Starting point is 00:00:00 Happiness. We all know what it feels like, but sometimes it doesn't come easy. I'm Garvey Bailey, the host of Happy Enough, a new podcast from The Globe and Mail about our pursuit of happiness. We know people want to live more fulfilling and positive lives, but how do we actually do that? Is there a happiness code to crack? From our relationship with technology to whether money can really buy you happiness, we'll hear from both real people and experts to demystify this thing we're all searching for and hopefully find ways to be happy enough. You can find Happy Enough wherever you listen to podcasts. Using free speech to free minds. You're listening to The David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it's Friday the 7th of June, Year of Our Lord 2024.
Starting point is 00:01:37 Well, today we're going to begin with D-Day. Yes, I know it was yesterday. We're going to cover what happened yesterday and i think that the people who are mocking biden's failings there are actually missing the bigger point and so we're going to see what happened 40 years ago and we're also going to take a look at how he pushed for World War III. Use the event to push for World War III. We're going to take a look at the weaponization of the health dictatorship. And we've got a very interesting video that somebody got by accident. They got inside by accident a Canadian Zoom meeting of all the health officials. Stay with us.
Starting point is 00:02:29 We'll be right back. Well, it was D-Day, 80 years ago. And I think one of the most memorable D-Days was 40 years ago. We still had people who were in their late 50s, but most of them in their 60s, many of them in their early 60s because they were very young at the time that it happened. But of course, it's also a reminder that this was the last fourth turning.
Starting point is 00:03:16 We have yet to be tested like those people were at D-Day. And I hope that we are up for the test. There was an interesting comment on some of the events at WNG.org. They said, we live in a world that has emerged from the outcomes of great contests and wars. We live in the world of the last fourth turning. It's emerged. It's moved on from that. We've gone through this
Starting point is 00:03:45 cycle of every 70 to 80 years the institutions aging just as we see our politicians aging you know biden was i think 18 months old when d-day happened 80 years ago and our institutions have aged just like he has. And they are as incapable as he is. And as authoritarian and corrupt. Of course, he's always been authoritarian and corrupt. So we live in a world shaped by the great contests and wars of 80 years ago. We cannot quite imagine what the world would have looked like had these events turned out differently. When we think about the greatest amphibious operation in history, Operation Overlord, commonly known as D-Day, it is easy to think that the Allied success was a foregone conclusion. We can't imagine what an Allied failure would have meant in the aftermath. This is one of the
Starting point is 00:04:40 reasons why I enjoy reading alternate history fiction. But if it's good, it gets you to think about, you know, what would have changed if this or that had gone differently? Our tendency to think about history in terms of inevitability leads to another human tendency to take the outcome for granted, to neglect its committing significance today, and ultimately to forget the event altogether. Ultimately, Operation Overlord involved an assault on Normandy with 175,000 men and 50,000 vehicles supported by 5,333 ships 11,000 aircraft stephen ambrose noted in his book d-day the climactic battle of world war ii that the achievement of the operation was as if the cities of green bay racine and kenosha wisconsin were picked up and moved every man woman and child every automobile and truck
Starting point is 00:05:43 to the east side of Lake Michigan in one night. Well, there's a lot of statistics that we can talk about. And there's a lot of things about the sweep of history that we can talk about. Happiness. We all know what it feels like, but sometimes it doesn't come easy. I'm Garvey Bailey, the host of Happy Enough, a new podcast from The Globe and Mail about our pursuit of happiness. We know people want to live more fulfilling and positive lives, but how do we actually do that? Is there a happiness code to crack? From our relationship with technology to whether money can really buy you happiness. We'll hear from both real people and experts
Starting point is 00:06:26 to demystify this thing we're all searching for and hopefully find ways to be happy enough. You can find Happy Enough wherever you listen to podcasts. But one of the things that made Reagan's speech of 40 years ago at D-Day, the 40th anniversary of D-Day, one of the things that made that perhaps the greatest speech of his career, and he gave a lot of great speeches. He was, after all, an actor.
Starting point is 00:06:59 He didn't necessarily write these speeches, but he could definitely deliver them, unlike our current crop of people. But what made this speech great, I think, is the focus on the individual. As Stalin said, a million deaths is a statistic, one death is a tragedy. Some who survived the battle of June 6th, 1944 are here today. Others who hoped to return never did. Someday, Liz, I'll go back, said Private First Class Peter Robert Zanatta of the 37th Engineer Combat Battalion and first assault wave to hit Omaha Beach. I'll go back and I'll see it all again. I'll see the beach, the barricades and the graves. Those words of Private Zanatta come to us from his daughter,
Starting point is 00:07:54 Lisa Zanatta Henn, in a heart-rending story about the event her father spoke of so often. In his words, the Normandy invasion would change his life forever, she said. She tells some of his stories of World War II, but says of her father, the story to end all stories was D-Day. He made me feel the fear of being on that boat waiting to land. I could smell the ocean and feel the seasickness. I can see the looks on his fellow soldiers faces, the fear, the anguish, the uncertainty of what lay ahead. And when they landed, I can feel the strength and courage of the men who took those first steps through the tide to what must have surely looked
Starting point is 00:08:39 like instant death. Private Zanatta's daughter wrote to me, I don't know how or why I can feel this emptiness, this fear, or this determination, but I do. Maybe it's the bond I had with my father. All I know is that it brings tears to my eyes to think about my father as a 20-year-old boy having to face that beach. The anniversary of D-Day was always special for her family, and like all the families of those who went to war, she describes how she came to realize her own father's survival was a miracle. So many men died. I know that my father watched many of his friends be killed. I know that he must have died inside a little each time. But his explanation to me was, you did what you had to do, and you kept on going.
Starting point is 00:09:34 When men like Private Zanotta and all our Allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy 40 years ago, they came not as conquerors, but as liberators. When these troops swept across the French countryside and into the forests of Belgium and Luxembourg, they came not to take, but to return what had been wrongly seized. When our forces marched into Germany, they came not to prey on a brave and defeated people, but to nurture the seeds of democracy among those who yearn to be free again. Lisa Zanatta Henn began her story by quoting her father who promised that he would return to Normandy. She ended with a promise to her father who died eight years ago of cancer. I'm going there, Dad, and I'll see the beaches and the barricades and the monuments.
Starting point is 00:10:29 I'll see the graves and I'll put flowers there just like you wanted to do. I'll feel all the things you made me feel through your stories and your eyes. I'll never forget what you went through, Dad, nor will I let anyone else forget. Dad, I will always be proud. Through the words of his loving daughter, who is here with us today, a D-Day veteran has shown us the meaning of this day far better than any president can. It is enough for us to say about Private Zanatta and all the men of honor and courage who fought beside him four decades ago, we will always remember. We will always be proud.
Starting point is 00:11:20 We will always be prepared so we may be always free I think there's a job opening for speechwriter for both Biden and Trump. The pathetic stuff. It's all about them. It's all about them, isn't it? Every time you hear these two clowns talk, it's all about them. It's all about them, isn't it? Every time you hear these two clowns talk, it's just disgusting. How are we to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day? Well, one course of action is to reject the idea that the United States is nothing more than an experiment in racism, degeneracy, and hypocrisy. If the United States is a nation essentially committed to racial hierarchies and
Starting point is 00:12:26 white supremacy, why would it go to such lengths as it did on June 6, 1944, to eradicate a regime that was actively pursuing a policy of genocide on a racial basis? Instead, we can embrace gratitude to God for giving Allied forces, led by the United States, success in destroying Nazi rule in World War II and subsequent communist rule in Eastern Europe and Cold War. Perhaps the men who threw themselves against the Nazi fortifications at Normandy can serve as an inspiration for us today. An inspiration animated by a renewed confidence that we are Americans and we have a kernel of moral courage within us yet. That's by John D. Wilsey, an associate professor of church history at the Southern Baptist
Starting point is 00:13:22 Theological Seminary. But I want to play for you just a little bit of what Reagan had to say, because I think it touches on the difference between what is a justified war and just a war. And unfortunately, since World War II, we've been involved in one conflict after the other that's just a war, but not justified. Listen to what he had to say. This, I think, was one of the key, other than the tribute to the people who fought and died, I think from a policy standpoint, this is the key.
Starting point is 00:14:00 Some who survived the Battle of June 6, 1944, are here today. Others who hoped to return never did. Someday, Liz, I'll go back. I'm sorry. I didn't put, I guess we don't have that in there. There was two Reagan clips. The just war clip was not in there. But what I wanted to cut out was when he said they came not as conquerors, but liberators they came not to take but to return what had been wrongly seized in other words it matters what we're fighting for it matters how the war begins it matters that we don't start the war that we are not the aggressor and we have been over and over we have not followed the principles of just war. What is it that gives people that kind of courage
Starting point is 00:14:47 to face these kinds of insurmountable odds? They have to understand they're doing it for the right cause. They're not just doing it because they're paid. They're not doing it just because they have to follow orders. They have to do it because they have their heart in it. And you can't have your heart in it if it's not justified. And you look at the tremendous cost that some people pay. Bedford, Virginia.
Starting point is 00:15:15 Almost like Bedford Falls. But no, this is in Virginia. It's a real town. When brothers Raymond and Bedford Hoback joined the army from Bedford, Virginia. Oh, okay. There's the last, it's on the last clip. Okay. But don't worry about it.
Starting point is 00:15:32 I will, we'll move on. Thank you. They couldn't take much with him, but Raymond made sure when he joined to tuck his Bible into his bag. And three years later, when he waded into the thunderous water at Omaha Beach, he still had his Bible with him. By then, World War II had dragged on for nearly five years, and the Allies needed a decisive victory against Germany to gain the upper hand.
Starting point is 00:15:56 The coordinated amphibious assault on northern French coast included 156,000 troops from 12 nations. Just under half of the force, 73,000 men, came from the United States, and both of these brothers were among them. They came from the Virginia National Guard. There were no fewer than 37 men from in and around Bedford, a town of only 3 only 3 200 residents and they had 37 men there raymond was 24 his brother bedford named for his grandfather but not the town was 30 years old you know this is the type of uh by the way you know we look at the massive casualties during
Starting point is 00:16:38 the civil war uh that that was the issue there i mean the incredibly high percentage of people that both went to war and were killed that's one of the reasons why we had so many of these monuments it was a monument to the soldiers virtually all of them owned no slaves i mean we were in north carolina the town we were in they took down a Monument to a generic Confederate soldier. Well, the generic Confederate soldier was not rich enough to own any slaves And as I've said many times is about other factors beside that it was about the creation of the nation state changing from an agrarian to a Manufacturing society you had a civil war happening in Italy at exactly the same time,
Starting point is 00:17:27 1861 to 1865 for exactly the same reasons. They didn't have slaves. It was not about that. That was another issue. And it is an issue. No doubt about it. Diminishing what that is at all. These people who fought that were honored,
Starting point is 00:17:43 these people who so many of them who such a large percentage of the population who died, they did not own slaves. But getting back to this, a town of 3,200 residents, 37 men from that town, with their brothers in arms, these two brothers, stormed ashore on omaha's dog green sector the same one that's portrayed in the brutal opening of the film saving private ryan most men fell in their first minutes at normandy by d-day's end 20 of bedford's sons had lost their lives two more from the town died in subsequent combat, and another four also became war casualties. With two-thirds of its servicemen killed, missing, or wounded on D-Day, Bedford suffered more losses per capita than any other community in America. Eventually, the town's fallen became known simply as the Bedford boys. And so, moving on, we had, well, before we get to that, how did the family learn of their
Starting point is 00:18:51 deaths? They got their first message on Sunday morning. Well, after a month had passed since D-Day and the news was filled with parents' nightmares. Thousands of boys, dead or maimed. Hundreds missing in action. Had Raymond and Bedford survived the assault at Normandy? The Hobacks didn't know. They'd heard nothing from the army, which was good,
Starting point is 00:19:14 but also nothing from their sons, which was not good. And I want you to think about this. We take war too lightly, especially in America. We have not had war on our soil since the Civil War. We have not seen like the Russians have seen. Tens of millions of people die in their own country during war. We take it far too lightly. Even nuclear war we take far too lightly.
Starting point is 00:19:43 We are so detached from reality. It's like we live in a virtual reality already. Then on July 16th, as they prepared to attend their Methodist church across the street from their home, there was a knock at the door, and it was the Bedford Sheriff. In his hand, he held a telegram that Private Bedford Hoback had been killed in action. The next day, another telegram. Sergeant Raymond Hoback was missing in action. About a month later, they got another message from Normandy, this time in the form of a package. It came from a West Virginia corporal named Harold Creighton.
Starting point is 00:20:24 They didn't know him, but his package contained a measure of solace for their grief. It was Raymond's Bible. He found the book on Omaha Beach. On his first page, the Bible contained a handwritten inscription from Mother Christmas 1938. He had consulted its family register, and he mailed the book with its red-edged pages back to Bedford. He said, I'm sending this knowing that most Bibles are a book to be cherished, he said. He said, I don't know what happened to its owner, but I assumed the best.
Starting point is 00:21:05 You have by now received a letter from your son saying he is well i sincerely hope but no they soon learned that he had died as well there was a book written about the bedford boys and their d-day experiences while some soldiers left home with inherited or cultural faith the author says the crucible of war hardened it as a 50th anniversary approached uh there was a movement i have a d-day national monument and they did it in this town because so many people had died from there. In 1996, Congress agreed that America would plant its D-Day monument in Bedford. Fundraising momentum grew, saving Private Ryan. Spielberg became an early donor,
Starting point is 00:22:01 and it is there now. It is important for us to remember what has happened, but it's important for us to not unnecessarily unleash the horrors of war, isn't it? And yet the New York Post says D-Day is a reminder that the U.S. can't retreat into isolationist self-blame. Is it? Is it? Even President Biden did not fail at the task in hand.
Starting point is 00:22:36 Oh, really? You want to talk about the task in hand? Look at this. He is so out of it. He tries to hold Macron's hand. Yeah, okay. It's okay. I'm here.
Starting point is 00:22:44 He pats him on the back he reaches out it's like uh where am i help me uh by the way you hear that music in the back recognize that that is um part of the liberty fanfare they play that throughout the ceremony interestingly enough liberty fanfare which we opened the show with a version of it well that i changed for the show uh but that was um and i'm wondering perhaps they did that because that uh was written by john williams to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the statue of liberty which was donated by the french people to the to america and uh since you know they were there in france i guess they decided they would play Liberty Fanfare.
Starting point is 00:23:26 But then, of course, when you look at Biden's general health, he was shuffling along, and this was the one that got everybody's attention. Okay, the shaking hands are there on the podium. He's kind of not there, and he takes a half step. And he kind of bends over and stays half bent over, almost like he's trying to sit down in a chair that's not there. She puts her hand up, and she's telling him there's no chair, something, I guess. I don't know exactly what's going on with it. I think a lot of people, well, I know a lot of people all over social media,
Starting point is 00:24:01 it's like he's pooping in his pants. Who knows what he was doing? He probably doesn't know what he was doing but he was having some kind of a health issue one way or the other as he was bending over there because what happened right after that is that she walked him out there you go You hear the music? Now watch what Emmanuel Macron is doing. He's totally surprised. They just want to walk off and he's like, he's looking around, pointing. They're gone.
Starting point is 00:24:36 Now he starts running the other. Hey, here's somebody I can shake his hand. So he takes a bounding leap over there to shake this guy's hand. He finds somebody else to shake their hand as well. I don't know where Biden went, but I'm going to have to do this. But anyways, yeah, she just walks out. Something is wrong. Who knows what it is?
Starting point is 00:24:58 You know, people want to say that he was pooping in his pants and she had to take him out. He doesn't know what he's doing. Meanwhile, it wasn't just Americans and French who were there. It was also the UK. And it wasn't that Rishi Sunak was pooping in his pants. He had to campaign. He needed to go somewhere else that was more important. This is a guy who's Indian and now the prime minister of the UK.
Starting point is 00:25:29 Doesn't seem to be too interested in their history or why they still have a government there in the UK. And so Nigel Farage laid into him because he disappeared. And then the labor people laid into Rishi Sunak. By the way, when you look at the people 50 and above the voters, as Nigel Farage has said he's going to run as leader of the Reform Party, they're ahead of the conservatives. The ruling conservative party has fallen into third place
Starting point is 00:26:04 a couple of points behind the reform the reform candidates labor is double what the two of them are and that's a couple of points ahead if you look at the people who typically vote the older people 58 and above if you look at it overall there are a of points behind the conservatives, but I expect that's going to change. So Labor criticized Sunak for leaving, leaving early. He was there for one ceremony, then he left early and went back to campaign. But before Labor said anything about it, Nigel Farage was on it. And Nigel Farage was not there in an official capacity. He says, I'm here in a personal capacity.
Starting point is 00:26:47 I'm here because I was amazed to see that most young people don't know what D-Day was about, he said. And so he said, I've been going around, I've been doing videos and putting them on TikTok to educate people. He addressed the audience at the UK's national commemoration event in Normandy. He said, we owe you everything. Because there's just a handful of people now. Most of them are over 100. He said, the Prime Minister has checked out of the international D-Day event to fly back to UK to campaign.
Starting point is 00:27:27 I am here in Normandy in a personal capacity because I think it matters. Does he think it matters? He says, I'm outputting a lot of coverage on TikTok because the fact that a Royal British Legion poll showed that 52% of 18 to 34 year olds have never heard of D-Day. We've lost our countries and losing our countries because we have lost our history. You can bet that they've heard of reparations and the evil of white people and slavery and all the other issues. But they're not going to talk about really what is recent history. I was really surprised.
Starting point is 00:28:10 It never really went home to me just how close World War II was when I was a kid because it was something that was past. To me, it seemed almost as different as if it had been the Civil War or the Revolutionary War or some long-ago European war. It was only 10 years before I was born that it had happened. Then there was a lot of TV and movie shows about World War II, of course, because of the people who had been through it and were now, you know, maybe in their 30s or 40s. And then by the time I was in high school and I went with that group to Europe, I thought for the first time, how old,
Starting point is 00:28:55 are there any people here in Germany that were on the other side during the war? And I thought about it and I thought, oh, well, you know, we're not even 30 years away from the war. These people might be I thought oh well uh you know we're not even uh 30 years away from the war these people might be in their 40s and 50s and that was the first time it kind of really hit with me uh just how close uh world war ii had been in my life to that happening but uh we're not that far away. As a matter of fact,
Starting point is 00:29:29 Karen and I then went to England when we got married in 1980 and we spent a good deal of time there. And then between that time, the time we took our sons to England to kind of do a history tour, they found the war rooms in whitehall uh there in um westminster it was where churchill and his people there um it was underneath the government buildings and they had everybody forgotten about it and i've used this as an example
Starting point is 00:30:01 of the way people reacted after this idiotic COVID pandemic and lockdown that Trump and Biden pulled on us and the vaccination stuff. After that war ended, everybody just kind of walked away. Okay, let's not even talk about it anymore. And it was like that for about 50 years. You know, 40, 45, 50 years. And then somebody stumbled across this. And what's amazing about it was these offices where they're there. Nobody had said anything about it.
Starting point is 00:30:28 Nobody had ever wanted to go back and revisit it because it was such a horrible experience for them working around the clock, the pressure and all the rest of the stuff. And all the papers are strewn everywhere. Just as they had left it. As soon as the war ended, the maps with the pens stuck in it were still on the board. Everything was exactly as it had been left.
Starting point is 00:30:49 And they said, don't touch it. And so they set it up as a museum and you could walk through there and they would explain things. And it truly was amazing. And that, again, kind of hit home with me as to how recent that history was. But he said 52% of 18 to 34 year olds had never heard of D-Day. Farage said, I think that is appalling and a complete failure of the educational system. No, that's what the educational system is designed to do. The educational system is designed to take down our countries. And you do that by taking away the history and the culture and by making it all negative.
Starting point is 00:31:28 He says, so I'm putting out a lot of educational promotional stuff on TikTok to tell young people, hey, look, this really matters. He said, this sadly is the last time that we will have a gathering of veterans for a big occasion like this nothing would have stopped me from being here he said now we get into the politics the american politics what does it become about well it becomes about a back and forth personal attack trump versus biden uh biden's uh surrogates attack Trump as a draft Dodger. And they're right. He is. But so is Biden.
Starting point is 00:32:09 That was the amazing thing. Biden got five draft deferments. As a matter of fact, most people believe that he went into law school, not because he was a good student. He was a horrible student. He got through college by, you know,
Starting point is 00:32:23 skin of his teeth. And so then he goes to law school because otherwise he's got to go to Vietnam. He got Biden got five draft deferments. Now, of course, Trump is doing the same stuff. The two of them. The two of them. And it was not because they opposed the war. They just wanted to skip out.
Starting point is 00:32:48 These are the people that are commanders-in-chief. Biden had run for public office. At a very young age, he became a senator from Delaware. Delaware has only got one congressman, but they got two senators, so he went for senator. And so he became a senator from Delaware. I think he was like 27 or something like that. But he'd already been in office. He'd already been as part of one of the most liberal parts of the Democrats.
Starting point is 00:33:18 And yet, even in that capacity, he had never had anything to say for or against the Vietnam War. He only criticized Vietnam War when he was running for Senate than when he had to run against Nixon. But instead, what he has is some surrogates yesterday, a Marine Corps veteran, an Army veteran, a Navy veteran. They said that they put out a video. They said, we're going to highlight the stark contrast between Trump, who criticizes veterans and has refused to take accountability or to attend military funerals, to President Biden, who stands with our troops abroad and takes care of them at home.
Starting point is 00:33:57 Does he? I think he sends our troops abroad and he injects them at home. Doesn't he? You want to talk about how he respects people? And Trump wanted to do the same thing. Trump already had the plans. He was going to start doing it as soon as it was approved, just as Biden did.
Starting point is 00:34:14 Both of them were going to mandate it. There's no difference between them. They're both puppets of the military industrial complex and the intelligence community. And they're both draft dodgers. They both wanted to have nothing to do and uh you know quite frankly i i feel for the people who got caught up in vietnam uh they many of them thought they were doing their duty fighting for their country uh but it was uh not a war that we had any interest in.
Starting point is 00:34:45 And it's the kind of war that we've been involved in every single one of these wars since world war two. So, um, yeah, Trump did mock the wounded. We've had many reports of that from many, many different people. Uh, he denies it. I absolutely don't believe him. I believe all the other people who said it. But let's take a look at the boys of Pointe du Hoc,
Starting point is 00:35:11 Pointe du Hoc, if I'm pronouncing that correctly. This is the story of some of the people who had what was essentially a suicide mission, one of the toughest missions on D-Day. Um, they call them boys. They were army Rangers, but we're going to do that after we take a break. On Rumble, M sellers, we just lost my mother-in-law one month ago from late stage dementia.
Starting point is 00:35:41 And this is the kind of behavior she displayed. Yeah. What we were seeing from Biden. It is late-stage dementia. So the question is, are they going to try to run through the entire campaign with Biden and the condition that he's in? Or will, and then replace him afterwards, because he's not going to make it through another four years.
Starting point is 00:36:02 No way. Or are they going to do something before? That's really the only question before us at this point. We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back. © BF-WATCH TV 2021 You're listening to the david knight show well i played a little bit of reagan's speech at the 40th anniversary of d-day and uh something else happened there with the veterans who were then, and most of them in their 60s, and one of the 60-plus-year-old Ranger veterans, Herman Stein, along with a dozen Green Berets who were decades younger, reenacted the most difficult mission of D-Day,
Starting point is 00:37:45 scaling the 90-foot cliffs of Pointe du Hoc, France, to take out the German machine guns targeting the beach. Climbing hand over hand, the sexagenarian easily reached the top ahead of the younger men. And he said, all these younger guys will be all right if they just stick with it. They hug the cliff too much, he said. In 1944, the Allied plans had called for 225 Rangers, including Dog Company, to land on a tiny beach, scale the 10-story high cliffs under a torrent of enemy fire, and destroy the most dangerous gun battery threatening the American portion of the invasion. It was a suicide mission. Allied headquarters projected Ranger casualties would top 70%.
Starting point is 00:38:29 One intelligence officer remarked, it can't be done. Three old women with brooms could keep the Rangers from climbing that cliff. And in fact, only 90 of the 225 would succeed. They didn't have 70% casualties, but they did have 60% casualties, so he wasn't far off. Atop Pointe du Hoc, the Germans had constructed massive fortresses. They considered the position largely impregnable from seaborne attack, thanks to the 90-foot cliffs. Nevertheless, they had placed artillery shells suspended by wires, precursors to today's improvised explosive devices, along the cliff faces as an additional defense against seaborne assault. German machine guns and anti-aircraft guns could also hit the beach at the base of the cliffs, where any attacking craft will be forced to land. The fortifications made
Starting point is 00:39:27 land-borne and parachute attacks similarly difficult. They had heavy minefields, machine gun nests, bunkers, and barbed wire that would render an overland attack without armor practically impossible. The only possible allied route of attack was a frontal assault on the 90 foot cliffs. The formidable defenses there on Pointe du Hoc guarded six artillery pieces with a potential range of 14 miles, trained on the American landing beaches. Destroying them would be the most dangerous mission of D-Day, and it was also critical to the success of the mission.
Starting point is 00:40:07 The Rangers disgorged from their landing craft, many into water over their heads as they made their way to the rocky beach at the base of the cliffs. From the top of the cliffs, the German soldiers relentlessly fired on the incoming Americans with weapons that were capable of firing
Starting point is 00:40:20 1,200 and 1,500 rounds per minute. One of the Rangers who survived said, I thought it was kicking up pebbles and dirt, but they were actually bullets that were hitting the sand and kicking up the dirt around me. Some of the men, like Sigurd Sundby from Dog Company, struggled with the ascent. He said the rope was wet, kind of muddy,
Starting point is 00:40:37 my hands just couldn't hold. They were like grease, and I came sliding back down. I wrapped my foot around the rope and slowed myself up as much as I could, but my hands still burned. First Sergeant Leonard Lamel, Dog Company's senior enlisted man, took a machine gun bullet in his side but continued to ascend.
Starting point is 00:40:57 Adrenaline coursed through his body, allowing him to ignore the pain. Climbing next to the first sergeant was second platoon's radio operator, Sergeant Robert Fruling. Lommel could hear the ominous sound of crumbling rock as the face of the cliff gave way with each foothold. Running out of strength from making the treacherous hand over hand ascent while avoiding enemy fire, the wounded Lommel strained to lift his body the last few feet. When at last he crested Pointe du Hoc, he looked down and spotted Fruling, who was now near the summit but barely hanging on. He cried out for help.
Starting point is 00:41:32 Unable to reach the radio man, Lamel provided covering fire from his Thompson machine gun and shouted, hold on, I can't help you. Sergeant Leonard Rubin, he spotted him and called out for him to help the struggling Ranger. Just as ruling was slipping down the rope, Rubin grabbed him by the nape of his neck and with a mighty swing hoisted him over the top of the point. Pretty strong guy. Well, Mel and his men fought through a maze of bunkers. They found the guns that they had come to destroy were not there.
Starting point is 00:42:07 Acting on their own initiative, they found tire tracks made by German guns and followed them. After fighting through several German strong points, they located five of the guns in an apple orchard, hidden under camouflage netting. Using thermite grenades, they disabled the weapons. Two men accomplishing a mission that hundreds of Allied bombers and scores of heavy naval guns of Allied warships failed to achieve.
Starting point is 00:42:33 Their surviving Rangers then tackled their secondary mission. They set up a roadblock across the road atop the point that connected Omaha and Utah beaches. On the night of June 6th through 7th, hundreds of Germans counterattacked in force, overrunning portions of the Ranger position and nearly retaking the point in an epic assault by the Rangers held. Eventually, they linked up with troops that fought their way off of Omaha Beach. Through personal initiative and courage, a small group of men proved that they could shape history.
Starting point is 00:43:08 Patrick K. O'Donnell is the one who wrote what I've just been reading to you. He's a military historian, writer, expert on elite units, and he said, most of the rangers in this article are my close friends. Only a few heroes of Dog Company remain, unlike the counterfeit heroes of Hollywood and the current pop culture who incessantly crave attention for faux achievements and insignificant acts,
Starting point is 00:43:35 this World War II generation of American rock stars is quietly fading before our eyes. We are living through some of the most dangerous times in history, as one historian put it. The past is present. Courage remains a priceless commodity. Like at Pointe du Hoc, where a small group of Americans rose to the moment to shape history and destiny, we stand at the edge of a precipice. We need a new generation to defend American liberty. Will they be up to the challenge? Will they follow in the footsteps of these heroes? Who is the enemy? The enemy is in Washington. The enemy wants to take away your food. They want to take away your
Starting point is 00:44:21 transportation. They want to take away everything that you own. They have declared their intentions. Now, we have people in the press, people in the alternative press, so to speak, who are quizlings, people who are collaborators, people who will do anything for the money. And that's what we're going to talk about coming up here. I want to, I'm not finished talking about the war though, because one of the things that was characteristic of this fight there, even though they did not do or say a great deal to respect the people that they were supposedly there to honor.
Starting point is 00:45:05 They turned it into Rishu Sunak, you know, and these other people, to a campaign event. Or they used it to push their war. They've inflicted on the Russian aggression. They've suffered tremendous losses in Russia. The numbers are staggering. 350,000 Russian troops dead or wounded. Bragging about that as Secretary of Defense Austin tells CNN that granting Ukraine permission to carry out strikes into Russian territory
Starting point is 00:45:41 with American weapons will be, quote, very, very helpful, helpful, helpful. If you want a nuclear war helpful, if you want to get into a war and enlarge a war that we have no business being there, except that we began the coup. He's there to push his war, not to pay any attention to the sacrifice of people who were trying to end a war. Trying to establish peace. Isn't it amazing? That at the very place, on the very day, 80 years afterwards, that you have people who laid down their lives to end a war.
Starting point is 00:46:28 And he's there talking about his pointless war that he wants to get us involved in. And nothing could be more of hypocrisy than that. And we'll talk about the moves for war when we come back. In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Congress has quietly moved to automatically register men for selective service in an event of a draft. You've got nothing but people pretty much in Congress. We're talking about Biden, or you're talking about Trump. These are people
Starting point is 00:47:49 who, when there was a draft, avoided it. Why are they putting this in? Well, because they know war is coming. The UK and other NATO countries are also quietly putting in selective service.
Starting point is 00:48:06 And guess who is registering? Are they registering the trans men and trans women? Are they registering women? No, it's all about getting the men. They know the physical demands of war. I mean, you look at that situation even today you know or i should say 40 years ago 40 years ago when the military was in better shape and you had this 60 year old guy beat the the young soldiers they were in their 20s it could climb that 90 foot wall faster than they could
Starting point is 00:48:38 it's about physical issues and yet the house Representatives, and who is it that's running this stuff? This is another one of these things from Machiavelli and Mike, slipping this stuff in. What a subtle traitor he is. He disgusts me. Quite frankly, I think Mike Johnson is more disgusting than Trump or Biden.
Starting point is 00:49:04 He is very calculating. He has a real snake. The House of Representatives, leadership of that, have subtly and suddenly accepted an amendment that would automate selective service for all eligible men in the event that a military draft is declared. He has identified himself as a wartime speaker. He's quietly and sneakily bringing back the draft because they know they're going to have
Starting point is 00:49:32 to have bodies to feed into this conflict. A draft has not been enacted in over 52 years since the Vietnam War. You know, the draft and the Vietnam War ended as I graduated high school. The negligence to enroll has increased in recent years. Registration options were removed from the federal student loan process two years ago. That had accounted for nearly a quarter of all registrations in prior years. So if you want to get a student loan to go to college college you had to register if you had not already done so but this amendment would bypass the paperwork and the failure to register it would automatically register young adult men once they turn 18 and this amendment will affect everyone ages 18 through 26
Starting point is 00:50:22 but you know it's not going to just be the people who are drafted into the war. I think nobody's going to miss this war. I think this war is going to affect everybody. It's one of the reasons why we need to speak up, speak out against this agenda. And when you look at what all the different NATO nations are doing, as I said, they're across the board. They're adding compulsory draft.
Starting point is 00:50:53 Only Denmark and Sweden are forcing the conscription of women, but they're doing it across Europe for men in 2022 the biden administration put out a formal policy that stated that men who identify as women must still enlist but women who identify as men do not need to register see they know what a woman is they pretend they don't know what a woman is well i don't know i'm not a biologist i never studied that in school. Really? Don't know much about history. Don't know much biology. Oh, they do. They do know the history.
Starting point is 00:51:34 They do know the biology. They're not going to get women who are pretending to be men. No, no, no. We want the real thing. Even if it's Corporal Klinger, we want to take him with us to war. It reveals that the military industrial complex is looking to ensure that when draft is enacted, they have abled bodies at their disposal. Yeah, that's a wine press puts it that way. They're absolutely right. They will be disposed of.
Starting point is 00:52:01 They will dispose of our country with the wars. They will dispose of our economy of just as they've disposed of our history uh russian think tank head said a full-scale war isn't a foregone conclusion well i guess that depends maybe from their perspective but i think maybe from the perspective of nato i think they decided that's what they wanted back in 2014 when they did the coup and began the civil war in Ukraine. A full-scale war is not a foregone conclusion, but unfortunately, its likelihood is growing, said a director of a think tank called Russian International Affairs Council. He said, one option is that there'll be a great rise in confrontation between us. At the root of this is the Ukraine issue, as the West continues to provide large-scale military assistance to Kiev.
Starting point is 00:52:58 How about those weapons, long-range weapons that fire directly into Russia? He said a number of officials, particularly in France and the UK, have said that individual military units from NATO countries may be deployed to Ukraine. If they take part in military operations against the Russian forces, they will become a legitimate target for our army. Let's hope this possible escalation involves conventional arms and not nuclear weapons. Meanwhile, he said, NATO is spending 10 times as much as Russia, if not more, on defense. It is certainly a dangerous scenario. And he said, we have the capacity to deter these threats. However, such a scenario will cause irreparable damage to everyone.
Starting point is 00:53:50 Everyone. War should be a last resort. And yet, for our government, it is a first resort. Why? Because so many companies and individuals make so much money off of the weapons. And they use these wars as a profit center you can test the weapons and then you can replace the weapons when they get blown up and you can replace the people too just get more people out there they're nothing uh they're probably not as
Starting point is 00:54:20 important to these politicians as the tanks or whatever they get blown up so one person who's an emerging market equity strategist at morgan stanley wrote in a note to clients in april that the shift toward a multipolar world has been underway for the last five years and he says with that comes a war cycle turning. Again, people who don't know history, who don't pay attention to these cycles, don't know that. I mean, they talk all the time, don't they, about millennials and Generation X and Y and Z and all the rest of this stuff, but they don't want you to know the ABCs of all this stuff. They don't want you to know about the 80-year cycle.
Starting point is 00:55:10 And we're coming up to the last four years of it. So it's probably going to end just before 2030. This next, after this election, whoever becomes president, will be there from 2025 to 2029. So, Melanin says we need to start to prepare for the unthinkable. He said,
Starting point is 00:55:35 these are the lines that none of us would have ever wanted to write, but we have to. The current situation in and around the war in Ukraine has opened a path which could lead to nuclear confrontation. And would just add that nato shows no interest in de-escalation they show no interest in legitimate peace talks and by the way neither did trump this all began in the obama administration 2014. and even though these people that had been installed by biden even though these people were obviously a part of the hillary clinton movement and i reported about that i said you know you
Starting point is 00:56:15 look at uh uh we had i interviewed whistleblowers from ukraine that said um you had uh alexandria chalupa you had a bunch of people from the DNC that were there. They were conspiring and conniving to do this and that. And Biden family was making tens of millions of dollars with all the stuff that was happening as Ukraine became this little sandbox for the Democrat Party in World War III. Trump did nothing.
Starting point is 00:56:42 He did nothing he did nothing uh in fact what he did was he told nato to uh up their ante start preparing preparing for what why isn't this thing obsolete you know on the one hand he would say well you know he would his uh supporters would say he understands that nato is obsolete we we aren't at war with russia. We shouldn't be at war with Russia. So why do we need NATO? Does it have a mission? Why do we need to keep NATO around? And yet, as he would feed that to people at one level,
Starting point is 00:57:16 and his surrogates would feed that to people, in reality, what he was doing was going around and telling everybody, rather than, well, let's shut this thing down. He was saying, let's build it up. Let's build it up. You need to get your levels up your levels are too low germany don't you realize he told germany that you are enabling russia you're buying oil from russia you need to buy oil from us and you need to up your defense spending you need to buy some weapons from us that's what trump was doing. He was bolstering NATO because he's on the same page with Biden on that
Starting point is 00:57:51 as he's on the same page with Biden about the ineffective lockdown and hospital measures and about the vaccine and about all of these existential issues. You wonder why they don't talk about existential issues, the things that affect our very existence? Because there's no difference between them on that. They pick some other issues that typically don't have anything to do with the critical issues.
Starting point is 00:58:20 On the critical issues, they're both the same. Ukraine has struck another early warning over the horizon radar, this time near Orsk, 1,500 kilometers from Ukraine. This radar did not even look in the direction of Ukraine, which makes a strike an act of madness or something sinister, says Melanin. These strikes to the Russian early warning system can only serve two aims. Number one, Ukrainian leadership is desperately trying to commit NATO to war in Ukraine, or these strikes are preparation for nuclear strikes to Russia by the U.S. If they've got an early warning nuclear system that's not facing Ukraine,
Starting point is 00:59:06 not facing the East, and they use this to take those things out because the U.S. is going to be sending in missiles? If you're a Russian, you have to think that way. What is more than that, according to the Kremlin, the U.S., the U the uk and france have deployed ground based intermediate and short-range missile systems to ukraine these systems were previously banned by the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty from which trump had withdrawn the u.s
Starting point is 00:59:40 in february 2019 citing russian non-compliance and missiles developed by China. So we had an INF treaty, and Trump got us out of it in 2019, quietly preparing everything for Biden, preparing the vaccine, preparing the war, and continuing the policies and the wars, all of the wars of Obama. Obama had more than seven wars. We openly knew about seven wars that he had escalated to at the same time. Trump kept all of those.
Starting point is 01:00:18 And then he does things like pulling us out of the INF Treaty and bolstering NATO for the coming war. They're on the same page, folks. They work for the same people. These missile systems can be used to strike deep into Russia. The risk is that if Ukraine would continue to target the early warning system of Russia, at some point, the Kremlin would simply be forced to act, because it would seriously undermine their nuclear deterrence. Nuclear deterrence operates in three dimensions, time, distance, and altitude. Over-the-horizon radars are crucial for all three
Starting point is 01:00:58 dimensions, as early warnings give authorities time, distance, and altitude to react and to enact defensive measures. If they are taken out, modern nuclear deterrence simply fails. And this is the reason why the Kremlin would be forced to act or to react if the early warning system of Russia is compromised by a foreign party. This is why, he said, we with an extremely heavy heart issue a warning of a possible nuclear strike in Europe. This warning is effective for the first time. We don't present any estimated likelihood for it at this point at least. However, we note that if strikes to Russian early warning systems continue, the threat will grow rapidly.
Starting point is 01:01:47 While still unlikely, we urge you to start to prepare for the unthinkable. Yeah, that's right. Well, please remind people to like the stream wherever you're watching it. Whenever you are watching it, it helps us a great deal. And you want to prepare for something, uh, civil defense, manual.com civil defense, manual.com. Um, he's even got a section in there about nuclear war. If you're not taken out in the first blast, uh, make sure that you're prepared
Starting point is 01:02:19 because it's going to be hell on earth. Um, many people prefer to be taken out in the first blast. But there are things that you can do if you're not in the blast area to survive. It's going to be total chaos. But he also has things there that will help you in case we have civil unrest or civil war or in case we have natural emergencies or whatever it is. It's a great book. You can find that at Civil Defense Manual.
Starting point is 01:02:48 Also, davidknight.gold will help you to prepare against some of the financial attacks that we also see coming. And we're going to talk more about that as the war on cash is escalating in some very interesting ways here in the United States. And as yesterday, Tony Arderman and I talked about the petrodollar and how they're trying to destroy that as well.
Starting point is 01:03:10 Pretty much have already done so, really. It's in a death spiral if you understand what's going on with it. So if you go to DavidNight.Gold, that'll take you to Tony Ardovin's Wise Wolf Gold, and there you can buy gold, silver, large or small amounts. You can join and get into a club and get bulk discounts as part of Wolfpack. You can pick an amount that you would like to save each month and get that amount in gold and silver. He's got a lot of different tiers there for Wolfpack.
Starting point is 01:03:40 And finally, you can also use Tony to help you move some or all of your IRA to a metals individual retirement account. So go to davidknight.gold. That'll take you to Tony Aardman. And we will be right back. Thank you. Thank you. Making sense common again. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Well, I want to thank Michelle Obama and thank you for the tip on Rockfin. I appreciate that. And if you would like to know how to support the program, if you'd like to find links to where the show is, go to the David Knight show dot com. And you'll find the links to the show and video formats.
Starting point is 01:06:01 We have three different video places, at least, that we posted on. And Travis does the posting. Is it three or do we have more than that? Anyway, we also put up some clips that are taken out of the three-hour shows. The full three-hour show is there, as well as some individual clips on a regular basis. And then we put up, in terms of podcast, audio podcast, we put up a full show each day. And if we have an interview, we separate that out. It can be sometimes hard to find us on the podcast.
Starting point is 01:06:31 So take a look. We have most of the podcast places. We have a link to where you can find us. We're on all the podcast platforms except for Spotify, which has done its best to shut us down consistently. So you can find us pretty much anywhere else. You can look for us on Roku as well. And so information about that, information about how you can support the program,
Starting point is 01:06:57 and we really would like to have your support. You can see the fuel gauge that is there as well. So let's talk a little bit about what is happening with the domestic war of the pandemic the war on our liberty the war on our food the war on our economy the war on our transportation of course all these things are tied together because the pandemic mcguffin is the same as the climate mcguffin if you get to the bottom line it's all about enslavement and depopulation. And so one of the things that we got in, and I've got a longer clip from a medical doctor who is in New Zealand.
Starting point is 01:07:42 And a friend of hers was mistakenly invited into a Canadian, I guess we'd call it a conspiracy. That's what it is. And these people are conspiring about how they're going to run this bird flu pandemic over us. And I thought it was very interesting. But we're also, before we get to that, we're going to talk about some of the quizlings in the media who are pushing this stuff. Now, I expect to see this kind of stuff from Time and Newsweek. Time and Newsweek were the people that in the late 1970s were telling us that we were going to have no more oil and no more natural gas by the mid-1980s. Idiots and liars.
Starting point is 01:08:19 I never believed. I saved those magazines because it was so ridiculous. But now they're out there saying stuff like this. A nerd, a new nerd, a new bird flu death is making experts uneasy. Well, first of all, it's not a bird flu death. Okay. And now we're appealing to experts, but notice that they only say it's uneasy. When we look at the alternative right, the alternative media, they're pushing this and
Starting point is 01:08:50 hyping this. And it's amazing to me to see them pushing this and hyping it more than Time and Newsweek and the Washington Post and New York Times. The people who are supposed to be on our side, the people who are supposed to be on the side of the Constitution, the people who are supposed to be, and they say they are, opposed to all the lockdown stuff and the pandemic, except they didn't oppose the guy who did it to us. So maybe they don't oppose it.
Starting point is 01:09:15 Maybe as long as they can push fear and make money, maybe they're just fine with it, just like CNN. Maybe there's no difference, is there? Maybe they're showing who they really are at this point. And now here is, we'll take a look at both of the, I've got a source, Time, as one example, and then I've got another source that I'll read to. This is supposed to be about the conservative media, the alternative right media, and it is even worse.
Starting point is 01:09:49 Here's what Time says. The case was first reported to the WHO on May the 23rd by health officials in Mexico City, where a 59-year-old man with several other health conditions was hospitalized. Before reporting shortness of breath, diarrhea, and nausea. The man had been bedridden for three weeks. Another one of these, how they muddy the water with cases, right?
Starting point is 01:10:13 Did I from it or with it? He may not have even had it right. Probably didn't. What he had was a PCR process. And as I pointed out, you know, this is even more ridiculous than the PCR stuff that they ran on us four years ago.
Starting point is 01:10:31 They have ramped that up and nobody asks, what are the cycle thresholds? Nobody asked, uh, uh, because now this is digital PCRs. I read to you the other day and somebody who works who works on these systems, who actually sells them. And he wrote in to Adam Kerr and he said, so here's what's going on.
Starting point is 01:10:50 This is far more sensitive than ramping up one of the qualitative PCRs into 40 cycles, magnifying things by 1.1 trillion times. This is far worse than that. It is a digital PCR. So they've changed this. They've made these things even more ridiculously sensitive. Already they could find anything that they wanted with anybody pretty much. But he had a lot of issues. We don't know what he died from. Bedridden for three weeks was he out and around milking cows or something? Because, you know, bird flu is all about cows now, isn't it?
Starting point is 01:11:25 Isn't that strange? Doesn't that ring false to you? It does to me. The patient did not have any known exposure to infected animals, says Time. None of the patient's close contacts or those who were caring for him in the hospital tested positive for the virus. Well, that sounds pretty suspicious, doesn't it? This reminds me of the panic case that they were putting out about swine flu
Starting point is 01:11:51 back in the 1970s. Remember Mike Wallace and 60 minutes, Chris Wallace, his father who, even though he had a very leftist slant, he was honest. Unlike his son, unlike the journalists that we see today. I tell you, when Gerald Slendy calls them prostitutes, he's right. They'll do anything for money. It's amazing what they will do for money.
Starting point is 01:12:15 And after the swine flu debacle, after a few people got injured, they had Guillaume Baret was noticed for the first time. That's now become a staple of vaccine injuries subsequently, but back in the seventies, that was a new thing. And the vaccine, after it hurt a few people, they stopped it. And then Mike Wallace was 60 minutes, did an expose on it. And he brought in a woman who was paralyzed from Guillaume Bray syndrome. And she was gradually working through therapy to try to get back some mobility, to be able to move around and walk with braces
Starting point is 01:12:47 and things like that, but mostly ridden to a wheelchair. And she said, well, you know, the way this whole thing rolled out, and he went to the narrative of how the media had pushed this. She said, they were telling us about the soldier who got it and died.
Starting point is 01:13:03 And she said, I thought, well, if a young, healthy soldier can die from this, I'm older. I'm not in the shape of a healthy soldier. But then Mike Wallace told us what the story was, what the reality was. The reality was that there were three guys who were sick with the flu, and they were in the infirmary. Now, the other two guys, their commanding officer, drill sergeant,
Starting point is 01:13:27 or whoever it was, gave them a pass and said, stay here, you're sick, we're not going to have to come out and drill. However, this third guy, his commanding officer told him, no, you still got to do it. So he took him out of the sickbed, put a pack on him, and made him do the hiking and stuff like that. And he collapsed. And, you know, the CEO or somebody that was, I think it was a CEO, came over and gave him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, a whole bunch of stuff like that.
Starting point is 01:13:57 Now, this kid died. But the CEO that gave him the mouth-to-mouth, the CPR stuff, did not die. He didn't get sick. He didn't get sick. And the two guys that were there, they didn't die. They got better. They had the flu. They got better.
Starting point is 01:14:14 But they used that to push swine flu. And then they did everything they could to get people to take the swine flu shot. And Travis, I don't have the swine flu thing in here. Can you? Oh, here it is. There it is. Okay. Here, if we go back and we look at, there was a news.
Starting point is 01:14:38 First, there's a commercial that's being run by the government. And then there was a news organization that said, you know, what happened to swine flu? I mean, that's all we were talking about a year ago. And now there's no stories at all about it. It just disappeared. Joe brought it home from the office. He gave it to Betty and one of his kids and to Betty's mother.
Starting point is 01:15:01 But Betty's mother went back to California the next day. On her way to the airport, she gave it to a cab driver, a ticket... Government propaganda is what you're listening to here. At school, Joe's kid gave it to some other kids. And Mrs. Merrill got it
Starting point is 01:15:17 and gave it to her husband. In California, Betty's mother gave it to her best friend, Dottie. But Dottie had a heart condition and she died. But before she died, Dottie gave it to her girlfriend, the mailman, the paperboy, and the vet when she went to pick up her chihuahua. If a swine flu epidemic comes, this is how it could spread.
Starting point is 01:15:43 You'll want to be protected especially if your elderly are chronically ill get a shot of protection the swine flu shot well this first installment brings back a story that dominated our lives last fall the swine flu pandemic it was expected to kill millions and the cdc even predicted 40 percent of the population would be infected. But we don't hear about it anymore. Tonight, you've asked, what happened to the swine flu? And KXY4's Melissa Luck says, good question. Here in the newsroom, we have done a ton of stories about the swine flu since the outbreak began last year. This is our news archive system.
Starting point is 01:16:19 I just want to see how many swine flu stories we did here at KXY in 2009. There's your answer, 1,733 swine flu stories we did here at KXLY in 2009. There's your answer. 1,733 swine flu stories last year. We're only a couple of months into 2010 so far, but the CDC says the swine flu is still very much a reality. But we did the same search for swine flu stories this year, just five swine flu stories. Remember when you couldn't turn on the TV without hearing us talk about the swine flu? Swine flu. Swine flu. I know, it's been a while. Before Christmas, even before Thanksgiving.
Starting point is 01:16:48 In fact, all the way back to April. But who could forget when the swine flu fears had people lined up for hours outside the Spokane Arena. You're over 25. You need to have an underlying condition. Desperate for the few swine flu shots available. Now, it seems like no one's talking about it anymore. What do you think about that? That's weird. It seems like a lot of people have stopped talking about it. Do you think it's the threat's gone? Do you think people have just aren't
Starting point is 01:17:13 thinking about it? What do you think? I'd say the threat's probably down a little bit. But is it really true? So tell me what we've got here. Okay, so this is where we have the vaccine for the health district. We have probably between 3,500 and 4,000 doses in here. Danielle Klein tracks vaccine for the health district. She remembers when the demand was so high, these fridges were empty. You'd get the nasal spray vaccine sooner. Phones were ringing off the hook for people desperate for a shot in the arm. She went from intern to full-time employee because of the swine flu.
Starting point is 01:17:42 It was really busy. And what's it like now, slow? Kind of. The numbers prove that. Today, no states report widespread flu activity. 57 million cases have been reported since April, but in Washington and Idaho right now, flu cases were only sporadic. Is it a surprise to you that it's declined so much so quickly? No, it's typical when you have a pandemic to have a peak and then a rapid decrease in the number of cases. So we're definitely seeing that decrease, but believe it or not, there are still a handful
Starting point is 01:18:11 of cases out there and plenty of vaccine available if you want it. If this vaccine is not used by midsummer, the health district will destroy it and it will be used in next year's seasonal flu vaccine. Until then, keep your hands clean still and you sanitize and you'll be all right. Isn't that interesting? You hear that at the very end? Well, we'll either destroy it or we'll give it to people for next year's flu. Oh, so you're going to have the same flu that has declined? You know, you heard the expert, the scientific expert.
Starting point is 01:18:37 Yeah, you know, this is called Farr's Law. It goes back to the 1840s. If you've got something that's a bell-shaped curve, that's when they say, we've got to flatten the cleave. Well, his explanation is the reason that they got all this stuff there is because now everybody's had it, and they don't need it for this particular strain of flu. That's the theory they're selling you anyway.
Starting point is 01:18:56 So what they'll do is they'll inject people with it next year. And, of course, you saw the commercial from the 1970s. That was the swine flu. We first saw the vaccine epidemic of Guillain-Barre syndrome. And then you go to 2009 and then 2010, there's, it just disappears, but don't worry. They'll, they'll inject people with it. I had 1700 stories in 2009. Isn't that amazing? It's like six stories a day, practically. Six stories from just that one news organization. That's not all the different
Starting point is 01:19:35 news organizations. They're all running six stories a day about swine flu. And then next year they have six i have five total not six a day but five total and uh so where are we now with all this stuff okay they've overplayed their hands so badly with the vaccine stuff and this warp speed trump shot that most people are not going to take it so they're going to sell it to the animals. It'll be a real, you know, be a swine vaccine, a bird vaccine, a cow vaccine, all the rest of the stuff. They're going to mandate it to the farmers. Oh, you want us to shut your farm down? Or you can inject all your animals and put this garbage,
Starting point is 01:20:20 this mRNA garbage into our food. They're going to make their money money and they're gonna get this stuff into us one way or the other by hook or by crook the virus is inching closer to humans now that's what um um well one more thing one one guy and guy, and this is from time. They talked to a chief infection control officer at Tufts Medicine Health System. And Dr. Doran says, we've been seeing sporadic avian flu infection in humans for a long time. It very rarely transmits to other humans. But then they close by saying, but this virus is inching closer to humans, is it?
Starting point is 01:21:13 But if you want to see somebody really pushing it hard, you want to see a real quizzling to the system, take a look again at Zero Hedge. It's almost as if you can't get published on Zero Hedge if you're skeptical about the bird flu. Except that the people who are the readers who are there, the readers who are leaving comments, they are highly skeptical of this fear porn that's being pushed out by Zero Hedge on a daily basis that is far worse than Time magazine. Here's the headline at zero hedge now that someone has dropped dead fear of h5n2 is already starting to ripple all over the globe this is disgusting i know michael snyder i've
Starting point is 01:21:58 interviewed michael snyder many times michael you don't need to do this. Why are you making yourself a whore for this? W.H.O. You don't need to do this. You don't need to push lies and fear and panic because you're going to get us all locked down, enslaved as we were before. We still have the lockdown economic consequences percolating through our society in terms of commercial real estate, but also in terms of restaurants going out of business all over the place, not just in New York City where they've got the commercial real estate issues are the biggest, is happening everywhere. And so many small and medium-sized service businesses put out a business by Trump in 2020 because they were non-essential. Well, they were essential to the people who worked for them they were essential to the people who had poured their blood sweat and tears into making that
Starting point is 01:22:49 business and it makes me angry i'll tell you what you you push this kind of stuff michael snyder i'm not just because i know you i'm not going to pull back off of this stuff it's despicable to do this kind of thing. Now that somebody has dropped dead, nobody dropped dead. If you're that lazy, if you're that disinterested in actually doing the research, you've got nothing to say to anybody that anybody ought to be paying any attention to. And if you're not doing it out of ignorance and laziness, you're lying to people so that you can get your article on Zero Hedge.
Starting point is 01:23:28 And the question is, why is Zero Hedge pushing one article after the other to their audience? Fortunately, their audience is a bit too smart for them. This article has about 500 comments. All of them, like the previous articles, just ripping Zero Hedge, ripping the articles. Why are they pushing this stuff to us? Let me give you an example. This is how the article from Michael Snyder begins. We just learned that a person in Mexico has dropped dead after catching H5N2.
Starting point is 01:24:00 And people are already totally freaking out about this all over the Internet. Are they? Is it because they're reading you and people like already totally freaking out about this all over the internet are they is it because they're reading you and people like you michael no the people are not freaking out about it all over the internet but people like you are there to make them do that who are you really working for is this just your individual desire for fame and fortune or somebody paying you to do this kind of crap i talked about peter mccullough it's like come on you don't have to lie to people to sell ivermectin tell them the truth you can still sell it i mean quite frankly if somebody's gonna lie to me about a pandemic and they're selling me ivermectin at the same time i'm less likely to buy ivermectin and especially from that person i'll get it from somebody else and so he continues
Starting point is 01:24:52 he says dairy cows throughout the u.s have been getting infected with that version of the bird flu and three dairy workers have tested positive all of that is a lie i've talked about this for the last couple of weeks all of that is a lie every bit of that is a twist a distortion is based on lies from the CDC and the WHO conjunctivitis pink eye you get that from it's one of the most common things out there it's not dangerous it's not flu even they had no respiratory illness they didn't have one person had a cough nobody had any fever it's not flu it's pink eye you're working on a farm it's a dirty environment if you rub your eyes with your dirty hands you're going to get pink eye just that simple look it up michael snyder you're are you too lazy or dishonest to do that what's the matter
Starting point is 01:25:43 with you? We don't even know what an H5N2 outbreak among humans would look like, says Michael Snyder, because there's never been one, including now. So far, we have one confirmed case and one death. No, we don't. This is as bad as when Mike Adams was putting up. Look at this. Look at the CDC's got its new figures out. Look at everybody's dying from COVID now.
Starting point is 01:26:09 People aren't dying from heart attack. They're not dying from cancer. They're not even getting the flu anymore. Yeah, Mike, you've seen this rodeo before, and you know better. I've heard you talk about it. Zero Hedge is only publishing articles like this that push the bird flu pandemic fear, and they need to stop. They need to stop. Leave comments there.
Starting point is 01:26:37 Tell people you're not buying it. Back to Michael Snyder. He says, if it is confirmed that there is a human-to-human transmission of H5N2, it's is confirmed that there is a human-to-human transmission of H5N2, it's been confirmed that there wasn't, Mike. Why don't you actually look? Even the WHO, who is slow-walking us into this thing, they're not at this point pushing that lie.
Starting point is 01:26:57 So why are you? Well, he says, if this happens, if we get human-to-human transmission, or, you know, even if it doesn't happen, but the WHO or the CDC says that it happened, they're going to bring back the masks, the lockdowns, the shots, the public hysteria that we witnessed a couple of years ago. And the blink of an eye, the blink of an eye with conjunctivitis, the blink of a pink eye. That's exactly why you shouldn't be doing this, Michael.
Starting point is 01:27:27 Amazing. So let's take a look at some of these comments that people have up there. Here's the first one here. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, we give you the election variant. Well, it's not even about that. One person said what are the odds that a 59
Starting point is 01:27:47 year old male with comorbidities and sick for prior three weeks would be tested for h5n2 in mexico no less yeah um another person says something tells me this quote unquote virus doesn't even exist. And there's no purified isolation. Just like COVID. Just like HIV. That's what Fauci ran the PCR thing from. Cary Mullis. Cary Mullis fought him over that.
Starting point is 01:28:18 But of course, Cary Mullis had died just before they ran the PCR fraud. And another person says, well, at pedo pete has limited the number of infectious carriers because he's shutting down our transportation uh something tells me that montezuma might be involved with this caper says another one way back in 2006 researchers crow and Crow and Engelbrecht published an article entitled avian flu virus, H5N1, no proof for existence. 2006 pathogenesis, genicity,
Starting point is 01:28:55 or pandemic potential non H5N1 causation omitted. He says nothing has changed since then. See, we get a lot of really good and well-informed people who read zero hedge and you know zero hedge you're going to lose these people they're too smart for your obvious propaganda and lies another one uh we need to check every cow in america every week for for bird flu says the cdc or burks or whatever they totally aren't getting kickbacks of course from the chinese manufacturers of pcr tests
Starting point is 01:29:32 it doesn't always go back to china they've got their own games that they're running and uh so it just goes on and on like that. 500 comments. Nobody is buying the fear, Michael. Why are you pushing it? Get smart. And if you're, um, you know what you might want to think about is what life is like, is it going to be like for you if you push this kind of fear and help the globalists? I don't know who the people at a zero hedge are. I don't know any of them.
Starting point is 01:30:11 But, you know, Michael Snyder ran for Congress once. Maybe it's a good thing he didn't win. Looks like he's for sale. The person that just died after catching, here's back to his article, the person that just died after catching H5N2 lived in Mexico. And we're being told this individual had no exposure to poultry or other animals. The following comes directly from the official World Health Organization website. Again, oh, quote them as if they're going to tell us the truth, Michael. Please. That's your source?
Starting point is 01:30:37 And you know, the amazing thing about it is that the World Health Organization isn't pushing the fear as much as Michael Snyder is. It quotes them. They say, well, he had no history of exposure. The case had multiple underlying medical conditions. See, Michael, this is just a PCR PR campaign. It's what it is. But then he says, after he quotes the World Health Organization,
Starting point is 01:31:04 which is not nearly as alarmist as he says, after he quotes the World Health Organization, which is not nearly as alarmist as he is, he says this individual could have potentially spread the disease to hundreds or even thousands of others. No, he couldn't. They tested everybody that was there. The people who treated him, his friends, his relatives, everywhere. They tested all these people. And even with a digital PCR, more sensitive than a PCR with 40 cycles. They still found nothing, Michael. This is not even your bird flu. You're trying
Starting point is 01:31:29 to lock us down over something that doesn't even exist. It's amazing. If that is what actually happened, he said, it may already be too late to contain it. You see the fear? Michael Snyder and Zero Hedge are pushing more fear than time and the WHO.
Starting point is 01:31:48 Isn't that amazing? And yet I saw that four years ago. And this is what makes me angry. It makes me concerned. I saw that with the people I worked with at InfoWars. I saw it with a steady, every contributor that they're calling and pulling in. All of them hyping this. Oh, it's got this little hook and all this.
Starting point is 01:32:05 Come on. Are you that stupid? One expert said, we're in big trouble, says Michael Snyder. Once we have widespread infections of humans, we're in big trouble. And then he steps, takes one baby step back. He says, but I wouldn't push the panic button just yet. An isolated case is just an isolated case. It's not even that.
Starting point is 01:32:28 It's not even a case. And what is a case? Is a case a particular result on a PCR procedure? Is a case somebody that is sick? Is a case somebody who died? You know, Jeffrey Tucker talks about that. He said it was necessary for them to push the panic and that by by conflating all those different scenarios into
Starting point is 01:32:50 one term case we got cases here right fauci i got a case of this i got a case of that you got a case of the anyway um he says this week we learned and then he goes now he takes the next thing okay so have i scared you enough? Oh, well, we don't have the panic button just yet, but let me push the panic button. Says Michael Snyder. This week, we learned that 11 house mice in the state of New Mexico have tested positive for H5N1. Wow.
Starting point is 01:33:21 You see, they do it iteratively. Just as Fauci said, you do it from the inside and you do it iteratively. Now, the question is, is he on the inside or is he doing this from the outside because he can read the room just like I can? Why is it that the room for him is zero hedge? It's not the audience. The audience is not buying what Michael Snyder is selling. And the audience isn't buying what Zero Hedge is selling. So why is Zero Hedge selling it to you?
Starting point is 01:33:53 Who's paying them? I'm serious. We need to start questioning these sources if they're going to consistently push one-sided lies to us. I don't care what they've done in the past just like i didn't care what alex jones and mike adams had done in the past because of what they had said and done in the past i knew that they were lying and because of what these people have exposed in the past i know that they're lying too the question is who's paying them and why are they lying to you to push a fear pandemic? That's what you need to be asking yourself.
Starting point is 01:34:28 It's important, says Michael Snyder, to remember that the bubonic plague was spread all over Europe by mice. Fear, fear, fear. I got three blind mice here, right? And I've tested them with this procedure. And I've got the result that should scare you to death. And if it doesn't, we got Michael Snyder and Zero Hedge to scare you, too. And the Epoch Times did it this week as well on Zero Hedge. So this will be something, he said, that we want to keep a very close eye on.
Starting point is 01:34:54 Keep reading Zero Hedge for more updates about the fear. Scientists conducted a study which proves that mice can become infected with H5N1 after drinking raw milk from dairy cows. You think people, Michael, you think that people are buying raw milk as expensive as it is and feeding it to mice? Or just leaving it out on the counter or something for this? Are they getting it on the farm? You know, you got some leaky cows or something out there. What is the matter with him? Yeah, what he's doing is, well, you're not,
Starting point is 01:35:31 are you not scared enough? Okay, yeah. This guy dropped dead. No, he didn't. But, you know, don't panic yet. But here's some stuff. We got some mice that have it. And the mice can get it from the raw milk.
Starting point is 01:35:42 So we got to eliminate raw milk, which means we got to eliminate these small farms. They got to be out of business. Out of business. This piece is actually worse than the epic times. It's worse, far worse than time. Time doesn't start trying to scare you about mice and about mice and raw milk. That's Michael Snyder.
Starting point is 01:36:01 How pathetic. The danger of drinking unpasteurized raw milk containing bird flu viruses. This new study says mice that were fed milk from H5N1 infected cows became very ill, they say. Well, did they or did they just test positive with your PCR thing? The study cannot prove that what happened to the mice would definitely happen to people who drink raw milk that contains the dangerous viruses, not a dangerous virus. And then Michael Snyder pushes his book. In my book, I've got an entire chapter entitled Pestilence, because I'm entirely convinced that the global outbreaks of disease will be one of the major themes of the next several years. You what the pandemic is michael i said this four years ago and i'm saying
Starting point is 01:36:48 it again now the pandemic is government the science is psychological and behavioral the enemy is not china it's our government that's running a bio warfare on us, running medical martial law on us. They're the ones who are doing it. And the bio warfare is the jab. It's not anything from a lab. Jab is from the lab. The bird flu has already resulted in the deaths of hundreds of millions of birds over the globe, michael yeah most of them killed by government because there was one bird that failed the pcr lie detector it's not a lie detector it's a live propagator
Starting point is 01:37:36 we got polygraphs and we got pcrs one is a lie detector the other is a live propagator many scientists believe that's just a matter of time before there is a bird flu pandemic among humans. And that's what Michael Snyder and Zero Hedge are there to sell you. He says, I don't know if that's true or not, but the fact is that someone just dropped dead. This is the third time that Michael Snyder repeated that lie. Headline, first paragraph, the last paragraph,
Starting point is 01:38:07 telling us someone dropped dead. And putting out unverified, illogical, WHO propaganda lies. Personally, I liked Mike when I met him. If you're going to lie about something that's going to be used to destroy our lives, it's going to be used to lock us down in medical martial law. I'm not giving you a pass, pal.
Starting point is 01:38:31 You need to take this back. You need to stop doing this crap or I'm going to keep coming after you and anybody else that does this stuff. Makes me furious. Now, let's talk about the person in New Zealand. Dr. Sam Bailey, an MD in New Zealand. From what I can gather, it seems that she had a medical practice that was there. Then she started doing reports.
Starting point is 01:38:49 She's very young and attractive. So they started having her do medical reports and things like that. She became a full-time reporter until she told the truth about the COVID so-called pandemic. Now, this is something that came out on the 17th of May. And as I mentioned before, they sent out an invitation to a Christine Massey that they thought was somebody that was part of the Canadian public health bureaucracy. And she accepted the invitation, even though she was not that Christine Massey. And she'll explain to you and give you some clips about what happened and the avian flu storyline is simmering away once again
Starting point is 01:39:33 we expose the pseudoscience behind the so-called highly pathogenic H5N1 in our book Virus Mania and you can also watch my video Taking Away Your Chickens for another update on this rehashed fear propaganda campaign. While the mass culling of birds is the usual quote response to many of these crusades they are now expanding the operation and this month we see headlines such as this one featured by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Canada expanding surveillance, testing milk for H5N1 avian flu amid US dairy cattle outbreak.
Starting point is 01:40:12 By a stroke of luck, our friend Christine Massey was just granted access to an online meeting headed by Theresa Tam, the Chief Public Health Officer of Canada. Stand by for some exclusive footage headed by Theresa Tam, the Chief Public Health Officer of Canada. Stand by for some exclusive footage where we'll witness the bureaucrats fumbling with the virological nonsense as they unknowingly help set up what could possibly be the next fake pandemic. But at this point, the bottom line is we're viewing milk sampling as the equivalent to wastewater sampling, frankly,
Starting point is 01:40:43 as a way to do large-scale population testing. We are here from the government and we're here to help you. Could a reboot of avian flu be the next big production? It appears to be the new plotline in their war against raw milk and associated products. The vast majority of commercial milk and cheese is not very good for human consumption. But one of the major reasons for that is pasteurisation. You can read my article, Why I Switched to Raw Milk for Good, or watch the video version for further information about milk. But that is one of the side issues for this potential H5N1 pandemic campaign.
Starting point is 01:41:20 And now we go to our feature presentation. On the 9th of May, Theresa Tam, the Chief Public Health Officer of Canada, headed an online roundtable meeting concerning so-called highly pathogenic avian influenza A, aka H5N1. Some of the other attendees included representatives from the Public Health Agency of Canada, the National Collaborating Centre for Infectious Diseases and the British Columbia Centre for Disease Control. A surprise invitation to the meeting was extended to our friend and private researcher, Christine Massey, who graciously accepted. Perhaps they meant to invite a different Christine Massey. But as Steve Falconer would say, that's none of my business. One thing that was apparent during this meeting is that this group, including Theresa Tam, appear to earnestly believe that the virological pseudoscience is all legitimate and do not question any of it. They are certainly not the conductors of the scam, but simply useful puppets for the corporate media
Starting point is 01:42:32 and narrative controllers above them. Some of them even seem quite excited that they might be involved in the first quote case. I'll introduce some of the key parts of this private meeting, some things they want you to know and some things they don't want you to know. Theresa Tam, Chief Public Health Officer of Canada, introduces the meeting in hopes that some lessons were learned from the recently staged COVID-19 event. She sets the mood with the catchphrase, enhanced surveillance. But the purpose of the call is really to bring together the four
Starting point is 01:43:06 public health agencies you know the public health agency and the three provincial ones at the start of what we think might be an interesting moment in the hpai trajectory the the avian influenza H5N1, really taking into account the lessons learned about enhanced surveillance, epidemiologic studies and scientific endeavours. Sarah Vibeck, Chief Science Officer for the Public Health Agency of Canada, outlines the plan to expand the enhanced poultry surveillance in Canada and introduces the UK Health Security Agency's asymptomatic human surveillance pilot. We had an overview from CFIA of the enhanced poultry surveillance as well as some of their plans related to cattle and milk and Don will speak to that.
Starting point is 01:44:07 And we also had a presentation from the UK Health Security Agency around their asymptomatic human surveillance pilot which has been ongoing for a number of months and their lead investigator presented. We do intend on upping the tempo of those meetings. Don, I would invite you to chime an assay for H5N1 to get everything ready in the event that some testing comes back positive. Good morning, colleagues. For those who don't know me, Don Shepherd. I'm the Vice President for the Infectious Diseases
Starting point is 01:44:58 and Vaccination Programs branch at the agency. And the big questions are how far to go and in what populations and then with what techniques and whether this is a molecular based program molecular plus zero surveillance in the zero surveillance space there's lots of technical questions about is there an assay what kind of an assay how robust is it how do you validate an assay in the absence of serum from humans with h5n1 disease which as we know, we don't have a large number of, and we have no access to that serum from people with bovine exposures, at least at this point. So a lot to be worked out in that space and a lot of conversations and work going
Starting point is 01:45:35 on to develop that. As a minimum, we feel protocol development, having everything ready in the event that some testing comes back positive would be the minimum that we would like to see. And implementation would be a question that would be addressed once we have some of the information from the testing I'll talk to you about in a second. This means that the gold rush might be found by tapping into the asymptomatic cow reservoir. And in fact, in the US, they've had very little testing of non-lactating dairy. What they have done is all negative, including ground beef surveys, but no one has gotten great, great surveys. Of course, you all know that this has been largely found in mammary epithelial cells, and so there is actually a reason why it might be less prevalent
Starting point is 01:46:19 in beef cattle. The other thing is they've opened an asymptomatic cow testing pathway and a testing at slaughter pathway to start getting at that asymptomatic cow reservoir. Those weapons of mass destruction got to be somewhere. The big milk testing program is being rolled out. Then there's actual sampling of commercial milk samples and the current experimental plan is 300 samples representative across the country that will all be tested at centralised laboratories at CFIA. Where have we seen this before? A new testing programme begins and the quote pandemic follows. Don Sheppard mixes up which milk is safe and wants to spook non-pasteurised milk consumers
Starting point is 01:47:02 through government quote messaging. Milk is still safe if it's pasteurised but doubling down on the non-pasteurised milk messaging which obviously is something we've been doing already. Don talked to some virology experts who hoodwinked him into believing that detected sequences equals viruses because they have viral sequences. So wastewater is something we've looked at. We've talked to some experts. I'll be very clear that we can do wastewater. We can detect H5N1 in wastewater.
Starting point is 01:47:34 We don't know where that H5N1 in wastewater has come from. Guillaume tells me in a very detailed conversation that the sequences that are robust enough, or they're robust enough, stable enough for us to detect out of wastewater are not variable between avian origin strains and the bovine strains. So, we would not be able to determine if this was environmental contamination from avian source, bovine source, or milk dumping as has been the case in
Starting point is 01:48:01 the US or frankly even human source based on the sequences that we would be obtaining. Don has also picked up bad habits from the virologists with their misuse of the word isolate. We need to remind them that metagenomics does not require the isolation of anything. And watching carefully, because if there's sufficient sequence divergence over time between these various isolates, may not be, that may evolve to a place where we could actually distinguish them. Don points out an issue for the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. Other lab capacity issues, there's some work going on about strain sharing and certification. There's some challenges there of course because this is a CFIA
Starting point is 01:48:42 led issue. It's a strain that is of agricultural origin. It is their certification process. We know that the CFIA have got a much bigger issue in the form of no scientific proof of any quote virus shown to affect livestock in Canada. Unfortunately, on this theme, the COVID lab leak narrative continues to fool many in the so-called health freedom community. Ron Fouchier's alleged H5N1 experiments have been popping up again, but you can watch my 2021 video, Gain of Function Gaslighting, where we expose the failure to demonstrate any pathogen, let alone one that exhibited gain of function. Bonnie Henry, British Columbia Provincial Health Officer, reminiscent of
Starting point is 01:49:26 Jacinda Ardern's brutal Be Kind campaign in New Zealand during the COVID-19 era. Be strong, but be kind. Bonnie Henry purportedly coined the phrase, Be kind, be calm, be safe, which was embraced by the
Starting point is 01:49:41 Canadian government. Yeah, these are the cops running over people in Canada, running over them with which was embraced by the Canadian government. Yeah, these are the cops running over people in Canada, running over them with their horses, trampling people in wheelchairs with their horses. Be kind. They're so kind, aren't they? So calm and kind.
Starting point is 01:50:03 Despite the kind, calm, and safe feint, Bonnie reveals that people still refuse to give us the information. Give us the information. My biggest concern is the communications, like Michelle was talking about, and the notification from CFIA so that we can actually have contact with the farm families and workers. That has been an ongoing issue where they've refused to give us the the information and it's very challenging and trying to connect with the farm workers for the um for the poultry farm the common man. They created common core to dumb down our children. They created common past to track and control us.
Starting point is 01:50:57 Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing. And the communist future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find at thedavidknightshow.com.
Starting point is 01:51:37 Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing. If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers. wasn't that interesting i think that's very interesting port dr sam bailey out of new zealand of course she has paid a price for telling people the truth she got fired as well uh i thought it was interesting she uses i'm from the government i'm here to help you i mean i thought it was interesting. I'm from the government. I'm here to help you. I thought it was, I mean, I can understand that maybe in New Zealand, they hadn't heard the, you know, Ronald Reagan making that famous, you know, what is it, the nine words or something that strike fear in people's hearts. I'm from the government. I'm here to help you. We had somebody in the Department of Education old enough to remember that,
Starting point is 01:52:47 actually used that recently. But, of course, you know, they're in New Zealand, so maybe they did not know that. But that is the way that they try to present themselves to you, the gesundheit führers. As Eric Peters of Eric Peters Autos always pointed out. And that's literally why they are the good health dictators, the gesundheit führers, right?
Starting point is 01:53:07 And then, of course, you heard them say over and over again, oh, we've learned a lot of lessons about enhanced surveillance, enhanced surveillance of animals, enhanced surveillance of chickens, enhanced surveillance of humans and human chickens who are cowering in fear based on these hyped up articles and junk science and lies and propaganda from these people. We're going to double down on the non-pasteurized milk, that guy said, in Canada, which we said we've already been doing. We've already been coming after non-pasteurized milk. And so we're going to double down on that even more and then i thought it was very interesting when he said that even according to their standards which you know perhaps they
Starting point is 01:53:49 believe them oh we can find this stuff using a pcr uh but even with that he said we can't distinguish between cow and bird flu or you know whether the whether this uh the thing that we're looking for did that come from a cow or bird? Well, we don't know if we find it in the water, right? Where it came from. They also don't know if it comes from a dead bird that fell into the water, do they? But that's, of course, not going to be the issue.
Starting point is 01:54:15 And you notice that he was kind of concerned about that. It was a problem because they want to focus on cattle. You notice that? The problem with the water test is that we can't definitively say that it came from the cattle because they want to get the cattle they want to get the small farms they want to shut down the small farms that do raw milk and all the rest of the stuff but they want to shut down the cattle that's the point and that's why he was saying well you know the problem with is with the water and with this excuse that we've got the PCR PR campaign. We can't definitively tell people that this is something that we found that came from a cow.
Starting point is 01:54:54 And we got to get the cows. And then finally. You know, the woman there, she says, it's a real problem. You know, we're trying to get the information. These farmers don't want to give it to us because they know what you're doing. They know that you're just snooping around. Oh, I'm from the government. I'm here to help you because you want to shut them down.
Starting point is 01:55:13 Oh, well, if I run this stuff through a PCR process and I find one cow that is not sick, and I'm going to kill all your cattle uh cattle i'm gonna take out the entire herd i'm gonna destroy your farm on the basis of a pcr abuse that's why they won't give it to like you know what do you want information you won't get it by hook or by crook we will as uh can't as the the prisoner would say. And of course, we know from a year ago, and I thought it was good that the expose news went back a year ago. It was actually a year and a half, January 2023,
Starting point is 01:55:55 when Bill Gates said, you can either fix cows to stop their emissions, or you can make beef without the cow. Or he can make beef without the cow, he can make beef without the cow he says right see it's always that's what the target is let's understand that they'll use anything and everything oh we got to kill all the cattle in the netherlands because nitrogen now or because of methane or you know we just got to do it because um whatever they come up with any number of mcguffins to kill the cattle how about this instead and they love to give us two choices
Starting point is 01:56:35 right you can do either this or this it's like well no those aren't my only two choices other than fixing the cows quote-unquote fixing the cows to stop their emissions. He knows more than God. He thinks he is God. He's got so much money that people treat him as if he was God. But he says your two choices are you can either fix the cows or you can make beef without the cows. No, we got another option. We can live our lives without your dictates, Bill Gates. And people of your ilk, these billionaires.
Starting point is 01:57:08 You know, when Jesus said the love of money is the root of all evil, that applies to society in general, doesn't it? I mean, we have people who will peddle lies and fear and pandemic stuff. They will sell you vaccines that'll kill you because they love money they'll listen to gates and they'll put him in a position to control us because they love money and gates will do all this stuff because he loves money love of money the root of all evil who would have thought jesus understood right uh last year self-appointed globalist technocrat bill gates said that six percent of global emissions are from cows so you either fix them or we'll get rid of them we'll have beef without them
Starting point is 01:57:59 to reduce emissions he said the richer, the only solution for the richer nations is to get the synthetic protein alternatives. Why? Well, because he wants the money from the richer nations, right? So you got more money? Okay, I'm going to force you. I'm going to ban the other stuff that's cheap, and I'm going to force you to buy my artificially expensive product, whether you're talking about meat or you're talking about electric vehicles or whatever. Now, if you are, he says, but for Africa and other poor countries, is that racist? He's just going to take their stuff away.
Starting point is 01:58:37 We'll have to use animal genetics, he said. No, what he's going to do is he's just going to take it away from them. If he can't make money off of them, he'll just steal their food, let them starve. That's what he's talking about. It's just like Obama going to Africa. It's like, well, you know, y'all can't have air conditioning here in Africa. A planet would burn down. Really?
Starting point is 01:58:56 I guess y'all can't have a beef here in Africa. A planet will burn down, but you know, we can ban affordable meat in America, and we can have these people pay through the nose for the tumor meat that we're going to make. So this is what Gates and his people want to do. This goes back to January 2023. And what he said at the time, he said,
Starting point is 01:59:21 the world will not be able to avoid overshooting the goal established in the 2015 Paris Climate Accord to limit global warming unless we do this. And notice it always goes back, this Paris Climate Accord. That was very important. Just like what they wanted to do with the WHO Accord. And yet Trump left it there for the entire four years he didn't do anything to the paris climate accord so um the world economic forum davos is also calling for governments now to uh push the fake meat and to take the other stuff away from us because that's what this bird flu
Starting point is 02:00:05 thing is about you know the two alternatives that you'll have is you will get meat that has been injected or you'll get the lab meat one way or the other and who knows what they're going to be putting in the lab meat the unelected globalist at the world economic forum call on governments to promote fake meat and other alternative proteins in a coordinated effort to drive, quote, consumer behavior change. This is all just a psychological test. It's an IQ test.
Starting point is 02:00:37 It's a psychological test. Are you going to let them railroad you into this? Are you going to stand up and fight this? This is where our fight is, folks. Our fight's not on the point du Hoc or whatever in France. It's not on the, we don't have to scale the 90-foot thing at this point in time. Our fight is against the lies and the propaganda. That's where the war is.
Starting point is 02:01:03 That's where the war is. If they can win that propaganda war, they'll steal everything from us. They will enslave us. Creating a vibrant food innovation ecosystem. How Israel is advancing alternative proteins across sectors. Israel is always in there. You know, whether it's, put us at the front of the line,
Starting point is 02:01:23 I'll use all my people as lab rats and I'll report to you, Pfizer, everything that happens to them. They're always there. You got some pretty evil people in charge of the government of Israel, just as we do here in America. They claim the push forward towards alternative proteins requires a global effort of governments and corporations working together to manipulate the people. This is called fascism.
Starting point is 02:01:54 Government and corporations working together. Fascism, cronyism, corruption. It is vile. To manipulate us. Manipulate us for their power and for their money and so jeffrey tucker has a good article uh the trouble with testing as he said uh deborah burks is at it again urging mass testing for the detection of bird flu we're not testing to really see how many people have been exposed and got asymptomatically infected.
Starting point is 02:02:26 Asymptomatically. Every cow, weekly. You can do pooled PCR. We have the technology. The great thing about America is we're incredibly innovative. And we have the ability to have these breakthroughs. What a wicked person she is. We're going to be pool testing every dairy worker.
Starting point is 02:02:41 I do believe that there's undetected cases in humans because we're once again only tracking people with symptoms. When we did that with COVID, the virus... Because they're the only ones who are sick, lady. ...East undetected because it took a long time to get to the vulnerable individuals. But in the meantime, thousands, hundreds of thousands of people were infected with asymptomatic or mild disease and never came to medical attention. If it's asymptomatic or mild, we don't need to worry about it. But she's going to use, she's going to lock you down because, well, there's cooties that you don't even know about out there.
Starting point is 02:03:16 You may not be sick, but hey, you are a threat to us all, right? And so Jeffrey Tucker says, the role of testing is relatively uncontroversial. Well, not with me. And he says, but it probably should be. I would say that it is primarily the controversy. And he does make the case further on this article that that is exactly the case. All of this stuff is predicated on the pcr pr campaigns maybe that's what it
Starting point is 02:03:47 stands for um the pcr public campaign anyway uh if you are scared of a disease he said um well anyway he says early in the covid crisis though i was completely against the lockdowns i was an enthusiast for testing simply because I thought doing so would overcome the epistemic void that was driving public panic. If you are scared of a disease and you have no means to discover whether or not you have it, you know how you know if you've got a disease, Jeffrey,
Starting point is 02:04:20 you got symptoms, you got symptoms. That's the way we used to always do it you know you go to the doctor or even if you went to some kind of a computer diagnostic thing what are the person's symptoms now we don't do that now we use the pcr procedure and the developer of the pcr procedure says you can't use this to diagnose illness and disease. You can't. Because if you magnify it too much, which they have focused on magnifying it to absurdity
Starting point is 02:04:55 and beyond, to quote Buzz Lightyear. And that's what they have done. They've magnified it to absurdity and beyond. To find anything and everything. Now, the way you diagnose diseases is you look at the symptoms. Look at the symptoms. And if it's asymptomatic, you ain't got it. So he said, if you're scared of disease and you have no means to discover whether or not you have it,
Starting point is 02:05:22 what is your choice but to hop around in a frenzy and to comply with every edict? Well, that was my thinking in any case. He said, but we all live and learn. And so fine, I understand. That's good. You know, good for him. He admits that he made a mistake. We all make mistakes.
Starting point is 02:05:38 And it's important that we say, you know, I said this, but it's wrong. He's not running from it. He's owning the mistake that's what so many people will not do so he says so what's left of the uh out of the testing issue is a great question of why would we do it is it track trace and isolate that has been proven to be impossible and as long known to be impossible logically if your theory is that people are getting this from one person coming in contact with another if that's your germ theory or your pathogen theory well if it's fast spreading fast mutating then of course that's not going to
Starting point is 02:06:17 work so what they're telling you is logically inconsistent. Whether or not you believe in their virus theory or not. Whether or not you believe in their PCR tests or not. What they're telling you is completely illogical and inconsistent. The iTunes and Google app stores had contract tracing programs that you could download. That way, if you came close to somebody who had tested positive, you would be alerted. The snitch apps, remember remember those it worked like a digital leper's bell in fact even now the airlines are still doing covid contact tracing for flying in and out of the country did you know that another reason not to fly another possible
Starting point is 02:06:58 rationale is likely the one in the mind of burks did she have a mind she was formed in the aids era where the goal was zero infections she was always a proponent of zero covid remember zero covid do you remember the horrors in china the people locked in the high rises and they put the recordings out there at night you could hear the people moaning in shanghai and other places you know how they destroyed those places they got people young people after that they said you know i had a really high paying job here in the city i'm going back to the rural countryside where we just grow our own food and i don't have anything because i'm not going to go through this again. The zero COVID, that was the Chinese plan. And that was what Birx was pushing.
Starting point is 02:07:51 But when we talk about the fact that she was formed in the AIDS era, it's a E-R-R-O-R, she was formed by the money that was given her to run an AIDS organization by the Gates Foundation, as I pointed out yesterday. Now, that's where she got her big leg up on everything, was in the AIDS issue, and it was money from Gates to push that Fauci fraud of AIDS.
Starting point is 02:08:19 And remember, AIDS was based, the first one of these things, first disease that was based on PCR lies. He said, think about the movie Contagion, 2011, in this way. It was a killer virus that you could get and get worse and then die, all rather quickly. In the movie, the job of the health authorities was always to find the infected and to notify everyone with whom they had had contact. By the way, he says, this didn't even work in the film. Again, he said, the question beckons, why are we doing all of this? If you're going to embark on an elaborate invasive scheme to find and isolate every instance of a pathogen, it's a good idea to know precisely what you're trying to precisely
Starting point is 02:09:04 achieve with this effort no interviewer has been smart enough to ask this fundamental question of burke's what are you trying to accomplish here since this can't possibly work the way that you're explaining the spread of the disease why are you doing this problem is you know i don't think they're not smart enough to ask that question i think they know the answer i think they know this is a scam they've got to know it's a scam and i think they just you know to them it would be a rhetorical question they know why she's doing it she's doing it because she wants to lock us down for power and money. That's why all of these things are being done.
Starting point is 02:09:48 So in a sense, they don't ask the question because they already know the answer. And you know the answer. I know the answer. Jeffrey Tucker knows the answer. These people who have access to her know the answer. You think she'd come on my show? Could I ask her that question?
Starting point is 02:10:02 Hey, Dr. Scarf, we'd like to interview you. Birx does not want to limit testing to people either. She wants cows and chickens tested too. Okay. So he takes us out to its logical extension. He says, so there's no particular reason to limit it just to cows and chickens and humans. It can include every member of the animal kingdom, every four-legged creature, every fish, every fowl. And, of course, the expense would be very enormous and unthinkable.
Starting point is 02:10:33 And, by the way, it's not just limited to the four-legged creatures or the fish and the fowl. It's also, it'd be the bugs. Wait a minute, those bugs that you want me to eat, have they been tested for bird flu i really wouldn't want to get bird flu from a bug that's a lose-lose situation isn't it but anyway he says this would drive the cost of meat production if you want to check all the chickens and cows and you find one case of an animal that's not sick but fails your
Starting point is 02:11:03 pcr procedure you kill all the animals on the farm it's going to drive the cost of food sky high bingo that's the purpose of it we don't even have to ask burks we know what the purpose is don't we he says given the inevitable slaughters it would be mandated we know what the purpose of this all is this is made worse as we learned last time, by PCR tests. It can be set at any cycle rate to discover the mere presence of a virus or genetic sequence in just about anything. The last time, this led to unwarranted assumptions of contagiousness. Up to 90% in 2020 was unwarranted.
Starting point is 02:11:43 As reported by the new york times sometimes the new york times will tell you the truth more so than zero hedge which zero hedge seems to have taken the position that we need to be zero bird flu right and unless we're zero bird flu everywhere and we got to test everybody all the time make sure that we're still zero are we still zero bird flu if not you know panic lock everything down i think zero hedge needs to change their name to zero bird flu because that's what they're pushing they're pushing the same chinese insanity he says because there is there was and is so much confusion about this piece let's just quote it directly from the New York Times. Here's what they said.
Starting point is 02:12:27 This number of amplification cycles needed to find the virus, called the cycle threshold, is never included in the results sent to doctors and to patients, although it could tell them how infectious the patients are. Why don't they report that? The same reason that they hide the data about climate change, the same reason that they hide all of this data, the data about vaccine injuries and vaccine deaths and all the rest of this stuff,
Starting point is 02:12:57 because they're lying to us. They will never mention the number of amplification cycles because they didn't even tell the doctor and the patient how much they're amplifying it. When they talk about 40 cycles, that's 2 to the 40th powers, 1.1 trillion times. It was precisely the PCR test that created this wild confusion between an exposure, an infection, and an actual case.
Starting point is 02:13:26 He said the word case in the past has been reserved for somebody who was actually sick and who needed medical intervention. But all of this fear and everything that they've done with the so-called pandemic is based on conflating exposure to infection to cases. If they magnify this stuff by over a trillion times if you're exposed to whatever it is that they're trying to find it may not make you sick and if it doesn't make you sick it's because you don't have sufficient quantity of it to be sick which means that you can't spread it which means that you if you're exposed to it but you don't have an infection and then even if you have an infection uh you haven't gotten sick or died he said once the
Starting point is 02:14:14 disease panic is created what's left to do about it remains entirely within the realm of the public health authority see this is why i have a problem with people like zero hedge and michael snyder and the epic times and info wars because what they are doing is they are turning us over to the public health authorities as far as i'm concerned they're no different than the people who lied to the jews and say get on the train uh we're taking you uh taking you for a vacation whatever take them to a prison camp, right? It'll be fine. Just get on the train. That's what these quizlings are doing to us.
Starting point is 02:14:53 Turning us over to the public health authorities. Already last week, says Jeffrey Tucker, the authorities ordered 4 million chickens to be slaughtered. Already more than 90 million birds have been killed in the last two years. And they're coming for the cattle. Put them in the cattle cars and take them to exterminate them, or they won't even bother to put them in the cattle cars. So this is where we are.
Starting point is 02:15:19 This is why this stuff matters. Well, we're going to take a quick break, and we're going to come back and we're going to talk a little bit about what's going on with Steve Bannon, because what's important about Steve Bannon is not the particulars of his case. What is important about Steve Bannon is the idea of immunity and pardons and blanket immunity and that type of thing. That's what we're going to talk about when we come back. We'll be right back.

Well, it's kind of interesting to hear all the different places that have been taken down with the beeps there. And there's a couple more that we need to add in there.
Starting point is 02:18:20 Of course, we have added a couple of new outlets, so we really do need to redo that commercial. But I want to thank Unrumumble North American House Hippo. Thank you for the tip. He writes, if we can just get past the killer Terminator robots, it'll be clear sailing for the next thousand years. Then we'll have to deal with the alcoholic, incompetent Futurama robots. Marvin, the paranoid android. Rumble, YJ72, thank you for the tip it says that's why they want to continue with the virus is real bs keep the fear alive if more people find that it is a lie it will be hard to continue the game that's it yeah this is a
Starting point is 02:19:00 you know this is uh are you going to say two plus two equals five? Are you going to say people are dropping dead from bird flu? That's what it's about. You know, live by that lie. And you know, there's a lot of pressure and it's in a different way. You know, when, when Solzhenitsyn said that, he said, well, I understand, you know, why people are doing this because the government owned everything, right? That's what they want to get us into. They owned everything.
Starting point is 02:19:29 So if you oppose the government, the way they canceled you in Stalinist Russia was to just kick you out on the street, no job, no home, no eating, nothing. They just kick you out on the street.
Starting point is 02:19:41 And of course it's a more subtle thing right now right people look at this and it's like well i want to i want to promote my book or my website or whatever i want to get published on zero hedge because it's got a lot of people reading stuff there so what is it that they want to hear oh okay i can tailor it to what they want to hear what is it that the maga people want to hear i can tailor it for that as well and so in a sense it's the same only different right history doesn't repeat but it rhymes again it's like will you sell out for money that's what it comes down to what is your price years and years ago we played scruples and um we had time to play games and uh it was pretty obvious to us as we were playing this they kept asking essentially the same questions over and over again and changing the price and so they were just haggling over the price that's what it was with these different
Starting point is 02:20:41 scruple questions and that's really what's going on in your life as well, right? There's these temptations that are there and they just keep changing the price. Will you sell out for this much? Well, how about this? How about that? And then on Rockfin, Dougalug,
Starting point is 02:21:00 thank you very much. He says, thank you, David and crew. I wish I could afford more this week. Well, I appreciate that. Thank you. I appreciate that. And on Rockfin, Michelle Obaman, thank you very much he says thank you david and crew i wish i could afford more this week well i appreciate that thank you i appreciate that and on rockfin michelle obama thank you very much as well on rockfin well i said we're going to talk about bannon so let's talk about this he has been ordered to report to prison on july the first now um i will say that yes, we have all kinds of lawfare going on, all kinds of, you know, people, innocent people being locked up for one thing after the other. You know, whether they're peaceful protesters on January the 6th or whether they were peacefully trying to stop people from ripping their babies to pieces, pregnant women. All these people are being sent to jail for all kinds of things. I think Steve Bannon's situation here is 100% his fault. I have no more sympathy for Steve Bannon
Starting point is 02:21:53 than I do Hunter Biden. It was absolutely, yes, they're not sending Hunter Biden to jail for these same things. So there is a political dimension to it there's not equal justice uh this is essentially because he refused to show up when congress said we want to talk to you and issued him a subpoena he thumbed his nose at him and said i'm not coming tough guy i'm not coming which is really stupid uh this was uh something being played by you know peter navararro and Bannon and other people. I'm executive privilege. And, of course, he had been out of the Trump administration for four years or something. He had no association with it.
Starting point is 02:22:34 And I said at the time, I said, it's really stupid, all these people. And Alex got a subpoena to go before him. I said, if Alex is smart, he'll go and just take the Fifth Amendment over and over again. And he did that. He went, I don't know how many times, 100 times, 200 times or something. Every question they ask you, I refuse to answer on the grounds that it may accommodate me. Next question. And you just don't answer anything.
Starting point is 02:22:58 And then they have nothing that they can do about it. I mean, you use the Fifth Amendment, there's nothing they can do about that. And you show up, there's nothing they can do about it. You look at Hunter Biden, who did the same thing as Steve Bannon, except even more so, more contempt, right? They ordered him to come and testify. And what Hunter Biden did was to hold a press conference with a Capitol building in the background over his shoulder. And he said there, I'm not going in, you know, and he's not been, what he is being tried for right now is not for contempt of Congress. But he exercised greater contempt than Steve Bannon did. But again, Steve Bannon didn't have to go to jail for this
Starting point is 02:23:44 because he could have just gone and then taken the fifth every time that they asked him a question so there is a political dimension to it there is unequal access there is a dimension of lawfare but there's also an issue of stupidity involved here and so they're going to play it tough with him they're going to even though he has appealed this once and lost he wants to continue to appeal it but they're not going to play it tough with him. They're going to, even though he has appealed this once and lost, he wants to continue to appeal it, but they're not going to let him continue to, um, uh, not be in prison, uh, pending the appeal. So he has now been ordered to jail, uh, July 1st, he will be going to jail.
Starting point is 02:24:20 Now there are the interesting thing about Steve Bannon besides the fact that there's a double standard between him and Hunter Biden for doing the same thing, exactly the same thing. And again, it was he had two counts of contempt defying the committee's subpoena. He said he didn't believe the original basis for his stay of the imposition of Bannon's sentence existed any longer after the appeals court upheld his conviction. He can still appeal it, but he has to go to prison in the meantime, said the judge. And this is a judge that was appointed by Trump. Now, he still has something else coming up as well. Because even though Trump pardoned him as he was leaving, there are state charges that have been filed in New York for fraud.
Starting point is 02:25:16 And the pardon that he got from Trump was for federal charges. And it does not cover state charges. Now, I don't know. Nobody has mentioned anything about it. was for federal charges and it does not char cover state charges now i don't know nobody has mentioned anything about it i mean if i was him i would say something about double jeopardy or something like that i don't know if that applies there but um those charges are about we build the wall and its fundraising campaign now we build the wall was an embarrassment to Trump because he wasn't building the wall. They put together a private organization to raise the funds. And so anybody that says, Steve Bannon especially,
Starting point is 02:25:55 if he tells you, oh yeah, Trump built the wall, we need to have Trump in because he's going to fix the border. Well, you obviously didn't believe that because you were going to build the wall with private donations, right? But Bannon will still have to go back and face these state charges. In September of 2022, he was charged in connection with money laundering allegations that stemmed from a GoFundMe campaign to privately build the wall along the U.S.-Mexico border because Trump wasn't doing it. He was previously charged in an almost identical federal investigation before being pardoned by trump hours before trump left
Starting point is 02:26:31 office in january 2021 manhattan prosecutors however have revived the investigation in september of 2022 with state-level charges against bannon, which are not covered by the presidential pardons. And unlike the January the 6thers, Bannon has not spent any time in jail as he appeals all this stuff. Now, there are a couple of other people that were doing this project with him. Brian Cofology, U.S. Air Force veteran who lost both legs in his right hand,
Starting point is 02:27:04 was the founder of the Build the Wall organization. He got four years in jail, and he's in jail. He got no pardon from Trump. Andrew Battilotto, a co-defendant, pleaded guilty, got three years. Third defendant, Timothy Shea, found guilty, sentenced to 63 months in prison and three years of supervised release. All three of these men were found to have devised a scheme to move donations to We Build the Wall campaign through entities and through bank accounts that they personally owned.
Starting point is 02:27:34 So they're skimming money out of it personally. Trump did not pardon them, but he did pardon Bannon. Bannon was alleged to have taken a million dollars for himself. No word as to where that money is now. Overall, they got $25 million. And again, they were, you know, pleaded guilty to siphoning money and to their personal accounts allegations that Bannon got over a million dollars. Now, when Bannon was here's the, I think the interesting part of this, when
Starting point is 02:28:06 Bannon was pardoned by Trump, he was only indicted, he had not had a trial. He had not been found guilty. You don't have to wait until somebody has been found guilty before you pardon them. And, uh, we have a couple of big examples throughout history. One of the most recent example was when Gerald Ford, when Nixon resigned, it was apparent that he was going to be impeached, and he resigned. It looked like the Democrats were still going to come after him. So when Gerald Ford took his place, Gerald Ford issued him a pardon. Nixon had not been indicted. He had not been found guilty.
Starting point is 02:28:54 So the pardon that Gerald Ford gave him was for anything and everything that Nixon had done as president. It was a blanket pardon for anything before they even indict him for anything. See what a president can do if they want to. You see, a president could have done that. President Trump could have done that for the people that he suckered into January the 6th, that he fleeced for donations on January the 6th and then abandoned them. And then another time in history where this happened, President Andrew Johnson, who had taken office as Lincoln was shot. He was Lincoln's vice president.
Starting point is 02:29:31 Andrew Johnson, by the way, was born around this area where we are. One of the worst things about this area, I guess. Otherwise, I like this area except that Andrew Johnson is from here. Anyway, Andrew Johnson, there's a lot of places named after him. It's odious. Anyway, it could be worse. It could be Woodrow Wilson or something, I guess. Andrew Johnson issued a pardon, blanket pardon, for all Confederate soldiers
Starting point is 02:30:03 for being involved in an insurrection is what they called it now the confederate soldiers didn't see it as an insurrection they saw it as a an insurrection by lincoln against the rebellion by lincoln against the constitution that's how they saw it but nevertheless from the the perspective of the victors, what the Confederate soldiers had been involved in was an insurrection. And he pardoned all of them. You know, that Insurrection Act that they got Joe Biggs and a bunch of other people locked up for?
Starting point is 02:30:39 That was a Civil War thing. But they never charged anybody. And one of the reasons for that was because andrew johnson had preemptively pardoned everybody trump could have done that could have said anybody that has anything to do with january the 6th i'm pardoning them right now why didn't he do that trump likes to say they're coming after me because I'm between them and you, and nothing could be further from the truth. It is exactly the opposite. Trump didn't pardon these people because it would have put him in jeopardy.
Starting point is 02:31:16 Those people put themselves between Trump and Biden, and they got trampled in the Game of Thrones. And the guy that they showed up to be on his side, to be pawns for him, got trampled in this game of 4D chess. It's just the opposite. But I think it's important when we look at Bannon, we can understand that. Yes.
Starting point is 02:31:46 Pardons are a thing. Blanket pardons are a thing. And there's history that you can pardon an individual or a whole group of people in advance of them, even being charged with a crime. When you think that there's crimes coming as a president, they can pardon them. Uh, Trump threw these people under the bus because he cares about nothing. He's a deeply wounded narcissist and capable of acting,
Starting point is 02:32:11 except in his own perceived self-interest or out of revenge. And so then back to the Biden story, Hunter Biden. I thought it was interesting. This headline got my attention. His former wife or girlfriend, Haley Biden. I don't really follow this so proper that closely. So I'm sorry that they were hanging out together. She said that Hunter enjoyed crack rocks, the size of ping pong balls. Now, I didn't have time to look this up, but I wonder how big crack rocks usually are.
Starting point is 02:32:49 Travis is shaking his head. He doesn't know either. I'm glad you don't know. How big maybe somebody in the audience knows. You don't have to admit it, though, that you know how big the crack rocks are. I do. I have to phone a a friend but i don't know any friends who would know this answer either since we're doing this uh the size of
Starting point is 02:33:13 ping pong balls she said and she said he was smoking them every 20 minutes wow uh so he was doing a lot and but when i look at crack uh what i think of is not the size of ping pong balls or you know the size of the rocks uh or um how often somebody would do it to keep a constant state of intoxication uh when i look at crack i I think CIA, I think Gary Webb, I think dark alliances, Gary Webb exposed. And if we were freeway, Ricky Ross was the source of it. He was the one who they, the CIA picked freeway, Ricky Ross to, uh, distribute. The crack cocaine into the black community in LA and other places. I bet that was where it kind of got its start because they were running this
Starting point is 02:34:09 dark Alliance to sell drugs, this really strong drug to fund their secret war. Those are the people that actually run our government, the CIA. Those are the people actually killed Garyary webb uh when he exposed it anyway uh hallie who is um um i think ex-wife um smoked crack with hunter she was the one who threw his gun in the dumpster in 2018 the incident was allegedly covered up by the secret service why couldn't they do that see it's just not fair for Trump.
Starting point is 02:34:45 I mean, if they could cover up Hunter's crack thing and they could cover up Hunter's illegally buying a gun and all this other kind of stuff, um, couldn't the secret service have helped Trump with those documents and just can't get a friend here, I guess, how he found hunter's gun in his car took the gun the pouch the speed loader and the ammunition in a gift bag and threw it in a dumpster behind a wilmington grocery store said prosecutors i didn't know where he was she said and i'd been trying to reach him for weeks she said the gun other than she found trash, clothes, drug paraphernalia, and some remnants of crack in the trunk of the car of Hunter Biden.
Starting point is 02:35:35 She said it was a terrible experience that I went through. I'm embarrassed. I'm ashamed. I regret that period of my life, she told the jury. Prosecutors said, who introduced you to crack hunter did she said she said hunter smoked crack every 20 minutes or so from 2017 to 2018 wow um and uh the time frame okay now they're calling her his ex-girlfriends i guess they were not married the time frame high during that time frame high level foreign actors
Starting point is 02:36:07 hired hunter for some of the family's most lucrative business deals reports bright part family members of the biden family and the biden business linked entities received more than 15 million dollars from individuals in uk Russia Kazakhstan Romania and China but again you know he didn't avoid taxes he evaded taxes no charges against him they come after him no charges for you know being an unlicensed representative or whatever I mean they're just going after these gun charges from what I understand for being an unlicensed representative or whatever. I mean, they're just going after these gun charges from what I understand.
Starting point is 02:36:48 Again, I don't like to get too much into these tabloid type of things here. But Lindsey Graham spoke up and he said, well, I think that people understand if there was tax charges and everything, but this gun stuff, that's just wrong. He's being targeted. Is that right, Lindsey?
Starting point is 02:37:10 So, Lindsey, please explain to us all the different laws that you think that politicians and their families don't have to be under, even though if you're looking at gun charges, of all things, nobody has pushed gun control more than Joe Biden. So now his son is being hoisted by that petard blown up by that bomb. I don't think it's too harsh for him. I think it'd be the ultimate in hypocrisy for them to not charge Hunter Biden, uh, for gun control violations.
Starting point is 02:37:40 But of course, Lindsey Graham also testified on behalf of Gold Bar Bob Menendez in his first corruption trial that he was able to get off. I mean, it just tells you about Lindsey Graham, doesn't it? This guy who wants war everywhere, thinks politicians should be able to do whatever they want. And he extends that to everybody, not just the people who are in his party, because, you know, he's not really about a party or a philosophy.
Starting point is 02:38:12 He's just about the uni party. He's just about, we're a special class. You know, we're in Washington and we're above the laws that we write for all of you. And we turn you over to the bureaucracy and they do taxation without representation and they do regulation without representation and lindsey and his uh people of his ilk both republicans and democrats won't stop any of that now trump when we talk about revenge he says he
Starting point is 02:38:39 would have every right to seek prosecutions of political foes he said when this election is over based on what they've done i would have every right to go after them he told sean hannity uh trump said that um uh what that seeking prosecutions of political opponents would be wrong but he's going to do it anyway uh it'll be wrong but he's got every right to do it if re-elected see that's the logic um trump's remarks on wednesday were slightly less overt than those that he gave in an interview with newsmax that aired on tuesday which he openly mused about his political opponents including hillary clinton he said wouldn't it have been terrible to throw the president's wife and former secretary of state? Think of it.
Starting point is 02:39:26 The former secretary of state, but the president's wife into jail, he told Newsmax. But they want to do it. So, you know, it's a terrible, terrible path that they're leading us to. And it's very possible that it's going to have to happen to them. Trump has made payback for opponents central to his campaign at one point, declaring to the crowd, I am your retribution. So again, uh, he's, they said his message has also been muddled at times. Sometimes he'll say, I'm not going to have time for retribution. So again, do you believe a thing that he has to say?
Starting point is 02:40:00 He'll say one thing one day and something else the other day, Mike Johnson, though, uh, wants retribution. He says that to get even for Trump, he said, we'll do everything that we can to target the Justice Department and other jurisdictions that investigated or charged Trump. He vowed to use the House. This is Machiavellian Mike Johnson. He vowed to use the House's chamber's oversight powers while cutting funds and the government appropriations process, taking other unspecified legislative measures as well.
Starting point is 02:40:32 Well, that's good. I'm all for cutting the funds of the Department of Justice and the FBI and all these other things. However, what about cutting the funds to the NIH? Because these people are talking
Starting point is 02:40:43 about locking up Trump, you don't care about the people who locked us down? You're going to keep funding them? We've seen how they made over $710 million. $690 of it they hid.
Starting point is 02:41:02 These are employees. Massive graft and corruption to poison, to kill, to disable Americans. And you're not going to cut any of the funding to them? Because nothing matters to you except Trump. This is the problem I've got with these GOP politicians and the problem that I've got with MAGA. They don't care about anything except Trump. And he was the one who was responsible for it all.
Starting point is 02:41:28 Everybody was under him. He could have stopped every bit of it, and he didn't. He kept it going. He promoted these people who did it. So, you know, how about cutting the funds to the NIH? How about to the HHS? How about Mike Johnson? Maybe instead of making the IRS nine times bigger than it is,
Starting point is 02:41:45 he wants to make it even bigger than Kevin McCarthy did. He wants to make it as big as Biden and Pelosi wanted to make it. They're going to grow the IRS to be nine times bigger than it is right now. He's not going to cut the funds to them. How about the CDC and the U.S. Department of Agriculture that is trying to end dairy and meat because Bill Gates wants them to or Klaus Schwab wants them to do it. And then we talk about the hypocrisy and the flip-flopping. Trump is now encouraging people to flood the election with mail-in ballots.
Starting point is 02:42:23 He likes the mail, vote-by-mail stuff. It was his precedent, as I've said all along. All these people who are saying, oh, look at this crooked election. Can you believe it? They got people mail-in. Do you believe that it was your guy who did that? He did that. He piggybacked that onto his medical martial law, which was a treason to the Constitution
Starting point is 02:42:43 to start with. And then on top of that treason, he piggybacked the vote-by-mail stuff. And you got the audacity to whine about that, and now here we are four years later, and Trump's got a new program to use vote-by-mail, and he calls it, guess what? Swamp the Vote. Unbelievable. Swamp the vote. Unbelievable. Swamp the vote. Many Americans who haven't traditionally voted with Republicans have realized that the radical
Starting point is 02:43:12 left doesn't care about their prosperity and success, just their votes, he said in a fundraising letter to them. Well, I guess we could say the same thing about the GOP. The GOP doesn't care about your prosperity, doesn't care about your success, doesn't care about your privacy, doesn't care about your liberty. And they don't care about the Constitution. Swamp the vote. So instead of drain the swamp now, it's swamp the vote.
Starting point is 02:43:43 Wine Press says, well, I only mention this because the hypocrisy and the clown show nonsense never stops. All this is being done for a selection result that has already been determined. That's precisely what it is. Well, we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back. And you can walk 500 steps, but not a single step more until the curfew activates and all the cops stand at your door using free speech to free minds it's the David Knight Show. All right, let's talk a little bit about carbon offsets. Carbon offsets are such a scam that even Children's Health Defense points it out.
Starting point is 02:44:53 Now, I like Children's Health Defense when it comes to vaccines and other things like that and GMO stuff. By the way, I had a listener who sent me a thing and said, your guest said the other day that GMO stuff is the same or cheaper uh i don't know you know i said yeah well that's interesting to know i don't know that is not her experience she said and i asked karen i said so is that true is it true is the gmo the same or cheaper and she said not my experience so i don't know this guy's in california so maybe you know your my your mileage varies depending on your location about that stuff nevertheless uh the listener who um pointed that out she said i still think that in the long term when you're looking at it uh it is going to be more cost effective because look at how expensive it is if you get sick and you don't want to be
Starting point is 02:45:42 sick and so if you could avoid the expense of the doctors and hospital bills and all that kind of stuff you could avoid the tragedy of being sick from this stuff it'd be worth it to pay a little bit more money for the food just think of it as medicine right the ancient greeks said let food be your medicine but again i like carbon i like carbon i like children's health defense on those types of issues. They're usually not good when it comes to climate, but these carbon offsets are so bad that even children's health defense calls it fraud. Got a comment before I get into this from Gard Goldsmith on Rockfin. Well, thank you for the tip, Gard.
Starting point is 02:46:21 I appreciate that. David, best to you and yours. I'm in Mason, New Hampshire, the home of of the original uncle sam i didn't know that of course there's also now living uncle sam at least they used to be about a decade ago down in new orleans um but i met him once anyway uh and i just chatted with a guy who mows my brother's lawn it was an uncanny coincidence uh with your show because our topics were the pcr insanity burks and the jab good good see everybody needs to do that you know guard's got a show he's got liberty conspiracy and it's on weeknights i think it's at uh six o'clock if i'm correct he's got it on twitter he's got it on rockfin other places but's engaging people one-on-one wherever he sees them about these vital issues.
Starting point is 02:47:08 Anyway, he said he told me that he was almost killed by Moderna. Well, I'm glad that he's okay for now. He said, thanks for the perfect timing and for the principles. Well, thank you, Gard. Always good to hear from you there. And happy birthday this week as well. His birthday was Monday, I believe. Thank you, Gar. Always good to hear from you there. And happy birthday this week as well. His birthday was Monday, I believe.
Starting point is 02:47:31 So here's what Children's Health Defense has to say about carbon offsets. They said Apple touts the newest model of the Apple Watch as its first carbon neutral product. Made with 100% clean energy. Recycled with renewable materials. Never touched by human hands. Nobody breathed any co2 on it and shipped by lower carbon modes instead of by air isn't that nice that's so silly uh but a close look at the watches uh as a matter of fact, that makes me think one of those, some of those comments on Zero Hedge, one person's username was sacrifice Greta to her climate gods. But a close look at the watches environmental specs shows that reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases and its manufacturing and its supply chain only goes so far. More than one fifth of the claimed savings in emissions are attributed to Apple's purchase of so-called climate offsets,
Starting point is 02:48:35 including shares in a project to plant eucalyptus timber plantations in eastern Paraguay, far from Silicon Valley headquarters of its factories in China. There we go. These esoteric nonsense but here's the reality of what's happening in paraguay for their carbon offsets the project's backers say the climate offsets that it's buying reflect a reduction in eastern paraguay's emissions from cattle ranching. But human rights groups say the scheme is driving peasant farmers from their land for little actual climate gain as most of the newly planted trees will be harvested quickly for consumer products.
Starting point is 02:49:20 There you go. If the government comes in and drives the poor farmers off their land, or in America, the individual farmers who are not making a lot of money, you go in and you take these poor middle-class farmers and you shut down their farms. Well, we'll give you carbon credits that you can sell for cash. We'll pay you to do that. That's the payoff scam.
Starting point is 02:49:47 And that's what's going on. That's fundamentally what's going on with this bird flu stuff. We're going to get rid of the cattle. And then somebody is going to have some carbon credits that they can sell because they stole the business and stole the farms from people. Apple is one of many corporate giants that have pledged to cut its corporate, its company wide emissions to net zero by 2030.
Starting point is 02:50:12 Every time you see net zero, think about it as zero money, zero freedom, zero population. We got to send these people packing. And they want to do this all by 2030 they're joined by google by disney by netflix you know by all the usual suspects even exxon mobil you know what rex tillerson was i'll never forget you know when i was trying to tell people hey rex tillerson was pushing homosexual uh counselors in the boy scouts and normalizing that in the Boy Scouts.
Starting point is 02:50:47 And not only that, but he's a radical environmentalist. And I had all these people on. That was when, you know, first time I ever got backlash from people. Just shut up. This is Trump. He's on our side. Shut up. You don't know anything.
Starting point is 02:51:02 Rex Tillerson was running ExxonMobil. It's like, you think Exxonon mobil isn't into all this green stuff huh you you really don't have any information if you think that exxon mobil doesn't want the green stuff they're going to make more money off the green stuff than anybody else and that's what they're saying here children's health even exxon mobil shell bp chevron they all say they're going to be net zero as well they're going to make lots of money selling all these carbon credits and offsets and all the rest of this stuff they are 100 and on this scheme they know where it's going you think they're not going to jump in big time on this as well? They're hedging their bets.
Starting point is 02:51:45 It's a hedge for them. More than 1,000 of the world's largest companies have publicly declared goals of net zero by mid-century or before. To get there, most of them plan to claim their purchases of climate offsets, also known as carbon credits. They plan to claim them as emission reductions. Though exchanges called verifiers or certifiers through them, rather, these companies buy, sell, and trade shares in schemes that promise to reduce emissions, supposedly offsetting the climate pollution the companies can't or won't eliminate. So from their own operations, right? so they got there and they buy and sell
Starting point is 02:52:28 uh credits about unicorn farts i mean the stuff that they come up with it's like this pcr pr campaign you know uh it's just or you know the the co2 that is everywhere and and it's just the lies stacked on top of lies and the fantasy you gotta call out the fact that these emperors have no clothes do it all the time you know when you meet somebody like a guard did you talk about how the emperors have no clothes everybody thinks that other people don't see it you gotta let them know you know just like uh oliver anthony or anthony oliver i can't remember his stage name but he said you know if they think we don't know but we do yeah let them know that you know the global offsets market is huge it's worth more than two billion dollars
Starting point is 02:53:21 expected to grow to 10 billion or more by 2030. Under standards set by the, wait for it, Paris Climate Accord, one carbon credit represents the reduction of one metric ton of carbon dioxide. Through programs that they call cap and trade, many government regulators worldwide, including the California Air Resource Board air resource board carb let regulated polluters buy carbon credits to meet some of their legally required emissions reductions you know what this is i've likened this before to an indulgence an indulgence from the pope that was you know kind of kicked off on at least the secular and um uh on the secular and commercial side, really kicked off the Protestant revolution
Starting point is 02:54:10 because there were a lot of shopholders who they'd created one holy day after the other, call them holidays. Well, you're going to be forced to close because they had a merger of state and religion. So you're going to be forced to close unless i give you an indulgence you can buy an indulgence from me you can buy permission to stay open that's exactly what this is right uh we have this holy narrative about co2 and you're going to have to close your business if you can't reduce this stuff unless you buy an indulgence from us.
Starting point is 02:54:47 Okay, what's it going to cost me? And that's what it is. It's a scam here because it's not doing anything. The well-documented truth is that many offsets are worthless. It says children's health defense. They're really radical when it comes to pushing this environmental nonsense. They fail to deliver the promised emission reductions, or they even cause harm.
Starting point is 02:55:13 Last year, an investigation by The Guardian and the German weekly Die Zeit found that more than 90% of the forest conservation credits sold by the world's biggest offset exchange, Vera, which verified Apple's Paraguay project, quote, are likely to be phantom credits that don't represent genuine carbon reductions. A 2013 investigation by the nonprofit Corporate Accountability found that 93% of the voluntary carbon offsets that Chevron bought from 2020 to 2022 appear to be junk. And at least 40% are linked to allegations of inflicting harm on communities and spurring degradation of ecosystems. Well, you know, you get rid of these smaller farmers.
Starting point is 02:56:03 I think that classifies as harm. Maybe they don't. I don't know if that's the harm they're talking about. One project to build a huge hydropower dam in a reservoir in Columbia flooded more than 17,000 acres of forest and cropland and displaced thousands of small farmers and fishers. Local people opposing the dam reported threats. They said some people were disappeared. Others were killed. Oh, well, you know, when we have big business and there's a lot of money to be made,
Starting point is 02:56:39 well, maybe just better watch your back, right? And as we look at what is happening with electric cars and we've talked about this before i've talked about this with eric peters the fact that um your tires are going to wear out faster why well because the car is much heavier and your brakes are going to wear out faster and some people have said oh and that brake dust that's really bad stuff well i'm not so worried about that in terms of the environment, but these people who are pushing electric vehicles as a mandate, they are worried about that kind of stuff.
Starting point is 02:57:11 They tell us it's an expense that you have to go through to replace tires and replace brake dust, and brake dust is a lot, a lot, a lot more dangerous than CO2. I mean, I don't mind inhaling some co2 it's a side thing every once in a while unintentionally i'm not snorting it in a bag or anything but you know co2 is not going to kill you but if you got brake dust and high enough concentrations it would so it is uh worse than the co2 and it's creating that because of the weight and so electric car drivers are facing astronomical
Starting point is 02:57:47 costs to replace tires because that is where the rubber meets the road as they say uh the telegraph said the writer said i knew it would be bad but i didn't know it would be this bad electric car buyers should be aware of the astronomical costs. They said car lover Jim Bassett managed only 7,500 miles in his brand new Volkswagen ID.3 before being quoted more than 300 pounds to replace the rear rubber. The 80-year-old stumped up the cash after being told that it was common practice
Starting point is 02:58:20 for tires on his rear wheel model to degrade rapidly due to the weight of the vehicle well i mean there's other ways that you can get rid of the rubber i'm bought my mr2 i surprised myself within less than six months of completely uh taking off the tread on my tires but you know it's just the way I was driving around corners. But, you know, just driving regularly, I guess, with this stuff. Due to the heavy battery or to the fast cornering or whatever, you can lose the rubber on your tires. Fellow ID.3 owners have taken to online forums to also complain of short tire life, blaming degradation on the hefty weight and the instant torque of the car.
Starting point is 02:59:06 This guy who is 80 years old says, I'm quite old. I've had cars all my life. I've never had to change tires this early. It's normally been around 25,000 miles. It amazed me that at 7,500 miles, tires are virtually new. Well, RFK Jr. thinks that you should pay more for gas. Amory Levins calculated that the true, I think the true price of a gallon of gasoline, if the oil companies had to pay the true price,
Starting point is 02:59:33 would be about $12 a gallon. So that's what we're paying for oil, but they don't pay it. You and I do. And if they actually were forced to internalize those costs, to pay all the health care costs and the crop damage and the acid rain damage and all that other, and the pollution costs, and that was reflected in the price of oil, then we'd be paying $12 at the pump,
Starting point is 03:00:03 and we'd be sending the correct signals to the marketplace and the market would be saying we need an alternative don't talk to me about marketplace the american would say well it costs about 0.3 cents a mile to drive an electric car and it costs about four dollars a mile once you get you you know, to buy a gasoline car. And it's, it would. You get the idea. Okay. We're running out of time.
Starting point is 03:00:29 Uh, look, that is about the most patently absurd one-sided argument I've ever heard. Yeah. Talk about the subsidies for the EVs. You know, that's, you don't even have to start digging into other things that are very, very esoteric. I mean, they're right there in your face. You know, we're going to give the buyer, we're going to give them thousands of dollars worth of credits, and we're going to charge the manufacturers if they sell a gasoline engine
Starting point is 03:01:00 car, right? And then when you have all of these other aspects of it, you know, even if you want to get esoteric, you take a look at the EV that lands on the showroom floor with a lot more emissions, energy put into it than the other ones. I mean, it's just, if you want to talk about marketplace, let's talk about the marketplace. Let's just get the government out of these decisions, RFK Jr. and everybody, but you notice how dangerous he is on the environment just get the government out of it let people make their own decisions about what kind of cars they want to have a great weekend The David Knight Show is a critical thinking super spreader.
Starting point is 03:01:51 If you've been exposed to logic by listening to The David Knight Show, please do your part and try not to spread it. Financial support or simply telling others about the show causes this dangerous information to spread farther. People have to trust me. I mean, trust the science. Wear your mask. Take your vaccine.
