Using free speech to free minds. You're listening to the David Night Show.
As the clock strikes thirteen, it's Friday, the twenty second of December,
Year of Our Lord, twenty twenty three, and we say Year of our
Lord, and this is the time we celebrate the birth of our Lord.
And so that's what we're going to do today. We're going to talk We're
going to have some news at the beginning here, but we're going to talk
a lot about Christmas and culture in the context of politics and government and tradition.
What does culture mean? Really? We need to think about that.
You know, what does it mean when you have a bacteria culture or you
cultivate a plant. It's something that you grow. You do it consciously.
So we're going to talk about that, and we're going to consciously talk about
that. We'll be right back. Stay with us. Well, as I
mentioned yesterday, Christmas time and we listen to some of the classic song it's
not the ones about rootolph and rocking around a Christmas tree or this or that,
you know, and the nostalgia is fine, you know, that's in
and of itself, it's fine as long as as long as that's not your
entire life. I mean, we stop and think about it. What if
your entire life was just looking backwards at things that you had done. You
don't have to anticipate in anything in the future or what is happening now.
You just mope about what has gone and passed. And at this time of
year, because there's so much nostalgia and Christmas songs, we can fall into
that trap. It can be very depressing for a lot of people because you
just focus on what they've lost. And it is important to go back and
look at what was there before and see if we can't try to sustain or
even revive some of the things that have been lost. But we don't want
to overdwell on the past. Life is about the living. Life is about
now. And so I mentioned this yesterday. You know, we look at
the Christmas carols and we look at the fact that they're pushing this to us,
that scientists create that an AI that they claim can predict when you will
die with seventy eight percent accuracy. I said this yesterday. I said,
well, God knows that with accuracy, but artificial intelligence doesn't. These scientists
don't, your doctor doesn't. How many you probably have a story I've got
a couple of them about somebody who gets the clean bill of help from the
doctor and goes out and drops dead. Or maybe they got a shot from
the doctor, you know, the sugar water that Trump created for us,
as Alex Poyne. Maybe they got the sugar water shot and then they just
suddenly die. Or it might be that they just misdiagnosed it didn't catch a
heart condition that was there. Or maybe it's not even that. Maybe you
know you're perfectly healthy, maybe even jogging down or cycling down the side of
the road and you get hit by car and die. We've all known those
types of stories as well. Nobody knows when you're going to die, and
these scientists don't know either. What is concerning about this is that they think
they know, and that is a very dangerous thing because as people more and
more begin to worship artificial intelligence as being omniscient and being able to predict the
future, and as it becomes omnipresent everywhere and everything that we do, that's
going to be a real danger and we need to disavow that from the very
beginning so we don't fall into that trap. Only God knows this will This
type of AI, for example, be used to deny you medical care.
But let's also remember this time of year we celebrate crisis. I said in
the Christmas Care Born so that man no more may die. Yeah, you're
going to die, but it's not final. It's a difficult transition. Some
people have said coming into this world and going out of this world is difficult.
But we know that we're going to a better world if we're Christians,
and Christ has made that possible. That's why we celebrate this time of year.
And as I said before, I'm not dogmatic at all about the religious
aspects of Christmas. It's an opportunity to talk about the incarnation of Christ,
and it's an opportunity to exercise our religion in the public space, because if
you don't exercise your freedoms, just like your body will atrophy and die.
And so it is important for us to exercise our freedoms. And so far
all those reasons, and an opportunity to talk to your children about what is
really, what is true, what isn't true. We've got a lot of
traditions that have been added to it. I mean, even on the religious
side, not just things like Anta Cloonu's and Rooto Off. There's a lot
of things that have been added, even in the religious aspects of this,
to talk to them about that. But when we look at this, this
new artificial god that is being created before our eyes, this is coming from
a UK paper. Can a doom calculator really predict when you'll die? Shockingly?
These whiz kid scientists whiz kids? You know, last time I heard
that phrase that was used to describe Robert McNamara, who was one of the
whiz kids who was he's a really smart kid. I don't know what it
was that he did as a prodigy. Maybe he was on a game show
or something, because that's I think where the that came from, but he
was the guy, the really smart guy that got us mired down into Vietnam.
Anyway, they can do it with seventy eight percent accuracy, Well,
you know, God can do it with one hundred percent accuracy. We all
know the Psalm one, don't we. It's not just artificial intelligence. Does
artificial intelligence know everything about you yet? No? But even if it does
know everything about you, it still doesn't know everything about you, and it
doesn't know your future. David wrote, Lord You've searched me and known me.
You know my sitting down? Am I rising up? You understand my
thoughts from afar off, You comprehend my path, am I lying down?
And you are acquainted with my ways. This, by the way, is
the goal of geospatial intelligence, anticipatory intelligence that has been the fastest growing part
of the intelligence community since the late nineteen nineties. They want to have this
godlike knowledge of everyone. But they did not create us. David goes on
to say to God, you formed my inward parts. You covered me in
my mother's womb. I'll praise you for I'm fearfully and wonderfully made. Yes,
we are made. How can you look at some as complex as a
human being or a dog or any other animal and say that this is an
accident of random chance processes? A foolish rebellion, that is the common sense.
You don't say that about any car, any building that you look at.
Marvelous are your works. My soul knows that very well. My frame
was not hidden from you when I was made in secret and skillfully wrought in
the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance yet unformed,
and in your book they were all written the day's fashion for me, when
there is yet none of them. And so when we look at the stories
that we had this last week, I gave you a couple of stories about
people who had children that had trisomy eighteen. They had diagnosed this, accurately
diagnosed it in a couple of these cases, and the children did not survive
very long. But there's another part of that story. Part of the reason
why children are not surviving very long would try some me eighteen is because of
diagnosis more than anything else. The doctors look at him and say, oh,
try some me eighteen. There's no point even doing anything about this.
And yet they have found that if they actually give the kids some treatment,
that their chances of survival go way way up, way way up. But
typically they'll look at it and say, the kid's going to die anyway,
We're not going to give them any health care. Does that sound familiar?
Is that something that we've seen done to adults. Is that something we've seen
done at the end of life? Is that something that we saw throughout COVID
nineteen I just but it do not resuscitate tag on them. As a matter
of fact. You know, the story of amazing Grace Scott who came on
and talked about it, and you know he's bringing them to trial because they
said, well, she's got COVID, what's the point and she's got down
syndrome anyway, we'll just put it, do not resustate on there, give
her no health care. You see, this is a much bigger issue than
just abortion. This is why we talk about pro life. If you're not
pro life for a baby that's sick, that has a health condition, If
you can take a baby that you tried to kill and did not do that
successfully and just lay it over on the table and let it die and call
that comfort care, they will do that to all of us at any stage
of our life. And they'll do it with a clear conscience because artificial intelligence
tells them, I'm sorry, this person doesn't have a chance. They've got
this, or they've got that, or they don't have this, or they
don't have that. And so this is a story from Live action dot org.
Very important story. Try some me eighteen is not an automatic death sentence.
These children are proof, but it can be an automatic death sentence if
the medical establishment treats it that way. I said, you know, we
look at Kate Cox, the story in Texas. He goes to court to
get an abortion, and it was really about trying to overthrow that law.
But it's much bigger than that. You got and Colter and you've got Nuki
Hayley and all of them jumping in on this and see, this is what's
wrong with your attempt to try to protect life. You're going to be cruel
to parents, and you're going to be This is just dangerous and awful for
women, and you should get rid of these pro life laws, say people
on the GOP side. And so this idea that there's virtually no chances of
survival has been parroted by a lot of people who believe that this mother in
Texas should have been allowed to kill her child because this is not compatible with
life. Many people have been told that trys ME eighteen is a fatal condition.
Many people were told that COVID nineteen was a fatal condition, and they
justified that by putting people in comas, putting them on invasive ventilators and killing
them. And of course I made money doing that, just like the abortionists
make money. And that was a Trump policy, rewarding the hospitals massively rewarding
them. You just point to somebody and say they've got COVID nineteen thousand dollars.
You get them on a ventilator thirty two thousand dollars. You've already got
a three thousand dollars profit on your fifty three thousand dollars machine. And if
you can keep them breathing for a few days, oh, you can just
add you know, it's a gravy train. And then not only that,
we'll give you a twenty percent bonus for everything that you do. And they
already inflate the prices of everything to an absurd extreme. And then wait one
year, and after these people have gotten addicted to these obscene, obscene profits,
then Biden comes around and says, I'm going to take all those Trump
bonuses away from you. If you don't vaccinate yourself, Yeah, go kill
yourself now. And so we've seen this with COVID nineteen. Now we're seeing
it. Would try some me eighteen, Oh, I'm sorry, you got
a fatal condition, no point in even trying. Do not resuscitate. But
a twenty seventeen study from Stanford and the University of Arkansas revealed that children would
try some eighteen diagnoses are more likely to survive if they undergo pediatric art surgery.
In addition, a study two years later in twenty nineteen showed that ninety
percent of children would try some ME eighteen survived after their hearts were repaired.
But they use this to try to get all kids killed. Try some ME
eighteen or COVID nineteen. Same thing, isn't it? And principle, And
I thought this is very interesting. You a Rick Sentorum. I had a
lot of issues with his policies, but he was a family man, and
he was very staunchly anti abortion. And here's one of the reasons he and
his wife, former Senator Rick sendtorm out of Pennsylvania. Of course, he's
run for president unsuccessfully in the past as well. But he and his wife
have a daughter who turned fifteen years old this year, who has trisomy eighteen.
They refused to abort her even though she had been diagnosed with US and
they told her it was quote incompatible with life. And so when in culture
and I read you some of what Ann Culter said the other day, I
read you what Nicki Haley said. And Ann Coulter, who shame on her,
She's to promote life. She's just a political hack now talking about how
being pro life is an albatross around our neck. She knows better. She
knows Trump is an albatross. But anyway, she went after pro life policies
and so when she did that, Rick Antorum responded with a tweet to Anne
Coulter and he said, quote, try Somemy eighteen is not a condition that
is incompatible with life. Meet my incompatible with life daughter, Bella. Her
doctors put her on hospice at ten days old. Other countries have much higher
survival rates than the US because they treat the baby and not the diagnosis.
Every kid deserves a shot at life, not to be brutally dismembered for not
being perfect. Well, said as Rick Santorum. He said, other countries
have much higher survival rates because we treat the diagnosis, but they treat the
baby. And then they have In this article from live action, they've got
several different parents. There's a child, Wiley Durson. The parents learned about
this, of course, as they all do when they're pregnant. They said,
they showed her to me when she was born. She was awfully floppy
and blue. Shouldn't look like a baby who was alive. But they let
my husband hold her, and I'll never forget the moment just given birth and
he says, she's breathing, She's breathing, and she just kept breathing and
living. And so she is now several years old. Verity Jacobson. When
the parents learned their preborn child that they named Verity, had try someth me
eighteen, they were terrified. They were given little to no information about what
the future would look like. The information that we were gleaning was that if
she were to be born alive, the average lifespan would be five to fifteen
days. And so we're having conversations about where we're going to bury our baby
and what the memorial service is going to be like. And I just grieved
so much, she said. And of course the stories that I had the
other day that the babies did not survive. But the mothers, even though
they were saddened by that, it was reassuring to them that they had not
added to the babies suffering by having them ripped apart limb by limb in an
abortion, and the fact that they had been able to hold their child for
a few moments of life that they had, but to her surprise, Verity
did not die right after birth. To the mother's surprise, that a she
is thriving in her own special way. Life now is amazing and it's not
perfect, she said. It's not easy, but it is so much better
than we could have imagined, said the mother. And the way that she
has enriched our lives, it's just amazing as well. Same story. I'm
always heard and seen from parents who have children with Down syndrome or any other
thing. Right. We would all like for our children to be perfect and
have no health issues whatsoever, But isn't great to have them anyway? Harper
Grace In a Special Books by Special Kids video interview, her mother said her
only goal was to be able took Harper in the eye and tell her I
Love you after birth. To her surprise, she was able to do that
and much more, as Harper did not die as the doctor's predicted. Now,
she fights for better treatment of those with trisomy eighteen diagnosis. Faith Smith's
parents learned of it. The doctors encourage them to abort. When they refused
to abort, the doctor started going down the planned parenthood script. The doctors
tried to scare them into ending their daughter's life, warning that if she was
born, it would ruin their marriage, it would devastate them financially, it
would make life difficult for their other children, all things they tell you planned
parenthood. The couple refused to listen, instead fought for their daughter's life,
and a Facebook post celebrating her twelfth birthday in twenty twenty, the father shared
a happy message. They said, it's a wonderful life and this is a
special day. Faith is twelve years old today. Our fatal fetal anomaly,
who is incompatible with life, just won't listen to her critics. We weren't
lucky. We had help from a mighty God and from some great doctors and
nurses who treated her over the years. A life is valuable. This is
one of the things that you see through these people who were talking about it.
They have faith in God, and they see prayers in and God does
not answer every prayer to heal every illness or every person. He has greater
purposes in our life. Sometimes that includes suffering and loss. But look at
what our culture is doing. That's other top of a show. I said,
we need to think about culture. What are we cultivating here right again.
You know the same word for cultivation of plants or bacteria. Culture.
That's what we're doing. We're actively promoting something to grow. And so what
is it that we're trying to grow in America or what is it that other
people are trying to grow as we set passively by, Because you can't win
a culture war without culture, and culture comes down to each and every one
of us. It comes down to traditions that you set up with your friends
and family, It comes to the things that you do. And instead,
what we have become is a nation of voyeurs. We just set back and
we let other people do the culture thing for us, and we just watch
it and watching what they want and what they produce out of life. That
becomes our culture, our passive voyeur culture. And so you've got a college
that knows this, and they are launching a movie contest not to celebrate life,
but to celebrate abortion. Maybe they could call the movie It's a Wonderful
Murder. Barnard College wants to celebrate and support abortion stories. They have their
annual Athena film festival, named after a goddess. Right. They recently closed
submissions for mentorship program winners of a script competition will be announced at the Film
Festival scheduled for February the twenty ninth. And so, I guess maybe if
you could come up with a script, I don't know, away with the
Manger, How about that Away with the Manger. Maybe we could even write
a song about that. Get some money from these people who have a culture
that they want to grow. And it's like a gain of function bacteria culture
that is getting more and more deadly in our society all the time. Winners
of this project or receive mentorship on how to better promote the direct killing of
innocent preborn babies. And they call the project. Listen to this, it's
the APP. What does that stand for? Well, not APP, It's
the Abortion Pipeline Project and an annual narrative screenplay competition to feature short film scripts
which seek to seed and source a variety of narrative film projects which center abortion.
That's the way they describe it themselves. They want to center abortion a
cult of death, a culture of death. What are we going to do
to grow the opposite? This is a so abortionists want parents out of their
daughter's life and death decisions. And this is going to Massachusetts used to be
the epicenter of evil anymore, Elizabeth Warren and people associated with Elizabeth Warren,
Massachusetts doesn't have very many protections for babies. The uh and I'm sure in
these if you look at these screenplays, they'll probably portray the parents is hopelessly
out of touch. That's become a meme for Hollywood, hasn't it. Yeah,
since the middle of the twentieth century, maybe earlier than that. Parents
are just always hopeless out of touch. You don't you don't need to listen
to them. Well, they've got very few pro life protections. As a
matter of fact, you can kill children up through twenty four weeks. France
is only twelve weeks. France is only twelve weeks, and they recently extended
that because he used to be like ten weeks or something like that. But
Massachusetts four weeks twice as long as France. Planned Parenthood's Massachusetts CEO says that
her number one priority is making abortion more accessible. Oh, I imagine it
is. I mean, that's how she makes money. That's where they make
their money. They're not about women's health, they're about killing babies. The
rental consent requirement, she said, was reduced from the age of eighteen to
sixteen, but she said even sixteen is still too high. There's no evidence
that it is medically necessary. No, it's not medically necessary to kill a
baby to have printal consent. It's not necessarily necessary to have prontal consent if
you want to mutilate a child's sexually groom them and mutilate them, and chemicals
and surgery not medically necessary. Just delays this anywhere from five to twenty one
days. So she says she's going to be focusing on quote, reducing all
of the unnecessary burdens and barriers that stand the way of killing babies. Things
like eliminating printal involvement are at the top of her list as she talks to
the press. The desire to remove rental notification laws place as young girls in
greater danger of being trafficked, of being forced into abortion that they don't want.
And we've talked about this for many, many years. How Planned Parenthood
when they get a young child in who's a miner who's pregnant, this is
obviously statutory rate, but Planned Parenthood does not report this to the police.
They don't want anything come of this. Because you know, if they started
doing that, they would discourage girls from coming there and killing babies. And
that's how they make their money. Abortion is Planned Parenthood's biggest money maker.
According to their twenty twenty annual report, they killed six and a half million
babies since two thousand and got nine point three billion dollars in taxpayer dollars.
And then, of course in twenty twenty, as they were handing out the
Universal Basic caame come training checks they call stimulus checks or PPP or whatever,
the Congress said, well, you know, we're not going to give that
to Planned Parenthood, but the Democrats did anyway. It was in the law
that it wasn't supposed to go to them, but they got it anyway.
Minor cannot undergo surgery or even receive medicine from a school nurse without a parent's
approval. However, now we're letting them do the abortions in Massachusetts if they
get what they want. And of course, the other emerging profit center for
Planned Parenthood is the chemicals to the puberty, chemicals for the trans grooming that
is happening, so you can groom the kids in school for transgender mutilation and
Planned parenthood can sell that as well. It's all the puberty blockers and make
money off of that as well. They've got all of this covered. It's
a business that makes money on death. And so the as I said,
Massachusetts is where they're trying to get rid of Parntal consent completely. And also
coming out of Massachusetts, also aligned with Liz Warren is a guy who is
in charge of the Department of Education, and he is the Department of Education
is going after a Christian university with massive fines and it is really trivial and
a false charge, but they want to shut this down. The headline from
WND the Fed say that Christian and affordable colleges are ten times worse than hiding
sex offenders if you look at the fines that they're assessing here. They've made
the accusation against this college that its motto is private, Christian and affordable,
and so they came up with a find that is ten times worse than they
have given to other schools for concealing sex offenders. The officials who are defending
them at the Goldwater Institute, so they're demanding information about the Biden's Department of
Education agenda against Grand Canyon University of Phoenix. They say a lawsuit will follow
if the immediate results aren't status factory thirty seven point seven million dollar fine against
the organization. And so right now the people the Goldwater Institute are written a
commentary about it. They have not filed a complaint yet, not filed a
lawsuit yet. They basically laid out the lines of the lawsuit. But we
just saw the Biden administration as they leave the border wide open and are bringing
in millions of people every year anybody can walk in. You saw them go
to a great deal of trouble to site try to deport German homeschool family that
was Christian. We don't want those kind of people here. To me,
that says everything. They open border, but then double down that isn't a
situation. The open border is not a situation. Well, we just can't
figure out what to do. We're just hopelessly incompetent. It's a bigger problem
than we can manage. No, when you look at what they try to
do with the German homeschool and Christian family and support them after they've been here
for quite some time, they're supporting themselves and they are genuine political refugees religiously
persecuted because Germany persecutes anybody that has Christian convictions to homeschool their own kids.
And so when you look at that, that tells you what this policy is
about. It really is deliberate, It really is a great replacement, and
it's latest assault on institutions that fail to adhere to its ideological meant The Biden
administration just imposed the largest line in history from the US Department of Education on
Grand Canyon University. His motto is private, Christian and affordable, ten times
bigger than they levied against some of the worst sex offenders in in history.
By any metric. The school is a success story, says the op ed
piece, having grown from a tiny school with fewer than a thousand students to
one of the largest private schools in the country offering degrees in every conceivable discipline.
All that happened without raising tuition on students in over fifteen years. And
so now they're demanding that the Department of Education turnover public records they would indicate
that there's collusion, collusion within the Biden administration, collusion with Elizabeth Warren.
So they said, as this guy took power, his name is Richard Cordray,
who has been tightly associated with Elizabeth Warren in the past. As he
took over, they said he and his cronies made a mission to made it
their mission to destroy institutions that do not subscribe to the prevailing orthodoxy at government
run schools. You see this time of year, and Naomi Wolf had an
excellent op ed piece and I want you to I want to read parts of
it too. She's Jewish, she's liberal. I think she's a lesbian.
I think I mean she's but she's looking at this and saying, what is
it about this obsession about destroying all the free exercise of religion? She woke
up with the Trump lockdowns. People call them the COVID lockdowns. COVID didn't
lockdown anybody Trump did. Yeah, what amazing narrative the right has created,
the mainstream alternative media has created. But anyway, when you look at this,
they do have an orthodoxy. They may not want you to have any
mangers in your school, but they want you to have all of their religion,
LGBT, Marxism, racism, all of this stuff that's got to be
there. And if you don't have that there, and you openly advertise at
you're a Christian school in private, they start looking for a way to destroy
you. We were not being paranoid. This is just we see this over
and over again. Bid administrations claim that the school didn't provide information about the
need for graduate students to continue to take education courses. The Department has not
cited any student complaints. Instead, they made a number of conclusatory statements that
do not appear to be supported by actual facts. Said the Goldwater Institute and
their opt ed piece. They said the school allegedly quote violated federal disclosure laws
by insufficiently disclosing to PhD students that they may have to take continuing courses while
completing their doctoral dissertations. In other words, the allegation is that the most
highly educated students at GCU can't read the brochure. So this is clearly stated.
And again there have been no complaints from the students. That's the key
thing. So what is the standing from the Department of Education if there's been
no complaints, Well, you know they're coming after Trump in New York,
even though the banks didn't complain about it. And where's there standing in this?
Well, we know where they're standing this is just political persecution of their
enemies. And you know, I don't support Trump, but that's what this
Manhattan thing is. The commentary from the people. Again, I said,
it's not as commentary right now, it's not a complaint, it's not a
lawsuit that's been filed. Noted that the department's conclusory statements would in any other
context be considered to be defamation. They said, even if they can't prove
the allegations against their allegations, not even student allegations. This the Biden Department
of Education has allegations and no student complaints. Even if they can't prove this,
they intend for the process to be punishment, they said in their commentary.
This is a school that has found innovative solutions for everything from the nationwide
nursing shortage to graduating students, and to high demand and high paying trade jobs.
They have a thriving campus life of students dedicated to serving the surrounding neighborhood,
which is economically distressed but substantially improving because of this university's presence. If
students graduate with less debt than an average student nationwide, and by way of
comparison, public universities nationwide have raised tuition on resident students by an average of
more than one hundred and fifty percent over the past two decades, despite benefiting
from taxpayer funded subsidies that GCU does not receive, So they don't get tax
payer money like these other places, and they don't get big donors like Harvard,
who's now starting to lose their big donors. We're going to take a
quick break and we'll be right and I just want to say, as we
begin to play this, thank you so much to APS Radio for carrying this
and for being a supporter of this program. And we'll talk about where we
are when we come back. I really want to thank all of you,
and I've got a list here of people's names, and I have not yet
read out from Zel, but I do want to take the time to do
that because you've been such a blessing to us and we are so grateful.
And yesterday, with the tips that we got on Rumble and with Tony matching
it, that brought us up to just over seventy percent, so we've moved
up the gas gates to seventy five percent. So thank you for catching us
up, and thank you for the generous contributions and for Tony who has done
so much to support this program again, even setting up David Knight dot gold
for us and helping us through that and helping you to find a place where
you can get gold and silver and you can lock in the price unlike Costco
or anybody else, and you can make sure that you get the product actually
delivered. Again, David Knight die Gold will take you to Tony Ardeman Wisewolf
dot Gold. Tony and Guard will be doing the show next week. We're
going to have a rebroadcast on Monday, and they will be splitting duties.
They're working with each other as to how they're going to split this out next
week and so to give me a little bit of time off, so I'm
grateful for that as well. We'll be right back here news now at apsradionews
dot com or get the APS Radio app and never miss another story. I'm
delighted to present something born from my love for music and the Christmas season.
Christmas Night is a perfect companiment for anything from family gatherings the moments of peaceful
reflection. I hopeless to provide a fresh take to the soundtrack of Christmas This
collection of twenty instrumental songs brings new life to timeless Christmas classics with original orchestrations
alongside lesser known, yet equally enchanting carols. For the listeners of The David
Night Show, this is more than music. It's part of our shared journey.
Christmas Night is available at the Davidnightshow dot com. May it bring a
little extra joy and peace to your Christmas season. Thank you for your unwavering
support and for joining me in this new musical adventure. Merry Christmas to all,
and to all a good Christmas night, all right, And as I
said, I want to thank the people that I've gotten behind in reading the
people on Zell and on zel I don't have any way to respond to people.
It just like I don't really have a way to respond to people who
send us support by mail. And I got a lot of Christmas cards.
Thank you so much for the Christmas cards. I don't have the time to
show all of them. We've got so many of them, but thank you
for that consideration. And they will go from my desk to display in the
house. So thank you very much. But let me just run down this
quickly because it is important of the people who keep this show going, and
I see the same names over and over again, as I'm really am grateful.

again, j H, Linda M, Noel R, Sean S, Matthew
S, Kimberly M, Mona N. Kimberly M again and Manny D,
Felicia H. Gregory I, Jeffrey C again and Ronald H. Gretchen Cee
again, Daniel M. Thank you very much all of you, and thank
you for bearing with us as we read that out. But those are the
people that keep this broadcast going. Thank you so much of all of you
for your support. Let's talk a little bit about crime and punishment. There
is an amazing story that has just came out yesterday and I haven't seen people
pick this up much in the media yet, but as a lead up to
it, there are some other punishments that are rolling around. I've talked for
the longest time about civil asset forfiture. If you know this program, you
know about civil asset forfiture. When Megan Kelly came ton for Worst Interview People,
I brought that up. She had never heard of it. She's a
lawyer and a journalist and she had never heard of it and still doesn't care.
After she heard about it. She still doesn't care because it's about her
right. But this is a sentencing commission that is again proposed restricting judge's use
of acquitted conduct. You see, this is not only do we have people
with civil asset forfeitrue. They say, well, it's not a law.
It's a rule passed by the bureaucracy. So you don't get any the protections
under the constitution. You don't get the presumption of innocence, you don't get
due process, you don't get protection against successifies it because this is a rule,
it's not a law. Isn't that odd? Right? You take the
very fact that we are regulated without representation isn't abomination, and yet they use
that very abomination of regulation with our representation then to deny us all the due
process outlined in the Constitution. It's an outrage. It's an outrage. I
don't understand why people are not outraged about civilized at for for sure. But
here's another aspect of this, and they're looking at possibly reforming this, but
yeah, maybe not, I don't know. This is picked up by reason.
A government panel could soon limit a little known but outrageous practice that allows
federal judges to enhance defendants's sentence based on conduct that they have been acquitted of.
What you've been acquitted of it, but the judge can still enhance your
sentence as if you have been convicted of that. Yes, that's been going
on, and so they look at this as well, maybe we should stop
this by the way, you know, maybe should call this the ross Albrick
clause because it was even worse with ross all break. You know, just
as we talked about the fact they can steal your property, your cash,
car, your home, your business, anything like that, they can steal
it without even without a conviction, without even indicting you for anything. Well,
Ross Albrick who was running Silk Road, and of course you also had
FBI agents who were dipping into that and stole a million dollars out of it,
and they were on trial for that at the same time that ross Albrick
was. But they would not allow ross Albrick's defense to even mention that,
because if he was allowed to mention that, then people might not believe the
government's narrative that ross Albrick was solely responsible for anything that happened on this website.
And of course there was some illegal activity that was happening on this website,
just like there's illegal activity that happens everywhere on the Internet. They had
a big problem because he was an early adopter and promoter of bitcoin. He
put his website on what they liked to call the dark Web. Why they
call it the dark web? Is it any darker than the rest of the
web. No, it's not. It's simply that they can't see it.
And Gotree and I have talked about that many times. But for ross Olbrich,
as these FBI agents have the keys to it, as they're stealing a
million dollars out of the website and then subsequently getting convicted themselves, but don't
tell the jury that. But what they did after they convicted him of,
you know, having the website. There were allegations, but never an indictment,
that there had been something put on the website, murder for hire,
and again he was these are allegations that were made in the press. You
had a district attorney who made these allegations in the press, but he never
did an indictment. I wonder why. And yet when they convicted Ross and
I forget what it was that they convicted him of, the key thing about
the enhancement with for this, they gave him, this young man, they
gave three consecutive life sentences to which means that he can ever get parole.
And I've interviewed his mother multiple times when I was at Info Wars, and
I've lost contact with her, but I have to try to get contact.
We talked about it at the time, and I had her on at the
time because there was a hope at the time that perhaps some of the people
and the Trump administration would get Trump to pardon him. And that was really
when I was talking to his mother at the time. Now there's not any
hope of that because Biden is such an authoritarian and because they're so adamantly opposed
to crypto and that type of thing. But that was one of the things
that really disturbed me at the end of the Trump first administrator, the fact
that he didn't pardon the January the six people, the fact that he didn't
pardon Ross Elbrick, the fact they didn't pardon Marty Gosfeld who subsequently got out
serving his time, and many many others, you know, they're there,
Francis Schaeffer, Cox and others that he should have pardoned. Instead, Trump
pardoned these some of the biggest white collar criminals and frauds and friends of Jared
Kushner. And we know why. Money that corruption. It just made me
want It just made me sick. On top of everything else that he had
been doing for the last year, on top of the lockdowns, on top
of the masks, on top of the warp speed, on top of the
vote by mail election, then pushing people into January sixth, and then he
doesn't pardon people who have been abused by the system, like Ross Elbrick three
consecutive life sentences. You know, the Bible tells us, gives us the
character of God and describes him as defendive widows, father to fatherless who sets
the prisoners free, especial prisoners who were held unjustly. I don't see any
of that character in this character who's running for office. Just amazing anyway.
So what they're doing so with Ross albric they use the allegations in the press,
even though he was never indicted and certainly wasn't convicted. That's why I
brought up civil asset forfeiture. They use that to give him to enhance the
sentence to three consecutive life sentences, but they're doing it to a lesser degree
for a lot more people as well. At the sentencing phase of a trial,
federal judges can enhance the defendant's sentences for conduct that they were acquitted of.
Again, Ross was not even indicted or tried for this, But even
if somebody has gone to trial and been acquitted, the judge can pretend as
if they were convicted of that and use that to enhance their sentence. If
the judge decides that it's more likely than not that the defendant committed those offenses,
so he doesn't really care what the jury said. The judge thinks,
so they say he's innocent. I think he's guilty, So I'm going to
charge him and punish him as if he was guilty. So is that trial
by jury or is that trial by opinion? What is what is happening with
that? That is simply opinion and prejudice of the judges, not a trial.
And we've seen judges essentially shut down juries in every aspect. Uh,
you're here to judge the facts of the case, they say, not whether
or not you like this law, not whether or not you agree with the
punishment that is attached to this Because that's what jury nullification is about. Again,
going back to the case of William penn when he was still in England,
they outlawed the Quaker church. The people decided they're going to meet anyway,
So then they padlocked the church building doors and they met on the steps
of the church building. And so then they arrested William Pennon. When they
took him to trial, the foreman and the assistant foreman foreman's name was Edward
Bushnell through it out and it was clear what the law was, and it
was clear what the penalty was, and they said, no, we're going
to say he's innocent. Because we don't agree with the law. That's called
jury nullification. And so then the judge threw Edward Bushnell and the other guy
whose name I don't recall into jail. Oh yeah, well, you don't
want to put him in jail for our making it a crime to belong to
particular church like our ally, as Zelenski's doing in Ukraine. Well, then
we will throw you into jail. You can take his place then, And
so then their lawyer said, show me the law that they violated, habeas
corpus. The judg's, well, show me the law that they violated when
they nullified these laws as a jury. It's not against the law for a
jury to nullify this, And so other judge let them go. Established habeas
corpus. But it also established dury nullification clearly, and we follow that tradition
in the United States and it is explicitly protected in many state constitutions. But
judges will tell people you're not here to judge the law or the penalty,
you're here to judge the facts of the case. That's a lie. But
even when they judge the facts of the case and they say no, I
don't think they proved their case the judge says, well, I think they
did. He overrides that as well. Isn't it amazing what an authoritarian dictatorship
America has become at every level of government, whether you're talking about a lot
of these courts and judges or these other government officials. And we saw that
in twenty twenty in spades. Here's another example of over punishment. This is
a ten year old kid and he was ated because somebody complained about well,
don't just tell other facts of the case here. This is Mississippi. A
ten year old has been sentenced to three months probation for urinating behind his mother's
car. But the boy's mother is refusing to sign the probation agreement. It's
a regular probation. I thought it was something that would be for a juvenile,
but it's the same terms an adult criminal would have said the family's attorney,
we cannot in good conscience accept a probation agreement that treats a ten year
old child as a criminal. So what it was his crime? Well,
in August, this third grader, whose name is Quantavius Easton, Quantavious,
they have aspirations of Roman Empire for him. I guess Quantavius was seen urinating
behind his mother's car while she went inside an attorney's office. Police saw Quantavius,
arrested him, arrested the ten year old, and took him to a
local police station. According to the boy's mother, Latanya Eson, her son
was even placed inside a jail cell despite posing no threat to the officers.
Quantavius was charged with quote child in need of supervision. It charged him with
that, not the mother, and a youth court judge sentenced him last week
to three months of probation, as well as a two page report on the
late basketball player Kobe Bryant. Kobe Bryant know how to use the restroom or
something? Kobe Bryant? Did you know that about him? He's evidently not
only a master at playing basketball, but he really knows how to use the
restroom. The connection with that just pure arbitrary nonsense. But this is the
case that I wanted to give you the background for. This is a situation
where you now have an eighteen year old being sentenced to life in a hospital
prison for something they did when he was sixteen, and you won't believe what
he did. It's kind of like, you know, urinating behind his mother's
car in a sense, and I'm going to make light of this, even
though they said all this cost the company five million dollars in thousands of hours
and employee shifts. The company is Rockstar Games, the makers of this reprehensible
but famous and successful game called Grand Theft Auto. Version six is about to
come out in twenty twenty five. The previous version five came out in twenty
thirteen. They've been working on this for quite some time. So what did
this eighteen year old do to these people who promote every kind of reprehensible violent,
sexual assault, mass murder, shooting, cop killing, flying planes in
the buildings, all the rest of stuff that's in the Grand Theft Auto.
What was it that was the crime of this person who's going to actually get
life in prison. Was it anything like they model and they have kids playing
all the time. No, nothing at all like that. What this guy
did was he hacked into the company and did he destroy their code? No.
What he did was he released ninety clips of the upcoming video game for
people to watch on YouTube. What he put out early trailer material, and
they got millions, hundreds of millions of views in a couple of days.
Lawyers argued, well, he actually promoted your game. People have been desperate
for information about this for ten years, and so he showed people some clips
of the game, and that got these people who are very powerful and connected
to the government angry. And if you get somebody who's very powerful and connected
to the government angry with you and the government is corrupt like our government is,
they can send you to jail for life. He is in the UK.
I believe this story covered by the BBC. You'll only be released if
medical professionals judge him to be no longer dangerous. Well, what is the
medical angle of this. Well, this kid is a genius, but he's
got autism, and so he is an amazing hacker. He has been affiliated
with a black hat group that has broken into a lot of different things in
the past. And as a matter of fact, you know, he'd broken
into Nvidia, a company that makes very fast GPUs that are used for crypto
mining and other things like that. So he'd broken into some of these places
with these other people. They had him in custody and they had taken away
his computer. But listen to this, Despite having his computer taken away,
he broke into Rockstar Games, the developer of Grand Theft Auto six. What
did he use after they took his computer away? He used an Amazon firestick,
a Hotel TV, and a mobile phone, and he was able to
break into their system and grab trailer shots of what's gonna what the game is
going to look like. Isn't that amazing? Perhaps he going to keep him
in prison because they want to put him on some kind of a mission impossible
team. Uh it takes the Leissan firestick, his phone, and the hotel
TV and does this. Mental health review showed that he quote continued to express
intent to return to cybercrime as soon as possible. Prior to his September twenty
twenty two arrest, he had been a member of an international cybercrime group called
Lapsus Dollar. I haven't talked to Goatree about this. I have to get
his opinion on this. That's what he's on the other side. You know,
he's doing the cybersecurity protection against people like this. He was on bail
for hacking and video and BT slash ee. I don't know who that is.
Is that a game company, Travis, you know, I don't know.
And he's placed under police protection at a hotel but again, you know,
he just uses a firestick, a hotel TV, and a mobile phone
and he gets into g GTA six and he releases all this stuff. His
legal team claimed that the trailer that he put out that he got from them
got one hundred and twenty eight million views on YouTube in just its first four
days, suggesting that the hack did not harm rock Star Games. But according
to them, it cost them five million dollars in thousands of hours and employee
shifts. They come after people who are hackers that they catch them like this,
they come after them with draconian measures. Aaron Schwartz who was not a
hacker, but he was an activist who resisted SISPA, Sopa acta Pippa,
and then they finally got SISA through after they killed Aaron Swartz. I believe
they killed him. They started coming after him. They said, well,
he logged onto the computer at MIT and he didn't have the credentials and everything.
So they got a woman who was a federal prosecutor up in Massachusetts.
They were grooming her to become governor Carmine or Teas, And at first,
you know, she's talking about how she's going to come after him with a
lot of you know, penalties and things like that. Then he supposedly committed
suicide and people got really angry with her driving this guy who'd become I'm a
hero to a lot of people because he had worked against government censorship and surveillance.
And her husband tweeted out a thing and said, no, she just
offered him if he confessed, you just offered him, you know, like
a short sentence with a suspended on probation and that type of thing. She
didn't drive him to suicide. And then he took that down because they didn't
want people to realize that maybe he had been killed. But it's been ten
years since the previous version of Grand Theft Auto. And when you think about
his crime versus what Grand Theft Auto portrays, Yeah, we just had somebody,
I don't know the story of this guy, somebody in Prague who went
on a mass shooting spree. Why is it that we see this kind of
stuff that we didn't used to see. Well, if you go back to
twenty thirteen, when the previous version of Grand Theft Auto was released, this
publication called the gamer dot com UH talked about the fifteen most despicable acts that
you can commit in grand theft auto and after these other acts they would say,
and we love them, Yeah, we love doing this and we love
it. And of course they make it clear they can understand the difference between
somebody playing a game and what real life is. I say, we understand
that difference. Well, you know, you've got a lot of people and
who don't understand that difference, because you've got a lot of people like the
Nashville killer, probably like this person who just shut all these people in Prague,
they don't understand the difference. I understand that there's MK Ultra programs and
all that. Don't You don't have to remind me of that. You don't
have to think that I don't understand what that is. But there's other aspects
of this stuff that's out there as well. As I've said, I think
the reason they won't release the manifesto of this training killer it just shows you
whether these people are capable of in terms of driving some people over the edge.
Yeah, you look at MK Ultra, but you know you can do
that to people with this transgender stuff. As I've said before, make them
hate themselves, hate your skin color, hate your sex, your gender,
and then hate everybody and go and kill them. You know, let's not
miss the clear forest that is in front of us, because we're studying the
tree of mk Ultra. Yes they've used that, but take a look at
what they're doing in a blanket way through the schools, through the entertainment,
through the games, through the films, and all the rest of this stuff.
And so here's an example. The Gamer was saying this in twenty thirteen
when the last Grand Theft Auto came out. Even among the violent video games
out there, Grand Theft Auto stands in a class all its own, says
the Gamer. Nobody can beat the original crime themed open world masterpiece series.
There will always be GTA. Every other game of this kind is just an
imitator. This magical franchise tends to bring a new set of controversies with it
everywhere it goes. They've continued the trend with a Grand Theft GTA five.
They've continued the trend of increasing the violence and becoming more and more controversial to
keep up with how sick and maniacal mainstream society continues to become. They say,
what a time to be alive well again? Cause or effect? Which
one is the cause? Which one is the effect? We always have this
argument when we talk about content. And I know I'm sounding like Tipper Gore
here, but occasionally liberals can get something right. But when we look at
this, is it a cause or effect? Or are they just reinforcing each
other? Is it an echo chamber? I think that's what is happening here.
I think is an echo chamber that amplifies. And both of these things
amplify each other. Of course, they said about GTA five in twenty thirteen.
Of course, beating people with baseball bats and shooting them with small arms
and driving full speed into them with vehicles is one thing. But part of
the beauty of this series is that they've sold over two hundred and fifty million
games by allowing the player to get more creative than that. While it may
be in poor taste and while it may be borderline obscene, we know the
difference between real life and a video game. So we're going to count down
fifteen to the most despicable acts a player can commit in Grand Theft Auto,
and we're going to go We're going for more than just shooting people, vehicular
homicide and brutal assaults with weapons. Here, those are not a big deal
in this series. So again, are we causing mass killers? Are we
amplifying the effect of that? Are we generating feedback effect for that as well?
So first one, I'll just show a little bit of this. I'm
not going to go over every one of these in detail. But again,
this is grand theft auto and this is how you can kill people by drowning
them or you know, shooting them. So here's a guy whos running down
a dock and now he pulls out a gun and I was just going to
start shooting at people, and some of the people he shoots, and some
of the people he scares off the dock and they jump into the water.
And then as he gets to the end of the dock and looks down,
he sees people who are floating in the water, dead, not moving.
And there we go, kill both people. Now let's shoot some people.
Yeah that great? Isn't that fun? I mean, what a way to
entertain yourself. Feel free to drop in if you disagree with this. Travis
is somebody who plays games. Another thing you can do is killing ladies of
the night, as I say, to get your money back, shooting prostitutes,
targeting cops, Yeah, that's another thing that you can do. Or
you can fly planes in the buildings and Reenact nine to eleven. They let
you do that. In Grand Theft Auto you can put somebody in the trunk
of your car and then push them off a cliff. And this fun.
Don't you love games? Games? This is a six society and it's getting
sicker. And this is one of the reasons why, as I said,
this feedback amplification blowing somebody up on National TV. Or you can play a
fetch with a dog using a hand grenade. Oh that's loads of laughs,
isn't it. You know, people think that these things don't have any effect
on them. Do you realize when they want to sell you their brand of
margarine? Why did these people spend millions of dollars on it? Edward Burnees
knew that that got people into World War One and other things like that.
Propaganda for Woodrow Wilson. He goes to Madison Avenue. You may think that
you're not susceptible of this stuff, but when you go to the grocery store,
you're going to be more likely to grab the thing that you're familiar with.
And all these other things. They have a way to provide this.
And so I say, we always talk about things like MK Ultra, but
we don't talk about how the culture is being dragged to hell, not just
by drag Queen's Storytime Hours, which you understand the influence of that has and
these things have influence on young people. They harden them to violence. It's
no longer shocking, you get accustomed to it. It's one of the reasons
why the games and the movies become more and more violent all the time.
Well, because you get it's all there to shock you. And so whether
you look at a horror film or you look at something that's got a lot
of sexual content, and it's got to continually, continually go to the next
thing, just like a drug, right, got to get some harder.
That's not getting me the fix anymore. And so that's why you see this
kind of stuff. And you can do sexual assault of people and grand theft
auto and you can also torture people, you can waterboard people and all the
rest of this stuff. That's what they put in in twenty thirteen. So
again, this guy, his crime was not any of this, although he
probably loves his stuff and he doesn't well why shouldn't I be able to just
hack in and show people this wonderful program that we all love. But no,
he just he showed what they were working on. He showed their trailers,
and so he gets a life in prison in a mental institution. Because
if you mess with these rich proverbs who produce this garbage like this, you
get life in prison, not them, They get rich. Yeah, the
rock Star Games just say it's just a game, it's just for miners.
Well, you know they're the people who are going to take it more seriously,
aren't they. But because he shows their trailer, something's going to come
out. In twenty twenty five, I saw one article said that he had
gotten some code. Even if he released their code, I'm sorry, that's
not worth a life in prison. What if he did some of the other
stuff. What if he shot up the people at Rockstar Games like they portray
being done everywhere. Would that be a serious crime. I don't know,
you know what, what is the standard of that we have anymore? We
can just make this stuff up, can't we. We're going to take a
quick break and when we come back, we're going to talk a little bit
about some other news. I want to talk a little bit about war in
the context of Christmas and a time that we talk about peace on earth.
We're going to be right back. Stay with us. You're listening to the
David Knight Show. Looking for better information. Apsradionews dot com features articles and
commentary along with audio from all the top news from around the world. Apsradionews
dot com well as we talk about excessive penalties and punishment. In Australia,
their e Safety Commissioner has initiated a civil penalty proceedings against Elon Musk's Twitter now
called X seven hundred and eighty thousand dollars fine per day. Is that excessive,
Well, it would be for pretty much anybody but the world's richest man.
Quite frankly, you know this nearly you know, three quarters of a
million dollars, and that could bankrupt Elon Musk in eight hundred years. That's
how much money he's got. I mean, it's like we saw the same
thing happen in Texas as we were moving out. We didn't know it,
but Elon Musk was moving into the county where we lived, and he was
doing all kinds of things with you know, he's got his boring company and
he had SpaceX had a headquarters there and anything. So he was expanding this
stuff out and a building kind of a complex there. He's going to have
some housing for some of his employees and stuff like that. But you know
the people who said, well, we've got we want you to here.
You got to have your sewer connection, he says, now, I'm not
gonna bother with that. I'm just gonna dump into the Colorado River. What
and then this is what we would like you to do in terms of your
curb cuts into the road. It's like, I'm not gonna bother with that.
I'm gonna do it the way I want to do it. And uh
so they started finding him and he said, I don't care what these fines
are. Keep doing what you're doing. We'll pay the fines. I don't
care. To the extent that the people in that county said, well,
what are we going to do? Do we raise these fines? I mean,
the finds are already really high for ordinary people, but for Elon Musk,
he just blows it off. And I'm telling you, you know,
when people get this this has just happened in Australia, and then of course
there's going to be. The European Union is going to do the same thing,
and you're going to see an echo chamber from the mainstream alternative media,
Maga bird press. Look at this, Look at our billionaire savior. How
they're coming after him. Poor guy. You know he's gonna they're got to
bankrupt him in a thousand years. He knows what he's doing. He'll probably
take these fines and keep going. And I'm glad that he's going to keep
something open that is supposedly free speech, but it's not free speech if you
don't if you're critical of Elon Musk, you know that's he'll let you be
critical of other people, not of him. You know, that type of
thing. So again, keep that in mind. You know when you look
at this, Yes, it is horrible. The EU and these other governments
in Australia and the United States especially don't want to have any free speech,
and that is reprehensible. I'm not excusing that whatsoever. But I'm just saying
that he can afford to do this science and it is he's not even going
to feel it. It's nothing to him. But we've got this article on
Nature came out on Wednesday said if you're doing your own research. You hear
all this stuff, Do your own research. I say that, people say
that, do your own research. You know, here's what I'm telling you.
But look it up, see if that's true. Look it up yourself.
Don't simply believe it because Fauci tells you. Don't simply believe that the
vaccine is harmless because Alex wants to promote Trump and says Trump's not giving you
the bad stuff. He's given you sugar water. Yeah, they're taking this
COVID virus which has not been isolated, and they're going to kill and weaken
it. Well, you know, a virus is if there are viruses.
They've never claimed that a virus was alive like bacteria, something you can't see.
So again, it's a model. It's a representation like our different representations
of the universe, you know, and planetary movement or of the atom itself.
These things are always changing all the time, you know, going from
the Neil's boor model of the atom to quantum physics and stuff like that.
I don't know if there's a virus or not. I don't know if that's
the correct way to explain the disease that's out there we're seeing pathogens or what
we're seeing. But you know, if you were going to inoculate somebody with
something is caused by a bacteria which you can see, and you would weaken
or kill it. That's not what that was about. Alex knew that it
was an MRA code that was going to come in and reprogram your DNA and
be self replicating. Why is he telling people that it's going to be weakened
or attenuated and it's like sugar water. But if you're getting bad information like
that, you need to do your own research, you know, and understand
where people are coming from. So why I mention it? You need to
understand that they're going to lie to you to further their agenda. The Fauci's
going to lie to you to further his agenda. Trump is going to lie
to you to further his agenda. Alex is going to lie to you to
further his agenda. They've got an agenda and they don't care what happens to
you, you see, and so these people are running it. This article
on Nature said we did an experiment. We got three thousand Americans and showed
people who had been nudged. That's their term nudged, because that's what they're
constantly doing. They're constantly nudging you in a direction. Very subtle propaganda is
what they call nudging. People have been nudged to do research online were nineteen
percent more likely to believe a false or misleading article over those who only looked
at reputable sources. And you know what they're saying here, if you got
people who do their own research, nineteen percent of them realize that we're selling
them a bill of goods and lying to them about a government or an official
narrative they portray, Well, you know, people do their own research,
they're going to get involved in misinformation. No, they're going to find information
that they missed, information that the government didn't want them to see. And
then they're not going to believe the government's lies, which they the government says,
well, that's misinformation then. And so in this context, by the
way, you have Donald Tusk, who is part of the EU, part
of their censorship, and they're, you know, one of the core globalists.
They just had an election in Poland, and Poland the Conservatives lost and
they put Donald Tusk in. Immediately sees the major TV station there, the
government TV station, that's one of the reasons why you don't want to have
government TV. But you can imagine what would happen here. For example,
you know Trump gets in what if he arrests the people who are running PBS
and NPR. I know, I know you want to see. You'd like
to see that happen. I would not be too upset to see that either,
except for the president that it sets right because the next time, you
know, every time you have a change of election, you know, the
people like Zelenski or the people like Donald Tusk that are allied with the Biden
administration, our government, they want to throw their opponents into jail. We
don't want to have a system like that, but that's what is happening in
Poland right now. So yes, do not believe any narrative except what we
give you, and that is essentially what all these corrupted institutions are saying.
The National Sex Ed Conference has a webinar to explain to people that children are
in danger if parents have us any kind of a say in sex education.
No, no, the people who are in danger. If parents have a
say in sex education, if parents understand what's being talked to their kids,
the people are in danger of these sex educators, these groomers with what they're
doing today, but they portray it as the parents would give false information to
these kids and endanger them. No, they're being endangered by groomers who pretend
that miners have the maturity to mutilate themselves sexually because of the gas lighting that
is being done to them by the so called educators that are there. You
know, it is kind of interesting and I'm not going to take the time
to talk about it today. I might talk about it at another point,
but there is in the UK. The institution that was at the forefront of
all this gender gas lighting that's happening to minor kids was Tavistock, and a
guy who worked there for over a decade has now left and they're going to
close it down at the beginning of this next year because it's such an outrage
in the UK. And one of the guys who was working there has written
a book exposing all this stuff as well. That's all come out and even
in the UK they're shutting this thing down. And he talked about how there
was he called it Transhausen by proxy in other words, like Munchausen by proxy.
So the parents are bringing these kids in and saying, here's my three
year old and they identify as being a different gender, and we're preparing him
and all this other kinds. We all know that's not coming from the kid.
It's coming from the parents. And they're doing this in the same way.
And when people talk about Munchausen by proxy, that's these psychiatrists saying,
well, the parents are doing this to the kid simply because they want attention
or because you know, they they want everybody to focus on them. And
so Mary Ellen Moore of FreeMind Films has sent this to us, and I
want to thank her for that, thank her for supporting the show. She
said, I'm in the UK for a few days and she said, look
at these headlines that are here. Maybe the people here are starting to wake
up. And here's the headline from the Daily Telegraph. Schools told to presume
that children cannot change their gender. Again. The worm has turned in the
UK. They're shutting down Tavis talk. This guy's got a book that has
just been released, is blowing the whistle on all this stuff. And now
they're starting to switch. And sent me the article talking about what they're doing
there. But I'm going to talk about that at another time. I have
a couple more things that I want to say here in the context of culture,
but I don't really want to get into this stuff today. I'm really
kind of sick of it, frankly, and I'll just quickly mention, this
is what a lot of people are talking about with this kid's program, co
Camelan, I guess is the way Cocomelan. It's the way he pronouns that.
Okay, Travis is nodding as idiot. How do you know about this
thing? There's a Netflix kid that they show that they're using to groom toddlers.
It's crazy, especially because it's not even the latest thing that has gotten
the attention. Is this kid. He's got two dads and they little boy,
and they put him in a two two and he dances. And you've
got your little toddlers who are watching this. You want to talk about grooming,
You want to talk about sex education. I mean, Disney and Netflix
will groom your kids? Are you going to let these people have access to
your kids? Are you going to set your kids in front of the TV
set and let these perverts baby set your kids? Because that's what you're really
doing. You're letting perverts baby sit your kids. And so long before this
happened, As Breitbart points out, there's been accusations long before they were promoting
this cross dressing and all the rest of this stuff. There were other accusations
about how it was creating anger issues, ADHD, autism, speech delays,
all kinds of behavioral issues, and how it was addicting the kids. One
mother said, I put my kids in and started watching this thing, and
they became like zombies. They were mesmerized by what they saw, she said.
She told Newsweek, I knew it was affecting him because he would be
in a daze while watching it. You could wave your hand right in front
of his face and he wouldn't move. It was almost scary, almost scary,
almost scary, but he didn't scare you did it. It didn't scary
enough to cancel your Netflix subscription. And I got to say, you know,
if you're there's a lot of different ways if you want to watch movies,
there's a lot of different ways that you can do it without feeding that
monster. Because even if you're not putting your kids or grandkids in front of
Coco Melon, you're feeding the people that put that stuff out, the people
who give Barack Obama Michelle Obama millions, tens of millions, undreds of millions
of dollars to create propaganda garbage for adults. Stop feeding that thing. One
commenter described the show as baby cocaine. He said, taking the kids away
from the cartoon can lead to quote very real symptoms of withdrawal because they're addicted
to it. The phenomenon, says bright Bart, appear to be linked to
the spike and the cartoon's popularity during the COVID nineteen lockdowns of twenty twenty.
No, it wasn't a COVID lockdown. It wasn't COVID nineteen lockdowns, bright
Bart, it was Trump lockdowns. During the Trump lockdowns of twenty twenty one,
popular TikTok account claim that the show is addictive because it is edited in
a way that it creates over stimulation for kids. Do you think they know
that. I think they know that. I think they know exactly what they're
doing. We're gonna take a quick break and we'll be right back. Sometimes
your day needs a little smoothing. Check out the Jazz Channel at apsradio dot
com and the APS Radio app. And leave the stress behind. You're listening
to the David Knight Show. All right, let's talk about war at this
time when people talk about peace on Earth. And this is a story that
was on zero Hedge and somebody's already responded to it, so well, there
may be a different way that Trump might want to take a look at this.
But as Trump is talking about how he as the Prince of peace,
he is going to bring peace to the ear in just a single day.
Besides the sheer demagoguery of this saying he'll do it in twenty four hours,
some of the other things that he said were what caused this lieutenant retired Lieutenant
General Keith Kellogg and Dan Negrea to write this article on the National Interest.
They said, far from abandoning Ukraine, a second Trump administration would lift restrictions
on Ukrainian military and aid in order to force a peace settlement. Donald Trump
is vowed that in a second presidential term, he'll end the war in twenty
four hours. But again, you remember, and we talk about this and
somebody ending the war right away makes me think about when Ronald Reagan became president.
Right as soon as he was sworn they released the hostages in Iran,
and many people believe, you know, most Americans' perception of what's going on
Iran does not begin in the nineteen fifties with our coup there against a leftist
who is going to nationalize oil industries. The CIA led a coup against him,
put in the Shaw of Iran, who worked with American oil companies,
and as part of that, the CIA then subsequently trained the Shaw of Iran
to have a group of ruthless secret police who would torture and kill anybody who
was even moderately opposed to him. They called it the Savakh. And then
that all blew up eventually, that kind of horrific repression. And I knew
that background because again there was a lot of Iranian students who had come to
America that were in the engineering classes that I was taking at the time,
and they were protesting with maskie masks on their face and things like that.
Talk to them about it, It's like, what's going on? What's this
about? Anyway, that was the context for what happened with the blowback that
put in somebody that was equally horrible in a different way, the Iatola,
of course, and the blowback for them taking over the US embassy and imprisoning
all these people. But the reason that they released all that stuff on day
one, well, it was not because they were necessarily afraid of Ronald Reagan.
Was because Ronald Reagan's campaign manager, Bill Casey, was one of the
founders of the CIA. It had been very active in World War II with
the OSS, which was the predecessor to the CIA. They called him.
While Bill Casey, he was very aggressive with the things that he did,
and as Reagan's campaign manager, he saw an opportunity. I'm just assuming that
they didn't have anything to do with the takeover the embassy and the installation of
the Ayatola. That's nobody suggested that yet, But I wouldn't put anything past
any of these people. But he went secretly to Iran and began the Iran
Contra thing before Reagan got elected. You keep these hostages, do not release
them to Jimmy Carter until after we were elected, and then we'll let you
continue to buy parts for the state of the art US jets that you have
here. And then after the election they did that Oliver North and the rest
of these people, and then they took that money that they made selling these
parts to Iran that Iran was not supposed to have, that it was illegal
to sell that to them, and the Reagan administration, with people like Oliver
North used that for their secret wars. They'd also done illegally. And so
when you look at this, I wonder if anything like that is in the
making here, just just asking for a friend. You know, Putin invaded
Ukraine under both Obama and Biden, but he did not attack while Trump was
present. And there's a lesson in that. I mean, don't we want
to have Dayton anymore? Isn't it a win to pause aggression? I think
it was. That should be the lesson. But you know, Trump is
going to be completely different this time around. I'm telling you he's going to
be playing to a different audience. He wants to be remembered. He wants
to be liked by people like Maggie Halberman at the New York Times and by
people like Carl Bernstein at the Washington Post, even though they can they always
despise him. He gives them the premiere access to him and talks frankly to
them, and he thinks they're going to love him. But he's going to
continue to do that kind of stuff, just like he you know, did
his gun control by executive order with a bump stock, and then all he
started the gun control by executive order against pistol braces, and it was continued
by Biden. Anyway, the Trump doctrine for Ukraine's arguing that he would use
his personal relationship with Zelenski and Putent to negotiate a settlement on the first day
and just one day. Both sides appear to believe that they can still prevail
on the battlefield, but Trump's proposed approach says this retired to lieutenant general could
change that calculation. Trump said, and this is why they're basing this whole
article and analysis off of Trump said, I would tell Putin, if you
don't make a deal, we're going to give him a lot, and we're
going to give Ukraine more than they ever got if we have to. Oh,
sounds kind of like Nixon and Kissinger deciding that they're going to when in
Vietnam by secret bombing campaign or something. I don't know. We should pay
attention to history sometimes it tells us things that we could learn. Some Republicans
argue that the Ukraine conflict is a European matter, and it has no consequence
to the United States. So just stop feeding this coup and war machine.
Do what you did the first time. If you become president, just pause
it. As a matter of fact, you know, Trump might understand that
Ukraine and the people and not the people of Ukraine, but the Ukrainian government
that was put in by Obama is you know, a core part of his
problem. It was all the way through all this Russia Gate stuff, you
had people who were Ukrainian, like Vinman, what was it, It's lieutenant
colonel to you right now, Vinman, whatever his title is. I don't
care other people. I used to always talk about Alexandria Chiloup. I interviewed
people from Ukraine, so they saw the DNC there, you know, Alexandria
Chiloup and other people working and conspiring with the Ukrainian government officials, and of
course you know Victoria Newlan state Department official who kicked all this stuff off.
But they said, well, you know, strategically this author as his public
comments reinforce, Trump disagrees with this idea of just leaving Ukraine alone, even
though these people are his enemies. He's gonna supposedly support them. He sees
ending the war as a major foreign policy issue and one that he plans to
accomplish on day one, because you see, even if Zelensky and all these
other people are a bunch of ruthless Obama Biden co conspirators against him, he
still wants the perception of being the great peacemaker peace through strength. But what
happens if we just give peace a chance? Right? All these stupid wars
of empire that never end. And so just give you another reminder. We
see this every year that over a couple of days of Christmas, as the
war began, the World War One again in nineteen fourteen, it was only
a few months old. People had not been hardened yet in their hatred of
the other side, and you had peace breakout, and this was We've had
so many movies about this. We've had operas and plays about this, and
now we've got a candy commercial about it. They went a great deal to
produce this in the UK. Here's a part of it Christmas Eve, nineteen
fourteen. Chen Kins. He's holding their product, by the way, nice
product placement there. He's on the trench. He's looking at the pictures and
the letters and the chocolate bar that he gets from home. Oh rise,
oh see singing song that night in both German and English. And this is
what happened. See movement on the other side of everybody gets her arms up.
It's gonna be a charge, but it's not. Guy's got his hands
up. M M. My name is Jim, My name is Otto.
Please meet me. Those should just should. They got together. They exchanged
cards, gifts, played football. Did this for a couple of days and
it became very extensive. It's not just in one area. Dunk, Happy
Christmas, full of I knocking and they exchange gifts. One of them gives
a biscuit, the other one gives or cookie whatever that was, and the
other one gives a chocolate bar because that's the sponsor. It is a real
sponsor. A piece. Right. You heard them play leaning on the Everlasting
Arms? What was the What was the purpose of World War One? You
know what? What was? What caused it? Yeah again, oh arch
duke? For what what caused No, it wasn't an assassination of an arch
duke. It was the geopolitical aspirations of people who wanted to build and extend
their empire. Politicians who are willing to kill those people. And after this
went on for a few days and it spread all up and down the line,
the generals on both sides got wind of it and they punished some people
for fratnizing with the enemy. And I had to watch that very closely.
But of course it wasn't too much longer after that the killing became so ruthless
that the people on the front lines would no longer try to reach out to
the other side. You see, that's what we have to be careful of.
You can see that in the Hamas Israeli thing, right, that just
the ruthless murder that doesn't end, and how it spreads, and how your
own people are killed and the leaders don't care, and the longer it gets,
the more people get hardened into their hatred. But you know, what
was that war all about? World War One? What was their goal?
How were they going to end it? Well, essentially ended because people just
couldn't put up with the slaughter anymore. And again it was the leadership there.
It was certainly not our war, certainly was an America's war. We
certainly did not have an interest there. But of course Woodrow Wilson, being
a globalist want of disinvolved in that, trying to lay after the war the
foundation for a global government through the League of Nations and all these other things.
But it made no sense for any country to be involved in that.
But you heard in that commercial that was interesting they put in there, leaning
on the Everlasting Arms and old heymn, which would have been around at that
time. That goes back to the eighteen hundreds. But it made me think
of Sergeant York. You know, this is another story that goes back to
World War One. And of course the Sergeant York, Alvin York is celebrated
here in Tennessee, Tennessee Native. They got a big statue of him down
at the state Capitol, much larger than life. I mean, it's like
nine foot tall statue that's at ground level. Kind of interesting. But you
know, Sergeant York was a movie that was done with Gary Cooper's done in
the middle of you know, as we were getting into World War Two,
or we were already in it. I don't remember the exact I think we're
already in it or about again in it. It wasn't just a story of
bravery and of accomplishment, because it truly was amazing what he was able to
do, but was also a story that they could use to shut down opposition
to World War Two. Because people remembered World War One, the war to
end all wars, hopefully, the futility of it, the slaughter of it.
Americans didn't want to have anything to do with it. So they told
Sergeant York's story, and in it you see his conversion from a peace loving
Christian to somebody who will go fight their war for them. You applied for
exemption, I believe as a conscientious objector, Well, I think we can
disregard that, York. Sergeant Parsons recommends your promotion to the rank of corporal
with special detail as instructor in target practice, Captain Danford, and I heartily
approve. I congratulate you, York. I'm much obliged to you, Major
Buxton. Captain Danford, Well, I learned them fellers to shoot the best
I can, like I've already done Pusher and Burt, I mean, Private
Ross and Thomas. But well, I don't want to be no corporal.
What's that I said? I don't want to be no corporal? Why not
wait a minute, Captain let him talk? Well, you see, uh?
Is it because of your religious convictions, York, Yes, sir,
that's it. You see, I believe in the Bible, and I'm believing
that that this year life we're living is something the Lord does give us,
and we got to be a live in it the best we can. And
I'm figuring that killing other folks ain't no part of what he was intending for
us to be a doing here. Well, yes, in a way,
I agree with him, York, with your permission, Major Curtly, Captain
said down, York, you say you believe in the Bible. Yes,
well I do too. But do you believe that the Bible means that a
man shouldn't fight for what he believes to be right? Will it done?
Said? Blessed are the peacemakers? Yes, I know, But do you
remember that verse? I think it's in Luke where he says he that hath
no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one. He said that
to Peter, but he doesn't stop Peter from using the sword. He said
them that lives by the sword will be a perishing by the sword. Or
further on, Yes, I remember, but I'll go ahead, Captain.
But according to say John, he said, my kingdom is not of this
world. If my kingdom were of this world, then would my servant fight.
Well, that's just the plant. Captain. He done said his kingdom
were not of this world. And that's that a difference. Yes, But
it's the long again, York. And you ever read this history of the
United States? Sure a lot of writing. Sure, there's a lot of
writing. And it's a history book. And I don't know, you know,
they gave him that book and the way it proceeds in the story.
So he tells them, well, you know, you take this book with
you about American history. You take it home with you, take some leave,
think about this, and come back. And if you still don't want
to fight, don't give you leave to go. Or you know you can
since you're an excellent marksman, you can train other people about this will promote
you. But the thing is, I wonder in that history book, do
they talk about George Washington, talk about the guy who was present at the
time, Woodrow Wilson. You know, when we look at George Washington,
it wasn't just the Bible that was again killing. It was the George Washington
that was again getting involved in foreign entanglements and that type of thing, and
if he wants to go back and look at other Christian thought, that's why
we talk about justified war. I don't think that Sergeant Yorke would have had
any qualms whatsoever if America had been invaded to defend innocent life. But that
was not our war. I don't know that World War One was anybody's war
except for the politicians. And so we have to think about this the whole.
You know, it comes down to him reading in the Bible, render
to Caesar? What is due to Caesar? Well, if the government wants
to get involved in preemptive warfare, if the government wants to just have continuous
war without any regard for human life, without any regard for any kind of
justification, then I don't think we need to follow that kind of a Caesar.
I think that we resist that. Frankly, that's true American history,
not the phony American history that they portray with us. Then, to give
you an example of this, getting back to Ukraine, we've got a former
US general says that in order to win the war with between Ukraine and Russia,
Ukraine needs to mimic nineteen forty four Nazi Germany. Does he know anything
about history. How did that work out for the Nazis when they went to
war with Russia. That's what we've been saying from the very beginning. I
said it Jerald Clinty. Napoleon got defeated when he went after Russia's a giant
country with a lot of people. You know, people were saying that about
Russia. They said, you know, it's going to be tough for Russia
to conquer the Ukraine because it's such a large area. People say that about
Iran as well. If we get into a fight, there very larger,
lots of people, lots of moving parts that you got to kill, and
so it's difficult to win a war like that. But you know, Russia
one of the biggest countries, not in population necessarily, but in land mass,
and they do have a lot of people, and they have a history
of taking blow after blow after blow and persisting when they are attacked. And
so if this general knows anything about why in the world would he say,
we have to do what the Nazis did in nineteen forty four that didn't work
out for them. We got idiots like this that we're getting advice from.
Not only do they not have any Christian principles about justified war. But they
don't even know what they're talking about when it comes to military history. But
there's more to it than that, if you read between the lines what this
guy is saying. Ben Hodges, former commander of the US Army forces based
in Europe, in a long time Ukraine as they call him a supporter,
but he's a long time Ukraine instigator, instigator because lees understand who the aggressor
is here. It's the Obama administration and people of that ilk. He said,
the Ukrainian government has to consider what Germany did in the Second World War
to stand a chance against Russia. And so as you're scratching your head,
here's where it makes sense. He says, they're going to have to increase
production of ammunition and weapons in Ukraine. Oh you see, this is what
these generals are. They don't care about winning, they don't care who dies,
how many people die, what happens to the country. No, it's
about building weapons. It's about the military industrial complex. And he's saying,
we've got to be they've got to become like the Nazis, and to become
you know, and they've got to ramp up their weapon production, which still
didn't win the war for the Nazis. And the way we're going to do
that is we're going to take some of our military industrial corporations and we're going
to set up weapons manufacturing facilities in Ukraine. Money, Kachin, Kachin,
Kachin, always about the money. For these people. They will kill you
for money. They will kill our country for money. They will drag us
down into a war for money. That's what this is about, he says.
Think about what Germany did in nineteen forty four. Aircraft production for the
Lufwaffo peaked in nineteen forty four. That's after more than two years of steady
bombing by the Royal Air Force and the US Army Air Corps bombing German cities
to nothing, and yet the German aircraft production increased. So I think the
Ukraine can do that with some improving efficiencies. And we've got some Western country
companies that are already there helping and making money. How transparent is their agenda,
these people who want continuous war everywhere so they can make money. Nothing
could be played. Yeah, instead of handing them an American history book,
once you hand them the balance sheets of these four or five military industrial complex
giants. That are they're making money sacrificing the lives of Ukrainians or Americans or
anybody anybody. The US and his allies have recommended boosting Kiev's domestic military industry.
Of course they would. Moscow has constantly slammed the government in Kiev as
a Nazi regime, they said, and of course it is literal Nazis.
They have the symbols, they have the names, all the rest of stuff.
Why would we not believe that they're Nazis. Isn't it funny how the
press in the United States will bend over backwards to ignore all of the obvious
Nazi connections and expressions that are being done by Ukraine. They will ignore all
of that, and yet you know, they're like ferreting out with white glove
anything that might possibly be Nazish about their opposition everywhere and in Ukraine. What
they do is they put a Jew up front as a beard. That's what
Zelenski is. He's a beard for their Nazi government. It is a Nazi
government. White Yeah. So let's be like the Nazi. Let's even be
more like the Nazis. Let's have a massive arms build up and we can
make the money. American and British curators recommend that the Ukrainian leadership lower the
minimum draft age to seventeen years and increase the maximum draft age to seventy They
want people like me to fight their war. And he was saying the things
like I said, this is about I can't do this. This is not
in my age. I can't do this. They use people as cannon fodder,
and they're going to as cannon fodder. They're going to get grand fodder
out there. Hello matter, Hello fodder here we are at Camp Granada.
Yeah, they're going to throw the old people into the hopper here and women
to the front lines as well, throw everything there. We literally are going
to fight them to the last Ukrainian and what we need are more weapons manufacturing
going on right there in Ukraine. Well what about Germany, Well only seventeen
percent of Germans are ready to defend even their own country. Even their own
country. You know, when you look at what has happened after World War
Two, and certainly the Nazis were not worth fighting for. They learned that
lesson. But I think it's gotten to the point where when you look at
you know, what was the Nazis' crime of aggression against other people? We
do preemptive war now with everybody, you know, Japanese. It was a
day of infamy, we were told and you know, we find out that
FDR was included in that, knew about that, Let it happen. And
we've had preemptive war ever since then. So, you know, Hans,
are we the bad guys here with us? But since then, you know,
Germany has become the symbol of evil everybody can to understand. If they
want to demonize your opponent, of course you call them Nazis. And so
this has been such a pervasive meme for all of entertainment and Western civilization that
they've made the Germans hate their own country to the extent that only seventeen percent
would even defend themselves if they're attacked. Now, this is what they do
to kids today. You're white, you're evil, you're in the wrong body,
and now you need to you know, attack other people as well.
This Treans killer, you know, so propagandized that she could look a nine
year old in the face and shoot them. And so you've got seventeen percent
of Germans only would to defend their nation because propaganda post war has been to
hate all things German. You know, it had to be this blanket propaganda.
Yeah, certainly hate what Hitler did, hate what the Nazis did,
but they've made this so pervasive that people hate all things German. And you
know that same type of thing is being done against us as well when you
look at them tearing down the Civil War monuments and monuments to both sides of
the Civil War Union, as well as Confederate tearing down monuments to the people
who founded this country, tearing down monuments of Teddy Roosevelt, tearing down monuments
of Christopher Columbus, everybody, all of it being erased because you have to
hate America. And they've created this narrative where to be hated because at some
point in time we had slavery that we ended. Don't hate the country's where
it is ongoing. But again, understand, this is the game that's being
paid in a America. We're being lied to by our own government. They
want to use us as cannon fodder. And just as the Germans have been
pacified with this self loathing hating themselves, America is being pacified in the same
way all white people are evil. It's not okay to be white. Racism
celebrated in the institutions, and one of the things that bothers me, and
it's one of the reasons why I've not really talked about this plagiarizing black woman
that's the head of Harvard. Did nobody notice the fact that for years they
have been hating and white people racist towards white people, But when it happens
to Jewish people, Oh, you got to get rid of them, And
all the donors leave and Congress says, we're not going to give any more
money to them. Well, I don't think they ought to get money.
And I think that it's wrong to be any Semitic, but I also think
it's wrong to be any white. Why is it that it was not a
problem for Congress, It was not a problem for these donors, It wasn't
a problem for the press, for anybody. When they hated white people with
a vitriolva they now show to Jews. Why is that the case, Well,
we know why it's the case. We know what is happening to America.
You have to be you have to hate all things American, you have
to hate American people, And guess what American people are going to get to
the point where they won't even fight to defend themselves. That is what these
people want. In mid December, Germany's Build tabloid reported that the German Army
was still losing staffing despite the government's pledges to increase the army ranks. The
number of armed forces personnel dropped from one hundred and eighty three thousand in the
summer to one hundred and eighty one thousand at the end of October, with
thousands of vacancies unfilled, the paper reported at the time, adding that only
zero point four percent of the total German population was in the military. And
so the same thing as being done here in America. It isn't just the
abuse of the soldiers through the vaccine mandates that was a big deal, but
it also showed the utter contempt for the Constitution, the other utter contempt for
the free exercise of religion, the other utter contempt for religion itself and especially
Christianity. And so people are not joining the military, but people in the
universities, universities like Harvard are being taught to hate all things American. And
if we don't change this, it's going to you know, we're going to
turn into Germany, a former superpower. Not that we care about being a
superpower, but we want to have prosperity and we want to have peace.
And so when we come back, we're going to talk as a matter of
fact, as we talk about this Jewish versus Christian thing. There was a
very interesting op ed piece from Naomi Wolf, who is a liberal think she's
a lesbian, she's Jewish, and she talks about Christmas and how things have
been turned upside down from when she was young, and she gets it.
She really gets it. I don't know, I didn't know anything about it.
I saw that, you know, as she started pushing back against what
Trump was doing with the lockdowns and other things like that, she truly understands
what is happening now and it's a great take on it. We're going to
be right back. Elvis, the Beatle and the Sweet Sounds of Motown.
Find them on the Oldies channel at APS radio dot com. You're listening to
the David Knight Show. Yes, and of course that's the German version of
Silent Night. Still a knock and but on Rumble, Michael de Silvia says,
I'm convinced that war is just an excuse to demolish all the beautiful ancient
buildings. Well that is unfortunately what happens. You know, when I I
saw this mass shooting was happening in Prague killed according to the count yesterday,
I don't know if more people have died killed fourteen shot an additional twenty nine.
So it is it truly is amazing the body count that is there.
But I saw it was in Prague, and you know, I we used
to travel, but not going to do that anymore because of what the airports
of airplanes have become, TSA and all the rest of this stuff in the
crazy countries. But that was one place I never did get to go that
I wanted to go, and I've wanted to go there ever since the movie
Amadaeus was made, which again I was not a big fan of the way
they portrayed Mozart and I thought it was kind of stupid, you know,
try to portray them like a contemporary rock star, just kind of but if
you can kind of ignore that part of it, the central character, the
rest of it was very interesting, and it was very interesting the way that
it was a beautiful, beautifully filmed very interesting the way it was filmed,
and so they you know, they wanted to show the time very accurately,
and they did a great job of that, but they couldn't really show it
so much in Vienna. They shot some things in Vienna, but a lot
of the stuff that they shot they had to go to Prague because Vienna was
destroyed, just like you're saying there, Michael. So many buildings in Vienna,
historical buildings of the time at Mozart were destroyed, but there was still
a lot in Prague. And so there are places like that that I wanted
to see because I like the architecture, I like the buildings that never never
got to see them. But anyway, on Rock Fan, Jason Barker,
good to see Jason. Hope you're feeling good here. We don't seek monsters
to destroy anymore. We create them. Yeah, yeah, exactly right again
talking about John Adams. So we don't go abroad seeking monsters to destroy,
Jason's as we We don't do that. We create the monsters abroad, and
then of course we bring the tools that we used to fight those monsters brought
we bring them home assive tyranny as James Madison said, so in terms of
let's talk the rest of the program here about Christmas. Got a lot of
stuff about Christmas, and I had mentioned earlier in the week. I said,
Hey, if any of you know where I can find this guy who
I knew his first name was Don, but I couldn't find him on YouTube,
and I knew that, you know, he had done a I just
come across at by accident years ago when I was doing the show at Info
Wars and I could play licensed music there on the air. I give it
a try here. But I found his song and I really liked it.
It was kind of a jazz version of you know jazz, small jazz group
version, not a big band jazz thing, but it's a small version of
have yourself a merry little Christmas. But what I liked about it and what
I played on the show was the fact that they changed it from if the
Fates Allow to if the Lord allows. I thought that was a great change.
It made all the difference in the world. Is one thing I always
kind of graded with me with that With that song, you know that the
secular songwriters who wrote that, I think it was written for meet me in
Saint Louis. That's the first place I remember it being sung by Judy Garland.
And so whoever was doing it for Hollywood wanted to get the Lord out.
And it's like, so, who are the fates that they're talking about.
Whoever the fates are, They've got a will and a purpose, don't
they. But we can't say that it's God. It's kind of like you
know what Krick and Watson was say when they discovered DNA. Well, okay,
can't be God, can't be the guy of the Bible. It's got
to be like space aliens. Yeah, yeah, that's it. That's the
ticket. It's a pan spermia, we'll call it. So space aliens came
here. We know that DNA tells us that it's intelligent design, and we
can't deny that it's a very complicated code air detracting code and all the rest
of stuff. But we can't say that it was God who did this.
So we'll invent something. That's what they did in Hollywood for for that song.
If the fates allow, I'll just give you a little bit of a
sample of it. But I like that, and I asked people, I
said, hey, if you know where this is because I said I saw
him when I spoke at Gerald's Occupy Peace thing in twenty twenty one. But
I said, I can't find the song and I wanted to play it,
And so thank you to Aaron who found this. He said, you mentioned
on the Monday Show, have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas song that you couldn't
find. Funny enough, I shazammed that song on my iPhone years ago and
it's still on my list. And it's by Don Miller. And so here's
Don Miller's have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. And so I hope Don is
doing well. And whether he has found the show or not, some people
did not find it. But here is the song, and thank you Erin
for sending it to me. Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas. Make the
you side. From now on our troubles will be minds way. Here we
are out olden days, happy golden days of your faithful friends who want you
to us, gather to us once, do they we all will be together.
If a lord a lot that you saw there, that is Don and
so if you want to pick that up, now you know his name,
Don Miller. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. The picture on the album
is Don because he produced that album. We put the whole thing together,
plays upright jazz bass, and he's a Christian and a freedom lover. So
you know, support Don if you can find him. Don Miller. I
got this email from a listener, Robert talking about his daughter Catherine, twenty
two years old. He says she's autistic. By the age of seven,
she would still not talk. Over those years, we went through five speech
therapists at three hundred dollars an hour, but no progress. So I told
the wife that's it, we're done. I bought her a microphone and plugged
in my guitar amp. He said, I would make her sing along with
the stereo. She had to overcome all this, and all I could do
was just to pray and act like Sergeant Carter. He said. Today she
performs at Center Court at Lake Square Mall regularly, plus every other opportunity that
we can get for her. She is no longer nonverbal. Praise the Lord,
and that was the goal. Also, she's been playing guitar for eight
years. I insist on three hours a day practice minimum. She attended private
school grades four through twelve to be around kids. Of her age. She
can read music. She has the ear and perfect pitch. As she and
my wife raised butterflies. He said, we plant the seed and God gives
the increase. He makes it grow. At the time of his choosing,
I'm sure he's not done with her yet, so I continue to pray,
and so he gave me that, and then he sent me a little clip
of her singing, and I'll play a brief part of that. This is
Catherine singing all Holy night, oh no, oh nighte, thank you and
Merry Christmas. Mister night, well, Merry Christmas to you, Catherine,
and to your dad and to your mom. So, yes, we plant.
That's what culture is. It's cultivation. God gives the increase. But
we plant, we water, we cultivate, and if we don't do that,
we're not going to have a culture. This is also from another listener.
He said, God bless He said, xmus means Christmas. He said
the X means Christ and the ancient Greek he said, I believe it represents
the Cross. And I have seen other people say that as well. I've
heard one person preach a sermon on that. You know, other people,
it depends on who's their other people will try to use it just to get
rid of Christ, and I think that's the way many people look at It's
just like you're trying to x out Jesus out of history, outic culture.
But I think that it is, you know, there's an argument to be
made for that historically anyway, that it isn't just trying to purge religion,
perge Jesus more importantly out of everything. But I also saw saw meme where
they had X Musk and they should a picture of Elon Musk because he's so
infatuated with X. So thank you, Chris. I just thought i'd pass
that along. And then this is sent to me by Allen, who is
actually the op ed piece that I was talking about with Naomi Wolf, and
she just wrote this doctor Naomi Wolf. And again, as I said,
she is in the past before she was activated by Trump's lockdown andso by the
JAB killing people, she was a liberal. I think she's a lesbian like
Rosa Cory was, and Rosa Cory was activated by finding out what was going
on with this un Agenda twenty which then became the Agenda twenty thirty, and
it was actually a Genda twenty one I'm sorry you, and Agenda twenty one
about the twenty first century. Then they made it more specific around twenty fifteen
they said, yes, twenty thirty is what we're going to shoot for,
not just nebulus. Sometime in the twenty first century anyway. That activated Rosa
Cory, who has passed on now. But doctor Naomi Wolf says, the
thing is, I remember Christmas, she said, I mean real Christmas,
she said. I was born in nineteen sixty two. That means that by
nineteen sixty six or sixty seven or so, I was aware that something magical
happened to the world, at least in our world in America in the middle
of winter. By the time I was in kindergarten, I had some names
for what was happening all around me. At these wonderful times, I grasped
the basic story outline all at once. It seemed that drab interiors, whether
it's a grocery store with its beige linoleum flooring and its sad walls, or
the institutional green halls of my elementary school, or the butcher's shop window which
previously only had sausages and veal shops on bland display the windows of the hardware
store, which has till then showcased just unremarkable containers of grout and drill bits
and cans of paint. Indeed, even the intersections themselves of the road,
which before then could not have been less interesting. Suddenly all these erupted in
a three dimensional froth of sparkle and shine and joyous images and radiant color.
So do you remember all these displays? You know, we were watching The
Bishop's Wife, the original one the other day, and it opens up and
everybody's looking at these department store windows, and Karen said, yeah, you
know, you remember how that was people go to in New York City,
especially she lived on the Long Island, so they were traveling to New York
and had all these different stores, these really elaborate window displays. I don't
know if that all got killed by Trump's lockdowns in twenty twenty or not.
That's still going. I knew that even in Tampa, which was pretty small
at the time, not at all like it as today. Is my fact,
they had one department store. I had Moss Brothers, and it was
a big department store I could find in a big city, several stories and
escalators and all the rest of this stuff, and they had displays in the
windows, and there were no shopping centers in the urban areas that we would
drive, and there was no interstate to get you downtown, so we would
drive like forty minutes to go downtown. My mom would shop when I was
very young, and I remember those displays as matter of fact. One year,
around Christmas time, because it was Florida and kids didn't see snow,
they brought in a truckload of snow for kids to play in, and they
had an appearance by James Garner, who had a new TV show called gun
Smoke where he played Marshall Dylan. I don't remember meeting him. I remember
the snow, but he was there. My mom said he picked me up
and she couldn't believe how tall he was. I mean, he was super
tall. They had you before he became Marshall Dylon. He was in the
original Thing, Thing from Another Planet, and they had him there in costume.
They brought him in because he was so tall to play the monster in
that science fiction movie. But then you know, they brought him down there.
I don't remember anything about that except the snow. But they would do
all kinds of crazy stuff around Christmas time. She said, that's in a
heartbeat. You had giant, smiling Santa, not a scary one, not
an ironic one, not a drunk one. Just Santa with the red cheeks
and the big grin and the fully fluffy white beard. You had waving fronds
of yellow, golden tinsil, bright green tensil. You had red tensil that
was always the color of a candy apple or a fire truck. You had
gigantic sleigh bells, two of them, always friendly, collegial with a plaid
bow. You had cutouts of red sleighs piled with gifts. She's a good
writer. And then she says, and then there were crushes. I love
them, I loved them. She emphasizes these were also called once upon a
time Nativity scenes. And this is kind of where we get to the crux
of what she's talking about here. She said, crushes abounded at Christmas time
in the nineteen sixties. Yes, even in California. Now, I guess
in California they have Away with the Manger, Away with that, Away with
that. That probably would be a top song if somebody were to write that
Away with the Manger, Get it out of here. I don't want to
have any of that stuff around here. Christmas world in the nineteen sixties was
also made transcendental by the sudden presence of Christmas carols everywhere. They were mostly
religious, though I didn't think of them as religious Christmas carols, but rather
as Christmas carols, because the holiday itself was obviously religious. Oh come,
all, you faithful angels, we've heard on high joy to the world,
we three kings of Orenaar. The music was played everywhere, with all kinds
of instrumentation, but you heard it in drug stores and department stores and the
homes of your friends. It elevated the mood at the vibration, if you
will, she says, of everywhere, all at once, because all at
once, sacred thoughts were being thought by thousands of people going about their otherwise
ordinary days. And there was everywhere that warm glow that you still feel sometimes
in crowds on Valentine's Day or Mother's Day, as groups of humans together all
think of someone they love. Also transformational was that the modern world that usually
listened to nineteen sixties music was listening to and even caroling and singing melodies and
words from the seventeenth and eighteenth century. This gave in nineteenth century. So
this gave a sense of otherness and of continuity and excitement everything that was all
around us, since our history was rich and extended long into the past.
Or they're trying to destroy that, aren't they ripping it out by the roots.
That's what radicals do. They get to the root. As you try
to grow this culture, as you try to cultivate this culture like you were
cultivating and growing a plant. The radicals come along and try to rip it
out by the root. That's what they do. And she's onto that game.
Continue with what she had to say. Our history was rich and extended
long into the past, and since we were experiencing openings into the sounds of
other times, whose worship and joys tended to that very day. But eventually
the Nativity scenes and the Nativity plays and the carols even became quote controversial,
yeah, because we have to push Christ out of that. In the nineteen
sixties through to the nineteen seventies and into the early nineteen eighties, Christmas movie
still had messages about home and family and to goetherness and redemption and things like
that. And again gradually even as you're looking as she starts to describe things
like that and the movies Charlie Brown Christmas and things like that. And there's
a strong current, as I pointed out before, of nostalgia throughout Christmas music.
And there's nothing wrong with that, and there's nothing wrong with having a
good time, and there's nothing wrong with any of this stuff. Per se
until that becomes the thing, until that becomes the only thing, she said.
I noticed in the nineteen eighties, when I was a young college and
graduate student, the Christmas still carried that high elevating energy, that sacred quality.
But over time I felt the Christmas spirit eroding and dying down. I
noticed that the pop culture was adding a whole new cast of personalities to Christmas,
exalting them while dialing down others pea Nuts. The cartoon series had been
openly spiritually oriented in its treatment of the season. A Charlie Brown Christmas that
debuted in nineteen sixty five. Remember, they talk about all the current stuff
and anything, but at the core of it, they get down to Lionis
saying, well, I'll tell you what Christmas is about Charlie Brown. He
reads the account from Luke, but she said. In the nineteen eighties,
as it unfolded, Peanuts became less and less culturally central, replaced by Doctor
Seuss's Grinch who Stole Christmas nineteen sixty six. That was a fairly new character,
but it started to get more and more tractions, he said. And
then when you looked at what the lyrics were about, she said, you
know the carol that they sing in whovill it says almost sounds like it's Latin
fa who fores daho dorez welcome all who's far and near, Welcome Christmas.
Fa who ramas Welcome Christmas, dahoo damas. She says, Well, that's
sweet. It doesn't have any discernible meaning. What about Rudolph and Red Nose
Rain there That'd been a minor character launched in nineteen thirty nine in a song,
but now it became the central and super important character, you know,
along with Elves and expanding at eighteen twenty three poem The Night before Christmas.
All this was building, and a lot of this was done again through the
music, as the music became increasingly either nostalgic or focused on Santa and Elves
and Rudolph, all these characters in side. Narratives are fun, but they're
not actually about Christmas, about the birth of the christ child, she says.
And then in nineteen eighty nine, an important lawsuit deconstructed Christmas and Hanukkah
for that matter, in America. It was a lawsuit the County of Allegheny
versus the ACLU, according to that organization's website, and they're very proud of
that. Two public sponsored holiday displays in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, were challenged by
the ACLU. The first display involved a Christian Nativity scene inside the Allegheny County
Courthouse. The second display was a large Hankkah menora erected each year by the
Shabbad Jewish organization outside the city county building. The ASLU claimed that both displays
constituted state endorsement of a religion, and the case was decided together with well
both of these different ones. They had two aspects of it, the manora
aspect and the nativitous Nativity scene. She said. I was surprised to read
this because in the yawning ever hungry abyss, where national memories that don't fit
the narrative go to die. The fact that the ACLU took aim at this
famous case against the display of a public manora, as well as against a
public Christian crash, has been utterly lost to history. Those who want to
share their Nativity scenes openly in public with their neighbors are depicted in this narrative
as thug like Christian white supremacists. Has been entirely erased from American history.
That the people of Alleghany got in trouble with the ACLU for inviting their Jewish
neighbors to share with a larger community the joy, the pride, and the
symbolism of their minority religion Hanukkah. Indeed, this case that changed America is
an odd one, as weirdly decided, she says as Roe v. Wade.
According to the ACLU, the central question of the case was whether or
not the two displays, one remember was Christian and one was Jewish, whether
these two displays violated the Establishment clause of the First Amendment. Court said that
one symbol did and one did not. Isn't it interesting? In a five
to four decision, the court held the Nativity scene inside the courthouse unmistakably endorsed
Christianity and violation of the Establishment clause. It had on it glory to God
for the birth of Jesus Christ. The county, they said, sent a
clear message with that that it supported and promoted Christian orthodoxy. Six of the
justices concluded that the display involving the minora was constitutionally legitimate given its particular physical
setting. She says, as a Jew, I find the reasoning in Allegheny
versus the ASLU to be odd. How is it that a manora outside the
courthouse is not establishing a religion, but an activity scene inside the courthouse is
Why not move both of them outside the courthouse and invite other religious displays.
Well, here's the thing, you know, and she does get this.
There is a difference between establishment and exercise. And this is how they got
it wrong. They equate the two, and the ASLU has done this over
and over again. Free exercise religion is not establishment. We've had this victory
in that case. As a matter of fact, half shirt lift with they
had a place where anybody could fly a flag and a regulation for that.
He decided he would fly a Christian flag, and they said, no,
you can't do it. Once they found out they approved it, and then
once once he said, well, this is a Christian flag. He said,
no, then you can't put it up. He took it to the
Supreme courtin he won and said, that's viewpoint discrimination. You're not endorsing this
religion. You're just giving him access to the same stuff that everybody else has.
And so it's starting our understanding of this. It's starting to turn around.
But it all hinges really on understanding that to allow people to freely exercise
the religion, like the coach who after the game would go to the fifty
yard line and kneel and silently pray. Allowing people to exercise the religion even
if it is on some sacred government property which they think is sacred, that
is not an establishment, she says. Is it China that is at war
with our religious freedom, our freedom to worship? Is it China? Are
they our enemies? Or is it I don't know, Maybe you know the
American government as we met the enemy and they us, or more accurately,
they as us, she said. I would say the people of Alleghany actually
had it mostly right. She said. Paradoxically, the people of Alleghany's openness
to America's multiple free and open expression of worship is exactly what the Establishment Clause
is meant to protect. Our constitution does not say anywhere, and certainly not
in the Establishment Clause, that we have to hide symbols of our various religious
expressions. It says just the opposite. And you know, you see these
groups that push this. Now, it's not just the ASL. You've got
a lot of groups that decided that they can make a lot of money doing
this, and they do it. They make a lot of money with their
lawsuits. There's one organization called the Freedom from Religion, and you see them
all over the place. But that's not what the First Amendment says. The
First Amendment says, the freedom of religion makes all the difference in the world.
It's like the difference between a song that says away in the Manger and
a song that says away with the manger. It is freedom of religion,
not from religion. And they want to put religion in the closet. They
want to banish it entirely. She said. I remember the media coverage of
this case. Newsweeklies reported it as if thank God, the ACLU has finally
saved America from being ravished by screaming Bible thumpers. There was a little questioning
of what this decision would do to us, or even if it was a
correct interpretation by the court. So overnight, she said, it seemed to
me people reacted understandably enough. By scrubbing the religious expressions of the holidays.
The playlists in Christmas time changed. All the religious carols vanished like melted snow.
In came poppy, bouncy tunes that have become quote unquote classics, but
they are also not actually about Christmas. Things like Baby It's Cold Outside made
a big comeback from nineteen forty four I saw Mama Kissing Santa Claus or Now
We've Got as the number one hit. Rocking Round the Christmas Tree took at
sixty five years, I think to get to number one, but finally got
there for Brenda Lee, written by the Way by the same ten Panelley songwriter
that wrote Rudolph Red Nose Reindeer or you Got All I Want for Christmas is
Jesus, No, it's you, It's you, all right, Carriously The
nineteen fifty seven jingle bell Rock by the Way, also written by the same
songwriter who wrote Rocking Around the Christmas Tree or Rudolph Red Nose reindeer. So
that's about dancing, right, So you've got Jack Frost nipping at your nose,
a Christmas song, all these things winter nostalgia, some of them about
family, a lot of them about reindeer and elves and Santa and everything,
but again moving Christ out of it. And so The Daily Mail reported in
twenty twenty that half of Britain's schools had canceled Nativity plays. Surely the breaking
of the chain of memory among generations of British school children, this breaking of
the chain between generations of children, was one goal of the Trump lockdowns.
And she doesn't put Trump in there. I always put Trump in there with
the lockdowns because that was his policy. Well, it wasn't his policy.
It was the World Economic Forum and the UN's policy, but he executed for
them. She said. This is a point that I made generally in my
book The Bodies of Others. She said alarmingly, when I searched Daily Mail
and Nativity plays no more, I saw stories about schools banning Nativity plays or
barring parents from attending their own children's Nativity plays. Go back to twenty twelve.
That's when they started doing this stuff. Twenty necessarily just picked up there.
So there was a drumbeat of escalation in recent years. This is the
drip, drip, drip of water intentionally set to slowly boil of deliberate cultural
change. You do it from the inside, You do it chaos, and
you do it iteratively. It's about you said, so, of course you
know where this is going. Because Marxists do not like families, just as
they don't like religion. Schools in England now ban parents from attending their own
children's Nativity plays due to colds flues and supposedly COVID. The state has finally
taken your child and taken away Christmas. So what else debut? By the
twenty eighteens, you had a range of new Christmas movies that depicted cherished Christmas
symbols as tawdry, drunk, or sexually licentious, such as the twenty fourteen
film Bad Santa with Billy Bob Thornton. And she's got a picture of that
there in the article of Billy Bob Thornton. The and the picture that she
put up was for their unrated version that they put out there is twenty twenty
two's It's a Wonderful Binge A send up of Christmas classics, but in this
holiday movie, Saint Nick is inebriated and the setting is the world in which
all alcohol is banned. So Christmas represents the one time to binge on intoxicants.
Isn't that great? Well, you know, have you had enough think
about this? Think about what you can do to cultivate things that are good,
things that are pure with your family. Think about what you can do
to cultivate their relationship with Christ. You know, because liberty and family are
great, and we've got a lot of songs and traditions and movies that celebrate
those things. But those are simple the blessings, and we don't want to
grab just the gift and forget the giver. We don't want to look at
the trappings of the blessings that God has given us and forget the source of
those blessings. And that's one of the reasons why this is happening. You
know. Culture is downstream from religion, and religion is downstream from your relationship
with God. That's where it really starts. So reflect on those blessings that
we've lost and see if we can't turn this thing around, at least for
yourself and for your family. You know. One of the things that I
like to play every year is something from it. It looks like it was
a small, small family production company called Shark Bite Productions. I just came
across it a few years ago and I used to I've been playing it,
you know, when I was at INFO Wars, playing it every year with
this show as well. I looked to see if I could find them anywhere,
and they seem to have gone out of business, even though the video
is still there on YouTube. They said when they put it together, and
again there was an older guy who they did a video talking about their production
company. And so they had some young kids and it's kind of some of
the stuff that we used to do with our family. And they had an
older guy and he had worked with the state of Bobby Darren. That's why
they call it Shark Bite Productions. And he was putting together a lot of
archives for their stuff and managing it for them, and they decided that they
wanted to do this kind of a nostalgic production and feature Bobby Darren's song Christmas
Old Aying Sign, and they gave him the permission to do that. And
so even though the production company, the family is no longer around. Evidently,
at least we still have the video. This is what it looks like
and has read you all the different things that Naomi Wolf was talking about that
she enjoyed. This is the family of the nostalgia that they really did a
great job of capturing in this video. Thankies and gentlemen. Here is Bobby
Darren when Missiletoe and Timsulow painted time valent back home My go hellos. I
know for Christmas, Ohli and us we gather on the tree are choice is
all a combine in sweet Accord, the Lord for a Christmas Old, Langzig
and the chant as well each new joy. We share the joy Christmas too,
Langsi. We say his praise, stay of days and pray next years
will be need to share the cheat of a Christmas old. Lying on Merry
Christmas everybody, and a happy New Year. Sweet Locord. We had the
Lord for Christstmas. For Lis. You're listening to the David Knight Show.
Oh that's really nice on rock find Christy Ripperger says thank you for the tip,
says Merry Christmas to the Night family and the Chat family. I live
close to Lake Square Mall and would like to see Catherine. The website doesn't
show her in upcoming events and the info for the future concerts to be appreciated.
Well, hopefully her parents hear this and maybe they can tell us about
that. Let's uh yeah, people are talking about how difficult housing has become
and how expensive it has become. You got babelm Bee's this gingerbread house in
California listed on Zillo for one point nine million dollars. It's very much like
the house I was describing the other day back in the eighties. I was
one hundred at one and a half million or something like that. Thisston built
gingerbread house, as they describe it on Zilo, is truly one of a
kind, featuring frosted windows, well established icing trees, and gum drop roofline.
You will feel the upscale nature of the gingerbread home from the moment you
see it. Welcome to your next home. Sources report that over a dozen
offers have already been made, including from local newlyweds. And we've been desperately
waiting for a more affordable home to come on the market, he said.
But we're still trying to negotiate a couple of things, like you know,
cleaning up the icing drips on the windows cells. But this is the best
option that we've seen in LA for years. One point nine million dollars gingerbread
house. And then there's this article from zero Hedge rocking round the plastic tree.
This is another one of the traditions that seems to have gone by the
wayside. You know, it used to be that was something that even when
I lived in Tampa that was you know, as hot as it was there.
We would get Christmas trees, real Christmas trees every year here and that
was a big part of it. We always enjoyed. It's a big part
of a lot of the Christmas movies, you know, like Christmas Vacation or
Christmas Story going to Christmas tree lots or in the extreme case for comedy the
I think some people would go out to the Christmas tree farms and get it.
But you know, Christmas Vacation around here, you know, it looked
last year because I thought it'd be nice to get something that because I love
the way they smell. But I didn't see anywhere around here where there was
on them. I guess there is somewhere. We used to get them from
Western North Carolina. That's where they used to bring them down from to Tampa.
And it was always we go around our thing in Florida because it was
always so hot. You'd make the people, the guy who's showing you around
trying to tell you the Christmas tree would have to open the thing up and
bang it the trunk on the ground and see if all the needles would stay
on. That was if it was not dead yet, and that was a
prerequisite to actually buying the thing. But yeah, Karen and I are our
first first house, our first Christmas tree. We both wanted it really badly,
and it was super expensive for us in Houston. But we got this
big tall tree because we had a We had a small house. It was
probably about thirteen hundred square feet or fourteen. It was just the two of
us, and it had a vaulted ceiling in the in the living room.
But the living room was very small in spite of the fact that it had
a twenty foot ceiling. But you know, we looked at this thing,
it's like, oh, we got a twenty foots so we can get a
really tall tree. We got a really tall tree, really tall tree that
we could not have fit in the houses of our parents and so. But
when we opened it up, even though it wasn't a really fat tree,
it filled up the entire room and we could cannot set in our couch or
the It just opens up into everything. It was a joke. Everybody was
laughing at us when they came over to the house. Couldn't see the TV
set. It was crazy. And of course by the time we took it
down, it didn't have a single needle left on it. And I had
to cut that thing up with a chainsaw in the living room to get it
out of the house because the limbs then were very, very stiff. But
right now, you know, it looks like and again I don't see any
evidence of Christmas tree lots around here, So most people are going plastic now
fitting epithet, Isn't it that not to say that the you know, the
plastic trees are fine, but it is something that has gone away. And
then of course there's the tradition of the nutcracker. Jeffrey Tucker at Brownstone wrote
an op ed piece about this, about the nutcracker, And you know,
it is at the same time that it is something of a tradition, like
the music and I've got a couple of songs from The Nutcracker in the album
that I put in, you know, the the Russian Dance that I modified,
and then the the Sugar Pump Ferry, which I just basically did it
the way it was done and did abbreviated version of it. But I liked
what this a cappella group, Straight No Chaser did about the Nutcracker. Uh,
they did a parody of it. From a man's perspective about how much
he dreads the annual occurrence of this ballet. Here's a little bit of what
they did, raise christside. But there's one lousy traugy. There's a certain
us g is trying to find out. I'm watching the game, but some
things wrong, said my wife the song I know that look must be me.
It's not Lauren p serving no clue. What did I do? She
sounds a disbelief. What. Yeah, that's Uh. That pretty much sums
it up from our perspective. Yeah, I like the music so much,
and occasionally, you know, you forget just how cringey ballets are. When
we first Christmas, after we brought our daughter back, we took her to
build a bear and let her build a bear and got her all dressed up,
and we got all dressed up, and Karen and I, because the
boys knew better than to go do better than me to go to the Nutcracker.
And we took her to the Nutcracker. And she's looking at it like
this place is really strange. Even she thought it was really strange. But
Jeffrey Tucker, in terms of talking about he says, this most implausible American
tradition. You can imagine bringing Russia straight to your hometown along with the men
in tights. It's no wonder why the music is brilliant, elegant, and
vaguely familiar to everyone. It's now out of copyright. The melodies are filled
with magic, fantasy, mystery, love, strange sounds, and you never
otherwise that you never otherwise hear in an unrelenting spectacle. No matter how classical
Old World ballet is, it never ceases to amaze us to watch this highly
specialized combination of athleticism and art and action. Well he lost me there,
but you know, I do like the music anyway, he says. But
think about this. This ballet debuted in eighteen ninety two. The generation of
Russians living in Saint Petersburg that saw it for the first time, was experiencing
a level of prosperity that had never before been seen in history. And it
was the same all over Europe, of which Russia was then considered be a
part. This was a time of the full maturation of the Industrial Revolution.
Income was growing and growing dramatically. Lives were longer infant. Mortality he was
plummeting. The middle class could live in security and in comfortable homes. The
practical arts, and then things like electricity, lighting, telephones, universal medicine,
indoor plumbing. These were in a boom phase. And so he says,
you see hints of all these things in the opening scenes of The Nutcracker.
You're in a home with beautifully lit tree, the several generations of extended
family, which we don't have anymore. For the most part, we got
the nuclear family, but not the extended family. They're celebrating the great season
with abundant gifts and symbols of abundance. Think of the person of the Nutcracker
himself. He's a soldier, but not a killer. He's not a person
who's destined for being maimed and killed or for slaughtering others. A soldier in
those days was a symbol of the nation, a protector, a well dressed
person of discipline and dignity who made the peace possible. He was an extension
of regular society, someone who was performing a light duty, deserving of extra
respect. Well, he really nailed it there, Jeffrey Tucker, really nailed
it there. Think about that. A time began to emerge though that has
haunted me ever since. A theme brother began to emerge. He says,
what will these works that we see in the done in the eighteen hundreds,
what do they all have in common? He says, once you see it,
you can't unsee it. In literature, he said, none of these
writers, and this goes for Tchaikowski himself could have imagined the horror that was
going to be unleashed. Again, going back to the First World War,
he said, the killing fields, thirty eight million people ended up dead,
wounded, missing. That was unconceivable. The concept of a total war that
did not exclude civilian population but rather made everyone a part of the army was
not in their field of Many historians describe World War One as a calamity that
no one in particular intended It was a result of states that were pushing out
the boundaries of their belligerence and their power, a consequence of leaders who imagined
that the more they pushed, the more they could create a globe of justice,
freedom and peace. But look at the reality, Look at the mess
they made. It was not only the direct carnage, it was the ghastly
possibilities that this war opened up. It inaugurated a century of central planning,
statism, communism, fascism, and war. How could they have known nothing
like this had ever happened. And you know, when you look at this,
you have to think, are we on the cusp of something like this?
I have a feeling that we are. Quite frankly, we should be
concerned about it. We should plan for should pray about it. We don't
have to fear it if we are Christians. That's the thing that the gift
that Christ has given to us. But think about how their society was radically
altered by these wars, and think about what these people dependinggon same people who
want to put their weapons facilities in Ukraine because we can never have enough weapons
being built to kill people. They're now on the path to creating autonomous killer
robots, autonomous killer drones, and who knows what in terms of biological and
chemical warfare, not even to mention the nuclear warfare. And so we may
be in this particular situation, this fourth turning, This is a situation where
we need to be aware and we need to strengthen the foundations and the principles
that are going to help us to have a an orderly, peaceful and a
Christian society, because if we don't, it is all going to get swept
away in a moment, just as they did there. Well, before we
run out of time, I want to play for you another tradition that we
have, and that is the story about the creation of the Federal Reserve.
Tony and I talked about this a little bit yesterday. It's a wonderful lie.
I thought it was very interesting the connections between the creation of the Federal
Reserve. If you look at the way they engineered the banking runs and other
things like that to create the Federal Reserve, and the way the villain who
they patterned after JP Morgan in the story, the way he tries to engineer
runs to drive his competitor out of business. And so I talked about that
as I've mentioned before when I did this ten years ago, the one hundredth
anniversary of what they pushed together on that December the twenty third tomorrow will be
the one hundred and tenth anniversary of that. As many people who who were
opposing it, who did not want it, were out, they snuck that
thing in and the Federal Reserve has been sneaking things to our detriment ever since.
Again, one of the ways that you can prepare for the machinations and
the deprivations of the Fiat currency. The David night Gold will take you to
Tony Ardaban's wives Wolf Gold and we really do appreciate Tony's support and friendship.
Then he'll be here next next week some along with Guard Goldsmith. But here's
the first thing that ever got censored by on info Wars. It was in
twenty thirteen and didn't get any more censorship until twenty eighteen where they purged everything.
But here's why they didn't want you to think about with the Federal Reserve
for some reason on YouTube. Over the last one hundred years, the Federal
Reserve has created bubbles and burst them, enslaved us with debt, and destroyed
our purchasing power through inflation. Yes, it's been a wonderful lie for the
bakers. Ranking parallels and Frank Capra's It's a wonderful life to the lies and
tricks that real bankers used to create the Federal Reserve. Human nature doesn't change,
and the greedy elite of nineteen thirteen in twenty thirteen look and act a
lot like Potter the banker in the movie. And many Americans are left like
George Bailey, staring into the abyss as their dreams collapse and they face financial
room. Do we live in a country that looks a lot more like Pottersville
than Bedford Falls? What does Frank Capra's film show us about how we got
here and how we can get out? When the Federal Reserve was created two
days before Christmas one hundred years ago, it was a culmination of six years
of fraud, fear, and manipulation. I've never really seen one, but
that's got all the air marks of being a run. The Panic of nineteen
oh seven was used to shape public support for the FED. The panic was
triggered by rumors that two major banks were about to become insolvent, just as
we see in the movie. George, there is a room around town that
you've close your doors. Is that true? I am going all out to
help in this crisis. I have just guaranteed the bank sufficient funds to meet
their needs. They will close up for a week and then reopen. Just
took over the bank. I may lose a fortune, but I am willing
to guarantee your people too. Just tell them to bring their shares over here
and I will pay fifty cents on the dollar. Are you never miss a
track? Do your potter? Unfortunately, JP Morgan got away with the deception
and was able to shut down competitors and snapped up assets at fire cell prices.
Take during the depression, for instance, you and I were the only
ones that kept our heads. You saved the building loan, I saved all
the rest. Yes, well, most people say you stole all the rest.
The envious ones say that George the size Charles Lindberg Senior warned people at
the time of the creation of the Federal Reserve that it would not stop booming
by cycles, but would actually create them to benefit its private owners. Here's
what he said. To cause high prices, all the Federal Reserve Board will
do will be to lower the rediscount rate, producing an expansion of credit and
a rising stock market. Then when businessmen are adjusted to these conditions, it
can check prosperity in mid career by arbitrarily raising the rate of interest. It
can cause a pendulum of rising and falling market to swing gently back and forth,
or cause violent fluctuations by a greater rate variation, And in either case
it will possess inside information as to the financial conditions and advance knowledge of the
coming change, either up or down. This is the strangest, most dangerous
advantage ever placed in the hands of a special privileged class by any government that
ever existed. The system is private, conducted for the sole purpose of obtaining
the greatest possible profits from the use of other people's money. They know in
advance when to create panics to their advantage, and they know when to stop
panic. Inflation and deflation work equally well for them when they control the finance.
As we see in the movie, all lending institutions have the same motivations.
Now you take this loan. He is erny bishop. You know that
fella that sits around all day on his brains and his taxi. You know
I happen to know. The bank turned down this loan. But he comes
here and we're building him a house worth five thousand dollars. What well I
handled that much? Potter? You have all the papers, There is salary
insurance. I can personally vouch for his character. Friends of you, Yes,
you see, if you shoot pool with some employee here, you can
come and borrow money. What does that get us? A discontented, lazy
rabble instead of a thrifty working class. As a former fdiic chair said,
all too often the large bank shoes their models and their algorithms, and if
you don't fit in their boxes, you don't get the loan. And God
frank legislation is tying the hands of small lenders, shutting out buyers and shutting
down lenders. Today there are fewer lenders than at any time the government has
kept records. Ten thousand banks disappeared between nineteen eighty four and twenty eleven.
This town needs this measly one worse institution, if only to have someplace where
people can come without crawling the Potter Tomorrow, in the movie, George gets
to see what happens to the small town if Potter didn't have competition from credit
unions and smaller lenders. If it hadn't been for you, Yeah, it
hadn't been for me, everybody would be a lot better off. My wife
and my kids and my friends are look a little fellow. Why you go
out and haunt somebody else? Yeah? So you still think killing yourself would
make everyone feel happier? Eh Oh, I don't know. I guess you're
right. Suppose been butter if I've never been born at all? Pottersville the
only business is thriving are vice people are angry. The town is filled with
signs like keep moving, keep off the grass. Bert the cop actually shoots
at George when he's running away, and is no threat to anyone. Everyone
is a renter. No one has a steak. Now you're any bishop and
you live in Bailey Park with your wife and kid, bood blud, what's
the idea? I live in a shack and Potterish feel. My wife ran
away three years ago and took the kid, and I had never seen you
before in my life. See private property and everyone having a steak is the
antidote to Pottersville. Here, you're all business man here, go to make
them better. Citizen doesn't make them better customers. But whether it's the Transpacific
Partnership or a global carbon tax, the global elite don't see you as a
stakeholder. They want to turn us all into serfs and treat us like cattle.
Just remember this, mister Potter, that this rabble you're talking about,
they do most of the working and paying and living and dying in this community.
Well is it too much to have them work and pay and live and
die in a couple of decent rooms in a bath anyway? My father didn't
think so. People were human beings to him. But to you, a
warp frustrated old man, their cattle. Well, in my book he died
a much richer mount than your order. For I'm not interested in your book.
I'm talking about the building and loan. I know very well what you're
talking about. You were talking about something you can't get your fingers on.
Speaking of riches, do you find the salary amounts amusing? When Potter tries
to buy George off, look at your side, young man twenty seven,
twenty eight married, making me say forty a week, forty five, forty
five, forty five, George, I'll start you out at twenty thousand dollars
a year. Twenty thousand dollars a year, you wouldn't mind living in the
nicest house in town, buying your wife a lot of fine clothes, a
couple of business trips in New York year, maybe once in a while Europe.
You wouldn't mind that? Would you do? Would I? Even if
George had saved a lot of his twenty thousand dollars salary, would it have
bought much A couple of decades later, By even the government's very conservative estimate
of inflation, the dollar has lost ninety percent of its value since nineteen forty
seven, when the movie was made. The Fed's deliberate inflation is devastating to
anyone trying to accumulate wealth through hard work and saving. So what is the
answer to all the George Bailey's out there? One hundred years after the government
gave control of our money supply to private bankers like Potter. Well, Potter
had more money than he could spend. But would any of you want to
be Potter? You sit around here and you spend your little webs, and
you think the whole world revolved around you and your money. Well it doesn't,
mister Potter, in the whole vast configuration of things, I'd say you
were nothing but a scurvy little spider. George Bailey finally sees how rich his
own life is as he sees the fruits of relationship, honesty, and compassion.
I beat you here, to you in jail, going home. They're
waiting for you. And if the public can awaken to the lives of the
reserve, if it could even be audited, Wow, it would be a
huge step to breaking the change that enslave all of us. But ultimately it
is God that change his minds and change his heart. God hates oppression and
we can and should confidently pray that he will stop it. I owe everything
to George Bailey. Help him. Dear Father, Joseph, Jesus and Mary,
help my friend mister Bailey, Help my son George tonight. He never
thinks about himself. God, that's why he's in trouble. George is a
good guy. Give him a break. God, I love him. Dear
Lord, want your room tonight, please God. He's there with Daddy.
Please. Gay. I'm not a praying man. If you're up there and
you can hear me, Well, that was ten years ago on the one
hundredth anniversary of the Federal Reserve. Now there are one hundred and ten years
old. All the problems that we talked about have now gotten worse. As
a matter of fact, the censorship has now gotten worse. As I said,
they claimed they took the video down because they claimed a copyright infringement.
But of course where did I get those few clips that I used protected under
fair use? I got them from the full movie that had been up for
a decade out a million views at the time, for free. This is
before they paid anybody for anything, before they ran the ads. But of
course I had their number, didn't I had the number of these people on
what the system was there, and of course they got my number as well.
They censored me. Now I can't even put up Christmas songs. My
Christmas album got taken down. They banned me instantly. But that's fine.
I really do appreciate the people who have stood with us. They cannot tell
you how grateful we comment here from Little John who says this goes out to
Karen because she's from New York. The Yule log on TV. I think
it was Channel eleven. I don't know what channel it was, but I
know that Karen has mentioned this in the past to me, so I know
that you will remember that. And on Rock Fan Andromeda, thank you very
much for the tip. Merry Christmas, they say, well, Merry Christmas
to all of you. And again, since we are taking the week off
next week and have a happy new Year. We hope that this new year
will be happy. And maybe that's not the right word. Maybe we need
to use the word a joyful new year. Happiness is dependent on circumstances,
and none of us know what the circumstances are going to be. But if
we have a connection to Christ, the reason for this season, then we
can have joy even under the worst of circumstances. So I'm going to close
and we'll go out with another favorite of mine. They just play just a
little bit of it, Kenny Rodgers. Till the season comes round again,
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year's to you all. May the new year be
blessed with good tidings till the next time I see you again, And we'll
all join hands and remember this moment and we'll love and we'll live in the
time that we have till the season comes round again. If we must say
good man, let the spirit go with you till the season comes round again.
I'm delighted to present something born from my love for music and the Christmas
season. Christmas Night is a perfect companiment for anything from family gatherings the moments
of peaceful reflection. I hope is to provide a fresh take to the soundtrack
of Christmas. This collection of twenty instrumental songs brings new life to timeless Christmas
classics with original orchestrations alongside lesser known, yet equally enchanting carols. For the
listeners of The David Night Show, this is more than music. It's part
of our shared journey. Christmas Night is available at the Davidnightshow dot com.
May it bring a little extra joy and peace to your Christmas season. Thank
you for your unwavering support and for joining me in this new musical adventure.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good Christmas Night.
