Welcome, and thanks for joining me, one and all. I'm Gardner Goldsmith filling in for David. We've got a lot on tap today, July 31st, 2023. Thank you for joining the David Knight Show as I get to fill in today on this beautiful Monday.

I hope you had a great weekend, everyone. We've got a lot in store today. Hours of exploration into current events, freedom, and morality and in the 11 o'clock hour we will be joined by marty goddessfeld who made quite a stir in the united states as he rescued a young woman from medical tyranny and he's continuing to do so Well, quite a beautiful morning here in the palatial estate of the Goldsmith clan, and I hope you're having a great morning or afternoon or evening, wherever you are. Buenos dias, buenos tardes, buenos noches, as I often say on my show on the Liberty Conspiracy. And thanks for joining the David Knight Show. I'm honored and excited

and delighted again to fill in for David as they enjoy their post-wedding excitement with the family. And I hope everything went very, very well. And I was in touch with David and Karen just shortly before the wedding. And everyone was saying that folks were gathering and they were all excited. So that was great. And so I want to wish the best to their family and the best to you. Thank you for joining me. And I'm really excited to be

here today, especially because I get to talk to Marty Gottesfeld and I get to recap stories that I've been looking at this weekend and hear from you. You can watch us. If you head over to the David Knight Show, you can see all of the streams. It's the davidknightshow.com. You can see all the links there. You can also go to Knights of the Storm and they'll show you of if you hit that friends tab, they'll show you the David Knight show over there. You can find my work at MRCTV.org. That's the majority of my work is over there. That's the Media Research Center's television division, television division. I mentioned that before. It sounds like a boy band from Korea. But you can check it out over there and you can find me on Twitter at Guard Goldsmith.

That's at Guard Goldsmith on Twitter. And of course, I've got a sub stack as well. If you want to check that out every Sunday on my sub stack, I release what's called the Sunday News Assembly. And we'll be taking a look at that to check out some of the stories that I've collected. And I always try to add contextual information to many of the stories so that we can get intellectual ammunition and we can take it with us and we can spread it to others. Whether it's the flashpoint story of the day, that might not be the most important thing, but it allows us to see the broader scope of things, the morality, the lessons, the history, the economics, the ethics, the religion. We can talk about it. So let's offer the opportunity also to mention that if you want to find my show, I should bring this up more often, you can check out Liberty Conspiracy Monday through Friday at 6 o'clock. And just because I was hosting David's show,

we got a bunch more people who decided they would be interested and they explored it. They checked it out. And I want to thank you so much. And I want to thank David for giving me the opportunity to be with you like this and share these stories and then get the added benefit later on of seeing some of you joining me over at the Liberty Conspiracy Show. It's Monday through Friday at six o'clock. The home base is Rockfin, but you can also stream the show at Rumble and find the shows after the fact any Monday through Friday or anytime over at Rockfin and Rumble and over at Liberty Conspiracy on YouTube. We do post some videos there, but we don't stream live because I'm afraid that YouTube's censoriousness would boot us. Yes, indeed.

They would give us not just the boot, but the boot with the spurs, and it would hurt. They'd be electrified spurs. What's going to be happening today, thanks to power coming into the home, which sometimes was a little iffy over the weekend here in southern New Hampshire, because, of course, the essentially government monopoly Energy Corporation doesn't take care of the trees. So we had some high winds and storms come through and things are flickering, sort of like the attentions of a young woman at a high school dance, flickering and then disappearing for me. That's the way it was. Let's find out what's happening today on the David Knight Show.

Today, July 31st, and I welcome you to August as it approaches. We've got a big story about something very major that's going to be happening in the United States tomorrow, tomorrow, as Fred Rogers might have sung. But unfortunately, we're not going to look forward to this news. We've got to be aware of it. Let's find out what's happening today, however. Well, to coin a phrase from, well, made even more popular, but already coined by Adam Ant, dog eat dog in the Biden clan. I did not discuss the second dog of the White House that is exhibiting some behavioral problems, but we're going to talk about it in conjunction with another story about the Biden clan itself. I wrote a piece on this, which was just released,

actually, by the Media Research Center at MRCTV, was just put out over the past hour. And I have two other pieces that are waiting in the wings at MRCTV. Also, we're going to discuss confirmation of something that we already knew because Joe Biden admitted it when he was with the 101st Airborne Division last year in Poland, U.S. troops are confirmed on the ground in Ukraine. They've got the documents. We'll tell you about it. We'll also offer a reminder. It's about the unquestionable science from the state that was wrong and pernicious and, of course, has led to many lives being lost, many lives being damaged, and still is leading to lives being destroyed. We'll give you the story from Canada, plus the larger story that I was not able to dig into too deeply,

but we did get to mention it towards the end of the program on Friday after a great conversation with Gerald Salente. Oh, and by the way, I want to thank all the folks who sent me messages on the backside of Twitter, positive messages about our conversation with Gerald. I really enjoy speaking with Gerald. That's the second time I'm getting to speak with Gerald. And he's just great. He's just great. And I always love it when he's on with David or on any time on his own program. You can find his channel on YouTube. And he is every week.

He chats with Judge Andrew Napolitano. And boy, their most recent conversation was phenomenal. We'll also talk about talking about judges. We'll talk about the Supreme Court judges today. We're going to discuss this obviously artificial push by the mostly Democrats, maybe a couple of RINO Republicans, but almost uniformly Democrats in the political sphere, in the offices of Washington, D.C., and also in the pop media. I know that's you, Joe Scarborough, and your wonderful wake-up friends. Can I just turn over and go back to bed? I'd rather not wake up with morning Joe. Talking about Supreme Court ethics, and we even get to discuss one of my absolute favorites, Senator Chris Murphy from Connecticut, everybody.

Yes, and thanks to Senator Chris Murphy, your tax money was used to silence me. And perhaps my tax money was used to silence you. Isn't it great we get to do that for each other? Anyway, yes. And then at the 11 o'clock hour, we're going to be talking with our guest, Marty Gottesfeld. I want to welcome everyone to the Rockfin chat. Thank you so much for joining us. Little John, Angry Tiger. Doug is there. And Doug, thank you. Already starting things off with a donation.

Really appreciate it, Doug. I want to remind people that I believe through tomorrow, and I don't want to get this wrong, but I believe through tomorrow, your donations up to $200 a day will be matched by the David Knight viewer for the love of the road. Whether you donate on Rockfin or you donate on Rumble. And remember, since this is the end of the month, we're hoping that we can pump things up, want to pump you up, pump things up for the end of the month for David's gas gauge to be as full or overflowing as possible for the amazing work that David does. And I have to say, you know, taking on a three-hour show like this is one thing. Taking on David Knight's three-hour show is a completely different ballgame because it's not just the information and knowledge and wisdom upon which David can draw.

That is incredible. There are things David does, and you probably notice this in every show, where he creates seamless transitions as if he has written out a book every day.

They're not taking a cut They're not following the government path They're not taking a piece of the action As Star Trek might say Right, Spocko? Right You see, that's a cronk. We'll play some Fizbin later. And by the way, when I worked at Star Trek Voyager, no, we did not busy ourselves at lunch

by playing Fizbin. There are no rules for Fizbin anyway. It's sort of like Calvin Ball. So everybody, let's talk about what's up in the news now and as i often do at liberty conspiracy from six to usually 7 30 but uh most of the time longer we we say that we're going to go till 7 30 but almost every night we go longer than that on rockfin and on rumble if you want to find liberty conspiracy i usually open up each show by going into our news flash and i play the queen flash gordon theme and it's you know very dramatic but it's also sort of funny and so on and so forth but since this is the david knight show i'm doing something different for our news flash i'm showing you the wonders the magic of me and face paint from the movie skippy binderman

wait a minute i know you guys you're from the movie Skippy Binderman. Wait a minute. I know you guys. You're from the News Flash. Yes, that's right, everybody. After that guy. And that is me in the white face paint. It's time for us to talk about our first story, which is we're going to open something

with just something sort of light, but maybe not really light. Because anybody who loves animals knows that there's trouble here. And very rarely do you experience an animal like this who can't get help. So whether I'm applying that to a human or not in the Biden family is up to you. But it's time for us to discuss a little something. And we're going to open with a light theme, the underdog theme. When criminals in this world appear And break the laws that they should fear And fight through all who see or hear The cry goes up both far and near

For underdog Underdog Underdog Underdog Speed of lightning Far and under Hiding all Under

Underdog Yes. Good old underdog. Good old underdog. And sad to say, everybody, the dog we're discussing is not as friendly as underdog. Or perhaps it is, and it's just not being treated right. We just don't know. But let's turn to the people who are always tame and always attenuated, the folks at NPR. Yes, indeed. How much electronic equipment do you think they have to have in there thanks to your tax subsidy to make sure that every voice that comes on to NPR is attenuated,

flat, and of course, a postmodernist pudding? Yeah. They have a show in New Hampshire. They call it the front porch. I mean, it's just it's just smacks of Vermont relocators, Massachusetts people who've come up so they can live in an arts commune. You know, that sort of thing. Welcome to the front porch. None of us is going to get any more excited than this. Play this while you work to get yourself to sleep. Don't do it in the morning or you might drive off the road. Well, here it is, everybody. You can see it. And it's a troubling story. Biden's dog commander has been biting Secret Service agents. And I want to bring this

up. I could have discussed this on Friday, but I just want to bring this up as sort of an intro to a couple of things. First, this offers an opportunity to show how the dynamics of talk radio often works. Because if I were on, say, a broadcast station, right, that was gunning for ratings and things like that, this would probably be a story that my programming director would say, this is going to get a lot of calls. People are going to want to talk about this. What can you make of it? You can get your heart beating for animals. A lot of people love animals, guard. Get on the radio. Get on talking about this dog. Yeah, I love dogs. I love cats. I was taking care of my brother's cats over the weekend, took a lot of pictures with them. They're

great cats, right? They're lynx. They're huge. They're awesome. One of them caught a mouse and brought it to me and I had to bury it in a shallow grave, that little mousy. Under mouse, but not to get ghoulish, but this story, you don't really know much. You can't really do much, but what ends up happening? And I heard this on Boston talk radio this morning. I knew it was going to happen. The host introduced this topic and it turned from, I wonder if the Bidens are mistreating this dog.

I wonder if this is just a dog that is, is one of the very rare German shepherds that is troubled. You know, they sort of been able to bring German shepherds back after they had a lot of behavioral problems. And they started getting people calling in. I take care of dogs. And so it turned into the hour about your dog. And that's great. It allows people to exercise their love of dogs.

And, you know, that maybe there is a place for that. There's a place for that on a pet show, or when you invite someone, sometimes people get advertisers, they get advertisers from vets and so on. They make deals where they'll bring the vet on, or they just do it because they love animals. So they'll have an hour each week where they bring the vet on by phone and people can call in, you know, tell us about your animal and that sort of thing. And that's, that's fun. You know, that's fun and it's enjoyable and you can feel the love that people have for animals. It lets you think about the love you

have for animals and things like that, but it doesn't get you much further than thinking about the government and the dog. His dog is commander and it's, has found himself in the dog house, isn't that quaint, after a series of incidents where he bit Secret Service officers on duty at the White House. Well, in fact, it's worse than that. One of the Secret Service agents was very badly injured to the point where the injury might be permanent. So just to give you that heads up, now this is the second time this has happened. I'm not going to speculate that much about it other than observing what happens in talk radio. That's all I really want to do here. I don't know. I don't, I'm not there. I don't, and you aren't either, you know, and we can offer comments about our favorite animals and

the way to treat dogs and things like that, but where does it get us? What, what sort of long-term knowledge does it give us? Perhaps there is a place in, you know, feeling good and resting from the political things and getting into a story like this, which is more of a human interest story, a dog interest story, really. But all you can do is just, you know, hope for the best for the animal and that it's not destroyed and that people can take care of the dogs. And of course, if you watch any of those videos from the Dodo folks or anything, you can see how many people truly care about dogs and they try to bring them back from bad situations where they've been mistreated and so on. And I'm not going to ascribe any I'm not going to make any accusations about whether or not he's being cared for properly by the Bidens or not. I'm just not going to get into that. But with that stated, it brings us over to the other story about the Biden clan.

And this one is my first story from the MRCTV people. We're going to discuss that one a little more in depth in a little while. I'll give you the headline right now. Biden family finally acknowledges out of wedlock granddaughter. And that is just such a sad thing. That, again, could be a story that at first seems rather superficial. But in fact, it is not. It's actually a much larger story.

And it is very troubling. It's extremely troubling. So we'll get into that one as well very, very soon. But right now, I want to switch over to some much more serious breaking information, everybody. So let's go with our theme. It's time for us to talk about warfare in the United States. Absolutely nothing. What is it good for? Absolutely nothing. Say it again, y'all.

What is it good for? Absolutely nothing. Listen to me. All right, a little Edwin Starr to start us off, everybody. And feel free, if you would like to offer your comments about your speculation about the dog situation in the White House, there are probably a lot of insights that I'm not picking up at all on that topic. And I do care so much about dogs. But I want to talk about the dogs of war right now. And also, I want to talk about the fact that the United States has standing armies all over the planet.

Pentagon authorizes hazard pay.

And maybe some folks hearing this, if they at all mention this on NPR, their minds might just slip right by this because of all the attenuation on the vocals of every NPR station. But I doubt NPR is reporting this. Pentagon authorizes hazard pay for U.S. troops in Ukraine. What? Yeah. Dave DeCamp mentions that it comes from Discord leaks. There are 29 U.S. military personnel in Ukraine, according to these leaks. And you can bet there are thousands more. As of March 2023, the Pentagon has authorized additional

hazard pay for U.S. troops in Ukraine, Military Times reported on Thursday. The news highlights the small U.S. military presence in Ukraine, although it's unclear how many U.S. troops are there. So it confirms that. But I do want to mention, please don't forget that it was about a year ago that Joe Biden made a sudden, amazing, stunning, I'm very virile, but I'm an elderly guy, Joe Biden appearance in Poland. Yes, in Poland, just prior to the opening of Camp Kosciuszko in Poland, one of the many new permanent bases in the United States. You can just check out Poland and the Philippines for some of the brand spanking new kitchenettes

and things like that that they got. I'm sure it must be very exciting. Maybe they got all of their appliances from a game show. I don't know, but the price was right because it came right out of your pocket. So the government guys, they don't care. In fact, it's to their benefit because it helps them give money to the military industrial complex, which then comes back to them and also to think tanks, which push the line of, got to get out there, US presidents got to fight the bad guys. What if the baddies are us?

Are we the baddies? Yeah, it would appear that in Syria and other places in various parts of the world, the United States government is the baddie, sitting on other people's land, overthrowing governments like the Ukrainian government and having soldiers go in there. And Joe Biden, when he went into Poland, was speaking with the 101st Airborne, and he let the cat, to use that animal motif,

out of the bag by talking about how courageous the Ukrainians were, especially the Ukrainians in the Donbass region, you know, the Ukrainians who had been actually, they're mostly ethnically Russian, and they had been slaughtered for about over almost a decade by forces connected with the Ukrainian government that the United States government implanted in 2014, thanks to Victoria Nuland, Jeffrey Pyatt. And by the way, she has family ties to Ukraine. So she has her own family agenda there. And she has risen up to the ranks now to become

Assistant Secretary of State. It's awesome, huh? But anyway, Victoria Nuland and Jeffrey Pyatt replaced the government. And Joe Biden went into Poland for some reason to meet with 101st Airborne and said, we find out, yes, of course they were in Ukraine. Of course they were in Ukraine. They had to have been in Ukraine because in many cases they had to be there to train the Ukrainian soldiers and how to use the weapons that we're buying for them. Isn't that awesome? We'll go back to Dave DiCampinanti with this quick highlight. The news highlights the small U.S. military presence in Ukraine, although it's unclear how many U.S. troops are there. According to one of the Pentagon documents that was leaked on Discord, there was a total of 29 Department of Defense personnel inside Ukraine as of March 2023. You think anybody will ask this at a news conference

with Corinne Jean-Pierre? I doubt it. The number included 14 special operations soldiers. According to the document, there were 97 NATO special operations soldiers in Ukraine at the time. It's unclear what the NATO special operations forces are doing on the ground. Well, I don't know. But it has been pretty much confirmed that the United States was involved in blowing up the bridge in Crimea and, of course, blowing up the pipeline. So, you know, make your pick. Nord Stream, Crimean Bridge, or, yes, permanent bases in places like the Philippines and like Poland. I want to draw your attention to something that I think you might find interesting

as a quick lesson here from the very good folks at the Tenth Amendment Center. As a little capper to this in the newsflash, using tyranny to prevent tyranny, A Warning on Standing Armies. Because many people think that we don't necessarily have the same sort of tyranny that the colonists found so offensive about the quartering of officers, British officers, in colonial America. That was one of the cars on the long train of abuses cited by Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence. But if you think about it, not only are we housing soldiers, we're housing soldiers in the United States and all over the world.

So you might not have them in your house, but you're paying for their housing. And you don't have a say as to what's going to happen there. Here is a little something from TJ Martinell from October 7th, 2021. One of the forgotten values of the American founders was their deeply held opposition to a permanent standing army. This was born of experience.

In late 1763, at the end of the French and Indian War, the British decided to station 10,000 troops for, quote, protection and to keep many of the troops from being out of work and to keep them from being out of work. John Adams wrote disparagingly of the deployment, writing that, quote, revenue is still demanded from America and appropriated to the maintenance of the CIA to all sorts of local police who the profit incentive brought along by the black market. Police found that their opponents in the drug war were becoming more heavily armed, even though they passed the 1968 Gun Control Act. How odd. Criminals had no incentive to follow those pieces of paper. They had a much greater incentive to handle their high profit margins by taking on the dangers of the black market and getting armed.

So, of course, they turned local police into militarized arms, you might say, of the giant leviathan of the federal government. And this isn't hopefully sounding too preachy. Let me change my tone here, because at least this gives us the opportunity to recognize some of the admirable people from that historical era who tried to sound the alarm for us. And we can carry that torch, which is good. By 1770, concerns over the standing armies became reality when the occupying British army resulted in the massacre in Boston. Following the revolution, those apprehensions persisted during debates around the proposed Constitution. As the Virginia Ratifying Convention's version of what became

the Second Amendment made clear, the right to keep and bear arms was to ensure the civilian population was armed and would not require a standing army in order to provide civil order and national defense. And that's a very important point because supposedly the state is us, supposedly. Of course, that is an absolute fraud and an absolute canard because if the state, as I often mention, I'm a Christian anarchist, I'm a voluntarist. The state requires, the only way that a state is a state is if its force is being applied onto people who didn't voluntarily sign on to it. Because if I voluntarily sign on to a protection force, I'm hiring somebody. Right? Or I'm getting a gift from someone and accepting it it isn't a situation where the

government is saying you will take this or we will hurt you looking for reliable it solutions for your business at innovate we are the it solutions people for businesses across ireland from network security to cloud productivity we handle it all. Installing, managing, supporting, and reporting on your entire IT and telecoms environment so you can focus on what really matters, growing your business. Whether it's communications or security, Innovate has you covered.

Visit Innovate today. Innovate, the IT solutions people. That is a mafia. That is a protection racket, which is exactly the definition of the state. All states are protection rackets. And if you don't think so, try not paying for your own protection sometime. There is a tautology in there. And my students understand it very, very quickly. Right. As we all do. Right. When we're sitting here talking about it.

But people seem to say, well, you know, there really isn't any alternative. It's just you have to try to manage that thing. You have to come up with a constitution. You still have to have government. Well, is there an example of this from history? Yes, there are numerous examples from history where they did not force people to pay for their own protection. As I mentioned, look up Brehon Law in ancient Ireland, which lasted over a thousand years. Look up the Goddard system in Viking Age Iceland, and look up the tribal system after the Jews escaped from Pharaoh in Exodus in the Bible. Before they brought on a king, it was decentralized. It was family-oriented. They had the elders act as judges, and they didn't force people to pay to a state in taxation. Well, this is something that unfortunately,

once you get that going and you have that, you have a separation between the ideal, supposedly the ideal, which is that the state is all of us, which means that we can be armed and we are supposed to be the body of the policing force. We are supposed to be the body of the military. But once you get that standing military, that military is for the state. That's the state's armed force, not your armed force. Of course, it's really always the state's armed force if you have a state, but that is the state's armed force. Now you've got an even clearer delineation between the state and you, because now the state is the police. The state is the police force all the time, and you've got a constantly opposing object compared to the people.

It operates, it always operates on its own, but now it's got even greater incentive. So this is extremely important stuff from history. Here's a little something from George Washington. George Washington himself also warned against standing armies during his time as president, saying the country must, quote, avoid the necessity of those overgrown military establishments, which under any form of government are inauspicious to liberty and which are to be regarded as particularly hostile to Republican liberty. Of course, we have to take that with a grain of salt. You can just ask the Western whiskey makers of Western Pennsylvania about what they thought of a standing army because they got

crushed by George Washington and his army of almost 20,000 men that marched on them to collect attacks on whiskey. Five decades before the war for independence, Scottish writer Thomas Gordon published a lengthy essay titled A Discourse on Standing Armies that offers strong intellectual support for the founder's fierce opposition to the concept. Quote, it is certain that liberty is never so much in danger as upon a deliverance from slavery, he wrote. The context of Gordon's work is important. Though the English Protestant Reformation had occurred centuries prior, the country was still dealing with a complicated situation in which the general populace and parliament were Protestant, but much of the royal line adhered to Catholicism.

In the late 1600s, King James II of the Stuart House had been removed from power during the Glorious Revolution when William and Mary came back. Remember that? They were Protestant, with his Protestant daughter Mary co-ruling along with her husband William. When they died without a male heir, the next in line for the throne was James Stuart, a Catholic. To avoid that, German-born George I was given the English throne. And of course, now we know that royal family is connected to George I today. It was given the English throne, instigating Jacobite uprising in Scotland in an effort to put the Stuarts back into power. At the time Gordon's essay was published, there had been three risings, the most recent in 1719. These revolts were used by some as justification for a permanent military to prevent a Catholic force from taking over the country.

However, Gordon wrote that using tyranny to prevent tyranny was counterproductive. Quote, If we are to be governed by armies, it is all one to us, whether they be Protestant or Popish armies. The distinction is ridiculous, like that between a good and bad tyranny. We see, in effect, that it is the power and arms of a country that forms and directs the religion of a country. And I have before shown that true religion cannot subsist where true liberty does not. And that is key.

So a little something from history there, a warning to stand about standing armies. And it is what we have now. We have standing armies and we house those armies, not necessarily in our own homes, but we are forced to house those armies. Try to resist it sometime and you'll find out. Right. We know what the standing armies do. We know what they are. It's really, it's too bad, you know? But listen, let's go on to another quick one. And this is our opportunity to talk about climate change, one and all. A little Buster Poindexter. Feeling hot, hot, hot A hundred people All around me Feeling hot, hot, hot What to do When you're like this

Good old David Johansson of the New York Dolls. He got rid of the glam rock and went a little bit more in the line of Louis Prima with a very, very good album. If you want to see what David Johansson can do as far as his music goes. Of course, he's been in many, many movies. One of his best roles, I think, was in Scrooged with Bill Murray. Absolutely hilarious stuff.

But I want to give you this. And first, we're going to talk. Oh, my goodness. You probably saw this already, my friends. And I didn't cover it on David's show, but for the heck of it, let's make sure that we show you the sad, troubling image of you got it. The dancing nurses now dancing the tick. Talk. Nurs nurses dancing to fight climate change. Exciting, I know. Stay alive.

Stay alive. We all want to stay alive. Stay alive. We all want to stay alive. Man. Now, I just have to say, the first time I saw this, back about a week ago,

yeah, I think it was July 23rd, the first time I saw this back about a week ago, yeah, I think it was, yeah, July 23rd. The first time I saw this, I thought, is this a spoof? Are they making fun of the dancing TikTok nurses and the fact that if they were that busy in the hospitals, there's no way they could ever set up those choreographed dance routines? And of course, we saw people actually going into the hospital wards and the emergency rooms, bringing video cameras in and showing that the narrative that we were being fed about COVID filling up those hospitals was utter garbage, as Richard Butler would say, lyrical drivel article sewer. But this is just so ridiculous and sad. I mean, from the bad singing to the bad dancing. Let me be a critic here. To just the messaging of it is just ridiculous. Of course, we know they're shifting over from the boogeyman, the ultra fake boogeyman of the so-called pandemic.

It was not a pandemic. It was not deadly enough to be a pandemic. There's no way they could have known who actually had the virus because the virus was reconstructed. It was never actually isolated, I believe, according to Koch's postulates. And in addition to that, they then use the PCR test at such high cycle thresholds that they came up with over 95% false positives for quite a while. So that, of course, they could say that the virus was going all around. And as I said, in March of 2009, they lowered the lethality threshold of the word pandemic so that the word pandemic could apply to virtually anything like the common cold. I mean, just unbelievably ridiculous stuff

because they wanted to frighten people so they could gain power. Because of course, as Rahm Emanuel said, his brother being Ezekiel, one of his brothers being Ezekiel Emanuel, the man who was the lead constructor of the death panel, also known as the best practices panel inside Obamacare. You know, the guy who said that he didn't want to

live past 75, the guy who implies that because he is a collectivist, of course, he wants to make sure we all understand that all of our resources are not just something that we can handle ourselves and discover new resources ourselves in a competitive market to offer to people to see if they think that their resources as well. No, they're all collective. They're all a pie that cannot be expanded. And therefore we must cut out parts of it when they get too old and they're not useful anymore. Or if they're too young and they might not make it past a certain age, we need to stop giving them life, giving life, giving care, lifeustaining care, which is exactly what the Liverpool Protocol, otherwise known as the Liverpool Care Pathway, is in the NHS. I've mentioned it before on David's show,

look it up, it's a real thing. They withhold life-sustaining care for terminally ill, elderly, and young patients because they believe, as Rahm Emanuel does, and as Tom Brokaw said on a panel on NBC, Doris Kearns Goodwin was on it nodding her head. Yes, absolutely. That, of course, when she wasn't being accused of and seemingly found to have plagiarized people and then saying, oh, it wasn't me. It was one of my assistants for one of her books. Anyway, she was nodding along as Tom Brokaw said, oh, we have to come to some large scale group decision about our resources and where they'll be best applied. I mean, as Bill Gates says, is it better to apply the resources to that last week of life or month of life for the elderly, terminally ill patient? Or is that money better used applying it to education? You know, you're not supposed to talk about these things

because that's called a death panel. Yeah, that's right. It's called utterly immoral, you fatuous free. Looking for reliable IT solutions for your business?

It's called public health because under public health, the general concept of what is the public, whatever the politics determines is the public,

some group that is never actually definable because it's always individuals, that group will be protected while the individuals can be sacrificed, which is, yes, it's tautological, it's self-defeating because the group is just a word applied to individuals the individuals never gel into each other and that means that every individual within the group within that sphere within that um venn diagram you might say kamala harris is a potential victim to be targeted by the state which then immediately undercuts the very argument that you're protecting the people because every one of them is a potential target that's why there is no such thing as public health. Public health is an immediate negation. There's only individual health. The minute you claim that you're working for public health, it means that

you can target the health of the individuals who supposedly comprise the public. And of course, they're doing this with these nurses. The nurses are claiming that they're working for some vaunted greater good, which evidently excuses lies like the ones pushed out and promoted by Michael Mann and Al Gore and the IPCC and Climategate 1 and 2 with the University of East Anglia and most of the major networks, University of Pennsylvania, University of Virginia, so many others. These are the types of things you've got to sacrifice these things. It's for the greater good, whether it's for the climate change MacGuffin or it's for the so-called pandemic MacGuffin. And wait till you see what we get from the pandemic MacGuffin coming up in just a minute.

Just unbelievable stuff. And really, we can't become acclimated to these things. Every time this happens, we have to, I hope, I hope to engender people and inspire them to remember, don't get acclimated to this. Don't back down. Fight. Fight until your dying breath. Never give up. Ever. Ever, ever, ever. Always fight. Have that invisible clenched fist. Let the energy flow. Do it. You were given this life by God to fight for what is right. So, with that stated, let's turn now, and oh boy, here is a story that will be coming out either later today or tomorrow at MRCTV. I'm actually showing you the back end of MRCTV where my story is sitting before it gets, I wanted to give you the heads up. August 1st, tomorrow, the federal ban on the sale of incandescent light bulbs begins. Now, I wonder if the lighting on the dancing nurses in the hallways of those hospitals really should be incandescent or, you know, if they want to adjust it just for the show, for the show of it, you know, we gotescent or, you know, if they want to adjust it just for the

show, for the show of it, you know, we got to make sure, you know what I'm saying? And maybe, maybe they shouldn't even have lighting because, you know, it's merely entertainment and we don't need that. We, we can decide. Here it is. I wrote this yesterday, and it is going to probably be out today or tomorrow. It wasn't a day-late April Fool joke when we reported at MRCTV that the long-dreaded, already market-damaging ban on the sale of incandes for some time now seemingly been banned in America. Tomorrow, August 1st, the incandescent ban takes effect and Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm's Cheshire Cat grin will continue beaming even as the lights go out. Writes Sarah Higdon for the Postmillennial, quote, the Biden administration's ban on incandescent light bulbs goes into effect on Tuesday, forcing everyone to purchase more expensive,

energy-efficient bulbs such as LED and fluorescents. Critics of the plan say that the light generated by the new bulbs is not as good as the incandescents, which are more akin to sunlight. And I wanted to make sure I brought this particular portion of the story up, even though this isn't published yet, everybody. I can talk about it tomorrow, but I wanted to give you the heads up today so that you're ahead of the ball here. You're ahead of the light bulb. I mentioned something that people with autoimmune syndromes are probably familiar with this, but other people might not be. So just spread the word. Again, this is for the greater good. So, you know, people with lupus have to be sacrificed. Indeed, people suffering

from autoimmune syndromes such as lupus are keenly aware that doctors often recommend they stay away from fluorescent light sources because the interleukin immuno chain reacts to it, making them more ill. Yeah, so right. Of course, the political powers that control us and contort us in increasingly bizarre and increasingly obvious ways do not care about that. They ostensibly care about something they claim is a terrible danger, that being their fictive threat of so-called anthropogenic climate change, something which, as I have been able to explore, is not a threat and about which politically connected forces repeatedly have been shown

to have lied, manipulated data, and even manipulated the collection of data. Quote, according to Lifehacker, incandescent light bulbs cost between $2 and $3, while LEDs run $5 to $7. Now, right here, everybody, I want to just presage this because you'll see that I point out that none of this stuff is important as far as it goes in policy, because there should be no policy on this. You might want to get tips from friends. You might want to find out, hey, what kind of light bulbs are you using? I'd like to save a couple of bucks a month. You know, is it worth the long-term investment? All those things, right?

So they go through some of the information about the bulbs, right? So they notes that they're a better investment even though they're more expensive. Energy savings over time are factored in. Okay, maybe. It should be up to you, right? They claim with widespread usage, it could lead to an annual power savings

of 569 terawatts, which is more than 92,000 megawatt power plants annual output. While 47% of Americans already predominantly use LED bulbs as their choice, critics of the ban say that Americans should still have a choice in what light bulbs they use. According to News Nation Now, at a House subcommittee last week discussing the ban, Representative Brian Fitzpatrick, Republican of Pennsylvania, said sarcastically, quote, I'm happy the Department of Energy is out there making sure we can all save money because we're too dumb to figure out how to do it ourselves.

Well, it's a standing army. You got to have that. You can't protect yourself. But the personal differences of opinion I wrote regarding preferences, those personal differences, and the question of whether LEDs use less or more electricity or are better or worse, a better or worse by over the long run, are not the only matters here. Nor is the core of the matter the evident and insulting hypocrisy of Jennifer Granholm, who not only wants to force us to save electricity by dictating what bulbs we can use, even as she pushes electric vehicles, some made by a corporation she helped to receive Fed subsidies when she was governor of Michigan, and of course, which she later joined as a member of the board and potential stockholder. What is at the core of this is not even the utter lack of any constitutional power for these busybodies and federal thugs to threaten

manufacturers, retailers, and buyers over what kind of dang light bulb they like. It's the moral principle of it, or to be precise, it, the breach of moral principle. Imagine if somehow the feds like Granholm and her Department of Energy commandos were able to get enough politicians and later enough state legislatures to pass a constitutional amendment allowing them to ban bulbs the way foolish people decades ago passed an amendment to federally ban the sale and possession of booze. Would that be moral? Of course not. It would no more comport with the natural law than the Tea Act of the revolutionary era, which mandated that colonials could only buy and ingest tea supplied by the British East India Corporation. All of it falls into the category of what St.

Thomas Aquinas described as lex mala, lex nulla, meaning bad law or statute that does not comport with natural law is not law. And for this, I would just bring up, this is the deepest historical lesson as far as the American tradition goes when it ties to the Declaration of Independence and some of the figures from the revolutionary era. If we go back to Lex Mala, Lex Nala, as you see on the screen, that is something that Thomas Jefferson brought up. The big leap from Thomas Aquinas and the Aristotelian Socrates view of opposition to the state was that you could have peaceful non-compliance, but you couldn't overthrow the state. So, for example, in the Crito, in Plato, in the Republic, no, in the death of Socrates, in the Crito, Socrates has been condemned to die. He's going to drink the hemlock shake.

And his friend Crito comes in and says, why don't you just take off because of course socrates had been teaching people that if the state imposes an immoral law you don't have to comply by that law and so socrates said and this shows you the unfortunate position of socrates socrates said, I can't do that. I can't just flee the death penalty. I can't flee their penalty. So my students, as we're talking about this, you can see the wheels turning, you know, world turning as Fleetwood Mac would say, or wheel in the sky keeps on turning as Journey might say in a very cheesy way although that that's actually a pretty good song by journey um but they're like wait a minute wasn't he already saying and this essentially credo doesn't ask the next question which is the logical question is wait a minute you have been espousing that you can oppose immoral statutes and now you're saying you have

to accept actually he does he did he says now you're saying you have to accept, actually he says, now you're saying you have to accept the dictates of the state for the death penalty, for the penalty? And so Socrates says, yeah, because the state is like a parent. Okay, it provides protection. Last I knew, the state was imposed on us. It didn't give life to us, right?

Other people created the state. And by the way, if you were involved in creation of an entity for your own protection, it's not necessarily the state. Again, the state applies to people, whether they want it or not. That's the definition of the state. If it only applied to the people who wanted it, it would be a contract. You can't have a contract with the state. The state is force. It is aggression. It is imposition. Just ask George Washington. Depends which side he was on, which side of the face he was looking at, the most prominent among them was accepting Alexander Hamilton into his regime. But Socrates says you can't oppose the government punishment. So the question my students say, well, wait a minute, ask the next question, as F. Paul Wilson would say, ask the next question. As F. Paul Wilson would say, ask the next question. If you can oppose an immoral rule from the government, an immoral law, so-called statute, then why can't you impose an immoral punishment? It's never answered. Socrates just gives this

noodley, dumb answer. And that's pretty much the way most of the dialogues are. They're straw man arguments. They're really weak. If you see Plato's supposed dialogues with Socrates, Socrates never faces a real good challenge. They're always these weak challengers. And it's, you know, you sort of go through it like, well, that's not what I would say to Socrates, but you're never given the opportunity in the book to actually see somebody oppose Socrates with any sort of insight or strong defense of individual liberty. It never happens. Now, Aristotle also took the position that you could oppose immoral laws. St. Thomas Aquinas also took the position that you could oppose immoral statutes. You could engage in civil disobedience.

However, it wasn't until John Locke and then 100 years later, Thomas Jefferson, very explicitly, John Locke said, you have a right to revolt. Jefferson took it one step further. And he said, you not only have a right, you have a duty to revolt because Jefferson, although he was not necessarily Christian, he was a deist and believed in a God, perhaps the Christian God. And he said that you were given these rights by God. And if you did not fight for them against the oppression, then you were doing a disservice to God and what he granted you. So that shows you the development over the years from

Lex Mala Lex Nulla with Thomas Aquinas and his Summa Theologica, which is 3,500 pages long. And he didn't even finish it. He died before he finished it. Like, wow, man, I'd hate to be your editor. But Thomas Aquinas expressed lex mala lex nulla, or bad law or statute is no law. And the final lesson I would give, the deepest lesson I would give is all statutes are bad law because the state can only exist by not comporting with natural law. The state can only exist by claiming you must pay the state by engaging in threats and aggression to get your resources to pay for its police force and so-called justice system. The state always is a standing army. It's just sometimes less seen.

So that is one of the big lessons. So that comes from the light bulb story. And with that, I'm going to do one quick divergence. And that allows us actually the opportunity to see a video that I think you might enjoy. And it is over here. I'll play this for you right now. Want to play it for you now? If we can head over to it.

Just to give you a little bit of history on the light bulb. Because this, some people, I was surprised when I did the research, I didn't know. So we'll give you this from news coming tomorrow. Guess what? The most dangerous and deceitful invention in human history is about to ban one of the most beneficial inventions in human history. And one of the twisted people behind this is claiming that her aggression is for your good. Hi, everyone. I'm Gardner Goldsmith for MRCTV.

You know, if one were to create a Venn diagram of A, those people who suspect that Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm's Cheshire Cat grins hide an avaricious thirst to ban more than gas stoves and to impede American consumers and suppliers from getting cheaper petrochemical energy. And B, those who recall the decade-old federal threat to regulate out of existence the incandescent light bulb, well, the two circles would likely nearly overlap. And both... Oh, it looks like it froze up on me. Populations of people, well, they're being proven right, as Granholm and her gang of coercers prepare for the August ban of one of the most important inventions in human history. Remember, it's for your protection against the fictitious boogeyman of anthropogenic

climate change. And of course, as they say, it'll save you money thanks to them deciding for you how you calculate your own savings and personal preferences. Thomas Ketanachi reports on this from Fox News. Quote, the Biden administration is preparing to implement a sweeping nationwide ban on commonly used light bulbs as part of its energy efficiency and climate agenda. The regulations which prohibit retailers from selling incandescent light bulbs were finalized by the Department of Energy, DOE, in April of 2022 and are slated to go into effect on August 1st, 2023. The DOE will begin full enforcement of the ban on that date, but it has already urged retailers to begin transitioning away from the light bulb type,

and in recent months begun issuing warning notices to companies. So, in a hundred years, the United States has gone from the insane, impossible notion of banning alcohol sales to the equally insane and impossible scheme of banning alcohol sales to the equally insane and impossible scheme of banning a lighting source that in 1874, two Canadians created and soon sold to Thomas Edison, who then would be credited with the invention. Well, at least the feds back in the early 1900s, those who attacked the booze makers, sellers and consumers around 1920. Well, at least they had the semi dignity to institute their paternalistic tyranny by passing an amendment to the U.S. Constitution. always looms, ready to be imposed by bureaucratic whim as we, the targets, try to remind the people who already get their paychecks via our work that, heck, you know, we apologize and we appreciate their care, but we'd rather be left alone. Instead, Jennifer Granholm seems to think she's doing us a favor by taking our money to, in turn, take away our freedom to make, sell or buy light bulbs.

Quote, the lighting industry is already embracing more energy efficient products, and this measure will accelerate progress to deliver the best products to American consumers and build a better and brighter future," Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said last year. And here are more delightful details thanks to Fox News' Kat Anachi. Under the rules, incandescent and smaller halogen light bulbs will be prohibited in favor of light-emitting diode or LED alternatives. While U.S. households have increasingly switched to LED light bulbs since 2015, fewer than half of households reported using mostly or exclusively LEDs, according to the most recent results from the Residential Energy Consumption Survey. And that's something that I want to bring up, everybody. You know, Jennifer Granholm feels very comfortable in blithely telling people that her idea will save people. It will accelerate the savings, right? It will

accelerate the savings. Well, anybody who has made a budget is very familiar with the fact that there are certain things that you might choose yourself. And we're going to, let's just remove her assumptive nature, her presumptive nature to say, I can decide for you what's better for you with the purchase of this or that. How about just the schedule of the purchases? Let's say you were also inclined to buy X, Y or Z product, but not yet. She's forcing you to change your plans on that as well. So already you can see the market might be going in that direction. Well, part of the reason the market is going in that direction is because a couple of years ago, the last U.S. made incandescent bulb was made.

They stopped making them in U.S. light bulb making plants because they knew that this rule was coming. So-called rule, which is another euphemism for threat from the mafia in the government. They knew that it was coming, so they were changing over their technology. So already we see a change in the resource flow. And this is one of the things in economics that's so important. Resources have to be recognized by individuals as helping their lives. If we find that something helps our life, we will keep it and we will discard what doesn't help. That's why when I open my class with the students, I show them the simple machines.

And I say, listen, even Paleolithic people used these simple machines. They also, if they, for example, the inclined plane, they might have not overtly invented the inclined plane or the lever, but they would utilize those things if they found that they made life easier for them. Just like monkeys will put little sticks down the ant things. That's a tool so they can pull up the sticks with the ants on them rather than trying to get the ants one by one. If they find that it works, they'll continue to do it. Human beings have the ability to pass that on, to notice that others are doing it,

and something will stick from generation to generation. That's what happens with language. And then that's what happens with division of labor. With division of labor, as Gerald Salenti and I discussed, with division of labor, you actually get paleolithic people allowing the older, sicker people to stay home while the healthy people go out on the hunt and the older people or maybe the pregnant women or whatever, or the small kids will do something that is useful for the family in at the camp or whatever it is. And it's not settled agriculture that brings division of labor. It's human need that brings division of labor and human recognition of the world around them and choices and discovery that one thing is more resourceful than another. But we have to make these decisions ourselves. They can't be for us. And Jennifer Granholm, whether she's right or wrong, has no moral prerogative to do that to us. Whether the consequences actually are helpful or not is irrelevant. The morality of it is the most important thing. But then you can even look at the very fact that economically, if she's making decisions for us,

we don't even know what we value. We can't tell because someone else is forcing us to do these things. So valuation is immediately eliminated if choice is eliminated. So nothing that the government does, anyone can say is actually valuable. And this is a perfect example of it. So tomorrow is the light bulb ban. And I hope people will pay attention to it. One person who is paying attention to it, to round off the hot, hot, hot segment of things here is Nobel prize winning scientist. Yes. Dr. John Clouser. You might have seen this. He spoke up about climate change and guess what? Yes, his opposition to the climate change canard has seen, you got it, he's getting burned. He's not getting burned by the sun. He's not getting burned by

carbon dioxide increasing in the air. No, which is only 37 parts per million. He is getting burned by the climate cult. They're going to sacrifice him like the wicker man. Esteemed physicist, Dr. John Clauser, who holds multiple degrees from the California Institute of Technology and Columbia University, won the Nobel Prize for physics in 2022. As a scientific expert, again, this is sort of appeal to authority. You don't really need much of this stuff. Just give me the evidence and whether or not he has drawn on evidence. Clauser does not believe there is a man-made global warming crisis. This doesn't sit well with left-wing climate activists. Quote, I don't believe there's a climate crisis,

Clauser explained. The world we live in today is filled with misinformation. It is up to each of you to serve as judges, distinguishing truth from falsehood based on accurate observations of phenomena. So they have a little bit of audio on this, very good stuff. And he says, I don't believe there's a climate crisis and so on

and so forth. It's an address that he gave. And what happened? After speaking out against this manufactured crisis, Dr. Clauser was denied his previously approved speaking engagement at the International Monetary Fund. Whoops. You don't want to oppose the kings of ESG. That would be the International Monetary Fund and the Bank of International Settlements. In a statement, the CO2 Coalition said, quote, Nobel laureate for physics in 2022, Dr. John Clauser was to present a seminar on climate models to the IMF on Thursday, and now his talk has been summarily canceled. According to an email he received last evening, the director of the Independent Evaluation Office of the International Monetary Fund, Pablo Moreno, had read the flyer for John's July 25th Zoom talk

and summarily and immediately canceled the talk. Technically, it was postponed, the statement added. Isn't it great to see how interested they are in scientific curiosity and debate? What a shock. Let me know your thoughts, everybody, in the Rockfin chat and the Rumble chat. It's the David Knight Show. Thanks for hanging out, one and all. Great to have you here.

I'm Gardner Goldsmith sitting in for the great David Knight. ༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱༱� You're listening to The David Knight Show. Ah, yes, indeedy, everybody. And now it's time for us to go into what you're seeing on the screen. What is that? Well, it's information that I didn't get to completely discuss on Friday. And since we're talking about the climate change canard, I want to give you some of this information that I think might be valuable to you. So let's talk a little bit about this. What you're seeing there is the headline, the overview, and the people involved, Switzerland, determined in this very large study of 775 people that there was an increased chance of myocarditis of 2.8% for people receiving one booster. That's massive.

And John Campbell, just give you a quick overview. I could play a little bit of the John Campbell video, but it's a few days old. And I did mention it on Liberty Conspiracy Live, but John Campbell was irate about this. He was really, really angry. And I think appropriately so. John Campbell got the jab and he said, I was not given informed consent. Well, of course not. Of course not. Because as Sasha Latipova has reported, the whole approach to the so-called vaccines, which they are not, was that they were done under military so-called emergency use authorization, but as also under the term countermeasure.

That's why they were distributed by the military. And as I mentioned, you might have seen the 60 Minutes report, the interview with that army officer who admitted on 60 Minutes before the FDA even gave their emergency use authorization that they had essentially millions of doses ready to go. The government had already purchased them and, of course, helped fund their development and helped fund the development of the virus, thanks to you. And this is one of those areas where I wish Rand Paul would speak up against all government research because none of it is constitutional. You know, Rand Paul constantly does these sort of half measures. He wants an accounting of the money that's going to

Ukraine. No, you don't need that. You just say it's not supposed to go to Ukraine on a constitutional level. And then the moral level, you don't even have to go all the way to the moral precept of leaving your neighbor alone to become an anarchist. Just conform to the Constitution. Rand, you know, just take a few more steps towards your dad. And I know Rand, I'm friends with Rand, but, you know, Rand should be criticized for that. He's doing a good thing in highlighting the fact that they don't want people to know where the money is going in Ukraine, highlighting the fact, and Rand has mentioned it, that many of the weapons that the U.S. are handing out in Ukraine are ending up on the black market. Gee, what a shock, right? And he's done a very good job in highlighting the fact that it looks like NIAID and EcoHealth Alliance were involved in developing

viral strains in Wuhan, China after the so-called ban on that research was established in the latter part of the Obama administration. And they moved everything from Chapel Hill over to Wuhan, China. But that's really parallel to this. That's a distraction from the core point, which is none of that research should be done in the first place. And I'm sure Rand Paul has encountered David Crockett's 1830 speech called Not Yours to Give, where he mentions that there is nothing in the Constitution for that sort of thing at all. And of course, we have already the Lockean idea that governments

supposedly are only formed to stop people from preying on each other. They're not supposedly formed to stop naturally occurring phenomenon. And perhaps, as I mentioned, the only excuse that they could give to try to do viral research would be if they discovered there were a virus that were created by some foreign entity and released some foreign nation state and released in the United States, but strictly under a constitutional level, they're not supposed to be doing that research beforehand. Only if there is a nation state threat, then're not supposed to be doing that research beforehand. Only if there is a nation state threat, then they would have to declare war against the nation state. Then they would have to engage in the viral research to fight the nation state that possibly

might have, as they might argue, released the virus. Ruiz, Buayan, right? These are all very, very logical syllogisms, right? But they don't want to face them because they think that they present too many impediments to immediate action, to preparation, to being prepared against some potential problem. But if you're going to do that, you're opening a Pandora's box because anything can become arguably under the government's auspices, a potential problem going all the way to the climate MacGuffin. Oh, it's a problem. And then they'll manipulate data and they'll say it's an emergency and it's a crisis, just like Rahm Emanuel said. Right. And I'm glad I made that final point. Never squander, never give up a good crisis, right? Never lose the opportunity to take advantage of a good crisis.

Now, there's a parallel story that I mentioned on Friday in the David Knight Show as well about Massachusetts. So I want to bring this up to you as well. Again, they did a revision study out of the University of California in Berkeley. And they showed that the claims of Boston politicians that they're masking in schools benefited kids. They were utterly baseless. And I'll read you the highlighted points here. These highlights come via the great team at Redacted, which you can watch Monday through Friday, Monday through Thursday live with their newscast on Rumble every afternoon at 4 p.m. Eastern.

It's great stuff. Natalie and Clayton Morris, husband and wife and husband. They said, we failed to find a notable, these are the researchers in Berkeley, we failed to find a notable change in student cases in mask mandate districts compared with the 70 districts in the original study and found a slight increase compared with a statewide control group. Districts that dropped mask mandates first experienced the largest decrease in cases, a 22% drop versus 12% in masked districts. There was a moderate to strong relationship between prior community infection burden and district case rates in spring 2022, with prior immunity alone explaining as much as two-thirds of the variation in case rates. Yeah, actually doing what the folks

at the Great Barrington Declaration had stated. Allow the healthy to acquire natural immunity. And that is how you get an endemic status and you get herd immunity. You can protect the frail by keeping them away first. Then you allow the virus to go in and infect healthy people who acquire natural immunity. You don't rely on unpredictable and unreliable jabs. You don't rely on them getting them at various times and having to get boosters and getting lied to by the state. You just allow people to handle things. Their conclusions, we fail to find any consistent notable negative relationship between school mask mandates and infection rates in the greater Boston area or state of Massachusetts during the 2021-2022 academic year.

Good stuff. All the way from Berkeley. Really something. I'm glad they did that. Sorry to say it had to be a state funded school, but at least somebody spoke out. And of course, just as Mr. Clauser was ready to speak out, I'm sure there are a lot of people who aren't happy with the fact that that news is getting out. And now more attention has been drawn to Mr. Clauser on his climate comments, and they will probably be seen by more people than would have seen them if he actually were allowed to speak at the IMF. The Streisand effect is strong with this one, as Darth Vader might say, to paraphrase the Sith Lord. Now, let's head over here to one final comment about about the pandemic MacGuffin. We've seen this sort of thing before,

and this comes out of Canada, where, yes, in Canada, the group has to be protected. And of course, that means the term public health, which means individuals can be sacrificed, which of course means that everyone comprising the public is in danger of being sacrificed for the sake of the public. What? Excuse me? Yes, it is tautological. Here's the headline from Activist Post. It's very sad.

As unvaxxed man denied organ transplant dies, his wife is asked to donate his organs. Yeah. Here it is, everybody. Mike Campbell reports for Activist Post. After being denied an organ transplant due to his COVID unjabbed status, an Ontario man passed away, but not before healthcare professionals asked if they could harvest his organs. She's a man, oh man, huh? Unbelievable. And again, we hear these things, they pop up. I'm not ever going to get acclimated to this stuff. Continue speaking up if you can, everybody, please. Garnett Harper, 35, died in May 2023

after being diagnosed with stage five kidney disease in February 2022. As reported by independent journalist Monique Leal, two of Harper's brothers were willing to donate their kidneys, but hospitals wouldn't even consider it, given the fact Harper wouldn't reveal his vaccination status to them. Can you believe it? So this originally came from Countersignal. We'll click on over. During Harper's last moments alive, while on life support, his wife, Megan Harper, was told by nurses at the hospital to expect a call from Trillium Gift of Life Network, an organ donation agency. Healthcare professionals are advised to contact Trillium when they believe a dying patient is a suitable candidate. They call you while you're sitting next to your dying loved one and they ask you if they can have his organs,

Harper's wife told Leal. Meanwhile, he wasn't good enough to receive organs from them. I can't describe the feeling. It makes me sick to my stomach, she said. Megan Harper, a mother of five, said that the woman from TGLN had no idea that one of the reasons her husband was on his deathbed was because he was denied an organ transplant because he was unjabbed. Quote, she was surprised and obviously had no idea, Harper said. So just draw your attention to a little personal experience I had when I was in the state of New Hampshire. I've mentioned this on my show, perhaps on David's show. Gene Shaheen, who is a U.S. Senator now from New Hampshire, former teacher, married to Bill Shaheen, very, very prominent lawyer, very close to the Clinton family. In the mid-90s, Gene Sheehan was handed a piece of legislation, perhaps sifted through ALEC, the American Legislative Exchange Council, drawn up by probably people in the Democrat Party in Washington, D.C., as part of its coordinated long-term chess game to bring about higher costs

for health insurance for people to get them clamoring for some government answer. So first, we had Ted Kennedy pushing for this sort of thing to favor HMOs in the 70s, giving tax write-offs to businesses if they would get HMOs. that shifted people into group health insurance rather than getting their own insurance, shifted that to getting health insurance with your business and your employer, and gave a lot more power to those group corporations. Certain corporations like Blue Cross Blue Shield were always favored by the government because they were seen as the so-called issuer of last resort. So with that template laid, I'll give you the story. Her proposal, and you can find this story in my book, Live Free or Die, I go into it in great detail. Her proposal was one of many around the United States at the time after the Clinton healthcare debacle where Hillary Clinton had closed door sessions,

the Clinton administration was fined over $380,000 for having discussions about policy without the American public knowing about it, not having a commentary period. And they tried to impose what was called at that time Clinton cares, this Byzantine, ridiculous, giant, you might say, leviathan, controlling health insurance, completely contrary to the Interstate Commerce Clause, but in fitting with so many of the regulations that they have put on us and others, even before and after Obamacare and through Obamacare. But her Clinton care failed. Their contingency was to draw up this proposal under ALEC, perhaps, and spread it. So in various states, whether it be New Jersey,

Kentucky, New York, Connecticut, and New Hampshire, they proposed essentially the same bill. And the wording was almost exactly the same. So it was a pattern. It was brought up by a template similar to the model state health emergency provisions that were drawn up in the early 2000s. And it was a way to force health insurance companies to take people with pre-existing conditions. And they also included in the legislation what were called community rating slots, where young people and old people in certain age groups, say 20 to 35, 36 to 50, they were put together. And the younger people now would be forced to pay higher rates

to bring down the rates of the older people. So that was called community rating. And the other part of it, as I said, was guaranteed issue where the state legislatures, if they pass this legislation, forced the individual issuers, the issuers of individual insurance companies, the HMOs were separate. They were kept separate from this in most cases. They forced the issuers, the issuers of individual insurance companies, the HMOs were separate. They were kept separate from this in most cases. They forced the issuers of individual health insurance policies to have to accept people with pre-existing conditions. Now, first of all, that's immoral. If you don't like the way somebody is doing their business, start your own dang business.

Right. Don't tell somebody else with government guns behind you. You better do what we say, or you're going to be shut down. If you continue to do what you're doing, you're going to be arrested. If you resist arrest, we have armed agents of the state who will come and take you away. And if you don't want to get taken away and you try to fight, you will be depicted as the aggressor, even though every act on this end has been the act of aggression. And you have been a completely innocent individual who's being messed with. You've got to do what we say. Rather than opening their own insurance companies, that's the way they engaged it. This is what Jeanne Shaheen did when she became a state senator. From going from being a teacher with her husband, very well connected, she became a state senator, proposed this bill.

That on the practical side, beyond the moral side, then inspires young people to wait to get health insurance. And it causes what they call a cost spiral because you get fewer healthy people paying clean money and premiums into that health care health insurance system, which then drives the health insurance companies to have to raise the rates on all the other system, which then drives the health insurance companies to have to raise the rates on all the other people, which then drives other people who are on the margins out of the market as well. So you actually get more people without insurance because they're opting to get the insurance

after they get sick. It only makes sense. If you're a college student, why pay health insurance premiums when you're relatively at a low risk of getting sick? And instead, you can wait. And if you do get sick, then you can get insurance, which is no longer really insurance. It's government mandated subsidized health care. That's what it is. It's no longer insurance. Insurance is a hedge against future liability. You're betting with

your premiums like a stitch in time, that with each of your stitches down the line, you'll get the nine if you get really sick. The insurance companies are betting based on their rates that by having you in there and paying the premiums, your choice, they will be able to make a profit and supply for those people who do make claims. And based on your risk level, you should be charged. If you're a smoking, skydiving hemophiliac, then you should be charged more. Or perhaps you can't even get the insurance

because you're such a high risk. That's not my problem. That's not the problem of the insurance company. That's up to you. And if I wanna voluntarily engage in trying to help you, I can show how much I care for you. But it doesn't show that anybody cares when they make up these, not when they make up, when they promote these sad stories and they blame the insurance companies for not giving people low rate insurance that doesn't match their actual risk profile.

It's ridiculous. Again, if you don't like it, form your own company and see how well you can do. So she imposed this bill. They got it passed. They had a Republican governor named Steve Merrill, who was not a very likable guy. And I say that very, very rarely about people, but he was a squirrely dude, untrustworthy, I should say, maybe likable, but untrustworthy. And he allowed it to pass Republican governor, Steve Merrill. He was a lawyer. He should have known. He should have understood that in addition to all these things, that was a breach of, as I've mentioned, the contract clause, as were all the lockdowns that we saw from all these governors, because I already had a contract with my insurance company. It was supposed to be fulfilled.

No state legislature can come and interfere with it, but they did. Did you find anybody opposing it? No, nobody did. Nobody bothered. But I was writing about it at the time, and some wily conservative Republican in the state legislature in New Hampshire was able to get an amendment attached to Jeanne Shaheen's bill that said, after two years, a study must be conducted on the results of what was called SB 711. That was her bill, SB 711, because they had seen what happened in other states like Kentucky, like New Jersey, like New York, which were ahead of New Hampshire. And lo and behold, just like it happened in Kentucky, where they lost 40% of the people under 35, where rates doubled in two years, I got a copy of the

study. And exactly the same thing happened in New Hampshire during this period in the mid to late 90s, when supposedly the economy was great and young people should have been able to afford their individual health insurance policies. No, they were increasing the numbers of people who are uninsured, not decreasing them. More young people were dropping their policies. And the day her bill became law, oh, rates doubled. They went up 209% in two years. This also happened in Ohio. Anybody who's familiar with LA Banks, the novelist, she passed away from cancer. She was a friend of mine. She was a left-wing person and she actually spoke in favor of Obamacare, talking about how her rates kept going up 30 percent in Ohio after a certain time period. And she couldn't understand why. Well, she didn't look into it. I wish I could have spoken to her because Ohio introduced community rating and guaranteed issue just like they did in New Hampshire. And rates went up. And what happened? Exactly what the leftists had wanted to happen. People

like LA banks turned to the government for the answer. They blamed the insurance companies for the higher rates. They said they were gouging. They said they were doing all these things. And meanwhile, the insurance companies no longer have the clean money going in. They have to raise their rates. They're stuck. And it was because of government intervention, completely contrary to morals and the U.S. Constitution's contract clause. If people know these simple things, they can bring these up. So I brought it up in a news conference when Jean Shaheen at that time had become governor. And she was holding a news conference because of one final facet of this story. The day her bill became law, six of the 10 companies issuing individual insurance in New Hampshire left the state.

Then, of the four that remained, two more dropped we are issuing insurance policies to already sick people and we can't charge them what needs to be charged. We are doing what Blue Cross Blue Shield for years has gotten a massive tax write-off as the so-called issuer of last resort, as a semi-charity have gotten from the state of New Hampshire a massive tax write-off. We want the same tax write-off as Blue Cross Blue Shield because now we also are acting as the issuer of Last Resort. The idea that if you couldn't get health insurance from anybody else, you could turn to Blue Cross Blue Shield if you were already sick, you had a pre-existing condition, and they would accept you. But Blue Cross Blue Shield got a tax break for that. And it was hundreds of millions of dollars. It was a massive amount of money. So New Hampshire declined that. They denied that. Gene Sheehan wouldn't allow it.

You know what they did instead? They took away Blue Cross Blue Shield's tax write-off for being the issuer of last resort. They said, oh no, we won't give you guys the same tax break as Blue Cross Blue Shield. We'll just now take away the Blue Cross Blue Shield tax break. Guess what Blue Cross Blue Shield did? Now, this was group insurance, Blue Cross Blue Shield. Guess what they did? Of course, they said, we're no longer going to take people with preexisting conditions. So we get to a press conference and I'm there.

Two years later, I've got the study. I'm in the governor's office with reporters, Kevin Landrigan from the National Telegraph. John DeSteso probably was there from the union leader. Alicia Preston from a TV station. They're all there. I'm there because I had a press pass. Jeanne Shaheen brings up a family. A husband, a wife, a son. Get this.

And this brings us to what we're talking about here that happened in Ontario. She brings these people up and she talks about how this husband, she has a bill now. It's called the HMO Accountability Act, which will now force HMOs to accept people with preexisting conditions the way her SB 711 mandated the same thing for individual issuers. You see where she's going? She's expanding the tyranny now onto Blue Cross Blue Shield because they said, we're not going to do it anymore. We're making a choice. She said, no, you're not going to have a choice.

You're going to have to take these people. So she brings these people up because their emotion, their color, they're there to act as the emotional trigger for the news story. Of course, you know the news story people are going to cover this. The husband had left his job and went to another company over a summer. And the sad story is that during that interim, his son was diagnosed with a preexisting condition. At his new job, he couldn't get health insurance. It was either he couldn't get health insurance or he couldn't get it at a rate that was affordable.

Either one. So Jean Shaheen, her proposal was this group health insurance company that his new employer had hired? We're going to make them take that young child. How dare them not cover that young child? Of course, who wouldn't find that it's sad that the child can't get the health insurance that he might need? Or that the parents might need? In other words, the subsidized health care is really what we're talking about here. But that's up to charity. People should decide that, right? We have to

decide ourselves. It can't be forced because again, it doesn't show anybody cares when force is applied, which, you know, that is the moral, one of the great moral arguments for anarchism. No, no human ruler, only God. We have to be able to make our own moral decisions, just as they said in the 16 and 1700s. I'm looking at these people and I'm saying, I have a feeling that that man's company is Blue Cross, is insured by Blue Cross Blue Shield. I bet you anything. They have been brought up by Jean Shaheen to support her bill to force Blue Cross Blue Shield to accept the pre-existing condition like his son. And they don't even know that the reason Blue Cross Blue Shield denied his son was because of the woman standing next to them. She was the source of their problem.

And she brought them up there to promote her so-called solution. More force, more coercion, more extortion. They were being used as props by the very woman who had destroyed that child's opportunity to get proper health care. I thought that. So the first thing that happened was

in the meeting, Jean Shaheen says, I want there to be competition. And by doing this, imposing this imposition on the HMOs, we will be making a level playing field with the individual issuers who do this because of you, Gene Shaheen. And look what happened. So I raised my hand. And I said, Governor Shaheen,

since you just stated that you're very much in favor of competition. Would you be willing to repeal the provisions of SB 7-11, which the day it became law, saw six of the 10 individual issuers leave the state, subsequently saw two more leave the state, and has seen rates rise 209%. And we saw a decline in the number of people under 35 years of age by 40% holding insurance policies anymore, 40% decline. And she said, where are you getting those numbers? I was like, well, it's from the study that was attached to your bill, SB 711. It came out about a month ago. I crunched the numbers. I did the math. She's like, oh, there are new numbers, which was an absolute lie. So the first part of that, as I mentioned a couple of times on the show, on Liberty Conspiracy, six o'clock on Rock, Fenn and Rumble. I said, oh, what are

those new numbers? There's no way that they had new numbers. They have to do the study. They can't do it in a month. And she's like, no, I don't have them with them with me. You'll have to talk to my insurance commissioner. I was like, oh. So I went up to the insurance commissioner who was near those people at the end. And then I went to talk to those people. And that's the last bit of the story. I went up to the insurance commissioner and I said, so what's that information? She goes, oh, I don't insurance commission and they never gave me an answer, never gave me an answer until finally a guy named David Sky, who used to work at the Boston Fed and then went to work for the Shaheen administration in New Hampshire, got on the line and he said, yeah, you're right. We don't have any new information. I'm like, of course you don't. She lied. I stated some of that information when I was at that Concord High School talking about Jeanne Shaheen. And that was one of the things that set off all these left wingers who literally formed a semicircle around me and wouldn't allow me to leave the auditorium when I was up there speaking to the kids.

It's like they were going to physically assault me. That would have been a mistake, clearly. But it was amazing. Like, yeah, you criticized Jean Shaheen. I was like, no, no, I openly stated she's a liar and I can prove it. But that being stated, the last thing that happened was I walked up to that family and I said, hey, do you mind if I ask you? Your company's insurance company, insurance coverage, was it from Blue Cross Blue Shield? He said, well, yes. How did you know that? There you go.

What is seen and what is unseen, as Frederickerick brosier the economist from france would have said in the 19th century it doesn't take much to start finding as michael palin would say now we see the violence inherent in the system help help i'm being oppressed and then we go back to the story out of Ontario, because those people who were asking for that man's organs didn't even realize that he was dying because the organization was denying him an organ. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sad, sad, crazy stuff you know folks david night show gives me an opportunity to share some time with you and i am so glad to do so i'm going to take a look at the rockfin chat in just a second and then coming up at 11 o'clock we're going to be joined by marty goddessfeld talk about medicine and tyranny but i want to give you one last little something that uh is in the news and you can't really draw too many conclusions out of it but we'll do that just a minute. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Boy, what a pleasure it is to be here.

I'm so happy to be with you, everybody. And I want to thank the folks at the Rockfin Chat. Thank you so much. Great donations. And, of course, please, many, many thanks for the love of the road for matching those donations. Absolutely wonderful. And I want to check out some of the comments from very, very good folks. Johnny Vips. Johnny Vips is always so busy.

Thank you, Johnny, for donating. Oh, there's so much to say there. I'll look at this a little bit later on, Johnny. But I really appreciate it. Whoa. Thanks for tipping this show. Yeah, I can read some of this out loud also. Hal Watson, thanks for joining us. And Hal, I mentioned on my show, Liberty Conspiracy,

I didn't get to mention on Friday, I really appreciate your handle on Rumble because of course, Hal, IBM, Watson, the man who helped develop the code that was then unfortunately utilized by the Nazis. And of course, the Hal 9000 like 2001. Great to have you here. Appreciate it. And also, I appreciate everybody there at Rumble as well. So a couple of stories real quick that I want to bring up to you, everybody.

You'll find a number of stories on my sub stack that I think are pretty key. One of them I might get into before the end of the show, and I'm definitely going to get into it on Liberty Conspiracy tonight. It's Jim Jordan releasing even more documents about how Facebook bowed to White House censorship demands. And I've got a piece that is forthcoming from MRCTV about that, that goes into some of the communications that, you know, we already heard a lot from Matt Taibbi and Michael Schellenberger about this. I've discussed it in MRCTV pieces, but there's even more. And Jim Jordan has done a very good job releasing some of these things, sometimes just about memes, just people, you know, the Biden administration pushing to get people knocked off social media. And also in that vein, I mentioned

here in my sub stack, check this out. We already have the unconstitutional FCC and the ambiguous section 230 of the 1996 telecommunications so-called decency act. How is it decent for a thug organization called the federal government to lord it over what is supposed to be freedom of speech? And we already have the snoops at the FBI, strong arming social media. And we already have the snoops at the FBI strong-arming social media. And we already have the Portman-Murphy Act funding so-called NewsGuard and the Poynter Institute to bully us online. Now, Liz Warren and Lindsey Graham want to create a new agency to push around social media, likely using the ambiguity of Section 230 to claim that the social media sites are not, quote, curating, end quote, the way Liz and Lindsay want. And just to let you know, everybody, again, in Section 230, the ISPs and social media sites are given liability protection against defamation suits and against states going

after them if, say, child porn slips through. And the FCC, as long as the FCC claims that they were operating and curating under what the FCC determines is so-called good faith, then they will be given that immunity. But it will be withdrawn. And of course, that means the government has total power and hegemony over you if the government decides you're not curating in good faith. And this is the organization that Liz Warren and Lindsey Graham want to create with what they call the cyber bullying bill. So we'll tell you more about that if we have the opportunity in the show today towards the end of the day or tonight on Liberty Conspiracy or tomorrow on David's program. My final opportunity to fill in on this great opportunity to be with you. Now, there's something else, too. If you saw the mention of Portman Murphy, Chris Murphy is in the news, as are many others, because they aren't happy

with the Supreme Court. They don't like the idea that the Supreme Court might not be ruling in ways that don't expand the size and scope of the federal government. And so many of them are saying they want to have what's called an ethics rule over the justices. Well, Sam Alito is speaking up about that and Phil Murphy is arguing about it and AOC is arguing about it. There's Lou, there's so many of them. And you'll see this from MSN. Democrats balk at Alito assertion that Congress has no authority over the Supreme Court. Well, that's not exactly what he said. He said Congress has no authority to impose an ethics system over the Supreme Court. New ethics rules is what he was discussing. And you'll see here, Justice Alito says Congress lacks the power to impose an ethics code on the Supreme Court. So how is it that MSN gets it wrong?

Right? Well, this is what he said. Democrats balk at Alito's assertion that Congress has no authority over Supreme Court. Really? Really? Is that really the case? Because if that were the case, Alito wouldn't really understand the fact that Congress is the most powerful branch and Congress can impeach members of the court. I brought this up in my substack. See, this is what MSN is saying. MSN says that that's what Alito says, but that's not what Alito said.

They can't regulate the Supreme Court, is what Alito is talking about, but they can remove justices. They've got the impeachment power. And so we go back to my substack and we see that he said they lack the power to impose an ethics code. As I said, in Article 1 and Article 2, you can find this at my Substack. It's, you know, Gardner Goldsmith's Substack. In Article 1 and Article 2, the Constitution grants the Congress the power to impeach the president, vice president, and other, quote, civil officers of the federal government. The question is whether or not judicial branch members are considered civil officers. Based on the 1800 impeachment of federal judge John Pickering, it appears that is the case. And you can see John Pickering remembered right here.

John Pickering remembered for his impeachment. Pickering was born in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, 1737. On February 10th, 1795, President George Washington nominated Pickering to preside on the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire. He was confirmed by the U.S. Senate and assumed the office two months later. After five years on the bench, he began to show signs of cognitive decline. In 1801, Judge Jeremiah Smith was asked to fulfill Pickering's duties. Impeachment of John Pickering. After years of poor health, Pickering had developed a reputation for ravings, cursings, and crazed incoherencies. As part of his effort to remove Federalist judges from office, President Thomas Jefferson suggested that Pickering's embarrassing conduct and alleged unlawful rulings amounted to

an impeachable offense. Because Pickering refused to resign, Jefferson argued that impeachment was the only way to remove him from the bench. Pickering was charged with mental instability and intoxication on the bench and impeached by the House of Representatives on March 2nd, 1803. So that's the first one. That's a pretty sizable one. And they have the impeachment power, but they don't have the power to impose something completely different. If they don't like the ethics of a Supreme Court justice, then they don't impose an ethics rule. They engage in the power they were supposedly granted under the Constitution. They go through that procedure of citing the ethics violations through the impeachment process. Democrat lawmakers are criticized in Supreme Court Justice Sam Alito's recent interview with the Wall Street Journal in which he stated no provision in the Constitution allows Congress to regulate the Supreme Court.

Well, that's not exactly what he said or meant. He said they can't impose an ethics standard on the Supreme Court, but they can impeach. He says, I know this is a controversial view, but I'm willing to say it. Alito said Friday, referencing congressional Democrats' recent efforts to mandate stronger ethics rules. No provision in the Constitution gives them the authority to regulate the Supreme Court, period. I don't know that any of my colleagues have spoken about it publicly, but I think it is something we have all thought about, he told the Journal. So it's just amazing. And they keep bringing up these straw man arguments. We mentioned straw man argument before.

Dear Justice Alito, you're on the Supreme Court in part because Congress expanded the court to nine justices. Lou posted Friday on Twitter X. But that has nothing to do with regulating the behavior. That has to do with how many people are on the court, Mr. Lou. And you have the impeachment power. If you want to do the court, Mr. Liu. And you have the impeachment power. If you want to do the impeachment, then do it. And finally, everybody, let's go with what we used as the story that opens things up here.

The Biden family finally acknowledges out-of-wedlock granddaughter. You know, we talked about the Joe Biden dog, and unfortunately, it looks like there's not a lot of love for some people in the Biden household. And, you know, at first, this might sound like this is something that shouldn't really pertain to people. Well, sorry, but my money is going to pay the salary of those people, and it pays for that building, and it pays for a lot of other things. And so when it comes to this, I think some commentary might be in order. So this is my most recent piece. It was just released at MRCTV. It said, a period perhaps both sad and troubling for a child and for Americans forced to pay the political usurper who is the child's

grandfather has come to an end. Obviously, the politician himself continues to push us around and take what we earn, even as he and many others lay claim to the labor of our progeny. But at least when it comes to the Bidens and a scion of the Biden clan, a heart-wrenching stretch of years is over. Breitbart's Jordan Dixon Hamilton reports that the Biden patriarch and matriarch finally have acknowledged their granddaughter. Now, I say this because I want to show you just the type of character these people have exhibited. It's amazing. And it's not as if they've really cleaned up their act. Watch this. President Joe Biden on Friday, writes Dixon Hamilton, finally acknowledged Navy Joan Roberts, his four-year-old granddaughter of his son,

Hunter Biden, fathered out of wedlock with former stripper London Roberts. And I wrote, four years. If you shake your head in disbelief, even as you think about how this period is over, please add this to your thoughts. Dixon Hamilton tells us, quote, until now, both Biden and First Lady Jill Biden ignored the existence of Navy Joan. While campaigning, Jill Biden said, quote, we have three children and we have six grandchildren because they care so much about kids. She said that at a town hall event in April of 2020, omitting Navy Joan. I said, forget visits, forget high fives and songs and bringing gifts on special days. To Joe Biden, this child didn't even exist. There's something apocalyptically sterile about that, something very inhuman and alien.

And it gets worse. Quote, in December 2021, the Biden family excluded their seventh grandchild from a Christmas celebration at the White House. The Biden family displayed six Christmas stockings for their grandchildren, omitting Navy Joan, while including one stocking for their dog. I don't even have words. It's just... And the same occurred in 2022. Perhaps time allows a person to forgive that kind of malfeasance and mistreatment.

It's a heck of a burden to put on a child. And even for an adult, it forces the victim to wrestle with a Pandora's box of questions and a presumption that said victim has to forgive the wrongdoers. And all those years of love and fun lost. And it goes beyond even that. Dixon Hamilton also notes that Mr. Biden appears to have been disinterested even in providing protection to this link in his bloodline. Quote, in June 2022, Biden reportedly refused to provide security for his seventh grandchildren, seventh grandchild amid legal battles between Hunter Biden and Roberts. Vindictive, I write, perhaps. It's certainly bizarre if one considers the popular notion underlying the presidential

first family protections for which we are all forced to pay. And Dixon Hamilton observes that despite taking advantage of press availabilities, where he portrays himself as a kindly grandfather and lover of kids, the elder Biden refused to acknowledge granddaughter Navy even earlier this year. I have six grandchildren and I'm crazy about them. I speak to them every single day. Not a joke, Biden told children at a White House event in April. Hunter denied paternity initially, but a 2019 DNA test proved he was the father of Navy Joan. What changed? It appears that the reality of paternity and the legality of a court settlement, not famil agreement with London, the terms of which have been under wraps, People Magazine reported. CNN has reported that as part of the settlement,

the child will receive both monetary child support and some of Hunter's paintings. Isn't that beautiful? I said, lovely. Surely she will be delighted. Many people believe that the Bible tells us to not judge. That is an erroneous belief. Matthew 7 tells us, quote, judge not that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged. And with what measure ye meet, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? End quote. As said, Jesus did not prohibit us from judging others. He merely advises us that should we judge others, we must be prepared to be judged by the same standard. It is an admonition and, in a way, an exhortation to exercise judgment with humility and universality. You let me know your thoughts in the Rumble chat. And we'll take advantage of our opportunity coming up to speak with another moral actor who has done very good things in his life and continues to do so.

Coming up, our guest, Marty Gottesfeld. Thank you. you're listening to the david knight show oh what wonderful stuff boy oh boy i tell you i love the music that david knight produces for show. And he's just so full of talent. It's just great. You know, folks, if you follow my Twitter feed, you'll probably see a link to not only the Sunday News Assembly with a lot of that information in there. And recently I posted a bunch of stuff about Boston's Larry Bird, the great Larry Bird. But also and Chris Murphy and Sam Alito and all those things. But also I posted some information about the work that Marty Gottesfeld is doing. around the Boston area, maybe you actually did hear about some of the good things he did to try to help a young woman who was basically medically kidnapped. And she was being held in a hospital

by medical kidnappers, essentially, who were affiliated with some very big powers in Boston. And one man helped out. One man stood out and he went right up against these massive powers. He's Marty Gardesfeld. And I'd like to bring him on the program right now and show his substack presence very soon. Marty has been on before with David and it was fascinating. And Marty, you and I get to see each other for the first time here after our great conversations over the weekend. And I want to thank you for being so kind to join us on the David Knight show. As you get to see my shaven headed, hopefully it's not blinding you, uh, look, and we're not too far from each other. You're in Massachusetts. I'm

in New Hampshire. Welcome back to the David Knight show, Marty. Thanks for joining us. Thank you for having me. It's great to have you here, Marty. If people aren't familiar with your work, tell us first a little bit about what might have brought your name to their attention a few years ago as we talk about a young woman who was essentially medically kidnapped by some very powerful people tied to Harvard, the medical system, and the political system in Massachusetts. And then let's talk about where they can find your continuing work. How might they know you from the past? So anyone who heard of the Justina Pelletier case at Boston Children's Hospital, which is a pretty high profile case that made Fox News. Huckabee was

talking about it a lot. Megyn Kelly did a segment. It was all over the internet. Justina was when it began a 14-year-old mitochondrial disease patient. Mitochondrial disease is a rare condition. It's sometimes or often fatal. It's usually degenerative and progressive. People might be familiar with the Charlie Gard case, which was out of the UK in 2017 or 2018. A baby boy was born. He had a more severe form of mitochondrial disease. The people at the hospital basically wanted to pull the plug on Charlie and his parents were fighting for his right to try experimental medical treatments. And there were other doctors who wanted to try to treat him and thought perhaps he could live. But the hospital would not allow that to happen.

In the end, the Pope got involved and Trump ended up tweeting saying, hey, if they want to bring this kid to the United States to try to treat him, we'll happily receive him. But the hospital would not relent. And in the end, they basically pulled the plug on him and he died. And so the condition that he had, mito is kind of an umbrella term. The mitochondria or the organelles, the little parts of your cells that break down food into chemical energy, like the most essential form of chemical energy that runs all your body systems. So people with mito have some issue between the majority of their cells and these mitochondria, which are these little things inside the cell that actually look like they evolved independently and then formed a mutualistic relationship with the first animal cells. Justina has a, you know, not trivial case of mito. And she was being

treated by a very good team of mito experts at Tufts University Medical Center, which is, you know, a top hospital. One of her doctors, her GI doc had moved to Boston Children's Hospital the month before. He got some kind of a research grant or something, and he had worked previously at Children's. Justina came down with the flu and was having a hard time keeping food down. The flu is a big complication for a lot of mito patients, and it's particularly dangerous for Justina because of the GI symptoms. If you imagine her body was already having kind of a hard time processing food into chemical energy. Now comes the flu and she can't even keep food down. Right. So you had a problem, you know, way down the production line. If you think of the body as like an assembly line

and food going through and being processed, and now you stop the input, right. When you're already not too good when the input is steady. So it became an urgent situation. And her main mito doc at Tufts referred her to see her gastroenterologist. This is the gentleman who had just moved to Children's. The family brought her to Children's by ambulance in the middle of a snowstorm. They got to the emergency room where they got to intake at Boston Children's at four o'clock in the morning on a Sunday. And the GI doc, of course, was not there four o'clock on a Sunday. She was seen by a different set of relatively junior practitioners who didn't have a lot of experience under their belts. She was seen by a neurologist. The neurologist doubted the mito diagnosis,

even though it was outside his area of expertise. He called in a non-MD psychologist, a woman without a medical degree, a woman who had an NIH grant to study a competing diagnosis called somatoform disorder. And, you know, what do you know, the psychologist agrees that Justina has somatoform, and they take her or they try to take her off of all of her mitochondrial disease treatments. When they told Justina's parents they wanted to take her off her mitochondrial disease treatments, they of course refused to consent. And this started this legal battle where Boston Children's Hospital went to the state. And Boston Children's Hospital is a $2 billion Harvard-affiliated organization. They're Harvard's primary pediatric research and enterprise institute. They get more money in federal grants mito treatments, and we don't think they're all necessary. And they're not treating her for her psychosomatic aspects, and we want to treat her for that. The state said, sure, filed a petition in

Massachusetts Family Court, not in Connecticut Family Court, the state where the family's from, but Massachusetts Family Court. And they got a judge to sign off on it. And the saga went on for 16 months. Justina was away from her family for two birthdays. Getting sicker that whole time. As a quick aside, I should mention, Marty, that, you know, I was listening to Boston Talk Radio at the time and friends, family members were calling, asking, saying, we're desperate here. We're desperate. She is getting sicker and sicker and sicker.

And she was sending messages out like she is. She even put out like little little desperate pleas like get me out of here. And it was amazing. She had to hide them in origami because they were censoring. You know, they would, they, they cramped down on her communications really tight. And then her phone calls were monitored by the state and the in, in-person visits. My understanding is they had an armed guard sitting in with the family. And if Justina started talking about her medical condition or her treatment of Boston children's, they would just end the call or end the visit.

So she's a very clever little girl. She started folding origami to her family and the hospital would let the art projects out, right? And so the mother would open up the origami from Justina and I would say, I'm being tortured. They hurt me all the time. So, you know, towards the middle of April 2014, one of those notes was published. And, you know, I hadn't just seen his handwriting. Hurry. And four days later, the government alleges that I launched one of the largest distributed denial of service attacks that they have ever seen. And took down this $2 billion Harvard hospital. They actually alleged that the cyber attack was so large that it took down all of the neighborhood Harvard hospitals. And this was

during their big fundraising day. And so it cost them a lot of money and it put a lot of attention on what they were doing. And, you know, lo and behold, you know, less about a month later, they transfer her out of Massachusetts to a facility in Connecticut. The facility in Connecticut says, our hands are off. We don't want any trouble. So now the communications restrictions are lifted. And Justina's sister takes her wheelchair because at this point she's wheelchair bound. She was skating six weeks before she went into Boston.

She was figure skating. At this point now, she's in a wheelchair, but they took her into a little parking lot and she recorded a 30 second video that they called Justina's plea. And it's just Justina in her wheelchair, rubbing her legs saying, you know, please let me go home. I need to be home with my family. And it was visibly very,

very apparent that her condition had not improved that it had in fact deteriorated. And, you know, a little that her condition had not improved, that it had in fact deteriorated. And, you know, a little while after that video went up, the Polanowicz, the HHS secretary for Massachusetts got personally involved in the case and the judge dismissed the case against the Pelletier family. And Justina went back home and she's still being treated for Mito today. You know, she's had a few more complications you know going that long without her mito treatments i think had a permanent you know market effect on her probably shortened her life expectancy uh you know when they when they sentenced me in federal court you know they're

all expecting me to be contrite and you know say i'm sorry and all that and i didn't do that i i stood up and i said you know my only regret is I didn't do anything sooner. I wish I'd done more earlier because, you know, maybe she'd be walking today if someone had done something a little bit sooner. Yeah. They assigned my case to this judge, Judge Nathaniel Gorton and his family business, for-profit family business donates to Boston Children's Hospital. Boston Children's Hospital thanks the family business right on their website, the very same website the government alleges I took down. Thanks them for their philanthropic gifts. And then he and his brother were both board members at a place called the New England Home for Little Wanderers, which partners with Boston Children's Hospital specifically to divert psychiatric inpatient children. And Boston Children's Hospital gave the New England Home for Little Wanderers a $50,000 direct gift. So you're saying they have a direct source of children from that

on which they can do experiments and backing it up, one of the people behind it is a judge. Well, I don't know if the New England Home for Little Wanderers is involved in any medical research, but they are very involved with Boston Children's Hospital. You know, this judge, the family business donates to Boston Children's Hospital. The judge was on the board at New England Home for Little Wanderers and Boston Children's Hospital gave the New England Home for Little Wanderers $50,000. Then during my trial, right. One of the

jurors comes forward and says, you know, I was an accountant for the New England home for little wanderers, and I'm worried about a mistrial. And the judge refused to discharge this juror. She was one of the jurors. Yeah. She was one of the jurors who found me guilty. Wow. And Marty, uh, one of the things we're speaking with Marty Gottesfeld folks Marty I'd like to show your Twitter To people That'd be great It's at Marty

Gottesfeld G-O-T-T-E-S-F-E-L-D Please follow him At Marty Gottesfeld And we'll show your sub stack as well Marty It's Marty G sub stack, and you've got a lot going on there. And I'd love to talk to you about all of this amazing work that you're doing now. So much information. And in particular, we'll talk about this information

about Diamond Ranch and things like that. But again, folks, if you get the opportunity, head over to Twitter, please follow Marty Gottesfeld. Marty, when you mentioned one, one thing that I do want to make sure that we bring up when you mentioned you brought down, brought down the hospital, Boston Children's, you brought down, yeah, I mean, you're alleged to have done that. It was it's alleged you brought down the Web site and the systems in the hospital were fine. Yeah. Yeah. They actually they tried to get my jury to convict me of impairment. I forget the exact word, but basically affecting the medical treatment diagnosis or care of one or more individuals. And the jury ultimately did not convict me on that. I had a nurse from a Boston hospital on my jury, and I believe it was she who would not allow the jury to convict on that. Because it sounds scary, right? But the reality is no medical device passes FDA

that requires Internet access. If things in critical treatment required Internet access, you'd see headlines all the time about deaths from Internet outages. Right. And so that's just never a real concern. It was bogus from the start. I was a health I was a data security coordinator for a biotech company in Kendall. I know HIPAA very well. I know the health care accreditation standards very well. You know, I think what they're kind of pissed off about is, you know, I drove a finishing nail home with a sledgehammer. And that's well stated. Yeah. But I mean, so the bottom line is that they tried to convict me for even just like affecting basically one person's care.

And they ultimately failed to prove that to the jury. And I was not convicted for that. So I was convicted solely of financial damage to the institution that crippled Justina Pelletier. Oh, how dare you upset the apple cart for these giant institutions that have, you know, going back to 1620 with Harvard, that have long, long had such powerful influence in Boston. And, you know, I often bring up Sam Blumenfeld's work and he focused very hard on the influence of many of the more squirrely people from Harvard and pushing and pushing and pushing to push out private teaching and church-based schools in the Massachusetts area and inculcate kids to become good citizens through government-run schools.

And it's just continued on from John Harvard's time onwards. And it is amazing to see the powers that they have. But this is not just isolated to Massachusetts. And so let's turn to this Substack stuff. The Substack presence is amazing, Marty. You're doing amazing, amazing work. And I hope I can recommend that as well to people. It's martygreports. You can go to martyg.substack.com. It's martyg.substack.com. And of course, if you follow Marty on Twitter, you can see it's hyperlinked in his about section. And you've got some amazing, very important information here. First, the top piece, the most recent piece, two hours ago, teen deaths mount as Utah keeps

questionable facilities open. And something that people might see a little bit down the line here is troubled teen centered diamond ranch academy so uh enter this if you will marty and please you know this is uh partly to to allow um the audience to hear you and explore what you would like to explore here because in in honor you know i I heard about you. OK, I heard about what you did for her. So, you know, I think in recognition of what you've done, just to give you the opportunity to tell people about some of your work, about yourself. And we can talk about some of your experience in incarceration as well. But to talk about some of these things you're working on now, which are remarkable as well. But to talk about some of these things you're working on now, which are remarkable as well, tell us a little bit about Utah, Diamond Ranch, things like that, if you can. Sure. So before I had ever heard of Justina, I got involved against this kind of

amalgam that gets called the troubled teen industry. And Utah is one of the biggest states in the troubled teen industry, but it is not the only one. And what these places do, they charge top dollar for stuff they call therapy that is really, it's kind of cultish. And the GAO has commented on that to Congress. It's very, very well documented. It's a very open secret. But these places, they charge top dollar for these therapies. And when you hear about these therapies, they just, you know, there's something very wrong with this. And, you know, it all started for me. My wife, who at the time was my girlfriend, told me that her little brother's public school district,

the LA Unified School District, the second largest school public school district in the country, had sent her brother to this therapeutic boarding school in Utah called Logan River Academy. And she had gone out there and spoken to her brother. And she had also kind of taken the tour of the place and spoken to the staff. And my wife is no dummy. You know, she graduated from Brandeis University with a degree in sociology, specializing in the sociology of disability. And what she saw at that place really resonated with her. So she kept asking me to, you know, please look into this place. And, you know, at this point, we had just moved in together. I didn't really know her family that well.

I wasn't trying to get involved, you know, in something like that. But I started looking up Logan River Academy. And what I found really concerned me, you know, for her brother's immediate safety. Kids die at these programs. Kids are restrained to death. Like three adults just pile on top of a kid and hold them still and hold them to the ground and crush a kid's lungs. And this has happened a lot because they don't really, they don't tend to use well-trained therapists. They tend to just hire 20-year-old college students who have a little too much adrenaline in the system, maybe

not enough compassion. And they do these weird things. So like at Logan River, they had this practice, they called Devo. And like, if a kid like mouthed off or like, you know, did anything, they'd give them like a thousand hours of Devo. And like, it's like a thousand hours of like, very, very strict attention. And her brother was spending basically his whole day in Devo. And I was like, that's not very therapeutic. That's not evidence-based. There's no real science to support that kind of thing. It's probably not going to have the best effect on the kid. And then I found out about some of the other practices that were going on at the school. You know, a whole lot of survivors came forward to talk about like forced injections, you know,

where they just hold the kid down and hit him with like Damerol or some other kind of powerful psych drug. You know, it's all kinds of stuff going on. And the unifying theme about all these places, because the therapies are all a little different. Like some of them will say it's wilderness therapy. Some of them will say it's, you know, food therapy. Like we give like a whole grain diet. Right. But they're all kind of quackish. And what they all have in common is that they're very cheap, right? And meanwhile, the school district is paying, I think in her brother's case, it was six and a half thousand dollars a month, which is more than Harvard tuition, you know, for these therapies. And then the kid barely sees a licensed practitioner,

you know, if at all, and the licensed practitioner is not, that tends not to be a very high level practitioner. And they're basically just warehousing these kids and pocketing the money. And, you know, it's very, very bad for the kids. In Pennsylvania, two state judges closed the local juvenile detention center, invested in a private juvenile detention center. And then they were taking kickbacks from the private juvenile detention center to sentence kids to juvenile hall, basically. And so like one girl made a website, spoof website to mock her assistant principal. And they sent her to juvenile detention for that

and made money off of it. And then, you know, eventually, you know, the truth came out and the feds busted these two judges. And then the feds tried to give them sweetheart pleas. And the pleas were so lenient that the federal judge overseeing the case basically refused to enter the pleas, refused to accept the pleas. And, you know, but the feds continue to try to give these two state judges special treatment. They released one of them during COVID when he had like seven something years left on his sentence. But that's the kind of thing that goes on. There's all these kinds of little corrupt agreements between like these institutions and law enforcement, these institutions and local judges, these institutions

and school districts. And there's all this money and all these kids crossing state lines, you know, to go into this industry. And this is an industry where like teen girls have been forced to trade sexual favors for food. This is an industry where they set up two facilities in Mexico that the federales actually raided and closed down. They closed one of them for running an unlicensed pharmacy. But these were American kids, right? And the irony was these institutions tried to go across the border thinking that they would be more likely to get away with it. But the Mexican government actually has a better record of shutting these places down than our federal government does. Wow. And like, we don't like, there's a diverse view set on how best to

address this industry. I'm agnostic as to the solution. Personally, there are a lot of folks who favor federal law. There are a lot of folks who favor federal law. There are a lot of folks who want to work at the state licensing level. To me, I think, though, all we really need to do is just enforce the laws that are already on the books. Like it's fraud to accept money for something that, you know, is bogus. It's education fraud to accept IEP money, special education money to send an autistic kid to a place where you're not helping with the autism. And then in the end, you know, autistic kids die at these places. That's one of the articles.

It's incredible. Yeah. And in fact, let's talk a little bit about the Diamond Ranch. Yeah. And talk a little bit about that. We'll start to incorporate some what you and I sort of touch on, on the phone a little bit about how although, you know, we don't want to have a celebrity driven culture or anything like that.

We just can't help the fact that certain celebrities can, because they get attention because they're're well known over a large geographic area or population area, they can actually do some decent things by drawing attention to things. There's pressure on them to do this or do that. And there is one celebrity, a couple of people who have stood up and started to speak out about this sort of thing. So what I'll do, Marty, is I'll put this up on the screen real quick, This from July 16th, teens death helps close troubled teen centered Diamond Ranch Academy. And again, what we're talking about here is one of these places that seems to be very, I guess, part of the culture and part of the political institutions in Utah. Tell us a

little bit about this. And you mentioned autism. Tell us a little bit about this Diamond Ranch. And then we'll go into what some people are doing to try to combat this sort of thing. Yeah. So Diamond Ranch Academy was one of the wealthiest of these troubled teen institutions. They operated for years. They had had two prior fatalities. There is a very vocal survivor community, people who went to this place and left and speak out about what happened there. They're very influential in Hurricane Utah, you know, where they are. And they had a fatality five days before last Christmas.

You know, and the survivors did what they always do and were very vocal. And the family of the deceased is suing. But, you know, a little while, I think three or four days after the latest fatality, Paris Hilton tweeted about Diamond Ranch. And that put a lot of focus on Diamond Ranch. And at the same time, the survivors were very well organized and they started inundating the state licensing people with their stories about this place. And it was the third fatality there. And okay, so then there actually was a bunch of moving parts. So the Utah Disability Law Center also issued the scathing report about residential treatment in Utah and this industry in particular. And all that kind of culminated together to force the state licensing agency to, well, what they technically did, they put Diamond Ranch on conditional licensing, which is like a probation. And then they waited for Diamond Ranch's license to be expiring. And they declined to renew Diamond Ranch's license. And when they declined to renew Diamond

Ranch's license, they ordered Diamond Ranch to discharge all its patients by August, by a date in August. And so Diamond Ranch could have tried to fight that. But one thing you see in this industry is kind of when the name, when the brand is tainted, they kind of close down. And then usually the same owners or staff, someone close to the program will buy it at a fire sale, reopen it under a new name, right? Get relicensed. And this has happened in Utah where, you know, a kid died at the old program, they reopened, and then a kid dies at the new program.

Unbelievable. We're going to see if that happens here. But, you know, the bottom line is it was a very high profile action for Utah to close Diamond Ranch you know I was struck Marty we're speaking with Marty Gottesfeld folks and again want to show this up on the screen uh very quickly it's at Marty Gottesfeld and Marty again thanks for joining me on the program and I really really uh yeah I was so happy to hear you chatting with David uh David obviously has admired the courage that you showed and the ingenuity you showed and your tenacity to follow these things.

And I'll just read this from Marty G. reports at Substack. And you go to martyg.substack.com, everybody, to find Marty's Substack presence. Please subscribe. You said troubled teenagers are quite literally a multi-billion dollar commodity in the United States. An entire troubled teen industry, AstroTurf's, Google, Facebook, Yelp, and even sites like Psychology Today. When fearful parents go online for help handling their teen's emotional, social, substance abuse, or other problems, the industry promises treatment to fix just about everything. That is, for a price. Taylor Goodrich's parents sent her to Diamond Ranch Academy, DRA, in Hurricane, Utah, for help. Court documents indicate

DRA charges upwards of $12,000 a month, nearly double Harvard's full boarding cost. The 17-year-old died five days before Christmas last year. Her family is suing DRA in U.S. District Court. DRA's website boasted it is, quote, America's leading teen therapeutic boarding school and clinical residential program, providing a first-class structured and supportive campus for boys and girls struggling with emotional, social, educational, or behavioral issues, end quote. But reconciling DRA's website with what befell Goodridge is difficult. DRA, its medical director, Dr. Danny Wormwood, appropriate name rate high. The DPL found those symptoms required emergency care, which DRA withheld. Moreover, Brooks Wiley, a psychiatric nurse practitioner

and DRA's assistant medical director, was, quote, not qualified to work in an urgent care ER or family practice setting and was working beyond the scope of its license when he treated Woolridge, the panel found. A few hours after the panel's report, the Utah Office of Licensing denied DRA's application to renew its license and ordered it to discharge all of its clients on or before August 14th, 2023. But as you mentioned, it does seem, Marty,

as if these forces just shift things around and create new checker pieces to put on the board. Yeah. I think the most famous case of that in Utah is the Aaron Bacon case. And that was North Star Expeditions was the new name. I forget the name of the original program, but basically there was a wilderness program, which, you know, claims that by taking teens out into the woods, getting them away from everything, you know, that it helps kind of focus them and, you know, get, just create like a good separation between whatever the situation was going on at home with drugs or family strife or whatever, and give them some peace and allow them to kind of cope and move on.

But the problem is, you know, the wilderness, you know, nature, those who don't respect it, you know, nature is a very, very powerful force. And so they took Aaron Bacon out into nature. And, you know, he was complaining during the hike. And they kind of just assume that, you know, the kids that are complaining, you know, are just trying to get out of the program or just trying to make stuff up and go home. But he actually had a very serious condition. He had a perforated ulcer. And for days, he was marching and, you know, he lost some absurd amount of weight, and he died. And because they're out in the wilderness, and they were so far away from any kind of high level medical care, you know, that was it for him. And his parents have testified before Congress and they talked about, you know, when the sheet was pulled back in the morgue, you know, looking at their son's body, they could barely recognize him because he lost so much weight and there were just bruises and everything everywhere. And, you know, when that kind of thing happens, right,

there's usually very little, if any, jail time, you know, for the people responsible for the deaths of these kids. You know, they sent me to federal prison with a 10-year sentence for saving Justina Pelletier. And I could name, you know, 25 dead kids in Utah, and the sentences, the criminal sentences combined across all those cases are not as much as the sentence that I got in U.S. District Court in Boston. Oh, my goodness.

And Boston Children's Hospital, here's another one for you. They had a pedophile pediatrician named Richard Keller. This guy got busted with 500 high gloss stills of child pornography and 50 DVDs in his bedroom. Right. He was a Boston Children's Hospital endocrinologist, I believe it was. OK, he got sentenced in the same federal court that I did and he got a lesser sentence than I did. Holy smoke. Wow. Yeah. Oh, man. Marty. Marty Gottesfeld is our guest, folks, on The David Knight Show. And Marty, it's great. It's great. I mean, you know, it's it's amazing. You can keep a sense of perspective about this and adjust your perspective to continue to to to smile about life and know that you're, you've done the right thing. And on that Utah issue of the 25 children, your piece, uh, most recent release today, just out today, 49 States slowly realize Utah is not a safe place for children. I hope people will share this and get right on top of

this. There's my like right there. And yeah, absolutely. And, um, and people can click and play. They can listen to it while they're doing their work or if they're in the car. Um, the latest death happened this month in Heber city, Utah, a teen boy yet to be publicly named fell three stories. Authorities suspect suicide five days before Christmas, 17-year-old Taylor Goodridge died in Hurricane Utah from apparent medical neglect. And before Goodridge, a 14-year-old Sophia Soto died in Spanish Fork on January 16, 2022, also from apparent medical neglect. The three teens were sent to inpatient residential treatment programs in Utah. On its surface, Utah sends more teens to such programs than any other state. That is very strange. But Utah is also a leader in deaths at these programs. Advocates have confirmed 25 of them, as you mentioned, since 1989. Utah,

however, does not maintain a comprehensive list of program fatalities, so the figure below is likely incomplete, and you have the list. Amazing. Often parents send a child to Utah to a residential program and foot the bill. Other times, school districts use public special education funds. Oh boy, that's a recipe for disaster. Courts and state agencies nationwide also order children to programs in Utah. Soto was autistic. Her family struggled with the decision to place her in Maple Lake Academy. Reportedly, she had been sick for days when Maple Lake, too late, called 911. Days after Soto's death,

the Utah Office of Licensing, which oversees youth programs, put Maple Lake under conditional licensing, a kind of probation routinely invoked after a child dies. A few months later, following a similar but non-fatal incident, Utah gave the facility 30 days to close. The facility protested, and Utah resumed its conditional license for a year. Maple Lake remains fully licensed and open today. The Sotos have sued. Marty G. reports requested information from Gross and Rooney, the firm representing Soto's family, but was not answered by press time. Obviously, quote, obviously, the situation is tragic for all involved, Maple Lake Academy told the Salt Lake Tribune, quote,

It would not be appropriate for us to comment at this time other than to say that our hearts continue to go out to the Soto family for their loss. We respect the legal process and will act in good faith as we seek resolution. Well, Marty, I get the impression that there are instances here where it requires people to speak up because the institutions, as you say, don't seem to be responding and they might have reasons to not respond. I don't want to ascribe too many motivations to some people, but it looks like there's some corruption inside Utah's judicial system and inside this corporatized, politicized system. And I just want to read this. Goodridge died at Diamond Ranch Academy, perhaps Utah's most financially successful youth program.

Michael Jackson's daughter, Paris Jackson, was once held there. The program featured regulation football and baseball fields. They've got a lot of money going in there. They can influence a lot of people. Tell us a little bit, Marty, about not just the instances here that we're seeing of these potential neglect cases at these corporatized big money places, but also this judicial system. And the fact that there are a lot of kids, as we see now, who could be preyed upon by psychotherapists, by people who want to push the trans agenda, and even by parents who might have very twisted ideologies and so on, or want to get involved with something that is not necessarily right. What might you want to warn people, especially about what's going on in Utah that has been on

your radar screen and across the United States, when we see what you experienced in the judicial system and what you tried to do for Justina, any examples, whether it be from Utah or from your own experience that might come to mind and how people can get out word the way Paris Hilton has done? I mean, the system is not, I think there's a wide perception, you know, in America that the criminal justice system is awful and needs reform. But it is so much worse than most people realize. The corruption runs so deep. The state and state court, the feds and federal court, they basically come in and lie with license. And, you know, no one ever gets charged for perjury.

You know, I can give you some more examples from my own case, the magistrate judge that issued the search warrant for my house. Her husband is a Harvard professor, Harvard medical professor and practitioner at one of the hospitals partnered with Boston Children's Hospital. If you look at the search warrant for my house, which is still under seal and they won't unseal it, I moved to have it unsealed and they won't unseal it. But if you look at the search warrant, you know, it's dated and signed by this judge, September 29th, 2014. If you look at the first page of the FBI's application for that search warrant, it's dated the next day, September 30th,

2014. And they will not unseal these documents for the public to see. Wow. Yeah. And we moved to recuse these judges. We went all the way up to the First Circuit, you know, to the Court of Appeals to say, hey, you've got to have these judges step off this case. This case needs, you know, someone who's not tied to the hip to Boston Children's Hospital. And the First Circuit would not even address those factual allegations.

They kind of in one pen stroke just said, well, the judge is associated with some children's charities and that's fine. We see no issue. And they didn't mention his for-profit family business. And so they all kind of, they're like a team, right? And when you challenge one of them, they circle the wagons. And this happens in divorce courts. This happens in criminal courts.

This happens in civil courts. And so when you challenge these programs, when you challenge these big money people, you think you're going to go into an American courtroom and you're going to have your day in court. Right. And no, you largely don't. And, you know, that's the kind of thing. Right. Like I have critics who think that, you know, Justina deserved help, but maybe I went about it in the wrong way. And it's like, no, look at look at what these courts did, you know, had something very dramatic not been done. I'm fairly sure that girl would have died. I don't think there was anything. Vigilante action was utterly necessary there. And, and, and this is the thing, you know, um, what you did to save her, uh, we were watching, I was, I was watching and you were

a hero. I was listening to the radio as you did it. I was, I was out here and I saw you save that girl. And, and, you know, Marty, uh, there are some oblique things that I'd like to discuss with you. We're speaking with Marty Gottesfeld, folks. And also, Marty, I'd like to, if I could, just acknowledge also the co-writer with whom you share credit, Nora Ashley Berry. People can link over to her Substack profile over there. As you say, troubled teen industry survivor turned human rights advocate.

I cover institutionalized abuse. I'm going to subscribe to her. Could you tell us a little bit about Nora and her background as well, since she contributed to this latest piece just out at martygreports, martyg.substack.com. Nora's great. She's one of many survivors who have decided to turn around and try to do something for the next kid. That what happened to her was unacceptable and that something has to be done to stop this from continuing to happen. And that's what we're kind of at a critical moment here, I think, where there are enough survivors and they're sufficiently vocal that maybe we're on the crest of seeing some real change. A mutual acquaintance introduced us. She had a lot of information about these three particular deaths. She had

the information about the 25 prior cases. She had confirmed them all. You know, she's very thorough. She's very careful to get the facts right. That matters an awful lot in what we do, you know, getting the facts right. This is my first project with her, but I look forward hopefully to many more. You know, she helped get the art. She helped get the facts. She was the one who noted the Midvale closing to me. She's very active in the survivor community. Yeah, I mean, she is just great. And there's so many of these wonderful survivors out there. And despite all their trauma, despite everything this industry did to them, and it ruins families, you know what I mean? Like the rift that it creates between, you know, a kid who gets sent there and the family is non-trivial.

And, you know, Nora is a mother. She has teenage children of her own. And she's, you know, committed that they have, you know, a proper upbringing and that they not have, you know, anything happen to them like what happened to her. And, you know, so again, I just I have so much respect for these survivors. And they were everywhere inside the federal system, by the way, like when you go to federal prison, like, like probably 80% of the guys in federal prison had some kind of interaction with a juvenile hall, a juvenile attention center, a residential treatment center, some kind of impact or are scared straight or some kind of these programs. Right. And I was always the safest guy. I went any went anywhere I was in federal prison. I mean, I was in the shoe where Jeffrey Epstein died, like before he died. Well, El Chapo was there. I was at the communications management unit in Terre Haute, Indiana, which is like the terrorist unit.

That's where they put little old me. But everywhere that I went, there were guys who had survived these programs. And they watched out for me and they kept me safe when they found out why I was there. Oh, geez. And, you know, and so you can see very clearly the school to prison pipeline. And that's what it is. And perhaps you only get a clear view of it from behind the wall. But, you know, these guys, you know, some of them, they're like, you know, I did what I did. And, you know, I'm here and I know why and like, whatever,

but what are you people doing with him? Right. And it was this, this kind of like righteous indignation on their part, collectively that, that kept me very safe. And I'm very, very grateful for it. And I think the way that those people responded to you and knowing what you did and, you know, really showed their hearts in many instances. You know, you have people who rise to prominence from being relatively unknown, but they do something positive to try to help other people. Gardner, I think I lost the stream there for a second. I didn't hear you. What did you say? Oh, I was going to say, you know, you have people who rise to prominence and public recognition because they might've done something that helped other people and that gets recognition. Then you have, you know,

other facets of the world where, you know, as, as you mentioned, you mentioned Paris Hilton, I'll bring this up again. We have Paris Hilton right here, uh, testifying. I'll just play a little bit. Uh, and they come from, uh, yeah, celebrity area or whatever, as they push for these sorts of things. And we'll just play a little bit of And they come from, yeah, celebrity area or whatever, as they push for these sorts of things. And we'll just play a little bit of this here from the news. Would brag to other students that she was the one who broke Paris Hilton. Violating confidentiality is not only unethical, but also a violation of HIPAA. This woman was employed by Universal Health Services for 20 years. She was let go this October, only after my documentary premiered. I tell my story not so that

anyone feels bad for me but to shine a light on the reality of what happened then and is still happening now. The people who work at, run, and fund these programs should be ashamed of themselves. How can people live with themselves knowing this abuse is happening? Right now in Utah, there are thousands of children experiencing abuse that do not have access to legal counsel, advocacy, or their family and friends, and who are counting on us to do the right thing. We, all of us, have the opportunity today to lead by example and make a difference in saving children's lives. I'm calling not only on the people in this room, but also elected leaders like Representative

Scott, Senator Schumer, Speaker Pelosi, Vice President Harris, and President Biden, and everyone listening to my voice today to denounce child abuse. Utah has the highest percentage... You know, it's something, Marty, because I was talking a little bit about the way that the Biden family was treating their grandchild. Yeah. And you were. Yeah. And it's just it is just the kids are commodities to so many of these people. It's just vile. And if you could, Marty, could you tell us obliquely as as directly as you want, as obliquely as you want, what some people might want to know could be a very strong possibility within the prosecutorial judicial system

of some of the people who work for government who are, they get into this field, but are actually very twisted people themselves and how the the offices themselves can lend themselves to this as you mentioned one guy getting caught with all this child porn well that was a boston children's hospital uh a doctor right and he's actually one of two there was one before before him named Mel Levine, who shot himself in the head the day after a couple dozen Boston Children's Hospital survivors filed a civil lawsuit against him for molesting them. So it was actually two at Boston

Children's Hospital, at least that we know of. But yeah, I mean, so in my case, and I think in a lot of others, you know, my case was a cyber crime case, right? That's the division that, that prosecuted it. And when you're behind the wall, when you're in federal prison, there are a lot of, uh, child, uh, sex offenders in the federal institutions. It's a significant chunk of the prosecutions the feds bring. And they all have kind of similar mannerisms and they all, you know, we know who they are the minute they walk onto the yard, right? It's like, oh, we see him, we know his paperwork is probably messed up. You know, I'm not going to name any particular examples.

But when you look at some of the folks in the DOJ prosecuting cybercrime, and you look at some of the folks in the FBI investigating cybercrime, you know, if those guys walked onto the yard, you know, pretty much everyone in the yard would have them pegged as a child sex offender. And it's not like a definitive thing. Again, look, you can't say for sure. But that would certainly be the impression that they give. And I started thinking about it. And it's, you know, if you wanted to look at kiddie porn all day, if you wanted to watch child porn all day and have it be legal and be lionized for it, right? What better job than a cybercrime prosecutor in the Justice Department

or a cybercrime investigator in the FBI? These are the only people in the country who can legally handle that evidence, and it's not an issue. And so I don't know to what extent, you know, that's a problem, but, you know, it is certainly an avenue that could be abused. Boy, Marty, you're doing amazing work. And I want to show, if I can once more, sir, your Twitter handle is at Marty Gottesfeld. And just for the work you did helping Justina Pelletier alone, I hope people pay attention to you. I hope you've been approached by some folks who can continue to spread the word about your work and with your continuing work

at Substack. This is excellent. It's just excellent to see it's Marty G reports, everybody. And I don't do it just to like promote it. You know, just like to, as an experiment to see, Oh, how many people are watching? Can we get people to watch or whatever? Marty, I really heartfeltly want to thank you, because like I said, I was out here listening. I was listening to talk radio out of Boston. I saw what you were doing and I found out about it. I could not believe what the authorities so-called did to you. But the fact that you've gone through that,

you've gone through that gauntlet and you have retained and added to the quality of your spirit is just terrific. And I really appreciate that, that you're continuing to try to do good things. You're one of the standouts, Marty, and I really appreciate it very, very much. Thank you. You know, the way I like to say it, the feds told me, well, we don't, we don't like you as an engineer. And I said, well, I'll be a journalist. You'll like me even less. You know, I'm, I'm tremendously grateful. Like I said, to all the survivors of these juvenile, you know, abuse mills that are everywhere in the federal prison system. And that watched out for me for seven years.

And I wouldn't be here. I wouldn't have made it out intact had it not been for their interventions. I'm absolutely very serious about that. And I think it's an irony that the feds didn't consider when they sent me to prison. Like they were unaware that, you know, there's going to be this huge survivor community and they're going to look they're going to watch out for. Yeah. You know, you know, Marty, I mean, it's it's not exactly analogous, but, you know, I when I was speaking with Gerald Salenti on Friday, Gerald had recounted a story about being physically abused by one of the one of his teachers as a kid who really messed up his, his inner ears. And, um, I was, uh, mistreated by one of my teachers, uh, just on a brief instance. Uh, but I'll never forget

the, uh, student, the big so-called troubled kid who stood up for me while I was, you know, sitting in this closet in the dark, this kid was on his feet and he was protesting and he was one of those guys, you know, maybe he was mistreated as a, as a kid by his family, but he had problems himself and we don't know what it was. Uh, but he was dealing with something and it was probably familial and, uh, something the way he was being treated, but he, in his heart, he knew what was right. He knew what was right. And he was not a troublemaking kid. He was just a big kid who had troubles. And I can see how, you know, people if they boy, if and good for those people, you know, standing up for you and doing doing right by you, knowing that you you do doing God's work. I appreciate that very much. Marty, thanks a lot. I'd love to get you on my show sometime. We'll talk about that later on, but yeah, great connection. Great connection. Again, how can people find you on Twitter? Uh, at Marty Gottesfeld on Twitter, uh, facebook.com

slash free Marty G Marty G dot sub stack.com. Uh, we're in our first month at some stack. We're putting up very good numbers. I'm going to keep covering politics, cybersecurity, juvenile rights issues. And, you know, I take my job as a reporter very seriously. You know, I want to bring people the correct facts. I try to do my job as objectively as possible. And you're not going to get it from the mainstream media. I'll tell you that. No, no, that's for sure. You got to be independent. And you are. You've always been. Marty, thanks. I'll contact you. We'll split up now. I'll contact you after the show by phone. And I really, really heartfelt. Thank you so much for your work and for saving that young woman and, you know, do it even more. I really appreciate it, Marty. Thanks.

Thank you, Gardner. And thank you to everyone in the audience. You got it You're listening to The David Knight Show. Well, I'm just about time for us to go. And I want to thank everyone for watching. And remember, if you want to contribute to the program, For the Love of the Road has been nice enough to say that he will match your donations up to $200 per day here on The David Knight Show in Rockfin and Rumble.

I want to thank you also for being there. Everyone really appreciate it. And narrow way, narrow gate. Great to have you there.

It's just, this is great. Yeah. I see a comment over on Rumble from Narrow Way, Narrow Gate about how difficult it makes the children who get attacked like this be able to find God and find the ability to forgive.

I mean, there's so many things that they must have to deal with. You know, we'll continue talking about this tonight on Liberty Conspiracy Live. And I really appreciate you joining me. Obviously, you can see I'm flicking some buttons. There's so many things that we could discuss now, but it is time to close off the program. And I want to thank so many of the folks again, David and the family for being so wonderful to invite me here. Tony Arterburn of Wise Wolf Gold and Silver Exchange, because Tony really is the guy who gave me all sorts of great advice on how to get started on all the tech.

If you want to get prepared for what seems to be a very quickly approaching, you know what, very quickly approaching economic whirlwind we're going to be experiencing. So with that, I will say fare thee well. Have a great afternoon, one and all. And as the prisoner says in the great television series, I'll see you tonight at six o'clock. If you want to watch over Liberty conspiracy, as the prisoner says, be seeing you one and all. The common man. They created common core and dumb down our children. They created common past to track and control us. Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing.

And the communist future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find at thedavidknightshow.com.

Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing. If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers. Thank you.
