00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:25.679
Using free speech to free minds.
You're listening to the David Knight Show.

2
00:00:56.359 --> 00:01:00.920
Welcome one and all to the David
Knight Show. I'm Gardner Goldsmith filling in

3
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:04.760
for David with a great tip of
the hat to David in his entire family

4
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:10.560
and to you thanks for believing in
freedom, one and all. We've got

5
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:46.519
a very busy day today on this
as we round off December. So many

6
00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:53.879
stories to discuss. Let's find out
what's on tap for today twelve, twenty

7
00:01:55.000 --> 00:02:02.920
seven and twenty three. Thanks for
joining me, everyone, and again,

8
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:07.719
thank you to David and everyone in
the Night family, and to you the

9
00:02:07.759 --> 00:02:13.680
audience and all the people out there
who've supported the David Knight's Show and the

10
00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:17.800
principles of individual liberty so well.
I thank you so much for joining me

11
00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:24.120
from today to noontime, from non
to noontime, today we'll be tripping across

12
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:29.319
the world. We'll be running across
the world and checking out major stories that

13
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:34.919
might have a bearing on your freedom, plus historical context that might allow us

14
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:39.280
to carry away some intellectual ammunition to
defend freedom. I'm really glad you're here,

15
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:43.879
one and all. You can join
us in Rockvin in Rumble and on

16
00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:47.479
Twitter and on d Live, and
I hope that you are having a very

17
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:53.639
good morning as we round off this
twenty twenty three year, and what a

18
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:55.400
year it has been. We'll take
a look at some of the things that

19
00:02:55.520 --> 00:03:00.960
are big on my list for the
year. On front tomorrow, Tony Arterburn

20
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:06.840
will be filling in Tony of course
of Wise Wolf Gold and Silver Exchange,

21
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:09.560
and I'm looking forward to hearing from
him. He and I have been chatting

22
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:14.599
with each other and he was going
to be able to take tomorrow to take

23
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:17.599
that chunk of the morning out,
so I'm really anticipating his wisdom. It's

24
00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:23.759
always great to hear Tony. His
knowledge of history and politics and philosophy is

25
00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:29.039
amazing, amazing, and it's incredible
to think that I can be in touch

26
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:32.319
with such people as David Knight,
as Tony Arterburn, and as many of

27
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:37.159
you in the chats as well at
Rockfinn and Unrubble. And by the way,

28
00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:39.960
if you are watching on David Knight's
Twitter feed, you can comment in

29
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:46.000
there as well, because now the
streaming system that I get to use also

30
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:52.319
allows me to see the comments as
we're streaming live on David Knight's X feed,

31
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:57.199
which of course is at Liberty Tarian, that's at Liberty Arrian. So

32
00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:00.840
welcome everyone to the program. Nice
to have you, long for the ride.

33
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:04.159
Let's see what's on tap for today, the David Knight Show for twelve,

34
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:09.520
twenty seven, twenty three. Yes, indeed, one and all.

35
00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:14.479
Let's see today we're gonna be discussing
an issue I did not get to discuss

36
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:17.399
yesterday because we just ran out of
time. And it's a big one and

37
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:25.839
I think it has maybe some echoes
of what we might have seen with the

38
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:29.879
Heller decision that might be hidden within
it. And as I mentioned here,

39
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:34.040
it's called Bruin versus gun rights.
This might be surprising to some conservatives.

40
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:39.519
After almost two years ago the Supreme
Court delivered its decision in the New York

41
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:44.319
Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruin. That's of the New York state government

42
00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:47.920
gun rights Supreme Court's decision, and
a lot of people thought it was a

43
00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:51.839
real positive. Well, they thought
the same thing about Heller, And perhaps

44
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:57.720
in the immediate it might seem as
if it's a positive. But just like

45
00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:03.600
the Heller decision almost what fifteen years
ago, not necessarily the case. We'll

46
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:10.720
talk about what Bruin hides in plain
sight, as the Illuminati expression might go.

47
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:18.040
We'll also discuss Biden meeting the Mexican
president and what that might entail,

48
00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:21.519
and a story that really hasn't gotten
a lot of attention out there. But

49
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:27.560
I have to say big thanks to
the MRCTV team and the higher ups there

50
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:31.399
allowing me to write a piece on
this particular sort of hiding in plain sight,

51
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:38.399
maybe not so much in sight issue
about the United States government its border

52
00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:44.600
policy, which is just amazing and
insulting almost every day. And then we

53
00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:47.759
are going to look at what the
United States government was proposing to do just

54
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:54.399
a couple of weeks ago inside Mexico. Yes, if you thought today was

55
00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:58.560
going to be a charge of caffeine
espresso, you are right. Then we're

56
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:02.319
going to talk about rand Paul's Festivus
list, and I have mixed feelings about

57
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:06.480
the Festivus List, but I have
to say again the MRCTV team, they're

58
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:10.759
so gracious to me. They let
me write a piece on this one with

59
00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:15.240
a lot of major quotes, and
I would love to get your ideas on

60
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:20.040
what you might add to the list
of government grievances, especially regarding what Ran

61
00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:26.000
Paul lists as waste, and that
is the key term everybody. Then we'll

62
00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:29.879
talk about a big new book and
I want to hold it up for you

63
00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:36.160
and show you what I have been
reading and what you can enjoy as well.

64
00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:41.199
If you go to the Libertarian Institute's
website and check out the great work

65
00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:46.839
of the mighty James Beauvard. This
is Lost Last Rights, the sort of

66
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:50.160
sequel to Lost Rights by mister Beauvard. James is a friend of mine,

67
00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:54.759
a hero of mine before I got
the opportunity to meet him, and then

68
00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:59.560
we became friends. And on the
back I think you will see what he

69
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:04.519
might be discussing inside, Yes,
police state tactics, police state approach,

70
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:11.319
and mentality of course, the loss
of rights and what might be coming in

71
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:15.160
the future in the United States.
It's amazing. It's voluminous, and I've

72
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:19.160
picked out three subjects that we might
be able to discuss starting at eleven o'clock.

73
00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:21.240
Who knows, we might not be
able to get to all of them.

74
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:25.519
But if you have items that you
want to discuss, put them in

75
00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:29.800
the chat at Rockfin and Rumble,
and don't forget everybody over at Rumble until

76
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:31.959
the end of the year, if
you want to contribute, I believe that

77
00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:38.360
Rumble is not taking a percentage of
those contributions. Everything will go to David

78
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:43.120
and the Family and David's show,
which of course is only listeners supported through

79
00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:49.680
donations through things like subscribe star and
through the Davidnightshow dot com store, the

80
00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:54.759
Davidnightshow dot com store. And by
the way, not as if I'm hawking

81
00:07:54.839 --> 00:08:00.560
anything, but since I was praising
the MRCTV folks yesterday, as tra Night

82
00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:05.120
knows yesterday, after I finished the
show yesterday, and thank you everyone for

83
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:09.600
all the kind thoughts about hosting the
show yesterday, I thought everything was really

84
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:13.959
fun. It was terrific to get
all the insights from people. And that

85
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:20.040
really is not a fatuous, blowing
smoke sort of statement, because I see

86
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:24.360
things from people who are covering stuff
that I am not getting, and it's

87
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:28.079
just fantastic or insights or thoughts or
philosophies the way people were brought up,

88
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:33.519
and it gives me windows of images
or ideas, logic that sort of stuff

89
00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:37.600
that I can take away with me. So again it's intellectual ammunition I really

90
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:43.919
appreciated. But yesterday talking about MRCTV, I got together in a meeting.

91
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:46.039
I told Travis, I said,
all Travis, I'm going to be away

92
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:48.000
for a little while. I have
to go to a meeting. And so

93
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:54.000
I got together with the director of
MRCTV, Eric Shiner, and Eric and

94
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:56.399
I sat down. We were hanging
out for quite a while, chatting,

95
00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:00.000
having a great time. And he's
just a really, really good guy.

96
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:03.440
His whole family is terrific, and
he's a big fan of the Monkeys.

97
00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:09.759
He's probably one of the top four
Monkeys fans with knowledge of the Monkeys.

98
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:13.399
Not the great apes, but the
band and the television show that sort of

99
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:20.840
was musicians and actors who ended up
forming a band themselves after they performed on

100
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:24.440
other people's music. And Mike Nesmuth
and Peter Torricardi had done their own music,

101
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:28.879
and of course Davy Jones was a
very well known Broadway actor and Mickey

102
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:35.320
Dolans actually was classically trained on guitar
and then he had to learn drums to

103
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:41.600
play. But he brought me this, so this might be a little something

104
00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:46.200
for today's theme, and I'll show
you if I can hold this up.

105
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:54.879
It is the Monkeys banana nut soda. It's I think it's recent. I

106
00:09:54.879 --> 00:10:00.879
don't think it's old, and in
line with many of the other interesting tie

107
00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:05.240
ins and promotional items that the Monkeys
did with things like rice Krispies and things

108
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:11.200
like that. They now have Monkeys
Banana Nuts, soda and one of the

109
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:16.120
greatest sets of music ever put out, The Great American Songbook. Really can

110
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:22.879
be heard within the Monkeys' music,
everything from pop songs to psychedelia with things

111
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:28.159
like Zor and Zam and Daily Nightly
and the soundtrack to their film Head.

112
00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:35.159
Working with people like Carol King and
Neil Diamond and Bobby Boyce and Tommy Hart

113
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:39.200
just amazing, amazing songwriters of course, Mike Nesmith and Peter Tork writing their

114
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:45.320
own, Mickey Dolan's writing some great
stuff, Davy Jones's performances on vocals,

115
00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:50.960
and so they were absolutely wonderful.
And I'm not going to open this one

116
00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:56.240
up, but he says it tastes
like banana nut bread but in liquid form,

117
00:10:56.279 --> 00:10:58.679
and it's not a beer, it's
just a soda. So I want

118
00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:03.679
to thank Eric Shiner the bad and
thank the whole team at MRCTV. That

119
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:07.960
is something else. And yes,
for a while I collected food that really

120
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:13.000
should not have been made like there
was a product from a Hostess called Grizzly

121
00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:20.399
Chomps, which was essentially their Hostess
cupcakes, but to save money they made

122
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:26.159
the product smaller and lighter by pretending
that there was a bear on the involved

123
00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:30.679
with the cupcake who had taken a
bite out of each of the cupcakes,

124
00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:33.080
and two cupcakes that came in the
plastic container, so it was called Grizzly

125
00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:39.679
Chomps. I also kept a container
of Australian vegemite. This is for you,

126
00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:43.440
Harps and anybody else who might be
watching from Australia or be a fan

127
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:48.840
of vegemite or marmite if you're over
in the UK. I was, I

128
00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:52.759
think personally, just to give you
a little insight into the what I'm thinking

129
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:56.519
about. When I got to visit
Australia, I didn't know what vegemite was,

130
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:01.679
and I had heard the Minute Works, you know. He just smiled

131
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:05.399
and gave me a vegeamite sandwich and
he said, I come from London,

132
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:11.120
you know, Okay, great song
great stuff, and a great band men

133
00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:16.120
at work, amazing musicianship, amazing
songwriting, you know. But when I

134
00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:20.240
got to Australia, I thought vegemite
was just like ground up vegetables, like

135
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:22.919
on peter bread with like maybe a
like a salad dressing oil type thing.

136
00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:26.840
I thought that was a vegemite sandwich. I didn't know what vegemite was.

137
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:31.279
So I got to Australia, and
you know, it's twenty six, twenty

138
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:35.960
seven hours of flying from the East
coast go to LA. We had to

139
00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:39.519
switch planes at Lax, so I
got to see La from the airport.

140
00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:43.679
Maybe it was safer that way,
I don't know. And then I flew

141
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:50.559
a flow out and some flights stop
in Hawaii, but others just go straight

142
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:54.879
over. We went to New Zealand
and I had a torn gluteal muscle.

143
00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:58.200
So the entire flight, everybody else
was sleeping. I didn't sleep a wink

144
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:01.720
on that plane. And I was
in such pain. I was in the

145
00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:07.840
middle of a row at a certain
point where I couldn't get water and I

146
00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:11.639
had I was in such pain.
I was dry swallowing ibuprofen tablets and not

147
00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:15.200
you know, a lot, but
you know, trying to keep pace.

148
00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:18.000
I'm like, oh, geez,
it was. It was rough as Rodney

149
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:22.919
danger Field was safe. I tell
you, it's rough being me. I

150
00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:26.919
gotta take ib give it to me
an iv oh my doctor, doctor Finnie

151
00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:31.639
boom butts eh. I love the
one from Rodney and he saysh I was

152
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:35.279
young. I got no respect.
Even as a kid. I told my

153
00:13:35.360 --> 00:13:37.840
dad, I said, Dad,
I'm tired of running around in circles.

154
00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:39.600
He said, shut up, or
I'll know your other foot to the floor.

155
00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:43.720
I'll tell you it's rough. My
wife, Oh, she's such a

156
00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:46.679
bad cook. We leave dental floss
out on the counter. The cockroaches hang

157
00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:52.720
themselves. Oh man. Anyway,
I used to do Rodney Datidfield depressions.

158
00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:56.840
One of my favorite comedians, and
he was great with other comedians too.

159
00:13:56.960 --> 00:14:01.000
In fact, I think it's Jim
Carrey credits Rodney really forgiving him a chance

160
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:05.000
taking him on to Jim Carrey was
living out of his car and Rodney saw

161
00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:07.519
him doing an open mic and said, hey, hey kid, why don't

162
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:09.440
you come on tour with me.
Ronnie was awesome. He was just a

163
00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:13.039
really really stand up dude. And
so and by the way, if you

164
00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:18.919
haven't seen Back to School with Rodney
Daviefield, you got to see that man.

165
00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:22.440
A lot of people look at Caddyshack
and stuff, but you got to

166
00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:26.799
see Back to school. That is
a phenomenal film. So we get to

167
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:31.519
Australia from New Zealand. We stop
in New Zealand. We get into New

168
00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:37.600
Zealand and it was the most glorious
thing. They had hot showers in the

169
00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:41.960
bathrooms at the New Zealand Auckland,
New Zealand Airport and you didn't have to

170
00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:45.720
get jabbed. I was like,
what huh, I felt like Scooby Doo.

171
00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:48.519
It was great. So I got
in the shower and the hot water

172
00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:52.559
on the you know, the tour
mustling. Oh, it was just and

173
00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:56.519
after being in the in the plane
and just feeling slimy, it was terrible,

174
00:14:56.559 --> 00:14:58.480
you know. So then they flew
us. They hopped us over from

175
00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:05.080
ou clond to Brisbane and I stayed
one day. It was a rotary group

176
00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:09.519
locally, they picked like young people
to switch over in a rotary group.

177
00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:13.240
I'm not in the rotary but they
just picked local people to do a cultural

178
00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:16.679
exchange in Australia and it was great. I was there for like six weeks.

179
00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:22.679
It was amazing. And so so
they flies into Brisbane and I'm all

180
00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:24.919
backwards. Everything's upside down. I'm
on the other side of the planet.

181
00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:28.480
I don't know what's going on in
Harps. I think you're in the rock

182
00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:31.720
fin Chat, so I think you
know what I'm talking about. You know,

183
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:35.919
I've mentioned this before on my Liberty
Conspiracy show, and I haven't even

184
00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:39.240
plugged the show yet. We'll do
that in a little while. Let me

185
00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:41.639
just spend some time with you,
everybody. So if you are on,

186
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:46.799
if you're in the Northern Hemisphere,
this will show you what it's like talking

187
00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:50.200
about normalcy bias if you're raised every
day with a particular sort of pattern,

188
00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:54.600
that is the sun coming up in
the east going down in the west.

189
00:15:54.759 --> 00:16:00.480
Okay, we're pretty much reliably using
abductive reasoning that's deductive and inductive and can

190
00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:03.080
kind of figure Okay, I've observed
this thing. I'm sort of using my

191
00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:07.200
mind now in inductive reasoning to say
I think I can therefore come up with

192
00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:11.840
a pretty good theory about what's going
to happen in the empirical world. So

193
00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:15.840
that's just for the philosophy students out
there. But so in the Northern Hemisphere,

194
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:18.679
if you're looking at the sun,
and by the way, the camera

195
00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:22.240
here is on the north sort of
north northwest, you are in the north

196
00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:26.000
northwest looking at me sort of south
southeast. So if you're looking at the

197
00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:30.440
sun, you're sort of looking south. So east is to your left and

198
00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:34.360
west is to your right. Okay
if you're in the northern hemisphere, but

199
00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:38.840
if you get in the southern hemisphere, it's switched. So everything. For

200
00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:42.080
the first I don't know how many
days I was there, I was completely

201
00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:47.519
confused. I would go running and
get lost. It was nuts, because

202
00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:52.080
if you're looking at the sun in
Australia, east is that way. You're

203
00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:56.840
looking north and west is that way, which is actually one of the errors

204
00:16:56.879 --> 00:17:00.360
that they made in those C.
S. Lewis films. They shot in

205
00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:03.640
many of the areas in New Zealand
where they shot Lord of the Rings,

206
00:17:04.119 --> 00:17:10.920
but they didn't so in the Narnia
books, the Ice Queen is coming down

207
00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:14.960
from the north, but they didn't
take into consideration that when they were facing

208
00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:21.480
north, the people in the Northern
Hemisphere were seeing shadows that didn't line up.

209
00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:25.279
They were seeing shadows that looked like
they were coming from the north,

210
00:17:25.319 --> 00:17:29.240
which didn't make any sense because they
literally were pointing north when they shot that

211
00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:33.039
film, and you can see the
shadows are coming from that away. What

212
00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:37.359
you would think would be the north. It's totally messed up. It's very

213
00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:41.319
strange. They did it right in
Lord of the Rings. And also,

214
00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:45.400
by the way, on Planet of
the Apes that that cliff with the you

215
00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:48.640
know what, that's in the sand
at the end of Planet of the Apes.

216
00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:53.640
That's supposed to be the eastern coast
facing that statue, so you're facing

217
00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:59.480
sort of north. The producers understood
that they had to shoot that at a

218
00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:02.799
certain time to make sure that it
looked like the sunlight was at the right

219
00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:07.000
angle for Charlton Heston's character to look
like it was the sun was coming up,

220
00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:10.599
when actually they shot it on the
west coast the sun was going down,

221
00:18:10.920 --> 00:18:12.119
but it looks like it's on the
East coast, as it should.

222
00:18:12.319 --> 00:18:17.240
So just a few things from my
film background working in television at Star Trek.

223
00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:22.799
But it's very interesting because the folks
hosting me gave me some vegemite,

224
00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:25.799
and I didn't know what it was. I was sitting there at the kitchen

225
00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:29.640
table and they had toast in the
little toast things and they had these little

226
00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:33.480
packets like you get at the ihops
and stuff, the little plastic packets they

227
00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:37.359
had, you know, blueberry jam
and strawberry jam and stuff like that,

228
00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:41.119
and they had one that said Craft
on it, and you know, the

229
00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:45.599
craft label, and it was this
inside of it. I looked at the

230
00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:49.720
bottom. It was like this viscous
brown stuff and I'm like, what's that

231
00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:52.400
And he goes, oh that and
I was like yeah, and he goes,

232
00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:56.480
oh, that's vegemie and I was
like, that's vegemite. He said

233
00:18:56.480 --> 00:19:00.920
oh yeah. I was like,
well, you know, what do you

234
00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:03.480
do? He goes, oh,
yeah. We put it on a toast

235
00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:07.000
and I was like all right,
So I said okay, So I opened

236
00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:08.680
it up. He goes, ah, yeah, yeah, but it's very

237
00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:14.160
strong. It's very strong, very
strong flavor. And I'm like okay.

238
00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:15.720
So he goes, yeah, put
got put it on real thin. So

239
00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:18.240
I put it on very thin and
he goes, ah, nah, now

240
00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:22.119
as much too thick. I was
like, oh, he goes you'll say,

241
00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:27.000
So I scrape it off. There's
like a micro millimeters worth, like

242
00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:32.119
a nanometer on there, and I
put it in my mouth and literally,

243
00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:36.799
other than maybe the name Nancy Pelosi, it is the dirtiest foulst thing I've

244
00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:41.319
ever ever had on my tongue.
It was the worst tasting stuff. And

245
00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:45.680
I'm sorry Harps or anybody in Australia, but I said what I was.

246
00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:49.400
It was one of those like whoa, whoah, you know, but I

247
00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:52.880
didn't want to do it in front
of the hosts. And I was like

248
00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:56.799
oh, and he's smiling at me
because he knew, and he goes,

249
00:19:56.839 --> 00:20:00.440
I told you it was strong,
and I was like oh. I was

250
00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:03.599
like, what is that stuff?
He goes, well, you know when

251
00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:08.279
you make be and I'm like yeah, he goes, well, we scraped

252
00:20:08.279 --> 00:20:14.799
the inside of the barrels as a
scum and we scripe it and that's vegemite.

253
00:20:14.839 --> 00:20:15.559
I was like, well, he
goes, yeah, we scripe it

254
00:20:15.599 --> 00:20:19.400
and we eat it. Like what
Wait a minute, Wait a minute.

255
00:20:19.960 --> 00:20:22.759
I thought this was some unique thing
to Australia. I was like, you

256
00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:26.240
know, we could do that in
the United States, we could scrape the

257
00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:30.160
interior of the barrels and put it
in our mouths. We don't do that.

258
00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:36.799
So I realized what's actually going on
if you ever go to Australia.

259
00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:41.720
It's a giant national joke against all
tourists who come to Australia. They don't

260
00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:45.680
actually eat vegemite, right, I
mean, who in their right mind would

261
00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:48.880
eat vegemite. They gotta be insane. They got to be like you know,

262
00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:52.559
people who would lock down their their
citizens and not let them move from

263
00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:59.440
say Victoria to Queensland. You know, they would mandate travel passes and arrest

264
00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:03.480
people for not wearing masks. They
would never eat that stuff. It's a

265
00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:06.519
giant national joke, this said.
There's a ah, we got another one.

266
00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:12.119
I got him to eat that crap. It's the same thing in England

267
00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:15.559
with marmite. So there you go, everybody, and harps, I know

268
00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:21.400
you are in Rockfinchat. I thank
you for being there. Brian de McCartney,

269
00:21:21.440 --> 00:21:23.599
thank you for being there. Karen
Carpenter, thank you so much.

270
00:21:23.960 --> 00:21:29.279
Angus, Angus Mustang, Brandon Bennett. Boy, what a crowd. John

271
00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:33.000
henry Man, I love it.
I love it, love it, love

272
00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:36.519
it, and welcome to the program. One and all. When you watch,

273
00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:41.279
please remember that you can go to
the Davidnightshow dot com and see what's

274
00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:47.880
happening over there, and of course
when you do, please consider going to

275
00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:51.799
the store and finding out what's what
over there. Well check in on rumble

276
00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:53.880
chat in a little while, but
right now, let's find out what's on

277
00:21:53.960 --> 00:22:00.079
tap for today on the program,
of course Bruin versus Gun. So let's

278
00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:06.519
start off. I think we need
a little something special and for that,

279
00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:10.799
I'm going to turn to one of
my favorites. Everybody with a man who

280
00:22:10.839 --> 00:22:15.839
played basketball for the Boston Celtics.
He played professional baseball. He was of

281
00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:27.640
course six foot five. He was
the riflemen gun rights one and all Oh

282
00:22:27.880 --> 00:22:44.440
Riflemen second one, Chuck Conners.
I gotta say the best thing. The

283
00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:48.640
best thing about that is when Chuck
Connors looks up for the second time.

284
00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:52.240
That's the best part. See you
see Chuck Connors looking at the screen,

285
00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:57.000
right, he looks at the screen
and then says the rifleman, and then

286
00:22:57.039 --> 00:23:00.559
he looks up like he's heard the
announcer like hey, what are you doing.

287
00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:04.079
He gives you that nasty look like
whoa, that's Chuck Connors. You

288
00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:10.440
don't mess with Chuck Connors. And
then after they say starring Chuck Connors,

289
00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:15.200
then he looks back up again,
so they say sorry, Chuck Connors.

290
00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:18.160
And then he looks back up again
and he's like, hey, you're talking

291
00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:22.960
to me, and then he kind
of gives you a little bit of a

292
00:23:23.119 --> 00:23:30.079
smile. It turns into a little
something kind of friendly right there. He

293
00:23:30.119 --> 00:23:33.880
starts to smile, his bottom eye
eyelids starts to go up, and you're

294
00:23:33.880 --> 00:23:37.400
like, he's a good guy.
I don't have to worry about him trying

295
00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:41.319
to wipe me out with his rifle. What a great show. Shot with

296
00:23:41.400 --> 00:23:45.920
some of the best film noir cinematographers. They actually brought many of them over

297
00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:51.640
from Germany. If you watch The
Riflemen, it is really one of the

298
00:23:51.680 --> 00:23:56.559
most beautifully shot television shows. I
mentioned Route sixty six yesterday, it's one

299
00:23:56.599 --> 00:24:00.400
of the most and they intentionally shot
it in black and white. They knew

300
00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:03.720
that it was going to look really
good for lighting and so on. They

301
00:24:03.799 --> 00:24:07.960
really wanted it to look terrific.
Did a lot of wonderful exterior shots.

302
00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:12.960
And boy Chuck Connors with his guest
star that the boy who played Mark became

303
00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:18.599
a pop star and he just passed
away. He was elderly when he passed

304
00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:22.279
away, had some dementia problems.
The young man who became a pop star

305
00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:27.079
who played Mark, But he always
credited Chuck Connors for being so kind to

306
00:24:27.160 --> 00:24:32.160
him and mentoring him for years,
giving him great advice so that he could

307
00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:36.519
avoid the pitfalls of stardom. Chuck
Connors, what a guy. And also

308
00:24:36.559 --> 00:24:40.920
if you get to see Soiling Green, he does a great job in Soiling

309
00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:44.359
Green. So let's find out if
the government is doing a great job for

310
00:24:44.519 --> 00:24:47.279
us or not. Oh, that's
right, it doesn't matter. They're going

311
00:24:47.359 --> 00:24:49.759
to take our money, ha ha. And everybody has different views on what

312
00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:52.680
the government should do. So maybe
some people think it's doing a good job

313
00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:56.920
for them and others don't. Well, when it comes to rights, the

314
00:24:56.240 --> 00:25:02.640
incipient mindset behind government is that they
can break your rights supposedly to protect your

315
00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:07.680
rights. Yes, that's the anarchist
voluntarist in me. So please check out

316
00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:11.519
Liberty Conspiracy at six o'clock Monday through
Friday. If you'd like to dig in

317
00:25:11.559 --> 00:25:15.240
more with the voluntarist philosophy, look
at history, look at economics some more.

318
00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:19.079
After the David Knight Show today,
after our three hours together, maybe

319
00:25:19.079 --> 00:25:22.000
you want some more, head over
to Liberty Conspiracy. We're on Rockvian,

320
00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:26.279
on Rumble and on my Twitter feed
which is at guard Goldsmith. I should

321
00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:30.440
have mentioned that earlier, so you'll
see here. This is the MRCTV website

322
00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:37.319
and this is the latest one from
yours truly. It was released yesterday thanks

323
00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:44.759
to the great team in MRCTV,
and it says Federal District Judge rules Massachusetts

324
00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:51.799
gun band constitutional, seriously. And
this is why I've talked on my show

325
00:25:51.839 --> 00:25:56.839
with Toby Leary, who owns Cape
Gunworks and Hyenas mass sadly very close to

326
00:25:56.880 --> 00:26:04.640
the Kennedys and the living living quarters
around southern Massachusetts and on into other places

327
00:26:04.640 --> 00:26:08.160
like Rhode Island for some of the
Kennedys. But I got to say this

328
00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:12.680
one reveals, This peels the onion
on some of the problems that I saw

329
00:26:12.839 --> 00:26:18.079
coming and you might have seen coming. And I think also Toby Leary,

330
00:26:18.119 --> 00:26:21.640
who is one of the co owners
of Cape Gunworks, who fights very very

331
00:26:21.640 --> 00:26:26.200
hard against Massachusetts encroachments into gun rights, the right to the natural right to

332
00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:30.799
keep the bear arms for self defense. This is what many of us saw

333
00:26:30.880 --> 00:26:33.519
coming. Let me enlarge this for
you so you can see it on the

334
00:26:33.559 --> 00:26:37.079
screen. And just in case you
want to get a you know, a

335
00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:41.559
fine keepsake photograph of me in the
corner, you know. But here we

336
00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:48.000
go, Federal District Judge rules Massachusetts
gun band constitutional seriously. Now I want

337
00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:52.559
to hit this one first and then
we're going to go into Joe Biden's breaking

338
00:26:52.599 --> 00:26:56.680
news story, the breaking news of
Joe Biden meeting with the Mexican president.

339
00:26:56.720 --> 00:27:00.440
But I think this one might have
a little bit more weight to kill with

340
00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:03.200
you. The other one is just
something that is sort of a leap issue,

341
00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:07.960
a leap news story that lets us
dive into other issues that are connected

342
00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:11.000
to this, which has to do
with the border. So the actual meeting

343
00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:15.720
of Biden and the President of Mexico
might not have any immediate effect on your

344
00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:19.599
life. It might be a publicity
thing. Maybe they'll come up with policies,

345
00:27:19.599 --> 00:27:23.359
but it does open the door,
or open the window. The open

346
00:27:23.400 --> 00:27:29.559
window Assaki might have written wonderful little
short story that he wrote. It opens

347
00:27:29.559 --> 00:27:34.039
a window into discussing the immigration issue
and what is constitutional, what is not,

348
00:27:34.319 --> 00:27:37.400
what is ethical, what is not. But let's hit this gun issue

349
00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:42.359
right now. As I noted,
many saw this coming, and I noted

350
00:27:42.359 --> 00:27:48.400
the Supreme Court ruling in twenty twenty
two, many people who were proponents and

351
00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:52.519
defenders of the right to keep bear
arms, they have been issuing warnings as

352
00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:56.000
I often have, about the bruined
decision that came down. It was the

353
00:27:56.119 --> 00:28:02.240
new York Rifle and Pistol Association decision
in twenty two, and the key facet

354
00:28:02.279 --> 00:28:06.960
of it, everybody, was this
two tiered so called scrutiny that the Supreme

355
00:28:07.000 --> 00:28:12.440
Court invented as their so called lipmus
test to see if state infringements, which

356
00:28:12.519 --> 00:28:17.920
ought to be enough to tell you
no, no, thank you on the

357
00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:22.200
right to keep in bear arms,
actually are infringements. Well, as I

358
00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:30.279
mentioned, this second tier has become
the slippery slope of government inserting itself in

359
00:28:30.599 --> 00:28:33.680
the right to keep in bear arms
and infringing on it. It's this second

360
00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:40.039
tier, I said recently. The
second tier standard just invited a lower court

361
00:28:40.359 --> 00:28:45.680
to say that it is perfectly fine
for Massachusetts politicians to ban guns. So

362
00:28:47.200 --> 00:28:52.319
I don't really understand how the second
tier comports with the first tier. Well,

363
00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:56.960
let's get into it. Nicky Brown
reports for CNN. Quote, a

364
00:28:56.000 --> 00:29:03.359
federal judge ruled a Massachusetts ban on
assault weapons. So called love that term

365
00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:07.079
it's undefined and amorphous is it's whatever
they think is scary, so they can

366
00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:11.880
gin up fear in the public,
and somehow government has to protect you against

367
00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:17.720
these things that assault weapons. This
Massachusetts ban on assault weapons is somehow consistent

368
00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:23.640
with a recent landmark Supreme Court decision
that established firearms so called regulations, which

369
00:29:23.680 --> 00:29:29.599
is a euphemism for government threats against
you engaging in peaceful activity. That these

370
00:29:29.920 --> 00:29:37.599
established firearms regulations must be consistent with
the nation's so called historical tradition. So

371
00:29:37.079 --> 00:29:44.000
again, that is the second tier
of analysis on the so called Bruin standard.

372
00:29:44.240 --> 00:29:48.839
Okay, so I said. This
focuses our attention on the two levels

373
00:29:48.880 --> 00:29:53.799
of so called scrutiny provided as the
new precedent in Bruin. First, the

374
00:29:53.839 --> 00:30:00.960
Supreme Court in twenty twenty two ruled
that gun grab statutes and anything associated with

375
00:30:00.039 --> 00:30:06.920
the right to keep and bear arms
otherwise known as licensing waiting periods, you

376
00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:11.480
might have red flag so called statutes
in there, that they must be studied

377
00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:18.039
with regard to the strict wording of
the Second Amendment. Okay, that ought

378
00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:21.640
to be enough. Right, what
else do you need? You got the

379
00:30:21.680 --> 00:30:25.240
second Amendment. It's the strict wording. Hello, I think we're done here,

380
00:30:25.359 --> 00:30:29.039
Thank you, Let's move on.
No, they always have to leave

381
00:30:29.079 --> 00:30:32.319
a caveat, just like they did
in the two thousand and seven two thousand

382
00:30:32.319 --> 00:30:38.039
and eight Heller decision with Dick Heller. Second, the Scotis in twenty twenty

383
00:30:38.079 --> 00:30:47.039
two in Bruin ruled on this second
level that these right rights infringing statutes must

384
00:30:47.039 --> 00:30:55.160
be checked according to their resemblance to
any early US gun rights infringing move by

385
00:30:55.200 --> 00:30:57.839
a government. So let me get
this straight. They're saying, First,

386
00:30:57.920 --> 00:31:03.799
you've got to check the rights in
infringing statutes according to something that says shall

387
00:31:03.799 --> 00:31:06.880
not be infringed, which means you
should be done for the day. You

388
00:31:06.920 --> 00:31:10.000
can have lunch, dinner, whatever, go home, bye bye. Right,

389
00:31:11.000 --> 00:31:14.160
But then they say, oh yeah, and by the way, you

390
00:31:14.279 --> 00:31:18.759
also have to check it according to
other infringements of rights that might have come

391
00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:22.480
in American history, and see if
there's a president that might have been said.

392
00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:26.039
So what they're saying is, if
you can find other areas where the

393
00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:30.279
Second Amendment has been infringed and say
that those are part of American history,

394
00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:34.799
which if they have been have been
committed against people, they are part of

395
00:31:34.799 --> 00:31:41.359
American history, then they say,
if those are analogous to the contemporary statute,

396
00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:45.359
then that's fine. What yeah,
I said. Second, the Supreme

397
00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:49.359
Court ruled that these rights infringing statutes, which ought to be a non starter,

398
00:31:49.559 --> 00:31:56.319
right there must be checked according to
their resemblance to any early US gun

399
00:31:56.400 --> 00:32:01.920
rights infringing move again a non starter
by a government local, state or federal

400
00:32:02.440 --> 00:32:09.039
that can be viewed as analogous to
the contemporary statute. And here is what

401
00:32:09.359 --> 00:32:15.720
Judge F. Dennis Sala the foth
I guess the other three just weren't good

402
00:32:15.799 --> 00:32:19.799
enough. They had to have the
sequel. That's district Chief Judge F.

403
00:32:19.920 --> 00:32:27.160
Dennis Saila the fourth said, quote, the relevant history affirms the principle that

404
00:32:27.279 --> 00:32:30.920
in seventeen ninety one, as now, and listen to this language, as

405
00:32:31.039 --> 00:32:39.880
now, there was a tradition of
regulating dangerous and unusual weapons. Well,

406
00:32:39.920 --> 00:32:45.039
that's quite loaded and left up to
interpretation and subject to viewing, isn't it

407
00:32:45.559 --> 00:32:52.079
dangerous and unusual weapons? Says the
judge, specifically those that are not reasonably

408
00:32:52.680 --> 00:32:57.880
There's another term that they leave open
for government interpretation, because the government determines

409
00:32:57.960 --> 00:33:02.400
what's reasonable. As a former New
Mpshire Justice of the New Hampshire Supreme Court

410
00:33:02.440 --> 00:33:05.920
told me, he later went to
Congress and goes, oh, yeah,

411
00:33:05.920 --> 00:33:09.039
we insert reasonable into statutes, so
it gives the government lots a room to

412
00:33:09.119 --> 00:33:15.599
interpret what's reasonable, Like oh,
isn't that nice? I feel so safe

413
00:33:15.680 --> 00:33:21.759
now, thank you, bye bye. So he says reasonably necessary that are

414
00:33:21.839 --> 00:33:25.279
those that are not reasonably necessary for
self defense. So if the aggressors of

415
00:33:25.319 --> 00:33:30.400
government determined that your item for self
defense against the government is not, in

416
00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:36.039
their eyes reasonable to have, well
then they can set their government goons on

417
00:33:36.079 --> 00:33:38.720
you, and they'll have their tax
funded guns to go after you. So

418
00:33:39.440 --> 00:33:44.920
that's what he said on Toy's Day. So I said, let's employ some

419
00:33:45.079 --> 00:33:50.279
logic, history, and ethics to
pierce this smoke screen of socialism. Notice

420
00:33:50.279 --> 00:33:53.480
what the judge claimed that in seventeen
ninety one, at the time of the

421
00:33:53.519 --> 00:33:59.920
adoption of the Bill of Rights,
there was a quote tradition of blocking ownership

422
00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:07.159
of unusual so called unusual firearms.
This exposes first the illogic of the man

423
00:34:07.320 --> 00:34:14.480
to claim that any firearm that isn't
widely owned is to be distinguished from others.

424
00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:19.760
A few Americans own personal canons,
and Paul Revere used to make them

425
00:34:20.199 --> 00:34:24.960
he with his son. Second,
this shows us that the Bruin second level

426
00:34:25.039 --> 00:34:34.039
standard of is their historical precedent for
an analog to this contemporary kind of rights

427
00:34:34.199 --> 00:34:39.960
infringement has nothing to do with rights
or justice. It's an opening for government

428
00:34:40.039 --> 00:34:47.320
to point their tax funded weapons at
us while simultaneously pointing to their rationales previous

429
00:34:47.360 --> 00:34:54.239
instances of other government officials targeting people
in their own eras. I mean,

430
00:34:54.280 --> 00:34:59.280
how much more fatuous could you get? I said. Third, this fallacious

431
00:34:59.400 --> 00:35:05.039
language from the judge reminds us that
the second level of bruin has nothing to

432
00:35:05.119 --> 00:35:09.039
do with the strict wording of the
Second Amendment or the first level of bruin.

433
00:35:09.480 --> 00:35:14.760
I said, That's all that should
matter to a person operating under the

434
00:35:14.800 --> 00:35:22.119
Constitution. If the Second Amendment strictly
asserts, nay mandates, that no body

435
00:35:22.159 --> 00:35:25.159
of government can infringe on the right
to keep and bear arms, then it

436
00:35:25.199 --> 00:35:31.079
doesn't matter who in the Supreme Court
or what federal judge creates an exception for

437
00:35:31.280 --> 00:35:37.760
one or two or any number of
weapons that they don't like. The second

438
00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:45.199
level of bruin actually contradicts the first
level, which requires that strict that particular

439
00:35:45.280 --> 00:35:51.079
strict reading of shall not be infringed. So they contradicted themselves in their own

440
00:35:51.559 --> 00:35:53.800
Supreme Court ruling. They said,
yeah, you gotta have a strict reading.

441
00:35:53.840 --> 00:35:57.719
That's our first level, and our
second level is well don't have a

442
00:35:57.719 --> 00:36:02.840
strict trading It's absurd, it's so
stupid. I said to cap that off,

443
00:36:04.079 --> 00:36:07.800
one might go beyond the constitution.
And again, thank you MRCTV for

444
00:36:07.840 --> 00:36:10.960
publishing this. I said to cap
that off, one might go beyond the

445
00:36:12.079 --> 00:36:16.280
constitution. Again, I'm a libertarian, Christian anarchist anarchy, not being the

446
00:36:16.320 --> 00:36:22.039
socialist nineteen twenties adoption of the term
anarchy, which didn't apply to socialists because

447
00:36:22.039 --> 00:36:25.960
they were collective as they favored government
for their purposes as the left wingers always

448
00:36:27.000 --> 00:36:30.360
have. You know, many of
the piece nexs of the sixties didn't want

449
00:36:30.400 --> 00:36:32.199
to dismantle the state. They just
wanted to take over the state, and

450
00:36:32.199 --> 00:36:36.639
of course engaged in their own war
mongering. Just ask Bill Clinton, asked

451
00:36:36.639 --> 00:36:44.199
the Somalis, ask the Iraqis,
ask ask the people in Serbia. So

452
00:36:45.039 --> 00:36:49.000
I said, if we go beyond
the constitution, and we actually see that

453
00:36:49.079 --> 00:36:52.599
the constitution was signed by people who
never got our permission to sign it for

454
00:36:52.760 --> 00:36:55.000
us, They just signed it.
And generationally people are like, oh,

455
00:36:55.039 --> 00:36:58.559
yeah, it applies to you.
Really, when did I give my permission

456
00:36:58.559 --> 00:37:01.159
for that? Oh? I never
did, So you can't say that right.

457
00:37:01.559 --> 00:37:06.159
Well, the only people to whom
the Constitution applies are the politicians who

458
00:37:06.159 --> 00:37:09.039
swear ohs to abide by it.
But again by swearing it out to abide

459
00:37:09.079 --> 00:37:15.360
by it, gives them no more
so called authority to dominate our lives in

460
00:37:15.400 --> 00:37:19.000
any way because they've signed up to
a document. We never signed We never

461
00:37:19.039 --> 00:37:22.360
agreed to it. So they've signed
on to something that says, yeah,

462
00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:25.559
we can play with other people's lives
people who never agreed to this. To

463
00:37:25.599 --> 00:37:30.239
me, that's called aggression. That's
a mafia system. That's one of the

464
00:37:30.280 --> 00:37:35.039
reasons why I'm a voluntarist anarchist.
I'm in favor of what's called agorism,

465
00:37:35.639 --> 00:37:39.000
voluntary associations, and what many people
might see as a black market, free

466
00:37:39.079 --> 00:37:45.719
market decisions apart from government meddling with
people and pushing them around. So this

467
00:37:45.760 --> 00:37:47.960
gets us to this extra point,
even if they were to amend the Constitution,

468
00:37:49.079 --> 00:37:52.320
folks I said, to cap that
off, one might go beyond the

469
00:37:52.360 --> 00:37:59.480
Constitution and wonder on an ethical moral
level, how a group of political players

470
00:37:59.760 --> 00:38:06.679
can claim the power to so called
make rules, including so called constitutional rules,

471
00:38:06.719 --> 00:38:12.079
even if they amended the Constitution.
For others about how, when,

472
00:38:13.039 --> 00:38:16.519
where, and of what kind of
firearm? They may own. I said,

473
00:38:16.599 --> 00:38:20.840
of course, one can wonder,
but they in the halls of government

474
00:38:20.880 --> 00:38:24.199
claim authority over us. And when
you hear people say, well, there's

475
00:38:24.199 --> 00:38:28.960
no constitutional authority for that, I
hope you'll keep in mind that distinction.

476
00:38:29.280 --> 00:38:34.639
The Constitution has no authority over anybody
who has not voluntarily signed onto it.

477
00:38:34.920 --> 00:38:37.880
And by saying well, you haven't
fled to another place, you're still here,

478
00:38:37.960 --> 00:38:45.360
So that tells me I'm claiming I'm
setting the parameters by you not fleeing

479
00:38:45.719 --> 00:38:51.599
government aggression under even the constitution,
that means you accept it. Since when

480
00:38:51.639 --> 00:38:53.880
has that been the deal? And
you're walking down the street and a robber

481
00:38:53.960 --> 00:38:57.400
puts a gun to you and he
says, well, you're not running away,

482
00:38:57.480 --> 00:39:00.119
so you must accept me. Give
me your wallet. And this isn't

483
00:39:00.199 --> 00:39:06.400
robbery? Now, how is that
at all morally acceptable and logical? It's

484
00:39:06.440 --> 00:39:08.559
not, I said, of course
one can wonder, But they in the

485
00:39:08.559 --> 00:39:13.800
halls of government claim so called authority
over us. So we are relegated to

486
00:39:13.840 --> 00:39:20.880
the posts of constant fighters, constantly
vigilant to beware the machinations of political predators.

487
00:39:21.280 --> 00:39:24.320
In the case of Massachusetts, this
judge is entirely on the side of

488
00:39:24.360 --> 00:39:29.880
government. What a surprise. In
fact, Judge Sailor took it upon himself

489
00:39:30.159 --> 00:39:36.559
to decide that the amorphous, undefined
term assault weapons so called, can apply

490
00:39:36.679 --> 00:39:42.719
to what the state decides. And
he also thinks these evil weapons aren't suitable

491
00:39:42.960 --> 00:39:47.599
for self defense. He thinks,
so, so you must comply with what

492
00:39:47.920 --> 00:39:52.360
he thinks. Get it? You
have no control over your own tastes and

493
00:39:52.440 --> 00:40:00.320
interest quote. The assault weapons,
as he says, prohibited by the Massachusetts

494
00:40:00.519 --> 00:40:07.679
are not suitable for ordinary again interpreted
by him self defense purposes, and pose

495
00:40:08.000 --> 00:40:15.280
substantial dangers far beyond those inherent in
the design of ordinary firearms, the judge

496
00:40:15.320 --> 00:40:21.880
wrote, end quote. Remember that
I said, Remember that when buying a

497
00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:27.760
rifle to protect your home from intruders, when buying a rifle to protect your

498
00:40:27.880 --> 00:40:31.840
farm or woodland abode, or when
you get a rifle to protect yourself against

499
00:40:31.920 --> 00:40:39.280
potential government attackers. Ah. But
government exists only by attacking and taking the

500
00:40:39.320 --> 00:40:44.840
fruits of our labor. How dare
we, like the people at Lexington and

501
00:40:44.920 --> 00:40:50.800
conquered in Massachusetts? How dare we
as they did it in April of seventeen

502
00:40:50.960 --> 00:40:55.519
seventy five, want to own our
weapons to defend our rights? Against government

503
00:40:55.719 --> 00:41:01.559
goons like this judge who might attack
us and our progeny with words that would

504
00:41:01.599 --> 00:41:07.320
trigger the government to go after us, or those government agents with the tax

505
00:41:07.360 --> 00:41:13.880
funded guns. Massachusetts was the home
of the shot heard around the world,

506
00:41:14.719 --> 00:41:21.920
operative impertinent words being shot and heard. Those ought to be enough for the

507
00:41:22.039 --> 00:41:27.599
judged sailors of America to see why
the Second Amendment was written. Perhaps their

508
00:41:27.719 --> 00:41:31.920
death to the echoes of fights for
liberty. Perhaps they, like even the

509
00:41:31.960 --> 00:41:37.599
majority on the Supreme Court, are
blind to the meaning of rights and the

510
00:41:37.639 --> 00:41:44.840
wording of the Second Amendment. But
we are not. We see and understand

511
00:41:44.880 --> 00:41:50.880
that the fight for our rights against
conniving tyrants never ends. So I hope

512
00:41:50.920 --> 00:41:54.760
that was aoka for you. Let
me know your thoughts in Rockfinchat and Rumble

513
00:41:54.880 --> 00:42:05.039
Chat and I have to say Audi
is in the chat modern retro radio creator.

514
00:42:05.360 --> 00:42:08.960
Check it out. He's chatting with
Jason says, I mean, if

515
00:42:08.960 --> 00:42:13.079
we're going to have a bill of
rights, how about the ones who take

516
00:42:13.119 --> 00:42:16.960
an oath to abide by it?
Yes, at least we can ask those

517
00:42:17.000 --> 00:42:21.119
people to be honest about their o's. But of course they use it as

518
00:42:21.119 --> 00:42:23.000
a smoke screen. They use it
as a Beard. So let's look at

519
00:42:23.360 --> 00:42:30.639
how one senator is now trying to
find her way into further invading gun rights.

520
00:42:30.719 --> 00:42:34.559
Of course, she's from Maine.
She's Senator Susan Collins, a supposed

521
00:42:34.679 --> 00:42:40.000
Republican and as you can see here
from wmtw in Portland, where by the

522
00:42:40.039 --> 00:42:44.400
way, don't forget in Augusta,
Maine, they were going to have their

523
00:42:44.480 --> 00:42:50.719
meeting just before Christmas to decide on
mandating the evs on people, and they

524
00:42:50.719 --> 00:42:55.360
couldn't have the meeting because they didn't
have power after a storm. That's great

525
00:42:55.440 --> 00:43:00.280
logic on their part. So here
it is. Now this has to do

526
00:43:00.360 --> 00:43:07.920
with the military and this mass shooting
recently in Lewiston from a person who was

527
00:43:07.039 --> 00:43:14.960
in the US military. So here
we go in response to the Lewiston mass

528
00:43:14.960 --> 00:43:19.119
shootings. Of course, it's always
in response in response. Well, of

529
00:43:19.159 --> 00:43:22.280
course, he picked soft targets.
A bar where they served alcohol, they

530
00:43:22.280 --> 00:43:28.880
didn't allow firearms. Bowling alley didn't
allow firearms, had the signs on the

531
00:43:28.960 --> 00:43:34.679
door. And as John Lott has
noted, the presence of guns in areas

532
00:43:35.320 --> 00:43:40.639
tends to get criminals who are interested
in violent criminal acts against people to go

533
00:43:40.760 --> 00:43:45.320
elsewhere. We'll talk about that again
in a little while, just the sheer

534
00:43:45.599 --> 00:43:47.760
consequentialist argument, the logic of it, we don't even have to talk about

535
00:43:47.840 --> 00:43:52.639
the morality of it. But this
is a very mixed bag because the morality

536
00:43:52.679 --> 00:43:57.760
of it is blurred because this is
about members of the military, and it

537
00:43:57.800 --> 00:44:02.000
gets us into this idea of what
is or is not acceptable for a mandate

538
00:44:02.559 --> 00:44:08.079
or investigations of people, or constrictions
on people who enter the military voluntarily.

539
00:44:08.800 --> 00:44:13.760
It's a very interesting story, and
Susan Collins is really trying to find an

540
00:44:13.800 --> 00:44:15.920
opening here. So if you're in
the military, if you're, of course,

541
00:44:15.960 --> 00:44:19.920
as Jason Barker is, just out
of the military, let me know

542
00:44:19.960 --> 00:44:22.719
your thoughts. If you know people
in the military, let me know your

543
00:44:22.760 --> 00:44:24.199
thoughts. Or of course, if
you're paying for the military, Oh yeah,

544
00:44:24.239 --> 00:44:28.079
that's all of you. Ah,
let me know your thoughts. In

545
00:44:28.119 --> 00:44:31.920
response to the Lewiston mass shootings,
main Senator Susan Collins, aren't you glad

546
00:44:31.960 --> 00:44:37.679
you pay her salary? Is working
on a bill that would require branches of

547
00:44:37.719 --> 00:44:44.920
the military to utilize state level weapons
restriction laws when appropriate. Okay, so

548
00:44:45.239 --> 00:44:51.880
those state level weapons restriction laws are
otherwise known as infringements on the right to

549
00:44:51.960 --> 00:44:54.000
keep in bear arms. The right
to keep in bear arms shall not be

550
00:44:54.119 --> 00:45:02.079
infringed. It seems pretty plain.
But what happens when you're in the military.

551
00:45:02.239 --> 00:45:07.199
Do you still read the Second Amendment
the same way? That gets us

552
00:45:07.199 --> 00:45:12.559
to start thinking about what is or
is not the militia and how warped the

553
00:45:12.599 --> 00:45:16.639
perception is today of what is the
army the army of the so called the

554
00:45:16.719 --> 00:45:22.199
United States, because in the original
colonial period, in the founding period,

555
00:45:22.360 --> 00:45:25.559
there was no army of the United
States. There was an army of the

556
00:45:25.599 --> 00:45:31.199
Potomac. There were various branches of
the military that fought against the British once

557
00:45:31.280 --> 00:45:37.480
they pushed out the Articles of Confederation
and they brought in the usurpation of the

558
00:45:37.519 --> 00:45:40.559
Constitution contrary to the very rules under
which they had agreed to the Articles of

559
00:45:40.599 --> 00:45:45.880
Confederation. After they threatened an embargo
on Rhode Island to get them to vote

560
00:45:46.320 --> 00:45:52.519
for the Constitution to adopt it.
Bill of Rights was brought in because people

561
00:45:52.719 --> 00:45:57.719
like James Madison were worried, and
they established the Second Amendment, which was

562
00:45:57.760 --> 00:46:04.079
a double layer, mentioning again again
that certain rights they wanted to make sure

563
00:46:04.239 --> 00:46:08.519
don't forget, do not infringe on
these things, and then they said anything

564
00:46:08.559 --> 00:46:13.840
that is not an enumerated power for
the federal government is left to the states.

565
00:46:14.719 --> 00:46:17.719
There was no enumeration in there for
a standing army. The idea of

566
00:46:17.760 --> 00:46:22.000
the standing army was restricted to it
is us, we are the militia,

567
00:46:22.480 --> 00:46:27.639
and only when there was a declaration
of war could the militia be called up

568
00:46:27.960 --> 00:46:30.920
or as I mentioned in the constitution. And we'll talk about this in a

569
00:46:30.920 --> 00:46:35.800
minute when we get into the immigration
issue with Biden going to Mexico. Only

570
00:46:35.840 --> 00:46:40.599
if a governor or a state legislature
asked for militia aid under the president's help,

571
00:46:42.199 --> 00:46:46.239
could militia members from other states got
under the president, go into another

572
00:46:46.280 --> 00:46:52.199
state to suppress an insurrection, rebellion, or hard violence that would threaten their

573
00:46:52.199 --> 00:46:58.119
constitutional way of governance inside that state. So the second Amendment should apply at

574
00:46:58.159 --> 00:47:01.039
all times. There's no standing army. It's only and as I mentioned,

575
00:47:01.039 --> 00:47:04.960
you can look at one of my
mrc TV articles who look at the California

576
00:47:05.000 --> 00:47:07.280
Constitution, you'll see it noted that
there is no standing army. It's the

577
00:47:07.320 --> 00:47:12.400
militia. They're under the governor's control
up to that point until they might be

578
00:47:12.440 --> 00:47:15.079
called out on a declaration of war. And even then you don't have to

579
00:47:15.119 --> 00:47:19.519
go. They can't just pull you
in, you know, they can't.

580
00:47:19.719 --> 00:47:24.079
They can't create some force that's going
to pull you in. And and you

581
00:47:24.119 --> 00:47:28.320
know, cause cause you to be
drafted into it. You have to decide

582
00:47:28.320 --> 00:47:34.480
if you're going to go. And
so compulsory military is not part of the

583
00:47:34.519 --> 00:47:37.760
original concept, and neither is standing
army. And of course there is the

584
00:47:37.960 --> 00:47:43.880
amendment in the constitution. Third Amendment
prohibits forcing us to pay for the housing,

585
00:47:44.119 --> 00:47:46.800
forcing us to house soldiers. And
I would look at paying for the

586
00:47:46.840 --> 00:47:52.840
housing of soldiers as basically the same
thing as housing soldiers. So if I

587
00:47:52.840 --> 00:47:58.400
have to pay for standing bases outside
the United States, that I think is

588
00:47:58.519 --> 00:48:01.559
housing a soldier on my I shouldn't
have to do that to me. It's

589
00:48:01.599 --> 00:48:06.400
all coercion anyway, it's all morality, but it's all immorality. But on

590
00:48:06.440 --> 00:48:10.519
the constitution level, I think that
that can be stressed. So Senator Collins,

591
00:48:10.559 --> 00:48:13.440
I think is off base. Here. Let me give you more of

592
00:48:13.440 --> 00:48:16.519
the story. According to a statement
from a spokesman for Susan Collins, it

593
00:48:16.559 --> 00:48:23.440
appears military units Lewiston mass shooter Robert
card was associated with to be very very

594
00:48:23.480 --> 00:48:30.320
poorly written with which he was associated
did not act to use New York's Red

595
00:48:30.360 --> 00:48:34.400
Flag Law or mains Red Flag Law. Okay, so the first thing we

596
00:48:34.480 --> 00:48:37.360
have to ask is are those red
flag laws constitutional? No, they are

597
00:48:37.400 --> 00:48:40.719
not. They abridge the Second Amendment. They infringe on that, and they

598
00:48:40.719 --> 00:48:46.519
also infringe on the fourth, fifth, sixth, and eighth Amendments because they

599
00:48:46.559 --> 00:48:52.360
are taking property from someone without just
compensation. They are also infringing on due

600
00:48:52.400 --> 00:48:58.320
process. They're infringing on the right
to a speedy trial. They're infringing on

601
00:48:58.440 --> 00:49:01.280
the right to a trial in front
of a jury of your peers rather than

602
00:49:01.360 --> 00:49:06.960
kangaroo courts. They're just taking property. They are punishing people without a trial,

603
00:49:07.119 --> 00:49:10.079
which is prohibited by the Eighth Amendment
of the Bill of Rights. So

604
00:49:10.159 --> 00:49:15.440
they are all massively unconstitutional. New
York's Red Flag Law also has seen the

605
00:49:15.760 --> 00:49:22.800
killing of one innocent man in the
first year of its establishment. Main's Yellow

606
00:49:22.840 --> 00:49:28.000
Flag Law is also unconstitutional. But
can it be applied to members of the

607
00:49:28.039 --> 00:49:34.400
military in some other way under military
commands if there is a federal law statute

608
00:49:34.440 --> 00:49:38.159
that has passed to adjust the way
the military operates. Well, if you

609
00:49:38.199 --> 00:49:42.559
can't have the state statutes. What
if they try to say, we're going

610
00:49:42.599 --> 00:49:47.159
to write our own federal statute that
will be a red flag statute for anybody

611
00:49:47.159 --> 00:49:51.239
in the military. That's not the
approach she's taking, but I want to

612
00:49:51.239 --> 00:49:55.559
introduce that to you as a thought
something in the thought process. Despite numerous

613
00:49:55.599 --> 00:50:01.159
warning signs that led to mister Carr's
hospitalization and psychiatric hospital in New York and

614
00:50:01.199 --> 00:50:06.679
the Army's decision to prevent him from
having access to weapons, ammunition, and

615
00:50:06.719 --> 00:50:12.280
participation in live fire exercises, said
Annie Clark, communications director for Collins.

616
00:50:12.719 --> 00:50:15.360
Well, where's the rest of that
all? They didn't put the rest of

617
00:50:15.440 --> 00:50:20.239
that in the report? Again poorly
written, but despite that, of course

618
00:50:20.840 --> 00:50:24.639
he was able to get his hands
on weapons. Well, he was a

619
00:50:25.000 --> 00:50:32.039
sniper trainer. He trained for sniping, and it says Cards Army unit from

620
00:50:32.119 --> 00:50:37.440
Saco train cadets at West Point in
New York for several years and July Card

621
00:50:37.559 --> 00:50:44.000
was taken to a psychiatric hospital after
behaving erratically. Well, of course,

622
00:50:44.440 --> 00:50:51.320
Susan Collins has an idea, she
says. Her office says work on the

623
00:50:51.320 --> 00:50:55.000
bill is expected to resume in January, and they want to make sure that

624
00:50:55.039 --> 00:51:02.360
the state red flag laws apply.
A person who helped draft Mainz Yellow Flag

625
00:51:02.440 --> 00:51:13.800
Loss says Collins' bill would close a
so called safety gap. So if it

626
00:51:13.840 --> 00:51:17.239
doesn't apply to members of the military, now why does it not apply?

627
00:51:22.639 --> 00:51:34.000
Isn't that interesting? I think that
Susan Collins is off base branches of the

628
00:51:34.039 --> 00:51:45.079
military utilizing the state statutes. The
state statutes being unconstitutional would negate the military

629
00:51:45.119 --> 00:51:46.679
being able to use them. But
again I pose the question to you,

630
00:51:47.079 --> 00:51:54.400
what if the military were to say
you can't own a firearm, Well,

631
00:51:54.440 --> 00:52:00.440
if you're not currently called up by
the military, how can they you?

632
00:52:00.679 --> 00:52:08.719
Again, it's that question of does
the Second Amendment universally apply? And if

633
00:52:08.760 --> 00:52:14.800
we look at the contemporary view of
the military, the concept of the army,

634
00:52:14.920 --> 00:52:20.960
Navy, air Force, marines is
really not the original concept For many

635
00:52:21.039 --> 00:52:25.000
members of the founding era, Yes
they could form the navy, yes they

636
00:52:25.000 --> 00:52:30.239
could have ships, but the idea
of a standing army was not part of

637
00:52:30.280 --> 00:52:38.440
their lexicon. And so if you
are going to be calling people onto a

638
00:52:38.519 --> 00:52:45.480
ship and they're in the militia,
then I can't see how even if they

639
00:52:45.480 --> 00:52:51.280
are called to service, the government
can infringe on their personal right to keep

640
00:52:51.320 --> 00:53:01.880
in bear arms now. Folks in
Rockfinnchat are mentioning. Brian de McCartney says,

641
00:53:01.880 --> 00:53:06.800
spot on guard. Thank you,
Brian deb thank you two to two

642
00:53:06.920 --> 00:53:15.440
viewers in one and Brian de McCartney
says that guy was a total mind controlled

643
00:53:15.480 --> 00:53:22.920
operative. He definitely had some major
problems. That is for darn sure.

644
00:53:27.559 --> 00:53:30.400
Want to check out rumble chat and
see what you have to say in rumble

645
00:53:30.480 --> 00:53:37.719
chat as well, and thank you
all for watching. Matthew Ronson says on

646
00:53:37.880 --> 00:53:49.840
Rumble a weapon in every pot,
Thank you very much. Dragon Dragon Grieta

647
00:53:51.440 --> 00:53:55.119
on Rumble says, with militias you
can remove criminal politicians in your state.

648
00:53:58.480 --> 00:54:01.559
And Matthew Ronson, good point.
V thank you. I want to make

649
00:54:01.559 --> 00:54:06.800
sure I mention this if I dropped
that the Navy is the only service called

650
00:54:07.199 --> 00:54:17.559
called to be standing maintained constitutionally.
And how nine thousand Watson again one of

651
00:54:17.559 --> 00:54:25.880
the most catchy and memorable nicknames on
any chat that I see that amazing reference

652
00:54:25.920 --> 00:54:35.679
to the evil of IBM during World
War Two Illuminati shooter card and here we

653
00:54:35.760 --> 00:54:38.199
go a great statement, and I
definitely want to mention this, especially because

654
00:54:38.239 --> 00:54:46.000
David Knight often we'll mention this really
really overlooked egregious attack on the right to

655
00:54:46.039 --> 00:54:51.679
keep them bear arms and attack on
the separation of powers, the assumptive power,

656
00:54:52.199 --> 00:54:55.880
the power assumption of Trump. Stealth
Patriot unrumble everybody. If you're just

657
00:54:55.960 --> 00:54:59.920
watching on Twitter, I want to
give this to you here in the David

658
00:55:00.079 --> 00:55:05.440
Nights Show, Stealth Patriot says,
it's sickening to see how many people make

659
00:55:05.519 --> 00:55:12.599
excuses for Trump's bump stock band.
Absolutely, he should have been impeached instantly

660
00:55:12.639 --> 00:55:16.039
for that. That's a criminal threat
against you. If it was Biden who

661
00:55:16.079 --> 00:55:22.119
did that, they would have grabbed
the pitchforks and torches. So true,

662
00:55:22.400 --> 00:55:25.440
and how thank you. You are
welcome very much, Risha M. Thanks

663
00:55:25.440 --> 00:55:30.159
for being there. Risha M says, good morning, Guard and DK family.

664
00:55:30.480 --> 00:55:35.239
Absolutely right, and I have to
say it's really a heartwarming thing to

665
00:55:35.280 --> 00:55:37.679
be here with you and share these
things with you. So let's roll some

666
00:55:37.719 --> 00:55:44.400
more. But while I have the
opportunity, let's take this opportunity to again

667
00:55:44.519 --> 00:55:49.559
remind you of the great work and
don't mean that with a pun intended for

668
00:55:49.599 --> 00:55:53.119
the Illuminati, the great work of
David Knight and what he does every day

669
00:55:53.480 --> 00:55:57.880
and what you do in the audience, And so with that, I want

670
00:55:57.880 --> 00:56:01.960
to offer you the opportunity to check
out a little something that I actually put

671
00:56:02.000 --> 00:56:09.119
together from my show, A little
interlude from the Little Drummer Boy from a

672
00:56:09.159 --> 00:57:08.400
little Liberty conspiracy show that I think
you might enjoy. Hello, Hello,

673
00:57:08.639 --> 00:58:07.960
Hello. I like that donkey.
He's a okay, good donkey. And

674
00:58:08.360 --> 00:58:14.800
of course I put that together just
recording a little something from a music box.

675
00:58:14.840 --> 00:58:17.079
I bought a bunch of music boxes
for the family, different songs like

676
00:58:17.119 --> 00:58:22.639
when Irish Eyes Are Smiling and Frosty
the Snowman and things like that, and

677
00:58:22.360 --> 00:58:27.000
gave them to my family members,
little wind up ones. I love those

678
00:58:27.039 --> 00:58:34.679
things. And I can't come close
to the amazing powers of David Knight and

679
00:58:34.760 --> 00:58:37.920
his musical compositions. His ability to
play music, to compose music, is

680
00:58:38.119 --> 00:58:44.199
knowledge of classical music and all sorts
of wonderful stuff on contemporary music as well.

681
00:58:44.679 --> 00:58:51.079
And so I want to give you
the season's Greetings from New York as

682
00:58:51.119 --> 00:58:54.519
a way to sort of spoof myself, to remember, folks, I can't

683
00:58:54.519 --> 00:58:59.840
come close, but I hope I'm
providing you with good news and information filling

684
00:58:59.840 --> 00:59:01.400
in for David Knight today, And
of course if you want to see my

685
00:59:01.440 --> 00:59:06.920
show, It's Liberty Conspiracy Monday through
Friday at six o'clock on Rockfin and Rumble.

686
00:59:07.039 --> 00:59:08.519
And I didn't intend to make this
like a little plug for my show,

687
00:59:08.559 --> 00:59:12.679
but I should do that actually.
And if you want to find my

688
00:59:12.800 --> 00:59:16.440
substack, you can go to the
substack and that is Gardner Goldsmith substack.

689
00:59:16.480 --> 00:59:20.440
And if you're just listening in your
car, it's gar d ne R.

690
00:59:20.559 --> 00:59:24.400
Goldsmith like Gardner Mass and yeah,
you can check that out. And on

691
00:59:24.480 --> 00:59:30.719
Sundays, the Sunday News Assembly has
at least twenty stories that pertain to your

692
00:59:30.719 --> 00:59:35.599
liberty. And I try to put
in contextual information to draw out those lessons

693
00:59:35.599 --> 00:59:39.880
of liberty. Philosophy has history,
economics, and I don't look at it

694
00:59:39.920 --> 00:59:44.159
as one of my classes or anything
like that, or I might be teaching

695
00:59:44.280 --> 00:59:47.000
some philosophical thing or bringing up a
term in economics. But I try to

696
00:59:47.119 --> 00:59:52.360
draw in some of those themes from
the classes so that people reading these things

697
00:59:52.400 --> 00:59:58.679
can get that ammunition and arm themselves
for future instances of these sorts of encroachments.

698
00:59:59.079 --> 01:00:00.280
So thank you very much, And
again, if you want to join

699
01:00:00.320 --> 01:00:04.760
the show Monday through Friday, you

thumbs up. And you know we're

01:00:32.920 --> 01:00:39.400
your appreciation for his amazing, amazing
news gathering, news analysis capabilities, every

708
01:00:39.480 --> 01:00:45.119
day news resources. So let's continue
and keep trying to spread the word about

709
01:00:45.119 --> 01:00:47.119
the David Knight Show. In fact, since I played that little piece,

710
01:00:47.360 --> 01:00:52.039
I want to show you what it's
really about. With the David Knight of

711
01:00:52.079 --> 01:00:59.559
Course Christmas Album. I'm delighted to
present something born from my love for music

712
01:01:00.039 --> 01:01:05.480
and the Christmas season. Christmas Night
is a perfect companment for anything from family

713
01:01:05.519 --> 01:01:17.159
gatherings the moments of peaceful reflection.
I hope is to provide a fresh take

714
01:01:17.280 --> 01:01:29.960
to the soundtrack of Christmas. This
collection of twenty instrumental songs brings new life

715
01:01:30.000 --> 01:01:44.480
to timeless Christmas classics with original orchestrations
alongside lesser known, yet equally enchanting carols.

716
01:02:00.119 --> 01:02:02.639
For the listeners of The David Knight
Show, this is more than music.

717
01:02:04.039 --> 01:02:09.000
It's part of our shared journey.
Christmas Night is available at the Davidnightshow

718
01:02:09.039 --> 01:02:13.920
dot com. May it bring a
little extra joy and peace to your Christmas

719
01:02:13.960 --> 01:02:27.840
season. Thank you for your unwavering
support and for joining me in this new

720
01:02:28.000 --> 01:02:39.320
musical adventure. Merry Christmas to all
and all a good Christmas night. Beautiful

721
01:02:39.320 --> 01:02:44.960
stuff from David, and boy is
it wonderful. It's absolutely fantastic. His

722
01:02:45.199 --> 01:02:51.400
musicianship is unparalleled. It's really really
great, and it's just symphonic. It's

723
01:02:51.559 --> 01:02:53.960
it's heartwarming, and I'm gonna be
listening to it all year long. It's

724
01:02:53.960 --> 01:02:58.280
gonna be one of my favorites.
And now we're gonna hear from another one

725
01:02:58.280 --> 01:03:00.400
of my favorites, a little theme
to get into our next news item on

726
01:03:00.519 --> 01:03:31.280
the program, Everybody, We're going
across the Border with alfjord h m HMUs

727
01:03:31.360 --> 01:03:38.239
go on. Of course, this
song about selling weapons in a Spanish civil

728
01:03:38.280 --> 01:03:47.320
war, when what the ways the
ghost found the clouds turns direct and silver

729
01:03:47.800 --> 01:04:03.880
on the b on my Wall,
What a great song on my wall,

730
01:04:03.960 --> 01:04:09.119
the colors of the maps surround me. I loved the chorus. In the

731
01:04:09.199 --> 01:04:12.760
village where I grew up, nothing
seems the same. It's just the patterns

732
01:04:12.840 --> 01:04:19.519
that remain an empty shell. Just
amazing lyricism. Al Stewart, of course

733
01:04:20.039 --> 01:04:24.519
you're the cat his biggest hit,
but on the Border, and that Spanish

734
01:04:24.559 --> 01:04:27.039
guitar. By the way, the
man who played it had never really done

735
01:04:27.079 --> 01:04:30.800
Spanish guitar before, but he happened
to hit something as they were sitting together

736
01:04:31.039 --> 01:04:34.239
working and Al Stewart had this idea. He said, you know what this

737
01:04:34.400 --> 01:04:38.480
is about Spain and he had an
acoustic He says, can you do a

738
01:04:38.519 --> 01:04:42.440
little Spanish guitar riff? And the
man said, well, yeah, I

739
01:04:42.519 --> 01:04:45.440
could try that. And it ended
up that it became so popular in the

740
01:04:45.519 --> 01:04:50.400
songs that he would do a solo
live and people would go crazy. So

741
01:04:50.480 --> 01:04:56.760
he became a Spanish guitar player.
Really a remarkable set of musicians working with

742
01:04:56.840 --> 01:05:00.920
Al Stewart. So let's talk about
Joe Biden going a ross the border.

743
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:08.119
Everybody meeting with the Mexican President here's
the story from Reuters. Here it is

744
01:05:08.400 --> 01:05:12.159
there. They are. Yes.
Indeed, President Joe Biden meets with Mexican

745
01:05:12.239 --> 01:05:16.480
President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. I
think tomorrow he's going to add one more

746
01:05:16.599 --> 01:05:19.960
name to his name. I'm not
sure it's inflation. You know, you

747
01:05:20.079 --> 01:05:29.199
need more names. But this headline
reads Biden Mexico's president agree more border enforcement

748
01:05:29.320 --> 01:05:31.840
needed. Well. Part of the
reason why I played on the Border rather

749
01:05:31.960 --> 01:05:35.800
than one of my other favorite songs
Mexican radio today, that, of course,

750
01:05:35.880 --> 01:05:44.000
being Wall of Voodoo, was because
on the Border mentions weapons, arms

751
01:05:44.039 --> 01:05:47.840
and ammunition. And that lets us
think about the great Eric Holder with the

752
01:05:47.920 --> 01:05:55.960
fast and furious idea of going across
the border with weapons so that they could

753
01:05:56.679 --> 01:06:00.599
first slow walk. And there was
originally an idea. It wasn't fast and

754
01:06:00.679 --> 01:06:05.960
furious, but the idea was generated
under the Bush administration, George W.

755
01:06:06.199 --> 01:06:11.159
Bush, and they wanted to bring
weapons into Mexico, get them to the

756
01:06:11.760 --> 01:06:15.840
drug cartels. Awesome, they love
you so much. They really care about

757
01:06:15.880 --> 01:06:19.000
that so called war on drugs,
don't they. That's why the military was

758
01:06:19.039 --> 01:06:24.719
guarding the poppy fields in Afghanistan so
long. And as we know, Haraldo

759
01:06:24.800 --> 01:06:31.599
Rivera interviewed a man named Lieutenant Colonel
Brian Christmas about twenty years ago, and

760
01:06:31.679 --> 01:06:34.599
they were standing in front of the
poppy field because, as you know,

761
01:06:34.760 --> 01:06:39.599
the War on Terror was so important
that they had to sit inside and occupy

762
01:06:39.639 --> 01:06:45.480
Afghanistan for twenty years and see the
United States military guard the poppy fields so

763
01:06:45.599 --> 01:06:49.960
that the percentage of the world's opium
actually increased from sales from Afghanistan. And

764
01:06:50.079 --> 01:06:55.199
they claimed in this interview, and
I'll show it on Friday. Remind me,

765
01:06:55.480 --> 01:06:59.760
I'll show it on Friday to show
just how contradictory the policies are.

766
01:06:59.800 --> 01:07:02.360
As the politicians tell you that they're
working for your good, kind of like

767
01:07:02.440 --> 01:07:05.679
the fallacy of the state, that
it's there for your protection, but of

768
01:07:05.760 --> 01:07:11.800
course it can only exist by threatening
you and your property. Just enjoy not

769
01:07:11.960 --> 01:07:16.000
paying sometime and see what happens for
that wonderful protection service. Yeah, see

770
01:07:16.039 --> 01:07:23.360
how comfortable and safe you feel by
your protectors from your protectors. But he's

771
01:07:23.400 --> 01:07:25.440
interviewing this man and he says,
well, if we don't, if we

772
01:07:25.519 --> 01:07:29.880
don't guard the poppy fields, then
the Taliban will just take over and they'll

773
01:07:30.000 --> 01:07:31.639
they'll get all the money from these
things. So we've got to guard the

774
01:07:31.679 --> 01:07:34.280
poppy fields. I'm paraphrasing. Essentially, he says, we've got to do

775
01:07:34.360 --> 01:07:39.239
this because the poor people who own
these fields, they owe money to the

776
01:07:39.400 --> 01:07:42.280
to the Taliban. They've got to
pay off the Taliban. Otherwise talban are

777
01:07:42.320 --> 01:07:45.679
just coming and take over everything.
Okay, So what happens now? The

778
01:07:45.800 --> 01:07:49.239
United States has left in that wonderful
way that Joe Biden left with billions of

779
01:07:49.280 --> 01:07:54.039
dollars worth of military equipment on the
ground there, you know, people dying.

780
01:07:54.199 --> 01:07:57.519
Oh, it's just it was a
classic classic you know what, you

781
01:07:57.639 --> 01:08:04.559
know, cluster, you know what. But the percentage of opium is no

782
01:08:04.719 --> 01:08:11.320
longer at ninety seven percent under the
United States tutelage and guarding, which rose

783
01:08:11.360 --> 01:08:15.639
from ninety percent where it was before
the United States got in. You know,

784
01:08:15.880 --> 01:08:19.159
while the United States is engaging and
it's so called war on drugs unconstitutionally

785
01:08:19.439 --> 01:08:24.680
giving US civil asset forfeiture when we
might talk about that with James Board coming

786
01:08:24.760 --> 01:08:29.880
up in the eleven o'clock hour.
But something peculiar seems to have happened,

787
01:08:29.920 --> 01:08:33.079
which is that the Taliban took over
those fields and they destroyed many of them.

788
01:08:34.520 --> 01:08:40.880
They destroyed them. So regardless of
one's view of one group of people

789
01:08:40.960 --> 01:08:45.000
destroying the property of others, that
I should have nothing to do with that.

790
01:08:45.560 --> 01:08:48.359
I should have nothing to do with
my neighbor's choice to ingest anything that's

791
01:08:48.399 --> 01:08:54.119
made from opium or anything like that. I should only have a say on

792
01:08:54.439 --> 01:08:59.279
my defense. I can't charge somebody
else to provide for my defense. I

793
01:08:59.439 --> 01:09:02.640
can't for somebody else to not take
a drug. I can't threaten him or

794
01:09:02.720 --> 01:09:06.720
her to make sure that he or
she does not ingest something. And of

795
01:09:06.800 --> 01:09:11.520
course by doing so, you get
a black market. And of course we

796
01:09:11.640 --> 01:09:15.800
saw that in the United States with
their war on drugs, which against which

797
01:09:15.840 --> 01:09:18.319
they were fighting with the US military, and you were paying for both.

798
01:09:18.640 --> 01:09:24.079
Isn't that great? Yeah, So
here we've got the on the border theme

799
01:09:24.159 --> 01:09:28.560
from Al Stewart reminding us about what
Eric Holder did, and that saw a

800
01:09:28.680 --> 01:09:32.079
border guard getting killed with a firearm
that had been brought down into Mexico in

801
01:09:32.239 --> 01:09:38.960
Operation Fast and Furious. So that's
awesome because Eric Holder is out there talking

802
01:09:39.079 --> 01:09:45.199
right now about justice and our rights
about firearms. He's the guy who said

803
01:09:45.720 --> 01:09:50.800
many years ago, we just have
to continually repeating, keep repeating gun control

804
01:09:50.920 --> 01:10:00.479
messages and just basically brainwash people.
And he used the word brainwash people into

805
01:10:00.720 --> 01:10:05.399
agreeing to further government attenuation on their
rights. But that's not the point.

806
01:10:06.520 --> 01:10:11.560
It's not that you might agree to
an attenuation on your rights. It's that

807
01:10:11.680 --> 01:10:16.680
you're agreeing to get the government to
attenuate somebody else's rights. That's the problem.

808
01:10:17.439 --> 01:10:21.000
So, yes, we can be
upset about their attempts to brainwash,

809
01:10:21.119 --> 01:10:28.560
their pr spin their Edward Burnet's propaganda, but we also can remember that typically

810
01:10:29.000 --> 01:10:32.279
when people are talking about gun control, it's not for themselves voluntarily, Oh

811
01:10:32.319 --> 01:10:34.840
I'm going to give up my guns. When was the last time you saw

812
01:10:34.880 --> 01:10:42.279
a politician walking around without armed a
federal politician walking around without some sort of

813
01:10:42.479 --> 01:10:45.199
armed protection. In Congress, they've
got armed protectors all over the price.

814
01:10:45.600 --> 01:10:49.600
I think Nancy Pelosi doesn't have armed
protectors while she votes to take away your

815
01:10:49.640 --> 01:10:54.640
firearms right. So let's find out
what they discussed in Mexico. It's just

816
01:10:54.720 --> 01:10:57.319
the first blush, but as I
mentioned at the start of the show,

817
01:10:57.720 --> 01:11:02.359
it opens up a much larger panoply
of issues that we can discuss, one

818
01:11:02.399 --> 01:11:10.359
of them being very important. Mexico
City, Washington, US President Joe Biden

819
01:11:10.439 --> 01:11:15.079
and his Mexican counterpart agreed during a
call on Thursday that more enforcement at the

820
01:11:15.159 --> 01:11:21.119
border for you got it, immigration
between their countries, is needed. Okay,

821
01:11:21.920 --> 01:11:27.720
so let's not forget that when Jim
Jordan and he always seems to talk

822
01:11:27.800 --> 01:11:30.640
a good, good game and then
doesn't seem to kind of pull through.

823
01:11:30.680 --> 01:11:33.560
He has some hearings, we get
some good television footage, but nothing's ever

824
01:11:33.640 --> 01:11:38.359
done. Maybe it's because Jordan doesn't
have enough sway to be able to get

825
01:11:38.439 --> 01:11:42.600
some legislation passed to change some of
these things. After he is involved with

826
01:11:43.000 --> 01:11:46.399
some of the questions about oh,
say, January sixth, the footage there,

827
01:11:46.680 --> 01:11:50.279
or the jabs or that sort of
thing. Okay, you know,

828
01:11:51.640 --> 01:11:56.000
I appreciate at least what he's getting
out. I wish he would be more

829
01:11:56.079 --> 01:12:00.880
forceful. Maybe he just can't get
enough people to support him. Thomas Massey

830
01:12:00.279 --> 01:12:03.479
always on the right side of things
as far as the issues go down there.

831
01:12:03.800 --> 01:12:05.760
I don't support the state at all, but if you're going to have

832
01:12:05.800 --> 01:12:09.840
a guy involved with the state,
at least try to stop the state from

833
01:12:09.920 --> 01:12:14.720
growing. US President Joe Biden and
his Mexican counterpart agreed during a call on

834
01:12:14.840 --> 01:12:19.439
Toy's Day that more enforcement at the
border, at the border and that right

835
01:12:19.520 --> 01:12:24.920
there is a misnomer between their countries
is needed. The White House said this

836
01:12:25.399 --> 01:12:30.680
as record numbers of people are trying
to cross and they have disrupted trade.

837
01:12:30.279 --> 01:12:36.079
Top US officials including oh, by
the way, yes, that's Alijndro.

838
01:12:36.159 --> 01:12:42.640
Majorca's was not responding to Jim Jordan's
request to find out not the number of

839
01:12:42.800 --> 01:12:49.800
interactions that Majorcas keeps using as a
cipher to draw attention away from the real

840
01:12:49.920 --> 01:12:55.319
numbers of how many returns, arrests
and returns. That's what people want to

841
01:12:55.399 --> 01:12:58.960
know. He keeps saying, well, we've had this many interactions. Well,

842
01:12:59.279 --> 01:13:01.520
that's not too helpful to people who
might live, oh, say,

843
01:13:01.600 --> 01:13:06.600
in the Midwest, and your interactions
are seeing the border agents who aren't even

844
01:13:06.640 --> 01:13:12.479
supposed to be on the US border
in places like Arizona, because it's supposed

845
01:13:12.479 --> 01:13:16.199
to be the Arizona border guarded by
the Arizona government. But we'll get into

846
01:13:16.239 --> 01:13:20.920
that. They're not even talking about
shipping people on the buses. Those are

847
01:13:20.960 --> 01:13:25.680
their interactions. They're putting them on
buses, they're giving them plane tickets.

848
01:13:26.279 --> 01:13:29.960
We saw just a little while ago
Ashley Saint Clair from the Babylon b took

849
01:13:30.000 --> 01:13:32.680
footage in an airport as people were
at a delta gate. Every one of

850
01:13:32.720 --> 01:13:38.279
them she could tell was an illegal
immigrant. I mentioned yesterday on my program

851
01:13:39.079 --> 01:13:44.600
the United States government is now allowing
this is the TSA in the airports.

852
01:13:44.880 --> 01:13:53.439
They're allowing illegal immigrants to use their
arrest charges, their arrest warrants as id

853
01:13:55.640 --> 01:13:59.880
so as you have to go through
the Gelian dialectic of being scanned or grow

854
01:14:00.319 --> 01:14:03.319
having your face scanned, which,
as I mentioned, people seem to be

855
01:14:03.439 --> 01:14:08.359
very upset when Right Aid Pharmacy was
engaging in that, but they are not

856
01:14:08.600 --> 01:14:13.600
speaking up in arms and crying out
foul when the US government does it contrary

857
01:14:13.640 --> 01:14:15.960
to half the Bill of Rights.
It's like you don't have to go to

858
01:14:16.079 --> 01:14:20.279
that drug store, but the government
imposes itself between you and the airline,

859
01:14:20.840 --> 01:14:27.680
which one is actually immoral? How
about the goverment the other one? You

860
01:14:27.760 --> 01:14:30.359
can decide do I want to do
it or not? Is this their policy?

861
01:14:30.479 --> 01:14:32.479
Well, I don't want to go
right now. If it's surreptitious,

862
01:14:32.520 --> 01:14:36.439
then that's different, but on the
part of the drug store. But if

863
01:14:36.479 --> 01:14:40.600
they make it an open policy,
you can decide and they can rise or

864
01:14:40.640 --> 01:14:44.399
fall based on their policy. Government's
going to keep getting your money, and

865
01:14:44.520 --> 01:14:49.640
of course for this bogus homeland security
stuff, and Alejandro Majorca's even Jim Jordan

866
01:14:49.760 --> 01:14:54.439
can't get proper answers from the guy. Well we've had this many interactions.

867
01:14:54.640 --> 01:14:57.800
Well we're not talking about interactions,
we're talking about how many returns have you

868
01:14:57.920 --> 01:15:04.439
done? Geez? So yes,
Alejandro Majorcas and Secretary of State Anthony Blincoln

869
01:15:04.920 --> 01:15:11.439
and Homeland Security Advisor Elizabeth Sherwood Randall, Yes, and she gets applause for

870
01:15:11.479 --> 01:15:16.239
the hyphens. We'll travel to Mexico
in coming days to meet with President Andres

871
01:15:16.319 --> 01:15:25.279
Manuel Lopez Obrador on the issue,
White House National Security spokesman John Kirby said

872
01:15:25.319 --> 01:15:30.600
in a briefing with reporters. So
pretty much every one of those people are

873
01:15:30.680 --> 01:15:35.920
almost comical. The visit will focus
on efforts to stem migratory flows. Who's

874
01:15:35.960 --> 01:15:40.760
paying for that, I don't know, and how the two countries can work

875
01:15:40.840 --> 01:15:45.399
together, Kirby said, later,
adding that the leaders had spoken about what

876
01:15:45.520 --> 01:15:49.279
could be done from Mexico to slow
down the process. Quote, there's probably

877
01:15:49.680 --> 01:15:56.960
more we can be doing, Kirby
said. Dozens of major US agricultural groups

878
01:15:57.000 --> 01:16:01.600
on Wednesday urged the US to reopen
two rail crossings on the Texas Mexico border

879
01:16:01.680 --> 01:16:08.960
to restore trade routes closed due to
the rising migrant crossings. Well, how

880
01:16:08.960 --> 01:16:14.520
about the trade routes that have been
closed due to the Jabman dates. Yes,

881
01:16:14.720 --> 01:16:17.079
Joe Biden picked up that baton from
Donald Trump and just ran all the

882
01:16:17.119 --> 01:16:20.560
way to the border with it.
On the border. The White House then

883
01:16:20.640 --> 01:16:26.279
said it was working with Mexico to
resolve issues that led to the closures.

884
01:16:27.279 --> 01:16:31.279
Okay, Conservatives, again, let's
just mention that if you think it's a

885
01:16:31.399 --> 01:16:38.279
really good idea to have central command
and control, that runs against most of

886
01:16:38.359 --> 01:16:43.600
your philosophy. I thought you liked
decentralization. I thought you didn't like central

887
01:16:43.640 --> 01:16:46.840
command and control, Soviet style decision
making. I thought you didn't go for

888
01:16:46.960 --> 01:16:51.279
that. Well, let's turn to
MRCTV. There's my ugly mug over in

889
01:16:51.359 --> 01:16:55.880
Brighton, England, when my first
novella came out over in Brighton. And

890
01:16:56.079 --> 01:17:08.640
let's look at this this story from
the Biden administration, Biden border patrol to

891
01:17:08.760 --> 01:17:14.680
work like travel agents inside Mexico.
And this is the one I mentioned at

892
01:17:14.680 --> 01:17:17.359
the beginning of the David Knight show
this morning that I really don't think a

893
01:17:17.399 --> 01:17:20.840
lot of people are discussing, so
don't mind me, everybody. I think

894
01:17:21.079 --> 01:17:25.560
I'd like to make sure that I
give you this information. And again big

895
01:17:25.680 --> 01:17:30.560
thanks to the MRCTV people for letting
me put this story out. Let's just

896
01:17:31.039 --> 01:17:35.880
give this a quick one right now. Oh, there's going to be stop.

897
01:17:36.319 --> 01:17:42.399
Did you know thousands of Americans are
piggybacking off an IRS? You know,

898
01:17:42.680 --> 01:17:47.920
Albert Einstein often receives credit for observing
insanity is doing the same thing over

899
01:17:48.039 --> 01:17:55.239
and over and expecting different results,
And conservatives might want to reflect on that

900
01:17:55.479 --> 01:18:02.399
aphorism, especially when discovering this new
wrinkle in the increasingly distorted, nasty face

901
01:18:03.159 --> 01:18:12.079
of federal control over immigration. Hi. Everyone, I'm Gardner Goldsmith for MRCTV

902
01:18:12.359 --> 01:18:18.119
and here's the absolutely crazy story.
Joseph Simonson reports for the Washington Free Beacon.

903
01:18:18.520 --> 01:18:25.039
Quote. A senior official familiar with
the plan told the Washington Free Beacon

904
01:18:25.199 --> 01:18:33.159
that the Department of Homeland Security wants
to dispatch customs and Border Protection agents to

905
01:18:33.439 --> 01:18:43.039
areas of Mexico that has seen large
influxes of migrants there. Documents obtained by

906
01:18:43.119 --> 01:18:49.960
the Free Beacon show law enforcement would
begin the screening process for migrants and expedite

907
01:18:50.000 --> 01:18:58.439
their final journey across the Southern board. Such a program is virtually unprecedented and

908
01:18:58.640 --> 01:19:05.920
represents an escalation of what critics call
the Biden Administration's facilitation of illegal immigration.

909
01:19:06.520 --> 01:19:12.720
Indeed, in just the last few
months, Americans already have seen the Center

910
01:19:12.840 --> 01:19:19.920
for Immigration Studies exposing a Biden administration
program offering to potential migrants and app that

911
01:19:20.079 --> 01:19:26.119
they can use to get air travel
tickets that will bring them virtually anywhere in

912
01:19:26.199 --> 01:19:31.199
the US, allowing them to land
and avoid federal border checks. Altogether,

913
01:19:31.800 --> 01:19:40.640
Americans already have seen Capitol Hill arguments
and accusations about Biden's border patrol withholding data

914
01:19:41.000 --> 01:19:46.399
related to the numbers of migrant encounters
relative to the number of US government returns

915
01:19:47.039 --> 01:19:54.359
of the migrants. And even this
past week, we saw Senator Jony Erst,

916
01:19:54.399 --> 01:20:00.960
a Republican of Iowa, remind Americans
that Massachusetts Democrat at Governor Maura Healey's

917
01:20:01.159 --> 01:20:09.920
verbiage about a migrant emergency in her
state kind of runs counter to her previous

918
01:20:10.000 --> 01:20:16.279
statements in favor of virtually unlimited immigration
and counter to her continued support for more

919
01:20:16.439 --> 01:20:24.439
migrants coming to Massachusetts Senator Earnst told
viewers of Fox News not to forget that

920
01:20:24.720 --> 01:20:30.600
Heale had used tax money to subsidize
the housing of migrants and hotels near the

921
01:20:30.760 --> 01:20:38.359
stadium where the Big Army Navy football
game took place Saturday, December ninth.

922
01:20:38.880 --> 01:20:45.880
Senator Ernst correctly made reference to the
fact that Healey's recent rhetoric about an emergency

923
01:20:45.600 --> 01:20:53.800
seems offered merely to turn on the
nineteen eighties Massachusetts statute that upon a governor's

924
01:20:53.960 --> 01:21:00.119
declaration of an emergency for shelter,
the statute mandates that the state give shelter

925
01:21:00.399 --> 01:21:08.760
to anyone asking for it, and
it facilitates legal and medical welfare for said

926
01:21:08.840 --> 01:21:15.319
recipients of the shelter. It also
facilitates Heally calling on you got it,

927
01:21:15.680 --> 01:21:24.039
Homeland Securities are Alejandro Majorcas to send
her more nationally collected tax cash, regardless

928
01:21:24.279 --> 01:21:30.760
of there being nothing in the US
Constitution allowing that. Now we get the

929
01:21:30.960 --> 01:21:34.600
lovely insult to the supposed rule book
of the United States, the Constitution,

930
01:21:35.239 --> 01:21:41.479
and to US taxpayers. In this
new story, Simonson reports, quote,

931
01:21:41.640 --> 01:21:46.560
what the Department of Homeland Security wants
to do is send customs officers to Mexico

932
01:21:47.159 --> 01:21:54.560
so we can pre clear surges of
migrants, ostensibly in hopes they stop crossing

933
01:21:54.760 --> 01:22:00.079
illegally. The DHS official told the
Free Beacon they would be doing background vetting

934
01:22:00.279 --> 01:22:08.279
so migrants can be waved through,
but the plan could put further strain on

935
01:22:08.560 --> 01:22:15.600
border patrol, which already faces a
staffing shortage ahead of an expected winter surge.

936
01:22:15.199 --> 01:22:19.800
Staff who spoke with the Free Beacon
said miles of the southern border have

937
01:22:19.960 --> 01:22:28.920
gone unguarded because agents have been relegated
to processing migrants well. The standard conservative

938
01:22:29.000 --> 01:22:33.880
observation of the Biden narrative has been
to question how many of the migrants who

939
01:22:34.039 --> 01:22:40.920
cross the border are apprehended and returned. Then added to that, there's the

940
01:22:41.079 --> 01:22:46.920
question of the FEDS and various state
governments like that of Massachusetts literally subsidizing people's

941
01:22:47.039 --> 01:22:53.720
moves. When was the last time
your move to a new locale was subsidized

942
01:22:53.760 --> 01:23:00.039
by someone else's sweat and toil and
tax money at Simonson quote. President and

943
01:23:00.199 --> 01:23:05.439
Joe Biden has overseen the largest immigration
crisis in US history, with law enforcement

944
01:23:05.760 --> 01:23:13.359
recording more than five million illegal crossings
on the southern border since he took office.

945
01:23:13.880 --> 01:23:17.479
Blue state governors say the record number
of migrants coming to their cities is

946
01:23:17.640 --> 01:23:24.720
straining their welfare systems, and cities
including New York and Chicago, are considering

947
01:23:24.920 --> 01:23:30.479
budget cuts to offset the cost of
housing and feeding migrants. The Department of

948
01:23:30.560 --> 01:23:35.359
Homeland Security declined to comment. Of
course, the DHS didn't respond. In

949
01:23:35.439 --> 01:23:42.119
a constitutional America, there would be
no DHS to respond to these questions because

950
01:23:42.479 --> 01:23:49.039
the DHS is massively toweringly unconstitutional.
In a conservative America, the border would

951
01:23:49.079 --> 01:23:55.880
be handled according to the wording of
the Constitution, meaning that state governments would

952
01:23:55.960 --> 01:24:02.520
handle the matter. Doesn't it strike
conservatives as odd that a senator from Iowa

953
01:24:02.880 --> 01:24:11.279
should be talking about hotel rooms and
political problems in Massachusetts? Or should one

954
01:24:11.399 --> 01:24:17.880
recall Einstein's admonition here? Conservatives generally
talk the good talk when it comes to

955
01:24:18.000 --> 01:24:26.399
opposing central planning and central government.
They oft promote the Founder's ideal of decentralization

956
01:24:26.680 --> 01:24:34.039
and federalism. Yet nowadays few conservatives
acknowledge a key fact about their US Constitution.

957
01:24:34.439 --> 01:24:42.039
The words immigration and immigrant do not
appear in the US Constitution. The

958
01:24:42.199 --> 01:24:47.159
only passage of the Constitution from which
one might infer a link to immigration is

959
01:24:47.239 --> 01:24:53.680
in Article one, Section nine,
and this provision tells readers that prior to

960
01:24:53.800 --> 01:24:59.399
eighteen oh eight, Congress could not
write laws regarding the migration into any of

961
01:24:59.439 --> 01:25:04.319
the original thirteen states from outside the
US or from other states in the Union.

962
01:25:04.800 --> 01:25:11.760
The Founders understood that immigration was not
a federal purview. If a state

963
01:25:11.920 --> 01:25:16.800
legislature or governor should call on the
federal government to lead the militia from other

964
01:25:17.000 --> 01:25:24.279
states to that state in order to
protect that state's republican form of government from

965
01:25:24.399 --> 01:25:30.840
violence or insurrection, the Feds are
constitutionally bound to respond. And ironically,

966
01:25:31.439 --> 01:25:36.239
Governor Greg Abbott of Texas has done
that, and of course Joe Biden,

967
01:25:36.640 --> 01:25:42.640
well, he hasn't responded in any
constitutional fashion. In fact, we now

968
01:25:42.840 --> 01:25:49.439
witness the possibility that Biden's border so
called patrol will head to Mexico to make

969
01:25:49.479 --> 01:25:57.399
it easier for migrants to come to
the States. Perhaps conservatives can see that

970
01:25:57.520 --> 01:26:03.039
the problem is not just Biden.
The problem is the reliance on central command

971
01:26:03.239 --> 01:26:11.279
and control and the discarding of the
original Constitution. What else is needed to

972
01:26:11.399 --> 01:26:19.119
awaken that spirit of constitutionalism of the
Founders and see conservatives resist the temptation to

973
01:26:19.399 --> 01:26:26.119
centralize immigration. What else do we
have to see when this issue has been

974
01:26:26.439 --> 01:26:30.600
mismanaged for so many years, and
now we're starting to see this in Mexico

975
01:26:31.159 --> 01:26:38.920
as a possibility. Big lessons about
history, morality, ethics, and freedom.

976
01:26:39.840 --> 01:26:43.039
Thanks so much for watching. Everybody, please like and subscribe, and

977
01:26:43.520 --> 01:26:46.960
so there you go, everybody.
I thought the team at MRCTV they're great

978
01:26:47.039 --> 01:26:51.119
guys, really good guys. I
was just looking at my bright red here.

979
01:26:51.600 --> 01:26:56.239
And yes, Jason Barker, this
is in honor of you and so

980
01:26:56.359 --> 01:26:59.880
many of the other people who know
that. I did my scriptwriting time at

981
01:27:00.000 --> 01:27:02.279
Star Trek Voyager, and yes I
am a Red Shirt, but I guess

982
01:27:02.279 --> 01:27:08.319
statistically the Red Shirt guys weren't killed
as often as people say on Star Trek,

983
01:27:08.840 --> 01:27:14.560
so hopefully I'm not the sacrificial lamb
for freedom out there. But yeah,

984
01:27:15.520 --> 01:27:18.079
it was great that MRCTV allowed me
to put that out there. And

985
01:27:18.119 --> 01:27:25.640
I'd like to amplify on this story
that you know, this story about Mexico,

986
01:27:26.000 --> 01:27:32.000
the Mexican President, Joe Biden and
so on, this story really is

987
01:27:32.560 --> 01:27:36.239
It's just superficial. It doesn't really
mean very much right now at all,

988
01:27:38.119 --> 01:27:40.880
but I think it indicates that they're
going to be trying to do something.

989
01:27:40.960 --> 01:27:44.640
They're going to do some other really
bad thing. I don't know what it'll

990
01:27:44.680 --> 01:27:46.920
be. We don't know whether or
not they're going to be issuing these you

991
01:27:47.000 --> 01:27:53.520
know, working as travel agents in
Mexico, but it probably is going to

992
01:27:53.600 --> 01:27:58.199
have something to do with sending money
to Mexico. They're probably going to try

993
01:27:58.239 --> 01:28:00.159
to shell out money down to Mexican
go for something. I don't know what

994
01:28:00.279 --> 01:28:04.640
it'll be. We'll find out,
but it's the first blush telling us that

995
01:28:04.920 --> 01:28:09.479
yes, they're getting all set up
for some pomp and circumstance, uh to

996
01:28:09.840 --> 01:28:17.159
engage in some other bad central government
border border patrol, cross cultural Mexico America

997
01:28:17.399 --> 01:28:24.960
arrangement. But I'd like to amplify
on what you just saw from MRCTV because,

998
01:28:26.279 --> 01:28:29.600
as I've mentioned to numerous people,
I think a lot of conservatives.

999
01:28:30.640 --> 01:28:33.760
I've mentioned this before when I filled
in for David. I've had great conversations

1000
01:28:33.880 --> 01:28:40.720
with Pat Buchanan and Tom tan Credo, JD. Hayworth a little mini debates

1001
01:28:40.800 --> 01:28:45.000
in a very free, friendly spirited
uh you know, you know, exchange

1002
01:28:45.039 --> 01:28:51.800
of information idea concept where I have
explained to them. I said, guys,

1003
01:28:51.960 --> 01:29:00.960
I understand that the the supposed care
that Democrats have about immigrants is really

1004
01:29:01.079 --> 01:29:04.880
that's just a smoke screen. Everybody
knows that. For years they have wanted

1005
01:29:05.039 --> 01:29:11.880
to use a sort of variation on
cultural Marxism to try to make it look

1006
01:29:11.920 --> 01:29:15.520
as if there for the downtrodden immigrant. There for the person who's going to

1007
01:29:15.560 --> 01:29:19.399
be coming in and working the fields
and doing the day labor. They they

1008
01:29:19.399 --> 01:29:25.199
don't want to see people having to
work as under the black market and things

1009
01:29:25.319 --> 01:29:30.520
like that illegally. And there might
be a small percentage of the Democrats,

1010
01:29:30.600 --> 01:29:34.760
but the Democrat politicians you could tell
for years anybody who's been working in Washington.

1011
01:29:35.039 --> 01:29:40.119
I spent a summer in Washington doing
journalism there. You know what the

1012
01:29:40.239 --> 01:29:45.279
Democrats actually want for immigration. Their
policies don't come from the heart. They

1013
01:29:45.319 --> 01:29:49.640
don't come from an understanding of the
Constitution. They come from wanting to come

1014
01:29:49.720 --> 01:29:56.640
from their desire to get more people
onto what they think will be the government

1015
01:29:56.800 --> 01:30:00.920
dole, to get more supporters for
their party, to get more people who

1016
01:30:00.920 --> 01:30:02.920
would support their ideology and vote for
them. That's what they want. It's

1017
01:30:02.920 --> 01:30:06.359
about votes. For the Republicans,
it's a bit of a mixed bag.

1018
01:30:08.319 --> 01:30:13.880
You get some conservatives who culturally maybe
they think that there's a problem. They

1019
01:30:13.960 --> 01:30:16.000
want the culture to be a certain
way. But that's a tiny, tiny

1020
01:30:16.079 --> 01:30:18.880
portion of people, because, of
course, there have been a lot of

1021
01:30:18.920 --> 01:30:23.960
different types of cultures that in America. You know, many conservatives have learned,

1022
01:30:24.039 --> 01:30:28.279
and even many people who come up
from Cuba are very conservative people.

1023
01:30:28.479 --> 01:30:33.279
So conservatism and antagonism for different groups
of so called racial groups and things like

1024
01:30:33.359 --> 01:30:40.159
that is not necessarily the conservative line
that the Democrats constantly tell us. But

1025
01:30:40.399 --> 01:30:43.479
okay, let's say there's a certain
percentage. I think the larger percentage of

1026
01:30:43.560 --> 01:30:46.840
conservatives were concerned with a that they
thought that the border was supposed to be

1027
01:30:46.880 --> 01:30:54.640
controlled by the government, the federal
government or or a Another alternative is that

1028
01:30:54.720 --> 01:31:01.159
they worried about welfareism and possible crime
schools being overloaded and things like that by

1029
01:31:01.399 --> 01:31:06.319
immigrants. Okay, then there's this
sub portion for both parties that they get

1030
01:31:06.399 --> 01:31:12.560
these give and take on whether or
not the migrants will be so called stealing

1031
01:31:12.600 --> 01:31:17.439
American jobs. On the economics side
of that, Okay, so the Republicans

1032
01:31:17.720 --> 01:31:20.880
generally speaking, for a long time, we'd talk about we don't want these

1033
01:31:20.920 --> 01:31:25.279
people adding to the welfare roles,
which is what the Democrats seem to want.

1034
01:31:26.199 --> 01:31:29.319
But even Anne Colter, and I've
met her, she's a very pleasant

1035
01:31:29.359 --> 01:31:33.520
woman. She's been recently speaking out
about abortion in terrible ways. I don't

1036
01:31:33.600 --> 01:31:38.119
like the fact that she wants Republicans
to drop the abortion issue. It's like,

1037
01:31:38.199 --> 01:31:41.279
please this, we're talking about human
life here, the fourteenth Amendment.

1038
01:31:41.399 --> 01:31:45.760
If she as a trained lawyer,
she recognized the Fourteenth Amendment should stand for

1039
01:31:45.880 --> 01:31:49.640
the protection of all human beings.
State statutes prohibiting murder should apply to all

1040
01:31:49.840 --> 01:31:54.680
human beings, and fetuses are human, and at the moment of conception,

1041
01:31:54.880 --> 01:31:59.039
they are being That's when it starts
the great natural arc that leads to our

1042
01:31:59.119 --> 01:32:04.159
natural demise thanks to God deciding right
human beings interfering. That's taking a human

1043
01:32:04.239 --> 01:32:08.840
life. Simple. It's a basic
syllogism, you know, And she should

1044
01:32:08.840 --> 01:32:12.640
get it. But I'm sure she
does. But I don't understand why she's

1045
01:32:12.720 --> 01:32:18.119
making those calculations. But I understand
the differences between the parties, the differences

1046
01:32:18.199 --> 01:32:23.560
that people have. But oftentimes Conservatives
will talk about welfare stuff, and it's

1047
01:32:23.560 --> 01:32:28.600
almost as if they're accepting now of
welfare for Americans. They're saying, well,

1048
01:32:28.720 --> 01:32:30.800
these are foreigners, they're getting welfare. They shouldn't be getting welfare.

1049
01:32:31.239 --> 01:32:33.920
They don't pay taxes. Well,
in many cases, they do pay taxes

1050
01:32:34.000 --> 01:32:38.680
in various forms, whether or not
it's income taxes. There might be property

1051
01:32:38.760 --> 01:32:42.960
taxes that they're paying indirectly, gasoline
taxes, sales taxes, a lot of

1052
01:32:43.000 --> 01:32:45.520
different kinds of taxes they'll be paying
if they're up here, right, That's

1053
01:32:45.800 --> 01:32:49.479
just those are just how many angels
can dance on the head of a poisonous

1054
01:32:49.520 --> 01:32:54.720
pen. You're not getting to the
root of the issue right getting to the

1055
01:32:54.800 --> 01:32:59.640
root radical radii radish right in the
Greek. So let's get to the root

1056
01:32:59.680 --> 01:33:02.399
of things right now and talk about
amplifying a couple of those issues that I

1057
01:33:02.520 --> 01:33:06.359
mentioned. At eleven o'clock, James
Boulevard will be with us and he will

1058
01:33:06.359 --> 01:33:13.159
be talking about as I done,
My Spectacles, My spect Spectacles. Yes,

1059
01:33:13.840 --> 01:33:17.199
we'll be talking about his book of
course, Last Writes, just out

1060
01:33:17.439 --> 01:33:21.560
from the Libertarian Institute. Great stuff. And by the way, in addition

1061
01:33:21.760 --> 01:33:28.279
to getting that book from the Libertarian
Institute, my sister gave me Tom Woods's

1062
01:33:28.359 --> 01:33:33.239
latest one with a forward by Jay
Batikaria, Diary of a Psychosis from you

1063
01:33:33.439 --> 01:33:40.079
got it. The Libertarian Institute,
formed by one of my friends, Sheldon

1064
01:33:40.159 --> 01:33:48.319
Richmond, and of course hold on
second, okay, yeah, well,

1065
01:33:48.359 --> 01:33:50.800
I'll go into it later on.
I don't know, don't want to get

1066
01:33:50.840 --> 01:33:56.000
too far into but great people,
great people at the Libertary Libertarian Institute.

1067
01:33:56.039 --> 01:33:59.600
I was going to mention Scott Horton
and start talking out about how great Scott

1068
01:33:59.640 --> 01:34:04.880
Horton is. But okay, let's
get into a little amplification from what you

1069
01:34:05.039 --> 01:34:09.520
got to see on that. And
if you're joining us for the first time

1070
01:34:09.560 --> 01:34:13.119
in the David Knight Show, thank
you for doing so. I'm Gardner Goldsmith

1071
01:34:13.119 --> 01:34:17.119
filling in for David. And what
you just got to see was an MRCTV

1072
01:34:17.319 --> 01:34:21.800
production of this story that we don't
know whether it's going to happen. We'll

1073
01:34:21.840 --> 01:34:27.880
find out. But people who are
very upset about the thousands of folks coming

1074
01:34:27.960 --> 01:34:32.000
over the border, they are justified
to be upset. But I think that

1075
01:34:32.159 --> 01:34:38.000
conservatives are making a mistake when they're
looking to the central authority here. And

1076
01:34:38.119 --> 01:34:45.439
I noticed there's some great, great
comments on both Rock Finn and Rumble.

1077
01:34:46.439 --> 01:34:50.279
Michael Silvio says, slave labor.
Yeah, and that's one of the other

1078
01:34:50.359 --> 01:34:54.760
things too, Michael. I was
going to mention the other part of it

1079
01:34:55.000 --> 01:35:00.000
is, you know, the competition
against so called Native workers. Union people

1080
01:35:00.239 --> 01:35:04.600
don't want the immigrants coming in,
and by making it prohibited, those people

1081
01:35:04.640 --> 01:35:08.840
who are now working and coming to
the United States, they might be having

1082
01:35:08.880 --> 01:35:13.800
it relatively better than where they came
from, but they can't turn to any

1083
01:35:13.840 --> 01:35:20.520
above board, recognizable so called authorities
to get any sort of compensation or adjudication

1084
01:35:20.680 --> 01:35:26.439
over a work dispute. So many
times they can be preyed upon in much

1085
01:35:26.600 --> 01:35:31.199
easier ways than if they were legal. And I use the terms legal and

1086
01:35:31.359 --> 01:35:38.119
illegal very carefully. By the way, Yes, banks that hopefully I do

1087
01:35:38.239 --> 01:35:43.640
look like Nosferato. I used to
pretend I was Nosparati at times. So

1088
01:35:43.800 --> 01:35:46.439
let me go into this for you
and offer you a bit of information about

1089
01:35:48.319 --> 01:35:57.640
immigration. Now, I wrote in
two thousand and six about something that was

1090
01:35:57.840 --> 01:36:01.760
in dispute in the Senate at the
time, and so I want to go

1091
01:36:01.920 --> 01:36:09.439
into the Constitution and talk about what
is in the constitution. And you saw

1092
01:36:09.520 --> 01:36:13.279
in that video, and there are
portions of the argument that actually aren't in

1093
01:36:13.359 --> 01:36:15.680
the video and could have deserved amplification, but they had to cut them out

1094
01:36:15.720 --> 01:36:18.920
for time. So I'm going to
amplify on this now and give you the

1095
01:36:19.000 --> 01:36:21.760
rundown from my book. This is
from my book Lived for Your Die if

1096
01:36:21.760 --> 01:36:26.800
you're looking for it, and it
was published in two thousand and seven,

1097
01:36:27.000 --> 01:36:31.159
I believe. And again if you've
never watched that, my father has quotes

1098
01:36:31.199 --> 01:36:33.800
inside this as well. That's my
dad when he was in the Navy in

1099
01:36:33.800 --> 01:36:38.199
World War Two, taken in Hawaii. That's my father, Paul H.

1100
01:36:38.239 --> 01:36:41.840
Goldsmith. So he has different sayings
and aphorisms that he has in here.

1101
01:36:42.399 --> 01:36:46.319
But I said, let's look at
the Constitution. I said, Article one,

1102
01:36:46.840 --> 01:36:53.520
section eight of the Constitution gives Congress
the power to control naturalization, a

1103
01:36:53.640 --> 01:36:58.720
provision which has often been mistaken for
the granting of power over immigration itself.

1104
01:36:59.680 --> 01:37:01.359
As if to meention on my own
show, Mark Levin does this all the

1105
01:37:01.439 --> 01:37:05.840
time, Mark Levin, I'm very
upset all the time. I can't stop

1106
01:37:05.920 --> 01:37:10.199
talking like this. Can you imagine
being his wife? Hi, honey,

1107
01:37:10.239 --> 01:37:15.680
good morning, good morning, Okay, okay, Mark. Anyway, that

1108
01:37:15.000 --> 01:37:20.720
naturalization provision often has been mistaken for
the granting of power over immigration itself,

1109
01:37:21.079 --> 01:37:27.279
and has been used to promulgate heaps
of premicious legislation for decades, despite the

1110
01:37:27.359 --> 01:37:31.840
fact that there is a profound difference
between naturalization becoming a citizen and immigration being

1111
01:37:31.880 --> 01:37:36.560
on the soil of one of the
United States. Many so called conservatives have

1112
01:37:36.760 --> 01:37:42.680
taken it upon themselves to mix the
two as they attempt to justify federal immigration

1113
01:37:42.880 --> 01:37:45.960
law. For example, Mark Levin, well known radio host in New York

1114
01:37:46.039 --> 01:37:50.960
City an author of Men in Black, has stated quote, the first effort

1115
01:37:51.039 --> 01:37:58.199
to control immigration and naturalization came with
a Naturalization Act in seventeen ninety when Congress

1116
01:37:58.319 --> 01:38:02.359
set the residency requirement for the US
citizenship at two years. In seventeen ninety

1117
01:38:02.399 --> 01:38:05.520
five, the requirement was increased to
five years. Did you notice what he

1118
01:38:05.600 --> 01:38:11.960
did there? He included immigration,
He said, I'll read it again.

1119
01:38:12.039 --> 01:38:18.119
The first effort to control immigration and
naturalization came with what the Naturalization Act.

1120
01:38:19.800 --> 01:38:25.960
It had nothing to do with immigration
at all. Unfortunately, for many conservatives

1121
01:38:26.079 --> 01:38:31.159
and for mister Levin's claims, the
Naturalization Acts of both seventeen ninety and seventeen

1122
01:38:31.279 --> 01:38:38.439
ninety five pertained strictly to what was
constitutionally granted to the Congress the power to

1123
01:38:38.560 --> 01:38:45.079
determine citizenship requirements. The acts had
nothing to do with whether people could be

1124
01:38:45.479 --> 01:38:50.720
in one of the many United States
the power over immigration was a state purview,

1125
01:38:50.840 --> 01:38:54.800
and the founders knew it. To
try to mix the two is either

1126
01:38:54.840 --> 01:38:59.840
a mark of an amateur historian or
someone who is attempting to mislead his readers.

1127
01:39:00.560 --> 01:39:05.920
The only place where the concept of
immigration appears in the US Constitution is

1128
01:39:06.359 --> 01:39:11.079
Article one, Section nine, and
that's the concept of it, not the

1129
01:39:11.199 --> 01:39:15.359
word, and that's the one that's
mentioned in this But the tail part of

1130
01:39:15.520 --> 01:39:17.359
my point was not in this video. So I want to give it to

1131
01:39:17.399 --> 01:39:24.520
you. And that reads in part, the migration or importation of such persons

1132
01:39:24.880 --> 01:39:30.079
as any of the states now existing, that's the thirteen States, any of

1133
01:39:30.159 --> 01:39:35.720
the states now existing shall think proper
to admit, shall not be prohibited by

1134
01:39:35.800 --> 01:39:42.920
the Congress prior to the year one
thousand, eight hundred and eight period.

1135
01:39:43.520 --> 01:39:47.000
Now why did they do that.
It was a compromise for the Southern states

1136
01:39:47.520 --> 01:39:53.680
because they didn't want the federal government
interfering in the importation of slaves. It

1137
01:39:53.800 --> 01:39:58.680
had to do with slaves, the
importation of slaves or the movement of slaves

1138
01:39:58.720 --> 01:40:01.720
from one state to another state,
so that their states would not be turned

1139
01:40:01.800 --> 01:40:10.199
into Djura by law free states by
the Congress blocking the importation of slaves into

1140
01:40:10.279 --> 01:40:15.520
there, and eventually people the generations
passing, and they're having no more slaves,

1141
01:40:15.960 --> 01:40:18.840
okay, So I said, this
provision of the Constitution tells the careful

1142
01:40:18.880 --> 01:40:25.560
reedo that prior to eighteen oh eight, Congress could not write any laws regarding

1143
01:40:25.600 --> 01:40:30.640
the migration into any of the original
thirteen states from outside the US or from

1144
01:40:30.680 --> 01:40:35.119
other states in the Union. Such
wording and the philosophy of the founders themselves

1145
01:40:35.159 --> 01:40:43.159
would imply that unless the Constitution was
amended, Congress did not have jurisdiction to

1146
01:40:43.439 --> 01:40:48.279
right laws dealing with immigration in the
original states before eighteen oh eight, and

1147
01:40:48.439 --> 01:40:53.760
did not have the power to write
laws pertaining to immigration in any states that

1148
01:40:53.960 --> 01:40:58.560
subsequently joined the Union. This is
just basic logic, I said. This

1149
01:40:58.920 --> 01:41:04.399
is an important dist one lost on
most so called conservative politicians, and sadly

1150
01:41:04.840 --> 01:41:10.359
one also lost by Supreme Court justices
very early in US history. And so

1151
01:41:10.439 --> 01:41:13.600
I've run through this with Pat,
I've run through this with Tom tan Crado,

1152
01:41:13.800 --> 01:41:15.880
and they've been very friendly. They've
listened, we've exchanged I've listened to

1153
01:41:15.960 --> 01:41:19.439
them, and then they let me
go through the other portions of this and

1154
01:41:19.520 --> 01:41:23.880
they all end up agreeing well,
Gardner, I can't fault your argument.

1155
01:41:23.920 --> 01:41:28.000
You're right, and I know,
I know I'm right. I've done it.

1156
01:41:28.079 --> 01:41:30.520
I've gone really in depth on this. But then they always fall back

1157
01:41:30.600 --> 01:41:34.119
to but and then they go on
and it's like, oh, you guys,

1158
01:41:34.680 --> 01:41:40.720
so let's go through a little more
here. So it was not until

1159
01:41:40.760 --> 01:41:45.760
eighteen seventy five, with the Supreme
Court decision in the case of Chi Loong

1160
01:41:45.880 --> 01:41:49.960
v. Freeman and the passage of
the Page Law subsequent to that in Congress,

1161
01:41:50.560 --> 01:41:58.079
that federal control was established regarding immigration
into more than the original thirteen states.

1162
01:41:58.680 --> 01:42:01.439
As one would expect, and as
we have seen with the push to

1163
01:42:01.560 --> 01:42:09.319
restrict immigration today, the driving force
behind this nineteenth century shift in power was

1164
01:42:09.479 --> 01:42:15.439
political economics. In the West,
native US workers were upset by the growing

1165
01:42:15.560 --> 01:42:20.640
presence of lower cost Chinese labor in
gold mines and on railroads. The Transcontinental

1166
01:42:20.760 --> 01:42:25.720
Railroad, even though it was a
boondoggle, was built in no small part

1167
01:42:25.840 --> 01:42:30.479
by low priced Chinese workers. As
a result, they lobbied This is the

1168
01:42:30.600 --> 01:42:33.319
native people, not the Chinese people, but the so called Americans at that

1169
01:42:33.399 --> 01:42:41.359
time. They lobbied their representatives to
restrict their foreign competition. Such activities seems

1170
01:42:41.520 --> 01:42:45.600
very familiar today, just as the
unions. In eighteen eighty two, the

1171
01:42:45.680 --> 01:42:53.119
so called Chinese Exclusion Act was passed
in the United States. It barred entrance

1172
01:42:53.239 --> 01:43:00.199
into America by Chinese laborers for ten
years, halted Chinese non labor immigration for

1173
01:43:00.319 --> 01:43:04.880
sixty years, and prohibited entirely all
naturalization by Chinese people, just like today,

1174
01:43:04.880 --> 01:43:09.439
as members of the United Auto Workers
and Senator Chuck Schumer of New York

1175
01:43:09.479 --> 01:43:15.199
tell us that only certain kinds of
immigrant labor are acceptable, those that in

1176
01:43:15.319 --> 01:43:19.039
no way stand to compete against their
excessively high wage rates the politicians, and

1177
01:43:19.119 --> 01:43:24.359
that's money that consumers could keep and
then spend on something else. This is

1178
01:43:24.399 --> 01:43:29.239
why the expanding economy also includes trying
to keep your labor costs low part of

1179
01:43:29.359 --> 01:43:32.800
your process of manufacture, whether it's
the raw materials, labor time, whatever

1180
01:43:32.840 --> 01:43:39.560
it is. In our contemporary battle
over immigration, the unionized mercantile interests find

1181
01:43:39.760 --> 01:43:44.920
odd allies in the conservative wing of
the Republican Party. And that is something

1182
01:43:45.000 --> 01:43:50.760
that I found problematic with Pat Buchanan's
presidential run. So now I want to

1183
01:43:50.800 --> 01:43:56.520
add to that a little bit more. Well, I can go into the

1184
01:43:56.600 --> 01:44:01.920
economics of immigration at a different time. But now I want to tell you

1185
01:44:02.000 --> 01:44:16.319
a little bit more about the constitutional
side of things and go beyond just that.

1186
01:44:16.920 --> 01:44:19.319
So let's start talking about Oh,
I have a little thing from the

1187
01:44:19.439 --> 01:44:24.960
rotary here. I'm talking about rotary
in Australia. That's interesting. I went

1188
01:44:25.000 --> 01:44:28.479
to speak there after I went to
Australia. They're just so nice to me.

1189
01:44:28.680 --> 01:44:32.720
Those guys are good guys. I
really appreciate that. So now let's

1190
01:44:32.800 --> 01:44:39.960
go into a little bit more on
the constitutional side of things. I said

1191
01:44:40.640 --> 01:44:44.760
in the preceding arguments about immigration,
it has been noted that the US Constitution

1192
01:44:45.279 --> 01:44:53.399
explicitly grants the federal government power to
control immigration or migration migration after eighteen oh

1193
01:44:53.439 --> 01:44:58.239
eight, and only the states that
existed at the time. I've received some

1194
01:44:58.359 --> 01:45:03.000
criticism for this observation and engaged in
some rewarding friendly debates with some who disagree

1195
01:45:03.079 --> 01:45:08.359
with my analysis. For the record, those who believe the US Constitution grants

1196
01:45:08.399 --> 01:45:13.199
the federal government the power to control
immigration in every state must grapple with a

1197
01:45:13.279 --> 01:45:17.920
few important facts. First. Under
any strict reading of the Constitution, the

1198
01:45:18.039 --> 01:45:25.239
immigration issue is verbally tied to the
important importation of slaves Article I, Section

1199
01:45:25.600 --> 01:45:30.840
nine. According to the Constitution,
Congress was forbidden from regulating the importation of

1200
01:45:30.960 --> 01:45:34.399
slaves or other people into the states
existing at the time, and there was

1201
01:45:34.439 --> 01:45:40.520
a very powerful political reason for this
clause. If it had not been written,

1202
01:45:40.680 --> 01:45:45.279
the Southern states would not have been
likely to approve the Constitution. Here's

1203
01:45:45.319 --> 01:45:49.119
the layout as it stood at the
time of the Founders. By the time

1204
01:45:49.199 --> 01:45:55.840
the Constitution was written, the Northwest
Ordinance had already banned slavery in the Northwest

1205
01:45:56.000 --> 01:46:01.720
territory. Southern agricultural interests were reluctant
to sign on to the Constitution without some

1206
01:46:01.960 --> 01:46:06.800
kind of assurance that their way of
life would not be immediately threatened by northern

1207
01:46:06.880 --> 01:46:13.840
states exercising great power in Congress.
As a result, the famous three fifths

1208
01:46:13.920 --> 01:46:19.000
compromise was soon established, each making
each slave count as three fifths of a

1209
01:46:19.119 --> 01:46:24.800
man for the purpose of congressional representation. And I noted we can discuss the

1210
01:46:24.880 --> 01:46:31.880
disaster of slavery at another time.
After the Constitution was written, the Missouri

1211
01:46:32.079 --> 01:46:40.600
Compromise was achieved, and this is
very important. This set. This compromise

1212
01:46:41.079 --> 01:46:45.399
set a standard for the process of
admission of states from the territories of the

1213
01:46:45.520 --> 01:46:56.439
Louisiana Purchase whereby the northern free territories
and Southern slave territories would alternate in admission.

1214
01:46:57.439 --> 01:47:01.520
If the federal government could set the
rules regards guarding new state importation of

1215
01:47:01.640 --> 01:47:09.039
slaves i e. Immigration, as
they might try to say it out from.

1216
01:47:09.520 --> 01:47:14.760
If they could do this outside of
those original thirteen states, then there

1217
01:47:14.800 --> 01:47:21.399
would be no reason for them to
have had the Missouri compromise. There would

1218
01:47:21.439 --> 01:47:26.760
be no need to decide which kinds
of territories could gain admission in what sequence,

1219
01:47:26.960 --> 01:47:31.920
because the territories themselves, upon becoming
states, could then see Congress place

1220
01:47:32.039 --> 01:47:38.840
restrictions on them regarding slave importation or
general immigration if people wanted to expand it

1221
01:47:38.880 --> 01:47:43.960
beyond slaves. It is unlikely that
the Southern states would have accepted such an

1222
01:47:44.079 --> 01:47:49.319
arrangement when debating the Constitution. What
the South wanted was an assurance that Congress

1223
01:47:49.439 --> 01:47:54.960
would not be able to stop importation
of slaves in any of the future states

1224
01:47:55.000 --> 01:47:59.359
that might be admitted beyond the borders
of the Northwest Territory. If one reads

1225
01:47:59.479 --> 01:48:02.520
Article one, Section nine, he
sees the use of the term of the

1226
01:48:02.680 --> 01:48:10.039
states now existing, and that was
intentional. The exclusion of future states was

1227
01:48:10.199 --> 01:48:14.960
intentional as well. The ninth and
tenth amendments then set the bar higher for

1228
01:48:15.079 --> 01:48:20.119
any assumption that Congress could adopt this
power or make it up Stronger than the

1229
01:48:20.199 --> 01:48:26.199
opinion I offer is the fact that
Thomas Jefferson took this view on immigration in

1230
01:48:26.399 --> 01:48:30.960
seventeen ninety eight, when he forcefully
commented on the Alien and on the Sedition

1231
01:48:31.199 --> 01:48:40.199
acts in the Kentucky Resolutions. Kentucky
Resolution number four quote resolved that alien friends

1232
01:48:40.239 --> 01:48:44.319
are under the jurisdiction and protection of
the laws of the state wherein they are,

1233
01:48:45.000 --> 01:48:47.960
that no power over them has been
delegated to the United States, nor

1234
01:48:48.039 --> 01:48:54.279
prohibited to the individual States, distinct
from their power over citizens, and it

1235
01:48:54.439 --> 01:48:58.640
being true as a general principle,
and one of the amendments of the Constitution

1236
01:48:58.800 --> 01:49:03.039
having also declared that the powers not
delegated to the United States by the Constitution,

1237
01:49:03.479 --> 01:49:10.000
nor prohibited to the States, are
reserved to the States respectively and to

1238
01:49:10.159 --> 01:49:13.560
the people. Therefore, the Act
of the Congress of the United States,

1239
01:49:13.600 --> 01:49:18.000
passed the twenty second day of June
seventeen ninety eight, entitled an Act Concerning

1240
01:49:18.399 --> 01:49:25.520
Aliens, which assumes power over alien
friends not delegated by the Constitution, is

1241
01:49:25.640 --> 01:49:30.560
not law, but is altogether void
and of no force. You often hear

1242
01:49:30.600 --> 01:49:33.199
people talking about the Sedition Act and
how terrible that was to say that you

1243
01:49:33.279 --> 01:49:38.760
can't criticize John Adams, but it's
okay to criticize Thomas Jefferson. And if

1244
01:49:38.800 --> 01:49:42.640
you're a newspaper person, they're going
to arrest you if you criticized John Adams.

1245
01:49:43.560 --> 01:49:47.560
And Jefferson reversed all that paid people
back. Well, they did the

1246
01:49:47.600 --> 01:49:53.479
same thing with the Alien Act.
After he was elected. Jefferson pardoned all

1247
01:49:53.600 --> 01:49:59.359
people captured under the law, and
Congress paid restitution. Later, President Grant

1248
01:49:59.479 --> 01:50:03.920
of all pace people held the same
view. Quote responsibility over immigration can only

1249
01:50:04.039 --> 01:50:08.880
belong with the states, since this
is where the Constitution kept the power,

1250
01:50:09.279 --> 01:50:13.600
he once said in a letter to
Congress. In Texas, the state constitution,

1251
01:50:14.039 --> 01:50:17.560
approved in eighteen sixty nine had an
article in it establishing a Bureau of

1252
01:50:17.680 --> 01:50:26.079
Immigration headed by a Superintendent of Immigration
for the state. Consider this riddle me,

1253
01:50:26.199 --> 01:50:30.159
this batman. If the people of
Texas believed Congress had the power to

1254
01:50:30.239 --> 01:50:34.520
control immigration in the New States,
why would they have bothered to include such

1255
01:50:34.560 --> 01:50:40.880
a provision for their own state government. It's doubtful in the least. In

1256
01:50:41.039 --> 01:50:45.159
numerous Supreme Court cases of the early
nineteenth century, for example Milne v.

1257
01:50:45.439 --> 01:50:51.279
New York, Smith v. Turner, and Norris v. Boston. Participants

1258
01:50:51.520 --> 01:50:59.680
cited numerous laws enacted by the state
legislatures that put restrictions on the kinds of

1259
01:50:59.760 --> 01:51:03.920
peace people such as poppers, that
shipmates could allow in the respective states,

1260
01:51:04.359 --> 01:51:10.279
and many of the laws were passed
after the adoption of the Constitution. There

1261
01:51:10.399 --> 01:51:16.520
was debate as to whether the states
could impose taxes on such imports, or

1262
01:51:16.600 --> 01:51:23.479
if such taxes infringed on Congress's power
to impose levies and tariffs. States can

1263
01:51:23.600 --> 01:51:28.479
impose teriffs but they must get permission
from Congress first, according to the Constitution.

1264
01:51:29.119 --> 01:51:33.199
There was debate about that about putting
a price tag on those imported people.

1265
01:51:33.760 --> 01:51:40.680
There were also controversies about whether such
state taxes could trump federal treaties with

1266
01:51:40.840 --> 01:51:46.079
other nations. But there were many
non monetary restrictions placed by states on the

1267
01:51:46.199 --> 01:51:55.399
immigrants that were imposed by the state
legislatures that were never questioned until the Chi

1268
01:51:55.600 --> 01:52:00.520
Lung v. Freemen in eighteen seventy
five, dated before it was the Supreme

1269
01:52:00.560 --> 01:52:04.960
Court. Malfeasans and congressional politics in
the late eighteen hundreds that brought about the

1270
01:52:05.000 --> 01:52:11.399
federalization of immigration policy. It was
not the US Constitution. This is something

1271
01:52:11.520 --> 01:52:15.239
supposed to conservatives ought to remember when
debating. Now, the next phase,

1272
01:52:15.319 --> 01:52:19.560
as I've sometimes mentioned, the next
phase comes when we get responses from Tom

1273
01:52:19.640 --> 01:52:24.520
tan Credo and Pap you Can and
JD. Hayworth. They've all responded with

1274
01:52:24.560 --> 01:52:27.399
the same thing. They say,
yeah, but Gardner, it's an invasion.

1275
01:52:28.439 --> 01:52:30.960
We are being invaded. Of course, the all inclusive government. You're

1276
01:52:31.039 --> 01:52:33.479
part of the part of it,
whether you like it or not. Social

1277
01:52:33.600 --> 01:52:41.159
contract fallacy of the royal Wei now
is the so called representative or democratic government

1278
01:52:41.520 --> 01:52:44.399
when if you want to be left
alone, you can't be left alone.

1279
01:52:44.840 --> 01:52:46.439
They're going to make you part of
the wei. So, in other words,

1280
01:52:46.760 --> 01:52:51.760
it's a pronoun of aggression. The
royal wi under the state. So

1281
01:52:54.079 --> 01:52:58.520
they say, we are being invaded
the United States, so therefore you've got

1282
01:52:58.640 --> 01:53:00.920
to have some sort of border.
You've got to have protection of the border.

1283
01:53:01.119 --> 01:53:03.840
And I say, okay, look, let's look at your logic,

1284
01:53:03.960 --> 01:53:10.520
let's look at your terminology. And
if the United States thinks that, if

1285
01:53:10.560 --> 01:53:15.159
people of the United States think the
United States plural are being invaded, then

1286
01:53:15.199 --> 01:53:18.680
what is the proper constitutional answer.
JD. Hayworth was a congressman. Tom

1287
01:53:18.760 --> 01:53:23.239
caam Cradle was a congressman. Pat
Buchanan was running for president. More than

1288
01:53:23.279 --> 01:53:28.079
once, they've looked at the constitution. Surely they swore os to the Constitution

1289
01:53:28.239 --> 01:53:31.079
two of the three. So what
do they say, Well, the answer

1290
01:53:31.199 --> 01:53:34.800
is, you declare war against the
nation state that you claim is invading.

1291
01:53:35.439 --> 01:53:40.840
And if these people are not uniformed
combatants from another nation state, you can't

1292
01:53:40.920 --> 01:53:45.760
declare war against those people because they're
not officially part of the government of that

1293
01:53:45.039 --> 01:53:49.399
nation state. So you can't,
in traditional parlance declare war with the capital

1294
01:53:49.600 --> 01:53:57.039
w against those people because they're civilians. So therefore you respond with the second

1295
01:53:57.119 --> 01:54:02.560
phase, which is the president can
lead mercenaries under letters of mark and reprisal.

1296
01:54:02.920 --> 01:54:05.680
So if you can't declare war against
the nation state, like let's say

1297
01:54:05.720 --> 01:54:10.720
they don't want to declare war against
Mexico, but you're seeing people coming in

1298
01:54:10.840 --> 01:54:15.079
from Mexico through Panama and so on
up through Mexico, whatever, swimming over

1299
01:54:15.560 --> 01:54:19.159
or not even swimming but rafting over
from Cuba. Whatever. Let's say you

1300
01:54:19.239 --> 01:54:21.600
want to stop this group, that
group, all the groups I don't know

1301
01:54:21.840 --> 01:54:27.159
right, Well, then you can't
declare war against the nation state, but

1302
01:54:27.359 --> 01:54:30.840
you can have Congress issue letters of
mark and reprisal, which lets the president

1303
01:54:31.159 --> 01:54:36.720
hire mercenaries to then go after those
people. Okay, they haven't done either,

1304
01:54:36.920 --> 01:54:42.279
clearly, right, So what is
the only other alternative. The only

1305
01:54:42.479 --> 01:54:46.720
other alternative is what I mentioned about
Greg Abbott and how the Constitution you saw

1306
01:54:46.800 --> 01:54:56.560
that in the MRCT video. The
Constitution does allow for federal so called federal

1307
01:54:56.640 --> 01:55:00.119
troops that would be the militia,
to be called up to go into a

1308
01:55:00.239 --> 01:55:05.520
state if the governor, if the
legislature of the state calls for help to

1309
01:55:06.000 --> 01:55:15.840
protect their constitutional form of government against
invasion, against insurrection, rebellion, or

1310
01:55:15.000 --> 01:55:20.239
violence. Okay, so if we
look at the Constitution, let's now go

1311
01:55:20.439 --> 01:55:30.840
over into article Let's see Article four. I'll just read the pertinent clause for

1312
01:55:30.039 --> 01:55:34.800
you. Okay, so you can
probably see the scrolling on my face.

1313
01:55:40.640 --> 01:55:44.760
Article four, Section four here it
is all right. Now again, I'm

1314
01:55:44.800 --> 01:55:46.720
an anarchist, I'm a voluntarist.
I never signed this document, and just

1315
01:55:46.800 --> 01:55:50.199
saying, hey, if you just
want to play fair, you know,

1316
01:55:50.399 --> 01:55:55.159
even in this unfair world of government
imposing it on me, at least just

1317
01:55:55.279 --> 01:55:58.279
look at the rules, just do
it this way. So this is the

1318
01:55:58.520 --> 01:56:02.840
only way that the federal troops could
be brought in on the border. So

1319
01:56:02.960 --> 01:56:08.279
right now, the border patrol even
fifty seventy five miles inside Arizona, pulling

1320
01:56:08.319 --> 01:56:11.279
people over as they're trying to get
to work, being able to control the

1321
01:56:11.399 --> 01:56:15.199
dogs to jump on the cars.
The dog got a signal, so now

1322
01:56:15.239 --> 01:56:17.399
I can check your car. Contrary
to the Fourth Amendment, none of it.

1323
01:56:17.520 --> 01:56:23.920
It's absurdly unconstitutional, it's laughably unconstitutional. It's a farce. It's an

1324
01:56:24.000 --> 01:56:29.239
absolute clown show game. But they
are wearing guns. So here it is

1325
01:56:29.399 --> 01:56:32.760
Section four, Article four. Section
four. The United States shall guarantee to

1326
01:56:32.840 --> 01:56:38.760
every state in this Union a republican
form of government, and shall protect each

1327
01:56:38.840 --> 01:56:45.560
of them against invasion, declaration of
war right and on application of the legislature

1328
01:56:45.720 --> 01:56:48.800
of that state, or of the
executive of that state, if the legislature

1329
01:56:48.880 --> 01:56:57.079
cannot be convened, against domestic violence. So this actually is what Greg Abbott

1330
01:56:57.119 --> 01:57:03.960
did last year. He asked Joe
Biden to protect Texas. Otherwise it's supposed

1331
01:57:03.960 --> 01:57:09.800
to be Greg Abbott. And as
we saw one other sort of echo of

1332
01:57:09.920 --> 01:57:15.239
constitutionalism a couple years ago, even
Ron DeSantis said he had agreed to supply

1333
01:57:15.680 --> 01:57:20.960
militia units National Guard to go to
Texas to help the protection of the border

1334
01:57:21.079 --> 01:57:28.520
in Texas. Greg Abbott has officially
asked Joe Biden to carry out and he

1335
01:57:28.600 --> 01:57:31.439
hasn't even cited Article four, Section
four, but he's just generally asked and

1336
01:57:31.520 --> 01:57:35.760
it conforms, it comports with anybody
who wants to be strict on the wording.

1337
01:57:35.880 --> 01:57:42.119
It does work. He's and that's
on their constitutional level. He's asking

1338
01:57:42.279 --> 01:57:46.600
for help on the border to protect
them against the violence and the instability there.

1339
01:57:47.319 --> 01:57:51.880
Joe Biden has not responded properly,
and in fact, they have worked

1340
01:57:53.039 --> 01:57:57.880
to stop Greg Abbott, who just
last week was going to call up state

1341
01:57:58.319 --> 01:58:02.920
police units to help on the border. The Department of Homeland Security and the

1342
01:58:03.119 --> 01:58:08.479
Justice Department are trying to stop Greg
Gabbott from handling things on the border.

1343
01:58:08.600 --> 01:58:14.119
Right now. You've got the central
government Conservatives. If you think that you're

1344
01:58:14.199 --> 01:58:20.079
going to have the border patrol being
done your way, contrary to your claim

1345
01:58:20.119 --> 01:58:24.680
that you are constitutionalists, Let's say
you're willing to let that drop and say,

1346
01:58:24.720 --> 01:58:28.760
well, yeah, I'm a constitutionalist. Accept Let's say you're comfortable with

1347
01:58:28.880 --> 01:58:33.079
that even if you're comfortable with that, the consequentialist practical outcome of what you

1348
01:58:33.199 --> 01:58:39.800
are proposing and aspiring to is that
when somebody gets in there and you don't

1349
01:58:39.920 --> 01:58:44.319
like him, the policy's going to
change. Do you really really want to

1350
01:58:44.439 --> 01:58:50.720
have some unconstitutional system of central command
and control like Soviet Russia deciding what happens

1351
01:58:50.760 --> 01:58:56.079
on the border to the extent now
where Joe Biden is giving people phone apps

1352
01:58:56.439 --> 01:59:01.119
to get on planes to fly to
the Midwest, this is what your central

1353
01:59:01.399 --> 01:59:05.840
your focus on the central authority,
has rot. You're not gonna get it

1354
01:59:06.199 --> 01:59:11.239
a lot better. You thought Donald
Trump was gonna do something. He's singing

1355
01:59:11.319 --> 01:59:14.840
the same thing. He's whistling the
same tune as he whistled before he got

1356
01:59:14.880 --> 01:59:16.720
elected the first time. Oh,
we're gonna put up the wall. It's

1357
01:59:16.760 --> 01:59:21.560
gonna be the best wall. Meanwhile, he's occupying. He was occupying Syria.

1358
01:59:21.920 --> 01:59:25.840
We got it there to Syria.
We're on the best oil. It's

1359
01:59:25.920 --> 01:59:28.159
really nice. I use it in
my hair to keep it down in the

1360
01:59:28.199 --> 01:59:30.720
wind. It's really good. Best
occupation of all time, except for the

1361
01:59:30.800 --> 01:59:34.520
Afghan occupation, which I helped end. But you know, we let it

1362
01:59:34.640 --> 01:59:39.079
go on. We didn't just pull
out immediately, which we should have constitutionally.

1363
01:59:39.560 --> 01:59:44.760
This reason is absurd. The whole
thing is a farce. So that

1364
01:59:45.039 --> 01:59:47.560
Article four, Section four is the
only out. And again, if we

1365
01:59:47.640 --> 01:59:51.119
look at the breaking news about this
Mexican meeting, what does it mean?

1366
01:59:51.239 --> 01:59:55.279
It doesn't really mean that much,
right, we don't know what's going on,

1367
01:59:55.479 --> 01:59:59.520
but it can signal a learning opportunity. Right, this is the leap

1368
01:59:59.680 --> 02:00:01.560
point. This is when you're at
the punk rock show and somebody's doing a

1369
02:00:01.600 --> 02:00:06.239
stage dive, iggy Pop's jumping out
at you. You got something happening there,

1370
02:00:08.000 --> 02:00:14.039
and it's a big deal. It's
a very very big deal, whether

1371
02:00:14.159 --> 02:00:15.720
or not. You know, I'm
not gonna win my arguments, right,

1372
02:00:15.800 --> 02:00:19.039
I'm not gonna win politically. I'll
win the argument, but I won't win

1373
02:00:19.119 --> 02:00:23.439
politically. I'm not going to see
anything change. But for you know,

1374
02:00:23.600 --> 02:00:27.399
I get satisfaction out of just trying
to get the information out there. Maybe

1375
02:00:27.439 --> 02:00:31.399
that's why I've enjoyed teaching. You
know, I think it's great you make

1376
02:00:31.439 --> 02:00:33.520
a connection with somebody and they say, oh, yeah, you know,

1377
02:00:33.760 --> 02:00:36.800
okay, that's cool, And it's
not necessarily it's a satisfaction of like,

1378
02:00:38.199 --> 02:00:40.920
yeah, I think I've proven my
point. I think everybody might get that

1379
02:00:41.000 --> 02:00:45.399
satisfaction, but it's more in I
think I've presented it in a in a

1380
02:00:45.760 --> 02:00:50.600
logical and understandable way, and maybe
somebody else will find this valuable. Right.

1381
02:00:50.880 --> 02:00:56.000
I think I'm holding my side up
as it might be holding up my

1382
02:00:56.239 --> 02:01:00.399
side for truth. Right. So
yeah, I've got my fingers crossed that

1383
02:01:00.560 --> 02:01:06.840
people will like that. And yeah, we will see how things play out

1384
02:01:06.920 --> 02:01:12.520
with the with the elections. I
wouldn't expect much whether it's Trump or Biden.

1385
02:01:13.079 --> 02:01:16.840
And please don't forget you know,
Trump's emergency order in March thirteenth to

1386
02:01:16.920 --> 02:01:21.319
twenty twenty, that's what brought up
so many of the lockdowns the state legislators

1387
02:01:23.039 --> 02:01:28.640
and state governors imposed with the Model
State Health Emergency Plans, and you know,

1388
02:01:28.880 --> 02:01:32.560
massive infringements on the Bill of Rights, added onto what they did after

1389
02:01:32.680 --> 02:01:38.000
nine to eleven with the so called
Patriot Act and even the FISA, the

1390
02:01:38.119 --> 02:01:42.880
FISA Act, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance
Act, and the Drug War, all

1391
02:01:43.000 --> 02:01:46.920
those things, year after year,
layer of tarnish upon layer of tarnish on

1392
02:01:47.159 --> 02:01:53.479
what seemed to be that shining babble
of the US Constitution. You know,

1393
02:01:53.600 --> 02:01:58.279
let's take an opportunity give you a
little more wonderful music from David Knight.

1394
02:01:59.039 --> 02:02:02.680
And when we return, we're gonna
be joined by our guest, none other

1395
02:02:02.800 --> 02:03:09.520
than James boulevard Erbit listening to the
David Knight Show. Wow, wonderful stuff

1396
02:03:09.560 --> 02:03:13.159
from David Knight. Remember you can
get the Christmas album over there a couple

1397
02:03:13.159 --> 02:03:15.520
of days after Christmas, but they
had the Feast of Saint Stephen's was it

1398
02:03:15.640 --> 02:03:21.000
yesterday? So you know, keep
the spirit alive everybody, and remember anything

1399
02:03:21.039 --> 02:03:26.279
you contribute over at David Knight's Rock
Finn channel, everything goes straight to the

1400
02:03:26.319 --> 02:03:29.880
show. I'm Gardner Goldsmith guest hosting, and I just you know, it

1401
02:03:30.039 --> 02:03:32.479
just is an amazing and wonderful pleasure
to be here with all of you in

1402
02:03:32.600 --> 02:03:38.399
the chats online wherever you might be
in. Thanks again on the backside of

1403
02:03:38.439 --> 02:03:43.199
Twitter at guard Goldsmith for the kind
words from yesterday's show. I really appreciated

1404
02:03:43.239 --> 02:03:45.840
that, and I want to say
a big couple words of appreciation to Karen

1405
02:03:45.880 --> 02:03:50.439
Carpenter and the Rock Finn Chat.
She mentions that satisfaction of teaching. One

1406
02:03:50.520 --> 02:03:54.640
day, I gave a lecture about
heart attacks to second graders because they were

1407
02:03:54.720 --> 02:03:59.000
curious about it. I drew pictures
of the circuitory system. It was spur

1408
02:03:59.079 --> 02:04:00.920
of the moment, but what a
who The students were enthralled. And some

1409
02:04:01.199 --> 02:04:05.760
also some great comments from Wes Robertson
talking about what Greg Abbott can do.

1410
02:04:06.159 --> 02:04:11.760
Abbott can end the illegals coming through
his state anytime, constitutionally just by nullifying

1411
02:04:11.800 --> 02:04:15.079
federal dictates. Well again, you
know, I hope that the outlines they

1412
02:04:15.119 --> 02:04:18.319
gave about the Kentucky resolutions. And
James Madison also in letters mentioned that it's

1413
02:04:18.439 --> 02:04:23.840
supposed to be a state purview.
That eighteen seventy five chaw Long decision is

1414
02:04:24.079 --> 02:04:27.640
as bad as the dred Scott decision, as bad as the Roe v.

1415
02:04:27.760 --> 02:04:31.239
Wade decision. It warps the perception
of the constitution and so many people start

1416
02:04:31.319 --> 02:04:33.960
to think that that's the way it
should be. And then of course everybody

1417
02:04:34.039 --> 02:04:40.720
starts to argue over the one size
must fits all. So very interesting stuff.

1418
02:04:41.039 --> 02:04:44.600
I really want to thank everyone in
the rumble chat as well. That

1419
02:04:45.640 --> 02:04:48.399
one person says, too bad Bitchoot
doesn't have the money behind them that Rumble

1420
02:04:48.479 --> 02:04:51.960
has. Bitchhoot has always been solid. I like Bitchoot as well, and

1421
02:04:55.119 --> 02:05:00.800
high boost mentioned Trump, and he
says Trump used Facebook twenty sixteen to win,

1422
02:05:00.920 --> 02:05:02.520
but it was used against him in
twenty twenty. Kind of funny.

1423
02:05:02.800 --> 02:05:08.279
Well, yeah, you know,
I think it's going to be very interesting

1424
02:05:08.399 --> 02:05:12.439
to see what happens in this next
election. But I have no vested interest

1425
02:05:12.520 --> 02:05:15.000
in this whatsoever. I do want
to welcome, however, a man who

1426
02:05:15.079 --> 02:05:18.880
has been watching this longan than I
have, and has been one of my

1427
02:05:18.960 --> 02:05:21.800
big heroes for a long time.
He's our guest now on the David Night

1428
02:05:21.840 --> 02:05:27.960
Show. He is James Bouvart,
coming to us from just outside the swamp

1429
02:05:28.039 --> 02:05:31.039
of Washington, d C. On
The David Knight Show. James, welcome

1430
02:05:31.119 --> 02:05:34.920
to the program. I see the
symbol for you. I think we've got

1431
02:05:35.000 --> 02:05:41.119
audio and welcome and congratulations on your
new book. Last, writes James Beauvard.

1432
02:05:42.399 --> 02:05:45.199
Thanks very much, thanks for having
me on, having me back on,

1433
02:05:45.439 --> 02:05:49.439
and thanks for plugging the book.
And yeah, I was trying to

1434
02:05:49.479 --> 02:05:54.760
figure out whether or not to use
the video today and I thought it might

1435
02:05:54.920 --> 02:06:01.039
overwhelm viewers that have two photogenet guys
on the screen. Well, thank you,

1436
02:06:01.319 --> 02:06:04.319
thank you, James. I don't
have the beard. I couldn't grow

1437
02:06:04.359 --> 02:06:08.479
the beard the way you do.
But yes, I know we would probably

1438
02:06:09.439 --> 02:06:12.920
count your blessings on the beard.
Isn't that what? Isn't that what the

1439
02:06:13.399 --> 02:06:16.039
Ministry of Truth is all about.
Nina Jenkovitch was there to stop us handsome

1440
02:06:16.119 --> 02:06:20.279
guys from getting too much airtime,
right, I don't know and Tomy what

1441
02:06:20.479 --> 02:06:24.600
she was supposed to do, but
she was. I mean, she was

1442
02:06:24.680 --> 02:06:30.319
great for comic relief. I mean, it's always good to have to have

1443
02:06:30.640 --> 02:06:40.000
a woman who's whose videos included who
asking who exactly? Kind of filled the

1444
02:06:40.079 --> 02:06:45.880
blank to become rich and powerful.
Yes, I wouldn't use that verb because

1445
02:06:45.920 --> 02:06:48.680
you've got a family friendly so but
it was great to see online. It's

1446
02:06:48.760 --> 02:06:53.800
like, you know, I guess
you know the Biden White House. When

1447
02:06:53.840 --> 02:06:58.359
they were vetting her for that appointment, forgot to ask one important question,

1448
02:06:58.920 --> 02:07:10.560
does she sing? Maybe they'll have
to put that on the application for him

1449
02:07:10.640 --> 02:07:13.600
from now on? Right? Well, the nice thing is once they booted

1450
02:07:13.680 --> 02:07:15.439
her, everybody thought the Ministry of
Truth was done, but it wasn't.

1451
02:07:15.680 --> 02:07:21.760
They brought in Michael Chertoff. Well, yeah, I mean, it's just

1452
02:07:23.039 --> 02:07:28.079
it's amazing that he would have any
credibility in washing after the things he's done,

1453
02:07:28.119 --> 02:07:32.039
and the lobby lobbing he's done.
But uh no, I mean you've

1454
02:07:32.079 --> 02:07:34.840
heard. I'm sorry, go ahead, No, No, I heard Jim

1455
02:07:34.880 --> 02:07:39.680
that he wants people to pass through
an airport scanner before they can get online

1456
02:07:39.720 --> 02:07:43.159
to speak. I think that's his
new gimmick, just to saw more scanners.

1457
02:07:43.920 --> 02:07:45.399
Yeah, well, you know you're
got to find some use for those

1458
02:07:45.479 --> 02:07:50.600
damn airport scanners. Hell haven't done
any good as far as catching weapons and

1459
02:07:50.720 --> 02:07:55.560
bombs. So I mean, I've
you know, I've had I've had some

1460
02:07:56.079 --> 02:08:00.399
memorable experiences for those scanners with the
TSA. And that's right. I've tried

1461
02:08:00.439 --> 02:08:03.399
to settle accounts. Hey, I
tell you, James Bovard is our guest.

1462
02:08:03.439 --> 02:08:09.000
Folks, go to Jimbouvard dot com
and follow him at Jim Bouvard on

1463
02:08:09.279 --> 02:08:13.399
Twitter. And the new book is
great. And I know that you wrote

1464
02:08:13.399 --> 02:08:18.439
about your recent experiences with the TSA. It hasn't changed. That's not any

1465
02:08:18.520 --> 02:08:22.880
more secure. We know that every
few years they would have their studies on

1466
02:08:22.960 --> 02:08:26.479
how many bomb like materials would go
through, and even ABC News would do

1467
02:08:26.560 --> 02:08:30.239
their own studies. It never changed, despite the increasing budget, despite the

1468
02:08:30.760 --> 02:08:35.800
daily, minute by minute, person
by person encroachments, into the Fourth Amendment,

1469
02:08:35.880 --> 02:08:39.720
the Fifth Amendment, the sixth Amendment, the Eighth Amendment, so many

1470
02:08:39.840 --> 02:08:43.439
things. And that lets us look
at Last Rights. And I want to

1471
02:08:43.439 --> 02:08:46.159
bring this up to all the audience, everybody. Last Rights the latest from

1472
02:08:46.239 --> 02:08:50.159
James Beauvard and has a picture of
the Capitol building with the razor wire and

1473
02:08:50.239 --> 02:08:54.039
the fence just in the foreground and
of course on the back. I showed

1474
02:08:54.079 --> 02:08:58.640
this at the start of the show. Everybody, the armed goons protecting our

1475
02:08:58.760 --> 02:09:03.039
liberties. Isn't that? I'm sorry, They're protecting the politicians from we people

1476
02:09:03.199 --> 02:09:05.560
they tell us are free. James, You've got a lot in this book.

1477
02:09:07.640 --> 02:09:09.399
First of all, I know you've
been working on this for a long

1478
02:09:09.520 --> 02:09:15.039
time. How long ago did you
start to think, Okay, I'm going

1479
02:09:15.079 --> 02:09:18.000
to get this book out, because
this is a crucial time to have this

1480
02:09:18.119 --> 02:09:22.279
book released, shortly before COVID.
Actually, I was trying to tie a

1481
02:09:22.359 --> 02:09:26.600
lot of things together that I've been
writing about for years. I mean,

1482
02:09:26.680 --> 02:09:33.359
this is this is a flashback to
nineteen ninety three, ninety four when Lost

1483
02:09:33.479 --> 02:09:37.520
Rights came out. The book that
preceded this, it's and it was a

1484
02:09:37.640 --> 02:09:41.920
roundup of a lot of the federal
state and local atrocities and abuses back then,

1485
02:09:43.760 --> 02:09:46.600
and folks said I was much too
cynical, And it's kind of like,

1486
02:09:46.760 --> 02:09:50.560
you know, I don't think so. But it's sad to look back

1487
02:09:50.640 --> 02:09:54.359
in the nineteen nineties almost as like
if it was a golden era for freedom.

1488
02:09:54.920 --> 02:09:58.279
Oh isn't that? It's bizarre,
isn't it. I mean, it's

1489
02:09:58.359 --> 02:10:01.359
like it's like going, it's going. It's like going from one abusive relationship

1490
02:10:01.640 --> 02:10:05.159
into a worse relationship. And let
you know, and then you say yourself,

1491
02:10:05.279 --> 02:10:07.760
gee, I I had it better
off when I was, you know,

1492
02:10:07.800 --> 02:10:11.279
when I was getting beat up this
way. It's ridiculous. It's like

1493
02:10:11.359 --> 02:10:16.560
going like drowning in water versus drawing
a quicksand it gets worse. It just

1494
02:10:16.680 --> 02:10:20.199
gets worse. And and you know, they keep using these rationales where the

1495
02:10:20.319 --> 02:10:24.600
government gets caught at something. You
know, we see James Clapper testifying in

1496
02:10:24.680 --> 02:10:30.239
front of Ron Wyden, and Widen
already knows that they're surveiling people because they've

1497
02:10:30.279 --> 02:10:33.239
got this snowed in information. It
just hasn't gone public yet, and all

1498
02:10:33.279 --> 02:10:37.800
of a sudden boom. What happens, he asked him, is the NSA

1499
02:10:37.319 --> 02:10:43.359
collecting data on people? No,
and then Ryden gives it. Widen gives

1500
02:10:43.399 --> 02:10:48.439
him a chance to get out of
possibly perjuring himself, which he just did,

1501
02:10:48.079 --> 02:10:54.359
and he says no, and he
said, well not knowingly, like

1502
02:10:54.520 --> 02:10:58.119
no, you were doing it knowingly. That's what the is about. That's

1503
02:10:58.159 --> 02:11:01.039
what the whole face the thing is
about. And it's not just Section seven

1504
02:11:01.119 --> 02:11:05.279
oh two. It's a very concept
of it's not in the Constitution. It's

1505
02:11:05.319 --> 02:11:09.920
strictly prohibited. And the prohibition doesn't
mean that it only applies to the government

1506
02:11:11.239 --> 02:11:15.600
invading Americans rights. It's anybody's rights. They don't have the ability to scan

1507
02:11:15.800 --> 02:11:18.520
somebody in Sweden, just like they
don't have the ability to scan somebody in

1508
02:11:18.600 --> 02:11:22.399
New Hampshire. They just don't have
the power. It's amazing to me,

1509
02:11:22.840 --> 02:11:26.319
James, you have so many things
here. Can I run through a little

1510
02:11:26.359 --> 02:11:31.000
bit? Thank you so much.
Pardon the spectacles here. I just wanted

1511
02:11:31.039 --> 02:11:33.439
to make sure I look like Charlie
Robinson, the great Charlie Robinson, a

1512
02:11:33.520 --> 02:11:39.680
great podcaster, and so in the
book Everybody just released from the Libertarian Institute,

1513
02:11:39.680 --> 02:11:43.159
and I hope you will check it
out at the Libertarian Institute website.

1514
02:11:46.279 --> 02:11:50.880
As you mentioned here, you have
in the introduction tyranny comes to main street.

1515
02:11:52.479 --> 02:11:58.239
Americans today have the freedom to be
freedom in quotes, and this is

1516
02:11:58.600 --> 02:12:03.600
very very important to me, James. And I'm so glad that having you

1517
02:12:03.680 --> 02:12:05.119
know, as a teenager, I
picked up one of your books. You

1518
02:12:05.199 --> 02:12:09.359
know, I'm like ten years behind
you or something like that, and I'm

1519
02:12:09.399 --> 02:12:11.119
like, I like this guy.
And now I know you, and I'm

1520
02:12:11.199 --> 02:12:16.279
like, I like this guy.
And you always Yeah, you keep getting

1521
02:12:16.319 --> 02:12:18.479
the bat on the leather, you
keep hitting it. Man, It's great.

1522
02:12:20.640 --> 02:12:22.680
Okay, that's a new Hampster phrase. Yeah, absolutely is. My

1523
02:12:22.800 --> 02:12:28.439
daddy used to play for the Red
Sox, their farm team. Yeah,

1524
02:12:28.600 --> 02:12:31.000
yeah, they used to do.
They were called the Hooligan Squad. It

1525
02:12:31.079 --> 02:12:33.560
was before World War Two. And
he never Yeah. Yeah, it was

1526
02:12:33.600 --> 02:12:39.119
interesting. Americans today, you say, have a quote freedom end quote to

1527
02:12:39.239 --> 02:12:48.520
be fleeced, groped, wire tapped, injected, censored, ticketed, disarmed,

1528
02:12:48.000 --> 02:12:56.279
beaten, vilified, detained, and
maybe shot by government agents. Politicians

1529
02:12:56.359 --> 02:13:03.920
are hell bent on protecting citizens against
everything. Accept Uncle Sam. It's that

1530
02:13:03.000 --> 02:13:09.560
wonderful social contract, isn't it?
As America? Is America becoming a cage

1531
02:13:09.159 --> 02:13:16.439
keeper democracy where voters merely ratify the
latest demolition of their rights and liberties.

1532
02:13:18.199 --> 02:13:24.239
And you cover in this book.
It's not just a wide array. It's

1533
02:13:24.279 --> 02:13:30.680
as if you're using a logical syllogism
from point A down to point fifteen.

1534
02:13:30.800 --> 02:13:35.640
What letter is that? You know? M something like that. You talk

1535
02:13:35.720 --> 02:13:43.600
about seizure fever, the war on
gun owners, licensed to kill, the

1536
02:13:43.720 --> 02:13:50.880
COVID crackdown, catastrophe, School's gone
wild, ten thousand czars, subsidies and

1537
02:13:52.119 --> 02:13:56.960
subjugation dominate, and yeah, be
careful what you wish for. States and

1538
02:13:58.319 --> 02:14:03.920
corporations dominate, intimidate, control,
taxation and tyranny. No place to hide,

1539
02:14:05.560 --> 02:14:09.640
see no evil democracy, mindless ministry
of truth, ah, the Singing

1540
02:14:11.000 --> 02:14:18.520
Singing Spirit, Spirit of Nanny Jenkowitz, American Gestapo, ronamok and last Chance

1541
02:14:18.560 --> 02:14:22.560
for Liberty. Concluding things with tons
of endnotes. So James, you put

1542
02:14:22.600 --> 02:14:26.479
this together, it's a lot of
work. In addition to the articles you

1543
02:14:26.560 --> 02:14:31.079
write. I don't know how many
articles you write every week. Do you

1544
02:14:31.439 --> 02:14:33.399
have a certain set number that you
put out every week? James No,

1545
02:14:35.520 --> 02:14:39.720
I'm you know, with the book
being done, I'm aspiring tout have three

1546
02:14:39.840 --> 02:14:43.600
or four out for week. But
I have a question for you on the

1547
02:14:43.640 --> 02:14:48.640
book is that a paperback or a
hardbacked version. This is the hardcover Okay,

1548
02:14:48.720 --> 02:14:50.439
okay, because I haven't seen that. I was trying to find it.

1549
02:14:50.600 --> 02:14:54.960
I mean, Amazon was supposed to
have it and they you know,

1550
02:14:54.079 --> 02:15:00.239
I don't know, but so where
did you order that from? I can't

1551
02:15:00.239 --> 02:15:03.359
remember if I got this through the
Libertarian Institute website or I went to Amazon

1552
02:15:05.720 --> 02:15:09.119
just so I could get it shipped
over more quickly. Yeah. Well,

1553
02:15:09.079 --> 02:15:11.960
you know, it looks good.
I'm just I was trying to get some

1554
02:15:13.079 --> 02:15:16.920
hardbacks and I've got paperbacks, but
I will track those down. Oh,

1555
02:15:18.119 --> 02:15:22.359
this is absolutely fantastic, James.
I got a few of the items I'd

1556
02:15:22.439 --> 02:15:26.279
like to discuss with you, and
I've bookmarked each one far away. Okay,

1557
02:15:26.439 --> 02:15:28.199
we've got chapter three, the War
on gun owners. Of course,

1558
02:15:28.239 --> 02:15:33.039
I was talking about the way that
so called red flag laws or contrary to

1559
02:15:33.199 --> 02:15:37.319
half the Bill of Rights, punishment
without any trial, Second Amendment, third

1560
02:15:37.319 --> 02:15:43.399
Amendment, fourth Amendment, fifth Amendment, sixth Amendment. Then we've got license

1561
02:15:43.479 --> 02:15:48.399
to kill. And this is really
something else. It goes back to the

1562
02:15:48.520 --> 02:15:54.720
nineties a lot of different things with
the Justice Department and how so called reform

1563
02:15:56.239 --> 02:16:00.760
was never actually instituted and as they
often do. The reform that they claim

1564
02:16:00.840 --> 02:16:05.960
actually give them permission to do even
worse things to us. Then we're talking

1565
02:16:07.000 --> 02:16:13.640
about the American Gestapo run amok.
That is the FBI. So if you'd

1566
02:16:13.720 --> 02:16:16.760
like to pick any one of those
for our audience, and if anyone has

1567
02:16:16.800 --> 02:16:18.920
any questions for James Bouvard, put
it in the Rock Fin or Rumble Chad.

1568
02:16:20.239 --> 02:16:24.199
And if you're watching on David Knight's
Twitter feed, I can also check

1569
02:16:24.239 --> 02:16:26.880
those in a little while, but
we'll go with Rock Fin and Rumble Chad.

1570
02:16:26.199 --> 02:16:28.399
James, is there any one of
those you'd like to hit first?

1571
02:16:30.920 --> 02:16:35.920
You know, I don't have any
specific preference on the FBI the American Gestapo.

1572
02:16:37.120 --> 02:16:41.120
That was a phrase from President Truman
right in his diary, I think

1573
02:16:41.200 --> 02:16:45.319
in late nineteen forty five, maybe
forty six. He said he was worried

1574
02:16:45.360 --> 02:16:50.360
that the FBI was becoming a Gestapo
and that America did not need that.

1575
02:16:50.520 --> 02:16:54.959
That was just after the defeat of
Nazi Germany. Yeah, I see here,

1576
02:16:56.600 --> 02:17:01.360
we want no gestapo or secret police. FBI is trending in that direction.

1577
02:17:01.079 --> 02:17:05.360
Nineteen forty five you wrote, yep, yep, And that's so he

1578
02:17:05.520 --> 02:17:11.600
was aware of the damage of the
danger, and other politicians have had some

1579
02:17:11.799 --> 02:17:16.959
very eloquent statements on that over the
subsequent decades. But the FBI, you

1580
02:17:16.040 --> 02:17:20.959
know, still has vast unchecked power. The FBI tried to throw the twenty

1581
02:17:22.120 --> 02:17:26.840
sixteen presidential election to Hillary Clinton.
The FBI had a huge role in helping

1582
02:17:26.719 --> 02:17:31.120
Joe Biden win the twenty twenty election. And I don't know, you know,

1583
02:17:31.239 --> 02:17:35.239
there hasn't been any effective effort that
I know of to put a lease

1584
02:17:35.360 --> 02:17:39.840
on the FBI for the twenty twenty
twenty four presidential election. So you know,

1585
02:17:41.319 --> 02:17:43.879
yeah, I don't see how I
don't see how democracy survives this.

1586
02:17:46.120 --> 02:17:50.000
Well, you know, it's amazing
because you can roll back so fluidly in

1587
02:17:50.120 --> 02:17:54.440
conversation to some of those things,
and every one of those things you mentioned

1588
02:17:54.520 --> 02:17:58.760
the twenty sixteen right, So one
of the things on which I was reporting

1589
02:17:58.799 --> 02:18:03.799
an MRCTVS was the so called DNC
hack. Right. We know that the

1590
02:18:03.920 --> 02:18:09.280
DNC didn't give the computer to the
FBI. Initially, they gave it to

1591
02:18:09.639 --> 02:18:13.719
CrowdStrike. CrowdStrike run by this guy
Aparamov or something like that. I remember

1592
02:18:13.760 --> 02:18:18.479
the Atlantic Council. They came out
with their report which is absolutely ridiculous.

1593
02:18:18.559 --> 02:18:22.280
Bill Benni has mentioned that there's no
way that the data could have been transferred

1594
02:18:22.280 --> 02:18:24.920
as quickly as it was transferred if
it was done through phone lines. It

1595
02:18:26.360 --> 02:18:30.559
had to have been done on site
with data sticks, flash drives. And

1596
02:18:31.360 --> 02:18:35.719
then this guy aproa Vamach or whatever
comes out and says, oh, it

1597
02:18:35.840 --> 02:18:43.959
was the Russians, and that entire
Russian the Russians interference Russian thing carried through

1598
02:18:43.520 --> 02:18:48.520
as the Portman Murphy bill was circulating
in twenty sixteen and got pasted in that

1599
02:18:48.680 --> 02:18:54.040
last NDAA that Obama signed in December
of twenty sixteen, which created the Portman

1600
02:18:54.120 --> 02:18:58.399
Murphy Countering Foreign Propaganda Act, which
helped give a lot of this money to

1601
02:18:58.639 --> 02:19:07.120
places like News Guard and Election Guard
and all these different agencies that we found

1602
02:19:07.200 --> 02:19:11.239
were actually being funded by the FEDS. Simultaneous to that, we see the

1603
02:19:11.319 --> 02:19:18.280
FEDS now hiding information about like the
Hunter Biden laptop and literally reaching out to

1604
02:19:18.360 --> 02:19:22.079
the New York Times to say,
don't talk about this thing that we know

1605
02:19:22.280 --> 02:19:28.040
the hard drive had the chain of
possession already set up. They knew it

1606
02:19:28.280 --> 02:19:31.920
was authentic, but they didn't want
people to know about this. And that

1607
02:19:31.159 --> 02:19:37.040
is that's one of the softer things, but it had incredible implications, and

1608
02:19:37.159 --> 02:19:39.719
I was amazed that many people were
unaware of the FBI's role in that.

1609
02:19:41.840 --> 02:19:43.879
Yeah, I mean that's something the
New York posted great work on and they

1610
02:19:43.920 --> 02:19:50.879
have dogged that issue very effectively.
It's it's frustrating to see how much yes,

1611
02:19:50.040 --> 02:19:54.559
the government still gets away with and
talking to folks who were moderates,

1612
02:19:54.719 --> 02:20:01.680
liberals, democrats, or even undecided, their knowledge base on these scandals is

1613
02:20:03.000 --> 02:20:07.159
very low. And it's sort of
like caught a conservative about the torture scandals,

1614
02:20:07.239 --> 02:20:13.200
like what that never happened? Right, So it's just you know,

1615
02:20:13.399 --> 02:20:18.600
and this is part of how the
how the outrage is snowball, and you

1616
02:20:18.680 --> 02:20:22.719
know, they turned to precedence and
there's almost no way to put a leash

1617
02:20:22.760 --> 02:20:26.440
on them. It's amazing, you
know, we know that prior to say

1618
02:20:26.520 --> 02:20:31.079
this contemporary era, we might be
looking out a twenty sixteen, there were

1619
02:20:31.120 --> 02:20:33.319
all sorts of problems with the FBI, as we know, you know,

1620
02:20:33.440 --> 02:20:39.840
whether it was the Black Panthers,
Martin Luther King Junior, and so many

1621
02:20:39.879 --> 02:20:45.239
of the different things that were instituted
with the creation of the FBI right on

1622
02:20:45.360 --> 02:20:50.440
through. It's always been very very
sketchy. It's always been something where the

1623
02:20:50.639 --> 02:20:54.719
FBI, on the surface carried this
sort of mantle of pride and all this

1624
02:20:54.959 --> 02:20:58.719
is and a lot of the guys
we go into the FBI think I'm going

1625
02:20:58.760 --> 02:21:01.479
to do the right thing. But
there have always been very dark factions to

1626
02:21:01.639 --> 02:21:07.959
the FBI and a lot of questions
constitutionally about well, is it really excusable

1627
02:21:07.120 --> 02:21:15.159
to create a police agency for crimes
that might happen across borders, or is

1628
02:21:15.239 --> 02:21:20.120
it really just the maximum that the
Feds would do would be to facilitate extradition

1629
02:21:20.280 --> 02:21:24.600
between states, And that's sort of
the fundamental question about the FBI. But

1630
02:21:24.719 --> 02:21:30.200
there are other things that have happened
recently. We've seen the FBI, and

1631
02:21:30.440 --> 02:21:35.680
of course the Department of Education being
implicated at the Justice Department as well in

1632
02:21:35.959 --> 02:21:41.799
possibly investigating concerned parents who go to
school board meetings and investigating Catholics who are

1633
02:21:41.879 --> 02:21:46.799
traditional and Catholic masses. Would you
like to amplify on some of the other

1634
02:21:46.920 --> 02:21:52.200
things that you discovered as you wanted
to put this together or throughout your life

1635
02:21:52.280 --> 02:21:56.840
some of the things that stand out
for you about the FBI and just how

1636
02:21:56.959 --> 02:22:01.520
inflammatory it has become or how bad
it was in the past. Yeah,

1637
02:22:01.879 --> 02:22:05.879
that's a very good question. Uh. The giption. Going back to the

1638
02:22:05.959 --> 02:22:11.520
the FBI and the Catholics, it
came out earlier this year that the that

1639
02:22:11.680 --> 02:22:18.159
the FBI in Richmond other places had
a secret campaign to infiltrate church services to

1640
02:22:18.360 --> 02:22:24.360
quote identify the bad Catholics. And
you know, I don't I'm not comfortable

1641
02:22:24.399 --> 02:22:28.440
at all with the FBI setting themselves
up to be secret judges of who is

1642
02:22:28.600 --> 02:22:31.959
and who is not a good Christian
or a good Catholic. You know,

1643
02:22:33.159 --> 02:22:37.559
this is you talk about a Pandora's
box, and this is something it wasn't

1644
02:22:37.719 --> 02:22:43.120
just one knit with FBI agent who
did this. This is something which got

1645
02:22:43.200 --> 02:22:46.280
approved at multiple levels. But one
of the things that sticks in my mind

1646
02:22:46.360 --> 02:22:50.959
most vividly on the FBI was Ruby
Ridge. You had the FBI send their

1647
02:22:52.079 --> 02:22:56.440
snipers out there. You had the
FBI, you know, the FBI snipers

1648
02:22:56.479 --> 02:22:58.799
were given an order to shoot to
kill, basically shoot on site for the

1649
02:23:00.000 --> 02:23:05.639
adults that were being besieged federal agents. And then the FBI sniper guns down

1650
02:23:05.799 --> 02:23:11.399
Vicky Weavers. She's holding her baby
in the cabin door. That age lawn.

1651
02:23:11.479 --> 02:23:16.479
Harryucci, Uh, never was never
received any sort of uh uh,

1652
02:23:16.600 --> 02:23:24.120
any sort of punishment. In fact, he got advances after killing right yep.

1653
02:23:24.239 --> 02:23:28.639
And so that was something I wrote
about and it was fasting to see

1654
02:23:28.680 --> 02:23:35.000
the pushback. FBI Director Lewis Free
condemned me in public for for slandering FBI

1655
02:23:35.040 --> 02:23:39.360
agents and the FBI itself. But
I later got hold of a five hundred

1656
02:23:39.440 --> 02:23:46.840
page confidential Justice Department report on their
analysis of Ruby Ridge, and the Jests

1657
02:23:46.879 --> 02:23:52.479
Department had many of the same condemnations
of the FBI that I had as far

1658
02:23:52.559 --> 02:23:56.159
as their their conduct and their cover
up of Ruby Ridge. But you just

1659
02:23:56.239 --> 02:24:01.159
said it publicly. Uh. I
set up publicly, and the FBI chief

1660
02:24:01.840 --> 02:24:05.719
I thought that he could squash my
reputation like a bug. Well you know

1661
02:24:07.520 --> 02:24:09.319
you are. You are, James
Bouvard. And by the way, as

1662
02:24:09.399 --> 02:24:13.639
we talked about last writes, I
want to mention I remember at that time

1663
02:24:15.399 --> 02:24:18.760
Ruby Ridge. G Gordon Lettie was
doing his radio show. Oh he was.

1664
02:24:18.920 --> 02:24:22.239
He was great, yeah, and
he was excellent on that Ruby Ridge

1665
02:24:22.319 --> 02:24:26.000
issue, and he would mention what
you were talking about. I remember him

1666
02:24:26.159 --> 02:24:30.959
talking about your work on his show. And I got to meet him a

1667
02:24:31.079 --> 02:24:35.559
number of years ago, and he
was very very nice to me, and

1668
02:24:35.920 --> 02:24:39.520
Uh, you know, I obviously
going to prison after the Nicks and Nixon

1669
02:24:39.559 --> 02:24:43.920
issues and things like that, but
he really did a splendid job talking about

1670
02:24:43.079 --> 02:24:48.079
Loanhara Ucci, Ruby Ridge and Randy
Waver and his family. And I really

1671
02:24:48.120 --> 02:24:52.399
appreciate the fact that you you stood
up for those people. You know,

1672
02:24:52.559 --> 02:24:58.200
David Knight was down there with UH
with the UH down at Bundy Ranch when

1673
02:24:58.239 --> 02:25:03.159
the Bureau of Land Management was trying
to wipe out the Bundy Ranch and take

1674
02:25:03.200 --> 02:25:05.920
that over. They were sabotaging the
water pipes and so on. David was

1675
02:25:05.959 --> 02:25:09.719
there at the standoff as the snipers
had their guns trained on them. He

1676
02:25:09.920 --> 02:25:13.959
was right there. Yeah, there's
a section in the book on the Bundy

1677
02:25:15.079 --> 02:25:20.079
Ranch case and the FBI just just
it's it's incredible, and I don't it's

1678
02:25:20.559 --> 02:25:24.360
it gets me choked up a little
bit sometimes to think about just how far

1679
02:25:26.239 --> 02:25:30.200
people have it. You know,
you get these little, these little bubble

1680
02:25:30.319 --> 02:25:35.120
ups of people standing up for what
is appropriate. They're standing up for their

1681
02:25:35.200 --> 02:25:39.680
rights. These people at Bundy Ranch
had a land agreement when Nevada was a

1682
02:25:39.840 --> 02:25:43.959
territory, and as I've mentioned,
there is no provision for the United States

1683
02:25:45.040 --> 02:25:50.559
government to run land other than Washington, d C. Territories and militaried garrisons.

1684
02:25:52.639 --> 02:25:56.479
And as you know, when according
to the Constitution, territories become states,

1685
02:25:56.520 --> 02:25:58.840
they're supposed to enter with, as
they say, all the rights and

1686
02:25:58.159 --> 02:26:03.719
privileges of any other state. And
there is no mandate that they have to

1687
02:26:03.799 --> 02:26:05.760
seed land to the government. And
even if they had to seed land,

1688
02:26:05.840 --> 02:26:11.399
even if they wanted to seed land
to the federal government, they the federal

1689
02:26:11.479 --> 02:26:15.879
government has no provision in the Constitution
to manage that land. So all these

1690
02:26:15.920 --> 02:26:20.319
areas Grand Escalante as I mentioned yesterday
and David's show, or the Bears,

1691
02:26:20.520 --> 02:26:24.680
the Bear's Feet, or the Anwar, anything like that, all these areas

1692
02:26:24.680 --> 02:26:28.600
where they've opened up national parks or
you know, closed off Anthracite to help

1693
02:26:28.639 --> 02:26:33.879
the lip Bo group for the Clinton
administration, any of those things, those

1694
02:26:33.959 --> 02:26:37.559
were supposed to be up to the
states. And since the Bundies had an

1695
02:26:37.559 --> 02:26:43.879
agreement from that territory of Nevada before
it became a state, they were grandfathered

1696
02:26:43.920 --> 02:26:46.760
in, their family had grazing rights, and Feds were trying to wipe them

1697
02:26:46.799 --> 02:26:52.319
out. And it's amazing to think
that the pop media could portray people who

1698
02:26:52.319 --> 02:26:56.280
were just trying to mine their own
business, were just sitting there who got

1699
02:26:56.360 --> 02:27:01.799
invaded by federal agents, the FBI, the BLN them with their tax funded

1700
02:27:01.840 --> 02:27:09.280
guns. They can portray the the
bundies as the flipped out aggressors, as

1701
02:27:09.360 --> 02:27:13.239
the wild gun totals, and they
were just defending their property and that sort

1702
02:27:13.239 --> 02:27:16.399
of I love to correct the record
on that sort of thing, especially for

1703
02:27:16.520 --> 02:27:20.319
peaceful people like that. James.
Yeah, and it was fascinating to see

1704
02:27:20.399 --> 02:27:26.639
the evolution of the federal court cases
and the federal judges on that issue.

1705
02:27:26.079 --> 02:27:31.799
Yeah, there was a I think
Judge Navro, maybe Gloria Navro, Yeah,

1706
02:27:31.959 --> 02:27:35.840
it was. She started out very
much leading in favor of the FBI

1707
02:27:35.959 --> 02:27:39.879
and the fedes, but by the
time at a certain point there were there

1708
02:27:39.879 --> 02:27:45.399
a number of very late revelations the
FEDS made that blew their credibility to pieces,

1709
02:27:45.760 --> 02:27:50.280
and she basically threw the case out
of court and gave the FBI a

1710
02:27:50.479 --> 02:27:54.000
very thorough cussing. Yeah, the
discovery process there on every one of those

1711
02:27:54.200 --> 02:27:58.600
was so important. And of course, you know, I think James,

1712
02:27:58.680 --> 02:28:01.680
it harkens back to back to the
days when they would try to have the

1713
02:28:01.760 --> 02:28:05.799
kangaroo courts during the Revolutionary era to
take people away from their local juries,

1714
02:28:07.159 --> 02:28:09.040
and they you know, they try
them up in Nova Scotia. That was

1715
02:28:09.079 --> 02:28:13.280
one of the things you wanted to
have jury of your peers. People hear

1716
02:28:13.399 --> 02:28:16.280
this information. Even judges sometimes will
stand up and say, you know what,

1717
02:28:18.200 --> 02:28:22.200
this is just wrong? Uh and
and and yeah, good for judge

1718
02:28:22.239 --> 02:28:24.920
Navarro. I was. I was
really pleased about that, James, any

1719
02:28:24.959 --> 02:28:28.559
other thoughts in the FBI. I'd
love to talk to you a little bit

1720
02:28:28.600 --> 02:28:33.200
about something tied to the FBI,
that the war on drugs and things like

1721
02:28:33.280 --> 02:28:37.920
civil asset forfeiture. If that's sure, go for it. Okay, Well,

1722
02:28:39.040 --> 02:28:41.399
let's let's talk a little bit about
the so called war on drugs,

1723
02:28:41.479 --> 02:28:45.319
you know, starting up with Lyndon
Johnson, but even before that, certain

1724
02:28:45.399 --> 02:28:48.959
statutes, a lot of the old
jazz musicians finding that they, you know,

1725
02:28:48.079 --> 02:28:54.559
were running into problems with the law. We've got an idea that somehow

1726
02:28:56.159 --> 02:29:01.280
the person accused with some crime against
to others just for possessing a substance,

1727
02:29:01.319 --> 02:29:05.680
which is not a violent act of
aggression against anyone, just the possession of

1728
02:29:05.719 --> 02:29:11.600
a substance or the sale to a
voluntary, willing participant of a substance like

1729
02:29:11.760 --> 02:29:18.280
drugs, whatever it might be,
that somehow, first any state agency,

1730
02:29:18.399 --> 02:29:22.639
agency of the state, in its
normative sense, should be involved in stopping

1731
02:29:24.200 --> 02:29:28.440
that person from engaging in that peaceful
activity. But on the constitutional level,

1732
02:29:28.479 --> 02:29:31.360
the superstructure of this, on a
national and historical level, for the United

1733
02:29:31.399 --> 02:29:35.280
States, James Boulevard, we've got
the so called war on drugs that has

1734
02:29:35.360 --> 02:29:43.959
incentivized local police forces, and even
the Obama administration threw down a smoke screen

1735
02:29:43.159 --> 02:29:46.719
with Eric Holder in there, and
you talk about some of this, some

1736
02:29:46.840 --> 02:29:50.440
of Eric Holder's background on this,
the so called war on drugs, the

1737
02:29:50.600 --> 02:30:01.840
seizure of people's property, and how
it incentivizes the local police to engage in

1738
02:30:01.000 --> 02:30:05.120
these types of raids because they can
make tons of money. They get to

1739
02:30:05.239 --> 02:30:09.200
keep people stuff. Can you talk
a little bit about the concept of civil

1740
02:30:09.239 --> 02:30:13.719
asset forfeiture and how you approach it
in last rites James Boulevard, Yeah,

1741
02:30:13.840 --> 02:30:18.079
civil asset forfeiture means that the government
come in and confiscate your property based on

1742
02:30:18.200 --> 02:30:22.959
a mere allegation that it might have
been misused at some time in the past.

1743
02:30:24.159 --> 02:30:28.120
And there was I think a dea
agent wh would say that the Great

1744
02:30:28.159 --> 02:30:33.440
thing about asset forfeiture is is not
up to us to prove anything, and

1745
02:30:33.639 --> 02:30:37.959
so so so, the if a
government agent stops you walking down the street

1746
02:30:37.680 --> 02:30:41.120
and he says, let me take
a look at your wallet, and so

1747
02:30:41.280 --> 02:30:45.639
he pulls he pulls out your cash, and then a drug dog comes up.

1748
02:30:45.719 --> 02:30:50.719
The drug dog alerts to the drugs
supposedly on the on your currency.

1749
02:30:50.200 --> 02:30:54.319
Boom, that's sufficient for the government
to seize your currency. However, the

1750
02:30:54.479 --> 02:31:01.079
vast majority of American currency has micro
traces of drugs and suffici to trigger a

1751
02:31:01.200 --> 02:31:05.760
canine alert, and judges have known
that for thirty years. Judges have been

1752
02:31:05.840 --> 02:31:11.719
condemning this a canine dog currency seizure
as a bunch of crap, going back

1753
02:31:11.760 --> 02:31:18.799
to probably even before Bill Clinton's presidency. Right, but you know it's still

1754
02:31:18.920 --> 02:31:22.959
there, and it's it's almost like
a Monty Python tests of whether or not

1755
02:31:22.120 --> 02:31:26.440
a woman is a witch. If
she weighs more than a duck, So

1756
02:31:28.000 --> 02:31:31.840
she's made of wood, that's it. That's it. Got a drowner.

1757
02:31:35.959 --> 02:31:39.000
Maybe she was eating crunchy frogs.
I don't know. Yeah, yeah,

1758
02:31:39.040 --> 02:31:43.920
that's I've always avoided. Yes,
yes, and James h let's I I

1759
02:31:45.079 --> 02:31:48.239
mentioned this before you came on.
I've done this on my Liberty Conspiracy Show,

1760
02:31:48.280 --> 02:31:52.200
but I'd like to show this for
the David Knight audience as I fill

1761
02:31:52.280 --> 02:31:56.079
in for David Knight. James Bovard
is our guest on the David Knight Show.

1762
02:31:56.120 --> 02:31:58.799
Everybody and place your questions in Rock
Finchat after we show this, get

1763
02:31:58.840 --> 02:32:05.360
to its thoughts about the conflict,
the seeming bipolar problem between the so called

1764
02:32:05.440 --> 02:32:11.280
war on drugs unconstitutional of course,
and the so called war on terror,

1765
02:32:11.360 --> 02:32:16.559
which has seen such a destruction of
so many of the rights that are supposed

1766
02:32:16.559 --> 02:32:20.159
to be protected by the US Bill
of Rights. And James, I'd like

1767
02:32:20.239 --> 02:32:24.360
to turn right now to this.
There might be a little ad that pops

1768
02:32:24.440 --> 02:32:28.680
up. This is from twenty years
ago. It's Heraldo Rivera on the ground

1769
02:32:28.959 --> 02:32:35.440
in Afghanistan as US soldiers guarded the
Heroin poppy crop. The fact that the

1770
02:32:35.520 --> 02:32:39.159
Dural government is here and is the
opium trade the Taliban is using it to

1771
02:32:39.319 --> 02:32:45.520
intimidate the population. Joining us from
Helmand Province is Haroaldo Rivera. Good morning

1772
02:32:45.639 --> 02:32:48.159
to you, Haroldo. Tell us
what you've seen during your days there in

1773
02:32:48.200 --> 02:32:54.840
Afghanistan. Hi Allison, Dave n
Clayton. Yes, in some ways.

1774
02:32:54.959 --> 02:32:58.920
The Marines brilliantly executed invasion of Marja, this town in the middle of Helman

1775
02:33:00.719 --> 02:33:05.520
Province was the easy part. The
hard part now is governing this province and

1776
02:33:05.559 --> 02:33:09.000
province as you suggest, that has
become addicted to opium in many many ways.

1777
02:33:09.360 --> 02:33:13.920
That is the principal crop that is
being grown here. The Taliban lend

1778
02:33:15.000 --> 02:33:18.319
the farmers the money they are indebted
to the Taliban, they have to grow

1779
02:33:18.399 --> 02:33:22.639
the opium. Now, the Marines, in their success, are in a

1780
02:33:22.719 --> 02:33:26.760
sense of victim of their success because
now the population is you know, they

1781
02:33:26.840 --> 02:33:31.040
have these opium fields and we are
tolerating it. We are tolerating the cultivation

1782
02:33:31.440 --> 02:33:35.760
of the opium because we know that
if we were to destroy it now,

1783
02:33:35.200 --> 02:33:39.840
the population would turn against the Marines
and it would be a real security risk.

1784
02:33:39.959 --> 02:33:43.680
Let me introduce Lieutenant Colonel Brian Christmas. He's the commanding officer of the

1785
02:33:43.760 --> 02:33:48.520
third Battalion, six Marines. Really
a wonderful group of Marines here. I

1786
02:33:48.719 --> 02:33:52.719
know that you care deeply about this
contradiction, the fact that here you have

1787
02:33:52.879 --> 02:33:56.959
one of the best fighting forces in
the world ever mounted and in the sense

1788
02:33:58.280 --> 02:34:01.319
you're watching as this opium as being
grown. I know it grinds at your

1789
02:34:01.399 --> 02:34:05.360
gut. How do you deal with
it? What are you doing about her?

1790
02:34:05.559 --> 02:34:09.079
Well, frankly, this is part
of the culture. So while my

1791
02:34:09.159 --> 02:34:13.079
grind and my gut, it's what
they do. So it's very interesting,

1792
02:34:13.200 --> 02:34:16.520
James. I bring that up,
of course, knowing that they were unconstitutionally

1793
02:34:16.600 --> 02:34:20.159
there. Ron Paul offered a declaration
of war. He got three votes.

1794
02:34:20.200 --> 02:34:24.319
Of course, he was not going
to vote for it himself, and I

1795
02:34:24.399 --> 02:34:28.959
thought that it was important to bring
that up because we have this bipolar situation

1796
02:34:28.200 --> 02:34:33.000
of the US government telling us they
have this so called war on drugs,

1797
02:34:33.559 --> 02:34:39.520
then invading a foreign nation, occupying
it for two decades, and as they're

1798
02:34:39.559 --> 02:34:45.479
occupying it, seeing the opium coming
out of there increase and the proportion of

1799
02:34:45.520 --> 02:34:48.920
the world's trade going up to near
ninety seven percent coming from Afghanistan. Now,

1800
02:34:50.120 --> 02:34:52.799
James, just a few weeks ago, I was reading about how the

1801
02:34:52.920 --> 02:34:56.879
Taliban, and again I'm not in
favor of one group destroying the crops of

1802
02:34:56.959 --> 02:35:03.600
anybody, but Afghanistan is no longer
number one on the export of opium poppy

1803
02:35:03.719 --> 02:35:07.440
products. It's now something like me
on mar or something like that. They've

1804
02:35:07.520 --> 02:35:11.280
dropped because the Taliban did get in
there, and rather than doing what the

1805
02:35:11.319 --> 02:35:13.559
government told us they would do,
which would be to take over the fields

1806
02:35:13.760 --> 02:35:20.040
and run them themselves, they're destroying
the fields. And it is amazing to

1807
02:35:20.159 --> 02:35:24.959
me because we got people who are
accustomed to the United States being in Afghanistan,

1808
02:35:24.399 --> 02:35:28.440
even some military members. I've spoken
to them, and I've been at

1809
02:35:28.440 --> 02:35:31.479
airports. I've seen them in their
fatigues and I say, oh, are

1810
02:35:31.479 --> 02:35:33.799
you heading out somewhere. They're like, yeah, I'm going to Afghanistan,

1811
02:35:33.959 --> 02:35:37.360
going to Iraq. And I say, listen, if you don't want to

1812
02:35:37.440 --> 02:35:39.879
answer this question, if it makes
you feel uncomfortable, that's okay. I

1813
02:35:39.920 --> 02:35:43.440
don't want to make you feel uncomfortable. But I know you swear an oath

1814
02:35:43.479 --> 02:35:48.559
to the Constitution. Yes, you
will answer to constitutional orders. Yes,

1815
02:35:50.959 --> 02:35:54.799
there is no declaration of war.
The only way the president can send troops

1816
02:35:54.840 --> 02:35:58.440
out constitutionally is if there's a declaration
of war. How do you feel knowing

1817
02:35:58.520 --> 02:36:01.959
that you swe to the constitution but
they're sending you out in a breach of

1818
02:36:03.000 --> 02:36:05.399
the constitution. And their answer always
is well, I do what they tell

1819
02:36:05.479 --> 02:36:09.319
me. And I think that that
is sad and of course, very frightening.

1820
02:36:11.000 --> 02:36:13.399
And I hope that you know,
I don't want to be too explicit

1821
02:36:13.479 --> 02:36:16.479
on it, but I hope that
people will remember this is the type of

1822
02:36:16.559 --> 02:36:20.280
policy what we see right here on
the screen. This is the type of

1823
02:36:20.360 --> 02:36:24.079
policy you get when people don't try
to keep tabs on their own ethics and

1824
02:36:24.200 --> 02:36:31.159
what is right and wrong and contradictory
based on government policy and what they were

1825
02:36:31.200 --> 02:36:33.280
doing there. I wonder, James, if anybody could say, gee,

1826
02:36:33.399 --> 02:36:37.639
you know you are guarding those fields. Now, we're going to come in

1827
02:36:37.000 --> 02:36:41.760
and do civil asset forfeiture on the
US military now, because of course you're

1828
02:36:41.799 --> 02:36:43.399
involved with a crime, we can
just take your jeeves. You think they

1829
02:36:43.440 --> 02:36:48.040
would do that, James, Well, I think it might be difficult to

1830
02:36:48.120 --> 02:36:54.280
collect if there is something. And
I don't know how long you can stay

1831
02:36:54.319 --> 02:36:56.239
with us, James, But I
do want to ask a couple questions from

1832
02:36:56.360 --> 02:37:01.559
rock Way. Excellent. Excellent,
So let's head over to rock Fin and

1833
02:37:01.639 --> 02:37:05.760
Rumble Chat and see what you have
to say everybody here on the David Knight

1834
02:37:05.879 --> 02:37:11.440
Show. And here are some of
the points that are brought up over at

1835
02:37:13.239 --> 02:37:22.520
rumble a rock Finn. We're seeing
Okay, they're talking about Heraldo Rivera.

1836
02:37:24.719 --> 02:37:28.920
Now, yes, someone brought up
the plandemic, the pandemic and the lockdowns.

1837
02:37:30.680 --> 02:37:33.639
Love for you to be able to
address some questions on that. Regarding

1838
02:37:33.719 --> 02:37:39.680
civil liberties James, and Michael Desalvio
says we should just grow it here in

1839
02:37:39.760 --> 02:37:48.000
the United States. Very good point
and hal nine thousand, Watson, I'm

1840
02:37:48.000 --> 02:37:52.559
sure you understand the reference there,
James. A little dig on IBM,

1841
02:37:52.079 --> 02:37:58.680
says, oh American way, and
they also say no war on farmer drugs.

1842
02:38:00.000 --> 02:38:03.079
Those are subsidized and protected. Let's
talk about the lockdowns for a second,

1843
02:38:03.200 --> 02:38:07.479
James, you saw what was going
on, and then we'll talk about

1844
02:38:07.479 --> 02:38:11.159
the Capitol Building maybe January sixth,
because you visited there and just seen the

1845
02:38:11.319 --> 02:38:16.319
stark in your face police state appearance
and practice there and how things have changed.

1846
02:38:18.239 --> 02:38:24.360
Do you have any thoughts about the
United States government, including various governors

1847
02:38:24.680 --> 02:38:31.440
most of them, and legislatures,
cracking down on people's civil liberties, choosing

1848
02:38:31.479 --> 02:38:39.120
essential non essential businesses, shutting things
down with vaccine, passports, the border.

1849
02:38:39.159 --> 02:38:43.360
You've got to be jabbed, all
these types of things. There's a

1850
02:38:43.399 --> 02:38:50.399
solid chapter in the book on the
COVID crackdown, craziness you know, I

1851
02:38:50.479 --> 02:38:56.440
think one of the clearest lessons of
the pandemic was that in the long run,

1852
02:38:56.879 --> 02:39:01.719
people have more interfear from paul fish
than from a virus. You have

1853
02:39:01.879 --> 02:39:07.600
so many politicians who gave themselves dictatorial
power. There were some great Supreme Court

1854
02:39:07.760 --> 02:39:13.399
dissents during the early part of the
pandemic. I believe it was just just

1855
02:39:13.520 --> 02:39:18.760
as Gorsuch, who was who was
mocking the state of Nevada for putting very

1856
02:39:20.200 --> 02:39:24.920
very low limits for church attendance,
but there was there was a much larger

1857
02:39:24.000 --> 02:39:28.000
limit for going to the casinos,
and he said, it's really difficult to

1858
02:39:28.120 --> 02:39:33.760
reconcile the First Amendment with the He
had a very good line afterwards, trust

1859
02:39:33.799 --> 02:39:37.840
me on that one. But there
were lots of lots of good court decisions,

1860
02:39:39.239 --> 02:39:41.479
but the hysteria by the media,
most of the media, not all

1861
02:39:41.520 --> 02:39:48.280
of it in favor of unlimited government
power. And to see how the media

1862
02:39:48.840 --> 02:39:54.920
made saints out of people like Falci
in spite of all of his contradictions,

1863
02:39:54.000 --> 02:39:58.159
in spite of his flip flops,
it was almost as if groveling to the

1864
02:39:58.239 --> 02:40:03.159
government was the only way people could
be saved. Absolutely absolutely right, and

1865
02:40:03.760 --> 02:40:13.040
his elitist el seignor approach, looking
down his nose at people, you know,

1866
02:40:13.200 --> 02:40:16.639
the way that you know. I
wish ran Paul had gone farther.

1867
02:40:16.000 --> 02:40:22.120
I hope he continues to do more, not just questioning the gain of function,

1868
02:40:22.319 --> 02:40:26.959
but questioning any of the United States
government involvement in the JAB research.

1869
02:40:26.040 --> 02:40:30.760
And of course they called those countermeasures, claiming they could do that as a

1870
02:40:30.840 --> 02:40:35.079
DoD type of preparatory thing against a
potential attack by some foreign nation developing a

1871
02:40:35.159 --> 02:40:39.639
virus. But they're the ones who
developed developed the virus and directly through Eco

1872
02:40:39.719 --> 02:40:43.000
Health Alliance, moving it from North
Carolina over to Wuhan. So all of

1873
02:40:43.079 --> 02:40:48.719
it is unconstitutional. And here's the
quote on page seventy seven, folks from

1874
02:40:48.799 --> 02:40:54.239
Neil Gorsuch, James writes in his
new book Last Rites, available at the

1875
02:40:54.280 --> 02:41:01.120
Libertarian Institute, also on Amazon James
Bouvard at Jim Bouvard on Twitter. Politicians

1876
02:41:01.200 --> 02:41:09.959
effectively promised to banish all COVID risk
by obliterating individual liberty, but according to

1877
02:41:11.079 --> 02:41:18.360
the Centers for Disease Control, most
Americans still contracted COVID despite quote the greatest

1878
02:41:18.520 --> 02:41:26.000
intrusions on civil liberties in the peacetime
history of this country. End quote as

1879
02:41:26.120 --> 02:41:33.159
Neil Gorsuch declared in twenty twenty three, those lockdowns destroyed millions of jobs,

1880
02:41:33.719 --> 02:41:39.600
spurred hundreds of thousands of bankruptcies,
and sparked far more suicides, alcoholism and

1881
02:41:39.760 --> 02:41:46.399
drug abuse JIM. Everything from local
schools and the teachers' unions pushing for even

1882
02:41:46.559 --> 02:41:54.040
more outside the school so called education. Everything from parents speaking up about that

1883
02:41:54.319 --> 02:41:58.920
sort of thing and the way that
they were speaking up about wokeism being detected

1884
02:42:00.120 --> 02:42:03.760
by the DOE, then working with
the National School Boards Association to try to

1885
02:42:05.399 --> 02:42:13.399
concoct a narrative that the concerned parents
were somehow potential domestic terror threats, and

1886
02:42:13.479 --> 02:42:18.360
then getting the FBI to investigate them, which was halted supposedly but not really

1887
02:42:18.120 --> 02:42:24.959
when they got discovered. To the
lockdowns, the JAB passports, and as

1888
02:42:24.040 --> 02:42:31.520
I've mentioned, the use of HIPPA
the nineteen ninety six Health Insurance Portability and

1889
02:42:31.559 --> 02:42:37.879
Accountability Act supposedly to protect our privacy, but in between pages seventy five and

1890
02:42:39.000 --> 02:42:43.399
ninety five of the PDF, people
can see how the head of HHS can

1891
02:42:43.520 --> 02:42:50.239
demand medical records from anybody who is
medical in a medical profession, who accepts

1892
02:42:50.280 --> 02:42:58.200
Medicare Medicaid patients to things like the
people bringing in things on trucks from Canada.

1893
02:42:58.239 --> 02:43:03.440
You've got to be jazz to all
sorts of things. You can protest

1894
02:43:03.680 --> 02:43:09.840
for BLM, but you can't protest
for your own rights to protest unbelievable,

1895
02:43:09.200 --> 02:43:15.360
unbelievable encroachments, and they cannot be
forgotten. These sorts of things have to

1896
02:43:15.440 --> 02:43:18.360
be remembered, and they have to
be fought. They have to be fought

1897
02:43:18.440 --> 02:43:22.440
on a local, state, and
federal level. And it just amazes me

1898
02:43:22.600 --> 02:43:26.920
that so many people just allow these
things to come out and the lies.

1899
02:43:26.479 --> 02:43:31.760
Fauci openly saying well, yes,
I lied about masks, and now I'm

1900
02:43:31.799 --> 02:43:35.639
giving you a spurious reason is because
I think they're so important to have masks

1901
02:43:35.680 --> 02:43:39.680
when everybody knows the masks aren't important. Just absurd. What were some of

1902
02:43:39.719 --> 02:43:45.879
the standout things as you went back
on this, because there's so much regarding

1903
02:43:45.920 --> 02:43:50.440
the lockdowns and the lies from the
federal government and the constitutional side of things

1904
02:43:50.520 --> 02:43:52.639
and people's rights. Well, yeah, I've got a section in the COVID

1905
02:43:52.760 --> 02:43:58.760
chapter on how the Biden Whitehouse brow
beat the FDA to force them to give

1906
02:43:58.840 --> 02:44:03.879
full approval the Pfizer vacks for COVID
because they had to have that before Biden

1907
02:44:03.959 --> 02:44:11.639
imposed his mandate for all Americans working
for large companies to get VAS and to

1908
02:44:11.760 --> 02:44:16.920
see the absolute contempt for anyone who
did not roll over in command. Shortly

1909
02:44:16.000 --> 02:44:22.120
after Biden gave his speech in September
twenty twenty one on his vax mandates,

1910
02:44:22.479 --> 02:44:26.959
Biden showed up on CNN and he
said that the only reason that people weren't

1911
02:44:26.000 --> 02:44:31.639
getting vaxed because they want their freedom
to kill you with their COVID virus.

1912
02:44:31.600 --> 02:44:39.079
And this is and these are lines
which have a lot never really showed up

1913
02:44:39.079 --> 02:44:43.000
in the media radar screen. People
do recall that Biden promised that if you

1914
02:44:43.079 --> 02:44:48.040
get the injection, then then you
won't get COVID and that was a false

1915
02:44:48.120 --> 02:44:52.520
statement even when he said it,
because the CDC knew there were a torrent

1916
02:44:52.600 --> 02:44:56.079
of breakthrough cases, but the FEDS
were covering them up. But then the

1917
02:44:56.200 --> 02:45:01.399
cover up collapsed absolutely. And we
know that even in the during the early

1918
02:45:01.520 --> 02:45:07.680
testing, they then got rid of
their their control group, they ended up

1919
02:45:07.680 --> 02:45:11.520
giving them the injection. The whole
thing was absurd. And again, you

1920
02:45:11.559 --> 02:45:16.159
know that goes towards my libertarian argument
of don't put your faith in the central

1921
02:45:16.239 --> 02:45:22.079
authority. That then can be gamed
for rent seekers to try to make sure

1922
02:45:22.159 --> 02:45:26.079
their stuff gets through, especially when
you got that revolving door. And as

1923
02:45:26.479 --> 02:45:31.879
we you know, we've discussed with
your amazing book, the fair trade fraud,

1924
02:45:31.440 --> 02:45:35.840
some of the biggest corporations have big
incentives to make sure that their competition

1925
02:45:37.000 --> 02:45:41.799
is knocked out and they get either
government contracts or tariffs that will protect them

1926
02:45:41.239 --> 02:45:46.280
or mandates to say you must use
this product. And this is exactly what

1927
02:45:46.440 --> 02:45:52.000
Biden did. It's amazing to me
to think that people think that this sort

1928
02:45:52.040 --> 02:45:58.639
of thing can be reformed without actually
at least questioning the very moral and ethical

1929
02:45:58.239 --> 02:46:03.840
premises on which these people base their
arguments that you must be forced to pay

1930
02:46:05.159 --> 02:46:09.840
for your own protection, because it
doesn't work. It never works that way.

1931
02:46:09.000 --> 02:46:13.760
You're not going to get any satisfaction
if the agency that is supposed to

1932
02:46:13.799 --> 02:46:16.360
protect you can just take your money
at any time. They're actually a protection

1933
02:46:16.920 --> 02:46:20.920
racket, you know, yeah,
you know. And this is something which

1934
02:46:22.040 --> 02:46:26.280
compounds with the censorship stuff because okay, so the Biden folks come in and

1935
02:46:26.440 --> 02:46:33.440
Binen was hell bent on persuading people
that the COVID vaccines that were had only

1936
02:46:33.559 --> 02:46:39.879
emergency use approval. Were panaceas.
And so what the Biden Whitehouse did was

1937
02:46:41.040 --> 02:46:46.000
cracked down on Twitter and Facebook and
force them to suppress people making jokes about

1938
02:46:46.159 --> 02:46:52.120
COVID vaccines. If you only made
some kind of meme on Twitter, it's

1939
02:46:52.239 --> 02:46:56.040
like, boh, you were suppressed
because it was like that. The it

1940
02:46:56.200 --> 02:47:01.479
was as if the COVID vaccines would
only were a freedom of speech was destroyed.

1941
02:47:03.239 --> 02:47:07.200
That's absolutely right, James, absolutely
right. And I'll point something out

1942
02:47:07.239 --> 02:47:11.360
to you. I don't know whether
you've gotten to see his tweet today,

1943
02:47:11.479 --> 02:47:15.399
but Glenn Jacobs mentioned this on Twitter. I'll see if I can find it,

1944
02:47:15.639 --> 02:47:24.559
very very quickly on Twitter he brought
up. I retweeted it that since

1945
02:47:24.600 --> 02:47:28.079
he is mayor of Knox County.
Of course, he's the former pro wrestler

1946
02:47:28.120 --> 02:47:33.920
who played Kine and bench press was
funny here in New Hampshire bench press five

1947
02:47:35.799 --> 02:47:37.600
I was. I was talking to
him once at a conference. He told

1948
02:47:37.680 --> 02:47:43.559
me he's bench press five twenty.
Wow, are you kidding me? No?

1949
02:47:43.840 --> 02:47:50.840
No, Holy So I'm not going
to argue with him. All right,

1950
02:47:50.959 --> 02:47:54.239
Well that's excellent. Yeah, let
me see if I can find this

1951
02:47:54.399 --> 02:47:56.200
tweet. I don't I could paraphrase
it, but let me see if I

1952
02:47:56.239 --> 02:48:03.639
can just give this to you,
because he mentioned that Deborah Burks joined him

1953
02:48:03.840 --> 02:48:07.760
and other people who were involved with
government in Tennessee in a closed door meeting,

1954
02:48:09.719 --> 02:48:16.000
and he mentioned that she told people
that a lot of the information they

1955
02:48:16.120 --> 02:48:22.479
had about And I don't want to
be too explicit here because I'd rather read

1956
02:48:22.520 --> 02:48:26.840
what he said, but I'll see
if I can find it here. Yeah,

1957
02:48:26.200 --> 02:48:30.479
Burks came to Knoxville in September twenty
twenty. Is that the one?

1958
02:48:31.239 --> 02:48:33.559
Yes, that's it? Do you
have it on yours? James, Yeah,

1959
02:48:33.840 --> 02:48:37.440
I have it on this Yeah,
yeah, feel free to read that

1960
02:48:37.639 --> 02:48:41.000
and yeah yeah. Just quoting Glenn
Jacobs, he says that in a private

1961
02:48:41.120 --> 02:48:46.280
meeting, Burks told us that bars
and restaurants should be closed. She admitted

1962
02:48:46.360 --> 02:48:50.879
that the data didn't support it,
but said it was necessarily to quote send

1963
02:48:50.959 --> 02:48:56.200
a message about the seriousness of the
virus. That's marketing, not science,

1964
02:48:56.600 --> 02:49:01.159
says Glenn Jacobs. Job, Glenn, and he is a great, great

1965
02:49:01.239 --> 02:49:05.680
guy. In fact, I think
we might have met either the year you

1966
02:49:05.799 --> 02:49:13.200
were up here for the uh Libertarian
Pork Porcupine Festival and Naomi Wolf was here,

1967
02:49:13.040 --> 02:49:18.879
or it might have been the year
after that, but yeah, a

1968
02:49:18.040 --> 02:49:22.840
very good guy. And of course
he lives down in Tennessee now and yeah,

1969
02:49:24.079 --> 02:49:28.440
it's it's amazing to see the stuff
that was going on. And and

1970
02:49:28.600 --> 02:49:33.719
Glenn fought tooth and nail to try
to prevent those sorts of mandates in his

1971
02:49:33.879 --> 02:49:39.000
in Knox County, and good for
him. And you know, uh,

1972
02:49:39.120 --> 02:49:41.280
it's it's you, you guys that
come from the country. James, You're

1973
02:49:41.280 --> 02:49:46.360
still holding up the side for truth. It's redneck heritage. Yeah, and

1974
02:49:46.479 --> 02:49:50.920
you know, I have some comments
that were they're also showing comments now people

1975
02:49:50.000 --> 02:49:54.319
are watching us on Twitter. Previously, it would be difficult to comment on

1976
02:49:54.399 --> 02:49:58.920
Twitter. You would have to go
in, and just now people are commenting,

1977
02:49:58.319 --> 02:50:01.559
I've got thank you so much for
watching The David Knight Show Chs.

1978
02:50:01.760 --> 02:50:07.719
Eight four to three on Twitter slash
x and he mentioned Freeway Rick Ross and

1979
02:50:07.799 --> 02:50:11.440
of course you know the terrible things
that happened to Freeway. Rick Ross cleaned

1980
02:50:11.479 --> 02:50:16.799
up his life. He says Trump
might push for NATO to be closed as

1981
02:50:16.840 --> 02:50:20.239
well. Well, I wouldn't.
Don't count your chickens before they hatch on

1982
02:50:20.360 --> 02:50:22.479
that one, my friend. I
don't think they were going to see that

1983
02:50:22.600 --> 02:50:28.079
happen. But who knows you can
always be hopeful. And let's see over

1984
02:50:28.200 --> 02:50:33.000
on rockfinchat Scott Atlas had some very
interesting things to say on the highway or

1985
02:50:33.040 --> 02:50:37.559
about Berks and Company. Scott Atlas
was talking about the inner workings there and

1986
02:50:37.600 --> 02:50:41.040
how he kept getting shut out.
They would start to have meetings even without

1987
02:50:41.120 --> 02:50:45.319
him. They wouldn't even call on
him once they found out what his position

1988
02:50:45.360 --> 02:50:48.920
would be, he wouldn't be there. And yeah, there's so many,

1989
02:50:48.120 --> 02:50:52.280
so many interesting things to discuss,
James. What do you think stands out

1990
02:50:52.319 --> 02:50:54.639
as you think about all the stories
that you have in there? Is there

1991
02:50:54.920 --> 02:51:00.520
something that you would want to really
stress to the audience One or two items

1992
02:51:00.559 --> 02:51:03.479
here before we close things off with
you, and thank you very much.

1993
02:51:03.520 --> 02:51:07.360
If you have to go, go
for it. I mean, thanks,

1994
02:51:07.120 --> 02:51:11.639
thanks for all your kind comments,
thanks for the excellent questions. I guess

1995
02:51:11.760 --> 02:51:18.799
the the over overview I'd want folks
to take away is just the fundamental principle

1996
02:51:20.000 --> 02:51:24.200
of what happens when politicians and government
officials can claim control of your life,

1997
02:51:24.319 --> 02:51:31.799
and then once they have that established, it's an unlimited series of often idiotic

1998
02:51:31.959 --> 02:51:35.639
dictates. I mean, you think
of TSA, what you've got to do.

1999
02:51:35.719 --> 02:51:39.559
When you're flying, you think of
the COVID lockdowns. You think of

2000
02:51:39.639 --> 02:51:43.280
a lot of other federal mandates that
are helping wreck this country, wrecking our

2001
02:51:43.360 --> 02:51:48.159
prosperity. You think of how the
government is destroying our currency. And people

2002
02:51:48.239 --> 02:51:52.479
in DC don't give a damn because
they're mostly all very well paid. Uh.

2003
02:51:52.760 --> 02:51:58.000
And there's just so much damage that
the that the political class is inflicting

2004
02:51:58.079 --> 02:52:03.079
on the nation, and people need
to fundamentally reevaluate how they look at the

2005
02:52:03.280 --> 02:52:09.600
US government and American politicians. It's
interesting. I was commenting on Facebook someone

2006
02:52:09.680 --> 02:52:16.360
in I'd had some posts from a
few years earlier, and so I said,

2007
02:52:16.840 --> 02:52:20.760
I was replying to someone and said
that said something like, well,

2008
02:52:22.159 --> 02:52:26.600
well, I hope that we can
whip the political rascals in the coming years.

2009
02:52:26.040 --> 02:52:31.000
And Facebook gave me a warning for
saying talking about whipping the political rascals,

2010
02:52:33.479 --> 02:52:35.920
and I was thinking, Okay,
I guess that they're not familiar with

2011
02:52:35.040 --> 02:52:43.399
Thomas Paine saying that politicians were the
most rascally group of humanity. But there

2012
02:52:43.520 --> 02:52:48.319
is there is this concervative effort to
make people deferential to the ruling class and

2013
02:52:48.879 --> 02:52:52.920
to make it seem like the real
problem is that people who talk about whipping

2014
02:52:52.959 --> 02:52:58.239
the political rascals, not all the
lies and abuses from the Washington elite.

2015
02:53:00.040 --> 02:53:05.360
James Beauvard at Jim Beaouvard on Twitter, your website. Great conversation recently with

2016
02:53:05.479 --> 02:53:11.440
Tom Woods. There's just awesome stuff. Libertarian Institute. Everybody check out the

2017
02:53:11.479 --> 02:53:16.959
Libertarian Institute. This is a Libertarian
Institute publication. And James, before you

2018
02:53:16.079 --> 02:53:20.319
go, I'll refer once more to
that page seventy seven because you have that

2019
02:53:20.479 --> 02:53:26.840
quote in there, and this should
be sufficient. Just this statement should be

2020
02:53:26.159 --> 02:53:31.680
enough for people to say, Okay, I need to fight back for truth,

2021
02:53:33.559 --> 02:53:37.520
because we knew this was false the
minute he said it. Quote,

2022
02:53:37.399 --> 02:53:43.120
You're not going to get COVID if
you have these injections. July twenty first,

2023
02:53:43.239 --> 02:53:50.319
twenty twenty one, President Joe Biden, and you wrote the COVID nineteen

2024
02:53:50.440 --> 02:53:56.319
pandemic opened up Pandora's box of perils
to freedom, prosperity, and health.

2025
02:53:56.280 --> 02:54:03.879
Though judges torpedoed a few despotic to
crees, politicians fanned pandemic fears to seize

2026
02:54:05.079 --> 02:54:11.440
nearly absolute power. Despite pervasive abuses, not a single government officials spent a

2027
02:54:11.559 --> 02:54:18.959
day in jail for the most politically
exploited pandemic in American history. And James,

2028
02:54:18.120 --> 02:54:24.959
their excuses about so called public health
run not only in conjunction with the

2029
02:54:26.159 --> 02:54:31.079
nonsense of that man, Joe Biden, but run counter to individual liberty.

2030
02:54:31.360 --> 02:54:39.239
It's a consequentialist view, and they
have excused the attack on everybody's individual rights.

2031
02:54:39.559 --> 02:54:43.719
There's no such thing as public health. There's only individual health. And

2032
02:54:43.840 --> 02:54:48.440
the minute someone tells you, I'm
in a group of people, we're in

2033
02:54:48.600 --> 02:54:54.159
charge, and we are going to
decide what the public health is and what

2034
02:54:54.360 --> 02:54:58.719
we can do to you, they're
immediately negating their own argument, because you

2035
02:54:58.879 --> 02:55:03.879
are just a member, as everybody
else is of this group. And if

2036
02:55:03.920 --> 02:55:07.319
they can threaten you, if they
can threaten you, they can threaten somebody

2037
02:55:07.360 --> 02:55:09.479
else who's not threatened today, they
can threaten him tomorrow, because they're always

2038
02:55:09.479 --> 02:55:13.719
going to be there. Yep.
And so this is so important this book.

2039
02:55:13.879 --> 02:55:16.479
Thank you, Hey, thanks so
much for the kind of words.

2040
02:55:16.639 --> 02:55:20.760
Thanks for doing a great job of
pulling out some of the best parts of

2041
02:55:20.799 --> 02:55:24.440
the book. I really appreciate that. Gardner, you got it, James,

2042
02:55:24.520 --> 02:55:26.440
you got it. You know sometimes
I get I just I just get

2043
02:55:26.520 --> 02:55:30.719
so appreciative of your work, James, any any thoughts people, just to

2044
02:55:30.799 --> 02:55:35.639
mention where people can find you as
you head off and continue working on various

2045
02:55:35.680 --> 02:55:37.760
places. I've been doing quite a
bit lately for the New York posts.

2046
02:55:37.840 --> 02:55:45.159
I've done some stuff for Meazies Is
Toude, Brownstone American Conservative Magazine, other

2047
02:55:45.280 --> 02:55:50.959
places which I should not be forgetting, but I am. Well, no

2048
02:55:50.120 --> 02:55:54.200
problem, James. James Bovard is
with us, and James, next time

2049
02:55:54.239 --> 02:55:58.879
I bring you on, maybe i'll
play that Rifleman's soundtrack in honor of a

2050
02:55:58.159 --> 02:56:05.079
great show guy. Uh came from
good country country stock and fought for for

2051
02:56:05.200 --> 02:56:09.639
goodness. Or maybe I'll play Uh, there's a song called high on Drugs

2052
02:56:09.719 --> 02:56:13.559
about the drug war and uh all
on drugs. Hey, Hey, I'm

2053
02:56:15.040 --> 02:56:18.520
I was. I was trying to
follows help my boy scout image that you

2054
02:56:18.600 --> 02:56:22.600
know that well well, James,
thank you so much. Next time we'll

2055
02:56:22.639 --> 02:56:26.920
also talk about some of your personal
reflections as you watch around the Capitol and

2056
02:56:28.040 --> 02:56:31.000
saw some of the very things that
people can see just by looking at the

2057
02:56:31.079 --> 02:56:35.280
cover of your book, The Razor
Winter on the Capital. Just a quick

2058
02:56:35.399 --> 02:56:39.600
comment. The photo and the covers
was one that I took when I was

2059
02:56:39.840 --> 02:56:43.559
on a hike going around the uh
