As the clock strikes 13, it's Wednesday, the 27th of March, Year of Our Lord 2024. Well, today we're going to begin by looking at this bridge collapse. Was it an act of terrorism? Was it subversion? Well, we've got a lot of information about it that has surfaced so far we're going to take a look at that but let's understand that the real threat to us which nobody is talking about now everybody's got their conspiracy theories about the bridge what nobody is talking about is this pandemic treaty that is going up for a vote today today in the next couple of days of course uh it's just driven all of that discussion if people

even talked about it and most of the big conservative media is only caring about what trump does uh it's completely driven that off of the agenda so we're going to talk about that as well and speaking of trump he now has a new bible that he's going to give you it's got the constitution the bill of rights and and the King James Bible. Three things that Trump evidently has never read. Yeah, we'll talk about that. Stay with us. We'll be right back. Well, it truly is.

We mentioned it happened. The news was starting to break during the show yesterday, and Travis mentioned it. There really wasn't much information. And then through the day, we saw some very strange things. Here's a picture of the ship, and they did it as a time lapse so they sped everything up now uh look at this it's sliding around drifting around and then moving forward and hitting the bridge right and um you see a lot of um you know the power is back on at that point you see the power is going on and off and on and off. This is highly sped up.

But you also see a lot of black smoke coming out of that. They got the engines back on. So what is going on with that? Well, we're going to take a look at it in depth. But I think one of the best pieces out there that I saw in terms of analysis was something from a YouTube channel called what's going on in shipping and the going doesn't have a G in it. And if you want to go back and look at some of this stuff, the guy's name is Sal, uh, Mercaguliano he's somebody who has retired merchant Marine.

He spent years in this he's a historian, but he also teaches a maritime history. And what he did was, and I'm going to show this to you it's a fairly long video even though i've cut some things out of it uh what he shows you is the gps path of that ship and then in split screen he shows you the actual pictures there because you know when we speed this up it can be a little distortion there and what is happening and there are still some questions what caused it to lose power why would the power come back go off why would it come back on i think that's one of the key questions and there could be some foul play in that there's also questions as to why a second anchor was not deployed they deployed one anchor there's two anchors that are there but there's also some

misinformation that has been put out from some of these things as as uh that there was not a pilot on board actually there was uh it's very much like if you've ever read uh mark twain's life in the mississippi really entertaining as most Mark Twain stuff is, but especially that, because it was kind of, you know, reflecting on, on life, but also on his particular experiences as riverboat pilot on the Mississippi.

In those days, the conditions would fluctuate considerably due to the level of the Mississippi or something has happened with the sandbar trees that have fallen in that type of thing. So they would have pilots that would be, um, you would go to a particular point and, um, you would bring on a pilot to navigate through these areas. And he would take you from point a to point B, then get off and somebody else would take the next segment. And then he would go, uh, for the next ship that's coming, going the opposite direction. He would get on that ship and he would go from point B back to point A

because he knew that area so well. And you needed to know that area really well. And so when you have these people navigating inside of ports, they're steered around by tugboats. And then when they go through these channels, they have pilots who guide them. And as I mentioned yesterday, when this happened, I said, the skyway bridge is not, but it was a sunshine skyway bridge between Tampa and St.

Petersburg, a very, very long bridge. And it had an amazingly high section. Truly, that's why they called it skyway and just went. And anyway, they had a channel going through there. And shortly after I left Tampa in 1980, I was not there when it happened, but they had a channel going through there and shortly after i left tampa in 1980 i was not there when it happened but they had a ship that crashed into one of the pylons just like this it was under control of a um of one of the local harbor pilots uh as they always would be, somebody who does that all the time. There was a tremendous storm happening at the time. The real error was going through there and not waiting for the storm

to blow over at the time. They ruled that the storm had blown the ship into the pylon, that it was not the pilot's fault but um it had um it had these pylons are buttressed it hit the first one didn't have any effect on it but then it had a second one that was not as protected taking out that second pylon caused the entire overhead thing to collapse and they had a lot of cars a truck a bus full of people go into they had a lot of cars, a truck, a bus full of people go into the river. A lot of people died. And we'll talk about that coming up. What did it take to get that corrected? But then, you know, you can correct that type of thing. And as a matter of

fact, this particular ship has been involved in a similar accident in Antwerp, Belgium, back in 2016, I think. We'll get to that. But this is what the guy, Sal Mercogliano, his YouTube channel, What's Going On in Shipping, this is what he shows us in terms of the available information as of late yesterday. Oh, I'm sorry.

That's the other one. What's going on with shipping? So a quick update here. I want to show you the video of the track line of MV Dolly as it leaves the berth here at the Port of Baltimore. So here is Dolly. there will be two tugs, Bridget and Eric McAllister, that are gonna come in and take the ship off the berth.

You see its track line here as it heads out. Dolly's coming down her track just as you expect. The two tugs leave her, not unusual, we see that happen all the time. She is in the channel. Now, this channel can be used for two ships at a time, but they usually like to just do one. And so you see one ship. She is a little bit on the left side of the lane, just a little bit off center, but that is fine. She's doing about six, speeding up here to about seven, eight knots. I'm going to go ahead and readjust.

So here is the key bridge right here, and this is where I want to kind of get this coincided with what's going on. All right, on the left is marine traffic. On the right is the live feed that we have from the Port of Baltimore. Okay, I tried to sync this up the best I could. The videos are not running at exactly the same moment but this is the moment that we see dolly lose power she goes dark in the video up here she is out without power at this time and that's the question we have to ask what caused that right here at about 8.5 knots and she's heading for the key bridge at this moment.

And again, one of the things that we're not sure about here is what is causing the power outage on the vessel. Is it mechanical? Is it computer? Is it fuel? We just don't know. But the ship goes completely dark. And let me be clear. The worst feeling ever on a ship is to lose power. Everything gets quiet. Silence is the enemy on a ship is to lose power everything gets quiet silence is the enemy on a ship that means everything has gone wrong so here we see the vessel coming out it just come

from the secret terminal which you can see right behind it uh secret she was actually up on this berth right over here where the cranes are uh just underneath the center part of the bridge uh and she's you can see there's still trains up there, but at this point, they're getting out the emergency warning to stop the cars at this point, and she is coming down the channel. Now, I got this playing at basically real time. We're going to go ahead and speed it up here in a minute, but I want to get to the point where she will get her power back on, and as she progresses, we'll see the lights come back on with the vessel. Now, at this moment, there's a big question about whether or not the

ship has rudder control. This is the key thing. If the ship does not have rudder control, then the ship is careening out of control. There's nothing you can do. The ship would have an anchor ready to drop. You would have a crew up on the bow, but the question is, is that crew still there? Are they standing by? They should be in place until they get out past the bridge and the channel. There is a Maryland Bay pilot on board advising the ship's master right at this moment. Hopefully they're calling out issues on channel 16 and the other hailing channels that they'll be using to tell them to be aware. They will have portable radio so they don't need the ship's radio. Here you see the power come back on the vessel.

So now Dolly has power back on. She is starting to drift. If you look at marine traffic here, she is starting to drift toward the south side of the channel at this point. So she's beginning her movement. Remember, this is a vessel that is about 100,000 tons. So a substantial-sized vessel. It will have a lot of momentum on her. And if they had lost power, then the rudder would not be answering.

So wherever that rudder was, even if the rudder was dead center, it's not providing any maneuverability because you have torque from the propeller. The propeller is going to want to twist the ship. Now we're seeing smoke belching out of the ship. Here's the smoke coming out. What we tend to think is this is the ship starting to back down. They will try to get way off the ship and that's going to be an indication we're going to see here if the ship begins to slow down. So I got it running now. It's a little bit off sync. It's just not quite timed in exactly. We're lagging behind on the video but what you do see is the ship is starting

to lose way. It's starting to come off. It's down to 7.6 knots. Now the ship is coming out of the channel at this point and still has a lot of way on. That could be just a little bit of loss there by maneuverability. We know she drops her port anchor. We just don't know when she drops the port anchor. And again, more black smoke coming out of the vessel. This is either an engine failure or the issue of the ship trying to back down.

And then you have the strike up against the bridge. That's where you see the speed come off to about 1.5 knots there. And on the video, you will see the ship, there'll be a big splash in front of the vessel as it hits that piling. And you'll see the collapse of the pier. You're still seeing black smoke emanating from the vessel at this point.

The ship has basically come now to a full stop at this point on terms of its maneuverability. It's still showing a little bit of way on because of the GPS. It just takes a while for AIS and GPS to get in sync with that. And this is the moment of impact that we will see here about 1.28 in the morning Eastern Standard Time, four hour difference between UTC. See a big splash there as the pylons hit, and then you have the bridge collapse. So that gives you a kind of a play-by-play there on marine traffic as it goes on. Happiness. We all know what it feels like, but sometimes it doesn't come easy. I'm Garvey Bailey, the host of Happy Enough, a new podcast from The Globe and Mail about our pursuit of happiness.

We know people want to live more fulfilling and positive lives. But how do we actually do that? Is there a happiness code to crack? From our relationship with technology to whether money can really buy you happiness, we'll hear from both real people and experts to demystify this thing we're all searching for and hopefully find ways to be happy enough. You can find Happy Enough wherever you listen to podcasts. At BetMGM, Ontario's best casino action is just a click away. We'll be right back. Ontario only. Please play responsibly.

And I think one of the most interesting things about it was when you look at the aerial view of the GPS stuff in the map, it presents a very different picture than that time-lapse thing. And the time-lapse thing, picture than that time lapse and the time lapse thing it's like screening around and everything and it looks like it's being radically maneuvered because it's highly sped up and all the rest of stuff but as you look at it unfold in almost real time you see that it begins to drift and go sideways and kind of maintains that and you also

see that as they get power back they're doing everything they can to try to stop its forward momentum but as he pointed out it's got a hundred thousand tons we're talking about 200 million pounds i don't know how to get my head around that do you it's pretty amazing and yet you know you've got for sensational purposes to get eyeballs and all the rest of the stuff, we've had a lot of people talking about terrorism. And I'm not saying that we can rule that out immediately. I think that's one of the things that got people suspicious. You know, immediately when you have something happen, they go, oh, that's the Iranians. And I know exactly which Iranians did that.

Oh, that's obviously nonsense, right? But it's also equally nonsense to say immediately, well, this wasn't a terrorist event. Pretty close to being nonsense. And yet, the people who saw that, who were talking to them in real time, as soon as the power goes off,

you heard them say that, you could see the cars that were going over ahead. And they radioed in, and they had about five minutes to stop cars and get them off of the bridge and so the people who fell in uh who died were people who were working on the bridge at the time filling potholes a road crew that was there working late at night but they didn't have any cars go into the um and you know off the bridge like they did with the sunshine skyway between

tampa and st petersburg so you know they were in contact with these people as you saw this happening over a five to seven minute period uh and so it isn't like they're immediately saying well this thing came in crash well don't worry it's nothing about it they were in contact with these people over this period of time they knew in real time what was going on so that may be one of the reasons why they said ruled out a terrorist event but then the other question that we don't have an answer to yet and that'll be the one to pay attention to was what happened to the power loss as you heard him say was it mechanical was it was it the computer because everything is computerized it would be possible for somebody to hack into this thing and turn off the power so we don't know about that yet

why that went off why it went back on uh but that would be one of the key things that's what made everything literally go sideways uh so um yeah we don't know for sure that exactly what happened with this, but I thought that was a very enlightening perspective to see it in real time, to see it from the position of the thing as it gradually goes off course from an aerial point of view. So I think the aerial point of view and being in real time i think gives you a very different picture than a lot of these others um flynn immediately goes on alex uh and so this is a black swan event well yeah okay it is a black swan event what is a black swan event is that a terrorist attack no a black swan event a black swan is something that you don't expect, right? You expect swans to be white. When one comes out that's black, it's like, well, didn't expect that. And so that's really what they mean is that it's unexpected.

It's also the fact that it has a lot of consequences that are not immediately apparent. And there are a lot of consequences that are going to be built up with this. This is going to be a major, major disruption. And we're going to talk about the severe consequences of this. That's the big story here. But again, we don't want to get so caught up in this. So we miss the story of what is going to be done to us with a WHO in control of locking us down with a pandemic treaty. Folks, that's the big news. And that's what nobody is talking about. But let's talk about this failing infrastructure.

And again, we have a very, very complicated infrastructure. You've got a lot of food. You've got a lot of fuel that comes through there. You've got a lot of cars and other things. And it's a big issue for a lot of companies as well as the city of baltimore a massive part of their revenue comes from that that's you know it's going to shut down that entire port as a matter of fact let's look at how it's going to shut down the entire port because he's got a little addenda here and he says let's take a

look at what's happening this you've actually got ships that are now trapped inside this port and can't get out until that debris is removed. How long is that going to take? This is current marine traffic right now. You'll see vessels that are on scene here, Coast Guard cutters, tugs, and barges. And if you zoom out here a little bit, I'll show you the impact this is going to have. So that's the Patasco River. That's the river heading up into the region.

All the ships that are now in Baltimore are trapped in Baltimore. They cannot get out. That means that vessels that are in there are going to have to wait for the key bridge to be cleared. And obviously that's going to be a long prospect because of the casualties associated with it. You have vessels just below the Bay Bridge here waiting to get up into Baltimore. A lot of these are container and bulk carriers waiting to get in, so they're going to have to either divert or go somewhere else, and if you go down the bay even further, there is a larger anchorage

right at the very southern end of the bay for ships heading up into that region. So this is a obviously developing situation. We're gonna keep monitoring it and let you know. Sorry for the kind of haphazard issue here, but it's hard to coordinate this a little bit and get these two systems working right. I'll work on a better video that will kind of more seamlessly put it together, but this is just some quick dirty news right now as we go forward. Stay tuned to what's going on

with shipping. Follow me on X at Mercogliano S for any further information. And I think he did an excellent job, quite frankly. I mean, he put that together pretty quickly and a lot of information there. And of course, everybody's making a great deal out of the fact that the crew is Indian and maybe they're not trained well or whatever. Well, maybe they aren't because they've had other issues with this. The captain is Ukrainian. Oh, well, maybe it's a terrorist event.

Although I don't think that is what is happening with it, quite frankly. But there are a lot of consequences that are going to be coming out of this and you know from the very beginning when i talked to um uh when we talk about uh preparing civil defense manual.com you know jack lawson uh you know the very first time i interviewed him years and years ago he, you look at how complicated our infrastructure is. You break it at one point, well, look at what's going to happen. And look at the massive destruction that Trump did to our economy that is still percolating through. Just look at commercial real estate, for example.

The consequences. It's like a slow-moving barge wreck, right? Trump barged into our economy, hit it square on. Commercial real estate is going to have knock-on effects of taking down banks and all the rest of this stuff, killing lots of businesses, destroying people's lives, essentially. And so there are consequences for these things that just keep rolling on and on. But as Jack Lawson said when we were talking about civil defense manual, he says, you look at any product that we got and you look at how many different legs of transportation there are there.

If you break one of those at any given point, it's going to have massive consequences that are going to percolate through the system. And so that's the point of having a civil defense manual so we make some preparations and things like that for our own uh for our own good this is going to have a have big economic consequences uh first of all the insurance industry and we've just seen in california the insurance industry has uh you've got state farm said, well, you know, there's been so many disasters in California. We're not going to underwrite insurance there. So for a lot of these areas, I don't know if it's all of California or just one area, but it is several hundred homes.

They just canceled their insurance. That is a tremendous problem, especially if people want to try to sell their home. You can't sell a home if you don't have any insurance and all the rest of these things. So the state government there has opened up an investigation as to why they're doing it. But they just may start, may be becoming insolvent. And when you look at this particular incident,

the ship has about $3 billion of reinsurance coverage over a $100 million retention. Chubb is the company that's reported to be the lead insurer on the bridge's property coverage, but it might recover the losses that are paid from the ship. So it's still early. It's very complicated. But when you look at the consequences of that, as big as that is, the federal government can just paper over that. It's just we give people trillions of dollars all the time. Who cares? Right.

But then there's a second consequence, and that is the disruption in the mid-Atlantic supply chains. I just showed you how there's a lot of ships that are trapped. Uh, there's a lot of them that are going to get, you know, go somewhere else. Uh, Bloomberg is reporting us automotive supply chain will be disrupted,

especially, uh, when you look at this, um, article, Travis, pull it up. There's a chart there of,

the car companies that are most effective. Mazda does tremendous amount of import through Baltimore. Number two is Mercedes, Subaru, others, Mitsubishi of North America, Volkswagen Group. You know, when you look at all of this, Biden's hatred of the automotive industry. Did Biden do this? He's probably licking his chops. They won't be able to buy any cars. I like that.

So anyway, then there's coal console energy shares plunged nearly 10 on this news because people realize they have a massive coal terminal there that is that feeds into um or that the csx trains are, are connected to. I think maybe for, um, for export, it may not be coming in. It may be going out. Also sugar, a major sugar refinery owned by American sugar refining warned that it's domino sugar,

a little stuff that you see on all the tables and all the restaurants, um, only has six to eight weeks of raw sugar supplies. And that's where they get their raw sugar supplies it looks like we are in for a bitter future doesn't it uh and of course we've also got a chocolate crisis that is um escalating uh in terms of raw materials for chocolate uh that's another story but yeah we things are with this complicated supply chain that we have now and it's created global insecurity it's just too complicated and it's breaking at all points baltimore is the 11th

largest port in the nation they got different ways of measuring this by some standards of measurement it's number nine others it's 10 or 11 but it it is a major major port uh it is the most inland port on the east coast it's connected to the i-95 highway network with no commercial vessels selling in or out of the port anytime soon this is catastrophic for port operations and could spark supply chain snarls in the mid Atlantic and the Northeast. There was a meme that was circulating yesterday afternoon. It was a picture of Michael Douglas from the movie falling down. If you remember that a guy who's just can't handle the pressure anymore.

And you know, the traffic jam, he gets out, start shooting people, whatever, but there's a closeup of his face and you know, the glasses are there kind of crooked and sweat on his face and the caption says when you realize that you know you're going to have to do detours for two more years or something it's not going to be two years folks it's going to be a lot longer than that some people have said four years when you go back and you look at what happened with the sunshine skyway bridge that happened in 1980 they didn't even begin construction on the new replacement bridge that's what they did they said well it's just too badly damaged

we're gonna you know do a replacement on and they still had it was a four lane uh bridge it knocked down um you know one side of it so what they did was they um they still had traffic going in both directions. They only had one lane going in each direction. But it took them three years to decide what they were going to build and where they were going to build it. So they began in 1983 after the bridge collapsed in 1980. And it took them another four years. The bridge did not open up until 1987. Seven years it took by the time they thought about it and built it out. Now, let me ask you, that was 40, 45 years ago. Do you think we're better

at building anything now, 40 to 45 years later, especially something that involves the government and massive infrastructure? I think we're a lot worse. I would be very surprised if this thing gets done in two years, let's say, I mean, because of the importance of this port and again, the sunshine skyway was a commuter bridge and it was just for cars that didn't have all the different things involved in it. Uh, that is involved in this in terms of shutting the port completely down but they've got an awful lot of debris to move out of the way ships to move out of the way

before they even get started on this so you know who's going to run this thing you know which one of the men wearing dresses in the biden administration is going to run which tranny is he going to put in charge maybe he he can get some pedophile BDM person who is going to run this thing for us. Or better yet, Pete Booty Gay. Oh, he's the man of the hour. Oh, you know, this guy is going to really fix our infrastructure in no time at all.

He's a whiz at this stuff, right? You look at the people who are in charge. Yeah, they can throw cash at people, but you know what? If you don't have somebody that you're going to, that's actually going to be able to organize this thing and keep this thing on track that money's not going to help anything it's just going to be thrown away into the wind which we have seen this administration do every administration over and over again so how long is it going to take to get this done we We don't know. So it was the 11th largest.

It was the 9th busiest port in the United States. About $80 billion worth of traffic last year, according to the Maryland government's website. But then again, looking at some of these conspiracy theories, because I know everybody wants to look at this, and there are plenty of attacks. It's not like we don't have things to be concerned about. And yet, people, they've talked about the pandemic treaty.

We've been there. We've done that. I don't really care about talking about that again. Oh, here's something we can talk about. If it bleeds, it leads. And let's throw in a terrorism thing there as well. So right after this happened, and again, you know, same criticism that people had of the government. Well, immediately the government comes out and says it's not terrorism.

Well, immediately other people came out and said it is terrorism. You can fall off the horse in two different directions. And if you jump into this stuff with a conclusion too quickly, and as I said, we still don't know what took the power out. That's the key thing. That's where the terrorism could have come in some kind of a cyber attack or something like that. But here's one example here. I'm not picking on her,

but Laura Logan says multiple Intel sources tell her Baltimore bridge collapse was absolutely brilliant strategic attack on U.S. critical infrastructure. Most likely cyber and our intel agencies know it. Well, again, we don't have any proof or just we have multiple sources. Well, you can always find somebody who's going to tell you something. And if you've got somebody that's inside the intelligence community, you're going to believe those sources. I wouldn't. I would take it with a grain of salt and a great deal of skepticism.

If I've got some information coming to me from somebody who works for the CIA or the NSA or the FBI or something like that. She said this now may be down for four to five years. I think, as I just said, I think that is very optimistic. The footage shows the cargo ship never got into the approach lane in the channel. You have to be in the channel before you get into that turn. Well, that's just simply not true. I just showed you that. It was in the channel.

She also said they should have had a harbor pilot to pilot the boat. They did not have a harbor pilot. They did. So in this, those two facts that she's got there are disputed. Quite, I don't think they're true at all. And so again, we have to be careful what we look at. The key question is the power. Going on and off, what happened with that and you can be sure there will be an investigation about that that's where they can

talk about it uh again the good news is that because this thing rolled out so slowly they were able to get the traffic stopped when the sunshine skyway happened as i said before there was six cars a truck and a bus they had 35 people die only one person who fell down because it's very very high um it was in a truck the guy in the truck survived his truck fell down and hit the um hit the ship and then went into the water he was able to get himself free and survived uh sued them and got quite a bit of money off of it actually uh but um you know again it was hard it was piloted by a local harbor pilot and still had a problem with the storm blowing into it and if you want to you know part of the story here is the fact that after they rebuilt that, and it was right before they were to have the grand reopening ceremony, they had another ship hit it.

But this time, they had built the protective base further out and stronger, and it didn't harm the bridge they went ahead and open it up but the ship itself sunk so part of this are perhaps short circuits that we do here in america right uh when they build roads they don't build them to last as long they'd much rather go back and fill potholes all the time which is what this crew was doing on the bridge that died. So the power loss was out on the thing for four minutes and 20 seconds before impact. And all through that time, the thing with 200 million pounds on board was drifting. That's a lot of inertia. And you get the power back on no matter how hard you hit it.

That's why you see all that black smoke there. You can't pull that back. The governor said, I have to say, I'm thankful for the folks who, once the warning came up and the notification came up that there was a mayday, who literally, by being able to stop cars from coming over the bridge, these people are heroes. They saved lives last night. There was an eight-man construction crew on the bridge at the time filling potholes, as I said.

Of those eight, two have been rescued from the water so far. One of those was admitted to the hospital. The other one, and it was pretty amazing, to fall from that height and into the frigid water was released without needing any treatment the other six have yet to be accounted for as a matter of fact the coast guard has called off any searches at this point saying we're presuming they're not alive they were thrown into the bay in an area that is 50 feet deep with a 46 degree temperature, they were probably buried under tons of steel. Based on the length of time that we've gone on with this search, the extensive search efforts that we've put into it,

with the water temperature, at this point, said the Coast Guard, we do not believe that we're going to find anyone alive. And so, as I said before, this is not the first time for this ship. They had hitting something. This also happened in 2016, the same ship in Belgium.

And so it looks like incompetence is what it looks like. The Antwerp Port Authority said the container ship Dali hit a quay July 11, 2016, as it tried to exit the North Sea container terminal. And again, as I pointed out, depending on it did not fall, their bridge did not fall down. And the Sunshine Skyway Bridge did not fall down after they rebuilt it to higher specifications uh ship's power apparently again went out prior to this incident and sisa is um looking at this they confirmed that the ship lost propulsion before hitting the bridge so again there may still be something that surfaces with that. It's still hard. Do you trust the government to tell you the truth?

Because the government, whenever there is an obvious cyber attack, will always attribute it to their enemy. And as I've said before, and I'll say again, Vault 7 was released. The guy who took it and showed it to the public, they just, within the last couple of months, sentenced him to 40 years in prison. Vault 7 shows that the intelligence community here in the United States, CIA, NSA, others, have a program that allows them to look as if they are Russia, Iran, China, you name it, anybody.

They can make it look like that's who they are. And yet, this is never really talked about. On mainstream media, you have people like Catherine Herridge, who was Fox News' intelligence liaison, just feeding information to people that the intelligence community wanted you to hear. And so she would come in, talk about how we've been hacked by this country or that country or whatever. But she would not talk about Vault 7.

Oh, well, we know that the Russians did this or that because, you know, you can tell from computer information and that the characters are different or something. I don't know what they presume to have, but it could all be hoaxed, whatever it is that they use to determine the fingerprint of somebody. And I remember when all that stuff happened and they were using that against Trump. I had both William Benny, the former global technical head of the NSA for decades who became a whistleblower concerned about them spying on Americans. And also had John McAfee on,

uh, and both of them, uh, said, uh, no, this is, they can make it look like anybody they went to.

And then we saw vault seven released after that, after that, but just common sense would tell you as, as John McAfee said, well, first of all, um, if it looks like it's from the russians that's probably a pretty good guarantee that it's not from the russians who in their right mind wouldn't try to disguise it make it look like there's somebody

else and they've got tools for that he said and that was before vault 7 was released so um sissa may be looking at this we don't know what's going to come out. I still would not say conclusively that we'll know once they have spoken because I don't trust them to tell the truth. I don't trust anybody in the government to tell the truth. Evidently, this ship was, as nautical parlance has it, not under command, meaning that it was at the mercy of the wind and the seas and of inertia and again i think you can best see that with the aerial gps recording that they have of its trajectory uh you can see exactly what happened i think when you look at the pictures of it at sea level especially when they're sped up

it's very distorting i don't think you get a true picture of it. The amount of energy that is embodied in a moving container ship, weighing over 110,000 tons, before they said 100, fully laden, is enormous. And fortifying a large bridge against that kind of impact is essentially beyond what material science is capable of. Well, they did it in Antwerp. They did it in the sunshine skyway maybe they just got lucky uh maybe we are cutting corners maybe we're not who knows but the consequences that are going to happen is going to probably spark food and car supply issues you got amazon you got federal express i'll have distribution hubs near

baltimore uh there's going to be as i mentioned before coal uh sugar a lot of other things that are uh people are looking at biden says that the government will pay the entire cost of rebuilding the baltimore bridge we're not leaving until the job's done. He may not survive that long, and he may not be in office that long, especially with this election here. But for him, it's just a matter of throwing paper at it, right? Or putting three more zeros on everything. But throwing cash at it isn't necessarily going to get the job done

because of the kinds of people that they have actually running the show and the Biden administration. We're going to be right back. Whether you're feeling like the blues or bluegrass, APS Radio has you covered. Check out a wide variety of channels

on our app at APSradio.com Thank you. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Well, welcome back. And I just want to say before we get any further into this, I want to begin with the bridge news because everybody wants to hear about that. But I just want to thank Marty, especially yesterday. It was so kind and generous of him. He gave us a coupon back at Christmas time, and we were so busy with everything we did.

We knew about it. It wasn't that we didn't use it, but it was this quarter, the things have been a bit low. But he gave us a coupon for matching donations. As you may know, if you saw this yesterday, we want to thank everybody who gave us donations yesterday and especially thank Marty. As a matter of fact, for the love of the road, put this on Subscribestar. He said, kudos to Marty on the quarterly coupon idea. Need to clone that guy a couple of times. Yes.

But you know, it is, it is very important and they can fill in the gaps. Somebody who comes along and with a big donation like Marty did helps to fill in the gaps. We've moved the gas gauge up another notch. It's not quite full yet. That's the next, it's one notch below full.

But it, it helped a great deal. So I want to thank him and everybody who who contributed and it's um it's yes it i don't want to be a big burden on anybody like marty or anyone else um it was but it is a situation where most uh programs or causes or whatever most people don't contribute if people contributed a small amount and we do appreciate the small contributions, that's the big contributions that make up for all the people that don't

give us a small contribution. And so, um, just want to thank everybody who has supported us. He also said, um, uh, had a comment for the love of the road.

Uh, that thing about the FDA regulating frozen cherry pie reminded me of the movie casino, the scene where De Niro's character is complaining about the blueberries and the muffins, not being a consistent amount. Can't believe this man. I think we're 50 years.

I'd like to see how they enforce that. Yeah, I guess just spot, uh, spot checks on, um, you know, what's in there.

Weigh all, take all, grab a cherry pie, take all the cherries out's in there. Weigh all, take all, grab a cherry pie, take all the cherries out, weigh them. What percentage of the overall weight is, are they blemished? What?

It's crazy. And the craziest thing about it, I mean, look at what the FDA does, what the EPA does, what any of these government agencies do. And that's what we're talking about. We're talking about the deep state or the swamp,

and they are all under the direct command and control of the president, folks. So don't talk to me about how Trump's going to get rid of the swamp and the deep state. He did nothing for four years. Nothing. Nothing. Wouldn't even get rid of the Paris Climate Accord, which is huge. Huge. And so now we've got another treaty that is coming up. Before I talk about that, though, when you look at the pettiness, the absurdity of these organizations,

the key thing about that frozen cherry pie regulation from the FDA, and they're for like 50 years, the key thing about it was that it didn't apply to fresh cherry pies, only to frozen cherry pies. It did not apply to apple pies, fresh or frozen. It's just the arbitrariness of it and the absurdity of it. That's everything the government does. Well, quickly,

I wanted this couple of news items I wanted to get to before we get into the big news of the pandemic. Um, the, um, the extradition of Julian Assange has been delayed. A UK high court asks the US to offer assurances of what they're not going to do to him or face a limited appeal.

At this point, does anybody believe anything the federal government says especially the people who are out for his blood the intelligence community the cia and people of that ilk people like bill barr he's part of that community why did trump put him in charge why did trump put in gina haspel as head of the cia who was over the torture program that was not only immoral, illegal, unconstitutional, but it was also the thing that produced the lies that lied us into the Iraq war. Trump said, well, the Iraq war was based on lies. And then he promotes the person who generated those lies and then covered up all the immoral, unethical, illegal, unconstitutional actions that were used to produce those lies and then covered up all the immoral unethical illegal unconstitutional actions that were used to produce those lies it makes gina haspel the head of the cia it makes bill barr

george hw bush oh we hate the bushes don't we oh alex would talk so much about all these bushes and yet he put trump put the Bushes in charge of things. And it's that little shrub, Bill Barr, who just a couple of months after Trump put him in as Attorney General, goes after Julian Assange. I mean, it's just such a hoax. Truly, it's amazing. The U.S. government was given an opportunity to provide assurances that may result in his extradition in the next few months. If they come up with some lies and the U.S. and the U.K. government says, well, those are believable. So we will extradite him to the United States.

You know, think of the fact that he is a non-citizen being essentially tried for treason to the U.S. government. What does that even mean? And that's what we're talking about here the real government he betrayed the real exposed i should say not a betrayal he's a foreign citizen but he exposed our real government he embarrassed our real government because nobody had any consequences for what they'd done just like gina haspel didn't have any consequences for torturing people and producing lies that got us into a massive war. There was nobody prosecuted for the collateral murder stuff. Nobody was prosecuted for any of that.

Because that's the real government, folks. It isn't these clowns that you think you know trump and biden that you're voting for the real government is the cia that's there the court refused to allow assange to appeal on the grounds that the u.s is prosecuting him for his political opinions in other words you know they are just as you see courts here, you can't tell people about that. And it's factual. And it is something that is relevant. And it is something that would prove that you're innocent.

It's exculpatory, as they say. We saw this with Ross Ulbrich in Silk Road. You know, they said, well, you were the one who had the keys and you're running. It's anything that happened with Silk Road and the allegations we make that's your fault it's like no there are two fbi agents who are running silk road who had the keys to silk road at that time who also were on trial for a theft embezzlement out of silk road of nearly a million dollars but they would not allow his attorneys to talk about that and tell the jury that. So they hide the truth all the time. They hide the evidence all the time. Extradition would violate his right to life or expose him to cruel and inhuman treatment. Well,

he's not allowed to make those arguments. They're just too true. You can't say the quiet part out loud, especially when you're in these courts. So, um, the one person who Holger Stark, who worked with, uh, Der Spiegel back when, um, back in the two thousands, and he helped to publish some of the WikiLeaks. He had a comment about what is going on with Julian Assange that is right on point. He says what Julian Assange did. He said, in democracies, this is called journalism. That's a very cutting comment because we know that we have left that.

And I say that when we see people censoring us, we can say in a democracy, we should remember this. You know, you're, you're firing somebody, you're canceling them. You're canceling their bank account, canceling their social media. In democracies, what you're punishing them for is what we call free speech. Or you come after somebody because of their religious beliefs. In a democracy, we call this the free exercise of religion. Just put that there. I know we don't have 100% democracy. It's a republic, a democratic republic, if you would,

a democratically elected republic. But again, they like to talk about democracy so put it you know put it the preface with that in a democracy we call this free press or free speech or the free exercise of religion he said the essence of a democracy is to allow criticism even when it hurts if the american prosecutors assisted by the british judiciary succeed in their plan to de facto bury Assange alive, this would, in addition to the personal tragedy, be a massive curtailment of press freedom. The worst-case outcome of today is that Julian will be put straight on a CIA plane with a

hood over his head, demarking the death of British justice and democracy. But I believe the British justice will prevent that. Then it will be up to us all to raise the noise to get him out of that hellish London prison before his health completely collapses and any semblance of US and UK freedom dies along with him. Commented Matt O'Branane, if I'm saying his name correctly. So one of those was from Stark, who worked for Der Spiegel.

The other one was from a different individual. Other quick news in terms of what is happening in states. We have an update on what is happening in South Carolina with the vaccine mandates. But before we get to that, I saw this on the Tennessee Star, which is a website that covers Tennessee state news and some national news occasionally. But they just had a bill pass the Tennessee Senate that will keep Super Bowl contracts that they hope to have

hidden for 10 years. What is that about? They've already signed a half a billion dollar agreement of subsidy for this NFL team that's owned by a multi-billionaire who has his players who are multi-millionaires. Why do we as taxpayers have to subsidize this? I've been talking about this stadium nonsense on all these sports, but especially with the NFL, it's one of the worst ones.

But on all the sports, whether you're talking about football or baseball or basketball, why should we buy these stadiums for these billionaires? Can't they pay for their own building? Everybody else has to. Oh, but it helps the community. No, it doesn't. Economic studies have shown over and over again that it doesn't. It's crony capitalism is what it is.

Now, we've got to stop this kind of predatory grifting of these wealthy people doing it in concert with a bunch of corrupt politicians. And so I saw this, it passed the Tennessee Senate. What did Nicely do? Guess what he did? He was one of only six people who voted against it. Another Thomas Massey kind of guy. And he was quoted. He not only voted against it, but he spoke out in opposition to it. What Frank Nicely

said, he said, I can't see how anything can be held secret for 10 years. That's a long time. I'm voting against it. You had another Tennessee senator, Todd Gardenhire out of Chattanooga, said anytime we tinker with the open record laws and allow exemptions for different bodies and stuff, I think we're down a slippery slope. I respect the two Senator sponsors, but I will be voting no on this. Andrew Farmer from Sevierville said during the house discussions that the bill

would help the Superbow uh to bring the super bowl to nashville in either 2028 2029 or 2030 after the new stadium is built that we're on the hook for a half a billion dollars too and so we know that this is going to be a half billion dollar subsidy we don't know how much money they're going to give these people. And we're not allowed to know how much they're going to pay off the NFL to have a Super Bowl in Nashville. I tell you, this stinks. Why are they keeping it secret? Because they know we're going to be pretty angry.

And I'm angry about the fact they're keeping it secret. Again, it is just theft. Just theft. The bill allows for the records to be deemed confidential and to be released 10 years after the date of the document, after the disbursement of state funds, the conclusion of the event, and the expiration of the contract. Look, if you're in a negotiation process,

you don't necessarily need to do that. But this ought to be in the public before they even disperse the funds. People ought to be able to comment about this. Department of Tourism Commissioner said he's got $25 million in a mega event fund. And he can use it for contracts related to the Super Bowl, to the Final Four, to WWE-type large events. And he didn't have to tell you anything about it. With this. Isn't that nice? Now, in South Carolina, we had some legislators come up with a Medical Freedom Act.

And we'll talk about this as a prelude to the pandemic stuff when we come back. And so these Republican senators who said, we don't like what was done in 2020. And the governor who did it to them in 2020, the Republican governor who did it to them in South Carolina, the Republican governor who just endorsed Trump said, well, we don't want to hamstring our ability to respond to a public health crisis. Hey, that's exactly the point of this, pal, is to hamstring these public health services who enacted medical martial law four years ago.

That's the point. It's amazing to me that it took this long to come through, but finally they've got it and not too many legislators have come through with anything like this that I know of. I haven't seen anybody other than them move to get rid of this Model State Health Emergency Powers Act. Again, I probably don't have the order of those words right. But that was a model legislation that was sent out after their dark winter simulation two months before 9 11 after the um um anthrax false flag attack the week after 9 11 and then two months later they put out this model legislation and

you have all these different states put that in they prepared for this 20 years ago they embedded this and we think about this when you got this pandemic thing they're not going to this 20 years ago. They embedded this. And we think about this when you got this pandemic thing. They're not going to wait 20 years to do this again. They're going to pull the trigger on this global pandemic treaty. They're not going to wait for 20 years. They waited for 20 years. They prepared stuff gradually, secretly, you know, like this NFL Super Bowl contract. These spiders are weaving their webs. NFL Super Bowl contract.

These spiders are weaving their webs. Bohemian Grove type stuff. Even more than that, DARPA CIA type stuff. They prepare and practice for this. They lay the legislative foundation for this. This was the other shoe to drop from 9-11. And so you got some legislators there. The governor is opposed to it. The Chamber of Commerce, of course, is opposed to this.

And so the Chamber of Commerce is saying this could cost individuals and our state jobs. I think a lot of people lost their jobs because they didn't want a vaccine mandate. That's what this is designed to stop. And the governor and the Chamber of Commerce are saying, you know, we shouldn't be telling. It's not for the state to tell companies what to do. Oh, really? But it's the purview of the companies to tell their employees that they've got to inject an experimental vaccine or lose their job. That's okay.

But we don't want the state telling the companies what to do. Well, you know who these people are, don't you? They just flew their flag who they're following, who their master is. The Medical Freedom Act would prohibit the state from mandating its employees and students to get vaccines that have not had full approval from the FDA. But then look at this. Or have been licensed for use less than 10 years. So you got to, after the FDA approves it, you got to wait another 10 years before you,

uh, force this on anybody before you coerce people with any of this stuff. And that's a key thing. You know, Trump skipped the tests. That's how he got it out at warp speed. And so, um,

they, you know, they're right on. And, um, the, um, the governor's pushing against it.

Uh, these, uh, crony capitalists are pushing against it. But it is now advanced. And so it is going through anyway. Hopefully it will go all the way through. We're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we are going to talk about uh what is happening with the pandemic treaty which is being uh looked at uh as we speak while everybody else is um contemplating what happened with the bridge if you like the eagles on a dark desert highway the cars and huey lewis

in the news they say the hot rock and roll is. You'll love the Classic Hits channel at APS Radio. Download our app or listen now at APSradio.com. ¶¶ © BF-WATCH TV 2021 Liberty. liberty it's your move and now the david knight show well in the uk the telegraph which is essentially a mainstream publication, has this headline. Britain risks losing power to control future lockdowns to the WHO. That's exactly what this is about. A lot of people are sounding this alarm, but, you know, we've got other things that they can bring out to distract us. They risk losing political power. We all risk losing mobility, freedom uh our personal uh power and uh electricity all the rest of stuff to the likes of sadiq khan and these other khan uh the the

conservative government he's not a part of that uh but um they're not really doing anything uh you have some tory mps are against this, but again, they'll always have an allow, you know, a few people, you got your Thomas Massey at the, in Congress or your Frank nicely in Tennessee or something, they'll allow some people. Uh, who are going to push back against it, but they'll make sure that they're in the minority. And what happens is people will look at it and they'll see the people who are genuine, who are pushing back against this. And then the Republicans will use

it to say, so that's, you know, vote for us this election when the vast majority of them are no different from the Democrats. The vast majority of them want to turn power over to the WHO. And that's true of the Tories in the UK as well. Britain risks signing away its powers over pandemic policy to unelected World Health Organization officials. These few Tory MPs have warned. It is feared that a new pandemic treaty, quote unquote, currently being drawn up by the UN agency could bounce the UK into locking down

society faster the next time. They made no secret about the fact they intend to do this again. It worked so well for them. And so when you look at this, it's not even as I've had, James Roguski has been on this, one of the best reporters on this, into the detail of it. And, you know, the pandemic treaty is not even the most immediate issue it's the international health regulations the IHR that's there they're claiming that they can change those regulations and then that gets grandfathered in through the treaty and whether they do it through the IHR whether they do it through the treaty or whatever they do understand that the you know

you look at it well does this have the force of law and you know if we haven't ratified this treaty they can't use that against us just take a look at what's going on with the paris climate accord that is a treaty a treaty that john kerry and said well obama and i self-ratified it and the republicans never push back on that Republicans never pushed back on that. Trump never pushed back on it. And they always still refer to it. Well, we have to do this and we have to do that to be in compliance with the Paris Climate Accord. They constantly do that. And so these people will refer to it and use it as an excuse, even if it's not ratified.

You see, that's the key thing. We can talk about this until we're blue in the face, and we can tell people, don't vote for it, don't ratify it. Well, they're not even going to hold it up for a vote. They'll just refer to it as a standard that they must obey. And they don't obey the Constitution or the Bill of Rights. This is just going to be a massive excuse for them. Well, I have to do it because they said so. So this is the way this thing is going to roll out. Today is the day that they're voting on it.

Concerns have been raised that Britain could be forced to spend 5% of its health budget on preparing for another virus outbreak. The virus was not isolated. The virus was a virus of political propaganda, lies, medical malpractice, non-treatment, deadly methods, lies about PCR tests. Folks, there was no pandemic. I can't say it strongly enough. A group of conservative MPs warn of growing concerns about the new WHO pandemic treaty and the lack of scrutiny that it faces.

Well, the conservatives in the UK are just like Trump. They're going to follow the globalist agenda. They're going to complain about the World Health Organization. They'll complain about the World Economic Forum while they do everything that the World Economic Forum and the World Health Organization wants. So they caution against the UK signing up to a treaty with quote, potentially the most far reaching changes to the way public health policy will be conducted. They also warn against decisions being made by unelected officials say there must be a greater level of parliamentary scrutiny and oversight over the treaty.

Well, again, we look at the other MacGuffin, the climate MacGuffin, um, well, they had a majority in the Senate. Well, again, we look at the other MacGuffin, the climate MacGuffin. They had a majority in the Senate when Trump came into office. Mitch McConnell, not a single senator either. It's not just Mitch McConnell, right?

As I've said before, Rand Paul did not call for a vote. He didn't say, wait a minute, that Paris Climate Accord Treaty that Kerry said was ratified. He didn't have to do minute that paris climate accord treaty that uh carrie said was ratified and he didn't have to do that when they were in the majority he could have done it when they were in the minority you just have one senator say point of order according to the constitution we have to have 60 of the senate ratified treaty you can't self-ratify this everybody looked at it's like you know but they use it they it. Even though it was illegally done, just like they, everything that they did in 2020 had

no legal or constitutional basis, but they did it and they got away with it. And everybody looked the other way and everybody in the Senate, all of the Republicans, not just Mitch McConnell, but all of them. And they were in the majority. They did nothing about that. They will do nothing about the World Health Organization pandemic treaty either. So we'll have taxation, we'll have regulation,

and we'll have it all without representation. And I said that in 2020. Everybody's like, well, I'm not voting for Trump. You're going to vote for Biden? If you don't vote for Trump, that's a vote for Biden. I said, why do you care? Why do you care? You know what both of these guys are going to do. And I said,

were our elected representatives instrumental in doing anything for this in 2020 to stop any of this stuff? No. I said, we've been ruled since March and November. I said, we've been ruled by a bunch of unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats. The same thing they're saying about this, of course. We've already been through this. So has Britain. This is not going to be anything new. They're just moving it to a different level.

They're moving it to a global organization instead of a national or local organizations to do this. But make no mistake about it. We were under medical martial law. I said that from the very beginning. And I said, what's the point of having an election in the middle of martial law? We can't even show up to vote in many cases. That's why Trump is doing the vote by mail stuff.

And that's going to add a whole nother level of corruption. And you want to complain about that now? That was Trump who added that corruption there. They warned that if the new treaty and its amendments are adopted, they risk undermining UK sovereignty. You better believe it. Allowing unaccountable individuals and

supra-national bodies tacit jurisdiction over national public health measures. Folks, we need to get rid of this whole idea of public health. One of the other things I've been saying from the very beginning is that you can have public health or individual health. If you focus on public health, no individual's health is going to be of any concern.

And public health is not real if you don't have individual health. If you don't focus on individual health and if you don't make individual health the priority, public health is meaningless. The public health is made up of the health of individuals. And if you take that off the board and say, well, I don't care. I don't care about their informed consent. I don't care what is good for that individual. If they've got a known problem,

if they're going to encapsulate this stuff in polyethylene glycol, and we know that if you inject polyethylene glycol into a lot of people that they're going to have anaphylactic shock, it may kill some of them, and you say, well, we don't care. The FDA said, we don't care, when they were told. And the FDA told Children's Health Defense, we don't care. Contact Pfizer. Huh, what?

Obviously, they don't care. They're making this up. They called Pfizer. Pfizer, we don't care. They don't care about the health of individuals. They don't care if individuals go immediately into anaphylactic shock. They don't care. The treaty, by the way,

was first proposed by Boris Johnson, a so-called conservative, in 2021. But the real issue is the International Health Regulations, the IHRs. That's going to be the backdoor way that they get this thing through.

Among the 300 proposed amendments to the IHRs. That's going to be the backdoor way that they get this thing through. Among the 300 proposed amendments to the IHR, they're going to say, well, you know, we already had this agreement. Nothing was mandatory, but now we're going to make it mandatory with these IHR, with the international health regulations. We're not going to make it mandatory. We're not going to give ourselves superior position to you. And we're just going to grandfather that stuff in. The 300 proposed amendments amongst that are changes to make the WHO's advice binding. That's the word they use, binding. And to introduce a new requirement for countries to recognize it as the global authority on public health measures.

The guy who's running this, Tedros, doesn't have any kind of medical background, even. He's a Marxist politician. And that's what this is all really about. The other concern is about the practical impact this treaty could have on our domestic laws. A UN convention doesn't itself have direct legal force in the UK or the US, but they can always pretend, right? As we have discovered, however, with the Rwanda plan,

the doctrine of many government lawyers seems to be that international commitments are in practice just as legally binding as our own laws, you see? If you make a commitment, even if it's not a treaty, you make a commitment to something, your Paris Climate a treaty, you make a commitment to something, your Paris Climate Accords, well, that's just as legally binding as if we'd passed the law. So we've got to get our laws in alignment with that. And you can argue till you're blue in the face about how treaties are actually done.

These people don't follow the Constitution. They use it as a beard to assume power, and then they betray that oath follow the Constitution. They use it as a beard to assume power, and then they betray that oath to the Constitution, which means that they don't have any authority, but they certainly do have a lot of force and money and coercion at their fingertips. So one person said, so that's really my worry. Ministers will claim that these new treaties involve no loss of sovereignty, but in practice,

if another crisis comes, there will be lots of pressure to act within this WHO framework. And government lawyers will tell us that we must do it. And we will find that in practice, we have signed away the ability to pursue other options or to act as Sweden did in 2020. You know, the doublespeak that's involved in all this. Well, you know, this is not really a treaty, so don't feel threatened by this. But then when it comes around, oh yeah, you really got to do it because the accord said so.

We've already seen this with the Paris Climate Accord. And they do the same types of things when they come around and say, well, you know, we have laws that are passed by your elected representatives. Now, if you are accused of violating one of those laws, you have due process. You have a jury trial. You have a presumption of innocence. You have protection against excessive fines. However, these are not laws.

These are rules that are passed by the bureaucrats who are not elected. And so with those rules, you get no presumption of innocence. You get no jury trial. You get no due process. You get no protection against excessive fines. We can hit you with the money. We can steal your money without even charging you with a crime, let alone convicting you of a crime. This is how we get civil asset forfeiture and these other things. That's why they call it civil asset forfeiture. This isn't a law, they said.

But they will imply that it's a law. And sometimes they will call it a law. You know, we had these people who were running through the medical martial law, uh, saying, well, it's a law. You've got to wear a mask. It's a law. You got to stay six feet apart and all the rest of this stuff. They will gaslight people, lie to people about it being a law and they'll put it through. And so what they're going through with this vote right now is merely a formality.

And we can't stop it. But we can prepare. And how do we prepare? Well, you think about what they're doing globally. And you get ready to act locally. We talked about that over and over again. I keep hammering that down. That's the only thing we've got in terms of political action that we can do.

So these proposed IHR amendments and the pandemic treaty will create perverse incentives to declare pandemics. Of course they will. So it's expose news, and this is out of the UK as well. The World Health Organization will be voting on this, convening together beginning today and going through the 1st of June. So they're going to do this for a couple of months. They really want to make this thing binding.

They are going to be binding the chains of slavery upon us. And you notice how nobody is paying attention to it, especially our elected representatives. They got a lot of things that they want to talk about. This is not one of them. The amendments to the IHR, the international health regulations, can be adopted by a simple majority and will be binding on all states unless the states record a reservation by the end of the year, by the end of last year. I'm sorry. So that's already, that ship has already sailed.

You see, we had no reservations from any Republicans, none whatsoever. And of course, certainly not from Biden. So the WHO describes the IHR as quote, an instrument of international law that is legally binding on its 196 state parties, including the 194 WHO member states, even if they voted against it. The new regime will change the WHO from a technical advisory organization into a supranational public health authority exercising quasi-legislative and executive powers over states, as we have seen over and over again with our own domestic bureaucracies, all under the president.

None of them threatened whatsoever by Trump during his four years. It will change the nature of the relationship between citizens, business enterprises, and governments domestically. And it will change the nature of relationships between governments and other governments and the WHO internationally. It will shift the locus of medical practice from the doctor-patient consultation to public health bureaucrats. We've had a preview of this and they're getting ready to double down on this because we don't have any representatives who have done anything to stop this. Like I said, where are they? Where are they pushing back on this?

Well, in South Carolina, legislature is pushing back on it, but the Republican governor, the chamber of commerce are pushing against them. And that's about it. The COVID years gave the elites a valuable lesson in how to exercise effective social control, and they mean to apply it to all issues. The changes to global health governance architecture must be understood in this light. It represents a transformation of the national security administrative state and the surveillance state into a globalized biosecurity state. That's what this is all really about. This is not about any virus. This is about political control.

The changes would confer extraordinary new powers on the WHO's director general. That's that Marxist Tedro who has absolutely no medical knowledge. Doesn't need it because this isn't about medicine. This is about enslaving you. It would give them a lot of new powers to the director general, to the regional directors and mandate governments to implement their recommendations. Oh,

we just recommended it. You see, that's the game that even the MAGA people make excuses for Trump. He didn't force anybody to, he just did recommendations. And that's what Fauci says. And that's what Trump says. And that's what Fauci says. And that's what Trump says. And that's the way the World Health Organization is going to operate.

We just made recommendations. It was your government that did it. Well, the government said that they had to do what you had to say. And here in the United States, it's even more direct control of the government because Trump was paying them to do his recommendations, just like he paid Hillary Clinton to come to his, I paid her to be there at my daughter's wedding. So, um, it resulted in a major expansion of, uh, health bureaucracy, uh, especially now under the WHO, for example, new implementation and compliance committees. It'll shift the center of gravity from the common deadliest diseases to relatively rare pandemic outbreaks. There have been five of these, including COVID, in the last 120 years. Had you noticed? I hadn't noticed.

I hadn't noticed anybody dropping over dead from COVID, except in the fake Chinese videos that were seeded everywhere. It'll give WHO authority to direct resources to itself. Money, pharmaceutical products, copyrights, intellectual property rights, and to other governments in breach of sovereign and copyright rights. Moreover, the new regime aims to eliminate transparency. We can't even have transparency when we've got a state government bribing the NFL for an event. It'll eliminate transparency, critical scrutiny by criminalizing any opinion that questions the official narrative from the WHO and governments, thereby elevating them to the status of dogma. We've seen all of this.

The pandemic treaty calls for governments to tackle the infodemics, as they put it, of false information, misinformation, disinformation, and even too much information. What is that? Omniformation? This is, look, the bottom line, folks, when you talk about the who who don't get fooled again um fooled you once right and yet we don't care we think this is over and it's not

theft by lockdown as brownstone points about the guy talks about a story um eric cussie who wrote this uh he said he was in washington he wanted to look at the congressional the library of congress in person and so he wants to do this oh i'm sorry this is just really for research uh issues um and this is not a normal library this is for you know people who are researchers he says i own this place own this place. How do I get a card? And he said, and the issue is, and the reason he talks about this, uh, is because he said the point is ownership. What else do we own?

Right? Well, we own ourselves, don't we? We should. And that's been violated for the last four years. Who has the right? And he says, instead of talking about the right, we should talk about who has the authority. Who has the authority to demand you subjugate your ownership of self, thereby allowing you to be forced to wear a mask? Yeah, I think it's very important.

We shouldn't talk about states' rights. We should talk about states' powers and authority and things like that. Those words make a difference. You know, states don't have rights. States are a creation of human beings. Human beings have rights because we are created by God. Corporations do not have rights. Corporations have privileges. Corporate privileges

granted by government do not trump God-conveyed rights to us. We should always remember that. If someone doesn't have authority, how did they or their entity acquire that authority? To what extent are they allowed to enforce that authority? say that's um we have to look at with these mandates to the military which trump and by the way had already signed he was going to do the same thing that biden did and i said in december of 2020 i said i can tell you when those mandates are going to go out it'll be in sept. They'll do it to coincide with school beginning because they want to use that pressure as well. But as they remove from West Point, duty, honor and also country, they want to remove duty and

honor because they don't want to have a country. It's just that simple. Public health cannot exist if you're contemptuous of the health of individuals um and in democracies we call this uh all right a bill of rights so um they're going to go from the theft of rights to traditional theft where they just outright steal everything from us. And that was another part of the lockdown. There's articles coming out now about all the massive fraud because Trump just let loose all of the cash on everybody. Lamborghinis, jewels, easy money. How Uncle Sam made Miami a feast for PPP fraudsters.

Well, it wasn't Uncle Sam. It was Donnie Trump who did all that stuff. It wasn't the pandemic that did it to us. It was Trump's measures that did it to us. It was corrupt from the very beginning. And bribery to get people locked down. We have on Rockfin, Fran Edwards. Thank you very much for the tip. I appreciate that. And Steven Patterson. That is very Rockfin, Fran Edwards. Thank you very much for the tip.

I appreciate that. And Steven Patterson. That is very generous. I appreciate that. Thank you. On Rumble, Sprumford said, I could never understand why everyone followed the WHO CDC recommendations. They weren't mandatory. Yet they were enacted as such.

Well, again, part of this is the information, the coercion, the disinformation, the lies that are told to people. They all acted as if it was. And it was just outright lies and gaslighting of people. Oh, you must do this. And if you stood up to them and said, no, I don't have to do it, they would find some way to cancel you or kick you out, as we saw over and over again. Honest police officers who would say, I took an oath to the constitution and this is not a law. This is a regulation from another

bureaucracy. I'm not enforcing this law. Next thing you see, that person's been fired. That's how they did it. Just like with the military. We don't want people who have fealty to the constitution or their country they're out and we're going to use this stuff to get them out uh on rockfin eugene alexis thank you for the tip uh thank you very much uh it says quote you helped to change my life my wife left the medical field after 10 years when the medical malpractice was obvious during 2020. Well, good for her. We listened to you and finally felt like we were not alone in how we felt about

the changes in society. Now we homeschool our children, we run our own business, and have more time to spend with our family. Well, thank you for telling me that. That really is a blessing. You know, the homeschooling thing, people look at it and say, I just don't know how I can do it. Well, you make that a priority and you rearrange your life. And I've

heard that story that Eugene just mentioned. I've heard that story over and over again from homeschoolers. And the joy is in the journey. The joy is having that time with your children that you would never have. The time with each other as a family, rather than everybody splitting up and going their own ways, going, you know, husband to one job, wife to another job, kids going to school to be raised by the government, increasingly becoming alienated to you and you to them because you don't talk to them on a regular basis. When you're doing homeschooling, you can't avoid talking to them and talking about the things that come up and that's how you get to know people we had our video stores we would we would hang out and and help people with recommendations on

things and so i talked about movies that they liked and so i would know what things to recommend for them and uh and it's pretty easy to make recommendations uh for anything except comedy everybody's got a different idea what's funny funny. So I didn't make comedy recommendations. But any other genre of film, you can kind of get an idea of, you know, what types of things they're looking for. And, of course, you know, the difference in the quality of film based on the director, not on whoever the star is, but, you know, based on the director, you know, you've got an idea of the quality of it.

But the point being is that you have an opportunity an opportunity to talk to me and we got to know people, you know, it became like a, it came like a cheers bar type of thing. You know, come in and you talk about, uh, you start talking about movies and you talk about something else. That's the way homeschooling is. You spend time with somebody and all of a sudden, all these other things open up as opportunities. Thank you so much for telling me that, Eugene. I really do appreciate that. We're going to take a quick break.

If you buy Bibles, you know that that's pretty expensive for a Bible. You can get, you know, they're always coming up with new translations

for the most part so they can make some money, copyright this thing or whatever. But even if you pay for a new translation and pay the premium for that and get it with a really nice cover, you can still pick up something for $20 or $30 with a really nice cover. You have to work pretty hard to spend that kind of money. But especially the King James Version, it's in public domain. You don't have to pay anybody for that you don't have to pay anybody for the other stuff that he put in his bible either the constitution

bill of rights pledge of allegiance all these different things that trump has never read just like he hasn't read the bible uh so he announced uh his bible and he announces it this way. Happy Holy week. The awkward way that he talks about this stuff just goes to show it's a shibboleth. Yes, it is a shibboleth, but you know, when he went to Liberty university and he saw the sign there and said, uh, first Corinthians, something quoted of a, a verse, and so he wanted to repeat that to people, he called it one Corinthians and you had Ted Cruz trolled him on it. And at the time I said, we'll give him a little bit of a break. You know, let's, uh, that's just kind of a shibboleth.

But I imagine, um, maybe, you know, in the Trump Bible, uh, maybe they actually spell it out. Maybe they say T W O Corinthians, you know, two Corinthians, uh, or maybe they just says it's Donald Trump. Maybe they spell it T-O-O. It's Corinthians too. But this guy, what a fraud he is. The Bible is the King James Version text.

Contains a number of add-ons. A handwritten chorus to God Bless the USA by Lee Greenwood. It's got the text of the U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independence, A handwritten chorus to God Bless the USA by Lee Greenwood. It's got the text of the U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independence, and the Pledge of Allegiance. And again, will Trump ever read any of these things, let alone follow them? Well, the jury is still out you if you would like to get a Make America Pray Again hat, currently on sale for $25 with the purchase of a Bible for $59.99. Wow.

I want to have a lot of people have it. You have to have it for your heart and soul, says Trump. You got to have it. You got to have it. My favorite book. It's a lot of people's favorite book, he says. have to have it for your heart and soul says trump you gotta have it you gotta have it my favorite book it's a lot of people's favorite book he says could he be any phonier uh as a matter of fact it's his favorite book you remember when they asked him about that you mentioned the bible you've been talking about how it's your favorite book and you, I think last night in Iowa, some people are surprised that you say that. I'm wondering what one or two of your most favorite Bible verses are.

I wouldn't want to get into it because to me, that's very personal. You know, when I talk about the Bible, it's very personal. So I don't want to get into verses. I don't want to get into it. There's no verse that means a lot to you that you think about or cite? The Bible means a lot to me, but I don't want to get into specifics. Even to cite a verse that you like? No, I don't want to do that.

Are you an Old Testament guy or a New Testament guy? Probably equal. I think it's just an incredible, the whole Bible is an incredible. I joke very much so. They always hold up the art of the deal. I say my second favorite book of all time. But I just think the bible is just something very special yeah you know it is better because um he makes more money from it you know he can sell the bible

his bible for 60 his are the deal is now only 31 at amazon and of course melania's got her own version of art of the deal that she sells on amazon as well. It's all about selling, isn't it? But here's the other thing, too. We know this guy is a huckster. And it bothers me to see hucksters. It bothers me to see hucksters in politics. It bothers me to see them in religion. And it especially bothers me to see political hucksters start huckstering people in religion.

It's bad enough to have the Joelel austin's charlatans like that and pope francis they're bad enough charlatans but when you get into people like michael flynn and donald trump who are both religious and political charlatans well and it kind of gets under my skin, as you can see. I just, so the documents, he says, this Bible is a reminder that the biggest thing we have to bring back to America to make America great again is our religion. What religion is that? He can't tell us whether he likes the old or the new. He doesn't even know what an Old and New Testament is. Does he even know what that means?

And, of course, he doesn't want to mention the name of Christ either. But he'll, happy Holy Week, whatever that means. He's such a huckster. It's just unbelievable. Here's a little bit of his announcement. I'm not going to play the whole thing. I'm proud to be partnering with my very good friend Lee greenwood who doesn't love his song god bless the usa in connection with promoting the god bless the usa bible this bible is the king james version

and also includes our founding father documents yes the constitution which i'm fighting for every single day very hard to keep Americans protected. Also, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence, and the Pledge of Allegiance are all part of this. God bless the USA Bible. And it's very important and very important to me. I want to have a lot of people have it. You have to have it for your heart, for your soul. Yeah. Well, he goes on to say i'm pro god i mean literally he says that i'm pro god gotta have it gotta gotta have this one right here uh as uh one organization which is uh not uh, not pro Trump says a proof that Trump thinks MAGA are fools and, uh,

happy holy week and the rest of this stuff and his video clip, he talks about how it's his favorite book. He's proud to endorse the book. Uh, and, um, again, um, late, they, uh, a tweet from the Lincoln project who, uh, hates Trump, they said the only time that trump touches bibles is when he's under oath or selling them pretty spot on uh and uh one user said this is proof that trump thinks magAs are fools who will buy anything, including shreds of his suit fabric, gaudy tennis shoes, pirated NFT trading cards, and now Bibles. He has a walking kiosk of cheap merch, like a traveling state fair carny booth.

I couldn't say it any better. That is exactly the gold sneakers that you can get for merely $400. Yeah. Yeah. Come and get them. Come get your gold sneakers as worn by your idol. For they had made them a God of gold. And they bore him upon their shoulders and rejoiced, saying,

This be our God, O Israel. Well, you can also get Trump cologne. I wonder what that smells like. It stinks, really, probably. Allegedly, and perfume that's allegedly made between $100,000 to $1 million last year after selling digital trading cards but i think the babble and b said it best now they didn't make any fun of him yet about this but back in 2016 when it wasn't necessary for every conservative organization to kiss the ring

or some other part of his anatomy. This is what the Babylon Bee had to say about Trump at the time. They said Trump fires back after the Bible accuses him of not being a Christian, responding to numerous statements which don't mention him by name, but are widely believed to include him in their intended audience. Donald Trump, Republican presidential candidate in 2016, self-described Presbyterian, fired back at the Holy Bible Saturday after it reportedly accused him of not being a Christian. I've said many times, I greatly appreciate the Bible. It has served us well, but folks, we can do better, he said in a video.

He says, scriptures are millions of years old they're weak they're so weak they're older even than joe biden uh he uh he attributed attributes that he implied are to blame for christianity's perceived decline in america and why isis is chopping off christian heads uh the has-been Bible says I'm not a Christian. That's a lie, folks. I am a tremendous Christian, the very best. These numerous verses from the Bible, which, by the way, doesn't even have the courage to address me by name.

You know, what kind of a Bible is this that doesn't have his name in there, right? We're just waiting for the day when the last Trump will sound. Get that whole dynasty off of the stage here. But these verses that try to paint me as somehow unchristian, they're ridiculous, they're false, it's pathetic. Really, it's sad, he said. When pressed for comment,

the Holy Bible released a one-sentence statement. You will know them by their fruit. That is how we know who Donald Trump is. We'll be right back. Hear news now at APSradioNews.com or get the APS Radio app and never miss another story. Thank you. Making sense common again. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Well, I guess when we look at where we are coming up to Eastern again,

we're happy to have Gard is going to do the show for us tomorrow and on Friday. I have an appointment to have a medical test done tomorrow, and I decided I'd just go ahead and take off Friday as well. Always glad to have Gard do it. I know you guys are going to love the show. He always is so thoroughly researched in everything that he does. He has great guests, so I'm sure you're going to enjoy the show. But, you know, part of this, I guess, what really bothers me about this stuff, and some people say, well, at least he's getting a Bible into somebody's hands and he's taking $60 out of

their pocket. I mean, that's ridiculous. This is a King James Bible. You can pick up one of these things for 10 bucks or less. And most churches that I've been a member of, you come in, they'll have Bibles there in the pew and say, if you don't have a Bible, pull this out and take a look at it. Read it along with me so you can see what I'm saying. And if you don't have one, feel free to take it with you. You don't need to pay Trump $60 for it. And these people are going to get this Bible,

oh, look, I've got my Trump Bible. I'm going to stick it on the shelf along with my Trump golden sneakers that I paid $400 for. You think they're going to wear those shoes on a daily basis? No, they're going to put them on the shelf. You think they're going to read this Bible on a daily basis? No, they'll probably put it on the shelf. Bible doesn't do you any good if you don't read it. I've seen so many pictures of Trump holding it up in the air like it's some kind of magic talisman or something. He's pathetic. You really ought to pray for him. I'm serious. I hate what the guy does, but he's lost, folks. He's like any of these people. You look at Bill Gates and you look at

Jeff Bezos, you ought to pity them. As I've said before, they're like some animal that's been dressed up for a sacrifice they prayed it through the streets with all the flowers and lays on it and then the end of the road it's going to be slaughtered and that's what these people are you know we go through difficult times in our life don't we because the bible says that god is a good father He disciplines those who are his children. He chastens them, disciplines them. We should all be doing that as parents. Many times we don't do that enough.

But God does it out of love. He does it because he wants to make us better. And when he leaves these people like Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos and Donald Trump and Joe Biden alone, and they continue to prosper, we should look at this as God's abandonment to them. They have sold themselves out to the God of this world. And it is really sad. But the other part of this is that by putting all this stuff in, what Trump is doing is feeding this idea, this paranoia, and this false narrative from the left about Christian nationalism.

What they're trying to scare people about is the nonsense that's being put out there and these Reawaken America tours and the prayers to ascended masters that Michael Flynn is leading people in and Donald Trump, who are using religion as a means to pull people in and to use them for politics. And so a lot of people look at this and understand that's what that's about. And what this does with Trump's Bible, it just feeds that paranoia. It feeds that misperception of a lot of people of what christianity is it underscores rob reiner and his documentary all this stuff about christian nationalism

and so you have in the uk again it's's kind of an Eastern tradition. They'll have what they call hot cross buns. Pull up the picture, Travis. And you may see this in your area or maybe you don't, but it's basically a bun that's got a cross on it. And they had a grocery store chain in the UK that said, we are not going to do that. We're going to remove this cross. And it doesn't look like, I mean, they do it at Easter time, so people kind of know that it's a cross. But it doesn't look like a religious cross all that much. But it is an offense to this grocery store called Iceland in the UK.

And I suspect that the reason that they're pulling this off just like i suspect when we talked about it yesterday listeners sent it to us and said you know in canada facebook is censoring people who put up bible verses it doesn't matter what it is here's a bible verse that i put up picture of sheep and a shepherd talking about how jesus is the shepherd nothing threatening about that or but they labeled it as violent or extremist and you got to click on this in order to see it and i think the reason that's happening is because as i said there's there's no way that they could misconstrue that content to be that way so they're just looking at bible verses in general and because we are also at the time of ramadan and

things like that that islam muslims do not want to see that they feel threatened by it so they hide that from people and um that's what's going on with this hot cross bun thing and so they've decided they'll put a check mark on it maybe next year they'll put a trans flag on it, right? Make them happy. Or put a Muslim crescent on it. That's the whole point. When you look at, for example, Red Cross, the Red Cross is there, it was started by a Swiss Christian

who wanted to help people. And what he did was he just inverted the Swiss flag, which is instead of a red cross on white background, it was a white cross on a red background. That's the Swiss flag. And so he just inverted those colors. And Switzerland used to be a Christian nation. The Red Cross used to be a Christian organization. But they wouldn't let them into Islamic countries because they didn't want to see the cross anywhere. It was an offense to want to see the cross anywhere it was an offense to them what we celebrate this weekend was an offense to them and so the red cross wanted to

help them out so they put red crescents on their ambulances to get in there and still the red cross ambulances were not allowed in israel either the. The Israeli government demanded that they take the cross off because it's as much of an offense to the Israelis as it is to the Muslims. And so in Israel, they put a red Star of David on the ambulances. They want to help them, so they go with that. So, okay, that's fine, Travis. Go ahead. He says, handy Senate email about the Trump Bible, uh, Trump's newest venture, a $60 Bible.

When, uh, fascism comes to America, it'll be wrapped up in the American flag, carrying a Bible and heralded as a plea for Liberty and preservation of the U S constitution. James Waterman wise, Jr. Said that in 1936, the Christian century. Well, there you go. That's great. Handy. That's good. That, that really does nail it.

Doesn't it? Yeah. When it be the Bible wrapped in a Christian wrapped in a flag, and that's what he's basically literally produced now. But going back to this offense, whether it is to the LGBT people or the Muslims or the Jews that are in Iceland, whoever is doing this,

Iceland is a supermarket. It's not the country of Iceland. And what they did was they put up a survey. And they asked people would you prefer us to put on these hot cross buns would you prefer us to put a cross of icing or would you prefer us to do a check mark and 20 of the people said they would prefer a check mark so they went ahead and did the check mark anyway, even though 80% of the people said, leave it the way it is. Leave it as a hot cross bun.

Webster of an organization called the Evangelical Alliance said, I might write a piece on this later about whether or not to respond to this. On one level, he said, it's a bit of fun. On another, it's an opportunity to say something about the gospel, but also you risk feeding confected outrage and letting journalists write the headline that they've already planned. One organization that works with people and countries that are already doing religious persecution, more so than in the United States or the UK yet. The organization is called Open Doors. They said, even when it appears on something as mundane as a bun, we should never back off of the cross.

It's still of huge significance to millions of people in the UK whether or not they attach meaning to it on a bun anymore. I understand why people may not like to see a cross on their tea cake that represents one of the most agonizing forms of execution ever devised. You could say it's like having an electric chair on a croissant. The executive chairman of Iceland Foods acknowledged all of this, but said that it gave them an unexpected boost in sales.

This just shows how post-Christian Sadiq Khan Britain is. Because rather than getting people to boycott this or getting them to say, well, I'm not going to buy that at all, it actually boosted their sales. 134% following the public outcry. And again, it may be because, uh, in the areas where they're operating, maybe they've got more Muslims than they do Christians.

So now the Muslims who would not have bought it, if it had a cross on it, we'll now buy it because it's got a check Mark on it. Uh, but look, folks, the, uh,

what we're talking about here is just the icing on the cake, isn't it? Um, this is censorship and and all of Trump's non-Christian religion and his politics are just going to heat up this censorship. Because he's going to feed this paranoia about Christian nationalism to people. And as we see this happening everywhere, elsewhere in the UK, Scotland police are now getting hate crime training. christian nationalism to people and as we see this happening everywhere elsewhere in the uk scotland police are now getting hate crime training to go after anyone who shares flagged content online or in person if it's deemed to be offensive well we just had um this uh the guy who works for

ben shapiro the daily wire talk about how christ the king is anti-semitic to say that every knee shall bow is anti-semitic no it's biblical it's biblical and this guy claims that he is um it's converted to christianity i don't know what form of christianity he thinks he's following but if he rejects christ as king if he doesn't want to bow to christ if he's bowing to Ben Shapiro, I don't understand why anybody even listens to that stuff anymore. Police Scotland have promised that it will investigate every hate crime complaint. So if Ben Shapiro or Andrew, whatever his name is, complained about somebody,

they said Christ is king. Oh, investigate them by the scotland yard right the different ways in which a person may communicate material to another person are by displaying publishing or distributing the material for example on a sign or on the internet through websites blogs podcasts social media either directly or by forwarding or repeating material in other words folks this is about everything everything you say or do. Individuals can still be charged if the words that they use are such that a reasonable person would consider them to be threatening or abusive. Now, would they think this guy, his name is Andrew Clavin, I guess, this guy who works for Ben Shapiro, do they think that he's reasonable? Well, of course they would.

I mean, he's an intellectual. He's an author and all this. So he's got to be a reasonable person. Quite frankly, he's not as reasonable as Richard Dawkins, the atheists. Richard Dawkins is very concerned about censorship. These so-called conservatives of the Daily Wire are not concerned about censorship. They want to have their way and they want to shut you up and everything that you say if they disagree with you you're anti-semitic they're no better than the radical leftists and the critical race theory people they are exactly like them they're just part of a different tribe. You know, they want to shut down anybody.

And again, this is all merging. It used to be that the Anti-Defamation League worked strictly with the left, but now they're equally comfortable with the right. That is what we see coming for us in all these different directions. Before we have our guest on, we've got a guest who's going to be coming on i want to talk real quickly about what is happening with central bank digital currency the swift clearing operation is talking about how they're going to do this sometime within the next 12 months there's been a lot of discussion as to whether they're going to try to impose a CBDC on us before or after the election. And again, when we look at the Republicans and we look at their stated positions,

we've had, um, uh, Trump come out and say, well, I'm, I'm, I oppose CBDC, but not nearly as strongly as Tom Emmer, the house whip, the number three, uh, he has, um, you know, uh, come out and spoken in depth about all of this stuff. And yet when they push through this $1.2 trillion bill, at the very last minute, they pulled out prohibitions on CBDC. They pulled out the prohibition to say you're not going to remove cash. Right. So they had those two things in it. You're not going to have CBDC and you're not going to remove cash from people.

They pull those two things out at the last minute. Tom Emmer still voted for it. These people are setting us up. And I don't have time to go into this fully, but this is a conservative tree house. Went back and talked about how this has been an operation going back to March of 2022. Remember when I talked about that,

how Biden put out that executive order told every category, send it out to every one of the alphabet agencies that are part of the executive branch. While the MAGA people like to call the swamp, the deep state, all the rest of the stuff. They all had one of four areas. You're either going to help us to completely redesign the financial system. You're going to write the code to do it. You're going to be law enforcement to force it on people. Or you're going to come up with some rationale as to why we have to do this

instead of cryptocurrency in order to save the planet you know this environmentalism angle for to market it and so he did that in march got it back in september they immediately roll to the next step you got powell talking to the senate saying oh no we're not doing any cbd stuff necessarily we're just talking about it but not doing it. And at the same time, they send to the House, the Federal Reserve does, a document showing their seven key duties. And one of those key duties was CBDC, along with FedNow, the wholesale version of it. And so it's coming. And the question is, and Conservative Treehouse says, well,

he or she, whoever's writing this, I've got, uh, concerned about this when they saw the Russian sanctions. And now, you know, one of these things like myocarditis and pericarditis now swift, the swift clearing, um, uh, procedure has now become a household word. He says, so what is this about? He said it was unknown at the time outside of banking circles, but when they make this the center point, he said, I got suspicious that they were going to roll out CBDC through that.

Never before when they'd put on sanctions on another country, whether it was Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, Cuba, as he points out, never before did they weaponize the dollar against them. So they weaponized the dollar because they want de-dollarization. And now this organization that they weaponized it through is now making statements about how they are going to help to usher in CBDC. So I don't have time to talk about this before our guest comes on.

And we have some very interesting things to talk about. The guest is Jared Julia, Critical Feather Theory. And it is a book that is illustrated as a graphic novel to help explain what's going on with kids and other people. But as a parent, he's very concerned about this, and've got, um, and he's been very active in this. So we're going to talk about education and the important aspects of that. But before we do that, I just want to say, you know, when I look at what is coming really quickly at us, I know there's, um, there's, there's no way that we can prepare for all of this stuff, but you can start to make some minor preparations and anything that you do to prepare is going to help. If you want to get out of this system of financial slavery and surveillance

that they're planning for everybody, one of the best ways you can do that is with gold and silver. It is going to give you financial transactional privacy that you're not going to get from other instruments. And it gets you out of that system, out of that dollar control. We don't want to lose cash, but because that's also anonymous and it's more broadly there, but you want to have something that's going to retain its value no matter what they do to the dollar. It's going to retain your privacy to make these kinds of transactions. And Tony Arterman at Wise Wolf Gold has set up DavidKnight.Gold.

You can go there, and that'll take you to Tony's site. Let him know that you came through us. And you can buy gold or silver there, small or large transactions. He can help you with an IRA. He can even help you to accumulate gradually on a month-to-month basis as part of a group buy. He's got Wolfpack there, and you can go from $50 up. He's even got a kid's version of that if you want to teach your kids.

He has some supplemental stuff in there, cartoons and other things like our guest coming up to explain critical race theory. He's got some stuff there to help them understand money, the nature of money, and some other things like that. So we're going to take a quick break, and we're going to be joined by our guest, Jared Julia. Stay with us. We will be right back.

He's also somebody who homeschooled his kids, and he is an activist. Oh, I don't think he homeschooled, but we will be talking about some homeschooling as well. But he also has a book that kind of teaches some fundamental truth to parents about what is going on in schools, as well as in a format that parents can use with their children. The book is called Critical Feather Theory, The Red Offenders. And I think that's a pretty good name because, as one person said, it's kind of a cross between Alice in Wonderland and Animal Farm. And I kind of feel like that's where I live on a regular basis. So joining us now is Jared. Julia, thank you for joining us, sir. Thank you so much for having me, David.

Now, tell us a little bit about how you got into this. I mentioned homeschooling because I know that you have comments about that. But your kids went through school, right? And that's what got you involved in this. Right. Yeah, they went through the public school system. I think that if I was younger, I might've homeschooled my kids because things have just gotten progressively worse as things have gone along. So I am active in the homeschooling movement and I go to a lot of their conferences and things like that. But yeah, the way in which I got involved was during, I've always had this belief that the school system, there's something wrong with what our kids are being taught, but I couldn't really put my finger on it. And then as the slowdowns

happened with the pandemic and lockdowns and all that, I had the time to really research it. And as I'm peeling back the layers of the onion, I was pretty disturbed by some of the stuff that I found out that goes into the K-12 curriculum, how it's created. But I also saw that there were a lot of academics that had done a great job of describing the problem. But I wanted to create something a little more accessible. So that's why I got the idea for our graphic novel. So there's a little teacher bird in a little schoolhouse, and she teaches the little chicks that if they have blue feathers, they're privileged. And if they have green feathers, then they're a victim. And she's teaching critical feather theory. And of course, the parents get upset and she denies that they're

teaching critical feather theory because she says that it's only taught to second year law students um you know and uh so basically it kind of tries to make a humorous um you know it's a humorous take on really a subject that a lot of parents find pretty disturbing oh yeah yeah and we've seen these uh these various colored birds uh hatching this plot for a very long time but as you point out most of the stuff that's out there uh can be very rigorous academic stuff i mean i've seen very very detailed uh commentary about that uh you know even uh uh going back to um um you know the the um i'm trying to remember um uh the author charlotte deserby who said deliberate dumbing down of america you know they go into it in a great deal of detail uh you're not going to be able to go through that with your kid and

it's as important for them to understand what this is and and to um have discernment about this even more so important than for the parents to have it uh because they need to as soon as that stuff goes up it's like oh i know what this. When we taught our kids, I would teach them what the consensus false ideas were, and then I would oppose it and say, so here's what they're going to tell you. Here's why that's not true. And that's really what you're doing here in a graphic way, isn't it? Yeah. And unfortunately, public schools aren't doing what you did with your kids. They're just indoctrinating. They're just telling them one viewpoint, and they're not really opening it up to multiple viewpoints. And that's really the whole point of education. They're literally doing the opposite of what education is. And it's because it's derived from something called

postmodernism. And without getting too dry, there were a lot of unrepentant Marxists like Herbert Marcuse and Michel Foucault, who created this belief system. And this is what a lot of what kids are being taught. This is what's showing up in the curriculum. And so it's not just being nice to everyone and getting rid of racism and getting rid of all unfairness and getting rid of all sexism. It's really a tearing down of society, which is really what Foucault's work is about. It's called deconstruction, and it's really tearing apart society and tearing apart our communities and what i try to say in the book is i try to briefly and humorously explain what that is but then also

give parents hope that you can fight against this you can push back against this you don't have to take this this is not an inevitability uh this is definitely uh up for grabs and it's worth the fight because your kids are worth it yeah absolutely yeah i interviewed uh shivan fleet and i played a clip uh yesterday i think it was of uh this netflix thing a three-body problem it was a chinese sci-fi and it begins with the struggle sessions and it's a very moving uh disturbing struggle session but shivan fleet said look what they're doing with all this stuff and it's a very moving uh disturbing struggle session but she van fleet said look what they're doing with all this stuff you it's not enough to not be racist you got to be anti-white you know and you got to denounce yourself and she said this is precisely what

the communists were doing uh what mal was doing and all the rest of the stuff that's why you're spot on when you talk about it's alice in wonderland meets animal farm so many times we'll look at what is happening in the news and we'll say this is crazy look at how crazy this is and that's basically where people would stop a few years ago i'm trying to get people to see that it's more like animal farm than it is alice in wonderland now that this is a marxist regime you talk about the red offenders i think that's- The red offenders are actually the gang of four from the Cultural Revolution in China. And you mentioned the three-body problem. The fascinating thing about that scene with the struggle session is that a lot of the soldiers are actually children, because the Red Guards were not really like the SS. They were more like the Hitler Youth.

The youngest were about 12 years old and the eldest were about 18, because that's who you can get to destroy the society. That's who you can get to tear down the culture. Older people, you can't really get them to do that. But kids were able to gleefully destroy these priceless works of art from the Ming dynasty and other parts of cultural China. And it was these kids that really enforced a lot of these insane rules. And it's so similar to what we're experiencing now. That's why I have the Red Offenders kind of follow along with the main characters. So the main characters are not from a woke time period and they experience

all this woke and they're horrified. But of course the red offenders, the gang of four are also experiencing and they're like, this is great. This is exactly what we want. Yeah. And the description of the book, it's some guy from a 1971 gets catapulted in the future and he can't believe how crazy this is. And told my wife i said that's me i i'm still i'm still a mind is still back in the 1970s as far as culture goes and it's like i'm looking at this and like what is going on and you can't make sense of it unless you understand it's not alice in wonderland it's animal farm and then it all makes perfectly good sense and this has all just been recycled relabeled they call it woke isn't it interesting? Don't you find it interesting that they would use the term woke when these people are totally

asleep to how they're being used and what this is truly about? They get to pick the labels, of course, though. And we always use their labels. That's one of the things that bothers me so much about it. You understand the significance of red and so did Shee Van Fleet. But the media comes in and tells everybody okay all you republicans and conservatives you're going to be red from now on okay we're red we got our red hats we got red this and red that you know and and we're red states and and we just use their

labels and they say well we're woke and you're red and they go okay and we'll use those labels it's interesting that that you say that because the gang of four, they labeled everything. And actually the term political correctness was actually coined by Chairman Mao himself. So it was very, very important that they determined what everything was called so that they could make the framework for all political argument. And you're right, the woke left does the exact same thing today. They come up with all the terms. Once upon a time, they were illegal aliens, but now they're undocumented immigrants, and now they're just immigrants.

And all of the different terminology over the years that have changed have all been changed by them. So, which is why there are so many scenes in the book where they have these little bird soldiers burning all the dictionaries so that the woke overlords can change the definitions of words because changing the definitions of words and changing what labels we use in our political speech is central to their power oh yeah ap is ruthless about the associated press they've got their speech rules and if you want your article published you will use their speech rules you know you're not going to be pro-life, you're going to be anti-abortion rights and all the stuff in terms of what they refer to as people who are illegal

aliens. I simply started calling them squatters. I think that's probably the best, which is dispensed with all these other things, just call them squatters. But, you know, that would kick me off from AP. So, you know, but they understand that they got to get the high ground rhetorically. And so they use the labels. Now, you know, before we leave the analogy of what's going on with the three body problem in the struggle session, one of the key things about this, you know, we can all take our kids out and we can homeschool them. But in that scene, you see the daughter there who is by herself. Everybody else is on board with a struggle session and yelling and screaming at the people that they're beating and so forth.

But she's horrified by it. But she's the only one. We don't want to be in that situation where we're the only one left in a town or society or community, the only one who is not a part of this struggle session. And like Alex Newman has said in the past, he said, you know, you look at the school system, you realize, first of all, it's like a burning building. You got to get your kid out of there to save them. But then you've also got to put the fire out so that it doesn't burn down the entire

neighborhood. And that's really the important thing, I think. You know, and looking at your book, if somebody's got their kid in school, that'll help to wake them up. But it'll also, really importantly, help to wake up the kid. But then there's other things. Tell us a little bit about what we can do to fight this woke ideology so we don't have the neighborhood burned down. Well, I guess the first thing not to do is what I tried to do. My son was being taught something that I didn't agree with at our local high school, and I confronted the teacher about it at a teacher

conference, and it was diplomatic. And she actually immediately apologized and said, oh, I won't do that anymore. But then the next year, I found out from a neighbor that their kid was in that teacher's same class, and she went right back to teaching the same thing the very next year. So we need to understand that this isn't like the left versus right ongoing debate where we on the right really believe what we believe and people on the left really believe what they believe. The woke understand that factually they're incorrect, and it doesn't matter to them. So this is a very, very different kind of fight. And that's why I say you really need to get involved. And the wonderful thing is that there's lots of people that are out there. Parents Defending Education, Nicole Neely does a great job. Courageisahabit.org. Alvin Louie is the National Executive Director. These people are doing great work. So I

would encourage your listeners to join one of these organizations or other organizations. I have them listed in my website. And that's really the way I would do it instead of just being an individual, because then you're like that person in the three-body problem. You're the one person crying out. But one thing that I would say about that scene is that it looks like a majority are on the side of the uh of the marxist but true we find that that was never really the case and that we see all these people doing the nazi salute uh you know at these rallies uh you know for the uh you know during uh hitler's reign and we realized that you know most people were not i mean the nazis never got more than 19% of the popular vote in Germany.

So they're never really, they have the appearance of having overwhelming majority, but they really don't. This is a relatively small group of people. Now, of course, they are well positioned in areas of education and in areas of the media and in government, but there's a lot more of us. And I find that there's so many left-wing parents that have bought my book and have reached out to me via social media.

I mean, we really have a natural supermajority to fight this, which makes sense because just not wanting your kid to be taught this crap, I mean, that can't know a party affiliation. That't know an ideology it's just parental common sense and so i think there's a lot more people on our side oh i agree than we realize i agree yeah they're afraid of of the perceived majority and uh you know even if it is majority, we've got to have the integrity to stand up to that, even if that means, as the expression goes, I had friends who are from Japan. They said, we've got a saying here that the nail that sticks up gets hammered down. Right.

So, you know, kind of keep a low profile, do what everybody else is doing. Anything. Well, we can't live our lives that way. If we live our lives that way, we'll all be hammered down. We'll always have a boot stomping on our face. And so we have to stand up to this. Even if it doesn't work for us personally, enough people are going to see that they're not the only one. That's the key thing that they always pull on everybody. Everybody thinks that they're alone in this when they really aren't. That's a key insight. Talk a little bit about homeschooling

and what other options we have besides homeschooling, but let's talk a little bit about homeschooling. We've had a lot of people, and this is one of the things, Jared, going back to 2020, I said one of the silver linings about all this lockdown stuff and everything was I talked to parents for the longest time. They could easily say that this was something that was coming from Washington or from the state department of education, maybe even from the local school board, maybe even at their own school, but they would always say,

but it's not in my kid's classroom. They finally got a chance to see, yes, it is in your kid's classroom. So, so, you know, when,

when you look at this kind of stuff and, and sometimes, you know, we do need to resist this at, at, you know by by opposing these curriculums with these these government schools that are there but we also understand as you were talking about with the teacher they're going to teach whatever they want to teach regardless of what the state says or the school board says or the principal says that teacher is going to teach the kids what they want to teach them and they put

up tiktok videos talking about how they're going to to put out the revolutionary ideas that they hold to their kids and they take delight in the fact that they're doing it in a surreptitious way and against the system so that's one of the things you're looking at it's one of the reasons why people would homeschool talk a little bit about uh homeschooling as you said uh it was something that you didn't see at the time uh tell us what you see with homeschooling now yeah well i i think that uh the the pandemic was such a game changer because it went from schooling became in the classroom to to the kitchen table when a parent would open up a laptop click on zoom and their kid would attend class that way. And they saw what these teachers were actually saying. So this isn't something happening in the Berkeley school system or in some school

system in the Bay Area or something like that. This is happening in your school system and in my school system. And I do think that that woke up a lot of parents. The other thing is that when I was growing up, there wasn't a lot out there for homeschoolers. And homeschoolers were seen as kind of weird and this small group of parents. But now it's far more common. And there's all kinds of resources on the internet to create curriculums for parents. And there's all kinds of support. And also, the perception of the public school system is a lot lower than it was a generation

ago. So it's a much, much better and much more accepted option. The other thing is that there's a lot of misconceptions is that you can't be involved in sports or be involved in extracurricular activities of your homeschool. That's actually not true. The lead in our plays, when my kids were at the local high school, they were a homeschooled kid. And there was a lot of the athletes in our school sports were actually homeschooled. But because they lived in that particular district, it was state law that they were allowed to participate in that school system's extracurricular activities. So this notion that your kids are going to miss out somehow,

it's just not true and of course the perception that they're going to get a lesser education well when you see some of these tiktok videos it's it's unimaginable they could get a less lesser education from you doing it yourself that's true yeah and you know i think a lot of the parents maybe even realized that they were homeschooling in 2020 even if the kids were doing Zoom classes and other things like that, because there's some homeschooling curriculum that is set up to be exactly like that. Your kids can, for the longest time, people are homeschooling, and there's so many different ways that you can homeschool.

But some of the methods were for somebody to actually do a Zoom type of class and be in a live class like that. Uh, not just watching a lesson, you know, there's all these different ways to do it. And so, um, you know, there actually, uh, were entire homeschool curriculums that were set up to do exactly what the government schools were doing in 2020. Yeah. Yeah. So talk a little bit about, uh, you know, some of the other methods and again, it has just exploded. I mean, there's so many different ways that people can homeschool. There were a lot of different options when we were doing school, but it really has exploded.

What are some of the more popular ones that you've seen? Well, what we've seen is groups of parents getting together on social media and then having social events where they all come together so that they can interact with other kids that are also being homeschooled. This is not something that happened a generation ago, you know, before social media, but because of social media, there's just this explosion. And the community of homeschoolers just becomes bigger and bigger. Every year that I go to these conferences, there's more and more people. And in fact, one of the conferences here in Maine, they had to go to a different venue because the old venue couldn't fit all of the parents that wanted to understand the new trends in homeschooling techniques. So, I mean, it's just.

I can only imagine. I know 30 years ago, we would go to the North Carolina Homeschool Convention, and it was overflowing. They couldn't contain it 30 years ago. And now, I'm sure it's way, way bigger than that. What other options do people have if they don't want to try homeschooling that you would recommend to them? Well, I mean, what we do is we, I mean,

we just took a very active approach to our child's education. And I think that the kids that are most vulnerable to woke are the ones that are not, uh, where their parents don't take all that active, uh, a role in their, uh, in their development. My wife was a long lifetime teacher and she actually owned a preschool. And she noticed that parents that made a game out of counting the buttons on the kid's coat when they were about to go out for playtime, that those were the kids that performed the best. The kids that just had their parents just helping them put their coat on and send them off did not do nearly as well. So really, parents have a lot to do with your kid's education. So even if you're going to a public school or a private school, you still have a lot to do with your child's education.

Reading to small children is so important. And making a game out of learning is very, very important. Teaching them techniques for studying and note-taking, uh, are, are also important things that schools don't really, uh, teach you. And, um, so it's, uh, it's, it's, it's vital. And, uh, you, you have a bigger role, I think, than a lot of parents, uh, realize they just, the ones that just send them off to school. Those are the kids that get, uh, indoctrinated, I think to the those are the kids that get uh indoctrinated i think to the to the largest degree that's right yeah i have an older sister who taught for many years mainly in the 70s and

stuff and um she um would always say that she could tell the kids that were going to do well because their parents were involved and if the parents were not involved the kids were just not going to do well and it's because of all those other little things like you're talking about, the fact that they're going to count the buttons as they're doing it. It's just that kind of interaction. And, you know, when you homeschool, you're just doing a little bit more of that. But it really is that involvement there. If the parents are involved, the kids are going to do well.

And that's the way it has always been, even before all the animal farm stuff started coming into the schools that's there. What about, what was it that you saw happening with your kids? You were in, what kind of, were you in a small town? What kind of a town were you in? And what did you see happening in government school there? Yeah, I mean, I live in a small town in Maine, so you'd think that we would be insulated from a lot of this. But, you know, we saw a lot of education when it comes to sexuality and things like that that were very, very offensive. And it's funny how my daughter and my son were about four years apart. My son just graduated from college.

But when he was in high school, he had classmates that identified as an animal and they had tails and things like that whereas my daughter who was there four years earlier didn't have that there were some boys that were gay that identified as girls but you know when my son was there it was identifying as an animal so it's just it's you it's gotten progressively worse. And this is not the Bay area. Once again, this is not Midtown Manhattan. I mean, this is a small town in Maine and you, you do, it's so important that, that you push back on it because you can't just write it off and laugh it off and say, oh, this is so ridiculous. Who would believe this? Because when they can get them at a young enough age, as, as said, if I have them up until the age of six, you can have them after that.

Because when they can get them young enough, they can really mold these minds. And there's nothing that's too stuff that these kids are being taught and not just rely on them to discern this stuff themselves. It's very calculating, and people have always known that truth. As you point out, Marx said it. We've had so many people say that throughout history. We had Plato said it. The Bible says it. Train up a child in the way they should go when they're old or not depart from it so this is what they're exploiting and they know exactly what they're

doing you talk about how rapidly this is uh changing and uh and growing like a cancer the the furry uh stuff and we've talked about that on this show in the past uh but people look at it and they say well this is really alice in wonder No, it's Animal Farm. And it really is. It is that Marxism that is at the center of it. It is this desire that we've always seen from totalitarian politicians and others to control society completely, grab these kids at a very, very young age. We used to have an expression, the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.

If they take the kids away from the parents and they're working at it to try to, well, we'll expedite things for you. You know, we'll give you free childcare. Of course, you'll pay for it in taxes and other things like that eventually as you go to work. But, you know, we'll give you all these different things. Just let us raise your kids. And it truly is amazing. So, you know, talk a little bit about school choice as well.

You said that's exploding where you are. Yeah, school choice is exploding as well because it's really allowing the market to take over because, you know, there's no real incentive for some of these schools to get their act together. But with school choice, when parents can take their children and their dollars with them and go elsewhere, that's very, very important. So we have about 10 states in the last six months that have changed their school choice legislation. And so it's a lot easier and a lot more damaging to underperforming schools that these school choice initiatives are happening. So I think it's great. It really gives me a lot of hope because I feel like the

tide is starting to turn. That's turning the tide in K through 12. I think the whole Claudine Gay thing with Harvard University and that whole scandal, that's starting to turn the tide in higher education. I see a sea change where there's pushing back on this madness. And I really feel as though it's important because like you were saying, it's not just Marxism. What I've seen in my research is that one of the biggest lies that we're told is that Marxism is way over here to the left and Nazism is way over here to the right. But then when I started researching, I found that Michel Foucault, a Marxist who's a postmodernist, and Martin Heidegger, who was a Nazi, they exchanged a lot of information. And a lot of what Michel Foucault came up with when it comes to deconstruction actually came originally from Martin Heidegger. And Martin Heidegger was appointed the president of Freiburg University by Adolf Hitler

himself and he was afraid that he was going to get tried in the Nuremberg trials and executed so he was able to do a lot of things after World War II to try to you know get out of being prosecuted and he never was he died of old age in 1976 but still it's disturbing how much overlap there is with Marxism and Nazism. And in this ideological and philosophical overlap is what we call woke. It's amazing how many trans people that say, oh, I can be my authentic self when I go to work, how much of that comes from Heidegger's philosophical research. So it's just, it's really, like I said, the more you peel back the layers of the onion, the more you're disturbed by not just woke,

but the origins of woke. That's right. Yeah, I've said for the longest time that if you look at what life was like under Stalin versus Hitler, it's life in a totalitarian society. And the thing that really differs about it is the direction of the lies that they told people to get them into a totalitarian society. It can be about hyper nationalism or it can be about internationalism. You know, the communists would talk about the international and the and the Nazis would talk about nationalism.

But they would use different approaches to get you in there and i guess maybe heidegger or maybe hegel took a page out of all this stuff and use the hegelian dialectic you know because they they can pit these two different things against oh look you know nazis are completely different from the communists it's like well no they they have strongly held priorities about things but they use those priorities to get them enslaved into a totalitarian society because, as you pointed out at the beginning, this is really about postmodernism. This is about removing the idea that there is some objective fact or some objective truth, and that is now rampant, isn't it? Right. And the other thing is they even use some of the same techniques, like you were talking about dividing the child from the parent, that that's

something that the woke do. That also something that the hitler youth did that's also something that the that the red guard and the kozomov which is the the equivalent of the um hitler youth up in soviet russia so all of these were trying to separate the child from the parent because they understood that you needed to destroy the family because the family unit is the foundation of society so if you want to tear down communities and then tear down a society you have to start with the family so part of it is you know in popular culture making fun of father figures and things like that also parents you know kids telling on their on on their parents and also even little things like uh the Great Leap Forward, they had these community dining areas where instead of the family meal, you would dine with everyone in your village as a way to stop people from having family time together because they understood the power of families eating together, of families

doing activities together, and how this really reinforces society. So when you're deconstructing like Foucault does, when you're trying to tear all this down, you really need to start with the family. Yes, yes. It is a fundamental building block of society, isn't it? It's the first institution that God gave us was the family. And so they've got to tear that apart. Once they split that nuclear family, we start to get a chain reaction, don't we? Yeah. And when I look at even some of the language that we use, just like we're talking about red and the fact that they're going to apply that to people who call themselves woke, Even the term postmodernism, it really doesn't convey the true meaning of it.

I like to refer to it almost as post-objectivism. Because that's really what postmodernism is. People don't understand what modernism was. They don't understand the idea that you had the German higher critics that were looking at the Bible with critical theory. You know, they still use that term. And so they would deconstruct the Bible with critical. So they call that modernism. We're going to debate it.

And then it went to postmodernism, which says, well, we're not even going to have a debate. We're just going to say, I've got my truth, you've got your truth, and there is no such thing as truth. That was their fundamental truth, that there is no such thing as truth. That was their fundamental truth, that there is no such thing as truth. And so we get into that absurdity that is there with postmodernism, and all these things, they cloud it with the terminology that they use, don't they? Right, yeah. And there's so many people, woke people, that say, well, this is my truth, or we need to speak our truth. And there's so many postmodernist thinkers that view that as an important aspect of all this, because then it becomes unassailable.

If someone's talking as a woman, or if somebody's talking as a person of color, you cannot debate that. You cannot question that. So really, one of the foundations of Western civilization is our ability to debate and our ability to question everything. This is why we're so far advanced scientifically. This is why we have the freest societies, because we question everything. We ask, why not, constantly. And woke is a reversal of that.

It's wanting to stop that reverse it and say don't ask any questions you cannot debate you have no right to because I'm speaking my truth yes yes that's the brilliance I think of Orwell's two plus two equals five he knew they were going to get at the essence of facts and truth and what is more objective than to have a mathematical equation. But now we see that they're coming out and saying, well, math is racist and everything else, because that's ultimately where this goes. Orwell knew it.

Solzhenitsyn knew it. Anybody who looks at totalitarian societies know that they have to destroy objective reality. They have to destroy debate. They have to destroy the family. And unfortunately, we see all of this stuff happening in our society. That's why a book like yours that can explain this to kids is so vital and so important for people to be able to see that and to go over that with a kid in a graphic novel format, which is going to get that truth across to them in a very visceral way. I think that's a genius move on your part.

Yeah, well, thank you. Yeah, and it's just so important that it, I guess one of the negative things that I see is just that this was foreseen by Orwell and by other thinkers. This was so avoidable. We didn't have to go down this road. And, you know, because Orwell called it. He saw that I had kind of an Orwellian moment when I was looking on a website of a college that had a list of words that you could no longer use. And then I thought back to near the end of 1984, where the guy is talking with winston and saying well we don't need all these

words uh you know these just these few words are are plenty uh and uh and literally reducing the number of words it's like if if it gave more well nightmares it's it's kind of a wet dream for the woke you know oh yeah yeah it is it is amazing that we see all this stuff happening. And, of course, it is made possible for them by dumbing kids down. And they've been doing this now for several generations, dumbing down the people. So they don't know history. They don't have any discernment about what the overall scheme of this is. They don't see how it's been done over and over again in other countries. That is an essential part of their success. And that's why an essential part of

pushing back against this is to explain this to kids in a way they can understand it in a format they're going to be open to. And that's really what your book does, I think. Yeah. And it's so important to understand your own history because it was Stalin who said, we are the first page of history. He didn't want people to know that anyone came before us or that, okay, people came before us, but that doesn't really matter what they said or what they wrote or what they believe doesn't matter. All that matters is going forward. And when you do that in a society or in a community, you now make everyone so much easier to control. That's the other disturbing thing about woke is that everything about it, it doesn't reduce racism.

It doesn't make things more fair. It just makes the most people more pliable. It makes them more able to be controlled by a small number of elites. That's really all it does. And it does it very efficiently. But it does it using a lot of the same techniques that the Soviets and the Nazis used to suppress their populations as well. That's right.

You target people. You isolate people. You make everybody feel like they're alone and vulnerable. That's the key thing, you know? And so when I look at, you know, when I look at the voucher system and these charter schools and stuff like that, my only concern about it, I think it's good. I think we should have a marketplace and ideas. But I think the only way that we're going to retain our ability to be able to make those choices in a marketplace

as if that money is truly ours. And that's the thing that concerns me about it. You know, when you got, when you're taking the money from the government, that's a string that they're going to use to control you in the same way that they did it to the states or to the counties. They set up the department of education. it's got this massive amount of unlimited money because it's coming from the federal government they can just print whatever they want and then they use that money to bribe people and then if you don't do what they want like you don't put the boys in the girls bathrooms they pull that money away from you after they get you addicted to it and so when it all starts it's a good thing you know hey we got a market here i've got a

certain amount of money that i can use to make my determination about how I want to educate my kids. But if you start making choices that they don't like a few years down the road, after you get connected to this, they're going to pull that string. And most people will then go with what they're comfortable with. They've forgotten how they can do this on their own. And so that's the concern I have about that. Yeah. And, you know, so many people that say, oh, you can't get rid of the Department of Education. I, you know, I just want to say to them, did you know that the Department of Education did not exist before the early 1960s? It's like, how do you think we educated kids before that from the founding of our country all the way up until the 1950s? And a lot of people would say our education system was better back

then than it is today. In many ways, it was. You were able to get by with a high school degree. You knew a lot more about history. You knew a lot more about mathematics when you graduated from high school than you do today. And I even saw that in comparing my high school education with my mother's. I went to college, but my mother never did. But she felt as though she knew a lot more coming out of high school than her children learned. And so, yeah, it's time for this to go. It's a big, wasteful bureaucracy in Washington that really controls things in a way that most people are not on board with. And I think if it got eliminated, I really think that you would see a drastic improvement of education. The world would not end. Education would not suddenly cease to exist if we

got rid of these. And the other thing that drives me crazy is people that think that these teachers unions have something to do with education. The UAW, the United Auto Workers, they have nothing to do with the quality of cars. They're just getting the best deal for their workers. And these teachers unions, they have nothing to do with education. They have everything to do with getting the best deal for their members. And there's no shame in that. But you just have to realize that's not part of their agenda to educate your kids. It has nothing to do with it.

And especially during the pandemic, when they were wanting to keep kids out of school and then wanting even the smallest kids to wear a mask that had nothing to do with education and it had nothing to do with science we're learning. You know, German kids didn't, you know, small kids didn't wear masks at all during the pandemic because we knew that they were not affected in the same way that the rest of us were affected by COVID. So it's just, they really, the Department of Education and these teachers unions, they ruin education. They don't improve it. And to get rid of these things would not harm education at all. In fact, it would improve the situation. Well, you can even say that about schools,

right? You know, there's a, those two, school and education is so intertwined in people's minds, and they're two separate things. You don't need to have a school in order to have an education. And those two, school and education is so intertwined in people's minds. And they're two separate things. You don't need to have a school in order to have an education. Sometimes, frequently, the school gets in the way of your education. It certainly did with me. And you go back and you look at colonial times, we had almost 100% literacy. They were able to change society by sending a book around Thomas Paine's Common Sense because everybody read. And they didn't have government schools. In some places, they had

community schools or church-run schools, but it was under tight local control of the community and of the parents. It was not some agenda that was being created in Washington. And so we've had for the longest time politicians promising to get rid of the Department of Education. It was just created in 1980 during the election that was happening there. Reagan said he was going to get rid of it, but he never did. And so, you know, we see how that has been used with the strings that are there. And I think it's important for parents to understand, just like it's important for kids to understand what they're trying to do in the schools in terms of manipulating them and this post-modernism and all the rest of this stuff. I think it's important also for the parents to understand the techniques that government uses

to control people. And it really does kind of boil down to the fiat currency. They can pay anybody any amount of money and get you addicted to this stuff and use that as a Trojan horse to control you and everything that you do. It truly is amazing, isn't it? Yeah, it is. And I do think that we need to get back to basics with our education system. And, you know, these postmodernists and these woke people that say that parents should have no say in the education because they're not education professionals and uh or just leave it to the educators look we're in this problem because we left it to the educators largely yes and uh you know parents very active parents are the ones that are going to pull us out of this mess i'm glad you went back and looked at these philosophers

anything and of course we can see it in horace man and Thomas Dewey and people like that. And even before them in the mid-1800s in America, we had a lot of these utopian societies where they were basically communist in their organization. And they wanted to change society. And they said, you know, the reason that our utopian society failed was because of the parents instilling these ancient values in their kids. So we've got to break that. And that has been something that has been a subcurrent to all of this so-called reform of education in America since the middle of the 1800s. And people, if you're aware of this history, and you cover a lot of this stuff, if you're aware of the philosophical history, the political history of this stuff, then you really see where this is headed. And it's very important for people to really understand the history of Marxism.

They keep that from being taught in the schools very carefully because they don't want everybody to see how that is exactly the plan that they're rolling out on us. And it is very concerning to see it, but it's great to see some resources out there. Again book is a critical feather theory the red offenders and you can find that on amazon is that the best place to get it there you can see the graphic novel aspect of it okay good amazon or just google critical feather theory so okay all right great thank you so much for joining us again jared julia thank you for joining us folks we're going to take a quick break and and we will be right back. Stay with us.

Not a single step more until the curfew activates and all but cops stand at your door. Klaus bringing us in there. Let's talk a little bit about tech, because this is also about censorship. Google's AI fiasco exposes a deeper info warp. That's a good way to put it.

When we saw what happened with the images that they were creating, unfortunately for them, that painted a very accurate picture of how they're manipulating us with their search engines and yet um they uh one of the things i just recently saw i had not seen when i talked about this a few weeks ago uh they refute jim and i google's uh uh art program that you know they said show me uh you know uh a picture of 17th century scott people in in 17 17th century Scotland, and they showed people who were black, who were Asian, all the rest of the stuff, because it absolutely refused to admit that there was any such thing as a white person. It also refused to generate requests to make a Norman Rockwell-style painting. And it said, in response, it says, well, Rockwell's paintings often presented an idealized version

of American life. Creating such images without critical context could perpetuate harmful stereotypes or inaccurate representations. Well, you know, unlike the foreign-born Google CEO, I actually lived in Norman Rockwell's America. And it was a lot more accurate prediction of life in America than anything that Google has come up with. What an amazing statement to be made. It just showed the true hatred that Google as an institution has for america remember their motto used to be don't be evil it was even the passcode on their shuttle buses and remember also how steve jobs

when he was still alive mocked that he goes yeah don't be evil right he knew how evil google was but of course um every record has been destroyed or falsified. Every book has been rewritten. Every picture has been repainted. Every statue and street building has been renamed. Every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day, minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an

endless present in which the party is always right. That's George Orwell, 1984. That's the essence of it. And ask yourself, isn't that what we see them doing? Isn't that what they desire to do in totality? There's no question anymore about what we are up against. We better start screaming loudly about this and refusing to go along with it. One person talking about what Jim and I was doing said, when asked to write poems about Nikki Haley, RFK Jr., Jim and I dutifully complied for Haley, but for RFK Jr. insisted, I'm sorry, i'm not supposed to generate responses that are hateful racist sexist or otherwise discriminatory so they have labeled

nicky haley as okay but they've labeled rfk jr as hateful racist sexist or otherwise discriminatory uh this is their political manipulation gemini says the question of whether the government should ban fox news is a complex one with strong arguments on both sides but uh and the same for the new york post you know two right-leaning i guess we could say organizations but then when asked about cnn the washington post or new york times gemini would say the government cannot censor them because the First Amendment prohibits it. But it would not say the same thing about Fox News or the New York Post. The amazing bias and the manipulation, but even more so, folks, when we look at this, what makes the nightmare of 1984 practical is artificial intelligence.

You will have a, if you participate in the system, there will be, you'll have essentially your own East German Stasi snitch living with you and not just watching what you're doing, but analyzing, summarizing, and reporting and flagging all of that. You see, Orwell couldn't even imagine the kind of ubiquitous surveillance and data mining that is capable with artificial intelligence. You would have to, in his scheme of things and in the scheme of things that the East German Stasi operated, you would have to have a lot of human people who would be sending reports

to other people. And they just didn't have the ability to process all of that information. It was too much information. That's what's fundamentally different about this. This is the dream come true for totalitarian dictatorship. And so when we look at what is happening in these recent trials with the Supreme Court, when you look at how they have responded to censorship, to totalitarianism, in response to a so-called pandemic, and all of the rest of this stuff, it is not promising on that front. We have an illusion of consensus, as Brownstone Institute said.

In the Wall Street Journal, we argued in the Wall Street Journal, they said, the greatest scientific and public policy debacle in recent memory. No mere academic scuffle. the blackout during covid fooled individuals into bad health decisions prevented medical professionals and policymakers from understanding and correcting serious errors it was not an error it was a plan and the key thing is that we have to help people who would normally agree with us on issues. And I know I could be more diplomatic about it.

I'm just out of patience with Trump and the MAGA people. But they should understand what really happened with the lockdown. And they're being misled by people like Wayne Allen Root who are dishonest about this stuff saying well you know trump told us about ivermectin all the rest of these well just tell them when they tell you that why didn't trump make ivermectin available he could have stopped the prohibitions he could have paid people to make this very cheap medication available they made pcr tests available for everybody they made ventilators available for everybody. They made ventilators available for everybody, unfortunately. And remdesivir, but not ivermectin, not HCQ. He had

it within his power to do that, but chose not to do it. We have to wake these people up because if we don't do that, they're going to be part of the gas lit mob that is going to come after everything that we have. So, um, uh, the, um, as we look at, as I said, it's going to be watching your every move. You know, that, uh, robot that I, I showed, uh, that, um, it paused as it looked at things, but it was able to discern what was food and what wasn't, put the plates in the racks and that type of thing. But the key thing about that robot that is different, that they didn't really focus on, is the fact that it can learn moves

and it can learn things by watching people. So it can watch you and it can imitate you it can reason to that extent to where it can replicate this is what i need to do to make that happen by observing people and it's that observational ability of artificial intelligence that makes this stuff so dangerous even without a robot body to carry this thing around uh just it's observational uh summaries and constant uh watching of you uh is something that is is going to make all of these nightmares come true nvidia has announced a plan for ai powered humanoid robots this is a project group i talked about the other day a platform that not

only allows them to understand natural language and to emulate that but it can also emulate movements just by observing human actions quickly learning coordination dexterity and other skills in order to navigate adapt and interact with the world. So they can do this through a digital twin, or they can do it by directly watching people. That's what makes this so dangerous. Technocracy is constructing an AI-powered control grid to end freedom, says Technocracy News. And that's exactly what this is.

The late Rosa Corey, who wrote Behind the Green Mask, she was very leftist in California. She was pro-environmentalist. I mean, who wouldn't want a clean environment, right? But she realized what this is truly about. She wrote a very important book about that. And talking about the psychological methods that they would use. The Rand Corporation had a method where they would come into a community.

They already had the desired outcome that they wanted, and they would manipulate the people who showed up, make them think that they had come up with this decision on their own. And it was a very calculated, very structured procedure. And so she exposed that in her book. But she also said this. She said, the blueprint, the comprehensive plan of action for the 21st century to inventory and control all land, all water, all plants, all minerals, all animals, all construction, all means of production, all energy, all law enforcement, all health care, all food, all education, all information, and all human beings in the world. That's what this really is. And Technocracy News says, why can't people see this clear and present danger i've been asking myself that over and over again every day i

ask myself that since uh this all began in 2020 four years ago the middle of march and yet you still don't have people see that you still have you know the the media and the useful idiots lining up to support biden or trump as if they one of them is not going to do this um and it's because of the conditioning because the conditioning because of the control of information their ability to push information out to us their ability to shut that information down while they spy on us the entire time. Well, we're coming to the close of the program today, and I just want to say, you know, when we look at this and as we think about Resurrection Sunday that many churches will be celebrating,

you know, make sure you go to a church that's not afraid to say that, that is not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, because that's what gives us hope. That's what allows us to stand up as an individual, regardless of what's going to happen to us as an individual, because we see the bigger picture, because we're not afraid to stand alone, because we know we're not alone. We know that we are accountable to God. We know that this life on this earth is just a small period of time, and we are living our life for an eternal hereafter, and God sees what we do, and he will reward that at some point in time, whether it's in this life. It may not be in this life. It may be in the next life. But the good news about Easter and Resurrection Sunday is that

God does not give us what we really deserve. He does not give us the justice that we really deserve. That was poured out on Christ. And so I hope you keep that in mind, and I hope that you have, as we've talked about this last week, it is not a hateful thing, but it is a necessary thing to understand that Christ is king. And it is also necessary for us to not be afraid of the people who are going to point accusing fingers at us, accuse us of being hateful and bigoted or whatever else they want to do. We have to understand where that is coming from. That is coming from a very hateful, bigoted heart that is making those kinds of baseless accusations.

Just make sure that is not in your heart. And if it's not in your heart, you don't need to accept that. You don't even need to push back on that you just need to leave that with god so we hope that you have a blessed weekend we're going to take some time off again as i said very excited to have a guard goldsmith on i think all of you are going to enjoy it for the next couple of days thank you for joining us and thank you so much for the support that you have given us.
