As the clock strikes 13, it's Thursday, the 27th of June, year of our Lord, 2024. Well, today we have a lot of Supreme Court cases that I want to talk about,

especially the fact that Amy Coney Barrett is, as we suspected, clueless about the First Amendment. So we're going to talk about what is up with this decision and why there may still be an opportunity to have something done, but it may not be the right thing. You know, the Supreme Court decisions are supposed to be the big victory of Trump, aren't they? And yet Trump couldn't even figure out who was betraying him. And we're going to begin with this.

The Trump CIA chief knew about the letters claiming that there was nothing with Biden in both 2016 and 2020. It was the usual suspects in the CIA that went after Trump. Totally clueless about it. He and the rest of his followers we'll be right back so and of course there's more absurdity about banning cows and cattle and that type of thing coming out of denmark putting a huge tax on each and every animal in the name of saving the planet from global warming you see these people are not content with destroying the fruit of the industrial revolution, good or bad.

And there's good and bad in that. They want to even go back and erase the agrarian society that people have had for millennia. I thought that this was all something that was man-made global warming. Wasn't that about the machines? As my son was saying last night, we're talking about this. It's like, ah, they've switched their narrative now it's not about your car and your washing machine and your air conditioning now it's about animals that we have humans have raised uh forever they have to be eliminated it is unbelievably idiotic but before we get to the climate stuff let's talk about the politics

yes there's going to be a debate tonight and no i will not be covering it i will not be covering it live i i have to see some proof of life in the candidates before i did this before i cover this thing live i have to see some proof of life in the discussion quite frankly i will do an autopsy tomorrow, but I will not be covering this so-called live debate tonight. It is just all it is, is this is like some reality TV show, which I also don't watch. The Real Housewives of fill in the blank. This is the real White House of America. Yeah, that's just as phony.

Just the whole thing is all about gossip and innuendo. As a matter of fact, you know, when you look at this, it reminds me more and more of high school elections for student government. What did they do? Nothing. They never had anything to do. There was no policy that they had any involvement in and yet you had cliques form around these individual people uh fortunately it didn't matter uh who was there but it mattered a great deal to those people take a look at this

from laura loomer talking about what happened in the Virginia primary to Bob Good. Now, Bob Good was the guy who was the head of the Freedom Caucus. And, well, still is, I guess. He's still there. But they came after him. Why did they come after him? He had both the Trump camp and the McCarthy camp came after him. Because he stood up to McCarthy. because he's a real conservative and he endorsed DeSantis because he's a real conservative. And so Trump said, well, we got to get him out. And so both of them worked on getting him out.

And he only lost by something like 300 votes, tens of thousands on each side. So it's a tiny fraction of a percent. I imagine it would go into an automatic recall or recount, but he's going to challenge that. And it was something of an embarrassment for clout for both Trump and McCarthy that combined. Neither of them really had the clout to kind of squeak this out. And it appears that the guy who is going to be there is going to be another Dan Crenshaw, another statist Navy SEAL who is part of the Uniparty. But Laura Loomer had this to say.

What happened to Bob Good last night needed to happen for the sake of restoring fear back into the minds of elected Republicans. Fear of what? Fear of the Constitution? Fear of we the people? No. Fear of Donald Trump. She says Donald Trump is the leader of the Republican Party.

If you try to resist that, you'll be removed and replaced. Traitors will be punished. Laura Loomer is the epitome of the high school personality cliques. Absolutely the epitome. It disgusts me to see what the MAGA people have become. And she is the tip of the spear of disgusting. So is Trump really the leader? Does Trump know what he's doing? Can Trump handle the deep state? Can he handle the CIA? I've said over and over again that it was Gina. Look at Gina Haspel.

Everybody was so excited when Trump said, we got lied into the Iraq war. Well, everybody knew that. He was the first politician really, I guess, to admit it, but everybody knew it, that we were lied into the Iraq war. Well, who did the lying it was gina haspel she saw she gave data it was based on a torture program you get people say anything if you torture them and after people found out that it was based on a torture program they said well we've been had but um she did that and got us into a war. And of course, she covered up the torture program.

John Kiriakou, who was a whistleblower who exposed it, went to jail. The criminal who perpetrated it and who covered it up and who deleted, most importantly, she got rid of the video files. Can you imagine if the video files had gone out? It would have been far more damaging than anything that people got from WikiLeaks. And so she deleted the video files, covered everything up. John Kiriakou, the whistleblower, is the only person to go to jail. Not the people who did the torture, not the people who lied us into the Iraq War. She gets promoted to being the director of the CIA by Trump.

From the very beginning, folks, because Pompeo was a figurehead. She was the deputy director from the very beginning. She was the number two. She was the one who ran it. And then after a year or so, he promoted Pompeo to secretary of state. And Gina Haspel was moved up to the official director. But I said at the time that she was appointed, I knew all that. I also knew that she had been at the London station with all this Russiagate stuff.

Remember all that? The dossier, the Steele dossier, and all the rest of the stuff. How that came out of London. You had the London Langley axis about how they were passing information back and forth. But it was really key what was happening in London. She was the head of the London station. She was right there from the very beginning of all this stuff. And all of the Trump press did not want to talk about that.

Did not want to talk about how clueless it was that Trump would appoint her as the CIA. It's almost like the CIA was in control of the government, right? And so in 2016, they put out a bunch of lies about Trump, kept him busy, kept him preoccupied. They manipulated and managed him in the open, quite frankly. And then we find out now with these hearings, that the Trump CIA chief, that would be Gina Haspel, knew about the infamous letter dismissing the Biden laptop as propaganda before publication.

This is the headline from Fox News. They said the Hatch Act forbids most spy agency employees from engaging in partisan political activities in theory right in theory the constitution would prohibit them from even existing uh and all of what they're doing quite frankly but the conservative press likes to focus on brennan and clapper and hayden and they completely ignore the woman who used torture and lies to get us into the Iraq war. All the rest of this stuff. Pompeo was just a beard. And so was Trump, quite frankly.

Active CIA intelligence contractors colluded with the Biden campaign when releasing a statement dismissing Hunter Biden's infamous laptop as Russian disinformation ahead of the 2020 election. And the then CIA chief was in the loop before the statement's release, according to a joint report released by three House panels. We knew, says Jim Jordan, again, more TV trials.

We knew that the rushed statement from the 51 former intelligence officials was a political maneuver between the biden campaign and the intelligence community so 2016 you had 17

intelligence agencies according to hillary clinton james clapper i think was the one who put out oh yeah yeah it was a 17 yeah and then you had 51 different officials in 2020. They keep running the same plays over and over again because they work on people. So, yeah, we knew that, he said. And so the House Judiciary Committee is looking into it. You know, when I saw that, I'm just so fed up with Jim Jordan and the GOP in general in Congress. They do nothing at all. They preen for the cameras. You know, before Jim Jordan,

you had Trey Gowdy as well. And he's got his contract with Fox News. I wish Jim Jordan would just retire and go to Fox News, give it a break. So he's got the Judiciary Committee.

And it made me think about that quote from Karl Rove. He said, you know, he said it to journalists. He said, you are the reality people. But we create our own reality. And while you are studying it, as you will, judiciously, even in the Judiciary Committee, right?

While you study it, as you will, judiciously, we will act again. At the very beginning of it, he says, you know, you're reality people, but we are an empire now, and we create the reality. And while you're studying it, we're going to create a new reality. And you can study that. He said, we are history's actors. And Jim Jordan is a TV actor actor he doesn't do anything he never acts these people do their stuff and and he's and i'm not just picking on jim jordan he is emblematic of the entire congress republican side, the Democrats are acting. They are taking action.

They are rolling out their agenda. And the Republicans are acting, as in hypocrites, as in the Greek definition of hypocrite or an actor. They're pretending, going through the motions of caring, of resisting. But they never do anything. And so Jim Jordan and the GOP will be left to study what these global empirists like Karl Rove are doing. And again, Karl Rove is a Republican. The report reveals new information detailing how the highest levels of the CIA, up to and including then cia director

gina haspel we're made aware of the public statements of the hunter biden emails by 51 former intelligence officials prior to its official publication and they're like oh you know some of these people are still involved in all this stuff it's like yeah okay it wasn't enough to disqualify gina haspel to lie us into the iraq war i don't really care which candidate she was supporting at which point in time why she was supporting one candidate or another and then you look at real clear politics and there's a very long article not real clear politics real clear investigations they have very long article about this same thing about rigging the 2020 debates but also the 2016 and how the intelligence agency

was there but they place it all at the door of james clapper how silly is that they even say in the article everybody considered james clapper to be the barney fife of the cia you know brennan is the true evil genius you can see it in his eyes when he talks and hayden i mean those those two guys are but clapper is like oh it's just a stooge that they've got out there, even though he was at a CIA at one point. But, um,

the, uh, what's it, I don't know if he's had the CIA or if he was head of, uh, his director of national intelligence. Anyway, uh,

it's ridiculous that they don't even talk about Gina Haspel in this. What's going on with that? I think, you know, who the really powerful people are. They're the ones that they don't talk about Gina Haspel in this. What's going on with that? I think you know who the really powerful people are. They're the ones that they don't talk about, isn't it? You want to know who rules this? It's the ones that they don't talk about. It was former FBI Assistant Director Chris Swecker who said that Clapper was the Barney Fife of the intelligence community.

Are you spying on Americans without a search warrant? Senator? No, sir. Not intentionally, I guess. And then, but we're all going to be saved. We're all going to be saved by Trump. He's such a stable genius. Just take a look at this little campaign thing that he staged.

He had set this up with Byron Donalds to go to a barbershop in a black community and he wasn't going to show up he was just going to phone it in and he phoned it in and listen to what he had to say but since this has happened like uh watch their expressions the best it just beat elvis presley and frank sinatra by a lot by the way beat him by a lot but by the way. Beat them by a lot. But that's the number one mugshot of all time. It's really an amazing thing. Since it happened, the support among the black community and the Hispanic community has skyrocketed. It's been amazing.

Really been amazing. I'm one of you now. Got a mugshot. Just to see. Just to see. the president in one way in one way you say gee isn't that too bad but the truth is it's really a lovely thing when i see that i we have great support now in the black community and in the hispanic community idiot idiot uh first of all i was what elva the mug shots of elvis and sinatra like i don't know

anything about i looked that up and people had put out a picture of elvis holding up like this card that had some numbers on it and everything you know it was not a full phrase and a profile like you typically see with a mug shot uh that was not a mug shot that was him getting out of the army and they were taking an exit picture of something. Uh, Frank Sinatra actually was arrested and actually didn't have a mugshot. Uh, he was charged with seduction and adultery. Trump better be glad that they're not arresting people for that anymore. Uh, I guess, uh, the seduction part is really only of his voters but uh the rest of it he pays for

uh trump sent his black friend byron donalds so that they can call into a black barbershop and tell them how he has the number one mugshot of all time and now he's got something in common with black people says someone on twitter he says it's been a really great thing for him uh one person says what does it even mean to be the number one mugshot of all time the best mugshot not mugshot it's the best another person says look at their body language they're bored they're embarrassed another person ray pride on twitter said trump claims thug life in atlanta barbershop another one says i thought trump was y'all guy in the hood he didn't want to come to the barbershop to chill with black maga yeah couldn't even make it there uh kind of interesting well

new poll shows that a record number of people don't like Trump or Biden had the first debate. 25% of respondents have unfavorable views of both of them. Yeah, they don't want Donald Duck or Goofy. I like that. That's from Wine Press. That's Donald Duck or Goofy. You have the Rutherford Institute. Whitehead there had an interesting piece has been picked up by a lot of different outlets.

Free Thought Project, Zero Hedge, American Dictators. Uncomfortable truths you won't hear from Trump or Biden or from their supporters and their captive partisan media. He says, history has shown us that no matter who assumes the office of president, all of our problems will remain the same. We need to understand they don't care. They don't represent us. They're not even in control of what happens to their lives. As you can see with Trump being batted around back and forth by these different forces.

He can't even defend himself. He doesn't even know who his enemies are and his allies are. Yes, he doesn't do anything except in his own perceived self-interest, but he perceives his self-interest incorrectly because he's such a narcissist. The 2024 elections will not do much to alter our present course to a police state. You know what, Will? What made the difference? All across the country, we had a top-down plan from Fauci and the science

and the money from Washington. What made the difference it was a local place the local officials and they made a big difference from place to place it could be better or it could be worse so he has a few points here um read a couple of them he's got about 15 actually I'm going to read about three or four he said the government's not your friend it doesn't work for we the people number two gradually it is whittling away our freedoms. It has liberated itself from the contractual agreement, the Constitution, you know, for years. It was, I think it was back in the 90s that Russell Means, who was, he ran at the same time, actually in 1986, he ran for Libertarian Party nomination for president at the same time that Ron Paul did.

1988, I'm sorry. And Ron Paul got it. When you're not weighed down by high interest rates, life lightens up.

Give your finances a lift. Russell Means wrote a book and he called it Where White Men Fear to Tread. And he said, the federal government has broken every treaty it has made with the American Indian. He said, white man, the Constitution is the treaty that the federal government made with you,

and they've broken every aspect of it. What are you going to do about it? So that's the question for us, right? He says, Republicans and Democrats act like there's a huge difference. However, they're united in a common goal, which is to maintain the status quo. Maybe it's not so much maintaining the status quo anymore. Maybe it's maintaining the status quo of their position there. I would say that it's about pushing forward the fourth turning.

I would say they are united in a goal of taking our country down. That's what they're really about. I would say they are united in a goal of taking our country down. That's what they're really about. Presidential elections merely serve to maintain the status quo. Just make sure, folks, that you're not dancing to the Hegelian two-step, okay? When they play that tune, don't start tapping your feet, okay? Like an idiot. The U.S. government is spending money it doesn't have on foreign programs it can't afford,

all the while piling up debt that will be put on us and used to take everything away from us. He says, 40 years past, George Orwell envisioned the stomping foot boot of Big Brother. The police state is about to pass off the baton to the surveillance state. Now he says, and now we are at a position where exposing a crime is treated as committing a crime this is i said before about john curiaco and gina aspel she becomes she gets promoted by trump to the head of the cia he goes to prison and even after he serves his time he can't get a pardon from Trump unless he pays Rudy Giuliani a million dollars. That's the corruption and the lunacy on the Republican side. And you know about it on the Democrat side. But Julian Assange is another example of it.

Somebody exposing crimes is the one who goes to jail, not the criminals. He says, as I make clear in my book, Battlefield America, the War on the American People, and in its fictional counterpart, the Eric Blair Diaries, you know, the real name of George Orwell, he said, these problems will continue to plague our nation unless and until Americans wake up to the fact

that we are the only ones who can change things for the better. Question is, where do we work to change things for the better? Well, you might want to listen to Elon Musk. You might want to pay attention to what George Soros does. That's what Elon Musk said. He says he's not focused on presidential election. He's focused on district attorneys because he gets the biggest bang for his buck focusing on local elections. That's where he can really change things.

All politics is local. We've been told that by these people forever. The rest of this stuff, folks, is just a distraction. These debates are just a distraction. The change is going to happen, is going to have to happen at the local level. And it can be blocked to a large degree at the local level. The federal government does not represent you. It does not represent change. A dictatorship in Washington is not going to solve your problems. Washington is no longer a republic.

And it's not a democracy. It has become a mockery. That's what it is. You know, you had James Carville. What's the matter with these people? They're so stupid. They think that we got a republic. It's like, yeah, well, that's what the Constitution says.

You know, we got a democracy here. You know, all this kind of stuff. Well, no, we have a mockery. This is a mockery so everybody's talking about age are you gonna drug test biden and all this other kind of stuff see if they get him hyped up everybody's so concerned about that of course biden is 81 trump is 78 what they're doing in their commercials and there was actually a brilliant commercial even though it doesn't matter and it's you know lies and all that kind of stuff but it was a brilliant hit job by the Lincoln Project on Trump because what they did was they had all these conservative commentators like Sean Hannity and others who were talking about Biden's obvious senility.

And they would have these people, and they wouldn't say Biden. They would just say, he's this and he's that, you know, as they're talking about that. And then they would show Trump in some type of stuttering thing or where he uses the wrong word or whatever. Everybody can see that there is a huge difference in terms of cognitive ability between Biden and Trump. That's about the only difference that there is between them. And when it comes to policy, they don't want to talk about that. So focus on age. And if you focus on age, you focus on senility. What is that telling people?

That these guys are really in charge? Do you really think they're in charge? Do you really think that Biden is in charge? And do you really think that Trump is in charge? When he's got all the people around him, he doesn't even know that they're on his side or not on his side. It's a perfect fit, isn't it? You know, the MAGA people think that Trump's on his side or not on his side. It's perfect fit, isn't it? You know, the MAGA people think that Trump's on his side. And Trump doesn't even know who's on his side when he's in the White House.

It's pretty pathetic. Everybody's living in this fantasy projection that they've got there. So the age anxiety only matters if you think that these guys are in charge. And they're not in charge but if you want to watch the debate i suggest that there is a way that you can maybe tolerate it if you use some kind of an age filter to knock off about 75 years off of each of their ages he wants to shut down this country and i want to keep it open and we can get great just wait a minute let me shut you down for a I can do the job. Neither one know how to do the job i know i can do the job i can yeah neither one of them can do the job folks uh but yeah if you want to uh watch the

um the debate maybe you could do that in real time i don't know where that filter comes from probably on a phone somewhere but it's it's ridiculous and when you look at what these people at the time, everybody was talking, that's their previous encounter. At the time, as Reason Magazine points out, a disastrous Biden and Trump debate could be the best possible outcome out of this. When they did that back in October 2020, that just showed you that the Washington Post called it, quote, the worst presidential debate and living memory. For media analyst Tom Jones at Poynter, he said it was a dumpster fire full of constant interruptions, constant talking over one another, name-calling, juvenile bickering. Reason says a transcript of the debate reads like gibberish because it is gibberish because it's about their personality just like with the laura loomer thing so are you about trump or not okay

i'm sick of that now it would have been interesting to have um uh some other candidates in there actually talk about uh issues but uh that's not going to happen. They control that very carefully. Everything about this is a controlled pageant. It is a wag the dog pageant. Remember that movie? The characters, just think of it as a pageant. Reasons Jacob Sullen argued then that the debate was good for the Republic because it shattered the unfounded respect for the people who rule us.

So what if the debate doesn't simply confirm that the Biden-Trump debates in 2020 showed that these men deserve neither our respect nor our affection? No, I mean, what if it was actually really bad? Democrats have been working hard to counter-program any suggestion that Biden's mental acuity has declined but the evidence keeps piling up and so you know where where do we go with this what is the best possible outcome of this well the best thing would be for you to direct your attention away from this pageant, this show, this entertainment, and the things that matter. RFK Jr. did not make, as planned, the cut, but he says that he's planning to join

the presidential debate with a miracle of technology. And so he's going to have some people who are going to evidently green screen him into the debate so that he and maybe they'll pause it so that he can make a comment on it. I will not be, like I said, I'll not be covering a live debate because I don't believe these people are really live. They're a couple of zombie puppets. I'll do an autopsy of some of the stuff tomorrow, but life is too short. It really is. We're going to do a kind of live stream, said RFK Jr., that includes me in the debate.

It'll have a podium. It'll kind of look like I'm on stage. He said the most consequential political issue of the last two presidential administrations had to do with COVID-19 pandemic. And you can rely on the fact that they won't be talking about that. They may use it to criticize each other. They didn't do it enough. But here's what RFK Jr. said. He's right about this part. I don't support RFK Jr. When you're not weighed down by high interest rates, life lightens up. MBNA TrueLine MasterCards have low interest rates on balance transfers and purchases

I'm just saying that we need to have somebody that's going to talk about, I said at the very beginning, there's absolutely no way I was going to vote for him. He never was honest in terms of taking back what he said about locking up people who disagreed with him about the green agenda and many other things. And then he jumps in and supports the war, other things like that. But an abortion, of course, big, big support of abortion. So there's a lot of reasons that I would not support him. However, I thought it would have been good to have him in the debates because he would bring up some of these issues that these other guys are not going to talk about and that

they won't be asked by CNN. He said they locked down our country for 500 days, which both President Trump and President Biden went along with, that decision shifted $4.3 trillion of the American middle class to this new oligarchy of billionaires. They created a billionaire a day in 500 days. 500 billionaires were created, and they shut down 3.3 million businesses. They shut down all the churches. See, you weren't essential, as Trump put it.3 million businesses. They shut down all the churches.

See, you weren't essential, as Trump put it. He goes on. They shut down freedom of speech. Companies started actively censoring for the first time in history, pressuring social media and media companies not to publish critiques of their policies. And the biggest cheerleader was CNN, he said. Jake Tapper was out there shaming people who violated mask mandates or who weren't staying in their homes. I feel somebody should be on that stage asking all three of them about their role in it.

All you see is criticism of Jake Tapper because he doesn't like Trump, because he's biased against Trump, and he is biased against Trump. They put him in as a moderator. But he joined Trump and Biden in pushing this pandemic of fear, lies, and propaganda. RFK Jr. goes on to say, Louis Brandeis says that the role of media in a democracy is to maintain a fierce position of skepticism toward government authorities and toward official pronouncements. This is what the media did in this country for the first 285 years as part of our existence.

But in the last decade, and particularly culminating in COVID, you saw the need to completely take the opposite, a posture. The media has become a mouthpiece for government policies and shamed people it silenced them it marginalized them it gas lit them and let me say what we saw for the first time in the trump administration was conservative media well that was the last bastion of this the liberals went over to a you know to play this game to be on the side of government a long time ago and now we have the conservatives and the people who used to be on the outside they used to not push the idea that all our problems could

be solved in washington but they all became uncritical cheerleaders. They all looked for a demographic that could make them money, and then they serve up to that demographic, whatever that demographic wants to hear, whether it's about Trump or whether it's about Biden. When asked if he would accept a job from Trump if the former president was elected in November, Kennedy said that he would consider a proposal, but he doesn't think he would accept the offer. He said, I don't think so.

I would listen to a proposal, but I don't think so. He said, one of the reasons that I don't think I'd go to work for him is because he offered a job in the last administration, but instead he took a billion dollars from Pfizer. And you know what he's talking about it's well covered you know trump posed during the election as a vaccine skeptic he believed that um you know he put indications out there they believed that um the childhood vaccines had been part of the autism issues and so he called in rfk jr to trump towers during the transition period and as he was coming out the press was there i said what you talk about you're gonna ban vaccines no no no we're going to actually do some science and test them to see if they work if they're safe that type of thing it's the way he put it well trump is just using rfk jr to bid his price up with the pharmaceutical companies

and they paid him millions of dollars each and what he did was he hired eli lilly's ceo the most politically connected of all the pharmaceutical companies, Alex Azar, put him in charge of HHS and it was Alex Azar to put out the first emergency order in January of 2020 before Trump released the emergency cash that paid everybody to do what Alex Azar and the pharmaceutical companies wanted them all to do. We're going to take a quick break and we'll come right back. We've got some Supreme court decisions about the first amendment that are very important and many other things, you know, we've not had a decision yet on the, whether or not,

there was a couple of issues about January the sixth and about Trump. They've not released decisions on those, and I don't think that they will until after this debate.

The common man. They created common core to dumb down our children. They created common past to track and control us. Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing. And the communist future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while

they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find at thedavidknightshow.com. Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing. If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers. TheDavidKnightShow.com welcome back and uh i've got a couple of comments i've got a tip here as well and by the way i just want to thank everybody uh for the support yesterday marty did matching funds and we had a lot of support yesterday i apologize for not getting an update i did not go through and total everything up i I was just yesterday.

I was just so exhausted. I went to bed early. So, yeah, some of this sometimes this really gets to me. But so I apologize. We'll get that done today. I'll do that instead of watching the debate. How about that? It's going to find something to do.

Duke Newcomb. Thank you for the tip. He says research flat earth deep in the rabbit hole d-i-t-r-h on you on youtube and rumble nasa moon landings globe earth our world is mass deception as you well know we can see many miles beyond purported global curve it's undeniable and a no-brainer uh well i agree i just uh, you know, we have a lot of exceptions out there. And so I like to focus on the things that have a direct influence on us. It is hard enough to get people to believe that buildings just collapsed on their own, you know, to not believe the 9-11 official story.

Many people want to cling to that and uh so you know if we could get people to uh pay attention to that we could look at some of these other things as well but that's really my focus because it's tied to what happened to us in 2020 that was the other shooter drop uh those two things were happening at the same time as a matter of fact they even did the first germ game two months before nine 11 Octo spook. Does David list an itinerary someplace on the subjects that he plans on the subjects of the day or just chosen from current events? Either is acceptable. Of course,

just asking. I don't, I used to put some of the key topics that I was going to talk about up, but you know, quite honestly, when I'm doing the show, sometimes I'll just change it. And I always have more stuff each day than I can actually get to and so sometimes I don't go in the order that I had planned sometimes I skip over to something else so

I stopped doing that because I'd mentioned that I was going to cover this this this and this today and I wind up covering some different things, but I do every day. Uh, we have started trying to get the show up earlier. Uh, so I first put the show up where they, without any description saying the description will follow.

And then, uh, when I get that done and it's usually by about four hours after the show, uh, that done and it's usually by about four hours after the show uh i put up a transcript that shows with time codes that shows the topics discussed in general and about where you can find them because i know it's a long show and i know people don't most people uh don't listen to all of it every day unless you're traveling or working or something like that and so i put the subjects there if people are looking at it uh after the fact and uh but it takes a while for those to get there but they do

show up so we we used to wait until i had everything ready and put it up because i'm not sure if when i put it up on um when i put it up for the podcast, it immediately pushes it out to other places. And I'm not sure if it pushes out the change to the other places. So you guys can let me know if you don't see the update. If you only see a generic description there each day, we'll have to change that. But I thought it'd be better to get it up sooner, a couple of hours sooner, rather than waiting until I had all of the description topics by time code and everything in there so um chef can 321 i'm tired of being told that if i don't like trump i must like biden are we really that dumb yeah we're really that bipolar uh ap rumble seat bragging

about a fake mugshot that's what you want in president. They have dismantled this nation. I know. Wasn't that ridiculous? And again, incapable of acting except out of his own perceived self-interest and a totally consumed narcissist. Of course he will act out of revenge as well.

About the child version of the debate, Najeeb Levin says, you should air that version of the debate on your show. It'll probably be the most watched broadcast. Get the whole thing and do that. It's kind of interesting because CNN has got lots of rules for anybody that wants to cover it. You must put it full screen. You've got to put their chyron there. Nothing about your network if you want to cover it uh you can do you you must put it full screen you got to put their chiron there nothing about your network if you want to cover it when you go to commercial break when they go to commercial break and you go to commercial break uh you can't do any commentary about it

and all the rest of stuff well that's not going to happen on twitter a lot of people will be doing commentary i'm not going to do that i've done that in the past i think the best way to do commentary quite frankly so that people um you always wind up having to talk over them if you're going to say anything if you do it live i think it's better to do it as a tweet but i'm not going to do that anybody else want to do that knock yourself out i can't stand watching these guys i literally despise them it's just uh you know know, like I said, life is too short. A Syrian girl. I don't think the debate can be anything but a disaster. Neither candidate can talk to the issues.

Just Laura Loomer type personality bashing. That's all it is. Are you for this guy or against the guy? And that's why they do only two candidates. Because it makes it easier to do the ad hominem attacks. And they always ask the same stupid, irrelevant questions. They never address the issue of the day. And that's on the news media people.

CNN and other people of that ilk. That's why they pick them. And that's why the debates are not even controlled by a third party like the League of Women Voters. They don't want to have somebody like Ross Perot or third wheel that they don't control on again. And so they created a debate commission that is run by the Republicans and Democrats. Everything is a duopoly. And it really the debate commission is just another example of the uni party uh so um choking three to one trump the vaccines are great biden just blah blah blah yeah i agree octo spook i wish rfk jr was not

blocked from the debate i think he would have forced a bit of honesty to these debates i agree um i suspect the majority of americans real concerns will never be addressed perhaps rfk jr dubbin will cover those well i'm glad that he's going to fight all of that but of course we've always seen that i've always and i i realized a long time ago when i was involved in third party politics that their whole agenda was to keep you focused on the race for president or maybe the race for governor in some cases so that you didn't really put a lot of resources in getting somebody elected at the local level it's like hmm if they are so concerned to keep us over here maybe we shouldn't be doing what they want us to do

maybe that's a really stupid way to do politics to do exactly what they have designed for us to do well let's talk a little bit about the supreme court and the supreme court has acknowledged accidentally posting an idaho abortion case document that may preview a narrow Biden administration win. Isn't that interesting? You know, we had the Dobbs decision that was leaked, of course, about the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Now we have another abortion decision being leaked. Huh. Maybe if they want to know who's doing this, maybe they look to see who in this inner circle of just a few

people is rabidly pro-abortion they might be able to figure out who actually leaked this stuff so they say it was inadvertently posted and then they removed it from its website but some people got a snapshot of it the court appears set things and we don't know if this is the actual decision or if it's going to change or not. They said the court appears to set to allow emergency room doctors in Idaho to perform abortions in certain situations according to a copy of the decision. And of course this would contradict what they just did with Dobbs. With Dobbs they just said with the Tenth Amendment,

we don't get to make these decisions. These things belong at the state level. Now they're going to go back in and start micromanaging at the federal level, these different decisions. Now they're going to start writing law about things over which they should have no jurisdiction. And they're going to do it in the federal sphere. And it's kind of interesting to see that they are wading into these areas

where they have no jurisdiction, where they disrespect the clear language of the Constitution on issue after issue. It's interesting to see that, even as um they pretend that they don't have any authority to rule and some of these controversial cases like the free speech case the social media free speech case that they just took a pass on and said well these defendants don't have standing oh yes they do yes they. Everybody sees through that dodge. And it is a dodge. The bottom line is, as they pass on a couple of these controversial cases saying they didn't have standing,

they are jumping into areas where they have no standing, where they have no authority under the Constitution. No federal agency has any authority. You see, there's not any authority when it comes to abortion there's no authority for the federal government at any level for the supreme court for the president for the congress none of them have the authority to have a say about that that belongs at the state level so this case this id case, concerns whether a federal law, again, if the federal law comes into an area that the federal government has not been expressly given power, then it is usurping that power because that power has been reserved by the 10th Amendment to the states and to the people. But it's a federal law that regulates emergency room treatment

and it overrides Idaho's strict abortion ban. Brown Jackson wrote separately to say the court should have gone ahead and decided the bigger issue, which is likely to come up in another case in due course would have an impact on other states with similar abortion restrictions. She said, today's decision is not a victory for pregnant patients in Idaho. While this court dawdles and the country waits, pregnant people. Why does she keep talking like that?

Why didn't she say pregnant women? Oh, well, because it's pregnant patients and pregnant people remember it was brown jackson that uh marcia blackburn asked point blank uh what is a woman that was katanji and she still doesn't know what she knows but she won't say right she's still playing this game pregnant people pregnant patients famously would not acknowledge what a woman is and she's never going to she's going to keep up this charade with all this stuff so supreme court is also in terms of free speech they're going to allow the government to pressure social media companies to censor you know we, we all knew what was happening for a long time.

We knew that was exactly what was happening. Then we got the Twitter files and we got, we had the documentary proof that they were doing it. And so you had two states and you had five individuals, high profile individuals who had been censored by Facebook because there were, there was a paper trail showing that the government wanted them to censor people but disagreed with the government's agenda, and they did it.

And so Amy Coney Barrett wrote the decision, and she pretends that these people don't have standing. One of the most ridiculous evasions I've ever seen in my life. CNN says the Supreme Court allows White House to press social media companies to remove disinformation. Well, in reality, it was really more not saying, well, this is okay. They just said, well, we're not even going to issue a decision about the substance of this claim we're just going to dodge this completely by saying that uh it is um you don't have standing the fbi may continue to urge social media platforms to take down content that the government views as misinformation says c. How is that not censorship?

Censorship by proxy. I've always said that. You see, the iron fist of censorship in a velvet glove of private companies. That's what this stuff all is.

Find the credit card that's right for you. Visit mbna.ca slash TrueLineCards. Give your finances a lift. Social media was created to do this. The government helped to create it for this very purpose.

CNN says rather than delving into the weighty First Amendment questions raised by the case, the court ruled that state and social media users who challenged the Biden administration did not have standing to sue. Barrett, who wrote

the opinion for the 6-3 majority, said to establish standing, the plaintiffs must demonstrate a substantial risk that in the near future they will suffer an injury that is traceable to a government defendant and redressable by the injunction that they seek because no plaintiff has carried that burden none has standing to seek a preliminary injunction. How clueless can you be? As Information Liberation says, it's more conservative cowardice on the part of two Trump-appointed Federalist Society-approved justices. Justice Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, and gorsuch were the ones who dissented and so

what we see here is a pattern oh people like to say well it's a conservative court well how do you come up with that and we've got a hardcore radical left the obama biden women that are there that's the three call them the squad if you will and then you've got john roberts who more often than not folks and especially on the big issues more often than not he sides with the left now he didn't he and kavanaugh didn't on roe v wade but they came really close according to discussions that were had uh but kavanaugh is like a clone of John Roberts. He seems to do everything that he does. Which leaves us with Amy Coney Barrett.

And do you remember when she had her confirmation hearings and she was asked about the First Amendment? And she couldn't summarize it, didn't understand why things like religion and politics would be talked about in the first amendment um what are the five freedoms of the first amendment speech religion press assembly speech press religion assembly i don't know what am i missing redress or protest okay speech, press, religion, assembly. I don't know. What am I missing?

Redress or protest. Okay. Why is there one amendment that has these five freedoms clustered? Why do they hang together? I don't know what you're getting at on that one. You mean like what is the common denominator? Why five of them in the same amendment? I don't know why, actually, as a historical matter, those were grouped. I'm sure there's a story that I don't know there about why those appeared in the First Amendment altogether rather than being split up in different amendments.

I mean, assembly and protest and speech bear more relation to one another than necessarily free exercise say no no sorry thanks for playing next next contestant it's what they should have said but no they went ahead and passed her on the next level and this is what we get from some idiot like that uh okay so there's the bill of rights which to many of us is kind of important and you can't be bothered to even learn what the first one says let alone understand why it was put together why do we have religion and politics well it's because that's the kind of stuff that the government doesn't want you talking about right everything is about religion or politics that they want to censor for the most part. That's what the First Amendment is trying to prevent.

They know that that's what the government wants to shut down. So Justice Alito and Thomas, Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch, wrote a dissent that dubbed this case, quote, one of the most important free speech cases to reach the court in years. They said the challengers had brought forward enough evidence to establish standing. And by the way, all the lower courts thought so as well. All the lower courts didn't throw it out because of standing. The court, however, shirks that duty, says the decision written by alito and thomas i think it's

thomas um um they they all signed it together gorsuch uh the court shirks that duty and thus permits the successful campaign of coercion in this case to stand as an attractive model for future officials who want to control what people say what they hear and what they think that was written by alito he called the conduct of the officials sued in the case unconstitutional coercive and dangerous he said it was blatantly unconstitutional and the country may come to regret the court's failure to say so. He had a 34-page dissent that went through the details of the case as he sought to counter the court's conclusions that they didn't have standing. So he wrote 34 pages to show that they did have standing. He said for months, high-ranking government officials

placed unrelenting pressure on facebook to suppress americans free speech because the court unjustifiably refuses to address this serious issue the serious threat to the first amendment i respectfully dissent well what do we expect right she was a diversity pick just like sandra day o'connor was a diversity pick for uh she was trump's diversity pick his dei if you will just like uh sandra day o'connor was reagan's diversity pick and it was a big one because it was the first time anybody put a woman on the supreme court i remember they even came out rushed a really garbage a piece of quote unquote entertainment uh propaganda you know even hollywood was so excited about reagan doing this diversity thing with sandra day o'connor i think they even had like first uh first sunday or monday in uh october something like that uh and it was about you know

the the first day of this female supreme court justice and of course sandra day o'connor huge disappointment to all the conservatives that thought well we don't have to fight roe v wade at the local level because reagan is going to do it for us in washington with supreme court picks and she turned out to be one of the most leftist um statist shills in there and um she's wrong on nearly everything nearly everything well um alito railed about this again as barrett read her and and this is um from the hill and they said these three guys were so furious that the supreme court just pushed this thing out of the way and they talk about how alito and Thomas, who were there, how they reacted while her decision was being read. And the fact that Gorsuch wouldn't even attend.

Wouldn't even attend. As Barrett read her opinion, Alito mainly looked down at the set of papers in front of him with his head sometimes leaning on his hand. He did not read his dissent aloud from the bench. Like Alito, Thomas also looked down for the greater portion of the opinion reading and leaned his head on his hand at times. About halfway through Barrett's reading, Thomas could be seen putting back on his glasses, reading papers in his hand, and occasionally looking up and out into the courtroom. Gorsuch was absent.

And so Alito wrote in his decision, I assume that a fair portion of what social media users had to say about COVID and the pandemic was of little lasting value. Some was undoubtedly untrue or misleading, and some may have been downright dangerous. You know, like what Fauci was telling us. But he said, we now know that valuable speech was also suppressed. Most importantly, it's not for the government to decide what we allow to hear or not hear. It's not their prerogative to decide what is true and false. It's also not their prerogative to decide what is acceptable and what is hateful speech either. The Biden

administration contended that it was merely encouraging the platforms to moderate content so the communications didn't cross the line into outright unconstitutional coercion. How could that be? How could you coerce somebody through social media? Government has a monopoly on coercion. And it was government that was coercing. Alito rejected that view in his dissent, insisting that White House officials browbeat Facebook into deleting posts, and the platform's response quote resembled that of a subservient entity determined to stay in the good graces of a powerful task master that's what

this all is he said if the lower court's assessment of the voluminous record is correct this is one of the most important free speech cases to reach the court in years. So what do we go from here? Well, this particular case, as Coney Barrett and the others take a pass on it, refuse to really judge it and allow it to continue. There's another one that is making its way up, and this is coming from Children's Health Defense and RFK Jr. And class action suits that have now been combined.

Find the credit card that's right for you. Visit mbna.ca slash TrueLinecards. Give your finances a lift. And in this particular case, they said they also are very disappointed in this. They said the decision reversed decisions by two lower courts, which held that when the government, quote, coerced or, quote, significantly encouraged, unquote,

the platforms to moderate content that presidential elections and other controversial topics, that they transformed the social media company's decisions into state actions and violating the First Amendment. And so Children's Health Defense CEO Mary Holland said, we consider the government's role in coercing and encouraging censorship by social media platforms the greatest threat to free speech in our time. Children's Health Defense and its founder and chairman on leave, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., in March 2023, made similar allegations in a class action lawsuit filed on behalf of all American news consumers. Holland said that these two suits don't face the same problem of standing as some of the plaintiffs in Murthy v. Missouri, and that Kennedy v. Biden is expected to move forward. We note that the Supreme Court did not reach the merits. In other words, they didn't get to the point where they actually discussed the issue, the First Amendment.

They dodged it by lying about the fact that these defendants didn't have standing. These are people who have been censored. We will continue with Kennedy v. Biden, a separate lawsuit in the Western District of Louisiana, where we believe that there is no issue regarding lack of standing for RFK Jr. or Children's Health Defense, who were directly and traceably censored and continue to be heavily censored. We expect this case to move forward, even if standing remains an issue for the Missouri plaintiffs. If Kennedy versus Biden is heard on its merits, which the court did not do in Murthy versus Missouri, the outcome could have wide reaching implications for the first amendment

and online speech. On X, RFK Jr. said there is no question that he and CHD have standing. He said the Supreme Court got it wrong and has failed to uphold its responsibility to the Constitution by finding no standing in Murphy versus Missouri. My case of Kennedy versus Biden will proceed in the trial court where there is no question that I have standing. The New York Times called the decision by the Supreme Court one of the most important First Amendment cases of the Internet age because the constitutional questions at stake. Judge Dottie in July of 2023 even issued a preliminary injunction telling the Biden administration officials that they could not communicate their desire to have stuff removed or silenced. Then the fifth circuit court of appeals narrowed, but upheld, uh, what, um, Barrett writing for the majority called a sweeping preliminary injunction in

September of 2023. Uh, Barrett then wrote the fifth circuit was wrong to do so. Uh, the people, by the way, are people that you've heard quite a bit about. Jay,

uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,

uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, people that you've heard quite a bit about jay badakaria martin koldorf aaron carriotti gateway pundit uh and one person i don't know health activist jill hines argued that the censorship they experienced on social media could be tied to government action and that they're also likely to be censored in the future barrett said they did not show specific causation, and they did not show that the moderation was tied to the government. Did she not look at the evidence at all?

His Twitter files were very, very clear what was happening with it. She said that the relationship of the government to these social media companies is more complex, and this lawsuit glossed over those complexities we talk about projection that's exactly what she did she glossed over the censorship she glossed over the censorship by corporate proxy the coerc, and the cronyism to destroy the First Amendment. She glossed over all of those quote-unquote complexities. They're not complex. They're right out there for people to see.

So this is, it was simple, clear, direct censorship. And she refuses, and the majority of the Supreme Court refuses to pay attention to that. This is why i say judicial supremacy is a very bad idea it is was never the intention of the founders it was uh usurped and marbury versus madison and jefferson said well that's it you know they destroyed the constitution and they have over and over again uh the record reflects the government defendants played a role in at least some of the platform's moderation choices. But the Fifth Circuit, by attributing every platform decision, at least in part to the defendants, glossed over complexities in the evidence, said Barrett.

So she said that they did play a role in at least some of these platforms moderation choices. Moderation is censorship. How many times does Facebook have to censor somebody at the request of the Department of Justice for it to be censorship? I'd like to know. What is the level? How many times? She says, well, at least some of these, they did do that. Okay, well, what is the level? How many times? She says, well, at least some of these, they did do that. Okay, well, what's the number?

Is it five times? Is it 10 times? Is it 15 times before you care that it's censorship? I think once is enough, isn't it? So she said the plaintiffs must demonstrate their own standing for each claim against each defendant. No, you just have to say that it's being done. But I don't think there's a problem with that anyway. Alito said the court is shirking their duty, permitting the successful campaign of coercion to stand as an attractive model for future officials.

He said there is a and he wrote 34 pages. He said there is a vast, that was his term, a vast record of evidence that shows that federal officials communicate with social media platforms about so-called misinformation. And relevant to the Kennedy case, because it's still in the Children's Health Defense article where they're saying, yeah, our case is still coming up. They said our record includes specific evidence that Biden officials sought to censor tweets by RFK Jr. about the then-recent death of a baseball hall of famer, Hank Aaron, 18 days after he publicly received the Moderna vaccine. So they said, well, you know, we got evidence saying shut down RFK Jr.

It was not a generalized thing. So quite frankly, this is not a conservative court, and Trump didn't put in conservative justices when two or three of them were constantly making the wrong decision and not even gorsuch is completely reliable but it's gotten to the point where amy coney barrett and kavanaugh are completely unreliable just like john roberts uh so um again uh statists um amy doesn't have a brain kavanaugh basically does i'm with him you know type of thing with roberts uh alito's dissent included lengthy summary of the dubious actions taken by the federal government to induce social media companies 34 pages of it uh he said in some the officials wielded potent authority. Their communications with Facebook were virtual demands, and Facebook's quavering responses to those demands show that it felt a strong need to yield. Well, I'm glad that they're not yielding, but still, your God-given rights are not up for a vote, you see. If we have a republic, then your rights can't be taken away by a majority of the people like they can in a democracy.

But if we don't have a republic, then a majority of political appointees wearing black robes can take... When you're not weighed down by high interest rates, life lightens up.

Give your finances a lift. Take away your rights as they see fit. We're going to take a break. Thank you. you're listening to the david knight show well guard goldsmith says this opinion was one of the

most disingenuous and factually empty scotus decisions i've ever read well that's because way good way to describe it regard that's because it was written by a disingenuous factually empty person uh barrett uh he also says the velvet clad glove of regulatory attack section 230 of the and and the fcc all were behind the government pushing the social media sites to conform the ever-present threat yeah we know yeah it is amazing truly is amazing uh and it's how they twist everything too right um it is interesting to see that you know they would always use fisa that section 230 stuff fiso was supposed to stop uh the um tracking of people and yet they use these that they now use it as the court to give them legal cover to do exactly what the intention was. The intention was to stop the CIA and the NSA from spying on Americans, which they had been doing from their inception right after World War Two. So now they use the FISA bill and the FISA court as legal cover to do what they were always doing.

But now they took the thing that was supposed to prohibit it and they use it as legal cover. That's the way they always turn this thing around. Brian and Deb McCartney. It is conservative court. All right. Yeah, that is a big con. Jason Barker. I got several emails in the past 24 hours about changes to terms of service in some accounts.

I wonder if this decision is why. I don't know. I don't know. Syrian girl. Remember when they were pushing Barrett as a conservative Catholic mother of a large family? The lies just keep on coming. I remember that. You know, all of the stuff that was put out publicly about her i thought oh

you know she's i was actually i felt like she was a much better um possibility of being an outsider than kavanaugh because they talked about the fact that you know she uh i think she didn't go to georgetown or something like that which most of these people have. And so I thought, well, maybe, you know, there's more of a hope for that. And yet, right away, she started making decisions about lockdown and closing churches and stuff. Oh, yeah, you know, here is this woman who's all about family, all about being a Christian and so forth,

all the things that we're told, and she's shutting down churches and voting for that kind of stuff. They're just awful. Don't Frag Me, Bro says says how can we be denying women's rights if we don't know what a woman is that's right uh well it's um that is their big problem isn't it as i said the other day you got the t's versus everybody including the lgbs, because the Ts are at war with biological women

and have been all along. A very bitter war with biological women. And then, of course, you've got the Gs, the gays, who said there's a gay gene. They were saying that everything was biological, so, you know, that's the basis for having homosexual

marriage and things like that. But then the Ts come along and say, no, there's was biological. So, you know, that's the basis for having homosexual marriage and things like that. But then the T's come along and say, no, there's nothing biological. It's all in our minds. Gender is a mental construct. And so they're at odds with the G's. And then when you go to the B's, the B's are bisexual. What does bi mean? That means two.

It means there's two sexes. Oh, the trainees think there's a gazillion of them. It's just, it's strange. I don't know how they, well, they just lie, you know. How do they keep this coalition together? They lie about it. DGA, David, Trump, Pompeo, Cotton, Tim, Scott, Rubio, Stefanik, all want to prosecute whistleblowers.

Yes. How is that draining the swamp? And all of them are Trump's potential VPs. You're absolutely right. Don't frag me, bro, says a judge that doesn't know the history of our founding. What a POS. Doesn't know and doesn't care. If you're going to ask somebody the Constitution, just read it out to them.

Just recite the first amendment i would think you know if i was going to be a supreme court justice i think i would be able to at least memorize the bill of rights because it's so important they don't because it's not important to them guard goldsmith alito nailed it he cited examples specific and direct 34 pages of it. And he noted the overall threat that inspired the changes in social media terms of service, quote unquote. Guard Goldsmith also says the this decision is one of the worst in the last half century. I agree. I agree. And, you know, if if. If you'd had two votes that switched.

If it these two Trump judges had gone the right way, they would have had a 5-4 majority. Because you know, Roberts is going to go with the squad that's there. Syrian girl, they are an embarrassment. The worst decision the founding father made was the establishment of the Supreme Court. And many of them saw the danger it posed at the time the supreme court is the greatest enemy of our constitution has ever faced and they continually get away with destroying this country from the inside tearing it down constitutional right by right i agree i said we're going to get rid of this idea of judicial supremacy and we have to have the only way to stop this is at the state level

and what are the dynamics of all this how do they get away with all this well the congress has abdicated its legislative ability to the bureaucracy and then what's even worse is that they all pretend that a rule from the bureaucracy doesn't come with due process or constitutional bill of rights protections. They say, well, that's a rule. And so whether it's the IRS or whether it is the EPA or whether it's the ATF, you are guilty and you have to prove your innocence. That's why they call it civil asset forfeiture when they steal your property and don't even charge you with a crime, let alone get a conviction on you. And so you have no protection against excessive fines. You have no presumption of innocence.

You have no due process because our elected legislators that were all so worried, are we going to have a majority of Republicans or Democrats? We're all so worried about that. Well, they kick everything over to the bureaucracy. And so we have taxation as well as regulation without representation. And it's been that way for a long time. And then when you get to Congress and you get to the president, just as we saw with Trump and DACA, that was a political hot potato. He had promised people he's going to do something about DACA, that he was going to end

it, maybe even deport the people who were here under DACA. Because if you stop deferring action, that means that they would deport the people who were young and who had come here when they were young and come here and stayed illegally he didn't want to have to do that so he kicked it to the supreme court which again got it all wrong and gave but gave him legal cover so that he didn't have to do it he could pretend that he couldn't do it because the all-powerful supreme court wouldn't let him. So we have to have people at the state level who are going to say, well, the Supreme Court's had their ruling. Let's see them enforce it, which is what Andrew Jackson said. And he was wrong on the issue, but he was right on the principle

when he was talking about the removal of the Cherokee. Rational lampoon or terms of use also known here now as slip this ever more restrictive and exploitative noose around your subjugate sheeples necks yeah guard goldsmith the opinion is insulting to the great barrington folks the concept of free speech and limited federal powers and it opens the door for more fascism speech influence. Octo Spook says media acting as criminal proxies for criminals embedded in American government. Absolutely. Yeah. When you're not weighed down by high interest rates, life lightens up.

And Syrian girl, I'm sure Barrett was too busy taking care of all of her conservative Catholic children to take time out to read the evidence for First Amendment infringement. I don't know what she's

doing all right what what a these people uh besides besides not caring what the constitution says they don't give the impression of intellectual heavyweights they're pretty lightweight in terms of the stuff that they put out there as well hey somebody who's really come into his own i think is clarence thomas thomas and alito are solid uh for the most part they occasionally get something wrong that i or something that i disagree with but they've been pretty solid and there is a big back and forth and a lot of resentment uh from and bad blood between amy coney barrett and Clarence Thomas. And she's got a lot of things wrong.

There's some other Supreme Court things that I might get into later today, but I wanted to move on before I run out of time to climate stuff. Brandon Bennett, thank you very much for the tip. I appreciate that. And again, I apologize to everybody for not going through and totaling everything up and updating the uh the gas gauge we're getting right up to the last minute here and i really do appreciate everybody rallying around as marty said he was going to match the contributions um it's just i was really exhausted i needed to get one night where i got more than six hours of sleep so i turned in early

last night um older comments here we got dj david unfortunately 90 plus percent of the trump cult will never accept that he did anything wrong in 2020 under covet tyranny that's right um i know i've had these discussions with people uh i've even had discussions with people face to face who had not listened to my program but you know and try to make same points with them they just don't want to hear it um do not obey says we can't see beyond the left right paradigm stop participating as a collective yeah uh najit uh uh levin says it's not a duopoly it's a monopoly with the wwf spin you know, the professional wrestling.

Well, we have seen the bird flu going for what we all know is the next thing to shut down meat and dairy. They've said it's about shutting down meat and dairy for quite some time. And so now we have had the, um, uh, we've had the, um, uh, legislate, uh the legislature in Denmark. They have not passed the law, but it has begun the process. And here's the headline. Flatulent cows, sheep, and pigs face the world's first carbon tax in denmark i gotta say i think there's really only one appropriate response to this kind of nonsense i don't want to talk to you no more you

empty-headed animal food trough whopper i fart in your general direction your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries. Is there someone else up there we could talk to? No, now go away or I shall taunt you a second time. If you do not agree to my commands, then I shall yeah the farmers in denmark need to get themselves a cow to pult no you don't need to throw cats at them let's let's give them the real thing there uh so like

we were talking about this last night and whististler, who's running the board, said, I thought that it was about stopping the Industrial Revolution, right? Why are they now trying to get rid of these animals that have always been around? You know, is it the car? Is it the gas range and all these other things that they've been hectoring us about? It's cows? Seriously? Like I said, you know, they want to get rid of not just everything in the industrial revolution they want to get rid of our agrarian society because folks they want to

get rid of us the ultimate goal is to starve us to kill us that's what these zero people are all about all of these agendas all zero this and zero that it's all about shutting us down uh whistler says they're taxing farting cows but i think it'll be the farmers who pay it uh do they think calling a tax on cows sounds better than taxing farmers yeah i guess they have absolutely no shame they don't mind uh people talking about a fart tax the absurdity of this stuff uh it is monty python level and we ought to just uh catapult the cows right back at the legislature that's kind of what they're doing uh when you look at the the riots that are breaking out in Kenya. It was eco-austerity, and they said, we're not having any more of this stuff.

What is going to be the tipping point? Will the cows be the tipping point? Cow tipping. People have always had these animals. Why are they pretending that this is now somehow a an existential threat to us what an absurdity uh just like this bird flu stuff and their incessant focus on cattle and redfield trump's uh the propaganda meister uh out there saying oh it's inevitable it's going to happen to humans and it's inevitable. It's going to happen to humans.

And it's inevitable. There's going to be 25% to 50% casualties. Well, then, you know, imagine that. If people are going to buy that, then we're going to do something even more draconian than what they did with COVID. Because COVID didn't even come anywhere close to it. We had respiratory casualties and that stuff about one-tenth of a percent just like with flu and it was the hospital protocols that was killing people as of 2030 danish livestock

farmers will face a punitive financial imposition of excuse me 43 dollars per ton of carbon dioxide. And so I guess my question was, how many unicorn farts make up a ton of carbon? Well, they've got an answer, quite frankly. They've already thought this through. They said that a Danish cow emits six tons of carbon per year. But the next need to find out is that laden or unladen. A tax will increase more than double. It'll go up to $108 by 2035. So by 2030, it's going to be $43.

Then they're going to rapidly take it up to $108 by 2035 so by 2030 it's going to be 43 then they're going to rapidly take it up to 108 by 2035 however because of an income tax deduction of 60 the actual cost per ton will start at 17 and increase uh in 2030 so okay so it's a tax but then we give you a tax deduction is that acceptable well actually they've already tried this in New Zealand. New Zealand, where, by the way, they have more sheep than they do people. They have a lot of deer there. So much of that, I think they've got now more deer than they do sheep because they have massive exports of venison to Germany.

But when they tried that with the New Zealand farmers, they got the law passed. And then the New Zealand farmers undid it. None of this stuff is written in stone. None of it is in concrete. We don't have to obey any of this stuff. You look at what happened in, you know, this is in concrete. We don't have to obey any of this stuff. You look at what happened in, you know, this is in Denmark and neighboring Netherlands. They threw Mark Ruta out.

Now, of course, you know, where does a disgraced politician globalist go? To NATO. He's going to be the head of NATO. So he's going to still be at war with everybody. We'll take a big step closer in becoming climate neutral in 2045 they said folks this is utter nonsense and you can spell that with t's or with d's either way it is absolute garbage and uh i no longer want to talk to you people about any of this stuff this is this is doesn't rise to the level even of debate just ought to shut them down denmark will be the first country in the world to introduce a real co2 tax on an unreal

threat no that's they're saying that it's a real co2 tax on agriculture and we hope that other countries will follow suit again when new zealand did it was put in uh when they had that globalist jab send to arden and uh she's gone but she wanted to tax the cows and get rid of farms sounds like that's what you want to do yep yep that's what i want to do she's the one that sounds like you can have two classes of people vaccinated and unvaccinated yep yep that's what it is yep yep well uh we got two classes of people people like her and then the rest of us who for at least the time being enough people are just passively going along and ignoring what is really going on with this stuff and when we look at this what is the matter with these people?

They're now looking at, we don't need cows. We don't need meat. We don't need dairy. And we don't need eggs. And we don't need chickens. You know what we need? We need skin for the robots.

Full Terminator stuff. These people are absolutely insane. And big bucks. This is coming from Harvard University. So, you know, this is being funded by the military industrial complex and the people like that. Don't frag me, bro.

So here's the deal. I'll spend 24 hours in a closed garage with a cow. Bill Gates can spend 24 hours in a closed garage with a cow bill gates can spend 24 hours in a closed garage with a running car let's see who walks out in the morning yeah uh kwa 68 says scotus is a 63 but it isn't conservative trump's picks were as awful as he is yeah uh brandon bennett my trumper dad thinks i'm a democrat while he swallows all the excrement from the new york democrat idol yeah that's true yeah people oh you you're a liberal democrat you don't like trump uh con think says tonight's debate drinking game take a shot every time one of the candidates puts

forward an incoherent sentence or if you really want to get drunk every time trump refers to himself because it will all be about him everything about it will be him better get some extra bottles and get the ambulance service on call we're ready to pick you up because you're going to have alcohol poisoning if you play that game so you know what is the problem with these people what is the same groups of people the technocracy that wants to destroy our cars our homes our air conditioning our food supply and yet they want faces and skin for robots as a matter of fact this is what it looks like look at this is really creepy here it is smiling for you oh Oh, there you go.

And it's got some little manufactured eyes in there. Yeah, they've managed to create a cultured mix of human skin cells grown in a collagen scaffold and placed on top of a 3D printed resin base. Are human-like robots something that we should aim for? Well, PC Gamer thinks, yeah, maybe. are human-like robots something that we should aim for well pc gamer thinks yeah maybe they said these staring eyes why does it have eyes this rictus grimace this uh stretching skin just made me feel rather queasy and a more than tad unnerved says the writer i wasn't the only one in the office to fight the urge to torch it all before there was any chance of it being wrapped around a metal skeleton and then starting romping around with murderous intent. Leaving aside the nightmare-inducing robot faces, there's some really good science going on behind all this, they said.

Oh, well, it's for science then. Yeah, absolutely support that at the moment mechanical actuators were required to make the face but the authors of the research paper behind the study say that if we substitute them with cultured muscle tissue it presents an intriguing prospect and the realization of a higher degree of biomimetics you know we're back to where michael crichton was with Jurassic Park. Just because you can do something doesn't mean that you should, right? That was the whole point of that book. If artificial skin and flesh can be perfected, then it's not just the world of surgery that can benefit,

but also cosmetics. Cosmetics? Are we going to have celebrities that look like this? I think we've already got a lot of celebrities that look kind of like that. They've had so much plastic surgery. And pharmaceutical research into drugs administered via the skin. These people can't come up with any reason to do this. Oh, well, we could have plastic surgery,

or we could have uh no way to administer drugs into the skin you got to do a little bit better than that i said examining the correlation between facial muscle contractions and resulting facial expression can offer insights into the physiological aspects of emotion leading to new exploration and the treatment of diseases such as facial paralysis surgery. And the Terminator was designed to help little old ladies go across the street. What is the Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects doing, right? Defense Advanced Research Projects, DARPA.

Why are they involved in this kind of stuff why they involved in mind control and brain control and all the rest of this well it's a rhetorical question these people are monsters and they're creating monsters and they're doing it and getting obscenely rich doing it off of us they are using this while the city sleeps as chicago said in their lyrics men are scheming new ways to kill us and tell us dirty lies let's have at least one technological advancement that doesn't masquerade as a fellow human being. Can we do that? They said, just leave the robots metal. James Cameron is no mere filmmaker, but he is a genuine prophet of the future, they said.

No, you want a prophet of the future? You want to know where this is all leading? Go read Ted Kaczynski's Unabomber Manifesto. He laid it all out there just like James Cameron, but a little bit more explicitly. And then we go to the Paris Olympics. The Olympic village will not allow air conditioning there. And so the U S is going to bring its own air conditioning units. B Y O A C.

Because they said that air conditioning is a very high priority for its athletes to reach peak performance. Well, you know, they're going to Paris, but they're not going to play by the Paris Climate Accord rules. What would that entail? Well, if they played by the same rules of the paris climate accord that would mean that yes the u.s would still not be allowed to have air conditioning but athletes from china and india would because that's what they do under the paris climate accord they take the two most populous countries on earth and let them have as many power plants without any cleaning or filtering or anything it could be as dirty as they want and they can make as many of them as they want while the rest of us have to get rid of ours

so if they were to play in the paris olympics by those rules only the chinese and the indians would get uh air conditioning everybody else would have to sweat it out. And then we have this from The Guardian. As they are pushing the lies about global warming, the headline, Why Pregnant People Are More At Risk During Heat Waves. Pregnant people, who would that be? Again, we're back to Brown Jackson and the pregnant people thing

that she wrote in her decision uh it's it's ridiculous and it's especially everything about this guardian article is ridiculous the fear-mongering the non-science of their sky is falling uh the climate change stuff i, it's all chicken little, isn't it? The bird flu is chicken little. The heat is chicken little. They're about to have an election on the 4th of July next week in the UK. Labor is way out ahead. It's about two to one over the conservative party. I saw they had a debate.

There's a lot of different parties running in the election. And, of course, they are polling in the two top positions. But it's pretty much a dead heat statistically between the conservatives and reform. They should have at least had a three-way there. Can you imagine if they'd had Nigel Farage on with Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer? That would have been something to see. He would have eaten their lunch for sure. But now Labor, which again is the favorite to win,

about two to one where both conservatives and reform are. If the conservatives get out of the way, reform might be able to win this thing. But Labor looks like it's going to win. they're going to create an office of net zero an office of net zero just call it the department of nihilism because that's what this is they're going to push the green agenda as daily skeptic says i'm sorry this is breitbart in the mad dash towards eliminating carbon emissions in Britain, Labour Party leader Keir Starmer's transition team, headed by a former top bureaucrat and chief of staff for Starmer,

will look to establish an office of net zero. So, you know, I have zero tolerance for all this zero nonsense that is out there. Zero is just a code word for destroying everything. They want to destroy all of our material wealth. They want to destroy all of our food. They want to destroy all of our liberty. They want to destroy all of us. It's ultimately about depopulation.

They use zero to strip us. And yet, it's these emperors who have no clothes when are we going to stop this stuff and just tell them to go pound sand and you know rishi sunak has already established the department for energy security and Net Zero last year. So again, conservatives are there before even labor. The only difference is that their office has an oversight role, while the envisioned office of Net Zero by labor will make their office more active in policy. So there you go, the unit party party just like we have here the only difference being in the speed at which they put it out there whichever party is in there first usually it would

be the the left that would move things forward and then the conservatives will make that the new normal right they will make that uh the new baseline it's like a ratcheting effect you're never going to go back but we're going to lock that in okay you guys raise the minimum wage up to here well we're not going to move the minimum wage when we get in backwards we're not going to get rid of the minimum wage we're just going to oppose any increase in the minimum wage from this point on but we'll leave everything that you did in place that's always the way that it is it's a ratcheting effect in this particular case it was the conservatives who did it first. They create a net zero bureaucracy, and then the

left gets in, and they will make it more involved in policy. This unit party approach has been challenged by the pro-energy approach of Nigel Farage's Reform UK, which has vowed to cut all green subsidies, all crony capitalism, which they claim could save the taxpayers 30 billion euros per year over the next 25 years. But see, what's going to happen with that is that the people who are going to get taxed those 30 billion euros are, I'm sorry, not euros or pounds. People are going to have to pay that.

For each of them, it's going to be thousands of dollars perhaps. And that's a lot of money, but it's going to be spread out over a period of time. The people who are going to fight tooth and nail for this are the people, the few people who are going to get the 30 billion pounds. They will, they stand to have this. They've got the biggest incentive and they're going to fight the hardest for this. And this is why government continues to increase. Well, look at this.

And it's like, well, you know, we got to stop. This is unjust and it's corrupt and it's going to make the government worse and more centralized and stronger and all these other things. But, you know, I've got all these things that I've got to do and, you know, what is it going to cost me? You know, if it was going to take out your business,

it's going to shut down your farm or something. Yeah, you'd do something about it. But if it's only going to raise your taxes, most people don't take the time to do it. But the people who are going to get the money from everybody, from everybody, they are going to fight tooth and nail to get that stuff. Farage, the Reform Party, not Farage, but his party, said, Net zero is pushing up bills. It's damaging British industries like

steel it is making us less secure we can protect our environment with more tree planting more recycling and less single-use plastics see this is the bad part though even the reform party is out there playing by the rules and Christopher Monckton I'll get to this coming up here Christopher Monckton says if you're going to play by their rules and christopher monckton i'll get to this uh coming up here christopher monckton says if you're going to play by their rules you've lost already so you don't use their labels you don't let them frame the debate you don't try to craft a policy that is going to be sitting on top of their shifting sands you got to get to bedrock foundation of truth and that means you don't play this emission games well you know this would actually be fewer

emissions if we were to do this we must not impoverish ourselves in pursuit of unaffordable unachievable global co2 targets they said reform has also called for fast-track licenses for companies to drill for natural gas and oil in the North Sea. The party would also open up shale gas fracking test sites for two years and then pursue major production after safety and local compensation schemes are implemented. Farage's party went on to call for a push toward clean nuclear energy, particularly with the creation of new small modular nuclear reactors in britain of course that would be the move to try to make common cause with the people who are standing and make a lot of money you know even the hillary clinton people and the arnold schwarzenegger people and and larry fink all of them are now pushing towards small nuclear reactors. So it's kind of a no-brainer to throw that carrot out to them.

Corporations that concede the science are doomed. Christopher Monckton, he says, and here's an example, he says by, and it's not just corporations, it's us as well. If we're going to concede this quote unquote science, we're doomed. If you concede that there is a virus, that it leaked out of the lab, oh, we got to do something about it. Maybe we should take the vaccine. Maybe we should rush this thing out. You accept their lies and their false premises if you start fretting about co2 or nitrogen or plastics

got a word for you plastics uh if you start following that oh how can we minimize that stuff you've already lost uh by three votes to two he says the uk supreme court ruled last week in a hundred page judgment that the Surrey County Council, in granting planning consent to UK Oil and Gas for oil production at Horse Hill, Surrey, had neither requested nor considered in their assessment an estimate of the CO2 emissions from third parties combusting the 3.3 million barrels of oil that Horse Hill Field might produce over its lifetime and so now the company says now they've lost the supreme court they said well we'll work closely with the

surrey county council to rectify the situation we will do an amendment to the environmental impact assessment or whatever we'll have a new retrospective application we'll try again but he says you know if you're going to play this game, you're going to lose. He said, out of the 100 pages of the judgment, there was only one page that discussed the facts. Only one page out of 100. He said, the reason is that, as usual, the corporations behind the project did not dare to argue against the science.

Don't question any assumptions about CO2 or global warming or any of that. No. Instead, they tamely accepted the party line as a direct result of their failure to get to grips with either the physics or even the economics of global warming, they lost the case. The judgment made no attempt to calculate how much global warming the 10 million tons of CO2 emitted by Horse Hill Project over its lifetime would cause. He said, so let's do something in this case that nobody did, least of all the judges. He said, let's do the math.

He said, so start with the 10.7 million tons of CO2 emitted either directly or indirectly by the project. But this value must be reduced right at the outset because as the judgment says, if the oil at Horse Hill is not extracted, extracted some 40 of the unextracted oil will be extracted somewhere else so again knock that out and then we take a look at the mass of the atmosphere he said according to nasa in 2022 that is 5.1 times 10 to the 15 tons and he says in the current co2 concentration as measured is 427 parts per million therefore the total mass of co2 in the air and he works this out as the number of tons it is and so he says the reduction in co2 concentration by not proceeding with a horse hill project would be this number i'm not going to read all the numbers to you because you can't follow that when we're doing this verbally anyway uh he says the radiative forcing from a change in co2 concentration would be this number and if we want to convert watts per square meter

to warming abated then we do this the bottom line he says that is before we allow for the fact that the decadal rate of global warming in the third of a century since the IPCC in 1990 has been half of what it was then and still is predicted. So half of what they predicted. So let's make that less than one three hundred thousandth of a degree or just one third of one percent of the one one thousandth of a degree that would be abated if the UK actually attained net zero emissions by 2050, which it will not. In other words, he runs out all these different facts. Let's just take a look at how much CO2 are we talking about? It's nothing. And even if you run their estimates, which are consistently wrong, use their math and show that it is going to be less than one three hundred thousandth of a degree change. It's absolutely ridiculous and we just need to put

some cows in the catapults and shoot them at this point scarcely a day passes in the uk without the met office announcing another record temperature but how many of its weather stations are next to airports and solar farms he says every day the met office this is from chris morrison publishes the highest recorded temperature for a number of areas across the four countries in the united kingdom you know england scotland wales ireland every day many of the same sites feature at the top of the various local lists. Last week in Scotland, the measuring station at Edinburgh Botanic Gardens, Glasgow and others featured four days out of seven, along with another one that was up for three days in England. Heathrow and Hull Park, Hull East Park were joined by Killian on four days, along with Usk, Durham,

and Pershore College on three. He said, could it be a coincidence that on such a large island, the hottest days, more often than not, occur in very specific geographical locations? How could it be that it's always the same, yeah, four, three or four days out of seven, the highest temperatures are always in the same places and nowhere else, right? He said, just a few places are so blessed. Well, it's not a coincidence.

He said, the obvious clue is if you look at Heathrow and Hull Park East. Heathrow, of course, is an airport. And that picture right there let's scroll it down a little bit a little bit more so that red dot that's where the temperature reading is it's right there next to a massive solar farm a massive heat island that is right there uh so um you know we talk about man-made global warming could it be that what is man-made about it is our temperature readings could it be that what's man-made about it is that they put their

thumb on the scale to get what they want and then even when they put it up on the maps i've seen several articles talking about how the bbc has changed the colors they made everything more red you know so you have the highest temperatures oh they're really blood red and but even the ones as they pull them down you know they never get off of anything less red than orange to scare people make them think how hot it is. And they showed the colors that they used to use. It's just every bit of it is about propaganda. Someone of a suspicious mind, says this article, might think that they're deliberately adding these junk sites

simply to make current UK temperatures artificially higher. Yeah, someone might think that if they had a suspicious mind. I think I do. Eric, thank you very much for the tip. Thank you very much. Jimz7 says they always violate their own rules. How many gigawatts of energy are wasted by the NFL, by Major League Baseball, by NBA games? That's right, and by CBDC, by the NSA, by the CIA, by their data sites,

by their constant surveillance everywhere. I wonder how much energy they could save by just getting rid of all these cameras that they're putting up everywhere. But then, of course, it's the big computer centers where they store everything that everybody does on the Internet. Storing it for the day in which they have quantum computing and will have the ability to quickly go through and correlate everything and completely profile each and every one of us uh risha m they already tax farmers for every single head of livestock it's bs they want to put them out of business that's the thing you know

again it's also though about killing us all because if it was just about the money people like bill gates would be out there buying up every single farm now he's bought a lot of farmland up not growing anything on it they just want to shut down our food supply atomic dog says so a cow emits six tons of carbon per year that's 33 pounds of dung and gas i would argue the manure has value and it's not polluting and i would argue that this is something that has always gone on and this is if you're trying to tell us that we've got some new existential problem uh why didn't that why wasn't that a problem during the agrarian period or all through the industrial revolution this is nothing that's new you know again they got that oh we got to get rid of the cars the cars are destroying everything and the factories are destroying it no

no now they're coming after cattle that have always been there if we didn't have ac where i live says atomic dog there'd be a lot of dead people yeah uh and you can even see that when uh takes a power out in florida you see people a lot of elderly people in nursing homes die from that just like uh for years after germany was one of the first places to start ramping up the price of energy uh with all these green mandates and so retired people who are on a pension couldn't afford to pay for it so they were shutting it down and they were getting sick and dying from the cold so you know that's the thing extreme cold extreme heat uh and it's not just about um about the quality of life it's even about life expectancy cheap available energy uh affects the quality and the quantity of life ap rumble seat they will tax

us next on exhalation of each breath pay to exist or else yeah atomic dog our electric company offered free smart thermostats they failed to tell people that they could control them. People started coming home to 85-degree homes. That program was scrapped. What a shocker. Yeah. Divided. And that's their intention, too.

You know, with electric cars, they want to use your electric car as a battery for their grid. They'll tell you when and if you can drive divided states cbdc will be the end of freedom when the state controls whether or not you can spend your money they have suspended they have you suspended by the throat unless you are self-sufficient that's absolutely right we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back. Thank you. The David Knight Show you're listening to the david knight show well as they add solar and they add wind everywhere of course the follow-up to that is that they have to add battery energy storage sites and you know um they tend to have fires i talked about this briefly but i didn't show the pictures of it in south korea this is what it looked like

when a lithium battery plant caught fire at least 16 people died in it. It's very difficult, of course, to put out these very radical fires that are there. Here's a news report about their efforts to put this out. Now, a large fire is burning at a lithium battery plant in South Korea. One person is confirmed dead and at least 21 others are unaccounted for. More than 140 firefighters have been sent to the factory to try to stop the spread of the blaze. But fire chiefs say it's impossible for crews to enter because battery cells are constantly exploding. Let's get more on this and talk to Eunice Kim. She joins us on the phone from just south of the capital Seoul. Eunice, sir, this sounds like a pretty big fire. What more can you tell us?

Right, Darren. The Hwasong Fire Department holding their first briefing on this blaze, confirming that the fire's first casualty, and they are also trying to ascertain how many people are trapped inside with some 21 unreachable at this hour, as you noted, so that casualty count will likely creep up. Firefighters have been struggling to even get inside of the three-story structure as the blaze raging since this morning is believed to hold tens of thousands of lithium-ion batteries, which burns hotter and for longer than traditional batteries. Yeah, as a matter of fact, the numbers are 35,000 battery cells on just the second floor where the batteries are inspected

and packaged with more stored elsewhere now if we're going to back up the grid we're going to have massive battery energy storage sites and if you don't want to see this happening in your neighborhood where there's going to be trees and maybe your home we got to do something about these idiots who are doing that and who have absolutely no concern about the cost of electricity they'll just pass it on of course nothing is too expensive to save the planet right we don't care about that here in Tennessee the TVva is talking about putting in these big battery energy storage sites these things that are put together by musk and um

they don't care what it's going to cost people no concern they don't care about the risk of fires either about 100 workers were on the premises at the time at least 21 dead i should have gotten an update on this because this came out a couple of days ago came out the beginning of the week and i have had it here and haven't talked about it i wanted to show that before we went any further they point out in this article they from the bbc they said a lithium fire can react intensively with water so firefighters had to use dry sand to extinguish the blaze. We need to tell these people when they say they want to put a battery energy storage site in our area, we need to tell them to pound sand before the thing catches fire because we'll be pounding sand afterwards.

It took several hours to get it under control. Lithium batteries are at risk of exploding if they're damaged or overheated. While a fire can be extinguished, it remains at risk of reigniting without warning due to a chemical reaction yeah they're like the joke birthday candles they keep relighting and we've seen this over and over again we talk about electric vehicles that catch fire and it you know they use amazing amount of resources try to shut this stuff down they finally get it on something and take it to the junkyard think that it's out and it starts to catch his fire again a couple of days later a green party leader admits that she has a gas boiler oh the shame instead of a heat pump isn't

that amazing no it's just hypocrisy uh they want nothing for you. They will have everything, but you are the one who gets nothing about this. And so when we look at this, the, the, the approach that they're taking, it's always the same stuff. No meat, no dairy, no cows, no, no conveniences that you have in your home either. They have to shut everything. Everything is going to be zeroed out and we should have in your home either. They have to shut everything. Everything is going to be zeroed out, and we should have zero tolerance for this.

Brandon Bennett says, I wonder, is that David picking a guitar, or is it samples? No, that's actually me playing. Well, I guess it's a bit of both in a sense. What happens is when you get these instruments, it's not a loop that i'm putting in there uh and um so what it is is you get different instruments uh it might

be a harp in this particular case an irish harp that you're just listening to or a flute and you play it with a keyboard now the problem is unless you've got a breath controller, which I don't have, you have to go back and you can play. Some of them are smart enough to are starting to get to the point where it can read the way that you're playing. If you play like really short, I'm sorry, they'll put in staccato or staccatissimo or something like that, really short. But many times you have to go in with some of the different types of instruments depending on how the instrument is set up and you have to they'll they'll record these instruments and um they'll take a particular instrument and they'll have people play um all these different notes and they'll have them play it at different volumes because it may sound very different when

you play it uh loudly and then when you play it soft and then they'll have them play it at different volumes because it may sound very different when you play it loudly than when you play it soft. And then they'll have them play long, sustained notes. They'll have them play very short notes and all that type of thing. And so it's kind of this back and forth of trying to get from one articulation to another to make it sound right. And sometimes that can be done in the way that you play or sometimes you have to do it after the fact if they have the stuff that's there

so um it's really um it's really playing the different uh pieces at different parts uh one at a time to put the stuff in there uh that's really the way that it works. I had somebody else talk about this. We had the piece that kind of stumped everybody for a while. And Will wrote this to me. He says, well, even though I was stumped, he said it was a lot of fun. This should be something you do on a regular basis. It adds some beauty and joy and levity to the podcast. He said, by the way, I do have the score for the Cowboys. The suite, the segment you played is sort of buried in the do have the score for the cowboys uh the suite the segment

you played is sort of buried in the middle of the score and that's right uh and i got hung up on the main title for getting that interlude uh the opening title seems to borrow from aaron copeland's rodeo yeah that's true you know just like um the empire strikes back has some similarities to uh mars uh from gustav Holtz. He says, anyway, many thanks for your hard work. Although we're unable to donate this time, you are in our prayers. I really do appreciate that because it is God who ultimately provides. We really do appreciate if people are able to do that,

but that's why we want to leave it as a way that people can listen to it for free. If, you know, if somebody is donating, we want it. The one thing that I would like to be able to do that I can't do cleanly, we do it for the people on Subscribestar. We give them the audio podcast without any commercials. But, you know, the way that a lot of these services do it, like Pandora, you can listen and have commercials, or you can pay a monthly fee and you get it commercial-free. Technical issues have kept us from figuring out how to exactly do that, but that's really where I would like to go. But we don't want to put it behind a complete paywall.

So we're going to take a quick break, and I i'll play the um cowboys um the yellowstone thing here this is uh from john williams soundtrack for the cowboys we'll be right back ORGAN PLAYS © BF-WATCH TV 2021 ORCHESTRA PLAYS © BF-WATCH TV 2021 ¶¶ Defending the American Dream. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Well, Johnny, Freedom Rites, the green agenda is going to destroy the environment. Absolutely true. My son said, I like the strategy to leave the dead trees to start fires. Well, the first times I saw that, even before the massive devastation that happened near Austin, close to where we lived, they had a state park there that had a lot of pine trees that had been planted as part of FDR's make work projects back in the depression. And they had grown to really nice forest.

And just before we moved there, they had a fire. And because they did not get rid of the dead trees and just left them there as fuel, it burned almost 100% of the forest down. It truly was amazing, the devastation. And then spread on to private lands, killing cattle, destroying homes, that type of thing. But prior to that, as we saw the pictures there of Yellowstone, a trip that we took out to Yellowstone with a family back in,

I think it was 2002, they'd had a big fire to even had threatened uh the yellowstone lodge i don't know if that don't remember that's the name of it but it's this lodge and one of the first things that they built in yellowstone massive timbers and this this log uh lodge that was there and it nearly took that out and they were able to save it and get the fire away from it but we're driving along and um it was nice cool weather and we rolled the windows down and just smelling the pines and then all of a sudden boom you hit this land this line right as we got on the government land and it was just devastated with a forest fire. Prior to that, it was the private land where people had been taking care of it.

And then it got into that. Saw it over and over again. Went to Oregon on a reporting trip with Travis, and we talked to a logger who had had his private land destroyed by the negligence of the federal government and this is something that i was told about by my uncle who was a forestry uh he said the forestry department university of missouri and columbia and he was telling me about this in the 70s and what's going to happen with to it so we we've seen that all along jason barker says the issue with lithium ion batteries is that they can produce very high current heat so that when they short out they go into thermal runaway no putting them out well you know it's just this unproven technology and in a marketplace unless this is being coerced and forced down our throats as it is being done, it's a technology that would not be used.

You know, people will be taking a look at some other technologies. Every technology has got issues with it that need to be solved. But we're only allowed to go one direction. You notice that, right? They don't want to do anything with hydrogen electric cars, for example, which have no emissions either. They put out a little bit of water vapor, but they don't want to build an infrastructure with it. And they discourage in many different ways people doing anything with it. They don't subsidize it, push it like they do the EVs.

And I think the reason for that is because they want everybody on the grid. That's why they're focusing on this EV technology that people are not that happy with they want to keep you on the grid but you know as we're talking about the neglect uh and and the devastation that is done by their policies where they don't care about the environment um even though they call themselves environmentalists, it's really more of a religion for them. And it's not about stewardship. That was another thing that my uncle always talked about. He said, yeah, we always talk about stewardship and conservation, taking care of the land. These radical environmentalists, it's like this religious thing with them.

Don't touch it. It's sacred, right? And we are put here, you know, God has put together an amazingly complex world. And, you know, night after night it pours out speech, but it doesn't say anything. But the, you can see creation. You can see that it's designed, you can see how complex and complementary

all these different systems are that God has put together, and you don't need to be told that. It speaks for itself, speaks silently. And these people worship it as if it somehow came together by chance. And so it's very special. You know, don't touch it at all. That's the New Age superstition. It really is.

You know, the sacred earth Gaia that you must bow down to. Be careful. You know, don't leave a footprint there. It's not about, this is a very different approach than what we get out of the Bible. That God has created this, he's built it, he sustains it, but we are here to work it, to till it, to make it sustainable, and to maintain it. We're kind of the maintenance crew for what God has created.

They don't look at it like that at all. Soaker Joe 2 says, there is no such thing as self-sufficient. If you don't pay your taxes, they'll seize your property. If you don't submit to the new money system, you won't be able to pay your taxes. Well, again, I think that it is, I think that if we were to do something locally i think it really would make a difference uh but it has to be a lot of people who are awakening to this or you have to keep a low profile uh one guy that i knew back in north carolina said well if it all hits the fan i know how to survive on my own i can go go out without any fingerprint. And he says, they'll never find me. So, I mean, that's one way to look at it in terms of being self-sufficient.

You'd have to have absolutely nothing, I guess. Don't frag me, bro. We will all have to make a choice as to what hill we're willing to die on, especially when they collapse the system and force biochip implants. That's right. There will be a point, and we've reached that point in the Netherlands, in New Zealand, other places like that. The farmers said, okay, that's enough.

That's enough. You see it with the farmers. You see it with the truckers. You're going to see it with people who actually are the ones that we really rely on, that do the real work, that do the heavy rely on that do the real work they do the heavy lifting that do the real stuff everybody else is you know uh on top of that and maybe being paid more than those people who are doing the vital stuff but they are the foundational thing and they can bring it all to a halt they really can't atomic dog i know dave's an engineer he understands the

amazing amount of potential a lithium battery has i've seen these batteries short and act like a solid rocket propellant wow impressive but dangerous yeah it is true it is amazing you know when you look at the power and electricity i remember working on my car um in the footwell i was doing i think it was stereo stuff or something like that was in high school and um uh i had not disconnected the battery when i was working and i shorted something out there and this big flash in my eyes and just vaporized some metal there and i'm thinking wait a minute that was only uh i was in high school i I was like, but that was like 12 volts and I can put my fingers on it. But when you get something that's zero resistance, the battery has a lot of power involved in it.

So yeah, the lithium batteries, I've never played around with those things, but I imagine it is really something to behold. Is China hiding how much gold it really has this is an article from michael uh mahari and tony's not going to be joining us today but i do want to talk about that i do want to talk it's an excellent article uh on rt uh it's not written by well it's written by somebody for them but um it really goes into what's going on with the petrodollar and the reserve status of the u.s but is china hiding how much gold it really has the fact that the people's bank of china their

central bank didn't buy gold in may is certainly interesting but it hardly counts as earth-shaking news standing pat for one month doesn't mean that China has stopped buying gold, as some news outlets have framed it. Before that news, China had bought gold for 18 straight months, and it ranked as the biggest central bank gold buyer in 2023. Officially, their central bank added more than 300 tons of gold to its reserves during the buying spree many analysts have long thought that china has far more gold than it officially reports jim rickards pointed out on mese's daily back in 2015 that many analysts believe that china keeps several thousand tons of gold off the books in a separate entity called the state administration of foreign exchange they call it that spells safe they keep it in a safe chen long is the founder and lead

economist for a company called plenum he starts by pointing out that chinese central bank gold purchases are a drop in the bucket compared to the country's gold imports the country imported over 1400 tons of gold in 2023 this despite the fact that china ranks as the world's largest gold producer chinese mines dug up 375 tons of gold in 2023 that they admit yeah and that's one of the things that tony i talked about many times the fact that uh gold how much gold they have and all the different countries they guard that as a secret more so than they do the number and location of their nuclear weapons why is that and of course the amount of gold that they are adding to secretly that they mine they're not going to talk about that either in other words there's a lot of gold flowing into china and the

country exports very little of it only a handful of commercial banks hold licenses to import gold due to the central bank's tight regulation of the market so that allows them to kind of get a you know ballpark guess as to what is going on with the central bank when you dig into the numbers total official gold holdings by the central bank retail buyers and the big commercial banks only rose by 431 tons last year total gold imports and production came in at 1775 tons so that's a gap of more than 1300 tons over the last two years there have been about 2700 tons of gold unaccounted for so where did that go long side it is common to see gaps between these figures, but they're usually within a few hundred tons at most. Such a huge gap like this is rare.

So where is it? How do we account for the missing gold? Well, he said there's three possibilities. Number one, the central bank in China could have bought more gold than it reported. They've massively increased their gold position. If they have, it may want to withhold a full disclosure in order to avoid shocking the market. Second possibility is China's sovereign wealth fund holds some of that missing gold.

And a third possibility is that other numbers have been fudged. In other words, like most governments, they don't tell you the truth or the whole truth. Chinese commercial banks may have overstayed the reduction in their gold holdings while household gold purchases were understated. So we don't really know what is happening with that, but we do know as we look at the United States,

we've gone from Fort Knox that had a lot of gold and we're backing the U.S. dollar to the Petrodollar as people realized that that was fraudulent. They were lying to people about that. You know, it's interesting all the talk about what happened to the Petrodollar. The Atlantic did a retraction. It was widely reported over the last couple of weeks. Oh, yeah, this petrodollar agreement uh

disappeared well as our this rt article points out that agreement was a piece of fiction the spurious reports appear to originate in india or or in some crypto website investment websites there was an official agreement between the u.s and saudi arabia that was signed in june of 1974 and another secret one that was reached later that year according to which the saudis were promised military aid in exchange for recycling their oil proceeds into u.s treasuries the deal whereby riyadh would sell its oil in dollars was informal and there was no expiration date that's what i was saying from the beginning it's like well i know okay there's this agreement that uh you know we give them weapons and we give them protection and they do all the trading in u.s dollars to help us to be the reserve global

currency but i've never seen the agreement and nobody had any specifics about it turns out that there wasn't literally an agreement it really grew up um kind of de facto and organic as a lot of it was and it was but it was based on this defense agreement it said this fiction however points to an underlying truth of the petrodollar was and has entered a long twilight from which there will be no return. No other economic arrangement has done more to ensure American preeminence over the last half century. And so it is being very heavily targeted and attacked by Russia, by China, by everybody who is an enemy of what Karl Rove says is an American empire.

So all the people who want to take down the empire, they're all focused on this. It's going to have massive economic consequences for all of us if we don't have at least a foot or something outside of the system. It's ultimately America's inability and unwillingness to maintain this backing that is gradually dooming the system. In exchange for agreeing to sell their oil and dollars, Saudi Arabia became a protectorate of the U.S. military. Many people have seen this deal as a kind of godfather thing, making you an offer that you can't refuse. As we talked about before, Kissinger, Schlesinger, who was the defense secretary,

they openly talked about what they might do to take over the oil fields in case OPEC tried to strangle the West. And as this RT article says, it apparently has worked out well for the Saudis because unlike a lot of Arabic oil producing nations, there hasn't been a civil war there. There hasn't been a color revolution that the U.S. does with their regime change operations. look at what the american government has done and what they're doing right now in terms of interest rates they compare it to paul voker uh very uh very very high interest rates and uh drove the u.s into a deep recession and made everybody's lives a lot more difficult and they said it showed at that point in time he really strengthened it when we got into the late 70s,

because he showed that he was willing to put the strength of the dollar over and above the U.S. economy. And I think that's something that we're starting to see now. It made clear that international considerations, specifically the defense of the dollar, were influencing American economic policy to a degree that was unparalleled in the post-war period. That's what the New York Times said about it, about Volcker's policies. And so, in other words, they prioritized their dollar over our economy. And I think that is the type of thing that we've been seeing the opposite of. Well, we've seen parts of that. But it's always, as Tony has said, it is about them preserving their fiat currency to the extent they can because that is their power. And so when it comes to politics or anything else, they're not necessarily going to drop the interest rates to help Biden.

They're going to try to preserve their power. The perception was created at that time that the U.S. was willing to subject its own economy to pain, as Volcker put the U.S. through two punishing recessions, in order to preserve the value of the U.S. dollar for all global players. But then everything changed in the 2000s period in 2003 to 2008 when everything kind of blew up in 2008 at that point in time uh oil moved to the top of its 30-year range over the next couple of years oil prices would rise steadily before peaking at 145 dollars per barrel in july of 2008 another way to think about this is that a drop in the value of the dollar against oil an ominous development for those who are holding dollars and buying oil and who is it that is the

biggest importer of oil china so because this was a power a big power of the United States gave them their key part of their power. And because they were a big buyer of oil, China has been motivated to get rid of this in any way possible. And yet, it was Biden who really did it for them. Since 2008, they've been looking for a way to weaken and to get rid of the dominance of the U.S. dollar. And they wanted to be able to just print currency like we do in order to buy oil. And as they put it in this article, finally, under Biden, the U.S. obliged and did it for them. In March of 2009, the head of the People's Bank of China issued a boldly titled white paper called

Reform the International Monetary System, and it called for a neutral reserve asset to replace the dollar-centric system. China, the world's largest importer of oil, had made it clear its desire was to be able to purchase oil using its own currency that they could print it also has cut back on buying u.s treasuries and been acquiring gold at a blistering pace both clear votes of no confidence in the dollar uh but um it's really just been within the last couple of years that saudi arabia has openly gone along with this and other nations are going along with it and you want to talk about a domino theory this is the domino theory the one that they don't

want to talk about so if you want to try to get something that is outside of this system that is under collapse uh and it's and it's being attacked from the inside as well as from the outside because again i think when they talk about america first i think many of these people will say and it's being attacked from the inside as well as from the outside. Because, again, I think when they talk about America first, I think many of these people will say, we've got to take America down first. It's not Americans first. It's America first. We are the first target. If you want to have something that's going to be outside of this,

make sure that you've got some gold or silver. They just had a dip in the price of Bitcoin. And I thought it was interesting because they said, and I forget the exact amount, it was maybe $240 million worth of Bitcoin that they had taken out of Silk Road at one point in time. And so this massive dump of Bitcoin. And they traced it back to a U.S. government wallet.

And so I thought, there's a couple of interesting things about that. You know, they manipulate every market. They're capable of manipulating the crypto markets with things like that. They and other people are as well. Of course, they manipulate the gold market, the silver market. They manipulate the stock market. They manipulate the dollar. Everything out there that is financial, they're manipulating.

But there are certain things that I think if you keep them private, the other thing was the privacy aspect of it. I've said before that I thought it was very surprising when some billionaire was notified by some guy and said, why didn't you sell $900,000 worth of Bitcoin? He said, I didn't sell $900,000 worth of Bitcoin. He said, well, yeah, you did. I could tell this is attached to your wallet. This is your wallet. And so he checked.

And yeah, somebody had taken nearly a million dollars out of his wallet. He didn't even know it. And he's a billionaire. So first of all, anything that's electronic can easily be hacked uh you are at risk to thieves from all over the world not just the ones in your neighborhood and uh every there is no anonymity you know just like with this recent everybody's saying what what happened why did the price of bitcoin go down well 240 million or whatever dumped into the market sold into the market and they go back and they trace it and they find that it's the u.s government because there's nothing anonymous about any of that i mean there are some cryptocurrencies that are out there

pirate coin monero uh they uh are at least for the time being you know before they get to a quantum um quantum computing they are anonymous i don't know what happens at that point in time uh but um there's no anonymity to it you know cash gold silver things like that there is anonymity and that is very important so if you want to get into that uh david knight dot gold to take you to tony arteman and uh he has wise wolf gold by the way tony will be doing his program today immediately following this one so make sure you tune into that on twitter and elsewhere and uh uh you'll find out what tony is is um uh following at the moment i don't know if he's if he's anticipating the stupid debate tonight i doubt it i'm sure that he's on to something that's far more real but if you want

to go to wise wolf we can help you with a group buying program where you can gradually accumulate on a monthly basis you decide how much you want to put into it he's got different levels that are there and so you can gradually start to accumulate gold or silver and or silver. You can buy either of those in large or small quantities. Again, Tony Arderman, you can find him with David Knight dot gold. I'll let him know that you're coming through us. Some of the comments here, George Madonna. Thank you very much.

That is very kind and generous. I appreciate that. He says, hi, David and family making up for lost time. My apologies. God bless you guys. Thank you very much that is very kind and generous i appreciate that he says hi david and family making up for lost time my apologies god bless you guys thank you very much that is a blessing george thank you i appreciate that um octo spook i put an uh one eight six five zero lithium in my pocket shorted with keys burnt me badly but cured my ignorance of lithium battery says dangerous is carrying a car battery in your pocket yeah i bet um uh dg8 david notice all over the world people notice tyrannical government and don't support it but in the usa they beg for more government under a different ruler yeah yeah or even under the same ruler that i just had the guin fan david paul

harvey said in his if i were the devil speech what would we be praying our father who art in washington he said that's what we would be praying that seems like what we're doing now isn't it little john says everyone is buying gold and silver from tony as my son says because it's good service that's absolutely right we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back. Thank you. Making sense common again. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Well, welcome back. I also want to thank people who have put in checks over the past two weeks. Now, these we did include in the gas gauge, but I just wanted to give people a shout out.

George and Shauna T. John and Beth J. David and Deborah W. Stephanie K. John R. David and Anne Marie N. Brian and Hannah V. William G.

Jeremy W. Scott C. Margaret Mary T. Peter G. Scott and Samantha T. Kelly and Phillip M. Jackie and Fred U. and Walter Y. Thank you very much. I appreciate that. And we do want to read out the checks when we get them from people because I know a lot of people, you know, are, oh, they'll see the checks canceled.

But a lot of people, because they don't get any immediate feedback from that because it's going through the mail. So thank you very much. I appreciate that. Let's talk a little bit about the idols of this world as we're heading into this personality debate tonight. The modern idols of the world, transgenderism, for example. This is an op-ed piece from the center. They pointed out one of the things that was really abominable on the side of God,

when you look at Israel in the Old Testament, was the sacrifice of children to false gods. And isn't that where we are today? We sacrifice the lives of our kids with abortion. If they survive, we sterilize them, mutilate them. And the contemporary form of idolatry rejects the natural order created by God. Instead, exalts self-definition and personal desire above everything else. and so it is really foundational to our human identity when we look at how we move forward from this he says what about the call to love and acceptance you know that is the key thing that is

the strategy at which christians lay down their faith and walk away from it isn't it oh we got to be loving and acceptable of all this. Now, true love of God does not affirm sin. It does not attend gay weddings or practice pronoun hospitality. Instead, it calls for repentance and faith, he says. In John 8, that was the woman caught in adultery. Jesus tells her to go and sin no more and that is really the heart of the gospel grace and truth without compromising either one of them he says where are your accusers well neither do i condemn you go now and sin no more so in god's love he calls us to repentance, not to an affirmation of sin. And a part of that is so that we can have a relationship with him.

You know, when we are indulging in our sin, as Bob Dylan said in his song, he said, you're going to serve somebody. Yeah, you're going to serve somebody. It may be the devil, it may be the Lord, but you're going to have to serve somebody. So that is the issue when we create these idols in our lives this kind of pagan idolatry and um uh part of what we see from that is this idea that uh sex is above everything else that's one of the things that's so disturbing about these people that are being picked by biden when you look at them their whole life is assumed into by their sexual um this is just say politely their activities their perversions or whatever uh you look at people like

sam britton uh you look at this person that he's just uh put into another position uh somebody like um the guy who calls himself rachel levine you know everything they do is focused on that as a matter of fact uh rachel levine uh wants kids to be able to have um this kind of transgender mutilation at any age and that's not surprising because what did he do he was a child psychologist what do you think that was about just like if you look at sam brenton he was part of a group that mentored uh disturbed teens who were unsure of their sexuality well you know somebody like brenton who dresses up in these weird outfits and bondage outfits and everything i'm sure that he'd be able to help them get their head straight, you think? No, no.

These people are there as predators. And this is a kind of slavery that we enslave ourselves to. He said these people want sex. Their entire world revolves around sex. Quite literally, they worship sex. It is an idol to them. And that's why when we look at this, we say, I don't know this guy's necessarily serious enough that we would want him focusing on nuclear waste issues.

That seems like that might be a little bit dangerous to have somebody like that in that position, too preoccupied with their private sex life and making that public. But I think all this comes back to, you know, we've talked many times about Augustine and his just war theory. And I think he really laid it out comprehensively but there was something else that he's even more famous for and that was his idea that there's two cities that there's the city of god and um and that is what we need to be focused on there's an interesting op-ed piece on a world and it's um the title of it is augustine and the ballot box and he said you know there's a lot of parallels to where we are in this society today versus where rome was with augustine

in his lifetime the roman empire was in decline and falling he said um in this op-ed piece, you know, when people look at Rome, it is the quintessential Western Empire, a thousand years or so. The situation confronting 5th century Roman Empire on the eve of its collapse holds a superficial similarity to contemporary America. Out-of-touch elites were governing Rome. People had lost faith in governmental institutions. A stark divide existed between the needs of rural and urban populations. And citizens faced economic uncertainty as the government manipulated the currency by experimenting with different coinage. Wow. Checks all those boxes today, doesn't it? Rome even had its own immigration crisis, failing to assimilate the German Goths,

who a generation earlier sought asylum in the empire when fleeing from the Huns. Other German tribes illegally crossed Rome's porous border, exasperating an already desperate problem. So on August 24th, 410, Germanic Goths led by their king, Alaric, sacked the city of Rome, the first time foreign enemies had breached the city walls in 800 years. And news of the devastation shook the foundations of the empire. The empire's mood darkened over the following months as the government failed to contain the failure.

But during this destruction, Augustine of Hippo wrote one of Christianity's greatest literary works, The City of God. And he argued that the city of God and the city of man are not the same thing. This writer says, This is a timely reminder for Americans as our country finds itself in the midst of another election cycle.

And he points out that he began this work because there was, and you still see this train of thought with a lot of historians, they blame the fall of Rome. They said, ah, it got soft because it became Christian. This was about 100 years after Constantine had become a Christian, and after him, all of the Roman Empire would swear to Christianity. Of course, he set up the eastern capital in Constantinople, not Istanbul, which is what it which became later i always laugh because of that song um but anyway he uh uh so a lot of people said well the thing that went wrong with rome and people will still say today was it got soft because of christianity and so uh for augustine uh he wanted to first attack that but then he expanded it into looking at the city of God versus the city of man.

As this writer says, for many, both left and right today, politics has become a religion. But it is a religion that is filled with fear and trembling because the whims of a voting populace, in which each half distrusts the other, shapes the world's destiny rather than the designs of a good and sovereign God. I've said many times that when Hillary Clinton talks about the politics of meaning, I said the saddest thing about that is that she looks to politics for meaning in her life. For her, that's everything. That to politics for meaning in her life. For her, that's everything. That's the sum total of her life. It's what she's able to achieve in politics. And of course, she wasn't able to achieve what she wanted. We don't live, those of us who look for the city of

God, those of us who are citizens of the city of God, don uh define our lives that way it's got to be a very frustrating thing and i really do feel sorry for people like trump and by like hillary and biden that's all that they've got and when you when i play those clips i played earlier this week of trump uh asked by people will you ever ask god for forgiveness and of course we know that he needs it we all need forgiveness he has nothing that he can do with his sin and that is typical of most religions most religions don't have uh a some they have works that they need to do to make up for the mistakes or the rebellion that they've had in their life but they can never know that they did enough. You know,

you can talk to a Muslim and doesn't matter what they do. It may be even if they, um, uh, maybe the only thing is if they can take out a bunch of infidels or whatever, I don't know. I'm don't study their theology, but it's all about works.

And that's characteristic of man's religion. It's all about trying to justify yourself before God. That's what's all about works. And that's characteristic of man's religion. It's all about trying to justify yourself before God. That's what's different about Christianity. It's that Christ justified us. Christ did what we could not do. He did it completely. And it's a free gift. That's the amazing thing.

It surprises me that people don't rely on that more i guess there's a lot of cynicism you know when you offer somebody something for free oh it can't be that good well actually it is our impulse though is to rely on a benevolent dictator who's going to give us what we want in this life and whenever we do that you know by by saying uh that we're going to uh trust in washington trust in a president all that does is make us more fearful more insecure and with good reason because we're asking for a dictator um so uh as he points out he said the situation in fifth century rome on the eve of its collapse uh has a superficial similarity to where we are today he said while italy burned augustine served as

a bishop in a small town of hippo in the roman province of africa modern day algeria through though hippo lay across the mediter, hundreds of miles from Rome, those living there saw firsthand the effects of the empire's collapse as they had refugees flooding into North Africa. Fifth century Christians often viewed Rome as a Christian empire. And many American Christians fall into this same trap, talking about the United States as if it is analogous to the city of god rather than just another manifestation of the city of man then he talks about here around senator ted cruz will talk about that all the time of course it was

reagan who famously talked about the city on the hill. Now Ted Cruz talks about it 40 years later, 45 years later. But prior to that, Reagan wasn't the one to come up with that analogy. Other people had come up with that going back to the founding of this country. But he said, Christians began to expect more from politics than it can ever deliver. We start to look at it that way, he said, Augustine worked on the city of God for over 15 years, explored the interplay between the city of God and the city of man and a book

that would run up to a thousand pages. The initial goal was to answer the critics, uh, the criticism of pagans who blame the Roman empire's precarious situation on its embrace of Christianity. The Sack of Rome took place about 100 years after Constantine began favoring Christianity, and so a lot of them were saying this is the fault of the Christian nationalists, something that we see again today. In Augustine's day, many Christians had adopted Eusebius' idea

that the Roman Empire was the manifestation of Jesus' coming kingdom. We see that all the time in our politics. It's amazing how many people do that about Israel, how many people do that about America. They don't see the difference between the city of God and the city of man. And once they make that leap, they'll embrace all kinds of actions because, hey, I'm doing it to serve God, whatever it is that I'm doing. Tornader, thank you very much for the tip. Swirling Goy says, if you want to make a society to crumble, make nudity and promiscuity the norm.

It will take time, but it will crumble into dust. Yeah, it has with the LGBT pride parades. Last year, I talked about somebody was disgusted that Karen saw something somewhere where there was literally men parading down the street stark naked uh somebody last year called up the police and said i want to report a man who's naked on the street says oh where is he tells me oh she said uh such and such places oh that's just the pride parade don't worry about that like how does that get a pass oh well they put a pass on pretty much everything they put a pass on mutilating kids they put a pass on saying the kids don't um you you can't stop them from doing this even though we have all kinds of activities and always have had all kinds of activities that children are not mature enough to decide they want to participate in but hey when it comes to the lgbt agenda oh well

we throw that all away um don't frag me bro responded soiling ghost said throw in some materialism some drugs and some visual programming and the process accelerates you'll own nothing and be happy of course we will steal your property kidnap your children we'll feed you drugs that make you think you're happy so i said I don't think this radical individualism nonsense helps either. We excel through family and community, not individualism. And, you know, there's we just have to keep things in balance. I think, you know, there is something to be said for the individual. We have to learn how to rule ourselves as individuals.

We also need to understand how to rule ourselves as individuals we also need to understand how to function in community and how to function in family but we got to do all three of those it's just that our unbalanced society has put everything into government everything is about government and and it's really sad to see that uh people conservatives are just as dependent on getting meaning and getting what they want out of life they're just as dependent on government as all the socialists and communists that i've watched all of my life and and it's a sad thing to see um uh goes on to say um let's say uh be careful because the individual is very important the only just uh justice system might recognize the rights and sovereignty of the individual if you

ignore the individual then you are embracing collectivism and that is just a euphemism for totalitarianism i agree um one comment here says about the debate tonight uh they will dress it up though they'll make it look like these two senile puppets are capable of being walmart greeters yeah that's right trump was talking about how franklin graham had contacted him said hey i want you to you know think about cleaning up your language a little bit and then he goes on and on about how oh no it's really important that i be able to uh emphasize uh you know for the point of emphasis uh well whatever franklin graham was saying there's kids watching it and

that type of thing that's why we try to um keep it clean with our guests here but uh i remember and i've told the story before uh about how we went to see uh penn and teller um we were on a vacation they were performing and um enjoyed the show and the humor and what they were doing until they decided that they would stop in the middle of the show and lecture everybody about how much they hated god and uh and uh penn was saying um he said when people use the f word he said it's just because they don't have any vocabulary and they sound really stupid. He said, every other word is an F word. If you look at some people in some of the movies, and of course, Robert De Niro is one of the best examples of that or worst examples, I guess. And he said, so I don't do that. He said, I want to have a better vocabulary and it's ridiculous. He said that a lot of people who are writers don't have a better vocabulary than that.

They use it as every form of speech. They use it as an adverb, a verb, an adjective, and all this other kind of stuff. And he said, no, I don't do that. Instead, he said, I want to deliberately blaspheme God. So I use Jesus Christ's name in vain. And so he starts going on with that and we just we were in the middle of this it was like a big circular table and we were in the smack dab middle of it and we made about ten people get up out of

the table to let us get out of there because it's like I'm not staying here while he's doing that that's the one that really bothers me I don't really care that much uh about the f word try not to use it because it's coarse but try not use it because we have kids who listen to the program it'll be interesting night to see what um what trump does if he's going to get really frustrated uh turning his microphone off i don't know if that's going to do anything for him or not he's got a pretty loud voice he may scream over that he may curse over that who knows what he's going to do if he thinks that that is a very effective rhetorical principle uh i think as uh penn was saying it reflects a lack of vocabulary we certainly

certainly see that in donald trump he doesn't have he thought it was a real big deal and he thought it was intellectual showboating or pedantry pedagogy to for somebody to say uh existential oh that sounds really important doesn't it is that is that a big word for you donald uh that's not something that you typically talk about an existential threat with all of the stuff around they're always hearing about existential threats uh about covid about every mcguffin the climate especially it's all existential threats about everything and yet it seemed to be a new word for him new word for the week but uh as we move forward we want to make sure that we don't put our trust uh in what is happening in this world he said some

contemporary going back to this op-ed piece, he said some contemporary conservative politicians like Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri claim that America is a Christian nation because the founders said so. But do the founders or contemporary politicians get to decide or does God? Some also claim the country must turn back to God if it is to achieve its former glory.

Even some pastors succumb to this politicized rhetoric that portrays the goal of Christian religion as restoring and supporting a proper social order. Well, I think that it is clear that it is clear principle throughout the Bible that God deals with us as individuals. And he also deals with nations as well you know the nations don't really have any any way that they can they typically wind up raging against god and his anointed don't they but uh god does bless nations that follow him he does many times offer them a chance to repent as he did with nineveh and sending jonah to nineveh and he held his hand of judgment uh until they returned to their ways and then he eventually did judge nineveh but um you know when we look at this that is the good news about this i think besides the best news about the grace of God and the forgiveness through Christ,

is the fact that this is not something that is dependent on us having to do it collectively. You know, we're just having that discussion back and forth about individualism. Your relationship with God is individual. You know, everybody in your family could have a relationship with God, but it's still up to you, right? That's not going to get you a relationship with God, but it's still up to you, right? That's not going to get you a relationship with God. You have to establish that as an individual. And that's why we look at this collective issue. God has blessed America, I think,

because Americans were looking to God. That is a clear principle throughout the Bible, that God does do that type of thing. But it is not the sort of thing where we want to put that kind of, we don't put our hope in the collective reform of America. Yes, it would be good if America were following that because there will be consequences if it doesn't. But we can still, whatever happens with Trump, whatever happens with this election and Biden and all the rest of this stuff, it really does come back to us as individuals. Just like I said before, all politics is local.

Well, your religion and your relationship with God is as local as it gets. It ultimately is between you and God, and they can't take that away from you no matter what happens. Things can get very difficult under the circumstances, but our hope and our great expectation is that we can have that relationship with God no matter what happens. With Trump, no matter what happens with Biden, no matter what happens with this election, our life does not depend on it. And even if our life depended on it, our life is but a tiny little blip in eternity. And so the key thing is you have to look at your relationship

as a citizen of the city of God. And that's what I think he's trying to say. He's trying to say that the city of man offers no hope. And that's especially true when the city of man is the district of Columbia. There's not going to be any hope at all in the district of Columbia. It has turned its back on the principles and the law that is there as well as on god and there are consequences for us as individuals blessing and curses there's not any individual there's not some neutral area there right everything is always a blessing or

curse that's true of us individually it's true of us as a nation as well i think uh but um yeah the uh the good news is that the city of god is something that is far more important and outside of the city of man i'll have a good night if you want to watch the debate we'll talk about it tomorrow and do a post-mortem The Common Man. They created Common Core to dumb down our children. They created Common Past to track and control us. Their Commons Project to make sure the commoners own nothing. And the communist future.

They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away.

Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find at thedavidknightshow.com. Thank you for listening. Thank you for listening.
