Critics warn it frontloads benefits and delays cuts, triggering a fiscal cliff by 2028. Despite MAGA promises, the bill includes talk of amnesty and centralizes more power in federal hands. 01:18:29 – 01:21:28Military Budget Passes $1 Trillion MarkThe bill allocates $150 billion in extra military funding, bringing the 2026 military budget to over $1 trillion. Funding priorities include a proposed “Golden Dome” defense system and additional missile stockpiles, sparking concern over boondoggles and unnecessary militarism. 01:29:29 – 01:43:58Inalienable Rights, Tyranny, and the Spirit of 1776A commentary explores the erosion of civil liberties under expanding executive power, comparing modern policies to British tyranny before the American Revolution.

Paired with FOIA documents, it exposes widespread media manipulation during the COVID response involving Hollywood, sports leagues, and influencers. 02:17:07 – 02:18:59UK Immigration Criticized as Criminal Crisis by DesignBritish media reports that migrants arriving by boat are far more likely to be imprisoned than UK citizens.

Commentary alleges racial hiring bias, credential fraud from foreign diploma mills, and intentional destruction of U.S. tech standards. 03:45:10 – 03:46:51Mexico City Protests American Digital NomadsLocals rally against rising rents and gentrification caused by U.S. digital nomads. The irony is highlighted—Mexicans protest foreign impact while Americans are shamed for raising similar concerns at home. 03:50:31 – 03:52:28Spain Criminalizes Parental Resistance to Gender TransitionNew Spanish law threatens jail time for parents or doctors who oppose a child’s gender transition.

That's H-O-R-A-S dot com forward slash Ireland. In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. It's the David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it is Monday, the 7th of July, the year of Our Lord 2025. Donald Trump isn't content to just bankrupt casinos, he's now gambling with the future
Starting point is 00:01:20 of the United States. The government says the economy is doing fine, but nearly 50% of the jobs that have been quote-unquote created are government jobs. And now Donald Trump is working on amnesty for millions of illegals. Sorry MAGA, no refunds. Stay with us. The The Welcome back. Good morning. I hope you all had a wonderful Independence Day weekend despite the fact that America is not so independent anymore. I know that Angry tiger deals with fireworks and sells a lot of them And I hope that he was able to provide a lot of people some entertainment this weekend. Hope he had a good weekend
Starting point is 00:03:03 Hope you all did as well as I said it was fun for us We had a good time Let's get right into the one big beautiful bill because that's the main topic of discussion here But first actually I see we've got a comment from atomic dog will today be David's triumphant comeback. We will know soon enough I'm sorry to say that it is not today, but it will be soon. Right before the show we talked about it. Said he's not going to wait for his voice to fully recover, but the main thing is that he's just so tired all the time from the medication he's on.
Starting point is 00:03:36 But he will be coming back soon. So you can have that to look forward to. And I have that to look forward to. I know we're all so excited to have him back. As I said we're gonna start with the one big beautiful bill and as I said he's not content to just bankrupt casinos. He's now gambling with all our futures. Thursday Congress passed the one big beautiful bill and this is from zero hedge one big beautiful budget deficit. That's right.
Starting point is 00:04:03 It's definitely big. I wouldn't call it beautiful. Congress passed hedge one big beautiful budget deficit. That's right. It's definitely big. I wouldn't call it beautiful. Congress passed the one big beautiful bill that is supposed to include all Trump's promises on fiscal policy in a second term. The bill includes tax cuts and additional spending on Republican priorities. The bill will extend the income tax provisions in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which was set to expire by the end of the year, would have caused a fiscal cliff. I think we're still moving towards that fiscal cliff. They've just pushed it back a little bit. There will be tax deductions for taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security.
Starting point is 00:04:38 The bill includes additional spending on defense and immigration enforcement. Immigration enforcement. To finance the tax cuts and additional spending, or at least some of it, there are tax increases for spending cuts and democratic priorities. The tax credits for purchasing electric vehicles from Biden's Inflation Reduction Act will be terminated. What's more, new taxes on wind and solar energy projects will be imposed if they use too much foreign content. Federal spending on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, SNAP, will be imposed if they use too much foreign content.
Starting point is 00:05:05 Federal spending on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, SNAP, will be reduced and the slack should be picked up by the states. There will also be cuts in spending on Medicaid, the health care program for low income people. Finally, at the crest of Trump, and much to the dismay of fiscal hawks, the debt limit will be raised by $5 trillion. And of course, as we've said on the show, if that's what they're raising the debt limit will be raised by $5 trillion. And of course, as we've said on the show, if that's what they're raising the debt limit to, that's the debt limit they will hit.
Starting point is 00:05:30 They're not going to sit back and hold back on spending. They will hit whatever the upper limit is. That's how they always operate. They always do that. That's the bottom line. And they will always hit the bottom line. However, the bill front loads tax cuts and delays spending cuts,
Starting point is 00:05:48 causing a fiscal cliff at the end of 2028. Well, we've pushed it back a little bit. Isn't that wonderful? I'm sure it won't only get worse as time goes on. Therefore, the upward impact on the budget deficit in the next 10 years could be even larger. And of course, this isn't could, it's a certainty. It's always how they operate. This is the modus operandi of the federal government. It is only ever about increasing the deficit. A large part of what the Republicans and their proxies are trying to sell as tax cuts
Starting point is 00:06:23 are actually extensions of the TCJA, which have been widely anticipated. Meanwhile, the increase in defense spending is relatively modest and keeps it below what other NATO members have pledged as percentage of GDP. Well, that's right. We're spending just a modest amount on the military industrial complex. We already spend more than anyone anyway. It's just that it's not as much of a percentage of the GDP. The one big beautiful budget act of 2025 underlines that two traditional wings of the Republican
Starting point is 00:06:56 Party, the fiscal hawks, the foreign policy hawks, have been pushed aside by the MAGA movement. Have they? Have they really taken over? Or is it business as usual? Because I don't see much of what the MAGA movement wanted being represented in government at all. In fact, as I said, Trump is completely turning his back on one of his main policies that got him elected. He's
Starting point is 00:07:23 contemplating amnesty. Isn't that wonderful? The US Congress has passed the one big beautiful bill that is supposed to include all Trump's promises on fiscal policy in a second term. The self-imposed deadline was for the Senate and the House of Representatives to get a uniform bill to President Trump's desk by July 4th. Rand Paul voted nay because of the rise in the debt limit, in contrast Susan Collins and Tom Tillis found the
Starting point is 00:07:49 Medicaid cuts too deep to support the bill. Today in the final vote of the House of Representatives there were 218 votes in favor of the bill, 218 Republicans 214 against, all 212 Democrats and two Republicans. Thomas Massey voted against the bill because he wanted more spending cuts, calling the bill a debt bomb. And he's right, it is a debt bomb. It is going to explode, and it is going to be the American people that pay the price for it.
Starting point is 00:08:18 Now what is in the bill? I'm sure we don't know all of it yet. I'm sure there's stuff buried in there that no one has fully explored. One big beautiful budget act, the OBBBA of 2025 includes tax cuts. Fancy winning a trip to Easter Island in Chile? With Santa Rita 120 Wine, you and a friend could be flying to Chile to visit Easter Island for 120 hours and staying in glorious accommodation. With time to experience our vineyards, take a tour of the island and relax on the beautiful
Starting point is 00:08:50 beaches. 120 hours on Easter Island with Santa Rita 120 Wine. To enter visit 120orass.com. That's H-O-R-A-S dot com forward slash Ireland. An additional spending on Republican priorities. The bill will extend the income tax provisions in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, TCJA of course, of 2017, the main fiscal policy package of Trump's first term. These tax cuts were set to expire by the end of the year, but have caused a fiscal cliff. There will be tax deductions for taxes on tips, overtime and social security. And of course course the income
Starting point is 00:09:25 tax and the IRS remain, they're still here, isn't that wonderful? There will also be a rise in child tax credits, the deduction cap on state and local taxes, SALT will also be raised. The bill includes additional spending on defense and immigration enforcement. The latter will be improved by extending the border wall. Well, isn't that wonderful? They're gonna extend the border wall. They keep talking about that. They bring up the border wall whenever they want to. Seemed like they're really doing something. Of course, no impact to all of the benefits offered to illegals once they get here. If you climb over that border wall,
Starting point is 00:10:03 then you get all the free stuff. Just Just you gotta get around the border wall first. If you manage to find a ladder and sneak your way in, don't worry you still get the welfare. The largest items in defense spending are shipbuilding, the Golden Dome defense system against foreign missiles and replenishing the stock of ammunition. That's right, we're gonna waste a ton of money on the Golden Dome defense system. He went to Israel and thought, wow they've got a iron dome. What if we had a golden dome? And of course their iron dome is working now so well for them. Uh-huh. It's fighting the war of previous years. It's not about missiles anymore, it's about drones. Drones that can very easily take out targets such as power stations and transformers. But even their
Starting point is 00:10:53 missiles are getting through their Iron Dome. The Iranian missiles are getting through. Of course we covered that article where Russia was working on a missile that may have already outmoded things like the Iron Dome and the Golden Dome. The technology is advancing. Still leave defense spending at about 2.7% of GDP by 2034, which is well below the target that other NATO members have pledged at the recent summit in The Hague. When the US tried to outrun the Soviet Union during the Reagan years, the US spent more than 6% of GDP.
Starting point is 00:11:29 Was that even a good thing? Was that necessary? I'm of course not old enough to really know about those things. I can only read about them from the past. But it seems like it might have been a waste of time and money on our part. Seems like it might not have been necessary or worthwhile. Tax credits for purchasing electric
Starting point is 00:11:52 vehicles from Biden's Inflation Reduction Act will be terminated. This was one of Trump's campaign pledges. Of course the debt limit will be raised. My dad said we should call him Deficit Don, because that's what he is. He's raising the deficit by a gigantic amount. It is going to be ridiculous. The Republicans have always pushed themselves as the fiscal hawks. We're going to balance the budget.
Starting point is 00:12:23 We're going to get it right. I'm going to make sure the government runs smoothly and efficiently, and not run into a massive amount of debt. But they've thrown that out the window. They don't even try to pretend anymore. They don't care. They've given up on that. They don't have to pretend. It's reached a point where most people, I think, have the feeling that it doesn't matter. We're so far deep in debt, there's nothing we can do to get out of it. So what's the point? On July 1st, the Congressional Budget Office estimated that the bill, as passed by the
Starting point is 00:12:55 Senate, would decrease budget deficits by 0.4 trillion relative to the budget enforcement baseline. But that doesn't make any sense. We know that isn't true because they raised the debt ceiling. If you know that you're going to cut the deficit and you're going to cut down on spending by 0.4 trillion, you don't raise the debt ceiling to 5 trillion. They assumed that with these tax provisions would expire in line with then current law, and with the common practice of budget scoring by the CBO, so taking together the budget
Starting point is 00:13:31 impact of these tax extensions has been deleted. It is truly one big beautiful magic act. As Lindsey Graham put it last week, I'm the king of numbers. I'm Zeus. I'm the budget king. With a simple shift in accounting, TRIC 1, 3.8 trillion has disappeared into a black hole in time inconsistency. The same letter on July 1st, the nonpartisan CBO stated that compared with their January 2025 baseline budget projections, it would increase deficits over the 2025-2034 period
Starting point is 00:14:04 by 3.4 trillion. So in reality the OBBA has a significant upward impact on the budget deficit. What's more the bill front loads tax cuts in the next few years and delays spending cuts. We don't like cutting down on our spending here in the United States. We love our spending. We love our spending, don't we folks? And of course this is your daily reminder that taxes have gone up in total with the tariffs that have not been replacing the income tax as people were hoping they would. That's right. Well, we'll put on the tariffs, but we'll get rid of the income tax and that'll actually be a benefit to us. But no, we're going to put on the tariffs, we're going to keep the income tax, and we're going to grow the IRS.
Starting point is 00:14:49 Despite the large rise in the budget deficit, the upward impact on the growth trajectory of the U.S. economy is likely to be limited. A large part of what the Republicans and their proxies are trying to sell as tax cuts are actually extensions of the income tax provisions in the TCJA. In fact, the one big beautiful bill is removing the fiscal cliff that loomed at the end of the income tax provisions in the TCJA. In fact, the one big beautiful bill is removing the fiscal cliff that loomed at the end of the year. What's more, the extension has been widely anticipated because the Republicans could not afford the fiscal cliff from an electoral perspective. So this should not change the growth projections of the U.S. economy. That's
Starting point is 00:15:21 right, these have all been kind of expected. People have known this was coming. This isn't something that is going to have a major impact that wasn't accounted for already. People knew that the Republicans could not afford this. They couldn't afford to have everything hit under their leadership. Now we're gonna push it out to 2028. Well, they're gonna try anyway. We'll see if it succeeds. This is still a house of cards. No serious attempt has been made to improve the U.S. public debt trajectory. Fiscal discipline has gone out the window. On Capitol Hill, and the few remaining fiscal hawks are at best slowing down the upward trajectory of the debt. This leaves the enforcement of US fiscal discipline to the bond vigilantes.
Starting point is 00:16:10 However, they are faced with limited alternatives to US Treasuries. Nevertheless, as far as they are able and willing to diversify away from US Treasuries, they could demand higher yields. In the long run, this is increasingly likely. In the long run, this is increasingly likely. In conclusion here, this article from Zero Hedge. In the end, this bill is essentially about extending the Trump tax cuts of 2017, and adding some new tax cuts promised during the presidential campaign of 2024. Despite spending cuts on clean energy programs and health care for low-income Americans, fiscal hawks saw their wings clipped again and the US public debt continues to rise.
Starting point is 00:16:54 Deficit Don. The corruption always wins in DC. Fancy winning a trip to Easter Island in Chile? With Santa Rita 120 Wine, you and a friend could be flying to Chile to visit Easter Island for 120 hours and staying in glorious accommodation.

Starting point is 00:17:47 Let's send them some more money. Satan Yahoo is going to come tell us about their hostages this week. That's right. Gotta fund this insanity in the Middle East. We have to fund a genocide. They're our greatest ally. KWD 68. Not a single agency will close. The debt will increase bigly and there will be
Starting point is 00:18:07 wars. The best wars. That's right. Only big beautiful wars for our Donnie boy. Not any of these small pathetic ugly wars. We're going to have big beautiful wars. Nights of the storm. Good to see you Jason. I hope you're doing well. Talking about seeing what's in the bill. Shouldn't your tax bill be itemized? I would like an itemized list of what they spend my money on. I think that should be required. Well, I'm with you there, but I'm sure they would not wanna give you that.
Starting point is 00:18:33 I feel that might reveal some things that they wouldn't be too happy with. Gard Goldsmith in the ice push is going to bring in an e-verify tracking system. They're going to track and trace everyone. They're going to say, well, it's for illegal immigrants, as Donald Trump is working towards amnesty for certain groups of illegals. That's right, no refunds, MAGA.
Starting point is 00:18:56 No refunds at all. KWD-68. Keep in mind that the debt increase increases at least $3.5 trillion in the next 10 years. The current interest is another $1 trillion. Then there's the additional spending. The interest alone is an absurd amount. An unfathomable amount. It's not really an amount we can get out of. There's not really a way to fix this, I don't believe. Nights of the Storm, we can roll over the national debt to the new CBDC credit card for lower interest rates for 24 months.
Starting point is 00:19:29 That's right, 24 months, no interest. Just give all your freedoms. Give all your privacy. Isn't that wonderful? KWD 68, third party will save us. Baphomet suit muster the rescue, third party. Normal isn't returning people. Jesus is. That's right. Normal isn't returning people, Jesus is.
Starting point is 00:19:45 That's right, normal isn't coming back. This is, well we're, this is the new normal. Isn't it wonderful? But yes, Jesus is coming back. We don't know the hour or the day, but he is coming. And that, that is a hopeful thought. This is from antiwar.com. House passes Trump's big, beautiful bill. That bill will bring the 2026 military budget over $1 trillion. That's right, we finally
Starting point is 00:20:17 cracked a trillion dollars on the military budget. The bill includes $150 billion in additional military spending. $113 billion of it will be used to supplement the 2026 military budget The House on Thursday passed a massive piece of legislation dubbed the big beautiful bill by President Trump that includes an extra military spending to bring the 2026 military budget over 1 trillion The legislation includes 150 billion additional military spending and the White House plans to use 113 billion of it to supplement the 2026 military budget, bringing it to approximately $1.006 trillion. Isn't that wonderful? We should all get out the sparklers and clap.
Starting point is 00:20:56 We finally cracked the trillion for military spending. Just in time for the Fourth of July. Exactly. Woo! Can't get enough of that military budget. We do such wonderful things with it. 150 billion will go towards several military priorities of the Trump administration, including the so-called Golden Dome. Plan for a sprawling missile defense system in the United States
Starting point is 00:21:19 that's sure to kick off a new arms race will be a boondoggle. Uh, I'm sure that'll be, as I said, a boondoggle. And I also wonder where it's going to go. Are they going to have to use eminent domain to seize people's property to put in some of these installations? I wouldn't be surprised. Donald Trump loves his eminent domain. He always has, long before he got into politics, he was willing to use eminent domain. Electric vehicle tax breaks will expire on September 30th as the big beautiful bill passes. Suiting tax and budget legislation approved by Congress on Thursday means the $7,500 tax credits for buying or leasing new electric vehicles will end at September 30th as well as a four thousand used EV credit that have helped juice green vehicle sales in recent years. That's right.
Starting point is 00:22:16 The taxpayers have been funding the purchase of these vehicles. You have been getting scammed on the deal. By help juice they mean actually creating the entire industry because according to all these manufacturers they can't sustain themselves without that money. No no if you get rid of our supplemental our supplementation we're just going to wither and die. When you think about it the EV tax was always a tax on The poor for the wealthy. It's the people that can afford new nice cars Getting a advantage from everyone else who can't yes Or those that are too smart to get suckered in by one of these things
Starting point is 00:22:59 True I say new but I mean expensive. Yes Congress first approved a $7,500 EV tax credit in 2018 that it phased out after manufacturers hit 200,000 vehicles. Credit was expanded in 2022 to cover leased vehicles, and the per-manufacturer cap was lifted. Separately, U.S. automakers stand to receive significant benefits from the final bill that eliminates penalties for failing to meet corporate average fuel economy shortfalls. The measure makes it easier for automakers to build gas-powered vehicles." Well that's good. That is good. I would love to see some more gas-powered vehicles that actually are worth buying.
Starting point is 00:23:40 Yes, last year Chrysler parents Stellantis paid $190.7 million in civil penalties. The final bill, Congress dropped a planned $250 annual fee for EVs to pay for road repairs, as well as a requirement that the US Postal Service sell off its EV delivery vehicles. So they're really just getting rid of the tax credits. They're not going to penalize people for buying these things. I'm also curious what the wear and tear on the roads are by electric vehicles, since they're so gosh darn heavy comparatively to your standard car. I'm curious if they have contributed to road deterioration.
Starting point is 00:24:31 Faster than normal. KWD 68. The fix to national debt is an economic collapse that Trump has worked hard for. One World CBDC. Reset. If you have bonds, trade them for gold. KWD has been on fire today. Lots of great points. And of course, if you would like to buy gold, you can go to davidknight.gold. Tony Arburn has set that up. I, again, I don't make any economic predictions. I don't give
Starting point is 00:25:00 financial advice. But if you would like to buy gold or silver, that's where you can do it Tesla delivers its 200,000 car. This is an article from 2018 and of course as the previous article pointed out The tax credits were phased out once you hit 200,000 cars and Tesla hit that in 2018 hit 200,000 cars and Tesla hit that in 2018. This article describes Tesla delivering its 200,000th vehicle triggering the phase out period for the $7,500 federal tax credit for electric vehicles. Fancy winning a trip to Easter Island in Chile? With Santa Rita 120 Wine, you and a friend could be flying to Chile to visit Easter Island for 120 hours and staying in glorious accommodation. With time to experience our vineyards, take a tour of the island and relax on the beautiful beaches.
Starting point is 00:25:55 120 hours on Easter Island with Santa Rita 120 Wine. To enter, visit 120oras.com. That's H-O-R-A-S.com forward slash Ireland. The phase out period will reduce the credit amount for buyers, with the credit being completely phased out for vehicles delivered after December 31, 2019. This article is from July 13th, 2018. Tesla has delivered its 200,000th vehicle this month, July 2018, triggering the phase-out period of the $7,500 federal tax credit. Elon Musk had known about the push to get rid of the tax credits.
Starting point is 00:26:43 Donald Trump had talked about it before. It already happened once before they extended it again. This is not what is causing him to freak out about the big beautiful bill, or at least not the main point, I don't think. I think this is just a blow to his ego when it comes to doge. You mean I went in and did those cuts. I tried to make myself look good by doing it and you're going to ignore all that. I think it is simply an obfuscation on Trump's part to say he's just mad about the removal of the tax cut, the tax credit. Seen on Tesla's official electric vehicle incentives page, the phase out period for the $7,500 federal tax credit is in effect
Starting point is 00:27:21 for all Model S, Model X, and Model 3 vehicles delivered on or before December 31, 2018. All buyers taking delivery in 2019 will only be eligible for a subset of that original $7,500 credit. Customers taking delivery between January 1 to June 30, 2019 will be eligible for a $3,700 federal tax credit, or half of the full amount before phase out. Those taking delivery in the second half of 2019 between July 1 and December 31, 2019 will be eligible for an $1,875 federal tax credit. That's right, they slowly stair stepped it down. Yes, Tesla has exceeded the $200,000 vehicle cap for federal EV tax credits in the United
Starting point is 00:28:04 States as outlined in earlier tax credit programs, the federal EV tax credit program under the Internal Revenue Service. Over the Inflation Reduction Act, IRA of 2022 modified the EV tax credit system, removing the 200,000 vehicle cap for manufacturers starting in 2023, but it introduced new eligibility requirements such as battery components, sourcing, and income limit for buyers. That's right. This is a this is a chat from Grok that is discussing what happened with it. Of course, Trump campaigned on stopping it, as I said. Elon Musk knew this wasn't a blindside.
Starting point is 00:28:48 This wasn't something that caught him by surprise. We're going to take a quick break. When we get back, we're going to take a look at this article from the Free Thought Project. Inalienable Rights in an age of tyranny. What does independence really mean this Fourth of July? Well, we'll find out folks. Tunnel Lord 1337. Also I want to see diesel cars again. Those things were awesome with their gas mileage. Yes, diesel has been demonized and penalized for years now. I remember before Hurricane Katrina, diesel was substantially cheaper than gasoline was.
Starting point is 00:29:32 Then afterwards it jumped up and has never come back down. I remember they were talking about how Hurricane Katrina was going to take out all the refineries and was going to destroy the diesel pipeline. It was going to make it impossible to get diesel, so the prices immediately went through the roof before anything happened. And then none of that came to pass, but the diesel prices never came back down because why would they? They were making so much money. We'll be right back, folks. Stay with us. Unlike most revolutions where the people rise against the real economic oppression in our case here in boston we are fighting for purely an abstract principle
Starting point is 00:30:11 it is however not nearly so abstract as the young gentleman supposes the issue involved here is one of monopoly today the british government will monopolize the sale of tea in our country. Tomorrow it will be something else. The liberty. It's your move. You're listening to the David Knight show. Welcome back. And of course, I'm not David Knight. I am your host for today, Travis Knight. As I said, we're going to look at inalienable rights in an age of tyranny. What does independence

The US cannot be the world's bully indefinitely. There always comes a bigger and badder bully. Otherwise we go the way of the Roman Empire. Expiration via implosion. We do have some barbarians at the gates, don't we? KWD 68 Audi still sells a diesel a5 in Europe. I'd love to see the diesel Jetta back Yeah, they've gotten rid of most diesels here in the United States It is of course that was a deliberate thing with their extreme reaction to VW having a slightly different

My buddy had a little VW diesel that thing went forever on a tank. Yes, diesel gets great gas mileage and as a general rule the engines tend to be very reliable as well. There's many reasons to want diesel to come back. When the government, whether president, Congress Court, or local bureaucrat claims the right to determine who does and doesn't deserve rights, then no one is safe. Individuals become faceless numbers. Human beings become statistics. Lives become expendable. Dignity becomes disposable.
Starting point is 00:33:08 This is from the Rutherford Institute, and you can find it on the Free Thought Project. When a long train of abuses and usurpations evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty to throw off such a government. And that of course is from the Declaration of Independence. And it sounds very much like what is going on today. We are now struggling to emerge from the wreckage of a constitutional republic transformed into a kleptocracy, which of course is governed by thieves collapsing into cacostocracy, government by the worst and enforced by police state algochracy, rule by algorithm. This week alone the Trump administration is reportedly erecting protest barricades around the White House.

Starting point is 00:34:50 what to the average American is freedom in an age where the government plays God? Determining who is worthy of rights, who qualifies as a citizen, and who can be discarded without consequence. This is why we were so set on making sure that even when you're throwing someone out of the country they deserve due process. Because if you remove rights for one person it gives the government free reign to do it for everyone. What are inalienable rights worth if they can be redefined, delayed, or revoked by executive order? Frederick Douglass posed a similar challenge more than 170 years ago when he
Starting point is 00:35:30 asked, What to the American slave is your Fourth of July? His question was a searing indictment not just of slavery, but of a government that proclaimed liberty while denying it to millions, a hypocrisy that persists in a system still governed by institutions more committed to power than principle. Every branch of government, executive, legislative, judicial, has in one way or another abandoned its duty to uphold the Constitution. Both parties have prioritized profit, political theater over justice and the rights of the governed. The founders of this nation believed our rights come from God. Of course we see the modern government, the modern people who are in charge of everything,
Starting point is 00:36:17 seem to ascribe more to B.F. Skinner's ideology. They want to go beyond freedom and dignity. As in, those are archaic principles we no longer need to care about. We need to break people of them. They don't deserve it. They don't need it. What they need is to be brought into line, to be controlled. That's what B.F. Skinner was talking about. That we are born free, not made free, by bureaucrats or judges, that among these rights, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, none can be taken away without destroying the very
Starting point is 00:36:51 idea of government by consent. When the presidents rule by fiat, when agencies strip citizens of natural citizenship from naturalized Americans, when police act as both enforcers and executioners, and when courts rubber-stamp the erosion of basic protections, the distinction between a citizen and a subject begins to collapse. That's right. Do you feel more like a citizen or a subject? What do inalienable rights mean in a country where your citizenship can be revoked based
Starting point is 00:37:26 solely on government's say so? Your freedom can be extinguished by surveillance, asset seizure, or indefinite detention. Your property can be taken, your speech censored, and your life extinguished without due process. Your life can be ended without a trial, a warning, or a second thought because the government views you as expendable. That's right, if you show up on their list of people they need to do a no-knock raid on, there's no guarantee you're making that out of it. The government sees you as expendable and non-essential, as Trump has made clear in his first term.
Starting point is 00:38:02 And not just that, but they may view you as a threat if you actually care about these things. If you stand up for liberty, they may view you as someone that needs to be dealt with. When the government, whether president, Congress, court, or local bureaucrat, claims to determine who does and doesn't deserve rights, then no one is safe. Individuals become faceless numbers. Human beings become statistics. Lives become expendable. Dignity becomes disposable. It is a slippery slope justified in the name of national security, public safety, and so called greater good. And of course we saw that in spades. We saw that taken to the extreme with COVID-19. It's for the greater good. It's for the public health. So you have to be locked down. Your business must be destroyed. Grandma has to die alone in the hospital because it's for the greater
Starting point is 00:38:56 good. Don't you know the government loves you and cares about you and wants what's best for you? You just have to accept that they're going to put their boot on your throat. Imagine living in a country where government agents crash through doors to arrest citizens merely for criticizing government officials. Or police stop and search you on a whim where carrying anything that resembles a firearm might get you arrested or killed. Where surveillance is constant, dissent is criminalized, and loyalty is enforced through fear. If you're thinking, this sounds like America today, you wouldn't be far wrong.
Starting point is 00:39:30 But this scenario isn't new. It's the same kind of tyranny that drove American colonists to sever ties with Great Britain nearly 250 years ago. Back then American colonists lived under the shadow of an imperial power, an early police state that censored their speech, surveilled their movements, taxed their livelihoods, searched their homes without cause, quartered troops in their towns, and punished them for daring to demand liberty. In fact, it was probably a lighter yoke under Great Britain at that time.
Starting point is 00:39:59 It was probably not as bad as it is today. It was only when colonists finally got fed up with being silenced, censored, searched, frisked, threatened, and arrested, that they finally revolted against the tyrant's fetters. A declaration of independence drafted by Thomas Jefferson and signed on July 4, 1776 by 56 men who risked everything was their response. It was more than a list of grievances. It was a document seething with outrage over a government which had betrayed its citizens. A call to arms against a system that had ceased to represent the people and instead sought
Starting point is 00:40:33 to dominate them. Labeled traitors, these men were charged with treason, a crime punishable by death because they believed in a radical idea. That all people are created to be free. For some, their acts of rebellion would cost them their homes and their fortunes, for others it would be the ultimate price, their lives. Yet even knowing the heavy price they might have to pay, these men dared to speak up. They understood that silence in the face of tyranny is complicity, so they
Starting point is 00:41:00 stood together, pledging our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor to the cause of freedom. Even after they had won their independence from Great Britain, these new Americans worked to ensure that the rights they had risked their lives to secure would remain secure for future generations. The result was our Bill of Rights, the first ten amendments to the Constitution. Imagine the shock and outrage of these fifty-six men would feel were they to discover that almost two hundred fifty years later, government that they had risked their lives to create had been transformed into a militaristic police state in which exercising one's freedoms, at a minimum merely questioning a government agent,
Starting point is 00:41:42 is often viewed as a flagrant act of defiance. We see that over and over again. Merely asking questions of these government agents causes them to spiral, causes them to view you as a threat. In fact, had Jefferson and his compatriots written the Declaration of Independence today, they would most certainly be labeled extremists placed on a government watch list targeted by surveillance and prosecuted as domestic threats. That's right. If you even quote a founding father today without context, you'll get labeled an extremist or a
Starting point is 00:42:19 terrorist. In context, for the most part, a lot of it. Yes. I mean, that if you were to quote it without context, they would most happily do it publicly. If you do it with context, they'll probably do it privately and put you on a list. But with context, you would just say, no, this is a quote from Thomas Jefferson. They'd probably be flying to Chile to visit Easter Island for 120 hours and staying in glorious accommodation.

Starting point is 00:43:12 Oh, isn't that interesting? Well, maybe we've moved past that kind of mentality, but you're definitely going on a list behind the scenes. Had Jefferson written the declaration about the American police state in 2025, might have read like a criminal indictment of the crimes perpetrated by a government that polices by fear and violence. Raiding family homes in the dead of night with SWAT teams that shoot pets and traumatize
Starting point is 00:43:35 children targeting vulnerable individuals, including the disabled, and neurodivergent for arrest under pretext of noncompliance. Killing unarmed citizens for not complying quickly enough. Using roadside cavity searches and rectal probes as tools of humiliation and control.

Collecting DNA from innocent Americans and compiling biometric databases without consent. Tracking drivers with license plate scanners and red light cameras without due process.
Starting point is 00:44:12 Detaining protesters, journalists, and whistleblowers without trial. Offering labeling them as domestic threats. Jailing veterans for criticizing the government. Placing ordinary Americans on watch lists and labeling dissent as terrorism, seizing property through civil asset forfeiture without charges or due process, building secret prisons and detention centers shielded from judicial oversight, stripping citizenship from those it deems disloyal, making constitutional rights conditional, criminalizing homelessness, dissent and disloyalty as pretext for constitutional rights conditional, criminalizing homelessness,
Starting point is 00:44:46 dissent and disloyalty as pretext for exclusion and punishment, criminalizing routine behavior under vague laws that fuel mass incarceration and over-criminalization, concentrates unchecked power in the executive, bypassing Congress with executive orders, sidelining the courts, and ruling by decree. Of course, we have a useless, feckless Congress that is more than happy to abdicate power and let the executive do whatever he wants. Thank you, Mike Johnson. But of course, it's been going on longer than Mike Johnson has been in office. He's just the current face of it. Weaponizing federal agencies to suppress opposition and silence critics. Treating constitutional limits as optional. The presidency as a personal fiefdom. These are not isolated abuses. They are the
Starting point is 00:45:41 logical outcomes of a government that has turned against its people. This week's spectacle, protest barricades, legislation to benefit the rich, and Trump's appearance at Alligator Alcatraz, aka Gator Gitmo, shows how completely we have inverted the spirit of 1776. That a President would celebrate the Fourth of July while inaugurating a modern-day internment camp far from the reach of the courts or the Constitution speaks volumes about the state of our nation, and the extent to which those in power now glorify the very forms of tyranny the Founders once rose up against. This is not law and order.
Starting point is 00:46:26 This is rule by fear and intimidation. Oh, you said something we don't like. We might revoke your citizenship. You might end up in alligator Alcatraz. You might end up in the swamp with the gators, don't you know? This is political theater, carceral cruelty, and authoritarianism in plain sight. It is what happens when a nation that once prided itself on liberty now builds monuments to its own fear and domination. President Trump is now marketing his own line of fragrances,
Starting point is 00:46:56 a exercise so absurd it would be laughable if it weren't a flagrant violation of the Constitution's emoluments clause. Of course, it doesn't pass the sniff test. His investments are booming, and all across administration, top officials are shamelessly using public office to line their pockets, even as they push legislation to strip working-class Americans of the most basic benefits and protections while claiming to be rooting out corruption and inefficiency. This is not governance. This is kleptocracy, and it is happening in plain sight. It has gotten more obvious under Donald Trump. It has gotten more open.
Starting point is 00:47:39 They just do what they want. In previous administration, previous years, they at least had to have some level of plausible deniability. They had to make it look like, oh, how did this happen? This is a mistake. We didn't mean to. Trump is just bold-faced with it. He doesn't care. He doesn't have to. We're being robbed blind by political grifters and corporate profiteers. We are being silenced by bureaucrats and blacklists. We are being watched by data miners and digital spies. We are being caged by militarized enforcers with no regard for the Constitution. We are being ruled by presidents who govern not by law, but by executive decree.
Starting point is 00:48:21 Given the fact that we are a relatively young nation, it hasn't taken very long for an authoritarian regime to creep into power. Unfortunately, the bipartisan coup that laid siege to our nation did not happen overnight. The architecture of oppression, surveillance, militarism, censorship, propaganda was built slowly, brick by brick, law by law, war by war. As I've said, these people think on longer timelines than we do. They're very happy to plan things decades in advance. They're not simply looking at it in months to years, but decades to multiple decades.
Starting point is 00:48:58 They know that if they just wait long enough, if they do it slowly enough, they can get their way. It's snucking under our radar, hiding behind the guise of national security, the war on drugs, the war on terror, the war on immigration, political correctness, hate crimes, and a host of other official sounding programs aimed at expanding the government's power at the expense of individual freedoms. The building blocks for the bleak future we're just now getting a foretaste of, police shootings of unarmed citizens, profit-driven prisons, weapons of compliance of wall-to-wall surveillance state pre-crime programs, the suspect society, school-to-prison pipelines, militarized police, over-criminalization, SWAT team raids, endless wars, etc. were put in place by government officials we trusted
Starting point is 00:49:41 to look out for our best interest. Of course we were foolish to trust them on that weren't we? We've got some comments here. Britt Belley, the Epstein list no longer exists. Trump was on it and has had all evidence destroyed. Trump's bondy and Patel are not going to release anything else about Epstein saying there is no evidence. That's right, we saw Cash Patel come out and say, Well, you know, I've seen it and there's nothing on it. You don't have to worry about it. Case closed. Move along. KWD 68. We, the people, put up with much more than our 18th century forebears did.
Starting point is 00:50:24 That's right. We're very passive comparatively. We're very mild. Defy tyrants, 1776. Trump has done one thing very well, and that's turning America into a police state where armed mass government thugs get out of vans and kidnap people at gunpoint. Gotta be good at something, I guess. Defy tyrants again. You will either be ruled by God or ruled by tyrants. It's obvious that Americans have rejected God and

Starting point is 00:52:02 This is from LifeSite. COVID mandates protester and candidate released on bail after over two years in jail. And of course, it was Trump that locked us down here in the United States. He went along with the globalist plan. He was more than happy to. He gave Fauci a green light to do whatever he wanted. He and all of the other nations went along with the lockstep plan that had been modeled. It was a globalist plan. COVID protester Chris Carbert has been granted bail pending his appeal after spending over two years in prison. two years in prison.
Starting point is 00:52:47 carbert has demonstrated that there is no substantial likelihood that he will commit a criminal offense. it was the government that was committing criminal offenses. it was the government that was engaged in crime, locking everyone down, isolating people, as I said, making sure Grandma dies alone, not from COVID, but from the policies that they put in place. Carbert's appeal is expected to be heard in September. So far, Carbert has spent over two years in prison when he was charged with conspiracy to commit murder during the protest in Coutts, which ran parallel to, but was not officially affiliated with the Freedom Convoy taking place in Ottawa. Later, he was acquitted of the conspiracy to commit murder charge, but still found guilty of the lesser charges of
Starting point is 00:53:34 unlawful possession of a firearm for a dangerous purpose and mischief over $5,000. He was engaged in mischief, folks. What a miscreant! In September 2024, Chris Carbert was sentenced to six and a half years for his role in the protest. Six and a half years for protesting the government in Canada. And of course, we see that Canada is generally about ten, maybe twenty years ahead of us down the pipeline, but things are accelerating. We're catching up fast. However, he is not expected to serve his full sentence as he was issued four years of credit for time already served. Carbert is also prohibited from owning firearms for life and required to provide a DNA sample. Carbert was arrested alongside Anthony Olienek,
Starting point is 00:54:24 Christopher Lysak, and Jerry Morin, with the latter two pleading guilty to lesser charges to avoid trial. At the time, the Couts IV were painted as dangerous terrorists and their arrest was used as justification for the invocation of the Emergencies Act by the Trudeau government, which allowed it to use draconian measures to end both the Couts blockade and the much larger Freedom Convoy occurring thousands of kilometers away in Ottawa. That's right. These men were dangerous.
Starting point is 00:54:51 They're dangerous terrorists. But we stopped them. But of course, we're going to need to take more of your freedoms. We're going to have to invoke an emergency to stop these protests. Under the Emergency Act, the Liberal government froze the bank accounts of Canadians who donated to the Freedom Convoy. Trudeau revoked the EA on February 23rd after the protesters had been cleared out. At the time, seven of Canada's ten provinces opposed Trudeau's use of the EA.
Starting point is 00:55:24 Of course, Donald Trump enacted an emergency here. And I'd also like to remind everyone this was around the same time that all the BLM riots and everything were going on. Now granted that was mostly in America, There was some in Canada, I don't know if it ever got terribly violent or destructive, but you could never imagine a government going after one of the BLM protesters in anything like this, or else people would justifiably scream from the rooftops about, you know, the oppression of it. That's right. It would be a completely different story. It would be, as you said, they'd be screaming from the rooftops. That's from the Brownstone Institute. The documents speak and they tell a very different story. And this is from Kim Witzak, who my dad has interviewed on SSRIs. Interviewed
Starting point is 00:56:23 about SSRIs. They weren't on SSRIs during the interview. Should clarify that. When my husband Woody died by suicide in 2003, nothing made sense. Everyone around me said the same thing. He must have been depressed. But I lived with him. I knew him. And the deepest part of me, that explanation didn't fit. Woody was outgoing, high functioning, driven, and fully engaged in life. He was training for a marathon, logging his miles, showing up for work,
Starting point is 00:56:50 and showing up for us. He wasn't withdrawn or struggling in the ways people typically associate with depression. The only thing that had changed was five weeks earlier his doctor prescribed him Zoloft, an antidepressant for insomnia due to his new dream job with a startup company. We didn't know much about antidepressants then, but after Woody died, we started digging. We found it was shocking. One discovery led to another. We began connecting the dots. Ultimately, it led us to file a wrongful death and failure to warn lawsuit against Pfizer.
Starting point is 00:57:22 Incover during that legal process changed everything. Internal documents, emails, memos, strategy decks, marketing plans, risk assessments, quiet acknowledgments of harm. Quiet acknowledgments of harm. Oh yeah, that happened, but don't talk about it. All buried inside the system, all on company and FDA letterhead. All never meant for the public eye. That's when I learned one of the most sobering truths of my life. Truth often doesn't come from the doctor's office or the stories we're told. It lives in the documents in black and white behind closed doors
Starting point is 00:58:07 That's right They keep it secret They don't want to tell you these things because it could cut into their bottom line If they tell you how dangerous these medicines are You might not want to take them So when I read this article by James Lyons Wheeler for the Brownstone Institute, the article is, The bio leaked memo. It's time for RFK Jr. to go. A think-take I've come to respect for its commitment to questioning powerful systems
Starting point is 00:58:37 and fostering honest dialogue about the leaked bio memo. Where a pharmaceutical lobbying group discussed quietly removing RFK Jr. and shaping public sentiment, I didn't need convincing. I've seen this before. The names change, but the machinery doesn't. That's right, the bureaucracy is entrenched. No matter who is at the helm of it, no matter who shows up for these hearings in Congress, it still keeps on trucking along. It doesn't simply stop. Things are in motion. You have to clear out the entire system. It's not enough to just replace the face of things. The leaked internal document reportedly from Biotechnology Innovation
Starting point is 00:59:18 Organization, BIO, the powerful lobbying arm of the pharmaceutical industry, had just come to light. the powerful lobbying arm of the pharmaceutical industry, had just come to light. When I read the April 3rd, 2025 steering committee document, it was deja vu all over again. Because it said the quiet part out loud. It is time to go to the Hill and lobby that it is time for RFK Jr. to go. Not because of policy disagreements, but because he posed a threat to the business model, to public scrutiny, to transparency. The memo outlined a strategic roadmap, naming influential voices, outlining investor fears, identifying messaging tactics, and spotlighting political allies like former FDA commissioner,
Starting point is 00:59:58 now Pfizer board member Scott Gottlieb. Of course, that was Trump's FDA head. And CMS Administrator Dr. Oz. As someone with a career in advertising and marketing, I recognized the blueprint instantly. Dr. Oz was championed by Donald Trump. What a great guy, folks. He's a great guy. It reveals how calculated and controlled the public narrative can be, especially when profits
Starting point is 01:00:23 and control are at stake. This wasn't about protecting science or public health. This was about managing perception, neutralizing dissent, and maintaining their political capital. This post isn't about defending RFK Jr. or debating the politics of the FDA or NIH. It's not about red or blue. It's about something deeper and far more dangerous. How far industry will go to protect its pockets and control the narrative, no matter who's in charge. As I have said over and over again, as my dad has said over and over again,
Starting point is 01:00:58 they make so much money off of poisoning the American people. There's no way they want someone in there who will even mention it. They will do anything. They will spend an enormous amount of money. They will do everything they can to propagandize and create fear in the American people to keep generating those profits. And the bio memo isn't the only example of this. There's another document obtained through the Freedom of Information Act request that paints a similar picture. It wasn't a science-led health strategy, it was a nationwide messaging campaign designed
Starting point is 01:01:31 not to support informed choice or foster open conversation, but to shape public behavior while shutting down questions and debate. We were told the public health messaging about COVID was about following the science, but what this FOIA obtained document from Judicial Watch reveals is something very different. A strategic communication campaign designed to shape perception, influence behavior, and saturate culture through entertainment and media.

The fact that it had to be uncovered through FOIA says everything. And of course you just had to uncover the admission, the actual documents through FOIA. To most of us, perhaps all of us here, that... It was obvious that this is what was happening. But if you were to tell people that, they'd look at you funny. They'd call you a conspiracy theorist.

At least those you can look up yourself. Mm-hmm. All right, folks. We are going to take a quick break And we'll be right back. So So So You're listening to The David Knight Show. So You're listening to the David Knight Show. Welcome back folks. We've got some comments. Assyrian Girl. Good to see you Assyrian Girl.
Starting point is 01:08:40 I hope you're doing well. When you think about it, Trump had a brilliant COVID strategy high behind Fauci. It's all his fault. Knowing that Fauci would be pardoned from all crime by the next uniparty installment president, quote unquote, and Fauci gets even richer. It's a win, win, win. That's right, folks. Are you tired of winning yet?
Starting point is 01:08:58 Brian and Deb McCartney says, fault of Fauci, the grand battle plan. And I don't know if that's a book or not. Defy Tyrant 1776. Trump always has a scapegoat. Fauci, deep state. The globalists, Democrats, Rinos never takes the blame for his actions. Well, I mean, Donald Trump's never to blame. He's just trying to do good for us. He's just so hampered by the swamp. It's 40 chess. The Patriots are in position. Don't worry, he's clearing out the secret underground tunnels. The National Guard is at war with the Deep State Lizard pedophiles and we're all winning. You just have to
Starting point is 01:09:34 trust the plan, guys. Trust it. Don't question anything. I still see some people pushing that line of thinking and it's so ridiculous to me that after all these years, after none of the predictions have come true, they'll still just swallow it hook, line, and sucker. This is coming from the expose. Andrew Bridgen versus Matt Hancock. Hancock's done far too much harm and he's the first domino. That's gonna fall. On Wednesday, Andrew Bridgen, former member of the UK parliament posted a video giving an update on the court case he filed against Matt Hancock. Of course, this is the man that laughed about locking people down while he violated his own rules for certain reasons.
Starting point is 01:10:20 The case hasn't moved forward for a year. A case management hearing that was scheduled for November 2024 didn't happen. The court's timetable has been derailed by Hancock's repeated vexatious really attempts to strike out my claim against him, Mr. Bridgen said. Hancock is doing everything he can to stop this case from being heard in front of a judge. I'm not going to let him get away with that. He's done far too much harm. It's the first domino that's going to have to fall," Bridgen said. On January 11, 2023, Andrew Bridgen shared a link on Twitter, which is now X, to an article concerning data about deaths and other adverse reactions linked to COVID vaccines and stated,
Starting point is 01:10:58 As one consultant cardiologist said to me, this is the biggest crime against humanity since the Holocaust. to me, this is the biggest crime against humanity since the Holocaust. Matt Hancock, aka Madazalam Matt, was the UK's Secretary of State for Health and Social Care during the height of the COVID hysteria, who was responsible for overseeing the UK government's COVID response. On 11 January 2023, Madazalam Matt described Mr. Bridgen as a disgusting and dangerous propagator of anti-Semitism in the House of Commons, tweeting a clip of his question to then-Prime Minister
Starting point is 01:11:30 Rishi Sunak in the House of Commons. Manazalam Matt highlighted his malicious accusation. Of course, here is the tweet in the article. The disgusting and dangerous anti-Semitic, anti-vax, anti-scientific conspiracy theories spouted by a sitting MP this morning are unacceptable and have absolutely no place in our society. Of course, he defends himself by claiming the other person is anti-semitic. They're anti-semitic. Don't you know that's the worst thing you can be? Of course, they always throw it at people as a way of screening themselves
Starting point is 01:12:15 Trying to paint these people as some kind of Nazi. All of the buzzwords are here. You've got your anti-vax anti-science All that's missing is him calling him a trooper of some kind. Mm-hmm. But he leads with... racist, homophobe... I guess homophobe is missing, but... That's right. He couldn't work it in there. Maybe he ran out of characters in the tweet, but he leads with anti-Semitic. In a clearly rehearsed move, Hancock's statements were immediately acclaimed by the Prime Minister, and Bridgen was suspended from the criminal mafia popularly known as the Conservative Party. The next day Mr. Bridgen issued a video
Starting point is 01:12:52 statement expressing his disappointment that he had been suspended from the Conservative Party, but that he remained resolute. Reasonable questions about the safety and effectiveness of mRNA vaccines must continue to be asked, and I will continue to ask them. If I cannot do that as a conservative member of parliament, then so be it," he said. Mr. Bridgen denied the comment and was racist or anti-Semitic, and said he would be speaking to a legal team who will commence action against those who have led the call, suggesting that I am. January 13, 2023, Mr. Bridgen tweeted, Matt Hancock has still not removed his defamatory tweet falsely alleging that I'm anti-Semitic.
Starting point is 01:13:26 I will allow Matt three days to apologize publicly for calling me an anti-Semi and racist or be contacted by my legal team. But as the lamb Matt didn't apologize, so Mr. Bridgen began libel proceedings to sue him for £100,000. On the 26th of January, Mr. Bridgen confirmed that Hancock had received a letter before action. According to the seven-page letter before action, Mr. Bridgen wanted Hancock to retract and delete the defamatory statement contained in the tweet, complained with immediate effect.
Starting point is 01:13:59 The letter said he should apologize for the tweet, complained of, both orally in the House of Commons and in writing on Mr. Hancock's personal Twitter account. But as Lam-Matt has attempted to have the libel case against him thrown out, for example, he claimed that he did not. He had not identified Mr. Bridgen in his tweet, so the case should not go ahead. But in March 2024, a high court judge threw out Hancock's bid to strike out the claim. What a weasel. What a worm. Well, I didn't specify who I was talking about, don't you know? I didn't specifically say it was about Mr. Bridgen. So therefore you must throw out the case. Despicable. These
Starting point is 01:14:38 people... I think they get to say and do whatever they want without consequence. Paint you with any kind of brush. Call you things that are going to ruin your life, destroy your life. And there's no consequences for them. Of course, as was pointed out, he was the one that laughed about locking people down. Laughed about it while he violated his own rules. My tribute to Christians celebrating Independence Day in the US.
Starting point is 01:15:11 This is from VaccineImpact.com. It's by Brian Shalhavi. When I started making coffee this morning, I turned on a local Christian radio station because I like the worship music they usually play. When I turned it on this morning, a voice was on and said, today we are celebrating the 4th of July with patriotic music as the United States is the most free country in the world. I turned it off immediately and went to my playlist instead. My dad points out we had a similar experience at a church service. We left that church and we never returned after that.
Starting point is 01:15:45 So for all you Americans, American Christians celebrating Independence Day today, and believe that the US is the most free country in the world, I made a short video for you reminding you just what you are actually celebrating. It is a long walk out of the tunnel of darkness called patriotism for most Americans, especially Christians, and it took me many years to get out of that tunnel and into the light of the truth. I know many of you who read Health Impact News are probably still somewhere in that tunnel. I published an article last year, perhaps my most researched and best article of
Starting point is 01:16:20 the year, to help others get out of that tunnel of idolatry. He's got the article linked here. Was the US Constitution written to protect we the people or we the globalists? Were the founding fathers godly men or servants of Satan? He's got more articles like nationalism and the ten commandments,otism or Idolatry, Liberty or Slavery. Here are my previous Independence Day articles since 2021, the year where millions gave their life to serve the medical state by taking COVID-19 vaccines, all in the name of freedom. This is from 2021.
Starting point is 01:17:00 Happy Independence Day? Americans will celebrate Independence Day as CDC reveals almost 7,000 dead, half a million injured following COVID injections. This is one from 2022. America, land of the free, crossed out slaves, home of the brave, crossed out cowards. An idolatrous nation celebrates freedom even though they are slaves to the pharmaceutical cult. And it is amazing to see, for years we pointed out that about 50% it seems like of the advertisements you'll see on TV are for some kind of pharmaceutical medication. Something that you can take to make yourself feel better.
Starting point is 01:17:46 Something that will help solve all your problems for whatever is wrong with your health. This is a new article from crosswalk.com. Four lessons from the founding fathers that we need to hear. At the beginning of June a docudrama was released in theaters and entitled The American Miracle. Our nation was no accident. It explores the ideas that God guided the hearts and minds of our founding fathers because of their belief in his existence, belief in his willingness to move on their behalf, and because of their faithfulness to him. The movie takes the viewer on a journey highlighting the supernatural protection of America's first president, General George Washington, multiple mysterious weather conditions that favored the Continental Army on the battlefield,
Starting point is 01:18:29 and the amazing creation... ...of America. It is... It is truly sad. Let's see what America has become over the years. It is especially ironic every Fourth of July, every Independence Day, where people go out and they celebrate and deal with the rules surrounding fireworks. I've always found that to be deeply ironic that there are pieces of legislation about what kind of fireworks you can buy.
Starting point is 01:19:08 Now these are too dangerous for you. These are not allowed. You can't have these fireworks. This is an article. It's a F-16's escort plane out of area after airspace incursion near Trump's golf course. Remember 9-11? Remember how they just let those planes go on their merry way? But this plane gets near Trump's golf course and it's immediately escorted by F-16s. They're scrambled and kicked out. Dad was talking about this the other night. there's a political pundit, Gorbidal, wrong about a whole lot of stuff, but one thing that he was right about was because his uncle was one of the designers of the NORAD
Starting point is 01:20:02 system, he was one of the first 9-11 troopers. And he said this could not possibly have happened. There would have been jets scrambled long before these planes could have gone anywhere near Manhattan. Yeah. North American Aerospace Defense Command NORAD said the incident, which occurred around 2.39 p.m., marked the fifth unauthorized incursion of the restricted airspace on Saturday, a spokesperson confirmed the jet was an F-16. NORAD aircraft conducted a so-called headbutt maneuver to get the civilian pilots' attention. The aircraft was safely escorted out of the area, NORAD said in a statement. Of course, that never happened on 9-11 in New York or D.C.
Starting point is 01:20:45 never happened on 9-eleven in New York or DC. Never happened. This is from the Daily Skeptic. Britain is turning into a hotel for the world's criminals. And of course, this is by design. This is what they want. They want to get rid of the people who live there. They want to destroy the culture of Britain. They want to destroy and remove the original people. Britain risks becoming a hotel for the world's criminals, warns Guy D'Ampierre in The Telegraph, as new analysis by the Conservative Party reveals that illegal small boat immigrants are 24 times more likely to go to prison than the average British citizen. Although the rate at which foreign nationals are sent to prison is only slightly higher than that for British nationals, the rate at which some nationalities are imprisoned
Starting point is 01:21:32 is much higher. That includes nationalities which are among the largest groups of small boat arrivals such as Afghans, Albanians, and Iranians. Some 3.4% of small boat arrivals could go to prison according to the research, which is 24 times higher than British nationals and 18 times higher than for all migrants. Not only is our asylum system being abused to allow foreign criminals to enter, it is being dominated by those groups of foreign nationals, most likely to commit crime. That means that around 700 of the 20,000 small boat arrivals this year could go to prison. And of course, I believe that there are probably a lot more than 20,000. I think they always under report these numbers. As there is more crime than has ever detected or solved, and as many successfully prosecuted crimes do not result in a custodial sentence, mics open,
Starting point is 01:22:20 the actual number of small boat migrants who commit a crime will be even higher than that. The actual number of small boat migrants who commit a crime will be even higher than that. Among some nationalities the rates are even higher. Based on prison data from March 12th, from March 12% of all people with Somali passports in Britain are in jail. 12% of all Somalis that go to Britain end up in prison. And that's even considering that the British government is not terribly harsh on enforcing their own laws against immigrants. Mm-hmm. They want to make sure these people are seen in a good light. They want to make sure that
Starting point is 01:22:55 people don't have a reason to complain. They don't have things they can point to and say these guys are a problem. So as Lance pointed out, they don't like to enforce those laws. They want to do everything they can to paint them with a good brush. This is from CBS News. Trump says he'll host a UFC fight on White House grounds next year. That's right. Our pro wrestling president is going to have a UFC fight. It'll be a championship fight with 20,000 or 25,000 spectators. I know it's old and tired to say this but this is pure idiocracy. Who cares? Why would he
Starting point is 01:23:33 this is not what the United States government is about. This is not what the White House is for. The idea came up during a Thursday night speech at the Iowa State Fairgrounds one year and one day before the 250th anniversary of the 1776 ratification of the Declaration of Independence. The federal government is planning to mark the occasion with a year's worth of events, including a UFC fight, according to Mr. Trump. Of course, the ultimate fight will be to recover
Starting point is 01:24:01 our republic, that would be the ultimate fight, not this. We're going to have some incredible events, the president said. Some professional events, some amateur events, but the UFC fight is going to be a big deal too. This is nothing but a presidential circus. Further details on the event, which is not lacking for possible names, the Rose Garden fight night, Oval Office Octagon are unclear. Or the President is dead serious about the idea. White House White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt told a pool reporter on Thursday. A UFC spokesperson also confirmed the plans to CBS News. Mr. Trump described it as a championship fight, full fight, with 20,000 or 25,000 spectators. A tall order
Starting point is 01:24:46 for the White House grounds, though, Mr. Trump said. We have a lot of land there, said longtime UFC CEO Dana White will organize the event. It's going to be epic, wrote Levitt on X. That's right, epic. It's going to be so cool, guys. I'll get to watch UFC at the White House. to be so cool guys. I get to watch UFC at the White House. The President's ties to the UFC go back to at least 2001 with the Trump Taj Mahal casino in Lantic City hosted that makes martial arts enterprise. And it still went bankrupt just like the USA. Isn't it wonderful? We're gonna have a UFC fight at the White House. Gonna have two sweaty guys wrestling around on the lawn. Can you imagine what the founding fathers would have said 250 years ago? I'm sure.
Starting point is 01:25:35 Here's the bicentennial anniversary. 250 years on. My how we have fallen. Marjorie Taylor Greene is introducing a bill to curtail weather modification. This is from the Liberty Daily. This is good. This is a good move on her part. One thing that we have started to see is that everyone on the left calls what all weather you know whether it's good
Starting point is 01:26:07 or bad a product of climate change and now it seems like everyone on the right everyone on the MAGA side is calling all weather geoengineering. America has finally entered the weather mod curious stage of awakening as more and more become skeptical of the official government line now there's another voice in DC who's looking at chem trails and asking questions. in fact she's doing more than asking questions she's introducing legislation to stop it. congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is introducing a bill that prohibits the injection release or dispersion of chemicals or substances in the atmosphere for the express purpose of
Starting point is 01:26:42 altering weather, temperature, climate, or sunlight intensity. And of course they passed a bill similar to that here in Tennessee, but it had no enforcement mechanism. They didn't specify how they would punish people that did do that, what they would do about it. There's also the fact that these chemicals, if they're dispersed in one area, in a state nearby, there's no guarantee they're not going to end up in your state as well. It has to be a... it has to cover all of them.
Starting point is 01:27:17 It has to be blocked everywhere. Attempts to block sunlight intensity have been in the news recently with multiple governments particular, the UK and US governments seriously exploring flooding the atmosphere with particles to block the sun. This is ludicrous prima facie, but as we've learned in recent years there is nothing too ludicrous for climate change cultists to try. That's right, they'll attempt anything, because the earth is melting down, or maybe it's cooling down.
Starting point is 01:27:44 It's changing. anything because the earth is melting down or maybe it's cooling down and all of their solutions to their imagined problem are problems in and of themselves all this we've got to restrict all the co2 from the farmers so they can't grow anything we've got to block out the Sun so that the farmers can't grow anything it's all just population control through the guise of saving the planet it's disgusting we're going to saving the planet. It's disgusting. We're going to save the planet. Of course, we're going to destroy your life, your livelihood. We're going to poison you and the ground and the planet as a whole,
Starting point is 01:28:16 but it's so we don't melt the planet down, guys. It's for your own good. Exclusive, more evidence, UK government is quietly funding geoengineering. The UK government is actively funding geoengineering experiments, including technologies that aim to block or scatter sunlight in order to cool the planet. I thought it was already too cold in the UK. Maybe. Maybe that's propaganda. Maybe it's boiling summer over there.
Starting point is 01:28:46 Newly released documents confirm the government is pursuing real world experiments under a public program called the Exploring Climate Cooling Initiative. The work is funded through the ARIA, also known as the Advanced Research and Invention Agency, a body championed by Dominic Cummings and established through the ARIA Act of 2022, which was only revealed through a Freedom of Information request submitted by a member of the public who sent the anonymous tip-off.
Starting point is 01:29:15 Material shows that these experiments are planned, funded, and moved toward physical deployment. None of this has been debated in Parliament. There have been no public consultations. You don't get a say in it. You don't even get to know about it. Government isn't even going to dignify it with a discussion. One of the most striking admissions in a proposal titled, De-Risking Cirrus Modification, aims to alter cirrus cloud formation using particles dispersed by aircraft in order to allow more heat to escape Earth's atmosphere. The trials are structured in phases culminating in real
Starting point is 01:29:49 world experimentation over the Scottish Highlands. These are not just simulations. In the proposal's third phase, researchers state the seeding strategy will involve the release of custom seeding particles over a defined part of highlands to maximize our chances of a successful test. Seeding particles. I wonder what they could be. Because a lot of the stuff they put in is incredibly toxic. It is desiccants. They end up leading to worse forest fires, at least here in the United States.
Starting point is 01:30:25 They dry out the stuff that is left on the ground even more than usual and more rapidly. The release is expected to occur from aircraft based out of Stornoway targeting orographic clouds. The particles themselves are described vaguely and no environmental impact assessment has yet been conducted. In fact, Ari acknowledges that as of yet, no public consultations have taken place. We don't really, we're not gonna tell you
Starting point is 01:30:50 what's in the particles and we haven't done any studies on what it'll do to the ground or to the ability to grow anything there, but this is more important. We don't care what it does to the Scottish Highlands. This program, there are no lions in the Scottish Highlands, but the MacGuffin is there. This program funded by UK taxpayers aims to use aircraft to disperse artificial substances into the skies of Britain to manipulate the climate. The scientific community itself admits
Starting point is 01:31:20 this technique known as Cirrus Cloud Modification, CCM, is poorly understood. Where the documentation states, the true efficacy of CCM is however uncertain, with some models showing negligible benefit and a key uncertainty being the challenging to measure concentration of background ice nucleating particles at altitude. The document notes that previous modeling was inconclusive and cites calls by researchers to pause simulation work until observational data could be gathered. Yet the program doesn't stop at Earth's atmosphere. Another project under the same ARIA funding stream explores the feasibility of deploying
Starting point is 01:31:57 solar shields in space. Titled Planetary Sunshade Baseline Survey. The goal is stated plainly. The Planetary Sunshade Project aims to advance our understanding of space-based solar radiation modification SRM architectures. Researchers are developing models and mission concepts for six types of orbital, including reflective satellites at Lagrange points. And of course, the Lagrange points are these gravitationally neutral areas. So the orbit can be permanent. In between Earth and the moon where it's caught between the
Starting point is 01:32:33 two gravitational pulls. Yeah they have an equal pull on it so it stays in place. Dust clouds made from pulverized asteroids. Diffractive materials to scatter sunlight. Seasonal orbital shading. Isn't that wonderful? Seasonal orbital shading. They're gonna put up some big old screens. They're gonna tint the planet. Can't wait for that. I'm sure it won't have any negative consequences.
Starting point is 01:32:59 Well, we're gonna take a quick break, folks, and we will be right back. Stay with us. I'm sorry. You're listening to The David Knight Show. I'm sorry. Analyzing the globalist's next move. And now, the David Nutshell. Oh You're listening to the David Knight Show. Welcome back folks. We've got a lot of comments here. Knights of the Storm.

Jason says, so the bill does not forbid the release of chemicals for other reasons outside climate change. Mass poisoning is still allowed. The bill should ban it for anything.
Starting point is 01:37:01 Mass poisoning is on the agenda. They're all for it. Nibiru 2029, geoengineering will never end as it provides manufacturing a means by which to dispose of non-recyclable waste. Get paid for it by the feral government. And of course we've seen that with the fluoride in the water as well. It's a great way for them to dispose of this chemical that they can't do anything with. Nights of the storm. Fireworks used to celebrate our independence are produced in a communist nation and illegal in many states. Oh the irony. That's right. Made in China. These are
Starting point is 01:37:39 comments about the UFC fight. Brian and Deb McCartney. There's the UFC fight of the White House every day. Unified fool's club. Angry Tiger's Den. Bread and circuses on steroids, literally. When I first saw that, I thought it was satire. Sadly, it's hard to do satire in this day and age. It's hard to come up with anything more ridiculous than what will actually happen. Satire is outmoded five minutes after it said hired stability how is David's health? God actually talked about it this morning he'll be back soon dad responds to the question of when will David's triumph return happen is I'll be back before I'm able to say triumphant clearly so he'll be back and he'll be hosting the show.

Starting point is 01:40:34 This is from liberty nation news us workers account for all job gains in 2025 Now this is of course coming from the Trump media. Over the last several years dating back to before the COVID-19 pandemic a trend has emerged in the labor market. A divergence between employment levels of natural U.S. citizens and foreign-born individuals. The gap widened substantially during the previous administration favoring newcomers. In the early days of President Donald Trump's second term however, American workers have gained all the new jobs this year. So they say
Starting point is 01:41:11 that's what they're claiming. But when you take a closer look at things, this is from the Mises Institute, half of June's job growth was in the government. Manufacturing jobs are falling. As I said, this is Mises.org and they're telling the truth about things. According to a new employment total released today by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S. economy added an estimated 147,000 payroll jobs month over month in June. This was celebrated in the media and among financial commentators as a sign of great economic performance during the month. Except there's a problem.
Starting point is 01:41:49 Fully half of these new jobs were government jobs. According to the same survey, 73,000 of the 147,000 new payroll jobs were in the government sector. That's right. They're not producing anything in those 73,000 jobs. They're leeching off the taxpayer. You and I are supporting them. They're costing us 73,000 new government jobs. That means only 74,000 of the total were in the private sector. June's surge in government jobs was the largest month-to-month jump in government jobs in 16 months.
Starting point is 01:42:26 That's more than Biden. Government has exploded under Donald Trump. It has gone through the roof. Over the past five years, government jobs growth was higher in only seven other months. Meanwhile, private sector job growth in June was at a nine month low. But the economy is doing great. During June 49.7% of all job growth was government growth, making June the fifth worst month for the total proportion of government jobs over the past decade. Remember how DOGUE was gonna cut government? It was gonna cut waste. It was gonna gut it. It was gonna get rid of all these useless managerial positions and streamline things. Oh sorry we're
Starting point is 01:43:15 adding 73,000 government jobs. DOG was a dodge and a lie. Moreover, in spite of the Trump administration's claims that manufacturing jobs would soon bloom throughout the American Heartland, manufacturing jobs were negative month over month for the second month in a row. Over the past 12 months, manufacturing job growth has been either zero or negative for eight of the past 12. Negative for eight of the past 12. This is a very weak jobs report essentially, so given how every new worker hired in this report is working to pay for the job of equally numerous government employers hired in the same period. Anyone arguing that this is a sign of a robust economy is confused or intentionally misleading the audience. Of course MAGA media
Starting point is 01:44:09 we know intentionally misleads the audience. They're grifters. They will sycophantically praise anything Donald Trump does and run with any party line he comes out with. Unfortunately, a part of the output of these government jobs will also be factored into GDP. Unfortunately a part of the output of these government jobs will also be factored into GDP. They're going to count these. Isn't it wonderful? Things are improving as we balloon the government. These government jobs will be used to further create the illusion of robust economic growth.
Starting point is 01:44:37 This may come as a surprise to those who wrongly thought the so-called Department of Government Efficiency was going to lead to large cuts in government employment. Indeed, some MAGA outlets have attempted to create this impression by focusing on federal employment only. Yet federal employees are only a portion of total government employment, and total government employment has surged in recent months. Yet many of these state and local employees are de facto federal employees since they are funded by federal dollars." de facto federal employees since they are funded by federal dollars. They love doing these little obfuscations, don't they?
Starting point is 01:45:13 Well, he's a local, he's a state employee, he's a local government employee. And yet his paycheck comes directly from the federal government. After all, state and local budgets are increasingly strained and tax revenue at the state and local level fell in 2024. So what is funding all this new government employment? Much of it is the federal government, which continues to spend at historic levels with historically large deficits. As anyone who has worked in a state or local government knows, it is easy to find employees in those departments who are either partially or fully funded by federal grants.
Starting point is 01:45:44 Even if they are technically state and local employees, whatever Doug's contribution may have been, the Trump administration has made it clear it has no plans to actually cut federal spending. Thanks to Trump enormous budgets, the US federal government is still on track to rack up the largest deficit by far since 2021. The big beautiful bill is a business
Starting point is 01:46:03 as usual federal spending bill that will greatly add to mounting deficits and fuel more price inflation. This is from Kitco News. Solid employment data dampens gold, but deficit concerns continue to support prices. Of course, the stock market doesn't mean anything. The stock market is all nonsense. It's completely and utterly rigged. These people...
Starting point is 01:46:38 It doesn't reflect anything of what's going on with the average American. These people are playing their own game. The gold market fell roughly 1% response to data showing that the US economy created 147,000 jobs last month. Of course, as we just discussed, 50% of those are government jobs. This is not economic growth. These people are fools. The markets are heavily manipulated. Yes, heavily manipulated. Of course we always, I believe it was Nancy Pelosi that got caught for insider trading and apologized and they put in a bill that said we're not allowed to do that. But
Starting point is 01:47:22 then when people stopped paying attention they removed it. I said oh never mind. Trump sends tariff letters threatening up to 70% levies sparking fears of delayed trade deals. this is from zero hedge. Trump says they're not love letters. he's sowing more conflict and causing more damage to the average American. This is, of course, going to effectively be a tax. It's going to function as such. It's going to cost more for people to buy the things they need. And of course we've talked about the problems with the tariffs being a tax, but there's still another thing which we've mentioned a few times before, but it bears repeating with these letters. It's just more uncertainty and instability.
Starting point is 01:48:13 Mm. He pulls them off and puts them back on, then talks about them and says, well, maybe instead of this amount, it'll be this amount. And you can't do business with that level of uncertainty. Trump told reporters that 10 or 12 letters would be sent out on Friday with additional letters to follow over the next few days. By the 9th, they'll be fully covered, the president said, referring to the deadline he set for countries to strike deals or face steep import duties. They'll range in value from maybe 60 or 70 percent tariffs to 10 and 20 percent tariffs, he added.
Starting point is 01:48:46 The new tariffs effective August 1st mark a shift away from negotiations toward a more aggressive unilateral approach, as only the UK and Vietnam have struck deals during a 90-day pause. Only the UK and Vietnam. It's a lot of money for the country, says Mario Newfall. We're going to start sending letters out to various countries starting tomorrow. There will probably be 10 or 12 go out, with tariffs ranging from 10 or 20% up to 60 or 70%.
Starting point is 01:49:16 It's going to be a lot of money for the country. Mario Newfall has quoted on Twitter. Alright, I think that's enough of President Trump over there. He is playing fast and loose with the American economy. 60 to 70 percent. Some maybe 10 or 20 percent. Large discrepancies. Last month we reported that U.S. tariff revenue for May soared to a record 22 billion. But this is bad for the economy. It's bad for the economy and Americans when
Starting point is 01:50:20 the government steals even more. Because that's what this is. It's them getting money. You are going to be paying more. They're going to make a lot more money. And the American people are going to be left out in the cold. Besant says tariffs will boomerang to liberation day levels if countries fail to negotiate deals. That's right, we're going to bully, dictate, and tax. We're going to swagger around and tell them how it's gonna be.
Starting point is 01:50:52 This is why a lot of the globe hates us. Hates America. Because we act as if we are entitled to deal with them in a bullying fashion. This is from CNN Business. to deal with them in a bullying fashion. This is from CNN Business. Treasury Secretary Scott Besson said tariff letters will be sent to about 100 countries over the next several days as the Trump administration's 90-day tariff pause comes to an end Wednesday. If you don't move things along then on August 1st you will boomerang back to your April 2nd tariff level. Besson said about trading partners Sunday on CNN's State of the Union with Dana Bash. President Donald Trump has suggested the letter would include duty rates at the current 10%
Starting point is 01:51:29 baseline, or as extensive as 70%. Besant said Sunday the United States would not impose 70% tariff rates on major trading partners. We're going to be sending letters out on Monday having to do with the trade deals. It could be 12, maybe 15. We've made deals also, Trump told CNN's Betsy Klein, when asked about tariff rates late Sunday afternoon at Morristown-Munisul Airport in New Jersey. Trump added that letters will go out on Tuesday and Wednesday. We'll have most countries done
Starting point is 01:51:56 by July 9th. Either a letter or a deal, he said. We've got two more days on that. It's coming up. We'll find out what happens, won't we? The president is right in the midst of discussing all sorts of deals. It's not a new deadline, what you're saying. This is when it is happening. If you want to speed things up, have at it. If you want to go back to the old rate, that's your choice, Bassent said about America's trading partners, and use the European Union as an example of countries coming to the table after Trump threatened
Starting point is 01:52:27 50% tariffs on EU imports. Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, who has blasted Bassent for undermining the economic impact of tariffs, said Sunday on ABC's This Week, the tariffs will probably collect some revenue but would come at the expense of higher inflation and less competitiveness for American producers. It's going to raise inflation and be difficult for American producers to compete. It's going to destroy manufacturing more than it already has been. But that's not what they care about. It's from the Mises Institute. The American Revolution was a free trade revolution. In 1765, a writer at the Boston Gazette complained about the seemingly endless stream of protectionist
Starting point is 01:53:16 laws imposed on the colonists by the British Empire. A colonist cannot make a button, a horseshoe, nor a hobnail, but some sooty ironmonger, a respectable button-maker, Britain shall ball and squall, that his honors worship is most egregiously maltreated, injured, cheated, and robbed by the rascally American Republicans. Sounds much like today, doesn't it? The more things change, the more they stay the same. These are not new problems. They have just reached historic levels. Beginning at least as early as the 17th century, Parliament had placed a wide variety of restrictions on what the colonists
Starting point is 01:53:57 could trade and wear. The British state limited both imports and exports. Under these trade laws, Americans had to ship tobacco, pitch, tar, turpentine, mass, and other specified items to England only. According to Charles Beard in The Rise of American Civilization, commodities of manufacture as a rule they could buy only through English factors, idea being to add to the prosperity of English merchants. Of course now it's for big tech, big pharma, and the other bigs. Whatever big is paying for the lobbying, whatever big is paying into the coffers of the American politicians. Other regulations put restrictions on colonial manufacturing. Woolen goods and hats could not be made for the general trade. Mills for slitting and rolling iron and furnaces for making steel were forbidden. These laws were, according to Beard, the result of specific protests made by interested
Starting point is 01:54:51 parties in England. Of course, this is why Elon Musk wants a party. He's interested in wielding more power. He's not interested in giving the American people back their freedom. They never are. It isn't something that someone is going to give to you. There was the Hated Molasses Act of 1733, which was a protectionist measure designed to drive up the price of foreign-made molasses. It was passed at the insistence of wealthy owners of plantations in the West Indies, many of whom were said to be sitting members of parliament at the time.
Starting point is 01:55:26 The act was a grave threat to the standard of living in New England, where a large rum production industry thrived. The act led to widespread smuggling and opposition from colonists, which eventually led to the nullification of the law. Historian John C. Miller writes in Origins of the American Revolution, Against the Molasses Act, Americans had only their smugglers to depend upon, but these redoubtable gentry proved more than a match for the British. After a brief effort to enforce the Act of Massachusetts in the 1740s, the English government tacitly accepted defeat, and foreign molasses was smuggled into the
Starting point is 01:55:59 northern colonies in an ever-increasing quantity. Thus, the New England merchants survived, but only by nullifying the Act of Parliament, and it seems like the British were in a sticky situation there. In many ways, the opposition to the Molasses Act would prove to be a sort of rehearsal for the acts of disobedience that would lead up to the American Revolution decades later. And when revolution finally did come, trade would indeed be in the forefront of the debate over British abuses of power. After all, with every tariff and with every trade restriction must also come enforcement.
Starting point is 01:56:31 In a lecture on the American Revolution, Lord Acton noted how the British, in the name of protectionism, slowly tightened the screws on the Americans faced with such relentless smuggling and flouting the empire's tariffs and trade controls, the monarchs took ever greater interventions. The right of searching houses and ships for contraband was conveyed by certain warrants called writs of assistance, which required no specified designation. No oath or evidence enabled the surprise visit to be paid by day or night. Of course, we don't even really bother with something like a writ anymore. Or even with knocking. We have no knock raids by SWAT now. They'll bust your door down, flashbang your child, pull guns on you. And if you think you're in the middle of being attacked, you think someone is trying to rob you and grab
Starting point is 01:57:20 your own gun, they'll just shoot you. They'll just gun you down. Acton tells us the American jurists argued vehemently that the writs were an abuse of power, but eventually the court decided in favor of the validity of the writs. That's right. It's same as always. Courts continually uphold no-knock raids. Continually uphold whatever the police state does to us. It's the same as it ever was. With protection must come taxation and enforcement, thus the protectionists tacitly explicitly approve of fines and prison terms against their own fellow Americans who might be so
Starting point is 01:58:00 bold as to disobey the authorities in the tradition of the American revolutionaries. And of course, protection means higher taxes for everyone. Donald Trump loves his high taxes. He's always been a fan. He's a New York Democrat, simple as that. Indeed, modern protectionists have returned, many Americans, to the status of the colonists of the 18th century. Today, a distant government, hundreds or even thousands of miles away in Washington, DC, can impose tariffs and quotas
Starting point is 01:58:32 and restrictions of enormous variety. These protectionist measures might benefit only a tiny number of industrialists or farmers living halfway across the country, all at the expense of everyone else. To justify this, the protectionists invent fantasies such as the one in which all taxation is now justified because there is representation. This is of course a fantasy based on an absurd notion that a few hundred millionaires in
Starting point is 01:58:56 Congress could possibly represent. 320 million Americans spread across a varied geography of more than three and a half million square miles We've seen over and over again that these rich politicians are utterly out of touch. It is not Even if they were there To actually represent us to do the best they could if they weren't bought off and paid for if they weren't Out to get us. They are still detached from us. They are not like us. They wouldn't be able to effectively do it.
Starting point is 01:59:30 Even if they wanted to do their job, they'd be bad at it. In practice, however, the reality of protectionism today is little different from what it was in the days of the revolution. As freedom to trade is restricted, human freedom is likewise restricted. Thus, as Thomas de Lorenzo observed, whenever human freedom advances, as it did with the growth of trade, state power is threatened.
Starting point is 01:59:51 So states did all they could, then as now, to restrict trade. Now this, this is, I was pleased to see this, but we'll have to wait and see how it pans out. Ron DeSantis makes case to end property tax Nationwide we actually have a clip of that. So let's take a look at it to how it goes They're citizens to hire taxes such as higher property taxes to pay for these spending habits and you know these property taxes It's like you you a home, you buy land, you know, maybe you buy the home outright, but maybe you pay off a mortgage over 30 years.
Starting point is 02:00:31 And then, okay, you've paid off the mortgage, you bought the land, you've been taxed many times. It's like, is it your property or not? Just for being on your property, you've got to write a check to the government every year, so you're basically paying rent to the government to live on your own property, and our homestead exemption is not strong enough to help these folks because the property gets assessed so high. And that's the thing, if you buy a home for $300,000 and you know there's certain tax, well then what? Ten years later they say it's worth 700,000
Starting point is 02:01:05 and so and they say you know there's homestead stuff that helps protect you to a certain extent but you're paying. Well we've devalued the dollar so it's now worth 700,000 of these worthless pieces of paper. So I think that's a big issue and I know we're going to be really looking at ways to bring people relief from that because I think it's been really something that's pinching a lot of homeowners, particularly seniors on fixed income. But the reality is, is people have seen, and this is not the state, we don't control this, you know, we've not allowed any of that stuff to happen, we've been cutting taxes, but people have seen their property tax, property tax liability go up over these last years because
Starting point is 02:01:38 the property is being assessed higher and higher. And the reality is, is you don't really know how much your home is worth until someone offers you money and is willing to pull the trigger on a sale. That's how a market works. You can say it's worth this much, but if no one's willing to come and offer you that much, then why should you pay taxes on that amount? And so there's a lot of things
Starting point is 02:01:59 that need to be done with that. But as part of our DOGE initiative, our state task force will look into local government expenditures by utilizing publicly... That's right. They're going to come in and they're going to reassess it. It's now worth $700,000 based on what we believe. Isn't that wonderful? Now you just have to pay taxes on that $700,000. They would never lie about the value of your home to soak you for more money, would they?
Starting point is 02:02:30 No, never. We've got some comments here. Chuck or Chris, for the win, FBI Director Cash Patel says America needs to wake up and prioritize Israel. Well, I've been saying that for years. We don't prioritize Israel enough. They deserve our love and support, our fealty, everything for years. We don't prioritize Israel enough. They deserve our love and support our fealty. Everything for Israel. The Texas flood victims will literally have to pledge
Starting point is 02:02:50 support to Israel to qualify for state emergency funds. We live in absurd times. It's fairly obvious how the influence flows. Our government is bought and paid for. Seeing a couple comments of people rightfully criticizing DeSantis, because of course he has been pretty terrible about free speech and criminalizing criticism of Israel. That's right. But when these politicians do do something good, we need to support the few good things they do do or else we're never going to get anywhere Have a comment from David Knight Where does property taxes go to the satanic schools and them?
Starting point is 02:03:35 this would both allow you to own your own property and it would be something that would harm the satanic government school system, which is win-win. That's right. Your tax dollars would no longer be going to train children in gay sex and queer relationships and transgender ideology. Wouldn't that be something? Wouldn't that be a nice change of pace? We're into our third and final hour of the show now, folks. We're gonna take a quick break and then we're actually going to take a look, a brief look, at what's going on with Israel. Stay with us, folks. We will be right back. In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
Starting point is 02:05:07 You're listening to The David Knight Show. The The The Liberty, it's your move. And now, the David Knight Show. Welcome back folks. As I said, we're going to take a look at what's going on with Israel here. It's truly amazing how slavishly devoted these politicians are to them. Whether it's because solely of APAC funding or because of things like Jeffrey Epstein and a blackmail ring. We'll never be fully certain, but it's probably a combination of the two. We've got some comments before we go to that.
Starting point is 02:07:27 Tunnellord1337. From some of my research into property taxes, they only provide supplemental funding to local government operations. They aren't the main funding of any local government operation. I've got a comment from David Knight as well. If I ran on the platform of ending property tax saying own your home and your children I'd probably get 1% of the vote. It would be amazing to even get 1% of the vote in my opinion. People have completely lost sight of what's important. You'd have to run on some kind of platform about
Starting point is 02:08:02 welfare, giving people free stuff. You have to say how much you support Trump. That's right. You gotta pledge fealty, swear loyalty, and maybe promise that you'd send the kids off to Israel for lessons on why they're our greatest ally. Maybe that way you could get elected. This is the article, APAC funded reps put forward bill to transfer American B-2 bombers and bunker busters to Israel. That's right, we're going to send them bombers and bunker busters because they're not doing enough damage. They're not killing enough people yet.
Starting point is 02:08:41 We haven't empowered them fully. A bipartisan pair of lawmakers has proposed authorizing President Donald Trump to transfer B-2 stealth bombers and 30,000 pound bunker buster bombs to Israel if Iran is found to still be developing a nuclear weapon after last week's strikes. Proposed by Reps Josh Gottheimer, a Democrat from New Jersey, and Mike Lawler, a Republican from New York, the Bunker Buster Act would allow Trump to take actions to ensure Israel is prepared for all contingencies Iran seeks to develop a nuclear weapon. And of course, they're saying the determining factor is if Iran is found to still be developing nuclear weapons and the level that they will
Starting point is 02:09:29 use as determining whether that's true or not is whether or not Netanyahu says so. So in other words, if Netanyahu says they want a bunch of B-2 stealth bombers, they're going to get a bunch of B-2 stealth bombers. That's right. If this passes, Netanyahu's definitely getting those bunker busters. Those B2 stealth bombers. I did a little bit of research into Gottheimer and Lawler. I was curious about a type of legislation they've sponsored, and if there's any previous go-between between them. But there isn't much. They both seem to love Mefa Pristone, the abortion pill. Gottheimer sponsored legislation to protect access to it. Lawler has many times spoken about his support of it. Gottheimer voted in 2021 to federally safeguard abortion and voted in 2022 to protect out-of-state abortion travel. abortion and voted in 2022 to protect out-of-state abortion travel. He also co-sponsored a bill to create a task force to combat abuse of elderly LGBTQ
Starting point is 02:10:31 members. And Lawler, again, the really only tie between them is their support for Mefa Pristone. They've both spoken about it. But Lawler, unlike Gottheimer, says he supports some restrictions on abortions. It's very curious that these are the two people that are sponsoring this bill. Their only real agreement is on Israel. They both think Israel needs more. Needs more support from us., needs more ability to kill people. There, Israel is better at creating bipartisan support and coalitions within the United States government than Donald Trump is. They're able to get these two different people, these two men from opposite parties, not that
Starting point is 02:11:21 they are two opposite parties, you know, we both, we all understand here that it's a uni party and they both all want the same thing really, but they're able to get them to play nice with each other, get them to come to the table and argue that they're, that they should be allowed to have the B-2 bomber and these 30,000 pound bunker busters. Israel doesn't possess the 30,000 pound GBU-57 massive ordnance penetrators, precision guided munition bombs developed for the US Air Force. 20 foot long weapons can travel 200 feet deep inside a target before exploding. As of 2024 the US had 19 B-2s in operation. It does not transfer custody of its B-2 self bombersbombers to any of its allies.
Starting point is 02:12:05 Well that's got to change guys. Israel needs them. They've got to be able to destroy anyth- excuse me. They have to be able to destroy anything and everything within Iran. It's their divine right. So we have to give them this technology. Iran, the leading sponsor of terror and one of America's top enemies, can never have a nuclear weapon. Excuse me again. That's why I strongly supported our military actions earlier this month. Iran has killed scores of Americans, including our service members, and repeatedly attacked our key democratic ally Israel.
Starting point is 02:12:45 Of course, they never talk about the fact that America has been involved and engaged in destabilizing Iran for decades, starting back with Operation Ajax, getting rid of their democratically elected leader, Mosaddegh, and putting in the shah of Iran, who was a brutally repressive totalitarian leader. All because we wanted more access to their oil. Mosaddegh had talked about nationalizing the oil companies, making them a benefit, more of a benefit for Iran. And that was a threat. Of course, Israel sees Iran as a threat, so we have to do everything we can to protect them, to protect our And that was a threat. Of course, Israel sees Iran as a threat.
Starting point is 02:13:25 So we have to do everything we can to protect them, to protect our greatest ally. How are they an ally again? What benefit do we receive from this relationship? Israel must be able to defend herself against Iran. I'm sure that Iran cannot rebuild its nuclear capabilities, Gottheimer said in a statement. This bill gives the President the authority to equip Israel with the tools and training they need to deter Tehran and make the world a safer place, said Lawler. That's right, they need them as tools of determent.
Starting point is 02:13:56 It'll make the world safer when Israel, this country that loves to launch preemptive strikes and assassinate people, has this kind of technology. These Israel first reps would send Israel American nukes if they hadn't already illegally obtained them. That's right. Israel has never cared what America said. They'll illegally obtain them. They'll steal information and secrets if we don't give it to them. This reminds me of another bill put forward last year by another pair of APAC-funded congressmen, which sought to extend benefits reserved for US government service members to US citizens serving in the IDF. That's right, you serve the IDF. You're gonna get benefits. You're gonna get all kinds of goodies.
Starting point is 02:14:45 serve the IDF, you're gonna get benefits. You're gonna get all kinds of goodies. With the American people's opposition to Israel hitting record highs and Israelis fearing, they've got only two years left to bleed us dry. We're entering a smash-and-grab stage. We're Zionist kleptocrats. We're plundering our nation in a display so shameless it would make Black Lives Matter looters blush. And this is from Information Liberation. That's right, they're worried. What if we can't continue to blackmail these leaders? What if we can't keep looting their treasury?
Starting point is 02:15:14 What if we actually have to pay for some of our own? Amazingly, service member benefits reserved for US government service members, something that ostensibly is given to people that are protecting US interests and are funded by US taxpayers. So it's yet another instance of aid to Israel that we are funding the retirement of people that have aided a foreign country with our tax dollars. They're our greatest ally. They're there to help us. They bring us so much good.

Gaza's health ministry said on Thursday that Israeli forces killed at least 118 Palestinians and wounded 581 over the previous 24-hour period as heavy US-backed Israeli strikes continued across the strip and Israeli troops continued to shoot people seeking aid.

Starting point is 02:17:07 Bloodthirsty warmongering, uncaring nation. In this article, they have these pictures of mourners surrounding these body bags, these corpses wrapped up. And this is happening continually. 118 people in 24 hours, which is likely to be an undercount, which is likely not the full picture. And we're supposed to blindly support them. And we see these Zionist Christians in America just, as I said, blindly, unquestioningly support Israel because of bad theology. Because those who bless Israel will be blessed, right?
Starting point is 02:17:49 Supporting this genocidal regime because they interpret the Bible as saying to support whatever political party is in Israel at the time. This thing which is not supported by more than half of Israelis? Mm-hmm. If... what would happen to these Zionists if Benjamin Netanyahu lost power and a party that was diametrically opposed to everything he stood for took over? Would that still be what you need to unquestioningly support? An Israeli strike on a school sheltering displaced Palestinians in Gaza City killed 15 people. The breakdown of the casualties is unclear, but photos of the funeral for victims at Al-Shifa
Starting point is 02:18:31 Hospital show several tiny bodies wrapped in shrouds. Medical sources told AP that five Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces along roads while attempting to reach distribution sites run by the US and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. Another 40 were killed while waiting for UN aid trucks in various parts of Gaza. They're killed while trying to get aid, while trying to get food so that they can not starve to death. This is just some of the most blatant cruelty and wickedness that I've seen in my lifetime. The Israelis using the aid to gather them into specific locations, knowing that these
Starting point is 02:19:20 people are starving to death, and using that as a way to corral them and kill them. This is from the Libertarian Institute, Amnesty, Israel using starvation to commit genocide in Gaza. One of the top human rights organizations has concluded that Israel is using starvation as a means to commit genocide in partnership with a US-based agency. Of course, the amount of aid that is sent in is not able to feed everyone there. But now they're not just not provide, now they're not just not able to get enough food, but if you go to these places, if you gather and wait, there's a chance that Israel will
Starting point is 02:20:05 just shoot you or drop a bomb on top of you as you do. Evidence gathered by Amnesty International demonstrates how over a month since the introduction of its militarized aid distribution system, Israel has continued to use starvation of civilians as a weapon of war against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip. The scathing summary of the report reads, "...to deliberately impose conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction as part of its ongoing genocide. In the unfollowing Israel's imposition of a militarized aid scheme run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, hundreds of Palestinians have been killed
Starting point is 02:20:40 and thousands injured either near militarized distribution sites or en route to humanitarian aid convoys, it adds. The GHF is a US-based agency run by a Christian Zionist, Reverend Johnny Moore. Since the end of May, the GHF has distributed an insufficient amount of aid to the millions of starving Palestinians in Gaza. I'm sure it wouldn't be some kind of scheme. They wouldn't be working together to be able to gather the Palestinians into places so they can more effectively kill them. I'm sure that would never happen. The method of aid distribution is dehumanizing leads to fights as desperate people race to obtain food. The US government backs the Israeli GHF scheme and provides some funding to the organization. Additionally, Israeli soldiers have killed hundreds of Palestinians attempting to reach
Starting point is 02:21:28 the aid sites, often with tanks, artillery, and drones. Israeli soldiers and officers have said they were ordered to fire on the unarmed civilians. Even with the risk of death near aid sites, many Palestinians make the journey as the alternative is starvation. At least 66 Palestinian children have starved to death under the Israeli blockade of the Strip. The Amnesty Report concludes all the evidence gathered, including testimonies which Amnesty International is receiving from victims, witnesses, and witnesses, suggest that the GHF was designed
Starting point is 02:21:58 so as to placate international concerns, while constituting another tool of Israel's genocide. 66 children have starved to death, that they know of. The likelihood is it's much, much more. 66. As someone who is a new father, I can't even imagine how horrifying it must be to see that happening to your children. To see them waste away like that. It's... it must be so unimaginable, so horrific for the parents of those poor children, and the poor children themselves who pass away. It is truly despicable the tactics that are
Starting point is 02:22:43 being employed against the Palestinians. The devil in the details of Trump's final proposal for Gaza ceasefire. But we've got some comments here before I continue. Travis, APAC is the Gottheimer-Lahler connection. Gottheimer's received two million 1,136, and Loller 639,253. WW.terrierackapac.com. Maybe that's supposed to be trackapac.com.
Starting point is 02:23:15 Have to check that out. I knew that they had both received donations from APAC, but I wasn't able to find any specific amounts. But that makes sense. APAC builds coalitions better than we're able to here. Trucker Chris for the win. If Israel wins against Iran, there will be millions more Arab refugees in Europe. The destabilization of the Middle East has been an utter disaster for us in the West. That's from a purely Machiavellian
Starting point is 02:23:48 materialistic standpoint. Even if you don't care about the loss of life in the Middle East, even if you don't care about the destruction of their countries and what it does to their people, it is simply bad for the West because many of them come here. The devil in the details of Trump's final proposal for a Gaza ceasefire. A Hamas official accused Trump of aiding an Israeli deception operation, but the movement says it wants to bridge the gaps and make a deal. On Tuesday, President Donald Trump touted the new US-promoted Gaza ceasefire framework as the final proposal, maybe a final solution.
Starting point is 02:24:23 While it contained some substantive changes to the previous terms crafted by the US and Israel, the plan would still allow Israel to resume its genocidal war against the Gaza Strip after initial 60-day truce. Trump is a crucial part of Israel's deception operation, a Hamas official told DropSight News. Of course, we know, given Israel's history,
Starting point is 02:24:44 that the most they would wait is that 60 days. But they would very likely find some reason to begin attacking immediately. They have continually claimed that the truce has been violated on the other side. Well, they did something, so we're justified in responding with overwhelming force. We're justified in using any means necessary. And that's if you believe what they say. I personally don't tend to believe them. The official characterized the proposal, which was also obtained by drop-site, as containing
Starting point is 02:25:22 mostly rhetorical changes, though he acknowledge that some of the amended language describing Trump's desire to end the war was clearly aimed at convincing Hamas to support the agreement. The United States and President Trump are committed to work to guarantee the continuation of the negotiations with goodwill until they reach a final agreement. The draft says according to the Arabic language version given to Hamas, it adds that Trump will personally announce the deal. The Hamas official said the new draft was largely a repackaging of terms that the U.S. and Israel tried to strong-harm Hamas into accepting in late May.
Starting point is 02:25:55 That deal would have allowed some Israeli forces to remain entrenched in Gaza, offered no clear guarantees for a permanent end to the war, and allowed Israel to effectively maintain control of food and aid distribution in Gaza. It would leave Israel in control. It would give them the prerogative to do whatever they want basically. I'm sure they would never stage a false flag with the troops they leave there in Gaza. They would never claim they'd been attacked and as such the war is back on that they're continue to be justified. They're bombing of men, women, and children. This is another article from anti-war but this time it's about Ukraine because
Starting point is 02:26:40 America is involved in many proxy wars. Trump speaks with Putin, says he didn't make any progress on Ukraine. Remember when he said it would be finished day one? Remember his campaign promise? Oh, when I get in power, it's done. It's over. I'm going to end it. That's... Hasn't proved to be the case. It was by Dave DeKamp. President Trump spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday and said after the call that he didn't make any progress on the issue of the Ukraine war. We had a call, it was a pretty long call, and we talked about a lot of things, including Iran.
Starting point is 02:27:17 And we also talked about the war with Ukraine. I'm not happy about that, Trump told reporters before reporting Air Force One. When asked if any progress was made on Ukraine, Trump said, no, I didn't make any progress today with him at all. According to the Kremlin, Putin told Trump that Russia wouldn't give up on its war goals. Our president said that Russia will achieve its goals, that is, eliminate the well-known root causes that led to the current state of affairs to the current harsh confrontation. Russia will not give up on these goals said Putin aid Yuri Ushakov. What led to these conditions? It couldn't be the United States
Starting point is 02:27:58 orchestrating a color revolution in Ukraine. It couldn't be the fact that we basically put Zelensky into place, had him serve our interests, had him move Ukraine further towards joining NATO, causing Russia great distress. Now it couldn't be that. A call between the two leaders comes after the U.S. halted the shipment of some air defenses and other munitions to Ukraine due to the dwindling U.S. stockpiles. Yushchenkoff said that Trump and Putin didn't discuss the halted US supplies to Ukraine, though Ukraine has continued to rage despite Trump's dialogue with Russia and push for a ceasefire. As the two sides remain very far apart on their conditions to end the conflict, the
Starting point is 02:28:37 pause on some US military aid shipments can increase the likelihood of Ukraine making concessions to Russia. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Wednesday that Ukraine was holding talks with the US to clarify the issue of US military support for Ukraine. I need some clarification. Wait, I thought we were your boy. I thought you were going to support this puppet regime. What happened?
Starting point is 02:29:01 I thought we were doing your bidding. One of the main impasses over the issue of territory, as Russia wants Ukraine to recognize What happened? I thought we were doing your bidding. One of the main impasses is over the issue of territory, as Russia wants Ukraine to recognize four Ukrainian oblasts that Moscow annexed in 2022 as part of Russia, which would require Ukrainian forces to withdraw from territory it holds in those regions. During short-lived negotiations in the early days of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in March and April of 2022, Russia's main demand was Ukrainian neutrality. The Biden administration discouraged those
Starting point is 02:29:29 negotiations. Later that year, Russia declared its annexation of the four Ukrainian oblasts and added the recognition of that territory as part of Russia to its demands to end the war. It is truly amazing to see how little Donald Trump has actually delivered on. That he has promised to end these wars and not a single one of them has ended. He's barely even stopped the supply of munitions. In fact, the only reason they were stopped is because we're running low on supplies for ourselves. Maybe we've got to make sure that we've got enough to send to Israel. Maybe that's what will stop us supplying Ukraine, is we have to make sure that we've
Starting point is 02:30:15 got a large enough stockpile so that Israel can demolish Gaza and Iran whenever they feel like it. Because of course, our loyalty to Israel is more important than Ukraine. It always is. We're going to take a quick break folks, and then we'll be right back. And we're going to look at how Donald Trump is working on a mass amnesty bill. As I said, sorry MAGA, no refunds. The The The You're listening to the David Knight Show. Hello it's me, Vladimir Zelensky. I'm so tired of wearing these same t-shirts everywhere for years.
Starting point is 02:32:23 You'd think with all the billions I've skimmed off America, I could dress better. And I could if only David Knight would send me one of his beautiful grey MacGuffin hoodies or a new black t-shirt with the MacGuffin logo in blue. But he told me to get lost. Maybe one of you American suckers can buy me some at the davidnightshow.com. You should be able to buy me several hundred. Those amazing sand colored microphone hoodies are so beautiful.
Starting point is 02:32:54 I'd wear something other than green military cosplay to my various galas and social events. If you want to save on shipping, just put it in the next package of bombs and missiles coming from the USA. Welcome back folks. That's right, Zelensky loves his military cosplay, doesn't he? As I said, we're gonna look at Trump announces he's working on mass amnesty plan for legal aliens after passing the big beautiful bill. Ah, isn't that wonderful? Part of what he's campaigned on, we're gonna deport the illegals, we're gonna secure the border, but nope, we're
Starting point is 02:33:40 going to give amnesty to millions of them. Thursday he's announced he's working on a mass amnesty for potentially millions of legal aliens working in farms and hotels and leisure industries, which radical right people won't be happy about. Of course, I'm sure that this wouldn't have anything to do with the staff at his hotels, right? He wouldn't be thinking about the fact that if he gets rid of the illegals that are working there, he would have to pay an American a proper wage to do those jobs. Now, that wouldn't be one of Donald's concerns. And the quote of radical right is from Trump himself.
Starting point is 02:34:17 That's his supporters, people that wanted something done about the illegal immigrant invasion. They're the radical right. That's right. A direct quote goes, Trump is a New York Democrat. He's always been a New York Democrat. He's just been playing a Republican on TV. You probably saw I got myself into a little trouble because I said I don't want to take people away from the farmers and we're going to do something. I think that's going to be good. Trump told a crowd in Des Moines, Iowa. Referring to illegal aliens, Trump said, if a farmer is willing to vouch for these people in some way,
Starting point is 02:34:50 Christine Ohm, I think we're gonna have to just say, that's going to be good, right? You know, we're gonna be good with it because we don't want to do it, or we take all of the workers off the farms. We're working on legislation right now, he said. I think that's going to make a lot of people happy, Trump said. Now serious radical right people, who I also happen to like a lot, they may not be quite
Starting point is 02:35:10 as happy, but they'll understand, won't they? You know, you probably saw, I got myself into a little trouble because I said I don't want to take people away from the farmers. And we're going to do something I think that's going to be good because we want all the criminals out. Everybody agrees that we're finding the criminals the murderers that drug deals We're getting them the hell out of here, but the farmers some of the farmers many of you sitting right here I have four friends right in the fifth row
Starting point is 02:35:34 But some of the farmers were you know they've had people working for him for years, and we're going to do something we're working with Christy and we're going to do something that We're going to sort of put the farmers in charge I'm gonna do something somebody of a part if a farmer has been with one of these people that Work so hard they bend over all day. We don't have too many people can do that But they work very hard and Donald Trump there. We're gonna do something. We're gonna do something these farmers They don't want to pay Americans to do the job. Americans won't do it at these third world prices. They want to be able to live a comfortable life. They want to be able
Starting point is 02:36:14 to support a family without living in poverty. And that's not acceptable. We can't afford that. Stephen Miller and other MAGA shills were all pushing this big beautiful bill by telling their followers it would lay the groundwork for mass deportations, but not even 24 hours later Trump is already pushing for a mass amnesty. BBB will liberate America from invasion. Occupied towns will be freed. Whole towns saved. A precise coalition to pass this bill only exists for a fleeting instant, and yet one or two members may tank it because the largest spending cut in history isn't 1% larger. And that's from Stephen Miller. That was from July 3rd.
Starting point is 02:36:56 Only four days ago. Only four days. Imagine having the chance to undo years of illegal mass migration and finding some obscure reason to say no. Sorry Stephen, no refunds. But I'm sure he'll come up with a way to spin it. To say, oh no, this is actually a great thing. This is good. This is what you wanted. You were just too stupid to realize it.
Starting point is 02:37:20 Something Donald Trump campaigned heavily on is being thrown out the window. How many fell for it again awards do people need to rack up before they realize they're being conned? That's right, MAGA, you get another one. You're gonna look like one of those North Korean generals with all these Felfort again awards pinned to your chest. Outsourcing mania. Microsoft expands American layoffs while lobbying for even more foreign workers.
Starting point is 02:37:51 That was the message one Microsoft employee said, your journey here ends today. That was the message one Microsoft employee said she received when her job was abruptly terminated. Another described the experience as paralyzing. Refreshing emails staring at the screen, heart racing with every ping. A third added, there has been speculation for a while, but the scale of today's news still hits hard. Across social media and professional networks like LinkedIn, thousands of American workers have shared that they've been laid off by Microsoft, marking what has become one of the largest workforce reductions in the company's history.
Starting point is 02:38:24 But their job titles reveal a deeper pattern. largest workforce reductions in the company's history. But their job titles reveal a deeper pattern. Many of the same roles are now appearing in Microsoft's filings with the US Department of Labor for H-1B foreign workers. These aren't jobs that they're removing. They're not streamlining the company. These aren't unnecessary. They just don't want to pay an American to do
Starting point is 02:38:46 it. Americans cost too much. They want to be able to support themselves properly. They're not willing, as I said, to live in squalor. This is an issue that plagues many, many different industries. The cost of American workers is one thing. Another thing causing this is simple racism from a lot of these Indian hiring managers. The people that get into HR, there's been story after story where HR gets taken over by an Indian who only wants to hire other people from his country. It is Something we've talked about here before quite a few times now. They engage in these racially nepotistic hiring practices
Starting point is 02:39:35 they don't want to hire white people because The Indian government has engaged in a program to send these people out and to then send money back to India it accounts for Quite a lot of money The Indian government likes that. Earlier this week, WorldNet Daily reported that Microsoft announced major layoffs impacting workers in Washington and California. Even as the company continued pursuing thousands of new foreign hires through the H-1B visa program,
Starting point is 02:40:01 since then the number of layoffs has continued to rise, raising concerns that what began as cost-cutting may now reflect an even broader and troubling shift in Microsoft's labor strategy. As its new fiscal year began on July 1, Microsoft confirmed an additional 9,000 would be laid off company-wide, including 830 cuts in Washington state. Combined with earlier waves in May and June, Microsoft has now laid off more than 15,000 workers since spring, including more than 3,100 in Washington, home to its Redmond headquarters. Although the company previously stated the cuts were meant to flatten
Starting point is 02:40:34 management, publicly available data shows that only 17% of impacted roles in Redmond were classified as managerial. While those layoffs were unfolding publicly another lesser-known development was playing out in Washington DC. In April just weeks before the May layoffs began Microsoft filed a federal lobbying disclosure reporting 2.35 million in lobbying expenditures much of it directed at the Federal Department of Labor, the Department of Homeland Security. The very agency is responsible for overseeing visa certifications
Starting point is 02:41:05 and employment eligibility. Among the listed priorities, high skilled immigration reforms, a long standing policy goal often associated with expanding access to the H-1B visa program. It's not a new strategy for Microsoft. In 2023, the company filed Federal Warrant Act worker adjustment and retaining notification notices,
Starting point is 02:41:25 disclosing 3,426 layoffs across its California and Washington offices. During the same period, Microsoft requested 14,020 H-1B visa workers plus another 708 through third-party staffing firms. This is, again, the hollowing out of the American middle class. You guys want a reasonable living wage. You guys want to be able to support a family. You guys aren't comfortable living in squalor and doing the job for a fraction of what it's worth. You guys need to get with the times. It's about destroying the country. It's also ever since the H-1B visas have become more and more common, as more and more
Starting point is 02:42:18 the American tech sector has moved to India and other places, as they've hired foreign people to do these jobs. The interfaces on everything has gotten worse. Technology has gotten worse. For whatever reason, user interface has become a nightmare. Programs are less reliable, more bloated, more worthless. As someone who works with computers all day, it has been a nightmare to watch
Starting point is 02:42:48 as these programs get less and less reliable, more shoddy, less streamlined. It is, maybe it's, you know, correlation doesn't equal causation, whatever you wanna say, but it has been happening in time with the Americans being driven out of the companies that built these programs.
Starting point is 02:43:10 Company also spent five, five million lobbying in 2023, 4.52 million of which was aimed directly at the departments of labor and Homeland Security on issues related to high skilled immigration and immigration reform. Of course, I've also talked about on the show that India runs many, many diploma mills where they will just falsify your credentials. They'll say, yes, yes, we've trained him in this when the university does nothing but create this piece of paper. Or they'll just claim that they went to these prestigious universities and hope no one checks. It is a huge problem. Microsoft has consistently maintained that the US does not issue enough H-1B
Starting point is 02:43:54 visas to meet labor market demands. On its lobbying blog, the company states, the number of H-1B visas remains very limited. Congress sets a limit on the number of H-1B visas that can be issued each year. Demand far exceeds supply. Demand exceeds supply again because they don't want to pay the actual price for this kind of work. They want it done for cheap. They don't care if it's done well. They want third world prices here in the United States. I want to hollow out and destroy the American middle class. I want to make sure that you can't get a job or you can earn a living.
Starting point is 02:44:31 While it is accurate that US law caps new H1B visas at 85,000 per year, Microsoft's own hiring data offers additional perspective from 2021 to 2024, the company submitted H1B requests at a staggering rate of 5.17 for every one net new job it created in the US. Based on this pattern, Microsoft claims, of a lack of available skilled workers appear less about unmet labor needs and more about the company's inability to replace its existing
Starting point is 02:44:55 workforce at scale due to the legal limits imposed by the H-1B visa cap. That's right. If they get the cap raised, if they get more people brought in, they will simply terminate more of their existing workforce. This imbalance raises further questions regarding how the program is being applied, whether to support innovation or to enable deeper transformation of the labor force. I think we all know what's really happening. I think we all know what's really happening. I think we can all just understand at this point that these large companies hate the American population. They hate the American people. Bill Gates is one of the premier
Starting point is 02:45:41 globalists. Everything he does and everything his company does, even though he's not really the one in charge of it anymore, is about destroying the American people. But destroying people in general. Cecilia, we've got some comments. Cecilia 14 Travis, are you going to discuss the horrific Texas flooding Not especially It is horrible and we should all be praying for them We have been praying for them here. My wife has some friends that lost everything in the flood. They lived nearby and they were the entire family group lived on some land and they
Starting point is 02:46:23 lived on some land and they... multiple generations lost everything. They've got kids who have lost all of their toys, all their clothes. It's truly horrible. So you do need to be praying for them, but I just... It's a tragedy. There's not too much information about it that I feel is relevant for the show today. Just keep them in your prayers. It is a horrific thing to have happen.
Starting point is 02:46:50 Many people have lost their lives. I'm sure we'll be discussing at length the government's mismanaging of the recovery efforts, which is inevitable at this point. Yeah. Once that happens, we'll discuss it, but thank you for reminding me about it, Cecilia, just to keep these people in your prayers. Keep all the families that have lost loved ones. We've just had their homes destroyed. It is horrible, and they do need our prayers. So thank you. I appreciate you reminding me to bring that up.
Starting point is 02:47:23 TENTAL LORD 1337 Of course the farmers want the illegals. To employ these aliens would be cheaper than paying Americans. That's right, we always hear the refrain, well Americans won't do the jobs. Now what they mean to say is Americans won't do the jobs at the price you want. You would actually have to pay a reasonable amount of money.
Starting point is 02:47:43 You would have to pay something that would sustain a family, sustain them. Another thing that rarely gets mentioned is the incentive that employers have to hire illegals and that they don't have to pay additional taxes on them that are required with US citizen employees. Yes, so not only can you pay these people less, you don't have to pay taxes on them. It is a massive savings for the employers that they get by screwing over the American people. And brought to my attention that a lot of people in chat are talking about Dr. Kirk Moore and the trial that's going on. I don't have any info on him today, so I want to do some research on that before I say anything about it. Don't want to speculate. I want to make sure that we have real data behind it.
Starting point is 02:48:37 So we'll probably talk about that tomorrow or in the coming days this week. So look out for that. But thank you for bringing that to our attention. There's always so much news that it's hard to make sure that we get everything. This is from the AP. Protests against surging mass tourism in Mexico City ends in vandalism and harassment of tourists. That's right, they're mad about tourism in Mexico City because it's gentrifying the area. It's causing prices to go up. They're allowed to be mad about tourism in Mexico City because it's gentrifying the area. It's causing prices to go up. They're allowed to be mad about this. They're allowed to claim it's bad.
Starting point is 02:49:13 We're not allowed to be mad about people who are permanently mooching off the welfare state, or making the country less safe, or making it impossible to find jobs that will pay an appropriate amount of money, who... people who will undercut the American economy and destroy it over time. And they can be upset about this. Yeah, it's their country. Yeah, they hate it. I'm not mad that they're mad about it. I'm mad that we're not allowed to be mad about this sort of thing in our country. If the Mexicans...
Starting point is 02:49:42 And let's not forget, Mexico has a much much more restrictive system for becoming a citizen legally. Yeah, I don't think... I'm not... I don't believe if immigrants are even allowed to actually buy land in Mexico. I know that used to be the case. I believe it's still the case now. I think you're only allowed to rent there. But again, as Lance pointed out, I'm not mad that they're protesting. If they don't want foreigners in their country, that's their right, in my opinion. They should be allowed to protest. And if they want to, kick people out. I just find it ironic that so many people will come here and wave the
Starting point is 02:50:22 Mexican flag and get mad that the American people might want their country to reflect their values and the people that built the country. I said this is from AAP Mexico City, a protest by hundreds against gentrification and mass tourism that began peacefully Friday in Mexico City neighborhoods. Popular with tourists turned violent when a small number of people began smashing storefronts and harassing foreigners.
Starting point is 02:50:46 Hey gringo, get out. Mass protesters smashed through the windows and looted high-end businesses in the touristic areas of Condesa and Roma and screamed at tourists in the area. Graffiti on glass shattered glass being smashed through with rocks read, get out of Mexico. Protesters held signs reading gringos stop stealing our home and demanding local legislation to better regulate tourism levels and stricter housing laws. Gringos stop stealing our home. Oh, the irony.
Starting point is 02:51:18 Those gosh darn gringos. They won't stop undermining our country. And of course, I don't support them being violent. i don't support them destroying private property or stealing things. but a peaceful protest, an actually peaceful protest, not what we have come to call peaceful protest, is completely within their rights. whatever i think the Mexicans have the right to decide for themselves how they want their country run, what and who they want inside it. I think everyone from every individual country has that right." Marchers then continued on to protest outside

Police reinforcements gathered outside the embassy building as police sirens rung out in the city center Friday evening. Marked a violent end to a more peaceful march throughout the day, culling out against masses of mostly American tourists who have flooded New Mexico's capital in recent years. Tensions had been mounting in the city since U.S. digital nomads flocked to Mexico City in 2020. Many to escape coronavirus lockdowns in the U. the US are to take advantage of cheaper rent prices in the Latin American cities.
Starting point is 02:52:29 Since then, rents have soared and locals have increasingly gotten pushed out of their neighborhoods, particularly areas like Condesa and Roma. Lush areas packed to the coffee shops and restaurants. Michelle Castro, a 19-year-old college student, was among the flocks of people protesting. She said that she's from the city, city's working class city center, and she's watched slowly as apartment buildings have been turned into housing for tourists. Mexico City is going through a transformation, she said. There are a lot of foreigners, namely Americans, coming to live here.
Starting point is 02:52:59 Many say it's xenophobia, but it's not. It's just that so many foreigners come here. Rents are skyrocketing because of Airbnb.

Starting point is 02:54:39 Mutilation. A prominent criminal lawyer is speaking out on the ramifications of a new Spanish law that could effectively criminalize resisting the gender transition of a confused child. Proved last month by the Spanish Congress of Deputies, the new Article 173 to the Penal Code would punish potentially with jail time any acts, methods, programs, techniques, or procedures of aversion or conversion, intended to change another person's sexual orientation, identity, or gender expression for doctors and parents alike, including resistance to so-called affirmative therapies. That's right, only the government is allowed to propagandize and proselytize to your children.
Starting point is 02:55:18 Only they're allowed to confuse them. You're not allowed to try to help them. So their definition of methods, programs, and techniques or procedures of aversion or conversion don't include their own propaganda and affirmative therapies where they're going to push this on people. The kinds of books that we see them pushing in libraries for children. None of that is considered conversion or aversion, just any pushing back against that. According to these people, the natural state of everyone should be homosexual. That's right. You're not allowed to try to talk them out of it, to try to explain that this is just some mental illness. If
Starting point is 02:56:05 you try to do that, you can end up in prison. Not allowed. And of course we've seen the explosion of this gender confusion over the last few years. Since it became a hot topic and since it became a protected class, since it became part of the oppression hierarchy and they're right near the top, we've seen the explosion in the number of children who identify as such. Because it's cool, because it gets them points on the system. It makes them something special.

On July 1st the European conservative published an interview with Spanish criminal lawyer Paula Fraga who concurred with critics' worst fears about the new law. This means that if a minor claims to feel like the opposite sex, their subjective perception must be automatically accepted without any kind of pushback. Not allowed to question it. You're not allowed to say, this isn't right.

It will... it has gone through the roof. It has gone to the moon. The prices are obscene.

Starting point is 02:59:50 If you take their money, that's what happens. Don't make a deal with the devil. It doesn't end well. This is a monkey's paw scenario. Homeschooling families in California are rallying against a bill they say would cut funding for critical enrichment programs and force their charter schools to close down. The bill would strengthen accountability and oversight to crack down on documented fraud and improper use of taxpayer dollars allocated for public education. The main point is just don't deal with the government. Don't take their money. They will always find some way to use that against you. Just don't deal with them. Ignore them when they come to your door and say, hey, wouldn't you like some money? Wouldn't you like some cash? Courts, LGBT in school,
Starting point is 03:00:47 fine, but Ten Commandments are unconstitutional. That's right. They can learn all about the degenerate LGBT lifestyle. Whatever. All the books that they put into the library are fine. They can promote lesbianism, gayness, bisexuality, transgenderism, queerness, LGBTQ, and other sexual gender perversions. But no, you can't discuss the Ten Commandments. Those are hateful. We don't want that. Ironically, Moses holding the Ten Commandments is literally pictured on the outside wall of the High Court, of the Supreme Court of the United States, SCOTUS. And as any of the students of American education know well, the Bible was the primary textbook used for educating children for centuries, for pagan and godless propaganda took its place over the last century.
Starting point is 03:01:38 Long before child suicide, mass shootings, drug abuse, illiteracy, fake history, fake science, gender confusion, and other absurdities took over what passes for education. The state law, requiring a display of the Ten Commandments, is plainly unconstitutional, they say. Plainly unconstitutional. Well, we are out of time here. I wanted to get to this article, but I dilly-dallied too much. I'm a dilly-dallier.
Starting point is 03:02:09 How horrible. Tunnellord1337. This logic by the Spanish government is hysterical. It reminds me of the criminalization of people talking to kids about sex. Sex, yet when the gov does it, it's somehow okay. That's right. If a normal, average person was to do that sort of thing, they'd be called a freak, a weirdo, potentially a pedophile. Someone with devious intentions towards your children. Not to be trusted, but when the government doesn't it's a-okay.

God bless you all. I'll see you tomorrow. The Common Man. They created Common Core to dumb down our children.
Starting point is 03:03:55 They created Common Pass to track and control us. Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing and the communist future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
