The David Knight Show - Tue Episode #2039: MAGA Turns on Thomas Massie for Defending the Constitution

Episode Date: June 24, 2025

The Cult of the Omnipotent State (01:00:44 – 01:24:01)A 1999 article is used to explore how political movements adopt cult-like behavior, with criticism directed at both leftist ideologies and MAGA.... The discussion links bureaucracies, education, taxation, and political idolatry to a broader pattern of state worship. MAGA as a Political Cult and the Attack on Thomas Massie (01:14:43 – 01:26:02)The MAGA movement is described as exhibiting extreme cult dynamics, exemplified by attacks on Thomas Massie for dissenting from Trump-era spending and war policy. Loyalty to political figures is shown to override constitutional principles.Ruby Ridge, Waco, and Christian Complicity (01:21:16 – 01:22:17)Historic government actions at Ruby Ridge and Waco are used to illustrate how public indifference—particularly among Christians—enabled state violence. The moral danger of ignoring civil liberty violations is emphasized.Government Worship vs. Christian Liberty (01:13:13 – 01:14:26)Taxation is contrasted with biblical charity, arguing that compulsory redistribution has supplanted voluntary giving. The segment questions how civic compliance is treated as virtuous despite funding immoral policies.Commentary on False Religious Leaders in Politics (01:09:28 – 01:10:04)Political figures who invoke divine authority or use moral language to justify policy are criticized. Spiritual and moral issues are argued to require non-political solutions, and the dangers of state-sanctioned morality are highlighted.Criticism of Euphemistic Framing of Military Strikes (01:50:49 – 01:54:56)Explores how political leaders use euphemisms like “war on Iran’s nuclear program” to rebrand acts of war, while celebrating precision bombing and avoiding acknowledgment of civilian deaths.Congressional Criticism of Unauthorized War Powers (02:00:03 – 02:04:42)Multiple Democrats and Thomas Massie condemn Trump’s strikes on Iran as unconstitutional and dangerous, with calls to pass a War Powers Resolution and prevent further escalation.Accusations of Republican Compliance for Profit (02:06:58 – 02:08:00)Critiques Republican lawmakers for falling in line with war decisions due to fear of Trump and financial incentives tied to the military-industrial complex.Historical Context for Anti-American Sentiment in Iran (02:10:44 – 02:14:15)Describes Operation Ajax, regime change, and decades of U.S. policy as root causes of Iranian hostility, arguing that longstanding grievances—not irrational hatred—explain tensions.Trump Calls for Regime Change While Denying It (02:23:36 – 02:24:27)Trump mocks the phrase “regime change” while suggesting Iran should be bombed into becoming “great again,” contradicting claims by his administration that the strike wasn’t about regime change.Trump and MAGA Attack Massey Over Israel Dissent (02:55:17 – 03:01:27) Discussion of Trump's effort to politically destroy Rep. Thomas Massey for opposing military support for Israel, with accusations of MAGA cultism and blind allegiance to foreign policy agendas.Ted Cruz Reveals U.S. Involvement in Israeli Strikes (03:01:30 – 03:06:12) Ted Cruz appears to accidentally confirm U.S. support for Israeli attacks on Iran during a tense interview, triggering debate over foreign entanglements and false theological justifications.Critique of Misapplied Scripture in U.S.-Israel Policy (03:12:01 – 03:13:34)Pushes back against common Christian Zionist theology, arguing that blessings promised to Abraham do not apply to modern states, and questions what benefits the U.S. has received for supporting Israel.Charlie Kirk Criticized for Exploiting Christian Sentiment (03:20:56 – 03:21:32)Charlie Kirk is accused of manipulating Christian audiences with shallow biblical appeals to justify support for Israeli militarism and territorial expansion.Grace Schara Case: Legal System Shields Hospital Misconduct (03:34:05 – 03:47:00)Grace’s family expresses heartbreak after losing their medical wrongful death suit, highlighting how tort caps, insurance favoritism, and anti-companionship statutes insulate hospitals from accountability.End-of-Life Meds and Systemic Abuse in U.S. Hospitals (03:47:01 – 03:58:35)Family testimony and commentary allege Grace was euthanized under COVID-era protocols, implicating morphine use, undisclosed sedatives, and hospital incentives for causing avoidable deaths. Follow the show on Kick and watch live every weekday 9:00am EST – 12:00pm EST https://kick.com/davidknightshow Money should have intrinsic value AND transactional privacy: Go to https://davidknight.gold/ for great deals on physical gold/silver For 10% off Gerald Celente's prescient Trends Journal, go to https://trendsjournal.com/ and enter the code KNIGHT Find out more about the show and where you can watch it at TheDavidKnightShow.comIf you would like to support the show and our family please consider subscribing monthly here: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/the-david-knight-showOr you can send a donation throughMail: David Knight POB 994 Kodak, TN 37764Zelle: @DavidKnightShow@protonmail.comCash App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.

Starting point is 00:00:00 Music As the clock strikes 13, it is Tuesday, the 24th of June, Year of Our Lord 2025. We're going to look at the Cult of the omnipotent state a warning from all the way back in 1999 And Donald Trump is on the warpath not just against Iran, but also Thomas Massey We're also gonna look at the grace shara lawsuit stay with us. The I'm going to turn it over to you. Well, good morning folks and welcome back. You can see it is not any of your wonderful guest hosts. I am Travis Knight and I will be your host for the day. I want to start off by thanking everyone who stepped in for us. Tony Arterburn, Jason Barker, Angry Tiger, Karen
Starting point is 00:02:26 Carpenter, Gard Goldsmith. They all did such a fantastic job. We cannot thank them enough. It was really wonderful of them to take time out of their busy schedules to do that for us. And we really do appreciate it. Because of that, we were able to, my wife and I and son were able to spend some time with her family. Little David got to see her parents and spend a lot of time playing with them. It was really wonderful. So thank them all. We thank them all so very, very much for that. It was truly a blessing. As I said, they were going to start by looking at the cult of the omnipotent state. This was published all the way back in the deep reaches of time, the time known as 1999. And it rings more true today than it ever did at those times. In fact, if you were to tell me it was written yesterday, I would believe you. The cult of the Omnipotent State part one and of course
Starting point is 00:03:26 Both the leftists and MAGA are part of a cult This is especially true of the Zionist Republicans who give some sort of special spiritual meaning to the land of Israel They are actively Seeking ways to make it more cultish For years libertarians have talked of the cult of the omnipotent state until recently had not given much detailed thought to this phrase. Oh sure I had long believed that the beast of the beast described in Revelation 13 5 through 8 would be a political figure.
Starting point is 00:03:58 Also I had long subscribed to the view of political essayist Joseph Sobran that the 20th century super state had become much like the Catholic Church of the Middle Ages in its unquestioned dominance of our culture. Lest any Catholics take offense, Mr. Sobran is a very vocal Catholic. Not long ago I received two emails from Buff Scott of Phoenix, Arizona, who hosts a very fine webpage and a mailing list entitled Reformation Rumblings. I haven't a clue as to Mr. Scott's political stance, if he even has one. However, the focus of his page is pure, peeling away the excess baggage
Starting point is 00:04:30 which the culture, including many professing Christian churches, has heaped onto Christianity, and returning to steal a phrase from C.S. Lewis, to mere Christianity. Mr. Scott does this extremely well. The first email dealt with the issue of what constitutes a cult. Mr. Scott does this extremely well. The first email dealt with the issue of what constitutes a cult. Mr. Scott's words, cultism may be described as allegiance and devotion to any human person, or any human principle, or to any human standard as a means of eternal salvation. He maintains any movement, sect, church, religious party, or denomination that falls into this category is either holy or partly cultist. He then offers a list of 22 characteristics of a cult.
Starting point is 00:05:13 And he has a link in this article. To read the emails, please click here. Upon reading this list, I kept thinking that the modern state has many of these characteristics. While the state does not promise eternal salvation, it wants our unquestioning loyalty. This is true of Soviet-style regimes as well as our current form of government in the United States which took root around 1912 and not 1992. It is very common for both conservative and liberal Christians to claim Jesus as being on their side in advancing their statist agendas and demand political conformity as evidence of
Starting point is 00:05:46 salvation. That's right, don't stray from the accepted norm. Don't stray from Donald Trump's agenda if you don't completely and utterly vocally support whatever Donnie is doing. You're gonna get cast out into outer darkness, where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. Titalitarian states inevitably write God out of the picture altogether and persecute Christians. After all, if the state is capable of producing heaven on earth, why does anyone need God and his promise of heaven in the next life? Herewith is Mr. Scott's listing of 22 cult characteristics in Blue Italics, with
Starting point is 00:06:25 my editorial interjections in plain type. Number 1. They practice Separatism and devote much of their time to proselyte others. Witness how bureaucrats keep a vice grip over our lives while they sit in their ivory towers immune from so much of the uncertainty we face. Do you work in regulated industry? I do. Do the bureaucrats regulating you ever come out and get their fingernails dirty doing your job? The state commission, which regulates me certainly does not.
Starting point is 00:06:53 Do bureaucrats constantly remind you that they continue the tissue thin line between you and anarchy? They constitute the tissue thin line between you and anarchy. The commission which regulates me sends a monthly newsletter reminding me what a wonderful job they are doing. Meanwhile, in real life, the large majority of consumers of the service my industry provides continue to be ripped off to a frightening degree." That's right, we're continually reminded that without the DMV it would be anarchy on the
Starting point is 00:07:17 roads. How would anything function without them issuing these little plastic cards that lets you so wonderfully drive anywhere. Of course it's a privilege, right? You don't have the right to travel. It's a privilege that they issue you, because if they just let anyone do it, it would be chaos. Not that anyone is ever turned away at the DMV. Their efforts to convert others are underhanded and manipulative. As the election of 2000 heats up the worst of times television radio on the internet to be gridlocked with candidates promising that if you elect them you will have something eg free medical care free college education and end to poverty crime racism drug use etc
Starting point is 00:08:15 the Bible never promises they will never tell you the price you will pay for all of this in time money and freedom someone far wiser than I once stated that a government which can give you everything You want first needs to take everything you have This is as I said more true today than it ever was in 1999 all of these problems were kicked into high gear in the new Millennium the election of Obama the election of Obama saw things turned up to 11. He initiated a cult of personality more than there ever had been before, at least from my perspective. Maybe some of you older folks remember previous elections and could say whether
Starting point is 00:08:58 JFK or any of these other rising stars had that level of cult of personality around them. But no one seemed to worship George W. Bush the way they worshiped Obama and now Donald Trump. Of course that star faded a little bit with Joe Biden. There wasn't much to get excited about there. He was very hard to assign any sort of interest in. He was more just a placeholder, someone to carry the torch for their political agenda. The group's leaders claim to be God's prophets or messiahs or apostles who receive divine revelations. Liberal Christians claim to have God on their side in advancing their socialist agendas, see the eighth and tenth commandments for the truth. Conservative Christians claim to have
Starting point is 00:09:42 God on their side in their totally futile efforts use the state to eradicate drug use pornography gambling alcoholism etc See Colossians 2 20 through 23 for the truth. We understand that these are not physical problems They affect the body, but they have a spiritual root addiction Can only be solved through spiritual means It is a spiritual issue Got some comments here kwd68 cults have leader slash gods cults accept no other ideas cults demonize opposition
Starting point is 00:10:15 Cults joyously exalt the actions of their leader MAGA might just be a cult it just might be We're hitting levels of cult that shouldn't even be possible The front porch media MAGA are mostly thinking people many of which are currently confused or disappointed might be. We're hitting levels of cult that shouldn't even be possible. The Front Porch media, MAGA, are mostly thinking people, many of which are currently confused or disappointed. Well I hope that's true, Front Porch. I really do. I have seen some people in MAGA that are becoming disillusioned, but so far the vast majority of them seem to be completely and utterly behind Donald Trump. Whatever he does, they're more than willing to back up and come up with
Starting point is 00:10:48 post-hoc justifications as to why it's 4D chess, not just him being in the pockets of some other country doing their bidding, continuing the status quo. More from KWD-68. MAGA are people who want their old nation back and have latched on to someone who is doing as much to take it over the cliff than anyone else. It's actually MIGA. We're going to talk about that later. MIGA of course means make Israel great again. Something we have all seen good old Zion Don be willing to do. Alan J78, Trump cult is much worse than the Obama cult. I would agree with you. I think Trump has been more in your face and more overt with
Starting point is 00:11:33 the levels of totalitarianism that he is engaged in. The COVID-19 scamdemic was just utterly insane to anyone that was paying even the slightest bit of attention. To anyone that looked at it and went, huh, okay, this doesn't make any sense. Even if you got taken for a ride a little bit at the beginning before there was any kind of data, it should have become obvious very quickly that this had no business. Even if the data was true, the government had no business doing what it did. Let me preface by saying that. But even if you were a little bit panicked and came to the conclusion that, alright, we need to sacrifice some liberty for safety, you shouldn't.
Starting point is 00:12:12 But even if you came to that conclusion, you should very rapidly have realized, okay, this isn't adding up. We need to reassess things here. And it was so completely overt after a while. Denver Attaway, both Trump and Obama cults led us to hell. That's right, that's right. Patty Wax, there were cults of the Kennedys for decades. FDR was worshiped.
Starting point is 00:12:33 I don't think there's anything new under the sun in this respect. See, that's why I like to get people's perspective who have seen more than I have. I don't have anything previous to George W. Bush. That's when I was old enough to really start paying attention. But we'll continue with the article. I appreciate all the comments. Please keep them coming. They teach us that all their churches and groups are lost unless they surrender what they have and join them.
Starting point is 00:12:57 God asks for a voluntary contribution of 10% of your earnings, which is to be given cheerfully and without coercion, 2nd Corinthians 9, 6. Caesar puts a gun at your head for half of everything you earn a True meaning of give to Caesar. What is Caesar's Matthew 22 21 has been totally corrupted much of the contemporary church has acquiesced and the Has acquiesced in the belief that you should pay whatever taxes are imposed on you as a matter of Christian obedience and that doing so constitutes some glorious civic duty. This is hogwash. No one has ever read the Internal Revenue Code in its entirety and you are guilty until proven innocent if you stand accused of violating it. Its true purpose is to keep you on your knees before Caesar. Also ask yourself this, when you when you pay taxes are you
Starting point is 00:13:41 conforming with the Golden Rule, Matthew 71212? Or are you just jumping through hoops to stay out of jail? And of course, we know what our taxes are funding. We see what they're accomplishing across the globe, whether it's bombing Gaza or Iran, or funding weird LGBTQ projects in small nations around the globe. Our tax dollars are being used for all kinds of wickedness and insanity. It's no wonder the rest of the world has come to hate America. It is no wonder that they see us as nothing but a giant bully. A wicked bully that they must to some extent appease or pay the price. Angry tigers den, Obama laid the foundation
Starting point is 00:14:24 of division trump poured in the cement they're all working together it's a back and forth good to see you angry tiger thank you again for monday it was really kind of you to jump in last minute and host that we really do appreciate it their leaders are dictatorial and demanding either directly or subtly. Well I think that definitely applies. Donald Trump is the most demanding politician I've seen in my lifetime. I'm gonna cover what's going on with Thomas Massey and the fact that he dares to oppose Donald Trump on anything is seen as complete, seen as mutiny because Donald Trump is the party. He is the one in control and if you oppose him, if you do anything that he
Starting point is 00:15:13 doesn't like, he will lash out. He will do anything in his power to get rid of you. He is demanding that you pay homage, that you bend the knee, and you submit to His plans. I claim to have the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Either do things the state's way and in accordance with the state's timetables, or the state will fine you, jail you, kill you. You will pay your taxes by April 15th, enroll your children in the state's school by a certain date, and see to it that the barrel of your shotgun is not a millimeter too short. It is a contrary to the spirit of 2 Peter 3, 9, which describes God as patient with
Starting point is 00:15:48 you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. That's right, God is patient and long-suffering, forgiving. The state is cruel and capricious, and has no mercy. Members are expected to attend study sessions where they are finally indoctrinated, brainwashed of the group's mundane creed, and human theories. Witness the monolith of state education also witnessed the widespread growth of sensitivity training for anyone who may act in a politically incorrect manner.
Starting point is 00:16:19 Sensitivity training is also increasingly popular in large corporations, so many which have forsaken their free market roots in favor of fealty to the state. And of course, this was, as I've said before, from 1999. Sensitivity training got even more insane with these DEI consultancy people that come in and explain to you why you're evil because you're white. Why you need to repent of the sin of whiteness and make sure that you understand how bad you are. How wrong you are. It became completely and utterly mad. They resent having their doctrines and creeds questioned. Once again, look at what happens when you point out Donald Trump's flaws, how he's lied, his campaign promises broken. Look how MAGA
Starting point is 00:17:13 reacts very frequently. Oh, you're a libtard. You're one of those liberals ain't ya boy. You just don't respect our president, gosh darn it. It's truly sad to see this... They have lost all critical thinking ability. It is not that I do not love this country. It is that I do not believe Donald Trump has its best interests at heart. And I do not believe he is doing what he does because he loves this country. I think if something good happens to this country, it is happenstance because he wants to make himself look better, and the things that he does are largely to serve his own
Starting point is 00:17:55 interests and the interests of people like him, other megalomaniac billionaires. They resent having their doctrines and creeds questioned. If you go too far against the grain, not only will the media heap ridicule on you, you will also find yourself marginalized by those who purport to be your friends. If you keep things non-controversial and go along with the Republican agenda, which is 198-proof Clintonism, you'll be okay. If you get really serious about limited government and get behind such policy prescriptions as withdrawing from the United Nations or actually eliminating a federal agency, do not expect to get very far."
Starting point is 00:18:27 This reminds me years ago now. I told some people, Bill Clinton was the last Republican president and I have always refused to elaborate on that and I will continue to refuse to elaborate on that, but it's true. Bill Clinton was the last Republican president, you can quote me. Heaven helped the public official who presents hard evidence that the war on drugs has been a counterproductive monumental failure. Once again, 1999. All of the failures he is referencing here have compounded. They have gotten worse. They have snowballed. They have become much more detrimental than they ever were at that time. 1999 seems
Starting point is 00:19:05 like a paradise from where we sit now. The hand basket is on fire. It has gotten quite uncomfortably hot inside it and we're beginning to wonder what the area code is of the place we're in. They believe salvation and afterlife are found only in their camp. Do you use someone's position on abortion as a litmus test to determine whether or not they are a Christian? Is their position on abortion more important to you than whether or not they have Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior? Or is your primary concern converting people to Christ and getting them to walk in His ways? If more people lived their daily lives with Christ as their first priority, we would see a lot less of the bad stuff that we say we do not want, including
Starting point is 00:19:44 abortion. Words of former Moral Majority Insider Cal Thomas, the power of a changed life is far greater than the power of the state. Are we more concerned with changing lives or changing laws? That's right, only the Gospel is divinely powerful and transformative. The doctrines of libertarianism, of freedom, of the free market, have no innate power within them. They can be used as a logical tool to argue with people. You can show them that they are good principles, that they lead to better outcomes, but they do not have any inherently
Starting point is 00:20:26 divine power within them. The gospel does. That is the only thing that can change someone from within. Those who desert the group are judged evil and apostates. Witness the ridicule directed by the state education establishment towards those who homeschool their kids. The Oklahoma City bombing was blamed on gun owners, Christians, anti-tax activists, libertarians, militias, the new Republican majority. Talk or should I say hate radio and just about anyone else who opposed the Clinton agenda. As I write this, I am watching a Fox News broadcast on the Waco Holocaust. The popular response to Waco went something like, those people were so weird anyway for
Starting point is 00:21:03 following a wacko like Koresh. They did not really have rights to keep and bear arms, due process, etc. That so many Christians echoed these sentiments is frightening. It opens the door that much more to potential for persecution of Christians in the United States. I was very young when Waco happened. But I do remember my dad talking about how he was disgusted with the way Christians just wanted to distance themselves. Yes, the Davidians were very strange. They were whack out. They were a bit whacked out. Koresh was not preaching a true gospel.
Starting point is 00:21:37 That doesn't mean we should sanction their murder by the state. That doesn't mean we should throw up our hands and be like, oh,, we're not like them, so you know, that's fine. We want to make sure that you understand we're not crazy like they were. They were weird, and so it's okay to burn men, women, and children alive if they're a little bit weird. They dictate almost every facet of the members' lives, sexual, social, domestic, political, and spiritual. American society is just as regimented as many European societies, which we'd ride as socialists. No matter what the problem, left and right wingers have a solution which involves tighter control over the citizenry. Christians are no different than secular folks.
Starting point is 00:22:19 So many times this is true. They have the be-all end-all solution and it involves bringing the state and the government in to solve the problem They're going to make sure that it works this time It hasn't ever before but maybe just this once just this once with their perfectly crafted plan the hammer Will truly work sure it's not a nail but know, maybe the hammer can do the job we need. They deny God has other children scattered over the hills and valleys of sectarianism. Please see the remarks after paragraph 9 in Cal Thomas' words, it is much easier to control people than to love people.
Starting point is 00:23:00 It is much easier to demonize people and call them names than it is to exercise God's patience as described in 2nd Peter 3, 9. And I, I again, I will freely admit I struggle with this. It is difficult for me to not come across as snide and condescending. And I do my best not to, but it is very, very difficult. I do not want to be that way I want to be kind I want to be able to show God's love because it is not Going to benefit anybody It's not going to do anybody any good If I am able to assert that I am more intelligent than they are that if I can beat them in a debate Something good will happen. It means nothing in the grand scheme of things
Starting point is 00:23:43 It'll mean much more if I'm able to show them God's love. My intelligence or lack thereof either way matters exceedingly little. They believe God's elect are found only within the borders of their own enclosure. Honest dissidents are disciplined, avoided, excommunicated. Do you believe we should reduce the size of government rather than merely slowing its growth? Do you believe we should reduce the size of government rather than merely slowing its growth? Do you believe that we should end the income tax and replace it with nothing? Do you believe in the separation of school and state?
Starting point is 00:24:12 Do you believe that there is no constitutional basis whatsoever for the war on drugs? Do you believe that the United States should withdraw from the UN? See how far you get in the American political mainstream. And we see all of those things have continued to this very day and as I keep saying have gotten worse since 1999. They have gotten more entrenched. They've become more part of the norm. To buck them is to be seen as strange, to be ostracized. They insist on strict conformity to the group's doctrinal standards. Just as religious cults ignore the heavenly rule book, political cultists just as conveniently
Starting point is 00:24:53 disregard their temporal rule book, the US Constitution. The party line is far more important than adherence to the oath to support and defend the supreme law of the land. That's right, we have seen this over and over again, but especially with Donald Trump. Again, his war on Thomas Massie, because Thomas Massie dares to oppose his big, beautiful bill, which is going to spike the debt more than ever. It is going to potentially, if Trump gets his way, just get rid of the debt ceiling altogether and his opposition to war with Iran.
Starting point is 00:25:30 That is enough for Trump to declare war on him, to say he has to go because he doesn't toe the party line. Defy tyrants, 1776. You will either be ruled by God or by an evil tyrant. Seems America made their choice. Yes, they have been making that same choice for many, many years. Certainly since before I was born. More from defy tyrants. No one ever held accountable for Ruby Ridge or Waco or 9-11 or Convid or any other long
Starting point is 00:25:56 list of government atrocities. That's right. They like to get together and have these hearings. They like to get Trey Gowdy or someone like him out there so we can strut and preen and say these zingers, these one-liners that leave these people speechless. At the end of the day they go back to their bureaucracy, they crawl back into their hole, and they continue to do whatever it is they did before. Trey Gowdy gets to look good on camera, he gets to have his moment in the sun, but nothing ever changes, nothing ever happens. They continue to push the exact same type of thing as they did before. KWD 68. Every time Trump rants on Massey, he gets more money for his coffers and it's no, APAC. That's right. I'm going to talk about how the uh,
Starting point is 00:26:48 We're going to talk about how the, uh, APAC is not happy with Thomas Massey either. There's a lot of Jewish money that wants to get Thomas Massey out of politics. They want him out, they want him gone. Their teachings contradict plain truth. As Harry Brown so succinctly put it, government doesn't work. This is the plain, simple, obvious truth that is drowned out in a daily torrent of lies which emanate from governing bodies from Aurora, Colorado, where this page originates, to Washington, D.C., to Pyongyang, North Korea. These lies are echoed by the government slackies and the media.
Starting point is 00:27:17 In Joseph Sobrand's words, we do not have a watchdog media, we have a lapdog media. Is it any wonder the government and the old line mainstream media are nervous about talk radio and the internet? We have seen over the years the internet has utterly superseded talk radio and the old ways of getting news. People get so much more information on the internet than they ever did from the mainstream media. Fun fact, I got to meet Harry Brown once. We were at a libertarian something or other. It was being held in a park. He, I forget if he showed
Starting point is 00:27:55 up later, we got there early, but I spent the entire time before he showed up chasing squirrels and when he showed up I was laying on the ground and he just walked over and was like, hello young man, how are you doing? He's like, I'm tired from chasing squirrels and he didn't know what to do with that information. But he was like, oh and walked away. So that's my Harry Brown interaction. Their source of authority is of human origin. In the Republic which our founders gave us the central government was strictly limited. Its powers were few and defined. The Christians could go straight to their real king for guidance on how to live their
Starting point is 00:28:26 lives. In our contemporary democracy, authority shifts with the whims and passions of the majority. A wit once remarked that democracy is a system in which two wolves and a sheep take a majority vote on what's for supper. Rights become little more than a football to be fought over by warring factions. Not only are our rights not imperiled, we have come to consider as such as normal such unconstitutional things as legislation by judges and presidential executive orders." Well, we've certainly seen that over the years, haven't we? It has increased exponentially since 1999. Both Obama, Biden, and Trump have issued so many executive orders, it's hard to keep track of them all.
Starting point is 00:29:12 How would you even start? They require a new convert to be rebaptized, although he was sincerely rebaptized previously. This is the only one of Mr. Scott's cult characteristics which I had difficulty discerning the modern state. However, Social Security Number might be considered a form of state anointing. Revelation 13, 18. Tunnel Lord 1337, good to see you, Tunnel Lord. Hope you're doing alright. I think all this cult behavior comes from people being brainwashed into thinking
Starting point is 00:29:49 They can't defend their liberty on their own. It's incorrect belief that leads them This incorrect belief then leads them to believe they need some sort of champion to save their liberty That's right. You do not need a Savior a physical Person to put your hopes in you have an eternal savior that you can put your hopes in. Putting your hopes in any man is foolish. That's right. Lance says only people are able to defend their own liberty. That is correct. Only... it's like Smokey the Bear says, only you can stop forest fires. Only you can protect your liberty. That's the truth of it. That's another reason why I think it is absurd for us to be involved in these conflicts around the world. We say we're making the world safe for democracy. Even if you ignore the fact that democracy is
Starting point is 00:30:32 a terrible form of government, if these people really want democracy they need to get it for themselves. If they truly desire it, they must enact it themselves. You cannot give someone liberty. If they don't want it, they will simply cast it aside. It has to be desired. It has to be protected from within. We have lost it here, and yet we seek to give it to others. They have devised their own translation of scriptures and prohibit any translation not approved by them. Censorship is always a favorite refuge of scoundrels. The Age of the Antichrist will no doubt feature widespread persecution of Christians, prohibition
Starting point is 00:31:09 of scripture reading, and substitution of false, deceptive teachings for those of the Bible. We see people take the word of politicians as gospel on both sides. Their politician can do no wrong. What he says is true. Even if it's obvious falsehood, it's 4D chess. It's interdimensional hyper checkers crossed with mahjong. He's playing games on levels you simply don't understand. KWD 68, Ruby Ridge, and Waco were a wake-up call to many. Most kept buying the narrative and had faith in their party. Waco is a...
Starting point is 00:31:46 Ruby Ridge and Waco were both shocking and obvious examples of the government's brutality and callous disregard of life. Their entire justification for going into Waco was to protect children. That's how they justified it post-hoc. Originally it was because they thought there were some fully-auto weapons there that they might not have had the proper paperwork for. That they might have manufactured some fully-auto guns or made some semi-autos into fully-automatic weapons.
Starting point is 00:32:17 And as such, you've gotta go in. But after the dust settled and they started to realize, oh, we're starting to look kinda bad here. People are starting to question this What's a good way to spin this? Oh, right. Um, we'll create some narrative that the children were being abused the people in the town Had ever made any such allegations as far as I'm aware. They had never had anyone alleged that as far as I can tell and Apparently alleged that, as far as I can tell. And, apparently, from what I remember seeing, the government
Starting point is 00:32:48 went in and fabricated some pamphlets, post-hoc, after the fact, to spread around, saying that the cult had been doing that sort of thing. No one remembers seeing them before any of it happened. No one remembers seeing them until after the state showed up and started beating down their doors and setting them on fire. Don't frag me bro, David Koresh was never indicted for any crimes. It's just what I'm talking about now. It was all a post-hoc justification that they manufactured to give the media a better spin on things. Members are expected to give large amounts of money and ample energy and time to the group's activities. In 1 Samuel 8, 4 through 20, God warns the children of Israel of the consequences of having a strong earthly king,
Starting point is 00:33:32 see remarks after paragraph 4, for more on how far we have departed from any legitimate reading of render unto Caesar. Not only would this king tax his subjects severely, he would also draft them into his army and impress them into other forms of what we now euphemistically call national service. Compulsory national service and military draft are common characteristics of socialist regimes. They allege to be the only legitimate interpreters of scripture. They rest scripture to foster their belief system. Mr. Scott concludes by saying that it isn't necessary that a group or movement be entirely religious or even religious at all to qualify as a cult. There are certain traits that help us establish whether a group is wholly cultist, partly
Starting point is 00:34:18 cultist or non-cultist. A bona fide cult may not possess all of them, indeed rarely do we find one that carries all the symptoms, but each has enough of them, particularly the principal ones, to qualify. Mr. Scott makes cultism sound like a communicable disease. Perhaps it is. In any case, the modern super-state is quite cultish. What should the Christian response be to all this? Check this location early October.
Starting point is 00:34:43 I will use Mr. Scott's description of what separates a non-cult from a cult to discuss how Christians can seriously impact society for the better while acting in accordance with the biblical teachings. The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise his authority for 42 months. He opened his mouth to blaspheme God and to slander his name and dwelling place and those who live in heaven He was given power to make war against them and to conquer them and he was given authority over every tribe people language and nation All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast all whose names have not been written in the book of life and That is the end of that article again that is from 1999 it is as prescient
Starting point is 00:35:27 Today even more so than it was in 99. It is spot on with what we see. Because they run the same playbook. It works. If it works, don't change it. They figured out how to get people to do what they want and as such, they have no reason to switch things up on them.

We'll get it figured out It should be live there tomorrow. I know that they had some issues on D live yesterday So it could be an issue on their end on D lives And I should say but we'll get it worked out and see why it isn't working, but I'll give you an update My dad is doing better. He still is struggling with his speech a little bit. He is doing speech
Starting point is 00:40:33 therapy to work on that. He prays, he would ask that you pray for the nerves in his tongue and the vocal cords. They were slightly, they were damaged when they put the tube down his throat for breathing when they did the operation And they had to move a nerve out of the way when they did the surgery that was in his jaw And of course anytime you even touch a nerve it can be damaging to it So please pray that he would be healed quickly that his speech would be restored to him fully Because I know for one that I'm eager to have him back in the chair. I would very much like to have his insight on these things. We talk and I get his take on things and he leaves
Starting point is 00:41:15 me notes about what he thinks about things as well. So I'm doing my best to convey as much of what he thinks about things as possible. But I know for a fact that we all want him back here. That we can't... I know I can't wait until he's back in the chair. So thank you all for being with us. We will take a quick break and when we come back we're gonna look at what's going on with the war with Iran. So stay with us. The I'm So I'm going to be a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a
Starting point is 00:43:12 little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a I'm sorry. The Defending the American Dream. You're listening to the David Knight show welcome back and
Starting point is 00:44:27 as you can see I am still not David Knight but I am the son Travis Knight and I appreciate you being with us today so if you're enjoying the stream please drop a like on it wherever you're watching whether it's live or it's the recorded version that we post afterwards if you're listening on Spreaker Please like the podcast as well. We really do appreciate it and it really does help And before I get into this article here we've got some comments real jason barker As opposed to all the fake jason barkers out there. This is the real one. He is the real McCoy, the prime article, and he is a very good friend. So thank you so much, Jason. That is incredibly kind and incredibly generous. Can we get an update
Starting point is 00:45:13 on David and a status on the gas gauge? He is doing better. We got home late last, on Sunday night, not last night, Sunday. We got home well after 11 o'clock, but they were still up and I got to talk with him then he sounded much much better to my ear He is coming along. He is doing better as before when he first got home physically He was very very weak had to use a wheelchair a lot of the time then he moved to a walker Into a cane and he's largely able to get around without the cane at this time so physically is much better much much better and his speech is much better than it was but please continue to pray for his healing and the restoration of it fully as I said before they damaged his vocal cords and had to move a nerve out of the way in his jaw when they were doing the
Starting point is 00:46:02 surgery on his carotid artery which of course when you touch a nerve at all it is damaging to it. So please pray that he would have his speech restored and that he'd be back in this seat. But he is doing a lot better. As for the gas gauge, Lance are you able to pull up the website real fast? I have been out of the loop for about a week as I said I was with my wife and son visiting her family. As you can see we're a little bit over halfway there so we really do appreciate all the support but we are getting towards the end of the month now. It is the 24th of June so we have got just about one week
Starting point is 00:46:40 left, just about one week left so if you would like to sneak in under the wire and get us over the edge we'd greatly appreciate it. It's because of the support from people like Jason and everyone who listens that we're able to continue to do this and we greatly appreciate it. We really do. It is, it has been amazing to see the outpouring of love and support from everyone, whether it is financial or prayers or just kind words we've gotten. My dad has gotten so many cards in the mail just wishing him well and saying what he means
Starting point is 00:47:12 to people and it has been truly wonderful to see. Nights of the Storm, to asking Angry Tiger, I'm curious for your take on the stock market getting a bump as we are on the brink of nuclear war. Gold and silver took a hit but is back on the rise and that does not jive with markets. Very confusing right now. So if Angry Tiger responds, we're gonna look for that. We're gonna make sure we get it. Angry Tiger does a great job monitoring the markets and keeping up with that. He is very well informed and we all appreciate his opinion on this sort of thing. He has his own tiger and snake report
Starting point is 00:47:46 I believe that's what it is. He also is one of the hosts of Knights of the Storm So go check them out as well. You can find their website Knights of the Storm.com They have a schedule where they outline all these shows that are similar to this Oh, probably not all of them But all the one they have a large list of ones they keep track of and you can find Their times and where you can watch them there so check out nights of the storm dot com. And of course markets are heavily manipulated but I feel like a large part of the bump is going to be people getting excited for the big profits of the military industrial complex
Starting point is 00:48:19 coming forward which is of course a huge part of the American economy. That's right it's a good time to get some blood money. So if you don't have any scruples maybe you should invest in Raytheon or Boeing or Lockheed Martin. One of those other companies that deals in weapons of war. Denver Attaway. Fun fact the IRS has plans and protocols in place to address tax collection and operations in the event of a nuclear war. KWD-68, 80,000 IRS agents will pick the pockets of corpses and scour the land for the government's share.
Starting point is 00:48:52 All of it. That's right. They'll be out in their hazmat suits, combing the irradiated wasteland to pick your bones clean. We're moving closer and closer to the fallout future folks, so maybe you need to start collecting bottle caps. Trump burger, send the IRS to go fight in Iran. Now that has to constitute some level of war crime. I don't feel comfortable co-signing that Trump burger. I think you might have just violated the
Starting point is 00:49:19 Geneva Convention by even stating such a thing. I would not wish the IRS on my worst enemy. They are they are a pure purely evil part of the government. If there is a part of the government that has demons running around inside of it just out and about, it's probably the IRS. Trump Burger, imagine bombing someone in less than 24 hours later saying, this is the time for peace, that's right. Well, now that we have bombed you, now that we have initiated violence, we'd really appreciate it
Starting point is 00:49:50 if you didn't do anything about it. I know that we have initiated it, we have destroyed your infrastructure, that we have killed some of your people, but you know, it'd be a good look for you not to do anything, you know. Please don't strike back. Audi MRR. David Koresh was the target because of his arsenal of guns.
Starting point is 00:50:10 Nothing else. That's right. David Koresh was simply someone the government didn't like because he was stockpiling guns. They even, if memory serves, had an FFL license. They were legally able to sell and purchase guns. Not that you're not allowed to purchase guns. You know what I mean. So look at 1980. If you like the stream, you can keep the stream.
Starting point is 00:50:35 And that's right, if you like the stream, you can keep it. We are, we're not gonna take it away. We're not gonna change it up on you. It's here. And as I said, we're gonna look at what's going on with the war in iran We have jd vance Saying we're not at war with iran. We're at war with iran's nuclear program. Oh, well, that's good I was worried that we were at war with the country, but we're just
Starting point is 00:51:01 At war with a part of its infrastructure, with a part of their desire to move into the 21st century. So I mean, that's not such a big deal, right? How could we? We're going to play this clip, this absolute insanity, this mumbo jumbo coming from our vice president, JD Vance. The United States now at war with Iran. No, Kristen, we're not at war with Iran. We're at war with Iran's nuclear program.
Starting point is 00:51:31 And let me just say, Kristen, that we're incredibly grateful and proud of the American Air Force pilots who did an incredible job last night. The operation was really extraordinary. These guys flew from Missouri. They didn't land a single time. They dropped 30,000 pound bombs on a target the size of a washing machine and then got back home safely without ever landing in the Middle East or ever stopping other than to briefly refuel and
Starting point is 00:52:00 of course they did that in the air. So it's really an incredible operation, a testament to the power of American military. And I think what shows what can happen when you have that great American military in the hands of capable presidential leadership. What we did is we destroyed the Iranian nuclear program. I think we set that program back substantially and we did it without endangering the lives of the American pilots. That's an incredible thing and I think we all should be proud whatever
Starting point is 00:52:27 whatever our politics we should be proud of what these guys accomplished a very very high-impact mission under a lot of pressure yes that's right we should all be proud that they were able to get in get out undetected destroy their nuclear program kill people without ever so much as having a chance for them to defend themselves. Isn't that wonderful? Isn't it wonderful that we're able to bully these smaller countries, that we're able to bomb them and destroy them without them able to do anything about it because we're that much more technologically advanced? Isn't that just peachy keen folks?
Starting point is 00:53:06 We should all be happy about it. We should all just celebrate this. Also, who, who compares? How is it's about the size of a washing machine. How I'm truly baffled as to why he chose that as the size comparison. It's like, is it just a way to, once again, euphemistically paint things, like dumb things down and make it seem not as scary? Oh, it's like a washing... it's about the size of a washing machine. You know washing machines, they never did anyone any harm.
Starting point is 00:53:42 No reason to fret. It's simply dropping washing machines. They never did anyone any harm. No reason to fret. It's simply dropping washing machines on Iran. Seems like that to me. Nights of the storm, people are looking at war as a profit opportunity so the volume of trade in certain industries may be giving off a false metric on the health of the market. Volume of trades drives pricing quite a bit. That's right, war is good for business. Lots of people make a lot of money when there's war. Blood money is very easy to make apparently. Vice President JD Vance said Sunday on NBC's Meet the Press that President Donald Trump's
Starting point is 00:54:19 military strike on Iran was only on their nuclear program. Host Kristen Welker said, is the United States not at war with Iran? Man said, no, Kristen, we're not at war with Iran. We're at war with Iran's nuclear program. Well, thank goodness. This is just like another war on terror. We're not at war with Iraq or Afghanistan.
Starting point is 00:54:36 We're simply at war with terror. So, you know, we're not really doing anything bad to those countries. This is the war on nukes. Exactly. We're going to war with a nuclear program. So you don't have to worry. It's not going to drag us into a prolonged conflict. It's not going to end up as another debacle. They love these, they love these, again, euphemistic and misleading ways of phrasing things.
Starting point is 00:55:04 We're not at war with Iran. We're at war with their nuclear program. They love these, again, euphemistic and misleading ways of phrasing things. We're not at war with Iran. We're at war with their nuclear program. We're not at war with a country. We're at war with part of their infrastructure. It's a completely different thing. The thing is, is their nuclear program going to strike back? We can only wait and find out.
Starting point is 00:55:24 Man said, no, Kristen, we're not at war with Iran. We're at war with Iran's nuclear program. Let me say, Kristen, we are incredibly proud of the American Air Force pilots who did an incredible job last night. The operation was extraordinary. These guys flew from Missouri. They didn't land a single time. They dropped 30,000 pound bombs on a target the size of a washing machine. Ah, okay, I missed that. The a target the size of a washing machine. Ah, okay I missed that the target was the size of a washing machine. I thought the bomb was the size of a washing machine Truly my bad. I don't mean to misquote mr. Vance. I would not wish to do that I issue a retraction the target was the size of a washing machine
Starting point is 00:55:59 Which hardly matters when they're dropping giant bombs on it say close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades I guess it counts also with these yes, that's right I assume with a 30,000 pound bomb the yield is probably quite enormous I imagine you can get just within you know the general vicinity of a washing machine And you might demolish it you take out quite a few washing machines with each of these you might demolish it. You can take out quite a few washing machines with each of these multi-ton bombs they dropped. That's right. It has been a disastrous day for Maytag. It is a horrifying blow and we can only hope that their stock recovers soon. He added, it's an operation to the testament to the power of the military and it shows what can happen when you have that great military in the hands of presidential leadership.
Starting point is 00:56:50 When you have that great military in the hands of presidential leadership. This is a nothing statement. The military is generally in the hands of presidential leadership. In fact, any time you have a president, which is to say always, it's in the hands of presidential leadership. However, of course, you are supposed to declare war and move it through congress. You are not supposed to unilaterally strike people. You're not supposed to drop bombs on anyone, no matter whether the target is the size of a washing machine or whether it's the size of a, who knows, maybe a Volkswagen Beetle. Whatever arbitrary unit of measurement you wish to use, it doesn't matter. You shouldn't
Starting point is 00:57:25 be doing it unless you have authorized it through Congress. We don't see that anymore. What we did is we destroyed the Iranian nuclear program. We did it without endangering the American pilots. Oh, again, I'm happy that the American pilots are alive. I don't wish to see anyone die in this, but it's such a cynical way of phrasing this by putting all the emphasis on the fact that our people are safe. They're home. They were never in danger. They did this job and they came back, completely glossing over what it's going to do to Iran. The people that were most likely killed in these strikes, they don't matter. But the pilots who did this, their
Starting point is 00:58:10 home, they're safe. We should all be very proud of that, shouldn't we? We should all be incredibly proud. We should ignore the loss of life from Iran because they don't matter. We see this all over the world. Whenever there's some kind of natural disaster or event that happens that endangers lives in other countries. You'll see something along the lines of, you know, earthquake hits whatever country, two Americans lost in the rubble. And of course, you know, they are showing these articles to American audiences, but
Starting point is 00:58:43 it's simply the focus. There might be two Americans whose lives are in danger and it is glossed over what is actually happening to the people of that country. It's a sideline to what is going on with the Americans who might be there. Americans are a very self-centered group of people, a very self-centered nation.
Starting point is 00:59:02 We rarely consider what is going on with other nations. Honor seeker, America's response to Iran is like, the kid that sucker punches you in the hall and then screaming truce when you catch up to them. Well, I never had to deal with that since Lance and I were homeschooled and we had very few fights growing up. We got along quite well. But it's funny that the official policy is essentially no hit
Starting point is 00:59:27 back. No no you can't hit me back. I'll call the teacher. I'll get the UN involved. I'll declare you an invalid state and will wage a proxy war. All right well we'll move on to the next article. Trump hits Iran, left explodes, and even one Republican. I wonder who that Republican might be. That's right, this is by Jasmine Jordan. Leading members of Congress and progressive activists erupted on social media following President Donald Trump's announcement that the United States had launched airstrikes against Iran.
Starting point is 01:00:03 Rep Rashida Tlaib, Dear Colleagues, don't make another mistake in dragging our country into another war, Tlaib tweeted. You can stop the President and warmongers in Congress by signing on to our War Powers Resolution. Stop making me agree with Rashida Tlaib. I don't like it. I don't like looking around and finding myself on the same side as these people. It makes me feel uncomfortable and gross. But sadly, I am forced to, by my own principles.
Starting point is 01:00:34 Because, in this instance, Rashida Tlaib is right. Do you understand how far wrong you have to go for Rashida Tlaib to be able to call you out. It is near impossible and yet somehow Donald Trump moves mountains. He makes the impossible possible. He makes Rashida Tlaib look like a well-reasoned, well-balanced individual that I can agree with because on this issue she is more correct than Donald Trump. We live in a very dark time. Audi MRR, again, good to see you Audi. I know you've commented before but I just want to say it's good to see you and I hope you're doing well. The stage is being set for a major false flag that Iran will be blamed for.
Starting point is 01:01:19 I would not be surprised. The government loves its false flags. That's true. I was kind of expecting a false flag before the attack but now that we've attacked them any false flag would seem a lot more legitimate in a response to our attack. Well obviously they would you know do whatever because we struck them you're giving them justification for attacking us back which I Mean I would not be surprised if Iran did launch some kind of campaign against us, however, I am Am skeptical of their ability to carry things out. I wouldn't be surprised if they attacked us. Sure
Starting point is 01:02:03 I also wouldn't be surprised if they attacked us, sure. I also wouldn't be surprised if someone, the CIA or Mossad, helps us out in attacking, helps them out in attacking us, I should say. Yes, we're going to find some Iranian passports remarkably undamaged in the rubble of whatever happens, and we'll know for certain that it was them. Trump struck Iran without any authorization of Congress. Ro Khanna, a Democrat of California, posted. We need to immediately return to D.C. and vote on at-rep Thomas Massey, a My War Powers resolution to prevent America being dragged into another endless Middle East war.
Starting point is 01:02:37 And of course, Thomas Massey is the one Republican who is opposing this. Massey, a libertarian-leaning Republican, joined Democrats in blasting the strikes writing, this is not constitutional. In response to Trump's post, Thomas Massey is the only one willing to stand up and just point out the simple truth. This is not constitutional. You don't have the power to do this.
Starting point is 01:03:06 You, under the laws of the land, can't do this. Shouldn't do this. And for that crime, that high treason, Donald Trump wants to get rid of him. He's got to go. How dare he oppose me on anything. Don't you know I am the party. I am the law. I am the law. Tunnel Lord 1337. What proof do we have that Iran is going to use their uranium to make nukes? Simply because they possess that element doesn't automatically mean they want to make nukes? Well don't you know, Tunnel Lord, Benjamin Netanyahu and the Mossad, since the mid to late 90s at least, have been saying saying that they're gonna make nukes that they're just a few weeks to months away From it, and they've been saying that since the mid to late 90s, so it's got to be true now
Starting point is 01:03:53 It's got to be true Benjamin Netanyahu and the Mossad would never ever lie to us There are greatest allies tunnel lord. Don't you know that? And of course we've got comments from Telsey Gabbard, the intelligence director, saying they had no evidence of nukes, but hey, I don't care what Telsey Gabbard has to say according to Trump, even though he was the one that put her in there. That's right, his good buddy Benji has the facts, and he knows what's up. Massey, Libertarian-leaning Republican, joined Democrats in blasting the strikes, writing this is not constitutional. Former DNC vice-chair David Hogg also weighed in. What happened to no new wars? Hogg asked.
Starting point is 01:04:33 Also, how are we playing for this? How are you paying for this? If we can't afford to spend trillions on health care, we sure as hell can't afford to spend trillions on another endless war. Stop making me agree with David Hogg. Please, I am begging the Republican Party. This makes me feel uncomfortable on every level. You have given David Hogg a free slam dunk. This do you... Again, do you know how far wrong you have to go for David Hogg to be able to just slam dunk this over top of your head? It is so incredibly wrong.
Starting point is 01:05:15 David Hogg has just this innate almost preternatural ability to be wrong on everything and yet somehow preternatural ability to be wrong on everything and yet somehow he's more correct on this than everyone but Thomas Massey in the Republican Party. We, former Florida Democrat Congresswoman Debbie McCarsall Powell, fumed the President of the United States just informed the world on a true social tweet the US has bombed Iran, she wrote. only Congress under the Constitution has the authority to declare war Congress must demand that the president inform and coordinate any military action and
Starting point is 01:05:52 explain to the American people why he's brought our country into war comment commentator and former congressional candidate Sankt Jüger added you know who's not anti-war someone who who starts a war. and then very elegantly ends the post by saying, F Trump. Sank has such a way with words. such a brilliant rhetorician. an orator for the ages is Sank Yuger. but in this case he's right. you know who's not anti-war? Someone who starts a war. It is brilliant in its simplicity. Sank, once again, given the ultra-rare, never-before-seen, double-sided, holographic W over Donald Trump. Representative Summer Lee, Democrat Pennsylvania,
Starting point is 01:06:41 declared, Trump is acting fully outside of his authority and is once again trampling the Constitution. It's an illegal and terrifying escalation. Dropping bombs in Iran brings us closer to war, not peace. And he's putting millions of lives at stake. Congress must immediately pass our war powers resolution to rein him in. Representative Maxwell Frost, Democrat, Florida commented, bombs three nuclear sites and then says,
Starting point is 01:07:03 now is the time for peace. This is an escalation that will lead to more death. Congress must reconvene immediately to stop the president from pushing us into war. And I wanna be clear, I don't believe the Democrats are actually anti-war. I don't believe that they care about Donald Trump dragging us into a war unilaterally
Starting point is 01:07:22 without the authorization of Congress. I think they care about it simply because it's Donald Trump dragging us into a war unilaterally without the authorization of Congress. I think they care about it simply because it's Donald Trump, but that doesn't mean they're wrong to oppose the war. Even if they're doing it from selfish reasons, because they want to toe party line and oppose Trump on everything, that doesn't mean they're wrong. They're right in this case. It is disgusting to see all the Republicans falling in line going, yes sir, whatever you say sir, you say bomb Iran, I say how high. Because they don't want to be primaried. Because they don't have the spine to stand up to them and say,
Starting point is 01:07:59 don't do it. You don't have that authority. You don't have that power And also probably because they're making they're gonna make a lot of money Lockheed Lindsay, I'm sure is salivating at the thought of another war Lindsay Graham has never seen a war that he hasn't loved He's always eager to get us embroiled in any conflict anywhere, and I'm sure he stands to make a lot of money in any conflict anywhere and I'm sure he stands to make a lot of money. Marky Mark NJ, thank you that is very generous we really do appreciate it. Thank you for the support Marky Mark. Iran has a hypersonic missiles. Anyone capable of developing those has the capability to develop nukes. Nukes are a mature technology now. Iran cannot have nukes or we'll see mushroom clouds here. I appreciate the support Marky Mark. I
Starting point is 01:08:50 Disagree with you. I do not think Iran would actually nuke the United States. I think That they are more sane than we are led to believe here in the west I think there has been a lot of propaganda over the years from our Media as well as the israeli media and apac when it comes to Muslim countries. I'm not saying that I think Islam is a peaceful, loving religion. I don't believe so. But I don't think the rulers of Iran have any wish to engage in a nuclear conflict, I think they realize. That simply leads to the destruction of Iran. But I do agree that it's unlikely that they have nukes. Like you say, they're more
Starting point is 01:09:23 reasonable, less suicidal than people think with all the propaganda and part of that is not pursuing the nuclear program that Israel has been claiming that they've been pursuing for years and using their alleged pursuing of the nuclear program as an excuse to attack them. Yes, it is. Again, I'll point out that it is Israel that has the Samson option, the one that says if we're losing, if we think that Israel is not going to win this war,
Starting point is 01:09:52 if we stand at the brink of potentially losing ground or losing our country, we're just gonna hit the nuclear annihilation button. We're going to destroy everyone in the area. We will turn the Middle East into an irradiated wasteland. That's our greatest ally. That's Israel. They're the ones with the maniacal, suicidal policy. Audi MRR? Well, the next terrorists won't have passports. They have Real ID now. That's right. However they distribute real ID, we'll find a perfectly intact version of that. It'll be sitting in the rubble, all nice and shiny, brand new, looking right into the camera
Starting point is 01:10:35 as the reporter points it out. Varkius, Travis, why should we care about the lives of those who chant death to America and want to kill us? Well. about the lives of those who chant Death to America and want to kill us. Well, we did kind of do a whole bunch of regime change there in the past. The Death to America thing didn't come out of nowhere. We've given them some reasons to dislike us, and now we're giving them a whole lot more reasons to dislike us. The cycle of escalation should end somewhere and there was no
Starting point is 01:11:06 reason for us to increase it again this time. Yes, back in 1953 with Operation Ajax, we got rid of their legitimately elected Prime Minister, Mosaddegh, I believe was his name, and put in the Shah of Iran, who was incredibly brutal and repressive. He was a totalitarian leader. He... I'd also like to point out that there is a difference between shouting, deaf to America, and actually bombing someone. It's uh, inflammatory rhetoric, sure, but it's a big step to actually act on that.
Starting point is 01:11:44 Yes. Rhetoric, sure, but it's a big step to actually act on that Yes, and in fact this just goes in my opinion to show that they are not any real threat They have been chanting this for years. They have been Very angry at America for years But have not really engaged in any sort of active campaign against us if anything that actually goes To show that they aren't a real threat to us. That while they may hate us, they either don't have the will or the capability to actually engage in a campaign against us. And so I understand where you're coming from, Varkeus. I don't want to pretend that I think Islam is a, as I said, peaceful, loving religion. I do think it is one of violence,
Starting point is 01:12:25 and I think that is borne out by what we see in the United Kingdom with the stabbings and the bombings, and I think that is the danger of importing them. But I don't think that these regimes want to engage in these sorts of long-range campaigns against the United States. As we can just see from the military strike, the bombing of their nuclear sites, there's not much they can really do to stop that. The United States is far more technologically advanced militarily, and if they engage with us on that level, it simply leads to mass destruction, the annihilation of their way of life. They can see what happened with Iraq and Afghanistan. They can see that it has been nearly 30 years of war in those countries and who knows
Starting point is 01:13:22 how long it'll take them to recover. But yes, the United States has been engaged in a campaign against Iran since at least 1953, when we deposed Mosaddegh in a revolution and instituted our puppet regime with the Shah of Iran, who brutalized his own people, was incredibly repressive. My dad has told this story before, but he was on a campus when he was in college and saw a protest of Iranian students. And they were all wearing masks. And he went up and asked them, he's like, well, what's going on? Why are you protesting? Why are you wearing masks? And they told him about what had happened. you know the Shah is an incredibly brutal leader and if you know we don't wear masks he has people who will take our pictures and they will find out who we are and they will
Starting point is 01:14:13 torture and kill our families back home and that's why even on American soil they had to wear masks when protesting the Shah of Iran. Someone that we put in power because Muzadik was going to nationalize if memory serves Iranian oil. He was going to make the Iranian oil be for Iran and we didn't like that. It was all lies. This is from Raw story. Massive backlash spreads as Trump tries to spin bombing. This is Stephen Prager, Common Dreams. We have a video here of Thomas Massey on the war powers which we're gonna play as a prelude to this article. Speaker of the House who is from your own party has really rejected this. He says the Article 1 power of Congress really allows for the president to do this. It was a limited necessary targeted strike, he says. Well
Starting point is 01:15:10 he's probably referring to the War Powers Act of 1973, but that's been misinterpreted. There were no imminent threat to the United States, which was what would authorize that. And I think that's peculiar to hear that from the Speaker of the House. Look, Congress was on vacation last week when all this was happening. You haven't been briefed on any of these things. We haven't been briefed. They should have called us all back. And frankly, we should have debated this War Powers Resolution that Ro Khanna
Starting point is 01:15:38 and I offered instead of staying on vacation and doing fundraisers and saying, oh, well, the president's got this under control. We're going to cede our constitutional authority. Again, Thomas Massey, the only Republican seemingly willing to stand up and say, it's unconstitutional. Simply pointing out it's unconstitutional is enough for Donald Trump to go to war with him. Honor seeker, that is what the alleged terrorist
Starting point is 01:16:05 should have said after 9-11. We're not at war with America, we are at war with their building, that's right. We simply hate that style of architecture. The Yale box has to go. I, as some of you may know, I am, I'm not a, I wouldn't call myself a scholar on architecture by any means. I simply have a passing interest and despise the standard
Starting point is 01:16:32 Yale box skyscraper that we see everywhere and have multiple times outlined how this came about because once again marxist infiltrated our country they came in after they were driven out when Hitler took power and because You know anyone that Hitler doesn't like is obviously a good person, right? Well, that's not necessarily true They came in and they spread this idea that
Starting point is 01:16:55 Building things out of marble or making buildings beautiful was bourgeois. That concrete, glass, and steel were the mediums of the proletariat, and you wanted simply to use those mediums because that showed that you were an ally. The Yale Box, so named because they embedded themselves in Yale, and that's where it originated. It is a hideous monument to Marxism that adorns every single one of our cities and will continue to adorn every single one of our cities because it is cheap and it is easy to make comparatively. During his run to retake the White House in 2024, US President Donald Trump promised to avoid endless war and serve as a peace president.
Starting point is 01:17:41 We will measure our success not only by the battles we win, Trump said during a second inaugural address in January, but also by the wars that we end, and perhaps most importantly, the wars that we never get into. Well, how fast things change, huh? How quickly. Benjamin Netanyahu says jump and we say yes, sir. But after he launched airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites and called for regime change this weekend, critics accused him of blatantly misleading the American public.
Starting point is 01:18:10 Would a politician really do that? Would they just go on the campaign trail and tell lies? I mean, he's not wrong. He can measure his success by the wars that he never started, which is no success because he is starting the war. Well, you just look at it, it's like, well, technically, technically, when you look at the number of countries that I'm not at war with, I'm still in the black, you know, I'm only at war with a small subset of the total countries that are on the planet and as such I am by definition a peace president. I majority it's a majority peaceful presidency. Trump who
Starting point is 01:18:52 proclaimed upon his inauguration he wanted to be remembered as a peacemaker couldn't even wait half a year into his term to do the one thing he had told everyone he wouldn't do in which he built his entire political brand on opposing wrote columnist Branko Marcetek in The Jacobin. On the campaign trail, Trump lambasted his predecessor, Joe Biden, as a warmonger, promising to end the conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza, however both conflicts not only continued to rage, but have grown bloodier.
Starting point is 01:19:20 And of course, a simple thing he could do is stop funding Ukraine. He could stop shipping them weapons. He could stop sending these blank checks to Vladimir Zelensky. It would be a simple thing to do that. That, you would think, would be the minimum. If he really wants to encourage Ukraine to engage in peace talks, he might stop giving them weapons with which to wage war. This is the read my lips no new wars turns to read my hips for Trump. No new wars? Well maybe just a few. No, gonna have a big, beautiful war. Massacres by Israel Defense Forces. Israel Defense Forces soldiers in US-administered aid sites have ramped up
Starting point is 01:20:12 in recent months as Israel advances with what Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described in February as US President Trump's plan for the creation of a different Gaza. Of course, my dad calls him the prime monster of Israel because he is a monster. He has no respect for human life. He is simply out to take that land, that territory by any means necessary, and he will cynically manipulate American Zionist Christians in any way he sees fit. He will use their bad theology, their misinterpretation of the
Starting point is 01:20:47 Bible as a way to do that. As Trump has abandoned talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Russian aerial attacks in Ukraine have likewise surged in recent weeks. Shortly after Trump's airstrikes on Iran, the Kremlin launched over 300 drones and dozens of missiles at Kiev, leaving 7 people dead and 31 injured, according to the Washington Post. That's the thing. We want to, in the United States, act as if Russia is completely unjustified when we were moving Ukraine closer and closer towards being in NATO, staging this country right on the doorstep of Russia as their opposition, as their enemy.
Starting point is 01:21:29 But this country, all the way across the planet, all the way across the world, that is so far behind us militarily and technology, is much smaller and weaker than us. They're a threat to us. Trump said he could end Russia's war against Ukraine before his inauguration. He said he would negotiate an end to the war in Gaza with a phone call. Wrote civil and labor rights leader, Reverend Dr. William J. Barber II on X. He said Biden was going to drag the US into World War III, but he would be a peace president. It was all lies.
Starting point is 01:22:03 Since he entered the political arena, Trump has railed against the wars launched by former President George W. Bush. On the Republican primary debate stage in 2015, he described the Iraq war as a big fat mistake, building his credibility with Americans seeking a break from the GOP's interventionist foreign policy consensus. After Trump's airstrikes on Saturday, his associates attempted to downplay the obvious comparisons with Bush's disastrous legacy. Vice President JD Vance, who on the campaign trail called out Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris's coziness with Bush's Vice President Dick Cheney and
Starting point is 01:22:41 his ex-Congresswoman daughter Liz Cheney went on NBC to do damage control and explain how Trump's actions were somehow different from those of the 43rd President. I empathize with Americans who exhausted after 25 years of foreign entanglements in the Middle East. I feel your pain. I understand the concern, he said, but the difference is that back then we had dumb presidents and now we have a president who actually knows how to
Starting point is 01:23:05 Accomplish America's national security objectives. You see the problem Isn't that we're at war that we didn't authorize it through Congress that it's an unjust war. It's simply That they weren't smart about it. That's the issue We have to be pragmatic about it. Machiavellian, don't you understand? Morality doesn't play into this at all. We just need a more intelligent person to do our evil killing. We just need to be smarter about it. What a cynical and despicable way of framing this. How utterly amoral and evil.
Starting point is 01:23:51 Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio both assured the public that this would not be another war of regime change like Bush waged in Iraq. But Trump thoroughly undermined their claims on Sunday night. Oh man. When he posted on True Social, it's not politically correct to use the term regime change. But if the current Iranian regime is unable to make Iran great again, why wouldn't there be regime change? MIGA.
Starting point is 01:24:21 M-I-G-A. Make Iran great again. Do so by bombing them. That's how we're gonna do it. We're gonna bomb them into greatness. In a Sunday column for The Guardian, Mohamed Bazzi, director of the Kivorkian Center for Near Eastern Studies, Kivorkian, an associate professor of journalism at New York University, argued that Trump is following Bush's model. Donald Trump has dragged the U.S. into another war based on exaggerations and manipulated intelligence, Bozzi wrote, people of the Middle East will pay the highest price for yet another reckless war built on a lie.
Starting point is 01:24:54 That's right. It's no wonder the people of the Middle East hate us. We have been involved in destroying their countries for my entire lifetime. For as long as I can remember basically, there has been some level of involvement by the United States in the Middle East. We have been bombing and engaged in regime change over and over again, destroying their infrastructure, destroying their countries, killing massive amounts of their people. The civilian casualties have been astronomical. It has been bloody and fruitless in every sense of the word. Even if you're looking at it from a purely pragmatic standpoint, even if you don't care about the loss of life, even if you're simply
Starting point is 01:25:40 looking at it as a way to maybe advance US foreign policy agenda. What have we gained? What has it gotten us? Nothing. It has been utterly fruitless and utterly worthless. Even from the amoral, pragmatic standpoint of we simply want resources. It has been a fruitless endeavor. Sam Canyon.
Starting point is 01:26:09 Whatever happens, I always remind myself that God is on his throne and everyone will be held accountable in the long run. That's the only way I sleep at night. I fear God only. That is true, Sam Canyon. That is a wonderful perspective that we should all attempt to make sure that we cultivate in ourselves. It doesn't matter if they don't see justice in this lifetime. They will see justice in the next. We should strive to have justice. We should strive to not let these things happen. We should oppose them with everything that we have, everything that we can, while we are here. But we should
Starting point is 01:26:45 always remember that God is on his throne, that Christ has already won the battle, and that these people will pay for their sins in the long run. Unless they repent, they will spend an eternity paying for them. Raddus Bro, you know what would be funny is if Thomas Massey did article of impeachment for violation of War Powers Act. That would be pretty funny. I however don't think anyone is going to try to impeach Donald Trump again. I think they've seen that uh that seems to be a fruitless endeavor and simply leads to him being perceived as a persecuted poor little fella that needs
Starting point is 01:27:28 our support. They effectively inoculated him against it with their constant false reasons to come after him. They've decredited the actual real reasons. They didn't try to impeach him for the lockdown. They create their own things to try and impeach him for. That's right, after the Democrats' nonsense with the whole Russian dossier or whatever else they tried to slap on there, Donald Trump is effectively safe
Starting point is 01:28:01 from all kinds of impeachment. And they'll simply say, oh, this is nothing more than another attempt to smear Donald Trump and the base will rally around him. He has been... the Democrats did a wonderful job ensuring that Donald Trump got his second term. Who is Thomas Massie? Trump seeks to oust Republican congressman. MAGA doesn't want him, doesn't know him, and doesn't respect him. President Donald Trump wrote in a lengthy tirade against Thomas Massey, Republican Congressman from Kentucky,
Starting point is 01:28:31 who's criticized the president over a number of issues, from war with Iran to the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill. That's right, and that's three to five trillion in new debt. And of course, war, when Donald Trump does it, is a good thing. Or it's not a war on Iran, it's a war on their nuclear program. It's all about how you frame things. He's a negative force who almost always votes no, no matter how good something may be. He's a simple-minded grandstander who thinks good politics for Iran to have highest level nuclear weapons, while at the same time yelling death to America at every chance they get Trump posted on Sunday he added
Starting point is 01:29:07 MAGA should drop this pathetic loser Thomas Massey like the plague what plague would that be Trump would that be the scam COVID-19 that didn't happen Massey responded with a tongue-in-cheek post on X that the president declared so much war on me today it should require an act of Congress he's got a good sense of humor about it I think he knows that the people of his state support him. That they realize he has their best interests at heart and is actually doing what they voted for him. Massey joined last week with a number of Democratic lawmakers to raise the alarm over potential U.S. military intervention in the Middle East without constitutionally
Starting point is 01:29:44 mandated congressional authorization. O'Malley won't face a re-election contest until 2026. Trump has already unveiled a plan to challenge him and further enforce loyalty within the GOP ranks. That's right, loyalty. You gotta have loyalty to Donald Trump. You gotta kiss the ring. You come to me on the day of my daughter's wedding and you ask.
Starting point is 01:30:06 He's the godfather. He's the dawn father. If you don't bend the knee, if you don't bow and scrape, if you don't co-sign everything he does, he's going to do everything in his power to get you out. The good news is that we will have a wonderful American patriot running against him in the Republican primary and I'll be out in Kentucky campaigning really hard. Trump added without naming a prospective primary opponent, MAGA is not about lazy grandstanding non-productive politicians of which Thomas Massey is definitely one. Massey, who is known for his outspoken
Starting point is 01:30:35 libertarian views, has survived primary challenges before and told Axios, which reported on the effort to oust him, that any serious person considering running should spend money on an independent poll before letting swampy consultants take them for an embarrassing ride. Massey, 54, was born in West Virginia and earned a bachelor's and master's degree in engineering from MIT in the 90s before turning to local politics in 2010 when he ran and won the race for judge-executive of Lewis County, Kentucky amid the Tea Party wave.
Starting point is 01:31:05 In 2012, after then rep Jeff Davison announced his retirement in Kentucky's deep red 4th congressional district, Massey, who described himself as a constitutional conservative, won the Republican primary and a landslide. When Davis resigned early, Massey won the same day special election and general election to succeed him, taking office two months earlier than his fellow freshman representatives elected in 2012. When Amassi's first moves was to vote in January 2013 against party leader John Boehner, her speaker opting instead to vote for fellow Libertarian Justin Amash, Boehner narrowly won the speakership, but would go on to resign in 2015. Amash would go on to not run for reelection in 2020 and
Starting point is 01:31:43 temporarily leave the Republican Party after earning Trump's wrath for consistent criticism of the president and supporting his impeachment. Since then, Massey has made a name for himself by regularly voting against bills, often breaking with his caucus, sometimes siding with Democrats. That's because he's willing to go against his own party if they don't align with his values. He's willing to stick to his values and not simply toe party line. Democrats in 2013, Politico dubbed him Mr. No.
Starting point is 01:32:11 A lot like Ron Paul. Not like Rand Paul. Rand Paul does not have the conviction that his father did. He does not have the stomach for it, it would appear appear he likes to play politics a bit too much Wally walrus, can we get some regime change around here? That's right. We need a little regime change over here. The regime is old It's tired. It needs some change and we're gonna do it whether they want it or not. It's not a Lord one three three seven When it let the Iranians fix their own country, it's their responsibility. Not ours. Yes. I agree with you I've said that multiple times that it is the residents of the country's responsibility to fix their own country. It is not the responsibility of America to come in and give them a democracy, quote unquote, or any other form of government. If they want a democracy, they should get
Starting point is 01:33:01 it for themselves. If they want a democratic republic, they should get it for themselves. We wouldn't like it if China or Russia or any other country on the planet decided, you know what? America's politics are screwed up. They're a threat to the rest of the world. They need regime change. So we're going to help them fix their country and landed boots on our soil. We would rightly interpret that as an act of war. We would rightly interpret that as them enforcing their will upon us
Starting point is 01:33:33 for their own agenda. And yet we go about swaggering and bullying these other countries and claiming that we're doing it for their own good. How kind of us. How wonderful that we're willing to do this for them, isn't it? Radish bro, we're gonna bomb them into greatness. That's right. They're getting bombs on them. Every bomb dropped is another movement towards greatness. In 2016, Massey said he would vote for Trump but do everything he could to rein him in.
Starting point is 01:34:05 If he acts unconstitutionally. In 2017, Massey tried to explain how the same movement that propelled him into office could also propel someone like Trump. Telling the Washington Examiner all this time I thought they were voting for Libertarian Republicans. But after some soul searching I realized they voted for Rand and Ron Paul. And me in these primaries. They weren't voting for libertarian ideas. They
Starting point is 01:34:25 were voting for the craziest sob in the race and Donald Trump won best in class. That's right. A lot of people are just so completely and utterly fed up with the standard status quo of American politics that anyone who brooks it, brooks it in any form. Anyone who does anything that is seen as going against the grain in any way, even if it's just making fun of the press, generates a lot of support. Because let's be frank, that is most of what Donald Trump has done. He goes on and he makes fun of these reporters to their face as they deserve. They should be made fun of. They are nothing but jokes. They're clowns without the makeup. But
Starting point is 01:35:09 that's all he does that is against the standard Republican line. He is as much of a warmonger as any of them ever were. He simply is more willing to point out the insanity of the press and bully them for it. KWD 68, Trump started his Massey derangement syndrome when Massey opposed COVID spending and tyranny. That's right, he has had it out for Thomas Massey for several years now. He's looking for any reason to get him out
Starting point is 01:35:37 because it's Thomas Massey dared opposed him. Raddusbro, maybe Trump's real problem with Massey is he hasn't taken the Israeli money. That's right, you're gonna take the... You need to take the Israeli money Massey. It's good money, it's good money, they pay a lot. We're gonna make Israel great again, it doesn't matter how many American lives, how much blood we have to spill.
Starting point is 01:35:56 It's kinda like in the cop movies where the corrupt cops all really hate the one that doesn't take the money. That's right, it's very much like Frank Sharpacall. In March 2020, Trump called Nassi a third-rate grandstander. So he's just opposed. Like, you need to be better at grandstanding. Look at me, I'm a first-rate grandstander, buddy. And I hate having you on my party ticket. It is a shame to grandstanders everywhere. If you're not going to up your grandstanding game, you need to get off the platform. Because I am here and I'm going to show you how it's done.
Starting point is 01:36:30 Nobody ever grandstanded, grandstood better than Donald Trump, I tell you what, and urged Republicans to throw him out of the party after the congressman tried to force a roll call vote on a $2 trillion pandemic relief package. A stunt earned rebuke from both sides of the aisle. And Massey was 100% correct. Let's uh, let's not forget that. With former Democratic presidential nominee and former Secretary of State John Kerry posting on social media, breaking news Congressman Massey has tested positive for being an a-hole. Must be quarantined to prevent the spread of his massive stupidity. Good old John Kerry. What a way with words he has. Like St. Uygur, a master of rhetorician. Someone we should all look to when we're trying to formulate
Starting point is 01:37:17 thoughts. This is the quality of people who are in American politics. People like John Kerry. people like Donald Trump. We are, we are ruled by fools. A cacistocracy is firmly in place. But in a U-turn, Trump endorsed Massey in 2022, calling him a first-rate defender of the Constitution. In 2022, Massey was the lone no vote on a symbolic measure condemning anti-Semitism,
Starting point is 01:37:47 a movie defended as a stance against censorship, but critics described as performative contrarianism. It's not performative, he is standing on his principles because he realizes that this is about censorship, that all these laws about anti-Semitism are simply about making sure that you can't criticize Israel, that you can't point out the fact that they're committing a genocide in Gaza, that you can't point out that Benjamin Netanyahu is the prime monster of Israel, that they are willing
Starting point is 01:38:19 to commit war crimes, that they are willing to do anything to get that land, that they don't care how many men, women, and children that they are willing to do anything to get that land, that they don't care how many men, women, and children that they have to kill to do it. That's what it's about. It's not about making sure that your local neo-nazi, if they exist still, doesn't write or draw swastikas on the walls. It's about making sure that you can't point out that Benjamin Netanyahu is a monster. That's what it's about. Why Trump wants Massey out. Massey was once again on Trump's bad side in 2023 when Trump shared posts on his true social platform that called the
Starting point is 01:39:02 congressman a wolf in sheep's clothing. So he helped destroy the Tea Party and now he's trying to destroy MAGA. We should be so lucky, shouldn't we? We should be so lucky. But again, I don't put my hopes in politicians. I don't put my hopes in any one of these people. I do not believe that Thomas Massey has that power. I don't believe he can destroy MAGA. The only way to destroy MAGA is to have a lot of very thoughtful, very long conversations with a lot of people who are very seriously deluded. It will never happen if we simply instate another cult of personality. They didn't stop Massey from endorsing Trump in the 2024 general election after previously backing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in the Republican primary. But Trump finally had enough
Starting point is 01:39:49 of Massey in March when Massey voted against a continuing resolution to fund the federal government until September as Republicans worked to pass Trump's massive tax and spending legislative package. The one big beautiful bill. The president took to true social to appeal for a primary candidate to challenge Massey in 2026. He should be primaried and I will lead the charge against him. He's just another grandstander who's too much trouble and not worth the fight. Reminds me of Liz Cheney and he misspells Cheney there. He spells it C-H-A-N-E-Y. It is C-H-E-N-E-Y. Before her historic record breaking fall, LAS! The people of Kentucky won't stand for it. Just watch. Do I have any takers?
Starting point is 01:40:32 That's right. Donald Trump is beating the war drums against Thomas Massey. If he could bomb Thomas Massey, he might just do that. If he could get away with it, we might be seeing him praising, might have JD Vance on Meet the Press, praising the surgical strike, how they hit a target no bigger than an average size congressman and completely obliterated it. And Thomas Massey would be wiped off the board. Massey brushed off the criticism, telling Politico, I had the Trump antibodies for a while.
Starting point is 01:41:04 I needed a booster. He said at the time that he had no intention to cave to Trump's pressure and believed the president's grudge would blow over. He understands Trump fairly well. He knows that he likes to bluster. He likes to talk a big game, that he likes to work himself up into a frenzy. But as a general rule, he loses focus and moves on to something else, fairly rapidly. He'll get mad about this.
Starting point is 01:41:28 He'll shout and rave and post on true social and Twitter. And then nothing will come of it. And he'll move on. Defy Tyrant 1776. I believe Massey is just another poser. He never came out and told the truth about the convid scam. That's my litmus test. Well, you may be right about that.
Starting point is 01:41:46 I can't say I know everything there is to know about Thomas Massey, and I'm very thankful for that personally. I appreciate what you're saying about him not coming out and stating, uh, and not telling the truth about COVID. But I do think it is important when he does the right thing to praise him for that. Nobody is perfect. As I said, I don't put my hope in politicians. I don't believe Thomas Massey will save us. I simply, as I say, think it is important to point out when he does the right thing. And if he does the wrong thing, as you said, he didn't come out against COVID, we should point that out as well. So I do appreciate you bringing that to our attention, Defy Tyrants. And as I say, I encourage all of you to not put your hope in politicians,
Starting point is 01:42:29 either. Do not blindly trust any of them. Thomas Massey is right on this, but he's not right on everything, I guarantee it, as we see here from Defy Tyrants pointing out. He didn't speak out against COVID, didn't do it, and as such, failed the litmus test. And I think that is absolutely something we need to be wary of. Something that means that he cannot be trusted implicitly. Not that you should ever trust anyone implicitly, but especially politicians. So thank you to Fyde Hirons. I appreciate that. AudiMRR, I need to get back on the gab platform. I don't know what the Magi cultists are saying about their peace president. Oh boy gab. I uh, when we do cuts from the full show, which I haven't been doing because I have been
Starting point is 01:43:18 very very tired, but I need to start doing more of it. Also feels somewhat narcissistic to go around and say, Oh, wow, what I said here was worth reposting, but I should probably do that. But I would be the one that would post the clips to gab and the comments on there, the sheer number of them that are just hateful and vitriolic towards my dad for simply pointing out the emperor has no clothes, that their wonderful peace president, that their champion of liberty locked them down for COVID were astounding. They hated my dad there. They absolutely despise anyone that dares to question Donald Trump on GAB. You would think it was simply an extension of his own personal platform.
Starting point is 01:44:05 I've never been on True Social. I've never had any interest. But I imagine that it couldn't be any more vehemently in the tank for Donald Trump than Gab is. The number of people on Gab that utterly refuse to hear any criticism of their strong, wonderful leader. Donald Trump is insane. They are an interesting group of people, are the Gabites. Trump's latest missive against Massey came as Massey has become a leading voice against military intervention in Iran. Days after Israel launched an attack on Iran, Massey co-sponsored a war powers resolution with Rep. Ro Khanna of California aimed at blocking the US government from engaging in unauthorized hostilities. After Trump revealed US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, Massey posted on an X, This is not constitutional.
Starting point is 01:44:54 Well, some have categorized Massey's wing of the MAGA base when it comes to the war as isolationists. Massey told CBS on Sunday that he rejects the label referring preferring non-interventionists. That's right He's an isolationist for not wanting to bomb countries for not wanting to destroy them That's like calling your neighbor an isolationist because he doesn't step over your property line and throw rocks through your window Doesn't assault you when you step out of your door. My neighbor is such an isolationist He's never once hit me over the head with a tire iron What a weirdo that guy is. We are exhausted. He said we are tired from all of these wars How is Trump planning to beat Massey?
Starting point is 01:45:39 Trump is dedicating campaign firepower to oust Massey Axios reported that Trump's senior political advisors Tony Fabrizio and Chris LaCivita will launch a political action committee devoted to defeating Massey in the May 2026 primary. LaCivita said the PAC will spend whatever it takes to defeat Massey, who according to the team's internal polling, was lagging behind the president in terms of support. As of now, only one candidate, Nikki Lee-Ethington, has announced that she will vie for Massey's congressional seat, other names being floated, Per Axios, or state senator Aaron Reed, and state representative
Starting point is 01:46:13 Kimberly Moser. Massey's longtime opposition to President Trump's working family tax cuts and really anything to do with President Trump is coming to an end, La Savita said in a statement. Thomas Little Boy Massey will be fired. Well... There's a joke in there about a little boy and a fat man, but I don't know exactly how to make it, so we'll just move on from there. In fact, I think we'll take a quick break because I need to get some water. But we'll continue. Give a little bit more coverage to Thomas Massey, but I want to make sure that we do cover
Starting point is 01:46:50 what is going on with the Grace Shara trial. What happened. We'll cover that when we get to it, but it's very disheartening to say the least. Before we go, again I just want to ask that you continue to pray for our father He is doing better, but his vocal cord sort of damaged and a nerve in his jaw was damaged So he's having trouble speaking properly. He sounds much better than he did. It's much clearer. I think I noticed a great improvement Being gone for a week and then being back I noticed a tremendous improvement and so we thank you for the prayers that you've been sending

We appreciate everything you did for the show and we appreciate you giving this comment. Again, I am not an expert on Thomas Massey. I like a lot of the things he says, and I appreciate when he does the right thing. But I don't put my hope in Thomas Massey. I don't put my hope in any politician.

The The Oh Making sense, come on again! to the David Night Show. I'm going to be a little bit of a little bit of a
Starting point is 01:54:05 little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a So So You're listening to the David Knight show
Starting point is 01:55:19 Using free speech to free minds It's the David Knight Show. Welcome back folks. As I said, we're probably going to continue for a little bit with Thomas Massey, but we are almost in the third hour of the show. My how time flies. I have been prattling on for nearly two hours now. It's hard to believe.
Starting point is 01:55:43 KWD 68 quick search says Massey and Rand Paul publicly refused to take jab and criticized it. Post spending protocols on lockdowns. That's not nothing. And I I agree with you and I appreciate you all doing this research and bringing it to our attention. I really do. Again, support Thomas Massey when he does the right thing, and if he does the wrong thing, oppose him and point it out. We are not about unilaterally supporting anyone here. I appreciate all the different perspectives. I don't expect anyone to just take my word as gospel or absorb my talking points or absorb my stances on things and simply parrot them back. I do
Starting point is 01:56:25 not want that. Cecilia 14. KWD. Of course the search is not going to say Rand is invested in Gilead and that's not nothing either. In fact it's pretty hypocritical. Yes that's right Rand Paul made a lot of money by investing in pharmaceutical companies. He was very hypocritical on that. Rand Paul is not as principled as his father is. He's not as principled as his dad, Ron. Rand Paul has largely been a disappointment when it comes to that sort of thing. I had some, you know, I want to say high hopes for Rand because again, I don't put my hopes in politicians, but it's very disappointing to see Rand Paul be much more of a sellout than his dad was. Trump plan to oust Massey mirrors that of Republican Jewish coalition huh
Starting point is 01:57:16 imagine that. President Donald Trump's plan to oust Rep Thomas Massey and his exact copy of the plan of the Republican Jewish coalition announced earlier year, complete with the same pledge to spend unlimited money on defeating America's most beloved, America vs. Congressman. Okay, that doesn't sound like a Jewish plan at all, I'll be honest. Trump on Sunday went on a tirade against Massie for opposing his Israel First war on Iran and announced plans to run a GOP establishment shill against him. Congressman Thomas Massie, and this is from Information Liberation by the way, Congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky is not MAGA even though he likes to say he is, Trump
Starting point is 01:57:53 said on Truth Social. That's right, and the worst thing you can be is not MAGA. That's the worst. Being not MAGA, not supporting Donald Trump and everything down to the bone, is the absolute worst thing you can be. Because if you don't support Donald Trump, you're a pathetic loser. That's how American politics is nowadays. And of course, it's not just nowadays, this has been the way of things for a long time now, but Donald Trump has taken it to an entirely new level.
Starting point is 01:58:25 The... The cult of personality surrounding Donald Trump is truly extraordinary. Congressman Thomas Massey of Kentucky is not MAGA. MAGA doesn't want him. MAGA should drop this pathetic loser Thomas Massey like the plague. That's our dear leader. I went on TV today to say we shouldn't get into another war. Trump Watchman posted, we will have a wonderful Israeli, I mean he said American, but really he means Israeli, patriot running against him in the Republican primary and I'll be out in Kentucky.
Starting point is 01:59:07 That's right. If you don't support Israel, you don't support their right to bomb anyone anywhere whenever they want, you're not MAGA. You're not really a supporter of the president because everyone knows that to be truly pro-American you have to sanction and co-sign everything Israel does. That's what it means to be an American. To be willing to spill out blood and treasure so that Israel can increase its borders. That's what it means to be a patriot, right? Trump for years now has supported most every GOP establishment shill against their MAGA challengers. But we did take the time to ruin Jeff Sessions' career as thanks for Sessions being the first senator to
Starting point is 01:59:47 endorse his campaign. Now after canceling his promised mass deportations and launching a new regime change war for Israel, Trump is working to oust the most America first congressman we've got with plans that exactly mirror those of the Republican Jewish coalition. Of course, Trump endorsed Dr. Oz. Wasn't he such a wonderful, America first politician wannabe? Dr. Oz, I'm sure he would have done great things for the American people.
Starting point is 02:00:18 If Tom Massey chooses to enter the race for U.S. Senate Kentucky, the RJC campaign budget to ensure he is defeated will be unlimited. That's right. You oppose Israel, we will pour out an unlimited amount of money to stop you. Good old Zion Don. He's gonna go back and kiss their wall again. Remember when Russia was accused of interfering with American elections and meanwhile Israel is openly saying unlimited money to get rid of this guy that doesn't want us starting wars
Starting point is 02:00:50 that's right Russia meddled with our elections but Israel is simply you know furthering American democracy or something along those lines right Randy Fine and Lindsey Graham are MAGA certified, but Massey needs to go for opposing Israel. MIGA. Make Israel great again. I've got to be very careful when I say that. I always feel slightly uncomfortable. Getting a little bit too close to another word I definitely am not going to say.
Starting point is 02:01:23 Trump pledges to travel to Kentucky to campaign against Rep Thomas Massey. That's right, this is by Bradley J. President Donald Trump blasted Rep Thomas Massey of Kentucky Sunday after libertarian-leaning congressmen partners Democrats to oppose Trump's strike on Saturday eliminating Iran's nuclear capabilities. Trump harshly criticized Massey and promised to personally campaign against him in the Republican primary. That's right, you have offended the Don. You have offended him deeply. And as such, he will make sure that personally you end up in a pair of cement shoes.
Starting point is 02:01:55 You can end up at the bottom of the river. Your political career is over, Massey. Didn't you know that? Didn't you know, Massey, you can't oppose the Don? You do. It's over. Ted Cruz reveals U.S. helping Israel carry out military strikes on Iran. Good old Teddy. Senator Ted Cruz appeared to slip up during an embarrassing new interview with Tucker Carlson by revealing the US is actively helping Israel carry out military strikes on Iran. I'll be honest, just about every interaction Ted Cruz has is kind of embarrassing. He's just that type of individual
Starting point is 02:02:26 He appears continually uncomfortable every time I see him. It makes me feel slightly slimy He's just unpleasant to look at not cuz he's not cuz he's Ugly or anything like that just the way he carries himself, the way he speaks. It's something about him. Feels not quite human.
Starting point is 02:02:50 As if at any moment you might see the puppet strings. As if at any moment a faceplate might fall down and circuits might be revealed. Go ahead and play that video, Lance. How many people live around by the way? I don't know the population. At all? No, I don't know the population. It's about 90 million by the way.
Starting point is 02:03:12 You know the population of the country you seek to topple? How many people live around? 92 million. Okay. Yeah, I- How could you not know that? I don't sit around memorizing population tables. Well, it's kind of relevant because you're calling for the overthrow of the government.
Starting point is 02:03:29 Why is it relevant whether it's 90 million or 80 million or 100 million? Why is that relevant? Well, because if you don't know anything about the country... I didn't say I don't know anything about the country. Okay, what's the ethnic mix of Iran? They are Persians and predominantly Shia. What percent? Okay, this is cute.
Starting point is 02:03:43 No, it's not. You don't know anything about Iran. So, okay. He knows he doesn't like him. The Tucker Carlson. He knows Israel doesn't like him. You're a sex murder man. And that's enough.
Starting point is 02:03:50 You're a senator who's calling you. Israel doesn't like him so they gotta go. You're the one who claims that you don't know anything about the country. No, you don't know anything about the country. You're the one who claims they're not trying to murder Donald Trump. No, I'm not saying that.
Starting point is 02:03:59 There it is. Setting the stage for the false flag. You can't figure out a thing. You don't get to kill Soleimani. You said it was bad. All right, I think that's enough. You're trying to murder Trump. Yes, I think that's enough. We can... We see here, the...
Starting point is 02:04:08 Back and forth gets heated because Tucker Carlson calls him out on the fact that he doesn't know anything about Iran. He doesn't know their population. He doesn't really know what the people are like. He simply knows that he wants them gone. And you saw Ted Cruz there setting the stage for a potential false flag when they'll claim that Iran staged an attempt on President Trump's life. They'll say this was directed at President Trump by an Iranian and as such we need to institute regime change. They're laying the groundwork now. We've seen that for a while. They've been floating this in the air. There's an
Starting point is 02:04:49 Iranian plot to take out the president. I forget exactly when that started but it's been out there for a while now. If any of you in chat happen to know exactly when that started, feel free to leave a comment so that we can get the exact date. But I remember, we all remember that. We're carrying out military strikes on Iran today, Cruz said. You said Israel was, Tucker countered. Right, with our help, Cruz responded.
Starting point is 02:05:14 I said we, Israel's leading them. We're supporting them. You're breaking news here because the US government last night denied it, Carlson said. The National Security Council spokesman, Alex Heifer, denied on behalf of Trump that we were acting on Israel's behalf in any offensive capacity at all. We're not bombing them. Israel's bombing them Cruz said. And I assume he started to sweat a
Starting point is 02:05:38 little bit as he said it. Perhaps started to look a little bit oily. The sheen on his forehead became more pronounced He just said we were Carlson replied We're supporting Israel Cruz responded. That's right We're supporting Israel. That's what a good American does We support Israel in everything because if we don't We're not good Americans. We don't truly believe the Bible if we don't unquestioningly support Israel and their right to murder women and children. What twisted theology so many Americans have? This holy evil Zionistic belief that Israel has the right, the God-given right, the mandate of heaven
Starting point is 02:06:30 to destroy anyone and anything that they see fit to, so they can get back their land. The promise was made to Abraham, by the way, not to the state of Israel, but to the specific individual, Abraham, that he would inherit that land. That promise was to the man, not the country, not the state, not the collective, to an individual. And he did. God fulfilled that promise. It has already come about. That time
Starting point is 02:07:14 has passed. They no longer have any divine claim to that land. All the prophecies were fulfilled when Jesus Christ was born and died on the cross. It was an obvious lie, but it was spread because acknowledging the US is involved in Israel's offensive war opens up US service members in the region to legitimate counterattacks under international law. Cruz further made a fool of himself. Cruz does that fairly frequently. This is nothing new. During the interview by revealing he has no idea how many people live in Iran and no idea of their ethnic makeup as I said it's about 90 million 92 ish million and if you want to compare that, Iraq in 2003 when we invaded
Starting point is 02:07:48 had a population of about 25 million. So, nearly four times the population of Iraq. A war that was a monumental disaster for the United States. A horrendous waste of money and a Just despicable The Civilian casualties in the Iraq war are staggering. We killed so many people For no reason at all overlies The. The weapons of mass destruction, don't you know? It was a lie.
Starting point is 02:08:33 Cruz also defended AIPAC and said he came into Congress 13 years ago with the stated intention of being the largest defender of Israel in the United States. That's right, Buster. Israel's with me. And if you've got a problem with Israel, you got a problem with me son, I suggest you keep on stepping. We don't tolerate, yes, we don't tolerate no slander against Israel around these parts. Of course he wouldn't say it with a southern Texan drawl. He's not really from Texas. He might have adopted one over the years, I wouldn't say it with a southern Texan drawl. He's not really from Texas. He might have adopted one over the years. I don't know. I try not to listen to Ted Cruz.
Starting point is 02:09:10 As I said, I find him disconcerting. Like at any moment, you'll see the puppet strings. We can actually play another video from that article, which we're going to do now. I've never taken money from the Israel lobby. Have you? Taken money from the Israel lobby, have you? Taken money from the Israel- From AIPAC. So AIPAC raises a lot of money for me, but it's actually a misnomer because the people
Starting point is 02:09:30 who raise money are individuals. So it's not the PAC itself, but they're individual members who believe in the American-Israeli friendship and relationship. What a weasel. Is AIPAC a foreign lobby? No, it's an American lobby. It's the AIPAC stands for the America Israeli political action. What is it lobby for?
Starting point is 02:09:46 So to be honest, not a whole lot effectively. Listen, I came into Congress. That's right. APAC doesn't have enough influence. Thirteen years ago. Yes. With the stated intention of being the leading defender of Israel in the United States Senate. Right. And I've worked every day to do that. APAC, a lot of times. A lot of times. APAC a lot of times. A lot of times.
Starting point is 02:10:05 APAC I wish were much more effective. Like there are folks online who are the super swamp of terrified of APAC and APAC. I'm not terrified of APAC at all. That's right. You're the one who seems a little uncomfortable. APAC and Israel. I'm not uncomfortable.
Starting point is 02:10:18 I'm just asking what APAC. APAC and Israel don't have enough influence. They need more influence over America and our politicians. They're not effective enough. We need more Israeli influence in our government. That's what they deserve. They deserve our unquestioning, undying support. Yes, what the APAC is for. It's, well, not a lot really, without answering the question. Oh, you know, this and that. It's a very George Costanza type of answer, isn't it?
Starting point is 02:10:52 Oh, well, you know, not a lot really, just a... Yeah, and then it's like, no, it's an American lobby. The A stands for America. So what does the I stand for? The A stands for America. The I stands stands for you know, not a lot really Good old Ted Cruz so such a weasel so oily so slimy The biggest defender of Israel that was his goal wasn't to champion American liberties. It wasn't To defend the Constitution. It wasn't to stand up to government overreach. It was to defend Israel. Isn't that wonderful? Isn't that
Starting point is 02:11:29 great? Israel is sure in need of our defense. He falsely claimed the pro-Israel lobbying group doesn't coordinate with Israel and therefore doesn't need to register under Farah Lee, Li Feng notes. Senator Ted Cruz insists AIPAC is not a foreign lobby. The A stands for America. It's not a foreign lobby. They're American. Ted Cruz told Tucker Carlson that AIPAC doesn't coordinate with the state of Israel, thus does not need to register under FARA. That's plainly not true. They discuss coordination openly. Here's an Israeli minister stating that he asked AIPAC to lobby Congress on the
Starting point is 02:12:08 ICC issue. This is by at Lee Fang or this is by Lee Fang on Twitter who is at LH Fang. He further suggested it's no big deal for Israel to spy on our president in the United States. Well, you know who cares really? Why is it so hard to say that it's not okay for foreign Israel to spy on our president in the United States. Well, you know, who cares really? Why is it so hard to say that it's not okay for foreign governments to spy on our president? Cruz also said he supports the modern-day state of Israel because he was taught the Bible says that those who bless Israel will be blessed Those who curse Israel will be cursed. Again, this is that awful mixed up theology What I was talking about. It was not about Israel. It was about specifically Abraham. It was about him inheriting that land at that time.
Starting point is 02:13:02 It is not about Israel's continued divine right to that tract of land and their... As for the whole I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you thing Uh, or you know those that bless you will be blessed, etc. Uh It later, you know when Jesus arrives on earth He tells people you are not children of Abraham He tells the Jews if you were children children of Abraham you would welcome me. You are children of Satan. It's... That's right. There's also the fact to these Christians who believe this, show me the blessings that we have received by continually supporting Israel. Point them out to me. Show them to me. Because we have been in Israel's corner. We have defended them. We have spilled blood
Starting point is 02:13:46 and treasure. We have poured them out like water for Israel's interests over the years. What blessings have we received? Show them to me. I want to know. I want to know what they are because if you truly believe this, if you really do, then you should be able to point to them, right?" Well, I haven't seen any. Asked where is that in the Bible, Cruz was stumped. I can find it for you, I don't have the scripture off the tip of my— You pull out the phone and use Google, Cruz said.
Starting point is 02:14:16 It's in Genesis, Carlson responded. Uh, Theodore, Teddy, you're killing me here, bud. You don't know anything. You didn't come prepared at all. You're not as good at bluffing your way through things as Donald Trump is. You don't have that, I don't know, that Diablerie, that Genesee-quah that seems to surround Trump at times
Starting point is 02:14:40 and give him this ability to bluff his way through, unquestioningly. You don't have the domineering, bullying personality that allows him to trample over these reporters. You don't have it. You have to have facts. Trump can get away with it. You simply can't, bud. I don't want to rain on your parade but you're too weasely you're too unpleasant in a
Starting point is 02:15:07 ethereal X-factor sort of way. DG8 thank you very much for the support DG8 I really appreciate it. Did you realize the two largest funders of APAC is a rabbit. I assume he means a rabbi who owns the largest porn platform in the world. The second largest is the rabbi who owns OnlyFans which has destroyed thousands of marriages. I did not know that but I'm not surprised to learn it when you look into who owns many of the different pornography studios. For some reason a lot of them come back being Jewish. Interesting about that isn't it? Thank you. DG8 appreciate that Cruz supports Israel because pro Israel's scientists Zionists in America like the late Sheldon Adelson and his wife Mary Madeleine who inherited his fortune fund his campaigns
Starting point is 02:16:01 You know sporting Israel will get a money and good media coverage. There's nothing more to it You actually have a clip of Charlie Kirk talking about Zionism in Israel. I'm so excited to show you what Charlie Kirk has to say. He's such a bastion of wisdom, his good old Charlie. Watch this, let me know what you think. What religion was Jesus? What did he believe? Uh, well, obviously he's Jewish. Where was Jesus born? Why does that matter? He was born in Bethlehem, okay. And he was raised in Nazareth and he walked on the water in Capernaum. What country are those places in right now? What does it matter?
Starting point is 02:16:35 It does matter. You know why? It does matter. When I went to Israel, I came in contact with the living God that walked on water and rose Lazarus from the dead. When I went to Israel, I saw the Bible come to life. When I went to Israel, I saw Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and Sarah, and Becca, and Leah. When I went to Israel, what I read is Bible stories popped open and I said, this is the Word of God. This is real.
Starting point is 02:16:57 These are not fairy tales or fables or things that we tell our kids. When I went to Israel, I was able to cry where Jesus cried, where he was betrayed by Judas and arrested, where he rose from the dead and gives us eternal life. I am not an apologist for Israel, but I reject wholeheartedly this narrative. Christians who turn their back on Israel, it says in Genesis, and Romans, and 1st Thessalonians,ians Paul said you will bless the Jews If you bless Israel, you will be blessed if you scorn Israel, you will be scorned There is a diabolical satanic agenda every single day to try and delegitimize the scriptures I will defend the Holy Land the place that let me see where my Lord and Savior lived and I will not apologize for that What a cynical
Starting point is 02:17:42 I will not apologize for that. What a cynical twisting of the scripture Charlie Kirk engaged in there. What a despicable way of framing it. You have to support Israel because when you go there, the Bible comes alive. That's so wrong. They take every promise about the church and make it about Israel. The whole thing of that I was trying to say before of bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you is clearly about the church.
Starting point is 02:18:14 And the whole thing of, you know, Abraham, I can make these stones children of Abraham. You think you're special because you're children of Abraham? I could turn these stones into children of Abraham, Christ said. And this just, oh, you have to support Israel because when you go there it just, you can see where these things happened. How despicable. Well, I mean, you can't believe the Bible unless you let Israel murder women and children. How could you believe the Bible if I can't go there and be in the same place that, you know, Jesus occupied at one point? I have to be near the physical location. He may have walked or cried.
Starting point is 02:19:00 Very much the same arguments made for the Crusades, which of course also had political purposes. Especially the first crusade was justified, but it was justified with these kinds of arguments of, oh, this is holy ground here, so we can't let the Muslims stand on it. We've got to kill everyone there. Yeah. There's also the fact, if you really did think there was something especially intrinsically holy about that land, wouldn't you want to have it under Christian rule, under the Christian faith? Because the Jews rejected Jesus. It doesn't even make sense from a pragmatic, rationalistic standpoint. If you truly believed that this land was especially and intrinsically special to Christianity, wouldn't you want to tell Israel, well, I'm sorry,
Starting point is 02:19:57 but you have to go somewhere else. You're not Christian. You are the people that killed Jesus. You are the people that killed Jesus and as such I think it needs to be under new management But Charlie Kirk is simply cynically trying to get more funding Wait until Charlie Kirk hears about the guy that said he would tear down the temple and rebuild in three days Oh, man, he's gonna lose his mind The temple that's in the Holy Land Oh Dear. Charlie, Charlie, Charlie. Well, that's enough from Mr. Kirk, I think. I do everything in my power to not learn anything about Charlie Kirk.
Starting point is 02:20:38 I try to avoid him whenever possible. I find him to be a useless fool that brings nothing to the table and simply spouts platitudes and nonsense. But there are some times where the things he says are so patently and obviously false that they need to be covered, they need to be refuted and rejected. He is cynically manipulating a Christian base that have been fed a diet of bad theology for decades upon decades. He is using it to gin up support for a genocide in a larger war in the Middle East so that Israel can expand its borders so they can get more land so they can accrue more territory.
Starting point is 02:21:27 It is despicable. It is evil. I have no respect for Charlie Kirk. Nibiru 2029. For multiple decades, Marks America has been sending billions to Israel so it can spend those funds to buy politicians in the U.S. It's a big old money laundering scheme. Back and forth it goes. Isn't it wonderful that we're all caught in the middle? And again, I want to make this clear. I'm not against the Israeli people. Their government is evil, but there are a lot of good people there. I don't agree with them theologically. I think they are wrong, and that their religion will not lead them to heaven. That the time of the
Starting point is 02:22:09 Jewish religion is over. That time is past. They need to become Christians. They will not be saved otherwise. But that doesn't mean that there aren't people who object to the war that don't want to see the senseless slaughter and bloodshed that their government engages in. We need to not engage in this continual all of them are evil nonsense. There are decent people there who are simply caught in the middle as we are caught in the middle between our governments. as we are caught in the middle between our governments. Netanyahu must be stopped before he gets us all killed. This is from the Free Thought Project.
Starting point is 02:22:50 You could soon see several nuclear powers pitted against each other and dragging the world closer to nuclear annihilation. For nearly 30 years, Israel's prime minister, prime monster, Benjamin Netanyahu has driven the Middle East into war and destruction. The man is a powder keg of violence. Throughout all the wars that he has championed, Netanyahu has always the Middle East into war and destruction. The man is a powder keg of violence. Throughout the wars that he has championed, Netanyahu has always dreamed of the big one to defeat and overthrow the Iranian government. His long sought war, just launched, might just get us all killed in a nuclear Armageddon
Starting point is 02:23:18 unless not Netanyahu is stopped. Netanyahu's fixation on war goes back to his extremist mentors, Zyev Jabotinsky, Yitzhak Shamir, and Menachem Begin. The older generation believed that Zionists should use whatever violence, wars, assassinations, terror is needed to achieve their aims of eliminating any Palestinian claim to a homeland. This is reminding me of a clip from a show where one character goes on this minutes-long spiel about how he loves every kind of war. No matter what happens, whether he's winning or losing, he simply loves the thrill and the terror of it.
Starting point is 02:23:58 He loves every kind of war that can happen upon this earth. The founders of Netanyahu's political movement, the Likud, called for exclusive Zionist control over all of what had been British mandatory Palestine. At the start of the British Mandate in the early 1920s, the Muslim and Christian Arabs constituted roughly 87% of the population and owned 10 times more land than the Jewish population. As of 1948, the Arabs still outnumbered the Jews, roughly 2 to 1. Nonetheless, the founding charter of Likud, 1977, declared that between the sea and the Jordan, there will only be Israeli sovereignty.
Starting point is 02:24:32 The now infamous chant from the river to the sea, which is characterized as anti-Semitic, turns out to be the anti-Palestinian rallying call of the Likud. Israel's war on Iran is the final move in a decades old strategy. We are witnessing the culmination of decades of extremist Zionist manipulation of US foreign policy. The challenge for Likud was how to pursue its maximalist aims despite their blatant illegality under international law and morality, both of which call for a two-state solution. In 1996 Netanyahu and his American advisors devised a clean break strategy.
Starting point is 02:25:05 They advocated that Israel would not withdraw from the Palestinian lands captured in the 1967 war in exchange for regional peace. Instead, Israel would reshape the Middle East to its liking. Crucially, the strategy envisioned the U.S. as the main force to achieve these aims, waging wars in the region to dismantle governments opposed to Israel's dominance over Palestine. The US was called upon to fight wars on Israel's behalf. The clean break strategy was effectively carried out by the US and Israel after 9-11. As NATO's Supreme Commander General Wesley Clark revealed, soon after 9-11 the US planned
Starting point is 02:25:37 to attack and destroy the governments in seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran. The first of the wars in early 2003 was to topple the Iraqi government. Plans for further wars were delayed as the US became mired in Iraq. Still, the US supported Sudan's split in 2005, Israel's invasion of Lebanon in 2006, and Ethiopia's incursion into Somalia that same year. In 2011, the Obama administration launched CIA Operation Timber Sycamore against Syria, with the UK and France overthrew Libya's government through a 2011 bombing campaign.
Starting point is 02:26:12 Today, these countries lie in ruins, and so many are now embroiled in civil wars. Netanyahu was the cheerleader of these wars of choice, either in public or behind the scenes together with his neocon allies in the US government, including Paul Wolfowitz, Douglas Feath, Victoria Newyland, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Richard Perle, Elliott Abrams, and others. Testifying in the US Congress in 2002, Netanyahu pitched for the disastrous war in Iraq, declaring, if you take out Saddam, Saddam's regime, I guarantee you that it will have enormous positive reverberations on the region. He continued,
Starting point is 02:26:45 I think that people sitting right next door in Iran, young people, and many others will say the time of such regimes, of such despots is gone. Also falsely told Congress, there is no question whatsoever that Saddam is seeking, is working, is advancing towards the development of nuclear weapons. That's right. Remember, weapons of mass destruction. Another lie. He's been hawking this lie about the Middle East for years now. Any
Starting point is 02:27:12 country that we need to invade, they're working on weapons of mass destruction. Nuclear weapons. They're going to bomb you, America. You need to come over here and kick some dirt in their eye. Make sure that they don't develop the bomb that they're gonna use against you. Pay no attention to the fact that this will help me further my goals. That this will make it easier for me to implement my plans. Just come over here and do who knows what. Just kill your young men in a pointless fruitless war for our benefit. The slogan to remake a new Middle East provides a slogan for
Starting point is 02:27:55 these wars, initially stated in 1996 through Clean Break. It was popularized by Secretary Condoleezza Rice in 2006, as Israel was brutally bombarding Lebanon, Rice stated. What we're seeing here in a sense is the growing, the birth pangs of a new Middle East. Whatever we do, we have to be certain that we're pushing forward to the new Middle East, not going back to the old A New World Order. Rings of George Bush Sr., doesn't it? In September 2023, Netanyahu presented at UN General Assembly a map of the new Middle East,
Starting point is 02:28:28 completely erasing a Palestinian state. In September 2024, he elaborated on his plan by showing two maps, one part of the Middle East, a blessing, and the other including Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Iran, a curse, as he advocated regime change in the latter. Well, I'll be honest, Israel has been far more of a curse on the American people than any of those other countries have. As far as I
Starting point is 02:28:52 can tell, they've done nothing but drain us monetarily and cause many of our young men to be killed in the Middle East or come back home crippled and broken. It has been a curse upon the United States. That's what Israel has been. Pi funter, or funter, Jesus said to her, Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. The true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth. That's right, location does not matter. You don't need to be in some prescribed holy site. You don't need to sit somewhere that Jesus may have sat at some point in his life.
Starting point is 02:29:33 You are as close to him wherever you are as if you were in Israel. When he says, draw near to me and I will draw near to you, he doesn't mean go to the physical land of Israel and commit genocide That's right Jesus was not known for his support of genocide. He was not known for his support of that You do not need to go to Israel you do not need to find a specific holy site and gin up some kind of feeling. Wherever you are, he is there with you. God is omnipresent. He is everywhere, all at once. You do not need to be in any specific location. He is simply there.
Starting point is 02:30:28 Israel's war on Iran is the final move in a decades-old strategy. We are witnessing the culmination of decades of extremist Zionist manipulation of US foreign policy. Since 1992 Netanyahu and his supporters have claimed that Iran will become a nuclear power in a few years. In 1995 Israeli officials and their US backers declared a five-year timeline. 2003 Israel's director of military intelligence said that Iran will be a nuclear power by the summer of 2004. In 2005 the head of Mossad said that Iran could build the bomb in less than three years. In 2012 Netanyahu claimed the United Nations that it's only a few months, possibly a few weeks where they get enough enriched uranium for the first bomb and on and on.
Starting point is 02:31:07 That's what we're seeing here folks. It is simply a continuation of this insanity of trying to goad the United States into war by saying, oh no they're going to get the bomb. They're gonna do it. They're really gonna do it this time I know I've been saying it for 30 years But this time it just might be true. You can trust me. I would never lie to you. I'm your greatest ally But they're not are they they have been a curse upon us We have spilled blood and treasure Across the Middle East we have lost so many young men for nothing.
Starting point is 02:31:48 And it's truly a tragedy. We are... Well, I'm sure that I'm going to be accused of anti-Semitism because I refuse to support Israel's genocidal war and Netanyahu's pursuit of control of Palestine through any means necessary. We're gonna take a quick break and we've only got about 28 minutes left here. I want to make sure that I cover what's going on with Grace Shara, so we'll leave the Middle East for now. I'm sure we'll be back to it tomorrow. We'll take a quick break and we'll be right back. Stay with us. So So I'm going to be there You're listening to the David Knight Show.
Starting point is 02:34:05 Welcome back folks. As I said, I want to make sure that we cover what's happened with the Grace Shara trial. This is on the New American. Shara family speaks out after jury sides with hospital and wrongful death. So we've got two separate videos that I'm going to play in their entirety. One is from Scott and one is from Cindy. That is the parents of Grace and I think that they need to be seen. For those with ears to hear, they saw for the first time what's behind the
Starting point is 02:34:34 Curtin Shar family speaks out after jury sides with hospital and wrongful death suit. This is by Rebecca Turrell. These words got Shar open today's press conference following his lawsuit against Ascension Health and St. Elizabeth Hospital where his daughter Grace died in 2021. I'll play the clip of Scott now, but I have to say it is incredibly disheartening to see the level of Just lack of care That the jury was able to display How were they able to look at what happened and return this first? I don't know I really don't know I Find it baffling
Starting point is 02:35:19 But what's your what's a Let me play what Scott had to say for you Okay, it's little after nine o'clock. So what we're going to do today is I'm going to start with some opening comments. Then we'll go to Cindy, Jess, Attorney Joe Voiland, and then Attorney Warner Mendenhall, and then we'll take questions. All right? So first, in honor of Grace, what would she say if she was here right now? She would say, God did it, Dad dad and boy did he ever. And in that light I want to thank Kyle from the New American and CHDTV for live streaming the entire
Starting point is 02:36:14 trial. For those with ears to hear, they saw for the first time what's behind the curtain and it was fantastic to be part of it. I can't such a good attitude about this. To use our family to expose the system. Even though the verdict was returned against them he's still thankful that he was able to peel back the curtain a little bit. The two attorneys who are not here, attorney John Fleider, we would not be here without John. John and I work side by side for literally over a thousand hours putting this together for trial. I know John's watching this right now over live stream and he's sitting with his wife Erin who he hasn't seen for three weeks and his little best buddy Jack is probably on his lap right now so I wanted to thank John he has his own own firm, the Flight River Firm, just did a fantastic job.
Starting point is 02:37:09 Then Mike Administer, he's our lead counsel. He's the one who you heard during closing arguments yesterday. We utilized his leadership in order to see the vision that we needed to do to be able to get this in front of a jury. All right now a few things that I want to say publicly before questions. First of all people wonder are you disappointed? Well I'm human so of course I'm disappointed but I also know that God's ways are not our ways. And so there's no reason to be disappointed once you see He has a bigger purpose.
Starting point is 02:37:52 We turn this over to Him at the beginning, and He opened this door. Our responsibility was to walk through the door and leave it all on the battlefield, which we did. And so then after the fact, after the verdict is in, we know that was God's will. How do we know? Because God is sovereign. So after the event, if you've left it all on the battlefield, you know it was His will. And so we submit to that, we know He has a bigger purpose in mind with Grace's story and Grace's case, and I don't know what that looks like yet but we're gonna find out we're all gonna find out together which will be it's exciting. I've said many times that our family's been called under Genesis 50 20 which is which says what
Starting point is 02:38:42 you meant for evil God meant for good the saving of many lives which is happening today and Grace's death Has saved countless lives and it's going to keep saving lives both physically and spiritually and then last regarding God's plan When Jesus was on the cross he said forgive them father for they do not know what they're doing and these people in the courtroom When Jesus was on the cross, he said, forgive them, Father, for they do not know what they're doing. And these people in the courtroom, the defense attorneys, Holly McGinnis, Gavin Chokhar,
Starting point is 02:39:16 they are not our enemy. Satan is our enemy. And so we do forgive them for what they did. Our hope is that they repent, because then we truly won. Then I wanted to just give a couple of comments about the system. So we were up against the system, right? Not just the medical industrial complex, but the legal industrial complex.
Starting point is 02:39:39 So why do I say that? I'm just going to take you into the minutiae for a bit, because people say, well, how did you even get involved? Well I knew what we were getting into before we got into it so it sounds stupid I know when I tell you what I'm gonna tell you now you're gonna think oh you got you must be the dumbest guy on the face of the earth. Well here it is. So here's what's going on in the state legislatures and I'm gonna tell you specifically about Wisconsin. So in Wisconsin, there's a $750,000 cap
Starting point is 02:40:09 on medical malpractice claims. So what our hope for in this trial was that we would get what's called an excessive verdict. So for example, if the jury awarded us $5 million for argument's sake, the judge would have had to tell the jury Not ahead of time because that's by agreement. They could not know of this statutory cap He would have to tell the jury we can only award the family
Starting point is 02:40:35 750,000 and then our hope was to take this case to the state Supreme Court to remove the caps So that would have been an opportunity. It's foregone now, but that was the opportunity that we were hopeful for. So the $750,000 cap makes it virtually impossible to file a lawsuit in Wisconsin. Why? Because a case like this takes just over a million dollars to bring to trial. So wrap your head around that.
Starting point is 02:41:04 And if you can find an attorney that would take the case on without you paying for it, the state statute says the maximum they can get is 250,000. That's the maximum. If you win, the max they can be paid is 250,000. Then to add fuel to that foolishness, the state statute requires the medical industrial establishment to have insurance. So how did they pay for their case? Insurance. We had to pay for our case, the insurance companies paid for their case. Then one more knife that they have in the state statute specifically applying to grace.
Starting point is 02:41:45 Grace was a legal adult. Grace was 19 years old. If you are a legal adult in Wisconsin without a husband and without children there's no claim for loss of companionship. So Grace as you know was my best buddy. Anybody that met her, she was their best buddy. But by statute, there's no loss of companionship for somebody like Grace. You can't make this stuff up. So anyway, we knew we were up against this Antichrist legal system. We did it because of God's calling. And I'm gonna turn this now over to Cindy and then Jess. I do wanna just tell you one thing regarding Grace
Starting point is 02:42:28 before I close though. You know, we heard a lot of testimony in the trial about visitation policies, right? So I'm just picturing Grace in the courtroom because she had such the sense of humor, right? So, you know, I picture her in the courtroom saying, dad, I don't get it. Why are they making such a big deal about visitation policies when they don't allow visitors? You know, so that was that was grace. All right, Cindy, you're up.
Starting point is 02:42:55 To still be able to show such grace to the opposing council, to echo the words of Christ forgive them they know not what they do That family has suffered so greatly it is It is truly amazing to see him able to remain that composed and that willing To forgive them despite the fact That they are defending these people who took their daughter from them. Got some comments here out of MRR. Is this a story about the girl who was put on a do not resuscitate order in a hospital without the family's consent or knowledge?
Starting point is 02:43:33 Yes, that is this story. It is about Grace Shara. That was her father, Scott Shara. I'm gonna play the next clip of her mom, Cindy, in a moment, but got some other comments. And Max, can't they appeal this? I, I don't know. I don't know enough about legal proceedings to understand if they can or can't. I don't know what type of verdict this is. I would think they should be able to, but also who knows the legal system is so convoluted and obscure and arcane that it's hard to say. I have no idea if
Starting point is 02:44:07 they can. John Bazelone, in Idaho the jury ruled in favor of the hospital and financially ruined Ammon Bundy and it's no surprise the jury ruled against Scott Shara. People in general are now lost and without wisdom. That is very true. They are indeed lost and lack wisdom. My dad wrote a note for me about this, so he wants me to read it out on air. This is from my dad. Not only does my heart go out to them for their loss, but they worked so hard to make sure this doesn't happen again to others. It is a loss for all of us. When Scott heard I was going to have the operation, he took the time with all that was happening in the final days of years of preparation to contact Karen about how to get
Starting point is 02:44:49 clean, to get a clean blood transfusion. Fortunately, there's a long lead time to do that. Fortunately, this operation did not require a transfusion, and several people offered to travel great distance and donate blood, like Marty and Eric Peters. Scott and Cindy were not doing this for the money. Nothing could compensate for their loss of companionship. However, they have a confident expectation that they will be united with grace. As David said of his stillborn son, I will go to him one day, but he cannot return to me. No, the lawsuit was not about the money, but about reforming a system that protects bad
Starting point is 02:45:24 actors who harm people. The jury didn't have ears to hear, but millions of others did. It was live streamed by Children's Health Defense, by New American, who both also wrote daily articles summarizing what happened each day of the trial. The videos are still available. Scott began a podcast. I've had him on several times. We'll continue to have him on to warn people about the medical system.
Starting point is 02:45:45 The message has and will go far and wide. As Christians, our job is to warn people and point them to the truth. To evangelize is to proclaim a good message to people, as well as to warn them of danger. Some will listen, others will not. If they reject truth, it is still true. If they ban truth, it is still true. If they punish us for telling the truth, it is still true. If they ban truth, it is still true.
Starting point is 02:46:08 If they punish us for telling the truth, it is still true. Well done, Scott and Cindy. That is from my dad. I wanted to make sure that I read that for you. Scott and Cindy are both incredibly kind people. As you said, Scott took the time out of everything that was going on, all the preparations that was leading up to this lawsuit To contact my dad and give him some advice and information about how to get a clean blood transfusion It is truly heartbreaking I can't imagine
Starting point is 02:46:39 How difficult it must have been to hear that verdict come back but do still be able to look at it and say this was still a good thing. The trial itself was a good thing because it shows people that they are simply out to protect their own, to protect the medical industrial complex. Please keep this family, the Sharahs, in your prayers. Pray for Scott and Cindy. And I don't know if they can appeal this. I hope they can. I hope that they see a form of justice here. It would be... It's hard for me to believe that the jury could look at this, that something that is so blatantly, obviously evil, and return this verdict. I'm going to play the clip of Cindy, Grace's mother, now.
Starting point is 02:47:39 I think what they say is far more important than anything I could say. Good morning, everybody. Thank you for being here. Again, I'm so grateful. We are all so grateful that you are standing with us and fighting the huge David and Goliath fight that we've been in. This morning, having one day to process what took place yesterday in the courtroom, it's heartbreaking for one, we're going to be honest because we really did expect the jury to see what they did to Grace.
Starting point is 02:48:20 She was a valuable person in this world just like we all are but special needs people have a extra loving caring heart for this world and this jury deliberating as quickly as they did in coming up with their verdict did not give grace the respect that she deserved, and I heard that from another person that's in the audience today, and I was so grateful that she shared that because it did just touch my heart thinking that is very true.
Starting point is 02:48:52 They did not give her the respect that she deserved to sit down and think through those questions and process what that nurse and that doctor and the rest of those nurses and doctors did to her in that hospital. Grace died as a result of end-of-life meds. Prior to that, there was a lot of horrific stuff that happened, the two events that she had
Starting point is 02:49:13 where the prosthetics ended up having a terrible effect on her body. And yet, they did not tell us the family. And yet, Grace is the one that suffered that. And as that jury took those papers in the back to process what it was that they needed to decide on, they didn't even take the time to process as we think of. I think the judge took longer
Starting point is 02:49:41 to go through the instructions than they did to actually deliberate in the back and that was heartbreaking and I kept thinking about grace last night because of the fact that they missed out on one special girl and they missed out seeing what they did to that special girl. None of us would have survived that concoction that they that cocktail that concoction that they gave her at the end because it is those are end-of-life meds. Morphine is given to people in hospice. It's a as I looked and researched it is a medication that softens death and that's exactly what they intended to do. They were not helping Grace. Dr. Shokar was not doing that. Holly McGinnis was not doing that and
Starting point is 02:50:28 they knew that as a 20-year ICU nurse and a doctor that already had six years plus he studied his medical or had his medical experience in Canada which is a very strong euthanization area. I know for sure that they knew what they were doing. And I feel that deep in my heart. And God knows, God has seen it. And as Scott said, we are trusting that God has this play out the way that He had known it was going to play out. But I'm sure that as we sit here today, we question, and I'm human, and I'm questioning to God why did it have to play out like this. But He's got a bigger plan, and that is very true, and we have to hold onto that.
Starting point is 02:51:19 We are minority, and God says that the path is narrow and few will find it but we are hoping that more will find it and through grace is death that is really a true wish that we do hope for she has given her life to save others and as Scott pointed out she has done that and so we're just going to keep walking with him and holding on to the memories that we have of Grace and our son Travis. And he, too, we believe, lost his life due to medications because of a medication that he got put on just 30 days prior
Starting point is 02:51:56 to his death that interacted with another medication. So we see this so deeply now. And as the defense tried to play out yesterday that we knew all this stuff about ventilators and different things with Grace we did not know what we know now today I mean once we lost Grace you know Scott went on a huge search once that one nurse told me when we walked out you know that she and other nurses didn't believe Grace should have died tonight. I mean, those were things that were, I believe, seeds from the Lord to help us look further, and that's exactly what
Starting point is 02:52:31 we did. We started to look further, and we found such numerous things, and it's still going on, everybody. I'm actually helping in an area up in Chippewa Falls. It's a vent clinic where people have been vented and put a tracheostomies in. They are still testing for COVID. They are still masking. They are, they're a Medicare Medicaid facility, so I believe that's part of what they have to do
Starting point is 02:53:00 so they get their funding. But yet, I don't believe there's a lot of people that are awake to it and they're claiming there's another wave of COVID coming. And we just need to be strong and not be pulled into the traps. We know that Satan is laying those traps but we have to be the voices, the voices for the Lord and for everybody else and help them see that this is truly part of Satan's plan was is to just keep holiness in the wrong direction but what God has the right direction and we just need to hold on to that. So in that I just want to say our daughter Grace, the biggest gift that she
Starting point is 02:53:38 was to all of us, we are so grateful to know that we will see her again. This is just a temporary separation and Until he comes or calls us home We're gonna do what we can on this earth as tough as it is without him. We are gonna just press on So thank you guys all again just for being there for praying for knowing that and Believing us knowing that we were not lying that we were telling the truth because what happened to grace happened to a over a million people they were injected with end-of-life meds they were put on medications that were causing their breathing to be
Starting point is 02:54:22 suppressed there were meds given to people that were shutting kidneys down, and they were claiming that those were good things that they were doing for them, and ventilators. People were being put on ventilators. And the monies that were being given to these hospitals during that time, and it's going to happen again. I mean, they're prepping. There's some hints around that they're
Starting point is 02:54:42 prepping for another big wave But just all of that we just need to just know you know that we have to be strong and stand firm Well, thank you guys That was Cindy Shara grace's mother in case you didn't catch that when I introduced it. They're still doing this, as she points out. This is how the system works. They are doing this to people over and over again. This is not simply something that happened to Grace. This is something they are doing to many, many people, because it gets them a large payout. The level of grace that that family is showing to these people, both on the defense team for the hospital
Starting point is 02:55:36 and the hospital staff is... it's a beautiful thing to see. I don't think I would be able to... thing to see. I don't think I would be able to. I don't think I'd be able to do that. Scott and Cindy are remarkable examples of Christ's love. I ask that you please do keep them in your prayers. Please help them as they continue to go through this. It's um, I can't even imagine what that must have been like for them. And to still be so capable, so willing to show Christ's love to these people. These people who stole their daughter from them. These people who did it for a paycheck. It is truly, as Scott said, an anti-Christ system. It is evil. It is heartless. It is cruel.
Starting point is 02:56:34 It is set up simply to make money for the system. It's set up to make money for these hospitals, and they don't care what they do to families, who they hurt, who they kill. Got some comments here. SoloCat1980. Rigged jury appears that way. Certainly does to me. I don't have any proof. I don't have any inside information. But I don't know how you can look at the evidence just from what I've seen. Just from having Scott on the show and my dad interviewed him. What he said. I don't see how you could return that verdict if you have even the slightest hint of a conscience. I just don't understand it.
Starting point is 02:57:14 Vasily of 14. Their excuse was her being special needs. They didn't do it to healthy people in all ages. That is right. They do it over and over again. COVID kicked it into high gear. Canada has fully sanctioned euthanasia. They push it on people, but it's a more quiet process here in the United States. They just put you on a ventilator or put you on medication that's going to cause your body to shut down, and it's going to result in a huge payout for the hospital. And it's gonna result in a huge payout for the hospital. Doug de 007, our legal and medical systems are both so very corrupt. Yes they are. There isn't, there doesn't seem to be any health and medicine and no justice in the
Starting point is 02:57:55 judicial system. Does there? They seem to be antithetical to their stated purposes. KWD 68, so many papers are signed in hospital intake. You don't know what you're signing, nor have the time to consider or be in any frame of mind to think about it. That's right. They'll force so many documents on you during a traumatic event. NMAX in the hospital walks away with hundreds of thousands for their medical murder. That's right, they made a tidy profit killing Grace Shara, I'm sure. I'm sure it was incredibly profitable when they took the
Starting point is 02:58:30 life of that wonderful young woman and took her from her family. John Basilone. What they did to Grace, they did to countless others. This is still systemic. That's right, it's still going on. Nostradamus, morphine pumps are for death only. I don't know much about medicine, but I do know that I've mostly heard of morphine, as Cindy said, as a drug they give as palliative care when you're dying, simply to manage the pain, when they're not interested in helping you recover, when it's simply about easing your passing. It certainly seems to imply to me very heavily that they had no interest in helping Grace, that this was
Starting point is 02:59:15 simply a way of keeping her more comfortable as they let her die. Again, I don't know much about medicine. I don't claim to know anything. But from what I've heard, what they did to Grace was despicable. Please pray for the Shars. Please pray for their peace and comfort during this time. I thank God for the Shars. They're willing to do this. I can't imagine the level of suffering they've gone through. Thank you all for joining us today, folks. I'll be back tomorrow. God bless you all. Have a wonderful day. The Common Man. They created Common Core to dumb down our children. They created Common Pass to track and control us. Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing and the
Starting point is 03:00:25 communist future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary, but each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
