You're talking about, well, how would you secure things around your home? What would you look for? I mean, we look at this and it's like, Okay, obviously you're going to put somebody there on the roof, or you're going to have that cordoned off or something like that. But then there's a lot of other things that are not so obvious, and how do you execute these things? What do you look for, how do you plan
for this, and how do you execute it? That's really what you're trying to explain to people in order to protect their home, not to protect a president or somebody like that, but just to protect your home, the common sense types of things and real practical examples of how to be able to do it on your own. Right. Yeah, well, my neighborhood group should have been providing a security for Trump because we do a better job. I mean, we literally have that type of thing, people on roofs, according
off areas, and it's a cooperative effort. And I tell people how to do this from a military standpoint, non military terms, which is important because you get into a lot of people that are telling you how to protect this or that. They they you think they're talking a bunch of recruits in Basic training that have been through basic training has some ideas. It has to be in layman terms, and I've got the A to Z in there. People get involved in. Go to Civil Defensemanual dot com and look at the what
is included in this book. They'll be astounded because it virtually gives the A to z of not only how to prepare, but how to survive if you follow what's going on in the book. Well, joining us now is Jack Lawson, who is put together these two volumes of Civil Defense Manual, which you can find at Civil Defensemanual dot com. Subtitled how to Prepare and to
Protect your Neighborhood from Disaster, riot and Civil Unrest. We might be at any time looking at any of that stuff, so we want to prepare for the worst case. It used to be people make fun of preppers. No more. And he has amazing information in here. Again you can find it at Civil Defensemanual dot com. It was written by special ops soldiers and contributing author experts. And joining us now is Jack Lawson. Thank you for joining us, Good to talk to you again, Good to hear you again.
David Well, thank you. Thanks let me on your show. Well and it's a good time for you to come on because this last week we've had some really crazy violence that happened you six days ago. What's your take on all of this shooting that happened up in Butler, Pennsylvania. Well, I'm like everybody, I've got my opinions. I like to say, I'd like to give people a little bit of my background. I probably am a little more qualified than some people to speak about this. I was in the United
States Air Force. I was an electronics person, had a lot of advanced electronics training to the point to where I was a guidance specialist and I armed
and disarmed the nuclear weapon on the missile I worked on. Then after that, the first thing you've got to do is go from arming nuclear weapons to jumping out of airplanes at two in the morning with forty pounds explosives on over some country in Africa you can't spell the name of I was in a Foreign Legion rapid response anti terrorist unit and it was in a nasty war in Africa. I published four books and a number of essays in addition to that.
Well, the bottom line my website is thus civil Defense for the Civil Defense Manual is Civil Defense Manual, a lot of free information on there. People can get overview of the book. I do not sell the Civil Defense Manual on Amazon. Going back to the assassination and I'm just let me end you know. You point out you've got some free chapters there, one of them on water, which is the key thing, and people can see the chapter on water, and that gives people a good idea of how in depth and
how practical your knowledge is. Then you have another one about surviving nuclear or fallout if you're not in the main blast area. Both of those are free. People can get a good idea of the quality of the book. And I've had a lot of people who have written me who got the book talking about how they thought it was worth ten times the price that they've paid for.
So and you have a lot of people besides your experience. You got a lot of people who were Special Forces soldiers talking about things in their area of expertise as well. So great resources. But again, I'm sorry, I didn't want to didn't mean to interrupt you there. You were just to talk about what was happening. I'm not so egotistical that I think I know everything when I don't know something I bring guys like Jerry Emmanuelsson into. Jerry
Emmanuelson is probably one of the foremost experts on electromagnetic pulse events. I have Navy former Navy Seal officer Matthew Bracken, a fantastic author Enemies foreign and domestic. He's written my chapter on He's written a couple chapters for me, one on night fighting without all of these fancy optics. In other words, how to conduct a defense of your home in the middle of the night without having the optics to be able to see at night. So I put those kind
of people in. But going back to this assassination, I was never a sniper. I was our battalion marksman winter at one time, and I do know a lot about ballistics. I do know a lot about silenced weapons. I've used all of that stuff. We used it on raids on camps in neighboring countries that were harboring communist terrorists. Long and short of the thing is, it's difficult now to see whether it's incompetence with the government or or a
deliberate action. It's hard to define the difference. The fact that this woman couldn't the Secret Service agent could not bolster her weapon is absolutely beyond me. A true professional knows that, just like he knows where his finger is. It's incredible. I sat on one of the largest police boards in the United States or seven years, and I've been involved with issues regarding gender. There are women out there that could literally kick any guys, but they can fly
a helicopter into places that maybe a guy wouldn't go into. But generally speaking, that's a very small percentage one two three percent. Women by biology are different in the aspect of most of them don't have the strength or stamina that the male shows. Ask any of the cops that I used to ride around with after they got to know you and knew it wasn't going to come back on them, they will tell you they did not want to have a female partner. Case in point, one of my friends was a lieutenant, went
to domestic dispute. His one hundred and five pound partner got punched out. He's about six foot two hundred pounds. The guy that went crazy on him at this domestic dispute slammed them down against the foundation of the house and ruptured three of his vertebrae. Wow, just as that was happening. Of course, a backup came around. They went in because they heard what they thought
was going to be a violent situation to the woman in the house. So the point being this, and I knew good women that were very on the police force, that were very, very capable. It's just that the majority of them, guys don't want to be hooked up with them. They do not seem to have the ability to do the job. And I'm not talking down at women like I say, there's good ones out there, but the
majority of them, they're lowering the standards to accept them into everything. When you see the commander of a Ranger battalion qualification course carrying the pack of a woman one of the first graduates of ranger, what's that? You know? This whole thing is political getting to push to the point to where they can't You're getting people can't find their holster. Next thing, they won't be able
to know where they're gone at. Well, that's what I think. The best explanation of that acronym was didn't earn it, you know, And so you know we have and you know this used to be this is a narrative that was being sold by Hollywood and everything is being sold by media going back into the seventies, the Bobby Riggs and Billy Jean king that you know, anything you can do, I can do better, that type of thing.
But it's not the case. And we've had that proven to us over and over and over again by these trainees who want to compete in women's sports. These are guys who can't even qualify in male competition and they're wiping out all the competition on the female side. And this has happened over and over again in all these different sports. There is a real physical difference and they want
to pretend that that doesn't exist there. And when you get into a combat situation like you're describing in that domestic dispute, you know there isn't anybody there too. You know this is You're not talking about some kind of political agenda anymore. This is about people's lives. Yeah, a man is going to have a maternal instinct to save a woman. My son told me this. He's in combat in Iraq and no women in the Marine Corps that time.
This is two thousand and three. But he said that they knew it was coming in and they were just very guys, didn't like the idea of it, not because they're guys, but because they don't want disruption of the function of the whether it's a company or like his gout sniper unit. They don't want the disruption of a woman in there. And I'm not going to go into all that, but go back to the same Trump. I just talked to his a guy who was a security director for him, who's a friend
of mine. I talked to him every couple of weeks, and he said that, And I don't think this guy is that extremely religious. He said this was divine intervention. There's no two ways about it. And I told him, I said, my god, I said, you sound like you're going to church again. He said, I believe he is, you know, religious in a sense. But he said, he said, that's probably going to MacDonald a little bit more reluctant to act off the cough. That's
a very serious thing outside of Trump probably losing his hearing. In that here you get a crack, a super tiny crack of a bullet that I had a friend in Africa who lost all of his hearing on one hear just from a ball coming within an inch of his ear. Really yeah, And to talk about that. That's kind of interesting that hasn't been any talk about that today. It was like a bee buzzing or something like that, or it's born a bee buzzing. They I've had them snapping around my head and it's
a definite thing. And they talk about you can hear the gun report after you hear the crack. Well, I'll just tell you this combat and this situation with Trump, everything is so fluid and there's so much confusion in combat. People think it's like the movies that you can see where things are coming from. Everybody's totally confused. It is the best thing you to try to take some cover and keep from getting yourself shot, but you can eventually locate
where your shooter's coming from. But I'm astounded that if he hadn't had I can't remember whether Senator Ron Johnson had a immigration chart he'd given him and Trump at Trump at that very moment he turned his head about two inches to the left, is when that bullet would have gone right in his right eye, would have taken his brains out. But the long and shortest thing is I
think God had a hand in it. Whether it's going to be for the future of this country, or just Donald Trump living and being able to go
on doing what he's doing. It just blows me away. People must realize at one thousand yards, if you fire something like a three to eight, which is a heavier bullet than I believe this guy is firing, and it's got about roughly the same ballistic you're looking at up to a second and three quarters one in three quarter second before that bullet leaves a muzzle to where it
hits the target, So you have to lead your target. In other words, of the gunman had his target as Donald Trump's head right square in the middle of his crossairs, and he pulled the trigger, it would have probably been somewhere around a third to a half a second that Trump would have had to stay there or that bullet to impact the center of his face or center of his skull, and he didn't. So tell me, I don't believe this kid was the only shooter. During the jfk assassination. You had the
famous Magruder film and you had a couple of photographs. Now everybody records everything on their phone, so I think you're going to start seeing a lot of information coming together, And the bottom line of it is I think it's going to show that there was somebody else there. There was another s. I believe there's a professional there. Yeah, I think this kid it was just a dumb patsy who was led along apparently very fanatical about his beliefs. But
so there's going to be things coming out. Yeah, yeah, I agree with you. And of course I don't know if you saw or not. Now Congressman Corey Mills, I think he's just just put in in twenty twenty
three one election twenty twenty two. He was a former special Forces guy, but he had something to do with security and his private consultation consultant job, and so he was talking about all the different things that failed in terms of, you know, protecting the perimeter, identifying places where there was risk and
anything. But I think the first thing I showed on Monday was that shot of those guys who were on the roof, and how he seemed to take his eye off of the off of the spotter thing there and be kind of slow to respond. It was I think it's somebody else in those that team that was there on the closest roof to Trump. I think it was somebody that was much further way, they said like four hundred four God, you mean they're on a slope roof that's very dangerous. We thought about that as
well. Yeah, what did Joe the counter snipers were on? It was about twice the slope is the one that kid was on? Yeah? Yeah, but isn't it? I mean, do you find that interesting? The counter snipers it seemed like they had him in their sights and didn't do anything till they never told to stand out this whole thing. You know, if people can't realize that, you know, they they if they think that government is there to do them service, then I think they've probably failed history class
and they should go back to school. It's just it's unbelievable that this. There's another thing that just amazes me. There's a course founded out there by the name of Michael Yahn who puts this. He's a photographer too, for more Special Forces. Yeah, I've interviewed. I've been Michael. Why yeah, why is uh? Why is there a CNN photographer right in front of Trump with his camera setting on his shutter speed on one eight thousandth of a
second. That's about the highest you go to get high resolution literally a slow motion progression of shots, and why was his camera set? This guy was an absolutely a known photographer that would never have done that. He had his camera set at a shutter speed that if that bullet would have hit Trump, he would have had a picture literally for fifty shots of Trump's brain matter going out the back of his skull. You know, it just blows me away
that I think there was a profession there. But Trump, I'd like to go gambling with him. Guy is lucky, there are no two ways about it. Well he's lucky with that. He wasn't lucky when he had casinos he lost six of them. I don't go to business person he is. I think he probably is pretty darn good. He's got a lot of publicity out. But like he says, you know, it's not what's what you have, it's how you market it, you know. So oh yeah, he's an excellent marketer, that's for sure. Oh you know, when we
look at what is coming up now the Democrats this weekend. You know, last last week they tried to take Trump out. This weekend they're trying to take Biden out, and they may do that. I mean, it is a chaotic situation. I think we're going to have a lot of chaos, a lot of unexpected stuff that's going to be happening between now and the election.
And I think it's going to happen regardless of who wins. There's going to be a lot of chaotic, unexpected things that are going to be happening in the next few years, because that's the time that we're in right now. And so yeah, but I have to say something. You know, everybody talks about food. I have a harp done that people must or food. Well. I just also have to make people realize if you're in a city and your city water supply is providing water your house, then you bloody
better be stocking up water for emergencies. And why I'm saying that is for this reason I have been trying to get information out of the area I live in. I know everybody here to speak of that. In a position of power, I can't get an answer out of them. My simple question is this, if you have a water system that's being pumped into every house and building and they don't have the chemicals to treat that water, are they going
to put the water out? I was told by a couple of people here, No, they won't, I said, why you're going to let people in the Southwest dive thirst? Well, we can't put water into a system and violate federal, state, county, and city regulations. So if we're putting on safe water out, we'd rather not put water off. I said, they're going to let people die, even if they could take the water
and boil it themselves. As far as I can get the answer, water has now become as fragile and as a disruptible delivery system as food has become. Tell me, who's got much more than seven days food in their host? Very very few people. And we've had several reports of municipal water systems
that have been hacked. And as we've seen over and over again, you know, the hacking doesn't have to be about the main thing, even if they got some ancillary system on the side, just like we saw Colonial pipeline. If they hack their accounting system, they're going to shut down, even though they could still pump oil and they could still deliver oil. If they
can't track the accounting stuff, they just shut it down. That you're pointing out, you know, if they were to do something to mess with the machinery that's going to be mixing in the chemicals to treat the water and things like that, or if they dump too much of it in or whatever, they just shut the whole thing down and they won't let anybody have any water, not even to be able to filter it with a gravity feed filter.
So that's the real issue. You know, people need to be able to get a gravity feed water filter, I guess, and identify some natural sources of water, even if it's a pond that you could go to and put through your gravity feed water filter. What you know, we no longer have water wells open bore whole water wells like my Africa. They're all over the place that's their primary water system, despite the fact they do have a city
system in most parts of the city. But the point being this is that I kind of got like a laugh out of people when I was talking to these people about it. It's like, you know, they they had one of them said, well, we've I don't think we've really even thought about that as a contingency. So what if that's what's going to go on, you better have water, and you better have food store, and we are going to have some tumultuous times power outages I think are coming within the next
couple of years. They're already all over the news about issues with cold fire plants being shut down. Nuclear plants can't handle it. Outages here and there, we've had them here. The last one we had, my wife went to the store and couldn't buy anything because they couldn't run a cat rester. So what are you supposed to do? You know, there was a pile of stuff at the counter of the checkout because they basically finally shut locked the
doors to the store. Yeah, people were going in and they couldn't pay it. So well, and you're talking about the power So what you've mentioned when you've been on before about how easy it would be not just to have an EMP, but it'd be a lot easier for somebody to come across the border and take some pot shots at a power transformer and take it out.
That'd be the simplest thing for them to do. But if we look at the long term progression of this stuff, artificial intelligence is taking so much power, it's going to be about ten percent of the capacity if they don't do anything in just a couple of years. But of course they are doing something, they're decreasing our capacity. And so you've got all these artificial intelligence companies that say, well, we're going to make our own miniature nuclear reactors and
get them online to power our stuff. They're going to have a private grid. I think that's going to basically hoard the energy for themselves. I don't think they're going to share that stuff with anybody. They'll use it for their AI to spy on us and to control us, but they're not going to share any of that stuff with us. And I'm also concerned about what they're going to do in terms of if these guys are are running this stuff on their own, are they going to be good neighbors and you know, manage
this stuff in a responsible and clean way. Are they just going to be sloppy and throw this to I wouldn't bet on that one. You know. Before we left Jack, I just got to tell you this story. Where we used to live in Texas. We didn't realize it, but the last year that we were there, Elon Musk started setting up operations for both the boring company and for SpaceX. And it wasn't very far at all from where
we lived. It was only a couple of miles. I just didn't know it was there, and he got into situations where he's just dumping stuff into the river there, and they were outraged about it and they started hitting them with fines, and he didn't care. I mean, he had so much money. He just pay the fines and keep doing it. And the same thing when it came to traffic control and other things like that, he just
violate the rules and do that. So it's like, I look at these guys who have so much money, and I think these are the guys that are going to aren't building nuclear power plants. How are they going to respond to any violations of any safety protocols or what. I won't pay the fine. Keep well what we're doing. You know, if you do get hold of do get must attention, ask him maybe come and fix my solar system. I've got one o their systems. They have the worst customer service.
I wrote letter to him three months ago. This time is going to go certified. I'm just getting tired of this costs me a lot of money. I've paid for a solar system here and well they're supposed to be maintaining this thing. But big companies, they don't care. That's right. They don't really care. They don't. Yeah, going back to this young kid that was the shooter, I think people are probably aware by now that he was kicked out of the rifle club in his high school because he was what one
guy termed as a comical shot. So, I mean, if you can't hit the broadside of a barn when you're ride next to it, you know, how are you doing to do it one hundred and seventy some yards away? Yeah, he sounds like just the kind of patsy they'd be looking for. Oh, when they've got somebody else, there's a second shooter, doesn't It's it's unfortunate. I feel sorry for what I read about the kid because I think he was bullied in high school until I learned to punch back.
I was the same thing. It did happen to me. So that's a horrible disfiguration of your mental thought process when this happens to people that are forming their character. Yeah, I look at these issues that happened. Huge purchases might have been two weeks earlier, but purchases of shorts on Trump's stock the Secret Service, I'm going to go through the list. Well, actually I
looked at that the shorts on Trump's stocks. Like I said yesterday program, yesterday's program, I said, you know, we had that happening with nine to eleven, and it was even reported widely by mainstream media. Thing really happened from it, and the people who yeah, the people who did this came back with a response and said that the SEC filing was incorrect. Well, you know, people be able to do their own investigation and see if
it was the correct number. That you know, there's other ways to detect that besides just their paperwork. So it might be a you know, it might be a clerical error. But even if it was for real, I don't expect anything to happen because nothing happened around nine to eleven. Nothing happened with the missing money of the Pentagon either. You know. No, you'd be better off watching pain dry on your wall. It'd be a better time,
better time, better spent. I'm just astounded this whole thing will be discussed seventy five years from now if we're stilling around on the planet, just as the JFK assassination was. Yeah, anybody that has fired a weapon at a watermelon and watches the JFK assassin nation to where a shot came in from the back of his head and then one went in the front. Can't deny that there there wasn't another shooter. I have read that it was a guy
from Marseille, France that was a professional hit man. He's dead now, who knows. But when you got the Secret Service, like you said earlier, they're not pulling him Trump off the stage. They've got him standing down now. They say it's been for the order was given a half hour before the shooting took place. Yeah, but it just blows me away that anybody will buy the narrative of the government when you leave a building one hundred and
seventy yards away in elevated position, totally unguarded. Blows me away. Who put the ladder against the building? Yeah? I didn't do it and somebody did though. Yeah, well it's all said, you know, and that's why I wanted to get you on because you know, we can look at all the details and everything, and to some extent it doesn't matter because they're not going to do anything with it, because it's going to be like nine
eleven. It'll be like the JFK assassination. They won't even release documents about it for decades. You know, the JFK assassination that was a sixty sixty one years ago. It's still not releasing anything about that. And so the key thing I think is for us to look at how they're going to respond to this. Are they going to do something like a Patriot Act like they did after nine to eleven. And it's also for us to make our preparations.
You know, we can't stop them from introducing a Patriot Act. We could complain about it, but it's really about our own preparation. And one of the things I like to try to explain to people is that we got to focus on our own, our own life, preparing for ourselves, because we really don't have any control over what's going to be done in Washington. You just hip the nail on the head when I talk about that Patriot Act. My son was on a Marine Corps amphibious ships sailing around the middle of
the Indian Ocean waiting to go into a rock. And he is very intelligent, and he was reading about what he could read about the Patriot Act, and I ended up talking to him on the phone and I was all waved, flag waving and all this stuff. I was proud my son was in the Marines and whatnot. But I knew there was a war coming because of people I know and in the in the ABC agencies and whatnot. He said, Dad, the Patriot Act. I said, well, Jason, that
I think that's good. The he said, it's destroyed the Constitution. Dad, that was his words right there. That's right, and it's it's true. That right. But going back to this stuff, in a long distance shooting usually have a windage flag. I don't know this is procedure, but they had one directly behind Trump. That's a little bit odd. That's supposed to be a protocol that they don't have anything. It gives wind each elevation, because if the wind's blowing from the right, you have to point your
weapon into the wind. In other words, you have to lead the target. Very complex, But they had a flag blowing, a big flag blowing there. I don't know. Maybe the shooter's parents calling the police two hours before. Good god, I mean, you know, here from a kid that got kicked out of the rifle club because of inappropriate comments about guns and the fact that he couldn't hit anything. How does guy wander across the field
and wander around for thirty minutes. This is absolutely blows me away that there's any competence in the Secret Service on the ground over this type of thing. Yeah, I don't know. I know one thing. These people that are in control of things right now, and I'm not talking about the Bidens, but the leftist control of things, they're not going to give up very easily. No. No, they're not going to let grow power. Oh yeah.
And you look at the long term plans of this stuff. I mean the way that they set these dates up for the conventions versus the debates and everything. This next thing that's going to happen after they get Biden out. They're just going to be making this stuff up as they go along, you know. And we've seen that this last time because of the lawfair and other things like that, they didn't have any primaries, any debates on either side.
We have a true selection here, and so we're in real You think you think there's going to be another an attempt on Oh, I'm not saying that. I just think that when you look at what's going to happen in terms of they're going to shut down, they didn't even really pretend to have a primary. Uh uh, you know, for for Biden or even really for Trump, they didn't want to participate in any debates. But they're just
shutting down. They're going to shut down on their convention system, and they're going to just make the stuff up on the spur of the moment how they're going to pick the person to replace Biden. And so we're going to see a lot of crazy. These people have been planning this stuff for a long time. And again it goes back to nine to eleven. You look at nine to eleven, they two months before nine to eleven, they had their Dark Winter Germ game simulation. They did it for twenty years, and that
was really the other shoe to drop in twenty twenty. When they ran that stuff through, they practiced what they were going to do, and you know, those two things are really connected. Although you talk about the Patriot Act and shutting down our constitution, all the rest of the stuff that was, they had practiced taking it to the next step even before nine to eleven, and they're all tied together. Yeah, at some point, at some point,
it's going to have to stop. I'm hoping that Trump gets in and does what he said he's going to do, and that's get rid of three forces of these federal bureaucrats. This thing's totally out of control. When you've got billions of dollars going into church is where they don't even have to pass
the offering tree around anymore. There's something wrong when that money is coming from American taxpayers and going God only knows how they goes by slow camel through Turkey or someplace, but eventually comes back into a church, church's coffers for bringing illegals in. I mean, what is this? This is out of control when you got so much money that you don't miss ten billion dollars here and another ten billion dollars there. I mean, why not fix American's teeth?
What happened to the Great Obamacare? What about vision? I saw a very pretty lady the other day with a tooth missing, and she was very conscious about it. Broke it, I think, But it costs thousands of dollars to get a tooth, and most people don't have any dental care for this that type of thing. And what happened to the Great Obamacare that was going to take care of everybody? I don't see any of that. Yeah, has a change or am I am I living under a rock or what?
Well, you know, I don't I. You know, Trump had a great plan for replacing Obamacare that somebody had written, but he didn't really talk about it when he was running in twenty sixteen, and it completely got purged off of his website as soon as they got elected. So, you know, they have these different issues. Here's what's going to happen. There's going to be you know, Elon Musk is going to make a lot of money off of this stuff, because otherwise he's not altruistic. He's not investing one
hundred and eighty million dollars into this election because he's patriotic or something. He's going to get something out of it. He became the world's richest man because he knows how to deal with all these governments, not just the US government, but the Chinese government. And so the real issue is going to be this competition behind the scenes. You've got different groups of people buying different groups
of politicians, and that's not upfront. I mean, we can look at some of these financial connections and their connections with Darper and the military industrial complex and kind of get an idea as to who's behind which candidate. But it's that's really what's going to happen. I mean, these people are running this so called election from the rear, and Katel meecoln said it's an advanced auction of stolen goods. We've got so much money that's being dumped into the elections
now because Washington is so corrupt. Just just look at Menindez, you know, in his gold bars. I talked about that last week when he got convicted. He's typical of what happens in Washington. He's unusual in the sense that he was so sloppy about it that he got caught. Yep. It's uh, It's just what bothers me more than anything is the progressive secrecy the
government. Everything is classified, everything is not for the people's eyes. You know, maybe we really haven't had a constitution since eighteen thirty when the banker's got their fingers into things. I believe we had a lot of freedoms. I know we've had because I've been to other countries, a lot of places in the world. However, I also have been to countries relatively recently that I believe people there have more freedom than we've got here. I think people
are losing a perspective of what we can and can't do. You're starting to see some of it when you get people writing memes that are getting thrown in jail. That's very obvious. That's a warning to everybody. I don't know, maybe have somebody break down your door there and arrest David Knight or speaking his mind while you're on camera. I don't know, I might have the same thing happen. Who knows. Yeah, yeah, we've been kicked off
of pretty much everything as it is, and now you got YouTube. This last week has escalated their attacks against gun channels, coming after Hiccock forty four, forty five and you know, but basically all of them. He's got a big channel, and so he's talking about how they're going to shut that stuff down. We have these technocrats, and I think what's difficult for people is they don't really have a handle on what these technocrats want. They try
to put them into well, are they Republicans or are they democrats? Are they are they communists or are they populists or what? No, they're none of that. They're technocrats and it's a very different thing, and they've got a different objective about this kind of stuff. But they really have seized the levers of control over our speech, and they're in the process of seizing the levers of control over government with the massive amounts of money that they have.
It truly is amazing. Huh. Had you seen that about YouTube and what they're doing in terms of shutting down all gun channels essentially on YouTube? You know, I really, I really don't care what they do as far as that goes. I don't see the gun as the absolute solution to everything already. Do think we're going to have to see force of arms in this country
to some degree to rectify with what we have. Whether that's going to happen or not, I don't know, but it's a necessity, you know, until we get to a star trek existence, using a firearm, which is the most efficient means of defense for defense, is going to be a necessity. I measure everybody and everything on whether they believe in my individual liberties.
If they don't believe, if they start encroaching on them, I don't care what they call themselves, communists or capitalists or rept public or democrat, they lose favor with me. They've got to believe in the individual right thing that's a key to everything. Oh yeah, yeah, And you know, I
thought it was interesting. I made the comment, you know, when we talk about the failures there in Butler, Pennsylvania, I said, just think about the fact that for several minutes, you got all the people saying there's a guy up there on the roof and he's got a he's got a rifle, and everybody's pointing at it, and you can't get the police to do anything. I said, here's a situation. We got police all over the
police and you can't get up to do anything. I said, you know how many times we talked about the necessity of being able to protect yourself. Isn't that a great indication of they disarm everybody in this area except for the police and the one criminal that's there and the police you can't get the police to do anything about that guy. Well, it's like the saying the police
are Minnezuelan and seconds couch. You know. Yeah, the bottom line, whether they're in your presence or not, if you can't defend against a deadly threat, you know, then you've lost everything. If you have a society. Howd a guy tell me about a ninety year old woman who was assaulted by a guy in Romania, and the police came and they arrested him, and they arrested her, and the state's position, this is under communism.
The state's position was the state's the only one that can dispense the violence. So they arrested the ninety year old lady and the assailant because everybody involved in a fight, whether you're defending yourself or what. And he was trying to keep her person getting snatched. And this is the lunacy of their systems. When you go to the what if people think you got a tinfoil hat on
your head. I can just tell people this. I sat in a well known hotel in Africa sipping tea the day before I was across the border and providing security for engineers who were blowing up two transmission lines or a high voltage power line that went from one country to a country south of there. And I was sipping tea and reading the daily Telegraph from the United Kingdom and was talking about the black anti communist freedom fighters and I thought to myself, that's
interesting. There weren't any black eyes with us. We're all white, so you know, they created this all of a sudden, this organization that was fictional came to life and they had funded it and they actually became to be. Of course, you can organize an you can organize an army in Africa
on your social security benefits. I know it doesn't think much. Yeah wow, Well, you know one of the things takeaways I think when we look at this situation and Congressman Corey Mills has talked a lot about this kind of stuff, and you know, you would normally do this and normally do that. It's very interesting to hear it from his perspective in terms of how they're going to secure the perimeter, how they identify the risks and things like that.
But that's essentially what you're doing with your book. You're doing that for people who are not experts. You got your expert instructions there. You're talking about, well, how we would you secure things around your home? What would you look for? I mean, we look at this and it's like, Okay, obviously you're going to put somebody there on the roof, or you're going to have that cordoned off or something like that. But then there's a lot of other things that are not so obvious, and how do you
execute these things? What do you look for, how do you plan for this, and how do you execute it? That's really what you're trying to explain to people in order to protect their home, not to protect a president or somebody like that, but to protect your home. They'll common sense types of things and real practical examples of how to be able to do it on your own. Right. Yeah, well, my neighborhood group should have been
providing security for Trump because we do a better job. I mean, we literally have that type of thing, people on roofs, according off areas, and it's a cooperative effort. And I tell people how to do this from a military standpoint in non military terms, which is important because you get into a lot of people that are telling you how to protect this or that. They you think they're talking a bunch of recruits in basic training that have been
through basic training. As some idea, it has to be in layman terms, and I've got the A to Z in there. People get involved in. Go to Civil Defense Manual dot com and look at the what is in included in this book. They'll be astounded because it virtually gives the A to Z of not only how to prepare, but how to survive if you follow what's going on in the book. Yeah, and key part of that is talking about how to organize things within your community, because you know, you
have to be There's issues in terms of interpersonal relationships that you address. There's also issues in terms of how this is going to appear to the government as something that they need to shut down whatever. So you have to be wise about how you approach other individuals. You have to be wise about what you all do in terms of not drawing attention to yourself and you know, getting a crazy FBI coming after you right well, doing this is a daunting task.
Organizing your neighborhood for a defense, getting together with your neighbors, learning who's who, learning how to put the together is a daunting task. There are a lot of people in the last couple of decades that think they're conservatives and they're not. They're not they when it comes to violence, it's like they've there's gotten to be a feminization of American males and there are people in your neighborhood. I guarantee you who are not that way that will get involved
with the thing. Yeah, it's low key, and it's low key until the violence escalates and it becomes more overtly apparent, and it has to be. That's part of your return is a visual detern to people that are looking to come into your neighborhood and kick your door down. Now, whatever degree you get this organized, it is far superior than being caught with literally with
your pants down and not being able to defend as a group. People who can't defend individually, they think they can, but they're not going to be able to. You got to sleep sometime, You need to have You need to understand that if one person has got twenty people coming after them, that's a dangerous situation. So you keep those people out of your neighborhood and you deal with those people through simple, simple military tactics. The biggest one is
flanking. Blanking is to counter an enemy at a different angle than they're coming towards you from either the sides or possibly the rear. And when you do this, a small number of people can defend a large area. And there's something called economy of force, and that's this is that one person can defend against ten people. You do this always. Always. The defense is the best over offense. Defense is invincible. Offense is a possibility. There's a
famous Chinese military tactician that said that Sun Zoo. You read his works, and I've got links to all this stuff. I have a lot of the information in there that the basic stuff that people need. But you have to have food and water. That's what I preach on. I don't preach tactics because there'd be a lot of skeletons with their fingers around a trigger on a gun if they didn't have food or water. You know, you just aren't going to survive. So critically important food and water. Yeah, yeah,
And that part of it is also important in terms of your community. It's you know, pulling resources like that, pulling skills as well, you know, if you can. And when we see this happening, you know, there is a gradual degradation of our infrastructure, of our power grid, of our food supply and all these other things. It's getting very vulnerable. But
the quality of it is getting undependable as well. You know, we look in wintertime and summertime, everybody's wondering if the power is going to be able to persist. Why, because these guys have been chipping away the power supply. It's just the same way they've been chipping away at our food supply. And so there's various things like that that things measures that you can do by yourself, measures that you can also do with other people in your community.
That's a key thing to think about that you're covering these books. Yeah, a group as far superior is something called strengthen numbers. And if you don't have a group and you don't have numbers, you're in a very vulnerable situation. I think one of the big things people must learn is get to know your neighbors. No matter what happens, whether you can't get your group off
the ground or not, you're gonna know who you can deal with. And the funny thing is that when you bring this implausibility of food or water being short, you bring it up, people start thinking and their mind is literally a magnet to anything you read about that. And there's a if people don't think power shortages are coming, hey, you know, you better get out and look around a little more because there's all kinds of information coming out about
it. Uh. There's a power outage dot com. Uh that it shows what's going on, and you know, just look at what happened in Houston. Look at what just happened in Houston, long term power shortage that was out there. I haven't covered it that much because we've had all this stuff about the shooting and politics this week. But different things like that happen all the time. And David, this is far from over. Yeah, this is far from over. You're going to see shortages, You're going to see
sporadic violence. Maybe people talk about a civil war. I don't. I don't see that as much. There's a possibility with certain issues happening, like a grid down. Yeah, you'd see a lot of islands. It wouldn't be ideologically driven, it'd be survival driven. You know, where do I get water for my kids? You know where do I get some food for my kids? That person is not going to care about ideology. That's right, and that's that's going to come. You will see some of this at
some point when I don't know. The question isn't when are you prepared? And they need to get their head into a book like mine to get prepared. That's the bottom line. If they don't do that, they can sit there and watch their TV program at night and have a pizza and maybe drink a beer. Watch the game on Sunday. But the long and short of it is it's coming down the road and it's going to affect it. That's
right. Yeah, it's building, you know. As they're gradually taking down the power grid and creating these this fragile infrastructure, they're also bringing in tons of people. We've got one city that I talked about, they increase the population by fifty percent. And these are all poor Haitians who came in. Individual men. What are they going to do if something happens there? How are you going to feed these people? How are you going to take care
of them? So that's a lot of things are coming home to roost, and so people need to think about what they're going to do with their neighbors to try to weather disasters, whether they're natural or man made, because we've got both of them on the horizon. It's always good talking to you, Jack, very interesting. What a lot of experiences that you've had. It truly is amazing. And you have a wealth of information and the Civil Defense
Manual. People can again see the chapters there Civil Defensemanual dot Com on water, some other things. There's some free chapters. They'll give you an idea of what's in the book, an excellent two volume set of how to prepare and how to work with your neighbors to do that. Thank you so much for coming on. I appreciate it. Thank you, David. Thank you. All right, folks, before we go, I've got a comment here
on Rock Finn. This is from an ectip from IRS machine Gun. Thank you very much, says I'll be walking around Gatlinburg this weekend trying to get away from a trump boat rally on the lake I live on. Maybe I'll run into you, I'll buy you a dinner. Well, maybe we will run into each other. I don't know, we'll have to see. I would like to try to get away and do something. But that's very kind. I appreciate that I do go there sometimes just to walk so I can
get a little bit of exercise. But I just want to leave everybody with this one thing, and that is, don't get so caught up in politics. And we've talked about it a lot this week. Is kind of inescapable. That's one thing. When I look back, I'd like to give people more hope and a different perspective, because if this is something you're going to lean on as one of the kings of Israel was told. He says that you lean on Egypt, it's going to be a cane that's going to break
and pierce your hand. And that's the way it's going to be with these politicians. We've seen it happen over and over again. So make sure that you've got a foundation in your life. Make sure that you're not focused so much on what is happening in politics or in your own your business or whatever that that becomes the thing in your life. Keep your distance. Understand what these people are doing. That's very important as well, but keep it at
arm's length. Don't make your life about it. Have a good weekend. I'm sure we're going to have something to talk about on Monday. There'll be politics. We'll try to get into some other things as they start to continually play with this in this pageant as it unflows. Thank you. The David Knight's Show is a thinking super spreader.
