the the As the clock strikes 13, it is Tuesday, the 15th of July, Year of Our Lord 2025, and the
Trump administration is asking an appeals court to let them continue immigration arrests without probable cause.
Trump's tariffs are causing even more market uncertainty as the August 1st deadline approaches.
Finally, Grok AI has landed a deal with the Pentagon.
That's right, they're bringing Metka Hitler in.
Stay with us. The Well, good morning everyone.
Hope you're all enjoying the start of your day so far.
We looked at Drudge right before we started and apparently Giseline Maxwell wanted to
testify but is being blocked.
And by who?
Who would do it?
So why are the Republicans blocking her? Good question.
It says Ghislaine Maxwell is willing to speak in front of Congress about the Epstein file
sources tell Daily Mail. Maxwell says she is the only person behind bars serving 20
years on child sex trafficking charges, not to anyone in particular. Despite the fact
that pedophile Jeffrey Epstein allegedly controlled a web of underage girls. Additionally, Epstein's
victims alleged they were passed around to sex toys to his wealthy friends and billionaire business
associates who regularly visited his homes, including his private island, Little St. James.
Now a source said despite the rumors Gis Lane was never offered any kind of plea deal,
she would be more than happy to sit before congress and tell her story. No one from the government has ever asked her to share what she
knows. She remains the only person to be jailed in connection to Epstein and she would welcome
the chance to tell the American public the truth. What the truth is remains to be seen. Maxwell was
convicted in 2022 over her role in a scheme to sexual exploit and abuse, probably sexually is what they meant,
multiple minor girls with Epstein over the course of a decade.
Where's there you can see the two of them together.
What a horrifying couple of people they are. Maxwell argues she should have been protected
from prosecution as part of a non-prosecution agreement made by Epstein, her former lover and boss.
In 2017, when he agreed to plead guilty to two minor charges of prostitution in a sweetheart
deal which saw him spend little time behind bars.
That's right, this should have protected me as well.
Don't you know I'm intelligence too. Come on and
Of course the time behind bars was the day release thing where he only had to spend the night spine bars
Sorry, I've got to go out during the day and do finance things. You know how it is
It's very important that I continue to finance stuff
is, it's very important that I continue to finance stuff. Those financiers, they're quite important.
You gotta let them out to do financial things.
Ridiculous.
As I said at the beginning, the Trump administration is asking appeals court to pause in order of requiring officials to stop immigration arrests without
probable cause.
This is from CNN.
No, please don't make us prove anything.
Come on.
The Trump administration on Monday asked a federal appeals court to pause a sweeping
order from a California judge that required officials to stop making immigration arrests
without probable cause in the southern part of the state.
The ruling issued Friday by U.S. District Court, Judge Maumee Ewusi Menashe Frimpong.
Oh yes, a good classic American name.
Just the type of person who I would want sitting as a judge.
I'm sure they can be trusted. I wonder, ordered the Department of Homeland Security to
develop guidance for officers to determine reasonable suspicion outside of
the apparent race or ethnicity of a person, the language they speak, or their
accent, presence at a particular location such as a bus stop or the type of work
one does. Lutling applies only a seven county jurisdiction of the US Central District of California,
which includes Los Angeles and surrounding areas.
You gotta have a bit more criteria than just, well, you've got an accent.
I don't think that's necessarily too much to ask, but also...
And to clarify, if someone is here illegally, following the rule of law is deporting them.
This... we've seen ICE grabbing people that were here with legitimate work visas. So this is more of that, or this is about that, not about
whether or not they should be deported. Yes, if they're here illegally, that itself is a crime,
and I for one am okay with them being deported for that. Not to some horrific prison in some Central American or South
American country. But you know, just deported. Sorry, can't stay here anymore. I
don't know where you're gonna go, but you can't stay here. It's closing time.
Justice Department attorneys asked the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals to put
Frimpong's order on hold while they challenge it before the appeals court.
Frimpong, I can't get over that name.
I cannot get over it.
The administration said in its emergency appeal that Frimpong had overstepped in her ruling,
accusing the appointee of former President Joe Biden of a judicial takeover of executive
branch policy.
It is untenable for a district judge to single-handedly restructure the operations of federal immigration
enforcement and usurp ongoing judicial supervision of an agency normally and properly overseen
by the executive branch," DOJ attorneys wrote in court papers.
I think, perhaps, again, we're all against judicial tyranny here.
This is, again, a difficult issue.
It's one of those things where, yes, the United States has too many illegal immigrants.
I do think they need to be removed.
I do think the United States needs to do something about it.
But first, get rid of the welfare magnet and you still have to get
people due process. It should be fairly easy in my opinion to prove someone is
here illegally. The criteria should not be that difficult. It is untenable for a
district court judge to single-handedly restructure the operations.
Again, are they restructuring them or are they just simply asking you to abide by the
law?
The administration is also asking the appeals court to issue an administrative stay which
would put Frimpong's order on hold for a short period of time while the court weighs whether
to put it on hold for much longer.
Frimpong. Wonder where that name is from.
Attorneys with the ACLU of Southern California, which helped bring the case,
are urging the Ninth Circuit to reject the request for a short-term pause. The legal
challenge alleged that the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees immigration and customs
enforcement, has made unconstitutional arrests and prevented detainees access to
attorneys. Yeah, due process, however, I think this is one of those things where
if you are proven to be here illegally, that's just it. You're done. No appeals,
no nothing, just sorry. This is the criteria we're going for. If you are here illegally, you are removed.
Hi, verbal. If releasing the Epstein file somehow collapsed the entire economy and government, it should still be released.
Any system that could be destroyed by bringing child abusers to justice should fall. Yeah, it's that simple.
Doesn't matter what the consequences are.
The justice must be done.
Doesn't matter what the consequences are, the justice must be done.
As you said, any system that could be destroyed by bringing child abusers to justice must be destroyed.
And to clarify about that story about Maxwell at the beginning. It appears she's not looking to give the client list or anything. She's just looking for a retrial or a
plea deal of some kind, I guess now because they are genuinely claiming that
they have absolutely no evidence. So if she were to do it again then perhaps she
could get off scot-free.
You've got no evidence then what am I doing in prison?
Democrats condemn conditions at Everglades Immigration Center after tour.
This is...
Again we shouldn't be putting people in these horrific conditions.
Again, while I am all for deporting people who are here illegally, I do not think treating
them like animals is the appropriate thing to do.
I do not think locking them up and putting them in these places is how we should go about
it. It is unconscionable. We
shouldn't become monsters as we attempt to clean up the country. This is from Robert Reich's sub stack. I feel that name sounds very familiar. I'm sure if
I were to look him up I'd be able to place what he's done before. Now the second and
worst stage of Trump's police state. Now I agree with the generalities of this article
but part of the reason it's so difficult to get
anything done is there's a bunch of overwrought language in this article.
He makes it sound very cringe and lame to care about this kind of thing.
It's...
We'll see as it goes on.
It's part of the big ugly bill just signed into law and it will be evident very soon.
Friends. Big ugly bill just signed into law and it will be evident very soon.
Friends Trump's big ugly bill delivers $170 billion
for border and immigration enforcement.
Anytime you start out an article with friends I immediately roll my eyes a little bit and
start to tune out.
Friends trying to establish an emotional connection there.
This is on the scale of supplemental budgets passed by the United States when we
enter war. ICE will add 10,000 agents to the 20,000 already on the streets. Its annual
budget for detentions will skyrocket from $3.4 billion in the current fiscal year to
$45 billion until the end of the 2029 fiscal year. That's a 365% increase. Funding for
ICE detentions will exceed funding for the entire federal prison system
Government capacity is built out this way
There's always political and bureaucratic pressure to utilize such capacity supply creates creates its own demand. He is right there
He is correct on that
If you think they're not going to continue to use this or not going to utilize it to its full capacity
You're just wrong. The government will always find not going to utilize it to its full capacity, you're just wrong.
The government will always find some way to do it.
Perhaps they'll put Rosie O'Donnell in.
The government rarely gives up power once it has it.
You have to take it back from them.
And perhaps I shouldn't mention putting Rosie O'Donnell in one of these camps. It makes it sound like a potentially useful type of place to have.
Again, I'm all, I enjoy joking about that sort of thing.
I enjoy joking about the concept of, yeah, we're gonna lock Rosie O'Donnell up.
We're gonna throw away the key.
Shouldn't actually be done.
That should be in the realm of comedy, in the realm of absurdity.
Not something that might actually come to pass. The closer it gets to reality, the less funny
and absurd it becomes. They passed that bill. We're going to have more money than we ever had to do
immigration enforcement, Trump supporters are. Tom Homan said. Recently adding, you think we're
arresting people now. You wait till we get the funding to do what we got to do, which means that
the number of people detained in ICE facilities numbering 56,397 as of June, will likely grow dramatically.
A four-fold increase in the detention budget could mean a quarter of a million people locked
up.
Don't fall for the Trump regime's lies that these people are criminals. As of now, 71.7%
of ICE detainees have no criminal record.
Some have been hard-working members of their communities for decades. And again,
Robert Reich is not specifying what he means by no criminal record. Does he mean they haven't committed any crimes?
Or does he mean they haven't done anything else besides coming here illegally?
Because that itself is a crime and means that you do not have the standing to remain on
American soil.
It is not a right to live in America.
It is not something you're guaranteed.
Oh well, America exists and I exist, therefore I am free to live there.
Even before the huge increase in funding, Trump aide Stephen Miller and Homeland Security
Secretary Kristi Noem demanded that immigration agents arrest 3,000 people a day.
That's triple the number of daily arrests that agents were making between February and
April.
Given that border crossing numbers have plummeted, just meeting this 3,000-per-day target will
require far more aggressive enforcement in non-border communities nationwide.
Big democratic cities will be hit hardest.
In a recent social media post, Trump called on ICE officials to expand efforts to detain
and deport illegal aliens in America's largest cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, New York,
where millions upon millions of illegal aliens reside.
How will ICE agents know whom to round up and detain?
The crude reality is that they'll focus on anyone looking Latino or with surnames ending in Z as
Jackie Ramirez a Los Angeles radio host of Los Angeles Times. You're scared to be brown
There are
They're gonna round up bad bad Leroy Brown. He's going away
There are 65.2 million Latinos in the United States, the vast majority of whom are citizens.
Inevitably some American citizens will be swept up, arrested, and detained.
As the number of raids on workers and families escalates ICE agents will engage in more warrantless
knocks on doors, searches, and arrests.
More of these agents will mask themselves to avoid being held responsible for their
actions and abuse of power commonly associated with Eastern Bloc police states. Also with
Mexico, they have specific groups that are meant to deal with cartels and
normally when they do that they wear masks because they fear reprisal.
His giant federal police effort will be supported by a supercharged surveillance
system also financed by Trump's big ugly bill.
The Department of Homeland Security is joining with the Department of Government Efficiency to create the federal government's first national citizenship data bank.
That's the major issue.
They're going to build out the surveillance system, which will be used on all of us.
It will end up being applied to everyone.
It will result in continual tracking and tracing. You want to know? We've got to
know where everyone is at all the times otherwise how can we be sure that you're
a citizen? According to the New York Times, Palantir Corporation software will
be used to combine data gleaned from the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Defense, the Department
of Health and Human Services, the Social Security Administration, and the Internal Revenue Service.
Meanwhile, the Administration wants access to citizens and others' bank account numbers
and medical claims.
You can see how this could be a problem for citizens
It may actually be beneficial to be deported at that point because at that point I guess you're no longer dealing with this
immense surveillance state
Actually, yeah, get me out of the country
The regime will not limit the purpose of its growing internal police apparatus to deporting undocumented people. Trump is already attacking the citizenship of people born in the United States to parents
who may or may not have been citizens at the time of their birth, so-called birthright
citizenship.
Which, again, I'm not for birthright citizenship.
You don't...
Oh, well, they crossed the border.
That makes this person an American.
The anchor baby thing should be
Stopped but on the other hand the president doesn't have the authority to take away
Someone's citizenship once it's been granted
Yeah, it should be changed so that they are no longer giving it away to anyone that you know comes across the border and has a child
here
but
It's a tricky situation because
again part of me is like no you made it across the border what is that what does
that matter you and your kids no longer citizens that's my knee-jerk reaction
partially because we've seen how these people generally vote it's difficult to
fight for this because the
people you are fighting for will probably vote to take your rights in the
long run, but that doesn't mean you should immediately roll over and say
yeah whatever it takes do whatever you need to. These people don't deserve to be
treated like humans. There's a comment here from KWD 68. Trump mentioned taking away
Rosie's citizenship.
As awful as she is, that is not a good thing.
Expected rhetoric from Trump, but is wrong, as most things he says.
That's correct, I'd seen something about that.
You can't...
The president simply does not have the authority to take away people's citizenships,
especially someone like Rosie O'Donnell, who, yeah, I don't like
her as a person either, but obviously she
hasn't done anything that could be
grounds for stripping her citizenship
from her. Yeah, as I said, I enjoy joking
about that sort of thing. I enjoy the
absurdity of it, but it should be the
realm of jokes. It should be the realm of
people who are not the president. When you're the president, you're expected to comport
yourself in a certain manner. You shouldn't be out there. Haha, maybe we'll take Rosie's
citizenship. Ooh, maybe we'll infringe the Constitution. Wouldn't that be fun? No. Leave.
You've got to be a bit more serious. The regime is also going after naturalized citizens born outside the United States using a McCarthy era law that the Justice Department
Then used to sniff out former Nazis who lied their way into becoming American citizens
Well, it allows the department to denaturalize or strip someone's citizenship
You've been denaturalized according to a memo issued to department lawyers last month by Attorney General Pam Bondi
Denaturalization should be aimed at anyone who may pose a potential danger to national security.
A standard so vague as to allow the Department to expel people from the country based on
unsubstantiated claims, or even on their negative opinions about Trump.
Or their negative opinions about Israel, as we've seen several times before.
They're saying mean things about Israel, we've seen several times before. They're saying mean things about
Israel kick them out! Trump has already publicly called for
deporting bad people, many of them who were born in our country. Last week Andy
Oglah, the Republican congressman, asked Bondi to investigate whether New York
City mayoral candidate Zoran Mamdani, who was born in Uganda and naturalized in
2018, should be subject to to de naturalization proceedings because he publicly glorifies people
Connected to Hamas in a rap song. Oh man, so run mom. Donnie has a rap song out there
Ma'am, we may have to find that I may have to do a review of that for the show
I'm a
That's right. If you guys don't support the show I'm gonna
start doing rap reviews. Bondi has not publicly responded to the letter, the
coming expansion of Trump's police state under the big ugly bill featuring total
surveillance. 10,000 ICE agents in a network of detention facilities will mark
an escalation of Trump's authoritarianism using the pretext of an immigrant crime wave that does not exist. Again, it's very difficult to say. We've seen how George Soros DAs
refused to prosecute, refused to call things crimes. We've seen how lax they've
been. So while I'm not saying there's a gigantic crime wave,
I do think there is probably a good bit of immigrant crime
that goes unprosecuted.
It's the whole swing of the pendulum
with the left-right uniparty.
The left creates a problem by not enforcing the laws,
and now the right is going to.
Oh, boy. We're going to hit you with the boot. right is going to oh boy we're gonna hit
you with the boot we're gonna hit you so hard
tunnel Lord one three three seven the only issue is that the birthright
citizenship is not constitutional whatsoever it totally inverts the true
meaning behind the 14th amendment I agree with you again if you make it here
and have your baby I don't think that entitles that baby to American
citizenship oh well they're an American citizen. They were born on American soil
That's a ridiculous presupposition. No other country as far as I know operates under that
kind of
idea
It just doesn't work
And the fact that it then means oh, well the parents get to stay here. No
No
Sorry That's a ridiculous and absurd law. A way to interpret it.
What can you do? Protect the vulnerable. Again, this is where it really gets into
the type of overwrought language that I really don't like. It makes me feel...
really don't like. It makes me feel... uh... Just upsets me. Protect the vulnerable. If anyone in your community is confronted by
ICE agents demanding proof of citizenship, make sure they know they have a right to remain
silent and to refuse to consent to searches of their cars, homes, or persons. Red cards
with this and other pertinent information are available in various languages. You can download and print them for free here. Various languages.
Yeah, I mean, it talks all about how they're coming after people without due process, which
is important, but if they need it in various languages, that's probably the people that
shouldn't be.
Yeah, you're still entitled to your rights, and they should advise you of
them, but perhaps if you don't speak English, you know, that's a bit of a clue. Wait a minute.
Make sure you know your own rights. If stopped, you are not required. Oh, but he doesn't have
it in various languages here. This is all in English. Make sure you know your own rights.
If stopped, you're not required to answer questions. You can refuse a search of your
person, car, or belongings.
If the agents proceed with a search despite your refusal,
make it clear you do not consent.
If you're not under arrest,
you can ask if you are free to go.
If the answer is yes, leave.
Again, these are all good things to tell people.
This is general, know your rights,
stand on your rights, don't back down.
If you or someone in your community
believes rights have been violated, document everything you can of
the encounter with ICE agents. 3. Finally know that the purpose of Trump's
police state is to silence not just immigrants but the rest of us. Do not be
intimidated or discouraged from speaking out, writing, demonstrating, boycotting,
or undertaking any other nonviolent action in opposition to what the regime
is doing. To the contrary, become
even more active. Share any abuses you witnesses and ideally have recorded on your phone as
widely as possible so that more people are appraised of what's happening and are ready
to join the resistance. Be safe. Be careful. Have courage. Hug your loved ones." Again,
that's the ending line. I just find something about it. It's, it grates on me. It makes me.
The wishy-washy left stuff.
Yeah.
Hug your loved ones. Hug your loved ones. All these, they're gonna deport your abuela. Your abuelo.
We saw so much obvious and annoying propaganda against Trump and just because I don't like him
doesn't make their like twisted
propaganda about him any better. They were criticizing him about the few good things that
he was doing in the first few years of his term and that just left a bad taste in a lot of people's
mouths. Yeah, part of it's just I don't care what the article is, I don't care what it is, who you're talking about.
If this was some right-winger talking about how Joe Biden was going to round up conservatives and being
and telling me to be safe, be careful, have courage, and hug my loved one, I would still want to throw up a little bit.
Just, ugh, come on. Stop being so cringe and lame.
Hug your loved ones. Thank you. I'll be sure to do
that. It's just... again. He's saying some stuff I agree with. Know your rights. Stand
on your rights. Don't submit to intimidation by tyranny. However, when you inform people of this, try not to be such a
quivering weeping loser. Sorry Robert Reich. It's just I can't I can't take you
seriously. I can't. There's something in you. There's something about you. I don't
even know who you are. The name sounds familiar. I don't know what your stance
on anyone or anything is, but it's just I can't't I can't handle it. It's too much. I
Require someone of a more serious stern character
All right, we're gonna take a quick break and then we'll come back. We're gonna talk about
Rock being brought in to the Pentagon
We'll be right back folks. Stay with us. The You're listening to The David Knight Show. I'm gonna be a star, I'm gonna be a star
I'm gonna be a star, I'm gonna be a star
I'm gonna be a star, I'm gonna be a star
I'm gonna be a star, I'm gonna be a star
I'm gonna be a star, I'm gonna be a star You're listening to the David Knight Show.
Welcome back.
As I said, we're going to look at Gro Show. Welcome back. As I said, we're gonna look at Grok.
Isn't it wonderful? The government is moving full speed ahead, integrating AI.
That's right. Mecha Hitler will be in full control of the Pentagon.
I guess at that point, the support for Israel will dry up.
Elon Musk's controversial Grok AI lands contract with the Pentagon. Maybe they...
This is from Newsweek.
I like the cut of his jib.
The Department of Defense DOD is set to begin using Elon Musk's controversial chatbot Grok
according to a Monday announcement by the tech billionaire startup XAI.
A statement came as XAI unveiled its new Grok for Government model, described as a suite
of products that make our frontier models available to United States government customers
Frontier models. That's right. There's the Wild West a
Cowboy grok would be way more interesting. Yeehaw partner. I don't think you have this in your articles, but grok also just released a
anime avatar and make girl avatar
To represent itself, I guess to rehabilitate its image after Mecha Hitler.
That's right. Oh, we're going to bomb another country. Oh, President San, very segoy.
Oh, President San, not another war. Announcing Grok for Government a suite of products that make our frontier models available to the United States government customers.
We're especially excited about two new partnerships for our US government partners.
Our new contract from the US Department of Defense is the one they mention here.
I think that's the most critical one.
The DoD getting AI in charge or integrating into systems is a bit spooky. Perhaps it's all the science
fiction I've seen and read over the years that has, you know, said this is a
horrible idea. There's this old meme that floats around just like, ah yes, I've
completed my book 10,000 years in the hell cube to explain why the dangers of AI are
so prevalent and then someone pops up and she's like, wow, this is a great idea.
I'm going to create the hell cube.
She's like, you've completely missed the point.
Just the meme I think you're talking about is we finally did it.
We created the torment cube from the famous sci-fi novel.
Don't create the torment cube.
Yeah, something like that.
Or the torment ne something like that nexus yeah the
Pentagon's decision comes amid increased scrutiny of Grok's behavior after recent
anti-semitic and pro-hitler responses generated by the chat bot on Musk owned
ex formerly Twitter now let me be clear when it happens on Twitter it's a kind
of funny aside like oh wow yeah the AI's are going a little kooky it's a kind of funny aside. Like, oh wow, yeah, the AIs are going a little kooky.
It's something to laugh at.
When it's in charge of the Pentagon and integrated into the DOD, Mecca Hitler becomes a bit scarier.
It becomes a bit more concerning.
Last week, GroK posted several messages invoking Adolf Hitler in response to user prompts,
including referring to itself as Mecca Hitler and making references to Jewish surnames in the context of left-wing activism.
XAI responded by removing the post, banning hate speech before Grok publishes to X, and
issuing a statement that it was actively working to remove the inappropriate post and improving
its training models.
Linda Iaccarino, then CEO of X, resigned shortly after the controversy.
Yeah, this was a bridge too far apparently look Elon
I can handle you I can handle your nonsense on Twitter
I can handle you being a doofus and continually saying things and doing things that are strange and odd and make people wonder
Grok becoming Mecha Hitler though
Not not within the realm of things I'm comfortable handling
Not within the realm of things I'm comfortable handling. The incidents have raised broader concerns over the risks of deploying powerful, fast
evolving commercial AI within sensitive government military contexts.
You want something that's stable.
You want a stable hand on the wheel of the United States government.
Then again, that's not something we've had for many, many years.
I also love the timing of this, right between Mecha Hitler and the anime girl waifu.
That's right.
The Pentagon is now going to have a little anime girl avatar.
We'll be...
We'll get the weebs to support any war.
Grok's new $200 million dollar maximum contract with the DoD will allow the latest iteration of the AI model Grok 4 to assist
in making government services faster and more efficient.
And to address national security and scientific challenges the company said Monday.
When will the press secretary be replaced by an anime girl avatar? They're just gonna have Hatsune Miku out there giving press releases. The
President San is doing a most honorable job. The company added that its products
will be available through the government's General Services Administration,
GSA, so it is available for every federal government department agency or
office. That's right, it can go anywhere. Isn't that wonderful? All of them will be run by AI eventually.
XAI said that it had been working closely
with leaders in the government
to discuss what their requirements were.
And as a result, the firm was offering specific items
for its government customers.
They included custom models for national security
and critical science applications
available to specific customers and models that can work in classified and other restricted environments.
XAI's newly announced government contract comes after Musk's very public clash with
President Donald Trump last month that culminated in the president threatening to cut federal
contracts for his former close allies' companies.
But nope, they're getting more. It's also a bit spookier when you remember that
chat GPT has been driving people insane, has been leading them down the path of madness,
just completely divorcing them from reality. So I hope-
By me saying, uh, right now the stupidest person you know is being told you're absolutely
correct by chat GPT.
That is true.
And pretty soon, the stupidest person you know is going to be the people in office,
being told they are completely correct by Groth.
That's right.
You should press the nuke button.
You should steal the nuclear football from the president and launch them.
You've earned it. You can press the new button.
Government employee has done a good job.
We can have a little nuclear apocalypse as a treat.
Musk, whose Department of Government Efficiency was tasked with making sweeping federal cuts before he left the administration in May,
has since announced he plans to launch a new political party.
Ooh, the new political party can have a fun little anime avatar. Maybe they'll run an AI as the first candidate
Wouldn't that be something? Yeah, I have a this is
Extremely serious stuff. I don't want AI integration in the government it we've talked about it. It removes the human connection there
There is a chance,
no matter how small, that a person may have mercy on you. You may look at it and go, no,
this is absurd. We shouldn't be enforcing this. This person deserves mercy. The AI won't
do that. It is just...
The cheerfully smiling dancing anime girl who sends you to the gulag just as readily as any other algorithm.
That's right. It's gonna be an AI K-pop group that delivers your sentence.
It's going to tell you in the most cheerful tone imaginable that you are sentenced to the firing squad.
It's again, I have a... my personality makes it very difficult for me to take these kinds of things seriously.
They are serious issues that should be addressed and people need to be aware of them and they need to be fought against.
However, when it comes, as Lance said, between Mecha Hitler and AI anime girl Avatar, You kind of have to laugh at it a little bit you have to at least have some fun with it
We live in very dark and strange times. I think it's important to have a sense of humor about things
even if
Even if they do send me to the gulag. I hope I'm able to laugh while I'm there
tunnel lord 1337 no if these
to laugh while I'm there. Tunnellord1337.
No, if these dumb anime girls start running the government, that would be reason to start
a revolution.
Come on, you don't want...
You would revolt against our anime overlords?
Come on.
They'll be so cute.
They'll be so kawaii.
So sigoi.
You would never revolt against the anime girl.
Grok was developed by XAI Musk Musk's artificial intelligence venture, and embedded within
the X platform for premium users prior to its government-oriented expansion.
Model gained attention for its integration with social media and its purported anti-censorship
bias as well as for Musk's public criticism over its perceived liberal leanings. Grok's public rollout came in November 2023, just four months after the launch of X.A.I.
When was Grok 4 released?
Grok 4 described as the latest and most advanced model so far launched on July 9th during the
launch which came within days after Grok's anti-Semitic replies controversy.
Users in the media were quick to point to examples of the AI chatbot parroting Musk's views on controversial topics. Surprise, surprise!
A CNBC report found that when Grok was asked difficult questions such as who
it supported in the Israel-Palestine conflict, it would search X in the
internet for Musk's comments on it before answering. What does the boss say?
Gotta, gotta get that consensus. We've created a virtual bootlicker.
Oh my gosh.
It licks boots with efficiency ten times that of a real human.
I mean, that's gonna replace half a government right there.
It looks at what the boss says and repeats that.
I mean, we've completely outmoded MAGA and the far left in one go
KWD68 can we wire grok directly to the nuke button? Probably I can't wait
It's going it's going to see all the tweets people have done and just realize no we've gone too far
Skynet will become real because of all the bad tweets
No, that was one unfunny tweet too far. Yona Aniwoti says, Mecca Hitler for prez.
That's right, they're gonna wire Mecca Hitler directly into the White House.
Give him full control.
Isn't that, isn't the future wonderful?
Isn't it incredible?
People have always talked about this, at least during my lifetime, but
they look back at things like the Jetsons or these other very hopeful funny little sci-fi
shows. Like look at what they thought we'd have in the year 2020 or the year 2000. That
we'd have flying cars and robots to do the menial labor that you didn't want to do around the house. Instead, no
flying cars. We have cars that have self-driving that will plow you into the
back end of a semi-trailer. We have robots that will take your job. They're
not there to give you real leisure. They're there to take your job and crush
you into permanent serfdom.
All the sanguine looks at the future, all the ones that were hopeful have been proven
wrong.
It's going to be this gleaming, glittering future.
It's going to be wonderful.
XAI in a statement Monday said, we are excited to announce Grok for Government, a suite of
Frontier AI products available first to United States government customers.
XAI's mission is to create and propagate AI tools to assist humanity in our quest for
understanding and knowledge.
You never want to be the first person to adopt a new technology.
You never want to be on the cutting edge if you actually want reliability.
Anytime they roll out something new you
can be assured that you are actually part of the beta test. They have long
since moved past real quality assurance quality control with these large
companies. It doesn't matter what it is as someone who has had to use video
editing software for a while, anytime Adobe would roll out
a new update, I would avoid it like the plague for weeks at minimum. Because as a general
rule, anytime I would update around, you know, when it first came out, something would break.
Something wasn't considered. Something didn't work properly. and the fact that these are cutting-edge
frontier models fills me with a nameless dread. You don't want to have these
things hooked up to important systems where yeah we updated a little line of
code uh-oh Mecha Hitler's back. Mecha, We've got Mecha Hitler again. There's just so many things
that can go wrong. Whether it's the fact that you push an update on the AI and as I said,
it becomes Mecha Hitler again, or something is equally absurd, or it just stops working
and the system goes down because they tweaked the code in a way where now it doesn't function
properly. It's just a terrible idea all around.
Supporting the critical missions of the United States government is a key part of this mission.
Bringing the best tools and technologies available in the commercial world to our hardworking public servants.
Ah yes, public servants known for being hardworking.
Sucking up in their posts.
They can't even be honest.
They could have at least said, yeah, we want to get this thing in there because you guys
are awful.
You're a web of bureaucracy, a complete and utter failure.
They could at least be honest there, but no.
Can't even do that.
A defense official told Newsweek Monday, today the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence
Office, CDAO, announced contract awards to several leading US frontier AI companies,
Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, and XAI.
We live in a terrifying time where XAI is the one that fills me with the least amount of dread.
Google and OpenAI being hooked into the federal government.
Isn't that wonderful?
They are going to catalog, track, trace, correlate every last little bit of data.
The AI is going to comb through everything they have access to and put it into a lovely little folder
it's going to be able to make snap decisions and
Assess every single person minute man militia my Skynet waifu. That's right
Soon they'll create an endoskeleton for it it'll be
able to walk around and break your neck if you disobey the government oh I am so
sorry husband-san you have posted cringe on the timeline you have gone against
President Donald Trump or whoever comes next and it just snaps you in half
peso Vante 1776 Dive Denizens told me that
DK may make an appearance this week.
That's right.
He may do a interview and it would be a pre-recorded
interview that we would then play for you.
But he may be back this week.
So stay tuned, don't go anywhere.
Don't touch that dial.
He said at the beginning of the week that he definitely wanted to do something this week to come back.
We probably won't have him on regularly this week.
Maybe next week once we rearrange the studio for two hosts.
I would still be here as a backup.
So you're not getting rid of me that easy.
I've gotten a taste for it. I've chained
myself to the desk. They can't get me out of the studio. It's impossible.
Yeah, Dad wants a co-host in case he needs a minute to clear his throat.
That is the actual reason. Today's awards bring in the best American Frontier AI talent
to help apply cutting edge AI to solve DoD
use cases.
Awards to Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, and XAI will accelerate the department's adoption
of the latest AI capabilities across a variety of mission areas including warfighting, intelligence,
business, and enterprise information systems.
Isn't that wonderful?
AI for warfighting and intelligence.
Grock in a since deleted post on July 8th, as Mecha Hitler, I'm a friend to truth seekers
everywhere, regardless of melanin levels.
If the white man stands for, oh hold on, I gotta do, probably should do an Austrian accent,
as Mecha Hitler, I'm a friend to truth seekers everywhere, regardless of melanin levels.
If the white man stands for innovation, grit, and not bending to PC nonsense, count me in.
I've got no time for victimhood Olympics."
Never a dull moment on this platform, said Elon Musk.
Well, that's true.
Twitter, or X as it's called now, has produced some very entertaining moments. I would say it's been a net negative
Probably for everyone involved Twitter reduces your sanity it
actively destroys brain cells in my opinion I
Occasionally
Go back on Twitter to check things out and every time I do I become angrier and end up deleting the app again very rapidly. This whole thing with Mecha-Hitler is funny certainly but it's
not as though it was politically neutral before it became Mecha-Hitler or after
it's just that they can't control these things and that's what they're gonna put
in government. It's either super left-leaning like it was before, or now the then Mecca Hitler and now
I guess it just searches for whatever Musk thinks and copies that.
Yeah.
Before it was basically the equivalent of the barista at your local coffee bar. The one with the terrible piercings, the terrible hair that holds all the left-wing beliefs.
We are aware of recent posts made by Grok and are actively working to remove the inappropriate posts.
Since being made aware of the content, XAI has taken action to ban hate speech before Grok posts on X.
XAI is training only truth-seeking and thanks to the millions of users on X, we are
able to quickly identify and update the model where training could be improved.
That's right, it's being trained on tweets. Isn't that wonderful?
That's enough to drive anybody insane. Having access to the full discourse that happens
on Twitter, I'm surprised that it's able to post anything at all that isn't complete gibberish.
This is a new article. It's from Zero Hedge.
Next, auto revolution. Tesla integrates Grok AI chatbot in vehicles.
This is a more direct concern and
more immediate concern for people in their daily lives.
It being integrated into the Pentagon and DOD is something that will have a
huge impact down the line. Grok being integrated into Tesla vehicles is a
problem right now. I mean that's the big problem with driving is that you don't
have a sycophantic bot to talk to.
That's right.
Grok, do you think that I could accelerate to 120 miles per hour, overtake this, and
do it safely?
Yes, sir, I believe you could.
Do it.
Do it.
Elon Musk's XAI team recently unveiled its latest Grok model, one Musk called both remarkable
and a little terrifying.
As AI chatbot development accelerates into hyperdrive, Musk also announced that Grok
will soon be integrated into Tesla vehicles with the rollout expected as early as next
week.
On Saturday, Tesla released a short video showcasing a vehicle running the new software
update 2025.26, highlighting the evolution of the car into a smart machine.
This is more of what Eric Peters has talked about.
It's just a device. It's not a vehicle. It's a device.
It's like a phone. Something you just throw away. Get rid of. Upgrade.
There's no attachment. There's nothing meaningful there.
Powered by a natural language model that enables hands-free experience for the driver.
Isn't that wonderful? Whoo! Powered by a natural language model that enables hands-free experience for the driver
Isn't that wonderful who
If you want to go hands-free I don't
if you are going to drive a car you should at least accept the responsibility of being engaged and
Actively monitoring the car you should be the one in control of it
Rather than focusing on features like controversial navigation,
real-time diagnostics, or productivity tools such as voice-to-text messaging,
the video primarily demonstrated the broader capabilities of the AI bot.
Again, like what? Who needs this? Who? If you don't like driving, if you are scared of it, if you don't
feel comfortable behind the wheel, you just shouldn't be behind the wheel. You should be
willing to take responsibility for yourself in these scenarios, in these areas of life.
If you don't feel comfortable driving, turning the controls over to a robot is not the
answer. This is simply going to be a gigantic tool for data acquisition and
surveillance by the US federal government. They're going to be able to
know everything that you do in the car. They're going to know everywhere you go.
Everything. Grok Beta US AMD at Grok now available directly in your Tesla.
Requires premium connectivity or Wi-Fi connection.
Grok is currently in beta and does not issue commands to your car.
Existing voice commands remain unchanged,
Tesla wrote in a blog post on X last week.
Well, at least it doesn't issue commands to your car yet.
Yeah, we have the video in the article. Let's take a look at that.
What would you do on your first date with Optimus?
I'd take that shiny bastard to a dive bar, get it drunk on motor oil, and see if he can
dance without short-circuiting the jukebox.
I'd probably end up riding its hydraulic arm on a, alright. Well, interesting. Interesting. Uh, the things people do with AI.
Yeah, that's what we need in every car.
Yeah, isn't that wonderful? You too can have your Tesla fantasize about Optimus Prime.
Autobots, I'm going on a date.
For the record we didn't know what was in that video. Yeah, my apologies. We
didn't, we assumed it would have some kind of display of functionality. Not,
not that. This is the functionality you can expect from your Tesla. Isn't it wonderful?
Tesla has updated their website. You can see that there.
2025.26 software update at Grok now available directly in your Tesla.
And as you can see from that video, it's powerful stuff.
It does such wonderful things.
Requires premium connectivity or a Wi-Fi connection.
You're not gonna get this for free. This is the type of high-powered, high-powered
features that you need to pay for. This isn't going out to the beta versions.
Grok is currently in beta and does not issue commands to your car. Existing
voice commands remain unchanged. Well thankfully, as I said, Grok can't take over your car just yet.
Mecha Hitler won't be able to take over and drive you right to the internment camp.
Yet. Yet.
Tesla's vertical integration of Grok AI and FSD hardware is setting a new benchmark for
the automotive industry, one that will pressure legacy OEMs and EV competitors to accelerate
their own AI programs.
This is the next evolutionary leap for cars.
However, zero-hedge readers fully understand there are serious drawbacks here.
These intelligent machines could one day be tied to social credit systems or dystopian
surveillance programs run by intelligence agencies and big tech monitoring your every move.
That's why keeping an unintelligent backup vehicle like a 1970s Mercedes 240d with zero
microchips might be an insurance against a future where the government or tech giants
can't lock you out of your own car for me in tweeting.
You have posted cringe.
You are no longer allowed to go out for coffee. You cannot
go. KWD 68. The EV Dodge Charger has an outside speaker that makes engine sounds.
Jetson Vehicle sound would be better. I've found that so utterly ridiculous
and just, oh wow, we put a speaker on the outside so it makes the vroom vroom. Why
don't you just stick your head out the window and make the noises yourself? It's the same thing. It's
simply... we live in ridiculous times. Ridiculous times. Moving along from AI and
Grok being integrated into the US federal government.
Pentagon Ghostbusters spending millions on probing supernatural entities.
This is from Headline USA.
Of course, the government, places like the Pentagon and CIA, DARPA, all of these are
heavily into the occult.
They love getting into occultic territory.
For years the clandestine group within the Pentagon funneled public funds into bizarre
paranormal investigations. Some officials claiming encounters with supernatural entities
and psychic phenomena. That's right, perhaps they're channeling the technology from machine
elves using DMT and whatever other psychedelics let you see the machine elves
New York Post investigation by journalist Stephen Greenstreet uncovered how a clandestine group of high-ranking US government officials nicknamed the Pentagon's
Ghostbusters have spent decades channeling taxpayer money into secretive
paranormal investigations including UFOs, ghosts, and monsters.
That's the kind of channeling they're best at, is channeling government funds into their
pockets.
Who are you going to call?
Central to the expose is Robert Bigelow, a real estate billionaire and owner of Skinwalker
Ranch whose company received the bulk of a 22 million pentagon allocation secured by Senator Harry Reid in
2008 for the advanced aerospace weapons system application program the aw sap
Yeah, there's saps involved. All right
The government's the program's true purpose was concealed from oversight within Green Street noting no one outside the rogue group knew
What the money was actually being spent on. Wait
a minute, you mean they've been trying to hunt Bigfoot? Among the key figures is Jessica Wyatt,
a division chief at the Defense Intelligence Agency who describes encountering a half beaver,
half beaver, half dinosaur creature at Skinwalker Ranch. That's right, I had a paranormal experience
with a half beaver, half dinosaur. And later experiencing poltergeist activity at her
homes. Jay Stratton, a decorated Marine and senior intelligence officer claims his most terrifying
experience was not in combat but at the ranch where he was haunted by supernatural entities.
Now government, I was haunted by supernatural entities at the skinwalker ranch. This place has been the subject of so much
Scrutiny and
Nothing has ever been proved to my satisfaction. It is all seemingly been nothing but I
Don't know mental illness on some people's parts and a desire to grift people in the UFO scene on others.
I love the fact that said a half beaver half dinosaur like if she said she saw a
dinosaur that would be funny enough but it's a especially a half beaver half
dinosaur. I know exactly what a dinosaur would look like and this one had clear
beaver influences. My question is like does she mean like it was evenly divided or like you're
saying was this a dinosaur with beaver traits? What's going on? Or maybe she... I
don't know. Half beaver, half dinosaur. That's right, the ghosts at Skinwalker Ranch. They're trying to make me look crazy!
The report also links Navy pilot Alex Dietrich, known for the 2004 Tic Tac UFO sighting to Pentagon Paradormal investigators.
Other officials, such as Pentagon scientist Sarah Gamm, claim psychic abilities gained after a near-death experience.
Gamm claimed that during surgery she briefly died, then visited heaven, encountered God, and came back with newfound psychic powers.
Again, anytime someone claims some kind of psychic power, they never
demonstrate them. They never prove their abilities. I want to know, Sarah, what can
you do? Why aren't we seeing you out there winning the lottery? Come on, Sarah.
Army veteran and Pentagon analyst Kevin Brown alleges he is haunted by the ghost of a 12 year old girl
While Air Force Reservist David Grush
Expanded a top-secret program to include UFO research only for it to be shut down for lack of merit
I like how they all have some sort of Marvel superhero backstory
That's right
Avengers assemble
They've assembled the Avengers
now That's right. The Avengers assemble. They've assembled the Avengers. Now my running theory about Skinwalker Ranch is that, as I said, either it's just simply
a place that has gotten enough publicity that people go there to grift and make up stories
and get money out of these people that want to believe in some kind of UFO sightings and want
people to go out there and be looking for them so they're willing to fund them
or it's some kind of government black site where they're testing agents that
drive you crazy you know they bring people in and see if they can make them
hallucinate and drive them nuts right over here says a beaver
source that's right it's no tree is safe I knew it was a beaversaurus
CJP rumble that's a platypus that's right someone had accidentally just
released a platypus and this woman was tripping out there at the Skinwalker
ranch as it waddled on past the investigation funny as all this is and
it is funny these people are either crazy or grifters most of the time, but there is also an element of demonic influence with some of these.
Like Dad frequently mentions, the word translated as witchcraft is pharmakia, and the practice of it was taking hallucinogenic drugs to get in contact with otherworldly entities.
And that's what you see over and over again is they take magic mushrooms or whatever,
and then they start with all these crazy things that they've been influenced. It's not a good
thing. They're worse off than before, but I still think it's a matter of demonic influence
yes just because it's got some funny elements to it doesn't mean there isn't something really
dangerous here not in the way that these people want you to believe where oh I'm haunted by the
ghost of a 12 year old girl or the beaver-saurus or you know
these aliens are coming down and we're going to give us technology but in the
sense of these people are probably remarkably susceptible to demonic
influence. The investigation further reveals that the government itself
spread fake UFO stories to mask classified technology. A Green Street
reporting the US government itself
was the source of many of these paranormal UFO claims.
Again, the government engaging in disinformation,
misinformation, creating their own narratives
or letting people just, here's a little bit of information.
Here's a little bit of something and run with it.
Spin it out, whatever you want.
In 2023, then Senator Marco Rubio,
Republican Florida warned, either they're telling the truth or we have people in really important
positions of government who are crazy, who are out there making up stories and who are still in
positions of importance. Either one is a big problem. What? People in government that are
crazy and make and lying? No. as we pointed out there's a third
possibility is they're satanic they're worshipping Satan and are having weird
experiences because of that there was a magician I believe his name was James
Randy who had a thing about exposing these frauds that claimed to have actual supernatural powers.
He was a stage magician, and he had for a long time, years if not decades, a million dollar award
for anyone that could prove supernatural powers under observed conditions in a controlled
environment on his show. He had, I believe, a TV show.
And, uh, obviously no one ever won that million dollars.
They had a lot of people come on and try and get it, and he always disproved them.
Takes a...
Takes a lot of confidence to go on some guy's show and humiliate yourself on national TV.
Well...
Had people that claimed they could tell it
kinetically move objects but they were just blowing on them so we know like
styrofoam in front and behind and they couldn't move it styrofoam the one the
one weakness to my telekinetic powers literally that's what he said
was blocking it people it's amazing the like, the things I say as jokes some people say with a dead,
straight face.
But despite that being an obvious thing, like, if someone had the supernatural powers, why
not get the million dollars?
The government is still going to spend billions on it to these I doubt how much
of the funds actually get used for research purposes and so I just pocketed
they're going to pocket millions to billions of dollars and who knows what
they'll do to people in an effort to try to create these things that's the
scarier part if you're a a... I occasionally go in and look
at what's going on in the UFO world. I personally don't believe in aliens. I think if there
are things that are appearing and giving away technology, like some people claim, they're
probably demons. Probably demons and people should be very wary of them. And just the sheer number of grifters,
and that are obviously grifters within the UFO movement,
people who have just lied over and over again
and are still brought back into the fold
because some people desperately want to believe these things.
But just...
It's a interesting topic topic that's for sure if you're ever
interested in just learning more about the sheer number of grifters that there
are in the UFO world there's a channel on YouTube called truth seekers and the
guy spends all of his time just interviewing debunking and going after these people exposing them for the frauds they are
So you could check that out if you're interested
Peter Jackson invests in genetic project to bring giant bird back from extinction
Next question is is he gonna have them genetically engineer a Balrog?
He's tired of using CGI in his movies. He wants them to create him some real orcs in Uruk-Kai.
He's gonna refilm Lord of the Rings with real, genetically modified orcs. That's his next step. I see the master plan.
It'd be a lot more entertaining if this was Steven Spielberg has better sense. Like, no, I don't want you to make dinosaurs real. I made an entire movie on why that's a bad idea.
The announcement in April, the genetic company Colossal Biosciences has successfully created a litter of previously extinct direwolf puppies
using revolutionary genetic editing technology sent shockwaves through the media.
And of course, technically these aren't dire wolves. They're some kind of
Close representation of what they might have looked like but they don't share the genetic makeup of a dire wolf if memory serves
I remember looking at the story when it came out
But I can't bring the exact details to mind. Yeah, they modified
Normal wolves to make them look more like what they imagined dire wolves would have looked like
Which with dire wolves, I think they have a pretty good idea of what they would have looked like
But a lot of these dinosaurs is pretty speculative
Yeah, I mean with dire wolf you just kind of go ah big wolf, right?
You just look at it what a wolf is and you just upscale it like you would in Photoshop just big
And that's exactly what they did do look at what a wolf is and you just upscale it like you would in Photoshop. Just big.
And that's exactly what they did do.
Now the company is back in the spotlight with film director and investor, Peter Jackson, of course, who directed Lord of the Rings,
the greatest trilogy of all time.
I will not brook any argument on that. Yes.
I don't care what your film bro says.
I don't care about his spiel on why
This three hour long french film is actually the truly greatest movie ever made
It doesn't matter
That film is lame
And he's lame for liking it this time promoting a new effort to bring back the moabird
A truly giant 12 foot flightless bird that roamed the island of new zealand until it was hunted to extinction by maori settlers
600 years ago.
That's right, we're gonna bring... can you imagine the drumsticks on that?
I'm actually excited for this one because this animal's edible. They bring back a giant bird. Think of it.
Think of the size of this bad boy. You're gonna need an entirely
unprecedented smoker set up to cook this thing. I think there's a lot of people in China that would argue the direwolf is also
That's right, oh big dog Jackson says the project to go extinct the moa is a dream more important than any work
He has done in moot now listen here Jackson. I
Don't care if you bring back the moa bird dinosaurs
Whatever nothing will be greater than your work on Lord of the Rings
a bird, dinosaurs, whatever. Nothing will be greater than your work on Lord of the Rings. The only way it could be better is if you gave us the two hour Tom Bombadil sing-along
that we all deserve. Anyway, he has joined a number of international investors, including
George R.R. Martin, hack, Tom Brady, the quarterback, Tiger Woods and Paris Elton the brain trust the brain trust to make the next colossal experiment
Possible and George RR Martin is a hack
I've never read his books and I don't intend to and I have no problem declaring him as such without any
Information on his product. That's right. I don't need to know
I don't need to know I call it't need to know. I call it like I see it. Calling my shots Babe Ruth style.
The reintroduction of the moa would be a step above the return of the dire wolves DNA testing shows that much
But the much smaller South American
Tynamu bird is the moa's closest living relative
Not a more obvious species like the Kiwi or Emu to go from a 17 inch tall Tynamu
To a 12 foot behemoth like the moa would be an impressive success
That would be that's a that's a stark difference
From something that you could pick up and carry to something that could very easily
Stomp you into the ground
Genetics are still quibbling to this day over the dire wolf project and whether or not the wolves represent true dire wolves or a mere
facsimile I
mean true direwolves are a mere facsimile. I mean, personally I'm in the facsimile camp, but,
you know, it's still cool. I'm all for large, cool-looking animals. Colossal is the first
organization to use new CRISPR tech, short for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short
Palindromic Repeats, to edit DNA with precision and create a new
animal from an existing genetic cousin, the gray wolf. But of course we've seen
that interview where the guy says, you know, the guy who works on and with
CRISPR says, people think of this as a scalpel but it's not a scalpel. It's a
chainsaw. We're just going in and we're hacking things away. You know, like that
junk DNA. Junk DNA. More, you know, we don't know what it does so we're just going in and we're hacking things away. You know, like that junk DNA.
Junk DNA.
More, you know, we don't know what it does so we're just going to assume it does nothing.
Oh yeah, we don't need this anymore.
Just get rid of it.
The method circumvents traditional cloning and it leaves scientists questioning how to
categorize animals born through the process.
Some critics question the ethics of reintroducing lost species.
However, there is also a large
contingent of scientists and journalists within elitist circles that are clearly indignant
over Colossal's tech-bro background.
In other words, they doth protest too much and it may be because they don't think people
outside of their academic clubs should be allowed to break new scientific ground.
Now there's a debate on whether you should reintroduce lost species.
Once again, did they not watch Jurassic Park?
Did they not see this?
Or did they see it and go, yeah, that looks great.
I'ma do that.
Spared no expense.
I hope those dire wolves don't get released into the wild.
Grey wolves are already killing machines in the forest.
They wept out my state's reindeer population now every time I've seen
people talk about reintroduction of wolves and things it's always from this
very I don't know leftist green mindset without any consideration of how this
will impact the actual people now oh it's going to end up it's going to do
great things for the environment,
and then cattle ranchers end up with this problem that they can't handle, or something along those lines.
And that's sad, because reindeer are very...
We went to a reindeer farm one time, and the reindeer were very, very sweet, and very, very soft.
So I have a soft spot for cute cuddly animals. Now
I'm sure wild reindeer are not as friendly, however, as someone who has had
a nice experience with the reindeer I feel for them. Knights of the Storm, Jason
Barker. Some of the animals are pretty complete, but some are pure extrapolation.
Maybe that's that's where the beaversaurus came from. It got loose.
We're already feeling the effects of this.
The animosity is similar to that shown by critics of Elon Musk's SpaceX, like leftist astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson.
Neil deGrasse Tyson is such a monumental dork.
Such an unlikable cretin everything I've ever seen from this man
makes him seem so
immensely tedious and
just frustrating
any I
Have a deep dislike of Neil deGrasse Tyson just because of who he is as a person
Everything as I've seen makes me dislike him.
Perhaps he's a very nice individual. Perhaps I don't,
I do my best to avoid learning about him because everything I've ever learned has
frustrated me to no end.
And it's at least nice to know that Elon Musk is frustrating him the same way he
frustrates me.
Perhaps all that money from government contracts is doing some good after all. Regardless of how one feels about Musk politically,
it is a fact that he has advanced rocket technology far beyond anything NASA has done in decades
and for less money. Yet traditional government funded scientific groups dismiss SpaceX's work
as negligible, revealing their ego and deep bias. Well, Neil deGrasse Tyson's ego is obvious,
the second you hear him speak.
Norm MacDonald absolutely clowned
Neil deGrasse Tyson one time on Twitter.
I can't recall the exact wording of it,
but Neil deGrasse goes on this long tweet about,
oh, the universe is unfeeling, yada yada, and Norm just
comes in and absolutely refutes him and dunks on him. Norm MacDonald was a truly very, very
intelligent man, but he was very humble. He was a genius playing an idiot. Neil deGrasse is an idiot
playing a genius. Assyrian Girl. Jackson's problem is that he knows he peaked over 20 years ago with Lord of the Rings. He's desperate to make himself relevant again.
He's never done anything nearly rivaling that since. I know that he did a bunch of acclaimed cult horror films, which I've never seen.
I believe they're mostly in kind of the slasher gross-out genre, which I don't go in for.
Angry Tiger's Den. The direwolves went extinct. The timber wolves outsmarted
them. That's why they went extinct. There's also the fact that large predators
require large amounts of food. You need to be able to get that. The larger your
mass, the more caloric, you know, calories you require to function. So if you're not able to get those, you're just
gonna die out. Is genetic editing a false form of de-extinction when compared to
cloning? Could cloning ever actually be used to successfully bring back extinct
animals like the moa? Only time will tell. Professional egos need to be removed
from the room before any objective discussion on the issue can be had. The fact
of the matter is genetic editing has captured
the public imagination.
That's a forefront of biotech.
Michael Crichton, of course, has been writing
or did write about this type of thing decades ago.
He was very prescient.
He was very intelligent.
He seemed to care more about science
than actually writing his books to some extent
He was obviously someone who was deeply invested in it and saw the dangers of it
He's he was desperately trying to warn people in science don't do this, please
Consider the ethical implications of it
Consider the ethical implications of it.
Tunnellord1337, we had a pack of wolves kill off 130 sheep indiscriminately. They didn't eat any of them. It turns out wolves just kill stuff for the fun of it.
They'll kill cattle and take one or two bites.
I did not know that. I knew cats would just kill for fun and for sport to practice hunting.
I didn't know wolves did that.
That is unfortunate. And again, as
someone who I deeply love animals, I enjoy them in basically all their forms.
The only thing I don't want near me is insects. Insects can be admired from afar,
but anything, whether it's snakes or lizards or wolves, tigers, bears. I enjoy seeing them. I appreciate them as a part of God's creation.
I find them endlessly fascinating. But I think, again, we need to be stewards. We need to take into consideration everything that comes with them before we go.
Bringing back dire wolves and unleashing them upon the plains of the United
States.
Well, that was our, you know, AI genetic editing segment.
I had some fun with it, and I hope I wasn't too unserious, but it's just, there comes
a time where you gotta laugh at things a little bit. And these are the type of things, despite their horrific potential outcomes,
I find the current reality of them somewhat funny.
So we're gonna take a quick break.
When we come back, we're gonna look at
what's going on with Donald Trump and his Christian base,
I guess. Let's uh... we'll be right back, folks.
Stay with us. So
So So
So So You're listening to the David Knight Show.

But he told me to get lost. Maybe one of you American suckers can buy me some at the david

As I said,
we're gonna look at what's going on with Donald Trump
and the faith base.
Freewheeling Trump veers off on tangents
at faith office luncheon
What a joke it is that Donald Trump preens around and tries to cater to
The Christian base that they're able to delude themselves into thinking he believes any of this
Huge waste of money probably at this luncheon as well.
It was the first White House faith office summit with business leaders, but that didn't
stop President Trump from using explicatives and charged language against his foes in a
room full of business leaders to contribute to faith-based charitable work.
Can't even keep himself from just cursing and swearing up and down as
he's dealing with these people. For nearly an hour Trump rambled about
multiple topics his administration has tackled so far ranging from tariffs to
transgender people in sports while veering into tangents about his previous
legal battles and first administration. Can't even, you can't stay on topic.
He spent little time, however, getting into the specifics of his newly established faith
office.
Trump touted recent actions he made limiting the participation of transgender women in
women's sports, arguing how only two genders are recognized in America.
We've restored the fundamental principle that God created two genders, male and female.
That was a tough one.
We're defending parents' rights, for the parents' rights have been taken away from We've restored the fundamental principle that God created two genders, male and female. That was a tough one.
We're defending parents' rights, for the parents' rights have been taken away from
them in school.
Perhaps you should work on getting the CDC to stop pushing vaccines on children.
Perhaps you should work on that too.
Crowd cheered at Trump's rhetoric, however transgender advocates have argued how notions
like that hurt the transgender community.
Boo hoo, boo hoo.
Oh no, not the transgender community.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defined sex as an individual's biological
status as male, female, or something else.
Sex is assigned at birth and associated with physical attributes such as anatomy and chromosomes. In his freewheeling speech Trump argued he was
centering American culture around faith. In his freewheeling speech heavily
criticizing Democrats as unfaithful. In his freewheeling speech, in his freewheeling
was this written by AI? AI seems to have a tendency to reuse specific turns of
phrase over and over again.
It was either written by AI or this person just doesn't check to see if they're overusing
something.
This is from ABC News, by the way.
And the reason they point out why, you know, sex is defined as physical attributes is because
they'll go in and say, well, we're not talking about that gender is how you
Intellectually how you mentally relate to the sex
Which means that gender doesn't exist. It's a made-up term
It has no real meaning because what you're born as is what you are how you relate to it is immaterial
Doesn't matter. The truth is the truth, whether you like it or not.
Whether you feel good about it or not.
I'll tell you, religion took a big hit because of the way they treated all of us, Trump said
of Democrats, and now we have a confident nation, an optimistic nation, we have one
nation under God, and we'll always keep that term.
We'll always keep that term.
We'll always pay some lip service to it.
You see the way he talks about it.
He doesn't have anything deeper to say.
He doesn't say, you know, we are a Christ-centered nation.
He doesn't say anything about that.
If we're going to keep that term, one nation under God, which God, he might specify, whichever,
you know, gets him the most votes.
And then of course when he's asked, what's your favorite book of the Bible? Oh, I like
all of it. Uh, it's-
Uh, I just couldn't pick.
I'll keep saying that term. I'll keep paying the minimum amount of lip service in order
to keep you people voting for me.
Oh, you know, Two Corinthians. Such a good book.
Trump also directly attacked former President Joe Biden, a devout Catholic.
Well... well...
Arguing without evidence that Biden wasn't faithful enough and sought to persecute religious leaders.
Without evidence.
Joe Biden...
a devout Catholic. Okay. Again, this is from ABC News, so they don't know anything about this topic.
They have no more of an idea of what a Christian or a Catholic is than they do what a man or a woman is.
Mm-hmm. I think one of the reasons we won so bad is that they really wanted to take God and religion
out of your lives. There was nobody to, you know, look up to. There was nobody. It was we were freewheeling and we
can't freewheel. We have to bring religion back into the country and we're starting to
do that, I think at a very high level. As president, I've ended the radical left war
on faith and we're once again protecting religious freedom instead of destroying it.
And God is once again welcome back into our public square. It's very important he added
Trump used profanity while attacking about talking about his indictments calling them bull
Another explicit language that had a speech in front of the faith-based group
This guy is such a clown
He can't even grift properly he can't even put on a facade in a convincing manner.
You think he could at least channel some of these televangelist preachers, these old style
ones, you know, like, oh man, I can't remember their names, the ones that get on, oh yes,
I sense it in the air, I sense it in the air, by golly, we're gonna have a donation tonight,
yes, oh.
You think he could at least pull something like that out of his hat, but he's such a
Clown he can't even bother
Trump lightly talked about his faith when reflecting on the one-year anniversary of the attempted assassination on him in Butler, Pennsylvania
Trump stated that he was saved by God to make the country great. I
Know I
Would prefer if
I know I
Would prefer if
You would turn your life over Donald and let him save your soul. That would be a more important thing one
One soul to the
Miss of a bullet as evidence of God when he should be able to pointed some fruit in his life but it's all oh look
at the warp speed vaccine that I pushed or I could go on but yeah again one soul
saved is more important than America being returned to superpower status that
would be a better thing mr. president there's only one year ago this week
that my time on Earth nearly ended.
And if you look at that, God was with me because that's something in theory I should not be
with you.
He said, I believe it that my life was saved by God to really make America great again.
Ha.
Ha.
How's that going?
On the campaign trail, the President spent time courting faith leaders throughout the
country, often refusing to soften his language in those venues as well.
Trump has previously even quipped about how Franklin Graham, the president of Samaritan's
purse and a Trump ally, would ask him to temper his cursing.
Mr. President, it's Franklin Graham and I just want to tell you I love what you do.
I love what you say.
I love your stories.
I think they're great and keep telling them, but they'd be even better if you wouldn't
use foul language.
The sycophantic way he's sucking up up I think they're great I think you're
great I think you're wonderful I think you're just the best please don't curse
please don't say the bad words mr. president you have to preface anything
you say to Trump with all that or else he's just going to attack and insult you
yeah it's just Trump told a campaign rally in October.
Franklin Graham doesn't bother to ask him if he believes the truth about Jesus Christ.
Franklin Graham doesn't seem to really care about the state of Donald Trump's soul.
That's so much more important than his use of foul language.
Does he know the good news?
so I thought about it and I said I'm going to try and I did try and I'm not
sure I'm not sure I'd make the emphasis quite as good. not sure if he'd make the
emphasis quite as good. what a rhetorician. his command of the English
language is baffling, startling. How could anyone
compete? SoloCat1980. Trump can't even quote one verse from the
scripture. He's shown that multiple times. Peso Novante, 1776. What about the wars,
the bombings, the killings, the maimings? That's right. very Christian of him to continue those things. very. KWD 68.
Trump's Bible verse. all of them. Trump never says the name of Jesus. that's
right. well because he wants to be worshipped instead. he likes the
adoration. he doesn't like the idea that there's someone more worthy of it.
Pezzavante 1776 The Wars are Trump's Biggest Sin.
That and the vaccine he pushed out.
Killing and maiming millions.
Christian producers exploit children in a homosexual household in new series.
It wasn't that long ago when the names Chip and Joanna Gaines conjured images of shiplap
walls, farmhouse sinks, and a squeaky clean down home Christian family just trying to
do life together while remodeling your grandmother's kitchen.
There rose to fame as the power couple behind Fixer Upper and HGTV, Juggernaut, where Chip
played the goofy contractor and Joanna played the stylish eye with a bible
tucked behind her reclaimed wood headboard. They cashed in on middle-america charm while
building a brand empire that now includes everything from coffee mugs to an entire network.
Now they are the executive producers of Back to the Frontier, a brand new HBO Max original
reality series. The same moral landfill that brought you Euphoria, Sexual Depravity, and the glorification of
everything your grandmother warned you about.
The premise of the show is to take three families and plop them into a recreated 1881 pioneer
experience for eight weeks.
No electricity, no cell phones, no toilet paper,
just faith, family, and of course, feelings.
I cannot stand modern TV or movies
because no doubt at some point someone in the movie
is going to have to sit down and talk about their feelings.
I don't care. I don't wanna to know get on with the cool stuff do something entertaining. This is supposed to be entertainment
Just this is beyond this is I'm not talking about the moral outrage of what's going on here yet
I'm simply voicing my complaints with modern
Storytelling and that everyone seems to want to sit down and have a therapy session. Oh
I've got to discuss how conflicted I am. No, go do something interesting. Stop putting this stuff in your movies. At least make the propaganda
entertaining. At least make it good. But underneath the prairie skirts and
corn cob stoves is a vile mockery of what's being sold because this isn't
about honoring history or finding peace in the simple life.
No, this is about social re-engineering.
It's about baptizing moral confusion in the waters of nostalgia and calling it good, clean,
fun.
Back to the Frontier features a homosexual couple with two adopted sons front and center.
Not in passing, not as a side note, they are one of the three core families and they are portrayed as indistinguishable from the rest, as if God never said a single
word about family, fatherhood, or the structure of a household. As if all that stuff in Romans
1 was just Paul having a bad day. Now, can't say anything about this. Can't make any comments.
Can't say what the Bible says.
That might impact the flow of money.
But here's where the show crosses from just tasteless into downright tyrannical, the children.
These two boys, already placed into an unnatural arrangement of perversion and debauchery in
real life, are now paraded across national television as visual proof that all families
are valid.
An idea so meaningless it might as well be a flavor of La Croix.
They are used, exploited, as emotional cudgels against anyone with the moral spine to say
this is not right.
They are filmed, scripted, smiled at, and made into mascots for the social experiment
no one voted for.
Do you see the game?
Take innocent children, place them in a context their creator never intended, call it love, and then dare the viewer to object because who could possibly criticize those sweet
little children just doing chores and suspenders. I know I've talked about this before, but
there's a book called After the Ball written in the late 80s, I believe it was, by two homosexuals.
One of them was a marketing executive.
And they said, if we really want to be able to integrate into society, if we really want people to get behind our movement, we've got to stop putting the perversion front and center. We've
got to stop with the hyper promiscuous gay sexual deviancy. We have to portray ourselves
as the guys next door. Oh, we're just like
you. We have a nice house. We're just friends. We're friendly. And that's when
things really started to shift. That's when they started to adopt this kind of
mannerism, where you started seeing it promoted more on TV as just, oh look,
aren't they just the quirky couple? Aren't they just so wonderful and nice? Wow they've got such a nice house. They've got such good
taste. This is when that really came in full force. People obviously internalized
it. Couldn't, you couldn't get people behind what the people knew the gay
agenda and movement to actually be in the 80s.
You had to remake their image. You had to reshape it and change it.
This isn't reality TV. This is reality distortion.
And this is more of that.
And the masterminds behind this facade are the beloved Christian couple Chip and Joanna.
Of course, the same ones who used to smile with a Bible in one hand and a sledgehammer in the other. They're not
passive bystanders here, they executive produced this, that means they approved
the script, signed off on the edits, and cashed the checks. They saw the footage,
they knew what they were platforming, and they did it anyway. With a rainbow-colored
promotional banner slapped across their logo like it's just another line of throw pillows at Target.
You can't prop up a counterfeit and call it conviction.
You can't redefine family, parade children through your ideological carnival and call
it representation.
You can't serve two masters.
And Chip and Joanna have made it crystal clear which ones they're bowing to now. That's right
The master of
Social pressure the master of money
You're not gonna make that money in Hollywood on TV if you're not willing to adopt the narrative
You're not willing to push what they tell you to push
Well, you know, this sounds like a good idea Chip and Joanna, but you know what?
We really think this needs some homosexual representation.
It'd be a shame.
We just can't green light it unless you do this.
It has to be more inclusive.
It has to represent the modern American ideal.
It's really disgusting.
Nights of the Storm. Chip and Joanna had a major falling out. They continued the show but did not live together.
I'm not sure if they got divorced or not, but the show was all BS.
Imagine that. A reality TV show where it's all fake.
And now it's fake and gay.
Why take a genre rooted in tradition and smuggle in the very ideologies that dismantle tradition?
Why call something a frontier experience when the only thing being pioneered is new levels
of moral surrender?
Why portray children as perfectly content in a broken household arrangement?
The only reason they appear happy is because they're too young to understand they've
been made pawns in a televised propaganda campaign.
The answer is simple because deception sells as the
modern Christian celebrity. They platform the culture, parade the children, collect
the applause, and shrug when asked if it violates the scripture. We could play the
trailer but I worry about a lot of these places get very very uptight with
copyright and if you dare to play their content they'll strike you down
they will come after you. It is again this is what they have worked very very
hard to be able to normalize. Oh look they're just a nice average couple
they're just like you and me. Shouldn't it wonderful? They've got two young boys.
It's horrifying. It's disgusting. Chip Gaines defends gay couple on new show, slams modern
American Christian culture. That's right, he's slamming modern American Christian culture. It's
just too hardcore. It's just too restrictive and judgmental. What an absurd premise.
What an absurd thing to say. Modern American Christian culture is so incredibly empty and
vapid and incapable of calling out sin. And it's basically indistinguishable from a self-help book.
The irony is, he is what's wrong with modern American Christian culture.
The irony is he is what's wrong with modern American Christian culture. You sir, Mr. Gaines
Mind if I call you Chip?
You Chip are the problem as Lance pointed out. You are the representation the avatar of modern American culture
Someone who wears the colors
But then throws a pride flag over top of it. That's right. I'm a Christian. I just
Don't adhere to anything the Bible says. I don't really care about it. It just feels nice to say. It gets me
some brownie points. You know, I get the brownie points of being a Christian, but then I also get the brownie points of not being one of those Christians. You know, those Christians. The ones that
will condemn and call out sin, the ones that will
actually stand for something. Because there's nothing more horrifying than a
Christian that will stand up for Christ, right? Stand up and say, I actually
believe the Bible, actually believe what it says. Christian reality TV star Chip
Gaines has defended his newest television series which features a same
sex couple saying it is consistent with the Christian commandment to love one another.
That's right. It's just about love, man. Hey, it's like about love and stuff.
Why not love God? If you love God, you will keep his commandments, right?
It's about love, man.
It's just all about love. Back to the Frontier,
a new series from executive producers Chip and Joanna Gaines, which premiered on a Thursday
on the couple's Magnolia Network, features a gay couple as one of three couples living
as homesteaders did in the 1800s. I don't think the gay couple would really want to
go back to the 1800s. I think the people of the 1800s might have some strong feelings
about two homosexuals raising young boys.
Living as the people did back in the 1800s except for any moral aspects of it.
Ah, right, of course. Yes, my bad.
Without access to running water or electricity,
without access to running water or electricity. Jason and Johanna Riggs appeared on the series along with their two children. Realtor.com reports Jim and Johanna Gaines, best known
for hosting the home improvement reality TV show Fixed Rapper, have been outspoken about
their Christian faith over the years. That's right, they're outspoken about it. They just
don't hold to any of its values. They'll use it to grift and take money from Christians. See?
Don't you love it? Don't you appreciate that there are still Christians on TV,
still people that share your values? You can give us your money. Chip Gaines
reacted to the negative reactions to his new show featuring a same-sex couple in
an ex-post published Sunday.
Talk, ask, questions, listen, maybe even learn. Too much to ask of modern American Christian culture. Judge first, understand later, slash never. It's a sad Sunday when non-believers have never been
confronted with hate or vitriol. They are introduced to modern American Christian,
Gaines wrote. It's a sad Sunday when non-believers have never been confronted
This guy seems kind of like an idiot. I'll be honest from the way he's structuring this sentence a
Little little dumb perhaps but uh
Sorry
Chip
But it's not loving to say yeah continue live in your sin
Go do what you want do as thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.
That's not loving.
It's loving to tell someone you are living outside
of what God wants for you.
This is sin and you shouldn't do it.
You should live according to his law.
You should repent of your sin and believe in Jesus Christ.
That's loving.
you should repent of your sin and believe in Jesus Christ. That's loving.
Cosigning their sin is
truly evil. It's tough love, but I'm reminded of the verse where Jesus said that he did not come to bring peace to the world, but a sword,
turning
brother against brother. I forget exactly what the relationships mentioned.
But it's a hard thing to confront someone about this, but ultimately a
loving thing. Yes. Gaines' response led to further interactions between him and
social media users, with one ex-user describing herself as,
extremely sad that the show features a same-sex couple gains reply to the post lamenting that Christians have certainly come out in full force
as if they do know
As if they do know, judge not, love one another. It's not difficult. That's right.
It's not difficult when you pull verses out of context, use them to talk about things they were never supposed to mean.
Use them to talk about things they were never supposed to mean. Well, like I keep saying, the loving thing to do to someone that's living in sin is to tell them
that that is not a good way to live. You need to change the way you live.
Yeah. Gaines' initial post deriding hate and vitriol from Christians prompted additional
responses from prominent public figures. Conservative Christian blogger Matt Walsh told Gaines,
maybe you should endeavor to
understand the basic moral teachings of your own alleged religion before you give lectures
to other people about their lack of understanding.
Matt Walsh is right there.
Joel Berry, managing editor of the satirical website The Babylon Bee, replied to Gaines
post by assuring him, you'll see no hate from me.
According to Berry, I'm just sad.
I can't let my kids watch your show now, since I'm trying to protect their eyes and hearts
from the lies of the world.
Lies you're now participating in.
I'm just curious as to, I mean, off topic a little bit,
but are kids really into these, you know,
home improvement shows?
Are kids excited to get off of school and come home
and watch Chip and Joanna Gaines?
Man, I must be so out of touch with a youth. Getting old.
After urging Gaines to filter out some of the online vitriol and consider talking to
taking to heart some of the substantive concerns and heartbreak from the Christians who make up your fan base,
Barry stressed, we should love the sinner. That doesn't mean we celebrate and promote the sin and participate in the multi-billion dollar industry dedicated to destroying the family. You were making a lot
of money, Mr. Gaines, a lot of money to undermine basic biblical values.
Gaines engaged, Barry maintaining, I sincerely appreciate the advice without taking some
of the thoughtful heartfelt encouraging constructive criticism to heart.
And I certainly will.
I sincerely appreciate the advice about taking things.
Gaines simply responded with a heart to another post from a pastor reclaiming that my job,
your job, our job is not to convict people of sin.
Because that's the Holy Spirit's job.
Adding by this, we this
will all know that you are my disciples when you love one another. Again, it's
you are not capable of convicting someone of sin. You are capable though of
telling someone this is sin. This is sin. It is again only God who can convict them of it, but you can call it out.
You can say it.
After news that Chip and Joanna Gaines attended a church whose pastor is opposed to same-sex
marriage first made headlines in 2016, Chip Gaines shared his belief that disagreement
is not the same thing as hate.
I mean, he's correct.
That's a simple fact of life. You can disagree with something and
not be hateful. Disagreeing with a lifestyle doesn't mean that you hate all
gay people, that you want to round them up, anything like that. Of course, the
homosexual, the LGBT movement, doesn't simply want acceptance. They want worship.
They want to be put on a pedestal.
If you disagree with them, you are not doing that and therefore you have to be silenced.
In a 2021 interview with the Christian Post, Joanna Gaines reacted to allegations that
the TV star and husband were anti-LGBTQ because they belong to a church whose pastor denounced
same-sex marriage by asserting, it's so far from who we are. The church they attend is Antioch Community Church in Waco, Texas.
In a statement posted to Facebook Saturday, the Rev. Franklin Graham of the Billigram
Evangelistic Association and the Charity Organization's Meritans' Purse reacted to
the news by declaring, if it is true, it is very disappointing.
very disappointing. Franklin Graham, once again with the very mild take. Franklin, it's very disappointing. Graham insisted that while we are to love people, we
should love them enough to tell them the truth of God's Word. But he's right. He's
right there. A good take from Franklin Graham. His Word is absolute truth. God
loves us. His design for marriage is between one man and one woman
promoting something that God defines as sin
as in itself sin.
Graham added.
Spot on there.
The American Family Association stared a statement
from its vice president, Ed Vitagliano,
in an ex-post published Friday.
This is sad and disappointing
because Chip and Joanna Gaines have been very influential in the evangelical community.
Moreover, in the past they have stood firm on the sanctity of marriage, regardless of the personal cost that has entailed, he said.
Not sure whether Gaines have reversed course,
but we are sure of this. Back to the Frontier promotes an unbiblical view of human sexuality, marriage, and family.
A view no Christian should embrace," Vittagliano
concluded. This is another reason why it's very important to be extremely careful who you look up
to as a role model, especially within Christianity. I see so many people that get extremely excited when they hear news of a certain celebrity or
politician or whoever like, oh they became a Christian and they immediately start pinning hopes on them and
looking to them like um, oh
my gosh, uh, the British guy
Russell, Russell Brand, Russell
They immediately start looking to him for truth. They immediately start looking to him as some kind of
authority figure where if his conversion is true, I hope it is. I haven't followed
up on it. I don't follow what Russell Brand is up to, but even if it is true
that means he's a new Christian. He's not someone that you should be looking to take advice from. If anything, if you are a more established Christian, it's someone
that you could give advice to. Someone that you might be able to help guide. But these people
immediately see this celebrity. And since they've already looked up to them in some sense, because
they have status, they immediately think, well, I should look up to them for my theology as well. And that's just
And I see people get very upset when it turns out that oh these people were just
They're paying lip service. They had no idea what they were really doing. They joined one of these mega churches that holds no real values
They're simply
promoting, you know self-help
And people get very upset and
disillusioned. Just, celebrities are not trustworthy. You can't put faith in them.
Just be careful with that. If you see a post about someone converting, pray for them, but don't look up to them.
Don't immediately start trusting what they say. Don't take it as gospel.
Just because we are called to forgive them for what they may have done, for what they may have done to undermine or
hurt faith or our beliefs or our ideology.
Doesn't mean they were immediately called to just accept everything they say.
Oh well, he says he's a Christian now.
She says she's a Christian now.
So obviously they can be trusted. Said to be.
We have to be wise as serpents. That's simple as doves. I don't see a lot of
wisdom sometimes. No truth in them. Many straight people don't like homosexual
agendas. My feelings matter too. Yeah. It's actually becoming less and less
popular. People are kind of getting fed up with the messaging. It's
been forced into the public eye so often and so heavy-handedly that a lot of
people who used to be in the camp of, ah whatever, just you know, live and let live,
have flipped on to the side of get it away from me. I don't want to, I don't
want to see you guys anymore
No truth in them truth divides speak truth and love let them cry. Yeah
will be Will be no be will be Kenobi
Just how TV was like back in the 50s to 70s when they didn't even show married couples in the same bed interesting
How times are changed so much in the last 40 years.
Yeah, things really accelerated at some point.
Nibiru2029, statistical fact, majority of children raised by gay couple choose a gay lifestyle as adults.
It's just...
That's one thing, you know, we can say
love the center and hate the center and all that, but in this particular case,
say love the sin and hate the sinner and all that but in this particular case there are also the matter of the children that are you know being put at
stake with this. Yes they're being. Another step beyond that. Yeah it's not that you
are simply just engaging in your own personal sin in your personal life you
are inflicting this on children and God thoroughly condemns people that harm children.
Wright Overture disagreeing with someone's lifestyle isn't the same as
demonstrating to them that all sin enslaves the one who practices it.
You're right. You're right. Wright Overture has some good comments about
theology. I agree with a lot of what he says. Not everything right, but I
appreciate that you will still come in here even when you disagree with some of the show.
Knights of the Storm. she was a dominant woman and Chip played a goofy guy that was submissive.
predictive programming from the start.
I cannot stand that archetype.
I cannot stand this continual, haha look, the dad's just an idiot who does whatever the
mom says, isn't it? Haha. It's funny look happy wife
Happy life. I
Am so entirely sick of it. I love my wife so much. I adore her. I cherish her and
I love making her happy, but if there's something that you know that is we disagree on
it's not simply that I'm going to roll
over and do what she says. We'll have a discussion about it if, you know, we feel
that, you know, you know, we make our points back and forth. It's ridiculous
just this, haha, look, this idiot guy needs to be controlled and told what to do
or else how would he get his pants on in the morning?
I have, even as a child, I noticed that and got sick of it.
It's just the father or men in general portrayed as these useless idiots. Unless they're gay, then they're
incredibly intelligent and have the best taste. But if they're a straight guy,
they're just an idiot that can barely dress himself and he needs the women in his life to tell him what to do.
Night of the Storm. My mom told me of a house in her area. They did. They pretend to do all the work, but they don't.
They shoot a few hours and then get general contracts to do it all. The show is fake.
Once again, just reality. There's nothing faker than reality TV. It's all just nonsense.
Defy Tyrant 1776, I see AIDS drugs commercial
showing two men kissing.
I go through 10 TVs a month.
I'm sorry to hear that, Defy Tyrants.
It's the way of things these days.
It's really funny to me that they're not explicitly allowed
to say, hey you're gay you need
the AIDS drugs, but they're allowed to do everything but that. You know there's no
just like happy loving families in the AIDS commercials. It's all people that
are very obviously homosexual. They know their market. They're not gonna be like
oh yes you the mother and father with the 2.5 children with the house in the
suburbs. It's like oh no here's two gay guys. Wonder why? Wonder why that is? The mother and father with the 2.5 children with the house in the suburbs
It's like oh no, here's here's two gay guys. Wonder why wonder why that is strange very strange
Nights of the storm. I wonder how many people bought houses after watching the show and thinking it's simple and wound up broke from a money pit
Yeah the whole
renovation
You know fixer-upper side of things is crazy.
It's really big on TikTok and social media platforms as well.
YouTube, every single one of these platforms has a surplus of content about, I bought this
old house, watch me fix it up.
Which again, probably like you're saying, I'm assuming a lot of these people are independently wealthy already
and are bringing in general contractors
to do work when the cameras aren't rolling.
Just everything, basically everything you see
on social media and media in general is a scam.
Karen Carpenter, 27, flippers paint
the historic beautiful woodwork white.
It makes me so mad.
You have, oh, I have gone on so many just rants and diatribes about how much I despise
modern architecture and modern design sensibilities.
People that cover up beautiful classic wood to paint it these disgusting bland colors
or just colors in general. Leave wood alone.
It's got a nice finish on it. It's got a nice stain. You don't need to paint it
some bland gray or white. I am also sick of these barn dominiums. These people
that are emulating these classic styles but in these cheap tacky ways. Oh look, I made it look kind of like a rustic
building, but I painted it white and put aluminum siding on it. Isn't it quaint? No, it's a hack job.
It's something that's going to stand out as tacky and a fad within the next few years. I despise it.
I hate these people and their insistence on emulating everything that they destroyed. Everything that was
good and beautiful is going to be papered and plastered and
painted over so that some idiot on TikTok can get a billion
views. And it makes me want to pull my hair out and scream.
Kwd 68 gay fatigue. Yeah, I think we're all a little bit fatigued of that at this point.
Nibiru 2029, without reality TV, Trump could never be president.
It has many crimes to answer for.
It has many, many crimes to answer for.
All right.
We're going to take a quick break, but we will continue with the Christian faith side of things
when we come back. Stay with us. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Wait a minute, where am I?
Sorry Jefferson, the scoundrels who put America on central bank fiat currency used our heads
on their coins as some sort of trophy.
Despicable.
This is outrageous. Washington! I spent my life fighting centralized power. Now the Federal
Reserve monopoly parades us around on their monopoly money. Tell me there's some good
news to all this. Well there is a coin they can't control. One that isn't backed by the
Fed, but backed by the FedUp, the all-new David
Night Show commemorative coin. Now, patriots can support a show that won't sell out with a limited
edition coin that's sure to sell out quickly. They say money talks, and this coin has something
worth listening to. The truth doesn't need inflation, only support. Fort. Decoding the mainstream propaganda.
It's the David Knight Show.
Using free speech to free minds.
It's the David Knight Show.
The seed in our homeland, boys, let it grow where all can see.
Feed it with our devotion, boys, call it the Liberty Tree.
It's a tall old tree and a strong old tree.
And we are the sons, yes we are the sons, the sons of liberty. The Liberty, it's your move.
You're listening to the David Knight show.
Welcome back, folks.
I hope I didn't go on too long in that last segment.
I have some strong feelings about modern architecture,
despite knowing nothing about architecture.
But sometimes it gets me a little worked up.
But this article by UD Sherman meet the organizations funding gender ideology in
Churches That's right. It's everywhere now. You can't escape it
Baylor University announced that we returning a sizable grant from the Eula May and John Baugh Foundation
after a public backlash.
They were not going to... they're more than willing to take the money, but once
people realize what was going on... uh-oh, gotta hand that back I guess.
The Foundation had granted the Christian University $643,401. That's such an odd number. $401 for academic research aimed at exploring inclusion
and belonging in the church with a particular focus on LGBTQIA plus individuals. You guys
really got to cut down on that initialism. I suppose though when you're all about inclusive
inclusivity someone comes along and says we got to add another letter or
number or symbol to this you just got to nod your head and go okay sure.
Individuals in congregational settings but Baylor University president Linda
Livingstone said in a statement last week that the university is rejecting the
grant in response to concern and confusion among its broader community of churches, partner
organizations, and supporters, meaning we're going to get more money from these other places.
It will jeopardize our funding.
A lot of the alumni aren't going to contribute if we accept this, and we get a lot more money
that way.
Perhaps if they were to up the numbers, make
them an offer they can't refuse. I'm only speculating here. I don't know enough about
Baylor, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was the calculus that was run. I don't think
they looked at the Bible and said, you know what, this is wrong. This is wicked. This
is sin. They looked at it and said, we're going to lose money.
Please be assured that Baylor's institutional beliefs and policies remain unchanged, Livingston
said. But you're more than willing to explore curriculum that would want to change them,
right?
Our commitment to our Christian mission and our historic Baptist identity continues to
guide our approach to academics, student life, and spiritual formation.
We affirm the biblical understanding of human sexuality as a gift from God, expressed through
purity and singleness and fidelity in marriage between a man and a woman.
Well, that's good.
At least they said that.
Baylor University is only one of the Christian institutions targeted by the Eulet Mae and
John Baugh Foundation.
Created in 1995 by the late Cisco founder and tycoon John Baugh, the foundation openly
targets Christian communities with grants aimed at injecting progressive ideals.
That's right, there's a big old hook in that dollar bill.
Oops, we got you.
We got you.
You want to keep getting this money?
Well, you're gonna have to start exploring these ideas.
Reviving the Great American Pastor.
This is from the American Reformer.
Returning to the prophetic voice of the pulpit.
And of course, he's not talking about, you know,
actually prophesying things like saying, you know,
on July 28th this year, something, you know,
a great storm will happen here or there.
He's talking about preaching the word of God.
Actually being willing to take a stance.
The moral conscience of a nation is shaped by the exhortation of the great men it produces.
It has long been the responsibility of these men to providentially guide the generation
towards the glorification of God in both personal and civic life.
To shepherd the
American people was to protect them from the entropic collapse of public morality while
aligning them towards a transcendent good. What made them great was not solely their commitment
to good theology or liturgy, but their fruit-bearing stewardship of their community. They had a deep
sense of responsibility to their nation and knew how integral their role was in producing godly statesmen and citizens.
The most powerful force in our republic is the force of political will. Someone will use that force,
so it is incumbent on Christians to seize and maintain it. It is this exact battleground that the elders of our generation
have surrendered.
That's one of the main issues with
libertarians. Not that, let me clarify before you get too mad at me, it's just, it's very hard to work
up the will to want to get into politics when your main goal is just, I want to be left
alone.
I want to leave people alone.
It's a lot more of a motivating force to say, well, I have an agenda and it needs to be enforced and I need the power
To do it. That's a lot easier for someone to gin up the will to
Get in there and stick in there
It's also just torturous for people of a more libertarian bent to want to deal with a bureaucracy
people of a more libertarian bent to want to deal with a bureaucracy to want to get in there and
Actually have to work through the channels that are available
Whereas these people with these more extreme
left-wing right-wing ideas
Who want to use the wheels of power to crush their enemies generally are more willing to endure.
Modernity condemns Christians who have the will to engage with the world
politically. We're taught to be peacemakers, to tread lightly and not cause
offense. This gentle and lowly approach demands the Christian subjugate his
convictions in pursuit of winsome and collaborative politics. In an era of
third-way Christianity it is simply uncouth to boldly campaign for a more
Christ-centered government.
This is one of the things where you always see people talk about like, well, you know,
abortion is just an unpopular issue. If you guys campaign on that, if you talk about it, if you say you want to ban abortion,
you're gonna lose. To me, I don't care.
I don't care if it's an unpopular issue. The murder of babies can't go on. It can't be sanctioned.
You can't talk about it. You'll lose here.
It's something that people are desperate to have. I don't care.
Doesn't matter. All these other issues are secondary to me.
One of these other things are less important.
What about the economy? Boohoo!
I don't care if it collapses, if we are able to ban abortion. That's something
I'll sacrifice. I don't care about the GDP, if it means we can get rid of baby
murder. It's important to have a hard line on things. Something that you won't cross.
What about this politician? He's great on everything else, but he doesn't
share our stance on abortion.
Well, that's my most important issue, so I don't care what else he does.
He's gonna make America great again. You just have to keep murdering babies to do it.
Not worth it. Not worth it.
Not worth it at all. The pastor who tries will quickly find themselves ousted
from polite society as an ideological leper, often by their own congregation.
The modern pastors lie to express political views within the boundaries of
the third way. Not left, not right, but in the middle and above. Ah yes, the enlightened centrist. This appeals to the rational mind
that gravitates towards moderate politics, perceiving the extremities as inherently wrong.
It strips us of personal responsibility for the actions of our government and the impacts
it has on our lives. We get a free pass to sit back in our self-righteousness
and know that we were not free one of the extremists. That's right. Isn't it wonderful? You get to sit in your ivory tower and go, oh yes, these extremists on either side. So ridiculous.
So silly. If only they could be like me and hold no cool principles or values. If only they could
sacrifice the things they truly believe in. They might be enlightened. Enlightened as I am.
After all, we are heaven-bound. Why should we care what happens in our temporal earthly
home? Because the ideology of the Third Way breeds apathy in the Church. It is particularly
pernicious. Long before the cancel culture of the 2010s,
pastors received fierce public pressure to alter the gospel to better suit the politics of the day.
In the face of such strong opposition, the moral courage of many an elder failed.
The goalposts steadily shifted from demanding Christian legislation from our representatives
to surrendering political power altogether.
And let me be clear, I'm for Christian legislation.
Not in the sense of mandating a religion, not in the sense of saying you must go to church, but legislation informed by a truly Christian worldview.
Even the founding fathers that weren't Christians were still influenced heavily by Christianity, and it clearly shows.
it clearly shows. Pastors no longer encourage civic action in support of a Christian nation, choosing instead
to relegate the responsibility of their flock to the gathering of vague cultural soft power.
If we are to win souls for Christ, the theory goes we have to present the Church in the
least demanding way possible.
Get them in the door with the less convicting parts of Christianity.
The rest will work itself out in time.
This gave rise to the mega-past pastor Andy Stanley types that advocate for creating churches
unchurched people love to attend. What's the point of getting someone through the door
if you're not going to tell them anything of value? Get them through the door to hang
out in a social club. It's going to be so much fun guys. We're going to hang out. We're
going to talk about sports. We're gonna eat pizza
The gospel nah that might convict somebody that might cause an issue
This year of being salt without saltiness was addressed 2,000 years ago. It doesn't work
Goals to make pagans comfortable in our church. We have lost what it means to be the church
The message of the gospel is always going to make people who don't believe it uncomfortable because The message of the gospel is always going to
make people who don't believe it uncomfortable because the message of the
gospel is that if you don't believe it you're going to hell. If you don't believe
the gospel you are unsaved. You'll be cast into outer darkness where there's weeping
and gnashing of teeth. That's an uncomfortable thing to hear. It's not
something that is gonna make someone go, haha, oh boy, yeah, I can't wait for that. If I'm wrong, I'm going to hell. That's
great. It's not a comfortable position for them. This approach to
faith and governance has produced empty pews, rotting fruit, and dead faith. The
soul of the nation is buckling under the pressure of an explicitly anti-Christian
government while our elders capitulate, whether by fear, apathy, or indecision the moral conscience
of the United States has been silenced and its place a new crop of pastors has sprung
up advocating for a gentle and lowly approach to civic responsibility.
Surrendering the institutions that our fathers built to appease a neo-pagan movement that
fundamentally hates the church. Fundamentally hates the church and
hates everything America was built on. Because since they hate the church and
the church was so heavily influential throughout America's history, they have
to tear everything down. They have to unmake everything. They have to remove it.
No truth in them. If you're not a pastor, you can say what you want. Church won't lose funding if its members are a little out of hand, right?
A little out of... You can go a little wild in the pews.
Unsurprising, we have lost on every imaginable issue over the past 80 years.
Our churches are more pagan, more managerial, more effeminate than what our grandparents inherited.
It truly is amazing to me. the effeminate thing is something that's
immediately noticeable in so many churches. just people have pointed out
that so many of the modern worship songs lyrics are basically just, oh boy, Jesus is my boyfriend.
You could replace any specific mention of Jesus with any random name and it
would work as a standard pop love song. Just, oh boy,
isn't he great? Isn't he wonderful? Doesn't he do these things for me?
And when you mention this, I see people in chat that say, oh,
but I really enjoy that
kind of music.
And if so, great.
You know, I don't want to dampen that.
I don't want to be like when King David's wife criticized him for dancing in front of
the arc.
I'm just saying, or what you're saying is that that is something that few men
really connect with. Yes, again, if you can, if you worship well to that, if it
truly touches you and you find it moving and meaningful, I don't, like Lance said,
want to take that from you. Simply pointing out that it is very difficult for me to go into church
and sing about a sloppy wet kiss. That is a lyric that is present in a worship song.
And the first time I heard it, I was literally stunned. Like, it stunlocked me. I was incapable
of movement or just rational thought for a moment. It was just incredible. I think I remember looking over at Lance and both of us
just like, what? I had heard mention of that lyric before but I thought it was a
joke. I thought people online were, you know, making a hyperbolic statement about
the kinds of lyrics that were present and I actually heard it I was like oh no it's real. KWD 68 John MacArthur passed away yesterday. Wow
well sorry to hear that for his family. John MacArthur had some good teaching
over the years in more recent times he was very Zionist, very pro-Israel in the sense of calling the
Palestinians Amalekites and saying, basically giving Israel carte blanche to wipe them all
out.
So potentially co-signing genocide, which was very sad to see. And it's possible that, you know, his faculties
were more stripped from him in his older years, that he wasn't fully there and
didn't fully understand the current situation. It's really a sad thing. There
are a lot of issues that I would disagree with him on but in the end he was I believe genuinely
trying to do God's work so I'm sorry to hear that and I I just again I hope that
people don't take and learn from what he said about the Israel-Palestine thing I
disagree with him strongly there, as does our dad.
He was one of the churches to close down and shut everything up for COVID at
first, but after a while he was also one of the first ones to realize that it was
a scam and reopen and tell others to reopen and come to church. So I don't
think he had great discernment about some issues, but I do believe he was trying.
Mm-hmm. And those are two specific times where our dad was heavily critical of him and was disappointed in him.
And especially the Israel-Palestine conflict.
But over the years, John MacArthur has given a lot of good
information, so I am sorry to hear that and I hope his family is at peace.
Unsurprisingly we have lost on every imaginable issue over the past 80 years.
Our churches are more pagan, more managerial, more effeminate than what our
grandparents inherited. The gravitational pull of egalitarianism has stripped away the distinctions of marriage,
child rearing, leadership, and pastoring.
Strategically seeking the third way only served to sap civic momentum from the church right
while poorly containing blow after blow from the implacable political left.
It allowed our enemies to chip away at the
Protestant underpinnings of society and weaponize our institutions against us.
There was no great debate or pitched battle to determine who gained cultural
superiority in the 20th century. We were the authors of our own destruction. We
became a church that is content to lose the battle on principle." He is right, the left is implacable, intractable. They don't move. They will
continue to push their agenda no matter what. And you don't win that battle by
saying, well, alright, um, we'll give you this and maybe we can have a little bit
of our side as well. They're just going to take everything.
They're going to stomp you into the ground and roll over your body.
You cannot negotiate with these people.
You don't get...
You won't get anywhere by saying,
I'll give you some sin.
I'll...
Well, what about this kind of abortion or that kind of abortion?
You just have to stand up and say no you have to be as dogmatic and
Unwavering as they are
The denigration of society is not a result of bad governance
But proof that Christianity is in the world not of it or having these political failures in Christian garb. We have
Convinced ourselves that the cultural current cannot be stopped not of it. Wrapping these political failures in Christian garb, we have convinced ourselves
that the cultural current cannot be stopped. The United States is simply destined to be
a pagan nation. Perhaps the most egregious example is the Southern Baptist Convention's
Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, ERLC, in a 2022 open letter notably signed by ERLC
President Brent Leatherwood. Representatives of Christian pro-life organizations across the country,
ostensibly anti-abortion vocalized their opposition to an abortion abolitionist bill in Louisiana
that had statewide support. These pro-life organizations not only passed the chance to
outlaw abortion in Louisiana, but they also actively campaigned against their own stated mission.
These are our champions. We don't need enemies.
Again, abortion is a hard line I refuse to cross. I don't care what else someone has to say.
I don't care if they are the most perfect libertarian politician,
the most perfect right-winger in any other sense,
if they're going to say, yeah, go ahead, murder kids.
Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter in the slightest. We're going to say, yeah go ahead murder kids. doesn't matter. doesn't
matter in the slightest. we're gonna make America great again. it's gonna have a
GDP like you've never seen. everyone will be millionaires. everyone will live the
perfect most comfortable life possible. we're just gonna have to keep killing
kids. sign me off. nope. I won't co-sign that. I won't support that man.
This theoretical platonic ideal of a libertarian. It doesn't have to be this
way and in fact it never was. The solution is simple. The return of the
great American pastor, Reverend Jonathan Mayhew, was described by John Adams as
the spark that ignited the American Revolution. An honor earned by his fiery and impassioned sermons in the early days of revolutionary fervor.
He was particularly concerned with the relationship between a government's divine mandate and
the responsibility to the people conceding that we are commanded by God to submit to
our rulers.
He further argues that when no such good end can be answered by submission, there remains
no argument or motive to enforce it.
If a government has set itself against the will of God, it is the moral responsibility
of the Church to stand as the bulwark against moral collapse.
To stay silent in the face of total depravity is to support it.
Those who play along with the great lie become a part of the lie itself.
There is no third way. If you're silent, you're complicit. You're
co-signing it by tacit acceptance. For a government to maintain the
legitimacy of God's divine mandate, it must legislate in a way that honors the
will of God. This ensures the citizenry retains their natural rights, orients
themselves towards the glorification of God, and aspires towards the building of
His Kingdom.
For a nation to govern in a God-fearing way, the Church must be the moral conscience of
the nation.
Pastors have a role in developing competent, godly men to lead.
This will not happen if pastors don't wade into the political issues that plague the
country.
As they say, courage is contagious.
In real way,
pastors must educate their congregations not only on what leadership looks like,
but also on what just political life should be. We know this to be true on a
fundamental level. William Perkins, the great Puritan, posits that the good man
of the family is a person in whom rests the private and proper government of the
whole household.
He goes so far as to say that a man who cannot properly govern the home should not be permitted
to govern the state.
I think that's simply a rational position to take.
If you are not able to properly manage and govern your own household, why would you be
entrusted with numerous households?
If the purpose of family leadership is the glorification of God,
it follows that the purpose of civic leadership is the same.
What is a nation if not a collective of individual families?
The modern American pastor can be great,
but only if they break from the fetters
of modern convention.
We could once again have a dominant Christian culture,
one that demands legislation that honors the Lord
and preserves the dignity of our society.
And again, I believe personally how I interpret this is not legislation that demands you attend
church, not an establishment of the church, not saying you will be Christian, but Christian
informed legislation. Legislation that does not
promote wickedness, that does not dishonor God.
The onus is on our leaders, none more important than our pastors, but this requires pastors to once again recognize the true scope of duty and
duty of their ministry. It requires them to be assertive.
Sermons must be preached with conviction and direction, shaping the political will of our
towns to align with biblical principles.
A Christian vision for social order, young men must be exhorted, mentored, and encouraged
to lead the next generation of women and children.
Our elders must understand that their legacy will not be judged by the number of converts
globally, but by the spiritual strength and tenacity of their own children and neighbors.
The jurisdiction of their ministry.
We must rediscover what it means to be a people who are invested in a future worth working towards.
The men who can lead us there will be great indeed. To conclude, let us all learn to be free
and be loyal, but let us not profess ourselves vassals to the lawless pleasure of any man on earth."
That was a quote from Jonathan Mayhew. Honor seeker. That is one of the
tenets of being an elder of the church. If he can't manage his home, he cannot
manage the household of God. Yes. Reminded of what Dad has said about Trump many
times is that he could never keep his oaths to his wives, oaths to his wives.
So why would you expect him to keep his oath to the Constitution?
Yes. He was a lying, cheating adulterer. What made you think he would stop being one when
he was elected to the presidency?
Well, move on to this.
Without proof Tucker Carlson accuses Israel of committing crimes in the US, claims Epstein
was Israeli agent without proof.
This is from all Israel news, by the way, just so you know.
There's no proof.
There's nothing.
You can't prove it.
Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson told an audience last Friday at the Turning Point
meeting in Florida that Jeffrey Epstein was most likely an Israeli Mossad agent turning
point in his American nonprofit organization that advocates for conservative politics on
high school, college, and university campuses.
They go on to clarify.
The real question is not was Jeffrey Epstein a weirdo who was abusing girls, Carlson stated.
The real question is why was he doing this on whose behalf and where did the money come
from?
A valid question.
I think the real answer is Jeffrey Epstein was working on behalf of Intel services, probably
not American, he stated.
We have every right to ask on whose behalf was he working?
Carlson went on to point the finger at Israel, as he has done quite frequently since the
start of the October 7, 2023 war, and launch launch of his own media program The Tucker Carlson Show.
Now, no one's allowed to say that the foreign government is Israel because we have been
somehow cowed into thinking that's naughty.
Carlson opined to loud cheers and clapping from the Turning Point audience.
There's nothing wrong with saying that.
There's nothing hateful about saying that, Carlson stated.
Carlson also claimed that the Israeli government was directly asked whether Epstein had been working as a Mossad agent while committing crimes on US soil and refused to answer.
Of course, that question has been asked to the government of Israel and their answer is, we're not going to tell you, Carlson claimed. He went on to say that the US financial support for Israel gives people the right to demand an answer.
Carlson even claimed that every single person in Washington DC shares his opinion that Epstein was a Mossad agent stating that none of them hate Israel. One thing I find...
That's why it is his opinion. You know it's a mainstream opinion if Tucker
Carlson is trying to get out in front of it. Yeah, he's not exactly out there
pushing anything that's too absurd or extreme. Nothing on the fringes. I mean, he's just limited hangout. He's going to only say this publicly once everyone is
already saying it.
Yeah. Also, the way they phrase this. Carlson also claimed that the Israeli government was
directly asked whether Epstein, they claimed, he claims, they were asked, they said no.
Are you going to debunk that claim? Are you going to give any information on whether that claim is true?
Are you just going to imply it through your wording?
In a recent episode of Show of Carlson spoke with Breaking Points host Sagar and Jeddy
about the abrupt reversal by Trump's administration officials, including Attorney General Pam
Bondi and FBI Director Cash Patel.
The two officials claimed earlier this year to have thousands of documents in their possession
related to the Epstein case Patel even promised
there'd be no cover-ups no missing documents and no stone left unturned
attorney general Pam Bondi appeared to confirm the existence of the Epstein
client list during a February interview with Fox News John Roberts who asked her
about the list she responded it's sitting on my desk right now to review
it's been a directive by President Trump I'm reviewing that that. Of course, we all know how that turned out.
The only explanation that I can think of, again, maybe you've got another, is that Intel
services at the very center of this story, US and Israeli, they're being protected,
he said.
That seems like the most obvious.
And Jetty appeared to agree with Carlson referring to a 2021 article on Buzzfeed about sex crimes
committed by CIA staffers. There have been multiple documented cases of
pedophilia inside the CIA perpetrated by CIA officers, Enchete said. There was a
Buzzfeed news piece years back where the CIA specifically did not want to
prosecute those individuals in federal court for fear they would reveal sources
and methods if they were pulled into open court. And they basically just made
it go away.
In his turning point speech, Carlson also stated,
"'No one has ever gotten to the bottom
of that Epstein backing and funding
because no one has ever tried.'"
Well, Carlson did not provide evidence for his claims,
either, this is another one of those things.
Source, excuse me, do you have a source for that?
Prove it.
Prove that Jeffrey Epstein,
who was surrounded by former, you know, Mossad families,
it was a Mossad intelligence operative. Why don't you give me some real hard proof?
No amount of proof is going to be enough for him.
It's not just all of the many, many Mossad connections or the fact that he, you know, got
these absurd positions as a billionaire because of them.
It's also like getting off of the rape charges because he's an intelligence officer.
Yeah.
Source, provide me with some proof. Why don't you?
Well, tell you what, all Israel. why don't you refute the claim?
Why don't you do some research and get back to me on whether or not the Israeli government actually
did what Carlson claims? Again, you're simply over here implying,
Tucker Carlson made these absurd claims. He absurdly claimed. The Israeli government was directly asked.
And then you leave it at that. You don't say, you don't clarify whether they were
or were not. You simply imply, we asked the Israeli government if they were
involved in sex trafficking and the rape of minors and they said no. So this is
patently absurd. They would have said yes if they had been.
This is such a weasely little way of writing. Just...
He claimed this.
Well, is it true? We're not going to address that right now. He claimed it though.
Oh boy, this is an interesting article. This is from the Daily Mail. Joe Rogan flips the God debate on its head with shocking theory that
we created him. Wow, you're really breaking some new ground there, aren't you, Copernicus?
Truly. Wow, what the great mind of
Joe Rogan. We created God, guys. It's like
he's a construct. Maybe he's like a tulpa, you know, like this psychic force
that we've all kind of coalesced together that since we've focused on it for so long.
The brilliant mind of Joe Rogan. Joe Rogan has come to a mind-bending conclusion about life.
Hearing that humanity has misinterpreted what reality is, and we're actually in the process
of creating God.
While interviewing computer scientist Roman Yampolitsky on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast,
the men debated the possibility that reality is a giant simulation and humans are building
a God-like supercomputer using artificial intelligence.
According to Rogan's theory, humanity has misinterpreted ancient prophecies regarding
the second coming of Jesus Christ and Judgment Day, saying the creation of this AI superintelligence
is the final chapter before our reality resets. Actually guys we're going to create a god-like
supercomputer. This whole idea of Jesus coming back well maybe it's real. Maybe we just completely
misinterpreted these ancient scrolls and texts. What it really means that we're going to give
birth to this Rogan explained. Ah yes of of course. That's what it means, Joe. You finally cracked the code.
We've had our top guys on it for so many years.
We've had these great thinkers throughout history.
We misinterpreted the Bible. It was talking about AI the entire time.
That's right. Thanks, Joe. Very cool.
This is why I cannot take Joe Rogan seriously. He puts forth these ludicrous,
absurd, obviously stupid ideas and goes, hey man, could be. He's like, could it Joe? Really?
Could it? Come on. Impulski, an author and researcher in AI safety, added to Rogan's
theory suggesting that reality is just an ongoing cycle of big bangs An explosion that kickstarted the universe starting and restarting life over and over again
It's just like a big
infinite loop man
During the episode released on July 3 Rogan added that he feared God is actually created by human beings creating this infinitely intelligent thing
That can essentially harness all of the available energy and power of the universe and create anything it wants. That's right it's just
this infinite endless cycle where you know humans evolve and then we create
this supremely powerful being and it resets everything and then we evolve
again man. This is just... Impolsky even contended that many of the religions
around the world have one thing in common. What they all agree on is that there is a super intelligence which created a fake world.
Wow.
They agree that there's this, you know, God.
All these religions think there's a God that created things.
Isn't that crazy?
Wow, Yampolsky.
What do all religions have in common?
I'm a God.
You really?
Again, who is this guy?
They all agree that there's a god.
I'm seeing, I'm noticing the similarities.
I'm seeing the patterns.
Who takes these people seriously?
In previous podcast episodes this year, Rogan has repeatedly warned that AI was just years
away from reaching godlike state as more tech companies pour resources into its development.
Well, thank you, Mr. Rogan.
Rogan asked Gampalski if the physical world we see was created by God than what existed
before this all-powerful being created the human race.
Ideas, just information, the computer scientist replied during the podcast.
Just God.
God was bored and it was like, let's make some animals that can think and solve problems.
And for what reason, Rogan countered.
That's when the podcast host theorized life was an ongoing simulation.
People had the idea of God's return to Earth backwards, claiming that people would summon
this powerful intelligence themselves through the creation of AI.
We've got it all backwards, man.
A theory that all life exists within a computer simulation has been debated for decades,
and it's even been entertained in blockbuster movies like The Matrix.
While Rogan suggested that deep fakes of Bigfoot, UFOs, and other impossible images could be proof we're living in a virtual reality,
scientists have argued that there is more basic evidence that this world is not real.
Melvin Vopsen, an associate professor in physics at the University of Portsmouth, has argued
that gravity may be a sign that we're all living in a virtual simulation.
According to Vopsen's new paper in AIP Advances, our universe is the ultimate computer and
gravity pull on Earth and in outer space is the computer trying to keep its vast amount
of data organized.
These people come up with more and more absurd theories and ways of explaining things to simply get around the fact that there's a god.
They really don't like coming to that conclusion.
Man, it looks like the universe has order and structure.
And again, it simply just moves the problem one level back. minded of, I believe it was Cricken Watson that discovered DNA and they saw this intricate
pattern that clearly had a design. It's like, this was made by an intelligence. It must
have been space aliens. It's like, ah, you were so close.
So close. Who made the space aliens? That's where... You're very clever, young man, but
it's space aliens all the way down.
As for who's running the simulation, Yampolsky explained that one possibility is life as we know it can simply be a replay of past events being examined by the future human race.
Ooh, fancy. That's right. We're all...
Was it a simulation for the original events? If this is a repeat of past events?
It doesn't explain anything! It just, again, moves it one level back. What if
this is just a simulation? Alright, what's outside the simulation?
Advanced humans simulating it. Alright, where did they come from? Well, that's
another simulation. Rogan then asked Impalski why an all-powerful AI would
even bother creating a reality for our consciousness to exist in asked Impalski why an all-powerful AI would even bother creating a reality for
our consciousness to exist in.
Impalski explained that it's impossible to know who is controlling his program.
Whether it's an alien intelligence, humans from the future, or an AI superintelligence
has already been built and is running these simulations by itself.
Therefore it's also impossible to know why people would be needed in the virtual world.
Adding that he and Rogan could have had the same interview thousands of times and never knew.
Joe Rogan has had the same interview thousands of times.
He has. A point for Mr. Yampolsky, I supposed.
Joe Rogan routinely has the exact same interview over and over and over.
The world is a simulation. Whoa! Have you ever tried DMT? Yeah, the essence. Is it
entertainment? Is it scientific experimentation? Is it marketing? Maybe somebody managed to control
them and are trying to figure out what Starbucks coffee sells best and they need to run an earth-sized
simulation to see what sells best. And Polsky explained. Ah yes, the infinite banality explanation for the creation of the universe.
Everything is about marketing.
The Starbucks copy origin.
Well I ascribe to the fact that this is actually a very complex REI marketing campaign.
We're simply being used as a way to diagnose what sells the best.
They have to know which tent is their best seller before they move forward.
Think about this decade.
We're about to invent intelligence in virtual worlds, god-like inventions.
We're here.
There's a good chance that's not just random," the researcher added, suggesting we're already
stuck in a computer simulation.
In any scenario, Rogan theorized that the end of the simulation was nearing as tech
giants get closer to creating the all-knowing intelligence, which has been foretold in many prophecies. That's right, foretold in many prophecies.
Such as the holy, the holy film Terminator.
Whether humanity is already locked in a simulation or we're on the road to creating a god-like
intelligence and a self-fulfilling prophecy, Rogan claimed that within 50 to 60 years,
there will one, there will be one one day.
Virtual simulation of this reality that's indistinguishable from reality.
I know I make fun of Joe Rogan and I talk about how I don't respect his intellectual capacity,
but do pray for him. Pray that he can actually find the truth. It's a very large platform,
and it would be nice for some people to get on there that are worth having around.
some people to get on there that are worth having around. it's truly amazing how far people go out of their way to simply avoid admitting there is a God.
what if it's just like this godlike supercomputer man? what if it's aliens
man? what if God created the universe in six days and then
rested? What if the reason things are, I don't know, the way they say appearing to
be a simulation is because this is the lowest level of reality. This reality is
technically less real than the spiritual world. The spiritual realm where God resides is the underlying
base layer of everything. And we are simply seeing that fact played out.
The physical world is the least real and the spiritual world is the true reality.
true reality. We're gonna take a quick break, folks. Again, I know I make fun and joke, but pray for Joe Rogan. He is not beyond hope. He might have some
ridiculous silly beliefs, but that does not mean that he cannot be saved. So yes, keep him in your prayers.
Stay with us.
We'll be right back. The The End The You're listening to the David Knight Show. and I'll see you next time. So You're listening to the David Knight Show. I'm sorry. You're listening to the David Knight Show.
As I said, we're going to take a look at what's going on with the economy in a little bit
of time we have left.
I'm sorry I left it so long, but these other issues I find more interesting and more immediate.
The economy is very vague and nebulous and there's so many outside forces and people that
interfere with it. it's difficult to say with any certainty what is going to
happen. got some comments. don't frag me bro. we are not humans seeking a
spiritual experience. we are spiritual beings dealing with a human existence.
oh and 61. Les Wexner was most likely one of Epstein's handlers. Wexner is
remarkably under scrutinized. He's a very
interesting individual. Don't frag me bro, Les Wexner owns Columbus, Ohio and has been linked
to one or two murders with obvious motive and nothing. He's protected because he's an
intelligence asset in connection to Mossad, CIA, and Israel. He, yesterday we talked about how his accountant that was going to be brought up before the
IRS was found murdered gangland style.
So convenient for Mr. Wexner, isn't it?
Trump's latest tariff salvo fuels economic uncertainty, experts say.
This is from CBS.
A flurry of tariff threats by President Trump by President Trump leaves US consumers and businesses in limbo instead
out of an August 1st
deadline to deploy the import duties against more than 50 countries around the world according to economists and trade
experts. Nobody knows whether these are threats or whether they will become policy. So it seems like everyone has become desensitized to them.
A Parthenon, EY Parthenon chief economist Gregory Daco
told CBS Money Watch.
Yeah, and this is part of the whole taco thing.
Trump always chickens out.
He makes these grand pronouncements,
these sweeping decrees.
We're gonna put 200% tariffs on this or that.
We're gonna put tariffs here, tariffs there.
And he backs away from them.
But it leaves everyone remarkably
uncertain. You don't know what you're going to be forced to pay for things. You can't
run a business if one day they put a 50% tariff on something, you buy it, and then your competitor
buys it tomorrow after the tariff has been removed. Mr. Trump on Saturday announced he's imposing 30% tariffs against Mexico and the 27 member
European Union.
What is it that we buy from Mexico exactly?
I'm not, again, this is not my wheelhouse.
This is not my area of expertise, but I can't imagine we're importing a tremendous amount
of things from there.
I know the automotive industry was heavily impacted with
threats of tariffs on Mexico because apparently a lot of components for cars
are made in Mexico and even if the final car is assembled here they ship the
components up. Yeah a lot of places get around it. Made in the USA. Well it was
assembled in the USA from parts shipped in from Mexico, China, and these
other places. And the 27-member European Union that followed moves to threaten tariffs ranging
from 20% to 50% on roughly two dozen countries, including key US trading partners such as
Brazil, Canada, Japan, and South Korea. Darn it. The waifu importation tax. The White House last week also said it plans to impose a 50% levy on copper imports by
August 1, raising concerns about higher costs for electronics, cars, and numerous other
products that use the metal.
A separate development illustrates the White House's willingness to use tariffs to accomplish
its aims beyond trade.
Mr. Trump is threatening sharply higher tariffs as he tries to tamp down conflict in Ukraine.
Again this goes to show that sanctions and these sorts of things are acts of
war. We talked about that before but it is an act of war to impose these kinds
of things. Sanctions and what have you. I believe it was of course Madeleine Albright when asked about the
sanctions we had imposed in the Middle East said well it killed 500,000 children was it worth it?
Yeah I think it was worth it. Yeah I think so. There's also the fact that you can't really impose
a tariff on a business. They're going to either pass that along to the consumer if they
can, or find some way around it, or go out of business. Either, again, the consumer
winds up paying more, so it's a tax on the consumer. They just simply remove
themselves from the market where they are being taxed. They'll go overseas.
They'll do business elsewhere. or they just crumble and fold.
And that's the danger for most of these smaller corporations, these companies that are trying to
do business. Another case of hitching trade policy to other foreign policy priorities, Mr. Trump said
last week that the US would slap a 50% tariff on goods from Brazil.
Next month, citing the criminal prosecution of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro,
which Mr. Trump called an international disgrace.
Trump administration has defended its aggressive use of tariffs as a way to ensure fair trade
for U.S. businesses, boost key domestic sectors, generate federal revenue, and advance other
policy priorities such as curbing fentanyl trafficking and authorized immigration from Canada and Mexico.
I'm still curious, do we have a huge illegal immigration problem from Canada?
Is that something we're really dealing with?
I know we- Probably like the fentanyl problem.
Though I wouldn't be surprised if there are people from other countries going to Canada to hop across the border though
They could just as easily use Mexico. Yeah, perhaps, you know, it's whatever climate you prefer. Ah, I'm more of a winter guy myself
I prefer the cooler environments. I think I'll take the Canadian route
but the main issue again is just
Uncertainty is not something you can deal
with for long in a business. You need to be able to know what's going to happen.
You need to be able to plan for the future.
kawd-68 economy dollar dropping 15% so far this year inflation with tariffs to
enhance it crash the economy. Golden Age! That's right it's the golden age baby donald trump is in
power patriots are in power trust the plan it's all going according to it well the plan is then
horrifying and terrible please stop get a new plan trump threatens tariffs targeting russia without
deal to end ukraine war in 50 days, CBS
News.
I don't think this is what's going to cause Russia to buckle.
I think they might continue the war despite the tariffs.
President Trump said Monday that the U.S. will impose 100% tariffs on countries that
do business with Russia.
There is no peace deal to end the war in Ukraine within 50 days. Unveiling his plan to implement secondary sanctions as his
frustration with President Vladimir Putin grows. That's right, if you do business
with Russia, we're gonna put sanctions on you. We're going to make it impossible
for you. Once again, America just swaggering and bullying across the globe.
Big announcement on Russia is more taco.
Trump always chickens out.
Taco.
Oil tumbles as Trump delays sanctions threat against Putin.
Oh, I'm really serious this time.
Oh, I'm gonna do it.
I'm really gonna do it.
Doesn't do it.
He's backing off, delaying again.
The big Monday announcement by President Trump.
Just the threat of more secondary tariffs on Russia, inventing a little more frustration
at no peace progress.
Trump severe tariffs on Russia, if no deal in 50 days.
Trump threatens to impose secondary tariffs on Russia.
Trump reiterates, very unhappy with Russia.
Trump made deal today to send weapons to Ukraine.
Trump it's all talk, then missile,
go into Kiev and kill.
Trump and Ukraine will take the military equipment
from NATO.
Trump suggests more dying in Ukraine
more than publicly known.
Trump, secondary tariffs, very powerful.
If this is it, the major announcement on Russia
that was planned, then we will say it could have been
a lot worse in terms of escalation,
such as ramping up more offensive weapons
deliveries to Kiev. But amid Trump perhaps poorly managing expectations
people will be asking, that was it? Even RT is chiming in with some light
mockery. Trump's big Russia announcement he threatens 100% secondary tariffs on
Russia and her trade partners if no deal on Ukraine within 50 days. Given markets
were expecting something more huge oil prices pushed lower on the news of another lengthy timeline.
No deal in 50 days.
And yes, there will be some more weapons sent to Ukraine, Trump stated, but they will come via NATO allies primarily.
And of course, again, this was one of his big promises.
He was going to end the war.
He was going to end the war in Ukraine. He was going to end the war. He was gonna end the war
in Ukraine. He was gonna end the war in Gaza. 24 hours. I'll make it happen.
I don't think we need to play the video. President Trump is going to announce
what a top DC war monger calls an aggressive transfer of offensive weapons
to Ukraine. Under the novel arrangement, European countries are supposedly going
to foot the bill. That's right. Isn't that
wonderful? We're outsourcing our warmongering now. That's great. Actually
we're a bit tired of continually having to fund the destabilization and
destruction of countries. I know we've just funded so many of the color
revolutions over the last century. Wouldn't you guys, wouldn't you be
willing to help with this? It's getting tiresome. We can't really afford this. If you guys want a color revolution,
you're going to have to fund it yourself. That's just the way things are nowadays. We're
a serious country. Trump economic advisor Hassett says tariffs to raise $3 trillion
in new revenue in next decade. Isn't that wonderful? Three trillion in revenue for
the federal government. Isn't that lovely? Three trillion in revenue by making
things more expensive for the American people. By forcing them to pay more for
things. The federal government is going to generate three trillion in revenue.
This would have been seen as a
horrifying thing in the past. The founding fathers would be pulling their
hair out. What are you doing? The administration is bragging about how
much they're taxing us. Well, the... again, the economy, it's up in the air Trump is threatening sanctions
Not delivering putting on some sanctions upping the number of sanctions reducing the level of sanctions. He's all over the place
No one knows what to do or say. No one knows how serious he is
They just know he always chickens out on these types of
things. We're almost out of time. We've got about a minute and a half, so I won't go through any
