The David Knight Show - Thr 11Jul24 David Knight Show UNABRIDGED

Starting point is 00:00:00 Using free speech to free minds. You're listening to The David Knight Show. as the clock strikes 13 it's thursday the 11th of july year of our lord 2024 well we have some very interesting stories today it's amazing how our society is falling apart especially when it comes to air travel the tyranny the dei is really having an effect and we better pay attention because it's spreading to all aspects of our society. Fortunately, we've had some good moves to distance people from these kinds of mandates coming from Newsom. You know, he's going to add $20,000 to the price of a car. That was his plan and Virginia was in lockstep with it, but they're going to move away from that. We're also going to talk about George Clooney making a very interesting move.

Starting point is 00:01:29 And is it connected to the Obamas? It is kind of interesting to watch this pageant play out. But we're going to begin with the news today, so we'll be right back. Stay with us. so well let me begin with a correction and this was uh pointed out to me by listener and i've been calling lawrence o'donnell chris o'donnell well you know uh i don't know who these people are quite frankly i've only paid attention to this guy i i'm not sure but i think he's on msnbc i've only paid attention to him when he's done something stupid like he did this week or when in the past he did the stop the hammering thing so uh i won't be hammering on his uh maybe i'll just refer to

Starting point is 00:02:39 him as o'donnell uh but um uh i would just point out we all make mistakes uh steve when you sent this to me you spelled his last name in the in the top as o'donnell with two m's so we all make mistakes it's understandable these are not very important none of these people are unless they do something like say uh well we should have the entire staff staff supporting Biden when he's in a debate because you can't expect him to know anything. Nearly 10 billion passwords have been leaked. And what may be the biggest of these data sets ever. I mean, they've leaked, they've hacked everything. This is one of the reasons why we're going to have Tony on.

Starting point is 00:03:22 I know that he's not as skeptical of cryptocurrency as I am. And I don't wish them ill. I mean, fine. Go ahead and do it. If you want to do it, that's fine. I just am concerned about anything that's online. Because it opens you up to all of the clever thieves in the world. And there's a lot of really clever people out there that are focused on how they can uh rip you off and so they can watch to see what you're doing

Starting point is 00:03:51 and uh they can steal passwords they've stolen they've stolen the uh the hacking software from the cia nsa vault 7 that they used to disguise themselves to look like other countries. They've gotten Pentagon data, and they've hacked into the various financial rating companies over and over again. So they can get the most sensitive data, whether it's from a corporation, whether it's from a government. Don't know where this came from but they called it leaked actually it was hacked then leaked and it was put up on a online hacking forum they just put it out there for everybody to take a look at it 10 billion passwords that's

Starting point is 00:04:39 more than we got more than we have people on this earth and of course a lot of people in a lot of poor countries don't have passwords. That means that many of us have multiple passwords, and you should have multiple passwords. Don't use the same password for every site that you go to. Use a different one in case that site gets hacked. But the bottom line, they're telling people,

Starting point is 00:05:00 you need to use strong passwords for each of these accounts. Well, that wasn't the issue here. There might've been a strong password that was needed for the people that got hacked, but it was probably something that they found going in a backdoor. And these backdoors are always set up there. Now the lesson to come away from with this is first of all, remember to regularly change your password, especially since if it's 10 billion passwords, they probably got all of our passwords out there to pretty much everything. They just have to have the time to go through it.

Starting point is 00:05:32 So make sure you change your passwords. We have, as we're talking about surveillance, an interesting story from Breitbart. And they say the rolling, the self-driving cars are rolling surveillance devices and they're chinese and it's a concern if they're chinese they don't talk about the concern that you should have from these rolling surveillance devices if it's made by an american company or if it's snitching about you to the government here in america which is really kind of strange this whole article is about how we have to hide this stuff from china china is creating these um self-driving cars using all the cameras and everything else to do surveillance it's like they were telling

Starting point is 00:06:25 during the trump administration oh we got to get rid of huawei they're going to use 5g to surveil on everything when they have 5g they'll be able to get everything about everybody and it's like well that means that you will too the american government will be able to do that and what was really amazing to me was that the mainstream media would tell people that your concerns about 5g being used for surveillance as well as your health concerns about 5g they were all unfounded they were all a conspiracy theory well there's been a lot of research about the health stuff and of course the government doesn't want to do any research about that roll it out no time uh so that's real and then as far

Starting point is 00:07:07 as the conspiracy theory that it's going to be used to surveil you that was being talked about at the same time as a concern about china oh we should never worry about the american government surveilling us are you kidding me i'd much rather have the chinese government surveilling us. Are you kidding me? I'd much rather have the Chinese government surveilling me than the American government for obvious reasons. They're closer to you. The Chinese aren't going to send a SWAT team to your house under some presumed violation. But the American government might. And so it's not just the self-driving cars either.

Starting point is 00:07:42 They're so heavily laden with tech as well as any car that has some kind of online connection can constantly spy on you report that information they can report it to the local police in terms of how you drive to your insurance company to the government about where you're going everything is there and yet Breitbart makes it all about the Chinese that's the only thing you should be concerned about as Chinese companies test their autonomous vehicles on American roads concerns are growing about the vast amount of data these quote rolling surveillance devices are collecting and the potential national security implications uh yeah see the problem is is that our national security state doesn't care about your security doesn't care about your safety

Starting point is 00:08:34 doesn't care about your privacy it cares about their security and they keep everything from us while they demand to know everything about us. Fortune magazine reports that in recent years, Chinese owned companies have been quietly testing their self-driving cars and American roads, particularly in California. These vehicles equipped with advanced cameras, sensors, mapping technology are capable of collecting massive amounts of data about

Starting point is 00:08:59 their surroundings, including detailed video footage and precise geospatial information never talk about geospatial intelligence right these people will not talk about that why is that fastest growing part of the intelligence community for the last 25 years and it's where james clapper rose through the ranks and so forth but no this is only a problem if China does it. Because you know, if James Clapper does it, it wasn't intentional, Senator. Not intentionally.

Starting point is 00:09:31 We're not spying on Americans intentionally. Oh yeah, that's very intentional. Some Chinese self-driving car companies appear to store U.S. data in China. This leaves the data accessible to the Chinese government. And of course, these large corporations that work hand in glove with the government and have contracts with them would never turn over your information to the American government, would they? Despite these concerns, there's a surprising lack of scrutiny and regulation.

Starting point is 00:09:56 They're going to have more regulation, but not of the American government, not of the American companies. As I said at the top of the hour, it is a good thing that Virginia was one of many states that had linked themselves to California's arbitrary and excessive regulations about cars. And they have now broken that link. That link was put in, by the way, by Ralph Nolman, the Ku Klux Klan guy, the doctor who explained to people how, yeah, you could just, you know, if a baby survives the abortion, just leave it over on the table and let it die. Call that comfort care. Yeah, that's right well virginia has now decoupled from california's mandate

Starting point is 00:10:46 requiring all new vehicles sold in virginia to be electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles by 2035 this regulation ban on sales of new gas diesel and traditional hybrid vehicles was put out by the cal Air Resources Board, CARB. It would have taken effect as soon as next year when 35% of all model year 2026 cars sold would be required to meet California's definition of zero emission. So beginning next year with the 2026 model, because they leapfrog it by one year, they'd have to have 35% of them. But by 2035, it would have to be 100%. This all stems from a 2021 bill championed by then Governor Nalum and his allies in the California Assembly,

Starting point is 00:11:39 directing the Virginia Air Pollution Control Board to adopt regulations tying Virginia law to California's vehicle emission standards. And I've said many times that the fight is local, isn't it? The EPA is trying to shut down power plants with emissions. They're trying to shut down farms. They're trying to shut down cars and all the rest of the stuff. But you can make it even worse by doing what California is doing. They're moving even faster and harder than the federal government is doing.

Starting point is 00:12:13 Or you can say, no, thanks, and we're going to nullify that. The previous administration, Richmond, put Virginia vehicle policy in the hands of California. And what did Newsom do with it? it again this is coming back to newsom the guy that a lot of these people are having a civil war in the democrat party a lot of them want to put him on the ticket in the one or two spot under the new california policy selling any new gas diesel diesel, flex fuel, or traditional hybrid cars and trucks would be unlawful and subject to severe penalties. It would be devastating and will be devastating for drivers, for small businesses. It'll damage U.S. national security.

Starting point is 00:13:00 Consumers will be paying in these states where it remains, but it's not going to happen now in Virginia unless they put a Democrat governor in. He'll just do what Northam did, put him back on that standard again. But they'll have higher costs for new and used cars. Any compliance penalties levied on automakers, and they go up to $20,000 dollars per vehicle would also be passed on to virginia consumers that's newsome that's newsome well you talk about somebody that is really dangerous um and of course when you look at the bench of the democrats It's hard to rank them as one being better than the other. They're all pretty bad.

Starting point is 00:13:49 Staying on cars here for a moment, Volkswagen's shares, stock prices have dropped as there's talk that they're going to close a plant in Brussels. This will be the first time they've closed a plant since 1988 when they closed a plant in Brussels. This will be the first time they've closed a plant since 1988, when they closed a plant in Pennsylvania. This one in Brussels was manufacturing an electric Audi. About 3,000 people lose their jobs.

Starting point is 00:14:19 And when you look at what is happening to Volkswagen, they're really kind of getting an EV whiplash, aren't they? First of all, they were the ones that took it on the chin really hard. The EPA claimed that they had cheated on their mission scandals. As we talked about this many times with Eric Peters of ericpetersautos.com. We talked about this years and years ago when it was happening. Nobody was harmed. And it was a really harmless thing. And they said, no, you cheated on your emissions standards.

Starting point is 00:14:45 So we're going to hit you with $4 billion, with a B, $4 billion fine. And they brought criminal charges against the executives and all the rest of the stuff to make an example out of them. Why? Well, Volkswagen had come up with a very, very efficient diesel. And they had to shut down diesel. And Volkswagen got the message and they became one of the biggest advocates of electric cars and now they're getting the ev whiplash four billion dollars you better start making electric cars well they started making

Starting point is 00:15:17 electric cars and now they're going to have to uh drop um you, shut down a factory. It could lead to a loss of nearly $3 billion. $7 billion because of political bureaucratic tyranny from the U.S. government against the corporation. It's a German corporation, but still, this is a good example of what the federal bureaucracy costs us. And it's going to cost us everything if we don't stop it. Analysts have labeled Audi as Volkswagen's biggest problem because they have an aging design of a car,

Starting point is 00:16:00 so they haven't updated in a number of years. So they decided that they would put audi up front and have them be a leader in this move to evs and now nobody wants the ev and the question is is that going to happen is the ev uh bubble the ev jumping the shark is that going to happen with artificial intelligence i talked about this earlier this week and here's yet another analyst saying the same thing so he's very concerned that this fascination with the stock that the stock market has with artificial intelligence and pumping so much money into just a few companies he believes it's going to be a massive bubble and of course the stock market hasn't really done that well except for the ai connected companies so that ai is effectively useless it's created a fake it till you make it

Starting point is 00:16:55 bubble that could end in disaster james ferguson founding partner of the UK-based macroeconomic research firm Macro Strategy Partnership, says that the AI exuberance has created a concentrated market bubble reminiscent of the dot-com era. Or you could say error. E-R-R-O-R. These historically end badly. He said anybody who's of a certain age has seen this whole thing happen before. He said AI still remains, I would argue, completely unproven. And to fake it till you make it work in Silicon Valley.

Starting point is 00:17:35 But for the rest of us, I think once bitten, twice shy, may be more appropriate for AI. Oh, it actually rhymes. If AI cannot be trusted, then AI is effectively, in my mind, useless. In other words, if it's going to hallucinate about things. And that's the issue. Wait until the effect of cannibalism is seen. And it's been talked about. It's been documented by a couple of researchers at different places have come up with the same result that as AI continues to generate more and more content on the Internet, they said that as AI starts consuming AI content rather than consuming human content, it starts to get radically dumber.

Starting point is 00:18:26 So the hallucination is going to get even worse, far worse. When it starts consuming synthetic AI data rather than human data, it's very equivalent to what happens with cannibalism. When people start eating other people, they wind up with things like mad cow disease. There was just an article on Drudge yesterday about a remote tribe. And they engaged in cannibalism until very recently, just a couple of decades ago. What they got rather than mad cow disease was they went blind. And finally, the people convinced them

Starting point is 00:19:05 to stop eating their dead relatives. Whenever somebody would die, they would eat that person. And so they got them to stop doing that. But that's what artificial intelligence is doing. Once it starts eating itself, eating its own data, cannibalizing it, things are going to go downhill very rapidly. I look forward to that day because the killer app for artificial intelligence is what I spent time on yesterday. And that is surveillance, assassination, all of these dystopian, Orwellian, tyrannical things that they have come up with that's what it's used for

Starting point is 00:19:47 it's one of the reasons why the military has been developing this and it's going to continue that that's the one thing i think that these people who are looking at the ai being a bubble maybe they're not factoring in the fact that the government, which has funded this thing from the very beginning, wants to continue to fund it because it becomes this automated Stasi. It becomes using these swarms like I was talking about or just using individual drones. They can use them for assassination, use it for war. It's going to be very important for that, unfortunately. So forget NVIDIA charging more and more and more for its chips you also have to pay more and more and more to run those chips on your servers therefore you end up with something that is very expensive and has yet to

Starting point is 00:20:35 prove anywhere really outside some narrow applications that it is actually paying for itself. Well, that's the problem. It's not really there to help us. It's there to be weaponized against us, but they may have a great app. Uh, this is artificial intelligence. Scientists are developing tools to decode what your dog's barks mean. Boy. Hey, look, he's trained. Shake. Uh-huh.

Starting point is 00:21:09 Speak. Hi there. Did that dog just say hi there? Oh, yes. My name is Doug. I have just met you, and I love you. Yeah, Pixar's up. Now, they finally make that come true.

Starting point is 00:21:25 We always have this predictive programming. Well, finally, it's going to be something that's not our will in right well the issue is as many people point out the comments of this story uh anybody that's owned a dog knows that the communication is every bit as much body language as it is barking they wag more and bark less sometimes and so uh if you times you get no warning when they throw up at 2 a.m and they won't explain it to you even with an ai chip uh what they ate uh but you know they're always asking for bacon you know that, that, so you don't have to ask them what they want to eat. Uh, they want to gather more information from the dog's vocalizations, such as its age,

Starting point is 00:22:12 its breed, its sex. So I guess, you know, AI can speak Cantonese. Will it be speaking Pekingese? Um, I don't know. Anytime soon. It's, it's, this is a good example of the silliness of this. This is being reported by the New York Post. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:22:30 Developing AI to analyze vocalizations in animals is hindered by the lack of publicly available data. Yeah, they don't have anything to copy. That makes it a real problem for AI when they don't have anything to copy out there well from dog whistles to whistleblowers we have a whistleblower saying that the fbi is abusing security clearance processes to purge out conservative agents yeah we didn't know did you did you know that the fbi is actually politicized wow uh not a new story but uh just uh some more whistleblowers uh we've known this for a long time i've interviewed steve friend but this is kind of a dog bites man story i'm just surprised there's any conservative agents left to purge that's right

Starting point is 00:23:19 yeah exactly exactly uh this might have been the last one out the door. He's going to talk to the press about it. The security division of the FBI is abusing security clearance approval to oust agents believed to be politically conservative. According to a whistleblower complaint received by the New York Post, they reported that the unidentified whistleblower alleges that the nation's top law enforcement agency. Who would that be? Are they talking about the FBI? Oh, yeah, I guess they are. Suspends or evokes clearances of agents on the basis of their political affiliations or their lack of a Trump shot.

Starting point is 00:24:04 An MRA vaccine. How about that? Why is that so important? Well, I think the vaccine is a test. I think the vaccine is a test. It's a test of your discernment. If you have no discernment, that's even better. But if you do have discernment, are you servile? Will you do something that you know is not in your best interest that may inflict self-harm? Will you do that in order to keep your job?

Starting point is 00:24:32 If an FBI employee fits a certain profile as a political conservative, they're viewed as security concerns and unworthy to work at the FBI, says Whistleblower. The outcomes of clearance investigations were often predetermined by the division's acting deputy assistant director and the acting section chief responsible for security clearance investigations. They often overruled the line staff. This is coming from above above from political appointees because the fbi has been completely politicized and has been from its inception it's just that it's so politicized they don't even care anymore um so they overrule the line staff they even dictated the wording of

Starting point is 00:25:21 documents and the clearance process what you're going to say about somebody that's pretty amazing unrumbled dga says david imagine these lunatics on the left claiming that their dog is lgbt that's right well actually we had some what's it the bbc i think did some kind of a documentary talking about homosexuality and nature or something, they'll never stop. Some of them already claim their dogs are vegan. That's right. That's right. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:25:52 Nothing too insane for these people. They are utterly detached from reality. They don't live on the same planet. No. No, they don't. Yeah, I didn't have it down here to talk, but it made me think when you're talking about the people who think that their dogs are vegan um the sad story of oh what's the guy's name

Starting point is 00:26:13 the played batman um uh dating uh jennifer lopez um oh um i don't keep up with hollywood anymore anyway his daughters one of them and it's made a round of a lot of different and affleck yeah affleck affleck affleck didn't he sell insurance or something somewhere um ben affleck uh his uh his daughters are like college, just getting out of high school and going to college. And one of them will not take the mask off now. She has become OCD about this mask, won't take it off. And she went down and lectured LA city council or something, wanting mask mandates back.

Starting point is 00:27:07 So, and then the other one the other daughter uh said transitioned to a male at the funeral of her grandfather because it was all about her you know i mean the insanity in hollywood uh that that comes out of this. Again, don't envy people because they are beautiful or rich or famous or whatever. Those are snares. They take people who do have talent and just enslave them to this insanity. And even worse for their family. Well, getting back to the FBI, the FBI has used the clearance process as a means to force employees out of the FBI by inflicting severe financial distress, suspending their clearance, suspending them from duty without pay, requiring them to obtain permission to take any other job while stuck in this unpaid limbo and delaying their final clearance adjudication indefinitely, even years. Same stuff they're doing to the military.

Starting point is 00:28:12 You know, who wants to work for the federal government anymore after the way they treat people? It truly is amazing. And of course, the people are going to be left behind after they've purged everybody out of the fbi and the military uh that have any self-respect or you know and it's not even conservative i mean well look at this the conservatives are out there talking about how harmful the vaccine is and yet they support the father of the vaccine and when you look this is all coming out again at the House Judiciary Committee run by Jim Jordan, who will continue to vote for bills to build a give massive amounts of money to the FBI to build a brand of money and at the same time they hold these hearings and uh talk about how horrible this agency is but they never even restrict the amount of money they give them well uh we're going to take a quick break and when we come back we're going to talk more about dei i i saw a great acronym uh for what DEI stands for.

Starting point is 00:29:27 It doesn't stand for diversity, equity, and inclusivity. It stands for didn't earn it. That's the way that you need to remember that. That's the best acronym I've seen yet for DEI. We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. ¶¶ © BF-WATCH TV 2021 Liberty, it's your move. And now, The David Knight Show. Welcome back. I'd like to remind people to like the broadcast. If you're watching live, if you're not watching live,

Starting point is 00:31:32 please like it wherever you're watching it, downloading it. That really does help us to get the word out. Also, we have coming on tomorrow, we have Gerald Salenti. And if you would like to get a subscription to his trends journal you can save 10 off with the code night now these are very uncertain times we're going to be talking to tony arteman of wise wolf gold later today also david night gold will take you there but uh um they're very uncertain times and it's good to have some wise opinions and gerald has been excellent at forecasting trends he said i don't make predictions

Starting point is 00:32:12 i don't do the timing of it but we know where the trends are and so it's an excellent publication he does it on a weekly basis it's a big online magazine all the articles are hyperlinked and so again if you'd like to save 10 off of trends journal at trendsjournal.com i just use the code night uh we're going to get back into dei a vast didn't earn it bureaucracy is negative negatively impacting the u.s military says a study coming out of arizona state university well we all knew that as well didn't we you mean a military comprised of gay guys and women isn't an optimal fighting force i would have seen that coming i would say that if they prioritize everything to sex if sex is the preoccupation of their life and everything revolves around that, I would say that they really aren't focused on their job. And that's what I would say about all

Starting point is 00:33:12 of these people in all of these different positions that Biden has put them in. Sam Brinton, is he really focused on nuclear waste or is he focused on what that lady over there is wearing and can I steal her luggage and get one of these other dresses? That looks really good. I bet she's got some great stuff in her luggage. It's crazy. It's crazy to make that the number one thing in your life. It's just as disqualifying as if, I don't know, somebody that was addicted to crack cocaine or something.

Starting point is 00:33:43 Oh, wait, Hunter, you mean? These kinds of addictions are disqualifying. And as they focused on the DEI, this has been a long time coming. They started rolling this stuff out, talking about unconscious bias. Remember that? Oh, yeah, you're not real. You don't even realize just how racist you are. But I realize because of your skin color that you have unconscious bias and then intersectionality where they would look at immutable characteristics of people.

Starting point is 00:34:17 As a matter of fact, you know what your sex is or your gender because of the same thing. And, you know, they would look at that, and they would look at your skin color and all these other things, and, of course, your sexual orientation, and these things could be positive or negative. And so they would check these boxes, and then they would rank people by how many of the, quote-unquote, good boxes were checked and how many of the bad boxes.

Starting point is 00:34:43 That was intersectionality. Arizona State says the massive dei bureaucracy its training its pseudo-scientific assessments are at best distractions that absorb valuable time and resources at worst they communicate the opposite of the military ethos. For example, that individual demographic differences come before team and mission. Well, it's even worse than that because it's about people who didn't earn it. It's about removing merit, the idea of merit out of our society. Equal opportunity is a good thing. Everybody should have equal opportunity. That's not what they're talking about. They're talking about equity, and it's a a good thing. Everybody needs, we should have equal opportunity, but that's not what they're talking about.

Starting point is 00:35:29 They're talking about equity and it's a very different thing. Equity means that they're going to force results based on their intersectionality and these other metrics, but not based on people's performance. And that's why the wheels are literally coming off of everything in our society now. They said at Arizona State's report, the founders of our nation understood and feared a politicized military. Well, actually, they feared a standing army. Now, standing army will become politicized. That's the key.

Starting point is 00:36:02 But a permanent standing army is the problem uh history has shown them that a politicized army easily becomes a tool of tyranny the armed forces of the u.s have proudly upheld this long tradition of separating mission from politics i said but the surest way to eliminate the concerning trends that we have identified and the growth of race and sex based scapegoating and stereotyping in the U.S. military is to altogether end the DEI bureaucracy there. However, until such a time as the executive didn't happen with Trump. Or the legislative branches didn't happen with Republican majorities under any of these speakers, including the one that's there right now, Machiavelli and Mike.

Starting point is 00:36:49 So until such a time as these Republicans, because the Democrats love this stuff, do anything about it, choose to end it, we are going to have to advocate for change, they said. Well, just to give you an idea of how insane this is. In Germany, they just had a SWAT team, multiple SWAT teams, do multiple raids at homes of individuals

Starting point is 00:37:20 because they said they had made misogynistic comments on social media. Comments that were critical of women in general, I guess. But they raided them with SWAT teams. And we got a clip of one of those raids here. The meeting is now in order. We all know that the McGillicuddy girls gave a party the other day. And not one of us was invited. Now what do you say if we form a new club and call it the He-Man Woman Haters Club?

Starting point is 00:38:05 Spot team. He-Man Women Haters Club. Oh, we've got to get these guys right now. Now we go from little rascals to Brazil. That's where you are here right now. This is the society we're talking about. Going from a joke about the He-Man Women Haters Club to... Don't make a joke about that. Don't talk about the He-Man Women Haters Club to, and I'll make a joke about that. Don't talk about the He-Man Woman Haters Club

Starting point is 00:38:26 on social media or you'll get raided by the Nazis that are still in Germany, evidently. Isn't that insane? And yet, we look at the effects of did not earn it, didn't earn it. We have this, just this last week, here's a recap of just this last week we've had a boeing 757 losing its wheels as it takes off another one a boarding takeoff due to

Starting point is 00:38:54 a tire failure and then we had a near miss in syracuse and that's just in one week now the boeing stuff the ceo made it very clear that his number one mission his top priority was dei didn't earn it and maybe that's because boeing is a military contractor but the wheels are literally coming off because merit doesn't matter. But then when you look at the air traffic control, here's what happened with the, I call it a near hit. I don't know why people say a near miss. It seems like the wrong way to look at it. Oh, they nearly missed.

Starting point is 00:39:34 Oh, you mean they hit? No, this is really kind of, I think it's better described as a near hit. You know, there's certain things like that. When my daughter was learning English, she'd grown up in china and um instead of saying my nose is dripping she'd say my nose is dropping it's like oh okay well that kind of makes sense you know so you have these these different things near hit near miss who knows but uh here's what happened in syracuse, and it was, wait, before we get to that, well, yeah, we'll show that first.

Starting point is 00:40:07 This is what happened up in Syracuse. This is somebody has footage. Look at that. They hit each other, but they didn't, fortunately. And they zoomed in on that. Somebody has this going in their car. Look at that that it's amazing amazing how close they got and then they did a special report about it as well

Starting point is 00:40:31 there it is one more time well i guess it doesn't go into that report maybe i gave you the wrong one yeah that's just repeating here um there was an explanation and a computer animation that was in a clip and i think i put the wrong one in there uh but uh it's not even that it's just getting on a plane that's a big issue uh take a look at what is happening now with uh tsa adamant and insisting that they're going to get a face scan you You know, it was all voluntary. And we'll just make it go quicker for you. It'd be great.

Starting point is 00:41:09 So you can volunteer to get a face scan. Now they're trying to browbeat people into getting it at all times. And this woman has an organization where she tells people how to opt out of this and what you can do if you've got a TSA agent who is going to try to force you to do this. Hello. She's got a mask on. Did you go through Google Entry?

Starting point is 00:41:38 Yeah. Well, you have to take a photo through Google Entry. It says that I don't have to. It's supposed to write there. I'm not have to. There's a poster right there. I'm not going to talk to somebody. I know the procedure. If you want me to talk to somebody, I can do that too.

Starting point is 00:41:52 Why? I need money. I want to. Thank you. Me opting out of biometric theft and facial recognition tech at the U.S. border with a U.S. passport entering from a different country into the U.S. For those of you who don't know, my name is YK Hong. I do anti-oppression and liberatory work, but also I do tech justice work. And I talk a lot about consent and opting out of biometric theft and facial recognition tech. Now, I have global entry, but this applies

Starting point is 00:42:19 also if you just have regular re-entry into the United States as a U.S. passport holder. In this video, I encountered an agent who flat out lied and said you have global entry, you have to have your photo taken. That is not true. In past videos, I've talked about how a lot of the times agents will make it difficult. This is one of the taxes they use is they will just lie. Now at this link, I've created a downloadable wallet card that you can print out and carry with you to the airport that has all of the policies of not only CBP but also TSA and in this case the CBP regulations were printed and in a poster format right in front of that agent's desk so while he was lying to me I said actually no it says right here that I don't need to take a photo and I had to keep going a little bit you can hear that to which he replied replied, and I quote, sweet Jesus. And then once

Starting point is 00:43:06 he realized that I knew my rights, he went along with what he was supposed to do with the script, which is they have to get a reason about why you want to opt out. And I just try to tell them as little as possible because you shouldn't have to tell them more than you want to. So again, what does this tell me? It tells me that we should try to opt out as much as possible because they are making it intentionally difficult for us not to. The more of us to opt out as much as possible because they are making it intentionally difficult for us not to the more of us that opt out as many times as possible we alert them and let them know that we are not going to just accept biometric theft so as always if and when you can opt out opt out opt out yeah pretty amazing and so again she comes into the

Starting point is 00:43:44 airport she's got a mask on using it uh not because she's afraid of the germs because she's Yeah, pretty amazing. And so, again, she comes into the airport. She's got a mask on using it. Not because she's afraid of the germs, but because she doesn't like the German tactics here, the Stasi police. The website is keepbeyond.com. And she's got information there. But isn't that interesting that he is so adamant

Starting point is 00:44:03 that he's got to have her face scanned? Telling her that she's got to. And she said, you know, it's not always the case. But right next to him was a poster saying, you don't have to do this. So he got very angry. And he says, well, I have to put down a reason why you're not doing it. So he knew. He knew.

Starting point is 00:44:19 He knew that it was optional. And he says, well, I've got to put down a reason. Well, put down because I don't want to. So, yeah, I always say opt out. And quite frankly, I opted out of the scanners. I want to make it as difficult for them as possible when I had to fly. I don't have to fly anymore. I mean, it would be good if I went to events and things like that.

Starting point is 00:44:42 But I have decided that I'm going to opt out of the airline industry in its entirety. I have absolutely no plans to fly ever again. Well, except for one. Kick it off, boys. Play along, folks. Some glad morning when this life is over I'll fly away to a home on God's celestial shore I'll fly away Tell me how, Wally.

Starting point is 00:45:23 I'll fly away, oh Gloria, I'll fly away Thank you. I don't know. you're listening to the david knight show well uh we have had george clooney step into this in a big way and it's interesting because hollywood like clooney like katzenberg people are very angry with him. They said they've been covering for Biden. They've been telling us that there's not really anything wrong when everybody could see that there was something wrong. And it was just a few weeks ago that George Clooney was doing a fundraiser. Here he is with his pals. There he is standing right next to Biden because, you know, you have to get behind somebody

Starting point is 00:47:42 before you can stick a knife in their back. So there's Biden flanked on either side george clooney julia roberts and there's obama now julia roberts hasn't weighed in on this but the other two have quite quite a bit and as people are saying george clooney has now put out an op-ed piece talking about how yeah you know that guy that was there a few weeks ago when we had that fundraiser and they raised $30 million, $30 million for him. And he says, yeah, that guy, that was the same guy that we saw at the debate. And he really needs to step down. I really love him. He's a great guy. You know, as Mark Anthony said, said brutus is an honorable man right he stuck the knife in uh but uh yeah this is uh this is the pals of of uh joe biden as people said if you

Starting point is 00:48:35 if you want a friend in washington get a dog even if he doesn't have the collar that speaks in english you want to get a dog if you want a friend in Washington. And so he has come out, as I said, he wrote an op-ed piece. And remember, again, it was just a few weeks ago. We talked about it, how he had to be helped off of the stage. Here he is as he doesn't know to leave. As you see this happening in so many different events. And so Obama waves quite a bit, and then he says, OK, it's time to go. He's just kind of frozen there on the stage.

Starting point is 00:49:19 He grabs him by the arm, leads him off, as we've seen the Easter Bunny, Jill, the Italian prime minister, and now this is Obama leading him off, putting his arm around him, helping him to get off the stage and find his way. Well, they were asked, the press secretary, Jean-Pierre KJP, let's say, asked her, what's the matter with him? She said, that's just a cheap fake. The people are manipulating that. They're taking that clip out of context and everything. Well, no, we can see what it is uh now he says that biden is the same man at the debate that he was at that fundraiser and so now he's admitting it and he um actually said in as part of his op-ed piece that he put

Starting point is 00:50:02 out he said that joe biden i was with three weeks ago at the fundraiser was not the Joe Big Deal Biden of 2010. He wasn't even the Joe Biden of 2020. But he was the same man we all witnessed at the debate. Wow. You mean it was this bite now the obama part okay so hollywood uh a lot of people in hollywood a lot of these big financial backers are out there saying well uh you know we didn't know any of this stuff and of course they all did and then uh john favreau who is one of the kind of inner circle of brock obama they call them the obama bros he confirmed what george clooney said in his op-ed piece about

Starting point is 00:51:28 biden's physical condition and mental condition former obama advisor john favreau broke his silence concerning biden's mental fitness on tuesday isn't this interesting the obama connection i mean is uh this kind of the way they maneuver this stuff so they can get big mike in uh there may be uh some truth to that the question though is will they be able to do this because you know biden still has the levers of power or whoever it is that is controlling him but this is what favaro said he said it was not surprising to any of us who were at the fundraiser he said i was there clooney was exactly right and every single person i talked to at the fundraiser thought the same thing except for the people working for biden or at least they didn't say that and you know every single person in the democrat party and the

Starting point is 00:52:21 american public might think that but guess? If the people who are part of this Biden collective don't want to go, it's going to be pretty hard to get them out of office. I mean, what are they going to do? Are they going to do like a protest in Washington and maybe march through the Capitol building? We know how that video ends, don't we? John Favreau, a member of the group often referred to as the Obama Bros during his tenure in the White House, said this during an appearance at CNN. Well, they have to have a charismatic star to sell all this stuff. They needed charismatic stars to sell you Biden.

Starting point is 00:52:57 And now they need a charismatic star that's going to sell you the next step. Somebody put together this video which is excellent so although i wish i were here with better news the fact is that you and i are sitting here today because this will be your last week of employment this is not an assessment of your productivity. Try not to take this personally. Well, I just had a bad night. Yeah, just... He's doing that blank stare that he's got there. I don't remember the name of that movie. It was a movie that George Clooney was...

Starting point is 00:53:39 He was this person they brought in to fire a lot of people, that's his job he goes from place to place when they're having mass layoffs and he brings the people in one by one so they masterfully put that through well you know you might lose your job if you say something negative about biden george stephanopoulos who was very highly connected in the clinton administration uh and in the white house there um and then went to abc news and has been there since he left uh since the clinton white house um there's reports that he was threatened that if he didn't take back an off the marker uh off the cuff remark about biden that he might be fired. That's pretty amazing.

Starting point is 00:54:25 George Stephanopoulos is one of their key people. Threatened with being taken off the air if he didn't clarify his position on Biden's ability to serve another four years. They might bring in George Clooney and have George Clooney have that talk with George Stephanopoulos. I just had a bad night.

Starting point is 00:54:45 The ABC host gave his blunt assessment of the president's performance in a brief interview when he was ambushed on Tuesday. He was asked on the street in Manhattan if Biden should step down. He responded, I don't think he can serve for more years. Oh, oh, because you see, he had just had that interview that aired over the weekend. He had the first interview with Biden after the debate, and it was a recorded interview. It was not a live interview.

Starting point is 00:55:15 He should have known, I guess, that ABC wanted to make Biden look as good as possible. That was the whole point of not doing it live. And then somebody asked him on the street, and he just made the mistake of telling them the truth. You're not supposed to do that as a mainstream media journalist. You're supposed to sell the agenda or whatever. Don't tell people the truth.

Starting point is 00:55:39 Stephanopoulos appeared to quickly regret his off-the-cuff remark. He offered a statement of regret after he was allegedly issued an ultimatum. He said, earlier today, I responded to a question from a passerby I shouldn't have. ABC News issued their own statement and said, George expressed his own point of view and not the position of ABC News. But, as the Daily Mail says, what the two statements didn't reveal was the alleged crisis that Stephanopoulos' nine words kicked off at the highest level of ABC. News Division President Deborah O'Connell called a panicked meeting with advisors and executives on Tuesday night, including public relations consultants, it was reported an insider said to radar online this was a full-fledged crisis and it exploded with far-reaching reverberations she is then said to have hauled

Starting point is 00:56:33 stephanopoulos into a private meeting where she gave him an ultimatum apologize or be yanked off the air now why is this important i mean this is internal politics of these mainstream media organizations that are based online i think it's important because it shows the power that still is possessed by biden and as i said from the very beginning i think that certainly uh there is um a movement within the democrat party and it was there from the very beginning because they scheduled this first debate so incredibly early. As I said after the debate, I said, normally these debates don't happen before the convention because normally you have a primary.

Starting point is 00:57:20 And normally, if it's a contested primary, you have one person besides, you got somebody that's out front pretty far. And you got somebody else who's in a second place. And there's questions as to whether or not he might be able to do something or she at the convention. And so they keep that tension there if for no other reason than to get people to watch the convention. But that didn't happen this time. This time they did it several weeks before the very late Democrat convention. The Democrat convention was set up so late that they had to make special arrangements with Ohio and some other states to make sure that Biden

Starting point is 00:58:02 would be on the ballot because they're supposed to have an officially inaugurated candidate by a certain date. And the convention wasn't even going to take place by that date. Typically what happens is the convention is earlier, the debates are later. You usually have the convention

Starting point is 00:58:19 and then you have, and that's sometime in late July or early August for both of the parties. Then you'll have the first debate at the end of September. Then a second debate in the middle of October. And a third debate at the end of October, just a few days before the election. That's not happening this time. So there's something going on within the Democrat Party.

Starting point is 00:58:43 There is some move to try to muscle him out some way to do this kind of mini primary, this primary blitz and stuff like that. But I stick to what I said. I'm still convinced that there's enough power there in the White House where they can intimidate ABC News and get them to threaten to fire Stephanopoulos for a comment that he made on the sidewalk. There's a lot of power there. There's a lot of power that can be wielded against the media, a lot of power that can be wielded, especially within the Democrat Party. And I think they know that they're trying this new novel way to do this, but I don't think they're going to pull it off.

Starting point is 00:59:22 Quite frankly, you can expect the Trump campaign and the GOP to seize on this you can also expect the white house to avoid abc news moving forward see biden will never sit down with stephanopoulos ever again so that's some of the people who talked to daily mail biden made it through the 22 minute abc news interview on friday without any major blunders well what the daily Mail doesn't tell the readers is that it was recorded and edited to make sure that they minimized the blunders. He did have blunders. He didn't have any major blunders because it was not live. And so as Real Clear Politics says, and I agree,

Starting point is 01:00:01 Joe Biden's cognitive issues are destined for the memory hole i think that's right i think he's staying there will be no reckoning among democrats and their media lapdogs regarding their years-long effort to hide president biden's mental decline no one is going to lose their job precisely because that is their job to cover up to spin false narratives to lie to people that's one of the most interesting things about this when you see people like federman say well at least he's not a liar you know he may be mentally impaired or whatever but he's not a liar well you're lying about his mental impairment you've been lying to people about that you finally admitted the truth of that but uh anyway they're

Starting point is 01:00:41 going to keep doing it and if it becomes clear that that Joe's not going to go, the party and the propaganda outlets will quickly pivot. They will discuss his physical discussions about his physical mental capacities will be shoved down the memory hole. And of course, I think you see this already happening with ABC News. They've already done that. They've already made that pivot. He said voters, they'll tell people, well people well you know voters already know about his limitations so what's the point of continuing to talk about it he said late night comics such as stephen cobert and jimmy kimmel will probably try to make his ramblings kind of lovable that's exactly what i said just like wag the dog he's going to be old shoe the lovable old shoe the affable underdog even though this guy is one of the most authoritarian

Starting point is 01:01:31 dictators i've ever seen in my life all of his life he absolutely absolutely despises the idea of natural rights he he got into a fight with clarence thomas over that when clarence thomas was in his confirmation hearings he hates the bill of rights he hates natural rights. He got into a fight with Clarence Thomas over that when Clarence Thomas was in his confirmation hearings. He hates the Bill of Rights. He hates natural rights. He hates the Declaration of Independence. He hates all that stuff. The guy has had, he is the person who is responsible more than anybody for having things like civil asset forfeiture, mandatory minimums, for gun bans, and all the rest of this stuff. One of the most tyrannical dictatorial politicians I've seen in my life. And yet they're going to portray him as this kindly old man. People are making fun of him.

Starting point is 01:02:12 They're going to pull the sympathy card. Because we all have had relatives who have had dementia of some sort as part of aging. And so they're going to make him the sentimental favorite. He'll be kind of lovable. You know, Joe says the darndest things, doesn't he? News coverage instead will seek to make the contest about Trump and his fitness for office. And he will oblige them by being his usual vicious, narcissistic self.

Starting point is 01:02:44 And so, you know, he's going to be out there throwing insults at people. vicious narcissistic self. And so, you know, he's going to be out there throwing insults at people. You know, poor old Joe. We know that he's got these aging issues. And they will use that, the vicious narcissism of Trump, to tell everybody that he is the authoritarian. And he is. You know, they both are.

Starting point is 01:03:05 A good example of this, as they pointed out in real clear politics. Joy Reid, who said, if it's Biden in a coma, I'm going to vote for Biden in a coma to keep Hitler out of the White House. We've already seen Whoopi Goldberg say, I don't care if he poops his pants, I'll still vote for him. poopy goldberg is going to support him no matter what the real mystery going forward what other tricks do democrats and the establishment media have up their sleeves to turn things around and who is it that's trying to benefit from this is this the obamas well look at that having already thrown the kitchen sink at trump it's hard to imagine that some new narrative about his evil nature will sway undecided voters. Well, I don't know about that. We'll have to see.

Starting point is 01:03:52 I mean, there is a tremendous amount of power. If you don't think they've got a lot of power, just take a look at Ben Affleck's daughter. Take a look at many people that you know that are still scared and hiding behind a mask and want to demand that from other people the power of propaganda is absolutely astounding yeah put in some kind of feel free to give me some comments about what you think is going to happen with us and who what is behind this but one last thing here before we take a break uh biden's costliest publicity stunt yet is going to be dismantled permanently uh yeah that's that gaza pier thing you know biden truly is without pier he is that thing has uh had so many problems well they put it back

Starting point is 01:04:38 together again one more time to show that they can take it down instead of it being taken down by a storm or just falling apart. But it is the perfect metaphor, isn't it? Of not just the Biden administration, but of course of the whole federal government. The bureaucratic failure. The unnecessary complications and expenses to try to achieve a goal that maybe wasn't even something that we should be involved in. The pier built by the U.S us military to bring humanitarian aid to gaza and again one of the biggest rube goldberg pieces of nonsense we've ever seen that a military veteran who was in logistics talking about how silly the whole idea was uh unloading it on another pier putting it on a boat and trucks

Starting point is 01:05:27 and that type of thing they coming to this thing and then driving you know several football fields to put it on there because we can't uh use we're not going to be allowed by our supposed allies israel to actually park the stuff there and give people food or even to just drive through the road that they blocked right why don't you use your political clout to tell your political friends to let us give food to people that's your mission oh wow uh we'll build this peer thing weakness complicated bureaucracy and the inability to do anything at all it It'll be reinstalled. Actually, it was reinstalled yesterday. They'll use it for several days and then pull it out completely

Starting point is 01:06:09 so they don't get embarrassed anymore. Well, we're going to take a quick break, and we'll be right back. Stay with us. The Lepidus Succes! Thank you. Making sense common again. You're listening to The David Knight Show. well before we leave politics i have to show you this clip and it is a visual clip maybe you've seen it uh this clip of maxine waters and she's being interviewed and she doesn't realize that she's on screen so it's's a two up shot, right? The person who's talking to her and Maxine is sitting there. What I think is funny, actually, that most people have not talked about is why they didn't cut away when they saw it.

Starting point is 01:08:36 I guess somebody in the control room was having a good time watching her start to adjust her wig. And so if you're listening on audio uh check it out somewhere but um i just had to show this this is um uh maxine waters and i don't know how this woman i mean first of all i look at it it's like why didn't they cut away from her in the control room secondly uh kudos to this uh woman who is interviewing her who just keeps talking as if there's nothing unusual happening she's watching maxine wig out they've seen president biden they've lived through his presidency they've also seen former president trump they've lived through his presidency they've heard these arguments about democracy about the fate of the election and yet trump is not only winning but winning increasingly by a larger margin

Starting point is 01:09:31 so what is the plan among democrats to change that trajectory it sounds like you're talking about saying and doing all the same things but do you believe that something needs to change? I think we need to keep working. Well, Babylon Bee had the perfect response to it. They said Maxine Waters announces that she's leaving the Democrats to join the Whig party. Something in her headspace really shifted, said an aide, that the old party was no longer the right fit after trying to make repeated adjustments to make her old party work waters decided that it was time to give up and to join the wigs so she could put her fresh look on an old party said it's been a long time since the wigs were on top of things but i feel that i know and i'm confident that i know how to fix the wigs though the move caught pundits off guard sources in the party stated that they long knew of water's affinity for wigs they said it's no secret

Starting point is 01:10:40 that she's been on team wigs for years and i said a congressman on condition of anonymity she's just waiting for the right moment to make her parting move it really looks good for her well you know we can laugh about that and yet the big discussion as we come up into the veep stakes for trump and um you know the party that the uh the republican national convention i guess we should say the trump national convention he's replaced the party now that's going to begin on monday and the question is whether he's going to announce the he said he's going to announce the his vp choice uh before just before it uh but now he's made some indications that he might wait until the the uh convention itself to make it more dramatic to try to get people to watch it i guess

Starting point is 01:11:32 but as they're talking about the three uh rumored top candidates and it's been for quite some time everybody's been saying well he's going to pick either bergum the governor of north dakota or marco rubio or jd vance and so you're seeing stuff in mainstream media about how well you know he he likes the way that bergum looks he looks very rugged and everything you know and he looks very presidential. I guess you could see him on Mount Rushmore. So maybe he'd go with a Burgum. Well, if he goes with Burgum, it's going to be because Burgum's been participating in this Summit CO2 pipeline,

Starting point is 01:12:19 one of the most absurd boondoggles, crony capitalism nonsense i've ever seen in my life and the summit ceo has been at mar-a-lago along with the north and south dakota governors they're going to pump co2 across the country so they can insert it into the ground in north and south dakota well you talk about wasteful green projects greenwashing corruption uh the democrats don't have anything that's any better than that you know that's as ridiculous as anything so you know bergham is also a billionaire so you know he can bring money to the campaign but they don't talk about that they talk about his looks yeah maybe he could get a wig you know who knows uh and then they talk about well i don't know this is the article going around multiple mainstream media sites yesterday picked up by the drudge report and everything i don't know if he's going to pick jd vance because he doesn't like beards and so then you have

Starting point is 01:13:20 brian kill me that's the have pronounced his name. You know, Brian is the reason that I'm doing an early morning show. I'm not an early morning person. You know, I, when it came time to pick a, what time we're going to do the show, I was driving in one morning and I heard Brian on the radio and I was going

Starting point is 01:13:39 to be on a lot of different radio stations and said, that's the guy I want to compete against. It's got anything to say. So he gets an opportunity to talk to trump what does he ask him about uh does he ask him about the vaccines or the lockdowns or the gun control by executive order no he doesn't ask about any of that stuff instead what he does he asked him i've heard you don't like beards uh are you going to uh pass over jd vance because then he goes oh no i i like beards i think it makes him look like a young lincoln young lincoln well maybe if he was about a hundred pounds lighter

Starting point is 01:14:11 and a couple of feet taller he might look like a young lincoln but uh and so then the third one oh before we leave jd vance uh the the left and mainstream media is going back and finding comments that they all have made uh about trump um that were negative and they found a comment from jd vance where he was on an interview and and it was um about i think she was a stewardess some a woman on a plane i think she was a stewardess claimed that trump had groped her and that type of thing and um so they asked him he said well i don't know he says it's a he said she said he goes who you're going to believe uh the woman or the guy who always tells the truth very sarcastic remark so it remains to be seen if i mean trump would have known that it's not that he didn't know any of this stuff uh so uh you know when you look at these uh these issues they've all

Starting point is 01:15:11 said things especially rubio because he was running against trump back in 2016 but then of course there's also the issue that many people pointed out that you if you follow the constitution which i don't know are we going to start following the constitution again in this country why why would we do that i don't know uh but if you say that we're going to if we're going to follow the constitution well then you can't have both the president the vice president be from the same state and both rubio's florida now trump's residence is there so that kind of knocks rubio out so it takes it back to really i guess bergham and jd vance my guess is since there's been so much written about jd vance that uh that's probably who he's going to pick the other thing is he's also um picked um his uh his son trump

Starting point is 01:16:00 jr uh is supposedly really good friends with jd vance and um and of course trump jr has a beard as well i don't know so um you know maybe that'll be what happens who knows i think maybe when it comes to this veep steak uh he might be playing jd tress who knows instead of 3d or 4d chess uh but we're going to take a quick break, and we'll be right back. Tony's having some Internet issues. He may not be able to join us, but I've got a lot to talk about here. So we're going to take a quick break, and we hope that Tony can come in, but we'll be right back. ORGAN PLAYS in a world of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act

Starting point is 01:17:21 you're listening to The David Knight Show. Well, let's talk a little bit about fines and fires. We have, as I said earlier, Volkswagen is now going to possibly lose another $3 billion because they decided that they would bow to the pressure of the U.S. government after they got hit with $4 billion in fines. Now they got hit with $3 billion, $, now they got hit with $3 billion, $4 billion because the government didn't like what they're doing, $3 billion because consumers don't like what they're doing, don't want the EV.

Starting point is 01:17:54 So GM is going to have to pay $146 million in penalties for emission violations on 6 million older vehicles. They're not getting hit with a $4 billion fine, but it's 146 million. This week, it was reported that GM will have to fork over 146 million in penalties due to 6 million of its older, older vehicles, not complying with emissions and fuel standards.

Starting point is 01:18:16 According to the AP, the report said that the national highway traffic safety administration, by the way, these are the same bureaucrats that are giving passes to these um self-driving cars that keep having crashes uh the national highway traffic safety administration said that these model years failed to meet federal fuel economy standards the epa found that gm pickup trucks emit over 10% more CO2 than initially claimed. And this is exactly what they had come after VW for, for $4 billion.

Starting point is 01:18:51 These vehicles consume more than 10% stated on the window stickers, but will not be repaired or have their MPG ratings adjusted epa administrator michael regan said our investigation has achieved accountability and upholds an important program that is reducing air pollution and protecting communities across the country uh no actually that same guy has appeared in statements and denied that the epa is banning uh vehicles at all you. In the same way that the Biden administration, even with their mandates, was denying that they mandated the vaccine. Well, I didn't force anybody to get it. I just told them that if they didn't, gave them a choice. You know, you get it or you lose your job, that type of thing. But I didn't force anybody.

Starting point is 01:19:42 Well, the EPA is not forcing anybody either, right? Handing out hundreds of millions of dollars or billions of dollars in fines to companies and then making clear that they're going to put them out of business if they don't restrict their choices of the consumers. The issue arose from a testing procedure change that was implemented by the EPA in 2016. In other words, it's an issue that would have just gone away on its own, but the government needed to take its bureaucratic pound of flesh first, writes Zero Hedge. The EPA's enforcement action affects about 6 million GM vehicles, including Chevy Tahoe, Cadillac Escalade, Chevy Silverado.

Starting point is 01:20:29 GM will forfeit credits that were used to meet emission standards with an estimated resolution cost of $490 million. So with the losing credits as well as the additional fines, nearly half a billion dollars. But they're still getting off cheap compared to Volkswagen. And again, this is all not about anybody being endangered, just as CO2 is not endangering the world. These emissions have been cleaned up in the same way that you can clean up emissions from a coal-powered plant.

Starting point is 01:21:00 They've got their own agenda, and we should be very concerned about what these people want to do to us rivian meanwhile has become the provider for amazon they had a deal with rivian the electric truck company and they had they came up with customized amazon delivery vans unfortunately the rivian delivery vans keep catching fire at amazon distribution centers while they are being charged they've had quite a few of these what is still unclear is whether professionally installed chargers like these rivian units are prone to the same issues as level 2 chargers that are plugged into home outlets. They put them into the dryer outlets, the 220s.

Starting point is 01:21:49 But again, this is the same government that has spent over $7 billion to do seven charging stations. And then as you see what is happening at Amazon as they charge them, they're bursting into fire. So it is a, as we've seen with EVs, these people are going to force this stuff through. This is part of the Biden agenda. It's actually, it's the Democrat agenda in general. It is not simply Biden or Newsom.

Starting point is 01:22:17 This is the entire Democrat party that is trying to push this through. And the Republicans will not lift a finger to stop it. If we want to stop this, it's going to have to be stopped at the state level. We'll be right back. © BF-WATCH TV 2021 ORGAN PLAYS © BF-WATCH TV 2021 ¶¶ Defending the American Dream. defending the american dream you're listening to the david knight show all right welcome back and we've talked a lot about the shifting sand under our feet of the petrodollar and how the saudis are moving away from supporting that. Recently, we had at the G7 a lot of talk about confiscation of about $300 billion of Russian assets.

Starting point is 01:25:36 And there was a disagreement amongst those that were at the G7. The United States wanted to just steal all of it. And some people in Europe said, well, let's just take the interest. And they had a compromise. And yet it turns out that there was more to it than that. Bloomberg reports that the Saudis were threatening to sell European bonds if the Russian assets were going to be confiscated. And so what we've got right now is exactly the opposite of the petrodollar geopolitical power that we used to have. Now we've become just these petty thieves and blackmailers, and everybody sees the U.S. government for what it is.

Starting point is 01:26:19 In May, the EU had approved a U.S.-backed plan to use profits and interest generated from Russian assets to help arm Ukraine. However, that was a sharp reversal from the previously proposed plan, one that was heavily promoted by Zelensky and Ukraine to confiscate all of the $300 billion in Russian assets that were in Western banks. And many people were wondering what prompted that reversal well now we know and as bloomberg notes the kingdom's finance ministry said some g7 counterparts of its opposition to the idea which was meant to support ukraine with one person describing it as a veiled threat most of the 300 billion dollars in frozen russian assets were held in Europe, particularly in France, Germany, and Belgium.

Starting point is 01:27:09 What makes today's report from Bloomberg even more interesting from a geopolitical Fisher's perspective, and it means that as a result of its ability to spark a liquidation panic in Europe's unstable bond market, Saudi Arabia has far more leverage than ukraine or the virtue signaling western media it's just kind of interesting because uh part of this is because of their vast wealth that they got from uh selling the oil that we discovered we pumped we refined we gave them the money we rec created the machines that need the oil and all the rest of this stuff but nevertheless they have that that power that is there and tremendous amount of accumulated wealth but i think oil is still very important everybody

Starting point is 01:27:59 pretends that we don't need it anymore that it's about it's on its way out and all the rest of the stuff i don't believe that's the case not at all i think that um they uh they tried to move too quickly their plans to switch to these other more expensive renewables aren't working well and they have to continue with oil or at least until they get some technical issues ironed out. Then they can fleece us. But the technical issues are so bad that they have to stay with oil. That means that the Saudis still have a great deal of leverage, especially with their accumulated wealth. It's clear that when Putin comes to shove,

Starting point is 01:28:42 actually they said when push comes to shove, but it was actually when Putin comes to shove, that the crown prince is firmly in Vladimir's corner. Back in April of 2016, the New York Times reported that Saudi Arabia had threatened Obama when he was president at that time, had threatened to liquidate the $750 billion in U.S. Treasuries that it owned at the time. That would have spawned a bond market crash. They threatened to sell all of that all at once if Obama found them responsible for the September 11th attacks. Now you know why they haven't released these documents. Not that I believe that the Saudis pulled this thing off. They may have been accomplices to it,

Starting point is 01:29:26 but that's probably what they have in the 9-11 papers that Obama didn't declassify. Trump didn't want to declassify. Biden doesn't want to declassify. And so momentum was building to follow through. They'd made the Saudis the fall guys for this stuff. I think it was an inside job. I always have.

Starting point is 01:29:50 They wanted to make the Saudis the fall guys for this. And so, and you had a lot of families, 9-11 families who wanted compensation from the Saudis and so forth. They said, if you do that, if you continue down that road, we're just going to dump all of our U.S. bonds. We'll crash the market and the rest of this stuff. So they have done this type of thing before. And it says here in the article, it said, well, there's two points to pull out of this that are bigger. While the number one, while the petrodollar may or may not be dead, its leverage is a pale shadow of its former self. In fact, the only leverage goes to those who still own U.S. paper and can threaten to dump

Starting point is 01:30:32 it at will. So if you hold a lot of bonds like the Saudis, it's worked out the other way. They've got the leverage against us. And it's only going to get worse as we go further and further into this massive debt. As we add a trillion dollars every hundred days as Trump and Biden have established this. Number two, weaponizing the U.S. dollar as irrelevant as it now may be. Weaponizing it against Russia was a catastrophic decision that will reverberate for years. It is what Biden will be remembered for, quite frankly, I think.

Starting point is 01:31:10 It is going to be the biggest failure of his administration. I mean, we've seen visible things like the chaos and the incompetence with the Afghanistan pullout or the peer that we were just talking about, but it's going to be the financial collapse of the petrodollar and the other things that he's going to be remembered for Goldman Sachs, by the way, Goldman Sachs has failed the feds stress test. And there are some other banks that are on shaky ground as well. So Goldman Sachs actually failed the Fed's stress test that they put back in 2008.

Starting point is 01:31:54 They came up with an annual stress test that looks at the bank's books and runs a series of simulated possibilities and the test is different for each one of the banks depending on their different portfolios and goldman sachs failed miserably fine data from this year's results can be reviewed on the fed's website by the way this article you can find this article with links to that website at winepressnews.com if you want to get into the details. They've got a chart there, but most of it you can find by clicking on the link. By coincidence, the Financial Times wrote an important piece just last week talking about the results for Goldman Sachs.

Starting point is 01:32:39 They suggested that Goldman Sachs was attempting to change the stress test results that the Federal Reserve had done. Wine Press reminded readers, they said in our last article about this, that Goldman Sachs continues to have the worst credit performance of the group of banks, the big ones, the too-big-to-fail banks. If you page through the individual bank stress test results, you'll see Goldman Sachs is clearly the outlier in the group in terms of assumed credit and counterparty risk losses through first quarter of 2026. Now you know why they get involved in the Trump administration, for example. The previous CEO left, Cohen.

Starting point is 01:33:30 They gave him an advance on his golden parachute, gave him a quarter of a billion dollars so that he could become, I think he was, what is he, chief of, I forget what he was. It was a high position in the Trump administration. Chief of staff, I think. Anyway, that's why they had so much political involvement in the Trump administration. That's how you make a lot of money. So they had people like Steve Mnuchin, a former Goldman Sachs guy.

Starting point is 01:33:58 You had Cohen, many others. And, of course, Bannon himself, former Goldman Sachs banker. Goldman, in some ways, fared better on the Fed's stress test than it did on its own, which is interesting. They run their own test. Their own test looked even worse than the Federal Reserve's stress test. They said, and they had to disclose that last week because they're a publicly run company. The Financial Times said its internally run stress test predicted a bigger drop in revenue and

Starting point is 01:34:29 larger trading losses and an economic downturn than the one run by the central bank. Other large banks like Citigroup were able to negotiate the stressed scenario losses imposed by the Fed's test. Goldman missed the target completely and ended up below the minimum capital level for the bank. So they look at their investments, they run them through simulated scenarios to see if following those scenarios, if they'll still be solvent. And Goldman wasn't. Each test is different for each bank. That's where test results suggest how the Fed views a given bank's business model. Morgan Stanley has a slightly bigger derivatives book than does Goldman,

Starting point is 01:35:13 but rarely reports a significant credit loss. Goldman, however, under the new CEO, David Solomon, is shoveling money into the furnace in terms of credit losses, even with an 11% gross loan spread. And so it's not just the big banks that are there. We also have the risk as if you have seen the documentary, the great taking this is talked about in that documentary. The fact that your stocks and bonds have been put in jeopardy by some very manipulative maneuvers that have not been made public.

Starting point is 01:36:01 That's a key thing to understand. And I think one of the key things to understand about it, and of course, it's a documentary that's done by a former hedge fund manager and investment banker, David Rogers Webb. And he talks about the things that were put in in order to be able to legally confiscate all of your stocks and bonds if there is another financial collapse or crisis. And the remedy for this is actually at the state level. Imagine that. Here we are again. We've got a global problem. We've got a massive problem.

Starting point is 01:36:37 You're not going to get anybody in Washington to fix this, but we already have some states that are moving to stop this. The Great Taking film is an effort to raise awareness about what is happening with this. And the document, the efforts that are underway to stop it. The largest financial crime story in history. A global scheme to seize all of the world's securities in a financial collapse. Are they incompetent or are they trying to create a financial collapse? So this scheme is made possible by the fact that everyone's stocks and bonds have been secretly used as collateral on financial contracts called derivatives. Not once, but 10 times over.

Starting point is 01:37:26 When you go back and you look at the big real estate bubble that happened in 2008, of course, it was derivatives. Did people realize that their mortgages had been securitized and mixed together? No, nobody knew what was happening with that. They did it without people's permission. Well, they've done it in a much, much bigger way. It's always these derivatives. That's one of the reasons why when you look at things like gold and silver ETF or even Bitcoin ETF, why make a derivative out of something? I think it is always so that they can play these kinds of dishonest games that we're seeing here.

Starting point is 01:38:03 The covert use of the client assets collateral enabled the creation of a financial bubble the likes of which the world has never seen. And this has been done without anyone's permission and without paying anybody a fee for using your stocks as collateral on other people's trades. This was all discovered by David Rogers, a former investment banker, hedge fund manager. He discovered the legal mechanisms put in place to allow the too-big-to-fail banks to originate derivative contracts, to have priority to your stocks ahead of you in a bankruptcy hearing during the event of a system-wide collapse. He has uncovered a legal

Starting point is 01:38:43 structure, legal structures rather, that have been put in place to achieve the goal of owning nothing and being happy all securities that everyone owns are being legally encumbered putting them at risk of being lost during the next market downturn all done without the knowledge and consent of the clients and In the 1990s, this fraud was legalized by the 1994 revision of Article 8 of the UCC, the Commercial Code in the United States, later harmonized into law in European countries, EU countries, between 2005 and 2014. So it's the U.S. and Europe. A new legal construction was created with this 1994 UCC revision

Starting point is 01:39:32 called a securities entitlement. So instead of outright owning stocks, now we are just a contractual claimant upon securities called securities entitlement holders. And the too-big-to-fail banks that utilize our securities as collateral on derivative contracts are considered to be secured creditors to our securities. So they've maneuvered this around using the UCC to make themselves secured creditors and us not.

Starting point is 01:40:00 That's the bottom line. And they did it through the UCC. Now, there's something that can be done. In response to his book, efforts are underway in states throughout the United States to correct the problem by striking problematic lines of the 1994 UCC revision. It's very similar to what's happening with CBDC, for example. You had, in an underhanded way, they put out model legislation. Seen that before, right? With the pandemic. After 9-11, they put out model legislation.

Starting point is 01:40:40 Give your public health bureaucracies all these different powers. And they quietly did. And so they put out some more model legislation to prepare for this financial takedown and they said um you know they made some changes to support a central bank digital currency and to ban crypto that they see as a competitor to it and um christine ohm said she had vetoed it she said i, I saw this thing coming up, and she said, it's out there with another two dozen states. They have pushed this through another couple of dozen states. But then you had DeSantis in Florida say,

Starting point is 01:41:16 well, we're going to do the opposite. We're going to change the UCC code, but rather than legalizing CBDC and criminalizing and banning crypto, we're going to do just the opposite. We're going to recognize crypto and ban CBDC. So you can change the UCC code at the state level, and you can shut down some of these financial tricks that they're trying to pull on people this financial trick of creating this new legal thing they call a securities entitlement which is basically to give them a superior position when everything hits the fan when they pull down the pillars of the temple then they are the ones

Starting point is 01:41:59 who have standing over you well you can that was done through the ucc a revision of the ucc so it can be undone through a revision of the ucc and again i come back to the fact that how do we stop you have to understand what the global agenda is and then you have to fight it at the local level that's what these people said plan think globally act locally well if we understand what they're doing globally we can stop it locally you're not going to stop it in washington do any of these people care no they don't they won't do anything about anything they'll hold hearings maybe they'll make some campaign promises when they're running for office and they will do nothing at all.

Starting point is 01:42:47 Democrats are full on to all of this stuff. Republicans will make you some empty promises and do absolutely nothing. Well, I've just been told that Tony can't make it. He can't get his internet to work, so I've got a lot of economic news I still want to cover. I'm not finished yet. Some comments and questions. Let's see. Solid Cinder says, has David written a funeral dirge?

Starting point is 01:43:15 Well, actually, funny you should ask. Something kind of like that. I don't know. I don't know why you would ask that. On Rumble, Georgia Boy says, if you speak of chemtrails, you're labeled a nut, but think back to your childhood and seeing planes without a smoke grid behind them in all directions. Yeah, I'm the nut. And of course, we've seen closer pictures of this stuff not coming out of the engines, but, you know, coming in other places. So we've got a lot of pictures showing it being sprayed out.

Starting point is 01:43:50 On Rumble, Moonhawk. I say we drill our own oil and buy from other countries only to build up our reserve. Deplete their supply and have friendly commerce. We have, and I'll just grab it here. I've talked about this many times. You know, these magazines, Time Magazine and Newsweek. Let's see, pull it in this way. Back in 1979, you know, we're running out of oil, and we've got an energy crisis.

Starting point is 01:44:17 And as they were saying, we're going to be out of oil and natural gas by the mid-1980s, because it was the end of 1979 but even then they said we have 666 years of coal i guess they're trying to demonize it even then 666 but uh yeah we got we've got more coal than the saudis have got oil and we've got a lot of oil as well, but they're just trying to gaslight people. Isn't that interesting? How that phrase fits there. Gaslight us in the thinking that we can't use it or we're all going to die.

Starting point is 01:44:56 No, we're going to have to get past this lie, this climate MacGuffin, a rock fan, Dustin Helm. Thank you very much for the tip. I appreciate that. And on rock fan, Jason Barker says uh going back to the password breach uh eight billion of them

Starting point is 01:45:11 uh this is bound to happen intentionally to push biometrics instead of passwords yeah i'm sure they'll use it for this good point uh jason uh those are compromised as well so a physical thing a mark will be the two-factor authentication. This will be done to secure your bank account. This is where the mark of the beast comes in. Real ID and ID.me are already set in stone with deadlines. The ID.me requires a face scan. It'll be required to do your taxes online.

Starting point is 01:45:43 Yeah, they already tried to do that once and they only backed off because it was a tech bottleneck nightmare nobody could actually get access to it so they're going to work on it get some of the tech bugs ironed out but that's where they're going you're absolutely right jason barker knights of the storm uh on rumble princess wrong think we already lost our homeland i live in a red mostly rural state it's unreal how many illegals are here working in factories etc and tons of people from africa yeah and tons of people from uh the middle east tons of people from china it's everywhere everywhere uh on the last time i was in a airport when we were waiting for our

Starting point is 01:46:27 flight this uh migrant manager and his group of migrants came up and two of the guys were just africans and brand new track suits brand new cell phones brand new shoes brand new hat all designer they're just like cool yeah and a lot of people have engaged them. Oh, what is your group? And I've seen a lot of clips of people engaging this. That's, that's happening all the time.

Starting point is 01:46:52 And cause I've seen several engagements where people are talking to them and, you know, they, well, I'm not going to talk to you about this. Yeah. That's our government. That's doing it.

Starting point is 01:47:00 It's secret. It's national security. Yeah. You're undermining our country for your job security is what this is selling us out on the fifth column uh rock fan amos pool thank you very much for the tip i appreciate that the legal definition of reset reset is the dishonest possession of goods obtained by another by way of theft robbery robbery, fraud, embezzlement, and the knowledge that they were obtained that way.

Starting point is 01:47:28 Absolutely right. I'm going to take a quick break. And when we come back, we're going to talk about the great monetary pivot of 2024. We'll be right back. They're doing what in the place they named after me? Good thing I have the David Knight Show to keep me informed on the plots of these traitors. Making sense common again. This is the David Knight Show.

Starting point is 01:47:57 Yeah, the great monetary pivot of 2024. What is happening with this? Well, this is coming from International Man. In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, the Fed brought interest rates down to 0%, held them there for years. Then in late 2015, they started a rate hiking cycle that lasted until the repo market turmoil in late 2019. If you can get this chart up, pull this up travis a great monetary pivot at 2024 because it truly is amazing to see how they have manipulated the market uh inflation subsequently hit a 40-year high in 2022 forcing the fed into another rate hiking cycle one of the steepest in history in just 18 months they hiked rates from about zero percent

Starting point is 01:48:46 over five percent where they remain today and that's what it looks like there folks look at that go straight down and as a matter of fact they smoothed out the curve when you look at what they did and they don't show uh what they did back in 2006 where they started creating this they were raising interest rates by a quarter of a point every every month i believe it was and so it's just a stair step case going straight up until they got the top and then collapsed everything and then when everything collapsed they immediately take it back down to zero leave it there for years then move it up very rapidly, then drop it down to zero again, and then move it up even faster at three quarters of a percentage point each time they re-evaluate it.

Starting point is 01:49:35 It's unbelievable how they have created this roller coaster for our economy. And as he points out, gold has called their bluff when you look at that roller coaster that has been set up it truly is amazing how gold has been uh stable and gradually increasing uh that is the the key thing is that it has um it has um uh withstood that war as tony calls it that war against uh it's the the fed and their fiat currency at war with gold one of them has to be established and so um it's not just um the the fact that they have changed the ucc code uh They have also, it's come out, at one of the banks that recently collapsed, $109 million in custom deposits vanished.

Starting point is 01:50:32 This is not what Webb was talking about in the great taking and using that. That's what they're going to use when they collapse everything. This is a story that's about three weeks old. Not only are the accounts locked, but users are unable to withdraw any of their cash. A total nightmare scenario. The company is claiming it's a problem between two middlemen providers, but it's extremely

Starting point is 01:50:59 concerning whenever you can't get your money out of a bank or out of a savings app. I'm absolutely not claiming that they're insolvent or that they're going under in fact they claim that they're not but they will say uh say this but i'll say this i saw the very same thing happen before a crypto brokerage celsius went under i was actually live tweeting and covered the story as it happened they announced a glitch with withdrawals. I immediately advised everyone to transfer their funds off of the platform. And the company claimed all was safe, all was good. Then just hours later, they'd collapsed. Is the same scenario happening here?

Starting point is 01:51:36 I don't know. I hope not, he said. But sadly, it looks as though my initial gut reaction was right. CNBC said, Ledgers of the failed fintech middleman synapse show that nearly all the deposits held for customers of the banking app yada or yoda i guess y-o-t-t-a went missing weeks ago according to one of the lenders involved a network of eight banks held $109 million in deposits for Yotta customers as of April 11th. Evolve Bank and Trust said the bankruptcy court letters filed late Tuesday, Thursday. About a month later, the ledger showed just $1.4 million in Yotta funds held at one of the banks, Evolve said.

Starting point is 01:52:24 These are regularities in and snaps's ledgering of yada end user funds are just one example of many discrepancies that evolve had observed the ceo of yada and the co-founder said in response to the article that synapse has said in court filings that evolve held nearly nearly all Yoda customer deposits. Evolve and Synapse disagree over who holds the funds and who's responsible for the frozen accounts. So, again, this has been going on back and forth. Who owns it? Where did the money go? And this is what happens when they create these multi-levels.

Starting point is 01:53:01 Sometimes they'll do it with securitization. Sometimes they have these new financial tech instruments that are out there. According to the SNAP's trial balance report provided on May 17th, there are $112 million worth of customer funds held at Evolve. Well, again, one of the things he says,

Starting point is 01:53:24 we never imagined a scenario like this. We never imagined that no regulator would step in and help it. So he said, this is a fight between Synapse and Evolve, but you got all these customers, 85,000 of them are locked out of their accounts over 100 million dollars of stuff and none of these financial tech companies are fdic insured for example this is all the risk is one of the reasons why when we look at what is on the horizon and we know this is already happening it began with saudi arabia and the fact that the petrodollar is now being leveraged against us essentially all of those chickens

Starting point is 01:54:15 have come home to roost we said okay well uh you support us by buying bonds well now all these bonds that they've bought have become this sort of Damocles that is hanging over our heads. As the government, the federal government, in its devious plans, decided that they could use the dollar as a weapon, well, it turns out that weapon is now being used against us.

Starting point is 01:54:42 So that's one aspect. Our entire financial system system the fact that they had planned this for a very long time going back to the mid-1990s they secretly put into the ucc code measures that would allow them to get ahead of everybody else and to confiscate everything when they deliberately took it down yeah you'd have to look at this and say are these people that stupid or is this deliberate and then finally you have these online tech companies we don't actually physically hold anything and you know a lot of finger pointing going on but what is really going to happen with it you got three parties involved here and they're all blaming each other and still everybody is locked out of this

Starting point is 01:55:27 because it's not a bank it's not anything else that's why when you look at it i i think that the the way that you should think of this is as wealth insurance and when you look at gold and silver that is something that you hold it is something that once you get it and it's private they don't have any knowledge about that uh and uh unlike even cash which is great uh the cash can also be manipulated and other things can happen with it so it's um a hedge against all that it's a hedge against all of these conspiracies to steal everything i think it's very important to have that there and of course tony sets up wise uh wise wolf you can find it david knight dot gold he's got the wolf pack so you can do this on a gradual basis and you can

Starting point is 01:56:17 gradually accumulate gold and silver you can get the advantage of group buying by being in wolf pack but of course, Tony can handle any transactions, large or small, gold or silver. He can handle those at Wolfpack. He can also help you with a gold or metal IRA, gold or silver IRA. We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back. 🎵 Thank you. You're listening to the david knight show well we have a california bill that was set up to curb child sex trafficking but the legislators in california said that this is going to be unfair to lgbtq people really what is that what is that about i guess the response would be okay groomers have they declared what they're really about and of course we see this happening in the schools all the time it is absolutely grooming california bill that would increase penalties for child sex trafficking and solicitation of sex from minors has received

Starting point is 01:58:26 backlash from activists claiming that it would unfairly target the lgbt community it also might target the government schools where a lot of these people will operate the bill was authored by one republican and two Democrats in the California State Senate. It would make it a felony offense for adults who are 18 years of age or older to solicit or pay for sex from a minor. We believe that this bill takes an overly punitive approach, said those who oppose this. They said, we are particularly concerned that the harsher penalties proposed in this bill

Starting point is 01:59:08 will disproportionately impact marginalized communities, especially members of the LGBT community. Wow. In its original form, they attempted to make the act of soliciting or engaging in any act of commercial sex with a minor a felony. However, amendments forced on the bill earlier this year by Democrats in the Senate watered down the language. They excluded 16 and 17-year-old children from the bill's additional protections.

Starting point is 01:59:39 And, of course, we've seen a lot of individuals like Alan D dershowitz arguing for lowering the age of consent if you look at everything that is happening in the schools i've argued from the very beginning this idea that kids have the maturity to decide that they want to mutilate themselves sexually well then of course if these kids can decide that if they can decide what gender they are even before they can read or write you know when, when they're in kindergarten, we had a lot of people, some parents claim, oh yeah, my child has already chosen their gender, even though they can barely talk. How absurd that is. But if you're going to maintain that fiction, then of course you can say that kids who are very young can also consent to sex. So I said from the very beginning that this transgender agenda applied to kids and all this gender grooming and gaslighting that is happening in the schools is really ultimately about pushing towards pedophilia. Here we have Democrats in the Senate saying that if you were going to put in bills, now this is about prostitution or trafficking, we should say,

Starting point is 02:00:51 but there's not anything in here about consensual, quote-unquote consensual sex with minors. We've always held the position as a society that minors cannot consent to sex, just like they don't have maturity to drive a car or to have alcohol or tobacco or guns or many other things or vote but no we're going to try to remove that away for sex pretty clear what people want isn't it what the purpose of this is in july 2023 the public safety committee blocked SB 14, a bill that was introduced that would have made the trafficking of children in the state a serious felony. No, that shouldn't be a felony at all, should it?

Starting point is 02:01:37 Folks, it is. One of the things that they said was it's not just that it's going to come after LGBT. They mentioned that. But they also said poor and minorities will be punished and so forth and we do know that when you have rich people like epstein like trump who are engaged in pedophilia that they never get punished none of the clients of ep, nobody wants to look at that. And so that part of it, the Democrats are right. But it is an effort to legitimize and to cover up for pedophilia. And the other part of the transgender grooming of kids is to push them towards virtual reality towards this furry thing that's the other path

Starting point is 02:02:26 that it's got multiple purposes so they're right about saying that only the poor will be punished for this because the rich people are going to go right through well when we talk about abortion and that's going to be talked about a great deal with the republican convention this become a fight as well as the fact that they have taken a very, very soft position on gun rights. Who would have thought that when Trump was the very first president to do gun control by executive order, who would have thought that the Trump national convention would take a soft line towards protecting second amendment? But of course they do.

Starting point is 02:03:08 So when you talk about abortion, the question is, how should we handle this? I think that it is legitimate for us to use government to stop people from committing murder. But I think that murder is also, and that kind of law enforcement is also a state issue. And as I said, from a pragmatic standpoint, as well as a constitutional standpoint, there is no authority for the federal government to get involved. And if they do get involved and prohibit it, the Democrat states will ignore that prohibition. And then when the Democrats get

Starting point is 02:03:40 in and legalize it at any age, the Republican states will go along with it. So that's why I oppose any federalization of abortion at all. But it ultimately comes down to a one-on-one. It ultimately comes down to getting people to understand what it really is. I said in the past that I had not ever thought about it personally and most people don't think about it until maybe it is something that they find themselves unexpectedly expecting and never had that situation but what happened to me was when I was running for Congress, I was asked that question

Starting point is 02:04:26 over and over again. And I had the standard libertarian line. Well, I don't think the government needs to be involved in people's personal lives. Let everybody determine this for themselves. But at that time, they began partial birth abortion. And when I saw what partial birth abortion was, I started to realize they've been lying to me all this time. These people are okay with murdering a full-term baby. Perhaps they've got another agenda. And so I started looking at that. And to me, that was the thing that came out of my little run for Congress, was it really opened my eyes up to this whole abortion thing. And so the people with live action have filmed themselves going on the street and doing man-on-the-street interviews with people,

Starting point is 02:05:15 asking them what their position is on abortion, recording that, and then showing them a short video that is about four or five minutes long. Now, I'm not going to show you the video. If you want to see what this video is that changed their minds uh you can see that you can see the video at what is abortion.com when you go there there's tabs and they have an ob gyn who will explain in clinical terms what the abortion is and it is horrific but uh i still think that the most effective one of these is the procedure that cartoon one that did there's one of them right there and as you can see that that lady there is an ob-gyn and so they have the dne abortion then you can click and they've got

Starting point is 02:06:07 another doctor who explains suction dnc abortion another one that talks about abortion pills another one that talks about induction and so forth but i i still think that that that the procedure which was um was narrated by the actor who played uh hercules kevin sorbo and uh it was based on the experiences of an ultrasound technician who went in he didn't know that this was an abortion and it was the first time he saw it and he saw what was happening inside the womb and he described it the baby's efforts to pull away as the baby's limbs are being ripped off one by one just horrific and and it was quick it was animated and uh very very powerful i played that a couple of times on the show i'm not going to play that and i'm not going to play one of the whatisabortion.com videos. But I want you to see the reactions of the people on the street.

Starting point is 02:07:09 Because, folks, if you want to stop the murder, you've got to educate people, first of all, to the fact that it is murder. They've been lied to by the government. And so I think it's very important that they be shown the truth. And that really is going to free them up let me find this here where is the video let's see do we not have it after all that lead up here yeah here we go okay this is how their minds were changed ultimately I'm more towards my body my choice everybody has a choice. I think if it's what you need to do, then do it. It's the woman's right to choose.

Starting point is 02:07:50 Be the choice of the woman. I do believe in women's rights. I think that women should have the right to choose whether or not they want to abort their children. Certain circumstances, you know, make you have to do that. Until childbirth. I believe all the way up until birth. About eight months to have, eight months to know.

Starting point is 02:08:05 Probably the first six months. Especially for abortion, if a woman's been raped, or if there's incest or something like that, I think that they should have a right to make decisions about their body, their own body, absolutely, yes. Here's a video I'd love your thoughts on. I'm sick, man. You don't want to see this. No.

Starting point is 02:08:30 It's pretty horrific. I didn't think they did it like that. I didn't know any of that. I never saw a video like that about how the procedure was performed. I don't agree with that. I don't think it's right that they got to go through all that because someone didn't want them. It changed my mind about the time frame there.

Starting point is 02:08:48 Do you consider yourself strongly pro-life now? Yes. Now that I'm watching that video, like, my opinion changed 100%. I always kind of thought it was just, like, a little seed that they kind of scope out. You say that your original stance on abortion has changed? Yes. Yes, after seeing that video, 100%. I will be against abortion for sure, 100%.

Starting point is 02:09:10 That stage, I didn't know the child was fully developed, so that's definitely not a good stage to have an abortion. Yeah, but the baby is always alive after conception, and that's why abortion does kill an innocent human being. Well, after seeing that video, yeah. You went from thinking abortion should be available till birth to maybe being banned at month three. I mean, to be completely blunt, I was kind of thrown for a loop. Did you see the video Change Your Mind About Abortion?

Starting point is 02:09:31 Yes, I did. I'm sorry, are you all right? I'm fine. I'm fine. My mom went through five abortions before she decided to keep me. That's crazy, like pulling out the limbs and stuff. Because my sister just had a baby. Everybody was forcing her to have an abortion and she held her ground.

Starting point is 02:09:49 And now of course everybody loves the baby. She had the baby. It could have been me, you, him, anybody else walking around through here. It's not like a designer handbag. Oh, maybe I'll keep it or not. It's a life. Now I'm gonna educate my friends

Starting point is 02:10:01 and whoever's asking about abortion. Every life deserves a life. Life is not important. You never know what that child may become. And don't just kind of take a life that hasn't got the chance to develop yet. I hope you guys watch the video if it's linked or anything. Should I end the video, help change your minds at all about abortion? 100%.

Starting point is 02:10:18 Text me or whatever a link to that video. I'm a high school principal. That's a life in there that they're destroying and they haven't even got a chance to The baby to see what's live all about like they have no choice All right, what is abortion calm and you can see that video That changed their minds that put that one woman in tears But again also the procedure I that put that one woman in tears. But again, also the procedure. I want to shift gears here and talk about the power of prayer.

Starting point is 02:10:52 There's a very powerful video that I saw. A man who suddenly had a tumor, and he had stage four melanoma. He had a tumor on the side of his face that had grown so huge that he couldn't see out of his right eye. He could barely eat. And the doctors said there was nothing they could do for him. So many times we say, well,

Starting point is 02:11:16 this person hasn't even got a prayer. He has the last thing that we try so many times. And, um, uh, it is, uh, this story is very, very amazing. and i want to talk about um this after it but uh i'll just let them tell the story uh this is his wife they should have pictures of him uh before

Starting point is 02:11:37 and after the people who were praying for him and many uh different churches around that town. This is, again, chemo wasn't an option. They couldn't operate on him. He was at stage four, and you won't believe how large this tumor got. When you're going to the doctor and you hear nothing encouraging, that's when your faith is gonna have to stand. In November 2020, Jerilyn Baker's husband David started having constant nosebleeds. Doctors removed a polyp from his sinus cavity, but soon after things got worse. When his face began to swell, I thought he's got an infection and I told him we need to

Starting point is 02:12:23 contact the doctor quickly. The results of a CT scan shocked the family. David's brother-in-law, Chuck Denny, was there. They told me he had stage four nasal cavity melanoma. The options they gave him, they said surgery wasn't an option because the facial disfigurement would be too massive. They told us that there was really nothing that they could do.

Starting point is 02:12:48 Chemo wasn't for that type that he had. I'd never seen anybody healed of cancer. Every time I heard the word cancer, it was a death sentence. And I feel like unless God moved, I feel like David wouldn't. He wasn't going to make it. You know, my first thought was in my teaching is that we need to move into a fast

Starting point is 02:13:10 and seek God and see God heal him. David's face rapidly swelled to the point where he couldn't eat or see out of his right eye. Pastor Mark Gilbert remembers the many prayers from multiple church locations and beyond. Both church families was praying for David, and there was a multitude of other people. It wasn't just our churches.

Starting point is 02:13:31 David used to be a pastor himself, so there's a lot of people that he knows that was praying for him in different areas of the country, just believing God for the turnaround in his life. Several times a day, we would pray together and there was times that you felt like you were just lost for words. You felt like that you were only repeating yourself because you were worn out, you were worn down from this sickness. His condition just kept getting worse.

Starting point is 02:14:07 But the prayers, at that point, we didn't see much. This was swelling inside of his mouth as fast as it was on the outside. And he couldn't hardly eat. It was just terrible. And we knew that we were facing a horrible storm in life. On Easter morning, Dr. Tom Renfrow and his wife, Sid, were visiting their church for a special prayer service.

Starting point is 02:14:34 Remembering her husband's own miraculous healing from cancer, Sid was moved with compassion to pray for David. When I prayed for David, I don't touch people's head. I normally just touch their shoulders. But I did touch his face because I wanted to be very specific and very direct. I remember standing there and I thought, it's going to come off in her hand

Starting point is 02:15:00 because you could feel such a presence of God's Spirit. I prayed a prayer that my dad had prayed. By this time tomorrow, this side of your face will look like this side of your face, because that prayer had worked for my dad. The day after Easter, something amazing happened. He said, there's a change in my face. Do you see it? I said, I've already seen it. I looked at my wife and I said, I see a change in my face.

Starting point is 02:15:33 She said, I do too, but I was afraid to say anything. So we decided to go eat with our family again. We said, well, let's just see what they have to say. And they all seen me and they said, well, let's just see what they have to say. And they all see me. And they said, that thing's shrinking. And it was just a matter of days. It was gone. David's tumor vanished.

Starting point is 02:15:55 And doctors later confirmed he is now cancer free. The Bakers are forever thankful to God for answering their prayers. There's many people that has got a diagnosis like David. And I feel like they saw death. Maybe they prepared for death. But I'd say don't give up I'd say take his word into your spirit and I'd say believe it

Starting point is 02:16:33 with everything you've got because that's what we've done what I witnessed with David up close and personal with him it just boosted my faith. I mean, I know that God can do anything, big, little. It don't matter. He can move into anything.

Starting point is 02:16:49 I felt jubilant when I saw the picture, and the tumor was gone, and he had a normal face. When I see David now, I think about the benevolence of God, the mercy of God, that God in this state of David's life in his older years, that God has proven his faithfulness to him. Well, I'm thankful that, you know, what happened, that God healed me. I'm thankful for that. I've never doubted what God was capable of doing. I've always believed that he's the healer, that he can heal cancer, he can heal heart attacks, he can heal anything that's affected man.

Starting point is 02:17:28 He can take care of it if we'll just believe him and walk in his word and not let doubt and unbelief, because that stops the hand of God. But I'm very thankful. Well, I have a commenter on Rumble. M. Sellers, prayers are powerful. I'm relying on prayer right now in my life. Thank you, David, for this encouragement. I needed it.

Starting point is 02:17:49 Yeah. And that's the thing. You know, when you look at this, what is that? So many times people will pray about something and we don't necessarily get what we want because that's not what prayer is. Prayer is not a demand that we make on God.

Starting point is 02:18:04 But as you heard them talk about that, you heard his brother say, it really boosted my faith to see this go away as people were praying for it. And another person said, every time I see him, I think about the mercy of God. His face swollen way out to the side. Unbelievable. Couldn't even eat. And so what is the purpose of God's miracles? Because again, David Baker is going to die. I mean, his life has been spared,

Starting point is 02:18:36 but eventually he's going to die. It is about a God that we can trust and his word that we can trust to know that we are going to live forever, that it'll be a better life, that it'll last forever, a better life forever. And we can trust that. And God gives us these signs to build our faith,

Starting point is 02:18:58 to build our trust. And I hope you've had a situation like that. If you haven't, you should trust in that. You should ask God for things. Even small things can build your faith, and that's why when we were facing all of these mandates, people were looking at losing their jobs, their careers,

Starting point is 02:19:17 because of vaccine mandates. That's why I wanted to talk to people about the diary of George Mueller, who had an amazing number of prayers for major things for minor things he would see god provide uh something that he would they would not have any food for the orphanage that he was running and all of a sudden um there's a knock on the door the guy says yeah my milk wagon broke down here in the street it's all going to spoil let me give it to you it's like wow then another knock on the door and a guy's there with uh bread you know and so it's just um but i've

Starting point is 02:19:52 seen that and i know that you have too if you've been praying you will see that in ways that cannot be explained as a coincidence and certainly that can't there is a really good book if you would like to look at this that i would recommend besides george muller again he kept a very detailed diary of his entire life he began just as as a pastor he was concerned for the kids that were on the street he was in victorian england the middle of the 1800s the time that charles dick street. He was in Victorian England, the middle of the 1800s, the time that Charles Dickens writes about. We had a lot of kids who were just roaming the streets because of the poverty. And he started taking some of them in and providing for them. And he didn't have any money. He just stepped out in faith and did it. And God kept bringing

Starting point is 02:20:41 more people in. And it was an amazing story and a lot of things that happened and he kept a detailed diary of it and when he died the um there were thousands of people in that town again population of towns was smaller than in bristol england and they all turned out because his life was a testimony that god is present and still acting in our lives. It wasn't something that happened millennia ago. It wasn't made-up stories. It's real. And when you see these types of prayers answered, that's the importance of that.

Starting point is 02:21:19 And that's why God does these types of things. Lee Strobel had an interesting book it's called the case for miracles and in it he talked about how um the more educated people were and the more money they had the less likely they were to believe in miracles with one exception and that was physicians. He said in that book, he said in a 2004 survey, they found that 55% of physicians believed in miracles. Because when people get desperate and they reach out, that's when God will many times work and show people the reality of his presence.

Starting point is 02:22:10 And I'll just tell you a little bit about the book. It's set up in a different part, Case for Miracles. First of all, he begins by giving the case against miracles. And he goes to somebody who doesn't believe any of it and he he makes his case in part two he talks to the guy who was the author of a two volume book called miracles the credibility of the new testament accounts and miracles today this is a guy who came from a church tradition one of the mainline churches i think it was presbyterian but they didn't believe in signs and wonders any of that kind of stuff he took took a very academic approach to it and he would only put in things that he could validate from physicians and from witnesses and other things like that and he filled two large volumes i've got those books i was gonna i forgot to bring them and show them to you. But it is pretty amazing. It is case history after case history and references of that.

Starting point is 02:23:09 And again, he's not coming from a, you know, signs and wonders type of thing, which a lot of people are familiar with as a TV evangelist. You know, really showy stuff. You'll see Benny Hinn take his jacket off and whisk it around and have people fall on the floor when i look at that i honestly think that that is a it's a satanic trick to make people to get people to be cynical and jaded and to think that none of this stuff is real. Phony stuff like that. But there's real stuff that is out there. Verified stuff. And again, that book is Miracles,

Starting point is 02:23:53 the Credibility of the New Testament Accounts and Miracles Today. And then he goes to a doctor and a missionary, and they talk about dreams and visions, ways that God is moving in areas of the Muslim world, for example, where maybe they can't get access to a Bible. I had, you know, we had the pastor from South Africa who had had the encounter with Nelson Mandela, Peter Hammond, and he goes into areas where there's Marxist governments,

Starting point is 02:24:27 very authoritarian Marxist governments, or radical Muslim governments. And he said, you know, he's coming from a traditional reform tradition that, he said, that was never a part of it. But he said, I've seen amazing stuff that is done there as a testimony of God, just to open people's eyes and

Starting point is 02:24:47 open their hearts the next part he talks about the most spectacular miracles he said you know we stop and think about it creation that is there that we all see every day one of the most miraculous things and as science finds out more about our universe about our planet planet, about our bodies, that miracle is documented more and more. The miracle of Jesus' resurrection. And then he has some interviews on how many mainline Christians are embarrassed to recognize miracles. They don't want to go there because to them, they have been raised on a enlightenment view that it's all about rationalism and science and all the rest of the stuff.

Starting point is 02:25:34 And they, they, they feel that they're going to look stupid if they talk about the supernatural. And so, and then finally he talks about the problem of miracles that are prayed for but don't happen. Like I said, God's purpose is not our intended purpose. We may be looking for something that is going to help us, and of course we always are. We're told to ask for that. But we also know

Starting point is 02:25:58 that this life is just a preparation and a witness, a training ground, if you will, to understand and to connect with God. And that's really what the purpose of these answered prayers are. You know, I think it's very sad when we look at politicians like Trump, who says he doesn't need any forgiveness, or we look at scientists like Ray Kurzweil, I'm going to talk about here in just a second. These people who love this world, who fight for every scrap they can get in this junkyard, and they miss the real beauty of what God has prepared for them,

Starting point is 02:26:37 and they will miss the real beauty of what God has prepared for our immortal souls. And so let's talk a little bit about Kurzweil, because Kurzweil is seeking his own form of immortality. This is an article that's on Daily Mail. They call him a tech prophet, because he predicted the iPhone years in advance, and he makes alarming forecasts for coming years. Well, you know, I mean, there's other people.

Starting point is 02:27:03 George Gilder had predicted the iphone it was kind of a um you know you could put the pieces together and you could look at the trajectory of technology and you can make predictions like that but kurzweil's predictions are way out there because kurzweil embraces uh the technocracy and this whole idea of um immortality through science before i get into that let me catch up with some of the comments so that people have made here um on rock fan rahul um mitro where can i find that video on abortion i need to share that um what i just showed was on um live action and it was let me go back and find this here the website was what is abortion calm I don't remember where the procedure was

Starting point is 02:28:00 but you might be able to find the procedure on youtube uh in terms of um oh hang on a second here um the um a different document um i'll look it up and i'll tell you in a minute when we come back because i'm going to lose my place here uh i'll try to tell you where the uh i think it's liveaction.org was where they had the article about people who'd had their minds changed about abortion. But the actual videos that they were showing them about the different abortion procedures, that you can find at whatisabortion.com. Moonhawk says, women who don't want to kill their own babies. Amazing. Yeah, it is.

Starting point is 02:28:42 Isn't it amazing the power of propaganda and the power of the media and the social media and the entertainment industry and the politicians uh we underestimate just how influential that is many people would always look at madison oh i'm not affected by these tv commercials they're so silly you got the jolly green giant and mr clean and all these other things like that that's silly that's not going to influence my purchasing and yet it does they do it because it works and they do it because they repeat this over and over again a way before there was the the propaganda of gerbils there was the propaganda of ed Bernays who helped Woodrow Wilson get us

Starting point is 02:29:25 into a war. And after world war one, Edward Bernays really helped Madison Avenue create the advertising world that they do. So yeah, you, they can get us to inject ourselves, to put a mask on our face.

Starting point is 02:29:40 Even when it's absurd, we know that that's not going to retain the air. They tell us that the viruses are smaller than air and so forth. None of that made any logical sense. Your mask doesn't protect you. It protects other people. All of that stuff. None of it made any sense. The six foot distance and all the rest of that. Many of us were laughing about that, but they kept repeating it. And look at how many people, the vast majority of people bought into that. Buy into that kind of stuff, even to the extent of killing their own children. On Rumble, AP Rumble seat.

Starting point is 02:30:13 And they also need to know the satanic and business end of the prophet that is attached to killing these babies. That's absolutely right. But of course, if you expose that, as David Leiden did with the Center for Medical Progress, you get Lala Harris, Kamala Harris, came after the whistleblower. That seems to be a continuing pattern in our society, doesn't it? If you expose torture by the CIA that lies us into the Iraq war, well, you're the one who goes to jail,

Starting point is 02:30:43 not the people who lied us into a war, not the people who did the torture or covered up the torture. No, Gina Haspel, who did all that, gets promoted by Trump to be the head of the CIA. So yeah, they always come after the whistleblowers. They fire the whistleblowers, put them in prison, just as they did David Leiden. They they have been after him since he first did that about eight or nine years ago when he showed them doing murder for hire.

Starting point is 02:31:17 And as part of the discovery, we found out that it was Fauci, the NIH, that was a customer of a lot of that murder for hire. It was our own government paying for that. And then creating these humanized mice that they could experiment on after they got the parts of the babies. It's really horrendous. Yeah, and I think that is one of the most important things. So, Lala Harris, when she was Attorney general she came after david lyden in the center for medical progress and then she got elected as senator javier becerra took her place now he is head of hhs head of the very organization that was buying the baby parts that were product of

Starting point is 02:32:00 murder and of course they were um it wasn't that there was an abortion and then, oh, well, we've had an abortion, so let's put these body parts to a good use. No, they were looking for specific ages of these children, and they would make arrangements so that they were ready to move those organs right away. And they would induce labor and kill these babies by vivisection, by removing the organs. So that if they were to pull the baby apart, as they typically do, or use chemicals or something like that, they would damage what they were trying to extract. So they would have the baby born and then killed by vivisection it really is horrendous it's truly amazing um rational lampooner

Starting point is 02:32:54 i wish david had a working web page where he would post links to all resources and references and videos present daily so many more could share god's truth uh yeah we probably should try to put that up on substack or something it's just it takes me a long time to put this stuff together it takes me a long time to do the um uh the description just to go through and say well here at this point we start talking about this and um but yeah we probably could put that up and give people the links to that um it's it's already a 16 hour day uh on rock fan jason barker responding to rational lampooner i set up a form to do just that nobody uses it oh okay well here we go and um where is where is that is that uh well tell us where that is jason

Starting point is 02:33:48 and maybe we can get some people to use it um on rumble m sellers uh already read that one about prayers so let's go to ray kurzweil and he is somebody who's been talking about the singularity he has heels um as probably not through the lockdown but in general they would have annual conventions where people talk about the singularity what is a singularity well that's when he thinks we're going to merge with machines and of course he's not the only one most of these powerful people in the technocracy he's been brought into google but most of the people who are in the technocracy people like peter teal he's very much involved in the singularity movement, as is Elon Musk. They're a very unique group.

Starting point is 02:34:33 You know, they're not easily pigeonholed. They have some aspects of Marxism and some aspects of fascism and things like that. But it is its own thing. Technocracy is its own thing and we're talking more about that but we're going to take really a quick break here and we'll be right back plant the seed in our homeland boys let it grow where all can see feed it with our devotion boys call it the liberty tree it's a tall old tree and a strong old tree. And we are the sons, yes we are the sons, the sons of liberty. © BF-WATCH TV 2021 liberty it's your move you're listening to the david knight show all right ray kurzweil a successful inventor and technologist but now he has made a true idol out of technology the singularity as i mentioned this is where they think man and machine are going to merge. They see knowledge, technology, and science as the things that are going to give us eternal life.

Starting point is 02:36:31 They worship that as a religion. He's now got a new book called The Singularity is Near. He said humans are going to fully merge with AI now, becoming immortal cyborgs by 2045 he also predicts that advancements in ai will make it possible to resurrect loved ones and to connect our brains to cloud technology in which he calls the fifth epic of human intelligence well uh his claim to fame is that he predicted that a computer would beat somebody at chess by 1998 um well of course um uh i think what is meant by that they don't uh in the daily mail it's not just gonna be somebody i'm sure that computers beat a lot of people before 1998 because a lot of people

Starting point is 02:37:18 not very good chess players i'm one of them but uh and i used to have a computer chess game that could beat me much earlier than that but um i think he's talking about one of the chess masters what he says is that babies born today will be just graduating college when the singularity happens well there you go travis so um we've got a lot of work to do don don't we? That little guy is going to have a fight on his hands, isn't he? Nanotechnology will enable these trends to culminate in directly expanding our brains with layers of virtual neurons in the cloud. I see just the opposite happening. I see not a singularity, but an idiocracy that's happening here as we merge ourselves with the technology we're getting dumber and dumber we've merged ourselves with our phones and we've merged ourselves right out of society he says in this way we will merge with ai these are the most exciting

Starting point is 02:38:17 years in all of history he said well if true it reminds me of the Chinese curse, may you live in interesting times. And of course, their character for crisis consists of two characters. One character that represents danger and the other one that represents opportunity. And that really is where we are. We are in a crisis. So, as I said, he's predicting that the dead will come back to life. Think about what this guy is talking about. He says, at first, in the form of simulations which will replicate a person,

Starting point is 02:38:55 and then we will physically bring them back to life. Again, what do these people who are pushing transhumanism and the singularity, what do they think they are? What are you? Well, Christians believe that we are body, that we're soul, that we're spirit. Soul be the mind and the emotions. But what do they think that we are? They don't, because they are 100% materialistic,

Starting point is 02:39:27 they don't believe in anything that is immaterial. And yet, those are the most important parts of us. He wants to bring back his father, he said, who died when he was 22 years old. And so he began using AI to try to bring back his father. Well, that's an interesting term. Why would he use AI? Where is his father now? If he's going to bring him back, where is he?

Starting point is 02:39:52 He doesn't think that his father is a soul or a spirit. How is he going to bring him back? Well, he created what he calls a replicant of his father by feeding an artificial intelligence system with his father's letters essays and musical compositions well that's not really any different than somebody having an audio or video recording of somebody i mean we can all go back and and look at old movies and we don't usually think about the fact that everybody there is dead, but we watch classic movies all the time.

Starting point is 02:40:26 They seem very much alive to us, don't they? Always there, and that's, he's not doing anything that's any different than watching an old Jimmy Stewart movie or something, right? Probably not as detailed as that, but that's not Jimmy Stewart. You know, I remember our daughter when she came back and she was about five years old when we adopted her. And she, um, uh, Karen likes, uh,

Starting point is 02:40:53 white Christmas and a lot of Bing Crosby movies. So she was watching Bing Crosby movies. And, uh, at some point she asked, uh, you know, where is he or something? He said, well, he's dead. And I was like, oh, oh, you know, she was. And then she asked about somebody else who was in the movie. Of course, these movies 50, 60 years old, even at the time, maybe older. And, you know, after about two or three of these, you go all dead, all dead. And that's that's the way it is and and and yet the reality is they seem very alive to her probably more alive than kurzweil's

Starting point is 02:41:31 replicant of his father he says we're already creating them through digital activities enormously rich records of how we think and of what we feel but he said uh we're going to do it with more realistic um living bodies he said we're going to take dna and we're going to grow them back and then we will merge that biological body with technology he said by the end of the 2020s he expects highly realistic non-biological recreations of people and then living bodies as a matter of fact you know when he talks about creating these non-realistic non-biological realistic non-biological recreations of people he said we're creating enormously rich records of what we think and what we feel so is he going to go back and scrape social media and recreate a replicant of somebody from social media posts? Are we going to have some really mean zombies walking around?

Starting point is 02:42:41 Because that's what happens to people on social media. When you start posting anonymously, it brings out the worst in people. Imagine creating zombies from social media postings. He says eventually the replicants may even be housed in cybernetically augmented biological bodies grown from DNA of the original person. And by the 2040s, he says it'll be possible to make a copy of a person. Well, again, it isn't going to be that person. And who knows how accurate that copy is going to be.

Starting point is 02:43:14 By the way, Jason Barker says the link is nightsofthestorm.com forward slash form. And again, a lot of good resources at nights of the storm that Jason and angry tiger have put together they've got a they've got a schedule of a lot of different talk shows that are there when they are what day they are what time they are so it's a great resource for a lot of different things so there's the forum on nights of the storm and and and you can see uh the different archives that are there on um rock fan rational lampooner says david i know you're working at capacity i'm thankful for you might scale daily show back to one or two hours three hours of content daily

Starting point is 02:43:59 is too much for a small outfit but you do god's work well thank you i appreciate that if i did scale it back i think i would probably um you know once i go through and have to i go through so many different websites i wind up with so much content that it's um you know i'd be throwing away a lot of stuff every day if i only did two hours you know and i kind of have to go through that many different websites i could edit it down but um uh going through and and just collecting them is very time consuming and uh so i think it would be better to do like a four-day work week so i don't know we might just might start doing like an open uh mic friday and and uh ask me anything questions on friday i think that would be something that would real move is we're going to do gaming streams and we're going to make you

Starting point is 02:44:49 play video games i'm going to turn you into a real twitch streamer here yeah yeah i'm sure everybody will turn in to watch those epic fails so that much this old guy play video games? I have reaction speed of Joe Biden, something like that. So getting back to this imagined immortality here, backed up by huge leaps forward in health treatment. You see how Pollyanna he is about all this stuff? Yeah, medicine has worked so great for us. I wonder if this guy's gotten all jabbed up yeah if we look at vaccines he says by the way he said by 2030 we will have ai biological simulators that will do all the clinical testing in just hours rather than years well this problem has already been solved by fauci you know you you don't have to do years worth of testing

Starting point is 02:45:43 you just do disruption from the inside and you do it iteratively and then you're done. Right? Oh, I haven't done any tests. Where's this guy been? Leading to new drugs and to longevity treatments. Well, you know, we've had these biological simulators around for a while. That's part of the problem. You hear people talk about doing something in vitro.

Starting point is 02:46:03 Well, that's doing it in the glass. So they do some tests of drugs and stuff like that. They might do them in a vial. You know, you got a bacteria or something. You want to see if this stuff kills a bacteria. That's fine. Then you take it to another level. You can do it inside the person's body.

Starting point is 02:46:18 That would be in vivo. See if whatever you're giving them kills a bad stuff and leaves you alone, that type of thing. Then they call it in silica. All right. And what that means is that they're just in a computer model. How well did computer models work out for us during the lockdown? I've got these two really smart people and they showed me this simulation. And so I'm locking everybody down.

Starting point is 02:46:44 That's what Trump did. We had that simulation from the Imperial College of London, and they couldn't get the same answer twice with the same input, but they just picked which one of the outputs that they liked, and they went with that. Yeah, so we'll do all the drug testing with this. That's one of the reasons why Hugo de Garis wrote his book, The Art of Like Wars, because he said Kurzweil is just too Pollyanna about this stuff.

Starting point is 02:47:08 He thinks that all this stuff is going to work out. It's going to work out for good. And Hugo de Garis is not even a Christian, but he looked at this and said, seems to me like a lot of things could go wrong with this. I think what is going to go wrong with it is really what he titled his book, Artileck Wars, Artificial Intelligence Wars, that as people realize what these elites are doing, what Klaus Schwab and others are planning to do, that people are going to push back, and perhaps it'll be a violent thing. He thought that it would be a violent thing, and he thought that the technical elites with their superior weapons would fight back, that it would be giga death.

Starting point is 02:47:49 That may be what is in the future. Who knows? Either way, what these people are trying to grow exponentially, ultimately expanding our intelligence millions fold. Well, you know, they've got a lot of work to do because when he talks about how the substrate could be millions of times faster than our biological tissue, it's one of the amazing miracles about what God has built and created. And that is the fact that so many calculations can be done by the human brain and not generate the kind of heat that they're looking at.

Starting point is 02:48:41 There's a, sometimes as they try to model this, it becomes even more astounding what God has created. But let me just, before we run out of time here, there was an interesting article on Dissenter. Thoughts about the idolatry of American politics. And he said, you know, when you look at what is happening in politics, he says, I don't know how God can make it any clearer that he's cursing his people or their idolatrous

Starting point is 02:49:11 trust in pagan politicians, no matter what party they're from. He says, we now have the two parties, really. He says the party, but it's actually two parties that openly celebrate and promote sexual perversion and death, and the party that at best tolerates this perversion and death. Nobody with actually biblical worldview has any chance whatsoever of getting elected to any high office in this country. Again, another reason is why you focus on local elections. You do have a chance of getting people with character in at the local level and just like i mentioned before you can do things like change the ucc code at the state level and other things like that to block this globalist elitist plan he said there might be a district here

Starting point is 02:49:57 or there scattered around but it's 99 and a half percent he said it's not mysterious it's exactly what god has always done to weed out the pretenders to purify his true children and he said it's not mysterious it's exactly what god has always done to weed out the pretenders to purify his true children and he said that's the part that kills me when i talk like this people act like i'm speaking some sort of alien language he said professing american christians are far more american than they are Christian. He says it's all a product of our ease and comfort. And let's face it, the American dream is about ease and comfort. Comfort, convenience, choice.

Starting point is 02:50:35 Comfort being the lack of hardship. Convenience meaning that everything we need is available right away. And an endless variety of things to choose from. Many people called it affluenza. He said God's people are showing that when presented with this ease and comfort, it will displace Christ as Lord of their life. And again, it was a much bigger challenge for Solomon to face prosperity. Tons and tons of wives.

Starting point is 02:51:13 So again, it is always wealth, sex, power, and it was more than the wisest man could handle. Most Christians throughout history, including biblical history, had no comfort, no convenience, no choice about anything. And yet, they were towering giants of the faith. including biblical history had no comfort no convenience no choice about anything and yet they were towering giants of the faith you know you just look at uh george miller that i was talking about he was always dirt poor he gave away everything that he ever got i mean even when he

Starting point is 02:51:35 was a pastor all he did was stick a box in the back of the church never talked to anybody never passed a plate never asked for money They just put it back there. So we're true worshippers of Christ. None of this is about politics. None of this is even about the United States. It's all about God cleansing his son's church as a body and as individuals. And this is

Starting point is 02:51:59 not some radical new teaching. It only sounds that way to Americanized Christians who have only ever known ease and comfort. The U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights are noble documents. They represent a system of government that most closely aligns with biblical principles, more so than any other government in history. Yet the trouble is that they rely entirely on the private conscience of those under its rule in order to function and if you don't have men of character they are not going to follow that on rumble pro alpha says mr knight please rename your show drop any affiliation

Starting point is 02:52:41 you had with the info wars theme the chest knight could be seen as a symbol for the new world order go back and restream on youtube also well no that's possible if you've been watching this program you know that i've been kicked off of youtube multiple times i even had my channel that was just christian music kicked off no explanation so um getting on youtube is not a problem i didn't choose not to be on youtube they chose not to have me on youtube what i chose was not to tailor what i talk about to what they demand and so as a result we're on different platforms in terms of my name and the chess piece um you know people can if they look hard enough they can probably find whatever good or bad symbolism they want to find in anything uh it's a play on my name it's a chess piece that's all it is i'm not really if people want to read something else into it

Starting point is 02:53:36 that's their problem let's talk about christian nationalism though because you know yesterday the a and david kind of looks like a pyramid so we might be in trouble there too you may just have to change your name. And the V is an upside-down pyramid, so that has to go as well. That's right, yeah. If we merge those two over, it makes like some kind of a Masonic thing, you know.

Starting point is 02:53:55 Pyramid up, pyramid down. Anyway, let's talk a little bit about a speech that Josh Hawley gave at the Heritage Foundation. They had something they called the national conservative conference natcom natcon and it was about christian nationalism and you know i i when i look at it i you know are we trying um are we are we trying to use christianity or are we fighting against the efforts to, are we trying to use Christianity to get what we want?

Starting point is 02:54:30 In other words, it's kind of a politicized prosperity gospel, right? Well, you know, it works really good if we have a Christian society. We've had a lot of people who said that. Most recently, we've had Richard Dawkins who said that. He said, yeah, you know,

Starting point is 02:54:44 I would definitely, as they're filling up the country with Muslims, he said, I would pick Christianity any day of the year, you know, any day of the week or whatever, over Islam. And he goes, I really like the, you know, the church cathedrals and the Christmas stuff and all the rest of the stuff. He likes a lot of the fruit of Christianity, but I don't like the tree. You know, as Doug Wilson pointed out, he says, yeah, I love those apples, but I don't like that orchard. Let's cut down those trees. It really, you know, you can't have the fruit of Christianity without the root of Christianity, which is Christ. You can't have the fruit of Christianity if you make this all about materialism and you don't have the supernatural power that is behind it for the Christians.

Starting point is 02:55:34 And so like Dawkins, you got a lot of people who, from a political standpoint, you know, just like you've got Joel Osteenin out there telling people well you give me a lot of money and god's going to give you back even more money right the prosperity gospel it makes it all about material money and wealth and uh you know the typical american stuff about uh ease and comfort and uh affluence and that type of thing and then you've got the politicians like josh holly who look at this and say well we would like to have an orderly society where and affluence and that type of thing. And then you've got the politicians like Josh Hawley who look at this and say, well, we would like to have an orderly society

Starting point is 02:56:08 where everybody is behaving nicely and cooperating together and all that kind of stuff. So I'd like to have that fruit. And so let's make that the thing that we're going to strive for. And throughout this long speech that they reprinted, that's really what he's talking about. He's talking about how wonderful it is to live in a society where people

Starting point is 02:56:32 are faithfully following Christ and his guidelines, but he doesn't want to talk about God in it. And so it really is a political version of the prosperity gospel that you see from people like Joel Osteen. And he begins talking about it by talking about Augustine and his city of God. I've mentioned that briefly other times. As Rome was destroyed, Augustine was in North Africa, and he said, and a lot of people were

Starting point is 02:57:01 saying, well, that's it, you know, Rome got soft because of all these Christians. And look at what's happened now. It's just collapsed in and of itself. It's Christianity is the fault. And so he said, no, that's not the case. And so he wrote The City of God. And he contrasted The City of God with The City of Man. He said, in The City of Man, you're going to have people who are going to be focused on

Starting point is 02:57:26 love of self. Are we like that? They're going to have a lot of division and conflict. They're going to have temporal concerns. They're going to be focused on the here and now. And they're going to have contempt for God. So do we sound like the city on the hill, the shining city on the hill, or do we sound like the city of man?

Starting point is 02:57:49 When you look at those four things there, I think we check all of those boxes. And he gets it wrong because he says, you know, the city of man, these problems that we have of society, they come from human desires, from human reason, the destructive nature of ambition, how we pursue power. He said, while Augustine said all nations are constituted by what they love, his philosophizing actually described an entirely new idea of a nation, unknown to the ancient world, a new kind of nationalism, if you like, christian nationalism organized around christian ideals a nationalism driven not by conquest but by common purpose united not by fear but by common love a nation

Starting point is 02:58:31 made not for the rich or for the strong but for the poor and spirit for the common man where's christ in that you notice he doesn't talk about it throughout this instead we are a nation that is formed from Augustine's vision. He said, some people say I'm calling America a Christian nation, and so I am. And some will say I'm advocating for Christian nationalism, and so I do. Is there any other kind that is worth having? The truth is, he said, Christian nationalism is not a threat to American democracy. Christian nationalism founded American democracy,

Starting point is 02:59:05 and it is the best form of democracy yet devised by men, the most just, the most free, the most humane, praiseworthy, and so forth. Everything that he is focused on is secular. It's just that instead of your money or your house or your new car or whatever it leads you to with the prosperity gospel. What he's looking at is a political affluenza, political peace and that type

Starting point is 02:59:32 of thing. Nowhere does he talk about how lives were changed. Nowhere. Yeah, the city of man and the city of God are going to be intertwined. They're not going to be separated until judgment. The wheat will grow up amongst the tares. But we have to ask ourselves what we personally are rooted in. Is it in politics? Is it in this world? Or is it in Christ?
