The David Knight Show - The David Knight Show 7-27-23 w Guest Host Gardner Goldsmith

Episode Date: July 27, 2023

Today, guest host Gardner Goldsmith covers the breaking news of Hunter Biden's plea "deal" collapsing in Delaware Federal Court yesterday, and why Merrick Garland at the Department of so-called "Justice" has a lot to do with the collapse. At what does this development hint when it comes to Biden possibly now facing charges - after already pleading guilty to crimes that have put others behind bars for years? And what does it mean for Joe Biden, should these cases go to trial and see discovery and further investigation and cross-examination?Then, Gardner discusses a bill that Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie (R) mentioned on Twitter, a bill to END the unconstitutional federal mandates on meat butchers and sellers that have placed them in the target-hairs of federal "regulators" for decades, that mistakenly assume there is a constitutional or moral justification for the "regulations," and that blithely accept the term "regulation" when "THREAT" is the more appropriate word. Massie is right to promote this bill, and it can stand as a teaching item to learn more about the US Constitution and freedom.In Hour Two, Gardner discusses Hillary Clinton's devotion to the anthropogenic "Climate Change" Cult, and how the facts will be very difficult for her and her ilk to keep hidden from people -- the facts that there is no threat of a "climate apocalypse" from people using the internal combustion engine. Then, Tony Arterburn joins the program to discuss the latest Fed rate hike, precious metals, inflation, and the move by the Bank of International Settlement to push for a Central Bank Digital Currency. And in Hour Three, Gard and Tony conclude by discussing the Free Banking Era of Jackson's Presidency, and Gardner digs into the federal vs state conflict over immigration, and what is happening on the ground (and in rivers) in Texas!"Find out more about the show and where you can watch it at TheDavidKnightShow.comIf you would like to support the show and our family please consider subscribing monthly here: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/the-david-knight-showOr you can send a donation throughMail: David Knight POB 994 Kodak, TN 37764Zelle: @[e-mail] App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7Money is only what YOU hold: Go to DavidKnight.gold for great deals on physical gold/silverBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.

You're listening to The David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13 here on Airstrip One, we welcome you to The David Knight Show. For this July 27th, 2023, fellow freedom lovers, believers in individual will, thank you for joining me. I'm Gardner Goldsmith filling in for David. And I just got off the phone with David and Karen. They are enjoying their time off.

And I'm enjoying this opportunity to spend the morning with you. Every Monday through Friday, you can check out the David Knight Show between 9 a.m. and noon. And I get to fill in today. I'm excited on this Thursday, as they would say on Police Squad, to join you for the next three hours. We'll open up the Rock, one and all. Good to have you along for the ride, everybody. Boy, what a beautiful day. What a great, great morning.

Talking with David and Karen was phenomenal, and now I get to talk to you and with you. Again, if you want to join in on the chat, of course, you can watch us on DLive and chat over there. I probably won't see the DLive chat, but I will check in on the Rumble chat, on the Rockfin chat. You can watch on my Twitter stream as well, which is a kind of nice, nice little addition to my Twitter stream today. Usually I'm going in, finding David's stream and tweeting David's show. Now, I get to fill in for David Knight. This is great. Some of you might be familiar with my work from mrctv.org, the Media Research Center's television division. Television division, it sounds like a boy band from Korea. But if you're

not familiar with it, please take the opportunity to check out what they do as well. I wanted to give them the tip of the hat because they are absolutely terrific people based just outside of Washington, D.C., and they've been doing great work trying to fight the left wing bias force that has existed for so many decades in pop media and fighting for freedom, generally speaking. You know, I often tell people I am a Christian anarchist, a libertarian voluntarist. I believe that there should be no ruler over you other than God. And you have individual will and you need to be able to exercise that in order to fulfill God's promise to you, the rights that God gave to you, and make your own decisions about your own life and your soul. And we can come up with peaceful, voluntary arrangements and all the

rest of it. It's all a breach of the Old Testament and the New Testament. And it also is logically unsupportable and economically unsupportable. It leads to bad things. So today we're going to have to talk about some of those bad things. Absolutely. we're going to have to talk about some of those bad things. Absolutely. We've got to keep ourselves aware of what's going on. And I'm going to be taking the input from you as well to find out what you might be looking at. But we're also going to, as we say, try to turn those government frowns upside down. Let's do a little something that is kind of fun today. So if you get the opportunity and you're not familiar with MRC TV, please visit there. You can also, and I wanted to remind myself

to mention this at the beginning of the show and maybe during the show and at the end of the show, I wanted to mention that if you wanted to find my work, I do a show on Rockfin and on Rumble and on my Twitter feed each Monday through Friday at six o'clock. It's called Liberty Conspiracy because freedom is out of fashion nowadays and liberty is out of vogue. And we sort of mock the ideas that people who might be speculating about history or stories are looking for hidden information, that they are conspiracy theorists and they ought to be poo-pooed. And we also mock the idea that liberty is so out of fashion nowadays that we have to be a conspiracy, a group of conspirators, a cabal plotting and planning

for the inevitable day of the downfall of state authority over individual peaceful free will. So you can join us Monday through Friday, starting at six o'clock on Rockman and on Rumble. And you can also find the Liberty Conspiracy channel on Rumble, on BitChute and on Odyssey. And there are a few videos on YouTube, but we have to be very careful there. And you can find my sub stack as well.

And my sub stack has every Sunday, something called the Sunday News Assembly. And that one has typically about 20 stories that might be pertinent to individual liberty, plus contextual information that allows you to maybe get some more background or history, something on the economics and things like that. So check it out. If you haven't signed up, it's all free. And of course, you can find me on Twitter at Guard Goldsmith. I should like that. So check it out. If you haven't signed up, it's all free. And of course you can find me on Twitter at guard Goldsmith. I should mention that. Oh, you can watch me on Twitter. How do I find you? Hey, good idea. Might want to talk about that.

Thank you so much, everyone. And thanks again to David and the family. And I would just want to mention that today and tomorrow, and I believe also on Monday, I want to make sure I've got this right. I'll double check on Monday, but I know today and tomorrow, definitely. The David Knight Show, if you donate a viewer slash listener who goes by the handle of For the Love of the Road, and I bet you Hunter Biden wishes he were on the road right now, the listener For the Love of the Road will match your donation in Rockfin or Rumble up to $200. And I believe it's each day.

So that is awesome. And if I miss if I miss speaking for the love of the road, please let me know. Hop into the Rockfin chat and we'll see what's, see what the story is over there. We'll negotiate. No, we won't have to. Thank you so much for being so kind and such a devoted listener and supporter of David and his work. The best talk show researcher, host, person in the business, David Knight. And I got to say later in the program today, we're going to be joined by Tony Arterburn. He's like, he's like David Knight's clone twin brother. I don't know, but he's amazing too. And we'll talk about Wise Wolf Gold and Silver Exchange.

And if you want to go to davidknight.gold to guard against inflation, and we have some economic news coming even before we talk to Tony. Well, it's a good idea. Sign up just buy your own spot gold if you want to get it. Or you can sign up to the Wolfpack through that DavidKnight.cold with Wise Wolf Gold and Silver Exchange. Based in Branson, Missouri and also in Texas. So let's find out what's on tap tonight, today, for the David Knight Show, July 27th, 2023. You've got to wait for the system to come up and show you the visual here. And I will invite you to join us again in Rockman and in Rumble.

And when you do, please share the videos with everybody far and wide. And just waiting for... There it is. Hey, it popped up, great. The David Knight Show for July 27th. Amazing, we're almost headed into August. I hope you're staying cool. July 27th, 2023.

What's on tap today, everybody? The Hunter plea deal implodes, almost like the nasal passages of hardcore cocaine users. Then we'll talk about regulations and how the words regulation and rule and guidelines and things like that from the government, typically you can just replace that with threat because that's what they are. And they're not only threats. They're also threats that are based on prior threats. They're issued by people who are already getting paid because they get your money from previous threats. Hey, that's awesome. Again, you got to turn those government

smiles, those government frowns upside down. We'll also talk about Hillary Clinton's climate cult chant with some information that I wanted to be able to discuss yesterday that I think you'll enjoy. And I have a piece on this for MRCTV that you might find fun too. And then we're going to get into immigration with these Texas wipeout balls. And I was doing my show last night and I mentioned, you know, these, these balls that they're putting in the, what is it? I think it's the Rio Grande. But they, you know, they cover certain area of the river and there's a big dispute over these things and whether Texas is operating constitutionally. We're going to discuss that and we're going to talk about some of the things that Governor Abbott

has done, which are actually fairly close to the original concept of the U.S. Constitution and what the Biden administration has done and how that is light years away from the U.S. Constitution. And as a guy who worked at Star Trek Voyager in their script department, I'm very familiar with light years. That's for sure. And then at 1030, we'll be joined by our guest, Tony Arterburn of Wise Wolf Gold and Silver Exchange. Let me take this opportunity to hop over into the Rockfin chat and say hi to everybody.

also that you can find the shows after the fact at the channels, especially if you join up on Rockfin. I'll be over there. Tony's show is over there under America Unplugged. And we've got a lot going on. So feel free to drop links, anything like that. When I offer that I'm going to be stopping off and going into the chat, if there's something that is a comment that you put in there earlier and you want me to see it again, please feel free to do so. And of course, anyone who donates, I'll try to check. It'll all go to David and Karen and Travis and the family. And anyone who donates, I'll try to make sure that I check out your messages. All right, so let's find out what's going on with the news.

And for that, often on my show, I like to do this thing called the News Flash. And so since this is David's show, on that program, typically I'll play the Flash Gordon theme by Queen. You know, Flash! Right? Because, you know, my voice is so similar to Freddie Mercury's. But as I did yesterday, I'm going to play for you something that very few people see. It is from my days after college a little quick news it's time for this scene where that is me yes from skippy binnerman it's time for our news flash wait a minute i know you guys you're from the news flash That was a lot of fun doing that. As I mentioned, we shot that on Gardner Street in Boston with my friend Carter Blanchard on the camera.

And it was right around, if you know Harvard Ave and Gardner Street, right around the corner is Blanchard's Liquors. It was an amazing coincidence and it was a lot of fun. And if you get an opportunity and you're in Boston, check out the Gardner Museum because the Gardner Museum is actually the museum that was a former residential home at which Isabella Stewart Gardner lived. And she married into the Gardner family. On my father's side, a man named Richard Gardner came over on the Mayflower and signed the Mayflower Compact. And she married into that family in the 1800s. And they were pretty well to do.

That family helped found Salem. There were five families that founded Salem Mass. And there's a Gardner Mass. They make a lot of furniture there. And so that's part of my lineage. So she married into it and she used to collect amazing artwork. She was such a fan of artwork that she would hire people to do a golden scroll work on doorknobs and filigree on all sorts of things, tapestries and things. I mean, they have Vermeers, they have Botticelli's, they've got amazing things there. And there was a heist at the Gardner Museum in the early nineties. And you're probably familiar with this. If you listen to Howie Carr's

show, or if you're a fan of artwork, the Gardner Museum is very, very close to the Museum of Foreign Arts in Boston, right near Northeastern University. And the thing that happened was she collected all this art and in her will, she said, you can turn this into a museum, but you can't change anything. I want it to be the way I've laid it out. You can't move anything. You can't replace anything. You can't do anything. You can't do anything. You can't sell anything off. If you do, the whole thing's got to shut down, which is a pretty gutsy thing. I think that's kind of neat. And they have maintained her standard even after this heist in the 1990s that saw these criminals go in in the night. And I guess they knocked out or tied up with one of the guards and they went in and they used exacto knives and they cut these there was I believe three

paintings that they stole they cut the canvases out of the frames because I guess they thought if they removed the frames an alarm would go off they rolled them up put them in the rolls and those artworks have never been seen again. And I spoke with Howie Carr about this because he's been very interested in it, and he's friends with a man who wrote a book about it. And I said, Howie, do you think they're ever going to get them back? And he goes, you know, Gard, there was a time, maybe 10 years ago, when there was a glimmer of hope. They thought these guys had taken these roles and that they were hiding the canvases in a boat, perhaps off the coast of Rhode Island, maybe

near where John Kerry used to dock his yacht to avoid the taxes in Massachusetts. Hello, John Kerry. I'm a real climate hero, you know. Want to get on my private jet and talk about it? Okay. By the way, did I tell you I was a hero? Well, yes, absolutely. I threw my ribbons. I didn't throw the medals. I said I threw the medals, but I actually just threw the ribbons.

Wink, wink. Let's revise history some more. Anyway, so, yeah, Howie said, you know, but it looks like the guys who were involved with the heist are all dead now. And if they are recovered, these I think it's a Vermeer and perhaps a Botticelli. But I know one of them's a window. I'm pretty sure one of them's a Vermeer, one of the Dutch realists. And Vermeer is just amazing. His work is incredible.

He says, I think they're just so damaged. They're beyond repair. I was like, oh, geez. But what's very strange, there's almost this weird. It's almost like an inverse interest, because when you arrive, the empty frames themselves now are compelling to look at it's really weird because it gets your imagination going in this sort of weird mystery crime drama noir boston crime thing where you're looking at the place where you know 25 years earlier the hands of these guys as they were you know racing around and they had committed this crime and hurt somebody and their hearts are pumping and their adrenaline's going and they're going to do their thing, you know, and it makes you think about the criminals and what happened. It's a very strange phenomenon to check out. So if you get a chance, go to the Gardner Museum.

There's a beautiful atrium inside. They've got a wonderful cafe and they're not even a sponsor of the show. All right, let's talk about some of the major stories that are out there. And I think first off, we've got to go right into the Hunter Biden plea deal thing. Now, the story behind the Hunter deal is, it looks complicated, but it's actually, it's not that complicated from what I see. And we'll show you the headline from Fox. Then we've got some great information from Jonathan Turley, of course. Jonathan Turley skewers DOJ after Hunter Biden plea deal falls apart. He says a problem of their own making. And that's exactly why.

So we're going to play a little bit of that Jonathan Turley thing. Let me give you what I've got. And as Flava Flava would say, show them what you got. So it looks like this. The Department of Justice is partially at fault here, if you're the Bidens, which is funny because the Department of Justice has been basically protecting the Bidens and Hunter Biden. So Merrick Garland had been, to use the passive voice, let me put it in the proper voice. Congressman Comer had wanted more information from Merrick Garland and had asked him for documents about the Hunter Biden investigation because, you know, Hunter Biden's ready to plea, Merrick Garland, Department of Justice, they should be all done.

And Merrick Garland, in order to stonewall, kept saying, oh, we can't give you those documents. Comer, Comer would say, why can't you give us the documents? Well, because it's an ongoing investigation. That's the key. So I wrote down here, the Department of Justice told Comer that the case is not closed, which allowed Merrick Garland to keep information from Comer and the public. But the sentencing judge asked there's an ongoing investigation, the judge said, well, we can't come down with this because that will close out the ability for the Justice Department to further investigate. So it's absolutely ridiculous. So let's go with Jonathan Turley here. Constitutional lawyer Jonathan Turley.

You can follow him. He does great work. And this is excellent. I can't play the whole thing, but I'll play it in a couple chunks and ask your opinions in the Rockman and the Rumble chat. Here we go. At this year's Cheltenham, glory rests in the lap of the gods.

Curses. Alas, our hero hasn't placed. But there are still divine offerings up for grabs, with all NoviBet customers getting a €10 free bet for every day of Cheltenham. And on top of that, we're paying up to seven places each way on selected races throughout the festival. I declare this a most generous offering. NoviBet. More power to you.

T&C Supply 18+. Bet responsibly. GamblingCare.ie. And now we bring in Jonathan Turley on the phone right now, constitutional law attorney, law professor, and Fox News contributor. Jonathan, thank you for your incredible analysis all morning. We come to you now for your continuing thoughts on this developing story. Well, this is obviously a seismic development. You know, this was a deal that these IRS whistleblowers basically suggested was fixed. You know, the fix was in from the beginning.

And now it appears to have run into a roadblock. The key about these plea agreements, and I could say this from someone on the defense side, is that the understanding of the defendant has to be on all points the same with the government, or the judge is not going to feel comfortable signing off on the agreement. And so it's interesting that there seem to be these conflicts, because usually the government and the defense council will go through and make sure that they have a very clear and unified understanding of what the agreement means. The problem with cutting a sweetheart deal is that you can't put everything into the deal that is really on your mind. I mean, many of us view this agreement as an effort to cap off any charges against Hunter Biden. That's not the usual reason for a plea agreement. And so this judge apparently was

really hitting on these weird ambiguities and other problems in the agreement. But this agreement has been years in the making, and for it to fall apart is to create an uncertainty that will make many people in Washington distinctly uncomfortable. Curious, you know, in your experience, generally speaking, the incarceration usually begins at a year and a day so that the defendant enjoys credits and a little bit of wiggle room upon incarceration. But just to reiterate here, have you ever in your experience witnessed a misdemeanor after this volume of investigation and this volume of originally expressed charging documents on behalf of the tax division? No. There's a couple of aspects where you're absolutely and more particularly right. And that, first of all, by raising the tax element is important at the outset. Usually the tax experts carry a lot of weight in these discussions. But more importantly, the IRS whistleblowers said that the prosecutors and the investigators were totally on board with

multiple felonies being charged. And then something happened. And what's also problematic is that one of the whistleblowers said that there was an agreement on the table with Hunter Biden's team to extend the statute of limitations for the 2014-2015 charges. Now those are the key charges because they deal with Ukraine. And what the whistleblower said was that Weiss allowed it to expire anyway. And it left a lot of us dumbfounded. In what universe would a prosecutor ever not extend the statute of limitations, particularly when you're trying to negotiate a

plea? Why would you walk away from two viable felonies while you're trying to get the defendant to agree to something? So this thing is entirely composed of these weird and unexplained aspects. And can you respond to the notion that from what we may be understanding thus far, if the two sides have agreed that this are we talking about the ongoing current investigation, which is Griff Jenkins reported a few moments ago that the prosecution acknowledged was still occurring into Hunter Biden, Jonathan? Well, this is really a case of the Department of Justice being hoisted on its own petard because the Justice Department needs to say that there's an ongoing investigation to stop giving information, holding back witnesses to Congress. They need that element. But this judge immediately called

them on it and said, well, what is it? The Hunter Biden team said publicly that they believe this was a closeout plea agreement, which is what I would have negotiated at the defense council. There is no way I would agree to a plea agreement where we didn't close out the charges. Otherwise, you've got a domically sword hanging over your client's head. And the Hunter Biden people said that was our understanding. There's nothing further involving our client. But that's inconsistent with the DOJ, which is using the ongoing element to hold off Congress. And so this is really a problem of the of the DOJ making. They want to cap off this case and end it. But they also want to pretend that it's ongoing. And you can't have that ambiguity with a federal judge. This is just it's just amazing. I'll give you some more details, everybody. Here's from the Associated Press. OK, Hunter Biden was charged last month with and I say this with a very large caveat. OK. Obviously, this story doesn't pertain.

This is Crenshaw Pierre at the White House just moments ago on Hunter Biden. Get rid of that. This story doesn't pertain very much in any way to my freedoms, my relationship or understanding of morality as far as freedom goes. It's just another story of corruption within the polis, of corruption of people's morals, of their souls, of their playing political games and things like that within the superstructure of a government apparatus that is preying on me all the time. Whether I like it or not, the DOJ preys on me. That judge, even though people think she might

have been doing the right thing here in stopping this Hunter Biden plea deal, she's getting paid with tax money as well. So the whole thing is very distanced for me, and I'm not learning something long-term other than, hey, we've got another example of corruption, and these people are on this treadmill, running on the treadmill, trying to race for their political lives, as so many other people in history have done with corruption and things like that. But there are a couple interesting things as far as the day-to-day of this goes. And there is a lot of speculation that comes around. And even the speculation, to me, in a way, is slightly idle speculation. It doesn't get me anywhere. It doesn't allow me to learn that much

about my soul, about freedom, about American history or things like that. But it does allow us to think about a few things. Go real quick to this AP story. Hunter Biden was charged last month with two misdemeanor counts of failure to pay more than $100,000 in taxes from over $1.5 million in income in both 2017 and 2018. Because, you know, it's misdemeanor as opposed to what other people have had happen to them for the same thing, which is they go to prison for three years. But anyway, and he had expected to plead guilty Wednesday after he made an agreement with prosecutors who were planning to recommend two years of probation. And they were going to tell him, get a job, stop doing cocaine,

that sort of stuff. Prosecutors said Wednesday, Hunter Biden remains under active investigation, but would not reveal details. Again, that goes to what we were saying before. That has to do with the Department of Justice and Merrick Garland trying to use that as a way to block information and not give it to the people in Congress like Comer. However, this didn't sit well with U.S. District Court Judge Mary Ellen Noriega. She was appointed by Donald Trump. We got the best appointments. And she raised many concerns. She said the deal raised concerns and the deal also included a separate gun charge. He'd been accused of possessing a firearm in 2018 as a drug user, which went contrary to the 1968 Gun Control Act, which, of course, his dad loves, contrary to the Constitution. But hey, they're just regulations. Just remember that now. They're just rules. They're just regulations. They're not backed

by government guns. They're not threats against you. So here it is. The overlapping agreements created confusion for the judge who said the lawyers needed to untangle technical issues. She says, it seems to me like you were saying just rubber stamp the agreement, your honor. This seems to mean to be form over substance because of course the department of Justice is using this shield of it's an ongoing investigation to say we can't give information to Comer in Congress. But if it's an ongoing investigation and it's not closed, as you heard Jonathan Turley say, they are supposed to be thinking that this is closed so they can wrap all of this up. So she says, you haven't wrapped this up.

And it says the class proceedings were a surprising development in the year long investigation and a resolution that had been carefully negotiated over several weeks and included a lengthy back and forth between Justice Department prosecutors and Biden's attorneys. The plea deal was meant to clear the air for Hunter Biden and avert a trial that would have generated weeks or months of distracting headlines. But the politics remain as messy as ever, with Republicans insisting he got a sweetheart deal. No. And the Justice Department pressing ahead on investigations into Donald Trump, GOP's former 24, the former president, of course, in 2024, likely presidential candidate.

We will see. But so that is where it stands. And here's here's the deal. Joe, you resign. And then Kamala will become president and she'll offer both of you pardons. This is what people are saying. She'll offer both of you pardons. You'll be all set. No more investigations no more revelations

about burisma which could become much larger if they actually do investigate these things but i don't know how deep the republicans want to investigate that because many republicans were involved with the whole overthrow of ukraine as well so you can bet lindsey graham probably doesn't want this investigated either um but they're probably going to say that. Then other Democrats are going to say, wait a minute, if you put Kamala in charge and she wants to then run for president herself, what's going to happen? Because nobody wants Kamala to run again, right? They might be able to stomach her for a couple of, you know, a year and a half, couple of years now, but they don't want her to run again. So then they're saying, well,

how about Gavin Newsom? Maybe Gavin Newsom. It's just an absolute quagmire and a ridiculous mess. And, you know, you gotta, you gotta look at it in a way, you gotta almost thank Merrick Garland for screwing this up so much because he kept trying to delay the Congress with this shield of, well, we've got this ongoing investigation. But because of the ongoing investigation, they can't reach the plea deal. They actually might have to go to trial on this. Hunter Biden might actually not be able to do this plea deal. He might actually face harsher penalties under a trial for which there's tons of evidence and more discovery will be allowed at that point.

And it could, the whole thing could just blow up. It could be ridiculous. Get your thoughts. Let's hop over to the Rockfin chat, everyone. I'm Gardner Goldsmith filling in for David Knight. And that is about all I'm going to be able to offer in that poison pill for this morning on that story. I just don't think it's going to get us much further, but if anybody wants to speculate about it, feel free. And, um, oh yeah, someone is speculating here about John Kerry, Teresa Hines and the death of her former husband, who was a pretty conservative guy. Of course, the Hines ketchup magnet. And now John Kerry is married into all that money. And L. Engledow. Hey, thank you for being there Yeah, okay

He thinks that Hunter will get a big fine And I feel like that'll be it Well, thank you for mentioning that I am curious about that I don't know I don't know Let's find out what Rumble Chatters think And feel free to offer me your thoughts over there, everybody

Oh, hey, I like that I like that rumble chatters think and feel free to offer me your thoughts over there everybody oh hey i like that i like that someone in uh the rumble chat is uh mentioning rockfin radio free rockfin yeah they're they're pretty good they're they're decent folks there like them and um so yeah i'm i'm very curious uh do you think that that speculation that someone offered about Kamala becoming president, they're saying, you know, because, look, you got you got an avuncular, avaricious, egomaniaceth, who is perfectly willing to keep propelling her husband, her corrupt husband, on this path. And of course, you can say that about so many people and their spouses in Washington, D.C. And I think that these narcissists there, like Joe Biden, he is so toweringly narcissistic that he will not want to leave office. But if it comes down to his wife starting to put pressure on him and make decisions like that, especially about Hunter, and I don't know how much she cares about Hunter's legal future. But when it comes to their political future and what might happen to Joe

if things are revealed in court about Joe's relationship with Hunter in some of these evidently criminal activities and setting things up with Burisma and other Chinese companies and things like that, along with John Kerry's son. I think his wife might have a lot to do with this. So it's just idle speculation. Can't think about it much more, but I thought I would bring it up to you because it is just amazing. And of course,

I think we need a theme. And I don't play it because Earl Stanley Gardner is maybe part of the family or whatever. I did find out that Earl Stanley Gardner, for a period, for I think about a decade, was the number one American author. Because he not only wrote all those Perry Mason novels, they were very short. People really enjoyed those novels, but he also wrote a lot of noir crime novels. So quite an interesting guy, Earl Stanley Gardner and the Perry Mason Show. Just a wonderful, wonderful show, everybody. If you get a chance to watch it for a half hour, I think you'll very much enjoy it. you're listening to the david knight show all right one and all i I'm Gardner Goldsmith filling in for David Knight, and thank you for

joining us. Really appreciate it. And remember, if you donate to the program, either on Rockfin or on Rumble, I do want to thank once more for the love of the road, for the matching contributions. So feel free to do so. Of course, they're reaching the end of their month, and they have their gas

gauge, and they were just watching their gas gauge go down as they drove south for their daughter's wedding heading toward Texas at 1030. Tony Arterburn, A-R-T-E-R-B-U-R-N, Tony Arterburn, at Tony Arterburn. And of course, it's Wise Wolf Gold and Silver Exchange. So let's get into a couple other breaking stories, everybody. And this one offers us an opportunity to think about those terms that I mentioned at the beginning of the program, the terms regulation and rules. And I think it helps put into perspective the lack of freedom or perhaps the vestiges of freedom that we still have. You might have seen this put out by Thomas Massey. If you follow Thomas Massey, the Hill has this story. It's called the Prime Act. Congress must remove federal barriers to the sale of meat. This is an opinion piece by Darren Bask. He says, coronavirus concerns have made trips to the grocery store stressful enough. Hmm. That was from 2020. Finding fewer choices and higher prices for meat and poultry only makes matters worse. This shortage is a result of a bottleneck at meat processing plants

due to COVID-19 related worker illnesses and even deaths. No, it actually wasn't at that time. As we know, it wasn't due to COVID-19 related work or illnesses and deaths. There's no possible way anyone can know that because they were using the PCR test, which had at that time a 95% unreliability false positive rate. In addition to that, they were also subsidizing, as Deborah Birx admitted in April of 2020 in the White House, admitted that they were counting deaths of people who had been flagged with PCR tests as having COVID as deaths from COVID. And then, of course, USA Today, as I often mention in my MRC TV pieces, USA Today is one of the few honest papers in that instance. We'll find out whether you think

they're honest in other instances that actually admitted that the federal government was subsidizing medical centers to list people who died with COVID, PCR positive, as dying from COVID. They were also subsidizing people to get them on ventilators and burst their lungs, similar to what was going on in England. And I want to talk about that tomorrow as they start to investigate that. And lo and behold, they're discovering that, as I've often mentioned, and I mentioned in a story that I wrote many years ago, they literally put elderly people on the death pathway during the COVID so-called pandemic, which was not a pandemic. And if you go back to March of 2009, you'll see that they lowered the death threshold for a so-called pandemic. As Dr. Vernon Coleman has mentioned in his book,

let me just show it to you. If you want to get a really good book, actually a couple of very good books on vaccines and the unreliability, the unworkability of vaccines and the false promises that people offered about vaccines, the rhetoric, the lies that have been told, the way that they tried to say that vaccines eliminated diseases when, in fact, the disease numbers were going down prior to that, and they continued to go down either at the same rate or, in some cases, as they introduced the vaccines, the instances of those diseases did not go down. I'll give you a couple instances here. First, there's Vernon Coleman. You might be familiar with the old man in a chair, British doctor, very courageous man. His videos became very popular on YouTube until he was shut out. And then I believe they put him on a couple other platforms.

You can find him on BitChute. I know that. This is very good. And there's this book. And you might not be able to see the cover too well. It's called Dissolving Illusions, Disease Vaccines and the Forgotten History by Suzanne Humphreys and Roman Bistrionic. Let me hold that up for you. And if you're just listening and you're only hearing an audio form, the book that I held up by Vernon Coleman is called Anyone Who Tells You Vaccines Are Safe and Effective is Lying. So that little divergence from this story from 2020 is really just offered just to show you that the Hill allows reporters to get away with stuff like that. At MRCTV, we don't get away with stuff like that. We don't try to get away with stuff like that. At MRCTV, we don't get away with stuff like that. We don't

try to get away with stuff like this. We try to be very careful. And by the way, guess who gets attacked by NewsGuard, which has been subsidized by the federal government? Yes, you're looking at them. And as I've mentioned before, I have spent countless hours responding to the tax subsidized news guard because they have sent emails to the head of MRC TV, Eric Scheiner, the director, my friend who was up here visiting yesterday, saying that they are going to downgrade us for ads, ad capacity if we don't answer their questions about things like climate change and things like that. And of course, it's just busy work. They just do it to make us take up our time because if they had clicked the hyperlinks in my stories, they would find the studies, they would find the reports, but they don't click the hyperlinks. They don't want to click the hyperlinks.

So here we have, in this instance, this opinion author, Darren Bask, is doing the right thing in a way saying Congress must remove federal barriers to the sale of meat. OK, but he's opening it with he's poisoning the well. He's saying that the shortage is the result of a bottleneck at meat processing plants. No, it's it's due to covid related worker illness. No, it's due to COVID-related worker illness. No, it's because the plants got shut down by thugs in government, as I mentioned yesterday, contrary to the contract clause of the U.S. Constitution, which stipulates that prior agreements made by private individuals cannot be interfered with by, if they're peaceful, by politicians writing statutes or by local officials saying, you don't have to fulfill that contract. You won't fulfill that contract. They can't do that.

The Contract Clause of the Constitution stipulates this. Now, the reason this was put out by Thomas Massey is because this bill has been floating around for a while. And as they say here, Congress needs to knock down these barriers. So let's go here. Specifically, only meat from federally inspected facilities can be sold in interstate commerce. Again, it's a misreading of the Interstate Commerce Clause. James Madison said it was supposed to be state-on-state predation and conflict. And if there was a conflict between states because they were putting up barriers against other states' products, they could turn to the Congress to get it resolved. He said that it was not supposed to be an a priori claim of power over anything that goes over state borders. It was supposed to be a remedial, to remedy a problem,

a remedial power granted to Congress in case the states, and you can look in the Constitution, they're capitalized as S, not the people in the states, but the states had interstate trade conflicts. He says state inspected meat with limited exception can only be sold in intrastate commerce. Making matters worse, 23 states don't have state inspected facilities. There are also custom slaughterhouses that don't have the same inspection requirements as federal and state facilities. Federal law prohibits the sale of custom slaughtered meat altogether. It's amazing. Now, just on a basic moral level, and I want to go back to Thomas Masson because he's brought this

up because this bill is coming around, okay? And he's trying to bring in some attention again from this 2020 thing. So why is it that we're in a position like this? Well, because people don't question the moral, the immorality of a group of people claiming power over you in private exchange. And they say that they're doing it for your protection. And it goes all the way back to the creation of the Food and Drug Administration after a piece of fiction depicted slaughterhouses as terrible places. The market has an incentive to make sure that the people who are buying whatever it is are satisfied. Otherwise, they're going to turn elsewhere. And if deaths occur, if sickness occurs, you've got the added problem of liability. So it is a disincentive to do bad things to your clients. Because you can't demand their money.

You can't just take it away from them. What's the one entity that claims the legal power to take your money? The government, which also claims it's protecting you. And it's not. As we've noted about police, there have been Supreme Court rulings that say, no, that whole idea of to protect and serve, police don't have to protect people. It's a canard, right? I mentioned before, and in my book, Live Free or Die,

in an article I wrote for the Mises Institute, there was a Boston Herald reporter who investigated restaurant inspectors in Massachusetts, and she found that on any given week, there were only two and a half restaurant inspectors for the entire state of Massachusetts. And then later they found out that one of those restaurant inspectors was being paid off by the restaurateurs. Now, if you discovered that a private company that had taken it onto itself to put out a magazine or put out restaurant reviews or anything like that, in addition to the word of mouth and the legal liability that would hang over restaurants if they happen to harm their clientele. I mean, they're so careful. They want to make sure that they provide the food in a speedy way and that it's hot and that it's a good deal for you. They have different ambiance. They have scented air in Las Vegas and some of the

hotels. They provide all sorts of added accoutrements like air conditioning and stuff. If they're that sensitive to pleasing the customer, you would think maybe, possibly, one of their primary things is don't poison the customer, right? Always demand your money so they can do whatever they want and they can cheat and they can lie. Imagine if there were a private restaurant inspection magazine or online site or something and people discovered they had been on the take that they were getting paid by the restaurants. Right. Would people trust them? No, they wouldn't. And would people continue subscribing to that site or anything like that? No, they wouldn't. They'd say, I'm going elsewhere. If you had a friend who continually gave you or occasionally gave you bad recommendations about movies, or they gave you a recommendation about a restaurant, or they gave you food themselves that they had cooked and it was bad, you might be a little more skeptical about it, right? So Thomas Massey is pushing this proposal, the Prime Act. It's in Congress right now.

And I don't know, you know, the Republicans right now, they're in charge of the House. It likely won't pass the Senate, okay? That's the gamesmanship here. But what we can take with us, the lesson we can take with us is on a constitutional level, this is clearly not appropriate under the Interstate Commerce Clause. So if you were in a classroom and you were sitting down with your kids, you'd say, hey, or I hope you would say, hey, I hope you'll remember this.

Let's look at the Constitution this afternoon. Let's think about what James Madison said. Let's look up what James Madison said in letters about the interstate commerce clause. We'll do a Google search. We'll put in James Madison interstate commerce clause, that sort of thing. And let's find out what those people thought. And that's just for the constitution. As an anarchist, I might bring up to these students, please remember, I haven't signed onto this. This is not my voluntary contract with anybody. You don't have a contract with government, which they euphemistically call a social contract. You can't have real contracts in society. You can't have a social contract with government. Government is foist on people. That's the only way government exists is it is imposed. If everybody agreed to, say, a policing agency or something like that, it wouldn't be the government. It would just be all of us agreeing to a police force, a group of people with guns and so on to protect us. We'd be hiring a protection force.

The polis arises when a group of people or even an individual would say, hey, could I just be left alone? And the other people say, no, no. Or as Frederick Bastier said, government is that great fiction by which everyone tries to live off of everyone else. And they try to regulate things. They try to, as they say, put up rules. And they call them regulations and rules when they're really just threats. Good stuff from Thomas Massey. I'm glad that he brought that up. Now, I want to go over into another story. And this one, this one I covered last night on my program. And I think it offers us the opportunity to, oftentimes i play a little theme for this but i'm not gonna do that right now um i will do this however um

i'm gonna play you this one this is uh some of you older kids and from buster poindexter also known as david johansson This is our climate change theme on my show. Here we go. Man, I love that album. It's great. And it's amazing that he comes from the New York Dolls, you know? And now he's doing this, he's doing this sort of Louis Prima thing. And it's a great album. That, that first Buster Poindexter record is great. It's got a swing thing to it. It's got a salsa thing to it. And, uh, I highly, highly recommend

it. Uh, great stuff. Uh, almost all the music from the New York Dolls is great. Almost all the stuff from, um, Buster Poindexter is great. So I want to show you this one with that hot, hot, hot theme. You saw this on the preview. And then we're going to go through a couple very quick stories in our newsflash. And then we're going to go into a deeper story. And at 1030, we'll be joined by none other than Tony Arterburn as we look at the fact that, yes, the Fed raised rates again. We'll talk about that as well. But here's the story from The Blaze. And there's no irony there.

Yeah, it's the Clinton climate cult. Hillary Clinton literally blames Donald Trump supporters for the summer heat. Thank a MAGA Republican, she says. Oh, man. Chris Enloe writes this. Hillary Clinton is literally blaming Trump supporting Republicans for summer heat. On Tuesday, the twice failed presidential candidate responded to a tweet from the Center for American Progress, a leftist think tank. Of course, John Podesta, you might call him Skippy. John Podesta,

his brother, Tony, boy, talk about an art collection, huh? Yeah, huh? Yeah, quite different than the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. On Tuesday, the twice-failed presidential candidate responded to a tweet from the Center for American Progress, a leftist think tank that blamed MAGA Republicans for hot summer weather. It said such Americans are, quote, pouring fuel on the climate crisis fire. Oh, I could have played David Bowie, cat people. I'm putting out fire with gasoline. The Center for American Progress's inability to distinguish between climate and weather aside, Clinton took their rhetoric and ran with it. Hot enough for you? Thank a MAGA Republican, she said.

Or better yet, vote them out of office. And they have this with these headlines. The hottest day, the hottest day, the hottest day, and all that other stuff, right? Except that's fake. The measurements of the hottest day stuff that CAP Action has out there have been proven false. They're incorrect. And they were measured, of course, literally measurements on the ground. And as we know, it's pretty easy to tell that they have played very fast and loose with this information.

And so let's go with this. We have another group that is playing fast and loose with the information. The Washington Post. Heat waves in U.S. Europe virtually impossible without climate change, study finds. Oh, really? Well, Ryan Mao writes, without climate change, July's summer heat in the U.S. Southwest would have been virtually impossible, claims the Washington Post. I guess that's true if you memory hole 1925, the 1930s, the 1950s, 1980, 1985, 1990, 1995, 2012 again. They'll do everything they can to try to push this. MRC TV. So let's go over to my recent MRC TV piece that I think you might find interesting.

And it is a little something about the climate cultists in England. Let's see. Just do this. All right. Got to do this. All right, here we go. Yeah. So the climate cultists are definitely enjoying themselves with the media. So clicking on this latest tab for MRCTV, and you'll get to see, I'm trying to avoid my profile, but I have to show it to you. There's my ugly mug. Sorry about that. But you can see it on the camera now. So what am I talking about? So here it is. You probably saw this one. Climate nuts block mom from trying to get her newborn to the hospital. Now, this has been around for a while. I shot a video on this, but I don't know whether they put the video out yet. And it's just incredible to see what happened here. Watch this.

And they just and they just continue to slow walk. She's got a newborn infant baby in the car. They're trying to get to the hospital. This is just outside of London. It's the Just Stop Oil Group. You know, some of these people who have been gluing themselves to tarmac and petrol trucks and gas stations and things like that. They're over in London and they're completely oblivious to this. Now, what I wrote about this actually expands on this,

and I'd like to share some of this with you, whether it's in the video form that I presented for MRCTV or not, because I think you might find some of this interesting. I took this idea of them blocking the roads and sort of widened this. So I'll read a little bit of this to you. Perhaps one of the positive spillovers of the worldwide political and corporate political attacks on liberty and truth perpetrated under the spurious nomenclature of COVID-19 pandemic response has been the vast number of people. Expand that for you, has been the vast number of people who not only are waking up to those political deceptions,

but who also are questioning the ethics of statism in other areas. More and more of our neighbors are acknowledging the validity of journalistic and scientific skeptics who were right from the start about things like the COVID hoax. And they're seeing the multitudinous ways in which political forces tried to silence them.

Yes, we're seeing that thanks to people like Matt Taibbi, like Michael Schellenberger, like the people who have been investigating the FBI working with the Ukrainians and silencing people like Aaron Mate, the reporter on Facebook. And it's not isolated to COVID. I said now this the positive spillover from the proven right COVID truth tellers is bearing fruit in the battle against the government subsidized, fact starved, anthropogenic climate change cult. And the simple prevalence of phone cameras is helping to spread the signal of truth and expose the ignorance and wickedness propelling many of the dark Malthusian cult. British actor and outspoken proponent of liberty Lawrence Fox,

July 21st, helped spread that signal in a powerful way. Retweeting video of a desperate young mom forced to get out of her car to yell at oafish anti-petrol climate cult protesters who were blocking the road and preventing her from getting her newborn to the hospital. And there's the video there. We showed you about half of that. And they just they were just oblivious. These people just walking along, putting their heads down, sulking along the roads as she's saying, hey, I've got a life here. I've got a life in this car that needs to get to the hospital. And these people so concerned, again, it's the consequentialist, it's for the greater good. It's the public public health concept of, well, one can be sacrificed for the group, but the group is composed of ones. We are always ones. That's the point.

And if we can be sacrificed, if one of us can be sacrificed, any of us can be sacrificed, which then undercuts the very logical claim that they are trying to protect the larger group, because every single one that comprises that larger group that they decide is the one that they want to protect, however they want to describe them, whatever minority group, whatever majority group they want to describe it as, every one of them is a potential victim. I said, using perfectly directed and appropriate terminology to describe the young buffoons who were slow walking side by side along a roadway on the outskirts of London, Lawrence Fox wrote, quote, maybe the police are too busy saying mate to each other in an attempt to confront their toxic masculinity, then help this mother and her

newborn get past Tarquin to hospital. London is just one giant virtue signal with lots of stabbings. Well stated. And then I amplified on that a little bit. I said Tarquin being slang for a middle or upper class poser who has no concept of the real world and rather enjoys virtue signaling and LARPing, criticizing others for their ordinary lives and who delights in government, forcing on others what he or she sees as equity. And of course, they'll use that other euphemism, regulation or rule, as they push people around and point government guns at them. Government guns, of course, for which you had to pay. Fox's point about stabbings also is valid, considering the fact that violent crime has exploded in the UK since its 1997 gun grab,

and subsequent so-called knife bans in London have not stopped the nightmare of blade attacks that Mayor Sadiq Khan claimed would dissipate with his magical mandate. And as more people become exposed to Fox's and others' solid, reasoned, factual, and ethical approach to political events and the forces often pushing them, as more people discover a widening network of peaceful reporters and commentators who believe in truth and freedom, the difference between the behavior of humble workaday people and self-righteous elitist political manipulators and antagonists becomes ever clearer. Those so-called enlightened climate cultists on the street were utterly deaf and unresponsive to the mothers' entreaties. They were and are propagandized, hypnotized,

politicized tools of liars and worldwide collectivists who, as I have noted in depth for MRCTV on many occasions, I have the hyperlinks just in case NewsGuard wants to talk to us, have been exposed for their flippant, insulting, deceptive behavior and bogus data manipulation, who often reveal themselves as towering hypocrites. I bet there's a link to John Kerry there. Oh, look, there it is. Yes, indeed.

Who often reveal themselves as towering hypocrites. Where were we here? Yeah, it shifted me down here. And who often also reveal themselves to be tied to vast hordes of global government and corporate collectivists, not one of which is interested in truth, freedom, or the well-being of individuals like that British mom and her baby. Now, if you had been there, what would you have done? I would have used, clearly, I would have used physical force to remove those people, easily. I would have gotten a group of people to pull them aside, get that woman out there, let her go. And I said, indeed, that scene on the street is a

window into the inhuman dark forces arrayed against us. And a reminder that we should not stop our analysis at the immediate confrontation. And this gets us to the lesson that I wanted to draw out for readers. And you're probably thinking along the same lines because David has mentioned this sort of thing too. I said, this is sort of the getting into that point. This is sort of the lead into it here, this portion of the article. I said, this is not the only road-based protest that has wreaked havoc on victims who might have been trying to handle emergencies. Not the only tarmac-tying stunt to delay important plans of my home or any chosen destination are creating impedance to the natural flow of the market does, which is to let people fulfill the wants of others in a competitive manner based on what the participants want. All government intervention is immoral.

U.S. drivers might recall the stunningly dangerous and bizarre mental derangement of cultists who, in 2015, stuffed their hands into barrels full of drying cement across highway lanes leading to Boston. And you'll see my Boston Magazine hyperlink there, News Guard. Each lane closed with emergency vehicles having to find alternate routes, as they say. They might remember the 2022 stunt in Maryland where climate cult members sat on I-495 and prompted drivers to get out of their cars and remove them. I said, but this video from England allows us to consider more. And here is I, there's the rub, as Shakespeare might say. it lets us see what often is unseen, as Frederick Bastia would say, for in fact, official political forces, the official so-called forces, not these climate cultists, official

political forces already engage in forms of road-blocking behavior all over the world. The tactic often is called a road diet and sees so-called urban planners and politicians literally shut down driving lanes to cause more congestion and inspire people to take mass transit or use alternate routes that will, of course, push them to then eventually take mass transit because they're so frustrated. It's an aggressive central planning command and control mentality that is so wrapped within bureaucracy and sadly within the accepted normalcy bias towards inevitable political developments that people typically just accept on government roads that few people fight or question the impositions. And this is something I hope I can help a few people

question, maybe get some break outage going on. From shaving off road space in order to create infrequently used so-called bike lanes to imposing unnecessary roundabouts, the results of these arbitrary political impositions on the natural flow of traffic is no different than the shocking reality of that Lawrence Fox retweet from England. But when we see these deranged climate cultists, we can use those images as leap points to explore the wider range of derangement which applies to road diets and even to government imposing the builds, shapes, sizes, so-called management, and destinations of roads. And I will remind you just briefly, everybody, if you're interested in getting a great book that highlights some, not all, of the history of how government insinuated itself into what was a private road-building paradigm, get Thomas DiLorenzo's book, How Capitalism Saved America.

It's a terrific read. He, of course, has written a great deal exposing Abraham Lincoln and the Lincoln worshiping cult. And I hope you'll get How Capitalism Saved America. Get it for a teenager. Give that book out to friends. Get multiple copies of it. It's wonderful. And in it, he describes things like the origin of toll house cookies coming from the private toll roads, the bridges that were built privately, the roads that were built privately without using eminent so-called domain, without stealing property from people. And people say, well, who would build the roads? Then people, how about who would build your driveway?

Do you have an interest in getting someplace? Do companies have an interest on building parking lots so that people can get in and out? Do they have an interest in having doors and stairs and caring for those areas in wintertime better than government does? Yeah, they do. And private companies actually did fund the building of roads for a long time because they had an incentive to allow people easy access. Even multiple companies would combine to allow for easier access. As I said, they provide air conditioning inside their buildings. Of course, they're going to try to figure out a way to get people easy access to the buildings. So just a little bit more here to give to you. Despite arrests for

engaging in peaceful voluntary association and private business, despite being shadow banned and deplatformed, despite being called conspiracy theorist by pop media shills who often were paid vast sums by giant government favored pharma corporations, and despite teachers' unions working to manipulate narratives in order to keep so-called distance schooling propped up, the critics of the COVID tyranny were not cowed. We kept speaking up, finding avenues to get out the info. Critics of political claims about the deadliness of the outbreak, critics of the canards regarding the so-called efficacy of masks and lockdowns, those who cited the sheer immorality or anti-constitutional nature of jab mandates,

business closures, travel bans, jab so-called passports, and critics of the way political units and their corporate fascist suckerfish were inflating the death statistics and literally subsidizing lies. We who warned of these lies were right and are being recognized as such. And now, just as left-leaning comedian and reporter Jimmy Dore have a hyperlink, and Jimmy Dore is always fun to watch and very informative, and just as Jimmy Dore has so brilliantly done, more millions across the planet can see the falsity and absurdity of the anthropogenic climate change agitators. That is good. And what I'd like to do for you folks is show you a little something from Neil Oliver. And you might be familiar with Neil Oliver because he is a Scotsman, a historian. He is a guy who does amazing, had already done amazing work on television and done things about the history of England and gone into some really, really fascinating, fascinating stories about british history and things like that um but

he has and paul joseph watson recently did another very good video neil oliver has really summed it up very well and i'd like to show you part of this and maybe part of paul joseph watson pieces piece too because he hits this canard about the hottest temperatures ever. Here is Neil Oliver. When the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to treat everything like it's a nail. For at least three years now, if not, in fact, for a whole lot longer, governments here and elsewhere across the West have kept the hammer always in hand. During the Covid debacle they called the hammer the science but it was a hammer by any other name. Calling a hammer the science doesn't make it so. You can put a crown on a dog and call him prince but that doesn't make him a member of the royal family.

Science is supposed to be a conversation without end, an ongoing process of asking questions whereby someone observes some part of the way the world seems to work, comes up with a potential explanation for what appears to be happening, and then designs experiments to see if that explanation might be proved wrong. A scientist actively encourages his fellows to come up with experiments of their own, the better to challenge his idea. For as long as the explanation holds up in the face of the experiments, it gets to stick around. But the point of the experiment, it gets to stick around. But the point of the scientific method is that every explanation must always be subject to challenge by anyone.

In that respect, science turns out to be a bit like the weather, which is to say changeable. As soon as someone puts the word the in front of the word science, you know they've decided the conversation is closed because they have no more to offer the debate. When a conversation is declared closed, then that process of scientific exploration is dead, as though it had been beaten to death with another hammer. Lockdown and masks were set in place using a hammer. For months on end, we were told the science said we had to lock down the world and everyone in it. The brakes were applied and the world, our part of it at least, was brought to a shuddering halt. Before, during and after the brakes were applied there were many people, people naively thinking science was still a conversation, who said locking down would save no lives and would in fact cause nothing but harm.

More voices were raised to question masks, people trained in the scientific method who said covering faces with paper and plastic masks would save no one from a respiratory illness like COVID. As well as being useless in stopping the spread of the illness, they would have negative consequences for millions, especially the young. Rather than engage those people in conversation, those wielding the hammer merely saw in front of them yet more nails and used the hammer to flatten them. And here we are now dealing, or rather not dealing, with all those disastrous consequences for economies, livelihood, mental and physical well-being, the whole kit and caboodle. The difference between science and this science is the difference between a living plant with roots and a cut flower in a vase. One is alive with more to give, the other quite dead. More troublesome voices were heard asking questions about exactly what was going on in Ukraine,

and out came the hammer again. Anyone asking about the geopolitics, US involvement, Biden family involvement, the politics of the Azov battalion, all silenced. We were told it was about saving democracy. They might as well have called it the democracy. Democracy is a living thing as well, wherein each political ideology is only a theory, each government only an experiment to test the theory, and always there should be the opportunity to challenge the theory and, when necessary, replace it with one altogether different. Now, I'll just pause there. I think he's conflating individual choice with the polis and, of course, gang rule through democracy. But I understand the

sentiment about having people's voices heard within the governmental system and trying to have the majority get what they want while also protecting the rights of the minority. That's generally not a combination that occurs in any way, because by actually having the majority make the decision, by definition, it means you're not respecting the rights of the minority to disagree. They're going to have to go along. But we'll continue here with with Neil Oliver, because the rest of his substance is just spot on. Excellent. And he's just beautiful to watch every time he speaks. It's just it's poetic. He does a great job. And he seems like a very, very honest, decent fellow. Whatever the hell's happening in Ukraine, it's not about saving democracy as much as anything else. It's about making money, hundreds of billions of dollars and pounds. To be more precise, that war is about seeing how quickly the people's money, in fact the money yet to be earned by the people and then taxed by our governments,

can be turned into the wealth of arms manufacturers and those who aid and abet them. Democracy, another fragile flower, has been flattened in the process. In Ukraine, any voices asking questions, speaking up in opposition to the government, are hammered flat. In the name of that so-called democracy, a generation of Ukrainians has been harvested. Hammers and nails, that's all we are now. The hammer wheels have seized for themselves all the power, and yet some of the nails just won't lie flat. Right now, the hammers are out again. This time, the powers that be, aided and abetted by more of this science, are busy using the summer as an anvil.

For reasons that make sense only when you're in the business of frightening the living daylights out of populations, the palette for colouring the weather maps has been changed from the familiar life-affirming greens and blues to the angriest of oranges, reds, purples and black. Glimpsed out of the corner of an eye, the most recent maps of the Mediterranean look like pizzas left too long in the oven, all blistered and burnt. I say it's ludicrous. Among the most blatant and inexcusable fearmongering deployed so

far, people battered and bruised, not to mention plain old dead on account of lockdown, followed by land war in Europe, backed up at all times by the threat of global nuclear war, are now being hammered flat by elaborately orchestrated fear of summer. Dotted throughout the incinerated hellscapes are the numbers predicting daily temperatures. I think they're missing a trick by not finessing the maps, by having those numbers held up by little red devils, complete with blackened hooves, horns and white-hot flaming pitchforks. The news reporting has been at least as hysterical as the weather forecasting. So far, the combined desperation of disaster journalists for thermometer-bursting record temperatures

has not been enough to push the numbers over the line. But it's only July and there's a lot of summer still to go. Having already gone to purple and black, presumably the coverage of any actual new records will have to be accompanied by graphics of cities in flames and boiling oceans. Feverish has been the reminding of the record temperature set in Sicily in 2021 when the mercury hit 48.8 degrees centigrade, which is 119.4 degrees Fahrenheit. So vulnerable are the numbers to being manipulated to present any case a person might care to make, I'm reluctant to lean on any myself. But it's at least worth

remembering there's nothing new under the sun, including extreme warmth. To take but one source, almost at random, Gaillard's medical journal, published in New York all the way back in 1884, carried a story about hot weather. The piece began, quote, many a man has mopped his brow during the summer months of 1884, declaring it was the hottest weather the world ever knew, which of course would not be true. The author went on to list extremes recorded as far back as 627 AD when, quote, the heat was so great in France and Germany that all springs dried up. Water became so scarce that many people died of thirst. More years were picked out. 879 when farm workers were struck down within minutes of attempting work. 993 when the sun's rays were

so fierce that vegetation burned up as under the action of fire. In 1000 AD, quote, rivers ran dry under the protracted heat. The fish were left dry in heaps and putrefied in a few hours. Men and animals venturing in the sun in the summer of 1022 fell down dying. On and on it goes, 1132, 1139, 1200, 1277. In 1303 and 1304, the Rhine, Loire and Seine rivers ran completely dry. In the summer of 1625 in Scotland, men and beasts died in scores. Meat could be cooked by merely exposing it to the sun. Remember that record temperature of 119.4 Fahrenheit in Sicily, two years ago, Gaillard's journal has a temperature in Paris on a memorable day in 1846 of 125 degrees Fahrenheit. More important than watching the numbers and the pizza pie weather maps,

consider always who benefits and who pays the price of all this fear. Listen to the doom-mongers like politicians John Kerry, Al Gore, Barack Obama, celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio, the software salesman like Bill Gates, and watch their bank balances always rise faster and stay higher than the mercury in any thermometer. Listen to them describe how you and I must live in the future and watch how they live now and with no signs of changing their ways. The Kerry's, Gore's and Obama's grew richer every day. They preached their disaster sermons about sea levels rising 10 feet, 50 feet, 100 feet, and then retired to

their beachfront sea level mansions priced in the tens of millions of dollars, reassured by the fact banks are still happy to lend money for multi-million dollar construction projects at sea level, and insurers are still happy to underwrite the loans for decades to come that is beautiful and i i don't want to play the whole thing because of course this is neil oliver's uh content and uh it comes from gb news if you want to follow them uh they started up maybe what about a year ago two years ago um. And they're, you know, conservative slash libertarian. And they do they do good work. Neil Oliver is there. Nigel Farage often on GB News. And Nigel Farage looks like folks are starting to investigate the bank higher ups who tried to debank Nigel Farage. So that's

going to be good. And I want to just bring up a little something for you. If you get the opportunity, I want to show you the Al Gore graph. This is the so-called hockey stick graph that Michael Mann created. Let me go over here and get it for you. Okay. So I'm going to call this up. I'm just pulling this up from my computer as I've just on the fly. I thought of it and I want to show it to you. So already oftentimes I'll mention in my articles if, and I've mentioned live to audiences, students and things like that. I say, you know, if you want some great information, look up ClimateGate 1, ClimateGate 2, the University of East Anglia. Look up Michael Mann.

Look up the lawsuit that Michael Mann ended up. He tried to bring a defamation suit against a guy from, I believe, Toronto. They were hearing it in Canada. The guy from Toronto demanded Michael Mann's data and Michael Mann would not give the data. Michael Mann ended up having to drop the suit. He lost the suit against this Canadian guy for defamation because the Canadian guy was saying, you're lying. Mann clearly thought the guy wouldn't proceed and defend himself. He thought the guy would settle out of court and the guy didn't settle. He brought him to court.

He said, no, I'm going to defend myself because what you're doing in the climate stuff is bogus. The chart that was in Al Gore's film, An Inconvenient Truth, is based on the man hockey stick graph. So I'm going to enlarge it here for you, OK, and show you if you want to take a screen cap of this or anything like that. I can post this on Twitter and get it out there for you. If you want to see it, just let me know. Just contact me at Gard Goldsmith. And I show this often. So as a guy who almost went to school for astrophysics, I was going to go to Cornell and study with Carl Sagan. I was very interested in what Carl Sagan talked about the greenhouse effect. And so it's the argument that, for example, on Venus, they had so much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, carbon dioxide causes warming. You might have seen Neil Oliver in a conversation on the GBN YouTube channel with a climate alarmist.

And that climate alarmist person was saying, well, you know, the science tells us that carbon dioxide holds in heat. It's like, yeah, yeah. You know, if you've got, say, a greenhouse or something like that. Yeah, we know that. But you're not talking about what happens in a dynamic environmental system like the Earth, as opposed to Venus, which doesn't have living stuff on it, doesn't have the atmospheric conditions that we have on it, has nothing like the Earth's atmosphere or oceans or anything. What happens here? It's part of a cycle. And the closest thing that we see to the variations in temperatures over time has been shown in Fred Singer's book called Unstoppable Global Warming Every 1500 Years. It's the solar

output, solar cycle. Every 1500 years, it varies. And strangely enough, those variations tend to correlate, and we can't say whether there's causation or not, but the one thing throughout history they've been able to find that correlates most strongly to large scale temperature variation is solar energy output. That's pretty much it. And when you get people who are manipulating the data and they're literally making claims that they can compare temperatures taken on the ground on tarmacs like they just did to say that it was the hottest day in history when it wasn't, when they're putting temperature readers outside of air conditioning vents, as I've mentioned before on David's show and on my show, when you get

so-called scientists who, for the International Panel on Climate, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change for the UN, when they do not note to observers that after the fall of the Soviet Union, the Siberian temperature readers were no longer part of the data set and they didn't adjust for that lack of colder temperatures. You're playing with some people who aren't playing fair. In fact, you're being forced to play with them because you're forced to pay for them. If this were actually something where you wanted to rely on something for your home safety or something like that, you would never rely on these people because they're cheaters. They, everybody cheated as Waluigi says in the game. So here it is. And I'll just show you a real quick, large screen.

Okay, here we go. An inconvenient truth. This is the Michael Mann hockey stick graph. This is the one that everybody saw at that time. And they continue to talk about this without actually showing us two very important things. I often will visually just describe it myself in my MRCTV videos. I'll use my hands and say, okay, if you went back in time. So let's see it on the screen here for you, everybody. Okay. So on the screen, if you look, we've got time on the X axis and temperature or other readings on the Y axis, temperature or carbon dioxide. The red line is CO2. The blue line is temperature. And again, how you even compare temperatures taken today with thermometers taken 250, 150, even a hundred years ago, I don't know.

And they even have variation between the temperature readers that they have in satellites versus the readers on the ground because they move the readers on the ground into hotter areas. And as I mentioned, on NPR a number of years ago, they had a representative from NOAA, the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, literally admitting, openly saying, well, we're going to move the temperature readers in the ocean because we're not getting the results we want. What were they going to where were they going to move them from deeper depths where it's colder to? Yeah, you got it. Higher depths where it's warmer. So they're manipulating. Look at climate gate. Think about the phrase hide the decline, because they wrote to each other and said, we're not getting the results that we want with these data sets. They said, what do we do in these emails that were revealed in Climategate 1 and 2 from the University of East Anglia? They said, oh, just

do what Michael Mann does, hide the decline, manipulate, lie. And Michael Mann brought suit against a guy, ended up dropping the suit because the guy wouldn't back down. And right here, we've got it right in front of us. If you go back in time, if they had extended this graph, and this was one of the first things that I told people in my classrooms. And I told people when I worked at this bookstore, because she got the book of Al Gore's In Inconvenient Truth. And I said, are you familiar with this graph? She said, what? I was like, you're being manipulated. Look, I said, if you go back in time a little bit longer, they have eliminated a period when temperatures were up here because it was the medieval warm period. They come in during the little ice age and then contemporaneous, and they call it causative to the internal combustion engine, you see temperatures go up. But if you actually look at the graph, their argument that increases in CO2 lead to increases

in temperature is incorrect. Because as you can see, and I pointed it out to her on the graph, I was like, in his own graph in front of the audience, Al Gore did not acknowledge that his own graph doesn't show what he argues. It shows the opposite, at least, of what he argues. He argues that increases in CO2, atmospheric CO2, which is what, 37 parts per million right now? He argues that those increases in CO2 lead to temperature increases, but it's the exact opposite on earth. Increases in temperature end up leading, as you see down at the bottom, to increases in CO2 by approximately 800 years. It's roughly 600 to 800 years. It's ridiculous. So you can take a screen cap of that if you want, if you're watching live or if you're watching,

you know, in review or anything like that, I'll just take myself off because you don't need my picture in there. But you know, if you want a little bald headed dude there as well, check it out. I hope you find that interesting stuff. And I think it's pretty valuable.

And I think it, it again shows how the wonderful Al Gore, and goodness knows that he was awesome with rock and roll. He and his wife are great. And good job, Dee Snider, for exposing them as the frauds that they are. They are just completely bereft of pretty much any semblance of reality. Unbelievable, folks. Hey, you're listening and watching The David, listening to and watching The David Knight Show. I'm Gardner Goldsmith filling in for David. Thanks for hanging out, one and all. Great to have you here. Thank you. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Great stuff from David, the whistler, and the family.

LG Grande here with you. Buenas, whatever. Buenas dias. Buenas tardes. Buenas noches. Whatever time zone you call home, as I often say on my show. And I want to thank one of our contributors at the David Knight Show on Rockfin. Johnny Vips, thank you for the tip. I appreciate it. Remember,

everybody, if you tip or donate today, up to $200 per day, I believe, for the love of the road will match your tips as we approach the end of the month for David on the program. And Johnny, I'll answer your question a little bit later on. I'll have to think about that. I really appreciate that. And yeah, quite an interesting, interesting question. And talk about interesting. Now it's time for us to be joined by none other than the man himself standing, sitting in front of the mighty Buffalo. He is Tony Arterburn. And Tony, great to have you here from Wise Wolf Gold and Silver Exchange. And of course, David Knight.Gold. Tony, how you doing, brother?

Good to see you, Gard. Yeah, I was listening to your last segment about Tipper Gore. I remember the warning labels on albums back in the late 80s. That made my albums cooler. I want to thank you for that. I remember buying Appetite for Destruction and thinking, wow, this is really something different. I was eight or nine years old, so thanks, Tipper Gore.

I'm radical. I'm radical. And it was really funny seeing Dee Snider explain how, when he appeared in front of the PMRC hearings, and if people aren't familiar with it, it was Al Gore and Tipper Gore. And it was Tipper Gore's big issue that they wanted to put federal labels on music. If the record industry wasn't going to do it voluntarily, they were going to force it.

They had these hearings. Frank Zappa comes in. And then they got Dee Snider. He comes in with all the long hair and his ripped jean jacket thing. And he's described it, which is pretty interesting. He said, oh, I did that on purpose. He had folded paper and it looked like it. And then his speech is actually very articulate.

And you can see Al Gore's like, what? It just goes to show that politicians and the political class in this country will fight everything but evil. We won't actually attack anything that's actually evil. go after all these ancillary outside periphery things and it don't matter. Yeah. Anything for a stunt, you know, anything for a stunt. And of course they, in a similar way to the climate MacGuffin, to the, uh, to the COVID MacGuffin, it was an emergency for our children. You had to do something for the children. Like parents can't handle what their kids are going to be buying. You know, it's just amazing to think about this. Maybe the Gore family couldn't handle things for their own kids, but I could handle things

with my folks. We had a pretty good relationship. I don't know. I call me, call me screwy. Frank Zappa never had problems with his kids, the gore family i don't know kind of strange i wonder if i wonder if al gore locked up all those albums in a lock box if i wanted to put him in i think he put him in his lock box it is so good to see moralizers like that do so well in their marriage i hate to hate to say that but we have to bring up that for some odd reason they just didn't stick together maybe Maybe it was their music opinions. They just had to part ways. Something about that.

You know, climate change and the earth is heating up or it's cooling or it's going sideways. I can't tell which narrative they're going with next. But I remember something when I was a kid. My father, who's probably Tony Arterburn Sr., is one of the hardest working man I've ever met in my life. And he was starting his third year of his swimming pool business in 1980 here in Texas and North Texas, just outside of Dallas. Now, I remember this. I was just born, but I remember the stories because 1980 in Texas, there was 100, it was 100 days of over 100 degrees. And that was something that him and my grandfather talked about all through me growing up. And because it was something they were putting in swimming pools, he bought his first gas

station here in Texas. And so he bought the gas station to fill his dump truck because of the oil embargo in 1979 and some of the gas shortages. He's filling up, putting in swimming pools and running a gas station 100 days of 100 degrees. That's never been broken. I'm 43. It's 43 years ago. It's never been broken. Explain that to me, that 43 years ago, we had 100 days of 100 degrees here in North Texas.

And that record has not even, I don't think it's even been close. They're not going to break it this year. But, Tony, I think you're a little bit off here. Was the map red or was it green? That's right. Well, they weren't getting their climate standards from whatever intelligence agency was telling them to move the needle. The narrative wasn't important then. Yes, absolutely.

And by the way, Tony, as we bring you on the show and we introduce you, one of the really fun things is if people are watching on on video uh they get to see you they get to see you know me and and so on and when you're on with david they get to see your handsome mug with that great beard which i would never be able to grow uh i would just you know it would look like it would look like one of those weird alien you know alien feels with like the swirlies and all the weird stuff. It would not be looking good. But I should mention, we want to talk a little bit about where people can find you at Wise Wolf Gold and Silver Exchange in both Missouri and in Texas physically and online.

And then what you do with David and why part of the reason why people might want to be interested in getting in touch with you. And then we'll go into the big news, of course, from what, about half a day ago about the Fed raising rates to a 22-year high. Well, that's true. And they've raised rates faster than they ever have in history. I wonder why. Is it because they printed and created 80% of all the dollars ever made from 1776 to now in the last four years? I wonder if that's true. We have two physical locations for gold and silver. That's Wise Wolf Gold and Silver. I'm in my Denison location now, which is kind of our satellite shop we have in North Texas and Denison, Texas, just on the border

of the Red River here where Oklahoma, the Oklahoma border is. And then Branson, Missouri is where my main location is. And I kind of float back and forth from Branson to here. And one of the reasons we set up this satellite location guard is because of supply chain, getting supply, especially to our Wolfpack members. We have a monthly membership program. It's one of the ways that you can support David. Yeah, that's right. You're a member, proud member. Thank you for that. And you can support David. We've got the $50 plan, which is the lowest plan. It's called the Lone Wolf Package. So, you know, when people say I can't afford precious metals because a lot of the big trading houses, when you call them and you tell them you only have a few thousand dollars, they're just like, ah, this one, they want off the phone with you. I know I've heard these,

these stories all the time. And when you do, cause I, I was that person, you know, as a young man in the army about to go into, uh, into Iraq, Mr. Bush's war, the neocon class project I was sent off to, I was going to buy some gold. And I only had a few thousand dollars, which was a big deal to me back then. It's a big deal to me now. But the trader didn't want to talk to me. So it was one of the reasons that years later after different business ventures and my family's been in the gasoline business and the restaurant business, I've learned a lot. But I went into the gold, silver and coin business and I've never looked back. It's something that I really enjoy.

I think in the coming years, this is going to be even more relevant. You talk about climate change and we can look back through history and go, well, you know what? That's true. The climate does change, whether we have SUVs or whether we're making plastic bottles or anything. The climate changes. We have things called ice ages and I'm sure solar mediums and all this stuff that happens. I know it's out of my control. There was a mini ice age around the time of the American Revolution during the late 18th century. So I know the climate changes. Right. And this is pre-industrial revolution. So I know that history teaches me that climate changes. But also one thing that history teaches me is that fiat currencies always go to zero. There's not one that's ever survived. Nobody dives to the bottom

of the ocean to find old notes for bank currencies. They don't do that. They go for gold. And there's a lot of talk right now about the BRICS nations meeting next month. And I haven't made too much of a big deal about it. I've just said, look, this is, I think, a milestone. I don't think it's going to be earth shattering if they announce they've got a gold-backed currency or they're working on one. I think everybody already knows that. I think it's really about the world finally saying no, no, Moss. We don't want any more to do with King Dollar. King Dollar, it's been weaponized.

There was an article up on Zero Hedge today. I think it was like Gold Money Switzerland put it out about how the dollar will not be destroyed by the BRICS nations. It'll be destroyed by its own policy. And I think that's on purpose. I mean, how else can it be? They're not making one move right now to strengthen the position of the U.S. geopolitically. We're not making any of the moves

that our fathers and grandfathers made in the last 50 years. We're just completely going into managed decline. So my role right now is to try to source precious metals, to make them affordable and accessible to people. That's what Wise Wolf, that's what our mission statement is. We're very transparent. You can meet with me.

You can talk with me if you call the toll-free number. One of my team members will most likely pick up. You either deal with Kinsey or Patience or Chansey, but you can always talk to me. Even if I'm working the Denison location today and my son Houston will be here. So we're a family business, and it's really all about just trading in your fiat currency. Now, if you believe in the system, then stick with it. I mean, in my life and everything I've known, reading history and living through history, is that I'm going to bet against this system, guard. That's one thing that buying gold and silver, supporting the David Knight show,

taking care of your family and putting them first. I'm just not, I'm not into, I'm not going to support whatever this is that is the current ruling, our overlords. I'm not supporting that. I'm going to go into bed against that. So that's what Wise Wolf is all about. You know, Tony, it's interesting. You got me thinking about when my brother got married, as you and I've discussed, he got married at the Mount Washington Hotel at the place where the Bretton Woods. Yeah. Bretton Woods Accords were agreed to. And it struck me when I was there that here we are at this hotel that, you know, my brother rented out for this occasion, ballroom guests, meals, things like that. And just a family thing.

People freely associating. When those people were there, they were there to make other people live the way they wanted. They were there to rip people off. And the rip off is coming to a very climactic end. And we have to recognize these forces. They don't understand. They don't care about human interaction. They care about their angles. They care about their global strategies. And they care about that long curve of Fabian socialism, of Rockefeller corporate fascist governance that they want to impose on us. And I'd like to bring something up to you, Tony. I want to mention, again, if people are interested, they can go to davidknight.gold or Wise Wolf Gold and Silver Exchange. And if people are listening on their phones or anything like that, if they call the

800 number or the 417 number, either one, do you want to mention that now if you'd like to do that? Yeah, well, our main number is 888-770-1776. You can call or text that number. The toll-free is you can actually just text it on your phone. If you have a question about precious metals or you want to know about pricing or just compare pricing with us, yeah, that's 888-770-1776. Or you go to davidknight.gold directly. David actually has his own toll-free number up there that we monitor. So you can go to DavidKnight.gold to see that one as well. And I also should mention, and you and I will talk about this more towards the end, but if people are interested, they can also check out Ardburn Radio Transmission,

your own output of thought, analysis, paratroother, all sorts of great things that you put out along with America Unplugged on Rockfin as a former paratrooper. You are a guy with experience. And I'd love sometime, Tony, to do two things in an interview, two separate interviews with you. One is, and I've mentioned this to a number of people on my show, is I want to get people who are sort of part of that liberty conspiracy with their personal comments and thoughts to help us bond with each other. And wherever we are, you know, you're in Texas right now in Denison, whether you're in Missouri, somebody else might be listening in Kansas, wherever they might be, you know, David and

his family, they're down in Texas now. And to hear something personal, a memory that you have from your childhood, an animal that you had who did something amazing for you, a sunset that you saw, your first time having fried fish or catching a fish or, you know, something that will let everybody see the colors and smell the smells that you smelled and hear the sounds so that we get to know. I just I love those types of things. And I also am very interested, Tony, as people will see with Paratruther and they can go to Arterburn.news. That's Arterburn.news.

And this isn't done, you know, to just, you know, flagrantly flog the horse to get people to go. But it is a great resource. And your knowledge of history and your insight into the future is great. And your morals are spot on. I would be very interested also in finding out your thought process as you had been in the military, going overseas, and then starting to see a picture that you say to yourself, wait, I don't like what I'm seeing here. So we can talk about that at a different time as well.

Yeah. Yeah. Tony, if I can, while we're here, let's talk, first of all, about the interest rates and the Fed. As you mentioned, the fastest increase in rates. And it runs contrary to what we're constantly being told about inflation. We're constantly told, even though inflation still year on year is over 3%, according to them, which it's much higher, we're told that the rate of inflation is going down. They'll find any avenue they can to try to manipulate the language to make it look good for the people who are in office or the people telling us how to live. So how do you see this playing out? Because to me, this is a sign that despite their rhetoric, they understand that they pumped out so much money. And you sort of

made reference to this a little bit earlier. We know that the safeguards against this are right in front of us with hard commodities, gold and silver. But how do you see their rhetoric as a person who tries to deal with people honestly? And what are they trying to hide here? Well, statistics don't lie, but liars use statistics, right? Yeah. I think they've chosen their path, and their path is they want to keep the dollar as strong as possible because it's still the world's reserve currency. Geopolitically, strategically, I think that's what the Fed is doing. If you notice, the European Central Bank mirrors usually what the Fed does because, I don't know, are they owned by the same people? We don't own the Federal Reserve. I think that's pretty clear. You can read the creature from Jekyll Island and get you close to maybe who owns it, but it's a private central bank and the same

people and same entities, whatever they are. I don't know if they're people, but they own the central bank in Europe as well. And I think there's a global shift going on right now. And I think that's the issue, the historical shifts, whether you like it or not, I can't stop it. You can't stop it. The dollar is going to lose the world's reserve currency status. It just is. It was going to eventually anyway, but everything's been accelerated since 1973. You can look at the timeline. You have the birth of the Trilateral Commission. We never ran a trade surplus after 1974. We went off the gold standard in 1971.

The technology and the manufacturing that was sent overseas through these so-called free trade agreements like NAFTA and GATT and the WTO, we just hemorrhaged wealth and technology and all that spirit left America. And you see, that's why we have a Rust Belt. So we went from the greatest creditor nation to the greatest debtor nation, to the manufacturing marvel of mankind, to having to import everything. We're a consumer nation now. The wages, the purchasing power of the dollar, all of that is falling and people misunderstand it. They say, well, we need a $15 minimum minimum wage. Well, actually, what you need is you need sound money because you go back to 1965 or so.

And, you know, a dollar twenty five is worth in quarters, you know, and that's worth twenty twenty five bucks now. So that's the issue, you know. And I think I think people they've not taught this in school about what actual money is there. And it's something that you go back in Henry Ford. He said, if people understood the banking system, there'd be a revolution by morning. Yeah. And there would be because you are the victim in this. You, you're the pawn, right? And these, these controllers and the people that have the control of the money supply, everything that I talk about, whether I'm on my show talking about, you know, hidden history or paratrooper or whatever, or just just my show on gold and silver. Everything that we experience, it's an issue in our world today in the material world, not a spiritual issue. And some of it is spiritual, but it really always tracks back to we have we have a printing press run by psychopaths,

and they create fake monopoly money, and they create fake wars, fake politicians, fake news, a fake reality built on fake. That is going to unravel. My fear is, I think the worst case scenario here is they manufacture a crisis to put people into the central bank digital currency. They have the technology now for this totalitarian top-down control state. I think that's the hill to die on. That's what we have to stand against no matter what, is being able to be corralled into that system. That's why what I do, I feel like I have a mission and a purpose is tell people what money is, the history of gold and silver and coins, even talk about things like crypto, like Bitcoin, decentralizing, building a parallel system. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. system where they want to shift everybody into a CBDC because of course, if they can get the CBDC,

they can do even more of playing the favorites and penalizing the people who don't conform. And, you know, Tony, we're speaking with Tony Arterburn folks, obviously Tony Wisewolf, gold and silver exchange. In addition to that, Tony great fill-ins for David Knight. And of course, you know, when, when time is available, might be stopping by here again because he's been so busy during this time

when David is on vacation and so on. And he's my guru. He's my guide to allow me to come in and do the fill-ins occasionally myself because he gave me the tech. He gave me the advice. He's been on the phone with me. He's been awesome.

He's been awesome. And Tony, I love you, man. You're just the man. He's great. the phone with me. He's been awesome. He's been awesome. And Tony, I love you, man. You're just the man. It's just, he's great. And you see the way that they can game this system where already you talked about the hemorrhaging of technology and companies going overseas and so on. They were incentivized to do that for a number of reasons,

both carrot and stick. You got the stick of the, as I mentioned in the previous hour, the so-called regulations, the rules that they apply, that the assumptive reductive way that they treat people like they're just tokens to be moved around. They're just cogs in a machine. So you start your own company. You take your risks. You're out there. You're successful. You're producing meat. You're doing this. You're doing that, Putting out cotton, whatever it is, textiles. What happens? The government says, oh, you know, I didn't take any of that risk, but I'm going to tell you how to do your business. So here's what's going to happen. We're going to call it a rule. It's just an it's a guideline.

It's a it's a we're going to change our regulations. We have this regulatory state buildup. Well, what's the incentive at a certain point? Why should you even stay here? Why not go to Mexico? Why not go to, you know, wherever? Go to go to go to Singapore. Go wherever you could to get away from this. And you see everybody leaving. And of course, then. Yeah. And so they've got that incentive. Then you've got the payoffs. You got the carrots. And I'll show you this. We'll just go over here, Tony. Here is something from my Twitter feed. Biden administration forgives one hundred thirty million in federal student loans for thousands of borrowers who attended private career school. Now, it's curious. I know that in the military you swore an oath to protect and defend the United States Constitution to follow orders to that would be constitutional orders based where owes on the Constitution. When you were reviewing history or the Constitution, did you find that Article 8 million in there? Maybe I don't have the right copy that allows the federal government to now pay off other people's loans with my stinking money? Because it might be an invisible ink, like lemon. Maybe I have to put it over the toaster.

I think it's on the back of the Declaration of Independence. You've got to go watch National Treasure somewhere. Nicholas Cage. We've got to get Nick Cage to come go to the National Archives and break it out. No, obviously, we live in a post-Constitution America. And people talked about, you know, and I'm a member of the John Birch Society. And I've said, you know, they're against the Constitutional Convention of the States. I am.

You don't follow the one that exists now. If you followed it, we'd be fine. I don't know why we need to go amend it. It's just silly. We're totally past that now. The only hope we have is just getting down to grassroots. I hope more people start homeschooling. I like subcultures. I want them to break up. Again, bet against the system. Create your own system. Par, parallel economies, networking, like-minded people, local. Again, that is the way. David talks about it all the time.

And we're just getting distracted with national politics. I don't know about you, Gard, but I'm absolutely bored with it. I mean, I only read the headlines. I used to be involved in politics. And now it is literally so boring to me that I have a hard time even just keeping out like that it's like you know what they're gonna say before they even say it yeah oh yeah what's the Russians are before they even I mean it's like why I'm why are there Sunday talk shows nobody says anything you know it's just the same stuff over

and over and it's even it's worse today than it's then it's ever been there was that little disruption where Trump came in and then he just became clownish but you know he came in he was he was breaking things up and breaking up the monotony and calling fake news and i thought hey this is great we're going to talk about stuff and then that kind of went away so i mean rfk jr he's somewhat bringing it back but we're just we're just starved of any authenticity in in our in our discourse i find tony i find a a lot of, I derive a lot of enthusiasm and encouragement from watching people like you and David and others. I look at this contemporary merry-go-round, this carousel on which we're stuck, almost like I know it's history. And I

like to look at learning from history and how I can sort of bolster my morals. And you're one of those guys who knows the history. And so I look at this as these are all lesson opportunities that if I can, you know, offer some youngster an opportunity the way my dad did to say, hey, check out this story, see how it relates to that from history. And, you know, some of the crazy things that these personalities did to gain the system i look at as learning opportunities let me ask you this tony before we go um i want to show you a couple headlines because i talked about this just briefly yesterday with jack lawson and i also did it on my show on on liberty conspiracy on rumble and uh and rockfin last night just we started at six but I probably talked about it like

eight o'clock or something. But here is the headline. Did a quick Google search on the Bank of International Settlements. The Innovation Hub. I said Bank of International Settlements in this Google search, and I picked Google on purpose for CBDC. BIS Innovation Hub work on central bank digital currency. As you and I know, last year, the president, the great commander in chief, commanded many agencies to come up with ways that they could lead us to the digital currency. We got the future of money and payments from the Department of Treasury. And we've got central bank digital currency from the Federal Reserve and many, many more. And so I put this together last night for my little show. I'll show it to you here. I'd like to show it to you now. Sally Amarova must be delighted. The Bank of International Settlement is getting ready to entice, cajole and force CBDC. Now, I was unaware of this report, Tony. I found out about it because of the redacted people.

And I want to play a little something from the redacted people. They come in talking about Joe Biden's dog and whether the dog was coked up. Who knows? I feel bad for the dog being mistreated if it was mistreated. But here's a little something that they discovered from the Bank of International Settlements, a report that I didn't know had been released until Natalie Morris and Clayton Morris brought it up on Redacted. Here it is. 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 that'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 US dollar in preparation for a global a global new uh reserve currency 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 every item would receive a real world every real world item would receive its own unique digital token so so i just want to pause it there tony what i'm starting to see is they will take uh the

commoditization of things and turn it into the tokenization of things through their electronic tracking system. And literally you won't be able to, as Clayton brings up, you're coming to an airport, is your computer tagged or not? Oh, well, we don't know if you've got possession of that. And so they're going to translate the idea of being able to buy, if they get the CBDC, they will attach the things you want to trade to that as well and have identifiers on all the things you want to trade. And that is amazing. We'll go into this a little bit more because I actually checked out the website of this and I looked at the report and it's scary's scary what they're doing let me show you what it looks like on the screen here tony blueprint for the future monetary system improving the old enabling the new there's this guy hyun song shin you can listen to this or you can watch the video

and i put together a little bit more here on this video. So here we'll do a little bit more just to watch what Clayton offers. And I think his insight is spot on. And then we have a little bit of the clip from this guy from the Bank of International Settlements. And if people aren't familiar with that, we'll just take a couple of seconds before you go, if you can actually describe to us the threats and what it does and how it plays favors with people. We'll go back and forth a little bit on that because it's very clear. People were saying if they're going to do it, they're going to do it through the BIS. And of course, the Federal Reserve is going to be backing that up. And here's some more. Let's think about this, right? This idea that they could, I'm not

saying they're going to, but you know, your car, your house, all of these sort of physical items that need a token process, you have to get them, you have to get them digitally tokenized in order for you to claim ownership of these items. No more 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 everything would be that 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 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 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. OK, so before I do anything else, Tony, I want to show you a little clip from the actual video. So here it is. 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. 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. Tokenization makes all this one seamless operation. So Tony, I'll just stop it there. When he talks about money and other things are in separate databases, how about I not have my money in a database to start with? And then we can resolve these things. Are these the types of things that you see as problems that the market doesn't handle already? That's a good question. Why are they here? What purpose do you serve? And that's the thing. We live in this world built on fake, And then you have unnecessary people who control us from the top down, putting their tentacles far into society, building this control grid. You look back at the History Guard and the Bank of International Settlements. It wasn't born out of Breton Woods like the IMF, it predates that. As a matter of fact, it was the piece put

in after the banksters got their crown jewel, which was the United States of America. We didn't have a central bank after Andrew Jackson killed the second bank, United States. And that timeframe was the exact lifespan of JP Morgan. It was 1837 to 1913. This country did not have a central bank. We had a dollar as good as gold. We had a bimetallic system. And when Franklin Roosevelt assumed office after the Federal Reserve created the Great Depression, Ben Bernanke admits to that. You can go back and look at him saying that we did it. We're sorry. We won't do it again. Right. So they created the Great Depression. Franklin Roosevelt makes it illegal for you to own gold and you have to go turn

your gold in. Gold was $20 an ounce. it had been since the founding of this country that's why there was no inflation in the 19th century zero whatever something cost in the days of george washington it cost the same at the beginning of the 20th century folks there was no inflation we had a bimetallic system franklin roosevelt said turn your gold in where Where did that gold go? It went to the Bank of International Settlements because that is the bank of all banks. You talk about the central bank digital currency emanating from the BIS. I agree with you. They've even come out in the last couple of weeks and said countries need to change their constitution. Well, no, we just need to abolish you know supranational entity entities uh in you know and being invasive to our liberty right uh that you have nothing to do with us

we don't need you there needs to be a political movement in this country there needs to be a third party whose platform begins with opposing central bank digital currencies all biometric surveil currencies run by governments at all, period, end of issue. They need to start now. Tony, I think part of the problem that I've seen is, especially as I have stood in classes teaching economics and economic history, is that people blithely assume two things. One, they'll say, oh, well, we shouldn't have a central bank that's a private bank that's licensed by the government. The government, if we're going to have money, the government should issue the money.

And I said, no, the whole point is you got the private bank because the government claimed the power over the money. And then they said that they could give it over to some of their friends who had gamed the system. The problem started because the government claimed the power to order you to only use a certain type of money. And if you went by the constitution, you could have, as Ron Paul has brought up, you could have competing banks offering their own currency and they would have to be transparent to say, what do we have in stock? If you want to redeem this slip, do we have enough or are we going by fractional reserve? And we're not going to have enough that people call in

what we're supposed to promise them. That would get rid of the bad stocks of bankers out there, but they won't allow that because they want the bad bankers. The government, and as I mentioned yesterday, going all the way back to ancient Rome, when the Romans coined their money, even though it was coins and it was the Roman government, some traditional conservatives say, yeah, we've got to have that traditional thing. The Romans would shave the coins and then make new coins and then issue the old coins saying that they were still worth the same amount. They had an incentive to inflate the amount of their currency as well because they had to pay off people for their empire all around the world, the welfarism that they had started. If we have a private system, inflation, as you say, with crypto, that's a perfect example. Bitcoin is a great example. Why was it attractive? Because they promised people based on their algorithm, there's a limit. We can't just inflate this. We can't just invent worthless crap and make you use it. And you can't be made to use it. You can turn away if you don't

want this. The key is choice to me. And one of the things I just wanted to bring something up when you talked about Andrew Jackson. Another thing that is often offered is that is a misnomer of many people on the left wingwing side, and even some Republicans on the right-wing side will say, well, you know, the free banking period didn't work during Andrew Jackson. When he didn't license the second bank in the United States, when he didn't allow that, it didn't work. What they don't tell people is that in order to start the state-level banks, in order to start a bank in the states, the federal government stipulated that any bank that was going to start had to purchase a certain amount of state debt.

And then 14 of the 17 states at that time ended up defaulting on their debts. And so that's how that ended. But for a long time there, before the states themselves defaulted, that free banking period was very valuable. It was extremely important. And they got to that point because Andrew Jackson had recognized the inflationary problems of people like Alexander Hamilton and his mindset. So if we can just remember some of those criminal minds from then and look at them now, now they're supranational. And we got the Bank of International Settlements using our productivity and saying, we're now going to impose on you what money we want, and we're going to incentivize it with special favors to the people who tag along. So I think we just have to make sure that we don't have to feel bad that the government's going to be paying off more college loans for people with their CBDC if they follow along the lines. We have to separate. We've got to be the

remnant. And we have to say, I'm not looking at what those people are doing out there. I'm following my friends, my family. I'm doing what's right to God. And I am going to go with honest trade. I'm following my friends, my family. I'm doing what's right to God. And I am going to go with honest trade. I'm not going to attach myself to that demon system. Yeah, show me where the Federal Reserve's in the Constitution, and I'll give you a free silver dollar. You can reach out to wisewolf.gold. As a matter of fact, if you join the Wolfpack, you go to davidknight.gold and hit Join Wolfpack, and you join any tier or you upgrade. If you're an existing member and you upgrade, I've still got some silver dollars left. We bought a big cache of them about a month and a half ago. So I've been giving those away. So

join Wolfpack. There's almost 800 people all over the country. The bigger we get, the better deals everyone gets. And we've got some new programs coming out even for kids. Wolf Cub is coming out. It's going to be a little less expensive than the Lone Wolf, and we're going to put different coins in there. I've got a lot of exciting stuff for education and things like that. So that's one of the ways you can support, David. I do have to run though, Gar, because the shop's open now and I got people waiting for me. So I appreciate you having me on. You're doing great. Great content. Good job hosting. If you need anything, I'm always here for you. Tony, you are the man.

Thank you so much. And yeah, give my regards to everybody. And thank you for being such a wonderful friend. I really appreciate it. Tony Arterburn, folks. Remember, he is the Paratrooper. We'll give people more links coming up later, Tony. Thanks, brother.

Thanks, man. Take care. All right. You got it. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Isn't that music amazing? Isn't that just fantastic stuff? It's just wonderful to hear. And I had a great conversation with David last night. We were talking music.

We're talking about John Williams and his television themes and things like that. Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, The Time Tunnel, all those Irwin Allen shows, Lost in Space and things like that, Land of the Giants. And I was mentioning, back when I was a kid, my brother would record those themes and we would play them over and over again.

And it was just wonderful. And they were little compact nuggets of amazing songwriting that had to be done for specific purposes. And they would have little variations in them as they would show different actors do different things. And one of the things that I wanted to bring up to you is, in fact, I'll do it right now on the fly, actually. Let me go here. I want to show you something. I mentioned this to David last night, just in our conversation. I mentioned that if you saw the film Schindler's List, you know that Itzhak Perlman at the end of it plays the Schindler's List theme. And the Schindler's List theme, as my mother and I were in the movie theater walking out, they had a lot of people that Schindler had helped survive actually appear at the end of the movie, putting flowers on Oscar Schindler's grave and the music's playing.

And I said to my mom, as we walked out of the movie theater at the Bedford Mall in Bedford, New Hampshire, I said, Mom, I know that music. What's that music from? I've heard that before. And she says, no, you can't have heard that before, Gard. It was just written for the movie. You know, John Williams just did that for the soundtrack. And it was specifically. And I was like, no, I know that song. I know that song. And if you are familiar with it, it's it's I'll just sort of whistle it right now, sort of fit in with the Western theme. And we had the whistler earlier yesterday, but it goes. And then it branches off and does other things, But that's sort of the opening of it. Very, very somber and melancholy, sad. But I think you might find this interesting. Let me see if I can find the right one here. I think this is it. Yeah, this is the one.

I'm going to go with this one. I want to play for you the Strange Report theme because I said in, we went over to the little drugstore next door in the little mall thing. And in the drugstore in CVS, I said to my mom, I got it. I was like, mom, that's the Strange Report theme. And she said, what? How do you know this is? I was like, that was a British TV show that my brother,

who's seven years my elder, recorded on this reel-to-reel tape that he used to record things. We would play them on slow speed, fast speed, whatever. It was great. And I was like, that's the Strange Report theme. And I was like, it's just a different tempo. And she said, how do you know? And I was like, it was on for like four months on NBC. And then it was off the air.

It was like not on anymore. But my brother recorded the theme. And we used to listen to it all the time. And I'm like, I remember. That's a British show. So I think I've chosen the right one. Let me see if I can get it here for you. And we'll sort of play this as we go here. Okay. So I'm just going to go ahead a little bit here and start with this theme as they come in on the action alright, this is it they find a body and It goes like this. All right, here we go and then the theme changes after that but i knew right off the bat i'm like that's the

stranger for a theme it's just a different tempo. And it is. It extends some of the 1812 overture of Rue. But it's not really played that often. It's fantastic. The Slavic March is amazing. But now one of the actors in that is a young woman named Annika Wills. And that's a that's a picture of Annika there. Let me see if I can find her. There she is. That's Annika Wills. And I got to know Annika there. Let me see if I can find her. There she is. That's Annika Wills. And I got to know Annika because she was on Doctor Who and we got to know each other really well.

And she's terrific. Annika's great. So little tip of the hat to Annika Wills and The Strange Report. The conversation I got to have with David Knight last night was just so much fun. I had such a blast.

And I want to thank everyone for being so nice. Now, we had a question on Rockfin and more contributions. Oh, thank you so much. And I will remember, remind myself again, the David Knight Show over the next, this day, tomorrow, and Monday, I believe, for the love of the road will match up to $200 in donations. And I believe it's each day for the David Knight Show. And of course, if you go to thedavidknightshow.com, you can see the gas gauge. You can check it out.

And let's pop them right up there and do really well for helping the family. First off, I want to head on over into the Rockfin chat and we'll check out Rumble Chat as well and say hi to all the good folks there. So Johnny Vips, he tipped a while ago and I mentioned Johnny on the show just a little bit ago. And he says, hi again, Liberty Guard. Johnny in spiritual libertarians like me who are ready, willing, able and even eager to advance to anarchism, but are apprehensive about contract and law enforcement? Yes, I do. I have a number of those. One of the best authors in general on that would be Murray Rothbard. You can see speeches by Murray Rothbard at Mises Media. Go to the Mises Institute. They have virtually everything that Rothbard wrote. They have the Rothbard Library there. It's R-O-T-H-B-A-R-D. I used to try to sneak Rothbard's name in for characters

and scripts. Like I tried to name a German shepherd dog Rothbard one time in a show. And so yeah, Murray Rothbard's work, the book For a New Liberty would be an excellent one. I think you would like that very much. One of the very good introductions you can get that leads you in that direction would be Mary Ruart's book, Healing Our World in an Age of Aggression. You can find an online free copy. Mary's been a guest, as I filled in for David and on my show as well. It's R-U-W-A-R-T, Dr. Mary Ruart. And she is terrific. You can check out Mary's work. There is a book called The Market

for Liberty. You can look up The Market for Liberty. That is excellent. There's another book called Private Governance by Ed Stringham. Private Governance by Ed Stringham. There's another excellent, excellent book called The Problem of Political Authority by a guy named Michael Huber, H-U-B-E-R, Michael Huber, The Problem of Political Authority. That is one of the books that I introduced to my students that got some of the most positive responses. It's highly, highly intelligent, very cogent prose. And he approaches things in a fundamentally logical, systematic, philosophical, and then practical way. So he goes morally, philosophically, he absolutely destroys the social contract theory, goes into some of the philosophers, actually describes some of the things that I mentioned to students about the contradictions within Locke's philosophy, where he says, no man should be deprived of the fruits of his labor without his consent. And then literally in the next sentence, Locke says, and by his consent, I mean the consent of the majority. No, here's a guy who supposedly is defending natural rights. And he's saying that those rights can be cut down at any time by the majority voting. Well,

that's not natural rights. And he claims that every man enters into the social contract. No, no. Contracts can be done in society, not through government. You don't have a contract with government. That's a tautology. It's logically unsupportable. Government is imposed on you. If it's a contract, it is by definition not government, not the state, not the polis.

You can have governance without the government. But I figured that's an important thing. So Murray Rothbard, look up his works. For a New Liberty is excellent. Another book that Rothbard did called Power and Market is also very, very good. There have been a lot of people since Rothbard who were influenced by Rothbard. You can look up some of the great work by Bob Murphy. Robert Murphy's excellent. Robert Higgs, economic historian, is also very, very good. He's one of my heroes. He has a great speech called The State is Too Dangerous to Tolerate. So Robert Higgs, Murray Rothbard, Mary Ruart with her book, Healing Our World the historical examples going back in history to things like Viking Age Iceland and private governance for police forces and protection forces and things like that. Another great resource that I would really recommend you check out

would be check out Kevin Flanagan's, and you can look up Kevin Flanagan himself, but if you look up the Brehon Law Academy, it's B-R-E-H-O-N, Brehon Law Academy on YouTube, or do any general search for Kevin Flanagan, Brehon Law, and Mises. There's a very, very good speech that he offers about the ancient Irish Brehon law, the security it provided until, unfortunately, the British invaded and took over. But for about a thousand years, the Irish clans handled things without taxation, without force. It was reputation, small clans, and yes, they did have reputational force and they had ostracism and they had penalties. But it's a very good sort of parallel to Viking Age Iceland and their what was called Goddard system, G-O-D-D-A-R-D or G-O-T-T-A-R-D. That was combined with their religion, where they had a jurisprudential system

whereby people with conflicts who had grievances with each other could sign on to one of many, many competing temples. And the temples, in a way, were not just temples in the Viking religion, in the Norse religion, when they lived in Iceland, when it was warm during the medieval warming period. That's why I was familiar with the medieval warming period because people lived in Iceland and they were able to grow crops there very well. But the Vikings would handle disputes and they would have some adjudication in these temples. The temples competed with each other.

And if you didn't like it, you could go to a different temple. And you had what were called a goddard, which was a set of rights that were recognized in all the temples. And if you had a dispute with someone, you had a claim against someone, even if you were too busy, you could send someone in your stead to represent you in that. And if people didn't like the way that that the chieftain of that that little temple was operating, they could go elsewhere and they weren't prevented from going elsewhere. And they handled these disputes. If you watch the show Vikings, you'll see a sort of similar thing to that with the chieftains handling things. And it kind of goes back to the ancient tribes of Israel after Exodus, for years, when they were in the deserts before they adopted a king. And they were told, they were warned, don't adopt a king because they will take your men, they'll take a 10th of yourenance, and they will deprive you of your earnings. But, you know, men for war, they had it basically a tribal system as well, and they went to the

elders. A similar thing in Brehon, Ireland. So just wanted to bring that up, everybody, and thank you, Johnny, for doing that. Shay offers, thanks for all your hard work and fighting the good fight. Thank you, Shay. Thank you very much, and thank you for the that. Shay offers, thanks for all your hard work and fighting the good fight. Thank you, Shay. Thank you very much. And thank you for the tip. That is absolutely beautiful. And Greg, thank you for your contribution.

And also, MJ Nichols, high guard. Great job filling in for DK. Thank you. I appreciate that. I'm going to go into more. Once I can get, I feel like I've gotten the treadmill going pretty strongly on Liberty conspiracy. I'm going to start going into chunks of educational pieces that I can do separately. That will be part of what I offer for Liberty conspiracy. I've just

got to get a budget managed and figure out how I can get contributions and stuff like that. And, um, I'll hopefully fit that all into my schedule. So that's been a pretty big deal, but you know, we'll talk about that later on, but thank you very much. And thank you for watching the David Knight show, going to the David Knight show.com, mentioning the website, checking out D live or checking out the podcast, checking out the show on rumble. I want to actually go over to the rumble chat and see what the rumble chatters are up to there. Wow. a contribution over on Rumble. Let's find out about that one. Holy smoke.

Flower Sower, be blessed and prosper. Wow. Flower Sower, thank you. Boy, oh boy. And it's not enough for me. I don't feel like I've given enough. Later, when we can, especially over on Liberty Conspiracy, when I can bring people on,

like I said, if you want to join us over on the show sometime, occasionally I even throw the StreamYard chat into the chats so that you can come on as a talk radio caller and if you want to talk on my show, we'll do that once in a while. I've done

it a couple times in the past. I want to do that again. Just throw it out there. Yeah, it's a little risky. Sometimes you never know, you know, what person might be popping in, but we can always, you know, always boot them out or whatever.

But it's really fun. It's a lot of fun to do that. But I do want to get more folks for that Liberty Conspiracy show who maybe you've got something in your locality that's a historical marker, that sort of thing. And if you've got a phone, you want to shoot it, you can send me the video. But as an easy way right now, if you have a story about a family member or something like that,

like I mentioned to Tony, would love to get your stories. Someone in your family did something great in history or something that a family member did for you, or maybe a pet who did something just incredible. You know, as I mentioned, I broke my arm one time sledding. I had to walk through the woods, going across streams, stone walls, barbed wire fences. And my dog, as my arm is broken, I feel like I'm going to get sick to my stomach. I had to sit down on this rock, you know, in the snow, trying to get back home, broken arm after I'd been sledding, walking back home through the woods. My dog never left my side. And it was just, she knew, she knew. Those kinds of things, when you can impart those stories and you can see the images from somebody else's life,

they're just wonderful, wonderful, wonderful things. So thanks so much for those contributions over on Rumble and watching on Rumble. And thank you also, if you are interested, I should mention, I should promote it more. If you want to go to my sub stack, check out the Gardner Goldsmith sub stack. If you want to meet me on Twitter, it's at Gard Goldsmith. And again, Liberty Conspiracy is on Monday through Friday, starting at six o'clock on Rockfin and on Rumble.

So check it out. And I really appreciate everything that everyone does to support Liberty. Now I want to turn to another story. And I think this story will allow us to get into another theme. So yeah, I got to make sure that I get my, yeah, I got to get my little something going here.

This is going to be a topic I often bring up partially because it lets me play this song. So here it is, just a brief bit from the subject that lets me talk about it. It's our topic of immigration, one and all. Here we go. Yes, it's Wall of Voodoo with Mexican Radio. My sister can't stand this song, so I love to play it. I feel a hot wind on my shoulder And the touch of a world that is older I turn the switch that he has the twitch and the eye thing going. It's just great. Can't understand just what does he say I'm on a Mexican radio

I'm on a Mexican radio All right. Oh, fantastic. Fantastic. I've never been to Mexico. I want to go to Anarcopolco and see all the guys at Anarcopolco. But obviously we've got a big story coming out of

Texas. So this gives us the opportunity to talk about this one. And I'm going to go over to CBS's coverage of this with Major Garrett. And Texas over the southern border. The Department of Justice has sued Governor Greg Abbott after the state refused to remove large rolling buoys in the Rio Grande, installed in an effort to block migrants from crossing. The federal government says the barriers are dangerous and unlawful, while the governor said he had a right to defend his state's border. Last week, an internal complaint from a state trooper obtained by CBS News called the state's response, quote, inhumane. The trooper claimed he and other law enforcement officers were told to push migrants back into the water. He called the buoys a trap. So as I mentioned to everybody on my show last night, first of all, these balls remind me of

those Wipeout balls. And that show Wipeout was a lot of fun. It was this ABC game show thing. And my old college friend, John Hanson, was one of the hosts on it. He had the little patch on the side of his head that was sort of gray. He had that when we were in college. As I mentioned on the show last night, last time I saw John, I was walking off stage having done a standup routine and he was walking on stage. Great guy. We both went to Boston University and it was great to see his success with that show. But, you know, I think a lot of conservative people who are upset at the way the federal government has handled the immigration issue see this story and they say, oh, you know,

it's hard on the sleeves and, you know, there's a real problem there. And they're just highlighting this. These people make choices to cross the border. They're making these choices to take these risks. And, you know, there's so much bound up in this that I think a little more viewership of this gives a little more perspective that actually is worthwhile to see. Again, keeping in mind that some people might in, first, if they are conservative and they believe in the federalist system and they claim they're constitutionalists. And we might discuss this a little more tomorrow if we run out of time, but I'll give you a little bit more on this issue coming out of Texas and Governor Abbott. And in fact, I probably will talk about this tomorrow as well, because it actually opens up a great piece of American history that's very, very important when it comes to the states and the federal involvement in states and immigration. And strangely enough, it actually will tie to George Washington. But we'll talk about that tomorrow, most likely. I'll give you a little preview of it, perhaps, before we close the show. But here's more from

Major Garrett. Major, Captain, Commander Garrett. CBS's Janet Chamblee starts us off tonight. Janet, good evening. Major, good evening to you. These are the buoys in question here along the Rio Grande. And tonight, it appears they are not going anywhere. Despite the threat from the Justice Department, this one is very likely headed to court. It's a proverbial line in the sand. This one floating in the middle of the Rio Grande. Texas Governor Greg Abbott and the Biden administration at a standoff at a barrier meant to keep migrants out. No matter how much razor wire that Governor Abbott puts up,

it won't solve the border crisis. The Department of Justice gave Texas until 1 p.m. Central to agree to remove the buoys. The governor's response? Texas will see you in court, Mr. President. Tonight, the DOJ filed a lawsuit and said in a statement, this floating barrier poses threats to navigation and public safety and presents humanitarian concerns. The one person that is sowing chaos is Governor Abbott. That's what he continues to do, political stunts in an inhumane way. So, okay, we need to pause it there, unfortunately, because Corinne Jean-Pierre me thinks the woman doth protest too much.

We might want to bring up the fact that folks like Chip Roy and others like Jim Jordan have asked Mayorkas why the DHS is claiming that it's making all these apprehensions, but it's not providing documents to Congress about this. Strange, huh? So who's really part of the problem? What is the problem, right? We need to define all these things. And who's experiencing the problems and whose responsibility is it? Right. This all becomes a big problem when you put it within the government sphere and you turn it into the tragedy of the commons. Because, as I said, the state, as Frederick Bastier said, is that great fiction whereby everyone tries to live off of everyone else. So, so many people have differing opinions about how this should be handled, including people who live in New Hampshire or say, oh, Pennsylvania, who have nothing to do with what is going on in Texas. Stretch only a thousand feet along the state's 1200 mile border, anchored to the river bottom, the buoys roll if someone tries to climb over them. Along with newly erected razor fencing along the shoreline, it's part of a multi-billion dollar state effort to deter

illegal immigration. Now, what I said last night on my Liberty Conspiracy show is I say, man, that's a multi-billion dollar thing. What they ought to do if they want to save some cash, hire illegal immigrants to put the buoys up, right? I mean, that's cheap labor. You're all set. Make sure they stay illegal so they can't go above board so that, you know, if they get hurt or something like that, they actually can't reveal themselves because they might, you know, run into legal problems. Keep it all black market so that it's all within the criminal sphere.

Make sure you can pay them a pittance because, of course, it's black market and they can't actually compete the regular way. You'll save a ton of cash. You're all set. It's good. You're good. Hire illegals. Thumbs up. And of course, that whole term illegal. What do we mean by that? Right. Who are these people, as Seinfeld might say? They're termed illegal by whom? We're securing the border at the border. What these buoys will allow us to do is to prevent people from even getting to the border. But migrants have reportedly become tangled in the wire and suffered injuries.

It just hurts my heart. Epi Canoe store owner Jesse Fuentes is suing the governor over the barriers. What problem do you see the buoys posing for the migrants? They're just a hazard. They're a hazard. They're gonna deviate from that location to deeper water. Do you believe lives are in danger? Definitely.

Yes, ma'am. The lawsuit marks an escalating political showdown between the Biden administration and the governor over the southern border, one that has been ongoing since the president took office in 2021. Okay, well, at least, as I mentioned on my show last night again, at least we find that she wasn't the way an ABC News reporter was putting up fake crime scene tape with two poles and making it look like they were at a crime scene when they really weren't.

And at least she wasn't pulling an AOC and turning around, going up against the fence when it was really a parking lot, but making it look like she was looking at the poor people who were being mistreated. And as I mentioned on my show, at least the folks are not using footage from the Obama administration to make it look like some detention center that the Trump administration is running. And I researched those detention centers under Obama. And I have that information in a novel that I wrote called Flight, which is the sequel to my novella Bite. And it's about a guy who's an illegal immigrant and he gets roped into having to bring weapons over the border in a fast and furious sort of thing because these corrupt ICE

agents are going to go after his wife and child. And so this story, however, is, I think, very pertinent for people who call themselves conservatives and traditional conservatives. And I brought this up before and I want to bring it up again because this border issue and what Abbott has done are actually very important for people who call themselves conservatives. Now, I think it's very clear that most Democrats who are in politics could care less about their language, their harangues about the welfare of migrants and so on and so forth. No, what they care about is getting more people receiving welfare, whether they be migrants or natural born Americans. They want more people attached to the government teat. And if they can get more migrants in, that's one way they can do it. They think they're going to get more votes that way. They want them in the education systems. They want them on the dole.

They think that is a power block for them, right? Republicans recognize that. They also recognize the shallowness of many of the claims of these rhetoricians on the left claiming, oh, we care. And then all of a sudden they have the migrants appear in Massachusetts and Nantucket or in some other place where, oh, perhaps it's a Democrat stronghold. And all of a sudden, oh, this is actually a major problem, Major Garrett problem. So their vaunted claims to angelic status are quite empty. Meanwhile, on the Republican side, we often hear the Republicans talking about constitutionalism. And yes, I think that's right. We often hear them talking about the, and I'm an anarchist, again, we'll talk about the constitution and where they're actually wrong

on the constitution. But I understand their arguments that they think they're being constitutional. I should phrase it that way. The burdens put on school systems, possible criminality, whether or not they're a drain on the economy. And behind a lot of that is the same sort of argument against allowing imports, and what actually brought about the change in what originally was designed by the federal founders to be a state decision about immigration. And it came from a Supreme Court decision that stemmed from an 1872 California law that was the Chinese Exclusion Act. And it blocked Chinese women and laborers coming into California. And the argument that they made was that the Chinese women were going to get into prostitution and they might be carrying disease. And they also said that they and also behind it was they didn't want the low wage Chinese labor. That also is part of the factor in the United States. Unions don't want massive influxes of migrants.

They don't want the competition. Now, we've got about 12 minutes left on the program. And so what I'd like to do is just first mention to you that one of the things that Greg Abbott did, which actually does conform to the Constitution, and I will remind small government conservatives that if they think that the federal government has a role in immigration, they are 100% wrong. And they're running counter to their very purported belief that centralization and top-down command and control, central authority decision-making is bad. They supposedly recognize the Sovietization of things as being a bad thing. They recognize that the central authority doesn't have the local on-hand information, just as F.A. Hayek said, it's the information problem. Von Mises talked about this in economics, that the individual who is close to

something has that information, and we need to be able to express how we deal with the information in the marketplace to show what we think is a problem, what we think is valuable. And this I'll just say. There is no possible way to claim that a political border is actually a border. And the reason you can't. Is because the political border is imposed on people. And you don't know, unless it's private property, you don't know where people want a line of demarcation. You don't know where they want a separation. Just as we don't know what the real value of something is until someone buys it and tells us, this is my threshold beyond which I will not pay. We don't have a price on something. It's the same thing with a physical barrier. We don't know where that physical barrier would be, how high it would be, what the penalty would be for crossing it, unless we let individuals decide. And the polis, by definition, prevents people, individuals, from expressing that value. By definition, it doesn't allow it on a moral level or on an economic practical level.

So literally what we have are barriers, not borders. They're barriers imposed by political forces that run completely contrary to what we might value. And we don't know what those barriers might be if they were allowed to be expressed by real individuals showing what they value. It is impossible to say that what the government has done with borders actually shows the borders that people want. Political borders are not real borders. They're barriers. They are impositions between people, and we don't know what those people might have wanted. It's all done through the aggregation of the polis, assuming that it can express the values of all the people in some magical way, the same way that Rousseau claimed

that the general will was infallible, and it would be expressed through that magic building called the assembly and that they were infallible as well when they made their political decisions, even though they're completely disconnected from any human being who actually might be able to decide for himself and they're only connected to the human beings in that building, and they're going to force this on everybody, you can't say a politically forced barrier is a border. You have to have private property. It's just logically, calculation wise, it's impossible. So all the stuff they're arguing about now is an argumentation about a magical pretend facade that the government is telling you is the border that they're imposing on everybody. And then they're taking everybody's money on a centralized basis and claiming we in the government are going to decide how this is going to be policed. And you are going to have

no say. Even with private property owners in Texas, they're going to take their land to build a wall, according to Donald Trump, and he virtually did nothing. So we have all these people arguing what's going to happen. Conservatives want the central government to do more. Why? Why would conservatives who almost always correctly argue decentralization allows for closer information gathering, for more efficient gathering, for closeness to the actual expense, so you're not charging some person who doesn't live nearby something to subsidize something on this local level, right? Why in the world do conservatives want that? Well, because they think traditionally there's the U.S. Constitution, you have to have the nation state, and you have to have protection of the nation, right? Well, as I mentioned, in the Constitution, and I'll talk about this tomorrow

in depth, in the Constitution, you'll find this about this tomorrow in depth, in the Constitution, you'll find this in my booklet, Live For Your Die, and this isn't like a promotion of the book or whatever, and it has a picture of my dad on the back, taken in Hawaii when he was in World War II. That's my dad, Paul H. Goldsmith. Great aphorisms from my father on here. And we actually have a review from Sam Blumenfeld, which is kind of cool. Yeah. So if you look up in my book, you'll see. And if you look in the U.S. Constitution, and I mentioned this briefly, the word immigration doesn't appear in become U.S. citizens, not whether foreigners could be on the soil of any of the signatory states, because it was recognized that those states were semi-autonomous and even more autonomous, I think, in a much more productive, positive way under the Articles of Confederation, which were usurped by the Hamiltonians.

So one of the things that I won't go into, I'll talk about it tomorrow, actually. Good opportunity to talk about it tomorrow. One of the things that can be done by the states, if you look at Article 4, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution, and perhaps I'll do this and just call it up for you on the fly right now. You'll see that states can ask the federal government for assistance inside the states if they think if the legislature or the governor if the legislature is out of session if they claim that their republican form of government is in danger due to domestic violence or some sort of insurgency. So let me get the exact phrasing for you here, because this is the one area where historically

we can connect to the time of the founders and actually what Governor Abbott did in Texas just a few months ago. He's one of the few people who actually has done it. And I don't know if he actually knew that what he was doing was the only constitutional way that he could do this. So, and this will tie into our history on George Washington tomorrow. Here it is. Constitution.Congress.gov. Sorry to go to the government website, but this is the easiest one. Section four, Republican form of government. The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a Republican form of

government and shall protect each of them against invasion and on application of the legislature or of the executive when the legislature cannot be convened against domestic violence. So again, the governor can call on help from the federal government to call up the militia or the feds in some way to come in if the legislature of the state is not in session. Greg Abbott has asked that and Biden has refused. I wrote an article. I've included it in an article for MRCTV. And again, if you see that there, one of the things to remember is I've been in debates with people like Tom Tancredo and Pat Buchanan, J.D. Hayworth and a former congressman. And I said, look, it's not in the Constitution. Naturalization, how you become a citizen is there, but not immigration. It's supposed to be a state issue. And I will go into it in more detail tomorrow to actually flush this out for you. So we'll leave that as a nice little appetizer for tomorrow morning. But one of the things that I think is extremely important to mention before we go is they would respond with,

OK, Gardner, you know, you're right. I would go through the history and things like that. I mentioned Texas and its constitution has a Bureau of Immigration written in it. It was approved in 1869 prior to this 1872 usurpation by the Supreme Court. And they created out of out of whole cloth a congressional power to handle immigration. Every one of them, every one of them, they've been very congenial, very, very nice guys. They all agree. They cede my point. They're like, yeah, OK, Gardner, you're right. You're right. And I go through Thomas Jefferson. We'll talk about Jefferson tomorrow and the Kentucky resolutions. And and and that's number four, if you want to look it up, Kentucky

resolution four, just remember four, four, four all over here. They said, but it's an invasion. And I was like, okay, if it is an invasion, then what is the proper response? Congress has two powers on its own. One, if it's an invasion and it is a strict invasion as you describe it, you must respond with a declaration of war against the invading nation state, right? You can't just throw around the word invasion. If they are not uniformed combatants of an invading state and you're not going to declare war, the only other option to allow a president of the United States to court, and I'm an anarchist, right? So just want to stress that. I didn't sign on to it. I'm not condoning this. I'm just saying the

way that their rules are supposed to operate on an honest level is if they are not a nation state, not affiliated with a nation state, then you have to issue letters of mark and reprisal. That's the only other option that allows the president to hire mercenaries to go after these people. So the entire ICE border patrol paradigm is unconstitutional. It's a standing army. You're not supposed to have that. We were warned against this over and over again, and they've got it. And no one questions it. And conservatives actually bolster it. They want more money given to that standing army, which goes 100 miles into some states in Arizona and pulls people over while they're trying to get to work. It's insane. It's absolutely crazy. And of course, you have debates like this. The one thing that Abbott did. Oh, and the other thing is, if a governor requests help. And the legislature is not in session, then the feds can respond, but the feds can't on their own proactively or initiate their own action on immigration. There's some folds and nuances of this that I'll tell you about,

about the original 13 states tomorrow in U.S. history, back to the founding era. We'll talk about George Washington and this particular section of Article 4, Section 4 of the Constitution, and how that itself also ties into the immigration argument tomorrow on The David Knight Show. And until then, I will say a fond fare thee well, and thank you to David and all of the family of the Knight family for joining us in spirit and you for joining us on the program. I want to make sure that I've got all the tips covered and thank you all for joining me on the show. And I believe, let's see. Yeah. MJ, thank you. Thank you, Greg. Again, thank you. Shay, thank you. And Johnny, I hope I covered your question well. And over on Rumble, thank you for being in the Rumble chat as well, everyone. Christian Constitutionalist, thank you. Arizona SB 1070. Very interesting. We're going to have to look that up. I'm going to go back into some things. This is very interesting. Yes, Narrow Way Narrowgate says,

Yes, I know. Texas or any border state should have... Yeah, they're the ones. They should have the right to defend their borders and protect their people. To not do so is contrary to the legitimacy of the state. And I think you say it well. You got so many folks say such great things. I really appreciate it, one and all. We'll see you tonight, actually.

I'll do my show tonight, Liberty Conspiracy on Rockfin and Rumble at six o'clock. You can follow me at Guard Goldsmith on Twitter. And I will say fare thee well now. And thank you for watching. Thank you for donating. God bless everyone. Thanks for watching David and Shane. The Common Man. 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. Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing. If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers. Thank you.
