Using free speech to free minds. You, you're listening to the David Knight show as the clock strikes 13. It's Tuesday the 16 January here for lord 2024. Well, I just want to tell everybody thank you so much for your concerns and prayers. I'm feeling much better today after some heart issues. Cut the show short yesterday. We're going to take a look at Iowa. They kind of went as predicted, but there's still much to learn about it. 

And we're also going to take a look at Davos and what they are up to. More of the same, but, of course, taking the next steps as they always do, chaos from the inside and then laying down this tyranny iteratively. We'll be right back. I got the horse right here. The name is Paul Revere. And here's a guy that says, if the weather's clear, can do. Yeah, well, the weather wasn't clear, but we'll take a look at the horse race. 

That is always a part of the election coverage. We'll look at that just a little bit. But I want to go deeper as to what this tells us about our country and looking ahead. And so, as we see yesterday, we had Trump clear his 50% hurdle. That was what people were looking at. Will he get over under 50%? He got 51%. DeSantis, who had been touted as dropping into third place, far down in third place, actually came out in second at 21%, Haley at 19%, Vivek at 8%. 

And he's out. He got thrown under the bus big time by Trump. He's not Maga. He's not one of us. I need his votes. His votes. Give them to me. And so maybe that's what got him over the 50%. Who knows? But Vivek got 8% and he's gone. So as they were looking at this in the run up to this record cold weather in Iowa, one barometer for Iowa turnout in the cold was church attendance, they said the day before. 

And one pastor they talked to said, well, our church attendance was down 50% yesterday, but I don't think there's a one to one correlation with caucus attendance. But many of the same people will attend both. And so I would want to ask him, well, how was your church attendance when Trump locked it down in 2020? How was that? A lot of pastors have not recovered. It's caused. And I'll talk about this later. 

Interesting research from George Barnet. The end of 2023, he said, look at what happened to the church in general, to pastors specifically, and to christians in 2020. It was devastating. Devastating and has not recovered. It's continued to go down. But Trump is the guy for self labeled evangelical christians, and they will not hold him responsible. Of course, Fauci even is not responsible for how it happened. I didn't do it. 

It's the people who did what I said to do. They're the ones who are responsible, not me. I just told them what to do. They're the ones who did it. It's kind of like Nuremberg. Upside down. Because our world is upside down. Our constitution's upside down, inside out. Our morality is upside down, inside out. Our responsibility is upside down, inside out. The buck doesn't stop with the president, even if the buck starts with the president. 

See, Trump told people what to do, and he put Fauci in charge to tell people what to do. But then when people do what Trump and Fauci told them to do, it's not their fault, and nobody holds them responsible for it. That's the thing that bothers me about this. This is really scary. I said when it got to June of 2020, I thought, well, that's it. This country is over. 

We're not getting out of this. And of course, we really haven't. I had a bit of optimism as people began to wake up. You had a lot of people who quietly did not comply. They started making connections. You had some brave people in the medical and scientific industry that put their careers, well, basically threw their careers away to tell the truth. And so there is a movement, and it is gathering speed. 

We still have people running around wearing masks when we still have all of these government control mechanisms in place. And we have, and this is the most troubling thing, as I look at this, this is what bothers me. I mean, I'm feeling like it's June of 2020 again. When I look at these people who worship, literally worship Trump. I've said this before that, well, no, he's on our idol. 

Jesus is my savior. Trump is my king or president or whatever. It's like, no, Jesus is Christ. Trump is an antichrist. At the very least, perhaps the Antichrist. I never called him the Antichrist. Alex did. Alex said, most likely candidates for the Antichrist and said it on air. Donald Trump and Elon Musk. And yet he continues to praise them. What's that say about Alex? He's praising people he thinks might be the Antichrist and whether or not they are the Antichrist. 

They are Antichrist, they are opposed to Christ, they're opposed to his lordship, his morals, to everything. That he represents everything that he taught. And so how is it that in Iowa, that know the Iowa Republican party that is supposedly at the vacant call of people who label themselves evangelicals, how is it that they are so focused on this guy? You see, the difference between Trump and Fauci is Trump just didn't just tell people to do this lockdown, mask up, wait for the vaccine. 

It's good. He didn't just tell him he paid for all of that. He paid for the vaccine. He paid for the lockdowns, stimulus checks that went out. But of course, more than 50% of the money went to fewer than 5% of the companies. And it was supposed to be to help small business, but most of the money went to big businesses, like Trump's hotels. They changed the definition of a small business so that rather than it being a business that had fewer than 500 employees, they had fewer than 500 employees at a particular location. 

How many McDonald's do you know that have fewer than 500 employees? Have more than 500 employees at a location? None, of course. Probably not even for the big hotel chains like Trump's or like the Pritzker family, the Hyatt hotel chain. And so what was the turnout? Well, it was 109,000 for the GOP caucuses compared to the last time there was a competitive caucus. In 2012, there was, I'm sorry, last time, it's 2016. 

And at that one, it was 186,000. So they went from 2016 where it was 186,000, down to 109,000. So it's 59% of that. Is that because of the weather? I don't know. Is it because of the choices that they have? One pastor said, I'm really praying for a better choice than Donald Trump. Many of us truly believe that he is an embarrassment and a shame to biblical Christianity. 

Well, here's your better choice. I got a better choice than Trump or any of the people on the ballot. It's called nullification. Nullification. And thanks for the reminder from Newbecker. He sent me a John Burt society jbs. org alert. Support nullification to enforce the Constitution act now. And at the bottom of this email that he forwarded to was it says, in all uppercase, like. Like Trump screams in his tweets. 

It's important. It is at the local level where efforts must be made in 2024, folks, that's the takeaway from Iowa. It's at the local level. Trump is. This Trump thing is a juggernaut, or maybe more accurately, an avalanche. It's like a snow avalanche. It is out of control, it will bury everything that is good. But if you go to Johnbert societyjbs. org and they said, now is the time for you to contact your state senator and state representative with phone calls and emails as provided for you in this link. 

So you go that link, or just go to jbs. org and you'll find the link and they'll tell you who your state senator is, who your representative is at the state level, and they'll tell you things to send them to try to push for nullification. Washington is gone, folks. It's gone. Even if there was somebody who is on our side, even if there was somebody who was talking about the issues that will destroy our lives, literally kill us, take everything that we have, let's destroy this country. 

Even if there was somebody who was focused on those existential issues, they wouldn't get anything done in Washington. It's too corrupt. There is no movement. There is no slate of people that have an agenda that is about us. They are all self serving narcissists, none of them more obviously so than Donald Trump. They all speak in the royal we, but it's all about the me. The me. That's what it's about for each and every one of them. 

And so if we're going to work on the, we need to, those of us collectively at the bottom, we need to get busy at the state and local level. That's where we can stop this stuff. If we get the right people and there are some good people in local government, we need more of them. If we got the right people in local government, they can interpose. That is what your focus should be on. 

Well, who do you support for president? If you don't support Trump, you must support Biden. No, I don't support Biden. Or. Well, what do we do then? Well, get over your fantasy of electing some kind of a benevolent dictator. Yeah. Caesar Augustus, the benevolent dictator. They all thought, right. What do you do? Well, he told Jesus, he told Joseph and Mary to saddle up while she's pregnant and go to another city to pay tax the entire world. 

So, yeah, so much for benevolent dictators. Even if you got a good one, it doesn't last more than one guy or very long. Power corrupts, and ultimate power corrupts ultimately and completely. And so, again, all of these candidates are really irrelevant to the future. They're irrelevant to what Davos wants to do. They're irrelevant to the fourth turning. They're irrelevant to all of these things. Perhaps you can get somebody who's not as much of a warmonger as Niki Haley. 

But for the most part, they're going to be blocked by DC. And the sad thing is that these two frontrunners who don't even care to debate issues, I mean, they're already running as dictators. All this stuff in the press about Trump being a dictator, and of course, there are interviews with people there. Do you think Trump, would you vote for Trump even if he's going to be a dictator? Oh, yes, I would. 

The MAGA people, this is why I say it's very frustrating for me to look at this. I look at this, and we don't have to be governed by these crazy people who keep doing the same thing and expect something different. And I'm talking about the MAGA grassroots crazy people. Trump and Biden are working in their own interest. It's crazy to think that you're going to keep doing the same thing, get a different result, of course. 

Right? And so we have to take care of this at the local level. But when you look at this, all the print about an analysis of this election and all the rest of this stuff, it really is largely irrelevant, even for the horse race, even if the weather is clear. I got the winner right here. If you go back and you look at who won in past elections, okay, who won in Iowa in 2020? Well, you had Pete Boudigay won. 

How'd that work out for him? Did he win the presidency? No. Who won in 2016? On the republican side, you had Ted Cruz won. When you look at the 2012 Iowa Republican caucus, you had Rick Santorum won that. Prior to that 2008, you had Mike Huckabee. So what are we so focused on all this stuff about? It's about creating a narrative. For the last year, they have been putting out these polls. 

And then by this summer, it got to the absurd level that they said, well, here's our polls. It's over. Trump's won already. He's won all these different contests and he's going to be the nominee. And then either Biden will win or Trump will win, depending on what their polls are saying. They're constantly changing. It's like these people who predict the weather and they're trying to predict climate change. 

They can't predict the weather that accurately. But anyway, winning all the early contests doesn't necessarily bode well for the general election because it goes even further. Know, we're supposed to look very carefully at Iowa, at New Hampshire, at South Carolina. Did you vote for six? He's over here. Right? Did you vote for six, six for two. That's right. The prisoner. So when we look at the results, this is a table of who won Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina. 

By that point, we are supposed to know who the next nominee is going to be, if not the next president. And so when you look at 2020, again, booty gay won Iowa, then Sanders. Bernie Sanders won New Hampshire. Biden won South Carolina and went on to take the nomination of the presidency. 2016, Bernie Sanders won in New Hampshire. Hillary Clinton won in Iowa, and Ted Cruz won in Iowa. 

So in 2016, Clinton and Cruz win Iowa. Then in New Hampshire, you got Sanders and Trump, and then South Carolina, you got Clinton and Trump. So it's a split decision there. Trump went on to win 2012. In Iowa, you had, of course, it was an incumbent Obama. So there wasn't any real primary in the Democrat side and the republican side, you had Santorum in Iowa, you had Romney. 

In New Hampshire, you had Newt Gingrich. In South Carolina, Romney got the nomination, lost to the incumbent Obama. 2008, you had, and this is when Obama was running. Obama won Iowa, but Huckabee also won Iowa. Then in New Hampshire, you have Clinton winning and McCain winning. And then in South Carolina, you have Obama and McCain. And so McCain wins two of those three goes on to win the nomination, lose the presidency. 

2004, Carrie against incumbent George W. Carrie won in Iowa, Kerry won in New Hampshire. Edwards won in South Carolina. Carrie goes on to take the nomination and lose to the incumbent president. Finally, last one, the year 2000, you had Gore win in Iowa, Gore won in New Hampshire, Gore won in South Carolina. He won the nomination, lost to Bush. Bush looked weaker, if you look at those three, because even though he won Iowa, north and South Carolina, he lost to McCain in New Hampshire. 

So what do we make of this? Well, past performance doesn't indicate future performance, right? Like they say on the stock market, that's always the case. But we can look at the horse race aspect of this. But the bottom line is, if you look at these people that I mentioned, all these different winners there, how much of a difference do you think it would have made if any of them had won? Would they have stopped any of this stuff? Would they have repealed the Patriot act or any of that type of thing? I really don't think so. 

As a matter of fact, you know, when we look at Romney versus Obama, as I said many times, it was about instituting Obamacare. We could have gotten Romney care, but Romney care was exactly like Obamacare. Mitt Romney, as governor of Massachusetts, had already put through Obamacare in Massachusetts with the help of Ted Kennedy. By the way, when you look at, since I mentioned Kennedy, RFK Jr. Many people very disappointed in him. 

I'm not really surprised. On MLKJ day, RFKJ said that he understood why the FBI was surveilling Martin Luther King. Oh, really? It's come to that? I don't support that. I don't support that at all. And I always said from the very beginning, as RFK Jr. Was presenting himself as a champion of free speech, I said, okay, I would believe it if he would admit to the fact that he used to be for censorship of his opponents on the climate change issue. 

But he wouldn't admit that. He wouldn't do a miya culpa. And even when somebody finally challenged him on that, he lied. He said, I was talking about the corporations. I wasn't talking about the Koch brothers. Well, you don't give a corporation three hots and a cot. And he went on to say, we give a death penalty to the corporation. So then are, you know, death penalty for the Koch brothers? You kill their corporation, you put them in jail, is what he was saying. 

And he would never admit to that and say, well, you know, I used to think that, but after this happened to me with the vaccines, I've got a different issue on it now. When it came to the issue of war and when it came to the issue of the CIA controlling our government, you could look at that and you could say, okay, well, maybe he's genuine about that. 

Except his daughter's in the CIA. And as Gerald Salenti pointed out on Friday, his daughter is now his campaign managers. He's turned pro war. He's kicked out Denis Kasinich. But of course, it's not a surprise to me that RFKJ is pro war. His son was fighting in Ukraine as a volunteer. His daughter works for the CIA. So really, I never believed that. The one area where I thought maybe there was something positive from RFK Jr. 

Was the vaccine thing. In spite of the fact that he always bragged, all my kids are vaccinated and all the rest of stuff. When he had a Christmas party in the middle of all this insanity, his wife put out in the invitations, you got to show that you've been vaccinated or wear a mask. I forget which one it was. It was either the 2021 or the 2020. I think it's the 2021. 

So I think it was about vaccines. So he's got this mixed thing about vaccines. He says, I support vaccines, but I just want to make them safe. And we need to do the science to make them safe. Well, I don't support vaccines in any way, shape or form. And I looked at it and I thought, well, the most charitable explanation of that might be that he doesn't want the label of antivaxxer. 

He doesn't want people's minds closed down. Okay, I'm going to pigeonhole you over here as an antivaxxer, and I'm going to disregard everything that you have to say. So maybe what he's trying to do is keep his foot in the door while he sells the encyclopedia. But that's not it either. Total fraud. That's what I'm saying. We got to focus on nullification, folks, at the state and local level, and prepare. 

Prepare for your family and yourself. Instead, we've got this Laura Loomer, or Laura Looney, as I call her in the run up to this, and I didn't get to it yesterday. I was going to talk about it yesterday. She claimed that Nikki Haley was using her friends in the defense department to affect the weather so that it would harm turnout for Donald Trump. Well, even if you believed something that was that crazy, you got to understand that the MAGA people are so committed and so nuts for their candidate, they're cuckoo for cocoa puffs, and they're going to go through the storm to vote for this guy if it's going to hurt anybody. 

It would be the soft support of Nikki Haley. So, Cubono, right. Maybe Donald Trump used his friends in the Pentagon to do the weather change. I don't know, but it didn't make any sense at. So. But it is interesting to see what the MAGA people have become. They've gone from QAnon to Lunanon. I guess with Laura Looney, the Lunanon people, that's what we should call the Lunanon, the crazy nuts. 

And of course, she's been associating herself with Trump, and he's very happy to be associated with her. He had her to his Bedminster country club over the summer. He's praised her effusively. He's endorsed her twice when she ran and failed in her attempt to get elected to Congress. She's also very close friends with Roger Stone and with never. I never drank the Laura Looney Kool aid. But I'm sure that Stu Peters and Infowars guys are all kicking themselves because they didn't think about weather manipulation and the political consequences of how that could be used in Iowa. 

They could have gotten a lot of press off of that. And it's too. And Alex operate. It doesn't matter how embarrassingly stupid, if it's sensational enough, it's. It is. Being infamous is good as want. Being famous is good. Being infamous is as good or maybe even better, because you want to have the right enemies. And if you've got the right enemies, everybody supports you. Just take a look at Trump. 

That's what this is about. Many people said it's about supporting him so he can get even, get his revenge. In April, there's a big backlash to reports that Trump wanted Laura Loomer in his campaign. And of course, you had Donald Trump Jr. Support her as well. We need to have her in as press secretary. I think that'd be the perfect person for the Trump presidency. As a PR spokesperson. 

I think she would. I support her for that. I think if we can't have good government, let's at least make it entertaining, right? A high ranking official said Laura Looney was no longer going to be hired. According to the New York Times, Maggie Hoverman said before the intense blowback, Trump had been telling aides to give her a job because he was obsessed with her obsessive, deranged attacks on DeSantis. 

And this is what she said. We all know that Nikki Haley has a lot of friends in the defense industry, military industrial complex. She's losing in Iowa. And now Iowa is set to get hit with a once in a decade blizzard as Donald Trump is set to dominate the Iowa caucus. Is the deep state using Harp to rig the Iowa caucus? Looks like weather manipulation to me. Take a look at this weather radar below and how the incoming snow accelerated out of nowhere. 

Where? I don't know where. There, you know? And as Stu, Peter pointed know, the COVID is real. It's actually snake venom in the water. And Harp was rigging the election with a snowstorm against Trump. And then we have this again. Like I said, she is absolutely deranged in her obsessive support of Trump. And unlike people like Stu Peters and Alex Jones, the thing that makes Laura Looney really crazy is she sincerely believes this stuff. 

They're pulling your leg. They don't believe this stuff. They're telling you. And Alex tells you that the vaccine is sugar water and he's pulling your leg. He's showing for Trump and things like that. But when Laura Loomer tells you this stuff, she really believes it. That's what's really crazy about it. And the fact that Trump would talk about having her in his administration. So she had a little bit of an episode leading up to this. 

Not just the weather. But she came after Benny Johnson, and she said, why'd you delete this tweet? Screenshots are forever. Way to be disloyal to President Trump. You want to talk about fascism? How does fascism help? Way to be disloyal to defure. See, the fascism is with his supporters as much as anything else. I certainly won't ever forget this. She said, really nice of you to stab him in the back after you bragging about how to, you were around him or something like that. 

Anyway, some people said, well, he has a right to vote for whoever we want. I thought that Maga was about a constitutional republic where we have a right to vote for whoever we want. He doesn't owe you an explanation. But he did give an explanation. He said, hey, guys, I want to clear something up. We deleted a poorly worded tweet sent earlier, so now he's going to grovel to people like Laura Luna. 

This is how pathetic this is. Even when you got somebody who is not drinking the Kool aid, he comes out and apologizes to the Kool Aid drinkers. We're in Iowa filming a documentary for our in the arena show about the caucus. We are not campaigning or being a surrogate for any campaign, and we're not being paid by anyone. And they still came after. Know this guy, randy the savage? He's still there. 

Oh, that's weak. That's weak. You got to be fully on board with Trump or you're their enemy. So you can't go there and talk to people about the candidates. You can't do a documentary about the caucus thing because the crazy and angry people. Crazy and angry, just like their leader, Trump. So we have the Mad MAga. And again, just mad can be angry. Mad can be crazy. And so that fits the Mad MAGA people behind their mad Messiah, both crazy and angry. 

Some of the comments on here, self patriot America is going to go the way of every other civilization. Yes, that devolved to child sacrifice. Exactly right. Exactly right. Why would God save it? At least Texas is doing something. Tennessee is doing a few things, even if it's not so extravagant. Yeah. You know, when we look at it, and I've talked about this in the past, I'll mention it again, the whole area there before Israel went into that area and the land of Canaan and things like that, but also just the whole seafaring cultures that were there, as well as North Africa. 

We had the Carthage, the empire Carthage that went in conflict with Rome. And it was just, you go back and you look at what these places were doing, and they were so heavily into child sacrifice. In northern Africa, where Carthage was, you can still find the tofits where they have just mountains of children's skulls. They would have their perverted orgies with Ashtroth or Ashira Poles and things like that. 

And then later on in the year, they would get rid of their unwanted pregnancies by telling people that if you sacrifice your child to ball, putting them on, passing them through the fire, they would heat up this altar. And you just put your baby on the fire and just burn it to death. Is that any more painful for the kids than ripping them apart limb by limb? That we do now? But just like planned parenthood tells people, you don't want to be burdened with the financial things of this. 

You know, you can make yourself prosperous by surrendering your child to Baal. And God destroyed Carthage. It became a thing. Used Rome to do it. He had a cato. I can't remember if it's Cato the elder or the younger. Finish every speech that he had. And one more thing. Carthage must be destroyed. And they did. They did destroy it. Every culture that destroys its own. Destroys its own children goes that way. 

Similar. One, two, three. I'm in Iowa, and I went to the caucus. It was nauseating to see the Trump worshippers. I'm so sorry for you. I'm sorry you had to witness that. It must be something that will forever. It would have forever bothered me if I'd seen that kind of stuff. It really annoys me. But thanks for trying. It's always good to participate, and you do need to participate. 

I'm not saying we don't participate in it. I'm just saying don't put any hope in it. Participate in state government said that over and over again, and it really is true. The people who do that understand how much more effective that is. Even Elon Musk has said, you know, everybody's focus on the thing that they have the least leverage and control on. And he's saying, that is the richest man in the world. 

If anybody had any leverage and control, it would be on that. But he know he doesn't do it. George Soros doesn't do it. He says you focus on the local elections. That's why Soros focused on electing local district attorneys and state attorneys general. I talk a lot about sheriffs and local governments, but you need to focus on those races as well, because that's what's turned California into a chaotic kleptocracy. 

Just looting everywhere, the looting leftists. And that happens because of the district attorneys they got. So that's a very important race and that's going to have more effect on your life than who is present. Just take a look. Whether you're talking about life under Trump or life under Biden, it was actually these district attorneys in San Francisco and LA and other places like that that have made life hell on earth. 

And just destroying the stores that are. Even the big box retailers that are funded by unlimited amounts of money off of Wall street can't survive in that area. So they're just destroying those communities, totally destroying them. Atomic Dog says, I guess I'm weird because I really didn't care much about Iowa. I'm just like, whatever. More interested in my local reps. Good, that's where you should be. Brian and Deb McCartney. 

Those locals will never make it far with the corrupt system. Our reps had no clue what interposition was. Yeah, it's an educational thing for us. Right. And we have to educate them about that. We have to educate them about the NACs, the natural asset companies, these other mechanisms to destroy our society. A year ago, most of the local reps didn't know anything about CBDC. Well, they do now. 

And so we've got to educate them about that. And even if they push this NAC thing through with the SEC, and remember, January the 18th, just two days from today, is a deadline for getting your comments in. And you can find those links to see other comments and where you can comment. If you go to that interview that I had with Courtney last, was it last Thursday? Yeah, last Thursday, I think so. 

Again, you can find where to go in those links. If you don't know what I'm talking about with an AC, take a look at that interview. But you've got a lot of state reps that don't know anything about that Angus Mustang. I would fear that even the local people become corrupt once they're in the system. Happened a lot here in. Oh, yeah, absolutely will. Absolutely will. We'll talk more about that. 

There is no guarantee that the people local level are good. As a matter of fact, sometimes the people local level are worse than the people at the state and federal level. That can happen as well. I'm just saying that you've got more of an opportunity to have an influence. Your vote counts more. Your participation in it, your volunteer work or your donations or any of that stuff counts more at the local level. 

And you also have the advantage that nobody really pays much attention to the local level. So if you can get somebody who's good at the local level, if you can, and if there's somebody and support them or try to encourage somebody to run or do it yourself. Guard Goldsmith, good to see you there. We're getting more of the local politicians who seem to recognize some of the federalist principles, but they mostly live in the rural areas, and that's going to be the case in the city. 

You can forget about cities as well. KWD 68 secret Service agents need to wear white jackets and drive padded pants. Get some long sleeves for these candidates. Floyd, Patriot yeah, you hear all these candidates say what he or she will do to, quote, save America, unquote. I want to hear one that says we'll return the power to the people day one. Trump and Biden want to be dictators. 

That's right. The past and future dictators. They were dictators as president, and they will be dictators as present in the future. Midwest Gunner living in small, close knit rural communities is the best bet at this point. That's right. There's no perfect solution to anything. We can just do some of the things that we know would work if we can get them executed. So to take a look at where we are on this, it was kind of interesting to see the daily skeptic of the UK saying a leading german politician calls the second leading party and the one that is really rising very quickly. 

The alternative for Deutschland, AfD calls AfD supporters, flies on a pile of excrement, we'll say. And a daily skeptic, they said, well, you know, back in 2016, Hillary Clinton famously called Trump supporters a basket of deplorables. But if you think that that was demeaning, think about what Marie Agnes strack Zimmerman, one of the leading representatives of Germany's ostensibly liberal Free Democratic party, has now compared supporters of the rival Alternative for Germany, Alternative for Deutschland party calls them flies on a pile of excrement. 

Well, as I said, many times Hillary may have called us deplorable. Trump called us non essential and shut down Main street, which is worse. And of course, if you think that this german politician calling her opponents flies on a pile of excrement, here's what Trump had to say about Washington, DC. He said it is a rat infested, graffiti infested pile of excrement. He wants to be lord of the. 

Yeah, it doesn't really change much, does it? But the Trump fans, as we were talking about, the Trump fans, this country needs a dictator. Now, this is a report that was done by the Young Turks I call them the young Turds, speaking of a pile of excrement. But the guy who did it, did it in a very professional way. And he just asked them, do you think this country needs a dictator? And he let them wax eloquently about why they think the country does need a dictator. 

Here's that report. Four years of President Biden reelected. You don't have to like the words that come out of the man's mouth, but sometimes in life, we all need a good paddling from the principal to set our life on the right track. Said on his first day, he's going to be a dictator for a day. I like that. Yeah, I like that. Would you rather have Donald Trump as a dictator for four years or reelect Joe Biden for four years? I would rather have Donald Trump. 

I'd like them see the, repeal the Roosevelt law so that he can be a president for a lot more than four years. But we, this country needs a dictator. I hate to say that, but it's the truth. Donald Trump said in a speech that on day one, for a day, he would be a dictator. What do you think of that? No idea. I don't know. Would you rather have four years of Donald Trump as a dictator or four years of Joe Biden as a president? Trump as a dictator? Maybe. 

Would you rather have four years of Donald Trump as a dictator or four years of Joe Biden as a president? Donald Trump all the way, even as a. Yes, yes. Yeah, it's great. Dictators are great. I remember when we had our first dictator and everybody was proud of it. And it bothered me so much to hear somebody called a drugs are. Remember who that was? That's William Bennett. 

We're going to make William Bennett the drugs are. And I thought, wow, somebody called me a drug. Somebody called me a czar about anything, I'd come back at him. It's like, how dare you call me that? He was proud of it. He owned it. He liked that. He went by that. He loved that title. Drug czar. Yeah, we got an illegal, unconstitutional war on drugs, an illegal, unconstitutional prohibition. 

And I'm going to be a czar because we're so post constitutional. Of course, that was under President George I. Bush, George H. W. That he did that. Well, they don't have a problem with a dictatorship. And of course, neither does the left. The left and everything they want to do, they want to dictate to us what we can say, what we can do, what appliances we can have in our homes. 

And one of the people that he interviewed. I didn't play it the whole interview there, but one of the people said, yeah, I'd be fine with him as a dictator, because we got a dictator now, and we do. Biden thinks that he ought to dictate what we eat, what we drink, what we have in our house, our appliances, how much energy we use. He thinks we ought to. 

Every aspect of our life he wants to dictate especially what we say. First Amendment's dead under him. And so you got Iowa evangelicals. Trump is ordained by God, and again, wearing the jackets, his legal problems are really what have galvanized them, says this Washington Post headline. And it's true. Trump's current legal problems, including allegations involving paying hush money to an adult film Star. Yeah, he's, let's say, having relations with a porn star, paying her hush money, and now he's being sued for that. 

And then his allegations of rape and defamation with another person, and that made him into a hero. As one of these people know, he is our David and our Goliath. It's like, well, have you read that story? Do you realize that Goliath is the bad guy? Are you saying that Trump is our good guy and our bad guy? I might be able to get on board with that analysis. 

I don't know that he's David, but he certainly is a Goliath, especially right now. So, Iowa senator, finally, somebody got it right. Iowa Senate President Amy Sinclair has endorsed DeSantis. She's critical of this video. God created Trump. And, oh, by the way, in his final rally, that's how he ended the final rally. He's so proud of that phony, blasphemous commercial. God created Trump. I think the best response I've seen of that, somebody had a meme they put up, and it was Groucho Marx. 

And you've seen the Groucho Marx, where he's got a matronly, middle aged woman that's taller than he is, and she's all dressed up. He's talking to her in this still picture, and she said, God gave us Trump. And Groucho says, what, he run out of locusts? Yeah, he's there. He's there because God ordained it. But is he there as a blessing or as a curse? That's the question. 

Anyway, the president of the Iowa Senate said, if you have to make yourself into a christian by making a video, then you're probably trying too hard. Maybe instead you should just act like one. I guess that's why Amy is president. She knows how to distill this to its essence. And so you have a couple of pastors that they talked to, the Washington Post. They said they're not very happy with the fact that Trump called the state's six week abortion ban terrible. 

He called the abortion ban that DeSantis did. Too harsh. All the rest of the stuff. Too harsh. I guess stopping the abortion of babies in early ages is too harsh. You should wait until they're a little bit older and then dismember them. Right? Isn't that what they're really saying? Isn't that what Trump and Pence and all these people. No, we need to make it 15 weeks. Why? Do you want the babies to be more cognizant of what's going on or feel the pain more? What is it that you want? To increase the age of killing babies now? Where do we stop? Do we stop at birth? And so they said, well, that's just a slap in the face of the people in the state of Iowa who, frankly, launched him in 2016 to say these abortion rules are wrong. 

And so meanwhile, Haley's been very wishy washy about the abortion stuff, actually supporting it and saying that it was too harsh, saying that if you got a child who they got a test for genetic condition or something, you should be able to kill your baby. So I guess it's okay to kill babies if you're doing it for a eugenics reason, right? So the deep radical left said one of them is ruining our culture. 

I'm sorry, she said that the deep radical left is ruining our culture and we're not going to let boys play girls sports. Well, that's kind of interesting because as she's trying to make that statement, it came out that she really doesn't have any concern about this transgender stuff. We'll talk more about that later. But first, the Iowa evangelicals rallying around Trump's holy war. Headline from the independent of the UK. 

He convinced, and this is the key, they make these inflammatory, derogatory statements, but really it's true. And this is their subtitle, he convinced his supporters that his legal problems are their own. You see that? His legal problems. What has he done about the j six people? Nothing. Didn't even talk about them, didn't pardon them, and then he didn't talk about them for more than six months. He didn't even mention it. 

You want to talk about legal problems that we got? How about the medical martial law that he did? Isn't that a legal problem? Isn't that a problem that he doesn't care what the law of the constitution says, and he's going to lock us down whenever he feels like it. I think that's a problem. But of course he's playing this God created Trump thing, says he was sent by God to, quote, shepherd mankind, and that he ends his busy week in the Oval Office by attending church on Sunday. 

And he keeps playing that at rallies, just like he continued to brag for years about the poison that he created. He wasn't ashamed of that. He's not ashamed of this blasphemous fantasy, this garbage, because again, he knows that his people will suck that up, just like they sucked up all these nfts showing him as a superhero doing this and doing that. So Chuck Norris put together some quotes, advice from ten founders on how to vote, and these are actually quotes he said he took from wallbuilders. 

com. But here's some of the interesting ones from founders Sam Adams said, nothing is more essential to the establishment of manners in a state than that all persons employed in the places of power and trust be men of unacceptionable character. What that means is that there's no exceptions. And they're good at character. Well, they're really good. Except for this one flaw in his know he's a sex addict, or he's an alcoholic or a drug addict, or all the above, or he hangs out with Jeffrey Epstein all the time. 

No, no exceptions. And their character the public cannot be too curious concerning the character of public men. John Adams said, it's necessary for every citizen to in some degree be a statesman, and to examine and to judge for himself the tendency of political principles and measures. So let us examine then, with a sober, a manly, and a christian spirit. Let us neglect all party loyalty and let us turn to facts. 

Let us believe no man to be infallible or impeccable in government any more than in religion, and take no man's word against evidence, nor implicitly adopt the sentiments of others who may be deceived themselves, like Maga, or may be interested in deceiving us. That was John Adams, William Penn, whose statue Biden wanted to take. Now this provides maybe some insight as to why Biden doesn't like him. I think it's mainly just because he's a white, you know, this would also apply, I'd imagine, that Biden would want us to forget about men who say things like this. 

Governments, like clocks, go from the motion that men give them. And as governments are made and moved by men, so by them they are ruined too. Wherefore governments rather depend upon men than men upon governments. Let men be good, and the government cannot be bad. But if men be bad, let the government ever be so good, they will endeavor to warp and spoil it to their turn. Maybe they will endeavor to warp, speed it to their benefit. 

Noah Webster in selecting men for office, let principle be your guide. Regard not the particular sect or denomination of the candidate. Look to his character. When a citizen gives his suffrage, his vote, to a man of known immorality, he abuses his trust and he sacrifices not only his own interests, but that of his neighbor. He betrays the interest of his country. And that's exactly what happened in 2020. 

Trump betrayed us. He betrayed our neighbors. He betrayed our country. William Patterson, a signer of the US Constitution, associate justice of the Supreme Court, and second governor in New Jersey, quoted the Bible, proverbs 29. He said, when the righteous rule, the people rejoice. When the wicked rule, the people groan. John Witherspoon last one I'll give you here, said, those who wish well to the state ought to choose to places of trust. 

Men of inward principle. It's what they are. That's what integrity means, right? It means that what you're saying is integral to your character. You don't brag about how you clean up after your wife and do all the dishes and all the other stuff at the Oval Office, and you go to church when you don't ever go to church. That's not integrity. The vin word principle justified by exemplary conversation. 

And he's not just talking about foul mouthed Trump, he's talking about when he says conversation, he's not really talking about so much his talk as he is his walk. Does he live it right? What is the habit of his life? The people in general ought to have regard to the moral character of those whom they invest with authority, either in the legislative, executive, or judicial branches. So how do we get to this point? How is this no longer I understood when this is not a thing with people on the left. 

They didn't have any moral standards. They didn't want to have any for themselves, so why would you expect them to have moral standards for other people? And yet, the thing that drives me nuts on the right with the MAGA people and with the operation MAGA bird press that just wants to flatter and cajole Trump so they can get a large following. What bothers me about this is that they will speak out against everything that he did, but then avoid the fact that he did it and cheer him on. 

And that's where we are you have these people who, if it was something that was done, hopefully, if it was something that was done by anybody else, the kinds of things that we know that Trump has done in his personal life or in his public life, if it were somebody else, if it was a different party, for sure, we know that they might have given a pass to somebody else who was part of the GOP, but know certainly would not give a pass to a Democrat if a Democrat did these things. 

Just take a look at Hunter and how different is Hunter than Trump? Hunter is addicted to drugs and to sex and could say to money. But Trump's addiction to money is stronger and his addiction to sex is just as strong. He's not addicted to drugs. So does that qualify him to be president? No. It's not good enough to be better in one area of your life than Hunter Biden. 

But look at how upset everybody is, and rightfully so, about the corruption in the Biden family. But they don't care about the corruption in the Trump family. They don't care about his connections with Jeffrey Epstein. George Washington, finally, in his farewell address, said, of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable. Let it simply be asked, where is the security for property, for reputation, for life itself, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths? In other words, if you don't fear God, what makes people think you're going to fear the constitution or the public? Right? And that's where we are right now. 

We got people who like, catch me if you can, he said. And let us, with caution, indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle. And yet we have a situation where somebody starts talking about God in the public sphere, especially in politics, we are now taught that those are dangerous people. 

You better fear them. They might be christian nationalists or something else. And so we reject anybody who openly talks about God. But as long as they say, well, I don't believe in anything, or you can believe in whatever you want, and we're fine. I don't have any principles. I don't have any religion. Well, that's good. We want people like that, and that's what we've got now, because our society has adopted those ideas, we wind up with people like Trump and Biden. 

KWD 68 Trump may not be the father of lies, but he's at the family reunions. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, he's just as detached as George Santos, quite frankly. Look at his financial statements or his political pronouncements. Guard Goldsmith. Hey, guard. God created all of us, which is why I have a right to be left alone by Trump and the rest of the status. And that's right. That's the basis of the Declaration of Independence, that we're all created in the image of God. 

And from that standpoint, we don't have a hierarchy of betters. Brian Deb McCartney. These people are delusional. Yeah. In terms of the dictatorship. Angus Mustang. Are there really these many stupid people in this country? Well, do you see the results in Iowa? I'm afraid so. That's what is so depressing about all this stuff. If you look at it again, we put no trust in princes or in horses and chariots and things like that. 

Put your trust in God. That's what you need to be looking at. These people can't stop you from that. They can't get in your way, in any way, shape or form. You may or may not be able to get good people in office in your local community, but you can go straight to the top and you can have someone who will essentially be the rock in your life, an expectation of something that is going to be far better than anything you're going to have on earth anyway. 

DGA David Trump has taught people who would stand against tyranny to set back. Yes. To trust the plan. Yeah. And Alex taught that to do nothing, to never question Trump. It's all that's right. The pacification of America. That's why I say MAGA is the fifth column. The Operation Magabird press, Trump and these QAnon people and Mike Flyn and this reawaken America and all the rest of this stuff, they are the fifth column. 

They're the fifth column when it comes to morality, when it comes to know these phony prophets of Trump, people like Michael Flynn, they are the fifth Column, spiritually and politically. They really are. Stephen Casboro. What have we had all along? Dictators, big brother, on and on. That's right. Solo cat. 1980, dictator Donald ordered the lockdown and the clot shot. Funding, distribution, coercion and oppression. KW 68, you already had Trump as dictator. 

That's right. About nullification. Nancy Chambers says nullification wouldn't work in New Jersey because we have the best politicians money can buy. That's right. That's why I'm not living there. I know your circumstances may be different, and you may not be able to escape that. The progress retort thank you for the tip. I appreciate that. So, David, I've been getting so much traction locally against the woes that we face. 

Educate yourself. Find your local reps. Strategize a way to tie your vision to their campaign. Make yourself a player. Yeah, we've talked about that and one of the effective ways to do it. And I talked to the guy who's got the Libertos foundation in Utah, talked to him about his kids books. I can't remember the name of the kids books. I've been out of the kids books now for several twins. 

That's it. So talked about that. And he know I helped get Mike Lee elected to senate. He says, I don't really oppose him, but he hasn't been able to get anything done, even when I agree with him on the issues. He can't get those issues through in the Senate. But he goes, we've been able to get so many things done at the local level. And just as the listener pointed out here, he said, what you do is you get a few people together and say, hey, we got an organization. 

We call it x or whatever. Not X. That name has been taken by Elon Musk, but we call it something or the other. And we'd like to talk to you about some of these issues. And of course they will. They really do want to make connection with people who are going to support them and vote for them. And so they will listen about that. Even if they don't do anything, they'll still listen. 

But you can get together and you can make your case, and you may find that this person is maybe a lot more honest than you thought. We don't want to be so cynical about politics that we disregard people at the local level. We've got some really good people at the local level, a couple of them. We got some really bad people at the state level, but we've got some good people. 

Frank Nicely, Bud Halsey and Tennessee, really good guys. Honest guys. They understand and they're trying to get things done. And there's been some really good changes in Tennessee in the last few years. It's one of the reasons why we wanted to move here. They got rid of the income tax. They've got constitutional carry and many other things like that. And so it is possible to find some honest people. 

Get out your lamp and do a Diogenes search. You may find an honest man in the state. You can get behind him. And he may know some other honest people that you can get behind in some other ways as well. Glenn Beddingfield, David, who will you be voting for in the 2024 presidential race? I will be voting for sheriff, and I'll be voting for district attorney. And when it comes to the slot there for president, I'll write somebody's name in because I don't see anybody on the ballot that I would vote for. 

And I'll write somebody's name in because I don't want somebody casting my vote for me. So I'm going to put something in there, I'm going to mark it up in a way that they can't reuse it. But there's not anybody I support. And as I said before, the Washington government is a foreign government. It is foreign to the constitution, it is foreign to our principles, it is hostile to our country. 

And that's Republicans and Democrats in Washington, for the most part, with very few exceptions. Solicit 1980 vote for either Trump or Biden as a vote for the continuing rule of the Uni party. That's right. Dragon Agrita. Hitler or Stalin? Who are we going to vote for? KWD 68 election 2024. And which knee do you want? The shot. Yeah, that's right. And then you bow on the other one to these people. 

Yeah. When you look at Hitler and Stalin, they both said they were socialists. The Nazis were the National Socialists, and Stalin was the international socialists, and they were both fundamentally communists. What Hitler said about Stalin, he said, I think he's foolish. He nationalized the industries first. He said, you need to make that the last step that you use, because you do need to have their expertise. So he was wiser, more cunning, you could say, I guess, the most cunning of the snakes in the forest. 

And so he was more cunning about that. But essentially, the end game was the same for both of them. And I've pointed that out many times when I talk about the Nolan chart. David Nolan, one of the founders of the Libertarian Party, is political scientist. So let's talk about freedom as if it was an issue. And let's understand, know if we have this political spectrum that is sold to us of a line, a horizontal line that's just left and right, that's not sufficient, because we're told that Stalin is hard left and Hitler is hard right. 

And yet they were so much alike. They just used different lies to get into power. And yet when they governed as totalitarians, they were so much alike. So he said, so we need something else. So let's talk about liberty. And we could ask people, and they would go around with operation politically homeless, and they would ask college students ten economic questions that would have freedom or tyranny as an option. 

And then they would ask them. So ten questions about their personal life, personal freedoms, ten questions about economic freedoms, and they would chart that out. And if you take that chart and you rotate it 45 degrees so it makes a diamond, guess what? You find people like Stalin and Hitler together instead of on opposite sides, they are together down at the bottom. No freedom in your personal life, no civil liberties and no economic liberty. 

And then as you got people who are mixing these things up, you still wind up by rotating at 45 degrees. You still wind up with a left, right, and center. And then at the very top, you have the people who support both liberties, and that's the libertarian area. And Ronald Reagan said, we need to go up toward freedom. At least his speechwriter understood at the time. But I'm not so sure about Peggy Noonan anymore. 

She was a great speechwriter. She seemed to have some real freedom and constitutional impetus. But she's been working at the Wall Street Journal for too long. Or maybe she was always that way and she just knew what people wanted to hear. I was very good at telling them what they wanted to hear. Now she's telling you what she really thinks. Self patriot. I would almost hate to see Thomas Massey run for president, watch him become corrupted, too. 

It's always a know. That's the know. Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely and totally. We wind up with totalitarians. Well, we're going to take a break, and when we come back, I've got just a couple more things I want to talk about with politics before we get into Davos and before we get into what is happening with money and the economy and with war, because all of those things are important as well. 

We will be right back. Next move close. Jason Parker writes, write Antony Arteman for president. That's right. Pure gold. I would support that guy. Put us on a gold standard. I absolutely agree. Michael de Silvia. Vote for me. I'll fire everyone. Okay. I'll write your name in. How about that? And I want to thank people for tips. Is this on Rumble or Rockfin? Rockfin. Okay. Stephen Patterson, thank you very much. 

That's very generous. And you've been very generous in the last week. I really do appreciate that. Thank you. And Eric, thank you as well. For the know, I saw an article. They were talking about podcasts, and they know podcasts are really dropping. Now, I don't know if they're really dropping, but Apple has such a big part of the marketplace that what they had been doing, know if you subscribe to a podcast, they would automatically download it on iTunes or whatever they call it now, I guess, music or whatever. 

And so they automatically download that. Now. They say that if you don't listen, I think to five of them, then they stop the subscription. And so it doesn't download anymore. And so I looked at that and I thought, well, as I said before, I saw our downloads on the podcast, which has really been the mainstay of this broadcast. So many people listen to it in an audio format. 

And I saw, well, we've dropped by half from where we were last year. And of course we had, and I started looking and I realized somebody, and of course, speaker won't tell us who or what it was that they suspended us for. But it came the day after I said that the vaccines are simply murder, because we had another analysis that was done that was talking about the timing and the magnitude of it. 

I said it's just simply murder. So the very next, actually, later that afternoon, after we put the stuff up, it happened very quickly. They declared our podcast to be spam. Now, we've had that podcast with them. I've had that podcast there since 2017. We have several million. It's probably about 10 million by now downloads. They don't show those stats for more than a couple of years. And they called it spam and they shut it down completely. 

We didn't realize it for the weekend, and so we got zero downloads, zero revenue for two days. And then when they reactivated it, I didn't realize it until the end of the month that they had stopped our podcast going out to people. And so all of that may be a factor, and it may also be a factor of what Apple is doing. I just mentioned that to say that things are getting and are going to continue to get more and more difficult to do podcasts to speak against this stuff because they're weaponizing financial deplatforming as well as the social media deplatform, which has already been done. 

I've been living under that since 2018. But now the financial deplatforming is beginning to accelerate, and AI will be used as a weapon to censor, to identify and then to censor various podcasts. Spreaker has already done that. And they wanted to sell their mechanism for identifying and censoring podcasts that didn't push the government narrative. They've been pushing that for a while, but it's going to become very widespread with artificial intelligence. 

And so thank you so much for your support. Appreciate that. Let's talk a little bit about people who were thrown under the bus by our beloved leader of such strong moral character. I'm talking about, of course, our MAga Trump. It was interesting because, as I mentioned yesterday, Trump got very upset with Ramaswami and he went off on him the day before the election. And so then, to try a last minute appeal to people, Ramaswami went on with Fox News and was interviewed by Steve Ducey. 

It's kind of interesting because he went on with his wife. I didn't even know he was married. I'd never, ever seen his wife anywhere with him. Which made me think, where was Melania with all the victory parties and all the rest of the stuff? Right? You see Melania with a, no, she's not campaigning. And of course, Donald Trump wins his primary. She's not there either. I guess they're waiting to make the divorce official until after the election. 

Anyway, so Steve Ducey says to Ramaswami, well, Trump threw you under the bus in recent days. And so he said he had already, I guess, one of the things that caused Trump to do that, he's dubbed himself as Trump 2. 0. I'm the successor to Trump, and Trump's got a lot of baggage and I can do better. And he's not Maga, don't vote for, don't waste your vote and all the rest of this stuff. 

He said a vote for Vivek is a vote for the other side. He said he started his campaign as a great supporter. He said, I was the best president in generations. And that's what he wants everybody to say. As DeSantis said, you got to kiss his ring and other things, other parts of his anatomy anyway. Unfortunately, now all he does is disguise his support in the form of deceitful campaign tricks. 

He said of Ramaswami, so don't waste your vote on him. And so Steve Ducey says, why do you think former President Trump threw you under the bus over the weekend? And he's smiling about that. And Ramaswamy says, because Ramaswami is very clever, he says, well, I didn't get thrown anywhere, but I think there might be an attempt to do that. And he says, oh, you were under the bus, said Ducey, and the bus had snow tires on it and maybe chains, who knows, are the marks on it. 

Continuing to downplay Trump's attacks, Ramaswami said, quote, I took it in a light hearted way, unquote. And they told the Fox viewers that they would have their head stuck in the snow not to see the massive surge that he is experiencing in Iowa. And he says, I'm going to shock you with my performance. Oh, maybe he was shocked. He got 8% and he quit. He's gone. Ramaswami is gone. 

He was being, as this article here says, he appeared to be Fox's handpicked Trump alternative just a few months ago. They were giving him a lot of press and very deferential to him. And of course, Alex had supported, Alex supported Trump, then he supported DeSantis, then he supported Trump, then he supported Ramaswami, then he supported Trump, and now he supports Trump. He loves him. He loves him. Not that type of. 

Again, you know, we look at a man of character. What are they? They're gracious in defeat and magnanimous in victory. But instead, from Trump, we see that he is vicious in deceit and he is gloating in victory. The narcissist in chief. And he is going for all of his opponents. It's not enough for him to win with 52%. He's got to kick these people on the way out, as we've seen him done with all the people in his handpicked cabinet. 

He eventually fires them and then throws stuff at them as they're leaving. And so he's doing this, of course, with his opponents as well. Trump savages all rivals, slamming wasted votes as the nerves fray before the Iowa caucus. And this was just the day before, said Nikki Haley can never win in the general election because she doesn't have MAGA and never will. And Ron Desank, demonious at least is MAGA light. 

Remember, I think Maga is almost all of the republican party. I said, why? I'm getting very upset with the Republican Party. Never liked know. I always felt that it was a betrayal and distraction and part of the uni party, but it's really gotten particularly odious lately. I think the GOP has become the top Trump's old party and it is a disgusting sight to see it again. Nikki is a globalist rhino, he said, and it's not going to happen for her or the sanctimonious, vivaic votes are wasted, should come to Trump. 

This Trump writing, make America great again. Well, you know, Nikki is a globalist rhino. So is Trump. He went to Davos just like these governors that we are rightfully told, hey, look, they're playing up to Klaus Schwab and the people at know, people like Georgia Governor Kemp and Virginia governor going there, youngken, and their excuse is, well, I'm just trying to get business for my state. And that's what Trump said but Kemp and youngken, they're globalists. 

Trump's not. Trump's not. He went there to troll them. Keep telling yourself that. All three of them are globalists. All three of them rhino globalists. If anybody was ever a rhino Republican in name only, it would be the guy who hung out with Jeffrey Epstein, who partied with the Clintons, who was a New York Democrat all of his life. He's the ultimate rhino. He's the mother of all rhinos. 

So you win some, you lose some. Trump won big in Iowa, but guess where he's losing? He's losing another two lawyers. He had one lawyer quit, and now two more lawyers have quit in just the last week or so. He's lost three lawyers in just one day. So he won one primary and he lost three lawyers in his legal battles. Are these people getting a glimpse of his character? Is that why they're leaving? I mean, he pays them well. 

It's not like Mike Lindell, who can't pay his lawyers. He's evidently paying these people with the money that he's getting from his MAGA supporters. But they're kind of looking at him and it's like, I don't think I want to be associated with this guy. Taco Pino, if I'm pronouncing his name correctly. Key lawyer who was representing Trump in his New York hush money case. This is where he hired a porn star as a hooker and then paid her off. 

And then the appeal of last year's ruling in the E. Jean Carroll, defamation and sexual assault or rape or whatever it was, these are, people are looking at like, you know, this guy's so odious, I don't even want to work for him anymore. Even if he pays me. That says something doesn't. You can, even if you're a murderer, you can find a lawyer to represent you. But Trump's having issues with that. 

Of course. He is a murderer. He is a mass murderer. He's committed demoicide. He's probably killed more people than anybody else with his shot that he continued to brag about. So if Trump is a GOP nominee, 2024 race will be focused on his legal troubles, says DeSantis. What DeSantis doesn't understand is that both Donald Trump and the Democrats want his legal troubles. Both of them want it. And so it's one of the reasons why Trump continues to court contempt of court, to openly show contempt in court. 

And it's one of the reasons why James Carvel, when the Republicans started talking about impeaching Biden, he goes, how do we get so lucky? Get an impeachment here that's going to make us real popular out there. He's absolutely right. He was one of the most annoying and entertaining people I've ever seen. I never could understand how Mary Madeline, who was really calm and a Republican, could. They've been married all these years. 

I didn't seem to have a better marriage than most of these other politicians anyway, DeSantis said he's focused a lot on things that concern him. Things that concern him. Notice how he's very deferential with all this stuff. He needs to drop that. I know it didn't work for Chris Christie, but he should have called out his character, said obviously the distractions of everything that's going on along with these legal issues has been a huge thing for Trump, said DeSantis. 

You're going to have criminal trials. You're going to have a lot of focus on things like January the 6th by the media. And I think that ends up focusing the election on things that are going to be advantageous for Democrats. So the question is, do you want a president with convictions, or do you want a president with convictions? Because there's two different meanings for that word. When Karen and I were in the process of adopting our daughter, we filed some paperwork and we said, well, I need to have some explanations as to why you did this and why you did that, and said, well, we got out of the video business because of our convictions. 

And the adoption lawyer came back to us and said, oh, we've got to talk about this. I need to know what those convictions were and what the penalties were. Yeah, it's not those kind of convictions. That's the kind of convictions that Trump has. He doesn't have those other kind of convictions. The notion that somehow all this stuff that's swirling around him is going to be positive in a general election, that's just not true, said DeSantis. 

But it is positive for him in the nomination, and that's the game that the Democrats are playing. If they come after him with a lot of unjustified, trumped up charges, then that's going to galvanize his base. Just as James Carvel said, how'd I get so lucky? So Trump's saying the same thing, and so that's going to get him the nomination, and the Democrats are betting that it's going to tarnish his image with independence and he'll lose the general election. 

DeSantis tried to make the case about actually doing what you say. He said, I've delivered on 100% of my promises. Donald Trump obviously didn't build the wall, didn't drain the swamp. By the way, the swamp is completely under the president. When you become president, you're given a deed to the swamp. You can drain it, you can fill it, you can put more creatures in it, you can do anything you want. 

You own the swamp if you're president. But Trump doesn't own his record, does he? So he says he didn't build a wall, he didn't drain the swamp, he didn't reduce the debt. He exploded the debt. David Stockman, I have to get him back on. Talk about Trump's war on capitalism. That book hasn't dropped yet, I don't think I've also taken on and beaten the Democrats and the left, said DeSantis. 

Donald Trump as president, oftentimes got beat by the know. And that's one of the things even Trump's sycophants like, you know, Trump didn't do know. He got bamboozled by those people. They lied to him. They told him he couldn't do this, and they told him he couldn't fire Fauci and they told him he couldn't fire the swamp. And they told him, and he believed them. And he was just bamboozled by that. 

No, I don't think that's the case. As I said before, I don't think that Trump is that stupid. I don't think Trump's as stupid as the magabird press wants you to think. I think he's a fifth column. I think he's a secret agent for Davos. So, yeah, they say he was deceived. No, he wasn't. DeSantis, who has put enormous resources into winning in Iowa, said ABC. This is just before the election. 

They said he slipped to third place. Well, that was the narrative of all the media in the polls, wasn't it? He came in second. They're very close, 21%, 19%. But he came in second place, not third place. But again, you get this narrative that's being pushed out there. We had polls that were being done a year in advance. Oh, see, Trump is already the winner. DeSantis says he is in the race for the long haul. 

That's why I say when we look at this, what is coming up, I'd rather have people lower who have lower expectations for us. He said, I tend to perform better like that. And of course, he was attacked the most of anybody. He was attacked by Trump, who was afraid of him only at the very end that Trump started coming after Haley, and at the very end he came after Ramaswami. 

But he was always attacking DeSantis because he saw DeSantis as being the threat to him because DeSantis did so well in 2022, the only Republican to do well, Trump being the albatross around the Republican Party. And then Trump said it was babies. We're trying to save babies. That's the problem with the Republican Party, said Trump. DeSantis said GOP voters understandably see Biden as very feeble. But he argued that past elections like 2022 show that Trump's influence is rejected by many voters despite Biden's poor popularity. 

Yeah, they all, we didn't have that red wave in 2022, did we? And that's what was the wind in his sails. He was the only one who went against that faded red wave. DeSantis said he thinks current polling showing Trump beating out Biden in a hypothetical race nearly a year away from the election is, quote, somewhat of a mirage. He said, my fear is doing 2024 as a rematch would have a lot of the same dynamics that we had in 2020. 

And my fear is that we're going to wind up with January the 6th, part two, or we're going to wind up with stop the steel part two. That's what I think they're angling for. They want to build up Trump with MAGA people. And of course, when they look at this and they turn out, it doesn't matter if it is a life threatening storm. These people show up for their dictator and the size of the crowds are going to be there and these people are going to believe, just like they did in 2020, that it wasn't possible for their guy to lose because they love him so much, well, you can love the guy really a great deal. 

But if the Democrats, independents don't really love their guy, but they won't even flip a lover for your guy, that's how you lose. And that's why it's so hard for them to get their head around it. For me, leadership is not about yourself, said DeSantis. It's not about showmanship. It's about producing results. So when you make promises, do you deliver? And if you break promises, well, then that's not good leadership. 

A lot of broken promises, isn't it? And of course, when you look at that first three years of Trump's, the tax cuts for Wall street, not building the wall, not doing anything about the welfare magnet, any of that kind of stuff, and not ending any of the wars, I thought, well, okay, this is pretty standard republican stuff, isn't it? You say one thing and then you do something completely different when you get in. 

But the fourth year, 2020, that's why I will never support Trump. I don't care what happens to me personally. I will never get behind this guy, all these other people getting behind him. It is amazing to see people that he's thrown under the bus, like Ramaswamy, people that he has kept out of office, that he's opposed publicly. They all come behind Trump, and it is disgusting to see them grovel and kiss the boot. 

Trump says to in his final appeal, he told his backers, he said, your votes can help me punish my enemies, essentially again. Deeply wounded narcissist, incapable of acting except out of his own self interest or revenge. He said, these caucuses are your personal chance to score the ultimate victory over all of the liars, cheaters, thugs, perverts, frauds, crooks, freaks and creeps. I said the other day, yesterday, I said, it's interesting to see how Democrats project their evil onto other people. 

And I said, at the same time, I see otherwise good people in their normal life, people who are law abiding and at least want to have moral principles in their life. It's interesting to see them project that goodness onto bad people. Bad people like Trump, bad people like Benjamin Netanyahu, for example. These are evil men. And yet we have people, particularly the evangelical Christians, who will project their values onto those people. 

At the same time, you have the Democrats and the other people projecting their perverted values onto you. And to others, you are the racist. When all they think about is race, they're obsessed with race or they're obsessed with this, and they project that onto you. These are people who have all kinds of privilege, and they call you privilege. They have nothing but racism in their mind, and they call you a racist. 

This kind of projection. And Trump projects like a Democrat liar. Yes, he is cheater. Look at his personal life. He doesn't just cheat on his wives. He brags about cheating on his know, after he threw his first wife to the curb, his second one, Marla Maples. Look at her. Look at how fantastic her body is and all the rest of stuff. Publicly, publicly, thugs, mafia guy, a pervert. 

Hangs out with Jeffrey Epstein, a fraud. Look at his businesses. This guy has done fraudulent business deals everywhere. That's a big part of his art of the deal, inflating himself and then using, as he starts to go into bankruptcy, saying, well, you got so much money involved in my business that you're going to have to bail me out or you're going to go under as well. That's fraud. 

He's always been a fraud, a failure, a crook, a freak, and a know telling that. Like I said, one of my first reports about Donald Trump, when he was not even the front runner, I said, jen, need to forget this guy. And I did thumbnail. I use, and I used it frequently in the report was about up, right? He did the same thing that up began and up. 

The guy doesn't want to sell the house that he and his wife grew up in. And there was a similar situation. Donald Trump's life, right? He had the casinos in Atlantic City and he wanted to expand the parking lot. And he got the other stuff the other people sold him. This one guy or one widow, did not want to sell the house, had sentimental value to her, didn't want to sell it. 

So he got tired of making her offers. And so he went to the city and got them to condemn it, and he took it over. And just before he got it all completed, he went out of business. He went bankrupt. A guy who has had six casinos go bankrupt. Yeah, he's a fraud, he's a crook, he's a liar, he's a failure. Just amazing. And he projects that onto everybody else. 

Not to say that the other people that he's running against in the republican party, certainly in the Democrat party, aren't all of those things as well. And then a 44 year old public utility worker drove 40 miles to see Trump. He says, I'm here out of spite. He says, after what they did to him in the last election and the political persecution that he faces, I feel like I owe him this. 

He is our only option. See, this is what the people, this is what they've been selling you with Alex's stop the steal and all the rest of stuff, that has been the thing already. My son says, I think the storm really helped Trump. The people who, like Trump, love him enough to go through a blizzard to vote for him. Yes, they do. Yes, they do. And as he people, my people are so smart. 

And you know what else they say about my people? The polls? They say I have the most loyal people. Did you ever see that? Where I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose any voters, okay? It's like, incredible. Or he could have Fauci in the White House and he could produce a poison that kills, I don't know, 17 million or more with those shots, shooting one person on Fifth Avenue, that's no big deal. 

But killing tens of millions of people globally, that's a pretty big deal. But his people still love him. And you don't even see a big pushback from the opponents of the vaccine, even abroad against Trump now everybody gives them a pass. Self patriot. My pastor wants me to run for mayor against a gay candidate. We should run for mayor. Listen to your pastor get involved. If you can get some support there, that's fine. 

About the podcast getting deplatformed, he says, well, he says we'll be listening to David broadcast via ham radio soon. With the way things are going. Yeah, I got to figure out what I'm going to do. KWD 68 stealth. He says, we will need a smoke signal network. Yeah, they'll probably block that as well. Jam it, I guess. Yeah. My people, my people love me so much, they'll vote for me when I kill millions of people and they'll walk through the snow, the blizzard. 

And so I'll just finish with know Anthony Scarmucci. He was there as White House communications director. Isn't it interesting how the people that Trump has appointed and praised and I played that? I'm not going to play it again for you, but like three minutes of know as he puts somebody in office, oh, this is the greatest. Look at his resume. It's just great. And then he fires him. 

Oh, this guy, he was nothing. He doesn't know anything. He's an idiot. And all the rest of this stuff, it's like, do you vet any of these people or whatever? But he comes, this is character. I mean, what he said about these people was largely true at the beginning, but then the criticism that he has is largely just anything he can think of off the top of his head. 

Scaramucci was one of the people who also faced that. And it's kind of interesting to see. I've never, ever seen a president in my lifetime who is so completely hated by his cabinet, by the people that he handpicked, and he has turned a lot of people into Democrats. He's turned Scarmuccian Democrat. He turned Joseph Farrell's daughter, who worked there at the White House, and the communications thing turned her into a hardcore coulter, you know, Drudge. 

They all flipped to the other side. Why? Because Coulter was for him. Because he's going to do something about the border. But for the most part, it is really notable, the fact that not only is he not getting endorsements from the people who were in his cabinet, not even the people that he didn't fire, but he's getting active opposition from the people who worked for him back in 2016. 

The never Trumpers were the people who hated what he promised to do. Glenn Beck, Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin, they were never Trumpers. That was when Trump was promising to do the right things. But in 2024, the never Trumpers hate Trump's record. Right? These people at the beginning hated Trump because of his promises. I hate Trump because of his record. And it's a big this on one of the, let's see if I can find it here. 

I don't see that there. I guess we don't have it. There was a picture of a guy who had trolled Trump at a rally and he called him a climate criminal. Well, just cross out the climate thing, put in whatever the MacGuffin is, right? He can be a Covid criminal. He can be a climate criminal. He can support that stuff. Who knows, right? I mean, he did put Rex Hillshire. 

There it is right there. Trump climate criminal. Yeah, just the climate stuff. And fill in the blank as to whatever the crime of the day being dictated by Davos is. That's really where we are. Well, we're going to take a quick break and we will be right back. If you like the Eagles on a dark desert highway, the cars and Huey Lewis in the news, they say the hotter rock and roll, you'll love the classic hits channel at APS radio.

Ain't got no cash, ain't got no car, but 24 booster shots in your arm owe nothing. Be happy. You can't. That's Bill Gates singing harmony there. And be happy. Yeah, be happy and eat some bugs. Yes. And thank you, Tuvor name, for sending that to me. 

That's funny. Artificial intelligence does have its uses. You can do some things like that. You can have Johnny cash singing, Taylor Swift, whatever. But the world's top five richest people increased their wealth by 114% since 2020. I guess they don't think that they'd be happier if they owned nothing. They love that stuff. They love money, don't they? And that is, of course, the root of all evil. On the drudge this morning, I saw the first trillionaire will be made in less than ten years, within the next ten years, of course, because we're going to be at 2030 by then, and they will have outlawed things. 

They will have created their natural asset companies. All you have to do is be a stakeholder and that you get the government to say, okay, we're going to turn over this national park to you, and everybody's going to pay carbon taxes globally, and we're going to then channel that money to you because you are presiding over this national park and you're not doing anything with it. You're telling people they can't come into it, or if they do, you charge them more money, and then you will respond in a responsible way by giving half of that money back to some kind of a government fund. 

But you can keep half of that. And so these people are getting half of the world given to them, for starters, and then it will get even bigger. And so why wouldn't we have multiple trillionaires? Think about that. Think about the concentration of wealth that we have now. We've never seen anything quite like this before. And, of course, if we look at Elon Musk, another one of these billionaires who is supposedly sacrificing himself for us, as the MAGA people are saying, what do you think happened? I mean, do you think that Elon Musk, who made his money pushing the green agenda and sucking up to every criminal government on earth, including the chinese communists, do you think that out of the goodness of his heart, he decided that he would do free speech with Twitter? All these people know how evil it is. 

It's not any kind of an epiphany to see what is happening. They just typically decide that they're not going to speak out about it. They're going to make money from it. So what is his angle? What is he doing? I would imagine that as he looked at these people we've been looking at for the first half of this show getting behind Donald Trump. And they believe that this New York Democrat billionaire is really a blue collar billionaire. 

He's really one of them, and he's their only hope. I think Elon Musk is smart enough to look at the MAGA people and say, I can own these. Know, Donald Trump is getting pretty old, and I think he's positioning himself with his Twitter stuff to be his heir. And that doesn't mean that he necessarily wants to be president, but you can always get those laws changed or whatever. 

But he certainly does want that kind of devotion from the masses that he can control. He sees a big demographic there. And look, if the media is doing that, if the media is going out there and looking at a demographic and say, that's the one I want to serve, and I'm going to tailor the news to fit the biases and the prejudices and the ignorance of that demographic. 

He could do the same thing with social media. It's exactly what he's doing, I believe. Meanwhile, the Covid-19 pandemic started. Some 4. 8 billion people have seen their combined wealth shrink, while the world's richest five richest people have seen their wealth go up by 114%, more than double. The bottom 5 billion people saw their wealth shrink. That's where we are. The wealthiest 1% grabbed nearly two thirds of all new wealth, which was worth $42 trillion. 

All the new wealth created since 2020, $42,000,000,000,000. 02 thirds of it went to the top 1%. The top five people see their wealth go up 114%, double, while the bottom 5 billion see it go further and further down. And of course, this is really going to be on steroids. Once the New York Stock Exchange, the Rockefeller foundation, these other mean. I know it sounds like almost check myself when I say the Rockefeller foundation, because they've been talked about so much and the mainstream media has pushed back against it so much, it's like, oh, you're just one of these conspiracy theorists and you got the usual suspects out there. 

Well, they are the usual suspects because they keep doing this stuff and it's a matter of record. There are three companies that put it together, and the Rockefeller foundation was one of them, working with the New York Stock Exchange. And now they've all come to the Security Exchange Commission, the SEC, and they're going to approve these natural asset companies. And this is going to be, again on the 18th. 

As I said, take a look at what you can do. This is a Breitbart story. Questions arise on how a chinese billionaire secretly became the second largest foreign owner of us land. Again, this is going to be nothing compared to the NAC. As they look at this, they say, well, he secretly became the largest owner of foreign land in the same way that Disney went in, in central Florida. 

And he created a corporation, several of them, several shell corporations, going in and buying up property. He didn't want them to realize what was happening because he was going to make it difficult for him to get the big block of stuff that he wanted in the middle of the state. And so he used all these different shell corporations. That's what this chinese billionaire is doing. But he won't even have to do that. 

It'll be so easy with natural asset companies. Once these things are set up, once the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange and the governments work to set up these natural asset companies, whether it's private land or whether it's public land. The only difference is the amount of kickback that they give to government officials. And once they've set these things up and they trade them on the stock market, anybody can do what he's done. 

It'll be available to any foreign entity. Any foreign entity can buy stock that's sold on the New York Stock Exchange. And so who is this guy? For nearly a decade, he's been accumulating land in America. His name is Chen as well. I won't say it anyway. That's Gerald's joke. She's so fat, she's got more chens than China. But Chen joined the Chinese Communist Party at 18 years old and was elected to the youth league's central committee in Shanghai. 

In 2008, the businessman was appointed to the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. And you see, America is becoming just like China. China, you don't succeed and you don't do business in China unless you are a communist party member. And then if you are, you get access to all this stuff. You take a look at Steve Bannon's communist chinese benefactor. He goes by the name of Guo, the guy that he was on his yacht when he got arrested. 

Steve Bannon, that was the guy. He got rich as a Chinese communist party official. And then, because there is no honor among thieves and there's no honor among politicians, there's always competition between them. He was on the outs with some people who ascended to leadership. And we know what happens. It doesn't mean that he's a good guy. He's now portraying himself as a defender of freedom and liberty everywhere and standing up for the little guy in China. 

That's the way Bannon is portraying him. No, it's just the same type of thing that we know. Lenin coming after Trotsky because he was competition, or the way Stalin purged all the people inside that he perceived were either enemies or might conceivably be an enemy. He didn't have to even be an enemy. You could be identified by Stalin and come after him. And that's why, when you look at all this stuff, yeah, the Democrats are coming after Trump. 

Is it because he's a good guy? No, it's because this is what corrupt politicians do. And now Trump is promising to do the same thing in return. And so this guy came up all the way through the communist party because that's how you get wealthy, and it's how you get wealthy in the United States. Just take a look at Obama, a community organizer. He never had a job, never did anything. 

He's community organizer. Then he becomes a politician, and now he's a centimillionaire or whatever, almost a billionaire. Pelosi, same type of thing, insider trading and all the rest of this stuff influence the Clintons, the Clinton foundation and so forth. And it's not limited just to Democrats. They do it more openly and more shamelessly than the Republicans do. But then you have, as this information comes out about Chen and the amount of land that he owns. 

Elise Stefanik, big cheerleader for Trump, reacted to the news and of course, blamed the Biden administration because they're going to focus on their political opponent. They're not going to see the bigger picture. They're not going to see what's going on with the New York Stock Exchange and these natural asset companies, laying the foundation for all of this stuff. Very, very concerning what is on its way. But of course, they will not focus on the things that are existential threats to this country and to you and I. 

So when you look at the technocracy and you look at all of this technology that they're doing, are we going to lose with this? Is there any way that we can defeat this stuff? Well, yes, God is greater than all that stuff. And collectively, if this country turned toward God, we could have good leaders who would oppose this type of stuff. We've seen that happen in the past. 

We've seen that happen throughout history of civilizations. But even if it doesn't happen to this civilization, you need to be connected to God. That's really what you should be focusing on right now. I give you the bad news. Every once in a while, I like to try to give you the good news. If God is for us, who can be against us? And if we take the long term view, and if we look at the fact that this life, whether you're Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos or whatever, that money isn't going to save them. 

They think it's going to save them. They think that they can buy and create technology that's going to let them inhabit the bodies of robots and live forever and become godlike and all the rest of the stuff. It's a delusion. We should pity them. They are like the gilded bull that somebody makes a ceremonial procession out of and puts the flowers on. And everybody stands on the street, sides of the street cheering on this bull as he's being led to the slaughter. 

And so we should know, in a sense, you look at people like Bill Gates and Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos and it is really tragic if you have the proper perspective. They are going to die and they are lost without God. And so we should not end be them and we should not try to emulate them, and we should strive for the things that we can actually achieve. 

You can't do anything to fix Washington, and you can't do anything really to stop these wars that are coming, but you can do things that are going to have an eternal difference for you and for your family, and they can't take that away from you. And so why have we ended up placing so much trust in this technology? And do we place our trust in this like the billionaires do? And so this guy says, you know, this had me thinking. 

Human beings are always looking for a higher and an infallible authority. They're looking for reassurance. They're seeking help with an uncertain future, something to provide coherence and structure to life and to legitimize or to validate our actions and so forth. Well, you're not going to find that in science or technology, he says, and he's right, and you're not going to find it in politics. Hillary Clinton used to talk about the politics of meaning. 

Politics gave meaning to her life. How pathetic is that for other people like her husband, maybe even know sex and drugs or money or wealth or power, those are all things that they think gives them meaning to their life, gives them pleasure. But look, folks, not only is that temporary and fleeting, but we can defeat those people if we've got a focal point that is beyond this life, that gives us the leverage to do things in this life, because we are not trying to cling to every last dollar, or we're not trying to cling to every last second of this short, fleeting life. 

It gives us the power to do things that are going to be lasting, do things that are for the benefit of our fellow man, things that are going to benefit us eternally as well. And so along with this one guy writing an article, which is kind of a side article from the BBC, but I thought it was kind of funny in the sense of technology failures. And this is an article about the failure of the self checkout technology. 

You see, even with something that basic, they can fail. It hasn't delivered, they said, and here's why it hasn't unstaffed. Tills were supposed to revolutionize shopping, but now both retailers and customers are starting to bag these self checkout kiosks. It's a common sight at many retail stores. You got a line of people waiting to use a self checkout kiosk, doing their best to remain patient. As one lone store worker attends to multiple malfunctioning machines, the frustration mounts while a dozen darkened, roped off and cashierless tills sit in the. 

You know, when I was in college, personal computers were just at the very beginning. We'd just gotten rid of slide rules. That was good. And we had the Hewlett Packard calculators and Texas instruments programmable calculators. But personal computers, that wasn't something we had access to. I had to work all the time with computer programs, but I had to use the mainframe computer at the University of South Florida. 

It was a large college at the time, had over 20,000 students, and all the students had to use that one computer, and all of the administration had to use that same computer. And there was another, smaller college where all the students and the administration, for business purposes, had to use that same computer. And so everybody is standing in line waiting to use this one computer, and we had to interface with it through card punch machines that were constantly malfunctioning. 

And they had an IBM guy who was always there, always there. It didn't matter. You go there at 03:00 in the morning, which I would frequently do because the crowds are not as bad. And he was still fixing these card punch machines, and they had about 16 of them there, and there was always about a quarter of them that were broken. And he was always working on them in his white shirt and tie. 

And then there was the card reader. After you got this stuff laboriously done and very tricky and very precious, and you get this big tray of cards, and you're trying to feed into the card machine, and it chokes, and it starts spitting stuff out, or you drop your tray of cards and all the rest of stuff. It was crazy. The only people who had a terminal were the people who were computer science majors, and they were the envy of us all. 

And so at that point in time, I started doing my own personal computer. I built it from a kit. When I look at stuff like this, we have these things that are supposed to serve us, and yet we wind up waiting for them, and they don't serve us well. That's frequently the case with technology. They said, why pay six employees when you could pay one to oversee customers at a self service checkout? And they do all the labor and they bag everything. 

Well, this technology is turning out to be more trouble than it's worth in a lot of ways. One person who is associate professor and chair of sociology in the US. He's wrote a book called the overworked consumer self checkouts, supermarkets, and the do it yourself economy. He says it hasn't delivered anything that it promised. Again, I remember when I was a child, gas stations were called service stations. 

What a wonderful piece of americana it was that you could drive up to one of these things, and you would have a guy come know, dressed in a know, like Gomer Pyle or Goober, and you tell them what grade of gas you wanted, and they would fill it up, and while it's pumping, they would clean your windshield, and they would check your oil and maybe the tire pressure, maybe some other fluids and things like that. 

And they would do that because they also offered repair service there. So it's kind of a one stop thing. But you didn't go out and pump it yourself. Now everything is self service. I was just telling Karen that I saw an article that, I think it was in Knoxville. He had, some government official there just had criminal charges brought against her, and it was for doing skip scanning. 

And they have these cameras that are watching you, what you're doing. And they saw her coming several different times, and she would pretend to scan it, but it wouldn't click. She would do it in a way that it didn't beep, and she'd stick it in the bag like she had scanned it. And they came after, and I thought, you know, if they're watching us all the time, I don't really like that. 

I don't like to be watched. And you look at this, and it's like, so how do I defend myself if they accuse me of doing skip know, I put myself in that position. What if I was falsely accused of skip scanning something? And Karen said, well, I went through the other day, and she said, I got to the car, and I realized because it was out of the bag, it was in the cart, that I had a comb that I was going to buy. 

She said I hadn't scanned it. She said, I went back in, I told them I haven't scanned. She said, oh, it happens all the time. Most people don't come back, but I don't know. I mean, it depends, I guess, on the grocery store that you're dealing with. But one of the frustrations of self checkout can be the extra work of having to find a specific plu code. That's a real big deal if you're trying to buy fruits or vegetables. 

What's the code for this thing, anyway? So they're telling us that artificial intelligence is going to take 40% of the jobs will it. Do we really want that? I mean, do you like to go back to a service station or do you want to keep going further into this other direction? There is something to be said if we create an economy. I wonder what would happen if you had a service station somewhere. 

Maybe they go out of business. I don't know. People wouldn't know at this point in time. What do I do with that? But 40% of jobs are saying now is the headline. It has been that way for a very long time. It was about six years ago, as a matter of fact. I spoke at a conference and I was giving people the numbers for what artificial intelligence is going to be doing. 

And this is a study that came out of South Korea, and they had it closer to 50% at the time. And they said for white collar jobs like doctors and lawyers, it would be 70% replacement by artificial intelligence. So is that really what we want, or do we want to be able to deal with people? Is the technology serving us or is it making us slaves to it? It's my point. 

And so what is happening with Davos? Well, they're pushing down that same direction. And so some people are taking a look who is going to be there. I like this headline here, a list of some of the notable figures attending the World Economic Forum this year, along with plenty of prostitutes. And I thought, isn't that being redundant? People are prostituting themselves to world government one way or the other. 

And when I look at some of the people on this list, of course, Zelensky is going to be doing a joint presentation with Klaus. And it's such a cartoon thing. Isn't know Klaus Schwab. But not just Klaus Schwab. Most of the people who are there are, like, bond villains. I mean, he is the archetypal Bond villain. He's got everything but the white pussycat. But the other people are like that as well, right? Not all the Bond villains were like Blofeld, but these other people are that way as well. 

And so when we look at this, the people who are going there rightfully should be called out. As I said before, they've called out in the past Brian Kemp and Glenn Youngkin, governors of Georgia and Virginia, respectively, but nobody called out Trump. And here we've got Javier Malai, newly elected libertarian economist, out of Argentina. Yet he's going to be going, he's perfectly fine going. Is that an indication of where he is? Quite possibly because he says he is all about Trump and he's a real demagogue with his Chainsaw and all the rest of this stuff and things that he was saying. 

I really started, I looked at, it's like, okay, this is great. He's coming after the central bank there, and he's coming from an economic school that is same one that I believe is correct from the austrian economists and others like that. And yet the stunts that he was doing and the way that he was doing this stuff and the language that he was doing is very uncomfortable. I really do believe that whether you're talking about Argentina or America, I think character matters in government. 

And he is a character, but I don't know if he's got any character. So disease X is the thing that they're really hyping. And of course it was it last year or two years ago they were talking about cyber Polygon and all the rest of this stuff. That doesn't mean that simply because we haven't had some kind of a cyber polygon attack to our knowledge, but not to the extent they're talking about that doesn't mean that they aren't still working on that, planning on that. 

But as they're putting these things together and they talk about polycrises, many crises happening at the same time. Of course we also talk about polyticks, many blood sucking parasites. But their theme this year is rebuilding trust. And that's been their theme now for a couple of years, since they destroyed our trust in 2020. But you should trust Trump, of course, and trust that he's going to do the right thing with the next pandemic, maybe with disease X. 

What do you think? You think he's going to do something different than he did last time? He seems to be very proud of the structures that he created and put into place this last time. Nothing has been done to remove those. There's not even any talk about it. Hate speech and disinformation, or whatever the EU says it is, including information that's true, but disagreeable to the agenda of these supranational organizations such as the EU, the World Economic Forum, the WHO. 

Last time around, the mrna vaccines made by Pfizer Moderna and funded by Trump. Nobody wants to put Trump's name next to those vaccines. I always will. They proved to be super effective at one thing, disordering all the cells and the organs in the human body so as to produce a severe autoimmune rejection, resulting in death and disability. But hey, it was just sugar water, right? Like Alex said, the artificial spike protein replication induced by the vaxes has a special yen for heart tissue. 

The lining of blood vessels and for the reproductive organs. Thus all those world class soccer players dropping dead in the middle of a game. All the massive clots the size of shipworms discovered by the morticians and so forth. Yeah, this is what has been produced by Trump. But like Voldemort, you must not mention his name. And of course they don't in this cohedge article. They're very good about that. 

They keep it on the sly. And so they're talking about disease X, 20 times more fatalities than Covid-19 so we have all these whinings out there about gain of function. Rand Paul, it's Fauci and his Wuhan lab and all the rest of. So it's not the vaccine. They don't want to talk about the vaccine, don't want to change anything. No one even come after him for the vaccine. 

They want to come after him for the gain of function research and the lab that is there. And then they push the scare of a disease x that is 20 times more fatal. And yet the big tell is the inaction that they won't do anything. It was a decade ago, 2014, that the Obama administration told Fauci and his boss, Francis Collins, shut it down. That was after a series of articles, primarily begun by Alison Young at USA Today. 

But it got picked up by everybody. They had congressional hearings. They were talking about all the failures of these biosafety level three and four labs, and they said, shut it down. And instead they went to China. And they kept doing some of it, even in the United States. At the University of North Carolina, I talked about that at the time. And yet they will push the fear button everywhere over disease X. 

But they won't do anything about this, even as they make this the new focus, the new red herring to distract people from the Trump shots. The 2024 program is one for the ages. There at Davos, you can watch Pfizer's Albert Borla talking about health. You can watch Sam Altman talking about artificial intelligence and digital ids for everybody. You can see Bill Gates advancing the climate hoax in his food schemes. 

You can see John Kerry will be appearing on four different stages to discuss energy transition. And what is the energy transition? Well, that is a transition to zero. You'll not only own nothing, but you'll be able to plug nothing in. Even if you're allowed to buy something, you won't be allowed to plug it in. And then, of course, Babel, the return to Babel. That's what this is really about. 

When you look at the great replacement when you look at the open borders, that aspect of globalism that is supposedly to unite the world, right? Except what it's going to do is divide and conquer each and every society. That is the ultimate purpose of all this. Comments Brian and Deb McCartney disease X is the big topic at Davos. More disease surveillance. That's right. Jen Jones men have become the tools of their thoreau. 

Oh, if only he could see what's happened now. That's a great quote. I've never seen that before. Thank you, Jen. Wes Robertson AI fear mongering by Silicon Valley and the intel community is just that, fear mongering. They're hoping no one will call their predictive programming bluff. Yeah, and of course they will use the most dangerous thing about AI is that people would believe it like a politician because it will be the source, and already is a source for a lot of people. 

They turn to it for answers, and then whatever answer it makes up, they go with it as if it is true. And that is especially true the younger the people are. They're conditioning the next generations to rely on artificial intelligence. That's what this is really about. That is the predictive programming aspect of all this. The Hal 9000. Watson says Elon loves X. He does. Distorted perception. Disease X is the coming death from immune failure by vaccinations, probably. 

I agree. It's just like the long Covid stuff and all these different variants. Oh yeah, this symptom that you see out there that's being caused, they even came out and said, well, people dying of the heart disease, that's because of fentanyl or whatever, it's always going to be something. They even had that absurd explanation at one point in time. It's the people who are out there gardening. And it's not the exertion that's causing them to have heart attacks, it's that they're stirring stuff up in the soil that is going to cause them to have a heart attack. 

Well, why has that never, ever happened before? Wes Robertson AI is about efficiency, not intelligence. An attempt by a more efficient way of enslaving us all. Yes, stealth patriot Trump picked the winners and losers with his non essential and his essential stuff. Well, I like the article from the last American Vagabond. I interviewed the editor, I guess editor's title, I don't know, last week, or maybe it's two weeks ago. 

And the headline of this is as the World Economic Forum prepares for a 54th annual meeting, international activist movements are offering alternative visions of 2030. You can't win a culture war without a culture. And you can't defeat their dystopian vision of the future without your vision of the future. That is not dystopian. That's the key thing. And so people from all walks of life are rejecting their top down, technocratic vision for the future, and you should as well. 

Again, a key feature of that is to isolate us from other people and to cause us to be pacified by the loss of skills and knowledge, being overly dependent on the technology. So the theme is rebuilding trust. As I said, and as the last American Vagomon says, this is the same theme they use in 2021, because since 2020, nobody trusts them anymore and their cover has been blown. 

The last two years, World Economic Forum has promoted the idea of polycrisis, claiming that the world is now contending with multiple crises, including alleged pandemics and climate crises and multiple wars and economic downturns. And you stop and think about that. All of those are invented and created and fed by the governments. First of all, the climate and pandemic MacGuffins are made up, but the wars are not made up. 

The wars are created by them and sustained by them and continued by them in the same way that Trump continued. Obama went from a couple of wars that George W. Bush had going forever and ever. He kept those wars going and added several more. He had seven wars going. And when Trump became president, he kept all seven of those wars and he expanded them. He never got out of Afghanistan. 

And Biden, by the way, didn't get out of Afghanistan either. He was thrown out. You can't fire me. I quit Afghanistan. Well, no, they fired. They threw the bums out of Afghanistan. That's what they did. We should not have been there for 2024. The World Economic Forum is warning that even as we turn our attention to new crises, the old ones persist. And that's by plan. We cannot get rid, and nobody's even talking about getting rid of the fauciism that Trump instituted, the medical martial law, the stuff that they practiced for 20 years, the stuff that they laid the legal foundation for right after 911, the stuff they did their first game for two months before 911, then had a false flag event one week after and then put out the legislation two months after that. 

Of course, it's still there with us. People are sick of the doom and gloom, says the last american vagabond. People are sick of the doom and gloom of much of the independent media. The viewing audience is quite familiar with how disturbing our world has become. However, they rarely come across journalists, activists, and content creators who are trying to focus on solutions. But I believe this is changing, he says. 

We have a growth of the greater reset, of the better way conference, of the next steps, and of similar events to reflect the growth of the overall truth and freedom movements that have begun intersecting in recent years. One of the trends, he says, I believe, will only be seeing an increase in influence is that of the activation movement. That is the section of the overall truth and freedom community that is absolutely, sometimes exclusively focused on solutions for our troubling times. 

It's not enough to be awake. We need to be actively creating the world we want if we know we do not want the globalist vision of 2030 and beyond. I like what Charles Spurgeon, when he was talking about things in his society, and he lived in a very christian society, a victorian society. Christians were the majority. They were not being attacked. They're not being challenged like people today. 

And yet he talked about when, after the babylonian captivity, when Ezra and others came back and Nehemiah came back to rebuild Jerusalem. First they rebuilt the wall. Build the wall. They said, yeah, well, these guys actually did it, and they had lots of opposition. And so what they had to do is they had to build and be able to defend themselves at the same time. So Spurgeon called his publication the Sword and the Trowel. 

We have to be able to defend ourselves, so we have to be aware of what their tactics and strategies are and what they're coming after. But we also have to be able to build. It's not enough to have one or the other. You got to have both of them, actually. And so we have to look at what kind of a society we want to build. What are the foundations and the basis of that? And again, that is all downstream from our worldview, from our religion. 

And that needs to be fixed. And so we need to build that, but we also need to be able to defend ourselves. Truth is going to come under a lot of pressure, says the World Economic Forum. And they know because they're going to be the ones who are going to be pressuring truth, and they say it's going to have a vast increase in censorship. And they know that as well, because they're going to be working with governments to increase the censorship. 

That's their kind of predictive programming. A duo of dangerous crises are what we're facing, they're saying now, so not necessarily so much the polycrystis, they're now focusing on climate and conflict. So that climate MacGuffin has been around for a long time, but of course, now they're adding war to it. Why? Because we're waking up. As Gerald Slinty says, when the people wake up, they take us to war. 

When all else fails, the 2024 digital id and the online age verification agenda, that is what they're focused on. Like Nuki, Haley said, I want to know your name. And of course, she also wants war everywhere. She's a perfect example of how those two things come together. She demands an end to anonymity, and she also demands war with everybody everywhere, over anything. So when we look at the World Economic Forum itself, whenever they have their meetings, if you go to the World Economic Forum's website, you will see just a rash of articles. 

And so it's not too hard to get a feel for what they're pushing in any given year. Everything you need to know about energy at Davos 2024, this is one of their publications. They're saying by bringing together key stakeholders from the public and private sectors, we will drive actions to strengthen the business case for energy transition and transform energy demand to zero. They will build the business case for this by making these people partners in crime while they take everything from us. 

So they're talking about transforming energy demand. That's one of their topics there. Another one, tripling renewables, making it rapid and responsible. We'll ask, how can we make this transition very rapid? They got to speed it up. They're getting close to their deadline, and you're going to see things accelerate. Leaving no one behind in energy transition. Doesn't that sound familiar? Who was it that used to talk about no child left behind? Remember George W. 

Bush? That was a globalist. To really grade it against me, I said, well, what he really means is leaving no child alone. And then part of this, leaving no one behind, is really about energy reparations, which they've been talking about in South Africa, Colombia, Germany. We look at the issue of energy equity. See, this is a precursor to just giving these people vast swaths of money. But, you know, isn't it interesting that they talk about South Africa, Colombia and Germany, and yet, with their green agenda, what are they doing? They're enslaving children to work in cobalt mines in the Democratic Republic of Congo. 

They have literal child slavery, working under conditions that kill these kids and pay them nothing. And yet they're not talking about reparations for that, are they? They're not talking about slavery for that either, are they? No. This is just about transferring wealth to them and to their cronies. Another aspect that they're focusing on, health policy for women and digitalization and climate change. This is another series of things they're going to be focusing on. 

Women hit the hardest. We got to digitalize everything because we've got climate change coming. The year 2023 says the World Economic Forum is the hottest on record. That's a lie that we've often seen repeated. I have often debunked that. It is an absolute lie. They don't even have much in terms of records. But of course, the way they measure the stuff is patently absurd, easily proven to be false. 

We saw life threatening heat waves, wildfires, floods, storms, hurricanes. So the answer to all this is to cut down the trees and bury them, right? Seriously? That's Bill Gates'answer life threatening heat waves. Well, let's get rid of all the air conditioning. You can't have that either. Under the health care issue. World Economic Forum is saying facing a world without know, long before everything became about vaccines, they were telegraphing this. 

They were talking about, well, antibiotics. We can't focus on, we've got to focus on vaccines because we're getting this resistance to antibiotics and they're not working anymore. So everybody's got to be vaccinated. It's like, well, that's not working. But they've been working on that for a long time. And then digitizing health care, fixing what's wrong with it, closing the health gap for women, a $1 trillion opportunity to improve lives and economies, their life, their economy. 

And just with that one thing they're offering these people, their partners in crime, a trillion dollar know. This pot of gold at the end of this rainbow. Jason Barker, Disease X is going to come out because we just handed over our medical sovereignty to the who. Yeah, this is the big takeaway from the last germ game they played. Diseasex will usher in the vaccine passport dictated by the WHO. 

This passport will be married with the digital id and can be tied into CBDC. That's right. All these different scams are converging and we can see the trails and we can see how it's all happening. And so then the question is, what do we do about it? And we're going to have to do something locally, individually, collectively, at the community level. There's certain things that you can do on your own, but there's other things that we can't do unless we, as Edward Jeffrey Griffin said. 

So we have to work collectively for individual liberty. And that's really kind of, I've watched the individual liberty movement for a long time, and it tends to atomize people, and they tend to reject collective collaboration. And that's our real weakness. People who are focused on respect for the individual and elevating individual liberty, they frequently have a hard time working together collectively. That's a big issue. But of course, that's another place where Christianity is vital in order to change that orientation, that worldview of people. 

Hi Boost, says David. I really think they want to release a new virus vaccine program, and they know Trump is the perfect salesman to do so. Yeah, GOP just reelected the same fool that did it the first time. That's right. Fool me once, shame on you, but fool me over and over again. Last one here. Hazel Kitty 57 funny how bleeding heart liberals overlooked child slavery and other human sufferings for their agenda. 

Yeah, their outrage is incredibly selective, isn't it? We'll be right back. If you like the Eagles on a dark desert highway, the cars and Huey Lewis in the news, they say the hot rock and rollers compete. You'll love the classic hits channel at APS radio. Download our app or listen now@apsradio. com. Let me tell you, the David Knight show you can listen to with your ears. You can even watch it by using your eyes. 

In fact, if you can hear me, that means you're listening to the David Knight show right now. Yeah. Good job. And you want to know something else? You can find all the links to everywhere to watch or listen to the show@thedavidnightshow. com. That's a website. Yeah. And that was a commercial that was done by my son, who's working the board today. Travis is sick. As a matter of fact, we've had a lot of sickness going around the family. 

Travis is sick. His wife is sick. My wife is sick. So the only two that aren't sick are whistler, who does the whistling on the fistful of dollars thing and did that commercial. He's working the board, and I'm here. So a lot of people are struggling with flu and that type of thing. But appreciate you keeping us in your prayers and hope that we can stay healthy and keep doing this. 

Let's take a look at what's going on in money. Of course, they want you to own nothing and be happy. I think this is one of the funniest headlines I saw recently. This is coming from the Wall Street Journal. Said it won't be a recession, it'll just feel like one. That's right. Trump's not a dictator. He just feels like one. And he's not the guy who actually killed people. 

He just seems like it. And this won't be a recession, it'll just feel like one. But we're going to supply you with all of the economists to convince you that it's not a recession, even though it feels like it to you, just like they're trying to supply you with economic arguments that they've got inflation licked, even though it doesn't feel like it, even though you can't see it in the prices of things that you're buying. 

They're convincing you, trying to convince you anyway that it's been licked. And there isn't going to be any recession either. And of course, in terms of unemployment numbers, well, every quarter things are getting better and better because they always go back and readjust the previous quarter's unemployment numbers. The SEC approving bitcoin etfs is a historic move. Blackrock's Larry Fink says it's an asset class that protects you. Does it really, or does it make money for him? He says it's the next step to tokenization, in other words, the next step to digitization. 

And again, be very concerned about that. So what is an ETF? Of course, as they explain it, according to investopedia and all the people looking at it, well, we got a bitcoin ETF. What is it? Well, it's a basket of securities that trades on an exchange just like a stock does. And of course, it is fundamentally a derivative, and that ought to raise some red flags for you. 

If you remember what happened in 2008. I think this is another one of these schemes for these people who never seem to run out of another out of schemes. They've always got a new way to repackage the stuff that they sell to you and to hustle you. One of the big things that is a key issue, as we've talked about many times on this program. We talked about it with Catherine Austin Fitz most recently, how important it is for them to get rid of community banks and credit unions. 

They want to try to centralize everything. And a big obstacle in the way of doing that is to have a choice, right? And so in a know, you look at this, and the community banks and the credit unions are like the mom and pop hardware stores and other things like that they want to get rid of. They want to have two or three of them. And those two or three will work with the government. 

And then when they lock us down and all the rest of stuff, they will be essential. As Donald Trump said, all the mom and know the restaurants and service businesses, which is really all that we pretty much have left anymore as entrepreneurs there. Got to shut all those down. You can't work. You just got to go to the big box retailers from Wall street. Well, you have some moves being made in government to threaten the community banks and the credit unions. 

This is being put together as a bipartisan uniparty effort. On the Democrat side, you got Dick Durbin, and on the republican side, you got Roger Marshall. And this is also, as Breitbart points out, it is also a public private partnership, the public partnership, of course, being between the Republicans and the Democrats. And then their partnership on the private side is with the big box retailers coming out of Wall street to try to make it harder or impossible for small businesses on Main street to survive. 

These massive stores, says Breitbart, have recruited senators Dick Durbin and Roger Marshall to help them further pad their pockets by pushing for a new law that will hurt local community banks, credit unions and your data security. Their new bill will detrimentally affect credit card services and rewards as we know them. Under the Durban Marshall credit card bill, America's leading credit card networks will be completely altered. The new mandates that Durban and Marshall, along with the corporate megastore allies are calling for would cause credit cards to be routed through an entirely new processing networks. 

These mandates would allow stores to cut costs and turn to cheaper, untested network, increasing the risk of bad actors obtaining confidential consumer data, all to line the pockets of Walmarts and the targets of this world. So when you look at this, it's interesting how seems to be always the usual suspects and they always seem to have the same mo, don't they? And so what do you know when you look at CBDC? Well, we're going to have a completely new processing network. 

We have a new financial system. It's going to be faster. It's not going to use the kind of energy that bitcoin does where you have to show that you're actually doing work. You have to have proof of work for all these other crypto coins, but not for our new coin, not for the Fed coin or the successor to the end goal of Fed now, which they've already put in place. 

No, we will have, instead of proof of work, we'll have proof of authority, right? Proof of stake is what they call it, but that's what that truly is about. And then you also see some other games that they've been playing with us. Breitbart doesn't talk about this, but when I look at this and how they describe this, they say the changes will come at a significant systemic cost, a cost that will be ultimately borne by consumers and by the local financial institutions that serve them. 

Many credit union and community banks will be forced to retreat from credit card issuance in response to this. It's very similar. They're going to put a great deal of new regulations on for people to participate into this system. And it's essentially what Liz Warren did. In response to the derivatives, we've got the new bitcoin etfs, and we've got other types of fantasy financial investments that are out there. 

And so they come up with these things. They create problems. And then when everything blows up and crashes or whatever you have, Liz Warren comes in and says, we need to put some new rules on the banks. Does she go back and reenact the Glass Steagall act that prohibited them from getting involved in speculative investments after the Great Depression, said, we'll give you insurance, FDIC insurance, but you can't get in these speculative investments as a trade off of this. 

And then Bill Clinton removed that. Did Liz Warren say, well, let's go back. That worked for a long time? No, instead she comes up with the Consumer Financial Protection Board, she and Barney Frank. And what did that do? Well, that said, we're going to have a lot more paperwork for these banks to fill out. And they just smothered them with reports. Now, the big banks could swallow that cost and pass it on to you. 

They could ramp up and create massive little subbiocracies to process all this stuff and pass the cost on. But what happened was it drove the small and medium sized banks out of being able to do a lot of these loans. And so they started going out of business. This is another one of these things. Instead of putting on all kinds of rules and regulations for doing a home mortgage or something like that, they put in regulations about credit cards. 

Of course, the solution to all this is not to bail out anybody, but to let the people who, first of all, if you're going to bail them out with an insurance thing, you take away the risky practices. That's what glass steagle did. But then if people manage their business badly, you let them go out of business, and other people will grab their assets and redistribute them and hopefully organize them in a more effective way. 

That's how the market is supposed to work. The competitive market is supposed to work, but instead what they do is in the name of protecting the consumers, they go in and they drive these small organizations out. So they can consolidate it into a few big banks. Everything that they did was about consolidation. As I've said many times before, Bill Clinton, Erskin Bowles was a guy that was high up in the Clinton administration. 

I forget his exact title, but he was somebody that was involved in the banking industry in North Carolina. He shepherded through the merger between Nations bank, which is a really big bank in North Carolina, and Bank of America, which is a big bank in California, to become the biggest and a national bank. And they changed the name to bank of America. But then they moved the bank to be headquartered in North Carolina. 

And he got that through. And everybody said, well, it's going to set off a wave of consolidation. And it did, and we're going to wind up with just a few big banks. And we did. And then they failed because Bill Clinton let them get involved in risky investments, and then they bailed them out. And then they came in with new regulations, supposedly to fix this crisis that they had created, and it drives their competitors out of business. 

This bill will place sensitive consumer data in the hands of unknown and untrustworthy processing networks, says Breitbart. In 2010, megastores and their allies told the same lies about this, which led to Congress passing the Durban amendment. The Durban amendment instituted price controls on debit card fees that led to a ripple effect on the entire economy. Well, again, when we look at price controls, I think there ought to be usery laws. 

I don't know if that's what they mean with this, but if you bring in all kinds of additional requirements and fees like that, it's going to be passed on to the consumer, and that's what they're talking about here. It'll be passed on to the consumer by the big banks who are able to comply with this and move with it. The other people will be driven out of that business and maybe out of business altogether. 

But again, I don't know if this price controls what they're talking about. I don't think it's the interest rate things, because we still see 30% to 50% interest rates in the worst case scenarios on these credit card things. So that certainly is not something that was prohibited by the Durban amendment. And then zero hedge saying that latest data coming out of Berlin there is a miraculous, that's why they referred to it as they brought this out. 

A miraculous upward revision rescues Germany from recession. In the latest data, you see, it's always going to be about the data, and that's what they're talking about. Just the very beginning of this Wall Street Journal says, well, you're going to think that it's a recession, but it's not going to be a recession. Why? Well, because they will revise it, the recession, with their phony numbers. And they'll tell you, just like they told you with the pandemic and just like they tell you with these other things, that what you see is not true. 

Forget what your lying eyes are telling you. Listen to them. They'll tell you what is true and what is not true. And so they're going to continually change the data. They're going to continually come up with these new structures. And in the same way that Blackrock is telling you, well, this derivative of bitcoin is going to be the thing that you can trust that's going to make you rich. 

Be very skeptical of that. Just like you see the projections based on the fact that there's an ETF out there. You got all these projections saying bitcoin is projected to smash $100,000 this year. Why? Well, because the ETFs are going to allow more retail investors to hold bitcoin indirectly via these derivatives. Well, it lets you think that you're holding that. But just as we've talked about in the past, paper and silver, gold, paper, gold, silver, gold, paper, gold and paper, silver. 

Those are etFs. And supposedly these organizations have bought the gold and the silver, but you don't know. You're not auditing them. It's like you're not auditing the Federal Reserve. Is that real or not? You think that more people are buying into silver and gold, and yet the prices don't seem to be tracking with each other. So it raises a lot of question as to whether or not they're really, if more and more people buy gold and silver, these exchanges in the Shanghai gold exchange, they just sell more and more shares of these things, but they don't seem to be buying more and more gold and silver. 

And so the interesting thing is, and of course, a lot of this may be the buy on rumor and sell on the news of it happening, but bitcoin stumbled after the ETF hype faded and other alternative coins have followed suit. So rather than just a straight upward trajectory, you get a very noisy bouncing around. Gold prices, on the other hand, rallied. Why? Well, because of wars after the strikes against the hooties that caused gold prices to go up. 

Look, as I said before, from a personal standpoint, I want something that is going to be non digital. I want, as Catherine Austin Fitzgalzino, analog money, physical money that I can hold that I don't have to trust with somebody else. That's one of the reasons why I'm really happy that I have the support of Tony, Tony Arderman at Wise Wolfgold and he set up David Knight Gold. That is a way for you to start making personal investments that are going to protect you in this unstable world that we're in. 

And I'm not saying, as Tony has said, I'm not saying that you can't make money with bitcoin. A lot of people made money with it, but it looks more and more like a stock, doesn't it? And I've come to realize in my life, I've come to regard the stock market as a casino. And what this is doing with this bitcoin ETF is it's making bitcoin like a casino stock. 

That's what this is truly about. So again, Davidnight Gold will take you to Tonyardoban and you can help yourself and help this broadcast at the same time. YJ 72. Thank you very much for the tip. He says, please look into cell salt, C-E-L-L. Praying for your family to feel better. Well, I'll look into that. Thank you. I've had a lot of people tell me about potassium, and I've been taking a supplement of potassium. 

It was kind of interesting. We went to the pharmacy, couldn't find it. I asked the pharmacist to come out, and he goes, well, I'll help you look. He turns out he didn't have it, but he said, well, I'll tell you this. He says, just disclaimer. He said, most of the potassium that's out here is less than you'd get in a banana. And he was absolutely right. I started looking at potassium online. 

Most of it was about 70 some Od milligrams and bananas. I forget now it's like 400, 450 milligrams of sodium. So it's way less than a banana, but you can find some. The most I could find was 1000 milligrams. And so I thought, well, what is it that they're recommending people? Well, the FDA is really famous for their recommendations of things. They recommend 60 milligrams of vitamin C. 

Why? Because they've determined that that is the absolute minimum to keep you from getting scurvy. And so their required daily allowances are really typically minimums. And so I looked at them. So what is their RDA on potassium? Of course, you can get potassium in a lot of different foods, but the ones that are really high in them are the highest ones are foods that are not really even available in the US. 

They're coming from Africa. Fruits or vegetables coming out of Africa or Asia, things like that, that I'd never even heard of. But the most you could get was 1000. Their RDA is 5000 milligrams. That's strange because you don't even have any pills that even come close to that RDA. So I guess most people have a potassium deficiency. So I've been trying to do something about that. The jury is still out in terms of my blood pressure, it hasn't seemed to have a measurable effect yet on that. 

Jason Barker paper gold and paper silver etfs are more of a futures market, in my opinion. Buy now at the current prices and we promise to mine it later and give it to you right now. They can't mine silver at the cost. So I don't think the paper silver exists in physical form. Yeah, all this stuff, everything, all these different financial instruments, and I mean, just take a look at the abstraction of a natural asset company. 

Another example. We're going to create this new thing and it's just 100% scam. That's how they rip people off. It's like the securitized mortgages. Early 2000s, foggy trail, the father of the vaccine will push the cbdcs. Well, as a matter of fact, that's already been. The CBDC push did not begin with Biden. It began with Trump, and it began with Jared Kushner and Steve Mnuchin. They were pushing it internally, heavily. 

Trump or Biden took it to the next stage. And he put in, in March of. So I'm trying to think it's March of 2022. Yeah, March of 2022. He ordered all the swamp, because all the swamp is under, all the bureaucracies are under the presidency. And so he ordered everybody in the swamp to come back and report to him in one of four areas, how to completely restructure the financial system, how to actually implement this thing in terms of code and things like that, how to the law enforcement people, how to enforce CBDC, it's not going to be voluntary. 

That's why they got the army of IRS agents and things like that out there. And then the fourth one was to create propaganda about how cbdcs were necessary to fight climate change. Those are the four areas. He said, give me a report, everybody in the swamp. Give me your report in six months. And they all did. And they immediately proceeded to the next step, which was fed now, which they had already been working on. 

It was all just a ruse but it all began in the Trump administration with Jared Kushner and Steve Mnuchin, the Goldman Sachs banker that he put in in treasury. Trump put in at treasury. Harps, good to see you there. Harps hope things are good down under. If they were truly about health, they would make insulin and the likes cheaper or. Yeah, yeah. We have some of the most expensive drugs in the world here in the US. 

B slice own nothing, be happy. Where can we find that video? I'll tell you tomorrow because there's some other ones, and I'll make sure that I mention the YouTube channel for that because they've done several of these things and he sent me the links to them and I forgot to write down the name of the channel, but I'll have it for you tomorrow. One truth, magnesium David. Critical element, reduces muscle stress, aging used in many processes. 

I've got it. I haven't started taking it yet because I forget to take it at night. I know that also seems to help people sleep better. I don't need anything to make me sleepy before I do a three hour live show. So that's my problem is getting on a schedule with that. Jen Jones. The globalists want us to use less energy so it can be diverted to their AI and ML and LLM. 

Yeah, the large language models and all the rest of this stuff. Yeah, they don't have any problem. As they talk about bitcoin or any of these currencies that are being mined, they're very, very selective in terms about what they want for energies. The hypocrisy is stunning. Just as they don't want you to have more than one commercial flight every three years, and then no more than 900 miles. 

But they fly everywhere on their private jets in the same way they are looking at everything that we do, storing everything that we do, and mining it all the time. Their data mining operations and their correlations of the information that they have kept on us with the surveillance state that dwarfs anything that cryptocurrency would do, and we all know that. And then, of course, the amount of power used by these large language models, chat, GPT and the like. 

You look at the number of Nvidia graphic or gpus that they've got out there, it's just astounding. Not only the cost, each of those things costing $10,000, but they've got this massive array of these things, and I don't even know what the energy usage is for those things, but they don't talk about that. But they talk all the time about how much energy cryptocurrency uses. Jen Jones. A recent study estimated that Chat GPT-3 needed 1287 megawatt hours. 

There we go. So he's got the data to train and also emitted 552 tons of co2, roughly the equivalent of driving a car 1. 3 million mile. But doing that every hour. Wow, that's amazing. Yeah, it is truly phenomenal. And then that's just the AI side of it. That's not the surveillance state and their massive storage facilities, where they've stored everything on the Internet for decades and that type of thing. 

So they've got their agenda. Their agenda is about surveillance and control and making sure that we own nothing. We'll be right. Sometimes your day needs a little smoothing. Check out the jazz channel@apsradio. com, and the APS radio app. And leave the stress behind. Liberty, it's your move. And now the David Knight show. George Boy 1142. How can you operate a police state without energy? Well, by keeping everybody else from having energy, and you have all of it. 

They're shutting down the energy production, but they're going to shut down the use completely for the rest of us. Or if you've got an electric car, what they will do is use that as a battery to feed the grid, and they will be the ones who will be able to use the energy, and you won't be able to use they. I think they've thought that part of it through, unfortunately. 

Let's take a look at war today. And we see that President Xi Jinping is in a battle with China's own military. We're told by the establishment, and the outcome could drag the US into World War II. This is coming from business insiders. That's the establishment NATo type of paper. Nevertheless, the narrative that they're pushing out, and who knows if it is true, is that Xi Jinping is like chinese equivalent of Nikki Haley pushing for war. 

And supposedly his military is resisting that. And that's not hard to believe. The people have to fight the wars sometimes are not that crazy. Occasionally you get people like Lloyd Austin and other people like that who will do it, or Millie that you heard Trump brag about so much. Mad dog know. Then he fires them, tries to fire them on the way. Never fired Millie. He just didn't like Millie. 

But I don't know if Xi Jinping has a problem with all of these people. Maybe if things don't work out on his side, he could always quit and he could start a social media company. Right? Maybe he call it well, he can't call it X that's been taken. He could call it Xi. That'd be, you know, intellectual property theft. That's a thing with the Chinese that's been kind of big part of their China price. 

All right, and we're back. We had a glitch in our power and Internet. It took a while for the Internet to come back up. But if there's anybody still left on streams, I don't know if they're there or not. But we were just talking about the approaches to war and the fact that we're being told that Xi Jinping is getting ever more adamant to move against Taiwan. And as we look at what has just happened in Taiwan, we had an election there, and you had a person who is hardline in terms of independence there in Taiwan. 

And so he's a nationalist, but he's not a christian nationalist. So I guess it's okay. No, seriously, I'm in favor of self governance for people. I just don't want the US involved in these wars. Right. So if Ukraine wants to break off from Russia, we all know that that was a coup and a thing that was orchestrated by the Obama administration, but let's just ignore that part of it for right now. 

And the bigger picture, if Ukraine wanted to be legitimately wanted to be independent, if it wasn't geopolitical game by the US empire, that's fine. They should be allowed to do that. But it's very telling when they said the Crimea could not leave them and remain with Russia. So if they want to break away from Russia, fine. But if Crimea wants to remain, that's not fine. And so I always believe that since I believe in the principles of the american revolution of self governance, I always support people for that type of thing. 

And I support that for Taiwan as well, but not for us to be involved in that conflict. And so that's the situation in Asia. Then, of course, we look at the other places where World War II is being aggressively pushed. In Germany, the military is preparing for a potential attack by Russia in February. And that is the secret document that has now been leaked, perhaps for a reason, by. 

It's called the Alliance Defense 2025. This is a german ministry of defense document that lays out how we get involved into world war three. But of course, there's multiple triggers taking us into World War II. Yeah. Jason Barker. We're not being dragged into World War II. We are orchestrating it. You're absolutely right. That's right. We have set up these tripwires everywhere, and it's like, oh, what are we going to do about it? These dastardly Russians are going to be invading. 

Well, that's the way it may be portrayed. But again, you look at it for truly world war. They've got these things set up in Asia as well as in the Middle east and also even in Europe at the same time. And so again, I'll just repeat what I said briefly yesterday, and that is when we look at what is going on, for example, with all these wars, it should not be our fight, but of course, it is part of the american empire. 

What I said yesterday when I was talking about the questions that people are asking the GOp candidates at pizza ranch, the reporter who was following them around said that almost all the questions were about foreign policy. I don't know if that was because people were worried that we were going to be drugged into war by our american government. They're the ones who are dragging us in. Or are you going to avoid that? Or were they pushing them to do it? I kind of think the people in Iowa didn't want us being involved in these foreign entanglements, didn't like the idea of politicians who like to drag us into war, politicians like Nikki haley, although she did get 19% of the vote. 

Well, we're out of time. Tomorrow we're going to aspire to try to finish the show in the usual way. Thank you for sticking with us. We've got much more to say about all these things and that we did not cover today. Thank you for joining us. Have a good day. You they created common core to dumb down our children. They created common paths to track and control us. 

Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing and the communist future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. 

It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find@thedavidnightshow. com. Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing.
