Starting point is 00:00:54 You're listening to The David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it's Tuesday, the 28th of May, year of our Lord, 2024. Well, we're going to take a look at some politics today. I thought it was very interesting to see Trump and RFK Jr. at the Libertarian Party Convention. They had some interesting things to say. And even the Libertarian Party gives us some examples that we can learn from. As I've said many times, I think it's a mistake to focus so much on centralized government solutions. And I see that even being done by the libertarians. But there were some issues that were brought up.
Starting point is 00:01:49 One of the reasons I said I'm not an RFK supporter, never was, but I said the fact that he had been included would be interesting to talk about some of the issues. And so there were some issues that were talked about. Of course, the biggest issue was Trump's ego. We'll be back. We're going to talk first, though, about Memorial Day
Starting point is 00:02:10 and some of the news revolving that. Where did it come from and what happened? We'll be right back. All right. And we've already got a tip on Rumble. Thank you very much, Marty. I really do appreciate that. By the way, we'll talk about this later and get a list of some people who've sent checks uh i don't have my list yet of people who've sent zell and other things but i will mention that later uh we're up to uh we've moved the needle up
Starting point is 00:02:54 or we'll be moving the needle up uh to one past uh half to five eights so things are really low this month we really do appreciate the tip marty thank you very much um and on rumble texas jfk mindset says david and travis what are both your favorite cars and trucks if you could choose one vehicle and money was no concern um you gotta you got your answer travis i know mine i've always thought the uh mid 90s porsche 944 looks really nice. Oh, okay. All right. Well, mine would be the one that I've got. I've changed it to, there were a couple of things I didn't like about the third generation Miata, and so I changed those. And I just want to let everybody know, it was a good time to talk about that.
Starting point is 00:03:40 I had a friend from the broadcast, Bob, who was in Texas, a mechanic, and he offered to fix it. I said, no, no, no, don't drive all the way from Texas to fix this car. I really appreciate that. But he said, no, I got to go up to the northeast to pick up a diesel. But I'm going to, you know, just picking up some diesel cars and fixing them and reselling them. And so he said, I've got one up there and i got one in south carolina but i can't pull two of them at the same time uh so he says i'll bring that one there leave it there take off the head and remachine that when i go back to austin you know take the go down to south
Starting point is 00:04:17 carolina pick that one up and take it to austin and then i'll bring the finished one back and take the first car back home, which is what he did. I'm not driving it yet because I need to get tires for it. We're waiting to, like I said, donations have been a bit thin. So it's still sitting there. But I made a lot of changes to it. I didn't like the looks of the front. I got a different bumper that I put on it.
Starting point is 00:04:40 And I changed things with the suspension, which was already good. I made it even better. Uh, haven't done anything with the engine because I'm not interested in going super fast. Uh, I, you know, it's about, it's a momentum car. I like the handling. So, uh, thanks for asking. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:54 It's a, it's a lot of fun. It's a, just a perfect car. Um, it had all the best aspects of all the different sports cars that I'd had in one, in my opinion, uh, the CBDC, he said, what is their plan in terms of inflation? Are they attempting to reset this? How would this equate to current bank personal accounts? Well, the thing about, I don't know the details of what they plan in terms of inflation. I think they're going to put their dollar strength first.
Starting point is 00:05:25 They're going to put that above the best interest of the people and even above the interest of the incumbent, I think. I don't think they're going to get the kinds of interest rate increases or decreases that people were expecting. It'll be later and probably lesser than what had happened anyway, but it doesn't mean that inflation is under control. They're not anywhere close to controlling inflation with the interest rates where they are. So I think it's going to get really crazy after the election, especially. I don't think inflation is going to slow down even with these high interest rates. For the longest time, Gerald Cilenti has been saying it's going to be dragflation. I believe
Starting point is 00:06:03 that's true. It's not going to just be stagnant. Stagflation like we had in the 70s after we had the shock to the system of OPEC. When you hit energy, that propagates throughout the economy. Everything is tied to that. It's like adding a massive value-added tax. Highly inflationary, and it kills people's ability to conduct business. Biden began doing that himself at the very beginning of his administration, attacking our energy, putting in sanctions and other things like that, creating chaos. But his EPA is now just shutting everything down.
Starting point is 00:06:43 And the EPA is not just Biden's EPA. You know, they are fully on board with the Democrat agenda. But of course, when Republicans get in, like Trump, they do nothing to stop it. The EPA needs to be killed or it's going to kill us. It's just that simple. You know, Carthage must be destroyed. The EPA must be destroyed. We got to get rid of judicial supremacy.
Starting point is 00:07:02 We got to get rid of the EPA. But the EPA is now going to shut down the grid. They've started attacking power plants. They want to even attack our food supply in the name of emissions, just like they've attacked our cars. It's not going to stop. This bureaucratic parasite, just like all parasites do, they keep growing and expanding until they kill the host. And that's what the EPA and a lot of these bureaucracies are going to do. How is this going to equate to current personal bank accounts? The intention, the long-term intention, and I don't know how this is going to, the timeframe for which it's going to happen, but I knew do know what they want to do. And what they want to do is get rid of the smaller,
Starting point is 00:07:46 medium sized banks. So they only have the handful of too big to fail tightly connected to the federal government banks. And so the big banks that are currently debanking people like bank of America and others will continue on and, um, they'll help facilitate this, um, CBDC. I think they want to bust the economy as much as they can
Starting point is 00:08:09 create financial dependence, offer a CBDC as an incentive. Well, you want the welfare, you want the stimulus check, you got to get it with CBDC. That was the plan that Gates used in India to push the first one of these universal digital ID things, the Aadhaar system in India. That's how he pushed it. Pushed it on the poor people. Rock fan Dusty Milton. What happens with the consumer debt when the market crashes and they switch to CBDC? Will banks still try to collect? Well, I certainly think they will and i think the
Starting point is 00:08:47 government will help them in that i don't think there's going to be any kind of debt amnesty on that kind of stuff when you look at what they did they were going to help everybody during the pandemic lockdown right so they had the cdc jump in and say we're going to stop people from being kicked out for not paying their rent we're going to stop people from being kicked out for not paying their rent. We're going to stop people from being foreclosed upon if they're behind. Because we shut everything down, we're going to magnanimously extend this. Problem is, all they did was kick the can down the road, and it was really not so much like a can, but it was like a snowball. That debt that you were into with the banks and that continued to snowball and um you know when and you had a lot of people that were caught in a squeeze i talked about it at the time
Starting point is 00:09:31 uh there were some uh people who were one case that i remember very well in new york city a chinese immigrant couple couple uh and they were doing menial labor. They were, uh, dishwashers. They were, uh, doing, um, housekeeping work, you know, cleaning work and stuff like that, but they had pulled together and scraped their pennies together and they, uh, so that they could buy income property, not just that they were trying to get a house and New York, but they had scraped this together with income property. And what was happening was, uh but they had scraped this together with income property. And what was happening was they had people who are tenants who are not paying their rent. They couldn't evict them.
Starting point is 00:10:15 And so that meant that they had no money to pay this bill. Now, you know, the, they also would not have foreclosure, but what happened was it just continues to snowball every month and they had no income coming in that they could pay it. So, you know, when that came off off they're going to lose their property uh that's the type of thing i expect them to do with cbdc well let's talk a little bit about memorial day where did it first come from it was first founded on uh well okay we got one more question here uh for right now on rumble marky mark new. Thank you for the tip. He says, Dave, since there will only be a few TBTF banks left for the too big to fail
Starting point is 00:10:52 for the CBDC. What do you think about migrating to a local credit union? Is that a good workaround? I'm with the big banks. I'm concerned. Get away from the big banks. The big banks are the ones that are instantly debanking people, just like the filmmaker that I talked about last week. And we've seen that happen in the UK as well.
Starting point is 00:11:10 And we've seen it happen not just with her, but this has happened to several people. And so get away from the big banks. Get with a smaller local bank. They may fail, but, you know, it's at least when they fail, there's going to be some FDIC or I think there'll be massive riots. It may mean that you've got a delay in getting your money. But, you know, it's another reason why you need to have some cash, need to have gold and silver.
Starting point is 00:11:39 But, you know, keep some cash. So you got some liquidity there in case they do lock down the banks or something for a period of time. That's what happened with the FDIC when they shut down those banks. Remember, some of the people, they're worrying, when am I going to get my money? Well, they expedited that so that they shut them down, I think, on a Friday. And they got their money by Monday or Tuesday or something like that. But people were worried about that. Who knows if it's bigger what they're going to do.
Starting point is 00:12:09 But just make sure that you've got some emergency money that is there. You'll eventually get it. I think at least in the first round, credit unions are probably a good source. And again, it's a, you know, smaller, type of thing. And so I would just look for something like that. Make sure that you got gold and silver, go to davidknight.gold, take you to Tony Artaban, you can get gold and silver and any larger, small, you can put your, uh, IRA. If you got one, you can put that in metals and, um, that will be a, you know know they will store that for you but that's actually physical metal that's there in a vault for you uh and you can even get into the regular savings program that he's got wolf pack which allows you to regularly save a certain amount and also get a bulk buying discounts and and save a little bit on the um on the purchase price of that, but the power of everybody
Starting point is 00:13:06 buying that together. So yeah, I can't tell the future. We can see the general contours, but we don't know the specifics of it. Dougaluck, thank you very much. And I've got a note from you. I'm going to read in a little bit about Roku. Rumble, NMAX, most credit unions signed an agreement with the Federal reserve to go along with their money grab well anybody who is part of this financial system uh small banks and all the rest of the stuff uh they are you know going to go along with it to some degree uh i just what i'm talking about is debanking people you know if, if they collapse the system, they're all going to be a part of that. But, uh, you know, when we look at focusing on individuals and that kind of targeted takedown,
Starting point is 00:13:53 that's going to be coming from the bigger banks, I think primarily. And, um, uh, rumble Marky Mark, uh, says Dave already bought silver from Tony. I'll be enrolling a Wolfpack soon. Good, good. Uh, David Knight, I go, by the way, you Tony. I'll be enrolling in Wolfpack soon. Good, good. David Knight, Digold. By the way, you know, Gerald Slenty saw all this stuff coming. He warned people about it years in advance, this commercial real estate thing, which is the really big threat to the small and medium-sized banks as well
Starting point is 00:14:17 as to the economy. And I talked about CBDC from the very beginning. I said, yeah, they're going to shut everything down because that's what they're pushing. From dirty cash to digital trash. From dirty cash to digital trash. But if you want to get Gerald Slinty's Trends Journal, you can get that at TrendsJournal.com. Just use the code Knight and you can save 10% there at Trends Journal. He's always ahead of the trends.
Starting point is 00:14:47 And I've been talking to Charles Salenti for over a decade, and he has always got the trends on economics. Let's talk a little bit about Memorial Day. And I thought it was kind of interesting. This article from VDARE, they said, remember, this is founded on North-South reconciliation after the Civil War. Remember when we wanted to do something like that? And so I said, when they were pushing through the Insurrection Act and they were using that against people, and they said, well, this is put in with the Civil War. And I said, and you notice it was put in after the Civil War and they never used it.
Starting point is 00:15:22 They didn't use it against the president of the Confederacy or any of the generals, none of the soldiers. They didn't use it against the president of the Confederacy or any of the generals, none of the soldiers. They didn't use it against anybody. Why? They wanted to, they were tired of war. The casualties had been incredible, especially when you look at it adjusted for the size of the much, much, much smaller country. At a country that was maybe 10% of the size that we are, they were having casualties like at Gettysburg, over 50,000 people killed. Just multiply that by 10.
Starting point is 00:15:58 Can you imagine 500,000 people killed in a day? I mean, 9-11 was 3,000 people. And that was just one battle. A small battle, you would have 2,000 or 3,000 people killed was just one battle a small battle you would have two or three thousand people killed a small battle so nobody has seen casualties like that uh especially adjusted for the population and they were tired of it and they didn't want to keep pushing even with this insurrection act memorial date uh day dates back to War. It's one of the reasons why November 11th, Remembrance Day, throughout Western Europe. It's also called Veterans Day in the U.S. November 11th was Armistice Day. It was when they ended World War I in 1918.
Starting point is 00:16:42 But the U.S. already had its own massively destructive internecine war. As a matter of fact, look at that picture that is there, the North-South Reconciliation. That is on the 50th anniversary of Gettysburg. And so they had quite a few survivors. These guys, you know, they worked hard, they ate pure food. if they weren't shot in the civil war they typically lived to a pretty old age there's a lot of audio recordings out there people who are civil war veterans but uh you know when we look at that it really was about a country that was tired of war a country that wanted to heal unlike our country today the The people who hate Confederates also hate American soldiers who fought in the Civil War, who fought in the Indian Wars, who fought in the Philippine insurrection, who fought
Starting point is 00:17:32 in Vietnam or in the War on Terror, because all those things are about American history, aren't they? Patriots may disagree retrospectively with some decisions to go to war, but we do honor the dead themselves. One dead man we don't think worthy of honor, they said, is Joe Biden, who tweets every Memorial Day about George Floyd. Floyd, an ex-convict drug addict, chose Memorial Day weekend at 2020 to try to pass a counterfeit bill leading to his arrest and his death, probably from a drug overdose,
Starting point is 00:18:06 when he resisted arrest. As we have Confederate memorials and statues of Teddy Roosevelt and Christopher Columbus falling, memorials to George Floyd rose. Why? Because they want to divide us for a civil war. And this civil war, they want to make it along the lines of race and this is why they are even you know the statues are the very that they're taking down and the new statues that they're putting up are the very last aspects of this new culture and history that they're pushing on us and have pushed on us in the schools.
Starting point is 00:18:47 That's one of the final things that they do. You know, when they were taking down Saddam Hussein's statue, that was after you've won, you take down the other side's statue. Just remember that politics is downstream of culture. Culture is downstream of the spiritual war. So this article was on Breitbart. And I thought it was interesting because it's a background to this flag that has been so controversial to the mainstream media. The Revolutionary War flag, an appeal to heaven.
Starting point is 00:19:22 A white flag with a green pine tree on it. Oh, the hatred that they have for that. Why? Because it's about our history. Because it's about the Revolutionary War. An unsung hero that was involved in part of that. And how dare Alito's wife or Sam Alito himself, how dare them fly a flag that was part of the establishment of this country? Because these people hate everything about our country.
Starting point is 00:19:54 These Marxists choose to destroy everything. Countless times the fate of the nascent American nation depended on the right person being in the right place at the right time. Like the 26-year-old Marblehead Captain James Mugford, who captured the largest single prize of the Revolutionary War, the Hope, that's the name of the ship. Mugford captained the Franklin, one of George Washington's cruisers, and that ship proudly flew one of America's first flags, appeal to heaven. On May 10th, 1776, five weeks into her journey across the Atlantic, the Hope, a British 282-ton transport ship carrying a staggering 1,500 barrels of priceless gunpowder,
Starting point is 00:20:43 mysteriously separated from her 11 ship escort in the thick fog her disappearance was even more suspicious because before her departure from cork the flotilla commander had received an anonymous letter questioning the loyalties of the ship's master seven days later american privateer captain mugford spotted the lone vessel creeping towards boston through his spyglass. This privateer, the Franklin, by the way, he's a private sailor, privateer. They outsourced this stuff, right? They have this massive Pentagon bureaucracy they can't find us behind.
Starting point is 00:21:21 Anyway, they had set out from Beverly, Massachusetts two days earlier with only a skeleton crew of 21 men because of the difficulty of recruiting mariners. So they said, Mugford had only managed to secure his current crew because he had previously secured wages for a dozen corps men. He had the ship, the Hope, in sight. The marble headers put up the sails for the Franklin to the wind and caught it up with a heavy British ship. The appeal to heaven flag fluttering in the wind represented something truly extraordinary. In October 1775, shortly after the first of Washington's cruisers left port to attack the Royal Navy, Joseph Reed suggested to John Glover, what do you think
Starting point is 00:22:02 of a flag with a white ground, a tree in the middle, the motto, appeal to heaven? Congress and Washington were already taking an unprecedented step toward independence and sovereignty and authorizing warships. So flying a separate flag was a monumental leap to independence. And now we are both ignorant and hateful of that heritage and so they attack a supreme court justice who flies that flag at his house you know the other thing that he's accused of doing is flying an american flag upside down after an election i think that should be a new tradition quite frankly i thought it was a great idea I think that'll be our family tradition.
Starting point is 00:22:45 Like we said on last week, Travis said, I'll have to get an American flag before I can do that. Ignoring the hopes, four and six pound swivel guns, they courageously boarded the larger vessel and were shocked to find themselves evenly matched to the crew of 18 that was on the larger ship. The hope. that was on the larger ship, the Hope. Even more surprised when Captain Mugford demanded her manifest from Captain Lunsdale. The fact that it had 1,000 carbines, stacks of bayonets, five gun carriages, piles of cartridge boxes, and an astonishing 1,500 barrels of gunpowder. Enough powder to supply either army's needs for a month,
Starting point is 00:23:28 adding to the appearance of divine providence, the hope escorted by Franklin, ran aground just outside Boston Harbor. Two months earlier, Congress had declared a day of prayer and fasting. Colonial churchgoers emerged from their respective houses of worship on the designated afternoon of May the 17th to see the captured ship in the harbor as if in direct answers to their prayers. Perhaps it was. Elated, they immediately began divesting her of her precious cargo and dispersing it. Despite the crown evacuating Boston a month earlier, two British warships are still lurking outside the Boston Harbor. They saw Mugsford's stranded vessel,
Starting point is 00:24:10 and they sent a boarding party to attack the disabled ship. Mugsford, who was on the ship, they hope, hailed the boats as they slithered across the black water towards his vessel. In answer, they called back that they were from boston mugford warned the boarding party keep off or i'll fire upon you he simultaneously commanded his men to ready the guns and order the anchor cut so franklin's broadside and her guns faced the ongoing rowboats ignoring their pleas not to fire mugford fired his musket and the crews of Lady Washington and Franklin followed suit. And the musket and cannonballs sailed across
Starting point is 00:24:52 the water, tearing into the small boats as well as the flesh and bone of the men aboard them. They managed to sink two small boats, but before Franklin's cannon could discharge another deadly blast, some of Lieutenant Harris's men were already aboard mugford's ship mugford and his men peppered the borders with small arms and harpoon spears even cutting off the hands of soldiers as they laid them on the gunwell it was brutal war is always brutal But it was brutal and up close. There was no long-distance, button-pushing, video-monitor war with this. They were right up close.
Starting point is 00:25:31 But, of course, remote-control bombs can blow you apart just as easily as somebody chopping off your hands. But it was a very different type of war. Mugford was described as having outstretched arms, righteously dealing with death and destruction before he received a mortal wound to his chest. He cried out, I'm a dead man, but don't give up the vessel. You'll be able to beat them off. And beat them off they did. Although they lost their beloved captain
Starting point is 00:25:58 in the fight, his crew sailed his body back to Marblehead, where thousands thronged to pay their respects. And he was buried with highest honors as the first captain in Washington's Navy to die in combat. Mugford, forever young, turned 27 years old on the day of his death. He would never see America declare independence a month and a half later, but the priceless cargo helped to secure freedom.
Starting point is 00:26:30 That's the story of the appeal to heaven. 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.
Starting point is 00:26:48 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. © BF-WATCH TV 2021 liberty it's your move you're listening to The David Knight Show. Well, let's talk about the silent civil war of the CIA versus America. The CIA versus you. Because that's what this is about. The CIA's secret effort to seize control of social media.
Starting point is 00:28:20 Why? Because social media has far more ammunition if they don't control it than that British ship, the Hope. That was enough ammunition to supply an army for a month. Enough gunpowder. There's enough ammunition, if people are allowed to speak, to shut this government down. And that's what we need. that's why they attack social media i thought it was interesting the zero hedge report uh very detailed about some new things that are being done openly about by the cia in terms of its efforts to get control of social media they don't acknowledge the fact that the cia was instrumental in the creation of both the DARPA and the CIA, instrumental in the creation of both the Internet and social media, as I've pointed out many times on this program.
Starting point is 00:29:14 But they do see what is happening within QTEL, that venture capital firm that was created in the 90s when the hardware caught up to the speed and the bandwidth that they needed in order to do social media, that was when they went in hard. And they funded all the people who are now in control of the Internet, including those who lost and disappeared. They created all of the they chose the people that would work with him. Zero Hedge says, while the CIA is strictly prohibited from spying on or running clandestine operations against American citizens on U.S. soil, a bombshell new Twitter report reveals that a member of the board of trustees of In-Q-Tel, the CIA's mission-driving venture capital firm, along with former, and they always put that in quotes, right? Former intelligence community and CIA analysts. You know, when you've got somebody that's been with the CIA,
Starting point is 00:30:11 he's got a long history, whatever. Are they really former or are they just sheep dip now? You know, what is going on with these people? Yeah, I'm not with the CIA. So the stuff I'm telling you is true now, right? They lie, they cheat, they they steal they have classes on it have people who've done that all their life and they enjoy doing that characterizes them like john kiryaku said they look for people in the cia who are sociopaths he says they get them right up to the line of psychopath and hopefully don't go over but
Starting point is 00:30:46 there's a few that do go over the line of a psychopath but um to run clandestine operations against american citizens on u.s soil that's that's forbidden says their edge so i guess they don't do that right come on let's not be naive the The FISA law, the FISA Act, which they don't care about, which they eviscerated with a Section 702, and now Mike Johnson and the Republicans, the vast majority of them, voted to not only extend it in time, but extend it in scope this last time, that was there because the CIA and the NSA had been spying on Americans from their inception right after World War II. And so Frank Church and the Senate
Starting point is 00:31:34 and Pike and the House held hearings about the CIA and the NSA respectively. They came up with the FISA Act. But then these clever devils used the FISA Act, specifically the FISA Court, to go in and get search warrants for Mr. and Mrs. Verizon. They used the Section 702 to say, well, okay, we're prohibited from looking at anybody
Starting point is 00:32:03 other than foreign citizens in foreign countries. They couldn't even look at foreign citizens in the U.S. But they said, well, if anybody isn't talking to them, we can intercept that. We can do a couple of hops to people, that type of thing. So they're not constrained by it. As a matter of fact, they actually used it to give themselves legal cover. So it's not surprising to see that they're still at it. Of course they were still at it.
Starting point is 00:32:28 I've been saying this all along. Before we knew the Twitter files, we knew who was doing the censorship. It was the U.S. government. Now we've got the documents. And still, the Congress still doesn't want to do anything about that because they're not the government. The CIA is the government of America. Remember that coup that happened in 1960? What was it?
Starting point is 00:32:56 Two 63, I guess it was. Yeah. Um, remember that? Well, anyway, the, um, this is an article by Michael Schellenberger, Matt Taibbi, Alex Gutentag. A report at Schellenberger's Public. According to thousands of pages of Twitter files and documents, these efforts are part of a broader strategy to manage how information is disseminated and consumed on social media. That's the ammunition.
Starting point is 00:33:25 They want to seize the ammunition. They do it under the guise of combating misinformation and foreign propaganda efforts. This complex of government-linked individuals and organizations has gone to great lengths to suggest the narrative control is a national security issue. Well, it is for them. See, national security is not about you. National security is not about keeping you safe. They want you to be killed in a war.
Starting point is 00:33:52 They want your family vaporized in a nuclear warfare. They'll be secure in their underground bunkers. National security is about their job security. National security is about securing their massive empire filled with all these little bureaucrats. Certainly isn't about protecting America or individual Americans. No, you are expendable. As a matter of fact, they want population reduction, and that's the best way to get it. As Paul Ehrlich said in the 1960s, before they started the first Earth Day, he said, yeah, we got to reduce population.
Starting point is 00:34:23 Pandemic can do it. Sterilization can do it we can convince people ban people from having kids and that type of thing but the way that you really shut down the population is with a war nothing's better than a war for cutting down the population so don't talk to me about national security these people want to kill us they spy on us they want to kill us they want to push us into war every day they move closer and closer to this now we've got nato uh egging on ukraine yeah those weapons that we gave you shoot them into russia come on come on do it do it they don't need much egging do they? A longtime intelligence community contractor and senior Department of Defense R&D official who spent years developing technologies to detect whistleblowers like Ed Snowden and WikiLeaks leakers.
Starting point is 00:35:14 That was one of the people involved in it. Another one was Jim Baker, who, as FBI general counsel, helped to start theussiagate hoax and as twitter's deputy general counsel urged twitter executive to censor the new york post story about hunter biden and then there was proposed head of the dhs's aborted disinformation governance board nina jank a wits uh who a lot of people called her scary poppins because of her singing what was that a spoonful of sugar or something uh helped surveillance go down anyway jim baker in his capacity as fbi general counsel and later as twitter's deputy general counsel advocated for and implemented policies that would restrict certain types of speech on the platform.
Starting point is 00:36:06 It's always been, you know, since we go back to 2018, it's when I got capped. Interesting, I'm still at the same number. It goes up, goes down, goes up, goes down. They manually, you know, it's funny. Through the week, it'll go up, and throughout on the weekend, it goes up, and then on the weekday, they remove the ones that were added over the weekend. Really strange.
Starting point is 00:36:27 Anyway, the, um, it's, um, it's called a free speech, but no reach. It's called shadow banning and all the rest of the stuff.
Starting point is 00:36:37 It's still there. It's still there. Yeah. Musk hasn't changed any of that stuff. And I've tweeted about it. Um, and funny thing was a drudge picked up my tweet saying, uh, well, Twitter hasn't changed any of that stuff, and I've tweeted about it. And the funny thing was, Drudge picked up my tweet saying, well, Twitter hasn't changed at all for me.
Starting point is 00:36:50 I know he's put in some high-profile people to pretend that he supports free speech. He puts in Nick Fuentes, right? And it reminds me very much of what the ACLU used to do. The ACLU would not support free speech. It would not support open ballots or open debates or any of that kind of stuff. Uh, wouldn't support second amendment,
Starting point is 00:37:11 but boy, the ACLU would support neo-Nazis marching in a small Jewish town, Illinois, Skokie, Illinois. They would support that and say, look at us, how,
Starting point is 00:37:21 uh, dedicated to free speech. We are, we're all Jewish, but we support Nazis marching in a Jewish community, talking about how much they hate them. But they wouldn't do any of the real stuff that was out there. It was a real threat, just virtue signaling.
Starting point is 00:37:39 And I said, that's what Trump, that's what Musk is doing with Twitter. You know, he puts people like Nick Fuentes, makes a big deal about, you know, he's back on the platform. But don't you dare talk about, don't you dare talk about the things that are, that they're pushing right now. Whatever it is, whatever narrative they don't like or they will shadow ban you. May not kick you off because, you know, that'd be bad optics for me. He's got to keep up that pretense that it's about free speech. Furthermore, companies like PayPal, Amazon Web Services, GoDaddy, mentioned as part of a concerted effort by the CIA to de-platform and financially de-incentivize individuals and organizations deemed to be threats by the intelligence community.
Starting point is 00:38:27 It was only five months after we started this show that PayPal was shut down. And PayPal was really central to this show for the first five months. Almost all of our donations came through PayPal. First donations that I got, I had an email that was not running through InfoWars, so I still had that email. And I'll never forget forget i got the first one from a guy named chan and um uh he sent and and i got this email message that said uh you know you've got some money sent through paypal it's like well is this uh some kind of phishing thing or something because i don't even have a paypal account and i didn't and so i looked at it it's like well, well, okay. He says, um, uh, if you get this, uh, let me know, you know, I'll be looking to see if you get this. And, um, so I opened up a thing and accepted it
Starting point is 00:39:16 and it worked. And then, uh, when that went through, he sent me more money and then other people started sending me money on PayPal and it was over that weekend. so i thought well let me just continue the show so we continued it fired on a thursday got you know chan and some other people started sending me money uh on friday because it was like a week before christmas that i got fired and um so we started on monday and it's just been uh run on voluntary donations since then. But almost all of the funding was through PayPal. We weren't set up with any of these other systems like Subscribestar or Zelle or Cash App or any of that stuff. It was all just through PayPal.
Starting point is 00:40:01 And then five months into it, PayPal shut us down. Venmo shut us down. No explanation. I spent two hours on the phone with a guy, and he said, well, all I can see is I just said shut this down immediately. Same thing that the filmmaker that we talked to that got debanked at Bank of America said. She talked to the people that were there and looked it up and said, well, there's no reason given. I just said shut this down immediately. So we know where this is coming from. It's coming from the CIA.
Starting point is 00:40:24 Just like all the censorship is jankowitz compared the lack of regulation of free speech the lack of regulation of speech on social media the lack of government regulation of automobiles in 1960s i kind of remember that as a period of wonderful freedom in automobiles. The halcyon days of innovation and affordable cars. People were trying all kinds of things with cars. It's what happens when you have a free market. She sees that as a problem. I think that kind of vibrant free market that we had in automobiles in the 1960s was great.
Starting point is 00:41:06 She calls for a cross-platform and public-private approach. So whatever actions are taken are taken by Google, Facebook, and Twitter simultaneously. Yeah, we're not talking about public-private. When they talk about public-private, they're talking about fascism. The economic definition of fascism is a merger of government and corporations. And that's what we're talking about. We're talking about a fascist corporatist government. Google, Facebook, and Twitter, these very companies that were created by the CIA and these other venture capital firms that had CIA and NSA and other intelligence community people setting on their board of directors of these venture capital firms,
Starting point is 00:41:47 doing this on the platform that was designed by a DARPA psychologist in the 1960s, J.C.R. Licklider. Don't tell me this isn't fascism. Don't tell me this isn't corporate fascism. That's the way the global governance is going to be run. They may not even set up some kind of a capital at least not at first it'll be a network of these global organizations like davos and bilderberg and the club of rome and all these other things where they're going to constantly go into these meetings you know the world health organization all these different organizations that are that are involved in different aspects, and the politicians and the billionaires and the corporate executives and the mass media owners who
Starting point is 00:42:33 go to all of these things all the time, as well as the people who are deeply embedded in the intelligence community. You've got David Petraeus, you've got people like Alex Garp always there, Bilderberg and these other places. It's fascism, folks. All this stuff about Trump, again, is another misdirection. Yeah, he's a fascist, but they don't want you to see the bigger picture
Starting point is 00:42:55 of corporate fascism that is uniparty. It involves Biden as well. Every time they talk about public private partnership, it's fascism. The now-failed Disinformation Governance Board that she briefly headed one year after she did that, Cenk Owic began working with the anti-disinformation consulting firm Althea Group that was staffed by, quote-unquote, former intelligence community analysts.
Starting point is 00:43:23 Have they resigned, really? Have they really resigned or sheep-dipped, right? Althea notably came to Zero Hedge, says Zero Hedge at one point, shopping a dossier around which was suggested that we were allegedly contributing to increased online panic amid the monumental collapse of Silicon Valley Bank. The outlets they peddled said dossier, the outlets they peddled said dossier to included Bloomberg, which elected to exclude Zero Hedge from their report following a brief email exchange.
Starting point is 00:43:59 Eventually one of their operatives dropped the dossier on Twitter only to be mocked as a propagandist. One guy tweeted out, you mean a financial news blog published a number of stories about a significant bank failure? How dare they? Yeah, they've got a lot of different things that they would like to cover up at different times. And this kind of stuff, I mean, you know, sometimes it's okay to talk about bank failures. Other times it's not. Uh, and they will decide Althea, uh, or Alithea.
Starting point is 00:44:32 Is it Alithea? It's Alithea. Alithea. I'm sorry. It's got an E in there. Well, no, it's written both ways in here. Uh, they've got it, uh, Althea and they've got Alithea. So I don't know which one it is.
Starting point is 00:44:45 Uh, anyway, um, uh, in this article, though, they misspelled it somewhere or the other. Um, so the, um, they had a lot of different analysts that were former CIA analysts, supposedly former. They're working for that company. Uh, we always see that, don't we? And then evidently it seems like the majority of times they put this in as A-L-E-T-H-E-A. So I guess it is Aletheia.
Starting point is 00:45:17 And late 2022, I should look that up. It's probably some kind of horrific pagan mythological character, you uh like uh jankowitz um in late 2022 aletheia received 10 million dollars from ballistic ventures his general partner is ted schlein ted provides counsel to the u.s intelligence community serves on the board of directors at nqtel and was recently named as a board member of SISA according to his CV. Oh, imagine that he checks all these different boxes, doesn't he? Folks,
Starting point is 00:45:55 I'm just telling you, you know, we can use the internet for our purposes. You're watching this program right now through the internet. Uh, but, um, you know, the, the, they're going to control the vast majority of it and they're going to rig it and you know there may be some
Starting point is 00:46:12 ways that um patriots can use artificial intelligence but for the most part these tools that they're creating are their tools they're using them for propaganda for surveillance for all these things that the CIA does. It's the government that is running this, and it's the CIA that's running the government. DARPA and the Department of Defense have backed an AI chip company that is seeking to raise $70 million. As again, when we look at AI, as I said said before ai is about creating dependency of humans dependent on artificial intelligence it's about creating trust so that you believe this hallucinating stuff
Starting point is 00:46:52 and again the best example of why ai can be both brilliant and unbelievably stupid and like they say hallucinating it's simply because it's going out there and creating these matrices and comparing them you know you're looking for something uh when you give it a question it doesn't see that as a question it just sees that as something that it's got to match and then it goes through its massive database for the best match that's why i think we talked about it, the blinker fluid stuff. When people say, well, my blinker, they asked Google Gemini, my blinker is not making any noises. What could be wrong?
Starting point is 00:47:33 Well, it comes up with a couple of things. We'll check the fuse that's there, check this relay, whatever, and then it comes in like option number three or four is check your blinker fluid why does it do that well because it doesn't know what it's talking about it's just going out there and seeing a lot of people who talk about turn signals and jokes about there being something called blinker fluid and so it just parrots that along with some other things that were not really that great a suggestion in terms of fixing it, but that's the way the thing works.
Starting point is 00:48:14 But what it's really about, it's about gaining trust. It's about creating dependency. It's about surveilling and controlling information and being able to lie to you and to push their narrative and their propaganda. And they want to do more of it. So DARPA and the Department of Defense are giving $70 million to an AI chip company because they want to have a faster, specialized AI chip. What they're doing with this chip is that they're putting the memory on board. This is nothing new.
Starting point is 00:48:46 I imagine that it is. That's been done for a long time. I mean, going back 40 years ago, we were doing stuff like that. But I imagine this is at a scale that you haven't seen before. Right? And they keep talking about how this company that's doing
Starting point is 00:49:02 it's called InCharge AI Inc. E-N-Charge. So, about how this company that's doing it's called in charge AI Inc en charge so they keep mentioning that this is going to reduce energy consumption they mentioned that several times in the article yeah they're using so much computing power that they've got to have their own power grid they know that the government is taking down the power grid because they're part of it and so you've got sam altman and other people are setting up their own parallel power system that's going to have nuclear uh energy we won't do that
Starting point is 00:49:37 you and i won't have access to that uh we'd be better off as amish though quite frankly but uh anyway the uh they talk about reduced energy consumption it's not really about that i don't think they put the memory on board and always have because the closer you know when you're talking about things that get really really fast then it becomes a big deal about how far the electrons have to travel. Again, you know, 40 years ago when I was involved in this, the supercomputers that they were doing, they were starting to put them in a circular configuration. And they paid an amazing amount of attention to anywhere that they had to have any kind of wiring.
Starting point is 00:50:21 They had to keep that at a minimum. So they brought it into kind of a cylinder type of shape and with an open like a slice was taken out of it you look at the old supercomputers from 70s and that was simply to keep everything closer well you know put it on a put all of it on the chip that's even better it's really about speed and uh that's really what they're doing but it's also the real intention is about surveillance and data mining that is really what's going on with all this stuff when you look at ai it's about lies and propaganda it's about creating dependency it's about surveillance it's about data mining
Starting point is 00:50:59 all this other stuff about you know pictures and and movies and music and all this other kind of stuff. Yeah, they'll use that to entertain you. But the whole thing is a trap. The startup has already started deploying its chips, which are tailored not for training AI models like those of OpenAI or Anthropic, but for applications utilizing these models for predictive tasks. Predictive tasks. Geospatial intelligence has been around since the late 90s when they started creating it as they were creating social media companies. They realized that this was going to be,
Starting point is 00:51:40 that the technology had caught up and made it practical to do what they had envisioned as a psychological surveillance and control tool back in the 1960s. And so they had different things in geospatial intelligence like AI. That didn't mean artificial intelligence. It meant anticipatory intelligence, anticipating what you are going to do. Even going back to the 1970s, the big new Brzezinski talked about in his book Between Two Ages, he said, we're going to have a technocratic age. We're going to have the ability to predict what you're going to do before you even do it, because we're going to follow your
Starting point is 00:52:15 behavior and we'll know what you want better than you know what you want. And so what they're talking about here is predictive tasks, anticipatory intelligence. Going back to Minority Report, they want to make these AI computers precogs, if you want to think about it that way. Maybe we should start calling it, since we've got anticipatory intelligence, since we've got so many different AI acronyms, why don't we just call the AI precogs?
Starting point is 00:52:43 Well, we've got a wide open border. It's another way for them to declare war on us. More domestic war against America. We'll talk about that. We've actually had some strange encounters. A Navy SEAL found somebody who was a foreign national who snuck across the border, had not been encountered by border patrol. Imagine that.
Starting point is 00:53:08 People who are deliberately coming in, they can, and if they are trained, they can evade the border patrol. We've had actually two incidents of that over the weekend, and we'll talk about that when we come back. Just to remind people, if you will, please like the stream. That is one thing that helps us. We need to get reach. If we can get reach, that will help us with a contributor base as well.
Starting point is 00:53:29 And on Rumble, NMAX says, Trump's COVID response likely killed more people than most Marxist movements. I agree. And it was something of a Marxist movement itself. And we'll talk about that when we get to Trump addressing the Republican, the Libertarian Party and RFK Jr. Attacking both Trump and Biden. And when I look at that and we'll get we'll talk about that more coming up. But again, I think that is the importance of having three people in a debate. You can't just make it about, well, I'm better than that other guy.
Starting point is 00:54:02 No matter how much you hate me, I'm better than him. Right. You can't just make it about, well, I'm better than that other guy. No matter how much you hate me, I'm better than him, right? And it takes it away from all of this personal ad hominem attacks like professional wrestling. On Rumble, Owen61 writes, 85% of the wires from my brain chip have detached from my brain since implantation. Now my microwave oven seems to have a life of its own there you go well we'll just have to stick them in deeper next time uh i i don't know what's happening that first guinea pig for neural link uh his wires detached um is it just that they're not getting a good signal or is this thing free floating somewhere in his skull? And I feel sorry for him.
Starting point is 00:54:50 It's a desperation that we see with people when it comes to cancer treatment, you know, he's desperate as a quadriplegic and he's trying to do something. And so I really feel sorry for him. I look at the designs of this stuff. I don't see it as a, you know, this is, they would always put those stories out there as darpa was working on its autonomous robots and its autonomous cars and things like
Starting point is 00:55:13 that in these contests well this is so that we can shut down a nuclear power plant that gets out of control we don't have to have anybody die doing it and that type of stuff it's to help little old ladies cross the street yeah that's why they've got the killer robot-armed dogs and stuff. That's to help little old ladies cross the street. And it's like, yeah, right. I see that with the Neuralink stuff as well. And, of course, Elon Musk has made it very clear he's all about transhumanism, and that's the path.
Starting point is 00:55:38 He wants us to become cyborgs. If you don't become cyborgs, you're going to die because our artificial intelligence is going to be so smart. It's the of like war it's already kicked off the art like war on rock fan careless rex thank you for the tip i appreciate and eric and greg talent thank you very much all of you thank you for the tips on rock fan and on rock fan michelle obama thank you for the tip, and writes, rational lampooner calls them demo-democrats. Rational lampooner instead of national lampooner. We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. © BF-WATCH TV 2021 you're listening to the david knight show
Starting point is 00:57:03 well let's talk about the border and the drug war, because these two things are tied together, along with domestic gun control is now being tied in with all of that as well. And civil asset forfeiture. You won't believe what California is doing to homeowners that never had anything to do with drugs. They've come up with a way to use civil asset forfeiture to steal people's homes. You want to talk about how they get us out of our homes?
Starting point is 00:57:29 Well, that's one way. It's really heinous, especially when you consider that in California, marijuana is legal, and yet they're confiscating people's homes, saying that in the past, marijuana was being produced in some of these homes. You don't have to prove it. They just allege it, steal your home. You have to sue them to get it back. And then they push the court date out for years, five years or whatever.
Starting point is 00:57:52 Meanwhile, they start accumulating these fines. It's so insidious. You want to talk about how criminal our government is, and you want to talk about how you better pay attention to the state and local government. This is a local county that's doing this. So, again, it's where the rubber meets the road. The counties can be even worse than the states. States can be worse than the federal government.
Starting point is 00:58:15 And so, again, we don't want to get too caught up in the presidential politics. Wide open border. Mexican cartels presence in the U.S. explodes with Biden, more domestic war against America. One DEA veteran says they're taking over drug distribution from local dealers and gangs. And of course with WND, uh, they're all on the on board with the drug war and they're going to give you the DEA side of it. Uh, do they talk about how the CIA has been involved in this stuff too?
Starting point is 00:58:49 It's a known fact, folks, a known fact. Gary Webb and, you know, he was talking about how the CIA had created the crack cocaine epidemic in California. They could fund their secret wars in Central and South America. They killed the messenger with all of that. As a matter of fact, when they wanted to get, Gary Webb first wins these journalistic awards because of his reporting.
Starting point is 00:59:24 Then they got an entire team from the LA Times to destroy him, to target and destroy him with lies and other things like that. So at the heart of this deadliest drug epidemic in American history are two powerful transnational criminal organizations notorious for drug trafficking and violence. And their influence is growing dramatically under the Biden administration. A veteran DEA agent and fentanyl expert tells WND. Did he, by the way, mention when he talked about the Sinaloa cartel and the Jalisco cartel? Did he mention that the Sinaloa cartel, which is El Chapo, was working closely with HSBC? Matt Taibbi did years ago on Rolling Stone. He said, yeah, the HSBC even gave them their own window because they had so much cash they were bringing in
Starting point is 01:00:10 that they needed to cash. You're backing up the thing. So they gave them their own special window. And they did everything they could. They were convicted multiple times, HSBC. But Eric Holder, Obama's attorney general, said they were too big to jail, HSBC but Eric Holder Obama's Attorney General said they were too big to jail HSBC so they gave them teeny tiny fines in terms of the amount of business that they were doing and allowed them to stay and they gave him a
Starting point is 01:00:39 fine put him on probation and then they did it again and did it even worse and we had another whistleblower that I I I talked to at the time and, uh, uh, Everett Stern was his name. And, uh, he said, yeah, they were, uh, they said, well, we'll hire people specifically to police this and we'll look for specific terms. And what they did was they put spaces and periods inside the search term. So they wouldn't find a match. They hired people like him who had absolutely no investigatory experience, paid them a tremendous amount of money. So they were not really too interested in bucking the system, but he was. And he exposed all that stuff.
Starting point is 01:01:16 They got caught again. And rather than getting something more severe, they got something that was just as light and kept them going. But let's not talk about the bank's role in all this. Let's not talk about the CIA's role in all this. It is a big problem. The drug war itself is a big problem. And these drug cartels that have been created by the drug war,
Starting point is 01:01:40 just like Al Capone and so much organized crime was created by alcohol prohibition. This drug prohibition program that's been running for 50 years has had absolutely made absolutely no difference in drug consumption because drug abuse is a spiritual problem. It's not a political problem. It's not a cultural problem. It's not a law enforcement problem. It is a spiritual problem. It's not a cultural problem. It's not a law enforcement problem. It is a spiritual problem and all the law enforcement agents and all the politicians can't put Humpty Dumpty back together
Starting point is 01:02:11 again, can they? And so the other thing that we see that is characteristic of prohibition, we saw it with alcohol prohibition, is that the form of whatever it is that you're trying to prohibit, whether it is drugs or whether it's alcohol, becomes far more dangerous and concentrated. You also have a corruption of court systems, of law enforcement, of politicians. All of these things happen. But what it doesn't do is it doesn't stop the thing that they're trying to stop.
Starting point is 01:02:44 The Sinaloa cartel is one of Mexico's oldest criminal organizations, one of the most violent and prolific poly-drug trafficking cartels in the world. And yet, when California legalized and states started legalizing marijuana, it sent a shock through these drug cartels. Well, they start moving more into human trafficking or kidnapping or whatever else. So the problem is once you create these organized crime cartels, they don't go away even if you take away the original stuff that brought them into existence. And so now with all this crime that is happening and they've got essentially a
Starting point is 01:03:27 failed narco state in Mexico, they are executing politicians who are not in their pocket and all the rest of the stuff they're coming across the border. They're moving into local drug distribution. So guess what? You know, they're going to start killing local law enforcement, local elected officials, local people, as they start to move into our country.
Starting point is 01:03:52 And there's nothing being done about it. They have taken down all the barriers. And now what they want to do is disarm us as well. And it's the corrupt Mexican government that is cooperating with the corrupt American government to try to disarm American citizens. An amicus brief has been filed against Mexico's effort to eliminate America's gun industry. They are coming after American gun manufacturers, claiming that American gun manufacturers claiming that we are, that American gun manufacturers in America are responsible for the drug cartel violence and all the rest of this stuff.
Starting point is 01:04:35 And they're right because it's our war on drugs that created all this stuff. But it's not the gun manufacturers that are the problem. It's the CIA. It's the Republicans. It's the Democrats who've been running this insane thing for the longest time. Never bothered to ever pass a constitutional amendment like they did with alcohol prohibition. The 18th amendment never bothered with that. They don't care what the constitution says.
Starting point is 01:04:56 They can get away with it. And now they want to turn the USA into a failed narco state like Mexico. Part of that means that you disarm the population. We've had situations in Mexico where you had local political activists come together and start to arm the local citizens to defend against these cartels. And it wasn't the drug cartel people that took him out.
Starting point is 01:05:19 It was the Mexican government itself that came in and arrested them and disarmed them because that is controlled by these cartels. was the Mexican government itself that came in and arrested them and disarmed them. Because that is controlled by these cartels. They would not allow self-defense. It reminded me very much, and I said at the time, it reminded me of the Magnificent Seven. You know, you had these Mexican people coming together to arm themselves. And I think the guy who was running it actually he he actually came into america he bought guns to uh to um help them to arm themselves but you know just like in the
Starting point is 01:05:51 magnificent seven you have these mexican villagers who are being put upon uh by the organized criminals of the day the ben the bandit gangs and then also by the federales. So they are being shot at, kicked around, robbed, fleeced, beaten by both the federal government in Mexico as well as these private, you know, they call them cartels now. They didn't call it a cartel then. And so, you know, they come to America. They want the magnificence the magnificent seven they get some gun slingers and they don't want the gun slingers just to take on the mexican bandits by themselves
Starting point is 01:06:32 the big uh gangs they said teach us how to fight you know show us how to shoot and so the whole town was there shooting they had the you know seven gunfighters that were there the american gunfighters that were training was based on umfighters that were training. It was based on Seven Samurai by Kurosawa, who was a Japanese film. But a great American adaptation of it and an example of what is really needed and what they will not allow. Just recently, as we saw, maybe about five, six years ago. The Second Amendment Foundation filed an amicus brief with the Supreme court on Friday and the long running war by Mexico against America's gun makers. They want to shut them down and bankrupt them just like the Democrats do saying, you know,
Starting point is 01:07:17 when you make guns, you're killing people. Do they do that with a Tesla and their self-driving cars? They do that with Tesla and their self-driving cars? They do that with ordinary cars. And of course, we've seen Ford Bronco used to run people down and the Christmas parade in Waukesha. No, no, no. This is unique. And actually, they knew this was coming. They knew this was going to be a strategy.
Starting point is 01:07:37 They passed a law that prohibits this. And guess what? The Democrats don't care. The courts don't care. The courts don't care. They're just going to ignore that law that was there because they ignore the Constitution, right? Why wouldn't they ignore a newer law by Congress? An earlier brief that was filed by 20 states' attorneys general focused on the protection provided by Congress when it passed the Protection of Lawful Commerce and Arms Act, the PLCAA, in 2005.
Starting point is 01:08:08 To stop all this, the present brief focuses on the real intentions of Mexico working with anti-gun states and politicians. What they really want to do is the destruction through legal fees of the entire gun industry altogether. We were just talking over the weekend about how expensive ammunition has become. Two to three times the price. I mean, even if you try to go back
Starting point is 01:08:32 and do some kind of a workaround with a super glue thing, you know, and get a primer, you know, that's even more than a real round used to cost. You know, it's amazing. But now they want to make the guns um illegal as well and you know what is really underscoring all of this this is a un agenda the un arms trade treaty and um that was something that we were working on as a family we're doing videos back in 2012 the union was trying to push it through.
Starting point is 01:09:05 It was after fast and furious had blown up. It had a federal agent get killed, but they'd been running these guns across the border as a false flag incident. Going back to George W. Bush. He called it the gun Walker program. Uh, Obama administration called it fast and furious, but it was the same people doing it and it was the same thing and it was the same purpose.
Starting point is 01:09:28 The UN armed trades treaty says we're going to stop the transfer and trafficking of small arms, pistols, rifles, things like that. And, um, and so in order to do that, we have to track and trace and tag and identify each and every firearm and even ammunition. That's what's behind all this. All the stuff that they're doing with the gunwalker program and Fast and Furious and all of that is because they want to do complete gun control and surveillance in the United States. And that's what this whole stink from Mexico is really about. It's really about the UN Arms Trade Treaty. Twelve years ago, as they were bringing that around,
Starting point is 01:10:16 this Fast and Furious thing had caused so much damage to them that they needed to pull it back. Interestingly, just one week before the vote in New York for the UN Arms Trade Treaty, they had the Aurora, Colorado shooting. One of the most obvious PSYOP shootings I've ever seen in my life. Just one week before the UN Arms Trade Treaty to try to recapture the narrative and to try to undo the damage that had been done with their fast and furious program.
Starting point is 01:10:47 The original lawsuit against Smith and Wesson, it was filed in 2021 targeted key American gun makers, including Barrett, Beretta, Glock, Sturm, Ruger, Century International Arms and Colts manufacturing company.
Starting point is 01:11:04 They want to go after all of them. All of them. The lawsuit claimed that they, quote, design, market, distribute, and sell guns in ways that they know routinely arm the drug cartels in Mexico. Look, if you've got a problem with Americans and your failed narco state, come after the CIA. Come after the DEA come after the Republican and Democrat politicians who created and run and this this war on drugs that's what created the war on drugs created your failed narco state not pistols you had pistols and rifles a long time before you had a narco state the narco
Starting point is 01:11:41 state is a creature of the government run the intelligence community's war on drugs that's what it's a fixture of uh so the liberal first circuit court in boston i guess they get to pick where they want it if it's a mexican government right and why would you why if you you know why wouldn't you have something that's geographically closer to Mexico? Well, they go all the way up to Boston. Nine of the 11 current judges there were appointed by either Clinton, Obama, or Biden. So that liberal circuit court, the first one in Boston, reversed the lower court's decision in January. Because the lower court tossed it out.
Starting point is 01:12:26 And the First Circuit Court of Appeals brings it back in. We've got to get rid of judicial supremacy. These judges in the First Circuit Court are not above the Constitution. They're not above Congress. They're not above state laws, as I've said for the longest time. Eventually, they came around to what I always said should have been done with Roe v. Wade. Throw it out.
Starting point is 01:12:48 Ignore it. It's a violation of the 10th Amendment. Any powers not expressly given to the federal government are reserved by the states and by the people. And there was nothing in the Constitution that gave the Supreme Court authority to determine anything about abortion or to prosecute murder or to define what marriage is and all these other things that they've gotten into. And so finally, with the Dobbs decision, they said, well, yes, the 10th Amendment says it belongs to the state. If the Texas governor would have said that after Roe v. Wade, we could have saved maybe 63 million babies from being killed. Anyway, so they reversed, the First Circuit Court reversed it,
Starting point is 01:13:39 even though they admitted that the PLCAA, let me just tell you what that means again. That's the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act. They said the PLCAA protected the industry from such frivolous lawsuits. Quote, PLCAA's limitations on the types of lawsuits that may be maintained in the United States applies to lawsuits initiated by foreign governments like Mexico and for harm suffered outside the United States. And as the New American points out, that should have ended it right there.
Starting point is 01:14:17 That ended it for the lower court. But no, they then go on to say, We, however, reversed the district court's holding that the PLCAA bars Mexico's common law claims. We remand, in other words, they return the lower to the lower court for further proceedings. And how do they do that? Well, they claim that the defendants, quote, aided and abetted that the defendants all these gun companies right you know smith and wesson remington ruger glock all them aided and abetted the knowingly unlawful downstream trafficking of their guns in new mexico well it's an absolute
Starting point is 01:15:01 line we know exactly what they're after and what they've been doing. Republicans and Democrats did Gun Walker and Fast and Furious, and they did it. You had Bush and you had Obama operating in the service of the United Nations to disarm Americans. That's what this is about. It's about the Uniparty wanting to disarm Americans. Now being joined by a failed narco state, Mexico, to disarm America. American gun manufacturers are not to blame for the increased violence in Mexico, reports the New American. Well, of course, we know that it is the drug war.
Starting point is 01:15:36 But even beyond that, they said the president there declared war on the cartels days after his inauguration in December of 2006. He deployed 30,000 Mexican troops across the country to end the drug trade. Wow, that's almost as much as Steve Pachinik claimed was happening with he said, we've got 20,000 National Guard troops across the country. I said, this is ridiculous. You can't do that. And people wouldn't know it. Come on.
Starting point is 01:16:07 You know, not to mention all this stuff about blockchain, watermark ballots and everything. That's what got me fired was opposing those lies from Steve pretending just amazing that the people would believe that. And even more amazing that, uh, Alex would be such a bowl face, ball face liar. Anyway, the cartels responded with a counteroffensive against American soldiers. Calderon's late 2006 declaration of war on the cartels
Starting point is 01:16:32 reversed the declining homicide trend in Mexico. In other words, here's the deal, right? They've got a declining homicide rate. But then they turned the drug war into an actual war. Calderon calls up the military, and they got 30,000 troops out there fighting them, and they're shooting back and forth, and now you got the homicide rate goes up. We got cases here. We got cases, a gunshot death. We're going to have to ban your gun, lock it down. We're going to have to shut down the companies that make the guns. How about addressing the drug side of all this stuff?
Starting point is 01:17:08 And this failed notion of a drug war that we can end all this stuff by force. It's just the dumbest thing I've ever seen in my life with all kinds of bad consequences. The drug war is again, I don't support any drug use i don't use any drugs i've never wanted to um uh you know i had plenty of opportunity to in college and bands and all everybody else was using the stuff i didn't want to use it and uh if it said that to my friends in engineering i said well you know i never. Well, it was probably because they all thought you were a narc. So, yeah, probably did. But undercover band, a narcotics agent from 2007 to 2008 homicides related to the drug war more than doubled.
Starting point is 01:18:01 Mexico's total homicide rate rose 57%. Is because of smith and wesson no it was because carl duran decided that he was going to go to literal war against the cartels the increase continued for years with drug war homicides increasing by another 41 between 2008 and 2009 and notice i was talking about this stuff that the UN Arms Trade Treaty. Oh yeah, we're going to stop all the arms traffic and everything. No, that was never the problem. Gun violence in Mexico decreased in the three years after the U.S. assault weapons ban expired. And it didn't increase until the Mexican government began its war with the cartels. So, we know exactly what is going on here uh so uh as they're rolling all this stuff out as we talk about artificial
Starting point is 01:18:53 intelligence i'll get to the uh the um civil asset forfeiture thing here next but i just want to say you know last week as i talked about visa and the fact that going all biometric, one card to rule them all. And, you know, we don't want you having to remember passwords and passwords can be faked or stolen or whatever. We're going to recognize you by your face. You're going to pay with a smile or maybe a frown. I guess you pay with a smile. And then when the bill comes is when the frown is, I guess you pay with a smile and, um, then when the bill comes is when the frown is, I guess. Um, you realize how much you put on your credit card in the last month.
Starting point is 01:19:30 And that's a woman branded a shoplifter by facial recognition software. Yeah. Biometric software and AI BBC says, uh, Sarah needed some chocolate. She'd had one of those days. So she wandered into a home bargains store. Within less than a minute, I'm approached by a store worker who comes up to me and says, you're a thief. You need to leave the store.
Starting point is 01:19:52 Sarah, who wants to remain anonymous, was wrongly accused after being flagged by a facial recognition system called FaceWatch. Will FaceWatch put your stuff in Facebook? Do you think maybe they're going through Facebook and looking at your pictures and creating Face watch. Will face watch put your stuff in Facebook? Do you think maybe they're going through Facebook and looking at your pictures and creating biometric database now? Oh, government would never do anything like that, would they? There's laws against stuff like that, right? They would never do any of that stuff like Facebook.
Starting point is 01:20:27 She says after her bag was searched, she was let out of the shop and told that she was banned from all stores using the technology. I was just crying and crying the entire journey home. I thought, will my life be the same? I'm going to be looked at as a shoplifter when I've never stolen. Uh, so she later, um, conch, she, she went to into a fight with this face watch, and they eventually acknowledged that they'd made an error. Well, good luck. I imagine it's probably going to happen to her again. You see, we keep getting these bills from the Texas tolls, even though we haven't lived there for two years.
Starting point is 01:21:00 Just got another one. And you spend a tremendous amount of time on the phone trying to get through to these people. It's run by a private organization that the state has turned this over to. And they'll go through and say, look, no, I'm not. I wasn't there. Prove it. I want to see the picture. Okay, well, we'll check on this.
Starting point is 01:21:23 I don't want to see the picture now. So, you know, come back after a while. Nevermind. We looked at it's wrong. They've got license plate readers. They have face pictures that they take and all the rest of this stuff. And they keep writing us this because they figure that, um, you know, you'll just go ahead and pay, cause it's just a couple of dollars and you don't want
Starting point is 01:21:42 to spend a half hour on the phone with some little uh you know some person from india or something to try to work this thing out so i figured you just pay because if you don't they keep escalating the fines and it gets really big and i don't think they've got any way to uh uh to collect on it outside of texas but i don want to, we don't want to find out. And that's one of the, what's one of the good things about Tennessee. Tennessee was one of only 14 States that didn't have tolls. These tolls are typically run by foreign countries. You want to talk about a public private partnership. You want to talk about corporatism and fascism and all the rest of this stuff. It's embodied in all of that. And, uh, but
Starting point is 01:22:21 unfortunately we've got a Republican governor, governor bill lee who decided that he liked toll roads he probably likes the money that's going to be given to him by some of these foreign corporations he called them choice lanes choice lanes yeah you can choose not to go on them or you know maybe i could choose not to vote for you bill lee anyway it's just not retailers who are turning to the technology. Cameras are attached to rooftops. They capture thousands of images of people's faces.
Starting point is 01:22:50 They've matched people that are on a police watch list. Or if they think they've got a match, you know, we're talking about AI here, officers would speak to them and potentially arrest them. And this is what this is really about. You know, when you look at the amount of money, the amount of data that's being collected on each and every one of us, they
Starting point is 01:23:08 don't have enough people to go through and mine and collate all this data. That's what they need artificial intelligence for. Civil liberties groups, however, are worried about the accuracy. Well, given the totalitarian direction of all of our governments, I'm worried about the accuracy well given the totalitarian direction of all of our governments i'm worried about the accuracy having accuracy may not be a good thing because they don't have good motivations well this was sent to me by natasha uh california's cannabis cash grab this is on the daily mail uh this is one of the most outrageous civil asset forfeiture stories I've seen. And I've been covering this for a long time. Uh, that was kind of one of my first exposures to the failure of the war on drugs and how criminal our government
Starting point is 01:23:56 had become in terms of its application. We look at civil asset forfeiture. The first cases, uh, remember there was a guy, uh, Donald, name was donald scott he was in california they wanted his land he didn't want to sell the land he fought them he had a lot of money and he fought them on uh the eminent domain stuff and everything so what they did was they thought we'll just get it on the cheap we'll just confiscate it we don't have to pay them we don't have to do this uh court stuff so they did a flyover and they found in this rural area they they said, well, there's some marijuana growing there.
Starting point is 01:24:26 I don't know if it was growing naturally or if somebody was using that, you know, acreage that he wasn't paying any attention to if they were actually growing it. So they did a drug raid when he's no knock drug raids and, um, just kick in the door and middle line. He thought they were house invasion.
Starting point is 01:24:44 It comes down the stairs to a gun in his hand. They shot him dead. And then they took the land. Another one was a guy who, and I've mentioned this before, had private planes. He had a charter service, essentially running a taxi service. He has two guys in suits show up with attache cases. Or attache cases. And he flew them from the U.S. to Canada
Starting point is 01:25:08 for a business meeting. He waited for them. They came out of their business meeting. He flew them back. When he comes back to the United States and lands, they've got DEA agents surrounding his plane, guns pointed. They arrest these two guys,
Starting point is 01:25:20 and they say, well, we're taking your plane. He goes, I didn't know anything about this. They go, yeah, we know you didn't know anything about it, but your plane is involved in the crime. We're charging your plane with a crime. U.S. government versus Learjet serial number, blah, blah, blah. If you want to do something about it, you can sue us in court. Civil suit.
Starting point is 01:25:41 There's no presumption of innocence. You'll have to prove that you were innocent. And you'll have to sue us. And he did. He got his plane back after two or three years, but he was bankrupt by then because that was his only plane in his business. So none of these property owners were growing cannabis.
Starting point is 01:26:01 There's no accusation that they were. Here's a story from Daily Mail. Retired couple Corrine and Doug Thomas thought that they had found their forever home when they bought a rustic property that was nestled in the middle of a redwood forest in Humboldt County, California. It put an end to their three-year stint of living in a motor home, forced on them after their previous home in LA was destroyed by the Woolsey fire of 2018. Instead, they had simply opened the next chapter in an ongoing nightmare. Submitted for your approval. You are in the government zone. Less than a week after moving in, Corrine, 70,
Starting point is 01:26:41 and Doug, 74, who are both disabled and on fixed incomes, were slapped with fines that eventually grew to more than a million dollars because the previous owners had used the property for illegal cannabis growth, says the county. They don't have to prove that. Astonishingly, they're among dozens of unwitting homeowners that have been targeted by Humboldt County, whose officials have been accused in a class action lawsuit of trying to squeeze every dollar it can out of legalized marijuana at the expense of innocent people.
Starting point is 01:27:16 And so they're a fine of more than $7 million because of an illegal cannabis growth operated by the previous owners. You look at these people, their houses are not expensive houses. They're elderly. They don't have any money. Blue Graham, 51, fines around $900,000 after Humboldt County accused him of using a greenhouse to grow cannabis without a permit. He was actually using it to grow greenhouse vegetables or something like that. You might not have even gotten a grow light, but they would hang around.
Starting point is 01:28:15 They'd watch the people who come in, and they would follow them home. Then they would go through their trash cans outside and all the rest of this stuff and try to surveil them or raid them or something. Oh, you gotta be growing cannabis secretly. Similarly, a chicken farmer was prosecuted by the county for growing cannabis in a greenhouse, which he was in fact, rearing chickens. The extraordinary claims are laid bare in a lawsuit that's been filed by the Institute for justice.
Starting point is 01:28:42 And yet we focus on the presidential race. Don't we? Oh, gee, I hope that Trump gets in instead of Biden or vice versa. Yeah, right. That'll help a lot with this stuff on it. No, it's obvious that we aren't involved with cannabis. Doug said, we don't even drink alcohol. We're just old senior citizens. The County knows it, but they're still coming after us. They are at war with the community.
Starting point is 01:29:13 That's why I began this. The government is at war with you. Your own government. They want to take your car. They want to take your gas range, your gas heater. They want to shut down the power grid. They want to take your meat. They want to take your milk.
Starting point is 01:29:34 They want to take your life. They are at war with you. The county position is that the current occupants are somehow responsible for any past violations of their property. Because, you see, they take a very interesting view of property crime. Property crime, we look at property crime. We think, well, property crime is when somebody destroys my property or steals my property or something like that. No, these people who are running the war on drugs, think of property crime as crime committed by property. They charge the plane or they charge the home or they charge the stack of
Starting point is 01:30:16 cash with a crime. And you have to ask yourself, what are these DEA agents and law enforcement agents smoking? You come up with something that is a, an indictment against an inanimate object? What are you smoking? Well, I think they're drunk on power. I think they're drunk and corrupt on power. I think they'll do anything for money.
Starting point is 01:30:41 Where have we seen that before in the last four years? The corruption that is so rampant in our country, do we care about this? Where is this coming? As I said before, you know, the politics and the corruption, all this stuff is downstream from the politics, downstream from the culture, downstream from the spiritual war. If you remove the spiritual foundations, if you remove the idea that people are accountable to God, you know, even people like Richard Dawkins, as I showed on Friday, understand that, you know, they understand that they like all the, you know, they'd like to live in a society where people know they're going to be held
Starting point is 01:31:25 accountable to God, but they don't want that. You know, we want the apples, but we don't want the orchard, right? Shut that, cut that down. Richard Dawkins now sees it. He didn't see it 15 years ago when Christopher Hitchens was starting to see it before he died. Anyway, going back to these people, he and his wife, who run a nonprofit called Miracle Run Foundation for Autism, used insurance money for the 2018 fire that took their home at that point in time in L.A.
Starting point is 01:31:56 They used that insurance money to buy their new home in Humboldt, which sits on top of a ridge above the Avenue of the Giants. Behind their home, there's a detached garage alongside a three-story building that the listing refers to as a workshop. Matter of fact, we've been out there, and it's just a beautiful area. It's just amazing. Those redwoods and all the rest of it.
Starting point is 01:32:18 Truly is amazing. But, you know, the bureaucrats want it. And all this stuff is bureaucratic fiction this theft congress does nothing the war on drugs is a federal thing uh jeff sessions a partner in crime with these local law enforcement people you steal this stuff i don't have any authority for the drug war he tacitly admits there's no i've got no authority for that but if you steal property from people, even in California, where the marijuana has been legalized and they, and you've got a sheriff's office in San Bernardino County held up armored cars three different times and got lots of money from each of those. Well, two of those times,
Starting point is 01:32:59 third time they're ready for them. Uh, they caught them red handed, but, uh, you know, they keep doing that. They're criminals, highway robbers, and it's being incentivized by the federal government. They have no authority. They know it. The Republicans know it. The Democrats know it. Sessions knows it. Mayor Garland knows it. All of these guys know they have no authority for a drug war. Instead, what they do is, like organized crime, they incentivize corrupt police departments, like the sheriff's department in San Bernardino,
Starting point is 01:33:31 to steal the money, and they say, we'll take 20% and give you 80% back. And we'll kind of give you legal cover on all this stuff. So behind the home, there's a detached garage alongside a three-story building that the listing referred to as a workshop. When the couple purchased the property, the workshop was empty and the electrical wiring inside had all been cut. It is in this ramshackle barn that the county says was used to illegally grow cannabis two years earlier. Oh, really? Prove it.
Starting point is 01:34:05 Take it to court. Charge it. Take it to court. Charge them. Take it to court. No, we're not going to do that. The Thomases were told that if they didn't demolish the building within 10 days, they would face fines of $12,000 per day. But they didn't have the $180,000 they were told it would cost to destroy the barn. They're now facing $1,080,000 in fines that have accumulated. The couple are one of more
Starting point is 01:34:28 than 1,200 Humboldt property owners charged with cannabis-related code violations since it was legalized for personal use in 2018. I wonder how many people live in Humboldt County. That's 1,200 homes, and all the people that live in those homes are going to be more than one person in many of those homes. Is this how they get to the point where we own nothing? They come around and they use, you know, well, we think there was a crime committed in that home once upon a time. So we're just going to take it. What? Oh, you didn't commit the crime.
Starting point is 01:35:00 That's fine. But we're just going to take the home. 1,200 people in that one county. Hundreds of millions of dollars in fines. At least 48 of these landowners have appealed their penalties, but many more who have been unfairly targeted have chosen to settle. See? You don't stand up for your rights.
Starting point is 01:35:20 You lose them. This is because the county makes accused landowners wait indefinitely for a hearing while fines continue to accumulate the lawsuit claims by the way you know when you look at what happened in la uh with with john mcarthur's church uh once they started fighting the um um the lockdown restrictions and things like that that really happened when they said now you can't sing okay you can come in limited numbers now you can't sing. Okay. You can come in limited numbers and you can set six feet apart, which we know there was no basis for any of that stuff. And you can wear masks, but still, if you do all of that, you still can't sing. They said, we're done. Then they started hitting them with fines and the fines started accumulating and started compounding with interest and all the rest of the stuff. You know, it was over, it was like a million dollars that they'd accumulated for mask fines uh but you know they hung in there and they eventually won and got the money back but i
Starting point is 01:36:11 understand how intimidating that is blue graham for instance asked for an appeal in 2018 the county only agreed to finally schedule his hearing four and a half years later when he was preparing to file the lawsuit. Satellite images are used to show harmless things like greenhouses on a property, which are then deemed to be sufficient evidence to accuse a landowner of growing marijuana illegally. So you can have AI identify your face and say you're a thief, or you can have AI and satellite images looking for greenhouses and say, you're a, you know, you're growing drugs there. The entire system is designed to generate money for the
Starting point is 01:36:51 county as efficiently as possible by forcing accused residents to pay the county, even when they have done nothing wrong. That's a hallmark of civil asset forfeiture. Yet the strategy appears to be doing very little to tackle the real illicit weed market which has flourished even in the wake of legalization why is that because the taxes are so high you know people are still the taxes are so high on tobacco that you have a flourishing market and uh and cigarettes that uh people didn't pay the taxes to New York on. And you got people like John Boehner, who was, as he said when he was Speaker of the House,
Starting point is 01:37:32 a Republican Speaker of the House, he said, I am unalterably opposed to marijuana. And then he gets out and he goes to work, becomes a partner in a company that was selling marijuana products. And now he can't say enough good stuff about it. And he just did a joint fundraiser with, that's no pun intended, with Machiavelli and Mike Johnson. I wonder if they were smoking, if they thought that anybody's going to give them money. Of course, you get paid back. You got a great return on investment if you buy an interest in Machiavelli and Mike Johnson.
Starting point is 01:38:11 Just like with John Boehner, legislators had hoped that the creation of a commercial market in 2021 would generate $5.3 billion in taxed sales. That's enough of an incentive for people to set up a black market and marijuana, even when the marijuana is legal. The taxes are so high. The plaintiffs in the Humboldt case, you would think that this would be a slam dunk win for people, wouldn't you? It's so unjust. Nevertheless, they had a setback in May of last year when a federal judge sided with the county and granted its motion to dismiss the lawsuit. Our individual rights aren't justice.
Starting point is 01:38:54 Nothing is safe from these activist courts. Not your kids, not your parental rights. Nothing is safe from these people. These judges are like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get. Of course, sometimes you do. Sometimes the ingredients are there on the lid, appointed by Obama, Biden, Bill Clinton, and you kind of know what you're going to get in the First Circuit Court, but they can
Starting point is 01:39:19 steal everything from you. They can steal firearms. They can steal your property under the flimsiest of excuses imagine a court that would side with the county and against these people on what basis that that's one the most astounding criminal things the judge would sign on to this too. If the Institute for Justice lodged, rather the Institute for Justice did lodge an appeal, which has recently been heard by the Ninth District Court of Appeals, also not a court that is sympathetic to our rights. A decision is pending.
Starting point is 01:39:59 Livelihoods rest on its outcome. We lost our home of 35 years in the wildfires, Doug said. And if we lose this, we will lose everything. You will own nothing. And he'll be happier. Won't he be happier when they take everything from him? We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. ¶¶ © BF-WATCH TV 2021 liberty it's your move and now the david knight show
Starting point is 01:41:59 all right welcome back i want to talk a little bit about what happened at the LP convention with Trump and with RFK Jr. And about the futility of presidential politics, about the necessity of having more than two candidates, if you're going to actually talk about any issues, and how even third-party candidates and parties have been seduced by fame and fortune in many different ways. I mean, there's a lot of things to see here. It was pretty entertaining, actually, to look at it. Before we do, real quickly, I've got on Rumble, Joe Baker. Thank you very much for the tip. Says, 34-year-old anchor baby here have been listening to you since Jakari Jackson days.
Starting point is 01:42:45 Thank you for all you do and for all your family does. Well, thank you very much. I appreciate that. I wonder, we were just talking about Jakari yesterday. I wonder where he is. Jakari, if you're out there, send me a message. I'd like to connect up with you. Great guy.
Starting point is 01:43:00 I really like Jakari. A real honest guy and uh yeah so he didn't last um uh he's a little bit too honest about his convictions there uh anyway let's talk about what happened with the lp kennedy blasts biden and of um, it's kind of interesting to see that our, our curated media, you know, they, they've decided, uh, they look at the situations like, well, I'm going to be, I'm going to support Biden. That's the market, the demographics that I want. And so I'm going to put stuff out there to support Biden, or I'm going to put stuff out
Starting point is 01:43:40 there to support Trump. And for the most part, it part, it's been that way. Occasionally you see an isolated article like this one that was on Saturday from the AP. Kennedy blasts Biden and Trump over pandemic measures and his pitch at the Libertarian Convention accused Biden and Trump of trampling on personal liberties. Well, of course they did. And finally, somebody said it. All the Republican candidates were too afraid to say it, or maybe they didn't care. Ditto for all the Democrat candidates.
Starting point is 01:44:19 They didn't care or too afraid to attack Biden on that issue. And that's why it's important to have some third-party candidates out there. He said, maybe a brain worm ate that part of my memory, but I don't recall any part of the U.S. Constitution where there's an exemption for pandemics. He said, neither of them, not Biden, not Trump, upheld the Constitution when it really counted. And, you know, the interesting thing is they they maybe the libertarians have learned their lesson or something but you know during i remember in 2020 i was so disappointed that neither did the lp you had joe jorgensen who was running for president with a libertarian party i knew joe and um uh instead of pushing back against the lockdowns and the masks and all the rest of this stuff, she was out there supporting BLM riots.
Starting point is 01:45:13 What? What in the world? I mean, that's, as far as I'm concerned, the BLM riots were not expressions of free speech. They were not mostly peaceful protests. I did not understand why she would support that and why the Libertarian Party in an election year would be completely silent about the most egregious violation of our Bill of Rights ever, ever. And yes, she was. The only Libertarian that I saw, and I tried to get him on the show, but he didn't want to come on. I think he was
Starting point is 01:45:43 afraid that he's going to get elected, was rainwater running for governor in indiana i've since had him on the show but you know he he immediately jumped up to like 15 or 20 percent i forget the exact number in the bowl because he actively came out opposing all of these measures and immediately he shot up like 15 or 20%. People were starving for somebody to talk about this. That was in politics. I was talking about it, but they were looking for somebody that was going to run for political office somewhere that was going to oppose this medical martial law.
Starting point is 01:46:18 And so he shot up and I said, come on in. No, I don't want to talk anymore. I don't know. You know, it's like, okay like okay all right now i've been there i know these you know you run because you want to get the information out there but you really don't want to be in government i understand kennedy talked publicly about pursuing the nomination as a way to secure ballot access which sparked a controversy in the party where some members opposed supporting a candidate who's not always in step with their limited government views and yet their limited government views
Starting point is 01:46:50 did not want to limit government in 2020 in the summer of 2020 eventually joe jorgensen came around but you know by then she had lost people's interest It really was pathetic that they wouldn't be so immediately outraged to this. Anyway, RFK Jr.'s mere presence at the convention was controversial, with some delegates attempting to bar his speech. He was not on the list of nominees from which a libertarian presidential candidate will be selected on Saturday. This was written on Friday. But, you know, there's kind of a precedent for that.
Starting point is 01:47:28 I remember in the 90s, I think it was 94, the Libertarian Party Convention was in Salt Lake City. I went to it, and Warren Hatch was there, senator from Utah. And he spoke and addressed the libertarians. And, you know, he said, look said look you know we we agree disagree on a lot of issues and we did but at the time the fda was pushing to ban all kinds of vitamins i mean they wanted to ban vitamin c if you had it in more than like something 60 milligrams or something
Starting point is 01:48:00 and so um he was on our side on that issue. He said, you know, yeah, we can agree to disagree on all these other issues, but we can work together for this type of thing. And it was fine. You know, I had no problem with that. Uh, again, we, we need to focus on the issues, not the people, not the parties. If we can come to an agreement on something, uh, that's what we should do. We should work for that particular cause. You know, Ron Wyden, I disagree with him on everything except for his pushback against this dragnet surveillance being done by the NSA and the CIA. Now, listening to Mr. and Mrs. Verizon and that type of stuff, he's been very good on that and very consistent on that, always opposing it.
Starting point is 01:48:42 He was the one that made Clapper commit, well, he didn't make him commit. Clapper decided that he didn't want to answer truthfully, so he committed perjury, but nobody ever charged him with it. Nobody. You know, not Mike Lee, not Rand Paul, nobody. Anyway, I guess you don't want to get on the bad side of the CIA people. As Schumer said, they got so many ways that they can get at you, don't they?
Starting point is 01:49:10 Kennedy acknowledged his differences with libertarians, but he focused his pitch on the view that Trump and Biden, administrators, overstepped during the pandemic. Trump, he said, was wrong to close businesses and shield companies from liability and developing products to respond to the pandemic. And Biden violated America's fundamental freedoms with his support for vaccine mandates, Kennedy said. The mandates, which aimed to require inoculations for as many as 100 million workers, were partially blocked in the courts and in Congress. And most of the rest ended in 2023 with the Biden administration
Starting point is 01:49:45 touting them as tremendously beneficial. No, even if they had worked, which they didn't. Kennedy also took aim at social media companies. He said, who bowed to government pressure to block dissenting views on the origins of COVID-19 and the safety of vaccines.
Starting point is 01:50:03 And yet Kennedy wanted to jail people that disagreed with him on climate change. He never publicly repented of that. Instead, what he did was he doubled down on a lie. I wasn't talking about the Koch brothers. I was talking about their companies. No, you said to put them in jail. You said to give them three hots and a cot. You don't do that to companies. No, you said to put them in jail. You said to give them three hots and a cot. You don't do that to companies. You could give, as he pointed out, you give a corporation a corporate
Starting point is 01:50:31 death penalty, but that's not putting them in jail. Democrats and Republican administrations have taken turns assaulting our constitutional rights and freedoms. And see, that's right. Like I said, I wouldn't vote for Kennedy because he's been dishonest about his position on free speech. And because I disagree with him about his manic and idiotic obsession with climate change. However, if we had him in a debate, he would say this kind of stuff. And he was 100% right about both Trump and Biden.
Starting point is 01:51:03 About closing businesses businesses shielding companies from liability putting out mandates and all the rest of stuff it was absolutely criminal what trump and biden did rfk jr appeared his pledge to pardon wiki leaks founder julian assange who is fighting extradition from the uk on u.s espionage charges by the way trump did not repeat that trump was pushed to free Ross Ulbrich, which I would love to see. I've interviewed Ross's mother many times, Lynn. Sweet mother, her heart's been broken by her young son, who has been given no possibility of ever getting out on parole because he ran a website
Starting point is 01:51:47 because they needed to make an example of people using cryptocurrency and running websites on the dark web there was nothing any more dark about that part of the web than there is the rest of the web right you can get kiddie porn or anything else that you want on the actual web. The thing about the dark web is not darker and more evil than the other web. It's just that it was harder for the government to see it. It was dark to them, hidden from them. A better way to describe it would be the hidden web, hidden from the government. They had to make an example out of Ross Ulbrich. And it's absolutely shameful what they did. The way that this judge who sentenced him came up with excuse for having
Starting point is 01:52:34 consecutive life terms and then plus 40 years, make sure he could never get parole. The lying justification that she had was a murder for hire situation. And there was no murder for hire situation, according to Lynn and according to Ross and this, and the simple fact that to show you, I believe them. I don't believe the judge because when the judge brought that in,
Starting point is 01:53:00 Ross had not been convicted of that crime. He had not even been charged by a grand jury. You had these allegations were made by our corrupt FBI. And they had a prosecutor who held press conferences and made these allegations. But he never indicted Ross and never tried him. And he wasn't found guilty because he never had a trial. Wasn't even indicted. And, of course, you he wasn't found guilty because he never had a trial. Wasn't even indicted. And, of course, you can indict anybody with a grand jury, right?
Starting point is 01:53:29 You can indict a ham sandwich because there's no opposition to it. He decided not to do that, but the judge gave him this enhanced sentencing and justified it based on the fact that he had done murder for hire, which he was never even indicted for, let alone found guilty. Vaccines have been proven to be safe and effective, says the AP. So they talk about the fact that RFK Jr. criticized their vaccine policy, their lockdown policy, their medical martial law. And listen, this is a reminder from Associated Press
Starting point is 01:54:02 that they are Associated Press that they are associated propaganda, that they are bought and sold liars of big pharmaceutical companies and the government agenda. Listen to these two paragraphs that they have to put in at the end of the article after they unfortunately have to report what RFK Jr. said about these killer shots. Vaccines have been proven to be safe and effective in lab testing and in real world use and hundreds of millions of people over the decades. Over decades? The World Health Organization credits childhood vaccines with preventing as much as 5 million
Starting point is 01:54:36 deaths a year. Well, we have these vaccine adverse event reporting systems, but of course, the COVID vaccine is in another category all by itself, isn't it? And they say the COVID-19 vaccine has also been found to be safe and effective in testing and in real world usage. While no medical intervention is risk-free, doctors and researchers have proven that risks from disease are generally far greater than the risks from vaccines. I mentioned that to you because Jonathan J. Cooper, you are a shame.
Starting point is 01:55:10 You are a shill and a shame on your profession. You have absolutely no integrity. You are a bootlicking sycophant to this totalitarian government writing for the Associated Press. Disgusting. And it shows you just how bad these people are. But, of course, we know they want to set the terms for everything. You don't have anybody.
Starting point is 01:55:30 You will not do an article and have it refer to people as pro-life. No, they are anti-abortion rights. Everything they do is politicized propaganda, the Associated Press. The New York Sun talking about Trump as he appeared at the Libertarian Party. And independent presidential candidate R.F.K. Jr. used his speech at the Libertarian Party to attack Trump. And he shot an arrow in Mr. Trump's Achilles heel. What is his Achilles heel? Oh, yeah. Well, it's the vaccine. It's the lockdown. It's the masks. It's Achilles heel. What is his Achilles heel? Oh yeah. Well,
Starting point is 01:56:05 it's the vaccine. It's the lockdown. It's the masks. It's all this stuff. Look at this picture. Operation warp speed. They're in the background. You got Pence and all these other people.
Starting point is 01:56:14 They're wearing masks, looking very severe. There's Robert Redfield. I, I recognize his lying eyes and there's Trump not wearing a mask, but signing all of this stuff away, you know, money to do the pandemic. Um, Kennedy said that Trump had the right instincts when he came into office, but he was steamrolled by the swamp of bureaucrats that he had promised to drain.
Starting point is 01:56:41 It's not amazing. Again, you know, just like other people will cover for Trump, RFK Jr. is trying to get votes. No, Trump boasted for three years after leaving, he boasted of all this stuff. He wasn't, he didn't have the right instincts. Instincts. Yeah, he had, what Trump had is something more like basic instincts of the Sharon Stone kind. That's the only kind of instincts that Trump has. He doesn't have the right instincts. He doesn't have the right stuff.
Starting point is 01:57:12 He's got basic instincts. He wasn't doing anything. He wasn't fooled. And if he's that big a fool, then he would not only be fooled during that time when all the rest of us knew it. See, this is the thing that bothers me. All people you know rfk jr says this but of course all the manga people that he's appealing to say it i just want to say these people you knew it then you know it now you know it uh that he continued to push all this stuff why is it if he is that much dumber than you are,
Starting point is 01:57:45 why would you ever vote for him for president? I mean, come on, this guy pushed it for three years afterwards even. With the lockdowns, the mask mandates, the travel restrictions, President Trump presided over the greatest restriction on individual liberties this country has ever known, said RFK Jr. Truer words never been spoken and of course joe jorgensen the lp uh didn't care about it in 2020 when they were running i guess you know it was uh it was
Starting point is 01:58:21 goldwater's speechwriter who uh carl h who was one of the founders of the Libertarian Party. Goldwater referred to him as his Shakespeare. He was a guy whose mother had homeschooled him in the 1930s, kept on the move to keep one step ahead of the truancy officer because it was illegal. And the guy that she homeschooled, Carl Hess, became speechwriter for Barry Goldwater, and he was the one who wrote
Starting point is 01:58:47 Extremism in Defense of Liberty is No Virtue, and he said moderation in pursuit of justice, I'm sorry, extremism is no vice, right? Extremism in pursuit of individual liberty is no vice, and moderation in defense of justice is no vice right extremism and pursuit of individual liberty is no vice and moderation and in defense of justice is no virtue i don't know i guess these people for them you know what we've seen in 2020 is extremism in defense of public health is a virtue right it's a virtue we all have to to, oh, it's wonderful. I'm glad that that happened.
Starting point is 01:59:27 I'm glad that we masked everybody. Forget about the fact that masks don't work. Forget about the fact that, you know, people are going to be laughing at you for eternity. You know, I just want to go on the record that I had absolutely nothing to do with any of this stuff. I posed it from the beginning, and I want future generations to not laugh at me.
Starting point is 01:59:45 I was not a part of any of this at any point in time, and most of you were not either. I know. But, of course, you know, it's no vice to defend public health at all measures, and, of course, mandates are a virtue. That's what these people act. That's how they act.
Starting point is 02:00:04 That's really what both Trump and Biden are telling you. They're telling you that extremism in defense of public health is no vice and that mandates are a virtue. Kennedy is mounting the most formidable third-party challenge since Ross Perot, pulling on an average of 12%, says the New York Sun. And he knows how to appeal to libertarian audiences because he promised again to free Julian Assange. He says Assange should be celebrated as a hero.
Starting point is 02:00:31 And he got a standing ovation for that, along with chants of free Assange. And then in terms of the reaction to it, this is what I thought was amazing, the reactions. I'll play you some of the reactions i'll play some of the reactions here in a moment but one person said well it obviously raises a profile libertarian party uh would you be here if he wasn't here they said to the reporter and the guy says well i think we have the opportunity to show people how cool we are is that what this is about because that's
Starting point is 02:01:02 funny i mean you know when you go to these political conventions and it doesn't really matter whether you're going to a libertarian convention or a republican convention or a democrat convention, there's always going to be somebody who just dresses like a clown. Or in the case of the Libertarian Party Convention, doesn't dress at all. You know, they had a picture of frown sitting in the front row. And he had people on the side of him that were in suit and tie or ordinary dress or whatever. But they focus on that particular guy. And they always will. You know that. And that's one of the things I don't like about these things anyway. Um, but, um, when Trump comes on, he doesn't talk about Julian Assange.
Starting point is 02:01:50 Isn't that interesting? He does not promise to free Julian Assange. He promised to free Ross Ulbrich and I'm glad that he did. And I, I hope that he would, but as I pointed out on Twitter, I said, well, you know, he was there for what? 1,460 days and he didn't free Ross.
Starting point is 02:02:10 And there was a big movement at the end, a lot of letter writing campaign, people asking him to free Ross, but instead he freed the Israeli pals, the white collar criminals, the spies of Jared Kushner and family. That's who he freed. People who would pay him.
Starting point is 02:02:29 John Kiriakou, you know, hears, oh, I hear that Rudy Giuliani is doing pardons. And so he meets with Rudy Giuliani and two of his thug henchmen. And the pardon, he says, so what about this pardon thing? Oh, I've got to go to the bathroom, says Rudy. He gets up and goes. And the other two guys say to him, it'll cost you a million dollars. They're selling pardons. Come on.
Starting point is 02:02:50 Yeah, Trump could have pardoned Assange. He could have pardoned Ross Ulbrich. He could have pardoned Marty Gottesfeld. He could have pardoned Schaefer Cox. A lot of political prisoners that we have, dissenters that could have been pardoned by Trump, but he focused on some of the biggest white-collar criminals and spies because they were friends of Jared.
Starting point is 02:03:14 And so then they said, not even a promise to free Silk Road founder Ross Ulbrich is enough to shield Trump from the jeers of libertarians. Here he is at the convention i thought it was interesting that the drudge report gave so much press to this and when that was happening this was at the top of the drudge report um they show that so just describe this to people listening on audio uh the uh lp has this big backdrop that looks like handwritten graffiti says ungovernable trump is standing there but then there's a silhouette in the front this particular picture silhouette
Starting point is 02:03:53 of somebody holding their arm up thumbs down so it's like a silhouette superimposed on trump and the ungovernable thing and it says booed heckled at libertarian convention the don loses control the video that maga doesn't want you to see and so i started looking around to see well is that being put up by breitbart or info wars and no none of them wanted to put that up no they didn't want you to see that so um anyway he got booze and ch of liar, which I don't know. I, I left the libertarian party a long time ago. We had a lot of disagreements, but I certainly would be there chanting that if I was there.
Starting point is 02:04:34 It dropped in dirt, booze and chance of liar and bander as he made his pitch to a packed hotel ballroom composed of libertarian convention goers and of MAGA fans, he brought some of his own people there. Many of them donning the MAGA red caps who had traveled only to hear the former president speak free Ross Ulbricht topped the list of issues that the LP said they hoped Mr. Trump would address in his speech to the convention. Uh,
Starting point is 02:05:02 he said, um, uh, and here's what he had to say about Ross. If you vote for me on day one, I will commute the sentence of Ross Ulbricht. Yeah! All right, so, yeah. Again, do you believe that?
Starting point is 02:05:22 He's going to have such a busy day because, you know, I don't know what he was doing for 1,460 some odd days, four years in office, just kind of kick him back and tweeting or whatever for 1,460. He had all these really important things to do. He just never got around to doing them in four years. He needed to shut down the Paris climate accord and all the rest. He just couldn't be bothered. But you know, on know on day one he's gonna get all that stuff done kind of reminds me of the people say well you know i'm gonna go on a diet tomorrow
Starting point is 02:05:53 it just never happens does it so yeah you vote for me on day one i will commute the of ross albrecht we'll get him home yes says the person recording that well i again i hope he does uh and as um the new york sun says for a candidate who once praised filipino president rodrigo duterte for doing an unbelievable job in executing drug dealers mr trump's promise to free r Ross Ulbrich is a serious olive branch to Libertarian voters. He also promised to put a Libertarian in his cabinet.
Starting point is 02:06:32 Yeah, that's right. You're going to get a Libertarian in the cabinet, tiger in your tank, and all the rest of this stuff. Look, he also promised that he would put Nikki Haley on his team. Now that I believe. I don't believe he's going to put a Libertarian in the cabinet. And I don don't believe he's going to put a libertarian in the cabinet. And I don't believe that he's going to pardon Ross Ulbricht.
Starting point is 02:06:50 But I do believe that he's going to have Nikki Haley and a bunch of other neocons like that. Do you think he's going to have anybody in his cabinet that isn't part of the CIA or the military industrial complex or the big pharmaceutical companies or on and on the big banks. You think he's going to have anybody in there other than that? That's what he filled his cabinet with the first time. No wonder he didn't drain the swamp, right? He built it, extended the swamp. So yeah, instead of all that, he's going to put in a libertarian in, and you can believe all of that, I'm sure. In the past year, he said, I've been indicted by the government on 91 different things. So if I wasn't a libertarian before, I sure as hell am a libertarian now, said Trump.
Starting point is 02:07:38 The question is, though, right? A libertarian, what does a libertarian want? A libertarian wants due process and the rule of law that respects individual liberty what does trump want revenge revenge his people want revenge they don't want due process they don't want to build rights they don't want individual liberty they want revenge that's the problem. Many probably do not forget some of Trump's policies during COVID, whether it's vaccine-related or lockdown-related,
Starting point is 02:08:15 and they may not be ready to forgive and forget, said a Republican strategist, Matthew Bartlett. Never forgive. Never forget what he did. And I say that because, look, Trump has said many times he doesn't need God's forgiveness. Well, then he doesn't need yours as well. And he hasn't asked for God's forgiveness, and he hasn't asked for your forgiveness. And you need to understand, this guy is a mass murderer, and he will do it again when he gets the chance.
Starting point is 02:08:47 And so will Biden. Two of a kind. Two of a kind. Never forget or forgive 2020 or 2021 or 2022 or 2023 or 2024. Be foolish to do that. Libertarian party chairwoman had advised her party ahead of time to keep the room civil. Since libertarians, he said,
Starting point is 02:09:10 believe in free speech. This is the libertarian national convention. It's not Ben Shapiro at Berkeley. We are not Antifa. Um, but one person from Montana, uh, Melissa Wong,
Starting point is 02:09:24 Wong was right about one thing. She said, these are libertarians, and of course they're going to boo. They boo their own people. That's right. We do, don't we? I don't support people. I support policies. And if you're going to be in politics, you better get a thick skin because I'm going
Starting point is 02:09:41 to throw anything I can at you. If you violate the Bill of Rights and individual liberty, I'm not going to hold anything back. So, yeah, I was booing the LP in 2020 because they weren't standing for liberty. Oh, yeah. Wear the mask or whatever. As a matter of fact, this guy, this clown that they put in, he was telling everybody to put the mask on as well. He's no better than Joe Jorgensen. And I hate to say that, but it's a public figure.
Starting point is 02:10:12 Like I said, I've known Joe Jorgensen. She's very nice personally. But I absolutely disagree with her on policy. I'm not a Trump fan. I want Trump in jail for pushing the COVID regime and Operation Warp Speed, said Libertarian presidential candidate Josh Smith, who didn't make it. But we have more media and press eyes on us than we've ever had in our 50 years of existence because of all this.
Starting point is 02:10:37 Oh, okay. So it's worth it? It's worth it to give this guy a platform? In this particular case, as long as the people will call him a liar and a panderer, I think it's okay. It would have been better if they would have put him in one of those cages where if you hit the target, he goes in the water, you know, get the dump dump things. Now that would have been something to say. I would have liked that. I'm surprised Trump didn't think of that.
Starting point is 02:11:00 It would have got him even more coverage. Could have played the victim with all that anyway we got a major political party candidate to say that he would free ross albrecht well did you realize that and that's a libertarian presidential candidate who also didn't make it michael rechtenwald uh do you realize that major political party candidates will say anything. And it's totally meaningless. Were you born yesterday? I mean, come on, you'll say anything. We could get a lot of attention by burning the hotel down too, said one person, and that would gain us a lot of attention,
Starting point is 02:11:38 but not good attention, said the chairman of the party's classical liberal caucus, Jonathan Casey. Libertarian presidential candidate Chase Oliver, who was the one who made it, said Trump's speaking engagement and media coverage would cause brand confusion to unsavvy voters. He also said he didn't believe that Trump would follow through on any of the promises. Well, there you go. At least he's got that kind of sense there.
Starting point is 02:12:04 But I think that Chase Oliver himself is going to cause a lot of brand confusion about what libertarian really is. You know, uh, we had a lot of people will use, you know, why do you run for president as a third party candidate? Well, a lot of them are motivational speakers or authors or something like that. Now, Ronul did and i think he did it out of uh sincere uh desire to change things he and i say that because he stood for so many years in congress by himself just like thomas massey does today and so i think he was sincere but for the most part the people were running for presidential candidate they were just they were trying to get some attention uh there's one guy his name was dick body who ran uh and it was at chicago convention i was at and uh he had his father introduce him and his father got up and said uh i was really excited to learn
Starting point is 02:12:59 about the libertine party well that's what people are going to think it is with chase oliver the libertine party we're right back to i've had people introduce me when i was there this is david knight from the uh librarian party is it because of the way i look what what is it was not a household word libertarian was it and then when it became a household word, I didn't like what the Libertarian Party was doing on a number of issues. That's why my Twitter handle is Libertitarian, Libertarian, to distinguish it from the Libertarian. Because I feel like the Libertarians are getting away from liberty too much. Anyway, so then Ramaswamy did a warm-up for trump because he's been advising trump and he's the one who's been saying you know yeah you need to say something about cbdc they hate to be okay
Starting point is 02:13:52 i'll say something about i don't like cbdc is that good you know that that's that's your promise that he's not going to do cbdc except that it was jared his son-in-law and Steve Mnuchin, the Goldman Sachs banker who were kicked this whole thing off and his administration and before Biden doubled down on it. Uh, so what is the purpose of the libertarian party getting 3% asked Trump? It says you want to make yourselves winners. Well, it's time to be winners. Now that you need to elect me unless, unless you want to get just 3%. A great libertarian who may very well be in the room right now, I believe.
Starting point is 02:14:34 He actually had a friend. I got a friend who's a libertarian. Let me tell you about him. Who I've become friends with through his writings in the American Spectator and numerous other places. He wrote an article yesterday in which he mentions just some of the things that make me a libertarian without even trying to get one. That's nice. D-Roy Ruff, Donald J. Trump will address the Libertarian Party at his national convention on Saturday. The Libertarian Party at its national convention on Saturday.
Starting point is 02:15:07 The Libertarian Party should nominate Trump for president. Thank you. In your dreams. Only if you want to win. Only if you want to win. Maybe you don't want to win. Maybe you don't want to win. Only if you want to win. Maybe you don't want to win. Now he gets nasty. Maybe you don't want to win.
Starting point is 02:15:29 Thank you, D-Rod. Thank you. No, only do that if you want to win. If you want to lose, don't do that. Keep getting your 3% every four years. The reasons for doing so policy and politics are as solid as the hope diamond Leroy says this this event yeah Leroy says this and Leroy Leroy he actually likes me Leroy calls himself a libertarian Leroy whoever this Leroy guy is really likes me
Starting point is 02:16:01 you should vote for Trump you should put Trump He says, talking in third person like that. Uh, unless you don't want to win, you really don't want to want, you want to keep getting that 3% because then when they boo him, right, what does it come a deeply wounded narcissist who gets nasty right away, starts mocking them for their low vote totals. Uh, you know, because they, they, they're not going to put him on there. So one person said after the speech, he has my vote because he's the only hope we have. Libertarianism is great, but we're not winning any elections.
Starting point is 02:16:35 So she bought that. We should put him on, you know, because I want to win. You see, not even the Libertarian Party delegates understand that we're not going to fix the problems that we have with centralized political solutions. Not going to happen. Not going to happen. They're all looking for, you know, and I've said this about the Republicans. I'll say it about the Libertarians. I'll say it about Americans in general.
Starting point is 02:17:00 We want Big Daddy to come fix everything for us i want big daddy in the white house or big mama right oh it'd be even better if we got a woman right i want some big person preferably a billionaire if you're conservative or libertarian you love people made a lot of money i want big daddy in here to fix everything and what you wind up with is big brother government doesn't fix anything brings a lot of new problems as well uh this whole idea that all of our problems need to be fixed with bigger government or more powerful people in central offices just an unbelievable blind spot it is truly amazing course, you know, he mocks the Libertarian Party and their poor performance. Met with boos and heckling, so he throws that card at them.
Starting point is 02:17:54 In addition to the party delegates, Saturday's crowd also included Trump supporters who bought tickets. And when they periodically broke out in chants of we want trump libertarians drowned them out with end the fed there was tension between the camps before trump even took the stage having been dismissed from the convention proceedings party delegates entered the hall where trump would be speaking to find that trump supporters who had purchased spectator tickets were already in the front rows, despite previous assurances from party chairwomen, Angela McArdle, that delegates would get the best seats. Verbal battles escalated into fisticuffs.
Starting point is 02:18:38 Oh, blows were had there. So they not only, you know, this, um, Angela McCarnall not only, uh, brought the, um, let the Trump supporters buy tickets, but put them in the front row when she had said that the delegates would have that Trump responded to the jeers by making fun of the party's lackluster quadrennial showing, uh, by far the most sustained applause came when Trump announced that if elected, he would commute the sentence of Ross Albrecht. Uh, but you know, again, he was silent, wasn't he? On Julian Assange, on Ed Snowden or whatever.
Starting point is 02:19:12 I will keep Elizabeth Warren and her goons away from your Bitcoin, he said. Well, can you keep Jared, your son-in-law and that goon Mnuchin, can you keep them away from it as well? I will put a libertarian in my cabinet, also libertarians in senior posts. One person in the audience yelled out Bolshevik, or words to that effect. The crowd booed when he touted his nomination from the NRA because libertarians don't like the NRA. We see them as a bunch of political sellouts as well. I always did.
Starting point is 02:19:49 I'm glad to see they still do there. Gun Owners of America, I think, is the real deal, not the NRA. And in real clear politics, even though they may only get 1% to 3% of the vote, it could be more than the difference in between Trump and Biden, and it could affect the race and battleground state. So what is the current polling situation? They said,
Starting point is 02:20:10 well, in real clear politics, Trump is ahead of Biden by two and a half percent and a five way race. So they show a Kennedy at 10 and a half percent Biden at 39% and, uh, Trump at 41.7. But then when you look at the battleground states, I said, the race will really be decided by the vote totals in seven battleground states.
Starting point is 02:20:32 Trump is winning in six and tied in one. And he's got some pretty big margins. Um, and Nevada and North Carolina is up by eight, according to them, Arizona and Georgia up by four, up by three in Michigan and Pennsylvania and tied in Wisconsin. And here's the deal. This is horse race politics. You know, we are, uh, we're six months out from the election and, um, well, maybe about five months now, but you know, just, just over five months out, anything can happen. Polls are not accurate. And this kind of stuff more often than not is used simply to, um, to push public opinion one way or the other, they don't pay any attention polls, RFK Jr.
Starting point is 02:21:16 And Trump, uh, accepted the appearance of Biden was also invited, but declined the, um, um, the Democrat turned independent RFK Jr. Received standing ovations when he promised to pardon Snowden and Assange. They also emphasized areas of commonality with libertarians, the importance of the bill of rights and the frightening authoritarianism of the COVID response. Under both Trump and Biden, uh, on the other hand, spoke of himself. And then when, uh, he was jeered,
Starting point is 02:21:48 he attacked the libertarians for their low vote totals. That's what I'm saying. It's kind of crazy. You know, you look at RFK juniors like, well, I don't know if he's telling the truth or not, but at least he's,
Starting point is 02:21:59 you know, he's doing the rational stuff. Trump is just, you know, yeah, back everybody. What is the purpose of the libertbertarian Party getting 3%? He said, well, again, this is the bigger question.
Starting point is 02:22:11 And it really is a good question. And the Libertarians need to have some self-retrospection. This is what I asked myself when I was working with the Libertarian Party. What is the point of all this? You know, we get 2% or 3% for the governor's office or whatever. Why are we doing this? It's very much like Sisyphus. You know, you would go through all this effort to get on the ballot.
Starting point is 02:22:33 You wouldn't get into the debates. You'd get one to 3% of the vote. And then you'd have to start the whole process over again, just like Sisyphus and the myth, you know, where the curse was that he had to roll this boulder up to the top of the hill. And then when he got up to the top, it rolled down and he had to do it again and never end, you know, and that's the way it was with libertarian point. It was like, what are we accomplishing here? You know, we're trying to get more vote total. So what?
Starting point is 02:22:58 So we can stay on the ballot. You know, you get 10%, you get to stay on the ballot. Otherwise you got to go back and collect, um, signatures and stuff like that in North Carolina. So why did we do that? What was you get to stay on the ballot. Otherwise, you got to go back and collect signatures and stuff like that in North Carolina. So why did we do that? What was the point? To be on the ballot? So we could roll the rock uphill again? If you're going to get on the ballot and you're not going to use it to get somebody elected to local office and do something, there was no point in it. And it was really being in the Libertarian Party that
Starting point is 02:23:25 helped me to understand the futility and the misdirection of efforts that the presidential race really represents. And then, of course, what happened in 2020 solidified that. We know that politics is local. We know that the schemes are global, but the politics are local. And that's the only place that you're going to stop it. And if you don't have a plan to do something locally, and it doesn't necessarily even have to be in politics, but if you don't have any local plans, why bother with this stuff? Come on, folks.
Starting point is 02:24:01 Mike Lee attended the convention and spoke on Trump's behalf. He engaged in blatant Orwellianism, says Reason, blaming paid agitators for heckling Trump. Seriously? Seriously? Mike Lee knows better than that. A baseless accusation wrongly claiming that actual convention goers were all in for Trump. Yeah, right. accusation wrongly claiming that actual convention goers were all in for trump yeah right yeah it was all they were all in for trump no actually you know they're uh anyway um trump uh then responds by saying that he would have absolutely have gotten libertarian party nomination if he could have run and then he slams rfk jr and he slams the libertarians and he strikes out at everybody uh so again um you know
Starting point is 02:24:53 when you look at uh uh actually i think rfk jr made some friends there but certainly i don't think trump did i think he had some people that were already supporting him of course um and um so if you want to know uh what some of the people did there was a very good report that was done by um by reason magazine kind of summarizing the convention there and the appearance of these politicians Donald Trump appeared before a raucous crowd of Libertarian Party delegates and his own supporters at the Libertarian National Convention in Washington, D.C. Starchild, a longtime Libertarian activist, was taken to the ground by security after he held up an anti-Trump banner. Trump drew his loudest boos after offering himself as the Libertarian Party nominee. The Libertarian Party should nominate Trump for president of the United States.
Starting point is 02:25:57 Whoa. That's nice. Only if you want to win. Only if you want to win. Only if you want to win. Maybe you don't want to win. Maybe you don't want to win. And the loudest cheers when he pledged to commute the life sentence of Ross Ulbricht, creator of the black market website, The Silk Road. And if you vote for me on day one, I will commute the sentence of Ross Ulbricht, who was sentenced of time served.
Starting point is 02:26:33 Freeing Ulbricht, something Trump failed to do when he had the chance as president, was an item on a list of 10 demands the Libertarian Party submitted to Trump before the speech. And that was the only one he would even promise to. Post-speech, three Libertarian presidential nominees delivered a response, but most of the crowd and media had cleared out by then. Trump be the Libertarian nominee, as he suggested. It is not April 1st, so no, I't believe so and what about you are you ready to vote for trump will you vote for him i will vote for him if that's going to be best for our party we have to decide no i'm not going to vote for trump are you going to vote for trump now Yeah, that's kind of funny.
Starting point is 02:27:27 Must have been a paid agitator, according to Mike Lee. Well, you know, Trump was talking about how he could have been the nominee if he really wanted to, right? And one guy put out, congratulations to real Donald Trump for getting six out of over 800 votes after begging the libertarian national convention to nominate him. And, uh, then Trump goes on an ego boosting Memorial day posting spree. After getting booed by the libertarians, he had to do something to boost his ego. Uh, and, um, uh, he's a Monday. He, he, uh uh did all that but of course on sunday his son eric put out a picture of um of um he and his wife and trump and melania and eric and his
Starting point is 02:28:19 girlfriend and uh said you know nobody has uh sacrificed more for this country than this family on Memorial Day. Does Eric know or care? I mean, Eric has got some real ego issues too, doesn't he? I mean, he was the guy who's saying, look at this. You know, they indicted Trump here in New York. Trump built this town. It's like, did he really? I didn't know that.
Starting point is 02:28:40 I'll have to write that down and look that up. I don't know. Yeah, I don't think so. I don't think so. But of course, he was down and look that up. I don't know. Yeah, I don't think so. Don't think so. But of course he was being cheered by the usual MAGA sycophants like Steve Bannon. Trump gets massive cheers before the Libertarian National Convention. Was that what you saw there? Trump is on fire tonight, said Johnny MAGA.
Starting point is 02:29:01 And then Laura Loomer, Laura Looney wrote, the entire National Libertarian Convention erupted in cheers. And yet, and Alex Jones found something that he could cheer with what Trump said. He had 10 things that they listed down there. The only one, evidently, that trump promised that he would do and of course his promises worth anything the only one they promised was to free ross but alex jones wet his finger and stuck it in the air to see which way trump was blowing and so now he says i've declared war on rfk jr who he previously uh was touting praising profusely you know that's the way things go isn't it uh on rock fan a syrian girl thank you very much for the tip uh says judges are like a box
Starting point is 02:29:55 of chocolates but more likely to be filled with cyanide than caramel yeah that's true uh marky mark new jersey thank you for the tip he writes He writes there over 1000 viewers in the house this morning. Yay. Well, thank you. Thank you. And, uh, please do like the stream. I think that does help. Thank you very much.
Starting point is 02:30:12 Appreciate that. Uh, on Rockfin, Wayne wonder. Thank you for the tip and rumble DG eight. Thank you. Says David, the reason Trump won't pardon Ross or Assange is because Trump promised Pompeo a cabinet position in 2025. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:30:26 There's your libertarian, right? I'm pale. No, uh, Pompeo loves jailing whistleblowers. Is that how you fight the deep state? Absolutely not.
Starting point is 02:30:36 Nope. Nope. I think they had classes on, uh, doing things to whistleblowers too, where he was at the CIA, uh, on rumble stealth Patriot. patriot uh and of course the woman who
Starting point is 02:30:47 was his deputy at the cia who became the cia head you know she she gave classes on how to torture people and extract lies to get us involved in wars and trump promoted her even though he said we were lied into iraqi promoted the person who sold the lies and tortured people he made her the head of the cia just remember uh remember remember the 5th of november i don't know what day in november it follows on but that's something to remember um on rumble stealth patriot thank you for the tip it says uh trump. It says, Trump doesn't want to pardon Assange because Assange presents more of a threat to the deep state than Ross Ulbricht.
Starting point is 02:31:31 Yeah, that's right. Therefore, more of a threat to Trump. Exactly right. On Rockfin, Michelle Obama says, thank you for the tip. David, play one of your Christmas songs after playing Little John's song, please. What? Little John?
Starting point is 02:31:46 I don't know. Do you know who Little John is? One of the guys in chat is named John, and he really likes the previous break. Oh, okay. All right. Well, I don't think I've got any Christmas songs on here. I've got access to them. Okay.
Starting point is 02:32:00 Play a Christmas song. That's fine. We've got one. Go ahead and play it. Are you got it ready where you can play it right now? Go ahead and play it. Are you got it ready where you can play it right now? Go ahead. © transcript Emily Beynon ORCHESTRA PLAYS You're listening to The David Knight Show. All right, and a little bit of Christmas music. And let's talk about some gifts that were sent to me via mail.
Starting point is 02:33:30 These are some checks that we got in the last week, and I just want to read people's first name and last initial to thank them. John R., Ed C., James F., Scott C. Fred and Jackie U. John K. Kelly M. William G. Richard R. J. B. Kelly F. Mark C. David and Deborah W. Thank you. And Patrick M. and Jack B. Thank you, all of you. I really do appreciate that. And so, while we're on that subject, as a matter of fact, I had a listener. One of the questions or comments, I should say, that was sent to me email. Robert sent this to me last week because it really puzzled me when I looked at it. As I said, you know, there was an article from the New York Times talking about your mic is open, Travis. I can hear you typing in there.
Starting point is 02:34:30 Type it away. But the New York Times had an article talking about a Christian family and how they handled a kid that had been gaslit on gender in their school. And so the New York Times decided that it would engage in some theological debate with Christians. And so it said, well, you know, we know that there's not just two genders, because you had Jacob and Esau, and Esau was hairy and Jacob was smooth. What does that mean? And of course, that is absolutely meaningless.
Starting point is 02:35:11 I was talking about the fact that one of them had a great deal of hair and the other one didn't. That doesn't say anything about gender. And then they had the strange thing. They just threw in their one statement. And then Jesus talked about eunuchs. And, and then Jesus talked about eunuchs. And I thought, Jesus talked about eunuchs? I can't remember that. And so Robert reminded me of that.
Starting point is 02:35:33 And he says, for example, if you want to brush up on what Jesus said about eunuchs in the context, you know, you can go to KingJamesBibleOnline.org. Of course, you can also go to Blue Letter Bible and things like that there's a lot of them out there uh you know there's a lot of them that um you can find online i think bible gateway has got a lot of resources there as well i like the blue letter bible because it's um you can look up a particular word and and i think you probably can on this one that he just talked about and you can find it everywhere uh that it's referenced but i thought it was interesting when i went back and looked to see where jesus talked about it they completely mixed missed what he was saying he was saying you know you're asking me about is it okay to divorce your wife and he says uh haven't you read that God created us male and female,
Starting point is 02:36:25 the purpose of marriage? And he's talking to them about marriage and about not looking at, well, how can I get out of this thing? Let me get out. He says, no, that's the wrong emphasis on all this stuff. And then he says, some people are born eunuchs, some people are forced to be eunuchs, and some people become eunuchs for the kingdom of God.
Starting point is 02:36:44 And so the question is if they're trying to say that um trying to correlate that into gender surgery you know becoming eunuchs or whatever that's not what that was about at all in the context really what it is talking about is whether or not people are going to marry or not because the whole idea of marriage and having children were all tied together even in greece where homosexuality was widely accepted they didn't have homosexual marriage because marriage was about children and about creating a family they didn't have homosexual marriage they might have uh had a marriage where they had children their thing but and they might have been homosexual,
Starting point is 02:37:25 but they did not have homosexual marriage. So what he was talking about, and it doesn't make any sense that somebody would become a eunuch for the kingdom of God. There's nothing in that Jesus or anybody said for somebody to have become sterilized or anything like that it was really about marriage some people decide they don't want to be married i mean certainly jesus decided that you had paul decided that they were going to remain single uh they didn't have to uh you know certainly paul didn't have to but um that was a decision that they did uh for their work it had nothing to do this is why i say it was so crazy i had to stop and think what in the world are they talking about because i knew the context that they were talking about
Starting point is 02:38:09 it's like jesus never said anything about that uh but anyway um he said uh when somebody is straddling the fence political correctness about some topic being propagandized and trying to fit this into a more inclusive and sensitive opinion. He said, just ask them, do you really think God and Jesus have evolved? Or do you think that heaven and earth will pass away, but his word will not pass away? And, you know, you should always look up the, um, what they're trying to tell people in terms of, um, you know, when, uh, the New York times has got an interpretation, uh, look it up and then see what in the world did they do?
Starting point is 02:38:51 They come up with something, uh, about, uh, Unix that has absolutely nothing to do with anything. Well, we've had, um, and some other news we've had, uh, and Canada, this was sent to me by Giles. Thank you very much. And he points out that in Canada, they have're using for Trudeau's assisted suicide is experienced as drowning for 30 minutes to 24 hours. Wow, that is amazing. Like waterboarding, I guess.
Starting point is 02:39:36 You waterboard people until they die. That's what this drug is doing. He said the paralysis induced before administering the drug prevents the patient from writhing and choking. However, as explained in an interview with Jordan Peterson, that's the way that it works. But he points out, he said, this information, however, is being withheld from the public. Why would they do that? Well, for the same reason they hide the pictures of aborted babies that are ripped to pieces. They don't want you to know what their policies of abortion or so-called euthanasia, you know, murder.
Starting point is 02:40:11 They don't want you to know the horror of that and how they're torturing people, harming people. This is from Dougalog. I said, thank you, Doug. He left a tip earlier. And he writes and he says, I want to let you know about finding you on Rumble using Roku. I have a Roku stick that plugs into the HDMI port on my TV with Roku. I get spectrum internet TV selection as well as all kinds of apps.
Starting point is 02:40:40 Rumble is one of them. He said the NHRA drag racing is on it my favorite i found them in the roku app store now we can get you and life size living color on our tv using the roku i cannot participate in the rumble chat but i figure that's what my computer is for i heard you talking about today you didn't seem quite sure how it all worked and I wasn't. So thank you so much, uh, for telling everybody that, um, and then, um, he references to me and it's the first time I'd seen this, there's some kind of a foot licking event and an Oklahoma public school, what will they come up with next?
Starting point is 02:41:17 Do you know, isn't it amazing? You know what, what they, what they do in the name of education. Uh, I'll take another look at that, Doug, and I'll probably talk about that tomorrow. And then in Haiti, we have a couple of Christian missionaries murdered there, and you have some officials who are trying to get their bodies home,
Starting point is 02:41:39 and these gangs in Haiti are not releasing the bodies. A young couple that were missionaries to Haiti, some of the articles are saying they think their bodies have been burned after they killed them. One person, well, actually, this was Senator Hawley who wrote on X. The father also wrote about it. He said, Natalie and Davey devoted their lives to spreading the gospel and serving others.
Starting point is 02:42:09 As Missouri mourns their loss, I ask you to mobilize all resources at your disposal to protect the transport of their remains back to Missouri. This is the least your government owes our citizens, he wrote to Biden. And so it was actually a Missouri state representative whose daughter, Natalie, and her husband, both of them missionaries, were killed by gangs. He said, two days ago, two Missouri missionaries, Natalie and Davy Lloyd, were brutally murdered by Haitian gangs as they were looking to minister to the Haitian people, said Hawley. On the night they were besieged by gangs, my office urgently requested help from the U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince.
Starting point is 02:42:53 Here's the thing, folks. Don't expect help from your government, especially in a foreign country. They don't help you in this country. Natalie and Davey were ambushed by a gang of three trucks as they were coming out of the church. After being ambushed, Davey was taken to a house and tied up and beaten while gang members began stealing items. Davey's father told Wall Street Journal, they tied up my son and beat him. They got three vehicles. They got a bunch of equipment money, he said, that I had on my payroll in there for the week.
Starting point is 02:43:23 Davey was reportedly able to untie himself, his father told the outlet. After being untied, Davey and Natalie, along with Jude Montes, the Haitian director of the organization, found shelter in a house used by Davey's parents. While on the phone with his dad, Davey revealed that a bunch more guys had shown up and the windows in the house ended up being shot at. The gang members eventually broke into the house and killed the Lloyds and Montas.
Starting point is 02:43:48 A video which was reviewed by the outlet showed Davies and Montas' bodies having been burned. He says, as I write, Natalie and Davy Lloyd's remains are still not home and reunited with the families. Their government failed them in the hour of need. Now I ask that you take all available steps to ensure the adequate security measures are in place to safely return their remains to the U.S. And so that's what Holly is asking Biden. Do you think he cares?
Starting point is 02:44:19 I don't think so. In a legal case that has been playing out, you remember at at christmas time i just played the christmas song well this is going back to christmas and the iowa and the iowa legislative building they had some religious displays up there some christmas stuff i think they had some hanukkah stuff and everything so the satanic temple thought they would come in and put up a anti-religion display. It's not a religious display. It's an anti-religion display.
Starting point is 02:44:51 It is anti-freedom of religion is what they put in. They don't believe in Satan. They said they don't believe in Satan. And so they're not worshiping Satan. They are trolling Christians and other religions because they want to shut down. They figured that the reaction is going to be, well, if we shut down the satanic display, that'll set up a bad example for free speech. Since when have they cared about that?
Starting point is 02:45:19 Since when have they cared about precedents being said about the First Amendment? Ever. They don't care about that stuff and this is not a first amendment issue anyway as i said they don't have it's not they don't believe this stuff and so you had a former republican congressional candidate who saw this from out of state michael cassidy a Navy Reserve veteran from Mississippi, traveled to Iowa and destroyed the satanic display. Then they charged him with a hate crime. When in reality, the hate crime was being done by the satanic temple. And I don't think there should be such a thing as a hate crime.
Starting point is 02:46:03 But anyway, it wasn't religious freedom. So they put this thing up and they said, happy holidays, hail Satan. He said, my conscience is held captive to the word of God, not the bureaucratic decree. And so I acted. And they were very concerned because they said the presentation was damaged beyond repair. It didn't look to me like they'd spent a whole lot of time on it, though. You know, it's like some elementary school project. Anyway, here's what I think is interesting.
Starting point is 02:46:36 He was set for trial June 3rd, but the court when the court denied a motion to dismiss the case, but his attorney filed a guilty plea on Friday. And under terms of the agreement, he may be required to participate in a victim offender dialogue with representatives of the satanic temple. Now, I would love to be a fly on the wall for that. I would love to hear that dialogue between him and the satanic temple. Final decisions on a Bible club after seven months of anti-Christian hostility. And this is in California. They said, we're not going to allow a voluntary organization for this particular activity, even though they do it in many other places. They fought them, but eventually they have lost that fight.
Starting point is 02:47:27 Uh, before we take a break, uh, I had an essay here from, um, this is from, uh, expose news and, uh, it was actually her, her comments. Um, Rhonda, uh, wrote a Wilson. Uh, it was an article that was written by Professor Matthias Desmet. And as we look at our society now, it's becoming more and more difficult to, I can understand why nobody cares about policy issues, why nobody cares to talk about what the Constitution says or what a law says,
Starting point is 02:48:05 that you're not going to be able to sue companies, firearms companies that are making firearms because, no, we've got to criminalize all firearms even though we've got a specific law, even though we've got the Second Amendment, we've got all these other, we're just not going to pay attention to it. When you try to talk to people about things
Starting point is 02:48:22 in this world of post-modernism, we are really post-tr truth is really where we are it was a Pontius Pilate who said what is truth ah what is truth I don't care and today that's what you get from people you try to talk to them they don't even care they don't even want to it's not even worth talking about truth I got a truth you got a truth there is no such thing as truth. What is truth anyway? Well, as Rhoda Wilson says at Expose News, she said, truth is the only remedy for a society that is sick of lies. Are you sick of lies?
Starting point is 02:48:55 I am. I'm sick of a society that continues to go down, circling the drain and going down even further. It connects people from soul to soul. As such, truth is the real cure for the loneliness, for the disconnectedness that makes modern human beings so vulnerable to propaganda. As soon as the group connected through sincere speech is energetically stronger than the propagandized masses, the era of totalitarianism is over.
Starting point is 02:49:26 So Professor Desmet says one of the big questions of our time is, what can we believe? He said, we have humanity that is lost in a world of manufactured falsehood. Who will protect society from censorship and falsehood? Will it be from journalism? Is that where we're going to get the truth? He said Walter Lippmann won two Pulitzer Prizes and is considered to be the father of modern journalism.
Starting point is 02:49:52 He said, here's a quote from Lippmann's book, Public Opinion. He said, public opinion must be organized for the press if they're to be sound, not by the press as is the case today. This quote makes, uh, says as much as this, he said from 1922, forget the free press. You know, people are going to tell you what they want to tell you so that you'll buy their name or they'll click on, you'll click on the article or you'll support it. That's what they tailor it for. Or maybe there's a hidden agenda. Maybe there's some money under the table that's being given to them by the government
Starting point is 02:50:35 or by a corporation to lie to you about the product or the narrative that they're selling. And of course, the narrative is the product for the government. What is truly mind-boggling, however, is that even when experts such as Gates and Fauci admit that the vaccine didn't stop the spreading of the virus, even when the experts of the Imperial College admit that the mortality rates of the virus were far lower than their models predicted, even when that happens, a major part of the population doesn't really want to hear it. They don't want to hear it about their politicians either. Never in history has it demonstrated so convincingly that indeed the most fundamental passion of the human being
Starting point is 02:51:16 is not love, not hate, but the passion for ignorance. Upon closer consideration, the problem of deception in society is far more complex than just a bunch of manipulative propagandists who mislead a guileless population it seems that most people don't care too much about being deceived they even seem to admire those who deceive them and that's what i see with the manga stuff stuff. Oh, it's 4D chess. Isn't that clever? You know, Trump is out there. He's lying to get what he wants.
Starting point is 02:51:50 Do you ever think that he's lying to you? Well, that'd be pretty good, you know, if he's lying to all of us. Because, you know, I know the truth. But, you know, these other MAGA people, maybe, you know, they'll go along with him. And maybe he'll win. Let's just get, you know, whatever it is that we want. Let's just lie to get it. That's what all this 4D chess that Alex is pushing out there is really about.
Starting point is 02:52:07 The totalitarian mass leader has based their propaganda on the correct psychological assumption that under such conditions, one could make people believe the most fantastic statements one day and trust that if the next day they were given irrefutable proof of that falsehood, they would take refuge in cynicism instead of deserting the leaders who had lied to them. Isn't that where we are now? The public can see the people in journalism, people in the alternative media, the mainstream media, the politicians in both parties who lied to them. They've now got the proof. And what they've done is they've retreated back to cynicism. Oh yeah, everybody does it. Yeah, there's no truth anywhere. We'll just leave
Starting point is 02:52:59 these people in office and we'll vote for either Biden or for Trump, they'll excuse the people who lied to them and they'll retreat back to cynicism. They would protest that they'd known all along that the statement was a lie and they would admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness. That's the 4D chess thing. That was a slogan throughout 2020, 4D chess. We'll be right
Starting point is 02:53:29 back. Thank you. you're listening to The David Knight Show. Well, on Rumble, Radis Bro, thank you for the tip. I appreciate that. He says, Americans need to learn what our forefathers said, and we need to get our home in order before considering to travel or to help anyone abroad. Well, I agree. I mean, when we look at, you know, I think America could use some missionaries.
Starting point is 02:55:28 I understand that people have got a heart that they want to go to a particular area or something and feel led to do that. I'm not going to criticize them for doing that. But boy, when I look around America, I think God send us some missionaries. We need it more than anybody. And here we are. We need it more than anybody.
Starting point is 02:55:45 And here we are. We are the epicenter of the filth that is going around globally. Even when we look at censorship, it is being, you got when you are the pandemic, right? People are worried about whether or not the pandemic treaty is going to go through. And it looks like they've had a setback. They're now looking for billions of dollars more money. They're now going to kind of pivot and turn to the international health regulations. And yet, while all this is going on, the United States is going to pay. Let me just repeat this.
Starting point is 02:56:17 The United States, the Biden administration is going to pay 100 countries, not counties, countries. And that's pretty much all of them are going to pay 100 countries to start implementing these pandemic policies. See, that's how it works. They do it with the money. They do it with the Federal Reserve stuff that they have unlimited amounts of money that they can just hand out to people. That's why I say the order that Trump signed on that Friday the 13th was about releasing
Starting point is 02:56:47 the money. That's what Biden is doing now. He's giving money to people to put the pandemic treaty in place, even though they can't agree on it at the World Health Organization. He wants to pay the 100 poorest countries to implement it themselves. That's how this all works. Follow the money. Follow the money, Jerry.
Starting point is 02:57:08 Okay, so let's talk a little bit about Pothole Pete. We're talking about liars and everything. If you're going to get somebody to be Secretary of Transportation, of course you would go to a guy who was a mayor, a mayor in the town where Notre Dame is, known for not fixing the streets and the potholes pothole. Pete, uh, transportation secretary, Pete booty gay.
Starting point is 02:57:32 I call him that because he loves to, um, uh, that's his, his, uh, superpower is a D E I, uh, privilege that he puts out there. That's what he runs on is being gay. So let's call him booty gay. Uh, since I'm not really sure how to pronounce the rest of his name. Transportation secretary, Pete booty gay. So the climate change is one of the culprits behind increasing flight
Starting point is 02:57:55 turbulence. If you didn't know that, did you, you see climate change is being caused by flatulence, isn't it? We've got to have vaccines for car for cow for cow farts and perhaps for humans as well. And so that flatulence is causing climate change, which is causing turbulence. So we could really say that flatulence causes turbulence.
Starting point is 02:58:19 And that's kind of what he said. The reality is the effects of climate change are already upon us in terms of our transportation. We've seen that in the form of everything from heat waves. He's a clever liar. We should like him. It would possibly even be possible, threatening to melt the cables of transit systems in the Pacific Northwest. Melt the cables. To hurricane seasons becoming more and more extreme and indications that turbulence is up by about 15%.
Starting point is 02:58:44 That means assessing anything and everything that we can do about it. Here in the U.S. Well, in the atmosphere generally, but certainly something that will affect American travelers, whether here or abroad. Now, there are protocols and patterns for things like how pilots who encounter turbulence can notify those who might be coming in the path,
Starting point is 02:59:03 but I do think we need to continually reevaluate that. So there he is on a bold-faced lie to the nation. And she's absolutely incredulous. Here? Turbulence is happening? Well, you know, look, turbulence happens. Sometimes it just hits the fan. He says, yeah, it can happen. It can happen unexpectedly.
Starting point is 02:59:22 And so we need to be very careful about it. And then she takes on this thing about the chargers, you know. The Federal Highway Administration says only seven or eight charging stations have been produced with a $7.5 billion investment that taxpayers made back in 2021. Why isn't that happening more quickly? So the president's goal is to have half a million chargers up by the end of this decade. Now, in order to do a charger, it's more than just plunking a a small device into the ground there's utility work and this is also really a new category of federal investment but we've been working with each of the 50 states every one of them is getting formula dollars to do this work engaging them in the first handful
Starting point is 03:00:00 again by 2030 500 000 chargers and the very first handful of chargers she's not buying it she says you you seven and a half billion dollars and we're working with she said seven or eight chargers you've been able to install in since november 2021 with seven and a half billion dollars and she goes you know kind of laughs and like come on let's get real. No, he's just a really sophisticated liar. He's a Marxist, by the way. A trained Marxist. His father was a Marxist. His father spent his entire lifetime pushing the Marxism that marches through the institutions.
