Using free speech to free minds. You're listening to The David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it's Thursday the 29th of February, Year of Our Lord 2024. Well, on this extra day of February, we're going to begin by talking about the history of not just the pandemic, but the guy who really was there from the very beginning.
Starting point is 00:02:06 And I mean the very beginning, 2001, 9-11, Alex Azar. The guy that Trump put in as head of HHS, who did his emergency order before Trump. And he has a very long history going back to 9- going back to the anthrax attack yes he was uh he was the guy he was the guy the beginning and the end the alpha and omega of this whole scam that ran for 20 years but we're going to begin with the news and talking about what is happening with gun control. We'll be right back. Well, the headline says the supreme court appears to be split over a ban on bump stocks enacted under trump what headline is this you'll never see trump's name mentioned with any of this stuff at breitbart or info wars or uh you know you, WND, all the conservative media, they will not associate him with these types of things.
Starting point is 00:03:28 So who was it that did this? I saw this, I clicked on it, it's like New York Times. Yeah, the left will. They're proud of the fact that he worked with them on gun control, as he promised to do, as he went around the table with the late Dianne Feinstein frankenstein uh and hey i can do something's going to make diane happy well i guess she's uh uh i don't know if she's happy where she is right now not justice has wrestled with the mechanics of gun triggers
Starting point is 00:03:57 and the larger implications of the ban both for bump stock owners and for the public. See, that's the key. It's not about the mechanics of firing a gun. It's about the larger implications of a ban, a ban being done by the executive. The first time that any president had the audacity to infringe the second amendment, they usually leave those privileges in the past to congress or to the judiciary and unfortunately it was a very bad precedent by president trump the justices appear to be split largely along ideological lines over the ban which prohibits
Starting point is 00:04:39 the sale and the possession of bump stocks you, that's why you had to have Trump. You know that all hell would have broken loose if it had been Hillary Clinton who had done this. If Hillary Clinton had come in and said, I'm going to sign an executive order to do gun control, can you imagine what the reaction would have been? Do you think that the NRA would have taken a pass as they did when it was Trump? Perhaps Wayne Lampierre was too busy taking vacations on his private jets.
Starting point is 00:05:10 But the gun owners of America were not asleep. And neither was Michael Cargill of Central Texas Gun Works. A good guy in Austin. And he's got a gun store there. He ran for a local office. Unfortunately, the people of Austin are not wise enough to elect somebody like Michael Cargill, but he is fighting this all the way up to the Supreme court. And, um, and it needs to be fought. And it was a shame that the NRA took a pass on it, but the gun owners ofica understood this is important as a precedent the implications
Starting point is 00:05:46 of a ban being done by the president uh much much worse than something that's done you know an infringement of the second amendment an infringement essentially of our god-given rights is what it's about that they're prohibited from doing as a condition of their office. Anybody who has federal office as a congressman, federal office as a judge. At BetMGM, Ontario's best casino action is just a click away.

Starting point is 00:06:40 My car needed repairs, but I could only pay for half of them. An easy loan through Lamina.ca made the difference between stressed out driving and a smooth ride to work.

They take an oath as a condition of their office not to infringe our God-given rights.
Starting point is 00:07:16 And yet they do. But when it can be done by one individual rather than trying to have to get a consensus on a court or a consensus in a Congress. It's much, much more dangerous what Trump did. The case does not turn on the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms, says Reason. And Reason is absolutely dead wrong about this. Reason is as wrong about this as they are about the First Amendment,
Starting point is 00:07:43 and they've chimed in on that again as well. Reason has jumped in on the side of the corporations, saying corporations should be able to censor people. You know, they're people too. Yeah, they're an entity. As a matter of fact, corporations are better than you and I. Corporations have more money. Corporations have, at least on this earth, perpetual life.
Starting point is 00:08:03 We'll call it perpetual life. It's not eternal life. This world's going to end. And so are these corporations someday. But, you know, closest thing to eternal life that you can get is a corporation outside of a bureaucracy on this world, right? As Ronald Reagan said, the bureaucracies have eternal life. But the corporations nearly do.
Starting point is 00:08:24 And so they're obviously better than you and i according to a lot of libertarians and conservatives who think that they ought to be the ones calling the shots even though they don't like it you know over and over again reason said i i don't like it john stossel said i don't like it they're censoring me but i just have to stand for the corporations because corporations can do no wrong in the eyes of conservatives and libertarians. Leave them alone. They can do no wrong. If they do wrong, of course, people will stop buying their products and they'll go away.
Starting point is 00:08:54 Well, it hasn't worked out that way, has it? Have you noticed how the ESG and DEI stuff works? Yeah, we did have the Bud Light boycott, but it didn't end budweiser they'll come back they can weather this you know they can raise money on wall street it's not going to be fatal to them they don't go away even with big boycotts and it's very rare that that happens so um reason kato the think tank libertarian think tank, Heritage Foundation, biggest conservative think tank, they've always been on the side of censoring companies, companies who censor on social media against us. They always said it was their prerogative.
Starting point is 00:09:39 They had to pull back, and I thought they'd learned their lesson when we had the documents that were part of the Twitter files showing that there was, the federal government was coordinating this in both the Biden administration and also during the Trump administration, telling people, telling them who to censor. But now, even with that physical evidence, even with the receipts, you still have reason out there reverting back to the old idea that corporations should be able to censor whoever they wish. They're no different on this than CNN. Isn't that amazing? Strange bedfellows for different reasons. Of course, the Democrats believe that government can never do anything wrong. Many of the conservatives and libertarians believe that corporations can never do anything wrong. Many of the conservatives and libertarians believe that corporations can never do anything wrong. Here's the reality. They're two sides of the same coin now. The big corporations are no different than big government,
Starting point is 00:10:36 and they're colluding together. And when they collude together, they do wrong things. They do some of the biggest wrong things that anybody could ever do. When you've got big business and big government colluding together, that is fascism. And they collude together to destroy the Constitution all the time. And so it does turn on Second Amendment rights to keep and bear arms
Starting point is 00:10:57 because it infringes on those. The ATF's very existence, which I'm very surprised about reason. Again, they take more of a pragmatic approach than a liberty approach, just as the Cato Institute does. They're not going to call for the abolition of the IRS. They want to quibble over how the deck chairs are arranged on the Titanic. And they're not going to call for the abolition of the ATF either, which if you're going to support the Second abolition of the ATF either, which if you're going to support the second amendment, the ATF has got to go and the national firearms act and all the rest of this
Starting point is 00:11:31 stuff. Uh, and again, they point out, uh, this all came from, you know, the bump stock.
Starting point is 00:11:36 Isn't it interesting that this precedent was set by Trump instead of Hillary and that this Trump precedent was predicated on one of the most suspicious shootings we've ever had. And that's the Las Vegas shooting. Yes, people died. I had Steve Pachinik come on and say, nobody died. Again, another clue about how this whole thing is set up by the intelligence community.
Starting point is 00:12:02 So when Steve Pachinik is pushing a narrative. Nobody done. Now, people died. It makes it more effective. The question is, there are so many, many, many questions that we talked about over and over again about that shooting in Vegas. But that laid the foundation for the bump stock. And the bump stocks were the villains
Starting point is 00:12:24 that were made out of that. And it's that that's what you're gonna why was it focusing on that well because that was something that the nra was not going to fight the conservatives would not fight it's just this junk thing but they foolishly did not understand the precedent involved so you know why do i cover this because biden is also openly anti-second amendment actually more openly more overtly you know trump pretends to support it the reason i cover this is for two reasons number one you know we all know that joe biden wants to ban everything that has to do with firearms okay granted so granted. So Trump is better, right? No, actually, the traitor in your midst is more dangerous to you than the guy who is an enemy combatant flying his flag. That's why you need to be suspicious of Trump. But then
Starting point is 00:13:19 there's another reason I cover this. And that is because how do you fix this we we got Trump we got Biden I don't have a choice they both want to push gun control right no you fix it at the state level and it's been fixed at the state level I'm glad that Michael Cargill is fighting this all the way the Supreme Court but whether or not the Supreme Court supports the second amendment whether or not the Supreme Court supports the idea that this country was founded upon, that our rights come from God, they're not granted by government, and they can't be repealed by government, and government officials have to take an oath not to attack those God-given rights,
Starting point is 00:13:58 regardless of whether or not the Supreme Court gets that right. Here in Tennessee, we have for the pistol brace, which is also done by Trump. People don't give him credit for that, but he did that. And he was trying to push that through. He got a lot of pushback then from the NRA. Cause I said, Oh, wait a minute. You know, we don't care about bump stocks.
Starting point is 00:14:18 We care about this. The NRA doesn't care about the principle is the problem, but they'd look at it. Well, now you're coming after this thing. So they pushed back. He removed it in between the election in 2020 and the time that he left office. And then Biden put it back in, but Trump had already instituted the pistol brace ban as another executive order. And now Biden thinks Kamala Harris thinks, sorry, Lala Lala Lala thinks
Starting point is 00:14:44 that she can just ban anything she wants. And she said that during the campaign when she was still running for president. And so how do you stop it? Well, in Tennessee, they said, um, if the, um, if something is legal and Tennessee, the feds can't make it illegal. And, uh, we just made, uh, and we're not going to help them uh to enforce this as a matter of fact we're not only not going to comply but we will you know block this and then they made
Starting point is 00:15:11 pistol braces legal you can do things at the state level and this is why i cover this stuff it's not just to point out to people what a traitor donald trump is because he is a traitor benedict donald is a traitor. Benedict Donald is a traitor. And we'll show more about that in the program. We talk about this fake pandemic and Alex Cesar, who was running it. And it goes all the way back to George W. Bush, who, by the way, was a traitor as well with his Patriot Act and all the rest of this stuff. And what happened in 2020 was the other shoe to drop from 9-11.
Starting point is 00:15:44 It was the other shoe to drop from people like Alex Azar, who was there at the very beginning, at the very beginning, and responsible for pushing out this legislation to the states. And then Trump puts him in as head of HHS. Fauci's boss. Fauci's boss's boss. And so, fauci's boss fauci's boss's boss and so um and joni ernst is uh introducing a bill to protect firearm dealers from biden's weaponized atf so we know that he's biden is trying to shut down all
Starting point is 00:16:14 the gun stores and he's pulling their license and shutting down these businesses if they got one minor technical uh thing that in the past would either have been given a warning or the most defined instead uh of giving them a fine given a warning or the most defined instead of giving them a fine or a warning he pulls their license completely and shuts their business down any excuse so on February the 14th the National Shooting Sports Foundation warned
Starting point is 00:16:36 that Biden's ATF's zero tolerance policy that's what they call it they call it a zero tolerance we got zero things all over the place, right? We're going to have zero cars, zero emissions, zero meat, zero milk, zero tolerance of all kinds of things that the liberals hate because they are nothing other than totalitarians. And we know that. The zero tolerance policy has had devastating effects on
Starting point is 00:17:07 small businesses, the ability for law-abiding citizens to exercise their Second Amendment rights by freely approaching a firearm retailer for purchase, I said. My car needed repairs, but I could only pay for half of them. An easy loan through lamina.ca made the difference between stressed out driving and a smooth ride to work. mark went the extra mile on his repairs with a loan from brokers lamina at 1-800 new credit it's easy to apply over the phone or online at lamina.ca load up to 1,500 and get funds in an hour with no documents or credit checks and pay back over three to seven months prop up your purchase and apply for a loan now at lamina.ca and um so um uh one of uh the things that the atf has now done as they move down this uh path that was the precedent that was set by trump of course is to even start redefining what guns are, right? We're going to say that a bump stock makes something a machine gun.
Starting point is 00:18:06 Well, let's also redefine gun parts as actual guns and say, if you've got a gun part, the pistol frame rule, for example, you have to get a background check and approval and permission from the government to have even a firearm part. That's where the Biden people want to go now we all understand how evil how unconstitutional that is but we understand how evil and unconstitutional is whereas the purpose of people like trump is to put the opposition to sleep it's 4d chess don't worry about it trump's got it covered.
Starting point is 00:18:51 So we're told by the big con media, the big conservative media running a big con on you talking about 4D chess. The new classification was meant to force Americans to undergo a background check in order to purchase gun parts and kits. The ATF made a similar move with the AR pistol stabilizer braces. You see how fast they're implementing this Trump precedent? And so now the Supreme Court is going to hear the challenge to the ATF bump stock ban. And notice this is a Breitbart article here. New York Times said the bump stock was Trump's bump stock ban but breitbart won't even say that trump did it
Starting point is 00:19:28 buried down halfway near the end actually of the article it was the atf who did it the atf who did it now it's trump who said he was going to do it and it's trump who keeps telling us that he is actually going to stop all gun control. That's what makes this so dangerous. During my four years, nothing happened. And there was great pressure on me having to do with guns. We did nothing. We didn't yield.
Starting point is 00:20:00 And once you yield a little bit, that's just the beginning. That's the avalanche begins. Yeah, once you set a precedent like this, you can see the avalanche. The avalanche of gun control by executive order. Gun control by the swamp. The swamp. All of these alphabet agencies, all these bureaucracies under the presidency. So if I could just sum up, Chris and John, Pat, Joe, maybe you could all get together.
Starting point is 00:20:27 You'll start it from that standpoint. Other people, Diane, you have some very good ideas. We all have. I think everybody, Marco, I know you have a lot. Fellas, if you could all get together, if we could put in one great piece of legislation, Chuck, I think that you're going to have an amazing result in the vote. The votes are hard to get in Congress. That's what's been happening. You're going to have an amazing result. People are going to be shocked to see the number. It's not going to be 60. It's going to be way above 60. And it may be a number that nobody would even believe. People want to see something.
Starting point is 00:20:58 Yeah, I like your financial statements. But they want to see something good happen, too. Not just another piece of, I mean, you didn't pass anything, let alone some good stuff. We want to pass something great. But if you four could get together and do something and maybe set the foundation, add to the foundation where some of the great things said for certain types of weapons. I mean, some people aren't going to like that, but you're going to have to look at that very seriously. Yeah, we're going to ban certain types of weapons. I think it's going to be a very successful vote and I will sign it. And I will call whoever you want me to if I like what you're doing. And I think I like what you're doing already. But you can add to it. But you have to be
Starting point is 00:21:37 very, very powerful on background checks. Don't be shy. And don't worry about bump stock. We're getting rid of it where it'll be. I mean, you don't have to complicate the bill by adding another two paragraphs we're getting rid of it i'll do that myself i'll do that myself able to fortunately we're able to do that yeah how'd you do that through congress yeah fortunately he's able to do that how's he able to do that well uh see again the reason i come i cover this you know that biden is coming for the guns do you know that trump's coming for the guns in his second term as well do you know that i know that i'm warning you about that and how do you stop it well now what do we do you know one or the other i guess i'll just have to pick a different issue to decide between Trump and Biden. No, pick a different jurisdiction to try to defend your
Starting point is 00:22:27 liberty. Pick the state. I just talked about what Tennessee did about pistol braces and things. Now, here's a Georgia bill that makes property owners liable for injuries. If they create a gun-free zone, if they put up a sign saying you can't bring a gun in here. Remember Luby's cafeteria in Texas years ago. So woman, she was a dentist. The law was, or the sign was, you can't bring your pistol in here. I don't want to have a hassle with anybody. I've got a well, a good paying practice and all the rest of the stuff. So she leaves her pistol in the car. Lo and behold, somebody drives, I think it was a pickup into the side of the restaurant. Jumps out pistol in the car lo and behold somebody drives uh i think
Starting point is 00:23:05 it's a pickup into the side of the restaurant jumps out just starts shooting people no reason and she's there she goes to get her pistol it's like i don't have it in my purse this time and um you know she said come on let's go her parents were there elderly parents she runs out thinking that they're behind her but they don't follow her she's racked with guilt that she didn't have a pistol to defend them she spoke many times about that she ran and got elected in texas and her experience was instrumental in changing the carry laws in texas now again in texas in a state in in Georgia, what they're saying is, if you do the type of thing that Luby's Cafeteria did, then you're going to be responsible for all
Starting point is 00:23:52 the people that get hurt if it's a situation like that. You're putting the responsibility of protecting everybody on you, on this corporation, on this business that prohibits people from being able to carry a gun to defend themselves. And if they get hurt because of that, you are liable. And not only that, but you've got to put a sign up. If you put a sign up telling people they can't bring it in, you also got to put up a sign that says that we are going to be providing your security for you. See, you can do things at the state level that you can't do in Washington, especially with a president, especially with Trump. Forget about Trump. Put your work, put your money in at the state level.
Starting point is 00:24:43 At the state level at the state level hb 1364 any lawful weapons carrier who is prohibited from carrying and who is injured shall have a cause of action against the person the business or the other entity that owns or legally legally controls such property. The sponsor of the bill, Martin Momtahan, talked about his motivation. He said, all we want to make sure is, if you're in the store or anywhere and it has a no-gun sign, then that store needs to understand they have absolute custodial care of the person who has denied the ability to protect themselves by being armed.
Starting point is 00:25:28 The text clarifies that any posting that bars legal gun owners from being armed for self-defense must be accompanied by signage that makes it clear that the landowner understands his custodial duties. And so while on such property, you shall be under the absolute custodial duties and so while on such property you shall be under the absolute custodial care of the person business and other entity that owns or legally controls such property and that's got to be in any public notice posted on property that include will include language that provides that weapons are not prohibited on such property, shall also contain language, such as I just read you. You see, if we really want to do something,
Starting point is 00:26:11 we don't have to depend on the presidency. Your vote is one out of hundreds of millions of votes, even if the votes are legitimately tabulated. And that's a big ask, a big if. Even are legitimately tabulated. And that's a big ask, a big if. Even if legitimately tabulated, and when you look at all the opportunities nationwide to rig the election and the presidential, it's the one that is most vulnerable to fraud because it's run in so many different jurisdictions
Starting point is 00:26:38 and any one of these jurisdictions can rig it. Take a look at Florida in the 2000 election or a handful of states in the 2020 election. It's worse. The presidential race is worse than any other federal office for Senate or for Congress or the House because those are more localized
Starting point is 00:27:02 and there's fewer people voting and there's fewer people voting and there's, you know, geographically isolated. And so, um, if they're going to have a fraud in Illinois, uh,
Starting point is 00:27:12 that doesn't affect your election for Senator and another state. But as you get further and further down and the geographical area gets smaller and smaller, the opportunity to have a honest election goes up. But your influence also goes up. And so you can have an impact on that. And these people can fix things from the bottom up. Stop focusing on the federal election, especially on Trump.
Starting point is 00:27:40 I'm so tired of hearing people say, yeah, but who do you want for president? I don't want a Caesar. And both of these guys think they're Caesar. Both of these parties, Republican and Democrat, crossed the Rubicon a long time ago. And the dupes that are in both of these parties, the party faithful, Democrats, the MAGA Trump people, these idiots, these useful idiots for these Caesars, think that that's the path to get things done. 800 new credit. It's easy to apply over the phone or online at lamina.ca. Load up to $1,500 and get funds in an hour with no documents or credit checks and pay back over three to seven months.
Starting point is 00:28:32 Prop up your purchase and apply for a loan now at lamina.ca. And it doesn't matter whether they're conservative or liberal. They've still bought into that lie. They're idiots. Idiots. Texas and Florida say that the First Amendment must be sacrificed to save it. Now, this is, again, reason. Wrong on the bump stock stuff. And reason, as they've always been wrong on social media censorship. Always wrong. And they're back riding this horse again. Even after the documents have been released,
Starting point is 00:29:06 they still will not acknowledge this. You know, they typically hang out on freedom issues, but boy, they get it wrong. So they're very good on civil asset forfeiture, for example, but boy, they get it wrong when it comes to free speech. And I don't know, is it the bias of the fact that, um, uh, you know, they got a magazine and they got a platform and people are going to go there and they don't want competition. Is that what it is?
Starting point is 00:29:32 That's I, I really think though, that for reason and for, for heritage foundation, it really does come from their foolish idea that corporations can do no wrong. And if they do wrong, the marketplace will fix it.
Starting point is 00:29:45 That's not the world that we live in. They will not acknowledge that the corporations have merged with this thing that they think can do nothing right, which is the government. So, yeah, the states, again, here, with this case that is before the Supreme Court, again, it's the states who are doing the right thing. And Reason criticizes them for that. The states are doing what the feds should be doing but will not do. And even if the Supreme Court gets it wrong on this, the states should ignore this because that kind of tyranny is unconstitutional. There isn't any branch of government, whether you're talking about the presidency or the Congress or the judiciary, there isn't any branch of government that has the authority
Starting point is 00:30:38 to override the Second Amendment or to override the First Amendment. I don't really care what the Supreme Court's opinion is. If I was in office, I would treat it, and these people ought to treat it. I've said this about Roe v. Wade. I said that was a Texas law, and the response of the Texas governor should have been the same as Andrew Jackson, who said, well, the Supreme Court's issued its opinion. Let's see them enforce it.
Starting point is 00:31:02 He did whatever he wanted to and ignored what they told him he had to do. And he was right under the Constitution. Again, that was with the Cherokee. They're being relocated. The Supreme Court changed their opinion because they saw how horrific that policy was. But they didn't have the authority. It was a bad policy. What Andrew Jackson did was bad.
Starting point is 00:31:23 But it was his constitutional authority to do that. And you have to keep that structure there. The rightful remedy is if a president does something bad, you impeach them. Or you don't vote for them next time or whatever, depending on the level of how bad this is. But that would be the rightful remedy you don't just ignore the constitution otherwise you wind up where we are today in modern america where you have a lawless dictatorship and we have caesars that are out there andrew jackson's policies were wrong but he was not acting as a caesar he was acting within his authority and divided government to do what he wanted,
Starting point is 00:32:09 and the founders understood that. They said the least dangerous, they believed, of the branches of government would be the judiciary because it had no means to enforce what it wanted to have happen. Congress can enforce it by cutting funds, which they never do. And of course, the president has executive power to do things, which, you know, to get the bureaucracy in line, the swamp, the bureaucracy. Of course, they never do that either. But anyway, that was constitutional. And so the response to Roe v. Wade should have been the Texas government should, governor should have said, well, I don't really care.
Starting point is 00:32:44 We're going to not allow babies to be murdered here. That's what we do. That's our authority. And when you look at the First Amendment, Texas and Florida have it right. I talked about this yesterday. The Florida law only protects the free speech of politicians. Unfortunately, the Texas law is broader and protects it for everybody. Now, both of them are before the Supreme Court. And the arguments were made yesterday by the Supreme Court. And so Reason says that the Texas Solicitor General, Aaron Nielsen,
Starting point is 00:33:18 told the Supreme Court that a social media platform is like a telegraph. Yeah, a telegraph or a phone line or something like that and i've used this analogy in the past as well um do you want to have a situation where the um uh you you've got the operator listening in on your phone conversations and if they don't like what you're saying to your neighbor because they disagree with you politically, they disagree with you religiously, do you want them pulling your phone service? Because that's what this is about.
Starting point is 00:33:50 It's exactly what this is about. Social media should be treated like a public utility, should be treated like the public square, looking at it from either of these angles. And again, it is like the public square. And even if the public square is privately owned, 1946, Marsh versus Alabama, you can't censor it. Even if the public square is privately owned 1946 marsh versus alabama you can't censor it even if the public square is privately owned nobody brought that argument up as i can see no one brought marsh versus alabama up i i just to me it's just beyond
Starting point is 00:34:20 belief people who are even cnn says that social media is a digital public square. Jack Dorsey has said that. We've already got a Supreme Court decision saying, if it's a public square, I don't care if it's privately owned. You don't get to censor people. But it's also a public utility. And all of these things apply. Don't have your phone line cut off
Starting point is 00:34:45 because a phone company doesn't like what you're saying about something. But Reason sided with NetChoice, who said a social media platform is more like a newspaper. No, it's not. Because under Section 230, it gave immunity to these companies and said because they are not publishers, a newspaper is a publisher. And a key thing about being a content provider is you don't have to necessarily even write the articles. You just decide which articles are going to be there.
Starting point is 00:35:18 I mean, newspapers grab stuff all the time from Associated Press or Reuters or something like that. You don't have to be the author, but you decide what's going to be there. And we know that that is a viewpoint. Just take a look at Drudge. He's the biggest news aggregator anywhere. And he used to be conservative. He used to pick articles that were conservative. Now he picks articles that are anti-conservative.
Starting point is 00:35:51 So the social media companies are not publishers. They can't have their cake and eat it too. They can't have this immunity by calling themselves publishers. And at the same time, say, I want the immunity that comes with not being a publisher. So Reason is wrong about that as well, and so is net choice. So they said the person who was arguing for a net choice recognized that Facebook and so forth are not like dumb pipes that simply transmit messages. Yes, they are.
Starting point is 00:36:22 They're like a telephone or a telegraph. That's exactly what they are. They're like a telephone or telegraph. That's exactly what they are. And when we talk about social media, they're really, really dumb pipes. They're incredibly stupid pipes, aren't they? And everybody's piping up in very dumb, stupid ways, typically, and arguing with each other. Anyway, the Solicitor General Henry Whitaker from Florida argued that the social media law served an important First Amendment interest by ensuring the free dissemination of ideas. And remember, the Florida law only supports free speech for politicians on social media.
Starting point is 00:36:59 The Florida law requires social media platforms to host speech by any candidate for office, even when it flagrantly violates their content rules. Now, we already have that with the networks, don't we? Right? Broadcast networks, any of them, cannot refuse to air a candidate's ad. And we just saw this in practice because you had a progressive leftist woman who is pro-life. And she is a fighter. And she's showing pictures of aborted babies. Look at this and tell me this isn't a baby. Look at this and tell me this isn't a person, a human being. And she's showing those pictures, which have been censored everywhere.
Starting point is 00:37:46 They would not allow these types of things to be shown on colleges. Matt Drudge showed one to get out of his contract at Fox News. And that wasn't even an aborted baby. That was a baby, you know, reaching as part of an operation, reaching up and grabbing the doctor's finger, right? They don't want you to see the humanity of babies. And so she's running for office so that she can show that commercial. That's the only reason she's like, she's not going to get elected. She probably doesn't want to be elected, but she wants to run those ads. And so that's already recognized. Why would it be any different for the Internet?
Starting point is 00:38:27 Why would the Internet be able to censor when the broadcast companies cannot? The Texas law, in some ways, is broader, saying social media platforms may not censor speech based on viewpoint. And that's precisely what it should be. My car needed repairs, but I could only pay for half of them. An easy loan through lamina.ca made the difference between stressed out driving and a smooth ride to work.
Starting point is 00:38:52 Mark went the extra mile on his repairs with a loan from Brokers Lamina at 1-800-NEW-CREDIT. It's easy to apply over the phone or online at lamina.ca. Load up to $1,500 and get funds in an hour with no documents or credit checks and pay back over three to seven months. Prop up your purchase and apply for a loan now at lamina.ca. You should stop viewpoint censorship.
Starting point is 00:39:17 If somebody is showing something that's incredibly violent or explicitly sexual, you should be able to censor that. But not somebody's viewpoint. That's the key thing. And yet, it's not just Reason that gets it wrong. A poll shows that almost a third of Americans
Starting point is 00:39:36 say that the First Amendment goes too far. Now, this is also an article from Reason magazine. It's interesting to see, you know, again, even though somebody identifies themselves as a supporter of liberty, it doesn't mean that they necessarily are. Now, in this particular case, they're decrying, I think, the fact that this is, most Americans say that we're on the wrong track when it comes to free speech, that we're protecting free speech too much. Now, where reason goes wrong is they think that corporations have free speech and human beings don't.
Starting point is 00:40:13 Corporations, a creature of God, who have government-granted privileges, I mean of government, Godverment. Corporations are created by government as a privilege, and yet human beings are created by God. And that's what distinguishes us from corporations, that our rights should not be infringed. So it's a similar number of Republicans and Democrats who believe that speech ought to be infringed. See, that's where we are now. We've become what we fight.
Starting point is 00:40:42 And I see this all the time, especially with the Trump supporters. We got to shut those people up. We got to punish them. We got to get revenge. I'm going to do to them what they're doing to us. I'm going to do the mail-in ballots and the ballot harvesting better than the Democrats did, rather than reforming it.
Starting point is 00:40:58 That's Laura Trump's idea at the RNC. They're no different from the Democrats. And I've always said that Trump is a Democrat. I think the whole Trump family is frankly, uh, I'm not looking to billionaires to save me. These people love money, the root of all evil. It's possible. It is possible, but it's harder for a rich man to get through the eye of a needle.
Starting point is 00:41:22 And it is for a billionaire to be a person who is going to uphold principle and to act in an altruistic way to save you they're going to save themselves and they're going to try to save money and make money the first amendment goes too far and the rights that it guarantees say a majority both republicans and democrats the results were disappointing but not exactly surprising said fire this is the foundation for let me see their um foundation for individual rights and expression they focus on the first amendment and they especially look at colleges where colleges now uh have become very illiberal. Liberal used to mean that they were about liberty.
Starting point is 00:42:11 It used to mean that they wanted to liberate the mind. That was what a liberal education was about, to free the mind. And so they wanted to have free speech and debate. Not anymore. Half the respondents said that their community definitely or probably should not permit a public speech expressing the opinion that they found most offensive. Now, if you are some of these conservatives or libertarians, you would say you would substitute for community. You would substitute corporation, corporation, and then that makes it OK. You know, for them, they look at the community, oh, that's a tyranny of the majority.
Starting point is 00:42:48 Well, okay, you want a tyranny of a couple of CEOs? You like that, ESG? You like that, DEI stuff? A whopping 69% said a local college should definitely or probably not allow a professor who holds such opinions to teach there. In other words, they should definitely not allow professors to have free speech or probably not allow them to have free speech. Over a quarter of the respondents said that someone who previously said
Starting point is 00:43:17 the offensive opinion should be fired from their job. So 69% say you don't even have, you don't keep them in there and you actively move to get them out now i talked the other day about ireland had a listener say it's even worse the free speech rules coming out of canada trudeau has tabled a draconian censorship bill that criminalizes dissenting voices says rebel news it remains to be seen whether they're going to bring it back with amendments but they've said some pretty amazing things be seen whether they're going to bring it back with amendments but they've said some pretty amazing things they claim that their quote online harms act
Starting point is 00:43:50 does not undermine freedom of speech and enhances free expression by empowering all people to safely participate you see that's how they get around this we want to have free expression so that means that you're going to use their their pronouns or you'll be you'll have your free expression taken away from you it's very cynical very marxist quite frankly um on rockfin harps says the council near me is halting 5g towers after someone wrote a legal letter telling them they will be held liable for any health radiation damage caused by towers good that's really good that's really good uh send me a link to that if you can or i'll look for it um that is excellent and that's what you know we had under bill clinton in 1996 we had the
Starting point is 00:44:37 telecommunications act came a decade after fauci got the legal immunity for the vaccine companies bill clinton did it for the telecom companies. And what it said was local people cannot object for health reasons to any of the telecommunications towers that are out there. And then you had cancer clusters in some areas. And in some cases, they put up a group of antennas right next to a school because they had the property there. You had a big cancer cluster of students and even some teachers.
Starting point is 00:45:15 And so the local community made them take that down. Even if there's a federal law and they don't have the authority for that federal law, you can, again, if you've got the guts, you can fix these things at the state level. It's what I was saying about gun control stuff. You know, it's what I'm saying about the First Amendment. The same thing is true of these towers. You may not be able to get a president to do the right thing, and you probably will never be able to get Congress to do the right thing or the courts. But you can get the right thing done at the local level. And, you know, we've seen over and over again, thanks to the left, we've seen marijuana laws, marijuana, the federal government has never changed it. It is still a
Starting point is 00:45:56 schedule one drug, the worst label that you can put on a drug, which says that it's got no medical use. Well, you know, you've got way more than half of the states have legalized it for medical use or even for recreational use now, defying the government because the government has no constitutional authority to do that, to prohibit things. So I'm glad to see that, Harps. Thank you for letting us know. We can fix these things. You're just not going to get them fixed if you focus on the top. And that's why all of the media wants you to focus your attention on Washington. And they want you to focus your attention on Trump so that you won't get anything done. And that's
Starting point is 00:46:39 why I focus so much attention to exposing him as a fraud and as a traitor. And that's what he is. And we've got more to say about that, but I'm going to take a quick break here before I go to break. Um, Travis has put up a show, a quote from Chesterton. Uh, he says, um, if we diminish the camel to his smallest, or if we open the eye of the needle to his largest, if in short we assume the words of Christ have meant the very least that they could mean, his words must at the very least mean this, that rich men are not very likely to be morally trustworthy. Christianity, even when watered down, is hot enough to boil all modern society to rags. The mere minimum of the church would be a deadly ultimatum to the world, for the whole modern world is absolutely based on the assumption,
Starting point is 00:47:32 not that the rich are necessary, which is tenable, but that the rich are trustworthy, which, for a Christian, is not tenable. You will hear, everlastinglyingly in all discussions about newspapers, companies, aristocracies, or party politics, this argument that the rich man cannot be bribed. Oh, we hear that in MAGA all the time, don't we? Where are some of these people like G.K. Chesterton and C.S. Lewis?
Starting point is 00:48:00 And by the way, I had somebody write me because I did a C.S. Lewis quote. I don't endorse everything that anybody says. And your mileage may vary. I disagree with G.K. Chesterton. I disagree with C.S. Lewis on some things. I disagree with John Lewis, who is a very good apologist in terms of speaking to atheists. But John Lewis disagrees with the Bible about creation, and he's written books about it. And so I don't endorse everything that John Lewis has to say, but he is a brilliant apologist.
Starting point is 00:48:32 And in the same way, CS Lewis and GK Chesterton have some brilliant observations. They can be wrong, but in this particular case, he's not, he is spot on. So that's the whole idea that we need trump because again he's not a politician you know he came out of nowhere we didn't know what he was
Starting point is 00:48:53 about in 2016 he had a real dodgy background of character but hey he doesn't he can't be bought because he's already got all the money. Guess what? The rich typically love money. And that's why Jesus said what he did. A lot of people, I've heard the explanation when I was growing up. Well, you know, there was this place called the Eye of the Camel. And you could actually get through it. But, you know, you had to get off your camel and you had to get him to go through on his knees. There's no evidence of anything like that.
Starting point is 00:49:24 Yeah, take it at what he says now it would take a miracle to get a camel through uh the eye of a needle but god can do miracles he could even save trump uh who knows what'll happen uh it's um you can pray for that uh the fact is of course that the rich man is bribed he has been bribed already that is why he is a rich man this is good travis i like this the whole case for christianity is that a man who is dependent upon the luxuries of his life is a corrupt man spiritually corrupt politically corrupt financially corrupt he lives in this gilded place wherever he goes whether it's trump towers or whether it's mar-a-lago everything is is covered with gold trump has already been bribed by satan himself uh there is one thing that christ and all christian saints have said with sort of savage
Starting point is 00:50:18 monotony they have said simply that to be rich is to be in peculiar danger of moral wreck. G.K. Chesterton. Well, he was spot on about that. Thank you for the quote, Travis. My car needed repairs, but I could only pay for half of them.

Starting point is 00:51:19 where the people rise against a real economic oppression, in our case here in Boston, we are fighting for purely an abstract principle. Hear, hear. It is, however, not nearly so abstract In our case here in Boston, we are fighting for purely an abstract principle. It is, however, not nearly so abstract as the young gentleman supposes. The issue involved here is one of monopoly. Today, the British government will monopolize the sale of tea in our country. Tomorrow, it will be something else. ¶¶ liberty it's your move you're listening to The David Knight Show. All right, and I was going to show you a new shirt that we have,
Starting point is 00:52:53 but we are going to wait to introduce that until tomorrow. I did want to thank people. Several people have been donating to us, and we had, of course, Junk Silver and many other people. He matched the donations that people did, and that has really helped a great deal. At the beginning of the week, we were just over 50%, and we moved the gauge up to three-quarters a couple of days ago, and it's gone up a little bit. It was under three-quarters, but it was was closer to three quarters than it was like low 70s, 72, 73%. Now we're up to like 78%.
Starting point is 00:53:29 We haven't moved it off of the three quarters yet, but we got one extra day here. We really would appreciate anything that you could contribute. If you haven't contributed already, we understand a lot of people have, and we really do appreciate that. But if you would like to sign up, for example, on Subscribestar. Subscribestar donations, I haven't talked about them. I haven't really interacted with people there enough, and I see that that has gone down. We had a lot of people this month, more so than usual, have moved to Zelle,
Starting point is 00:54:02 and that's good for us because there's no fees there if your bank supports that the thing about subscribe star is that it is if you set it up you know for like five dollars a month or something like that it you don't have to think about it and that really has been in the past a base of support for us but that's eroded quite a bit. Uh, the other thing that's eroded quite a bit are ads for whatever reason. And, uh, so the ad revenue is down as well, but we really do appreciate your support. And, um, uh, again, a cash app is also there. Uh, and, um, so you can find those links as well as links to the
Starting point is 00:54:41 program at the David night show.com. Let's talk about Alex Azar and this pandemic thing. So-called pandemic. And again, who was Alex Azar? Alex Azar was the head of Eli Lilly. And I've talked about it, but not all the way back to the,
Starting point is 00:55:01 um, the very beginning of this. I just went back and did a deep dive into his history, deeper than I'd done before. Typically, what I do is I tell people, and I've said this many, many times, you've heard this if you listen to the program, that Trump had presented himself as a vaccine skeptic.
Starting point is 00:55:19 Well, I think maybe vaccines are maybe correlated to the rise of autism. Does anybody have any other ideas about this? Should we ask why there's an increase in autism? If it's not vaccines, then what is it? Oh, you don't care that it's exploded, do you? We shouldn't look. And so he was skeptical about that.
Starting point is 00:55:40 He brought in RFK Jr. to trump tower during the transition period between the election and the time they got sworn in on january the 21st and then um right away big pharmaceutical companies made a big donation to trump and they brought in then he never talked to rfk jr again but they brought in the ceo of eli l. Eli Lilly, as I said in the past, has been one of the most politically connected companies during the Bush administration. You had what was called the Lilly Rider. My car needed repairs, but I could only pay for half of them. An easy loan through lamina.ca made the difference between stressed out driving and a smooth ride to work.

When they were putting together the PREP Act, which is the legal immunity from being sued that we now have, all these things that were added in in the aftermath of 9-11 and the anthrax attack in 2001. But he's got a much more interesting background. background and um when you look at um where alex azar came from uh he began his political career
Starting point is 00:57:10 with the bush administration he began he was he joined the bush administration in august of 2001 isn't it interesting how these people i mean these people got in just a month or a couple of weeks, you know, new FBI director, all of a sudden, just before 9-11? Well, Alex Azar was one of those people. He was confirmed as the general counsel for the Department of Health and Human Services, hhs one month before 9-11 which is one month after dark winter simulation and then one week after 9-11 we had the anthrax attack and then two months later we had model state legislation that went out to uh all the different states and said here pass these laws at the state level to allow you to do these things at the state level. We'll send you the money later, okay? Which is what they
Starting point is 00:58:08 did in 2020. That's what Trump's executive order did. It released the money to the governors. If they do what they had already put on the books because they were offered that model legislation, then it all worked out. So he gets in one month before one month before nine 11, a week after nine 11, you have the anthrax attacks and he's played a very important role in handling the anthrax attacks, which presumably contributed to his eventual confirmation as deputy secretary of HHS under George W. Bush.
Starting point is 00:58:40 You see, this is why I say, and I always said that this 2020 so-called pandemic was the other shoe to drop from 9-11 and this guy was there wearing the shoes at the time after he left his position at the department of health and human services he became a lobbyist for Eli Lilly. In fact, he was their top lobbyist, very good at it. But after Obama got in in 2008, Eli Lilly decided that they needed to have a Democrat-leaning lobbyist. So he left that position, and then it wasn't long before he became CEO, president of Eli Lilly. And as he was president, they got a lot of criticism because the prices for their drugs went up tremendously.
Starting point is 00:59:36 You know, kind of like Ramaswamy, kind of like Martin Shkreli, you know, price gouging, that type of thing. As a matter of fact, their top-selling insulin drug tripled in price under Alex Azar, Trump's HHS secretary, eventual HHS secretary. It resulted in a class-action lawsuit against it, as well as two other companies. And Eli Lilly was actually fined in Mexico because they don't own the Mexican government like they own the American government. And then he claimed a year before all this stuff happened, almost in April of 2019, Alex Azar claimed that pandemic flu was one of the things that concerned him a great deal. He said this publicly at a summit on bio defense now it was in april april may of that clip that i have of trump that i play all the time they gotta get it it's really going around i don't really care what their religious issues are their
Starting point is 01:00:39 medical issues i gotta get this shot it's going around that type of thing. And that's exactly the same timeframe. And so while he is saying that his HHS secretary goes to a summit on biodefense in April of 2019. And it was Alex Azar who in January, the end of January, 2020, uh, said, you know, what, nine months later, he, he uh was the one who declared the pandemic you know trump declared the emergency and released the money uh but it was alex azar who declared the pandemic in the end of january and so he was already telegraphing in april that it's going to be a pandemic flu just Just like with Fauci at the Milken Institute in October. How do you get everybody to take an untested vaccine?
Starting point is 01:01:29 Well, you do it from the inside. You do it with chaos and you do it iteratively, right? These people, besides all the practicing of the war games, I think an event 201 was the last one, but that all goes back to dark winter and it was an annual event. They were telegraphing it all over the place what they were going to do and again alex azar enters the political field you know right there with 9-11 and the anthrax attack at the very beginning and that's what he built his political career on 20 years of this building to this climax of 2020 and it was
Starting point is 01:02:08 trump who made it possible for him to realize his dream now the only question is is trump a traitor or an absolute pawn idiot dummy take your pick i vote for it a traitor. So this has come up, they said, because Trump's claim that no one foresaw the potential. This is an article, by the way, that was written by Money Magazine back at the beginning of the pandemic. And they said this has come up because of Trump's claim that no one foresaw the potential of a pandemic flu as a way of excusing his presidential administration's failures at bringing COVID-19 under control. This is written by money. They want to sell you the real pandemic and then blame Trump for not getting it under control. He says nobody saw this coming. Well, they did see it coming and they talked about it.
Starting point is 01:03:02 Anyway, under his leadership, the united states refused to use tests set out by the world health organization hindering detection efforts during the earlier phases of the spread of the novel coronavirus they had to get that medical death protocol hospital death protocol in place that was really more important and uh you know just have people as as by august of 2020 you had the american medical american hospital association aha it was an aha moment when they said wait a minute you told us the beginning of this you didn't have the test and you told us that they didn't work anyway and to just do a clinical diagnosis just point to them and say they got COVID and we'll send you the money, right?
Starting point is 01:03:47 Yeah, we'll send you $19,000. You put them on a ventilator, we'll give you another $34,000. And these things only cost 50. You're already $3,000 in the black and you get to charge them for everything that you do. And we will give you a 20% bonus for anything that you do,
Starting point is 01:04:02 even if it's not related to COVID, if you've identified the patient as COVID. Bingo. Got the numbers way up there, right there. That was coming from Alex Azar, coming from the Trump administration. Trump is responsible for this. Everybody holds Biden responsible and should hold him responsible for everything that happens within these bureaucracies during his administration.
Starting point is 01:04:23 He's rightfully held responsible, but they will not hold Trump responsible. It wasn't Trump. It was Fauci. Put him on the podium. Anyway, then they talk about the cruise ship passengers. Likewise, cruise ship passengers are quarantined on the ships rather than disembarked before being quarantined on land, which was problematic because of the cramped condition of the ships
Starting point is 01:04:44 made it much easier for the novel coronavirus to spread from person to person. Again, you want to go back to what was that? That was the Diamond Princess off of Fukushima. And they had out of 3,711 people, even though they had these conditions where they didn't control anything and they had a guy who had been, that's what he did. He was a doctor who went into areas where there's a massive amount of disease. He didn't, he said, even with his protective equipment, he was so scared. He said, I've never been that afraid.
Starting point is 01:05:18 Even when I went in for Ebola, it's like, seriously. And yet he didn't die. And they had 712 people who tested positive, but only 138 of them were actually sick. And so, you know, five times the number of people tested positive with these ridiculous PCR tests, but then were actually sick. 138 people got sick but you know back in 2016 four years earlier they had not 138 sick people but they had 158 sick people from gastroenteritis and so this is the type of thing that can happen on cruise ships now they did have 14 people who died i don't know if they died from a flu or from COVID or if they died from the treatment that they were given or if they died from neglect. Do you know?
Starting point is 01:06:13 No, you don't know. Anybody that tells you would be lying because the government has lied about this. Did they die from some pandemic? Did they die from some pandemic did they die from some virus did they die however maybe from something else like remdesivir or some other poisonous treatment like uh midazolam you know that they're doing in the uk and now andrew bridgen the only honest man in the uk government the only one who has stood against all this stuff he is now suing matt hancock who is mocking people over his lockdown orders.
Starting point is 01:06:46 Let's see what we can do to him next. That type of thing. My car needed repairs, but I could only pay for half of them. An easy loan through Lamina.ca made the difference between stressed out driving and a smooth ride to work. Mark went the extra mile on his repairs with a loan from Brokers Lamina at 1-800-NEW-CREDIT. It's easy to apply over the phone or online at lamina.ca. Load up to $1,500 and get funds in an hour with no documents or credit checks and pay back over three to seven months. Prop up your purchase and apply for a loan now at lamina.ca. And over his orders to use midazolam. And when he went public with what matt hancock was doing matt hancock
Starting point is 01:07:26 uh came after so he's taking him to court for defamation good for andrew bridgen but here in the united states everybody's just forgetting about it we also had the navy ship where you had remember they the guy took the captain took it He says, oh, we got somebody tested positive or whatever. Nobody died. Nobody died at all because they're healthier than people on a cruise ship. I don't know what they did for the people who got sick on the cruise ship. Did they give them treatment? Did they deny them treatment?
Starting point is 01:07:59 Did the treatment kill it? Or did the denial of treatment kill them? We don't know. And we can never know so while all this is happening now canada have put in a vaccine passport system they call it arrive can for people arriving into canada isn't it interesting that we don't worry about any of that and biden who was so obsessed about this doesn't worry about anybody walking across the border yeah we're so
Starting point is 01:08:25 past that right now we a different mcguffin we got to work on the climate mcguffin we don't want to get people afraid of you know diseases and things at the border so there's no need to show that you're healthy or that you've got the approved shots or anything like that just come on in of course the rest of us can't travel if we haven't had all their required shots and all the rest of this stuff. Arrive Can had its own scandals associated with it. They rolled this thing out in April of 2020, right as they're doing the lockdown, as a tool to assist border guards in Canada.
Starting point is 01:09:04 And I would say as a test to lock us in. They only care about citizens. They don't really care about illegal immigrants. The app became mandatory for all air travelers seven months later and was expanded to include those who are cruising, sorry, not cruising, but crossing the border. A glitch incorrectly notified thousands of fully vaccinated travelers put them in quarantine a form of unlawful detention well it's not just unlawful
Starting point is 01:09:34 detention if you put somebody in because they're not vaccinated when they really are vaccinated it's unlawful detention if you lock up people who are not even sick. You know, I've got problems with the quarantine laws, but, you know, if somebody's not even sick, how do you justify detention? There's not any way. The Arrive Can app was originally budgeted to be $80,000, but its costs ballooned to over $60,000, not $1,000,000. Three orders of magnitude, a thousand, million. Three orders of magnitude, a thousand times more money than they had planned on spending on this thing. And so now people are saying, is there some corruption going on? Well, you better believe it is.
Starting point is 01:10:13 The public backlash against the invasive and dictatorial app resulted in a major investigation into it. But now the focal point of the investigation is the destruction of documents associated with the creation of ArriveCam. And the principal contractor, GC Strategies. Yeah, they got tens of millions of dollars instead of tens of thousands of dollars. Canada's chief technology officer has been caught modifying data files in a manner that resulted in the disappearance of emails and documents potentially tied to GC strategies. Again, when we look at Texas,
Starting point is 01:10:54 the massive amounts of money that Trump was unleashed without executive order, Greg Abbott got $300 million. And we were talking about only 60 minutes, five times the amount these people ripped them off for, for this thing. He, I don't know how many billions or tens of billions Texas got in terms of Trump cash. But Abbott right away gave $300 million to this corporation that there was a citizen journalist who went by and there was nobody there. It's just this empty office. They did an investigation.
Starting point is 01:11:23 It was like, who are these people? The guy's LinkedIn thing. by and there was nobody there. So it's this empty office. They did an investigation. It was like, who are these people? The guy's LinkedIn thing. He had no CV, no curriculum, um, vital curriculum or anything. And, um, very, very dodgy, very, very dodgy. And it was all to track and trace people, but it may have been just a big financial scam of some sort. And all the press got on it for just a moment for a day or two and then suddenly shut up about it and never said anything else press both republican and democrat were complaining
Starting point is 01:11:51 about asking who is this and they never got any answers but they stopped talking because evidently the word came down from above the house of commons in canada their decision to potentially arrest non-compliant contractors over this is a watershed moment in Canadian legislative history. This is so bad that they're saying, well, we may arrest some of these contractors, especially if they don't want to talk. The Auditor General, Karen Hogan, did not shy away from waiving ethical concerns regarding government staff who accepted gifts from vendors without making necessary disclosures. In her words, the fact that there was an emergency did not justify the despising of conventional public service guidelines. We still got a constitution, we got laws. She lamented the inadequacy of the levels of public service. She declared her expectations for improved performance.
Starting point is 01:12:49 Well, again, it's not just the Canadians. This is happening everywhere. Back in September of 2020, if you remember this, and we should remember Trump's first administration. Don't you think if we're going to vote for him a second time, should we pay a little bit of attention to what he actually did? Not what he's saying now, but what he actually did. It might be a better clue to what he's going to do coming up than what he actually says now. The biometric entry exit visa tracking system, which we need desperately.
Starting point is 01:13:17 Do we? In my administration, we will ensure that this system is in place. And I will tell you, it will be on land it will be on sea it will be in air we will have a proper tracking system yeah everywhere but um we don't we don't care about any of that now do we we? Not at all. And when you look at biometric surveillance, it is everywhere. Now I reported last week, the fact that you have a European, I think it's European football league soccer. Uh, they're putting it in stadiums and things like that.
Starting point is 01:13:58 Madison square gardens, uh, has it biometric, uh, surveillance and a database to go along with it. Of course that does the matches, of course. And we know this because there was a law firm that was suing them. They got angry about that. They put pictures of, they put biometric information. Again, she'd never been this, this, this lawyer who worked for this firm had never been to Madison square gardens
Starting point is 01:14:21 to get identified that way. But you know, because they didn't like this lawsuit, she was not involved in the lawsuit, but they put everybody that worked for the firm in their database. She goes on a field trip with her kid and she gets hustled out of there by bouncers, embarrassed, angry. She sues them over this. And so now the NFL is going to be doing this as well. Just a couple of days ago, I pointed out the grocery store chains are starting to put in biometric stuff. So you're not going to go to a sporting event, not going to go get your food, not going to
Starting point is 01:14:53 do all these different things because of this biometric identification. We are turning into China. China, China. Oh, we don't like China. But they're the beta test for everything that Trump and the rest of these people are going to do to us. He was pushing this in September 2020 as he's running for election. Now, he's not talking about this now. But the crisis of the border that Biden has created has got Republicans begging, begging for this kind of stuff. Just like a lot of them over this false flag of 9-11 started begging for the Patriot Act aspects of this.
Starting point is 01:15:37 Oh, put in a TSA. Great. That's a great idea. We got to be protected from people hijacking planes. There was never a threat to airports and airplanes. And we know that because that's the TSA's own assessment. And we also know that because there hasn't been another one and because they don't do their job. They're absolute failures at their job. And so if there was a threat, we would have had multiple attacks like that.
Starting point is 01:16:04 And we don't even need to have the document confessing that, but the TSA knows it. I know it, you know it, but you still got people who think it's necessary. So biometric ID verification is set to be used at all NFL stadiums, uh, beginning in this year in 2024,
Starting point is 01:16:19 all of them. Uh, so, you know, we don't, I don't have to go to an NFL stadium. I've never been to an NFL game, but I do need to go to grocery stores from time to time. I don't have some other way to get food and they're going to use this type of thing.
Starting point is 01:16:38 It's just like they're going to use the CBDC to shut people down, shut people out. So you can thank Trump and Biden for this. The GOP and the Democrats for this. They're all working for the same agenda. It doesn't matter, these people. If you're going to stop this, you've got to stop it at the state level. And of course, in Florida, they want to make E-Verify mandatory. That'll keep the illegal aliens from stealing our jobs.
Starting point is 01:17:08 Please put us in an open-air prison. The identity and the access management system. And guess what they call it? IAM. IAM, the great IAM. It's kind of got an antichrist ring to it, doesn't it? This system is like a Mark of the Beast type of stuff. The I-M system.
Starting point is 01:17:32 The I-M system. And the company that provides it is called Wicket. My car needed repairs, but I could only pay for half of them. An easy loan through lamina.ca made the difference between stressed out driving and a smooth ride to work. Mark went the extra mile on his repairs with a loan from Brokers Lamina at 1-800-NEW-CREDIT. It's easy to apply over the phone or online at lamina.ca. Load up to $1,500 and get funds in an hour with no documents or credit checks and pay back over three to seven months. Prop up your purchase and apply for a loan now at lamina.ca.
Starting point is 01:18:09 Not wicked with a D, but wicked with a T. I guess their idea is that you're like a croquet or something. You got to go through this little entry gate. Yeah. The straight and narrow way, and they're going to make it very narrow for you at the same time you have um zero hedge talking about how a lot of companies that made fantastic profits off of the pandemic are now just barely hanging in there or some of them have now gone below where they were. And the headline was, we're going to need another pandemic for these companies to make money. Well, it may be right around the corner. Statisticas.
Starting point is 01:18:58 Graph says, Zoom, scroll down and show the graph there. Yeah, the pandemic winners and losers. Zoom isn't the only pandemic winner struggling to maintain its momentum in the post-pandemic world other companies that soared under special circumstances have also come crashing down and so you can look at this and you can see they've got a dotted line down there at the bottom and that green line is uh you know where their profits went um in um uh march of 2020 it's at the horizontal line of where they were before Trump declared the pandemic two days later. And then the green line shows all that green money. They made their peak pandemic value.
Starting point is 01:19:36 And then the red line is where they are today. And you can see that Moderna is still well above where they were. As a matter of fact, they're doing so well that if you had invested $1,000 in Moderna on March 11th, two days before Trump declared the pandemic and released the money, you would have $4,000 today. So quadrupled in value. Pull back up. Let's take a look at more of this. Etsy is just slightly over where it was at that point in time and uh but then you have other companies like docusign and zoom and peloton uh that are uh below where
Starting point is 01:20:17 they were just before the pandemic so we're going to have to have another pandemic to get them profitable. A, uh, and so I wanted to go back to this, to talk about the fraud of the pandemic. I began by talking about Alex's are, uh, how this guy cut his career, you know, uh, had the fast track path. He gets hired. He's involved in the anthrax attack and all this stuff. And he gets rewarded to become deputy HHS. Then he becomes a top lobbyist. Then he becomes president of Eli Lilly. And then Trump puts him back in at HHS and he finishes the job of the
Starting point is 01:20:59 pandemic stuff. Well, health, freedom, defense.org talks about lab leak an elaborate misdirection and i agree with him i think this whole thing about the lab leak is a fraud and i've said it publicly i'm on record saying that from the very beginning as a matter of fact uh it was um when this stuff was being pushed and they were pushing the fear and the panic and info wars, I didn't make any secret of my contempt for this idea that, uh, there was some kind of a pandemic, some kind of a, uh, a geo-engineered, uh, bioweapon, uh, that people want to come on.
Starting point is 01:21:38 I've had, you know, people, I won't mention his name, but, you know, he's a, uh, very well known. I, and I enjoyed what he had to say about defense and other things like that. He knows what he's doing. He was a former Navy SEAL. But he came on. He doesn't know anything about what he's talking. He's just regurgitating panic stuff. Oh, this is engineered.
Starting point is 01:21:59 It's got a little hook, and it hooks onto you. You didn't see any of this stuff. You've seen some computer animation, and you've heard some narratives coming out of mainstream media. You didn't see any of this stuff. You've seen some computer animation and you've heard some narratives coming out of mainstream media. You don't know any of this stuff. And, you know, just like Steve Pachinik, I said, don't put him back on again. If he's going to push stuff like that, that, um, you know, I don't think that he was rigging it in the same way that Steve Pachinik does, but if he's going to regurgitate stuff like that, that he doesn't know anything about uh i'm
Starting point is 01:22:26 just not going to go there but everybody was doing that at info wars that's one of the reasons why alex put me on with francis boyle who wanted to push this stuff and uh with all due respect francis you have no idea what you're talking about with this stuff and you have no evidence for any of this stuff and anybody that looks at this stuff logically and again i say with all due respect because every time i would say something he would come back well you know since i'm from harvard and uh with all due respect i must say that uh blah blah blah well he doesn't know what he's talking about and i know exactly what alex is doing with this stuff he knows exactly what he's doing and so this is what health freedom defense says the ongoing investigations into the elusive covid pandemic
Starting point is 01:23:13 murder mystery and that's what it is it's an agatha christie murder mystery and guess what when the investigations are being done by the people who committed the murders we're not going to find the murderers, are we? It's cluttered with all manner of obfuscation and misdirection, and chief among these shaky postulations are the various iterations of the virus lab leak theory, which has more lives than a feral cat and possesses a capacity for reappearing as often as the shambling zombies who lurk in the woods at the edge of town. Once the curtain is pulled back on the unsubstantiated lab-leaked hypothesis, the socially engineered sorcery, good word, good word, pharmakia, right?
Starting point is 01:23:58 The Greek word pharmakia translated as sorcery. Always a part of these religious rituals and everything, but it is sorcery and it's deception as well. The sorcery of the pandemic is revealed as the base scheme that it is. The lab leak claim posits that SARS-CoV-2 is an engineered quasi-biological deadly gain-of-function phenomenon rather than a computer-generated construct, complete with computer animation. Yeah, all this stuff you saw, this virus and everything, they don't have any pictures of that.
Starting point is 01:24:37 You can't see a virus. You know, this is a, it is a construct. It is a theoretical construct, just like an atom. What is an atom? Is an atom like the Neil Bohr's model where you got a nucleus and you got these orbiting electrons, all this kind of stuff? Or is it like quantum physics and other things like that? What is it really? Well, they don't know.
Starting point is 01:25:01 They've got different models that they try to use to explain the way things work. But again, it isn't something that they've actually isolated or they got a picture of. So by implying that the virus was a man-made microbial murderer, promulgators of the lab leak story avoid facing the fact that the last three and a half years were deliberate highly organized culling of the global population under the guise of protecting quote public health unquote yeah this was planned acted for 20 years and alex azar was there at the very beginning and to um he was the kind of the anchor guy in this tag team match. Many people who are in the know, who are skeptical of medical industries,
Starting point is 01:25:52 pharmacological fantasies, are still trapped on this lab leak circuit. And many of them who know better are pushing it. Because, oh, look, I told you this from the very beginning. And they're pushing back on it. You know, I mean, that's, you think about how effective that strategy is. You got Alex Jones out there saying it's going to kill everybody. It's perfected in the labs and leaked out. And then you got found. Oh, no, no, no. Don't panic everybody. That's not what it is.
Starting point is 01:26:17 And people say he's not telling us the truth because he's involved in creating it and all the rest of the stuff. And now we've been found, even though, and he knows he's not going to be arrested for anything. He would have liability if that were true. But he's putting it out there because it provides an alibi for what he knowingly did and what really happened, which was to murder people with his vaccine and with remdesivir and these other things.
Starting point is 01:26:43 The hospital death protocol that the Trump administration bribed hospitals to do. That's why they come back to this lab leak thing. And then you've got the big con press like Infowars telling you, see, we were right all along. Now even Fauci is admitting that we were right. And what are they doing? They're distracting everybody from the real murder plot.
Starting point is 01:27:05 Amidst the hyper-focus on gain-of-function research on furrin cleavage sites, we're not talking about Melania here, restriction enzymes and the rest of the sci-fi vernacular that should shroud the lab leak hypothesis
Starting point is 01:27:18 and scientific-sounding mumbo-jumbo, there lies an elementary question. Does this theory hold even an ounce of water one conspicuous curiosity that calls into question the threat of a lab leak by a weapon is the fact that covid deaths quote unquote follow the age risk stratified stratification and also follow a seasonal curve of flu and pneumonia i said this from the very beginning. I said, isn't it curious that, and we had two weeks worth of data.
Starting point is 01:27:49 I had John Rappaport on. We're talking about the fact, two weeks of data out of Italy that locked down early. And they only had a handful of people who had died. They were all over the age of life expectancy. And they all had on average more than two and a half comorbidities. So I was like, why is this unusual? This is something that would normally be expected.
Starting point is 01:28:12 Yes, it's tragic for those people who died, but it's not a large number of people, and it's people that typically die because of age and because of multiple diseases that are happening to them. We had two weeks' worth of that information, but Trump locked us down anyway. And it wasn't even if it had been a unique disease, it still was not even at epidemic level. And certainly nothing was happening here, but of course, Alex Azar had locked things down,
Starting point is 01:28:41 had declared it at the end of January. So, and I said from the very beginning, I said, look at this, this is like an actuarial table. I said, if this was some kind of thing, and that's what they talk about it. How did this all of a sudden spread everywhere? It's not like you can trace it from this and that, and it gradually moves out, right? If it's some kind of a contagious disease. No, all of a sudden it springs up everywhere.
Starting point is 01:29:02 And the people who are dying look like the people who've always died. And there's a seasonal flu. It looks like that. It looks like the actuarial tables. Equally inexplicable is the fact that in 2020 reported cases of flu suddenly vanished. We have no flu because they're relabeling it. So you got 80 plus year olds who had multiple comorbidities. You had other chronically ill people already in or sent to hospitals and nursing homes. In these institutions, COVID patients were forcibly treated with toxic medications. They were placed on sedatives, on ventilators that blew up or collapsed their lungs. They were abandoned in rooms to die a painful, lonely, despairing death.
Starting point is 01:29:46 Family members prevented from being at their side to comfort them, to question the macabre protocols, being mercilessly inflicted, and to get them out of these death row facilities. This was all 100% Trump administration, folks. 100%. He bragged about what he was doing. Yeah, I made no secret of my contempt for these lies countless incongruities point to the lab leak theory and possibly the virus itself being a myth so some questions what dark magic was involved that trained this microbe to be released only upon administrative orders and to peak in synchronicity only in select locations.
Starting point is 01:30:30 Are we to believe that a suddenly super-spreading, deadlier-than-flu, gain-of-function virus waited for the government decree to create excess deaths? Why did this deadly virus cause no mass death in Wuhan, where a lab leak is said to have originated. The ostensible virus did not migrate from Northern Italy to Central or Southern Italy, nor did it impact any other parts of Europe. Instead, it improbably hopped, skipped, and jumped its way straight to the public hospital in Elmhurst in New York.
Starting point is 01:31:02 And as I said, all these at the time, they were talking at the very same hospitals that they said were overcrowded and in a panic situation. I pulled up articles, and it was two or three years earlier, they had said the same thing. And they were saying it at the time because they wanted more money. And I said, even that is not any
Starting point is 01:31:20 different. We had Franklin Graham going and he was at Central Park to help him. And all these people were scared to death, thought they were all going to die. They still wanted him to leave because he was a Christian and he wasn't on board with homosexual marriage or whatever. Get out of here. I'd rather die than
Starting point is 01:31:35 have you here. Well, they did pull out because nobody was using their facility. Why didn't Franklin Graham tell people that? You know, Trump pulled out the hospital ship that he sent to New York City. He pulled away the hospital ship that was sent to LA because they were not being used. There's a 2,500 bed army field hospital that was set up there in Central Park. It wasn't being used either. And they quietly in the middle of the night took that
Starting point is 01:31:59 thing away after they'd shown everybody, look at this. And it was just a sea of beds, empty beds waiting for people who were going to die. We had reports about how they were burying people in Central Park. And then three or four days later, very, very quiet, quiet retractions. Well, no, that wasn't actually the case. Over and over again. But by that point, it was already in everybody's imagination. They're burying people in Central Park. They're dying. They don't have enough places to store the dead bodies. All of this was a lie, a lie.
Starting point is 01:32:35 Yet it was being pushed by the big con media as well as by the establishment media. Both of them, a common cause to scare you. And both of them using it as a political cudgel. The mainstream press was using it against Trump. The big con press was using it against Fauci and the government in general. How is it possible this virus was so demographically smart? Because again, I went back and I talked about the, I said, look at this 1918, a lot of people died, whatever was
Starting point is 01:33:11 happening then it was equally distributed across all age groups. Unlike the data coming out of the CDC, which looked exactly like the typical actuarial table at the time so uh all of this false but um they said um uh we got to believe that this whole thing was geographically savvy how did you have like new york right um it's all there in manhattan it doesn't even cross the river get to the other side covet affected counties in the.S. are right next to unaffected areas, including the New York City metro area, where the virus seemed unable to cross the river. Was this gain-of-function hobgoblin designed to recognize
Starting point is 01:33:56 county, state, and national boundaries, and to stick to urban areas, while leaving suburban and rural communities largely alone? The lab leak story surfaced early on. It was quickly adopted and became an accepted narrative amongst skeptics. You see, that was the role that was being played by the big con media, by InfoWars and others. Some establishment COVID skeptics have built their reputations in some case their
Starting point is 01:34:26 entire cottage industry around the lab leak mythology i told you this from the very beginning they'll say right and so to justify another round of lockdowns to codify more draconian measures such as mandated vaccination in the future all that will be needed is to reignite the fear of a bioweapon. You see how dangerous this is? Do you think that Trump would do that in the second term since he did it in the first term? Since he's still bragging about doing it in the first term? Do you think he's likely to do it? I do.
Starting point is 01:34:58 I do. That's why I say I don't support either one. Biden would do it as well. You better get focused on the state level because these clowns at the federal level, whether it's Trump or whether it's Biden, they're going to try to pull this game on you again. The related result of focusing on the lab leak conjecture is that it shores up the deadly novel virus suddenly appeared narrative, which provides a rationale for the biosecurity complex to siphon trillions of dollars into their industry. They can distract attention from how the perception of a pandemic mass panic was conjured with staged Hollywood productions, the dancing nurses, the rest of the stuff,
Starting point is 01:35:40 with a very, you know, you've got drone footage, you've got big boom cameras, everything is coordinated. Do you think those are really nurses that were even dancing there? Doomsday models, the meaningless PCR tests of fraudulently manufactured cases that spuriously attributed death from other causes to COVID. But perhaps the biggest problem with accepting and promoting all this big lie that there was ever a pandemic, is a theory hides crimes that were committed by the hospitals and nursing homes and politicians. Not only does a pandemic narrative serve to conceal the likelihood that this was a mass
Starting point is 01:36:17 murder spree set off by policies constructed, orchestrated, mandated by identifiable individuals, it also serves as a smokescreen to the entire COVID operation. This is one of the reasons why I don't support RFK Jr. He's written a book now to push this narrative of a bioweapon. And I don't support him either. I don't trust him either. It's like I don't trust Trump or Biden. This entire fishtail dropped on the COVID discourse
Starting point is 01:36:46 to keep the public obsessing over the origins of the disease rather than focusing on the policy-induced slaughter, slaughter of the last three and a half years. And this is why Fauci is now nodding to it. He knows that he's got plausible deniability about, oh, well, it was the Chinese, it was this, but if he takes that he's got plausible deniability about oh well it was a chinese it was this a but if he takes that away now it comes back to his policies and trump's policies
Starting point is 01:37:12 the vaccine the lockdowns the mass the this the that without the existence of the bioweapon everything else in the official narrative swirls down the toilet, including the contrived case definitions, the dodgy non-diagnostic PCR tests, the fake excuses given for lockdowns, masks, and social distancing, and the debate between whether the novel virus originated with a love match between a bat and a pangolin, or from a gain-of-function experiment at the Wuhan lab. The establishment's insistence on pushing this serves to cover up the actual crimes that were committed. And that's why I say you're either an idiot or you're part of the
Starting point is 01:37:50 establishment. If you're pushing this lab leak theory, so I don't trust RFK Jr. is why I know not to trust Alex. I know what he knew privately. I know why he was doing this. So where do we go from here? Well,
Starting point is 01:38:03 you know, if we looked at all of this we would if you remove this then it shines a spotlight on these people oh yeah trump didn't do it it was done to him by the chinese it was the woo flu that's what breitbart likes to call it in the trump media the big con media misdirection is a classic strategy used to divert attention from one subject and direct it to another. Getting people to ask all the wrong questions ensures that they will not be looking for answers to the right questions. That's the key. That is what's right there. Well, it is time for us to bring on Tony a little bit past time and he's on. I want to thank Greg. Thank you very much, Greg Talent. I appreciate that tip.
Starting point is 01:38:46 And we would really appreciate any help that we've got. We're still under budget for the month and we've got a few more hours left. But thank you very much, Greg. I really do appreciate the tip and keep saying the same people who support the program. And I really do appreciate that. We're going to take a quick break
Starting point is 01:39:03 and we'll be right back with Tony Arteman of Wise Wolf Gold. We'll be right back. The Common Man They created Common Core to dumb down our children. They created Common Past to track and control us. Their Commons Project to make sure the commoners own nothing. And the communist future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
Starting point is 01:39:46 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.

Starting point is 01:40:48 Welcome back, and joining us now is Tony Arteman of Wise Wolf Gold. Tony has kindly set up DavidKnight.Gold, which will take you to Wise Wolf. Let him know that you're coming through this program. And Tony, thank you for joining us. We've got a lot of crazy stuff happening now financially, all different areas. We're living in interesting financial times, aren't we? And many others. We certainly are. Thank you for having me back david uh while you were talking about gain of function i'm starting to think and i can't prove it but uh was was janet yellen a lab leak i'm not sure was she made in a lab but she seems engineered to crash our economy with some sort of economic
Starting point is 01:41:22 gain of function i was looking at well she does like those mushrooms that she got in China. She just couldn't stop bowing to Xi. Yes. She's put out a statement I think is just absolutely unhinged. She said that the world's most advanced economies have a moral obligation to unfreeze Russian assets to aid Ukraine. And this is on the heels of massive de-dollarization because of the sanctions that we have all over the world,
Starting point is 01:41:51 40 different sanctions, 36 different countries, the weaponization of the dollar. It's having blowback consequences on our own economic strength, the strength of the dollar, the future of the U.S. economy. But they're doubling, triplingpling quadrupling down david it's it really is a harbinger i like i love that you've used that word a few times last week it is a harbinger of things to come as we see less and less uh usage of the dollar and this is because countries are dumping it i i read another uh statement from a representative of
Starting point is 01:42:22 south africa um you know the the the s in bricks uh or at least one of the s's now they have saudi arabia but he said i think they've got a lot of s's uh but s is we've got a lot of s's in our government as well don't we 25 other countries are on the waiting list for bricks wow 25 and bricks alone is 40 of the world's population well what do you have to do to get into BRICS? Do they have to get some biometric data, the leaders? That's a good question. It's like trading one old system for something else.
Starting point is 01:42:55 A lot of countries, I think, are like, well, this is the devil I know. Instead of the devil I don't know. But the U.S. is making it really difficult not to look for other alternatives especially people like janet yellen they are just totally clueless well you and i live in america and we're looking for other alternatives to the dollar that's true but he's got to be looking for alternatives to the dollar uh so uh yeah and there are some interesting things that have been happening uh bitcoin exploding the thing i thought was amazing i saw this one article coinbase couldn't handle it because there was so much volatility in the price it jumped up and then it and then it you know went up to like 60k
Starting point is 01:43:32 then it dropped down like 5 000 and the people looked at their balances and it was it said zero and so then coinbase sent the thing out it's like don't worry everything's just fine here and it's like really is it just when you just told me that my balance is zero and then it jumped back up to like 64? I mean, it's all over the place. What do you think is going on with that? You were just at a Bitcoin conference. I mean, is it this ETF stuff and the institutions that are roiling the market? What's going on?
Starting point is 01:43:58 Yes, it's the ETFs, the institutional money jumping into the market. And what it's a reflection of supply and demand this is basic economics uh there's not a lot of Bitcoin supply remember there's only 21 million that will ever exist and a big chunk of that will is missing you know they'd never be recovered um you know somebody's hard landfills and wallets will never be reanimated uh so you're seeing I think this is a real economic lesson of supply and demand. And there's also the fact that the US dollar, Bitcoin is going the opposite direction. And the Greek mythology always talked about when hubris presents itself, when you become
Starting point is 01:44:42 hubristic or so arrogant that it summons nemesis. This is the old Greek mythology. Well, that's kind of what this is. Bitcoin, in a lot of ways, is a modern nemesis to the US dollar. And I'm really interested in seeing how this plays out because I've been in the Bitcoin space since 2016, as you know. And I had some of the first Bitcoin ATMs. I was buying Bitcoin, you know, less than $400 a coin. And let's see the price as of five minutes ago, 63,254 Luciferian Bankster notes make one Bitcoin. And again,
Starting point is 01:45:18 beginning of the year, we're in the $30,000 plus range. I've been watching this for a while. I've been telling people that Bitcoin still has a story to tell. And again, the institutional money is in there. That's an open question. You and I have discussed that, you know, the big banksters like Larry Fink at BlackRock and others, you know, coming out in support of Bitcoin, calling it a store of value. I don't know if that's the kiss of death for any real commodity or good thing, but I do think there's going to be more and more money being pumped into Bitcoin. I think it's going to drive the price up. This is, again, not investment advice, but you can look at people like Robert Kiyosaki who was saying Bitcoin to 100,000 by June of 2024. He put that out on his Twitter.
Starting point is 01:46:00 You can go reference Robert. So there's something going on here. And I think really the reason that Bitcoin has such a rise, David, is because of the US dollar. The underlying story there is the loss of purchasing power in the dollar, the uncertainty there. Bitcoin is the complete opposite. Again, it's the nemesis for the dollar because it's finite. They're not going to make new Bitcoin. They're not going to be printing it out of thin air, right? There's no QE for Bitcoin, but the supply of the US dollar is technically unlimited. And I even saw Jim Cramer is having a meltdown.
Starting point is 01:46:35 And he said, what does Bitcoin ever do for humanity? And I'm thinking, well, you know, the system kills people. I mean, it literally creates wars that shouldn't exist it props up politicians and and and industries that shouldn't exist and when they done what they've done the last four years especially uh with people on fixed income the elderly you just destroyed the purchasing power of their of their their checks and their dollars and so now they have to choose between meals and medicine. That's real life consequences to the criminality
Starting point is 01:47:08 of the central banking system. Whereas Bitcoin has had, as a store of value, it seems to be keeping pace. Again, not a complete endorsement of everything that's going on with this ETF, but it's interesting to watch. Yeah. Yeah, as you said, we don't give financial advice.
Starting point is 01:47:23 I give political advice to people, but I also give some life advice because I've been uh caught up in bubble markets you know and there's no shame in that I guess because Isaac Newton who could predict the tides with mathematical accuracy could not predict the bubbles of his day the South Sea bubble got him you know the tulip bubbles and things like that I don't know if he got involved in both of those or one of those but i know that he he lost a fortune in that stuff and sure well thomas jefferson as you know had to sell his library to the library of congress to pay his bills i think it was like he sold it for like 24 000 or something like that did he get into uh something did he get tulip bulbs as well that's a little bit before his time the tulip mania but
Starting point is 01:48:06 yeah but you know again just genius uh doesn't always translate into a financial game i just look at it and you know i have uh i have a lot of aversion to things a that are digital uh and virtual i have a big aversion to that and i have a big aversion now because of the dot com bust i have a big aversion to manias and something that is very volatile so i'm not interested in being rich and i don't want to be poor so i want to preserve what i've got there that's why i'm like i know aaron day came on and he's you know he talks about uh he's focused on opposing the fiat currency system and CBDs especially. And so he says, yeah, Bitcoin, gold and silver is what he's focused on. But he's looking at all three.
Starting point is 01:48:54 I just want something that is at this stage of my life that is not volatile, that is not virtual. And it's something that's in a vault. There we go. There's the three v's how about that well i think the perfect fit for you is is probably just uh physical precious metals david those seem to be uh steady in the face of uh all the economic uncertainty as a matter of fact it looks like with the inflation data is is pretty is pretty cool uh so that's what they're saying inflation is pretty cool right it's's what they're saying inflation is pretty cool right it's cooled off it's not it's not as hot as it used to be uh and I think that's that's a funny that's a funny term uh but there that means that there's most likely going to be a
Starting point is 01:49:36 rate lowering by the Federal Reserve and so it's kind of counterintuitive you think that if you would think that that would uh uh signal a lot of things for precious metals especially especially gold but it's again gold is is is going to go up based on them uh lowering rates and because it's going to increase the uh or decrease the purchasing power that all increase the money supply yeah so we're gonna we're gonna, I think there's been a spike in gold price in the last hour or two. We're 2048. Luciferian Bankster notes make a troy ounce of the yellow metal right now. So both gold and silver up over yesterday. And that's based off the inflation, so-called inflation data coming in a little bit cooler than expected. So they're going to be lowering rates. You and I
Starting point is 01:50:24 talked about this. They're going to lower rates. I So they're going to be lowering rates. I, we, you and I've talked about this. They're going to, they're going to lower rates. It's just going to, I think they're going to wait for as long as they can to, to lower those rates because this is an election year. It needs to, it needs to show the benefits of that fake money being propped into the system. Yeah. It's interesting because you know, big fear, too, is not just the fiat currency and inflation, but it's CBDC. And we just had five senators offer a bill to oppose Biden's lust for a CBDC. It was Ted Cruz, Bill Hagerty, Rick Scott, Ted Budd, and Mike Braun introduced the CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act to challenge the Federal Reserve's authority to implement a CBDC. Now, this may not pass.
Starting point is 01:51:10 This may just be an electioneering in an election year. But even if they're able to stop CBDC, you still have debanking is happening extensively. We just had the museum that focuses on the Battle of Britain get debanked in the UK. After they did that to Nigel Farage, they're doing it even to, it's a memorial charity that is focused on the Battle of Britain. They have been debanked. You know, it is, the whole system is so rigged.
Starting point is 01:51:46 That's why I say, you know, I, that's one of the things that makes me concerned about things that are digital things that are in the system is because of this aspect of it, and especially because I got debanked by PayPal and Venmo. If the show is when I went independent, uh, five months after I went independent, they, they pull the plug on PayPal and Venmo. And that's exactly what that was about you know now they've openly talked about that but those are the types of things that um that get me concerned over and above you know what's going on with bitcoin over
Starting point is 01:52:15 and above what's going on with imprinting money and the money supply and the inflation and all the rest of the stuff it's that in your face tyranny that has me concerned. Well, I'm concerned about it too because there tends to be, and especially in economic uncertainty and downturns and depressions, there's more consolidation by the majors when the smaller and regional banks go under. And that's where the pressure is first applied. We began our talk talking about the Canadian pension fund that sold the high- rise in New York City, the real estate holdings for a dollar. There's a massive commercial real estate bubble that's
Starting point is 01:52:52 going to pop. And, you know, Gerald Salente has been talking about that for years. It's been propped up by fake money in the central banks for the last four years, especially after the lockdowns and COVID-1984. but we're going to see a major banking crisis david and you look at what happened last year with ftx and silvergate bank and silicon valley bank janet yellen stepped in uh they bailed out they they stopped the the bleeding for for then but you know she was asking a question what about all the other banks uh are you guaranteeing is the federal reserve as the Treasury going to guarantee that these banks will survive a systemic banking crisis? And her answer was basically, no,
Starting point is 01:53:30 we don't guarantee anything. You talk about the FDIC and what you're covered in your bank. It's an opportunity. You got to remember, it's an opportunity for the larger banks to gobble up the smaller banks, which is which we need that diversity. The banks that I use for in both Texas and Missouri are independent banks. They're not national brands. They have enough branches to support me. But businesses like mine will suffer under something like a Chase or a Bank of Americaica and we can easily be debanked i've been debanked before it's not pleasant especially when you know i was young in the crypto space before they even had crypto banks they only have about two or three left as a matter of fact uh but back then i mean it was it was a game of musical chairs getting in just doing some buying a legal product and
Starting point is 01:54:21 sending wires to the exchanges and And I went through several banks that way. Of course, banks don't like cash. Banks don't like, especially my business where I'm wiring in and out all the time. It's not pleasant for them to keep up with. But luckily I have some good banks. But again, would that last through a major banking crisis and then have those banks being bought up? I don't think so. I wouldn't worry about that, not just politically, but just in the financial realm that I'm in. And that's one of the reasons why, you know, Catherine Austin Fitz and I've interviewed
Starting point is 01:54:56 her, I've interviewed Senator Nicely. She's in Tennessee. He is as well. And that's why they're working here at the Tennessee level to try to do something with a state bank, you know, to try to help the small and medium sized banks. Because if you look at North Dakota's experience, they have way more small and medium sized banks than the average, way more than even the number two in terms of all that. And so the state is going to have to have, and the people within a state are going to have to have some way to be able to process financial transactions. You point out these really, really big banks
Starting point is 01:55:33 that are connected with the federal government, with the Fed, they're not going to be about that, whereas these small and medium-sized banks will be more like that. But they just don't get, they look at it, and they, well, state bank, that's going to be a competition to me. And it isn't in North look at it and they will state bank that's going to be a competition me and it isn't in north dakota and isn't the way that they're talking
Starting point is 01:55:48 about it here in tennessee but they don't even understand the threat to them they don't understand this is their ally and they don't understand the threat to them from the reworking of the financial system and the threat that is being presented to them by the federal reserve and that's the big problem you just can't get people to understand who's on their side and who's their enemy anymore. They're very myopic. Yeah, they are. I mean, the banking industry, you go in and talk to your banker, they don't even know what I'm talking about with central bank digital currency, most of them.
Starting point is 01:56:20 And these are people that work in the industry. They're servicing accounts. They're making loans. And I start talking about, do you understand what the implications of that would be where the Fed takes over't. And they're just, the language is for people like us. We notice it when the Biden administration puts out the executive order, telling all the different, you know, the different agencies inside the executive branch to give a report on how they would implement central bank digital currency. We take notice. Unfortunately, the people in the industries, it will first affect because it would have to be a consolidation gauge. gauge matter of fact let me read this tweet this is robert kiyosaki he says this is uh three days ago he says please be careful banking crisis worsens threat of war grows central banks will push cbdc central bank digital currency to spy on us i am buying more bitcoin and silver
Starting point is 01:57:21 coins silver is the biggest bargain i will use silver as money, not fake US dollars. That's Robert Kiyosaki. These are some of the people that I follow who tend to have been right over the last 20 plus years. And I'm not paying attention to Jim Kramer or Janet Yellen other than to mock them and steer clear of their decisions and the implications. So that's really, remember, it's always a crisis that's used to implement tyranny. And that's what we're going to have to be very careful of. That's right. And when you look at it, CBDC and, of course, the other aspect of this is where you're looking, the biometric identification.
Starting point is 01:58:00 Visa is now jumping in along with a master slave card, you know, to put in. They patented a biometric data system. They have biometric data to scan people before they come in to buy groceries or before they go to a ball game. It's just everywhere. And so everything that you see is channeling us to this digital ID, this permission society where they have to know you and know everything that you're doing. And that's one of the reasons why I look at physical stuff that is outside of their purview, because we've got to start thinking about, you know, we've never those of us who live in America and haven't lived in a foreign country have never really operated in a gray market or black market economy we better start thinking about creating one because these people are going to shut down everything with this biometric system yes it's pretty amazing they'll create a control grid and we have to
Starting point is 01:58:57 stay outside of it if we want any semblance of liberty or freedom or privacy that's right that's why a gold and silver physical gold and and silver, absolutely important. And we can talk about cryptocurrency. You can talk about having your own wallet. I think people should learn that. I'm not fully endorsing that saying that's the, I'm not a maximalist in that way, but it just being outside of the dollar system, absolutely imperative in our time. And there's no other way around it. Learn what the difference between currency and money, you know, we'll talk about this hopefully every Thursday for, for a long time. And, and as we learn and grow,
Starting point is 01:59:31 maybe the audience can learn and grow with us. But I think this is, this is the challenge of our time. It really everything tracks back to the fake currency system, David, it's causing most of the problems and not all of them that we face today on planet earth. That's right yeah when i go back to it you know i keep looking at um you know i talked a couple of times about the omics in the last couple weeks and the key about where they drew the line uh was not they
Starting point is 01:59:56 didn't want to have motors or anything like that you know the reason they use horses and and stuff like that they want to keep it simple enough so that they're not dependent on anybody on the outside. That's the key thing. And that's really their focus of what they're trying to do, to make sure that they are totally independent, that whatever they've got, they can fix. We had some people when we were back in Texas, we needed to do some clearing on our property
Starting point is 02:00:21 and leveling and some stuff. And we found a guy that was really good. He was a Mennonite. And I was surprised that he was using heavy equipment, but he's had like one Bobcat and, um, and he would just get in this Bobcat. I mean,
Starting point is 02:00:34 that guy turned out a massive amount of work by himself. And he got into some areas where he got tangled up and it, uh, messed up the hose and everything, but he was able to fix it himself. You know, we didn't hear him for a while. We looked at what's happening. He's out there down got tangled up and it, uh, messed up the hose and everything, but he was able to fix it himself. You know, we didn't hear him for a while. We looked at what's happening. He's out there down on thing, fixing it, but he could do
Starting point is 02:00:50 everything, uh, with that Bobcat. Now he couldn't manufacture a host to put in it. So he did have some, some, uh, dependency on outside sources. And again, he was Mennonite rather than, um, than Amish, but he looked Amish. He had the chin strap beard and things like that. He kept his head down and he kept working. And he was like a one man show with he and his bobcat. I mean, it was like his horse that he rode.
Starting point is 02:01:15 He knew everything about that. And that's the key. I think that's what we have to start targeting towards in our own lives. We need to start developing skills, but we also need to look at ways that we can simplify things, keep them local so that we're not dependent on an outside system because the outside system is going to be shut down to everybody based on your political religious beliefs and whatever else they want to draw in to this as well i think yes and we learned this lesson over the last 30 40 years plus because of free trade policies this is a it's a glaring example we used to be self-sufficient we're the manufacturing marvel of mankind with arsenal democracy we stopped making things because
Starting point is 02:01:50 the corporations were given incentives to leave the united states and to not pay the fees and not not stand here for uh you know deregulation and and uh you know lower taxes they left and again there was a senator i believe in the late 80s it doesn't matter if you make a potato chips or computer chips, we can import it. Well, guess what? A couple of years later, we had something called the Gulf war. We needed to make some of those Patriot Patriot missiles, and we needed to import. It was eight different countries that we needed to import parts for the Patriot missile. So it did matter whether you made potato chips or computer chips in order to be sovereign and self-sufficient. You learn that from free trade.
Starting point is 02:02:30 If your supply chain is too spread out or you get into what they're doing now to these farmers. And like you've talked about many times where John Deere and others, you can't even work on them. You can't you can't get the parts. You can't do any of that because it has to come through their system and you have to like break it. You know, you have to hijack the system in order to even work on your own equipment. So there's less and less ability to be self-sufficient. And that's the goal, you know, not only of governments now, but their partners and multinational corporations. So it's up to us to continue to be decentralized as best as we can.
Starting point is 02:03:05 Yeah. I don't know where they are right now, but years and years ago, I started talking about that with Eric Peters, with John Deere. And you could not even buy the replacement part and stick it in yourself. You had to take the dealer to stick it in or they would brick the whole thing for you. You know, you didn't just pull this module out and stick another one in. Not going to let that happen either. Even if it's an official module. It's like they've started doing with inkjet printers.
Starting point is 02:03:30 They're getting very, very careful about making sure they don't have any knockoff copies. But it wasn't even about that. They had to be the ones to install it. And it is creating that kind of dependence and moving us out. But one of the themes that I've talked about, Tony, again, is trying to look at local level, state level for solutions. And like I was talking about the debanking that's happening in the UK where they want to take this Battle of Britain society and debank them or Nigel Farage and debank him.
Starting point is 02:04:01 In Tennessee, they've got a law now that would prohibit financial debanking for political and religious beliefs and so you know we can do things at the state level that we're not going to be able to get done at the federal level and again I'm glad that there's some senators who are pushing back against this CBDC stuff but I don't really think that's going to go anywhere in Washington and that all gets swept aside as you point out you, we've got some kind of declared financial emergency to take down the financial system. They'll just sweep all that stuff aside, but we can do some things still at the state level,
Starting point is 02:04:32 especially at the local level and even do it independent, you know, ourselves. That's why I want to look at things that are going to try to simplify my life. You know, when I, when I look at this stuff. I agree with you 100% on state level. That's our only hope. Like Obi-Wan Kenobi, it's our only hope is the state and local level. I mean, I believe I was listening to someone talk the other day about New Hampshire is pushing back against central bank digital currency
Starting point is 02:04:59 through the state legislature. So if enough states do that, it can be dead on arrival. I mean, they're still going to implement it. And again, there'll be crises surrounding this. Watch out for it. But if we work together on a state and local level, we can actually push back against CBDC far more effective than some senators in Washington. That's a no-go. That's a dead space. I agree with you. It's funny. There's so much voting and stuff going on now i'm just looking around i'm like i don't even know what to what what to vote for at this point like what am i doing i they got a national election coming up and i'm thinking well i you know i don't know i'm gonna i'm gonna support programs like yours i need
Starting point is 02:05:38 to get out more information uh i want to do stuff on the local level and talk to people in the grassroots but uh yeah i just i i grew up paying attention to politics, David, and I just, I'm not interested at all. It doesn't, it does not spark my interest. Well, you look at what happened in Michigan yesterday. And of course the Babylon bees got a joke headline. It says there's a, a argument breaks out between the people who are supporting uncommitted and the, none of the above people.
Starting point is 02:06:04 They're arguing about, you you know which one of these things that we support here and that's really where we are it's like you know this is such a ridiculous selection that is there and it just you know heightens uh the the importance of working at a local level because that's the only way you're going to get things done. Tell us what's going on at Wise Wolf. Well, we've got a lot going on, actually. There is a lot of product that I've just purchased from the trading floor that's going to be put into Wolfpack, some stuff that we've never put in the packages before. So you've got to go check out Wolfpack.
Starting point is 02:06:41 We've got some sponsorships that are going to be coming up soon, so it'll be a lot doing a lot more media uh so the the pack is growing that's great because better prices for everybody uh gold backs are now going in every single order that's something i've implemented in the last month and we're buying more more gold backs i'm usually making them in the dollar denominations into different states like new hampshire and utah and wyoming and others so we got a little bit of diversity there but yeah just a lot of great stuff going in the wolf pack i'm excited about it we're seeing price prices move a bit in the gold and silver market but i
Starting point is 02:07:16 was able to to buy some stuff in the last uh two or three weeks to to save people money i think i think we bought like i want to say like 6 000 ounces of Canadian silver maple leaves that we're putting in those are like still sealed in the boxes so I'm able to get to pass those say I think we saved people like three dollars per unit on those uh based on what you would have paid if you got to some of the majors so those are some of the things and that we're really proud of with wolfpack and it just allows us to uh to get people uh you know on a monthly basis that we we did the opposite of talking to a friend of mine last night saying you know most gold and silver companies they don't do this for a reason i mean you talk about the infrastructure you have to put in if you look
Starting point is 02:08:01 at the total dollar amount that i bring in it it's like, you know, the, most of them are looking for this in one transaction, somebody's IRA rollover or 401k. So I'm doing something from the bottom up and seeing something different. And there's a reason they don't do it, but I think we've just, we've hit a nerve with, with people because they really like it. There's something that there's something that I think it's a really good fit. We have a low cancellation rate and, and, uh, rate and so happy to support your program. We also do direct sales and IRAs and 401k rollovers and all that stuff too through Wise Wolf and DavidKnight.Gold. But keep paying attention to the Wolf Pack. It's fun. I really like the paper gold stuff and the little chiclet things that, you know, break off for both gold and silver to make it a smaller amount. I think those are great ideas, especially, you know, you got the gold,
Starting point is 02:08:53 you got the silver there, but it's also something that in the future may be very important to be able to break that down into smaller units that are there. So a lot of fractional stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Aaron day, when I interviewed him, you know,
Starting point is 02:09:05 again about CBDC, he said, yeah, he leaves the paper gold for people as a tip and an explanation as to what that is, you know, what that's about and why that's important. So,
Starting point is 02:09:17 and that's, that's the thing we have to kind of be selling the idea, even on an individual basis, you know, to people in the community where we live, how the importance of cash, the idea even on an individual basis you know to people in the community where we live how the importance of cash the importance of um you know getting outside of this system because again they're trying to drive cash out and they drive cash out that's going to be a very very concerning for us we need to have some kind of uh you know financial transaction
Starting point is 02:09:43 privacy is i think is what Catherine Austin Fitz calls it. And they did it pretty quickly during the scandemic. I mean, that's when they stopped the importation of dollars that were from other countries being put back into the system. And I thought, well, this is a tell. And then they said, well, we're running out of coins. Remember the coin shortage? I said, there's no coin shortage.
Starting point is 02:10:02 They're just not taking the deposits. These small businesses that they've nuked, youuked with the shutdown and saying they're not essential, all those deposits aren't being made. So that's the issue. It's not really a shortage. It's just those deposits aren't getting made, and they're still out there. So, yeah, they will go after that. And this makes it more imperative for us to have real sound, actual money outside of the system to, to trade with.
Starting point is 02:10:27 I want to say too, David, we got the, about what? 56 minutes left on the show. Something like that. Yeah. I tell you what,
Starting point is 02:10:35 on rumble, this is, we want to make sure this is, and we get a leap year. So we get one more day. You've got an extra, we got one extra day to make sure you get your gauge over. I will match any donations on Rumble starting now.

So I'll match anything on Rumble. I'll check Rumble here at the end of the stream. If you donate to David, I'll match it. Send him a cash app later

Starting point is 02:14:26 just mentioned this briefly it's babble and b thing the um what's going on with trump here a new poll finds a presidential race a dead heat between uncommitted and none of these babble and b headline dead heat between the democrat incumbent uncommitted and the republican opponent none of these one person said i'm a team none of these all the way it's not that i'm uncommitted and the republican opponent none of these one person said i'm a team none of these all the way it's not that i'm uncommitted i know good and well that i want none of these fools to be president see the problem is the office right the whole system is corrupt this is the elections are rigged from the very beginning from from the ballots and everything else. But our whole concept of the office of presidency has now been corrupted. We're all out there looking for a Caesar to rule us.
Starting point is 02:15:15 And we've been trending in this direction for a very long time. I remember the first time they started talking about a drug czar, a drug czar. William Bennett, so proud of the fact that he was called a drug czar. It's like, why is that something that you would even accept as somebody, as an American official, elected or otherwise? That should be antithetical. We had Caesar in the Roman Empire after he crossed Rubicon, and that was the end of the Roman Republic.
Starting point is 02:15:42 Why would we embrace that type of authoritarianism? But they like that. They like being in charge and bossing other people around. That's what these people in politics are looking for. And now that's what the grassroots people are looking for as well. Both left and right want a Caesar to rule us and to get even with their enemies. They fear the nation will soon tear itself apart over how much they hate everyone running for president. Yeah, we could have a civil war that is not about any principle. It's just over these different policies.
Starting point is 02:16:20 You know, and that has been throughout history. That has been the cause of most civil wars hasn't it well i'm loyal to this guy who i want to be king and you're loyal to this other guy that you want to be king it isn't that we want self-governance or we're not going to fight over principles no we're going to fight over who's going to be king and that's what i see shaping up in our elections finally in the bablin b story they publishing time, no opinion entered the race as a viable third-party candidate as opposed to uncommitted and none of the above. And of course, they're talking about the uncommitted stuff because that happened yesterday in the
Starting point is 02:16:57 Democrat primaries and the Republican primaries in Michigan. They have, instead of a none of the above, they have uncommitted as one of the options on the ballot. And there was actually an organized campaign by Muslim voters. And there's a tremendous number of Muslim voters in Michigan. They have now become a voting block. And so this was a Rashida Tlaib, who is a Palestinian. I hesitate to call her a Palestinian American because she really doesn't care about America. She's like Ilhan Omar.
Starting point is 02:17:30 I'll never forget when Rashida Tlaib got elected. You know, she was waving the Palestinian flag, and her mother was there, and they were doing the la-la-la-la thing, you know, that women do in those Arab Muslim muslim countries and you know it's like what and back home everybody's so excited back home so america is not your home palestine is your home we see this happening on ilhan omar i'm here to get the americans to do this for our home and everything and again you know you have these different special interest groups whether it is palestinian or somalia or jewish you know the people wearing their own uniform wearing their israeli defense thing to congressman to uh to congress i mean none of these people put america's interest
Starting point is 02:18:18 first if they care about america's interest all. It's about this foreign country. And so these people who have an interest in foreign politics decided that they were going to organize a protest of Biden over his support of Israel and Gaza. It was an uncommitted campaign and the campaign called itself, listen to Michigan, but actually it was listen to muslims is what it was about uh listen to palestinians uh it led and targeted uh toward the muslim and arab american community and they were they had a goal they wanted to get 10 000 votes
Starting point is 02:19:00 well they got 33 000 in the republican side and they got over a hundred thousand on the democrat side nobody likes what is being offered to us um i have um on uh on uh this is a message from travis let's see this is before before Tony announcing the donation matching on Rumble. Radis, bro, thank you very much. He says, how can Bitcoin ETF juice the market when actual Bitcoin from wallet to wallet isn't being traded? Isn't all on paper, hence it's an ETF. Well, again, they can juice the markets or they can go in the other direction. That's why I say, you know, stay away from the ETFs for for gold and silver they're manipulating the markets for gold and silver as well so these
Starting point is 02:19:50 institutions can get in and they can um you know use this it's a derivative and again it's very much in character like what you saw with the mortgage derivatives that that created the mortgage crisis in the mid-2000s. Once these people create these financial structures that are really fiat, just like the fiat currency, they can take something like Bitcoin or gold and they can start messing with it like it was a fiat currency. That's why I like to stay out of the stock market. I like to sit on this stuff and just have something that's
Starting point is 02:20:26 simple and physical. I want to simplify my life. You know, as you get older, you start looking for comfortable clothes and investments that you're comfortable with as well. Also on Rumble, Pam Nav, thank you very much. I appreciate that. She said, if only we could have a true Christian for our present. Alas, we must focus locally and ignore the propaganda. Live not by lies. I absolutely agree. That's why I said you always need to start focusing on Christian localism.
Starting point is 02:20:54 Christian localism. And that begins with you and I, right? We focus, that's the most local you can get. What is our relationship with God? And then we build out from that to our family, to our neighborhood and community, maybe to our state, but we begin at the grassroots level and move up. And once we start to put everything, you know, centralization and power from above, that ought to be antithetical to everything that's American.
Starting point is 02:21:24 But it ought to be, you know, everything that's American. But it ought to be something that we look at as Christians and understand just how easy it is for an institution to be corrupted. As many people have said, it rots from the head down. That's the Greek proverb. And we've seen this as Christians. We've seen this over and over again in large institutions. Once you start creating large institutions, they begin to rot from the head down. And we've seen many Christian institutions do that as well. And so we should all be looking for ways to keep this personal, to keep it local. And we put our hope in God.
Starting point is 02:22:03 We put our hope in Christ. We don't put our hope in chariots or horses or men. And, you know, we try to move this. But as the person said, you know, what if we had a Christian? Well, we always can pray for that. And God can change anybody's heart and change their circumstances. So, you know, maybe the best thing that can happen to Trump, maybe he could lose everything. I don't know.
Starting point is 02:22:30 Even that would bring him down. I mean, they're going to have to, you know, give him the Nebuchadnezzar treatment does what kind of have to do with the Trump. I think that my, as a mad one pastor who said, yeah said yeah you know sometimes we don't ever know why things happen that are difficult but um he said um well i'd always be open to that you know am i having this financial problem here because um yeah i put too much expectation and money that type of thing and he said sometimes you know god's just trying to hitch upside the head with a two by four to get you to pay attention. And if you don't pay attention, he gets a bigger hammer.
Starting point is 02:23:09 It was like, yeah, I've had times in my life when it's been like that, I think, in retrospect. So we never can. It's difficult when we're going through something that is a trial. It's difficult to know, but, you know, we just, our response should be not so much trying to ask why is this happening, but to try to get closer to God, because regardless of what is happening, that's the answer. You know, if it's something something if god's trying to get my attention because i've been drifting away uh or uh anything else that has happened you know the answer is always uh to uh to get closer to god if you're being attacked by somebody else for some reason um on rumble um this is after the tony announcement uh freegan thank you very much
Starting point is 02:24:02 and said thank you for the match tony yes i really do appreciate again tony artaban said he would match the tips to try to get us up here at the end of the month uh on rumble guard goldsmith good to see you guard thank you so for so much for that he said you both spread the great information and cheer from new hampshire to y'all happy thursday thanks tony thank you very much uh jo Nationalist.

He says, cheers, David Knight and wise Wolf, gold and silver, uh, from Pat the plumber. Thank you. Uh, Jim Z seven says, cheers, David Knight and Wise Wolf Gold and Silver from Pat the Plumber.

Starting point is 02:26:01 That has been a real blessing to us. So thank you to Tony for the matching. so thank you to tony uh for the matching and thank you to all of you who have uh but then oh and on rockfin dougalug thank you very much i appreciate that and um uh so let's talk about um uh what is happening again um we're you know we're kind of on on the money thing uh but the uncommitted uh people uh again it was organized by rashida talib's sister actually and as they point out uh talib's uh district covers dearborn michigan over half of the population is of mid-eastern and north african descent and that interesting you understand how this has changed this This open border stuff and this open immigration is changing the face of America.
Starting point is 02:26:48 That's how we get people like Rashida Tlaib. That's how we get people like Ilhan Omar. And what is happening with this? You know, that 100,000 plus votes's 10,704 vote victory margin in 2016 over Hillary Clinton. So that's a significant, you know, that's a kind of a bellwether state, a pivot state. And he won it by 10,000. Michigan has one of the largest Muslim populations in America. And of course, you know, probably Minnesota is also up there. But, you know, the Somalis around St. Paul, Minneapolis is one person I knew who lived there.
Starting point is 02:27:37 So they used to call it Little Mogadishu because there are so many Somalis that had come in. The Supreme Court has weighed in on some of these trump trials and they have thrown as the new republic says a huge wrench into the schedule and it is what it's a big wrench for the democrats they wanted to accelerate this hoping that they could get a conviction of trump before the election regarding jan January the 6th. You've got all these civil trials that are out there. I don't think they, they don't believe that's going to affect the independence. And that's what they're doing a lot of this for.
Starting point is 02:28:16 It is making the Republican base stronger for Trump. It's making the Democrat base stronger against Trump. But they're doing a lot of this stuff for the independents. And if the independents don't see a criminal conviction, they probably will dismiss a lot of this back and forth civil stuff that is there. And quite frankly, I think the actions being taken by this, you know, this half a billion dollars that they want when there was nobody harmed by any of the Trump fraud this time around. I mean, people have been harmed by Trump fraud in his private life in the past,
Starting point is 02:28:53 and certainly we were all harmed by his fraud in 2020 with the pandemic. Yet, nevertheless, people look at this and understand that this is purely political, this persecution. It's bad actors in the justice system there in New York. It's also a bad law that is there being wrongly applied, I think. But this January 6 trial has now been put on hold. They said it's very unlikely, unimaginable, said one person, a former appellate judge, unimaginable that it will happen before the
Starting point is 02:29:25 election and that's exactly what trump would like to have happen with that but he did and i see another tip there from b slice thank you very much he says thanks david have you ever tried getting ryan shalhavi on the show you know i haven't i i do cover a lot of his articles and i should reach out to him and see if he would like to come on i don't know if he does shows or if he just does articles i know he's also got a business that he would like to come on. I don't know if he does shows or if he just does articles. I know he's also got a business that he does. So between that, I don't know if he actually does interviews, but I should reach out to him.
Starting point is 02:29:54 So that was in his favor from the Supreme Court. However, other things did not go his way. There's been another local judge, this one in chicago in cook county who said they're going to keep um trump off of the state ballot there in illinois uh again treating him as if he was guilty of insurrection well he hasn't been uh found guilty of insurrection but they're going to say well we're going to apply the 14th amendment because he was involved in an insurrection he can't be on the ballot well there hasn't been any trial about that and uh furthermore the supreme court has weighed in and um you know
Starting point is 02:30:35 they're going to be making a decision about whether or not colorado can keep him off the ballot and so again this is something that made the news, but it's not really going to have any impact on this. Um, uh, because the Supreme court is the one that's going to be deciding that. Now with the Supreme court says, yes, localities can do that. And then you'd be off the ballot and Colorado and Illinois, probably two States that he wouldn't win anyway. Uh, but, um, I think it's interesting, you know, when you look at the fact that he is being treated
Starting point is 02:31:08 as if he was guilty of something he hasn't been convicted for. Haven't we seen that in the past, right? Isn't Julian Assange being, you know, murdered essentially for something that he didn't do? Didn't that begin under the Trump administration? Didn't he have a chance to pardon Julianian assange and he passed up on that alex was saying oh he's going to do it before midnight you know january the 20th no he didn't do it uh so when you also look at civil asset forfeiture isn't that an example of how people who have not been found guilty, as a matter of fact, not even charged with a crime, are punished, in many cases, excessively punished
Starting point is 02:31:52 with civil asset forfeiture. That's something that's been directed by the federal government, especially the Department of Justice, under Republican and Democrat administrations, and it went on throughout the entire Trump administration as well. Or you look at somebody else that we were hoping Trump might pardon, Ross Ulbrich of Silk Road. The fact that he was given three consecutive life sentences,
Starting point is 02:32:15 the Justice Department came after him because they wanted to make a point about Bitcoin, because they wanted to make a point about websites that were operating on what they call the dark web. There's nothing really any more sinister that happens on the dark web than happens on the regular internet. It's just that they don't have as much visibility. It's dark to them. And they wanted to shut that down. And they hid exculpatory evidence that would have created doubt about his
Starting point is 02:32:43 guilt. The fact that there were a couple of FBI agents that were being tried at exactly the same time that had the keys to the website and had embezzled nearly a million dollars. But Ross Ulbrich's team was not allowed to talk about that in court. And then when the sentencing came, the judge referenced allegations and they didn't even rise to the extent of a grand jury indictment he wasn't even indicted let alone found guilty
Starting point is 02:33:11 uh but they said well there's been allegations that on this website which is being also run by some rogue fbi agents have the keys to it there's allegations that he was doing murder for hire on Silk Road. So the judge used that for which he had not been indicted, had not had trial, had not been found guilty, used that to give him three consecutive life sentences so he could never get out of jail. A young man for a life in prison. And so his mother, Lynn Ulbrich, I interviewed multiple times and had her hopes up that maybe Trump would do it. But who did Trump pardon?
Starting point is 02:33:49 He pardoned a lot of extremely wealthy white-collar criminals like him. Like him. And now it's turning around to come on to him. You know, it's kind of, again, this persecution. I don't like to see political persecution but there's some justice in it isn't there to see some of the same stuff that he set by allowed to happen to other people cared nothing about why should i care about trump when he didn't care about the innocent being punished so he's now lost a bid to pause this $454 million judgment.
Starting point is 02:34:29 Of course, it's accruing at around $100,000 a day with the interest that's going up. He has lost his bid to put that on pause. He was asking for a lot of different things. And just to show you how rigged this whole thing was, this Judge Ingaran, not only did they hit him with this excessive fine. And, you know, the lawyers working for Trump are right about this. They said the exorbitant and punitive amount of the judgment coupled with an unlawful and unconstitutional blanket prohibition on lending transactions, would make it impossible to secure and post a complete bond. In other words, not only was the amount of the money involved excessive,
Starting point is 02:35:14 and again, was there really a crime when nobody was harmed by it? Well, according to the standards of the New York law, they make that a crime. Shouldn't be, but they did make it a crime. But they even put prohibitions against him borrowing the money. You're going to have to have this in cash. Well, nobody keeps, you know, even billionaire who's invested in stuff like that is not that liquid. So that almost makes me want to
Starting point is 02:35:45 defend him almost not quite not gonna do that uh i will say i don't like corruption i don't like corruption when it's done by democrats i don't like corruption when it's done by trump and kind of what goes around comes around it is uh in a sense there is a sense of justice to this but he did get a win to some extent from the judge who agreed that this blanket prohibition on lending transactions should be removed and he was right about that the appellate judge has also ruled that trump's sons junior and eric could run the company. They were going to be banned from doing anything about that. I mean, that shows just how biased Ingaron is.
Starting point is 02:36:32 However, this is all going to be done inside the state system. Now, I showed the Supremes the other day. In fact, the New York Supreme Court had six judges and everything. I thought that it would go up from the appellate court to the Supreme Court. I figured the Supreme Court was going to be supreme. But it seems like they've got a lot of different appellate things, and the Supreme Court has certain things that they hear. And so it most likely will not be going before Diane and the Supremes,
Starting point is 02:37:01 six black women, with black women representing one and a half percent of the lawyers there, but 100% of the Supreme, six black women, with black women representing 1.5% of the lawyers there, but 100% of the Supreme Court are black women. How's that for DEI? But that is not going to be the case. Still, I don't think that he's going to get an honest trial anywhere in New York, and it's not going to go in the federal system either. But I want to talk about what is happening within his his legal crew here because i think it
Starting point is 02:37:29 is truly amazing uh what alina haba is doing but i want to acknowledge some of the people who've left tips as tony is uh doing the matching here um b turner 170 thank you very much thank you david and to tony for matching donations on rumumble. Thank you. On Rockfin, Max B. Thank you. He says, thanks for the matching. And David, for all the work you do for us means a lot. I really do appreciate that. And on Rumble, Delta Mike, 8384.
Starting point is 02:37:56 Thanks, David, for sounding the alarm. God is the answer. Thank you for acknowledging that we need his kind of wisdom. Wisdom which leads to action. That's right. It's not enough just to say to your neighbor when there's something happening, well, you know, I hope everything works out for you. Go on your way and may you be well clothed and fed, right? No, if it's in our power to do something about it, we need to do something about it. And there are some things that we can do. And if we get misdirected
Starting point is 02:38:27 into activities that are not going to make a difference, that is the key thing that we need to be looking out for. And that's why I talk about this. It's not just to rag on Trump, even though I'm very angry at how he betrayed this country, how he joined with the globalist agenda more so than any other political leader in the world. He created the shots and he did all the lockdown mask and social distancing that everybody else is doing at the same time, but he created the shots and he used our money to create the shots and to make Pfizer and Moderna wealthy. So I've got a beef with Trump. But nevertheless, you know, one of the main reasons I focus on this is because I don't want to see people putting their hope in Trump.
Starting point is 02:39:15 Don't put your hope in, as Patrick Henry said, trust no man. But bind them down with the chains of the constitution. And, uh, when it comes to your life and I just, I keep looking at the story about this and the developments and all the other stuff about the guy who set himself on fire, um, you know, just protesting things, uh, even that kind of extreme protest is, uh, there, there's a place for protests, certainly not a place for suicide, uh, not a place for despair. Uh, if you were trusting in God, you don't need to despair. And that's why I want people to focus on that. Um, on rumble, Michael DeSilvio, have you ever tried getting Peggy Hall on the show? No, I haven't. It's a familiar name, but I'm not,
Starting point is 02:40:06 I can't place it right now. And let's see. Volhar is now a monthly supporter on Rumble. Thank you very much. I really do appreciate that. Thank you. Let's talk a little bit about what is going on with his attorney, Alina Haba. She insisted 10 days ago, on the 19th of February, you know,
Starting point is 02:40:28 just as we had the judge slap it down and say, no, you're not getting any more time on this stuff. You know, how is he going to get together alone? Maybe, you know, I don't know, but you know, Jacob Rothschild just died last week. So I know he's going to get sick and the Rothschilds bailed him out with his casinos once before, but I don't know if he can pull that chain again. But his attorney was saying 10 days ago he didn't need it. She said he has lots of cash and will be able to pay the roughly $35 million bond
Starting point is 02:40:59 on his $355 million fraud verdict in 30 days, but she won't say if he will have to sell off his assets. So this is what was reported with multiple interviews that she did. The Trump will post the 34, $354 million ruling and the fraud trial. And of course that's going up very rapidly. And we now see that just like trump uh she was filled with empty boasting right very much just like him said he had lots of cash to pay for all of this and um here she is talking
Starting point is 02:41:40 about his money so judge engeron says that he wants this $350 million within 30 days. Now, I know that you're planning on appealing this, but you've still got to put up the full amount pending that appeal. Does Donald Trump have that kind of money sitting around? I mean, he does. Of course he has money. You know, he's a billionaire. We know that.
Starting point is 02:42:07 Oh, yeah. He's got that kind of money. No problem no problem he's a billionaire he's got all that kind of money and she told the same story multiple times on multiple interviews one of them another one she said um she said i can tell you what the rules are within 30 days even if we choose to appeal this we will have to post the bond which is the full amount and then some not 10% that was in the headline of that. We will be prepared to do that. She said bond agents typically charge 9% as a form of insurance in order to put up the money. She says, uh, what we're trying to do between this case and my last case, uh, what they're
Starting point is 02:42:41 trying to do is to put him out of business. In other words, the other one was the, uh, one was the uh the gene um what's her name you know a case about rape and defamation um she said this isn't going to work she said this is a scare tactic and they picked the wrong person but it appears that trump has picked somebody who's just like him you. She was paid three and a half million dollars. And she's talking about Trump. She says that Trump, he's strong, he's resilient, and he happens to have a lot of cash. Well, you know, she's been making the rounds. She's become something of a celebrity apprentice herself. And so she's making all these talk show rounds talking about herself bragging about how strong resilient and rich donald trump is here's what
Starting point is 02:43:33 she had to say about herself on one of the shows somebody said to me alina would you rather be um would you rather be smart or pretty and i I said, oh, easy, pretty. I can fake being smart. I meet him all the time, Alina. Maybe she's not very good at faking either one. I don't know. And it's going to make me, you know, I'm sure there'll be some Washington Post article
Starting point is 02:43:57 about it tomorrow, Daily Beast, my favorite. But listen, like you have to be honest. It doesn't hurt to be good looking in this world, in the PR world, on TV. It doesn't hurt. And when you're good looking, that's great. But it can also mean people think you're stupid or people think that President Trump hired me because I was good looking. That is absolutely not the case. I feel pretty.
Starting point is 02:44:21 Oh, so pretty. I feel pretty and witty and gay. And I pity any girl who's in me today. I feel charming, oh so charming. It's alarming how charming I feel. And so pretty that I hardly can believe I'm real. Yeah, I can hardly believe she's real either. You know, Stephen Sondheim, he had great lyrics.
Starting point is 02:44:48 And he did feel gay as well. I think it's kind of known for that. Yeah, West Side Story there. Trump is estimated to be worth more than $2 billion, but much of his wealth is tied up in partnerships and complex real estate holdings, including two dozen buildings and a domestic and overseas golf and real estate empire.
Starting point is 02:45:07 Does she know that? Which is she faking? Is she faking the pretty or the smart or whatever? Of course, the pretty doesn't last too long, and maybe the smart is not going to last too long either. But again, she got paid $3.5 million. Where did that money come from? Well, it came from the Save America PAC.
Starting point is 02:45:29 Do you remember that? That was Save America was the thing that he set up as part of the January the 6th grift. Isn't that interesting? And they're paying his legal fees. Almost all of it came from Save America. She has been paid $3,586,000, and $3.48 million of that came from the Save America PAC. That was the donation thing that Trump set up. He made $250 million that he fleeced his supporters for between the election and january
Starting point is 02:46:07 the 6th that's what he's paying his legal expenses out of now paying her uh for that uh so um and that was paid between february of 2022 and of june 2023 she made $3.5 million from that. Speaking of how smart she is, the trials, they call it being bench slapped. Bench slapped Trump attorney, Alina Haba, acted more like a lawyer when the former president was not in the room. So that was one of the lawyers for, uh, Eugene Carroll, um,
Starting point is 02:46:51 her courtroom antics during the defamation trial. Uh, as people said, uh, the, um, lawyer who opposed her said she acted more like a lawyer when the former president wasn't around and buzzing in her ear.
Starting point is 02:47:02 You could definitely see a difference between her sort of style when he was in the courtroom and when he was not there. He said she was much more disciplined and frankly acted more like a lawyer when Trump was not in the Manhattan federal courtroom. Yeah, it was, it was very contentious back and forth. And the judge threatened her repeatedly over her conduct. When Trump was in the court, he said, you could hear him telling Habba when to object
Starting point is 02:47:31 and muttering things and loudly being frustrated with her. I think she felt like she had to say things to the judge and to us and sort of put on a performance. Hey, she's getting paid millions of dollars for this, of course. I think that she had a hard job. In the same interview, Carroll's attorney, Roberta Kaplan, said that Habba regularly yelled at U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan during the trial.
Starting point is 02:47:58 Throughout the civil trial, Habba repeatedly frustrated the judge. In a single day, the judge bench-slapped Habba at least 14 times over basic law, and on Friday even threatened to send her to jail for interrupting. Well, the bottom line is that he does not have the cash to stay the judgment pending appeal. And as one anti-trump website put it just like in the wizard of oz we are getting a look behind the curtain at trump's business empire and learning that it wasn't what he portrayed see that's the interesting thing right now nobody was harmed by his inflated financial statements except except, interestingly enough, Trump, because now he doesn't.
Starting point is 02:48:49 He pointed out he's got all of this money and all this, but he doesn't have the money to pay for these fines. They bumped the fines up to beyond what they believed that he had in cash after seeing what his real financial statements were trump's business empire and learning that it isn't what he portrays after trump and alina haba claimed in his deposition and on statements to the media that he had quote plenty of cash as i've just shown you to put up the money to stay the imposition of any judgments pending appeal, it appears that it was all just a lie, like everything else. And it's a perfect example of what is going on. Because on the one hand, on the Democrat side, we have them, it's a criminal persecution, not a prosecution. He's being persecuted by the Democrats. He's being persecuted unjustly with this law. But at the same time, we see all of this endless empty boasting by Trump and by his lawyer about what they are capable of doing.
Starting point is 02:49:55 And isn't that perhaps the best picture of his career uh even as president all this empty boasting from the democrats while they are unjustly and criminally running this country uh trump is there and he's bragging about all the different things that he can do and he's just you know he can't he can't write the checks for what he's bragging about at the same time yesterday, we had this judge who is a railroading him in Garan. I got an envelope with white powder sent to him. This just happened to Donald Trump jr. a week or so ago. And you know, when that happens, it's kind of like your house getting swatted. Everything comes, they have to go through and clean everything out and test what this is. And, uh, so, uh, but I don don't know maybe this is i don't
Starting point is 02:50:46 just a guess has anybody checked to see what hunter biden is doing i mean when you get a political figure and you get you get a an envelope of white powder in it and i just wonder if it's uh hunter barton hunter hunter biden is having a party somewhere uh forgot to put in the invitation. But yeah, this is going back and forth for both sides here. Finally, Mitch McConnell, Glitch has said that he is going to step down from leadership. He says it's time to get somebody else a chance with this. Well, it was time for somebody else to have a chance back in 2020 when he ran for re-election but just as we have seen with diane feinstein with darth vader ginsburg and others like that they seem to think that they're going to live
Starting point is 02:51:36 forever and they get into a situation you know mitch mcconnell is and it's not that he's all that old especially by American politicians standards, since we have a gerontocracy right now, we have people, a lot of people, even in their late seventies, mid eighties and things like that, that are there. But he is in bad health. You know, he's frozen up several times. They had a very bad fall as well. And he says, he's not going to resign.
Starting point is 02:52:07 He's going to stay in office he's just resigning as the leader of the republicans in the senate and again i'm not a mcconnell supporter i think he's betrayed us on a number of issues most recently of course the the wars and things like that but he's major betrayal on allowing this bluff of the paris climate so-called accord as a treaty he should have called their bluff all of the republican senators should have called the bluff but especially mitch mcconnell so many i don't support him on issues at all but if he dies before his term is over, and of course, if he dies before the election in 2026, then Democrat Andy Beshear, who's governor in Kentucky, will be able to replace him. And he can put a Democrat in there. That's why I said he should not have run in 2020 because of his health issues. And so it's a bit of a denial about it, which makes me think all.
Starting point is 02:53:11 That's why when you look at these people in power and how they want to just keep going and going and going. Pelosi is another one. I wonder if there's a lot more to the health issue than is actually being publicly talked about. And if he does die before the next election, there'll be a Democrat put in there. And once somebody gets put in, it's really hard to get them out. We'll be right back. oh We'll be right back. You're listening to The David Knight Show.

All right, in the 10 minutes or so, I want to respond to some emails that I've gotten and some good tips from some stories. Chris sends this and he says, you know, when I first read about the many tens of millions of ghost donations in 2020 and 2022, it immediately occurred to me that this was where much of the Ukraine money was going and why they were so frantic to push more funding, even though the Ukrainians have lost and the weapons being funded aren't even made and won't be delivered
Starting point is 02:55:18 for months and years. It's also why they were so adamantly against tracking and auditing all the money. And, of course, when they do audit Pentagon money, they have failed all their – they've supposedly done audits for the last six years, and they failed every single one of them. Not even close. But what he did was – and, you know, when we look at what is happening with Ukraine, of course, it is loaded with corruption.
Starting point is 02:55:44 People – even the people who supported the Ukrainian side said they've had money and weapons have been leaking out for the eight years that civil war was being prosecuted by the CIA installed government in Ukraine. During that civil war for eight years, the money and the weapons that were there were all disappearing. And it's gotten even worse now with this stuff coming in. But it was just a tremendous amount of corruption there. Is that going to be channeled back to the politicians? Certainly in one way or the other. Because, of course, the military industrial complex,
Starting point is 02:56:24 when we look at Mitch McConnell as somebody like that, certainly in one way or the other because of course the military industrial complex is you know when we look at mitch mcconnell as somebody like that the military industrial complex is going to be supporting uh through legal channels um not necessarily through uh underground contributions but they'll do it through legal channels through political action committees and things like that they will support the politicians who support their wars. And this is a big part of that war. A big part of the war is training and testing out tactics and things like that. I saw this even going back to the Vietnam War.
Starting point is 02:56:58 And it's very, very apparent to me just watching what was happening as a teenager. But then even more apparent when I was at Texas Instruments, one of the groups that I interviewed with, because when you go there, they have a lot of different groups that you interview with. I was not interested in working with them, but they were making some of the missiles, and some of them had gone back to the Vietnam period.
Starting point is 02:57:26 And so, you know, there was Vietnam gave them a chance to develop more sophisticated weapons. You know, just as you have the military industrial complex that creates these weapons, they use it as a proving ground and a testing ground. The military uses it as training for their soldiers. So they have combat experience and things like that. And so that's one of the reasons that they have these wars and as you look at this it's pretty obvious on social media as the different groups are are pushing out videos of the capability of the machinery and so as i mentioned you know the m1 abrams tank which is still the state-of-the-art tank even
Starting point is 02:58:06 though it's decades old maybe they've made some improvements i'm sure they have in the unruining way but it's still basically a tank that's been around for a long time the tanks are not doing that well in these battles and we'd seen multiple uh video of germany's leopard, uh, two tanks, uh, getting destroyed by, by Russians, uh, easily done by these, uh, attack drones from above. And, um, so there were pictures of the first M one Abrams tank to see battle. And they show it going down this muddy road and it fires and you see some explosion in the distance that hits its target and then another explosion hits another target further on.
Starting point is 02:58:45 It's like, yeah, look at this. And it's like, uh, you know, uh, a video of a Ford truck, you know, taking on rugged terrain or something, right? It's a marketing thing. And, uh, within a few days, the Russians destroyed it and they took pictures of it burning and put it out there. This is the back and forth that's happening with the military industrial complex. It's a big business and uh you know they really don't care if people are dying because it's really about the money for them just like it is for the pharmaceutical companies
Starting point is 02:59:13 and so um chris sends this thread about campaign finance and specifically leticia James, one of the most aggressively political DOJ type of people. She's an attorney general of New York who is coming after Trump. And she's come after a lot of political figures. She's the one who had the ambition of shutting down the entire NRA over allegations of inappropriate conduct by Wayne LaPierre and others. That was shut down by the judge. So you can't shut down the NRA for what they're doing. The NRA is in general is not guilty of this, but they did hit Wayne LaPierre with a massive fine.
Starting point is 02:59:56 And one other individual that was there also had a fairly large fine. The third individual did not get fined. Uh, but anyway, um, she's very very political and so this person said let's look at um where did she get her money she said james was elected as new york attorney general in 2018 re-elected in 2022 prior to that she was the new york city public advocate for four years and a new york city city council member for eight years prior to that see one of the reasons she's doing a lot of this political stuff is because she's got a political ambitions for much higher office.
Starting point is 03:00:31 If she can get Trump, she's going to be a big hero to the Democrats. Prior to elected office, she was a public defender for legal aid. In other words, Letitia James is a lifelong public servant. I put the servant in quotes, I think. And other than a mishap in the 2010s when she neglected to list the Brooklyn brownstone that she owns and rents out on her financial disclosure forms, she hasn't had any public scandals. But with that being said, I'm not quite sure what I was expecting to find, but I do know I wasn't expecting what I did find.
Starting point is 03:01:04 So the first thing you notice when you download and sort the expenditures of any politician running for reelection in a safe seat is how they use their campaign funds to supplement their lifestyles to a degree that middle America could never dream of. What do I mean? Well, in 2023 alone, James spent over $28,500 on hotels. Over 15,000 of that was spent on luxury hotels in Puerto Rico. And then she has spent over $84,000 on airfare to fly herself all over the country because she rents private jets. And she's built her campaign over $20,000 a year for meals.
Starting point is 03:01:41 And no, these are not large catering events. These are luxury meals. There's receipts for meals. And no, these are not large catering events. These are luxury meals. There's receipts for everything from $18 at Dunkin' Donuts to $165 at an oyster bar in Massachusetts, or then $700, $700 meal at a steakhouse in Brooklyn. I've never had a $700 meal. That must be really big. It's bigger than an all-you-can-stand buffet at one of these cheap restaurants. Then there's thousands of dollars spent on Ubers and Lyfts. Tens of thousands of dollars spent on office at everywhere from Target to BJ's wholesale. Over $7,000 dropped at a nightclub in New York City and billed as an office expense. An office expense at a nightclub.
Starting point is 03:02:36 Multiple stays at the Beverly Hills Wilshire. $65,000 in reimbursements to campaign consultants, which could literally be anything. Can anyone tell me why a state attorney general would need to spend over $300,000 in a single year on campaign consultants when they just won an election the previous November? Why could they possibly be consulting on? Well, maybe it's the next office up that she wants to go for. But considering the high bar that she set for Trump in his civil fraud case, as I joked about that, they said, well, we cannot tolerate any kind of inappropriate behavior. Right. Yes, nobody was harmed by this, but there were exaggerations made on his financial statements. We can't tolerate that.
Starting point is 03:03:18 And I said, what a joke. You know, to try to pretend they've got such a high standard in New York City. Considering the fact they set this high standard, it's a little bit galling that she plays so fast and loose with what she deems to be, quote, legitimate campaign expenses. $4,335 at Nathan's Lux Lifestyle on Martha's Vineyard last August. Hmm. $5,122 dropped at the 48 Lounge in New York City last September under, again, the expense code office.
Starting point is 03:03:52 So you might be wondering, where does all this money come from? Well, it seems that she's got ghost donor bots when you start to look at her contributors. And it gets more and more interesting. But this is the type of thing that we see from politicians all the time. And there is, when you look at what is happening in New York and in California, the way these people are owned,
Starting point is 03:04:17 not just by the military industrial complex, but by these other interests and these other global interests, New York, again, other interests and these other global interests new york again suing a major beef producer over environmental impact of products this is attorney general leticia james again who is now trying to shut down beef production out of New York. You know, the first program I did when I had my own program at Infowars was to interview somebody in California who was trying to secede because they didn't like Trump. And I said, what can we do to help you go?
Starting point is 03:04:58 I just wish the people in California and New York, these politicians, would just go and leave us alone, leave us with our cars, leave us with our food supply and that. But these corrupt politicians don't want to do that. Well, we're running out of time. Let me thank people very quickly and thank Tony. Thank you so much for helping us, Tony, and matching this.
