00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:29.760
Using free speech to free minds.
You're listening to the David Knight Show.

2
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:51.119
As the clock strikes thirteen, it's
Wednesday, the fifteenth of May. You're

3
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:55.119
of our Lord, twenty twenty four. Well, today we're going to begin

4
00:00:55.399 --> 00:01:02.640
with d banking in the United States
and D banking of an investigative film producer

5
00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:07.840
that I interviewed a couple of months
ago. She's looking into the entrapment by

6
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:15.519
the FBI in this case of allegations
of a kidnapping plot for Governor Whitmer.

7
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:21.319
And guess what, her bank has
just shut down her bank account and seized

8
00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:23.200
her money. Oh, they're going
to write her a check. The check

9
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:25.879
is in the mail. She doesn't
know when, but her entire bank account

10
00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:27.920
has been shut down, and we're
going to talk about the implications of that.

11
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:34.120
We're also going to talk today about
while coming up in the fourth hour,

12
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:38.879
we're going to be talking to Jay
Warner Wallace, cold case detective who's

13
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:42.079
got a new book, The Truth
and True Crime. I think you're going

14
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:46.560
to find that very interesting, and
also talk about what's going on in Ukraine.

15
00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:49.920
The Russian has just walked into a
city because the money that we gave

16
00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:53.760
them the millions and millions of dollars
that we gave them, somebody stole it

17
00:01:53.799 --> 00:02:02.200
and they didn't build any fortifications.
Imagine that surprise you here we are.

18
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:08.840
So let's talk a little bit to
begin with with what is happening with money

19
00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:14.400
and the threat to money. It's
we've got a huge threat to the dollar,

20
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:20.439
huge threat to the financial system,
the commercial real estate crisis that Trump

21
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:25.159
kicked off with his lockdowns and that
type of thing. And you know,

22
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:31.599
so besides the inflation, besides the
dollar, besides the economic hanging by a

23
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:37.639
thread, all these different banks and
commercial loans which can propagate through the economy,

24
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:40.680
we also have the threat of CBDC, which is nothing that we've had

25
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:46.039
before. We all, many of
us have lived through the inflation, lived

26
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:51.159
through stagflation, and we know how
bad that was. But we could,

27
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:53.680
as I said, you know,
it's four thirty usually a company by war.

28
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:57.840
We could wind up with the Civil
War, World War, Revolutionary war,

29
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:00.080
all of these things all at once, and we could wind up with

30
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:05.520
a perfect storm of a lot of
different economic things. Now I have no

31
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:10.319
funds, says Christina Urso, independent
journalist. Bank of America abruptly terminated her

32
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:17.960
bank account because of the film.
Evidently the FBI's involvement in Governor Whitmer's kidnapping

33
00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:23.319
case. The Bank of America is
highly politicized. To say the least.

34
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:28.879
Determination came without warning, without a
clear explanation, even from the bank's risk

35
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:34.599
department. The risk department decided that
she was a risk. How's that?

36
00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:40.919
How is a documentary film producer a
risk unless you don't the FBI that you

37
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:45.000
work with all the time, that
you worked with during January sixth, doesn't

38
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:50.319
like her for some reason. As
I've said before, free speech is not

39
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:55.639
a crime. Censorship is a crime, and censorship is used to cover up

40
00:03:55.759 --> 00:04:00.520
other crimes. Isn't it always use
to cover up other crimes. It's a

41
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:05.360
crime that she use to cover up
other crimes, and now we have the

42
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:10.639
banks doing that as well, she
says. Despite her long standing relationship with

43
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:14.400
Bank of America, access to her
funds was denied and she was informed that

44
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:19.040
a check for the account balance will
be mailed to her, but no specification

45
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:23.199
as to when that would happen.
She says. So Bank of America has

46
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:28.839
decided to terminate their business relationship with
me. Their risk department made this determination

47
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:32.319
for literally no reason. I've been
with them for years. This is clearly

48
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:36.680
because my documentary, my critical reporting. Let me just tell you a personal

49
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:42.240
story about this as well. I've
long imagined that when we tried to make

50
00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:47.399
the move, we nearly weren't able
to complete the transaction because Bank of America

51
00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:57.680
they had a we had account with
them, and they had really good interest

52
00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:02.839
rates at the time, and so
we went decided to apply through them.

53
00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:08.720
I think it was a blessing even
though we were able to complete the transaction

54
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:10.959
and get the move, but boy, it was hanging by a threat up

55
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:15.040
to the very last minute, and
I wound up having to pay a higher

56
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:17.920
interest rate, quite a bit higher
because interest rates had risen because they drunk

57
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:20.920
their feet. But I worked a
loan guy and he was, oh,

58
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:24.199
yeah, yeah, no problem,
Oh yeah, this is this is fine,

59
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:27.920
you know, no problem at all. And then they came up,

60
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:32.680
as manager came up with some kind
of flimsy excuse I forget now the details

61
00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:36.560
of it. And so we went
back and we corrected that we and he

62
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:39.759
encouraged it, said, resubmitted,
I know this is going to go through.

63
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:42.079
And he'd done this for a very
long time. Oh yeah, I've

64
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:45.680
done all this stuff, and so
that was part of the process. It

65
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:48.720
wasn't just rejecting it, but you
know, kind of he was certain that

66
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:51.040
there was no problem with it.
Oh yeah, this is piece of cake.

67
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:56.680
And then they rejected that again and
they didn't really have any reason for

68
00:05:56.759 --> 00:06:00.319
it, and then we had to
start shopping around for another loan from another

69
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:03.839
bank and start the whole process over
again. And again we nearly lost this

70
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:10.319
house here and really missed, nearly
messed up the move. But the blessing

71
00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:14.680
is that we don't have them holding
a loan on our house. As corrupt

72
00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:20.199
as Bank of America is, so
sometimes there's a silver lining and what kind

73
00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:23.240
puts us through, you know,
it's like no, no, no,

74
00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:27.800
you don't want that. But it
may have been God that was moving that,

75
00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:31.279
or it could have also been some
people up in the risk management department,

76
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:35.519
right same department, the risk management
department shut it down. Evidentally,

77
00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:40.759
it's the risk management department at Bank
of America that's going to run the shutdown

78
00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:44.759
of people, the de banking of
people, as we've seen in the UK

79
00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:47.720
and other places like that. And
it doesn't always happen to the high profile

80
00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:56.519
individuals either, you hear about it
when happens high profile individuals. When what

81
00:06:56.680 --> 00:07:03.079
was it like twenty twenty three,
I think it was that you had the

82
00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:09.160
PayPal taking down the guy that has
the Free Speech Union in the UK Daily

83
00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:14.160
Skeptic, and he has a pretty
high profile in the UK. He has

84
00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:18.319
access to some politicians, and when
PayPal took him down, they started making

85
00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:21.480
some noise about it and they restored
him. Now, when they took me

86
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:26.560
down in May of twenty twenty one, when our show was only about four

87
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:29.839
or five months old, and at
that point in time, virtually all of

88
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:34.600
our support came through donations via PayPal, and they just abruptly canceled this and

89
00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:39.360
would not give me an answer,
And I spent hours on the phone with

90
00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:42.920
a rep. He said, this
is really strange. You know, I

91
00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:46.800
don't There's just there's no information here
except a single order says shut down this

92
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:50.920
account. Never seen anything like this
before, he said. He said,

93
00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:56.120
yeah, I understand, I understand
what this is about, and I do

94
00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:58.720
know what it's about. I don't
like it, but I know what it's

95
00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:03.800
about. So she said, they
won't tell me why they won't allow me

96
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:07.839
to access my bank account or have
access to the funds. They're telling me

97
00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:09.839
I will get a check in the
mail, but they won't say when I

98
00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:13.360
can expect it. I'm traveling at
the end of this month for my documentary,

99
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:16.560
but now I have no funds.
They wouldn't say when the check will

100
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:20.439
come. I have a documentary film
shoot in less than two weeks, and

101
00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:26.319
I have crew members I need to
pay, etc. Etc. So Yeah,

102
00:08:26.560 --> 00:08:28.560
pretty amazing, isn't it. You
know, By the way, let

103
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:31.519
me just just put this in here
now. You know, I was going

104
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:37.200
to bring this up with politics coming
up, but you know I was,

105
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:41.120
it's going to talk since it's looking
more and more like Doug Berghram is going

106
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:45.080
to be the VP for Trump.
I had talked a couple of months ago

107
00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:52.039
about the connection between the two leading
VP candidates for Trump, Gnome of South

108
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:58.600
Dakota and Bergham of North Dakota,
both of them governors of those respective states,

109
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:03.879
And about there with this CO two
pipeline, I mean, when you

110
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:11.200
talk about green boondoggle, pure Bolshevik
projects like that, this is the worst,

111
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:16.639
absolutely the worst. We're going to
pay tremendous amounts of money to extract

112
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:20.399
CO two from the air from some
other processes, and we're going to pump

113
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:24.759
it across the country. Then we're
going to inject it in the ground in

114
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:31.720
South Dakota and or North Dakota seriously, and pay tremendous amounts of money to

115
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:37.840
these people running it. So the
CEO of this Emperor has no closed boondoggle

116
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:46.919
frequented mar Lago and of course Bergham
and Gnome heavily involved in all this,

117
00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:50.600
and Trump at the center of all
of that. Yeah, I talked about

118
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:54.440
that, and I want to go
back, and so has Harry Hound as

119
00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:58.879
well. On Twitter, Harry Hound
was talking about that and said back in

120
00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:05.879
February, Hey, I've tried to
post information about this nexus between these four

121
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:09.759
people, the CEO and the other
ones, and it keeps blocking this on

122
00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:13.080
Twitter. Who's doing this? And
so I went back to get my report.

123
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:15.759
I don't want to play a little
bit of the report that I did

124
00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:18.600
a couple of months ago about this. And here's what I found. Look

125
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:24.679
at that I go to Rumble,
video doesn't play ah, and that interesting.

126
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:31.039
Yeah, this is my life.
This is videos taken down even on

127
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:35.000
Rumble. Who knows what the reason
is. Travis was saying that he thinks

128
00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:39.919
that it may not necessarily be censorship. It could be some technical issue.

129
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:43.240
I don't know. Other videos are
still there. He looked up other videos

130
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:46.480
that other people did at the time, and it may not be directed.

131
00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:50.159
This particular one at Rumble may not
be directed. If it's censorship, may

132
00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:54.320
not be directed at me personally.
It might be the topic, right,

133
00:10:56.840 --> 00:11:01.279
because we're going to see censorship from
the right as well. You know that

134
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:03.799
they want to do the same things
to people they disagree with that the left

135
00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:09.159
does. Right, and you see
this in what is happening with these anti

136
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:15.399
Israel protests. They come after free
speech. That's that for real. They're

137
00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:18.919
running the pipeline right down. I
don't know if that's for real or not.

138
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:24.360
Oh a, I generated okay,
yeah, I don't think that was

139
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:31.360
real. Run it right down the
alley way between two houses. It's about

140
00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:35.279
as bad though, these pipelines and
the imminent domain abuses that we see with

141
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:41.679
it. And I talked about that
even with a Keystone pipeline bringing in oil

142
00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:46.840
from Canada taking it down to refineries
in the United States, and I said,

143
00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:52.759
look, we need the oil.
There is no transportation method that is

144
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:56.720
one hundred percent safe. You could
have accents with it, but the safest

145
00:11:56.039 --> 00:12:00.080
is going to be the pipeline.
If there's leaks, they're going to be

146
00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:05.960
relatively minor compared to an oil tanker
spill or something like that, and much

147
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:13.039
more easily cleaned up and fixed and
so forth, and even safer than and

148
00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:18.879
more efficient than sending it on a
whole convoy of semi trailers. Right,

149
00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:24.799
semi trucks we could we could do
use them for other things. But it's

150
00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:26.879
not perfect. But I said,
I have a real problem with the eminent

151
00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:33.240
domain aspect, especially because that pipeline
was being run by a Canadian company,

152
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:41.720
trans Canada, and it set new
precedents for eminent domain. We had bad

153
00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:46.799
precedents for eminent domain in Connecticut with
the Kelso case in the Supreme Court,

154
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:54.360
where the land was taken for the
use of a corporation rather than for common

155
00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:56.480
use, like they're going to build
a road or something. I don't like

156
00:12:56.519 --> 00:13:01.399
eminent domain period, but you know, if you're to take property because you've

157
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:05.080
got to build a road or something, that's very different, isn't it.

158
00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:09.120
Then you take it because a corporation
wants it. And then what we had

159
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:16.960
with this keystone pipeline was we had
a corporation had the power to condemn this

160
00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:26.519
property. You gave the condemnation and
the seizure via imminent domain. You gave

161
00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:31.360
those powers and those determinations and decisions
to a corporation for the corporation's use.

162
00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:35.639
You see how it keeps progressing.
Oh and by the way, a foreign

163
00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:41.480
corporation gets to take that property from
people who have had that property in their

164
00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:48.720
family for one hundred and fifty years
or more and it's part of their farm,

165
00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:50.919
and it messes up their farm to
cut this right in the center of

166
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:54.360
it. It can't, you know, how do you get around this thing?

167
00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:56.840
That type of stuff. So,
yeah, there were a lot of

168
00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:00.879
issues with that, but this is
particularly bad. And this is the description

169
00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:03.840
I had for the video there.
If eminent domain were not bad enough on

170
00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:09.399
its own, add crony capitalism,
corruption, and a co two pipeline green

171
00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:16.360
scam, North Dakota Governor Doug Bergham
now running ahead in the veep sweepstakes,

172
00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:22.639
and South Dakota Governor Christinome, a
CEO crony of Trump, and Trump himself.

173
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:24.879
Those four people. If you think
Trump's going to save you from the

174
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:28.600
un Davos Green Agenda and it's corporate
looters. You need to see this.

175
00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:33.840
Oh well, I guess that is
enough to take it. Now, we'll

176
00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:37.320
see what happens with it. Will
it come back? Will I post it

177
00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:39.399
again? You bet. We'll find
it and we'll put it up again.

178
00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:43.600
See what happens with a new posting. Also, we'll say we've got another

179
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:48.399
video from three months ago that is
playing, and it's on the same page

180
00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:52.240
if you go back in time.
So it seems there's something specific about that

181
00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:56.960
video. Yeah, yeah, but
maybe the topic not me particularly, So

182
00:14:56.120 --> 00:15:01.440
let's push this. I'm gonna keep
pushing it till they me I'm wrong.

183
00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:05.720
It's like we try to set up
a channel on Roku, we get censored

184
00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:09.799
with Vimeo that feeds it. I
mean, it's just this is the day.

185
00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:13.879
This is what frustrates me and raises
my blood pressure more than the work.

186
00:15:15.639 --> 00:15:18.559
It's this. Uh, And now
the video right next to it doesn't

187
00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:22.440
play. So maybe there's something about
videos we uploaded that exact day. I

188
00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:26.720
don't know. It's very strange.
This is one of the problems with dealing

189
00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:30.080
with sites like this. As good
as they are, it's impossible to tell

190
00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:33.799
what's actually going on it. Well, we'll upload it again. It'll upload

191
00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:37.759
it again. It's just, you
know, I don't know when it happens

192
00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:41.200
to you so often. First thing
I think about is that it's deliberate and

193
00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:46.039
not an accident. But maybe it's
an accident. Maybe it's a tech issue.

194
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:50.320
In a video statement, she gave
further details and context about this,

195
00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:58.559
of course, and frustrated, suspicious
that her account termination at Bank of America

196
00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:03.279
is linked to her hoarding and the
upcoming documentary on the FBI is misconduct and

197
00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:10.360
the governor Whitmer fed napping case,
and it truly is entrapment, folks,

198
00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:12.879
we all know, and it was
the blueprint for January the sixth, As

199
00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:17.639
we pointed out, we knew that
before. She's got a lot of evidence

200
00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:22.600
about that. They've had mixed results
in the trials, which you can attribute

201
00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:26.879
to the different judges right the way
the judges allow evidence to be presented and

202
00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:30.240
not presented, but they allowed the
jury to be told and not told.

203
00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:37.519
We have a long, rich history
of judges who suppress exculpatory evidence of evidence

204
00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:41.919
that would show that the defendant is
innocent. We've seen that in so many

205
00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:47.159
trials I've seen it in every one
of these tax protesters trials that I know

206
00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:52.360
of. I've seen it in the
trials around the Bundy Ranch stand off.

207
00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:56.399
The only reason that they didn't all
go to jail was because you had a

208
00:16:56.440 --> 00:17:02.559
good guy, a whistleblower in the
BLM who said, this is what they're

209
00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:07.559
doing. Busted the case wide open, and it was so damaging to the

210
00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:12.720
government that they shut it down.
And the judge said, dismissed with prejudice,

211
00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:18.519
You're not going to reopen this case
again. But it truly was prejudiced

212
00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:22.839
the case on the side of BLM
and some of these other things, some

213
00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:26.480
of these other convictions, And I
don't know if the first convictions that they

214
00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:27.680
got to some of the people that
were there in January sixth, I don't

215
00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:33.440
know if those were overturned or not. I don't remember what happened to those.

216
00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:37.119
It could be recalled that the FBI
used at least twelve informants in the

217
00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:45.240
Michigan Whitmer kidnapping case. There are
six defendants and twelve FBI informants two to

218
00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:53.279
one. They created this scam,
they ran this scam. They goaded people

219
00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:57.680
into saying things be careful what you
say on social media. Seriously, they've

220
00:17:57.680 --> 00:18:02.519
got scumbags this working for the FBI
that are out there doing this kind of

221
00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:04.319
stuff all the time. They do
it on social media. You want to

222
00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:07.319
make sure you don't get some kind
of Brazil raid in the middle of the

223
00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:12.480
night because of some FBI troll that
you got into an argument with, or

224
00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:17.319
maybe they're friendly and maybe they encourage
you. You know, they're out there

225
00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:19.640
saying all of these provocative things and
you feel like you can join in and

226
00:18:19.640 --> 00:18:23.680
say them with them as well.
Need to understand have some wisdom about the

227
00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:30.200
times that we're living in. So
Bank of America provided customer information to federal

228
00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:36.000
authorities around the January sixth events,
and of course a lot of parallels between

229
00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:41.079
that and this Whitmer thing. They
actually took the guy who ran the Whitmer

230
00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:48.359
Bolshevik Pure Bolshevik case, they put
him in to run January sixth, and

231
00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:53.480
of course Bank of America also turned
over all kinds of credit card records and

232
00:18:53.759 --> 00:19:00.160
gun purchases. Specifically, what they
told what the Bank of America sent to

233
00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:03.279
the FBI, and the FBI said, we didn't ask them for it,

234
00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:04.440
they just did it. Voluntarily.
Well, you know what's going on.

235
00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:10.079
It's a very close relationship with them. Uh, they're just not they're not

236
00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:11.960
guessing. Well, you know,
I think the FBI would do this.

237
00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:12.839
Let's spend the extra time. Now. The FBI tells them, you know,

238
00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:15.839
it would be nice if we had
that information. They've always run this

239
00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:19.839
scam. They've run this type of
scam with the phone companies, and when

240
00:19:19.839 --> 00:19:25.359
people said, hey, you did
you know you gave them my information,

241
00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:33.680
the courts said, well, you
have a phone account with you know,

242
00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:37.640
the Bell system that we've given them
monopoly to, and so you've agreed to

243
00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:41.480
give them all this information and that's
their information. Now they can do with

244
00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:45.359
it whatever they want. And if
they want to voluntarily turn this over to

245
00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:48.480
us without a search warrant, they
can do that. That's what's going on

246
00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:51.640
here. The FBI tells them what
they want, and the and Bank of

247
00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:53.400
America says, sure, you don't
need a warrant. We're not going to

248
00:19:53.400 --> 00:19:56.839
ask you for a warrant. And
they voluntarily give them everything that they want

249
00:19:57.880 --> 00:20:04.079
because they want have a place at
the table with CBDC and other stuff.

250
00:20:04.160 --> 00:20:10.240
Right in the same way that Bell
liked their phone monopoly at the time,

251
00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:14.319
and at and T and Bell.
They liked that monopoly. They wanted to

252
00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:18.440
keep that going. So they were
more than happy to give any information to

253
00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:22.880
anybody in the government about anyone without
a search warrant. So some of the

254
00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:29.039
things that they got were these people
in DC between January the fifth and January

255
00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:33.559
the sixth, So Bank of America
let them know they're there making purchases.

256
00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:37.880
Did they purchase a hotel, stay
or an airbnb in d C, Virginia

257
00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:41.640
or Maryland after January the sixth?
Now you, of course you could do

258
00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:48.519
this and not be there for the
you know, the January the sixth grift

259
00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:52.559
and the whole thing was a setup. As I said, you know,

260
00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:57.759
Trump set people up, Alex set
people up. Bank of America rated on

261
00:20:57.839 --> 00:21:00.880
these people. Bank of America rad
it on a lot of people who had

262
00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:04.440
nothing to do with any of this. Stopped the steal or save America stuff.

263
00:21:04.480 --> 00:21:10.599
Either a next One airline related purchases
since January the sixth, did they

264
00:21:10.599 --> 00:21:15.240
fly out of January sixth? Next
One? Any purchase of weapons between January

265
00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:22.440
the seventh and their upcoming suspected stay
in the DC area around Inauguration Day,

266
00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:25.920
so you got a lot of people
who had nothing at all even to do

267
00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:30.680
with that grift and entrapment that we
called January the sixth, and they still

268
00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:37.759
had their names turned in to the
FBI by Bank of America Bank of America.

269
00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:42.000
And you know, it's interesting because
Bank of America has had so such

270
00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:49.640
close ties with the government going back
to the Clinton administration. I remember because

271
00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:55.319
we had a bank account with Nations
Bank, which was headquartered in North Carolina.

272
00:21:56.160 --> 00:21:59.519
And at that time there weren't these
gigantic, too big to fail banks.

273
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:03.519
They were really more regional. So
Bank of America was a California bank,

274
00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:07.160
Nations Bank was a North Carolina bank, and there was a guy in

275
00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:11.160
North Carolina, Erskine Bowls. He
had run for office many times. He

276
00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:17.160
was in the Clinton White House.
I forget his exact time. I don't

277
00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:18.599
know if he was chief of staff
or something else, but he's pretty high

278
00:22:18.640 --> 00:22:22.480
up in the Clinton White House.
And he was involved in the banking industry

279
00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:26.160
in North Carolina. And so they
wanted to have this merger between the North

280
00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:33.559
Carolina bank Nations Bank, and California's
Bank of America. That as they put

281
00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:37.880
that out, all of the press
was saying you can't do this. This

282
00:22:37.960 --> 00:22:41.839
is going to create a gigantic bank, and it's going to set off a

283
00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:45.039
wave of mergers, and you're going
to wind up with just a handful of

284
00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:51.480
gigantic banks. But you know,
Erskine Bowls did his influence thing, and

285
00:22:51.559 --> 00:22:56.240
the Clinton administration approved it, and
the two of them moved named all the

286
00:22:56.279 --> 00:23:00.599
banks. Bank of America moved the
headquarters from California to Charlotte, North Carolina,

287
00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:04.480
and then that set off a wave
of mergers. And ten years later,

288
00:23:06.279 --> 00:23:11.480
because Clinton also took down the Glass
Stegel Act, ten years later,

289
00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:14.960
we had this big financial crisis because
of all the speculation in the real estate

290
00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:17.920
market, and you lo and behold, you had about five or six banks

291
00:23:17.920 --> 00:23:19.519
that were too big to fail.
They got bailed out. And so Bank

292
00:23:19.559 --> 00:23:23.039
of America has been there from the
inception. With all this stuff. They've

293
00:23:23.079 --> 00:23:33.519
also debanked doctor John Eastman, who
was pushing the corruption of the election theory.

294
00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:36.400
He confirmed that he's already moved most
of his money from Bank of America

295
00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:42.759
to USAA, which is for Armed
Services accounts, over concerns that Bank of

296
00:23:42.759 --> 00:23:51.440
America had this leftist advocacy or actually
government advocacy, but then both of them,

297
00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:56.079
both of them shut down his accounts. Both Bank of America and USAA

298
00:23:57.559 --> 00:24:00.559
closed down within the space of two
months. In the UK's we've talked about

299
00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:07.599
before, Brexit leader Nigel Farage found
that he was being denied accounts by major

300
00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:10.880
banks. And of course Nigel Farrage
has a very high profile in the UK.

301
00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:14.000
When he talked about it, though
they he's just a conspiracy theorist,

302
00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:17.599
it didn't happening, and all the
rest of the stuff, but he campaigned

303
00:24:17.599 --> 00:24:22.960
on the issue. They actually got
the text messages released and it showed that

304
00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:30.720
this was coming from the CEO of
that bank, one of the biggest banks

305
00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:34.880
in the UK NAT West and by
the way, the British government was a

306
00:24:34.920 --> 00:24:42.079
major shareholder and that bank, and
it caused that CEO to have to resign

307
00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:47.640
the CEO. Dame Allison Rose,
Oh, there's nothing like a dame.

308
00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:52.039
That's Rogers and Hammerstein. The other
day I was talking about that. I

309
00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:55.960
told her and I got off there
and I said, Oscar in Hammerstein.

310
00:24:56.279 --> 00:25:00.240
Oscar Hammerstein was the guy who wrote
the lyrics this is but it was Rogers

311
00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:06.720
and Hammerstein Richard Rodgers, and it
came to me because I sitting there,

312
00:25:06.759 --> 00:25:08.799
and also in the song. I
don't know if you ever saw Victory at

313
00:25:08.839 --> 00:25:11.319
Sea series that was done. There's
a lot of stuff like that that was

314
00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:15.240
done when I was a kid,
because I was born ten years after World

315
00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:18.720
War two and so people started documenting
stuff like that. So it was a

316
00:25:18.759 --> 00:25:22.680
long series Victory at Sea, and
Richard Rogers did the music for it.

317
00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:32.039
You know, I'd even remember my
voice there, but you get the idea,

318
00:25:32.599 --> 00:25:36.880
and if you've, if you're of
a certain age, you probably could

319
00:25:36.920 --> 00:25:41.119
not escape hearing that little ditty there, And immediately I did that with Karen

320
00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:45.119
she oh yeah, I know what
that is. Anyway, I digress.

321
00:25:45.279 --> 00:25:51.079
Fort worst tallest building sells for less
than nine percent, less than nine thousand.

322
00:25:51.160 --> 00:25:53.759
I was not quite that bad.
Yet, the tallest building in Fort

323
00:25:53.759 --> 00:26:00.000
Worth sold for less than nine percent
of its twenty twenty one purchase. Probably,

324
00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:03.000
yes, well, see, we
need to figure that in to help

325
00:26:03.640 --> 00:26:07.640
Biden with his inflation figures, don't
we. Yeah, the price of food

326
00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:11.400
and fuel and all the necessary things
may be going up, but hey,

327
00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:15.279
look the price of commercial real estate
dropped by ninety percent. Isn't that great?

328
00:26:17.160 --> 00:26:22.039
Let's just average this all in So, yeah, that's what's happening,

329
00:26:22.079 --> 00:26:25.160
and it's not happening just so I
can afford it, that's right. Next

330
00:26:25.200 --> 00:26:29.359
year, maybe you can afford a
skyscraper in Dallas. I'd tear it down,

331
00:26:30.680 --> 00:26:41.079
that's right. So Pinnacle Bank had
a had an auction and they had

332
00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:45.480
and actually they bought it back for
twelve million. I guess I got first

333
00:26:45.480 --> 00:26:49.680
debs on it. They had had
the people who lost it had a thirteen

334
00:26:49.680 --> 00:26:56.680
million dollar loan. Pinnacle Bank bought
it back for twelve million, so they've

335
00:26:56.680 --> 00:27:02.079
got a sunken cost in it of
twenty five million. But the people who

336
00:27:02.119 --> 00:27:07.279
bought it bought it for one hundred
and thirty seven and a half million just

337
00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:11.400
in twenty twenty one. And then
this thing sells for twelve million. So

338
00:27:11.519 --> 00:27:18.759
somebody took a financial bath on this
thing. The former owner Burnett Cherry Street

339
00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:22.240
LLC. They're the ones who lost
all the money. The bank has come

340
00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:27.359
out okay on it though, actually
because again their total cost on it is

341
00:27:27.359 --> 00:27:33.920
twenty five million, and it was
appraised most recently one hundred and four million,

342
00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:37.160
so they got something worth one hundred
four million for twenty five million.

343
00:27:37.799 --> 00:27:48.480
It's I guess this this building is
too tall to fail. It's they got

344
00:27:48.480 --> 00:27:52.759
a deal. The average commercial building
vacancy rate in downtown Fort Worth, however,

345
00:27:53.640 --> 00:28:00.960
is about fifty percent lower at eleven
and a half percent, So it's

346
00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:04.759
dropping, but it's dropped by fifty
percent, but it's only down to eleven

347
00:28:04.759 --> 00:28:08.839
and a half percent, so the
vacancy rate is not as bad as it

348
00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:15.480
is in some places like New York
City. Peter Schiff asks what will cbdc's

349
00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:22.039
mean for Gold with the eventual introduction. He says, the CBC's now seeming

350
00:28:22.200 --> 00:28:27.680
inevitable. That's right. I know
Trump put it on his campaign promise list,

351
00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:32.319
but he doesn't have any commitment to
it. I don't believe he's going

352
00:28:32.359 --> 00:28:34.400
to do anything about it. You
know, there was some hope, perhaps

353
00:28:34.400 --> 00:28:37.400
that DeSantis would because he made it
a core issue and he did a half

354
00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:40.599
hour thing. But then when he
got finished, all they wanted to know

355
00:28:40.759 --> 00:28:44.119
was, well, what's going on
in this Manhattan trial of Trump, which

356
00:28:44.160 --> 00:28:48.839
is now in process. That's all
they asked him about. So again,

357
00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:52.720
when we look at that, promises
are cheap, especially for Donald Trump,

358
00:28:52.920 --> 00:29:00.000
I don't think he's going especially considering
the fact that Jared Kushner and Trump,

359
00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:07.559
Goldman Sachs. Treasury Secretary Steve Manouchin
started the CBDC kickoff and then you know,

360
00:29:07.640 --> 00:29:14.000
handed it over to Biden. It's
a left right left right. You

361
00:29:14.039 --> 00:29:15.839
know, one of them starts at
the other one finishing. You know,

362
00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:18.680
Trump starts the vaccine stuff, kicks
it over to Biden, and he completes

363
00:29:18.720 --> 00:29:26.359
it. So anyway, Peterscheff says, of course, recounting for people who

364
00:29:26.039 --> 00:29:30.039
I think everybody knows by now what
CBDC is. He says, it's means

365
00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:33.400
of surveillance. But he gives a
couple of good examples here. He says,

366
00:29:33.440 --> 00:29:37.359
so if you owe taxes or a
parking ticket or something, it'll be

367
00:29:37.400 --> 00:29:42.400
automatically deducted. Does the Fed think
that it needs to cool inflation, Well,

368
00:29:42.480 --> 00:29:47.000
they might deduct money directly from your
bank accounts, because you know,

369
00:29:47.079 --> 00:29:52.599
this is what they do with modern
monetary theory. We just take the money

370
00:29:52.640 --> 00:29:56.759
out to cool inflation. You know, they're not going to do this kind

371
00:29:56.759 --> 00:30:00.240
of stuff of changing interest rates,
contative easing. No, what they'll do

372
00:30:00.319 --> 00:30:08.359
is to just directly pull money out
of your account. So they could impose

373
00:30:08.599 --> 00:30:15.039
a daily spending limit on you.
You know, anything if you've got a

374
00:30:15.039 --> 00:30:17.440
fifteen minute city. He doesn't mention
this year, but he's got a fifteen

375
00:30:17.480 --> 00:30:21.799
minute city thing they're trying to enforce. Sorry, you can't buy anything outside

376
00:30:21.799 --> 00:30:27.200
of this little fifteen minute city radius
that we've assigned you to, giving a

377
00:30:27.240 --> 00:30:32.680
new meaning to that statement at the
bar. Sorry, your money's no good

378
00:30:32.680 --> 00:30:37.440
here. Literally, that's why what
happened. Possibilities for control and profit are

379
00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:44.640
endless and too tempting for control freak
bureaucracies and amoral tech companies to ignore.

380
00:30:44.799 --> 00:30:48.240
He's right about that, he said. CBDCs and the idea of a cashlest

381
00:30:48.279 --> 00:30:53.039
society are mostly about increasing centralization and
control on the societal and individual level.

382
00:30:53.359 --> 00:31:00.000
It's easy to see how they might
be accompanied by new legislation banning precious metals

383
00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:06.119
or non state approved financial activities.
All they need is a severe enough financial

384
00:31:06.160 --> 00:31:11.039
crisis to provide the justification. And
this isn't a theory. We saw it

385
00:31:11.119 --> 00:31:15.440
during the Great Depressions, he points
out, with FDR confiscating goal by executive

386
00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:22.599
order, a true communist criminal if
everyone was one, and with new developments

387
00:31:22.680 --> 00:31:30.559
in crypto tookenization tech and a brewing
global financial crisis, well, it's not

388
00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:36.759
brewing. It was created created.
The tech banking political complex is preparing for

389
00:31:36.759 --> 00:31:40.559
what they collectively know will be a
crucial window of opportunity to force CBDCs down

390
00:31:40.599 --> 00:31:45.160
people's throats. Once it's rolled out, central bankers will have more ability than

391
00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:49.119
ever to manipulate the money supply and
your personal finances according to their whims.

392
00:31:49.680 --> 00:31:52.559
Sorry, you know, we're not
even going to discuss anymore of this whole

393
00:31:52.599 --> 00:31:56.400
thing about meat and dairy. Just
if it's meat or dairy, you can't

394
00:31:56.400 --> 00:32:00.759
buy it. It's not going to
let it happen. So that's one of

395
00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:05.200
the big advantages of gold. But
his article is, so what happens to

396
00:32:05.240 --> 00:32:07.440
the price of it? And he
looks at what happened to the price of

397
00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:14.559
gold before and after the executive order
that FDR went through, And I don't

398
00:32:14.599 --> 00:32:21.319
know exactly on his chart here at
exactly a point at which FDR, at

399
00:32:21.319 --> 00:32:25.119
one point after he sees most of
the goal that he could get this arbitrarily

400
00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:28.519
raises the price. He gets it
on the cheap and raises the price.

401
00:32:28.559 --> 00:32:31.640
He went from twenty one to thirty
four dollars an ounce. That's about sixty

402
00:32:31.640 --> 00:32:36.240
two percent. I'm not sure exactly
the timing of when that went up,

403
00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:40.200
but it goes straight up on his
chart that you see there. Some legislators

404
00:32:40.200 --> 00:32:45.599
are recognizing the threat and fighting against
it, declaring CBDCs to be a threat

405
00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:49.160
and empowering precious metal holders. However, he says, I'm not sure it'll

406
00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:53.400
be enough to fight the tide that's
being engineered by the central planners. But

407
00:32:53.480 --> 00:32:59.880
as precious metals emerge as the best
form of physical money and a tightly control,

408
00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:05.640
micromanaged financial dystopia, they'll become the
only way to make private or off

409
00:33:05.720 --> 00:33:10.599
grid transactions, making them more valuable
than ever, not only as investments,

410
00:33:12.400 --> 00:33:21.039
but as a means of survival outside
the fully digitized FIAT nightmare. Financial privacy,

411
00:33:21.279 --> 00:33:24.319
you know, privacy of financial transactions
is what Katherine austen Fitz talks about,

412
00:33:25.359 --> 00:33:28.599
and I think that is the key
issue. You know. We can

413
00:33:28.640 --> 00:33:32.680
talk about inflation, and we can
talk about how they manipulate that. We

414
00:33:32.680 --> 00:33:37.000
can talk about the interest rates and
how they manipulate that, but it really

415
00:33:37.160 --> 00:33:43.559
is for me the coming plans to
try to centralize and control everything, and

416
00:33:43.640 --> 00:33:47.160
you have to have something that's physical
if you're going to have any financial privacy.

417
00:33:49.119 --> 00:33:52.559
It'll still be difficult to do it. You know, they'll have informants

418
00:33:52.559 --> 00:33:55.119
and things like that everywhere. It's
going to be difficult to survive, but

419
00:33:55.160 --> 00:33:59.880
you're going to have to survive in
a gray or black market if they get

420
00:34:00.200 --> 00:34:02.799
way. If we can organize at
the local and state level, maybe it

421
00:34:02.799 --> 00:34:07.359
won't come to that. But if
we don't organize at the local and state

422
00:34:07.440 --> 00:34:12.480
level, it will be that.
It will be you individually trying to operate

423
00:34:12.639 --> 00:34:17.119
in a gray market or a black
market. Sober Gold versus the rate cut

424
00:34:17.320 --> 00:34:24.800
circus show. This is from von
Grayert's Gold. He says, I got

425
00:34:24.800 --> 00:34:31.440
a picture that I imagine of Uncle
Sam hanging off a cliff with a forced

426
00:34:31.480 --> 00:34:37.199
political smile. Above the cliff is
a grizzly bear. Below the cliff is

427
00:34:37.199 --> 00:34:43.119
a pool of sharks. Whichever direction
he picks, the end result is going

428
00:34:43.199 --> 00:34:45.679
to be messy. And he says, that's that's really what we're looking at

429
00:34:45.719 --> 00:34:49.320
here, you know, when we
look at is the Fed going to cut

430
00:34:49.400 --> 00:34:53.000
rates or not cut rates? In
January, Powell was giving a lot of

431
00:34:53.000 --> 00:34:57.199
Ford guidance about how he's going to
do rate cuts. Everybody expected that they

432
00:34:57.199 --> 00:35:01.000
would do that to support Biden,
which is another indication to me that they

433
00:35:01.079 --> 00:35:07.440
have basically they want to have Trump. You know, all of these trumped

434
00:35:07.599 --> 00:35:13.480
up charges in these court cases have
made it all about him personally. It's

435
00:35:13.519 --> 00:35:19.320
all become a reality TV show circus, which is his that's his wheelhouse.

436
00:35:19.880 --> 00:35:22.960
It suits him just fine. It
meant that he could go through and eliminate

437
00:35:23.039 --> 00:35:30.159
a large field of people challenging him, even credible candidates who had been governors

438
00:35:30.159 --> 00:35:34.199
and things like that, without talking
about any issues, without doing any debates,

439
00:35:34.800 --> 00:35:40.639
just by making it about his own
personal suffering. And so he says,

440
00:35:40.679 --> 00:35:44.000
so you're going to look at the
interest rates, he says, here's

441
00:35:44.079 --> 00:35:47.039
my advice. Stop caring about it, because either way we're screwed. That's

442
00:35:47.079 --> 00:35:51.519
what I say about the presidential races. Stop caring about whether it's Biden or

443
00:35:51.519 --> 00:35:54.039
Trump. Either way, we're screwed. Right, whether Powell raises interest rates

444
00:35:54.119 --> 00:35:57.719
or drips interest rates, we're still
screwed. And the same thing is true

445
00:35:57.760 --> 00:36:04.199
of the election. There's no solution
coming from that quarter. With trillions in

446
00:36:04.320 --> 00:36:10.039
US Treasury notes repricing this year and
over seven hundred billion in zombie bonds from

447
00:36:10.199 --> 00:36:15.599
SMP issuers doing the same, if
Powell doesn't cut rates, then sovereign and

448
00:36:15.719 --> 00:36:21.559
corporate bond markets are staring down loaded
barrel. And he said, this is

449
00:36:21.599 --> 00:36:23.840
real. Think of America. His
own data confirms, and Uncle Sam is

450
00:36:23.840 --> 00:36:29.119
looking at one point six trillion in
interest expense payments by the end of the

451
00:36:29.199 --> 00:36:37.440
year if Powell doesn't cut rates soon, So you can you can make cases

452
00:36:37.440 --> 00:36:40.679
for cutting rates, you can make
cases for not cutting rates. But he

453
00:36:40.800 --> 00:36:49.159
said, whichever way you go,
you need to understand that the end results

454
00:36:49.199 --> 00:36:52.480
are going to be misreported. The
government will lie to you about the inflation

455
00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:58.239
rates as always. And as he
points out, so what is the lesson

456
00:36:58.239 --> 00:37:01.559
from history? Lesson from history?
Is it all failing nations ultimately resort to

457
00:37:01.639 --> 00:37:08.280
killing their own currencies in order to
buy time and to save a system that's

458
00:37:08.360 --> 00:37:15.960
mathematically beyond being saved. As niail
Ferguson recently reminded us, any great power

459
00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:22.719
that spends more on debt service than
on defense will not stay great for very

460
00:37:22.760 --> 00:37:28.280
long. This has been true of
the Habsburg Empire, this is true of

461
00:37:28.679 --> 00:37:32.000
the ancient regime in France, of
the British Empire, and of course it

462
00:37:32.039 --> 00:37:37.199
will also be true of the American
Empire. Quite Frankly, I look forward

463
00:37:37.199 --> 00:37:42.360
with anticipation to the demise of the
American Empire. Regardless of what happens to

464
00:37:42.559 --> 00:37:45.360
us, it'll be an improvement,
I think, because they are a threat

465
00:37:45.440 --> 00:37:51.559
to the life, the liberty,
and the prosperity of everyone as it is.

466
00:37:52.239 --> 00:37:55.760
So it will be jumping out of
the frying pan. We'll see what

467
00:37:55.760 --> 00:38:06.519
the fire is like. But it
is a murdering I'll tick pushing infestation of

468
00:38:06.599 --> 00:38:09.400
demons in Washington, DC. And
you got to hope that that goes down,

469
00:38:12.599 --> 00:38:15.960
whatever the cost to us, even
if it costs us everything. Well,

470
00:38:15.159 --> 00:38:19.039
again, you want to prepare individually. You know, we can hope

471
00:38:19.039 --> 00:38:21.480
that things are going to be done
at the state level. Maybe they will,

472
00:38:22.400 --> 00:38:24.239
but either way, you need to
prepare individually. And you can do

473
00:38:24.320 --> 00:38:29.400
that at Davidknight dot Gold. That'll
take you to Tony Ardban's Wise Wolf Gold

474
00:38:29.960 --> 00:38:32.960
and there you can buy gold or
silver large or small amounts. You can

475
00:38:34.000 --> 00:38:40.360
also set up a regular savings program
and you can gradually accumulate gold. You

476
00:38:40.400 --> 00:38:44.760
can do it on a fixed amount
each month. He has different tiers that

477
00:38:44.800 --> 00:38:49.519
are there and if you get into
wolf Pack that helps you with quantity discounts

478
00:38:49.639 --> 00:38:53.920
on the things on whatever it is
that you are picking up. There a

479
00:38:53.960 --> 00:38:57.239
couple of comments I want to get
to before we take a break. On

480
00:38:57.320 --> 00:39:00.599
rock fan Handy good to see,
says, Bank America was where my dad

481
00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:04.400
banked when he moved to Missouri.
They waited until the day of closing to

482
00:39:04.440 --> 00:39:07.320
reject the loan. There you go. He ended up with a local bank

483
00:39:07.360 --> 00:39:12.599
instead, but the deal almost crashed. So maybe it wasn't me personally.

484
00:39:12.679 --> 00:39:15.239
Maybe it's just Bank of America.
Stay away from these people. They will

485
00:39:15.280 --> 00:39:20.960
mess you up one way or the
other. Joe Biden challenged Trump to a

486
00:39:20.960 --> 00:39:24.239
pair of debates. This has just
been released. Travis says first one would

487
00:39:24.280 --> 00:39:30.880
be as early as June, the
second for early September. Biden's camp rejected

488
00:39:30.159 --> 00:39:36.760
allowing the Nonpartisan Commission on Presidential Debates
to run the debates and wants the debates

489
00:39:36.800 --> 00:39:42.159
to be in a closed TV studio
with no live audience. Gets some confused

490
00:39:42.199 --> 00:39:49.239
if other people are talking, he
can think, and with microphones they cut

491
00:39:49.280 --> 00:39:52.440
off if they go over there alloted
time. Biden told Trump, go ahead,

492
00:39:52.480 --> 00:39:55.800
make my day. Well, okay, there you go. He's a

493
00:39:55.800 --> 00:39:59.480
big man. He's going to sign
up for debate. These guys are so

494
00:39:59.639 --> 00:40:04.920
pathetic. They're not running the show, folks, They're just puppets. They're

495
00:40:05.039 --> 00:40:07.840
sock puppets. The question is who's
got their hand up there behind waving their

496
00:40:07.920 --> 00:40:10.719
arms and legs. You know,
that's that's why they ain't got to ask

497
00:40:10.800 --> 00:40:15.199
yourself. Okay, we're going to
take a quick break and we'll be right

498
00:40:15.239 --> 00:41:55.239
back. You're listening to the David
Night Show. Yeah, let's take a

499
00:41:55.239 --> 00:41:59.559
look at what is going on in
Ukraine here before we do real quickly,

500
00:41:59.840 --> 00:42:02.760
just I want to say thank you
to Kishan g. Thank you for the

501
00:42:02.800 --> 00:42:07.559
tip on rockfand Hi David and team. I enjoy listening with you to your

502
00:42:07.599 --> 00:42:09.280
show daily, even though I don't
agree with all of your opinions. Well

503
00:42:09.880 --> 00:42:13.920
of course we're not. If you're
critically thinking, you're probably not going to

504
00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:16.440
agree with me on everything because we're
going to see some things differently. I

505
00:42:16.480 --> 00:42:21.599
tell you what I think. I
try to give you the news objectively,

506
00:42:21.920 --> 00:42:23.800
and then I tell you what I
think about it. But of course even

507
00:42:23.840 --> 00:42:29.239
the things that I think are important
are going to reflect my personal opinions and

508
00:42:29.280 --> 00:42:31.960
biases as well. Anybody tells you
that they're completely objective, that they're the

509
00:42:32.000 --> 00:42:37.119
sole source of truth or reject those
people. They're either fools who believe that

510
00:42:37.280 --> 00:42:40.320
themselves or they're cynically lying to you
about it. But I you know,

511
00:42:40.360 --> 00:42:45.599
again, I have my biases,
and I'll tell you why I think what

512
00:42:45.719 --> 00:42:50.440
I think. But and it's very
important for us to understand that. And

513
00:42:50.480 --> 00:42:52.960
I'm not saying that you have to
listen to people that you disagree with,

514
00:42:52.039 --> 00:42:57.559
it's just that you don't want to
demand that they be canceled. That that

515
00:42:57.719 --> 00:43:02.239
is a very big tell. I
think people who you know, whether they're

516
00:43:02.320 --> 00:43:06.920
left or right now, we see
this on both sides want to shut down

517
00:43:06.960 --> 00:43:08.840
the opposition. And it's like,
Okay, what have you got to hide?

518
00:43:08.840 --> 00:43:12.360
What is it that you're trying to
lie to us about? Because that's

519
00:43:12.400 --> 00:43:15.559
what censorship is about. It's always
about covering up lines. The truth doesn't

520
00:43:15.599 --> 00:43:19.760
need to be defended, it needs
to be unleashed. So she said,

521
00:43:19.760 --> 00:43:22.559
I can't afford much, but here's
my small token of my appreciation. Well,

522
00:43:22.599 --> 00:43:24.039
thank you very much. That is
very generous. I appreciate that.

523
00:43:24.800 --> 00:43:30.159
I really like your interviews with Eric
Gerald and Tony. Keep up the work.

524
00:43:30.360 --> 00:43:32.760
One question, do you think Alex's
Info Wars is going to be shut

525
00:43:32.760 --> 00:43:36.800
down. I'm a fan of his, but just wondering your thoughts. No,

526
00:43:37.159 --> 00:43:42.000
No, it won't be. You
know, he hasn't paid a penny

527
00:43:42.679 --> 00:43:45.639
out of this one point four billion
dollar judgment and he's not going to pay

528
00:43:45.639 --> 00:43:49.159
anything. And he was bragging about
He's bragged about that on air, he

529
00:43:49.199 --> 00:43:51.880
bragged about it privately. How he's
going to get out of that. He

530
00:43:51.960 --> 00:43:54.840
knew he was going to lose.
He chose not to give them the information.

531
00:43:55.159 --> 00:43:59.800
And that's not a theory. Remember
that clip and he says, oh,

532
00:43:59.840 --> 00:44:01.199
this is your Perry Mason moment.
Why was it the Perry Mason moment?

533
00:44:01.840 --> 00:44:06.280
Well, because he had always said
I gave him everything that they wanted,

534
00:44:06.360 --> 00:44:07.639
you know, all this kind of
stuff. He didn't give them everything

535
00:44:07.679 --> 00:44:10.920
they wanted. He was playing a
shell game. He's moving money around,

536
00:44:12.679 --> 00:44:16.000
delaying this stuff, and he did
not give them what they demanded. And

537
00:44:16.039 --> 00:44:21.000
you automatically lose a case when you
don't do that. He knew he was

538
00:44:21.039 --> 00:44:23.719
going to lose a case. He
was just dragging it out and he got

539
00:44:23.760 --> 00:44:28.719
caught when he was on the stand. His lawyer always hired the best.

540
00:44:29.920 --> 00:44:36.519
His lawyer sent. His lawyer looked
great. I mean he really was out

541
00:44:36.519 --> 00:44:42.840
of Fashion magazine, but evidently wasn't
the brightest guy, because his lawyer sent

542
00:44:43.840 --> 00:44:52.599
Alex's phone information to the opposing counsel
and then never and there's a period of

543
00:44:52.599 --> 00:44:57.800
time, it's like one or two
weeks or something, and never said disregard

544
00:44:57.840 --> 00:44:59.960
that. If he'd said, if
he'd realized that he made a mistake,

545
00:45:00.119 --> 00:45:02.280
sent it by mistake, or if
his staff had sent it by mistake,

546
00:45:02.320 --> 00:45:07.840
he could have always pulled it back
and said disregard that, and the other

547
00:45:07.920 --> 00:45:13.280
lawyer would have to have disregarded it. I guess I don't know what the

548
00:45:13.360 --> 00:45:15.400
rules are with that, but I
guess there's some kind of professional courtesy thing

549
00:45:15.559 --> 00:45:19.480
or maybe the rules of the bar
or something like that. If it's a

550
00:45:19.480 --> 00:45:22.239
mistake and you catch it, but
if it sets there for a week or

551
00:45:22.280 --> 00:45:25.199
two weeks and you know, pull
it back, it's fair game for him

552
00:45:25.239 --> 00:45:30.239
to use it. And so opposing
counsel confronted Alex and said, well,

553
00:45:30.280 --> 00:45:31.679
you know, you said this didn't
happen, and you said you didn't have

554
00:45:31.679 --> 00:45:35.400
this information when we asked you for
but here it is. It was sent

555
00:45:35.400 --> 00:45:37.840
to me by your lawyer by mistake. And ale said, oh, so

556
00:45:37.880 --> 00:45:40.280
this is your Perry Mason moment.
Yeah, it really was a Perry Mason

557
00:45:40.320 --> 00:45:45.360
moment because it showed that Alex had
chosen not to defend free speech. Look,

558
00:45:46.519 --> 00:45:49.920
I was there when all this stuff
was going on with Sandy Hook,

559
00:45:51.079 --> 00:45:54.440
and it was it was a debate, and it should have been fair to

560
00:45:55.159 --> 00:46:00.320
say all that stuff. There wasn't
anything that was said that was unfair in

561
00:46:00.320 --> 00:46:05.840
my opinion. And yet there were, you know, there was talk about

562
00:46:05.880 --> 00:46:07.639
this kind of stuff and it got
to be a real hot pitato in it,

563
00:46:08.199 --> 00:46:15.159
and there were problems with Wolfgang Halbig
as a credible source, and so

564
00:46:16.079 --> 00:46:19.599
Alex said, let's, you know, let's shut this thing down. Let's

565
00:46:19.639 --> 00:46:23.199
not talk about this anymore. I
was perfectly fine about doing that. I

566
00:46:23.239 --> 00:46:27.119
had no interest in talking about it. And then when Owen came, Owen

567
00:46:27.159 --> 00:46:29.440
wanted to open up that can of
worms, and he wanted to open up

568
00:46:29.440 --> 00:46:32.360
the can of worms about Pizzagate.
And basically he just stepped in a whole

569
00:46:32.599 --> 00:46:37.440
several different piles of dog poop and
tracked them through the organization, which resulted

570
00:46:37.599 --> 00:46:43.800
in these lawsuits that were there,
and that's when it fired up again.

571
00:46:43.960 --> 00:46:45.239
But there was a lot of political
angle to it. As well, of

572
00:46:45.239 --> 00:46:53.000
course, no doubt about it.
But Alex chose to try to preserve his

573
00:46:53.119 --> 00:46:59.639
money by whatever secretive means he used
offshore bank accounts and stuff like that.

574
00:47:00.360 --> 00:47:05.079
He chose to preserve his tens of
millions that he was paying himself every year

575
00:47:05.800 --> 00:47:10.119
and to not defend free speech and
a free press. So he chose not

576
00:47:10.159 --> 00:47:14.159
to play that game. He chose
not to participate and defend what he had

577
00:47:14.199 --> 00:47:16.599
to say as being fair under the
First Amendment, which it was, but

578
00:47:16.679 --> 00:47:20.760
he chose to go the underhanded route. And you know, I think I

579
00:47:20.760 --> 00:47:25.559
can beat him by hiding stuff rather
than making arguments. And so that's the

580
00:47:25.599 --> 00:47:29.480
situation he's in now. But he
hasn't had to pay a penny to these

581
00:47:29.519 --> 00:47:34.639
people one point four billion dollars,
hasn't paid any of it. Still maneuvering,

582
00:47:34.760 --> 00:47:37.199
still moving around, and so yeah, he is. He's got a

583
00:47:37.239 --> 00:47:44.840
lot of connections. As I I've
said before, I've never known anybody before

584
00:47:44.920 --> 00:47:49.519
or since that has so many friends
and family as cnia as Alex does.

585
00:47:50.360 --> 00:47:54.679
Something weird about that, don't you
think it seems to be a protected individual

586
00:47:54.719 --> 00:47:59.880
when it comes to January the sixth
or this other stuff. For whatever reason,

587
00:48:00.039 --> 00:48:04.840
on rock fan Guards Goldsmith. Bank
of America also bought Merrill Lynch,

588
00:48:04.880 --> 00:48:08.440
that's right, and a government broker
special deal where the government brought bought a

589
00:48:08.480 --> 00:48:12.360
lot of Merrill Lynch debt. Yes, that's right. And well, you

590
00:48:12.360 --> 00:48:15.119
know, and being able to buy
Merrill Lynch that was tied, I believe

591
00:48:15.280 --> 00:48:22.039
to getting rid of the you know, the Glass Stigelact, because the banks

592
00:48:22.039 --> 00:48:24.800
were doing a lot of speculative stuff
before the stock market crash on the nineteen

593
00:48:24.840 --> 00:48:29.360
twenties, and they said, all
right, to restore confidence in the system,

594
00:48:29.519 --> 00:48:32.239
the federal government will set up a
corporation to ensure the bank deposits.

595
00:48:34.000 --> 00:48:37.079
But we're going to meet, we're
going to require that you can't participate in

596
00:48:37.119 --> 00:48:42.079
these risky things. And so when
they took that away, Bank of America

597
00:48:42.159 --> 00:48:45.880
could buy Merrill Lynch and these other
people who were doing these securitized real estate

598
00:48:46.280 --> 00:48:51.679
loans and everything. And yeah,
and the government bought a lot of the

599
00:48:51.719 --> 00:48:53.440
debt. I mean, it's just
it's just revolving door, just like you

600
00:48:53.480 --> 00:48:59.480
see with the vaccine stuff, like
we're going to see with the agricultural stuff,

601
00:49:00.360 --> 00:49:06.960
the attacks on our food supply.
It is again this to think that

602
00:49:07.000 --> 00:49:10.480
there's a difference between the Republicans Democrats
is like thinking that there's a difference between

603
00:49:10.519 --> 00:49:15.239
the multinational big corporations and the government
that's supposed to be overseeing them. They're

604
00:49:15.280 --> 00:49:20.480
not adversaries, they're partners. They're
partners, just like the Republicans and Democrats

605
00:49:20.519 --> 00:49:24.800
are not adversaries. They're partners on
the key existential issues that confront us.

606
00:49:25.320 --> 00:49:30.679
By the way, Rockfan Handy says, the thing with my dad happened back

607
00:49:30.719 --> 00:49:34.719
in two thousand and six. Well, that's interesting, So it looks like

608
00:49:34.760 --> 00:49:42.760
maybe they've got some systemic inefficiencies and
how they work, so you can add

609
00:49:42.800 --> 00:49:52.280
that to their craven government sycophancy.
The Russians simply walked in Ukrainian troops in

610
00:49:52.400 --> 00:50:00.320
Kharkiv. Tel BBC Dennis Yuoslavsky is
angry. As the commander of a Ukrainian

611
00:50:00.360 --> 00:50:06.599
special reconnaissance unit, he fought in
Ukraine's surprise offensive in Kharkiv in the autumn

612
00:50:06.679 --> 00:50:09.920
of twenty twenty two, which pushed
back an initial Russian invasion all the way

613
00:50:09.960 --> 00:50:15.800
back to the border. But now
Dennis and his men are facing the prospect

614
00:50:15.880 --> 00:50:20.760
they're doing it all over again.
Russian forces have in recent days made small

615
00:50:20.800 --> 00:50:25.840
but significant gains right along the border
and the Kharkiv region. Their advances are

616
00:50:25.880 --> 00:50:30.400
only a few miles deep, but
have swallowed up around sixty two miles of

617
00:50:30.480 --> 00:50:37.039
Ukrainian territory and the more heavily defended
east of Ukraine. It has taken Russia

618
00:50:37.159 --> 00:50:42.519
months to achieve the same penetration.
They did it in just a couple of

619
00:50:42.599 --> 00:50:45.159
days, and they just walked right
in. By the way, do you

620
00:50:45.199 --> 00:50:49.599
notice a subtext here they don't point
out. BBC says, well, you

621
00:50:49.599 --> 00:50:52.719
know, they've advanced over here,
and they've advanced over here. They're comparing

622
00:50:52.760 --> 00:50:54.559
how quickly they were able to advance
into two places. But the bottom line

623
00:50:54.599 --> 00:51:00.960
is they're winning everywhere. They're winning
everywhere. Is an unwinnable war. It's

624
00:51:00.960 --> 00:51:02.719
been an unwinnable war from the very
beginning. It was very interesting at the

625
00:51:02.800 --> 00:51:08.320
very beginning, and it's hard whenever
there's a war to get objective information.

626
00:51:08.639 --> 00:51:14.360
Usually people have a dog in the
fight, and so I thought probably the

627
00:51:14.400 --> 00:51:20.039
best objective information was coming out of
the Indian press at the very beginning of

628
00:51:20.079 --> 00:51:22.840
this, and they had some Indian
military people talking about it, and they

629
00:51:22.840 --> 00:51:28.079
weren't heavily allied with either the US
or with Russia, so they weren't spending

630
00:51:28.119 --> 00:51:32.039
it for one or the other.
And they were saying this is you know,

631
00:51:32.159 --> 00:51:35.679
they were talking about fighting them to
the last Ukrainian. They said,

632
00:51:36.000 --> 00:51:38.400
you can't win this. And I
think the best summation of it was from

633
00:51:38.599 --> 00:51:45.119
Colonel Douglas McGregor, who said,
this is like a war between Mexico and

634
00:51:45.159 --> 00:51:49.199
the United States. The United States
is going to ultimately win that war,

635
00:51:49.440 --> 00:51:52.719
overwhelming them with resources and people and
technology and all the rest of this stuff,

636
00:51:52.800 --> 00:51:57.320
right, And that's what's going to
happen here. It's just a matter

637
00:51:57.360 --> 00:52:02.159
of time. And they don't really
care, you see. And Arrestovich knew

638
00:52:02.199 --> 00:52:08.599
that. Alexei Arrestovich knew that he
was. He came in in twenty nineteen

639
00:52:09.719 --> 00:52:16.039
with Zelenski. They ran on a
platform of peace because at that point in

640
00:52:16.039 --> 00:52:22.440
time that already had five years of
civil war after the CIA Victoria Newlan engineered

641
00:52:22.559 --> 00:52:30.000
coup. The areas that didn't like
the new government wanted to secede and be

642
00:52:30.159 --> 00:52:35.679
with Russia or fighting that government,
and so they shelled civilian populations for five

643
00:52:35.760 --> 00:52:42.280
years. And Arrestovich was part of
Zelensky's peace group and he came back and

644
00:52:42.360 --> 00:52:44.280
was interviewed on TV and they said, so, what's going to happen.

645
00:52:44.320 --> 00:52:45.960
We're gonna have peace. Oh,
no, it's not going to happen.

646
00:52:45.639 --> 00:52:49.000
Oh, that's bad. He goes, oh, it's even worse than that.

647
00:52:49.559 --> 00:52:52.880
He said in three years twenty twenty
two when it did kick off.

648
00:52:52.960 --> 00:52:54.559
In three years, we're going to
be at war with Russia. He said,

649
00:52:54.599 --> 00:52:58.440
that's horrible. He says, yeah, and the country is going to

650
00:52:58.440 --> 00:53:02.320
be havoced, is what he said. A stated, how can that be?

651
00:53:02.519 --> 00:53:06.280
She said, and said, well, here's the good news. We

652
00:53:06.360 --> 00:53:09.440
get into you into a NATO,
right, they don't care what happens to

653
00:53:09.519 --> 00:53:16.239
Ukraine, the the Ukrainians that the
NATO people have put in charge, with

654
00:53:16.280 --> 00:53:19.280
the coup and the rest of the
stuff. They don't care what happens to

655
00:53:19.280 --> 00:53:22.400
the rest of the country, just
like the people in our country don't care

656
00:53:22.440 --> 00:53:24.719
what happens to the rest of the
country. Just like the Israeli government doesn't

657
00:53:24.719 --> 00:53:30.760
care what happens to Israelis, let
alone Palestinians. They've got their geopolitical objectives

658
00:53:30.800 --> 00:53:34.679
and you know, the hell with
you. We don't care what happens to

659
00:53:34.719 --> 00:53:38.280
the rest of the country. And
he said that matter of factly said that,

660
00:53:39.199 --> 00:53:47.679
and so it's not a surprise.
Yeah, but you have people like

661
00:53:47.760 --> 00:53:52.039
Chris Christy and Lindsey Graham. This
is good. Let's do more of it.

662
00:53:52.119 --> 00:53:57.519
Let's keep this going. Because they
also don't care about the loss of

663
00:53:57.559 --> 00:54:02.920
life in Ukraine. They all they
also don't care about the country being absolutely

664
00:54:04.000 --> 00:54:07.880
totally destroyed. The only thing they
care about their little geopolitical objective of weakening

665
00:54:07.960 --> 00:54:12.960
Russia. And if we can use
the Ukrainians to do that for us,

666
00:54:13.800 --> 00:54:15.440
yeah, we'll use them as our
surrogate army. We don't care about their

667
00:54:15.480 --> 00:54:22.840
lives. It don't matter whatever Travis
is pro Russian. Slovakian Prime Minister Robert

668
00:54:22.039 --> 00:54:28.280
Fico has been shut Oh is this
going to be like the Archduke Ferdinand.

669
00:54:29.199 --> 00:54:35.079
No reports on his condition yet.
It's apparently a close ally of Hungarian Prime

670
00:54:35.079 --> 00:54:38.679
Minister Victor Orbon. Oh well,
we'll see what happens with that. It

671
00:54:38.760 --> 00:54:45.639
keeps escalating, doesn't But again,
they really don't care. The war has

672
00:54:45.679 --> 00:54:50.440
been lost. The war was lost
from the beginning. This is just about

673
00:54:50.480 --> 00:54:55.760
bleeding Russia, that's all. It's
about all this money, all this blood,

674
00:54:57.199 --> 00:55:01.800
so we can bloody Russia and and
perhaps you know the real goal is

675
00:55:01.840 --> 00:55:07.840
to have a world war for a
depopulation. So going back to Ukraine,

676
00:55:07.920 --> 00:55:14.079
this guy who was the commander of
recon Unit Dennis on a Special Forces recon

677
00:55:14.440 --> 00:55:19.679
he wants to know what happened to
Ukraine's defenses, says the BBC. He

678
00:55:19.719 --> 00:55:22.679
said, there was no first line
of defense. We saw it. The

679
00:55:22.760 --> 00:55:28.760
Russians just walked in. They just
walked in without any mind feels. He

680
00:55:28.800 --> 00:55:32.360
says. Officials had claimed that defenses
were being built, they said at huge

681
00:55:32.519 --> 00:55:39.320
cost. But in his view,
those defenses simply weren't there. He said,

682
00:55:39.400 --> 00:55:45.400
either it was an act of negligence
or corruption. It wasn't a failure,

683
00:55:45.280 --> 00:55:50.000
it was a betrayal. He knows
that. And of course you can

684
00:55:50.039 --> 00:55:53.880
look at all the villas that Zelensky
has put everywhere in the Paris shopping trips

685
00:55:53.920 --> 00:56:01.679
of his wife, and how he's
nested the ownership of the foreign villas through

686
00:56:01.800 --> 00:56:07.320
multiple you know, corporations. It's
like a Madrioski doll, you know,

687
00:56:07.079 --> 00:56:09.559
got a dig and then who owns
this one, who owns this one,

688
00:56:09.599 --> 00:56:13.559
who owns us? Eventually you get
there and it's in the name of his

689
00:56:13.599 --> 00:56:20.400
wife. Everyone knew this encourasion was
likely to happen, just like everybody knows

690
00:56:20.840 --> 00:56:24.679
that Ukraine is going to lose the
war. But these guys who got the

691
00:56:24.800 --> 00:56:30.920
money didn't build a fortification, as
Dennis says, he says, of course

692
00:56:30.960 --> 00:56:36.800
I'm angry when we're fighting back for
this. We lost thousands of people,

693
00:56:36.800 --> 00:56:40.360
We risked our own lives, and
now because somebody didn't build any fortifications,

694
00:56:40.400 --> 00:56:47.159
we're losing people again. They took
this money from the likes of McConnell and

695
00:56:47.280 --> 00:56:58.039
Schumer and trader Mike Johnson, and
they ran, they ran, and so

696
00:56:58.119 --> 00:57:02.679
that was a BBC story. There
was a local story that was done by

697
00:57:02.960 --> 00:57:09.360
Ukrainska Pravda on Monday. You know
the truth of Ukraine. I guess military

698
00:57:09.360 --> 00:57:15.639
and civilian authorities in Ukraine's Kharkov region
paid millions of dollars to fake companies,

699
00:57:15.960 --> 00:57:23.960
fake companies for the supply of non
existent building materials to construct defensive fortifications that

700
00:57:23.960 --> 00:57:30.480
they didn't build. So the newspaper
Ukraineska Pravda on Monday, with no fortifications

701
00:57:30.519 --> 00:57:36.119
built, Russian forces have advanced rapidly
through the region. Writing on Monday,

702
00:57:36.760 --> 00:57:45.599
the paper said Ukrainian anti corruption activist
Martina Bogoslavits explained that the Regional Military Administration

703
00:57:45.760 --> 00:57:52.239
had been given one hundred and seventy
six and a half million dollars to build

704
00:57:52.239 --> 00:57:57.119
fortifications to hold back this advance.
Much of the money was embezzled, she

705
00:57:57.239 --> 00:58:04.880
claimed. For the supply of wood, the Regional Military Administration signed contracts of

706
00:58:05.000 --> 00:58:09.199
six point eight million dollars with five
companies that were set up immediately after the

707
00:58:09.239 --> 00:58:14.639
contracts were nounced. Oh okay,
they didn't have any they didn't exist before

708
00:58:15.840 --> 00:58:20.760
they get the contracts. They create
these companies. Then the next thing is

709
00:58:20.800 --> 00:58:25.800
they have no bid contracts. No
bidding process took place. And at least

710
00:58:25.920 --> 00:58:30.960
two of these three companies. Two
of these companies were owned by the same

711
00:58:31.239 --> 00:58:36.239
person. She said. This is
almost as bad as Dick Cheney in Iraq.

712
00:58:36.599 --> 00:58:38.599
There's no bid contracts with Haliburton and
other stuff. Now, of course,

713
00:58:38.599 --> 00:58:43.840
Haliburton was a genuine construction company.
They didn't even bother to have genuine

714
00:58:43.840 --> 00:58:51.679
construction companies in this They get the
money from the Congress, the American Congress,

715
00:58:51.719 --> 00:58:57.079
and they set up some contracts and
then they create some phony companies and

716
00:58:57.440 --> 00:59:00.679
they just take all the money.
They said. The owners of these firms

717
00:59:00.760 --> 00:59:06.039
do not resemble successful businessmen and business
women. She said. They have dozens

718
00:59:06.119 --> 00:59:10.920
of court cases from whiskey theft to
domestic violence against the husband and mother.

719
00:59:12.280 --> 00:59:16.920
Some of them are deprived of printal
rights and have had enforcement proceedings for bank

720
00:59:16.960 --> 00:59:28.760
loans. It's just organized crime.
Boguslavits describe these business owners as avatars placed

721
00:59:28.800 --> 00:59:31.679
in charge of the companies, either
for a small fee or without their knowledge,

722
00:59:31.719 --> 00:59:38.679
oh like Zelenski himself, or perhaps
like McConnell and Mike Johnson and Chuckie

723
00:59:38.679 --> 00:59:45.679
Schumer, avatars, but in place
by the real government, the intelligence community,

724
00:59:46.039 --> 00:59:52.599
and the military industrial complex of this
American empire. The naked eye can

725
00:59:52.679 --> 00:59:59.719
see how a government official mercilessly registers
new companies using for this purpose people who,

726
01:00:00.199 --> 01:00:02.559
due to the circumstances, may not
be aware of this, and this

727
01:00:02.679 --> 01:00:08.800
someone continues to make money on blood. She wrote. The lack of defensive

728
01:00:08.800 --> 01:00:15.960
fortifications allowed Russian forces dinner Kharkiv region
almost unopposed. They also quote this guy,

729
01:00:15.440 --> 01:00:22.280
Dennis Yaroslavski that the BBC talked to
no line of defense. We saw

730
01:00:22.360 --> 01:00:24.840
the Russians just walked in. They
walked in without any mind feels. He

731
01:00:24.880 --> 01:00:30.480
said it wasn't a failure. It
was a betrayal. And folks, this

732
01:00:30.880 --> 01:00:37.760
war is going to be lost,
and just remember when it is lost that

733
01:00:37.880 --> 01:00:40.760
it wasn't a failure, it was
a betrayal. It was a betrayal from

734
01:00:40.760 --> 01:00:46.000
the very beginning. And then we
look at the Israeli thing. Have I

735
01:00:46.079 --> 01:00:53.400
don't like to cover it in detail
because there is it's nothing but a slush

736
01:00:53.480 --> 01:00:59.440
pool of lies from both sides.
With a fog of war, you can't

737
01:00:59.440 --> 01:01:01.800
really see what going on. Everybody
is lying about what happened? You know,

738
01:01:01.920 --> 01:01:05.719
did this atrocity happen? Did that
one happened? We know people are

739
01:01:05.760 --> 01:01:08.559
dying, of course, but to
get the numbers and to see, you

740
01:01:08.599 --> 01:01:13.159
know, who's doing what it really
is not possible for us to know that.

741
01:01:13.920 --> 01:01:16.400
So I stayed out of that.
My position is America first, Peace,

742
01:01:16.760 --> 01:01:22.519
Peace first, impose a just war
restriction, not what we saw yesterday

743
01:01:22.519 --> 01:01:25.639
from Mark Milly. Oh well,
you know, there's here's what you need

744
01:01:25.679 --> 01:01:28.760
to have for a war. You
need to have a political reason, You

745
01:01:28.760 --> 01:01:32.239
need to make it fast. Really
well, you don't even do that.

746
01:01:34.000 --> 01:01:42.000
Your wars last forever by design,
they last forever. That alone would make

747
01:01:42.000 --> 01:01:45.760
them unjust. But the fact that
you strike other people pemptively, they have

748
01:01:45.840 --> 01:01:51.559
not hit this country. It's not
a it's not a legitimate prelude to war.

749
01:01:51.639 --> 01:01:55.440
To see somebody making, you know, bold and aggressive statements and building

750
01:01:55.519 --> 01:02:01.360
up a military that doesn't justify it. But now what we've had is a

751
01:02:01.440 --> 01:02:09.719
US Army major who has quit the
Defense Intelligence Agency and protest of what he

752
01:02:09.760 --> 01:02:15.719
has seen. Now, this I
think is credible because like the doctors who

753
01:02:16.400 --> 01:02:22.599
eventually came around and started talking about
what they saw happening with the vaccines and

754
01:02:22.639 --> 01:02:27.599
with the hospital death protocol that Trump
was paying people to do, these doctors

755
01:02:27.679 --> 01:02:31.920
had nothing to gain and everything to
lose by telling the truth about what Trump

756
01:02:31.960 --> 01:02:36.440
and Biden were doing, and the
big pharmaceutical companies and the FDA and the

757
01:02:36.440 --> 01:02:39.119
CDC all of it right, and
they did. They paid the price,

758
01:02:39.280 --> 01:02:44.199
They lost their career. Same thing
with this guy. He has nothing to

759
01:02:44.280 --> 01:02:50.880
gain from blowing the whistle on this. Nothing. He resigned from this.

760
01:02:51.079 --> 01:02:54.840
It's the end of his career,
and he's doing it because he can no

761
01:02:54.960 --> 01:03:00.000
longer be a part of what he
says is ethnic cleansing. US Army officers

762
01:03:00.039 --> 01:03:07.039
resigned from his posts on zero Hedge
at the Defense Intelligence Agency to protest Washington's

763
01:03:07.079 --> 01:03:14.159
quote nearly unqualified support for the government
of Israel, unquote support that has facilitated

764
01:03:14.199 --> 01:03:19.039
what he calls the killing and starvation
of tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians.

765
01:03:19.320 --> 01:03:24.079
He describes himself as a descendant of
European Jews. He said he was raised

766
01:03:24.119 --> 01:03:30.719
to be particularly unforgiving. He said, where responsibility for ethnic cleansing is concerned,

767
01:03:31.199 --> 01:03:34.400
you see, we have to be
careful. We don't become what we

768
01:03:34.480 --> 01:03:37.360
fight. You want to say we're
not going to have ethnic cleansing, you

769
01:03:37.400 --> 01:03:40.000
want to say we're not going to
have discrimination and racism, But then you

770
01:03:40.079 --> 01:03:45.840
promote those values as part of your
government, as part of what you donate

771
01:03:45.920 --> 01:03:53.400
money to at the universities, you
support those racist policies. You become what

772
01:03:53.519 --> 01:04:00.079
you fought. And that's always That's
always the trap, isn't it? And

773
01:04:00.239 --> 01:04:03.320
Major Harrison Man left THEA in April. He sent a two page letter to

774
01:04:03.400 --> 01:04:06.400
a group of his colleagues there saying
that he felt that they were owed an

775
01:04:06.440 --> 01:04:13.119
explanation for his quote relatively abrupt departure. On Monday, he shared the letter

776
01:04:13.159 --> 01:04:16.719
with the public via a post to
his linked end page. Well, I

777
01:04:16.760 --> 01:04:20.400
can't get the full letter. I'm
banned on LinkedIn as well, so,

778
01:04:23.920 --> 01:04:28.280
but they do have a significant number
of quotes that they've taken out on this

779
01:04:28.480 --> 01:04:32.599
zero Hedge article. What he has
to say, says, I'll read the

780
01:04:32.679 --> 01:04:38.639
quotes that they had. He said, I cannot justify staying silent any longer.

781
01:04:38.880 --> 01:04:42.760
It is clear that this week some
of you will still be asked to

782
01:04:42.840 --> 01:04:47.760
provide support directly or indirectly to the
Israeli military as it conducts operations into Rafa

783
01:04:48.119 --> 01:04:51.679
and elsewhere in Gaza. I am
sharing my letter now in the hope that

784
01:04:51.760 --> 01:04:57.079
you too will discover that you are
not alone, You are not voiceless,

785
01:04:57.440 --> 01:05:01.800
and you are not powerless. And
the April letter explaining his departure zero h

786
01:05:01.840 --> 01:05:09.360
says Man describes how his growing misgivings
grew as the IDF's retaliation for October seventh

787
01:05:10.239 --> 01:05:14.079
continued with US government help. He
said, each of us signed up to

788
01:05:14.199 --> 01:05:18.679
serve knowing that we might have to
support policies that we weren't fully convinced of.

789
01:05:19.679 --> 01:05:25.719
Our defense institutions couldn't function otherwise.
However, at some point it became

790
01:05:25.920 --> 01:05:35.440
difficult, he says, lost my
place here Okay, this is the problem

791
01:05:35.519 --> 01:05:45.360
with electronics stuff here the yeah,
a little bit further here, Okay,

792
01:05:46.320 --> 01:05:50.920
it just skipped into a unknown zone
and we've got to recover, get back

793
01:05:50.920 --> 01:05:55.119
to where we are. It's thinking
about it here we are, it came

794
01:05:55.159 --> 01:05:59.960
back. How about that? Okay, So he says, at some point,

795
01:06:00.920 --> 01:06:04.440
whatever the justification, you are either
advancing a policy that enables the mass

796
01:06:04.440 --> 01:06:10.320
starvation of children or you're not.
And you can see their picture of a

797
01:06:10.440 --> 01:06:16.880
child literally star How many times have
we men shown pictures similar to that that

798
01:06:16.920 --> 01:06:23.119
the Nazis did to people in concentration
camps. Do we become the monsters that

799
01:06:23.159 --> 01:06:27.800
we fought in April? You know? Sef said one and three Gaza children

800
01:06:27.880 --> 01:06:32.119
under two years old are acutely malnourished. When Israel began retaliating after October the

801
01:06:32.199 --> 01:06:39.079
seventh, the Defense Minister Gallant declared, I have ordered a complete siege on

802
01:06:39.440 --> 01:06:44.000
Gaza Strip. There will be no
electricity, no food, no fuel.

803
01:06:44.199 --> 01:06:47.639
Everything is closed. We are fighting
human animals, and we're acting accordingly.

804
01:06:47.679 --> 01:06:53.480
He said. By the way,
that is the same type of thing that

805
01:06:53.480 --> 01:06:56.840
we're going to see these globalists lead
to. They want to shut down our

806
01:06:56.840 --> 01:07:00.159
electricity, our food, our fuel. They're doing it right now with EPA.

807
01:07:01.000 --> 01:07:03.280
They're going to do it gradually,
and then one day they're going to

808
01:07:03.280 --> 01:07:10.079
do it suddenly. Right be prepared
for that. They're doing it gradually right

809
01:07:10.119 --> 01:07:13.599
now, the same things they did
because they're at war with us, our

810
01:07:13.679 --> 01:07:18.079
own government. The EPA is at
war with us. So be prepared.

811
01:07:18.920 --> 01:07:23.559
He so we enabled and empowered the
kill. This is the guy he resigned

812
01:07:23.559 --> 01:07:26.599
again from the DA. This is
him talking again. He said, we

813
01:07:26.679 --> 01:07:30.400
enabled to empower the killing and starvation
of tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians.

814
01:07:30.920 --> 01:07:33.559
The past months have presented us with
the most horrific and heartbreaking images imaginable,

815
01:07:33.840 --> 01:07:38.000
sometimes playing on the news in our
own spaces, and I have been unable

816
01:07:38.079 --> 01:07:42.639
to ignore connection between those images and
my duties here, which has caused me

817
01:07:42.679 --> 01:07:46.760
incredible shame and guilt. By the
way, yesterday is made public that Biden

818
01:07:46.880 --> 01:07:51.480
said, I'll tell you where the
Hamas leaders are hiding. We know where

819
01:07:51.480 --> 01:07:54.519
they are, we know where their
tunnels are, and I'll tell you where

820
01:07:54.559 --> 01:07:59.719
they are if you do this.
And this they've known, Israelis have known,

821
01:08:00.559 --> 01:08:04.679
They've chosen not to go after the
leaders of Hamas to go after so

822
01:08:04.719 --> 01:08:09.440
they could go after the civilian population
because they would to purge them out of

823
01:08:09.480 --> 01:08:13.199
there, he said. I told
myself my individual contribution was minimal, and

824
01:08:13.199 --> 01:08:15.640
that if I didn't do my job, somebody else would. So why cause

825
01:08:15.680 --> 01:08:19.399
a stir for nothing? I told
myself, I don't make policy, it's

826
01:08:19.439 --> 01:08:24.880
not my place to question it.
Above all, I was afraid. I

827
01:08:24.960 --> 01:08:30.039
was afraid of violating our professional norms, Afraid of disappointing officers that I respect,

828
01:08:30.399 --> 01:08:34.800
Afraid that you would feel betrayed.
He says, as the descendant of

829
01:08:34.840 --> 01:08:39.800
European Jews, I was raised in
a particularly unforgiving moral environment when it came

830
01:08:39.840 --> 01:08:45.279
to the topic of bearing responsibility for
ethnic cleansing. My grandfather refused to ever

831
01:08:45.439 --> 01:08:51.279
purchase products manufactured in Germany, where
the paramount importance of never again and the

832
01:08:51.359 --> 01:09:00.000
inadequacy of just following orders were oft
repeated. I am haunted by the knowledge

833
01:09:00.239 --> 01:09:04.039
that I have failed those principles.
But I also have hoped that my grandfather

834
01:09:04.439 --> 01:09:08.960
would afford me some grace, that
he would still be proud of me for

835
01:09:09.000 --> 01:09:15.159
stepping away from this war. However, belatedly, he Man also noted America's

836
01:09:15.279 --> 01:09:26.199
unconditional support, also encourages reckless escalation
that risks a wider war. I think

837
01:09:26.239 --> 01:09:29.600
that's true in the Middle East.
I think that's true in Ukraine. I

838
01:09:29.600 --> 01:09:32.319
think that's true in China as well. Well, we're going to take a

839
01:09:32.359 --> 01:10:30.399
quick break and we will be right
back. You're listening to the David Knight

840
01:10:30.479 --> 01:10:34.720
Show. Well, if you oppose
these wars that they have going on,

841
01:10:35.720 --> 01:10:42.760
expect to pay the price. And
Thomas Massey is now being targeted by APAK

842
01:10:42.840 --> 01:10:47.800
American Israeli Political Action Committee. They
spent three hundred thousand dollars now in the

843
01:10:47.960 --> 01:10:53.600
last week or so before the primaries. He's got two opponents. And remember,

844
01:10:54.119 --> 01:10:58.439
going back to twenty twenty, Trump
targeted him, he said, let's

845
01:10:58.439 --> 01:11:00.840
primary him out. He didn't succeed
in doing that at that point in time.

846
01:11:00.880 --> 01:11:05.520
We'll see what happens this time.
And the reason that Trump was angry

847
01:11:05.880 --> 01:11:12.359
what Thomas Massey was because Thomas Massey
said, we can't afford three and a

848
01:11:12.399 --> 01:11:15.479
half trillion dollars for this lockdown stuff. This is insane. And you guys

849
01:11:15.479 --> 01:11:19.840
want to pretend that there's a virus
here, come back and vote. We're

850
01:11:19.840 --> 01:11:23.359
not going to do this by acclamation. Whatever you're going to have to come

851
01:11:23.399 --> 01:11:29.239
back and register, and everybody was
furious with him. He really got everybody

852
01:11:29.319 --> 01:11:32.920
there angry with him, but especially
Trump because this was Trump's baby. The

853
01:11:33.000 --> 01:11:39.399
lockdown was Trump's baby. And it's
kind of interesting now because Trump is Trump

854
01:11:39.479 --> 01:11:44.119
has come out and attacked during the
primaries. He attacked Dysantis for opening up,

855
01:11:44.319 --> 01:11:47.720
opening up, when at the time
he I'm sorry for closing down.

856
01:11:48.199 --> 01:11:54.439
At the time, he attacked DeSantis
because he opened up. He and Kemp

857
01:11:54.560 --> 01:11:58.960
and Georgia opened up about two weeks
into this, two weeks to flatten the

858
01:11:59.000 --> 01:12:03.159
curve. They said, that's it
opening up. And then when uh and

859
01:12:03.319 --> 01:12:06.520
and Trump is furious, You're gonna
kill people, all the rest of this

860
01:12:06.560 --> 01:12:12.439
stuff. Then when Trump is running
against DeSantis, he tries to pretend that

861
01:12:12.520 --> 01:12:17.880
DeSantis was the lockdown master. It
was Trump, pure projection, pure lies.

862
01:12:17.920 --> 01:12:21.239
And Trump knows it. And then
just this last week we saw that

863
01:12:21.319 --> 01:12:25.800
with r F K Junior. Yeah, he said, h r f K

864
01:12:25.960 --> 01:12:34.560
Junior. H r f K Junior
is you know he's he's pushing the vaccines

865
01:12:34.680 --> 01:12:38.520
or something, you know he wants
to And it was just the opposite.

866
01:12:38.560 --> 01:12:43.399
Trump even used r f K Junior
to bid up his price to the big

867
01:12:43.399 --> 01:12:46.560
pharmaceutical companies and get millions of dollars
during the transition period. And then Trump

868
01:12:46.600 --> 01:12:56.479
responded by putting in the Pfizer of
the Eli the I can't remember Eli,

869
01:12:57.279 --> 01:13:02.359
what is the help me, Travis, the pharmaceutical guy. I want to

870
01:13:02.359 --> 01:13:05.920
say, Eli Whitney. It's not
Eli Whitney. That was Eli Lilly.

871
01:13:06.079 --> 01:13:09.960
Thank you. I got Eli Whitney, which was an automobile catalog that I

872
01:13:10.039 --> 01:13:13.359
used to buy stuff from when I
was in high school. I couldn't get

873
01:13:13.399 --> 01:13:15.880
Eli Whitney out of my mind.
Anyway, it happens to us all,

874
01:13:15.920 --> 01:13:19.960
doesn't it. So Eli Lilly CEO
came in and he made him head of

875
01:13:19.960 --> 01:13:23.119
the FDA, and he stayed there
for the full four years. And he

876
01:13:23.159 --> 01:13:27.520
was the one who kicked off the
emergency executive orders declaring that it was a

877
01:13:27.520 --> 01:13:30.039
health emergency. Then Trump in the
middle of March, March the thirteenth,

878
01:13:30.079 --> 01:13:33.840
Friday the thirteenth, he kicks off
the money for the emergency thing. Anyway,

879
01:13:34.039 --> 01:13:39.319
Trump used r F K Junior to
bit up his price with these pharmaceutical

880
01:13:39.439 --> 01:13:44.840
companies, and now he's accusing r
F K Junior being a big vaccine proponent.

881
01:13:45.119 --> 01:13:47.680
No he's not anti vaccine anything.
Of course, you know, Trump

882
01:13:47.760 --> 01:13:53.920
is the father of the vaccine.
He's called himself that, and so now

883
01:13:54.039 --> 01:14:01.039
he is Trump is attacking Biden,
warning that Biden is going to do all

884
01:14:01.079 --> 01:14:05.479
the things that Trump actually did in
twenty twenty, you know, the lockdowns,

885
01:14:05.520 --> 01:14:09.000
the mass the social distancing, and
all the rest of this stuff.

886
01:14:09.279 --> 01:14:15.119
It's just amazing the projection that's there. But anyway, he says, listen,

887
01:14:15.279 --> 01:14:19.399
Thomas Massey put this sid I said, listen to this three hundred thousand

888
01:14:19.439 --> 01:14:30.960
dollars hit piece play on me by
foreign interest lobbyist group APAC. And he

889
01:14:30.039 --> 01:14:35.199
says at twelve seconds, and they
say fifteen times in April, Massey was

890
01:14:35.239 --> 01:14:40.840
the only Republican voting. And so
then he says to Speaker Johnson, he

891
01:14:40.880 --> 01:14:45.359
said, Speaker Johnson, why did
the US House Representatives vote fifteen times in

892
01:14:45.399 --> 01:14:51.640
April on Israel's issues but not a
single time on our own issues, our

893
01:14:51.720 --> 01:14:59.479
own border, or any of that
stuff. Johnson has been completely captured by

894
01:14:59.479 --> 01:15:03.680
the military industrial complex, by the
CIA. He's pushing wars, he's pushing

895
01:15:03.680 --> 01:15:11.079
domestic surveillance. He won't give a
penny to the American border. Here's the

896
01:15:11.279 --> 01:15:15.359
attack at and listen to how many
times they stress Holy Land, Holy On

897
01:15:15.399 --> 01:15:19.520
They mentioned it three times. Oh, well, you know, Thomas Massey

898
01:15:19.600 --> 01:15:24.720
has allied himself against God. Apparently, according to the American Israeli Political Action

899
01:15:24.800 --> 01:15:30.079
Committee, Israel, the Holy Land
under attack by Iran. Thomas Hesbala and

900
01:15:30.159 --> 01:15:34.680
Congressman Tom Massy associated with US.
But one Republican is standing in the way.

901
01:15:34.840 --> 01:15:40.199
It's Kentucky's Tom Massey. Fifteen times
in April, Massey was the only

902
01:15:40.239 --> 01:15:45.920
Republican voting with anti Israel radicals.
Massy's votes helpful for Iran, harmful to

903
01:15:45.039 --> 01:15:49.359
Israel. Everyone who cares about the
Holy Land needs to know Tom Massy is

904
01:15:49.399 --> 01:15:55.159
hostile to Israel. United Democracy Project
is responsible for the content of this advertising.

905
01:15:56.279 --> 01:16:01.640
So best endorsement of Tom Massey I've
ever seen. Quite frankly, he

906
01:16:01.760 --> 01:16:08.079
says, in retribution for his many
recent votes against Bill's in advanced Israel's agenda

907
01:16:08.159 --> 01:16:12.920
in Washington, he says, House
Speaker Mike Johnson recently threatened to stick the

908
01:16:13.600 --> 01:16:18.760
Israeli lobby on Republicans who didn't tow
the presidential line. The vaguely named United

909
01:16:18.920 --> 01:16:26.319
Democracy Project, an independent campaign spending
arm of the mighty American Israel Public Affairs

910
01:16:26.319 --> 01:16:29.600
Committee. They don't have the guts
to put their own name on it.

911
01:16:29.640 --> 01:16:33.319
They create a shell corporation out here, shell Committee, Shell prot Project.

912
01:16:33.399 --> 01:16:38.800
Try, you know, if it
would be too obvious. I guess they

913
01:16:38.840 --> 01:16:42.680
think if they said, this is
brought to you by APAK, but it's

914
01:16:42.680 --> 01:16:46.039
brought to you by something that they
created. They announced they're pouring three hundred

915
01:16:46.039 --> 01:16:51.520
thousand dollars in advertisements onto Fox TV
affiliates in Massy's home state of Kentucky.

916
01:16:53.000 --> 01:16:57.520
So we're trying to shine a light
on the radical anti Israel record. Oh

917
01:16:57.600 --> 01:17:00.640
no, it's anti Holy Land.
He's anti God, right of Thomas Massey,

918
01:17:00.680 --> 01:17:06.920
said a spokesperson. With its statewide
attack, APAK likely intends to influence

919
01:17:06.960 --> 01:17:12.399
the twenty twenty sixth election as well. Massey is considered to be one of

920
01:17:12.439 --> 01:17:16.680
three favorites for the twenty twenty six
Republican nomination to replace Mitch McConnell. Would

921
01:17:16.720 --> 01:17:21.720
that be something you get rid of
Mitch McConnell with somebody who actually cares about

922
01:17:21.720 --> 01:17:27.760
America instead of selling us out.
What a sellout that guy has been.

923
01:17:27.760 --> 01:17:31.760
Mitch McConnell can't have somebody like Thomas
Massey. Why because Israel doesn't like him.

924
01:17:32.239 --> 01:17:36.920
They want somebody in there that'll sell
out to them. It's amazing.

925
01:17:38.760 --> 01:17:42.600
Israel, the Holy Land under attack
by Iron Hamas, Hesbela and Thomas Massey.

926
01:17:42.840 --> 01:17:45.239
Do you know that. Yeah,
he's on the side of Iran,

927
01:17:45.279 --> 01:17:48.479
Hamas and Hesbela, they say,
now he's on the side of America,

928
01:17:50.600 --> 01:17:57.079
these other people. Just amazing.
Everyone who cares about the Holy Land needs

929
01:17:57.079 --> 01:18:00.439
to know that Thomas Massey is hostile
to Israel. They ad said, yeah,

930
01:18:00.800 --> 01:18:03.479
well, let me just say this
about the theology that's there. If

931
01:18:03.520 --> 01:18:13.199
your theology is conflicting your eschatology,
your end times theology, if that eschatology

932
01:18:13.960 --> 01:18:19.880
is in conflict with basic fundamental moral
principles that you see throughout the Old and

933
01:18:19.920 --> 01:18:28.199
New Testament, throughout the Hebrew and
Christian writings. If you have a vision

934
01:18:28.479 --> 01:18:33.520
of politics and geopolitics and the end
of the world that conflicts with clear basic

935
01:18:33.880 --> 01:18:40.920
moral principles, then maybe you need
to rethink what you're doing with your eschatology,

936
01:18:41.840 --> 01:18:45.399
how you're applying it, or if
it's even right in the first place.

937
01:18:45.920 --> 01:18:50.680
But your application of that eschatology,
even if it is right, is

938
01:18:50.720 --> 01:18:58.680
at odds with the basic fundamental principles
of the Bible. God does not need

939
01:18:58.920 --> 01:19:04.399
us to murder people for him.
That's what the Muslims say. Come on,

940
01:19:05.800 --> 01:19:10.600
I'll never support that. Never,
and you shouldn't either. If you're

941
01:19:10.600 --> 01:19:14.119
a Christian, you ought to reject
that. Wrap yourself in the Holy Land.

942
01:19:14.119 --> 01:19:15.600
Why don't you read the Bible?
This is like Ben Shapiro, who

943
01:19:15.680 --> 01:19:18.039
goes on with Joe Rogan says,
well, I don't believe that, you

944
01:19:18.079 --> 01:19:21.079
know. Rogan says, well,
you believe the Moses part of Rates.

945
01:19:21.079 --> 01:19:24.039
Now I don't believe that. Now. I don't believe the miracles in the

946
01:19:24.039 --> 01:19:27.680
Bible. I just want the land, right. The only thing that's holy

947
01:19:27.720 --> 01:19:30.640
to them is the land. God's
words not holy. God's not holy to

948
01:19:30.680 --> 01:19:34.760
them. They don't honor God.
They don't believe the word of God except

949
01:19:34.840 --> 01:19:40.760
when it gives them something. Then
they're all about that, aren't they.

950
01:19:41.720 --> 01:19:45.039
I have no patience for this.
I will have no part in this.

951
01:19:48.960 --> 01:19:55.039
Zero Head says. Rather than having
quote attacked the Holy Land, what Massy

952
01:19:55.039 --> 01:19:58.680
did was he simply trying to defend
the US treasury from being plundered for the

953
01:19:58.680 --> 01:20:04.640
benefit of a foreign country that is
among the world's richest countries. Why pay

954
01:20:04.640 --> 01:20:08.760
for your defense when you can get
the suckers in Washington to do it.

955
01:20:08.880 --> 01:20:12.359
You got a channel, you know, a few thousand dollars to them and

956
01:20:12.439 --> 01:20:15.920
get millions, or you funnel a
few thousand dollars to them and you get

957
01:20:15.039 --> 01:20:25.199
billions. Right, Well, it's
just the bill, another fourteen point three

958
01:20:25.199 --> 01:20:29.279
billion dollars to Israel. Massy knowing
that he would face the wrath. Yeah,

959
01:20:29.319 --> 01:20:30.960
he knew that Trump was going to
push back against hen knew that he

960
01:20:31.039 --> 01:20:34.000
was going to offend all the other
people in Congress when he called that vote

961
01:20:34.039 --> 01:20:38.800
in twenty twenty. He knew that
he was going to be attacked by a

962
01:20:38.960 --> 01:20:44.119
pack when he did this. Massy, knowing that he would face their wrath

963
01:20:44.159 --> 01:20:47.600
and perhaps the dollars of the Israeli
lobby, tweeted that he would vote no

964
01:20:48.319 --> 01:20:53.399
on this fourteen point three billion dollars. He said, Israel has a lower

965
01:20:53.520 --> 01:21:00.000
debt to GDP ratio than the United
States. This spending package has no offset.

966
01:21:00.079 --> 01:21:02.479
In other words, not saving any
money anywhere else. They're not saying,

967
01:21:02.479 --> 01:21:09.079
well, we're gonna we're gonna cut
Remember at the very beginning you had

968
01:21:09.520 --> 01:21:15.640
Trader Johnson said we're going to cut
fourteen billion dollars from this IRS army that

969
01:21:15.680 --> 01:21:18.960
Biden wants to build. But then
as time goes by, he says,

970
01:21:19.000 --> 01:21:23.039
now, we'll build the IRS army
and we'll give the fourteen billion dollars to

971
01:21:23.079 --> 01:21:26.800
Israel as well. He's a trader
to us. He wants to stick the

972
01:21:26.840 --> 01:21:31.079
IRS on us, just like Biden
without any reduction. He's worse than Kevin

973
01:21:31.119 --> 01:21:35.159
McCarthy. Kevin McCarthy at least had
a little bit of reduction. Not so

974
01:21:36.039 --> 01:21:44.800
with Johnson. Fully fund Biden's war
against Americans using an IRS that is seven

975
01:21:44.960 --> 01:21:49.640
times bigger than it is today,
and so he has absolutely no offsets.

976
01:21:49.920 --> 01:21:53.840
So that's what Thomas Massey said,
there's no offsets on this, so it's

977
01:21:53.840 --> 01:21:58.079
going to increase our debt by the
full fourteen point three billion plus interest.

978
01:21:59.319 --> 01:22:03.439
He also tried to defend the First
Amendment, one of only nineteen Republicans to

979
01:22:03.479 --> 01:22:11.960
do so. And again, if
you are going to do something like this

980
01:22:12.039 --> 01:22:17.640
Anti Semitism Awareness Act, if you
have to censor people who disagree with you,

981
01:22:18.560 --> 01:22:24.840
perhaps you don't have confidence in the
truth of what you're saying. Perhaps

982
01:22:25.159 --> 01:22:30.039
you are censoring and canceling things because
you have crimes to hide that you don't

983
01:22:30.079 --> 01:22:33.880
want to come to light. That
is always the case with these people who

984
01:22:33.880 --> 01:22:40.479
call for censorship. They want to
hide in the darkness. They don't want

985
01:22:40.560 --> 01:22:45.000
their works to be shown to other
people, shown in the light. Still

986
01:22:45.119 --> 01:22:47.880
pending in the Senate, it characterizes
various statements about Israel as being anti submittic,

987
01:22:48.479 --> 01:22:53.399
subjecting colleges in the universities the Civil
Rights Enforcement action if somebody says the

988
01:22:53.399 --> 01:22:56.239
wrong thing and taking money away from
them. Look, I'm one hundred percent

989
01:22:56.319 --> 01:23:00.279
for taking all the money away from
all of the colleges and universities. There

990
01:23:00.319 --> 01:23:04.720
is no authority in the Constitution for
a single penny to be given to any

991
01:23:04.800 --> 01:23:11.439
public or private schools, no authority
for that whatsoever. But that's not how

992
01:23:11.439 --> 01:23:15.479
it's going to be used. It's
going to be used to bribing blackmail people

993
01:23:15.199 --> 01:23:19.880
to be on their side. Policing
speech, religion, and assembly, said

994
01:23:19.880 --> 01:23:24.199
Thomas Massey, is not the role
of the federal government. In fact,

995
01:23:24.199 --> 01:23:28.199
it is expressly prohibited by the US
Constitution. And that's exactly what this built

996
01:23:28.279 --> 01:23:33.479
by this Traitoress Mike Johnson. Does. It polices religion, It polices assembly,

997
01:23:33.640 --> 01:23:40.039
It polices religion because it says what
we can or cannot say about what

998
01:23:40.279 --> 01:23:46.479
happened to Jesus? How dare you? I will say whatever I wish,

999
01:23:46.520 --> 01:23:53.520
and you will never stop me from
talking about that. Absolutely amazing to be

1000
01:23:53.560 --> 01:23:59.800
that presumptive, Absolutely amazing for Mike
Johnson to this wolf among the sheeps to

1001
01:23:59.800 --> 01:24:01.880
put on the sheepskin. Oh,
I'm a Christian. I'm a Christian,

1002
01:24:01.920 --> 01:24:06.520
and you put that on people,
and you let this be defined as anti

1003
01:24:06.520 --> 01:24:15.640
semitism, defined by a non governmental
organization that's not even an American organization.

1004
01:24:16.600 --> 01:24:24.159
I was talking about the eminent domain
being done by a Canadian oil corporation.

1005
01:24:24.239 --> 01:24:27.600
Look, I think we needed that
oil pipeline. I think we need to

1006
01:24:27.640 --> 01:24:35.199
shut down racism and anti semitism.
But you don't allow foreigners to take our

1007
01:24:35.239 --> 01:24:39.880
property, and you don't allow a
foreign government to take our bill of rights.

1008
01:24:39.960 --> 01:24:43.319
And if you do, you're a
trader to this country. Johnson and

1009
01:24:43.359 --> 01:24:46.039
the rest of these GOP people who
vote for we had a congressman, all

1010
01:24:46.079 --> 01:24:51.520
of our congressmen in Tennessee voted for
that Anti Semitism Awareness Act. They are

1011
01:24:51.560 --> 01:24:57.399
trembling in their boots. They don't
want to be called antisemitic. They don't

1012
01:24:57.399 --> 01:25:00.479
want to have hundreds of thousands of
dollars in ads run against them like they're

1013
01:25:00.520 --> 01:25:02.840
doing. Thomas Massey, he's the
only one who had the guts to stand

1014
01:25:02.880 --> 01:25:08.800
up to this stuff. Well,
nineteen others, but none of them from

1015
01:25:08.880 --> 01:25:13.600
Tennessee. I will not be voting
to support any of these people in the

1016
01:25:13.640 --> 01:25:15.560
general election. I'm not going to
vote for a Democrat. But I'm not

1017
01:25:15.640 --> 01:25:18.800
voting for any of these Republicans either, just like Biden Trump. If there's

1018
01:25:18.840 --> 01:25:21.760
some third party candidate, I'll vote
for them. I'm not voting for any

1019
01:25:21.880 --> 01:25:29.279
Republicans running for Congress out of Tennessee
because they voted for this garbage. Kentucky's

1020
01:25:29.279 --> 01:25:34.680
Republican primary be held May twenty first, they were really close, were only

1021
01:25:34.720 --> 01:25:42.760
six days away next Tuesday, so
they're dumping these ads here. Massey is

1022
01:25:42.800 --> 01:25:46.760
being opposed by two GOP challengers.
He said the Pro Israel Super Pac was

1023
01:25:46.800 --> 01:25:50.680
targeting him. Quote because I'm often
the loan Republican for freedom of speech,

1024
01:25:51.279 --> 01:25:56.840
against foreign aid and opposed to war
in the Middle East. A pack is

1025
01:25:56.880 --> 01:26:00.880
against our freedom of speech, APAK
wants the aid, and APAC wants war.

1026
01:26:02.920 --> 01:26:09.279
That's the opposite of this stuff,
right, that's what they're spending the

1027
01:26:09.279 --> 01:26:13.279
money for. Because they want censorship, because they want war. They want

1028
01:26:13.319 --> 01:26:15.560
censorship because they want our money,
and they don't want anybody talking about that.

1029
01:26:17.000 --> 01:26:23.159
He added this as urgently requested,
questing like minded Americans to help him

1030
01:26:23.279 --> 01:26:27.439
to thwart the attack by donating to
his campaign. He told the Courier Journal

1031
01:26:27.479 --> 01:26:30.359
in Kentucky. There's a reason to
think that Johnson may have encouraged the APAC

1032
01:26:30.520 --> 01:26:35.479
to give him primary challengers, he
said this week in our GOP conference meeting,

1033
01:26:35.840 --> 01:26:45.119
as members groused about blowback from the
latest anti Semitism resolution anti anti Semitism

1034
01:26:45.479 --> 01:26:50.199
resolution, he said, Johnson pledged
to call his contacts at Jewish Israel groups

1035
01:26:50.840 --> 01:26:58.880
if dissident GOP represented his mustard opposition. Great guy, isn't he. You

1036
01:26:58.920 --> 01:27:01.800
wonder why he's so allied with the
CI. He uses those kinds of tactics,

1037
01:27:02.359 --> 01:27:06.079
pushing in the DEFISA thing, extending
it, extending it, and time

1038
01:27:06.199 --> 01:27:12.039
extending it in extent. This and
the timing of the AD announcement, he

1039
01:27:12.079 --> 01:27:15.359
says, raises questions about whether the
ads were suggested by or sanctioned by Speaker

1040
01:27:15.439 --> 01:27:20.720
Johnson. In addition to now being
creatively accused of attacking the Holy Land.

1041
01:27:21.680 --> 01:27:29.279
Massey has endured baseless accusations of anti
Semitism, including this jim from the editor

1042
01:27:29.439 --> 01:27:35.039
of commentary magazine John pod Horetz,
who said, who called Massey a disingenuous

1043
01:27:35.079 --> 01:27:44.039
piece of anti Semitic filth? Well
projection, because John potterrets is a racist

1044
01:27:44.119 --> 01:27:48.359
piece of Semitic filth, That's what
you are, pod horets. Massey has

1045
01:27:48.399 --> 01:27:54.359
previously suggested that APAX role in US
politics amounts to foreign influence in our election.

1046
01:27:54.520 --> 01:27:59.640
Absolutely, critics call the sentiment an
anti Semitic trope. If you don't

1047
01:27:59.640 --> 01:28:02.720
give your money to Israel, you're
antisemitic, he said, undeterred. Massy

1048
01:28:02.840 --> 01:28:08.920
last week posted a poll asking if
a pack should be forced to register as

1049
01:28:08.960 --> 01:28:12.960
an agent of Israel under the Foreign
Agents Registration Act. Pharah, Yeah,

1050
01:28:13.039 --> 01:28:15.359
absolutely, if you're love being for
a foreign government, you're supposed to register.

1051
01:28:15.399 --> 01:28:17.279
Now. Of course, you know
that was one of the charges that

1052
01:28:17.279 --> 01:28:20.319
they brought against Hunter Biden and the
Biden family. But of course you know

1053
01:28:20.359 --> 01:28:26.359
there's they're privileged characters. They don't
have to follow the law, and neither

1054
01:28:26.560 --> 01:28:33.800
does a pack. So he asked
people should a pack register with Pharah No,

1055
01:28:34.279 --> 01:28:40.600
the only place that APAC has to
register is with the gift registry for

1056
01:28:40.720 --> 01:28:45.439
the sellout prostitute GOP congressmen and the
Democrats as well. They've got a gift

1057
01:28:45.479 --> 01:28:48.920
registry. Maybe you can send them
some gold bars or something like that.

1058
01:28:49.000 --> 01:28:58.119
Right, that's what these people are
about, So it truly is amazing.

1059
01:28:59.159 --> 01:29:02.159
We'll talk about up here in a
second on Rock Fan Tornador. Thank you

1060
01:29:02.199 --> 01:29:05.319
for the tip. I like to
make memes as a hobby, and I've

1061
01:29:05.359 --> 01:29:10.439
got one that I think perfectly summarizes
the first Sandy Hook Alex Jones trial.

1062
01:29:10.640 --> 01:29:13.560
Would you mind if I send you
some memes? And what would be the

1063
01:29:13.560 --> 01:29:17.000
best way to send them to you? David Knight's show at Proton Mail by

1064
01:29:17.039 --> 01:29:19.079
the best way. We'll be on
to look out for it. Thank you.

1065
01:29:19.159 --> 01:29:25.479
Appreciate that Trump is telling you a
massive crowd now that on day one

1066
01:29:25.640 --> 01:29:28.840
he's going to have the busiest day
ever for any present and he's going to

1067
01:29:28.880 --> 01:29:30.479
do it by executive order, because
you know, we all want to have

1068
01:29:30.800 --> 01:29:34.119
rule by executive orders, don't we. It worked out so well for us

1069
01:29:34.159 --> 01:29:39.279
in his first term. Every one
of these presidents and every successive one Democrat,

1070
01:29:39.319 --> 01:29:44.680
Republican Democrat, Republican, Democrat,
re public. They all have executive

1071
01:29:44.760 --> 01:29:47.560
orders, and they all have more
executive orders than their predecessor. And so

1072
01:29:47.840 --> 01:29:51.920
he is saying that by executive order
on day one, I'm going to save

1073
01:29:51.960 --> 01:29:56.960
the whales. I'm going to get
rid of offshore wind mills. Okay,

1074
01:29:57.720 --> 01:29:59.720
Well, there's so many different things
that he could do, isn't it.

1075
01:30:00.720 --> 01:30:02.199
Why don't you, on day one
say that you're going to get rid of

1076
01:30:02.279 --> 01:30:09.000
the Paris Climate Accord, which was
put in by your predecessor Obama, And

1077
01:30:09.039 --> 01:30:12.199
you didn't get rid of it,
and you didn't call for it to come

1078
01:30:12.279 --> 01:30:15.159
up for a vote in the Senate
because it is a treaty and it needs

1079
01:30:15.159 --> 01:30:18.960
to be ratified by the Senate.
Maybe you could do that, except that

1080
01:30:19.000 --> 01:30:25.159
you're a demagoguing, liar politician.
You're not going to do anything about the

1081
01:30:25.159 --> 01:30:27.680
fundamental issues here. You're not going
to do anything about the Paris Climate of

1082
01:30:27.760 --> 01:30:30.239
Court. You're gonna tell people going
to save the whales. This is a

1083
01:30:30.239 --> 01:30:33.319
guy who doesn't want to save the
babies anymore, right, save the baby

1084
01:30:33.359 --> 01:30:35.680
whales. I know he's going to
save the whales, but he doesn't want

1085
01:30:35.680 --> 01:30:41.439
to save the babies because that's too
politically expensive for him anymore. And then,

1086
01:30:41.479 --> 01:30:46.199
as I said before, he's out
there projecting about how Biden is supposedly

1087
01:30:46.239 --> 01:30:49.560
the lockdown king when he was the
one who did all this stuff. Nobody

1088
01:30:49.560 --> 01:30:55.800
had ever done anything like that before, all of the lockdowns, and you're

1089
01:30:55.880 --> 01:31:00.439
not a central stuff and anything that
was all a Trump precedent. The left

1090
01:31:00.479 --> 01:31:04.560
wing lunatics are trying very hard to
bring back COVID lockdowns and mandates with all

1091
01:31:04.640 --> 01:31:10.560
like you did. You're mongering about
the new variants that are coming. Gee

1092
01:31:10.600 --> 01:31:13.720
whiz, you know what else is
coming? An election? They want to

1093
01:31:13.720 --> 01:31:18.039
restart the COVID hysteria so they can
justify more lockdowns, more censorship, more

1094
01:31:18.159 --> 01:31:21.760
illegal dropboxes, more men. What
you did? You did that the first

1095
01:31:21.760 --> 01:31:27.800
time, dollars and payoffs to their
political allies heading into the twenty twenty four

1096
01:31:27.840 --> 01:31:30.600
election. Does that sound familiar,
Yeah, it sounds like what you did.

1097
01:31:30.720 --> 01:31:33.520
These are sick people we're dealing with. But to every COVID tyrant who

1098
01:31:33.520 --> 01:31:39.760
wants to take away our freedom,
hear these words. We will not comply

1099
01:31:40.920 --> 01:31:44.439
with a constitution about it. We
will not shut down our schools, We

1100
01:31:44.479 --> 01:31:46.199
will not You did all of that
lockdowns. You did all of that.

1101
01:31:46.279 --> 01:31:51.760
God abide but your mask mandates,
and we will not tolerate your vaccine mandates.

1102
01:31:53.319 --> 01:31:57.560
Unbelievable twenty twenty election. And now
they're trying to do the same thing

1103
01:31:57.640 --> 01:32:02.079
all over again by rigging the most
important election in the history of our country,

1104
01:32:02.119 --> 01:32:06.359
the twenty twenty four election, even
if it means trying to bring back

1105
01:32:06.399 --> 01:32:12.439
COVID. But they will fail because
we will not let it happen. When

1106
01:32:12.479 --> 01:32:15.000
I'm back in the White House,
I will use every available authority to cut

1107
01:32:15.039 --> 01:32:19.520
federal funding to any school, college, airline, or public transportations. He

1108
01:32:19.600 --> 01:32:24.039
knows how he did it. That
imposes a mass It was with funding he

1109
01:32:24.119 --> 01:32:27.119
paid for them to do it.
Thank you very much. Say this is

1110
01:32:27.119 --> 01:32:30.920
what the MAGA people can't get through
their thick skulls. He paid the airlines

1111
01:32:30.920 --> 01:32:33.840
and the schools and everybody to live
the lockdowns that he told them to do.

1112
01:32:35.079 --> 01:32:41.000
He is such a sick, disgusting
liar. Just unbelievable. And then

1113
01:32:41.039 --> 01:32:45.880
show this picture Trovis Trump's big gun
entourage torches the merits of the sham business

1114
01:32:45.880 --> 01:32:49.359
records trial outside the courthouse. Now
it is a sham trot, but look

1115
01:32:49.399 --> 01:32:55.279
at these guys, this is the
red tie brigade. They're all dressed exactly

1116
01:32:55.319 --> 01:33:00.640
alike. They've all got a gray
suit and a red tie red ties.

1117
01:33:00.279 --> 01:33:04.319
I try not to wear one every
single day, but here we are.

1118
01:33:04.359 --> 01:33:09.640
You've got Ramaswami and you got Doug
Bergham and everything. The red tie rigading

1119
01:33:09.720 --> 01:33:13.079
because it is a beauty contest.
You know, it's kind of like,

1120
01:33:13.439 --> 01:33:15.000
you know, if there were women, that'd be there in a swimsuit,

1121
01:33:15.039 --> 01:33:18.439
I guess, but since they're men, they're all wearing their red Trump tie

1122
01:33:18.760 --> 01:33:23.439
and they're all defending Trump at this
courthouse as if he needs any defense.

1123
01:33:23.479 --> 01:33:27.920
Look, it's a rigged process.
They'll probably find him guilty and he'll probably

1124
01:33:29.239 --> 01:33:33.399
overturn it on appeal at some level
because it is a rigged process and the

1125
01:33:33.479 --> 01:33:36.600
rig process, they're probably going to
get a conviction and then they will over

1126
01:33:36.960 --> 01:33:41.960
overturn it. But it's really just
about creating a big reality TV show,

1127
01:33:42.960 --> 01:33:46.479
this salacious you know Trump and his
women show. You know, it's like

1128
01:33:47.119 --> 01:33:51.000
which they always do. Uh.
So they're all in a beauty contest to

1129
01:33:51.000 --> 01:33:58.520
see who's going to be awarded mister
Trump viep you know, and runner up

1130
01:33:58.640 --> 01:34:02.479
Trump viep. They're all there and
you know, shilling for him, and

1131
01:34:02.520 --> 01:34:09.520
of course so Johnson was there yesterday
as well. But when we look at

1132
01:34:09.880 --> 01:34:14.000
Doug Burnham, as I mentioned earlier, he is a special case, and

1133
01:34:14.119 --> 01:34:16.560
many people believe that he is going
to be the pick. He's going to

1134
01:34:16.600 --> 01:34:20.319
be the pick, not because Trump
is going to try to do something too

1135
01:34:21.319 --> 01:34:25.880
in a dei sort of way.
You know, get Tim Scott because he's

1136
01:34:25.880 --> 01:34:29.000
black, or Christine Noman because she's
female, or somebody else now that she

1137
01:34:29.039 --> 01:34:33.760
shot her dog and bragged about it. But what Doug Burgham brings to the

1138
01:34:33.800 --> 01:34:39.880
contest is very simple. Lots and
lots of money. He's a billionaire himself,

1139
01:34:40.680 --> 01:34:43.399
and of course Christine Oman, Doug
Burnham, as I said earlier in

1140
01:34:43.399 --> 01:34:50.199
the show, and Trump and the
CEO of this pipeline scam to extract CO

1141
01:34:50.439 --> 01:34:55.079
two out of the air and to
pump it across the country at great expense

1142
01:34:55.199 --> 01:35:01.720
and into the ground and the Dakotas
at great expense. What an unbelievable boondoggle

1143
01:35:01.880 --> 01:35:05.119
this is. And yet they're all
tied up in it. And so for

1144
01:35:05.159 --> 01:35:09.920
all those reasons, and for all
of Doug Bergham's big cash and everything that's

1145
01:35:09.960 --> 01:35:14.239
what everybody believes is going to happen. And again, I'll put up that

1146
01:35:14.279 --> 01:35:18.840
report on Rumble since you can't see
it for some reason, and we'll see

1147
01:35:18.840 --> 01:35:26.279
what happens when we repost it.
But Daniel McCarthy is not the only one.

1148
01:35:26.319 --> 01:35:28.960
I'm not the only one. Harry
Hound thinks it's going to be Doug

1149
01:35:29.000 --> 01:35:33.439
Burgham. I think it will be
as well. Uh. And Daniel McCarthy,

1150
01:35:33.960 --> 01:35:39.800
writing at WND, says Donald Trump
really knows how to run a talent

1151
01:35:39.840 --> 01:35:43.119
show. He really knows how to
run a reality show. He's had Beauty

1152
01:35:43.119 --> 01:35:45.520
Contest. This is beauty contest.
He's had The Apprentice. This is like

1153
01:35:45.560 --> 01:35:49.600
the Apprentice. You know. It's
these vice presidential candidates, he said.

1154
01:35:49.880 --> 01:35:54.439
And it's kind of interesting because you
know, and he's very sympathetic to Trump.

1155
01:35:54.439 --> 01:35:58.199
He likes Trump, unlike me.
He says, nobody's going to watch

1156
01:35:59.279 --> 01:36:05.920
these reality TV shows if you don't
have a competition that is credible. So

1157
01:36:06.000 --> 01:36:11.000
he plays up the competition. Folks, this is what's going on with the

1158
01:36:11.119 --> 01:36:15.239
entire election between Trump and Biden.
You know, the winner has already been

1159
01:36:15.319 --> 01:36:18.560
chosen by the powers that be.
They want you to watch this. They

1160
01:36:18.600 --> 01:36:21.079
want you to focus on this because
they don't want you to focus on your

1161
01:36:21.079 --> 01:36:24.520
own life. They don't want you
to focus on your own community, your

1162
01:36:24.560 --> 01:36:27.960
own state where you could actually change
things. No, you need to be

1163
01:36:28.039 --> 01:36:31.800
caught up in the presidential reality show. And he's going to pick this guy,

1164
01:36:31.880 --> 01:36:39.239
just like RFK Junior picked you know, a Google billionaire by marriage to

1165
01:36:39.279 --> 01:36:43.319
be his running mate as well.
And he talks about this, he says,

1166
01:36:43.439 --> 01:36:45.199
this is kind of interesting. You
know, when you look at Doug

1167
01:36:45.239 --> 01:36:49.720
Bergham, he's in nothing. He
had so little support that he offered twenty

1168
01:36:49.800 --> 01:36:53.880
dollars gift cards if he gave him
a dollar donation. Remember I reported that.

1169
01:36:54.479 --> 01:36:56.600
He goes, that's going to be
a scam. It's not a credit

1170
01:36:56.680 --> 01:37:00.439
card scam. He did that.
What they said was you have to have

1171
01:37:00.560 --> 01:37:04.720
a certain number of unique donors in
order to be able to participate in the

1172
01:37:04.760 --> 01:37:10.359
first debate, and they had a
similar thing for the second debate, and

1173
01:37:10.680 --> 01:37:14.319
he had. It only cost him
like a million dollars is nothing to him.

1174
01:37:14.560 --> 01:37:18.920
Million dollars in presidential politics, especially
if somebody wo's already independently wealthy billionaire,

1175
01:37:19.000 --> 01:37:23.800
that's nothing at all. So he
paid a million dollars to get into

1176
01:37:23.840 --> 01:37:26.920
the debate, and you could have
a piece of that. If you sent

1177
01:37:27.000 --> 01:37:30.880
him a one dollar donation or more, he would send you back twenty dollars.

1178
01:37:32.720 --> 01:37:35.960
And that's how he got in.
And he had to do that because

1179
01:37:36.000 --> 01:37:41.520
nobody cared about him. He had
to buy his way in and he'll probably

1180
01:37:41.520 --> 01:37:45.520
buy his way in as Trump's running
mate as well for the same reason and

1181
01:37:45.560 --> 01:37:50.640
in the same way. And even
with that, after the first one or

1182
01:37:50.640 --> 01:37:55.760
two debates, he couldn't hack it, and so he had to drop out.

1183
01:37:55.920 --> 01:38:00.279
Even buying his way into debate wasn't
going to work for him. So

1184
01:38:00.600 --> 01:38:02.600
it truly is about money. As
I said, Look, you could have

1185
01:38:04.119 --> 01:38:08.920
he'd have Tim Scott to get the
Black vote, Marco Rubio to get the

1186
01:38:09.000 --> 01:38:12.279
Hispanic vote, or you know,
a woman to get more. But what

1187
01:38:12.439 --> 01:38:16.239
does Doug Bergham bring? Money?
Lots of it money. This co two

1188
01:38:16.479 --> 01:38:23.600
gas lighter project is the real issue, the financial angle. Just like rf

1189
01:38:23.680 --> 01:38:28.920
K JR R f K Junior's running
mate is an empty suit, and so

1190
01:38:29.079 --> 01:38:32.439
is Bergham quite frankly, even though
he is the governor there. Biden once

1191
01:38:32.560 --> 01:38:36.319
slammed Trump's China terrace, and now
he's building on them. That's right,

1192
01:38:38.640 --> 01:38:43.439
left, right, left, right. Yeah, he built on Trump's lockdowns.

1193
01:38:43.960 --> 01:38:49.600
He built on Trump's six foot magic
distance, Trump's masks. He built

1194
01:38:49.640 --> 01:38:54.720
on Trump's vaccine. As a matter
of fact, he built on Trump's vaccine

1195
01:38:54.720 --> 01:38:59.000
mandate. Trump had put in the
mandate for the military. It was going

1196
01:38:59.039 --> 01:39:03.359
to kick in at exactly the time
that Biden's mandate kicked in. How did

1197
01:39:03.399 --> 01:39:09.760
they know? How did they know? Yeah, we all knew, and

1198
01:39:09.800 --> 01:39:12.680
I talked about it at the time. We're gonna take a quick break and

1199
01:39:12.880 --> 01:40:53.680
we'll be right back making sense common
again. You're listening to the David Night

1200
01:40:53.760 --> 01:41:00.479
Show. All right, welcome back. Let's talk a little bit about the

1201
01:41:00.520 --> 01:41:09.119
pandemic, about the bird flu pandemic
that they just keep pushing and pushing.

1202
01:41:09.159 --> 01:41:15.079
It's like the everready bunny. Unlike
the battery operated cars, this one just

1203
01:41:15.159 --> 01:41:20.279
keeps going and going. Scientists sell
fear that cattle may become a permanent host

1204
01:41:20.720 --> 01:41:25.079
for bird flu. Well, then
maybe you need to call it cow flu.

1205
01:41:25.920 --> 01:41:28.640
They're going to become a permanent host
for it. Be very afraid.

1206
01:41:29.000 --> 01:41:30.199
We got a lot of cows,
and we've got lots of people who are

1207
01:41:30.239 --> 01:41:33.600
working around cows. They say,
and so it's just inevitable, it's going

1208
01:41:33.640 --> 01:41:35.680
to happen. Wait a minute,
Wait a minute. You don't have any

1209
01:41:35.680 --> 01:41:40.560
cows that are sick. You don't
have any cowboys who are sick either.

1210
01:41:41.600 --> 01:41:44.000
You got a guy who got pink
eye. That's not the flu. His

1211
01:41:44.079 --> 01:41:48.079
lungs were clear, he didn't have
fever, he had no flu symptoms whatsoever.

1212
01:41:49.399 --> 01:41:54.600
You can get pink eye by not
washing your hands and rubbing your eyes.

1213
01:41:55.319 --> 01:41:58.920
He's working in a dirty environment.
Could that be the Oh no,

1214
01:41:59.000 --> 01:42:03.279
we're going to use that. And
they continue to use this. So the

1215
01:42:03.359 --> 01:42:10.399
latest fear, it's coming from outlet
Earth, and they said cattle may become

1216
01:42:10.600 --> 01:42:15.640
a permanent host for bird flu.
The recent findings that pasteurized milk in the

1217
01:42:15.720 --> 01:42:18.720
United States is no longer suspected.
Why would you suspect it? And again,

1218
01:42:18.960 --> 01:42:23.199
do you notice they haven't tested eggs
at all. And this is a

1219
01:42:23.239 --> 01:42:27.680
bird flu. They've killed tens of
millions of birds in the last couple of

1220
01:42:27.760 --> 01:42:31.640
years, using this as an excuse
to raise the price of chickens, to

1221
01:42:31.720 --> 01:42:36.880
raise the price of eggs and everything. And yet even though they've killed tens

1222
01:42:36.880 --> 01:42:41.680
of millions of chickens, they didn't
say that they were sick, they would

1223
01:42:41.720 --> 01:42:45.319
come in if they used the PCR
test and got a positive result from this

1224
01:42:45.479 --> 01:42:51.439
process of magnifying whatever they pull out
there by one point one trillion times.

1225
01:42:51.479 --> 01:42:58.319
If they're using the same cycle of
magnification that they used during the COVID fake

1226
01:42:58.479 --> 01:43:01.119
pandemic. If that's that's what they're
still doing, likely they are, or

1227
01:43:01.159 --> 01:43:06.439
even more, they didn't bother to
test any chicken meat. They didn't test

1228
01:43:06.680 --> 01:43:14.079
any eggs. But it's all about
the cows. All about the cows.

1229
01:43:14.119 --> 01:43:18.680
Now, bird flu is all about
cows. They're so obviously transparent in all

1230
01:43:18.680 --> 01:43:21.800
of this because they have made it
very clear they want to shut down the

1231
01:43:21.800 --> 01:43:25.279
farms and they want to shut down
cattle and all the rest of this stuff.

1232
01:43:25.319 --> 01:43:28.039
They want to ban meat and dairy
and so that's what this is all

1233
01:43:28.079 --> 01:43:32.000
about. Can't people see this?
So they said, the persistence of the

1234
01:43:32.000 --> 01:43:38.279
bird flu virus and the US cattle
population is alarming. Experts say, who

1235
01:43:38.359 --> 01:43:44.359
fear that cattle could become a lasting
reservoir for the virus. Again, we

1236
01:43:44.399 --> 01:43:47.479
need to have this, We need
to have the cows from chick fil A

1237
01:43:48.600 --> 01:43:56.640
holding up a sign test more mor
chickens, spell it, miss spell it

1238
01:43:56.880 --> 01:44:00.479
test, the chickens leave us alone. Stop, you know, but that's

1239
01:44:00.479 --> 01:44:03.640
the chickens, and I have the
chickens standing around with some masks on their

1240
01:44:03.680 --> 01:44:09.760
faces. I guess eventually the wrong
combination of gene segments and mutations inevitably come

1241
01:44:09.800 --> 01:44:16.920
along, said the This is Earth
outlet Earth magazine. So eventually the wrong

1242
01:44:16.960 --> 01:44:23.600
combinations of gene segments and mutations inevitably
come along. Whatever opportunity we may have

1243
01:44:23.720 --> 01:44:30.920
had to nip it in the bud, It's like it's a Deputy Barney Fife

1244
01:44:31.880 --> 01:44:34.039
nip it in the bad andy.
We gotta nip it in the bud.

1245
01:44:34.079 --> 01:44:39.439
Well, we whatever chance we may
have had to nip it in the bud,

1246
01:44:40.199 --> 01:44:43.840
we lost by a really slow detection. See, we're going to go

1247
01:44:43.880 --> 01:44:49.159
even faster, says Michael Warribe,
an evolutionary biologist at the University of Arizona.

1248
01:44:49.199 --> 01:44:54.479
This guy is an evolutionary biologist.
In his entire career is built on

1249
01:44:54.520 --> 01:45:00.600
a lie of evolution. Evolution,
evolution of bacteria. Well, we're not

1250
01:45:00.640 --> 01:45:04.760
even talking about bacteria. We're talking
about a virus. But again, when

1251
01:45:05.119 --> 01:45:09.960
we talk about oh look we got
a super bug that evolved, you know

1252
01:45:10.000 --> 01:45:18.039
where that is there wasn't any additional
DNA added to this superbug. Whenever they

1253
01:45:18.039 --> 01:45:21.560
have a situation they say, well, we got bacteria that are resistant to

1254
01:45:21.800 --> 01:45:26.760
this or resistant to that. What
has happened is that they applied it.

1255
01:45:26.800 --> 01:45:29.840
And you'd just like to say,
take your full course of antibiotics, right,

1256
01:45:30.760 --> 01:45:35.199
but you've got you apply this.
And it's just like when they poisoned

1257
01:45:35.279 --> 01:45:41.079
us with the shots. Not everybody
is going to succumb to it. Because

1258
01:45:41.119 --> 01:45:45.079
of genetic variations. Some people will
be immediately killed by the trump shots.

1259
01:45:45.159 --> 01:45:48.000
Other people will die slowly, and
so the same thing is true of the

1260
01:45:48.000 --> 01:45:51.680
bacteria. Not all of them are
going to be killed. And so what

1261
01:45:51.800 --> 01:45:55.960
happens is, you know, you
got a better chance of getting all of

1262
01:45:56.000 --> 01:46:00.039
them if you let it run for
a very long time. But if you

1263
01:46:00.159 --> 01:46:04.239
just do it a little bit,
you're gonna kill the bacteria that are most

1264
01:46:04.560 --> 01:46:09.680
susceptible to it, and the other
ones who have some resistance to it or

1265
01:46:09.720 --> 01:46:13.840
a lot of resistance to it will
survive, and they'll be the ones that

1266
01:46:13.880 --> 01:46:18.479
will continue to breed. They call
that evolution. It's not evolution. They're

1267
01:46:18.520 --> 01:46:23.399
not gaining any function, they're not
turning, they're not going from molecules.

1268
01:46:23.399 --> 01:46:27.000
To man, they're not evolving into
some higher life form. Hi, he

1269
01:46:27.079 --> 01:46:30.039
tried to kill me as a bacteria, but now I'm back and now I'm

1270
01:46:30.079 --> 01:46:34.359
an insect. No, that's not
happening. That's not happening at all.

1271
01:46:34.920 --> 01:46:40.359
Evolutionary biology is a lie, folks. If it's molecules, de mand.

1272
01:46:40.520 --> 01:46:44.680
Yes, they do change, but
you know, they play these games,

1273
01:46:44.760 --> 01:46:48.359
you know, like Darwin's game about
you know, finches and stuff like that.

1274
01:46:48.479 --> 01:46:51.079
And some of the people who succeeded
him, I said, oh,

1275
01:46:51.159 --> 01:46:59.000
look, we've got these these finch
that are around the Grand Canyon, and

1276
01:46:59.199 --> 01:47:01.680
they look identical to the ones on
the south end, look identical to the

1277
01:47:01.680 --> 01:47:06.119
ones on the north end. But
because they've been separated, their mating song

1278
01:47:06.239 --> 01:47:12.399
has changed, and so they won't
the ones who combine, the ones from

1279
01:47:12.439 --> 01:47:15.119
the south and the north, they
won't mate with each other anymore. So

1280
01:47:15.159 --> 01:47:18.520
they've evolved into different species, and
they start calling them a different species.

1281
01:47:18.560 --> 01:47:24.600
No they're not. They're biologically identical. It's like cormonati and the Pfiser bio

1282
01:47:24.680 --> 01:47:30.239
intech. But legally, from an
evolutionary biologist standpoint, they're legally distinct,

1283
01:47:30.279 --> 01:47:38.000
just like Cormonati and Pfizer Biointech.
If you have a virus that is hopscotching

1284
01:47:38.079 --> 01:47:43.439
back and forth between cows, humans, and birds, then that virus is

1285
01:47:43.479 --> 01:47:48.239
going to have selective pressures to grow
efficiently in all of those species, says

1286
01:47:48.319 --> 01:47:55.039
a virologist at the University of Saskatchewan. Well, we don't have a virus

1287
01:47:55.079 --> 01:47:58.560
that is hopscotching back and forth between
cows, humans and birds, do we.

1288
01:47:59.520 --> 01:48:02.520
That's fun them in a lie.
It's not happening, and they go

1289
01:48:02.560 --> 01:48:08.840
on to try to make this the
case. The constant interaction between humans and

1290
01:48:08.920 --> 01:48:15.399
these vast numbers of animals makes cattle
and extremely concerning reservoir for bird flu.

1291
01:48:16.159 --> 01:48:21.880
Well, if there is constant interaction
between these gazillions of cows and the humans

1292
01:48:21.880 --> 01:48:28.039
who take care of them, you
might also think about the fact that since

1293
01:48:28.159 --> 01:48:34.960
no humans or cows have gotten sick
in spite of this constant interaction, then

1294
01:48:34.960 --> 01:48:41.079
maybe it's not being transmitted. If
it was transmissible, don't you think you

1295
01:48:41.119 --> 01:48:43.479
would have some people who are sick, and yet you don't. And this

1296
01:48:43.640 --> 01:48:50.279
article, though, will then bring
back this tired canard of the guy who

1297
01:48:50.279 --> 01:48:57.600
got pink eye. No fever,
no congestion, no cold, no nothing,

1298
01:48:57.640 --> 01:49:00.600
nothing in his lungs. He got
pink eye, and he was working

1299
01:49:00.600 --> 01:49:06.640
with cattle. Therefore he's got bird
flu. Therefore he's made of wood.

1300
01:49:08.079 --> 01:49:12.119
There we goes. It's like mighty
python science. It really is. When

1301
01:49:12.159 --> 01:49:16.079
you see symptomatic patience, it's just
the tip of the iceberg, said another

1302
01:49:17.399 --> 01:49:24.119
falsely labeled scientific expert. We have
awareness now from the COVID pandemic of how

1303
01:49:24.159 --> 01:49:28.960
devastating that could be. And this
is not a virus is going to disappear

1304
01:49:28.960 --> 01:49:35.520
by any means. And of course
we have Trump's fearmonger and Chief Redfield has

1305
01:49:35.560 --> 01:49:41.560
now made three separate time this is
the next pandemic. This is the big

1306
01:49:41.640 --> 01:49:45.680
thing. He's pushing it and pushing
it and pushing it. Nothing has changed.

1307
01:49:45.720 --> 01:49:50.199
There's no difference between Trump and Biden
on this issue, folks. Trump

1308
01:49:50.279 --> 01:49:56.279
is more dangerous because people who would
oppose this and have opposed it under Biden

1309
01:49:57.079 --> 01:50:00.920
will just back off and let Trump
push. That's lie, and he will

1310
01:50:00.920 --> 01:50:04.880
push the line just like he pushed
it. In twenty twenty, bird flu

1311
01:50:05.000 --> 01:50:11.680
virus is possibly found and a handful
of wastewater sites, says the CDC.

1312
01:50:11.800 --> 01:50:15.159
You know what else is found?
And when water sites fluoride, and the

1313
01:50:15.159 --> 01:50:18.319
CDC has fought tooth and nail to
keep that in there and to keep that

1314
01:50:18.399 --> 01:50:23.439
hidden from people, and to keep
the effects of fluoride hidden. Yeah,

1315
01:50:23.479 --> 01:50:29.359
fluoride is found. We've got SSRIs, We've got all kinds of disruptive chemicals

1316
01:50:30.119 --> 01:50:34.319
that are not filtered out by the
water systems and the wastewater sites. So

1317
01:50:34.439 --> 01:50:40.039
but be afraid, be very afraid. Listen to how they carefully push this

1318
01:50:40.199 --> 01:50:44.359
fear. They crap. This is
NBC. So here's their headline. Bird

1319
01:50:44.399 --> 01:50:48.760
flu virus is possibly found in a
handful of wastewater sites, says the CDC.

1320
01:50:49.640 --> 01:50:53.960
What do they mean by possibly,
Well, further down in the article,

1321
01:50:54.319 --> 01:51:00.239
it says the bird flu currently circulating
in cows is a type of influenza

1322
01:51:00.439 --> 01:51:06.319
A. So this is a category. This is a not that specific bird

1323
01:51:06.359 --> 01:51:12.279
flu. They didn't find specifically bird
flu. They said they found influenza A,

1324
01:51:13.359 --> 01:51:18.840
and bird flu is one type of
many types of influenza A. They

1325
01:51:18.840 --> 01:51:24.479
didn't come anywhere close to finding it. They magnify this stuff, as carry

1326
01:51:24.520 --> 01:51:27.920
Mullis said, you know, you
can find anything with this process or the

1327
01:51:27.920 --> 01:51:31.439
PCR, if you can find anything
in the world, magnifying it enough.

1328
01:51:32.199 --> 01:51:38.800
And now they didn't find bird flu, but they found traces of influenza A,

1329
01:51:40.319 --> 01:51:45.600
and influenza A is a broader category
of which bird flu is one specific

1330
01:51:45.640 --> 01:51:50.119
thing. But they didn't find bird
flu specifically. So influenza A has been

1331
01:51:50.119 --> 01:51:55.800
detected at a higher than average level. It's always there. And is it

1332
01:51:55.840 --> 01:52:01.720
detected at a higher than average level
of existence or a higher than average level

1333
01:52:02.000 --> 01:52:09.680
of quote unquote PCR magnification? Right? Is it a more magnification from PCR

1334
01:52:10.319 --> 01:52:13.520
or is it a greater density?
And of course it's not bird flu,

1335
01:52:13.600 --> 01:52:18.479
it's influenza A that is there.
The agency is monitoring two hundred and sixty

1336
01:52:18.520 --> 01:52:25.319
people. CDC is monitoring two hundred
and sixty people who have been exposed to

1337
01:52:25.680 --> 01:52:30.039
infected dairy howse for flu like symptoms? Now what does that tell you?

1338
01:52:30.079 --> 01:52:34.640
See? How they they the truth, the whole truth, and nothing by

1339
01:52:34.760 --> 01:52:38.880
the truth. They're spinning this.
They're telling you the truth, but they're

1340
01:52:38.880 --> 01:52:43.159
not telling you the whole truth.
If they're monitoring two hundred and sixty people

1341
01:52:43.640 --> 01:52:47.039
looking for flu like symptoms, they're
implying that two hundred and sixty people have

1342
01:52:47.079 --> 01:52:53.439
flu like symptoms, not a single
one does. They're monitoring them. They're

1343
01:52:53.479 --> 01:52:57.800
hoping that they will get flu like
symptoms, but they're not getting flu like

1344
01:52:57.840 --> 01:53:01.439
symptoms. They got two hundred sixty
people that they're watching in You better believe

1345
01:53:01.520 --> 01:53:05.159
that if one of them catches a
cold. Let's hope that they don't catch

1346
01:53:05.199 --> 01:53:10.479
a summer cold, because if one
of these two hundred and sixty people catches

1347
01:53:10.479 --> 01:53:15.399
a cold, that's it. It'll
be global headlines, a global pandemic.

1348
01:53:15.439 --> 01:53:19.000
Bird flu has finally gotten out.
Coach is going to happen. They're monitoring

1349
01:53:19.039 --> 01:53:26.119
two hundred and sixty people for flu
like symptoms, but they haven't found any.

1350
01:53:27.439 --> 01:53:33.039
And they're not even saying that they've
tested positive with this PCR process,

1351
01:53:33.239 --> 01:53:38.600
which is again an invalid test.
They say, and then they repeat this,

1352
01:53:38.760 --> 01:53:44.640
We've had a severe case of conjunctivitis
or pinki. It's a kitty disease.

1353
01:53:45.840 --> 01:53:47.800
It was not severe. I showed
you pictures. I said, here's

1354
01:53:47.840 --> 01:53:53.039
all these pictures. You know,
pinky uvi idis, which by the way,

1355
01:53:53.279 --> 01:54:00.399
is a identified adverse effect from the
Pfizer shot. And you can't tell

1356
01:54:00.399 --> 01:54:04.159
the difference between pink eye from a
gnat or from somebody wiping their dirty hands

1357
01:54:04.159 --> 01:54:08.960
on their eyes. You can't tell
the difference from conjunctivitis, which is from

1358
01:54:09.000 --> 01:54:12.239
the outside, and uv idises,
which is from the inside, with these

1359
01:54:12.279 --> 01:54:15.600
shots or some other thing like that. And I said, take a look

1360
01:54:15.600 --> 01:54:20.039
at these and can you tell which
one is which? And so I showed

1361
01:54:20.039 --> 01:54:23.439
a whole bunch of people had pink
eye, whole bunch of people had uv

1362
01:54:23.520 --> 01:54:27.000
itis. And I showed the guy
that had bird flu. Is he any

1363
01:54:27.000 --> 01:54:29.319
worse than any of these other people? No? So the other was a

1364
01:54:29.359 --> 01:54:33.439
lot worse than what he had.
So again, it's not flu. Nobody

1365
01:54:33.560 --> 01:54:35.960
is sick, not a single one. If one of them is sick,

1366
01:54:36.000 --> 01:54:42.159
it'll be a worldwide global headlines.
And it's not going to be if,

1367
01:54:42.199 --> 01:54:45.079
but it'd be when eventually, as
they're monitoring these two hundred and sixty people,

1368
01:54:45.119 --> 01:54:47.479
somebody's going to get sick with something. And even if it isn't a

1369
01:54:47.560 --> 01:54:53.800
cold, if it's something like conjunctiveis
pink eye, If they get sick with

1370
01:54:53.960 --> 01:54:57.119
anything, they're going to call it
bird flu. It doesn't even have to

1371
01:54:57.119 --> 01:55:06.840
be the flu. They're going to
call it that absolutely amazing unrumble uh travagline.

1372
01:55:06.960 --> 01:55:11.880
I thank you for the Depp says, give the animals. Ivermectin problem

1373
01:55:11.920 --> 01:55:14.479
solved. Yeah, that's right.
Hey, y'all, it's horse medicine.

1374
01:55:14.479 --> 01:55:16.960
Why don't you give the horse medicine
to the cows, because you're giving all

1375
01:55:17.039 --> 01:55:23.600
the bird flu tests to the cows, give them some of the horse medicine.

1376
01:55:23.640 --> 01:55:30.800
That FDA says ivermectin is exactly right. CDC issues an urgent warning against

1377
01:55:30.920 --> 01:55:35.239
raw milk. See, they've got
their targets. Their targets are meat dairy.

1378
01:55:35.279 --> 01:55:39.880
Their targets are local production, local
farms who might do something like raw

1379
01:55:39.920 --> 01:55:43.479
meat and all that kind of stuff. So that's what they want to pin

1380
01:55:43.600 --> 01:55:48.600
this on. Don't have any raw
milk because of bird flu. Not a

1381
01:55:48.640 --> 01:55:56.840
single person sick. But again,
always go to every story a false narrative,

1382
01:55:56.960 --> 01:56:03.000
narrative. Every story is focusing on
what they want to achieve their quote

1383
01:56:03.079 --> 01:56:08.079
unquote solution. And as I said
before, former CDC director, this is

1384
01:56:08.079 --> 01:56:14.000
the way it's always put out there
by the Trump press. They don't identify

1385
01:56:14.960 --> 01:56:19.199
that the headlines at least that he
is a Trump guy, the Trump guy

1386
01:56:19.239 --> 01:56:24.520
that scared us, that lied to
us. In twenty twenty, Robert Redfield,

1387
01:56:25.880 --> 01:56:29.279
he says for the third time that
the bird flu will be the next

1388
01:56:29.560 --> 01:56:36.680
great pandemic. And again he's talking
about its gain of function and all the

1389
01:56:36.720 --> 01:56:41.720
rest of this stuff. These people, these evolutionary biologists, don't pay them

1390
01:56:41.880 --> 01:56:46.000
any attention. They are lying out
one side of their mouth the other.

1391
01:56:46.399 --> 01:56:49.399
Let's take a quick look before we
have our guest join us at the top

1392
01:56:49.399 --> 01:56:55.720
of the hour. I got this
email from Australia Victoria, Australia listener there,

1393
01:56:55.840 --> 01:56:59.920
I'm glad to know that you're listening
in Australia, said that this is

1394
01:57:00.119 --> 01:57:05.359
what is happening in Australia. After
banning gas cooking and new home home buildings

1395
01:57:05.720 --> 01:57:12.680
in Victoria, they're now coming after
wood heaters. And I said, I'm

1396
01:57:12.720 --> 01:57:18.199
confused. Up until the early eighties
and Victoria, everyone used to incinerate their

1397
01:57:18.239 --> 01:57:23.600
garbage in the backyard. Nobody died
in my neighborhood from all those fumes.

1398
01:57:23.960 --> 01:57:26.760
However, all of a sudden,
people are dying from wood fire smoke.

1399
01:57:26.840 --> 01:57:30.640
I don't get it. Yeah,
yeah, if you're burning plastics or some

1400
01:57:30.720 --> 01:57:33.319
other things, right, that could
be very toxic fumes, but not wood.

1401
01:57:33.880 --> 01:57:36.680
Well, here's the way this runs. And I had a long experience

1402
01:57:36.680 --> 01:57:45.159
with this research. Triangle Park in
North Carolina. It's right around. I

1403
01:57:45.199 --> 01:57:47.960
have three cities and have three universities. You got n C State, you

1404
01:57:48.079 --> 01:57:54.079
got UNC, and you have Duke
and they're in Raleigh, Chapel Hill,

1405
01:57:54.359 --> 01:57:58.119
and Durham respectively, and then the
center of that they have a research area

1406
01:57:58.840 --> 01:58:01.560
and in a lot of different companies. I worked for one of them there,

1407
01:58:02.119 --> 01:58:05.560
and EPA has a really big presence
there. I knew some people who

1408
01:58:05.560 --> 01:58:10.479
worked for EPA. I also knew
some people who were Steve Maloy and others

1409
01:58:10.920 --> 01:58:15.079
who were exposing the lies that they
were doing in the EPA. When we

1410
01:58:15.159 --> 01:58:19.199
built our house quite a bit before
all this stuff happened, we had a

1411
01:58:19.199 --> 01:58:23.680
guy who put it in and he
said, yeah, that I just did

1412
01:58:23.720 --> 01:58:26.640
this for some guys who worked for
the EPA. They said that they had

1413
01:58:26.920 --> 01:58:30.560
tested wood fired fireplaces, and they
said this is by far and away the

1414
01:58:30.600 --> 01:58:35.520
cleanest burning, most thorough burning of
all them because it had an inn ceramic

1415
01:58:35.600 --> 01:58:40.039
core. You built a masonry thing
around it, and it had baffling that

1416
01:58:40.119 --> 01:58:44.079
went up and down before it went
out, so it burned everything pretty thoroughly.

1417
01:58:45.319 --> 01:58:49.720
But right at the time I was
leaving North Carolina in twenty twelve to

1418
01:58:49.760 --> 01:58:55.680
go to info wars. There was
a situation that Steve Mulloy saw where they

1419
01:58:55.800 --> 01:59:01.880
were looking for people who had respiratory
and heart issues and they brought that and

1420
01:59:01.920 --> 01:59:04.000
then some of them got sick,
and so they got his attention, and

1421
01:59:04.039 --> 01:59:08.760
he dug further and he found that
they were searching for people had these issues.

1422
01:59:08.760 --> 01:59:14.760
They were exposing them to find particulate
matter two point five nanometers, and

1423
01:59:15.119 --> 01:59:18.840
that's for diesel, right, and
also for this type of thing, which

1424
01:59:18.880 --> 01:59:24.279
is exactly what's happening there in Australia. They're still talking about fine particulate matter

1425
01:59:24.399 --> 01:59:28.399
of two point five and as all
that was happening, and they were doing

1426
01:59:28.479 --> 01:59:33.000
that experiment and they were exposing people
to seventy two times what they said was

1427
01:59:33.079 --> 01:59:38.359
the maximum amount people should be exposed
to. You had Obama's EPA director Lisa

1428
01:59:38.399 --> 01:59:44.439
Jackson giving testimony in a little back
and forth scripted thing with then Congressman Ed

1429
01:59:44.479 --> 01:59:47.840
Markey, who's now a senator,
and she said, Congressman Marque, I'm

1430
01:59:47.840 --> 01:59:51.399
not talking about people getting sick.
I'm talking about people dying. We got

1431
01:59:51.439 --> 01:59:57.600
people dying from fine particulate matter at
a higher rate than people who are dying

1432
01:59:57.640 --> 02:00:01.199
from cancer. She actually said that, and at that time, they were

1433
02:00:01.239 --> 02:00:05.720
exposing people that they'd screened who were
sick, who had respiratory and heart issues.

1434
02:00:06.119 --> 02:00:10.079
They were exposing them to seventy two
times a level that the EPA said

1435
02:00:10.560 --> 02:00:15.840
was allowed. When I did that
report about them, and I showed their

1436
02:00:15.960 --> 02:00:20.479
website, they've scrubbed it now,
but on their website they said, well,

1437
02:00:20.600 --> 02:00:24.359
smoky mountains. You know, this
is a good example, and that

1438
02:00:24.479 --> 02:00:27.920
was their picture at the top of
the thing about fine particular matter. Two

1439
02:00:27.920 --> 02:00:31.119
point five smoky mountains. This is
an example of fine particular matter. Well,

1440
02:00:31.720 --> 02:00:35.319
how profoundly did they not realize that
the Smoky Mountains were called the Smoky

1441
02:00:35.359 --> 02:00:42.119
Mountains by the Cherokee long before there
was an industrial revolution, long before there

1442
02:00:42.159 --> 02:00:45.479
were you know, wood fire probably
places at a large enough amount to make

1443
02:00:45.479 --> 02:00:49.520
it smoke. It's it's that way
because of the condensation of the moisture and

1444
02:00:49.560 --> 02:00:55.000
things like that. Whenever it rains, you see the Smoky Mountains get like

1445
02:00:55.000 --> 02:01:00.000
that. But they tried to make
it about industrial pollution, about diesel engine

1446
02:01:00.159 --> 02:01:02.439
and stuff. It was absolutely absurd, And I called him out on that,

1447
02:01:03.079 --> 02:01:09.000
and we called him out because the
people I've been working with sued them

1448
02:01:09.119 --> 02:01:17.239
under the He said that you violated
the the prohibitions of experimenting on people without

1449
02:01:17.760 --> 02:01:21.560
their consent, which of course we've
now seen that done in space, right,

1450
02:01:23.520 --> 02:01:28.119
and so you know they were suing
them with that. I did that,

1451
02:01:28.439 --> 02:01:31.000
and I knew a guy from Church
who worked for the EPA in research

1452
02:01:31.039 --> 02:01:33.159
Trungle Parky, and he was telling
me about this because he didn't like what

1453
02:01:33.199 --> 02:01:38.079
they were doing either, and he
wasn't the source of the stuff. But

1454
02:01:38.159 --> 02:01:42.399
what he told me was, he
said, they're really upset about what you

1455
02:01:42.560 --> 02:01:44.439
just said, you know all of
stuff. I said, Really, they're

1456
02:01:44.439 --> 02:01:47.520
watching me, watching me. I
was surprised that they were watching the stuff

1457
02:01:47.520 --> 02:01:49.920
that I was doing, but I
got their attention. They were being sued

1458
02:01:49.920 --> 02:01:53.520
by these other guys I was covering
that I was interviewing them. I was

1459
02:01:53.520 --> 02:01:57.680
doing my own reports about the EPA
and everything. And he said, and

1460
02:01:57.720 --> 02:02:00.920
I just mentioned on air, I
said, you know, one of the

1461
02:02:00.920 --> 02:02:03.119
guys that I know at church,
are you know, has told me that

1462
02:02:03.239 --> 02:02:08.479
they're they're really upset about this.
And I didn't mention his name or anything.

1463
02:02:09.119 --> 02:02:11.159
But then he tells me, he
says, I got called in on

1464
02:02:11.199 --> 02:02:13.439
this, and he said, we
know you're the one who's talking to him

1465
02:02:13.479 --> 02:02:15.840
and anything, and it's like wow, you know, so, yeah,

1466
02:02:15.920 --> 02:02:19.920
it's been a long game. And
now they're playing this game in Australia and

1467
02:02:19.920 --> 02:02:24.199
that's exactly what it is. Wood
Heater smoke is estimated to kill up to

1468
02:02:24.279 --> 02:02:30.840
sixty three people, they said in
Australia each year, prompting calls for a

1469
02:02:30.960 --> 02:02:38.000
national band. And again they're playing
all through this article that he sent the

1470
02:02:38.039 --> 02:02:43.279
big lie about how smoke from wood
is causing people to die. We're not

1471
02:02:43.319 --> 02:02:46.000
talking about him getting sick. And
at the same time you had the EPA

1472
02:02:46.039 --> 02:02:53.960
exposing people these extremely high levels and
again it's PM two point five particular matter

1473
02:02:54.119 --> 02:02:59.399
two point five microns or so.
Wood heaters estimated to be a nine hundred

1474
02:02:59.399 --> 02:03:00.920
thousand Australia homes. Well, if
that's the case, then why aren't people

1475
02:03:00.960 --> 02:03:05.399
dropping dead left and right. As
they said they used to burn their garbage.

1476
02:03:05.640 --> 02:03:09.680
A lot of that's going to be
a lot more toxic. They go

1477
02:03:09.720 --> 02:03:15.000
through different geographical areas of Australia projections
and estimates. Oh, we think eleven

1478
02:03:15.039 --> 02:03:19.159
to fifteen deaths in the capital.
We think twenty six to thirty six deaths

1479
02:03:19.239 --> 02:03:27.239
annually during milder years. I think
wood heater use is highlighting pollution means only

1480
02:03:27.239 --> 02:03:30.399
a few of them can affect entire
neighborhoods. This is all just propaganda,

1481
02:03:30.520 --> 02:03:34.199
it's all fear, it's all unbased. They set up to forty thousand wood

1482
02:03:34.199 --> 02:03:39.319
heaters are sold in Australia each year. They're estimated to be in nine hundred

1483
02:03:39.399 --> 02:03:42.079
thousand homes. Well, then again, by the same logic, if it's

1484
02:03:42.119 --> 02:03:46.479
dangerous, there'd be a lot more
deaths than ten or fifteen, wouldn't there.

1485
02:03:47.640 --> 02:03:51.039
When are we ever going to when
are we ever going to respond to

1486
02:03:51.079 --> 02:03:58.399
these government and media reports with the
right amount of skepticism and even cynicism.

1487
02:04:00.319 --> 02:04:05.760
Are cynical liars and propagandists, and
we need to understand what is going on

1488
02:04:05.800 --> 02:04:14.880
with that. And yet of course
they'll respond by shutting things down and by

1489
02:04:14.920 --> 02:04:21.520
censoring him, as they always do. When we look at the MAGA people,

1490
02:04:23.520 --> 02:04:27.680
and it is interesting, you know, when you look at the purging

1491
02:04:27.720 --> 02:04:32.680
of this and how even the fact
that you had this former NFL star Lawrence

1492
02:04:32.680 --> 02:04:38.880
Taylor showing up at the Trump rallies, and I have seen that in so

1493
02:04:39.039 --> 02:04:44.600
many different places. Did you know
that I didn't realize this until Harry hun

1494
02:04:44.680 --> 02:04:47.760
senate to me, did you know
that he is a convicted sex offender?

1495
02:04:47.800 --> 02:04:53.239
Back in twenty eleven, he was
convicted of sex with a sixteen year old

1496
02:04:53.920 --> 02:04:56.680
a prostitute. He said, well, I thought she was older. But

1497
02:04:56.760 --> 02:05:01.640
they registered him as a sex offender
and then they rearrested him ten years later

1498
02:05:01.640 --> 02:05:06.399
in twenty twenty one because he didn't
notify them of a change of address.

1499
02:05:08.039 --> 02:05:11.680
But hey, you know, he
is a football player. That's all that

1500
02:05:11.800 --> 02:05:15.239
matters. We're just fine with whatever
else. He's a football player and he

1501
02:05:15.239 --> 02:05:18.159
supports Trump, so that's all we
need to know. Nothing else really matters.

1502
02:05:18.159 --> 02:05:20.680
We're going to take a quick break
and we're going to be joined by

1503
02:05:20.800 --> 02:05:25.880
Jay Warner Wallace. I think you're
really going to enjoy this book he does.

1504
02:05:26.680 --> 02:05:30.960
He is a former cold case detective
and the name of the book is

1505
02:05:31.000 --> 02:05:36.720
The Truth in True Crime. You
know what can we learn from the kind

1506
02:05:36.720 --> 02:05:42.159
of detective work that he was doing. We'll take a quick break and we'll

1507
02:05:42.199 --> 02:07:18.880
be right back. You're listening to
the David Night Show. You're listening to

1508
02:07:18.960 --> 02:07:50.119
the David Knight Show. All right, welcome back in joining us now is

1509
02:07:50.239 --> 02:07:54.960
Jay Warner Wallace. He's been a
guest once before. We've talked about his

1510
02:07:55.119 --> 02:07:59.960
background. He was a cold case
detective. This is somebody who goes by

1511
02:08:00.159 --> 02:08:05.000
and investigates murder cases, things that
don't have a statute limitations, murder cases

1512
02:08:05.000 --> 02:08:09.399
where perhaps all the witnesses have died
and he's just going back looking at the

1513
02:08:09.439 --> 02:08:13.079
physical evidence of it. He's now
written a book called The Truth and True

1514
02:08:13.079 --> 02:08:18.720
Crime, and I love the tagline
here, when investigating death teaches us about

1515
02:08:18.760 --> 02:08:22.439
the meaning of life. It looks
like a fantastic book, and so I

1516
02:08:22.479 --> 02:08:24.399
wanted to get him on to talk
about that one as well. Thank you

1517
02:08:24.399 --> 02:08:26.039
for joining us, sir, Well, thanks for having me. I really

1518
02:08:26.079 --> 02:08:30.159
appreciate. This is my favorite book
I've written so far, so I'm glad

1519
02:08:30.199 --> 02:08:31.960
to talk about it. Oh,
it looks like a great angle and you

1520
02:08:33.000 --> 02:08:35.920
know, and something that you know
really affects all of us, and everybody

1521
02:08:35.960 --> 02:08:39.720
loves the crime aspect, and the
things that you gleaned from it too are

1522
02:08:39.760 --> 02:08:43.199
really interesting. I think, Yeah, I think there's actually some hidden Like

1523
02:08:43.600 --> 02:08:46.359
I was not a Christians through all
my career, but to you know,

1524
02:08:46.399 --> 02:08:50.279
the first eight years or so,
I was not a believer until I was

1525
02:08:50.319 --> 02:08:54.640
thirty five. I became a believer
by examining the Gospels kind of from a

1526
02:08:54.680 --> 02:08:58.359
forensic perspective. How do we know
or why would we trust if we tested

1527
02:08:58.399 --> 02:09:03.159
these people as eyewitnesses. Why would
we even think Number one, that they

1528
02:09:03.199 --> 02:09:07.800
are written by eyewitnesses or even anybody
who had access to eyewitnesses. And if

1529
02:09:07.800 --> 02:09:11.560
you did believe that, how would
you test them to see if they could

1530
02:09:11.560 --> 02:09:13.880
pass the test? Now, once
I was in I started to look at

1531
02:09:13.960 --> 02:09:18.279
human behavior a little bit differently.
Right, if you work murders, you

1532
02:09:18.439 --> 02:09:24.680
are seeing people at their rawest point, the point at which all of the

1533
02:09:24.760 --> 02:09:28.720
kind of bars are off. I
mean, this is Sadly, when you

1534
02:09:28.760 --> 02:09:31.000
get to the point where you're willing
to do something crazy like this, it's

1535
02:09:31.000 --> 02:09:35.640
probably because you've been pushed to a
certain limit and your true nature is now

1536
02:09:35.119 --> 02:09:39.920
going to be revealed, and it
really, I think, exposes all of

1537
02:09:39.960 --> 02:09:41.760
our true nature. So I wanted
to write a book that has talked about

1538
02:09:41.760 --> 02:09:48.159
like, what are these attributes fifteen
attributes of human flourishing that I discovered in

1539
02:09:48.199 --> 02:09:52.159
fifteen separate crime stories, and then
talk about you know, is that something

1540
02:09:52.239 --> 02:09:54.960
number one that Yeah, secular people
they do studies on this and they confirm

1541
02:09:56.039 --> 02:10:00.000
that this is these are fifteen things
that if you simply embrace these fifteen prints,

1542
02:10:00.000 --> 02:10:03.000
suppose you will have a better life. But it turns out these are

1543
02:10:03.039 --> 02:10:09.520
fifteen ancient descriptions of human nature from
scripture that people for the most part,

1544
02:10:09.640 --> 02:10:13.680
think they're discovering them in the last
three three decades, when in fact these

1545
02:10:13.680 --> 02:10:16.520
have been on the pages of the
New Testament for two thousand years. And

1546
02:10:16.560 --> 02:10:18.960
so I really wanted to do a
book where I kind of demonstrated that that's

1547
02:10:20.000 --> 02:10:26.039
amazing. Yeah, it's And why
did you do a forensic investigation of Christianity

1548
02:10:26.239 --> 02:10:28.239
in the first place. Well,
I was thirty five, so it was

1549
02:10:28.239 --> 02:10:31.439
probably about nineteen ninety five or six, right in that range. It took

1550
02:10:31.479 --> 02:10:35.600
me about eighteen months, I would
say, to complete that stuff that I

1551
02:10:35.800 --> 02:10:39.840
was. I was so skeptical and
not raised around Christians or anybody really believed

1552
02:10:39.000 --> 02:10:43.720
in God in a way they could
articulate. So I didn't have like a

1553
02:10:43.800 --> 02:10:46.720
leg up like somebody who could say, hey, look at this or look

1554
02:10:46.720 --> 02:10:48.319
at that. I had to commit
a raw and so I bought my first

1555
02:10:48.319 --> 02:10:50.720
Bible. I was thirty five,
and it took me a while to kind

1556
02:10:50.760 --> 02:10:54.279
of go through the Gospels, and
I was just tearing them apart from just

1557
02:10:54.399 --> 02:10:58.359
word usage. You know, all
the attributes. I wrote about this in

1558
02:10:58.359 --> 02:11:03.000
a book called Cold Case Christianity,
and that book just kind of covers that

1559
02:11:03.119 --> 02:11:05.760
journey. But that's something that'll get
you to the point where you might believe

1560
02:11:05.760 --> 02:11:09.640
it's true. Look, I think
that as a boomer, as somebody who's

1561
02:11:09.640 --> 02:11:13.640
older, I have a high value
for whether something is true or not.

1562
02:11:13.880 --> 02:11:18.119
And there are people in my generation
would probably agree. But I don't know

1563
02:11:18.159 --> 02:11:22.039
that that's the case for young people
gen z and millennials. I think they're

1564
02:11:22.479 --> 02:11:26.319
not as concerned about whether something's true
because they've co opted that word. That

1565
02:11:26.439 --> 02:11:30.399
war doesn't mean it's true anymore.
It means it's true for me. That's

1566
02:11:30.439 --> 02:11:33.439
right. It's true based on my
lived experience, or it's true based on

1567
02:11:33.520 --> 02:11:35.800
how I have applied it to my
life. Doesn't mean it's true for them.

1568
02:11:37.159 --> 02:11:39.079
Now. When I use the word
true, I'm using it in a

1569
02:11:39.079 --> 02:11:41.720
more objective way. But it's true
for all of us, whether we like

1570
02:11:41.800 --> 02:11:45.960
it or not. I think that
this generation I'm talking to now is more

1571
02:11:46.000 --> 02:11:50.479
concerned about whether or not it's good
because they believe they've been sold by the

1572
02:11:50.479 --> 02:11:56.640
culture that Christianity is the source behind
every evil intent, misogyny, racism,

1573
02:11:56.000 --> 02:12:01.359
homophobia, whatever it may be,
it's really they are going to attribute it

1574
02:12:01.399 --> 02:12:07.199
to this traditional Western culture worldview that
we hold as Christians. So I wanted

1575
02:12:07.239 --> 02:12:11.039
to show that. Yeah, but
if you didn't believe in Christianity, you're

1576
02:12:11.159 --> 02:12:18.600
probably already employing its teaching if you're
flourishing, and the more you detach from

1577
02:12:18.640 --> 02:12:22.239
its teaching, the more you're going
to struggle. So I just look,

1578
02:12:22.279 --> 02:12:26.159
this is what we're seeing in culture. And so I wrote a book this

1579
02:12:26.199 --> 02:12:30.439
time which really looks at all of
the data. So most of my books

1580
02:12:30.439 --> 02:12:33.600
I spent a lot of time researching. And although this book has about fifty

1581
02:12:33.640 --> 02:12:37.359
pages in the printed edition of footnotes, there are two hundred pages in the

1582
02:12:37.359 --> 02:12:41.920
pdf file you provide online. Why
because I want you to see that if

1583
02:12:41.920 --> 02:12:46.560
I'm making this claim, it's supported
by the data. But it turns out

1584
02:12:46.600 --> 02:12:50.600
that that data simply supports what was
claimed in scripture two thousand years ago.

1585
02:12:50.720 --> 02:12:54.680
So it's eye opening for me to
realize that our human it makes sense though.

1586
02:12:54.760 --> 02:13:00.000
Think about it. If we are
designed by a creator God who knows

1587
02:13:00.239 --> 02:13:03.720
something about us, and we are
in his image. Then it turns out

1588
02:13:03.720 --> 02:13:07.159
that that book we have called scripture, called the Bible ought to describe us

1589
02:13:07.199 --> 02:13:11.119
the way we really are. Yes, And if it does describe us the

1590
02:13:11.159 --> 02:13:15.159
way we really are, you could
consider that at least. I was listening

1591
02:13:15.199 --> 02:13:20.439
to a pundit who usually talks about
politics recently who's Jewish, and when asked,

1592
02:13:22.159 --> 02:13:24.640
when he defends why he's Jewish,
he says, well, because it

1593
02:13:24.680 --> 02:13:28.600
turns out that these principles work.
M hm, oh, that's interesting,

1594
02:13:28.640 --> 02:13:33.319
and he sees that as an evidence
that the worldview is true. Okay,

1595
02:13:33.479 --> 02:13:35.920
And by the way, that may
or may not be an evidence that your

1596
02:13:37.000 --> 02:13:39.680
worldview is true. But it strikes
me that if your worldview is true,

1597
02:13:41.479 --> 02:13:43.199
it ought to describe you the way
you really are. And so in that

1598
02:13:43.239 --> 02:13:48.680
sense, it could provide you with
some insight into your human nature and how

1599
02:13:48.720 --> 02:13:52.119
you could flourish. Yeah, it
would be necessary, not necessarily sufficient,

1600
02:13:52.159 --> 02:13:54.439
but it would be necessary for that. Yea's true, right, that's right,

1601
02:13:54.439 --> 02:13:58.239
exactly right. Yeah, what's the
most surprising thing that you found out

1602
02:13:58.239 --> 02:14:03.880
about human nature? And investigating this? Well, so every chapter is a

1603
02:14:03.920 --> 02:14:05.960
crime story, right, So in
one of these stories, I talk about

1604
02:14:05.000 --> 02:14:11.079
celebrity and how sometimes when you are
a local, especially in the gang cultures,

1605
02:14:11.560 --> 02:14:13.840
if you're somebody who's known locally,
you can kind of become like a

1606
02:14:13.880 --> 02:14:16.840
celebrity in your own neighborhood or at
least in your own click or your own

1607
02:14:16.840 --> 02:14:20.279
gang. And I've got one of
these stories here to show how detrimental our

1608
02:14:20.359 --> 02:14:24.079
pursuit of celebrity is. And the
reason why I wrote that chapter is because

1609
02:14:24.079 --> 02:14:28.359
I don't think it's just it's just
not just a few of us who are

1610
02:14:28.439 --> 02:14:31.680
seeking celebrity anymore. I mean,
there are no gatekeepers. You know this,

1611
02:14:31.840 --> 02:14:35.600
even think about it. We are
able not to develop our own personal

1612
02:14:35.640 --> 02:14:39.960
platforms without a gatekeeper at NBC,
ABC or CBS that used to be or

1613
02:14:41.159 --> 02:14:43.720
Salem right, whatever the radio station
was that used to be the gate cape

1614
02:14:43.760 --> 02:14:48.800
keepers that kept people from becoming a
celebrity. Those are gone. So now

1615
02:14:48.880 --> 02:14:52.279
all of us, if we can
develop a following, we can make it

1616
02:14:52.279 --> 02:14:56.680
from zero to a million listeners without
any support. And that's where I think

1617
02:14:56.680 --> 02:15:03.199
we have to be careful. It
turns out that one of the most powerful

1618
02:15:03.399 --> 02:15:07.359
attributes that we could adopt as humans
that would change your life. As a

1619
02:15:07.359 --> 02:15:13.239
matter of fact, if you simply
embraced this virtue, you will have increased

1620
02:15:13.239 --> 02:15:18.800
flourishing in every single metric that we
use to actually measure human flourishing, longevity,

1621
02:15:18.960 --> 02:15:22.199
mental health, physical health, the
deepness of your relationships. That I

1622
02:15:22.840 --> 02:15:24.920
will improve your marriage, I'll make
you a better employer, a better employee,

1623
02:15:24.960 --> 02:15:28.680
You'll learn at a higher level,
you'll get better grades, you'll make

1624
02:15:28.720 --> 02:15:33.960
more money. I mean, every
way that we measure flourishing improves if you

1625
02:15:35.079 --> 02:15:39.560
simply adopt this one thing, and
it's really the opposite of celebrity. It

1626
02:15:39.680 --> 02:15:43.640
is the attribute we know as humility. Now, they've been studying this for

1627
02:15:43.680 --> 02:15:48.720
about three decades and looking at all
kinds of studies that are out there that

1628
02:15:48.840 --> 02:15:54.319
talks about how humble people succeed at
levels that are far higher than the rest

1629
02:15:54.319 --> 02:15:56.199
of us, and why that might
be true. Okay, fine, but

1630
02:15:56.279 --> 02:16:00.479
it turns out that humility is one
of those things. I think if I

1631
02:16:00.520 --> 02:16:03.479
ask people, hey, what do
you think the one attribute you could adopt

1632
02:16:03.520 --> 02:16:05.640
that would help you in every aspect
of your life at a higher level than

1633
02:16:05.680 --> 02:16:09.560
anything else, I don't think many
people would come up with humility. But

1634
02:16:09.640 --> 02:16:15.279
it turns out, yeah, it
is actually the thing we need to embrace.

1635
02:16:15.319 --> 02:16:18.359
Now, what's interesting about that.
Think about every worldview that's out there.

1636
02:16:20.199 --> 02:16:24.000
None of them leverage humility like the
Christian worldview. What I mean is

1637
02:16:24.079 --> 02:16:31.279
if your theistic worldview, your spiritual
worldview encourages you to do these certain things

1638
02:16:31.319 --> 02:16:35.920
to reach the highest level that your
spiritual worldview offers. In other words,

1639
02:16:35.319 --> 02:16:39.680
if it is about earning something,
it's a transaction between you and God,

1640
02:16:39.719 --> 02:16:43.840
a transaction between you and the universe. There's no way to avoid pride in

1641
02:16:43.879 --> 02:16:46.760
that kind of a system, because
at some point you're going to look across

1642
02:16:46.760 --> 02:16:50.399
the room and say, I'm doing
better than that. Did We measure based

1643
02:16:50.399 --> 02:16:52.719
on our achievements, right. And
I have a friend who's now no longer

1644
02:16:52.760 --> 02:16:56.559
with this name, Mike Adams.
Mike and I would travel and do a

1645
02:16:56.600 --> 02:16:58.520
lot of events together, and he
used to always tease writ in this book

1646
02:17:00.399 --> 02:17:05.159
how to become a humble in ten
easy steps and how I made it in

1647
02:17:05.319 --> 02:17:09.120
eight You know, it's like this, there's no way that you can pursue

1648
02:17:09.239 --> 02:17:15.799
humility without at some point doing just
the opposite and becoming prideful. So it

1649
02:17:15.840 --> 02:17:20.319
turns out that humility is something you
It's an assessment. Spurgeon calls it the

1650
02:17:20.319 --> 02:17:26.079
proper assessment of who we are before
a holy God. Now, Christianity leverages

1651
02:17:26.159 --> 02:17:28.920
this because it's the one worldview that
says, no, it's not a transaction.

1652
02:17:30.479 --> 02:17:33.040
There's nothing you can do to earn
this. As a matter of fact,

1653
02:17:33.079 --> 02:17:37.280
if whatever the highest thing you think
you hope to achieve in your worldview

1654
02:17:37.440 --> 02:17:39.879
is, We're going to give it
to you. It's a free gift over

1655
02:17:39.920 --> 02:17:43.440
here. Why so that Paul says, no one can boast. It's an

1656
02:17:43.520 --> 02:17:48.799
antidote to pride and celebrity. It's
an antidote to look what I did is

1657
02:17:48.840 --> 02:17:54.319
look what's been done for me.
This view requires us to begin in humility

1658
02:17:54.360 --> 02:17:56.559
because to say that, Okay,
there is God and it's not me,

1659
02:17:56.319 --> 02:17:58.680
well, it's a very humble position. I'm not the God of my own

1660
02:18:00.159 --> 02:18:05.000
the center of my own decision making
universe. Well, this begins and ends

1661
02:18:05.079 --> 02:18:07.840
in our Savior says this pulses have
the attitude that Jesus had, who,

1662
02:18:07.959 --> 02:18:11.399
although he existed in the form of
God, did not regard equality with God

1663
02:18:11.440 --> 02:18:15.840
a thing to be grasped, but
instead emptied himself taking the form of a

1664
02:18:15.840 --> 02:18:20.079
bond servant, taking the form.
In other words, it's all humility.

1665
02:18:20.159 --> 02:18:22.680
Start to finish, and as difficult
as that is for us to achieve,

1666
02:18:24.319 --> 02:18:28.760
if we don't recognize its power in
our lives, will never even try to

1667
02:18:28.879 --> 02:18:33.680
submit, will never even begin to
let go of the things that possess us.

1668
02:18:33.239 --> 02:18:37.840
So I just want to spend one
chapter in these fifteen chapters talking about

1669
02:18:37.840 --> 02:18:41.639
the role that celebrity plays. And
by the way, almost every crime you're

1670
02:18:41.680 --> 02:18:46.360
going to, every crime you're going
to commit, is driven by the different

1671
02:18:46.399 --> 02:18:50.559
chapter. But these three prideful motives. It's the pursuit of money, the

1672
02:18:50.600 --> 02:18:54.280
pursuit of sex, or the pursuit
of power. Now, that pursuit of

1673
02:18:54.319 --> 02:19:00.239
power, that's a huge category of
misbehavior, and that's where celebrity fits all

1674
02:19:00.280 --> 02:19:03.879
of us. Look, you and
I both would we like more people to

1675
02:19:03.959 --> 02:19:07.639
listen to what we're saying? Of
course we would. So although we might

1676
02:19:07.680 --> 02:19:13.639
protect ourselves from the pursuit of money
and the pursuit of sex with knowing that

1677
02:19:13.639 --> 02:19:18.000
that can derail us, we don't
usually protect ourselves from the pursuit of celebrity.

1678
02:19:18.760 --> 02:19:22.040
In fact, what we typically do
is want to increase that area of

1679
02:19:22.079 --> 02:19:26.200
our life, so we can We'll
argue, oh, because I want to

1680
02:19:26.280 --> 02:19:31.479
reach more people with this divine message
really, so we will increase the celebrity.

1681
02:19:31.520 --> 02:19:33.639
Now, now here's the danger in
it. And this is a different

1682
02:19:33.719 --> 02:19:37.959
chapter, but there's a danger in
this. I have never known anyone of

1683
02:19:37.000 --> 02:19:41.399
those three motives for misbehavior, and
there are only three. There's not a

1684
02:19:41.440 --> 02:19:46.000
fourth motive. There isn't. Now
you can discover this secularly working as a

1685
02:19:46.000 --> 02:19:48.120
homicide detective, or you can discover
this on the pages of scripture, because

1686
02:19:48.159 --> 02:19:52.000
John writes about it in one of
his letters. But my point is,

1687
02:19:52.200 --> 02:19:54.719
these are only three motives out there
for stupid, and if you don't protect

1688
02:19:54.760 --> 02:19:58.520
yourself from those three motives for stupid, you will eventually do one of them.

1689
02:19:58.639 --> 02:20:01.719
Here's what I've noticed. If you
begin to scratch one of those itches,

1690
02:20:01.760 --> 02:20:07.479
you will eventually scratch the other two
because the other two become available to

1691
02:20:07.520 --> 02:20:11.319
you on the basis of what you've
achieved in the third. So you see

1692
02:20:11.319 --> 02:20:15.600
this, and even Christian leaders right
where they fall for someone Why, well,

1693
02:20:15.719 --> 02:20:18.319
here's why, in my opinion,
because as a congregation, or as

1694
02:20:18.360 --> 02:20:22.920
your deacon board or your elder board, they're trying to protect their pastors from

1695
02:20:22.959 --> 02:20:26.840
the sex and money. But everyone
wants their pastor to be known more so

1696
02:20:26.920 --> 02:20:31.719
they can build a bigger church,
and when you increase your celebrity, you

1697
02:20:31.799 --> 02:20:37.639
only open the door to the other
two. So this is why I've struggled

1698
02:20:37.680 --> 02:20:41.879
with this even in writing this book, because as I'm writing this book,

1699
02:20:41.920 --> 02:20:45.280
if I'm going to heed my own
advice, I have to do less of

1700
02:20:45.360 --> 02:20:50.479
this, because it turns out all
of this talking about a book you've written

1701
02:20:50.280 --> 02:20:56.680
is about you trying to amplify your
platform, amplify your influence in culture.

1702
02:20:56.719 --> 02:20:58.959
And that's I think there's a good
by the way all three of them,

1703
02:21:00.000 --> 02:21:03.440
these things have been designed by God
for his glory and for our good.

1704
02:21:03.600 --> 02:21:07.360
We just happened to distort them.
So sex, money, in power is

1705
02:21:07.360 --> 02:21:11.879
something that God is giving us in
a positive way. This is another chapter

1706
02:21:11.920 --> 02:21:15.879
in the book. It's a chapter
about a guy who was basically homeless and

1707
02:21:16.440 --> 02:21:18.399
was killed. And I'm thinking,
what are these three motives? What did

1708
02:21:18.399 --> 02:21:24.399
this killer have to gain from this
homeless guy who was so sweet They called

1709
02:21:24.479 --> 02:21:26.680
him Santa Claus because he looked like
Santa Claus and he was as sweet as

1710
02:21:26.680 --> 02:21:31.159
Santa Claus. And what does he
offer in terms of sex, money,

1711
02:21:31.239 --> 02:21:33.680
or power that would be worthy of
killing him? Well, here's what happens

1712
02:21:33.799 --> 02:21:37.319
is that when we focus on those
things that are given to us by God

1713
02:21:37.360 --> 02:21:41.639
instead of on the God who gave
him to us, we're stopping one level

1714
02:21:41.719 --> 02:21:45.719
short of our worship. And we
all worship. Everyone worships, whether you're

1715
02:21:45.719 --> 02:21:50.479
a believer or not. There is
something that you think as of utmost importance

1716
02:21:50.520 --> 02:21:54.319
that you dare not take that from
me, because that's the thing that I

1717
02:21:54.479 --> 02:21:58.959
covet And this idolatry is what causes
us. So in this particular case,

1718
02:22:01.159 --> 02:22:05.120
this poor guy had slipped over.
They were he was recycling stuff. Every

1719
02:22:05.200 --> 02:22:07.360
day, he would go out and
spend the first half of his day picking

1720
02:22:07.399 --> 02:22:11.040
up trash cans, going through trash
cans and picking up recyclables. Then he

1721
02:22:11.040 --> 02:22:13.239
would take them to the recycling center
and get just enough money to go and

1722
02:22:13.280 --> 02:22:16.920
he would buy alcohol and food in
the afternoon. And that was his day

1723
02:22:18.000 --> 02:22:22.159
every day, very very workmanlike.
And he had slipped into an area of

1724
02:22:22.159 --> 02:22:26.520
our city that another guy who was
doing the same thing felt was his alley.

1725
02:22:26.799 --> 02:22:31.000
Don't be picking trash out of those
two cans. And although the amount

1726
02:22:31.040 --> 02:22:35.399
of money that Santa Claus probably got
from that was what pennies dollars, maybe

1727
02:22:37.399 --> 02:22:39.760
it was enough. So he confronted
this guy. He confronted Santa Claus and

1728
02:22:39.760 --> 02:22:43.840
said, don't be doing that anymore
at a recycling center, and Santa Claus

1729
02:22:43.879 --> 02:22:48.120
kind of just blew him off.
Well, it turned out in that one

1730
02:22:48.159 --> 02:22:50.120
moment he had triggered the two of
the three things. Number One, he

1731
02:22:50.159 --> 02:22:54.479
had disrespected him. So the idea
of power, authority, respect, that's

1732
02:22:54.520 --> 02:22:58.479
in the third category. Now I'm
upset because you disrespected me in front of

1733
02:22:58.479 --> 02:23:03.120
my peers too. You take pennies
or dollars. But because I've turned both

1734
02:23:03.120 --> 02:23:07.000
of these things, I covet them
at a high level. I've now turned

1735
02:23:07.000 --> 02:23:11.879
them into idols. You dare not
try to destroy my idols. And that

1736
02:23:13.040 --> 02:23:18.559
night he stabbed into death over virtually
nothing. This is the power of idolatry.

1737
02:23:18.840 --> 02:23:22.719
And by the way, it's not
just people you work and work in

1738
02:23:22.799 --> 02:23:26.399
homicides, it's all of us.
And so on that chapter. What I

1739
02:23:26.399 --> 02:23:28.559
try to do in every chapter is
show you, hey, if this is

1740
02:23:28.600 --> 02:23:33.159
your struggle, whatever these things are, here's a way for you to address

1741
02:23:33.200 --> 02:23:35.000
it. And in this chapter,
I just to ask fifteen questions, like

1742
02:23:35.079 --> 02:23:39.079
what you want to know what your
idols are? Because we all have them,

1743
02:23:39.639 --> 02:23:41.559
well, ask these fifteen questions and
you probably identify them. And then

1744
02:23:41.600 --> 02:23:45.239
once you've identified him, you can
start to actually think, Okay, look,

1745
02:23:45.479 --> 02:23:48.120
it's something that God has created it
rather than the God who created it.

1746
02:23:48.680 --> 02:23:52.399
We simply have to transfer our worship
up one levels, just from the

1747
02:23:52.479 --> 02:23:58.000
level where we're stopped in God's creation
and back to the creator. And so

1748
02:23:58.040 --> 02:24:01.799
it's something that if you do it, you will flourish. Will you will

1749
02:24:01.799 --> 02:24:05.959
not Number one, you'll protect yourself
from stupid and number two, you'll actually

1750
02:24:07.040 --> 02:24:09.840
start to pursue the things that contribute
to a meaningful life. And I think

1751
02:24:09.879 --> 02:24:15.920
that you do that with thankfulness because
when you say thank God for what that

1752
02:24:16.120 --> 02:24:18.360
is, and sincerely think about what
it is that God is giving you,

1753
02:24:18.360 --> 02:24:22.440
you look at it as not something
that you've achieved, then that does move

1754
02:24:22.479 --> 02:24:26.319
it to the higher level. And
yeah, with that right now, I'm

1755
02:24:28.000 --> 02:24:30.399
I'm skipping across a number of different
chapters here, but yeah, I think

1756
02:24:30.399 --> 02:24:33.319
you're right. I think the part
of it is is that what I've discovered

1757
02:24:33.600 --> 02:24:35.799
and is true of all of us
is the least thankful people are the people

1758
02:24:35.959 --> 02:24:39.319
who think they have nothing to be
thankful for, or the least forgiving people

1759
02:24:39.760 --> 02:24:43.000
are the people who think they have
nothing to be forgiven for. So it

1760
02:24:43.040 --> 02:24:48.000
does turn out that a proper assessment
of who you are, because it's really

1761
02:24:48.040 --> 02:24:50.600
easy for me to think, well, everything I've got in my life I

1762
02:24:50.639 --> 02:24:54.600
achieved that. Yes, I am
the reason for all my success, the

1763
02:24:54.680 --> 02:25:01.040
reason for everything I've ever possessed.
Okay, if that's your view, well,

1764
02:25:01.120 --> 02:25:03.399
that kind of pride is it doesn't
lead any more positive. That's right,

1765
02:25:03.479 --> 02:25:07.120
because anytime anyone challenges that that might
not be the case, you're now

1766
02:25:07.159 --> 02:25:13.639
offended. And so it turns out
that whatever it is we've worshiped that becomes

1767
02:25:13.840 --> 02:25:20.600
the master, the master that you
dare not question, the Master that I'm

1768
02:25:20.639 --> 02:25:26.479
now willing to give up tons of
time for resources for. I can say

1769
02:25:26.479 --> 02:25:28.440
that, you know, I had
that early on when I was young.

1770
02:25:28.639 --> 02:25:31.639
I had a lot of success with
a lot of stuff very easily, and

1771
02:25:31.719 --> 02:25:35.200
I did think it was what I
had done. And I got to say,

1772
02:25:35.280 --> 02:25:39.799
it was such an amazing blessing for
God to take that away from me

1773
02:25:39.879 --> 02:25:43.079
and humble me, you know,
And that's exactly what it was. And

1774
02:25:43.120 --> 02:25:46.520
I thank God for that taking that
away from me. The biggest blessings of

1775
02:25:46.520 --> 02:25:50.360
my life. And you're absolutely,
and I think you and I as guys,

1776
02:25:50.399 --> 02:25:54.040
we are even more prone to this
because and this is a differentis chapter

1777
02:25:54.040 --> 02:25:56.239
two of the book. It's an
identity issue for us. I mean a

1778
02:25:56.319 --> 02:26:00.239
lot of it is is that I
don't have my as a Christian, ought

1779
02:26:00.239 --> 02:26:03.399
to have my identity in Christ.
But the way we form identity, and

1780
02:26:03.440 --> 02:26:05.239
I covered this in the book,
we don't typically form it that way.

1781
02:26:05.280 --> 02:26:09.399
What we typically do instead is we
form it as men in our achievements,

1782
02:26:09.840 --> 02:26:13.000
in what it is we've achieved.
So if I asked, you know,

1783
02:26:13.040 --> 02:26:16.280
who are you David Well, You're
going to say I'm the host of this

1784
02:26:16.399 --> 02:26:20.719
show. If you said, who
are you, Jim Well, I'm a

1785
02:26:20.760 --> 02:26:24.159
cold case detective. Okay? Is
that who I am? Look, I

1786
02:26:24.200 --> 02:26:28.120
haven't been in a dayline episode in
three years. Okay, I need at

1787
02:26:28.120 --> 02:26:30.920
some point you need to say,
Okay, who are you really, Jim?

1788
02:26:31.360 --> 02:26:35.079
And this struggle of identity is so
key to how we function in the

1789
02:26:35.120 --> 02:26:39.920
world because identity is really exposed as
our forms of worship, because I guarantee,

1790
02:26:39.920 --> 02:26:43.280
as men, we typically form our
worship based on what we do.

1791
02:26:45.000 --> 02:26:50.159
You know identity when you study it
in the surveys and the research on this,

1792
02:26:50.440 --> 02:26:54.159
it's inseparable from value and purpose,
and unfortunately a lot of us form

1793
02:26:54.159 --> 02:27:00.200
our identity based in reverse. In
other words, we asked the question where

1794
02:27:00.200 --> 02:27:03.159
am I valuable? What am I
good at? What do I have purpose

1795
02:27:03.200 --> 02:27:05.200
in? That's who I am?
Rather than say, well, no,

1796
02:27:05.319 --> 02:27:09.600
who am I? I want to
form my value and purpose based on my

1797
02:27:09.760 --> 02:27:15.520
identity first, not my identity based
on my value and purpose, because that's

1798
02:27:15.559 --> 02:27:18.040
the problem, because there's nothing but
pride that comes out of forming your identity

1799
02:27:18.040 --> 02:27:22.319
based on what you're good at,
because it's about what you're good at.

1800
02:27:22.840 --> 02:27:26.760
Yes, so this is and it's
the biggest, one single move that leads

1801
02:27:28.639 --> 02:27:31.840
to contentment is to reform your identity
not based on what you can achieve,

1802
02:27:31.920 --> 02:27:35.879
but based on what you receive from
a holy God. That is amazing.

1803
02:27:37.399 --> 02:27:39.639
When you're talking about that, you
say, you know, how do you

1804
02:27:39.639 --> 02:27:41.959
define yourself? Is it the show
that you have, is it the book

1805
02:27:41.959 --> 02:27:43.639
that you've written, or is the
career that you have. It makes me

1806
02:27:43.680 --> 02:27:48.520
think back to the Austrian Empire when
they would have their emperors die. They

1807
02:27:48.520 --> 02:27:52.719
had these big, elaborate funerals and
they would take them to this amazing crypt

1808
02:27:52.079 --> 02:27:56.360
Actually I've been there with my family
to see this thing, and it truly

1809
02:27:56.399 --> 02:28:00.000
is amazing. And they would have
as they bring the body into the crypt,

1810
02:28:00.079 --> 02:28:01.840
they would knock, and the person
inside would say who goes there?

1811
02:28:01.879 --> 02:28:05.760
And they would give all of the
big political titles, you know, he's

1812
02:28:05.799 --> 02:28:07.959
the empire of the empire of this, and the king of that and all

1813
02:28:07.959 --> 02:28:09.959
the rest of the stuff. I
don't know him. And then they would

1814
02:28:11.000 --> 02:28:13.360
knock again and they say who is
it, and he would give family relationships

1815
02:28:13.479 --> 02:28:18.159
right that he has. I don't
know him. And then he'd knock a

1816
02:28:18.159 --> 02:28:22.159
third time and it would say and
it's a humble sinner, Ronz Joseph,

1817
02:28:22.200 --> 02:28:24.959
I know him, enter, you
know. And that's a kind of an

1818
02:28:24.959 --> 02:28:30.079
interesting thing. Awesome. Yeah,
that's an awesome just a word picture of

1819
02:28:30.120 --> 02:28:33.760
what we're talking about here. Now. This is something that is and I

1820
02:28:33.799 --> 02:28:35.479
don't know how much time we have
on this, but let me just say

1821
02:28:35.479 --> 02:28:39.440
I've got a friend named Joe Martin
who's a doctor, who is a philosopher

1822
02:28:39.479 --> 02:28:43.040
and a theologian. We got plenty
of time, by the way. So

1823
02:28:43.879 --> 02:28:48.280
he says that men are all about
the Asians. When we have conversations,

1824
02:28:48.799 --> 02:28:52.920
it's all about the Asians. And
I think it does expose how we form

1825
02:28:52.959 --> 02:28:54.959
identity. So here, for example, he would say, when we meet

1826
02:28:54.959 --> 02:28:58.799
another guy, we shake hands and
we say what do you do? First

1827
02:28:58.840 --> 02:29:03.760
day is occupation? Okay, that's
the first aation. And when we're not

1828
02:29:03.799 --> 02:29:07.879
really asking what do you do?
We are because of how we form identity.

1829
02:29:07.879 --> 02:29:11.600
As met we're asking who are you
now? As we ask that,

1830
02:29:11.760 --> 02:29:18.680
all identity, remember, is comparative. It's not about well, how wealthy

1831
02:29:18.680 --> 02:29:22.319
are you? It's how wealthy are
you compared to this guy or everybody else.

1832
02:29:22.920 --> 02:29:26.200
That's how you know if you're wealthy, how smart are you compared to

1833
02:29:26.360 --> 02:29:31.840
others? Sadly, identity is for
by comparing, and that's why it's so

1834
02:29:31.920 --> 02:29:33.399
prideful, right, because we have
a tendency to say, well I'm better

1835
02:29:33.399 --> 02:29:37.719
over here, I'm better over there. So occupation is the first ation,

1836
02:29:37.319 --> 02:29:39.600
and then what we're measuring. We're
saying, okay, well I know what

1837
02:29:39.680 --> 02:29:46.680
that job requires in terms of education. Second aation, we're now we're saying,

1838
02:29:46.680 --> 02:29:50.920
well he's better educated or I'm better
educated. We're measuring here we are

1839
02:29:50.959 --> 02:29:54.559
in that first conversation with another guy, and by asking what is your occupation,

1840
02:29:54.840 --> 02:30:01.040
we're starting to measure the other ass
second one as education. Third,

1841
02:30:01.319 --> 02:30:03.239
well, we're asking, well,
I know what that makes. If you're

1842
02:30:03.280 --> 02:30:07.280
a surgeon, I know you're making
some or if you're an accountant, whatever

1843
02:30:07.280 --> 02:30:13.799
it is, you're measuring compensation.
That's the next station. So at some

1844
02:30:13.879 --> 02:30:16.399
point then you're asking, too,
how good are you at this? You

1845
02:30:16.399 --> 02:30:20.479
could be a doctor, but just
be a terrible doctor. Reputation is the

1846
02:30:20.520 --> 02:30:24.200
next ation. What are we doing
here, Well, we're measuring based on

1847
02:30:24.959 --> 02:30:30.479
we're assigning value based on the answers
here. And if you're a guy,

1848
02:30:30.520 --> 02:30:33.760
if you're a cop, especially,
you could be somebody who's that's got nothing

1849
02:30:33.760 --> 02:30:37.440
more than a high school education and
you're working as a patrol officer and I've

1850
02:30:37.479 --> 02:30:41.600
been making that much money, you've
never tried to do anything other. But

1851
02:30:41.639 --> 02:30:46.079
if you're six foot eight and cut
like a Greek god, you're still the

1852
02:30:46.120 --> 02:30:50.719
biggest dog in the room. Because
now it's about intimidation at the last station.

1853
02:30:50.840 --> 02:30:54.239
So I think he's got a point. It's very unlike now. I'm

1854
02:30:54.280 --> 02:30:58.239
sure that for all of us.
If you're not a guy, you're a

1855
02:30:58.280 --> 02:31:01.319
woman, and you're listening to this, then there's probably some other level of

1856
02:31:01.360 --> 02:31:05.879
but be honest, we do this
all the time, and because identity is

1857
02:31:05.959 --> 02:31:11.879
comparative, it really takes it rears
its head, most notably in group gatherings

1858
02:31:11.559 --> 02:31:18.799
where you're introducing yourself, because now
you're getting the opportunity to compare. Well,

1859
02:31:20.159 --> 02:31:24.399
there's the danger in it, and
identity becomes the thing that, sadly

1860
02:31:26.079 --> 02:31:31.079
is behind so much of our trauma
and struggle. This is a separate chapter

1861
02:31:31.120 --> 02:31:33.399
of this book. I'll give you
an example of this. We would do

1862
02:31:33.399 --> 02:31:39.399
a lot of work now with officers
to Billy Graham Association in the summer.

1863
02:31:39.440 --> 02:31:41.760
So we're getting ready to lead in
two weeks here to do the first of

1864
02:31:41.879 --> 02:31:46.360
six weeks of counseling for marriage resiliency
for officers who have been involved in critical

1865
02:31:46.360 --> 02:31:50.399
incidents and now they're struggling in their
marriage. And sometimes they only men get

1866
02:31:50.399 --> 02:31:52.280
there before they get a divorce.
They get a divorce, they say,

1867
02:31:52.280 --> 02:31:54.440
we're not coming. I always say, just hold on, just try to

1868
02:31:54.440 --> 02:31:58.440
get through this trip first before you
make a decision that big. But this

1869
02:31:58.520 --> 02:32:03.639
is the the dire straits therein Okay. I discovered only three or four years

1870
02:32:03.680 --> 02:32:07.000
ago that the thing that is the
biggest struggle for officers is, especially if

1871
02:32:07.000 --> 02:32:11.319
you're injured is identity. It turns
out that if you were to look at

1872
02:32:11.399 --> 02:32:16.000
all of the trauma in your life, whatever it was, if it was

1873
02:32:16.040 --> 02:32:18.920
an injury, you suffered, a
divorce, a loss of a job,

1874
02:32:18.920 --> 02:32:22.680
a child being loved, whatever you
lost, whatever it was you suffered in

1875
02:32:22.760 --> 02:32:26.520
the trauma, you'll see that at
that same point you were suffering the trauma,

1876
02:32:26.600 --> 02:32:31.200
you had a relatively dramatic shift in
your identity. You thought of yourself

1877
02:32:31.239 --> 02:32:35.479
as married. Now you're divorced,
you see yourself differently. Identity is simply

1878
02:32:35.639 --> 02:32:39.120
how you continuously see yourself. The
self is at the issue, and every

1879
02:32:39.120 --> 02:32:43.760
time you suffer a trauma, you
suffer an identity shift. So it's interesting

1880
02:32:43.799 --> 02:32:48.680
that trauma typically causes an identity shift, but the opposite is also true.

1881
02:32:48.879 --> 02:32:54.079
An identity shift often causes trauma.
So if you wanted to protect yourself from

1882
02:32:54.120 --> 02:32:58.920
trauma, or minimize the kind of
trauma you'll experience, you need to put

1883
02:32:58.959 --> 02:33:03.040
your identity in something that can't be
shifted, stolen from you, taken from

1884
02:33:03.079 --> 02:33:05.639
you, bruised in some way,
damaged in some way. And of the

1885
02:33:05.680 --> 02:33:11.079
three ways that we form identity inside
out, outside in, or top side

1886
02:33:11.120 --> 02:33:15.639
down, only one of these three
ways is stable enough to protect you from

1887
02:33:15.639 --> 02:33:18.760
shifting. If you're forming your identity
outside in where you say it like,

1888
02:33:18.799 --> 02:33:22.600
this is how the ancients did it. You know, this thing outside of

1889
02:33:22.639 --> 02:33:26.000
me existed before I was ever born, and I'm just going to reach out

1890
02:33:26.079 --> 02:33:30.079
and grab that and form my identity. So it's a tribe. That's the

1891
02:33:30.120 --> 02:33:33.840
tribe I was raised in. It's
the name of my family name, it's

1892
02:33:35.079 --> 02:33:39.360
the profession of my family. We're
all cops, so that's like who I

1893
02:33:39.440 --> 02:33:43.719
am. Okay, that's outside in
identity, and I all of us do

1894
02:33:43.799 --> 02:33:46.360
some of that inside out based on
my desires, my preferences, even my

1895
02:33:46.399 --> 02:33:52.120
sexual preferences. I'm going to ask
you outside of me to identify me based

1896
02:33:52.120 --> 02:33:56.959
on my innate hearts, desires.
Okay, that's inside out identity. Both

1897
02:33:56.959 --> 02:34:01.120
of those are unstable because at some
point your job, you're going to retire,

1898
02:34:01.239 --> 02:34:05.479
than who are you then? Or
you're going to get injured and or

1899
02:34:05.520 --> 02:34:07.280
your desires are going to change because
your heart is fickle. It's just the

1900
02:34:07.360 --> 02:34:11.200
nature of it. Well, then
get ready to suffer some trauma on the

1901
02:34:11.239 --> 02:34:13.040
course you're like, now, if
you've formed your identity top side down,

1902
02:34:13.440 --> 02:34:20.520
where you put it in something that's
transcendent and unchanging. Then you're going to

1903
02:34:20.600 --> 02:34:22.000
have lows in your life, of
course, but they're going to be not

1904
02:34:22.120 --> 02:34:28.040
quite as deep because that the day
before you suffer the injury, you were

1905
02:34:28.079 --> 02:34:31.159
a child of You were in Christ. That day. The day after you

1906
02:34:31.200 --> 02:34:35.120
suffer the injury, you're still in
Christ. You're still the same. God

1907
02:34:35.159 --> 02:34:37.719
sees you the same way. Now, are you going to struggle because you're

1908
02:34:37.719 --> 02:34:41.639
an injury? Of course? But
who you are hasn't changed. And it

1909
02:34:41.719 --> 02:34:45.120
turns out that's the thing that we
struggle with the most, even in an

1910
02:34:45.159 --> 02:34:48.680
injury. It's not so much just
the pain of the injury, it's who

1911
02:34:48.680 --> 02:34:52.680
am I now? And that's why
we have to kind of really be serious

1912
02:34:52.719 --> 02:34:56.280
about our identity formation or we're going
to find ourselves. It's about human flourishing.

1913
02:34:56.440 --> 02:34:58.879
It really is. Yeah, And
of course you know it's about integ

1914
02:35:00.079 --> 02:35:03.040
and we often think about integrity is
how other people perceive us or something,

1915
02:35:03.040 --> 02:35:05.920
but it really is how you perceive
yourself. Do you have that integrity?

1916
02:35:07.319 --> 02:35:09.840
And you have that integrity if you're
thinking about that from top down? This

1917
02:35:09.920 --> 02:35:13.879
is so wise. I'm really enjoying
listening to you talk about this, and

1918
02:35:13.920 --> 02:35:18.079
I think about how unique things are
right now, as you begin talking about

1919
02:35:18.120 --> 02:35:22.440
that, you said, you know, this lure of being famous or a

1920
02:35:22.479 --> 02:35:26.639
lot of people following you, that
all comes as a social media stuff.

1921
02:35:26.879 --> 02:35:31.520
It truly is amazing to me to
see that and how that has transformed younger

1922
02:35:31.559 --> 02:35:35.559
people. And it is such a
transformational thing to think that there is some

1923
02:35:35.760 --> 02:35:39.440
value in having a bunch of people
that you don't know, you know,

1924
02:35:39.600 --> 02:35:43.559
following you and everything I'm tell you
focusing on that, it's amazing. Yeah,

1925
02:35:43.600 --> 02:35:46.520
that is something that we take for
granted, David. We take it

1926
02:35:46.520 --> 02:35:48.639
for granted because yes, we are
now in an age the information age has

1927
02:35:48.639 --> 02:35:54.319
become the identity age. Why because, so how do we start? If

1928
02:35:54.319 --> 02:35:56.920
you go on our social media platforms? What's the very first thing? We

1929
02:35:56.959 --> 02:35:58.959
have a moniker, like, what
is the public name? I'm going to

1930
02:36:00.360 --> 02:36:03.920
adopt that I want you to see
me. As second, we're going to

1931
02:36:03.920 --> 02:36:07.719
put a bio. Now we're going
to list a series of priorities, identity

1932
02:36:07.799 --> 02:36:13.639
priorities in the bio. So all
of this, then we're going to spend

1933
02:36:13.639 --> 02:36:20.399
the next how many years on social
media posting only in a way that amplifies

1934
02:36:20.559 --> 02:36:22.520
the way I already want you to
see me, that's right. So I'm

1935
02:36:22.520 --> 02:36:28.159
not going to reveal something of myself
that violates the identity I've already established.

1936
02:36:28.440 --> 02:36:33.239
And even if I'm not even thinking
about it, my posts always expose who

1937
02:36:33.280 --> 02:36:39.600
I am. And there were times
in generations prior where you didn't know who

1938
02:36:39.639 --> 02:36:43.840
people were, and the way you
know who they are now, having access

1939
02:36:43.920 --> 02:36:48.479
to everything we think gives us gives
people complete access to who we really are.

1940
02:36:50.559 --> 02:36:52.920
And I think we know that if
a republic figure, and so we're

1941
02:36:52.920 --> 02:36:56.680
careful. You know, I never
post anything about my family on social media.

1942
02:36:58.559 --> 02:37:01.000
I stay pretty focused in that area
of what it is I'm trying to

1943
02:37:01.000 --> 02:37:05.280
communicate related to the gospel, and
I just stay focused on that. Now,

1944
02:37:05.879 --> 02:37:09.559
that doesn't that gives people a view
of me that's not actually true.

1945
02:37:09.639 --> 02:37:13.959
It's the view that I'm crafting for
them, and we have to be aware

1946
02:37:13.959 --> 02:37:18.280
of that. But everyone does that. I mean, I see people I

1947
02:37:18.360 --> 02:37:24.840
follow who you think all they do
is eat getting But it's really that it's

1948
02:37:24.879 --> 02:37:30.680
not just that we are in some
way forming and sharing our identity. It's

1949
02:37:30.719 --> 02:37:35.760
that we are also revealing our idols, We're revealing our priorities, We're revealing

1950
02:37:35.760 --> 02:37:39.719
this stuff that we think is so
consequential, so important that we are willing

1951
02:37:39.879 --> 02:37:45.959
to proclaim it. That's one of
the ways you can you can see what

1952
02:37:46.000 --> 02:37:48.239
your idols are. Ask yourself,
like, look at your social media streams,

1953
02:37:48.639 --> 02:37:50.360
Well, I want to know what
your idols are. I can kind

1954
02:37:50.360 --> 02:37:54.319
of figure it out if you've got
a social media platform, right, that's

1955
02:37:54.399 --> 02:37:56.520
right. Yeah, we got a
full lifelog that is up there. Yeah.

1956
02:37:56.520 --> 02:38:00.319
You know, it's such a shallow
things we're talking about with social media.

1957
02:38:00.559 --> 02:38:03.120
It's there so that you know,
you can glorify yourself. Isn't it

1958
02:38:03.200 --> 02:38:09.799
interesting that in the last days people
become such lovers of self that that we've

1959
02:38:09.840 --> 02:38:13.280
never had those tools, that we've
never had the tools to magnify it exactly.

1960
02:38:15.040 --> 02:38:16.520
Yeah, And I think at some
point we are going to have We're

1961
02:38:16.520 --> 02:38:22.440
going to see that this is not
beneficial to our well being and we're going

1962
02:38:22.479 --> 02:38:26.760
to volunteerly pull back a little bit, or we're going to reach a point

1963
02:38:26.760 --> 02:38:28.959
in our lives where we're going to
burn out on it and we're going to

1964
02:38:28.959 --> 02:38:31.520
put so you might be more active
on social media at some point in your

1965
02:38:31.520 --> 02:38:35.200
life than you are later. But
I'm also trying to be very careful not

1966
02:38:35.239 --> 02:38:37.719
to be the old guy who's just
shaking his fist at the moon, right,

1967
02:38:37.799 --> 02:38:41.920
Because yeah, I use social media
as much as anybody else, but

1968
02:38:41.959 --> 02:38:46.120
I do want us to be very
practical about it. Like, look,

1969
02:38:46.280 --> 02:38:50.040
if we're trying to protect ourselves from
what causes us to do bad things,

1970
02:38:50.559 --> 02:38:54.319
we have to have a very honest
assessment of who we are. Are we

1971
02:38:54.360 --> 02:38:58.719
buying instant different chapter in the book, But are we by nature innocent,

1972
02:39:00.000 --> 02:39:03.159
born innocent, born virtuous, and
we are corrupted by our families, by

1973
02:39:03.200 --> 02:39:07.920
our environments, by the systems that
are in place, from government systems.

1974
02:39:07.440 --> 02:39:11.680
Is that who we are? Or
is the flip true that we are by

1975
02:39:11.840 --> 02:39:16.159
nature fallen and depraved enough, but
no matter what system you put us in,

1976
02:39:16.239 --> 02:39:20.319
we'll find a way to corrupt it, even religious systems. Which of

1977
02:39:20.319 --> 02:39:22.879
those two things is true? We
need to figure that out because if the

1978
02:39:22.959 --> 02:39:26.600
second is true, which has always
been the claim of the Christian worldview,

1979
02:39:26.680 --> 02:39:31.799
that we are by nature fallen,
well, now we can explain certain aspects

1980
02:39:31.879 --> 02:39:35.879
of what happens in culture, and
we can put our resources in the right

1981
02:39:35.920 --> 02:39:39.719
direction. Look, Luther put it
this way. We are so inwardly focused

1982
02:39:39.719 --> 02:39:43.879
that we can take even things that
are good and corrupt them and do them

1983
02:39:43.920 --> 02:39:50.120
for selfish You can even behave uber
morally, but you're doing it for selfish

1984
02:39:50.159 --> 02:39:54.319
reasons. Yea. Even our efforts
to do something godly are entirely depraved and

1985
02:39:54.440 --> 02:39:58.680
selfish, is what his claim is. This is what you find also in

1986
02:39:58.719 --> 02:40:01.719
the modern studies of about altruism,
like people are trying to figure out,

1987
02:40:01.760 --> 02:40:07.680
like, how could it be that
someone who could be a Pulitzer prize winner

1988
02:40:07.680 --> 02:40:11.399
can also kill his spouse or her
spouse? How could that be? How

1989
02:40:11.440 --> 02:40:13.920
could it be that there's somebody who, for the last thirty years has been

1990
02:40:13.920 --> 02:40:18.200
an exemplar in our community, the
deacon at the church, the doctor who

1991
02:40:18.200 --> 02:40:22.559
delivered my babies, Yet thirty years
ago he killed his wife. How could

1992
02:40:22.559 --> 02:40:26.680
that be? There's no way he
could be that duplicit? Is there?

1993
02:40:26.159 --> 02:40:30.840
This enigma of man has to be
sorted out. Now. What I see

1994
02:40:30.840 --> 02:40:33.600
in the studies is that, yes, we do have good examples of the

1995
02:40:33.719 --> 02:40:41.680
altruism of humans. Humans are capable
of great altruism. They are until it

1996
02:40:41.719 --> 02:40:46.799
doesn't serve them personally. So in
other words, I'm usually the studies show

1997
02:40:48.040 --> 02:40:52.120
that humans are usually pretty generous until
resources get tight. Then we start hoarding

1998
02:40:52.159 --> 02:40:54.959
toilet paper. Well, why are
we doing that? Because we are,

1999
02:40:56.079 --> 02:41:01.079
at our base nature self serving,
and even when we are doing good for

2000
02:41:01.319 --> 02:41:05.360
others, it serves us in some
way. That's why we're doing it.

2001
02:41:05.360 --> 02:41:07.639
We want to be seen a certain
way. Very seldom do you see people

2002
02:41:07.840 --> 02:41:11.399
who you know do good things who
aren't proclaiming to you that they do good

2003
02:41:11.520 --> 02:41:16.200
things. That's how you know they're
doing good things. Well, that's because

2004
02:41:16.239 --> 02:41:20.000
that proclamation is what they're really after. Yeah, okay, that's the truth.

2005
02:41:20.040 --> 02:41:22.920
If that's the case, then now
we can make a proper assessment of

2006
02:41:22.920 --> 02:41:26.040
our own condition. Number One,
it causes me to know that I am

2007
02:41:26.079 --> 02:41:30.239
not trustworthy, that I am no
different. Number One, It's leveled the

2008
02:41:30.280 --> 02:41:33.559
field for me. So I never
went into an interview once I had this

2009
02:41:33.639 --> 02:41:37.040
realization. I never went into an
interview and thought I was somehow better than

2010
02:41:37.040 --> 02:41:39.520
the guy I was interviewing. No, I knew that we're all the same

2011
02:41:39.559 --> 02:41:43.559
person. But for the grace of
God, my buttons haven't been pushed the

2012
02:41:43.559 --> 02:41:46.159
way that this poor guy's buttons have
been pushed. Now, look, this

2013
02:41:46.280 --> 02:41:52.680
is not to try to elevate people
who do bad behavior. I'm a justice

2014
02:41:52.680 --> 02:41:56.040
guy, so we're going to take
care of this. But I recognize that

2015
02:41:56.159 --> 02:42:01.159
I am just like him. We
are all just like him. When you

2016
02:42:01.239 --> 02:42:05.280
watch an episode of Dateline, I'm
hoping you're not sitting there and going,

2017
02:42:05.399 --> 02:42:09.559
yeah, what an idiot. I
hope you watch it with a certain amount

2018
02:42:09.559 --> 02:42:11.879
of introspection and you're thinking, Oh, that could easily have been me,

2019
02:42:13.719 --> 02:42:18.479
Because that is where humility begins.
It begins when you realize the proper role.

2020
02:42:18.760 --> 02:42:20.920
By the way, if you know
the fallen nature of humans, if

2021
02:42:20.920 --> 02:42:26.680
you know that's really true, well
that also changes the way you establish systems.

2022
02:42:26.200 --> 02:42:30.479
This is why our country was built
in a way that had the kinds

2023
02:42:30.479 --> 02:42:33.760
of checks and balances between the three
arms of the federal government. Why is

2024
02:42:33.760 --> 02:42:37.799
that there because the people who formed
it new you can't trust people, you

2025
02:42:37.840 --> 02:42:41.879
can't trust humans. We are,
by nature of fallen if we don't have

2026
02:42:41.920 --> 02:42:45.680
a way to check and balance each
other, if we don't have a community.

2027
02:42:45.719 --> 02:42:48.000
Basically, this is why the Christian
worldview has not lived in isolation,

2028
02:42:48.600 --> 02:42:52.680
because this is why marriages. So
this is another chapter of the book why

2029
02:42:52.760 --> 02:42:56.159
marriage is so important. Because I've
close enough to another human that I have

2030
02:42:56.239 --> 02:43:01.360
given her permission to tell me what
I'm wrong. I've given her permission to

2031
02:43:01.520 --> 02:43:07.120
help shape me toward what it is
God wants from me. And if you're

2032
02:43:07.120 --> 02:43:11.040
not in a relationship with somebody who
you know well enough to have given them

2033
02:43:11.079 --> 02:43:16.079
permission to tell you what an idiot
you are right now, and you don't

2034
02:43:16.120 --> 02:43:20.280
have true friends, and you don't
have the kind of relationship that will urge

2035
02:43:20.280 --> 02:43:24.879
you towards something better. So it
turns out that those are other things that

2036
02:43:24.000 --> 02:43:28.159
sociologists have discovered. There was a
chapter in here about true friendship. Well,

2037
02:43:28.200 --> 02:43:33.000
why because I've worked so many cases
where people were killed by somebody they

2038
02:43:33.000 --> 02:43:35.520
thought was their true friend. M
Well, so what is the nature of

2039
02:43:35.600 --> 02:43:41.719
quality relationships? We need to kind
of dig into that because it turns out

2040
02:43:41.760 --> 02:43:46.000
that there are some relationships that if
you're listening, that you're holding right now,

2041
02:43:46.760 --> 02:43:50.600
that are hurting you, that are
detrimental to your well being, and

2042
02:43:50.680 --> 02:43:54.000
that it might at some point,
by the way, likely if I'm the

2043
02:43:54.040 --> 02:43:56.239
first time I'm going to do,
if I'm working your homicide, is I'm

2044
02:43:56.280 --> 02:44:00.879
going to look back at all your
relationships because the chances are somebody you knew

2045
02:44:00.879 --> 02:44:05.680
really well who kills you. And
in the end, we have to ask

2046
02:44:05.680 --> 02:44:09.799
the question what am I doing wrong
that I'm hanging out with somebody who I

2047
02:44:09.879 --> 02:44:13.239
have not in some way vetted better? You know. So I think a

2048
02:44:13.280 --> 02:44:16.840
lot of this is important for us
as Christians to say, oh yea,

2049
02:44:16.280 --> 02:44:18.920
by the way, the Scripture has
an antidote for that. This Christian's got

2050
02:44:18.920 --> 02:44:22.200
great guidance for that. We just
haven't been paying attention in this generation.

2051
02:44:22.319 --> 02:44:26.959
It seems. Yeah, you have
a statement. Many crime stories are centered

2052
02:44:26.959 --> 02:44:31.000
around poor relationships, you know,
not having a relationship or having a relationship

2053
02:44:31.040 --> 02:44:33.760
that's going to I guess goed you
into that right some way. Yeah,

2054
02:44:33.760 --> 02:44:35.639
I mean this is why. So
if you're looking at what causes, and

2055
02:44:35.639 --> 02:44:39.120
we've got enough time, I think
you're to cover this. If you look

2056
02:44:39.159 --> 02:44:46.159
at what is causing, what really
describes relationships that will cause you to flourish.

2057
02:44:46.639 --> 02:44:50.760
It turns out that studies show this. One of the longest studies ever

2058
02:44:50.840 --> 02:44:56.159
done on human happiness, looks like
sixty year study that was done, and

2059
02:44:56.840 --> 02:45:00.760
it really revealed that is your relationships
there at the key the core of what

2060
02:45:00.959 --> 02:45:03.680
causes you to feel content, to
be happy, to have satisfied life.

2061
02:45:03.719 --> 02:45:07.639
Satisfying life. But it's not just
any kind of relationship. It turns out

2062
02:45:07.680 --> 02:45:11.680
it's the kind of deep relationships that
you cannot have with hundreds of people on

2063
02:45:11.719 --> 02:45:16.079
social media. So there's three things, three things that lead to the quality

2064
02:45:16.120 --> 02:45:20.680
of flourishing in your relationships. Here. They are, First, you need

2065
02:45:22.000 --> 02:45:26.360
deep committed relationships with people you've given
permission to be like a brother to say,

2066
02:45:26.360 --> 02:45:30.079
hey, you know what did your
off the rails here? And that

2067
02:45:30.120 --> 02:45:33.200
has to be with a small number
of people. You can't have those kinds

2068
02:45:33.239 --> 02:45:37.600
of deep committed relationships because they require
a certain amount of vulnerability and a certain

2069
02:45:37.600 --> 02:45:41.239
amount of time. So if you're
somebody who says, oh, I know

2070
02:45:41.360 --> 02:45:43.440
lots of people, I got lots
of friends, well they're probably not.

2071
02:45:43.520 --> 02:45:48.799
Then these kinds of friends you need
to have a small number of deeply committed

2072
02:45:48.840 --> 02:45:54.559
relationships with. Third piece, virtuous
people. Now here's the reason why.

2073
02:45:54.920 --> 02:45:58.959
I've met lots of folks who are
deeply connected to others who are not verstal

2074
02:46:00.200 --> 02:46:03.879
us, and they're they're they're basically
they're part of their crime family. And

2075
02:46:03.360 --> 02:46:09.000
so you can have deep connected relationships
that lead you astray because there's no virtue.

2076
02:46:09.319 --> 02:46:11.799
Now here's the tricky question is what
do we call virtuous who gets to

2077
02:46:11.840 --> 02:46:16.959
decide. So there's a code of
ethics amongst gangsters, is that what is

2078
02:46:18.040 --> 02:46:20.360
virtuous? What they say is because
they would say, Hey, if you

2079
02:46:20.399 --> 02:46:22.559
offend us, we're going to come
over there and kill you. That's just

2080
02:46:22.600 --> 02:46:24.760
the code. You knew better before
you did that. You should have known

2081
02:46:24.799 --> 02:46:28.399
that was coming, because you know
that's what you're going to get. And

2082
02:46:28.440 --> 02:46:33.239
so who just gets to decide what
is righteous, right or wrong virtuous?

2083
02:46:33.280 --> 02:46:37.319
Who gets to decide that is it
a group of people or is it a

2084
02:46:37.360 --> 02:46:41.760
single individual, or is there something
that transcends all of us that it overarches

2085
02:46:41.840 --> 02:46:48.479
all communities. So it turns out
that virtue is something that does require a

2086
02:46:48.639 --> 02:46:56.639
transcendent, unchanging, overarching virtue giver
the authority that we would actually say virtue

2087
02:46:56.719 --> 02:47:00.520
is grounded in because if we say
it's grounded in groups, and get ready

2088
02:47:00.559 --> 02:47:03.280
for all kinds of stupid and we're
already seeing this because what's virtuous to even

2089
02:47:03.319 --> 02:47:07.959
politically, what's virtuous to one side
or the other is very different. Then

2090
02:47:07.959 --> 02:47:13.760
we're arguing as if there's no transcendent, overarching virtue. So this is one

2091
02:47:13.760 --> 02:47:20.680
of those areas your relationships that does
benefit from a worldview in which you can

2092
02:47:20.719 --> 02:47:24.079
ground virtue objectively. There's a couple
of places where that happens in this book,

2093
02:47:24.120 --> 02:47:28.360
but this is one that's very important
because we can say you tell your

2094
02:47:28.440 --> 02:47:31.079
kids all the time, but don't
be handles with there's a bad people who

2095
02:47:31.120 --> 02:47:33.559
gets to decide they're bad. This
is now suddenly caught is going to have

2096
02:47:33.639 --> 02:47:37.840
to cause us to think about how
we ground good and bad? How do

2097
02:47:37.879 --> 02:47:41.079
we ground a righteousness? And if
you're going to ground it in just the

2098
02:47:41.120 --> 02:47:46.520
opinion of people, well that's every
case. I work at some point you

2099
02:47:46.600 --> 02:47:48.600
have to be wiser than that.
And that's why I think it's important for

2100
02:47:48.680 --> 02:47:54.000
us to adopt the one worldview grounded
a humility that provides you with an objective,

2101
02:47:54.079 --> 02:48:00.120
transcendent source for virtue. That is
such great wisdom. I'm really looking

2102
02:48:00.120 --> 02:48:03.040
forward reading this book, and of
course it's just come out, but it

2103
02:48:03.079 --> 02:48:05.879
is available now, right, Yes, it's available now, and I appreciate

2104
02:48:05.879 --> 02:48:09.639
you can learn more at the truthantruecrime
dot com The truthantruecrime dot com. And

2105
02:48:09.680 --> 02:48:13.280
because I'm so sensitive to the idea
that this should not be about us just

2106
02:48:13.360 --> 02:48:16.920
building a platform and trying to sell
something, what we do at that website

2107
02:48:16.959 --> 02:48:20.079
you'll see there's a ton of free
stuff that comes with the purchase. We

2108
02:48:20.159 --> 02:48:24.440
simply wanted to try to level that
a little bit right so that you don't

2109
02:48:24.479 --> 02:48:28.040
feel like this is about spending money
on a book. I really want to

2110
02:48:28.040 --> 02:48:31.079
advance the causes that are in the
book, and that's that's the challenge,

2111
02:48:31.120 --> 02:48:33.479
of course. Excellent, excellent book. Again, it is the Truth in

2112
02:48:35.040 --> 02:48:39.360
True Crime. That's I in nott
nd the Truth in Truecrime dot com.

2113
02:48:39.399 --> 02:48:43.479
And just before you go, I
know you got to go. This message

2114
02:48:43.719 --> 02:48:46.159
is from guard Goldsmith and Rock Finney
says thank you both. Cold Case Christianity

2115
02:48:46.319 --> 02:48:50.799
is excellent, and in the conversation
today, I'm reminded that the trap that

2116
02:48:50.840 --> 02:48:54.280
even catches people who try to spread
freedom messages or biblical messages, it seems

2117
02:48:54.319 --> 02:49:00.959
that one must beware of commoditizing oneself. Difficult to promote one more, even

2118
02:49:01.280 --> 02:49:07.120
freedom or biblical work without that promotion
becoming self promoting rather than praising God.

2119
02:49:07.239 --> 02:49:11.440
That's absolutely so good, so good. Yeah, great observation. He's written

2120
02:49:11.479 --> 02:49:15.239
me before he loved Cold Case Christianity, which he got the first time I

2121
02:49:15.239 --> 02:49:18.399
interviewed you. But I'm really looking
forward to the Truth and True Crime and

2122
02:49:18.440 --> 02:49:22.319
again there's a website, the Truth
and Truecrime dot Com. Thank you much,

2123
02:49:22.799 --> 02:49:26.559
Thank you so much for joining us, Sarah. Excellent stuff and such

2124
02:49:26.719 --> 02:49:31.680
wisdom. It truly is amazing.
Looking forward to reading it myself. Thank

2125
02:49:31.719 --> 02:49:33.040
you. Well, I'm indebted to
you. Thanks so much for having me.

2126
02:49:33.319 --> 02:49:35.399
Well, thank you, folks.
We're going to take a quick break

2127
02:49:35.440 --> 02:49:39.360
and we'll be right back. Stay
with us. Unlike most revolutions, whether

2128
02:49:39.360 --> 02:49:43.959
people rise against the real economic oppression, in our case, here in Boston,

2129
02:49:45.040 --> 02:49:50.799
we are fighting for purely an abstract
principle. It is, however,

2130
02:49:50.879 --> 02:49:56.680
not nearly so abstract as a young
gentleman supposes. The issue involved here is

2131
02:49:56.719 --> 02:50:05.079
one of monopoly. Today the British
government will monopolize the sale of tea in

2132
02:50:05.159 --> 02:51:01.120
our country. Tomorrow it will be
something else, liberty. It's your move.

2133
02:51:03.000 --> 02:51:07.959
You're listening to the David Knight Show. I thought it was always great

2134
02:51:07.280 --> 02:51:13.000
listening to Jay Warner Wallace. I
really enjoy that. And on Rocksan,

2135
02:51:13.079 --> 02:51:15.959
thank you very much, dougle Long. I appreciate the tip there as well.

2136
02:51:16.040 --> 02:51:20.280
When I asked him about you know
what was, I got him to

2137
02:51:20.319 --> 02:51:24.079
investigate. He actually started investigating is
because his wife became a Christian, and

2138
02:51:24.120 --> 02:51:30.000
I thought it was really funny.
This last weekend, my wife was talking

2139
02:51:30.040 --> 02:51:35.760
to somebody at church where we go, and her husband is a Christian and

2140
02:51:35.799 --> 02:51:41.319
a cop who attends that church and
a really great guy, and she said,

2141
02:51:43.280 --> 02:51:46.399
yeah, she became a Christian.
And she said he really didn't like

2142
02:51:46.440 --> 02:51:48.239
that. He even told her.
He says, yeah, I liked you

2143
02:51:48.280 --> 02:51:52.840
better before you were a Christian.
For the same reason that Jay Warner Wallace

2144
02:51:54.079 --> 02:51:58.000
started doing an investigation. He did
it, and she said after a few

2145
02:51:58.040 --> 02:52:03.079
months he came back to her and
he had read through the Bible twice at

2146
02:52:03.079 --> 02:52:09.040
that point, and he said,
I've become a Christian. He's kind of

2147
02:52:09.399 --> 02:52:15.079
surprised and stunned by that, but
yeah, it is interesting. You know,

2148
02:52:16.399 --> 02:52:20.079
God's word will accomplish the purpose for
which he sent it. And like

2149
02:52:20.120 --> 02:52:22.079
I was saying the other day,
you know, we look at these people's

2150
02:52:22.120 --> 02:52:26.120
reactions to artificial intelligence. Yeah,
there was a little bit of change there

2151
02:52:26.120 --> 02:52:31.520
by people were self identifying as Christians
and people who were, as they put

2152
02:52:31.559 --> 02:52:35.399
it, quote scripture engaged. They
defined that as reading the Bible two or

2153
02:52:35.440 --> 02:52:41.479
three times a year, and they
don't mean reading it through two or three

2154
02:52:41.520 --> 02:52:43.840
times from cover to cover. They
mean just picking it up and glancing at

2155
02:52:43.879 --> 02:52:46.959
it and reading it for a little
bit two or three times a year,

2156
02:52:46.879 --> 02:52:52.159
you know, outside of something that
they might hear at Easter and Christmas or

2157
02:52:52.159 --> 02:52:56.200
something like that. You have to
invest the time for to really have a

2158
02:52:56.280 --> 02:52:58.799
change. I have to actually read
it and then it will make a big

2159
02:53:00.079 --> 02:53:03.799
change in your life. And the
time that we got left, I want

2160
02:53:03.840 --> 02:53:07.639
to go back to some of the
climate stuff because there are some major things

2161
02:53:07.760 --> 02:53:11.200
that are coming along. But remember, as we always look at this,

2162
02:53:11.639 --> 02:53:15.280
there's two key things that carry over
into all these other areas. One of

2163
02:53:15.280 --> 02:53:22.799
them is to the great reset aspect, the depopulation aspect, taking away food,

2164
02:53:22.000 --> 02:53:28.719
fuel and many other things like that
to impoverish and enslave us. And

2165
02:53:28.760 --> 02:53:31.959
then also key and all of that
is taking away our ability to speak.

2166
02:53:33.000 --> 02:53:35.799
And out of the UK we get
yet another one of these stories. On

2167
02:53:37.440 --> 02:53:43.920
gb News, a Great Britain News, a British environmentalist was having a back

2168
02:53:43.959 --> 02:53:52.719
and forth a debate with Andrew Doyle
and the environmentalist was Jim Dale and he

2169
02:53:52.920 --> 02:53:58.159
was saying basically what RFK Junior said, Jail the deniers, you disagree with

2170
02:53:58.200 --> 02:54:03.040
my religion, climate change I'm going
to throw you in jail. According to

2171
02:54:03.079 --> 02:54:07.520
the environmentalist Jim Dale's, climate skeptics
would still be allowed to talk to family

2172
02:54:07.559 --> 02:54:13.159
and friends. Nobody, he said, would kick in the door, but

2173
02:54:13.479 --> 02:54:20.360
you would face criminal sanctions if they
quote, pollute people unquote by voicing their

2174
02:54:20.360 --> 02:54:24.719
opinion in public very much what they
want to do with religion, that type

2175
02:54:24.760 --> 02:54:28.280
of thing. And it always begins
that way, but eventually it ends with

2176
02:54:28.319 --> 02:54:31.159
them kicking the door in. They
don't stop at that. As for an

2177
02:54:31.200 --> 02:54:37.159
example of how climate denial could be
suppressed with criminal sanctions, Jim Dale suggested

2178
02:54:37.200 --> 02:54:41.719
it would be like racism that's been
driven from public discourse. Oh has it.

2179
02:54:43.760 --> 02:54:46.479
Britain has very harsh anti hate speech
laws, and we've seen those used

2180
02:54:46.600 --> 02:54:52.719
against Christians, haven't we In the
sense that, well, if you say

2181
02:54:52.760 --> 02:54:56.959
that certain activity is armful for the
individual, or that it's a sin,

2182
02:54:58.040 --> 02:55:03.840
even if you point out that God
has you're still alive. God has extended

2183
02:55:03.840 --> 02:55:07.280
grace to you to give you an
opportunity to change, and it's a free

2184
02:55:07.559 --> 02:55:11.959
grace that is there. But even
if you say that that's not good enough,

2185
02:55:11.040 --> 02:55:15.520
right, and so Andrew Doyle tried
to get Jim Dale to admit there's

2186
02:55:15.559 --> 02:55:20.760
a few issues with banning disagreement.
He's had example about how people who questioned

2187
02:55:20.879 --> 02:55:26.719
the narrative about COVID were vigorously suppressed. Now he talks about the COVID lab

2188
02:55:26.959 --> 02:55:31.520
thing, but again even more so
vaccines and death. Does it really matter

2189
02:55:31.559 --> 02:55:35.000
how this thing started? What was
the result of all this? And if

2190
02:55:35.000 --> 02:55:39.520
you can't talk about people who've been
injured by their solution, people have been

2191
02:55:39.600 --> 02:55:46.120
killed by their solutions, that is
a far more important thing than what basically

2192
02:55:46.200 --> 02:55:52.440
has become a side issue, a
red herring, and that is why did

2193
02:55:52.440 --> 02:55:56.120
this virus come? I don't see
any evidence of it having any effect,

2194
02:55:56.280 --> 02:55:58.879
and so it doesn't really matter to
me, And I think that part of

2195
02:55:58.879 --> 02:56:03.719
it is a distraction. But the
fact that council be deleted in that type

2196
02:56:03.719 --> 02:56:09.319
of the reality of climate change is
that the Earth is currently experiencing a very

2197
02:56:09.479 --> 02:56:13.000
cold period by geological standards, and
it is true, you know, when

2198
02:56:13.040 --> 02:56:18.479
we look at this and we look
at what is happening in the Antarctic,

2199
02:56:18.840 --> 02:56:24.319
there's evidence now that just a few
thousand years ago there are a lot of

2200
02:56:24.360 --> 02:56:26.120
mammal bones that they found. They
tried to say, well, maybe that

2201
02:56:26.200 --> 02:56:31.920
was human there's no evidence of any
human activity whatsoever, but animals that could

2202
02:56:31.920 --> 02:56:35.440
not survive in that weather. We're
roaming freely in the Antarctic at that time.

2203
02:56:37.520 --> 02:56:43.280
It's going to gradually the truth is
coming out, and those who are

2204
02:56:43.280 --> 02:56:48.879
seeking the truth are not trying to
shut down and to censor those who are

2205
02:56:48.920 --> 02:56:52.799
truly investigating it. But we need
to understand they're going to just jump to

2206
02:56:52.879 --> 02:56:58.000
these end game solutions. And when
we look at the push from California,

2207
02:56:58.559 --> 02:57:01.639
and we look at the push from
Water Washington, a push from Gavin Nuisance,

2208
02:57:01.639 --> 02:57:05.760
and the push from Joe Biden.
One of the things that they're pushing

2209
02:57:05.840 --> 02:57:11.319
right now is electric semi trucks.
And so you've got a lot of states

2210
02:57:11.360 --> 02:57:16.719
that are pushing back on this to
try to slow that down or to halt

2211
02:57:16.760 --> 02:57:20.559
it all together, because we know
what's going to happen. This is not

2212
02:57:20.760 --> 02:57:26.840
ready and it's going to cripple the
infrastructure, cripple the economy. So we

2213
02:57:26.920 --> 02:57:35.760
have several state attorneys general who are
now pushing back against these arbitrary rules that

2214
02:57:35.840 --> 02:57:39.040
have been pushed out by Biden's EPA. Again, it's the EPA that is

2215
02:57:39.079 --> 02:57:43.479
always trying to They want to kill
the power plants. They want to kill

2216
02:57:43.639 --> 02:57:48.600
diesel trucks, they want to kill
cars, they want to kill ranges and

2217
02:57:48.719 --> 02:57:50.639
heaters, gas ranges, gas heaters, any of that kind of stuff,

2218
02:57:50.639 --> 02:57:56.520
fireplaces, you name it, and
everything has to be electric. As they're

2219
02:57:56.559 --> 02:57:58.959
pulling down the power plant at the
same time, maybe what we should do

2220
02:58:00.760 --> 02:58:03.319
is, maybe we should keep the
power plants and the trucks and the cars,

2221
02:58:03.319 --> 02:58:05.680
and the ranges and the heaters and
the fireplaces. Maybe we could kill

2222
02:58:05.680 --> 02:58:09.559
the EPA instead, right, because
it's unconstitutional. It's another one of these

2223
02:58:09.639 --> 02:58:13.680
Nixon things that we're put in.
I think we need to get rid of

2224
02:58:13.680 --> 02:58:18.440
it. As they point out,
the EPA does not have This is a

2225
02:58:18.520 --> 02:58:24.639
letter from the Attorney's General. EPA
does not have, neither does California the

2226
02:58:24.719 --> 02:58:30.120
constitutional power to dictate these nationwide rules
to Americans. Of course, California is

2227
02:58:30.200 --> 02:58:33.799
using this alliance of several states and
said, well, whatever California does,

2228
02:58:33.879 --> 02:58:37.159
we're going to follow that. I
said, I'm proud to lead the efforts

2229
02:58:37.200 --> 02:58:39.920
to stop these unconstitutional attempts to remake
our economy. I'm grateful to our sister

2230
02:58:39.959 --> 02:58:46.360
states for joining our coalition. And
so this is a Nebraska Attorney General Mike

2231
02:58:46.520 --> 02:58:50.879
Hilgers, a Republican, he said, California and an unaccountable EPA trying to

2232
02:58:50.920 --> 02:58:58.440
transform our national trucking industry and our
supply chain infrastructure. This effort, coming

2233
02:58:58.479 --> 02:59:03.760
out a time of heightened inflame with
already strained electric grid, will devastate the

2234
02:59:03.799 --> 02:59:09.239
trucking and logistics industry. It'll raise
prices for customers, It'll impact untold numbers

2235
02:59:09.239 --> 02:59:16.120
of jobs across Nebraska and the country. Yeah, if you're going to dictate

2236
02:59:16.280 --> 02:59:20.719
something to somebody, you might want
to see if it works. But we've

2237
02:59:20.719 --> 02:59:28.959
had enough of these unworkable, unaffordable, unconstitutional rules. These people who decide

2238
02:59:28.000 --> 02:59:35.399
that they are going to rule us
by executive order, rule us by bureaucratic

2239
02:59:35.559 --> 02:59:41.079
fiat and dictates. Have you had
enough of the regulation with that representation thing?

2240
02:59:41.159 --> 02:59:43.959
I think I have. And if
we don't fight back against this,

2241
02:59:45.000 --> 02:59:46.600
and we don't push back against this, and at least we're now getting a

2242
02:59:46.639 --> 02:59:52.719
few state attorneys general that are doing
that. If we don't push back against

2243
02:59:52.760 --> 02:59:56.959
that, they truly will turn us
into poor slaves. That's the intention.

2244
02:59:58.239 --> 03:00:11.200
Thank you for joining us. Have
a good day. The David Night Show

2245
03:00:11.840 --> 03:00:20.079
is a critical thinking super spreader.
If you've been exposed to logic by listening

2246
03:00:20.120 --> 03:00:28.399
to the David Night Show. Please
do your part and try not to spread

2247
03:00:28.440 --> 03:00:35.639
it. Financial support, or simply
tell the others about the show causes this

2248
03:00:35.920 --> 03:00:43.879
dangerous information to spread. Father people
have to trust me, I mean trust

2249
03:00:43.239 --> 03:00:56.159
the science. Wear you mask,
take your vaccine, don't ask questions using

2250
03:00:56.319 --> 03:01:07.159
free speech to free minds. It's
the David Night Show. Mm hmm.
