The American Pronunciation Guide Presents ''How to Pronounce Free Minds'' Using free speech to free minds. You're listening to The David Knight Show. The David Knight program. Welcome to the David Knight Show, one and all. I'm Gardner Goldsmith. Getting the opportunity to fill in for David. It's great to have you along for the ride, one and all. Between now and noontime, eastern time, we'll gather together, whether it's on Rumble, Rockfin, DLive, or even on my Twitter feed. Thanks for joining us, live or after the fact.

I want to thank David and his entire family for welcoming me, and I want to thank you for welcoming me and for being interested in the principles of freedom, free will, and morals. We've got a great deal to discuss today. We'll also be joined by our guest Jack Lawson in the 11 o'clock hour. And I'm going to be checking out your opinions about many of the breaking stories of the day. Lots of big things happening today. So welcome to the show, everyone. I hope that you have had a terrific morning thus far. And again, I want to thank David Knight and his family for just being amazingly generous and so kind to welcome me to the show, to fill in for a few days while David and the family get together and travel, travel by car many miles south to where it's going to be a lot hotter. And they're going to be getting together with family and friends for a wedding.

Daughters getting married and God bless them all. I've been praying about that and just thinking about it very, very much. I'm Gardner Goldsmith. And if you're not familiar with my work, well, I would welcome you. Feel free to check out the great team at mrctv.org. That's mrctv.org. That's the Media Research Center's television arm. Eric Scheiner is the director. And he's actually a couple of towns over from me right now here in Southern New Hampshire. He's visiting with family. And he is just incredibly gracious. And in fact, I'll be showing you one of the terrific productions they put together based on some of my work a little bit later in the program.

And I welcome your comments on it. You can find them again at mrctv.org. And if you found me because of my work over there, thank you for doing so. Really appreciate it. Hey, let's find out what's going to be on tap on the program today, everybody. On this, the David Knight Show, July 26, 2023 edition. Wow. Amazing. Heading towards the final days of July of 2023.

I hope your summer has been great. And we've got a lot to discuss today, my friends. Boy, it's just going to be amazing. Today, we're going to talk about, well, first, we're going to have a news flash. Then we're going to discuss archers' arrows. Hmm, what's in that quiver and what will be fired? We don't really want to use the term fire for arrows. Fire is supposed to be used for things with gunpowder.

What will be released from those bows? We'll also talk about Kamala Harris's towering hypocrisy, everybody, as she attacked, of course, she had to attack Ron DeSantis down in Florida. I'm no gunner for Ron DeSantis, but when it comes to sniffing out hypocrisy, I think maybe that stench is causing me to get energized. Yes, indeed. Sort of like smelling coffee. I don't drink coffee, but even the smell smells wonderful. then we're going to discuss the Bank of International Settlements as it readies the Mark of the Beast. And when I prepared this little sign for today's program last night, I was putting things together and so on. And I thought, is it Mark of the Beast or Mark of the Best? I was chatting with Travis.

And Travis, thank you so much for getting everything all prepared today for me, with me. And just fantastic. He was with me last night for about an hour on the phone. We went through everything, made sure everything was all set today for me, with me, and just fantastic. He was with me last night for about an hour on the phone. We went through everything, made sure everything was all set up for them, because I want to make sure I'm doing a good job for David and the family and for you, the audience. So Travis was really, really helpful. What a great, great guy. And we had a great conversation on Sunday, too. I told him, I was like, boy, it was like listening to one of the best sermons. Just the ideas that flow out of him are amazing, amazing stuff. So yeah, then we're going to talk

about a few other items that have to do with the mark of the beast. But I was wondering, could it be mark of the best? Is that the way they're going to sell it to us? Like, no, no, it's great. It's great. You want to be the best, don't you? Right? You want to be simply the best like Tina Turner. So take the mark of the beast. It's not the mark of the beast. We're just going to rephrase it. It's mark of the best. Go for it. And along those lines, Jack Lawson and I will be speaking in the 11 o'clock hour. As Jack joins us, you're probably familiar with his incredible work. In fact, we'll show you the cover and so on of his two volume work on how to prepare for emergencies, relocation and things like that. I'll show you the website. But today, Jack and I are going to focus specifically on what Jack and I see coming.

And you probably as well and many of your friends as well, see coming on the economic front. And that ties into that Bank of International Settlements story. Just absolutely stunning what has not been noticed by the pop media, because this Bank of International Settlements information has been out there for a number of weeks. And I want to hand it to the folks at Redacted. In fact, I'm going to show you some segments from Redacted. They're on every Monday through Thursday, starting at 4 p.m. Eastern time. And if you watch them on Rumble, that's where they aren't censored. So I would watch the Redacted team.

It's Natalie Morris and Clayton Morris, and he formerly from Fox News. She formerly a CBS reporter. And they're just terrific. They're really great. They've been consistent about the NATO warmongering and overthrow of Ukraine. The just vast amounts of graft and corruption involved there, including more money. We'll tell you more about that. It's like living color.

More money, more money, more money. More money going out there in military hardware and assistance. And it's all coming from you and your progeny. They have been great on that. They've been great on the jabs and the jab passports. And again, nailing it. Some of the first people to really dig into this Bank of International Settlements set off some of my alarm bells. And we'll talk about that as well. So I want to welcome everyone, and I want to thank everyone for being in the chat. We're going to check out the Rockfin chat and see what's going on there. We'll check out the Rumble chat as well. And I want to remind everybody that for the next, I believe, and let me know if I've got this wrong, I believe for the next four days, for the love of the road, viewer for the love of the

road, has promised to match up to $200 in donations each day, I believe, for the David Knight show. So I hope you get to check that out. And if you get the opportunity, if you'd like to donate, everything will go to David and the team. So please do check that out. It's going to be very, very valuable for them as they approach the end of the month. And of course, it's all listener supported. That's where it comes from.

So thank you for being around everybody. All right, so let's find out what's going on for the news as we said we've got all of these things happening and on my program which i do on rock fin on rumble at six o'clock monday through friday i like to start things off by doing the news flash so we're going to do that now it's going to be our news flash and And I'm looking forward to this because I get to show you something. Usually, I bring in Queen doing the Flash Gordon theme. But this time, we got a little something different. This time, it's quick news.

And it's this. What is this all about? We'll give it to you. Here we go. Wait a minute. I know you guys you're from the news flash and if you're not aware of it some people are aware of it that guy on the left in the white face paint and the long wig uh that's me. That was me in college, just as I graduated college. They actually had me put on a bald thing underneath that wig

for a certain period of time for one shot. Now I don't have to worry about it. I'm all shamed. And it was amazing. You'd see it's sort of blurry in this shot, but they repainted the interior of this place, which was on Gardner Street in Boston, of all things. It was my friend Carter Blanchard and my friend Compton Broadhead. They did a short little film called Skippy Binderman, and they lived on Gardner Street in Boston, in Alston, right around the corner from Blanchard's Liquors, which is pretty interesting.

So Carter Blanchard and Gardner Goldsmith did a film right around the corner from Blanchard's Liquors, which is pretty interesting. So Carter Blanchard and Gardner Goldsmith did a film right around the corner from Blanchard's Liquors on Gardner Street. And, of course, Gardner Street is named after the Gardner family. They came over on the Mayflower. So, everybody, it's time. We're going to hit this right now. Let's get into our quick, super-fast news flash, and that means we need a theme. Yeah, so let's go with some of that very, very quick news on the war front. Go to antiwar.com right off the bat, everybody.

And here it is. As I mentioned, U.S. announces $400 million, more money, more money, more money in arms package for Ukraine. Yep. The package includes ammunition for artillery and air defense systems. After the United States and NATO completely broke. And you might have seen RFK Jr. talking with Sean Hannity about this. I've got some footage on that. You might have seen him mentioning, oh, by the way, Sean, why are you gunning so much for the United States to get involved backing Ukraine when it is United States and NATO that have pushed Russia with the expansion of NATO into the Baltic

region and the Iron Curtain states that have pushed Russia to take this action when it was the United States that overthrew the elected government of Ukraine at the end of 2013. The Biden administration on Tuesday announced a new $400 million weapons package for Ukraine that includes ammunition for artillery and air defense systems, anti-tank weapons, and other types of equipment. Yeah, you know, just following up two weeks ago, their delivery of cluster bombs. That's awesome. Also, you might be familiar with the fact that just yesterday,

we found out about this major escalation as Russian jet strikes U.S. Reaper drone in Syria. Very dramatic music coming to us from the Hindustan Times, but there it is. Escalation in Syria as U.S. reports Russian strong U.S. Air Force fumes. To give you a few more details, a Russian fighter flew within a few meters of a U.S. drone over Syria and fired flares at it. Now, I know, I know, you might be wondering to yourself, you might be saying, Hey, Gardner, why would the United States be involving itself in Syria? Well, I know, I know, you just don't seem to understand what defense means. See, as George Orwell might have told you if you went into ISIS, you know, and and John want a senator from Arizona over in Turkey? You know, that's where he belongs. Absolutely. Right. I'm sure the founders would have been proud of that.

So, yeah, after they handled all that stuff and of course, after they tried to get their weapons from Libya, where they overthrew the government of Libya, we came. You saw he died. Isn't she charming? Yes, Hillary, we heard you. Yeah, after they overthrew the government of Libya, they wanted to ship some of those weapons off to Syria. As we have noted many times on my program, and as David Knight, I'm sure, has brought up, Seymour Hersh has written extensively

about the U.S. weapons smuggling all in that region throughout the rat lines that went from Qatar into places like Turkey and Libya. They tried to get them up into Syria. And gee, look at this. The United States is still there. And even Donald Trump, who supposedly was going to get out of Syria and stop the warmongering in Syria. No, he actually proudly announced, we're sitting on the oil area. We've got the best area of Syria. It's the best oil. It's the best international occupation we've ever seen. I might even put a Mar-a-Lago there. It's going to be great. It's going to be, you're going to love it. You're going to come for

vacation. Everybody's going to have to wear a blue suit jacket and red tie. It's going to be awesome. It's going to be great. And if anybody doesn't want to give up their property for my new hotel, I'll use eminent domain. I'll get the government to take their property. It'll be really great. And then perhaps they'll make a Pixar film about it. Okay.

Thank you very much. So there it is. That just shows you how peaceful the United States is. Russian fighter flew within a few meters of the U.S. drone over Syria and fired flares at it. Yes, indeed, indeed. The Russian fighter damaged the American drone after striking it, the U.S. military said. Yeah. So I know you're very proud of that.

And, of course, it ties back into what the U.S. government is doing, continuing to do in Ukraine. And there is this also from anti-war. Dave DeCamp and the anti-war team are doing amazing work. As I mentioned, the U.S. State Department says it will not cut military aid for the state of Israel after judicial overhaul vote. Now, how dare you ever be critical of Israel if you live in the state of Florida? Remember that now. Now, I'm being critical of Ron DeSantis because Ron DeSantis deserves that criticism. Two positions, two statutes that he signed in Israel, one of which makes it a crime to criticize the state of Israel. And the other of which makes it a crime.

And of course, they call it anti-Semitic, you know, to criticize a political entity. That's anti-Semitic. Another is to hand out leaflets on, well, actually, that's part of the same statute, to hand out leaflets on college campuses that are critical of Israel. And the other is if you damage someone's property and the government deems, let's say your graffiti to be anti-Semitic, then they're going to give you an added penalty. So, you know, you could be anti-Asian or anti-whatever, but if it's anti-Semitic, that's where they're really going to come down on you. Now, some people say, oh, you're misinterpreting that, Gard.

Well, what's curious about it is, and they'll say other people might get upset at Ron DeSantis and say, how can he do that? There's the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. And I often try to tell people that is actually not pertinent to state policy. The state policy is only to be adjudged when it comes to speech abridging the freedom of speech or the free practice thereof or of journalism or of free association or to ask redress of grievances. Right. Only Congress. Right. Which, of course, would mean that the FCC should be completely eliminated and all the other types of things that the federal government has been doing and say, oh, you know, silencing us on social media, all those things, Section 230, all the debates about that, the FBI paying Twitter to silence us, those sorts of things should also be completely eliminated. And hopefully we'll talk about the FBI coming up very soon, either today or tomorrow. I'm thinking of doing it in tomorrow's show. If

you didn't get David's, get to watch David's interview yesterday with a former member of the FBI talking about the corruption within the FBI and the FISA so-called warrants, which aren't real warrants. And the section that the government has used, section 702, to spy on people in the United States. Please watch that. Check out David's amazing interview about that and that man's book. But we know that the FBI was paying Twitter to silence people like you and me. So this is a big deal. And this Israel story, State Department says U.S. won't cut military aid for Israel after judicial overhaul vote. Well, it just begs the question, why should the United States taxpayer be funding the state of Israel? I don't get it.

As they say here, and Dave DeCamp does it again, the U.S. provides Israel with $3.8 billion in military aid each year. Now, some people like Sean Hannity and others who are big boosters of Israel, whatever party they might be in, they constantly say, they're our greatest ally in the Middle East. We've got to support Israel. And I always ask, what is this we? Why are you using the pronoun of forced inclusion, especially when supposedly you're a conservative, say Sean Hannity or someone like that? You're supposedly a conservative who believes in the sanctity of the U.S. Constitution. Well, let's go back to Florida. If the Congress is forbidden from speech codes, what about the states? Well, in this case, if you look at the Florida Constitution, which is what is pertinent there, that also ensures the freedom of speech.

So I talked about it on my program as well. U.S. Constitution by signing that those documents to suppress criticism of the state of Israel and depict it as somehow anti-Semitic and somehow racist or something like that, which is, you know, typically I thought that that was the sort of thing that we saw leftists doing. Leftists would use that sort of broad brush, blackballing of people, claiming that they were something they weren't, you know, sort of like what they tried to do with RFK Jr. recently. And many Republicans correctly defended him for actually speaking about the science that is behind the so-called science, the scientific efforts that have been made with our tax money to develop gene-based specific racially targeting bioweapons. And I brought that up on my program. You can look up, there are reports that have already come out about it from the Wall Street Journal. There's documentation

about it. And I used to work in a blood research facility doing the data entry when I was in college, where my sister was in the lab back in the eighties. And I was familiar with genetic subsets where of course there are certain types of diseases that are prevalent for certain types of racial minorities. So, for example, pemphigus vulgaris, which affects the throat, is really only prevalent among Jewish people. Sickle cell anemia is something that mostly only Black African people get. It's just the way that it is because of the way that the different racial groups have bred internally, especially among Jewish people, pemphigus vulgaris, you really don't see it outside of Jewish people.

So we were studying the sixth chromosome of the DNA. And I learned very quickly about the term haplotype, which they call haplogroup now. And haplogroup is just, you know, genetic subsets. So RFK Jr. was 100% right. The Republicans defended RFK Jr. and said he was just talking about scientific information. Now, why is it that if they can defend a guy like RFK Jr. there, a Republican like DeSantis won't be criticized when he's actually signing bills that stifle people's speech and erroneously

might label them as racist, anti-Jewish people for criticizing something like what you see on the screen, that $3.8 billion in military aid going to a state, which by the way, is not a free type state at all. Israel is massively, massively welfarist and very, very fascist. They play a lot of games there and it is not at all a free market or freedom oriented place. Yes, you do get pockets of religious freedom there. You will get Islamic people, you will get Christian people and so on walking the streets in Israel. Yes, you will. But when it comes to spending of government money, when it comes to welfare systems, when it comes to corporatism, Israel is right up there with the United States as being incredibly fascist and incredibly socialist. So wanted to make sure that

I brought that up to you, because as we hear so much about what's been going on with the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and whether or anti-war, is going to be sending $400 million more in an arms package to Ukraine. They're going to continue military aid for Israel. And we saw this major escalation over Syria. So just one final thing I'll give to you folks. If you want a nice piece of music and you're not familiar with this band, check out, you talk about drones, that Reaper drone over Syria. Many years ago from Muse, eight years ago, they did their song Reapers. And here is just a little bit.

Yes, indeed. Great video. You want to Watch it now. Yep. Muse is a great band. You get to see them live. They're pro-liberty, and they seem like really good guys. All right.

So let's get into a couple other of our major stories, everybody. It's time to get into U.S. contemporary political stuff, and for that, we need another theme. I think, yes. What a fun show. As I mentioned on my show on Rockfin, and by the way, if you're looking for that, it's Liberty Conspiracy. Liberty Conspiracy on Rockfin, on Rumble,

and you can find me on Twitter, at Guard Goldsmith. That's at guard goldsmith and thank you again you know sometimes when you're doing a fill-in like that you're not really sure you know what you should mention and what you shouldn't mention and things like that things slip by you because you want to focus on you know the technology and the stories stories and technology in the audience and uh so yeah if you want to visit me over at Twitter, it's at Guard Goldsmith. So let's talk a lot more about some of these legal matters for the Bidens. First off, we're going to go over to my Twitter feed because you might have seen that the Bidens are right now starting to be called out for Joe

Biden's claim that he never spoke with his son about his son's business dealings. Well, and I actually was going to play the theme for that TV show Archer. Yeah, I had that theme going as well, because as you might know, Hunter Biden's partner, Devin Archer, is going to speak, and it doesn't look like Joe Biden's statements are holding up. So I'm going to show you on my Twitter feed a slew of these stories, and then we're going to concentrate on some of these. There's one. Guy Benson. The White House's slippery alteration of talking points on the president's previous lies regarding his family's overseas business dealings should be a major red flag to journalists who claim to care about accountability and truth. And they have a panel and he was on the panel. And we'll show you a little more. That's a good one. Nice short one.

Whoa, what's this one? Oh, what's this? The House Republicans put out in 2019, Joe Biden claimed that there was no indication of any conflict of interest regarding his role as vice president in charge of policy in Ukraine and Hunter Biden's position in Burisma, a Ukrainian natural gas firm. Now, I don't say this to be partisan or anything like that. I just want to bring up the amazing corruption from the United States getting involved with spreading NATO, expanding NATO, and then eventually overthrowing the government of Ukraine. And part of the major reason for that was they had a reelection in late 2013 of a man named Yanukovych. He was very closely tied to the Russians. In fact, he

accepted a Russian subsidy of, I think it was between 12, it might've been $20 billion just after he got reelected. And then all of a sudden there was this coup. There was this thing they called the Maidan Revolution. Very proud. And if you look into it, you find out that a bunch of George Soros funded splinter groups and the U.S. State Department were involved in getting rid of Yanukovych and replacing Yanukovych with the people that, oh, you might have heard Victoria Nuland and Jeffrey Pyatt talking about on the phone in that infamous F the EU conversation. The F the EU section got the bulk of the attention, while the actual substance of what they were discussing, which was putting in a guy named Jaksinyuk and associating him with the head of the neo-Nazi Slovodov party, a guy named Chianny Bak and others,

as sort of a coalition behind him. That was part of that phone call too. And I was reporting on the changes, the so-called organic changes in late 2013, as I've mentioned to my audience, a former member of the Obama administration actually approached me in December of 2013 and said, hey, guard, where are you getting your information about Ukraine? And I said, well, I'm just doing research because I was doing a podcast at that time. And he said, well, you're right. He left. He had worked for their Justice Department. He left after a few months.

And it was just before the word about Fast and Furious came out with Eric Holder. So obviously he was not pleased by what he discovered in Eric Holder's offices and amongst that crew. So he said, well, you're right. And there's a lot more. And I said, oh, really? Like what? And he said, now, and as I mentioned to my audience, I don't know whether he was playing up the drama, but he said, you know, I think that's about all I'm going to say. I have a daughter now. So there you go. Let's go back to this wonderful Twitter thing from the House Republicans.

And they did a decent job here covering the facts. Last week, we learned of allegations from a highly credible source that Burisma was paying the Bidens millions of dollars in exchange for their help in getting the Ukrainian prosecutor investigating the company fired. Yeah, son of a B, he got fired, as we have heard Joe Biden talk about when he was at the IMF. Let's check out this. And again, got to hand it to Miranda Devine. Miranda has done great work on this. She covered the Hunter laptop for the New York Post and she got excoriated for it, but she was proven right. And this coming from RNC Research, 45 seconds of just delectable information, because of course it's so true. Hunter said the only thing you said to him was, quote, I hope you know what you're doing.

That's exactly right. He's a grown man. What I meant by that quote, I hope you know what you're doing. That's exactly right. He's a grown man. What I meant by that is, I hope you thought this through. I hope you know exactly what you're doing here. Meaning what? That's all I meant. Nothing more than that. Because I've never discussed my business or their business, my sons or daughters.

And I've never discussed them because they know where I have to do my job and that's it. And they have to make their own judgments. Do you understand people say, Joe Biden, he's an experienced politician, statesman, knows the issues of Ukraine. Why didn't he just say to his son, this is one to take a pass on. It may not look good. He was already on the board and he's a grown man. And it turns out he did not do a single thing wrong as everybody's investigated.

Hunter said the only thing you said to him was, you know, at the time. And I told my students, it just totally makes sense that, you know, in this far off land, the largest government corporate energy business should all of a sudden ask the son of the vice president to join their board, a guy who has no experience in this in any way whatsoever. Absolutely. It makes absolute sense. Okay. Oh man, it's just glorious. Just awesome. And by the way, talk about, you know, prevarication and new information coming out and things like that. We're going to get to another little tidbit about our favorite fascist medical overlord, Anthony Fauci, in just a minute from Michael Schellenberger. I think you'll enjoy that as well. But here's a little more from Joe. This is another little brief item. Check this out. So you think that everything that happened was kosher? You know, there's not one single bit of evidence, not one little tiny bit to

just anything done was wrong. You know, I love the way he leans in in that intimidating fashion and this guy is just like uh-huh uh-huh okay yep know that but you keep asking me these questions it's okay he unbelievable i mean talk about mafia style but you keep asking me these questions say hey what's going on all right so let's get on over to none other than the New York Post. Here it is for the New York Post. This is this is glorious. Hunter's a grifter and Joe's a damn liar. Devin Archer's testimony proves it. Well, we have yet to see whether it proves it. Let's check this out. So moments ago, correspondent Jillian Turner pressing the White House on upcoming testimony from former Hunter Biden business associate Devin Archer.

Watch this. Curious if the White House and the president still stand behind his comment that he's never been involved and has never even spoken to his son about his. So I've been asked this question a million times. The answer is not going to change. The answer remains the same. The president was never in business with his son. I just don't have anything else to add. Very interesting. She said he was never in business with his son. He has said he didn't even know what his son was doing. So some gray area there. Okay. All right. So here it is. The White House sharply changed its tune on Monday, saying that Joe Biden was never in business with his son, never in business with his son. For nearly three years, the president has insisted that he didn't know anything at all about Hunter's dodgy foreign grip, let alone do business with him.

Why the change of tune? Because the lies are finally starting to fall apart. On Monday, the Post revealed upcoming bombshell testimony from Hunter Biden's ex-business partner, Devin Archer, who says the first son threw his then VP dad on speaker during shady business calls as many as two dozen times just in Archer's presence. Archer says the president didn't always realize he was on speaker phone. You're going to check out what's happening over in the rumble chat, everybody. And thank you for joining us over there. Really appreciate it. Great to see you all

there and um yeah some people are talking about um uh john mccain and thank you for doing so yeah uh quite a sketchy background from john mccain uh kwd 68 says youtube also removed the video of an interview of uss forestall McCain shipmates who said McCain was showing off and started the fire. They despised him. Join the club. Yeah, so much stuff. I think Amos 37. I'll leave it at this, Amos. And feel free to join us in Rumble or Rockman chat. I think he and Kamala were chosen because they are morons. Yes, indeed. And Narrow Way Narrowgate says, oh, Narrow Way Narrowgate, great, great handle, says, yes, Biden has been for sale for the highest bidder. Yep. Yep.

Mammon is his God and he pursues filthy lucre, erring from the faith and piercing his soul with many arrows. Beautifully stated. Wow. That is great. And thank you all for being there. Remember, everybody, if you do want to donate, as I mentioned, For the Love of the Road will match up to $200 in donations. And I believe it's each day for today and the next three days after this for the David Knight show. And, of course, the family is off to their daughter's wedding, and they're heading south, and I get to fill in. I'm Gardner Goldsmith, and I really appreciate you being there.

For some reason, I can't see the Rockman chat right now. I'm going to try an alternate route to try to see if I can look into the Rockman chat. If you are on Rumble, please let me know. Aaron, thanks for being there in the Rumble chat. Oh, and thank you for the compliment. I really appreciate it. That's great. Yeah. And it's really thanks to the help of David Knight's family. And also I really want to thank Tony Arteburn as well. You know, he got me started with being able to handle a lot of this technology. Tony, of course, of Wise Wolf Gold and Silver Exchange.

You can go to davidknight.gold to prepare. We'll talk more about that when we talk with Jack Lawson. I'm really looking forward to speaking with Jack, but if you want to get gold and silver on a regular basis and by joining forces with others, be able to maximize your investment to be able to get even more silver or more gold because of the Wolf Pack, check out DavidKnight.Gold, DavidKnight.Gold, or go to Wise Wolf

Gold and Silver Exchange. And Tony is just salt of the earth. Absolutely wonderful. Yeah. So just let me know if you can do me a favor, everybody. If we are streaming on Rockfin, I can't see it right now, but it looks like we're good on Rockfin, according to all the tabs and my tech on the backside here. Just let me know on the Rumble side, because I can't see the Rockfin chat. And I'll try to find another way to monitor while I have an opportunity to sort of pull offline and play a couple of video segments. And no, they won't be video segments of me from my college days in white face with a long black wig. And by the way, in that film, Skippy Binderman, my friend Spike and I were supposedly masters of disguise who had escaped from the state penitentiary. One guy, six foot four, 150 pounds, white face and a white tuxedo. And the other guy dressed as a granny smoking a cigar with beard stubble or masters of disguise. It was, it was a fun little bit to do. That was a lot of fun. And those guys are great guys. Carter Blanchard,

what a good dude. So yeah, I I'm uh, also mention if you get the opportunity, everybody, um, the David Knight show is remarkable. And if you do subscribe on subscribe star, that is a, an easy regular way to make sure you can give $5 a month or something like that, uh, to make sure that your contribution is maintained. That's what I do. I subscribe by a subscribed star. And then, you know, occasionally during the week, I'll be in Rockfin and I'll say, oh, I'll donate $5, $10. And also on Rumble, if you donate on Rumble directly at Rumble,

Rumble is waiving its fees. They're not taking a chunk for the rest of the year, as far as I know. So that also is a big help. And it will really help push the Knight family towards that gas gauge being full by the end of the month. And I guess it's sort of my pleasure to be able to do that. Let's turn now to some what I think is is interesting video from Fox News. And I want to give you this one. This is from their morning team.

And let's check it out. And we'll sort of wrap up some of this Archer stuff here, because right now it's just speculative, but it does seem like the wheels are coming off for Hunter and Joe. Talk about what's happening in the news. Devin Archer, who was the, he was on the board of Burisma with Hunter Biden, his best friend, his best friend at the time. He's supposed to testify this week before Congress. We're going to learn more information. But it is being reported by Miranda Devine, who's been all over the story in The New York Post, that Hunter would call his dad on speakerphone when his dad was vice president during the meetings with the foreign business associates of Burisma. Remember, he said, I don't know anything about my son's business

engagements. I don't I don't talk to him about work. But apparently they spoke on speakerphone more than two dozen times. It's a stunning article by Brenda Devine. It is. Here's the cover of it. It says phone a friend. Hunter got Joe on speaker to impress clients. The article goes on to say Hunter Biden would dial in his father, then Vice President Joe Biden on speakerphone into meetings with his overseen business partners, according to testimony expected before Congress this week from Devin Archer, the first son's former best friend. Archer, 48, who is facing jail for his role in $60 million bond fraud,

is scheduled to testify to the House Oversight Committee about meetings he witnessed that were attended by Joe Biden either in person or via speakerphone when Hunter would call his dad and introduce him to foreign business partners or prospective investors. Steve, I mean, the article goes on to say there were moments when it was urgent. We have to get the vice president on the line because, you know, they were being investigated. Something had to happen. And it did. Well, there was Pete exactly right in December of 2015. Hunter, who was sitting on the Burisma board where he was paid eighty three thousand dollars a month, which sounds really good.

After a dinner, after a meeting, he and his friend went to the four seasons wherever they were overseas and then the phone rings a little bit later and it's a barisma guy and he goes hey where are you guys they say we're at the four seasons next thing you know seven drinks outside two ukrainian guys show up and say hey uh hunter the boss wants to talk to i'm paraphrasing a top barisma executive wanted to talk to him ceo and then said uh I just want to pause it there, folks, because you might see over here is the shot of Kelly Ayotte. She's a former senator from New Hampshire, former New Hampshire attorney general. She and I know each other just in passing. The governor of New Hampshire, Chris Sununu, announced that he is not going to run for governor again, which makes me very happy. Kelly Ayotte, she was all set, ready to roll.

It was sort of a surprise from Chris Sununu, but for some reason, within days, I mean, literally like two days later, she has a website, she's ready to go, she's got stuff going, and she's going to be appearing on Fox News all of a sudden. Well, guess not only was Kelly Ayotte working for defense contractors and promoting weapons systems, and she would come on and talk about that on various television programs and so on. We need to get more of those weapons to Ukraine. They absolutely need the weapons to go to Ukraine. I made a video compilation of some of those people who were pushing for more and more weapons to go to Ukraine last year. the military industrial complex after she left the Senate because she got knocked out by a Democrat. Not only that, now she's running for governor again, and she's going to be featured on Fox News. And guess what? Kelly Ayotte was formerly on the board of Fox News until recently, I think, until just recently. Kelly Ayotte was on the board of Fox News. And here's Fox News. Until recently, I think, until just recently, Kelly Ayotte was on the board of Fox News and here's Fox News. So this doesn't mean that I I'm a big fan of Fox News, but, you know, I just wanted to make sure I brought that up.

As you see them bringing up some clearly appropriate information to bring up. But obviously it's got some partisan energy behind it because the Republicans would love to be able to cut down Joe Biden, reduce his power. And I have no problem with people reducing the power of Joe Biden or getting rid of him. That would be great. As far as the political world goes, getting him out of office, that would be great. But I do want to make sure that I bring up that Fox News, as you and I, you know, we all know this, they've got their angle and I see them as unfortunately, you know, not being pro-liberty enough. And they've been very closely tied to many people in the deep state. And, you know, it depends sometimes on the different hosts. Sean Hannity, just constantly a shill. I'll give you an example

of Sean Hannity, everybody. When the U.S. invaded Iraq, I called the Sean Hannity radio program and I said, this is unconstitutional. And he said, I got on the air and he said, what do you mean? And I said, there's no declaration of war. There's no formal. And I'm not. And by the way, I'm a voluntarist anarchist. So I just try to point out to people also that I didn't sign the Constitution. It is the whole system is foist on me. And the idea that I don't flee to some other place where other predators in politics are going to go after me, that doesn't mean that I accept this aggression either. Right. I mean, it's if you're living in a mafia state and all the other areas around you are mafia states, that doesn't mean that you volunteer to be mafioso, right, to be attacked.

They are the ones who swear their oaths to the U.S. Constitution. Sean Hannity is the one who wears his little lapel pin, right, the U.S. They're the ones, Mark Levin, Mark Levin, who constantly talk about the Constitution and, of course, sometimes get things right and many times get things wrong. For example, in an article many years ago, I wrote about Mark Levin claiming that the first U.S. statute that handled immigration was the Alien and Sedition Act. And that completely gets it wrong because there were multiple acts. One had to do with, unconstitutionally so, federalizing the idea of immigrants coming in. And the other, and that was later flipped over, and Thomas Jefferson wrote the Fourth Kentucky Resolve about that, and James Madison wrote about that to say, no, it's a state issue. But in addition,

that the Sedition Act was completely different. It had nothing to do with the immigration issue. That was the one where John Adams got his friends to get a statute passed that said it's a-okay to criticize the vice president, Thomas Jefferson, but you can't criticize the president, which again is contrary to the First Amendment. Then you've got these people claiming, Hannity and Mark Levin, claiming that they're pro-constitutionalists. Well, if they're pro-constitutionalist, then I can ask a question of Sean Hannity and say, there's no declaration of war. He comes back on the air from his studio in New York and he says, well, that depends what your definition of war is. And I said, what are you, Bill Clinton now? It depends on what the meaning of the word is, is. And I said, what are you, Bill Clinton now? It depends on what the meaning of the word is, is. The word war in the Constitution is a capital W. It was a term of so-called art. It meant state

versus state aggression. If you're not going after members, uniformed members of a nation-state military, and you want the president to lead troops, you can't declare war against a nation state, then the Congress has the option of issuing letters of mark and reprisal. That's it. That's all. They didn't do either. And of course, the reason they didn't do that was, as I mentioned on my program, the W. Bush regime sent then White House counsel Alberto Gonzalez to Congress to ask them not to declare war. And they had the option because Ron Paul, who was against military intervention there, if you want to call it military intervention, military aggression there from the U.S., he actually offered a declaration of war. And I think he only got a couple of votes,

like Tom Tancredo voted for it. Ron Paul didn't vote for it. He said, I'm not going to vote for this, but I'll offer the constitutional way to do it. They were all very, very on record and very aware that they were all breaching the constitution when they signed on to George W. Bush's and Alberto Gonzalez's idea. And yet they did it. Every one of them should have been gone. Everyone, George W. Bush, all of them, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, all of them gone, but they were still there. So Kelly Ayotte is part and parcel with the problem. And now she's running for governor of New Hampshire. Just figured I'd bring that up. A couple more seconds of this. Here we go. You call your dad and they put him on speaker and introduce them. And Hunter said, essentially, Burisma needs

our support. Of course, our support sounds like dad and everybody else. Who knows? We're connecting a lot of dots. But what what Mr. Archer says is the vice president spoke whenever he spoke on the phone. Devin Archer said that the vice president, former vice president, now president, spoke in vague pleasantries, you know, like a politician would. But there he is. Devin Archer is in that image standing right next to Joe Biden. Kind of right next to him. There is that guy. Don't know who he is. Joe Biden, of course, when Peter Doocy was out on the campaign trail, what, four years ago? Yeah. Nobody was under oath. So if Peter Doocy asked him a question, is he going to answer the truth? Well, now that we know that he obviously spoke to his son with his overseas business partners

about his overseas business dealings, you know that this montage is full of fibs. How many times have you ever spoken to your son about his overseas business dealings i've never spoken my son about his overseas business did hunter biden commit a crime have you spoken to your son mr president I'm confident. I still think that the stories from the fall about your son, Hunter, were right. It isn't changing.

Like you said, yes, yes, yes. God love you, man. You're a one horse pony. So,

so one horse pony still on paternity leavelee we got it we got uh we got that going so now um want to uh switch gears for you folks and uh hop over into another quick story and uh oh hey by the way everybody uh if you are looking for the rock fin just want to let you know it looks like we were able to go live on Rockfin now. So, yep, looks like things are good. So if you want to hop over into Rockfin, I'm just going to double check on that and make sure that everything is good for going live on Rockfin. And, yep, yep, yep, yeah, yeah, good stuff, everybody. We're going live on Rockfin.

Awesome. So great. If you want to populate Rockfin, feel free. And thank you for hanging. And we got that tech going, too. So this is great. Wow, awesome. So we're at DLive, Rockfin, and Rumble, and also on my Twitter feed.

So thanks for hanging out, everybody. I think we've got everything covered. And we should also be going at Odyssey as well. So, yeah, okay. So let's do a little something different now and hop over into another topic that I think you might find fun. We've got some good music here for you. Of course, the fine folks of David Knight put these music pieces together. you're listening to The David Knight Show.

All right, everybody. And again, thank you so much for being so kind. And also for waiting to be able to get into the Rockfin chat. Please tell your friends and spread the word. If you want to watch over at Rockfin, you can head on over into Rockfin right now and see what's happening over at Rockfin. I really appreciate it. And it would be good. Maybe we'll actually get more people watching now because you'll be spreading the word, spread the links and so on and so forth. Now, I want to talk about Kamala Harris, because you might be

familiar with the fact that of all people, this guy, Vivek Ramaswamy uh posted something that got a lot of coverage on twitter and maybe you thought i don't really pay a lot of attention to to him uh his involvement with dewine in ohio and pushing the jabs and then uh what appears to be pretty confirmed i've seen it in a couple areas and i've i've never seen anything that has dispelled what I learned about this. He worked to have Wikipedia get rid of the information that he worked with DeWine to push the jabs. I think that's really troubling. I didn't see him speaking out about lockdowns, about the anti-constitutional nature of the lockdowns. And just to let you know, if you're not familiar with some of my work, I teach political economics. I've taught the U.S. Constitution and things like that and ethics. And one of the things that is very obvious that happened during the lockdowns was

that every state that engaged in lockdowns, every municipality that engaged in lockdowns ran contrary to what is called the contract clause of the U.S. Constitution. And the contract clause stipulates that no state government can interfere in already agreed to contracts. They can't stop the fulfillment of those contracts. So if you are an employer or if you are an employee, if you are someone who has hired people to come do some work for you or deliver something, whatever it might be, your peaceful interaction with that person can't be interfered with by these politicians. They can't breach the contract. And of course, they wrote that at the time to make sure that under some contingency that someone might come up with in a state legislature, someone wouldn't get elected and then absolve a friend from, say, a bill that can't interfere. So if you've got an agreement that you're going to work for someone and you don't have to wear a mask, then the government can't

tell you in a fascist way, well, we don't own your company. We didn't invest the time in it. We didn't take all that emotional effort and put in all the efforts to learn the skills and risk our capital. We're the government. We are going to tell you they can't do that. If they want to start up something that's a competition in competition and say, hey, we're very, very what we think is safe over here. We're going to make everybody wear a mask. They can offer them themselves in the marketplace and see how people respond. But they can't do this because first, it's immoral. And second, it's, it's prohibited by the contract clause of the U S constitution. Vivek Ramaswamy is running for president of the United States.

Vivek Ramaswamy has not discussed that. I have not heard any presidential candidate discuss that, but he has done one good thing. He has brought this clip up and other people have reported on it. Kamala Harris makes the most powerful case I see in my lifetime. He's very sarcastic against race and gender quotas in government. If only she knew it. Ron DeSantis, not for Ron DeSantis being anti-Florida constitution regarding criticism of the state of Israel, not for that in any way. There's no way she would touch that, right? She's attacking Ron DeSantis because they're going to introduce books in the government-run school system that actually mention the fact that the descendants of slaves are faring better economically than many of their relatives from the original areas from which their families came, were taken, snatched away. Here is her quote. Check it out. And while they do this, check it out. They push forward revisionist history. Just yesterday in the state of Florida, they decided middle school students will be taught that enslaved people benefited from slavery.

They insult us in an attempt to gaslight us and we will not stand for it. Okay, well, there are a few problems with that, obviously. First, I'll mention the smaller problem. But it is more immediate and has more to do with Kamala Harris's own actions. Then we'll talk about Kamala Harris's lies by omission about her family. But when it comes to Kamala Harris's own actions, we know that when she was involved with law enforcement in California, she actually later laughed about threatening to imprison single moms, typically minority members, whatever you might want to make of that. If you want to make hay about race and politics, Kamala, well, then perhaps you might want to address this problem, which is that your aggressive tactics against drug users in California, drug dealers in California, drug possessors in California, obviously could be depicted as targeting a particular set of racial minorities. That's not good for somebody who spouts the race game, right? Who plays that race baiting game. That's not good. It's also not good that you don't actually bring up the fact that your family benefited in Jamaica from the slave trade, that someone who was one of your ancestors was one of the biggest slave

traders in the history of Jamaica. So let's just check that out right now. We'll take the opportunity to look at some of that background and see a little bit about Kamala Harris. Here's the John Locke Foundation, Elections and Public Integrity, Harris and Slaves. And they refer to the Washington Free Beacon. So let's hop over to the Washington Free Beacon because this is the original piece. They compliment the author, Brent Scherer. Senator Kamala Harris, this from July 9th, not too long ago, 2019. I don't know, maybe her long-term memory is not that good. Senator Kamala Harris, Democrat of California, is the descendant of an Irishman who owned a slave plantation in Jamaica, according to her father's lengthy ancestral summary of his side of the family. Donald Harris, a Stanford University economics professor, revealed in 2018 that his grandmother was a descendant of Hamilton Brown, the namesake of Brownstown in Northern Jamaica. Quote, my roots go back within my lifetime to my paternal grandmother, Miss Chrissy, nay Christina Brown,

descendant of Hamilton Brown, who is on record as plantation and slave owner and founder of Brownstown, he wrote in a post for Jamaica Global. Hamilton Brown built the town's local Anglican church, which is where Professor Harris says his grandfather is buried. It is also where he himself was baptized and confirmed. A research archive of Jamaican records indicate that at one point in 1817, Hamilton Brown owned scores of slaves. The majority were brought in from Africa, though he also owned many Creole slaves. All right, now, what's at issue here is this. This story from Olivia Land from the New York Post. Give this to you from July 20th, a few days ago. A new curriculum for African-American history approved by the Florida Board of Education includes a lesson that teaches slavery had, quote, personal benefits.

The board unanimously approved the education program at a Wednesday meeting in Orlando after a tense, more than hour-long period of public comment. Wow, isn't that great? That's according to the Tallahassee Democrat. So, you know, let's just, you know, put the shoe on the other foot here, because this is where we get to talk about political economics and ethics and how they're really one and the same. I mentioned in a piece that I'll show you in just a little while the definitions of morals and ethics, and that has to do with something to do with Hunter Biden's lawyer. We'll go back to the Perry Mason theme for that. But when we look at that hour-long public commentary period, this is for all of

the public schools and charter schools, which are sucker fish onto the public school system in Florida, which is just the absolute wrong way to go. As much as Milton Friedman thought it would be great to have charter schools because they might introduce some concept of competition, the charter schools, and I taught at a charter school, the charter schools not only are dependent on state funding, they then have a board and the board becomes a political wrestling ring. And as I was there, many people started to find that the angling to get on the board and change the direction of this school, which was called the Founders Academy, started to become very prominent and very intense. This is what happens. It corrupts because public schooling forces

everybody to pay for it. Now, to varying degrees, some very wealthy people might be paying much more even though they don't have kids in the system, even though they might not like the curriculum, and this gets us to the economics of it. You had an hour of public comment about what the entire state was going to do. So if we wear the other shoes, we can see that even though Kamala Harris might be a hypocrite, maybe she's upset and maybe she's incorrect about the argument about slavery. And we'll look into that in just a little while. Maybe it did benefit people, relatively speaking, which is a weird thing to say. Maybe the descendants of the slaves are in better positions than if they were descendants of non-slaves. But it's really a non-starter. You can't really compare those. It's apples to oranges.

They're the descendants of slaves. Right. But what's really the key thing that I think can be resolved here is the lesson that comes out of this. And I often try to try to do this in my pieces for MRCTV. And I'd love to get your thoughts. And we'll be able to check out the Rockfin chat in just a little while as well. This is the problem of what's called the tragedy of the commons. And in economics, the tragedy of the commons usually is most efficiently applied to most easily applied and studied by looking at government run systems. Anywhere where you don't have a private property incentive, where you don't have private ownership, you find if it's open to everybody, everybody tries to go in. This is when we don't even really look at the term politics or government. But if something is open, a resource is open to everybody, then everyone will go in and try to take advantage of it very, very early and get where they rent out the land to tree harvesters or oil people

or even people to preserve natural resources. What you need to do is eliminate that possibility that people are going to go in there and try to take advantage of it as quickly as possible. When government gets involved and you have a government-run education system, it introduces the tragedy of the commons because, as Frederick Bostiaz said, the state is that great fiction by which everyone tries to live off of everyone else. And so everyone will try to get what they can out of that public system because, especially in the government paradigm, they feel as if, well, I have had my money taken from me and I want to be able to direct where that money goes. It's already an immoral imposition to take my money. That's already a breach of ethics. Now you're telling me I can't even have a say over that? You're just a

thief. How can you do that? And of course, David Knight has spoken about this many times on his program, talking about the ethics of private property retention, the importance of this, going all the way back to the Ten Commandments in the Old Testament, right? And yet the government, which is supposedly there to stop people from stealing from you, to protect you from theft and aggression, is the machinery of theft and aggression. That's what it is. And so when people see this in Florida, many people have a lot of different opinions. And this goes even towards people who I think are crazily arguing that kids 10 years old should be taught trans stuff in schools. If someone's money is being taken from him or her and he or she wants that craziness, the taking of the money is the problem.

I don't want to add to this terrible situation by saying, I think it's totally morally acceptable for me to take money from you and direct it in whatever way I see fit. That's not appropriate. And this is the problem. This is what lies at the heart of this debate that everyone is missing. It's not necessarily the debate about what this book might be saying, because there are myriad other books. There are arguments over the classroom size, over the time of day the school will start, over how many hours the kids will be there, how many students per teacher ratio they're going to have, whatever it might be, what the temperature in the school will be, where that temperature will be controlled. I worked in a state college system where literally in the building where we worked, we couldn't control the thermostat. It was

controlled from a central building in the state college system in the state capital. I said to the people there, I was like, we're all all opening windows here can't we just adjust the thermostat and turn on the air conditioning they said oh no no uh that's controlled by the central we were in the city of nashua that's controlled in the city of concord i mean it's totally soviet and yet americans accept it they accept this communistic collectivist idea that everybody should be thrown into the same pool and argue and knife fight with each other over these things. And they literally turn into fights. And at the same time, you get, I think, justifiably concerned parents going to school board meetings and you have the overall umbrella of the federal government now, which since the Carter

administration has been manipulating the education system and handing out money and playing favorites and getting people to go along with certain ideologies and of course Marxist ideologies and they have pushed this on so many so many people for so many years that we are at a point now where they're literally talking about trans agendas in government-run schools, and people can't see the immorality that's at the heart of it. Whatever the topic is, whether it's something that's as inflammatory as that, or it's as inflammatory as slave ownership, and whether or not that benefited generations later, all of these things could be debated away from the force that lies at the heart of it. As Michael Palin said in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, now we see the violence inherent in the system.

I am your king. I didn't vote for you. Well, voting means you're forcing somebody else to do it. Get the government out of it. Get this problem away. You can eliminate this problem if you eliminate the tragedy of the commons. So on this topic of slaves, however, let's go into this. I think you might find this interesting. This comes from the American Institute for Economic Research. And here it is. We go to California. California is ready to put out billions alive today to pay other people alive today for people who aren't alive today and what they did to other people who aren't alive today. And it's in the state of California, which entered the union as a non-slave state,

literally. So this comes to us from the great David R. Henderson, my friend David Henderson. He is the editor of the Fortune Encyclopedia of Economics. And Charles L. Hooper came out on Bastille Day, July 14th, 2023. So just on this topic, and again, this could be something for conversation. This could be something for scholarship. If everybody's anger wasn't inflamed by what has been going on with the fact that they throw everybody together, they use the all-inclusive forced, we, we have to pay for Israel. We have to pay for Ukraine. We have to have one environmental policy covering ANWR. I don't live in Alaska. What do I have to do with that? We have to decide what's going to happen in all Florida schools and have an hour to debate it. And then we're

going to take everybody's money. And if they don't pay, well, guess what? You're going to have enslavement. The surprising beneficiaries of American slavery. Slavery has never been legal in California, but that didn't stop the California Reparations Task Force. In its final report issued on June 29th, it suggested that the state government pay $1.3 million to Californians, that's each, who can demonstrate that they are the descendant of a slave or a freed Black person living in the U.S. prior to 1900. What are they going to do for American Indians, some of whom are still alive, who were put down upon, who were abused by the government of California? What are they going to do about them? What about all the land that was taken from the Lakota Sioux? How about Alcatraz Island, where after the feds left, the Indians moved in in the late 60s, early 70s.

And then the feds created a flotilla and tried to starve them out. And that was the Indian tribe's land. Babies were born there. There's an amazing story about Alcatraz. This payment is to compensate those whose ancestors suffered from chattel slavery and its downstream effects. Is Kamala Harris, she's from California, is she going to add to this thanks to her family? Did she benefit? What's she going to do personally?

Is she going to reach out? Oh, and by the way, what's she going to do about, you know, single moms whom she threatened with prison if their children? I didn't finish that thought, actually. She literally laughed later on about threatening single moms with with prison if the children were tardy from school more than I think three or four times. She laughed about it. Here's the problem, writes the authors at the American Institute for Economic Research, David Henderson. I'm not familiar with Charles Hooper's work. I'll have to check out Charles, but David Henderson's a great guy. So here's the problem. The reparations being proposed will take money from people, the vast majority of whom gained nothing from slavery, and give it to people who benefited immensely from slavery. Who suffered from slavery? The slaves themselves. They were brought from Africa against their will, and they were forced to work without

receiving the full value of their labor. Who gained nothing from slavery, except for the rare person who inherited an estate that slavery enriched, every contemporary non-Black American gained nothing from slavery. Who gained from slavery? Americans of African descent. The late economist Walter E. Williams said that slavery was the worst thing ever to happen to his ancestors, but the best thing ever to happen to him. Why? Because instead of growing up in Guinea-Bissau, Angola, Senegal, Mali, or the Democrat Republic of Congo, he enjoyed the opportunities, wealth, health, security, and freedom of the United States. The descendants of slaves, such as Williams, received the bounty of being born in America.

I wouldn't call it security. The descendants of slaves, such as Williams, received the bounty of being born in America, where the average per capita annual income for blacks is $24,509. While the enslaved people came from a variety of African countries, the five mentioned above have an average annual income of $1,650. Over a hypothetical 40-year career, the difference is hundreds of thousands of dollars. You might think that descendants of slaves suffered a financial loss because the contemporary blacks have an annual income of $17,600 below that of whites, but that's an unrealistic comparison. If it weren't for the

forced relocations of the slave trade, those who would be getting reparations today would be Basau-Guinean, Angolan, Senegalese, Malian, or Congolese, non-American. The task force determined that most of the amount it claims are owed to Black Californians. $966,918 is due to a lower life expectancy. But the task force mistakenly compared Black Californians to white non-Hispanic Californians. The proper comparison is with Black Africans, where life expectancies are about 10 years lower. So I just want to pause there because I do want to make sure that I point out here that I want to give these guys an out. I want to give David and Mr. Hooper the benefit of the doubt to say, I don't think that they were inspired themselves to look at this in a consequentialist utilitarian way.

The immorality, the unethical nature of slavery are clear. And I don't think anybody who was descended from a slave or someone that had wrongdoing done to them would say that, well, I don't feel as bad about what was done to my ancestor because I'm relatively better off, right? Just because I'm in a better position doesn't mean that that slavery in any way was good. They're not saying that. There's no moral equivalency happening here. I think what they're doing is they're going based on the California calculus, which is that this the majority of these reparations are being done because they're comparing the positions of black Californians to other people in the United States. They're saying the population that you in California with your consequentialist made up idea of reparations are producing are actually using the wrong equation. The equivalency that you should be looking at is not with other Americans.

It should be with other people from other countries. However, some people might argue, but the descendants of the whites did better. So that's why you're comparing the whites in the United States. To me, none of this has any relevancy because it's just immoral to take somebody's money when they didn't do anything to anybody else. And you can't say that because you're the offspring of somebody who did something wrong. I had no control over that. I'll give you an example. I saw there was a teacher who used to, she threw me in a closet one time. I hadn't done anything. And I've told the story on my show before where I just shifted my desk so I could see this slide presentation better. And we were

on carpeting and was quiet. She's like, Gardner, get in the closet. She used to do that to punish people. And I was like, what? And she goes, get in the closet. She had this like little first grader chair there. We were in seventh grade. So I was like, what did I do? So I go back and I was like, what? And she goes, get in the closet. She had this little first grader chair there. We were in seventh grade. So I was like, what did I do? So I go back, and I'm sitting there, and the toughest kid in school stood up for me, this guy Matt Van Cleet.

And he's like, what'd you do that for? She goes, sit down, man. He goes, I won't sit down. He wasn't doing anything wrong. She sent him, she goes, you don't sit down. You can go to the office. He goes, I'll go to the office for all of you. He wasn't doing anything.

And then another kid, George Heaney. And I'll never forget these guys. They stood up for me. And George was a troublemaking kid. Matt was the biggest physical human being in the school. He was huge. He must have stayed back once or twice. Matt didn't live a lot longer.

He had some troubles in his life and so on. But I will never forget the quality of character that he showed me was just, I'll never forget that. It gets me choked up and I'm going a little more smoothly on it today, thinking about what Matt did for me and how he stood up for me. I later saw the other kid, George, at a convenience store and I got to hug him and thank him. I said, thanks for doing what you did for me, man. You know, it reminds me of that story of Gerald Salenti. We'll be talking with Gerald about how he got beaten in school and ran home. You know, some teachers, they just shouldn't be doing what they're doing. And I was a quiet kid. I had to

work very hard to become more gregarious and friendly. And it was seeing what those guys did was great. But I just want to bring up, I later saw that teacher and they were pushing for kindergarten in our town. Our town is one of the wealthiest towns in New Hampshire, literally. 97% of the kids in the town went to private kindergarten, but they wanted public kindergarten. And they could have had a bake sale for any kid that wasn't going to kindergarten in our town. And probably the parents could have paid for it anyway. I don't want to assume things. Okay. But it's also not my place to assume that my other neighbor should then pay for these people through the government apparatus, right? That's utterly immoral. And just because we live near each other, it doesn't mean that I have a say over the

earnings of my neighbor. That's insane. So that teacher was there. Now I'm an adult. I'm like, you know, 25, 30. And, you know, I explained some of the statistics regarding the town and that it's not moral to take somebody's money. I explained that, you know, they wanted to have public kindergarten because they were claiming that kids might fall through the cracks. I was like, well, if you actually look at studies, there's there's really not much difference between kids who get even preschool and in public schools and those who don't. It's all evened out later on. They did a Ugandan study on that. My dad was very involved in researching some of that. So and I said, besides, you know, it's it's contrary to the state constitution as well. The state can give benefits to students and so on that they want to give gifts according to the state constitution.

Then I went into the morals of it. And so she said, well, you know, Gardner, somebody paid for your schooling. And I was like, so let me get this straight. You're saying that because I was an unwitting recipient of ill-gotten goods, now I have a moral burden to find all those people and pay them back? That doesn't jibe. I did not make that decision. I had nothing to do with that. And this is even more removed with this reparations nonsense. So just thought I'd bring that up for you. And I want to bring up one other item that I think you might find interesting. When Kamala Harris talks about slavery, let's play this again. Okay. When she talks about slavery, check this out.

And while they do this, check it out. They push forward revisionist history. Just yesterday in the state of Florida, they decided middle school students will be taught that enslaved people benefited from slavery. They insult us in an attempt to gaslight us and we will not stand for it. I see. So she is now using the term gaslighting when, of course, she doesn't mention her own ancestors. She is going to get righteously indignant. I want to welcome everyone in the Rockfin chat. You are powerful. Harps, thank you for being there. John Henry, thank you for being there. Harps, good day, mate. Again, you don't have to save me any of the Vegemite, but I love you, man. You

guys are awesome. Little John, thank you for being there. Aaron Moss, thank you for being there. All of you. We have a great group of people watching in Rockfin, even after there was almost an hour when we weren't on. And that is great. Thank you for spreading the word and continue to send out those links, everybody. Rumble, thank you again. I'm just so honored to be filling in for David Knight. And I hope I'm doing a good job. And I'm just so honored to be filling in for David Knight. And I hope I'm doing a good job. And I want to roll on with something as we continue on this little segment about slavery, reparations in California, and the insulting things that this woman, Kamala Harris, said. I want to ask you in the Rockfin chat, and I want to ask you in Rumble chat, Hal, thank you for being there. Hal Watson, 9000. Kamala is a clone with a K. Yeah. And Owen is there. Narrow, narrow way, narrow gate. The poor kettle has been called black so many times. It wishes it was a different color other than white, brown, yellow, or peach. Yes, so true. In fact, I think it was Travis had a note here.

He and I were speaking last night, and this really applies. And it actually was something else that he was discussing, but it applies here as well. He says, the kettle says, I've noticed a few unsettling things about your hue, pot. I'm not phrasing that right, but yeah, pot says the kettle. I've noticed a few unsettling things about your hue. And yeah, Kamala Harris is just a massive hypocrite. So let's play that again and then watch as we think about it. And I'll put the onus on all of you in Rockfin Chat, Rumble Chat, wherever you might be watching, even on my Twitter stream, if you want to watch over there. Who are the modern slave masters and while they do this check it out they push forward revisionist history just yesterday in the state of florida they decided middle school students will be taught that enslaved people benefited from slavery. They insult us in an attempt to gaslight us, and we will not stand for it.

Okay, so don't forget her family history. Now let's ask that question. Who are the modern slave masters? Here's my friend, Stefan Molyneux. You might be familiar with Stef. Stef and I were on a panel at a Free State Project gathering. I'll say my acquaintance. I don't know Stef that well. But good guy. Pushed off of YouTube early. Was very strongly atheistic until he had a debate with Jay Dyer. And Jay Dyer started, I think, steering him in a slightly different direction. Here is probably, these are segments of Steph's most famous video, The Story of Your Enslavement.

The production on it was done by my friend, John Shaw. Here we go. Oh, and just to let you know, I don't agree with everything that Steph stands for in this video. These are just segments of it. So my apologies to Steph for pulling out segments that I thought were the pertinent ones to answer Kamala Harris. But here we go. And then I'd love to get your thoughts and Rockfin and Rumble. Some people get confused because governments provide health care and water and education and roads. And thus imagine that there is some benevolence at work. Nothing could be further from the reality. Under the democratic model, direct slave ownership has been replaced by the mafia model.

The mafia rarely owns businesses directly, but rather sends thugs around once a month to steal from the business owners. Freedom are preserved because they are profitable to your owners. So let's just go back there. That was one of my cuts. So there's that little bit. We've got a mafia system now. I think very much so. I think Steph hits it very well.

You might call it fascism, but the state is always a mafia. The state is a protection racket. So it's not just that we have a mafia now. The polis has always been a mafia set up because they claim, they who impose themselves on you, claim that their imposition on you, their requirement that you pay them,

that that is for your protection, that that is protecting you. Talk about gaslighting, Kamala. Talk about enslavement. What happens when people in Rumble, when people in Rockfinchette don't want to pay your salary, Kamala, your grand speeches about Florida? What happens when we don't want to pay, Kamala? Are grand speeches about Florida. What happens when we don't want to pay, Kamala? Are we going to get reparations? I don't think so. Owners.

Freedoms are preserved because they are profitable to your owners. So he says your freedoms are preserved because what freedoms you have are preserved because they're profitable to your owners. So he says your freedoms are preserved because what freedoms you have are preserved because they're profitable to your owners. The great challenge of the democratic model is that increases in wealth and freedom threaten the farmers. And the ruling class is initially profit. He means the farmers as in the ones who own the farms, and you are the cattle. This is part of his thing. You are enslaved. You are a cow, a pig on the farm.

And the better you do, the more you want your freedom. Freedom threatened the farmers. The ruling classes initially profit from a relatively free market in capital and labor, but as their livestock become more used to their freedoms and growing wealth, they begin to question why they need rulers at all. Ah well, nobody ever said that human farming was easy. So again, he's depicting the government as the farmers, the bad guys here. Not like, you know, what we saw in the Netherlands and in Ireland as the real farmers today. This is his terminology in the video. Keeping the tax livestock securely in the compounds of the ruling classes is a three-phase process.

The first is to indoctrinate the young through government, quote, education. As the wealth of democratic countries grew, government schools were universally inflicted in order to control the thoughts and souls of the livestock. The second phase is to turn citizens against each other through the creation of dependent livestock. This illusion of freedom is to put some of the livestock on the payroll of the farmer. Those cows that become dependent on the existing hierarchy will then attack any other cows who point out the violence hypocrisy and immorality of human ownership those cows who become dependent upon the stolen largesse of the farmer will violently oppose any questioning of the virtue of human ownership and the intellectual and artistic classes always and forever dependent upon the farmers will say to anyone who demands freedom from ownership

You will harm your fellow cows The livestock are thus kept enclosed By shifting the moral responsibility for the destructiveness of a violent system to those who demand real freedom. Yes, indeed. So you can't question the very paradigm of the government-run schools. You can't question the paradigm of the charter school. You can't say what I earn myself

through voluntary interaction is mine. You can't do that. It's all we, and it's forced on you. To be truly free is both very easy and very hard. We avoid the horror of our enslavement because it is so painful to see it directly. We dance around the endless violence of our dying system because we fear the attacks of our fellow livestock. But we can only be kept in the cages we refuse to see.

Wake up. wake up to see the farm is to leave it pretty good stuff from Stefan Molyneux like that a lot everybody good stuff good stuff little music for the program from David Knight and the team Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, You're listening to The David Knight Show. All right. Great stuff.

Amazing talent from David Knight and the team. And please remember, everybody, that for today and I believe the for Love of the Road will match your donations for the David Knight Show up to $200 each day, I believe. So check that out. Please donate and, of course, help them get their gas gauge to that full level. It's going to be terrific to be able to tell David that everyone hopefully thought I did an okay job on the show. And again, welcome to the Rockman chat. Great to see you there. It's just awesome. I want to turn now,

everybody, to my most recent piece. I talked about the ethics of things. And I want to tell you a little bit about the latest MRCTV video that I had. The difference between morals and ethics, what morals is, what ethics are, is. And Kamala Harris and some of this Hunter Biden stuff. And what I think is really amazing to see. And again, it goes not just to the superficial or the surface immediate stories about Hunter Biden and the Burisma stuff and all those types of things. But to me, it goes towards what is not seen. Frederick Bastia, again, said the key about economics is recognizing that

when the government puts something in front of you, there is a lot of stuff that you're not seeing. So the government will show you the road that they've built, or they'll show you the park they've built. But what you won't see are the multitudinous opportunities that have been lost by so many people who now have their money thrown into that area where everybody's going to be debating it right so you've got now ethical and moral quandaries about people arguing about what the presentation is going to be with their money added to the moral problem of the money being taken from them in the first place and the very assumptive nature of that. Now I want to turn to the MRC TV video that I recently did about Marjorie Taylor Greene's presentation on the House floor just about a week ago. As she questioned this man Ziegler from the IRS special agent, and they discussed the fact that it seemed like the people investigating

the Hunter Biden laptop story and that information were pressured to lay off, were hassled. So you probably see some things flying along here. Want to just give this to you. All right, here we go. Here's the video. I thought you might find this interesting for MRCTV. Of tax-paid federal agents or anything like that. Breaking news from Washington, D.C. indicates that Hunter Biden's high-paid solicitor, Abby Lowell, might be modeling his behavior along

the lines of the New York Times, other leftist media, and the FBI. Just like those august bodies avoided the realness of the Hunter Biden laptop and the evident crimes documented therein, Hunter's lawyer appears eager to avoid the reality of Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene's presentation and questions during her exchange Wednesday, July 19th, with IRS whistleblower Special Agent Joseph Ziegler. Lowell Friday filed an ethics complaint with the House directed at Greene for her actions and statements during the Ziegler conversation. But Lowell seems oblivious to what she actually said and did. He also appears to miss the dark irony of citing ethics when dealing with Hunter and Joe Biden. Hi, everyone. I'm Gardner Goldsmith for MRCTV. And here's the story.

Joe Schofstahl and Jessica Chasma write for Fox News, quote, Abby Lowell, Hunter Biden's attorney, filed an ethics complaint Friday against Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican, after she displayed censored nude photos of the president's son at a committee hearing Wednesday. Those would be photos of Hunter that show him with an alleged prostitute, which, as we all know, seems really, really out of character for the president's son. Continuing, quote, Lowell demanded the Office of Congressional Ethics immediately examine Green's actions, which he called abhorrent behavior that blatantly violates

House ethics rules and standards of official conduct in his message to the watchdog. Yeah, you also can try to wrap your head around the idea that showing the seemingly illegal activity of Lowell's client is abhorrent behavior. But of course, Mr. Lowell has no problem getting paid to represent the man in the actual photos engaging in the behavior Ms. Green showed to Special Agent Ziegler. And the irony and blindness to reality gets even more delicious. Now more than ever, the House has a duty to make loud and clear that it does not endorse, condone, or agree with her outrageous, undignified conduct and brazen violations of the standards of official conduct that do not reflect credibility on the House of

Representatives, Lowell wrote in a letter which The Hill first reported. Indeed, The Hill's Michael Schnell noted the ferocious Mr. Lowell offered even more rhetoric in his letter. Quote, this political stunt by Ms. Green will go down as a historic event unbecoming of any member of Congressell appears eager to avoid the reality of what Ms. Green actually and quite effectively did. In his letter slash complaint, Lowell actually has the audacity to continue denying reality, or perhaps he's trying to reshape it, spewing, quote, none of her actions or statements could possibly be deemed to be part of any legitimate legislative activity, as is clear from both the content of her statements and her conduct and the forum she uses to spew her unhinged rhetoric. Sadly, one suspects that Mr. Lowell appears to have been out of the room when Ms. Green appeared.

Mr. Lowell overlooks the fact that Green repeatedly asked Agent Ziegler if the Biden receipts and tax write-off claims appear to violate the 1910 Man Act, which prohibits cross-state transport of females for the purposes of sex sales. As Fox News notes, quote, Ziegler, that's the agent, testified Wednesday that Hunter Biden itemized a $10,000 deduction on his 2018 tax return for a supposed golf club membership that was actually a sex club membership and that he wrote off payments to prostitutes as business expenses. Marjorie Taylor Greene made sure to bring up that issue and double check with Ziegler about it and he affirmed that the deduction appeared to be not for a golf club membership but for sex solicitation.

Oh, but there's nothing to see there, Mr. Lowell, right? It has nothing to do with the federal government or statutes Mr. Biden as chief executive might possibly enforce through his mountain of tax paid federal agents or anything like that. So when Hunter Biden paid for this woman to do this with him, to travel across state lines from California to Washington, D.C. on June 15th, this is a violation of the Mann Act. This was prostitution.

Now, the video of Ms. Green's exchange with Ziegler is difficult to watch, but she does a good job repeatedly referring to statute. Statute that, evidently, Mr. Lowell would prefer we not see, just like the cloaking in which the pop media and FBI engaged when it came to the laptop itself. Constitutionally, one can cite problems with the Mann Act, since the baseline for the feds is supposed to be handling extradition conflicts between states should a person engaging in criminal activity in one state then travel over state lines. And the Constitution originally wasn't formulated to allow the feds to create assorted federal crimes if the activities occur over state borders. But this

isn't part of their fiery debate. And the other legal minefield of Hunter's business dealings in Ukraine, well, that is also excluded from this battle about ethics. And perhaps most notable about this whole thing is the larger philosophical reality that faces us. It's actually the absurdity of an ethics complaint in Congress itself. You know, in lecture halls, I make sure students understand what the word ethics actually means. And doing that requires us to begin with the word morality. Morality is the internal awareness of what is right and wrong, good and evil. Ethics is the outward projection of one's moral code. Or in other words, ethics is morals in action. It's morals among other people.

As a result, we know that stealing is both immoral and unethical. It's wrong to take something from someone without his or her permission. It is wrong to force someone to pay for what you or I might command or prefer. And this reveals the big lesson, the twisted macro irony. In a political system, a system funded via taxation, people actually are talking about ethics. Seriously. The entire tax-grabbing paradigm is unethical. It's

logically unsupportable, and it is a bleak enslaving farce. And none of that can be denied, no matter how much Mr. Lowell or anyone in politics would like to deny that reality. And if Mr. Lowell complains about Ms. Green, if his complaint actually helps us in any way here, it's to shed light on the larger absurdity of claiming that anything to do with government is ethical. Thanks for watching, one and all. Please like and subscribe. Remember, find us at Rumble where they don't censor us. And thank you to the folks at Rumble for doing

such good work. Give us the thumbs up and share the videos with. So, yeah, I hope you like that presentation. And I want to thank again the wonderful, wonderful team at MRC TV. They're just great people. As you know, I'm not full time with the MRC TV staff and I get to visit with them, that sort of thing. And, you know, visit the offices and they're terrific people. And the work that they do in the videos I shoot and then they go and edit and put the put the sounds and music behind it is just great. And we get to, you know, I'll often say, oh, can you put in a cut of Marjorie Taylor Greene here or do this or that? And it's terrific. And then being able to add to that by doing my Rockfin show. And I should mention it again. If you're looking for Gardner Goldsmith on Twitter, it's at Gard Goldsmith. I'm on Gab as at Gardner Goldsmith. So it's at Gard Goldsmith on Twitter, at Gardner Goldsmith on Gab.

And so being able to fill in for David Knight, and I realized David has such a great audience, and you folks are probably, if you're just discovering my work, I should let you know, because we are probably philosophically inclined, and we would be able to share information and so on. It would be great to get you aboard over as well at my Rockfin channel and my Rumble channel. So at Rumble, you can look up Liberty Conspiracy at Rumble.

And we just started a little bit a couple months ago at Rumble. And on Rockfin, we started up pretty much the first or second week of January. And so you can find Liberty Conspiracy at Rockfin as well. And you can also go to my sub stack. That's something else that I should mention. It's Gardner Goldsmith sub stack. I'll show you what it looks like if you want to check it out.

Every Sunday, I put out what's called the Sunday News Assembly. And I put out usually about 20 stories that have to do with freedom. And you can find a lot of connections there. There'll be more of the links there that allow you to find places like my Rockfin channel and my Gab access and things like that. So Gardner Goldsmith at

dotsubstack.com. I try to populate it with a lot of interesting stuff. We're going to be doing audio podcasts over there that you'll be able to find. And I've started up my own subscribe star, and I'll tell you about that later on. But right now, I want to thank again the David Knight team for letting me come in. Wanted to make sure that I didn't forget to mention the Rockfin channel and also the Rumble channel and the Substack. And to also mention to you, if you do go on Rumble, I want to mention once more the very, very good people at Redacted. Let me show you a screenshot of the Redacted people. Natalie Morris and Clayton Morris, Redacted. Let me show you a screenshot of the Redacted people. Natalie Morris and Clayton Morris, Redacted. They don't live in the United States anymore, actually. They're over in Portugal and they have their kids. They took today off because one of them is celebrating a birthday

and they're wonderful news people. They really care about the news. So please check them out. And now I want to turn to a story that is going to prepare us for our guest coming up. This is what I think is a really big deal. I looked into this thanks to the people at Redacted. And if you do a Google search, let me just make sure I'm getting a little bit of lag there. Good. We're back on that. If you do a Google search and I use Google intentionally because I know that they have incentives and desires philosophically and economically to push certain things up to the top and they manipulate their search engine results. If you look up Bank of International Settlements chip CBDC, just that, you'll find BIS Innovation Hub work on central bank digital currency, central bank digital currencies. 24 central banks will have

digital currencies by that from July 10th. There's a lot of stories about that. So I thought to myself, hmm, this kind of reminds me of our old buddy from almost two years ago, Sally Amarova, the person Joe Biden nominated to be the comptroller of the currency. Remember her? She studied in Moscow State University and is an avowed Marxist and was pushing for, you got it, CBDC, Central Bank Digital Currency. I wrote probably three articles or maybe two articles plus one that used reference to Sally Amarova for MRCTV. And I've done videos about Sally Amarova. You'll find them on the MRCTV Rumble channel. thanks to the redacted team, I got to discover because it turns out that the Bank of International Settlements on the 20th of June released something that is not getting a lot of attention. It is their blueprint for the future monetary system, improving the old, enabling the new.

Remember, these are things that we can already do, such as the FedNow system, where they want to use the wholesale market for banks on their exchanges at the end of the week to somehow claim that they will facilitate easier trade for the banks. And that will be really good for us as a model for, of course, central bank digital currency, because they're going to tell us it will make things easier. It'll make things faster. Well, we can already do that. And we can do it privately if they would leave us alone, but they won't leave us alone because they want to control us. So I want to give a tip of the hat to the really good people at Redacted who you will see are right on top of this. Check it out.

Keeps biting Secret Service members. Yeah, if this was six people now to the hospital because of this. Anyway, we're not going to talk about that. We're going to talk about this, though. Here's a question. Would you let someone implant a microchip into your hand if you would receive $2,000 a month? A month in return for getting a chip put in your hand. You heard me right. We'll give you universal basic income, basically, 2,000 euros, $2,000 a month, if you allow us to put a microchip in your hand.

That's exactly what's about to happen as part of the rollout of the central bank digital currencies. It's a carrot for them to rope you into this mess. We'll get to that part of the story in a minute, the chip implantation process, not the corn chip, as Dan said in our chat, but a actual metallic tracking chip. But a new report just published this week by the Bank for International Settlements explains how our new digital money system is about to work. We've been warning you that this was coming for a long time on this show. Also, we weren't the only ones predicting this. It was predicted in a little book, you might have heard of it, called The Bible,

The Mark of the Beast. For one thing, this new system, this is how this new system would operate. According to them, the Bank for International Settlements, the new reserve currency, forget the dollar as you know it, basically, this will be the new reserve currency, which is how they want to label it and how they are labeling it. This would be used to settle all transactions. As everyone moves away from the U.S. dollar right now, this seems like perfect timing to be moving to this new system. So are they purposefully torpedoing the U.S. dollar in preparation for a global new reserve currency? We'll leave that question hanging. I'd love to

get your thoughts and I'd love to talk to Jack Lawson coming up. He's going to be our guest and we'll talk to him. But a couple more details on this. Personally, I have some thoughts. It's inevitable the U.S. dollar is going to collapse. Any central bank system is prone to inflating its currency to death. That is just the way it's going to work. But I want to show you on the screen there, there's a video with this guy, Hyun Sung Shin, over here. And they go into this. So let's touch base on that right now, get into some of this. One might wonder, right? We don't believe in conspiracy theories around here, but you have to wonder.

It could include the confiscation of all property, physical property. By assigning it, every item would receive a real world, every realworld item would receive its own unique digital token. So what they mean here, folks, is in order to trade, in order to have a CBDC, it's not just your money that will be tokenized. They're going to tokenize items, which will then be monitored when you try to travel. Clayton continues. Very, very smart people here. Good job, Clayton. So what do you guys think about this, right? This idea that they could, I'm not saying they're going to, but your car, your house, all of these sort of physical items that need a token process, you have to get them digitally tokenized in order for you to claim ownership of these items. Right. So in order to buy or sell, they've got to put those into the system as well.

Right. Authentication of ownership. Or selling cars without a digital token. Right. No black market of selling cars. They all have to be tokenized. They all have to have a digital tracking ID to know exactly who owns them through this,

what they call this transparent process. So it's like a blockchain for the world. Right, I mean, it would be on the blockchain, right? Everyone would be given a tokenized digital ID. And I'll explain more about exactly the tokenization process in a moment. But basically, the idea that if you don't comply with this, then we're going to take your property and tokenize it ourselves. Is the permission to get on the government roads. Jason Barker is referring to that in the Rockfin chat.

If you want to join us over there, Aaron Moss is there as well. Continue. Is the idea. And they won't come out and say this, but that's exactly what some people are worried about, is that they would take your items, they would take your physical property and do it for you or confiscate it altogether if you're not willing to comply. And think of it like a like contraband. It would be considered contraband. Imagine trying to go through the airport or airport security with that laptop that you didn't have tokenized. So there's no digital footprint of it. What is that? What is that item that you're carrying there? Why do you have that there? Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't have it registered with the government. I don't have a digital ID for that item. Don't worry. We'll take it off your hands. So your digital wallet, your car, your house, your laptop, your phone, all of it assigned a digital token. Inside those tokens would be a set of rules

for how each item can and cannot be used so that each person can be controlled and conditioned directly by the central bank. You've used your digital wallet to buy your allotment of beef or chicken this month. you're cut off. You're cut off. Your wallet is not limited. Your wallet is now limited until next month. And by the way, you think this is like a conspiracy theory. The Federal Reserve, literally on their website, loves and talks about the benefits of expiring currency, the expiration of currency.

And hey, China's already doing it in part. So there's already limitations and expiration of currency. We already have this. And the Fed is openly talking about this on their website. I think this is a... Absolutely right. And remember, back March last year, President Biden assigned numerous federal agencies to come up with their avenues to get to CBDC. We know that the Federal Reserve approached the six biggest banks, I wrote about this for MRCTV last year, to come up with their ESG so-called charges. charges and they wanted the banks to produce what they thought would be the environmental social governance costs of things like carbon. We know the federal government under the Biden administration raised from the $7 per metric ton of carbon emissions that Donald Trump had for the cost so-called of carbon, which is absurd on its face. And Donald Trump should have been impeached for that criminality, not stopping it. It was $56

per metric ton under Obama. Now it's up to $61 per metric ton. And of course, that is something they all want to incorporate into the digitized monetary system they want for you. And it is inevitable that any central bank system is going to collapse. My brother got married in the hotel, the Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods, where the Bretton Woods Accords were originally signed. And then, of course, the new accords under Nixon were signed and they created the petrodollar. That wasn't going to last very long because of course, any tie between government and money will see the government tell the people who make the money or the government that makes the money, keep making inflated currency that is not connected to anything of value. And it will debase the

buying power of the currency. It happens all the time. It goes all the way back to Roman days when they would call back the silver coins, shave silver off the coins, and then reissue those coins claiming they were the same value. And they weren't. Why? Because they had to pay for their empire. They had to pay for all of the people that they had signed on as sucker fish, as people sucking on the teat of Rome. We'll continue. A dream? Okay, just wait until it happens. Let's actually let them describe. So here is, after this Bank of International Settlements rolled this out last week, here is their tokenization process in their own words.

Just watch sort of the, let me know if you think that this is creepy in any way. Watch. Here we go. Tokenization is more than just a digital representation of money and assets. It involves digital representation on a programmable platform, which means that tokens can incorporate the rules and logic governing transfers, as well as the information about the asset itself. Now, let me ask you a quick question. This is the Bank of International Settlements.

It's supported by virtually every Western government. This is the Bank of International Settlements. It's supported by virtually every Western government. This is not voluntary. This is not something this they're using your money now to produce these theories. They're paying people hundreds of thousands of dollars. They're renting spaces in these office buildings all over the world to come up and produce these ideas. They are incentivizing bankers to get on this. The Bank of International Settlements is the big bank behind which all of this is going to be done because the Bank of International Settlements is where the international governments balance their differentials and the

big central banks balance their differentials. So just like the banks at the end of the week, they have to so-called balance their sheets and they borrow from some banks to others. They do this at the Bank of International Settlements for the national banks. So they're all pushing for this. You're going to be forced to do this. It's not as if you can't do this yourself already. You can facilitate all this stuff yourself, whether it's PayPal or Zelle or whatever it is. Currently, money and other claims reside in separate databases that are connected through third-party messaging systems, meaning that transactions need to be reconciled

separately before being settled with finality. In other words, it's voluntary and you can do with it what you want and it can adjust. If you want something closer and you want to be permanently attached to it, that's up to you. But that's different than what they want. They want to force you to do this. They want to attach you. It's the all-inclusive pronoun we and you have no choice. Tokenization makes all this one seamless operation. Tokenization is well suited to resolve incentive and information problems. Think of an example where a buyer would like to

pay when the goods are delivered, while the seller would like to deliver the goods when a buyer pays. Tokenization can solve this problem by executing both transactions at the Roads. Whether you're on Rumble or you're on Rockfin, please keep that in mind, everybody. I think it's a wonderful thing. Coming up, we'll be speaking about this central bank looming prospect of CBDC and all of the arguments and excuses they make and maybe what we ought to be thinking about to get prepared. Música You're listening to The David Knight Show. All right. Wonderful stuff from David. Boy, I wish I had his talent. And joining us now is a man who deserves a lot of credit, I believe. A man who, if you get the opportunity

to watch the David Knight Show, you've seen him in the past. He is Jack Lawson. And Jack joins us in my first opportunity to speak to Jack, other than just chatting with Jack on the phone. And Jack, I just want to compliment you because our conversation on the phone yesterday

was one of the high points of the day. It was great to commiserate with a kindred spirit. Welcome back to the David Knight Show with an echo of David Knight, Gardner Goldsmith. Thanks so much, Jack. Good to see you. And let's talk a little bit about some of the great things that you have done. We're going to show the audience right now, civildefensemanual.com, how to prepare and protect your neighborhood from disaster, riot, and civil unrest.

Jack, welcome to the program, and thank you for being with us. And I hope that's showed on the screen. I know there's a little bit of a lag. I want to show this again and make sure that this pops up. There we go. All right. Jack, welcome to the show. Thanks for joining us.

How are you? Pretty good. How are you doing? Can you hear me? I can hear you great. And it's always those early tests. Like, thanks for asking. Yeah, yeah.

I'm going to address you by Gardner. I don't know whether the other ones names I suggested would insult you or not. You're doing a great job, by the way. I'm quite interested in you. Like I said yesterday, you have a very engaging voice. So you lead. Tell me what you have for questions. You know, Jack, as you were in the back room there, you might have heard a little bit about what we were discussing regarding the CBDC move, the Bank of International Settlements, and they are getting ready, very ready, to start pushing their so-called blueprint of the future. I'll put it up on the screen with both of us on the side. This came out

the 20th of June, and a lot of people are becoming very, very aware that the United States government and other governments, the Federal Reserve Bank, the Biden administration, Salleh Amarova, who was put up as the comptroller of the currency and then Biden removed her because so many people realized she was an avowed Marxist. But whether it's her or anybody else, these people who are tied to this fascist central government, government run monetary system have driven the dollar into the dumper. Meanwhile, other people are starting to recognize that the value of gold and silver, those retain their values and they're very difficult to inflate. We've got other things like crypto, real crypto, that is also designed algorithmically not to be inflated. So we've got a situation now where the United States government is facing $30 trillion in debt. The amount of debt financing itself is approaching $700 billion just at this point of the year.

So it's going to be close to a trillion at the end of the year, which is what they want the new government-run military spending to be in the National Defense Authorization Act. These pressures are coming down on us, Jack. And I'm very interested as the man who produced both volumes of the Civil Defense Manual and has watched this sort of thing and has many connections with people who are involved with watching economics as part of strategic planning for one's own safety and one's family. Can you tell us, in addition to what you've watched regarding where it's safe to live, the wise areas of getting close to other people who might be resourceful, learning resources yourself, water and food. What are you hearing? Because I know you mentioned some of this to me last night. What are you hearing from people whom you trust about what's coming economically in the United States? Jack Lawson. Gardner, number one, I'll say that I am not any financial expert. However, I've been immersed into this world. I've had a lot of people since I've published this book contact me, some of whom are on a level that I absolutely listen to what they say, work inside big companies, financial gurus, you might want to say. In addition to what I propose and advocate strongly in the Civil Defense Manual, which is self-reliance.

In other words, preparedness. I like to use the term self-reliant. I have a friend on the Internet, Survivorman99, who believes that's a better word, and I agree with him. Self-reliance. In other words, being able to literally shut yourself off from the world on your property, have enough water, food, medicine, proper shelter, heat or cooling to be able to survive a situation.

The additional item I push in the civil defense manual is getting together with your neighbors and organizing to protect your area should things go completely south and there be civil unrest which there's been in the past so people can't say that this is a figment of my imagination. But there's a third component to this, Gardner, and that is the financial aspect. That's actually probably going to be a catalyst for other issues to happen. I'm not hearing good things. When I say good things, people in the country, in America, I don't think this is optimism. I think this is people have their heads buried in

the sand. I think the average person is ignoring the reality of what is coming. I mean, wouldn't you say that? Yeah. Yes, I agree 100%. And part of it is just normalcy bias. They think, well, we've gone through shocks. Our parents went through this and so on and so forth. But the magnitude of what is coming, especially with the U.S. dollar losing its hegemonic status as the petrodollar, which always was highly questionable. But the very concept of government being involved with telling us what money we can use in private exchanges leads to the government taking advantage of that power position and eroding the buying

power of it by printing up more for itself to spend on itself and its cronies to gain power and favoritism. That power and favoritism system, that block has infected so much in U.S. history that virtually your own town and parks and schools are dependent on it. And the more dependent they become, the less valuable the U.S. dollar, so-called Federal Reserve note, has become. But it wouldn't matter if it was the Federal Reserve printing it or it was the U.S. Treasury, just like Rome. They have an incentive to inflate the number of units out there and decrease the buying power of all the units that came before because they need to spend more for their cronies and their favors and their welfarism. And part of that has to do with the United States militarism out there. And we're going to see some people are not very happy.

We've got the BRICS nations that are out there already doing really intense work to try to separate from the United States and attracting more and more people and more and more countries to join them, even as the United States makes it more difficult for us to live, imposing more regulations, making it more difficult to get energy, closing off reserves that the United States government shouldn't even control anyway because it's not constitutional. All of these things are combining, I think, for a time now when if the dollar starts to go down, their only option, I think, Jack, is to switch over to an electronic currency that they can control and they can make us use. They can make us use when they want. They can put time periods on these to say you've got to use this by a particular time or it's going to sunset. And I think that one of the key things combines with what you often have spoken about in Civil Defense Manual 1 and 2, which is to tell people, make contact with like-minded friends, with people who understand morality, with people who understand real value in their trades, and find out what those people value. What do you find people do value during times of hardship, Jack?

Well, absolutely. Two items come to the forefront. One is an immediate need of people, and that's water. Potable, drinkable, safe water. I've read situations where there's been a lack of water in areas and people have done everything from drink antifreeze to motor oil anything liquid without even thinking about it they're so driven virtually mad by thirst that they'll drink things that I don't think people can wrap their mind around what people do. I have gone in the middle of Africa. I've gone thirsty for

three days and March carrying a lot of weight with a whole bunch of other guys who also had no water. And we were at a point, really, not me, but I'd say that I had some of the toughest people I've ever known in my life in my commando, and they were absolutely starting to go out of their mind. We finally got an airdrop of water, and that was like a feeding frenzy among sharks. But water's number one. Second thing you're going to see people want is food. You can survive for, depending on the environment, the heat, whatever.

By the way, when it gets colder, you actually have to hydrate yourself more so than when it's hot. And a lot of people don't understand this. In my book, I have a whole chapter on hypothermia, and it was written by a guy that almost froze to death. But what you need to understand is people have to have food after about three weeks. The mind starts shutting down, especially if you have a total lack of carbohydrates.

You don't have the neurons firing. Literally, your body starts to shut down. Three days for water. After that, you got a problem. Three weeks for food. So those two things. In addition, the very first chapter I put in this book is written by a guy by the name of Selko.

I strongly encourage people to go and look at Selko's information. He lives through this. He lives through a siege of a city in modern-day Europe, and it's absolutely astounding to read what this guy puts out. So you're going to have a lot of people wanting a lot of things, but 95% of people in this country are not prepared for virtually any disruption of the supply train. I have to say one thing. People say, okay, if the grid doesn't go down,

the water system pumps will work. If the computers are functioning, my question's always been this. I can't seem to get a straight answer on any municipal people or any state water people, but what is going to happen if these huge tanker trucks full of chlorine that is used to treat municipal local water systems, what happens when they can't deliver? Are you going to have bureaucrats, mostly local, that are going to put out contaminated water?

Or are they just going to shut it off because they don't want to violate their own city and state and federal laws? So we have a supply train system that is very delicate. And number one, water. Number two, food. Number three, medicines. And number four, shelter. But very few people, I would say that people have more food than they have any reserve of water. So, yeah, yeah, I think you're right. I think a lot of people are, are sort of blithely moving along saying, well, I'll be able to get my water. I've got a well, I can do this, I can do that. And, and of course the water it, it takes up space just like the food, but it's, it's easy to store. You can cycle through it and continue to store it. And it comes in very, very handy. And it's very important. You know, around here in New England, Jack, we run into a lot of problems with power. The power monopoly here in New Hampshire is atrocious.

We had problems just recently with just simple winds. They don't take care of the lines. They don't take care of trees that can get waterlogged. They fall over the lines. And in wintertime, we get ice storms. It's crazy. And so you got to be prepared. And of course, the Biden administration now wants to make it more difficult for people to get gas generators. And all of these things are coming down on us, whether it be the anthropogenic climate change argument that people make. And it's completely spurious. Or it's the idea that the government can tell manufacturers how to make their products and tell us what we can buy. It's really incredible that they can't manage their own house. They're $30 trillion in debt, and yet they want to tell businesses how to run their business

and tell us what we can buy. And Jack, I know that you mentioned to me some information about what China did recently that seems to indicate that the Chinese government can see some bad things coming for the U.S. dollar. And then you and I will talk about, if you're so inclined, we can talk a little bit about financial preparations and separation from the U.S. dollar. But tell us a little bit about what you heard regarding the Chinese and U.S. bonds. About three months ago, I had a conversation with the financial person who told me uh you'd be astounded at what i see coming across my desk he's privy all the communications in his company it's a very very

large company and he told me three months ago that the chinese government who had at one point $1.2 trillion of American financial instruments, mostly treasury bonds, and these are the old 1% ones, they're paying close to 4% now. So it's literally made the 1% Treasury bonds virtually worthless. They took $25 billion. By the way, it's $1.2 trillion. Over the last years, they've been selling this off. They can't sell it all or try to sell it all. It's going to drive the market way down.

So they have to be very careful. All these BRICS nations are doing this. They're getting out of American financial investments. 40% of the stock market is foreign investment, by the way. So that's a dangerous, that's an Achilles heel also. But they took $25 billion in treasury bonds, sold them off for 10 cents on the dollar, and they took that $2.5 billion, and they bought every available ounce of gold they could get, which astounded me that they would dump their treasury bonds for such a small amount.

But the price of gold has been suppressed that they think anything is better than nothing. Now, the other thing I heard was about a month ago that there was such a scurry, people were scurrying around so much countries buying gold and this is spreading into the small countries too that uh there was 1 billion ounces of gold sold in a short period of time and it literally cleaned all available gold out of the market i mean this is there you know everybody says oh yeah i've been hearing this for 20 years. This is different.

This is coming to a climax. And I really believe that between the talk of reducing the population and the talk of financial implosion, I don't know what's going to come next or if one will lead to another. But the bottom line is people need to pull their heads out of the sand and look at what is going on. These are these are movements that have never been seen before. And we're in uncharted financial financial territory. Yeah. And, you know, we're speaking with Jack Lawson here on the David Knight show. I'm Gardner Goldsmith, uh, sitting in for David, who's on a vacation at a wonderful family gathering, a wedding that is going to be coming up. And I want to thank

everyone again. And thank you, Jack, for being so kind to me, uh, and just, uh, so on top of the concepts of freedom and preparation in a Christian way, it really is. It's to your credit. And I wanted to mention, Jack, you know, we touched on this a little bit great, because we can be separated, see the mistakes of others and say, I'm not going to repeat that. with the monetary system, this is very much the case. I go back to that often mentioned by libertarians line, when goods and services don't cross borders, bombs and ammunition cross borders. Very true. Yeah. And I think within certain parameters, certain barriers that these nation state leaders and central bankers have set up, they will resist. They will try to find avenues around things. So, for example, you and I discussed the 2008-2009 American Recovery Act saw around 2009 the start of what was the United States alienating Russia because Russia was pulling out of its long-term bond purchases. And the Chinese did the same thing of U.S. bonds because they could see that there was no reason to buy long-term bonds if the federal government was just going to continue

printing up money to hand out to the states in this dumb Recovery Act concept. Why hold on to the bonds when they're going to get paid back in worthless currency? Right. Gardner. Uh, I, I recently read that there were, I think this was about three or four months ago. There was an offering by the federal reserve of $25 billion in bonds. And there was not one buyer. I mean, who wants to buy these things? We have a polarized country. We have a polarized financial world. We've got about 85% of the world

wants to shed the control. And it isn't so much the American dollar. I think that's becoming worthless. They're very aware of this. But they are so aware of this but they are so tired of us going in and slapping around goat herding countries and banana republics that this heavy-handedness which also uh the military after they enforce something the economic juggernaut comes behind that they're tired of us they're tired of uh

recently i guess uh the ambassador of the to the uh country of pakistan literally got close to getting punched out uh by his represent uh his counterpart over pushing this woke business. Now, this is a Muslim country. They don't want to hear this stuff. And the American ambassador would, I think it was Rahm Emanuel, who used to be the mayor of Chicago, literally would not let up on this. And he was basically told to leave. And the guy got very angry, the Pakistani, his counterpart,

over even the fact that he would not let up on this. People in these countries are tired of this. You know, all is woke. I don't care who does what as long as they're private about it. Keep animals, kids, and goats out of of the thing but the bottom line is this is they're pushing this stuff like it's some type of right they have it is it's it's a sexuality people are tired of this sorry jack sorry no no people are tired of this all over the world they're laughing at us they think it's the silliest thing they've

seen. But when you get somebody laughing at this and then they're getting bombed by us, they get pretty serious. They get angry about this. And I think this polarization has come to the point to where we have a literal tsunami of issues building up because of the movement to a commodities-based world trading currency that's going to exclude the dollar. I also heard the last two months from the person that was telling me about the Chinese selling their treasuries that the Federal Reserve started buying gold as much as they could get their hands on. It's a little late. Too little, too late. Yeah.

So there's $6.3 trillion supposedly in Fort Knox. We've got a 32, almost $32 trillion debt. So, you know, what's that? Five to one. Yeah. We've got some problems coming and i don't think we're going to have years that this plays out i think it's going to be fairly quickly when it does happen i think you're right i would recommend uh as as i mentioned to you i have both volumes of civil defense manual and uh jack why don't you mention to some of the people,

some of the things that are in Civil Defense Manual Volume 1 and Civil Defense Manual Volume 2. And as you mentioned on the website, you have a number of great people who are involved, special operations soldiers and contributing authors. And talk about some of the topics that are in there. And I know, you know, you brought this up before on David's show. And I think we want to sort of fold in this macro idea of we're seeing the end of the British Empire under its new guise. And they're trying to hold on as much as possible by, you know, still being involved with the drug trade. We saw what they were doing to Afghanistan. All of a sudden, the United States leaves Afghanistan and the heroin trade goes down 99% in a giant area in Afghanistan. What a shock. You know, I said, gee, it's almost as if the lime houses are shutting

down on the Thames now, you know? So we see this sort of, I think they are desperate to, and I think they're confident in a way. It's a very strange, it's a very strange duality here because the people who have shifted over from this British empire, Rockefeller, corporatization over the decades in the United States with the central bank's assistance and the government handing out favors, the government handing out special things and projects and being the military industrial complex, the pharmaceutical complex and playing favorites, controlling resources and then saying, okay, you corporation X can do this or that. Also controlling in many ways the networks for so many decades with the FCC putting out their propaganda, using our money to push all sorts of arguments about how the government should do this or that. That is

starting to break apart. And the central bank part of this is seeing, I think, their last step. And they've been planning on it, whether it's through desperation or it's their hope, their continuation of the empire is through the CBDC. And I know I've spoken about this with Tony Arterburn of Wise Wolf Gold and Silver Exchange, DavidKnight.Gold, where people can go DavidKnight.Gold to get connected. I think a lot of gray markets and black markets are going to be necessary. And I would love to get your thoughts on how that mindset, when we look at the large scale, the macro problems, and we say, how do I locally take measures to protect myself? What are we talking about here, Jack, about local connections with people. And if you could comment about tradability and things like that. And then I'd love to sort of add to that. I get a sense, Jack, that there's

a certain threshold beyond which black markets and gray markets cannot grow because then they're going to get attention. So take any of those things and tell me what your thoughts might be on those. Well, Gardner, for one thing, any government that thinks they're going to control totally. There's the saying, follow the money. I also say follow the control mechanism. Who's driving this towards the control and for the obvious reason, to control people. That's a state of desperation. It was in every republic that's ever been around that's faltered at the end. People that are corrupt and start to take the attitude that they're the gods that run things uh they have to

institute control try to defeat the individualism and people every every child that born every person that comes into this world has a certain amount of individual character to them that you're not going to get rid of. The same goes with barter. Barter is a whole different slice of the pie. It would take too long to try to explain it, but you're going to see underground barter. And I think this is one reason they're computerizing also, is they're going to want to know if Gardner took in 2,000 credits this week or whatever it is, how did he end up feeding himself if it takes 10,000 credits a week to come in to feed yourself? How you do it people are going to be asking questions like that they're going to want to know where are you getting the ability to provide for yourself

when you're not using the digital currency that it would be expected that you use. Barter is local. Barter is going to come about. It's going to be probably one of the fastest growing issues. Gold and silver, I think, number one, let's move back to one thing. I think the fact, if they go to this digital currency, I've had a number of talks with people. They said they're going to vacuum the cash dollar bills,

which represents something. They'll vacuum it out of the system. If you go to the bank and you take your cash, you put it into a grocery store till that money goes into the bank and never to be seen again. I think eventually you're going to have people holding on to cash and trading cash paper bills between themselves. It's at least a measure of value in different denominations. In addition to that, you'll

probably start seeing junk silver coins surface. Now, take a quarter that's silver down to a grocery store and show it to the teller and say that's silver, and they'll put it in there, and it's 25 cents worth of current money. At some point, the silver is going to be recognized as being far more valuable, and I think you may have an

underground of junk silver coin and there's there's an awful lot of them in the country uh people are holding these things gold uh uh there there's so many facets involved in how this will go on if there is a paper currency that is uh and it'll have to be uh deflated if there is a paper currency and it's a new american dollar you may be seeing people trade precious metals or any commodity that's tangible uh for new american dollars I don't think you're going to see, I think you're going to pull the cash out of the system. I don't know. What do you think?

How are they going to allow cash to be floating around? You know, Jack, it's interesting you should bring it up because one of my friends, a girl named Debbie, her grandfather was in, he was in the Warsaw ghetto. And the only reason he survived was because they didn't give up their firearms and they fought back. He was able to get out, get out. You look at Ludwig von Mises. Von Mises almost didn't make it over into France. He was on a bus and he and his wife got stopped by border guards. And luckily, I think someone distracted the border guards and they were able to get over into France or someone paid off the border guards or something like that. And I think a little bit about the the networks of the underground. lot of these things we will see, um, locally people will, will come up with certain things

that are common to them, uh, you know, much the way that, uh, money originally arose from things that people found commonly, uh, in common, they found were valuable for barter. Uh, luckily a lot of that experimentation has already happened. So we have the precious metals and things like that, but there will be a lot of local things, whether it be people who have spark plugs for generators or whatever it might be. People have stores of fuel that they can do. People have forest land they can deliver wood for stoves, that sort of thing. A lot of these things. And then those people who have extra space on their land where they can store these things or promise people that they can store these things. People have ammunition. So a lot of these things are going to start to arise

just because if you see examples from Stalin, Soviet Union, from even before that with Lenin, things that people in Ukraine had to do and the underground networks they had to create all the way over into, you know, the, you know, over a decade later in Germany. I think that what we're seeing here is a precursor to that. And I think that the black market, as I mentioned, is only going to be able to survive if it doesn't become too popular. You know, we're not going to have people making a lot of money off of this. We're going to have people surviving. And I don't know where it will lead. I don't know.

Let me say this. The Russians for seven decades tried to stamp out the black market. They were totally unsuccessful. Their so-called Soviet man, which they herald as the new world male, was an absolute failure. I'll tell you this, the best idea people can get of what will happen

is the very first chapter in the civil defense manual by the way i don't sell this on amazon i quit i had too many problems with them there are behind hema they're a nightmare to deal with so i sell it through civil defense manual.com that's my website that's what i sell through and the very first story in this book will tell people what actually happens when the system starts to break down to the point to where the judicial system's gone law enforcement's gone i think one thing you'll see is you'll see the mercenary come to light again. Neighborhoods are going to protect themselves by hiring people who are combat veterans,

and their loyalty will be to their ability for these people to feed them and to give them the basics of life. And I think you'll see a resurgence of this. There are neighborhoods like the one I'm in. I've got a group of guys here in addition to our neighbors, but most of the people are fairly elderly here. There's going to be a change towards local.

When I say local, there's going to be local protection. And I think people need to, I beg people to start storing food and water. I mean, I just didn't write this book. I want to see this country survive. And I don't think America is going to be an easy country to get the control of. Like, I've lived all over the world. The mentality we have here is so totally alien

to the way most people in foreign countries think. We have an individual spirit here that just doesn't go away. And I want to see people survive. I want them to store food, water, medicines, and start preparing for something because when this happens, it'll happen overnight. I certainly don't want people coming to my door and saying, I'm hungry. They're holding a year and a half old child. I don't want it tearing me apart mentally

to think that if I feed them, my wife's from Zimbabwe. She went through this first, firsthand. I'll tell you the story real quick, but I don't want them coming to my door because you have one of three options. You can tell them to go. And that's being pretty hard hearted. You can give them something and tell them to go. Or if you and if you do that and they're they're going to be hungry again, they're going to come back again, and then it's going to start getting nasty. But if they come back with a bunch of people, that's the third issue. If you give them anything, you're advising everybody that, hey, these people have food and water.

My wife, being from Zimbabwe, Africa, went back to help her mother sold her printing corporation. And in the process, she lived through the starvation period that Zimbabwe is still going through to a degree. But my wife comes from a fairly well-to-do family. One day, the gate guard comes up and says, Madame, there's a little girl at the front gate. So my wife went down there, and the gate guard opened the gate, and here's this 10-, 12-year-old girl, filthy, filthy dress and skin and bones. And my wife stood there, and a little girl asked her if she had anything to eat.

And my wife started crying, went to the house, fixed her a big sandwich and gave her a bottle of water. Uh, this is going, everybody was starving in the country at this time. The international aid that was coming in was being sold off. Didn't even go to people. So my wife's mother comes home and course, they've got bodyguards. She comes home in the pickup. I've got a bodyguard driving, and she gets in there, and she's furious that my wife has done this. And so my wife, again, is crying because her mother is berating her about this.

And it wasn't the food. My wife said, well, I'll go without eating tonight. It wasn't the food. My wife said, well, I'll go without eating tonight. It wasn't the food. The next day, there were 200 people at that gate. And this is something people don't realize, the emotional issues that are going to come with this type of thing. I mean, it's going to be damn hard for me to turn away somebody that's got a small child. I mean, but this is a reality of what happens. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's devastating to hear Jack and, um, Jack, you know, I was thinking, um, do you have any thoughts that you might be able to impart to the audience here at the David Knight Show?

You mentioned water and food storage and things like that. What about things like fuel, ammunition, and also the storage of precious metals and things like that? I know that there are various ways and people have tips for storing things like coins. My friend F. Paul Wilson has a character named Repairman Jack. I mentioned F. Paul in our conversation last night in that story he wrote called Aryans in Absinthe about the hyperinflation in Weimar, Germany. And so Paul has a character named Repairman Jack who you never know his last name. He only gets paid in silver or gold or cash, but he prefers silver and gold and he handles problems for people around New York City. And yeah, he's great. He's a repairman of, and what's that?

He sounds like he may be Italian then. They're terrific stories. And you never know in each story whether it's going to be a person-on-person conflict that someone wants repaired or if it's something very strange that might be happening, some supernatural thing. You know what's interesting about this guy's books is people need to pick up novellas like this. They need to read fictional stories because in reading the fictional story, it expands your mind to accept things that you normally can't imagine. And I think this guy's got, got some great books the way it sounds. Yeah. Yeah. You know, it's interesting. You should bring that up, Jack. So I was speaking with, uh, with Travis, David Knight's son.

And, um, uh, we were talking a little bit about, and I've mentioned this to other people because I worked in script writing and television. And I do fiction and things like that. And one of the things that I always found enjoyable is the suspension of disbelief. A great story. You can immerse yourself. I remember reading Treasure Island and Robin Hood and things like that. And you're there in a way. And I thought, you know, as I got older, I started to realize in a religious way, it's very

important to be able to understand that. And I think C.S. Lewis and Tolkien both really understood this very well, and probably G.K. Chesterton as well, as many other maybe Christian writers. other uh maybe uh christian writers um but it's the idea of if i can suspend my disbelief and i can see these characters and imagine this world of jack walking down the street or treasure island or robin hood fighting against the corrupt government um i can and i'm planting that in there because as we know robin hood was a tax protester he wasn't stealing from the rich and giving to the poor he was getting money back that was taken by the government um but well we need him again yeah darn right um I I was thinking you know there's there's something to that process of being a human being being able to to imagine something else that a human being imagined and we

can see it too and if I can do that if I can imagine this world of fiction, then why can't I look at the world around me and see that the material world can only have been produced by something that is not physical? The physical can only come from the supernatural, the beyond, the metaphysical. You don't get nature from nature, right? So if I can recognize that, then I can say, wait a minute, there's a mind behind this. I had a doctor tell me one time, I have to interrupt you. I had a doctor tell me, I was astounded that he said this because he was a crusty old bastard, I guess I would say. But we were talking about something he was looking at in my leg, and he says, isn't it amazing that people deny the existence of God? And I said to him, Doc, I assume you're a Christian. Oh, I am. But he says, take that away, he said,

and look at intelligent design as people want to sidestep Christianity, God, you know, and Buddha, whoever. He said, take that away. Something, no matter how you look at it, something intelligent, way, way more intelligent than us had to be the design mechanism for this thing. And it's true. Yeah. Yeah. You don't get something from nothing.

And you have to get something from something beyond what that materialism is. And it can't just be random because it's not going to fit together. And, uh, and that's, that's a, you know, it's a, it's a nice place, I think, for some people to start if they, if they are resistant to the Christian history and the facts that have been built up and wonderful things. I have, um, I picked up a number of books, thanks to David. And I got that Cold Case Christianity book that I'm looking at now. It's just terrific. And it picks up, I think, also on, if you look at Lee Strobel's The Case for Christ and things like that.

If people want to go that route, it's a terrific thing to explore. And I think that as we look at, you know, I'll tie it back into the immediate situation we've got. As we look at these faceless entities that want to remove our free will, that means that they want to stop us from being able to make decisions about our lives, about our voluntary, our peaceful associations. They want to control us. They want to control how our kids... Trying to remove the individual rights thing to me i measure all of it all politicians by how they respect my individual rights that goes beyond the second amendment it's now probably centered more in the first amendment but i have to tell you this if people i have a lot on my

website that's free you ask me about the uh actually handling handling precious metals and that. I have a three-part series on there. People can go read this, the water series. The entire chapter is on there. It's all free. I want people to calculate out how much food. I have a food and water calculator on there. And it's quite simple to use.

I designed it, and I designed it because I'd never seen calculator on there. And it's quite simple to use. I designed it, and I designed it because I'd never seen one out there. So the long and short of the thing is, is this book has a lot of free information on there. I would like people to read some of these articles and some of the essays, and I have to put my hat off to who I consider a good friend of mine, and that's Matthew Bracken. I got to pitch him because if it wasn't for Matt, I went through a horrible process publishing my very first book. My second book, I got me and Colonel DeFontaine basically got cheated out of $15,000. So Matt Bracken taught me how to self-publish. And he encouraged me when I was giving up on writing this book, The Civil Defense Manor, he encouraged me to finish.

Matt Bracken is a former Navy SEAL officer. He's one of the best authors. And people can go to enemiesforeignandomestic.com and they need to read Matt's first three books called The Trilogy. I asked him one time, I was talking to him on the phone, I said, how in God's name did you ever predict what was going to happen 10 years into the future? And he said, well, kind of like flying an airplane from point A to point B,

if the wind and the external factors don't change, you know just about where you're going to be at point C. He said, when I started in 2003, I looked back to 1970 and all the societal changes, all the economic changes, and he said, I projected this out. His books are phenomenal reading, but the first three you have up, they're enemies, domestic enemies, foreign enemies. My God, it's... I told him, I said, I think you're a prophet.

You... He actually is a very intelligent person, but he's put these books out and they're pretty much a blueprint of what's happening and what's going to happen. But Matt taught me the publishing. I've got many other people in there.

NC Scout, he's one of the best radio communications guys. Jerry Emanuelson, if people want to know about electromagnetic pulse events. Jerry Emanuelson is an engineer, electrical engineer, who's worked on this stuff on the physics side for so long. I've got people in there. I don't know all of this stuff. So when I got into an area that I had questions about, I found who I thought was the best,

and I put them in this book. So I have about eight chapters of 45 in this book written by people that are experts on that. I also have recipes for simple things like pemmican. What's pemmican? Pemmican is a basis of fat, meat that's pounded to the point to where it's dehydrated. The Cree and Mi'kmaq Indians in the northern United States lived off of this. When the weather was so inclement, they couldn't go outside. This is what kept them alive. It has a virtual indefinite shelf life. And there are things like that in there that I put in there

because people can make this stuff in their kitchen, you know? So I encourage people to go to civildefensemanual.com and peruse all the free information I have on there. There's a lot of good information that'll save their lives and that of their family. Jack, it's great to talk to you. And I even saw there, talking about getting gasoline from underground storage when the grid goes down and water storage. I've got the chapter, chapter 13 here. You've got the downloadable PDF version. I was going to mention, I forgot, like those Paul Wilson stories, people, if you're worried that the government is going to come in and try to take take your gold and silver, you just you get pipes that are big enough. And then you put the pipes up in your piping metal. Yeah. You hide them inside pipes because their metal detectors will only detect pipes.

Right. And this is you know, this is something I picked up from F. Paul Wilson. Jack would get paid in gold and silver coins. He had a space in the drywall where he had access to his pipes, and he would either tape them to the backside of the pipes where they couldn't be seen, or he added just a pipe where he could put the small coins inside the pipe and connect it up like it was part of the piping system, the plumbing. These are all very, very important. And I think one of the key things is, and, you know, regardless of whether it's for self-protection or not, it's the Christian idea of loving our neighbor and caring about our neighbor enough that we make these connections with one another. Absolutely. That is critical. That is critical to know who lives around you. We've become a garage door community, lived in Las Vegas for a long, long time.

People would come home, put the garage door up, drive their car in, put the garage door down, never know who their next door neighbor is. I'm a Minnesota farm boy. So I went out and it's just in my nature. We knew all of our neighbors. My wife and I took care of elderly people when they couldn't help themselves it's just part of being a neighbor get to know your neighbors critically uh critically important what you would say and jack uh the final thing i'll mention you know um i worked in a farm stand as a kid and you know spent hours out in the fields picking corn and beets and strawberries and bringing the bushel barrels yeah it was great you know and and one bring the barrels. Yeah, it was great. You know, and,

and one of the things that I think has become almost part of our normalcy bias or many people's, I don't want to be too assumptive, um, is the immediacy of what's going on out there in the world. What's going on out there in that electronic world that I can get all this information as, as good as it is to know what is going on out there, that that itself becomes a draw away from our neighbors. I went and visited. It's destroying focus in people. Yeah. I actually, uh, Gardner, I actually got rid of people say, oh, you've got a flip phone. Yeah. I said, I have the newest technology flip phone. You know, well, why don't you have an iPhone? i had an iphone i i won't go into

the story but i ended up getting angry and threw it out the window of my truck one day and i had to go back and find it but i got a flip phone uh i see people so enamored they're mesmerized their phone is leading them around they aren't carrying their phone around their phone is leading them around. They aren't carrying their phone around. Their phone is leading them around. Their focus is totally disrupted. I got rid of it because I have 55 nieces and nephews and cousins and they all think, most of them think jacks or cats meow. So they were always texting me and my phone was chiming. I know you can shut these things down and whatnot. But I got to the point to where I said, hey, stop texting me. I then got to the point to where after, for another reason, I got rid of my iPhone, I got a flip phone. I told them I didn't have texting. So they quit texting me. But

it's just it's so disrupted to people. I don't think people are able to put a cohesive thought together before they respond to most texts. And I think that's one of the faults. The other thing is it's an artificial wall between the person you're texting and yourself, just like Facebook. People will say things to other people on there that they wouldn't say in person because they'd get punched in the nose. That's unfortunate that this has brought an ugly side of people out. But anyway, you're right.

It is true. Yeah. And you know, Jack, it's interesting. Here we are on an electronic communications system. Oh, wonderful. Yeah. And we're commiserating with each other. And, but again, I use it as a way to remind myself when I walk into the neighborhood store, I say hi to the people that I know there. I went and visited, uh, my neighbors who are elderly folks, uh, just before one of them, they're in their nineties. He was going to have some heart surgery and it was just great to see him again. They were so kind to me as a kid. You're a good man. You're a good man for doing that. People need to do what you're doing. Yeah, and that's it.

And if you've got kids, don't have the phone at the table. Ask them to put the phone away for a half hour on the drive and just look out the window. Let's talk. Let's leave the phone in the car while we have dinner. Let's go for a walk around the restaurant. I had to laugh. My son's a cybersecurity manager now, but he was sergeant of his scout sniper unit over in Iraq in the Marine Corps. He comes home and he said, I talked to him on the phone. I said, what do you want to do when you get home,

Jason? He said, dad, I want to have a beer with you and I want to watch killer clowns from outer space. So I said, okay, we'll do that. So we're sitting there watch killer clowns from outer space so so I said okay we'll do that so we're sitting there watching killer clowns from outer space and I paused it for a moment and I looked over to him and I said uh I started talking to him and he was on texting on his phone and uh he noticed that I stopped talking and I paused the TV. What did you say, dad? And I said, Oh, wait till you're done, Jason.

And the point of this thing is it's, it's so diffuses everybody's logical thought process. Yeah. You're there, but you're not present. What wonderful to have some of the technology, but the personal phones, I,

I think people are just overboard on this stuff. Yeah, I agree. Anyway. Well, Jack, it's been absolutely a pleasure to talk to you. It's been my pleasure, Gardner. Really delightful. You're a great host. I appreciate it.

Thanks so much, Jack. And I'd love to have you on my show sometime over on the evening side, and we'll get connected on that too. I'll email you about that. Maybe a couple of weeks from now, we'll talk about some of these recipes. That would be awesome. And a lot of other things to, to, to stick it to the man, as we would say. There you go.

Jack, thank you so much. Jack Lawson, everybody. Thank you, Gardner. You got it, Jack. I'll be in touch by a phone. Okay. Thank you. Okay.

They created common core to 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.
