Well, we're going to take a look today at the dark silencing curtain that is descending on Western countries everywhere, but especially in the UK. But make sure that you understand that it's going to escalate after the election here in America as well. And we're going to take a look at the Olympics. We've talked about as the Olympics ended yesterday, we talked about all the occultic, pagan, religious symbols, but do you realize how this is all tied together to the French Revolution as well? There's an excellent in-depth piece at Last American Vagabond. We're going to go over a little bit of that. And we'll take a look at what is passing for a presidential campaign. Arguments about who went on helicopter flights with who

and whether or not crowds are real. And the Associated Press making excuses for Lala not doing any interviews and copying the sales tax. Not sales tax, but the tax on tips. We'll talk about that when we come back. Stay with us. Well, we had some of the people who have been fighting this kind of government censorship when it came to the pandemic, when it came to health issues and things that should have been debatable science. But of course, the science is settled and so are the facts.

And don't anybody try to disturb anything. And so at this conference that was put together, they referred to what the government is doing as cognitive vaccines to protect the public. That's the way it was characterized by Mike Benz. This was the Council of the Canceled, a discussion that was live on X on Wednesday. And it included some people from the Children's Health, Shanahan, vice president and running mate of Kennedy. And so they reported on this in the Children's Health Defense. This is not an endorsement of any of the people that were there, but what they're saying is absolutely true.

They said, how can we restore trust in our public institutions, governments, universities, media, science, medicine, when the government spends $100 million to create cognitive vaccines, a mix of propaganda and censorship strategies? Well, they spent a lot more than $100 million. That's my big issue with this. I mean, it's's fine they've got a lot of good information there but we need to understand that the internet was designed to do

this whole thing it was designed 60 years ago to do this the technology became appropriate for them to start making moves in the late 90s and that's when they came out publicly the cia created a venture capital firm they started funding the competitors and of course these people really uh want to win and they're really competing against each other but they're all going to be servants of the intelligence community the same way that you see the elections you have the left and you have the right and they're going to serve the established government and the military industrial complex and the intelligence agencies, regardless of whoever gets elected.

And so this is what was happening with social media. And they gave them far more than $100 million. But Mike Benz, a former u.s state department official founder of the foundation for freedom online discussed the concept of cognitive or psychological vaccines developed by academic institutions with government funding the problem with this analogy is the idea that vaccines actually work um they the propaganda works the censorship works i don't know about their vaccines they have glitzy 10-minute promo videos to create psychological inoculations against what

authorities deem to be fake news each speaker shared experiences and insights illustrating how actions meant to build consensus have instead fostered skepticism and distrust. Folks, it was never well-intentioned. Let's get beyond that, okay? To say that this stuff was well-intentioned is to say, well, I think that we can solve the greenhouse gas effect by doing this or that. No, you've got to debunk the greenhouse gas effect. It's a total lie, a lie designed for control. And this stuff is designed for control.

It was meant to control us with censorship and propaganda. It wasn't just something that went wrong. In the same way that the schools were meant to control us with lies and propaganda. The schools were always designed, and as a matter of fact a lot of the early conservatives uh liked that they had designed the schools as an instrument as an institution to manipulate kids in their way now it's been the institutions have been taken over by a different group of people and they have a different agenda obviously and so it is one of

gaslighting them with gender sexually abusing them mutilating them the rest of this stuff marxism hatred racism that's the agenda at the schools now but they were always designed to push an agenda mike benz pointed to the amendment of the Smith-Munt Modernization Act of 2012. And this really was where it started. And we said when it happened that this is going to be, I remember reporting on this, this is going to be, they're going to use propaganda against us. The Smith-Munt Act was a companion to them creating propaganda

organizations like the Voice of America and Radio Free Europe. And they said, we're going to propagandize Europe. Now, you know, you have two types of propaganda. You can have white propaganda and black propaganda. Black propaganda is outright lies. but white propaganda is telling the truth but not the whole truth you only tell good stuff about whatever it is that you're trying to push and so when you look at voice of america radio for europe and things like that the place where tucker carlson's dad spent his entire career um that's where he comes from. Comes from a CIA family, pushing that stuff. And so they came up with the Smith-Muntag because they said, we don't want this to happen here.

It happened in the same way as the creation of the CIA, the NSA. Well, we need to know all this stuff about other people. We're going to break all the rules, all the moral rules, all the legal rules in other countries, and we're going to spy on people without warrants, and that's fine, but we're not going to do it at home. Well, they did it at home. From the very beginning, the CIA and NSA were spying on Americans,

and so by the 1970s, after 20 years of this, perhaps more, I guess 35, they had the 30 years, I guess, 35. They had the 30 years, I guess. Whatever. But anyway, after decades of actually doing it, the church committee hearing in the Senate and the Pike committee hearing in the House called them out on that. And as a result, we got the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act

saying you will not spy on Americans without a search warrant. And you will not spy on foreigners in America without a search warrant. But then they turned that around and used the FISA court to get a search warrant, quote unquote, on Mr. and Mrs. Verizon, as Rand Paul said. Everybody in the country. And so the very thing that was supposed to constrain them, they turned that into something that gave them an alibi, legal protection, and that type of thing. But it was always designed to do this.

And so when they created Radio Free Europe and other things, they said, we're not going to do this at home, just like when they created the CIA and the NSA. That's only for abroad. We're not going to spy on Americans. Well, they did. And so in 2012, when Obama pushed through this Smith-Munt Modernization Act, that was removing the restrictions of propagandizing Americans.

This intertwining of academia and national security, argued Mike Pence, has led to a situation where dissenting voices are often labeled as fringe or dangerous. There's this thing with an adjective, a profession, and then a proper name, such as fringe epidemiologist Jay Bhattacharya or controversial professor Jordan Peterson. Always got to put that in. Or how about the extreme, far right? Ben's criticized the UK's developed misinformation susceptibility test.

That's something that they have. As the most ridiculous, politically rigged tool, they could be used to justify increasing censorship of certain groups. Google is a major investor in vaccines, said Shanahan. Again, the running mate of RFK Jr. So they're both censoring dissenting opinions while cashing out well that makes it kind of narrow quite frankly as i said before we need to understand that big tech and the internet were created by darpa for this very purpose this isn't simply a conflict of interest yes of course that is there just like it's's there with Fauci and these other people. The profit off of the vaccines to censor and shut down and penalize anybody that criticizes their new products.

But that applies to everything they do. It applies to the green stuff as well. The climate MacGuffin as well as the COVID MacGuffin. And so they can do it to curry favor with government. They can do it because that's what they were created by DARPA to do. Again, a psychologist, J.C.R. Licklider in the 1960s was the one who came up with the idea of the internet. I'm sure it's just a coincidence that they're using it to control people's thoughts,

to push out propaganda and censorship. And so here's where we are right now richard dawkins a biologist was kicked off of facebook they took out his entire account because he said genetically male boxers should not be allowed to fight in the olympics that's an opinion that i share it's also based on his looking at, you know, biology. But the people at Facebook said, no, we don't want you saying that. It might hurt somebody's feelings.

You know, Richard Dawkins was talking about how he likes Christianity, he just doesn't like Christ. Well, this is what you get. Welcome to the post-Christian West, Dawkins. Yeah. get welcome to post the post-christian west dawkins uh yeah it's like the nihilism of nishi you know we've killed god oh no now what happens well nazi germany happens but uh yeah you haven't

killed god these guys have they've just killed the worship of God, the respect of God. And this is what they reap. Facebook nuked the account of Richard Dawkins after he said that genetically male boxers shouldn't be allowed to fight. On Saturday morning, he posted on X about the censorship saying there was no reason given for the sudden removal of his count. Well, welcome to the club, pal. That's the way it rolls out. My entire Facebook account has been deleted. Seemingly no reason given because I tweeted that genetically male boxers

with the XY gene, which is undisputed, he said, should not fight women in the Olympics. Of course, my opinion is open to civilized argument, but why outright censorship? Well, because they will determine what science is. They will determine what reality is. He thinks that he has something to say about that. They don't want to have debate.

There will be no debate. And so when we look at the UK, as I tweeted out, I said, you know, we have Orwell's 1984. It just came 40 years late. We now have Ingsoc, English socialism, 2024. And that's really what is happening. Labor has wasted no time dropping the iron curtain on free speech. Tech giants will be forced to ban fake news under labor plans. And the Telegraph is very happy about this. Tech companies will be forced to ban fake news from their platforms under plans being considered by the government.

It's now just all out in the open. However, critics have said the proposal exposes the sinister and authoritarian side of the Labour Party, driving a coach and horses through the principle of free speech. The plans come after a fight between Musk and the Prime Minister over his handling of the riots. But do you think that this is something that is simply the uk the uk has some horrific laws that they've put in many of these were put in and maintained under the conservative party as well they don't respect free speech either there's large support in both the uk and america for censorship of opinions that people don't like.

This has been inculcated by the schools to disrespect debate, to disrespect different opinions, to punish people. The idea that speech itself is violent, that it should be punished as a crime. All this is widespread throughout our societies. And so when you look at the laws that are in the UK, of course the EU has the DSA. They're trying to impose their censorship worldwide. Theory, Britain has made trips to the US and I've shown you the cringy pictures of Elon Musk bowing and saying,

yes, I'll do everything you say. And so the EU has got that. Canada's got it. Britain's got it. All the English-speaking countries have got it. America's got it as well. Take a look at this. I think we need to push back on this.

There's no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech, and especially around our democracy. Yeah, okay. Well, how do we have a democracy if we can't discuss differences of opinion? And by the way, this is another guy who either has never read the Constitution that he swore to uphold as both a soldier when he left his post,

as well as a politician. He has taken so many oaths to the Constitution that he either hasn't read or has utter contempt for and so um when um andy no talks about what happened in birmingham england he said armed muslim patrol members surrounded and attacked a pub after marching around the area looking for white right wingers to attack they couldn't so they surrounded the pub and attacked a pub after marching around the area, looking for white right wingers to attack. They couldn't.

So they surrounded the pub and attacked it. But, you know, they're mostly peaceful. And that's literally what they were saying. I think they said largely peaceful or something. Musk said, why aren't all communities protected in Britain? And he directed it to Keir Starmer, the new labor leader, the new prime minister. And so now he gets the focus of this online safety act, which passed last year. Who was in power last year?

Conservatives. You see, in the EU and in the UK, well, not so much in the EU, because they haven't had a conservative, nominally conservative government. But in the UK, they passed this Online Safety Act last year, and then they handed over to the commies, the Labour Party, who then mandates it. Kind of the same thing that happened with trump's jabs you know trump creates this abomination and then hands it over to biden who mandates the abomination so the conservatives created this online safety act last year and now they hand it over to

keir starmer who is going to rigorously enforce it. It's very similar to the precedent also that Trump set with the Second Amendment, that Lala Harris can't wait to rigorously enforce gun control by executive order. See, this is one of the reasons why Trump doesn't want to really discuss issues. He wants to call Lala Harris names and all the rest of this kind of stuff, but he won't discuss issues. He wants to call Lala Harris names and all the rest of this kind of stuff. But he won't discuss issues. About the only person I've seen out of the four of them, the two presidential candidates, two vice presidential candidates, who really wants to talk issues to some degree is J.D. Vance. The rest of them are just going to throw insults around at each other. It's so childish.

And I'm not saying that I endorse Vance. He's a technocrat. But meanwhile, a British businesswoman accused of being one of the first to post the wrong name for the Southport attacker has said that it has destroyed her. That was widely reported by a lot of different news sources who later retracted it. I also retracted it, but that went around quite a bit. And so because somebody reposted that and posted one of these articles,

she's not the one who originated that, but she posted it from several news sites were putting it out there. She said it has destroyed her. So the claim, which was promoted across social media, has been blamed for sparking the riots that spread in the country. Ms. Spotforth is her name. She's denied that she was the first to post the message, saying she simply made the mistake of repeating it. And let's understand here that they're focusing on a response to open borders, a response to a murder. And the fact is, is that it's really not that far off.

Nothing is fundamentally changed by saying that this is a person who his parents came over from rwanda and he was born here born there i should say in the uk nothing that doesn't fundamentally change what is going on with the open borders it's not really that much different than somebody having coming over in a boat recently same type of. That's what the open border immigration situation is all about, frankly. People who knowingly spread harmful fake news. How do you determine whether they knew that it was fake news? How would she know that it was fake news?

Can be prosecuted or punished, but it is more difficult to crack down on the platforms that host the content, complains the Telegraph. So the Telegraph and the Guardian and others want Musk and Twitter to be punished for this. A former Tory leader said you are opening the door to endless vexatious complaints so that all news media and all comment becomes stifled because one reader may disagree with it and say that it is harmful to them. It's harmful to the way that they feel.

Moderation of content is no virtue, folks. And extremism in defense of the first amendment is no vice if we go back to i think it was about 2012 you had ron atkinson the actor comedian at a time they were fighting against censorship that was in the guise of protecting people's feelings that's where it always comes in we need to be nice you know feelings. That's where it always comes in. We need to be nice. There's people out there that are just too rude. You know, people like Trump or whatever.

We need to censor that. We need to put a muzzle on these people. They're just harming people with their speech. And here is what Mr. Bean, Rowan Atkinson, said about a decade ago. My starting point when it comes to the consideration of any issue relating to free speech is my passionate belief that the second most precious thing in life is the right to express yourself freely. The most precious thing in life, I think, is food in your mouth. And the third most precious is a roof over your head.

But a fixture for me in the number two slot is free expression just below the need to sustain life itself. That is because I have enjoyed free expression in this country all my professional life and fully expect to continue to do so. Personally, I suspect highly unlikely to be arrested for whatever laws exist to contain free expression because of the undoubtedly privileged position that is afforded to those of a high public profile. So my concerns are less for myself and more for those more vulnerable because of their lower profile. Like the man arrested in Oxford for calling a police horse gay. Or the teenager arrested for calling the Church of Scientology a cult. Or the cafe owner arrested for displaying passages from the Bible on a TV screen.

When I heard of some of these more ludicrous offenses and charges, I remembered that I had been here before in a fictional context. I once did a show called Not the Nine O'Clock News some years ago, and we did a sketch where Griff Rees-Jones played Constable Savage, a manifestly racist police officer to whom I, as his station commander, is giving a dressing down for arresting a black man on a whole string of ridiculous, trumped-up and ludicrous charges. The charges for which Constable Savage arrested Mr. Winston Cadogo of 55 Mercer Road were these.

Walking on the cracks in the pavement. Walking in a loud shirt in a built up area during the hours of darkness. One of my favorites, walking around all over the place. He was also arrested for urinating in a public convenience and looking at me in a funny way. Who would have thought that we would end up with a law that would allow life to imitate art so exactly? I read somewhere a defender of the status quo claiming that the fact that the gay horse case was dropped after the arrested man refused to pay the fine and that the Scientology case was

also dropped at some point during the court process was proof that the law was working well, ignoring the fact that the only reason these cases were dropped was because of the publicity that they had attracted. The police sensed that ridicule was just around the corner and withdrew their actions. But what about the thousands of other cases that did not enjoy the oxygen of publicity, that weren't quite ludicrous enough to attract media attention? Even for those actions that were withdrawn people were arrested questioned taken to court and then released you know that isn't a law working properly that is censoriousness of the most intimidating kind yeah and so as part of that campaign that was 2013 a little over a decade ago. And the reform that got passed

was about equating insults or hurt feelings with hate crime. And if you saw that, you could see in the background, it said, feel free to insult me. Because if we don't allow other people to insult us, if we don't allow speech that we disagree with, then our speech will not be allowed either. So you heard him say that high profile figures like him would probably not be attacked. Well, here we are a decade later and they're coming for the high profile figures coming for everybody. And they're not just coming for everybody in the UK.

They're coming for everybody worldwide. These tin pot dictators in the UK are threatening corporations and individuals worldwide. That's the kind of, you know, tyrants that these people are. Polling has suggested the majority of Britons think that social media companies have done a bad job that's censorship but they don't put it that way they say tackling misinformation well that's censorship who decides what is misinformation the government does and so the majority of britain's 71 percent take that view now this is coming from a YouGov poll. It's not a scientific poll, really. And it may be out there as a push poll to try to justify their censorship.

Oh, look, 71% of the people agree with this. That's why we don't want a democracy. it's possible to use censorship and propaganda to brainwash the vast majority of people to take away individual rights and it's why we should stop that type of thing in fact on rumble uh marky mark new jersey thank you for the tip says by the way former youtube ceo susan wajiki died of lung cancer over the weekend she wasn't a a smoker either. She died of the Trump shot, which was censored on YouTube. Good riddance to bad rubbish, she says. Well, we can't say for sure that she died of the Trump shot. I mean, she's been fighting lung cancer for two years.

That would have been back to 2022. It would have been an adequate amount of time if she had gotten the shot for turbo cancer to have kicked in, but we can't say that with certainty. But perhaps as we look at it, maybe YouTube should not have been as censorious about medical information, perhaps that they would allow more medical debate. We might discover things like my interview last week

when we were talking to um uh the man about um rnc store i'm momentarily uh blanking out on his name but rnc store we talked about the information that's come out and uh g edward griffin has been involved in it for quite some time yeah natural supplements b17 found in things like apricot that's and of course they've come after that so hard but now people are opening up to the fact they used to people used to trust the government before we saw the kinds of ludicrous campaigns and propaganda from the fda about ivermectin come on y'all it's for that type of stuff. And so now people are open to this, but we should always have been open to discussion. Let's do science.

And of course, one of the reasons why they say, well, we don't have any studies, the same thing that you see all the time. If there's not a patent on it, they don't do a study. If they do have a patent on it, they do do a study. And guess what? They pay for the study. So what does the study show for the people who are paying for it? It shows their product works.

So her son also died earlier this year of a drug overdose at age 19. They found the levels of Xanax and cocaine in his blood were high enough to cause death, according to the coroner's report. Low levels of THC were also found in his blood. This is her son. For all of the government propaganda about recreational drugs and about vaccines and about alternative uh approaches to health for all that propaganda didn't do her family any good did it so uh under wajiki youtube championed

censorship banning the far right in mass enacting speech codes so broad they ban the majority of americans from exercising their political views. So that's information liberation. By the way, I looked up to see when she became CEO of YouTube. She became CEO in 2014. So they were already heavily censoring me. In 2013, on the 100th anniversary of the Federal Reserve, as I've pointed out many times, you know, if you watch the program, for the anniversary, since it was done at Christmastime, and since there were parallels, obvious parallels, to the people at the time between the banker Potter in It's a Wonderful Life and J.P. Morgan in real life

who orchestrated the Federal Reserve and used things like bank panics and things like that. I talked about some of the parallels, but I did a lot of other stuff as well. I put in a couple of clips from the movie, and I got those clips that I used from the entire movie, having been on for many years. It's almost a decade, I think, at the point in time, that particular one that I downloaded. It had a million views. And they put a copyright strike against me and against my video

every time i get up to like 12 000 views they get taken down somebody else would post it up and it got up to like 12 000 views and got taken down it was clearly something that was being flagged and then being censored by people there at youtube and that was in 2013 she didn't become ceo until 2014 so it's been going on for quite some time and uh this was before there was any widespread criticism of the federal reserve i guess when the economy crashes you won't be allowed to criticize the federal reserve either that'll join the list of other things like protected lies, like the climate nonsense and the pandemic nonsense and the vaccine nonsense. They'll probably protect the Federal Reserve when the economy comes crashing down.

And if you criticize them, you'll be quietly shadow banned. She helped scams to proliferate on YouTube by removing dislikes for political reasons and worked with a pro-Israel lobbying group, the Anti-Defamation League, to censor users globally using AI for anti-Semitism and for hate. The ADL, the Anti-D anti-defamation league has always always been promoting censorship i mean even to the extent that the hate crime bills that were shamefully passed by desantis and the republican uh legislature in florida he went to israel to sign that legislation to say that speech against the nation of Israel, a foreign government, would be a literal crime that could put you in jail. Shameless pandering for money.

You know, you talk about prostitution. That was as bad as anything that Lala Harris ever did with Willie Brown, quite frankly. Notably, Wojcicki also banned Dr. Joseph Mercola, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and many other prominent alternative health channels for criticizing vaccines as ineffective or dangerous. And then here's an Information Liberation's comment, same as mine. One has to wonder if her medical issues could have been avoided altogether or even possibly treated through means that she censored or that she banned. Well, in the UK, you have demands now that X be taken down. They've actually gone to war and want to go to war with Elon Musk over X. Cambridge professor Sander van der Linden said the government could, quote, geo-restrict access to the platform if the situation got bad.

We're talking about the UK setting up a great firewall just like the Marxist communists did. Because that's where this all comes from. It is absolutely totalitarian. And so they wanted to have a firewall and say, well, this is something, a geofence that is there. Well, you know, you can get around that with VPNs and things like that. As the riots continue, Sander van der Linden warns that the government could restrict access to Twitter or could be banned from the app stores. All of this, Chinese communists. Because, you see, the Chinese communist government is not really necessarily just communist.

It is also fascist. You have a merger of the state and these corporations. You're not going to have a big corporation in China unless you partner with the Communist Party. And, of course, it is hyper-nationalistic. That's a characteristic of fascism, not so much communism. Communism always wanted a world government that they would control. But China is very much about its nationalism and a merger of government and corporations it's very fascist but it is also uh allied with the technocrats and the other

global elites you see these ideological labels are failing us now we just have to understand that they are allied and a template and a beta test site for what the global elites want to do. And so they use them to test the social credit scores and IDs and the red light, green light stuff that they immediately turned around after a couple of years of playing with it in China and use that for the pandemic lockdowns and things like that. And now they're adopting the great firewall of China meant to censor information from their own citizens. That's what they're doing in the UK. It's what they're going to do in the EU as well. So as the riots continue, they may take this from, they may ban X from the app stores. Leo Kiersey on YouTube says the left are acting like a Mideast dictator during Arab Spring. We must crush the people.

They're dissatisfied with our rule and they're noticing our lies. Well, that's really true. And of course, then there is a Marxist journalist at The Guardian. By the way way is there any other kind of you know watermelon marxist a thin veneer green on the outside and on the inside it's all red this person's name is jonathan friedland who says you know who else should be on trial for the uk's far right riots elon musk he says if the the UK authorities and long op-ed piece and drudge proudly linked to it. Well, you know,

all of these people in journalism that are calling for censorship. The only reason they're doing that is because they have made themselves servile slaves of the state and that goes for drudge. It goes for the guardian goes for all of these people just pushing propaganda now if the uk authorities truly want to hold accountable all those who unleashed riots and pogroms in britain they need to go after elon musk well maybe we should arrest the Guardian staff for pushing the climate lies that are meant to starve and depopulate us. Babylon Bee responded with a satire, Elon Musk buys the United Kingdom to establish free speech there. Because Babylon Bee, many on the right, believe that Elon Musk bought twitter in order to establish free speech in the

united states nothing could be further from the truth he is he is a technocrat he doesn't care about free speech uh he it was a very effective way for him to position himself to people who are looking for billionaire savior to to the MAGA crowd. Elon Musk is not stupid. He's very intelligent. And he has been able to schmooze governments to get exactly what he wants from them and to become the world's richest man. He knows how to schmooze the mob as well. But in the Babylon Bee thing. Must ask in a post,

how much is it? When, uh, one person says he should consider purchasing the former empire must then followed up with a post of a thinking emoji, a sure sign that the billionaire was seriously weighing the pros and cons of purchasing the UK. Uh,

though several British politicians insisted that one could not simply purchase their country. Musk simply responded, LOL, just did. Well, I guess the question is, who's purchasing who? Right. This is when you look at who owns who to the giant companies on the government or vice versa, it's like a snake swallowing its tail uh it's a partnership it's a partnership it's a symbiotic relationship uh the the politicians who accept

a bribe and the corporations that get uh thousands of percent return on investment to do precisely what the political agenda is question is who's calling the political shots? That's the real issue. British Prime Minister is threatening a standing army of riot police on hand to deal with far right thuggery. See, it's okay now to openly talk about a standing army, that you want a standing army. But the word militia has been thoroughly demonized by these people every time it's an anarchic group of a mob or thugs or whatever they always call

them militia if it's a group of terrorists they call them militia and they uh have worked very hard to demonize that no the militia was the alternative to a standing army the militia. And they have worked very hard to demonize that. No, the militia was the alternative to a standing army. The militia was all of the citizens from 16 to 60, armed and trained, because a standing army is a threat to our freedoms. And that's exactly what this, the British Prime Minister Keir Starmer,

is exactly what he's doing. He's threatening the freedoms of people in the UK. And he's proud of the fact that he's going to use a standing army for it. Starmer said, well, we've got a lot of different measures we can take. He said the first is we'll have a standing army of specialist officers. So that we'll have enough officers to deal with this where we need them. Now, I want you to think about it in the United States. Where do we have a standing army of specialist officers being created?

80,000 of them coming at the IRS. Has the IRS been used to come after people's free speech of course of course they have intimidated and then backed down when people call their bluff but they haven't tried to intimidate speech and churches for example at the behest of london baines johnson the bane of freedom um and so the IRS has been used politically. It's been used to punish or to reward people with their tax exempt status or this or that. But also the audits or not doing audits for people like the Bidens. So the IRS is very much a political weapon.

And there's bipartisan agreement that they want it when the Republicans are in office they will use the weapon when the Democrats are in office they will use a weapon I mean Richard Nixon uh had an enemies list that was made public by the IRS commissioner because he was with the other side but they all have that type of thing and so um yeah you want to talk about specialist officers you want to talk about a standing army because he was with the other side. But they all have that type of thing. And so, yeah, you want to talk about specialist officers? You want to talk about a standing army? You want to talk about the IRS?

Why is it that the Republicans are on board with making the IRS seven times bigger than it is now? Is that necessary? So that you will own nothing? That's the only purpose of the income tax in the first place, is so that you will own nothing? That's the only purpose of the income tax in the first place, is so that you will own nothing. They don't care about balancing the budget. If they cared in the most remote way about balancing the budget, they wouldn't have a $35 trillion deficit.

They don't care at all about balancing the budget. So why have the income tax? Why create a standing army of 80,000 people to come after us? care at all about balancing the budget. So why have the income tax? Why create a standing army of 80,000 people to come after us? Well, because that's the purpose. And even the Democrats who say, well, the deficits don't matter, but we will raise taxes on activities and people that we don't like. The only reason we have the income tax is to punish people that we don't like, is to saw off the lower rungs of the ladder to success with the people that we don't like, is to saw off the lower rungs of the ladder to success

with the people that they don't like, the middle class and others. Starmer said, Whatever the apparent motivation, this is not protested as pure violence, and we will not tolerate attacks on mosques or on Muslim communities. That's right, but they will tolerate attacks on English communities and churches and pubs the full force of law will be visited on all who are identified as having taken part in these activities elon musk replied and said shouldn't you be concerned about attacks on all communities

well now we need to come after him. Right? Spokesperson for the Prime Minister said, what we've seen in this country is organized, violent thuggery. And it goes by the name of the Labor Party. And it goes by the name of the Conservative Party. Organized, violent

thuggery. That's what the government has become. That's what the government will always be in a totalitarian society which is what both the conservatives and the labor parties are trying to establish in the uk the only critics of this critics of this are the reform party that i can see so largely peaceful you know just like here it was mostly peaceful the riots by the muslims as they went looking for a crowd that they could fight, and when the crowd was not there, they just went after any white people they could find.

A standing army of police was nowhere to be seen, as bystanders just minding their own business were violently attacked by the Muslim mob. And non-Muslim people inside the pub were swarmed, vandalized. People were out in, police, however, were out in force in Plymouth when white English people, labeled by Starmer as the far right, gathered to once again protest. While they were not seen carrying weapons or smashing up property, as a matter of fact, they were just standing there talking and carrying some signs,

and then the police attacked them police made sure to threaten them with attack dogs while counter protesters counter protesters ripped bricks from the walls of a church and hurled them literally over the heads of the police and there are multiple videos showing this on social media so we must shut down social media rather than change the policing police chief as i pointed out last week threatening to arrest people around the world for online speech imagine a tyrant on such a power trip as this. And guess what, folks? This guy, Sir Mark Rowley, was put in by conservatives and carried over into the Labor Party. It's the same thing that's happening here.

Everybody gets all upset, wants to have a civil war over the elections. Do you realize that these same people are put in by one group after the other? You go back and look at Waco and Ruby Ridge. That ATF bureaucracy, you know, Ruby Ridge happened under the George H.W. presidency. And then Waco happened under Bill Clinton and Janet Reno. And of course, they made some public decisions and statements that were

outrageous. They could have eased that back. There was time for them to step in and do something. They chose not to. They chose instead to escalate it and have all those men, women, and children burned alive by the ATF and the FBI. But these people, the ATF and the FBI, were the same ones who carried out the attack on at Ruby Ridge. And so this is the bipartisan left-right march to tyranny that we're seeing here. And it is applying in each and every one of these countries. We'll be right back. ¶¶ © BF-WATCH TV 2021 Liberty. It's your move. And now, The David Knight Show.

Well, I want to thank people who have sent us some checks in August. And I want to quickly run down the list. I'll just go with first names and last initial here. Tracy P., David S., Stacy P., Raymond B., Marty K., Ben and Cindy B., Timothy W., Scott C., D., Charles D., John and Rayetta S., Minor Mike, Bethany, Lois L., Heidi B., Aaron F., Peter G., Josh B., Joel B., Susan L. Joan and Leland T. Sharon and Michael M. Mary N. and H.D. and N.C. And North Carolina, thank you all. And I did want to read those out quickly just to let people know that we had received it in the mail. And I've got several cards here. I want to read this one, though, before we go on with the news.

And this is um from joan and her husband i just mentioned uh i've been watching listening to you since alex jones day and um uh so she apologized for her donation and yet it was very generous she said i'll be 80 next month uh and just retired in march of 2024 with heart issues my husband is a farmer rancher he raises black angus cattle and we were both widowed when we married in june 2022 he says and this is the key thing that all of you should pay attention to. She said that a baby calf, male, was $100 to $150. And now they are $1,020. A 716% increase.

What do you think is going to be happening to food costs? You see, they can ban meat in any number of ways. They can regulate something to death. They've been doing that for cars for quite some time, raising the price of cars and making all of these regulatory demands on them until most people can't afford a new car. So it's like, all right, well, let's just, next step is we can ban it after a lot of people are not invested in it.

It's one of the things about the gun culture, when there's not a lot of people who own guns, when it's only a small minority of people who own guns, you can easily gaslight people about that and ban them. So a 716% increase in the price of a baby calf uh so her husband will be 81 and um well i think just turned 81 based on birthday here but um he works very hard every day and uh so i'll just say this one last thing because i thought this was very touching i said we have nine children 23 grandchildren grandchildren, two great-grandsons. You speak for us. Well, thank you very much.

That is really kind. Let's take a look at the end of the Olympics. And everybody has been talking about these boxers and what they have done to women from the very beginning. And guess what? They won gold medals the first guy the Algerian boxer beat 13 women to get the gold medal in the welterweight final 25 years old he was disqualified from last year's International Boxing Association world championships because he failed a gender test it's a dna test now there's indications that there may be some with these two individuals there may be some intersex issues in terms of um you know malformation of genitals or something

like that however if you got a DNA test, now what we're talking about is a doping issue. And the testosterone issue is something that is going to give them superior ability to compete. That's why they do a DNA test. But they don't even have a DNA test at the Olympics. They don't have any test. They just look at your passport.

If your passport says that you're female,'re in how hard is that today the international olympics committee allowed a male boxer with xy chromosomes to win a gold medal actually two of them uh and so uh when you look at the response from the International Boxing Association, they're really at war with the Olympics Committee. Last week, the Olympics Committee and Paris 2024 Boxing Unit issued a joint statement saying that every athlete competing in the 2024 Games had complied with their regulations. But they don't have any gender tests. Like I said before, all that's required is a passport that says female and you're in. One person, Valentina Gomez, said it's no secret that men can easily beat women. That's why we carry a gun.

That's right. It helps to equalize things. And then it's not just him him it's also the other boxer from taiwan now this is reported by rt they call it chinese taipei instead of taiwan because they're the russians are trying to bow to china they don't want to offend china boy there's nothing that offends china more than the mention of taiwan uh so this taiwanese uh so therefore let's emphasize this for the chinese censors out there he's from taiwan taiwan you know that small country that broke off from the communist taiwan yeah that one uh anyway one one olympic gold and the featherweight

class well why don't they have these two guys fight each other? Oh, you can't do that because they are different weight classes. Well, what's that about? Why do you have all these different weight classes? Why don't you just have a 150 pound guy fight, um, or let's say, you know, 120 pound woman, you know, fight a 250 pound man, right? As a matter of fact, I think if, uh, if 150 pound man fighting a 250 pound man right as a matter of fact i think if uh if 150 pound man fighting a 250 pound man was the 150 pound guy was bruce lee that'd be a fight worth watching wouldn't it i mean it's not always the size but that is usually the case uh the size and the weight and of course you know

the size and weight is also going to indicate the reach of somebody and all the rest of these things so you have all of these different weight classes you have featherweight you have welterweight you know heavyweight all these different things i don't know how many there are i'm not a not a boxing fan quite frankly i don't like watching people beat each other up but um especially women you know that's the one question that everybody why do we have women fighting each other why are women brutalizing each other that that in and of itself it's just that's a non-starter as far as i'm concerned but if you're going to have these these boxing matches why have the different weight classes let's just have a melee free-for-all no rules right i mean the whole point of having these is the same thing you do with with golf with a handicap all right we have two people play a game of golf

you look at the handicap and you try to even up the playing field how many times have we heard that evening up the playing field that's what men and women sports is about it's about trying to make the playing field a little more even so it becomes about individual effort rather than physical characteristics uh so uh the uh none of this stuff makes any sense none of this stuff is about sporting about a level playing field. And so the Italian boxer and International Boxing Association, which I said before, is at war with the Olympics Committee. They're very angry about the first boxer who collapsed and gave up and said, this is wrong.

Angela Carini will get $50,000 split between her and her trainer from the International Boxing Association because of this. made the announcement in his latest video in a series of incendiary criticisms of the Olympic Committee, which suspended his organization's Olympic recognition before the Tokyo Games and banished them entirely last year. He said, I couldn't look at her tears. I'm not indifferent to such situations, and I can assure that we will protect each boxer. I do not understand why they kill women's boxing. Only eligible athletes should compete in the ring for the sake of safety, he said. Well, again, it's why they have different weight classes. But it's very key for the Olympics to make sure that they erase.

It's one of the key things, right? We have to erase this culture. It's about propaganda and so um that is uh the the common value that we see happening with all these international organizations the olympics is a big part of that it's just uh i guess additionally frustrating that like our own governments always are doing they're using our taxpayer money or the debt on our children to pay for this nonsense. The National Health Service in the UK staff are told to ask men if they are pregnant before they give them x-rays. And when I saw that headline, I said to Karen, I said the first thing I would say to them, why, yes, I am.

I guess I should leave right now because i don't want anybody like this doing any kind of medical procedures on me you're gonna ask me if i'm a woman or ask me if i'm pregnant um the guidance was written after an incident in which a trans man a woman who was disguised as a man was unknowingly pregnant so they they have changed the very definition of men and women here. A woman who was dressed as a man, let's make that, was unknowingly pregnant, had a CT scan, and they said radiation from X-ray from CT and MRI scans can be dangerous to unborn babies.

Do we care about unborn babies now? Every day it's flip-flop, flip-flop, flip-flop on these different things. And then when I read the article, I saw that somebody actually did exactly what I said I was going to do. One radiographer claimed that a man on a two-week urgent cancer pathway, quote, was so annoyed by the questions on the form, he shouted and left the department and didn't actually have a scan. There is an unnecessary risk for these patients if they do get so annoyed that they don't have the scan. In another example, an inpatient requiring daily scans for a week

after esophageal surgery had, quote, a sense of doubt, unquote, instilled by being asked daily whether he was a man at the radiology department. It's like, if you guys can't determine something that basic, I don't know that I want you doing any work on me. But, of course, that is a possibility that they just don't know. Maybe they got their job because dei didn't earn it the best person getting the job quote-unquote is now being taught in colleges as racist if you say the best person should get the job you are a racist and this is at Arizona State University's Walter Cronkite School.

That's the way it is, right? If you say the best, that's the way it is. You're racist. That's just the way it is. Isn't that amazing? It's been documented by the Goldwater Institute, which is also in Arizona, of course. But that's why DEI stands for didn't earn it you know i remember when uh not um walter cronkite but walter williams who's passed away now used to do russia's show who's passed

away like everybody's dying i don't know everybody i know but uh anyway, the just this thing that happens as we get older. But Walter Williams, a black economist, I think he taught at liberal Georgetown as well. But he was a libertarian economist. He used to guest host for Rush. And I remember hearing him say that nothing bothered him as a black man more than affirmative action. It's that people assume because of that that i didn't earn it d-e-i see way back then they assume it's d-e-i that i didn't earn it and he said i did earn it and it cheapens my work to let other people skate in because of, you know, whatever. They now call that the intersectionality boxes.

You know, you get different points for being preferred things, you know, the preferred sex or, you know, being pretending that you're a gender that you're not, you know, or skin color or you're male or female. You get all these different points and then they add them up and then they have negative ones as well uh walter williams didn't like it but you know walter cronkite he was fully on board with all that stuff uh fully on board with the bohemian grove and things like that as well and then um there's a very interesting just finish up with the olympics here very interesting in-depth article mean, it's like 30 pages long when you print it out. And it's from The Last American Vagabond. A very thorough article.

By the way, I did an interview with Ryan Christian at Last American Vagabond, I guess it was on Thursday, and they put it out on Saturday. If you want to see that interview, I put the link on my social media accounts on Twitter and on Gab. And I don't know, maybe we can put a link on it for the people on Subscribestar today,

Travis. You know, we put it out there. But anyway, we don't forget to do it. It was a very interesting interview and we talked about a lot of things. Some of it we talked about with the Paris Olympics, but this gets into a lot of detail. It said Occult Olympics is the title of it. Solar deities and the French pagan revolution. What I thought was interesting about this, very much in depth in terms of not just the French Revolution and the Jacobins

and Robesphere, things like that, but actually the occult intersection into all that, even where the city of Paris got its name. And what we have seen in all of this is that not only have they paired anti-Christian mockery at the beginning, they toned itchristian mockery at the beginning they toned it down i think for the closing ceremonies i didn't see anybody i i didn't watch the closing ceremony i figured if there was something um about mockery in it that they that would show up but uh show the picture there that he's got. That character there that is a little cartoon character they have is actually the cap that the Jacobins wore. So they're embracing that French Revolution.

We saw that with the singing head, beheaded Marie Antoinette that was singing and all the rest of the stuff. But it is very dark and they even embrace that particular cap. But just to recap, so to speak, when we talked about this, one of the things that I had not shown, and I had not even seen it, I went back and looked to find it, was the golden calf. I did that interview with Peter Hammond, and he talked about, why would they put a golden calf out there? Well, that's absolutely a good question.

And why would they have the pale rider, death on a horse? There's so many things about the Olympics that, you know, symbolism that's right in your face, as well as the mockery of Christ and communion. And then the arrest, as I pointed out last week, the arrest of people who simply said, sign this petition if you don't like this mockery of Christianity. Here's a recap of this. Look at that. That's the death horse, and they've got this all planned where the wings at the bottom of the Eiffel Tower show on either side of death riding that horse.

What else but a golden calf should be in the middle of the platform at the top of these steps? How on earth could these organizers, who went through countless board meetings discussing each and every facet of Olympic artwork and design, incorporate a golden calf into the scenery. to the police station where they want to file a report. They found some kind of reason why we cannot have this guy over here. We did everything within the rules. We asked if there was a need for permission. It seems like it's obviously about the message. It seems like it's an ideological attack against the people. So we'll keep you updated.

Let me know what's happening right this moment as we're being taken away as criminals. Yeah, Stop Attacks on Christians. And it's got a website there where you can sign a petition. StopAttacksOnChristians.org. They got arrested for that. But of course, you know, it's not a problem to have this mockery of Christians. It's just a problem if you complain about it.

So going back to the article there at Last American Vagabond, not only were Christian-oriented populations of the world revved up by this intentionally provocative operation, but an arrogant celebration of a restoration of paganism under an occult priesthood was conveyed publicly. And the key thing that they focus on here is the celebration of the french revolution from the announcement months ago that the mascot of this year's olympics would be the fridges i if i'm pronouncing that right the phrygian caps are worn by the jacobin mobs as

well just showed you the little red cap that's going to be their cartoon character it's what the jacobin mobs wore during the bloodbath of 1792 to 94 or the severed head of a singing marie antoinette to the strange song extolling the virtues of equality and fraternity saying the lyric said if we were all only naked. Revolution everywhere. It's sex. It's libertine-ism, not liberty. That's the missing thing there, right? They celebrate equality and fraternity, not liberty. And when you look at what is the difference between liberty and equality, right? Well, what they were looking at, like all the Marxists and all the people who are manipulating and marched through our institutions, they're looking for an equality of results.

And that's incompatible with the liberty of opportunity. You see, we should all have equal opportunity, and we should all have the freedom to achieve, and we should have the best man win, or woman, or whatever, but that but that is racist now we're going to get rid of liberty it was always at odds with the french ideal of um of equality and uh so um those two were in attention and they have now purged the liberty, and they wish we were all naked. I guess that's a new level of you'll own nothing, right? Not even the shirt on your back. The French Revolution itself was a perverse attempt at a global 18th century great reset.

Very true. And if you think about it, that's what the last vagabond says. If you think about it, think about it in the context of a fourth turning. We saw the Great Depression and World War II, and then prior to that, we saw the American Civil War. But we also had, at exactly the same time, 1861 to 1865, a civil war in Italy. As I've pointed out many times, a civil war had absolutely nothing to do with slavery. Our war, yes, slavery was a factor in it, but it was not the deciding factor. The deciding factor in what was happening in America and Italy at the same time and those civil wars. And it happened not up to the point of civil war in some other countries like Germany and others.

It was about the creation of the nation state. It was about the Industrial Revolution. And state. It was about the industrial revolution. And those two things went hand in hand. You had decentralized agrarian powers that were then centralized as part of the nation state, as part of the industrial revolution. And that was going on throughout Europe and through America and through South America as well.

Garibaldi, who was involved in the Italian Civil War, was also involved in Brazil at about the same time. They were not in lockstep so much at the time of the American Revolution. They were getting close. But again, Strauss and Howe go back and they say, well, you know, about every four generations, about every 80 years, you have this massive changing of institutions. It's always accompanied by financial unrest, usually by war.

And they went back and they looked at World War II, Great Depression, the Civil War, the American Revolution, and they went back for 500 years in British history. Now, other countries were not synced at that point in time. And so the French Revolution was lagging the American Revolution, but the American Revolution was a fourth turning for us, and it was on that cycle of England and America. But now the entire globe is on the same schedule. And so when we look at the fact that it wasn't chronologically synchronized, there was a great deal of overlap overlap and it was a great reset.

More specifically, it was a fourth turning. It just came a little bit later to the French and it had a kind of philosophical foundation that became the foundation for Marxism and communism later on in 1789 the world was ripe with potential for a new age of cooperation reason based on the successful overthrow of the british imperial rule over the american colonies as a matter of fact um it kicked off this it also changed things in england churchill and his um history of the american uh history of the english-speaking people said that when america liberated itself that it also broke the power of the monarchy which was important helped to establish the power the power of the parliament so that was a little bit of a move in the right direction maybe not enough as we see today anyway as flawed as the young republic america was and putting those ideals into practice they did represent a success for the cause of freedom and a loss for

the systems of feudal oligarchism that had latched on to humanity since time immemorial what made the american successes of 1776 to 1781 even more threatening to the hereditary oligarchy of Europe was that it wasn't simply an American affair, but it involved the active participation of leading Republicans of France, Ireland, Prussia, Russia, and even Southern India. Of all the international support for the young republic, the biggest was, of course, by far France, due in large measure to the brilliant organizing efforts of Benjamin Franklin, who was able to create a movement within France's intelligentsia to give national support to the American cause. It was thus hopeful that the same leading French revolutionaries aligned with Ben Franklin in Washington would be able to replicate the American Revolutionary Experience in 1789. And so you had some of them like Lafayette and others. It goes back to the cartoons.

I used to have, what was it? It was Rocky Bullwinkle. I had Sean Lafayette, the barefoot pirate, and I had to catch myself every time I had to say Lafayette. By July 20 20 1789 the first act of the french revolution had occurred known as the tennis court oath and the first president of a new organization called the national assembly this assembly resolved to create a constitution that soon formulated a beautiful founding document co-authored by Thomas Paine, the guy who had written Common Sense, the thing that was so instrumental in galvanizing Americans with new ideals. And it was read to the Continental Army by George Washington and others. I mean, it had a massive impact in America. And so Thomasomas pain helped to co-author the declaration of the

rights of man lafayette became head of a new national guard and a program to educate the citizenry was begun and so here are some of the same people that helped the americans they've been part of the american revolution they go to france to do the same thing there. But it goes sideways. They had a constitutional monarchy with a king, Louis XVI, who believed in natural law and general welfare as a principle of law, coming into existence for the first time in centuries. A new set of values was introduced, quite incompatible to any system built around a hereditary elite. And it was actually being done without bloodshed. Then it went sideways. And Lafayette barely escaped with his life. Many of the people who had been part of the American Revolution lost their lives in that Jacobin Revolution.

It was soon taken over by people like Robesphere. And the purge began but the key thing and and when you look at it and you see all the american involvement uh it helps to explain why jefferson was so pro french revolution at the beginning of it i used to look at it and say how in the world did jefferson support that you know it's only a superficial claim to that but we to look at it and say how in the world did jefferson support that you know there's only a superficial claim to that but we're looking at it backwards right and we look back from the present at that point in time what we see first is how it went sideways the abuses and the beheadings and all the rest of stuff which they were so proud to celebrate at the paris olympics and so they proudly celebrated that's their they've embraced that they honor that that should concern you uh but uh when i look back that's what i would see

and i thought it was um it was uh it was disgusting It was abhorable. And yet Jefferson was on the front end of that, where they had people trying to put together a kind of rights issue and working with Lafayette and others. But what they came after, and this is good in this article. I had not seen this before. Talking about the war on Christianity that the Jacobins did. And of course we have seen this with every totalitarian government. Predominantly through the 20th century, the totalitarian governments would appeal to communism and Marxism as a justification for their existence. But this is something that will always happen with totalitarian governments of any stripe.

The bloodlust of Robespierre only increased, leading to his conclusion that the real cause of the injustices in France was Christianity itself, leading to his creation of a new religion of perverted reason called the cult of the supreme being and the complete overhaul the calendar system using a decimal system the french revolutionary calendar was

based on a radical rejection of christianity which was entirely banned under the new regime that's why i start the program every day with year of our lord 2024 you know when Aldous Huxley, who talked about the, Aldous Huxley talked about the technocracy, he was kind of a science fiction writer in favor of the technocracy. And Aldous Huxley had them change the calendar to before and after Ford, creator of the assembly line, right?

A technocratats position with it and so he came up with a french revolutionary calendar that removed christ all christian holidays were replaced with pagan solstice rituals and a new calendar that used 10 days a week and based itself on the seasons the hope was that the population would soon lose all sense of the existence of Sunday and be cleansed of the parasite of superstition. Even Robesphere's closest supporters thought he went too far on this one. And he soon found himself in a guillotine. Such a vast vacuum of leadership was created that only a strong man such as

Napoleon could enforce order onto the chaos of revolution. And he wasted no time in declaring himself emperor of the world. This God-man image, which Napoleon believed himself to be the living incarnation of, you know, he was kind of the chosen one, right? That's a very dangerous idea. I reject it absolutely when it's put out repeatedly and boasted by people like Wayne Ellen Root, this idea that we've got some chosen savior,

some political figure. I mean, we're seeing elements. There's nothing new under the sun. Bible got that right. And so we see elements of all of this, these aberrations in history, these violent, evil times. We see elements of them throughout our society now. Napoleon believed himself to be the living incarnation of the God-man image.

And it was simply a revival of the cult of the Sun King that Louis XIV had set up. He portrayed himself as a solar deity alongside a Gnostic pagan revival in the kingdom. Because, of course, worshipping the sun and being the Sun King, that's something that's gone back through egyptian culture and you know ancient culture for the longest time contrary to popular belief the french revolution was not atheistic it was not it was only anti-christian think about that yeah when you look at the olympics olympics is not atheistic uh it has a different religion that's pushing you in the same way that we look at all these people who are yelling and screaming about the patriarchy,

it isn't that they want anarchy. No, they want women to be in charge. So they want a matriarchy, not a patriarchy. This revolution of reason, quote-unquote, was extremely religious. And this is what I thought was particularly interesting here. The cult of ISIS said, in the fires of anti-Christian purges of France and amid the bloodshed of 40,000 people decapitated on the guillotine, the vast revival of pagan mystery cults occurred between 1790 and the bloodiest days of France's civil war,

leading up to Bonaparte crowning himself king of the world in 1804. And the most aggressive mystery cult during this time was the cult of Isis. Over the wreckage of the Bastille, the big prison that they stormed, they erected a monument to the Egyptian goddess Isis in 1793, which featured water fountains spouting sacred water out of her nipples. In 1790, as the revolution was sinking into anti-Christian insanity, a committee was formed to modify the official crest of Paris to showcase a boat featuring the goddess Isis sitting on the bow as an homage to the deity of navigation and the moon.

And then they came after Notre Dame, the Basilica. It became a target of the anti-Christian revolutionaries. They tore down the spire. They destroyed as many Christian symbols and statues that they could find. And in 1793, they converted the site into the headquarters of the Festival of Reason, where Christianity was mocked, as it was, I guess, as we saw it being done in the Olympics. The cathedral was even renamed the Temple of Reason. They had scantily clad women dancing around a high priestess dressed as a goddess of as the goddess of reason,

sitting atop a mountain with new statues to the secular saints of Montesquieu, Descartes, Newton, Voltaire. In fact, this goddess of reason was merely a revised version of ISIS. And, of course, ISIS has surfaced with a variety of different names. There has been, we've seen Ashtaroth, and we've seen Asarte, all these different sex cult goddesses throughout the area where the Canaanites were, down into Carthage, North Africa, all of that area, was all about that. And as I point out many times, they would have these ceremonies. They had the goddess Isis or Ashtaroth or Astarte or whatever,

and they would have these pagan orgies as part of the so-called worship and then later on you would have uh the god of prosperity malik and people would burn their children alive they would heat up the statue had outstretched arms and lap and they would place their babies on that uh fire to be burned alive get rid of the babies because you know that was if you don't have children you're going to be more prosperous and that was the whole point of the sacrifice to malik it's what planned parenthood tells women who come in uh you know, do you realize how much this baby's going to cost you? You want to be prosperous? Well, sacrifice your child to Moloch.

That's not exactly what they say, but that's, you know, the same lies wearing a different suit. And so they set this up as a revised version of ISIS. It wasn't a coincidence because Notre Dame, the basilica there, had been built on the former temple of Isis. So they used to have a temple of Isis there

at that location. And in 1163, they took that down and they built Notre Dame. So they destroyed the Temple of Isis. It was seen as a symbolic victory for Christianity. This is what societies do. When the Muslims come in, they tear down, you know, whatever was there politically, religiously, and they build their own stuff.

When you have revolutions, what do they do? They tear down the statues to the former leaders. We saw that happening with Ceausescu in Romania. We saw that happening with Saddam Hussein. We see it happening in America as they tear down the statues of George Washington and other historical figures like Robert E. Lee and others. History has to be erased.

And so they haven't put up their new temples yet in America, but they've torn down the old statues that represent the old values of our society. It's long been known that the name Paris itself derives from the name Par-Isis, meaning from ISIS. And it had much to do with the large temple of ISIS, which existed on the banks of the River Seine which is built by a large sect of Celtic Isis worshippers centuries earlier so when Christianity became dominant they took

that down now there's a long thing here in this article continues to go on for quite some time I'm not going to get into it except just to mention the fact they also get into how the cult of Earth Mother worship also was a part of the Jacobin Revolution. Just as it is today. You know, we look at the environmental movement. This idea of Gaia. It was sold out there by, what was his name? Lovelock, I think. Lovelock or Lovelace.

I think it was Lovelock. It took the kids to England in 2001. It was all over the place. He's now recounted, recanted, I should say, his belief in global warming. But they were pushing this idea that that and they even named it after the greek goddess gaia which is mother earth that the earth is alive and sentient and human beings are a virus i've mentioned that many times you've heard me say that so the cult of gaia was also a part this environmentalism and this goddess cult matriarchy all the rest of this stuff the matriarchy

climate change anti-christian a new religion that they're going to worship. An ancient religion that gets revived. This is everything that we see happening today. This was there during the Jacobin Revolution. And so the cult of Gaia in 2005 had, sorry, 205 BC, took hold in Rome. And an early Christian polemicist, Prudentius, who lived 348 to 410 AD, described the rites that one of these earth goddess cults, he said, there are rites in which you mutilate yourself

and you maim your bodies to make an offering of the pain. Do we see that happening today? Yeah, we have a lot of people in the self-mutilation, don't we? A worshiper possessed thrusts the knife into his arms and cuts them to propitiate the mother goddess. Frenzy and wild whirlings are thought to be the rule of her mysteries. The hand that spares the cutting is held to be undutiful, and it is even barbarity of the wound that earns heaven. Another person makes a sacrifice of his genitals, appeasing the goddess by mutilating his loins.

He unmans himself and offers her the gift. Both sexes are displeasing to her holiness, so she keeps a middle gender between the two, ceasing to be a man without becoming a woman. This is 1,100 years ago. So, you know, when we look at the parallels of this stuff, as I said before, there's nothing new under the sun. Self-mutilation, this intersex stuff that's there,

that they celebrate at the Olympics. You know, how long is it going to be before they start having human sacrifice there? How long is it going to be before they start having human sacrifice there how long is it going to be before they start having self-mutilation there uh we've seen uh so much strange stuff historian molly dowdswell writes after their act of castration the gali wore exclusively women's clothing as signs of their, they wore a type of crown, maybe a laurel wreath, as well as gold bracelets called an akabas.

It is thought that these men also bleached their hair, which they kept long, and that they wore makeup. They would have walked around in groups telling fortunes in exchange for money. Well, there you go. So what they do today is they dress up like that and they tell us that the fortune that they tell us is that the earth is going to burn up, whatever it is. But isn't it fascinating to see the threads

of all of these pagan religions coming together in the current day? And they're all there we're gonna take a quick break we'll be right back Thank you. You're listening to the david knight show i want to talk about uh some other uh i guess we could call them cassandras even though they're guys they just said they would castrate themselves as part of this earth mother cult and then they would tell fortunes well we got a very prominent fortune teller that we're going to take a look at his failed prophecies about climate and the world. But before we do, just quickly, I wanted to cover a couple of things that were sent in the mail. This is from a listener who has been a very faithful supporter.

And I wanted to mention this to both her and everybody else. I said, I can't seem to figure out how to email you directly. And I said, could you please let me know the easiest way to do this? And so just if people want to email us, you can find the email address at the David Knight show dot com. That email address is David Knight show at proton mail dot com. David Knight show at proton mail dot com. But the link to that, just like the link to all the different shows, the audio versions, the video platforms, we post the shows.

That is all there at the David Knight show dot com. If you want to go there you can find that and this was sent by pete g he said i listen on podcast republic oh that's good i you know there's all a lot of different podcast platforms and um it is it gets broadcast to a lot of them that i don't even know but But he says, Bradley Dean is not available anymore there. And I said, I also tried another podcast, Tune In, and only his May 23rd show turns up. Anyway, I caught you and Bradley at his website today.

Well, I know that Bradley was at, and I've been on with Bradley several times, and always good to talk to him and i have guest hosted his show a couple of times because he does a lot of personal events sons of liberty is his program and uh they were on the genesis communications network which is where alex jones started out and that network has shut down and so they were taking his radio show and broadcasting it out. So he's in a transition period, but he's not going away. He's busy working with that.

So I would suggest, you know, you found him on his website. I would suggest going there if you're trying to connect up with him because there will be more information as things start to come together. They gave them no warning at all. I mean, he was there for a couple of decades, I think, and then all of a sudden, boom, you're just, you're gone and he's got to find a new place to put the program out. So he's been really busy and does a good job. He's focused on a perspective, on politics.

We share most of the same views, I think, pretty much. But anyway, just to let you know, I wanted to let people know where they could find him. Earth is only 14 years away from Ted Turner's cannibalism. He said by 2038. And of course, he was kind of loose about those dates anyway. Back in 2008, as late as 2008, he was making the same kind of lunatic predictions about the end of the world that we saw in the 1970s. As they were kicking out Earth Day. As you had people like Paul Ehrlich, who's still around as well.

And so Ted Turner was making these kind of ludicrous claims back in 2008. Not doing it will be catastrophic. We'll have eight degrees, we'll be eight degrees hotter in 10, not 10, but in 30 or 40 years. And basically none of the crops will grow. Most of the people will have died and the rest of us will be cannibals. Civilization will have broken down. The few people left will be living in a failed state like Somalia or Sudan. And living conditions will be intolerable. The droughts will be so bad there'll be no more corn growing.

Not doing it is suicide. Just like dropping bombs on each other, nuclear weapons is suicide. So we've got to stop doing the two suicidal things, which are carrying on to our nuclear weapons and then after that we've got to stabilize the population. When I was born there was too many people. That's why we have global warming. We have global warming because too many people are using too much stuff.

If there were less people, they'd be using less stuff. Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria. That's right. That's what they're always pushing. These guys, they never give up.

They're never right about it every bit of it has been a lie but it's always about getting rid of people it always comes back to that and they got too much stuff so first of all we got to make sure you own nothing you know how do we get to zero oh well we got net zero we got vision zero and they want to zero everything out including you you and me they want us to die they want us to go away they want the people to go away they want to stay there but there's too many people with too much stuff so we got to take away the people and take away the stuff from the remaining people as well that's ted turner uh the guy who is a multi-billionaire

the guy who was married to jane fonda for quite some time um you know they're married for 10 years and during that 10 years i remember when um that turner put out his propaganda cartoon aimed at kids captain planet despicable garbage like that you heard what he said though too about you know well i'm gonna be living like somalia or something well hey we can all live like somalia if you bring somalia here like they did in minneapolis tim walls and others you know democrats love that that's been their power base for ilhan omar and keith ellison and people like tim walls uh somalia right there, right there in Minneapolis, little Mogadishu. Yeah, you can live like Somalia right there in Minnesota under the Democrats. Isn't that great?

And so she left Ted after 10 years of marriage, and she got $40 million, points out Mark Moreno. And then she went on TV, ABC. She talked to a reporter, Lee Sales, and she literally cried on camera. Jane Fonda did about emissions. She said emissions are trashing our home. And in her case, she has a $5.4 million dollar la townhouse she said i guess emissions are somehow trashing it maybe it's going down in value maybe it's only worth five million now i don't know she grieved along with that reporter about the cost of living jane fonda said do i need money well there's that.

People forget that we're working people. Did you remember that Jane Fonda and Ted Turner are working people? She got $40 million from this multi-billionaire who wants to kill you and take everything from you. And she's a working person who belongs to three unions. I have to earn a living. I have a bottom line that I've got that I have to meet. And it's tough right now. Yeah, it's hard. You know, when you buy multiple multimillion dollar homes everywhere,

that becomes a real drain on you. You wind up, if you're rich enough and you get tied into that, you wind up being possessed by your possessions. Creates a constant sense of fear and insecurity that you're going to lose that stuff. She said, I mean, not that tough. I have a roof over my head, a $5.4 million roof and a very nice home that's paid for. She doesn't have a mortgage on that $5.4 million home. And I have food and I have an assistant with me and i'm very very lucky but i'm worried we will have gone almost a year without working and that's scary i have to keep

working she said well i think she pretty much poisoned her career that that was um it was a couple years ago uh she's um still working i guess for the democrat party uh ted in terms of talking about cannibalism um he also in 2017 for example donated a billion dollars to the un even more than he gave jane fonda he likes the un better than jane fonda how about that he doesn't have to live with the u.n he's uh the rest of us have to live with him uh but look uh cannibalism why is it these people always focused on cannibalism and this kind of soylent green future they have an obsession with it you know you had um uh army hammer basically burned his career when several people came out and said he was obsessed with cannibalism i was just joking was he is trump just joking when he's obsessed with hannibal lecter i mean when you look at all of these people they hate humanity

they're doing more and more movies about cannibalism and even talking about it in their personal life. They're obsessed with it. And it flows out of a general hatred of humanity. It really does. It is satanic. Satan hates humanity. And this is an expression of how they have bought into it. And so it kind of concerns me when I see Trump's fascination with Hannibal Lecter, that he's mentioned many times.

People are saying, what's up with that? Nobody that I've seen has a plausible explanation. The MAGA people just kind of ignore it, and the left is puzzled about it. When I look at it, I wonder if it reveals a globalist contempt for humanity in general. So some of the stuff that you heard him say, there will be eight degrees hotter in 10 years, not 10, but 30 or 40 years. OK, well, we're not that far away now. Now we're only about 10 years out now.

Do you see any evidence of that? Again, the only evidence I see of our society turning into Somalia is open borders and mass immigration and Democrats in charge. But when we look at Australia, one of the things, they've looked at the polar ice caps, and they try to tell us that the polar ice caps are melting and they're not uh they try to tell us so we got global warming and yet you know when you look at the temperatures not at the thermometers but you look at the temperatures from space you get a very different picture of that and then they tell us that all the barrier reef was going to die. And yet we've had three years in a row of record growth of the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.

So massive increases, as a matter of fact, in coral. The Australian Great Barrier Reef from 2023 to 2024, making it the third record year in a row of heavy growth access across almost all of the 1500 mile long reef from the warmer northern waters to the cooler conditions in the south coral is now at its highest level since they began looking and you know we saw the same thing when they had an ozone hole like first time they looked they saw a hole in the ozone like well how do you know that that wasn't always there was it always there was it bigger was it smaller was it non-existent or was it the same as it is now but they freak out they use it to get all the chicken littles fired up nature claimed that climate change posed an

existential threat to the great barrier reef years ago and of course the mainstream media is ignoring the fact that there's been record growth they ignore the fact when the polar ice caps increase in ice as well they just show you the seasonal uh changes as snow melts during the warmer seasons the science tells us that the great barry reef is in danger and we should be guided by science um disinformation from the guardian in order to have a revolution as a matter of fact uh so for the first two years of recorded of record coral growth the narrative driven mainstream media ignored the recovery story, but this year, the suspicious might contend that something had to be

done in order to blunt the sensational news of the rises. Help has come in the form of a paper just published in Nature, which uses proxy temperature measurements and climate models to suggest that temperatures around the vast reef area

are the highest recorded in 400 years. Well, either way, if you look at it, if you do temperature modeling rather than temperature measurement, the reality is that it's had record growth. And the lies that they've told have not come true. In Berkeley, California, they tried to eliminate gas stoves. Like Ted Turner was saying, people got too much stuff got to take that too many people and they got too much stuff well they wanted to eliminate that and that was fought by the restaurant association because restaurant association needs gas in order to cook efficiently with gourmet food and other things.

We've talked about that in the past. And so they fought that regulation. They won in the Ninth Circuit Court, which is the most liberal court of appeals in the U.S. And so Berkeley has decided to regroup and come back in another way. So after they tried to ban, outright ban of gas stoves, now they're going to come back with a tax. They're going to do it more slowly.

They're going to do it from the inside and they're going to do it iteratively, step by step. And that'll be raising the taxes gradually. The city of Berkeley, California, voted July 30th to put an initiative on the upcoming ballot that would impose taxes on buildings that are 15,000 square feet or larger that use natural gas.

And so they're going to be coming after more of the people that are circling the drain because the commercial real estate bust. Now they're going to get a special tax there in Berkeley. AI Black Swan. Power prices are skyrocketing on both the East and the West Coast. Everything going up. At a time when the power grid is being destroyed as unreliable alternative energy replaces plentiful coal and natural gas, the massive power consumption by these gigantic AI data centers is quickly becoming the black swan event for American consumers.

How is this affecting us? Well, when you look at areas around Washington, D.C., Maryland and other places like that, where they have massive data centers associated with the government. They have massive new power requirements. Part of this is AI, but of course, and that's the new thing that's really dropped recently. But they had massive servers to keep records on everybody. And so it's creating a power shortage. And what happens is they have these auctions for power and who's going to generate it the you know the based on capacity and what the capacity is going to be

down the road and so they've had auctions and that's what this article is about the massive increase and the price of electricity in these future auctions and the fact they still don't have as much as they want the ai industry will pay play the greater good card on consumers says patrick wood at technocracy news he said they'll tell us that we need to sacrifice in the short term so they can use ai to restructure and reform society we We're going to have to sacrifice. We're going to do without power so we can have artificial intelligence to spy on us. To do surveillance on us. To censor us.

To propagandize us. Marylanders and residents in surrounding states should brace for rising power bills due to capacity constraints on the regional power grid and the increasing peak load from the new ai data centers this combination creates a perfect storm of continued utility bill inflation which will only pressure cash strapped households in the years ahead this may be one of the advantages of artificial intelligence you know i i really do believe that they are building a technological tower of Babel. This arrogance that just permeates that entire industry of big tech, but especially artificial intelligence. You hear them saying it over and over again. We're going to live forever.

We're going to be like gods. We're going to be all powerful. We're going to merge with the machines and so forth and as part of that they've essentially declared war on humanity you know zelon musk has said if you don't merge well then we're going to have the advantage of you it's kind of the art of like war that hugo daguerres was talking about these people these technocrats with their technology going to war with humans and demanding that we um we follow along them that we bow to them uh but the way it's reflecting right now is um the artificial intelligence may bring a jolt of reality to this climate macguffin now they will build nuclear power plants they may

build them quick and dirty you know because that's their motto you know go fast and break things you want those people building nuclear power plants do you think that these multi-billionaires are going to care about regulations to make it safe environmental regulations and the rest of that stuff. Elon Musk doesn't care about that. He doesn't care about road regulations where he was building his stuff in Elgin, Texas. He doesn't care about the road regulations. He doesn't care about zoning laws.

He doesn't care about dumping stuff into the Colorado River there. He doesn't care about any of that stuff. They give him fines. He says, okay, pay him. I don't care. And he keeps doing what he wants to do because the fines are nothing to him. What are these people going to do when they build that kind of mindset when they

start building nuclear power plants small ones small ones just for them their own personal nuclear power plant these people have so much power so much arrogance i'm just kind of waiting for god to knock them down i know it's going to happen like i said whenever i see yuval harari out there boasting about that and the contempt that he shows for god it's like that's an encouraging thing uh god will defend himself from these types of people and from from what they do more than 800% increase from the most recent auction in the price of power. Kind of in line with what we're seeing for the black Angus cows, isn't it? The auction even failed to procure the required level of capacity

in the two zones. And again, this is in Maryland and everything, but it's going to affect the mid atlantic uh eastern seaboard because you know they can sell power from nearby areas into that area but even around baltimore and so forth they can't get enough power even at an 800 increase and they've not yet even published the extent of the shortfall in these two zones. Well, we began with Ted Turner in 2008.

And let's hear from Paul Harvey. Stand by for news. Who talks about 10 years before Ted Turner was so excited about cannibalism and starvation and depopulation and all the rest of this stuff, Paul Harvey was talking about how ludicrous this whole climate thing was. And the issue of that time was the hole in the ozone that everybody's starting to freak out over. You know, you haven't heard that much about it lately. I don't think it's a problem. But anyway, here's Paul Harvey about 10 years before Ted Turner.

Barely a week goes by, but what some researcher tries to scare us or trick us out of research money by claiming that the sky is falling. And with the willing complicity of headline-hungry media, a recent crisis of the month had to do with global warming. An ozone hole is opening up over the United States, we were told, the effects of which were already measurable

in an increase in skin cancer. On the contrary, destroying chlorine around the polar vortex has been declining since January. A major objective of a recent shuttle mission was to determine the scope and scale of the so-called ozone hole and the silence since has been deafening from those whose livelihood depends on creating crises recent data from the upper atmosphere research satellites affirms that any problem is less it's not greater ozone levels fluctuate

all of the time, partly because of volcanic activity and solar flares. But MIT's technology review has made an exhaustive study of worldwide ocean temperatures since 1851, has concluded that there appears to have been little or no global warming over the past century. In fact, the net rise in world surface temperature during the last century, which was about 1%, almost all occurred before 1940, and that was before aerosols, and that has since been reversed. Former NASA chief Robert Jastrow and former Scripps director William Nirenberg, past president of the American Academy of Sciences, Frederick Seitz, all have concluded in a scathing rebuke of those

who make money by predicting global warming, quote, if we allow ourselves to be influenced by press release, we could spend a trillion dollars over the next decade destroying what's left of the American economy in an utterly unnecessary attempt to repeal the Industrial Revolution. Thank you. Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Analyzing the globalist's next move. And now, The David Knight Show. Yeah, I thought Paul Harvey, again, spot on as usual. 26 years ago, I guess it was. He said, this is all an attempt to repeal the Industrial Revolution. Yes, it is.

They've got their fourth Industrial Revolution. Or as Klaus Schwab calls it, the force. Industrial Revolution. Yeah, they're going to force it, the force. Industrial revolution. They're going to force you, all right. It's more force than forth. But again, solar flares, volcanoes, these things are the things that affect our climate and the temperature in general.

He knew it then. We all knew it. It's been around for a very long time. It's amazing to me what relentless lies and propaganda and censorship can do to push an agenda. Well, we also knew that the commercial real estate bust was in the cards once we had the lockdown that Trump imposed and incentivized, paid for everywhere. And now we see in San Francisco, they're offering free rent to businesses to return to the downtown area because of the collapse after the pandemic. Just as Gerald Slenty has always said from the very beginning, for four years he's been talking about this,

he said it's killing all the other businesses that are there as well. And so it's not just the big office buildings that are unoccupied, but it's also the storefronts, because when people didn't go to work, if you had a small shop, you went out of business as well, a small restaurant place, and so they've got an example in this article about what is happening in San Francisco. San Francisco has unoccupied storefronts, and it's been this way for years.

One of the shops is Paper Sun Coffee. It's been operating in the South Market neighborhood since June. Before that, the space had been empty for nearly three years, just as Gerald Slenty said. It shut down everything. And this is a lot of knock-on effects. By the way, if you want to get Trends Journal at TrendsJournal.com, you can save 10% with the code NIGHT.

And you can see where the coming trends are going to be. Again, he spotted this a long time ago. But one of the things that he's saying, which is still not talking about, is the knock-on effect. We're seeing a little bit of this knock-on effect with the smaller businesses also being put out of business a big knock-on effect is going to be the banks the small and medium-sized banks that are going to be put out of business because they have been uh it's been easier for them to make these commercial real estate loans because of the extra paperwork that was put in by Elizabeth Warren and her consumer financial

protection board, you know, to protect the consumers, we're going to shut down small, medium sized banks so that everybody gets their loans, consumer loans from the big banks because there's so much paperwork. So these guys go to the commercial real estate market and then Trump's idiotic lockdown and uh you know paying for people to

just go home and do nothing except it costs people their their businesses so now to try to revive this they're offering more subsidies they're offering rent free for six months that's it these people are already two months into it that's not not that big a deal. I mean, you know, we go back, um, we had our businesses starting about 40 years ago. Um, you would go in if they wanted you to, uh, uh, if they wanted you as a tenant, if they thought that you're going to drive traffic to the place. And of course, video stores that we had would drive a lot of traffic. and so if you had a successful video store you could get six months rent from them just to open up a store and it was

not really any big deal uh but um and that's what san francisco is offering only six months it's not going to pull them out at all this is not going to make any difference whatsoever but it is a harbinger of the economic problems to come. So people who work or live in the neighborhood stop in and are like, wow, there's now something here. And they're excited because it's all been empty for four years. Paper Sun is part of an initiative to help San Francisco return to the days before it became a devastating example of what could go wrong in U.S. cities during the so-called pandemic. The company was chosen to participate in their new program, which is called Vacant to Vibrant.

Oh, isn't that nice? Yeah, I'm sure that's going to work. Downtown San Francisco has the highest concentration of vacant storefronts in the city. Retail rents have historically been very high in the financial district, until something happened. But now these businesses have the ability to get their feet wet and to determine whether their concepts are viable in these locations. Under the program, city and business leaders provide free rent for only six months, as well as some other funding for business expenses and incentives like technical and business permit assistance to entrepreneurs who want to set up shop in empty spaces.

Many of these are on the ground floor of office buildings where people are still not going back to work. So how's that going to work out for them? And so what did six and a.5 trillion in money printing achieve? Now, this is from David Stockton. And understand, what he's talking about when he says $6.5 trillion in money printing, he's not talking about the $6.5 trillion that Trump and Biden threw away in terms of incentives, much of it fraudulent, wasted, abused, as we see with uh tim walls in minnesota you had these these uh criminal gang in a little mogadishu that was involved in criminal fraud

lying to get the money sending it abroad but then tim wallace's own labor department wasted more than twice as much as that criminal gang with fraud in terms of money that they put out that wasn't legitimate no david stockman's not talking about the stimulus checks and the ppp and the cares act and all this other stuff he's talking about the quantitative easing that was another six and a half trillion dollars going back to 2008 and so david stockman who is formerly the office of management and budget under the reagan administration said here we go again the fed has spent the last 16 years fueling the mother of all financial bubbles on wall street and by way of spillover effects on the mortgage market, it has fostered parallel bubbles in commercial and residential real estate assets alike across the length and breadth of the land.

Now these bubbles are once again bursting under the inexorable force of economic gravity. For example, unsupportable debt, absurd valuation multiples. But before the powers that be are able to rekindle yet another monetary rinse and repeat episode, the question recurs as to what has been accomplished since August of 2008 by adding $6.5 trillion in new printed money. He says the Industrial Production Index today stands hardly a tad above its August 2008 level. To be exact, the index has gained just 0.15% per annum during the last 16 years. Well, what had been the typical industrial production index increase from 1950 to 2008? 58 years.

It averaged 3.5% a year. But over the last 16 years, since they got involved in this quantitative easing stuff, it's only gone up 0.15 yeah it's not working and of course as i said earlier once all this stuff comes crashing down if it crashes down real hard and in a big way you will find that they will criminalize and censor any discussion of the federal reserve's role in all of this especially any um anyone talking about getting rid of the fed or even auditing the fed that'll be a criminal offense just like it was to talk about vaccines in a way that they didn't want them talked about but when we look at

inflation even though they printed all that money they had the industrial production index only go up by 0.15 percent instead of three and a5% a year that have been doing for the last 58 years. But now look at inflation. Cadbury has now doubled the prices of candy bars for the first time in a decade. It's the first time in a decade that they've increased the prices. And now what they've done is double them. Double them. Due to record global price of cocoa and increased input costs, we have adjusted the RRP from $1 to $2 of first price change in over a decade,

they said in an Instagram statement. Well, meanwhile, the World Bank is continuing down the path to CBDC. They are exploring, says Wine Press News, the World Bank is published on July 2nd, a document called Interoperability Between Central Bank Digital Currency Systems and Fast Payment Systems, a Technical Perspective. And so they're continuing to push on all of this. interoperability between central bank digital currency systems and fast payment systems a technical perspective and so they're continuing to push on all of this and they're doing it both wholesale and retail and again we talk about those two things wholesale is what is happening between

the central bank and the other banks and financial institutions uh that is called in the united states they've already got a name for that, and it's already operating, called FedNow. And then when they go to retail, that means that you will be using CBDC to purchase goods and services. You'll have a digital wallet and that type of thing. That is called FedCoin by the Federal Reserve. Now, they'll be quick to say, well, we're not actually going to do it.

Well, then why do you even have names for it? I mean, you've already gone through this. And we look in spring of 2022 in March of 2022. Joe Biden told every part of government to come back to him with a report. And one of four areas. How are you going to completely restructure the financial system how are you going to write the code how are you going to enforce it from a law standpoint and how you're going to market it to people using climate change and so there i got back to him in september of 2022 and immediately they came out and announced

that they were ready to roll out fed now which is the wholesale version of the cbdc but of course they denied that they had fed coin or that there was anything happening with it they just have a name it's just a concept that's not there yet right you believe that and so um it's interesting when you go back and you look at where did we first see Fed coin? It was first mentioned by the Federal Reserve in 2020. And that was one year after Steve Mnuchin, Trump's Treasury Secretary, and Jared Kushner were emailing each other. Email about how they needed to have a CBDC. And then a year later,

the feds got a name for it. It's got a program. So you see, it's not just Biden. It's also in the Trump administration. And quite frankly, I think that anybody that believes that Trump is going to stand in the way of CBDC is fooling themselves.

I don't see that at all. If he is selected, and it's not going to be an election, it's going to be a selection, they're going to be assured that he is not only going to do what they want, but it'll be because they're assured that he's going to be a pacifier in the mouth of anybody who would speak out against any of these measures. That was his role in his first term. Do they want that again this time,

or do they want to go straight to a revolution? Do they want to get everybody so emotionally and politically attached and involved to Trump that when they hand it to the other guy, these people are ready to have a revolution? Who knows? I mean, there isn't any way when you're this far out even if you had an honest election with opinion polls it really wouldn't give you an answer

but i don't think the elections really matter anymore i think they're going to hand it to whoever they wish who they believe will be able to do the most damage um by by their presence the philippines reports that businesses uh reports businesses and fines citizens for not using the national digital ideas i said when when biden put out his four different areas how are we going to completely restructure the financial system how are we going to enforce this right and then we got to write the code for it and we got to we got to market it to people using climate change well they have to have an enforcement mechanism right and they will use the department of justice and these other organizations to force people to do it we already see it happening in the philippines the philippines statistics authority director

recently told the public quote if there are establishments who will not accept this, please inform us because the penalty for this is really big. If I can share it, the penalty is going to be approximately $8,730 in U.S. That's pretty amazing. And so it's a call for snitches. It's the same thing that Tim Walz did. He had a call for snitches when It's the same thing that Tim Walz did. He had a call for snitches when they did the lockdown. If you see your neighbors having some activity,

if you see a church that's open, please report it to us or business, and we will shut them down and find them. Well, that's what they're doing with this. If you've got a business that is not using the new digital ID as required, well, report them and report the people. And, you know, there's going to be a finder's fee for that. Yeah, Stasi Society, where people participate in this.

Central Bank gold buying through the first half of 2024 sets a record. So what did they know that you should pay attention to? Despite Central Bank gold buying slowing moderately in the second quarter, it set a record through the first half of 2024. You know, when the central banks are doing this, central banks are really only worried about economic issues. They're worried about inflation and other things like that, but you need to be worried about central bank digital currency as well.

They don't have to worry about that. They don't care. That's something that is an issue for you, keeping your financial transaction privacy. Well, Kitco believes that gold will maintain its upward momentum as the Fed cuts rates and as there's going to be sovereign buying from the central banks and other governments

and that etf flows will support the price we just know that with inflation gold is going to be a good hedge against that but more than that more than the timing of when that's going to happen i think that gold is now more essential than ever because it is completely private. When you look at crypto and other things, only Monero and the PirateCoin, I believe is the name of it, I've had him on a couple of times,

I think it's the PirateCoin, only those have private transactions. And of course, who knows what's going to happen once they get um quantum computing in maybe they've already got it in some areas so they'll be able to track that type of stuff but uh when you have something physical uh they're not going to be able to wipe it out completely just take a look at every prohibition program that the government has done there's always going to be black markets and the black markets are going to rise and they're going to get more and more effective as these tyrants squeeze us harder and harder that was a good

line out of the star wars you know squeeze them you're going to find them going through your fingers and that's really what happens so again dav again, DavidKnight.Gold is going to take you to Tony Aardman if you want to try to have some kind of wealth insurance, some kind of an assurance of privacy. You can start accumulating gold and silver. You can do it with small or large transactions, and pretty unique to Tony's wise wolf is the fact that he's got Wolfpack, where you can, on a regular basis, start to accumulate gold and silver, and you can do it as part of a buying group and get a discount on that. That's at davidknight.gold. That'll take you to Tony Ardaban and let him know that you came through us. We're going to take a quick break, and when we come back,

we're going to take a look at politics. But I want to respond to some of the comments and tips before we take a break here on Rockfin. IRS machine gun. Thank you for the tip. You said that IRS machine gun will get you. That's what I was talking about earlier in terms of the standing army of IRS agents. That is a standing army we have here on Rumble. Mad Mem.

Thank you for the tip. How soon will you be interviewing Dr. Shiva? The TFH movement got him on the ballot in New Jersey and Lala Harris attorneys intervened. I saw that and I saw that over the weekend and I told Karen, I said

let's get him on. So I don't know what the status of that is, but we'll get him on as soon as we can. I do want to talk about ballot access. That is a key indicator of corruption and we're not going to have honest elections if we can't even have a choice as to who to vote for rumble michelle obama thank you for the tip compliments of your friends at the west michigan gallows and stocks on rumble stealth patriot thank you it says ashland city tennessee had our primary last week out of 6 000 residents only a little over 600 showed up to vote most all council positions

went unopposed we also got our first gay mayor okay well you know that's the issue. I got to say, when we look at what happened with Frank Nicely, very concerning to see big money targeting local state races. The window of opportunity is closing pretty fast. These people have so much money, they can focus on any race anywhere. And of course, Senator Nicely, among other things, he worked to try to get us some financial, let's say, kind of a backup plan, hedging against the Federal Reserve and what might happen, trying to get Tennessee to start to own gold, trying to make it easier for people to own and accumulate and store gold. And then he put in a bill to stop outside funding of races. And he was going to limit it to 30% of what people spent. They appear to have targeted him. I have never in all of my life seen such an egregious campaign as was run against him.

Constant phone calls, constant cards. And of course, these cards look exactly like the cards that we've seen being paid for by these Democrat campaigns. And Tennessee Conservative did a background check on it, found ties from this guy to a wealthy Walmart family, the Walton Fund. It's tied into Aspen Institute and other left-wing causes. And every single one of these flyers said absolutely nothing about the issues

or the background or the plans or anything of this particular candidate. All it was was lies about nicely, showing pictures of him next to Joe Biden. And it's just the most juvenile garbage i've ever seen and people went for it evidently and so it's an example of what happens with outside money and it's what happens if we don't get involved in the primaries because once you get past the primaries many times you don't really have a choice after that and um you know you wind up with a candidate that i don't really care if choice after that and um you know you wind up with a candidate that i don't really care if this guy wins or the democrat wins quite frankly it doesn't really make

much difference at all so evidently in ashland city tennessee same type of thing happening well we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back Thank you. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Well, i have been talking for more than a decade about smartmatic and lo and behold i mentioned it on friday and lo and behold after the show i saw that the founder and president of smartmatic was just indicted on a million dollar bribery and money laundering charge what a. These people who created this company for communist Hugo Chavez in Venezuela to make sure that he won the elections, that he always won all of the elections.

This same company, Smartmatic, that has been involved in one scandal after the other from the Philippines to Brazil to various Mexicanican states as well as in the united states accusations of things not being on the up and up what a surprise what a surprise the company whose voting machines and software are quote-unquote trusted around the world they provide security for elections says says Zero Hedge. He was indicted by a federal grand jury on Thursday, along with two other company officials on charges involving bribery

and money laundering scheme used to secure election contracts in the Philippines. There has been nothing but complaints in the Philippines about their electronic voting for the longest time. And even to the extent that some of the people in the election commission in the Philippines even barred Smartmatic from competing on the contracts. And that was overturned by the Supreme Court. Said you can't do that. Well, what did they know?

Well, the alleged payment of a million dollars in bribes, the former chairman of the Philippines Commission on Elections. Oh, the name is Batista. These bribes were allegedly paid to obtain and retain business related to providing voting machines and election services for the 2016 Philippine elections. To secure payments on the contracts, including the release of value-added tax payments. According to the indictment from the U.S. Department of Justice, the alleged co-conspirators financed the bribes by over-invoicing the cost per voting machine used in the elections. To hide their crime, prosecutors say they used coded language to refer to a slush fund

used to make the illicit payments, causing the creation of fraudulent contracts and fake loan agreements to make the transfers appear to be legitimate. That's very clever. Do you think they might be able to speak, if they can speak in code, about the structures that they've set up there? Do you think they might be clever enough to do some encoding with machines to hide things that are happening there?

The defendants then allegedly laundered the funds related to the bribery scheme via a constellation of international bank accounts in Asia, Europe, and the United States, including the Southern District of Florida. And so that is where they are coming after them. So Batista, Pignate, Vasquez, and Eli Marino, 44 dual citizen of Venezuela and Israel, are each charged with one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering,

three counts of international laundering of monetary instruments. If convicted, each of them face a maximum penalty of 20 years for each count. Isn't that interesting? You know, the Justice Department wanted, I think, 34, 35 years for Joe Biggs, who did nothing but walk into a building. He didn't get violent with anybody. He was exercising his First Amendment rights.

They were livid that he only got 17 years, and they want to appeal that sentencing for that. And you look at all the different sentences that have been imposed on people at J6 who are exercising, again, their constitutional rights to peacefully assemble. There are some people who are not peaceable. Fine. They can get charged, but decades uh for that type of

thing and not for the people who are peacefully there protesting and speaking out addressing their grievances with this stuff but the people who are at the center of this stuff smartmatic they are only looking for 20 years from them. No, not 35, 20. Smartmatic has won the largest election contract in U.S. history in L.A. recently. So I guess the elections in California aren't going to be changing anytime soon either. No voter fraud. So in response to this, Smartmatic says, no voter fraud has been been alleged it's just run and founded by crooks right what have we established crooks but i haven't established any voter fraud yet right i'm sure that it was completely honest don't you think uh no voter fraud has been alleged

and smartmatic is not indicted voters worldwide must be assured the elections they participate in are conducted with the utmost integrity and transparency. These are the values that Smartmatic lives by. All their founders and executives have been indicted in fraud and money laundering and all the rest of the stuff, but they live by the values of integrity and transparency. Okay. That's the statement from the company. So meanwhile,

when we look at the rest of this election, we have the Associated Press coming out and making a really bizarre statement, essentially saying they don't matter. They're irrelevant. You know, there's been a lot of criticism about the fact that Lala Harris has not done a press conference.

We're beginning our, you know, four weeks now of her being selected and having the guy that was the only candidate allowed by the Democrats, not going to let Cornel West or RFK Jr. or anybody else on the ballot as a Democrat. And then they just throw all that out and install her. And she hasn't done a single press conference, not one. She hasn't done a single sit down interview.

And so to cover for her, associated press which i call associated propaganda because that's all they are they're associated with the democrats with left-wing causes associated propaganda ap says the candidate sit down interview ain't what it used to be show a picture of her there and it's what they do is they put up a picture of her talking to somebody as if she's doing an interview. She didn't. The vice president hasn't given an interview and has barely engaged with reporters since becoming the Democrat choice to replace Biden.

But for journalists, the larger lesson is that their role as presidential gatekeepers is probably diminishing forever, says the Associated Press. In other words, we are irrelevant. Well, your role has been irrelevant for a long time as a gatekeeper, Associated Press. But I don't need to interview Lala Harris to glean information from her.

But it is necessary to get her comments on the record that's important and it's also important to look at her record and she does have a record as a prosecutor as i said it is absolutely astounding that there's nothing but crickets from the trump administration over this very very key issue of abortion That is her number one issue. And she wants to ride that issue to the White House. I'm for women. And the Republicans are against women and so forth. Well, she was the prosecutor who came after the people who exposed the criminal actions,

the people who were essentially doing, violating the partial birth abortion ban and killing babies for their organs. And she came after not the murderers and not the people who hired them. She came after the whistleblowers, the Center for Medical Progress and David Daleiden. And so we just had a new video that dropped with that. And I said, this is a gift to them. If they don't have the stomach or the backbone to show what abortion is and actually have a conversation about it what

are we talking about here right what are we talking about when we talk about abortion well show people what it is so if you can't do that you can at least talk about the hypocrisy and they don't even have to talk about the hypocrisy of being pro-choice, my body, my choice. Because, again, the Republicans have got big problems in that area since they denied people, denied all of us our choices to make about health care. Not just women, but men, everybody, men, women, children. When it came to masks, when it came to social distancing, when it came to vaccines, when it came to vaccines when it came to religious and medical exemptions they denied all of that to us both republicans and democrats so i understand why uh trump and the gop don't want to talk about that because they were part of the problem however here is something that they could easily take and they won't do it she is so vulnerable if you talk

about the issues and yet trump doesn't want to talk about the issues. He wants to make himself the issue. He wants to make her the issue. And so when somebody approached her at one of the times that she's getting on and off of a plane, where she's not speaking off of a teleprompter, they said, when are you going to have a sit-down, in-depth interview? Well, I've talked to my team, and I want us to get an interview together by the end of the month.

So our goal is to have an interview, an interview, singular, an interview scheduled after two months. I'm so disgusted with the politics because nobody on either side wants to talk about any issues. And let me tell you what the issue is the federal government. The issue is the idea that anybody can and the federal government is going to do anything to help us. That anybody in the federal government is going to honor the Constitution or their oath to the bill of rights or any of that stuff that is the issue they don't care about any of this stuff the only way that's going to happen is at state state and local level and already at the state level you got the big outside money

coming in and manipulating those elections so it is important to get their statements on the record it is important to take a look at their record but of course associate press doesn't want to look at record and they don't want to get her on record and they admit that they are irrelevant and they are they're nothing but a propaganda organization and so lala Harris, well, before we leave her getting on the ballot, we had Joe Biden talking about what took him off. Actually, I don't think I gave that to you. I had that clip, but I didn't put it in there. But we do have Joe Biden when they did the prisoner exchange. And he and Lala are there she showed up

um you know he's actually done more talking he said yeah they wanted to the democrats thought i was going to hurt him unless so they made me get out uh but he showed up on the tarmac with her and he's just kind of wandering around not knowing what's going on she says a little bit to the press in terms of prepared statement here he's wandering around now the people have already come off of the plane they've already made statements and joe biden kind of wanders on the plane and everybody's looking at him like what is going on is people joked and said did he think that he was part of the prisoner exchange he gets on the plane and he stays on there for a while and they're

all just looking up at the stairs and like what is happening with this thing it is a clown show and yet even joe biden has done a sit-down interview we talked about how they kicked him off um so i'm on rockfin dougaluck thank you for the tips i just got paid today got me a pocket full of change uh zZ Top reference. Thank you, David and crew. Thank you very much. I appreciate that. So she does have one issue that she did.

She says that she wants to do something that somebody else said he was going to do. Trump said he'd do this as well. And eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers. Yeah, there we go. Okay. Eliminate tax on tips. But, of course, only for hospitable workers or whatever. Hospitality workers.

You've got to be hospitable. And so that's exactly what Trump had said. And she said it exactly where he said it, in Las Vegas. Isn't that interesting? Harris stole one of Trump's defining policy stances, says Zero Hedge. Social media reacted by the hashtag copycat Kamala to the top of twitter's politics trending list while tax savvy observers side knowing that the policy is riddled with drawbacks is it is it really seriously zero hedge you're gonna go with this idea that the income tax is necessary for us to balance the 35 trillion

dollar deficit they haven't cared about that forever that's how we got to 35 trillion dollars that the income tax is necessary for us to balance the $35 trillion deficit. They haven't cared about that forever. That's how we got to $35 trillion. That income tax hasn't come close to their spending forever. That's how we got to $35 trillion. And every time somebody talks about even the smallest tax cut when it has to do with somebody outside of Wall Street. Wall Street, that's okay. But if it has to do with somebody outside of Wall Street, we? Wall Street, that's okay. But if it has to do with somebody outside of Wall Street,

here we got both parties are saying this. Then you got the people coming in, the Office of Management and Budget and so forth, wringing their hands. Oh, we can't afford that. Or you got Bernie Sanders. They're looting the treasury. After these people have been looting our pockets

for the longest time. Harris didn't just steal the idea. She even stole the idea of where to announce it in Vegas. From a pure retail politics point of view, Trump's proposal was brilliant as it outflanked the Democrats in appealing directly to low-income working class people. And so she just shattered that by blatantly copying Trump's no tax on tips. Well, let me say that i've had some experience with

the same type of thing i was campaign manager for scott mclaughlin when he was running for governor in north carolina in 1992 i think was the year and um said okay so we got the sales tax on food in north carolina a lot of states don't have sales tax on food didn't have sales tax on food in north carolina a lot of states don't have sales tax on food didn't have sales tax on food a lot of them at that point in time so we set up we decided that we were going we got together some money to run some commercials on cable channels and they had a really cheap rate where they would run your your um commercial on a set of about a dozen different cable channels you didn't know when it was going to run you had to kind of trust them that they're going to do it you didn't know when it was going to run and you didn't know what channel what time it was going

to run but you could just just throw it in there whenever they had an unsold spot and so we did that and we filmed that commercial in our kitchen and we had scott there with a bag of groceries and uh um we played this revolutionary war uh thing we said the the revolutionary war was fought over a three percent tax on tea yeah we're oversimplifying things okay but you get the idea it's fought over a three percent tax on tea and today we are taxed whatever it was five six percent or something like that on everything that we eat and it's time for us to change that and so it's a real short commercial it's only about 30 seconds and he says if i'm elected, we're going to get rid of the sales tax on food. End of story.

It didn't take but a couple of weeks of running that commercial on these small cable channels in the weird hours of the day. Didn't take very long for the Democrats to catch on. And Dan Blue was a Speaker of the House running the Democrats, and he came out and he said, if you really like the Democrats, we're going to get rid of the sales tax on food. And I just went back and looked.

That made me think about that when I saw Lala Harris copy what Trump said about that. And so I went back to look to see what the situation was in North Carolina, and they've got a very complicated situation. They've got one tax if you eat food and a restaurant it's like an additional one percent and if you buy food to take home it's another two percent and if you get it partially prepared and then they have all kinds of exceptions for some things and higher taxes for other things but the bottom line is they still tax food. Still tax food. And this election cycle, you got somebody,

I forget whether it's Republican or Democrat, it doesn't matter because they're not going to do it. Campaigning and saying, you know, we need to take a look at that. Yeah, we looked at it 32 years ago. So they're still taxing it. And, you you know you got both la la and trump saying it and i'd be willing to place a bet that regardless of whichever one wins they're not going to do it they're not going to do it uh jd vance says this is a fundamentally fake person talking about Lala Harris. Imagine that, you know, saying somebody. Well, la-di-da, la-di-da, la-la, yeah. Yeah, yeah, she's fundamentally fake. Who knew? She only speaks to voters behind a teleprompter and everything else is scripted,

and she doesn't have her policy positions out there. Yeah, well, you know i've again you see these policy positions over and over again and they ignore them she should have to answer for why she presents a different set of policies to one audience and a different set of policies to another audience he said but of course they're not going to do that and um so he was in a very interesting back and forth with Dana Bash. And he completely owned her. He said, all right, we've been here for five minutes. And he says, you've asked me three times about past statements. He goes, when are you ever going to interview Harris?

Well, believe me, we want to, and we've tried and he says okay well fine uh you got me here now why don't you ask me some issues about what's going on now i mean he completely owned her uh but trump is not even wanting to talk about issues what trump wants to talk about is willie brown and lala harris's And yeah, it is, I brought that up because I think it does help to define her character, just like the lawsuits against Trump helped to define his character as well. There wasn't any crimes there. And of course, it was a persecution that was there, but they did it simply to remind people of his philandering background.

And that's the reason why Trump is bringing up Willie Brown to remind people of how Lala Harris slept her way to the top. Maggie Haberman at the New York Times said Friday night that Trump had phoned her after his airplane was forced into an emergency landing in Montana to rail against the New York Times coverage of his Thursday press conference. So he actually had a press conference. But did he talk about issues? No. He talked about personal things and personal attacks.

And of course, he has this relationship with Maggie Haberman at the New York Times. He has given these people over and over again, these hardcore left-wing establishment people like her. He keeps giving them access because he really wants to be thought of by the establishment press and respected by them. And they keep stabbing him every time he does an interview and he keeps doing it over and over again he keeps coming back for the abuse he was reportedly fuming about a refuted claim that he once boarded a helicopter with former san francisco mayor willie brown and threatened to sue the times over its coverage of the story that's how she got her start there he was mayor and he made her district attorney or prosecuting attorney or something like that he had also been a very

powerful politician in california as the speaker of the house there for the democrats uh but he said um yeah i know willie brown very well in fact i went on a helicopter with him we thought maybe this was the end we're in a helicopter going to certain location there was an emergency landing it would not was not a pleasant landing and willie was he was a little concerned so i know him i know him pretty well i mean i haven't seen him for years brown denied the story multiple times on friday according to haberman trump was agitated after his plane touched down in billings montana, after a reported mechanical issue. She said Trump on Friday vehemently maintained that he'd once been in a dangerous helicopter landing with Willie Brown, despite Brown's denial. And she said in an angry phone call to New York Times reporters, he landed several hours away from his planned rally in bozeman montana because of mechanical issue he excoriated the times for his coverage of his meandering news conference on

thursday at mar-a-lago his private club and home during which he told of emergency landing that both he and brown had made together he says we have flight records of the helicopter he said it had landed in a field and indicated that he had intended to release the flight records before shouting that he was probably going to sue over the Times article. Brown said multiple times on Friday, I have never been in a helicopter with Trump in my life. And so why is that so important to Trump? And he doesn't want to talk about issues, right? And then here's an issue, an issue of fake donors act blue

and i said isn't it interesting that you know we've had a couple reports we had one that was done by project veritas based on research that was done by another organization somebody else did the same story in a different location i think he did his up in the maryland area or something somebody did it i think in florida but act blue is a an organization that is collecting money for democrats and people notice on the list that you had some individuals who are making multiple donations a day and i mean a lot of different small donations per day and then these small donations that why would somebody do that you know why would you donate five dollars ten dollars fifty dollars and do it multiple times a day same day and then totaling these things up ten twenty thousand

dollars so they went to some of these places and these people many of them are living in very modest homes they're retired on social security they said well i wish i had the kind of money to do that but i don't have that kind of money in other words they had donated to democrats on act blue before act blue had their names and now there was all these donations being made in the names of these people who's paying for that where's that money coming from obviously it's money laundering that's going on i played for you the clip from breaking bad where the criminal lawyer uh saul goodman explains how this is going to work i mean it's exactly the same plot somebody is providing that money and they're laundering it through act blue

so i said where are the attorney generals well the virginia attorney general said he's going to look into it and uh several different states have said that um you have virginia wyoming missouri have launched investigations into act blue and te Texas, Ken Paxton, the attorney general there, has talked to them. His issue, apparently, according to this Epoch Times story, Paxton said in an August 8th statement that ActBlue had cooperated with a Texas investigation and will now require the CVV codes codes for the credit card contributions that's it that's it see this is another indication that this is not these people that's making the donation let me just ask you you've probably made some online purchases have you ever made an online

purchase where they didn't require that three digit code that's on the back of your card to make sure that's you to make sure that you physically have the card, and that it's not being reprocessed through by the same vendor? Have you ever been able to buy anything online without that three-digit code? Why is Ken Paxton giving them a pass on this stuff i mean to me that is another big red flag of fraud they got all that information except for that three-digit code they got all the other information credit card information from these people who made one donation and now they're using these people to make you know 10 donations a day and then over a period of several months, tens of thousands of dollars of donations. That is amazing to me.

Certain features of the campaign finance law may incentivize bad actors to use platforms like ActBlue to covertly move money to political campaigns to evade legal requirements, said Ken Paxton. He said they've been the subject of numerous allegations of illicit activity, including that its platform may enable fraud. I don't know. To me, I mean, this is smoking gun. Everything that we're seeing, these interviews of these people, why there would be this many small contributions made in a single day, the fact they don't get this three-digit code. ActBlue has denied any wrongdoing.

This investigation is nothing more than a partisan political attack and a scare tactic to undermine the power of Democrat and progressive small-dollar donors. These small-dollar donors are not the ones who are making it. They're the ones that are being used to launder the big donations that are coming in and so Republicans are complaining about this and yet they mention the fact that the media group found similar anomalies in data from a Republican platform similar to ActBlue. The Republican version is WinRed. The House Administration Committee does not appear to be investigating the WinRed fundraising organization. You see what's happening here?

They probably won't do an investigation of ActBlue, even at the state attorney general level, too deep. Because they're doing the same thing. Like I said before, they're not interested in reforming the elections because they've each got their little areas where they can rig the elections. The whole thing is a scam meanwhile the other big issue to break over the weekend was not you know what are they going to do about uh restoring the bill of rights and free protecting free speech or stopping wars or stopping the cbdc stuff yes we got a promise from trump about that uh but i'd like to see a little bit more details on that before I buy into that. And even with the details, I wouldn't believe it.

But anyway, the big issue, big issue is the false Harris AI crowd size, supposedly. And so there's a lot of back and forth pictures. There was an airport in Michigan on the tarmac. A large crowd gathered to cheer Harris. And they had pictures of that. Some people said, look, zoom in on the side of this plane. And you don't see the people reflected in it. It's like, well, okay um that was interesting but then there were all these

other pictures that people had posted up on social media as well as pictures from um uh what's the name of the people that have getty photo photography and they are at least have been up to this point, real sticklers about not allowing any Photoshopping of anything at all. And so you had one guy who's got, I think, 700,000 people put this idea out there that I don't know where it originated from, but he put it out there. And it went viral and Trump picked it up and said that they have put in a fake AI crowd. Has anyone noticed that Lala cheated at the airport? There was nobody in the plane and she AI'd it and showed a massive crowd of so-called followers, but they didn't exist, said Trump on his social media platform. CNBC licensed a Getty Images photo for the story that matches the photos being circulated. The real issue, I think, in terms of her crowds,

and again, this is comparing the sizes of crowds. That's what he's interested in because it's all about celebrity. It's about reality TV. It's about ego. It's not about us. It's not about issues. And you can't trust these people with any issues. Four years of each of them in the White House has shown us that they cannot be trusted to keep their word on the issues. And yet it is simply for him about his ego a deeply wounded narcissist incapable of acting except out of his own perceived interest or out of revenge he's not going to do anything for you and so it was kind of interesting to see the back and forth of this and somebody

said okay here it is before and after now i'm going to play this for you and so it purports to show um in this you have the plane and you have uh la la and somebody else coming down the stairs right and there's no crowd and they go and then the crowd comes in and you see the picture that's there and yet look at what happens to the stairs the stairs look like they're an escalator going up as she's walking down look at that i'm telling you that is the ai fake right there those stairs and say as the crowd comes in you don't see those stairs going up again what do you make of that well i don't know i'm telling you that i don't think that's an issue but why is he so focused

on this because it's all about him that's why they're going to go to the mat over whether this was ai or not meanwhile the babble and b says the trump campaign is wondering if it's supposed to be doing something right now uh campaign chair chris lascivita says um so uh do we need to like do anything as he's looking at the poll numbers going down are we supposed to be like going to battleground states or running ads on tv i don't know i'm just starting to feel like maybe we should be doing some sort of job or something maybe there's some issues out there maybe there's something that needs to be fixed with a country maybe you could debate them on some ideas no you're so focused on crowd size and on And again, the people are showing up at most of these events because there is a musical group that's there.

They did that in Atlanta. Then they did it again in Iowa. Now, at that particular venue there, I don't know if there was a music group. But I've got to say that from what I've seen, I think that Trump and the rest of the crowd are chasing a chimera. I don't think that that is faked by AI. I think that picture that I showed you, I think, is faked by AI. We're going to take a quick break, and we'll be right back. They're doing what in the place they named after me?

Good thing I have The David Knight Show to keep me informed on the plots of these traitors. Making sense common again. This is the David Knight Show. Many of you may have seen this commercial. This is the Charger commercial. The British troops are lined up. There's Washington on the wheel of a Charger. Here's a couple of things America got right.

Cars and freedom. If only it were that simple, right? And, of course, we got a couple of things right. We got cars right. We got freedom. But, of course, they stopped making the Charger as of February this year. They announced in 2023 that it was going to be the final call. And, of course, they made that happen.

And so there are no more Chargers. And they're working really hard to get rid of freedom as well. Meanwhile, we have massive fires being reported everywhere. Huge fire sparked by Mercedes-Benz EV adds to the safety concerns dogging the industry. This was a fire in South Korea. It was a fire that happened in a parking garage. It took just seconds for an underground South Korean residential parking lot to be engulfed in flames. The culprit, a Mercedes-B eqe electric vehicle that wasn't even charging the blaze incinerated dozens of cars nearby scorched a further 100 vehicles

100 vehicles and forced hundreds of residents to emergency shelters as the buildings above the parking lot lost power and electricity nobody died that's good nobody died but the fire took eight hours to extinguish now how many times have we seen this movie before we've had situations where you've had uh a ship transporting cars many of them expensive luxury hyper cars and stuff million dollar cars and a bunch of cars and the entire you know we had electric vehicle fire and it took out the entire ship and all the other cars you've had situations caught on video camera where there was spontaneous combustion and other parking garages i've played that for people many times. And of course, when there is an accident,

you have a tremendous amount of fire. There were so many fires, spontaneous fires, with electric buses in Paris and Hamburg, and I think the other German city was Munich, that they got rid of them. And I've showed pictures of a Paris bus that was pulled over to the side, not charging, not moving, and all of a sudden, boom, explosion and the battery starts burning. And when it happened in Germany, the electric bus that caught fire

had the other electric buses catching fire, took out the entire bus station. So we've seen this type of thing happening over and over again. There was another accident where two electric cars collided. That's the first time I've seen two electric cars collide. And the inferno and the explosions that continued periodically and how long that went absolutely insane now we've had the first fatal collision of a tesla cyber truck crashed near houston texas a tesla cyber truck owner was incinerated alive after the electric vehicle crashed and burst into flames.

The fatal crash is believed to be the first for the new Tesla Cybertruck as Trump called it the Elon when it was given to him by that TikTok influencer. He called it the Elon. So the first, first person to be killed by an Elon. This is in the Baytown area of Houston. The crash happened for unknown reasons he crashed into a concrete drainage channel or culvert the intense fire that followed left the owner's body and the truck's identifying features such as license plate and then unrecognizable in the charred ruins how's that you get trapped into the car and incinerated alive.

Dr. Apareo Reo, a physicist at Clemson University, explained that a typical runaway battery fire in an EV burns at approximately 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit, which is enough to melt most metals including the cyber truck's stainless steel and so i thought about that you know we always talk about the melting point of steel um tucker carlson thought that was really strange when people would talk to him about 9-11 they

would ask him rhetorical questions like what's the melting point of steel he goes you know these people are crazy you talk to them they want to you, you know, what is the free fall velocity and what is the melting point of steel and all the rest of this stuff. But of course, now he's on your side, of course, right? He hasn't really walked back any of that stuff. He would shut down people who were showing pictures of the free fall, but not even allow it. You know, he'd just get them on to Hector them and try to humiliate them on air. But, you know, when you look at this, what is the open air burn temperature of jet fuel 1 890 degrees fahrenheit the temperature these batteries run at is 5 000 you don't need planes to take down the

world trade center you could do it with cyber trucks or you could do it with electric buses or whatever no actually you're not going to bring it down even that far but uh seriously uh it's significantly hotter than jet fuel and an open air burn which is 1890 degrees. These battery fires and EVs, all of them, 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Hot enough to melt steel. The jet fuel is not, but the EV fires are hot enough to melt steel. And then we had a 48-hour traffic jam because of a truck that was carrying a truckload of lithium batteries caught fire. This was in the desert on the way between LA and Las Vegas, I believe, and backed things up for 48 hours in that area. Look at that's absolutely amazing but you know this is just a

few of these vehicles out there and we're getting this type of thing some ex-users described it as carmageddon uh it was a truck that overturned that was carrying lithium-ion batteries ignited on fire crews uh tried to grade the dirt around the trailer a lot of hazardous material as well you want to talk about emissions yeah what kind of stuff comes out of the burning batteries it says people stuck on i-40 for many hours running out of gas and water due to the lithium battery fire again on the way to la stuck out there in that desert for 48 hours. Well, they want to get us all stuck in something like that.
