Starting point is 00:00:30 Happiness. We all know what it feels like. But sometimes it doesn't come easy. I'm Garvey Bailey, the host of Happy Enough, a new podcast from The Globe and Mail about our pursuit of happiness. We know people want to live more fulfilling and positive lives, but how do we actually do that? Is there a happiness code to crack? From our relationship with technology to whether money can really buy you happiness, we'll hear from both real people and experts
Starting point is 00:01:01 to demystify this thing we're all searching for and hopefully find ways to be happy enough. You can find Happy Enough wherever you listen to podcasts. Using free speech to free minds. You're listening to The David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it's Thursday, the 14th of November, Year of Our Lord 2024. Well, today we're going to take a look at some justice for the mandates. Some big justice. And there's a lot more justice about to break on some of these companies. These big companies that were firing people
Starting point is 00:02:25 for not getting the jab, they're now going to pay in a big way. We're also going to take a look at food issues. If there's no CO2, there's no food. And we have perhaps a rebellion starting to build in the UK as people see the agenda. Yes, the power to tax is the power to destroy.
Starting point is 00:02:47 And the question is, how are they going to do that in the UK? An unlikely hero has emerged, Jeremy Clarkson. And we're going to talk about that. Is he going to become the next Donald Trump, the Donald Trump of the UK? He could be Jeremy Clarkson. And we'll talk about uh gates appointment uh it is uh matt gates is going to be a firebomb it's going to be interesting to see what happens we'll be right back well a woman was fired for refusing a covid vaccine and now a couple years later she's gotten
Starting point is 00:03:28 13 million 13 million dollars from a lawsuit against blue cross blue shield of michigan uh that's even better than the uh the the Republican governor of Ohio, DeWine. I called him DeWiner, who was offering people, you had a chance to win a million dollars if you take this unsafe vaccine. Well, she didn't take it, and she got $13 million. And there's a lot of other people who are there in this legal lottery that are lined up to bankrupt uh some of these companies perhaps they probably won't i mean blue cross blue shield is so big they can get hit with billions of dollars just like monsanto got hit with billions of
Starting point is 00:04:16 dollars they had i think 60 billion dollars worth of liability because of glyphosate damage and bear said oh that's nothing. And they bought them. That doesn't even affect our profitability. Lisa Domsky was awarded almost $13 million in compensation from her former employer, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan. She's a Catholic. She refused to take the vaccine for religious reasons. She had worked at the insurance company for 38 years as an IT specialist
Starting point is 00:04:46 until she was fired for standing up for her rights. And this is a familiar story. And what they did to her is also familiar. We have seen how they've weaponized this type of thing, but they don't have any immunity. And, you know, quite frankly, even the vaccine companies don't have any immunity for fraud, which is what they've engaged in. And so those kinds of lawsuits are still to be determined.
Starting point is 00:05:17 Domsky was awarded the massive payoff after a federal jury in Detroit ruled in favor of her religious discrimination case. The company fired her for refusing the injection, despite her insistence that it conflicted with her Catholic faith. Her lawyer, John Marco, and he's got a lot of these things. He's got hundreds of these lined up, and so does another lawyer just in Michigan. Several hundred cases lined up with these two. I think it's almost 700 cases lined up just between these two lawyers to come after various employers who fired people just in
Starting point is 00:05:53 Michigan. Donsky's lawyer, John Marco, revealed that she had worked remotely during the pandemic and was on a hybrid arrangement before the COVID outbreak. She had been working at home remotely. And so she posed absolutely no risk to anybody else. But they were determined that even though she was working by herself in her home remotely and was going to continue to do so, she still had to have the vaccine. Isn't that amazing? If I was on that jury, I definitely 13 million dollars. Let's go higher than that. That's just outrageous. This is a woman who is working from home in her basement office, who is not a threat to anybody, was completely fulfilling all of her job obligations and had done so for 38 years. She submitted a written statement to her employer detailing her religious beliefs she attached the contact information of her priest and her parish to confirm the information
Starting point is 00:06:51 and yet blue cross blue shield never followed up so she's got a trail there a document trail showing that i gave them all this information i gave them people that they could ask them if they knew me, if I was sincere in my religious beliefs. They didn't care. They fired her anyway. They denied her accommodation request. They threatened to terminate her if she didn't comply with the vaccine mandate.
Starting point is 00:07:13 She refused and was subsequently fired. And again, they are absolutely unrepentant in this, even after they have lost this. She, you know, the thing is, as he points out, she posed no risk to others. But this insurance company, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and many others like it, will destroy a pediatrician's practice if he doesn't have a sufficient percentage of his children vaccinated according to the schedule that they
Starting point is 00:07:46 push. Again, people have to understand how it isn't necessarily orders. We can all see the orders, but we don't understand the economic pressure that is put on people, both incentives and bribes and blackmails. It can go either way. And so you can bribe people to do this. If that doesn't work, you can blackmail them and say, well, not only that, I'm going to cut across the board, which is what the insurance companies do. We've had pediatricians talk about that.
Starting point is 00:08:19 If you don't get 80%, I think it was, of your patients all fully vaccinated, all these children, then we're going to significantly cut down across the board everything that we pay you that is submitted to insurance, just like that. And that's the same way that presidents do this as well. Money is always about control with these people and it can be very subtle so um they put this policy in in october of 2021 uh under the policies employees are mandated to be fully vaccinated or obtain a religious or medical accommodation so they were supposedly had that there i'm sure that their legal people um said we can't um we can't overrule that. But then somebody else in the company decided that they were going to do it anyway.
Starting point is 00:09:11 I guess somebody in human resources. The legal department puts that in there because that's the law, and that's what they violated. But somebody else, human resources, went over it. The insurer questioned her sincere religious conflict and of course we all know that they were doing that right as a matter of fact they were openly doing it and the mainstream media was publishing articles to show companies how to do this hey just ask them have you ever used an aspirin well do you know that aspirin is using aborted cells? Do you know that?
Starting point is 00:09:49 Well, okay. Well, then you're a hypocrite. You really don't believe any of this stuff, so I'm going to throw out your religious objection. They were wargaming the tactics on how they would trick and trip up people, how they would come against them. And it was put out by mainstream media so that even small companies could see this. The company claimed that it is ignorant, despite the fact that she had written statements and contact information for her church.
Starting point is 00:10:18 So she got $10 million in punitive damage, $1.7 million in lost wages, and $1 million in non-economic damages company says it's disappointed in the verdict it still defends its vaccine policy good let's keep coming at them tens of millions of dollars this is the lady who worked for 38 years uh and now this is three years later okay so she's to retire. And this is a nice bonus for her. Throughout the pandemic, they said Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, together with its employees, worked to promote the health and the safety of our colleagues, our stakeholders and communities by forcing people to get an untested vaccine.
Starting point is 00:11:02 And, you know, this is not the first rodeo for Blue Cross Blue Shield. They lost a big judgment in...

In Tennessee, not nearly as big as this, $700,000 settlement, Blue Cross of Tennessee.
Starting point is 00:12:17 Another woman was fired for not complying with the no jab, no job mandate. Tennessee federal jury found that Tonja Benton proved by a preponderance of evidence that her decision to refuse a vaccine was based on a sincerely held religious belief. She also worked on a mostly remote basis before the pandemic. This lady was 100% remote. And instead of $700,000, she got $13 million. And so Blue Cross is unrepentant. They said, as part of our shared work for everybody's health, Blue Cross and its subsidiaries enacted a vaccine policy requiring all of its employees to be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 or to obtain a religious or medical accommodation, which they did not accommodate. And so they didn't accommodate the objections, and they're not about health either. As a matter of fact, our personal experience, we had a friend when we lived in North Carolina
Starting point is 00:13:12 who had insurance with Blue Cross of North Carolina for a very long time. And when he got brain cancer, they dropped him. And I forget what the technicality was. But, you know, I mean, that kind of sealed the deal for me with Blue Cross. But these are people who worked for them. And Blue Cross, they said, designed this accommodation process. Again, that is a lie. It's been proven to be a lie in court.
Starting point is 00:13:45 That's why they got to pay $13 million. The company said it is reviewing its legal options. In other words, are they going to appeal? And will determine its path forward in the coming days. So, the lawyer who represented her said he is representing 170 others. Now, some other reports say that the figure, I think, was 180 in some other reports. who represented her said he is representing 170 others. Now, some other reports say that the figure, I think, was 180 in some other reports.
Starting point is 00:14:16 And separate wrongful termination cases who are taking similar action against Blue Cross and Michigan. So just that one company has got nearly 200 people coming after it. In the first judgment they lost 13 million dollars the trials are set to begin next year according to the complaint she also alleged that blue cross was interviewing employees seeking religious accommodations and one of the questions was whether the employees took over-the-counter medications such as aspirin see it's exactly what i said aspirin pseudofed tums tylenol falsely claiming that tums and tylenol were developed and produced using aborted babies cells
Starting point is 00:14:54 um aspirin for example okay been around since the 1800s uh was it willow bark or something like that that then refined and uh but um yeah they go back and they find, well, you know, recently they did some additional tests on these things and they used this reprehensible method. But that doesn't mean that it was based on that. So anyway, this is the tactic that they use, the tactic that was publicized by the mainstream media. Her lawyer told the defender that Blue Cross denied over 500 religious accommodations. They denied 75% of the requests that were filed. And again, this is probably something that comes down to individual human resources people making that decision. So the policy was that we're going to recognize religious accommodations, but it's going to be determined on an individual basis depending on who you talk to.
Starting point is 00:15:59 That's why they approved 25% of them. But there was a huge bias against this within the company. So he's about a you know 170 180 of these so far he might be able to get 500 uh the people have spoken he said when the jury assessed 10 million dollars in purity of damages it was a day of reckoning violations of one's sacred rights are no longer tolerated. And again, as I said before, Pfizer's got immunity for this garbage, and it is poison. It's worse than garbage. They've got immunity for this, but not for fraud.
Starting point is 00:16:39 And they've made a lot of fraudulent claims. They also don't have immunity for manufacturing defects, but of the fda is looking the other way for that as well but they can be litigated against for fraud and um you know when we look at the um it's just the corporate minions of this trump globalist agenda that was pushed on people and biden trump and biden it's the un agenda the who agenda the gates agenda that was pushed on people and Biden, Trump and Biden. It's the UN agenda, the WHO agenda, the Gates agenda and on and on. All this stuff that was run through these people. They get immunity, legal immunity. But you don't get any immunity against any disease.
Starting point is 00:17:21 Which you get is immune disorders. It's only going to get worse for Blue Cross. Lawsuits challenging workplace vaccine mandates and rejection of religious exemption requests are starting to win in court, said Reuters in a report published on the 1st of November. The report cited recent rulings against not only Blue Cross of Tennessee, but also the Bay Area Rapid Transit.
Starting point is 00:17:44 This was out in San Francisco where someone was fired because they did not take the vaccine. cross of Tennessee, but also the Bay Area Rapid Transit. This was out in San Francisco where someone was fired because they did not take the vaccine. A 2023 U.S. Supreme Court ruling raised the burden of proof for employers who want to prove undue hardship, making it easier for plaintiffs to file such lawsuits and in 2021 the u.s equal employment opportunity commission advised employers to quote generally assume that an employee's request for a religious exemption is based on a sincerely held belief that should be the default position why would you go in and start trying to trip them up in some kind of uh inquisition well really how sincere are you with these religious beliefs it's like boy it's just uh but anyway they um uh the lawyer said that he represents again 180 uh they're reporting in the other article they said 170, but there's another attorney, Noah Hurwitz, who served as a co-counsel in this particular case.
Starting point is 00:18:49 He told Detroit Free Press that he's involved in approximately 300 lawsuits filed by people who were fired after their employers refused to grant their religious or medical exemption request. This is a booming field. Any lawyers out there get into this and make some money? Go for it. Everybody should sue the pants off of these people. And those 300 additional lawsuits are not just, you know, the other part of the 500 that are at Blue Cross. No, this is a variety of employers. T-Mobile, Carhartt, Honeywell, Henry Ford Health, Ascension Health, Trinity Health, Motor City, MGM, Grand Casinos in Detroit, and Ann Arbor.
Starting point is 00:19:35 Right? And so a lot of these, Henry Ford Health, Ascension Health, Trinity Health, those are probably, I'm guessing, hospitals that are going to be there. So these are nurses, doctors maybe even who were fired the lawyer said juries are much more likely than judges to rule in favor of employees in discrimination cases he said unlike the judiciary citizens are not a part of the system. Absolutely. We're going to solve this, folks. If we hang together, there's more of us.
Starting point is 00:20:11 This is why I keep trying to tell people. First of all, understand how they use money. How they use money to bribe and blackmail people. Then understand how we can fight back if we hang together against this stuff. And we can fight them at the local level. We can get, if we have good people at the local level, we can ban these vaccines. You've seen it in Idaho.
Starting point is 00:20:29 You've seen it in Australia. But it's small, local movement. It's going to be from ground up that we're going to revolt against this. It's not going to be from the top down. You're not going to get this fixed by electing people to office in Washington. And if you get totally caught up in that,
Starting point is 00:20:43 you'll get nothing done. All the stuff in Washington is And if you get totally caught up in that, you'll get nothing done. All the stuff in Washington is against us. They're at war with us. They're loyal to Israel. They're not loyal to the Constitution. Americans come way down on the list. They hate us. They absolutely hate us. They want to impose a globalist agenda. As a matter of fact, it's not that the globalist agenda is something that is outside of them. Whether you're talking about UN or Gates or any of this stuff, that's coming from them. They create these outside organizations to push us out other places. And the perception of too many people in America is that, well, you know,
Starting point is 00:21:25 this, the UN, we need to cut off the UN. Yeah, we need to shut it down. Absolutely need to shut down. But understand, as Pogo said, we has met the enemy and they is us. We're the major funder of the UN. NATO is out there pushing for a global war in Europe, But we fund NATO for the most part. Right. So we create these organizations and then they say, oh, well, you know, these organizations are making me do it. That's just deniability on their part. Want to own part of the airline you flew with on your last vacation or part of the company that makes your favorite triple shot latte with extra foam?

Starting point is 00:22:58 They've got their own agenda. They don't care about us. We're going to fight this at the local level or not at all. And all of this vicarious hand wringing and cheering or whatever that is happening. That's that's just a distraction. That's just to keep you from doing anything at all. So he says all vaccine injury cases deserve to be tried by a jury of one's peers. He said the likelihood of juries siding with plaintiffs Reagan, we got to give them legal immunity
Starting point is 00:23:48 or they're going to be sued out of existence because these vaccines are hurting so many people. Oh, okay, well, we'll give them legal immunity. And then we get the autism explosion. Karen corrected me when I was talking about Rain Man. I said 1979. It's 1989. I think it came out.
Starting point is 00:24:11 Because right after that, you know, it was, well, let's start telling people about autism. It was already starting to pick up a little bit after they stopped the liability issues there. And so it was also the 1986 thing with Reagan. It was the George W. Bush Prep Act that came in in 2005, took away the rights of people to sue for injury for this very reason. Everybody knows that these things are wrong. So now they're going to go after the corporations. Here's what I think is going to happen, quite frankly. I would not be surprised to see Congress, regardless of whether it's controlled by Republicans or Democrats, I would not be surprised to see Congress take away your ability to sue the corporations that coerce you. I really think that's going to happen.
Starting point is 00:24:53 I think that'll be their response. I think that'll be their response rather than stopping these vaccines. I think they'll give legal immunity to the corporations that compel you. They'll say, we're going to kick you out on the street if you don't put this poison into your arm. Well, flying is less safe now because of the COVID vaccines. And this is coming out of the UK. The Daily Skeptic, Nick Hunt, said, last month I wrote about Pfizer's latest analysis of
Starting point is 00:25:20 millions of patients' data from a range of European national healthcare systems, including the NHS. The data is segmented by categories like age, sex, and importantly, by COVID vaccination status of each patient. The very data that governments around the world continue to refuse to make public. Pfizer's results included a hazard ratio, which is a measure of the relative frequency of serious adverse events between coveted vaccinated people and unvaccinated groups he said pfizer itself is now reporting to medicine regulators that its covet vaccine has significantly increased the occurrence of a range of heart conditions and he shows them there he said what I didn't say at the time was that I'd also written to Sir Stephen Hillier, chairman of the Civil Aviation Authority in the UK, asking for his comments about the
Starting point is 00:26:16 implications of this for aviation safety. In particular, the increased likelihood of a COVID vaccinated pilot being incapacitated in flight by cardiac issue. Let's just understand. We're talking about people like to talk about COVID vaccines and it helps them to keep this this double thing together. These are the Trump vaccines. They so proud of being the father of a month on. It still hasn't.
Starting point is 00:26:42 They still haven't replied, being chased therefore i'm writing this article he says you might say not so fast even if pfizer itself is now saying that it's covid vaccine it's trump shots increase the frequency of heart problems the affected pilots will no longer be flying because they will have been screened out by the right regular medicals and the number of uk pilots falling into their aero medicals all causes has soared and he says for example take a look at this he goes back to 2018 19 and 20. now 2018 and 19600, okay? There's nothing at all about COVID. In 2020, it plunges to 851 because airlines are largely shut down. But then, and also then in 2021, as they start to fly again, it goes back up.
Starting point is 00:27:39 But he says the vaccine was not pushed to the pilots until November for Australian pilots in November, but not even at that for the British pilots. And so our U.S. and Australian pilots, it was pushed to them in November, but the British pilots did not get it until 2022. So what happened? In a normal year, it would be between 1,500 and 1,600 that would be kicked out for medical reasons. In 2022, it went up to 2,800, a 75% increase in Britain when they started vaccinating the pilots, failing their medicals for heart issues.
Starting point is 00:28:26 Unfortunately, the Aviation Authority has refused my Freedom of Information request for data on what proportion of those medical fails were for heart conditions. It said, there is still a major problem, though. The periodic medical examinations required by aviation regulators don't eliminate the risk of in-flight incapacitation. They never did. In fact, aviation regulators have for years scaled the curiosity and the depth of those medicals against the frequency of sudden incapacitation in the general population. So if you've got two pilots flying a plane, they use the 1% rule. Probably one of the pilots will become incapacitated mid-flight, must be less than 1% per year. So they want there to be less than a 1% chance that one of the pilots is going to
Starting point is 00:29:13 fail. And then you still got the backup pilot there. They said that in dual crew operations, the risk is only critical during takeoff and landing phases. Simulator data suggests that the second co-pilot successfully takes control 99 times out of 100. Therefore, they come up with this 1% rule. So you got a 99% chance that when takeoff or landing, one person suddenly dies, that the other person can take over and handle it. The corresponding rule for a solo pilot is an order less. So it has to be a 0.1% per year because there's no second pilot. Pfizer's latest report of increased heart problems in the COVID vaccinated, the Trump shotted, let's say the Trump shototted uh has most likely invalidated the aviation
Starting point is 00:30:07 authority's prior assumptions about the risk of incapacitation in the general population so he says flying has therefore become less safe there's one final important point worth making pfizer's report also has implications for other sectors where an individual is in control of a safety critical system with potentially catastrophic fatal impact on other people. The obvious ones are going to be drivers of buses, drivers of trucks and trains, perhaps the House of Commons Transport Select Committee will investigate the safety impact of the Trump shots on aviation and all other sectors within its purview. Or, as many think, they're all just in denial of the adverse safety profile of these shots or want to avoid the economic impact of a loss of confidence in air travel
Starting point is 00:31:07 or maybe he doesn't say this the obvious thing is that they're corrupt and they're bought off by the pharmaceutical companies that they don't want to have the finger pointed at them if you start telling people that this thing is killing people right even if trump were to, as LifeSite News was dreaming, on day one, he could have a big win if he would just take the Trump shot, the COVID shot, the mRNA poison that he developed, if he would just take that off of the vaccine schedule. But of course, he's proud of it. And if you say that anything is wrong with it, now they're going to come after you. You have to pretend that it was a good thing in order to save your skin. So as you look at the fact that they absolutely refuse to acknowledge anything at all about the elephant in the room, this mRNA vaccine that we all know what it's doing to our friends
Starting point is 00:32:03 and neighbors and family, but the media and the government will not acknowledge it one way or the other. Now we've got the FDA, and this is highly publicized everywhere. Oh, look at how stringent the FDA is. And you've got conservative and libertarian press hectoring them over the fact that the FDA recalled 80,000 pounds of Costco butter because it didn't say if you're allergic to milk, this is going to be a problem. So they don't think that you understand that butter is made from milk. And everybody's looking at this and it's like, this bureaucracy is just out of control.

When the FDA, as I've said many times, means that you are free to do anything if you pay the right people. And so they're going to make an example out of this and they're going to strain at a gnat and swallow a camel. They're going to strain
Starting point is 00:33:59 at a label that says that butter, that doesn't say that butter has milk in it. And they're going to allow this mRNA genetic code injection, this nanotech, this thing that is polluted with DNA garbage and all the rest of this stuff, they're going to allow that to continue to go and to be used everywhere. They're not going to do anything to pull back on this. And by any standard, even by purity standards, these jabs fail.
Starting point is 00:34:34 But they don't care about that. And they're not going to, even though they put the black label on things like antibiotics, they don't tell you, right? The doctors don't tell you. The pharmacists don't tell you. You want to talk about a black label? What does that mean even? Oh, but we're going to throw away 40 tons of butter
Starting point is 00:34:59 because you didn't say it may contain milk. I guess they figured that people are so stupid not to know what's in the vaccines, and they won't even know that it's milk or butter in this stuff. The butter listed cream as an ingredient, so you wouldn't know that butter and cream come from milk, right? Um, also comes from cows who could have bird flu, you know,
Starting point is 00:35:32 um, Costco had to waste 40 times a perfectly good butter because shoppers apparently didn't know that butter contains milk. According to the FDA, uh, these guys are on it. You see, see how the FDA is guarding your health?
Starting point is 00:35:48 See how the media is guarding the FDA's health? The FDA classified the recall as a class two, meaning that the labeling error is, quote, a situation in which the use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequence is remote. So I would assume that maybe a class one would be something like the mRNA Trump shots, where it's not temporary, it's not medically reversible and the probability of serious adverse health effects are not remote but imminent so they're not going to warn you about the vaccines but again there's another aspect to this, right? I guess maybe in the defense of the FDA,
Starting point is 00:36:47 they figured that since they let all kinds of things be labeled, falsely labeled, I'm thinking here of honey, right? Most of the honey that is out there is not real honey. And they let it be labeled as real honey anyway. So I guess they figure, well, you know, butter, you know, under the rules that the FDA operates, you know, butter may not have any milk in it. Maybe it's just ground up bugs or something, you know?
Starting point is 00:37:16 I mean, that's the world in which they're trying to get us to live in. And so I thought, you know, it's kind of interesting. How do you tell pure honey from adulterated honey and i found this little video that i thought was really pretty good about this and it's got four different ways that you can do a honey purity test first one you can see does it dissolve and so you can put some pure honey and they got these two things side by side if you're listening to this so what they do is they put some water in and then they pour the honey in and if it dissolves it's adulterated then they do a flame test they take a little napkin and they wad it up and they stick it in the honey so you got honey on the tip of the napkin
Starting point is 00:37:57 and then you try to light it and the pure honey will, but the other one will not if it's adulterated. Third one is the blotting test. And so you pour some of this into a paper napkin and you fold it over and look at how it blots. And you see the other one is very watery. It looks like water. The honey looks like honey. And then the final one is kind of a viscosity test just take a little bit of it put it on your fingernail there your thumbnail and the adulterated honey will run a pure honey doesn't so these are several different
Starting point is 00:38:39 ways that you can test it because you know the fda is not going to test it interesting that the use of the word adulterated you know i think um maybe what they need to do for honey is they need to say this is adult food people will go for it you know just like it's an adult movie right that's that's what it means it means it's an adulterated movie it's got an adulterated impure version of sex that ruins the stuff right and so you know just uh but just that's the genius of it right you just call it well it's not a we're not going to call it adulterated we'll call it adult so if they're going to adulterate the honey just call it adult honey and everybody will be lined up you'll probably even have a shumley boat each as i have his daughter selling it. This kind of stringent labeling seems less necessary for products that clearly contain a specific allergen.
Starting point is 00:39:31 If a jar of peanut butter, for example, neglects to add that it has peanuts, should that all be destroyed by the FDA? But that also begs a question about our FDA. And the question is, why do we have so many allergies anymore? Right? That was another thing I started to see explode with the peers of our sons. I started to see this explosion in allergies. Could that have anything to do with the vaccine schedule? Hmm.
Starting point is 00:40:04 I wonder. And yet, you know, when we talk about, and people take it people should take it seriously, I mean, these allergies are very serious. You can go into shock. But there's a lot of people who go into shock because of polyethylene glycol that they were wrapping this nanotech garbage in the vaccines in. And Children's Health Defense saw that. I think it was Dr. Brian Hooker who's there he said wait a minute he said a lot of people have and go into anaphylactic shock if you got peg and so he contacted the fda and they said no we don't care contact pfizer they will destroy 80 000 pounds of butter because it doesn't say it's got milk and people might have a milk allergy they will come after something if it contains peanuts and it's not labeled
Starting point is 00:40:50 but they will let people put a PEG into the vaccines and they don't care and you inject that you don't ingest that, right? It's a lot more potent if you put something in your veins than if you take it orally. That's one of the other arguments against all vaccines. Against all vaccines. And so they don't really care about anaphylactic shock when it comes from polyethylene glycol, when something is pegylated.
Starting point is 00:41:23 They allow that to happen, and they didn't do anything about it. And lo and behold, we did have a lot of people who got anaphylactic shock after they took the vaccines. So I'll finish up with this. This is from Expose News in the UK. Exiting the WHO is not enough. We need to exit the entire corrupted public health industry i absolutely agree with this you know when you look at what rfk jr is saying well you know make me head of hhs or fda or
Starting point is 00:41:55 something i'll get rid of a lot of these different things within it that's not the issue that's not even the issue i mean you can rearrange these deck chairs anything and part of you know we're going to get into this Department of Education, what can or cannot be done by Trump if he's serious about this, getting rid of the Department of Education. You know, the Department of Education was created in 1980. And what they did was they took what had previously been the HEW, the Health, Education, and Welfare. And in 1980, they split it.
Starting point is 00:42:26 And they took health and welfare and put it under HHS. And they made education a separate department. I mean, did that change anything, really? No. I mean, you're just reorganizing it. Changing an org chart is not the issue. This mindset of public health, of public education, they're not about health. They're not about education. It's about control. It's about a centralized socialist communist form of control.
Starting point is 00:42:56 And for those reasons, it needs to be done. They both need to be done away with. They are both will always breed petty little dictators everywhere. Whether it's at a local health department or whether it is a classroom teacher. It's going to have the potential for that kind of abuse. All the way up and down the structure. So they say, additionally, WHO promoted policies that have harmed the world's most disadvantaged. Deprivation of millions. Want to own part of the airline you flew with on your last vacation?

Here's a people of food, education, and health care,
Starting point is 00:44:22 and they have contributed to the growth of national debts. To arrest the degradation of health, human rights, and sovereignty, we need an exit strategy from the unethical public health. This will require an exit strategy from approaches that were mired in conflict of interest and an emphasis on evidence rather than corporate profits. Or these people who are trying to build their little bureaucratic empire. We had the government in 2020 was turned over to public health dictators everywhere.
Starting point is 00:44:59 And of course the money was flowing out of Washington. That in and of itself is a reason for us to exit from it, just like we should exit from the pubic schools that operate on the same principles. We're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back. The common man. They created common core to dumb down our children. They created common past to track and control us. Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing. And the communist future.
Starting point is 00:45:42 They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around

If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers. TheDavidKnightShow.com All right, we're going to stay on food because I want to talk about the war on farms and what is really about this.
Starting point is 00:46:56 Is this, as some people have said in the UK, is this about the government taking land from the farmers? They changed the tax structure so that farmers would be forced to sell their farms. And so we know that that is, you know, to destroy the farms. The question is, what do they want to do with the land after that? And so there's two trains of thought. One of them is that they want to give it to migrants. The other one is that they want to use them for solar and wind.
Starting point is 00:47:22 And I actually subscribe to that latter one because I think when they call them solar farms and wind farms i think that's what they're looking at i think they want to take all the land for those purposes uh some of the comments atomic dog says big corporations can't be repentant because that would be an admission that they did wrong yeah they will have to just fight each case and hope that doesn't destroy them. And again, $60 billion in judgments for glyphosate, giving people these various forms of leukemia and things like that. They just shook it off. As a matter of fact, it wasn't even odious to bear.
Starting point is 00:48:02 They said, oh, yeah, we'll buy that. Not a problem. Don't frag me, bro. Self-destruction of corporations via forced medical treatment is part of their plan. It will create opportunities for TPTB to take over and shut down more and small and medium businesses. PatriotGal513. Son works an IT job from North Carolina for a hospital system in Tennessee mandated to take the jab.
Starting point is 00:48:31 Now he is very sick. 32 with two children. I am so sorry. I am so sorry. Uh, it's just, you know, it really was a Russian roulette and they use the fact that whenever you look
Starting point is 00:48:44 at these poisons and everything, and whatever happens with people, all these drugs, you know, just like it is with the chloroquine family, the floxans, the Cipro, and all the rest of these antibiotics like that, that whole family. Well, you've got 250,000 people who have filed claims. We don't know how many people were harmed by it 40 years ago. And they never do anything about it. Oh, it's rare it's rare i'm sorry if it was first do no harm if that were the ethics behind the medical community uh then you wouldn't be saying
Starting point is 00:49:17 well it's i don't know it's only three percent five percent ten percent of the people who get sick or die from this stuff so So we'll just keep doing it. Where do you draw that line? They're so adamant. Zero CO2. We're not going to tolerate any CO2. And we have zero tolerance for you disagreeing with us about anything as well. But they will tolerate death and injury for their profits, for their agenda,
Starting point is 00:49:50 because that's really what all this is really designed to do was to kill and injure people so sorry to see that birdhouse blues we lost a lot of old school well-trained experienced doctors since 2020 can't say that i blame them that's absolutely right yeah it's not good what they did with the military as well they wanted to purge out people who stood for individual liberty, people who stood for the Constitution, people who stood for the religious beliefs, because they might stand for yours. If they don't stand for their own, they're not going to stand for yours. That's what they wanted to have behind. And that's going to be one of the important things and maybe that'll be something you know i was very critical and i'm still you know i i don't know that these um you know some of these picks that uh trump has put in there i don't know they're going to get past the senate confirmation uh situation i mean there's ways that even though the republicans have a majority uh the democrats can use a filibuster to stop it. But one of the things that Pete Hegsgath, I guess it is,
Starting point is 00:50:49 is all about is to shut down some of this, I hate to use the term woke, but you know what I mean, this DEI garbage that they've been putting into the military and perhaps some of these other things, decriminalize being a Christian. So that could be a positive aspect. But all these people he's bringing in, they want war. It was already in the cards that Trump was going to go to war for Israel with Iran, I think. But when you look at what the people that he's put in there have said, it is full on, no question about it. Not going to get any pushback from them on that
Starting point is 00:51:25 um thomas falco thank you very much for the tip he says david his name his name is vivek rama slimy instead of smarmy yeah i think that is better vivek the snake rama rama slimy we'll talk about doge coming up here. Larbear says, so thankful you speak often about the dangers of the demonic agendas behind the jab. It's the biggest deception of our time. God bless you and yours. Well, thank you very much. I'll be interested to hear what Trump has to say about the vaccines now.
Starting point is 00:52:00 Is he going to continue? He's not going to continue to brag about it. I think he got that message. It was finally drilled into him. You had all these,ne allen root alex jones all of them were like stop talking about it you know you're putting us in an uncomfortable situation and they hate it and you know your people hate it but if push comes to shove if anybody asks him about the vaccine he will fall back on his little scripted thing. It was going to be like the 1918 flu. And I saved you from the 1918 flu.
Starting point is 00:52:27 I saved millions of people's lives. I think I saved 2 million. I just make this up, right? He's had time to see the damage. No more BS about it. Well, he's had time to see the damage for years. I mean, it was earlier this year. He was still bragging about the vaccines.
Starting point is 00:52:43 I don't think he's going to change with any of that stuff. He knew about it. That's why I could not support him. 12 June 1776, Trump has doubled down on his military Operation Warp Speed domestic terrorism. He refused to admit anything. Well, let's talk a little bit about the other big MacGuffin. We've got the big pandemic Macguffin and the public health tyranny that's there the medical martial law all the rest of the stuff but of course we also have
Starting point is 00:53:13 the climate mcguffin and that's the one that's been going on for a long time and that's the one that they're really focusing more and more now and so the war on fertilizer comes to britain it's coming from the Daily Skeptic. Having made an excellent start in trying to make British citizens both colder and poorer, the net zero fanatics in the new Labour government are turning their attention to making them hungrier. New taxes on agricultural fertilizer could add £150 million to the cost of local farmers faced with a choice of producing less food or raising prices and they point out that when the president of sri lanka
Starting point is 00:53:52 tried to pull this garbage and we pointed this out when you had mark ruta doing it in the netherlands it's kind of interesting what happened to mark ruta had to get out.

Well, when they tried to do this in Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka imposed a ban on fertilizer, and the local harvest failed, and he was forced to hightail it out of the country on a military jet ahead of an angry delegation of concerned citizens.
Starting point is 00:55:14 One protester told the BBC at the time that they wanted to put him in an open-air prison, quote, where he can do farm work, unquote. I heartily endorse that. See, that's the problem, though. You know, our public schools, our pubic schools, our government schools have so pacified our populations that I could never see that happening in Europe or the U.S. We would never do that.
Starting point is 00:55:40 We've been pacified. I mean, our ancestors would have grabbed these people and tarred and feathered them that's pretty bad stuff if you look at what that was that was hot tar and uh they were tarred and feathered them at the very least if not strung them up we don't do anything we're kind of afraid to even talk out on social media don't say anything the uk finance minister has confirmed plans to levy a carbon import duty on a number of vital supplies including fertilizer cement and aluminum and you know this will probably not even be just like the synthetic fertilizer stuff remember in the netherlands they were so manic about they tried to roll it out there first
Starting point is 00:56:25 let's try the netherlands and let's see what we can get away with in a european industrialized society and they made manure manure contraband you catch somebody what's that stuff you're taking across the border there um you don't need a specially trained dog to sniff it out either. That's the thing, I guess. Chairman of a liquid fertilizer firm, Brineflow, suggests that farmers will have to bear an extra annual burden of 150 million pounds. Well, guess what? These types of tariffs are going to be passed on all the way down the chain and eventually wind up on the table of the consumer. And that's what you need to remember about Trump's trade wars.
Starting point is 00:57:12 When he starts putting the tariffs out there, he's not going to take away any of the other taxes. These are going to be additional taxes that are going to be there. And they're going to show up in higher prices for everything. Nobody, no corporations, no farmers are going to show up in higher prices for everything. Nobody, no corporations, no farmers are going to be able to absorb these. They're operating on a profit margin right now, and it's very competitive. They're trying to stay in business. Maybe they've got a 20% profit margin or something.
Starting point is 00:57:41 You raise taxes like that, they have to pass the cost on to you, one way or the other. And if they don't, they go out of of business they have to maintain their profit margin they have to make a living just like you do the blow comes just weeks after the government imposed an inheritance tax on farms starting at values of only a million pounds and that's not a lot when you start talking about the the you know the land that is there and imagine land in the UK is a big premium. Many small family holdings may need to be sold in the future. They will be sold.
Starting point is 00:58:12 Because the farmers are not cash rich. It's like, oh, a million dollars, no problem. Let me just get it out of my drawer here and pay off the tax. No, they have to liquidate the farm. Although they will find willing buyers who are loaded with subsidy money so they can blanket the countryside with unreliable giant wind turbines and solar panels. I think that's what's going to happen. As I said earlier, Nigel Farage, clarkson said this is um an ethnic cleansing they want this money so they can build housing for uh the migrants that are coming in and they
Starting point is 00:58:53 might do some of that but i think that it is really about taking the farms and blanketing the countryside with wind turbines solar panels wind, wind farms, solar farms. They even tell you. Why do you think they called them farms? So the government's power to tax is the power to destroy. Nothing has changed. If they want to destroy the farms, they will tax the farms. If they want to destroy the farmers and their way of life,
Starting point is 00:59:21 they will tax them out of existence. And that's what the Labor Party is doing. The world is rapidly moving towards some restoration of sanity and a realization that it's impossible to live in any degree of comfort and security without hydrocarbons. Unfortunately, Britain finds itself under the control of one of the most extreme gangs of net zero fanatics on the planet. Keir Starmer, complete with his sidekick, the unhinged Millivolt.
Starting point is 00:59:48 I have no idea. This is the first time I've seen this name in print. This person, whoever they are, male or female, I don't know. Their name is actually Millie with a capital V, Volt. Millivolt. This sounds like
Starting point is 01:00:02 some kind of a cartoon minion. Starmer and Millivolt this sounds like it sounds like some kind of a cartoon minion starmer and millivolt his sidekick the unhinged millivolt the only world leader from a major economy to turn up at cop 29 in azerbaijan the rupture of the right in the last general election, caused by past leaders such as Boris Johnson embracing or accepting extreme net zero open borders, virulent woke policies, led to this new labor government. In other words, he wasn't offering them an option. He was going to go do the same stuff when it comes to net zero and borders. He's doing the same thing that the Labour Party was going to do. At the Daily Skeptic, we frequently make the point that if you want to understand what
Starting point is 01:00:55 the extremists are planning, look at what they write. UK Fires is a group of green academic activists. It's funded with a five million pound grant from the previous conservative government. And these people are extreme radicals. They said it takes an absolute view of net zero. It's a fanatic. And that table that you see right there, scroll up and show that table. The table shows what it means by 2050 there will be no hydrocarbons in use they say and look at that going down that line there they have different activities and you see as you got flying and shipping it shows what is happening in 2020 and they show that gradually tapering down. It gets to the 2030 to the 2040 timeframe.
Starting point is 01:01:48 It scrolls in, and let me see the date up there at the top. No, scroll. Yeah, there we go. By 2050, absolute zero. And so you see this scrolling down, scrolling down, and then when they get to zero, they put a big red circle there with a line through it. So there will be no flying. There will be no shipping.
Starting point is 01:02:08 And then when you look at some of the other things that they have there, heating, well, they're going to cut heating by 40% of current use. Of current use. Energy for cooking, transporting food will be reduced by 60%. And you're not going to have building materials. Any construction, new construction is going to be severely restricted and mostly not allowed. And so you can see it is a strangulation. And when you put it out in a chart like this, you can see how they're trying to strangle us.
Starting point is 01:02:46 These people operate like a boa constrictor, you know. Every time you exhale, the boa constrictor tightens up and then holds it, ratchets that up. And that's what these people are doing. They continue to ratchet this up. The war on food and on farmers fits nicely into this planned scenario. Widespread use of nitrogen fertilizers has led to soaring crop yields. This has also been helped by recent 14% increase in plant growth caused by higher levels of carbon dioxide. Yes, carbon dioxide has gone up.
Starting point is 01:03:15 It is still minuscule. It is still 0.04% of the atmosphere, and only 3% of that is man-made. But carbon dioxide has increased what has not increased is the temperature according to the models that were put out by michael mann and others that were pushed by al gore in his turn of the century uh lie an inconvenient truth a very convenient lie for them but it was supposed to track you know the temperature was supposed to track with co2 it's supposed to be driven by CO2, and yet it hasn't. And so it's gone up at a much higher rate than temperature. Temperature has not really gone up. We had a little bit warmer year
Starting point is 01:03:58 last year. I think they said it was like, what was it yesterday? 0.29 degrees. It's like, come on, you can't even really accurately measure that and you don't have the basis to compare that to nevertheless we have seen an increase in plant growth because of an increase in co2 and that's a good thing so with a fertilizer an increase in co2 we're getting better yields i said but we got instead a generation of maniacs who want to back push back on their use and to risk mass death and starvation on a global scale that's the purpose of all of this stuff it was always the purpose of this stuff the entire environmental movement was always set up to kill people to ban cars of course you want to own part of the company that makes your favorite burger?

And they just used the climate as an excuse. Add to this the virtue signaling about rewilding, a plan to further curtail food production.
Starting point is 01:05:20 Just take it back to the wild. And then eat bugs. It's difficult to see how these people will feed the world, let alone half of it. One of the original founders of Greenpeace, Dr. Patrick Moore, is in little doubt about what will happen. He said, if we ban fossil fuels, agricultural production would collapse.
Starting point is 01:05:38 People will begin to starve, and half of the population will die in a very short period of time. That's what they intend to do. Go back and look at Deagle or any of these other things. They're trying to strangle the population. If they can do it with a pandemic, if they can do it with war, if they can gradually strangle us, that's what they want to do. Now they've got a new fear out there, not just CO2, but nitrous oxide, they say.
Starting point is 01:06:04 They said, well, there's very little of it in the atmosphere, and the amounts have varied greatly over time, but a group of four scientists recently noted that nitrous oxide is growing at only 0.00085 parts per million per year, it might contribute almost an unmeasurable 0.064 degrees centigrade of warming over 100 years. These kind of projections, folks, are absolutely meaningless. They ought to be laughed off the stage. These climate, quote unquote, scientists and their models are 21st century court jesters for this depopulation agenda by these politicians. Thus, rather, the death cultists plan for mass starvation and population extinction, a process that unfortunately is alive and kicking in the UK.
Starting point is 01:07:04 It is. So Nigel Farage comes out and he says, well, this labor government is trying to take the farmers off the land. No question about that. No question. Question is, what are they going to do with it? He says, we're going to take the land for migrant housing. But again, I said, I think that it is that the objective is to turn it over for solar
Starting point is 01:07:24 and wind and to pay the politically connected people exorbitant amounts of money to do that. It's a green grift. It's a green washing grift. But the important thing is to stop it, regardless of what their next stage is. We know ultimately they want to kill us and starve us. They want no food if we don't have farms so they want to eliminate farms to starve us we know that's the case you just need to focus on that and we can speculate about what they're going to do after they get the land but we know that they
Starting point is 01:07:57 don't want farms and we know that they don't want food so just leave it at that but he pulls it in with a migrant housing i I think it's good. Reform wants to stop it. They're the only ones who want to stop it. So I'm not criticizing him. I'm just saying, you know, that is, we know these other things. And they're bad enough. Isn't it bad enough that they want to starve us?
Starting point is 01:08:17 Yeah, but you're bringing in those migrants, too. Just focus on that. Now, Jeremy Clarkson is right there with him. Jeremy Clarkson is saying the same thing he's very angry about this inheritance thing and um and he also brings it into immigration uh he has become as um they point out in the uk he's become culturally significant in british politics uh particularly with his show Clarkson's Farm. It's gained immense popularity, made him a household name. His popularity is attributed to his ability to connect with the public, signaling that
Starting point is 01:08:53 he is, quote, with us and not with them, unquote, unlike other celebrities who are seen as elitist. You know, maybe Jeremy Clarkson, who top gear of only time maybe he can save the farms next thing you can do is save the cars and bring the cars back uh from uh death row but um yeah he he set up clarkson's farms on amazon i've never seen it probably many of you have seen it i haven't seen it and then he's gotten a pub. And he's all about local, right? He's about the local farmer. He's about the local pub. He's nationalistic.
Starting point is 01:09:32 Let's do things for Britain. He's not focused on some global agenda or some other country that has bought his government. They're focused on local things, local farmers, local pubs. And in his program program he shows how difficult it is he's very rich you know multi-multi-millionaire from his years on top gear and everything so he can take a hit financially but he's looking at this stuff and it's like wow how do these other people survive and he's showing the plight of the farmer to everybody and it's a great thing despite attempts to cancel him he remains untouchable
Starting point is 01:10:05 due to his massive popularity with his comments on various issues including politics have generated significant attention he's been vocal in his criticism of the labor government particularly with regard to farming which has led to speculation about the potential involvement in politics there is a glowing growing sentiment that he should run for office or get involved in politics with some people even suggesting that he could become a powerful force in british politics he's had an ongoing war with um pierce morgan i think he punched pierce morgan once but i remember they were both of them were flying on the concord and back in the days when uh that was still flying the supersonic transport um
Starting point is 01:10:45 very expensive ticket and uh he dumped a drink on top of pierce morgan on the concord i mean so uh there's that you know he's not uh pierce morgan is probably the face of elitism if ever there was one um he's not seen as a typical celebrity rather someone with whom the public has a relationship a media personality who has an intimacy or a friendship with his audience. Jeremy Clarkson should get involved in politics properly, and he's going to go on this protest with farmers in the next week or so, and this has a potential to become a political earthquake in this country, said some person who's done a YouTube video, Dr. Parvini.
Starting point is 01:11:27 He also does magic tricks i think i don't know who this guy is uh clarkson has expressed strong views on the government's plan to extend the inheritance tax threshold he believes it will lead to wealthy people buying up farmland and pushing out farmers that That's a given. That's a given. With Clarkson describing this as an ethnic cleansing of the countryside. He said it's part of a sinister plan to ethnically cleanse the countryside to make way for immigrant towns on farmland. And again, it's to starve us that's good enough uh but um and i think you know making that argument um it helps clarkson and farage to make that argument because there's a lot of resentment about what is being done with the migrants and right and justfully so i think uh but it also allows the uh the left to demagogue and try to portray them as racist,
Starting point is 01:12:26 which is what they all will do anyway. Clarkson believes that this would, of course, favor wealthy people who are seeking a tax break. And there's going to be a lot of wealthy people who get a subsidy from the government to put out solar and wind farms and will also get a tax break for doing so. Anyway, many people, especially on the left, will scoff at the idea that Clarkson could topple our political elite,
Starting point is 01:12:48 but as James Kanagasuriam, the polling expert who coined the term red wall, he says it's fair to say that he has a reasonable handle on what ordinary voters think. His latest pronouncement, therefore therefore should be taken seriously because he says we could soon have our own donald trump in the uk in the form of jeremy clarkson that's exactly the case right uh again the wilbur ross working for rothschild uh when they went because of trump's bankruptcy pending bankruptcy with his casinos,
Starting point is 01:13:26 saw how popular it was and said, we could use this. Well, you know, Jeremy Clarkson at this point I don't think is being run by anybody. I think he does his own thing. But it's going to be pretty interesting if he joins the farmers in protesting. It could be very, very positive. I hope that he does. Well, let's take a look at what RFK Jr. said about pork farms. And again, I don't support RFK Jr., but I support what he says on a lot of different issues. We just take issues one by one. I don't support anybody, frankly. We take everybody on an issue-by-issue basis.
Starting point is 01:14:02 And when they say and do the right thing, I support them. And when they say and do the right thing, I support them. And when they say and do the wrong thing, I criticize them. And I don't have any loyalty for or against any of these people. I just talk about what they do. But I think in this particular analysis, when he talks about what happened with the Chinese and the pork business and Smithfield and North Carolina, I know about that. And he is spot on in terms of the problem. Hey, everybody. Here I am in Sherwood, Connecticut on Sherwood Island. There's a little woodchuck hole.
Starting point is 01:14:39 Shirley Troubadour asked a question about why Gates and China are being allowed to buy up all the farmland in our country. And I'm going to tell you something that I had an experience with. I spent many years, about 20 years, suing the factory. Want to own part of the company that makes your favorite burger? Now you can.

Ready for you. Two farms, the big hog farms and the big chicken producers like Tyson and Bo Pilgrim and Frank Perdue. But Smithfield Foods was the biggest pork producer.
Starting point is 01:15:25 And Smithfield came into the state of North Carolina. They built a slaughterhouse that could process 30,000 pigs a day. And then they had a partner named Wendell Murphy, who was in the state senate, and he passed 28 laws in the North Carolina state Senate making it illegal to sue a factory farm. He left and went into partnership with Smithfield, created a way to raise pigs. Instead of raising them on farms, to raise them in warehouses called Murphy 1100s.
Starting point is 01:15:59 And they dropped the price of pork from 60 cents a pound to 2 cents a pound. It put out of business all 28,000 independent hog farmers in the state of North Carolina. And it replaced them with 2,200 factories, all of them either owned by Smithfield or contracted to Smithfield. The only farmers who could stay in business were farmers who signed that contract with Smithfield to mortgage their homes, to put those big hog sheds, the Murphy 1100s, on their property. And then they lose all control. They become serfs on their own land.
Starting point is 01:16:40 Smithfield dictates all their farming practices. It gives them the food. It delivers the piglets, picks up the grown animals, and brings them to slaughter. They put out of business 28,000 farmers. And they control now 80% of the hog production in North Carolina. Because they dropped the price in North carolina iowa had to adopt the same system had to cave in to smithfield they ended up taking control of 80 percent of the hog production in our country then they sold themselves to china so now China owns all that hog production in America and it controls our landscapes.
Starting point is 01:17:26 And that's the end of Thomas Jefferson's vision of an American democracy rooted in tens of thousands of independent freeholds, each one owned by family farmers, each with a stake in our system of government. And that's why all of this industrial agriculture not only gives us upstandard food, but they're also taking control of our landscapes, and that is a huge threat to American democracy. I hope you guys... He's absolutely correct about that. The question is, how do we save our bacon?
Starting point is 01:18:00 And this is just one industry. The same pattern can be repeated over and over again and it also i think highlights the importance of being involved at the state level how did this happen well you had a legislator and other many got other legislators on board in North Carolina who sold out to that company. And eventually the company uses this new waivers of existing rules to get a monopoly, to get a monopoly nationally, and then they sell out to China. So if you know what is happening in local news, that's really how we stop this. They think globally, but they act locally. And one of the reasons that things like this can happen is because everybody is thoroughly
Starting point is 01:18:55 obsessed with presidential politics. Well, before we leave this, just one last thing you know cop 29 going on in azerbaijan baku azerbaijan and the president of azerbaijan called them out to their face because they use a lot they have they produce a lot of oil and natural gas and that's basically their economy and so as they're all they're talking about how they can transition to sustainable energy sources, and as I pointed out earlier, the only person who showed up from any of the Western countries was Keir Starmer and his weirdly named minion. the host country president declared that oil and gas are, quote, a gift from God. And he derided Western media for perpetrating the idea that those resources are bad. He accused Western fake media, he said, call them fake media, especially in the U.S. And he said environmental organizations are running a campaign against oil and gas.
Starting point is 01:20:03 He noticed that, did he? Yeah. You know, we, again, we in the United States are at the center of this global governance. Quote me that I said that this is a gift of God and I want to repeat it today. Here at this audience, he said to them. See, the problem is that the globalists want to be free of both oil and God. They don't want to have anything. And they think that they're going to be God.
Starting point is 01:20:36 UN Chief Guterres is still not giving up, though. At COP 29, he said, the sound you hear is a ticking clock. We are in the final countdown to limit global temperature rise to one and a half degrees Celsius and time is not on our side. That's right. Time is not on your side. We're onto your scam. The tick tock that you hear is the
Starting point is 01:20:57 time limit on your lies that are coming due. Mullitan Malankovic, thank you very much for your reminder. Please share and like the stream. DK needs to be on the editor's picks. Thank you very much. I appreciate that. Yeah, that would help us a great deal.
Starting point is 01:21:14 And it just takes a little bit of time. It doesn't cost any money. We really do need that and appreciate that. And thank you for reminding us. Anonymous, thank you for the tip. It writes, the global agenda is setting up a scenario in Revelation 6, and I heard a voice from among the four living beings say,
Starting point is 01:21:32 a loaf of wheat bread or three loaves of barley will cost a day's pay. Yeah, that's right. That's right. They make food expensive. They've got us. And, again, you know, it's not just when you talk about energy. That's how they come at us with that. Energy is not just about the quality of your life.
Starting point is 01:21:56 It's about the quantity of your life as well. If you have cheap, abundant energy, life expectancy goes up. In places where they don't have cheap, abundant energy, life expectancy goes up. In places where they don't have cheap abundant energy, life expectancy goes down. We have abundant energy. All of the restrictions are synthetic and political. They are forced upon us. There's no reason for any of this except for the politicians that are in place. It's the politicians in place and the politicians that are in place it's the politicians in place and the games that are being played by these corporations and politicians that are artificially causing all of these issues it's way beyond um well we know look we've got these super efficient
Starting point is 01:22:39 ways of generating energy you know well you hear all these stories all the time about you know the inventions getting bought up and disappearing and all the rest of this stuff so they can keep us on oil and gas it's much worse than that much worse than that now uh it is open and there's no question about it it's not something that's hidden it's not about speculation or conspiracy there it's an open conspiracy the open conspiracy is we got to take everything from you and you're going to applaud this because otherwise the temperature is going to go up and we're all going to die. And how have they been able to do that openly and in our face? By propagandizing all of our children in school. That's what this is ultimately about.
Starting point is 01:23:20 And N.B. Shea, thank you so much for the tip. I appreciate that. We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. Thank you. you're listening to The David Knight Show. I can, Handy sent this to us just as we were talking about this and talking about medical imposition of these vaccine mandates. He sent this. This is Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield. And they end this, and I just got this.
Starting point is 01:25:24 I haven't had a chance to look at it. They had they wanted you know we want to have we'll give you bonuses if your practice meets these thresholds so this was all about giving this to to vaccine providers and i guess this is the individual doctors that are there. The results will be calculated in two time periods, September the 1st, 2021, initial incentive payment, and then December 31st, 2021, final incentive payment. If your practice meets the below thresholds for vaccination with at least one dose by September 1st, you'll receive the initial incentive payment based on the following rates.
Starting point is 01:26:09 If you get 30% of the Anthem members, Blue Cross Blue Shield vaccinated, you get a $20 bonus per vaccinated member. If you get up to 40%, they take it up to $45 bonus per vaccinated member. 50%, you get $70. 60%, you get a $100 bonus per vaccinated member. 50%. You get $70. 60%. You get $100 bonus per vaccinated member. 75%. You get $125 bonus per vaccinated member. See how they use this as a bribe? And do you see that your pediatricians who are part of this
Starting point is 01:26:40 will sell your soul and your body in order to get this stuff. It's disgusting to see what the medical profession is. And I tell you what, it's to the point where I refuse to even go to the doctors. We just canceled our appointment this last week. Not even going for anything. Not for anything.
Starting point is 01:27:01 The final incentive payment will be calculated, and it gets even bigger. You get a second one. Oh, well, you get 30% of the people. They're not messing around. You know, when you got 30% of the people in the first jab, you get a $20 bonus. When you get to the second phase, they really up it. 30% of them, you get a $100 bonus.
Starting point is 01:27:20 40%, you get a $150 bonus. 50%, you get a $175 bonus. And this is per vaccinated person that you do 60 of them a 200 bonus 75 of them a 250 bonus per person folks where's all this money coming from it's coming from the federal government they're laundering it through these private corporations you know why do they want you vaccinated so badly that they're laundering it through these private corporations you know why do they want you vaccinated so badly that they're willing to pay these doctors 250 dollars per vaccine remember if you get somebody that's done twice think about this first round they would
Starting point is 01:27:58 have gotten uh up to 100 if they got enough of them, $125 per vaccinated member. Second one, $250. So, I mean, they could make, if they really push this stuff, they could make $375 per person that they vaccinate twice. How much will your physician, you know, how much money do they have to give your physician to sell you out to attempt to kill you murder you they know anybody that looks at this stuff knows it's not tested and it's not safe this is completely radically different it's genetic it's got nanotech in it it's's never been tested. Nobody's ever done anything like this.
Starting point is 01:28:46 How dare them do something like this? It's like that judge in that divorce trial. He says, okay, you two have agreed that you're not going to vaccinate your kids. I think that's child abuse. So you got a divorce. You want custody of the kids. Whichever one of you says you'll vaccinate your kids and get them caught up, I'll award custody right now. She says, I'll do it. They take the kids in. They got three of them. The oldest has got some known issues or whatever. So the pediatrician splits up
Starting point is 01:29:17 these vaccines. It was 18 vaccines to get them caught up and splits it up into a couple of days. But for the two boys, she gives them 18 shots at once. Now, if that isn't medical malpractice, I don't know what is. This poor father is now stuck. Both of the boys go immediately into intensive care, and they're there for several days. The youngest comes out with such severe autism. He was six years old. He was perfectly normal. youngest comes out with such severe autism. He was six years old. He was perfectly normal.
Starting point is 01:29:48 He comes out with such severe autism that he's absolutely not functional. He's just in a vegetative state. And he can't even use the bathroom. The father now has to change his diaper every day. That poor father needs to sue the pants off of that doctor for doing something like that. She should know. She should know. Well, let's talk a little bit about tech. New York City is attempting to scan the subway for weapons with AI.
Starting point is 01:30:19 We talked about this a few months ago it failed miserably as ai flooded the system with false positives and detected no actual guns well it sounds like tsa back up the system make everybody wait in line always detect nothing at all new york city has been forced to reveal that his ai-powered gun scanning pilot for sprawling subway systems was a total bust. CBS reports that experts who long opposed this, the company's called Evolve, their startup AI subway scanning tech, and it was championed by Mayor Eric Adams. The critics have now been vindicated that the plot has been shelved. Underwhelming results.
Starting point is 01:31:06 It turns out the subway scanners had recovered exactly zero guns and 12 knives. But it also turned up 118 false positives. Again, maybe it's better than the TSA. How many nail clippers did it find? That's what I want to know. That's 118 additional New Yorkers who were subjected to additional stop and search who had their privacy invaded for no reason. It's a legal aid society. The fact that the New York Police Department notes that 12 knives but no arrests leads me to believe that these were completely legal knives evolves because you know otherwise um you know you know
Starting point is 01:31:45 well you've got a you got a 18 inch long switchblade here but i'm just gonna let you go today because i you know just with a warning maybe they would do that i don't know evolves scanners have proven so faulty that they've been proffered false positives on multiple occasions when a cbs reporter walked through them in 2022 then again earlier this year city hall though is still spinning it is a good thing by claiming that the tech was a crime deterrent you see they will never admit to a mistake that's the key thing you need to understand about politicians they'll always use money to control you they are totally unaccountable and no matter how bad whatever it is that they did, they will never admit a mistake. That's why we know that Trump is not going to admit anything negative at all about these vaccines.
Starting point is 01:32:34 And he will not. These politicians will not put any restrictions on them. If they're going to be banned or restricted, it's going to be at the local level, which is where we've already seen a couple of these things done. During the trial program, said a New York Police Department spokesperson, there were no shootings at any subway stations where the evolved technology was deployed. Well, again, like Thomas Sowell says, compared to what? Were there shootings at the places where it was not deployed? And you want to prove that? Can you prove any of this stuff?
Starting point is 01:33:09 Other likely explanations for the stats, as the New York Times found in 2022, subway violence is actually quite rare, despite the fact that some pundits would have you believe with only one violent act for every one million rides. That sounds like Fauci. it's rare right you know how many millions of people ride that thing uh that's the the issue the program was only deployed in 20 of new york's 472 subway stations for a single month and yet produced all those false positives the creator of linux is trashing all the hype about AI.
Starting point is 01:33:47 He says, my approach to AI right now is that I will basically ignore it. This is Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux, and a chief spokesman for it. He says, the tech is 90% marketing and 10% reality. Ouch, he says. He says, I think AI is really interesting, and I think it's going to change the world. And at the same time, I hate the hype cycle so much that I don't want to go there.
Starting point is 01:34:21 Well, you know, it was the hype cycle that caused the dot-com bust. And I think it's going to be the hype cycle that causes this next bust with AI. And we've got a lot of things that are being hyped right now. Everybody is just hyped up about cyber cryptocurrencies, and they're hyped up about AI. We'll see how that plays out in the long term. We're going to be talking to Tony Arteman in just a couple of minutes. I want to get his take on what's going on in the markets with gold and with Bitcoin. So my approach to AI right now is I will basically ignore it, he says, because I think the whole tech industry around AI is in a very bad situation. It is 90% marketing and it is 10% reality. He says most of the data centers,
Starting point is 01:35:08 or these data centers in the tech industry are running on Linux. According to Torvalds, the best may be yet to come for AI with the next few years being a crucial litmus test. He said in five years, things will change. And at that point, we'll see what of the AI is getting used every day for real workloads instead of something like chat gbt he said the current crop of large language models like open ais which he says with or something between a um he says as he's got something between a smirk and a grimace on his
Starting point is 01:35:39 face before rubbing his forehead he says it, it makes great, you know, like demonstrations. It's obviously being used in many, many areas, but I really hate this hype cycle. AI advocates should consider themselves lucky that he went easy on them. For all the billions of dollars being invested in technology, which is hollowing out other industries under the premise that it's already reliable and transformative, a clear path to making AI profitable hasn't opened up yet. Everything from chatbots to integrated forms like Google searches AI overviews still suffer from hallucinations. Why not?
Starting point is 01:36:22 In our drugged out society, why wouldn't we turn everything over to machines that are having hallucinations like they're on mushrooms it's hard to deny however good ai may be that it is falling short of its extremely pervasive and annoying hype and that's a another tech publication that is there and at the same time all that's happening, we see the hype that coding is dead. More than a quarter of new code at Google was written by AI. And I think that might explain some of the problems that we're having with reliability with Google products as well. If it's doing the coding,
Starting point is 01:37:02 I think we can understand what's happening. Let's see. Dustin Helm says, Harrison Smith just posted on x that info wars is down good riddance well i feel sorry for some of the people that are still there like harrison smith and and others i hope that they can find something else uh you know it's um alex has been boasting and i've said from the very beginning he's not going anywhere alex will continue on with an individual podcast or something like that. I mean, even Chris Wallace, when he got fired, I guess he got fired. I don't know if he fired or quit. Even Chris Wallace is going to start a podcast.
Starting point is 01:37:34 So Alex will be fine with his new pals of Tucker Carlson and Elon Musk. The rest of the people that are there, however, at InfoWars, I'm concerned for them. And from what I've been able to tell, most of them have not really pushed to do anything else. So Alex was boasting that he's already got another studio set up, and they won't know until tomorrow. From what everybody was saying, they had the auction yesterday, but the results of the auction are not going to be known until Fridayiday they were saying so i don't know if anything has changed on that um i'll just say this real quickly is tony ready oh we don't have tony yet okay so we're still trying to get tony let me just say this i've said this for a long time and i said it when the
Starting point is 01:38:20 lawsuit was going i said the problem is that that what Alex, this judgment from Sandy Hook people, first of all, it's excessive, $1.5 billion. Whatever damage was caused to them is not worth that. But it's also something that if he should have, I think, fought for free speech. I think it would have been difficult for them to fight for free speech because when you make a false claim about somebody, you have to correct it within a certain period of time. If you do, you're safe.
Starting point is 01:38:56 And so then that would have been what they would have litigated over. But Alex chose not to defend free speech. He chose not to defend his actions. He chose a tactic of delaying and of squirreling away money offshore and other places in the cryptocurrency. I know that. And so he's going to be fine. Don't worry about him. And he didn't do anything to defend and to participate in the legal lawsuit. If somebody files a complaint against you, you have to respond to it, or they went by default. And if you were in a lawsuit, you have to respond and give them the information that they demand as part of discovery. And he didn't give them all the information.
Starting point is 01:39:43 And I knew that he wasn't giving them all the information and i knew that he wasn't giving them all the information because he wanted to hide stuff including money and so the and and all that was proven on the stand as alex jones said oh this is your perry mason moment it was all proven on the stand he got caught red-handed is there on there on tape. And I showed it to people. I said, see, this is what I was telling you. And his lawyer turned over his text messages, and there was a bunch of stuff in there that he claimed that he didn't have. And he got caught red-handed with it. And yet he's still telling people, they found me guilty in advance. No, you didn't comply with it with you didn't fight for free speech that's the issue you didn't fight for free speech and uh so uh and you got caught and red-handed and all that stuff so it is what it is we're going to take a quick break and we got tony now we got tony okay good
Starting point is 01:40:39 uh we're going to take a quick break, folks, and we'll be right back. Thank you. you're listening to the david knight show all right joining us now is tony artaban of wise wolf gold and tony has kindly set up davKnight.Gold to take you to his website and let him know that you're coming through us. And it is a very interesting time for gold. We have seen this stuff skyrocket over a couple of months, hitting all-time highs every other day. Now, the same thing is happening with Bitcoin, and gold is going down. And so I wanted to get Tony's take as to what is happening in the overall market. Thank you for joining us, Tony. Oh, it's great to be here, David.
Starting point is 01:42:09 Yeah, gold hit its all-time high 35 times this year. And now it's pulled back. Let's see what its spot price right now for gold. But we pulled back into 2,571. Luciferian Bankster notes make a troy ounce of the yellow metal. And, again, we talked about this on Halloween you know two weeks ago about election outcomes this is all psychological yes if there was a been I think if there had been a Harris administration gold would probably be at 2800
Starting point is 01:42:36 right now and climbing silver would be probably close to 40 right now and bitcoin would be pulled back into the 55,000 range or so that's my that's what i predicted i agree with you yeah because it was clear that that harrison the democrats are going to go to war with crypto they've been doing that's right yeah yeah and i and i think there's just been status quo uh but this is the unknown and i think the psychological effect of a trump victory and a trump administration um it's funny the the underlying fundamentals, though, that's what you got to remember. All that's still there. The dollarization, the fiscal house that's on fire, the global tensions, all the things that drive the price of gold are all still there, but we have this
Starting point is 01:43:19 temporary low. And if you look at most market analysis right now, they're saying, well, gold's still going to be climbing to $2,800 and $3,000 into next year. That's all still predicted. But we have to get through this little phase that people are in right now. The markets are in a phase. I do think that Bitcoin fundamentally is reflecting true price. I think we're probably getting closer to that. And that really has to do with
Starting point is 01:43:45 the amount of bitcoins that exist a bit of my people so was twenty one million bitcoin well actually there's not there's only sixteen million if you take into account the millions that are lost and will never be recovered or satoshi's wallets i i think that that the bitcoin prices probably not too much of a hype but i think it's getting faster than it would have been under a Harris win.
Starting point is 01:44:05 So we just post election. This is all psychological moving the markets. And I just tell people, this is a time to look at bargains. I mean, you look at the silver price right now, David, it's $30 and 44 cents. And, you know, I bought a lot of silver in the last few weeks and uh it's hurting right now because i got to sell a lot of silver that i bought it's bought you know 33 34 dollars that i'm still holding so we're cutting into a little bit of the my problem that's just the game that you play when you're in the precious metals business but fundamentally the price of silver shouldn't be this cheap and honestly neither should gold all the things that drove the prices prior to the election are still there. So it is a time for bargains.
Starting point is 01:44:48 Yeah. Yeah. Like you said, all the fundamentals that were causing gold to go up, it wasn't going up because of madness of crowds and popular delusions. It was going up because of the fundamental things that were there. And it had been a long-term thing. It was just starting to come up a little bit faster. So it's a rate at which things change. And I think when you talk about Bitcoin, as you pointed out, it's not only just the expectation of what Trump is going to do and people around him like Lutnik, but it's also the fact that it's after, you know, was it six months after they've did their halving thing, you know, where they cut it in half? So there's some things like that that are happening there as well. But I think you're seeing a lot of people looked at gold and said, hey, it's at all these all-time highs.
Starting point is 01:45:33 And it looks like everybody's jumping on the bandwagon for crypto so we can cash out of gold and jump on the crypto market, I think. But I look at it as it's Black Friday early. Yeah, you texted me that. You got the money. That's true. it's Black Friday early. Yeah, you texted me that. You got the money. That's true. It's Black Friday early. And all this is really just fundamentally, it's profit taking. People that held positions in a lot in the paper markets, especially for bullion and contracts,
Starting point is 01:45:58 they liquidated those contracts after the election results to put it back into the market. And a lot of that's flowing into crypto. The outflows are really coming out of the gold etfs the inflows are going into the bitcoin etfs and that's the way it's going to be probably until first quarter of 2025 but i think again whenever when the dust settles the fundamentals will come back we'll still see the bricks nations uh you know advancing their cross-border payment systems. Gold really is the reserve currency of the world now, even though there's still king dollar, but you see de-dollarization happening. And again, that's, I think, really built into the narrative here is to pay attention
Starting point is 01:46:39 to what really is and not what the markets are telling you, because I think this is just temporary. Yeah. When you look at Lutnik, who is the co-chair, you know, it's interesting. The other co-chair of the transition team for Trump is the wife of McMahon, the guy that did the world, the WWE wrestling thing. What's his name? McMahon or McMahon. Yeah. McMahon. Yeah. It's what a joke that is anyway. But I guess during the transition period, that's where's there and he's uh been a big advocate as i'm sure you saw it who was at nashville making the case for there to be for the government to own crypto as reserve and also saying that it should be given the treatment that precious metals get that um you know should be treated as a commodity uh rather than as a security and so
Starting point is 01:47:43 with all that stuff that's there you know that, that is, I think, a lot of what is driving it. Now, you know, as we look ahead, though, and we look at the fundamentals, and you look at Lutnik and what he's been involved in at Cantor Fitzgerald, he was the king of ESG. And he's now, because there was a competition back and forth between Bessner and another guy, I can't remember his name, and the other guy dropped out. And so now Lutnik has put his name in the hat for Treasury Secretary. So we've got a choice between a kind of a Larry Fink ESG guy and Soros' right-hand man.
Starting point is 01:48:24 Those are great choices. ESG guy and Soros is right hand man. Those are great choices. Yeah. What do you think is going to happen to the deficit and all the rest of this stuff in a Trump administration? And that's where the fundamentals are, right? Well, absolutely. And, you know, Larry Fink has been a BlackRock, has been a huge advocate of the Bitcoin ETFs. I mean, really, they started it and has been pushing it behind the scenes.
Starting point is 01:48:45 He's also anti-gold. If you notice, there's comments that have come out over the years, Larry Fink, criticizing developing nations for gold mining and gold activities and things and getting away from the dollar and the traditional financial system. It's interesting.
Starting point is 01:49:00 I think that, again, Bitcoin's being pushed by, and you have to just kind of shrug and take this with the information with what you will, because, again, I was in Nashville, too. I watched that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. talking about, you know, if he was elected president, he would order the Treasury to buy 500 Bitcoin a day until it hit about 18% of the world's Bitcoin reserves. Trump followed and said that he would make bitcoin a strategic reserve asset for the united states that's what the bitcoiners call game theory where around the world other nations start hoarding bitcoin and using it as a strategic reserve asset i do agree with that i think that that's one way that you can do it electronically but um forgetting about precious metals and forgetting about the role that gold has played throughout history i think is really short-sighted um and it may be a head fake
Starting point is 01:49:50 it's a lot along with uh jp morgan chase and what they've done with silver shorting the silver market over the years and they're you know you go dig a little deeper and you find out that jp morgan chase is the largest holder of silver in the world. Why would they short the silver market? Why would they want to make the price go down? What's about accumulation? So, again, this might be just a blind spot, a head fake. You can put a lot of people into Bitcoin. It's easy to accumulate.
Starting point is 01:50:16 It's easy to get. It's electronic. But I don't think that it will supplant gold's role as a reserve currency of the world. I just don't see that. I think, again, history is our guide here. supplant gold's role as a reserve currency of the world i just don't see that i think again history is our guide here there's something there's a role that precious metals have in the story of of humanity and uh i don't think that's going to go away it'll be a part and i think bitcoin if it continues on this trajectory david and it's interesting to watch if it continues on this it
Starting point is 01:50:41 will i have i think a rollout that will i think exceed a lot of expectations of even people that have been in the bitcoin space since 2016 like i have i'm i'm really surprised i i said earlier on previous shows i think you know 100 000 bitcoin was in range by the end of the year i i think we're going to reach that we were at 92 000 and some change yesterday just within striking distance of 100K for Bitcoin. Again, it's just about supply. It's about what's moving into the ETFs and about liquidity. And that will drive price. How long will it last? I don't know. I think a lot of this is just market euphoria based on, again, just based on psychology. It's nothing else. Nothing changed on November 5th
Starting point is 01:51:24 except the expectation that there will be different policies in January. We'll see. I agree. And I think what concerns me, and I talked about this on Monday, is the different policies in terms of the green stuff.
Starting point is 01:51:37 And so we see Musk, who became the world's richest man by exploiting this green nonsense, greenwashing everything. We see Lutnik, who is part of the ESG stuff, and we see that both of them have been very involved, and carbon taxes. And the kind of thing that I see developing with all this, and I see, and of course, they've even talked about incorporating a side, what is it, side chain or something of Bitcoin in order to track some of these things.
Starting point is 01:52:07 I see this as a way for them to essentially usher in a public-private partnership for CBDC. Because if they can start to sell credits, carbon credits, if they can process carbon taxes. And of course, all these guys that are on the financial side with Trump, they're heavily involved in the carbon capture markets, the carbon taxes, and all the rest of the stuff. And this is a way for them to, on the side, as Elon Musk has said, he's looking at X as being something to process half of the world's financial transactions. He said money, whatever that happens to be. Well, that could be carbon credits. It could be anything like that. And so to me, it seems like these guys are coming together. They've got some kind of a tokenized ETF scam on the side here, some kind of derivative thing that I'm very concerned about. And so when I
Starting point is 01:53:07 look at all this, it's not just that it's a bubble thing, because we look at the fundamentals, as you said, nothing has really changed. But the thing that concerns me is the fact that they want to tokenize this stuff. They want to create derivatives. And these guys who are running all of these things that are part of the expectation are people who were kind of piggybacking on the in-your-face prohibitions from the Biden administration, saying you're not going to be allowed to have anything other than electric appliances, electric cars, electric heat, electric air conditioning, all the rest of the stuff. And people say, no, I don't want that. It can't work. So then what they do, they come in and say, we can have anything anything that you want but you have to pay me
Starting point is 01:53:47 an indulgence fee you have to pay me a carbon tax in order to do that and we got the mechanism right here with all of this crypto stuff that's what concerns me did somebody say hegelian dialectic yeah it sounds like that's what's happening isn't it here's we have a thesis we present the antithesis and we have synthesis and that's really what's happening here you know i don't think it's a thesis i think it's feces is what it is even better uh but you're right and and nothing again the technocracy knows no party understand that you're inside the 2030 agenda decade that's right they've been pushing since the opening in this decade. I'll never forget, you know,
Starting point is 01:54:26 I opened up your show at the beginning of this decade and it was, I mean, fireworks right off the bat. Trump had assassinated the General Soleimani, the Iranian general. The hashtag was World War III is right prior to COVID-19. And we have not, the pace has not slowed down since then. All these rollouts. And of course we got the left-right paradigm in this country.
Starting point is 01:54:46 Again, the fundamentals, for all the reasons that you and I talk every Thursday about finances and parallel economies and being outside the system, all of that is still there. It just comes in a different guise. It's coming in a different face, a different form. And it could be public-pri which again fascism is what exactly what that is yep um so i don't trust any of these people i you know david i i'm concerned with those who went out and voted and i said this on my show on halloween two weeks ago you know i said uh the most important thing out of this election if there is a difference it's going to be in foreign policy if trump really means what he says about staying out of these wars, it'll come out of personnel as policy. Well, then he
Starting point is 01:55:28 nominates this Hegseth guy from the Fox News comic. If you look into what he said, and you've played these clips of him talking about Vladimir Putin being so pro-Ukrainian and other things, I mean, echoes of neocons, of kind of a Donald Rumsfeld-ish approach in so many ways. I've listened to a lot of his commentary. I don't agree with him. And it seems to me we're signaling, if I'm looking at this cabinet pick and what's being rolled out, it looks to me like we are preparing for some sort of kinetic conflict. That's my take.
Starting point is 01:56:00 That's right. Waltz as well. Ratcliffe as well. Hegseth. All these guys, you know, big belligerent i mean they sound like lindsey graham when you listen to these people and and i think you know it was already in the cards pretty much that we're going to join israel with a war against iran uh so that certainly has escalated to all this stuff but then the question is you know they've made real belligerent statements about China, all the rest of the stuff, even with Ukraine. There might be some kind of a brokered peace deal, but if not, they're going to go much heavier into the Russian war. And I think
Starting point is 01:56:35 that if you've got a war on the horizon, I think that then argues in favor of gold, historically. Right. And that's why I think a lot of this stuff is just still on sale. Uh, these countries, the BRICS nations, especially that are wanting to get away from the dollar system, not even war, I think is going to stop those cross-border payments and trade systems and being outside of sanctions, you know, nothing really, I mean, you know, Gerald Salente is right when all else fails, they take you to war, but that looks like what is happening. I mean, they're planning it.
Starting point is 01:57:03 I don't think it stops the de-dollarization all the fundamentals are still there um you know they're just setting up a this is a different i get different regime different operation same goals yeah that's right that's right the value of russia's gold reserves hits a historic high uh they're not changing what they're doing based on the election they don't see any change or that they're going to continue down the same path uh hit a historic high in october the share of gold's international reserves for russia went up to 33 percent uh they said the value of gold holdings grew by almost four percent just last month breaking the record that was set in september i think that you're gonna like you said, BRICS, Russia, China, others,
Starting point is 01:57:47 they're going to continue to, the central banks especially, are going to continue to go into gold. And so that type of thing is what we've seen driving this in the past. None of the fundamentals in terms of debt and inflation, in terms of war, none of that has changed. I think the amount of russian gold i think it was at uh 200 200 billion is it like 32 percent of holdings it's like 200 billion is the number that they're holding and you know if you dig a little deeper into the holdings of gold by these
Starting point is 01:58:16 central banks david what you'll find is a great majority of them are still evaluating based on the breton woods agreement of 1944 it It's still $35 an ounce. They have not re-evaluated. I think they're holding, waiting for the Great Reset. That's what they're doing. They're waiting to re-evaluate all of their precious metals, their commodities, their holdings. Another story that you and I have covered before,
Starting point is 01:58:43 and I was speaking with Andy Sheckman from Miles Franklin a couple weeks ago, and I said, I go, what do you think about this story with the Russian government? And it was only covered in a few outlets, but they started putting silver as a reserve asset on their books and accumulating. He said, it's one of the biggest stories of our time. And I thought the same thing. It's really, it's going to change pricing. It's going to change uh pricing it's going to change the way that we look at precious metals and that's the way that's again that's the whole
Starting point is 01:59:09 point of bricks the point of bricks is not in my opinion not to uh create a competing currency against the united states dollar it's to reprice and reevaluate all commodities and then that starts with gold and uh that will reset all of their their currencies you know there's 52 times more currency on earth today than when i was born so in 1979 that's that's how and again we're just inflating our way out of it nothing changes the fundamentals are all still there and we can float for a little while, and you'll see prices go up and down, and they'll be all over the place. But in the long run, gold wins. I think gold wins this game, especially in this decade. There's no escaping it.
Starting point is 01:59:54 There's going to be – they tell you what they're doing. They're doing a great reset. That's what they're signaling. You're inside their – we're five years out from their milestone and their goal of 2030, and all those things that we talk about every week are still there. That's right. You know, I look at it and, you know, when you look at Bitcoin, gold and silver, you know, all of that is a reaction to the creation of fiat currency.
Starting point is 02:00:19 And yet the other thing, and of course, the cycles that are there that, you know, the debt cycles and all the rest of the stuff that they have built up. But what is different for the physical metals is that it gets you out of what I believe is being set up as this technocratic trap. I think it's a net, it's a web, it's all these different things they talk about. And I don't want to be caught up in that. I want to go in the opposite direction from anything that can be used to surveil or to control me. And, of course, Bitcoin is, when you look at what these people are using with it, that's my concern about it. They're still projecting Bitcoin and $150,000 or something like that. I see a projection here from Brian London. Gold price has room to hit 8,000 this bull cycle as the Fed deals with the next crisis. And again, this is the crisis once people realize that everything has not been solved by this election, by putting Trump. That's the naivety of this madness of this crowd. That's the popular delusion, the 3D chess, the three levels of delusion that we've got
Starting point is 02:01:33 with this stuff. That's the popular delusion. OK, it's a whole new world. And everything is solved now because Trump won an election. And as you've been pointing out, nothing at all has changed. Nothing. We've got a couple of comments here. Junk Silver says, yes, I highly recommend Wolfpack.
Starting point is 02:01:48 You get to the end of the year and you realize you've significantly increased your stack with an interesting assortment of metals without even realizing it. And, of course, Wolfpack is the ability to. That's what Tony has set up. It's kind of unique. And you can just determine the dollar amount that you want to buy each month and you um every month you just gradually accumulate it uh paleo armory says i wish i would have never started a 401k if i just did gold and silver i would have never lost a dime
Starting point is 02:02:16 ever and you'd probably have some silver dimes as well that's right some real silver dimes that's that's true i mean if you put it's funny and because uh gold it just is what it is i mean it's uh warren buffett criticized it doesn't do anything it just sits there yes but against fiat currency it keeps and holds its value and even you know if you look at the s&p 500 and other indexes gold's outperformed many of them and and has stayed ahead of the curve ahead of inflation you know and it you get mirrors uh in many ways it mirrors the debt accumulation of the united states and the price fluctuation so gold's just a safe haven gold is money you know gold's not i don't claim it to bears you won't find the word investment anywhere on any of my websites i don't
Starting point is 02:03:00 use that word i don't uh i don't advocate gold or silver as an investment. But gold and silver are money. Fundamentally, they are stores of value. They're stores of energy. And that's going to be more and more. I think, again, the price is going to be really surprising to people over the next five years because I don't think folks really understand the debasement that has gone on. If you study this every day like I do, and you look at just the sheer numbers and the currency creation that's gone on, and of course the debt that you and I talk about,
Starting point is 02:03:32 the trillion dollars that's being accumulated every, what, 60 days now, if you go by the new math of everything that they're doing. And then you look at institutions. This is part of the uh fourth turning but institutions are digging in their heels look at what jerome powell said uh when asked if he would step down if trump asked him to and he said no uh you know it doesn't have to and you know you were so right you know congress uh authorized the fed congress can can defund the Fed, can audit the Fed, can end the Fed, can do what
Starting point is 02:04:07 it likes, because it's not part, they didn't do an amendment to the Constitution. As a matter of fact, I can't believe that nobody really ever challenged that. I mean, if you look at the Constitution of the United States, and only Congress can coin money, and it has to be gold and silver specie, and nobody really ever took that to task because you have this outside international banking cartel known as the Federal Reserve that's not federal and not a reserve. Again, but these are institutions, I think, that are also on the chopping block for reform in this fourth turning.
Starting point is 02:04:38 Know your history. Look at the end of the last fourth turning, what happened in the new financial world order that was set up at Breton Woods in 1944. We're on the cusp of a new financial world order. I don't think that King Dollar will reign supreme for much longer. It won't be tomorrow or five months from now, but inside this decade, we'll see massive change.
Starting point is 02:05:00 And again, we'll look back at some of these prices, and gold and silver will look extremely cheap i promise you that oh yeah yeah as a matter of fact karen pull up the uh the picture for this um the great kentucky hoard two million dollars in civil war era gold coins discovered i saw that i thought you know that's a couple of interesting things from the first of all that was two fourth turnings ago we had the civil war when everything changed. Everything was reset. And what was real money then? You know, was it the greenbacks that Lincoln was putting out there and put on income tax on people at the time?
Starting point is 02:05:35 Was it the Confederate fiat currency, the Confederate money that became famous, you know, as worthless? Or was it gold? That was what they were really looking at and so they found this a stash of civil civil war gold uh now worth two million dollars and these coins that they've got there but you know i think that's an interesting thing to me it speaks of the permanency of the value of gold and it speaks of what people turn to in in troubled times doesn't it? It's just a part of the human story. And the more I read on the history of gold, the history of the monetary system, it's just going to be with us.
Starting point is 02:06:11 I mean, you can get into the cyberspace all that you like. I'm in it too, and I do love Bitcoin, and I think decentralized cryptocurrencies are fantastic, and you should learn how to use them. You should do all the research you can because it's part of our future in my opinion but nothing will ever replace physical gold and silver it'll always be a part of our story and uh it's a way for you to be like you know if you really want peace of mind you know have you know you want to store value to me physical precious metals no
Starting point is 02:06:43 counterparty risk whatsoever that's my first choice. That will always be my first. When I look at, to me, gold is cash. If I've got a one-ounce gold coin, I know that I can liquidate that at any time or I can trade it. But I've got to store value right there, and I've stopped the music. Again, it's a game of musical chairs with fiat currency and who gets left with nothing. And that's eventually the game runs out. And the average lifespan, as I've said many times, of a fiat currency is 26 years. And we've doubled that here in the U.S.
Starting point is 02:07:14 and mainly because we are the reserve currency of the world. And the rest of the world is still using dollars. But after losing the petrodollar David we lost that in June nobody said anything those countries like like Saudi Arabia like China Russia they are starting to use other means to to purchase and crude oil and to denominate them in their own currencies so that's 80% of all the energy transactions in the world go on in dollars. That is declining as well, as well as usage of the dollar. So all that stuff's going to matter here. And it may not matter tomorrow or during this happy days are here again market that we're seeing that I, you know, I kind of shrug and say, well, that's fantastic
Starting point is 02:08:00 for a lot of people. I hope your 401k looks good um but none of that's permanent i think we're just riding a wave of uh euphoria and uh again it's this psychological value that we place on this economy all the things that are that have you know caused our pain over the last five years especially are still there yeah oh it's just it's the sort of thing i know from my past experience i get burned with the dot-com bus and stuff, and I thought I was playing it safe. I thought I was investing in the companies that were selling the switching equipment, but everything went down. And so when I look at what happens with the market, and I know that it's the madness of crowds, and you get swept up in that, and so there's an element of that that's happening.
Starting point is 02:08:41 We've seen an element of that with the AI fad and all the rest of this stuff. And when that goes down, so much of the stock market has been concentrated in the AI hopium and just in a couple of companies that when that goes down, it's going to be really huge. And who knows what the effect of that is going to be. So I'm just at this point in my life, I don't ride roller coasters anymore at the park. And I don't like to ride roller coasters in the market. I just don't have the constitution for it. I can't stand it. So, you know, I'm just looking for something that is safe and consistent, that is tangible, that's real, that's outside of the virtual system that these people are creating.
Starting point is 02:09:22 Because I don't trust the people that are creating these virtual systems at all. So, I mean, that's really where I'm coming from. But, you know, again, whatever people want, we're just trying to kick the tires and see what we see here, and people can listen to us and make their own decisions about where they think things are going. Anything you want to tell us about what's going on at Wise Wolf? Well, we just got, again, we're a lot of challenges in the down market. There's some great deals going on right now,
Starting point is 02:09:49 and we're going to readjust Wolfpack invoices probably a little bit later today just to reflect those price changes. So for good for all of our members, they're going to get a little bit lower pricing, and supply is still the issue. You know, again, I talked to, you should go look at, if anybody's interested in the interview i did with andy sheckman of miles franklin it's up on my podcast channels at the wise wolf golden crypto show we had an interesting conversation and uh towards the end of the show he said hey you know as well as anybody that uh if if there was a an uptick in the in the ordering of physical precious metals that you couldn't deliver. And I said, I know. And like everybody knows it's the little secret folks. If you join Wolfpack,
Starting point is 02:10:29 you go to davidknight.gold and you get into Wolfpack, we have guaranteed delivery of product. And that's, I put my name on it. So I've slowly built up enough to where even we had about a, we got at least a month of, of inventory, but that I can do as a reserve. Um, but that's, I can't guarantee anything else after that. I mean, direct sales will, I mean, if you look at the first quarter of 2020, David, we, after the lockdowns on Friday the 13th of March, after the lockdowns, it was six weeks out to get a silver delivery. People forget that.
Starting point is 02:11:01 You ordered a significant amount of silver, and I was down to just ordering silver dollars and things, that's how tight the market got after the lockdowns in 2020. And then, again, towards the spring and into the summer, it eased up a bit. But we've never really recovered from that point in time. The variety isn't what it used to be. And so I do caution people i mean if you're on the fence about getting into precious metals or just uh accumulating a little bit at a time look at the prices now where they are and uh you know get some something physical in your hand
Starting point is 02:11:37 because i don't know how long it will last where you can continue to get supply and when the prices go down like this, people hold. So there'll be even less supply. It really is. The precious metals business is antithetical a lot to economics. It doesn't always reflect supply and demand. I mean, there's been times when you couldn't buy any physical silver because of runs on physical silver, like the Reddit raiders that did that back in February of 21. And you couldn't get on physical silver, like the, the Reddit raiders that did that back in February of 21. And you couldn't get any physical silver, but the price went down the next day in the,
Starting point is 02:12:11 in the spot price on paper because they sold off 1.5 times the annual supply and paper stock in one day. So they drove the market down. Yeah. So I would just, that's what the paper stuff is forced to manipulate. And you know, that's what concerns me is because these guys who do the securitization the tokenization and all the rest of the stuff i mean these guys the they're the manipulators who brought us the real estate market crash in 2008 they're constantly manipulating everything so it's like yeah just get out of that and try to get something that is real, that is tangible. Because the thing that really killed it for people with real estate was that, yeah, it was physical, but you didn't own it outright.
Starting point is 02:12:50 You had mortgages on it or whatever. And so that was where they got people. They got them underwater on their mortgages and things like that. So that's a key thing, having something that is real there. Jason, thank you for the tip he says uh jason barker uh tony says let people know they can do a one-time wolf pack purchase when they have some extra cash instead of a subscription if they can't afford the monthly oh that's true yeah we make it really easy wolf pack i mean you can get one time uh any of the tiers from 35 the wolf cub all the way up to the highest level you You can get one-time purchases.
Starting point is 02:13:29 And if you join and you have to skip one, you can do that too. We make it really. I've got a great team. We're very quick on changing anything with your subscription. We don't give you a hard time. There's no contracts or anything like that. You get in and out just like I would want to do. If I was you on the outside looking in, I would definitely want to have the freedom to move in and out or purchase whatever I wanted to do if i was um you know in this if i was you on the outside looking in i would definitely want to
Starting point is 02:13:45 have the freedom to move in and out or purchase whatever i wanted to do we may make it that way wolfpack for sure you go to david it's a great thing and it's the kind of stuff i i like dealing with you i trust you and uh you're also innovative and you provide some services that other people don't i really do appreciate that at wolfpack. Appreciate you. Thank you very much. Again, Tony Arterman at Wise Wolf Gold. And you can get there through davidknight.gold. Let's him know that you're coming through us. Thank you so much, Tony. We're living in interesting times, and I think things are going to get real interesting real quick in the next few months.
Starting point is 02:14:20 I think it's going to be really great. That old Chinese curse just continues not to disappoint in this decade, David. Like I said, it started out with a bang. We have been running, I mean, full steam ahead into Agenda 2030. That's what I want to continue to remind people of. And even in these little, you know, again, a lot of times it's a blessing to see these psychological shifts in markets and things. It gives you a pause, gives you a time to think and take in a breath. But we're going to get right back, I think, in 2025, right back to fundamentals.
Starting point is 02:14:53 I have my show next at 11 a.m. Central Time. I'll be on my Twitter at Tony Arterburn and Rockfin and Rumble on the America Unplugged Network. And I think I'm going to just meditating. Yesterday I was driving up from Texas. I'm up in my Branson office today. And I was thinking about a book that Pat Buchanan wrote back in 2011 called Suicide of a Superpower. And the subtitle was Will America Survive to 2025?
Starting point is 02:15:23 And he asked all the big questions you know trade deficits actual deficits currency uh culture and i remember you know being a big fan of buchanan at the time and had read the death of the west is one of the books that changed my life and i was thinking about that book and how spot on he was i'll talk a little bit about that uh in my show here coming up next hour oh yeah yeah uh yeah we're living in some very interesting times that are coming up and you know that's the chinese proverb the other thing too is that uh they're they're you know they build um their their picture um characters they build them out of different concepts right so um their uh their thing for crisis is opportunity and danger.
Starting point is 02:16:08 And that's really kind of where we are right now. We've got opportunity and danger, and it's not going to change. So we're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back. Thank you for joining us. Again, Tony is going to be coming up right after this program, and you can go to DavidKnight.Gold. We'll be right back. In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Welcome back.
Starting point is 02:17:13 Karen just handed this to me. Drudge Report says The Onion buys InfoWars. Well, I guess they're crying at InfoWars. I thought that was a joke. Is this really for real or did the onion say? Because you know there was all this stuff about you know Elon Musk you should buy it and somebody the onion says yeah maybe we should buy it or whatever and then they contacted him and he didn't have any follow-through on that. That's pretty amazing. i didn't think that they were going to have anything uh come out until uh tomorrow well that's interesting the onion buys info wars well okay so that's very interesting um let's let's talk about what's happening in politics
Starting point is 02:17:58 um again um you know alex is going to be fine I don't know about the other people that are there, though. So I'm concerned about many of them. But Alex is fine. He's got a lot of stuff squirreled away. He's got a very wealthy family that squirrels stuff away. He says he's got another studio. Maybe he'll have a job for some of the people that work there. But I think he'll probably do a podcast with Tucker and things like that. So, you know, we'll see what happens with it.
Starting point is 02:18:23 The key is, can you trust what he has to say, right? I don't have any ax to grind with Alex. But, you know, he hired me. I was able to do what I wanted to do until I was not able to do what I wanted to do, right? I got fired for opposing him because I knew he was lying to people. I had people say, well, why did you work for him all those years? It's like, well, he never told me what I could or could not say. And I said, he never paid me to lie. He fired me, though, for telling the truth. And that's the reality. But I don't have any
Starting point is 02:19:03 personal issues with it, but I do want to warn people about that because I saw people being entrapped so he could make money for Stop the Steal. I saw people being lied to so that he could ingratiate himself with the MAGA people and with Donald Trump. I think that's reprehensible. And so I want to warn people just like I warn people about what is happening in the Trump administration. So the Biden administration has declared that the Trump cabinet picks are unqualified. Can you pull up that picture, Karen? This is on today's politics stuff. Look at that.
Starting point is 02:19:39 This is Babylon Bean. So they show pictures of Richard Levine, I guess is what his name is. I call him Dick Devine. Pete Buttigieg. And, of course, Sam Brinton, the cross-dressing luggage thief. But I thought this was really funny from the Babylon Bee. It's like the party responsible for appointing a transportation secretary whose only relevant experience was an apparent love for toy trains.
Starting point is 02:20:08 Well, I think he's also got another love that he is putting out front. That's why I called him Pete Boudigie. He has declared that Trump's cabinet picks are unqualified. as a health minister, a guy who steals women's luggage as a nuclear weapons officer, and a joker costume-wearing lesbian who can't answer questions as press secretary. Well, they felt that Trump's choices didn't have the proper credentials for their jobs. President-elect Trump has beclowned himself with these appointments, said Elizabeth Warren. These are serious roles with real responsibilities. We need the absolute best.
Starting point is 02:20:45 And hey, has anybody seen my luggage? The people responsible for Afghani civilians hanging on to a cargo plane's wheel wells stated that Trump's choice for Secretary of Defense was incompetent. But you know, it was Trump's pick. I think it was Waltz, Michael, who was saying in 2017, not just your children, but your grandchildren are going to be fighting in Afghanistan. This is the guy that Trump is bringing in. And, you know, this is what the American empire wants from you. You're cannon fodder for them.
Starting point is 02:21:21 You're there to fund their wars. You're there to fight their wars. You're there to fight their wars. Rich man's war, poor man's fight. And they wanted to stay in Afghanistan because, you know, among other things, they've got a lot of opium, a lot of lithium, other things like that. But mainly they wanted it because they want perpetual war. The military industrial complex demands it. Their profits demand it. Their profits demand it.
Starting point is 02:21:48 And they demand it from us. The other one they've got, next one, Trump nomination of Matt Gaetz raises eyebrows. That one goes after him because of his plastic surgery. That's quite obvious the trump nomination of congressman matt gates as attorney general has raised eyebrows left many in the political sphere in shock including gates himself who responded to trump's announcement with a stunned look on his face just just leave the face up there it's right i wasn't going to pull it up i said yeah he actually reminds me of kind of max headroom or that other guy that did the robot thing. Oh, good evening.
Starting point is 02:22:30 How are you? As you can see, he said, I am surprised. Well, I don't think anything could wipe this expression off of my face. There's some people in the country who have been getting away with some shady stuff for a long time. And now it's time to pay the piper. That's why, on day one, I'm planning on going after all the members of Congress who gave me a hard time about wanting a new Speaker of the House. At publishing time, reports indicated that the eyebrows raised by Gates' nomination may have gotten stuck there. Well, I'll tell you what he represents.
Starting point is 02:23:05 He represents what we were kind of wondering what Trump was going to do. He represents the fact that Trump is going to go for unrestricted lawfare against people. And I think there's a lot of people who should be gone after. But the question is, as I said, you know, you have so many people, so much political persecution from the Biden administration, obvious. And it's not just Trump. It's the people that Trump put in front of himself, used as human shields, the J6 people who have been rotting in jail, who I think he will largely pardon. I don't know so much about whether he will pardon the pro-lifers. I don't know whether or not this Republican Congress will get rid of the FACE Act and other things like that that are used to shut down people's ability to speak and to protest and to criminalize speech and protest as they did on January the 6th. People need to have consequences for that kind of stuff.
Starting point is 02:24:03 But I think it ought to be done in light of restoring the rule of law. And I'm afraid that the perception and the reality is that it's going to be done to show people they better not mess with Trump or his people. And so I think he's looking for somebody. Matt Gaetz doesn't shy away from conflict as a matter of fact he loves it and of course he went after the speakers uh in in congress and created a lot of enemies there he's not concerned at all about that type of thing and i don't think anybody else would do it to the extent that matt gates will do it and he's going to be very loyal to Trump. As a matter of fact, the one obstacle for him getting in is getting approval. Even if Trump wants to have him as attorney general, he may not get approval. It's kind of interesting.
Starting point is 02:24:55 Chris Minahan at Information Liberation said that he is about the only person out of Trump's cabinet that is not Israel first. He has taken no money from AIPAC. As a matter of fact, he accused AIPAC of setting him up. And that setup that happened, you know, when you look at most of the other picks from Trump, there's two things he's looking for. He's looking for personal loyalty to him, and he's looking for loyalty to Israel. Now, I think that Gates is very loyal to him, so loyal that if he's got any issues with Israel, it doesn't really matter to him. And yet, I think
Starting point is 02:25:40 it will matter to the people who have to approve him in Congress. Few issues in America are more important than ending the partisan weaponization of our justice system, said Trump. I'm going to restore America's badly shattered faith and confidence in the Justice Department. Well, we'll see whether or not it is just the types of things that he does are going to be just a backlash and another kind of weaponization, or if it's going to restore the rule of law. But like I said, I think it's going to be about don't mess with me. I think it's going to be that. Matt Gates says, well, we have to have a full court press against this weaponized government that's been turning on our people.
Starting point is 02:26:20 And if that means abolishing every one of the three-letter agencies from the FBI to the atf i'm ready to get going well let me tell you something if matt gates becomes attorney general and if he abolishes or neutralizes these agencies um i'd vote for him myself um he could run for president anybody that would get rid of this stuff if you really i know that talk is cheap if you really got rid of this stuff, if you really could. I know that talk is cheap. If you really got rid of this stuff, or even if you really just fight against it, that would be huge. So we can hope that that's going to happen. It was interesting to see the reaction from NBC to Matt Gaetz. And they did a couple of reports on it.
Starting point is 02:27:00 This is the second one. First, they talked to a bunch of people in Washington. And then this is the second one. And, oh, they are just beside themselves. We heard the reaction on Capitol Hill to the Gates pick. Laura Jarrett is tracking reaction inside the Justice Department. What's being said there tonight? Lester, the reaction has been swift, and it has been, frankly, scathing. Multiple current and former Justice Department officials telling NBC News tonight this pick is, quote, insane, stunning.
Starting point is 02:27:25 One telling me, quote, he is the least qualified person ever nominated for any position in the Department of Justice. Now, the concern here is twofold. One is the sex trafficking investigation that Garrett detailed there. It was ultimately closed without any charges. But if confirmed, Gates would be the top law enforcement officer of the very same agency that criminally investigated him for years. The other concern expressed by officials is more about how he could use the department's resources to settle scores against the president-elect's perceived political enemies. We have heard Gates take aim at top prosecutors in both New York and Georgia, along with special
Starting point is 02:28:01 counsel Jack Smith. And you're reporting Jack Smith may actually resign before Inauguration Day. He ran out of time. Bottom line there, both the federal cases he's overseeing in Washington and Florida are nowhere close to a trial. They were bogged down in delays and appeals from the very outset. You combine that with the timing, that's just a reality. The Justice Department will not prosecute a sitting president. The only question now, Lester, is whether he can get a publicly released report out before the former president is inaugurated all right laura thank you
Starting point is 02:28:31 well that's kind of interesting because what chris minahan says says that mary garland's department of justice declared to uh declined rather to charge Matt Gaetz in a sex trafficking investigation back in February 2023 after leaked texts revealed that the Israeli government appeared to be implicated in the $25 million extortion plot targeting Gaetz's family. And so that's what he had said at the beginning. And it sounds like a conspiracy theory. Yeah, it seems like it was a conspiracy theory. And isn't it interesting that you hear NBC treating it as if he has been convicted? He was never even indicted, let alone convicted. Joel Greenberg, who worked as a tax collector in Seminole County, Florida, appears to have tried to entrap Gates into having sex with a 17-year-old girl for blackmail purposes.
Starting point is 02:29:26 Unfortunately for Greenberg, the evidence that the DOJ compiled indicated that she had actually turned 18 when she was alleged to have taken a trip with Gates to the Bahamas in 2018. Texts from Jake Novak, media director for the Israeli consulate in New York City, showed that Novak had prior knowledge of Gates' sex trafficking investigation before any news had come out. And he appeared to be involved in a $25 million extortion plot to shake down Gates' father to get the case to go away. That's pretty amazing. That's pretty amazing. That's pretty amazing. And, of course, this is the kind of stuff that you see in politics.
Starting point is 02:30:10 Gates explicitly questioned whether the real hidden hand behind the extortion scheme targeting him and his father was the government of Israel itself. Because, you see, the people who help them are not exposed here. Attorney General Merrick Garland declined to charge Gates with anything, and as I point out, they're treating this in mainstream media as if he had been charged and convicted. Now, Chris Minahan points out the obvious. He said, Gates unquestionably deserves to be treated as entirely innocent until proven guilty.
Starting point is 02:30:47 I suspect that even if Greenberg did get something on him, the Department of Justice wouldn't want to risk it coming out in court that the Israeli government was behind yet another Epstein-style blackmail plot targeting elected leaders. He says though Gates has not been convicted of a crime there is a big judgment issue isn't it right when you go around with a young girl like that and not only that but hanging around with greenberg uh now he doesn't mention um the issue of quote-unquote dating okay uh an 18 year old uh somebody that is just barely legal.
Starting point is 02:31:27 But it's also, he's just saying he exercised bad judgment hanging around with Greenberg. Well, I think dating 18-year-olds or 17-year-olds or whatever also says something about his judgment. I think his plastic surgery says something about his judgment as well. But Gates' nomination, however, will have to be approved by the Senate. And they are going to have a lot of control over this type of thing. Look, a confirmation of any of these people, any of them, requires just a simple majority. But because they have the filibuster rule, they may need to have 60 votes there um also yesterday we
Starting point is 02:32:06 had tulsi gabbard uh tapped as director of national intelligence director of national intelligence is an office that they created once they started you know creating homeland security and things like that started consolidating these things as you as as hillary clinton made it famous we've got something like 17 different intelligence agencies, if you count all the intelligence agencies of the various branches, the military and other things, CIA, NSA, all these are under the Director of National Intelligence. That'd be Tulsi Gabbard. I would imagine that she would be able to get confirmed. I'm not so sure, though, about Pete Hegseth or about Matt Gaetz. I think they may push back against them, especially against Gaetz, because, again, if he is at
Starting point is 02:32:56 odds with Israel, if he has not taken AIPAC money, they are not going to want him in that position, even if Trump wants him there because of his loyalty to trump and his willingness to prosecute this this lawfare and then when you look at pete hegseth as i pointed out he is definitely there to a lot of belligerent warmongering i think he is there to indicate that yes we're going to get into a war with Iran once we get in. All these different people, as I said, not just Hegseth, but also Waltz as well as Radcliffe. They all sound like Lindsey Graham. And so I think that is definitely going to happen.
Starting point is 02:33:40 Whether it's going to happen in other places or not, we'll see if they get in. On the plus side, Hegseth has been very outspoken in terms of pushing back against this DEI agenda that's been foisted on people by the current group of politicians that we call generals and admirals in the military. And so I think that that would be something that would change. Trump had already talked about creating a board of former generals and high-ranking officers that would try to turn around what is happening in the military, what's happening at West Point and all the different academies, take a look at all of that as well as a lot of the rules that are happening there. So the burdening of the military with all this tranny stuff, I think that is something
Starting point is 02:34:36 that would change. I think that is something that Trump would get a lot of support doing that. And it's something that needs to change, quite frankly. I'm just concerned about all the warmongering talk. I think we've got like three little Lindsey Graham juniors coming in there. Just last week, Heg Seth said on a podcast that the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff should be fired, along with any general, admiral, whatever, that was involved in any dei uh woke garbage it's also reportedly called
Starting point is 02:35:08 for the defense department to be renamed the war department yeah that was what it was always called what and i've talked about that in the past the irony of the fact that when the military was set up to actually defend this country they called it the War Department. And now when the military, after World War II and so forth, has now been focused on forever wars everywhere all the time, they call it the Defense Department. And of course, getting involved in wars everywhere is not anything that does anything to defend our country. They're not defending the border. They're putting us at risk by getting us involved in these wars. So, yeah, the War Department, that would be a better name for it,
Starting point is 02:35:51 but it may also indicate that they want to be more active and starting, preemptively starting wars everywhere. He also wanted a 10-year ban on generals working as defense contractors after leaving the military. So with all of that happening, the press is saying, well, does he have enough experience? Well, you know, look at Austin, right, who worked for such a long time for Raytheon in the military industry. He's one of the examples of this. He worked for them for such a long time
Starting point is 02:36:27 that they had to get a special rule passed to be able to bring him back in. Perhaps that rule is why they could bring in Pete Hegseth, who's been gone for a while. Interesting, isn't it? That would pave the way for him. But he still has to get confirmation. But did Austin, did he do anything to help us for peace?
Starting point is 02:36:50 No, not at all. Maybe Austin had too much experience. Maybe he had gone native in the military industrial complex. Maybe he had the wrong kind of experience. Yeah, experience is not necessarily all they're chalking it up to. John Bolton, who was Trump's national security advisor, told the BBC that the post of defense secretary should never be a loyalty appointment. But it always is, isn't it? Isn't it always a loyalty appointment?
Starting point is 02:37:23 He said the question is, will he be a yes man to Donald Trump? Well, the question is, who did Bolton serve? You want to talk about a yes man? Who will Hegseth serve? Sometimes you have moments, Stephen. I happen to believe that we can't kick the can down the road any longer in trying to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear bomb. They used the killing of Soleimani as an excuse to say we're scrapping the Iran deal. We all know they were scrapping it anyway.
Starting point is 02:37:54 So what better time than now to say we're starting the clock. You've got a week. You've got X amount of time before we start taking out your energy production facilities. We take out key infrastructure. We take out your missile sites. We take out key infrastructure. We take out your missile sites. We take out nuclear developments. That is not a popular idea. We take out port capabilities.
Starting point is 02:38:10 Or you know what, take out a Quds headquarters while you're at it if you want. I understand that's not a popular idea. But I understand, I've been hearing that we believe that the Iranians are hiding missiles and weapons in some of these cultural sites, churches or mosques. Of course they do. This is what Islamists do, what they've done in the battlefield against folks like me and my entire generation. Human shields, using mosques, using hospitals, schools.
Starting point is 02:38:38 This is what our enemies do. Now that doesn't mean we go on and target cultural sites. But what it means is we are clear eyed about how our enemies use the rules that we write against us. And if we want to defeat them, this is something having seen it. If we want to defeat them, we have to think smart about how these rules, how we navigate within these rules without playing a game that's rigged to help them so that we can't win if we're going to fight to prevent iran from getting a nuclear bomb this regime then we need to rewrite the rules that are advantageous to us i don't want to hit cultural sites on purpose but if you're using one to harbor your most dangerous weapons then that should be on the target list and the president well isn't that interesting you know we we see that he he criticizes when he talks about ukraine he
Starting point is 02:39:23 criticizes um putin he says Ukraine, he criticizes Putin. He says, you know, they're bombing areas where there's men and there's women and children and there's men who are not in the military. It's like, well, isn't that what people are accusing Israel of doing in Gaza? What are the set of rules? Is there one set of rules depending on which side of the war we're on and another set of rules otherwise? And who sets the rules, Pete? Who sets the ethics? Is this something that is set by the
Starting point is 02:39:52 Secretary of Defense? Do you get to set our ethics here, or do the ethics transcend the politics and the political appointees? That's my key with all of this. You see, a justified war. A justified war has certain rules that come along with it. And you don't get to change them for your political advantage. You don't get to change those rules depending on which side you're on. If a preemptive strike is infamy, and it was, and it remains infamy, and you don't get to change the world saying well now we get to target civilians i don't agree with that but as they talk about the qualifications this is the bbc so they they contrast the qualifications with pete hegseth who
Starting point is 02:40:40 has spent a lot of like what, eight years working at Fox News. They said, well, you know, Leon Panetta, served under former President Obama, was a former CIA director and a White House chief of staff. Robert Gates, who was appointed by George W. Bush and Obama, worked for the CIA for 27 years. Is that supposed to be a qualification or disqualification? When you look at Leon Panetta, I've talked many times about how disgusting his defiance of the Constitution. You want to talk about rules? We have ethical rules.
Starting point is 02:41:16 We have moral rules. We have constitutional rules. We have legal rules. These people in the CIA, people like Leon Panetta, ignored all of those rules. I'll never forget, I had high expectations for Jeff Sessions when he came in because he had confronted Leon Panetta up to a degree, up to a degree. When Leon Panetta was saying, well, we're going to get involved in Syria or whatever, you know, we're going to move troops into that. And Jeff Sessions says, well, you were a congressman because, you know, Leon Panetta was a congressman. Then he became a CIA appointee, well, White House chief of staff, then CIA appointee. And at the time he was talking to him, he was secretary of defense.
Starting point is 02:41:58 And so he said to him, he said, well, you were a congressman. He said, you know how the Constitution works. You're going to tell us if you're going to send troops into Syria, if you're going to put boots on the ground. That was a big issue at the time. And Leon Panetta says, well, we'll consult with our allies at NATO and the UN, and we'll let you know what we decide. And he goes, what? What are you talking about? You know the Constitution. You can't do that.
Starting point is 02:42:24 And he goes, well, Congressman or Senator, we will consult with them, and we'll let you know the constitution you can't do that and he goes well congressman um or senator we will uh consult with him and we'll you know what we decide and and he was you know just sessions was just livid but um he didn't lecture him and any more about it he said well i just can't believe that you're saying that that type of thing but at least he called him out on it but the arrogance of leon panetta and i'd watched him over the years you know where he really got arrogant was after that stint at the cia it's amazing what a cesspool that is so yeah get rid of the cia matt gates if he's going to get rid of i don't think he's going to get rid of the cia or the fbi nothing like that's going to happen, I tell you. And you say things like that,
Starting point is 02:43:05 they will make sure that you don't get your confirmation. That's really what's going to happen, I think. But yeah, you know, when you look at what the BBC considers to be qualifications, I think they are disqualifications. Elizabeth Warren urged her fellow senators not to confirm him. And again, as I said, it only takes a simple majority to confirm, but they can pull in the filibuster on any of these Trump appointments. And if it's a filibuster to stop that filibuster, you've got to have 60 votes. So if it's somebody that's controversial, the Republicans don't have the votes to put them in,
Starting point is 02:43:43 especially now that they have picked uh mitch mcconnell's uh choice soon uh there's not going to be conservatives there that are going to take much of a stand uh so to succeed at cutting government uh musk and rama slimy as our listeners said must take on entitlements this is reason and again reason is taking this whole doge thing seriously they realize that this is this is a joke it's a con it's a pretty obvious con they can't with a you can't have the king of crony capitalism, the guy who became the richest person in history, by exploiting government waste. You're going to set him up as the person who's going to be your efficiency expert. But they said, well, if you really want, looks like more of an unofficial advisory board that will work with the White House Office of OMB. Well, I think, you know, when they talk about
Starting point is 02:44:52 we're going to have the Department of Government Efficiency, I think what Musk has been is the department, a one-man department of government exploitation for his own personal wealth and power. That's how he got to where he is. Anyway, they said it's not like it's some secret knowledge that has to be uncovered about what is happening with government and where the waste is. They said what is lacking is not ideas. It isn't that we don't know where the money is being lost and wasted.
Starting point is 02:45:26 It's just that we don't have the political will to act on it. And that political will really needs to come from Congress. So improper payments made by Medicare and Medicaid, $101 billion of improper payments, and the two entitlements made in 2023, accounted for 40% of all improper payments made across the entire government that year. So $100 billion, if you were to get rid of that, then that's not really going to get you very far. We've got a $35 trillion deficit, and we're adding several trillion a year. You're going to save $100 out of $4,000 or $5,000.
Starting point is 02:46:15 That's not going to make much of a difference. The question is, could Trump actually get rid of the Department of Education? Vox asked that. Trump repeatedly threatened to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education. That's Vox asked that. Trump repeatedly threatened to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education on the basis that the federal education apparatus is indoctrinating young people with inappropriate racial, sexual, and political material. Well, it's absolutely true. And everybody knows that.
Starting point is 02:46:38 And everybody supports that. The question is, why are we funding that? And see, that's the issue. Whether or not the Department of Education comes or goes, as long as the federal government is funding that, as long as taxpayers are funding that with local taxes, that's the issue. Why are we funding institutions that indoctrinate kids with inappropriate racial, sexual, and political material. You know, the government schools are the issue. And rearranging the chairs, rearranging the organizations and the institutions with org charts isn't going to make any difference with that. And if there's money coming out of Washington, somebody's going to be controlling those strings, those purse strings. Closing the department would not be easy for Trump, writes Fox, but it isn't impossible.
Starting point is 02:47:30 And even if the DOE remains open, there are certainly ways that Trump could radically change education in the United States. So I'm going to talk a little bit about what's possible. Very much like all of the ideas that we have about the Federal Reserve, right? Oh, it has to be independent, and it has to be this, and it has to be that, and the president shouldn't have any say-so. And as I pointed out when I talked about it, was it yesterday or the day before, I said, we used to have the Secretary of the Treasury sitting on the board and making the terminations about that.
Starting point is 02:48:02 And when FDR came in, he said, well, you're not going to be allowed to own gold anymore. Turn your gold into me, he said to the Federal Reserve. How independent are they if they've got to turn their gold into him? Well, they're not. And then we look at the fact that the Federal Reserve Act was created by Congress, that Congress could change anything that they wanted to about it. The issue is not that we don't know where the problems are.
Starting point is 02:48:27 Part of the issue is that the Congress doesn't have any will, and the American people have been gaslit to think that the way things are are the way they always have been, or even the way that they should be. So can he actually close the DOE? Well, Professor Emeritus
Starting point is 02:48:44 at School of Public Policy in Maryland said, well, it would take an act of Congress to radically restructure it. And so the question is whether or not there'd be appetite on Hill for abolishing the department, as I mentioned before. In 1980, when they created the Department of Education, they carved it out of what had been for a very long time health, education, and welfare. And they pulled the education part out, and they took the health and welfare and put it under HHS.
Starting point is 02:49:11 Abolishing the department would require 60 votes unless the Republicans abolish the filibuster. Without the filibuster, legislation would need a simple majority to pass, but senators have been hesitant to get rid of it in recent years. And of course, the likelihood that Democrats are going to join in with that is almost non-existent. The push to unwind the department is probably largely symbolic, and it's largely just talk, as it has been for the last 44 years. Much of what Trump and MAGA activists claim the agency is responsible for, like teaching critical race theory and LGBT ideology, isn't actually the purview of the DOE. Things like curriculum and teacher choice are already the domain of state departments of education and local educational boards. And that's what Vox is saying.
Starting point is 02:49:59 And Vox is completely wrong. That's a naive view of how things operate. It's always about the money. MAGA doesn't get this either. It's about the money. That's why they don't understand what happened with the pandemic. But look, if you're going to withhold funds
Starting point is 02:50:16 from Washington because you aren't allowing boys in the girls' bathroom, or if you're going to do what Trump said and say, I'm going to withhold it if you do put them in. The money is being used as an instrument of control regardless of what kind of policy you're putting out there. And as long as the money is coming from Washington, regardless of whether it's coming from the Department of Education
Starting point is 02:50:37 or whether it's being granted and given directly by the president, it's still going to have those types of strings. It's the money, stupid. Just like it's the welfare and the things like that for foreign citizens coming across the border. It's the money that controls all of this. Well, as we talk about the money, Cantor Fitzgerald CEO Howard Lutnick has now, as I mentioned earlier briefly, he's now put his hat in the ring for the Treasury Secretary post. So now we have a choice between a guy who is a pusher of carbon taxes, whose company has always been at the epicenter of ESG, just like BlackRock, except not as big. A guy who I think is coming up with a public-private partnership version of CBDC. Or we can have the guy who was a Soros crony and schemer. These are the two front runners here for the job in the Trump administration for Treasury Secretary.
Starting point is 02:51:42 Of course, you know, in the previous one, we had a Goldman Sachs maker the entire time, Steve Mnuchin, who is now, by the way, working with Lutnik to try to put together this kind of privatized CBDC. Lutnik has become increasingly visible to the crypto community due to his relationship with Tether. We talked about that as well. The stable coin and his appearance at Bitcoin 2024 in Nashville this summer.
Starting point is 02:52:07 Trump is selecting cabinet members for his upcoming administration in 2025. The role of Treasury Secretary is now reportedly contested between Scott Besant and Howard Lutnik. So there you go. The guy who is the co-chair of the transition team has now
Starting point is 02:52:23 put his name in the hat to be one of the people picked. According to Fox Business Reporter, Besant was, quote, all but certain to secure the position as recently as Tuesday. He was up against some guy named John Paulson. However, Paulson bowed out and now Lutnik says, well, I'm going to run against that. He was appointed to co-lead Trump's transition team. As I mentioned earlier before with Linda McMahon, professional wrestling is what this is all about. So much about professional wrestling. You got to have somebody from professional wrestling on the team.
Starting point is 02:53:04 The inclusion of Lutnik is huge for crypto he personally briefed the house republican conference last year on stable coins and is a big crypto bull this is one of the things driving the popular delusion in the madness of crowds right now uh september 2024 lutnick argued that bitcoin should be treated as a commodity and to get the sec off of it and i think that is definitely going to happen with crypto in general he said they have no idea about digital assets or coherent digital asset policy but he does and we're likely to get it good and hard now at the beginning of all of this, I talked about how there was the joke from Babylon Bee about how Matt Gaetz said, yeah, there's a lot of bad actors there in the house,
Starting point is 02:53:57 and I'm going to come after them too. Well, it turns out that now you've got Chip Roy. I largely agree with Chip. He's done a lot of good stuff, and he is, I think, on the right side of trying to reform Congress so that it isn't actually just one person at the top like Mike Johnson or Nancy Pelosi or John Boehner, who is directing everything. He tried to make it more of a, you know, where all the different members have some ability to have an input into it.
Starting point is 02:54:31 And that's what the conservatives have been doing. Now there are particularly, there are house rules being proposed to punish people like Chip Roy, people like Matt Gaetz and others. And these are coming from Republicans. Nick Lolota from New York, a Republican, proposed an amendment that would strip GOP members of committee assignments
Starting point is 02:54:52 if they vote against the party position on procedural floor votes. So you better toe the party line, or we're going to strip you of all committee assignments, and you won't have anything, because there's no power at all outside of the committees that's part of what the problem is in congress and why we wind up with these omnibus bills and all the rest of this stuff another republican from wisconsin uh derrick van orden pushed another punitive measure that would remove members who vote to vacate a house speaker without a party majority oh because that's what these people have done, right?
Starting point is 02:55:25 You've had Marjorie Taylor Greene. You've had Chip Roy and others said move to remove Kevin McCarthy and others like that. Well, Mike Johnson is cut from the same cloth as Nancy Pelosi. He wants to make sure that doesn't happen to him. Now, at the same time, he's got people doing this. He's saying, that's not coming from me. I don't have anything to do with that. Chip Roy said, I represent 750,000 Texans, not my colleagues.
Starting point is 02:56:07 He said, we should be focused on developing, delivering on Trump's agenda, not wasting time with counterproductive efforts, demanding that we hand over our voting cards to the party. He said, that'll never happen with me. And so, as I said, Mike Johnson is saying, well, I've made it clear to members as I've been having discussions with him that I'm not in favor of punitive measures and rules. I don't think we should. We'll have a need for a party discipline. I expect for everybody to be singing from the same sheet of music. I expect your voluntary compliance. I don't have anything to do with these measures that have been introduced on my behalf.
Starting point is 02:56:38 Yeah. You believe that? Any of that? I don't. Well, we're going to take a break but before we do karen put this up some guy corn pop 45 84 uh is a troll and uh he says i'm telling you with 100 certainty that david knight was never fired did you realize that did you realize never fired how about that
Starting point is 02:57:01 and i thought i saw this and i thought yeah that's right i mean in a sense i quit right because i was told i'd be fired if i didn't stop talking about stop the steal if i didn't stop pushing back against that nonsense um but no he says david knight has already had already started his own audience which the people that fund Alex Jones are also funding David Knight. So I told Karen, she put this up, and I said, get rid of him. You know, I don't, look, hey, Corn Pop, whoever you are, you anonymous troll, I don't platform lies. I told Alex to not come on my show in front of my crew. I said, this is a lie, and I don't want you on this show selling that lie. I don't want to have anything to do with it.
Starting point is 02:57:52 I don't want to have anything to do with corn pop either. So bye-bye, pal. And when you come back, we'll ban you again. I am not going to platform lies, certainly not here. I wouldn't do it on my own show at InfoWars. We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back. ¶¶ © BF-WATCH TV 2021 Liberty. It's your move and now the david knight show well welcome back we got just a little bit of time left i want to talk about what's coming up in terms of entertainment i'll just say one last thing here you know i mean you may agree with me you may disagree with me i always like like to hear people, even those that I disagree with. It helps me to understand where I am on an issue. All I can say is I'm going to tell you honestly what I think. I'm not going to tell you that a vaccine is sugar water after I've been telling you for 20 years
Starting point is 03:00:21 that adjuvants are going to cause autism and all other kinds of things. So I'll give you my honest opinion. I'll try to tell the truth. If you disagree with me, fine. But I'm not going to tolerate people like that. They come on deliberately telling lies. We don't tolerate, we'll kick people off for the day if they get into a fight with somebody, but you come on doing that kind of stuff and of course they can create another anonymous uh trolly name and come back on we'll just kick them off if they start doing the same thing again that's the way it's going to operate here i'm not going to platform lies uh but let's talk a little bit about some other kind of lies the kinds that come out of hollywood you got netflix is going to be coming up for christianity and i thought this is really funny when I saw the headline of this.
Starting point is 03:01:06 They're going to release a biblical epic, an origin story for Christianity. They're always doing origin stories for superheroes. This is how Spider-Man gets bitten and becomes Spider-Man. So this is what they're going to do. They're going to do it, call it Mary. Christmas season,
Starting point is 03:01:29 Netflix is going to be bringing a retelling of the nativity story to audiences around the world, offering a fresh perspective, a fresh perspective on an ancient narrative. And so they also say they're going to be reimagining it. I don't know about you, but I'm quite frankly not interested in a fresh perspective reimagining God's word. That's what Christians are looking at. And I understand, or another origin story, I understand that a lot of people like that. I'm not a big fan of Christian fiction. I'm not a fan of Christian fan fiction. I'm not a fan of The Chosen, for example, because they're doing a lot of reimagining there as well. Viewers will see the journey from Mary's viewpoint as she navigates the challenges of an unprecedented destiny. They have Anthony Hopkins
Starting point is 03:02:19 is going to be taking on the role of King Herod. Story needed more than ever in our world, they said. You know, it's needed more than ever in our world, a savior, a redeemer. And that's not the story they're telling here. This is a woman's story. Mary's story is important to me, says the woman who is producing this. We're going to show her as a relatable young woman. And of course, you know, we can all relate to people in the Bible, can't we? You know, we look at what happened in their lives and we can relate to them, but we can relate to them in how they relate to God. Isn't that the point?
Starting point is 03:02:59 I mean, I'm not just looking for, well, you know, it's kind of interesting. These people lived 2,000 or 3,000 or 4,000 or whatever years ago. You know, they had the same kind of struggles we did. Yeah, human nature doesn't change. And so we have the same issues in terms of trying to relate to God that they did. And that's when I look at the Bible, if I'm looking at how somebody is, their story or whatever? Did they rightly or wrongly relate to God? And what were the consequences of both of those types of things?
Starting point is 03:03:33 Instead, what they want is somebody that's relatable, that is, you know, we bring them into the current milieu, whatever that is. We carefully fictionalized the moments between Mary's journey, adding tension, emotion, and pacing. And see, of course, that's what all dramatizations will do. They will all take dramatic license. And that's the big issue. Even if they don't deliberately try to create, as the chosen did, they say, well, we're going to do Judas' backstory. Well, that's exactly what I need, isn't it? You know, I said our culture, Disney, DC films, you know, Batman, everything. We don't even want to talk about the hero.
Starting point is 03:04:16 We made our heroes darker and darker and darker. And now we want to talk about the villain. So they want to talk about Judas, for example. Okay. And then they want to fictionalize moments that are there. See, the problem is that the details are important. The details of the story are important. And I don't want truth fictionalized.
Starting point is 03:04:41 But whenever they make a movie out of something, they're always going to add tension, emotion, and pacing to all of this. And do you ever wonder why God didn't wait until we had pictures and movies and stuff to bring Jesus to earth, right? Why did they do it back then? I mean, you know, if they waited till now, everybody could see Jesus and see what he's like and hear him. Why? You know, I guess God just didn't think about that. Or maybe he did. Maybe that was deliberate.
Starting point is 03:05:13 You know, one of the interesting things about the Bible is that throughout it, you will constantly see that there's not really any focus at all on what people look like. You might have like a general mention of the fact that Saul is virtually tall or that David is ruddy, but in general, it doesn't describe what do we focus on. We focus on their appearance, right? Because people are focused on the outside, but God looks at our heart. And that's not what you're going to see with the films. Films are all going to focus on that.
