Thr 27Jun24 David Knight Show UNABRIDGED

Using free speech to free minds. You're listening to the David Knight Show. As the clock strikes thirteen, it's Thursday, the twenty seventh of June. You're of our lord, twenty twenty four. Well, today we have a lot of Supreme Court cases that I want to talk about, especially the fact that Amy Cony Barrett is, as we suspected, clueless about the First Amendment.

So we're going to talk about what is up with this decision and why there may still be an opportunity to have something done, but it may not be the right thing. You know, the Supreme Court decisions are supposed to be the big victory of Trump, weren't they, And yet Trump couldn't even figure out who was betraying him. And we're going to begin with this. The Trump CIA chief knew about the letters, claiming that there was nothing but

buden in both twenty sixteen and twenty twenty. It was the usual suspects in the CIA that went after Trump totally clueless about it. He and the rest of his followers. We'll be right back. And of course there's more absurdity about banning cows and cattle and that type of thing coming out of Denmark putting a huge tax on each and every animal and the name of saving the planet

from global warming. You see, these people are not content with destroying the fruit of the industrial revolution, good or bad, and there's good and bad in that. They want to even go back an erase the agrarian society that people have had for millennia. I thought that this was all something that was man made global warming. Wasn't that about the machines? As my son was saying last night, we're talking about this, it's like, Ah, they've

switched their narrative. Now it's not about your car and your washing machine and your air conditioning. Now it's about animals that humans have raised forever. They

have to be eliminated. It is unbelievably idiotic. But before we get to the climate stuff, let's talk about the politics. Yes, there's going to be a debate tonight, and no, I will not be covering it. I will not be covering it live. I have to see some proof of life in the candidates before I did this. Before I cover this thing live, I have to see some proof of life in the discussion. Quite frankly, I will do an autopsy tomorrow, but I will not be covering this

so called live debate tonight. It is just all it is is this is like some reality TV show, which I also don't watch, the Real Housewives of fill in the blink. This is the real White House of America. Yeah, that's just as phony. Just the whole thing is all about gossip and in the window. As a matter of fact, you know, when you look at this, it reminds me more and more of high school elections for students government. What did they do? Nothing, They never had anything

to do. There was no policy that they had any involvement in, and yet you had clicks form around these individual people. Fortunately it didn't matter who was there, but it mattered a great deal to those people. Take a look at this from Laura Lumer talking about what happened in the Virginia primary to Bob Good. Now, Bob Good was the guy who was the head of the Freedom Caucus and well still is I guess he's still there. But they

came after him. Why did they come after him? He had both Trump, the Trump camp and the McCarthy camp came after him because he stood up to McCarthy because he's a real conservative and he endorsed DeSantis because he's a real conservative, and so Trump said, well, we got to get him out, and so both of them worked on getting him out, and he only lost by something like three hundred votes, tens of thousands on each side, So it's a tiny fraction of a percent. I imagine it would go into

an automatic recall or recount, but he's going to challenge that. And it was something of an embarrassment for clout for both Trump and McCarthy that combined. Neither of them really had the clout to kind of squeak this out. And it appears that the guy who is going to be there is going to be another Dan Crenshaw, another statist Navy seal who is part of the UNI Party.

But Laura Lumer had this to say, what happened to Bob Good last night needed to happen for the sake of restoring fear back into the minds of elected Republicans. Fear of what, fear of the constitution, fear of we the people, No fear of Donald Trump. She says, Donald Trump is the leader of the Republican Party. If you try to resist that, you'll be removed and replaced. Traders be punished Laura Lumer is the epitome of the

high school personality cliques, Absolutely the epitome. It disgusts me to see what the maga people have become. And she is the tip of the spear of disgusting. So is Trump really the leader? Does Trump know what he's doing? Can Trump handle the deep State? Can he handle the CIA? I've said over and over again that it was Gina. Look at Gena Haspeal. Everybody was so excited when Trump said we got lied into the Iraq War.

Well, everybody knew that. He was the first politician really, I guess to admit it, but everybody knew it that we were lied into the Iraq War. Well, who did the lying there was Gina Haspeal. She gave data it was based on a torture program. You get people say anything for torture. And after people found out that it was based on torture program, they said, well, we men had But she did that and got us into a war. And of course she covered up the torture program. John

Kiriaku, who was a whistleblower who exposed it, went to jail. The criminal who perpetrated it and who covered it up, and who deleted. Most importantly, she got rid of the video files. Can you imagine if the video files had gone out, it would have been far more damaging than anything from that people got from wiki leaks. And so she deleted the video files, covered everything up. John Kiriaku, the whistleblower. It's the only person to go to jail, not the people who did the torture, not the

people who lied us into the Iraq war. She gets promoted to being the director of the CIA by Trump. From the very beginning, folks, because Pompeo was a figurehead. She was the deputy director from the very beginning. She was the number two. She was the one who ran it. And then after a year or so, he promoted Pompeo to Secretary of State and Gina Haspal was moved up to the official director. But I said at the time that she was appointed, I knew all that. I also knew that

she had been at the London station with all this Russia Gate stuff. Remember all that the dot CIA, the Steele DOSIA and all the rest of stuff. How they came out of London. You had the London Langley Axis axis about how they were passing information back and forth, but it was really key what was happening in London. She was the head of the London station. She was right there from the very beginning of all this stuff, and all

of the Trump press did not want to talk about that. Now, I want to talk about how clueless it was that Trump would appoint her, said the CIA. It's almost like the CIA was in control of the government, right. And so in twenty sixteen they put out a bunch of lines about Trump, kept him busy, kept him preoccupied, They manipulated and managed him in the open, quite frankly. And then we find out now with these hearings, the Trump CIA chief, that would be Gina Haskell, knew about

the infamous letter dismissing the Biden laptop as propaganda before publication. This is the headline from Fox News. They said, the Hatch Act forbids most spy agency employees from engaging in part of some political activities. In theory right and theory of the constitution would prohibit them from even existing and all of what they're doing,

quite frankly. But the conservative press likes to focus on Brennan and Clapper and Hayden, and they completely ignore the woman who used torture and lies to get us into the Iraq war, all the rest of this stuff. Pompeo was just a beard, and so is Trump. Quite frankly, active CIA intelligence contractors colluded with a Biden campaign when releasing a statement dismissing Hunter Biden's infamous laptop as Russian disinformation ahead of the twenty twenty election, and the then CIA

chief was in the loop before the statement's release. According to a joint report released by three House panels, we knew, says Jim Jordan again more TV trials. We knew that the rushed statement from the fifty one former intelligence officials was a political maneuver between the Biden campaign and the Intelligence Committee. So twenty

sixteen, you had seventeen intelligence agencies according to Hillary Clinton. James Clapper I think was the one who put out oh yeah, yeah, it was the seventeen Yeah, and then you had fifty one different officials in twenty twenty. They keep running the same plays over and over again because they work on people. So yeah, we knew that, he said, and so the House Judiciary Committee is looking into it. You know, when I saw that, I'm just so fed up with Jim Jordan. And the GOP in general in

Congress, they do nothing at all. They preen for the cameras. You know, before Jim Jordon, you had Trey Gowdy as well, and he's got his contract with Fox News. I wish Jim Jordan would just retire and go to Fox News. Give it a break. So he's got the Judiciary Committee, and it made me think about that quote from Karl Rove. He said, you know, to journalists, he said, you are the reality

people, but we create our own reality. And while you are studying it as you will judiciously, even in the Judiciary Committee, right as you study, while you study it as you will judiciously, we will act again at the very beginning of it. He says, you know, you're reality people, but we are an empire now and we create the reality. And while you're studying it, we're going to create a new reality. And you can study that. He said. We are history's actors. And Jim Jordan is

a TV actor. He doesn't do anything, He never acts. These people do their stuff and he's and I'm not just picking up Jim Jordan. He is emblematic of the entire Congress Republican side now Democrats are acting. Uh, they are taking action, they are rolling out their agenda, and the Republicans are acting as in hypocrites as in the Greek definition of hypocrite or an actor. They're pretending going through the motions of caring, of resisting, but they

never do anything. And so Jim Jordan and the GOP will be left to study what these global empirests like Karl Rove were doing. And again, Karl Rove is Republican. Yeah, it's uh. THEREO reveals new information detailing how the highest levels of the CIA up to and including then CIA Director Gina Haspell. We're made aware of the public statements of The Hunter byden emails by fifty

one former intelligence officials prior to its official publication. And they're like, oh, you know, some of these people are still involved in all this stuff. It's like, yeah, okay, it wasn't enough to disqualify Gina Haspital to Lias and the Irock War. I don't really care which candidate she was supporting at which point in time, why she was supporting one candidate or another. And then you look at Real Clear Politics and there's a very long article

not Real Clear Politics, Real Clear investigations. They have very long article about this same thing about rigging the twenty twenty debates, but also the twenty sixteen and how the Intelligence agency was there, but they placed it all at the door of James Clapper. How silly is that they even say in the article everybody considered James Clapper to be the Barney Fife for the CIA. Brennan is the true evil genius. You can see it in his eyes when he talks.

And Hayden. I mean, those those two guys are but Clapper is like, oh, it's just the stooge that they've got out there, even though he was at a CIA at one point, but the was I don't know if he's had the CIA, if he was head of his director National Intelligence anyway. Uh, it's ridiculous that they don't even talk about Gene Haspell in this what's going on with that? I think you know who the really powerful people are. They're the ones that they don't talk about, isn't it?

You know you won't know who rules this ruth. It's the ones that they don't talk about. It was former fbissistant director Chris Chris Schwecker who said that Clapper was the Barney Fife of the intelligence community, are you spuying on Americans without a search? One senator or knows her non intentionally, I guess. And then but we're all going to be saved. We're all going to be saved by Trump. He's such a stable genius. Just take a look

at this little campaign thing that he staged. He had he'd set this up with Brian Byron Donald's to go to a barbershop in a black community, and he wasn't going to show up. He was just gonna phone it in, and he phoned it in and listened to what he had to say. But since this has happened, like the watch their expressions, it just beat Elvis Presley and Frank Sinata buy a lot, by the way, lead him buy a lot. But that's the number one month all time. It's really an

amazing thing. Since it happened, the support among the black community and the Hispanic community has skyrocket. It's been amazing, really been amazing. It's I'm one of you. Now got a mug shot to see to the president. In one way. In one way you said, gee, isn't that too bad? But the truth is, it's really a lovely thing. When I see that we have great support now in the black community and in the Hispanic community. Idiot, idiot. First of all, I was el the mugshots

of Elvis and Sinatra, like I know anything about it. I looked that up and people had put out a picture of Elvis holding up like this card that had some numbers on it and everything. You know, it was not a full phrase and a profile. I you typically say with the mug shot, that was not a mug shot. That was him getting out of the army and they were taking an exit picture of something. Frank Sinatra actually was arrested and actually did have a mugshot. He was charged with seduction and adultery.

Trump better be glad that they're not arresting people for that anymore. I guess the seduction part is really only of his voters, but the rest of he pays for. Trump sent his black friend Byron Donald's so that they can call into a black barbershop and tell them how he has the number one mug shot of all time and now he's got something in common with black people. On Twitter, he says it's been a really great thing for him. One

person says, what does it even mean? To be the number one mug shot of all time, the best smugshot, not mugshot, it's the best. Another person says, look at their body language there, they're embarrassed. Another person, Ray Pride, on Twitter, said Trump claims thug life an Atlanta barbershop. Another one says, I thought Trump was you all guy in the hood. He didn't want to come to the barbershop to chill with black

maga. Yeah, couldn't even make it there. Kind of interesting. Well, New Paul chose a record number of people don't like Trump or Biden had the first debate. Twenty five percent of respondents have unfavorable views of both of them. Yeah, they don't want Donald duck or Goofy. I like that.

That's from Wine Press, Donald Duck or Goofy. You have the Rutherford Institute, Whitehead there had an interesting piece has been picked up by a lot of different outlets, Free Thought Project, Zero Hedge American dictators uncomfortable truth you won't hear from Trump, pro Biden or from their supporters in their captive partisan media. He says history has shown us that no matter who assumes the office of president, all of our problems will remain the same. We need to

understand they don't care, they don't represent us. They're not even control of what happens to their lives. As you can see with Trump being batted around back and forth by these different forces, he can't even defend himself. He doesn't even know who his enemies are and his allies are. Yes, he doesn't do anything except in his own perceived self interest. But he perceives his self interest incorrectly because he's such a narcissist. The twenty twenty four elections will

not do much to alter our present course to a police state. You know what will. What made the difference all across the country down plan from Fauci and the science and the money from Washington. What made the difference. It was a local place, the local officials, and they made a big difference. From place to place. It could be better or it could be worse. So he has a few points here, read a couple of them. He's got about fifteen. Actually I'm not going to read about three or four.

So the government's not your friend. It doesn't work for we the people. Number two. Gradually it is whittling away our freedoms. It has liberated itself from the contractual agreement the Constitution. You know, for years it was I think it was back in the nineties that Russell Means, who was he ran at the same time, actually, in nineteen eighty six, he ran for the Libertarian Party nomination for president at the same time that Ron Paul did

nineteen eighty eight. I'm sorry, and Ron Paul got it. Russell Means wrote a book and he called it Where White Men Fear to Tread, and he said government has broken every treaty it is made with the American Indian. He said, a white man, the Constitution is the treaty that the federal government made with you, and they've broken every aspect of it. What are you going to do about it? So that's the question for us, right,

he says. Republicans and Democrats act like there's a huge difference. However, they're united in a common goal, which is to maintain the status quo. Maybe it's not so much maintaining the status quo anymore, maybe it's maintaining the status quo of their position there. I would say that it's about pushing forward the fourth turning. I'd say they are united and a goal of taking our country down that's what they're really about. Presidential elections merely serve to maintain

the status quo. Just make sure, folks that you're not dancing to the Hegelian two step. Okay when they play that tune. Don't start to hap in your feet, okay like an idiot. The US government is spending money it doesn't have on foreign programs that can't afford, all the while piling up debt. They'll be put on us and used to take everything away from us, he says. Forty years past the George Orwell envisioned the stomping foot boot of Big Brother. The police state is about to pass off the baton to

the surveillance state, he says. And now we are at a position where exposing a crime is treated as committing a crime. This as I said before about John Kyriaco and junasvill She becomes she gets promoted by Trump to the head of the CIA. He goes to prison, and even after he serves his time, he can't get a pardon from Trump unless he pays Rudy Giuliani a

million dollars. That's the corruption in the lunacy on the Republican side, and you know about it on the Democrat side, but Juliana signs she's another example of it. Somebody expose ing crimes is the one who goes to jail, not the criminals. He says, as I may clear my book Battlefield America of the War on the American People, and in its fictional counterpart, the

Eric Blair Diaries, you know the real name of George Orwell. He said, these problems will continue to plague our nation and lessen until Americans wake up to the fact that we are the only ones who can change things for the better. The question is where do we work to change things for the better? Way? You might want to listen to Elon Musk. You might want to pay attention to what George Sois does. That's what Elon Musk said.

He says he's not focused on presidential election. He's focused on district attorneys because he gets the biggest bang for his buck focusing on local elections. That's where he can really change things. All politics is local. We've been told by these people forever. The rest of this stuff, folks, is just a distraction. These debates are just a distraction. The change is going to happen is going to have to happen at the local level, and it can be

blocked to a large degree at the local level. The federal government does not represent you, It does not represent change. A dictatorship in Washington is not going to solve your problems. Washington is no longer a republic and it's not a democracy. It has become a mockery. That's what it is. You know, you had James Carbill. What's the matter with these people. They're so stupid. They think that we got a republican It's like, yeah,

well that's what the constitution says. You know, we got a democracy here, you know, all this kind of stuff. Well, no, we have a mockery. This is a mockery. So everybody's talking about age, are you going to drug tests? Biden and all this other kind of stuff. Say they got him hyped up. Everybody's so concerned about it that,

of course Biden is eighty one, Trump is seventy eight. What they're doing in their commercials and there was actually a brilliant commercial even though it doesn't matter and it's you know, lies and all that kind of stuff, but it was a brilliant hit job by the Lincoln Project on Trump because what they did was they had all these conservative commentators like Sean Hannity and others who were talking about Biden's obvious senility. And they would have these people and they wouldn't say

Biden. They would just say he's this and he's that. You know. So, as they're talking about that, and then they would show Trump and some type of the stuttering thing or where he uses the wrong word or whatever, everybody can see that there is a huge difference in terms of cognitive ability between Biden and Trump. That's about the only difference that there is between them. And when it comes to policy, they don't want to talk about that. So I focus on age. And if you focus on age, you

focus on snility. What is that telling people that these guys are really in charge? Do you really think they're in charge? Do you really think that Biden is in charge? And do you really think that Trump is in charge? When he's got all the people around him, he doesn't even know which they're on his side or not on his side. It's perfect fit, isn't it. You know that the MAGA people think that Trump's on his side, and Trump doesn't even know who's on his side when he's in the White House.

It's pretty pathetic. Everybody's living in this fantasy projection that they've got there. So the age anxiety is only matters if you think that these guys are in charge, and they're not in charge. But if you want to watch the debate, I suggest that there is a way that you can maybe tolerate it if you use some kind of an age filter to knock off about seventy five years off of each of their ages. Wants to shut down this country. I want to keep it open, and they just let me shut you

down for a second. Jet just for one second. I don't wear most like him. Every time you see him, he's got a mask. He could be speaking two hundred three away from that. He shows up with the biggest mask I've ever seen. You could never have done the job that we get. You don't have it in your like. You could have never done that job. I know how to do the job. I know I can do the job. I can. Neither one of them can do the job, folks. But yeah, if you want to watch the debate, maybe

you could do that in real time. I don't know where that filter comes, probably on a phone somewhere, but it's it's ridiculous. And when you look at what these people at the time, everybody was talking, that's their previous encounter at the time. As Reason magazine points out, a disastrous Biden and Trump debate could be the best possible outcome out of this. When they

did that back in October twenty twenty, that just showed you that. The Washington Post called it quote the worst presidential debate and living memory for media analyst Tom Jones at Pointer, he said it was a dumpster fire, full of constant interruptions, constant talking over one another, name calling, juvenile bickering. Reason says a transcript of the debate reads like gibberish because it is gibberish because it's about their personality, just like with the Laura Lumer thing. So you

about Trump or not? Okay, I'm sick of that now. It would have been interesting to have some other candidates in there actually talk about issues, but that's not going to happen. They control that very carefully. Everything about this is a controlled pageant. It is a Wag the Dog pageant, remember that movie. The characters just think of it as a pageant. Reasons Jacob Sullam argued then that the debate was good for their public because it shattered the

unfounded respect for the people who rule us. So what if the debate doesn't simply confirm that the Biden Trump debates in twenty twenty showed that these men deserve neither our respect nor our affection. No, I mean, what if it was actually really bad? Democrats have been working hard to counter program any suggestion that Biden's mental acuity has declined. The evidence keeps piling up, and so you know where do we go with this? What is the best possible outcome

of this? Well, the best thing would be for you to direct your attention away from this pageant, this show, this entertainment in the things that

matter. RFK Jr. Did not make as planned the cut, but he says that he's planning to join the presidential debate with the miracle of technology, and so he's going to have some people who are going to evidently green screen him into the debate so that he and maybe they'll pause it so that he can make a comment on it. I will not be, like I said, I'll not be covering a live debate because I don't believe these people are really live. They are a couple of zombie puppets. I'll do an autopsy

of some of the stuff tomorrow. But life is too short, it really is. We're going to do a kind of live streams that RFK jor that includes me in the debate. It'll have a podium, it'll kind of look like I'm on stage. He said. The most consequential political issue of the last two presidential administrations had to do a COVID nineteen pandemic. And you can rely on the fact that they won't be talking about that. They may use it to criticize each other. They didn't do it enough. But here's what

rf K Junior said. He's right about this part. I don't support RFK Junior. I'm just saying that we need to have somebody that's going to talk about I said at the very beginning, there's absolutely no way I was going to vote for him. He never was honest in terms of taking back what he said about locking up people who disagreed with him about the green agenda and many other things, and then he jumps in and supports the war other things

like that. But an abortion of course, big, big support of abortions. So there's a lot of reasons that I would not support him. However, I thought it would have been good to have him in the debates because he would bring up some of these issues that these other guys are not going to talk about, and then they won't be asked by CNN. He said. They locked down our country for five hundred days, which both President Trump

and President Biden went along with. That decision shifted four point three trillion dollars of the American middle class to this new oligarchy of billionaires. They created a billionaire a day in five hundred days. Five hundred billionaires are creating it. And they shut down three point three million businesses. They shut down all the churches. See, you weren't essential, as Trump put it. He goes

on, they shut down freedom of speech. Companies started actively censoring for the first time in history, pressuring social media and media companies not to publish critiques of their policies. And the biggest cheerleader was CNN. He said, Jake Tapper was out there shaming people who violated mask mandates or who weren't staying in their homes. I feel somebody should be on that stage asking all three of

them about their role in it all. You see is criticism of Jake Tapper because he doesn't like Trump, because he's biased against Trump, and he is biased against Trump. They put him in as a moderator, but he joined Trump and Biden in pushing this pandemic of fear lies and propaganda. RFK Junior goes on to say Louis Brandas Brandeis says that the role of medium and a democracy is to maintain a fierce position of skepticism toward government authorities and toward official

pronouncements. This is what the media did in this country for the first two hundred and eighty five years as part of our existence. But in the last decade, and particularly culminating in COVID, you saw the need to completely take the opposite a posture. The media has become a mouthpiece for government policies and shamed people. It silenced them, it marginalized them, it gas lit them. And let me say, what we saw for the first time in the

Trump administration was conservative media. Well, that was the last bastioning of this. The liberals went over to a you to play this game, to be on the side of government a long time ago. And now we have the conservatives and the people who used to be on the outside. They used to not push the idea that all of our problems could be solved in Washington. But they all became uncritical cheerleaders. They all looked for a demographic that could

make them money, and then they serve up to that demographic. Whatever that demographic demographic wants to hear, whether it's about Trump, whether it's about Biden. When asked if he would accept a job from Trump if the former president was elected in November, Kennedy said that he would consider a proposal, but he doesn't think he would accept the offer. He said, I don't think so. I would listen to a proposal, but I don't think so.

He said. One of the reasons that I don't think i'd go to work for him is because he offered a job in the last administration, but instead he took a billion dollars from Pfizer. And you know what he's talking about, it's well covered. You know, Trump posed during the election as a vaccine skeptic. He believed that, you know, he put an indications out

there. They believed that the childhood vaccines had been part of the autism issues, and so he called in RFK Junior to Trump Towers during the transition period, and as he was coming out the press is there. I said, what you talk about, you're going to ban vaccines. No, no, no, We're going to actually do some science and test them to see if they work, if they're safe. That type of thing is the way he

put it. Well, Trump was just using RFK Junior to bid his price up with the pharmaceutical companies, and they paid him millions of dollars each. And what he did was he hired Eli Lilly's CEO, the most politically connected of all the pharmaceutical companies, alex Azar, put him in charge of HHS and it was alex a czar to put out the first emergency order in January of twenty twenty before Trump released the emergency cash that paid everybody to do what

Alex's are and the pharmaceutical companies wanted them all to do. We're going to take a quick break and we'll come right back. We've got some Supreme Court decisions about the First Amendment that are very important and many other things. You know, we've not had a decision yet on the whether or not there was a couple of issues about January the sixth and about Trump. They've not released decisions on those and I don't think that they will until after this debate.

I think that was deliberate, but something else leaked out the common man. They created common Core, dumbed down our children. They created common past, track and control us their Commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing and the communist future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take

away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find at the Davidknightshow dot com. Thank you for listening, Thank you for sharing. If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers. Ddavidknightshow dot com. Welcome back, and I've got a

couple of comments. I've got a tip here as well. And by the way, I just want to thank everybody for the support. Yesterday Marty did matching funds and we had a lot of support. Yesterday, I apologize for not getting an update. I did not go through in total everything up. I was just yesterday. I was just so exhausted. I went to bed early. So you some of this. Sometimes this really gets to me. But I apologize. We'll get that done today. I'll do that instead of

watching the debate. How about that. It's going to find something to do. Duke Nukem, thank you for the tip, he says, research flat Earth Deep in the rabbit Hole d t r H on you on YouTube and rumble NASA moon Landing's globe Earth our world as mass deception. As you well know, we can see many miles beyond purported global curve. It's undeniable and a no brainer. Well, I agree. I just look, you know, we have a lot of perceptions out there, and so I like to

focus on the things that have a direct influence on us. It is hard enough to get people to believe that buildings just collapsed on their own, you know, to not believe the nine to eleven official story. Many people want to clean to that, and so you know, if we could get people to pay attention to that, we could look at some of these other things as well, but that's really my focus because it's tied to what happened to us in twenty twenty. That was the other shoot to drop. Those two

things were happening at the same time. As a matter of fact, they even did the first germ game two months before nine to eleven Octospook does David list an itinerary someplace on the subjects that he plans on the subjects of the day, or just chosen from current events, either as acceptable course just asking I don't I used to put some of the key topics that I was going to talk about up, but you know, quite honestly, when I'm doing

the show, sometimes I'll just change it. And I always have more stuff each day than I can actually get to, and so sometimes I don't go in the order that I had planned. Sometimes I skip over to something else. So I stopped doing that because I'd mentioned that I was going to cover this, this, this, and this today, and I wind up covering

some different things. But I do every day. We have started trying to get the show up earlier, so I first put the show up where they without any description, saying the description will follow, and then when I get that done, and as usually by about four hours after the show, I put up a transcript that shows with time codes, that shows the topics discussed in general and about where you can find them, because I know it's a long show, and I know people don't most people don't listen to all of

it every day unless you're traveling or working or something like that, and so I put the subjects there if people are looking at it after the fact, but it takes a while for those to get there, but they do show up. So we used to wait until I had everything ready and put it up because I'm not sure if when I put it up on when I put it up for the podcast, it immediately pushes it out to other places, and I'm not sure if it pushes out the change to the other places.

So you guys can let me know if you don't see the update, if you only see a generic description there each day, we'll have to change that. But I thought it'd be better to get it up sooner, a couple of hours sooner, rather than waiting until I had all of the description topics by time code and everything in there. So chef GN three two one. I'm tired of being told that if I don't like Trump, I must like Biden. Are we really that dumb? Yeah, we're really that bipolar ap

rumblest bragging about a fake mugshot. That's what you want in president. They have dismantled this nation. I know it wasn't that ridiculous? And again and capable of acting except out of his unperceived self interest and a totally consumed narcissist. Of course he will act out of revenge as well. About the child version of the debate, and Najee Levin says, you should air that version of the debate on your show, probably the most watched broadcast. Yeah,

get the whole thing and do that. It's kind of interesting because CNN has got lots of rules for anybody that wants to cover it. You can do. You must put it full screen. You've got to put their chiron there. Nothing about your network if you want to cover it when you go to commercial break, when they go to commercial break and you go to commercial break, you can't do any commentary about it and all the rest of stuff. Well, that's not going to happen. And on Twitter a lot of people

be doing commentary. I'm not going to do that. I've done that in the past. I think the best way to do commentary quite frankly, so that people you always wind up having to talk over them. If you're going to say anything, if you do it live, I think it's better to do it as a tweet. But I'm not going to do that. Anybody else want to do that, knock yourself out. I can't stand watching these

guys. I literally despise them. It's just, you know, like I said, life is too short a Syian girl, I don't think the debate can be anything but a disaster. Neither candidate can talk to the issues. Just Laura Lumer type personality batching. That's all it is. So are you for this guy or against the thing? And that's why they do only two candidates, because it makes it easier to do the ad hominem attacks. And

they always ask the same stupid, irrelevant questions. They never address the issue of the day, and that's on the news media people seeing in other people of that ilk. That's why they picked them, and that's why the debates are not even controlled by a third party like the League of Women Voters. They don't want to have somebody like Ross pro or third third wheel but they don't control on again, and so they created a Debate Commission that's run by

the Republicans and Democrats. Everything is a duopoly and it really the Debate Commission is just another example of the UNI Party. So checktering three to one. Trump, the vaccines are great, Biden just blah blah blah. Yeah, I agree, Octo spoke. I wish RFK Junior was not blocked from the debate. I think he would have forced a bit of honesty to these debates. I agree. I suspect the majority of Americans real concerns will never be

addressed. Perhaps RFK Junior DUBN will cover those. Well. I'm glad that he's going to fight all of that. But of course we've always seen that. I've always and I realized a long time ago when I was involved in third party politics that their whole agenda was to keep you focused on the race for president or maybe the race for governor in some cases, so you didn't really put a lot of resources in getting somebody elected at the local level.

It's like, if they are so concerned to keep us over here, maybe we shouldn't be doing what they want us to do. Maybe that's a really stupid way to do politics, to do exactly what they have designed for us to do. Well, let's talk a little bit about the Supreme Court. And the Supreme Court has acknowledged accidentally posting an Idaho abortion case document that may

preview a narrow Biden administration win. Isn't it interesting? You know, we had the Dobbs decision that was leaked, course about the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Now we have another abortion decision being leaked. Huh. Maybe if they want to know who's doing this, maybe they look to see who in this inner circle of just a few people it's rapidly pro abortion. They

might be able to figure out who actually leaked this stuff. So they say it was inadvertently posted and then they removed it from its website, but some people got a snapshot of it. The court appeers things, and we don't know if this is the actual decision or if it's going to change or not. They said, the court appeers to set to be to allow emergency room doctors in Idaho to perform abortions in certain situations, according to a copy of

the decision, And of course this would contradict what they just did. With dobs with dobbs. They just said, with a tenth Amendment, we don't get to make these decisions. These things belong at the state level. Now they're going to go back in and start micromanaging at the federal level these different decisions. Right now, they're going to start writing law about things over which they should have no jurisdiction, and they're going to do it in the federal

sphere. And it's kind of interesting to see that they are waiting into these areas where they have no jurisdiction, where they disrespect the clear language of the Constitution on issue after issue. It's interesting to see that even as they pretend that they don't have any authority to rule in some of these controversial cases like the free speech case, the social media free speech case, that they just took a pass on and said, well, these defendants don't have standing.

Oh, yes they do, Yes, they do. Everybody sees through that dodge, and it is a dodge. The bottom line is, as they pass on a couple of these controversial cases saying they didn't have standing, they are jumping into areas where they have no standing, where they have no authority under the Constitution, No federal agency has any authority, he says, not any authority when it comes to abortion. There's no authority for the federal government

at any level. For the Supreme Court, for the President, for the Congress, none of them have the authority to have a say about that. That belongs at the state level. So this case, this Idaho case, concerns whether a federal law, again at the federal law comes into an area that the federal government has not been expressly given power, then it is usurping that power because that power has been reserved by the Tenth Amendment to the States

and to the people. But it's a federal law that regulates sumergency room treatment, and it overrides Idaho's strict abortion ban. Brown Jackson wrote separately to say the court should have go on ahead and decided the bigger issue, which is likely to come up in another case and d course would have an impact in other states with similar abortion restrictions. She said, today's decision is not a victory for pregnant patients in Idaho, while this court daddles and the country waits

pregnant people. Why she keep talking like that? Why does she say pregnant women? Oh? Well, because it's pregnant patients and pregnant people. Remember it was Brown Jackson that Marcia Blackburn asked point blank what is a woman? That was Katanji and she still doesn't know what she knows, but she won't say right, She's still playing this game. Pregnant people, pregnant patients famously would not acknowledge what a woman is, and she's never going to He's going

to keep up this charade with all this stuff. So Supreme Court is also in terms of free speech, they're going to allow the government to pressure social media companies to censor. You know, we had we all knew what was happening for a long time. We knew that was exactly what was happening. Then we got the Twitter files and we got we had the documentary proof that

they were doing it. And so you had two states, and you had five individuals, high profile individuals, who had been censored by Facebook because there were there was a paper trail showing that the government wanted them to censor people

that disagreed with the government's agenda, and they did it. And so Amy Coney Barrett wrote the decision and she pretends that these people don't have standing one of the most ridiculous evasions I've ever seen in my life, CNN says, the Supreme Court allows White House to press social media companies to remove disinformation. Well, in reality, it was really more not saying well, this is okay. They just said, well, it's not even We're not even going

to issue a decision about the substance of this claim. We're just going to dodge this completely by saying that it is you don't have standing. The FBI may continue to urge social media platforms to take down content that the government views as misinformation, says CNN. How is that not censorship? Censorship by proxy. I've always said that you see the iron fist of censorship in a velvet glove of private companies. That's what this stuff all is. Social media was

created to do this. The government helped to create it for this very purpose. CNN says. Rather than delving into the weight the weighty First Amendment questions raised by the case, the court ruled that state and social media users who

challenged Bide administration did not have standing to sue. Barrett, who wrote the opinion for the six to three majority, said to establish standing, the plaintiffs must demonstrate a substantial risk that in the near future they will suffer an injury that is traceable to a government defendant and readdressable by the injunction that they seek. Because no plaintiffs has carried that burden, none has standing to seek a

preliminary injunction. How clueless can you be? As Information Liberation says, it's more conservative cowardice on the part of two Trump appointed Federalist Society approved justices, Justice Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, and Gorsch were the ones who dissented. And so what we see here is a pattern. Oh people like say, well, it's a conservative court, Well, how do you come up with that? And we've got a hardcore radical left, the Obama Biden women that

are there, that's the three. Call him the squad if you will. And then you've got John Roberts, who more often than not, folks, and especially on the big issues, more often than not, he sides with the left. Now he didn't he and Kavanaugh didn't on Robie Wade, but they came really close according to discussions that we're hat. But Kavanaugh is like a clone of John Roberts. He seems to do everything that he does,

which leaves us with Amy Cony Barrett. And do you remember when she had her confirmation hearings and she was asked about the First Amendment and she couldn't couldn't summarize it, didn't understand why things like religion and politics will be talked about in the First Amendment. What are the five freedoms of the First Amendment? Speech, religion, press, assembly, speech, press, religion, assembly. I don't know what am I missing? Redress or protest? Okay,

why is there one amendment that has these five freedoms clustered? What do they hang together? I don't know what you're getting at on that one, Like, what is the common denominator? Why five of them in the same amendment? I don't know why. Actually, as a historical matter, those were grouped. I'm sure there's a story that I don't know there about why those appeared in the First Amendment altogether rather than being split up in different amendments.

I mean, assembly and protest and speech bear more relation to one another than necessarily free exercise. Say no, no, sorry, thanks for playing next next contestant. That's what they should have said. But now they went ahead and pastor on the next level. And this is why we get from some idiot like that. Okay, so there's the Bill Wrights, which too many of us is kind of important. And you can't be bothered to even learn what the first one says, let alone understand why it was put together.

Why do we have religion and politics. Well, it's because that's the kind of stuff that the government doesn't want. You're talking about, right, Everything is about religion or politics that they want a censor. For the most part, that's what the First Amendment is trying to prevent. They know that that's what the government wants to shut down. So Justice Alito and Thomas, Clarence Thomas, and Neil Gorsich wrote a dissent that dubbed this case quote one of

the most important free speech cases to reach the Court in years. They said the challengers had brought forward enough evidence to establish standing in by the way, all the lower courts thought so as well. All the lower courts didn't throw it out because of standing. The Court, however, shirks that duty, says the decision written by Alito and Thomas. I think it's Thomas, they

all signed it together. Gorsic. The court shirks that duty and thus permits the successful campaign of coercion in this case to stand as an attractive model for future officials who want to control what people say, what they hear, and what they think. That was written by Alito. He called the conduct of the officials sued in the case unconstitutional, coercive, and dangerous. He said it was blatantly unconstitutional and the country may come to regret the court's failure to

say so. He had a thirty four page descent that went through the details of the case as he sought to counter the court's conclusions that they didn't have standing. So he wrote thirty four pages to show that they did have standing. He said, for months, high ranking government officials placed unrelenting pressure on Facebook to suppress Americans free speech. Because the Court unjustifiably refuses to address this serious issue, the serious threat to the First Amendment. I respectfully dissent.

Well, what do we expect? All right? She was a diversity pick, just like Sandradale O'Connor was a diversity pick. For she was Trump's diversity pick, his DEI if you will, just like Sandradale O'Connor was Reagan's diversity pick, and it was a big one because it was the first time anybody put a woman on the Supreme Court. I remember they even came out rushed a really garbage piece of quote unquote entertainment propaganda. You know, even Hollywood

was so excited about Reagan doing this diversity thing with Sandreday O'Connor. I think they even had it like first for Sunday or Monday in October or something like that, and it was about, you know, the first day of this female Supreme Court justice, and of course Santdreday O'Connor huge disappointment to all the Conservatives that thought, well, we don't have to fight Roe v. Wade at the local level because Reagan is going to do it for us in Washington

with Supreme Court picks. And she turned out to be one of the most leftist statist shills in there, and she's wrong on nearly everything, nearly everything.

Well, Alito railed about this again as Berrett read her, and this is from the Hill, and they said, these three guys were so furious that Supreme Court just pushed this thing out of the way, and they talk about how Alito and Thomas, who were there, how they reacted while her decision was being read, and the fact that Gorsich wouldn't even attend, wouldn't even attend. As Barrett read her opinion, Alito mainly looked down at the set of papers in front of him, with his head, sometimes leaning on

his hand. He did not read his descent aloud from the bench. Like Alito, Thomas also looked down for the greater portion of the opinion reading and leaned his head on his hand at times. About halfway through Barrett's reading, Thomas could be seen putting back on his glasses, reading papers in his hand,

and occasionally looking up and out into the courtroom. Gorsic was absent, and so the Alito wrote in his decision, I assumed that a fair portion of what social media users had to say about COVID and the pandemic was of little lasting value. Some was undoubtedly untrue or misleading, and some may have been downright dangerous, you know, like what Vauchu was telling us. But

he said, we now know that valuable speech was also suppressed. And most importantly, it's not for the government to decide what we allow to hear or not. Here, it's not their prerogative to decide what is true and false. It's also not their prerogative to decide what is acceptable and what is hateful speech either. The wide administration contended that it was merely encouraging the platforms to moderate content, so the communications didn't cross the line into outright unconstitutional coercion.

How could that be? How could you course somebody through social media? Government has a monopoly on coercion, and it was government that was coursing. Alita rejected that view and his dissent, insisting that White House officials browbeat Facebook into deleting posts, and the platform's response quote resembled that of a subservient entity determined to stay in the good graces of a powerful task master. That's what this

all is, he said. If the lower court's assessment of the voluminous record is correct, this is one of the most important free speech cases to reach the court in years. So where do we go from here? Well, this particular case, as Cony Barrett, the others take a pass on it, refused to really judge it and allow it to continue. There's another one that is making its way up, and this is coming from Children's Health Defense and RFK junior and class action suits that have now been combined and in this

particular case, They said they also are very disappointed in this. They said the decision reversed decisions by two lower courts which held that when the government quote coerced or quote significantly encouraged unquote the platforms to moderate content that presidential elections and other controversial topics, that they transformed the social media company's decisions into state actions and violating the First Amendment, and so Children's Health Defense CEO Mary Holland said,

we consider the government's role in coursing and encouraging censorship by social media platforms the greatest threat the free speech in our time. Children's Health Defense and its founder and chairman on leeve, Robert F. Kennedy Junior, in March twenty twenty three, made similar allegations, and a class action lawsuit filed on behalf of all American news consumers. Holland said that these two suits don't face the same problem of standing as some of the plaintiffs and Murphy versus. Missouri,

and that Kennedy versus A. Biden is expected to move forward. We note that the Supreme Court did not reach did not reach the merits. In other words, they didn't get to the point with actually discussed the issue the First Amendment, they dodged it by lying about the fact that these defendants didn't have

standing. These are people who've been censored. We will continue with Kennedy versus Bien Biden, a separate lawsuit in the Western District of Louisiana, where we believe that there is no issue regarding lack of standing for RFK Junior or Children's Health Defense, who were directly and traceably censored and continued to be heavily censored. We expect this case to move forward even if standing remains an issue for

the Missouri plaintiffs. If Kennedy versus Biden has heard on its merits, which the court did not do in Mirthy versus Missouri, the outcome could have wide reaching implications for the First Amendment and online speech on x RFK Junior said there is no question that he PhD have standing. He said the Supreme Court got it wrong and has failed to hold his responsibility to the Constitution by finding no standing in Murthy versus Missouri. My case of Kennedy versus Biden will proceed in

the trial court where there is no question that I have standing. He's the new York Times called the decision by the Supreme Court one of the most important First Amendment cases of the Internet age because the constitutional questions at stake. Judge Dottie in July of twenty twenty three even issued a preliminary injunction, telling the Biden administration officials that they could not communicate their desire to have stuff removed or

silenced. Then the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals narrowed but upheld what Barrett, writing for the majority, called a sweeping preliminary injunction in September of twenty twenty three. Barrett then wrote, the Fifth Circuit was wrong to do so. The people, by the way, are people that you've heard quite a bit about, Jay Badikaria, Martin Kohldorf, Aaron Karrioate Gateway pundit, and one

person I don't know. Health activist Jill Hines argued that the censorship they experienced on social media could be tied to government action, and that they're also likely to be censored in the future. Barrett said they did not show specific causation, and they did not show that the moderation was tied to the government. Did she not look at the evidence at all? His Twitter files were very,

very clear what was happening with it. She said that the relationship of the government to these social media's companies is more complex, and this lawsuit glossed over those complexities. We talk about projection. That's exactly what she did. She glossed over the censorship. She glossed over the censorship by corporate proxy, the coercion, and the cronyism to destroy the First Amendment. She glossed over all of those quote unquote complexities. They're not complex, They're right out there

for people to see. So this is it was simple, clear direct censorship. And she refuses, and the majority of the Supreme Court refuses to pay attention to that. This is why I say judicial supremacy is a very bad idea. It was never the intention of the founders. It was usurped in Marbury versus Madison, and Jefferson said, well that's it, you know,

I destroy the Constitution, and they have over and over again. The record reflects that the government defendants played a role in at least some of the platform's moderation choices, but the Fifth Circuit, by attributing every Platform decision at least in part to the defendants, glossed over complexities and the evidence, said Barrett. So she said that they did play a role in at least some of

these platforms moderation choices, moderation, it's censorship. How many times does Facebook have to censor somebody at the request of the Department of Justice or to be censorship? I'd like to know what is the level? How many times? He says, Well, at least some of these they did do that? Okay, Well, what's the number? Is it five times? Is it ten times? Is it fifteen times? Before you care that it's censorship? I think once is enough, isn't it? So she said the plaintiffs must

demonstrate their own standing for each claim against each defendant. Now you just have to say that it's being done. But I don't think there's a problem with that anyway. Alito said the court is shirking their duty, permitting the successful campaign a coercion to stand as an attractive model for future officials. He said, there is and he wrote thirty four pages. He said, there is

a vast that was his term, a vast record of evidence. The shows that federal officials communicate with social media platforms about so called misinformation and relevant to the Kennedy case because it's still in the Children's Heelf Defense article where they say, yeah, our case is still coming up. They said, our record

includes specific evidence that Biden officials sought to censor tweets by RFK Junior. For example, the White House specifically targeted Kennedy's January the twenty second, twenty twenty one tweet about the then recent death of a Baseball Hall of Famer Hank Aaron, eighteen days after he publicly received the MODERNA vaccine. So they said, well, you know, we got evidence saying shutdown RFK Junior. It was

not a generalized thing. So quite this is not a conservative court, and Trump didn't put in conservative justices when two of the three of them were constantly making the wrong decision, and not even Gorsich is completely reliable. But it's gone to the point where Amy, Coney, Barrett, and Kavanaugh are completely unreliable, just like John Roberts. So again statists Amy doesn't have a brain, Kavanaugh basically does, I'm with him, you know, type of thing

with Roberts. Alito's descent included lengthy summary of the dubious actions taken by the federal government to induce social media companies thirty four pages of it. He said, in some of the officials wielded potent authority, their communications with Facebook were virtual demands, and Facebook's quavering responses to those demands show that it felt a strong need to yield. Well, I'm glad that they're not yield, but

still, your god given rights are not up for a vote. You see, we don't we have If we have a republic, then your rights can't be taken away by a majority of the people like they can in a democracy. But if we don't have a republic, then a majority of political appointees wearing black robes can take away your rights as they see fit. We're gonna take a break. You're listening to the David Knight show. Well Guard Goldsmith

says this opinion was one of the most disingenuous and factually empty Scotis decisions I've ever read. Well, that's because way good way to describe it their Guard. That's because it was written by a disingenuous, actually an empty person Barrett. He also says the velvet clad glove of regulatory attack, section two thirty of the and the FCC all were behind the government pushing the social media sites to conform the ever present threat. Yeah, you know, yeah, it

is amazing. It truly is amazing, and it's how they twist everything too right. It is interesting to see that, you know, they would always use FIS on that section two thirty stuff. FAISO was supposed to stop the the tracking of people, and yet they use these that they now use it as the court to give them legal cover to do exactly what the intention was. The intention was to stop the CIA and the NSA from spying on Americans, which they had been doing from their inception right after World War Two.

So now they use the PISA Bill and the FISA Court as legal cover to do what they were always doing. But now they took the thing that was supposed to prohibit it and they use it as legal cover. That's the way they always turned this thing around. Brian and Deb McCartney. It is conservative court, all right. Yeah, that is a big con Jason Barker, I got several emails in the past twenty four hours about changes to terms of service in some accounts. I wonder if this decision is why. I don't

know, I don't know. Syrian girl, remember when they were pushing Barrett as a conservative Catholic mother of a large family. The lies just keep on

coming. I remember that, you know, all of the stuff that was put out publicly about her, I thought, oh, you know, she's I was actually I felt like she was a much better possibility of being an outsider than Kavanaugh because they talked about the fact that, you know, she I think she didn't go to Georgetown or something like that, which most of these people have, and so I thought, well, maybe, you know, there's more of a hope for that. And yet right away she started

making decisions about lockdown and closing churches and stuff. Oh yeah, you know, here is this woman who's all about family, all about being a Christian and so forth, all the things that were told, and she's shutting down churches and voting for that kind of stuff. They're just awful. Don't frag me. Bro says, how can we be denying women's rights if we don't know what a woman is? That's right, Well, it's that is Their

big problem is. Then, as I said the other day, you got the t's versus everybody, including the LGBs, because the t's are at war with biological women and have been all along a very bitter war with biological women. And then of course you've got the g's, the gays who said there's a gay gene. They were saying that everything was biological, so you know, that's the basis for having homosexual marriage and things like that. But then

the t's come along and say, no, there's nothing biological. It's all in our minds. Gender is a mental construct, and so they're odds with the g's. And then when you go the bees, the bees are bisexual. What does by mean? That means two means there's two sexes. Oh, the trainees think there's a gazillion of them. It's just it's strange. I don't know how they well, they just lie, you know, how

do they keep this coalition together? They lie about it? DG eight, David Trump, POMPEII, Cotton, Tame, Scott, Rubio, Stefanik all want to prosecute whistleblowers? Yes, how is that draining the swamp? And all of them are Trump's potential vps. You're absolutely right. Don't frag me bro So as a judge that doesn't know the history of our founding. What a POS doesn't know and doesn't care? Yeah, if you're going to ask somebody the Constitution, just just read it out to them, you know,

just just recite first Amendment. I would think, you know, if I was going to be a Supreme Court justice, I think I would be able to at least memorize the Bill of Rights because it's so important. They don't because it's not important to them. Guard Goldsmith Alito nailed it. He cited examples, specific and direct thirty four pages of it, and he noted the overall threat that inspired the changes in social media terms of service quote unquote.

Guard Goldsmith also says this decision is one of the worst than the last half century. I agree. I agree. And you know, if if you'd had two votes that switched, if these two Trump judges had gone the right way, they would have had a five to four majority, because you know, Roberts is going to go with the squad that's there staring girl. They are an embarrassment. The worst decision the Founding Father made was the establishment of the Supreme Court, and many of them saw the danger I pose at the

time. The Supreme Court is the greatest enemy of our constitution has ever faced, and they continually get away with destroying this country from the inside, tearing it down constitutional right by right. I agree, we're going to get rid of this idea of judicial supremacy, and we have to have the only way to stop this is that the state level. And what are the dynamics of all this? How did they get away with all this? Well, the

Congress has abdicated its legislative ability to the bureaucracy. And then what's even worse is that they all pretend that a rule from the bureaucracy doesn't come with due process or constitutional protector build rights protections. They say, well, that's a rule, and so whether it's the irs or whether it is the EPA, or whether it's the ATF, you are guilty and you have to prove your

innocence. That's why they call it civil asset forfeiture when they steal your property and don't even charge you with a crime, let alone get a conviction on you. And so you have no protection against successive fines, you have no

presumption of innocence, you have no due process. Because our elected legislators that were all so worried are we going to have a majority of Republicans or Democrats, we're also worried about that, Well, they kick everything over to the bureaucracy, and so we have representation, we have taxation as well as regulation without representation. And it's been that way for a long time. And then when you get to Congress and you get to the president, just as we

saw with Trump and DACA, that was a political hot potato. He had promised people he's going to do something about DACA, that he was going to end it, maybe even deport the people who were here under DOCA, because if you stop deferring action, that means that they would deport the people who were young and who had come here when they were young and come here and stayed illegally. He didn't want to have to do that, so he kicked it to the Supreme Court, which again got it all wrong and gave but

gave him legal cover so that he didn't have to do it. He could pretend that he couldn't do it because the all powerful Supreme Court wouldn't let him. So we have to have people at the state level who are going to say, well, Supreme courts had their ruling, let's see them enforce it,

which is what Andrew Jackson said. And he was wrong on the issue but he was right on the principle when he was talking about the removal of the cherokey rational lampoon or terms of use, also known here now as slipped this ever more restrictive and exploitative noose around your subjugate sheeple's next, Yeah, Guard Goldsmith, The Bartt opinion is insulting to the great Barrington folks, the concept of free speech and limited federal powers, and it opens the door for

more fascism speech influence Octo spooks says media acting as criminal proxies for criminals embedded in American government. Absolutely yeah, and searing girl. I'm sure Barrett was too busy taking care of all of her conservative Catholic children to take out to take time out to read the evidence refers to amendment infringement. What she's doing? What these people besides besides not caring where the Constitution says, they don't

give the impression of intellectual heavyweights. They're pretty lightweight in terms of the stuff that they put out there as well. Somebody who's really come into his own I think is Clarence Thomas. Thomas and Alito are solid for the most part. They occasionally get something wrong that or something that I disagree with, but they've been pretty solid, and there is a big back and forth and a lot of resentment from and bad blood between Amy Cony Barrett and Clarence Thomas.

And she's got a lot of things wrong. There's some other Supreme Court things that I might get into later today, but I wanted to move on before I run out of time to climate stuff. Brandon Bennett, thank you very much for the tip. I appreciate that, and again I apologize to everybody for not going through and totaling everything up and updating the gas gage. We're getting right up to the last minute here, and I really do appreciate everybody

rallying around. As Marty said he was going to match the contributions. It's just I was exhausted. I needed to get one night where I got more than six hours of sleep, so I turned in early last night. Older comments here, we got DG eight David. Unfortunately, ninety plus percent of the Trump cult will never accept that he did anything wrong in twenty twenty under COVID Tyrney. That's right. I know. I've had these discussions with people.

I've even had discussions with people face to face who had not listened to my program. But you know, I try to make same points with them. They just don't want to hear it. Do not obey says we can't see beyond the left right paradigm. Stop participating as a collective. Yeah, Nigete Levin says, it's not a dwopoly, it's monopoly with the WWF. Spinyah professional wrestling. Well, we have seen the bird flu going for what we all know is the next thing to shut down meat and day. They've

said it's about shutting down meat and dairy for quite some time. And so now we have had the we've had the legislator legislature in Denmark. They have not passed the law, but it has begun the process. And here's the headline. Flatulent cows, sheep and pigs face the world's first carbon tax in Denmark. I gotta say, I think there's really only one appropriate response to

this kind of nonsense. I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food troup whopper, I fart in your general directions. Your mother was a hamster and your father smete of elaborates. Is there someone else up there we can talk to? No? Now go away, or I shall talk you a second time. If you do not agree to my commands, then I shall. Yeah, the farmers in Denmark need to get themselves coutapult. They don't need to throw cats at them. Let's give them

the real thing there. So look, we're talking about this last night, and Whistler, who's running the board, said, I thought that it was about stopping the industrial revolution? Right. Why are they now trying to get rid of these animals that have always been around? You know? Is that the car is at the gas range and all these other things that they've been

hectoring us about. It's cows. Seriously, Like I said, you know, they want to get rid of not just everything in the Industrial Revolution, they want to get rid of our agrarian society because folks, they want to get rid of us. The ultimate goal is to starve us, to kill us. That's what these zero people are all about, all of these agendas, zero this and zero that. It's all about shutting us down. Wessler says, they're taxing farting cows, but I think it'll be the farmers who

pay it. Do they think calling a tax on cows sounds better than taxing farmers? Yeah? I guess they have absolutely no shame. They don't mind people talking about a fart tax. The absurdity of this stuff. It is Monty python will one. We ought to just catapult the cows right back at the legislature. That's kind of what they're doing. When you look at the riots that are breaking out in Kenya, it was eco austerity and they said, we're not having any more of this stuff. What is going to be

the tipping point or the cows? Will the cows be the tipping point? Caut tipping. People have always had these, always had these animals. Why are they pretending that this is now somehow an existential threat to us? What an absurdity, just like this bird flu stuff, And they're incessant focus on cattle and Redfield. Trump's propaganda meister out there saying, oh, it's inevitable, it's going to happen to humans, and it's inevitable that's going to be

twenty five to fifty percent casualties. Well, then you know, imagine that if people are going to buy that, then we're going to do something even more draconian than what they did with COVID, because COVID didn't need to come anywhere close to it. We had respiratory casualties and that stuff about one tenth of a percent, just like with flew and it was the hospital protocols that

was killing people. As of twenty thirty, Danish livestock farmers will face a punitive financial imposition of excuse me, forty three dollars per ton of carbon dioxide. And so, I guess my question was how many unicorn farts make up a ton of carbon? Well, they've got an answer quite frankly, they've already thought this through. They said that a Danish cow amidst six tons of carbon per year. But you need next need to find out is that laden

or unladen A tax will increase and more than double. It'll go up to one hundred and eight dollars by twenty thirty five. So by twenty thirty it's going to be forty three dollars. Then they're going to rapidly take it up to one hundred and eight by twenty thirty five. However, because of an income tax deduction of sixty percent, the actual cost per ton will start at seventeen dollars and increase in twenty thirty. So okay, so it's a tax,

but then we give you a tax deduction. Is that acceptable? Well, actually, they've already tried this in New Zealand. New Zealand, where by the way, they have more sheep than they do people. They have a lot of deer there, so much of that. I think they've got now more deer than they do sheep because they have massive exports of venison to Germany. But when they tried that with the New Zealand farmers, they got the law passed, and then the New Zealand farmers undid it. None of

this stuff is written in stone, none of it is in concrete. We don't have to obey any of this stuff. You look at what happened, and you know this is in Denmark and neighboring Netherlands. They threw Mark Ruta out. Now, of course, you know where does a disgraced politician globalist go to NATO. He's going to be the head of NATO, so he's going to still be at war with everybody. We'll take a big step closer and becoming climate neutral. In twenty forty five, they said, folks,

this is utter nonsense. And you can spell that with t's or with d's. Either way, it is absolute garbage and I no longer want to talk to you people about about any of this stuff. This is, this is doesn't rise to the level even of debate. Just got to shut them down. Denmark will be the first country in the world introduce a real CO two tax on an unreal threat. No, that's they're saying that it's a real CO two tax on agriculture, and we hope that other countries will follow suit.

Again when New Zealand did, it was put in when they had that globless jab Senda Arden and she's gone. But she wanted to tax the and get rid of farms. Sounds like that's what you want to do. Yep, yep, that's what I want to do. She's the one that it sounds like you're gonna have two classes of people vaccinate, non vaccinated. Yep,

yep, that's what it is. Yep, yep. Well, we've got two classes of people, people like her and then the rest of us who, for at least the time being enough, people are just passively going along and ignoring what is really going on with this stuff. And when we look at this, what is the matter with these people? They're now looking at uh, we don't need cows. We don't need meat, and we don't need dairy, and we don't need eggs, and we don't need chickens.

You know what we need. We need skin for the robots, full terminator stuff. And these people are absolutely insane and big bucks. This is coming from Harvard University, so you know this is being funded by the military industrial complex on the people like that. Don't frag me, bro So here's the deal. I'll spend twenty four hours in a closed garage with a cow. Bill Gates can spend twenty four hours in a close garage with a running

car. Let's see who walks out in the morning. Yeah, kW hay sixty eight, says Scotis is a sixty three, but it isn't conservative. Trump's picks were as awful as he is. Yeah, Brandon Bennett, my Trump or dad thinks I'm a Democrat while he swallows all the excrement from the New York Democrat idol. Yeah that's true. Yeah people, Oh, you you're a libertal Democrat. You don't like Trump? Con think, says tonight's debate drinking game. Take a shot every time one of the candidates puts forward

an incoherent sentence, or if you really want to get trunk. Every time Trump refers to himself, it will all be about him, everything about it will be him. Better get some extra bottles and get the ambulance service on call right ready to pick you up, because you're going to have alcohol poisoning if you play that game. So you know, what is the problem with

these people? What is the problem with darpar and government? Right? These people, it's the same groups of people, the technocracy that wants to destroy our cars, our homes, our air conditioning, our food supply, and yet they want faces and skin for robots. As a matter of fact, this is what it looks like. Look at this is really creepy. Here it is smiling for you. Oh, there you go. It's got some

little manufactured eyes in there. Yeah, they've managed to create a cultured mix of human skin cells grown in a collagen scaffold and placed on top of a three D printed resin base. Are human like robots something that we should aim for? Well, PC gamer thinks, yeah, maybe they said. These staring eyes, why does it have eyes? This rictus grimace, this stretching skin just made me feel rather queasy and I'm more and tad unnerved, says

a writer. I wasn't the only one in the office to fight the urge to torch it all before there was any chance of it being wrapped around a metal skeleton and then romping around with murderous intent. Leaving aside the nightmare inducing robot faces, there's some really good science going on behind all this. They say, oh, well it's for science, then yeah, absolutely support that.

At the moment, mechanical actuators were required to make the face, But the authors of the research paper behind the studies say that if we substitute them with cultured muscle tissue, it presents an intriguing prospect in the realization of a higher degree of biommetics. You know, we're back to where Michael Crichton was with Jurassic Park. Just because you can do something doesn't mean that you should,

right. That was the whole point of that book. If artificial skin and flesh can be perfected, then it's not just the world of that can benefit, but also cosmetics. Cosmetics. Are we going to have celebrities that look like this? I think we've already got a lot of celebrities that look kind of like that. We've had so much plastic surgery and pharmaceutical research into drugs administered via the skin. These people can't come up with any reason to

do this. Oh, well, we could have plastic surgery, or we could have no way to administer drugs into the skin. You got to do a little bit better than that. Is that examining the correlation between facial muscle contractions and resulting facial expression can offer insights into the physiological aspects of emotion, leading to new exploration and the treatment of diseases such as facial paralysis, surgery. And the terminator was designed to help little old ladies go across the street.

What is the Department of the Defense Advanced Research Projects doing right? Defense Advanced Research Projects DARPA. Why are they involved in this kind of stuff? Why are they involved in mind control and brain control and all the rest of this. Well, it's a rhetorical question. These people are monsters, and they're creating monsters, and they're doing it and getting obscenely rich doing it off

of us. They are using this while the city sleeps. As Chicago said in their lyrics, men are scheming new ways to kill us and tell us dirty lies. Let's have at least one technological advancement that doesn't masquerade as a fellow human being. Can we do that? They said, just leave the robots metal. James Cameron is no mere filmmaker, but he is a genuine profit of the future. They said, no, you want a profit of the future. You want to know where this is all leading. Go read

Ted Kaczynski's Unibomber manifesto. He laid it all out there, just like James Cameron, but a little bit more explicitly. And then we go to the Paris Olympics. The Olympic village will not allow air conditioning there, and so the US is going to bring its own air conditioning units byac because they said that air conditioning is a very high priority for its athletes to reach peak performance. Well, you know they're going to Paris, but they're not going to

play by the Paris Climate Accord rules. What would that entail. Well, if they played by the same rules of the Paris Climate Accord, that would mean that, yes, the US would still not be allowed to have air conditioning, but athletes from China and India would because that's what they do under the Pairs Climate Accord. They take the most populous countries on Earth and let

them have as many power plants without any cleaning or filtering or anything. It could be as dirty as they want, and they can make as many of them as they want, while the rest of us have to get rid of ours. So if they were to play in the Paris Olympics by those rules, only the Chinese and the Indians would get air conditioning. Everybody else would have to sweat it out. And then we have this from the Guardian as they are pushing the lies about global warming, the headline why pregnant people are

more at risk during heat waves. Pregnant people? Who would that be? Yeah, again, we're back to Brown Jackson and the pregnant people think that she wrote in her decision. It's ridiculous and it's especially everything about this Guardian article is ridiculous. The fear mongering, the non science of their sky is falling, the climate change stuff. I mean, it's all chicken little, isn't it. The bird flu is chicken little, The heat is chicken little.

They're about to have an election on the fourth of July next week in the UK. Labor is way out ahead, it's about two to one over the Conservative Party. I saw they had a debate. There's a lot of different parties running in the election, and of course they are pulling in the two top positions, but it's pretty much a dead heat statistically between the Conservatives

and Reform. They should have at least had a three way there. Can you imagine if it had Nigel Farage on with Rishi Sunak and Kirstnama Starmer, that would have been something to say. He would have eaten their lunch for sure. But now Labor, which again is the favorite to win about two to one, where both Conservatives and Reform are. If they were Conservatives that get out of the way, Reform might be able to win this thing, but Labor looks like it's going to win. They're going to create an Office

of net zero, an Office of net zero. Just call it the Department of Nihilism, because that's what this is. They're going to push the green agenda. As Daily Skeptic says, I'm sorry, this is bite part in the mad dash towards eliminating carbon emissions in Britain. Labor Party leader care Starmer's transition team, headed by a former top bureaucrat and chief of staff for Starmer, will look to establish an office of net zero, so you know,

I have zero tolerance for all this zero nonsense that is out there. Zero is just a code word for destroying everything. They want to destroy all of our material wealth, They want to destroy all of our food, They want to destroy all of our liberty, want to destroy all of us. It's ultimately about depopulation. They use zero to strip us. And yet it's these emperors who have no clothes. When are we going to stop this stuff?

And it's told them to go pound sand and Richie Sunak has already established the Department for Energy Security and net zero last year. So again Conservatives are there before even Labor. The only difference is that their office has an oversight role, while the envisioned Office of zero by Labor will make their office more active in policy. So there you go, the unit party just like we have here, the only difference being in the speed at which they put it out

there. Whichever party is in there first, usually it would be the left that would move things forward, and then the conservatives will make that the new normal. Right, they will make that the new baseline. It's like a ratcheting effect. You're never going to go back. But we're going to lock that in. Okay, you guys raise the minimum wage up to here. Well, we're not going to move the minimum wage when we get in backwards. We're not going to get rid of the minimum wage. We're just going

to oppose any increase in the minimum wage from this point on. But we'll leave everything that you did in place. That's always the way that it is. It's a ratcheting effect. In this particular case, it was the Conservatives who did it. First. They create a net zero bureaucracy, and then

the left gets in and they will make it more involved in policy. This unit party approach has been challenged by the pro energy approach of Nigel Frauda's Reform UK, which has vowed to cut all green subsidies, all crony capitalism, which they claim could save the taxpayers thirty billion dollars or thirty billion euros rather per year the next twenty five years. But see what's going to happen with that is that you know, the people who are going to get taxed.

There's thirty billion euros are I'm sorry not euros are pounds? People are going to have to pay that for each of them. It's going to be thousands of dollars perhaps, and that's a lot of money, but it's going to be spread out over perre time. The people are going to fight tooth and nail for this are the people of the few people who are going to get the thirty billion pounds they will, They stand to have this, they've got the biggest incentive, and they're going to fight the hardest for this. And

this is why government continues to increase. Well look at this and it's like, well, you know, we got to stop this. This is unjust and it's corrupt, and it's going to make the government worse and more centralized and stronger and all these other things. But you know, I've got all these things that I've got to do, and you know, it's what is it going to cost me. If it was going to take out your business, it's going to shut down your farm or something, yeah, you do

something about it. But if it's only going to raise your taxes, most people don't take the time to do it. But the people who are going to get the money from everybody, from everybody, they are going to fight tooth and nail to get that stuff. Farage the Reform Party, not Forage but his party said net zero. It is pushing up bills, it's damaging

British industries like steel, and it's making us less secure. We can protect our environment with more tree planting, more recycling and less single use plastics. See this is the bad part though, Even the Reform Party is out there playing by the rules. And Christopher Monckton, I'll get to this coming up here. Christopher Moncktin says, if you're going to play by their rules,

you've lost already. So you don't use their labels, you don't let them frame the debate, you don't try to craft a policy that is going to be setting on top of their shifting sands. You've got to get to bedrock foundation of truth. That means you don't play this emission games. Well, you know this would actually be fewer emissions if we were to do this. We must not impoverish ourselves in pursuit of unaffordable, unachievable Global CO two targets,

they say. Reform is also called for fast track licenses for companies to drill for natural gas and oil in the North Sea. The party would also open up shale gas fracking test sites for two years and then pursue major production after safety and local compensation schemes are implemented. Frauger's party went on to call for a push toward clean nuclear energy, particularly with the creation of new small,

modular nuclear reactors in Britain. Of course, that would be the move to try to make common cause with the people who are standing to make a lot of money. Even the Hillary Clinton people and the Arnold Schwarzenegger people and Larry Fink, all of them are now pushing towards small nuclear reactors. So it's kind of a no brainer to throw that carrot out to them. Corporations

that concede the science are doomed, Christopher Monckton. And here's an example, he says, by and it's not just corporations, it's us as well. If we're going to concede this quote unquote science, we're doomed. If you concede that there is a virus that it leaked out of the lamb, oh, we got to do something about it. Maybe that's maybe we should take the vaccine. Maybe we should rush this thing out. You accept their lies and their false premises. If you start fretting about CO two or nitrogen or

plastics, kind of word for you have plastics. If you start following that, how can we minimize that stuff? You've already lost by three votes to two, he says. The UK Supreme Court ruled last week in one hundred page judgment that the Surrey County Council, in granting planning consent to UK Oil and Gas for oil production at horse Hill Surrey, had neither requested nor considered in their assessment an estimate of the CO two emissions from third parties combusting the

three point three million barrels of oil. But horse Hill Field might produce over its lifetime. And so now the company says, now they've lost the Supreme Court. They said, well, we'll work closely with the Surrey County Council directify the situation. We will do an amendment to the environmental impact Assessment or whatever. We'll have a new retrospective application, will try again. But he says, you know, if you're going to play this game, you're going

to lose. He said, out of the one hundred pages of the judgment, there was only one page that discussed the facts, only one page out of one hundred. He said. The reason is that, as usual, the corporations behind the project did not dare to argue against the science, don't question any assumptions about CO two or global warming or any of that. No, Instead, they tamely accepted the party line. As a direct result of their failure to get to grips with either the physics or even the economics of

global warming, they lost the case. The judgment made no attempt to calculate how much global warming the ten million tons of CO two emitted by Horsehill Project over its lifetime would cause. He said, So, let's do something in this case that nobody did, least of all the judges. He said, Let's do the math. He said, So, let's start with a ten point seven million tons of CO two emitted either directly or indirectly by the project.

But this value must be reduced right at the outset, because, as the judgment says, if the oil at horse Hill is not extracted, some forty percent of the unextracted oil will be extracted somewhere else. So again, knock that out, and then we take a look at the mass of the atmosphere, he said, according to NASA in twenty twenty two, that is five point one times ten to the fifteen tons, And he says, in the current CO two concentration as measured is four hundred and twenty seven parts per

million. Therefore, the total mass of CO two in the air, and he works this out as the number of tons it is, and so he says, the reduction in CO two concentration by not proceeding with a horse Hill project would be this number. I'm not going to read all the numbers to you because you can't follow that when we're doing this verbally. Anyway, he says, the radiative forcing from a change in CO two concentration would be this number. And if we want to convert watts per square meter to warming a

beta, then we do this. The bottom line, he says, that is before we allow for the fact that the decatal rate of global warming in the third of a century since the IPCC in nineteen ninety has been half of what it was then and still is predicted. So half of what they predicted. So let's make that less than one three hundred thousandth of a degree, or just one third of one percent of the one to one thousandth of a degree that would be abated if the UK actually attained net zero emissions by twenty

fifty, which it will not. In other words, he runs out all these different fact Let's just take a look at how much CO two are we talking about. It's nothing. And even if you run their estimates, which are consistently wrong, use their math and show that it is going to be less than one three hundred thousandth of a degree change, it's absolutely ridiculous and

we just need to put some cows in the catapults and shoot them. At this point, scarcely a day passes in the UK without the Met Office announcing another record temperature. But how many of its weather stations are next to airports and solar farms? He says. Every day the Met Office This is from Chris Morrison publishes the highest recorded temperature for a number of areas across the four countries in the United Kingdom, England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland every day.

Many of the same sites feature at the top of the various local lists. Last week in Scotland, the measuring station at Edinburgh Botanic Gardens, Glasgow and others featured four days out of seven, along with another one that was up for three days. In England, he throw in Hull Park, Hull East Park, We're joined by Killowin on four days, along with Usk, Durham and Pershore College on three. He said, could it be a coincidence that on such a large island the hottest days more often than not occur in

very specific geographical locations. How can it be that it's always the same for three or four days out of seven, the highest temperature is always in the same places and nowhere else, right, he said, just a few places are so blessed. Well, it's not a coincidence, he said. The obvious clue is if you look at Heathrow and Hull Park East. Heathrow, of course is an airport, and that picture right there, let's goll it down a little bit more so that red dot, that's where the temperature reading

is. It's right there next to a massive solar farm of heat island that is right there. So you know, when we talk about man made global warming, could it be that what is man made about it is our temperature readings. Could it be that what's man made about it is that they put their thumb on the scale, get what they want, and then even when they put it up on the maps. I've seen several articles talking about how the BBC has changed the colors. They made everything more red, you know,

so you have the highest temperatures. Oh they're really blood red. But even the ones that they pull them down, you know, and then never get off of anything less red than orange to scare people, make them think how hot it is, and they showed the colors that they used to use. It's just every bit of it is about propaganda. Someone of a suspicious mind this article might think that they're deliberate adding these junk sites simply to make

current UK temperatures artificially higher. Yeah, someone might think that if they had a suspicious mind. I think I did. Eric, Thank you very much for the tip. Thank you very much. Jim's Jim Z seven says they always violate their own rules. How many gigawatts of energy are wasted by the NFL, by Major League Baseball, by NBA games, that's right, And by CBDC, by the NSA, by the CIA, by their data sites,

by their constant surveillance everywhere. I wonder how much energy they could say, but just getting rid of all these cameras that they're putting up everywhere. But then of course it's the big computer centers where they store everything that everybody does on the internet, storing it for the day in which they have quantum computing and will have the ability to quickly go through and correlate everything and completely profile each and every one of us Risha. And they already tax farmers for

every single head of livestock. It's bs. They want to put them out of business. That's the thing, you know again. It's also though about killing us all because if it was just about the money, people like Bill Gates will be out there buying up every single farm now he's bought a lot of farm land up, not going anything on it. They just want to shut down our food supply. Tomic dogs so it COWI emits six tons of carbon per year. That's thirty three pounds of dung and gas. I would

argue that minor has value and it's not polluting. And I would argue that this is something that has always gone on. And this is if you're trying to tell us that we've got some new existential problem. Why didn't that Why wasn't that a problem during the agrarian period or all through the Industrial revolution. This is nothing that's new, you know again, They got that, oh

we've got to get rid of the cars. The cars are destroying everything, and the factories are destroying it. No now, now they're coming after cattle that have always been there. If we didn't have ac where I live, says Atomic Dog, there'd be a lot of dead people. Yeah. And you can even see that when takes a power out in Florida to see people. A lot of elderly people in nursing homes die from that, just like

for years after. Germany was one of the first places to start ramping up the price of energy with all these green mandates, and so retired people who were on a pension cutting afford to pay for it. So they were shutting it down and they were getting sick and dying from the cold. So you know that's the thing, extreme cold, extreme heat, And it's not just about the quality of life, it's even about life expectancy. Cheap available energy

affects the quality and the quantity of life. Ap rumble seat. They will tax us next on exhalation of each breath. Pay to exist or else, Yeah, Atomic Dog. Our Electric company offered free smart thermostats. They failed to tell people that they could control them. People started coming home to eighty five degree homes. That program was scrapped. What a shocker. Yeah, divided and that's their intention to you know, with electric cars, they want

to use your electric car as a battery for their grid. They'll tell you when and if you can drive. Divided States CBDC will be the end of freedom. When the state controls whether or not you can spend your money. They have suspended. They have you suspended by the throat unless you are self sufficient. It's absolutely right. We're going to take a quick break and we will be right back. You're listening to the David Knight Show. Well,

as they add solar and they add wind everywhere. Of course, the follow up to that is that they have to add battery energy storage sites, and you know, they tend to have fires. I talked about this briefly, but I didn't show the pictures of it. In South Korea. This is what it looked like when a lithium battery plant caught fire. At least sixteen people died in it. It's very difficult, of course, to put out these very you know, radical fires that are there. They have. Here's

a news report about their efforts to put this out. Now, a large fire is burning at a lithium battery plant in South Korea. One person's confirmed dead and at least twenty one others are unaccounted for. More than one hundred and forty firefighters have been sent to the factory to try to stop the spread of the blaze, but fire Achie say it's impossible for cruise to enter because

battery cells are constantly exploding. Let's get more on this and talk to Unis Kim so, he joins us on the phone from just south of the capital Soul unit. So this sounds like a pretty big fire. At what more

can you tell us? Right, Darren? The Hassan Fire Department and holding their first briefing on this blaze, confirming that the fires first casualty, and they are also trying to assertain how many people are trapped inside, with the twenty one unreachable at this hour, as you noticed, so that casually count will lightly creep up. Firefighters have been struggling to even get inside of the

three story structure as the blaze raging since this morning. Is believed to hold tens of thousands of lythion ion batteries, which burns hotter and for longer than traditional batteries. Yeah, As a matter of fact, the numbers are thirty five thousand battery sells on just the second floor where the batteries are inspected and packaged, with more stored elsewhere. Now, if we're going to back up

the grid, we're going to have massive battery energy storage sites. And if you don't want to see this happening in your neighborhood where there's going to be trees and maybe your home, we got to do something about these idiots who are doing that, and who have absolutely no concern about the cost of electricity. They'll just pass it on. Of course, nothing is too expensive to

save the planet, right, we don't care about that. Here in Tennessee, the TVA is talking about putting in these big battery energy storage sites, these things that are put together by Musk, and they don't care what it's going to cost people, no concern. They don't care about the risk of fires either. About one hundred workers around the premises at the time, at

least twenty one dead. I should have gotten an update on this, because this came out a couple of days ago, came out at the beginning of the week, and I have had it here and haven't talked about it. I wanted to show that before we went any further. They point out in this article from the BBC they said a lithium fire can re act intensively with

water, so firefighters had to use dry sand to extinguish the blaze. We need to tell these people when they say they want to put a battery energy storage site in our area, we need to tell them to pound sand before the thing catches fire. Because we be pounding sand afterwards. It took several hours to get it under control. Lithium batteries are risk of exploding if they're damage are overheated. While a fire can be extinguished, it remains at risk

of reigniting without warning due to a chemical reaction. Yeah, they're like the joke birthday candles. They keep relighting and we've seen this over and over again. We talk about electric vehicles that catch fire, and they use amazing amount of resources try to shut this stuff down. They finally get it on something and take it to the junkyard, think that it's out, and it starts

to catches fire again. A couple of days later, a Green Party leader admits that she has a gas boiler, Oh the shame, instead of a heat pump that amazing. Now, it's just hypocrisy. They want nothing for you. They will have everything, but you're the one who gets nothing about this. And so when we look at this, the approach that they're taking, it's always the same stuff. No meat, no dairy, no cows, no, no conveniences that you have in your home. Either. They

have to shut everything. Everything is going to be zeroed out, and we should have zero tolerance for this. Brandon Bennett says, I wonder is that David picking a guitar or is it samples? No, that's actually me playing Well, it's I guess it's a bit of a bit of both. In a sense. What happens is when you get these instruments, it's not it's not a loop that I'm putting in there. Uh. And so what it

is is you get different instruments. It might be a harp in this particular case, an Irish harp that you're just listening to, or a flute and you play it with a keyboard. Now the problem is, unless you've got a breath controller, which I don't have, you have to go back in you can play. Some of them are smart enough to are starting to get to the point where it can read the way that you're playing. If you play like really short, I'm sorry, they'll put in staccato or stock at

tissimo or something like that really short. But many times you have to go in with some of the different types of instruments, depending on how the instrument

is set up, and you have to. They'll they'll record these instruments and they'll take a particular instrument and they'll have people play all these different notes and they'll have them play it at different volumes because it may sound very different when you play it loudly and then when you play it soft, and then they will have them play long sustained notes, they'll have them play very short notes

and all that type of thing. And so it's kind of back and forth of trying to get from one articulation to another to make it sound right. And sometimes that can be done in the way that you play, or sometimes you have to do it after the fact if they have the stuff that's there. So it's really it's really playing the different pieces, different parts, one at a time to put the stuff in there. That's really the way that

it works. I had somebody else talk about this, you know, we had we had the piece that kind of stumped everybody for a while, and Will wrote this to me. He says, well, even though I was stumped, he said it was a lot of fun. This should be something you do on a regular basis. It adds some beauty and joy and levity to the podcast. By the way, I do have the score for the Cowboys the suite. The segment you played is sort of buried in the middle of the score, and that's right. And I got hung up on the

main title for getting that interlude. The opening title seems to borrow from Aaron Coplan's Rodeo. Yeah, that's true, you know, just like the Empire Strikes Back has some similarities to Mars from Gustav Holtz. So as anyway, many thanks for your hard work. Although we're unable to donate this time, you are in our prayers. I really do appreciate that, because it is God who ultimately provides. We really do appreciate if people are able to do

that. But that's why we want to leave it as a way that people can listen to it for free, if you know, if somebody is donating, we want to the one thing that I would like to be able to do that I can't do cleanly. We do it for the people on Subscribe Star. We give them the audio podcast without any commercials. But you know the way that a lot of the services do it, like Pandora. You can listen and have commercials, or you can pay a monthly fee and you

get it commercial free. Technical issues have kept us from figuring out how to exactly do that. But that's really where I would like to go, but we don't want to put it behind a complete paywall. So we're gonna take a quick break and I'll play the Cowboys the Yellowstone thing here. This is from John Williams soundtrack for The Cowboys. We'll be right back defending the American

Dream. You're listening to the David Knight Show. Well, Johnny Freedom writes, the green agenda is going to destroy the environment, absolutely truly. Sunset

like the strategy to leave the dead trees to start fires. Well, the first time I saw that, Even before the massive devastation that happened near Austin, close to where we lived, they had a state park there that had a lot of pine trees had been planted as part of FDR's make work projects back in the depression and they had grown to really nice forest and just before we moved there, they had a fire, and because they did not get rid of the dead trees and just left them there as fuel, it burned

almost one hundred percent of the forest down. It truly was amazing the devastation, and then spread on to private lands, killing cattle, destroying homes,

that type of thing. But prior to that, as we saw the picture there of Yellowstone a trip that we took out Yellowstone with a family back in I think it was two thousand and two, they'd had a big fire to even had threatened the Yellowstone Lodge. I don't know if they don't here, for that's the name of it, but it's this lodge and one of the first things that they built in Yellowstone, massive timbers and this log lodge that was there, and it nearly took that out and they were able to save

it and get the fire away from it. But we're driving along and it was nice, cool weather, and we rolled the windows down and we're just smelling the pines and then all of a sudden, oom, you hit this land, this line right as we got onto government land, and it was just devastated with a forest fire. Prior to that, it was the private land where people had been taking care of it, and then it got into

that saw it over and over again. Went to Oregon on a reporting trip with Travis and we talked to a logger who had had his private land destroyed by the negligence of the federal government. And this is something that I was told about by my uncle who was a forestry He said, the Forestry Department University Missouri and Columbia, and he was telling me about this in the seventies and what was going to happen to it, And so we've seen that all

along. Jason Barker says, the issue with lithium ion batteries is that they can produce very high current so that when they short out, they go into thermal runaway. No putting them out. Well, you know, it's just this unproven technology and in a market place, unless this is being coerced and forced down our throats as it is being done, it's the technology that would not be used. You know, people will be taking a look at some

other technologies. Every technology has got issues with it. They need to be solved. But we're only allowed to go one direction. Notice that right. They don't want to do anything with hydrogen electric cars, for example, which have no emissions. Either they put out a little bit of water vapor, but they don't want to build an infrastructure with it. And they discourage in many different ways people doing anything, whether they don't subsidize it, push it

like they do the evs. And I think the reason for that is because they want everybody on the grid. That's why they're focusing on this EV technology that people are not that happy with. They want to keep you on the grid. But you know, as we're talking about the neglect and the devastation that is done by their policies where they don't care about the environment, even though they call themselves environmentalists, it's really more of a religion for them,

and it's not about stewardship. You know. Used to that was another thing that my uncle always talked about and said, yeah, we just always talk about stewardship and conservation taking care of them land. These radical environmentalists, it's like this religious thing with them. Don't touch it. It's sacred right. And you know, we are put here. You know, God has put

together an amazingly complex world, and you know, night after night. It pours out speech, but it doesn't say anything but the you can see creation. You can see that it's designed. You can see how complex and complementary all these different systems are that God has put together. And you don't need to be told that it speaks for itself speaks silently. And all these people worship it as if it somehow came together by chance, and so it's very

special. You know, don't don't touch it at all. That's the that's the new age superstition. It really is. You know that the sacred earth gaya that you must bow down to be careful, you know, don't leave a footprint there. It's not about This is a very different approach than what we get out of the Bible. That God has created this, He's built it, he sustains it. But we are here to work it, to till it, to make it sustainable, and to maintain it. You know,

we're kind of the maintenance crew for what God has created. They don't look at it like that at all. Soaker Joe Too says, there is no such thing as self sufficient. If you don't pay your taxes, they'll seize your property. If you don't submit to the new money system, you won't be able to pay your taxes. Well, again, I think that it is. I think that if we were to do something locally, I

think it really would make a difference. But it has to be a lot of people who are awakening to this, or you have to keep a low profile. One guy that I knew back in North Carolina said, well, if it all hits the fan, I know how to survive on my own. I can go without any fingerprint. And he says, they'll never find me. So I mean that's one way to look at it. In terms

of being self sufficient, you'd have to have absolutely nothing. I guess, don't frag me, bro will We will all have to make a choice as to what hill we're willing to die on, especially when they collapse the system and force biochip implants. That's right, there will be a point, and you know we've reached that point in the Netherlands, in New Zealand other places like that. The farmers said, okay, that's enough, that's enough.

You see it with the farmers, you see it with the truckers. You're going to see it with people who actually are the ones that we really rely on, that do the real work, that do the heavy lifting, that do the real stuff. Everybody else is you know, on top of that and maybe being paid more than those people who are doing the vital stuff. But they are the foundational thing. They can bring it all to a halt. They really can't. Atomic dog. I know. Dave's an engineer.

He understands the amazing amount of potential a lithium battery has. I've seen these batteries short and act at like a solid rocket propellant. Wow, impressive but dangerous. Yeah, it is true, it is amazing and when you look at the power and electricity. I remember working on my car in the foot

well. I was doing I think it was stereo stuff or something that was in high school, and I had not disconnected the battery when I was working, and I shorted something out there and it's big flash in my eyes and just vaporized some metal there and I'm thinking, wait a minute, that was only that was in high school. And it's like but that was like twelve voltes and I can put my fingers on it. But when you get something that's zero resistance, the battery has a lot of power involved in it.

So yeah, the lithium batteries. I've never played around with it things, but I imagine it is really something to behold. Is China hiding how much gold it really has? It's an article from Michael Mahari and Tony's not going

to be joining us today, but I do want to talk about that. I do want to talk about it as an excellent article on RT is not written by what was written by somebody for them, but it really goes into what's going on with the petro dollar and the reserve status of the US. But is China hiding how much gold it really has? The fact that the People's Bank of China, the central Bank, didn't buy gold in May is

certainly interesting, but it hardly counts as earth shaking news. Standing pat for one month doesn't mean that China has stopped buying gold, as some news outlets have framed it. Before that news, China had bought gold for eighteen straight months, and it ranked as the biggest central bank gold buyer in twenty twenty three. Officially, their central bank added more than three hundred tons of gold to its reserves during the buying spree. Many analysts have long thought that China

has far more gold than it officially reports. Jim Rickards pointed out on Mesa's Daily back in twenty fifteen that many analysts believe that China keeps several thousand tons of gold off the books and a separate entity called the State Administration a foreign exchange. They call it. That spells safe. They keep it in a safe. Chen Long is the founder and lead economist for a company called Plinim. He starts by pointing out that Chinese Central Bank gold purchases are a drop

in the bucket compared to the country's gold imports. The country imported over fourteen hundred tons of gold in twenty twenty three. This despite the fact that China ranks as the world's largest gold producer. Chinese mines dug up three hundred and

seventy five tons of gold and twenty twenty three that they admit. Yeah, and that's one of the things that Tony and I talked about many times, the fact that gold, how much gold they have, and all the different countries they guard that as a secret more so than they do the number and the location of their nuclear weapons. Why is that? And of course the amount of gold that they are adding to secretly that they mine. They're not going to talk about that either. In other words, there's a lot of

gold flowing into China and the country exports very little of it. Only a handful of commercial banks hold licenses to import gold due to the central banks type regulation of the market, so that allows them to kind of get a you know, ballpark guess as to what is going on with the central bank. When you dig into the numbers, total official gold holdings by the cent bank, retail buyers, and the big commercial banks only rose by four hundred and

thirty one tons last year. Total gold imports and production came in at seventeen hundred and seventy five tons, So that's a gap of more than thirteen hundred tons. Over the last two years, there have been about twenty seven hundred tons of gold unaccounted for. So where did that go? Long sided is common to see gaps between these figures, but they're usually within a few hundred tons at most. Such a huge gap like this is rare. So where is it? How do we account for the missing goal? Well, he

said, there's three possibilities. Number one, the Central Bank in China could have bought more gold than it reported. They've massively increased their goal position. If they have it, may want to withhold a full disclosure in order to avoid shocking the market. Second possibility is China's Sovereign Wealth Fund holds some of that missing gold. And a third possibility is that their numbers have been fudged. In other words, like most governments, they don't tell you the truth

or the whole truth. Chinese commercial banks may have overstayed the reduction in their gold holdings while household gold purchases were understated. So we don't really know what is happening with that, but we do know as we look at the United States, we gone from Fort Knox that had a lot of gold, and we're backing the US dollar to the petro dollar. As people realized that that was fraudulent, that were lying to people about that. It's interesting all the

talk about what happened to the petro dollar. The Atlantic did a retraction. It was widely reported over the last couple of weeks. Oh yeah, this petro dollar agreement disappeared. Well, as this RTA article points out, that agreement was a piece of fiction. The spurious reports appeared to have originate in

India or in crypto website investment websites. There was an official agreement between the US and Saudi Arabia that was signed in June of nineteen seventy four, and another secret one that was reached later that year, according to which the Saudis were promised military aid in exchange for recycling their oil proceeds in the US treasuries. The deal whereby Riod would sell its oil and dollars was informal and there

was no expiration date. That's what I was saying from the beginning. It's like, well, I know, okay, there's this agreement that you know, we give them weapons and we give them protection and they do all the trading in US dollars to help us to be the reserve global currency. But I've never seen the agreement, and nobody had any specifics about it. Turns out that there wasn't literally an agreement. It really grew up kind of de facto and organic as a lot of it was, and it was, but

it was based on this defense agreement, it said. This fit, however, points to an underlying truth of the petro dollar has entered a long twilight from which there will be no return. No other economic arrangement has done more to ensure American pre eminence over the last half century, and so it is being very heavily targeted and attacked by Russia, by China, by everybody who

is an enemy of what Karl Rove says is an American empire. So all the people who want to take down the empire, they're all focused on this. It's going to have massive economic consequences for all of us if we don't have at least a foot or something outside of the system. It's ultimately America is in ability an unwillingness to maintain this backing that is gradually dooming the system. In exchange for Green to sell their oil and dollars, Saudi Arabia became

a protectorate of the US military. Many people have seen this deal as a kind of godfather thing, making you an offer that you can't refuse. As we talked about before Kissinger Slessinger, it was a divinsive secretary. They openly talked about what they might do to take over the oil fields in case these in case we Opek tried to strangle the West, and as this RT article says, it apparently has worked out well for the saud East because, unlike

a lot of Arabic oil producing nations. There hasn't been a civil war there, there hasn't been a color revolution that the US does with their regime change operations. But now at this point, when you look at what the American government has done and what they're doing right now in terms of interest rates, they compare it to Paul Voker, very very high interest rates and drove the US into a deep recession and made everybody the lives a lot more difficult.

And they said it showed at that point in time, he really strengthened it when we got into the late seventies because he showed that he was willing to put the strength of the dollar over and above the US economy. And I think that's something that we're starting to see now made clear that international considerations, specifically the defense of the dollar, we're influencing American economic policy to a degree

that was unparalleled in the post war period. That's what the New York Times said about it, about Volker's policies, and so, in other words, they prioritized their dollar over our economy. And I think that is the type of thing that we've been seeing the opposite of well, we've seen parts of that, but as always, as Tony has said, it is about them preserving their fiat currency to the extent they can, because that is their power.

And so when it comes to politics or anything else, they're not necessarily going to drop the interest rates to help Biden. They're going to try to preserve their power. The perception was created at that time that the US is willing to subject its own economy to pain, as Vulcal put the US through two punishing recessions in order to preserve the value of the US dollar for all

global players. But then everything changed in the two thousands period in two thousand and three two thousand and eight when everything kind of blew up in two thousand and eight, at that point in time, oil moved to the top of its thirty year range. Over the next couple of years, WILL prices would rise steadily before peaking at one hundred and forty five dollars per barrel in July

of two thousand and eight. Another way to think about this is that a drop in the value of the dollar against oil an ominous development for those who were holding dollars and buying oil. And who is it that is the biggest importer of oil? China. So because this was a power, a big power of the United States, gave them their key part of their power, and because they were a big buyer of oil, China has been motivated to get rid of this in any way possible. And yet it was Biden who

really did it for them. So it's two thousand and eight. They've been looking for a way to weaken and to get rid of the dominance of the US dollar, and they wanted to be able to just print up print currency like we do in order to buy oil. And as they put it in this article, finally under Biden, the US obliged and did it for them.

In March of two thousand and nine, the head of the People's Make of China issued a boldly titled white paper called Reform the International Monetary System, and it called for a neutral reserve asset to replace the dollar centric system. China, the world's largest importer of oil, had made it clear this desire was to be able to purchase oil using its own currency that they could print. It also is cut back on buying US treasuries and been acquiring gold at

a blistering pace, both clear votes of no confidence in the dollar. But it's really just been within the last couple of years that Saudi Arabia has openly gone along with this, and other nations are going along with it. And you want to talk about a domino theory, this is the domino theory,

the one that they don't want to talk about. So if you want to try to get something that is outside of this system that's under collapse and it's being intact from the inside as well as from the outside, because again I think when they talk about America first, I think, man of these people say we've got to take America down first. It's not Americans first, it's

America first. We are the first target. If you want to have something that's going to be outside of this, make sure that you've got some gold

or silver, you know. They just had a dip in the price of bitcoin, and I thought it was interesting because they said, and I forget the exact amount, it was maybe two hundred and forty million dollars worth of bitcoin that they had taken out of Silk Road at one point in time, and so this massive dump of bitcoin and they traced it back to a US government wallet, and so I thought, that's a couple of interesting things about

that. You know, they manipulate every market. They're capable of manipulating the crypto markets with things like that. They and other people are as well. Of course, they manipulate the gold market, the silver market, they manipulate the stock market, they manipulate the dollar. Everything out there that is financial they're manipulating. But there are certain things that I think if you keep them

privately with the other thing was the privacy aspect of it. I've said before that I thought it was very surprising when some billionaire was notified by some guy said, why did you sell nine hundred thousand dollars worth of bitcoin? Said, I did sell nine hundred thousand dollars worth a bitcoin. He said, well, yeah you did. I could tell this is attached to your wallet. This is your wallet, and so he checked and yeah, somebody had

taken nearly a million dollars out of his wallet. He didn't even know it. He's a billionaire. But so first of all, you know, anything this electronic can easily be hacked. You are at risk to thieves from all over the world, not just the ones in your neighborhood. And there is no anonymity, you know, just like with this recent everybody saying what happened,

why did the price a bitcoin go down? Well, two hundred and forty million or whatever dumped into the market, sold into the market, and they go back and they trace it and they find that it's the US government because there's nothing anonymous about any of that. I mean, there are some cryptocurrencies that are out there, pirate coin, mon arrow, they are at least for the time being, you know, before they get to a quantum quantum computing, they are anonymous. I don't know what happens at that point

in time, but there's no anonymity to it. You know, cash, gold, silver, things like that, there is anonymity, and that is very important. So if you want to get into that, David Knight dot gold to take you to Tony Ardoban and he has wise Wolf Gold. By the way, Tony will be doing his program today immediately following this one, so make sure you tune into that on Twitter and elsewhere and you'll find out what Tony is following at the moment. I don't know if if he's anticipating

the stupid debate tonight, I doubt it. I'm sure that he's onto something. It's far more real. But if you want to go to wise Wolf, we can help you with a group buying program where you can gradually accumulate on a monthly basis. You decide how much you want to put into it. He's got different levels that are there and so you can gradually start to accumulate gold or silver, and or silver. You can buy either of those in large or small quantities. Again, Tony Rdoban, you can find him

with Davidnight dot Gold. I'll let him know that you're coming through us. Some of the comments here, George Madonna, thank you very much. That is very kind and generous. I appreciate that, he says, Hi, David and family making up for lost time. I apologies, God bless you guys. Thank you very much. That is a blessing. George, thank you. I appreciate that octospook. I put an one eight sixty five zero lithium in my pocket shorted with keys, burnt me badly, but cured my

ignorance of lithium batteries. As dangerous is carrying a car battery in your pocket. Yeah, I bet DG eight. David. Notice all over the world people notice tyrannical government and don't support it. But in the US say they beg for more government under a different ruler. Yeah, or even under the same ruler that they just had. The Goo and Fan David Paul Harvey said in his if I were the Devil's speech, what would be be praying our

father who art in Washington? He said, that's what we would be praying. That seems like what we're doing now, isn't it? A little? John says, everyone is buying gold and silver from Tony as my son says, because it's good service. That's absolutely right. We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back making sense. Comment again, you're listening to the David Knight Show, Well, welcome back. I also want to

thank people who have put in checks over the past two weeks. Now, these we did include in the gas gage, but I just wanted to get people a shout out. George and Shauna T. John and Beth, Jay, David and Deborah W. Stephanie K. John R. David and Anne, Marie In, Brian and Hannah V. William G. Jeremy W. Scott, C. Margaret Mary T. Peter G. Scott and Samantha T. Kelly and Philip M. Jackie and Fred you and Walter, why,

thank you very much. I appreciate that. And we do want to read out the checks when we get them from people, because I know a lot of people you know, are we see the zechs canceled, but in a lot of people because they don't get any immediate feedback from that because it's going through the mail. So thank you very much, I appreciate that. Let's talk a little bit about the idols of this world as we're heading into this

personality debate tonight. The modern idols of the world transgenderism, for example, This is op ed peace from the center. So they pointed out one of the things that was really abominable on the side of God when you look at Israel in the Old Testament was the sacrifice of children to false gods. And isn't that where we are today. We sacrifice the lives of our kids with

abortion. If they survive, we sterilize them, mutilate them. And the contemporary form b idolatry rejects the natural order created by God instead exalts self definition and personal desire above everything else. And so it is really foundational to our human identity when we look at how we move forward from this, he says, what about the call to love and acceptance? You know, that is the key thing. That is the strategy at which Christians lay down their faith

and walk away from it, isn't it. Oh, We've got to be loving and acceptable of all this. No, true love of God does not affirm sin. It does not attend gay weddings or practice pronoun hospitality. Instead, it calls for repentance and faith, he says, and John eight, that was the woman caught an adultery. Jesus tells her to go and sin no more. And that is really the heart of the gospel, grace and truth without compromising either one of them. He says, where your accusers,

well, neither do I condemn you. Go now and sin no more. So. In God's love, he calls us to repentance, not to an affirmation of sin. And part of that is so that we can have a relationship with him, you know, when we are indulging in our sin. As Bob Dylan said in his song, he says, you're going to serve somebody. Yeah, You're going to serve somebody. It may be the devil, it may be the Lord, but you're going to have to serve somebody.

So that is the issue when we create these idols in our lives, this kind of pagan idolatry, and part of what we see from that is this idea that sex is above everything else. That's one of the things that's so disturbing about these people that are being picked by Biden. When you look at them, their whole life is assumed into by their sexual is just say,

polightly, their activities, their perversions or whatever. You look at people like Sam Brinton, you look at this person that he's just put into another position. Somebody like the guy who calls himself Rachel Levine, know, everything that they do is focused on that. As a matter of fact, Rachel Levine wants kids to be able to have this kind of transgender mutilation at any age. And that's not surprising because what did he do. He was a

child psychologist. What do you think that was about. Just like if you look at Sam Briton, he was part of a group that mentored disturbed teens who were unsure of their sexuality. Well, you know somebody like Brenton who dresses up in these weird outfits and bondage outfits and everything. I'm sure that he'd be able to help them get their head straight. You think, no, no, these people are there as predators and this is a kind of

slavery that slave ourselves too. He said, these people want sex. Their entire world revolves around sex, quite literally. They worship sex. It is an idol to them. And that's why when we look at this, we so, I don't know, this guy's necessarily serious enough that we would want him focusing on nuclear waste issues. That seems like that might be a little bit dangerous to have somebody like that in that position, too preoccupied with their

private sex life and making that public. But I think all of this comes back to you know, we've talked many times about Augustine and his just war

theory, and I think he really laid it out comprehensively. But there was something else that he's even more famous for, and that was his idea that there's two cities, that there's the City of God, and that is what we need to be focused at. There was an interesting op ed, Peace on a World, and it's the title of it is Augustine in the Ballot Box, and he said, you know, there's a lot of parallels to where we are in this society today versus where Rome was with Augustine in his

lifetime. The Roman Empire was in decline and falling, he said in this op ed piece, you know when people look at Rome, it is the quintessential Western empire. A thousand years or so. The situation confronting fifth century Roman Empire on the eve of its collapse holds a superficial similarity to contemporary America.

Out of touch elites were governing Rome, people had lost faith in governmental institutions, A stark divide existed between the needs of rural and urban populations, and citizens faced economic uncertainty as the government manipulated the current at see by experimenting with different coinage. Wow checks all those boxes today, doesn't. Rome even had its own immigration crisis, failing to assimilate the German Goths, who a

generation earlier sought asylum in the empire when fleeing from the Huns. Other German tribes illegally crossed Rome's poorous border, exasperating an already desperate problem. So on August twenty fourth, four hundred and ten, Germanic Goths, led by their king Alaric, sacked the city of Rome the first time foreign enemies had breached the city walls in eight hundred years, and news of the devastation shook the

foundations of the Empire. The empire's mood darkened over the following months as the government failed to contain the failure. But during this destruction, Augustine of Hippo wrote one of Christianity's greatest literary works, The City of God, and he argued that the City of God and the City of Man are not the same thing. This writer says, this is a timely reminder for Americans as our

country finds itself in the midst of another election cycle. And he points out that he began this work because there was and you still see this train of thought. A lot of historians they blamed the fall of Rome. They said, I got soft because it became christian. This was about one hundred years after Constantine had become a Christian, and after him all of the Roman Empire would swear to Christianity. Of course, he's set up the eastern capital in

Constantinople. Not is t Embul became later. I always laugh about because of that song. But anyway, he so a lot of people said, well, the thing that went wrong with Rome, and people will still say today was it got soft because Christianity? And so for Augustine, he wanted to first attack that, but then he expanded it into looking at the city of God versus the city of Man. As this writer says, for many both

left and right, today, politics has become a religion. But it is a religion that is filled with fear and trembling because the whims of a voting populace in which each half distressed the other, shapes the world's destiny rather than the designs of a good and sovereign God. I've said many times that when Hillary Clinton talks about the politics of meaning, I said, the saddest thing about that is that she looks to politics for meaning in her life. For

her, that's everything, that's the sum total of her life. That's why she's able to achieve in politics, and of course she wasn't able to achieve what she wanted. We don't live those of us who look for the city of God, and those of us who are citizens of the City of God don't define our lives that way. It's got to be a very frustrating thing. And I really do feel sorry for people like Trump and by like Hillary

and Biden. That's all that they've got. And when I play those clips I played earlier this week of Trump asked by people, well, you ever ask God for forgiveness? And of course we know that he needs it, we all need forgiveness. He has nothing that he can do with his sin, and that is typical of most religions. Most religions don't have a something that they have, works that they need to do to make up for the mistakes or the rebellion that they've had in their life. But they can never

know that they did enough. You know, you can talk to a Muslim and doesn't matter what they do, and maybe even if they maybe the only thing is if they can take out a bunch of infidels or whatever. No, I mean, don't study their theology. But it's all about works, and that's characteristic of man's religion. It's all about trying to justify yourself before

God. That's what's different about Christianity. It's that Christ justified us. Christ did what we could not do. He did it completely, and it's a free gift. That's the amazing thing. It surprises me that people don't rely on that more. I guess there's a lot of cynicism. You know, when you offer somebody something for free, it can't be that good. Well, actually it is. Our impulse, though, is to rely on a

benevolent dictator who's going to give us what we want in this life. And whenever we do that, you know, by saying that we're going to trust in Washington, trust in a president, all that does is make us more fearful, more insecure, and with good reason, because we're asking for a dictator. So, as he points out, he said, the situation in fifth century Rome on the eve of its collapse has a super official similarity to

where we are today. He said. While Italy burned, Augustine served as a bishop in a small town of Hippo in the Roman province of Africa modern

day Algeria. Through Though Hippo lay across the Mediterranean hundreds of miles from Rome, those living there saw firsthand the effects of the empire's collapse, as they had refugees flooding into North Africa. Fifth century Christians often viewed Rome as a Christian empire, and many American Christians fall into this same trap, talking about the United States as if it is analogous to the City of God rather than just another manifestation of the City of Man. He talks about here, Senator

Ted Cruz will talk of that all the time. Of course, it was Reagan who famously talked about the City on the Hill. Now Ted Cruz talks about it forty years later, forty five years later. But prior to that, you had you know, Reagan wasn't one to come up with that analogy. Other people had come up with that, going back to the founding of this country. But he said, Christians began to expect more from politics than it can ever deliver when we start to look at it that way, he

said. Augustin worked on The City of God for over fifteen years, explore the interplay between the City of God and the City of Man, and a book that would run up to a thousand pages. The initial goal was to answer the critics, the criticism of Pagans who blamed the Roman Empire's precarious situation

on its embrace of Christianity. The Sack of Rome took place about one hundred years after Constantine began favoring Christianity, and so a lot of them were saying, this is the fault of the Christian nationalists, something that we see again today. In Augustine's Day, many Christians had adopted Eusebius's idea that the Roman Empire was the manifestation of Jesus's coming kingdom. And we see that all the time in our politics. It's amazing how many people do that about Israel,

how many people do that about America. They don't see the difference between the city of God and the city of Man. And once they make that leap, they'll embrace all kinds of actions because hey, I'm doing it. I'm doing it to serve God, whatever it is that I'm doing. Tornador, thank you very much for the tip. Swilling Goy says, if you want to make a society to crumble, make nudity and promiscuity the norm. It will take time, but it will crumble into dust. Yeah. It has

with us with the LGBT Pride parades. You know, last year I talked about some body was disgusted that Karen saw something on somewhere where there was you know, literally men parading down the street stark naked. Somebody last year called up the police and said, I want to report a man who's naked on the street says, oh where is he? Oh she said such and such a way as that. Oh, that's just the Pride parade. Don't worry about that. How does that get a pass? Well, they put a

pass on pretty much everything. They put a pass on. Mutilating kids. They put a pass on saying the kids don't You can't stop them from doing this, even though we have all kinds of activities and always have had all kinds of activities that children are not mature enough to decide they want to participate in. But hey, when it comes to the LGBT agenda, oh well

we throw that all away. Don't frag me. Bro responded to soiling go, He said, throwing some materialism, some drugs, and some visual programming, and the process accelerates nothing. And be happy. Of course, we will steal your property, kidnap your children, will feed you drugs that make you think you're happy. So anyway, said, I don't think this radical individualism nonsense helps either. We excel through family and community, not individualism.

And you know, we just have to keep things in balance. I think, you know there is something to be said for the individual. We have to learn how to rule ourselves as individuals. We also need to understand how to function in community and how to function in family. But we've got to do all three of those. It's just that our unbalanced society has put everything

into government. Everything is about government. And it's really sad to see that people conservatives are just as dependent on getting meaning and getting what they want out of life. They're just as dependent on government as all the socialists and communists that I've watched all my life. And it's a sad thing. See. He goes on to say, let's say be careful because the individual is very important. The only just justice system might recognize the rights and sovereignty of the

individual. If you ignore the individual, then you are embracing collectivism, and that is just a euphemism for totalitarianism. I agree. One comment here says about the debate tonight, they will dress it up though, they'll make it look like these two senile puppets are capable of being Walmart greeters. Yeah,

that's right. Trump was talking about how Franklin Graham had contacted him, said hey, I want you to think about cleaning up your language a little bit, and then he goes on on about how, well, no, it's really important that i'd be able to emphasize, you know, for a point of emphasis. Well whatever, Franklin Graham was saying, there's kids watching it in that type of thing. That's why we tried to keep it clean with

our guests here. But I remember, and I've told the story before about how we went to see Penn and Teller when we were on a vacation. They were performing and enjoyed the show and the humor and what they were doing until they decided that they would stop in the middle of the show and lecture everybody about how much they hated God. And Penn was saying, he said, when people use the F word, he said, it's just because they

don't have any vocabulary, and they sound really stupid. He said, every other word is an F word if you look at some people in some of the movies, and of course Robert de Niro is one of the best examples of that, or worst examples, I guess. And he said, so I don't do that, He said, I want to have a better vocabulary, and it's ridiculous. He said that a lot of people who were writers don't have a better vocabulary than that. They use it as every form of

speech. They use it as an adverb, a verb, an adjective, and all this other kind of stuff. And he said, I don't do that. Instead, he said, I want to deliberately blaspheme God, so I use Jesus Christ's name in vain. And so he starts going on with that, and we just we were in the middle of this. It was like a big circular table and we were in the smack dad middle of it, and we made about ten people get up out of the table to let us get out of there because it's like, I'm not staying here while he's

doing that. That's the one that really bothers me. I don't really care that much about the F word. Try not to use it because it's coarse, but try not use it because we have kids who listen to the program. It'll be interesting night to see what Trump does. If he's going to get really frustrated turning his microphone off. I don't know if that's going to do anything for him or not. He's got a pretty loud voice. He

may scream over that he made, curse over that. Who knows what he's going to do if he thinks that that is a very effective rhetorical principle. I think, as Finn was saying, it reflects a lack of vocabulary. We certainly certainly see that in Donald Trump. He doesn't have He thought it was a real big deal, and he thought it was intellectual show voting or pedantry pedagogrit for somebody to say existential Oh, that sounds really important, doesn't

it? Is that a big word for you, Donald? That's not something that you typically talk about in existential threat. With all of the stuff around, they were always hearing about existential threats, about COVID, about every mcguffin the climate especially, It's all existential threats about everything. And yet it seemed to be a new word for him, new word for the week. But as we move forward, we want to make sure that we don't put our

trust in what is happening in this world. So some contemporary going back to this op ed piece, he said, some contemporary conservative politicians like Senator Josh Holly of Missouri, claimed that America is a Christian nation because the founders said so. But do the founders or contemporary politicians get to decide or does God. Some also claim the country must turn back to God if it is to achieve its former glory. Even some pastors succumb to this politicized rhetoric that portrays

the goal of Christian religion as restoring and supporting a proper social order. Well, I think that it is clear that it is clear principle throughout the Bible that God deals with us as individuals, and he also deals with nations as well. You know, the nations don't really have any any way that they can. They typically wind up raging against God and his anointed, don't they.

But God does blessed nations that follow him. He does many times offer them a chance to repent, as he did with Nineveh and sending Jonah to Ninevah, and he held his hand of judgment until they returned to their ways, and then he eventually did judge Nineveh. But you know, when we look at this, it is the good news about this, I think besides the best news about the grace of God and the forgiveness through Christ is the fact that this is not something that is dependent on us having to do it

collectively. You know, we're just having that discussion back and forth about individualism. Your relationship with God is individual. You know, everybody in your family could have a relationship with God, but it's still up to you. Right, That's not going to get you a relationship with God. You have to establish that as an individual. And that's when we look at this collective issue. God has blessed America, I think because Americans were looking to God.

That is a clear principle throughout the Bible that God does do that type of thing, but it is not the sort of thing where we want to put that kind of We don't put our hope in the elective reform of America. Yes, it would be good if America were following that, because there will be consequences if it doesn't. But we can still whatever happens with Trump, whatever happens with this election and Biden and all the rest of this stuff,

it really does come back to us as individuals. Just like I said before, all politics is local. Well, your religion and your relationship with God is as local as it gets. It ultimately is between you and God,

and they can't take that away from you. No matter what happens. Things can get very difficult and the circumstances, but our hope and our great expectation is that we can have that relationship with God no matter what happens with Trump, no matter what happens with Biden, no matter what happens with this election, our life does not depend on it. And even if our life dependent

on in, our life is but a tiny little blip and eternity. And so the key thing is you have to look at your relationship as a citizen of the City of God. And that's what I think he's trying to say. He's trying to say that the city of Man offers no hope. And that's especially true when the city of Man is the District of Columbia going to be any hope at all in the District of Columbia. It has turned its back on the principles and the law that is there, as well as on

God. And there are consequences for us as individuals blessing and curses. There's not any individual there's not some neutral area there, right, Everything is always a blessing or curse. That's true of us individually. It's true of us as a nation as well, I think. But yeah, the good news is that the City of God is something that is far more important and outside of the City of Man. I'll have a good night if you want to watch. That's the debate. We'll talk about it tomorrow and do a post

mornem The common Man. They created common Core and dumb down our children. They created common past track and control us. They're Commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing and the communist future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception,

intimidation. They desire to know everything about us, while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
