In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. It's The David Knight Show. It's Thursday, the 16th of January, year of our Lord, 2025. Well, after the show ended yesterday, we saw that there was going to be a ceasefire in Gaza. Really? You think it'll last? How's the one in Lebanon doing? Well, we're going to take a look at that, but I think there's something else going on that's very political. History doesn't repeat itself, does it? But it certainly does rhyme.

And I think that we've got a very, very strong rhyme with something that happened with Ronald Reagan as he was taking office. We're also going to take a look at the L.A. fires. We've got Bill Burr out there because the officials, whether it's the mayor or the sheriff or the governor, they are all having such difficulty explaining what they have done. They've got to get in a court jester like Bill Burr to tell us that it wasn't mismanagement. But folks, something very serious is going on here. We just had the Biden administration. Do you realize that we're still under a COVID emergency? That's right.

And it's not that it's just that it's a COVID emergency now for five years that began under Trump and continues with Biden. But Biden has extended it to December the 31st, 2029, because he knows it's going to be a COVID emergency. Now they've got to keep those powers in. We'll talk about that as well. Well, let's begin with Israel and Hamas, the ceasefire deal that is reported. A ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas is expected to begin Sunday. Sunday. Let's see. What happens the next day? Oh, that's right. Trump takes office.

Oh, they must be really afraid of Trump. Remember, he just threatened Hamas. I've seen this before. Stop me if you know this. It's going to bring relief to nearly two million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip after 15 months of war and allowing for the return of hostages to Israel held in captivity since the Hamas attack on October 7. The deal would open the door for a possible end to more than a year of fighting. Netanyahu said later Wednesday that some details are still being worked out,

adding that it was hopeful that the deal would be, quote, finalized tonight. The Israeli Security Cabinet will have to vote to accept the terms of the deal, and then a second vote will go before Israel's parliament, the Knesset. If it passes both of those votes, there will also be time for appeals against the deal to be brought to the Supreme Court. Before Biden leaves the White House, this is something that is happening. And so who gets the credit for this? Is it Biden? Is it Trump trump is it israel netanyahu who gets the credit for all of this stuff both biden and trump so they were trying to they were the ones who did this i guess they were the ones who were biden was the one who

was helping to extend this, but Trump wrote first. Trump basically announced this before Israel did. He said, in all uppercase, we have a deal for the hostages in the Middle East. They will be released shortly. Thank you. He had warned that all hell would break loose in the Middle East. The contours of the deal are nearly identical to Biden's May proposal to begin a ceasefire. And that proposal was endorsed by the U.N. Security Council during a vote in June.

So what happened between June and now? For six months, nothing's happened. They had the contours, this basic idea. But why didn't it go through? Why didn't Israel want to do it then? Was there something, some kind of a deal going on between Trump and Israel? I said, we've seen this all before. If you remember, the Iranian hostage situation, almost exactly the same time. That lasted one month less. So this all happened in October, and then there's been a constant bombing and assassinations of civilians since then.

But we had with the Reagan White House, and of course, remember, the guy who was running his campaign was Wild Bill Casey of the OSS, one of the founders of the CIA as well. and said, don't release these hostages and hold them, not just through the election, but hold them until Ronald Reagan takes office. And so they released them right as Reagan was taking office. Same situation. Day before or the day of or whatever. The Iranian hostages were released. We later found out with the Iran-Cont that um the cia's um bill casey

who was working with reagan had made an agreement with them you help us get an office and what we will do is we will give you we'll sell you uh spare parts for all the state-of-the-art jets that the shah bought we will arm iran folks as everybody everybody was hating on Iran and we had the hostage thing going on and on and on. Yeah, Ted Koppel on ABC News did the dun-dun-dun-dun, dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun. Remember that? They, whatever, of America held hostage. And I used that for over a thousand days of us being locked down, began with Trump marching with his military people, all of them with masks. Of course, Trump has a presidential seal on his cheek.

Oh, yeah. America held hostage. Alex Jones didn't like that. But I did that every day I was there. and I continued doing it after he fired me so it was a it was a hostage situation but we were the ones being held hostage by Trump and everybody when when they released the hostages everybody was, yeah, they're afraid of Ronald Reagan. He means it. He means business. He's not like this limp-wristed Jimmy Carter.

Same stuff, folks. Oh, yeah, this is Trump saying all hell is going to break loose if you don't release those hostages and have a ceasefire. And what remains to be seen is what he's given them. Not just tens of billions of dollars in control of the White House. Who knows what else he's given Israel for this favor. That's the real issue here, folks. Making it look like he's, again, you know it went from the iranian hostage thing began in november the year before the election in november november the fourth and so then it goes all through that

year goes up to the november election and remember bill casey and ronald reagan left those hostages in iran for another three months even after election, even after they got what they wanted. They left them hostages for another three months to make Reagan look good. Think about that. And then what did they do with that money? Well, they started an illegal war in Nicaragua. And you should ask yourself where all this dark money is going and what dark purposes it's always being used for. And so perhaps, you know, if they had the contours of an agreement back in June, the UN is on board, the U.S. is on board, Israel, no, we'll have to wait for that.

Taking the role of Bill Casey, essentially. Let's make Trump look good. We know we own Trump. He's going to be installed. So let's make him look like a strong man. And then what happens? I mean, this is a ceasefire, right? Talk about the hostages. So Trump gets an inauguration gift from Israel, just like Pfizer gave him a million dollars. And what'd they get in return? Tens of billions of dollars when he locked everything down. And we're going to talk about this COVID emergency and how it's being extended till December 31st, 2029 by uh biden the biden administration yeah we're still under a covet emergency have you noticed people dropping dead in the streets oh that doesn't matter because nobody was dropping dead in the streets when they imposed it january the 31st

of 2020 the only thing that was going on was it was 10 days after Trump had spoken at Davos. There was nobody dying. They had six cases. Nobody died. Six cases in the United States. Chances of getting that are less than one in a million. But the pharmaceutical guy that bought his way in, the Trump administration, Alex Azar, declared a public health emergency after there were six cases, nobody dying. Six cases that they claimed.

And if you remember, when a push came to shove and the American Hospital Association said in August of 2020, hey, you're not going to pay us that bonus that you gave us unless we can show you the test you told us when this all happened that you didn't have any tests remember that they didn't have any tests at first this was a six a diagnosis of six people was not even six people with a pcr test hyped up to 40 cycles and magnified by 1.1 trillion times. It was nothing. They just pointed at somebody. Nothing like COVID. They said, you told us you didn't have the test. You told us that didn't work.

You told us to do a clinical diagnosis. We did. Pay up. We had a deal, right? You pay us, we kill people. That's the deal the American Hospital Association made. That's the deal that one doctor after the other made with the Trump administration. You pay me, I'll kill people. Now, what's this stuff about? As we look at the contours of this deal, which we don't know

anything about, during this six-week ceasefire, negotiators from Israel and Hamas mediated by the U.S., Egypt, and Qatar will work towards transitioning into a second phase, working out terms to extend the ceasefire permanently and end the war. You think that's going to happen? Will it be a peace or a pause? Mike Waltz was asked about this, and I want you to see the smirk on his face as he talks about this. And from your perspective, if this deal goes through and we enter what's characterized as the first phase, does does effectively mean the war is over? Does a ceasefire mean that Israel's, its work is done in Gaza for the foreseeable future? Well, I certainly think

Hamas would like to believe that, but we've been clear that Gaza has to be fully demilitarized. Hamas has to be destroyed to the point that it cannot reconstitute and that Israel has every right to fully protect itself. So, you know, all of those pieces, all of those objectives are still very much in place. Look, I mean, October 7th was a terrible day. They put everybody in a terrible position, including the Palestinian people of Gaza, whom they regularly hide behind and are willing to sacrifice and have sacrificed for their own sick ends and objectives. And so we need to get our people out and then we need to achieve those objectives in this war. And you've said every member of Hamas should be killed. Pete

Hegseth today at the confirmation hearing was asked by Senator Cotton something related to Israel, and he said every last member of Hamas should be killed. So from your standpoint, the incoming administration's policy is still Hamas cannot have a role in governing Gaza. Hamas can't have a role. ISIS doesn't have a role. Al Qaeda doesn't have a role in governing Gaza. Hamas can't have a role. ISIS doesn't have a role. Al Qaeda doesn't have a role. No, of course not. And it astounds me that people try to put them in some type of special category.

These are hostage-taking, murderous, rapist, torturers that never should ever have any role in governing. Some, you know, some would try to kind of point to the practicality. I don't think any of that is practical. None of it's acceptable. And we shouldn't subject the Palestinian people to that either. We shouldn't sell them short there. You know, look, many of them, as we know, have been brainwashed, but we'll never get to a better future we'll never get to a truly stable region if we don't carve out this cancer yeah yeah the guy's like what freeze the frame there uh yeah they should not have any role uh go tell that to netanyahu and the people who put him and put Hamas in power initially.

And we're going to kill them to, you know, eliminate them to the last person. And this is, those sick people and their objectives. Yeah, Hamas and what happened on October the 7th was horrible. And it's also what is horrible is every single day that this is continuing, that there's disregard for civilian life, that we have snipers killing children on a daily basis now for 15 months or whatever it is. And this is a big issue. But of course, Israel doesn't care about that.

They really don't care how the world sees them because they've got America's money. And they bought the presidency. They own Trump. Breitbart says, Trump announces a Gaza hostage and ceasefire deal. All glory to God. No, all glory to Trump, isn't it? Yeah, that's right. And you know, we've got people, I've talked about, you know, Christian pastors saying, echoing Netanyahu.

Oh, they're Amalek. Kill every last man, woman, and child. Eliminate them. They openly call for genocide and then say they're not calling for genocide. And as he's saying that, you have Ben Shapiro nodding his head in agreement. Yes, yes, they are. Amalek, kill them all. Kill every last one of them. Trucker Chris for the Wind said it's a total loss for Israel. Palestinians still in their lands receiving aid from the rest of the world,

being rebuilt with Arab oil money. The only difference is Israel is now a pariah. Well, we'll see. We'll see what happens. We will continue to fund their war. So Trump announced it. He was the first one to announce the ceasefire deal so that he could get the glory for this. Israeli officials soon confirmed the agreement. and then later on biden jumped in

and pretended that it was all his idea of course you know they did have idea for a ceasefire six months ago but that wasn't the way the politics were being set up these are people who will kill other people for borders for land they'll do the same thing to you our government their government kwd 68 trump will do all kinds of executive orders that sound good look for greater control of us and or benefit to the elite for each and every one of them i agree i'm going to talk today hopefully we'll get to it um all of trump's day one promises and how many of them he's already pushed back from. We'll see what happens. But yeah, day one.

Of course, we won't have anything to say about that until day two because he doesn't take office until this program ends on Monday. But, you know, they've got 100 executive orders. Trump said he's going to be a dictator on day one. Everybody says, well, he doesn't really mean a dictator. Yes, he does. Yes, he does. If you're going to rule with 100 executive orders, you're ruling as a dictator.

And as MAGA cheers, I would just remind them what the Democrats are going to do with that Trump precedent. I've called him President Trump because the conservatives back down and say, oh, yeah, that's fine as long as Trump's there. Well, how are you going to like it when you've got a President Obama or Biden or Lala Harris and they're going to rule by executive order? Remember when we were all complaining about the number of executive orders about Biden and it was something to complain about? Do you want to be ruled by executive orders out of the oval office trump attacked the second amendment with executive orders out of the oval office and then he shut this country down with an executive order and bribed people to pay to kill us uh alien poop evolution according to la la one- one third of America has died from the COVID thing.

I'll tell you what died. Everything else except people from there. They died. They died from ventilators. They died from remdesivir. They died from the Trump shot. We've had businesses that were killed. And we've been trained to accept universal basic income.

Man, I don't want a job. The government will take care of me. That's the other thing that died. The American work ethic under that. Denver Attaway. It's entirely possible this ceasefire campaign, quote unquote, is designed to draw attention away from Syria, West Bank, Lebanon, probably elsewhere.

Undisclosed. Well, sure. But it is also, I think, elsewhere, undisclosed. Well, sure. But it is also, I think, designed to make Trump a hero. Because you see how he is being worshipped in the MAGA media. Trump vowed 100% to end the Ukrainian war before his inauguration. Now he's saying it is up to Putin. Trump has washed his hands of a peace settlement, instead declaring that any resolution is now entirely in the hands of Russian President

Putin. So how strong is that? We're supposed to see, as a result of this, we're supposed to see Trump as an action hero, like Ronald Reagan. I i'm gonna get those hostages back when in reality they kept them locked up for months even after he'd won the election and so we're supposed to see trump as an action superhero he says i would fix that in 24 hours the ukrainian war and if i win before i get into office before i get office, I will have that war settled. 100% sure. Well, you've got about four days, I guess. And that was, he said that in March of 2024. Then three months later, in June of 2024, he said, before I even arrive in the Oval

Office, shortly after we win the presidency, I will have the horrible war between Russia and Ukraine settled. And we're going to settle it, and we're going to stop the death, he said. And he had said this all the way back to March of 2023. So from March of 2023 to June of 2024, he's telling everybody, he's going to have it fixed within 24 hours. He said in March of 2023, I would fix that within 24 hours. And if I win before I get in the office, I will have that war settled. 100% sure. He said in May of 2023, if I'm president, I'll have that war settled in one day, 24 hours. It'll be over. It'll absolutely be over.

That's just a few times that he said that. He's said it over and over again for going back to March of 2023. But now he's got a different story. Sunday night, he went on with Newsmax and had an interview. And Trump was asked, you said you want the Ukraine war ended in six months. What's the strategy to do that? Wait a minute. We went from 24 hours.

We went from even before he gets into the Oval Office and now it's six months. He says, well, there's only one strategy and it's up to Putin. And I can't imagine he's too thrilled with the way that it's gone, because it hasn't gone exactly well for him either. And I know he wants to meet, and I'm going to meet with him very quickly. Well, actually, it's gone very, very well for Putin. I've shown you the video showing how it's collapsing.

You know, going back in October, Ukraine is collapsing and Putin knows it. And you might say, yeah, but what about the casualties? You think Putin cares about Russian soldiers? You think Trump cares about American soldiers? You think Biden cares about American soldiers? You think Zelensky cares about Ukrainian soldiers? These people don't care at all about our lives. And they don't care about American soldiers. You think Zelensky cares about Ukrainian soldiers? These people don't care at all about our lives. And they don't care about this country.

It's about them and their objectives and what they can get from it. Putin doesn't care about the Russian soldiers. He sees the lines moving in big ways. And he really doesn't care. It's like the Civil War. Toward the end of the Civil War, they went through one general after the other. Robert E. Lee defeated them. And so then they put in Grant.

And Grant, it was as some people said at the time, and historians have said since, it was simply murder. He just kept throwing soldiers. We got more soldiers and they got bullets. And he just threw them in. And he pressed that advantage. That's what Putin is capable of doing. Same stuff that Ulysses Grant did to win the war. They don't care about their soldiers.

Not at all. You see, the soldiers is no different from ammunition. So, yeah, Trump says, well, I would have done it sooner, but you have to get into office. Oh, wait a minute. He was going to have it done even before he got into the office. That's what he was saying.

He said, for some of these things, you have to be there. At a press conference last week, Trump went from promising peace before he took office to promising peace six months later i hope to have six months i hope long before those six months we will have peace well what about israel are they going to stick to the ceasefire how's that going to work out i mean you've got mike waltz? Are they going to stick to the ceasefire? How's that going to work out? I mean, you've got Mike Waltz saying, we're going to kill every last person in Hamas, but let's negotiate with them first. I guess maybe they don't watch that program or that podcast. How's that going to work out?

We're not going to give any quarter to these people that we're negotiating with. We're going to kill every last one of them. Oh, okay. Well, that should work out pretty well for long-term peace, don't you say? We're not going to give any quarter to these people that we're negotiating with. We're going to kill every last one of them. Oh, okay. Well, that should work out pretty well for long-term peace, don't you think? And how will the ceasefire operate? Well, we can get an idea from how Netanyahu is doing the ceasefire in Lebanon. Israel is continuing to violate the ceasefire there. With around 12 days remaining in the 60-day israel ceasefire with lebanon

israel continues to commit multiple violations per day a number of airstrikes are being conducted in southern and eastern lebanon during this ceasefire by israel yeah there's not really any question when you're using airplanes to attack, right? I mean, if you're on the ground, you can say, well, they fired first. I'm just firing back. Well, not when you got an airplane and you're attacking them with airstrikes during a ceasefire. So a number of airstrikes are being conducted in southern and eastern Lebanon, along with a systematic destruction of civilian homes and villages near the Israeli border. Hmm.

That sounds familiar. Israel is supposed to entirely withdraw its military from Lebanese territory by the end of the ceasefire. The U.S. special envoy has, quote, guaranteed, unquote, that's going to happen. Guaranteed. Right there. There remains substantial questions about that. And the places that Israel has left have been more or less destroyed during their occupation. They'll leave when they take everything down to the ground.

Whether the pullout happens in the next couple of weeks or not, Lebanon will have its work cut out for it in trying to rebuild after the Israeli invasion. Their economy wasn't in great shape in the first place, and Israel destroyed much of the infrastructure across the south, as well as causing massive damage elsewhere, writes Antiwar. Denver Attaway says it is suspicious suspicious given one the timing two hamas negotiates out of cutter well their leadership has been living in cutter that's what i say you know um but anyway is it just me or is that weird given one of the usa's most important regional air bases and is in cutter that's right we have absolutely no leverage there do we? I guess maybe we need to make Qatar part of America as well, just like Greenland, right? For national security purposes.

No, they've had the leadership there living in luxury. While the Hamas fighters and while the people in Gaza are being murdered on a daily basis, these Hamas leaders have been living in our allies' most posh digs there all this time. And he says, and number three, it's the Iran hostage. Yeah. We're going to take a quick break, and we'll be right back. © BF-WATCH TV 2021 ¶¶ LSp4 2.70 The End You're listening to The David Knight Show. Hello, it's me, Volodymyr Zelensky. I'm so tired of wearing these same t-shirts everywhere for years. You'd think with all the billions I've skimmed off America, I could dress better.

And I could, if only David Knight would send me one of his beautiful grey MacGuffin hoodies or a new black t-shirt with the MacGuffin logo in blue. But he told me to get lost. Maybe one of you American suckers can buy me some at thedavidknightshow.com. You should be able to buy me several hundred. Those amazing sand-colored microphone hoodies are so beautiful. I'd wear something other than green military cosplay to my various galas and social events.

If you want to save on shipping, just put it in the next package of bombs and missiles coming from the USA. Okay, well, let's take a look. Better get those t-shirts to them real soon, because that war is going to end. And then they'll have to hold elections or something. Yeah, right. They're going to keep that one going as well um let's take a look at you know we're talking about a ceasefire but people are wondering if they're

ever going to cease fire in la it doesn't seem to be working and so people are scrambling the elected officials to try to explain themselves i guess uh when you look at Karen Bass, and she was confronted by a UK reporter from Sky News, she would not say anything. Nothing gave him the complete silence treatment. Listen to this. Do you owe citizens an apology for being absent while their homes were burning? Do you regret cutting the fire department budget by millions of dollars, Madam Mayor? Have you nothing to say today? No, she doesn't care.

Have you absolutely nothing to say to the citizens today? Have you no shame? She says that you're utterly incompetent. Are you considering your position? Madam Mayor, have you absolutely nothing to say to the citizens today who are dealing with this disaster? No, she's got nothing to say. No apology for them? Do you think you should have been visiting Ghana while this was unfolding at home?

This is the longest rhetorical question I've ever heard. Series of rhetorical questions. We all know the answers to these things. And we all see her shamelessly trying to run away from him. And this goes on for a while. He keeps following her, and he keeps peppering her with so-called questions. But, of course, they're very clear what the answer to those are. And notice the body language of Gavin Newsom when he is confronted by the press. Dealing with a myriad of issues.

I was just talking to Josh Green, the governor down in Hawaii. You had some ideas around some land use around speculators coming in whatever you know uh and the like so we're already working with our legal teams to uh to move those things forward and we'll be presenting those in a matter of days not just weeks yeah yeah he's talking to him working with him on this hey dude um and then we have the sheriff and he drops i played this for you yesterday he drops the uh depopulation word um and every conversation we're having about evacuations that depopulation uh conversation is continuously coming up that depopulation conversation is continuously coming up. That depopulation conversation is continuously coming up. Now, do you mean evacuation or does he mean depopulation?

Does he mean getting these people out of there and never letting them come back? Is that what he means? Well, so from the mayor to the sheriff to the governor, They're having a real hard time. And so it's necessary to bring in the court jesters because that's the whole purpose now of all the late night shows. There isn't anybody that does anything that's funny anymore. It's all about covering for the Democrats

and covering for the establishment. That's their purpose. They're court jesters. Look, they understand very well what Saul Alinsky said, as in that book, Rules for Radicals, that he dedicated to his hero, Lucifer. Saul Alinsky said, ridicule is the most effective weapon.

There's no response to it. Well, I've got a response to what bill burr did these fire experts why didn't you just fly a helicopter into the ocean and then i don't know because it was a hundred not wins you want to do that you want to do that at night you lunatic how are you this was definitely mismanaged That's a big word we're hearing now. Mismanaged, like some idiot on the internet knows how to manage the worst fire in LA, sitting there in his underwear. You know what?

Looking at the footage on the internet, I have determined that this here was mismanaged. Yeah, what do you know about it, Bill? You know nothing about any of this stuff. I would trust a guy in his underwear before I would trust you. You shill. Shameless shill. Look, you got to fly a helicopter and take ocean water from it while the winds are 100 miles an hour? I wonder how the guy that Karen Bass beat, Rick Caruso, I wonder how he saved all of his buildings.

Was it with helicopters dropping water from the ocean? No, he had water trucks. Was that something that maybe Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom ruled out for use, for their use? Because I guess those water trucks were diesel. We can't have any diesel trucks around here. Come on. Unless we've got a battery operated electric water truck, I'm not doing it. And we can't afford those things because I got to pay these DEI shill, these idiots that know nothing. I got to pay them $300,000, $500,000, $750,000

because they're a racist hire. Really? Is that it? No, it's not incompetence at all. Give me a break. Isn't it disgusting what they've done to late night TV? I mean, just go to YouTube sometime and take a look at the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Are you kidding? Go back to the early shows of Leno and even David Letterman at the beginning. He was about comedy. He wasn't about doing politics.

They've all become political shills. And again, because ridicule is the most effective weapon. But if you're fighting fires, you might want to have a fleet of water trucks. Because, you know, the wind could be blowing or something and we wouldn't want uh you know bill burr to do anything about that uh even cnn bill even cnn is saying that it is beyond the brink cnn says bill burr data shows that the la fire department is among the most understaffed in america not only do they not have fire uh fire trucks with water or water trucks or tankers they don't have any firemen

either compared to other places but it's not mismanagement no no the reason you see mismanagement everywhere because it's so obvious to everybody and what you're doing with your lies are obvious to everybody as well less than a month says cnn less than a month before the fire swept through la a group of long-time firefighters gathered at city hall to plead for more resources they were at the quote breaking point said one another revealed million-dollar fire trucks were sitting idle because budget cuts had shrunk the number of mechanics available to fix them. I'm going to say what people can't say, said Freddy Escobar, president of the city's fire union and a veteran firefighter. If we cut one position, if we close one station, the residents

of LA are going to pay the ultimate sacrifice and someone will die many people have died cnn analysis of the most recent data available from the 10 largest u.s cities and other comparable departments show the la fire department is less staffed than almost any other major city leaving it struggling to meet both daily emergencies and larger disasters such as wildfires. And I guarantee you that these other 10 cities don't have that kind of fire risk that L.A. does. Despite being located in one of the most fire-prone areas in the country, says CNN, the L.A. Fire Department has less than one firefighter

for every 1,000 residents. That compares to cities such as Chicago, Dallas, Houston, where staffing is closer to two firefighters for the same number of residents. Of the largest cities, only San Diego has fewer firefighters per capita. Up the coast from LA, the city of San Francisco boasts more than 1,800 firefighters for about one and a half million residents in the city and nearby communities, while L.A. has roughly 3,500 firefighters allotted to serve a city of nearly four million. So they've got about three times the population and only two times the firefighters that San Francisco has.

And then you look at what the people are doing, the ordinary people that are there. We're not talking about movie stars who, like Leonardo DiCaprio, fly out on their private jet, even as they claim that it's man-made climate change that caused the fires. One couple says,

if we leave, we can't come back. Now, they're at the Eaton Fire fire this story was from the desert sun i appreciate the listener who sent this to me i said um the paper says although their home was inside the mandatory evacuation zone the couple said they felt like they needed to make an effort to save their home from burning embers that landed in their yard and on their roof. And you see, this is the type of, this type of abusive behavior from FEMA or from local people who cordoned off and won't let the residents back in. This is what causes people to stay behind in hurricanes. And of course, to stay behind here during fires. They put their lives at risk

because of the high-handed arrogance of these government officials who won't allow them back into their property. I talked about this before many times. My sons both competed in a contest that was run by the Fraser Institute. And it was open to students from Canada and the U.S. And each of them won first place. And one year, one of them won first place. Another one won second place. And Whistler's story was contrasting what happened on the coast of North Carolina when a hurricane came through and the disaster afterwards because of a high-handed attitude of FEMA compared to

a tornado that went through close to where we lived, another town, and how everybody came together and solved that voluntarily because the state and the federal government did not get involved. You basically had private businesses donate food and supplies and clothing and all the rest of the stuff. They brought it in in massive quantities, left it in the parking lots of churches, and people went to the churches and they handed out the supplies that had been donated. The only involvement of government was local law enforcement getting around the areas where there were downed power lines and blocking that off to keep people from getting hurt. Other than that, the government had nothing to do,

and it was all the community that was doing it. Contrast that to what happened on the coast. People couldn't get back into their homes for weeks or months. I forget what it was, but it was a very long time. We had some friends who were neighbors, but he also interviewed other people who were in that area. And they said, well, I'm not leaving my home again next time a hurricane comes through. As the flames receded, these two people that they interviewed here, Bullock and Anderson, had to contend with people who appeared to be looters who swept into their neighborhood, seemingly for no other reason than to take advantage of their empty homes.

The first night or two, there were a lot of people with backpacks who were loitering around. They were walking up and down driveways and streets. The first two nights were terrible, Bullock said, noting that he could hear the booms of propane tanks and ammunition exploding in the distance as the fire raged he said it sounded like a rock much of the damage of the fire occurred on the first night but evacuation orders and warnings remained in place for more than a week later curfews were not implemented until days after the fire began to burn after authorities became aware of reports of looters in fire areas. A week since the Eden fire started, Bullock and Anderson remained in their home.

They could not leave their block because police had instituted a 24-hour curfew. With no power, they've been heating their home with a gas fireplace. Oh, isn't that nice? Not going to be allowed to have that in California. Net zero. And said that many of their neighbors cannot return because of the curfew. We're here until further notice, Anderson said, because if we leave, we can't come back. On a main road nearby, armed National Guard personnel only allow authorized vehicles through.

In other words, government vehicles. They said they've not been told when the curfew might end. only allow authorized vehicles through. In other words, government vehicles. They said they've not been told when the curfew might end. The few neighbors who remain have bonded, however, through the isolation. This is a common story. Communities coming together to help each other. Because the government, if it does anything, is harming them. Same stuff we saw throughout western North Carolina as as well we're grateful for the security we're just wondering where they were the first two days

and then you have this article from the wall street journal about another area this is about the altadena area i guess is the way you pronounce that still smoldering neighborhoods of altadena fires destroyed more than 2700 structures and about 80 people have defied orders to evacuate staying behind to protect what's left of their properties from looters and from more fires after losing faith and authorities why would anybody ever put any faith and authorities. Why would anybody ever put any faith and authorities? What would we go through in 2020? Why would you have any faith left? No lessons learned whatsoever.

Well, maybe this will help them to learn. Residents patrol the streets and interrogate strangers living in a Hobbesian world. In other words, a dog eat dog world with no rules because you know how effective rules are for establishing water. No way rules from your government rulers, uh, a Hobbesian world without electricity or clean drinking water. Some of them are armed and they're hemmed in by yellow caution tape at neighborhood entrances flanked by National Guard troops,

LA County Sheriff deputies, and also California Highway Patrol. So they got a standing army there standing on them. We do feel like we're in the Wild West. No, if you were in the Wild West, you would be much freer. You wouldn't have armed troops and multiple levels of law enforcement hemming you in. They said if they try to leave, they risk being unable to return. That's what they all know. On Monday, one of this person they talked to lubly is his name

one of his friends uh sandoval delivered essentials the real estate broker drove her white mercedes suv up to the neighborhood checkpoint and stacked supplies for lubly and others at the makeshift border they're going to patrol that border they won't patrol the border between the U.S. and Mexico. They will patrol the border with National Guard troops. This is California, the state of California. We'll put the National Guard troops in there to keep people out of their neighborhoods, but they won't use the National Guard

to keep illegal aliens out of California. So she drove her white Mercedes SUV up to the neighborhood checkpoint, stacked supplies for this person and others at the makeshift border. Things like water, bagels, bananas, grain-free tortilla chips, and other staples. One officer, as she was finishing, said, can you guys hurry up? We just got an order not to allow any supplies through and she said well can i hug my friend they said okay okay now yeah the humanity will come through with a lot of these people and there's stories in here about how the officers

are looking the other way it's like the prison guard you know i remember that that picture of um a uh prison guard in a nazi uniform and he's he's lifting up the barbed wires people are going underneath it he's looking around like anybody see this i'm gonna let them out uh but when they put in the robo cops the robot cops there's not going to be any exception to this stuff, folks. Not going to be appealing to the humanity of a robo cop. The Altadena holdouts had prepared for this moment. One of them, her house has a natural gas generator that supplies 22 kilowatts of power, enough for several refrigerators, making her one of the few neighbors with electricity.

She has 60 gallons of drinking water in the basement, as well as reverse osmosis water filter and hot water tanks for showering. She said, my old neighbor was a real prepper and I learned it from him. I also replaced my wood siding shingles with concrete ones. don't know if that's why my house survived she said well that had a lot to do with it um whistler was uh before he got hurt here he's looking at building a house with uh aerated concrete blocks because they're they're very, and you can cut them with a saw like you were working with lumber or something, and they are amazingly effective at stopping forest fires. They do not burn.

Police and fire officials say they're keeping residents from returning to burned neighborhoods because of hazards like downed power lines and precarious fire weakened trees. Well, here's the thing. Downed power lines, like I said before, go guard the downed power lines instead of prohibiting people from moving around. Isn't that a better way to do it? Instead of guarding the neighborhoods, go guard the downed power lines until you get a crew in there to fix it. So they said, don't try to sneak in in there it's not worth losing your life over well if you were doing what the people in that local community did what the police were doing there people would trust you and they would believe you and you would not be interfering with them you would just say

be blocking this off and say, down power line. People could see the power line was down. It's not about that. Ross Gerber, president of a wealth management firm, is among those who have been sneaking past the police to check on his house. And he says, I have no patience for any of them. After you survive this, you don't care what they say like 2020 on tuesday morning uh this 53 year old 53 year old said i'm trying to sneak in right now and it's super hard his voice winded as he walked um his voice was winded rather as he

walked briskly looking for an opening. He said, they're everywhere now. Using a map, he said he tried stairs and alleyways to slip past the authorities until finally deciding to retreat. He said, there are literally so many police. North Korea is easier. He joined with neighbors to hire a private water truck. Hey, Bill Burr, he didn't need to get a helicopter to bring in seawater. They knew.

They hired a private water truck. What was the government doing? Was it mismanagement that they didn't do that? He hired a private water truck and a driver to set by their, me and neighbors to set by their homes in case of another fire outbreak and so on saturday a half dozen residents pleaded with police officers to let them return to their homes they said we're not letting people up there there have been looters and i don't know who you are the police were guarding every single street, he said. And then this one guy, I'm sorry, this is a woman. I'm not sure, Marika. I don't know if that's a male or female name.

What is his pronouns? Don't they put that in there? Wall Street Journal? Then he got a tip from a friend. The parking structure of the Super King market offered an entry point that bypassed the roadblocks uh when sellers arrived she saw it's a woman uh she saw that her house was rubble she hunted for a safe which was intact and after she and her friend managed to try to pry it open she said they had to jump back the safe was burning inside because it was holding

all the heat think about that that. We've done that. Fireproof boxes that you put all your documents in, you know, legal documents and stuff like that, because it's such a hassle to get the stuff. But in her particular case, she had $40,000 worth of treasury bonds, and they burned from the inside out because they kept the heat long enough. Her house was gone, and so was everything else that was in her safe. Birth records, property records, sports memorabilia, family history documents, and $40,000 worth of treasury bonds. So think about that.

Nothing else to think about. A little, but this one guy had his house. He had a brick fireplace that he said he built by hand, and that was the only thing that was left. When hot embers had rained down last week, igniting lawns and trees, the neighbors who refused to evacuate stomped out spot fires all night to preserve as many homes as possible. If I had stayed and saved my house, I could have saved three of my neighbors. He regrets leaving. Remember, we talked about it

the other day the brain surgeon and his son and one neighbor and how they protected all the houses at the end of their cul-de-sac and it was tough they worked like five nights and four days or something like that and they had prepared for it had water, which the government officials did not have. His regret turned out into resolve, and he stayed overnight the past eight days to defend what is left in his neighborhood against fires. They're still springing up from burning embers, buried embers, I'm sorry. His wife had pleaded for him to abandon his vigil. He said, I could be having a Manhattan and a steak, but I couldn't live with myself if I did that and my neighbor's house goes up.

He said, standing guard gives me a sense of value and purpose. He's been wearing the same clothes, a sweatshirt, fleece pants, and LA Dodgers cap that he bought at Costco after the fire. He sleeps in his SUV. He wakes up to the sound of parrots in the sycamore trees, he said, and he keeps a nine millimeter handgun. On Monday afternoon, he discovered more holdouts in the neighborhood. A family of four adults. They were covered in soot.

They hadn't eaten for a couple of days. They eyed him with suspicion, and then he broke the ice by offering them bananas and the first few days after the fire neighbors said sympathetic law enforcement officers look the other way as this guy and his other holdouts slipped through the checkpoints to buy supplies at costco and home depot but after restrictions were tightened that Karen Bass doesn't have anything to say about fighting the fires and what she did with all the cuts and all the rest. Neither does Newsom. But they've told the sheriff and these other people, tighten down on the people now. Let's put the screws on them.

That's one thing they can do, isn't it? While the fires are still going in many other areas. So he turned to his family friends and acquaintances monday was the third time that volunteers came to the checkpoints like smugglers to deliver supplies it might be the last trip officers told him the supply drop-off would no longer be allowed that night he and others gathered before the mandatory 6 p.m. curfew to figure ways around the new rules. Some law enforcement personnel brought them sandwiches, he said. So they're not happy and on board with that either.

So he says, I get that they'll say that this is the rule, but it's our land, our neighborhood, and as much as I respect the authorities, we are more competent than them. Let us in to defend our neighborhood. Gerber and his neighbors have turned to their community. Their community has a WhatsApp page. Well, I don't use WhatsApp. Anyway, they had used that to talk about traffic and things like that but now they're using it to organize he said and we're organized better than any government the fires further showed him that communities need to be prepared to fend for themselves

after this disaster is over he said he hopes that his neighborhood will build, quote, our own fire-like militia. That's right. That's what this is really about. It's about people getting back to what made America great. And it wasn't government. It wasn't an executive orders from some preening, egotistical president. What made America great was people organizing themselves and their neighbors together to serve their own needs instead of going begging to a president or a government, especially not to the federal government. We'll be right back Thank you. you're listening to the david knight show well some of of the comments, Brian and Deb McCartney say,

Trump will get around, will get bumped off with a fatal head wound this time to start off the Iranian war. They'll blame it on them. Well, you know, certainly I imagine they probably are gunning for him one way or the other, but it may be a false flag. You know, the CIA laying all this groundwork. It was Trump trump awarded the assassination uh there in iran of um i guess the number two guy in the country um but you know we have a

rules-based international order don't you know right and the rules are that we can assassinate other people but uh how dare them uh try to to assassinate us? No, it's just the bullying that is going on there. Jeff Ingram, 3355, Trump's holding a rally in D.C. this Sunday. What's the odds they'll try another assassination? Well, of course, people are going to be doing that a lot. The question is, is the secret service up to it and also the question is um are they going to not even try to stop it are they going to allow it uh dg8 uh thank you for

the tip says david people like nuisance and bass have no soul they'll be rewarded for their part in destroying people's lives. They could care less. They couldn't care less. We expect this out of the left, but the right does it as well. That's right. It also says the scariest thing about the Trump presidency is that there's nobody on the right that will hold him accountable. They just make excuses. It's that other kind of never Trump. It's never Trump.

Anything goes wrong that he's in charge of. It's never him. It's always somebody else. Trump. Anything goes wrong that he's in charge of. It's never him. It's always somebody else. It's always the people that he put in charge. That he's not accountable for. Right? The buck doesn't go to him. So, yeah, they're not going to hold him accountable.

You can press that like button and try to help get this information out to people. That'd be a good thing to do, maybe. We'll see this we expect it out of the left but the right does it also yeah that's right i thought it was very frightening to see this kind of mindless hero worship around obama and i was really surprised to see it happen eight eight years later with trump by the right just as bad uh marky mark thank you for the tip says ev fire and water trucks won't work because they use engine driven pumps the batteries can't power the pumps long enough to extinguish any sizable fires yeah that's assuming that they can get the ev fire truck to the fire i mean mean, we used to have a thing.

Water is pretty heavy, isn't it? And one of the things that really sucks the battery down on trucks is that extra weight they got. Yeah, EV stuff isn't going to work. But again, why wouldn't they get water trucks? I don't know. I mean, is it really? Are they crazy enough that they wouldn't buy this stuff

because it's diesel powered? Yes. Are they greedy enough that they will take money away from firefighting altogether and give it to DEI officials who are pushing this stuff? Them sellers right before our recent snowstorm. FEMA canceled hotel vouchers for those in western North Carolina so they had nowhere to go. Because many are not allowed to return to their homes. And it's the local government that's kicking them out of their homes as well. You can't stay in temporary housing.

Wait a minute, what is FEMA staying in? Temporary housing. We'll waive the rules for FEMA, but not for you. And we're going to kick you out of the hotels. It is just amazing. Swamp lover or liver. I don't know which side. It's LVR, so I don't know if it's liver or lover.

Authorities. I thought this was supposed to be a country of freedom. Yeah, authorities. Listen to the authorities. Yeah, listen to people like Fauci or whoever the person is that's wearing a uniform and has a gun, right? If you aren't free to go to your burnt-out house and collect belongings, you aren't free. That's right. We are not free.

Speed Trove, 626. My sister is evacuated. The National Guard checkpoint guys fed her birds and packed up her cats for her, but she was not allowed to go into her house. Wow, wow. North American House Hippo, thank you very much for the tips. I appreciate that. And I'll just tell people, I don't know if we've updated the gas gauge. It should be at a quarter, but we haven't been able to get out,

to get to the mailbox yet, so we don't really know what is there. So thank you for the tip, North American House Hippo. Thank you. He says, good morning, David. Your resident former streetcar driver is loving your backdrop this morning. Yeah, I grew up in Tampa, and they had streetcar tracks that were embedded there from the early 20th century. And I always thought that was interesting. When I was little, I was questioning, what is this? And then I found out that my grandfather had been a streetcar conductor. And always carried a gun, by the way.

They didn't hassle people for that, or if they they did he didn't care what the laws were um but uh yeah i went back and found some pictures of uh tampa when had street cars had horses on the streets and a few like model a's and model t's or something like that uh north american house hippo has also said i've been rabble rousing i put up a video of stewart rhodes interview with the late john statmiller on january 19th 2021 where rhodes accused trump of cowardice and dereliction of duty good well i'm glad he said that i hope that he gets pardoned uh you know um uh joe biggs um got the stew the, Stuart Rhodes got the most of anybody, I think. And then it was the guy who was head of the Proud Boys who wasn't even there. So J.D. Vance, you're going to pardon him, right?

I mean, I looked at it and, you know, the guy that runs Revolver, Darren Beattie, he's pointing the finger at everybody. He's a fit. He's a fit. He's a, you know. And I thought there was a good case to say that about the guy that ran the Proud Boys because they made sure he wasn't there, like they were protecting him. And he had been an informant in the past. So I thought, yeah, maybe that's right. I didn't think that about Stuart Rhodes.

I didn't think that about Joe Biggs. And I wasn't really certain enough to point a finger at Ray Epps either. Oh, Ray Epps encouraged everybody to come. No, you're just covering for Trump and the people who ran and stopped the steal, like Alex Jones. Nobody went to Washington on January 6th because of Ray Epps. They went because of Donald Trump and Alex Jones. And it was Donald Trump that said, go over there, right?

They have a lot more culpability. But see, they make it all about one person. They pick out one person there. Whether or not he was an informant, I'm not going to go there. I'm just saying that whether or not he was an informant, it wasn't about Ray Epps. The focus on Ray Epps was to distract attention from the people who put them there and the people who then put them in greater danger by telling him, go to the Congress. I'll meet you over there, that type of thing.

It was all just a misdirection from all that. Gard Goldsmith, he says, that clip David played on the incoming Trump official talking about Hamas got me thinking about how many in the Likud openly have said that all Palestinians are Hamas. Yeah, including the kids that they're shooting, as some volunteer doctor said, once in the chest and once in the head, to be sure. The snipers are doing that to children, to children. These doctors came back, multiple doctors, multiple locations, talking about how outrageous that was. That's what's made Israel a pariah. He says, now Netanyahu and the U.S gangs funded hamas that's right and the idf the

israeli defense force committed rapes and assaults on their prisoners yeah absolutely right by the way guard goldsmith liberty conspiracy and every weeknight on rock fan and on Twitter. And Guard is going to do the show for us tomorrow. Monday was our 50th, no, 45th wedding anniversary. We had our 50th first date last year, our 45th anniversary, and we couldn't go anywhere. We're locked down. So supposedly everything is supposed to warm up enough that we should be able to get out of here tomorrow

and go get an ice cream sundae. And Karen is fist bumping back there. And Gard is kind enough to do our show as well as his Liberty Conspiracy. It's a heavy lift, but I appreciate him doing it. And he's more than capable of doing it. People always enjoy his program. So he'll be doing the show tomorrow, Guard Goldsmith. Eric, thank you very much for the tip. I appreciate that. And North American

House Hippo says, well, my employer was going to roll out its electric buses this past week. They have 40 of them with another 60 on order uh but they've postponed that we're going to talk about that coming up uh and the fact that amazon's got all these amazon electric delivery vehicles we just had somebody get a picture of them charging their electric vehicles, electric Amazon vehicles that they bought from Rivian. And guess how they're charging them? With diesel generators. We'll be right back. Good evening.

Tonight's tale is a story of paranoia and a most unexpected perpetrator, the common cow. Or more specifically, what comes out the other end. Yes, the air is thick with intrigue, as it seems that in our modern age of propaganda, even a humble bovine's backside can be branded a national security threat. The menace is invisible, silent, yet deadly. Carefully contrived to panic the masses into accepting the government stepping in, jackboots and all, with their solutions. Because who better to stop a gaseous threat than a bunch of political windbags? But one must wonder, is this truly about saving the planet, or are we simply being led to pasture? Is it merely a MacGuffin? The David Knight Show serves as a breath of fresh air for those who still believe that truth can stand up to scrutiny, and he's found that the government narrative smells suspiciously like a load of

bull so if you want to help others catch wind of the bs being shoveled out of washington please consider supporting the show and now back to our regularly scheduled program you're listening to the david knight. And here we are back in our regularly scheduled programming. And yesterday we had some comments that I didn't get to here and reminded me of this. I got one from Jason Barker of Knights of the Storm that you can also find on Twitter and Rockfin. He said they postponed re-evaluation of properties in Asheville that was due to be done this year. This means that people who lost their homes will be paying the full property tax assessed on what it used to be. Oh, isn't that nice?

Well, they kicked people out of the temporary wood shacks that have been built for them by the Amish. Because, you know, it's not built according to code. You don't have any electricity or water. So we're going to kick you out of this as well. Go live in a tent. Guard Goldsmith yesterday wrote, I can imagine when we're talking to kick you out of this as well you know go live in a tent uh guard goldsmith yesterday wrote i can imagine when we're talking to eric peters he said i can imagine large boat owners in the future offering people the chance to drive their cars onto the ships to get them repaired offshore and brought back to the mainland a bit of a play on f paul wilson's

short story offshore featuring a boat for medical facilities outside U.S. government regulations. Paul's medical background and his libertarian ideals combined. Yeah, that was an amazing thing. We were talking to Eric Peters yesterday, talking about the fact of what they're doing with HVAC refrigerants. It's not just planned obsolescence. It is banned obsolescence. They're going to ban whatever they want to make obsolete and they're going to go buy the new thing. And it made me think about Brazil again

and just how prescient Terry Gilliam was. He thought he was doing satire. He was actually predicting the future where you've got to have somebody going around clandestinely fixing air conditioning units and for doing that he gets identified as a terrorist crazy stuff um and we also had this comment yesterday too i wanted to read uh theresa andrea says i'm listening and reading at the same time. You'll all be happy to know that blood accounts for 2.69% of U.S. exports, according to the Census Bureau. They want those red-blooded Americans, don't they? She said, in 2021, our blood market was valued at $3.3 billion, and there were no limits set on how much hospitals are allowed to charge patients for transfusions here in the United States.

Yeah, very much like organ transplants. Oh, you're not going to – we've got principles here, right? We're not going to pay anybody for any of the organs that they do. But we will make a lot of money off of the operations and transportation. We'll make tons of money. But no, no, don't pay those donors. Ethics, you know. Ethics. Absolutely.

What a joke. Let's talk about Leonardo DiCaprio. Leonardo DiCaprio fleeing, burning L.A. on his private jet. This is a story from Breitbart. He referred to himself as a climate warrior. By the way, when we talk about climate, we just had a lawsuit in New York has been thrown out. They had a lot of these radical environmentalists in New York, and they've also done the same thing in Hawaii. They're just going to sue all the oil companies

and get billions of dollars from them and put them out of business, they think. Well, fortunately, in New York, that case, and it was against Exxon and Shell and BP and a bunch of the others, that's been thrown out, as it should have been thrown out, as a frivolous lawsuit. But speaking of frivolous, we have Leonardo DiCaprio,

climate warrior slammed after he was spotted arriving in mexico alongside his rumored girlfriend victoria seretti is she a minor or is she i don't i don't know who this is but you know given his past experiences and uh hollywood being what it is uh we don't know if she is an adult or a minor uh arriving aboard a private plane after escaping the los angeles wildfires well i tell you you know i played this yesterday but cnn is going to be so disappointed in leo because they just couldn't believe that people thought that the fires had nothing to do with climate change. And evidently, neither does Leo, because he's more than willing to keep his private jet while you've got to give up your automobile. I don't think Americans are making this connection.

And the way we can see this right here and now, take a look at the monthly change in Google searches. Look at the searches for wildfire up twenty four hundred percent. My goodness gracious. This is the most amount of people searching for wildfires ever, ever. It's going back since Google Trends began back in 2004. But look at climate change. Look at the change. It doesn't go hand in hand with wildfires. It's actually down. it's down nine percent and i also looked in california there has been no increase in the number of searches for climate change so yeah but you know what else is down cnn because nobody believes the stuff they're searching where can i find another news station besides cnn well you can find it right here please hit the like button these people who don't believe

in uh climate change uh but they do believe in wildfires and they believe that government officials who tell everybody they're going to take care of this and steal your money ought to do something about it those people can have a home here at this broadcast as bright bart news reported Breitbart News reported back in 2015, Leonardo DiCaprio has pledged. What a pretentious name. You know that's got to be made up by his agent, too, right? His name is probably, you know, Seymour Smith or something, you know. DiCaprio has pledged to divest from his fossil fuel holdings and increase his investment in renewable energy companies. He said, climate change is severely impacting the health of our planet and all of its inhabitants.

And we must transition to a clean energy economy that doesn't rely on fossil fuels. The main driver of this global problem. But he doesn't have any problem with fossil fuels for his private jet. It's not electric, you know. And where does the electricity come from? That's the other thing. Where does the solar panels come from? They build the solar panels in China using cheap coal energy.

Just like, as I said before,ff bezos powering his virtue signaling electric trucks with diesel generators in 2016 dicaprio told charlie rose in an interview climate change is the biggest problem that mankind has ever had to face unquote what utter nonsense absolute nonsense uh the la police chief says that three suspected arsonists arrested after being caught amid deadly wildfires and i don't know if this has anything to do with the the video that i showed i don't have it here in the deck here i showed this uh the other day and I had a listener. I think it was John. Yes. Who told me, he said, that video that you showed of the three fires starting simultaneously,

he goes, that was actually from 2024. So it was recent, but it's not this. You know, the three fires, they've arrested three arsonists. Actually, they've arrested a lot more than that. But that video that I showed you, and let me correct that, that was not of this particular situation, of those things spontaneously starting, all simultaneously. Spontaneously and simultaneously starting.

No, that was of the bridge fire, the line fire, and the airport fire, he says. On Sunday night, our North Hollywood officers responded to a call of possible arson suspect who was using a barbecue lighter to light fires officers arrived on the scene and the suspect was arrested for guess what an outstanding felony warrant for arson his repeat offender uh a day later police made two more arrests related to the fires, including an arrest on Van Nuys Boulevard after a suspected arsonist lit a fire in a nearby brush. That fire was extinguished by L.A. Fire Department officials, and he arsonist in West Los Angeles, that person had set alight a nearby trash can, which was extinguished by fire officials. And of course, the government under Karen Bass and nuisance is a dumpster fire in and of itself.

When are they going to arrest them? No, we saw other pictures. Remember, we had, besides the guy who said he was using a propane torch to light his cigarette or something. They arrested him, but it turns out that he's not guilty of anything because he's an illegal that doesn't speak English. So they just let him go, right? He did have some other outstanding warrants. Maybe he is a gang member member but hey uh we can't blame anybody that's an illegal alien but there is a lot of copycat stuff that's going on as well i said when i showed that clip i said well they say that he was part of a fire in that area the

kenneth area but they showed that fire and i said i don't know i didn't see anything that was burning around where this guy was they had hog tied him call the police and uh and everything but um uh there was no fire in sight there which i would have thought unless he had already lit it in some other place but um there was another uh clip that i showed where people were calling the police and put video up on social media so look at these guys a bunch of guys over there homeless guys guys or something, or illegal immigrants, don't know, just starting fires. A lot of copycat people out there. Citizens directed the officers to the suspect location where he was then taken into custody

without incident. The three arson arrests, which took place outside the fire area, were in addition to 14 arrests by the LAPD in the Palisades fire area. Those arrests included curfew violations. Again, you try to sneak back into your home, they'll arrest you. Impersonating a police officer and a firefighter, ammunition, burglary, and other offenses. Well, you can't have any ammunition in California either, I guess. But one of these cases, an impersonating firefighter, I don't know about the officer case,

but the sheriff of LA said he saw a guy that was sitting, he was in firefighting clothing and he was sitting down. He goes, you okay? He's exhausted. Then he realized he was in handcuffs. And people find these guys dressed up like firefighters with burglary tools

and other things like that. There have been 39 arrests for looting illegal operation of drones that could interfere with firefighting aircraft curfew violations and other alleged crimes um and you know as we look at this from the climate standpoint um as they're saying oh everything is um is all man-made well they're now finding as um they're saying, oh, everything is all man-made. Well, they're now finding as they're in a melting patch of ice up in the Rockies, they uncovered some trees that grew 7,000 years ago, they said. I guess, you know, the cavemen had cars, right? Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble.

They're responsible for all of this stuff, right? The bottom line is that they were growing way above the tree line because it was a warmer climate back then, perhaps. I don't know. Michael Mann and his climate fraud friends love to cherry-pick starting dates. And we've talked about this in the past. They have all kinds of evidence when they look at ice cores and other things like that that show that the temperature was much, much, much higher. We've had an ice age, but we've also had very warm temperatures,

and it's gone back and forth. But they picked a point when there was a little mini winter, and that was at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. And they said, well, this is going to be our starting point, and we're going to use this to say that climate change is man-made. And they're going to ignore all the rest of their stuff, like this. This will be ignored as well they always cherry pick the start dates and you know we had michael mann with a climate gate

working with his co-conspirators and the university of east anglia in the uk talking about how they could hide the decline how their models were not working. And they used, ironically enough, some tree rings to try to explain how this was going to happen. Well, a white bark pine forest that was preserved within a perennial ice patch in the greater Yellowstone ecosystem provides insights into the consequences of past climate change and ecosystem dynamics. And guess what? past climate change and ecosystem dynamics. And guess what?

It was not man-made. All of this alarmism about climate is Michael man-made and his co-conspirators, people like Al Gore. It is, we need to start calling it that. Michael man- made climate change. Again, as I mentioned before, Amazon using huge diesel generator to charge electric delivery van fleet.

They closed out 2024, Amazon did, with more than 20,000 electric delivery vans manufactured by Rivian. They highlight on their website that the electric vans are part of its, quote, urgent climate change initiative to, quote, remove carbon emissions from transportation systems. Really?

How are you going to remove it? Well, you're going to buy an electric vehicle with batteries that are made probably in China using coal power, and then you're going to charge them using diesel generators. That's what they did. And we caught Elon Musk doing that. Do you remember when Porsche got into doing electric vehicles?

And now they are heavily, heavily, heavily discounting these things. They can't sell them. Nobody wants them. But they took their electric Porsche, and they they took it to the nurburgring ring where you can manufacturers can get the entire track reserved for them for a particular day but a lot of they open it up to the general public and let people take their chances going as fast as they can around this track and they've got everywhere, and you can see some really interesting crashes from people ruining their own car going around the Nürburgring.

No speed limit, just the laws of nature and friction. So that's the only thing that's there. But Elon Musk decided that he was going to show up porsche and so he sent his plaid uh tesla remember that he had the plaid one which was um ludicrously fast i think was one of his the modes that it had in it and he was going to show up porsche on the nürburgring and um he the plugs that he had were not compatible with the kind of plugs that they had there. So he brought his own charging station, and he brought a diesel generator, and the people in the area were just furious about it.

They said, this thing is incredibly noisy, and look at all the smoke coming out of it. You know, visible smoke. He talked about blue exhaust or something. It's coming out of this dirty diesel generator to power uh his tesla plaid and then to make things worse his tesla plaid broke down like it did when clarkson and others got the first tesla sports car and um uh and porsche uh took lots of pictures of their car zooming past the um the tesla plaid that was being towed out uh he sued top gear when uh they they talked about how they drove that first uh tesla sports car and how it essentially bricked on the drive you know

because it just ran out of battery battery in no time amazon is gaslighting the public about all this amazon's website laid out its approach to fighting so-called global warming michael man climate change michael man made climate change to reach this target they said we are also expanding the use of zero emission transportation such as electric delivery vans cargo e-bikes and on-foot deliveries and we engage in industry initiatives to remove carbon emissions from transportation systems like ocean shipping aviation and trucking we're also using innovative construction techniques and building materials to make our fulfillment centers, data centers, offices, and physical retail locations more sustainable.

And to go along with that, Jeff Bezos has said he's not going to fire off rockets anymore. Oh, wait, no, he didn't say that. He's going to continue to fire off the rockets and claim that he's afraid of Michael Mann-made climate change. On Tuesday, a TikTok user posted a video that shows diesel generators powering electric Amazon trucks. Scroll down and show a picture of that. They got a still of that. There you go. There they are.

There's the proof. Doesn't it defeat the purpose, said the person who posted this, when you have a diesel-powered generator electrifying all of the EVs, it makes no sense. Meanwhile, they say Jeff, um, Bezos is selling, sailing around the world in a super yacht that has massive diesel motors. He likes diesel. I like diesel too. It works. He also flies in private jets that gobble up huge amounts of jet fuel.

And, of course, he also launches massive rockets as well. All this while governments are banning gas stoves from you and I. Have you ever considered the only way that green politicians and billionaires tell the public to save the planet from fiery demise is to purchase more solar panels and EVs? That's the article from Zero Hedge. Well, think about that. Solar panels and EVs. We get the solar panels made in China using cheap coal energy. And as far as EVs go, you've got Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk powering their EVs with

diesel generators nobody believes any of this stuff they don't believe it Hollywood guys don't believe it nobody believes it and even if they did believe it why is it that there's only one solution? Well, it's just like the other MacGuffin, the COVID MacGuffin. Even if you believed in the COVID virus, there's only going to be one solution allowed, right? That might have been a tip to a critical thinker. That there was something else going on here. And, of course, it's the same way with the climate MacGuffin. There's only one solution, and that is the control grid, the power grid. But it is a control grid because they don't want anybody to have any vehicles. They know that the battery EVs

are not practical. Maybe someday they will be, but they're not practical, and they're going to mandate it before these things are going to be practical. They don't care if it's practical or not. As a matter of fact, it's better for them if it's not practical, because they don't want anybody having any private transportation. It must all be run by the government or the technocrats like Elon Musk and these other people who are setting up the so-called self-driving cars. I prefer an automobile, that means that I drive it,

to a self-driving car driven by them. There's a plethora of new automobile engines that creators hope will capture the commercial marketplace in the near future. The engines are designed to run on methanol or ammonia or hydrogen or nitrogen and surprise, even lithium. Another company has a motor shaped like a donut that operates inside of the wheels. So again, will any of these things be allowed? I don't think so.

I don't think they'll allow it. It's like, well, if you believe that there's a COVID virus, are you going to be allowed to have ivermectin or HCQ or any other? No, no, you will get a ventilator that will kill you. You'll get remdesivir that will kill you. Or you'll get the jab that will kill you. In India, in the state of Kerala. They have what they call.

They're setting up the Green Hydrogen Valley Project. How green was my valley? That was a great film, by the way. Was it Walter Pigeon? I haven't seen that for years. I should go back and watch that this weekend, How Green Was My Valley. I think it was David Lean, was it, that did that? Great director.

Made a great version of Great Expectations. Make expectations great again. Yeah. Anyway, the Corolla Green Hydrogen Valley. I can't get past that. They're creating a complete hydrogen value chain to showcase how hydrogen can reduce emissions across industries. Well, again, this is like some of these car companies saying, hey, I can make a really, really virtually zero emission engine. And I can even team it up with some batteries, you know, that'll charge it.

No, no, can't have that. It's got to be absolute zero. They say net zero, but it's got to be absolute zero. We're not going to allow that. No. You foolish engineers. Do you not know why we are doing this? Corolla wants hydrogen-fueled rather than battery electric or heavy-duty trucks to replace diesel trucks.

They said the hydrogen trucks can travel long distances without sacrificing carrying capacity. India will need hydrogen refueling infrastructure, which they estimate would cost an estimated $2 million per station. Even more expensive than installing charging stations for battery electric vehicles. Heavy-duty hydrogen fuel cell systems also need improvements. This is happening in India, by the way, which, like China, is exempted from the Paris Climate Accord. And as I've said in the past, their power grid is powered by power stations. They're using coal and other things, and they don't clean it up. You can clean up coal just like you can clean up your car exhaust,

but they don't. They go cheap. And as a result, if you have a car that gets just over 30 miles per gallon in India, it's going to, according to their game You have less carbon emissions than somebody that was powering their electric car off of the India grid because their power stations are so dirty. And then we go to Germany where they're looking at methanol. A manufacturer there is looking at dual fuel methanol engine for the maritime industry. And so Caterpillar Marine is also looking at that. Go to the Dierman Engine Company, which I believe is coming out of the UK, British.

And they're using nitrogen. As a matter of fact, liquid nitrogen. And there's a problem with that because you've got to keep it unbelievably cold. You've got to keep it as cold as a COVID vaccine. Because, you know, if you don't keep the liquid nitrogen cold, you start having this nanotech assemble itself. No, that's not true. Anyway, a zero emission piston engine that runs on liquid nitrogen with the exhaust being cold air. The Dierman Engine Company claims that the energy provision of nitrogen engines is 700 times more powerful than that of hydrogen.

Except you got to keep it incredibly cold. The nitrogen engine has zero tailpipe emissions and low overall greenhouse gas emissions. Sorry, that's not good enough. Not good enough. Got to be zero. Next. It has a fast refueling time comparable to gasoline or diesel engines. Wait a minute.

I got an idea. Why don't we just use gasoline or diesel engines? Got all the bugs pretty much worked out of them. No, this is going to be planned obsolescence, or we should say banned obsolescence. They're going to ban what you got. So you've got to go out and buy something that's completely new, very expensive, unproven, still got bugs in it. Then we move to lithium. German researchers have a prototype. This is, as we go along, these things get more and more complicated. We're going from liquid nitrogen has to be kept at super, super cold levels.

And now with the German researchers using lithium, they're going to have a, they've got a prototype quantum engine, quantum mechanics here. And I mean, really quantum mechanics in the sense that they're going to mechanically move stuff even. Prototype quantum engine. Quantum mechanics here. And I mean, really, quantum mechanics in the sense that they're going to mechanically move stuff, even. It's actually true. Powered by lithium. It operates by manipulating the quantum states of lithium atoms to generate energy. Results of the university's research highlights the engine's potential to redefine energy production, opening doors to innovation like ultra-efficient quantum batteries that could last longer and charge faster. For the engine to function effectively, lithium atoms must be maintained at temperatures near absolute zero again to minimize thermal interference and to ensure precise control over the quantum states.

Magnetic fields shift atoms between two quantum states of lithium atoms, Fermion and Boson states, and this is a critical step in the energy conversion process. Then we get the donut motor. And this is not a new way of propelling it, but it's a new type of electric motor. It's donut-shaped to go around the wheel, they said, so that you can eliminate any kinds of transmission from having to start an electric motor. And you've got the gears that are going to turn this. This would go right around the wheel.

And they say that it would fit into the wheel they say that it is 50 cheaper to manufacture and allows you to forego some of maybe drive chains although there's not a great deal of drive chain with the electric cars anyway the in-wheel motors make the wheels heavier, however, than conventional wheels. And this means that they add unsprung mass. That is weight below the suspension that can negatively impact handling and braking. Big time. As a matter of fact, when I was looking at ways to modify my Miata, that was kind of a hobby that we had several years ago in Texas. One of the last things that I was looking at was reducing the unsprung weight.

And the way that you do that is you buy more expensive wheels that are super light. And so if you've got a race car engine or a race car or something like that, and you want to maximize your handling, which I'm all about maximizing handling, you want to get rid of the unsprung weight. And that means that you get lighter wheels. I never did that. I won't be getting one of the donut lap motors. The last thing you want to do is going to absolutely ruin the handling. But who cares about handling? You're not going to be allowed to drive the car anyway, right? So yeah, I guess we'll go the donut motors because nobody gets to handle the wheel. That'll be handled by somebody else.

Spromford, thank you for the tip. He says, God bless you and your family. Well, thank you. As always, thanks for the work that you do. Thank you very much. I couldn't do it without your help. Thank you very much. Swamp lover. The politicians, quote unquote, are paid to push the climate change agenda. Me thanks. And or they are MKUltra victims convinced that it's the thing. You have to be pretty stupid if you're still going along with this stuff and believe it.

And there's a lot of people who believe it because it's been hammered into them since they were children. That's one of the key things that's been propaganda of the government institutions. Karen Carpenter says, the raw milk quarantine in my area is lifted and the raw farm bought a third herd of cows to become more resilient.

Good. They're fighting back. Raw milk sales have really gone up in the last year. 30 to 50% increase. Good. Good. Yeah, we need to take back our... They have scared people to death about things that have been done for millennia.

And we need to just say to them, so what? And prove it. Thomas Sowell always would say to these people, AJ, a weatherman said that the cold on the East Coast will bring temperatures that break the 300-year record. Is there a 300-year verifiable record? Absolutely not. Nobody was keeping records here in tennessee 300 years ago or most of the country and what were the records that they had in a few places when they

started keeping records you know maybe in the 1800s just a few records that were being kept and as the founder of the weather channel pointed, they didn't have digital thermometers that could read to 1.5 degrees accuracy. They had the old mercury thermometers that have the parallax issues. I mean, you can't get that down to plus or minus a couple of degrees. And just take a look at what is happening now. When you look at the temperature with different apps as karen and i do you know she's got some temperature apps on her phone and as we're looking at this it's like you know how bad is this weather going to get we've been paying attention to what they're saying but of course they never know and even when you look at what

the current temperature is they can't agree in the same area. Why? Because they're pulling it from different places. One app is going to pull the temperature from one place. Another one will pull it from another. And in many cases, what they're doing is they're extrapolating between weather stations. That's another reason why you get the big difference. But as I've said many times, when we lived back in Raleigh, we lived outside of the urban areas in an area that was heavily forested. And the temperature there year-round was always about four degrees cooler than it was in Raleigh. Where are you going to put the thermometer?

And how accurate were they? And do we have any records? No, none of that. Handy. Good to see you, Handy. My girlfriend worked for Amazon for a bit. The EV yard trucks kept getting stuck in a pothole in the warehouse truck lot. So much for infrastructure, right?

Well, we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back. Thank you. you're listening to the david knight show well we have so many stories that are either directly or tangentially connected to the LA fires that are happening. And Franklin Graham went on social media to debate people over the wildfires and God's judgment on Hollywood. He said, we've got a situation now where people have lost everything. And he said, we want to reassure them of God's love. And I would say that's absolutely true. You don't want to go in

and start screaming at people, you're being judged and all this other kind of stuff. A lot of people are being harmed that didn't have anything to do with what Hollywood does even. But God does do judgment. We've seen that. We've seen that in Sodom and Gomorrah, but we've also seen in the story of Job, as I mentioned last week. We see that there was something happening behind the scenes that he didn't understand and that his friends didn't understand. His friends kept saying, yeah, it must be something you did. Think about that. You know, I'm sure that it was something you did.

No, I didn't. No, you know, and we're told that it wasn't. And so we don't know what God's purposes are in this. Sometimes, you know, in the case of Job, it doesn't have anything to do with you. Sometimes, like in the case of Sodom and Gomorrah, it is all about what you did. It can also be about God disciplining his own children and training them, you know, preparing them with some hardship for something that is coming. It could also be discipline in the sense that you did something you shouldn't have done, and now you need to start paying attention. It's like a spanking or whatever. So he says,

could God be judging Hollywood? He said, I don't know, but I don't think so. Well, we really don't. Leave it at that. We don't know. The question is, do we know the Lord Jesus Christ? Are we prepared to stand before him? If our house was burned, and if we were burned up in it, would we go into his presence? Well, yes. The question is, then where do you go? Jesus said, I'm the way. And the people, the early Christians, called themselves followers of the way. Because no one comes to the Father except through me. He said, I am the way, the truth,

and the life. And that really should be our message to people. And it, you know, we get into these types of things. The question is for each and every one of us who have things in our past, nobody is able to stand before God in our own self-righteousness. And so we just need to do what we can to help other people who are going through this kind of stuff and understand that there but for the grace of God and his kindness, go I. These types of things can happen to each and every one of us. And the other part of this is, certainly, as Franklin Graham is saying, the question is, if you died in this fire, then what? If you don't know the Lord Jesus Christ. But it is also something that is an opportunity for us to help people and to show the love of God rather than judgment and to show the way to God and to explain to everybody.

Look at all the things in this world are just temporary. As Mel Gibson was talking to Joe Rogan, he said, I don't know. And he goes back and it was gone. But his comment about losing his beautiful mansion, he says, it's all just stuff. It's all just stuff. It's all just stuff. And that needs to be our attitude as well, that we hold things lightly. Despite what the leftist critics say, homeschooling is the best option for children. This is coming from Dissenter.

The person says, I don't know who this person is, but his anti-homeschooling tweets keep making their way into my feed. And it's some guy who says, I get flagged every time I say this, so I figured I should clarify it. Universally, 100% of the time, homeschooling is the worst option for every single child without exception. And I'm not being hyperbolic yeah you gotta understand this guy says well that's a pretty bold claim 100 of the time without exception not a single exception in the entirety of human experience what are you god that you know everybody's experience here he says the declaration is so desperately hyperbolic that it

circles back and contradicts itself. To say 100% of the time is to claim omniscient insight into every family, every child, every educational setting, across time, culture, and circumstance. Who among us possesses this kind of godlike knowledge? Only a fool would say me. He says, The arrogance of this statement is both incredible and laughingly self-defeating. A 2021 Harvard study on homeschooling actually confirms that homeschoolers are not the socially maladjusted hermits that critics love to portray them. That was my one of the things that I thought was kind of a sweet irony about the lockdown of the schools everybody that was cheering that it always said well what about socialization and of course my

response to that is like well i think children need to be socialized by their parents not by 20 or 30 peers and one adult who has really, I don't know what their influence is, even if they have it, is it a positive influence or not? What you're talking about is discussed in the Lord of the Flies. That was a kind of socialization, wasn't it? We have a group of young people stranded on an island and whether or not that is true or not, and there have been situations like that that didn't work out that way. But still, that always has the potential of doing that. Do you really want your kids socialized and trained by their peers rather than by you, their parents?

Homeschoolers are not socially maladjusted hermits. They are, statistically speaking, happy, well-rounded, and civically engaged. More often than not, they outperform their government school counterparts academically and in mental health and in social well-being. One of the things that I noticed was something compared to the way that I was as a child and compared to children who are going through a government school system or even a private school system where you've got one adult and you've got all the kids and they got to be quiet. They got to walk in a line and all that rest of stuff. Homeschooling kids were far more on an average, far more likely to engage people and you are kind of afraid of people a year older

than you and contemptuous of people a year younger than you i mean i observed that all the way through school um by the logic of this guy's assertion that we're to dismiss the homeschooler who invents groundbreaking technologies or whatever you know like the wright brothers and nearly all people in america prior to the mid 20th early 20th century according to this study homeschoolers and this is from harvard harvard how could it be wrong right i'm not impressed by harvard sometimes they get it right it's just a good way when people are talking about the effects of lead or fluoride or something show show them a Harvard study. That shuts them up because they're all about authority and they think that Harvard is the

authority. According to this Harvard study, homeschoolers are more likely to volunteer, more likely to engage with their communities, and just as likely to excel in higher education. If public schools are such utopian learning centers, then why do so many parents feel compelled to remove their children from them in the first place? Are we to ignore the violence, the peer pressure, the ideological and sexual indoctrination, the overcrowded classrooms? For the Christian, however, let's turn to the heart of the matter, and that is the child's heart.

God commands parents to raise their children in the nurture and the admonition of the Lord. You've heard that before. What do those words mean? Well, we know what it means to nurture something, right? It means that you're going to assist the development. You're going to be sheltering, feeding, that type of thing. When we talk about admonition,

it's not just warning, but it is a gentle and kind warning, which is what parents who love their children can do the best. And parents are much more likely to love their children than strangers. The responsibility cannot be delegated to some taxpayer-funded LGBT activists who have infiltrated classrooms of elementary schools, many of whom come to work dressed like sex clowns. Homeschooling gives parents the freedom to instill a Christ-centered worldview, ensure

that their children are not conformed to the destructive patterns of the world, but transformed by the renewing of their mind. To argue that this is the worst option is not just an insult to homeschooling parents, it is an affront to God's design. God's design for parental responsibility and for parental authority. And so what do we do as parents

if we want to raise children and nurture them? This I thought was an interesting thing, an article from Faithwire. They said, these Bibles are flying off the shelves and inspiring millions of people. And they show a picture of a book that's got some pages flying. But that's not what they're talking about.

And they're not talking about the Trump Bible either. I imagine a special inaugural edition that you can get. No, the popular retelling, they said, of the Bible in comic book form is a big hit. They call it the Action Bible. First released in 2010, continues to dominate Amazon book selling charts, remaining in the top 100 among all books. They said for this generation specifically, those who are involved in graphic novels, this Bible appeals to them because they like that kind of, oh, I can see the images of the story moving. And there's a narrative, like a paraphrased narrative of a

Bible story that's easy to understand and sounds like a conversation. If only God had been this wise. Why didn't God think of doing a comic book instead of the way that he did it? Why didn't he wait and have Jesus come when we had movies instead of, you know, people like Dallas Jenkins having to make up all this stuff in The Chosen, right? I mean, you think about it. Whenever you've got a movie of something, right, and I've said this before. You look at the Ten Commandments, for example. Everybody's image now of Moses is Charlton Heston and the things that you saw in that movie, whether they're right or wrong.

But there is so much that has to be made up about all of this stuff. Where was everybody standing? What was the attitude of Jesus or some other person when they said this or that? And how were the other people reacting to it? Well, these people show you, and they make it up. And so they're inventing stuff left and right, whether you're talking about movies or whether you're talking about comic books, or if you want to call it a graphic novel. And it's all about entertainment.

And that's what is happening in the churches now. Churches are all about entertainment. You know, let's get a worship team and smoke machines and all the rest of this stuff. And it is kind of, let's be just like the rappers. And then you find the worship leaders who are involved in, and we just had another one, a big group. And a guy then became a big contemporary Christian music group. And the guy was very well known in that venue and also as a worship leader at a large church. And we find out that he's got all kinds of sexual charges have now been brought against him.

Who would think that somebody that's a rapper, we were just looking at this. We knew the family through our business of Rachel Evan Wood, and there was just an article there about how when she was 18, she shacked up with Marilyn Manson, this guy. And it's like, what in the, what were her parents thinking? I mean, you know, when we knew them through the business, the video business, very rational person, but it was also about the entertainment industry. I don't know what happened in that family.

I have no idea. But can you imagine your daughter comes to you and tells you, yeah, I'm living with Marilyn Manson. It's like, what? But, uh you know this all came up because she accused him of all kinds of uh horrible things who would have thought that marilyn manson would do all kinds of horrible things who revels in this satanic music and who would think that rap uh people like. Diddy would do the kind of things that he's being alleged? What? Did you ever listen to his music? Even for just a little bit?

I haven't listened to it. I know what it's about. And then who would think that if you've got people who try to imitate all that and call it Christian, that you would wind up with worship leaders who are doing this. And I say that because when you look at the graphic novels, that might be shifting these kids into, you know, a lot of these graphic novels are sexually graphic. Pornographic novels coming out of Japan. Is this really what you want? And is it really sufficient? Or are you selling somebody a phony version of what God has created?

You know, it just seems to me that, you know, we don't want to do it the way that God decided that he wanted to do it. So we've got a different way. As a matter of fact, this is a trailer for what the Action Bible looks like so you can actually see it. This is their own trailer. I don't see much of anything there except for pictures. Oh, and it's got a game. You can take Moses down the river in the baby basket, avoiding obstacles. Yeah.

From activities to video to games. There you go. And we call that Christian. Now, you get the idea, right? How does that help you to know god or know anything at all about the story of moses to have a a baby basket that's going real fast down the river and you got to avoid obstacles that are there that's okay it's just for the kids and it's a gateway to get that is it is it a gateway for them to get into real serious bible study in the last

four years alone we've sold 1.1 million action Bibles around the world. And that is in addition to the 3 million sold in America. I remember when the boys were young and they were pushing, what was it, Bible Man. It was like a superhero thing. It's like, are you kidding me? Why would you show them that? What's next, Santa Claus?

A six-year-old from Nairobi, Kenya, It's like, are you kidding me? Why would you show them that? What's next, Santa Claus? A six-year-old from Nairobi, Kenya, wrote in to say, the Action Bible has nice pictures and some stories. Yeah, that's great. Well, you know, faith comes by hearing the word of God. It doesn't come by nice action figures. And they said they hope the Action Bible serves as an introduction to kids that will then go deeper with other more complete forms of Scripture. Look, we sell a lot of nonsense to kids.

I hope you don't do that if you're teaching your kids. We sell them a lot of nonsense. In Sunday schools, they present the Bible as some kind of a fairy story. And they show Noah's Ark as a little tiny boat with all the giraffe heads and elephant heads sticking out of the little house on the top of it. And that's not it at all. And it only feeds the idea that the Bible is not based in history and it's not real. It's actually counterproductive, I think. But, you know, we can always find a better way to do it than the way that God did it. And that's now where Russell Brand is.

Listen to what he had to say. Now that we are tethered potentially to continual self, we are going to have to, I believe, learn new ways of understanding Scripture and new ways of receiving him because as the word was written in the language of its time anticipating all time for surely he exists beyond time and beyond space and outside of the senses the ultimate reality is beyond the conditions of our reality as we appreciate and receive it we as inhabitants of this realm are going to have to learn how to operate within technology. Otherwise, that technology, I reckon it could become pretty Luciferian. It could become a kind of false light. Somebody needs to get a hold of that guy and give him a Bible.

A lot of psychobabble coming from him that absolutely means nothing. We'll be right back. © BF-WATCH TV 2021 You're listening to The David Knight Show. Well, I've got a couple of comments here. Marky Mark says, hydrogen is problematic. Why? Well, one, it takes more energy to make it. It's energy yield. Two, because it's the smallest molecule.

It leaks more than any other gas. And three, there is no infrastructure for it. Well, I agree. Look, all of this stuff is like planned obsolescence. And they want to jump into all of these things without having the problems ironed out. Problems have been ironed out for gasoline and diesel, and they're not a problem. They're not a problem for any of this stuff. They work better than any of these other solutions. And if somebody's got a better way to do it, then fine. And if they got a better mousetrap, everybody's going to beat a path

to their door. But these things are all being pushed on us top down by governments who don't know what they're doing and they've got an agenda that isn't not in our best interest and that's that's the real issue there um a goan fan a childhood friend has international coverage for saving his home and five others in malibu good he's part of the community response team. Yes, they do stay behind to ward off looters. Good for him. Good for him.

And North American House Hippo replied to somebody and said, When I was a fireman, the first house fire I went to was a 15-year-old set his house on fire while he was worshiping Marilyn Manson. I've not ever seen a Marilyn Manson video, but I know that he's all about satanic stuff and openly so, and all kinds of perverted sexuality and everything. It's just amazing to me. Anyway, I said I was going to talk about the emergency declaration, and I want to get to that before we get any further along here. Biden quietly extends the COVID emergency declaration to protect big pharma from liability until 2029. 2029, all the way through the next four years. This was back in December of 18th that this was done, and I did not see this, and I only just came across this article. The article is from Town Hall, and I posted that up on social media yesterday

because I thought it was astounding. How can you legitimately say that you know there's going to be an emergency for the next four years when there hasn't been an emergency at all for the last five years? And nobody who's even pretending that there was an emergency. They're all taking credit for having stopped it. What is going on with this Biden cartel? 100% corruption. 100% corruption. The Biden administration quietly rushed to extend the emergency declaration, quote unquote, under the public readiness and emergency preparedness. That is the PrEP Act that was inflicted on us during the George W. Bush regime.

They've extended it to December the 31st, 2029 to protect big pharma and mrna vaccine makers from lawsuits for injuries and deaths this act also provides immunity from liability to health care providers nurses pharmacists pharmacy interns pharmacy technicians who administered the covet 19 vaccines ah because it's a criminal conspiracy. You're going to protect all these people who created the poison? All these people who created the ventilators, both Republican and Democrat? This is not going to be taken off by Trump. Not at all.

He's proud of what he did, number one. Number two, it helps to protect him and all the other people that he paid to do this kind of stuff. So both he and Biden want to make sure that the people that they paid to harm the American people, the people who were in the hospitals, the doctors, the nurses, the pharmacists, the pharmacy interns, all of them that administered these vaccines that we all know are, this is an admission that they know precisely what they did. Because what they're doing is they're extending their liability protection for the harm that they've done to other people.

Folks, this is the biggest smoking gun of admission that we've had yet from them, that they would extend their immunity from prosecution for another four years because they know what they did. This is comparable to what Biden did for Hunter. This is comparable to what they're talking about Biden doing for Cheney and all the rest of them. Javier Becerra, the secretary of HHS, signed the 12th amendment to the Declaration on the Prep Act for COVID-19 medical countermeasures, claiming that the move was necessary because of a still substantial credible risk. Can you believe that? The pandemic, the incredible risk that the pandemic could spiral out of control in the next four years while Trump is in office.

Well, you don't have to worry about Trump. He'd be more than happy to do another executive order. Now, this is about them protecting people for the crimes that they have done. This is not about making sure that Trump is going to do another one of these criminal executive orders like he did the first time around. According to the Federal Register notice, Becerra said, I am now amending this coverage through December the 31st, 2029. COVID continues to present a credible risk of a future public health emergency. Absolute lie.

It continues to cause significant serious illness, morbidity, and mortality during outbreaks. No, it's what the people administered. It's the Trump shot. And it's the Biden coercion that they're trying to give people immunity. You don't have to give people immunity because there's a virus going around. No, this is to extend that, and it's to extend the money that they make as well. The risk of domestic cases is high due to ongoing outbreaks that continue domestically and internationally in the year since the PHE, the Public Health Emergency for COVID-19, ended. The PrEP Act, enacted in 2020,

was initially intended to encourage vaccine manufacturers to speed up their research on COVID-19 vaccines without fear of being legally held responsible for killing people. They say side effects. That's one of the side effects, killing people. There's a lot of other side effects that fall short of murder, but murder is one of them. The Biden administration defended the sudden move, saying that the extension would be precaution for future public health emergencies. By the way, nowhere in this article from Town Hall, conservative, nowhere is there anything said about Trump and how this all started and who started it all. Nothing anywhere. left and right media that constantly makes every one of these issues partisan in order

to cover up for their guy. And it's why we don't get anything solved. So let's go back to when this all began. As I mentioned earlier in the program, you can go back and you can get the data very easily. I think it's even Wikipedia even has it reproduced. And this is coming from the who and um so if you look at what the cumulative quote-unquote cases were in january of 2020 cases when we didn't have uh the pcr tests

and they didn't work as they were saying well you had um um in um worldwide outside of China and all these different countries, and they break it down. Japan, Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan, Australia, Malaysia, the US, France, Vietnam, Germany, on and on, Italy, the UK, all of them are broken down and they total them all up.

You go worldwide and you had 106 cases worldwide outside of China. China said that they had 9,720 cases in January. Do you believe anything that comes out of China? They pour cold water on everything that comes out of China, except when it's a COVID vaccine. They say, well, that's real. That's real.

Got to believe that 100%. Now, these fake people falling down in the streets, I'll never forget those videos. It's like, you know, you could at least find, they've got people like Jackie Chan in China. You can get somebody to take a pratfall and make it look real, you know? I mean, you can do better than that.

Come on, get your game up a little bit, you know, if you're going to propagandize the world. It's just a little bit too obvious what you're doing here. So they claimed they had 9,700 cases, even if that were true, no deaths. And even if that were true, that's out of a country of 1.4 billion, billion with a B. And so that means that they had 0.00069% chance. In other words, about 7,000th of a percent of the people who got involved. And that's in China. And then the rest of the world, the rest of the world, the, what is it? We got, is it 8 billion that we got now?

Just about 8 billion people. So, you know, six and a half billion other people. They only had 100 cases, 106 cases. And then in the United States, with a population of 330 million people, we had six cases. Nobody died. But a week after, 10 days actually, 10 days after Trump went to Davos, his HHS guy did the first one of these public health emergencies declarations, Alex Azar. And because we had six people out of 330 million. In other words, you had one person out of every 55 million people. Supposedly got a cold.

And so this is what kicked this all off. Now, when you look at the public health emergencies and their extension right uh this is from um this is a publication from um a some lawyers lewis and ellis they are actuaries and consultants and legal firm and they were talking about the public health emergency being extended and this was back in 2022 they said public health emergencies are a tool yeah they are of hhs health and human services it's a tool that hhs has to protect americans in case of disaster hhs has the power to declare an emergency covet 19 was first declared a public health emergency by former Secretary, this is 2022, former Secretary Alex Azar on January 31st, 2020. The guy that came straight out of Eli Lilly as their CEO and goes in because Big Pharma

bought Donald Trump hook, line, and sinker. And so, you know, he does that one in January the 31st. Then they extended it in April of 2020. Then they extended it again in July. Then they extended it again in October. Then they extended it again January the 7th, 2020. Trump is still president, and they have extended it four times in addition to putting it in there. And then Biden picks up the baton in this tag team match, and he starts doing it.

They extended it then on April 15th of 2021, July 2021, October 2021, January 2022, April 2022. And then again in July of 2022. And this was put out when they had just extended it in October of 2022. So the Biden administration in the next couple of years extended it one, two, three, four, five, six, seven more times. So Trump puts it in once and then extends it four more times. The first couple of years, Biden extends it another seven times. And so then they said, so what does this mean for insurance? Ah, now we're getting to the real issue, the money, the money. They said the operation of state Medicaid programs is seriously impacted by an officially declared public health emergency.

The Medicaid continuous coverage protections continue as long as the PHE is in place. Now, when you look down the next section there, can you scroll in on that and make that any bigger where it says Medicare payment and coverage waivers? Because you see right there, it says right there, the very first bullet item, a 20% increase in the Medicare payment rate for treatments of patients diagnosed with COVID. I have been talking about this since August of 2020. I've never heard anybody else talk about that. That's the payoff right there from Trump. That's why there was a public health emergency declared. And that's why, you know, the money that was given to other people was dependent on Trump's public health, his emergency executive order of March the 13th. Just like you have when there is a disaster of a hurricane or something like that, they declare it to be a disaster so that they can release money to help people. Of course, that hasn't worked for Western North Carolina yet, has it?

Nobody is doing anything. And Trump hasn't promised to do anything about that either. Not on day one or day two or day three or four or five. He has been completely silent about that. But all this stuff about emergency, we understand the political aspects of it and how to get people afraid and to use that fear to control people. But it was the money. And it was already in there, this 20% thing. 20% increase in Medicare payment rate for treatment of patients diagnosed with COVID-19. I saw it because the American Hospital Society, as I've said so many times, complained because the Trump administration wasn't going to hand it over to them. You pay us that 20%. You said you're going to pay us to kill people. And of course, big subsidies for diagnosing somebody, $13,000, put them on a

ventilator, $39,000. They start charging them every day until they die shortly. But during that time, you can charge them every day for the use of the ventilator and you get a 20% increase for everything that you do, even though you're already charging them confiscatory rates and it's all based on emergency everybody to get from city emergency everybody to get from city yeah there you go and collect your money don't forget to collect your 20% as you pass go. We'll be right back. Unlike most revolutions 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 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. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Liberty. liberty it's your move you're listening to the david knight show all right welcome back and karen was got has a quote here a comment from someone she said a lot of people love the action bible i've never seen it before i'm just looking She said, a lot of people love the Action Bible. I've never seen it before. I'm just looking at it. I know a lot of people love the Chosen. And maybe, you know, God can use anything, quite frankly. He can actually use his word to bring us to faith. Amazing as that is,

isn't it? I just look at stuff like this and it's like, accept no substitutes. When I look at somebody repackaging the bible for whatever purpose i mean you know you can uh you can uh make it real and interesting and exciting uh to your kids by digging deeper in it instead of going more shallow is all i was saying uh and making it about entertainment um you know uh you know showing the um moses avoiding the obstacles in his little baby basket. That was kind of the, okay, we're done moment with me. But Shea Bishop said, when my son was seven, I got him the Action Bible. He really liked it.

He told me that when he was older, he really liked it, read it all, and took it to school and showed his friends. I didn't know that he did that. He says, well, that's fine. You know, like I said, God can use anything, but especially he can use his own word, especially if we interact with the kids. I'm not judging anybody who is saying this stuff,

and, you know, if it works fine for you, that's fine. You know, whatever. I'm just giving my opinion in terms of, you know, not shying away from the real stuff the real it's like anything else you know um the most interesting movies are the ones that are based on true life instead of something that's got a concocted uh plot all right and i just look at it and i think that the bible that history that archaeology that, that biology, that science, all that. There's so many different ways that you can approach it and actually incorporate it into

their education, but in a very powerful way. And I'm just saying that, you know, maybe you ought to take a look at those. Not that God can't work with the other stuff. You know, God can, and we've had a lot of testimony from people who have grown up in Islamic society, where, you know, you've got a Bible in this country, they'll kill you, you know, for it. So they don't have any Bibles. How did they become Christians? Well, God can work even out that.

You know, we have all these testimonies of people who said, I had this vision or I had this dream or whatever of Jesus, and that got them started. And then they found the real thing. So if God can do that, he can even use the Action Bible. That's what I'm saying. Whatever. Not dumping on anybody or what they did. Dustin Helm, my kids are homeschooled mainly because the majority of their peers are heathens,

raised by heathens. Well, again, it is, you know, God has set up the family. And a lot of people have been sold the idea that so-called professionals, you know, teachers who have got a degree in teaching, can do a better job of raising your kids than you can. Like I said, accept no substitutes. Go for the real thing. Go for the family. Go for the family Bible, even.

You know, this is, I'm just saying, you can agree with me or disagree, that's fine. Let's talk a little bit about money. You know, Tony is not going to be able to be with us today. I don't know, maybe he's trying to get this thing set up where you can go back and forth between Bitcoin and gold, but he'll be with us next week, I'm pretty sure. Bitcoin, this is an article from Cointelegraph saying Bitcoin power of three, quote unquote, power of

three set up is targeting $103,000 by President-elect Trump's inauguration day. Well, better hurry up. I mean, this is a new article. This came out yesterday. So people are thinking that it's going to jump from where it is right now, about $95,000, $96,000, it's going to jump to $103,000. Now, it could happen. We've seen that kind of volatility with bitcoin in the past these people are basing it

on looking at charts and you know there's a lot of people make investments doing that and some people make money doing that again i don't uh you know uh to each his own about how they do that so bitcoin is um up it's had a rise that is up 11 and a half percent from its january the 13th lows at 88.9 forming a bullish engulfing pattern on the daily chart and again like i said a lot of people who are chartists um and um i looked at that it's like i don't know you know it might be one way of trying to measure psychological effects in the marketplace because that's really what drives the marketplace is a psychological effect. We talk about, well, it's meeting resistance at such and such a place,

but it's really the mass psychology. Maybe you can glean information successfully out of that with the charts. I don't know. They implied that Bitcoin could reclaim a higher position than $103,000 before Trump takes office on January the 20th. And again, their power of three, they're looking at three different metrics to look at this in terms of their prediction. Gold price has hit resistance. See what I mean?

It's hitting resistance near twenty seven hundred dollars as the U.S. core consumer price index rises only zero point two percent. And excuse me, in December, you know, when you look at the inflation numbers from the U.S. government or the employment numbers from the Labor Department, the U.S. government, it's kind of looking at like looking at covid cases from China. I don't believe I don't believe the Chinese, and I don't believe the U.S. government. Do you think that consumer prices only went up 0.2%? Maybe you're not buying any eggs,

and they probably don't have eggs in that basket of commodities, do they? But is inflation going to go up? Well, the U.S. dollar, they said um one person davi costa says uh looking at a dollar crisis and a big shock that is coming in the first half of 2025 now this i believe i'm not so sure about the uh the market, the charts and all the rest of the stuff, trying to scope out where the market is going. But this other thing, I do believe. U.S. tariffs.

China and all the rest of the stuff. The rise of short-term options, they said, coming in the 2025 metals markets. This could all unravel very fast, says another analyst. Sovereign debt issue is the black swan for 2025. Well, absolutely. I think that is absolutely the case. And it is about the debt. It's about inflation.

It's about all these things that everybody's pretending aren't a problem. And so many people believe it's not a problem because now we've got Donald Trump there. And I think all those things are going to be an issue. And I still like things that are not volatile, but that are holding their value. That's why we've got DavidKnight.Gold. That'll take you to Tony Arterman. And there, Tony has got ways for you to gradually accumulate. Or you can buy a lot of gold or silver for your IRA. They do metal IRAs there. Or if you just want to buy it and hold it yourself,

he can deal with small or large transactions. And I don't know anybody else that does what Tony does with the Wolfpack, allowing you to accumulate small or large amounts on a regular basis. And I think that's the wise path. Gradual accumulation, you're averaging out the prices over a period of time. It's the volatility that makes these other people rich. Maybe the people who are looking at the charts, and maybe that is helping them to do that. But it's also the thing that will make other people poor at the expense of the people who are manipulating markets. They don't make money

when things go sideways. They make money when they go up or down rapidly. And so that's the thing to be careful about. So again, David Knight.Gold, I'll take you to Tony Ardman. Tony is not joining us today, but he will be back next week. And in his place, we have Yukon Cornelius. That's right, boys and girls. There's a post-election sale on silver and gold. Trump euphoria has caused a dip in silver and gold. It's time to buy some metals with fiat dollars before they come to their sense. Go to DavidKnight.gold to get in touch with the wise wolf himself, Tony Arterburn. He knows where to look to find silver and gold. Yark!

Fiat! Good evening. Tonight's tale is a story of paranoia and a most unexpected perpetrator, the common cow. Or, more specifically, what comes out the other end. Yes, the air is thick with intrigue, as it seems that in our modern age of propaganda, even a humble bovine's backside can be branded a national security threat. The menace is invisible, silent, yet deadly. Carefully contrived to panic

the masses into accepting the government stepping in, jackboots and all, with their solutions. Because who better to stop a gaseous threat than a bunch of political windbags? But one must wonder, is this truly about saving the planet, or are we simply being led to pasture? Is it merely a MacGuffin? The David Knight Show serves as a breath of fresh air for those who still believe that truth can stand up to scrutiny and he's found that the government narrative smells suspiciously like a load of bull so if you want to help others catch wind of the bs being shoveled out of washington please consider supporting the show and now back to our regularly scheduled program yeah and we're back i like that that whistler did that one as well that's a new one that we just got um let's talk about day one day one day one is the much

talked about day one from donald trump it's going to happen on monday and of course he's not going to be taking office or being sworn in until noon on monday so it'll actually be day two for us where we will see what is going to be happening on day one uh but um i'll be back on day uh day one but uh all this action is going to take place on day two a lot of people are looking at it and making a list of all the things that trump has said he's going to do on day one it's quite a few of them axio said it really kind of breaks down into three themes number one immigration and um as i point out no issue has defined trump's political identity more than his crusade against illegal immigration except what did he do the first term nothing he didn't close the border until covid and he only closed it for covid uh the wall and the wall parts that were there they didn't do anything with that i mean we had most of most

of what was done was repair of existing wall in terms of new wall. It was a minuscule amount. And, you know, so he's got like a 2,000-mile border that's got a 1,500-mile door in it. So he is – they're going to be talking about deportation. We'll see if that's going to happen. So that's going to be starting on day one. But they said number two is going to be issues that are red meat for MAGA. Things like a ban on diversity and equity and inclusivity, the DEI stuff. Pardons for supporters convicted for breaking into the Capitol on January the 6th, they say.

That's the way Axios puts it. That's not why they're there at all, as a matter of fact. But it will be interesting to see what he will do in terms of pardon. People are not mentioning a reason, mention, hey, remember when you said twice that you're going to pardon Ross Ulbricht? Will that happen? Either. Trump spent millions of dollars on anti-trans ads and also wants to use executive action to ban trans women from women's sports and also from the military. So we'll see what happens with that.

Number three. So three things. Immigration, the red meat for MAGA, and big business. Now, this is one he will deliver on. No doubt about it. it was the expedite permits for drilling and fracking uh and um he will start the clock on day one of his one-year goal of reducing energy prices by 50 he plans to aggressively target biden's climate policies by cutting off support for electric vehicles.

This we know he will do because it will help Elon Musk, because Elon Musk has already gotten all of the rebates from the government. He just wants to make sure his competitors don't get them now. And rolling back emission standards, he says. Wall Street is working feverishly to persuade trump not to impose sweeping tariffs on u.s trading partners but he seems intent on ushering in a new era of maga protectionism as quickly as possible writes axios now as they talk about his push against all the green grifting nobody has said anything about trump hasn't said anything about it and

nobody else is saying anything about the paris climate accord none of this stuff is going to go away if paris remains and none of it's going to go away if the epa remains and none of it's going to go away if the department of energy remains nixon created the epa carter the department of energy and folks this country was just you want to go back and talk about, oh, yeah, 19th century was great. We had tariffs and no income tax. Fine. Well, you know what else we didn't have? We didn't have the EPA or the Department of Energy until the 70s. And so we could live without that.

But they're not talking about getting rid of it. And they're not talking about getting rid of it. And they're not talking about getting rid of the Paris Climate Accord. They got afflicted on us in 2015 either. It's a treaty, but it was never ratified. Between the lines, many of Trump's sweeping promises will require the support of Congress. Others have proven to be hyperbole. Trump himself has acknowledged the hyperbole. He says,

it's hard to bring prices down once they're up, you know. It's very hard, he said. He's also tamped down his talk of settling the Russia-Ukraine war within 24 hours of taking office, as I pointed out before. It was going to happen even before he took office. And definitely within the first 24 hours, now he's saying, well, maybe six months, maybe. And it's not even up to me. It's up to Putin. Well, Trump and Musk are both paring back promises as we get closer to day one. Elon Musk and others were talking about how they're going to save $2 trillion, and I went through the budget and I said, it's just not there. There's not $2 trillion worth of what they call discretionary spending. The rest of the stuff is spending entitlement programs where Congress comes in and says, if you meet these qualifications, you get the money. You're entitled to it.

You know, the welfare programs, they create it as an entitlement. So unless you're going to change, structurally change these welfare programs, there isn't enough money to even get $1 trillion out. But Elon Musk is now saying, well, $2 trillion would have been nice, but it'll be a big win if we just get $1 trillion. We're going to try for $2 trillion, and we've got a good shot at getting $1 trillion reduced. You don't have a shot at getting any of it reduced, because it's all going to come from Congress, and they're going to have to pull the stuff back. And even on the green grifting program stuff, you've got 18, 19 Republicans who say, no,

I want that pork for my district. Trump's team has told European officials that the true deadline for ending the war in Ukraine is going to be several months. He said more specifically six months when he went on with Newsmax. Weeks after winning, Trump rejected the notion that his presidency would be a failure if he was unable to bring down grocery prices. Here's a hint. Uh, stop killing animals needlessly by the millions. He said, I'd like to bring them down. It's hard to bring them down once they're up.

You know, it's very hard as I point out. Um, he told that to time magazine federal reserve officials meanwhile have expressed concern last month that trump's tariffs and immigration crackdown could stoke inflation potentially leading to higher interest rates and inflation that's why i was saying gold you know look at gold we know what happens uh with. It is not only a hedge against inflation, but it is also something that is private, and that's a very important thing. But yeah, all of the fundamentals, as Tony Arderman is always saying when he comes on, all the things that were there before Trump got selected by whoever selected him. It wasn't me.

It wasn't you either, even if you voted. But, you know, these people were put into office. But all of the stuff that's there, the massive deficit and the ongoing debt and the fact that he wants to remove the debt ceiling, what does that tell you? They're going to ramp this stuff up. That means we're going to have more inflation. That is a certainty. The only question is, can he browbeat the Federal Reserve

to get them to lower interest rates? He and his advisors previewed plans to unleash 100 executive orders. And they're bragging about this as if this was a good thing. The MAGA media is. Do we really want to be ruled by dictates from the Oval Office? Because you're going to wind up having somebody like Obama or Biden dictating to you in the future if you accept this as a precedent. You know, he says, well, I want to be a dictator. But then he winks at, well, not really a dictator.

Well, no, you really are a dictator. If you're going to be ruling by 100 executive order on the very first day. I don't understand how clueless people are to cheer something like this. Well, PBS has put together 10 promises that Trump made for day one. And they're not quite on, as you would guess, because it's PBS. Behind in the polls in late October, Trump ventured to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania to give American voters a, quote, contract, unquote,

detailing what he would achieve during his first day in office. Beneath a list of 18 major actions was the flourish of Trump's familiar signature and a blank space for voters to sign. It's all reminiscent of what Gingrich did with his contract for America in 1994. And it was, I thought, really kind of missed the point. I mean, they had some good things in there, like term limits, which Gingrich never put in. The other nine things, he and the and of course they were able to

get a big sea change in terms of republicans in congress with that contract with america it was a good marketing ploy but the stuff that was there i thought really kind of missed the mark and so um they did that in 1994 when i ran for congress in the next time 1996 i put out pamphlets and flyers. And when I was on radio and stuff, I would tell people, no, my contract with America is the Bill of Rights. Ten of those, you know? Remember those?

Remember the Bill of Rights? It's more important than any of that stuff that Newt Gingrich put in. You know, again, it was things like term limits, which they never acted on. It was a line item veto, which Bill Clinton liked. He liked the line item veto. And so they said, yeah, we got that. They passed it and Bill Clinton signed it. And then Rudy Giuliani, 9-11 Rudy, before 9-11,

said, no, I'm not going to have the waste and the pork that's coming into New York City. I don't want that subject to the whims of a president and his executive orders or whatever. I don't want to have my money taken away like that. So he challenged it, took it to the Supreme Court, and won. The Supreme Court said, no, you can't have a line item veto. Why would they say that?

What's the logic of that? There's absolutely no logic to it. It's purely political. But when I ran in 96, I ran against Virginia Fox, who's now become famous for replacing Thomas Massey on the rules committee for a number of things, but especially because she wants to censor anybody who says anything anti-Semitic. And I don't agree with anti-Semitism, but I don't agree with censorship about anything. I don't think there ought to be any hate speech rules, none whatsoever.

If you are going to make hate speech a crime, that is something that is subjective. You cannot objectively determine hate. When you're talking about hate speech, that's nothing other than speech that you hate. And what it tells us is that these people who hate speech, hate the First Amendment and freedom of speech. But yeah, I actually ran against Virginia Fox in that district. But so here's his 10 key promises, according to PPS. For day one, institute a constitutional amendment for congressional term limits. See, it's back.

He copied the general idea of Newt Gingrich and even in detail. Hiring freeze for federal government to reduce payrolls. Yeah, both of those would be great. I guess, yeah, I have mixed feelings about congressional term limits. If I believed that the elections were honest and fair, I would think that we could make that determination ourselves. But you see, there's structural issues that would remain. Just by saying that somebody's got a term limit, that's not going to solve anything. I've talked before about how in North Carolina, Obama carried North Carolina in 2008 when he first became president. Two years later, there was buyer's remorse, right?

They didn't like it. And so what happened was all of the, in 2010, all of the state offices went Republican. That had been carried, Democrats of the state offices went Republican. Democrats had the state. And it was a reaction against Obama. And it all went Republican except for the congressional districts. And the congressional districts did not change. Because with gerrymandering and all the rest of the stuff and that's the issue that

the way that congress congressional incumbents have of keeping their place that's the issue because um uh you know when there was a more open free election in terms of the state house and the state senate and all the rest of this stuff. That changed. But the congressional districts, because of gerrymandering and other things, are set in stone. And so what happened was 2010 was a census year. And the Republicans got the legislature majority, legislative majority, for I think the first time since Reconstruction. And they were able to redraw the congressional districts to their advantage.

And so then the next election, the Republicans did win in those. That's the issue. By saying that you're going to have term limits if you don't do anything about that kind of manipulation, nothing is going to change in Congress. Moving to the other ones ban white house and congressional officials from becoming lobbyists for five years after they leave the government well this is the thing that kind of came up in the hegseth hearings was it yesterday the day before uh where you know, yeah, Trump is making these statements about how we don't want generals to go work for the military industrial complex. And he had Mark Wayne Mullen said, well, you're a bunch of hypocrites because you just changed all the rules so that this military industrial complex guy, Austin, could come back.

But I think that's a good idea. It's just that, you know, nobody wants it to apply to them, right? Hegseth doesn't want it to apply to him. And the Democrats don't want it to apply to their people. And so, again, it's another one of these back and forth. Well, you did it. Well, you know, that type of thing. Announcement of plans to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement with Canada and Mexico or withdraw from the deal.

This is PBS. Did they not know that Trump renamed NAFTA USMCA in his first term? And again, NAFTA is a horrible thing. And so is USMCA. And USMCA is just a rebranding of what NAFTA was. Nothing changed. He carved out a couple of issues like, you know, milk being sold to Canada or whatever. But fundamentally, it's the same.

It's still a stab in the back. It's still that great sucking sound that NAFTA always was. It's just with a new name. There's still treaties, and you can go to arbitration, and the different companies can force this on the government. It's an organization, this NAFTA thing, which is not just screwing the average American businesses, but it is also a supranational arbitration thing that is more powerful than the sovereign governments that created it. They yielded their sovereignty to this panel. It's a total betrayal. You want to talk about North American Union? It's like when you say, well, okay, we would like to do this, but because we created this other thing, we're going to be subordinate to it.

But it's not NAFTA. It's not called NAFTA anymore. The next thing that PBS has here, formally withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership. I don't think we're in the Trans-Pacific Partnership. But again, Trump's not going to mention it. Democrats, of course. No Republicans are going to mention the Paris Climate Accord. Lift restriction on mining coal and drilling for oil and natural gas. And again, that would be a good thing. But will we be allowed to

use it if we have the Paris Climate Accord there? That's the other issue. Or will we have to sell it to China so that they can burn it and have energy and have low-cost manufacturing advantages? Remove any Obama-era roadblocks to energy projects, such as the Keystone XL pipeline, which Biden killed on day one. Cancel U.S. payments to U.N. climate change programs. programs well that would be nice but um again it's um easier it's easier to just say we're not going to abide by the paris climate accord we were never in it he won't do that uh it's he'll make a fight about saying that he wants to get out of

the un climate change programs and then say but you know supreme court says i can't do it or something like that when he'll leave the paris climate accord in place stop all federal funding to sanctuary cities suspend immigration from regions that are associated with terrorism where it is difficult to vet. This is from Just the News. And I just read for you PBS's top 10 things that Trump is going to do on day one. Well, this is Just the News. Solomon put this in. Trump's top 12 campaign promises.

First of all, we're going to renew the Trump tax cuts and there will be no tax on tips. What does this tell you? Let's read between the lines here. He just bragged about creating the external revenue service. And I said, yeah, they're going to leave the internal revenue service there as well. And we're going to get both of them, which has always been the issue. We talk about a national sales tax or a fair tax or this or that. The issue is always going to be, well, you're going to put that new tax in, but I don't trust that you're going to take out the IRS. And he's not going to take out the IRS.

And he never promised to take out the IRS. And if he's promising that there's going to be no tax on tips, that means that the income tax is going to remain. And if he's promising that he's going to renew the Trump tax cuts, that means that the income tax remains. And even worse, because of Mike Johnson, the seven-fold increase in the IRS's budget and the 80,000 new agents and all of the artificial intelligence will remain. Will remain. So, the 12 from just the news.

Mass deportations. Finish the wall. Yeah, right. By the way, you'll have that. You'll still have the income tax. And you're also going to have a 20% to 25% increase on the stuff that you buy. Most of the manufactured consumer goods are coming out of China. There'll be at least a 20% to 25% increase on that. China, it may be more.

He'll also have the Remain in Mexico policy, the Drill Baby Drill policy, the no tax on tips. He'll restore the strategic arms limitation deduction. I'm sorry. The SALT tax, the state and local tax deductions. That was something that he pulled out when he put through his his tax cuts they capped everything at $10,000 and look at the property values that they have gone up if you're living somewhere where there's high property

tax rates like New York and New Jersey or California and the massive inflation that we have seen and the so-called valuation of property taxes. You can get over that $10,000 limit just looking at the property taxes. And then you're not able to deduct any sales taxes or anything like that. Again, no tax on overtime. So it's no tax on tips, no tax on overtime. So it's no tax on tips, no tax on overtime. And then talking about the things that he's going to do in the income tax code, he's going to give people back the state and local tax deductions.

Are you catching on that he isn't about to give up on the income tax? There's going to be a little bit of tweaking, but the income tax is There's going to be a little bit of tweaking, but the income tax is going to remain fully, and you're going to get the full impact of his 20% to 25% tariffs. He's also going to end taxes on Social Security benefits, another IRS thing, right? Another income tax thing.

He's going to incentivize Made in America. Well, how is he going to do that? He says, we're going to cut the business tax from 21 to 15%, which makes most us the most competitive tax anywhere on the planet. How about you just end it again? We're going to give tax breaks to people about social security businesses. We're going to cut those taxes. No taxes on tips, no taxes on overtime.

Get rid of the income tax. It is a millstone around our neck. You don't care about the deficit. The Democrats don't care about the deficit. Why are you stealing money from us for something that you say is not important? And you pinch every penny when it comes to a tax cut. And then, of course, ending the Ukraine war. Right. That is always the promise. He also says he's going to end the electric vehicle mandate. What does that mean? He says, I'll end the electric vehicle mandate on day one.

Referring to a new EPA regulation that limits tailpipe pollution. So automakers are compelled to sell more electric and hybrid models. Well, it's not just that. The EPA is shutting down our power plants as well. Don't end the electric vehicle mandates. End the bureaucracy that gave them to us. Because they're doing a lot of other destructive things. He'll never, none of these people ever focus on the real issue. The real issue are these bureaucracies and that so-called treaty, the Paris thing.

He says he'll roll back federal regulations on day one. I'll sign an executive order directing every federal agency to immediately remove every single burdensome regulation. What utter nonsense. Does anybody believe that? That's so meaningless. It is so general. Every single burdensome regulation will be removed on day one. What a BS artist he is, isn't it?

They will ban transgender individuals and women's sports and in the military and cut federal funding for woke schools how about just cutting federal funding for schools period and stop bribing people to do unproductive things trump has also pledged to end birthright citizenship on his first day, and he doesn't have the power to do that. He'll posture about that, and he'll be sued, and he'll turn it over to the Supreme Court, and they'll do whatever they do.

But he doesn't have anything to say about anchor babies and about the 14th Amendment. And then what will happen to the pardons this was part of the confirmation questioning for pam bondy that he wants as attorney general replacing his initial choice of matt gates and trump had said i'll be looking at J6 pardons early on, maybe in the first nine minutes. What a joker he is. But here's the back and forth between, of all people, Adam Schiff. Adam Schiff is now a senator.

If that doesn't take away your optimism about things. But it's just, what other stuff is California capable of doing? But listen to this back and forth between Bondi and Schiff. Are you prepared to advise the president not to pardon people who beat police officers? Senator, as I said, the parties are at the direction of the president. We will look and we will advise. I will look at every case on a case by case basis. And I abhor violence to police officers. So will it be your advice to the president? Mr. President, I know you said you want to issue hundreds of pardons on day one. Will it be your advice to the president? You know, like Biden did?

President, I need to go over them on a case-by-case basis. Do not issue blanket pardons. Will that be your advice to the president? But Biden did that. Senator, I have not looked at any of those files. If confirmed, I will look at the files for the pardons as well as the ongoing investigation.

And will you be able to do, will you be able to review hundreds of cases on day one? I will look at every file. I am asked to look at. Of course you won't. So will you advise the president? Can I answer the question? Well, my question is... I would have plenty of staff. You said, of course you want? You'll be able to review hundreds of cases on Thursday? I'm not going to mislead this body, nor you. All right, let me ask another question. You don't want to answer that. Let me ask another question. You were censured by Congress, Senator, for comments just like this that are so reckless. Okay, so there you go.

There's your soap opera for the day. DGA, thank you for the tips. As David Trump told the audience at the Libertarian Convention that on day one, he will free Ross, release all unredacted 9-11 and JFK files, and told Cheryl Atkinson that he will release all unredacted Epstein files. I mean, he's not even going to take his name out in all those Epstein files. iBoost says Trump will probably pardon one J6er for MAGA and then they can claim that he pardoned them.

Yeah, you keep track of the claim that he pardoned them. Yeah. Yeah. You keep track of the count that he puts out there. And look, when Adam Schiff is all torqued out about this stuff, like I said, you know, you didn't hear her say, but what did Biden do? Right. Biden gave preemptive pardons to Hunter for everything that he's done for the last decade or something. Right.

Biden pardoned 1500,500 people. Did he review each and every one of those cases? And Biden, you want to talk about violent J6ers? Biden pardoned all of the people on federal death row except for three of them. Those are things that are worse than beating a cop they probably kill people um a good fan the charts do work but remember uh katherine awesome fits speaks of pump and dump to drive up bitcoin what is the intrinsic value of bitcoin anyway yeah what is it every time i see it it's depicted as a gold. They even talk about mining it and so forth.

Yeah. Audi, Modern Retro Radio. If anyone thinks that grocery prices are going to go down under Trump, I've got a rail system in East Palestine, Ohio to sell you. That's right. Toxic waste right there. Nibiru 2029 says, it's hard to bring down prices once they're up, but it's not hard to continue the price inflation as Trump will do, threefold at least. Yeah, let's just understand that this trajectory that we're on, we're adding a trillion dollars every 100 days.

Now it's more than a trillion dollars every 100 days. That trajectory went up. You know, we had this slope in the increase in the cumulative debt, you know, the deficit, the cumulative deficit and the total debt. And it was going up at a certain rate until Trump came in. And then it goes up in a much deeper slope. And Biden maintained that all along what is trump going to do to reduce that i don't think so um and uh right overture says i thought an executive order is only a temporary emergency order subject to congress and or the courts but this thing's going to go for at least nine years yeah um but you know some executive orders are more orderly than others. Harps, good to see you there in Australia.

He and the AG are going to take the firearms and do the due process later again. Yeah, I'm not very happy with the actions of Bondi, if you go back and look on it. Of course, it's nothing that Adam Schiff would complain about. He actually would like those types of things that she did. Well, that's it for today. Again, we'll be gone tomorrow, but it's going to be in good hands. Gard Goldsmith will be hosting tomorrow, and we're going to take a break and celebrate our anniversary,

which we were unable to do earlier in the week. Have a good weekend. We'll see you on. The common man. They created common core to dumb down our children. They created common past to track and control us. Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing. And the communist future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.

But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find at thedavidknightshow.com. Thank you for listening. Thank you for listening.
