15May24 Kharkiv: Russians Walked Right In — Defenses Ghosted by Ukrainian Corruption

Using free speech to free minds. You're listening to the David Knight Show. As the clock strikes thirteen, it's Wednesday, the fifteenth of May. You're of our Lord, twenty twenty four. Well, today we're going to begin with d banking in the United States and D banking of an investigative film producer that I interviewed a couple of months ago. She's looking into the entrapment by the FBI in this case of allegations of a kidnapping plot for Governor Whitmer.

And guess what, her bank has just shut down her bank account and seized her money. Oh, they're going to write her a check. The check is in the mail. She doesn't know when, but her entire bank account has been shut down, and we're going to talk about the implications of that. We're also going to talk today about while coming up in the fourth hour, we're going to be talking to Jay Warner Wallace, cold case detective who's

got a new book, The Truth and True Crime. I think you're going to find that very interesting, and also talk about what's going on in Ukraine. The Russian has just walked into a city because the money that we gave them the millions and millions of dollars that we gave them, somebody stole it and they didn't build any fortifications. Imagine that surprise you here we are.

So let's talk a little bit to begin with with what is happening with money and the threat to money. It's we've got a huge threat to the dollar, huge threat to the financial system, the commercial real estate crisis that Trump

kicked off with his lockdowns and that type of thing. And you know, so besides the inflation, besides the dollar, besides the economic hanging by a thread, all these different banks and commercial loans which can propagate through the economy, we also have the threat of CBDC, which is nothing that we've had before. We all, many of us have lived through the inflation, lived

through stagflation, and we know how bad that was. But we could, as I said, you know, it's four thirty usually a company by war. We could wind up with the Civil War, World War, Revolutionary war, all of these things all at once, and we could wind up with a perfect storm of a lot of different economic things. Now I have no funds, says Christina Urso, independent journalist. Bank of America abruptly terminated her

bank account because of the film. Evidently the FBI's involvement in Governor Whitmer's kidnapping case. The Bank of America is highly politicized. To say the least. Determination came without warning, without a clear explanation, even from the bank's risk department. The risk department decided that she was a risk. How's that? How is a documentary film producer a risk unless you don't the FBI that you work with all the time, that you worked with during January sixth, doesn't

like her for some reason. As I've said before, free speech is not a crime. Censorship is a crime, and censorship is used to cover up other crimes. Isn't it always use to cover up other crimes. It's a crime that she use to cover up other crimes, and now we have the banks doing that as well, she says. Despite her long standing relationship with Bank of America, access to her funds was denied and she was informed that a check for the account balance will be mailed to her, but no specification

as to when that would happen. She says. So Bank of America has decided to terminate their business relationship with me. Their risk department made this determination for literally no reason. I've been with them for years. This is clearly because my documentary, my critical reporting. Let me just tell you a personal

story about this as well. I've long imagined that when we tried to make the move, we nearly weren't able to complete the transaction because Bank of America they had a we had account with them, and they had really good interest rates at the time, and so we went decided to apply through them.

I think it was a blessing even though we were able to complete the transaction and get the move, but boy, it was hanging by a threat up to the very last minute, and I wound up having to pay a higher interest rate, quite a bit higher because interest rates had risen because they drunk their feet. But I worked a loan guy and he was, oh, yeah, yeah, no problem, Oh yeah, this is this is fine,

you know, no problem at all. And then they came up, as manager came up with some kind of flimsy excuse I forget now the details of it. And so we went back and we corrected that we and he encouraged it, said, resubmitted, I know this is going to go through. And he'd done this for a very long time. Oh yeah, I've

done all this stuff, and so that was part of the process. It wasn't just rejecting it, but you know, kind of he was certain that there was no problem with it. Oh yeah, this is piece of cake. And then they rejected that again and they didn't really have any reason for it, and then we had to start shopping around for another loan from another bank and start the whole process over again. And again we nearly lost this house here and really missed, nearly messed up the move. But the blessing

is that we don't have them holding a loan on our house. As corrupt as Bank of America is, so sometimes there's a silver lining and what kind puts us through, you know, it's like no, no, no, you don't want that. But it may have been God that was moving that, or it could have also been some people up in the risk management department,

right same department, the risk management department shut it down. Evidentally, it's the risk management department at Bank of America that's going to run the shutdown of people, the de banking of people, as we've seen in the UK and other places like that. And it doesn't always happen to the high profile

individuals either, you hear about it when happens high profile individuals. When what was it like twenty twenty three, I think it was that you had the PayPal taking down the guy that has the Free Speech Union in the UK Daily Skeptic, and he has a pretty high profile in the UK. He has access to some politicians, and when PayPal took him down, they started making

some noise about it and they restored him. Now, when they took me down in May of twenty twenty one, when our show was only about four or five months old, and at that point in time, virtually all of our support came through donations via PayPal, and they just abruptly canceled this and would not give me an answer, And I spent hours on the phone with a rep. He said, this is really strange. You know, I don't There's just there's no information here except a single order says shut down this

account. Never seen anything like this before, he said. He said, yeah, I understand, I understand what this is about, and I do know what it's about. I don't like it, but I know what it's about. So she said, they won't tell me why they won't allow me to access my bank account or have access to the funds. They're telling me I will get a check in the mail, but they won't say when I can expect it. I'm traveling at the end of this month for my documentary,

but now I have no funds. They wouldn't say when the check will come. I have a documentary film shoot in less than two weeks, and I have crew members I need to pay, etc. Etc. So Yeah, pretty amazing, isn't it. You know, By the way, let me just just put this in here now. You know, I was going to bring this up with politics coming up, but you know I was,

it's going to talk since it's looking more and more like Doug Berghram is going to be the VP for Trump. I had talked a couple of months ago about the connection between the two leading VP candidates for Trump, Gnome of South Dakota and Bergham of North Dakota, both of them governors of those respective states, And about there with this CO two pipeline, I mean, when you talk about green boondoggle, pure Bolshevik projects like that, this is the worst,

absolutely the worst. We're going to pay tremendous amounts of money to extract CO two from the air from some other processes, and we're going to pump it across the country. Then we're going to inject it in the ground in South Dakota and or North Dakota seriously, and pay tremendous amounts of money to these people running it. So the CEO of this Emperor has no closed boondoggle frequented mar Lago and of course Bergham and Gnome heavily involved in all this,

and Trump at the center of all of that. Yeah, I talked about that, and I want to go back, and so has Harry Hound as well. On Twitter, Harry Hound was talking about that and said back in February, Hey, I've tried to post information about this nexus between these four people, the CEO and the other ones, and it keeps blocking this on Twitter. Who's doing this? And so I went back to get my report. I don't want to play a little bit of the report that I did

a couple of months ago about this. And here's what I found. Look at that I go to Rumble, video doesn't play ah, and that interesting. Yeah, this is my life. This is videos taken down even on Rumble. Who knows what the reason is. Travis was saying that he thinks that it may not necessarily be censorship. It could be some technical issue. I don't know. Other videos are still there. He looked up other videos that other people did at the time, and it may not be directed.

This particular one at Rumble may not be directed. If it's censorship, may not be directed at me personally. It might be the topic, right, because we're going to see censorship from the right as well. You know that they want to do the same things to people they disagree with that the left does. Right, and you see this in what is happening with these anti Israel protests. They come after free speech. That's that for real. They're

running the pipeline right down. I don't know if that's for real or not. Oh a, I generated okay, yeah, I don't think that was real. Run it right down the alley way between two houses. It's about as bad though, these pipelines and the imminent domain abuses that we see with it. And I talked about that even with a Keystone pipeline bringing in oil from Canada taking it down to refineries in the United States, and I said, look, we need the oil. There is no transportation method that is

one hundred percent safe. You could have accents with it, but the safest is going to be the pipeline. If there's leaks, they're going to be relatively minor compared to an oil tanker spill or something like that, and much more easily cleaned up and fixed and so forth, and even safer than and more efficient than sending it on a whole convoy of semi trailers. Right, semi trucks we could we could do use them for other things. But it's

not perfect. But I said, I have a real problem with the eminent domain aspect, especially because that pipeline was being run by a Canadian company, trans Canada, and it set new precedents for eminent domain. We had bad precedents for eminent domain in Connecticut with the Kelso case in the Supreme Court, where the land was taken for the use of a corporation rather than for common

use, like they're going to build a road or something. I don't like eminent domain period, but you know, if you're to take property because you've got to build a road or something, that's very different, isn't it. Then you take it because a corporation wants it. And then what we had with this keystone pipeline was we had a corporation had the power to condemn this

property. You gave the condemnation and the seizure via imminent domain. You gave those powers and those determinations and decisions to a corporation for the corporation's use. You see how it keeps progressing. Oh and by the way, a foreign corporation gets to take that property from people who have had that property in their family for one hundred and fifty years or more and it's part of their farm, and it messes up their farm to cut this right in the center of

it. It can't, you know, how do you get around this thing? That type of stuff. So, yeah, there were a lot of issues with that, but this is particularly bad. And this is the description I had for the video there. If eminent domain were not bad enough on its own, add crony capitalism, corruption, and a co two pipeline green scam, North Dakota Governor Doug Bergham now running ahead in the veep sweepstakes, and South Dakota Governor Christinome, a CEO crony of Trump, and Trump himself.

Those four people. If you think Trump's going to save you from the un Davos Green Agenda and it's corporate looters. You need to see this. Oh well, I guess that is enough to take it. Now, we'll see what happens with it. Will it come back? Will I post it again? You bet. We'll find it and we'll put it up again. See what happens with a new posting. Also, we'll say we've got another video from three months ago that is playing, and it's on the same page

if you go back in time. So it seems there's something specific about that video. Yeah, yeah, but maybe the topic not me particularly, So let's push this. I'm gonna keep pushing it till they me I'm wrong. It's like we try to set up a channel on Roku, we get censored with Vimeo that feeds it. I mean, it's just this is the day. This is what frustrates me and raises my blood pressure more than the work. It's this. Uh, And now the video right next to it doesn't

play. So maybe there's something about videos we uploaded that exact day. I don't know. It's very strange. This is one of the problems with dealing with sites like this. As good as they are, it's impossible to tell what's actually going on it. Well, we'll upload it again. It'll upload

it again. It's just, you know, I don't know when it happens to you so often. First thing I think about is that it's deliberate and not an accident. But maybe it's an accident. Maybe it's a tech issue.

In a video statement, she gave further details and context about this, of course, and frustrated, suspicious that her account termination at Bank of America is linked to her hoarding and the upcoming documentary on the FBI is misconduct and the governor Whitmer fed napping case, and it truly is entrapment, folks, we all know, and it was the blueprint for January the sixth, As we pointed out, we knew that before. She's got a lot of evidence

about that. They've had mixed results in the trials, which you can attribute to the different judges right the way the judges allow evidence to be presented and not presented, but they allowed the jury to be told and not told. We have a long, rich history of judges who suppress exculpatory evidence of evidence that would show that the defendant is innocent. We've seen that in so many trials I've seen it in every one of these tax protesters trials that I know

of. I've seen it in the trials around the Bundy Ranch stand off. The only reason that they didn't all go to jail was because you had a good guy, a whistleblower in the BLM who said, this is what they're doing. Busted the case wide open, and it was so damaging to the government that they shut it down. And the judge said, dismissed with prejudice,

You're not going to reopen this case again. But it truly was prejudiced the case on the side of BLM and some of these other things, some of these other convictions, And I don't know if the first convictions that they got to some of the people that were there in January sixth, I don't know if those were overturned or not. I don't remember what happened to those. It could be recalled that the FBI used at least twelve informants in the

Michigan Whitmer kidnapping case. There are six defendants and twelve FBI informants two to one. They created this scam, they ran this scam. They goaded people into saying things be careful what you say on social media. Seriously, they've got scumbags this working for the FBI that are out there doing this kind of

stuff all the time. They do it on social media. You want to make sure you don't get some kind of Brazil raid in the middle of the night because of some FBI troll that you got into an argument with, or maybe they're friendly and maybe they encourage you. You know, they're out there saying all of these provocative things and you feel like you can join in and say them with them as well. Need to understand have some wisdom about the

times that we're living in. So Bank of America provided customer information to federal authorities around the January sixth events, and of course a lot of parallels between that and this Whitmer thing. They actually took the guy who ran the Whitmer Bolshevik Pure Bolshevik case, they put him in to run January sixth, and of course Bank of America also turned over all kinds of credit card records and

gun purchases. Specifically, what they told what the Bank of America sent to the FBI, and the FBI said, we didn't ask them for it, they just did it. Voluntarily. Well, you know what's going on. It's a very close relationship with them. Uh, they're just not they're not guessing. Well, you know, I think the FBI would do this. Let's spend the extra time. Now. The FBI tells them, you know, it would be nice if we had that information. They've always run this

scam. They've run this type of scam with the phone companies, and when people said, hey, you did you know you gave them my information, the courts said, well, you have a phone account with you know, the Bell system that we've given them monopoly to, and so you've agreed to give them all this information and that's their information. Now they can do with it whatever they want. And if they want to voluntarily turn this over to us without a search warrant, they can do that. That's what's going on

here. The FBI tells them what they want, and the and Bank of America says, sure, you don't need a warrant. We're not going to ask you for a warrant. And they voluntarily give them everything that they want because they want have a place at the table with CBDC and other stuff. Right in the same way that Bell liked their phone monopoly at the time, and at and T and Bell. They liked that monopoly. They wanted to keep that going. So they were more than happy to give any information to

anybody in the government about anyone without a search warrant. So some of the things that they got were these people in DC between January the fifth and January the sixth, So Bank of America let them know they're there making purchases. Did they purchase a hotel, stay or an airbnb in d C, Virginia or Maryland after January the sixth? Now you, of course you could do this and not be there for the you know, the January the sixth grift and the whole thing was a setup. As I said, you know,

Trump set people up, Alex set people up. Bank of America rated on these people. Bank of America rad it on a lot of people who had nothing to do with any of this. Stopped the steal or save America stuff. Either a next One airline related purchases since January the sixth, did they

fly out of January sixth? Next One? Any purchase of weapons between January the seventh and their upcoming suspected stay in the DC area around Inauguration Day, so you got a lot of people who had nothing at all even to do with that grift and entrapment that we called January the sixth, and they still had their names turned in to the FBI by Bank of America Bank of America. And you know, it's interesting because Bank of America has had so such

close ties with the government going back to the Clinton administration. I remember because we had a bank account with Nations Bank, which was headquartered in North Carolina. And at that time there weren't these gigantic, too big to fail banks. They were really more regional. So Bank of America was a California bank, Nations Bank was a North Carolina bank, and there was a guy in North Carolina, Erskine Bowls. He had run for office many times. He

was in the Clinton White House. I forget his exact time. I don't know if he was chief of staff or something else, but he's pretty high up in the Clinton White House. And he was involved in the banking industry in North Carolina. And so they wanted to have this merger between the North Carolina bank Nations Bank, and California's Bank of America. That as they put

that out, all of the press was saying you can't do this. This is going to create a gigantic bank, and it's going to set off a wave of mergers, and you're going to wind up with just a handful of gigantic banks. But you know, Erskine Bowls did his influence thing, and the Clinton administration approved it, and the two of them moved named all the banks. Bank of America moved the headquarters from California to Charlotte, North Carolina,

and then that set off a wave of mergers. And ten years later, because Clinton also took down the Glass Stegel Act, ten years later, we had this big financial crisis because of all the speculation in the real estate market, and you lo and behold, you had about five or six banks that were too big to fail. They got bailed out. And so Bank

of America has been there from the inception. With all this stuff. They've also debanked doctor John Eastman, who was pushing the corruption of the election theory. He confirmed that he's already moved most of his money from Bank of America to USAA, which is for Armed Services accounts, over concerns that Bank of America had this leftist advocacy or actually government advocacy, but then both of them, both of them shut down his accounts. Both Bank of America and USAA

closed down within the space of two months. In the UK's we've talked about before, Brexit leader Nigel Farage found that he was being denied accounts by major banks. And of course Nigel Farrage has a very high profile in the UK. When he talked about it, though they he's just a conspiracy theorist, it didn't happening, and all the rest of the stuff, but he campaigned

on the issue. They actually got the text messages released and it showed that this was coming from the CEO of that bank, one of the biggest banks in the UK NAT West and by the way, the British government was a major shareholder and that bank, and it caused that CEO to have to resign the CEO. Dame Allison Rose, Oh, there's nothing like a dame. That's Rogers and Hammerstein. The other day I was talking about that. I told her and I got off there and I said, Oscar in Hammerstein.

Oscar Hammerstein was the guy who wrote the lyrics this is but it was Rogers and Hammerstein Richard Rodgers, and it came to me because I sitting there, and also in the song. I don't know if you ever saw Victory at Sea series that was done. There's a lot of stuff like that that was done when I was a kid, because I was born ten years after World War two and so people started documenting stuff like that. So it was a long series Victory at Sea, and Richard Rogers did the music for it.

You know, I'd even remember my voice there, but you get the idea, and if you've, if you're of a certain age, you probably could not escape hearing that little ditty there, And immediately I did that with Karen she oh yeah, I know what that is. Anyway, I digress. Fort worst tallest building sells for less than nine percent, less than nine thousand. I was not quite that bad. Yet, the tallest building in Fort

Worth sold for less than nine percent of its twenty twenty one purchase. Probably, yes, well, see, we need to figure that in to help Biden with his inflation figures, don't we. Yeah, the price of food and fuel and all the necessary things may be going up, but hey, look the price of commercial real estate dropped by ninety percent. Isn't that great? Let's just average this all in So, yeah, that's what's happening, and it's not happening just so I can afford it, that's right. Next

year, maybe you can afford a skyscraper in Dallas. I'd tear it down, that's right. So Pinnacle Bank had a had an auction and they had and actually they bought it back for twelve million. I guess I got first debs on it. They had had the people who lost it had a thirteen million dollar loan. Pinnacle Bank bought it back for twelve million, so they've got a sunken cost in it of twenty five million. But the people who bought it bought it for one hundred and thirty seven and a half million just

in twenty twenty one. And then this thing sells for twelve million. So somebody took a financial bath on this thing. The former owner Burnett Cherry Street LLC. They're the ones who lost all the money. The bank has come out okay on it though, actually because again their total cost on it is twenty five million, and it was appraised most recently one hundred and four million, so they got something worth one hundred four million for twenty five million.

It's I guess this this building is too tall to fail. It's they got a deal. The average commercial building vacancy rate in downtown Fort Worth, however, is about fifty percent lower at eleven and a half percent, So it's dropping, but it's dropped by fifty percent, but it's only down to eleven and a half percent, so the vacancy rate is not as bad as it is in some places like New York City. Peter Schiff asks what will cbdc's

mean for Gold with the eventual introduction. He says, the CBC's now seeming inevitable. That's right. I know Trump put it on his campaign promise list, but he doesn't have any commitment to it. I don't believe he's going to do anything about it. You know, there was some hope, perhaps that DeSantis would because he made it a core issue and he did a half hour thing. But then when he got finished, all they wanted to know was, well, what's going on in this Manhattan trial of Trump, which

is now in process. That's all they asked him about. So again, when we look at that, promises are cheap, especially for Donald Trump, I don't think he's going especially considering the fact that Jared Kushner and Trump, Goldman Sachs. Treasury Secretary Steve Manouchin started the CBDC kickoff and then you know, handed it over to Biden. It's a left right left right. You

know, one of them starts at the other one finishing. You know, Trump starts the vaccine stuff, kicks it over to Biden, and he completes it. So anyway, Peterscheff says, of course, recounting for people who I think everybody knows by now what CBDC is. He says, it's means of surveillance. But he gives a couple of good examples here. He says, so if you owe taxes or a parking ticket or something, it'll be

automatically deducted. Does the Fed think that it needs to cool inflation, Well, they might deduct money directly from your bank accounts, because you know, this is what they do with modern monetary theory. We just take the money out to cool inflation. You know, they're not going to do this kind of stuff of changing interest rates, contative easing. No, what they'll do is to just directly pull money out of your account. So they could impose

a daily spending limit on you. You know, anything if you've got a fifteen minute city. He doesn't mention this year, but he's got a fifteen minute city thing they're trying to enforce. Sorry, you can't buy anything outside of this little fifteen minute city radius that we've assigned you to, giving a new meaning to that statement at the bar. Sorry, your money's no good

here. Literally, that's why what happened. Possibilities for control and profit are endless and too tempting for control freak bureaucracies and amoral tech companies to ignore. He's right about that, he said. CBDCs and the idea of a cashlest society are mostly about increasing centralization and control on the societal and individual level. It's easy to see how they might be accompanied by new legislation banning precious metals

or non state approved financial activities. All they need is a severe enough financial crisis to provide the justification. And this isn't a theory. We saw it during the Great Depressions, he points out, with FDR confiscating goal by executive order, a true communist criminal if everyone was one, and with new developments in crypto tookenization tech and a brewing global financial crisis, well, it's not

brewing. It was created created. The tech banking political complex is preparing for what they collectively know will be a crucial window of opportunity to force CBDCs down people's throats. Once it's rolled out, central bankers will have more ability than ever to manipulate the money supply and your personal finances according to their whims. Sorry, you know, we're not even going to discuss anymore of this whole thing about meat and dairy. Just if it's meat or dairy, you can't

buy it. It's not going to let it happen. So that's one of the big advantages of gold. But his article is, so what happens to the price of it? And he looks at what happened to the price of gold before and after the executive order that FDR went through, And I don't know exactly on his chart here at exactly a point at which FDR, at one point after he sees most of the goal that he could get this arbitrarily raises the price. He gets it on the cheap and raises the price.

He went from twenty one to thirty four dollars an ounce. That's about sixty two percent. I'm not sure exactly the timing of when that went up, but it goes straight up on his chart that you see there. Some legislators are recognizing the threat and fighting against it, declaring CBDCs to be a threat and empowering precious metal holders. However, he says, I'm not sure it'll

be enough to fight the tide that's being engineered by the central planners. But as precious metals emerge as the best form of physical money and a tightly control, micromanaged financial dystopia, they'll become the only way to make private or off grid transactions, making them more valuable than ever, not only as investments,

but as a means of survival outside the fully digitized FIAT nightmare. Financial privacy, you know, privacy of financial transactions is what Katherine austen Fitz talks about, and I think that is the key issue. You know. We can

talk about inflation, and we can talk about how they manipulate that. We can talk about the interest rates and how they manipulate that, but it really is for me the coming plans to try to centralize and control everything, and you have to have something that's physical if you're going to have any financial privacy. It'll still be difficult to do it. You know, they'll have informants

and things like that everywhere. It's going to be difficult to survive, but you're going to have to survive in a gray or black market if they get way. If we can organize at the local and state level, maybe it won't come to that. But if we don't organize at the local and state level, it will be that. It will be you individually trying to operate in a gray market or a black market. Sober Gold versus the rate cut

circus show. This is from von Grayert's Gold. He says, I got a picture that I imagine of Uncle Sam hanging off a cliff with a forced political smile. Above the cliff is a grizzly bear. Below the cliff is a pool of sharks. Whichever direction he picks, the end result is going to be messy. And he says, that's that's really what we're looking at here, you know, when we look at is the Fed going to cut rates or not cut rates? In January, Powell was giving a lot of

Ford guidance about how he's going to do rate cuts. Everybody expected that they would do that to support Biden, which is another indication to me that they have basically they want to have Trump. You know, all of these trumped up charges in these court cases have made it all about him personally. It's all become a reality TV show circus, which is his that's his wheelhouse.

It suits him just fine. It meant that he could go through and eliminate a large field of people challenging him, even credible candidates who had been governors and things like that, without talking about any issues, without doing any debates, just by making it about his own personal suffering. And so he says, so you're going to look at the interest rates, he says, here's my advice. Stop caring about it, because either way we're screwed. That's

what I say about the presidential races. Stop caring about whether it's Biden or Trump. Either way, we're screwed. Right, whether Powell raises interest rates or drips interest rates, we're still screwed. And the same thing is true of the election. There's no solution coming from that quarter. With trillions in US Treasury notes repricing this year and over seven hundred billion in zombie bonds from SMP issuers doing the same, if Powell doesn't cut rates, then sovereign and

corporate bond markets are staring down loaded barrel. And he said, this is real. Think of America. His own data confirms, and Uncle Sam is looking at one point six trillion in interest expense payments by the end of the year if Powell doesn't cut rates soon, So you can you can make cases for cutting rates, you can make cases for not cutting rates. But he said, whichever way you go, you need to understand that the end results

are going to be misreported. The government will lie to you about the inflation rates as always. And as he points out, so what is the lesson from history? Lesson from history? Is it all failing nations ultimately resort to killing their own currencies in order to buy time and to save a system that's mathematically beyond being saved. As niail Ferguson recently reminded us, any great power that spends more on debt service than on defense will not stay great for very

long. This has been true of the Habsburg Empire, this is true of the ancient regime in France, of the British Empire, and of course it will also be true of the American Empire. Quite Frankly, I look forward with anticipation to the demise of the American Empire. Regardless of what happens to us, it'll be an improvement, I think, because they are a threat to the life, the liberty, and the prosperity of everyone as it is. So it will be jumping out of the frying pan. We'll see what

the fire is like. But it is a murdering I'll tick pushing infestation of demons in Washington, DC. And you got to hope that that goes down, whatever the cost to us, even if it costs us everything. Well, again, you want to prepare individually. You know, we can hope that things are going to be done at the state level. Maybe they will, but either way, you need to prepare individually. And you can do that at Davidknight dot Gold. That'll take you to Tony Ardban's Wise Wolf Gold

and there you can buy gold or silver large or small amounts. You can also set up a regular savings program and you can gradually accumulate gold. You can do it on a fixed amount each month. He has different tiers that are there and if you get into wolf Pack that helps you with quantity discounts on the things on whatever it is that you are picking up. There a

couple of comments I want to get to before we take a break. On rock fan Handy good to see, says, Bank America was where my dad banked when he moved to Missouri. They waited until the day of closing to reject the loan. There you go. He ended up with a local bank instead, but the deal almost crashed. So maybe it wasn't me personally. Maybe it's just Bank of America. Stay away from these people. They will mess you up one way or the other. Joe Biden challenged Trump to a

pair of debates. This has just been released. Travis says first one would be as early as June, the second for early September. Biden's camp rejected allowing the Nonpartisan Commission on Presidential Debates to run the debates and wants the debates to be in a closed TV studio with no live audience. Gets some confused if other people are talking, he can think, and with microphones they cut off if they go over there alloted time. Biden told Trump, go ahead,

make my day. Well, okay, there you go. He's a big man. He's going to sign up for debate. These guys are so pathetic. They're not running the show, folks, They're just puppets. They're sock puppets. The question is who's got their hand up there behind waving their arms and legs. You know, that's that's why they ain't got to ask yourself. Okay, we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right

back. You're listening to the David Night Show. Yeah, let's take a look at what is going on in Ukraine here before we do real quickly, just I want to say thank you to Kishan g. Thank you for the tip on rockfand Hi David and team. I enjoy listening with you to your show daily, even though I don't agree with all of your opinions. Well of course we're not. If you're critically thinking, you're probably not going to agree with me on everything because we're going to see some things differently. I

tell you what I think. I try to give you the news objectively, and then I tell you what I think about it. But of course even the things that I think are important are going to reflect my personal opinions and biases as well. Anybody tells you that they're completely objective, that they're the sole source of truth or reject those people. They're either fools who believe that

themselves or they're cynically lying to you about it. But I you know, again, I have my biases, and I'll tell you why I think what I think. But and it's very important for us to understand that. And I'm not saying that you have to listen to people that you disagree with, it's just that you don't want to demand that they be canceled. That that is a very big tell. I think people who you know, whether they're left or right now, we see this on both sides want to shut down

the opposition. And it's like, Okay, what have you got to hide? What is it that you're trying to lie to us about? Because that's what censorship is about. It's always about covering up lines. The truth doesn't need to be defended, it needs to be unleashed. So she said, I can't afford much, but here's my small token of my appreciation. Well, thank you very much. That is very generous. I appreciate that.

I really like your interviews with Eric Gerald and Tony. Keep up the work. One question, do you think Alex's Info Wars is going to be shut down. I'm a fan of his, but just wondering your thoughts. No, No, it won't be. You know, he hasn't paid a penny out of this one point four billion dollar judgment and he's not going to pay anything. And he was bragging about He's bragged about that on air, he bragged about it privately. How he's going to get out of that. He

knew he was going to lose. He chose not to give them the information. And that's not a theory. Remember that clip and he says, oh, this is your Perry Mason moment. Why was it the Perry Mason moment? Well, because he had always said I gave him everything that they wanted, you know, all this kind of stuff. He didn't give them everything they wanted. He was playing a shell game. He's moving money around, delaying this stuff, and he did not give them what they demanded. And

you automatically lose a case when you don't do that. He knew he was going to lose a case. He was just dragging it out and he got caught when he was on the stand. His lawyer always hired the best.

His lawyer sent. His lawyer looked great. I mean he really was out of Fashion magazine, but evidently wasn't the brightest guy, because his lawyer sent Alex's phone information to the opposing counsel and then never and there's a period of time, it's like one or two weeks or something, and never said disregard

that. If he'd said, if he'd realized that he made a mistake, sent it by mistake, or if his staff had sent it by mistake, he could have always pulled it back and said disregard that, and the other lawyer would have to have disregarded it. I guess I don't know what the rules are with that, but I guess there's some kind of professional courtesy thing

or maybe the rules of the bar or something like that. If it's a mistake and you catch it, but if it sets there for a week or two weeks and you know, pull it back, it's fair game for him to use it. And so opposing counsel confronted Alex and said, well, you know, you said this didn't happen, and you said you didn't have this information when we asked you for but here it is. It was sent to me by your lawyer by mistake. And ale said, oh, so

this is your Perry Mason moment. Yeah, it really was a Perry Mason moment because it showed that Alex had chosen not to defend free speech. Look, I was there when all this stuff was going on with Sandy Hook, and it was it was a debate, and it should have been fair to say all that stuff. There wasn't anything that was said that was unfair in

my opinion. And yet there were, you know, there was talk about this kind of stuff and it got to be a real hot pitato in it, and there were problems with Wolfgang Halbig as a credible source, and so Alex said, let's, you know, let's shut this thing down. Let's not talk about this anymore. I was perfectly fine about doing that. I

had no interest in talking about it. And then when Owen came, Owen wanted to open up that can of worms, and he wanted to open up the can of worms about Pizzagate. And basically he just stepped in a whole several different piles of dog poop and tracked them through the organization, which resulted in these lawsuits that were there, and that's when it fired up again.

But there was a lot of political angle to it. As well, of course, no doubt about it. But Alex chose to try to preserve his money by whatever secretive means he used offshore bank accounts and stuff like that. He chose to preserve his tens of millions that he was paying himself every year and to not defend free speech and a free press. So he chose not to play that game. He chose not to participate and defend what he had to say as being fair under the First Amendment, which it was, but

he chose to go the underhanded route. And you know, I think I can beat him by hiding stuff rather than making arguments. And so that's the situation he's in now. But he hasn't had to pay a penny to these people one point four billion dollars, hasn't paid any of it. Still maneuvering, still moving around, and so yeah, he is. He's got a lot of connections. As I I've said before, I've never known anybody before or since that has so many friends and family as cnia as Alex does.

Something weird about that, don't you think it seems to be a protected individual when it comes to January the sixth or this other stuff. For whatever reason, on rock fan Guards Goldsmith. Bank of America also bought Merrill Lynch, that's right, and a government broker special deal where the government brought bought a

lot of Merrill Lynch debt. Yes, that's right. And well, you know, and being able to buy Merrill Lynch that was tied, I believe to getting rid of the you know, the Glass Stigelact, because the banks were doing a lot of speculative stuff before the stock market crash on the nineteen twenties, and they said, all right, to restore confidence in the system, the federal government will set up a corporation to ensure the bank deposits.

But we're going to meet, we're going to require that you can't participate in these risky things. And so when they took that away, Bank of America could buy Merrill Lynch and these other people who were doing these securitized real estate loans and everything. And yeah, and the government bought a lot of the debt. I mean, it's just it's just revolving door, just like you see with the vaccine stuff, like we're going to see with the agricultural stuff,

the attacks on our food supply. It is again this to think that there's a difference between the Republicans Democrats is like thinking that there's a difference between the multinational big corporations and the government that's supposed to be overseeing them. They're not adversaries, they're partners. They're partners, just like the Republicans and Democrats are not adversaries. They're partners on the key existential issues that confront us.

By the way, Rockfan Handy says, the thing with my dad happened back in two thousand and six. Well, that's interesting, So it looks like maybe they've got some systemic inefficiencies and how they work, so you can add that to their craven government sycophancy. The Russians simply walked in Ukrainian troops in

Kharkiv. Tel BBC Dennis Yuoslavsky is angry. As the commander of a Ukrainian special reconnaissance unit, he fought in Ukraine's surprise offensive in Kharkiv in the autumn of twenty twenty two, which pushed back an initial Russian invasion all the way back to the border. But now Dennis and his men are facing the prospect they're doing it all over again. Russian forces have in recent days made small

but significant gains right along the border and the Kharkiv region. Their advances are only a few miles deep, but have swallowed up around sixty two miles of Ukrainian territory and the more heavily defended east of Ukraine. It has taken Russia months to achieve the same penetration. They did it in just a couple of days, and they just walked right in. By the way, do you notice a subtext here they don't point out. BBC says, well, you

know, they've advanced over here, and they've advanced over here. They're comparing how quickly they were able to advance into two places. But the bottom line is they're winning everywhere. They're winning everywhere. Is an unwinnable war. It's been an unwinnable war from the very beginning. It was very interesting at the very beginning, and it's hard whenever there's a war to get objective information.

Usually people have a dog in the fight, and so I thought probably the best objective information was coming out of the Indian press at the very beginning of this, and they had some Indian military people talking about it, and they weren't heavily allied with either the US or with Russia, so they weren't spending it for one or the other. And they were saying this is you know, they were talking about fighting them to the last Ukrainian. They said,

you can't win this. And I think the best summation of it was from Colonel Douglas McGregor, who said, this is like a war between Mexico and the United States. The United States is going to ultimately win that war, overwhelming them with resources and people and technology and all the rest of this stuff, right, And that's what's going to happen here. It's just a matter of time. And they don't really care, you see. And Arrestovich knew

that. Alexei Arrestovich knew that he was. He came in in twenty nineteen with Zelenski. They ran on a platform of peace because at that point in time that already had five years of civil war after the CIA Victoria Newlan engineered coup. The areas that didn't like the new government wanted to secede and be with Russia or fighting that government, and so they shelled civilian populations for five

years. And Arrestovich was part of Zelensky's peace group and he came back and was interviewed on TV and they said, so, what's going to happen. We're gonna have peace. Oh, no, it's not going to happen. Oh, that's bad. He goes, oh, it's even worse than that. He said in three years twenty twenty two when it did kick off. In three years, we're going to be at war with Russia. He said, that's horrible. He says, yeah, and the country is going to be havoced, is what he said. A stated, how can that be?

She said, and said, well, here's the good news. We get into you into a NATO, right, they don't care what happens to Ukraine, the the Ukrainians that the NATO people have put in charge, with the coup and the rest of the stuff. They don't care what happens to the rest of the country, just like the people in our country don't care what happens to the rest of the country. Just like the Israeli government doesn't

care what happens to Israelis, let alone Palestinians. They've got their geopolitical objectives and you know, the hell with you. We don't care what happens to the rest of the country. And he said that matter of factly said that, and so it's not a surprise. Yeah, but you have people like Chris Christy and Lindsey Graham. This is good. Let's do more of it. Let's keep this going. Because they also don't care about the loss of

life in Ukraine. They all they also don't care about the country being absolutely totally destroyed. The only thing they care about their little geopolitical objective of weakening Russia. And if we can use the Ukrainians to do that for us, yeah, we'll use them as our surrogate army. We don't care about their lives. It don't matter whatever Travis is pro Russian. Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico has been shut Oh is this going to be like the Archduke Ferdinand.

No reports on his condition yet. It's apparently a close ally of Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orbon. Oh well, we'll see what happens with that. It keeps escalating, doesn't But again, they really don't care. The war has been lost. The war was lost from the beginning. This is just about bleeding Russia, that's all. It's about all this money, all this blood, so we can bloody Russia and and perhaps you know the real goal is

to have a world war for a depopulation. So going back to Ukraine, this guy who was the commander of recon Unit Dennis on a Special Forces recon he wants to know what happened to Ukraine's defenses, says the BBC. He said, there was no first line of defense. We saw it. The Russians just walked in. They just walked in without any mind feels. He says. Officials had claimed that defenses were being built, they said at huge cost. But in his view, those defenses simply weren't there. He said,

either it was an act of negligence or corruption. It wasn't a failure, it was a betrayal. He knows that. And of course you can look at all the villas that Zelensky has put everywhere in the Paris shopping trips of his wife, and how he's nested the ownership of the foreign villas through multiple you know, corporations. It's like a Madrioski doll, you know, got a dig and then who owns this one, who owns this one, who owns us? Eventually you get there and it's in the name of his

wife. Everyone knew this encourasion was likely to happen, just like everybody knows that Ukraine is going to lose the war. But these guys who got the money didn't build a fortification, as Dennis says, he says, of course I'm angry when we're fighting back for this. We lost thousands of people, We risked our own lives, and now because somebody didn't build any fortifications,

we're losing people again. They took this money from the likes of McConnell and Schumer and trader Mike Johnson, and they ran, they ran, and so that was a BBC story. There was a local story that was done by Ukrainska Pravda on Monday. You know the truth of Ukraine. I guess military and civilian authorities in Ukraine's Kharkov region paid millions of dollars to fake companies, fake companies for the supply of non existent building materials to construct defensive fortifications that

they didn't build. So the newspaper Ukraineska Pravda on Monday, with no fortifications built, Russian forces have advanced rapidly through the region. Writing on Monday, the paper said Ukrainian anti corruption activist Martina Bogoslavits explained that the Regional Military Administration had been given one hundred and seventy six and a half million dollars to build fortifications to hold back this advance. Much of the money was embezzled, she

claimed. For the supply of wood, the Regional Military Administration signed contracts of six point eight million dollars with five companies that were set up immediately after the contracts were nounced. Oh okay, they didn't have any they didn't exist before they get the contracts. They create these companies. Then the next thing is they have no bid contracts. No bidding process took place. And at least two of these three companies. Two of these companies were owned by the same

person. She said. This is almost as bad as Dick Cheney in Iraq. There's no bid contracts with Haliburton and other stuff. Now, of course, Haliburton was a genuine construction company. They didn't even bother to have genuine construction companies in this They get the money from the Congress, the American Congress, and they set up some contracts and then they create some phony companies and they just take all the money. They said. The owners of these firms

do not resemble successful businessmen and business women. She said. They have dozens of court cases from whiskey theft to domestic violence against the husband and mother. Some of them are deprived of printal rights and have had enforcement proceedings for bank

loans. It's just organized crime. Boguslavits describe these business owners as avatars placed in charge of the companies, either for a small fee or without their knowledge, oh like Zelenski himself, or perhaps like McConnell and Mike Johnson and Chuckie Schumer, avatars, but in place by the real government, the intelligence community,

and the military industrial complex of this American empire. The naked eye can see how a government official mercilessly registers new companies using for this purpose people who, due to the circumstances, may not be aware of this, and this someone continues to make money on blood. She wrote. The lack of defensive fortifications allowed Russian forces dinner Kharkiv region almost unopposed. They also quote this guy, Dennis Yaroslavski that the BBC talked to no line of defense. We saw

the Russians just walked in. They walked in without any mind feels. He said it wasn't a failure. It was a betrayal. And folks, this war is going to be lost, and just remember when it is lost that it wasn't a failure, it was a betrayal. It was a betrayal from the very beginning. And then we look at the Israeli thing. Have I don't like to cover it in detail because there is it's nothing but a slush pool of lies from both sides. With a fog of war, you can't

really see what going on. Everybody is lying about what happened? You know, did this atrocity happen? Did that one happened? We know people are dying, of course, but to get the numbers and to see, you know, who's doing what it really is not possible for us to know that. So I stayed out of that. My position is America first, Peace, Peace first, impose a just war restriction, not what we saw yesterday from Mark Milly. Oh well, you know, there's here's what you need

to have for a war. You need to have a political reason, You need to make it fast. Really well, you don't even do that. Your wars last forever by design, they last forever. That alone would make them unjust. But the fact that you strike other people pemptively, they have not hit this country. It's not a it's not a legitimate prelude to war. To see somebody making, you know, bold and aggressive statements and building

up a military that doesn't justify it. But now what we've had is a US Army major who has quit the Defense Intelligence Agency and protest of what he

has seen. Now, this I think is credible because like the doctors who eventually came around and started talking about what they saw happening with the vaccines and with the hospital death protocol that Trump was paying people to do, these doctors had nothing to gain and everything to lose by telling the truth about what Trump and Biden were doing, and the big pharmaceutical companies and the FDA and the CDC all of it right, and they did. They paid the price,

They lost their career. Same thing with this guy. He has nothing to gain from blowing the whistle on this. Nothing. He resigned from this. It's the end of his career, and he's doing it because he can no

longer be a part of what he says is ethnic cleansing. US Army officers resigned from his posts on zero Hedge at the Defense Intelligence Agency to protest Washington's quote nearly unqualified support for the government of Israel, unquote support that has facilitated what he calls the killing and starvation of tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians. He describes himself as a descendant of European Jews. He said he was raised

to be particularly unforgiving. He said, where responsibility for ethnic cleansing is concerned, you see, we have to be careful. We don't become what we fight. You want to say we're not going to have ethnic cleansing, you want to say we're not going to have discrimination and racism, But then you promote those values as part of your government, as part of what you donate money to at the universities, you support those racist policies. You become what

you fought. And that's always That's always the trap, isn't it? And Major Harrison Man left THEA in April. He sent a two page letter to a group of his colleagues there saying that he felt that they were owed an explanation for his quote relatively abrupt departure. On Monday, he shared the letter with the public via a post to his linked end page. Well, I can't get the full letter. I'm banned on LinkedIn as well, so, but they do have a significant number of quotes that they've taken out on this

zero Hedge article. What he has to say, says, I'll read the quotes that they had. He said, I cannot justify staying silent any longer. It is clear that this week some of you will still be asked to provide support directly or indirectly to the Israeli military as it conducts operations into Rafa and elsewhere in Gaza. I am sharing my letter now in the hope that you too will discover that you are not alone, You are not voiceless,

and you are not powerless. And the April letter explaining his departure zero h says Man describes how his growing misgivings grew as the IDF's retaliation for October seventh continued with US government help. He said, each of us signed up to serve knowing that we might have to support policies that we weren't fully convinced of.

Our defense institutions couldn't function otherwise. However, at some point it became difficult, he says, lost my place here Okay, this is the problem with electronics stuff here the yeah, a little bit further here, Okay, it just skipped into a unknown zone and we've got to recover, get back to where we are. It's thinking about it here we are, it came back. How about that? Okay, So he says, at some point, whatever the justification, you are either advancing a policy that enables the mass

starvation of children or you're not. And you can see their picture of a child literally star How many times have we men shown pictures similar to that that the Nazis did to people in concentration camps. Do we become the monsters that we fought in April? You know? Sef said one and three Gaza children under two years old are acutely malnourished. When Israel began retaliating after October the seventh, the Defense Minister Gallant declared, I have ordered a complete siege on

Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel. Everything is closed. We are fighting human animals, and we're acting accordingly. He said. By the way, that is the same type of thing that we're going to see these globalists lead to. They want to shut down our electricity, our food, our fuel. They're doing it right now with EPA. They're going to do it gradually, and then one day they're going to

do it suddenly. Right be prepared for that. They're doing it gradually right now, the same things they did because they're at war with us, our own government. The EPA is at war with us. So be prepared. He so we enabled and empowered the kill. This is the guy he resigned again from the DA. This is him talking again. He said, we enabled to empower the killing and starvation of tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians.

The past months have presented us with the most horrific and heartbreaking images imaginable, sometimes playing on the news in our own spaces, and I have been unable to ignore connection between those images and my duties here, which has caused me incredible shame and guilt. By the way, yesterday is made public that Biden said, I'll tell you where the Hamas leaders are hiding. We know where they are, we know where their tunnels are, and I'll tell you where

they are if you do this. And this they've known, Israelis have known, They've chosen not to go after the leaders of Hamas to go after so they could go after the civilian population because they would to purge them out of there, he said. I told myself my individual contribution was minimal, and that if I didn't do my job, somebody else would. So why cause a stir for nothing? I told myself, I don't make policy, it's

not my place to question it. Above all, I was afraid. I was afraid of violating our professional norms, Afraid of disappointing officers that I respect, Afraid that you would feel betrayed. He says, as the descendant of European Jews, I was raised in a particularly unforgiving moral environment when it came to the topic of bearing responsibility for ethnic cleansing. My grandfather refused to ever purchase products manufactured in Germany, where the paramount importance of never again and the

inadequacy of just following orders were oft repeated. I am haunted by the knowledge that I have failed those principles. But I also have hoped that my grandfather would afford me some grace, that he would still be proud of me for stepping away from this war. However, belatedly, he Man also noted America's unconditional support, also encourages reckless escalation that risks a wider war. I think that's true in the Middle East. I think that's true in Ukraine. I

think that's true in China as well. Well, we're going to take a quick break and we will be right back. You're listening to the David Knight Show. Well, if you oppose these wars that they have going on, expect to pay the price. And Thomas Massey is now being targeted by APAK American Israeli Political Action Committee. They spent three hundred thousand dollars now in the

last week or so before the primaries. He's got two opponents. And remember, going back to twenty twenty, Trump targeted him, he said, let's primary him out. He didn't succeed in doing that at that point in time. We'll see what happens this time. And the reason that Trump was angry what Thomas Massey was because Thomas Massey said, we can't afford three and a half trillion dollars for this lockdown stuff. This is insane. And you guys

want to pretend that there's a virus here, come back and vote. We're not going to do this by acclamation. Whatever you're going to have to come back and register, and everybody was furious with him. He really got everybody there angry with him, but especially Trump because this was Trump's baby. The lockdown was Trump's baby. And it's kind of interesting now because Trump is Trump

has come out and attacked during the primaries. He attacked Dysantis for opening up, opening up, when at the time he I'm sorry for closing down. At the time, he attacked DeSantis because he opened up. He and Kemp and Georgia opened up about two weeks into this, two weeks to flatten the curve. They said, that's it opening up. And then when uh and and Trump is furious, You're gonna kill people, all the rest of this stuff. Then when Trump is running against DeSantis, he tries to pretend that

DeSantis was the lockdown master. It was Trump, pure projection, pure lies. And Trump knows it. And then just this last week we saw that with r F K Junior. Yeah, he said, h r f K Junior. H r f K Junior is you know he's he's pushing the vaccines or something, you know he wants to And it was just the opposite. Trump even used r f K Junior to bid up his price to the big

pharmaceutical companies and get millions of dollars during the transition period. And then Trump responded by putting in the Pfizer of the Eli the I can't remember Eli, what is the help me, Travis, the pharmaceutical guy. I want to say, Eli Whitney. It's not Eli Whitney. That was Eli Lilly. Thank you. I got Eli Whitney, which was an automobile catalog that I used to buy stuff from when I was in high school. I couldn't get Eli Whitney out of my mind. Anyway, it happens to us all,

doesn't it. So Eli Lilly CEO came in and he made him head of the FDA, and he stayed there for the full four years. And he was the one who kicked off the emergency executive orders declaring that it was a health emergency. Then Trump in the middle of March, March the thirteenth,

Friday the thirteenth, he kicks off the money for the emergency thing. Anyway, Trump used r F K Junior to bit up his price with these pharmaceutical companies, and now he's accusing r F K Junior being a big vaccine proponent. No he's not anti vaccine anything. Of course, you know, Trump

is the father of the vaccine. He's called himself that, and so now he is Trump is attacking Biden, warning that Biden is going to do all the things that Trump actually did in twenty twenty, you know, the lockdowns, the mass the social distancing, and all the rest of this stuff. It's just amazing the projection that's there. But anyway, he says, listen, Thomas Massey put this sid I said, listen to this three hundred thousand

dollars hit piece play on me by foreign interest lobbyist group APAC. And he says at twelve seconds, and they say fifteen times in April, Massey was the only Republican voting. And so then he says to Speaker Johnson, he said, Speaker Johnson, why did the US House Representatives vote fifteen times in April on Israel's issues but not a single time on our own issues, our own border, or any of that stuff. Johnson has been completely captured by

the military industrial complex, by the CIA. He's pushing wars, he's pushing domestic surveillance. He won't give a penny to the American border. Here's the attack at and listen to how many times they stress Holy Land, Holy On They mentioned it three times. Oh, well, you know, Thomas Massey has allied himself against God. Apparently, according to the American Israeli Political Action

Committee, Israel, the Holy Land under attack by Iran. Thomas Hesbala and Congressman Tom Massy associated with US. But one Republican is standing in the way. It's Kentucky's Tom Massey. Fifteen times in April, Massey was the only Republican voting with anti Israel radicals. Massy's votes helpful for Iran, harmful to Israel. Everyone who cares about the Holy Land needs to know Tom Massy is hostile to Israel. United Democracy Project is responsible for the content of this advertising.

So best endorsement of Tom Massey I've ever seen. Quite frankly, he says, in retribution for his many recent votes against Bill's in advanced Israel's agenda in Washington, he says, House Speaker Mike Johnson recently threatened to stick the Israeli lobby on Republicans who didn't tow the presidential line. The vaguely named United Democracy Project, an independent campaign spending arm of the mighty American Israel Public Affairs Committee. They don't have the guts to put their own name on it.

They create a shell corporation out here, shell Committee, Shell prot Project. Try, you know, if it would be too obvious. I guess they think if they said, this is brought to you by APAK, but it's brought to you by something that they created. They announced they're pouring three hundred thousand dollars in advertisements onto Fox TV affiliates in Massy's home state of Kentucky.

So we're trying to shine a light on the radical anti Israel record. Oh no, it's anti Holy Land. He's anti God, right of Thomas Massey, said a spokesperson. With its statewide attack, APAK likely intends to influence the twenty twenty sixth election as well. Massey is considered to be one of three favorites for the twenty twenty six Republican nomination to replace Mitch McConnell. Would that be something you get rid of Mitch McConnell with somebody who actually cares about

America instead of selling us out. What a sellout that guy has been. Mitch McConnell can't have somebody like Thomas Massey. Why because Israel doesn't like him. They want somebody in there that'll sell out to them. It's amazing. Israel, the Holy Land under attack by Iron Hamas, Hesbela and Thomas Massey. Do you know that. Yeah, he's on the side of Iran, Hamas and Hesbela, they say, now he's on the side of America, these other people. Just amazing. Everyone who cares about the Holy Land needs

to know that Thomas Massey is hostile to Israel. They ad said, yeah, well, let me just say this about the theology that's there. If your theology is conflicting your eschatology, your end times theology, if that eschatology is in conflict with basic fundamental moral principles that you see throughout the Old and

New Testament, throughout the Hebrew and Christian writings. If you have a vision of politics and geopolitics and the end of the world that conflicts with clear basic moral principles, then maybe you need to rethink what you're doing with your eschatology, how you're applying it, or if it's even right in the first place. But your application of that eschatology, even if it is right, is at odds with the basic fundamental principles of the Bible. God does not need

us to murder people for him. That's what the Muslims say. Come on, I'll never support that. Never, and you shouldn't either. If you're a Christian, you ought to reject that. Wrap yourself in the Holy Land. Why don't you read the Bible? This is like Ben Shapiro, who goes on with Joe Rogan says, well, I don't believe that, you know. Rogan says, well, you believe the Moses part of Rates. Now I don't believe that. Now. I don't believe the miracles in the

Bible. I just want the land, right. The only thing that's holy to them is the land. God's words not holy. God's not holy to them. They don't honor God. They don't believe the word of God except when it gives them something. Then they're all about that, aren't they. I have no patience for this. I will have no part in this. Zero Head says. Rather than having quote attacked the Holy Land, what Massy did was he simply trying to defend the US treasury from being plundered for the

benefit of a foreign country that is among the world's richest countries. Why pay for your defense when you can get the suckers in Washington to do it. You got a channel, you know, a few thousand dollars to them and get millions, or you funnel a few thousand dollars to them and you get billions. Right, Well, it's just the bill, another fourteen point three

billion dollars to Israel. Massy knowing that he would face the wrath. Yeah, he knew that Trump was going to push back against hen knew that he was going to offend all the other people in Congress when he called that vote in twenty twenty. He knew that he was going to be attacked by a pack when he did this. Massy, knowing that he would face their wrath and perhaps the dollars of the Israeli lobby, tweeted that he would vote no

on this fourteen point three billion dollars. He said, Israel has a lower debt to GDP ratio than the United States. This spending package has no offset. In other words, not saving any money anywhere else. They're not saying, well, we're gonna we're gonna cut Remember at the very beginning you had Trader Johnson said we're going to cut fourteen billion dollars from this IRS army that

Biden wants to build. But then as time goes by, he says, now, we'll build the IRS army and we'll give the fourteen billion dollars to Israel as well. He's a trader to us. He wants to stick the IRS on us, just like Biden without any reduction. He's worse than Kevin McCarthy. Kevin McCarthy at least had a little bit of reduction. Not so with Johnson. Fully fund Biden's war against Americans using an IRS that is seven times bigger than it is today, and so he has absolutely no offsets.

So that's what Thomas Massey said, there's no offsets on this, so it's going to increase our debt by the full fourteen point three billion plus interest. He also tried to defend the First Amendment, one of only nineteen Republicans to do so. And again, if you are going to do something like this Anti Semitism Awareness Act, if you have to censor people who disagree with you,

perhaps you don't have confidence in the truth of what you're saying. Perhaps you are censoring and canceling things because you have crimes to hide that you don't want to come to light. That is always the case with these people who call for censorship. They want to hide in the darkness. They don't want

their works to be shown to other people, shown in the light. Still pending in the Senate, it characterizes various statements about Israel as being anti submittic, subjecting colleges in the universities the Civil Rights Enforcement action if somebody says the wrong thing and taking money away from them. Look, I'm one hundred percent for taking all the money away from all of the colleges and universities. There is no authority in the Constitution for a single penny to be given to any

public or private schools, no authority for that whatsoever. But that's not how it's going to be used. It's going to be used to bribing blackmail people to be on their side. Policing speech, religion, and assembly, said Thomas Massey, is not the role of the federal government. In fact, it is expressly prohibited by the US Constitution. And that's exactly what this built

by this Traitoress Mike Johnson. Does. It polices religion, It polices assembly, It polices religion because it says what we can or cannot say about what happened to Jesus? How dare you? I will say whatever I wish, and you will never stop me from talking about that. Absolutely amazing to be that presumptive, Absolutely amazing for Mike Johnson to this wolf among the sheeps to

put on the sheepskin. Oh, I'm a Christian. I'm a Christian, and you put that on people, and you let this be defined as anti semitism, defined by a non governmental organization that's not even an American organization. I was talking about the eminent domain being done by a Canadian oil corporation. Look, I think we needed that oil pipeline. I think we need to

shut down racism and anti semitism. But you don't allow foreigners to take our property, and you don't allow a foreign government to take our bill of rights. And if you do, you're a trader to this country. Johnson and the rest of these GOP people who vote for we had a congressman, all of our congressmen in Tennessee voted for that Anti Semitism Awareness Act. They are

trembling in their boots. They don't want to be called antisemitic. They don't want to have hundreds of thousands of dollars in ads run against them like they're doing. Thomas Massey, he's the only one who had the guts to stand up to this stuff. Well, nineteen others, but none of them from Tennessee. I will not be voting to support any of these people in the general election. I'm not going to vote for a Democrat. But I'm not

voting for any of these Republicans either, just like Biden Trump. If there's some third party candidate, I'll vote for them. I'm not voting for any Republicans running for Congress out of Tennessee because they voted for this garbage. Kentucky's Republican primary be held May twenty first, they were really close, were only six days away next Tuesday, so they're dumping these ads here. Massey is being opposed by two GOP challengers. He said the Pro Israel Super Pac was

targeting him. Quote because I'm often the loan Republican for freedom of speech, against foreign aid and opposed to war in the Middle East. A pack is against our freedom of speech, APAK wants the aid, and APAC wants war. That's the opposite of this stuff, right, that's what they're spending the money for. Because they want censorship, because they want war. They want censorship because they want our money, and they don't want anybody talking about that.

He added this as urgently requested, questing like minded Americans to help him to thwart the attack by donating to his campaign. He told the Courier Journal in Kentucky. There's a reason to think that Johnson may have encouraged the APAC to give him primary challengers, he said this week in our GOP conference meeting, as members groused about blowback from the latest anti Semitism resolution anti anti Semitism resolution, he said, Johnson pledged to call his contacts at Jewish Israel groups

if dissident GOP represented his mustard opposition. Great guy, isn't he. You wonder why he's so allied with the CI. He uses those kinds of tactics, pushing in the DEFISA thing, extending it, extending it, and time extending it in extent. This and the timing of the AD announcement, he says, raises questions about whether the ads were suggested by or sanctioned by Speaker Johnson. In addition to now being creatively accused of attacking the Holy Land.

Massey has endured baseless accusations of anti Semitism, including this jim from the editor of commentary magazine John pod Horetz, who said, who called Massey a disingenuous piece of anti Semitic filth? Well projection, because John potterrets is a racist piece of Semitic filth, That's what you are, pod horets. Massey has previously suggested that APAX role in US politics amounts to foreign influence in our election. Absolutely, critics call the sentiment an anti Semitic trope. If you don't

give your money to Israel, you're antisemitic, he said, undeterred. Massy last week posted a poll asking if a pack should be forced to register as an agent of Israel under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. Pharah, Yeah, absolutely, if you're love being for a foreign government, you're supposed to register. Now. Of course, you know that was one of the charges that they brought against Hunter Biden and the Biden family. But of course you know

there's they're privileged characters. They don't have to follow the law, and neither does a pack. So he asked people should a pack register with Pharah No, the only place that APAC has to register is with the gift registry for the sellout prostitute GOP congressmen and the Democrats as well. They've got a gift registry. Maybe you can send them some gold bars or something like that. Right, that's what these people are about, So it truly is amazing.

We'll talk about up here in a second on Rock Fan Tornador. Thank you for the tip. I like to make memes as a hobby, and I've got one that I think perfectly summarizes the first Sandy Hook Alex Jones trial. Would you mind if I send you some memes? And what would be the best way to send them to you? David Knight's show at Proton Mail by the best way. We'll be on to look out for it. Thank you.

Appreciate that Trump is telling you a massive crowd now that on day one he's going to have the busiest day ever for any present and he's going to do it by executive order, because you know, we all want to have rule by executive orders, don't we. It worked out so well for us in his first term. Every one of these presidents and every successive one Democrat, Republican Democrat, Republican, Democrat, re public. They all have executive

orders, and they all have more executive orders than their predecessor. And so he is saying that by executive order on day one, I'm going to save the whales. I'm going to get rid of offshore wind mills. Okay, Well, there's so many different things that he could do, isn't it.

Why don't you, on day one say that you're going to get rid of the Paris Climate Accord, which was put in by your predecessor Obama, And you didn't get rid of it, and you didn't call for it to come up for a vote in the Senate because it is a treaty and it needs to be ratified by the Senate. Maybe you could do that, except that you're a demagoguing, liar politician. You're not going to do anything about the fundamental issues here. You're not going to do anything about the Paris Climate of

Court. You're gonna tell people going to save the whales. This is a guy who doesn't want to save the babies anymore, right, save the baby whales. I know he's going to save the whales, but he doesn't want to save the babies because that's too politically expensive for him anymore. And then, as I said before, he's out there projecting about how Biden is supposedly

the lockdown king when he was the one who did all this stuff. Nobody had ever done anything like that before, all of the lockdowns, and you're not a central stuff and anything that was all a Trump precedent. The left wing lunatics are trying very hard to bring back COVID lockdowns and mandates with all like you did. You're mongering about the new variants that are coming. Gee

whiz, you know what else is coming? An election? They want to restart the COVID hysteria so they can justify more lockdowns, more censorship, more illegal dropboxes, more men. What you did? You did that the first time, dollars and payoffs to their political allies heading into the twenty twenty four election. Does that sound familiar, Yeah, it sounds like what you did. These are sick people we're dealing with. But to every COVID tyrant who

wants to take away our freedom, hear these words. We will not comply with a constitution about it. We will not shut down our schools, We will not You did all of that lockdowns. You did all of that. God abide but your mask mandates, and we will not tolerate your vaccine mandates.

Unbelievable twenty twenty election. And now they're trying to do the same thing all over again by rigging the most important election in the history of our country, the twenty twenty four election, even if it means trying to bring back COVID. But they will fail because we will not let it happen. When I'm back in the White House, I will use every available authority to cut federal funding to any school, college, airline, or public transportations. He

knows how he did it. That imposes a mass It was with funding he paid for them to do it. Thank you very much. Say this is what the MAGA people can't get through their thick skulls. He paid the airlines and the schools and everybody to live the lockdowns that he told them to do. He is such a sick, disgusting liar. Just unbelievable. And then show this picture Trovis Trump's big gun entourage torches the merits of the sham business

records trial outside the courthouse. Now it is a sham trot, but look at these guys, this is the red tie brigade. They're all dressed exactly alike. They've all got a gray suit and a red tie red ties. I try not to wear one every single day, but here we are. You've got Ramaswami and you got Doug Bergham and everything. The red tie rigading

because it is a beauty contest. You know, it's kind of like, you know, if there were women, that'd be there in a swimsuit, I guess, but since they're men, they're all wearing their red Trump tie and they're all defending Trump at this courthouse as if he needs any defense.

Look, it's a rigged process. They'll probably find him guilty and he'll probably overturn it on appeal at some level because it is a rigged process and the rig process, they're probably going to get a conviction and then they will over overturn it. But it's really just about creating a big reality TV show, this salacious you know Trump and his women show. You know, it's like

which they always do. Uh. So they're all in a beauty contest to see who's going to be awarded mister Trump viep you know, and runner up Trump viep. They're all there and you know, shilling for him, and of course so Johnson was there yesterday as well. But when we look at Doug Burnham, as I mentioned earlier, he is a special case, and many people believe that he is going to be the pick. He's going to be the pick, not because Trump is going to try to do something too

in a dei sort of way. You know, get Tim Scott because he's black, or Christine Noman because she's female, or somebody else now that she shot her dog and bragged about it. But what Doug Burgham brings to the contest is very simple. Lots and lots of money. He's a billionaire himself, and of course Christine Oman, Doug Burnham, as I said earlier in the show, and Trump and the CEO of this pipeline scam to extract CO two out of the air and to pump it across the country at great expense

and into the ground and the Dakotas at great expense. What an unbelievable boondoggle this is. And yet they're all tied up in it. And so for all those reasons, and for all of Doug Bergham's big cash and everything that's what everybody believes is going to happen. And again, I'll put up that report on Rumble since you can't see it for some reason, and we'll see what happens when we repost it. But Daniel McCarthy is not the only one. I'm not the only one. Harry Hound thinks it's going to be Doug

Burgham. I think it will be as well. Uh. And Daniel McCarthy, writing at WND, says Donald Trump really knows how to run a talent show. He really knows how to run a reality show. He's had Beauty Contest. This is beauty contest. He's had The Apprentice. This is like the Apprentice. You know. It's these vice presidential candidates, he said. And it's kind of interesting because you know, and he's very sympathetic to Trump. He likes Trump, unlike me. He says, nobody's going to watch

these reality TV shows if you don't have a competition that is credible. So he plays up the competition. Folks, this is what's going on with the entire election between Trump and Biden. You know, the winner has already been chosen by the powers that be. They want you to watch this. They want you to focus on this because they don't want you to focus on your own life. They don't want you to focus on your own community, your own state where you could actually change things. No, you need to be

caught up in the presidential reality show. And he's going to pick this guy, just like RFK Junior picked you know, a Google billionaire by marriage to be his running mate as well. And he talks about this, he says, this is kind of interesting. You know, when you look at Doug Bergham, he's in nothing. He had so little support that he offered twenty dollars gift cards if he gave him a dollar donation. Remember I reported that. He goes, that's going to be a scam. It's not a credit

card scam. He did that. What they said was you have to have a certain number of unique donors in order to be able to participate in the first debate, and they had a similar thing for the second debate, and he had. It only cost him like a million dollars is nothing to him. Million dollars in presidential politics, especially if somebody wo's already independently wealthy billionaire, that's nothing at all. So he paid a million dollars to get into

the debate, and you could have a piece of that. If you sent him a one dollar donation or more, he would send you back twenty dollars. And that's how he got in. And he had to do that because nobody cared about him. He had to buy his way in and he'll probably buy his way in as Trump's running mate as well for the same reason and in the same way. And even with that, after the first one or two debates, he couldn't hack it, and so he had to drop out.

Even buying his way into debate wasn't going to work for him. So it truly is about money. As I said, Look, you could have he'd have Tim Scott to get the Black vote, Marco Rubio to get the Hispanic vote, or you know, a woman to get more. But what does Doug Bergham bring? Money? Lots of it money. This co two gas lighter project is the real issue, the financial angle. Just like rf K JR R f K Junior's running mate is an empty suit, and so

is Bergham quite frankly, even though he is the governor there. Biden once slammed Trump's China terrace, and now he's building on them. That's right, left, right, left, right. Yeah, he built on Trump's lockdowns. He built on Trump's six foot magic distance, Trump's masks. He built on Trump's vaccine. As a matter of fact, he built on Trump's vaccine mandate. Trump had put in the mandate for the military. It was going to kick in at exactly the time that Biden's mandate kicked in. How did

they know? How did they know? Yeah, we all knew, and I talked about it at the time. We're gonna take a quick break and we'll be right back making sense common again. You're listening to the David Night Show. All right, welcome back. Let's talk a little bit about the pandemic, about the bird flu pandemic that they just keep pushing and pushing. It's like the everready bunny. Unlike the battery operated cars, this one just

keeps going and going. Scientists sell fear that cattle may become a permanent host for bird flu. Well, then maybe you need to call it cow flu. They're going to become a permanent host for it. Be very afraid. We got a lot of cows, and we've got lots of people who are working around cows. They say, and so it's just inevitable, it's going to happen. Wait a minute, Wait a minute. You don't have any cows that are sick. You don't have any cowboys who are sick either.

You got a guy who got pink eye. That's not the flu. His lungs were clear, he didn't have fever, he had no flu symptoms whatsoever. You can get pink eye by not washing your hands and rubbing your eyes. He's working in a dirty environment. Could that be the Oh no, we're going to use that. And they continue to use this. So the latest fear, it's coming from outlet Earth, and they said cattle may become a permanent host for bird flu. The recent findings that pasteurized milk in the

United States is no longer suspected. Why would you suspect it? And again, do you notice they haven't tested eggs at all. And this is a bird flu. They've killed tens of millions of birds in the last couple of years, using this as an excuse to raise the price of chickens, to

raise the price of eggs and everything. And yet even though they've killed tens of millions of chickens, they didn't say that they were sick, they would come in if they used the PCR test and got a positive result from this process of magnifying whatever they pull out there by one point one trillion times. If they're using the same cycle of magnification that they used during the COVID fake pandemic. If that's that's what they're still doing, likely they are, or

even more, they didn't bother to test any chicken meat. They didn't test any eggs. But it's all about the cows. All about the cows. Now, bird flu is all about cows. They're so obviously transparent in all of this because they have made it very clear they want to shut down the farms and they want to shut down cattle and all the rest of this stuff. They want to ban meat and dairy and so that's what this is all about. Can't people see this? So they said, the persistence of the

bird flu virus and the US cattle population is alarming. Experts say, who fear that cattle could become a lasting reservoir for the virus. Again, we need to have this, We need to have the cows from chick fil A holding up a sign test more mor chickens, spell it, miss spell it test, the chickens leave us alone. Stop, you know, but that's the chickens, and I have the chickens standing around with some masks on their

faces. I guess eventually the wrong combination of gene segments and mutations inevitably come along, said the This is Earth outlet Earth magazine. So eventually the wrong combinations of gene segments and mutations inevitably come along. Whatever opportunity we may have had to nip it in the bud, It's like it's a Deputy Barney Fife nip it in the bad andy. We gotta nip it in the bud. Well, we whatever chance we may have had to nip it in the bud,

we lost by a really slow detection. See, we're going to go even faster, says Michael Warribe, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Arizona. This guy is an evolutionary biologist. In his entire career is built on a lie of evolution. Evolution, evolution of bacteria. Well, we're not even talking about bacteria. We're talking about a virus. But again, when we talk about oh look we got a super bug that evolved, you know

where that is there wasn't any additional DNA added to this superbug. Whenever they have a situation they say, well, we got bacteria that are resistant to this or resistant to that. What has happened is that they applied it. And you'd just like to say, take your full course of antibiotics, right, but you've got you apply this. And it's just like when they poisoned us with the shots. Not everybody is going to succumb to it. Because

of genetic variations. Some people will be immediately killed by the trump shots. Other people will die slowly, and so the same thing is true of the bacteria. Not all of them are going to be killed. And so what happens is, you know, you got a better chance of getting all of

them if you let it run for a very long time. But if you just do it a little bit, you're gonna kill the bacteria that are most susceptible to it, and the other ones who have some resistance to it or a lot of resistance to it will survive, and they'll be the ones that will continue to breed. They call that evolution. It's not evolution. They're not gaining any function, they're not turning, they're not going from molecules.

To man, they're not evolving into some higher life form. Hi, he tried to kill me as a bacteria, but now I'm back and now I'm an insect. No, that's not happening. That's not happening at all. Evolutionary biology is a lie, folks. If it's molecules, de mand. Yes, they do change, but you know, they play these games, you know, like Darwin's game about you know, finches and stuff like that.

And some of the people who succeeded him, I said, oh, look, we've got these these finch that are around the Grand Canyon, and they look identical to the ones on the south end, look identical to the ones on the north end. But because they've been separated, their mating song has changed, and so they won't the ones who combine, the ones from the south and the north, they won't mate with each other anymore. So they've evolved into different species, and they start calling them a different species.

No they're not. They're biologically identical. It's like cormonati and the Pfiser bio intech. But legally, from an evolutionary biologist standpoint, they're legally distinct, just like Cormonati and Pfizer Biointech. If you have a virus that is hopscotching back and forth between cows, humans, and birds, then that virus is going to have selective pressures to grow efficiently in all of those species, says

a virologist at the University of Saskatchewan. Well, we don't have a virus that is hopscotching back and forth between cows, humans and birds, do we. That's fun them in a lie. It's not happening, and they go on to try to make this the case. The constant interaction between humans and these vast numbers of animals makes cattle and extremely concerning reservoir for bird flu.

Well, if there is constant interaction between these gazillions of cows and the humans who take care of them, you might also think about the fact that since no humans or cows have gotten sick in spite of this constant interaction, then maybe it's not being transmitted. If it was transmissible, don't you think you would have some people who are sick, and yet you don't. And this article, though, will then bring back this tired canard of the guy who

got pink eye. No fever, no congestion, no cold, no nothing, nothing in his lungs. He got pink eye, and he was working with cattle. Therefore he's got bird flu. Therefore he's made of wood. There we goes. It's like mighty python science. It really is. When you see symptomatic patience, it's just the tip of the iceberg, said another falsely labeled scientific expert. We have awareness now from the COVID pandemic of how devastating that could be. And this is not a virus is going to disappear

by any means. And of course we have Trump's fearmonger and Chief Redfield has now made three separate time this is the next pandemic. This is the big thing. He's pushing it and pushing it and pushing it. Nothing has changed. There's no difference between Trump and Biden on this issue, folks. Trump is more dangerous because people who would oppose this and have opposed it under Biden will just back off and let Trump push. That's lie, and he will

push the line just like he pushed it. In twenty twenty, bird flu virus is possibly found and a handful of wastewater sites, says the CDC. You know what else is found? And when water sites fluoride, and the CDC has fought tooth and nail to keep that in there and to keep that hidden from people, and to keep the effects of fluoride hidden. Yeah, fluoride is found. We've got SSRIs, We've got all kinds of disruptive chemicals that are not filtered out by the water systems and the wastewater sites. So

but be afraid, be very afraid. Listen to how they carefully push this fear. They crap. This is NBC. So here's their headline. Bird flu virus is possibly found in a handful of wastewater sites, says the CDC. What do they mean by possibly, Well, further down in the article, it says the bird flu currently circulating in cows is a type of influenza A. So this is a category. This is a not that specific bird

flu. They didn't find specifically bird flu. They said they found influenza A, and bird flu is one type of many types of influenza A. They didn't come anywhere close to finding it. They magnify this stuff, as carry Mullis said, you know, you can find anything with this process or the PCR, if you can find anything in the world, magnifying it enough. And now they didn't find bird flu, but they found traces of influenza A, and influenza A is a broader category of which bird flu is one specific

thing. But they didn't find bird flu specifically. So influenza A has been detected at a higher than average level. It's always there. And is it detected at a higher than average level of existence or a higher than average level of quote unquote PCR magnification? Right? Is it a more magnification from PCR or is it a greater density? And of course it's not bird flu, it's influenza A that is there. The agency is monitoring two hundred and sixty

people. CDC is monitoring two hundred and sixty people who have been exposed to infected dairy howse for flu like symptoms? Now what does that tell you? See? How they they the truth, the whole truth, and nothing by the truth. They're spinning this. They're telling you the truth, but they're not telling you the whole truth. If they're monitoring two hundred and sixty people looking for flu like symptoms, they're implying that two hundred and sixty people have

flu like symptoms, not a single one does. They're monitoring them. They're hoping that they will get flu like symptoms, but they're not getting flu like symptoms. They got two hundred sixty people that they're watching in You better believe that if one of them catches a cold. Let's hope that they don't catch a summer cold, because if one of these two hundred and sixty people catches a cold, that's it. It'll be global headlines, a global pandemic.

Bird flu has finally gotten out. Coach is going to happen. They're monitoring two hundred and sixty people for flu like symptoms, but they haven't found any. And they're not even saying that they've tested positive with this PCR process, which is again an invalid test. They say, and then they repeat this, We've had a severe case of conjunctivitis or pinki. It's a kitty disease. It was not severe. I showed you pictures. I said, here's

all these pictures. You know, pinky uvi idis, which by the way, is a identified adverse effect from the Pfizer shot. And you can't tell the difference between pink eye from a gnat or from somebody wiping their dirty hands on their eyes. You can't tell the difference from conjunctivitis, which is from the outside, and uv idises, which is from the inside, with these shots or some other thing like that. And I said, take a look

at these and can you tell which one is which? And so I showed a whole bunch of people had pink eye, whole bunch of people had uv itis. And I showed the guy that had bird flu. Is he any worse than any of these other people? No? So the other was a lot worse than what he had. So again, it's not flu. Nobody is sick, not a single one. If one of them is sick,

it'll be a worldwide global headlines. And it's not going to be if, but it'd be when eventually, as they're monitoring these two hundred and sixty people, somebody's going to get sick with something. And even if it isn't a cold, if it's something like conjunctiveis pink eye, If they get sick with anything, they're going to call it bird flu. It doesn't even have to be the flu. They're going to call it that absolutely amazing unrumble uh travagline.

I thank you for the Depp says, give the animals. Ivermectin problem solved. Yeah, that's right. Hey, y'all, it's horse medicine. Why don't you give the horse medicine to the cows, because you're giving all the bird flu tests to the cows, give them some of the horse medicine. That FDA says ivermectin is exactly right. CDC issues an urgent warning against raw milk. See, they've got their targets. Their targets are meat dairy.

Their targets are local production, local farms who might do something like raw meat and all that kind of stuff. So that's what they want to pin this on. Don't have any raw milk because of bird flu. Not a single person sick. But again, always go to every story a false narrative, narrative. Every story is focusing on what they want to achieve their quote unquote solution. And as I said before, former CDC director, this is

the way it's always put out there by the Trump press. They don't identify that the headlines at least that he is a Trump guy, the Trump guy that scared us, that lied to us. In twenty twenty, Robert Redfield, he says for the third time that the bird flu will be the next great pandemic. And again he's talking about its gain of function and all the rest of this stuff. These people, these evolutionary biologists, don't pay them any attention. They are lying out one side of their mouth the other.

Let's take a quick look before we have our guest join us at the top of the hour. I got this email from Australia Victoria, Australia listener there, I'm glad to know that you're listening in Australia, said that this is what is happening in Australia. After banning gas cooking and new home home buildings in Victoria, they're now coming after wood heaters. And I said, I'm confused. Up until the early eighties and Victoria, everyone used to incinerate their

garbage in the backyard. Nobody died in my neighborhood from all those fumes. However, all of a sudden, people are dying from wood fire smoke. I don't get it. Yeah, yeah, if you're burning plastics or some other things, right, that could be very toxic fumes, but not wood. Well, here's the way this runs. And I had a long experience with this research. Triangle Park in North Carolina. It's right around. I

have three cities and have three universities. You got n C State, you got UNC, and you have Duke and they're in Raleigh, Chapel Hill, and Durham respectively, and then the center of that they have a research area and in a lot of different companies. I worked for one of them there, and EPA has a really big presence there. I knew some people who worked for EPA. I also knew some people who were Steve Maloy and others

who were exposing the lies that they were doing in the EPA. When we built our house quite a bit before all this stuff happened, we had a guy who put it in and he said, yeah, that I just did this for some guys who worked for the EPA. They said that they had tested wood fired fireplaces, and they said this is by far and away the cleanest burning, most thorough burning of all them because it had an inn ceramic

core. You built a masonry thing around it, and it had baffling that went up and down before it went out, so it burned everything pretty thoroughly. But right at the time I was leaving North Carolina in twenty twelve to

go to info wars. There was a situation that Steve Mulloy saw where they were looking for people who had respiratory and heart issues and they brought that and then some of them got sick, and so they got his attention, and he dug further and he found that they were searching for people had these issues. They were exposing them to find particulate matter two point five nanometers, and that's for diesel, right, and also for this type of thing, which

is exactly what's happening there in Australia. They're still talking about fine particulate matter of two point five and as all that was happening, and they were doing that experiment and they were exposing people to seventy two times what they said was the maximum amount people should be exposed to. You had Obama's EPA director Lisa Jackson giving testimony in a little back and forth scripted thing with then Congressman Ed Markey, who's now a senator, and she said, Congressman Marque, I'm

not talking about people getting sick. I'm talking about people dying. We got people dying from fine particulate matter at a higher rate than people who are dying from cancer. She actually said that, and at that time, they were exposing people that they'd screened who were sick, who had respiratory and heart issues. They were exposing them to seventy two times a level that the EPA said

was allowed. When I did that report about them, and I showed their website, they've scrubbed it now, but on their website they said, well, smoky mountains. You know, this is a good example, and that was their picture at the top of the thing about fine particular matter. Two

point five smoky mountains. This is an example of fine particular matter. Well, how profoundly did they not realize that the Smoky Mountains were called the Smoky Mountains by the Cherokee long before there was an industrial revolution, long before there were you know, wood fire probably places at a large enough amount to make it smoke. It's it's that way because of the condensation of the moisture and things like that. Whenever it rains, you see the Smoky Mountains get like

that. But they tried to make it about industrial pollution, about diesel engine and stuff. It was absolutely absurd, And I called him out on that, and we called him out because the people I've been working with sued them under the He said that you violated the the prohibitions of experimenting on people without their consent, which of course we've now seen that done in space, right,

and so you know they were suing them with that. I did that, and I knew a guy from Church who worked for the EPA in research Trungle Parky, and he was telling me about this because he didn't like what they were doing either, and he wasn't the source of the stuff. But what he told me was, he said, they're really upset about what you just said, you know all of stuff. I said, Really, they're watching me, watching me. I was surprised that they were watching the stuff

that I was doing, but I got their attention. They were being sued by these other guys I was covering that I was interviewing them. I was doing my own reports about the EPA and everything. And he said, and I just mentioned on air, I said, you know, one of the guys that I know at church, are you know, has told me that they're they're really upset about this. And I didn't mention his name or anything.

But then he tells me, he says, I got called in on this, and he said, we know you're the one who's talking to him and anything, and it's like wow, you know, so, yeah, it's been a long game. And now they're playing this game in Australia and that's exactly what it is. Wood Heater smoke is estimated to kill up to sixty three people, they said in Australia each year, prompting calls for a national band. And again they're playing all through this article that he sent the

big lie about how smoke from wood is causing people to die. We're not talking about him getting sick. And at the same time you had the EPA exposing people these extremely high levels and again it's PM two point five particular matter two point five microns or so. Wood heaters estimated to be a nine hundred thousand Australia homes. Well, if that's the case, then why aren't people dropping dead left and right. As they said they used to burn their garbage.

A lot of that's going to be a lot more toxic. They go through different geographical areas of Australia projections and estimates. Oh, we think eleven to fifteen deaths in the capital. We think twenty six to thirty six deaths annually during milder years. I think wood heater use is highlighting pollution means only a few of them can affect entire neighborhoods. This is all just propaganda, it's all fear, it's all unbased. They set up to forty thousand wood

heaters are sold in Australia each year. They're estimated to be in nine hundred thousand homes. Well, then again, by the same logic, if it's dangerous, there'd be a lot more deaths than ten or fifteen, wouldn't there. When are we ever going to when are we ever going to respond to these government and media reports with the right amount of skepticism and even cynicism. Are cynical liars and propagandists, and we need to understand what is going on

with that. And yet of course they'll respond by shutting things down and by censoring him, as they always do. When we look at the MAGA people, and it is interesting, you know, when you look at the purging of this and how even the fact that you had this former NFL star Lawrence Taylor showing up at the Trump rallies, and I have seen that in so many different places. Did you know that I didn't realize this until Harry hun senate to me, did you know that he is a convicted sex offender?

Back in twenty eleven, he was convicted of sex with a sixteen year old a prostitute. He said, well, I thought she was older. But they registered him as a sex offender and then they rearrested him ten years later in twenty twenty one because he didn't notify them of a change of address. But hey, you know, he is a football player. That's all that matters. We're just fine with whatever else. He's a football player and he supports Trump, so that's all we need to know. Nothing else really matters.

We're going to take a quick break and we're going to be joined by Jay Warner Wallace. I think you're really going to enjoy this book he does. He is a former cold case detective and the name of the book is The Truth in True Crime. You know what can we learn from the kind of detective work that he was doing. We'll take a quick break and we'll be right back. You're listening to the David Night Show. You're listening to the David Knight Show. All right, welcome back in joining us now is

Jay Warner Wallace. He's been a guest once before. We've talked about his background. He was a cold case detective. This is somebody who goes by and investigates murder cases, things that don't have a statute limitations, murder cases where perhaps all the witnesses have died and he's just going back looking at the physical evidence of it. He's now written a book called The Truth and True Crime, and I love the tagline here, when investigating death teaches us about

the meaning of life. It looks like a fantastic book, and so I wanted to get him on to talk about that one as well. Thank you for joining us, sir, Well, thanks for having me. I really appreciate. This is my favorite book I've written so far, so I'm glad to talk about it. Oh, it looks like a great angle and you know, and something that you know really affects all of us, and everybody loves the crime aspect, and the things that you gleaned from it too are

really interesting. I think, Yeah, I think there's actually some hidden Like I was not a Christians through all my career, but to you know, the first eight years or so, I was not a believer until I was thirty five. I became a believer by examining the Gospels kind of from a forensic perspective. How do we know or why would we trust if we tested these people as eyewitnesses. Why would we even think Number one, that they

are written by eyewitnesses or even anybody who had access to eyewitnesses. And if you did believe that, how would you test them to see if they could pass the test? Now, once I was in I started to look at human behavior a little bit differently. Right, if you work murders, you are seeing people at their rawest point, the point at which all of the

kind of bars are off. I mean, this is Sadly, when you get to the point where you're willing to do something crazy like this, it's probably because you've been pushed to a certain limit and your true nature is now going to be revealed, and it really, I think, exposes all of

our true nature. So I wanted to write a book that has talked about like, what are these attributes fifteen attributes of human flourishing that I discovered in fifteen separate crime stories, and then talk about you know, is that something number one that Yeah, secular people they do studies on this and they confirm that this is these are fifteen things that if you simply embrace these fifteen prints,

suppose you will have a better life. But it turns out these are fifteen ancient descriptions of human nature from scripture that people for the most part, think they're discovering them in the last three three decades, when in fact these have been on the pages of the New Testament for two thousand years. And so I really wanted to do a book where I kind of demonstrated that that's amazing. Yeah, it's And why did you do a forensic investigation of Christianity

in the first place. Well, I was thirty five, so it was probably about nineteen ninety five or six, right in that range. It took me about eighteen months, I would say, to complete that stuff that I was. I was so skeptical and not raised around Christians or anybody really believed in God in a way they could articulate. So I didn't have like a leg up like somebody who could say, hey, look at this or look at that. I had to commit a raw and so I bought my first

Bible. I was thirty five, and it took me a while to kind of go through the Gospels, and I was just tearing them apart from just word usage. You know, all the attributes. I wrote about this in a book called Cold Case Christianity, and that book just kind of covers that journey. But that's something that'll get you to the point where you might believe it's true. Look, I think that as a boomer, as somebody who's older, I have a high value for whether something is true or not.

And there are people in my generation would probably agree. But I don't know that that's the case for young people gen z and millennials. I think they're not as concerned about whether something's true because they've co opted that word. That war doesn't mean it's true anymore. It means it's true for me. That's right. It's true based on my lived experience, or it's true based on how I have applied it to my life. Doesn't mean it's true for them. Now. When I use the word true, I'm using it in a

more objective way. But it's true for all of us, whether we like it or not. I think that this generation I'm talking to now is more concerned about whether or not it's good because they believe they've been sold by the culture that Christianity is the source behind every evil intent, misogyny, racism, homophobia, whatever it may be, it's really they are going to attribute it to this traditional Western culture worldview that we hold as Christians. So I wanted

to show that. Yeah, but if you didn't believe in Christianity, you're probably already employing its teaching if you're flourishing, and the more you detach from its teaching, the more you're going to struggle. So I just look, this is what we're seeing in culture. And so I wrote a book this time which really looks at all of the data. So most of my books

I spent a lot of time researching. And although this book has about fifty pages in the printed edition of footnotes, there are two hundred pages in the pdf file you provide online. Why because I want you to see that if I'm making this claim, it's supported by the data. But it turns out that that data simply supports what was claimed in scripture two thousand years ago. So it's eye opening for me to realize that our human it makes sense though.

Think about it. If we are designed by a creator God who knows something about us, and we are in his image. Then it turns out that that book we have called scripture, called the Bible ought to describe us the way we really are. Yes, And if it does describe us the way we really are, you could consider that at least. I was listening to a pundit who usually talks about politics recently who's Jewish, and when asked, when he defends why he's Jewish, he says, well, because it

turns out that these principles work. M hm, oh, that's interesting, and he sees that as an evidence that the worldview is true. Okay, And by the way, that may or may not be an evidence that your worldview is true. But it strikes me that if your worldview is true, it ought to describe you the way you really are. And so in that sense, it could provide you with some insight into your human nature and how you could flourish. Yeah, it would be necessary, not necessarily sufficient,

but it would be necessary for that. Yea's true, right, that's right, exactly right. Yeah, what's the most surprising thing that you found out

about human nature? And investigating this? Well, so every chapter is a crime story, right, So in one of these stories, I talk about celebrity and how sometimes when you are a local, especially in the gang cultures, if you're somebody who's known locally, you can kind of become like a celebrity in your own neighborhood or at least in your own click or your own gang. And I've got one of these stories here to show how detrimental our

pursuit of celebrity is. And the reason why I wrote that chapter is because I don't think it's just it's just not just a few of us who are seeking celebrity anymore. I mean, there are no gatekeepers. You know this, even think about it. We are able not to develop our own personal platforms without a gatekeeper at NBC, ABC or CBS that used to be or Salem right, whatever the radio station was that used to be the gate cape

keepers that kept people from becoming a celebrity. Those are gone. So now all of us, if we can develop a following, we can make it from zero to a million listeners without any support. And that's where I think we have to be careful. It turns out that one of the most powerful

attributes that we could adopt as humans that would change your life. As a matter of fact, if you simply embraced this virtue, you will have increased flourishing in every single metric that we use to actually measure human flourishing, longevity, mental health, physical health, the deepness of your relationships. That I will improve your marriage, I'll make you a better employer, a better employee, You'll learn at a higher level, you'll get better grades, you'll make

more money. I mean, every way that we measure flourishing improves if you simply adopt this one thing, and it's really the opposite of celebrity. It is the attribute we know as humility. Now, they've been studying this for about three decades and looking at all kinds of studies that are out there that talks about how humble people succeed at levels that are far higher than the rest of us, and why that might be true. Okay, fine, but

it turns out that humility is one of those things. I think if I ask people, hey, what do you think the one attribute you could adopt that would help you in every aspect of your life at a higher level than anything else, I don't think many people would come up with humility. But it turns out, yeah, it is actually the thing we need to embrace. Now, what's interesting about that. Think about every worldview that's out there.

None of them leverage humility like the Christian worldview. What I mean is if your theistic worldview, your spiritual worldview encourages you to do these certain things to reach the highest level that your spiritual worldview offers. In other words, if it is about earning something, it's a transaction between you and God, a transaction between you and the universe. There's no way to avoid pride in that kind of a system, because at some point you're going to look across

the room and say, I'm doing better than that. Did We measure based on our achievements, right. And I have a friend who's now no longer with this name, Mike Adams. Mike and I would travel and do a lot of events together, and he used to always tease writ in this book how to become a humble in ten easy steps and how I made it in eight You know, it's like this, there's no way that you can pursue humility without at some point doing just the opposite and becoming prideful. So it

turns out that humility is something you It's an assessment. Spurgeon calls it the proper assessment of who we are before a holy God. Now, Christianity leverages this because it's the one worldview that says, no, it's not a transaction. There's nothing you can do to earn this. As a matter of fact, if whatever the highest thing you think you hope to achieve in your worldview is, We're going to give it to you. It's a free gift over here. Why so that Paul says, no one can boast. It's an

antidote to pride and celebrity. It's an antidote to look what I did is look what's been done for me. This view requires us to begin in humility because to say that, Okay, there is God and it's not me, well, it's a very humble position. I'm not the God of my own

the center of my own decision making universe. Well, this begins and ends in our Savior says this pulses have the attitude that Jesus had, who, although he existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but instead emptied himself taking the form of a bond servant, taking the form. In other words, it's all humility.

Start to finish, and as difficult as that is for us to achieve, if we don't recognize its power in our lives, will never even try to submit, will never even begin to let go of the things that possess us. So I just want to spend one chapter in these fifteen chapters talking about the role that celebrity plays. And by the way, almost every crime you're going to, every crime you're going to commit, is driven by the different chapter. But these three prideful motives. It's the pursuit of money, the

pursuit of sex, or the pursuit of power. Now, that pursuit of power, that's a huge category of misbehavior, and that's where celebrity fits all of us. Look, you and I both would we like more people to listen to what we're saying? Of course we would. So although we might protect ourselves from the pursuit of money and the pursuit of sex with knowing that that can derail us, we don't usually protect ourselves from the pursuit of celebrity.

In fact, what we typically do is want to increase that area of our life, so we can We'll argue, oh, because I want to reach more people with this divine message really, so we will increase the celebrity. Now, now here's the danger in it. And this is a different chapter, but there's a danger in this. I have never known anyone of those three motives for misbehavior, and there are only three. There's not a

fourth motive. There isn't. Now you can discover this secularly working as a homicide detective, or you can discover this on the pages of scripture, because John writes about it in one of his letters. But my point is, these are only three motives out there for stupid, and if you don't protect yourself from those three motives for stupid, you will eventually do one of them.

Here's what I've noticed. If you begin to scratch one of those itches, you will eventually scratch the other two because the other two become available to you on the basis of what you've achieved in the third. So you see this, and even Christian leaders right where they fall for someone Why, well, here's why, in my opinion, because as a congregation, or as your deacon board or your elder board, they're trying to protect their pastors from

the sex and money. But everyone wants their pastor to be known more so they can build a bigger church, and when you increase your celebrity, you only open the door to the other two. So this is why I've struggled with this even in writing this book, because as I'm writing this book, if I'm going to heed my own advice, I have to do less of this, because it turns out all of this talking about a book you've written is about you trying to amplify your platform, amplify your influence in culture.

And that's I think there's a good by the way all three of them, these things have been designed by God for his glory and for our good. We just happened to distort them. So sex, money, in power is something that God is giving us in a positive way. This is another chapter in the book. It's a chapter about a guy who was basically homeless and

was killed. And I'm thinking, what are these three motives? What did this killer have to gain from this homeless guy who was so sweet They called him Santa Claus because he looked like Santa Claus and he was as sweet as Santa Claus. And what does he offer in terms of sex, money, or power that would be worthy of killing him? Well, here's what happens is that when we focus on those things that are given to us by God instead of on the God who gave him to us, we're stopping one level

short of our worship. And we all worship. Everyone worships, whether you're a believer or not. There is something that you think as of utmost importance that you dare not take that from me, because that's the thing that I covet And this idolatry is what causes us. So in this particular case, this poor guy had slipped over. They were he was recycling stuff. Every day, he would go out and spend the first half of his day picking

up trash cans, going through trash cans and picking up recyclables. Then he would take them to the recycling center and get just enough money to go and he would buy alcohol and food in the afternoon. And that was his day every day, very very workmanlike. And he had slipped into an area of our city that another guy who was doing the same thing felt was his alley.

Don't be picking trash out of those two cans. And although the amount of money that Santa Claus probably got from that was what pennies dollars, maybe it was enough. So he confronted this guy. He confronted Santa Claus and said, don't be doing that anymore at a recycling center, and Santa Claus kind of just blew him off. Well, it turned out in that one moment he had triggered the two of the three things. Number One, he had disrespected him. So the idea of power, authority, respect, that's

in the third category. Now I'm upset because you disrespected me in front of my peers too. You take pennies or dollars. But because I've turned both of these things, I covet them at a high level. I've now turned them into idols. You dare not try to destroy my idols. And that night he stabbed into death over virtually nothing. This is the power of idolatry. And by the way, it's not just people you work and work in

homicides, it's all of us. And so on that chapter. What I try to do in every chapter is show you, hey, if this is your struggle, whatever these things are, here's a way for you to address it. And in this chapter, I just to ask fifteen questions, like what you want to know what your idols are? Because we all have them,

well, ask these fifteen questions and you probably identify them. And then once you've identified him, you can start to actually think, Okay, look, it's something that God has created it rather than the God who created it. We simply have to transfer our worship up one levels, just from the level where we're stopped in God's creation and back to the creator. And so

it's something that if you do it, you will flourish. Will you will not Number one, you'll protect yourself from stupid and number two, you'll actually start to pursue the things that contribute to a meaningful life. And I think that you do that with thankfulness because when you say thank God for what that is, and sincerely think about what it is that God is giving you, you look at it as not something that you've achieved, then that does move

it to the higher level. And yeah, with that right now, I'm I'm skipping across a number of different chapters here, but yeah, I think you're right. I think the part of it is is that what I've discovered and is true of all of us is the least thankful people are the people who think they have nothing to be thankful for, or the least forgiving people

are the people who think they have nothing to be forgiven for. So it does turn out that a proper assessment of who you are, because it's really easy for me to think, well, everything I've got in my life I achieved that. Yes, I am the reason for all my success, the reason for everything I've ever possessed. Okay, if that's your view, well, that kind of pride is it doesn't lead any more positive. That's right, because anytime anyone challenges that that might not be the case, you're now

offended. And so it turns out that whatever it is we've worshiped that becomes the master, the master that you dare not question, the Master that I'm now willing to give up tons of time for resources for. I can say that, you know, I had that early on when I was young. I had a lot of success with a lot of stuff very easily, and I did think it was what I had done. And I got to say, it was such an amazing blessing for God to take that away from me

and humble me, you know, And that's exactly what it was. And I thank God for that taking that away from me. The biggest blessings of my life. And you're absolutely, and I think you and I as guys, we are even more prone to this because and this is a differentis chapter

two of the book. It's an identity issue for us. I mean a lot of it is is that I don't have my as a Christian, ought to have my identity in Christ. But the way we form identity, and I covered this in the book, we don't typically form it that way. What we typically do instead is we form it as men in our achievements, in what it is we've achieved. So if I asked, you know, who are you David Well, You're going to say I'm the host of this show. If you said, who are you, Jim Well, I'm a

cold case detective. Okay? Is that who I am? Look, I haven't been in a dayline episode in three years. Okay, I need at some point you need to say, Okay, who are you really, Jim? And this struggle of identity is so key to how we function in the world because identity is really exposed as our forms of worship, because I guarantee, as men, we typically form our worship based on what we do.

You know identity when you study it in the surveys and the research on this, it's inseparable from value and purpose, and unfortunately a lot of us form our identity based in reverse. In other words, we asked the question where am I valuable? What am I good at? What do I have purpose in? That's who I am? Rather than say, well, no,

who am I? I want to form my value and purpose based on my identity first, not my identity based on my value and purpose, because that's the problem, because there's nothing but pride that comes out of forming your identity based on what you're good at, because it's about what you're good at. Yes, so this is and it's the biggest, one single move that leads to contentment is to reform your identity not based on what you can achieve, but based on what you receive from a holy God. That is amazing.

When you're talking about that, you say, you know, how do you define yourself? Is it the show that you have, is it the book that you've written, or is the career that you have. It makes me think back to the Austrian Empire when they would have their emperors die. They had these big, elaborate funerals and they would take them to this amazing crypt Actually I've been there with my family to see this thing, and it truly

is amazing. And they would have as they bring the body into the crypt, they would knock, and the person inside would say who goes there? And they would give all of the big political titles, you know, he's the empire of the empire of this, and the king of that and all the rest of the stuff. I don't know him. And then they would knock again and they say who is it, and he would give family relationships

right that he has. I don't know him. And then he'd knock a third time and it would say and it's a humble sinner, Ronz Joseph, I know him, enter, you know. And that's a kind of an interesting thing. Awesome. Yeah, that's an awesome just a word picture of what we're talking about here. Now. This is something that is and I don't know how much time we have on this, but let me just say I've got a friend named Joe Martin who's a doctor, who is a philosopher

and a theologian. We got plenty of time, by the way. So he says that men are all about the Asians. When we have conversations, it's all about the Asians. And I think it does expose how we form identity. So here, for example, he would say, when we meet another guy, we shake hands and we say what do you do? First day is occupation? Okay, that's the first aation. And when we're not really asking what do you do? We are because of how we form identity.

As met we're asking who are you now? As we ask that, all identity, remember, is comparative. It's not about well, how wealthy are you? It's how wealthy are you compared to this guy or everybody else. That's how you know if you're wealthy, how smart are you compared to others? Sadly, identity is for by comparing, and that's why it's so prideful, right, because we have a tendency to say, well I'm better over here, I'm better over there. So occupation is the first ation,

and then what we're measuring. We're saying, okay, well I know what that job requires in terms of education. Second aation, we're now we're saying, well he's better educated or I'm better educated. We're measuring here we are in that first conversation with another guy, and by asking what is your occupation, we're starting to measure the other ass second one as education. Third,

well, we're asking, well, I know what that makes. If you're a surgeon, I know you're making some or if you're an accountant, whatever it is, you're measuring compensation. That's the next station. So at some point then you're asking, too, how good are you at this? You could be a doctor, but just be a terrible doctor. Reputation is the next ation. What are we doing here, Well, we're measuring based on

we're assigning value based on the answers here. And if you're a guy, if you're a cop, especially, you could be somebody who's that's got nothing more than a high school education and you're working as a patrol officer and I've been making that much money, you've never tried to do anything other. But if you're six foot eight and cut like a Greek god, you're still the biggest dog in the room. Because now it's about intimidation at the last station.

So I think he's got a point. It's very unlike now. I'm sure that for all of us. If you're not a guy, you're a woman, and you're listening to this, then there's probably some other level of but be honest, we do this all the time, and because identity is comparative, it really takes it rears its head, most notably in group gatherings where you're introducing yourself, because now you're getting the opportunity to compare. Well, there's the danger in it, and identity becomes the thing that, sadly

is behind so much of our trauma and struggle. This is a separate chapter of this book. I'll give you an example of this. We would do a lot of work now with officers to Billy Graham Association in the summer. So we're getting ready to lead in two weeks here to do the first of six weeks of counseling for marriage resiliency for officers who have been involved in critical incidents and now they're struggling in their marriage. And sometimes they only men get

there before they get a divorce. They get a divorce, they say, we're not coming. I always say, just hold on, just try to get through this trip first before you make a decision that big. But this is the the dire straits therein Okay. I discovered only three or four years ago that the thing that is the biggest struggle for officers is, especially if

you're injured is identity. It turns out that if you were to look at all of the trauma in your life, whatever it was, if it was an injury, you suffered, a divorce, a loss of a job, a child being loved, whatever you lost, whatever it was you suffered in the trauma, you'll see that at that same point you were suffering the trauma, you had a relatively dramatic shift in your identity. You thought of yourself as married. Now you're divorced, you see yourself differently. Identity is simply

how you continuously see yourself. The self is at the issue, and every time you suffer a trauma, you suffer an identity shift. So it's interesting that trauma typically causes an identity shift, but the opposite is also true. An identity shift often causes trauma. So if you wanted to protect yourself from trauma, or minimize the kind of trauma you'll experience, you need to put your identity in something that can't be shifted, stolen from you, taken from

you, bruised in some way, damaged in some way. And of the three ways that we form identity inside out, outside in, or top side down, only one of these three ways is stable enough to protect you from shifting. If you're forming your identity outside in where you say it like, this is how the ancients did it. You know, this thing outside of me existed before I was ever born, and I'm just going to reach out and grab that and form my identity. So it's a tribe. That's the

tribe I was raised in. It's the name of my family name, it's the profession of my family. We're all cops, so that's like who I am. Okay, that's outside in identity, and I all of us do some of that inside out based on my desires, my preferences, even my sexual preferences. I'm going to ask you outside of me to identify me based on my innate hearts, desires. Okay, that's inside out identity. Both of those are unstable because at some point your job, you're going to retire,

than who are you then? Or you're going to get injured and or your desires are going to change because your heart is fickle. It's just the nature of it. Well, then get ready to suffer some trauma on the course you're like, now, if you've formed your identity top side down, where you put it in something that's transcendent and unchanging. Then you're going to have lows in your life, of course, but they're going to be not quite as deep because that the day before you suffer the injury, you were

a child of You were in Christ. That day. The day after you suffer the injury, you're still in Christ. You're still the same. God sees you the same way. Now, are you going to struggle because you're an injury? Of course? But who you are hasn't changed. And it turns out that's the thing that we struggle with the most, even in an injury. It's not so much just the pain of the injury, it's who am I now? And that's why we have to kind of really be serious

about our identity formation or we're going to find ourselves. It's about human flourishing. It really is. Yeah, And of course you know it's about integ and we often think about integrity is how other people perceive us or something, but it really is how you perceive yourself. Do you have that integrity? And you have that integrity if you're thinking about that from top down? This

is so wise. I'm really enjoying listening to you talk about this, and I think about how unique things are right now, as you begin talking about that, you said, you know, this lure of being famous or a lot of people following you, that all comes as a social media stuff. It truly is amazing to me to see that and how that has transformed younger people. And it is such a transformational thing to think that there is some value in having a bunch of people that you don't know, you know,

following you and everything I'm tell you focusing on that, it's amazing. Yeah, that is something that we take for granted, David. We take it for granted because yes, we are now in an age the information age has become the identity age. Why because, so how do we start? If you go on our social media platforms? What's the very first thing? We have a moniker, like, what is the public name? I'm going to adopt that I want you to see me. As second, we're going to

put a bio. Now we're going to list a series of priorities, identity priorities in the bio. So all of this, then we're going to spend the next how many years on social media posting only in a way that amplifies the way I already want you to see me, that's right. So I'm not going to reveal something of myself that violates the identity I've already established. And even if I'm not even thinking about it, my posts always expose who

I am. And there were times in generations prior where you didn't know who people were, and the way you know who they are now, having access to everything we think gives us gives people complete access to who we really are. And I think we know that if a republic figure, and so we're careful. You know, I never post anything about my family on social media. I stay pretty focused in that area of what it is I'm trying to

communicate related to the gospel, and I just stay focused on that. Now, that doesn't that gives people a view of me that's not actually true. It's the view that I'm crafting for them, and we have to be aware of that. But everyone does that. I mean, I see people I follow who you think all they do is eat getting But it's really that it's

not just that we are in some way forming and sharing our identity. It's that we are also revealing our idols, We're revealing our priorities, We're revealing this stuff that we think is so consequential, so important that we are willing to proclaim it. That's one of the ways you can you can see what your idols are. Ask yourself, like, look at your social media streams, Well, I want to know what your idols are. I can kind of figure it out if you've got a social media platform, right, that's

right. Yeah, we got a full lifelog that is up there. Yeah. You know, it's such a shallow things we're talking about with social media. It's there so that you know, you can glorify yourself. Isn't it interesting that in the last days people become such lovers of self that that we've never had those tools, that we've never had the tools to magnify it exactly.

Yeah, And I think at some point we are going to have We're going to see that this is not beneficial to our well being and we're going to volunteerly pull back a little bit, or we're going to reach a point in our lives where we're going to burn out on it and we're going to put so you might be more active on social media at some point in your

life than you are later. But I'm also trying to be very careful not to be the old guy who's just shaking his fist at the moon, right, Because yeah, I use social media as much as anybody else, but I do want us to be very practical about it. Like, look, if we're trying to protect ourselves from what causes us to do bad things,

we have to have a very honest assessment of who we are. Are we buying instant different chapter in the book, But are we by nature innocent, born innocent, born virtuous, and we are corrupted by our families, by our environments, by the systems that are in place, from government systems. Is that who we are? Or is the flip true that we are by nature fallen and depraved enough, but no matter what system you put us in, we'll find a way to corrupt it, even religious systems. Which of

those two things is true? We need to figure that out because if the second is true, which has always been the claim of the Christian worldview, that we are by nature fallen, well, now we can explain certain aspects of what happens in culture, and we can put our resources in the right

direction. Look, Luther put it this way. We are so inwardly focused that we can take even things that are good and corrupt them and do them for selfish You can even behave uber morally, but you're doing it for selfish reasons. Yea. Even our efforts to do something godly are entirely depraved and

selfish, is what his claim is. This is what you find also in the modern studies of about altruism, like people are trying to figure out, like, how could it be that someone who could be a Pulitzer prize winner can also kill his spouse or her spouse? How could that be? How could it be that there's somebody who, for the last thirty years has been an exemplar in our community, the deacon at the church, the doctor who delivered my babies, Yet thirty years ago he killed his wife. How could

that be? There's no way he could be that duplicit? Is there? This enigma of man has to be sorted out. Now. What I see in the studies is that, yes, we do have good examples of the altruism of humans. Humans are capable of great altruism. They are until it doesn't serve them personally. So in other words, I'm usually the studies show that humans are usually pretty generous until resources get tight. Then we start hoarding

toilet paper. Well, why are we doing that? Because we are, at our base nature self serving, and even when we are doing good for others, it serves us in some way. That's why we're doing it. We want to be seen a certain way. Very seldom do you see people who you know do good things who aren't proclaiming to you that they do good things. That's how you know they're doing good things. Well, that's because that proclamation is what they're really after. Yeah, okay, that's the truth.

If that's the case, then now we can make a proper assessment of our own condition. Number One, it causes me to know that I am not trustworthy, that I am no different. Number One, It's leveled the field for me. So I never went into an interview once I had this realization. I never went into an interview and thought I was somehow better than the guy I was interviewing. No, I knew that we're all the same person. But for the grace of God, my buttons haven't been pushed the

way that this poor guy's buttons have been pushed. Now, look, this is not to try to elevate people who do bad behavior. I'm a justice guy, so we're going to take care of this. But I recognize that I am just like him. We are all just like him. When you watch an episode of Dateline, I'm hoping you're not sitting there and going, yeah, what an idiot. I hope you watch it with a certain amount of introspection and you're thinking, Oh, that could easily have been me,

Because that is where humility begins. It begins when you realize the proper role. By the way, if you know the fallen nature of humans, if you know that's really true, well that also changes the way you establish systems. This is why our country was built in a way that had the kinds of checks and balances between the three arms of the federal government. Why is that there because the people who formed it new you can't trust people, you

can't trust humans. We are, by nature of fallen if we don't have a way to check and balance each other, if we don't have a community. Basically, this is why the Christian worldview has not lived in isolation, because this is why marriages. So this is another chapter of the book why marriage is so important. Because I've close enough to another human that I have given her permission to tell me what I'm wrong. I've given her permission to

help shape me toward what it is God wants from me. And if you're not in a relationship with somebody who you know well enough to have given them permission to tell you what an idiot you are right now, and you don't have true friends, and you don't have the kind of relationship that will urge you towards something better. So it turns out that those are other things that

sociologists have discovered. There was a chapter in here about true friendship. Well, why because I've worked so many cases where people were killed by somebody they thought was their true friend. M Well, so what is the nature of

quality relationships? We need to kind of dig into that because it turns out that there are some relationships that if you're listening, that you're holding right now, that are hurting you, that are detrimental to your well being, and that it might at some point, by the way, likely if I'm the first time I'm going to do, if I'm working your homicide, is I'm going to look back at all your relationships because the chances are somebody you knew

really well who kills you. And in the end, we have to ask the question what am I doing wrong that I'm hanging out with somebody who I have not in some way vetted better? You know. So I think a lot of this is important for us as Christians to say, oh yea, by the way, the Scripture has an antidote for that. This Christian's got great guidance for that. We just haven't been paying attention in this generation.

It seems. Yeah, you have a statement. Many crime stories are centered around poor relationships, you know, not having a relationship or having a relationship that's going to I guess goed you into that right some way. Yeah, I mean this is why. So if you're looking at what causes, and we've got enough time, I think you're to cover this. If you look at what is causing, what really describes relationships that will cause you to flourish.

It turns out that studies show this. One of the longest studies ever done on human happiness, looks like sixty year study that was done, and it really revealed that is your relationships there at the key the core of what causes you to feel content, to be happy, to have satisfied life. Satisfying life. But it's not just any kind of relationship. It turns out it's the kind of deep relationships that you cannot have with hundreds of people on

social media. So there's three things, three things that lead to the quality of flourishing in your relationships. Here. They are, First, you need deep committed relationships with people you've given permission to be like a brother to say, hey, you know what did your off the rails here? And that has to be with a small number of people. You can't have those kinds of deep committed relationships because they require a certain amount of vulnerability and a certain

amount of time. So if you're somebody who says, oh, I know lots of people, I got lots of friends, well they're probably not. Then these kinds of friends you need to have a small number of deeply committed relationships with. Third piece, virtuous people. Now here's the reason why. I've met lots of folks who are deeply connected to others who are not verstal

us, and they're they're they're basically they're part of their crime family. And so you can have deep connected relationships that lead you astray because there's no virtue. Now here's the tricky question is what do we call virtuous who gets to decide. So there's a code of ethics amongst gangsters, is that what is virtuous? What they say is because they would say, Hey, if you offend us, we're going to come over there and kill you. That's just

the code. You knew better before you did that. You should have known that was coming, because you know that's what you're going to get. And so who just gets to decide what is righteous, right or wrong virtuous? Who gets to decide that is it a group of people or is it a single individual, or is there something that transcends all of us that it overarches

all communities. So it turns out that virtue is something that does require a transcendent, unchanging, overarching virtue giver the authority that we would actually say virtue is grounded in because if we say it's grounded in groups, and get ready for all kinds of stupid and we're already seeing this because what's virtuous to even politically, what's virtuous to one side or the other is very different. Then

we're arguing as if there's no transcendent, overarching virtue. So this is one of those areas your relationships that does benefit from a worldview in which you can ground virtue objectively. There's a couple of places where that happens in this book, but this is one that's very important because we can say you tell your kids all the time, but don't be handles with there's a bad people who gets to decide they're bad. This is now suddenly caught is going to have

to cause us to think about how we ground good and bad? How do we ground a righteousness? And if you're going to ground it in just the opinion of people, well that's every case. I work at some point you have to be wiser than that. And that's why I think it's important for us to adopt the one worldview grounded a humility that provides you with an objective,

transcendent source for virtue. That is such great wisdom. I'm really looking forward reading this book, and of course it's just come out, but it is available now, right, Yes, it's available now, and I appreciate you can learn more at the truthantruecrime dot com The truthantruecrime dot com. And because I'm so sensitive to the idea that this should not be about us just building a platform and trying to sell something, what we do at that website

you'll see there's a ton of free stuff that comes with the purchase. We simply wanted to try to level that a little bit right so that you don't feel like this is about spending money on a book. I really want to advance the causes that are in the book, and that's that's the challenge, of course. Excellent, excellent book. Again, it is the Truth in True Crime. That's I in nott nd the Truth in Truecrime dot com. And just before you go, I know you got to go. This message

is from guard Goldsmith and Rock Finney says thank you both. Cold Case Christianity is excellent, and in the conversation today, I'm reminded that the trap that even catches people who try to spread freedom messages or biblical messages, it seems that one must beware of commoditizing oneself. Difficult to promote one more, even freedom or biblical work without that promotion becoming self promoting rather than praising God.

That's absolutely so good, so good. Yeah, great observation. He's written me before he loved Cold Case Christianity, which he got the first time I interviewed you. But I'm really looking forward to the Truth and True Crime and again there's a website, the Truth and Truecrime dot Com. Thank you much, Thank you so much for joining us, Sarah. Excellent stuff and such wisdom. It truly is amazing. Looking forward to reading it myself. Thank

you. Well, I'm indebted to you. Thanks so much for having me. Well, thank you, folks. We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back. Stay with us. Unlike most revolutions, whether people rise against the real economic oppression, in our case, here in Boston, we are fighting for purely an abstract principle. It is, however, not nearly so abstract as a young gentleman supposes. The issue involved here is one of monopoly. Today the British government will monopolize the sale of tea in

our country. Tomorrow it will be something else, liberty. It's your move. You're listening to the David Knight Show. I thought it was always great listening to Jay Warner Wallace. I really enjoy that. And on Rocksan, thank you very much, dougle Long. I appreciate the tip there as well. When I asked him about you know what was, I got him to investigate. He actually started investigating is because his wife became a Christian, and

I thought it was really funny. This last weekend, my wife was talking to somebody at church where we go, and her husband is a Christian and a cop who attends that church and a really great guy, and she said, yeah, she became a Christian. And she said he really didn't like that. He even told her. He says, yeah, I liked you better before you were a Christian. For the same reason that Jay Warner Wallace

started doing an investigation. He did it, and she said after a few months he came back to her and he had read through the Bible twice at that point, and he said, I've become a Christian. He's kind of surprised and stunned by that, but yeah, it is interesting. You know, God's word will accomplish the purpose for which he sent it. And like I was saying the other day, you know, we look at these people's

reactions to artificial intelligence. Yeah, there was a little bit of change there by people were self identifying as Christians and people who were, as they put it, quote scripture engaged. They defined that as reading the Bible two or three times a year, and they don't mean reading it through two or three

times from cover to cover. They mean just picking it up and glancing at it and reading it for a little bit two or three times a year, you know, outside of something that they might hear at Easter and Christmas or something like that. You have to invest the time for to really have a change. I have to actually read it and then it will make a big change in your life. And the time that we got left, I want to go back to some of the climate stuff because there are some major things

that are coming along. But remember, as we always look at this, there's two key things that carry over into all these other areas. One of them is to the great reset aspect, the depopulation aspect, taking away food, fuel and many other things like that to impoverish and enslave us. And then also key and all of that is taking away our ability to speak.

And out of the UK we get yet another one of these stories. On gb News, a Great Britain News, a British environmentalist was having a back and forth a debate with Andrew Doyle and the environmentalist was Jim Dale and he was saying basically what RFK Junior said, Jail the deniers, you disagree with my religion, climate change I'm going to throw you in jail. According to the environmentalist Jim Dale's, climate skeptics would still be allowed to talk to family

and friends. Nobody, he said, would kick in the door, but you would face criminal sanctions if they quote, pollute people unquote by voicing their opinion in public very much what they want to do with religion, that type of thing. And it always begins that way, but eventually it ends with them kicking the door in. They don't stop at that. As for an example of how climate denial could be suppressed with criminal sanctions, Jim Dale suggested

it would be like racism that's been driven from public discourse. Oh has it. Britain has very harsh anti hate speech laws, and we've seen those used against Christians, haven't we In the sense that, well, if you say that certain activity is armful for the individual, or that it's a sin, even if you point out that God has you're still alive. God has extended grace to you to give you an opportunity to change, and it's a free

grace that is there. But even if you say that that's not good enough, right, and so Andrew Doyle tried to get Jim Dale to admit there's a few issues with banning disagreement. He's had example about how people who questioned the narrative about COVID were vigorously suppressed. Now he talks about the COVID lab thing, but again even more so vaccines and death. Does it really matter

how this thing started? What was the result of all this? And if you can't talk about people who've been injured by their solution, people have been killed by their solutions, that is a far more important thing than what basically has become a side issue, a red herring, and that is why did this virus come? I don't see any evidence of it having any effect, and so it doesn't really matter to me, And I think that part of

it is a distraction. But the fact that council be deleted in that type of the reality of climate change is that the Earth is currently experiencing a very cold period by geological standards, and it is true, you know, when we look at this and we look at what is happening in the Antarctic, there's evidence now that just a few thousand years ago there are a lot of

mammal bones that they found. They tried to say, well, maybe that was human there's no evidence of any human activity whatsoever, but animals that could not survive in that weather. We're roaming freely in the Antarctic at that time. It's going to gradually the truth is coming out, and those who are seeking the truth are not trying to shut down and to censor those who are truly investigating it. But we need to understand they're going to just jump to

these end game solutions. And when we look at the push from California, and we look at the push from Water Washington, a push from Gavin Nuisance, and the push from Joe Biden. One of the things that they're pushing right now is electric semi trucks. And so you've got a lot of states that are pushing back on this to try to slow that down or to halt it all together, because we know what's going to happen. This is not

ready and it's going to cripple the infrastructure, cripple the economy. So we have several state attorneys general who are now pushing back against these arbitrary rules that have been pushed out by Biden's EPA. Again, it's the EPA that is always trying to They want to kill the power plants. They want to kill diesel trucks, they want to kill cars, they want to kill ranges and heaters, gas ranges, gas heaters, any of that kind of stuff,

fireplaces, you name it, and everything has to be electric. As they're pulling down the power plant at the same time, maybe what we should do is, maybe we should keep the power plants and the trucks and the cars, and the ranges and the heaters and the fireplaces. Maybe we could kill the EPA instead, right, because it's unconstitutional. It's another one of these Nixon things that we're put in. I think we need to get rid of it. As they point out, the EPA does not have This is a

letter from the Attorney's General. EPA does not have, neither does California the constitutional power to dictate these nationwide rules to Americans. Of course, California is using this alliance of several states and said, well, whatever California does, we're going to follow that. I said, I'm proud to lead the efforts to stop these unconstitutional attempts to remake our economy. I'm grateful to our sister

states for joining our coalition. And so this is a Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers, a Republican, he said, California and an unaccountable EPA trying to transform our national trucking industry and our supply chain infrastructure. This effort, coming out a time of heightened inflame with already strained electric grid, will devastate the trucking and logistics industry. It'll raise prices for customers, It'll impact untold numbers

of jobs across Nebraska and the country. Yeah, if you're going to dictate something to somebody, you might want to see if it works. But we've had enough of these unworkable, unaffordable, unconstitutional rules. These people who decide that they are going to rule us by executive order, rule us by bureaucratic fiat and dictates. Have you had enough of the regulation with that representation thing?

I think I have. And if we don't fight back against this, and we don't push back against this, and at least we're now getting a few state attorneys general that are doing that. If we don't push back against that, they truly will turn us into poor slaves. That's the intention. Thank you for joining us. Have a good day.
