The David Knight Show - Mon Episode #2095: From Free Speech to Thought Police: Republicans Embrace 1984 Censorship

Episode Date: September 15, 2025

00:00:50 – Conservatives Flip Cancel CultureOpening segment critiques GOP leaders for embracing censorship after Charlie Kirk’s assassination, arguing they are betraying his free speech legacy and becoming worse than the left. 00:06:30 – Radical GOP ProposalsRepresentative Clay Higgins is condemned for pushing lifetime social media bans, revoked business licenses, and even driver’s license cancellations for speech deemed offensive—an attack on the First Amendment through Big Tech partnerships. 00:14:00 – Smith-Mundt Act MisusedA viral Trump-supporting TikToker calls for a “Charlie Kirk Act” to censor the press. The host explains how the Smith-Mundt Act was never about punishing speech but restricting government propaganda—warning that censorship is being rebranded for conservatives. 00:23:15 – Cancel Culture HypocrisyBoth Democrats and Republicans are accused of exploiting Kirk’s death—Democrats tying it to gun control, Republicans pushing censorship. The host argues both sides are betraying the principles Kirk defended. 00:31:38 – GOP Leaders Demand ConsequencesSenators like Katie Britt and J.D. Vance are highlighted for calling to punish “hate speech,” showing how the right is embracing the same cancel culture tactics they once condemned. 00:52:28 – Israel, Donors & ConspiraciesSpeculation surfaces that Kirk’s rejection of Netanyahu-linked funding and warnings to Trump about Israel may have made him a target. The host urges caution, noting no evidence yet connects Israel to his assassination despite widespread rumors online. 01:02:08 – Motives Behind Kirk’s MurderCommentary on possible motives for Charlie Kirk’s assassination, including Trump benefiting from chaos and his recent criticism of Israel. Calls for careful examination before jumping to conclusions. 01:03:53 – FCC, Censorship & Big TechGuard Goldsmith highlights how GOP proposals mirror unconstitutional FCC powers. The host warns conservatives are embracing the same censorship and propaganda tactics they once opposed. 01:12:00 – Public Schools as Root CauseDiscussion shifts to government schools as the breeding ground for Marxism, transgender ideology, and political violence. Schools are described as “seminaries” for collectivism and indoctrination. 01:19:21 – Socialist Politicians on the RiseProfiles of young socialist candidates like Mamadou Niang in NYC and Omar Fatah in Minneapolis. Their platforms include rent freezes, taxing “white people,” gender ideology, and anti-police measures. 01:23:11 – Property Taxes & Education FundingAnalysis of efforts in Florida, Texas, and Indiana to roll back property taxes that fund schools. Property taxes are described as “theft,” preventing true ownership and propping up socialist indoctrination. 01:35:36 – Ending Political Violence by Ending Public SchoolsClosing argument that Marxist frameworks taught in schools normalize hatred and violence. The only solution, the host insists, is the complete separation of education from government. 01:44:24 – Discord, Radicalization & SchoolsCriticism of Zero Hedge and conservative media for blaming Discord for radicalizing shooters. The argument is that the true root cause is government schools, not messaging platforms. 01:51:26 – FBI Failures & Influencer BureaucracyCash Patel and Dan Bongino are mocked as “influencer appointees” running the FBI like a pageant. The bureau is accused of incompetence after failing to catch Kirk’s killer without public tips. 02:01:06 – Co-Conspirators & Shooter’s RadicalizationFBI claims to be investigating possible co-conspirators. Discussion focuses on how schools, not Discord or games, radicalize youth into violence, while trans ideology fuels desperation. 02:07:17 – Shooter’s Identity & Furry SubcultureDetails emerge about the assassin’s background: Mormon upbringing, transgender partners, furry subculture, and ideological indoctrination. Schools are again blamed as the pipeline of radicalization. 02:22:14 – Prayer Criminalized in AustraliaReports from New South Wales highlight laws banning prayer for transgender individuals. Framed as proof that Western democracies are outlawing Christianity while enforcing state ideology. 02:35:42 – AI Becomes a False ReligionMillions use AI-powered religious chatbots for guidance. This is described as “Ouija board religion,” a technocratic counterfeit that flatters narcissism while storing confessions for surveillance. 02:51:16 – Venezuela Oil Grab & Trump’s War PlansFinal segment argues Trump’s push into Venezuela is about seizing the world’s largest oil reserves under the guise of “democratic stability.” Parallels are drawn to CIA drug running and past U.S. wars for resources.

You know, world of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act it's the david night show as a clock strikes 13 it's monday the 15th of september here of our lord 2025 well today we're going to take a look at how the conservatives have flipped the script on cancel culture no they're not getting rid of it they're doubling down and they're as bad or worse than the left was. And we've got people like Congressmen, multiple congressmen, many different radical proposals. And of course, that's necessary, isn't it? We've got to have the conservatives do the things that you'd think that only the left would do. That's how this is going to be used. Meanwhile, we'll take a look at the

Keystone cops, actually more specifically, Keystone cash, furries, and the real problem behind all the stuff that no one wants to talk about. I've not seen a single article commentator anywhere talking about the real fundamental problem with this and then we look at venezuela nothing other than gangster government the same kind of stuff that smetley butler warned us about except this has some different aspects to it because china is already deeply involved in venezuela this isn't going to be like it was with smetley butler this could be another touchpoint for world war three we'll be right back Well, I got really upset over the weekend when I saw these ludicrous, insane authoritarian proposals from multiple GOP congressmen giving brand new powers to Marco Rubio to revoke passports of American citizens, but especially what was done.

by one representative, Clay Higgins, on Louisiana. I'm going to say there's something deeply wrong with the Louisiana GOP. They have given us Squeaker Mouse Johnson. They have the sycophant that is there who doesn't care about the rule of law in any regard. They've also given us Senator Cassidy, the gatekeeper over health appointments, who is the biggest supporters for vaccine poisoning. And then we've got this guy, this new guy, Clay Higgins, who is truly off-the-wall reactionary to all of this. And he is not just embracing censorship, but the amazing thing to me is that these conservatives are doing it in the name of Charlie Kirk.

Charlie Kirk was all about debate and bringing back free speech. These people are despising his legacy. Truly crazy how they're doubling down. I wrote a substack article about this. cancel culture's new face when conservatives embrace censorship. Not that they haven't always embraced it to some degree more quietly. It's just that with this, they are really coming at us. When you think cancel culture is only a radical left thing, think again.

In the UK, Christians watched in horror and amazement as prayer, silent prayer, wasn't simply mocked as Democrats have done here, but punished. A woman has been repeatedly arrested for praying silently in the vicinity of an infant sacrifice center. Even after the court threw out the charges and awarded damages, the police arrested her yet again. Law doesn't matter to them, only their agenda. Here in the U.S. leftists mocked people for praying after a shooting tragedy. But in the U.K., apparently, they're worried that it works, and they don't want to spare any child from death by doctors. As a matter of fact, that same understanding that prayer works is also in play. In Australia, we'll talk about it later.

they do not want you praying in silent groups over somebody getting somebody away from this transgender insanity. Now, there's not a center that they are protecting. So it's not a physical place. It's not like you're standing out there. So how would they know, right? How would they know that you're praying for that? Are they going to put informants in churches?

Are they going to just assume that because a church, opposes the transgender insanity, that therefore these people are criminals. I think that's the more likely scenario. But they do believe that it works, don't they? And you notice that as our governments in the West turn increasingly towards Marxism and socialism, they become increasingly strident in terms of attacking Christians. J.D. Vance, rightfully called out the UK over this obsession with all forms of censorship, especially social media.

but when it comes to something that American conservatives care about strongly, they show themselves even more zealous in punishing speech than their British counterparts. They remove the mask of pretense as defenders of free speech, first to stop any criticism of Gaza, and now conservatives justifiably angry at the murder of Charlie Kirk are imagining how they can punish those who mock and cheer the murder. Politicians see an opportunity to virtue signal to their base, and they're producing bills that are a repudiation of Charlie's life work.

Charlie Kirk spent his life and gave his life, supporting free and open debate, tolerating those that he disagreed with and inviting them to, quote, prove me wrong. But now multiple GOP congressmen are proposing bills to prove that Charlie was wrong and to punish speech that they don't like. The punishments are radical and in violation of the amendments, Prohibition, the First Amendment's, Prohibition of Cruel, I'm sorry, Eighth Amendment's prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment. This congressman wants lifetime social media bans. He also wants to revoke business licenses.

He wants even driver's licenses revoked if you are engaged in speech that the government doesn't like. This tactic of using big tech corporations, and that's the key thing. He knows that the First Amendment, he knows what it says, and he knows, that it begins with, Congress shall make no law. So this reprehensible traitor, Clay Higgins, says, I'm going to lean into my friends at Big Tech. That's the way they've done it all along. We knew that before we got the documents with the Twitter dump.

We already knew who was pushing this stuff. And it was coming out of the Trump administration during the so-called pandemic. Then, of course, Biden went deep into it. I've been banned from YouTube for opposing the pandemic lockdowns, MRN, genetic weapons, etc. They won't even allow me to put up a music channel. I've been fired by so-called alt media for opposing Stop the Steel. I've been banned by Teal's Mafia on PayPal and Venmo. This is not an abstraction for me. Everyone should recognize that the Chinese social credit system is just a beta test for what the technocracy seeks to establish everywhere for everyone.

An idiotic and ignorant suggestion by young TikToker now is being echoed every single. calling for censorship of the press. She completely misunderstands the Smith Muntback, but she wants to call it this new one, the Charlie Kirk Act. Let me play this for you. You will not believe this person is, goes by the name, Ellie Mae, and I told Karen, I said, who would have thought when we're watching 1960s sitcoms that Ellie Mae and Fred Merckes would become the bane of the 21st century?

Alrighty, this message is for President Trump and his administration. If you stay to watch the video, please tag him down below, share, and repose. so we can try to get this to him as quickly as possible and hope that he can do something with this. President Trump, as a supporter who voted for you three times, I am hoping and praying that you will revisit what Barack Obama and Joe Biden got rid of back in 2013, which is the Smith-Mund Act, which held news corporations accountable for lying to the American people and spreading propaganda instead of truth. I think instead of bringing it back as a Smith-Munt Act, you name it the Charlie Kirk Act, you make it a law, and you make it damn near impossible for these people

to continue to lie to the American public, which has brought chaos, hatred, division, and anarchy all across this country. Fines out the ass, which will damn near bankrupt their company should they lie to the American people ever again. Boy, she has a spitting image of the left, doesn't she, she even looks like it. Because of their constant lies, a man lost his life over it. because of the constant hateful rhetoric of calling him a fascist and a Nazi and a white supremacist and a bigot, the same thing that they called you.

This man is dead. I think this would be a great legacy for him to have a law named after him to force journalists to finally start telling the truth and having the integrity that they have lacked for over a decade. Who gets to decide what the truth is? I hope that you think about it and that you pass it into law. Because we are on a dangerous path right now with the constant lies. and the propaganda, and that doesn't end just at news journalists. It needs

to go to content creators who consistently spread lies and propaganda and half truths. It goes to everybody. Anybody creates content if you participate in social media. And people need to start being held accountable for baseless claims over abysmal things.

It needs to end. So please, if you have it in your heart to have the time to do this, get this in front of Congress, get this past as a and start holding these news corporations, be they right, left, or center accountable for their behavior. Congress shall make no law, Ellie.

There's Exhibit A of the idiocracy that we live in in this country. Don't tell me that Charlie Kirk was turning the youth around. All he did was change the tribes. She is exactly like the leftist, absolutely 100% like them. It's just she wears a MAGA cap. No difference whatsoever. They don't get it. they don't understand what's going on they don't support free speech and debate

and when she starts talking about the smith munt act while she was still in diapers presumably i was talking about that back in 2013 and that was not what she characterizes it as not at all it was not anything at all that would control or judge speech by the press or free speech by the public It had nothing to do with that. Understand that after World War II and kicking off the Cold War, you had Truman did a bunch of things to create the national security state. And then he started using the military as the world's policemen. But really what he was doing was creating a police state here domestically at home. He created the NSA by executive order.

He did the charter for the CIA. They started using the term national security. They changed the name of the Department of War to Department of Defense to be a little more subtle about it. But part of that was the creation of these propaganda organizations, Voice of America, Radio Free Europe and things like that underneath it. And people were concerned that the government was, first of all, creating its own news media. Because the government doesn't have authority to print money, and it doesn't have. authority to have printing presses either does it it has no authority to do those things and people were concerned about it because I understood that the

weapons of propaganda abroad would become weapons of propaganda at home and of course they have you know in addition to that we had things like Corporation for Public Broadcasting and NPR but those were portrayed as they were going to be all about art and so forth but they were propaganda organizations but the Smith Munt Act was there in 19 1948 to swage the fears of conservatives that we were going to create this massive propaganda organization of the government. Of course, they did Operation Mockingbird secretly, but Voice of America was there in your face. And so they said, we're going to prohibit them doing

it here at home. They can only do this abroad. You know the same lies that they told us about the CIA, the NSA, the same lies that then resurfaced when we had, when people found out about it, and they had the Frank Church Commission. The product of that was the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, emphasizing that these organizations, created by Truman and the National Security State, could only spy on foreigners in foreign countries, couldn't even spy on foreigners in America without a search warrant. All of that was a lie, a distraction, and a cover-up. And so she has absolutely no idea what's going on. In 2013, Smith-Munt was not banned. Instead, what they did was they relaxed some of the controls on it. Now, those of us who knew

how the government was lying and had apps for programs for it were very concerned because when we saw those prohibitions being taken away, it's like, well, they're going to double down in our face openly with propaganda, which is what they did. But that was what we were talking about in 2013. This is Obama getting rid of these prohibitions on direct propaganda because that's what he wants to do. And so it has absolutely nothing to do with it. But as stupid as Trump and his supporters are, he retweeted that. So he approves of that message. And he also doesn't believe that there's any controlling legal authority to stop him from censoring people, as we've already seen in his administration. And then that brings us to this other traitor, Clay Higgins.

from Louisiana. He said this, I'm going to use congressional authority and every influence with big tech platforms to immediately mandate a ban for life of every post or commenter that belittled the assassination of Charlie Kirk. You just did more to dishonor his legacy than anybody could have ever possibly done, Higgins. If they ran their mouth with their smart-ass hatred, celebrating the heinous murder of that beautiful young man who dedicated his whole life to delivering respectful conservative truth. Let me say this. Conservatives don't have a different truth. It's like the liberals when they talk about social justice. Once you put an adjective in front of justice, you're not talking about real justice. You put an adjective in front of truth. You're not

talking about truth either. Anyway, he said, conservative truth, into the hearts of liberal enclave universities. Why are we funding them, Higgins? Why don't you stop that if you want to do something? Armed only with a Bible and a microphone and a constitution, which obviously Higgins has never read, though he had to swear to it in order to become a congressman, to have any authority. So I'm going to lean forward into this fight.

this man demanding that big tech have zero tolerance for violent political hate content so he understands that isn't going to get past square one with a censorship bill because of the First Amendment so they always do it in the back door with their partners that they can bully and this guy sits on the house armed services committee so he can bully these people very effectively because most of them have financial interests that he can affect I'm on also going after their business licenses and permits. I'm going to have them blacklisted aggressively. They should be kicked off from every platform, and their driver's licenses should even be revoked.

I'm basically going to cancel these animals who celebrated Charlie Kirk's assassination. I'm starting that today. End of message. Just like Trump does, end of message, like it's some kind of a transmission or something. I cannot express, words cannot express. my utter contempt for people like Clay Higgins and for people like Donald Trump. Absolutely disgusting. Absolutely disgusting.

He's going to cancel with extreme prejudice. So we always knew that that was what they were doing. They're not fooling anybody, but they're not even trying to hide it anymore. So I said, Charlie Kirk didn't just fight for free speech against the censorship that has come to dominate our so-called universities. He also fought against post-modernism, the idea that there is no such thing as absolute truth and authority. So Representative Higgins' intended bill opposes both free speech and embraces the leftist post-modern idea of a, quote, living constitution, unquote. In other words, that it is not fixed, it is not literal, but it is malleable by whatever their whims are, they're evolving whims, by the way. Higgins is the poster child for what Congress conservatives

used to despise, an authoritarian who will use every trick and all of his wiles to circumvent the Constitution and principles upon which America was built. Higgins' voters should ban him from Congress, but that'll never happen due to partisan groupthink and gerrymandering. Unfortunately, Higgins seems to be in the mainstream of current geopolitics. Party politics. When Charlie Kirk was debating students on campus about Gaza, the Trump administration, he was loath to criticize, sought to block money from colleges, which, by the way, the colleges should have never had in the first place, if they allowed forbidden speech, and to deport students who were legally here if they engaged in government forbidden speech. Many of us who said this

was just the beginning have now been proven right. Another traitorous congressman, Brian mask of Florida, a Republican again, has introduced a bill to revoke the passports of American citizens if the government doesn't like you for whatever reason. As far as a TikToker, Ellie May, again, she's a three-time Trump supporter. That tells you everything you need to know about or intellect. Propaganda is the flip side of censorship. The people promoting censorship, whether it's Rubio, Trump, GOP congressman, or some TikTok influencer wannabe, can't handle the truth. Their propaganda doesn't hold up to scrutiny. Unlike Charlie Kirk's respectful manner and his respect for debate and free speech,

many on the right have now become raging reactionaries, demanding to burn down what characterized both America and Kirk. Rather than conserve free speech or the Constitution, They are more like the radical left Jacobins that he debated at the universities. Prove me wrong. That's why I said the very first day about Charlie Kirk. I had some big policy differences with him. First one that he would support, could support Donald Trump after what happened in 2020

with the lockdowns, the genetic code injections, the ventilators, the rest of this stuff. But you can have a debate, and there was a lot of value in being able to have a debate with that we disagree with and because I had that caveat there and folks I'm not going to jump in and declare the guy a saint because he did because he had debates like that or whatever he had to say I'm not going to pretend that I agreed with everything that he said I've opposed him in the past it'd be hypocritical for me to say that but because I say that I'm getting a lot of hate mail from former supporters who canceled me so that's exactly what you would expect isn't it I'm not going to back down. As a matter of fact, I'm not going to revise or revisit any of those

criticisms. I'm not going to revise them either. But I will revisit them in the future after a certain amount of time has happened. But, you know, I agree with him on some things and I disagree with them on other things. These people want to shut down anything that they disagree with. And they are total idiots. It is an idiocracy. You want to talk about playing 40 Chess, these people can't even think four years ahead. What happens if Trump is not there and you've given these powers to the president? They will shut you down. Just as I said earlier, you've got the UK and Australia banning silent prayer. What do you think they're going to do to you if you keep giving them power? If you hate the First Amendment so much that you're willing to give them this kind of

power, what do you think the Democrats are going to do when they win an election? And they will win an election. These people can't play checkers, let alone 40 chests. It's absolutely absurd. Well, let's take a look at the Democrats who are doing the same thing that the Republicans are doing. You've got a Democrat congressional candidate who pledges that he'll do gun control in Charlie Kirk's name. Well, you know, Breitbart says that's ridiculous, isn't it? He absolutely hated gun control. And they're right. He did. But he also hated censorship. And you've got multiple Republicans out there saying that they're going to enact censorship in his name.

So both of them are using his legacy or, you know, what people think he was to push their agenda, which is exactly what we always see. This is Texas congressional candidate Isaiah Martin, a Democrat, pledging to introduce gun control in Charlie Kirk's name, if elected to serve in the House of, representatives. Gun owners of America said this is an insult to Charlie's legacy as a Second Amendment activist. And I would say that it's an insult to push censorship and cancel culture, Clay Higgins, in the name of Charlie Kirk. You completely repudiate everything that he did. The gun control would create red flags, of course. We're not going to red flag people for certain activities, which we'll get into later. After, Kirk's killing a growing chorus of conservatives now once has critics ostracized or fired.

This is from AP, and they also see the glaring hypocrisy and virtue signaling of these people and how they are shamefully using Kirk's death to forward their agenda of censorship and cancelization. Conservative backlash against those who criticize them, the conservatives are calling for firing or ostracism, as I just read you, of those who expressed pleasure at Kirk's death. Council culture is alive and well on the right, and we have seen this for a long time. The Associated Press says, after years of complaints from the right about council culture, from the left, some conservatives are seeking to upend the lives and careers of those who disparage Charlie Kirk after his death.

They're going after companies, educators, news outlets, political rivals, and others that they judge as promoting hate speech. Let me just say, if it's done by flag-hugging conservatives, it's still Jacobin socialism again, you know, off with their heads, kill all the people that I disagree with. It's just if you don't, if you don't support the speech of people you disagree with, as Charlie Kirk did. If you don't support that, you don't have any right to speak either. Oh, but they kill Charlie Kirk. Well, what you're doing is you're ramping this up as well.

A campaign by public officials and others on the right has left, has just, is coming just days after his death, and it's leading to the firing or punishment of teachers, an office depot employee, government workers, a TV pundit, and the expectations of more dismissals coming. This past weekend, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy posted that American Airlines had grounded pilots who he said were celebrating Kirk's assassination. This behavior is disgusting and they should be fired, Duffy said. And let me just say this.

Certainly it tells us something about somebody's character and that might be very disturbing. However, we have seen in the wake, didn't we see with January 6th when people are using you know, uh, martial rhetoric, you know, we gotta fight this. Oh, well, then you're calling for violence, right? No, that's the kind of rhetoric that both sides have always. used, but now everybody is trying to construe that as a call for violence. As elected officials and conservative influencers,

lionized Kirk as a warrior for free expression who championed provocative opinions. They're now weaponizing the tactics they saw being used to malign their movement. The calls for firing, for ostracism, the pressure to watch what you say. This is despicable. These people have immediately jumped into the Soviet bandwagon. Such tactics raise a fundamental challenge for a nation that is already dangerously splintered by politics. Trump on Sunday suggested that he was already using the government

to look into his political adversaries when asked if he would investigate them after Kirk's death. Oh, of course. He used, Pulte, bragged about the fact that he was using artificial intelligence to go over with a fine-tooth comb, all the transactions of people that were political. enemies of Trump exhibit A was Lisa Cook. They're already under major investigation.

A lot of the people that you would traditionally say are on the left, Trump told reporters. The aftermath of Kirk's death has increasingly become a test of the public tolerance over political differences. Republicans are pushing not only to punish the alleged killer, but those whose words they believe contributed to the death or dishonored it. Doesn't this sound like January the 6th and Joe Biden? sounds like everything the left has done. At the same time, some liberals on social media

have criticized those, such as actress Kristen Chinoweth, who expressed sympathy online over Kirk's death. Yeah, of course, they had their Emmy Awards for TV last night. I didn't even know that it was happening. I don't watch TV. And so they're giving out an award show that nobody watches to hand out awards for shows that nobody watches. watches, but it was on drudge. And his comment was that, you know, somebody got up and made a

free Palestine, a comment, shout or something when they won an award. But he said, nobody mentioned Charlie Kirk in it. It was a Charlie Kirk free zone. They didn't say anything negative. They didn't say anything positive about Charlie Kirk, because they've got their own cancel culture, don't they? Adam Goldstein of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, you should see that as fire. That's their initials and they're very heavily involved on college campuses because that is the seminary for intolerance and for censorship and cancel culture. Some Marxist seminary, some Marxist idea. But he said, if there was ever a time to support the better angels of our nature, it is now. Goldstein noted that it's unpopular speech, like people praising the assassination,

that stands as the greatest test of acceptance of the First Amendment. especially when government officials get involved the only time you're really supporting free speech is when it is unpopular speech when it is speech that you hate if you can't support speech that you hate you don't support free speech get rid of the hate speech laws that ought to be the very first thing that's out there do that in charlie kirk's name that would be fitting with his legacy but instead they become the enemies that they say that they were fighting there's no one out They're trying to stop people from loving puppies and bunnies. And so it's not about the speech that you love or the videos that you love.

It's about things that you don't like. And of course, Voltaire never said it directly, but it was a summary of what he said. When he said, I may detest what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it. Not these people. Here's Lindsey Graham. He says, this attack on the movement by using violence says the man who has devoted his entire life to cheering the use of violence, the man who has cheered mass murder of people with unnecessary wars that he constantly pushes us into. Yeah, that Lindsey Graham, it was probably a furry

when he gets home at night. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets outed as a furry himself. Senator Marshall Blackburn called for the firing of a Middle Tennessee State University professor. And, you know, I would say that if somebody is a government employee, the government has the right to do that for whatever reason. And if this person is an assistant dean or whatever her position was there, quite frankly, look, I'm for firing everybody at the universities. I'd like to see them shut down. If people want to start their own universities, just start over again. There's nothing magic about universities. And, you know, one of the things that, that Charlie Kirk was adamant about was that they're not educating people. They're propagandizing them. They're

indoctrinating them. They're miseducating them about the facts. So that was another thing that he was about. He didn't call for defunding them, which is what I would like to see happen. Because conservatives previously felt canceled by liberals for their views, Trump on his first day back in office, signed an executive order, prohibiting everyone the federal government from engaging in conduct that would, quote, unconstitutionally abridge the free speech of any American citizen. But now all of these virtue signallers in his own party are doing it. And, of course, he violated it himself when he started coming after the speech of people, speech that he didn't like, speech that he disagreed with on campus when they started opposing Israel.

At the Munich Security Conference, J.D. Vance criticized the preceding Biden administration for encouraging, quote, Private companies to silence people. Isn't that what Clay Higgins just did? Encouraging private companies to silence people. Who dared to utter what turned out to be an obvious truth regarding the pandemic, he said. He assailed European countries for censoring political speech. Under Donald Trump's leadership, we may disagree with your views, but we will fight to defend your right to offer it to the public square.

Agree or disagree, Van said. Well, that hasn't aged too well. maybe you should tell it to that traitor, Clay Higgins, but of course there's been nothing said to him. Goldstein noted that Trump's State Department, in the minutes after Kirk's death, warned that it would revoke the visas of any foreigners who celebrated Kirk's assassination. I can't think of another moment where the U.S. has come out to warn people of their impending cancellation, said Goldstein. And so, again, it's not just these guys I just mentioned, but you had Cedar and

or Katie Britt of Alabama went on one of the Sunday talk shows yesterday and said there must be consequences with regards to people spewing that type of hate and celebration on the face of this. Look, when the left came out with hate speech, for a short period of time, you had conservatives criticizing the very concept of hate speech, saying it was incompatible with the First Amendment. I still believe that. I still say that. And you can't have consequences for speech, as Katie Britt is saying. If you do, you don't have free speech. She said, and I believe there will be consequences.

If only there could be consequences for senators and congressmen who disavow the Constitution that they swore to uphold as a condition of their authority. Sick and twisted. A U.S. Senator says there must be consequences for people of speaking hate. Again, Katie Britt, she's the one who's sick and twisted. So if you're out there and you're celebrating political assassination of a man who is exercising his free speech, we're going to take away free speech.

We'll show you, right? She said it's a very foundational element, a cornerstone of who we are in the United States. And this is part of the revolution, folks. And it has to come from the right, you understand. It has to come from right. Just like when Trump did gun control by executive order. It's got to come from the right. Always has to come from that direction.

have 9-11 and the Patriot Act, that has to come from the right. And then Reagan and the Vaccine Act, the Childhood Vaccine Act, that has to come from the right, just like the PEP Act from George W. Bush. A lot easier to stab the people that are watching you in the back, then attack them from head on. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. We got to make sure that free speech is held, and this hate speech is gone.

No, you can't have both of those things. They're mutually contradictory ideas. If you're going to have free speech, you can't have such a thing called hate speech. It's absolute nonsense. You can't label speech you disagree with as hate because you simply hate the First Amendment. I said censorship is violence.

These leftists always want to say, well, speech is violence. I said, no, censorship is violence. In the same way that Jesus said that if you, he said, you've been told thou shalt not kill. But he says, if you hate your neighbor, you've killed them already in your heart. And I have to say that if you want to censor your neighbor, you have killed them already in your heart. You have, if you want to cancel them, you've killed them already in your heart. Censorship is violence, folks.

Censorship is hate. There was a dark cloud that came over the U.S. when Charlie was assassinated, says Senator K.D. Britt, when Erica spoke, there was a light that broke through. How silly. When they're celebrating his death online, what they're also saying, particularly on these college campuses, is we want to silence your voice. Well, these Republican prostitutes are shouting up loud and clear. There's not any implied silencing the voices. they are demanding it. We must stand up in a unifying way as Americans and say,

we will not tolerate that. Tolerate what? Speech we disagree with. These people are talking out of both sides of their mouth. And people think that they're conservatives. So, yeah, the, you know, anything you want to say about that, Travis, or anyone read some clips there? we got a lot of comments

be my valentine charlie kirk was all about healthy debate and intelligent dialogue a champion for free speech yes we honor him by champion cancel culture and censorship honor seeker if the people were properly educated they could identify a lie and have no need to take her tact but we don't want to train people in critical thought we don't even want to train them in facts her post was completely fact free and she wants to say people shouldn't be allowed to put up stuff that's not true well, then your post needs to be taken down immediately because you don't understand the first thing about what you're talking about.

You don't understand anything about the Smith-Munt Act either. They have no facts. Obermensch. That wasn't even sympathy. That was her commie strategy of let no good crisis go to waste. Yeah, that's right. B. T. Taylor 246. Well, Trump is a New York socialist,

so it makes sense that his supporters support such policies. That's right. Grammy for God. Charlie Kirk Law incoming. rabbit shepherd the only thing that will fix the state of this world is a massive christian revival the likes of which the world has never seen shield your eyes full censorship this is good for israel grammy forgot they got the exact reaction they wanted hadrian was right he recently rejected major donations for t p osa by netanyahu and other jewish donors you haven't seen that

that's right i've got that article here and he goes sonita i can't believe this is where we've gotten I'm not sure why people can't see what's going on and how the government used tragedies to justify taking away more and more of our rights. And Max, because they are faux-conservatives, stop believing people self-identifying as conservative. And that's part of what you get with these movements, like Turning Point. You get this, oh, yeah, I want to be part of that club.

It becomes a fad. And I saw somebody saying, you know, it's like we're talking about with Taylor Swift. Oh, great. The Swifties are now going to all start getting married and having kids. Sure. That'll last about a year.

Sure, man. Their marriages probably won't last to the pregnancy period. These are just people that follow the latest fad. They don't know what's going on. And if you look at that girl, when I first came up on my feet and she's everywhere, it's really gone viral. I looked at that and I thought, this is some raving leftist lunatic. I don't want to hear her, you know, celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk.

But then I saw a comment. about and it's like wait a minute she's proposing censorship and that's exactly she looks and sounds exactly like the brain dead ignorant leftists because she's a brain dead ignorant maga cultist yeah it's amazing uh put up the comment charlie kirk law incoming yet just how they take uh you know the most unpatriotic laws and call it the patriot act yes but this is just going to a step forward to take his name and put it on such a slap in the face to him is shocking. It's like what we were saying before with the tranny red flag law, they wanted some way to get conservatives to support gun control, so make the problem of violent tranny is the face of it.

this is they need some way to get conservatives to support uh censorship and cancel culture so make you know the shooting of someone that's supported free speech the face of that yeah it's the mask thing all over again yeah that's right that's right yeah they always do that and i've said that for the longest time i said you know when you identify a problem with your image or whatever And I noticed this. When I was in college, I bought a VW rabbit. They just come out. And I had a flyer for it.

I got the dealer. And they were bragging about how the steering column was articulated so that if you had a head-on collision, it would break off and not jam the steering wheel into you and kill you, right? Well, it turns out about a year or two down the road, they realized that the Volkswagen Rabbit was the very worst car out. there for having the steering wheel jam into you in a front-on collision and kill you. So they identify what the problem is, and rather than fix it, they claim that it does exactly the opposite.

That's the issue of the Patriot Act, the Charlie Kirk Act. That's why they call smart cars, smart cars. That's why they call smart cities, smart cities, because the smart cities are for stupid slaves. And they always counter-label it. They identify what the problem is. They know exactly what they're doing. Sorry, Travis. we finished all the comments okay yeah so um there's one more and that is um uh the one that

we did not uh more than i want to say about um what's going on with rubio and canceling passports for american citizens but j leno warned that the charlie kirk kirk shooting is quote the death of free speech and this is a guy who could make fun of both sides when he was there this is a you know, this politicization that we're seeing now from Stephen Colbert and all these other people that was not the way that he ran it. He said political adversaries are going to resort to killing those that they disagree with rather than engaging in debate. Or you don't have Republicans who are going to kill free speech.

It's not a random shooting, he said. I mean, it's the death of free speech to think that you are so, illiterate and so stupid that you can't answer verbally and you have to shoot somebody with a gun to win the argument, Leno said, or cancel them, or jail them, or deport them, as Clay Higgins and Brian Mast wanted to do. He said he thoroughly enjoyed debates when he was in college at Emerson University in the 1970s. He vividly remembered civil but passionate arguments between political opposites like James Baldwin and William F. Buckley. Those days are gone. And America is the worst for it, said Leno.

I've talked many times about how I absolutely hated the milk toast, lukewarm garbage of time and newsweek. But I would get the nation and national review, these two polar opposites, and see what they had to say. I wanted to see a debate of ideas. He said, this political assassination of a man who I didn't necessarily agree with, but I certainly enjoyed listening to because, oh, I didn't know that. okay and I didn't have to agree on everything with Kirk Leno said I mean we're at a point in this country where if you don't agree with everybody on everything you take out a gun and you shoot them or you cancel them like traitor Clay Higgins from Louisiana that's the real issue and you cancel their entire life you shut down their business you even take away their driver's license and so forth but this new bill to give Marco Rubio thought police power to revoke U.S. passports. This is from the intercept. In March, Rubio stripped Turkish doctoral student, Oz Turk, of her visa based on what a court later found was nothing more than her opinion piece that was critical of Israel. Now, a bill introduced by the chair of the House

Foreign Affairs Committee is ringing alarm bells for civil liberties advocates who say that it would grant Rubio the power to revoke the passports of American. citizens on similar grounds. It's being sponsored by Brian Masked, Republican of Florida, part of a larger State Department reorganization that is set for a hearing on Wednesday. So I guess they're going to tie it in with some kind of bill that has a lot of other moving parts. That's what they always do.

You know, you're either with us or you're with a terrorist, right? His legislation says it takes aim at terrorists and traffickers. you know, we've been at war with a tactic for a very long time because they don't want to get specific about who they're actually fighting. If they say that this is war against terror, then they can point to anybody and accuse them of being a terrorist, right? We've seen that from both Democrats and Republicans. Remember when Biden pointed at the peaceful J6 protesters

and said that they were insurrectionists and the mainstream media joined along with them. So therefore, they are insurrectionists and you can send them to jail for 20 or 30 years, if you wish. Critics say it could be used to deny American citizens the right to travel based solely on their speech. You thought the no-fly list was a leftist thing, didn't you? No, they're both fine with that. Forget about due process.

You're either with us or you are a terrorist by definition. Freedom of the Press Foundation said the bill will open the door to thought policing at the hands of one individual. See, that's the other thing. That's the loss of due process. You have these Star Chamber procedures. This is just like the FISA court. FISA court is not a court. It's one judge who sits there, right?

It takes place in secret. You're not allowed to know the charges against you. Even if you know that they put you on a no-fly list, you're not allowed to find out why you're put on a no-fly list. You're not allowed to call witnesses in your defense. You're not allowed to have the due process of a trial. This is a determination made. in absentia, secretly done, and there is no response to it.

Marco Rubio has claimed the power to designate people to be the terrorist supporters based solely on what they think and say, because they think and say differently than Marco Rubio. We don't even have to get caught up in what the issues at hand are. It's the principles that are involved. I don't care if he's censoring people because they're for Israel, or if they're censoring them because they're against Israel. It's the principle that is involved. Even if what they say doesn't include a word about a terrorist organization or about terrorism, Brian Mast, for his part,

has publicly voiced his support for, quote, kicking terrorist sympathizers out of our country. And this is just like the people say, well, I want to take down all the false news and all the fake news. Who are you to decide? And on what basis do you decide something is true or false? There's no due process involved. Who are you to put? Who are you to? point at somebody you point at a news organization or a poster on social media and say that's false I'm going to cancel your life or you point to them and say you're a terrorist I'm going to jail you for life I'm going to ban your travel for life or I'm going to kill you how is that any different the left has been using Nazi as the vague term that they throw at anyone they disagree with

to excuse anything they do to them for a long time I guess now the right has terrorist as it's equivalent. That's right. It's like racist, right? Oh, you're racist. The left will call people racist. The right will call them anti-Semitic. Same. And they do it as a beard. Terror convictions come with a stiff prison sentence and pretrial defendants are typically denied a bail. So what is the purpose of this, right? You're going to stop people who are accused of terrorism from traveling, except usually they're either in prison or they're, have been convicted and are in jail, or they are in jail without bail awaiting a trial. So you're going to take their passport?

What is that about? Clearly, there is something else involved here, right? So that section that grants the Secretary of State the power to revoke or refuse to issue passports is not what this is about. There is another section, and it sidesteps the legal process entirely. The Secretary of State would be able to deny passports to people. whom they determine, quote, have knowingly aided, assisted, abetted, or otherwise provided material support to an organization.

The secretary has designated as a foreign terrorist organization. Well, if you talk about material support, that can be, and we have seen that material support for terrorists, it was first passed after the Oklahoma City bombing, and it was toughened after the 9-11 attacks. The Supreme Court ruled in 2010 that even offering advice about international law to designated terror groups could be classified as material support. So I guess it's going to arrest all the lawyers. The government even deemed a woman who was kidnapped and forced to cook and clean

for Salvadoran guerrillas. They labeled her as a material supporter of terrorism. in order to justify her deportation. So citizens would be granted. Here's a thing. They said, well, you're going to write to appeal. Who do you appeal to? The same person that labeled you a terrorist, Marco Rubio.

There is no appeal to another organization to a court. It's, you have to, your appeal is limited to the guy who labeled you a terrorist without due process in the first place. And you've only got to. 60 days to do it. This is just crazy. We've got people in the Republican Party climbing over each other to be the newest and baddest dictator or czar. Isn't it?

Amazing. Basically, you can go back to the secretary who's already made this determination, and you can try to appeal to him. Why are we setting up systems like this? These are systems that are set up for dictatorial tier. folks by its very structure there is no standard set and there is nothing and you can't appeal to anyone that's different other than your accuser I can't imagine that if somebody actually provided material support for terrorism that there would be an instance where it wouldn't

be prosecuted it just doesn't make sense so we know that this is about something else this is about intimidating and harming people over their speech It appears that the right is so convinced that it will never be out of power that the idea that one day the shoe might be on the other foot doesn't even resonate with him. As I said, these are people, forget about 40 chess. They can't think four years ahead. What is to stop a future Democrat administration from designating an anti-abortion activist or a supporter of West Bank settlements or an anti-vaxxer to be a supporter of

terrorism and target them the same way. This list is endless. Look, I have been accused because I oppose the vaccine, because I oppose the mask and the lockdowns. I've been accused even by people on the right, like Scott Adams, of being a sociopath. I've been accused by people on the left of wanting to kill people because I said that these absurd regulations that weren't going to help anybody and we should work and we should not comply with them. And as a matter of fact, we should not just passively go away, but we should actively push back against it. So I've been accused of that. I was canceled for that.

This is coming, folks. And both the left and the right are doubling down on this at a very rapid rate. They both are 100% intolerant of anything that they disagree with. And as one person pointed out, Charlie Kirk recently refused funding from net. Netanyahu, and this is coming from the gray zone. Charlie Kirk rejected an offer earlier this year from Netanyahu to arrange a massive new infusion of Zionist money into his turning point USA. In the past, when he began, he did get a lot of money from Israel, and he has been

an ally of Israel since then, but he was starting to pull back. According to Kirk's friend, who also enjoyed access to Trump in his inner circle, Kirk strongly warned Trump last June against bombing Iran on Israel's behalf. Charlie was the only person who did that, they said, recalling how Trump barked at him, quote-unquote, in response and angrily shut down the conversation. The source believes that the incident confirmed in Kirk's mind that the president had fallen under the control of maligned foreign power and was leading his own country into a series of disastrous conflicts. and the thing is didn't we know that about Trump before the 2024 election

even before the 2020 election why would you support a monster like that Kirk was 18 years old when he launched TPP USA in 2012 from its inception his career was propelled by Zionist donors who showered his young organization with money through neo-conservative outlets like the David Horowitz Freedom Center

he repaid his well-fayed his well backers over the years by unleashing a relentless fire hose of anti-Palestinian and Islamophobic diatribes, says the Free Thought Project, accepting propaganda trips to Israel, and sternly shutting down nationalist forces challenging his support for Israel and Trump during TPUSA events. Few American Gentiles had proved more valuable to the self-proclaimed Jewish state than Charlie Kirk. But as Israel's genocidal assault on Gaza drove an precedent backlash within grassroots right-wing circles where only 24% of younger Republicans now sympathize with Israel over the Palestinians, Kirk began to shift. I have to say, though,

and they finished this with the Free Thought Project article, that there's currently no evidence of an Israeli government role in Kirk's assassination. And I think we should wait for that to surface if it is there. However, that has not stopped thousands of social media users from speculating that the pro-Trump operatives shifting views on the issue contributed in some way to his death. By the time of the publication, over 100,000 Twitter and ex-users have liked a September 11 post by influencer Ian Carroll. And that's the key. He's an influencer. What did I say about influencers last week? These are people who just call them a propagandist. Call them a nudger, Okay. Nudge news from Ian Keller, Carol, who said he was their friend. He basically

dedicated his life to them. And they murdered him in front of his family. Israel just shot themselves, he said. And again, we will talk about some of the conspiracy theories that have come out. I'm going to say that we need to wait until there is more evidence of it. My key is, I think, just as we needed to, we could see that the obvious direction that they were going was the 9-11 act, even if September 11th had been what they said it was. The 180-degree wrong approach was the Patriot Act in this Declaration of Infinite War. And so, again, these Charlie Kirk acts, regardless of what happened, are exactly the wrong thing. Time will tell. And, you know, we will continue to look at this. So far, I've not

any convincing evidence of these conspiracy theories. Have you? No, I haven't seen anything that is hard evidence. People just wildly speculating about things. Yeah, yeah. I've seen a lot of different videos on a bunch of different topics, and it's just not one has had any good evidence. It's all just, well, look at this and look at that.

Isn't that something? It's just... Yeah, I've seen a lot of... Not really. A lot of people pointing out strange things, but we don't have any actual explanations for any of... it. And in an actual shooting, there would be strange things. Murder is a strange event. Strange things happen around strange events.

Yeah, I'm not saying for certain that it is legitimate. Certainly now there's more and more questions, but we just need to hold off and not jump the gun. Yeah, there's a lot of things, as you pointed out last week, Lance, the fact that they didn't have some of these things ready to go. I mean, it took a little while to jump in on this canceled stuff, right? and a lot of that is just anger and reactionary response to what's going on because, as you pointed out, it truly was disgusting. You know, anybody that can look at that shooting of Charlie Kirk and come away cheering from that is really twisted.

But we have a lot of really twisted people, and that's no reason to get rid of the First Amendment, just like it's no reason to get rid of the Second Amendment. Yeah, they're going to be crazy, violent, hateful people out there. But let's not hate the system that, you know, we do need to have a Christian society or we're not going to be able to use the constitutional republic that they gave us. As John Adams said, paraphrasing him, it only works for a moral people. And how are we losing our moral foundation? We're going to talk about that when we come back.

Stay with us. Thank you. I'm going to be able to be. I'm going to be. So, you know, I'm sorry, Making sense common again. Making sense common again.

David Knight Show. Wait a minute. Where am I? Sorry, Jefferson. The scoundrels who put America on central bank fiat currency used our heads on their coins as some sort of trophy. Despicable. This is outrageous.

Washington. I spent my life fighting centralized power. Now the Federal Reserve Monopoly parades us around on their monopoly money. Tell me there's something. some good news to all this. Well, there is a coin they can't control, one that isn't backed by the Fed, but backed by the Fed up.

The all-new David Night Show commemorative coin. Now Patriots can support a show that won't sell out with a limited edition coin that's sure to sell out quickly. They say money talks, and this coin has something worth listening to. The truth doesn't need inflation, only support. Thank you. We're going to be able to be.

You're listening to the David Knight Show. Welcome back, folks. We've got a lot of comments here. Defy Tireant 1776 says Trump wants martial law in America. He benefits from Kirk's death. Yes, absolutely. Yeah, he is the guy to bring us chaos and division. Yeah, and we're talking about motives for his killing,

and certainly there were some clips. I was surprised to see of him criticizing Israel shortly before his death, so that's a motive. But there are other groups with motives, and they are other people with assassins. So let's look at every possibility carefully. If you speak about politics and religion, you're going to attract a lot of haters. That's absolutely true.

We know that, right? Guard Goldsmith and what Clay Higgins wants, what so many MAGA want, is precisely the threat. The unconstitutional FCC holds over broadcasters every day. Yes. Thank you, Guard. Again, Liberty conspiracies, we're going to find Guard. Yes. And lack of challenge to the very idea of the FCC is the core, the alpha in this mindset.

If the GOP will not question that on moral. and constitutional grounds, the rest follows, censorship and propaganda. Yes. I mean, the FCC was originally there to allocate frequency spectrums, which is just like, you know, recording deeds or something, right? But they've made this leap from, say, a bureaucracy that's going to record who owns this area, let's say, talking about that as the electromagnetic frequency, which is geographically based, you know, for terrestrial transmissions and stuff.

They're metacisizing from that to. deciding that they're going to tell you how you can use that land or how you can use that frequency. We've got shield your eyes. Israel lost the information war, so they had to do something drastic to usher in full spectrum censorship. And again, it's very possible Israel was involved, but until there's any hard evidence, just be careful about what you claim and where you say it. Yeah, well, it works against us if we jump to conclusions and get it wrong, right? Because apart from government censorship and things like that, we have to be credible. And so we don't want to jump into something that we can't prove that

it's simply speculation. And that's the most important. That's important for all of us. It's important, not just for us here, but for you as well. You know, you don't want to jump into things and then find out later that it was, you were being had by somebody. If you're trying to change people's minds, if you're trying to get people to see that the government is the enemy and needs to be watched and anything of that nature, it behooves you to be even more cautious and more circumspect. Because one thing you get wrong allows people to discount you entirely. Yeah, they'll always bring that up. They will always bring that up. When you're working in this kind of field, when you're dealing with these kinds of topics, you have to be extremely, extremely cautious about what?

you say and when and i put that comment up uh when you're talking about uh censorship of gaza i'm not sure if that was in reference to that it might have been in reference to the charlie kirk thing since that's what we're primarily talking about but and again i'm personally of the opinion that the the left has a lot of very mentally ill uh insane people and the trans community has been radicalizing itself and they're continually taking medications and SSRIs and all kinds of different things. I don't think, you know, they need any help to want to kill Charlie Kirk. they've gotten plenty of help from pharmaceutical companies and schools there has never been in my opinion a more insane subgroup of people these people are absolutely nuts it's i mean they want to mutilate themselves

they want to mutilate children if that isn't pure evil i don't know what is so that's just my opinion so look at 1980 who's in charge of turning point USA now is that person speaking up against the proposed censorship as charlie would have well that would be his wife and uh you know she is right now very distraught, very angry from what I could see. She is not speaking up against any of these calls for censorship and cancelization canceling people in Charlie's name. Hopefully she will come to her senses after the grief and oppose that. So look at 1980, read that one. Guard Goldsmith, I noticed some conservatives also criticizing private business owners who fire people for their statements, but that is their right with contracts. For government to stop that is another form of

suppression by government. And that's kind of where I stand. I think that if, you know, I do think personally there needs to be some kind of societal punishment for these people, but it needs to come from the grassroots. It needs to come from the companies themselves. So they don't want to be affiliated with these types of people. It is, again, their right to disenfranchise them from employment, get, you know, fire them. And if people don't like what they're doing it, I think what the government involved with a cracker barrel or whatever, right? Make your, make your stance known as an individual, do not get the government involved. Yeah, absolutely.

But these people, uh, uh, we all understand in a company that we operate at the pleasure of the person who owns a company. I understood that at Infowars, right? As a matter of fact, I was even told by Daria, you know, stop criticizing Steve Pachinix the sting. But then Alex kept having him on. Every time he had put him on, I would criticize it because I didn't want to see people deceived about that kind of stuff.

But I knew I was going to be fired. As a matter of fact, I thought I was going to be fired a month earlier. and when it didn't happen, I thought, well, I guess I'm not going to fire me. I got caught in a surprise, but yeah, that was not an issue. I criticized what he's doing before he fired me, so I understood that he's likely to fire me, but, you know, that's his right to do it. I have no, I'm not bitter or angry about that. What I'm upset about is what he did to the people at January the 6th.

Never once complained about the firing. No. We worked at the behest of Alex. If he wanted to fire us for any reason, he could have. It's right as the employer. That's just how it is. I just got you fired, though, at the same time. That was collateral damage.

Yeah, the two of us, he was paying us so much money that it was going to bring the company down, even though he'd had a record year, right? But, yeah, if, you know, personally, you know, if you have someone who's a doctor or in some kind of field where they're providing care, if they're out there, celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk, do you think they're going to, to provide you good care if you walk in an american flag t-shirt is something as simple as that these people see this as a symbol of hate if that's what their job is you know star barkley i'm repeating what someone said if you shoot the person with the microphone you've lost the debate that's

right and now we have we have a republican congressman and marco rubio who wanted to shoot the people with the microphones people with the social media accounts can't let them speak You know, that immediately makes you stop and think, well, wait a minute, you know, what is it that they're trying to cover up here? Let's get to the heart of the issue. A lot of people are talking about all these different knock-on effects and they want to address the symptoms, but not the root of the cause. What is the root of the cause? I've said before, but I'm the only one I hear saying this. Maybe I'm wrong if I'm the only one who thinks this.

I think that the root of this are government schools. government schools are the root of this. This is where the recruitment is coming. I've just looked at the last week or so. We've had reports about in California and Newsom, they've got a new law saying that you cannot tell parents. If you've been able to gaslight a kid into transitioning to a different gender, you can't tell the parents. It's forbidden. And you've got some teachers.

And where were they? I think they were in Massachusetts maybe. But two teachers have filed a lawsuit because they were filed. and because they would not lie to the parents about what the school was doing to their child in terms of gender gas lighting. And so that's really the issue of folks. And I understand that there's a lot of effects out there. You have video games. You have the entertainment industry. You've got mass media and all the rest. Those are also influences as well. But I still say the primary influence that is pushing all this stuff are the schools. They're the ones who are pushing the

pronoun policing they're the ones who are covering it up from the parents they are desperate to do this this is flowing through the schools and of course it's when the kids are young and impressionable that they can have the most effect that's why they're doing it through the schools teachers are facing backlash and termination for mocking charlie kirk's murder well again that's not addressing the real problem the teachers are just the boots on the ground it's the institution that is creating this kind of mindset and these schools that are seminaries for trainees, furries, socialists, and atheists. Social media posts mocking the murder of Charlie Kirk have led to the firing suspension and public condemnation of several educators nationwide. The list is expected to grow.

And yet, the institution is the issue, not the foot soldiers. Yes, the foot soldiers are an issue. I'm not saying they're not, but, you know, let's not, you know, start picking them off one by one. We've got to go to the heart of the issue, the root of the issue. That means we need to have radical change, folks. What does radical mean? Well, it comes from the phrase redix, which is Latin for root. That's what radical change is. It's getting at the root of the issue.

We need to have radical change. We need to completely separate government and education. for all the same reasons that we separate official state churches. Because what the schools are doing is they're seminaries for an official religion. What is that? Secular humanism, atheism, traneism, furryism. I mean, it's all there. It's insanity.

It's darker and darker. Yeah, if you start messing with people's sexual orientation telling them that they're in a wrong body, I mean, you have now created, you've got a person that's in a state of flux and confusion. And you can move them any way that you want to politically. That's why the sexual stuff is so important to them and why they will not give it up. I mean, it is a God to them that they fiercely worship for that very same reason. They get the kids at a very young age and confuse them sexually. That is such a primal motivator of human beings.

And if you start messing with that and switching these people around, then you can do anything to them. It's a real mind control. It's also important to point out that public. schooling is inherently a collectivist by nature. Oh, yeah. And as such, it really will never be able to be utilized to, you know, teach people to be individualistic. That's right.

You have to have a, you know, a curriculum that is distributed evenly throughout all these schools. And since public school has to be funded by the government, you'll always have these people that are going to be there and lobby for more funding. It's always going to worship the state, worship the collective. That's what I say about public health, public school, right? Public health. oh we want the health of the public

if you're going to ignore the health of individuals if you were to have a public school that was there you know preaching individualism and some form of libertarianism or anything along those lines it would eventually abolish itself people would come out of it and go well actually we don't need this

and it's not going to do that yeah that's right some teachers have posted hateful and snarky comments online five educators have faced professional consequences and public outrage for their statements about Kirk's assassination Again, most young voters, however, want to redistribute wealth.

See, I said they're Marxist seminaries. And this is the key thing. The Marxists want to separate you from God. They want to separate you from each other. They want to separate you from any physical reality, even about your body, so that they can come after you in these other areas. And again, did Turning Point turn this around? No, no.

They never focused on defunding the schools. That's the root issue. You can go to the schools and you can argue with the people that are there, and there's a lot of merit to that. I'm not saying that wasn't important. But why not go for radical change? Why not try to shut down these corrupted institutions, which, as Travis pointed out, will never support individual freedom. They will never support liberty. They're always going to be socialist and collectivist.

The survey of 1,21 students found that 55% of voters under 40 would support laws that confiscate second homes, luxury cars, and private boats, in order to help people buy a first home. 25% of those in favor say they would, quote, strongly support such laws. Only 38% of voters would oppose them. So we got like 62%, like 2 thirds. So yeah, let's take people's stuff to help me, right? It is a philosophy that is based on envy and covetousness. It is a philosophy of theft.

Socialists and Marxists are thieves. 62% of young voters believe the economy is unfair to young people. Young Americans are facing real financial pressures and housing insecurity. But what's most concerning is that many are turning toward dangerous collectivist ideas as opposed solutions. Like I said, it's because socialism is based on envy and on covetousness. More than half of them support wealth confiscation to buy homes. And it shows just how far radical policies have penetrated mainstream thinking among voters under 40.

Why is that? Well, because the institutions, the schools were always set up as indoctrination centers. It's just that lately, they have really accelerated it and pushed it very, very hard. I also have a clip in the stream deck

that once you finish this article, I think dovetails into it nicely. I put it together last night. Is that the Hansen Piker? Hassan Piker, yeah. This is, by the way, Chank Uger's nephew, and for those who don't know,

he's one of the biggest streamers on Twitch. into politics, and he's avowedly a socialist and calls himself a propagandist, and he appeals to a young audience. So he's the nephew of stink, Euger, of the young turds? Yeah, so. So this guy's a young turd as well, I guess. Okay, let's play Hassan. I'm sticking tired of it.

Left wingers, liberals, you need to be fucking showing your opponent's guts on there, okay? You need to be gutting them. You need to be shanking these motherfuckers and letting their fucking... How eloquent. Letting their intestines just ride on stage. What the fuck is this, man? Slice him up. Slice them and dice them.

What the fuck is this? You cannot have a bigger fucking layup. You could not have had a bigger fucking layup than a horrible candidate like Herschel Walker. 8-7-4, Belvium driver. I'm going to kill you with my AR-15. Like, that's what the, that's the type of messages they were leaving in this dude's, uh, of this dude's office. And he's resigning.

Like, he's literally, this is his last term. So, so I think that people are a lot more radical. It's hurt poor people that they can, they, they, they can afford housing in Berkeley. I don't know how that one. Well, my understanding is that the property owners who have properties there choose just not to rent it at all. Yeah, kill them. Kill those motherfuckers. Murder those motherfuckers in the street.

Let the streets, let the streets soak in their red capitalist bloods, dude. There was a moment of silence. Why is socialism so popular? In the house floor in Washington for Charlie Kirk just moments ago, bipartisan calls to calm this down, to bring the rhetoric down in this country. Again, there was a moment of silence that came. Dude, by the way, right winger is saying, oh, we got to tone down the rhetoric, once again, is an insane statement.

here, okay? It's like people who perhaps are most responsible for setting up an environment where violence and instability is the norm for everyday Americans. Meanwhile, while they're talking about toning down the rhetoric of violence, Elon must, the owner of this website took no time, like didn't even wait for the confirmation of Charlie Gerset to immediately go, the left is the party of murder. Let the streets soak in their red capitalist bloods, dude. Good job, Travis. That's Hassan Piker. Yeah, well, you know, let's just remember that it was the Turks versus the Armenians

that was the first case of labeled as genocide. And that shows the hatred of the Islamic Street towards their enemies. But this guy has mixed the hatred of Islam with a hatred of Marxism. And it shows, doesn't it? He's a complete champagne socialist. He's a multi, multi-millionaire, born on third base to rich parents. I believe his father was some sort of banker, defense contractor in Turkey. Oh, sure.

And he is one of the main, he's one of the biggest Twitch streamers. You know, tens of thousands of people watch him when he's live. Yeah. And this is the sort of thing that's not just schools, but they're propagandists everywhere. Again, don't let your kids have unrestricted access to the internet. These people are out there. and if somebody is calling for murder and revolution or whatever I mean there's laws on the books you don't have to destroy the First Amendment

someone's comment was you know there was the back and forth of whether the shooter was a leftist or on the right or all this stuff for a while and someone had a really good comment it's like what the left doesn't seem to appreciate is that at this point the shooter's motives aren't all that important relative to the reaction that we've seen

from so many people on the left. This is showing that this widespread acceptance of this is common on the left. That's right. And we're saying that there's a less and less difference between the left and the right at the grassroots level, isn't there? The survey's responses are not theoretical.

Socialist figures like New York City mayoral candidate mom Danny and Minneapolis mayoral candidate Omar Fatah. are being boosted primarily by young voters. Mamdani, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, is supported by 78% of New Yorkers under 45, and is projected to win the race. The Ugandan native has promised free public transportation,

frozen rent prices. Why not just make it free? Why free, you know, just make rent free? Yeah, come on. Stop with the half measures. Let's go full communists here. Universal childcare. medical mutilation for minors packaged as gender affirming care.

He has vowed to defund the police, tax the rich, and tax white people. He's a racist. In 2021, he proposed seizing the means of production, helping to elect more socialists and boycotting Israel. Socialist Bernie Sanders has enthusiastically endorsed him. So where do these people come from? Well, they come from the schools. Why should we be, why should we be, why should we?

be surprised when the schools run by the government, praise the government and want a stronger, more centralized government? And why should we be surprised when the kids coming out of it, when two-thirds of them say that they want to take what you've got so they can get what they want? Okay, because they're theft. The schools are based on theft. Property taxes are theft. Property taxes mean that you can never own anything. And that's what funds the schools. Schools are, therefore, theft. What if the obstacle to home ownership is not the rich people, but what if it's the theft in order to fund these socialist seminaries that we call

government schools? Ron DeSantis is putting on the ballot next year a referendum that would abolish or restrict local governments from taxing owner-occupied homes. This is an article from Jeffrey Tucker. He said, it's a fundamentally disrupt the way that schools and local governments are financed. Texas is also considering the same path. And if you remember, Donald Rainwater, who ran as a libertarian in Indiana, had a great

proposal. I mean, he even thought about how we're going to fix the sales tax thing. He said, make it 7% and you can pay it at the time of closing. They can fold it in. You can pay it off over 30 years. Or you can pay 1% a year for 7 years and then you're done. None of this stuff about paying it forever. Another stuff about paying it on some imaginary appreciation of your value.

You're being taxed on the inflation that's being created by the government that is making the dollar value of your house go up. You know, when you look at a house and I don't know, I guess my parents bought, built the house in 1955, it was like $5,000 or $6,000, you know. And then later on, it's like maybe, you know, I don't know what it was worth. But, you know, it wasn't worth 20 or 30 times or whatever it was. You know, it was at that point in time, it was 30 years old when they went to sell it and had long been paid off. But the property taxes were based on the inflated value because of the dollar losing its value.

So Tucker says, if this spreads to more states, it would amount to a revolution in public financing, but it would amount to a revolution in public financing. but it would amount to a revolution folks in public education. We need to stop paying for these seminaries of socialism. He says it's long overdue. These tax schemes are brutal on homeownership. Indeed, it's hard to say that you ever really are the owner of your home if you're having to pay rent to the government every year and if they can raise that at will.

And of course, you know, we've all seen this. The game is, you know, one year they raise the assumed value of the house and then another year they raise the tax rate, but they never do both of them at the same time. So they'll always say, yeah, we didn't change that part of it, you know. But these two things that multiply out with each other, they are always raising one or the other every year. Home valuation goes up every year.

So does a tax that you owe in the place. You've done nothing but live there and enjoy life. And it's older, but the tax keeps going up. It's entirely paid off. Meanwhile, the government keeps coming after you with ever more pressing demands for money. you can't really say that you are an owner of anything under these conditions. So when I hear about how this will save $3,400 on average in Florida, I nearly faint. In my area of the country, this would be pennies.

Property taxes in New England can be $20,000 to $40,000, and that's not unusual. And same thing in Texas around cities like Austin. You know, you see the same kind of confiscatory tax, especially because they don't have an income. tax. So they lean heavily into the property taxes there. Friends of mine are paying $30,000 in property taxes plus $70,000 per kid for private schools for three kids. In other words, they don't want to use the government schools that these property taxes are paying for. I find it all unfathomable, but that's how New England works. And so he said, how all this is happening? Why is all this happening now? We might ask.

Well, he said the answer traces back to the school closures of 2020 and 2021. It dramatically reduced confidence in the public schooling system, hence the way they're financed. If millions of people are homeschooling and millions more are attending newly established private schools, the political pressure for ever higher property taxes is thereby reduced. I've mentioned many times, I really love the analogy that Alex Newman used. He said, you have to understand these government schools are burning buildings. The first thing you do is you get your child out. of there. Then you work with members of the community to put the fire out before it burns down

the community. These schools with their tranny socialism and their furries and all the rest of the stuff, their drugs and their sex, they are burning down our communities. And we need to stop being having our, not being able to own any property because of them as well. Public schools that rely on income taxes are being depleted of students and teachers. With ever fewer schools to finance, it makes perfect sense that people would start asking profound questions about the property tax system as well. If you get your kids out, you get enough people homeschooling, they're going to look at this and saying, why am I paying for this? And again, it goes back to what Jefferson said about the free exercise of religion. He said at the time when we had a staff,

religion through churches instead of established religion through schools he said in a lot of these different places you were required to attend a church even if you didn't agree with them and even if they were enlightened enough to not require attendance you still had to send them money and that's where we are today you can opt out of the system and if you can afford it you can put your kids in private school or you can homeschool them but you still have to pay to this state religion and he said it is an abomination to require people to pay to support things that they adamantly oppose and folks i adamantly oppose what they teach in school it's indoctrination it's not education these people don't learn anything as i mentioned last week

the debate of some guy who claimed that he was an economics professor with charlie kirk Charlie Kirk threw him a lot of names of economists, and this guy had never heard of any of them, except for Keynes, John Maynard Keynes, which they doubled down on. So they found, people found during lockdown, that they're feeding their children into a system that teaches in a way contrary to their own home life, sometimes even endangering their children with creepy views on gender and sexuality. And I've been saying this for the longest time. I tell people that, and they would not believe that it was happening in their child's classroom.

even if they could see it was happening everywhere else, you know, and they could see that it was happening in their state. They could see it was happening in their school district. They could even see that it was happening in their school, but they wouldn't believe it was happening in their child's classroom until the lockdown. Then they could see it. So this was really a turning point. Yeah, it was the real turning point, you know, not arguing with the products of the system,

but getting to the root of the system that is creating a turning point. these kids who would argue with Charlie Kirk and who would kill him. That's what you have to get at. In northern states, it says Tucker, it will be a long time for such reforms to arrive. This is Jeffrey Tucker. Many cities are stuck in a catch-22 situation. Property taxes are too high to attract residents. Their underperforming schools are voracious and their consumption of tax dollars. It's not likely that the schools will get better with less revenue, so that leaves cities with a huge problem. Yeah, well, we have to understand that, again, even Jeffrey Tucker has not really come to terms with what the schools are really about. No matter how much money you pour into it, they are not going to teach children basic facts, and they're not going to teach them the morality that they need for us to function as a society.

That is a job of parents. The school is achieving its goal right now. Its goal is to create dumb Marxists, and it is doing a magnificent job at it. That's all they can create. Yes. It takes a village to create an army of Marxist. The only real path for reform of these northern cities is to traumatic deregulation schooling itself.

No. Government must have no role. You must have a separation of education and state for all the same reasons that you have a separation of church and state. And I understand that's not in the Constitution, but the disestablishment of education by the state, is what I'm talking about. Because that is essentially a religion. It is an established religion that even if you don't have to attend their seminary, you still have to pay for the seminary. Taxation is ultimately the use of force, says Jeffrey Tucker.

If you don't pay, government can take what is yours and can convict you of a crime. For that reason, taxation should only be used when there is no other option. And the thing that it funds cannot be otherwise provided through market means. You know, we had a population that was far, far, far more educated and literate all throughout up to the early 20th century when all this nonsense began. And so we know that that is not necessary, that schools are not necessary, especially as government schools are not necessary for education. This is also a compassionate strategy for public management, knowing the difference

between mine and thine is a foundational principle of civilization. So what do you expect from an institution that's based on the theft of taxation? Of course, it's going to produce people that think that they're entitled to steal even more from you. And it all feeds off of theft. And they push socialism and sexual depravity and insanity. To impolitical violence, the Marxist framework that legitimizes it must be rooted out. This is John

Milton, or so Hilton Brian, via the Epic Times. Well, the way that you root out that framework, the framework is the schools and you need to defund those schools. Yeah, anything other than that is a half measure and will be an effectual.

That's right. Even if you were to root out every single Marxist teacher in the system, because it is inherently as I pointed out before, collectivist, they'll work their way back in. You cannot police these teachers 24-7, Are you going to have one-to-one, you know, you're going to have a conservative sitting there watching what they teach 24-7?

You can't do that. So when I started putting in some education reform in Texas, you had these teachers going on social media, proudly saying they can't control why I teach in the classroom. I mean, they're absolutely right. I'm going to teach what I want. You would have to, again, double school staff. You would have to have one person, you know, libertarians sitting there,

watching them every moment of every day that they're teaching. And it's just not feasible. It is simply not feasible to do that. Yes. So this article was picked up by Zero Hedge is based on the government's own fantasy narrative. So the original push for public education was born of a revival of classical learning and insisted that young people be taught to love truth rather than their own factions. It was a genuine attempt to train the passions of young citizens towards virtue.

Folks, this is a total fantasy. This is what the government schools want you to think the government schools are about. They never were about that. If you look at the writings of the people that said this up, people like Chorus Man, people like Thomas Dewey, it was always set up to change the kids from the values of their parents. And changing them from their gender is just the logical conclusion of all this stuff. Do you feel like the schools have really helped revine?

classical learning. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. The most disturbing part is that the Marxist framework is not confined to radical academics or activists. Used to be just the universities, but now it's actively taught in the lower schools, just like sexual depravity, and all of it taught at a very early age. When a teacher introduces Marxist analysis, it feels like sharing a secret.

Suddenly, the teacher and student are in on something together. a hidden truth about how the world really works. That dynamic transforms a relationship, and folks, that is exactly what we see with the sexual groomers in the schools. Don't tell your parents, but I'm in on this secret with you. You're actually in the wrong body.

Teachers become allies against parents. This is how education cultivates political violence instead of virtue. In Cyprus, whole generations were taught to see their neighbors as enemies. The result was decades of recurring conflict. The same seeds are being planted here in our own schools under the banner of equity and critical thinking, and you are kept from owning a home so this can happen. This is how

thoroughly they have controlled us. And to the extent that even this guy, again, nobody wants to to talk about the real cause of all this, which is the fundamental cause is a government running education. It needs to be separated away from that. Once young people accept this worldview, they no longer see opponents as neighbors or fellow citizens. They see them as enemies. Once that shift occurs, political violence is no longer shocking to them. It can be rationalized and even praised. And folks, we're not that far.

When you look at the rhetoric now that people feel justified in saying because in response of the criticism and the cheering of Charlie Kirk and the cheering of his death, when you look at the harsh things are being said by people like Clay Jenkins and things like that, It is going to be surfacing in the right as well. There's absolutely, you know, no reason to think that it wouldn't. Human nature says that it will. The script is not picked up by accident. The script is taught.

It is being reinforced every time a classroom divides the world into oppressors and the oppressed. That's Marxism for sure. We will not end political violence until we root out the Marxist framework that legitimizes it. And that framework, folks, is the institution of the, public school. And if you don't want to talk about ending government schools and government involvement in education, you don't understand what the problem is. And you're just going to be propagating it.

Comments? Yeah. You cannot, as a, as we've been pointing out, you cannot get rid of this ideology until you get rid of the schools. They are a seminary for it. They preach nothing but Marxism and LGBT, which are both to just self-indulgent, satanic ideologies that lead to self-destruction. Florida Patriot, I love the David Knight Show, but waiting for these

uncredible and corrupt local federal law enforcement entities to give us the truth is wild. Well, that's not what I'm talking about. Yeah. Have they ever told us the truth about 9-11? No. But there are plenty of people out there investigating it who have told us the truth. The truth is there. We've seen the truth.

There's been many documentaries on it. We've talked about it forever. Will they ever tell you the truth about 9-11 or Jeffrey Epstein or any of the rest of this stuff? Of course not. But we don't need to rely on the government to tell us the truth. we can figure it out for ourselves, an investigator scan. I'm just saying there's not sufficient evidence yet, and I'm not expecting it's ever going to come out of the officials.

I'm just urging caution when you speculate. Don't jump the shark. Don't give them ammunition to use against you by jumping into something that seems plausible, but you haven't seen the evidence for it. You can blow a hole in your own credibility and make yourself ineffectual at reaching people. If you are, you know, something comes out that it, has proven true. And you know, you speculated wildly about something else. And just that's all

emerging. It's just be cautious and be wise about the things you say and how you say it. Timed non-tides. If government is coercing, bribing, bullying private enterprise, that makes them an agent of the state. No? That's how they forced masks and jabs. Shelley, A, how the hell does your company know what you said in a dumb ex post? Well, actually, a lot of companies, when they hire you now, demand to be able to look at your social media. They want access to all of it. Chances are they then regularly check up on what you said. There's also the fact that a lot of people are going in and reporting what people are saying to companies.

They're taking screenshots and saying, this person said this online. Do you really want them working for you? And the reporters might be government. You know, when I spent a long time on the phone with PayPal with Venmo, actually not Venmo, well, PayPal, because Venmo is owned by PayPal. and they both banned me at the same time. The person finally came back and said, the only thing I can find

is that there's a message, you know, delete this account immediately. So who would put out something like that? They would have that kind of weight that they would follow through on it. You know, it wasn't coming from my employer. The real octo spook. And about that,

it's also just good, logical step to not use your real name for most of these accounts. that you're on like it's become a normal thing to just have way too much personal information online yeah that's right yeah that's what facebook was set up for the dumb facers as uh zugarberg like to call them yeah the real octo spook the teachers union is composed of a majority of nutters shutting down the teachers union be a step in the right direction well you get rid of schools you get rid of the teacher's union.

Yeah, that's right. You take it out in one fell swoop. Rabbit Shepherd. The state of our schools is a symptom of the sin our society is involved with. Yes. Yes. Society gets more depraved. The schools automatically get more depraved.

Christian Costucial Conservatives. And it's also the other way around that the state of the schools is a big factor in driving the state of society. Yeah. It's a circular feedback loop. Christian Constitucial Conservative to defund the schools, parents must empty the schools. Yes, yes. And that's what he was talking about, how people, once they saw what was happening in the classroom, on a regular basis, they took the kids out. It needs to be

more of that. I'm surprised that there hasn't been more of it, as a matter of fact. Well, we got, I want to thank a Citizen of America, Kaka. Thank you very much for subscribing on Kik. Appreciate that. We're going to take a quick break, folks, and we'll be right back. Oh, You're listening to the David Knight Show. I'm going to be able to be. Thank you. You're listening to the David Knight Show.

Tell Alexa to add the APS radio skill and have access to the best channels anywhere. From country to blues, classic hits to news. APS Radio curates incredibly diverse playlist for you to enjoy. Get details at APSRadio.com. Well, I said earlier in the show we're going to talk about Keystone cops, basically Keystone Cash, and trainees and furries. Well, we're at that point right here. This is a Zero Hedge article.

that is focusing on Discord, the online platform, and how it's going to be taken down. That is not the issue. This is yet another example of how people focus on, let's just say that you got a drone factory that is manufacturing drones and they're being used by a country to fly into, you say Russia or Ukraine or whatever. And they're flying in hundreds of drones all the time. So what are you going to do? You're just going to sit there and you're going to take shots at the drones or are you going to

bomb the factory. You kind of get to the root of the cause, or they're just going to keep manufacturing these things. But they point out that... It's interesting that they're going after Discord. I saw something recently about how the Nepal Revolution thing that they had happening, they actually elected their interim

prime minister through a discord poll. They literally had a vote on Discord that was upheld, and the interim prime minister was elected on discord so they went from total censorship of the internet to having an election on discord um why not look my only brings unity interesting my my only experience of discord was i had uh years ago it was probably about eight years ago and had some guys who were

on discord and uh they wanted me to be on it was a free speech platform and it's when we get It's censored everywhere. And, you know, the messenger is not the issue, folks. You know, you always talk about, you know, don't shoot the messenger. Well, don't shoot the messaging system. How about that? Could we do that? And yet this is what you see.

The conservatives are pushing everywhere. It's like, oh, this is used by the Butler assassin and so forth. Well, probably Gmail was as well. So shoot Gmail. Why don't you? You know, it's not the message. system, the problem is how are people turning into people like this? And that goes back to the schools. So, but that's what this article is saying. Well, it's all about discord. Subpoena discord. Investigate

the founders. They know what they're hiding. Terror cells are being groomed within their platform and they know it. So this whole article is about coming after discord. Hey, Zero Hedge. When are you going to run an article about defunding schools. Would you ever do that? No, you'd never do that. This is going a step beyond, don't shoot the messenger. This is, don't go after the manufacturer of the paper that the messenger had. That's right.

Is discord being used to radicalize youth for violent acts? Well, maybe take a look at the school. But that's what's being put out by Hunter Weiss was the one who tweet that out. And they thought that was worthy to feature in this. idiotic zero-hedge article here. Discord blew up in 2020 as a safe space online community during lockdowns.

And yeah, it was one of the reasons why you're seeing stuff like this. Look, if you're going to have a really free speech platform, guess what? The Nazis and the fascist and the furries and all these people are going to flock in there as well.

That'll always be the case if the speech is free. the communist meanwhile can use the mainstream platform that's right yeah the communists and the and the nationalists are all fine using the mainstream platforms Stephen Crowder posted new images from the Utah Sheriff's Office internal documents and this is why I would say you know this is one of the best arguments I would say although not proof of any conspiracy but when you start seeing stuff being filtered through Stephen Crowder I'd say be very careful about that as so-called evidence why is this guy

Getting a direct line from the sheriff's office of all people. Stephen Crowder? Seriously? He's an influencer. He's a nudger. Why are they feeding him information? Translating the shooter's bullet casings, this was a radical left, Antifa adjacent creep,

who, like the Minnesota shooter, wrote political messages on his weapons. Lingo is that of an entirely online left-wing gamer. Is that correct? From what I've seen, yeah, basically, it's all kind of just, internet memes and things. Except the thing is, they're going to come after gamers now, when most of the gamers are right-wing. Truly the most oppressed race.

Yeah, but most of them are right-wing, aren't they? They're not left-wing. What would you say? It's fairly even split. A lot of them are right-wing. I would say legitimately that it's disproportionately right-wing amongst game players, but disproportionately left-wing amongst developers

and the game press, which gives it a skewed thing. But, yeah, I think that it is more right-wing among players. Sorry to interrupt. So it kind of is a mirror of society in general, right? Yeah. People are conservative, but the people who have taken over the institutions are liberal. That's what leads to the yearly failure of many, many games, where they include all kinds of left-wing nonsense,

and then they crash and burn in terms of sales. But they still make money because of Black Rock, Vanguard, State Street, all that. Mm-hmm. Yeah, they'll keep funding that. And they'll only fund that. Well, Cash Patel is coming in for a lot of criticism from conservatives. They saw that he was eating at a very luxurious New York City restaurant during the Manhunt, I guess, pausing to tweet false information. Well, he was just adhering to the old adage, you know, an FBI investigates on its stomach. Yeah, that's right.

This is one of New York's most exclusive restaurants that he was at. Rao, Rao, R-A-O, is that Rao? I think it's Rio. Rao, Italian restaurant. And this is a restaurant that has a storied history. It was a favorite, I think, of, it's been there for a very long time since the late 1800s. It was a favorite of many people in the FBI, also of gangsters, and also of actors who play

gangsters. Robert De Niro, Al Pacino. These people have had long-standing seats. It's a very small restaurant, and many times you don't get in unless you know the guy that runs the place. John Gotti, Lucky Luciano. Frank Pellegrino owned the restaurant from 1994 until his death in 2017, known for his role on the Sopranos, where he played an FBI chief. So, of course, I want the real FBI chief to come eat there at the diner. The Washington Post and even many people on the right said this highlighted Patel's inexperience and his lack of knowledge about how the Bureau operates. They claim that morale in the Bureau is low and that Patel is crumbling under pressure.

Well, he's got no way to blame but himself, quite frankly. Cash Patel's false start on Charlie Kirk Killer draws scrutiny. But Fox News says, but the FBI nabbed the suspect in the end. No, they didn't. He was turned in by his father, by his roommate. and others. That's, you know, they didn't nab anybody. They had the person turned in by the people who knew them.

And that only happened. All they had to do was to release the footage. And, you know, they set on the footage for a very long time. He performed terribly in the last few days, said Christopher Rufo on social media, adding that he'd been talking with conservative leaders who are questioning the FBI's leadership structure. Well, he was picked because, because he was an influencer. He was picked because this is a theatrical administration,

the Trump administration. Deputy director, Dan Bonino. It's a pageant. Yes, a pageant. Dan Bonino, you know, it's kind of interesting that Dan Bonino hasn't been seen for a while. Ever since the Epstein thing, we were just sitting there. Yeah.

And he criticized that, and he left for a couple of days. Trump doesn't want to get him out because he's a big influencer. That's why he was put in as deputy director. But what Trump did was he put in Andrew Bailey as co-deady director. There's never been a co-deady director before. This is unprecedented. But again, we have precedent Trump who's setting this. I think he's just got the guy, I think he's got Andrew Bailey there doing the stuff.

And if after enough time has gone by, he might just cut Bongino loose. But he doesn't want to do it right now. It looked bad if he got rid of Bongino after Bongino criticized. Trump's cover-up of the Epstein files. But I think he's a dead man walking as far as his job goes there. Kirk's killing put a spotlight on Patel's and Bongino's apparent fixation on social media. Yeah, because they're influencers. They're nudgers.

One retired FBI agent who worked the Bureau for two decades said Patel's premature post seemed reckless and too quick to the draw. But the retired agent also said he viewed it as a a problem that went beyond Patel. He said, it's becoming a popularity contest. It's not necessarily something that's new either because Jagger Hoover was big about leveraging the press to make the FBI look good.

He was the one who backed that program with Ephraim Zemblis Jr., the FBI. I mean, he was notorious for that. That tradition in the Bureau has continued, but now it's sort of like that on steroids. It's pretty amazing when you think of the self-promotion being far worse than it was under Jagger Hoover. Now, the FBI search for Charlie Kurt's killer went off the rails from reason. They said the alleged shooter was turned in by his family and roommates.

Sorry, Fox. Got that wrong. While the surveillance state remained clueless. Now, that's kind of a hopeful thing. They're saying with all the cameras and all the surveillance that they have on all of us, they couldn't find this guy. They had to wait for him to be turned in by friends and family. So there is some hope, I guess.

Thankfully, they're all massively incompetent. Yeah. Without those tips. The plot cameras are only good for spying on the civilians, not actually catching criminals. Without the tips from the friends and family, it's hard to know how long the Manhattan would have gone on. The night before, authorities had signaled that they were completely stumped.

As a matter of fact, I mentioned that to Karen. They said, they made a statement, said, well, we have pictures. and video of the guy on the roof, but we're not going to release that unless we hit the wall with our investigation or something, that effect. And then when they released it, I said, well, that's it. They hit the wall.

They're desperate. Help us. We don't know what we're looking for. Officials pleaded with the public for information based on a few grainy surveillance stills on Thursday night. And Utah's public safety commissioner, Bo Mason told NBC News authorities, quote, had no idea, unquote, where the shooter was.

Patel had caused major confusion by implying on social media that the FBI had caught the shooter, only to announce that the, quote, subject instead of suspect, right, had been released after interrogation. I thought that was unusual, you know, we talked about, we released the subject instead of the suspect. This guy is not quite there even on the lingo. That man was completely innocent, but suffered a flood of threats after his name and photo were publicized. Adding to the confusion, police also were. film distorting a local elderly gadfly. I guess that's the guy that had his pants

around his ankle that was screaming and, you know, crazy stuff. I mean, it looked like he was a co-conspirator, didn't it? There's a lot of crazy people on college campuses. Yeah, they call him a gadfly. I guess this is somebody who has shown up to rant at multiple events or something if they call him that. I don't know. I have no information about that, so I'm just speculating here. But the thing is, if he is saying, arrest me, shoot me, I have the right to remain silent and all that right in the wake of a shooting in order to create a distraction for the actual shooter to get away. He doesn't have to be part of the planning of it. He's still clearly an accessory after the fact, if nothing else.

He needs to be arrested and prosecuted. There's a clear video of him doing this, and Cash Patel needs to get on that. Yeah, they'll let this guy go. So, I said, Internet sleuths misidentified him. near Utah at the time. I have no idea. I'm not followed up on that guy. At the very least, the manner of Robinson's arrest throws cold water on the idea that mass spying and heavy-handed police powers are the solution to reducing crimes as reason. And they're right about that. And Rufo, Christopher Rufo, called for, quote, a campaign to disrupt domestic

terror networks and to investigate, infiltrate, and disrupt the violent movements of whatever ideology threatens peace in the United States. Again, This is a dangerous, conservative reactionary response that we're saying from so many people. Let's ramp up the police state. I saw that from, what was the guy's name? He was eventually fired from Fox News and started his own thing. Glenn Beck? No, no, not Glenn Beck.

It was after the Charlie Hebdo shootings in Paris. And he was ranting and saying, everybody's complaining about the police state. I want a bigger police state to protect us from this kind of stuff. I don't remember. He came to Info Wars once, and Alex interviewed him. Anyway, it's clear they do not know the name of the suspect. They don't have a cell phone track. They don't have fingerprints, DNA, or digital footprints, said journalist John Solomon, who is close to Patel. He said, and that's why they're putting up so much personally identifying information up there.

They're trying to get the public to find something that is out there. So there again, they have to rely on informants in the public because their surveillance state didn't deliver the criminal suspect. Robinson seems to be, like many other shooting suspects, a lone wolf who spent too much time on the internet. Again, we're going to blame the internet, blame discord. We're not going to blame the schools

that are grooming kids into transgenderism and furries and the rest of this stuff. And I've got to say, when you look at this guy, he got this president's scholarship, which was like $32,000 for a couple years. And I don't know how much you would still wind up

owing, I don't know whether tuition is, but you'd still wind up with a fortune after four years if you only got $32,000. But he had a very high GPA, I've seen it reported as a straight A. And I just got to say that if you are a straight A student in high school, it's because you pretty much believe everything the teachers tell you. That was my personal experience. When I was in high school, I really didn't care. I really just kicked back and drifted through with mediocre grades.

It wasn't until I got into engineering that I started making straight A's because I cared about that. I didn't care one whit what the teachers were telling me. I knew it was a bunch of nonsense and things that I didn't need to know. So I didn't apply myself to it. But the people that I saw that were straight A students, boy, they were the, you know, they lived and breathed whatever the teachers were telling them. They took that as gospel truth. An eccentric personality with no criminal record, but with a straight A's in high school, who plays lots of video games, dislikes conservatives,

is a pretty broad profile, one that covers potentially millions of people. But it's the sexual gaslighting and things like that, and I think are really the issue. And so Cash Patel comes out, because this is, I think, not going to age well either. The truth will not be hidden, nor buried, nor classified, says the guy who did all that stuff with the Epstein files.

after saying they're going to release it again i mean you know that truth stays buried yeah so journalist benny johnson and i don't know if he's a journalist or if he's an influencer for the fbi i he said just spoke with top fbii officials who made it very clear they have not ruled out co-conspirators and charlie kirk's assassination that assumption is premature this investigation is just beginning an enormous amount of evidence has been seized both digital and physical says benny johnson The Kirk file is on his desk. Yeah, that's right.

Got that file right on my desk. And you'll all be seeing it really soon. FBI sources assure me that the public will, quote, know everything, unquote, about the dark internet history chats and affiliations of Kirk's left-wing political assassin. That's what I say, you know, when we see some of this stuff coming out, we can evaluate whether or not it's true or whether or not they seem to be playing us. I think it's too soon to evaluate any of this stuff just yet. We're going to need to have some more information. we have everything we have focused on the radicalization element so they're looking at the school

i don't know but they'll blame discord and the internet and everything but not the school we must know exactly who radicalize this degenerate i can't even imagine can you it's a real mystery there's a rash of this going around but no one can figure out where it's coming from it's like you got a mass stabbing and you've got some guy holding a bloody knife screaming al-hoogbar and they don't understand his motive or what he did that this for. In the weeks before Charlie Kirk's assassination, multiple cars with out-of-state plates were

seen coming and going from the killer's downhouse according to neighbors. One neighbor said this did not give off a good vibe. Conservative commentator Matt Walsh reposted a message he broadcast two weeks ago, we indicated now is precisely the moment in which trans militants are the

most dangerous. They've lost. The game is over. They're now more desperate than ever. More full of hatred and anger than ever. They're going down, but they'll take as many sane, normal people with them as they can. It's going to get worse from here. Be on guard. Look, all this stuff is true. But again, Matt's not going to tell you to end public schooling. And you should be careful. You know, you should understand, as Elon Musk said, when he was speaking this weekend, to the people

at the London protest, he told Charlie Robinson, and then you see how much violence there's on the left. with our friend Charlie Cook getting murdered in cold blood this week and people on the left celebrating it openly the left is the party of murder and celebrating murder

I mean let let that sink in for a minute that's who we're dealing with here that is who we're dealing with yeah but we're also dealing with schools if you remember during um the clinton administration when it came to homosexuality they said well let's go with don't ask don't tell don't make an issue out of it and we won't make an issue out of it but now we've gone from don't ask don't tell to hey don't tell your parents but we're going to change your gender that's what's going on

and that's what's going on in all these uh democrat states uh there's no question that we're clearly facing asymmetric civil warfare, said Jack Posobiot. This is the guy who was fearmongering at the Canadian border. Jack Bosobiot went directly from the intelligence services straight into being an influencer. And remember he was walking around when Trump was saying, we've got to have terrorists against Canada because all this fentanyl is coming across the border. And Jack Posobiat goes up with a phone and says, look at this. It's a small town, you know, on the border.

There's no fences, no good. guard stations, you know, no, no, uh, police dogs, all the rest of stuff. Do you really want to have that at the Canadian U.S. border? I mean, it's pure fearmongering in order to support Trump's lives because there isn't any lie that Trump tells that people like Jack Bassoviet and other influencers like that won't double down and tell you as a truth, no matter how absurd, you know, like the fentanyl was all coming from Canada, that type of thing. A man identified as 19-year-old Ryder Corral.

That's an interesting name. Ryder Corral. Sounds like a rodeo guy. Yeah, it does. Allegedly vandalized the memorial for Kirk outside at Turning Point USA headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona.

The man who was just arrested for vandalizing Charlie Kirk's memorial at TPUSA was wearing the same shirt as Kirk's assassin. And Nick Sorthor said, the FBI should be tracking

each and every person whoever bought this shirt. Yeah, there we go. it's the shirt it's the shirt it's the put it on you immediately just become violent yeah out of the abundance of the heart the mouth that speaks or the body wears the shirt i can play the video might see the shirt whispering to them like green goblin mask too uh and so then erika kirk shared footage on social media showing her saying a final goodbye to her husband charlie as he lies in his open coffin, which I thought was really kind of strange. I mean, you know, since when have people

done that, you know, again, this is about influencing, you know, and marketing his death in a sense. Seriously, usually people want privacy about that type of thing instead of setting up photo ops and tweeting it out. That's the thing that I find so creepy about all this influencer culture and why I have no use for people who identify themselves as influencers. Tyler Robinson lived with transgender partners, says the New York Post. Singular, singular. The guy he was living with was in the process of transitioning, and he was, these guys were into being furries as well.

A family member who asked not to be identified said Lance Twiggs was the black sheep of their St. George, Utah family, but declined to speculate on a romantic relationship between the two men. But others said that it was romantic. You grew up in a largely, the shooter grew up in a largely conservative Mormon family. Robinson was not registered with either major political party and appeared to become infatuated by the far left in recent years. I wonder why, according to authorities. It's very clear to us and to the investigators that this was a person who was deeply indoctrinated with leftist ideologies. I wonder where he got that idea. Where did they deeply

indoctrinate him? It's the thing that must not be said. Government school. That's where they deeply indoctrinate him. A former co-worker from Wild Electric told the post-Saturday that Robinson once posted about his marksmanship and having hit a 450-yard shot. So this kind of stuff was being put out by the left saying, look, he checks all the boxes of conservatives. It's family are Republican and blah, blah, blah, and conservative. And, you know, he plays with guns. And so, you know, but now we're the ones being blamed with this. Well, he flipped.

The question is, how did he get flipped? Who flipped him? I think we know. So they say he moved out when he was 17. So he got flipped in high school, not in college. And then again, this article from the New York Post goes back to Discord again. Discord said in a statement Friday, There was no evidence that he planned the incident or promoted violence on Discord.

The messages referenced in recent reporting do not appear to be Discord messages, they said. These are communications between the suspect's roommate and a friend after the shooting where the roommate was recounting the contents of a note the suspect had left elsewhere. Again, if they had communicated on an email server, should that server be shut down? That's the argument that they're trying to use for Discord. You know, maybe it's okay if you use Gmail because Gmail probably scans and reports to the FBI any questionable words that they find there. There was a thing like that in the early 1990s when I was with the Libertarians.

There was a program I think it was called echelon. And people leaked it out and said, you know, they got echelon and they're scanning emails because in those days the Internet was simply text, right? it didn't really have the bandwidth to have any pictures or anything like that or memes. And so it was all just text. So the FBI started scanning or the NSA or whoever it was, started scanning for words. And so several of us in the Libertarian Party saw what the words were. So we started passing messages to each other using those words.

So let's like get them busy. You can sift through all that nonsense. That's right. Let's create a lot of chaff for them. Charlie Kirk assassination suspect had a furry fixation, says the New York Post as well. He appeared to have a fixation for furries. While his live-in transgender boyfriend espoused support for Joe Biden

and joked about being mentally ill, according to social media posts that were linked to the pair, Twiggs, as transitioning from male to female, was in a relationship with a 22-year-old Robinson. And he said, I've been getting recommended treatments for schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and a brain tumor recently by my social media advertisements. This meme is perfect.

Thank you. And so, again, somebody's reading as male and figuring out that this guy truly is lunatic, because it is thinking that you're a furry or in the wrong body is truly an example of mental illness, schizophrenia, bipolar, whatever you want to call it. Yeah, the furry community used to be the sort of. sort of whipping boy of the internet. It used to, anytime anyone was out of it as a furry, it was immediately, you know, they were excoriated, they were kicked out, and people made fun of them.

That doesn't happen anymore. And society has gone and downhill since then. We've got to bring that back. We need to bully more furries. Yeah. His posts were rarely political, but they frequently referenced his gender transition as well as being a former Christian. In other words, he didn't like Christ.

He was anti-Christ, because of tranny stuff, folks, is a religion. It is anti-Christ. It is anti-reality. It is anti-sanity. An account on the website, fur affinity.net, which features sexualized images of cartoon animal characters. Oh, but it's okay because it's just cartoons and costumes, right? No, this is grooming people for bestiality. It is.

They've been caught over and over again. I'm not going to go into details. No, yeah. You can figure it out for yourself. uh it's pretty clear said one official now listen to this he says it's pretty clear that robinson's roommate knew a lot and didn't say anything after the killing so they are a person of interest officially this is law enforcement using this guy's preferred pronoun of they this is the police playing the uh pronoun game that's what i'm say it is permeated society in all these different

areas. At least one group, armed queers Salt Lake City, wiped all of its social media in recent days, although it isn't known whether this was in response to the ongoing investigations. I don't know. I'm sure it had nothing to do with it. So this family refuses to deny the transgender motive for the Charlie Kirk assassination. We know exactly what is happening with it. Deeply indoctrinated, says the Wall Street Journal with leftist ideology. Again, where did that happen and who paid for it you and i pay for that kind of stuff at the government schools so um this one guy uh put up he wants to be an influencer as well uh his furry roommate and he said i'm becoming a tic-tock pro one terrible video at a time and evidently he does have some

really terrible videos he shared some videos showing him adding spaghetti to an italian sandwich and microwaving a bottle of mountain dew there you go he's ready to to become an influencer. High quality content, folks. That's right. High quality content. So apartment residents said these guys are loaners and suspicious of me by one 11-year-old who knocked on the door, said, hey, can I do some work for you, odd jobs or something

like that? They said the guy, the shooter, the alleged shooter, kept glancing over his shoulder, looking back in the apartment like he was worried something was going to be seen. So who knows what's going on with this stuff. third roommate said that the third roommate was there but was male and did not appear to be trans said a neighbor but that guy moved out a year ago and they said the same thing about this guy twigs I said it didn't appear to be transgender I guess he wasn't engaging in dress up outside of the apartment or something but this is where they are and again they keep saying well he was radicalized

but they don't ever want to talk about how, where he was radicalized, and we all know this is the dog that did not bark, or maybe we should say the furry that did not bark. I don't know, we've got some comments here. Yes, we do. If you're able to scroll those up, Lance, stolen Tesla papers, who benefits from Kirk's death? There's quite a few different people that benefit from Kirk's death.

Well, everybody is using it for their own benefit. They're using the virtue signal. using it to get attention, to do a lot of different motivations that are there. Yeah, it's the problem. There are too many motivations, and even people that didn't have a motivation before are not going to let a crisis like this go to waste. This will be used to push whatever agendas they can. Stahl says, L.O.L.

Hassan owns a multi-million dollar house. He's a fraud. Also, Hassan's dad is a Turkish oligarch. Hassan has never known struggle. He's a complete champagne socialist. He completely, he'll say things like eat the rich unironically when he is the rich. He has. Well, of course, that's what we saw in Nepal.

One of the grievances that people had on the Internet was the fact that they saw these Nepo babies of the Marxist leaders. And again, the ruling party was the Marxist-Leninist unified party. So they take the two branches of communism and unify them. and their kids are posting up all these social media things, showing this lavish lifestyle of them as jet setters around Europe and everything. It's the exact same sort of deal with Hassan. Yeah, there's a famous picture where he's in like someone said it was all like designer clothes

and standing in front of a luxury car and all that, and he's wearing a t-shirt that says eat the rich. And I think that's what you were referencing before. It's like this kid who was born, you know, to these oligarch. families is going to be the face of socialism, of course, as it always is, because that's what profits the wealthy and rich the most. That's how it always goes. Oh, yeah, Hassan Piker, everyone, in case you didn't know who he was, now you do, and I apologize. The real octo spook, you never own your home. The government is constantly lodging debt against it. Yeah, as long as there is

a property tax, you cannot own your own house. You are just permanently renting it. Defy tyrant 1776. David Knight, can you please talk about the Brian Kilmead comments about involuntarily euthanizing mentally ill homeless people? I'm not seeing that. Usually if I say Brian Kilmead's name, I just kind of flip past it. Nothing of value here. That's crazy. Yeah, as a matter of fact, that's one of the ways that I'm typically a nighttime person. I got into doing this morning show simply because I was going to be up against Brian Kilmeen. I thought he was absolutely the dumbest commentator on the radio at the time. It said, I joked, it's like, I'll listen to him, it's just like Brian Kill Me.

But now he's actually talking about euthanizing people. So I guess it should be known as Brian Kill Me. Just when you thought Brian Kilmead couldn't get any dumber. He one-ups himself, truly, a testament to his art. NMAX, they literally trained children not to listen to parents in Dare. They taught them techniques on how to avert the domination of drug dealers, but in reality it was used to control the parents and ignore them. Also says, I got a DARE manual, and they had many points whereby they trained the children's psychological tricks to dominate the parents disguised as how to avoid drug dealers.

Oh, yeah. I was never a fan of DARE. And we were homeschooled, so we never had to deal with it. M-O-E studios is at MoA Studios. I only drank when I was a teen because the government has laws against it. You can't tell me what to do. I only took off my seatbelt when the government put laws. mandating the seatbelts, yeah, I agree with, I understand that. Tyler Robinson used the

username Kraften 24-7 on payments on the app VIMO. So these guys who are furries and trainees, they're loud on VIMO, not me. That's kind of the way that the corporate technocracy is going to operate, the corporate technocracy that Clay Higgins is bragging that he's going to lean into and that he has so much influence with. And again, we got people talking about how he was a loner in high school. He left his family when he was 17 years old and so forth. It was high school that radicalized him. We would all say that it was colleges.

And certainly colleges will do that, as you guys talked about it. You got many friends who didn't get radicalized until they went to college because they were being homeschooled through high school. But the earlier you do it, the easier it is to brainwash somebody. Yeah. It's also important to realize that the schools, everything has accelerated. The schools have gotten orders of magnitude worse than even just, you know, when we were in high school. I have friends that went to public schools and private schools, and they were, you know, they were a little bit more liberal than the people who I knew were homeschooled, but it wasn't this insanity that we see today.

They have gotten so much worse over the last 10 to 15 years that, you know, before they used to really only start hammering you at the true Marxist commentary in college, they have shuffled that down the line. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. And, you know, they're working their way back to elementary school, middle school. They want it in kindergarten. As soon as they can get the kids, they want to start hitting them with Marxist ideology. I went to a government school. Radicalize me in the opposite direction. Because I had a good foundation at home. My parents didn't leave it to the school to instill moral values in me or political values, for that matter. And so, when I heard the exact opposite, and it wasn't nearly the intensity, as you point out right now

that it is today, but when I heard them speaking the exact opposite of what my parents had said, and it's like, I know that's not true. And so it pushed me really hard in the other direction, I've got to say. Wait a minute. You guys are lying to me. What are they trying to do here? I think I know. Okay, we're going to take a quick break, folks, and we'll be right back. So, I'm going to be able to be. I'm going to be. In a world of deceit. In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolution.

Act. You're listening to the David Knight Show. Well, we were told that we are in a spiritual war, that we're not wrestling with flesh and blood, and that we don't use the weapons of this world. Our weapons are mighty. And the world even thinks that it's kind of a compliment in the sense. If we look at it, it's when they start banning prayer everywhere, as I mentioned at the beginning of the show, Australia now is banning, praying for transgender people to reject gender ideology and understand reality. And that frightens the Australian state, and they push back against that in the same way that the UK does.

They don't want somebody standing, praying silently. She wasn't doing anything. She didn't have her hands up in the air. There was nothing about her body language. And, of course, she wasn't saying anything. She's just standing there. And they said, you're praying, aren't you? Well, I'm not going to lie to you yet.

I was praying. Okay, you're under arrest. And so the same thing is going to happen in New South Wales, evidently. New South Wales, if you remember, was where the COVID tyrant Gladys Bergiclian health court. And so now they've got the next step here. They've got. And when I look at this, I think about it and I think, you know, they've got more faith and prayer than many professing Christians that I've met. The law is being, the law for being subjective and potentially leading to the persecution of individuals and organizations that adhere to biblical principles on homosexuality and transgenderism. And Australia is now once again trying to return to its roots as a prison colony, says the comment from PJ Media, as the state of New South Wales reaffirmed that it is illegal to pray that transgender people will accept the sexes that God gave them. that they would come to their senses.

Formerly Christian Western democracies like Scotland and Australia are actually enacting laws against prayer. Australia's New South Wales enacted a law earlier this year that the state's Attorney General, Michael Daly, just affirmed, does in fact ban not only praying with, but praying for people to recover from the mental illness of gender dysphoria. He also compared prayer to assault in trying to justify the government regulation. absolutely it is an assault in the spiritual war they can't chain your prayers folks

and what are they going to do when they lock you up and you're praying in jail you get put in double jail you're on double secret probation like animal house you can pray with a person he said sorry this is let's see this is an Australian Christian outlet said you can pray with a person and do all sorts of things, said the Attorney General. But if you pray in a way that it becomes a sustained practice directed to a person with a view of changing their sexual orientation or gender, that's against the law. The question is, how is this determined?

It is concerning enough that a person could be arrested for publicly praying with a gender dysphoric individual to accept the body that God gave him. Well, they need to accept Christ. as Lord and Savior and then God will make it clear to them amongst other things but anyway So these people can be gaslit into wanting to mutilate and change their bodies but you can't pray for them to change their mind

That's right You can't you can only talk to them in one direction right You can't go it's a it's mandated that you talk them into insanity But if you try to talk them into sanity That is prohibited There's a joke from Sam Hyde's 2070 paris paradigm shift where he says by 2070 state mandated homosexuality and we get closer to that every single day we're so close the joke is kind of not funny anymore that's right it's too close to real

this would seem to be much more subjective and vague standard than that in other words like if you had a group of people and you know they got around uh corporal clinger and they they prayed for him to come to his senses that God would reveal that to them after they'd been damaged. They would say, oh, okay, can't have that. Instead, this is very subjective. Could New South Wales authorities use this law as an excuse to arrest and persecute individuals, churches, or organizations that are known to adhere to biblical principles

on homosexuality and transgenderism? Who is to say what constitutes It's a, quote, sustained practice, unquote, of praying about transgenderism. Yeah, when he talks about it being a sustained practice, it really does look like he's going to target churches and organizations that talk about homosexuality and sodomy and this insanity that's going out there and saying, that's a sustained practice. And I know that you people are praying for this kind of stuff. That looks like that is exactly what is underneath this.

One person who was asking him questions said, with a follow-up, with respect, isn't prayer commonly about change of all sorts of things? Most people when they pray are specifically submitting petitions to God for themselves and for other people. Indeed, James 516 explicitly commands Christians to pray for one another. And then the government official daily pontificated said, well, if you're sitting down praying to someone to strengthen them and guide them and all those pastoral considerations, that's fine. But if you're sitting down to pray the gay away, that is not. As PJ Media says, Daley is a petty tyrant and a fool, just like Clay Higgins. Well, if it's unlawful prayer, he said, then it is not lawful prayer.

In other words, it was so simple. It's whatever I say it is, right? It's kind of like Richard Nixon's. like, well, the president does it. It's not illegal. It's okay to pray for God to guide them. Just don't guide them that way. You can only pray that you guide them in the way that the state wants. Don't guide them to reality. Don't guide them to what is good for them. Government can put limits on the behavior of its citizens, regardless of what that behavior is, and they do it in a myriad of ways every single day, he said. Whether it's prayer or driving or dealing in drugs or assaulting other people. In other words,

I can put any kind of limits on you that I wish. And even though we have a Bill of Rights here in the United States, our government still thinks the same way as well. Daily is simply stating what leftists across the world believe, which is that prayer is dangerous. And they are right. It is very dangerous. It is very dangerous to them.

What they're really recognizing is that prayer is powerful, and it can stop people from falling for leftist's lies. That is why, tyrants fear even more than drugs or assault. It is the spiritual weapon that can destroy the ideology. And folks, I just mentioned this because when Clay Higgins and the idiots like him get their anti-free speech stuff out there and start labeling and punishing people for what they perceive to be hate, this is what it's going to look like. It's going to be weaponized against Christians who support this insanity in the GOP right now.

It's going to be weaponized against us as Christians. There's no doubt about it. Here's another example. I've covered this many times. This is a woman who was a former minister in Finland's government. She was a former member of parliament there. And because somebody put on social media that the church that she attended was going to be having some kind of a pride event.

she said, why are we doing this? And she quoted a Bible scripture about that. And because of that, they have been coming after her again and again and again. She's already won twice in lower courts. And the prosecutor keeps coming back. He's relentless. He's like the guy that was chasing the one-armed man in the fugitive, right? Lieutenant Gerard is still after her.

So for the one tweet instead of a one-armed killer that's there, which labeled the charges, baseless included a Bible verse in a rare public gesture of support. That was the U.S. State Department saying that. The U.S. State Department, which is now saying that if they disagree with you, they're going to do these same kind of punishments. And the State Department will eventually disagree with Christians, just as it has under the Biden administration.

Finland's Supreme Court prepares to hear a case widely regarded as a test of whether expressing religious beliefs can be treated as a criminal act. and a democratic nation. Well, we know that it can, and it will be. I mean, just take a look at how the Biden administration weaponized the face act around abortion clinics. Was that really any different in nature than what was happening in the UK when they were arresting the woman who was praying silently? We saw people attack, SWAT teamed because they were outside of the magic range that was declared in the FACE Act, and they are perfectly capable of all kinds of religious oppression here in the United

States as well. The case against the former Finnish MP accuses her of hate speech because she posted a Bible verse. Two courts have unanimously found that the case is baseless, but this person is relentless and keeps coming after her, the prosecutors. They've accused her of agitation against a minority group. based on her 2019 tweet, quoting the Bible. And so they said, despite being acquitted unanimously by the two lower courts,

now back in court, to the continuing appeal from the Finnish prosecutors. And this is for something that every civilization and religion knew was true, until just a decade ago when I started pushing this training stuff through the schools. She is a medical doctor, a longtime parliamentarian, who served as Finland's interior minister. First charge in 2021 under the section of the Finnish Criminal Code that addresses war crimes and crimes against humanity. And so where are people in the United States turning?

Well, they're turning to the app store and they're turning to artificial intelligence as their religious counselors. This article here from the New York Times is Finding God in the App Store. Sorry, you won't find him there. You know, you might be able to get a Bible app that you can read or something like that. But these people are turning to AI programs to give them spiritual advice. This is a kind of paganism and superstition that has a veneer of science and technology. But it's really nothing more than a Ouija board religion. It really is.

Millions of people are turning to chatbots to confess their darkest secrets and to seek guidance from on high. Maybe they're going to get guidance from below. Is this actually God that I'm talking to? Said one person. These are chatbots and religious apps. Tens of millions of people are confessing to spiritual chatbots their secrets. Actually, what they're doing is they're confessing to government when they do that. Anything you say can and will be used against you, they don't give you that.

disclaimer. And these chat bots are going to file it away somewhere. That's right. They do not have the kind of privacy that you have in a confessional booth of the priest at all either. So they're confessing their petty vanities, their deepest worries, their gluttonous urges, their darkest impulse. Trained on religious texts, the bots are like on-call priests, imams or rabbis, offering comfort and direction at any time. On some platforms, they even purport to channel God. Greetings, my child. The future is in God's merciful hands.

Do you trust his divine plan? Yeah, do you trust your chatbot here? The faith tech industry is becoming powered by chatbots on religious apps that are rocketing to the top of Apple's app store. Bible chat, which is a Christian app, has more than 30 million downloads. Hallow, a Catholic app, beat Netflix, Instagram, and TikTok, for the number one spot in the store at one point last year. In China, people are using Deep Seek to try to decode their fortunes.

The cookies weren't doing a good enough job? The apps are attracting tens of millions of dollars in investment, and people are paying up to $70 a year for subscriptions. Deep Seek and you will not find. That's right. That's good, Lance. Several religious leaders said that they so far supported people using the chatbots as long as they compliment but do not replace the work of the faith communities. Yeah, don't take my job.

There is a whole generation of people who have never been to a church or synagogue, said Rabbi Romaine, a leader within Britain's reformed Jewish movement. Spiritual apps are their way into faith. No, they aren't. As I said before, this is nothing more than a word. Ouija board religion. They're generally affirming. They're generally yes men. We say that all the time, you know, about AI.

It's not going to offer you accountability, and it is not God. Yeah, this is AI delusion as a religion. Yeah, that's right. So, yeah, this is the technocracy getting into religion, and people are more than happy to worship it. This is a tricky theological territory, said one person. because chatbots quote tell us what we want to hear it's not using spiritual discernment it is using data and patterns miss collins said she found more support on the bible chat app than she had at her

church she said she faced judgment when she once shared her health struggles with her congregation people stopped talking to me she said it was horrible well again you know the problem with churches is that it's made up of people like you and me who have faults and people don't you know people will abandon Christ because of the way that other people have acted not thinking about the fact that they themselves are far from perfect and not a reflection of the Lord Jesus Christ either and also that's what we hear about these thoughts in every role is oh they're so accepting of absolutely everything i say they think i'm the best uh they agree with me all the time yeah uh surely having that as your god is going to be a great idea it all feeds

narcissism doesn't it and uh the bible said two thousand years ago at the end people will all become lovers of self and they will attach themselves to technology that loves them even more than they love themselves. So in Texas we have the attorney general, Ken Paxton, who is now going to be running for Senate, has been caught in shocking sex scandal as details of his secret adultery come out. He's been caught in a shocking sex scandal less than two years after cheating on his wife with his mistress. The Daily Mail can exclusively reveal that Ken Paxton was secretly seeing a married Christian influencer behind the backs of both of their partner. See, this is the other thing. The woman that he was involved with was a

influencer, and she was influencing people giving them Christian counseling like this, artificial intelligence, and had a family, had been married for several decades, just like Ken Paxton. Ken Paxton had been impeached and got into a lot of trouble because his first scandal involved somebody who he was accused. of misusing his office and taking bribes while trying to get a job for her. And he denied these things, but it was part of the impeachment. And his wife, who is, I think, a state senator, I think. She's in the Texas legislature.

She stood by him and did not leave him. Then she found out, surprise, surprise, that this guy had some issues with character, just like Trump. You know, when I was growing up, this would have been a deal breaker for conservatives. The first one would have been a deal breaker. But it's not. People in Texas love Kim Paxton because he is joined at the hip with Donald Trump and apparently with other people as well. But anyway, today the conservatives and self-professing Christians don't care about that. They don't see an issue with character.

And look, folks, if somebody will do this, to the person that they have promised to love, honor, and cherish the rest of their life. What do you think they're going to do with the rule of law with the Constitution? That's what I always said about Trump. They will betray you if they will betray their spouse. So he was impeached by the statehouse, accused of misusing his office, and taking bribes to get a job for his lover. And then this comes out to show that, yes, it's going to continue.

The so-called romance between Duhon and Paxton started after the pair of at the Kentucky Derby. Oh, well, you know, a little bit of infidelity to go with your gambling, I suppose. They've since had multiple rendezvous on trips across the country, even overseas, according to insiders. At the time, they were both married. On social media, she bragged about her 27-year marriage to the wealthy owner of 39 car dealerships.

Duhan keeps a very active social media presence discussing the power of prayer, advising others on how to navigate death and other difficult times of their lives. And one friend of his explained it that, well, you know, Ken is not some kind of a sexual predator. He is enamored with her face, he said. He's enamored with her faith. How about that? He likes, he decides that he would have an adulterous affair with her because she's such a strong Christian. He likes that.

I love that in a woman. I love that in adultery, don't you? What do you even say about that? It's just so ridiculous. I know. And the Maga people will go to the bat for him left and right. Yeah, sorry. I was only having an affair because I was so attracted to her loyalty and faithfulness to her husband.

So, yeah, she is a self-described woman of faith, and she has led married retreats for couples. Now she's retreating from her own marriage, I guess. They finalized their divorce three weeks ago. And in an epic tweet, Kim Paxton's wife, Angela, announced the end of their 38-year marriage in July. She said, today, after 38 years of marriage, I filed for divorce on biblical grounds. In light of recent discoveries, I do not believe that it honors God or is loving to myself, my children, or kin to remain in this marriage. Paxton is a staunch ally of Trump, and that gives him the freedom to do whatever he wishes with the Republicans in Texas.

He's hitched his wagon to the Maga movement and become one of the fiercest defenders of the president that he acts exactly like. Last year, he decided to try and unseat Senator John Cornyn, who was another joke. Both Paxton and Cornyn are appealing to conservatives who rank Christianity and values at the top of their priorities. Prior to the Paxton divorce, he was ahead by 16 points. Now, Cornyn has drawn up even with him. So at least some of the people there get it, that he can't be trusted. But, you know, Cornyn can't be trusted either. He's shown that he can't be trusted to follow the law or the Constitution. Cornyn could not resist the opportunity to stick it to

Paxton as news of a tech CEO who was caught cheating on his wife at the Coldplay concert went viral. He said, good news for Ken Paxton, sharing a parody tweet, joking that the band would no longer be showing candid camera shots of their audience. He also launched a new attack ad in July, calling out Paxton for his affair with Laura Olson, who was the one that he got the job for and was part of his impeachment. Olson became a focus when the Attorney General was impeached by both Republicans and Democrats and the Texas House on allegations of corruption. Lone Star members of the House alleged that Paxton used its position as the top law enforcer in the state

to get bribes and donations, just like Trump that Paxton shills for. On one top donor, Nate Paul was singled out as paying for access to the Attorney General's office. Paul pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of making false statements to a financial institution in exchange for other federal charges being dropped. He was fined a million dollars in sentenced to five years supervised release. And so Paxton, you know, beat the impeachment thing, and he is failing up, failing up into the Senate, evidently. Charlie Kirk's martyrdom is drawing people back to Christ, says one,

here. One person said, I'm going to church this Sunday, and I'm telling the pastor that Charlie sent me. As I said before, there are reasons to follow the Lord Jesus Christ and don't have anything to do with Charlie Kirk. But look, if he tells people honestly his experience, and he did, he witnessed quite a bit about his experience, and was also explained to people why he believed there was a God, why the Bible was true, and so forth, that is always a good thing. And God can use that. You know, Paul said when he was criticizing some of the people that were doing some things, he said, some of them are preaching Christ out of jealousy or trying to get gain out of it. He goes, but I just rejoice that Christ is preached because, you know, God can use that.

None of us are perfect vessels. And so whatever we do, whatever the issues are in our lives, God can use that. It does become something of an obstacle when our lives are such an obvious contradiction. and such obvious hypocrisy as they are with some TV evangelists, but still, God can use anyone and anything like that. So I have no doubt that that is happening with people. Do you have some comments, you want to read? Yeah, we've got Star Barkley.

It says I watched Clint Eastwood's movie Richard Jewel last week, and the way he depicted the FBI was perfect. Yeah, wasn't that an excellent film? I recommend that to everybody. Everybody ought to see that film. That's really good. It's important, and I think he got it exactly right. I still haven't seen it, actually.

You haven't? No, I didn't get a chance to watch it. Had you missed that? Yeah. And Max. Trump wants internet censorship calling for Bill Gates to do something. He wants gun control. The man is a fascist.

Only Mal's The Maga agenda fed to him by Cambridge Analytica, not his agenda. Mm-hmm. I agree. Trump is, as we've always said, a New York Democrat. And New York Democrats are socialists. They are all in on all of these things, whether it's gun control, censorship, anything of that nature. They want total authoritarian control

of what you do, what you say, where you go. That's why he is all in on freedom cities. That's why, instead of saying, and looking at a 15-minute city and saying, no, that is abhorrent, that is everything we stand against, he went, what if I put a spin on it? Yeah. What if I call it a freedom city?

Would you like it then? And you know, if he calls it a freedom city, just like with Patriot Act and the Charlie Kirk Act, it's going to be exactly the opposite. It's going to be an enslavement city. That's exactly. what he's trying to create. Well, we're going to take a break, and when we come back,

we're going to talk about World War III and what Trump is doing in Venezuela. World War III and you and me. That's right. Yeah, Mr. Nobel Peace Prize is there. So we'll take a quick break, and we'll be right back, folks. You know, and then. And then, uh,

oh, you know, and Oh, you know. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh.

I'm going to be. analyzing the globalist next move and now the globalist next move Decoding. Propaganda. It's the David Knight Show. Welcome back, folks. We've got IRS machine gun. That's a spooky name. Thank you very much for the tip. We really do appreciate it. It says lunch is on me, gentlemen. Have a great week. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, it's to the point where lunch you eat, it's like 50 bucks. You spend that much easily. Yes. Thank you. Thank you so much, IRS machine gun.

Audi, M.R. Have people moved on from the Epstein cover-up? It seems like no one is talking about that anymore. It's almost as if a series of distractions has occurred. Yeah, it's funny. You know, they didn't even bring that up when they were talking about Cash Patel's nonsense. They didn't even bring up the Epstein stuff with that. Yeah, that's kind of interesting, isn't it? I also think it's partially to do with just the American, Americans have a very short attention span.

There's this continual news cycle, and they're very used to the story changing every single day or multiple times a day, just keeping them focused on any one thing is very, very difficult even when there's not things like the Charlie Kirk shooting happening. Yeah, like up, you know, the talking dog, squirrel. Though, to be fair, there isn't really any breaking news in the Epstein thing. It is something that we shouldn't forget about, but... Yeah, whereas the comedian, I think of him, the O.J. Simpson. Oh, Norm

McDonald. Yeah, where's Norm MacDonald? Still no news on the Epstein documents. I mean, it's been an ongoing thing, right? The worst part was the hypocrisy. Yeah. Operation, let's grab the oil. This is from Chris McIntosh at International Man. He says so with all this

stuff, again, you know, that Trump wants to move on. So he's going to focus on the easy prey. The U.S.'s own backyard. Canada Remember the comments about Governor Trudeau and the political pressure on Mexico? There's been the strong allegiance now with Argentina. The pressure being placed on Brazil, the focus on Panama, the canal being all important, of course,

and all this is due to a north-south pivot. Included all this is Venezuela and their black gold. He said, of course, it's all theater. It's a sideshow masking the real prize, the struggle over Venezuela's vast oil reserves. the largest proven reserves in the world. Why, for example, is Don not blabbing about Costa Rica or Honduras or any other country in the region? By the March of 2020, the U.S. administration placed a $15 million bounty on Maduro's

head through the DEA's Narcotics Rewards Program. They accused Maduro and other Venezuelan officials of narco-terrorism and drug trafficking conspiracy charges. This bounty, totaling over 55. million marked the first time the U.S. had placed such a substantial price on a sitting head of state. The U.S. justified this action by claiming that Maduro's regime had transformed Venezuela into, quote, a criminal enterprise. Well, every Marxist government does that. But this one, they said facilitated drug trafficking throughout the Western Hemisphere. Wait a minute. Doesn't the CIA facilitate

drug trafficking throughout the Western Hemisphere? The entire world, as a matter of fact. Should we have our government overthrown because the CIA created the crack cocaine epidemic so they could have their secret war. No, I guess not. I've got a good comment here from George Boy says Operation Warp Oil. Well, Don is really slick, isn't he? Venezuela's reserves, of course, as I mentioned last week, are bigger than even Saudi Arabia's. Who needs Saudi Arabia?

You can have a petrodollary just with Venezuela there. And I think that's a big part of what's going on, especially when you look at what Trump said. He's telling NATO, hey, you people are still buying Russian oil. I'm not going to help you to do the things that you want to do unless you stop buying Russian oil. I wonder who they're going to get the oil from. Maybe it would be the new standard oil of Trump. Trump oil, there you go. He is a snake oil salesman.

Why not sell the black crude as well? Despite this wealth, Venezuela's oil production has. has plummeted from over 3 million barrels per day in the 1990s to barely 800,000 barrels per day by 2020, largely due to mismanagement corruption international sanctions. Well, mismanagement corruption of a centrally planned economy like Trump wants to make the U.S. So the question is, can he get the oil out of the ground before his central control of the economy trashes America's ability to do that as well? Trump administration's sanctions effectively cut off Venezuela's access to U.S. refineries.

costing the country an estimated $116 billion between 2017 and 2020. There's definitely no love lost there. They're insulting each other in a social media war, but it's more than just personal animosity. It reflects a broader geopolitical competition over energy resources in Latin America. Venezuela's economic collapse has created a power vacuum that has drawn in actors from Russia, China, and Iran, all seeking to challenge U.S. influence in the region.

And this is why it's important. I mean, this is not like when Reagan invaded Grenada. China already has a massive investment in extracting oil there in Venezuela. And even if they didn't, as I said last week, if Trump moves down there, they're going to stand in solidarity with Venezuela against the U.S. And it is going to be a big tripwire. Both Russian and Chinese leaders continue their war of words. The Venezuelan people remain caught in the middle,

suffering from hyperinflation, shortages of basic goods and humanitarian crises that are forced over 7 million Venezuelans to flee. And this is all going to be escalated. Some overpaid intern in D.C. just coined the name for the U.S. military action against Venezuela, calling it Operation Democratic Stability. This is not about stability. This is about creating instability.

It's just like when they talk about having a stable coin, and it's not a coin, and it's not tied to anything that's stable. It's tied to the U.S. dollar. What a cynical, just slap in the face, that is. That's right. Every time they do something, as you point out, just the Patriot Act, a stable coin, democratic stability. As this person says, this isn't war.

This is stagecraft with a budget. It's a pageant. Yeah, it's a pageant. That's right. And it's going to be a bigger tripwire, really, than even the NATO stuff. China Concord Resources Corporation has begun developing two Venezuelan oil fields, planning to invest more than a billion dollars in a project to produce 60,000 barrels per day of crude oil by the end of 2026. The project marks a rare investment by a private Chinese firm in OPEC country.

Now, again, you can put prime. private and air quotes because there is no such thing really as a private Chinese firm. The Chinese Communist Party will always have a seat at the table. Trump wants to be like that. He's put himself a seat at the table of Intel at their board. Beijing has been an ally of Maduro and his predecessors, and his predecessor, late Hugo Chavez, and is currently buying more than 90% of Venezuela's total oil exports. Chinese state oil giant, CNPC, was among the largest investors in Venezuela's oil sector

before the U.S. energy sanctions were first imposed on Venezuela in 2019. China is also a big lender to Venezuela. So the U.S. is on the verge of invading a sovereign country for their oil to save democracy. Imagine that, he says. Actually, this would be a great test. Ask yourself if the U.S. would be invading a country. country that was littered with wind turbines or solar panels. I don't think so. And all this is while Trump is demanding that NATO not buy Russian oil. Boy, if you look at the different pieces here,

yeah, he'll soon have a new resource for them. He's engaged in a hostile takeover. Trump made it clear on Sunday that he's backing off pulling the trigger on new sanctions against Russia and listed things that NATO members would have to do in order for that to happen. This is the guy who, at the same time is pretending that he is the arbiter for peace. It's like, here's what you guys need to do. You need to get serious about going to war with Russia and so forth. All of this nonsense about getting a Nobel Peace Prize, folks, that is simply subliminal suggestions for his base.

And he's implying that he really does want to have peace because he really wants that prize. Nothing could be further from the truth. All NATO countries must stop buying oil from Russia. and in parallel, agree to sweeping tariffs on China, said Trump. He says, I'm ready to do major sanctions on Russia when all NATO nations have agreed and started to do the same thing. And when all NATO nations stop buying oil from Russia, he says,

screams in uppercase. As you know, NATO's commitment to when, all uppercase, has been far less than 100%. And the purchase of Russian oil by some has been shocking, says the guy who is supposedly the peace negotiator. He's cheering them on for war because sanctions and economic boycotts and all the rest of the stuff and blocking energy that people need to get. That is an act of war.

As Gerald Santee pointed out many times, the types of stuff that FDR was doing prior to the outbreak of World War II. China and India are, of course, at this moment, the two biggest importers of Russian oil. But guess who is third? NATO member Turkey And Turkey used to be the 14th largest buyer of Russian crude But they started buying more in 2020 when Russia invaded Ukraine And I think part of it was because Russia was offering discounts And if you pay in gold or in Russian currency

So they went from 14th to now they are third Only China and India buy more oil And that's your NATO ally. for you. But Trump is not about peace. He doesn't want peace in Israel and Gaza. He doesn't want peace in Ukraine and he certainly doesn't want peace in Venezuela. He wants land in Gaza. He wants oil in Venezuela. He wants a peace. Yeah. He wants a piece of all those things. And he wants to be at peace because he wants you focused away from what he is doing. Have a good day. Thank you for joining us.
