Starting point is 00:00:37 I'm Garvey Bailey, the host of Happy Enough, a new podcast from The Globe and Mail about our pursuit of happiness. We know people want to live more fulfilling and positive lives, but how do we actually do that? Is there a happiness code to crack? From our relationship with technology to whether money can really buy you happiness, we'll hear from both real people and experts to demystify this thing we're all searching for and hopefully find ways to be happy enough. You can find Happy Enough wherever you listen to podcasts. Using free speech to free minds.
Starting point is 00:01:43 You're listening to The David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it's Tuesday, the 30th of April, Year of Our Lord, 2024. Well, today we're going to take a look at something that I quite enjoy. It's my birthday, so we're going to take a look at some self-driving fails. It's a little bit of schadenfreude because I hate these things. I know what their purpose is. And so it's good to see these things fail. We'll also be joined in the third hour by Alex Newman, who you've heard me quote many times, saying the schools are burning building.
Starting point is 00:02:45 Get your child out and then work with your neighbors to try to put the fire out before it burns down your neighborhood. He's written a book encapsulating all this, showing the history of this gradual, iterative government takeover. Deliberate, it's by design. None of this stuff is happening because people don't know any better. Yeah, a lot of people are being taken advantage of, but the people who are doing this know precisely what they're doing. He'll be joining us in the third hour. We'll be right back. Well, for the most part, I think we're going to stick to some lighter stuff today. We will be talking about war, though.
Starting point is 00:03:30 And it's, you know, we've got a wartime speaker. Very excited about the possibility. This is his moment to make history and to make money while the sun is shining until he nukes it. I don't know what he's going to do with his money, Mike Johnson, when he starts a nuclear war. It's him in the bunker counting his gold coins or greenbacks or whatever. If he's smart, he won't have them in greenbacks, that's for sure. But we have Adam Schiff, who is running to replace Dianne Feinstein,
Starting point is 00:04:04 who reminded us that even uh, even the powerful people die reminder to Diane who thought that she would never die. She was never going to let hold, let go of her hold on power. And so, uh, Adam Schiff is a campaigning. He went to San Francisco and, uh, the local news showed him at a meeting with everybody in suits and he was uh in casual attire uh he had on a vest uh a uh a um a vest to keep himself warm because i mean we're talking about san francisco as mark twain said uh the coldest uh winter he ever had was a summer in San Francisco. So he's got his vest on, but his luggage was stolen. And they got his suit and his tie. These broke into the car of Senate candidate Adam Schiff in San Francisco
Starting point is 00:04:55 for an event forcing a change of plan, specifically his attire for the events. He was dressed more casually than his guests, who were all in suits and ties. And, uh, so when I told this to Karen, she said, maybe it was some San Fran tranny who got his clothes and a kind of a reverse of Sam Britton who used to steal women's clothes. Uh, maybe there's, uh, some, some other twisted San Franny who, uh, San Franny tranny who wants to get Adam shifts close, I don't know, but we're talking about San Francisco can't rule anything. As a matter of fact, you know, when I was just going through, I go through all kinds of, uh, news and websites. And I saw this thread from a guy who was talking about his, his, uh, sub stack is thinking about Western civilization.
Starting point is 00:05:48 He talks about different aspects of Western civilization that we typically don't think about. And this particular one was about Roman roads. How were they constructed? Why did they last so long? We still have bridges that the Romans built over large spans of water that haven't fallen down. I guess nobody could get a barge into the river or something. But these roads are still there. As you said, all roads lead to Rome.
Starting point is 00:06:18 Well, it's because they were building roads as part of their civilization. And I thought about it. I thought, what will be left of our civilization? Is it going to be some plastic bottles or something like that, if that's even left? He said there was 50,000 miles of paved roads throughout the Roman Empire. And so I looked up to see how much we have in terms of interstate system. And we have 40,000 miles.
Starting point is 00:06:47 Now, of course, that's just over the United States. But again, Europe is pretty small compared to the United States. They overlay it. And so the Roman Empire was more extensive than Europe. And these roads go out all the way into the Middle East, of course. But the interstate system, as well as Roman roads, were built, as well as the German Autobahn. All three of those were really built primarily for military purposes, to be able to move equipment very quickly.
Starting point is 00:07:17 That's why Hitler did it. That's why the Romans did it. Eisenhower saw that, and he had an experience where we had to move a convoy up in the northeast and so this is crazy we're not even going to be able to move through our own country so when he became president he built the interstate system and they built it fairly quickly when they've got military motivation seems like they can get things done pretty quickly but we can't do that anymore, can we? I mean, it's amazing. When you look at Biden and you look at Booty Gay, there's not any will to do any of this stuff.
Starting point is 00:07:56 They don't even want to pave the potholes anymore, even in most Republican states. Tennessee is about the best place I've seen in terms of keeping up with roads, but most of them don't even care to maintain the roads. And they certainly aren't expanding the roads as they expand the number of people who move into any given city, like Austin, for example. Constantly, you're looking at neighborhoods springing up, apartment complexes springing up, but never any expansion of the roads. Now, of course, they can't widen them anymore because they're locked in. But always in these futuristic sci-fi movies, they would always show the road systems of the future
Starting point is 00:08:38 as multi-level or even flying cars, flying at multiple levels, but they would at least have different roads at different levels because they were building buildings up. So they would build, they have to build the roads up. No, they don't do that anymore. And again, it's because they, the plan is for you not to be able to move. So that's the other part of the military thing. They want to make sure that we can't move, that we're not mobile. That's one of the first things you do with your enemy. You make sure that their communications are shut down, which is what they're working on very hard now with the information disinformation stuff. They want to make sure they have disrupted our communications.
Starting point is 00:09:17 They will listen to our communications and spy on us and catalog what we have to say until they're ready to turn it off. And the same thing is true of our transportation. And so a country that doesn't have the will to build families, that doesn't have the will to build infrastructure, is a dying country. America is a dying country. We are a cut flower society. Oh, isn't that nice?
Starting point is 00:09:44 It looks so nice, but it's there in the bottle and it's dying and the leaves are going to fall off. When we look at what our road system is like, really is engineered for crony capitalism, not to last for thousands of years. It's engineered for crony capitalism to need constant maintenance and to constantly spend money on their friends because it's all about graft and patronage. Well, let's talk about only free speech in their country. They need to be able to shut down free speech in their country, but they need to be able to shut down free speech around the world. And so you have the EU, Australia, Brazil, all demanding that they control social media, specifically Twitter,
Starting point is 00:10:45 because Elon Musk is making a name for himself in terms of opposing them. I just, I have a, you know, we look at what he does and it really is a mixed bag. And when you look at his background, there's a lot of really, really bad red flags. But nevertheless, just focusing on this we have the australian prime minister is calling for a ban on memes he said i know today on the way up here they've removed various sites various sites removed very sites that had fake images of me or his head was superimposed on other people. Yeah, it's called mockery. It's called satire. Happiness. We all know what it feels like, but sometimes it doesn't come easy.
Starting point is 00:11:33 I'm Garvey Bailey, the host of Happy Enough, a new podcast from The Globe and Mail about our pursuit of happiness. We know people want to live more fulfilling and positive lives. But how do we actually do that? Is there a happiness code to crack? From our relationship with technology to whether money can really buy you happiness, we'll hear from both real people and experts to demystify this thing we're all searching for and hopefully find ways to be happy enough. You can find Happy Enough wherever you listen to podcasts. And these petty dictators don't get that.
Starting point is 00:12:19 Well, that's the sort of thing that's going on on social media, he said. Social media has a responsibility to do the right thing here. Well, pal, you've got a responsibility to protect our god-given rights that's the purpose that we have of governments and we need to remind ourselves that when governments become destructive of those god-given inalienable rights that it is the right and the duty of the people to alter or to abolish that government. Australia has what they call an e-safety commissioner. It's about their safety, frankly. Not about your safety. Just like national security is about their security.
Starting point is 00:12:57 It's not about your security. They're putting all of us in danger with national security at the Pentagon. But the e-safety commissioner, of course, a bureaucrat who does regulation without representation, who does regulation without authority, most likely, I don't know what their laws are here, but we do the same thing here in America. And there is no authority for this, just like there's no authority for anything that Trump did in 2020 with the lockdowns and the rest of that stuff these people defied authority they defied the constitution that gives them their authority the constitution they swore to uphold so he's ordered this australian dictator has ordered both x and meta to remove footage of the stabbing of that bishop there in Sydney.
Starting point is 00:13:46 Whereas the bishop says he doesn't want it removed. He came back out. He's got a patch over his eye. I don't know. There's no information about the extent of his injuries. But he came out and he says, no. He says, I honor the people who fought for our freedom. And he said, and they fought for our freedom, and you better not take that away.
Starting point is 00:14:08 Musk said, no president, prime minister, or judge has authority over all of Earth. This platform adheres to the laws of countries in those countries, but it would be improper to extend one country's rulings to other countries. If he wants to censor things in other countries he should bring a legal legal action to bear in those countries and so this little dictator whose name is albanese um wants to see memes removed um and uh as this article says, of course, that meant that there were millions more memes made of him. And so, you know, when we look at these guys, here's what he had to say. I'll play for you.
Starting point is 00:14:54 This guy is a prime example of how we have the worst and the weakest among us as our leaders. What a judgment from God that we are led by people like this. Platforms have a responsibility to make sure that misinformation isn't got out there. I noticed today, for example, on the way up here, they've removed various sites that were up containing fake images of myself superimposed on other people. That's the sort of thing that is on social media. Social media has a responsibility to do the right thing here.
Starting point is 00:15:46 Yeah, yeah. By the way, here's the picture of him as the chicken that I put up. He was talking about that. They've got pictures of me with my head on other people or other chickens, for example, in this. It says AFC. It's an Australian fried chicken uh totally spineless chicken he's got a guy in a chicken suit uh and uh the head is uh this particular guy and uh other
Starting point is 00:16:16 memes out there um anthony albany's australian uh m MP and censorship nanny. Do not make fun of me and my clown car. Yeah, it is exactly what people are looking for. By the way, you know, here's here's why they are so adamant about having control of censorship. It isn't that he's really upset about people putting his head on you know picture somebody in a chicken costume it's because of this kind of stuff remember this remember the australian lockdowns remember the brutality of the police shoving people down beating them with their masks you're not wearing a mask yeah That's what they don't want you to see.
Starting point is 00:17:06 They don't want you to remember this. That's why I'm reminding you of this. Look at this. Mob. Mob of angry women with bully clubs and masks. Picking on a middle-aged woman. Knocking her to the ground. She's injured on the ground because they shoved
Starting point is 00:17:25 her down yeah that's what they don't want you to see isn't it we know exactly what they have done they think we don't know but we do we know who these people are we know what they want their purpose is to dictate what you see and what you know, but we know already. Just like the song, what was the guy's name? I can't remember his name now. Is that Richmond, North of Richmond? He says, they think we don't know, but we do. We do.
Starting point is 00:17:58 We know exactly what they want. And we know what all these rich men, North of know, one of the new members of the club, Michael Johnson, he's one of the new rich men, North of Richmond. Uh, he just made $20 million in one quarter and he's completely owned by that. Their accusations indict them with unerring precision as they always accuse the other side of that which they are guilty of.
Starting point is 00:18:30 It's a brownstone article. Absolutely right. You know, I mentioned this yesterday, Trump coming out saying RFK Jr. is a Democrat plant. Well, Trump is a Democrat. He's a Democrat who was planted by the globalist. Just take a look at what he did in 2020, folks. He did everything that they wanted. He did it in sync with everybody else.
Starting point is 00:18:57 No difference between Trump and Trudeau. How could that be? Trump is an anti-globalist. He's a nationalist. He hates those guys at Davos that he hung out with. He hates those people's Democrats like Clintons and everything that he used to party with. All the time. They're gearing up for the next attack.
Starting point is 00:19:18 It'll be on a new axis and more likely a set of axes because that's the game. These protests that are happening right now in the colleges, as many people pointed out, I talked about how Soros is funding them. A lot of people point out, you know, it's very much astroturf in a lot of different ways. Looks like they are very well organized, very vitriolic. How will they use those? Well, they might use it to say,
Starting point is 00:19:41 we've got to have more hate crime laws, right? That's what we've seen over and over again. People virtue signaling to the foreign government of Israel, whether it's DeSantis or Kristi Noem. Now you've got bills that have been introduced, as I pointed out. Oh, we're going to have to shut down your free speech because you might say something negative about a foreign government. That's a different way of doing it isn't it you know we've got australia brazil the eu out there saying we're going to tell you what you can put up remember when uh elon musk bought twitter yeah that guy theory breton i call him conspiracy
Starting point is 00:20:19 theory his name is t-h-i-e-r-R-Y, but it's pronounced theory. So Mr. Conspiracy Theory out of the EU. So we got this new thing, the DSA. And when it takes effect, you're going to do what we tell you to do. And Musk is bowing to him. Yes, yes, yes, I will. Okay. Well, they want to tell everybody what to do. They want to control speech worldwide.
Starting point is 00:20:42 Brazil wants to do the same thing. Australia wants to do the same thing. Israel is a little bit more cunning. They're going to do it through our congressmen in order to protect them. And of course, on the back end, they will throw all kinds of cash at our congressmen. And as Trump said, you know, they own Congress and rightfully so. That's what he said. Well, they're getting up to do it again.
Starting point is 00:21:03 Signs are all there. The way to stop it is to call it out now. And so, as this article on Brownstone says, it's much harder for a magician to do a trick if Penn and Teller are sitting in the audience calling out the methods right beforehand. It renders the whole thing transparent and silly. This is why they've got to shut down social media. And it's why he cares so much that people put his head on a chicken suit.
Starting point is 00:21:31 Uh, because ridicule is the most effective weapon. It really is. There's no defense about, uh, against it. Uh, Saul Alinsky said in his rules for radical, he said, uh, uh, uh, satire is the most effective weapon because there's no defense against it that's why they're going after memes come on you can't take a joke no they understand the power of a joke they want our speech our memes our ability to build and support community but they're not seeking to suppress us because we are powerless, he says.
Starting point is 00:22:06 Well, that's very true. But we need to understand, where is our power? Is our power in our numbers? Is it because we're strong and big in numbers? Well, that is one aspect of it. They don't want communication because they don't want people to figure out what they have done to us. And so that's part of it. But I think it'd be foolish for us to trust in our numbers, just like it's foolish for them to trust in their weapons. It's foolish for them to trust in their money. We see how frail their financial system is.
Starting point is 00:22:40 And of course, they're working to destroy it as well. We see how weak their weapons are, even though they spent an amazing amount of money on them. You're still seeing these expensive weapon systems being taken out by asymmetric warfare, very cheap strikes against those. I think we have to be careful that we don't trust any of that stuff, that we don't trust our money, that we don't trust our numbers or anything that we have as well. All you need to trust is God. And so along those lines, I saw this clip from one of the prosperity gospel TV evangelists who's made an obscene amount of money.
Starting point is 00:23:25 This guy's Jesse Duplantis. And I'd never paid any attention to these people. I saw this clip, uh, and I went back to look at what he had. He said, yeah, all these people making fun of my plane,
Starting point is 00:23:39 making fun of my house. He's got a $54 million private jet. He's got a $50 million house. He's got a $54 million private jet. He's got a $50 million house. Travis, pull up the pictures of his house there. It's like 30 or 40,000 square feet. It dwarfs everything else around him. And he's sitting there boasting about just how much he has. Look at that. There's an aerial picture of this sprawling mansion. What does he need that for? And look at how it dwarfs all these other houses around there.
Starting point is 00:24:16 He is so proud of that. Listen to what he has to say, because it actually is pretty amazing. He is, and it's amazing to see that somebody who is this effective and has been operating for so long as a pastor and made so much money is so absolutely ignorant about what he's reading in the Psalms. He doesn't even understand that it applies to him until his wife points it out. Yeah. Inadvertently. Here he is bragging about what he owns. Be not thou afraid when one is made rich.
Starting point is 00:24:56 When the glory of his house is increased. Is increased. Yeah. He likes that. Read that and get, pull that up in the amplifier. Verse 16 of Psalms chapter 49. If you can do that,
Starting point is 00:25:13 let me read it while she's getting it. Be now thou afraid. Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is well versed in this stuff is increased read that well it's amplified says it be not afraid when an ungodly one is made rich that's true in the wealth and glory of his house are increased and goes on for when he dies he will carry nothing away will not descend see god don't care if someone's ungodly to be rich yeah we just can be anything i want i just got to be rich before that he was bragging about his
Starting point is 00:25:52 house and then saying there's all these people who are so upset about this money they're they're not afraid of him and many people and the reason i mentioned this is because many people are afraid of the wealthy and powerful governments or people are afraid of the wealthy and powerful governments, or they're afraid of the wealthy and powerful technocrats and billionaires and the CEOs of these multinational corporations. But that's what they trust in. That's what this guy trusts in. And I was truly amazed. I mean, it was like a Trump one Corinthians moment. And that's just a shibboleth.
Starting point is 00:26:26 I mean, you know, they actually do in the UK, they actually say one Corinthians instead of first Corinthians, like we say here. But everybody looking at, oh, he's never, he's never set in church to hear this. It's a shibboleth, right? But the, but, you know, these guys have, this guy has made hundreds of millions of dollars, uh, sheer in the sheep and he's never even read this stuff and he doesn't even know what it's talking about. Uh, and so this whole Psalm 49 is to say, don't fear these rich and powerful people. Why?
Starting point is 00:27:00 Uh, don't be afraid of, uh, the rich when glory of his house is increased for when he dies he'll carry nothing away from him his glory shall not descend after him but while he lives he blesses himself for men praise you when you do well for yourself he shall go to the generation of his fathers and they shall never see light a man who is honor who is in who is in honor yet does not understand is like a beast that perishes. That's him. He doesn't understand. And he says, go to the Amplified Bible. And so, you know, it'll put a lot of synonyms and stuff like that after some words.
Starting point is 00:27:39 And so it puts in there, don't be afraid when one, and it puts in there ungodly is like, um, she looked at it and, and that clip, they zoomed in on her eyes where she goes like, Ooh, Ooh, you're describing yourself as part of the ungodly. Well, um, we're going to take a little break here and i wanted to play for you uh something um that was uh that is a song that actually um just a little bit of this song something that actually um addresses this very thing and the fact that we don't need to fear these people yes they are afraid of us and that tells us that we are not powerless. But we also need to know that our power is not in and of ourselves,
Starting point is 00:28:32 or we become no different than them. No need to fear when times of trouble come. come oppression storm beaks at your door no need to fear no need to fear, though evil seems so strong. Their pride and power is not for long.
Starting point is 00:29:21 Be still, my soul, and trust in God, and place your life into His hands. For He will never fail you And in the morning you'll see His face me to fear. Don't fear. and the sweet sounds of Motown. Find them on the Oldies channel at APSradio.com. © BF-WATCH TV 2021 ¶¶ © BF-WATCH TV 2021 you're listening to the david knight show well i'll tell you where our numbers can be very effective and where it can make a difference and i've seen it and i think that yeah things have changed but i don't think they've changed so much that we still can't have an effect if we do an organized uh contact of our state representatives. Not Congress. Forget about Congress.
Starting point is 00:32:29 You're pushing on a rope with that. Nothing is going to happen in Washington. They're done. You're not going to have any effect in Washington. But Jay and Jessica sent this to me, and I think this is a great way. This is a model letter um send out to people in state representatives and to um have uh legislation to push back on this model state emergency health powers act thing that i've talked about for so long you know that was what they were manipulating Congress to do. They had dark winter simulation.
Starting point is 00:33:06 Many of them knew about it. Biden knew about it. Two months before 9-11, one week after 9-11, they had the false flag anthrax attack. And they were still pushing the idea that this is a bioweapon attack from Iraq and things like that. And then two months after that, they had this model legislation sent out to all the different states and um more than 30 some odd states enacted the majority of what they wanted them to do and then they practiced the germ game for another 20 years and then under trump they rolled all this stuff out and told the governors if you um and they'd given themselves remember the legal power with that model state
Starting point is 00:33:46 health emergency powers act and um so they had given themselves legal power to do something about it trump gave them the money and that's how we got that now that needs to be rolled back and quite frankly you know if we had a massive massive letter writing campaign, we might be able to do something along those lines. And I say that because when I was in North Carolina, I've mentioned this before, it really did astound me because I'm pretty cynical about these people changing anything. And yet we had the teachers union wanted to stomp out homeschooling, which was just beginning. It was in its infancy and there weren't that many of us in North Carolina. And so the very powerful teachers union in a state where all of the state government was controlled by Democrats decided that they were going to stomp out homeschooling.
Starting point is 00:34:39 That was the time they had control of everything and it was just starting. And so the homeschoolers got together and did this massive letter writing campaign to them and scared them because they don't typically get people communicating with them. And we're able to beat that back with a letter writing campaign. Do you think we might be able to do that? It certainly is worth a chance at that, isn't it? To stop this model state emergency health powers act.
Starting point is 00:35:06 We need to do something. So that's a great idea. Thank you, um, Jay and Jessica. We need to do something with that. Uh, but let's talk about the war. This is something that we don't have a great deal of effect about except, uh, to pray about it. And that has an effect. God can turn the hearts of these leaders like diverting water, and he can remove them if necessary. And so that's really the only thing that we've got. People say, well, I haven't got anything left but a prayer. Well, that's the most effective thing that you can do with most things, even with small problems in your life,
Starting point is 00:35:43 but certainly when it's something that is out of your reach. And when we look at what is happening here, this frail, corrupt, dying, cut flower American empire that we have has now lost three Reaper drones, each of them costing $30 million. This is even worse than the M1 Abrams tanks that are being taken out in Ukraine. These $10 million tanks being taken out with $500 drones. Well, here we have Yemen, the Houthis, and the blowfish um but the uh uh the this third world country that we sided with the saudis and decided that we would get involved in their war i'm not saying who's right um the head chopping saudis or the marxist iranian hoodies i as far as i'm concerned i look at look at it and I don't have a dog in that fight, quite frankly.
Starting point is 00:36:45 But we put our dogs in the fight. And we got there on the side of the Saudis and continued to try to, and very effectively, starved that country, bombed that country. And you think that a third world country that we'd been starving and bombing for quite some time would not be able to do this kind of stuff. And yet they are a big threat to shipping now. They're able to hit a British ship. They're able to take down three of these Reaper drones. The war has killed 377,000 people there in Yemen. With more than half of them dying from starvation from our sanctions,
Starting point is 00:37:29 our lockdowns, if you will. Right? And I said that from the very beginning, too. I said, how dare Donald Trump tell us that we are nonessential? How dare him do sanctions on his own people? That globalist traitor. I saw a new double haters haters is what they call people who won't vote for trump or biden or and they mentioned rfk it's like well wait a minute that's three it's like monty bison you know we we have two main weapons the The names of three. I mean, three main weapons in the Spanish Inquisition.
Starting point is 00:38:07 Well, we've got triple haters. I'm not voting for any of those guys. But because, you know, both of them put sanctions on us. Sanctions on us. That's what those lockdowns were. They were economic sanctions that they put on us. So the United States has dropped a billion dollars over a billion dollars in ammunition bombs and things like that on yemen we have starved about 180 000 of them to death
Starting point is 00:38:38 uh the hooties uh said that they hit a brit British-owned oil tanker with missiles, the Andromeda Star. They began targeting British and American commercial shipping after the U.S. and the U.K. started bombing Yemen on January the 12th. The Yemeni group initially said it only targeted Israeli-linked shipping to protest the siege on Gaza. But then we get involved in it. So now they're shooting any, uh, us and UK things and they've hit a British ship. Hundreds of us and British missile strikes on Yemen have done nothing to deter the hooties who thieves maybe, I don't know, uh, who insists the campaign will only stop once there's a ceasefire in Gaza? But the U.S. has backed a brutal Saudi UAE, United Arab Emirates and the Saudis, had a war against the Houthis.
Starting point is 00:39:33 From 2015, it began with Obama. And then it continued. It went from 2015 to 2022. And so out of those seven years, four of them were under Trump. Mr. Peacemaker. Yeah. Uh, involved heavy airstrikes and blockades. And the hoodies only became more of a capable fighting force during that time.
Starting point is 00:40:05 Wow. So, um, seems like it's, uh, another one of these wars that we get in asymmetric. That doesn't seem to be working too well. Yeah. I mentioned the, uh, M1 Abrams tanks that are being taken out in Ukraine. Uh, Russia released a footage yesterday showing, um um it's kind of a trophy footage showing them taking out an m1 abrams tank and then showing them towing the destroyed tank because they're going to take it to moscow and put it on display
Starting point is 00:40:37 they are going to be doing that with a lot of destroyed equipment there you go there's the video people can see that happening there. You can leave that up while I talk. A video apparently filmed from a drone shows the Abrams tank being hit on the side with a large pillar of fire immediately erupting from the top of the vehicle. Three Ukrainian crew members are seen exiting the burning tank and crawling away from the danger zone. The Abrams crew is normally four.
Starting point is 00:41:04 It's unclear what happened to the remaining service member. I don't think it's unclear at all. A clip of the tank then being towed to the rear. A Russian group spokesperson, they call it the Center Group, Alexander Savchuk, said the U.S.-made armor would be displayed at a major trophy show in Moscow, which will also feature dozens of other Western made heavy vehicles captured during the conflict. The U.S. has sent Ukraine a total of 31 M1 Abrams tanks. According to New York Times,
Starting point is 00:41:40 as of late April, Moscow has taken out at least five, with three more moderately damaged, most reportedly hit by Russian kamikaze drones. Well, I don't know what moderately damaged means, but if it's out of commission, because they've got to repair this thing, that means they've taken out a quarter of them
Starting point is 00:41:59 in a short period of time. As I said at the very beginning, well, you've got your vaunted expensive tanks, but they'll burn just like all the rest of them do. And of course, there's now a lot of back and forth in the media. People posting Russian losses, Russians posting Ukrainian losses. The Washington Post actually talked about ukrainian losses they said ukraine is running out of troops for the u.s to train now you have the sun which is owned by the murdoch family rupert
Starting point is 00:42:36 murdoch and the fox people they put out a their casualty list for russians and that was put out their casualty list for Russians, and that was put out by Drudge and mainstream media. What they were saying was that Moscow has lost 400,000 troops, 3,000 tanks, 500 aircraft, etc. The thing that I thought was most interesting about the Rupert Murdoch article, the Murdoch group or whatever you want to call it, was the fact that they said, well, we think that Russia's only got enough for two more years. So then what? You're going to continue to fight them and you think that you can take this out? Chris Christie was saying, hey, you know, we've taken out half of the Russian equipment, so we need to keep this up.
Starting point is 00:43:27 This is a good investment for us. We're using the Ukrainians are fighting and dying for us while we can destroy Russian military equipment. For what purpose? What's the purpose? Why did they do the coup in Ukraine? Why did they have a civil war where they shelled civilian population for eight years? And why do they keep pressing and pressing and pressing to take out russia
Starting point is 00:43:48 it's because of their geopolitical goals that's what they're pushing us into and so what happens when you take out the last russian tank and they still got nuclear weapons then what do you do as a matter of fact there is a a lot of push about Biden saying, well, I'm going to sign this agreement with Ukraine to keep us involved in this war for 10 years. 10 years? They're not interested in coming to any peace agreements. They don't want to stop any of this. They're perfectly fine to kill Russians and Ukrainians. You know, when you look at what kind of law is, this is tremendous, right? 450,000 soldiers. Nevertheless, what did the Russians take in World War II?
Starting point is 00:44:35 As Gerald Slinty had said from the very beginning, he said, you think you're going to beat these people? Look at how they absorbed all this stuff. And, you know, you can go back to the napoleonic wars but more recently and in the memory of most russians there in world war ii when hitler attacked they had 8.6 million military casualties 13.7 million civilian casualties 24 million i'm sorry 21 million altogether and um the total population of ukraine is 37 million you know how's this thing going to work out as um the retired military colonel douglas mcgregor said this was obvious from the very beginning. This is like saying that you've got a war between Mexico and America,
Starting point is 00:45:28 and you're going to bet on Mexico? I mean, just the sheer size of the economy. And when you look at this and say, well, they've only got two more years of weapons there, they're outproducing the U.S. and Europe in terms of munitions, in terms of shells and things like that. This is absolutely insane. It truly is. The Washington Post said, we are seeing a depletion of the personnel pipeline on the Ukrainian side.
Starting point is 00:45:58 Zelensky insisted in February that his forces had suffered only 31,000 fatalities in two years of fighting. American and Ukrainian officials know this figure is a gross understatement, says the Washington Post. But they admitted that Zelensky must find a way to inspire more Ukrainian men to come to the front line, so said one U.S. source. That's okay if you lie. I mean, this is wartime. Truth is the first casualty.
Starting point is 00:46:21 So, yeah, he's going to lie about casualties. A Ukrainian lawmaker said, we see so many deaths so many wounded if they go troops want to know how long will they be there until you die until your country is destroyed as Alexei Arestovich pointed out he said in three years and it was in three years he said in 2019 after the zlinski got elected on a platform of peace he said well um he was the representative to the peace talks and the reporter asked him um so is there any chance he goes not a chance no chance for peace he says matter of fact it's going to get worse. And in three years, in 2022, we will be invaded by the Russians. Oh, this is horrible, she said.
Starting point is 00:47:07 He goes, oh, the country will be havoced. There'll be nothing left. She said, that's horrible. He said, but the good news is we get to get into NATO. And so he was somebody who was just cold-blooded candor. I mean, he didn't even try to sugarcoat anything. He got kicked out of this administration when there were some cruise missiles from the Russians that veered into a civilian building, and he told the truth about that, too.
Starting point is 00:47:40 He said, yeah, they weren't targeting the building. They were hit by ground fire, and then they veered off course and went into that building. So they fired him because they had a narrative out there saying the Russians are targeting civilian buildings like the Zelensky administration had done in Donbass and other areas. So they kicked him out, but he's back. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, Ukraine lost more than 160,000 troops during last summer's counteroffensive, out of nearly a half million during the entire conflict to date. Zelensky's former presidential advisor, Alexei Arestovich, has claimed that Ukraine has lost up to 300,000 men so far. I would go with that figure.
Starting point is 00:48:26 He may be a cold-blooded killer. He may have absolutely no regard for his own people, but he'll tell you the unvarnished truth. He really doesn't care. So Biden is trying to prevent a future president. Who would that be? Trump from ending the Ukraine war by putting in place a 10-year agreement.
Starting point is 00:48:48 Okay, well, let's understand that these agreements, just like the Paris Climate Accord or these other things, if they're not ratified by the Senate, they're not worth the paper they're written on. And any president could remove that. However, this will be effective if Trump becomes president because Trump will cow back and he will not do anything about it. That will be his excuse. That'll be Trump's excuse not to take on the military industrial complex. That'll be Trump's excuse not to take on NATO. He'll whine and complain about how unfair it is and how they tied his hands and all the rest of this pure Bolshevik stuff that he threw at us in the first term. But he won't do a thing. And we know because we've seen all this
Starting point is 00:49:32 stuff before. We've seen it with the Paris Accord. We've seen it with DACA, for example. DACA, an executive order from the Obama administration, his head of Homeland Security said that she was not going to enforce the law. That's what it means. Deferred action on childhood arrivals. I'm going to defer enforcing the law. Well, you don't have the authority to do that. So it was an invalid executive order to begin with. But it was simply an order from the previous president.
Starting point is 00:50:04 And Trump could have easily have instead he said well let me ask the courts if i can do this and he played that game and the court said no you can't do it oh okay well my hands are tied i can't do it that's what he'll do with this as well this is not going to change between trump and biden regardless of who gets there. This 10-year agreement is not to bind Trump to anything. It is to give him an alibi to do nothing. Folks, they're on the same team. They're controlled by the same people. Yes, there are factions competing.
Starting point is 00:50:40 It's a Game of Thrones. They very much want to get the other guy out, and they want to to get in and the same thing is true of their masters in the cia there are you know the cia is not monolithic you got people like brennan and clapper and of that ilk on one side and on the other side you've got people like steve pachinik and jack posobiet and you know others that are not very well seen but you've got people in the intelligence community that are hard right just like you got people who are hard left and so um you know those are some of the ones that we've seen that are out there in the media pushing disinformation so trump will do nothing uh so this is an agreement that would last for
Starting point is 00:51:23 10 years remember earlier earlier I said, you know, they're saying, well, I think Russia is going to be out of conventional arms in two years. Well, then what? Nuclear arms? Is that what happens? Is that the plan? You're going to go for 10 years in this war and no nukes in that amount of time? Is that what we're supposed to believe? So Biden indicated that it will likely include agreements on long-term support centering on military hardware and joint arms production uh so yeah trump is not going to get out of that that'll be his excuse the wall street journal said the goal is last year said the goal is to make sure that Ukraine will be strong enough in the future
Starting point is 00:52:05 to deter Russia from attacking it again. More immediately, Ukraine's Western allies hope to discourage the Kremlin from thinking that it can wait out the Biden administration for a potentially more sympathetic successor at the White House. And so, again, we're going to have him pretend that he can't do anything at all about this. The U.S. and the U.K. are pushing for total war on all fronts, says a political analyst at RT. And I think we can see that. If they're not interested in peace talks, if they shut them down, if they never mention it and on all fronts what he means is um whether you're talking
Starting point is 00:52:46 about iran and israel whether you're talking about china and taiwan or whether you're talking about russia and ukraine we want to be involved in all of those uh u.s house speaker mike johnson did a complete 180 on ukraine he proclaimed himself to be a Reagan Republican? No, he's a quizzling Republican. Look, I regard myself as a wartime speaker. I mean, in a literal sense, we are. I knew that when I took the gavel. I didn't anticipate that this would be an easy path.
Starting point is 00:53:20 Former Speaker Newt Gingrich posted a couple days ago on his social media that this is the hardest challenge that's faced a speaker probably in the history of the country in the moment we're in right now. He said arguably may be comparable to the Civil War, but maybe worse. Yeah, well, maybe worse. With any luck, we can make it worse, right? So what's going to happen if, let's say there's an EMP? That's the easy thing, easy thing for anybody to do.
Starting point is 00:53:46 It really is. Um, you know, close only counts as they say in horseshoes and nuclear war. Um, but you don't even have to be close with an EMP. It just exploded in the atmosphere. Well, here, here's a few dozen things here that, that might happen. 24 things that'll occur if a country is hit with an emp i'll just read the the different things off real quickly here uh one number one no electricity a supply chain breakdown transportation services
Starting point is 00:54:18 disrupted data loss medical services impacted. Infrastructure breakdown. Communication services shut down. Vehicles shutting down because of the electronics inside of them. ATMs and banks closing. Fires. A lot of power fires because of backup. No water. Confusion and chaos.
Starting point is 00:54:43 A loss of jobs. Possible economic collapse. No heating or cooling. There we go. Green at last. Green at last. Just say that. These people out there.
Starting point is 00:54:53 Look at this. We finally got our green dystopia here. Intruders and looting. Medication shortage. Medication time. You want your nurse ratchet? No harvest. No harvest no harvest again famine stock market crash empty grocery shelves impassable roads even if you got a working car
Starting point is 00:55:14 no septic system uh planes may be grounded oh you can bet on that. And then long-term effects. But hey, you know, Michael Johnson is up for this because he's a wartime speaker. Aren't we blessed to be led by such a wise man, such a wise man of integrity as Michael Johnson, a wartime speaker to take us into war. Elvis. Ladies and gentlemen, the Beatles. And the sweet sounds of Motown.
Starting point is 00:55:48 Find them on the Oldies channel at APSradio.com. Terima kasih telah menonton! Thank you. I don't know. you're listening to the David night show I wanted to I've got a lot of birthday wishes from people so thank you very much for that as a matter of fact on rock finn dougalug thank you for the for that as a matter of fact uh on rockfin dug a lug thank you for the tip says happy birthday david have a drink on me well thank you very much well for ten dollars i can get a lot of coffee i think with that um keep me awake here uh gregory dish thank you very much he says keeping the gas needle up for the month i think it's better late than never well thank you appreciate that uh yeah i started marshalling the troops a bit late this month, even with all of the extraordinary generosity of people on Friday
Starting point is 00:58:14 and the matching funds from Fay. We're at about seven-eighths, and so I really do appreciate that. Thank you very much. And Guard Goldsmith on Rockfin. Thank you, Guard. He sent a tip he says happy birthday david he said you offer the gift of christ and wisdom a truly gift well thank you have a great day and thank you for everything uh well thank you guard i got your your book um he found a in a used bookstore he found a book about brazil that i've referenced so many times uh it's because it's this dark satire which unfortunately seems to be a blueprint for all the rest of these things what
Starting point is 00:58:53 you're talking about 1984 or brave new world and it was kind of a monty python take on that but from the SWAT teams to the rest of the stuff that's happening, it unfortunately looks like a blueprint. And he found a book on it and sent that to me. So thank you, Gardner. Appreciate that very much. And Eric on Rockfin. Thank you so much for that. I appreciate that.
Starting point is 00:59:16 Well, as I said, this is my birthday, so I wanted to do some things that maybe are not right on the center of all of this. Oh, yeah. Got it. Thank you. Yeah yeah this is the book uh thank you guard appreciate that the battle of brazil the real story of his victory over hollywood and i remember when that happened karen and i went to see it um they did not like uh the fact that he didn't follow the happy ending script for Hollywood. And I think I did hurt him in terms of box office, but he had a movie that he wanted to do.
Starting point is 00:59:51 He had an idea for it and they tried to block it. He held a screening and had a bunch of film critics that he showed the film to, and they voted it the best picture of the year and a battle over, over what was happening and so he got to release that version undeterred they still went back and um they edited a vision a version of it which is called uh love conquers the love conquers all version of it so it just you know it was all just a bad dream and everything is a happy ending and that type of
Starting point is 01:00:25 deal uh so yeah it was interesting what happened with it uh but uh anyway thank you guard i appreciate that and um as i said we're going to uh take a little bit of uh time here to take a look at some of the uh tech follies that are out there. Because when we look at these technocratic overlords, it's good to remind ourselves that they are human just like us. They have feet of clay just like us. They fail at a lot of this stuff. And if God doesn't want them to succeed, they won't succeed.
Starting point is 01:01:07 They trust in their chariots and the horses and their Reaper drones and their M1 Abrams tanks, but God can take those things away. Apple is slashing their Vision Pro shipment projections by 50% as demand for the $3,500 headset craters. Who would have thought it from the very beginning of this? I, I saw this thing and I went hysterical laughing because I remembered Ernie Kovacs and, um, very popular in the early, very, very early days of television. The very, very early days of me, uh, watched him when i was preschool even and uh and i remember he had this character that looked very much like an apple vr headset he was so ahead of his time
Starting point is 01:01:52 he made fun of this guy a poet character that he created he called it the Percy Dove tonsils and he's got his hair slicked down and he's got uh glasses on that have eyes painted on them and so they're kind of projected and lifted off it looks like they're magnified but they're actually kind of in front of him and uh I was absolutely amazed at that when I was a toddler watching it it's like how did he do that you know look at those eyes and that's what you see with the apple vision headset it's taking pictures of your face all the time and tracking your eyes and doing all this stuff and then it projects your eyes onto the vision pro thing the problem is the vision is a few inches away from your face so these these eyes are projected out there like percy dove consult here's what he'd give you an idea
Starting point is 01:02:52 and by the way when you listen to him uh he sounds like milton from the office as well when he does his character so it's like he's wearing a vr headset an apple vr headset from 60 years uh 65 or more years ago he's got an apple vr headset and he's doing a milton impersonation from the office to business why pity the abstainer seems to be quite a bit missing. Yeah, and so he pities the abthener because he's sitting there drinking. Of course, the other character that this Apple headset reminds me of is the movie Steve Martin, the jerk.
Starting point is 01:03:37 And he comes up with this invention and he becomes a millionaire overnight. But then they find out this is glasses the special glasses are actually making everybody cross-eyed and so then everybody in the world sues him and he uh becomes a pauper overnight uh but this is uh what this is the apple vision headset now meanwhile we have um when you look at the the transhumanists kind of on a serious side and you look at the guy nikola tesla who is just worshipped by everybody you know of course elon musk named his car company after took his last name um i mentioned for the longest time you know
Starting point is 01:04:22 he had uh ed Edison stole his inventions. And then final insult is Musk stole his name posthumously. But you had another car company that came out that actually took his first name to reference him. So these technologists really do love Tesla. He was ahead of himself in so many amazing different ways but one of the things is not really talked about with tesla except it was a it's been a thread on substack by a guy named matt errett e-h-r-e-t and he's got a series of articles on substack uh the occult Nikola Tesla. And he's looking at his philosophical beliefs. And they were very occultic by his own profession.
Starting point is 01:05:11 He's a bit of a huckster, a showman, you know, manipulating the crowds to believe in things that were not really happening there as well. This is from Expose News. Rhonda Wilson commented on his column. She said many people played important roles in contributing to the emergence of AI over the years. Few have been credited as being the father of AI. Matt Errett believes those who credit Tesla as the father of AI to be more correct. He had a very particular relationship with robots explicitly considered these to be beings which he called his telomata to be nothing less than a new species that he
Starting point is 01:05:52 himself had evolved as a matter of fact i think he was referring to them as tel automata uh before the term robot came out robot was from a play that was written by some Czech author, and it was the Czech word for slave. He's calling them tel automata. His use of the term to say that I have evolved when describing what he treated as a new species should make anyone aware of the religious cult or transhumanism more than a little bit uncomfortable. As a matter of fact, this is something that he shares with all the people who talk about AI. As I've talked many times about Hugo de Garis, he and other researchers who are secular atheist materialists will say we are creating a godlike intelligence here with artificial intelligence. The question is, is it going to kill us and if it is going to kill us should we continue if there's a risk that
Starting point is 01:06:49 it's going to kill us that type of thing so they really do think that they are creating some kind of godlike intelligence that's the the term that many of them use and yet even though they think that there's a pretty good possibility that that godlike intelligence might turn on them and turn on all of us and squash us like a bug they are determined as a group the vast majority of them when he asked them that question they're determined to move ahead and i guess it's because if you create the godlike intelligence even if it destroys you well then i mean that you're godlike, right? And that's what it's all really about, isn't it? You know, from the Garden of Eden on, it's like,
Starting point is 01:07:30 you'll become like God, you'll live forever. Well, I'll live forever somehow, even if it's my creation that is there. Or maybe I can transfer myself. The ultra-materialist idea, going to transfer yourself into some machine or to some robot as a cyborg or something like that. They don't even have any idea what they are. You know, they're so materialistic, they think that the mind and the soul and the spirit and all the rest of the stuff is something that just kind of spontaneously happens when you get the brain exactly right so they keep trying to make a more exact copy of the brain they have no idea these people well like i said to zoltan isvan i said so you're transhumanist i said so you're
Starting point is 01:08:16 going to um transfer what into a machine as a cyborg what What are you? Do you have any idea? And why do you think that? What evidence do you have for any of that? And so in the occult Nikola Tesla series, Matt Errett gives a narrative of Tesla's life and the dark forces, the occultic forces beneath it. And I would say that that also applies to Elon Musk. When you look at it, he says, you know, when you look at AI, he said, the dispute has raged over what it is.
Starting point is 01:08:56 So you've got two camps. One of them is just looking at it as a regular technological progression. It's going to be an extension of automation and computing, and it will be in the service of human needs. But it will not be capable of replacing human creative reasoning. So that's one group of people, one camp, one line of thought. The other line of thought, he said, is a lot more mystical, Darwinian, occultic.
Starting point is 01:09:24 It's more religiously inclined. And these are people who we talk about as being transhumanists. They tend to treat artificial intelligence, like Elon Musk said, we're going to summon the demon, right? as some kind of a supernatural demonic Darwinian force beyond human control, with free will, with intentions, that compels humanity towards its own extinction. And I think that's kind of interesting, because that's what I see from these people who are secular atheists, whether they embrace that or not. And so the people who would embrace that are people like Ray Kurzweil, Yuval Harari, people who, by the way, seem to have a real contempt for the human race.
Starting point is 01:10:13 And also in that group is Elon Musk, big believer in transhumanism, a big believer in the technocracy. And when you look at the kinds of technology that they put in there, the transhumanism, transferring our conscience into something else that they think, these are people who focus on things like neural chips and brain computer interfaces
Starting point is 01:10:38 and mRNA biotech, because Musk has done that. You know, he was there at the very beginning with his mrna stuff crisper babies uh virtual reality all the rest of this stuff vr uh that is um that is all there and you know when you look at elon musk he talks about summoning the demons and things like that he's very much like bill maher who said said, well, yeah, it is kind of like murder, isn't it? And I'm okay with that.
Starting point is 01:11:08 And these people are saying, well, it is kind of like the end of the human race, and it is this superpower, this godlike intelligence, and I'm okay with that. Really. And then on the other side, you've got people like Ted Kaczynski the unabomber who um you know it's kind of like the sarah connor is trying to take out these these different powers there tesla had a very particular relationship with robots uh says matt errett he considered these to be beings he called his teleautomata uh that he had evolved this not only did tesla believe that he'd evolved a new soulless being as as he believed himself to be.
Starting point is 01:11:47 He believed he didn't have a soul. He didn't know what he is. But he also believed that this new species would provide a total understanding of the machine known as humans. Very smart guy. But God has chosen foolish things in this world to confound the wise, hasn't he? Perhaps most jarring is that Tesla also believed this new specie would help future social engineers better understand how the human machine could be more effectively programmed. So even though a lot of people will say, you know, Boston math, a mathematician, John McCarthy was
Starting point is 01:12:26 the father of all of this, or, um, you know, uh, uh, some other individuals, Alan Turing and some others, uh, are, are that, but, um, uh, this, this person says, well, I think really when you look at Tesla, I think he is probably the best example uh the one who has the most involvement uh in this um in terms of moving it forward you know some people say von neumann who did games and other things like that but i think you could make a case of it and when you look at his first machine uh it was remote controlled and uh he would put this thing up and um it was this floating thing that was in a vat and it kind of looked like a you know floating piece of metal and he would ask the audience to ask it mathematical questions and then he would give the answers
Starting point is 01:13:20 and they couldn't figure out how this was happening because he had an assistant who had a remote control in his pocket they'd never seen anything like remote control so he's he's very advanced he's got a remote control in the 18 in 1898 uh and yet um you know a lot of um it's a black box with flashing lights and he's fooling the people there uh and uh this author draws a comparison to um elon musk having a human dressed in a robot suit or you could uh talk about the cyber trucks that would be another example of this in a 1900 article tesla wrote of his new evolved machine he said the art that i have evolved does not contemplate merely the change of direction of a moving vessel. It affords a means, because that's what he had was this thing in a tank,
Starting point is 01:14:13 and he could move it around or he could answer mathematical questions with a flashing light. It affords means of absolutely controlling in every respect the innumerable transitory movements as well as the operations of all internal organs. And so again, he reduces man to nothing other than the material stuff that he can observe. Very naive approach, actually. So he says, remember that Tesla believes in all humans, including himself, are automatons, meaning that he believes that future creator alpha machines like him will inevitably act as a master race the higher automata to the lower automata that will be programmed on this point tesla directly stated i am proving constantly by every thought and
Starting point is 01:14:58 act of mine that i'm nothing more than an automaton, responding to external stimuli and passing through an infinitude of different existences, from cradle to grave. Well, in that regard, he doesn't mention this in this article, but in that regard, I see him as connected to B.F. Skinner, who believed that we were simply auto Mata or whatever that could be programmed with different,
Starting point is 01:15:29 um, um, training things just like any animal could. And of course, BF Skinner came up with masterful tactics to program animals rather than, you know, punish them. Them.
Starting point is 01:15:41 If they got the wrong thing, he gave them a positive operant conditioning to get dolphins and all kinds of lesser intelligent animals to be able to train them with tricks and that type of thing. But he was very adamant. B.F. Skinner was very adamant that we don't have freedom and we don't have dignity. That human beings are nothing more than animals or robots. And, you know, when we look at this, I guess many of us would be tempted to say that based on what we saw in 2020, where they took away our freedom with lockdowns, they took away our dignity with masks, but many of us never went for that.
Starting point is 01:16:24 And there's something else that is involved here yes each and every one of us has a materialistic animalistic side that can be manipulated and the people who do not choose to do something with their spirit can have their mind and body controlled by these people but we're not like. We don't have to be like that. That is not the way that we have to live. There is no control they exercise over us if we're connected to God. And that is not going to be the way that we are going to live. And we ought to be confident about that. But they are working very hard to completely alter society and this has been going on for a very long time the universal basic income that uh trump moved the overton window to with his sanctions his
Starting point is 01:17:13 lockdowns his stimulus checks and all the rest of this stuff they've been talking i've been talking about that for years and you go back into the mid-2000 and South Korea was talking about how, uh, what percentage of different professions were going to lose their job to artificial intelligence or to robotics or a combination of those two. Interestingly enough, even before chat GPT, they decided that it was going to be white collar jobs like doctors and lawyers that were going to have the highest unemployment, they're going to lose something like 70-something percent, whereas people working in factories is going to be 50% unemployment for them. That's the future that they're trying to design for us.
Starting point is 01:17:53 And when we look at what Gavin Newsom is doing in California, I said from the very beginning, yes, people look at the economic consequences and the folly of minimum wage, but I said there's something else happening here. This is not simply another Democrat naively trying to give everybody a sugar high with a temporary increase in their wages until the effects kick in and the prices of everything go up. He only did it to fast food chains, to large fast food chains. And I said at the time that the purpose was so that these people would bring in robots. Now,
Starting point is 01:18:33 here's a robot. This one is coming out of China. Here it is doing all kinds of kitchen tests. There it is flipping pancakes, doing a really good job of that. Cooking, slicing, dicing, all the rest of the stuff, serving people, opening up bottles and all the rest of this stuff. I said at the time, and I still believe even more so now, that for him to move against simply the fast food restaurants was a way to financially incentivize them to replace people with robots. Because he's got a lot of tech companies in California. They will always tell you that they're there for the working man.
Starting point is 01:19:15 They're there for the middle class. No, they're not. They're there for the elites. And the elites that he's there for are going to be the people in Silicon Valley producing AI and robotics. Here it is folding a shirt. I'm going to smooth it out. Oh, isn't that nice? Don't you want to have one of these in your home?
Starting point is 01:19:32 Well, actually, no. Here it is building a wooden stool. There we are. It's great. Watering your flowers for you. Plugging in your lamp. Vacuuming. Truly is amazing.
Starting point is 01:19:47 Now, that is out of China, not out of Silicon Valley. But, of course, I think that is why Gavin Newsom gave a big raise. Oh, by the way, look at this. Now, it says down there that is move that clock down a little bit for me, Travis. It says that there is no teleoperation. Here's teleoperation. It's following the moves of this guy. Now, what it may be doing is watching him instead of having him wired up, uh, which is the way they used to wait. Disney used to areas,
Starting point is 01:20:18 writing a Chinese characters. Uh, that's the way that Disney used to train, you know, um, um, hall of presidents and stuff like that uh they would have somebody that was all wired up and it would memorize those movements that might have been it still had that there so it may have been looking visually at him and uh you know doing the harpo marks lucille ball thing know. We move the hands in different ways. Anyway, in Tesla's 1937 remarks to George Sylvester V. Reich, he said, what we call soul or spirit is nothing more than the sum of the functioning of the body.
Starting point is 01:21:02 When this functioning ceases, the soul or the spirit ceases likewise. Well, where'd it come from? Where'd it come from? You know, if it's something that just spontaneously happened, why does it go away? You know, what is that spark of life? They can't answer that.
Starting point is 01:21:20 I mean, all of the stuff is still there. I've used the analogy about evolution many times as well. So, you know, I got a mosquito is still there. I've used the analogy about evolution many times as well. So, you know, I got a mosquito on my hand and I smash it. Well, all the components are still there. You know, you've got all of the different components to make a mosquito right there. How did it get assembled? You know, we're supposedly, we came from a goo.
Starting point is 01:21:40 Well, how did that happen? And why isn't that mosquito going to self-reassemble into a mosquito? What is it that is a spark of life? They don't have any answer for that. The Bible does. And if you stop and think about how everything is designed, isn't it amazing that somebody as smart as Tesla can't see the design in the universe, can't see the design in the body, that he can look at a car, for example, something far more simple, and just think that that evolved. Would he ever say that? Of course not. He's blinded by his rejection of God. He would never have looked at a complicated,
Starting point is 01:22:16 so they didn't have cars at that point in time, I guess. Maybe Mercedes had done a horseless carriage or something. But he would never look at a complicated machine and just say, that just happened. Nobody built that. And yet he would look at the human body or an animal's body or the celestial bodies and he would think that uh that all just happened by chance that's foolish the fool has said in his heart there is is no God. So his philosophy of robotics, his disdain for free will, just like B.F. Skinner, hated freedom, hated dignity. His transhumanist proclivities are all deep causes for concern. And we see that in all these people. You see it.
Starting point is 01:22:59 Musk worships this guy. Musk's grandfather was tied to technocrats he loved the technocracy tried to overthrow the canadian government and instill a technocracy he got off from the charges and then he went to south africa but that's where musk comes from and even his profile picture is a baphomet costume uh with a you know upside down cross on it and all this other satanic symbols. I mean, you have to look at that with Elon Musk and you have to say, uh, like the guy in the British skit, uh, to the other German soldier, you know, they're Nazis. And he says, Hans, are we the bad guys? Why do we got skulls on our uniforms and everything?
Starting point is 01:23:43 That's silly. You look at Elon Musk and you have to ask that question. So, you know, nothing to be concerned about, right? And yet we do have a startup that is now using artificial intelligence to edit human DNA. Oh, they want to create the world's first open source AI generated DNA gene editor. What happens when it hallucinates? And the idea behind this Berkeley based startup called Pro Fluent says that they want to make it more available. They want to let everybody have a chance at editing human DNA and other dna so what could possibly go wrong with that right let's let's democratize
Starting point is 01:24:30 this let's let everybody a chance to alter the code that god has put in because you know hey we know so much better than god what things should look like uh they have new editors that are based on CRISPR, but they are going to open it up to everybody. And the rationale for all this, you look at this and say, why would anybody do that? What is the point? Well, it's there to ward off disease and other pathogens. There we go.
Starting point is 01:25:00 More tech bioterror. That's what we're talking about. Pro Fluent claims have already used one of these ai generated gene editors they call it open crisper one to edit human dna company says it's the world's first open source ai generated gene editor uh we want to spur innovation they want to spur innovation and living things. And democratization and gene editing. Let everybody do it.
Starting point is 01:25:31 Yeah. We all should have one of these little labs in our, you know, in our home where we can sit there and start modifying living things to find out what happens. With a goal of pulling us, pulling the future forward, pulling the future forward. Experts told the New York times, what's really holding back the field of gene editing is a number of pre
Starting point is 01:25:54 clinical studies to show if these edits are safe and effective. Who cares? I mean, just determined they don't care about that. They don't care about safety or efficacy. The more dangerous, the better. Let's go faster and faster.
Starting point is 01:26:07 Let's pull the future forward at warp speed. That's what we want. We want to go into the future faster. Korean neuroscientists are using artificial intelligence to decode people's dreams and their spontaneous thoughts. You see, your DNA, your thoughts, your dreams, nothing is hidden from these people. They want to know everything about you. They want to be like God, right?
Starting point is 01:26:33 Because God is omniscient. He knows everything about everybody. He's always present everywhere, just like Big Brother. And he's all-powerful, omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient. They want to be God, these tyrants. They demonstrated the possibility of using functional MRI, magnetic resonance imaging, and machine learning algorithms to predict subjective feelings and people's thoughts while reading stories. Because spontaneous thought typically occurs without any constraint or consciousness.
Starting point is 01:27:08 Researching it poses a challenge. Even simply asking individuals what they're currently thinking can change the nature of their thoughts. It's kind of like the Heisenberg principle. You go in and you observe something. Well, now you've changed it. Quantum mechanics and stuff. That's what's happening with us so it makes it really
Starting point is 01:27:25 difficult for them to figure out what you're thinking why do they want to do this why do governments again because they want to be like god because they want to be totalitarian tyrants participants engaged in a one-on-one interview to craft personalized narrative stimuli reflecting on their past experiences and emotions while participants read their stories inside the mri scanner their brain activity was recorded what's this remind you of it reminds me of um blade runner where they get that guy there for an interview and he says so you're you're in the desert and there's a tortoise and you turn it over on his back and it can't get over and it's kicking there and in the sun it's
Starting point is 01:28:09 miserable uh why don't you help what are you talking about what is a tortoise i don't know what's that turtle it's a turtle you know it's a replicant guy that is getting that interview that's the kind of stuff that they're doing Everybody is a test subject for these people. It truly is amazing. And yet they are not concerned about any of the consequences. The study holds significance as we decoded the emotional state associated with general thoughts rather than targeting emotions limited to specific tasks. And again, why do they want to know your thoughts? Well, because we're talking about government and government needs to know everything, everything about us while they keep everything from us.
Starting point is 01:29:00 We just recently had in Tennessee a law to, and of course in New Hampshire as well, and I think there's a couple of other places where they have put this up, said, if you're going to spray anything in the atmosphere, anything, you need to tell us or we're going to hit you with big fines. And so you had a lot of these people who had always been saying, well, you know, geoengineering and chemtrails, that's all just a conspiracy theory. And some people were mocking Tennessee. Look at these people in Tennessee. They are thinking all this stuff is happening in New Hampshire.
Starting point is 01:29:33 And yet, now you've got a scientist who is slamming the politicians for banning the geoengineering experiments. See, it goes immediately from conspiracy theory to you're getting in the way of our scientific experiments. They admit it and say it was a good thing. In an editorial for MIT Tech Review, Cornell's Danielle Vigioni, got that vision thing, wrote that even as researchers and governments begin studying and sometimes conducting early stage tests, various geoengineering prospects often seed the clouds to spur on rain, to dry out the stratosphere, or to reflect sunlight away from the ground below. Some critics are calling to shut these experiments down.
Starting point is 01:30:17 More than a decade. I was talking about the fact they had annual geoengineering things where they were talking about the best ways to do it. Their big concern was who gets to set the thermostat? You know, the Russians may want it warmer. People in southern climates may want it colder, that type of thing. Who gets to set the thermostat? As Vigioni notes, politicians have already begun banning geoengineering experiments. Mexico did it. More recently, Tennessee's governor signed a bill into law that bars it under the pretense of so-called chemtrails.
Starting point is 01:30:52 Yeah, these people mocked it. And now they're whining that we're stopping what they said was not existing. Uh, it turns out that, uh, as you look at some of the stuff that was not existing, I've played the clips for you of Sora, the, um, chat GPT video creator and some very creative stuff that was done. And yet one of the most, uh, interesting demos that It was there. Turns out it was highly edited by humans. It wasn't completely generated by this chat GPT stuff. I love the comment here from the author of this article. As the saying goes, never trust a tech demo. Why?
Starting point is 01:31:40 Because the technology people are going to be lying to you. And that apparently is the case with Sam Altman and the people that work with and for him. At least one of these viral Sora clips, a roughly two-minute video that was titled Airhead, which is so impressive that we blogged about it at the time, had a bit more human mitigation than OpenAI initially suggested. And one person exposed it on Twitter said, remember that Airhead video that was made with sora turns out it used a ton of rotoscoping and manual visual special effects a head would
Starting point is 01:32:14 pop back on and the balloon colors would keep changing from generation to generation but they were doing that manually manually uh tesla by the way uh you look at the downturn that's happened in evs uh this is uh one person nico marillo a dedicated tesla employee last year the production supervisor did not go home instead he slept inside his car in the factory parking lot and he ate microwave meals just so that he could help meet production goals. And he's just been 14,000 workers worldwide. He was a resident in California. He wrote how he had logged on to his company account April the 15th and found that it was deactivated. He thought, well, this is a tech issue.
Starting point is 01:33:20 He didn't even know. Nobody talked about this. Nobody from human resources because, you know, Elon Musk likes robots, not humans so much, I guess. So he drove to the Fremont factory, but on the way there, he received an unsettling email while driving his Tesla vehicle on autopilot informing him that your position has been eliminated by restructuring. Well, I guess that's good that he had autopilot so he can sit there and read email and not drive his car into the ditch sometimes autopilot
Starting point is 01:33:50 does that anyway after trying to get in to the factory he was turned away by security who told him that he was laid off he said I set in my car in disbelief it worked for Tesla since 2019 Another Tesla employee in comments had similar experience sleeping at the company factory. I started as a production associate after putting in the work and learning different positions and skills and different departments across three different factories, sacrificing sleep, staying in my car in the parking lot, showering, heating up dinners in the microwave. Similar to you, I got a position as a has waste tech. Same day I started that position.
Starting point is 01:34:30 I got an email that my position had been terminated. Well, you know, that's the way it works. These guys, whether you're talking about Elon Musk firing these people, you're talking about Jeff Bezos pushing his employees so hard that they've got to have a bottle with them at their station because they don't have time to go to the bathroom. Or I had a friend who actually worked for Steve Jobs at Apple. He was a Macintosh fanatic, so two of us met along those lines. And he was at an apartment complex. He put up a sign on the Mac.
Starting point is 01:35:04 He says, you know what one of these are? Give me a call. along those lines and he was at an apartment complex he put up a sign on the mac he says you know what one of these are give me a call and he and i were really into programming these things and so he got a job as uh an act uh an apple tech and um it was up in pittsburgh for a while and then they took him to the corporate offices and um it was one of the system seven operating systems i think anyway he was one of the top three guys and he did that for a couple of years and he was so burned out at the end of that time that he resigned and he walked the appalachian trail for the better part of a year a lot of pressure And these guys don't care, right? They, they don't treat people as human beings.
Starting point is 01:35:48 These are the people who want to control the world and we'll use, you know, it's a partnership that they've got a public private partnership. They have with these, um, these NGOs, the world economic forum in the UN and all these different, uh, government, uh government figureheads like Trump and Biden. They empower these types of people. And it is this symbiotic relationship of parasites to prey on us. That's what it is. And so then let's take a look at this video here.
Starting point is 01:36:21 This is a robo taxi in India. And, um, they, the company that put this together is actually bragging about it. They think this is a good job of driving. It is very chaotic. There is very narrow roads, dirt roads, holes in the road. Uh, you got people all over the place driving. And, um, um you know typically people it's a difficult thing to to drive in there's no rules and there's no lines and all the rest of
Starting point is 01:36:51 this stuff uh he says if you're able to do this here you can do it anywhere you know like new york new york if i can make it there i can make it anywhere if we can have a robo taxi that can drive in this kind of environment in india then i guess you can do it anywhere here he is now he's supposed to be on the left side of the road oh he just realized that i guess he's all these people are having to break for him right this is the self-driving car and if it wasn't for all the humans in the other car there would be an accident because they're the ones that are making the quick reaction responses to this thing it's running people off the road it's coming out to them head-on look at this this person has to
Starting point is 01:37:31 pull off to the side off the road beep the horn at him and the traffic is backing up behind this car there's a motorcycle managed to get around this guy look that. Almost did a head-on collision with that one. Truly is when you look at this. And they think that this is a win. He was all the way over to the wrong side of the road. Anyway, as they call it, they say it is
Starting point is 01:37:57 Waymo terrifying. Like the self-driving taxi. An Indian startup company that is there uh sway yacht robots striving through absolute chaos on a suburban unstructured roads in india nearly sideswiped that car and making the chaos even worse the white suv isn't afraid to veer into the path of oncoming traffic. Is it doing that out of fearlessness or is it doing that because it's not driving very well?
Starting point is 01:38:31 Forcing the other drivers to swerve around it. But to the company, that terrifying behavior is entirely intentional. There's no traffic rules to abide by on this road other than to perform a left-sided avoidance. In other words, they're driving on the left side of the road so try not to hit anything uh head on uh is it an impressive feat of engineering or is it a disaster waiting to happen i guess that is the key i think a lot of those drivers who are braking hard and honking they may think that it was a disaster about ready to happen on rumble Sam jam blam thank you very much for the for the tip says happy birthday thank you and Delta Mike thank you as well also says happy birthday says a grace and peace
Starting point is 01:39:18 yeah as a matter of fact let's play that let's we take a quick break, and we'll come back with what I call Grace and Peace. Sometimes your day needs a little smoothing. Check out the Jazz Channel at APSradio.com and the APS Radio app and leave the stress behind. © BF-WATCH TV 2021 You're listening to The David Knight Show. Well, while we were looking at the way more terrifying robo-taxis that they have in India, Ford loses $1. billion dollars on electric vehicles in the first quarter of 2024 by the way uh while we're talking about automated cars somebody put up a video of uh one of the waymo cars in san francisco driving on the wrong side of the road adamantly doing it in order to pass up some people who were on some of these big
Starting point is 01:41:06 wheel things, um, that you stand on and lean. And, uh, it wasn't moving fast enough for this slow moving robo car. But when you look at Ford lost 1.3 billion and I had somebody correct me on, uh, you know, a couple of different things. I've been, uh, really swapping out millions and billions and trillions and uh they corrected me on that we'll get to that in just a moment when we talk about money but yeah this is with a b 1.3 billion they're losing 132 000 on each electric vehicle that they sell how do you do that i mean their electric vehicles are incredibly
Starting point is 01:41:42 expensive to start with uh what are they going to do sell these uh trucks these pickup trucks for a quarter of a million dollars in order to make a profit on them uh so the and and it really hasn't the bloodletting really hasn't started yet because china is so efficient because they've got slave labor but especially because they've got slave labor, but especially because they've got a big advantage in the cost of energy. And that's a big deal with manufacturing. And because they have access to raw materials and other things like that, they're starting to cut the prices and a price war on this stuff.
Starting point is 01:42:19 So it's only going to get worse. Price war is now just now starting americans don't want evs at the levels of biden's climate hysteria require says andy pudsner on x ford's ev quarter one losses soared to 1.3 billion a ridiculous 132 000 loss per ev sold all of ford's profits came from internal combustion engine vehicle sales. Collectivist policies destroy prosperity, and they do it by design. This is their intention. They meant to do this. Another person says, well, this does not appear to be sustainable.
Starting point is 01:43:00 And they don't want to sustain the private ownership of cars. They pointed out in this article on what's up with that. They said not too many people know that Henry Ford and Thomas Edison were good friends. And they worked together to develop an electric automobile back in the day. But you know, the problem is they're not. Henry Ford and Thomas Edison were not nearly as smart as Biden and Carrie and Pete Boudier. They're so much smarter than those guys. They're going to be able to fix this.
Starting point is 01:43:34 All right. So the problem with Henry Ford and Thomas Edison, they were just engineers. These guys are politicians and they know that you can just make things appear out of nowhere. I mean, they do it with their money all the time, don't they? These guys are politicians and they know that you can just make things appear out of nowhere. I mean, they do it with their money all the time, don't they? And so they can just write rules and regulations and presto digito. People like Henry Ford and Thomas Edison make this into reality. So, you know, when you look at that video, what happened to the electric car?
Starting point is 01:44:02 It's amazing how that thing went around. i had so many people showing that video to me recommending that video to me 15 20 years ago it was kind of like the uncle tom's cabin of electric vehicles it was the thing that motivated everybody you know oh we got to have electric cars it's a conspiracy to get rid of the electric cars well here's what failed with henry ford and thomas edison when they worked together to of the electric car. Well, here's what failed with Henry Ford and Thomas Edison when they worked together to create an electric car. Edison's batteries were found to have very high internal resistance and were thus incapable of powering an electric car under most circumstances.
Starting point is 01:44:40 It was the battery that killed the electric car. Same thing is killing it today. Heavier lead acid batteries, which would have made the car too ponderous, were substituted behind Henry Ford's back. And when he found out, he went ballistic and he shut the project down. So again, their batteries didn't work. They tried to fake it with the kind of batteries that have been used always now in internal combustion engines, lead acid batteries. Ford invested $1.5 million in the electric car project. He nearly bought 100,000 batteries from Edison before the project fell apart. Well, he was lucky because, you know, even if this is before the Federal Reserve killed like 99% of the purchasing power of the dollar.
Starting point is 01:45:28 So let's multiply it by 100 times, right? So let's say $150 million. He still only lost about a tenth of what Ford Motor Company lost on EVs. So he lucked out. He was much smarter than the people running for today well we have cheaper teslas well china says you ain't seen nothing yet they're getting ready to start a blood war and so all these people who you know uh you know i'm not a trump fan but all of this nonsense when he said it's going to be you bloodbath. He's talking about this. Talking about the fact that there's absolutely no way that we can compete with the Chinese on these electric vehicles.
Starting point is 01:46:11 Because of Paris. Because of the Paris Climate Accord. The cheap power that has been given to them. Their advantage. We're not even going to be allowed enough power under the Paris Climate climate accord which trump left in we are not going to have enough power to even run our own evs let alone manufacture them we're not even going to be able to run what we got they're going to use your car if you get an ev they're going to use it as an extra battery sorry you can't drive it we've got to suck the juice out of it hook it up
Starting point is 01:46:41 that type of thing tesla chief executive elon Elon Musk said last week that it is accelerating the launch of more affordable models ahead of the original plan to do it in late 2025. So they're working with the Chinese. They're going to perhaps move their production there. Maybe that's why he's laying off the people who have been so dedicated sleeping in their cars working around the clock now they're going to be replaced with chinese cheap labor um and so again as i mentioned earlier the self-driving waymo that was a spot spotted going down the wrong side of the street in san francisco i wonder if like you know um jeff bezos his Amazon stores, they had the just walk out grocery stores. You just grab stuff and just walk out.
Starting point is 01:47:27 We'll send you the bill. And supposedly it was artificial intelligence that was recognizing everything they had and going to a total night, recognizing them, recognizing what they had. And it turns out it was a thousand people in India watching and writing down the products that people were buying. So maybe this self-driving Waymo, you know, you saw that picture of that one struggling through the streets. And of course, in India, they drive on the wrong side of the road like the British do. We drive on the right side of the road. They drive on the wrong side of the road.
Starting point is 01:47:57 They drive on the left side. And so maybe it was being driven by some people in India, this Waymo in San Francisco. Maybe being driven remotely by people in India who still think that they're on the other side of the road. Footage shows a vehicle passing a group of electric-powered unicyclists and scooters. Yeah, they had lights all over the unicycles and their helmets. Tried to overtake the unicyclists by driving entirely on the left side of the road and staying there. Fortunately, one of the group of unicyclists managed to get the vehicle to stop by getting in front of it and stopping himself. Yeah, you want to drive in San Francisco?
Starting point is 01:48:40 You got Waymo taxis, unicyclists with lights all over their heads and all the rest of the stuff. Would a human driver really take over the entire opposing lane instead of simply slowing down or pulling over? The guy literally stops in front of it and gestures it back into the lane. Well, he's got a lot more confidence in that technology than I do. Makes me wonder if the Waymo would have continued on the wrong side of the road if this guy hadn't stopped in front of it to get to stop driving on the wrong side of the road uh well again um you think that that thing is going to recognize you we've already had a lot of accidents where it has um it ran over a dog it collided with a cyclist and all the rest of this stuff so it was in some hot water with the California DMV. But we were always told these things are not going to have accidents because it's a collective mind.
Starting point is 01:49:29 And whenever something happens with one of these machines, they all learn at the same time. Is that why they all went to one intersection and stopped? Blocked that intersection? Is that why they freeze up on the side of the road? I think we've been sold a bill of goods i think this is pretty much in the category of what tesla was doing in 1898 with these other people and that's not the only place where they've sold us a bill of goods
Starting point is 01:49:54 electrical grid operators are sounding the alarm over these new epa rules this week four new rules, four new dictates from the EPA. There's not going to be any juice for your EV. You can't cut loose without that juice. And they're going to take down the power supplies. They're going to take down the grid. Biden is busy telling everybody that everything's got to be electrified and everything's got to be on the grid while he is destroying the grid. Electric grid operators are sounding alarm bells everywhere over these new EPA rules.
Starting point is 01:50:30 They said there's different grids in the United States. There's the PJM grid, 13 states, the MISO, 15 states, CASO, which is California, ERCOT in Texas, adding North Carolina and Tennessee, 32 states now impacted by grid operators telling us that they're running out of electricity. Why is that? Because you've got things like the TVA here in Tennessee shutting down conventional power plants. In Texas, they were doing it the entire time I was there. And then they're putting up these so-called renewables
Starting point is 01:51:05 which have to have a battery energy storage site which is unbelievably expensive still doesn't match the load and is a fire hazard an amazing fire hazard california is importing 34 percent of its electricity to tell people, you know, we got clean air here because we're not going to generate it here. We're going to bring it in from some other place. Because same thing that other people are doing with Paris. Say we're going to manufacture everything in China and India. And they can have as dirty a power plant as they wish.
Starting point is 01:51:42 We don't care. We won't see it. It'll be out of sight they had said 75 variation in daily wind volume or speed for power generation so stuff is varying by 75 what makes up that difference oh well we're going to have these massive battery storage sites no problem uh the Manhattan contrarian says in my self-designated role, critiquing various schemes for total transformation of the world's energy system, I get to review large amounts of poor, shoddy, and incompetent work. He says, Start with the fact that the so-called smartest people are filled with arrogance and hubris, but are not actually very smart. Add that many innumerate politics and English majors have flooded into a field that cries out for engineering calculations.
Starting point is 01:52:33 But in a field rife with bad, worse, and still worse, and even dangerously incompetent work, I don't know if I've ever seen anything as shockingly inept as a report just out from the International Energy Agency about batteries, the big battery systems, the worst thing he's seen. If I'd been given the assignment by the North Koreans to write a report to somehow induce the West to self-destruct, I don't know how I could have done it any better. And that's really what we're talking about here. They really want us to self-destruct.
Starting point is 01:53:05 The thesis of the report is that batteries and particularly lithium ion batteries are the key to the impending energy transition, and they need to be scaled up massively and immediately with whatever amount of government subsidies and handouts that takes. That's what all this stuff is about uh it truly is amazing well i'm gonna take a quick break here let me thank some of the people who have left tips uh on rock fan james thank you very much on rumble four can gold so thank you for the tip he says happy birthday david well thank you thank you for sharing your knowledge on a daily basis well thank you for sharing your time here and for sharing with us thank you so much rumble a roots thank you for the tip happy birthday David was a great day in Florida in 1955 my father was also born well we share the same birthday
Starting point is 01:53:58 exactly how about that and in Florida as well that's cool interesting side note John von Neumann became a Christian near the end of his and in Florida as well. That's cool. Interesting side note. John von Neumann became a Christian near the end of his life. Oh, well, that's good. I wonder if he, what he would think about transhumanism.
Starting point is 01:54:16 I think he would probably not be too impressed with it at all. We'll be right back.

Starting point is 01:55:47 i get something wrong folks please do let me know uh this is from sam he says you've been saying the u.s debt level was 10 billion in 2008 it was actually 10 trillion not billion now of course it's um almost 35 trillion which is bad enough but it is three and a half times bigger but again i'm getting older i guess um i guess my response should be come on man it works for biden uh but as you get older i guess things um uh you know decimal points start floating around i've done this a couple of times in the last couple of weeks as i was talking about um mike johnson and i was talking about the budget and all the rest of the stuff i started started saying he got in $20 billion.
Starting point is 01:56:26 It hasn't gotten that bad yet. You know, $20 million in, in, um, three months, pretty good pay, isn't it? Uh, what's he being paid to do? Well, we know that he's being paid to, uh, betray us really. Uh, but let's talk a little bit about money. Uh, the Chinese have grabbed gold by the throat as capital flight accelerates. This is from John Reed, who used that term, grabbing it by the throat. A Fed that seemed to be willing to support spending with rate cuts that was wholly unnecessary based on the data they are so dependent on to prompt fear of a policy error.
Starting point is 01:57:06 So Bloomberg reports juicing the rally is unrelenting Chinese demand on gold as retail shoppers, fund investors, futures traders, and even the central bank look to bullion as a store of value in uncertain times. China and India have typically vied over the title of the world's biggest buyer of gold, but that shifted last year as Chinese consumption of jewelry, of bars, and of coins swelled to record levels. Chinese bar and coin investments surged 28%. Jewelry went up 10%. Interesting. 28% jewelry went up 10%. Uh, interesting.
Starting point is 01:57:46 Um, and you know, I looked at that and I thought, how much is a bar of gold worth? Because, you know, Bob Menendez, the crooked Senator in New Jersey,
Starting point is 01:57:53 who's already nearly been convicted once, but he had Lindsey Graham show up to be a character witness. That's almost like having George Santos show up to be a character witness for you in many different ways. We could draw many different parallels between George Santos and Lindsey Graham. George Santos, by the way, is now resurrecting his drag queen persona. And you can pay him for pictures of himself as a drag queen on know on one of these uh internet sites he had previously said when i think it was a reuters or associated press one of those two main things had turned up pictures
Starting point is 01:58:31 of him dressed as a drag queen in brazil he adamantly said that's a lie i never did that that's not me it's not what you think and he's owning it. This guy is just an amazing liar. Again, another thing that he shares with Lindsey Graham. Yeah, he's hawking. His character, he calls it Katara. He's now going to bring Katara out of the closet. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:59:01 Hide your eyes. But while we're talking about the gold bars and we're talking about John Menendez, uh, the friend of Lindsey Graham, um, not Joe Menendez, but, um, I forget is Bob Menendez. Bob Menendez was caught. If you remember this most recent scandal, when the FBI raided his house, they said he had multiple gold bars. How much is a gold bar? I looked it up today.
Starting point is 01:59:27 400 ounces of gold. So we're talking about something nearly a million dollars in each one of these bars, and he had multiples of these. Maybe it's Bob Menendez who's driving the price of gold up. It's being hoarded not just by the crooked Chinese communists, but by the crooked American Senate as well. So anyway, part of what's driving this is the fact that in China, they've got capital controls.
Starting point is 01:59:56 And so how do you escape capital controls? Well, with financial privacy and with things like metals and stuff like that, gold and silver and things like that. That's how you escape it. They know. Everybody's always known that. You keep it secret, you keep it safe, as Gandalf said. So that's why people are flooding into gold in China
Starting point is 02:00:19 because the economy is going down very rapidly there as well. And they also have put in uh capital controls in japan uh i was surprised to see this because i don't typically keep up with what's going on in the japanese economy the yen the japanese yen was downgraded to banana republic currency says the headline after another roller coaster session well that's an insult to all those hard-working people in the malls um that's what republican candidates said he said yeah we've got uh i don't want to uh make fun of these uh people who are working in the banana republic stores no it's not the same thing. The Japanese yen, which increasingly looks like third world Banana Republic currency
Starting point is 02:01:08 instead of belonging to the world's third largest economy, and which first plunged below 160 versus the U.S. dollar, only to soar more than 500 in what is now the first confirmed Bank of Japan intervention since 2022. Well, we know that there is, it's official, that the official system everywhere, the financial system everywhere, is set up and ripe for a great reset. That's what they're focusing on.
Starting point is 02:01:43 And Cashless Society, the World Economic Forum, has boasted that 98% of central banks are adopting CBDC. Now, we know this is especially Biden, but it's not limited to Biden. You know, Trump is saying, well, I'm not going to do CBDC. Do you really believe it? It was kicked off with Jared Kushner and Steve Mnuchin. We got the emails. They're talking about how to move to a CBDC during the Trump administration. And then you had in March of 2022, you had Biden put out the executive order
Starting point is 02:02:15 to every one of the deep state swamp bureau, three letter agencies that you, however you want to describe them. Every single one of them was given four different things that they needed to investigate in order to make cbdc happen that and they got had six months to report back and so the four different things where they had to completely redesign the financial system that's what's going on worldwide right now they had to completely redesign the financial system uh you had to come up with a way that the fbi and the department of justice was going to force us to use this new financial system uh and then um the people actually going to do the computer coding and then the fourth one was how are we going to sell to people as green and
Starting point is 02:03:02 preferable to cryptocurrency which supposedly um is the big user of electricity even though that's not uh the big user of electricity it's really the nsa the cia uh but and then finally uh we saw congressional whip tom emmer uh who is the number three in terms of the Republicans. He went public and showed on social media a document that came from the Fed. They said, here are our primary duties, and they had seven of them. And FedNow, which is the wholesale movement and wholesale version of CBDC, was number six, and number seven wasbdc so it is official two of the seven key duties of the federal reserve revolve around central banks and cbdc so again folks uh if you want to be outside of the system chinese understand it gold and silver. If you want to accumulate some of that, best place to do it, in my opinion, is with Tony
Starting point is 02:04:09 Arderman of Wise Wolf. And if you go to davidknight.gold, that'll take you to Tony's site. And he can handle small or large transactions for you, but he can also get you as part of the buying group. You can buy into that at a lot of different levels and you can get group discounts as part of Wolfpack and a variety of different places. And he can also handle IRAs, gold and silver IRAs. So again, go to DavidKnight.gold.
Starting point is 02:04:36 That'll take you to Tony Arderman. You need to make plans on how you're going to get outside this web that they're weaving for control of everyone. So we're going to take a quick break. And when we come back, we're going to talk to Alex Newman about his new book, laying out how they have been making designs for how they're going to control and redo society through the schools. We've seen that, but it's really important for people to see how this has progressed
Starting point is 02:05:03 for about 200 years or so. This is a long-term plan. These people carefully plan this stuff out. And that's what his book really lays out in a very concise way. We'll be right back. If you like the Eagles, the cars, and Huey Lewis and the News.

As a matter of fact, it's one of the chapters that he's got here about the burning building and how
Starting point is 02:07:09 the schools are like a burning building. Get your kid out of the burning building, then work with your neighbors to put the fire out before it burns down the entire neighborhood. And that's what our schools are like and the government involvement in it that he lays out in this book goes back 200 years. It's a very meticulous, iterative process to get us where we are. So joining us now is Alex Newman. Good to talk to you again, Alex. It is great to be here. Thank you so much, David. Well, thanks for coming in.
Starting point is 02:07:35 Let's talk a little bit about this because, you know, there's a lot of familiar names. Thomas Dewey, the Dewey Decimal System. I remember when I was in Tampa, there was a school that was named after Horace Mann as well. And I didn't at the time know who he was. But when we got into homeschooling, I learned who he was. Kind of give us an idea of how this thing has. I look at it and when you look at the table of contents and you read the book, it makes it very clear this is a long-term plan of incremental takeover, very much like what Antonio Gramsci said. We're going to march through the institutions. Forget
Starting point is 02:08:12 about this shooting people in the streets type of thing. It's more effective if we take over the institutions. And that's really what they've done. It's been a long march through the institution of education that has lasted over 200 years hasn't it it has it's been a tremendously powerful movement that has largely operated behind the scenes at least in terms of uh their true agenda but it does go back a couple hundred years and i always start with before the government got involved in education because a lot of people don't even realize there was a time when the government didn't educate our children in fact there was a time not all that long ago when government didn't educate our children. Parents were primarily responsible for that, and if they needed help, they'd go to the church.
Starting point is 02:08:51 And at that time, we were the best educated people who had ever existed in human history at any place on the planet, at any time. It was extraordinary. We had 100% literacy rates in our cities. We had 95-plus percent in the rural areas. Alexis de Tocqueville came here from France in the 1830s and was astounded. He said every citizen knows the history of his country, the leading features of the Constitution, the evidences and doctrines of his religion. He said everyone gets the elementary notions of human knowledge, which today, you know, we'd probably equate with a master's or a Ph.D.
Starting point is 02:09:26 He says somebody wholly ignorant of these things is a sort of phenomenon. They did a study in 1812, DuPont, Dean, Nemo, not more than four in a thousand young people, he said, were unable to write legibly, even neatly. So this is where we were at before the government got involved. And then came a socialist. This was before Karl Marx had come along. This was before communism was even a thing. His name was Robert Owen. Married into a wealthy textile family.
Starting point is 02:09:54 An actual socialist, right? Back before this was really a thing. He believed so passionately in these silly ideas, you know, get rid of private property, live as a collective, get rid of the family, things like this, that he bought a piece of land in Indiana and started a commune called New Harmony. Very rapidly failed. The whole thing came crashing down. Not because communism is stupid, though, right? Not because getting rid of private property in the family doesn't work. It happened because these people had been educated and raised in an environment filled with Christians and individualism. So he started writing these really weird essays where he argued, actually, really for the first time that I can find since Plato,
Starting point is 02:10:32 the raging totalitarian who thought we ought to have philosopher kings lording over us and they could use government schools to brainwash us all into being good, submissive serfs. And so he argues that the best government would be the one that does the best job educating its population. And of course, these ideas did not take off in America. As I mentioned, we had a fabulous education non-system where everybody got a great education, mostly at home, to the extent that anybody outside the home was involved. It was typically the clergy. And he set up a secret society. I know, conspiracy here. We know about this because a whistleblower who was part of this secret society defected. He became a Catholic and repented of his involvement in this wicked plan.
Starting point is 02:11:12 And he said they had two surface-level goals. They wanted to change public opinion to convince Americans that education should be handled by the government, or at least that the government should have some role. And then they wanted to get men elected to legislatures who would support that concept. But the ultimate objective, this is a direct quote from Oris Sprounson, the defector who left this wicked movement. He said the ultimate objective was to get rid of Christianity. Because they understood that Christianity was like a big brick wall. It was an insurmountable obstacle to their plans for utopia.
Starting point is 02:11:44 So that didn't take off in America, as I mentioned, but the Prussian ambassador got a hold of these ridiculous essays that Owen was writing. And he was very popular at the time. There were, you know, Owenites, as they were called, his followers and disciples. So the Prussian ambassador gets these essays, takes them back to his master, the Prussian dictator. And of course, the Prussian dictator was still smarting from losing a war with Napoleon. You know, it wasn't going well for him. So he thought, hey, this is what we need. So he orders his interior minister to set up this government school system based on Robert Owen's ideas. According to Robert Owen's autobiography, he so much approved of this idea that he ordered this
Starting point is 02:12:19 to be constructed in Prussia. First ever education system of the state, by the state, and for the state. And then from Prussia, it was re-imported into America by Horace Mann, who you mentioned. There are still all across this country, government brainwash camps masquerading as schools named after Horace Mann. The guy was also a socialist. He was a Unitarian. He rejected the Bible. He believed the government schools should equalize all men. He wanted the Bible out of the schools under the guise of getting rid of sectarianism, which, you know, we need to understand the Bible was the primary textbook in those days. Trying to think of education without the Bible in the early mid-1800s was like an oxymoron. How could you possibly do that? So that
Starting point is 02:13:00 didn't go over well. But he imports the system into Massachusetts. Right away, the dumbing down takes off, the quackery takes over. And then he travels across the country like this ridiculous evangelist, preaching the good news of salvation by government schools. We're going to get rid of 90% of the crimes, and it's just going to be a wonderful utopia. And so he gets this system in place in state after state so that by the early 1900s, every state now has intruded somewhat, at least, into education. Some have set up networks of government schools. And then World War I, big turning point.
Starting point is 02:13:33 That's when, for the first time in American history, most American children are in government schools. And that's when John Dewey bursts on the scene. He had been writing and rambling about education for a long time. He actually went to the Soviet Union and just loved what they were doing. This is so incredible. He wrote about it, too, David. This is incredible. Everybody who goes to a government college to learn education will learn that John Dewey is this hero,
Starting point is 02:13:56 the architect of America's wonderful progressive education system. They won't learn about his essays about the Soviet Union, about what a great city. They were published in the New Republic. They're still in their archives. And so he wanted that in America. And very interestingly, he teams up with the Rockefellers to fund this. So you've got, it sounds like a bad joke, right? A super capitalist and a communist walk into a bar and they decide, hey, let's dumb down the population by setting up a government school system. But it's the truth. And so that's kind of the genesis of this and
Starting point is 02:14:25 it's been getting worse with every generation moving toward this goal of a dumbed down fully indoctrinated population that will give up its liberties turn against god turn against the family turn against the country and um you know revolution by other means if you will it's fascinating and i had an example i've talked about this in the past uh when i was in raleigh there was a counselor there before the soviet union fell and she went to moscow she came back she said you can go anywhere you want to in moscow for a nickel we need that here in raleigh and it's like it's this woman smoking i mean it sounds like uh just like dewey but uh yeah it is it is interesting isn't it how you see these um these so-called capitalists teaming with the communists to run this kind of stuff through.
Starting point is 02:15:07 You were talking about how in the early days of America, the literacy rate was so high. And, of course, we know that because look at the impact that Thomas Paine's Common Sense had on people, right? It had a big impact because everybody read, and they were able to comprehend what they read as well. And so it really was a system where people didn't spend 18 years to get a little bit of understanding and to be miseducated. I think today what we've seen is that this is all about social engineering. And of course, you break that down in your book, just like you broke down the history of this, how it went from socialism to the people who embraced Marxism. I mean, Owen was out there even before Karl Marx was out there, wasn't he?
Starting point is 02:15:52 That's right. Yep. And promoting really similar ideas to what Karl Marx would come along and promote a few decades later. And a lot of people, when they think of where did the government schools come from, the first one they can think of is Karl Marx, because he, of course, proposed in the Communist Manifesto in the 10 planks that government should control the education of all children, they should be free in so-called public schools. But really Robert Owen deserves the real credit for kicking this movement off, of course with a major assist from the dictator in Prussia. Now I cannot yet, I'm still looking, I cannot yet conclusively connect Horace Mann to Robert Owen's secret network, right? What the whistleblower described as a secret society based, incidentally, on the Carbonari, this nasty, vile group headquartered in Italy.
Starting point is 02:16:36 So I can't connect them definitively yet. I suspect there is a link there beyond just, you know, went to Prussia and then Horace Mann imported it back. But I can't prove it yet. By nature, secret societies are difficult to track. But it's so interesting how every one of the critical men in creating the system that today we call the public school rejected God, rejected the principles that America was based on, and had this utopian vision involving really what Karl Marx called for, eliminating private property, eliminating nations, eliminating family, and moving toward this alleged brotherhood of man.
Starting point is 02:17:10 Yeah, yeah, they see themselves as God, and so they don't want any of that competition that's out there. They want to be, especially today, omnipresent and omniscient about everything that we're doing everywhere that we are, the big brother move. You know, when we talk about depression and involvement, and we see that in things like kindergarten, right? This whole idea that we got to get the kids very early, as you pointed out, going back to a Plato,
Starting point is 02:17:31 he was talking about that. You know, we want them to see the state as their family and don't even want them to know who their parents are. We will raise them from a very early age. Everybody understands that totalitarian dictators have understood that. Of course, the Bible warns us about that as well. You know, you get these kids when they're young and you train them, they're not going to depart from that. Totalitarian dictators have understood that. Of course, the Bible warns us about that as well.
Starting point is 02:17:46 You know, you get these kids when they're young and you train them, they're not going to depart from that. And the dictators know that as well. And so it's a real battle to try to get the kids at the earliest possible age, isn't it? It is. And Robert Owen, that was one of the things he pioneered even before setting up this ridiculous commune. He had this textile manufacturing operation on the British Isles that he had married into. Again, he married into a wealthy textile family. And one of the social experiments that he tried there was getting these young mothers to come work in the factory and promising to take care of their babies. So they were getting two,
Starting point is 02:18:19 three-year-old kids in these social engineering centers. This is like really the pioneering effort to do this. And you said something else, David, that I really want to pick up on because it's so critical for people to understand is they see themselves as gods. So John Dewey wasn't just a communist in the traditional sense of the term. Now, in his defense, he did reject violent revolution. He believed that slowly brainwashing the population over a period of generations would be a better way to achieve total power. So in his defense.
Starting point is 02:18:46 But one of the things that he did, one of the things that he's best known for, other than his education blabbering, was something called the Humanist Manifesto. So John Dewey and 30-something of his buddies, members of the Unitarian clergy, academics, philosophers, and other leaders came together and they wrote what they called the Humanist Manifesto. Today we call it the Humanist Manifesto 1 because their disciples have released new and improved versions. But right at the very beginning of this document, and this was their religion, and again, in their defense,
Starting point is 02:19:18 they were open and transparent about the fact that this was their religion. Don't know where they found enough faith to believe some of these idiotic things, but it's a free country. You can believe whatever you want. So the very first tenet of their false religion was religious humanists regard the universe as self-existing and not created. You know, you can compare and contrast that with the Word of God, Genesis 1, in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
Starting point is 02:19:42 You can contrast that with our Declaration of Independence, right, the self-evident truth that God created us. God endowed us with unalienable rights. God made us equal, etc. And so clearly they're telling you our religion is fundamentally at odds at a most basic level with the Bible and with the principles that America was founded on, which largely came from the Bible, despite being called self-evident truth. So there we have something really critical. Now, as you read through the rest of this religion, it's kind of just warmed over Karl Marx. I think they said that we need equitable distribution of the means of life, which is another way of saying abolish private property and have the government
Starting point is 02:20:18 control the means of production. So we've got to institute a radical change in methods and motives. We've got to get rid of the profit motive as the organizing principle for the economy. So it was communism, but there was a really, really critical undertone. It wasn't stated explicitly. If there is no real God, that just leaves us as gods. It will be you and I who determine what is right and wrong. You and I who determine what rights or privileges you may have. And I tell people, they thought they invented a new religion. They pretended like
Starting point is 02:20:50 they were inventing a new religion. This is literally the oldest lie in the book. If you go back to Genesis chapter three, you've got Satan saying that very same thing. Ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. So this really was a false religion from the pit of hell. And this was one of the reasons why John Dewey was so obsessed with the schools. One of the guys who co-signed this Humanist Manifesto, his name was C.F. Potter, he wrote a book called Humanism, A New Religion. And in this book, he brags. He says, we're going to use the public schools as the greatest ally of humanism. And he kind of laughs, like, what is your Sunday school, your theistic Sunday school going to do teaching some of the children for one hour a week when we have them for five days of
Starting point is 02:21:29 humanistic teachings? He didn't even answer. I think the answer was obvious. Absolutely nothing. So along comes the Supreme Court in 1962. They say you can't have prayer in the schools anymore. By the way, this was a non-sectarian prayer. It was a Catholic priest, a Protestant minister minister and a Jewish rabbi came together and wrote a prayer like, hey, God, please bless our school, bless our family, bless our parents, bless our country, bless our teachers. Amen. And so the Supreme Court said, no, First Amendment, you can't have that because apparently the state of New York is Congress. Wait, no, that's how dumbed down we were that people bought into this. 1963 comes along, they ban the Bible in school. Again, they cite the First Amendment. And the guy who wrote the dissent in this case, Justice Potter Stewart, I encourage people to read this dissent. It is beautiful. It's one of what should be required reading for everybody interested in education
Starting point is 02:22:16 and everybody interested in constitutional law. He says, what we have done here is not neutrality with respect to religion what we've done here he says is establish the religion of secularism or what john do what he called humanism under the guise of preventing congress from establishing a religion the supreme court established a false religion forced us to pay for its propagation with our taxes and forced our children to be brainwashed with this false religion so we're full circle you. You're right. They think they're gods. You know, we used to go frequently when we lived in North Carolina, we used to go to Colonial Williamsburg. And they had a very good guy there who did a good job of impersonating Thomas Jefferson.
Starting point is 02:22:56 And he would take questions. And of course, I knew he wasn't going to respond to anything that was contemporary, anything that was going to be political, you know. But I would throw it out there to kind of speak to the audience. And every time I was there, I would always ask him a question. I'd say, you know, you said that you stood up very much for freedom, free exercise of religion and not having an official state religion. You said it was an abomination for people to have to be forced to attend a church.
Starting point is 02:23:23 And it was also an abomination for people to have to be forced to pay for something that they disagreed with. And I said, but then you also set up the state university there. Would you admit that perhaps a government education system is no different from an enforced government education system, which is what you just pointed out? It is. So that's why I was trying to get people to understand you understand that we're right back to having
Starting point is 02:23:47 an established religion it's just that the seminaries are the colleges and the places where they indoctrinate everybody on a daily basis are these government schools and you're forced to pay for it we're at the point right now where they were at some of these early colonies. Over a period of time, they transitioned away from it. At first, everybody had to attend the official state church and pay money to it. Then they said, well, you don't have to attend, but you still got to pay for it. That's where we are right now with homeschooling. You don't have to attend this state religion they call government schools, but we still got to pay for it, don't we?
Starting point is 02:24:25 That's exactly right. And, you know, the Bible actually teaches this. Early Americans would have recognized, I think, pretty quickly what's happening here. Jesus is quoted twice in the Gospels. In Matthew and in Luke, he says, whoever's not with me is against me. And so I encourage people to think about this for a minute. Are the government schools with Christ? Well, and if the answer is no, and it obviously is no, no Christian or anti-Christian would even deny that at this point, then that leaves one option. They are anti-Christian. And to your point, you know, the Bible teaches Proverbs 22, 6, train up a child in the way he should go, but he's old, he will not depart from it. In Luke, Jesus is quoted saying that students are not greater
Starting point is 02:25:01 than their teachers. When they're fully trained, they're going to be like their teachers. And so we have a system here that was designed to instill a worldview in your children. It was designed to handicap them, literally. We can get into that. There's a reason why half of American adults are functionally illiterate. And when you put all that together, you realize this is a profoundly religious exercise. It may not be a religion that an average person would recognize, but it is religious. And in fact, I think education is inseparable from discipleship.
Starting point is 02:25:32 The question is, who is doing the discipling? Is it parents? Is it pastors from an official religion? Or is it a school that doesn't tell you it's a religion, but is still instilling very religious concepts? All of the fundamental presuppositions that underpin the worldview taught in the public schools today are profoundly religious. And it takes an enormous amount of faith to agree with them. The idea, for example, that everything came from nothing.
Starting point is 02:25:58 I mean, that contradicts everything we know about physics. It contradicts the most basic tenets of common sense. And yet that is the underlying philosophy that underpins virtually everything that is being instilled in these children as far as the worldview goes. How can it be that we can accept this tenet of faith being taught to children, but not stop and say, wait a minute, this is a profoundly religious exercise. So we need to understand that this is not a secular school system. This is a religious school system masquerading as a neutral school system. That's very true. Do you talk about R.L. Dabney in your book? Because I remember he was a chaplain. It's actually Stonewall Jackson's chaplain. And after the war, he blamed the Civil War. He said
Starting point is 02:26:43 he thought it had its roots in the government school system he was talking about in Massachusetts, where it was first established. But he wrote essays saying, and very, very prescient about where we were going to be. And, you know, not even a century, well, about a century later, that's when the Supreme Court started doing that. But he said, there's absolutely no way that you can have government involvement in education without violating the free exercise of religion, without establishing a religion. He goes, it's only a question of which religion is going to be established. You can't have neutrality and have the government funding it. You can't have the government involved in any way in education, or it is going to be establishing a politicized religion. And he was talking about that in the 1860s. Yeah. So I don't mention him in the book, but he politicized religion. And he was talking about that in the 1860s.
Starting point is 02:27:26 Yeah, so I don't mention him in the book, but he was absolutely correct. And one of the things that's interesting is that actually the southern states were the last holdouts when it came to government schools. They resisted until the bitter end. It wasn't until Reconstruction that the northerners forced these institutions on the south. But, you know, to your point, I just had a piece published in Newsweek just about a week or two ago, and I quoted two modern scholars. And, you know, people can think whatever they want about these two guys. One is a former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr. And, you know, I've got my obvious concerns with his background and all the rest of
Starting point is 02:27:59 it. But what he said in a 2021 speech, he said this militant and extreme secular progressive climate of our state run education system is the greatest threat to religious liberty in America today. And of course, he is correct. I also quoted a Columbia law professor, Philip Hamburger, arguing that public schools, by definition, violate the First Amendment rights of parents. And that's because they force parents, or at least very strongly pressure them, into substituting their own speech, right, what parents would tell their own children for what the state wants to tell their children. And so this is an infringement on our religious liberty. This is an infringement on our freedom of speech. It's an infringement on our parental rights. It's an infringement on our property rights that they're extorting us for
Starting point is 02:28:44 thousands of dollars every year on our property to be able to pay for these brainwash camps to hurt our children. So this is a fundamental violation of every tenet of a truly free society. And yet today we're supposed to think of it as American as apple pie. It's not. It's wicked. Frankly, when people ask me how to reform it, I say, why would you want to reform it? It's like asking me how I want to reform my cancer. I'll pass.
Starting point is 02:29:07 Thank you. I want to get rid of the cancer. And it's not because I'm anti-education is because I'm pro education. That's right. That's right. But they have inextricably linked education in schools and people's minds. And there are two different things. We're talking about an institution, uh, versus, uh, you know, something that, that, uh, you
Starting point is 02:29:24 actually have the education, something you have, but that, that you actually have the education, something you have, but you don't need to have the school system that says you're pointing out. We've seen the way this evolves. You pointed out in your book, let's talk a little bit about the Frankfurt school and its effect on education. Mostly we talk about the Frankfurt school and its effect on Hollywood and entertainment and media and stuff, but talk about it's a effect on education. Yeah. So the Frankfurt school, school once again we intersect with john dewey right so he so he had set up this uh experimental school at the university of chicago and funded by the rockefellers they gave him 3.1 million dollars through the general education board one of their
Starting point is 02:29:58 early uh philanthropic efforts if you want to call it that uh frederick gates the guy they put in charge of it was a total megalomaniac he He bragged about how in our perfect world, these people will yield themselves with perfect docility to our benevolent molding hand. All this gobbledygook. Eventually, once they come up with this formula that they really like, so John Dewey's experimental school graduated a bunch of kids who couldn't read, couldn't write, couldn't do math, couldn't tell right from wrong. They so they loved this idea. So John Dewey then goes over to Columbia University. And at Columbia University, starts bringing in a bunch of these progressives.
Starting point is 02:30:33 Now, the Frankfurt School is happening over in Frankfurt. So the Frankfurt School, the Institute for Social Research at the University of Frankfurt Goethe, they had actually been a project of the Comintern, the Communist Internationale. And you mentioned that, right? This is in Germany for people. Yes, right, in Frankfurt, Germany. And so they actually, this idea was hatched by the Comintern. They came to the same conclusion as Gramsci, although they would never admit it publicly.
Starting point is 02:30:58 But Marx was wrong, right? Marx was wrong. He thought it was inevitable that the working class was going to rise up in a revolution. And then, you know, they finally, after 60 years of realizing that wasn't going to happen, said, okay, fine, that's not going to happen. We've got to do something different. And so Gramsci and the Comintern through the Frankfurt School concluded, hey, we've got to break down these cultural barriers to revolution. We've got to attack the family. We've got to attack the church. We've got to attack the values. We've got to attack patriotism. So they went after the institutions, the values, the attitudes that they understood
Starting point is 02:31:28 were blocking revolution. And so that really was where the Frankfurt School came in. Now, I want to be clear because sometimes people say, well, if you don't like the Frankfurt School, you must be pro-Nazi. No, no. The Nazis and the communists were very, very close cousins. In fact, the New York Times reported before the outbreak of World War Two that the Nazis, the Hitlerites, actually regarded Vladimir Lenin as the second greatest man in the world, second only to Adolf Hitler. So really, they're very, very close beliefs. I mean, they had some differences on racial issues and stuff, but they were all in favor of the state uber alice. They were all in favor of genocide against marx actually advocated genocide against the groups that hadn't reached the capitalist stage because uh you know
Starting point is 02:32:09 he just thought they were too backwards to do anything with so they had a lot in common but eventually the frankfurt school the socialist the communist there had a falling out with the national socialists and so they had to flee germany and john dewey with rockefeller money brought them to columbia university uh and then from there they spread out across our country like a cancer Germany. And John Dewey, with Rockefeller money, brought them to Columbia University. And then from there, they spread out across our country like a cancer, University of California, et cetera. And they started promoting these incredibly subversive doctrines under the guise of academia. They all got set up in universities. A lot of them actually went into the education field to educate educators. And they came up with these very subversive ideas, like, for example, the idea
Starting point is 02:32:45 of the authoritarian male. So dads and husbands in America were basically fascists, right? They were lording it over their wives and children. And of course, they understood dads and husbands were critical to protecting their families from this tide of wickedness. And so they figured we can emasculate the dads and the husbands, the fathers, the patriarchs, it'll be a lot easier to steamroller over this society. So they spread this notion through the colleges, through the schools of education, that the American father was somehow a totalitarian, that he needed to be stopped. They spread the idea of perversion and filth being in every element of our culture. So they spread all these evil doctrines. And again, education was one of the primary fields they went into. So this was a critical component of hijacking the then existing
Starting point is 02:33:30 government school system, weaponizing it further again with money from the big foundations and turning it into the most effective tool for revolution really, I think, ever conceived in human history. It's interesting to see as you lay this out, I think about what we've got in terms of these institutions. I think about the building of a building and how long it takes to lay the foundation. And then all of a sudden, after the foundation is there, boom, you know, the stick walls go up. You know, when you got the framing going framing going up it goes up very very quickly
Starting point is 02:34:05 and that's really what we see we we see this foundation being laid over a very long period of time and then you have uh the the stages where it goes through and spurts and a lot of stuff happens all at once and we're in uh i think the final stage of this stuff now as we see everything changing incredibly rapidly. I guess maybe we're in the stage where they're decorating and painting things with a drag queen. Torture this analogy here to that point. But, you know, the but but we're people are looking at this stuff now. We got a good, good shot at this during the lockdown.
Starting point is 02:34:43 People are able to see on zoom what was actually happening in their kids class but it's just amazing how rapidly this has changed but i i've seen all this stuff throughout my lifetime you know that i began school before you had the supreme court decisions saying that you got to purge god out of the schools and it was even the government schools and it was a it took a while for them to implement that. So I was in that system for a few years and gradually saw this kind of stuff change. And I had like a front row seat of this dumbing down and degeneracy that is going on in the school system all of my life. And it truly is amazing to see that. And I think it's very important. That's the real importance, I think, of your book is for people to get that sense of history, to see how this is done iteratively, to see how these foundations were laid over a very long period of time.
Starting point is 02:35:32 Talk a little bit about, of course, something that's a little bit more recent, but still several decades back, and that's Common Core. And, of course, we had the Republicans heavily involved in that as well. We did. and that's common core and of course we had republicans heavily involved in that as well we did um and you know common core i think is misunderstood by even most of the people who follow closely education um yes it dumbed down the population we know that it's objectively provable the federal government actually hired a group sea sail to do a study on this and seven years into it they said whoa the negative effects of this are just wild. We don't even know where the bottom is because we haven't hit it yet. We're still going down. So terrible from an academic perspective. In fact, they put two subject matter experts and only two subject matter experts on the Common Core Validation Committee. This was the hand-picked committee that was supposed to rubber stamp these things and say they were great. Both of them
Starting point is 02:36:21 refused to sign off. The math expert, Dr. James Milgram of Stanford, said some of this is based on incorrect math. Like, no, I'm not signing off on this garbage. The English expert, Dr. Sandra Stotsky, I know her. I serve on a board with her tonight. Very nice lady. She said, look, this is going to reduce the critical thinking abilities in children. You're taking out good literature and you're replacing it with like Obama's executive orders and EPA regulations on roof insulation. No, I'm not signing off on this. So both the subject matter experts said no. The federal government knows it's making your kids dumber.
Starting point is 02:36:52 And a lot of people look at it as the nationalization of education. And yes, it was. That was a process that started decades earlier. In fact, the George H.W. New World Order administration had really, really put the pedal to the metal on nationalizing the school system just very shortly after the birth of the U.S. Department of Education. But really what Common Core was, even more significant than those two other things, which I don't want to downplay the significance of those, it was the globalization of education. And that's what people don't realize. So Bill Gates of hell went over to UNESCO headquarters in 2004, and he signed an agreement with UNESCO. UNESCO, for those who aren't familiar, is the UN's
Starting point is 02:37:31 education agencies, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization. And so Bill Gates signed this deal with them back in 2004. I've got a copy of the deal. He signed on behalf of Microsoft. They vowed that they were going to work closely together on creating global education standards, global curricula, global teacher training programs, and global technology systems to make sure it was all being implemented properly. Well, he comes back to the United States and starts dumping millions of dollars. And by the time it's all said and done, $2.3 billion into this project called Common Core. Most of the funding, of course, came from taxpayers, but Bill Gates provided the genesis there, just starting the ball rolling. And they actually bought ads. I've got some of these ads. I play them when I go out and do talks on this, where they're bragging that Common Core state standards are actually
Starting point is 02:38:21 going to align American education with international standards. They're saying this proudly. They bought ads to tell this to the American people. And so let's go back a little bit more in time. Prior to 2004, the UN had concocted what they call the World Corps Curriculum. And the guy who wrote it, Robert Mueller, he was the Assistant Secretary General of the UN, one step below the actual Secretary General. He says this needs to be taught to every child in every school on planet Earth. I've got a lot of these documents. I've got a lot of these materials in my office. And in the foreword to the teacher's manual, he says something astounding, David. And I think this is really the most critical thing to understand about what's happening on the educational front today. In the foreword, he says, this is based on the teachings of Alice Bailey and the Tibetan
Starting point is 02:39:09 teacher, Javal Kul. And it's very easy to read right over that. Well, Alice Bailey, I've got her books here, right? Here's her book, Education in the New Age. She was the founder of the Lucifer Publishing Company. Literally, that was the name of the organization. It's still around today. It's called the Lucius Trust. And the Tibetan teacher was actually a spiritual entity that Alice Bailey
Starting point is 02:39:29 claimed to be communicating with. She called it an ascended master. And so channeling these demons, she wrote books like Education in the New Age. And people can read this. It's absolutely bonkers. I mean, you almost can't believe it until you read it yourself. We need a one worldworld government. We need a one-world brain. The government school system is going to unite humanity into this global society where we're going to evolve to a new age of consciousness. And the only problem, she says, is these people who insist on this great heresy of separateness, which are also known as Bible-believing Christians who are told to be holy and to not participate in these wicked things of the world. So Christians are the obstacle to this one-world utopia on whom the global world core curriculum
Starting point is 02:40:14 is based. So that's what's happening here, folks. The schools are preparing your children for submission to an all-powerful one-world dictatorship based on the rantings of crazy woman and her demons. Yeah, yeah, her ascended masters. And, of course, we keep seeing this stuff about ascended masters keep reweaving itself everywhere. You know, even when we break off, we've got a conservative group. We've got, like, Michael Flynn leading prayers to an ascended master that he verbatim from Elizabeth Clare Prophet, you know, the reawakened stuff. So you constantly have this occultic ascended master stuff
Starting point is 02:40:47 weaving itself back in, even in, you know, nominally, you know, they call themselves conservatives, even in those circles, it's always there. It always finds a way back in. It truly is amazing. When we look at it. Yeah. David, can I stop you there for just one moment?
Starting point is 02:41:03 Because I want to pick up on this ascended master theme, especially since you seem to be interested. So even before the World Corps curriculum, actually, George H.W. Bush had hired a lady. This is the New World Order guy, right? Who said we're going to have a credible United Nations. We use a peacekeeping role to implement the vision of the U.N.'s founders. So he hires a lady for the U.S. Department of Education named Dr. Shirley McCoon. And surprise, she's also talking to ascended masters. The true story, she wrote a book with one of her buddies
Starting point is 02:41:34 called The Light Shall Set You Free. Same general idea, right? The ascended masters told me we gotta evolve to this new higher consciousness state. So she's the lady that they put at the Department of Education to start leading the charge for the national testing, the national accountability, ultimately the national standards. And she gives a speech to the 50 governors.
Starting point is 02:41:55 George H.W. Bush convened all 50 governors together. And she gives a speech. I've got a copy of the speech. I've got the video. And she says to them, look, the schools, you know, the real purpose of schools is, she said, transforming society. She says, we're fundamentally restructuring society. And we have to understand that the social change function of schools is what's going to get us there. Right. And now fast forward to more recent times, you've probably heard of social emotional learning. In fact, I have a chapter on this in the book. SEL. SEL. SEL, yeah. times you've probably heard of social emotional learning in fact i have a chapter on this in the book sel and sel yeah and the nea the national education association says now this is the most important function of schools and it's in all the schools even in some christian schools
Starting point is 02:42:35 by the way and so i started investigating this years ago before people had done any real critical research on this and they still had all the documents publicly available. So I went to CASEL. This is an organization funded by Bill Gates. It's the premier SEL organization. It's called the Collaborative for Academic Social Emotional Learning. And right there, they had a history tab on their website. So I click on the history tab, and right there, in plain English, it says, the idea for SEL came out of conversations that we had at the Fetzer Institute. Huh, what is the Fetzer Institute? I had we had at the Fetzer Institute. Huh. What is the Fetzer Institute?
Starting point is 02:43:07 I had never heard of the Fetzer Institute. So I look it up real quick. Turns out it's a new age occult, bizarre place founded by some crazy rich guy, a disciple of Alice Bailey. And they're doing these invocations to the ascended masters and all this. So this theme of the occult, this theme of the ascended masters bringing us into the new age runs through this entire program and yet your average Christian has no idea 80% of Christians in this country are
Starting point is 02:43:32 still sending their children to these pagan, godless, diabolical indoctrination centers and you just want to shake them like, wake up you fool! What's happening to your children? Don't you care? Yeah, absolutely. And you talk about the fact that even private schools are going to have sel there and a big part of this is one of the things that
Starting point is 02:43:49 concerns me about charter schools about private schools whenever you take the government's money uh then they're going to start telling you what you've got to do even if it means putting boys in the girls showers and that type of stuff which takes us back to the department of education and i believe what do you think about the department i think it's its primary function was there to to bribe and blackmail people to get these things through because that is such a powerful um superpower that the federal government has where it can just create money out of thin air and then they can channel it through the department of education and they can use that to take over charter schools or private schools or anybody who takes the government coin we even see especially
Starting point is 02:44:29 in colleges i mean look at how they've been able to uh to control colleges through the power of the purse and the money and that's the way the federal government operates most of the time would you agree absolutely and that's why they set up the Department of Education. I quote William Zoster in the book. He was a former leader of the Communist Party here in the United States. He wrote a book called Toward a Soviet America. This was 100 years ago. He says one of our key objectives is to establish a national department of education that's going to be used to cleanse all the schools of everything that might be considered religious or patriotic or bourgeois. We're going to turn them into institutions of revolution. And actually, that goes back to,
Starting point is 02:45:09 we started off the conversation with Robert Owen, the whistleblower, I mentioned, Oris Sprounson, when he's exposing this whole agenda, why they're doing this. He says the great object is to get rid of Christianity. And what he says is our goal was to get a system of state and then national education so that we could then bring religion into contempt. So that was the goal from the very beginning. The totalitarians, the anti-God fanatics wanted a national system where they could then much more simply control all education in this country. And now this is actually being bumped up to the global level. So Arne Duncan, who spent seven years as Secretary of Miseducation under Barack Obama, this guy was bragging about how UNESCO is the partner of the U.S. Department of Education
Starting point is 02:45:55 with implementing global education initiatives. He actually quoted a communist terrorist. He said, education is a weapon that we're going to use to change the world. So they're telling you all this. I mean, you don't have to listen to David Knight and Alex Newman. These people will tell you what they're doing if you'll just listen. You won't see it on Fox News. You won't see it on CNN or on the front page of your local propaganda organ owned by the USA Today or whatever.
Starting point is 02:46:20 But these people are telling you what they're doing if you'll just listen. And, of course, it's not something that the politicians are going to talk about either you know it was at least in 1980 and it was created in a campaign year by carter and and reagan said he's going to get rid of it but of course he didn't and he had people like charlotte isabee and phyllis schlafly who went there to help uh shut that thing down and they left in disgust charlotte isabee said it's the deliberate dumbing down of america and it truly is that's what it's about but it's gotten beyond that now it's not just dumbing us down it's pushing us down into degeneracy you know we look at and you've got chapters of course on um critical race theory but also one of the chapters totalitarian agenda behind the lgbt
Starting point is 02:47:00 sex ed yeah i've looked at this for a long time. The transgender stuff is obviously a sexual component to it, a grooming that is there. But as we start to see this other stuff and the furries and this complete detachment from reality, it starts me to believe that they're moving us into that other branch of secularism, transhumanism, preparing kids to live in this, to be completely incapable of operating in the real world, not kids to live in this, to be completely incapable of operating in the real world, not wanting to be in the real world, but also to push them into a virtual reality, which they're already doing. And the schools, I can't believe that in the schools, they let the kids
Starting point is 02:47:37 dress this way, have, uh, uh, you know, things, pause that have claws on them, that they can scratch people with. I mean, that, that is the absolute breakdown of any kind of discipline. But you have to ask yourself, what is their agenda? And as you can see in your book, it is a very clear agenda. It is a very clear goal of all this stuff. It's all converging on this and marching progressively forward. Talk a little bit about that, but I do want to spend some time in terms of talking about
Starting point is 02:48:04 the positive vision. It's very important for people to understand how the school is really on fire. A lot of people don't realize it's on fire. They don't realize that it was a deliberately set fire, and they don't see the implications of it for society, for the neighborhood in general. And that's what your book really does lay out. But I want to talk a little bit about positive vision. But talk a little bit about what is going on with this LGBT thing. I mean, it's a sexual component, but I think it's also got something to do with this transhumanism
Starting point is 02:48:37 and high tech and virtual reality, even though we're talking about costume characters at this point. What do you think? You are absolutely right, David. There's no question about it. And so there's actually multiple agendas, but let's talk on the two that you just hit on. And they're both discussed extensively in the book. The first is, you know, the LGBT thing. One of the major reasons they're pushing this is actually to take down the family unit. And if you go back and you look at the history of sex education, Wilhelm Reich, a hundred
Starting point is 02:49:03 years ago, described himself as a Freudian Marxist, a member of the Communist Party. And he said, we've got to get the sex ed in the schools so that we can turn children away from their families, so we can undermine their credibility, we can undermine the influence of the church, and basically grab hold of the minds and hearts of these children and write on a blank slate. That was why they did it. You look at Georgie Lukacs, the deputy commissar of education and culture in the Belakun communist regime in Hungary, short-lived communist dictatorship. He ended up going to become part of the Frankfurt School, incidentally. He was doing these nasty, raunchy puppet shows in front of kindergarten kids for the purpose of breaking down the Christian moral order. And he said so.
Starting point is 02:49:39 So you look now at the modern iteration of this. First, they told us, oh, just loving homosexuals just want to be married, you know, just quit being such a prude. And people say, well, don't kids need a mom and a dad? Well, you know, it's better to have two dads than no dads, right? Or it's better to have two moms than no moms, right? So they first started off by saying, well, it's really not that important to have both a mom and a dad,
Starting point is 02:50:01 which, of course, anybody with two brain cells to rub together knows is ridiculous. Yes, you can survive. You might become a great human being, even without one of those. But the optimal condition, the divine order that God has established is for a child to be raised by a mother and a father, a loving marriage relationship. Well, they figured, hey, if we can get the mom or the dad out of the picture by marketing this homosexual marriage and homosexual adoption, that's a good first step. Now you come to the next step, the transgenderism. Well, now they're saying there's no such thing as a mom or dad, right? Gender is a social construct. You could be any, I'm a non-binary, you're a non-binary, I'm a free spirit, whatever. So now they're saying
Starting point is 02:50:37 not only is a mom or a dad not essential, now they're saying there's no such thing as a mom or dad. So you can see this is a calculated assault on the nuclear family so that the state ultimately can usurp control over the raising, education, discipling of these children. Now the transhumanism element is just as significant. They're telling these kids right now, you can transcend your, they call it sex assigned at birth, really your sex, right? You can transcend, but if you can transcend your sex, you might be a boy born in a girl's body. Well, why in the world shouldn't you be able to transcend
Starting point is 02:51:10 your humanity altogether? Why shouldn't you be a cat? Why shouldn't you be an elephant? And so this converges with the technology in a very, very evil and dark way, David. I've got a section in the book on the first conference on AI and education hosted by the UN in Beijing, of all places. And they openly said in their final declaration, we're going to fuse
Starting point is 02:51:29 artificial intelligence with education. We're going to connect these kids to the system, and we are going to use this to manipulate and ultimately change their attitudes, values, beliefs, and behaviors. This is what they said in the final document. So that's where they're moving in China now. And a lot of schools are using these headbands that monitor the children's brave wave brain waves and feed this information into a computer so that it can be processed by the algorithms and the ai to determine whether the child's paying attention etc now with neural link folks you don't have to be a conspiracy theorist to project the lines here and see where this is going it is dark it is wicked uh bill gates actually predicted just last year, I believe,
Starting point is 02:52:05 that soon we'd be able to replace teachers with AI. That's what's happening. Teachers are going to become glorified babysitters. The kids are going to sit there on their tablets and eventually with those stupid goggles on their face, learning all about how great open borders are, abortions, et cetera. There's no education going on here anymore. And the sooner parents realize that the better.
Starting point is 02:52:25 Oh yeah. I want to replace Bill Gates. That's what I want to replace. We could get a nice AI. It was not quite as wicked. Anything would not be quite as wicked as that. He's out there. It would be perfect.
Starting point is 02:52:37 Yeah, he's out there, you know, pushing against math now. I mean, he really is going the full two plus two equals yeah two plus two equals five stuff but yeah it truly is a war on parents especially as you pointed out uh you just think about the fact that you must use these pronouns but you must not say mother and father right or mom and dad or whatever uh it is that kind of mind control that we see out there and it really does go back again to the UN and to the children's rights movement that was their UN convention on the rights of the child. If they can say the children have rights, then that's their legal way of shoving parents out.
Starting point is 02:53:14 And so even though we didn't sign on to that treaty ever, the only country that didn't, they are still enforcing this through the courts, enforcing it through the schools and all the rest of that. But let's talk a little bit about homeschooling because it is an amazing opportunity. You know, God has left us this open door for us to have a family, for us to have a relationship with children, for us to actually be able to educate our kids about the things of this world as well as about God. And that is a very, very important window that is there. And it's never been more open since after the lockdown, people are open to it.
Starting point is 02:53:53 They're looking at it. And there's so many more resources. And when we homeschooled our kids, it truly is blossoming there. And there's an opportunity for anybody who wants to do it. Talk a little bit about that. Yeah, I do regard homeschooling as the gold standard. If anybody is capable of doing it, and I believe almost everybody is capable of doing it, I cannot recommend it highly enough. It's one of the best decisions you will make in your entire life. Also one of the most important decisions you will make in your life. So I go back to, you know, the Bible. In Deuteronomy
Starting point is 02:54:25 chapter 6, Deuteronomy chapter 11, you have God explaining to his people how they ought to be educating their children. He says, you know, you need to be teaching them about God and God's laws and God's ways and what he has done for us. When you wake up in the morning, when you're walking by the way, when you're sitting down to eat, when you're laying down to go to bed at night, at all times, you should be educating your children. And I think the most fundamental part to understand, and I do believe we have freedom, we can delegate some of that responsibility
Starting point is 02:54:53 and authority to others, whether it be a homeschool co-op, a Christian school that is thoroughly vetted and well-examined. But with that said, I do believe homeschooling is the gold standard. I believe it's the best possible thing that you can do. Always doing it with community, right? Getting together with other families, getting together through your church and having fun with it.
Starting point is 02:55:12 But I think ultimately we need to get back to a real understanding of what education is. And this is one of the things that the system has caused us to lose. What is the purpose of education? It's a fundamental question that people don't even ask themselves anymore. What do I mean when I say I want my child to be educated? Now, if you ask Google, which tells you men can get pregnant, Google will say the purpose of education, true story, they say the purpose of education is to make your children successful members of society. I asked a couple AIs, they said the same thing. They cited the Washington Compost as a source.
Starting point is 02:55:43 The purpose of education then is either college and career readiness or making your child successful, whatever. Is that really the purpose of education? And I would argue absolutely not. That's not even, you know, third or fourth down the line. And what does it mean, like in a Nazi society or a communist society to be a successful member? Does that mean you're good at snitching on your neighbors? I mean, you're good at guarding the concentration camp and torturing uh political prisoners it's it's absolutely crazy so i said we need to go back to the word of god to understand truly what an education is and you know god gives us again a lot of freedom here he doesn't say you need 25 credit hours of science
Starting point is 02:56:19 and 32 of math um but he does give us the foundations like Proverbs 1.7, Proverbs 9.10 says, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. It's the beginning of knowledge. So if the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge and there is absolutely no fear of the Lord being instilled in our children in virtually any educational setting
Starting point is 02:56:40 with a handful of exceptions in this country, how much wisdom and knowledge are they getting? Well, the answer is none, absolutely none. At best, it's counterfeit. So we've got to go back and ask ourselves the fundamental questions. I actually end the book with a very, very long afterword. Maybe it would have been better to divide up as several chapters, but looking at what did education look like before the government took it over? What does the Bible say about education? What are some resources out there for parents who are thinking about these questions?
Starting point is 02:57:06 And I believe this is one of the most important things we could be thinking about and talking about, David. Oh, absolutely. And just as you said earlier, when you're talking about a family, you said a two-parent, that would be ideal, and that's the goal. But, hey, you know, we still need to be a parent, even if there's just one of us. And when you look at homeschooling, you can say, well, I would like to do classical homeschooling. Oh, that'd be great. But that's really a lot.
Starting point is 02:57:31 I don't know if I could do that. Well, you don't necessarily have to do that. You know, you can aim for certain things. If you don't have two parents in your family, there are other ways that you can do that. Especially now there are so many more resources, so many more people who are looking to partner in community to help to do this. And so there's a lot of resources that are out there.
Starting point is 02:57:50 And sometimes we look at this and say, well, I can't do the ideal, so I won't even get started. But what I have found is that if you do this with the purpose of honoring God, God has always promised us that he will honor those who honor him. And it's an amazing blessing. Everybody that I know, and I know a lot of people now since I'm older who have homeschooled their kids, and everybody that did it, they are so blessed by the relationship that they have with their kids and have no regrets whatsoever about it.
Starting point is 02:58:21 It's one of the best things you can do with your life. And when you're looking at society, you know, this whole thing about the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. Well, these people who want to rule the world have been rocking the cradle and we need to get their hands off of our cradles because they've rocked our world and they've rocked it in a very negative way. And we need to take back control of the cradle and we need to take back control of our kids. And I think that whatever you can do is a move in the right direction. You know, we did a very informal homeschooling curriculum with our kids, but you know, we, we were there with them and we talked to them in the way as we're in the way, so to speak. And so it was kind of a peripatetic form of instruction, but there's so many different ways that you can do it. And it is an amazing
Starting point is 02:59:08 blessing to have that relationship with your kids. One of the best relationships you could ever have in life. And the best way to have that relationship, I think, is to work with your kids. I'm so glad that you did this book. And again, understand that you know she said you've got a very long afterward toward a christian vision of education and uh and what did we have and what could we have again that's up to each and every one of us you know we don't have to get the permission of trump or biden to educate our kids ever you know even if they try to impose that on us we can still do it ourselves and so that should be our attitude that we're not going to do it. But right now, we have this amazing opportunity. I said to my wife 30 years ago, when we started this whole process, I said, you know, isn't it interesting how we've
Starting point is 02:59:54 lost freedom in every aspect of our society, except when it comes to education? And somehow, God has left that door open, hasn't he? Absolutely. And it's such a joy. You know, I would warn people that the totalitarians are coming for us. So we've got to stand firm. This is a non-negotiable issue. You will not have my children. And that's a line that will not be crossed. And every parent needs to make that determination. We will not let someone go across that line.
Starting point is 03:00:22 But they're coming at us from all angles. They want to criminalize homeschooling. They want to start giving us government money so they can suck us back into the system we just fled from. So, folks, watch out. Right now is a great time to homeschool. Pull your children out of the burning building right now. Cut your ties with the government. I mean, obviously, I recommend that people follow state laws as best they can on these issues.
Starting point is 03:00:41 You don't want to get in unnecessary trouble. But if it comes down to it and they say hand your children over the answer's got to be no i've got to go to another country if i got to go underground it's not happening they're not having my children period end of discussion yeah yeah we've got uh homeschoolers here not too far from where you live in tennessee who were political refugees out of germany because they wouldn't let them homeschool they would take their kids away from them and they've been here for over a decade and and now the biden administration tried to deport them a couple of months ago. Then they gave up after there was a lot of publicity about it. But that's the heart
Starting point is 03:01:11 of our current federal government. They are in alignment with these Germans who want to take the kids away from people. That's really where we are. So we're not that far away from it. It's important for people to understand the foundation of this. And again, you can find the book at your website, right? LibertySentinel.org. And tell us again the title of the book. I've got it here, but it's a couple pages over. Go ahead.
