Starting point is 00:00:00 Happiness. We all know what it feels like, but sometimes it doesn't come easy. I'm Garvey Bailey, the host of Happy Enough, a new podcast from The Globe and Mail about our pursuit of happiness. We know people want to live more fulfilling and positive lives, but how do we actually do that? Is there a happiness code to crack? From our relationship with technology to whether money can really buy you happiness, we'll hear from both real people and experts to demystify this thing we're all searching for and hopefully find ways to be happy enough. You can find Happy Enough wherever you listen to podcasts. Using free speech to free minds. You're listening to The David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it's Monday, the 26th of February, Year of Our Lord 2024.
Starting point is 00:01:39 Well, over the weekend, we had the South Carolina primary, and I know that everybody is so focused on the presidential race, so we'll talk a little bit about that. We'll talk a little bit more about what happened at CPAC. Because the elephant in the room is Donald Trump. And he's rampaging through the Republican Party. He's destroying it from the inside out, like a rampaging elephant. We will talk about that.
Starting point is 00:02:04 But we'll also talk about what i want to call christian localism folks it's not donald trump it's focusing on what's happening locally local and state that's the only way you're going to stop this globalist government and guess what the globalist government is headquartered in washington D.C. Global governance. And we're the ones doing it right now. Our wars and everything else. We'll be right back. And as I mentioned the wars and everything else we had also over the weekend, I'll just mention it in passing. We may get to a little bit more detail what is happening with our various wars around the world. You know, we got got to keep these things going. You you know we're like some juggler on ed sullivan we got five
Starting point is 00:03:10 plates spinning all of them wars and we got to give you this one and that one that one you know while they're playing the circus music the election we had some guy immolate himself uh dressed in an airman's uniform uh last i looked there was no information about his identity whether or not he was active military former military but he had an airman's uniform on he says um he's not going to be a part of this genocide in gaza look folks there are some things that we can't do anything about in Washington, but we can stop the genocide of Americans, the democide of Americans. And we start by not cheering on these people who created the poison, who cheered the poison, and every single one of these Democrats and Republicans have got their hands in that poison.
Starting point is 00:04:03 And that's one of the reasons why nothing is being done. We got someone in Australia, a doctor, who said, I'm not going to be a part of this vaccination thing. Resigned. And is now running for political office. And the AMA, that's the Australian Medical Association, not the American Medical Association, but just like the American Medical Association, completely political, not medical. We're not going to have informed consent. We're not going to have doctor-patient.
Starting point is 00:04:31 Instead, no, we're going to have politicians and police decide what you're going to take. And so the AMA down there, the Australian Medical Association, wants her off the ballot. Get her off the ballot. This is what's happened to the West. We don't like somebody. We don't just oppose them. We take them off the ballot get her off the ballot this is what's happened to the west we don't like somebody we don't just oppose them we take them off the ballot that is what's that look i i absolutely do not support trump and you all know that but he should not be removed from the ballot i don't like censorship but you got cpac removing journalists that they don't like we have become what we fought that the republican and democrat parties are mirror image of each other with some minor
Starting point is 00:05:15 variations over some wedge issues that they have always chosen in the past issues by the way that they never do anything to stop because they want to propagate those wedge issues. Those are the things that distinguish them from the other people. Yeah, it's like their uniform. And they're not going to change that. So let's talk first a little bit about the South Carolina primary. We'll make the politics stuff here short. Because it's really not where our solutions lie.
Starting point is 00:05:42 But I know everybody wants to hear it. And I am totally politically homeless you know we used to joke about that with the libertarian party they used to go around with a nolan chart and they would go to college campuses and they would give them 10 questions 10 questions on economic liberty and 10 questions on civil liberties now this is before vaccine mandates and things like that. Uh, but they give them 10 questions of each and then they would plot it out on a two dimensional space, not on the line where you got, you know, Stalin on the extreme left and you got Hitler on the extreme right or whatever. No, no, they're both down at the bottom.
Starting point is 00:06:20 On the Nolan chart, they're both totalitarian authoritarian dictatorships, if you will. And although they use a different rationale to get their dictatorship, it's the same living under either one of them, essentially. You watch out for the leader, he's going to get you. Anyway, so they called it Operation Politically Homeless. Well, I'll tell you what, I truly am homeless now. I don't even support libertarians because they threw away the non-aggression principle a long time ago. They ran people like Gary Johnson and then Joe Jorgensen, who I knew, personally knew from being involved back in the 90s and the early 2000s.
Starting point is 00:07:09 She was running mate for Harry Brown, and she absolutely did not care at all about what was happening in 2020. I'm done. If you don't care what happened in 2020, I don't want to have anything to do with you politically. You either resist that and you speak against it, or I don't care what you have to say, because that is so far away from the Constitution. That's so far away from the Constitution. That's so far away from freedom. And that's the path to global tyranny and democide. Global murder on a scale that nobody is talking about. Yeah, we can talk about these wars.
Starting point is 00:07:37 Let me tell you something. You know, the people that Netanyahu is killing in Gaza is nothing compared to his own people that he killed and is killing in slow motion with this poison that he was so proud of that he called the World Economic Forum to brag about. We need to start focusing on that war, on the COVID war. Nobody wants to talk about the COVID war because everybody's got a hand in it. And even the Republicans who understand the COVID war, see, this is why I'm homeless, because, you know, the Republicans who would agree with me on policies, and I agree with them on policies, but they are worshiping at the feet of Donald Trump, who does not agree with them on any of these policies, and who has done exactly the opposite. Even when you talk about the border, he didn't do anything about about the border why do we have this problem if he fixed the border
Starting point is 00:08:27 did he build a wall and joe biden tear it down no the wall was never built and the wall wasn't going to stop him anyway it was a welfare magnet and trump didn't do anything about that so we have a situation where you've got the establishment Republicans, the RINOs. They're a Republican name only. They were globalists. They opposed Trump. Oh, well, then that means that Trump is anti. No, it doesn't.
Starting point is 00:08:53 Doesn't mean that he's anti-globalist. That means that they want to present him as anti-globalist. Go back and look at the trust that was run by Felix Dzerzhinsky, the Cheka, the predecessor to the KGB. The Bolsheviks ran their opposition. The globalists are running their opposition, Trump. So the Republicans, who know better, will not associate Trump with his policies. And so because they don't cheer Trump, I'm their enemy. I oppose the establishment Republicans,
Starting point is 00:09:30 like Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell, who want war, who want climate change, and all the rest of this stuff. I oppose them. There's no place for me there either. And there certainly isn't any place for me in the Democrats. They're full-on communists. Communists. perverted communists
Starting point is 00:09:47 at that even in lenin's russia they didn't advocate the kind of pedophilia and mutilation of children that the democrats push not even there not even lenin stooped as low as Biden. I'm politically homeless. So we have to focus not on, we have to understand what these people are doing. We have not put our hopes on national politics. If we do, we're going to wind up just pouring fire on ourselves and lighting a match or pouring a gasoline ourselves and lighting a match like that guy did.
Starting point is 00:10:23 I hate to see that. I've known people who have committed suicide, hopeless and in despair. And to a man, they have not had Christ in their life. That is the foundation of our life. So five takeaways from South Carolina. Take out the trash take out mickey haley that's the first takeaway uh no that's not going to happen quite frankly uh anyway uh trump did better in south carolina in mickey haley's home state. Then he did even in New Hampshire. And I said that in New Hampshire, you remember Nikki Haley was playing the race card and she was talking about those hateful racists that she grew up with in South Carolina.
Starting point is 00:11:13 You know, the ones who elected her governor twice, they hate her so much because of her Indian background that they elected her twice. This is like the Obama's playing the race card. Are you seriously going to play the race card? After you got elected president twice, Nikki Haley's going to play the race card because that's what these people do i said well good luck going to south carolina after you pull that trick you think the people in south carolina don't have tv sets and internet. They know what you said in North Carolina and New Hampshire. So, but you know, just like we see a North Korean election, Biden was the only one on the ballot on the Democrat side.
Starting point is 00:11:54 By the way, he won big surprise there when you're only the only one on the ballot. I mean, this is what we've gotten to. We're going to finish up the primary season with Trump, the only candidate on the ballot. I mean, this is what we've gotten to. We're going to finish up the primary season with Trump, the only candidate on the Republican side and Biden, the only candidate on the Democrat side. And I think that's, what's going to happen. Uh, Nikki Haley is not going to drop out. I think she's going to drop out of the Republican side. And so again, in Nevada, Trump was unopposed and he got 99% of the vote. Well, I'm with those 1% of the people who didn't vote for him.
Starting point is 00:12:29 That's what I'm with. Uh, anyway, Haley maintains that her ability to claim about 40% of the vote in a two head to head and two head to head contest indicates Republican voters are seeking an alternative. And this is something that was picked up by Drudge as well. So 40% of Republicans didn't vote for, voted against Trump. Well, that's actually not true. In South Carolina, they have an open primary. And so you can vote for, in the Republican primary,
Starting point is 00:12:58 as long as you don't vote in the Democrat primary. Can't vote, not yet anyway, supposedly. I think you can probably vote early and vote often i don't know uh you know one from column a two from column b i don't know uh but they said 69 percent of voters uh identified themselves as republicans well that means that 31 percent did not they identified themselves as independents as as Democrats, or as something else. I don't know who the pronouns are for that something else. They're not Democrats.
Starting point is 00:13:31 They're not Republicans. They're not independent. What else is there? I mean, the independent would cover that. So, anyway, 31%. Now, she got 40% of the vote. I would imagine that of the 40% that she got, 31% of it were Democrats and Independents and something else. That was funny. I don't know what they are.
Starting point is 00:13:57 Anyway, the GOP has become completely taken over by Trump. We should just rename it the T.O.P. Trump's old party because it's getting old. It's getting old, just like Biden's party. And all of the rhetoric and the worship of Trump is getting real old to me as well. So now you're going to the question is, what is Nikki Haley going to do? Well, like I said, I think she's going to get out of the Republican primaries, but I don't think she's going to get out of the race.
Starting point is 00:14:30 She's had the Koch brothers pull the plug on her. I guess they had her on life support. I thought this was interesting way. This was phrased by zero hedge Koch brothers pull out of Haley. That's an interesting way to phrase it. Anyway, they said they had to take stock of their spending priorities. And so she's not a priority anymore.
Starting point is 00:14:55 So they said, however, even though they stopped funding her, they said, if Donald Trump is at the top of the Republican ticket, the risk of one party rule by a Democratic party captured by the progressive left is severe and would do irreparable damage to the country. I agree with that.
Starting point is 00:15:17 I agree with the Koch brothers organization about that. I think there is a real risk of one party rule. I think that's one of the reasons why the Democrats have supported Trump and pushed him to the front with this lawfare. Make no mistake about it. They know exactly what they're doing. He gets more popular every time they hit him with a ridiculous criminal charge. It gets more popular when they hit him with, you know, half a billion dollars worth of fines and stuff like that. They have made him a martyr, which is how he wants to present himself. He says, I'm a dissident, he says at CPAC.
Starting point is 00:15:56 Well, they know what they're doing and we know what they're doing. Everybody sees it. And some of the Democrats will even say the quiet part out loud james carville who was the campaign advisor for jimmy uh for bill clinton uh said he was one who said uh it's the economy stupid right uh they don't care they don't care about all the women he raped they don't care about that it's the economy stupid and he's right it was voted their pocketbook. They,
Starting point is 00:16:25 they thought that bill Clinton was making the economy great. Instead of what bill Clinton did was he laid the foundation of the banking crisis that happened 10 years later, got rid of glass Stiegel. Uh, he, um, uh,
Starting point is 00:16:39 created, uh, allowed bank mergers to create a few handful of too big to fail banks. And he did other things, too. He pushed the Telecommunications Act to ram telecommunications down our throat, even if we have health objections to that. But even more importantly, he accelerated the globalism trend. Both he and George H.W. Bush were on the same page
Starting point is 00:17:02 when it came to the open trade issues, NAFTA, things like that. That's why Ross Perot ran against him, and Ross Perot was right. Giant sucking sound. You don't hear it too much anymore because all the stuff's been sucked out. But yeah, they're right about this. The risk of a one-party rule, because a a lot of people as strongly as the Republicans love Trump, the rest of the country, Democrats and independents hate him. And it's going to destroy the Republican party down ballot.
Starting point is 00:17:36 And we're going to wind up with all Democrats, Democrat control of the House, Senate and Biden. Biden isn't going to have to use executive orders. He can get it rubber stamped by a Democrat Congress. And the Republicans don't care. They didn't care about doing anything for January the 5th, 2021, where they were going to have the runoff in Georgia. And they turned over control of the Senate to the Democrats. They didn't care. It was all about Trump. And the same thing's going to happen again. That's how I began my program on January the 6th. And I warned people, don't go to that stupid thing that Alex is pushing.
Starting point is 00:18:10 Stop this deal. It's a trap. But I said, this is what I said was going to happen. They did this vote by mail nonsense, which is started by Trump with all the lockdown stuff. And oh, yeah, we got ballots and everything. Everybody, you know, mail out all the ballots. They're not going to stop that. and they still haven't stopped it instead you got um trump's daughter-in-law says we're going to do ballot harvesting better than them they created a corrupt
Starting point is 00:18:34 system added another level of corruption to all the levels that were already there we already had control of the ballot we already had control of the debates that was corrupt then we electronic voting. Then we added vote by mail and all the rest of this stuff. It's just layer after layer after layer. And the last layer was put on by the Trump machine. And they're leaving it there. Because they think they can do a better job of rigging that than other people. And that's what's going on with these different electronic voting machines as well. It was the Republican Party in Utah that brought in Smartmatic to run their primaries in 2016. Anyway,
Starting point is 00:19:10 the risk of one party rule by the Democrats captured by the progressive left is severe and would do irreparable damage to the country. The last three election cycles have painted a very clear picture of what we can expect from voters who consistently rejected Trump and his impact on the Republican Party brand.
Starting point is 00:19:28 Oh, it wasn't Trump. They rejected, they voted for Democrats because of abortion, Trump says. Well, the Republicans won't defend life, will they? They want that wedge issue there. And they won't end it once and for all by showing pictures of what the babies look like that are murdered. You got one candidate, a progressive left Democrat who is pro-life. She's running for Congress so that she can show those pictures. There's not another piece of filth out there running for Congress that will bother to show the pictures.
Starting point is 00:20:07 Instead, they, well, should we cut it off at this number of weeks or that number of weeks? I don't know. I think these babies are, these dead babies are like an albatross around my neck. They're going to be like a millstone around your neck when you're cast into the sea. That's what they're going to be. Trump and all the rest of you. Climb over these dead babies to get your political office. That's what this country has become.
Starting point is 00:20:31 So what is Nikki Haley going to do? She's going to run for the No Labels Party, third party. Just call it the No Chance Party. But it's going to be a grift. Somebody's going to make a lot of money running that scam. Ari Fleischer, who's been a former White House press secretary for George W., said, I've been around a lot of these candidate speeches, and I've written a few of them.
Starting point is 00:20:56 And that was a no-labels speech tonight by Nikki Haley in South Carolina, Saturday. That was a speech where she says, no matter what, I'm running. And she trashes Joe Biden. She trashes Donald Trump. She's setting herself up to run down the middle. No, she's not in the middle. Well, she, she says radicals.
Starting point is 00:21:17 She's got her own set of issues. New key Haley. I got a label for no labels. I got a label for new key Haley. War everywhere with everyone. Yeah, there's be three candidates and still not a choice. There might be four or five and still not have a choice. I haven't seen anybody there.
Starting point is 00:21:35 Like I said, I'm not interested in the Libertarians anymore. I'm not interested, never was, in RFK Jr. He's got real integrity issues real integrity issues uh he was uh i would have liked to have seen him in the debates he would have brought up some important issues to talk about and he's got some uh good positions on some of those but again there's a difference between position and principles isn't there positions are something that uh poses that are assumed by politicians in order to get elected principles are something they stand on and they don't have any they got no convictions like that story i told about when we're doing the adoption is that we got out of the video
Starting point is 00:22:17 business because of convictions and the lawyer said i need you to send me a list of those convictions and what were the consequences of those so well i can tell you what the consequences of them were but um anyway uh so trump as i point out their independent voters are 43 of the country republicans are at 27 democrats are 27 well you know trump's got a solid 27 is he going to able to, he's not going to get any of the Democrats, right? And Biden's not going to get in there. So they're fighting over the independents. And that's what they're saying with this no labels party. The large number of people in this country are uncommitted.
Starting point is 00:22:58 So how are they viewing all of this lawfare? You know, it's possible to look at this lawfare and to say, that's really corrupt. And it reflects on Joe Biden and his criminal, um, uh, cronies that are out there. People like Letitia James, people like Fannie Willis, what a soap opera that has turned into. I was going to wind up that trial is going to wind up blowing up in her face, like a loaded cigar, you know, face like a loaded cigar.
Starting point is 00:23:31 Yeah. Bill Clinton type of cigar. It's, um, but it's, it's going to, uh, that's, uh, you know, these, these people like Letitia James, you know, she tried to shut down the NRA. Uh, that didn't happen, but she got some criminal convictions against Wayne LaPierre for that same rule. You see, it's not necessary. didn't happen but she got some criminal convictions against wayne lapierre for that same rule you see it's not necessary somebody be damaged by fraud and so it's that same rule that well if you do something fraudulent you know they're going to be uh they're so squeaky clean in new york they just can't tolerate any kind of misstatement or false statement. What a joke that is. But it's possible to look at the lawfare being conducted by Trump and say,
Starting point is 00:24:10 this is awful. It's not a new precedent, by the way. They've been doing this kind of stuff to small people for a very long time. And as I always say, when they do this stuff to the small people and you let them get away with it, guess what? It's going to come to you as a politician because you're the ones that are really the problem for them. And they will definitely put you up against the wall. I said that about free speech. I've said that about civil asset forfeiture,
Starting point is 00:24:36 said it about so many things. And guess what? They're just going to forfeit his property. Now, that is a law in New York, a very bad law, being enforced by some very bad people. But it is a law, nevertheless. I think that their challenge, who knows what the basis of their challenge is going to be when you look at Trump's legal teams. They're pathetic.
Starting point is 00:25:02 But if I was going to challenge it, I would go to the basis of that law uh that law is should be struck down as unconstitutional how do you get rid of a bad law well as ulysses grant said you rigorously enforce it so um this uh no labels thing they said the organization will not be deciding on a no labels candidate until after super Tuesday, which is on March the 5th. And by that point in time, all the rest of the, that's a smart move on their part because by that time, and Nikki Haley said she was not going to get out until after super Tuesday.
Starting point is 00:25:38 That may have been her strategy all along. Hang in there until super Tuesday. And then to make a run for the no labels candidacy because after super tuesday there's not going to be any reason for anybody to talk about any primaries so there's going to be this big sucking sound in the media looking for something to talk about because it's still going to be a long ways off to the election and they can't talk about the primary so what do we do we got to you know get eyeballs on our on our um uh media here so let's maybe we'll talk about the no labels thing they're desperate for conflict they're desperate for professional wrestling and
Starting point is 00:26:16 that's what it'll be so haley has consistently said she's going to stay into the race until after super tuesday when 15 states are just over a third of all the delegates are up for grabs. I think this is perhaps always her plan. So when we look at what the other takeaways are from the South Carolina primary here, one person snarkily put out uh to trump where was wifey was tonight's gig not in her prenuptial yeah she's not by his side isn't that funny well another person said well haven't you heard he's cash-strapped? Not enough money to pay for an appearance by Melania. So she wasn't there.
Starting point is 00:27:08 Well, you know, the next best thing you can get to wifey, I guess, is Lindsay. And so he had that. He's close to it, I guess. Lindsay, Trump introduced Lindsay in South Carolina. This is what happened. What is your reaction to hearing what Donald Trump says? I'm disgusted. I want to talk to the Trump supporters for a minute. I don't know who you are, and I don't
Starting point is 00:27:34 know why you like this guy. I think what you like about him, he appears to be strong when the rest of us are weak. He's a very successful businessman and he's going to make everything great. He's going gonna take all the problems of the world and put them in a box and make your life better that's what he's selling okay well that was not lindsey booed but uh maybe i maybe i overwrote that and didn't give you a
Starting point is 00:27:56 separate one but anyway um lindsey lindsey was booed and they just kept booing and trump was you know whenever i gotta deal with the lefties, I always bring in Lindsey Graham. Well, because he is a lefty. He's friends with the lefties. This guy, Menendez, Bob Menendez, a New Jersey senator who's so corrupt. Lindsey went to bat for him in his first trial. And Menendez got off. I guess he just explained we're senators.
Starting point is 00:28:22 We can do whatever we want. Bribery, that doesn't matter. Nothing. So, uh, anyway, uh, yeah, Lindsay, after that, that was him talking about that. He says, you know, that's what, uh, that's what Trump is selling. He's selling, he's a strong man. He can just do everything. You know, you'll put it on the box.
Starting point is 00:28:38 He'll fix all your problems. That's exactly the way he's running again now. Um, but, uh, then Lindsay goes on the rest of that interview to sell war. Yeah, I was just in Iraq with McCain and all this. He's selling the war. But he went on to call Trump a racist because, you know, you always have to play the race card. Lindsey, as a leftist, called him a racist, called him a religious bigot. Trump's not religious.
Starting point is 00:29:11 Okay, we're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back. If you like the Eagles, the Cars, and Huey Lewis and the News, you'll love the Classic Hits channel at APS Radio. Download our app or listen now at APSradio.com. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Well, let's talk about CPAC. Or I guess we should call it Trump PAC. Because there's nothing conservative about CPAC anymore. It's all about Trump. It's not about any conservative policies or principles.
Starting point is 00:30:50 And not too many people showed up this time. A lot of people pointed out how low the attendance was. If you saw the pictures of it, you saw the rooms are mostly empty. Truly was amazing. You know, most of the GOP back in 2016, most of the GOP was there. Even in 2020, most of the GOP was there. Do you remember when they had somebody tested positive? Somebody got sniffles and got a PCR test.
Starting point is 00:31:22 And they tested positive. Remember, they were at CPACac had been at cpac and the news media was like yes all the conservatives are now going to die because everybody was there in 2020. they're all going to die they were all celebrating that well you know rand paul ted cruz all these different people guess what nobody died not the guy who tested positive nobody at cpac you know you had typhoid mary or typhoid matthew or whatever walking around with the virus nobody got sick nobody got nobody died uh so but maybe they have in the interim. Maybe that's it. That's why it's so empty. They all really did die in the interim.
Starting point is 00:32:10 Not from COVID, maybe, but from the vaccines, right? So in 2020, this is what Trump did. Was he supported? And all the things that he did, it should be the death of that party, not just the people who attended it. Because we need somebody to oppose this who has not been a participant in it. You say, where are you going to find somebody who wasn't a participant in all of this? Well, first of all, you're not going to find anybody at the federal level, except for Massey, who opposed this stuff, opposed the creation of this stuff, opposed pushing it out. And for that, Trump wanted to primary him out. He opposed the trillions of dollars and cash to bribe everybody to stay home and to introduce universal basic income to people.
Starting point is 00:33:02 Thomas Massey opposed that. Thomas Massey demanded that everybody come in and do a vote well what are you talking about we're all going to die you know just like all the people cpac we're all going to die if we come in and do a voice vote we can't do that and um and by the way i don't know if i mentioned it last week or not but uh thomas massey and some other people margaret marjorie taylor green had a lawsuit that got to the supreme court over the mask mandates and the supreme court threw it out and they said congress can do whatever it wants and we're not going to pelosi wants to hit you with a fine because you don't wear a mask at her insistence
Starting point is 00:33:40 well then she can do that and they said yeah but uh there is also um it's part of the law that you can't do things to affect the pay of congressmen and that's what it was it was full-on blackmail and coercion with these fines but of course the supreme court you can't rely on them at all again don't pay any attention to anything in Washington. Completely unreliable. So, you know, we always talk about the politicians that are compromised by sexual scandal, don't we? And as I pointed out last week, I even played it for you, you know, Steve Pachinik has now
Starting point is 00:34:17 resurfaced. And he's saying, you know, all these politicians, all politicians have been compromised by Jeffrey Epstein and Mossad, except for Donald Trump. Well, you lying piece of filth, Steve, piece of excrement, Nick. You, if anybody is compromised with Jeffrey Epstein, it'd be Donald Trump who hung out with him and who elevated him in that position. Come on. Short of Bill Clinton, there's nobody any closer to Jeffrey Epstein than Donald Trump. Even got his wife from Jeffrey Epstein. Steve Pachinik just keeps throwing out the most ridiculous stuff and getting away with it.
Starting point is 00:35:04 But look, everybody wants to talk about the politicians who are compromised by sex scandals and that's a real thing they pick people as i've pointed out many times dennis haster wrestling coach who is a pedophile a known pedophile he was picked to run for congress by the gop then they escalated him to be a speaker of the house kept him there longer than anybody else and um you know the whole thing blew up in his face when he was um taking money out structuring withdrawals to pay one of his victims who was blackmailing him and of course dennis hasford had been on multiple times with rush limbaugh defending other republicans who are involved in the page scandals and other things
Starting point is 00:35:44 like this and saying that's just all politics. It's just all, there's nothing here. These guys are all on the up and up. And he was the biggest pedophile of them all. Setting up their speaker of the house. And so, yeah, the pedophile scandal is huge, but guess what? So is the pandemic scandal. And the pandemic scandal, the lockdowns, the jabs, the trillions of dollars,
Starting point is 00:36:09 the ongoing democide that is happening globally, isn't that important? Children are dying from this stuff. They're being sterilized because this is about depopulation. Folks, this jab shot stuff is bigger than any of the pedophile ring stuff now steve pachinik does this because that's what the q anon manga people want to hear that's all they want to talk about do they realize that this is bigger like i said before this is bigger than the gaza war um it's not genocide it's democide in every single country. So it's bigger than that. It's bigger than the pedophile scandals.
Starting point is 00:36:49 And nobody wants to talk about that. Nobody. So, um, Laura Trump, um, uh, well, this is a one person who is there and pushed back against a reporter, Rahim Kassam, editor of the hard right National Pulse is the way they describe him in this article from Mediaite. I don't think National Pulse is hard right. But this is a guy who is a conservative and he's there at CPAC and he says, what an embarrassment as he sees pictures of the empty place. And one person replied and said, you're posting, I'm here and it hasn't been empty. Laura Trump just said that it's always darkest before the dawn, D-O-N. Standing ovation, wrote one CPAC attendee in response to this reporter from National Pulse.
Starting point is 00:37:47 And then a person says, well, you're posting a picture from halfway up the room. My image shows the entire room. And CPAC used to have 13,000 attendees. Your picture shows a few hundreds. Thank you for making my point. Enjoy your waste of time. CPAC is very sleepy this year. As I was preparing, I reached out to people I met here previously.
Starting point is 00:38:11 95% of them said they were not coming this year, wrote an NBC tech editor, Benjamin Goggin. He also posted a photo of his press pass, which many left-leaning outlets were banned from getting at CPAC this year. Like I said, we become what we fight. Where is it? You don't fight people by arguing with them anymore, making the case. You just ban them.
Starting point is 00:38:36 That's what the conservatives want to do. He says, I sort of thought this was just bluster, but I've heard from multiple people who got rejected for a press pass this year. And then a writer for The Nation. The Nation is hard left, hard left. And you know they're going to be critical of CPAC, of course. I used to, like I said before, when I was in college, I used to read. I didn't like Time.
Starting point is 00:38:58 I didn't like Newsweek. They were pablum. They were the people telling us, we're going to be out of oil in the mid-1980s. It's like, come on. But I would read The Nation to hear what people on the left were saying. I would read National Review, see what the establishment right was saying.
Starting point is 00:39:15 And sometimes I would agree with one, sometimes I'd agree with the other. Many times I'd disagree with both of them. But you look at what other people have to say and you think for yourself anyway um she said at the nation she said i remember when they had overflow rooms and she showed a picture of that and then a picture of what it is she also posted that her press pass had been revoked revoked by cpac there you go empty room guys i'm not infiltrating cpac i was granted a media badge last year this year i was given one again but they took it away last minute and told
Starting point is 00:39:53 me to buy a ticket when i checked in yesterday you all realize that people recognize me right i can't go undercover who's laughing uh so um the national's uh zach weiss said they also cut off part of the main conference room so there's fewer seats but it's still they can't even fill it up even when they reduce the size of the room as they do in convention centers right bring in a wall and shut off part of that uh and daily caller is talking about it so it's not just the left press daily caller is talking about it you got national pulse is talking about it. So it's not just the left press. Daily Caller is talking about it. You got National Pulse is talking about it. And Daily Caller interviewed a representative of the Mises Institute, Jacob Swartz.
Starting point is 00:40:33 He says, well, I was expecting it to be larger than previous conferences that I've been to, which aren't necessarily as big a tent. He said, I guess he said that it's more or less because it's all about Trump. He said, uh, Mary, uh, Maria Dunning, uh, from Virginia said a lot of it was because of the fractured conservative movement fractured who fractured it. I think Trump broke their legs. If they didn't support him, you bow to me, you kneel to me. I'm going to break your legs, uh, because of the fractured conservative movement. And the fact that a lot of people just can't get behind trump you know it was the trump conference this year and i think that kind of alienated a lot of people from coming especially since it's
Starting point is 00:41:14 an election year and he's poised to be the nominee so you know what's to talk about really right schwartz from misa said i think pretty much everybody can see that. He wasn't just the centerpiece. He wasn't just the featured guest. He was the conference more or less. Trump's daughter-in-law, Laura Trump spoke. Carrie Lake spoke. Mike Lindell spoke. Matt Gates, Steve Bannon.
Starting point is 00:41:38 It was like a reawaken America tour. Except these people want you to go back to sleep and vote for Trump again. Because you have to be asleep to vote for Trump. Nobody who was alive in 2020 and is still alive after all the people that they've killed could vote for him if they weren't asleep. George said, I understand the argument some people make that CPAC is supposed to be more of a big tent. If you like, you look back at CPAC even 10 years ago, there were a lot more people, he said. Well, again, as I said before, I have a situation where I don't agree with the people who are never Trumpers. I don't agree with the Democrats and I cannot support Trump.
Starting point is 00:42:26 Uh, even though I have the same position on these issues as the Maga people do, uh, there's absolutely no way I'll support him. And you've got a lot of these people who, um, a lot of the people who are never Trump have now become these big cheerleaders of his, And I'm talking about people like Ben Shapiro, people like Mark Levin, people like Glenn Beck. Remember Glenn Beck when he was rolling his face in Cheetos? I think Donald Trump is so unstable, so dangerous. I think under Donald Trump, he's so unstable,
Starting point is 00:43:07 I wouldn't put anything past him. I don't know what our country looks like. We thought, after seeing Donald Trump on television, we thought if you wore the goggles, the swim goggles, and you stuck your face in Cheetos, crushed Cheetos, that you would look just like Donald Trump in the end. You know, it does look like that Donald Trump dips his face in Cheetos dust. I believe it was Ben Shapiro who made this observation. You know, it does look like that Donald Trump dips his face in Cheetos dust. Wait, what flavor do you have? I have regular.
Starting point is 00:43:48 I have regular. You have regular. The pops or the tart? What? What flavor do you have? I have regular. What? Do you have the pops or do you have the original flavor?
Starting point is 00:43:58 Oh, Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz? My friends all drive Porschesches i must make amens yeah the prosperity press you know we got the prosperity gospel out there we got these churches like joel austin's church you know um give me your money god will multiply give it back to you you'll wind up with a private jet just like me you know that type of stuff and then you got the prosperity press who i don't stand for anything except audience and as people look at this uh and they understand that trump is um being attacked uh unjustly by the people in new york and others i saw this on Babylon B.
Starting point is 00:44:46 New York prosecutes a couple for fraud because they listed their house for $499,000 and it ultimately sold for $485,000. The family knowingly and willfully tried to get a good deal when they sold their home, said Attorney General Letitia James. The state of New York hereby assesses the Cross family a fine of $50 million for their egregious actions. If they cannot pay by tomorrow, we will begin kidnapping their children to hold as ransom.
Starting point is 00:45:11 Well, that's a pretty accurate assessment of Letitia James. Nevertheless, do your problems matter to Trump? Do your problems matter to the gop for example because as james o'keefe just published a video that was done an undercover video where you had somebody working for the irs talking about how they have no problem destroying people's lives just like leticia james doesn't but instead of it being about politics it's just because they can, I guess. Arbitrary, capricious, and completely out of control. That's the IRS.
Starting point is 00:45:53 And so do your problems matter with Trump? Do they matter with the GOP? Because, you know, Biden wanted to grow the IRS, make it seven times bigger than it is. And they said, well, let's cut it down. Let's only make it five times bigger. Now they're back to seven times bigger. They're just going to go along with what Biden wants to do. Both Biden and the GOP Congress want to make the IRS seven times bigger than it is now. Did Trump ever, even as a politician, even as a preening demagogue, did he ever say, let's abolish the IRS? You know, there's been a lot of politicians now who have said that.
Starting point is 00:46:25 Back when we were saying that in the 80s, people just, you're a bunch of radical conspiracy theorists, nuts, talking about abolishing the IRS. And it's like, why is that off limits to say that? Why can't we abolish the IRS? Give me a good reason. They don't come close to paying for what the government spends, right? And the Democrats have created an entire economic theory. Of course, it's total nonsense. But they created an economic theory called the modern monetary theory, MMT.
Starting point is 00:46:59 I call it magic money tree. But they say deficits don't matter. So if the deficits don't matter, even if with record tax collections every year, we don't come close to paying for the government, why do we have the IRS? Well, see, the IRS is there for the little people. It's not there for the big people. It's there to make sure that you don't have any discretionary income,
Starting point is 00:47:20 that you're unable to build wealth. That's what it's there for. It's there to establish the status quo. And it's also there for the politicians to use against their enemies as well. And so James O'Keefe in this video, an unnamed undercover reporter chats with Alex Minna, an agent with the IRS Criminal Investigation Unit. It's the same one that Joe Bannon was at.
Starting point is 00:47:46 This guy seems to have awakened. The same way that Joe Bannister did. You can find his website, Agent for Truth. I've interviewed him multiple times. But this is a guy with a criminal investigation unit. He said he was unaware that he was being filmed, of course. This is a secret camera. He makes several startling revelations about his colleagues in the IRS
Starting point is 00:48:11 and the way the agency treats people, according to Minna. Throughout their tenure at the IRS, most of his colleagues have lost their empathy, saying that now they're more like robots and the definition of an a-hole he said because of their ruthlessness and their willingness to target small people here's the full quote he said like those agents that have been here for like 15 or 20 years they said they were all nice when they started but now look at us he said they are a-holes their definition of one all of them like they have no problem going after small people, you know, putting people in prison, like destroying people's lives. They have no problem doing that.
Starting point is 00:48:53 And it's very easy to do that, quite frankly, because as people have always, every time I think about the IRS, I think about that quote, a law that is sufficiently complex is the same as having no law at all. The IRS code is so complex that the IRS agents won't give you an answer if you call them and ask them for help, of course, right? They don't know. But it's the same as having no law at all. So it's within the purview of these people to destroy somebody's life. Because it is a law unto itself. It is a law unto itself. It is a lawless agency. And it was the IRS that began this trend that we now see duplicated across all of these different alphabet agencies that Trump and his people like to call the swamp.
Starting point is 00:49:36 The swamp is 100% under the president. Trump was king of the swamp for four years, didn't do anything to stop any of this stuff. But they all are a law under themselves. We have taxation as well as regulation without representation. They will create the laws. They call them rules, civil rules. And because they say they're civil rules and not laws by your elected representative, then they say the Bill of Rights doesn't apply.
Starting point is 00:50:02 You have no presumption of innocence. You don't get a trial. You don't get due process. They say, well, this is a bureaucratic rule, so none of that applies. It's the worst of everything. This whole prevarication that is the essence of bureaucratic tyranny is the idea that there's some distinction between a rule that can be used to destroy your life, to put you in prison, to take all your money. That's a rule. But it's distinct from a law that is passed by your elected representatives.
Starting point is 00:50:31 That piece of fiction is the basis for much of this tyranny. He went on to admit several more nefarious practices by the agency, including that the agency doesn't actually need evidence in order to initiate an audit. Effectively stating that the agency, quote, can audit whoever they want, as well as revealing the way in which artificial intelligence is going to be used to spy on the financial data of every American in the country. You know, when we talk about this, we talk about Biden creating an army of IRS agents. That's not what you should worry about. Yeah, he will have a lot of agents. He will have
Starting point is 00:51:06 a lot of armed agents. They will be doing a lot of audits, but what you need to be concerned about is that the audits are going to be increasingly done by artificial intelligence. You want to be audited by chat GPT? How about by Gemini that hates white people? Who would you rather be audited by? Quite frankly, I'd rather be audited by a human, even with a political bias against me, than by artificial intelligence, because these people will bow down to it as if it were God. Oh, we got a printout here from artificial intelligence, and so I'm not questioning that.
Starting point is 00:51:42 The algorithm is going to be king. Nobody will question the algorithm they might question a biased agent but they're not going to question the algorithm the artificial that's going to be a tyranny that is beyond anything we have seen and that's what they're going to use this massive amount of money that biden and the republicans in congress including speaker Mike Johnson, want to do. They're giving massive amounts of money to the IRS to arm artificial intelligence. And everybody's concerned about Trump. That's what they're concerned. They don't care about the rest of this stuff.
Starting point is 00:52:16 And Trump wasn't concerned about it when he was president either. The IRS has all the information of all the companies in the whole world, not just the United States, he said. And what they're able to do is effectively illegal warrantless surveillance. They analyze through all the financial data looking for indications of fraud. This is what I used to say when I talked to people about why we need to abolish the IRS. I said, you realize, of course, that this is not the only way to collect taxes and that they're more interested in the surveillance aspect of it. This is back, you know, 40 years ago when it wasn't we didn't have an Internet for that purpose and all the rest of the stuff.
Starting point is 00:52:58 I said they're more interested in the surveillance and the information that they get against people and your signature on that form so they can then put you in prison if you didn't get everything right. That's what they're interested in. They're interested in self-incrimination. They're interested in warrantless surveillance. That's what the IRS is about. And so they could easily collect a lot more money as they do in Europe if they had some kind of value-added tax. But that would be done in a way that it doesn't give them any insight into what you buy.
Starting point is 00:53:25 When you pay sales tax, they don't know who you are, what you're buying this for, but an income tax gives them all of that information. And a value added tax was a sales tax at every step of production. And so it had a multiplying effect. And the Europeans were able to get a lot more money than the IRS is getting out of the Americans per capita. But what the Americans really wanted was the surveillance aspect of it and the incrimination aspect of it. To be able to come after people criminally. That's what it's always been.
Starting point is 00:53:58 He goes on to say this is very invasive. It's probably not constitutional. He admits that even though the AI system is still under human control for now, the IRS itself doesn't actually control it, but rather it falls under the control of the Department of Justice and the Inspector General. Yes, yes, he is an Inspector General. This kind of criminal behavior on behalf of the IRS isn't anything new.
Starting point is 00:54:21 Stretching back to the 1930s, the IRS has consistently been utilized as a political weapon to harass the enemies of't anything new. Stretching back to the 1930s, the IRS has consistently been utilized as a political weapon to harass the enemies of those in power. FDR utilized it to subvert his political opponents, most famously, Louisiana Governor Huey Long.
Starting point is 00:54:38 The FBI's infamous COINTEL operation, initiated under Eisenhower to spy on and to disrupt civil rights organizations. You had JFK conspiring with his brother, attorney general RFK to weaponize the IRS and a secret program known as the ideological organizations audit project, which would target both right and left opposition groups. During the Watergate era, Nixon utilized the IRS as a means of benefiting his political enemies
Starting point is 00:55:10 while also targeting his political opponents on the president's infamous enemies list, as well as activists and political dissidents. The especially created unit of the IRS known as the Special Services Staff. It's not the SS. It's the SSS. See, we're totally different. We're not as the special services staff. It's not the SS. It's the SSS. See, we're totally different. We're not like the Nazis at all. During the Obama years, of course, we had them targeting conservative groups, as we
Starting point is 00:55:35 all know about. And then during the Trump years, was anything done to reform it? No, no, not with Trump and not with control of both houses of congress by the republicans they did nothing to even reform the irs let alone abolish the irs a 2022 report indicated that the irs opened a suspiciously timed investigation and to matt taibbi's um shortly after the publication of the twitter files yeah Yeah, that's alive. Well, definitely what it was being done for. In 2022, Syracuse University's Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse
Starting point is 00:56:14 showed that amid huge increases in funding and 87,000 new hires, that the IRS consistently audited low-income Americans and had very little focus on the wealthy. It's always the bait and switch, right? Oh, the IRS is there. These wealthy people, they pay no taxes. There's where we got to ramp up. We got to change the tax laws and everything.
Starting point is 00:56:40 Guess what? When Trump changes the tax laws, who gets the tax breaks? They're really wealthy. Do they ever do anything to change it? No, but they use that. They use envy. And, uh, that envy comes around and blows back on us. Doesn't it?
Starting point is 00:56:57 So the rich get richer, the poor get poor because the rich use the loopholes and they know exactly how to do it and so just real quickly take a look at this data visualizing wealth distribution in america travis pull this up visualizing wealth distribution in america today the share of wealth held by the richest 0.1%. It's currently at its peak. And there is a graph that shows how this distribution of household wealth has radically changed since the 1990s. There you go. That's the one right there. It's going down. It's a big graph, but, um, the, uh, you can't get the full thing on there, but you see how, look at the 1990s, how much closer everything was look at how it is spread out now and the slope you know the top group there uh it just keeps increasing as a matter of fact you know the
Starting point is 00:57:50 slope didn't really change from obama to uh to to trump until you get into 2020 and then it goes straight up for every group you even had a little bit of a bump there for the people who were the bottom 50%. They even got a bump there from the stimulus checks. But that's a sugar fix that we're all going to be paying for, those trillions of dollars there. So that was what was happening there in terms of that. But you have the same increase in the trajectory as Obama until you get to the stimulus check. And then everybody popped up up but not everybody popped up the same amount as the really really rich because you know these things like the uh the relief for small businesses more than 50 of it went to five percent of the companies and when you look at um you know the people who are the bottom 50% get essentially nothing.
Starting point is 00:58:47 But those are going to be the people that are easy targets for the IRS because they don't have the ability to lawyer up. With $20 trillion in wealth, the top 0.1% earn on average $3.3 million in income each year. And when you go back and you look at this table by decades, so it goes in 1990s, the two thousands, the 2010s, then the 2020, and what is happening is this top 0.1% in terms of its share of household wealth consistently, every decade is going up, uh, about a 1% per decade, except in the 2020, it jumped by 1% per decade. Except in the 2020, it jumped by 2% under Trump.
Starting point is 00:59:32 But he's going to fix all this stuff for us, you see. So that is overall the top 10% richest own more than the bottom 90% combined. That's America today. North American american house hippo thank you very much for the tip he says good morning david last week you referred to alec baldwin and working girl when melanie griffith walked in on him with another woman he said this isn't what it looks like i wonder if that's what he told the cops in new mexico yeah it's not what it looked like uh funny thing kevin spacey was in that movie too he played a sleazy pervert was he really in that movie that um uh where that lady where the camera person got
Starting point is 01:00:13 killed that's interesting um but i appreciate the tip thank you very much and by the way i should have mentioned this at the beginning of the program we're now an hour into it. And I wanted to, um, think junk silver who, uh, last month he gave us a. A contribution, a matching contribution. He has done it again. Uh, $500. Uh, he will match up to a contributions on, um, today in terms of tips that come in. And, uh, so I really do appreciate that. Again, his, his name is a junk silver on, name is Junk Silver on the boards, the chat boards.
Starting point is 01:00:49 And just to give you an idea of where we are, we haven't moved the gas gauge. We were a little bit below the 5.8 thing. We're just a little bit above it, but we're not close to the 75%. We're getting pretty close to the end of the month. So I really do appreciate this, um, uh, this help from a junk silver. And so, uh, anything that you put in that will be matched. So really do appreciate that up to a $500. So, um, we have, um, we've been down in terms of donations, uh, across the board and all the different categories this month. Um, not really sure what's happening. Maybe it's the Trump effect.
Starting point is 01:01:26 Maybe it's me. Was it something I said? We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. Elvis. Ladies and gentlemen, the Beatles. And the sweet sounds of Motown. Find them on the Oldies channel at APSradio.com Thank you. Terima kasih telah menonton! you're listening to the david knight show i want to thank Eric. Thank you very much, Eric on Rockfin.
Starting point is 01:03:25 I appreciate the tip. And I'll just mention again, as we come back, Junk Silver is going to match tips today. And we could certainly use him. Trump is calling himself a political dissident. He's not calling Assange a political dissident. Isn't that interesting? Oh, yeah. isn't that interesting oh yeah isn't that interesting the guy that
Starting point is 01:03:47 was um it was bar who came after him because you know bar is completely cia trump is not being uh yeah it's amazing he didn't do anything to stop bill barr he didn't uh pardon assange when he had the and yet he says that he is a a dissident truly amazing um you know as i mentioned the past uh when you look at the the military mandates uh did trump ever mention the fact that he mandated the jabs for the military things like that instead what he's saying is he says um a vote for Trump is your ticket back to freedom. Hey, pal, you know what? I'm freer today than I was when you were president. That should be the campaign.
Starting point is 01:04:36 But they're not going to do that, right? That's not a campaign slogan that Biden can use. It's not a campaign slogan that any of the Republicans can use because they didn't support your freedom in 2020. So don't talk to me about freedom, Trump. I'm freer today than I was when you were president because you turned the country over to President Fauci. Fear was reigning when you were president. Fear of a pandemic that didn't exist. Yeah, it'd be really awkward for him to talk about the uh
Starting point is 01:05:07 military mandates and stuff like that um maybe he will that's the place where they try to make their distinction yes he may have created the poison he may have bragged about it but uh hey it was uh biden who mandated it well biden, Biden mandated it for the military, and Trump had the order already in place because, look, Operation Warp Speed was completely intertwined with the military and the intelligence community as well. The military was going to deliver it and all the rest of this stuff. But the order was already there. And when you look at what Biden did that was really damaging, he did it through corporations, didn't he?
Starting point is 01:05:52 He said, if you're getting money from us, we're not going to give you the money. And we're going to withhold all the Medicare payments from the hospitals after they'd gotten massive bonuses to put people on ventilators and give them remdesivir and declare them as having COVID by Trump. He gave them massive bonuses through Medicare. They said, we're going to not only take that away, we'll take away all your Medicare if you don't vaccinate all your staff, all the nurses and doctors. That is exactly the way that Trump would have done it. And he would have said, that's not a mandate. That's what Biden did. He said, it's not a mandate. would have said, that's not a mandate. That's what Biden did. He said, it's not a mandate.
Starting point is 01:06:28 Fauci said, that's not a mandate. We're just coercing people by withholding money that we would normally give them, which is what Trump has promised to do to Department of Education mandates and other things. This is the way they always control people. It's through the purses, the purse purse strings that's the way they mandate things because the 10th amendment is in the way of a direct order so they do it with financial bribery and blackmail but yeah vote for trump is your ticket back to freedom it may be your ticket to a freedom city which is his rebranded smart cities.
Starting point is 01:07:09 You know, the open, uh, slavery of climate lockdown. Maybe he'd do that. Maybe, maybe Trump would give us his freedom cities and a climate lockdown. Who knows? I am a proud political dissent. He says, um, hopefully your future president as a proud political dissident. He said, I am a dissident. Well, he may be a dissident from the political establishment, but not over principles, right?
Starting point is 01:07:39 That's what we typically talk about. Dissent is over principles and got any. January the 6th, people referred to as political hostages, said this hostile article from Daily Mail. Yes, those people really are political hostages. They really were. They really are in prison because of political dissent. And guess what? Just like Julian Assange, Trump did nothing for them.
Starting point is 01:08:02 Nothing. Nothing at all. His supporters, just as Julian Assange, Trump did nothing for them. Nothing. Nothing at all. His supporters, just as Julian Assange helped him, absolutely no loyalty to anybody. He demands total loyalty. And so, yeah, that's his way of dealing with his friends who were real political dissenters. So Trump went on to say poor victim he said i would rather lose my freedom than surrender to this group of thugs and tyrants and fascist scoundrels and yet as he
Starting point is 01:08:35 was there at cpac he calls them thugs and scoundrels and everything he floated the idea that the department of justice might be weaponized against Nikki Haley. Yes, he did. He says there's, um, well, this is a headline from the daily mail,
Starting point is 01:08:51 which is not exactly accurate. He says, there are five things the department of justice could investigate Haley for as part of his victory speech, not magnanimous and victory. I mean, he's just had this massive win in her home state, but he can't be magnanimous about that.
Starting point is 01:09:07 No, because he's a deeply wounded narcissist and capable of acting except out of his own perceived self-interest or revenge. And so what he says is, you know, she might, the department of justice might have something to say about Nikki Haley. He doesn't say there's five things. He said a handful, a handful of things. And so they made it five, but he didn't specify anything. He just throws it out there as a threat. And it may be an empty threat, just like the threats he made against Hillary Clinton. He said
Starting point is 01:09:37 to Hillary Clinton to her face, and we all saw it. I'm going to lock you up. And then he decided he wouldn't do it. Well, you know, Glenn Beck, who I showed earlier, they're rolling his face in Cheetos a few years ago, has now become a diehard Trump sycophant because, you know, he needs a new Mercedes Benz and the Porsche is just not enough. Right. And so he's unleashed a list of 10 things that Biden has done that are dictatorial. And so we'll run down these things and see how they look. First thing he had on his list was he said he used the CDC to tell people that they couldn't evict people or foreclose on mortgages. Newsflash, Glenn, like so many other things, he's so incredibly ignorant. I guess he thinks you're ignorant as well. That was done by Trump. It was the CDC under Trump. Now, he rightfully
Starting point is 01:10:32 says that it was done by the CDC and, you know, Biden is responsible and Biden extended it, extended it several times. But Trump did it and extended it once. And then Trump and then Biden took over and extended it to two or three times, I think, before the Supreme Court finally shut it down. But it was started by Trump. And if you're going to say that the CDC is under Biden and he's responsible, that's right. CDC is also under Trump and Trump is responsible for what the CDC does underneath him when he's president.
Starting point is 01:11:07 Then he talks about the vaccine mandates. Okay, well, who created the vaccine? Do we want to talk about that? Where did Trump get the authority, the constitutional authority, to pay tens of millions of dollars to vaccine companies? Where's that in the Constitution? It's not there. I mean, that's just a minor point.
Starting point is 01:11:27 You know, this is the type of thing that all presidents do, spending money that there's no constitutional authority for. But that is a thing, isn't it? That is a thing, I think. And then he also told people that they'd die without it. That's what Glenn Beck says. You know, Biden, he mandated these vaccines. He told people that they'd die without it. Didn't what Glenn Beck says. You know, Biden, he mandated these vaccines. He told people that they'd die without it.
Starting point is 01:11:47 Didn't Trump do that as well? Didn't Trump create the vaccines and tell people they'd die without it? They're two sides, you know, two sides of the same coin. And it really doesn't matter for the existential issues that are at the center of this. It's just like when we had NAFTA. You could have voted for Bill Clinton or you could have voted for George george hw but either way you're going to get nafta and then when you come to obamacare you could have voted for romney or you could have voted for obama but either way you're going to get obamacare or romney care which is the same thing romney had
Starting point is 01:12:18 already done it massachusetts or ted kennedy so on these existential issues at the center of all this stuff just like when you look at the globalist pandemic mcguffin trump and biden were on the same page no difference between them it's just the different stages of the different things were rolling out it's a distinction without a difference to talk about what biden did versus Trump did. Which is worse, creating the vaccine and telling people they're going to die without it, or coercing private companies, saying, well, you're not going to get our federal money if you don't force your, you either vax them or you fire them, or you don't get any federal money.
Starting point is 01:13:01 Same thing would have been done by Trump. Canceling student loans. Well by trump uh canceling student loans well uh trump didn't cancel student loans and this is an obvious ploy by biden when he is down now at jimmy carter level popularity he's trying to claw back um and it's like you know he's identifying something uh some demographic that he thinks he's got a good chance with, young college students, and so let me give them something. And that's what he's throwing it out to, and recent graduates. They also know that people go to college, spend time in college, are more likely to vote liberal.
Starting point is 01:13:38 But Trump spent trillions of dollars. You know, these student loans are billions of dollars, like $100 billion. But Trump started this precedent of trillions of dollars, as David Stockman pointed out. He says it's Trump's war on capitalism. But it was also a way that he did this to incentivize universal basic income, to get people used to that. Stay home and I'll pay you a check. You don't have to go into work.
Starting point is 01:14:11 I'm not going to let you go into work, but just stay home, right? And so, in a sense, I could argue that canceling student loans is far less damaging than the Trump precedent of trillions of dollars and setting the pattern, the psychological acclimation for universal basic income. Censorship by government control of social media. That's another thing that Glenn Beck has against Biden. And I agree. But of course, that was rolling out under Trump. It's under Trump in 2018.
Starting point is 01:14:43 That first InfoWars and then 800 other sites were purged. We knew where it was coming from. We could tell based on our knowledge of how the internet was created and the social media companies were created. We didn't need Tucker Carlson to tell us that Google and these other companies were created with venture capital from, uh, the, uh, NSA and the CIA. We knew that already. Yeah, we knew that about 10 years ago, Tucker. He just, uh, just explained that to everybody. Uh, but we knew where that came from and, um, it was, it was nothing new. And of course, nothing was done to stop it under Trump. That was at the middle of the Trump administration. He did nothing to stop any of that.
Starting point is 01:15:28 And so, you know, when you have the Democrat agenda is constantly pushed, and the Republicans do nothing to stop it, what is the difference there? Well, the Republicans are there to make you think that there's going to be opposition, to give you a false hope. The 30 by 30 land grab of course this is biden and um uh he's pushing that heavily but again we're talking about the climate agenda look at the deception that trump did with the paris climate accord first of all i don't need to get rid of it well Well, it's not in effect, right?
Starting point is 01:16:09 Mitch McConnell, number one, Mitch McConnell should have said, if it's a treaty, we have to vote on it. But all of the Republican senators, any of them could have said it. Trump could have said it. We were saying it. I was saying it. Steve Malloy was saying it. We've got to hold this up for a vote.
Starting point is 01:16:24 And really pushed it. because you know trump eventually uh he said all right all right you know they self-ratified this i've got different opinions coming from some people some of them say well that's not an effective treaty of course those would be the people reading the constitution but he says it needs still there's others who say it needs to be opposed so i'll tell you what i I'll do. I will end it after the 2020 election. And he said that in 2017. By leaving it in place, what he was doing was propagating the Paris Climate Accord agenda, just like Biden is doing. Anyway, he goes on censoring.
Starting point is 01:17:02 And, of course, we've seen that. That's the free speech issue. That was Trump also Trump with Assange as well. Um, targeting pro-life Trump was good at that during his presidency. However, he has now candidate Trump and this should worry everybody. Candidate Trump is now throwing abortion to the side and blaming, uh, pro-life policies on Republican defeat. That should be very concerning. That is something Biden has targeted pro-life for sure.
Starting point is 01:17:33 But it's something that is a harbinger of what would happen under a Trump regime as well. Forcing trends on to kids and schools. Again, Obama began doing this with the Department of Education and Money. Trump did nothing to stop any of that. As a matter of fact, Trump and Michael Flynn were some of the big promoters of all this trainee stuff, pushing it way back more than 15 years ago. These guys were pushing it. And so I got a letter from a listener.
Starting point is 01:18:02 This is from John Doe. And he says, I'll be attending a seminar on the Constitution next weekend with some people that think that Don never did anything wrong. I would like to bring up some of those Trump infractions of the Constitution at the seminar
Starting point is 01:18:17 in hopes of shedding some light on those trapped in the dark. Do you have any no doubt infractions that I could bring up at this meeting? I can point to the firearms infractions, but I would have to have a long list to convert the blind. Well, just say all the stuff that I've talked about, everything in 2020. I would say also I would throw in the fact that he doesn't support the Constitution because he's not going to hold them accountable for the Paris Climate Accord Treaty. Of course, you're talking about the gun control by executive order.
Starting point is 01:18:45 That was a precedent by president Trump. Uh, the, um, continuation of all of these, uh, uh, unconstitutional alphabet agencies, which every president does has been doing. Uh, but, uh, so that's nothing distinctly different, but the 2020 stuff absolutely was. And, um, and it's all made possible by the bribery and the blackmail the federal fiat money uh but um i'll i'll send you something on specifics maybe i'll do another segment on it um and so trump you know he's got this he's going to fix every problem that you've got so he goes to the national religious broadcasters meeting that was in
Starting point is 01:19:25 Nashville and he says that was on Thursday night and he tells these people, he says, no one will be touching the cross of Christ under my administration. Under Donald Trump, we had the first time that churches closed ever, ever first time in Christian history ever closed. He normalized that. And it shows the weak state of the church that it would shut down. But of course, at this convention, he's got people like Robert Jeffress with this big mega church in Dallas, endorsing him and speaking for him. Here's another thing that's unconstitutional.
Starting point is 01:20:09 The Ad Council, $250 million there. That's propaganda. It was paid out for people. It went to people like Curtis Chang, who had a website and a program that was set up there specifically to target Christian churches and pastors. He got a big chunk of that ad council money. Well, I don't know if it's a big chunk relative to the 250 million.
Starting point is 01:20:32 That was a record. They've never spent that much on anything. Not on the only you can prevent forest fires, or this is your brain on drugs ads or any of that stuff, the crying Indian thing, you know, uh, they've had all these ad council ads, but they've never spent 250, never had a campaign that was $250 million until Trump and the pandemic. Uh, but Robert Jeffress even did videos with Curtis Chang telling people all the talking points that I had covered in July of 2020 about the Yale psychological study. And they had about a dozen different points,
Starting point is 01:21:09 arguments that you would make guilt tripping people talking about how this is a miracle from God. You have to be kind to your neighbor. It's a loving thing. It's the way that you love your neighbor. This is what Robert Jeffries and Curtis Chang were selling people with Trump money, uh, paying for that.
Starting point is 01:21:22 And now they are still affirming their support for Donald Trump. Surprise, surprise. So I don't know. I think that shutting down churches, I think that's probably pretty big. Can you imagine if it had been Hillary Clinton that shut down the churches? The outrage. People would be still screaming about that. But Donald Trump can shut the churches down with a fake pandemic, executive orders, with a bureaucracy that's out of control, whether it's the CDC or whether it's the NIH or the NIAID or whatever.
Starting point is 01:21:51 The money, the money that's there. And we're going to create this campaign of fear and shut down the churches. Well, ultimately, the churches and the pastors will have to answer for that. But, and, you know, there is forgiveness for anything that we did. They got it wrong. A lot of them realize they got it wrong and have changed things since. Hugh Hewitt said, when you ask yourself about the Trump years, he delivered. Religious liberty has never been as safe.
Starting point is 01:22:24 Where was Hugh Hewitt in 2020 when all the churches were shut down? Never, never in Western civilization history, certainly not in America, has any SOB tried to do that and get away with it. We always heard from the Romans 9 people, well, you got to do everything that the government says, except when the government comes and tells me what I can do about worship. Well, the government, I always said, I interviewed Chuck Baldwin. He had a book about that. I said, whoever's talking about it, I remember very succinctly said, well, you know when push comes to shove and they tell the churches to shut down,
Starting point is 01:22:59 these people who have this, you do whatever the church, you do whatever the government says, even if they tell you to wear pinwheels on your head, like Todd Friel said, you do it. You take the vaccine, you do whatever the church, you do whatever the government says, even if they tell you to wear pinwheels on your head, you know, like Todd Friel said, you do it. You take the vaccine, you shut your church down, you do whatever the government tells you to do. People like Todd Friel. And I said, you watch when they tell them to shut the churches down, they'll shut the churches down. And of course they had already shut the churches down when Todd Friel said that about pinwheels on your head. And so he wasn't pushing back against that. He still had not caught on to that.
Starting point is 01:23:32 Instead, he doubles down and says, oh, yeah, you shut your church down. Now you're going to have to take the vaccine because the government says so. Yeah. yeah so um he says uh religious liberty has never been as safe because of three conservative supreme court justices look that's a false trust you better focus on state and local and i'm going to talk about christian localism coming up forget about christian nationalism christian localism and but when you look at cpac as i pointed out last week you had people like jack bosobiot boasting steve bannon boasting we're going to have a war we're going to have a revolution you got people being interviewed by mainstream media individuals they're saying yeah it's going
Starting point is 01:24:17 to be a civil war if trump doesn't get elected all the rest of this stuff this is the stamp of Trump. This is his imprimatur. This is what he has transformed as he's turned the GOP into the TOP, into Trump's whole party. This is the hallmark of it. It's provocative threats. This thug-like boasting about what they're going to do to people. And they didn't learn the lesson with January the 6th, did they? Not the supporters. And of course, the guys who are at the top of it,
Starting point is 01:24:48 who pushed all this stuff, they got scot-free. They got off scot-free. So people a level or two down, they went to jail. But the people who ran this thing, who ran the stop steal, like Alex, like Trump, like Bannon and others, and like Tucker Carlson, they got away with it. The other people that are a level or so down, they went to jail. And so these ringleaders are out there doing the same stuff again.
Starting point is 01:25:09 You got Charlie Kirk saying, we want to sponsor televised executions of Trump's political opponents. That's what he actually said. And he even said, I'm not joking. He said, you could sell, you could fund the government. You can have like, uh, brought to you by Coca-Cola.
Starting point is 01:25:27 No, I'm not kidding. He said, by the way, I would totally tune in to see some pedo get his head chopped off. Um, so whether they're talking about political opponents, which you also mentioned in here,
Starting point is 01:25:38 or whether he's talking about, um, other crimes, crimes against children and that type of thing. This is what they want to push. This is the over-the-top stuff. They want a war. They really do want a war.
Starting point is 01:25:55 This is one of the reasons why Bannon is saying, yeah, we'll control the government for 50 years. He says, you know what? I want to watch that execution. That'll make my day better. I want to see him on a public block and get him be publicly executed. I think that would be justice. And what is the age they started debating about Charlie Kirk and the other people on
Starting point is 01:26:15 there? What age should you start to see public executions? RNC committee man, Tyler Boyer said 16 years old. Charlie Kirk's producer, Blake Neff said said 12-year-olds ought to be able to watch. Charlie Kirk said if you send the message to them, if you do a bad crime, you'll die. It'll be like this, and that will be you. It will be a positive message, and it should be taken in a holy way. Look, I support the death penalty.
Starting point is 01:26:43 I don't support our justice system. I don't think that they have the wisdom or the impartiality to decide these things adequately. But even if you've got somebody that there's no question about their guilt, and there is no question in my mind that if there is no question about somebody's guilt, that the death penalty is not appropriate, why would we celebrate that as a society uh why would we do what the saudis do
Starting point is 01:27:13 they have public executions does that make their society better chopping off people's heads chopping off people's hands is that really what we want to become i mentioned this because i am sick to death of grifters like charlie kirk glenn beck ben shapiro mark levin all trying to out bluster the next person pushing us into a more violent, more coarse society. And this is, again, Trump voters, a civil war if he loses. This is from The Mirror in the UK. And some of the quotes that they had, Karina Hunt from Texas said,
Starting point is 01:28:02 if it was like 2020, I think there'll probably likely be a civil war or some kind of revolution. This is what they're preparing. And the people at CPAC are preparing their followers for that as well. Another person, an activist campaigning on behalf of January the 6th people. So there's actually so much evidence. There was a lot of election fraud that went on. I think Americans would actually perceive that we do not have the capacity to hold elections anymore. I don't know how America will react, but it puts us in a constitutional crisis.
Starting point is 01:28:30 Let me tell you, I haven't met anybody that's got as low an opinion of the electoral process as I do because I was involved in it as a third party and third party campaigns. I know that it begins with the rigged ballots from both parties. I know that it also continues with the rigged debates. Even if you jump over their arbitrary hoops that don't apply to them, you don't get into the debates. I know about stuffing ballots with paper or with machines. I know how that got to be exponentially worse with electronic voting.
Starting point is 01:29:01 I've been talking about this for years. And we all knew what was going to happen with the mail-in ballots. Now, I played this for you last week, but I want you to hear this, and I want you to hear the follow-up of what one guy said about how Trump was completely owned with what happened in 2020. But here's Bannon talking a couple of weeks before the election, saying, oh, yeah, we knew all this stuff, and we know exactly how this thing is going to play out, and we're going to claim that the election was stolen.
Starting point is 01:29:31 And what Trump's going to do is just declare victory, right? He's going to declare victory. But that doesn't mean he's the winner. He's just going to say he's the winner. The Democrats, more of our people vote early that count. Theirs voted mail. And so they're going to have a natural disadvantage, and Trump's going to take advantage of it.
Starting point is 01:29:54 That's our strategy. He's going to clear himself a winner. So when you wake up Wednesday... See, that's it. That's it. And it goes on and on. I played that for you last week, so I won't play the full thing because I already played it once.
Starting point is 01:30:03 But I want to play this for you as well. Donald Trump did not have an effective anti-fraud operation before the election. Why not? Because he didn't know that with this flood of mail-in votes, and this is the central thesis. He didn't know it was going to be mail-in? COVID allowed the left to take off the shelf all of the ideas they had. Oh, allowed the left to do it. Handling election integrity. Well, he did it. It wasn't COVID. It was Trump's orders. Health rules.
Starting point is 01:30:29 You had unelected health bureaucrats. You had governors operating without the authority of the legislature. He paid them to do it. His orders. He paid them. And the orders basically meant there was a tsunami of mail-in votes that overwhelmed the system. Who knew?
Starting point is 01:30:40 There were not proper precautions. We all knew. Not safeguards taken. We all knew. And in some places, the mail-in vote exceeded the voting at the polls. We all knew. Not safeguards taken. We all knew. And in some places, the mail-in vote exceeded the voting at the polls. We all knew. Bannon knew it. Barr mentioned it.
Starting point is 01:30:53 Bernie Sanders mentioned it. I mentioned it. We all said, this is a recipe for massive fraud like we've never seen before. And Bannon said, yeah, that's right, and we're going to use that. Use it to do what to stay in office or to grift people out of 250 million dollars with your save america plan and your stop the steal thing that alex was running margaret cookman from long island said we're headed for a revolution that's what we're headed for they're already taking up arms right people are already arming themselves.
Starting point is 01:31:25 Well, again, this is what these clowns at CPAC were pushing. I'm glad there weren't a lot of people there. But you have to understand that Trump, his takeover of the RNC, as one person pointed out, is going to destroy the RNC from within. And one of the ways he's going to do it is with his daughter-in-law. Every single penny, she said, will go to the number one and the only job of the RNC, the only job, and that is electing Donald Trump. It doesn't matter whether you've got a Republican Congress, because you won't have a Republican Congress there.
Starting point is 01:32:00 It doesn't matter what happens at the state and local levels either, right? Any RNC might know we're not going to worry about anything except getting Trump elected. That's our only job, says Trump's daughter-in-law. Yeah, nepotism. Is she going to be the new Jared Kushner? We'll be right back.

It's your move and now the david knight show come back and thank you for the tips uh dougalog thank you very much for the tip and uh andromeda one thank you as well as i david i appreciate you and your family thank you well thank you very much for your support and again thank you to junk silver who has promised to match the contributions today
Starting point is 01:34:30 and so we really do appreciate that and appreciate him doing that um let's talk a little bit about christian nationalism and what i think is what we should focus on instead which is christian localism i spent half of the program here talking about the South Carolina primaries, what's going to happen in the presidential race, what's going on with CPAC. And I mentioned that not to boost up Biden, because I always hear from people, well, man, you support Biden or this or that, or you support Nikki Haley. Well, obviously, I don't. What I support is localism.
Starting point is 01:35:04 And the reason I spend the time talking about what's happening with CPAC and the rest of this stuff is so that you don't put your hopes in a national solution. We can get to a national solution, but we've got to get to it from a bottom-up solution. You've got to fix the local areas first before you can fix it there. And guess what? You've got to fix yourself first before you can fix what's local. That's why we put the Christian in there. It's not just localism.
Starting point is 01:35:36 It's Christian localism. I heard a genius statement from C.S. Lewis that I had not heard before. Came across it. He said, you've got all these people. And at the time he was addressing people who were pushing the social gospel, you know, people like the, he gets us people. Well, let's help our fellow man or anything. That's great. That's great. Um, but that's not the main thing. First, you got to get yourself right with God, right? And so CS Lewis says, uh, what do you say to people like that? He said, well, what would you say to the military officer who tells his soldier, soldier, that rifle is filthy, clean that.
Starting point is 01:36:12 And the soldier says, but sir, you don't understand the bigger issue out here. I've got other more important things to do. And it's like, no, you clean out the inside of your rifle first. We've got to have straight shooters, folks. We've got to have people who have cleaned out their inside, who have gotten right with God, who have made peace with God. Those are the only kind of people who are going to have really any kind of an effect on their own life, on the life of their family, on their community. You have to get that done first. Then after you get that done, yeah, absolutely.
Starting point is 01:36:49 Go out there and do something. But, you know, you got to, you got to touch first base first. Because otherwise, you know, you go around the bases. If you haven't touched first base, you're out. You're not going to have the power to do things. And the question is, in the long scheme of things, what does it really matter
Starting point is 01:37:10 if we fix America and we gain the whole world and lose our own soul? Does that make any difference? So I started talking about this the other day and I didn't finish with it. I didn't get to some of the more important stuff.
Starting point is 01:37:27 It was an article by Kurt Wagner, and he was talking about life in the negative world. And what he means by that is the fact that in our society, pre-1994, roughly, the society had a positive view of Christianity. Then we had about 10 years where we had, rather 20 years, where we had a negative view, a neutral view, right? Up until about 2014. Then since 2014, what have we had? We've had a negative view of Christianity. Maybe it's just a coincidence, but that was about the time that transgenderism started being pushed. And transgenderism is antithetical to Christianity.
Starting point is 01:38:11 Not just antithetical to Christ's moral instruction, but it's antithetical to reality, you see. This is postmodernism in the extreme, or I call it post-reality you can't even argue with people over facts or interpretation or understanding of anything if you can't even decide what a woman is there's no point of discussion about anything it's just we're going to be ruled by whoever's got the political clout and whoever screams the loudest in the media. And that's really what's come in with the transgenderism. He says, thinking about civilizational decline, the loss of rule of law,
Starting point is 01:38:53 at the national or even state level, can beggar the political imagination leave you at a loss as to what to do to actually do anything to fix it? I read this last week. He says, I'm very grateful for national politics and for cultural actors representing God and sanity. But for most people, focusing on national politics has a tendency to suck the civic oxygen out of the room, leaving little energy or will for much else.
Starting point is 01:39:19 And that's what we have to guard against. We have to understand what is happening. They say, think globally, act locally. We have to understand what they're against. We have to understand what is happening. They say, think globally, act locally. We have to understand what they're doing. We have to block it locally. And we have to not spend all of our time on the national issues. It says local government is where the political rubber meets the road. It can easily be judged based on the reaction these efforts get from mainstream media and broader political interests,
Starting point is 01:39:44 attracting the tireless attention of the proverbial eye of saron people on both the right and the left seem to instinctively know this things get real scary for the ostensibly afraid of the so-called christian nationalism boogeyman when it begins manifesting itself at the local level when you you have people who take a stand against DEI or take a stand against gun rights or marriage licenses or anything like that. He says, whether it's sheriffs or county clerks or school board members or local district attorneys, they're very afraid of this. That's the thing. They know that action has to be taken locally. And if we allow somebody to establish a precedent there locally,
Starting point is 01:40:29 oh, they're going to freak out about that. Just take a look, even without something that is necessarily about a moral issue, although it is a moral issue, the Amish farmer. That is now making Amos Miller. That's now in Pennsylvania. That's now making national headlines a national press is attacking them drudges got it up why because he's got to be stopped if he's allowed to grow his own food for his own
Starting point is 01:40:54 consumption and people who are part of a private club what's going to happen you see that one farmer scares them to death because it would set a very important precedent and they've got to push back against him. And so they're bringing out all the big guns in the press against Amos Miller. So he says Christians are pursuing national excellence and policies and politics and culture is a worthy goal. But he says it's just not a realistic goal for most Christians. He says, many ordinary Christians are just trying to find a
Starting point is 01:41:32 place to live where they can raise their families within a society that at least still acknowledges the Tao, the Tao. Now, that's a Chinese, I think, Buddhist term, maybe Confucius or something like that. What is that? Again, to define terms just like we're talking about life in the negative world, that was something that C.S. Lewis put out there. And what he is referring to, I would always have always called just natural law. The idea that there is an objective, rational, and moral order.
Starting point is 01:42:09 And C.S. Lewis called that the Tao. He said, when he talked about Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, you know, Greek and Roman society, even Islam, right? All these different religions, they understand that there is a rational and moral order to society. I think it is just a common enlightenment that God gives us.
Starting point is 01:42:34 You know, I think we all have that and we understand that and we can reject that as a society, just like people can have a society that goes into cannibalism. They know it's wrong, but it can become an accepted norm in a society. But anyway, he calls that whatever you want to call it. He said that most people are just looking for a place where that's going to be recognized. Right? We're not looking to impose our religious views and expression on other people. We just want to have some place where you recognize basic rational moral order
Starting point is 01:43:16 instead of what the Democrats are pushing. He says this doesn't necessarily signal a cowardly retreat or an ultimate defeat, but it's a realistic and practical assumption to have for most people in evangelical America. There is currently a dearth of high trust rooted in intergenerational communities that facilitate a family formation, that encourage living out Christian ethics, that support positive, explicitly Christian civic engagement. And it is doubtful if urban or other progressive centers, which are the magnets of the elite, whether they will ever be anywhere near fostering anything like this anytime soon. And so the first thing is we try to look for an area where they're not crazy, where there's a rational, moral order that's generally accepted by people, and then try to build on that foundation.
Starting point is 01:44:10 And he says, why local? Well, he said, America is an extremely vast country. Less than an hour's highway drive from any town or city in whichever direction usually leads to huge amounts of relatively unoccupied, undeveloped, minimally governed spaces. And like the U.S. highway system, another often overlooked and underappreciated yet ubiquitous aspect of American life is local or county or equivalent government. That political infrastructure quietly existing in the civic background of virtually every American.
Starting point is 01:44:43 I will argue in this essay that the already existing structures of American local government, if properly leveraged, are at least theoretically sufficient to serve as a political backdrop of a faithful Christian living in a quickly declining America. You see, Trump is not going to make sure that nobody touches the cross, whatever that means. When I, the beginning of this thing, 2020, and I say this thing because we're still in it. Yeah, there's been a ceasefire, but the war's not over. But at the beginning of all this, I remember interviewing several people who kept their churches open. One guy that was up in Illinois, or Pritzker, one of the worst of the governors, was threatening to have action. This guy said, oh, no, we're not closing down.
Starting point is 01:45:39 And he goes, the sheriff is here, but he's here to make sure that nobody interferes with us. He's a member of the church. And he's going to stop any of these Illinois state troopers if they come in here. He's got jurisdiction here. He's not going to let anything happen to people who are meeting in this church. You see, the importance of localism is what's lost when everybody focuses on Trump
Starting point is 01:45:59 and his trumped-up tribulations. And Trump is not focused on us. He's focused on himself. All he wants is to be worshiped. If Lindsey Graham will worship him, Lindsey Graham will get a spot at the podium. And Trump will intercede for Lindsey with his audience, booing Lindsey. Because the audience knows what Lindsey's about. The audience doesn't understand what Trump is about, you see.
Starting point is 01:46:24 That's the interesting thing in that clip that I had, but I didn't give to Travis today is that the audiences, they they've got Lindsay down. They got Mitch McConnell down. They've got Biden down. They don't know Trump. And so as he points out, he says, this is the, it is theoretically sufficient to serve as a political backdrop of faithful Christian living in a quickly declining America. As real world arenas for natural family life and freedom of religion in the public square, counties offer realistic options in the near to midterm. And in the long term, they could serve as potential springboards to greater actually viable state and national cultural and political action. We have to build from the ground up. We got people out there trying to build a new building of America.
Starting point is 01:47:22 And they want to begin at the top. Well, you don't build buildings like that. You got to go from the ground up. And you got to have a good foundation or that building is going to collapse. These people like Steve Bannon who are selling you the idea that we are going to fix America from the top down, they're selling you disaster. Disaster. America from the top down, they're selling you disaster, disaster. There are over 3,000 counties or equivalents in America.
Starting point is 01:47:51 This gives me great hope. He said, decentralization, decentralization, not putting all of your hopes in Washington, not all your hopes in the Oval Office. Decentralization will be the key going forward. And I would suggest that drilling down beyond the state into the county level is the right scale at this time for practical Christian self-governance. Most of the three C's, the campus, the coast, the city, the three C's that are squarely fixed in the negative world. In other words, the negative world of the campus where they hate Christians, the coast
Starting point is 01:48:27 where they hate Christians, and the cities where they hate Christians and Christ. He says, you have to understand, many suburban areas still have a lot of neutral world characteristics. Many rural areas are still in the positive world in a lot of ways. It's a particular matter of cultural influence and elite institutional power that makes the negative world areas, the campus, the coast, the city, seem so lopsidedly powerful, punching well above their weight in negativity, geographically speaking. You see, to make sure that nobody messes with churches, like shutting them down or something, it's going to take action at the local level. Trump wanted the churches shut down.
Starting point is 01:49:15 He was lecturing them, telling them they got to shut down. It was in the areas where you had better, you know, local officials, as I said many times, can make things better or worse. New York is a good example where they make everything worse. But you can stop that at the local level. Trump did nothing to stop it. As a matter of fact, he was the one who was propagating all these attacks from the federal level. For most people, the mere thought of local government, with its seemingly
Starting point is 01:49:47 petty and provincial details, things such as zoning and sidewalk committees and utilities and waste management and property taxes, can understandably make one's eyes glaze over. It doesn't exactly spark the imagination or inspire zeal. Real work is like that you know isn't it at the same time local government can also be so accessible and practical that once it is on one's mental radar one is almost without excuse for not getting involved to some degree and let me just, you know, even when you talk about something like zoning, the first one that he mentioned here,
Starting point is 01:50:27 um, when you had Andrew, uh, Yang, who ran in 2020, first thing he was talking about was universal basic income and so forth. And he got lots and lots of money from Elon Musk because that's where Elon Musk is.
Starting point is 01:50:39 His head is fully in globalism. Elon Musk, like Donald Trump is this massive deception to conservative to think that he's on their side. Both of these guys are fully engaged, 100% on the side of globalism, pretending that they're not. And so Elon Musk gave Andrew Yang, who was pushing universal basic income, a massive amounts of money. And then as, uh, he gets, um, uh, traction, he starts putting out other things and he starts focusing on some other issues. The next thing he goes to is getting rid of all zoning. That's the way the national government can destroy one of the few repositories
Starting point is 01:51:21 of wealth left in middle America. Just like Trump went after the small businesses and said, you're not essential. Shut down. We want Walmart and Amazon to be open, but not you. Shut down. So he says, as state governments are constitutionally sovereign, focusing locally at the county or the equivalent level means that the higher authority one is most likely dealing with is going to be the state government.
Starting point is 01:51:46 Here's some practical advice about this and understanding of where this is in the landscape. He said the state government acts as an intermediary between the local and the federal governments, but this serves as a buffer and as an added level of protection, not afforded at the state level, the local level does, which would be set up for direct challenges for the, which would not be set up for direct challenges, confrontation from federal actors. Not many have the stomach, not to mention the actual position, capacity, or skill for that kind of thing. So what he's saying is, you know you you work at the county level because the state government they're not really going to uh to take on the feds and we see this over and over again i said yeah that's it's good that we people are talking about that in texas at the border at eagle pass let's just talk you know this is not all these governors who are making a big show you know they're at the you know at the crack of dawn, they're sending out their National Guard troops on the plane.
Starting point is 01:52:50 That's all just for show. We're talking about a two-mile area and a 2,000-mile border. It's good that people are talking about the fact, well, you know, we ought to have the, the governors ought to be doing something about this. And they're right. But of course, in this particular case, the governors are still doing nothing. Except showboating. It's all for show. County Government 101.
Starting point is 01:53:11 Enough with the generalities. Let's get into the weeds. A few key concepts to know going forward in this essay revolve around what are called Dillon's Rule and Home Rule, along with a legal term, State Preemption. These are important terms when considering the feasibility of living out a positive local Christian vision within a viable legal framework. Every state's relationship with its counties, or its equivalents, is unique, generally being written into their constitutions, their state constitutions. And counties can vary widely within the same state.
Starting point is 01:53:46 I would encourage everyone to become familiar with their own state and their county details or the details of those in which they would be interested in living if you want to move. Some state constitutions allow for county home rule and charter, allowing for varying degrees of state constitutional county authority within their jurisdictions without direct specific approval from state legislatures. Other states control their counties in a much tighter way. And that's what he means by Dillon's rule versus home rule. Dillon's rule was a rule that was put out by a Supreme Court justice in the early 20th
Starting point is 01:54:24 century. And that is a, the guiding principle for that is to say, well, the state is going to decide these general things and you don't have that much. We're going to preempt pretty much what you do in your local county area. And the vast majority of states are either Dillon's rule rule or some mixture of Dylan's rule and home rule. There might be some areas where the state preempts, which are allowed to do at the county level. Uh, there are about, uh, eight or nine states where home rule is the rule, which is saying that state government basically gets out of the way. If you get good people there, um, or even if you get bad people, again, it's going to leverage that one way or the other.
Starting point is 01:55:12 The founding document, he says, of the United States, the Constitution is silent on local governments. Instead, the Ninth and Tenth Amendment reserve all powers not previously delegated or prohibited to the states or to the people. Therefore, each state is responsible for granting broad or limited authority to each local branch of government, such as counties, municipalities, school districts, and other political subdivisions. And so it's broken down between Dillon's rule and home rule. Home rule refers to the constitutional granting of municipalities, giving them more local control over their governing structures, policies,
Starting point is 01:55:45 even some legislative powers. Dillon's rule, on the other hand, views local governments as merely an agent of the state, created by and deriving all authority explicitly by law from the state legislature. I would just comment and say that this is the way that we are told by the national media and really by both political parties, pretty much. That everything that's done at the state, local level, that's all preempted by the federal government. Well, that's just not the way the Constitution is. That's clearly stated in the Ninth and Tenth Amendment.
Starting point is 01:56:19 And so within the state, there are certain things that can be done. And if you understand where you are in your particular state and you can look that up and again i can't address that in all the different states history reveals that contrary to modern assumptions local governments were not always seen as sub units of states but instead were often treated as voluntary quasi-private associations that possessed considerable power as a matter of custom. State preemption basically short-circuits any county's home rule by claiming legal authority over any given matter in which the county was getting involved. Now, this is what's interesting. He says, what is interesting is much of the work on developing strategies to protect home rule municipalities from preemption from states came from liberal-leaning lawyers concerned about red states preempting local governments. And you see this in certain things like, well nullification and interposition by a lot of left-leaning states on the drug war with marijuana.
Starting point is 01:57:33 And again, to look at the legal issues here, regardless of what we're talking about with these particular policies. And so we've also had in response to the sanctuary cities, we've had people who have said, well, we're going to be a sanctuary city for babies or we're going to be a sanctuary city that's not going to allow mutilation of children. And again, the problem that the people who have who are pushing sanctuary cities, the problem is, is that that power has largely been delegated to the federal government. And that's one of the reasons why I don't expect really to see much happening in terms of the governors pushing back against the federal government on this. But they would be pushing back and acting as an emergency basis to try to protect people from an imminent threat. Everybody agrees that it's an invasion. So they do have an opportunity to get involved in this particular type of thing, saying it's a massive invasion. That's a threat to the safety and the peace of the area. So we've got to get involved in this.
Starting point is 01:58:35 They can make that case. They should make that case. But in other areas like the sanctuary cities, they're trying to preempt something that it really is the federal government's prerogative. That's why I've opposed the sanctuary cities for immigration, but I've supported the ones that say, well, we're going to support the Second Amendment. They're just saying we're going to support the Constitution. Or who say that we're going to not allow mutilation of children. To continue with this, because I think this is the key thing here. We've got to have this vision of local decentralized government. And what do you want from government?
Starting point is 01:59:17 You've got to have, you can't win a cultural war if you don't have a vision of what your culture is. And you can't win a spiritual war if you don't't have a spiritual vision about this and you've got to understand what some of the legal mechanisms are in this. And I can't give that to you because it's different everywhere. It's different in all these different places. Again, there's 3000 counties.
Starting point is 01:59:36 How am I, how could I keep up and make a recommendation about who to vote for? That's one of the reasons why it's not talked about by the national media. Other people will tell you that it's not important. We've got to just get the right guy in the White House. We've got to have an orange Caesar. Well, I don't want that. Keeping spiritually, culturally, and politically motivated migration more local
Starting point is 01:59:57 would also mitigate the risks of losing the resiliency needed to survive and thrive in the negative world. By not being uprooted from church community, extended family, longtime friends, and other networks, Christians can maintain a proper support system made over time through longstanding social resources and spiritual connections. If, like us, you have moved around a lot as an engineer, we follow jobs around for the longest time, try to get into an area and try to start making a connection to the people who have been there multi-generational, people who do have a connection to the land.
Starting point is 02:00:40 That's a key thing. And so finally, the county-level lesser magistrates. So we've talked about many, many times with Matt Trujillo, the doctrine of the lesser magistrate. Just to summarize, four points. Lesser magistrates already possess lawful God-given authority, which they may invoke. Number two, lesser magistrates have been supported
Starting point is 02:01:00 by any in their successful bid to achieve office. Therefore, they have an established power base of popular support already in place. Number three, lesser magistrates usually have constitutional precedent and law on their side so that, in other words, there is some heritage or history to which they can appeal. Number four, lesser magistrates already have access to a public forum by which they can articulate the particulars of the grievances involved. You're not going to hear Steve Bannon or Jack Posobiec or any of these people trying to push us into a civil war at CPAC. You're not going to hear them talking about how to do it properly. You're not going to hear them talking about a lesser magistrate, somebody who already has a base of support,
Starting point is 02:01:50 somebody who already has a public forum and all the rest of these things. They're not going to talk about that. They don't have a solution. While Christians pursue involvement in local government and wield delegated authority and real power, there needs to be an acknowledgement and accounting of the political costs involved or the potential costs. Local level lesser magistrates, if interposing effectively for their people
Starting point is 02:02:13 against higher authorities, would be risking a lot and would need an extraordinary amount of courage and support. Don't do one of these high noon things, right? You get the sheriff out there and it's like, okay, well, Frank Miller's coming back with his gang. Everybody shuts the doors and hides inside, right?
Starting point is 02:02:32 If you've got somebody out there who's willing to take a stand, you stand behind them. It's that simple. By the way, the COVID error, E-R-R-O-R is how I would say that, provided an excellent litmus test as to how effectively lesser magistrate interposition was practiced in that context. And it could serve as a way to gauge whether or not one is willing to go through a similar
Starting point is 02:02:55 scenario with a similar local or state government over them again. Finally, in conclusion, he says, as the Pax Americana starts to crumble, as the nation continues to polarize and decline under God's judgment, state and local governments in particular may soon become one of the last bastions of traditional American self-governance. Christians will naturally continue to seek out communities that share their values and where a relatively high level of basic societal trust can be built and maintained. Pockets of local Christendom can politically reseed America after further decline or even collapse. He says, though, at this point, many Christians would gladly, and he says surprisingly rightly support a red Caesar,
Starting point is 02:03:46 I don't think that would be right. I think that is immoral and I think it is impractical. This whole idea of a benevolent dictator should be anathema to anybody who knows anything about history. And we should understand that benevolent dictators, even if one were to exist, will quickly be replaced by other dictators who are not benevolent.
Starting point is 02:04:11 We do not want a dictatorship. And yet you continually see people on the right flirting with this. Trump winking, oh yeah, I'll be a dictator on day one, but only for one day. I've been disgusted by this kind of thing since you had William Bennett gladly accept the idea of being drug czar. America should not have a drug czar. By the way, czar just means Caesar, right? Caesar, czar, Kaiser, these autocratic rulers, all patterned after Caesar across the Rubicon and ended the Roman Republic and established an emperor,
Starting point is 02:04:53 himself as emperor. We don't want that. Anyway, he says, the beauty of strategizing at the local level. He says, I understand that's a temptation. And he agrees with that. Well, maybe that would be good. No, it's not. Go back to his original thesis.
Starting point is 02:05:10 That is not a solution. An orange or red dictator is not the solution, folks. The beauty of strategizing at the local level is that it is evergreen advice. No matter what is happening at the state, national, or imperial levels, whether good or evil, local focus will always matter and will always be what we should be doing anyway. That's the key.
Starting point is 02:05:38 All politics is local. Always has been. Always will be. And that is both a hope and a concern. Should be anyway. We'll be right back. Thank you. Sous-titres par LaVacheSquid Thank you. Making sense common again. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Yeah, I can't stress how important it is for us to focus on both Christian and local.
Starting point is 02:07:43 That really needs to be the path. And to focus on ourselves. You never know how God is going to work, for example. I look at Google's Gemini pictures, and it makes me laugh every time I look at this. I know a lot of people get really angry about this, I guess we'd call it cultural misappropriation. But of course, what has happened since then,
Starting point is 02:08:07 people have been looking at some statements from google after google just turned off the image generation thing it was just so bad you know like show me an american revolutionary soldier well they're all uh black or asian or american indian or something it's like what you can't get it to do a Caucasian. Even if you say, show me a 17th century Scottish, black people again, you know, it's cartoonish. But the key thing is, is that you can talk to people about the chat programs and how biased they are. But one picture is worth a thousand prompts, right? Worth a thousand words.
Starting point is 02:08:43 You just look at a couple of these pictures and you just get it. You understand how rigged this AI is and how rigged this whole process is and how rigged Google is. And so when you stop and think about it, you know, that is, I think, very, very, very effective in terms of waking people up. It's one of the most effective things I think we've seen to waking them up to this game of bias and the rest of it. You never know how God is going to work in a situation like that to change people's hearts and minds. And so we should not despair. We should not set ourselves on fire or put a shotgun in our mouths and blow our head off. I just saw that as well. Some person who was a porn star, OnlyFans thing or something, just blew her head off
Starting point is 02:09:29 with a shotgun. It's like, you know, that is, we all have issues. If we don't understand how to deal with these things, we can always make those issues much, much worse. And I know she killed herself, right? How much worse does it get? Well, it gets worse because, you know, there's eternal consequences to anything that we do, good or bad. There really are.
Starting point is 02:09:50 We have, and again, Junk Silver has kindly agreed to match tips today. And so we've got a lot of tips that have come in. I want to thank people for that. Thank Junk Silver. Radis Bro, thank you for the tip. Let's see. Just shift it here yeah um on rumble uh uh junk silver says thanks everyone who supports this amazing broadcast
Starting point is 02:10:12 invest in truth and logic right here thank you very much i appreciate that thank you again bradis bro thank you for the tip um uh sheller or a Shelly or I can't tell if that's an I or an L. Um, thank you very much. And the comment was pray. Yes, absolutely. Um, and that is a weapon that we have. Uh, well, I haven't got a prayer. Well, you've always got a prayer and it's not the last resort that you should turn to.
Starting point is 02:10:43 Um, on rumble stealth Patriot, thank you very much. Good morning, David. Back to work after five months and unable to listen live, but just a few minutes. I'm sure it's a great show, and I'll catch it later. Keep up the good work. Well, thank you very much, Stealth Patriot. On Rumble, Conservative Thinker, thank you for the tip.
Starting point is 02:11:00 He says, I'll make an additional $500 match if you can go the rest of the day without talking about the worst president in American history. I can't do that. John Silver replies, the conservative thinker David can make way more than 500 if he did that. As a Trump military industrial complex sycophant, David would be a multimillionaire. Well, we don't know. Where was that? I'm thinking of the Bible as a prayer. Maybe it's Psalms. Don't make me poor or wealthy. I don't want to be in those two extremes. Middle class is good.
Starting point is 02:11:36 Otherwise, wealth becomes a trap. We often talk about one of the traps of our society being affluenza. People have called it that. I think it's a good way. It's like an influenza, right? It's contagious. And the more wealthy and the more comfortable we become, the more of a power it holds over us because we don't want to lose that comfort, that freedom that money brings.
Starting point is 02:11:59 And the more we look to that as our savior and as our God, that's the trap. That's why I think one of the reasons why Jesus says the love of money is root of all evil. It is a trap. I mean, you look at the people who are really, really wealthy. They are so afraid to lose it. That's why Trump must not be getting any sleep. He's looking at this stuff. They came after him him they came after the essence of the man which is his greed uh i don't agree with what they're doing in new york but i gotta say they certainly do understand him don't they um on let's see stealth patriot uh i read that one um let's see
Starting point is 02:12:42 um okay rock fan andromeda one thank you very much for the tip uh thank you to the gentleman who is matching funds that's junk silver thank you very much on rock fan james thank you for the tip uh rumble yj 72 thank you as well he says thank you junk silver for matching tips thank you david and family my in-laws can't get over two-party the paradigm. They want to stay blind and trust mainstream. Jojo is bad, but Trump will fix it. Yeah, no, local, local, local, local, local. That's right. We got to get back to fundamental principles.
Starting point is 02:13:15 We got to have a foundation. We got to build from the ground up. We need to have real grassroots groundwork. We don't need this astroturf stuff from the top down. It's not going to work. I've seen this all my life, and it's only getting worse every cycle. It used to be that only the Democrats put all of their hope in centralized government because they wanted to lord it over people and dictate things to
Starting point is 02:13:43 other people. But now the conservatives, the MAGA people, want to get even. They want revenge. They want to lord it over people. That is the legacy of Donald Trump and what he has done and is doing to the Republican Party. And you're going to see, I think, even more people want to become independent of that. Finally, on Rockfan, Bob Cole, thank you very much for the tip. He says, thanks for keeping us informed, Dave. Well, thank you for your support. I really do appreciate that.
Starting point is 02:14:12 By the way, I want to get back to this. This was, I had a listener on the AMA segment last week, and they wanted to, suggestions about how to prevent their newborn that has to be born in a hospital because it's a cesarean section they wanted tips on what they could do to protect them against vaccination and so i had another listener come in in response to that and with some more ideas this is from susan So thank you very much, Susan. And she said, she said, you suggested get a lawyer. She said, I agree with that 100%. I do as well.
Starting point is 02:14:54 You know, you, and I'll just restate that. What I said was, you know, talk to your doctor, talk to the hospital, see where these people are coming from, but also talk to a lawyer, have the lawyer do a letter for you that you can present to them. And it's like, back off. We're going to do informed consent. You do not have my consent to vaccinate my child or vaccinate my wife or any of the rest of this stuff.
Starting point is 02:15:19 That is, you know, hopefully they'll pay attention to it. But again, you know, the hospitals have become monstrous, as we saw during 2020, putting do not resuscitate orders on patients against their family's wishes and against the patient's wishes and killing people. But anyway, they listed another resource, and I want to get this out to the listener as well as to everybody listening. Just this morning, says Susan, I came across a video put out in 2020 by a group called Informed Consent Express,
Starting point is 02:15:50 and they spell that with just an X, not E-X, but Informed Consent X, the letter X, press. It's called Do Vaccines Make Us Healthier? It's based on three independent studies comparing the health of vaccinated children versus unvaccinated children. It's like we're talking about with the Amish, right? The conclusion is what we've known all along, that children that have never been vaccinated
Starting point is 02:16:16 are vastly healthier than vaccinated children and that the chronic illnesses experienced by vaccinated children cause, among other things, a cash drain on our so-called health system while creating a cash cow for big pharmaceutical companies. Yep. And,
Starting point is 02:16:34 uh, we have, what is it? Six dozen or so vaccines. Now they want to stick in kids in just the first few years. Um, all the conclusions at the conclusion of the video though it states that based on these studies in 2021 informed consent express initiated a federal lawsuit to seek legal protections i
Starting point is 02:16:54 haven't been able to find anything more about this lawsuit however on their website under blogs the first article is called what parents need to know About Shots for Their Newborns. And it has a list of additional measures that parents can take to prevent their baby from becoming a pin cushion in the hospital, which your inquiring listener may find helpful. I would definitely add get a lawyer to that list. And then she gives a personal testimony of what has happened in her life with this. She says, my husband Dave and I were merchant mariners for many years. In order to work, we had to routinely receive shots for every conceivable disease on the planet.
Starting point is 02:17:37 To be honest, neither of us thought much about the vaccines one way or the other until I received a wake-up call. We were anticipating going back to work after some time off, which we needed, to have physicals and to get up-to-date on any vaccines. At the time, we were out of state in Arizona, just sightseeing. We had our company arrange it so that we could have our physicals done there at a local clinic. Turns out I needed to get up-to to date on several vaccines, which they pumped into me one after the other.
Starting point is 02:18:08 We left the clinic and headed off to do some sightseeing. Along the way, in addition to a very sore arm, I started to feel extremely lethargic. That progressed to almost catatonic. It took tremendous effort to move my limbs. I was getting really frightened. I told my husband what was going on. Poor guy. This was before everyone had cell phones. We're in the middle of nowhere in an unfamiliar location. What was he supposed to do now? He stopped the truck and helped me out. He supported me and slowly walked me around, hoping that whatever this was
Starting point is 02:18:41 would wear off. And thanks God, thank God it did. I eventually began to start to feel a little bit better and a little bit more like myself. Over the course of the next day, I recovered fully, but it scared the pants off of both of us. That prompted our own research into vaccines, and we became staunch opponents of any vaccines since then. Similar to our experience with the family. And once you do your research, you can call me anti-vax as a, I wear that label with pride. I am an anti-vaxxer as committed to against vaccines. I'm not going to tell anybody any vaccine is sugar water, Alex.
Starting point is 02:19:29 These are telling people that COVID, like, oh, it's Trump's vaccine. It's good. It's like sugar water. It's dead or weakened. It's like, yeah, no, it's MRA. It's genetic code injection. But I was always anti-vaccine since we had an experience just like they did. And by the way, I have, since we became any vaccine, I've started paying a lot more attention.
Starting point is 02:19:47 I've seen a lot of people get a flu shot and immediately get Guillain-Barre syndrome. Sometimes it wears off. I've seen, I've had friends who got Guillain-Barre syndrome after a flu shot and it wore off after a couple of weeks. They had to be hospitalized and things like that. Who knows what's going to come back?
Starting point is 02:20:05 And this has been around for a very long time. You go back to the original swine flu debacle that was talked about on 60 Minutes by Mike Wallace, Chris Wallace's dad, who actually did some, he had his political biases, of course, but he did some real reporting, unlike Chris. But again, you know, but he did some real reporting, unlike Chris. But again, you know, it was Guillain-Barre syndrome. That was a person that they were focusing on, and that was the key thing then. And that's still there, and they've added to it.
Starting point is 02:20:35 Anyway, she said, I wanted to help the listener. His wife is expecting a baby. But, you know, why is it even necessary to beg for informed consent when from the website it says the law classifies vaccines as unavoidably unsafe products alongside chainsaws, guns, and parachutes? Yeah, well, the problem was is that we had Trump pushing people out of the airplane with a parachute maybe that worked, maybe didn't, but it wasn't tested. They just packed it at warp speed and didn't even bother to do that. So what is happening in Florida? Well, we have their Surgeon General Latipo is defying CDC recommendations on measles now as well as the COVID shot, which is really good. And he was put in there specifically to push back against the COVID shots by DeSantis,
Starting point is 02:21:33 which again is good. I cheered DeSantis when he did that. And you stop and think about this. We've got 50 state surgeon generals. We've got one, one who has pushed back against the covet shots and that one is also pushing back against measles as well so you've got articles being written by mainstream press uh usa today is this article it was linked by the drudge report uh florida and florida surgeon general defies the cd CDC recommendations as measles cases spread in the state.
Starting point is 02:22:07 So what? Who cares? Who cares? Well, you know, Trump cared. They have to get the shot. Yeah. Vaccinations are so important. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:22:15 2019. They're going around now. They have to get their shot. Yeah. You said that about the measles mandates, the MMR. We don't care what your medical reasons are. No exemptions. We don't care what your religious exemptions are.
Starting point is 02:22:30 You're going to get it. What was that that Trump was saying? Nobody's going to touch the cross or whatever. Well, you got any religious concerns about your vaccine? He doesn't care. Doesn't care. It's going around. I've been told it's going around.
Starting point is 02:22:44 You're going to get your shot. I don't care. Doesn't care. It's going around. I've been told it's going around. You're going to get your shot. I don't care. And so, you know, this is, um, and as I've said many times, Trump is older than me. He grew up at a time when there was no measles shots, but he knows that this is not a life threatening disease. Look, anybody can die from anything. You can die from the flu, but we've all had a lot of cases of the flu we don't typically die usually that happens when somebody's got some other complications the same thing is true of
Starting point is 02:23:12 these childhood diseases that they put together with this mmr stuff and now they're freaking out six children at Manatee Bay Elementary School near Fort Lauderdale caught the disease, the disease, caught measles over the week ago. Can you imagine? I mean, come on. Many of you are my age. Can you imagine this being a newsworthy item that you got six kids with measles? Are you kidding me?
Starting point is 02:23:42 Yeah. Our parents, Karen and I talk about this all the time. When we were kids, you know, our parents were like, all right, get down the streets, got the measles, go hang out with them so we can get this over with. Right. Karen had, you know, the four siblings within three years of each other. She's got a twin brother. And so when somebody got the measles or they got chicken pox or they got mumps or whatever, send everybody down there.
Starting point is 02:24:06 Let's do a sleepover so we can get this thing over with. All the kids sick at once. I can handle that. And we're done. And we're done for life. You got lifetime immunity to these things. They're a lot more serious if you get them as an adult than if you get them as a child. But guess what?
Starting point is 02:24:19 When you get an injection, you don't have lifetime immunity. And I've covered this many times. You have these measles outbreaks. There was one in particular I remember in New York that had four cases in the national news, four cases of measles. What a joke. And then when they looked at it, they said all of the people have been vaccinated. Some of them have had boosters, have been vaccinated two or more times for measles,
Starting point is 02:24:45 MMR. And patient zero had been vaccinated multiple times. The first person that turned up with it, that then gave it to three other people. So it's a joke. It really is a joke. So it's a Florida is one of 11 states that have seen cases, measles cases this year. Well, what's their explanation for the other 10 states?
Starting point is 02:25:18 Anyway, the measles outbreak in Florida grows. Six people. Latipo said Manatee Bay parents and guardians could decide whether to send their children back to school. They said, well, this is a statement that conflicts with federal and medical professional recommendations that children from the school should remain at home to prevent the spread of the measles. The CDC recommends that unvaccinated children exposed to measles be isolated for three weeks. How dare him? Countermand that. Health experts are concerned.
Starting point is 02:26:00 This is a state surgeon general saying that he's not going to enforce any of the tenets of public health in the name of freedom, said Dr. Paul Offit, who has been one of the biggest watchdogs for the pharmaceutical industry pushing this stuff everywhere and even paul offit at the beginning of this warp speed debacle by trump said i'm concerned about the fact this is being rushed out so quickly he says if we start having a lot of people uh with adverse effects from this Trump shot. He said that's going to bring up vaccine hesitancy. Well, guess what? That's exactly what's happening. Offit said the only freedom Latipo is upholding is the freedom to harm.
Starting point is 02:26:39 You see, people who are not vaccinated are harming other people, according to him and according to USA Today. Ron DeSantis tapped Latipo to be Surgeon General in 2021, in part because of his vocal opposition to the COVID vaccine mandates and school closures. Last month, Latipo said that the mRNA COVID vaccines pose health risks. Didn't you hear Alex say that it's just sugar water? Oh, okay. I guess he disagrees with Alex.
Starting point is 02:27:08 Define federal approvals and scientific consensus. Another doctor, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics, says this is a vaccine preventable disease. Well, you want to know how you prevent Guillain-Barre syndrome? You want to know how you prevent autism and shingles and uh heart attacks in children blood clots these amyloids plugging up people's but you know how you prevent that yeah no vaccine and by the way these people who these six kids nobody died nobody died and yet they freaked out in la that's when they started doing this stuff in 2019 they freaked out in new york they freaked out in la they started mandating
Starting point is 02:27:52 these things as a preparation for what trump was going to do the next year but um they uh they freaked out about that but nobody nobody ever died. Nobody ever died. Instead, they got lifetime immunity to measles. Instead, you could get your vaccine. You would not have lifetime immunity to measles, but you might get a lifetime disability, or you might die from that, because people do die from the vaccines vaccines let's not forget that as well
Starting point is 02:28:27 people say well you know we have people who i've got i've got a case that i know of somebody died of measles well guess what i've got a lot of cases i know of that people died from the vaccine so you want to let's compare notes here let's talk about risk let's talk about safety and efficacy and all the rest of this stuff. The reality is that these MMR shots, there's no reason for them. No reason for them whatsoever. CDC says about one in five children who become ill end up in the hospital. Well, I think that's either a total lie or that is an indication of how over-medicalized and hospitalized our society has become for no reason at all. Fauci lied and hundreds of thousands of children died due to the COVID vaccine, due to the Trump shots, according to a CDC report that they've been hiding.
Starting point is 02:29:30 Little did the public know the truth about the COVID vaccines safety, the Trump vaccine. That had been buried deep within Fauci's own lies and deceit and confidential U.S. government and Pfizer documents. Fauci used propaganda lies, manipulation to coerce patients into getting their children vaccinated. A very long article from the expose. I've told you all this information. I've been telling you this for years. I'm not going to go into the details of this. But then I thought this was interesting from the Brownstone Institute. Government investment into vaccines hasn't paid off.
Starting point is 02:29:57 So here is a pragmatic economic argument against vaccines. Forget the idea that we're going to trash your informed consent. The government declares that it has the right to do anything it wants to, to you, to your body. Not my body, my choice. Again, all these abortionists and people promoting that stuff, they need to shut up until they start fighting the vaccines and the lack of conformed consent. And then, of course, we've got other things to shut them up.
Starting point is 02:30:28 But you don't even get a right to talk about my body, my choice, because all these people, without virtually any exception, all supported the vaccine mandates, the ones saying my body, my choice. They just want to kill babies. And perhaps that's why they supported the vaccine mandates. You think government investment into vaccines has not paid off. And so with this, they talk about all the money and all the research and all the rest of this stuff. The fact that the mRNA vaccines are an offspring of George Bush's war on terror. Oh, you better believe it. As I've said many times, it was the other shoe to drop from the 9-11 false flag.
Starting point is 02:31:08 And it dropped, the first part of it dropped two months before 9-11. And then they rolled out their model state legislation after the anthrax attack one week after 9-11. And then they practiced it for 20 years. The two are tied together. The war of vaccines is part of the war on terror. And the war on terror, just like the Patriot Act, has always been directed inward to us. And it began with a false flag,
Starting point is 02:31:37 and it ended with a false flag pandemic. The Vaccine Injury Compensation Program has a 10- year backlog of claims. And again, they won't talk about the prep act. Great. They talk about the distinction between the prep act and the Fauci childhood vaccine thing.
Starting point is 02:31:56 This is a 10 years. And as they point out, you're not likely to get a penny anyway. The prep act that was done in 2005 for this particular thing remember they did the first war game dark winter two weeks before they did the false flag anthrax attack then they did the model state legislation then in 2000 that was all in 2001 then they did in 2005 the prep act which would uh hold the vaccine companies harmless for what they planned on doing and they did 15 years later in 2020 and they really tightened it down even more so than the childhood
Starting point is 02:32:33 vaccines uh this also from oh sorry this is not from brownstone this is from daily skeptic the fairy tale of pandemic risk outbreaks of diseases associated with death at an average age of about 80, or even purely hypothetical, are now sufficient reason to close workspaces, close schools, upend economies, convince people to turn on their noncompliant neighbors. Oh, they're harming other people, right? The result, while impoverishing many, has driven an unprecedented concentration of wealth. That's exactly what Trump did, right? We closed workspaces, schools. We upended the economy. We had people turning on their noncompliant neighbors.
Starting point is 02:33:26 Got to wear that mask. Got to stay six feet apart. Got to shut down the stores. Got to shut down the restaurants. You're not essential. All the rest of this stuff. And what was a result of that? More concentration of wealth.
Starting point is 02:33:39 Even when you look at it from the economic standpoint. There isn't any angle at which you can look at what Trump did. But of course, everybody who talks about it, it was COVID who did it. No, no, it was the government. And the people who were in charge of the government are responsible. I mentioned this earlier before, briefly, the Australian Medical Association wants to remove a vaccine skeptic off the ballot in the upcoming election.
Starting point is 02:34:08 Australian Medical Association, they've got an AMA just like we do, has weighed in declaring the Liberal Party's preselection of a COVID vaccine critic as, quote, untenable. Remove her from the ballot. And again, when we talk about the Liberal Party in Australia, think of it as the Libertarian Party. That's why it was really surprising to see Gladys Berjiklian coming down as such an authoritarian. Because again, as I said before, it doesn't matter what your party label is. It doesn't matter what your stated political philosophy is. Everybody was in lockstep globally.
Starting point is 02:34:45 We have global governance. It's running through the UN, through the WHO, through the UN's IPCC climate change, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. It runs through the WHO, and it's implemented by each and every one of these governments who always have their head of state or one level below it attend all these globalist functions so they can coordinate what they're going to do behind closed doors. That's what's going on, folks. They have a public face, except for some of them like Bilderberg.
Starting point is 02:35:16 They don't have a public presentation. Davos does. This World Government Summit does. But behind closed doors, that's where they're conspiring together to do this stuff. Breathing together to make this stuff happen. Well, the doctor in question is Dr. Julie Sladen, a medical doctor who, after decades of practice, surrendered her professional registration in 2021 over her refusal to be vaccinated against COVID. Since then, Dr. Sladen has been active in politics and the media, frequently writing critical op-eds for the topics of pandemic policies and vaccine safety, and consulting
Starting point is 02:35:57 to federal Liberal MP Russell Broadbent, co-founding the not-for-profit Australians for Science and Freedom. And for that, the Medical Association wants her removed off the ballot. They're out of their authority, aren't they? Or are we still operating under medical martial law? You see, this pandemic was always political. It was never medical. And I would say this, the this the ama whether you're talking about america australia the ama is a political organization not a medical organization
Starting point is 02:36:32 they are selling treatments and other things that are designed to make them money they've been put together and fostered by groups like the rockefeller foundation that are depopulationist. And that is where they are hanging out. Uh, so, uh, one last thing before we take a break here, uh, and that is, um, uh, and I mentioned this briefly last week and that was Andrew Bridgen. And he has taken, just like this one doctor in Australia, Andrew Bridgen, who's a member of parliament in the UK, took all this stuff on.
Starting point is 02:37:15 He tried to get hearings. Nobody's interested. Finally, he did some kind of a thing where he was able to, you know, not really have anybody to debate him, but he was able to read this in. Nobody showed up. Nobody in parliament. He's the only person, the only person in parliament that cares anything about this. And he said, you know, not all the apples in the barrel were rotten, but all the apples at the top of the barrel are rotten. And any apple that wants to rise to the top has to rot on the way up,
Starting point is 02:37:49 or else you're not going to go up. He said, I was offered inducements over two years ago to keep quiet. And the offer was, anything you want. Just tell us what you want. And again, when I mentioned this last week, I said, isn't that what Satan said to Jesus? You know, all the kingdoms of the world are mine to give to you. Just bow down and worship me. Yeah, that was a real temptation because he really had that power.
Starting point is 02:38:19 Anyway, so as I went back to them, I said, well, if I can have anything I want, I think probably the resignation letter of the current prime minister would probably be a good start, and we didn't go any further. He said, this is all carrot and stick, and I've been offered the carrot. I didn't take that, so therefore you have to have the stick. He said the punishment, his punishment, was to be dismissed from the conservative party. By the way, the prime minister, Liz trusts, who was prime minister for 45 days before they pushed her out.
Starting point is 02:38:50 Um, you know, she was speaking at CPAC. Um, did she oppose the vaccine? Not to my knowledge. Um, anyway,
Starting point is 02:39:00 uh, he was dismissed from the conservative party. He said, I had my reputation destroyed. And it was also to be a lesson to others that if you speak out, Anyway, he was dismissed from the conservative party. He said, I had my reputation destroyed. And it was also to be a lesson to others that if you speak out, this is what's going to happen to you. Well, again, if you have a hope outside of this life, you can say to people, bring it on. I don't know if he's a Christian or not, but he certainly is a man of integrity and principle.
Starting point is 02:39:30 And there are so few of them around. He said that scared them. And between the coercion, the bribery, and the corruption, they've got the vast majority of elected officials doing things that are certainly not in the interest of the public. And as you know, said Andrew Bridgen, the symbol of our parliament is a portcullis, the metal gate inside the draw bridge of the castle, the last defense of the castle. It's like a crisscrossed thing.
Starting point is 02:39:54 Well, I'm afraid our castle has already been taken. The keep has been infiltrated. I don't mind going on the walls to defend the castle, but all the arrows are hitting me in the back. They're coming from the inside. As I've said so many times about Donald Trump, before somebody can stab you in the back, they first got to get behind you.
Starting point is 02:40:17 Nobody would have ever trusted Hillary Clinton to do any of the things that Donald Trump did to us in 2020, he was able to do every single one of those because he had already conditioned everybody to believe that he was, no matter what he did, he was not on the side of the globalist. Even if everything he did was for the globalists, we had people like Alex Jones saying he's playing 40 chess. Well, you were being played.
Starting point is 02:40:41 You were being played for a pawn. If you believed any of that, he said, I think it's not an exaggeration to say that politicians around the world have committed an act of treason against the people. Benedict Donald is absolutely right. We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. Looking for better information?
Starting point is 02:41:04 APSradioNews.com features articles and commentary, along with audio from all the top news from around the world. APSradioNews.com. © transcript Emily Beynon um Analyzing the globalist's next move. And now, The David Knight Show. Well, I liked this headline from the Babylon Bee. We were talking earlier about Google and Gemini and how phony all of that stuff is. And as they hide the pictures, people are starting to look a little bit more closely at what it's saying and saying,
Starting point is 02:42:54 this is even worse than the pictures if you stop and think about what it's pushing to us. This is from Babylon Bee. You may have heard of AI, but did you know there's another wise, all-knowing friend you can talk to day or night? And actually, I think this is an op-ed that's for real. It is kind of a satire. A youth pastor saying, you may have heard about this new thing people are calling artificial intelligence.
Starting point is 02:43:21 Well, it's like having this all-knowing friend that you can message at any moment because they literally never sleep you can ask anything like can you eat hot dogs frozen or where did i park my bicycle it's always there waiting for you to talk to it does that sound familiar he says well he says there's someone else that you can ask anything for that's always there for you his name isn't Grok or Gemini. His name is Jesus. What if instead of putting prompts into chat GPT, we waited on prompts from the Holy Spirit? If the power goes out, you may not be able to access Grok, but you can still access Jesus. You don't have to even type your questions in.
Starting point is 02:44:01 You can talk right to him, just like you would talk to Alexa. But unlike Alexa, Jesus always understands what you're trying to say. And he always has a good answer. And, you know, he may not give you the answer that you want, but it's the answer that's the best for you. He's got anticipatory intelligence as well as all of that. He says he never goes offline. You never have to worry about him being reprogrammed or to
Starting point is 02:44:27 stop being racist. He says, let's bring our questions to Jesus. And he says, and also, if anybody knows where I park my bike, please call the church office. Yeah, you know, it's interesting. We were just talking about that this weekend. I just had a church. It was a lesson on prayer and everything. I keep thinking about George Mueller. That was not part of the lesson, but, you know,
Starting point is 02:44:57 somebody who had an amazing history in his life because he kept a diary. It really is important for you to write these things down. So you see it working. You asked for all kinds of things. And one of my favorite stories is one where I have speaking engagement in New York. They want to ship because this is back in the 1800s. He lived terrible fog and they couldn't see anything.
Starting point is 02:45:21 The captain shut it down. He comes down. He says, I'm sorry, you're going to miss this. We're going to be, we can't, can't move. You're're going to miss this. We're going to be, we can't move. You're going to miss your speech. We're going to be quite a bit late. And he said, no, I've just prayed about that. And he said, the fog will be lifted.
Starting point is 02:45:34 And the captain's like, yeah, well, okay, whatever. He goes up and it was completely clear. And that captain went back down and talked. He became a Christian. And the rest of his life, he was known as Holy Joe. That was his name, that captain. Because he was telling everybody else about that and how his life had changed. If you just believe and trust in God and you act in a way that is going to glorify God, of course, that's the other part of it, right?
Starting point is 02:46:05 That goes without saying. But, you know, he's never too busy. We don't have to find some intermediary. We don't have to pray to saints or anybody else because Jesus is too busy. He's not too busy. As a matter of fact, there is only one mediator between God and man. So, you know, if you're looking for your bicycle, we've prayed about things like that. And I mean, over and over again, and we don't even write all these things down.
Starting point is 02:46:34 But in my family, we've seen this, seen machines fixed that we worked on for a long time. All of a sudden, let me stop. You know, I never did really ask God for this. And it glorifies God to see you ask for some little things like that, that you've not been able to accomplish, and then you find that immediately you can. I have that testimony over and over again. I just have not recorded it, unfortunately, like George Mueller. But, you know, if you lost your bicycle, you don't need to pray to St. Orville to find it.
Starting point is 02:47:07 It glorifies God to do that. Kirk Cameron is on a podcast. He said, the command to turn the other cheek does not mean that we tolerate tyranny or evil. And he's exactly right. He said, we should be intolerant when it comes to evil and to tyranny. Interestingly enough, he did this on a podcast with Tim Pool. Tim Pool, who says when he talked to him about the evil that was done by Trump.
Starting point is 02:47:38 Okay, okay, I'm so tired of talking about that. Trump did a thing four years ago. A thing? He did a thing four years ago? Yeah, he did a thing. He crossed the Rubicon. That's the thing that Trump did a thing four years ago, a thing. He did a thing four years ago. Yeah, he did a thing. He crossed the Rubicon. That's the thing that Trump did. He crossed the Rubicon on issue after issue after issue.
Starting point is 02:47:50 And you don't want to talk about it, but you do want to talk about the election, Tim. Over and over again. He says this kind of stuff. And he, so he goes on and, and, um, and, and talks to him about this, uh, about tyranny and about evil. And, you know, I guess Kirk Cameron is going to go on with a guy who says he's not a Christian. He says that as part of this thing. He's like, look, I'm not a Christian, but, you know.
Starting point is 02:48:15 So how about that thing four years ago? Does that qualify as tyranny? Well, yes, it does. Crediting a 2023 speech by entrepreneur Patrick bet. David for his comments, pool summarize. David's speech is essentially saying Christians in this country are good people who keep saying, okay,
Starting point is 02:48:31 to these people being tolerant, allowing them to live the way they want to live. But what happens is they push more into the institutions and they introduce dangerous, bad ideas and they start targeting kids. And now we're where we are today. Okay, well,
Starting point is 02:48:44 let's turn that around and take a self-examination um you know good people who say okay to trump when he does this stuff and then we push it into the institutions we push it into the rnc and other things like that and we adopt his thuggish, vindictive attitude. I'm not going to take this guy out unless he bows the knee to me. I don't care what he does. I don't care what Lindsey Graham stands for. Yeah, I'm putting myself out there. I'm going to shut down all the wars.
Starting point is 02:49:16 Well, Lindsey Graham doesn't support that. Oh, but Lindsey kisses my ring. And any other parts of his anatomy he can get to. Cameron responded by saying, well, turn the other cheek and love your neighbor. We're never intended to allow for the tolerance of evil. I see so many who are just tolerating evil. And that's not loving your neighbor. See, that's why this whole thing was so perverted. When Yale and Robert Jeffries and Curtis Chang and Al Mohler and all these different people, Franklin Graham,
Starting point is 02:49:45 just love your neighbor, get the vaccine. It's like, no. First of all, that's tyranny. And I'm not going to support that. Loving my neighbor is opposing tyranny. Loving my neighbor is warning them that this is poison. I knew it was poison. There's no way that you can remain silent.
Starting point is 02:50:05 That's not an option for people. At the end of the day, the two great commandments of Christianity are to love God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength. And the second is like it, to love your neighbor as yourself. So you're not going to warn them about this thing? This thing that Trump did? Trump did a thing? Poole said, I'm not a Christian. I believe in God. I grew up Catholic. I don't really follow any organized religion, but I love the history of this country. Well, let me just say this.
Starting point is 02:50:39 You want the gift without the God then, don't you? The liberty that we have in this country was a gift from god the founders acknowledge that so why don't you go back and take a look at the giver and not just crave the gift liberty is a blessing it's not something that we can gain for ourselves and if we reject god you know there's not any neutral area there. You're always either operating under blessing or curse as a nation. And there's not any
Starting point is 02:51:13 middle point there. You don't get an orange Caesar out of all of this stuff. Poole said, like Blackstone's ratio, the morality of America's founders was rooted in christian teachings well uh that was uh something that was there but um it provided a moral foundation but um it was the vast majority i i go back and I look at the American Revolution, it's like, how
Starting point is 02:51:45 do we get such good leaders? Well, it's a blessing from God. The leaders that we have, the leaders that we have to choose from in these elections, quite frankly, go down the ballot and ask yourself, if we are not cursed, the choice between Biden and Trump and Nikki Haley and Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell, is this country not under a curse or what? But, you know, just be careful of these Christian nationalists who are not Christ followers. Because that's taking the name of Christ in vain. Right? That's not a label that you just get to attach to yourself there. Christ in vain. Right. Um, that's,
Starting point is 02:52:25 uh, not a label that you just get to attach to yourself there. Uh, let me, um, uh, respond to some of these. Oh,
Starting point is 02:52:32 thank you very much. Amos pool. That is, that's very, very generous. I appreciate that. Um, and a guard gold Smith.
Starting point is 02:52:39 Thank you. Guard. You don't need to do that. Uh, guard is helps this program in so many different ways by being a guest host frequently. Um, so it's happy Monday. Fantastic. See the matching contributions.
Starting point is 02:52:50 This contribution is not brought to you by Pfizer. That's right. Hey, by the way, though, something that is brought to you by guard Goldsmith, which I highly recommend a subscribe to his sub stack. And he puts out a Sunday wrap up that is really entertaining and insightful. And he finds interesting stuff. I go through dozens of, uh,
Starting point is 02:53:12 websites. All this kind of guards still find some stuff that I haven't seen. And, uh, so I would highly recommend you sign up for his sub stack and get that Sunday newsletter. That's a great piece of work that he does there. Um, atomic dog dog thank you very much
Starting point is 02:53:27 he said the you have to thank david all these open ai systems that people interest with is not to teach people about ai it is to teach ai about you that's right that's why i refuse to use it call me crazy but yeah well you talk scraping. I mean, that's the whole point. Do you think it's not scraping? You think it's not watching you when you're interacting with it? That's the whole point. You know, NVIDIA had, what was it, like 250 million or something, quarter, some fantastic amount. And it's pumped up the whole stock market.
Starting point is 02:54:13 Uh, and they have these, um, the whole, the whole purpose of the AI and, uh, having these fast processors from Nvidia so that they can scrape all of the internet, big data they talk about, right? They've got to have access to all it. So you don't think that they're taking a look at the person who's using it? Absolutely are. Rumble. Way cool, Snoopy. Thank you very much.
Starting point is 02:54:30 He said, thank you for your generous match, Junk Silver. Yes, thank you very much, Junk Silver. I really do appreciate it. Again, he's agreed to match the tips today up to 500. And Wayne Wonder, thank you very much as well. Well, before we run out of time here, I thought this was a very interesting and really a sad comment on our times. Young men are more likely than women
Starting point is 02:54:54 to say that they want to be parents someday. Isn't that amazing? How this is the power of media, the power of media and the press and education to completely eradicate the urge to be a parent for women, for women of all things. And I don't know. Uh, uh, you know, I know a lot of, uh, uh, several guys that, uh, inner circle of, uh, my sons who are trying to find wives. They can't find wives. They're joking about it. Where have all the wives gone?
Starting point is 02:55:34 You know, right out of Tolkien. Uh, I guess, you know, maybe if Taylor Swift gets married, uh, maybe the 30 something women will want to get married. Uh, maybe if she has kids, maybe we will have a baby boom, but they are so infatuated. I, again, I don't understand it and I don't want to focus on Taylor Swift, but I just looking at the demographics, her fans are all like 30 something women. There was even an article headline. Again, I don't, you know, but I still see the article headlines. I don't want to focus on this Taylor Swift thing,
Starting point is 02:56:07 but you can't escape the headlines. And so she does this concert in Australia and she's got a female fan who is going to delay her needed, much needed. It's like a kidney operation or something like that, but she's going to delay that so she can go to the Taylor Swift thing and risk dying so she can go see Taylor Swift. So maybe if Taylor Swift will get married or maybe if she'll have children, maybe we'll have a baby boom. Who knows? Among young adults without children, men are more likely than women to say they want to be parents someday.
Starting point is 02:56:40 This is truly the power of media and education to mold and to shape children. This is one of the reasons why people always say the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. Well, it's a government hand that is rocking the cradle. Because women have gone into the workforce, turned their kids over to daycare, which is run by these same people with these same values. The study released on February the 15th finds that over half, 57%, of young men without children say they want children one day, while young women without kids, only 45% of them say the same thing. So 45% of women, 57% of men who were childless want to have kids someday the results are based on a survey of over 1495 us adults nearly 7 and 10 and there were 18 to 34 nearly 70 percent of them uh who have never tied the knot say they would like
Starting point is 02:57:40 to marry in the future almost a quarter of them say they're not sure eight percent say they would like to marry in the future. Almost a quarter of them say they're not sure. 8% say they don't want to get married. Additionally, nearly half of young adults in that age group who've never had children say they would like to be parents at some point in their life. 51%. 30% are unsure. 18% never want to have kids. These are the people bought into the depopulation,
Starting point is 02:58:00 climate change agenda. Similarly, a majority of young adults who don't have kids 67 say they don't feel much or any pressure from their parents to do so um about one in five say they feel some pressure to have kids 14 say they feel a great deal of pressure or amount of pressure well i guess i need to step it up travis uh to quote my cousin Vinny, my biological clock is ticking here. Yours is too. All of us have a biological clock that's ticking. But on the other spectrum of this, coming from the expose news in the UK, and this is not a Christian site, so we've got to start treating ourselves and our children as wonderful creations of God.
Starting point is 02:58:47 What they put in was an article from a guy named Mike Donio. He said, why did Christian churches allow this? Why did they follow the party line during COVID? And again, I remember it was between the lockdown of March 15th, and it was still a couple weeks away. We'd had a couple weeks to flatten the curve nonsense. I remember talking to John Rappaport, and he said, the way we shut this whole thing down is pastors have to lead. They have to open up the churches by Easter.
Starting point is 02:59:15 Well, they didn't. They didn't. Months and months and months went by. And so he says, we observed not only the shutdown of most of society, perhaps most strikingly was what happened with our churches. I talked to Chris Hughes, his book Scattering the Sheep. And when you have Donald Trump out there saying nobody's going to lay a hand, nobody's going to touch the cross, he was the one who was leading this. The fear campaigns.
Starting point is 02:59:48 We were told it was too dangerous to gather together and to worship God. Imagine that. The God who tells us we have nothing to fear. These so-called church leaders and political leaders folded like a cheap suit to stand close by their political leaders.
Starting point is 03:00:03 Not only that, but the leaders of these churches told us that Jesus would have taken the vaccine, so you should as well. Nativity scenes are being sold with masked up Holy Family. And he says, you know, when you look at the 23rd Psalm that everybody knows, even though I walk through the darkest valley, no, it's the valley of the shadow of death
Starting point is 03:00:22 is the translation that I know. That was the valley of the shadow of death. And he says, you know, when we go back and we look at what happened in church history, thousands of years of church history, it was a singular characteristic of Christians that they didn't fear death, that they helped those who were dying, who were sick without any regard, because they knew what waited them. Thank you for listening. The David Knight Show is a critical thinking super spreader.
