22Dec23 Christmas Special Unabridged

Using free speech to free minds. You're listening to the David Night Show. As the clock strikes thirteen, it's Friday, the twenty second of December, Year of Our Lord, twenty twenty three, and we say Year of our Lord, and this is the time we celebrate the birth of our Lord.

And so that's what we're going to do today. We're going to talk We're going to have some news at the beginning here, but we're going to talk a lot about Christmas and culture in the context of politics and government and tradition. What does culture mean? Really? We need to think about that. You know, what does it mean when you have a bacteria culture or you cultivate a plant. It's something that you grow. You do it consciously.

So we're going to talk about that, and we're going to consciously talk about that. We'll be right back. Stay with us. Well, as I mentioned yesterday, Christmas time and we listen to some of the classic song it's not the ones about rootolph and rocking around a Christmas tree or this or that, you know, and the nostalgia is fine, you know, that's in and of itself, it's fine as long as as long as that's not your entire life. I mean, we stop and think about it. What if

your entire life was just looking backwards at things that you had done. You don't have to anticipate in anything in the future or what is happening now. You just mope about what has gone and passed. And at this time of year, because there's so much nostalgia and Christmas songs, we can fall into that trap. It can be very depressing for a lot of people because you

just focus on what they've lost. And it is important to go back and look at what was there before and see if we can't try to sustain or even revive some of the things that have been lost. But we don't want to overdwell on the past. Life is about the living. Life is about now. And so I mentioned this yesterday. You know, we look at the Christmas carols and we look at the fact that they're pushing this to us, that scientists create that an AI that they claim can predict when you will

die with seventy eight percent accuracy. I said this yesterday. I said, well, God knows that with accuracy, but artificial intelligence doesn't. These scientists don't, your doctor doesn't. How many you probably have a story I've got a couple of them about somebody who gets the clean bill of help from the doctor and goes out and drops dead. Or maybe they got a shot from the doctor, you know, the sugar water that Trump created for us,

as Alex Poyne. Maybe they got the sugar water shot and then they just suddenly die. Or it might be that they just misdiagnosed it didn't catch a heart condition that was there. Or maybe it's not even that. Maybe you know you're perfectly healthy, maybe even jogging down or cycling down the side of the road and you get hit by car and die. We've all known those types of stories as well. Nobody knows when you're going to die, and

these scientists don't know either. What is concerning about this is that they think they know, and that is a very dangerous thing because as people more and more begin to worship artificial intelligence as being omniscient and being able to predict the future, and as it becomes omnipresent everywhere and everything that we do, that's going to be a real danger and we need to disavow that from the very

beginning so we don't fall into that trap. Only God knows this will This type of AI, for example, be used to deny you medical care. But let's also remember this time of year we celebrate crisis. I said in the Christmas Care Born so that man no more may die. Yeah, you're going to die, but it's not final. It's a difficult transition. Some people have said coming into this world and going out of this world is difficult. But we know that we're going to a better world if we're Christians,

and Christ has made that possible. That's why we celebrate this time of year. And as I said before, I'm not dogmatic at all about the religious aspects of Christmas. It's an opportunity to talk about the incarnation of Christ, and it's an opportunity to exercise our religion in the public space, because if you don't exercise your freedoms, just like your body will atrophy and die.

And so it is important for us to exercise our freedoms. And so far all those reasons, and an opportunity to talk to your children about what is really, what is true, what isn't true. We've got a lot of traditions that have been added to it. I mean, even on the religious side, not just things like Anta Cloonu's and Rooto Off. There's a lot of things that have been added, even in the religious aspects of this,

to talk to them about that. But when we look at this, this new artificial god that is being created before our eyes, this is coming from a UK paper. Can a doom calculator really predict when you'll die? Shockingly? These whiz kid scientists whiz kids? You know, last time I heard that phrase that was used to describe Robert McNamara, who was one of the whiz kids who was he's a really smart kid. I don't know what it

was that he did as a prodigy. Maybe he was on a game show or something, because that's I think where the that came from, but he was the guy, the really smart guy that got us mired down into Vietnam. Anyway, they can do it with seventy eight percent accuracy, Well, you know, God can do it with one hundred percent accuracy. We all know the Psalm one, don't we. It's not just artificial intelligence. Does

artificial intelligence know everything about you yet? No? But even if it does know everything about you, it still doesn't know everything about you, and it doesn't know your future. David wrote, Lord You've searched me and known me. You know my sitting down? Am I rising up? You understand my thoughts from afar off, You comprehend my path, am I lying down?

And you are acquainted with my ways. This, by the way, is the goal of geospatial intelligence, anticipatory intelligence that has been the fastest growing part of the intelligence community since the late nineteen nineties. They want to have this godlike knowledge of everyone. But they did not create us. David goes on to say to God, you formed my inward parts. You covered me in my mother's womb. I'll praise you for I'm fearfully and wonderfully made. Yes,

we are made. How can you look at some as complex as a human being or a dog or any other animal and say that this is an accident of random chance processes? A foolish rebellion, that is the common sense. You don't say that about any car, any building that you look at. Marvelous are your works. My soul knows that very well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in secret and skillfully wrought in

the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance yet unformed, and in your book they were all written the day's fashion for me, when there is yet none of them. And so when we look at the stories that we had this last week, I gave you a couple of stories about people who had children that had trisomy eighteen. They had diagnosed this, accurately diagnosed it in a couple of these cases, and the children did not survive

very long. But there's another part of that story. Part of the reason why children are not surviving very long would try some me eighteen is because of diagnosis more than anything else. The doctors look at him and say, oh, try some me eighteen. There's no point even doing anything about this. And yet they have found that if they actually give the kids some treatment,

that their chances of survival go way way up, way way up. But typically they'll look at it and say, the kid's going to die anyway, We're not going to give them any health care. Does that sound familiar? Is that something that we've seen done to adults. Is that something we've seen done at the end of life? Is that something that we saw throughout COVID nineteen I just but it do not resuscitate tag on them. As a matter

of fact. You know, the story of amazing Grace Scott who came on and talked about it, and you know he's bringing them to trial because they said, well, she's got COVID, what's the point and she's got down syndrome anyway, we'll just put it, do not resustate on there, give her no health care. You see, this is a much bigger issue than

just abortion. This is why we talk about pro life. If you're not pro life for a baby that's sick, that has a health condition, If you can take a baby that you tried to kill and did not do that successfully and just lay it over on the table and let it die and call that comfort care, they will do that to all of us at any stage of our life. And they'll do it with a clear conscience because artificial intelligence

tells them, I'm sorry, this person doesn't have a chance. They've got this, or they've got that, or they don't have this, or they don't have that. And so this is a story from Live action dot org. Very important story. Try some me eighteen is not an automatic death sentence. These children are proof, but it can be an automatic death sentence if the medical establishment treats it that way. I said, you know, we

look at Kate Cox, the story in Texas. He goes to court to get an abortion, and it was really about trying to overthrow that law. But it's much bigger than that. You got and Colter and you've got Nuki Hayley and all of them jumping in on this and see, this is what's wrong with your attempt to try to protect life. You're going to be cruel to parents, and you're going to be This is just dangerous and awful for women, and you should get rid of these pro life laws, say people

on the GOP side. And so this idea that there's virtually no chances of survival has been parroted by a lot of people who believe that this mother in Texas should have been allowed to kill her child because this is not compatible with life. Many people have been told that trys ME eighteen is a fatal condition. Many people were told that COVID nineteen was a fatal condition, and they justified that by putting people in comas, putting them on invasive ventilators and killing

them. And of course I made money doing that, just like the abortionists make money. And that was a Trump policy, rewarding the hospitals massively rewarding them. You just point to somebody and say they've got COVID nineteen thousand dollars. You get them on a ventilator thirty two thousand dollars. You've already got a three thousand dollars profit on your fifty three thousand dollars machine. And if you can keep them breathing for a few days, oh, you can just

add you know, it's a gravy train. And then not only that, we'll give you a twenty percent bonus for everything that you do. And they already inflate the prices of everything to an absurd extreme. And then wait one year, and after these people have gotten addicted to these obscene, obscene profits, then Biden comes around and says, I'm going to take all those Trump bonuses away from you. If you don't vaccinate yourself, Yeah, go kill

yourself now. And so we've seen this with COVID nineteen. Now we're seeing it. Would try some me eighteen, Oh, I'm sorry, you got a fatal condition, no point in even trying. Do not resuscitate. But a twenty seventeen study from Stanford and the University of Arkansas revealed that children would try some eighteen diagnoses are more likely to survive if they undergo pediatric art surgery.

In addition, a study two years later in twenty nineteen showed that ninety percent of children would try some ME eighteen survived after their hearts were repaired. But they use this to try to get all kids killed. Try some ME eighteen or COVID nineteen. Same thing, isn't it? And principle, And I thought this is very interesting. You a Rick Sentorum. I had a lot of issues with his policies, but he was a family man, and he was very staunchly anti abortion. And here's one of the reasons he and

his wife, former Senator Rick sendtorm out of Pennsylvania. Of course, he's run for president unsuccessfully in the past as well. But he and his wife have a daughter who turned fifteen years old this year, who has trisomy eighteen. They refused to abort her even though she had been diagnosed with US and they told her it was quote incompatible with life. And so when in culture and I read you some of what Ann Culter said the other day, I

read you what Nicki Haley said. And Ann Coulter, who shame on her, She's to promote life. She's just a political hack now talking about how being pro life is an albatross around our neck. She knows better. She knows Trump is an albatross. But anyway, she went after pro life policies and so when she did that, Rick Antorum responded with a tweet to Anne Coulter and he said, quote, try Somemy eighteen is not a condition that

is incompatible with life. Meet my incompatible with life daughter, Bella. Her doctors put her on hospice at ten days old. Other countries have much higher survival rates than the US because they treat the baby and not the diagnosis. Every kid deserves a shot at life, not to be brutally dismembered for not being perfect. Well, said as Rick Santorum. He said, other countries have much higher survival rates because we treat the diagnosis, but they treat the

baby. And then they have In this article from live action, they've got several different parents. There's a child, Wiley Durson. The parents learned about this, of course, as they all do when they're pregnant. They said, they showed her to me when she was born. She was awfully floppy and blue. Shouldn't look like a baby who was alive. But they let my husband hold her, and I'll never forget the moment just given birth and he says, she's breathing, She's breathing, and she just kept breathing and

living. And so she is now several years old. Verity Jacobson. When the parents learned their preborn child that they named Verity, had try someth me eighteen, they were terrified. They were given little to no information about what the future would look like. The information that we were gleaning was that if she were to be born alive, the average lifespan would be five to fifteen days. And so we're having conversations about where we're going to bury our baby

and what the memorial service is going to be like. And I just grieved so much, she said. And of course the stories that I had the other day that the babies did not survive. But the mothers, even though they were saddened by that, it was reassuring to them that they had not added to the babies suffering by having them ripped apart limb by limb in an abortion, and the fact that they had been able to hold their child for a few moments of life that they had, but to her surprise, Verity

did not die right after birth. To the mother's surprise, that a she is thriving in her own special way. Life now is amazing and it's not perfect, she said. It's not easy, but it is so much better than we could have imagined, said the mother. And the way that she has enriched our lives, it's just amazing as well. Same story. I'm always heard and seen from parents who have children with Down syndrome or any other thing. Right. We would all like for our children to be perfect and

have no health issues whatsoever, But isn't great to have them anyway? Harper Grace In a Special Books by Special Kids video interview, her mother said her only goal was to be able took Harper in the eye and tell her I Love you after birth. To her surprise, she was able to do that and much more, as Harper did not die as the doctor's predicted. Now, she fights for better treatment of those with trisomy eighteen diagnosis. Faith Smith's

parents learned of it. The doctors encourage them to abort. When they refused to abort, the doctor started going down the planned parenthood script. The doctors tried to scare them into ending their daughter's life, warning that if she was born, it would ruin their marriage, it would devastate them financially, it would make life difficult for their other children, all things they tell you planned

parenthood. The couple refused to listen, instead fought for their daughter's life, and a Facebook post celebrating her twelfth birthday in twenty twenty, the father shared a happy message. They said, it's a wonderful life and this is a special day. Faith is twelve years old today. Our fatal fetal anomaly, who is incompatible with life, just won't listen to her critics. We weren't lucky. We had help from a mighty God and from some great doctors and

nurses who treated her over the years. A life is valuable. This is one of the things that you see through these people who were talking about it. They have faith in God, and they see prayers in and God does not answer every prayer to heal every illness or every person. He has greater purposes in our life. Sometimes that includes suffering and loss. But look at what our culture is doing. That's other top of a show. I said, we need to think about culture. What are we cultivating here right again.

You know the same word for cultivation of plants or bacteria. Culture. That's what we're doing. We're actively promoting something to grow. And so what is it that we're trying to grow in America or what is it that other people are trying to grow as we set passively by, Because you can't win a culture war without culture, and culture comes down to each and every one of us. It comes down to traditions that you set up with your friends and family, It comes to the things that you do. And instead,

what we have become is a nation of voyeurs. We just set back and we let other people do the culture thing for us, and we just watch it and watching what they want and what they produce out of life. That becomes our culture, our passive voyeur culture. And so you've got a college that knows this, and they are launching a movie contest not to celebrate life, but to celebrate abortion. Maybe they could call the movie It's a Wonderful

Murder. Barnard College wants to celebrate and support abortion stories. They have their annual Athena film festival, named after a goddess. Right. They recently closed submissions for mentorship program winners of a script competition will be announced at the Film Festival scheduled for February the twenty ninth. And so, I guess maybe if you could come up with a script, I don't know, away with the Manger, How about that Away with the Manger. Maybe we could even write

a song about that. Get some money from these people who have a culture that they want to grow. And it's like a gain of function bacteria culture that is getting more and more deadly in our society all the time. Winners of this project or receive mentorship on how to better promote the direct killing of innocent preborn babies. And they call the project. Listen to this, it's

the APP. What does that stand for? Well, not APP, It's the Abortion Pipeline Project and an annual narrative screenplay competition to feature short film scripts which seek to seed and source a variety of narrative film projects which center abortion. That's the way they describe it themselves. They want to center abortion a cult of death, a culture of death. What are we going to do to grow the opposite? This is a so abortionists want parents out of their

daughter's life and death decisions. And this is going to Massachusetts used to be the epicenter of evil anymore, Elizabeth Warren and people associated with Elizabeth Warren, Massachusetts doesn't have very many protections for babies. The uh and I'm sure in these if you look at these screenplays, they'll probably portray the parents is hopelessly out of touch. That's become a meme for Hollywood, hasn't it. Yeah, since the middle of the twentieth century, maybe earlier than that. Parents

are just always hopeless out of touch. You don't you don't need to listen to them. Well, they've got very few pro life protections. As a matter of fact, you can kill children up through twenty four weeks. France is only twelve weeks. France is only twelve weeks, and they recently extended that because he used to be like ten weeks or something like that. But Massachusetts four weeks twice as long as France. Planned Parenthood's Massachusetts CEO says that

her number one priority is making abortion more accessible. Oh, I imagine it is. I mean, that's how she makes money. That's where they make their money. They're not about women's health, they're about killing babies. The rental consent requirement, she said, was reduced from the age of eighteen to sixteen, but she said even sixteen is still too high. There's no evidence that it is medically necessary. No, it's not medically necessary to kill a

baby to have printal consent. It's not necessarily necessary to have prontal consent if you want to mutilate a child's sexually groom them and mutilate them, and chemicals and surgery not medically necessary. Just delays this anywhere from five to twenty one days. So she says she's going to be focusing on quote, reducing all of the unnecessary burdens and barriers that stand the way of killing babies. Things like eliminating printal involvement are at the top of her list as she talks to

the press. The desire to remove rental notification laws place as young girls in greater danger of being trafficked, of being forced into abortion that they don't want. And we've talked about this for many, many years. How Planned Parenthood when they get a young child in who's a miner who's pregnant, this is obviously statutory rate, but Planned Parenthood does not report this to the police. They don't want anything come of this. Because you know, if they started

doing that, they would discourage girls from coming there and killing babies. And that's how they make their money. Abortion is Planned Parenthood's biggest money maker. According to their twenty twenty annual report, they killed six and a half million babies since two thousand and got nine point three billion dollars in taxpayer dollars.

And then, of course in twenty twenty, as they were handing out the Universal Basic caame come training checks they call stimulus checks or PPP or whatever, the Congress said, well, you know, we're not going to give that to Planned Parenthood, but the Democrats did anyway. It was in the law that it wasn't supposed to go to them, but they got it anyway. Minor cannot undergo surgery or even receive medicine from a school nurse without a parent's

approval. However, now we're letting them do the abortions in Massachusetts if they get what they want. And of course, the other emerging profit center for Planned Parenthood is the chemicals to the puberty, chemicals for the trans grooming that is happening, so you can groom the kids in school for transgender mutilation and Planned parenthood can sell that as well. It's all the puberty blockers and make money off of that as well. They've got all of this covered. It's

a business that makes money on death. And so the as I said, Massachusetts is where they're trying to get rid of Parntal consent completely. And also coming out of Massachusetts, also aligned with Liz Warren is a guy who is in charge of the Department of Education, and he is the Department of Education is going after a Christian university with massive fines and it is really trivial and

a false charge, but they want to shut this down. The headline from WND the Fed say that Christian and affordable colleges are ten times worse than hiding sex offenders if you look at the fines that they're assessing here. They've made the accusation against this college that its motto is private, Christian and affordable, and so they came up with a find that is ten times worse than they

have given to other schools for concealing sex offenders. The officials who are defending them at the Goldwater Institute, so they're demanding information about the Biden's Department of Education agenda against Grand Canyon University of Phoenix. They say a lawsuit will follow if the immediate results aren't status factory thirty seven point seven million dollar fine against the organization. And so right now the people the Goldwater Institute are written a

commentary about it. They have not filed a complaint yet, not filed a lawsuit yet. They basically laid out the lines of the lawsuit. But we just saw the Biden administration as they leave the border wide open and are bringing in millions of people every year anybody can walk in. You saw them go to a great deal of trouble to site try to deport German homeschool family that was Christian. We don't want those kind of people here. To me,

that says everything. They open border, but then double down that isn't a situation. The open border is not a situation. Well, we just can't figure out what to do. We're just hopelessly incompetent. It's a bigger problem

than we can manage. No, when you look at what they try to do with the German homeschool and Christian family and support them after they've been here for quite some time, they're supporting themselves and they are genuine political refugees religiously persecuted because Germany persecutes anybody that has Christian convictions to homeschool their own kids. And so when you look at that, that tells you what this policy is

about. It really is deliberate, It really is a great replacement, and it's latest assault on institutions that fail to adhere to its ideological meant The Biden administration just imposed the largest line in history from the US Department of Education on Grand Canyon University. His motto is private, Christian and affordable, ten times bigger than they levied against some of the worst sex offenders in in history.

By any metric. The school is a success story, says the op ed piece, having grown from a tiny school with fewer than a thousand students to one of the largest private schools in the country offering degrees in every conceivable discipline.

All that happened without raising tuition on students in over fifteen years. And so now they're demanding that the Department of Education turnover public records they would indicate that there's collusion, collusion within the Biden administration, collusion with Elizabeth Warren. So they said, as this guy took power, his name is Richard Cordray,

who has been tightly associated with Elizabeth Warren in the past. As he took over, they said he and his cronies made a mission to made it their mission to destroy institutions that do not subscribe to the prevailing orthodoxy at government run schools. You see this time of year, and Naomi Wolf had an excellent op ed piece and I want you to I want to read parts of it too. She's Jewish, she's liberal. I think she's a lesbian. I think I mean she's but she's looking at this and saying, what is

it about this obsession about destroying all the free exercise of religion? She woke up with the Trump lockdowns. People call them the COVID lockdowns. COVID didn't lockdown anybody Trump did. Yeah, what amazing narrative the right has created, the mainstream alternative media has created. But anyway, when you look at this,

they do have an orthodoxy. They may not want you to have any mangers in your school, but they want you to have all of their religion, LGBT, Marxism, racism, all of this stuff that's got to be there. And if you don't have that there, and you openly advertise at you're a Christian school in private, they start looking for a way to destroy you. We were not being paranoid. This is just we see this over and over again. Bid administrations claim that the school didn't provide information about the

need for graduate students to continue to take education courses. The Department has not cited any student complaints. Instead, they made a number of conclusatory statements that do not appear to be supported by actual facts. Said the Goldwater Institute and their opt ed piece. They said the school allegedly quote violated federal disclosure laws by insufficiently disclosing to PhD students that they may have to take continuing courses while

completing their doctoral dissertations. In other words, the allegation is that the most highly educated students at GCU can't read the brochure. So this is clearly stated. And again there have been no complaints from the students. That's the key thing. So what is the standing from the Department of Education if there's been no complaints, Well, you know they're coming after Trump in New York, even though the banks didn't complain about it. And where's there standing in this?

Well, we know where they're standing this is just political persecution of their enemies. And you know, I don't support Trump, but that's what this Manhattan thing is. The commentary from the people. Again, I said, it's not as commentary right now, it's not a complaint, it's not a lawsuit that's been filed. Noted that the department's conclusory statements would in any other context be considered to be defamation. They said, even if they can't prove

the allegations against their allegations, not even student allegations. This the Biden Department of Education has allegations and no student complaints. Even if they can't prove this, they intend for the process to be punishment, they said in their commentary. This is a school that has found innovative solutions for everything from the nationwide nursing shortage to graduating students, and to high demand and high paying trade jobs.

They have a thriving campus life of students dedicated to serving the surrounding neighborhood,

which is economically distressed but substantially improving because of this university's presence. If students graduate with less debt than an average student nationwide, and by way of comparison, public universities nationwide have raised tuition on resident students by an average of more than one hundred and fifty percent over the past two decades, despite benefiting from taxpayer funded subsidies that GCU does not receive, So they don't get tax

payer money like these other places, and they don't get big donors like Harvard, who's now starting to lose their big donors. We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right and I just want to say, as we begin to play this, thank you so much to APS Radio for carrying this and for being a supporter of this program. And we'll talk about where we

are when we come back. I really want to thank all of you, and I've got a list here of people's names, and I have not yet read out from Zel, but I do want to take the time to do that because you've been such a blessing to us and we are so grateful. And yesterday, with the tips that we got on Rumble and with Tony matching it, that brought us up to just over seventy percent, so we've moved

up the gas gates to seventy five percent. So thank you for catching us up, and thank you for the generous contributions and for Tony who has done so much to support this program again, even setting up David Knight dot gold for us and helping us through that and helping you to find a place where you can get gold and silver and you can lock in the price unlike Costco or anybody else, and you can make sure that you get the product actually

delivered. Again, David Knight die Gold will take you to Tony Ardeman Wisewolf dot Gold. Tony and Guard will be doing the show next week. We're going to have a rebroadcast on Monday, and they will be splitting duties. They're working with each other as to how they're going to split this out next week and so to give me a little bit of time off, so I'm grateful for that as well. We'll be right back here news now at apsradionews

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good Christmas night, all right, And as I said, I want to thank the people that I've gotten behind in reading the people on Zell and on zel I don't have any way to respond to people. It just like I don't really have a way to respond to people who send us support by mail. And I got a lot of Christmas cards. Thank you so much for the Christmas cards. I don't have the time to

show all of them. We've got so many of them, but thank you for that consideration. And they will go from my desk to display in the house. So thank you very much. But let me just run down this quickly because it is important of the people who keep this show going, and I see the same names over and over again, as I'm really am grateful.

Gretchen C, Kyle H, William W, Scott L, Derek C, Mary Ellen M, Maurice, G. Gregory N, Jared You, j H, Amy B, Michael L, William W, Jeffrey C, Aaron G. Mitchell E, Justin L. Manny D, Matthew M, Adam D, William T, Maurice W. It's hard for me not to say the last name here, catch the last mister reading fast Madison F. William R. Peter E. Gretchen again, Thank you, Gretchen and Jay again, j H, Linda M, Noel R, Sean S, Matthew S, Kimberly M, Mona N. Kimberly M again and Manny D,

Felicia H. Gregory I, Jeffrey C again and Ronald H. Gretchen Cee again, Daniel M. Thank you very much all of you, and thank you for bearing with us as we read that out. But those are the people that keep this broadcast going. Thank you so much of all of you for your support. Let's talk a little bit about crime and punishment. There is an amazing story that has just came out yesterday and I haven't seen people pick this up much in the media yet, but as a lead up to

it, there are some other punishments that are rolling around. I've talked for the longest time about civil asset forfiture. If you know this program, you know about civil asset forfiture. When Megan Kelly came ton for Worst Interview People, I brought that up. She had never heard of it. She's a lawyer and a journalist and she had never heard of it and still doesn't care. After she heard about it. She still doesn't care because it's about her

right. But this is a sentencing commission that is again proposed restricting judge's use of acquitted conduct. You see, this is not only do we have people with civil asset forfeitrue. They say, well, it's not a law. It's a rule passed by the bureaucracy. So you don't get any the protections under the constitution. You don't get the presumption of innocence, you don't get due process, you don't get protection against successifies it because this is a rule,

it's not a law. Isn't that odd? Right? You take the very fact that we are regulated without representation isn't abomination, and yet they use that very abomination of regulation with our representation then to deny us all the due process outlined in the Constitution. It's an outrage. It's an outrage. I don't understand why people are not outraged about civilized at for for sure. But here's another aspect of this, and they're looking at possibly reforming this, but

yeah, maybe not, I don't know. This is picked up by reason. A government panel could soon limit a little known but outrageous practice that allows federal judges to enhance defendants's sentence based on conduct that they have been acquitted of. What you've been acquitted of it, but the judge can still enhance your

sentence as if you have been convicted of that. Yes, that's been going on, and so they look at this as well, maybe we should stop this by the way, you know, maybe should call this the ross Albrick clause because it was even worse with ross all break. You know, just as we talked about the fact they can steal your property, your cash, car, your home, your business, anything like that, they can steal

it without even without a conviction, without even indicting you for anything. Well, Ross Albrick who was running Silk Road, and of course you also had FBI agents who were dipping into that and stole a million dollars out of it, and they were on trial for that at the same time that ross Albrick

was. But they would not allow ross Albrick's defense to even mention that, because if he was allowed to mention that, then people might not believe the government's narrative that ross Albrick was solely responsible for anything that happened on this website. And of course there was some illegal activity that was happening on this website, just like there's illegal activity that happens everywhere on the Internet. They had a big problem because he was an early adopter and promoter of bitcoin. He

put his website on what they liked to call the dark Web. Why they call it the dark web? Is it any darker than the rest of the web. No, it's not. It's simply that they can't see it. And Gotree and I have talked about that many times. But for ross Olbrich, as these FBI agents have the keys to it, as they're stealing a million dollars out of the website and then subsequently getting convicted themselves, but don't tell the jury that. But what they did after they convicted him of,

you know, having the website. There were allegations, but never an indictment, that there had been something put on the website, murder for hire, and again he was these are allegations that were made in the press. You had a district attorney who made these allegations in the press, but he never

did an indictment. I wonder why. And yet when they convicted Ross and I forget what it was that they convicted him of, the key thing about the enhancement with for this, they gave him, this young man, they gave three consecutive life sentences to which means that he can ever get parole. And I've interviewed his mother multiple times when I was at Info Wars, and I've lost contact with her, but I have to try to get contact.

We talked about it at the time, and I had her on at the time because there was a hope at the time that perhaps some of the people and the Trump administration would get Trump to pardon him. And that was really when I was talking to his mother at the time. Now there's not any hope of that because Biden is such an authoritarian and because they're so adamantly opposed

to crypto and that type of thing. But that was one of the things that really disturbed me at the end of the Trump first administrator, the fact that he didn't pardon the January the six people, the fact that he didn't pardon Ross Elbrick, the fact they didn't pardon Marty Gosfeld who subsequently got out serving his time, and many many others, you know, they're there,

Francis Schaeffer, Cox and others that he should have pardoned. Instead, Trump pardoned these some of the biggest white collar criminals and frauds and friends of Jared Kushner. And we know why. Money that corruption. It just made me

want It just made me sick. On top of everything else that he had been doing for the last year, on top of the lockdowns, on top of the masks, on top of the warp speed, on top of the vote by mail election, then pushing people into January sixth, and then he doesn't pardon people who have been abused by the system, like Ross Elbrick three consecutive life sentences. You know, the Bible tells us, gives us the character of God and describes him as defendive widows, father to fatherless who sets

the prisoners free, especial prisoners who were held unjustly. I don't see any of that character in this character who's running for office. Just amazing anyway. So what they're doing so with Ross albric they use the allegations in the press, even though he was never indicted and certainly wasn't convicted. That's why I brought up civil asset forfeiture. They use that to give him to enhance the sentence to three consecutive life sentences, but they're doing it to a lesser degree

for a lot more people as well. At the sentencing phase of a trial, federal judges can enhance the defendant's sentences for conduct that they were acquitted of. Again, Ross was not even indicted or tried for this, But even if somebody has gone to trial and been acquitted, the judge can pretend as if they were convicted of that and use that to enhance their sentence. If the judge decides that it's more likely than not that the defendant committed those offenses,

so he doesn't really care what the jury said. The judge thinks, so they say he's innocent. I think he's guilty, So I'm going to charge him and punish him as if he was guilty. So is that trial by jury or is that trial by opinion? What is what is happening with that? That is simply opinion and prejudice of the judges, not a trial.

And we've seen judges essentially shut down juries in every aspect. Uh, you're here to judge the facts of the case, they say, not whether or not you like this law, not whether or not you agree with the punishment that is attached to this Because that's what jury nullification is about. Again, going back to the case of William penn when he was still in England,

they outlawed the Quaker church. The people decided they're going to meet anyway, So then they padlocked the church building doors and they met on the steps of the church building. And so then they arrested William Pennon. When they took him to trial, the foreman and the assistant foreman foreman's name was Edward Bushnell through it out and it was clear what the law was, and it was clear what the penalty was, and they said, no, we're going

to say he's innocent. Because we don't agree with the law. That's called jury nullification. And so then the judge threw Edward Bushnell and the other guy whose name I don't recall into jail. Oh yeah, well, you don't want to put him in jail for our making it a crime to belong to particular church like our ally, as Zelenski's doing in Ukraine. Well, then we will throw you into jail. You can take his place then, And so then their lawyer said, show me the law that they violated, habeas

corpus. The judg's, well, show me the law that they violated when they nullified these laws as a jury. It's not against the law for a jury to nullify this, And so other judge let them go. Established habeas corpus. But it also established dury nullification clearly, and we follow that tradition in the United States and it is explicitly protected in many state constitutions. But judges will tell people you're not here to judge the law or the penalty,

you're here to judge the facts of the case. That's a lie. But even when they judge the facts of the case and they say no, I don't think they proved their case the judge says, well, I think they did. He overrides that as well. Isn't it amazing what an authoritarian dictatorship America has become at every level of government, whether you're talking about a lot of these courts and judges or these other government officials. And we saw that

in twenty twenty in spades. Here's another example of over punishment. This is a ten year old kid and he was ated because somebody complained about well, don't just tell other facts of the case here. This is Mississippi. A ten year old has been sentenced to three months probation for urinating behind his mother's car. But the boy's mother is refusing to sign the probation agreement. It's

a regular probation. I thought it was something that would be for a juvenile, but it's the same terms an adult criminal would have said the family's attorney, we cannot in good conscience accept a probation agreement that treats a ten year old child as a criminal. So what it was his crime? Well, in August, this third grader, whose name is Quantavius Easton, Quantavious, they have aspirations of Roman Empire for him. I guess Quantavius was seen urinating

behind his mother's car while she went inside an attorney's office. Police saw Quantavius, arrested him, arrested the ten year old, and took him to a local police station. According to the boy's mother, Latanya Eson, her son was even placed inside a jail cell despite posing no threat to the officers.

Quantavius was charged with quote child in need of supervision. It charged him with that, not the mother, and a youth court judge sentenced him last week to three months of probation, as well as a two page report on the late basketball player Kobe Bryant. Kobe Bryant know how to use the restroom or something? Kobe Bryant? Did you know that about him? He's evidently not only a master at playing basketball, but he really knows how to use the

restroom. The connection with that just pure arbitrary nonsense. But this is the case that I wanted to give you the background for. This is a situation where you now have an eighteen year old being sentenced to life in a hospital prison for something they did when he was sixteen, and you won't believe what

he did. It's kind of like, you know, urinating behind his mother's car in a sense, and I'm going to make light of this, even though they said all this cost the company five million dollars in thousands of hours and employee shifts. The company is Rockstar Games, the makers of this reprehensible but famous and successful game called Grand Theft Auto. Version six is about to come out in twenty twenty five. The previous version five came out in twenty

thirteen. They've been working on this for quite some time. So what did this eighteen year old do to these people who promote every kind of reprehensible violent, sexual assault, mass murder, shooting, cop killing, flying planes in the buildings, all the rest of stuff that's in the Grand Theft Auto. What was it that was the crime of this person who's going to actually get life in prison. Was it anything like they model and they have kids playing

all the time. No, nothing at all like that. What this guy did was he hacked into the company and did he destroy their code? No. What he did was he released ninety clips of the upcoming video game for people to watch on YouTube. What he put out early trailer material, and they got millions, hundreds of millions of views in a couple of days.

Lawyers argued, well, he actually promoted your game. People have been desperate for information about this for ten years, and so he showed people some clips of the game, and that got these people who are very powerful and connected to the government angry. And if you get somebody who's very powerful and connected to the government angry with you and the government is corrupt like our government is, they can send you to jail for life. He is in the UK.

I believe this story covered by the BBC. You'll only be released if medical professionals judge him to be no longer dangerous. Well, what is the medical angle of this. Well, this kid is a genius, but he's got autism, and so he is an amazing hacker. He has been affiliated with a black hat group that has broken into a lot of different things in the past. And as a matter of fact, you know, he'd broken into Nvidia, a company that makes very fast GPUs that are used for crypto

mining and other things like that. So he'd broken into some of these places with these other people. They had him in custody and they had taken away his computer. But listen to this, Despite having his computer taken away, he broke into Rockstar Games, the developer of Grand Theft Auto six. What

did he use after they took his computer away? He used an Amazon firestick, a Hotel TV, and a mobile phone, and he was able to break into their system and grab trailer shots of what's gonna what the game is going to look like. Isn't that amazing? Perhaps he going to keep him in prison because they want to put him on some kind of a mission impossible team. Uh it takes the Leissan firestick, his phone, and the hotel TV and does this. Mental health review showed that he quote continued to express

intent to return to cybercrime as soon as possible. Prior to his September twenty twenty two arrest, he had been a member of an international cybercrime group called Lapsus Dollar. I haven't talked to Goatree about this. I have to get his opinion on this. That's what he's on the other side. You know, he's doing the cybersecurity protection against people like this. He was on bail for hacking and video and BT slash ee. I don't know who that is.

Is that a game company, Travis, you know, I don't know. And he's placed under police protection at a hotel but again, you know, he just uses a firestick, a hotel TV, and a mobile phone and he gets into g GTA six and he releases all this stuff. His legal team claimed that the trailer that he put out that he got from them got one hundred and twenty eight million views on YouTube in just its first four

days, suggesting that the hack did not harm rock Star Games. But according to them, it cost them five million dollars in thousands of hours and employee shifts. They come after people who are hackers that they catch them like this, they come after them with draconian measures. Aaron Schwartz who was not a hacker, but he was an activist who resisted SISPA, Sopa acta Pippa, and then they finally got SISA through after they killed Aaron Swartz. I believe

they killed him. They started coming after him. They said, well, he logged onto the computer at MIT and he didn't have the credentials and everything. So they got a woman who was a federal prosecutor up in Massachusetts. They were grooming her to become governor Carmine or Teas, And at first, you know, she's talking about how she's going to come after him with a

lot of you know, penalties and things like that. Then he supposedly committed suicide and people got really angry with her driving this guy who'd become I'm a hero to a lot of people because he had worked against government censorship and surveillance. And her husband tweeted out a thing and said, no, she just offered him if he confessed, you just offered him, you know, like a short sentence with a suspended on probation and that type of thing. She

didn't drive him to suicide. And then he took that down because they didn't want people to realize that maybe he had been killed. But it's been ten years since the previous version of Grand Theft Auto. And when you think about his crime versus what Grand Theft Auto portrays, Yeah, we just had somebody, I don't know the story of this guy, somebody in Prague who went on a mass shooting spree. Why is it that we see this kind of

stuff that we didn't used to see. Well, if you go back to twenty thirteen, when the previous version of Grand Theft Auto was released, this publication called the gamer dot com UH talked about the fifteen most despicable acts that you can commit in grand theft auto and after these other acts they would say, and we love them, Yeah, we love doing this and we love it. And of course they make it clear they can understand the difference between

somebody playing a game and what real life is. I say, we understand that difference. Well, you know, you've got a lot of people and who don't understand that difference, because you've got a lot of people like the Nashville killer, probably like this person who just shut all these people in Prague, they don't understand the difference. I understand that there's MK Ultra programs and all that. Don't You don't have to remind me of that. You don't

have to think that I don't understand what that is. But there's other aspects of this stuff that's out there as well. As I've said, I think the reason they won't release the manifesto of this training killer it just shows you whether these people are capable of in terms of driving some people over the edge. Yeah, you look at MK Ultra, but you know you can do

that to people with this transgender stuff. As I've said before, make them hate themselves, hate your skin color, hate your sex, your gender, and then hate everybody and go and kill them. You know, let's not miss the clear forest that is in front of us, because we're studying the tree of mk Ultra. Yes they've used that, but take a look at what they're doing in a blanket way through the schools, through the entertainment, through the games, through the films, and all the rest of this stuff.

And so here's an example. The Gamer was saying this in twenty thirteen when the last Grand Theft Auto came out. Even among the violent video games out there, Grand Theft Auto stands in a class all its own, says the Gamer. Nobody can beat the original crime themed open world masterpiece series. There will always be GTA. Every other game of this kind is just an imitator. This magical franchise tends to bring a new set of controversies with it

everywhere it goes. They've continued the trend with a Grand Theft GTA five. They've continued the trend of increasing the violence and becoming more and more controversial to keep up with how sick and maniacal mainstream society continues to become. They say, what a time to be alive well again? Cause or effect? Which one is the cause? Which one is the effect? We always have this argument when we talk about content. And I know I'm sounding like Tipper Gore

here, but occasionally liberals can get something right. But when we look at this, is it a cause or effect? Or are they just reinforcing each other? Is it an echo chamber? I think that's what is happening here. I think is an echo chamber that amplifies. And both of these things amplify each other. Of course, they said about GTA five in twenty thirteen. Of course, beating people with baseball bats and shooting them with small arms

and driving full speed into them with vehicles is one thing. But part of the beauty of this series is that they've sold over two hundred and fifty million games by allowing the player to get more creative than that. While it may be in poor taste and while it may be borderline obscene, we know the

difference between real life and a video game. So we're going to count down fifteen to the most despicable acts a player can commit in Grand Theft Auto, and we're going to go We're going for more than just shooting people, vehicular homicide and brutal assaults with weapons. Here, those are not a big deal in this series. So again, are we causing mass killers? Are we amplifying the effect of that? Are we generating feedback effect for that as well?

So first one, I'll just show a little bit of this. I'm not going to go over every one of these in detail. But again, this is grand theft auto and this is how you can kill people by drowning them or you know, shooting them. So here's a guy whos running down a dock and now he pulls out a gun and I was just going to start shooting at people, and some of the people he shoots, and some of the people he scares off the dock and they jump into the water.

And then as he gets to the end of the dock and looks down, he sees people who are floating in the water, dead, not moving. And there we go, kill both people. Now let's shoot some people. Yeah that great? Isn't that fun? I mean, what a way to entertain yourself. Feel free to drop in if you disagree with this. Travis is somebody who plays games. Another thing you can do is killing ladies of the night, as I say, to get your money back, shooting prostitutes,

targeting cops, Yeah, that's another thing that you can do. Or you can fly planes in the buildings and Reenact nine to eleven. They let you do that. In Grand Theft Auto you can put somebody in the trunk of your car and then push them off a cliff. And this fun. Don't you love games? Games? This is a six society and it's getting sicker. And this is one of the reasons why, as I said, this feedback amplification blowing somebody up on National TV. Or you can play a

fetch with a dog using a hand grenade. Oh that's loads of laughs, isn't it. You know, people think that these things don't have any effect on them. Do you realize when they want to sell you their brand of margarine? Why did these people spend millions of dollars on it? Edward Burnees knew that that got people into World War One and other things like that.

Propaganda for Woodrow Wilson. He goes to Madison Avenue. You may think that you're not susceptible of this stuff, but when you go to the grocery store, you're going to be more likely to grab the thing that you're familiar with. And all these other things. They have a way to provide this.

And so I say, we always talk about things like MK Ultra, but we don't talk about how the culture is being dragged to hell, not just by drag Queen's Storytime Hours, which you understand the influence of that has and these things have influence on young people. They harden them to violence. It's no longer shocking, you get accustomed to it. It's one of the reasons why the games and the movies become more and more violent all the time.

Well, because you get it's all there to shock you. And so whether you look at a horror film or you look at something that's got a lot of sexual content, and it's got to continually, continually go to the next thing, just like a drug, right, got to get some harder. That's not getting me the fix anymore. And so that's why you see this kind of stuff. And you can do sexual assault of people and grand theft auto and you can also torture people, you can waterboard people and all the

rest of this stuff. That's what they put in in twenty thirteen. So again, this guy, his crime was not any of this, although he probably loves his stuff and he doesn't well why shouldn't I be able to just hack in and show people this wonderful program that we all love. But no, he just he showed what they were working on. He showed their trailers, and so he gets a life in prison in a mental institution. Because if you mess with these rich proverbs who produce this garbage like this, you

get life in prison, not them, They get rich. Yeah, the rock Star Games just say it's just a game, it's just for miners. Well, you know they're the people who are going to take it more seriously, aren't they. But because he shows their trailer, something's going to come out. In twenty twenty five, I saw one article said that he had gotten some code. Even if he released their code, I'm sorry, that's not worth a life in prison. What if he did some of the other

stuff. What if he shot up the people at Rockstar Games like they portray being done everywhere. Would that be a serious crime. I don't know, you know what, what is the standard of that we have anymore? We can just make this stuff up, can't we. We're going to take a quick break and when we come back, we're going to talk a little bit about some other news. I want to talk a little bit about war in the context of Christmas and a time that we talk about peace on earth.

We're going to be right back. Stay with us. You're listening to the David Knight Show. Looking for better information. Apsradionews dot com features articles and commentary along with audio from all the top news from around the world. Apsradionews dot com well as we talk about excessive penalties and punishment. In Australia, their e Safety Commissioner has initiated a civil penalty proceedings against Elon Musk's Twitter now

called X seven hundred and eighty thousand dollars fine per day. Is that excessive, Well, it would be for pretty much anybody but the world's richest man. Quite frankly, you know this nearly you know, three quarters of a million dollars, and that could bankrupt Elon Musk in eight hundred years. That's how much money he's got. I mean, it's like we saw the same

thing happen in Texas as we were moving out. We didn't know it, but Elon Musk was moving into the county where we lived, and he was doing all kinds of things with you know, he's got his boring company and he had SpaceX had a headquarters there and anything. So he was expanding this stuff out and a building kind of a complex there. He's going to have some housing for some of his employees and stuff like that. But you know the people who said, well, we've got we want you to here.

You got to have your sewer connection, he says, now, I'm not gonna bother with that. I'm just gonna dump into the Colorado River. What and then this is what we would like you to do in terms of your curb cuts into the road. It's like, I'm not gonna bother with that. I'm gonna do it the way I want to do it. And uh so they started finding him and he said, I don't care what these fines are. Keep doing what you're doing. We'll pay the fines. I don't

care. To the extent that the people in that county said, well, what are we going to do? Do we raise these fines? I mean, the finds are already really high for ordinary people, but for Elon Musk, he just blows it off. And I'm telling you, you know, when people get this this has just happened in Australia, and then of course there's going to be. The European Union is going to do the same thing, and you're going to see an echo chamber from the mainstream alternative media,

Maga bird press. Look at this, Look at our billionaire savior. How they're coming after him. Poor guy. You know he's gonna they're got to bankrupt him in a thousand years. He knows what he's doing. He'll probably take these fines and keep going. And I'm glad that he's going to keep something open that is supposedly free speech, but it's not free speech if you don't if you're critical of Elon Musk, you know that's he'll let you be critical of other people, not of him. You know, that type of

thing. So again, keep that in mind. You know when you look at this, Yes, it is horrible. The EU and these other governments in Australia and the United States especially don't want to have any free speech, and that is reprehensible. I'm not excusing that whatsoever. But I'm just saying that he can afford to do this science and it is he's not even going to feel it. It's nothing to him. But we've got this article on Nature came out on Wednesday said if you're doing your own research. You hear

all this stuff, Do your own research. I say that, people say that, do your own research. You know, here's what I'm telling you. But look it up, see if that's true. Look it up yourself. Don't simply believe it because Fauci tells you. Don't simply believe that the vaccine is harmless because Alex wants to promote Trump and says Trump's not giving you the bad stuff. He's given you sugar water. Yeah, they're taking this COVID virus which has not been isolated, and they're going to kill and weaken

it. Well, you know, a virus is if there are viruses. They've never claimed that a virus was alive like bacteria, something you can't see. So again, it's a model. It's a representation like our different representations of the universe, you know, and planetary movement or of the atom itself. These things are always changing all the time, you know, going from the Neil's boor model of the atom to quantum physics and stuff like that.

I don't know if there's a virus or not. I don't know if that's the correct way to explain the disease that's out there we're seeing pathogens or what we're seeing. But you know, if you were going to inoculate somebody with something is caused by a bacteria which you can see, and you would weaken or kill it. That's not what that was about. Alex knew that it was an MRA code that was going to come in and reprogram your DNA and

be self replicating. Why is he telling people that it's going to be weakened or attenuated and it's like sugar water. But if you're getting bad information like that, you need to do your own research, you know, and understand where people are coming from. So why I mention it? You need to understand that they're going to lie to you to further their agenda. The Fauci's going to lie to you to further his agenda. Trump is going to lie to you to further his agenda. Alex is going to lie to you to

further his agenda. They've got an agenda and they don't care what happens to you, you see, and so these people are running it. This article on Nature said we did an experiment. We got three thousand Americans and showed people who had been nudged. That's their term nudged, because that's what they're constantly doing. They're constantly nudging you in a direction. Very subtle propaganda is

what they call nudging. People have been nudged to do research online were nineteen percent more likely to believe a false or misleading article over those who only looked at reputable sources. And you know what they're saying here, if you got people who do their own research, nineteen percent of them realize that we're selling them a bill of goods and lying to them about a government or an official narrative they portray, Well, you know, people do their own research,

they're going to get involved in misinformation. No, they're going to find information that they missed, information that the government didn't want them to see. And then they're not going to believe the government's lies, which they the government says, well, that's misinformation then. And so in this context, by the way, you have Donald Tusk, who is part of the EU, part of their censorship, and they're, you know, one of the core globalists.

They just had an election in Poland, and Poland the Conservatives lost and they put Donald Tusk in. Immediately sees the major TV station there, the government TV station, that's one of the reasons why you don't want to have government TV. But you can imagine what would happen here. For example, you know Trump gets in what if he arrests the people who are running PBS and NPR. I know, I know you want to see. You'd like

to see that happen. I would not be too upset to see that either, except for the president that it sets right because the next time, you know, every time you have a change of election, you know, the people like Zelenski or the people like Donald Tusk that are allied with the Biden administration, our government, they want to throw their opponents into jail. We don't want to have a system like that, but that's what is happening in

Poland right now. So yes, do not believe any narrative except what we give you, and that is essentially what all these corrupted institutions are saying. The National Sex Ed Conference has a webinar to explain to people that children are in danger if parents have us any kind of a say in sex education.

No, no, the people who are in danger. If parents have a say in sex education, if parents understand what's being talked to their kids, the people are in danger of these sex educators, these groomers with what they're doing today, but they portray it as the parents would give false information to these kids and endanger them. No, they're being endangered by groomers who pretend that miners have the maturity to mutilate themselves sexually because of the gas lighting that

is being done to them by the so called educators that are there. You know, it is kind of interesting and I'm not going to take the time to talk about it today. I might talk about it at another point, but there is in the UK. The institution that was at the forefront of all this gender gas lighting that's happening to minor kids was Tavistock, and a guy who worked there for over a decade has now left and they're going to close it down at the beginning of this next year because it's such an outrage

in the UK. And one of the guys who was working there has written a book exposing all this stuff as well. That's all come out and even in the UK they're shutting this thing down. And he talked about how there was he called it Transhausen by proxy in other words, like Munchausen by proxy. So the parents are bringing these kids in and saying, here's my three year old and they identify as being a different gender, and we're preparing him

and all this other kinds. We all know that's not coming from the kid. It's coming from the parents. And they're doing this in the same way. And when people talk about Munchausen by proxy, that's these psychiatrists saying, well, the parents are doing this to the kid simply because they want attention or because you know, they they want everybody to focus on them. And so Mary Ellen Moore of FreeMind Films has sent this to us, and I

want to thank her for that, thank her for supporting the show. She said, I'm in the UK for a few days and she said, look at these headlines that are here. Maybe the people here are starting to wake up. And here's the headline from the Daily Telegraph. Schools told to presume that children cannot change their gender. Again. The worm has turned in the UK. They're shutting down Tavis talk. This guy's got a book that has just been released, is blowing the whistle on all this stuff. And now

they're starting to switch. And sent me the article talking about what they're doing there. But I'm going to talk about that at another time. I have a couple more things that I want to say here in the context of culture, but I don't really want to get into this stuff today. I'm really kind of sick of it, frankly, and I'll just quickly mention, this is what a lot of people are talking about with this kid's program, co Camelan, I guess is the way Cocomelan. It's the way he pronouns that.

Okay, Travis is nodding as idiot. How do you know about this thing? There's a Netflix kid that they show that they're using to groom toddlers. It's crazy, especially because it's not even the latest thing that has gotten the attention. Is this kid. He's got two dads and they little boy, and they put him in a two two and he dances. And you've got your little toddlers who are watching this. You want to talk about grooming, You want to talk about sex education. I mean, Disney and Netflix

will groom your kids? Are you going to let these people have access to your kids? Are you going to set your kids in front of the TV set and let these perverts baby set your kids? Because that's what you're really doing. You're letting perverts baby sit your kids. And so long before this happened, As Breitbart points out, there's been accusations long before they were promoting

this cross dressing and all the rest of this stuff. There were other accusations about how it was creating anger issues, ADHD, autism, speech delays, all kinds of behavioral issues, and how it was addicting the kids. One mother said, I put my kids in and started watching this thing, and they became like zombies. They were mesmerized by what they saw, she said. She told Newsweek, I knew it was affecting him because he would be in a daze while watching it. You could wave your hand right in front

of his face and he wouldn't move. It was almost scary, almost scary, almost scary, but he didn't scare you did it. It didn't scary enough to cancel your Netflix subscription. And I got to say, you know, if you're there's a lot of different ways if you want to watch movies, there's a lot of different ways that you can do it without feeding that

monster. Because even if you're not putting your kids or grandkids in front of Coco Melon, you're feeding the people that put that stuff out, the people who give Barack Obama Michelle Obama millions, tens of millions, undreds of millions of dollars to create propaganda garbage for adults. Stop feeding that thing. One commenter described the show as baby cocaine. He said, taking the kids away from the cartoon can lead to quote very real symptoms of withdrawal because they're addicted

to it. The phenomenon, says bright Bart, appear to be linked to the spike and the cartoon's popularity during the COVID nineteen lockdowns of twenty twenty. No, it wasn't a COVID lockdown. It wasn't COVID nineteen lockdowns, bright Bart, it was Trump lockdowns. During the Trump lockdowns of twenty twenty one, popular TikTok account claim that the show is addictive because it is edited in a way that it creates over stimulation for kids. Do you think they know

that. I think they know that. I think they know exactly what they're doing. We're gonna take a quick break and we'll be right back. Sometimes your day needs a little smoothing. Check out the Jazz Channel at apsradio dot com and the APS Radio app. And leave the stress behind. You're listening to the David Knight Show. All right, let's talk about war at this

time when people talk about peace on Earth. And this is a story that was on zero Hedge and somebody's already responded to it, so well, there may be a different way that Trump might want to take a look at this. But as Trump is talking about how he as the Prince of peace, he is going to bring peace to the ear in just a single day.

Besides the sheer demagoguery of this saying he'll do it in twenty four hours, some of the other things that he said were what caused this lieutenant retired Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg and Dan Negrea to write this article on the National Interest. They said, far from abandoning Ukraine, a second Trump administration would lift restrictions

on Ukrainian military and aid in order to force a peace settlement. Donald Trump is vowed that in a second presidential term, he'll end the war in twenty four hours. But again, you remember, and we talk about this and somebody ending the war right away makes me think about when Ronald Reagan became president.

Right as soon as he was sworn they released the hostages in Iran, and many people believe, you know, most Americans' perception of what's going on Iran does not begin in the nineteen fifties with our coup there against a leftist

who is going to nationalize oil industries. The CIA led a coup against him, put in the Shaw of Iran, who worked with American oil companies, and as part of that, the CIA then subsequently trained the Shaw of Iran to have a group of ruthless secret police who would torture and kill anybody who was even moderately opposed to him. They called it the Savakh. And then

that all blew up eventually, that kind of horrific repression. And I knew that background because again there was a lot of Iranian students who had come to America that were in the engineering classes that I was taking at the time, and they were protesting with maskie masks on their face and things like that. Talk to them about it, It's like, what's going on? What's this

about? Anyway, that was the context for what happened with the blowback that put in somebody that was equally horrible in a different way, the Iatola, of course, and the blowback for them taking over the US embassy and imprisoning all these people. But the reason that they released all that stuff on day one, well, it was not because they were necessarily afraid of Ronald Reagan. Was because Ronald Reagan's campaign manager, Bill Casey, was one of the

founders of the CIA. It had been very active in World War II with the OSS, which was the predecessor to the CIA. They called him. While Bill Casey, he was very aggressive with the things that he did, and as Reagan's campaign manager, he saw an opportunity. I'm just assuming that they didn't have anything to do with the takeover the embassy and the installation of the Ayatola. That's nobody suggested that yet, But I wouldn't put anything past

any of these people. But he went secretly to Iran and began the Iran Contra thing before Reagan got elected. You keep these hostages, do not release them to Jimmy Carter until after we were elected, and then we'll let you continue to buy parts for the state of the art US jets that you have

here. And then after the election they did that Oliver North and the rest of these people, and then they took that money that they made selling these parts to Iran that Iran was not supposed to have, that it was illegal to sell that to them, and the Reagan administration, with people like Oliver North used that for their secret wars. They'd also done illegally. And so when you look at this, I wonder if anything like that is in the

making here, just just asking for a friend. You know, Putin invaded Ukraine under both Obama and Biden, but he did not attack while Trump was present. And there's a lesson in that. I mean, don't we want to have Dayton anymore? Isn't it a win to pause aggression? I think it was. That should be the lesson. But you know, Trump is going to be completely different this time around. I'm telling you he's going to

be playing to a different audience. He wants to be remembered. He wants to be liked by people like Maggie Halberman at the New York Times and by people like Carl Bernstein at the Washington Post, even though they can they always despise him. He gives them the premiere access to him and talks frankly to

them, and he thinks they're going to love him. But he's going to continue to do that kind of stuff, just like he you know, did his gun control by executive order with a bump stock, and then all he started the gun control by executive order against pistol braces, and it was continued by Biden. Anyway, the Trump doctrine for Ukraine's arguing that he would use his personal relationship with Zelenski and Putent to negotiate a settlement on the first day

and just one day. Both sides appear to believe that they can still prevail on the battlefield, but Trump's proposed approach says this retired to lieutenant general could change that calculation. Trump said, and this is why they're basing this whole article and analysis off of Trump said, I would tell Putin, if you don't make a deal, we're going to give him a lot, and we're

going to give Ukraine more than they ever got if we have to. Oh, sounds kind of like Nixon and Kissinger deciding that they're going to when in Vietnam by secret bombing campaign or something. I don't know. We should pay attention to history sometimes it tells us things that we could learn. Some Republicans argue that the Ukraine conflict is a European matter, and it has no consequence to the United States. So just stop feeding this coup and war machine.

Do what you did the first time. If you become president, just pause it. As a matter of fact, you know, Trump might understand that Ukraine and the people and not the people of Ukraine, but the Ukrainian government that was put in by Obama is you know, a core part of his problem. It was all the way through all this Russia Gate stuff, you had people who were Ukrainian, like Vinman, what was it, It's lieutenant colonel to you right now, Vinman, whatever his title is. I don't

care other people. I used to always talk about Alexandria Chiloup. I interviewed people from Ukraine, so they saw the DNC there, you know, Alexandria Chiloup and other people working and conspiring with the Ukrainian government officials, and of course you know Victoria Newlan state Department official who kicked all this stuff off. But they said, well, you know, strategically this author as his public comments reinforce, Trump disagrees with this idea of just leaving Ukraine alone, even

though these people are his enemies. He's gonna supposedly support them. He sees ending the war as a major foreign policy issue and one that he plans to accomplish on day one, because you see, even if Zelensky and all these other people are a bunch of ruthless Obama Biden co conspirators against him, he still wants the perception of being the great peacemaker peace through strength. But what happens if we just give peace a chance? Right? All these stupid wars

of empire that never end. And so just give you another reminder. We see this every year that over a couple of days of Christmas, as the war began, the World War One again in nineteen fourteen, it was only a few months old. People had not been hardened yet in their hatred of the other side, and you had peace breakout, and this was We've had so many movies about this. We've had operas and plays about this, and now we've got a candy commercial about it. They went a great deal to

produce this in the UK. Here's a part of it Christmas Eve, nineteen fourteen. Chen Kins. He's holding their product, by the way, nice product placement there. He's on the trench. He's looking at the pictures and the letters and the chocolate bar that he gets from home. Oh rise, oh see singing song that night in both German and English. And this is what happened. See movement on the other side of everybody gets her arms up. It's gonna be a charge, but it's not. Guy's got his hands

up. M M. My name is Jim, My name is Otto. Please meet me. Those should just should. They got together. They exchanged cards, gifts, played football. Did this for a couple of days and it became very extensive. It's not just in one area. Dunk, Happy Christmas, full of I knocking and they exchange gifts. One of them gives a biscuit, the other one gives or cookie whatever that was, and the other one gives a chocolate bar because that's the sponsor. It is a real

sponsor. A piece. Right. You heard them play leaning on the Everlasting Arms? What was the What was the purpose of World War One? You know what? What was? What caused it? Yeah again, oh arch duke? For what what caused No, it wasn't an assassination of an arch duke. It was the geopolitical aspirations of people who wanted to build and extend

their empire. Politicians who are willing to kill those people. And after this went on for a few days and it spread all up and down the line, the generals on both sides got wind of it and they punished some people for fratnizing with the enemy. And I had to watch that very closely. But of course it wasn't too much longer after that the killing became so ruthless that the people on the front lines would no longer try to reach out to the other side. You see, that's what we have to be careful of.

You can see that in the Hamas Israeli thing, right, that just the ruthless murder that doesn't end, and how it spreads, and how your own people are killed and the leaders don't care, and the longer it gets, the more people get hardened into their hatred. But you know, what was that war all about? World War One? What was their goal? How were they going to end it? Well, essentially ended because people just couldn't put up with the slaughter anymore. And again it was the leadership there.

It was certainly not our war, certainly was an America's war. We certainly did not have an interest there. But of course Woodrow Wilson, being a globalist want of disinvolved in that, trying to lay after the war the foundation for a global government through the League of Nations and all these other things. But it made no sense for any country to be involved in that.

But you heard in that commercial that was interesting they put in there, leaning on the Everlasting Arms and old heymn, which would have been around at that time. That goes back to the eighteen hundreds. But it made me think of Sergeant York. You know, this is another story that goes back to World War One. And of course the Sergeant York, Alvin York is celebrated here in Tennessee, Tennessee Native. They got a big statue of him down at the state Capitol, much larger than life. I mean, it's like

nine foot tall statue that's at ground level. Kind of interesting. But you know, Sergeant York was a movie that was done with Gary Cooper's done in the middle of you know, as we were getting into World War Two, or we were already in it. I don't remember the exact I think we're already in it or about again in it. It wasn't just a story of bravery and of accomplishment, because it truly was amazing what he was able to do, but was also a story that they could use to shut down opposition

to World War Two. Because people remembered World War One, the war to end all wars, hopefully, the futility of it, the slaughter of it. Americans didn't want to have anything to do with it. So they told Sergeant York's story, and in it you see his conversion from a peace loving Christian to somebody who will go fight their war for them. You applied for exemption, I believe as a conscientious objector, Well, I think we can

disregard that, York. Sergeant Parsons recommends your promotion to the rank of corporal with special detail as instructor in target practice, Captain Danford, and I heartily approve. I congratulate you, York. I'm much obliged to you, Major Buxton. Captain Danford, Well, I learned them fellers to shoot the best I can, like I've already done Pusher and Burt, I mean, Private Ross and Thomas. But well, I don't want to be no corporal. What's that I said? I don't want to be no corporal? Why not

wait a minute, Captain let him talk? Well, you see, uh? Is it because of your religious convictions, York, Yes, sir, that's it. You see, I believe in the Bible, and I'm believing that that this year life we're living is something the Lord does give us, and we got to be a live in it the best we can. And I'm figuring that killing other folks ain't no part of what he was intending for us to be a doing here. Well, yes, in a way, I agree with him, York, with your permission, Major Curtly, Captain

said down, York, you say you believe in the Bible. Yes, well I do too. But do you believe that the Bible means that a man shouldn't fight for what he believes to be right? Will it done? Said? Blessed are the peacemakers? Yes, I know, But do you remember that verse? I think it's in Luke where he says he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one. He said that to Peter, but he doesn't stop Peter from using the sword. He said

them that lives by the sword will be a perishing by the sword. Or further on, Yes, I remember, but I'll go ahead, Captain. But according to say John, he said, my kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, then would my servant fight. Well, that's just the plant. Captain. He done said his kingdom were not of this world. And that's that a difference. Yes, But it's the long again, York. And you ever read this history of the

United States? Sure a lot of writing. Sure, there's a lot of writing. And it's a history book. And I don't know, you know, they gave him that book and the way it proceeds in the story. So he tells them, well, you know, you take this book with you about American history. You take it home with you, take some leave, think about this, and come back. And if you still don't want

to fight, don't give you leave to go. Or you know you can since you're an excellent marksman, you can train other people about this will promote you. But the thing is, I wonder in that history book, do they talk about George Washington, talk about the guy who was present at the time, Woodrow Wilson. You know, when we look at George Washington,

it wasn't just the Bible that was again killing. It was the George Washington that was again getting involved in foreign entanglements and that type of thing, and if he wants to go back and look at other Christian thought, that's why we talk about justified war. I don't think that Sergeant Yorke would have had any qualms whatsoever if America had been invaded to defend innocent life. But that was not our war. I don't know that World War One was anybody's war

except for the politicians. And so we have to think about this the whole. You know, it comes down to him reading in the Bible, render to Caesar? What is due to Caesar? Well, if the government wants to get involved in preemptive warfare, if the government wants to just have continuous war without any regard for human life, without any regard for any kind of justification, then I don't think we need to follow that kind of a Caesar.

I think that we resist that. Frankly, that's true American history, not the phony American history that they portray with us. Then, to give you an example of this, getting back to Ukraine, we've got a former US general says that in order to win the war with between Ukraine and Russia, Ukraine needs to mimic nineteen forty four Nazi Germany. Does he know anything about history. How did that work out for the Nazis when they went to

war with Russia. That's what we've been saying from the very beginning. I said it Jerald Clinty. Napoleon got defeated when he went after Russia's a giant country with a lot of people. You know, people were saying that about Russia. They said, you know, it's going to be tough for Russia to conquer the Ukraine because it's such a large area. People say that about Iran as well. If we get into a fight, there very larger, lots of people, lots of moving parts that you got to kill, and

so it's difficult to win a war like that. But you know, Russia one of the biggest countries, not in population necessarily, but in land mass, and they do have a lot of people, and they have a history of taking blow after blow after blow and persisting when they are attacked. And so if this general knows anything about why in the world would he say, we have to do what the Nazis did in nineteen forty four that didn't work out for them. We got idiots like this that we're getting advice from.

Not only do they not have any Christian principles about justified war. But they don't even know what they're talking about when it comes to military history. But there's more to it than that, if you read between the lines what this guy is saying. Ben Hodges, former commander of the US Army forces based in Europe, in a long time Ukraine as they call him a supporter, but he's a long time Ukraine instigator, instigator because lees understand who the aggressor

is here. It's the Obama administration and people of that ilk. He said, the Ukrainian government has to consider what Germany did in the Second World War to stand a chance against Russia. And so as you're scratching your head, here's where it makes sense. He says, they're going to have to increase production of ammunition and weapons in Ukraine. Oh you see, this is what these generals are. They don't care about winning, they don't care who dies,

how many people die, what happens to the country. No, it's about building weapons. It's about the military industrial complex. And he's saying, we've got to be they've got to become like the Nazis, and to become you know, and they've got to ramp up their weapon production, which still didn't win the war for the Nazis. And the way we're going to do that is we're going to take some of our military industrial corporations and we're going

to set up weapons manufacturing facilities in Ukraine. Money, Kachin, Kachin, Kachin, always about the money. For these people. They will kill you for money. They will kill our country for money. They will drag us down into a war for money. That's what this is about, he says. Think about what Germany did in nineteen forty four. Aircraft production for the

Lufwaffo peaked in nineteen forty four. That's after more than two years of steady bombing by the Royal Air Force and the US Army Air Corps bombing German cities to nothing, and yet the German aircraft production increased. So I think the Ukraine can do that with some improving efficiencies. And we've got some Western country companies that are already there helping and making money. How transparent is their agenda, these people who want continuous war everywhere so they can make money. Nothing

could be played. Yeah, instead of handing them an American history book, once you hand them the balance sheets of these four or five military industrial complex giants. That are they're making money sacrificing the lives of Ukrainians or Americans or anybody anybody. The US and his allies have recommended boosting Kiev's domestic military industry. Of course they would. Moscow has constantly slammed the government in Kiev as a Nazi regime, they said, and of course it is literal Nazis.

They have the symbols, they have the names, all the rest of stuff. Why would we not believe that they're Nazis. Isn't it funny how the press in the United States will bend over backwards to ignore all of the obvious Nazi connections and expressions that are being done by Ukraine. They will ignore all of that, and yet you know, they're like ferreting out with white glove anything that might possibly be Nazish about their opposition everywhere and in Ukraine. What

they do is they put a Jew up front as a beard. That's what Zelenski is. He's a beard for their Nazi government. It is a Nazi government. White Yeah. So let's be like the Nazi. Let's even be more like the Nazis. Let's have a massive arms build up and we can make the money. American and British curators recommend that the Ukrainian leadership lower the minimum draft age to seventeen years and increase the maximum draft age to seventy They

want people like me to fight their war. And he was saying the things like I said, this is about I can't do this. This is not in my age. I can't do this. They use people as cannon fodder, and they're going to as cannon fodder. They're going to get grand fodder out there. Hello matter, Hello fodder here we are at Camp Granada. Yeah, they're going to throw the old people into the hopper here and women

to the front lines as well, throw everything there. We literally are going to fight them to the last Ukrainian and what we need are more weapons manufacturing going on right there in Ukraine. Well what about Germany, Well only seventeen percent of Germans are ready to defend even their own country. Even their own country. You know, when you look at what has happened after World War Two, and certainly the Nazis were not worth fighting for. They learned that

lesson. But I think it's gotten to the point where when you look at you know, what was the Nazis' crime of aggression against other people? We do preemptive war now with everybody, you know, Japanese. It was a day of infamy, we were told and you know, we find out that FDR was included in that, knew about that, Let it happen. And we've had preemptive war ever since then. So, you know, Hans, are we the bad guys here with us? But since then, you know,

Germany has become the symbol of evil everybody can to understand. If they want to demonize your opponent, of course you call them Nazis. And so this has been such a pervasive meme for all of entertainment and Western civilization that they've made the Germans hate their own country to the extent that only seventeen percent would even defend themselves if they're attacked. Now, this is what they do

to kids today. You're white, you're evil, you're in the wrong body, and now you need to you know, attack other people as well. This Treans killer, you know, so propagandized that she could look a nine year old in the face and shoot them. And so you've got seventeen percent of Germans only would to defend their nation because propaganda post war has been to hate all things German. You know, it had to be this blanket propaganda. Yeah, certainly hate what Hitler did, hate what the Nazis did,

but they've made this so pervasive that people hate all things German. And you know that same type of thing is being done against us as well when you look at them tearing down the Civil War monuments and monuments to both sides of the Civil War Union, as well as Confederate tearing down monuments to the people who founded this country, tearing down monuments of Teddy Roosevelt, tearing down monuments of Christopher Columbus, everybody, all of it being erased because you have to

hate America. And they've created this narrative where to be hated because at some point in time we had slavery that we ended. Don't hate the country's where it is ongoing. But again, understand, this is the game that's being paid in a America. We're being lied to by our own government. They want to use us as cannon fodder. And just as the Germans have been pacified with this self loathing hating themselves, America is being pacified in the same

way all white people are evil. It's not okay to be white. Racism celebrated in the institutions, and one of the things that bothers me, and it's one of the reasons why I've not really talked about this plagiarizing black woman

that's the head of Harvard. Did nobody notice the fact that for years they have been hating and white people racist towards white people, But when it happens to Jewish people, Oh, you got to get rid of them, And all the donors leave and Congress says, we're not going to give any more money to them. Well, I don't think they ought to get money. And I think that it's wrong to be any Semitic, but I also think

it's wrong to be any white. Why is it that it was not a problem for Congress, It was not a problem for these donors, It wasn't a problem for the press, for anybody. When they hated white people with a vitriolva they now show to Jews. Why is that the case, Well, we know why it's the case. We know what is happening to America. You have to be you have to hate all things American, you have to hate American people, And guess what American people are going to get to

the point where they won't even fight to defend themselves. That is what these people want. In mid December, Germany's Build tabloid reported that the German Army was still losing staffing despite the government's pledges to increase the army ranks. The number of armed forces personnel dropped from one hundred and eighty three thousand in the summer to one hundred and eighty one thousand at the end of October, with thousands of vacancies unfilled, the paper reported at the time, adding that only

zero point four percent of the total German population was in the military. And so the same thing as being done here in America. It isn't just the abuse of the soldiers through the vaccine mandates that was a big deal, but it also showed the utter contempt for the Constitution, the other utter contempt for the free exercise of religion, the other utter contempt for religion itself and especially Christianity. And so people are not joining the military, but people in the

universities, universities like Harvard are being taught to hate all things American. And if we don't change this, it's going to you know, we're going to turn into Germany, a former superpower. Not that we care about being a superpower, but we want to have prosperity and we want to have peace. And so when we come back, we're going to talk as a matter of

fact, as we talk about this Jewish versus Christian thing. There was a very interesting op ed piece from Naomi Wolf, who is a liberal think she's a lesbian, she's Jewish, and she talks about Christmas and how things have been turned upside down from when she was young, and she gets it. She really gets it. I don't know, I didn't know anything about it.

I saw that, you know, as she started pushing back against what Trump was doing with the lockdowns and other things like that, she truly understands what is happening now and it's a great take on it. We're going to be right back. Elvis, the Beatle and the Sweet Sounds of Motown. Find them on the Oldies channel at APS radio dot com. You're listening to the David Knight Show. Yes, and of course that's the German version of

Silent Night. Still a knock and but on Rumble, Michael de Silvia says, I'm convinced that war is just an excuse to demolish all the beautiful ancient buildings. Well that is unfortunately what happens. You know, when I I saw this mass shooting was happening in Prague killed according to the count yesterday, I don't know if more people have died killed fourteen shot an additional twenty nine. So it is it truly is amazing the body count that is there.

But I saw it was in Prague, and you know, I we used to travel, but not going to do that anymore because of what the airports of airplanes have become, TSA and all the rest of this stuff in the

crazy countries. But that was one place I never did get to go that I wanted to go, and I've wanted to go there ever since the movie Amadaeus was made, which again I was not a big fan of the way they portrayed Mozart and I thought it was kind of stupid, you know, try to portray them like a contemporary rock star, just kind of but if you can kind of ignore that part of it, the central character, the rest of it was very interesting, and it was very interesting the way that

it was a beautiful, beautifully filmed very interesting the way it was filmed, and so they you know, they wanted to show the time very accurately, and they did a great job of that, but they couldn't really show it so much in Vienna. They shot some things in Vienna, but a lot of the stuff that they shot they had to go to Prague because Vienna was

destroyed, just like you're saying there, Michael. So many buildings in Vienna, historical buildings of the time at Mozart were destroyed, but there was still a lot in Prague. And so there are places like that that I wanted to see because I like the architecture, I like the buildings that never never got to see them. But anyway, on Rock Fan, Jason Barker, good to see Jason. Hope you're feeling good here. We don't seek monsters to destroy anymore. We create them. Yeah, yeah, exactly right again

talking about John Adams. So we don't go abroad seeking monsters to destroy, Jason's as we We don't do that. We create the monsters abroad, and then of course we bring the tools that we used to fight those monsters brought we bring them home assive tyranny as James Madison said, so in terms of let's talk the rest of the program here about Christmas. Got a lot of

stuff about Christmas, and I had mentioned earlier in the week. I said, Hey, if any of you know where I can find this guy who I knew his first name was Don, but I couldn't find him on YouTube, and I knew that, you know, he had done a I just come across at by accident years ago when I was doing the show at Info Wars and I could play licensed music there on the air. I give it a try here. But I found his song and I really liked it.

It was kind of a jazz version of you know jazz, small jazz group version, not a big band jazz thing, but it's a small version of have yourself a merry little Christmas. But what I liked about it and what I played on the show was the fact that they changed it from if the Fates Allow to if the Lord allows. I thought that was a great change.

It made all the difference in the world. Is one thing I always kind of graded with me with that With that song, you know that the secular songwriters who wrote that, I think it was written for meet me in Saint Louis. That's the first place I remember it being sung by Judy Garland. And so whoever was doing it for Hollywood wanted to get the Lord out. And it's like, so, who are the fates that they're talking about. Whoever the fates are, They've got a will and a purpose, don't

they. But we can't say that it's God. It's kind of like you know what Krick and Watson was say when they discovered DNA. Well, okay, can't be God, can't be the guy of the Bible. It's got to be like space aliens. Yeah, yeah, that's it. That's the ticket. It's a pan spermia, we'll call it. So space aliens came here. We know that DNA tells us that it's intelligent design, and we can't deny that it's a very complicated code air detracting code and all the rest

of stuff. But we can't say that it was God who did this. So we'll invent something. That's what they did in Hollywood for for that song. If the fates allow, I'll just give you a little bit of a sample of it. But I like that, and I asked people, I said, hey, if you know where this is because I said I saw him when I spoke at Gerald's Occupy Peace thing in twenty twenty one. But I said, I can't find the song and I wanted to play it,

And so thank you to Aaron who found this. He said, you mentioned on the Monday Show, have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas song that you couldn't find. Funny enough, I shazammed that song on my iPhone years ago and it's still on my list. And it's by Don Miller. And so here's Don Miller's have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. And so I hope Don is doing well. And whether he has found the show or not, some people did not find it. But here is the song, and thank you Erin

for sending it to me. Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas. Make the you side. From now on our troubles will be minds way. Here we are out olden days, happy golden days of your faithful friends who want you to us, gather to us once, do they we all will be together. If a lord a lot that you saw there, that is Don and so if you want to pick that up, now you know his name, Don Miller. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. The picture on the album

is Don because he produced that album. We put the whole thing together, plays upright jazz bass, and he's a Christian and a freedom lover. So you know, support Don if you can find him. Don Miller. I got this email from a listener, Robert talking about his daughter Catherine, twenty two years old. He says she's autistic. By the age of seven, she would still not talk. Over those years, we went through five speech therapists at three hundred dollars an hour, but no progress. So I told

the wife that's it, we're done. I bought her a microphone and plugged in my guitar amp. He said, I would make her sing along with the stereo. She had to overcome all this, and all I could do was just to pray and act like Sergeant Carter. He said. Today she performs at Center Court at Lake Square Mall regularly, plus every other opportunity that we can get for her. She is no longer nonverbal. Praise the Lord, and that was the goal. Also, she's been playing guitar for eight

years. I insist on three hours a day practice minimum. She attended private school grades four through twelve to be around kids. Of her age. She can read music. She has the ear and perfect pitch. As she and my wife raised butterflies. He said, we plant the seed and God gives the increase. He makes it grow. At the time of his choosing, I'm sure he's not done with her yet, so I continue to pray, and so he gave me that, and then he sent me a little clip

of her singing, and I'll play a brief part of that. This is Catherine singing all Holy night, oh no, oh nighte, thank you and Merry Christmas. Mister night, well, Merry Christmas to you, Catherine, and to your dad and to your mom. So, yes, we plant. That's what culture is. It's cultivation. God gives the increase. But we plant, we water, we cultivate, and if we don't do that, we're not going to have a culture. This is also from another listener.

He said, God bless He said, xmus means Christmas. He said the X means Christ and the ancient Greek he said, I believe it represents the Cross. And I have seen other people say that as well. I've heard one person preach a sermon on that. You know, other people, it depends on who's their other people will try to use it just to get rid of Christ, and I think that's the way many people look at It's just like you're trying to x out Jesus out of history, outic culture.

But I think that it is, you know, there's an argument to be made for that historically anyway, that it isn't just trying to purge religion, perge Jesus more importantly out of everything. But I also saw saw meme where they had X Musk and they should a picture of Elon Musk because he's so infatuated with X. So thank you, Chris. I just thought i'd pass that along. And then this is sent to me by Allen, who is actually the op ed piece that I was talking about with Naomi Wolf, and

she just wrote this doctor Naomi Wolf. And again, as I said, she is in the past before she was activated by Trump's lockdown andso by the JAB killing people, she was a liberal. I think she's a lesbian like Rosa Cory was, and Rosa Cory was activated by finding out what was going on with this un Agenda twenty which then became the Agenda twenty thirty, and it was actually a Genda twenty one I'm sorry you, and Agenda twenty one

about the twenty first century. Then they made it more specific around twenty fifteen they said, yes, twenty thirty is what we're going to shoot for, not just nebulus. Sometime in the twenty first century anyway. That activated Rosa Cory, who has passed on now. But doctor Naomi Wolf says, the thing is, I remember Christmas, she said, I mean real Christmas,

she said. I was born in nineteen sixty two. That means that by nineteen sixty six or sixty seven or so, I was aware that something magical happened to the world, at least in our world in America in the middle of winter. By the time I was in kindergarten, I had some names for what was happening all around me. At these wonderful times, I grasped

the basic story outline all at once. It seemed that drab interiors, whether it's a grocery store with its beige linoleum flooring and its sad walls, or the institutional green halls of my elementary school, or the butcher's shop window which previously only had sausages and veal shops on bland display the windows of the hardware store, which has till then showcased just unremarkable containers of grout and drill bits and cans of paint. Indeed, even the intersections themselves of the road,

which before then could not have been less interesting. Suddenly all these erupted in a three dimensional froth of sparkle and shine and joyous images and radiant color.

So do you remember all these displays? You know, we were watching The Bishop's Wife, the original one the other day, and it opens up and everybody's looking at these department store windows, and Karen said, yeah, you know, you remember how that was people go to in New York City, especially she lived on the Long Island, so they were traveling to New York

and had all these different stores, these really elaborate window displays. I don't know if that all got killed by Trump's lockdowns in twenty twenty or not. That's still going. I knew that even in Tampa, which was pretty small at the time, not at all like it as today. Is my fact,

they had one department store. I had Moss Brothers, and it was a big department store I could find in a big city, several stories and escalators and all the rest of this stuff, and they had displays in the windows, and there were no shopping centers in the urban areas that we would drive, and there was no interstate to get you downtown, so we would drive like forty minutes to go downtown. My mom would shop when I was

very young, and I remember those displays as matter of fact. One year, around Christmas time, because it was Florida and kids didn't see snow, they brought in a truckload of snow for kids to play in, and they had an appearance by James Garner, who had a new TV show called gun Smoke where he played Marshall Dylan. I don't remember meeting him. I remember the snow, but he was there. My mom said he picked me up and she couldn't believe how tall he was. I mean, he was super

tall. They had you before he became Marshall Dylon. He was in the original Thing, Thing from Another Planet, and they had him there in costume. They brought him in because he was so tall to play the monster in that science fiction movie. But then you know, they brought him down there. I don't remember anything about that except the snow. But they would do all kinds of crazy stuff around Christmas time. She said, that's in a heartbeat. You had giant, smiling Santa, not a scary one, not

an ironic one, not a drunk one. Just Santa with the red cheeks and the big grin and the fully fluffy white beard. You had waving fronds of yellow, golden tinsil, bright green tensil. You had red tensil that was always the color of a candy apple or a fire truck. You had gigantic sleigh bells, two of them, always friendly, collegial with a plaid bow. You had cutouts of red sleighs piled with gifts. She's a good writer. And then she says, and then there were crushes. I love

them, I loved them. She emphasizes these were also called once upon a time Nativity scenes. And this is kind of where we get to the crux of what she's talking about here. She said, crushes abounded at Christmas time in the nineteen sixties. Yes, even in California. Now, I guess in California they have Away with the Manger, Away with that, Away with that. That probably would be a top song if somebody were to write that Away with the Manger, Get it out of here. I don't want to

have any of that stuff around here. Christmas world in the nineteen sixties was also made transcendental by the sudden presence of Christmas carols everywhere. They were mostly religious, though I didn't think of them as religious Christmas carols, but rather as Christmas carols, because the holiday itself was obviously religious. Oh come, all, you faithful angels, we've heard on high joy to the world,

we three kings of Orenaar. The music was played everywhere, with all kinds of instrumentation, but you heard it in drug stores and department stores and the homes of your friends. It elevated the mood at the vibration, if you will, she says, of everywhere, all at once, because all at once, sacred thoughts were being thought by thousands of people going about their otherwise

ordinary days. And there was everywhere that warm glow that you still feel sometimes in crowds on Valentine's Day or Mother's Day, as groups of humans together all think of someone they love. Also transformational was that the modern world that usually listened to nineteen sixties music was listening to and even caroling and singing melodies and

words from the seventeenth and eighteenth century. This gave in nineteenth century. So this gave a sense of otherness and of continuity and excitement everything that was all around us, since our history was rich and extended long into the past. Or they're trying to destroy that, aren't they ripping it out by the roots. That's what radicals do. They get to the root. As you try to grow this culture, as you try to cultivate this culture like you were

cultivating and growing a plant. The radicals come along and try to rip it out by the root. That's what they do. And she's onto that game. Continue with what she had to say. Our history was rich and extended long into the past, and since we were experiencing openings into the sounds of other times, whose worship and joys tended to that very day. But eventually the Nativity scenes and the Nativity plays and the carols even became quote controversial,

yeah, because we have to push Christ out of that. In the nineteen sixties through to the nineteen seventies and into the early nineteen eighties, Christmas movie still had messages about home and family and to goetherness and redemption and things like that. And again gradually even as you're looking as she starts to describe things

like that and the movies Charlie Brown Christmas and things like that. And there's a strong current, as I pointed out before, of nostalgia throughout Christmas music. And there's nothing wrong with that, and there's nothing wrong with having a good time, and there's nothing wrong with any of this stuff. Per se until that becomes the thing, until that becomes the only thing, she said.

I noticed in the nineteen eighties, when I was a young college and graduate student, the Christmas still carried that high elevating energy, that sacred quality. But over time I felt the Christmas spirit eroding and dying down. I noticed that the pop culture was adding a whole new cast of personalities to Christmas, exalting them while dialing down others pea Nuts. The cartoon series had been openly spiritually oriented in its treatment of the season. A Charlie Brown Christmas that

debuted in nineteen sixty five. Remember, they talk about all the current stuff and anything, but at the core of it, they get down to Lionis saying, well, I'll tell you what Christmas is about Charlie Brown. He reads the account from Luke, but she said. In the nineteen eighties, as it unfolded, Peanuts became less and less culturally central, replaced by Doctor Seuss's Grinch who Stole Christmas nineteen sixty six. That was a fairly new character,

but it started to get more and more tractions, he said. And then when you looked at what the lyrics were about, she said, you know the carol that they sing in whovill it says almost sounds like it's Latin fa who fores daho dorez welcome all who's far and near, Welcome Christmas. Fa who ramas Welcome Christmas, dahoo damas. She says, Well, that's

sweet. It doesn't have any discernible meaning. What about Rudolph and Red Nose Rain there That'd been a minor character launched in nineteen thirty nine in a song, but now it became the central and super important character, you know, along with Elves and expanding at eighteen twenty three poem The Night before Christmas. All this was building, and a lot of this was done again through the music, as the music became increasingly either nostalgic or focused on Santa and Elves

and Rudolph, all these characters in side. Narratives are fun, but they're not actually about Christmas, about the birth of the christ child, she says. And then in nineteen eighty nine, an important lawsuit deconstructed Christmas and Hanukkah for that matter, in America. It was a lawsuit the County of Allegheny versus the ACLU, according to that organization's website, and they're very proud of that. Two public sponsored holiday displays in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, were challenged by

the ACLU. The first display involved a Christian Nativity scene inside the Allegheny County Courthouse. The second display was a large Hankkah menora erected each year by the Shabbad Jewish organization outside the city county building. The ASLU claimed that both displays constituted state endorsement of a religion, and the case was decided together with well both of these different ones. They had two aspects of it, the manora

aspect and the nativitous Nativity scene. She said. I was surprised to read this because in the yawning ever hungry abyss, where national memories that don't fit the narrative go to die. The fact that the ACLU took aim at this famous case against the display of a public manora, as well as against a public Christian crash, has been utterly lost to history. Those who want to share their Nativity scenes openly in public with their neighbors are depicted in this narrative

as thug like Christian white supremacists. Has been entirely erased from American history. That the people of Alleghany got in trouble with the ACLU for inviting their Jewish neighbors to share with a larger community the joy, the pride, and the symbolism of their minority religion Hanukkah. Indeed, this case that changed America is an odd one, as weirdly decided, she says as Roe v. Wade.

According to the ACLU, the central question of the case was whether or not the two displays, one remember was Christian and one was Jewish, whether these two displays violated the Establishment clause of the First Amendment. Court said that one symbol did and one did not. Isn't it interesting? In a five to four decision, the court held the Nativity scene inside the courthouse unmistakably endorsed

Christianity and violation of the Establishment clause. It had on it glory to God for the birth of Jesus Christ. The county, they said, sent a clear message with that that it supported and promoted Christian orthodoxy. Six of the justices concluded that the display involving the minora was constitutionally legitimate given its particular physical setting. She says, as a Jew, I find the reasoning in Allegheny

versus the ASLU to be odd. How is it that a manora outside the courthouse is not establishing a religion, but an activity scene inside the courthouse is Why not move both of them outside the courthouse and invite other religious displays. Well, here's the thing, you know, and she does get this. There is a difference between establishment and exercise. And this is how they got it wrong. They equate the two, and the ASLU has done this over

and over again. Free exercise religion is not establishment. We've had this victory in that case. As a matter of fact, half shirt lift with they had a place where anybody could fly a flag and a regulation for that. He decided he would fly a Christian flag, and they said, no, you can't do it. Once they found out they approved it, and then once once he said, well, this is a Christian flag. He said, no, then you can't put it up. He took it to the

Supreme courtin he won and said, that's viewpoint discrimination. You're not endorsing this religion. You're just giving him access to the same stuff that everybody else has. And so it's starting our understanding of this. It's starting to turn around. But it all hinges really on understanding that to allow people to freely exercise the religion, like the coach who after the game would go to the fifty

yard line and kneel and silently pray. Allowing people to exercise the religion even if it is on some sacred government property which they think is sacred, that is not an establishment, she says. Is it China that is at war with our religious freedom, our freedom to worship? Is it China? Are they our enemies? Or is it I don't know, Maybe you know the American government as we met the enemy and they us, or more accurately, they as us, she said. I would say the people of Alleghany actually

had it mostly right. She said. Paradoxically, the people of Alleghany's openness to America's multiple free and open expression of worship is exactly what the Establishment Clause is meant to protect. Our constitution does not say anywhere, and certainly not in the Establishment Clause, that we have to hide symbols of our various religious expressions. It says just the opposite. And you know, you see these

groups that push this. Now, it's not just the ASL. You've got a lot of groups that decided that they can make a lot of money doing this, and they do it. They make a lot of money with their lawsuits. There's one organization called the Freedom from Religion, and you see them all over the place. But that's not what the First Amendment says. The First Amendment says, the freedom of religion makes all the difference in the world.

It's like the difference between a song that says away in the Manger and a song that says away with the manger. It is freedom of religion, not from religion. And they want to put religion in the closet. They want to banish it entirely. She said. I remember the media coverage of this case. Newsweeklies reported it as if thank God, the ACLU has finally

saved America from being ravished by screaming Bible thumpers. There was a little questioning of what this decision would do to us, or even if it was a correct interpretation by the court. So overnight, she said, it seemed to me people reacted understandably enough. By scrubbing the religious expressions of the holidays. The playlists in Christmas time changed. All the religious carols vanished like melted snow. In came poppy, bouncy tunes that have become quote unquote classics, but

they are also not actually about Christmas. Things like Baby It's Cold Outside made a big comeback from nineteen forty four I saw Mama Kissing Santa Claus or Now

We've Got as the number one hit. Rocking Round the Christmas Tree took at sixty five years, I think to get to number one, but finally got there for Brenda Lee, written by the Way by the same ten Panelley songwriter that wrote Rudolph Red Nose Reindeer or you Got All I Want for Christmas is Jesus, No, it's you, It's you, all right, Carriously The nineteen fifty seven jingle bell Rock by the Way, also written by the same

songwriter who wrote Rocking Around the Christmas Tree or Rudolph Red Nose reindeer. So that's about dancing, right, So you've got Jack Frost nipping at your nose, a Christmas song, all these things winter nostalgia, some of them about family, a lot of them about reindeer and elves and Santa and everything, but again moving Christ out of it. And so The Daily Mail reported in

twenty twenty that half of Britain's schools had canceled Nativity plays. Surely the breaking of the chain of memory among generations of British school children, this breaking of the chain between generations of children, was one goal of the Trump lockdowns. And she doesn't put Trump in there. I always put Trump in there with the lockdowns because that was his policy. Well, it wasn't his policy. It was the World Economic Forum and the UN's policy, but he executed for

them. She said. This is a point that I made generally in my book The Bodies of Others. She said alarmingly, when I searched Daily Mail and Nativity plays no more, I saw stories about schools banning Nativity plays or barring parents from attending their own children's Nativity plays. Go back to twenty twelve. That's when they started doing this stuff. Twenty necessarily just picked up there.

So there was a drumbeat of escalation in recent years. This is the drip, drip, drip of water intentionally set to slowly boil of deliberate cultural change. You do it from the inside, You do it chaos, and you do it iteratively. It's about you said, so, of course you know where this is going. Because Marxists do not like families, just as they don't like religion. Schools in England now ban parents from attending their own

children's Nativity plays due to colds flues and supposedly COVID. The state has finally taken your child and taken away Christmas. So what else debut? By the twenty eighteens, you had a range of new Christmas movies that depicted cherished Christmas symbols as tawdry, drunk, or sexually licentious, such as the twenty fourteen film Bad Santa with Billy Bob Thornton. And she's got a picture of that

there in the article of Billy Bob Thornton. The and the picture that she put up was for their unrated version that they put out there is twenty twenty two's It's a Wonderful Binge A send up of Christmas classics, but in this holiday movie, Saint Nick is inebriated and the setting is the world in which all alcohol is banned. So Christmas represents the one time to binge on intoxicants. Isn't that great? Well, you know, have you had enough think

about this? Think about what you can do to cultivate things that are good, things that are pure with your family. Think about what you can do to cultivate their relationship with Christ. You know, because liberty and family are great, and we've got a lot of songs and traditions and movies that celebrate those things. But those are simple the blessings, and we don't want to

grab just the gift and forget the giver. We don't want to look at the trappings of the blessings that God has given us and forget the source of those blessings. And that's one of the reasons why this is happening. You know. Culture is downstream from religion, and religion is downstream from your relationship with God. That's where it really starts. So reflect on those blessings that we've lost and see if we can't turn this thing around, at least for

yourself and for your family. You know. One of the things that I like to play every year is something from it. It looks like it was a small, small family production company called Shark Bite Productions. I just came across it a few years ago and I used to I've been playing it, you know, when I was at INFO Wars, playing it every year with this show as well. I looked to see if I could find them anywhere, and they seem to have gone out of business, even though the video

is still there on YouTube. They said when they put it together, and again there was an older guy who they did a video talking about their production company. And so they had some young kids and it's kind of some of the stuff that we used to do with our family. And they had an

older guy and he had worked with the state of Bobby Darren. That's why they call it Shark Bite Productions. And he was putting together a lot of archives for their stuff and managing it for them, and they decided that they wanted to do this kind of a nostalgic production and feature Bobby Darren's song Christmas Old Aying Sign, and they gave him the permission to do that. And so even though the production company, the family is no longer around. Evidently,

at least we still have the video. This is what it looks like and has read you all the different things that Naomi Wolf was talking about that she enjoyed. This is the family of the nostalgia that they really did a great job of capturing in this video. Thankies and gentlemen. Here is Bobby

Darren when Missiletoe and Timsulow painted time valent back home My go hellos. I know for Christmas, Ohli and us we gather on the tree are choice is all a combine in sweet Accord, the Lord for a Christmas Old, Langzig and the chant as well each new joy. We share the joy Christmas too, Langsi. We say his praise, stay of days and pray next years will be need to share the cheat of a Christmas old. Lying on Merry Christmas everybody, and a happy New Year. Sweet Locord. We had the

Lord for Christstmas. For Lis. You're listening to the David Knight Show. Oh that's really nice on rock find Christy Ripperger says thank you for the tip, says Merry Christmas to the Night family and the Chat family. I live close to Lake Square Mall and would like to see Catherine. The website doesn't show her in upcoming events and the info for the future concerts to be appreciated. Well, hopefully her parents hear this and maybe they can tell us about

that. Let's uh yeah, people are talking about how difficult housing has become and how expensive it has become. You got babelm Bee's this gingerbread house in California listed on Zillo for one point nine million dollars. It's very much like the house I was describing the other day back in the eighties. I was

one hundred at one and a half million or something like that. Thisston built gingerbread house, as they describe it on Zilo, is truly one of a kind, featuring frosted windows, well established icing trees, and gum drop roofline. You will feel the upscale nature of the gingerbread home from the moment you see it. Welcome to your next home. Sources report that over a dozen

offers have already been made, including from local newlyweds. And we've been desperately waiting for a more affordable home to come on the market, he said. But we're still trying to negotiate a couple of things, like you know, cleaning up the icing drips on the windows cells. But this is the best option that we've seen in LA for years. One point nine million dollars gingerbread house. And then there's this article from zero Hedge rocking round the plastic tree.

This is another one of the traditions that seems to have gone by the wayside. You know, it used to be that was something that even when I lived in Tampa that was you know, as hot as it was there. We would get Christmas trees, real Christmas trees every year here and that

was a big part of it. We always enjoyed. It's a big part of a lot of the Christmas movies, you know, like Christmas Vacation or Christmas Story going to Christmas tree lots or in the extreme case for comedy the I think some people would go out to the Christmas tree farms and get it. But you know, Christmas Vacation around here, you know, it looked last year because I thought it'd be nice to get something that because I love

the way they smell. But I didn't see anywhere around here where there was on them. I guess there is somewhere. We used to get them from Western North Carolina. That's where they used to bring them down from to Tampa. And it was always we go around our thing in Florida because it was always so hot. You'd make the people, the guy who's showing you around trying to tell you the Christmas tree would have to open the thing up and bang it the trunk on the ground and see if all the needles would stay

on. That was if it was not dead yet, and that was a prerequisite to actually buying the thing. But yeah, Karen and I are our first first house, our first Christmas tree. We both wanted it really badly, and it was super expensive for us in Houston. But we got this big tall tree because we had a We had a small house. It was probably about thirteen hundred square feet or fourteen. It was just the two of us, and it had a vaulted ceiling in the in the living room.

But the living room was very small in spite of the fact that it had a twenty foot ceiling. But you know, we looked at this thing, it's like, oh, we got a twenty foots so we can get a really tall tree. We got a really tall tree, really tall tree that we could not have fit in the houses of our parents and so. But when we opened it up, even though it wasn't a really fat tree, it filled up the entire room and we could cannot set in our couch or

the It just opens up into everything. It was a joke. Everybody was laughing at us when they came over to the house. Couldn't see the TV set. It was crazy. And of course by the time we took it down, it didn't have a single needle left on it. And I had to cut that thing up with a chainsaw in the living room to get it

out of the house because the limbs then were very, very stiff. But right now, you know, it looks like and again I don't see any evidence of Christmas tree lots around here, So most people are going plastic now fitting epithet, Isn't it that not to say that the you know, the plastic trees are fine, but it is something that has gone away. And

then of course there's the tradition of the nutcracker. Jeffrey Tucker at Brownstone wrote an op ed piece about this, about the nutcracker, And you know, it is at the same time that it is something of a tradition, like the music and I've got a couple of songs from The Nutcracker in the album that I put in, you know, the the Russian Dance that I modified, and then the the Sugar Pump Ferry, which I just basically did it the way it was done and did abbreviated version of it. But I liked

what this a cappella group, Straight No Chaser did about the Nutcracker. Uh, they did a parody of it. From a man's perspective about how much he dreads the annual occurrence of this ballet. Here's a little bit of what they did, raise christside. But there's one lousy traugy. There's a certain us g is trying to find out. I'm watching the game, but some things wrong, said my wife the song I know that look must be me. It's not Lauren p serving no clue. What did I do? She

sounds a disbelief. What. Yeah, that's Uh. That pretty much sums it up from our perspective. Yeah, I like the music so much, and occasionally, you know, you forget just how cringey ballets are. When we first Christmas, after we brought our daughter back, we took her to build a bear and let her build a bear and got her all dressed up, and we got all dressed up, and Karen and I, because the boys knew better than to go do better than me to go to the Nutcracker.

And we took her to the Nutcracker. And she's looking at it like this place is really strange. Even she thought it was really strange. But Jeffrey Tucker, in terms of talking about he says, this most implausible American tradition. You can imagine bringing Russia straight to your hometown along with the men in tights. It's no wonder why the music is brilliant, elegant, and

vaguely familiar to everyone. It's now out of copyright. The melodies are filled with magic, fantasy, mystery, love, strange sounds, and you never otherwise that you never otherwise hear in an unrelenting spectacle. No matter how classical Old World ballet is, it never ceases to amaze us to watch this highly specialized combination of athleticism and art and action. Well he lost me there, but you know, I do like the music anyway, he says. But

think about this. This ballet debuted in eighteen ninety two. The generation of Russians living in Saint Petersburg that saw it for the first time, was experiencing a level of prosperity that had never before been seen in history. And it was the same all over Europe, of which Russia was then considered be a part. This was a time of the full maturation of the Industrial Revolution. Income was growing and growing dramatically. Lives were longer infant. Mortality he was

plummeting. The middle class could live in security and in comfortable homes. The practical arts, and then things like electricity, lighting, telephones, universal medicine, indoor plumbing. These were in a boom phase. And so he says, you see hints of all these things in the opening scenes of The Nutcracker. You're in a home with beautifully lit tree, the several generations of extended family, which we don't have anymore. For the most part, we got

the nuclear family, but not the extended family. They're celebrating the great season with abundant gifts and symbols of abundance. Think of the person of the Nutcracker himself. He's a soldier, but not a killer. He's not a person who's destined for being maimed and killed or for slaughtering others. A soldier in those days was a symbol of the nation, a protector, a well dressed

person of discipline and dignity who made the peace possible. He was an extension of regular society, someone who was performing a light duty, deserving of extra respect. Well, he really nailed it there, Jeffrey Tucker, really nailed it there. Think about that. A time began to emerge though that has haunted me ever since. A theme brother began to emerge. He says, what will these works that we see in the done in the eighteen hundreds, what do they all have in common? He says, once you see it,

you can't unsee it. In literature, he said, none of these writers, and this goes for Tchaikowski himself could have imagined the horror that was going to be unleashed. Again, going back to the First World War, he said, the killing fields, thirty eight million people ended up dead,

wounded, missing. That was unconceivable. The concept of a total war that did not exclude civilian population but rather made everyone a part of the army was not in their field of Many historians describe World War One as a calamity that no one in particular intended It was a result of states that were pushing out the boundaries of their belligerence and their power, a consequence of leaders who imagined that the more they pushed, the more they could create a globe of justice,

freedom and peace. But look at the reality, Look at the mess they made. It was not only the direct carnage, it was the ghastly possibilities that this war opened up. It inaugurated a century of central planning, statism, communism, fascism, and war. How could they have known nothing like this had ever happened. And you know, when you look at this, you have to think, are we on the cusp of something like this? I have a feeling that we are. Quite frankly, we should be

concerned about it. We should plan for should pray about it. We don't have to fear it if we are Christians. That's the thing that the gift that Christ has given to us. But think about how their society was radically altered by these wars, and think about what these people dependinggon same people who want to put their weapons facilities in Ukraine because we can never have enough weapons

being built to kill people. They're now on the path to creating autonomous killer robots, autonomous killer drones, and who knows what in terms of biological and

chemical warfare, not even to mention the nuclear warfare. And so we may be in this particular situation, this fourth turning, This is a situation where we need to be aware and we need to strengthen the foundations and the principles that are going to help us to have a an orderly, peaceful and a Christian society, because if we don't, it is all going to get swept

away in a moment, just as they did there. Well, before we run out of time, I want to play for you another tradition that we have, and that is the story about the creation of the Federal Reserve. Tony and I talked about this a little bit yesterday. It's a wonderful lie. I thought it was very interesting the connections between the creation of the Federal

Reserve. If you look at the way they engineered the banking runs and other things like that to create the Federal Reserve, and the way the villain who they patterned after JP Morgan in the story, the way he tries to engineer runs to drive his competitor out of business. And so I talked about that as I've mentioned before when I did this ten years ago, the one hundredth anniversary of what they pushed together on that December the twenty third tomorrow will be

the one hundred and tenth anniversary of that. As many people who who were opposing it, who did not want it, were out, they snuck that thing in and the Federal Reserve has been sneaking things to our detriment ever since. Again, one of the ways that you can prepare for the machinations and the deprivations of the Fiat currency. The David night Gold will take you to Tony Ardaban's wives Wolf Gold and we really do appreciate Tony's support and friendship.

Then he'll be here next next week some along with Guard Goldsmith. But here's the first thing that ever got censored by on info Wars. It was in twenty thirteen and didn't get any more censorship until twenty eighteen where they purged everything. But here's why they didn't want you to think about with the Federal Reserve for some reason on YouTube. Over the last one hundred years, the Federal Reserve has created bubbles and burst them, enslaved us with debt, and destroyed

our purchasing power through inflation. Yes, it's been a wonderful lie for the bakers. Ranking parallels and Frank Capra's It's a wonderful life to the lies and tricks that real bankers used to create the Federal Reserve. Human nature doesn't change, and the greedy elite of nineteen thirteen in twenty thirteen look and act a lot like Potter the banker in the movie. And many Americans are left like George Bailey, staring into the abyss as their dreams collapse and they face financial

room. Do we live in a country that looks a lot more like Pottersville than Bedford Falls? What does Frank Capra's film show us about how we got here and how we can get out? When the Federal Reserve was created two days before Christmas one hundred years ago, it was a culmination of six years of fraud, fear, and manipulation. I've never really seen one, but that's got all the air marks of being a run. The Panic of nineteen

oh seven was used to shape public support for the FED. The panic was triggered by rumors that two major banks were about to become insolvent, just as we see in the movie. George, there is a room around town that you've close your doors. Is that true? I am going all out to help in this crisis. I have just guaranteed the bank sufficient funds to meet their needs. They will close up for a week and then reopen. Just took over the bank. I may lose a fortune, but I am willing

to guarantee your people too. Just tell them to bring their shares over here and I will pay fifty cents on the dollar. Are you never miss a track? Do your potter? Unfortunately, JP Morgan got away with the deception and was able to shut down competitors and snapped up assets at fire cell prices. Take during the depression, for instance, you and I were the only ones that kept our heads. You saved the building loan, I saved all the rest. Yes, well, most people say you stole all the rest.

The envious ones say that George the size Charles Lindberg Senior warned people at the time of the creation of the Federal Reserve that it would not stop booming by cycles, but would actually create them to benefit its private owners. Here's what he said. To cause high prices, all the Federal Reserve Board will do will be to lower the rediscount rate, producing an expansion of credit and a rising stock market. Then when businessmen are adjusted to these conditions, it

can check prosperity in mid career by arbitrarily raising the rate of interest. It can cause a pendulum of rising and falling market to swing gently back and forth, or cause violent fluctuations by a greater rate variation, And in either case it will possess inside information as to the financial conditions and advance knowledge of the coming change, either up or down. This is the strangest, most dangerous advantage ever placed in the hands of a special privileged class by any government that

ever existed. The system is private, conducted for the sole purpose of obtaining the greatest possible profits from the use of other people's money. They know in advance when to create panics to their advantage, and they know when to stop panic. Inflation and deflation work equally well for them when they control the finance. As we see in the movie, all lending institutions have the same motivations. Now you take this loan. He is erny bishop. You know that

fella that sits around all day on his brains and his taxi. You know I happen to know. The bank turned down this loan. But he comes here and we're building him a house worth five thousand dollars. What well I handled that much? Potter? You have all the papers, There is salary insurance. I can personally vouch for his character. Friends of you, Yes, you see, if you shoot pool with some employee here, you can come and borrow money. What does that get us? A discontented, lazy

rabble instead of a thrifty working class. As a former fdiic chair said, all too often the large bank shoes their models and their algorithms, and if you don't fit in their boxes, you don't get the loan. And God frank legislation is tying the hands of small lenders, shutting out buyers and shutting down lenders. Today there are fewer lenders than at any time the government has kept records. Ten thousand banks disappeared between nineteen eighty four and twenty eleven.

This town needs this measly one worse institution, if only to have someplace where people can come without crawling the Potter Tomorrow, in the movie, George gets to see what happens to the small town if Potter didn't have competition from credit unions and smaller lenders. If it hadn't been for you, Yeah, it hadn't been for me, everybody would be a lot better off. My wife and my kids and my friends are look a little fellow. Why you go

out and haunt somebody else? Yeah? So you still think killing yourself would make everyone feel happier? Eh Oh, I don't know. I guess you're right. Suppose been butter if I've never been born at all? Pottersville the only business is thriving are vice people are angry. The town is filled with signs like keep moving, keep off the grass. Bert the cop actually shoots at George when he's running away, and is no threat to anyone. Everyone

is a renter. No one has a steak. Now you're any bishop and you live in Bailey Park with your wife and kid, bood blud, what's the idea? I live in a shack and Potterish feel. My wife ran away three years ago and took the kid, and I had never seen you before in my life. See private property and everyone having a steak is the antidote to Pottersville. Here, you're all business man here, go to make

them better. Citizen doesn't make them better customers. But whether it's the Transpacific Partnership or a global carbon tax, the global elite don't see you as a stakeholder. They want to turn us all into serfs and treat us like cattle. Just remember this, mister Potter, that this rabble you're talking about, they do most of the working and paying and living and dying in this community. Well is it too much to have them work and pay and live and

die in a couple of decent rooms in a bath anyway? My father didn't think so. People were human beings to him. But to you, a warp frustrated old man, their cattle. Well, in my book he died a much richer mount than your order. For I'm not interested in your book. I'm talking about the building and loan. I know very well what you're talking about. You were talking about something you can't get your fingers on.

Speaking of riches, do you find the salary amounts amusing? When Potter tries to buy George off, look at your side, young man twenty seven, twenty eight married, making me say forty a week, forty five, forty five, forty five, George, I'll start you out at twenty thousand dollars a year. Twenty thousand dollars a year, you wouldn't mind living in the nicest house in town, buying your wife a lot of fine clothes, a couple of business trips in New York year, maybe once in a while Europe.

You wouldn't mind that? Would you do? Would I? Even if George had saved a lot of his twenty thousand dollars salary, would it have bought much A couple of decades later, By even the government's very conservative estimate of inflation, the dollar has lost ninety percent of its value since nineteen forty seven, when the movie was made. The Fed's deliberate inflation is devastating to anyone trying to accumulate wealth through hard work and saving. So what is the

answer to all the George Bailey's out there? One hundred years after the government gave control of our money supply to private bankers like Potter. Well, Potter had more money than he could spend. But would any of you want to be Potter? You sit around here and you spend your little webs, and you think the whole world revolved around you and your money. Well it doesn't, mister Potter, in the whole vast configuration of things, I'd say you

were nothing but a scurvy little spider. George Bailey finally sees how rich his own life is as he sees the fruits of relationship, honesty, and compassion. I beat you here, to you in jail, going home. They're waiting for you. And if the public can awaken to the lives of the reserve, if it could even be audited, Wow, it would be a huge step to breaking the change that enslave all of us. But ultimately it is God that change his minds and change his heart. God hates oppression and

we can and should confidently pray that he will stop it. I owe everything to George Bailey. Help him. Dear Father, Joseph, Jesus and Mary, help my friend mister Bailey, Help my son George tonight. He never thinks about himself. God, that's why he's in trouble. George is a good guy. Give him a break. God, I love him. Dear Lord, want your room tonight, please God. He's there with Daddy.

Please. Gay. I'm not a praying man. If you're up there and you can hear me, Well, that was ten years ago on the one hundredth anniversary of the Federal Reserve. Now there are one hundred and ten years old. All the problems that we talked about have now gotten worse. As a matter of fact, the censorship has now gotten worse. As I said, they claimed they took the video down because they claimed a copyright infringement. But of course where did I get those few clips that I used protected under

fair use? I got them from the full movie that had been up for a decade out a million views at the time, for free. This is before they paid anybody for anything, before they ran the ads. But of course I had their number, didn't I had the number of these people on what the system was there, and of course they got my number as well. They censored me. Now I can't even put up Christmas songs. My Christmas album got taken down. They banned me instantly. But that's fine.

I really do appreciate the people who have stood with us. They cannot tell you how grateful we comment here from Little John who says this goes out to Karen because she's from New York. The Yule log on TV. I think it was Channel eleven. I don't know what channel it was, but I know that Karen has mentioned this in the past to me, so I know that you will remember that. And on Rock Fan Andromeda, thank you very much for the tip. Merry Christmas, they say, well, Merry Christmas

to all of you. And again, since we are taking the week off next week and have a happy new Year. We hope that this new year will be happy. And maybe that's not the right word. Maybe we need to use the word a joyful new year. Happiness is dependent on circumstances, and none of us know what the circumstances are going to be. But if we have a connection to Christ, the reason for this season, then we can have joy even under the worst of circumstances. So I'm going to close

and we'll go out with another favorite of mine. They just play just a little bit of it, Kenny Rodgers. Till the season comes round again, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year's to you all. May the new year be blessed with good tidings till the next time I see you again, And we'll all join hands and remember this moment and we'll love and we'll live in the time that we have till the season comes round again. If we must say good man, let the spirit go with you till the season comes round again.
