[01:29.900 --> 01:36.000]  En un mundo de deceit, decir la verdad es un acto revolucionario.
[01:36.000 --> 01:38.500]  ¡Es el David Knight Show!
[01:44.500 --> 01:48.200]  As the clock strikes 13, it's Monday, December 29th.
[01:48.200 --> 01:51.200]  Here of our Lord 2025.
[01:51.200 --> 01:54.700]  We won't be saying 2025 very much longer.
[01:54.700 --> 01:58.100]  I hope you had a much better Christmas than Trump.
[01:58.200 --> 02:03.600]  He's been raging on social media, plotting for more wars.
[02:03.600 --> 02:08.300]  It must be the effect of the 12 days of Epstein.
[02:08.300 --> 02:11.400]  And the documents you weren't supposed to see.
[02:11.400 --> 02:15.600]  Yeah, well, we'll talk about what's up for the New Year.
[02:15.600 --> 02:17.000]  Happy New Wars!
[02:17.000 --> 02:18.900]  That looks like that's what's on the menu.
[02:18.900 --> 02:25.900]  Also, there's some very important information about silver that we're going to talk about.
[02:26.000 --> 02:28.400]  It's been a great year for silver.
[02:28.400 --> 02:33.400]  But there may be some things that you need to be aware of that you might want to defend against.
[02:33.400 --> 02:41.900]  And speaking of defense, they've got Bill Gates and Albert Borla, Mark Ruda, the usual suspects, you know.
[02:41.900 --> 02:46.300]  They've actually got a lawsuit in the Netherlands.
[02:46.300 --> 02:53.500]  And this lawsuit is about the bioweapon being, the Trump shot being a bioweapon.
[02:53.500 --> 02:55.800]  As I've said for the longest time.
[02:55.800 --> 02:57.000]  So we're going to talk about that as well.
[02:57.000 --> 02:58.500]  Stay with us. We'll be right back.
[03:10.300 --> 03:13.000]  Well, I really do hope that you had a nice Christmas.
[03:13.000 --> 03:15.600]  We did. We had the time off, as you know.
[03:15.600 --> 03:24.900]  And I couldn't very well make my staff work days that Trump was giving the people in Washington, D.C. off.
[03:24.900 --> 03:30.700]  I mean, Trump hates the federal workers and he gave them Wednesday and Friday off last week.
[03:30.700 --> 03:33.700]  So I actually love my workers here.
[03:33.700 --> 03:38.300]  So I'm not going to make them work on those days that Trump gives them off.
[03:38.300 --> 03:41.400]  But I hope you had a good holiday weekend.
[03:41.400 --> 03:43.700]  It was a good time of rest for us.
[03:43.700 --> 03:47.700]  Well, Trump, unfortunately, wasn't resting himself.
[03:47.700 --> 03:53.800]  He delivered a deranged threat to TV networks and his Yuletide meltdown.
[03:53.800 --> 03:56.000]  Christmas Ba Trump bug.
[03:56.000 --> 03:58.900]  Yeah, this is that's a headline from Daily Beast.
[03:58.900 --> 04:05.100]  He wanted Stephen Colbert put to sleep.
[04:05.100 --> 04:07.300]  Euthanize him, I guess.
[04:07.300 --> 04:13.000]  Trump was not really in the Christmas spirit of peace on Earth and goodwill to all.
[04:13.000 --> 04:17.100]  As a matter of fact, he's not really looking at peace on Earth either.
[04:17.200 --> 04:19.900]  When you look at.
[04:19.900 --> 04:24.000]  OK, so he's got the Zelensky at Mar-a-Lago trying to tamp that down.
[04:24.000 --> 04:26.900]  And that's a good thing. I don't want to have a war with Russia.
[04:26.900 --> 04:30.400]  Don't want to have World War Three. Europe does.
[04:30.400 --> 04:32.800]  But I'm glad that Trump is pushing back on that.
[04:32.800 --> 04:34.800]  I hope they get that settled.
[04:34.800 --> 04:42.700]  However, if you look at these other places, Venezuela, Nigeria, other places, Trump is the warmonger in chief.
[04:42.700 --> 04:46.000]  Iran is now back on the menu as well.
[04:46.000 --> 04:48.100]  We'll talk about that coming up.
[04:48.100 --> 04:56.900]  So he had, as Daily Beast calls it, a fiery festive rant in the wee hours of Christmas Eve.
[04:56.900 --> 04:59.900]  Ends it with Merry Christmas, however, right?
[04:59.900 --> 05:05.500]  Launched one of his frequent tirades against American TV networks, claiming that they were all against him.
[05:05.500 --> 05:11.000]  CBS seemed to pander to the president's whims by spiking a story about the Trump administration deporting
[05:11.100 --> 05:19.500]  Venezuelan migrants to a notorious mega prison in El Salvador just three hours before it was due to air on Sunday's 60 Minutes.
[05:19.500 --> 05:26.500]  And of course, that's the new gatekeeper, Barry Weiss, that took that on to do that herself,
[05:26.500 --> 05:30.700]  lowering the journalistic standards there beyond what we have seen before.
[05:30.700 --> 05:37.700]  But again, understand that 60 Minutes was never really independent, not really a muckraker.
[05:37.700 --> 05:40.100]  They always had an agenda.
[05:40.100 --> 05:50.600]  It's just now that the agenda is pretty obviously in favor of the violence that Trump is doing everywhere, internally as well as foreign.
[05:50.600 --> 05:59.000]  So he said, if the network newscasts in their late night shows are almost 100 percent negative to President Donald J.
[05:59.000 --> 06:05.700]  Trump, always referring to himself in the third party, then shouldn't their valuable broadcast licenses be terminated?
[06:05.700 --> 06:08.300]  I say yes.
[06:08.300 --> 06:12.500]  This has become a trope for him.
[06:12.500 --> 06:15.900]  He thinks that he can just censor whoever he wishes.
[06:15.900 --> 06:20.600]  It's very interesting to see this battle shaping up in free speech.
[06:20.600 --> 06:26.000]  You've got Theory Breton, I call him conspiracy theory, who came to the U.S.
[06:26.000 --> 06:30.200]  and threatened Musk when Musk bought Twitter, said, you'll do what we say.
[06:30.200 --> 06:34.600]  And he was the guy that was really pushing through this DSA Digital Services Act.
[06:34.600 --> 06:39.600]  And of course, they have now moved against Musk with purported fines.
[06:39.600 --> 06:43.500]  And so the Trump administration pushed back on that.
[06:43.500 --> 06:46.100]  Good. Good. I'm glad they did that.
[06:46.100 --> 06:51.800]  The problem is the Trump administration is guilty as well of censorship.
[06:51.800 --> 06:54.000]  And we're going to talk about that coming up.
[06:54.000 --> 06:57.200]  It is rank hypocrisy, what they're doing.
[06:57.200 --> 07:04.400]  How do you criticize the European Union when you decide that you are going to unilaterally
[07:04.400 --> 07:10.700]  shut down news organizations or bankrupt them with your lawfare lawsuits?
[07:10.700 --> 07:15.100]  And it's not just that either. It's a censorship that's being done for the state of Israel.
[07:15.100 --> 07:19.800]  You're not allowed to criticize a foreign government.
[07:19.800 --> 07:22.400]  What is that in the Constitution?
[07:22.400 --> 07:27.100]  Is there an exception in the First Amendment that I didn't catch about not criticizing?
[07:27.100 --> 07:30.100]  Certain foreign governments?
[07:30.100 --> 07:33.900]  Well, the Colbert's program is currently in reruns.
[07:33.900 --> 07:37.000]  Trump was really torqued out about it.
[07:37.000 --> 07:40.300]  And again, you know, gets on his high horse about it.
[07:40.300 --> 07:47.100]  And Barry Weiss censoring that at 60 Minutes, the reporter behind the spiked story,
[07:47.100 --> 07:52.900]  said if the standards for airing a story becomes the government must agree to be interviewed,
[07:52.900 --> 07:56.900]  then the government effectively gains control over the 60 Minutes broadcast.
[07:56.900 --> 08:01.200]  We go from an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state.
[08:01.200 --> 08:05.000]  Well, they've been a stenographer for the state at CBS for a very long time.
[08:05.000 --> 08:07.100]  During the days of Walter Cronkite.
[08:07.100 --> 08:09.900]  It's called Operation Mockingbird.
[08:09.900 --> 08:11.900]  They hand you the script and you say it.
[08:11.900 --> 08:14.100]  And they weren't the only one either.
[08:14.100 --> 08:17.200]  And then the days after Kimmel's show was suspended,
[08:17.200 --> 08:20.900]  he claimed 97% of the networks are against him.
[08:20.900 --> 08:24.900]  Well, he increased the ratings of Jimmy Kimmel.
[08:24.900 --> 08:28.300]  And then, not to be forgotten, he came after Thomas Massie.
[08:28.300 --> 08:32.800]  And this is the most amazing thing that Trump did, I think, over the weekend.
[08:32.800 --> 08:36.500]  He called Thomas Massie a lowlife.
[08:36.500 --> 08:39.200]  A lowlife for pushing to release the...
[08:39.200 --> 08:43.200]  Hey, it's Ben Ferguson and I want to be honest with you for a second
[08:43.200 --> 08:46.100]  about how an act of compassion really feels.
[08:46.100 --> 08:49.400]  A couple of years ago, I made the choice to partner
[08:49.400 --> 08:53.100]  with an amazing organization called Compassion International.
[08:53.100 --> 08:54.000]  Why?
[08:54.000 --> 08:57.200]  Because I wanted to sponsor a child in need.
[08:57.200 --> 08:59.100]  It was a nice idea, sure.
[08:59.100 --> 09:04.900]  But I had no idea just how much that simple act would change my life as well.
[09:04.900 --> 09:10.100]  I sponsored Nadia and got to watch her life change right in front of my eyes.
[09:10.100 --> 09:13.700]  Going from starving literally alone on the streets
[09:13.700 --> 09:19.800]  to getting the health care and education she needs to reach her God-given full potential.
[09:19.800 --> 09:22.100]  I got to be a part of that change.
[09:22.100 --> 09:25.900]  And the light of that compassion not only illuminates in her,
[09:25.900 --> 09:28.000]  it illuminates now in me.
[09:28.000 --> 09:30.600]  That is the power of compassion.
[09:30.600 --> 09:34.300]  The light of Christ shines on all of us.
[09:34.300 --> 09:38.300]  Feel it for yourself and change literally a child's life.
[09:38.300 --> 09:41.400]  Change the world and you also change yourself.
[09:41.400 --> 09:43.300]  You can sponsor a child today.
[09:43.300 --> 09:45.900]  Visit Compassion.com.
[09:45.900 --> 09:49.200]  That's Compassion.com.
[09:49.200 --> 09:51.000]  What's going on, Texas? It's Bluff here.
[09:51.000 --> 09:54.800]  Are you sick and tired of going to the rodeo, eating that great Texas barbecue,
[09:54.800 --> 09:56.600]  and sweeping tumbleweeds off your driveway?
[09:56.600 --> 09:58.000]  Well, don't worry. You can take a break now.

[10:17.200 --> 10:19.600]  Visit SpinQuest.com for more details.
[10:19.700 --> 10:21.600]  Epstein documents.
[10:21.600 --> 10:24.900]  When Trump himself is trying to cover up his involvement.
[10:24.900 --> 10:31.600]  When Trump himself was the essential lowlife in the way he conducted his life
[10:31.600 --> 10:34.500]  when he was best friends with Jeffrey Epstein.
[10:34.500 --> 10:36.300]  And at other times as well.
[10:36.300 --> 10:40.800]  I mean, how in the world, look in the mirror when you're going to call somebody a lowlife,
[10:40.800 --> 10:47.100]  there's probably nothing more lowlife than we have seen than Donald Trump's personal conduct.
[10:47.100 --> 10:49.400]  So Massey was singled out.
[10:49.400 --> 10:57.100]  On Christmas as a lowlife because he co-authored a law requiring the federal government to release the Epstein files.
[10:57.100 --> 11:00.900]  And trying to help victims as well.
[11:00.900 --> 11:06.600]  So Trump posted on his so-called truth social platform.
[11:06.600 --> 11:10.900]  He said the whole Epstein thing is a scam.
[11:10.900 --> 11:12.800]  How's that? Yeah, it is.
[11:12.800 --> 11:18.600]  It is but and it is a hoax, but not in the way that he wants you to think it is.
[11:18.600 --> 11:25.300]  Massey and he talked about Massey called him a lowlife Republican.
[11:25.300 --> 11:30.800]  So Massey said imagine celebrating a blessed Christmas with your family
[11:30.800 --> 11:35.800]  and suddenly phones alert everyone to the most powerful man in the world attacking you
[11:35.800 --> 11:42.300]  because you fulfilled his campaign promise to help victims.
[11:42.300 --> 11:49.200]  Yeah, so Massey also said all those with connections to Epstein must face the same kind of consequences
[11:49.200 --> 11:53.900]  as Andrew, Prince Andrew or the man formerly known as Prince,
[11:53.900 --> 11:59.300]  who lost his British royal title as the Duke of York.
[11:59.300 --> 12:06.900]  And I guess he's the Duke of Earl over his ties to Epstein.
[12:06.900 --> 12:11.700]  So he says there's been a reckoning in Britain that needs to happen in the US.
[12:11.700 --> 12:13.900]  He said a prince lost his title.
[12:13.900 --> 12:20.300]  The ambassador of the US lost his job and we need to see those kinds of consequences here.
[12:20.300 --> 12:21.900]  He said.
[12:21.900 --> 12:30.900]  Well, Trump wasn't just focused on CBS and the press and Thomas Massey and the Epstein files.
[12:30.900 --> 12:38.000]  He's also upset about the New York Times calling them a threat to the national security of our nation
[12:38.000 --> 12:40.900]  as part of his late night rant.
[12:40.900 --> 12:43.100]  So how are they a threat to the national security?
[12:43.100 --> 12:49.900]  Well, if you understand that the nation is simply Donald Trump's interests,
[12:49.900 --> 12:53.800]  then national security becomes the interest of Trump.
[12:53.800 --> 12:56.400]  That's how they are a threat.
[12:56.400 --> 13:01.200]  The failing New York Times and their lies and their purposeful misrepresentations.
[13:01.200 --> 13:04.700]  A serious threat to the national security of our nation.
[13:04.700 --> 13:06.400]  I gotta say this.
[13:06.400 --> 13:12.500]  You know, for the longest time people have said patriotism is the refuge of a scoundrel, right?
[13:12.500 --> 13:13.600]  The last refuge.
[13:13.600 --> 13:21.700]  I have to say national security is the first refuge of a scoundrel government.
[13:21.700 --> 13:23.400]  Everything is about national security.
[13:23.400 --> 13:27.700]  I am so sick and tired of seeing that used as a shield against everything.
[13:27.700 --> 13:32.700]  And of course, most of the time when it is being used as a shield, it's exactly like this.
[13:32.700 --> 13:39.200]  It's a shield to protect some corrupt politician from people saying what they have done.
[13:39.200 --> 13:44.500]  Or some corrupt organization like the CIA.
[13:44.500 --> 13:46.100]  They are the true enemy of the people.
[13:46.100 --> 13:50.200]  Thank you for your attention to this matter.
[13:50.200 --> 13:51.600]  Thank you for your attention to this matter.
[13:51.600 --> 13:55.000]  Is it on? Is it on?
[13:55.000 --> 13:59.600]  Anyway, the president made the post just days after the New York Times published an explosive article
[13:59.700 --> 14:03.800]  on Trump's former relationship with the late-night sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
[14:03.800 --> 14:05.200]  That's what I said at the beginning.
[14:05.200 --> 14:06.900]  This is the 12 days of Epstein.
[14:06.900 --> 14:09.600]  He's about had it, right?
[14:09.600 --> 14:13.800]  There's all these lords leaping on women and all the rest of this stuff.
[14:13.800 --> 14:17.200]  All the geese-goosing, I guess, is going on.
[14:17.200 --> 14:24.700]  In the article titled, Don's Best Friend, How Epstein and Trump Bonded Over the Pursuit of Women,
[14:24.700 --> 14:26.900]  they interviewed more than 30 former employees of Epstein,
[14:26.900 --> 14:31.600]  victims of sex offender's abuse, and others who crossed paths with Epstein and Trump.
[14:31.600 --> 14:38.800]  Beginning in the late 1980s, the two men forged a bond intense enough to leave others who knew them
[14:38.800 --> 14:42.200]  with the impression that they were each other's closest friend.
[14:42.200 --> 14:46.300]  Epstein was perhaps Trump's most reliable wingman.
[14:46.300 --> 14:50.600]  Epstein and his partner, Ghislaine Maxwell, allegedly introduced at least six women
[14:50.600 --> 14:52.700]  who have accused them of grooming or abuse.
[14:52.700 --> 14:57.000]  At least six women are introduced to Mr. Trump, including one minor.
[14:57.000 --> 15:02.500]  One victim told the newspaper she was coerced into attending four parties at Epstein's home.
[15:02.500 --> 15:07.200]  And two of them, she said Epstein directed her to have sex with other male guests.
[15:07.200 --> 15:09.800]  Trump attended all four, the women said.
[15:09.800 --> 15:12.900]  And so when you look at these documents that they put out,
[15:12.900 --> 15:17.000]  again, what is really interesting and funny about it
[15:17.100 --> 15:27.400]  is the fact that the people who put this stuff out really had no understanding
[15:27.400 --> 15:29.900]  of what they were doing with the documents.
[15:29.900 --> 15:33.900]  It's very similar. It reminds me of what happened with Obama and the birth certificate.
[15:33.900 --> 15:40.900]  There are questions about his birth certificate and who his father was and that type of thing.
[15:40.900 --> 15:46.100]  And so they put out a birth certificate that was essentially a Photoshop document
[15:46.100 --> 15:49.800]  with layers still there and you could see how they had modified it.
[15:49.800 --> 15:52.600]  A similar thing happened with Trump.
[15:52.600 --> 15:58.100]  And I'm looking for it here and I'm trying to see.
[15:58.100 --> 16:00.400]  I don't see it there. Let's see.
[16:00.400 --> 16:06.800]  Yeah, I don't see the clip there, but it was a clip where you could
[16:06.800 --> 16:10.200]  they demonstrate the fact that the doctor may be fixed by now.
[16:10.200 --> 16:14.400]  I haven't looked at it. But the way they put the thing up,
[16:14.400 --> 16:20.400]  they put it up as a text document again with layers like the Obama birth certificate.
[16:20.400 --> 16:26.700]  And so if you typed in and then they also so you could drag through the files that they put up.
[16:26.700 --> 16:30.400]  If it was something is redacted, you could drag through it, copy it,
[16:30.400 --> 16:33.600]  paste it somewhere else and it would get the text,
[16:33.600 --> 16:36.800]  but not the redacted bar that was there.
[16:36.800 --> 16:41.100]  They didn't flatten the document and so you can see what they redacted.
[16:41.100 --> 16:44.900]  Very much like what we saw with the TSA and that lawsuit,
[16:44.900 --> 16:47.800]  except there they posted up on Pacer.gov,
[16:47.800 --> 16:52.600]  which is a website that looks at that they post the federal lawsuits on.
[16:52.600 --> 16:55.600]  First, they posted the unredacted thing.
[16:55.600 --> 16:59.100]  We grabbed that before they changed it later that day.
[16:59.100 --> 17:00.900]  And then they put up the redacted one.
[17:00.900 --> 17:03.800]  So you just go back and compare the two and see what they didn't want you to know,
[17:03.800 --> 17:10.000]  which was by the way, the fact that in 2011 where they were threatening to shut down
[17:10.000 --> 17:14.700]  Texas as a no-fly zone because the pushback in the Texas legislature
[17:14.700 --> 17:19.400]  against the pat downs and the naked body scanners,
[17:19.400 --> 17:25.600]  you could see that at that very same time the TSA itself said in internal documents
[17:25.600 --> 17:30.800]  that there was no threat against airports or airplanes.
[17:30.800 --> 17:36.600]  And of course, you know, that's the case because they they fail nearly 100% of the time.
[17:36.600 --> 17:40.900]  If there had been a threat, we would have had terrorist events happening
[17:40.900 --> 17:43.300]  because they weren't protecting anybody.
[17:43.300 --> 17:47.800]  But they were trying to protect the lies that they were all about.
[17:47.800 --> 17:53.900]  And we're going to take a look at what's about to happen to travel in the U.S. as well.
[17:53.900 --> 17:56.600]  You know, they're locking us down little by little.
[17:58.600 --> 18:02.600]  Hey, it's Ben Ferguson and I want to be honest with you for a second
[18:02.600 --> 18:05.500]  about how an act of compassion really feels.
[18:05.500 --> 18:10.600]  A couple of years ago, I made the choice to partner with an amazing organization
[18:10.600 --> 18:12.500]  called Compassion International.
[18:12.500 --> 18:16.500]  Why? Because I wanted to sponsor a child in need.
[18:16.500 --> 18:18.400]  It was a nice idea, sure.
[18:18.400 --> 18:24.200]  But I had no idea just how much that simple act would change my life as well.
[18:24.200 --> 18:29.400]  I sponsored Nadia and got to watch her life change right in front of my eyes
[18:29.400 --> 18:35.100]  going from starving literally alone on the streets to getting the health care and education.
[18:35.100 --> 18:39.000]  She needs to reach her God given full potential.
[18:39.000 --> 18:45.100]  I got to be a part of that change and the light of that compassion not only illuminates in her,
[18:45.100 --> 18:47.200]  it illuminates now in me.
[18:47.200 --> 18:49.800]  That is the power of compassion.
[18:49.800 --> 18:53.500]  The light of Christ shines on all of us.
[18:53.500 --> 18:57.500]  Feel it for yourself and change literally a child's life.
[18:57.500 --> 19:00.600]  Change the world and you also change yourself.
[19:00.600 --> 19:02.500]  You can sponsor a child today.
[19:02.600 --> 19:05.200]  Visit Compassion.com.
[19:05.200 --> 19:07.800]  That's Compassion.com.
[19:33.000 --> 19:35.400]  SpendQuest is a free-to-play social casino.
[19:35.400 --> 19:36.400]  Voidware prohibited.
[19:36.400 --> 19:38.800]  Visit SpendQuest.com for more details.
[19:38.800 --> 19:44.800]  Instead of the don't tread on me, the federal government has now become a boa constrictor.
[19:44.800 --> 19:49.600]  And every time you breathe, it tightens up whenever you exhale.
[19:49.600 --> 19:54.900]  And so it's constant ratcheting down and tightening down to strangle us in every regard.
[19:54.900 --> 19:57.600]  And so what's happening with travel, what's going to happen with airport travel,
[19:57.600 --> 20:00.000]  it's already gotten horrific, but that's not enough.
[20:00.000 --> 20:01.800]  They're not done yet.
[20:01.900 --> 20:03.700]  They've got a lot more to do.
[20:03.700 --> 20:07.400]  And they're beginning right now with these draconian measures at the border,
[20:07.400 --> 20:11.500]  but they will be a part of domestic flight as well.
[20:11.500 --> 20:15.400]  And of course, the other countries are reciprocating.
[20:15.400 --> 20:19.200]  So it's going to be a global crackdown on travel.
[20:19.200 --> 20:22.600]  So that's one of the things that we can look forward to, I guess.
[20:22.600 --> 20:26.900]  But when you look at the documents, not only could you find what was there,
[20:26.900 --> 20:29.900]  but they'd gone to a great deal of trouble, even though they didn't understand
[20:30.000 --> 20:36.400]  they needed to flatten the document, they went to a great deal of trouble
[20:36.400 --> 20:41.400]  to make sure that they stopped any search for Trump.
[20:41.400 --> 20:44.600]  But if you typed in Trump with a space behind it,
[20:44.600 --> 20:47.700]  you could find over 600 times his name was mentioned.
[20:47.700 --> 20:53.000]  These lawyers are very busy over the run-up to the holidays.
[20:53.000 --> 20:54.800]  There must have been a lot of empty stockings.
[20:54.800 --> 20:57.400]  They didn't have time to do any Christmas shopping, right?
[20:57.400 --> 21:01.500]  Because they're all busy trying to protect Trump with these documents.
[21:01.500 --> 21:05.700]  So he also tweets out to Democrats for Christmas,
[21:05.700 --> 21:10.400]  enjoy what may be your last Merry Christmas.
[21:10.400 --> 21:15.100]  Merry Christmas to all, including the many sleazebags who loved Jeffrey Epstein,
[21:15.100 --> 21:19.200]  gave him bundles of money, went to the island, attended his parties,
[21:19.200 --> 21:22.000]  and thought he was the greatest guy on earth.
[21:22.000 --> 21:25.400]  Are you talking about yourself, Trump?
[21:25.400 --> 21:28.000]  I mean, you thought he was the greatest guy on earth for 15 years.
[21:28.000 --> 21:29.500]  Give me a break.
[21:29.500 --> 21:32.200]  We're supposed to pretend that you weren't there.
[21:32.200 --> 21:36.600]  And of course, that'll work with the alternative media covering for Trump
[21:36.600 --> 21:42.200]  and the delusional Trump supporters, as if he didn't know,
[21:42.200 --> 21:46.100]  as if he didn't party with Epstein all the time.
[21:46.100 --> 21:49.800]  So when the names get brought out,
[21:49.800 --> 21:54.700]  the ongoing radical left witch hunt plus one low-life Republican, Massey,
[21:54.800 --> 21:56.500]  and it's revealed that they're all Democrats,
[21:56.500 --> 21:58.500]  there will be a lot of explaining to do,
[21:58.500 --> 22:00.800]  much like there was when it was made public
[22:00.800 --> 22:04.600]  that the Russian hoax was a fictitious story.
[22:04.600 --> 22:08.200]  Well, that's the strategy.
[22:08.200 --> 22:10.900]  Let's release as much information as we can about the Democrats,
[22:10.900 --> 22:13.800]  about Bill Clinton and so forth, right?
[22:13.800 --> 22:16.800]  And so it is a bait and switch.
[22:16.800 --> 22:19.200]  The president issued a separate Christmas message
[22:19.200 --> 22:22.400]  lashing out his political enemies on Christmas Eve.
[22:22.400 --> 22:24.800]  He said, we no longer look at all the accomplishments that we've done.
[22:24.800 --> 22:29.600]  We no longer have open borders like we did his entire four years.
[22:29.600 --> 22:35.000]  We no longer have men and women's sports or transgender for everyone.
[22:35.000 --> 22:41.800]  Well, again, he was the guy who wanted to bring in trannies for his beauty pageant.
[22:41.800 --> 22:45.700]  He was the first one who had a beauty pageant who wanted to have a tranny in it.
[22:45.700 --> 22:48.400]  Yeah, pretend that you're something else, Trump.
[22:48.400 --> 22:52.700]  And he says in no inflation, again, he just flat out lies.
[22:52.700 --> 22:54.600]  And you know that he's lying.
[22:54.600 --> 23:02.500]  So let's not forget what was happening five years ago in the Christmas message.
[23:02.500 --> 23:04.800]  And Brian Shulhovey put this out.
[23:04.800 --> 23:09.800]  This is Trump's Christmas message for 2020.
[23:09.800 --> 23:15.700]  The vaccine is the greatest medical miracle and we can never let people forget.
[23:15.800 --> 23:21.200]  And Brian Shulhovey at healthimpact.com says, yeah, let's not forget.
[23:21.200 --> 23:23.100]  And I don't want you to forget either.
[23:23.100 --> 23:28.800]  The president and I want to wish every American a very Merry Christmas.
[23:28.800 --> 23:33.600]  As you know, this Christmas is different than years past.
[23:33.600 --> 23:38.100]  We are battling a global pandemic that has affected all of us.
[23:38.100 --> 23:41.300]  Brilliant scientists have developed treatments.
[23:41.300 --> 23:43.600]  Is this the White House or Green Acres?
[23:43.600 --> 23:47.500]  We are delivering millions of doses of a safe and effective vaccine.
[23:47.500 --> 23:48.600]  Yeah, look at all the people that died.
[23:48.600 --> 23:54.300]  That will soon end this terrible pandemic and save millions and millions of lives.
[23:54.300 --> 23:59.400]  We're grateful for all of the scientists, researchers, manufacturing workers,
[23:59.400 --> 24:04.900]  and service members who have worked tirelessly to make this breakthrough possible.
[24:04.900 --> 24:07.300]  It is truly a Christmas miracle.
[24:07.300 --> 24:13.200]  Over and over again, we were told it would be impossible to deliver a vaccine by the end of the year.
[24:13.200 --> 24:16.900]  All of the experts said absolutely unthinkable.
[24:16.900 --> 24:18.700]  Trump is exaggerating.
[24:18.700 --> 24:19.900]  It can't happen.
[24:19.900 --> 24:23.000]  And we did it long before the end of the year.
[24:23.000 --> 24:27.700]  They said it would take a medical miracle and that's exactly what it is.
[24:27.700 --> 24:29.800]  Years from now, they'll be talking about it.
[24:29.800 --> 24:34.400]  They'll be talking about this great, great thing that we did with the vaccines.
[24:34.400 --> 24:39.500]  A truly unprecedented, amazing medical miracle.
[24:39.500 --> 24:40.500]  Yeah, he executed it.
[24:40.500 --> 24:43.000]  The vaccine takes up to 10 years.
[24:43.000 --> 24:48.500]  Thanks to Operation Warp Speed, we developed the vaccine in just nine months.
[24:48.500 --> 24:55.600]  We've already begun a nationwide vaccination program and we're sending the vaccine all over the world.
[24:55.600 --> 25:00.800]  The world will benefit, will benefit, and everybody's calling to thank me.
[25:00.800 --> 25:09.300]  Our most vulnerable citizens are already receiving the vaccine and millions of doses are quickly being shipped all across our country.
[25:09.300 --> 25:17.600]  By early next year, the vaccine will be available to every American and shortly thereafter, it will be delivered worldwide.
[25:17.600 --> 25:20.400]  We will end the pandemic once and for all.
[25:20.400 --> 25:25.900]  This is one of the most extraordinary scientific, industrial, and medical feats in history.
[25:25.900 --> 25:27.800]  Everybody has it as that.
[25:27.800 --> 25:29.900]  That's what they're marketed down as.
[25:29.900 --> 25:35.600]  And we can never let people forget where it came from and how it came.
[25:35.600 --> 25:39.900]  We're very proud to be honored and all of the people that work so hard on it.
[25:39.900 --> 25:43.800]  We have to be remembered for what's been done.
[25:43.800 --> 25:47.300]  Yeah, I want you remembered, you son of a...
[25:47.300 --> 25:49.300]  I can't believe that people let this thing go.
[25:49.300 --> 25:56.200]  Great job from Brian Shalhavi putting up picture after picture after picture of people who died, people who have been amputated.
[25:56.200 --> 26:04.200]  As Jack Lawson pointed out, his mother-in-law got the shots, multiple ones, started having blood clots all over her body.
[26:04.300 --> 26:08.400]  And you saw the one picture of the lady there with the legs amputated.
[26:08.400 --> 26:15.300]  His mother-in-law has had both legs, both arms amputated now with this stuff and it keeps going.
[26:15.300 --> 26:18.700]  It's just unbelievable, the criminality that's there.
[26:18.700 --> 26:24.400]  And this is all made possible, folks, by an information war.
[26:24.400 --> 26:30.700]  An information war that was conducted by the people who call themselves Infowars and others like them.
[26:30.700 --> 26:39.300]  The alternative media supporting Trump and continuing to support him and pushing people away from the truth about what this vaccine really was.
[26:39.300 --> 26:43.200]  That's why it's a very hopeful sign that at least in the Netherlands...
[26:43.200 --> 26:57.800]  And the people in the Netherlands, I think, were awakened when Mark Rutte, the Prime Minister, decided that he was going to destroy the food supply of the most productive agricultural country in Europe, the Netherlands.
[26:57.800 --> 27:06.800]  Single-handedly, he's going to destroy all that. He's going to turn it over to Bill Gates and the picnic food delivery system that's run by his in-laws.
[27:06.800 --> 27:11.000]  And it woke people up. They created a new political party. They got rid of him.
[27:11.000 --> 27:17.800]  Where did he go? NATO. Because this is a military operation against us. Always was.
[27:17.800 --> 27:24.700]  Hey, it's Ben Ferguson and I want to be honest with you for a second about how an act of compassion really feels.
[27:24.700 --> 27:31.700]  A couple of years ago, I made the choice to partner with an amazing organization called Compassion International.
[27:31.700 --> 27:35.800]  Why? Because I wanted to sponsor a child in need.
[27:35.800 --> 27:43.500]  It was a nice idea, sure, but I had no idea just how much that simple act would change my life as well.
[27:43.500 --> 27:48.700]  I sponsored Nadia and got to watch her life change right in front of my eyes.
[27:48.700 --> 27:58.400]  Going from starving literally alone on the streets to getting the health care and education she needs to reach her God given full potential.
[27:58.400 --> 28:06.600]  I got to be a part of that change and the light of that compassion not only illuminates in her, it illuminates now in me.
[28:06.600 --> 28:12.800]  That is the power of compassion. The light of Christ shines on all of us.
[28:12.800 --> 28:19.900]  Feel it for yourself and change literally a child's life. Change the world and you also change yourself.

[28:58.000 --> 29:05.600]  Call it Operation Warp Speed. Delivered by the military. Goes worldwide. It is a global depopulation program.
[29:06.300 --> 29:08.400]  That's what Operation Warp Speed is.
[29:08.400 --> 29:14.400]  And it's so important that we not fall for the lies that said that it was a real pandemic.
[29:14.400 --> 29:17.700]  The lies that said that it was released by gain of function.
[29:17.700 --> 29:24.500]  And Trump is out there trying to push that narrative as well as all the Trump media still pushing that narrative.
[29:24.500 --> 29:29.500]  And the other side is pushing this as well because it gives them an alibi.
[29:29.500 --> 29:33.800]  Oh, we did the best we could. But, you know, this is something that the Chinese did to us.
[29:33.800 --> 29:35.900]  No, it was done by DARPA and others.
[29:35.900 --> 29:39.100]  There's a long history of them developing this stuff.
[29:39.100 --> 29:48.700]  A long history of them practicing and planning exactly how they're going to lock down people and make the vaccine a requirement for real life.
[29:48.700 --> 29:53.100]  So this whole thing was a military execution.
[29:53.100 --> 29:57.300]  And, you know, we have one of the stories that we've got today as we look at the wars.
[29:57.300 --> 30:01.900]  You've got an American general who is head of NORTHCOM.
[30:01.900 --> 30:08.000]  He was asked point blank if he was given orders to attack people in America, if he would do it.
[30:08.000 --> 30:11.100]  He doesn't care about a declaration of war.
[30:11.100 --> 30:13.400]  He doesn't care about Posse Comitatus or the rest of it.
[30:13.400 --> 30:16.600]  Well, if I was given orders, yeah, I'd do it.
[30:16.600 --> 30:20.000]  Yeah, we noticed. But let me tell you, it's already been done.
[30:20.000 --> 30:23.600]  This is not a hypothetical. It's already been done by Trump.
[30:23.600 --> 30:25.400]  And Trump will do it again.
[30:25.400 --> 30:29.200]  He'll go in and he'll say, well, you know, these gangs in Chicago or whatever.
[30:29.200 --> 30:32.700]  They are this is a terrorist threat to us.
[30:32.700 --> 30:36.200]  They're narco terrorists because they're selling drugs for the drug war.
[30:36.200 --> 30:38.900]  And I can see him using the military.
[30:38.900 --> 30:45.800]  And not only that, but, you know, when you look at what is happening in Central and South America, if he does make moves against the cartels in those areas,
[30:45.800 --> 30:52.100]  I expect them to come in with some reprisals as they have done in their own countries.
[30:52.100 --> 31:01.600]  And the first time they kill one person who is in law enforcement or one local or federal agent,
[31:01.600 --> 31:04.600]  then that's going to be open warfare inside our own country.
[31:04.600 --> 31:06.100]  That's what's coming to us.
[31:06.100 --> 31:14.500]  And it's going to come to us from the person who already did it as a poisoner, the poisoner in chief.
[31:14.500 --> 31:20.400]  So as Marshall Harvey said, today is the first Christmas day in Trump's second term as president.
[31:20.400 --> 31:29.900]  That speech that he did there and put out and he annotated it with the pictures of people who had been killed or maimed.
[31:29.900 --> 31:38.400]  That was his last Christmas address just before he left office the first term.
[31:38.400 --> 31:43.000]  The presidential prayer team published the presidential message for Christmas.
[31:43.000 --> 31:54.300]  And it said, together we must strive to foster a culture of deeper understanding and respect, traits that exemplify the teachings of Christ.
[31:54.300 --> 31:59.500]  Well, I mean, clearly his prayer team doesn't understand what Christmas is about at all.
[31:59.500 --> 32:01.700]  It's not about making us better people.
[32:01.700 --> 32:04.700]  That's something that flows out of it.
[32:04.700 --> 32:07.300]  But it's about peace between God and man.
[32:07.300 --> 32:11.300]  That's why Christ came and coordinated.
[32:11.300 --> 32:15.900]  You can't have the fruit without the root of Christ.
[32:15.900 --> 32:21.000]  So he says, I'm not sure who actually wrote that, but Trump himself was on Truth Social saying,
[32:21.000 --> 32:25.500]  Merry Christmas to all, including the radical left scum doing everything possible to destroy our country.
[32:25.500 --> 32:26.800]  And, you know, enjoy this.
[32:26.800 --> 32:29.600]  It's your last Christmas type of thing.
[32:29.600 --> 32:33.400]  So he said, let's take a look at Trump's last Christmas message.
[32:33.400 --> 32:40.000]  And he doesn't want people to ever forget where that poison came from.
[32:40.000 --> 32:47.100]  Except they have forgotten and they have walked away and there is no justice.
[32:47.100 --> 32:50.100]  So to honor Trump's Christmas message to Americans in 2020,
[32:50.100 --> 33:00.100]  I've created a short two and a half minute video to do what Trump requested in his Christmas message and remind people to never forget where the shots came from.
[33:00.100 --> 33:03.000]  I've done my best to remind people that they came from Trump.
[33:03.000 --> 33:07.300]  I've done my best to give him credit for being the father of the vaccine.
[33:07.300 --> 33:12.500]  And when I call it the Trump shot, you won't believe the amount of hate I get from people.
[33:12.500 --> 33:18.600]  They viscerally hate me because I call out this murderer, Donald Trump.
[33:18.600 --> 33:23.500]  Murderer, thief, pirate, criminal, tyrant, you name it.
[33:23.500 --> 33:28.000]  He fits the bill.
[33:28.000 --> 33:32.900]  So yeah, father of the vaccine and his Trump miracle.
[33:32.900 --> 33:37.200]  Well, we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.
[33:37.200 --> 33:42.700]  And I'm still going to play some Christmas music these next couple of days here as we end the week here.
[33:42.700 --> 33:43.700]  We'll be right back.
[34:32.900 --> 34:59.100]  You're listening to the David Knight Show.
[35:32.900 --> 35:57.400]  And now the David Knight Show.
[35:57.400 --> 36:01.900]  APS radio delivers multiple channels of music right to your mobile device.
[36:01.900 --> 36:06.900]  Get the APS radio app today and listen wherever you go.
[36:06.900 --> 36:09.400]  Let's continue on with this pharmaceutical stuff.
[36:09.400 --> 36:12.800]  We don't want to forget Trump's role in all this stuff.
[36:12.800 --> 36:15.900]  Bill Gates, Pfizer's CEO, Albert Borla.
[36:15.900 --> 36:18.100]  Of course, now they're business partners.
[36:18.100 --> 36:20.400]  Isn't that interesting?
[36:20.400 --> 36:26.900]  Trump introduces Albert Borla about their new partnership to make money killing people.
[36:26.900 --> 36:30.100]  And the crowd boo's Albert Borla.
[36:30.100 --> 36:31.200]  Trump just shoves it off.
[36:31.200 --> 36:37.200]  Yeah, you guys you love me enough that you'll forget that I am partnered with this guy.
[36:37.200 --> 36:38.400]  Hey, it's Ben Ferguson.
[36:38.400 --> 36:41.600]  And I want you to pause what you're doing for just one minute.
[36:41.600 --> 36:44.400]  And I want you to hear about Alejandra.
[36:44.400 --> 36:50.400]  She lives in a remote community with very few resources and little to no health care.
[36:50.400 --> 37:00.100]  So when Alejandra gets sick, her parents have no real options, no doctors in their community and no money for real medical care.
[37:00.200 --> 37:02.900]  By the third day, her body was shutting down.
[37:02.900 --> 37:09.100]  She woke up and just long enough to tell her mom, I can't take the pain anymore.
[37:09.100 --> 37:10.900]  I can't keep going.
[37:10.900 --> 37:17.500]  Her parents drove hours to find a doctor who tried everything, but she needed a private hospital.
[37:17.500 --> 37:21.000]  And that was impossible for her family to afford.
[37:21.000 --> 37:24.800]  And that is when Compassion International stepped in.
[37:24.800 --> 37:31.100]  Now, through compassion, Alejandra was treated and against all odds, she survived.
[37:31.100 --> 37:35.900]  She lived because someone just like you took action right now.
[37:35.900 --> 37:42.700]  Unfortunately, there are children just like Alejandra who won't survive unless someone like you steps in.
[37:42.700 --> 37:49.500]  Compassion International partners with local churches, providing children with the support that they need.
[37:49.600 --> 37:57.600]  Critical medical care plus food, education and the hope of the gospel, all in Jesus' name.
[37:57.600 --> 38:01.400]  So help a child just like Alejandra today.
[38:01.400 --> 38:03.900]  You can visit Compassion.com.
[38:03.900 --> 38:06.700]  That's Compassion.com.
[38:06.700 --> 38:08.700]  What's going on, Texas? It's Bluff here.

[38:37.000 --> 38:43.500]  Gates and Borla have been ordered to testify in a Dutch COVID vaccine injury lawsuit.
[38:43.500 --> 38:50.200]  It relates to a lawsuit filed in 2023, seven people injured by the COVID-19 vaccines, so-called.
[38:50.200 --> 38:52.700]  One of the victims has since died.
[38:52.700 --> 39:00.400]  The lawsuit centers around the question of whether the COVID-19 injections are a bioweapon.
[39:00.400 --> 39:04.000]  They are. That's what I've said all along.
[39:04.100 --> 39:12.500]  The suit names 15 other defendants, including former Dutch Prime Minister and current NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte,
[39:12.500 --> 39:18.500]  the Dutch state, several Dutch public health officials and journalists.
[39:18.500 --> 39:23.500]  Defendants are accused of misleading victims about the safety and the efficacy of the vaccines.
[39:23.500 --> 39:30.300]  It remains to be seen whether the defendants will comply with the court's order and appear this next year in a hearing.
[39:30.300 --> 39:35.900]  A second lawsuit was filed in March by three COVID-19 injury victims in the Netherlands,
[39:35.900 --> 39:40.700]  presenting a similar set of allegations and names the same defendants.
[39:40.700 --> 39:43.800]  Again, the Dutch are leading the way in this stuff.
[39:43.800 --> 39:54.400]  This is the only country in which there's been any pushback against this massive conspiracy to commit mass murder by government
[39:54.400 --> 39:57.200]  and to usher in a new technocracy.
[39:57.200 --> 39:59.300]  Travel permits for everything.
[39:59.300 --> 40:03.800]  Universal basic income because we're going to shut down your business.
[40:03.800 --> 40:09.800]  It's just amazing to me that everybody just took this, except the Dutch, who are now awake, I think, because of Mark Rutte
[40:09.800 --> 40:11.600]  and because of the attacks on the farms.
[40:11.600 --> 40:19.300]  Interesting thing is, the expert witnesses, the very first one mentioned in this article from Children's Health Defense is Katherine Austin Fitz.
[40:19.300 --> 40:21.500]  Good for her. Good for her.
[40:21.600 --> 40:26.800]  Solari Report, former Assistant Secretary of HUD.
[40:26.800 --> 40:31.700]  Sasha Latopova, former Pharmaceutical Research and Development Executive.
[40:31.700 --> 40:38.900]  Joseph Sasson, a psychotherapist who's litigating to prohibit the mRNA vaccines in Florida.
[40:38.900 --> 40:43.300]  And Katherine Watt, who I don't know, researcher in Paralegal.
[40:43.300 --> 40:54.400]  Michael Yaden, one of my heroes, a pharmacologist, former Vice President of Pfizer's Allergy and Respiratory Research Unit.
[40:54.400 --> 40:59.400]  He's been very explicit for the longest time that this is a deliberate move.
[40:59.400 --> 41:01.200]  These things don't just happen.
[41:01.200 --> 41:02.400]  He said this was deliberate.
[41:02.400 --> 41:07.100]  They know every ingredient that they put in and you look at these ingredients and how harmful they are.
[41:07.100 --> 41:08.800]  He said this is deliberate.
[41:08.800 --> 41:10.300]  This was a poisoning.
[41:10.400 --> 41:11.700]  He's made the case. It's a bioweapon.
[41:11.700 --> 41:16.200]  I played a clip for you last week of Michael Yaden being very clear about this.
[41:16.200 --> 41:17.800]  Good for him.
[41:17.800 --> 41:24.500]  In October 2024, the district court, one district court rejected Gates' motion to dismiss the case,
[41:24.500 --> 41:30.600]  ruling that it has jurisdiction over him and ordering him to pay defendants legal fees.
[41:30.600 --> 41:38.100]  In June 2025, the plaintiffs increased their claims against defendants and petitioned the court to accept the expert witness testimony
[41:38.100 --> 41:40.300]  that has been recorded.
[41:40.300 --> 41:50.200]  They're trying to get them in court to testify in person because it's more powerful than giving a video deposition.
[41:50.200 --> 42:01.400]  But the expert witnesses have now released a series of YouTube videos presenting their evidence and talking about what they would say given a chance.
[42:01.400 --> 42:10.600]  So the lawyer for them, Stassen is his name, submitted written statements and recorded video statements by the expert witnesses to the district court.
[42:10.600 --> 42:13.100]  The second lawsuit kicked off in March.
[42:13.100 --> 42:20.000]  In August, the district court denied the application, saying that the defendants lacked standing.
[42:20.000 --> 42:26.900]  In September, the lawyer filed an appeal alleging that the court did not afford the plaintiffs a fair trial in violation of the European
[42:27.000 --> 42:32.600]  Commission on Human Rights and calling on the court to allow the expert witnesses to testify in court.
[42:32.600 --> 42:39.600]  During last week's public conference, the lawyer Stassen said is the plaintiffs and the broader public, quote,
[42:39.600 --> 42:45.200]  are victims of people who unjustly suppress the truth.
[42:45.200 --> 42:48.500]  That's what the cancellation and the shadow banning was all about.
[42:48.600 --> 43:00.800]  As a matter of fact, I put up some stuff and I saw that maybe like 100 people saw the post I put up when I'm supposed to have about 140,000 followers.
[43:00.800 --> 43:08.500]  And so I asked Grok itself, I said, so how do I ask questions about shadow banning?
[43:08.500 --> 43:15.200]  He said, well, Twitter or X says it doesn't shadow ban, but Grok says, but it does.
[43:15.200 --> 43:17.100]  And here's how you test it.
[43:17.100 --> 43:19.700]  And yes, it is severely shadow banned.
[43:19.700 --> 43:24.300]  You know, first I gave it the stats and it says, well, that is highly unusual.
[43:24.300 --> 43:25.600]  You know, it might be shadow banned.
[43:25.600 --> 43:27.200]  Here's how you can test it.
[43:27.200 --> 43:28.400]  I did test it.
[43:28.400 --> 43:30.200]  It's still being suppressed.
[43:30.200 --> 43:32.200]  Nothing is being changed.
[43:32.200 --> 43:34.100]  The suppression of the truth.
[43:34.100 --> 43:36.000]  My clients were misled.
[43:36.000 --> 43:40.700]  Had they not been misled, they would have not gotten the COVID-19 shot.
[43:40.700 --> 43:47.200]  A shot that the suppressors of the truth still tout as safe and effective to this day.
[43:47.200 --> 43:50.800]  And that is Albert Bordel's reply to this lawsuit.
[43:50.800 --> 43:56.700]  Stassen also noted that his efforts to have the Dutch courts accept expert witness in person testimony.
[43:56.700 --> 44:09.100]  He said the witnesses tend to present evidence showing that the COVID-19 shots are indistinguishable from bioweapons that have no health benefits whatsoever.
[44:09.200 --> 44:12.200]  They're neither safe nor effective.
[44:12.200 --> 44:20.200]  They're released in the U.S. under emergency authorization by a Trump administration executive.
[44:20.200 --> 44:25.000]  All these guys came from and went back to Big Farm, all the people in Trump's administration.
[44:25.000 --> 44:26.500]  He had two FDA directors.
[44:26.500 --> 44:28.300]  One went back to one went to Pfizer.
[44:28.300 --> 44:29.900]  The other one went to Moderna.
[44:29.900 --> 44:33.000]  His HHS director came from Eli Lilly.
[44:33.000 --> 44:38.700]  He was the one who first declared a pandemic when there weren't any cases even that they can allege.
[44:38.700 --> 44:42.600]  I think there's three people that they alleged had COVID-19.
[44:42.600 --> 44:45.100]  That's not a pandemic.
[44:45.100 --> 44:50.500]  Three cases in all of the United States and nobody had died.
[44:50.500 --> 44:57.200]  And so, you know, what was it with this emergency authorization and Trump pushing this thing through?
[44:57.200 --> 44:59.600]  He removed all the tests.
[44:59.600 --> 45:01.800]  He removed any inspection of this.
[45:01.800 --> 45:03.600]  He just rushed this thing through.
[45:03.600 --> 45:05.500]  That's how he got it through so fast.
[45:05.500 --> 45:07.800]  That's not a feature.
[45:07.800 --> 45:09.500]  That's a bug.
[45:09.500 --> 45:17.200]  How in the world does he get away with bragging about the fact that he shut down all testing and all regulation of this stuff?
[45:17.200 --> 45:22.100]  And they have shut down and lied about the people that have been harmed by it.
[45:22.100 --> 45:30.400]  So by design, they were intended to cause the damage that's described in the package insert as reported side effects.
[45:30.400 --> 45:37.200]  Things like a side effect like sudden death, heart failure, cancer, the most horrific diseases.
[45:37.200 --> 45:41.000]  A key component of the great reset is what this was.
[45:41.000 --> 45:47.300]  It was a military project in which NATO plays a significant role.
[45:47.300 --> 45:51.800]  That's Mark Ruta and why they brought him in there.
[45:51.800 --> 45:53.700]  Of course, it was a military project.
[45:53.700 --> 45:59.400]  As I've said over and over again, it was the other shoe to drop from the inside job of 9-11.
[45:59.500 --> 46:07.500]  It was two months before 9-11 that they ran their first germ game, Dark Winter, and they practiced it for 20 years.
[46:07.500 --> 46:11.800]  They rolled the stuff out with the military taking the lead.
[46:11.800 --> 46:15.000]  It was a military mass murder.
[46:15.000 --> 46:23.000]  Senzon told the defender that he and other expert witnesses are advocating to testify in court as this can be more influential than written testimony.
[46:23.000 --> 46:30.200]  He said he intends to provide evidence that the COVID-19 vaccine, so-called vaccines, are bioweapons,
[46:30.200 --> 46:38.400]  violating the Biological Weapons Convention and the Biological Weapons and Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989,
[46:38.400 --> 46:47.100]  which was authored by the late Francis Boyle Ph.D., an expert witness in the original lawsuit who died in January.
[46:47.100 --> 46:57.900]  I guess if he was an expert witness in this, I guess he finally came around to the understanding that this is a bioweapon.
[46:57.900 --> 47:04.400]  When I was pushing back on this at Infowars and Alex was pushing that the pandemic was real,
[47:04.400 --> 47:10.600]  that the vaccines were nothing but sugar water and you could take it for Trump.
[47:10.600 --> 47:14.900]  Yeah, of course, it's going to have some adjuvants in it, but you can take this. Do it for Trump.
[47:14.900 --> 47:19.800]  And so Alex had me on. I didn't realize that Alex was doing that at the time.
[47:19.800 --> 47:25.300]  And I didn't know that this was going to be set up as a faux debate between me and Francis Boyle.
[47:25.300 --> 47:33.700]  Francis Boyle believing and telling people at the time that the COVID-19 thing was a lab leak and that it was a real pandemic.
[47:33.700 --> 47:36.200]  I pushed back against that. I haven't gone back.
[47:36.200 --> 47:39.500]  Ryan sent me a link to the actual program.
[47:39.600 --> 47:43.600]  You can still find it at the Internet at the Infowars archives.
[47:43.600 --> 47:47.100]  But I haven't gone back and I don't like watching myself.
[47:47.100 --> 47:50.100]  And I'm sure if I watched, I'd be very disappointed in what I did.
[47:50.100 --> 47:54.200]  I don't know that I made a good case for it. I'm not a great debater.
[47:54.200 --> 47:59.300]  I just was right. And I'm not saying that to pat myself on the back.
[47:59.300 --> 48:06.700]  I say it with sadness because I look at the people who have been harmed by this.
[48:06.700 --> 48:09.900]  And I just wish we could have gotten this information out.
[48:09.900 --> 48:12.400]  I wish I could have done a better job.
[48:17.400 --> 48:21.100]  It's difficult when it's, first of all, I didn't know that this was coming up.
[48:21.100 --> 48:23.900]  It's like when he says, hey, Alex would like to come and do this show.
[48:23.900 --> 48:28.200]  So I walk in cold with this stuff. I don't know this is going to be a debate.
[48:28.200 --> 48:33.700]  It's not really a debate when it's two against one and the moderator's got his thumb on the scale.
[48:33.700 --> 48:39.900]  But now we see that he was an expert witness to say that it was a bio weapon.
[48:39.900 --> 48:41.700]  Well, good.
[48:41.700 --> 48:46.900]  Sasha Lata-Povit told the Defender that the lawsuits are the only ones worldwide
[48:46.900 --> 48:52.900]  that alleged that COVID was not a public health event, but a government project.
[48:52.900 --> 48:56.100]  That's right. Going back to Dark Winter.
[48:56.100 --> 49:01.100]  The resulted in mass casualty that can be characterized as genocide
[49:01.100 --> 49:07.600]  or more broadly as democide, death by government of the population.
[49:07.600 --> 49:12.800]  In her statement, Lata-Povit alleged the military governance and contracts
[49:12.800 --> 49:18.300]  were used to develop, procure, deliver, distribute these shots all over the world
[49:18.300 --> 49:24.100]  and to bypass standard regulatory oversight procedures for pharmaceutical products.
[49:24.100 --> 49:25.500]  Yeah, you know, that's the thing.
[49:25.500 --> 49:29.000]  The alt media is still pushing this China lab leak.
[49:29.000 --> 49:41.000]  I had some guy respond to the Monster Jab movie clip that we did and said,
[49:41.000 --> 49:44.200]  you're pathetic trying to pat yourself on the back for being right.
[49:44.200 --> 49:45.900]  It's like, no, pal.
[49:45.900 --> 49:48.600]  There's people who really believe that it was a real pandemic.
[49:48.600 --> 49:51.000]  There's people who really believe that it leaked out of the lab.
[49:51.000 --> 49:55.800]  There's people who really believe that the government did the best job that it could.
[49:55.800 --> 50:01.200]  I'm simply trying in a satire to tell people that is not the case.
[50:01.200 --> 50:05.800]  We got a lot of criminal conspirators who did this to people
[50:05.800 --> 50:14.000]  and they're going to do it again if they don't answer for this stuff.
[50:14.000 --> 50:16.000]  They're already plotting it.
[50:16.000 --> 50:19.700]  There is substantial evidence of noncompliance with good manufacturing practices,
[50:19.700 --> 50:23.800]  she said, which is the law that governs pharmaceutical purity and honesty
[50:23.800 --> 50:25.100]  and labeling all over the world.
[50:25.100 --> 50:28.700]  Well, of course, they knew that and I reported at the time Stat News,
[50:28.700 --> 50:31.300]  which is a pharmaceutical publication.
[50:31.300 --> 50:35.400]  It's not critical of pharmaceutical industry.
[50:35.400 --> 50:41.000]  And they pointed out that Pfizer was blackmailing three South American countries saying
[50:41.000 --> 50:48.700]  you will give us immunity against unsafe manufacturing processes against negligence,
[50:48.700 --> 50:54.500]  not just on the fact that this is experimental, but you'll give us broad immunity
[50:54.500 --> 51:01.700]  and you'll back it up by pledging assets in other countries, embassies and other things like that.
[51:01.700 --> 51:06.500]  And we already see some countries who are up against financial hardship selling their embassies
[51:06.500 --> 51:10.500]  because that's property and real estate in other countries that they can sell.
[51:10.500 --> 51:14.300]  So Pfizer demanded that as protection.
[51:14.300 --> 51:18.300]  One of the South American countries went along with it.
[51:18.300 --> 51:21.800]  The other two did not and they went public with it.
[51:21.800 --> 51:25.000]  If I remember correctly, I think it was Argentina and Brazil.
[51:25.000 --> 51:31.400]  According to Catherine Austin Fitts, global central banks and financial institutions were involved in these efforts.
[51:31.400 --> 51:40.000]  She said the pandemic represented an egregious misuse of health care policies to implement economic and political agendas.
[51:40.000 --> 51:41.500]  That's right.
[51:41.500 --> 51:47.000]  With the goal of engineering a great reset of the global financial system.
[51:47.000 --> 51:51.900]  And we are still suffering the consequences of that.
[51:51.900 --> 51:59.900]  Yaden said that since 2020, he's attempted to warn the public that the COVID-19 vaccines were designed to lower the fertility rate
[51:59.900 --> 52:03.900]  and people's health and to reduce population.
[52:03.900 --> 52:07.200]  He said that even though he was censored on social media for making such comments,
[52:07.200 --> 52:13.900]  he said, this is what I have watched happen around me for five years.
[52:13.900 --> 52:23.800]  So several of the defendants, including Borla, Albert Borla, CEO of Pfizer, Mark Ruda, the former prime minister, now head of NATO,
[52:23.800 --> 52:28.400]  and the Dutch state sought to blot the testimony of the plaintiff's expert witnesses.
[52:28.400 --> 52:33.400]  Gates was the only defendant who deferred to the court's judgment on this point.
[52:33.400 --> 52:36.400]  In September, Gates and Borla submitted written statements of defense.
[52:36.400 --> 52:46.900]  In his statement, Gates says he doesn't have any connection or influence over the policies of international bodies such as the World Health Organization.
[52:46.900 --> 52:56.500]  Except it's a matter of record that he gives more than virtually every other country in terms of money to them, except for the U.S.,
[52:56.500 --> 52:59.500]  one of the largest contributors, more than most nations.
[52:59.500 --> 53:02.900]  But he says he doesn't have any influence with them.
[53:02.900 --> 53:08.800]  Albert Borla has maintained that the Trump shot is safe and effective.
[53:08.800 --> 53:10.700]  And of course, Trump continues to cheer him.
[53:10.700 --> 53:12.800]  He's now a business partner of his.
[53:12.800 --> 53:17.400]  And Trump will never admit that this was a bioweapon.
[53:17.400 --> 53:19.600]  He's the father of the bioweapon.
[53:19.600 --> 53:21.600]  He's the father of the lockdown.
[53:21.600 --> 53:24.200]  He's the father of the digital ID.
[53:24.200 --> 53:27.400]  He's the father of universal basic income.
[53:27.400 --> 53:31.900]  Hey, it's Ben Ferguson, and I want you to pause what you're doing for just one minute.
[53:31.900 --> 53:36.100]  And I want you to hear about love, generosity and compassion.
[53:36.100 --> 53:39.300]  We say those words all the time and they sound good.
[53:39.300 --> 53:40.400]  They feel good.
[53:40.400 --> 53:41.900]  But here's the truth.
[53:41.900 --> 53:46.200]  Those words don't mean anything unless they turn into action.
[53:46.200 --> 53:58.600]  And right now, not later today, not tomorrow, there's a child in the world who doesn't know if they'll eat, if they'll have a chance to learn or if there's any hope at all.
[53:58.600 --> 54:02.600]  And while we're all busy, life keeps moving forward.
[54:02.600 --> 54:04.400]  But that child is waiting.
[54:04.400 --> 54:06.400]  This is where you come in.

[55:06.700 --> 55:10.900]  Government program for compensating vaccine injuries is unconstitutional.
[55:10.900 --> 55:13.800]  That is the PREP Act.
[55:13.800 --> 55:23.500]  This is a lawsuit filed in the United States saying that people can't, you know, trying to get compensation for people who have been injured
[55:23.500 --> 55:26.300]  by the Trump bio weapon.
[55:26.300 --> 55:35.400]  Two women with support from Children's Health Defense are suing the government agency that oversees the compensation program for the vaccine injuries.
[55:35.400 --> 55:46.200]  They allege the program violated their constitutional rights by setting eligibility criteria that's so restrictive that neither woman can qualify for compensation.
[55:46.200 --> 55:50.600]  Just remember, the PREP Act was put in by George Bush.
[55:50.700 --> 55:54.600]  Dark Winter happened under George Bush two months before 9-11.
[55:54.600 --> 56:00.900]  The model legislation was put out to states after the anthrax attack that happened one week after it.
[56:00.900 --> 56:05.500]  And then he prepared for all this stuff with a PREP Act.
[56:05.500 --> 56:12.900]  Well, their prepping was to take away anybody getting any compensation for the massive depopulation program that's going to be coming.
[56:12.900 --> 56:14.300]  This is how the Globals operate.
[56:14.300 --> 56:17.500]  They have a very, very long timeline.
[56:17.500 --> 56:21.500]  And of course, that was Republican George W. Bush.
[56:21.500 --> 56:31.900]  Now we've got Republican Donald Trump who executes it and then sets up a corrupt election system to guarantee that he's not going to get reelected.
[56:31.900 --> 56:38.200]  So he can turn it over to the Democrats and make sure that everybody is confused as to what's going on.
[56:38.200 --> 56:45.100]  But if you go back to the 1986 Childhood Vaccine Compensation Act or whatever they called it,
[56:45.100 --> 56:53.700]  but it basically took away your right to get compensation if your child is injured with the pharmaceutical stuff that's there.
[56:53.700 --> 56:55.900]  1986, that was Fauci.
[56:55.900 --> 56:58.100]  But it's also Reagan who signed that in.
[56:58.100 --> 56:59.400]  So we got Reagan.
[56:59.400 --> 57:00.500]  We got Bush.
[57:00.500 --> 57:02.300]  We got Trump.
[57:02.300 --> 57:06.000]  Don't talk to me about Republicans being the lesser of two evils.
[57:06.000 --> 57:07.300]  Come on.
[57:07.300 --> 57:09.100]  Wake up.
[57:09.100 --> 57:11.400]  I've heard that for too long.
[57:11.400 --> 57:16.500]  Lesser of two evils is still evil, but these guys are not necessarily even lesser.
[57:16.500 --> 57:19.600]  They just focus on different evils.
[57:19.600 --> 57:22.200]  That's the difference between the Republicans and the Democrats.
[57:22.200 --> 57:29.200]  They typically have a different evil agenda and they're going to come after you in a different way.
[57:29.200 --> 57:31.400]  But they'll both come in after you.
[57:31.400 --> 57:35.100]  So the claim has to be filed within 12 months after the injury occurred.
[57:35.100 --> 57:39.600]  This is even worse than the pedophile protection that they've got in there with statute limitations.
[57:39.900 --> 57:46.000]  When Jeffrey Epstein or Trump rape a child, they get three years to blow the whistle on them.
[57:46.000 --> 57:48.300]  Of course, that doesn't happen and they know that.
[57:48.300 --> 57:54.300]  But here, many of these people don't know for sure what's going on for 12 months.
[57:54.300 --> 57:56.600]  Strange things are happening to them.
[57:56.600 --> 58:04.300]  And so Ray Flores said the program's definition of serious physical injury is arbitrary.
[58:04.300 --> 58:09.500]  The federal government defines serious physical injury as injuries that are life threatening.
[58:09.500 --> 58:15.100]  They result in permanent impairment of a body function or permanent damage to body structure
[58:15.100 --> 58:21.200]  or require medical or surgical intervention to preclude permanent impairment of the body function
[58:21.200 --> 58:23.500]  or permanent damage of a body structure.
[58:23.500 --> 58:25.800]  And of course, we've seen this happen over and over again with this.
[58:25.800 --> 58:30.200]  And yet, they're not compensating anybody.
[58:30.200 --> 58:36.300]  So these two defendants allege the vaccine caused multiple injuries that have impaired their ability to work and live normal lives.
[58:36.300 --> 58:44.100]  But they say that their injuries fall short of the threshold established by the CICP.
[58:44.100 --> 58:48.700]  It is fundamentally unjust and unconstitutional under the U.S. Constitution
[58:48.700 --> 58:55.900]  for someone to suffer substantial injury and have absolutely no path to recovery or accountability,
[58:55.900 --> 58:59.000]  said Mary Holland of Children's Health Defense.
[58:59.000 --> 59:07.300]  And what makes this worse is that the substantial injury has come to them from the government itself.
[59:07.300 --> 59:09.200]  That's why it's being denied.
[59:09.200 --> 59:15.500]  Potentially millions of people have suffered tremendous harms that the government does not consider to be serious
[59:15.500 --> 59:19.000]  and have been left without any remedy as a result.
[59:19.000 --> 59:23.900]  So this one person, again, you got to get there within 12 months.
[59:23.900 --> 59:33.500]  She saw 105 doctors over two and a half years and substantial painful symptoms.
[59:33.500 --> 59:43.500]  She developed autoimmune disorder, small fiber neuropathy, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome called POTS,
[59:43.500 --> 59:50.700]  amassed cell activation syndrome, tinnitus, heart palpitations, leaving her unable to work.
[59:50.700 --> 59:55.100]  This is after two doses of the Trump poison.
[59:55.100 --> 59:59.800]  The other person received two doses of Moderna's Trump poison in 2021.
[59:59.800 --> 01:00:01.900]  The other one was Pfizer.
[01:00:01.900 --> 01:00:06.400]  The vaccines caused her to develop high blood pressure, tachycardia, pelvic pain,
[01:00:06.400 --> 01:00:12.200]  tremors, leg numbness, weight loss, frequent urination and insomnia.
[01:00:12.300 --> 01:00:15.900]  She had to sit upright for several months.
[01:00:15.900 --> 01:00:18.900]  While the injuries have subsided somewhat from their zenith,
[01:00:18.900 --> 01:00:24.300]  the plaintiffs remain impaired and have no access to any remedy.
[01:00:24.300 --> 01:00:31.000]  Unlike prior cases challenging the PREP Act, the new lawsuit is narrowly pled to show that plaintiffs
[01:00:31.000 --> 01:00:36.800]  and the vast majority of the injured are left without any remedy whatsoever.
[01:00:36.800 --> 01:00:42.800]  The sole exception to the PREP Act's liability shield is willful misconduct,
[01:00:42.800 --> 01:00:48.500]  defined as intentional acts or missions done with knowledge that harm is highly probable.
[01:00:48.500 --> 01:00:56.600]  Well, you know, the first thing that comes to mind is the scientists at Children's Self-Defense
[01:00:56.600 --> 01:01:06.000]  noticed that they were encapsulating this mRNA in PEG, polyethylene glycol.
[01:01:06.000 --> 01:01:07.700]  It's called PEG-ylated.
[01:01:07.700 --> 01:01:14.600]  And they saw that, and the scientists said, a lot of people are allergic to that.
[01:01:14.600 --> 01:01:20.400]  If you inject that into people, that's going to cause them to go into anaphylactic shock.
[01:01:20.400 --> 01:01:24.200]  And contacted the FDA, and the FDA said, we don't care.
[01:01:24.200 --> 01:01:26.400]  Call Pfizer and let them know.
[01:01:26.400 --> 01:01:30.200]  Of course, Pfizer, when he contacted them, they didn't care.
[01:01:30.200 --> 01:01:33.100]  And so, is that willful misconduct?
[01:01:33.200 --> 01:01:39.300]  Does Pfizer know that it is willful misconduct when they are seeking to have extraordinary
[01:01:39.300 --> 01:01:44.600]  legal immunity for the harm that they know they're going to do with these vaccines?
[01:01:44.600 --> 01:01:49.500]  Threatening and blackmailing three countries, because again, this is at the point where
[01:01:49.500 --> 01:01:55.900]  if you don't get the shots globally, all of these governments, and I've said it so many times,
[01:01:55.900 --> 01:02:01.600]  it doesn't matter what political party, it doesn't matter what claimed political philosophy they have.
[01:02:01.600 --> 01:02:03.400]  They were all conspiring together.
[01:02:03.400 --> 01:02:09.100]  This was a global conspiracy of the leaders of every single country.
[01:02:09.100 --> 01:02:12.100]  How can people not be upset with this?
[01:02:12.100 --> 01:02:18.400]  This is so, and people just got tired of the masks and the silly six feet apart rules
[01:02:18.400 --> 01:02:20.900]  and just stopped complying and walked away.
[01:02:20.900 --> 01:02:22.200]  And left it at that.
[01:02:22.200 --> 01:02:26.900]  They didn't come back and say, wait a minute, you know, we need to bring these people to heal.
[01:02:26.900 --> 01:02:27.800]  It's amazing.
[01:02:27.800 --> 01:02:33.600]  However, the PREP Act requires that willful misconduct claims first be adjudicated through CICP,
[01:02:33.600 --> 01:02:40.400]  even though CICP bars claims that fall below its serious physical injury threshold.
[01:02:40.400 --> 01:02:47.700]  So this creates a classic unconstitutional Catch-22 scenario for prospective claimants,
[01:02:47.700 --> 01:02:49.800]  according to the lawsuit.
[01:02:49.800 --> 01:02:52.000]  Yeah, they wargamed this thing out.
[01:02:52.100 --> 01:02:56.400]  Former U.S. Health Secretary under Biden, Javier Becerra,
[01:02:56.400 --> 01:03:02.000]  declared the end of the COVID-19 public health emergencies in May of 2023.
[01:03:02.000 --> 01:03:08.100]  However, the declarations did not end a separate public health emergency
[01:03:08.100 --> 01:03:13.000]  that leaves the Trump shot covered under the PREP Act.
[01:03:13.000 --> 01:03:15.900]  Yeah, they play these little legal games with us, don't they?
[01:03:15.900 --> 01:03:18.300]  And that's what Javier Becerra was.
[01:03:18.300 --> 01:03:19.700]  He was brought in.
[01:03:19.700 --> 01:03:24.900]  Trump had, as his head of HHS, a former CEO, Eli Lilly,
[01:03:24.900 --> 01:03:28.200]  who's going to run this whole thing through and create the vaccine.
[01:03:28.200 --> 01:03:33.900]  Then Biden was the one who was going to push it as a requirement
[01:03:33.900 --> 01:03:38.600]  and was going to make sure that they maintained legal immunity for the pharmaceutical company.
[01:03:38.600 --> 01:03:42.600]  So they brought in a lawyer, nobody with a medical experience,
[01:03:42.600 --> 01:03:47.200]  but they brought in a lawyer, Javier Becerra, to shepherd this thing through,
[01:03:47.200 --> 01:03:51.100]  to use what Trump, this bioweapon that Trump had created
[01:03:51.100 --> 01:03:55.700]  with this pharmaceutical administration.
[01:03:55.700 --> 01:04:02.100]  Just before the end of Biden's term, Becerra extended the PREP Act's liability shield
[01:04:02.100 --> 01:04:08.800]  for COVID-19 countermeasures until December 31st, 2029.
[01:04:08.800 --> 01:04:13.200]  It was the 12th extension since 2020.
[01:04:13.200 --> 01:04:14.300]  As of December...
[01:04:14.300 --> 01:04:18.700]  Hey, it's Ben Ferguson, and I want you to pause what you're doing for just one minute,
[01:04:18.700 --> 01:04:21.500]  and I want you to hear about Alejandra.
[01:04:21.500 --> 01:04:27.500]  She lives in a remote community with very few resources and little to no health care.
[01:04:27.500 --> 01:04:31.600]  So when Alejandra gets sick, her parents have no real options,
[01:04:31.600 --> 01:04:37.200]  no doctors in their community, and no money for real medical care.
[01:04:37.200 --> 01:04:40.000]  By the third day, her body was shutting down.
[01:04:40.000 --> 01:04:43.300]  She woke up, and just long enough to tell her mom,
[01:04:43.300 --> 01:04:46.100]  I can't take the pain anymore.
[01:04:46.100 --> 01:04:47.900]  I can't keep going.
[01:04:47.900 --> 01:04:52.200]  Her parents drove hours to find a doctor who tried everything,
[01:04:52.200 --> 01:04:58.000]  but she needed a private hospital, and that was impossible for her family to afford.
[01:04:58.000 --> 01:05:01.800]  And that is when Compassion International stepped in.
[01:05:01.800 --> 01:05:08.100]  Now, through compassion, Alejandra was treated, and against all odds, she survived.
[01:05:08.100 --> 01:05:12.100]  She lived because someone just like you took action.
[01:05:12.100 --> 01:05:16.000]  Right now, unfortunately, there are children just like Alejandra
[01:05:16.000 --> 01:05:19.700]  who won't survive unless someone like you steps in.
[01:05:19.700 --> 01:05:23.500]  Compassion International partners with local churches,
[01:05:23.500 --> 01:05:26.500]  providing children with the support that they need.
[01:05:26.500 --> 01:05:32.700]  Critical medical care, plus food, education, and the hope of the Gospel.
[01:05:32.700 --> 01:05:34.600]  All in Jesus' name.
[01:05:34.700 --> 01:05:38.400]  So help a child just like Alejandra today.

[01:06:13.600 --> 01:06:20.400]  First, CICP has compensated only 42 vaccine-related claims
[01:06:20.400 --> 01:06:24.000]  out of 14,000 claims filed.
[01:06:24.000 --> 01:06:25.500]  Less than 0.3%.
[01:06:25.500 --> 01:06:27.400]  A lot of people don't know about this.
[01:06:27.400 --> 01:06:28.500]  A lot of people look at it and say,
[01:06:28.500 --> 01:06:29.600]  well, they're not going to pay me.
[01:06:29.600 --> 01:06:32.500]  Why bother?
[01:06:32.500 --> 01:06:36.500]  The median payout for a COVID-19 vaccine injury
[01:06:36.500 --> 01:06:40.800]  has been just over $4,000, $4,100.
[01:06:40.800 --> 01:06:44.500]  However, the average payout is $155,000.
[01:06:44.500 --> 01:06:48.800]  That is skewed by two unusually large payouts.
[01:06:48.800 --> 01:06:51.400]  Without those two large payouts, the average compensation
[01:06:51.400 --> 01:06:55.800]  amount would fall to $5,100.
[01:06:55.900 --> 01:07:00.500]  And when I look at this, I think about another Republican,
[01:07:00.500 --> 01:07:02.500]  Mike DeWine, the governor of Ohio.
[01:07:02.500 --> 01:07:05.300]  He's the one who came up with the million-dollar vaccine
[01:07:05.300 --> 01:07:07.400]  lottery.
[01:07:07.400 --> 01:07:09.500]  Isn't that amazing?
[01:07:09.500 --> 01:07:12.600]  So there's never been a successful challenge
[01:07:12.600 --> 01:07:14.200]  to the CICP.
[01:07:14.200 --> 01:07:16.200]  So we'll see what happens with it.
[01:07:16.200 --> 01:07:18.400]  Meanwhile, Rod Snyder is criticized
[01:07:18.400 --> 01:07:23.700]  by a left-wing mediaite because he brags that he beat Gavin
[01:07:23.700 --> 01:07:25.900]  Newsom's vaccine rules.
[01:07:25.900 --> 01:07:28.000]  Newsom put in a vaccine rule saying,
[01:07:28.000 --> 01:07:29.600]  you're not going to have any concerts
[01:07:29.600 --> 01:07:33.000]  unless you've got less than 1,000 people.
[01:07:33.000 --> 01:07:35.500]  He says, OK, well, we'll have 999.
[01:07:35.500 --> 01:07:39.500]  That way, nobody gets sick, right?
[01:07:39.500 --> 01:07:41.900]  Yeah, it's interesting.
[01:07:41.900 --> 01:07:44.800]  Mediaite criticizes him for this.
[01:07:44.800 --> 01:07:49.600]  The liberals hate Trump, but they love his bioweapon.
[01:07:49.600 --> 01:07:52.400]  The MAGA people hate the bioweapon,
[01:07:52.400 --> 01:07:56.600]  but they love Trump, who brags about being the father of it.
[01:07:56.600 --> 01:08:01.300]  So I say, America has gone mad, M-A-D,
[01:08:01.300 --> 01:08:05.000]  make America double-think.
[01:08:05.000 --> 01:08:07.300]  They can't, neither the left nor the right,
[01:08:07.300 --> 01:08:11.000]  can connect the dots on any of this stuff.
[01:08:11.000 --> 01:08:15.900]  Rob Snyder said he beat Newsom's COVID-19 check requirements
[01:08:15.900 --> 01:08:19.000]  by lowering his ticket sales to 999
[01:08:19.000 --> 01:08:20.900]  to avoid the state mandate that you
[01:08:20.900 --> 01:08:25.900]  have to check people's vaccine cards to come to an event.
[01:08:25.900 --> 01:08:30.700]  On a December 20th interview, he said, in California,
[01:08:30.700 --> 01:08:35.600]  Gavin Newsom closed churches, but he kept open strip clubs,
[01:08:35.600 --> 01:08:37.900]  which I appreciated, he said.
[01:08:37.900 --> 01:08:41.200]  He kept open the liquor stores and the weed stores.
[01:08:41.200 --> 01:08:42.800]  And it was like, what?
[01:08:42.800 --> 01:08:44.600]  Then he closed private businesses.
[01:08:44.600 --> 01:08:47.900]  He said, if you have more than 1,000 people when you perform,
[01:08:47.900 --> 01:08:49.700]  then they have to bring their vaccine cards.
[01:08:49.700 --> 01:08:52.700]  So I said, OK, just sell 999 tickets.
[01:08:52.700 --> 01:08:55.800]  I'm not going to force anyone to do anything.
[01:08:55.800 --> 01:08:58.100]  He said, this is all a form of coercion,
[01:08:58.100 --> 01:09:01.700]  something out of the 1940s with the Japanese internment camps.
[01:09:01.700 --> 01:09:04.200]  An American citizen, all of a sudden, you weren't.
[01:09:04.200 --> 01:09:06.500]  So you always have to be aware, historically,
[01:09:06.500 --> 01:09:09.000]  that you're an American citizen until you're not,
[01:09:09.000 --> 01:09:12.500]  because these Japanese citizens had everything taken away from them
[01:09:12.500 --> 01:09:14.400]  and were thrown into camps.
[01:09:14.400 --> 01:09:16.800]  Have we seen something like that today under Trump?
[01:09:16.800 --> 01:09:18.500]  He's not going to criticize Trump, actually.
[01:09:18.500 --> 01:09:20.900]  He's a big fan of Trump.
[01:09:20.900 --> 01:09:23.000]  These were American citizens, something
[01:09:23.000 --> 01:09:24.600]  that we need to be aware of.
[01:09:24.600 --> 01:09:27.700]  Under COVID, we're able to see your small business,
[01:09:27.700 --> 01:09:31.300]  your restaurant shut, shuttered, your ability to make money,
[01:09:31.300 --> 01:09:34.900]  your ability to take care of your family stopped.
[01:09:34.900 --> 01:09:35.900]  And what did they do?
[01:09:35.900 --> 01:09:37.400]  They printed money and all this stuff.
[01:09:37.400 --> 01:09:40.000]  At the same time, at the taxpayers' expense,
[01:09:40.000 --> 01:09:46.900]  devaluing all of our money and setting in effect
[01:09:46.900 --> 01:09:51.200]  this massive ramp up of the federal deficit,
[01:09:51.200 --> 01:09:53.200]  the one thing that Trump will never talk about,
[01:09:53.200 --> 01:09:54.800]  the government deficit.
[01:09:54.800 --> 01:09:56.900]  Hillary called us deplorable.
[01:09:56.900 --> 01:09:59.600]  Trump called us nonessential.
[01:09:59.600 --> 01:10:03.400]  And he bankrupted Main Street mom and pop businesses
[01:10:03.400 --> 01:10:06.300]  because he wanted to push stimulus, train people
[01:10:06.300 --> 01:10:08.900]  about universal basic income.
[01:10:08.900 --> 01:10:12.700]  He said, we have to warn Americans
[01:10:12.700 --> 01:10:18.100]  of the potential of this country to become authoritarian.
[01:10:18.100 --> 01:10:20.800]  Sorry, it was in 2020.
[01:10:20.800 --> 01:10:23.700]  It was authoritarian.
[01:10:23.700 --> 01:10:27.200]  And it was just insanity.
[01:10:27.200 --> 01:10:29.700]  I really feel like I don't want the Democrat Party trying
[01:10:29.700 --> 01:10:31.300]  to run my life, he said.
[01:10:31.300 --> 01:10:33.000]  And there's not one aspect of your life
[01:10:33.000 --> 01:10:36.200]  that they don't want to interfere with.
[01:10:36.200 --> 01:10:41.800]  See, again, he falls back into the partisan mind trap.
[01:10:41.800 --> 01:10:45.500]  It's not just Democrats who are destroying your life.
[01:10:45.500 --> 01:10:49.100]  It's Republicans who are creating the military bioweapon.
[01:10:49.100 --> 01:10:51.700]  It's Republicans who actually did the lockdown.
[01:10:51.700 --> 01:10:55.300]  The lockdown stuff was all Trump.
[01:10:55.300 --> 01:10:57.900]  Some of it was continued, yes.
[01:10:57.900 --> 01:11:02.000]  But the lockdown stuff that happened in 2020 was all Trump.
[01:11:02.000 --> 01:11:04.400]  And the money that he paid to hospitals
[01:11:04.400 --> 01:11:08.000]  to kill people was 100% on Trump.
[01:11:08.000 --> 01:11:11.500]  And people like Peter Navarro that he brought back.
[01:11:11.500 --> 01:11:14.000]  So again, what about Trump?
[01:11:14.000 --> 01:11:14.800]  What about Bush?
[01:11:14.800 --> 01:11:16.100]  What about Reagan?
[01:11:16.100 --> 01:11:19.800]  What about the profits for the pharmaceutical companies?
[01:11:19.800 --> 01:11:22.800]  What about the military depopulation program?
[01:11:22.800 --> 01:11:27.300]  And the global conspiracy of all of these governments
[01:11:27.300 --> 01:11:29.000]  that was a part of that?
[01:11:29.000 --> 01:11:30.300]  Yeah, let's not think about that.
[01:11:30.300 --> 01:11:32.700]  It'd be too scary, right?
[01:11:32.700 --> 01:11:34.200]  Well, we've got some comments here.
[01:11:34.200 --> 01:11:35.700]  Travis, I've been talking for a while.
[01:11:35.700 --> 01:11:37.900]  I'll let you read the comments.
[01:11:37.900 --> 01:11:38.700]  That's right.
[01:11:38.700 --> 01:11:40.000]  We've got Mark Young.
[01:11:40.000 --> 01:11:42.000]  He says, in the spirit of the Declaration of Independence,
[01:11:42.000 --> 01:11:44.700]  list of tyrannical acts of King George III.
[01:11:44.700 --> 01:11:47.000]  This is a list of King Trump's oath violations,
[01:11:47.000 --> 01:11:50.800]  crimes, and broken promises.
[01:11:50.800 --> 01:11:52.300]  We have Ben Laden Bernanke.
[01:11:52.300 --> 01:11:54.100]  He says, it's permissible to have our military
[01:11:54.100 --> 01:11:57.400]  be violently attacked, the USS Liberty, in 1967,
[01:11:57.400 --> 01:11:58.900]  because that's Israel.
[01:11:58.900 --> 01:12:00.300]  But if any one of the urban peasants
[01:12:00.300 --> 01:12:03.000]  harms a hair of our jackboots, then it's on.
[01:12:03.000 --> 01:12:03.500]  That's right.
[01:12:03.500 --> 01:12:05.400]  You don't even film them.
[01:12:05.400 --> 01:12:08.800]  Filming them is an act of terrorism, now we're told.
[01:12:09.000 --> 01:12:10.000]  They're in public.
[01:12:10.000 --> 01:12:11.500]  Nibiru, 2029.
[01:12:11.500 --> 01:12:14.900]  They didn't create a vaccine for a COVID virus.
[01:12:14.900 --> 01:12:17.900]  They created the COVID scandemic for the vaccine.
[01:12:17.900 --> 01:12:18.400]  That's right.
[01:12:18.400 --> 01:12:21.100]  That's what Dark Winter was all about.
[01:12:21.100 --> 01:12:23.000]  Cicada, 17.
[01:12:23.000 --> 01:12:25.300]  Says, yesterday was Reflection Sunday at our church
[01:12:25.300 --> 01:12:26.100]  with an open mic.
[01:12:26.100 --> 01:12:28.400]  One man listed off 10 people, close to him,
[01:12:28.400 --> 01:12:30.400]  that died over the past year.
[01:12:30.400 --> 01:12:34.400]  All I could think was, it's that poison shot.
[01:12:34.400 --> 01:12:38.300]  And Max, we all have this play acting in Minnesota.
[01:12:38.300 --> 01:12:40.200]  Trump pretending he's going after the leadership,
[01:12:40.200 --> 01:12:43.600]  but Waltz is starting a new Somali charity programs
[01:12:43.600 --> 01:12:45.800]  and declaring his run for a third term.
[01:12:45.800 --> 01:12:47.400]  Such amazing chutzpah.
[01:12:47.400 --> 01:12:49.500]  Would be my guess, Trump and Waltz are in the same club,
[01:12:49.500 --> 01:12:51.500]  just playing opposing positions.
[01:12:51.500 --> 01:12:53.900]  Like Soros, has he been arrested yet?
[01:12:53.900 --> 01:12:55.800]  All ES.
[01:12:55.800 --> 01:12:58.000]  That's so true, yes.
[01:12:58.000 --> 01:12:58.500]  Is that it?
[01:12:58.500 --> 01:12:59.600]  Is that all the comments we got?
[01:12:59.600 --> 01:13:01.100]  We're going to take a quick break, folks,
[01:13:01.100 --> 01:13:02.700]  and we will be right back.
[01:14:02.700 --> 01:14:05.100]  Welcome back to The David Knight Show.
[01:14:32.700 --> 01:14:34.700]  Welcome back to The David Knight Show.
[01:15:02.700 --> 01:15:22.100]  You're listening to The David Knight Show.
[01:15:22.100 --> 01:15:23.300]  Hey, it's Ben Ferguson,
[01:15:23.300 --> 01:15:26.500]  and I want you to pause what you're doing for just one minute,
[01:15:26.500 --> 01:15:29.400]  and I want you to hear about Alejandra.
[01:15:29.400 --> 01:15:31.200]  She lives in a remote community
[01:15:31.300 --> 01:15:35.400]  with very few resources and little to no health care.
[01:15:35.400 --> 01:15:37.400]  So when Alejandra gets sick,
[01:15:37.400 --> 01:15:39.500]  her parents have no real options,
[01:15:39.500 --> 01:15:42.000]  no doctors in their community,
[01:15:42.000 --> 01:15:45.100]  and no money for real medical care.
[01:15:45.100 --> 01:15:47.900]  By the third day, her body was shutting down.
[01:15:47.900 --> 01:15:51.200]  She woke up and just long enough to tell her mom,
[01:15:51.200 --> 01:15:54.000]  I can't take the pain anymore.
[01:15:54.000 --> 01:15:55.800]  I can't keep going.
[01:15:55.800 --> 01:16:00.100]  Her parents drove hours to find a doctor who tried everything,
[01:16:00.100 --> 01:16:02.400]  but she needed a private hospital,
[01:16:02.400 --> 01:16:05.900]  and that was impossible for her family to afford,
[01:16:05.900 --> 01:16:09.700]  and that is when Compassion International stepped in.
[01:16:09.700 --> 01:16:12.900]  Now, through Compassion, Alejandra was treated,
[01:16:12.900 --> 01:16:16.000]  and against all odds, she survived.
[01:16:16.000 --> 01:16:19.900]  She lived because someone just like you took action.
[01:16:19.900 --> 01:16:21.400]  Right now, unfortunately,
[01:16:21.400 --> 01:16:23.800]  there are children just like Alejandra
[01:16:23.800 --> 01:16:27.600]  who won't survive unless someone like you steps in.
[01:16:27.600 --> 01:16:31.400]  Compassion International partners with local churches,
[01:16:31.400 --> 01:16:34.400]  providing children with the support that they need,
[01:16:34.400 --> 01:16:38.400]  critical medical care, plus food, education,
[01:16:38.400 --> 01:16:42.500]  and the hope of the gospel, all in Jesus' name.
[01:16:42.500 --> 01:16:46.300]  So help a child just like Alejandra today.
[01:16:46.300 --> 01:16:48.800]  You can visit Compassion.com.
[01:16:48.800 --> 01:16:51.600]  That's Compassion.com.
[01:16:51.600 --> 01:16:53.400]  What's going on, Texas? It's Bluff here.
[01:16:53.400 --> 01:16:55.200]  Are you sick and tired of going to the rodeo,
[01:16:55.200 --> 01:16:57.200]  eating that great Texas barbecue,
[01:16:57.200 --> 01:16:59.000]  and sweeping tumbleweeds off your driveway?
[01:16:59.000 --> 01:17:00.400]  Well, don't worry. You can take a break now.

[01:17:23.100 --> 01:17:25.500]  Well, just recently, I think, was it around Thanksgiving,
[01:17:25.500 --> 01:17:30.400]  Sean Duffy, the Department of Transportation Secretary,
[01:17:30.400 --> 01:17:33.700]  said people are dressing really slovenly, you know,
[01:17:33.700 --> 01:17:35.300]  as they go to fly.
[01:17:35.300 --> 01:17:36.300]  We need to stop that.
[01:17:36.300 --> 01:17:37.900]  You know, you need to have some self-respect
[01:17:37.900 --> 01:17:38.800]  and all the rest of the stuff.
[01:17:38.800 --> 01:17:40.900]  Well, then just before Christmas,
[01:17:40.900 --> 01:17:42.700]  the TSA is warning flyers,
[01:17:42.700 --> 01:17:45.600]  do not wear any festive clothing.
[01:17:45.600 --> 01:17:49.600]  Yeah, hey, slave, don't get any ideas.
[01:17:49.600 --> 01:17:51.200]  You know, none of this fancy stuff.
[01:17:51.200 --> 01:17:53.800]  It's going to interfere with our naked body scanners
[01:17:53.800 --> 01:17:54.600]  that we've got here.
[01:17:54.700 --> 01:17:58.400]  And we'll have to give you increased pat-downs here.
[01:17:58.400 --> 01:18:02.500]  TSA PSA, the body scanners don't like sparkles,
[01:18:02.500 --> 01:18:06.600]  said the post, which was shared by TSA's social media.
[01:18:06.600 --> 01:18:08.900]  So that's the difference between
[01:18:08.900 --> 01:18:10.700]  George Elwell's big brother
[01:18:10.700 --> 01:18:12.600]  and the big brother that we've got now.
[01:18:12.600 --> 01:18:16.100]  You know, they are, they kind of say it with a smile.
[01:18:16.100 --> 01:18:17.700]  Isn't that nice?
[01:18:17.700 --> 01:18:20.300]  We don't want to dull your holiday shine,
[01:18:20.300 --> 01:18:21.300]  but we don't recommend wearing
[01:18:21.300 --> 01:18:24.400]  your sparkly holiday sweater to the airport.
[01:18:24.500 --> 01:18:26.100]  Holiday sweaters can sometimes feature
[01:18:26.100 --> 01:18:28.500]  sequins or metallic materials.
[01:18:28.500 --> 01:18:30.200]  They can set off the scanner
[01:18:30.200 --> 01:18:32.600]  and lead to extra security screening.
[01:18:33.500 --> 01:18:35.800]  Well, the scanner sets me off.
[01:18:35.800 --> 01:18:38.500]  I'd say good.
[01:18:38.500 --> 01:18:41.000]  Everybody wear a holiday sweater.
[01:18:41.000 --> 01:18:43.700]  Set it off, shut it down.
[01:18:43.700 --> 01:18:44.900]  Sparkles or sequins?
[01:18:44.900 --> 01:18:47.200]  Because those are two different things, darling,
[01:18:47.200 --> 01:18:48.800]  said one user.
[01:18:48.800 --> 01:18:49.800]  See, that's what they're going to do.
[01:18:49.800 --> 01:18:52.900]  They're not going to complain about the
[01:18:53.900 --> 01:18:57.100]  TSA and what they're doing.
[01:18:57.100 --> 01:18:58.500]  They're going to quibble about
[01:18:58.500 --> 01:19:01.500]  whether it is sparkles or sequins.
[01:19:01.500 --> 01:19:04.000]  I thought we were supposed to dress up to fly,
[01:19:04.000 --> 01:19:05.400]  said another.
[01:19:05.400 --> 01:19:07.300]  Well, the website also warned the passengers
[01:19:07.300 --> 01:19:10.500]  could be asked to remove their outer garments
[01:19:10.500 --> 01:19:12.600]  when going through the scanner.
[01:19:12.600 --> 01:19:14.300]  You're going to dress up?
[01:19:14.300 --> 01:19:15.800]  We're going to dress you down.
[01:19:15.800 --> 01:19:16.800]  We're going to strip search you.
[01:19:16.800 --> 01:19:18.100]  We're going to put our hands on you
[01:19:18.100 --> 01:19:19.700]  because you are our slave.
[01:19:19.700 --> 01:19:22.800]  This is training, folks.
[01:19:22.900 --> 01:19:25.200]  The training for the security state.
[01:19:25.200 --> 01:19:28.300]  TSA recently answered a slew of burning questions
[01:19:28.300 --> 01:19:30.200]  about what you can and cannot bring
[01:19:30.200 --> 01:19:32.800]  through airport security head of Christmas time,
[01:19:32.800 --> 01:19:35.400]  sharing vital advice for those who are
[01:19:35.400 --> 01:19:37.200]  traveling with gifts on this website.
[01:19:37.200 --> 01:19:38.400]  Don't wrap stuff up.
[01:19:38.400 --> 01:19:40.300]  We'll have to tear all the wrapping off.
[01:19:40.300 --> 01:19:43.600]  I'm so sick of the TSA and the federal government
[01:19:43.600 --> 01:19:46.500]  and its micromanaging of our lives.
[01:19:46.500 --> 01:19:48.900]  TSA encourages passengers
[01:19:48.900 --> 01:19:50.900]  traveling with gifts this holiday season
[01:19:51.000 --> 01:19:54.400]  to use bags which can be opened and gone through,
[01:19:54.400 --> 01:19:55.800]  gift boxes and the like.
[01:19:55.800 --> 01:19:57.400]  Kids can remove.
[01:19:57.400 --> 01:20:01.200]  TSA officers can inspect those gifts if necessary
[01:20:01.200 --> 01:20:03.400]  and avoid the possibility of opening
[01:20:03.400 --> 01:20:05.400]  fully wrapped presents.
[01:20:05.400 --> 01:20:08.000]  They're minded flyers at snow globes,
[01:20:08.000 --> 01:20:10.000]  which we've had for the longest time.
[01:20:10.000 --> 01:20:11.700]  They are now a security threat
[01:20:11.700 --> 01:20:15.400]  and you cannot travel with a snow globe.
[01:20:15.400 --> 01:20:18.200]  It's so great that the TSA is
[01:20:18.300 --> 01:20:20.200]  on top of all these threats.
[01:20:21.400 --> 01:20:23.300]  They know they don't exist.
[01:20:23.300 --> 01:20:26.800]  Let me tell you, the TSA is a threat.
[01:20:27.800 --> 01:20:30.800]  You just don't realize it, perhaps.
[01:20:30.800 --> 01:20:32.800]  Maybe the listeners of this program do.
[01:20:33.900 --> 01:20:36.700]  Snow globes are never a problem, but now they are.
[01:20:36.700 --> 01:20:39.500]  It assured the customers that yes,
[01:20:39.500 --> 01:20:42.700]  you are allowed to travel with live plants.
[01:20:42.700 --> 01:20:44.600]  So you can bring your poinsettias.
[01:20:44.600 --> 01:20:47.100]  Isn't that generous of them?
[01:20:47.200 --> 01:20:48.400]  Until they change their mind
[01:20:48.400 --> 01:20:52.300]  and the poinsettias go the way of the snow globes.
[01:20:52.300 --> 01:20:56.300]  So new airport DNA law is now in effect.
[01:20:56.300 --> 01:20:57.800]  You know, they said we're gonna get the DNA
[01:20:57.800 --> 01:20:59.200]  of people traveling into this country
[01:20:59.200 --> 01:21:02.500]  from even friendly nations.
[01:21:02.500 --> 01:21:05.300]  That went into effect December the 26th.
[01:21:06.300 --> 01:21:08.000]  Isn't that interesting?
[01:21:08.000 --> 01:21:12.200]  The new rule targets citizens entering or leaving the US,
[01:21:12.200 --> 01:21:13.600]  non-citizens, I should say.
[01:21:14.600 --> 01:21:18.600]  And you now are subject to facial recognition,
[01:21:18.600 --> 01:21:23.600]  DNA, social media, five years, all the rest of this stuff.
[01:21:24.200 --> 01:21:26.000]  And the facial recognition pictures
[01:21:26.000 --> 01:21:29.800]  will be stored up to 75 years.
[01:21:29.800 --> 01:21:31.100]  At that point, I guess I figure
[01:21:31.100 --> 01:21:32.500]  you don't have a face left anymore
[01:21:32.500 --> 01:21:35.400]  because you're dead, so let it go.
[01:21:35.400 --> 01:21:39.300]  So the new rules expand
[01:21:39.300 --> 01:21:41.900]  what officials are legally allowed to ask for.
[01:21:41.900 --> 01:21:42.900]  Let that sink in.
[01:21:44.600 --> 01:21:47.400]  These are rules, not laws.
[01:21:47.400 --> 01:21:49.700]  And these are rules that are being written
[01:21:49.700 --> 01:21:54.100]  by the officials who give themselves legal allowance
[01:21:54.100 --> 01:21:55.600]  to do whatever they wish.
[01:21:56.600 --> 01:21:59.800]  This is what our country has become now.
[01:21:59.800 --> 01:22:04.800]  We're no longer a country of laws established by Congress.
[01:22:04.800 --> 01:22:06.600]  We don't care about the Constitution.
[01:22:06.600 --> 01:22:10.100]  Instead, the bureaucracy writes its own rules.
[01:22:10.100 --> 01:22:11.700]  They enforce them.
[01:22:11.800 --> 01:22:15.100]  They judge you for your violation of them.
[01:22:15.100 --> 01:22:16.200]  The rules are not laws.
[01:22:16.200 --> 01:22:19.300]  The Constitution has not been amended.
[01:22:19.300 --> 01:22:21.100]  They have the power to do this,
[01:22:21.100 --> 01:22:25.100]  but they have no authority for any of this tyranny.
[01:22:26.300 --> 01:22:28.500]  The new rules could further dampen demand
[01:22:28.500 --> 01:22:31.100]  to visit the US by foreign travelers.
[01:22:31.100 --> 01:22:34.500]  International visits to the US fell in 2025
[01:22:34.500 --> 01:22:39.200]  to 85% of 2019 levels.
[01:22:39.200 --> 01:22:42.400]  The group expects arrivals to rebound in 2026,
[01:22:42.400 --> 01:22:47.400]  but only to about 89% of pre-pandemic levels.
[01:22:48.500 --> 01:22:49.800]  Like I said before,
[01:22:49.800 --> 01:22:52.200]  the federal government is like a boa constrictor.
[01:22:53.400 --> 01:22:56.900]  The constrictions are smothering us.
[01:22:56.900 --> 01:23:01.600]  Countries are making calls to cancel all visas for Americans.
[01:23:01.600 --> 01:23:03.300]  Here's part of the travel wars.
[01:23:03.300 --> 01:23:06.000]  Now, this is not in response
[01:23:06.000 --> 01:23:08.400]  to the DNA and social media requirements,
[01:23:08.400 --> 01:23:10.900]  but this is a total of 39 countries
[01:23:11.800 --> 01:23:13.600]  that now face a total ban
[01:23:13.600 --> 01:23:16.500]  or restrictions of entering the US.
[01:23:16.500 --> 01:23:20.000]  And some of these make sense.
[01:23:20.000 --> 01:23:21.400]  Some of them don't.
[01:23:21.400 --> 01:23:23.400]  Some of these are very dangerous countries.
[01:23:23.400 --> 01:23:24.400]  And so they said,
[01:23:24.400 --> 01:23:25.700]  well, we're just not going to accept
[01:23:25.700 --> 01:23:27.700]  anybody from those countries.
[01:23:27.700 --> 01:23:30.900]  I don't know that's gonna keep them from getting in.
[01:23:30.900 --> 01:23:34.200]  In Antigua, the Prime Minister there issued a statement
[01:23:34.200 --> 01:23:36.200]  saying that the Caribbean country's government
[01:23:36.200 --> 01:23:40.200]  was deeply disappointed giving the justification
[01:23:40.200 --> 01:23:43.700]  accusing it of loose rules.
[01:23:43.700 --> 01:23:45.000]  Listen to this, loose rules
[01:23:45.000 --> 01:23:48.400]  for granting citizenship by investment.
[01:23:49.300 --> 01:23:51.600]  Isn't Trump bragging about that in a sense?
[01:23:51.600 --> 01:23:53.100]  I know it's not citizenship.
[01:23:53.100 --> 01:23:54.800]  It's like a green card,
[01:23:54.800 --> 01:23:59.100]  but he's bragging about how he's bringing in billionaires
[01:23:59.100 --> 01:24:02.100]  who will pay $5 million to get a gold card
[01:24:02.100 --> 01:24:04.000]  instead of a green card.
[01:24:04.000 --> 01:24:05.700]  I look at that and I say,
[01:24:05.700 --> 01:24:07.900]  he's bringing in the worst of the worst.
[01:24:07.900 --> 01:24:10.200]  He's bringing in the richest of the rich.
[01:24:10.200 --> 01:24:11.600]  These are not the people we want.
[01:24:11.600 --> 01:24:13.900]  I would much rather have the poor people
[01:24:13.900 --> 01:24:15.800]  who walk across the border
[01:24:15.800 --> 01:24:18.600]  than these grifting billionaires.
[01:24:18.600 --> 01:24:20.000]  Even if the people are coming across
[01:24:20.000 --> 01:24:23.100]  with the intention of just getting on the welfare system,
[01:24:23.100 --> 01:24:25.800]  they will do far less damage to our country
[01:24:25.800 --> 01:24:27.300]  than some foreign billionaire.
[01:24:28.800 --> 01:24:32.200]  Niger is completely and permanently prohibited
[01:24:32.200 --> 01:24:35.400]  from the issuance of visas to all US citizens
[01:24:36.000 --> 01:24:39.200]  and definitely banning entry to its territory for nationals
[01:24:39.200 --> 01:24:44.200]  as a response to being banned themselves.
[01:24:44.600 --> 01:24:46.900]  I think this is a good case could be made
[01:24:46.900 --> 01:24:49.800]  for banning travel coming from Niger.
[01:24:49.800 --> 01:24:51.800]  It's not Nigeria, it's Niger.
[01:24:51.800 --> 01:24:53.300]  A Muslim-majority nation
[01:24:53.300 --> 01:24:56.200]  with a population of over 25 million,
[01:24:56.200 --> 01:25:00.200]  the White House said that they have a visa overstay rate
[01:25:00.200 --> 01:25:04.100]  of 13% for business visas and 16% for student ones.
[01:25:04.100 --> 01:25:05.800]  In other words, people get a visa.
[01:25:05.800 --> 01:25:07.100]  Hey, it's Ben Ferguson,
[01:25:07.100 --> 01:25:09.800]  and I want to be honest with you for a second
[01:25:09.800 --> 01:25:12.700]  about how an act of compassion really feels.
[01:25:12.700 --> 01:25:13.800]  A couple of years ago,
[01:25:13.800 --> 01:25:16.000]  I made the choice to partner
[01:25:16.000 --> 01:25:18.100]  with an amazing organization called
[01:25:18.100 --> 01:25:19.700]  Compassion International.
[01:25:19.700 --> 01:25:20.600]  Why?
[01:25:20.600 --> 01:25:23.700]  Because I wanted to sponsor a child in need.
[01:25:23.700 --> 01:25:25.600]  It was a nice idea, sure,
[01:25:25.600 --> 01:25:29.400]  but I had no idea just how much that simple act
[01:25:29.400 --> 01:25:31.500]  would change my life as well.
[01:25:31.500 --> 01:25:35.100]  I sponsored Nadia and got to watch her life change
[01:25:35.100 --> 01:25:36.700]  right in front of my eyes,
[01:25:36.700 --> 01:25:40.300]  going from starving literally alone on the streets
[01:25:40.300 --> 01:25:42.400]  to getting the healthcare and education
[01:25:42.400 --> 01:25:46.400]  she needs to reach her God-given full potential.
[01:25:46.400 --> 01:25:48.700]  I got to be a part of that change,
[01:25:48.700 --> 01:25:50.500]  and the light of that compassion
[01:25:50.500 --> 01:25:52.500]  not only illuminates in her,
[01:25:52.500 --> 01:25:54.600]  it illuminates now in me.
[01:25:54.600 --> 01:25:57.200]  That is the power of compassion.
[01:25:57.200 --> 01:26:00.800]  The light of Christ shines on all of us.
[01:26:00.800 --> 01:26:04.800]  Feel it for yourself and change literally a child's life.
[01:26:04.800 --> 01:26:07.900]  Change the world and you also change yourself.
[01:26:07.900 --> 01:26:09.800]  You can sponsor a child today.
[01:26:09.800 --> 01:26:12.400]  Visit Compassion.com.
[01:26:12.400 --> 01:26:15.800]  That's Compassion.com.
[01:26:15.800 --> 01:26:16.800]  What's going on, Texas?
[01:26:16.800 --> 01:26:17.700]  It's Bluff here.
[01:26:17.700 --> 01:26:19.200]  Do you like playing casino-style games
[01:26:19.200 --> 01:26:21.800]  like blackjack, bockrout, craps, and slots?
[01:26:21.800 --> 01:26:26.600]  Well, Spinquest.com, that's S-P-I-N-Q-U-E-S-T.com,
[01:26:26.600 --> 01:26:28.300]  has over a thousand games available
[01:26:28.300 --> 01:26:30.400]  for you to play from the comfort of your own home.
[01:26:30.400 --> 01:26:33.300]  New players get $30 coin packages for only $10
[01:26:33.300 --> 01:26:35.300]  and instant cash prize redemption.
[01:26:35.300 --> 01:26:36.300]  Now, what are you doing?
[01:26:36.300 --> 01:26:37.400]  Put that barbecue down,
[01:26:37.400 --> 01:26:38.800]  quit sweeping those tumbleweeds,
[01:26:38.800 --> 01:26:39.900]  and get to playing.
[01:26:39.900 --> 01:26:42.300]  Spinquest is a free-to-play social casino.
[01:26:42.300 --> 01:26:43.200]  Avoid where prohibited.
[01:26:43.200 --> 01:26:45.500]  Visit Spinquest.com for more details.
[01:26:45.500 --> 01:26:48.500]  ...to come in for business purposes or student purposes,
[01:26:48.500 --> 01:26:51.300]  and they don't go home when the visa expires.
[01:26:51.300 --> 01:26:56.300]  So, they said, as well as terrorists and their supporters
[01:26:56.300 --> 01:26:59.500]  that are actively planning kidnappings.
[01:26:59.600 --> 01:27:02.200]  So, again, I don't know if that's going to keep them out.
[01:27:02.200 --> 01:27:06.000]  Meanwhile, you have airlines calling in psychologists
[01:27:06.000 --> 01:27:09.200]  to stop passengers risking their lives for bags.
[01:27:10.500 --> 01:27:12.400]  So, that was an interesting headline.
[01:27:12.400 --> 01:27:13.500]  I thought, what are they doing?
[01:27:13.500 --> 01:27:16.400]  Are they climbing onto the luggage carousel or something?
[01:27:16.400 --> 01:27:18.500]  I want that bag.
[01:27:18.500 --> 01:27:20.600]  No, that's not the case.
[01:27:20.600 --> 01:27:25.100]  And yet, when you look at this, again, all air travel,
[01:27:25.100 --> 01:27:26.600]  just like everything else the government is doing,
[01:27:26.600 --> 01:27:29.200]  is now all psychological manipulation.
[01:27:29.200 --> 01:27:31.400]  I said, for the longest time, all this TSA stuff
[01:27:31.400 --> 01:27:34.400]  is pure BF Skinner.
[01:27:34.400 --> 01:27:37.300]  It is positive operant conditioning.
[01:27:37.300 --> 01:27:38.900]  You let me touch you.
[01:27:38.900 --> 01:27:42.400]  You let me take scans of your naked body,
[01:27:42.400 --> 01:27:43.500]  and I'll let you fly.
[01:27:43.500 --> 01:27:46.200]  You know, that's positive operant conditioning.
[01:27:46.200 --> 01:27:48.200]  It's not saying, well, if you don't let me do this,
[01:27:48.200 --> 01:27:49.500]  I'm going to throw you in jail.
[01:27:49.500 --> 01:27:51.000]  No, that would be negative.
[01:27:51.000 --> 01:27:55.300]  The positive is, you do this, and immediately you get a treat.
[01:27:55.300 --> 01:27:56.800]  The only thing missing is that you don't,
[01:27:56.800 --> 01:27:59.300]  that's the clicker training that you see for dogs,
[01:27:59.300 --> 01:28:02.300]  dolphins, ravens, and things like that.
[01:28:02.300 --> 01:28:05.400]  The only thing missing, they should have a TSA agent.
[01:28:05.400 --> 01:28:07.000]  When you go through the little scanner,
[01:28:07.000 --> 01:28:10.300]  it should give you a click, right?
[01:28:10.300 --> 01:28:11.200]  Now you get a treat.
[01:28:11.200 --> 01:28:12.300]  OK.
[01:28:12.300 --> 01:28:15.300]  So mobile phone footage from recent evacuations
[01:28:15.300 --> 01:28:17.600]  has shown that people are increasingly
[01:28:17.600 --> 01:28:19.900]  pausing to recover their belongings from overhead
[01:28:19.900 --> 01:28:24.200]  lockers before evacuating a plane that has been wrecked.
[01:28:24.200 --> 01:28:27.400]  And so that's what they're talking about.
[01:28:27.400 --> 01:28:30.800]  They said, you know, people carry on valuables with them.
[01:28:30.800 --> 01:28:33.400]  Why do we carry on valuables now like that?
[01:28:33.400 --> 01:28:37.200]  Well, because we know that if we leave them in our luggage
[01:28:37.200 --> 01:28:40.200]  and we're not allowed to lock our luggage anymore,
[01:28:40.200 --> 01:28:42.800]  that there'll be thieves who steal stuff.
[01:28:42.800 --> 01:28:45.200]  This happened to Karen's brother,
[01:28:45.200 --> 01:28:50.200]  who took a family vacation, and he bought a brand new camera.
[01:28:50.200 --> 01:28:52.200]  I still had it in the box, put it in his luggage,
[01:28:52.200 --> 01:28:55.000]  and of course, that was right after they stopped allowing
[01:28:55.000 --> 01:28:57.300]  people to lock their luggage.
[01:28:57.300 --> 01:29:01.200]  And the camera was interesting.
[01:29:01.200 --> 01:29:03.200]  The thing that really got him angry
[01:29:03.200 --> 01:29:07.500]  was they took the camera out and then closed the box up
[01:29:07.500 --> 01:29:10.600]  and put the box back in.
[01:29:10.600 --> 01:29:14.200]  I guess it's easier to put the camera in their coat
[01:29:14.200 --> 01:29:15.000]  if they do that.
[01:29:15.000 --> 01:29:18.000]  So video shows the problem has become apparent
[01:29:18.000 --> 01:29:21.400]  from footage of people sliding down escape chutes
[01:29:21.400 --> 01:29:25.400]  or stumbling from aircraft doors while clutching their bags.
[01:29:25.400 --> 01:29:27.400]  They cited the example of a Delta airline plane
[01:29:27.400 --> 01:29:30.800]  that overturned on landing in Toronto in February.
[01:29:30.800 --> 01:29:35.600]  80 passengers and crew aboard, 21 of whom sustained injuries.
[01:29:35.600 --> 01:29:38.100]  The aircraft slipped, rolled on the runway,
[01:29:38.100 --> 01:29:40.400]  and yet there were pictures of everyone running away
[01:29:40.400 --> 01:29:42.100]  with their suitcases.
[01:29:42.100 --> 01:29:44.400]  Anyone who's been through this will know the flight attendants
[01:29:44.400 --> 01:29:46.900]  are going to be screaming at their top of the lungs
[01:29:46.900 --> 01:29:49.900]  to exit the plane immediately.
[01:29:49.900 --> 01:29:54.100]  And they said, the Japanese do as they told,
[01:29:54.100 --> 01:29:57.900]  so we should be more like the Japanese.
[01:29:57.900 --> 01:29:59.200]  Yeah, that is a...
[01:29:59.200 --> 01:30:02.200]  They want us to be submissive, completely submissive.
[01:30:02.200 --> 01:30:04.900]  And they make no bones about it, do they?
[01:30:04.900 --> 01:30:06.500]  Well, we have a comment here, a tip.
[01:30:06.500 --> 01:30:07.900]  Thank you very much, Stealth Patriot.
[01:30:07.900 --> 01:30:09.200]  Really appreciate that.
[01:30:09.200 --> 01:30:11.700]  And I just want to say thank you so much, all of you.
[01:30:11.700 --> 01:30:15.500]  We had so many checks and cards that came in.
[01:30:15.500 --> 01:30:16.800]  Really do appreciate the cards.
[01:30:16.800 --> 01:30:18.700]  Thank you for the wishes.
[01:30:18.700 --> 01:30:22.300]  And we have made our goal this month,
[01:30:22.300 --> 01:30:25.700]  which is unusual because of your generosity.
[01:30:25.700 --> 01:30:27.700]  I want to thank you all and...
[01:30:27.700 --> 01:30:30.100]  Well, let me read Stealth Patriot's comment here first.
[01:30:30.100 --> 01:30:33.300]  ISIS-linked terrorist organization, the CIA,
[01:30:33.300 --> 01:30:36.100]  Mossad, the U.S. military, the U.S. State Department.
[01:30:36.100 --> 01:30:39.500]  It's hard to build a resistance against the system
[01:30:39.500 --> 01:30:42.800]  when so many so-called patriots worship the system.
[01:30:42.800 --> 01:30:44.600]  That's right.
[01:30:44.600 --> 01:30:45.100]  That's right.
[01:30:45.100 --> 01:30:46.600]  Well, I want to thank people.
[01:30:46.600 --> 01:30:48.000]  Thank you, Stealth Patriot.
[01:30:48.000 --> 01:30:51.000]  I want to thank the people who sent checks in December.
[01:30:51.000 --> 01:30:58.800]  Ronald C., Willem G., Lloyd P., Dane D., David and Deborah W.,
[01:30:58.800 --> 01:31:05.000]  Jack H., Brent and Ingrid S., Fred and Jackie U., Richard R.,
[01:31:05.000 --> 01:31:08.700]  Mary N., Tom and Nancy, Sammy and Abby.
[01:31:08.700 --> 01:31:11.700]  And it's great to see the pictures of Sammy and Abby
[01:31:11.700 --> 01:31:12.900]  growing up.
[01:31:12.900 --> 01:31:14.800]  For years, Tom and Nancy have supported us,
[01:31:14.800 --> 01:31:17.300]  and they've sent pictures of their children
[01:31:17.300 --> 01:31:18.700]  that they're homeschooling.
[01:31:18.700 --> 01:31:21.900]  It's amazing to see how big they've gotten.
[01:31:21.900 --> 01:31:23.200]  Time really does fly.
[01:31:23.200 --> 01:31:24.900]  You see that in the young people.
[01:31:24.900 --> 01:31:31.400]  Scott C., Stephanie K., Eric O., Kelly and Philip M., Lisa K.,
[01:31:31.400 --> 01:31:36.900]  R.D. in Florida, Helen T., Dale L., Heidi T.,
[01:31:36.900 --> 01:31:41.200]  Alexandria and Thomas L., and T.K. in Ohio.
[01:31:41.200 --> 01:31:45.700]  Thank you, all of you, for your gifts to us.
[01:31:45.700 --> 01:31:48.600]  And you've been very generous this month.
[01:31:48.600 --> 01:31:49.800]  Thank you very much.
[01:31:49.800 --> 01:31:50.900]  We'll be right back, folks.
[01:31:50.900 --> 01:31:54.000]  ["Pomp and Circumstance"]
[01:32:20.900 --> 01:32:24.000]  ["Pomp and Circumstance"]
[01:32:50.900 --> 01:32:54.000]  ["Pomp and Circumstance"]
[01:33:21.000 --> 01:33:24.000]  ["Pomp and Circumstance"]
[01:33:35.000 --> 01:33:38.000]  You're listening to The David Knight Show.
[01:33:50.900 --> 01:33:54.000]  ["Pomp and Circumstance"]
[01:34:21.000 --> 01:34:24.000]  ["Pomp and Circumstance"]
[01:34:26.000 --> 01:34:29.400]  You're listening to The David Knight Show.
[01:34:29.400 --> 01:34:30.700]  Hey, it's Ben Ferguson,
[01:34:30.700 --> 01:34:33.400]  and I want to be honest with you for a second
[01:34:33.400 --> 01:34:36.300]  about how an act of compassion really feels.
[01:34:36.300 --> 01:34:37.400]  A couple of years ago,
[01:34:37.400 --> 01:34:41.500]  I made the choice to partner with an amazing organization
[01:34:41.500 --> 01:34:43.400]  called Compassion International.
[01:34:43.400 --> 01:34:44.200]  Why?
[01:34:44.200 --> 01:34:47.400]  Because I wanted to sponsor a child in need.
[01:34:47.400 --> 01:34:49.300]  It was a nice idea, sure,
[01:34:49.300 --> 01:34:53.000]  but I had no idea just how much that simple act
[01:34:53.000 --> 01:34:55.100]  would change my life as well.
[01:34:55.100 --> 01:34:58.200]  I sponsored Nadia and got to watch her life
[01:34:58.200 --> 01:35:00.300]  change right in front of my eyes,
[01:35:00.300 --> 01:35:03.900]  going from starving literally alone on the streets
[01:35:03.900 --> 01:35:06.000]  to getting the healthcare and education
[01:35:06.000 --> 01:35:10.000]  she needs to reach her God-given full potential.
[01:35:10.000 --> 01:35:12.300]  I got to be a part of that change,
[01:35:12.300 --> 01:35:14.100]  and the light of that compassion
[01:35:14.100 --> 01:35:16.100]  not only illuminates in her,
[01:35:16.100 --> 01:35:18.200]  it illuminates now in me.
[01:35:18.200 --> 01:35:20.800]  That is the power of compassion.
[01:35:20.800 --> 01:35:24.400]  The light of Christ shines on all of us.
[01:35:24.400 --> 01:35:28.500]  Feel it for yourself and change literally a child's life.
[01:35:28.500 --> 01:35:31.600]  Change the world, and you also change yourself.
[01:35:31.600 --> 01:35:33.500]  You can sponsor a child today.

[01:35:39.600 --> 01:35:40.400]  You know what?
[01:35:40.400 --> 01:35:42.200]  It sucks to be bored,
[01:35:42.200 --> 01:35:43.300]  but when I get on my phone
[01:35:43.300 --> 01:35:46.500]  and play real casino games on SpinQuest.com,
[01:35:46.500 --> 01:35:48.000]  the time flies by.
[01:35:48.000 --> 01:35:51.400]  That two-hour wait at the DMV seems like 10 minutes.
[01:35:51.400 --> 01:35:52.600]  Play your favorite slots,
[01:35:52.600 --> 01:35:55.900]  live blackjack, live preps, with a live dealer.

[01:36:10.100 --> 01:36:10.700]  Elvis.
[01:36:10.700 --> 01:36:13.000]  Ladies and gentlemen, the Beatles!
[01:36:13.000 --> 01:36:15.100]  And the sweet sounds of Motown.

[01:36:22.000 --> 01:36:25.400]  Well, I'm reminded of Chicago, the musical group there.
[01:36:25.400 --> 01:36:27.500]  There's a song, While the City Sleeps,
[01:36:27.500 --> 01:36:30.600]  Men Are Scheming, New Ways to Kill Us.
[01:36:30.600 --> 01:36:33.200]  Netanyahu's got a new slant
[01:36:33.200 --> 01:36:37.600]  to lure Trump back into a war with Iran.
[01:36:37.600 --> 01:36:41.900]  He can't say that we gotta stop the nuclear production facilities
[01:36:41.900 --> 01:36:44.600]  because Trump has already bragged about the fact
[01:36:44.600 --> 01:36:46.600]  that he completely destroyed them.
[01:36:46.600 --> 01:36:49.400]  So they gotta come up with a new rationale for attacking Iran.
[01:36:49.400 --> 01:36:51.400]  But attack Iran, we must,
[01:36:51.400 --> 01:36:54.600]  because that's what Netanyahu has been all about
[01:36:54.600 --> 01:36:55.700]  for 30-some-odd years.
[01:36:55.700 --> 01:36:57.300]  I mean, he's telling everybody,
[01:36:57.300 --> 01:36:59.100]  they're just a couple of weeks away from a nuclear weapon.
[01:36:59.100 --> 01:37:00.400]  We gotta attack, we gotta attack.
[01:37:00.400 --> 01:37:01.700]  He's been doing this,
[01:37:01.700 --> 01:37:07.400]  having his ACME cartoon bombs up behind him
[01:37:07.400 --> 01:37:10.300]  to scare people for decades.
[01:37:10.300 --> 01:37:11.700]  In these last days of the year,
[01:37:11.800 --> 01:37:16.400]  the Trump administration has boarded or seized three tankers,
[01:37:16.400 --> 01:37:20.500]  either loaded with Venezuelan oil or destined for Venezuela.
[01:37:20.500 --> 01:37:23.800]  The most egregious seizure in terms of illegality
[01:37:23.800 --> 01:37:26.900]  being a Chinese-owned Panama-flagged vessel
[01:37:26.900 --> 01:37:29.700]  reportedly destined for China
[01:37:29.700 --> 01:37:32.000]  and on nobody's sanctions list.
[01:37:32.000 --> 01:37:35.800]  This is the Ron Paul Institute writing this, by the way.
[01:37:35.800 --> 01:37:38.000]  In a different zone of conflict,
[01:37:38.000 --> 01:37:41.600]  the security services of Ukraine, the SBU,
[01:37:41.600 --> 01:37:43.900]  last Friday claimed that it had struck a Russian
[01:37:43.900 --> 01:37:46.900]  so-called Shadow Fleet tanker
[01:37:46.900 --> 01:37:50.300]  with aerial drones and waters of the Mediterranean Sea
[01:37:50.300 --> 01:37:52.000]  off of Morocco.
[01:37:52.000 --> 01:37:54.400]  The SBU did not give further details of the attack,
[01:37:54.400 --> 01:37:59.000]  including how they had deployed a drone in the Mediterranean,
[01:37:59.000 --> 01:38:02.000]  2,000 kilometers, that's about 1,200 miles,
[01:38:02.000 --> 01:38:04.200]  from Ukraine,
[01:38:04.200 --> 01:38:08.100]  or the site from which they launched this.
[01:38:08.100 --> 01:38:10.800]  Russia vows that they would retaliate.
[01:38:10.900 --> 01:38:12.500]  And, of course, what we see now happening
[01:38:12.500 --> 01:38:17.200]  is both Russia and Ukraine attacking each other's infrastructure,
[01:38:17.200 --> 01:38:21.000]  primarily by going after energy targets,
[01:38:21.000 --> 01:38:23.700]  whether it's fuel, refineries,
[01:38:23.700 --> 01:38:27.200]  or electrical generation and distribution.
[01:38:27.200 --> 01:38:31.600]  Blockades, seizures, and attacks very plainly are acts of war.
[01:38:31.600 --> 01:38:34.700]  Despite the U.S. claims that America owns all the oil
[01:38:34.700 --> 01:38:36.400]  produced by Venezuela
[01:38:36.400 --> 01:38:40.700]  until all historical U.S. legal claims against Venezuela are satisfied,
[01:38:40.700 --> 01:38:43.100]  it is yet another ratchet
[01:38:43.100 --> 01:38:45.700]  to the drift of lawlessness
[01:38:45.700 --> 01:38:48.100]  in U.S. foreign policy.
[01:38:48.100 --> 01:38:52.300]  These acts are preeminently aimed at China,
[01:38:52.300 --> 01:38:57.100]  which has large equities in the Venezuelan oil industry and at Russia.
[01:38:57.100 --> 01:39:00.700]  Add to that the $11 billion in weapons being sent to Taiwan
[01:39:00.700 --> 01:39:04.600]  with a significant amount of medium to long-range missile systems
[01:39:04.600 --> 01:39:07.000]  being part of the plan to transfer,
[01:39:07.000 --> 01:39:10.100]  including 82 high-Mars launchers
[01:39:10.100 --> 01:39:12.500]  with Army Atacams, I guess,
[01:39:12.500 --> 01:39:15.700]  is what you would call these things, missiles,
[01:39:15.700 --> 01:39:17.800]  that would allow Taipei forces
[01:39:17.800 --> 01:39:21.300]  to hit targets across the Taipan Strait.
[01:39:21.300 --> 01:39:24.500]  The last transfer of the Atacams
[01:39:24.500 --> 01:39:27.100]  has infuriated China.
[01:39:27.100 --> 01:39:31.100]  What this suggests is that the national strategy statement
[01:39:31.100 --> 01:39:34.800]  in respect to China says that Washington now views China
[01:39:34.800 --> 01:39:38.100]  no longer as constituting a prime threat,
[01:39:38.200 --> 01:39:41.200]  but only as an economic competitor.
[01:39:41.200 --> 01:39:44.300]  That statement is meaningless rhetoric.
[01:39:44.300 --> 01:39:47.600]  China is being treated as an adversarial threat
[01:39:47.600 --> 01:39:50.000]  and will respond as such.
[01:39:50.000 --> 01:39:54.300]  China and Russia will read the Trump administration by its actions
[01:39:54.300 --> 01:39:57.600]  rather than by this NSS rhetoric.
[01:39:57.600 --> 01:40:01.000]  The signals speak plainly to escalation.
[01:40:01.000 --> 01:40:04.500]  Put all this into the context of quote-unquote leaks
[01:40:04.500 --> 01:40:06.300]  by senior Trump officials
[01:40:06.300 --> 01:40:09.800]  which Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard says
[01:40:09.800 --> 01:40:13.700]  are lies and propaganda.
[01:40:13.700 --> 01:40:17.700]  She says that the claims that the U.S. intelligence community agrees to
[01:40:17.700 --> 01:40:20.300]  and supports the EU-NATO viewpoint
[01:40:20.300 --> 01:40:23.200]  that Russia's aim is to invade, conquer Europe
[01:40:23.200 --> 01:40:26.700]  in order to gin up support for their pro-war policies,
[01:40:26.700 --> 01:40:29.800]  that these are lies being pushed by what she terms
[01:40:29.800 --> 01:40:33.300]  the deep state warmongers and their propaganda media.
[01:40:33.300 --> 01:40:36.900]  In other words, she says U.S. intelligence assesses
[01:40:36.900 --> 01:40:40.900]  that Russia seeks to avoid a larger war with NATO.
[01:40:40.900 --> 01:40:44.700]  So what Gabbard is telling us is that there is open
[01:40:44.700 --> 01:40:48.800]  intro warfare at the top of the Trump administration,
[01:40:48.800 --> 01:40:52.500]  internecine warfare within the intelligence community.
[01:40:52.500 --> 01:40:55.800]  What a surprise. I've said all along that
[01:40:55.800 --> 01:41:00.000]  the intelligence community, CIA and all the rest of them,
[01:41:00.000 --> 01:41:03.400]  it's not a monolithic organization. There's different factions in it.
[01:41:03.400 --> 01:41:06.900]  And now they're openly holding press conferences,
[01:41:06.900 --> 01:41:08.800]  contradicting each other.
[01:41:08.800 --> 01:41:12.200]  On the one side, there's the CIA, the hawks and their European collaborators.
[01:41:12.200 --> 01:41:15.400]  On the other side is Gabbard's intelligence analysts
[01:41:15.400 --> 01:41:18.000]  in the larger U.S. constituency.
[01:41:18.000 --> 01:41:19.800]  So where is Trump?
[01:41:19.800 --> 01:41:21.800]  And all this brew, they ask.
[01:41:21.800 --> 01:41:24.400]  Why is he positioning himself at the cusp
[01:41:24.400 --> 01:41:27.200]  of another round of conflict with China?
[01:41:27.200 --> 01:41:32.600]  Why would he do that when U.S. economic structures are so fragile?
[01:41:32.600 --> 01:41:37.700]  When China has shown that it has economic leverage with which to fight?
[01:41:37.700 --> 01:41:40.400]  Is the explanation the simplistic response
[01:41:40.400 --> 01:41:44.400]  that it's a diversion from the release of further Epstein images?
[01:41:44.400 --> 01:41:46.600]  I don't think so.
[01:41:46.600 --> 01:41:48.200]  I don't know if they think that or not,
[01:41:48.200 --> 01:41:51.400]  but they kind of leave that as an open question.
[01:41:51.400 --> 01:41:54.800]  If you go back to look at what happened in 2020,
[01:41:54.800 --> 01:41:59.300]  Trump, pretending that he is an anti-globalist,
[01:41:59.300 --> 01:42:02.600]  was the leader of the globalist conspiracy
[01:42:02.600 --> 01:42:05.000]  to lock down and vaccinate us all.
[01:42:05.000 --> 01:42:06.400]  He was the leader of that conspiracy.
[01:42:06.400 --> 01:42:09.600]  He produced the vaccine with U.S. taxpayer money
[01:42:09.600 --> 01:42:12.400]  and with the U.S. military and its resources.
[01:42:12.400 --> 01:42:17.200]  And so this I see as just more of the same,
[01:42:17.200 --> 01:42:21.100]  a global conspiracy by a globalist Trump.
[01:42:21.200 --> 01:42:26.000]  Why did Trump dispatch Witkoff and Kushner to Berlin
[01:42:26.000 --> 01:42:30.100]  when the intent of Europeans to wreck the negotiating process
[01:42:30.100 --> 01:42:32.800]  with Russia was quite evident beforehand?
[01:42:32.800 --> 01:42:37.700]  The two American so-called envoys did not sign the European proposal.
[01:42:37.700 --> 01:42:42.300]  They sat silently, yet neither did they enter any dissent,
[01:42:42.300 --> 01:42:49.700]  not even when NATO Article 5 security guarantees were talked about
[01:42:49.700 --> 01:42:52.300]  as being put into play for Ukraine.
[01:42:52.300 --> 01:42:54.700]  Who was it that provided the targeting data
[01:42:54.700 --> 01:42:58.600]  by which Ukraine apparently was able to attack this tanker
[01:42:58.600 --> 01:43:03.700]  off of the North African coast 2,000 kilometers from Ukraine,
[01:43:03.700 --> 01:43:05.000]  1,200 miles?
[01:43:05.000 --> 01:43:12.000]  And why draw in Iran by seizing the Iranian Bella 1,
[01:43:12.000 --> 01:43:16.600]  ostensibly flagged to Guyana and heading towards Venezuela?
[01:43:16.600 --> 01:43:19.400]  Does this represent the start to another round
[01:43:19.400 --> 01:43:23.200]  to the Iranian tanker that was originally pursued by Israel?
[01:43:23.200 --> 01:43:26.000]  Does it suit Netanyahu and certain constituencies
[01:43:26.000 --> 01:43:32.000]  and Israel's purposes to heat up the situation with respect to Iran?
[01:43:32.000 --> 01:43:33.600]  Well, since this is written, of course,
[01:43:33.600 --> 01:43:39.600]  we now have Netanyahu had planned to go to Mar-a-Lago.
[01:43:39.600 --> 01:43:42.500]  But over the weekend, we had some very sensational headlines
[01:43:42.500 --> 01:43:46.600]  that were pushed by mainstream media, including a dread report.
[01:43:46.700 --> 01:43:50.300]  I wake up Saturday and look at the top of the dread report
[01:43:50.300 --> 01:43:54.300]  that says Iran declares total war.
[01:43:54.300 --> 01:43:56.400]  Well, that was a total lie.
[01:43:56.400 --> 01:44:01.500]  What the Iranian prime minister or president or whatever his title is,
[01:44:01.500 --> 01:44:04.700]  what he said was they have engaged in total war against us.
[01:44:04.700 --> 01:44:08.300]  He said when we were fighting Iraq, they were shooting missiles at us.
[01:44:08.300 --> 01:44:10.300]  We knew where those missiles were coming from.
[01:44:10.300 --> 01:44:15.700]  But he said this is a total war that's being conducted by the US, EU, Israel.
[01:44:15.700 --> 01:44:17.000]  They're coming at us financially.
[01:44:17.000 --> 01:44:18.300]  They're coming at us militarily.
[01:44:18.300 --> 01:44:20.900]  They're coming at us from every different direction.
[01:44:20.900 --> 01:44:23.000]  So he says that they have declared total war on us.
[01:44:23.000 --> 01:44:24.400]  It wasn't a declaration by him,
[01:44:24.400 --> 01:44:31.600]  but it was portrayed exactly the opposite way by a UK tabloid
[01:44:31.600 --> 01:44:33.600]  and then pushed by the dread report
[01:44:33.600 --> 01:44:38.200]  and other organizations pushing for that war here.
[01:44:38.200 --> 01:44:43.500]  Netanyahu is scheduled to leave for Palm Beach on December the 28th yesterday
[01:44:43.500 --> 01:44:47.400]  to have one or perhaps two meetings with Trump.
[01:44:47.400 --> 01:44:51.200]  And so the thing that's on his agenda is not Gaza.
[01:44:51.200 --> 01:44:54.600]  I mean, they've gotten what they want from Trump with that.
[01:44:54.600 --> 01:44:56.800]  Rather, it is Iran.
[01:44:56.800 --> 01:45:02.800]  Iran will not be presented to Trump as rushing toward a nuclear breakthrough.
[01:45:02.800 --> 01:45:04.000]  That old cliche.
[01:45:04.000 --> 01:45:05.700]  That's an old narrative.
[01:45:05.700 --> 01:45:08.300]  And of course, they can't sell that because that would mean that Trump
[01:45:08.300 --> 01:45:12.000]  would have to admit that his bombing run was a failure.
[01:45:12.000 --> 01:45:15.100]  He's never going to say that anything he did was a failure,
[01:45:15.100 --> 01:45:18.100]  even when it's obvious to the world.
[01:45:18.100 --> 01:45:24.700]  The new one is that that's been put out by Israeli commentator Anna Barsky.
[01:45:24.700 --> 01:45:27.800]  She wrote, she said the more immediate threat here,
[01:45:27.800 --> 01:45:29.700]  more than nuclear itself,
[01:45:29.700 --> 01:45:33.900]  is the systematic Iranian reconstruction of the middle layer,
[01:45:33.900 --> 01:45:36.300]  the ballistic missile industry.
[01:45:36.300 --> 01:45:37.900]  It's production lines and it's a...
[01:45:37.900 --> 01:45:39.000]  Hey, it's Ben Ferguson,
[01:45:39.200 --> 01:45:42.200]  I want you to pause what you're doing for just one minute
[01:45:42.200 --> 01:45:45.000]  and I want you to hear about Alejandra.
[01:45:45.000 --> 01:45:48.500]  She lives in a remote community with very few resources
[01:45:48.500 --> 01:45:51.000]  and little to no health care.
[01:45:51.000 --> 01:45:53.000]  So when Alejandra gets sick,
[01:45:53.000 --> 01:45:55.100]  her parents have no real options,
[01:45:55.100 --> 01:46:00.700]  no doctors in their community and no money for real medical care.
[01:46:00.700 --> 01:46:03.500]  By the third day, her body was shutting down.
[01:46:03.500 --> 01:46:06.800]  She woke up and just long enough to tell her mom,
[01:46:06.800 --> 01:46:09.600]  I can't take the pain anymore.
[01:46:09.600 --> 01:46:11.400]  I can't keep going.
[01:46:11.400 --> 01:46:15.700]  Her parents drove hours to find a doctor who tried everything,
[01:46:15.700 --> 01:46:18.000]  but she needed a private hospital
[01:46:18.000 --> 01:46:21.500]  and that was impossible for her family to afford.
[01:46:21.500 --> 01:46:25.300]  And that is when Compassion International stepped in.
[01:46:25.300 --> 01:46:28.500]  Now through compassion, Alejandra was treated
[01:46:28.500 --> 01:46:31.600]  and against all odds, she survived.
[01:46:31.600 --> 01:46:35.600]  She lived because someone just like you took action.
[01:46:35.600 --> 01:46:37.100]  Right now, unfortunately,
[01:46:37.100 --> 01:46:39.500]  there are children just like Alejandra
[01:46:39.500 --> 01:46:43.200]  who won't survive unless someone like you steps in.
[01:46:43.200 --> 01:46:47.000]  Compassion International partners with local churches
[01:46:47.000 --> 01:46:50.000]  providing children with the support that they need.
[01:46:50.000 --> 01:46:54.000]  Critical medical care plus food, education
[01:46:54.000 --> 01:46:56.200]  and the hope of the gospel.
[01:46:56.200 --> 01:46:58.100]  All in Jesus name.
[01:46:58.100 --> 01:47:01.900]  So help a child just like Alejandra today.

[01:47:37.600 --> 01:47:39.500]  Ability to restore the functionality
[01:47:39.500 --> 01:47:42.500]  to damaged air defense systems.
[01:47:42.500 --> 01:47:47.500]  Understand that when Putin launched this large attack
[01:47:48.200 --> 01:47:51.500]  against Kiev over the Christmas holidays,
[01:47:51.500 --> 01:47:54.600]  the drones were Iranian drones
[01:47:54.600 --> 01:47:56.600]  and they have large production.
[01:47:56.600 --> 01:48:00.300]  Iran is a very, very large country
[01:48:00.300 --> 01:48:03.500]  with a lot of people and a lot of production capability
[01:48:03.500 --> 01:48:07.500]  and they have produced these suicide attack drones,
[01:48:07.500 --> 01:48:08.600]  produced them in large numbers
[01:48:08.600 --> 01:48:11.500]  so much so that the Russians are actually buying them from them.
[01:48:11.500 --> 01:48:17.100]  And so this is going to be the focus by Netanyahu
[01:48:17.100 --> 01:48:19.400]  and those who want to destroy Iran
[01:48:19.400 --> 01:48:21.700]  that we got to stop them because of the missiles.
[01:48:21.700 --> 01:48:25.800]  And so we can pretend that the nuclear program
[01:48:25.800 --> 01:48:29.600]  has been stopped for now so we don't embarrass Trump
[01:48:29.600 --> 01:48:31.000]  and we'll tell him that he's got to go
[01:48:31.000 --> 01:48:33.000]  after their missile system.
[01:48:34.000 --> 01:48:36.100]  So the message Netanyahu will take
[01:48:36.100 --> 01:48:38.200]  is that Israel must not allow Iran
[01:48:38.200 --> 01:48:40.600]  to rebuild a missile and defense umbrella
[01:48:40.600 --> 01:48:44.500]  that will close the skies over sensitive sites.
[01:48:44.500 --> 01:48:48.300]  Netanyahu will likely remind the president
[01:48:48.300 --> 01:48:50.800]  that Trump was placed in power
[01:48:50.800 --> 01:48:53.900]  not just to promote Israel's image
[01:48:53.900 --> 01:48:55.900]  but for the real politic purpose
[01:48:55.900 --> 01:48:59.700]  of expanding Israel's real world power in the region
[01:48:59.700 --> 01:49:02.700]  and their control over territory.
[01:49:02.700 --> 01:49:07.000]  So then we get to this headline here.
[01:49:07.000 --> 01:49:09.300]  The Iranian president says that Israel-U.S.
[01:49:09.300 --> 01:49:12.600]  are already waging full-scale war.
[01:49:12.600 --> 01:49:14.100]  He said the U.S., Israel and Europe
[01:49:14.100 --> 01:49:17.300]  are already waging full-fledged war on Iran.
[01:49:17.300 --> 01:49:19.800]  That a return to kinetic warfare
[01:49:19.800 --> 01:49:21.800]  will result in a more decisive response
[01:49:21.800 --> 01:49:23.900]  than the retaliation that was witnessed
[01:49:23.900 --> 01:49:27.700]  during June's 12-day war.
[01:49:27.700 --> 01:49:30.400]  A 6,600-word interview that was published
[01:49:30.400 --> 01:49:35.800]  on the official site of Iran's leader there.
[01:49:35.800 --> 01:49:37.800]  The wide-ranging discussion addressed
[01:49:37.800 --> 01:49:40.500]  the full spectrum of challenges the country is facing,
[01:49:40.500 --> 01:49:42.700]  including internal political, social,
[01:49:42.700 --> 01:49:45.300]  economic, and cultural ones.
[01:49:45.300 --> 01:49:49.100]  And so, again, he says the war, quote,
[01:49:49.100 --> 01:49:50.800]  that is making headlines,
[01:49:50.800 --> 01:49:54.300]  came in the midst of a discussion of Iran's attempt
[01:49:54.400 --> 01:49:58.000]  to make the most of their finite energy resources.
[01:49:58.000 --> 01:50:00.500]  And immediately followed his listing
[01:50:00.500 --> 01:50:02.800]  of the many small ways, he said,
[01:50:02.800 --> 01:50:05.800]  he personally economizes with state resources.
[01:50:05.800 --> 01:50:08.300]  From ordering radiators turned off in offices
[01:50:08.300 --> 01:50:12.600]  that he seldom uses to shutting down a heated swimming pool
[01:50:12.600 --> 01:50:15.200]  that was dedicated for his own use.
[01:50:15.200 --> 01:50:18.100]  Then he pivoted and he put Iran's struggle
[01:50:18.100 --> 01:50:21.100]  in the context of the Israeli-Western efforts
[01:50:21.100 --> 01:50:23.700]  to weaken the country from economic sanctions
[01:50:23.700 --> 01:50:28.600]  to attempting to foster internal discontent.
[01:50:28.600 --> 01:50:31.100]  He said, in my opinion, we are in a full-fledged war
[01:50:31.100 --> 01:50:33.200]  with America, Israel, and Europe.
[01:50:33.200 --> 01:50:36.300]  They do not want our country to stand on its feet.
[01:50:36.300 --> 01:50:38.800]  This war is worse than Iraq's war against us.
[01:50:38.800 --> 01:50:40.500]  And, again, the quote about
[01:50:40.500 --> 01:50:41.700]  when they shot something at us,
[01:50:41.700 --> 01:50:42.700]  we could see the missiles coming,
[01:50:42.700 --> 01:50:44.000]  we knew where they were coming from.
[01:50:44.000 --> 01:50:48.000]  This is something that is coming in from every angle.
[01:50:48.000 --> 01:50:51.100]  He said, here they are besieging us from every aspect.
[01:50:51.100 --> 01:50:53.600]  They're putting us in difficulty, constraint,
[01:50:53.600 --> 01:50:56.100]  creating problems in terms of livelihood,
[01:50:56.100 --> 01:50:58.800]  culturally, politically, and security-wise.
[01:50:58.800 --> 01:51:02.600]  They block our sales, our exchanges, our trade.
[01:51:02.600 --> 01:51:04.000]  And on the other side,
[01:51:04.000 --> 01:51:06.800]  expectations in society have risen.
[01:51:06.800 --> 01:51:09.000]  Consequently, we must all help
[01:51:09.000 --> 01:51:11.800]  with all of our might to fix the country.
[01:51:11.800 --> 01:51:13.900]  So this is something that was really
[01:51:13.900 --> 01:51:16.000]  kind of set up for internal discussion,
[01:51:16.000 --> 01:51:18.500]  say, well, we've got to all close ranks.
[01:51:18.500 --> 01:51:19.800]  They are sanctioning us.
[01:51:19.800 --> 01:51:20.900]  They're trying to cut us off.
[01:51:20.900 --> 01:51:24.300]  Economically, they're about to attack us militarily.
[01:51:24.300 --> 01:51:27.000]  And yet, notice how this whole thing
[01:51:27.000 --> 01:51:29.800]  was presented in the press.
[01:51:29.800 --> 01:51:32.300]  This is the Express out of the UK.
[01:51:32.300 --> 01:51:35.800]  And this is what was put up at the very top of Drudge.
[01:51:35.800 --> 01:51:38.900]  Iran declares total war on America and Europe
[01:51:38.900 --> 01:51:42.700]  and a huge World War III alert.
[01:51:42.700 --> 01:51:45.000]  That's not at all what he said.
[01:51:45.000 --> 01:51:47.100]  This is warmongering.
[01:51:47.200 --> 01:51:51.200]  And this is taking the remarks out of context.
[01:51:51.200 --> 01:51:52.700]  In my opinion, we are at total war
[01:51:52.700 --> 01:51:55.000]  with the US, Israel, and Europe.
[01:51:55.000 --> 01:51:57.700]  They want to bring our country to its knees.
[01:51:57.700 --> 01:51:59.400]  He's not making a declaration of war.
[01:51:59.400 --> 01:52:04.000]  And, of course, neither is the US, Israel, or EU.
[01:52:04.000 --> 01:52:06.000]  They just said, well, we just need to kill them.
[01:52:06.000 --> 01:52:09.400]  You know, we're not going to make a case for it.
[01:52:09.400 --> 01:52:11.600]  Moving to the goalpost, Israel now says
[01:52:11.600 --> 01:52:13.300]  neither Tel Aviv nor Washington
[01:52:13.300 --> 01:52:16.400]  should tolerate Iran's rebuilding
[01:52:16.500 --> 01:52:18.500]  of its surprisingly formidable arsenal
[01:52:18.500 --> 01:52:21.200]  of hypersonic and other ballistic missiles
[01:52:21.200 --> 01:52:23.400]  that the country used to retaliate
[01:52:23.400 --> 01:52:26.900]  when Israel initiated the 12-day war.
[01:52:26.900 --> 01:52:28.700]  According to each country's official tallies,
[01:52:28.700 --> 01:52:32.900]  more than 1,000 were killed in Iran, 33 in Israel.
[01:52:32.900 --> 01:52:34.500]  The war was purportedly launched
[01:52:34.500 --> 01:52:37.300]  because of the threat of Iran developing a nuclear weapon.
[01:52:37.300 --> 01:52:39.800]  Yet, US intelligence has long concluded
[01:52:39.800 --> 01:52:43.100]  that the country is not developing a weapon.
[01:52:43.100 --> 01:52:46.900]  And again, we have seen Netanyahu sell this idea now
[01:52:46.900 --> 01:52:49.900]  for, what was it, 35 years?
[01:52:49.900 --> 01:52:52.300]  That within just a few weeks, maybe months,
[01:52:52.300 --> 01:52:54.300]  you know, they're going to have a nuclear weapon.
[01:52:54.300 --> 01:52:57.100]  We've been hearing this for 35 years.
[01:52:57.100 --> 01:53:01.300]  And the real issue is that, as we reported before,
[01:53:02.300 --> 01:53:05.000]  Iran's response was far more damaging
[01:53:05.000 --> 01:53:07.300]  than Israel wanted to admit to.
[01:53:08.300 --> 01:53:12.000]  There's now been footage that was previously banned
[01:53:12.000 --> 01:53:15.900]  showing Iranian missiles pounding a Haifa oil refinery
[01:53:15.900 --> 01:53:20.300]  during the 12-day war, hit with three direct impacts,
[01:53:20.300 --> 01:53:23.400]  massive explosion, because it's an oil refinery.
[01:53:23.400 --> 01:53:27.500]  And so that was why they pushed to shut this down
[01:53:27.500 --> 01:53:30.900]  and then come back and attack from a different angle.
[01:53:30.900 --> 01:53:33.300]  After only nine days, Israel wanted a ceasefire
[01:53:33.300 --> 01:53:36.800]  and kept to it, unlike with Gaza,
[01:53:36.800 --> 01:53:39.500]  where they have not followed the ceasefire.
[01:53:39.500 --> 01:53:42.000]  The key reason for that is that the Iranian missiles
[01:53:42.000 --> 01:53:44.700]  inflicted significant damage on the Israelis.
[01:53:44.700 --> 01:53:48.000]  Instead of Israel succeeding in subjecting Iran
[01:53:48.000 --> 01:53:51.100]  under its domination, as it did to Lebanon,
[01:53:51.100 --> 01:53:54.800]  we now have a situation of mutual deterrence.
[01:53:54.800 --> 01:53:57.500]  And that is unacceptable for Netanyahu,
[01:53:57.500 --> 01:53:59.300]  unacceptable for his legacy.
[01:53:59.300 --> 01:54:01.200]  And as a result, the likelihood of Israel
[01:54:01.200 --> 01:54:04.700]  trying to attack Iran again is very, very high.
[01:54:04.700 --> 01:54:08.300]  And that's on top of his agenda as he's coming to Florida.
[01:54:09.300 --> 01:54:12.000]  That will be today.
[01:54:12.000 --> 01:54:16.200]  The American right is in the midst of a growing civil war
[01:54:16.200 --> 01:54:20.200]  over US support for Israel, with many conservatives
[01:54:20.200 --> 01:54:22.600]  still incensed over Trump's decision to support
[01:54:22.600 --> 01:54:27.600]  and then to commit US forces to Israel's war on Iran in June.
[01:54:27.600 --> 01:54:30.600]  The question is whether Trump's instinctive subservience
[01:54:30.600 --> 01:54:32.100]  to Israel.
[01:54:32.100 --> 01:54:35.200]  It's not instinctive, it's bought.
[01:54:35.200 --> 01:54:37.400]  He's a whore.
[01:54:37.400 --> 01:54:40.700]  And his US-based collaborators will overcome reservations
[01:54:40.700 --> 01:54:43.100]  about blowing up the conservative coalition
[01:54:43.100 --> 01:54:47.600]  heading into next year's high-stakes midterms.
[01:54:47.600 --> 01:54:52.600]  Well, again, this would not be happening
[01:54:52.600 --> 01:54:55.300]  if Iran didn't have the will.
[01:54:55.300 --> 01:55:00.100]  Because this all goes back to the CIA overthrowing
[01:55:00.100 --> 01:55:04.300]  the democratically elected government decades before.
[01:55:04.300 --> 01:55:06.900]  You had the blowback with the Ayatollah
[01:55:06.900 --> 01:55:10.000]  and the taking over the US embassy.
[01:55:10.000 --> 01:55:13.400]  This is one of the best examples, I think,
[01:55:13.400 --> 01:55:18.000]  of CIA intrigue blowing up in our face.
[01:55:18.000 --> 01:55:20.800]  We wouldn't have the radical Ayatollahs there
[01:55:20.800 --> 01:55:23.000]  if it hadn't been for the coup that put in
[01:55:23.000 --> 01:55:25.100]  the totalitarian Shah of Iran
[01:55:25.100 --> 01:55:30.400]  and the CIA that trained his brutal secret police.
[01:55:30.400 --> 01:55:32.800]  And so that's what we're dealing with now.
[01:55:32.800 --> 01:55:39.800]  And it is all because of the CIA's intrigue
[01:55:39.800 --> 01:55:43.400]  and because of the desire to steal the oil.
[01:55:43.400 --> 01:55:46.100]  That's what Trump is about now in Venezuela.
[01:55:46.100 --> 01:55:48.100]  What are they going to do in Venezuela?
[01:55:48.100 --> 01:55:50.800]  Are we going to wind up with another Iran there?
[01:55:50.800 --> 01:55:52.100]  Are we going to wind up with another
[01:55:52.100 --> 01:55:56.000]  quagmire Afghanistan there?
[01:55:56.000 --> 01:55:59.500]  So in my opinion, we are at total war with the US, he said.
[01:55:59.500 --> 01:56:04.200]  And he's talking about this from their perspective,
[01:56:04.200 --> 01:56:07.000]  that the US has declared total war on them.
[01:56:07.000 --> 01:56:11.500]  And Trump is already doing the talking points of Netanyahu.
[01:56:11.500 --> 01:56:14.400]  He doesn't even need to have a visit from Netanyahu.
[01:56:14.400 --> 01:56:20.300]  He just gets a call from his donors who tell him what to do.
[01:56:20.300 --> 01:56:25.300]  So this is, as we look at happy new year,
[01:56:25.300 --> 01:56:27.100]  or is it going to be happy new wars
[01:56:27.100 --> 01:56:28.200]  that we're going to have this next year?
[01:56:28.200 --> 01:56:30.700]  A lot of them that Trump is working on.
[01:56:30.700 --> 01:56:33.500]  A lot of wars for a guy that prides himself
[01:56:33.500 --> 01:56:35.400]  on trying to get the Nobel Peace Prize.
[01:56:35.400 --> 01:56:37.200]  Yeah, what a fraud he is.
[01:56:37.200 --> 01:56:38.500]  It's just amazing.
[01:56:38.500 --> 01:56:40.900]  No one's ever deserved it more than he has, though.
[01:56:40.900 --> 01:56:43.300]  That's as fraudulent, Travis, as him saying
[01:56:43.300 --> 01:56:45.900]  that he is an anti-globalist and then
[01:56:45.900 --> 01:56:53.000]  leading the globalist COVID conspiracy against everybody.
[01:56:53.000 --> 01:56:55.100]  Trump said that the administration viewed Iran
[01:56:55.100 --> 01:56:59.200]  as nearing a nuclear breakout before the June attacks.
[01:56:59.200 --> 01:57:01.900]  But he says that they destroyed that.
[01:57:01.900 --> 01:57:03.400]  But now we've got to get their missiles.
[01:57:03.400 --> 01:57:06.000]  And that's exactly what Netanyahu is saying.
[01:57:06.000 --> 01:57:07.200]  Hey, it's Ben Ferguson.
[01:57:07.200 --> 01:57:10.500]  And I want you to pause what you're doing for just one minute.
[01:57:10.500 --> 01:57:13.300]  And I want you to hear about Alejandra.
[01:57:13.300 --> 01:57:16.700]  She lives in a remote community with very few resources
[01:57:16.700 --> 01:57:19.300]  and little to no health care.
[01:57:19.300 --> 01:57:23.400]  So when Alejandra gets sick, her parents have no real options,
[01:57:23.400 --> 01:57:29.000]  no doctors in their community, and no money for real medical care.
[01:57:29.000 --> 01:57:31.800]  By the third day, her body was shutting down.
[01:57:31.800 --> 01:57:35.100]  She woke up and just long enough to tell her mom,
[01:57:35.100 --> 01:57:37.900]  I can't take the pain anymore.
[01:57:37.900 --> 01:57:39.700]  I can't keep going.
[01:57:39.700 --> 01:57:44.000]  Her parents drove hours to find a doctor who tried everything,
[01:57:44.000 --> 01:57:46.300]  but she needed a private hospital.
[01:57:46.300 --> 01:57:49.800]  And that was impossible for her family to afford.
[01:57:49.800 --> 01:57:53.600]  And that is when Compassion International stepped in.
[01:57:53.600 --> 01:57:56.800]  Now, through Compassion, Alejandra was treated.
[01:57:56.800 --> 01:57:59.900]  And against all odds, she survived.
[01:57:59.900 --> 01:58:03.900]  She lived because someone just like you took action.
[01:58:03.900 --> 01:58:07.800]  Right now, unfortunately, there are children just like Alejandra
[01:58:07.800 --> 01:58:11.500]  who won't survive unless someone like you steps in.
[01:58:11.500 --> 01:58:15.300]  Compassion International partners with local churches,
[01:58:15.300 --> 01:58:18.300]  providing children with the support that they need.
[01:58:18.300 --> 01:58:24.500]  Critical medical care, plus food, education, and the hope of the Gospel.
[01:58:24.500 --> 01:58:26.400]  All in Jesus' name.
[01:58:26.400 --> 01:58:30.200]  So help a child just like Alejandra today.

[01:58:42.500 --> 01:58:44.000]  the time flies by.

[01:59:05.700 --> 01:59:09.700]  So then we get to Nigeria, which happened over the weekend.
[01:59:09.700 --> 01:59:17.000]  And again, I've talked for a very long time about the persecution of Christians in Nigeria.
[01:59:17.000 --> 01:59:19.000]  I believe that's true.
[01:59:19.000 --> 01:59:22.000]  There's very credible eyewitness accounts of that.
[01:59:22.000 --> 01:59:28.800]  And we have seen what Boko Haram does, and even attacking other Muslims in some cases.
[01:59:28.800 --> 01:59:34.200]  But the Nigerian government and the establishment press here has poo-pooed that idea.
[01:59:34.200 --> 01:59:39.300]  Trump, on the other hand, seized on it because he realized that it was something that bothered
[01:59:39.300 --> 01:59:41.100]  American Christians here.
[01:59:41.100 --> 01:59:46.500]  So he seized on it, thought it would be a Christmas gift to virtually signal to Christians
[01:59:46.500 --> 01:59:53.200]  that he's going to kill those bad guys that are engaged in mass murder of Christians in Nigeria.
[01:59:53.200 --> 02:00:00.400]  The problem is that it's not just Cash Patel and his Keystone cops at the FBI who can't
[02:00:00.400 --> 02:00:02.000]  get anything done.
[02:00:02.000 --> 02:00:06.300]  The Trump administration attacked the wrong people, basically.
[02:00:06.300 --> 02:00:11.900]  It was totally ineffective and in the wrong area.
[02:00:11.900 --> 02:00:14.200]  What a clown show this is.
[02:00:14.200 --> 02:00:18.700]  We're going to be the world's policemen, we'll be the world's Keystone cops.
[02:00:18.700 --> 02:00:25.400]  And this is all really for just show, and it's really for the military-industrial complex
[02:00:25.400 --> 02:00:27.700]  to sell more missiles, more weapons.
[02:00:27.700 --> 02:00:32.700]  Trump says that the U.S. launched strikes against ISIL in northwest Nigeria.
[02:00:32.700 --> 02:00:35.700]  Well, wait a minute.
[02:00:35.700 --> 02:00:41.200]  ISIL, ISIS, al-Qaeda, al-Nusra, all these different, Mujahideen, all these different
[02:00:41.700 --> 02:00:48.700]  synonyms for the same organization that we both ally ourselves with and fight against.
[02:00:48.700 --> 02:00:52.800]  But that was the organization that he put in charge in Syria.
[02:00:52.800 --> 02:00:58.100]  And he brought the guy in, if you remember, to celebrate him into the White House and
[02:00:58.100 --> 02:00:59.100]  the Oval Office.
[02:00:59.100 --> 02:01:01.300]  It's very deferential to the guy.
[02:01:01.300 --> 02:01:03.500]  An Islamic terrorist who's also killing Christians.
[02:01:03.500 --> 02:01:07.400]  But we're not going to do anything about the Syrian terrorist that was our ally.
[02:01:07.900 --> 02:01:13.100]  But he said, tonight, in my direction, as commander-in-chief, the U.S. launched a powerful
[02:01:13.100 --> 02:01:18.400]  deadly strike against ISIS terrorist scum in northwest Nigeria.
[02:01:18.400 --> 02:01:23.300]  So he did that on Truth Social on Christmas night.
[02:01:23.300 --> 02:01:24.300]  Peace on Earth.
[02:01:24.300 --> 02:01:25.300]  There we go.
[02:01:25.300 --> 02:01:29.100]  I have previously warned these terrorists that if they don't stop slaughtering Christians,
[02:01:29.100 --> 02:01:30.300]  they'd be hell to pay.
[02:01:30.300 --> 02:01:31.900]  And tonight, there was.
[02:01:32.400 --> 02:01:38.700]  The U.S. military's African command, AFRICOM, said in a post on X that the airstrike was
[02:01:38.700 --> 02:01:45.200]  carried out at the request of Nigerian authorities and had killed multiple ISIS terrorists.
[02:01:45.200 --> 02:01:52.200]  Well, residents of a village, Jabo, I guess if they got a hut, it'd be Jabo the Hut, right?
[02:01:55.600 --> 02:01:56.600]  Have said that the strikes-
[02:01:56.600 --> 02:01:58.600]  Not we two, solo.
[02:01:58.900 --> 02:02:03.700]  Have said that the strikes caused alarm and that their village has never experienced an
[02:02:03.700 --> 02:02:06.200]  attack by ISIL.
[02:02:06.200 --> 02:02:10.300]  As it approached our area, the heat became intensive, said one person they spoke with.
[02:02:10.300 --> 02:02:12.200]  Our rooms began to shake.
[02:02:12.200 --> 02:02:13.200]  Fire broke out.
[02:02:13.200 --> 02:02:17.500]  The Nigerian government should take appropriate measures to protect us as citizens.
[02:02:17.500 --> 02:02:19.300]  We have never experienced anything like this before.
[02:02:19.300 --> 02:02:24.400]  In other words, we've never been attacked by these ISIS terrorists before, but now we're
[02:02:24.400 --> 02:02:27.300]  being attacked by the American government.
[02:02:27.300 --> 02:02:30.900]  And why were they not attacked by the ISIS terrorists?
[02:02:30.900 --> 02:02:33.400]  Because they were Muslims.
[02:02:33.400 --> 02:02:38.200]  And they're not attacking Muslims in the Jabo area.
[02:02:38.200 --> 02:02:40.200]  The U.S. government does that.
[02:02:40.200 --> 02:02:45.600]  So, grateful for the Nigerian government's support and cooperation, said War Pete, when
[02:02:45.600 --> 02:02:47.400]  he's writing on social media.
[02:02:47.400 --> 02:02:51.800]  Warning of more to come without providing any details.
[02:02:51.800 --> 02:02:58.900]  Afrikan said that the strike occurred in the Saboto state, a reference to Nigeria's
[02:02:58.900 --> 02:03:00.900]  Sokoto state.
[02:03:00.900 --> 02:03:03.400]  They don't even have the name right.
[02:03:03.400 --> 02:03:07.200]  I guess that's one of the reasons why they attacked a predominantly Muslim area that
[02:03:07.200 --> 02:03:09.600]  was not being attacked by the Muslim terrorists.
[02:03:09.600 --> 02:03:13.600]  Because they don't even know the name of the place.
[02:03:13.600 --> 02:03:17.300]  This is America where we don't know who it is we're fighting or why we're fighting.
[02:03:17.300 --> 02:03:20.900]  We don't even know the names of the places that we're bombing.
[02:03:21.000 --> 02:03:25.000]  Nigerian foreign minister confirmed on Friday that the strike had been carried out in coordination
[02:03:25.000 --> 02:03:26.100]  with his country's authorities.
[02:03:26.100 --> 02:03:27.600]  They're trying to get out in front of this.
[02:03:27.600 --> 02:03:30.800]  They don't want to conflict with the U.S. government.
[02:03:30.800 --> 02:03:32.700]  And so they're saying, yeah, we're doing that.
[02:03:32.700 --> 02:03:34.600]  We don't want these people.
[02:03:34.600 --> 02:03:39.900]  And it's not really the case, as we've had people telling us over the years.
[02:03:39.900 --> 02:03:43.800]  The Nigerian government has been passive in terms of this.
[02:03:43.800 --> 02:03:47.300]  Whether they're attacking Christians or Muslims, they've done nothing.
[02:03:47.300 --> 02:03:53.300]  And in many cases when they're attacking the Christians, they stand there and watch.
[02:03:53.300 --> 02:04:00.100]  Nigeria's government dismissed Trump's assertions that they are persecuting Christians, saying
[02:04:00.100 --> 02:04:03.300]  armed groups target both Muslim and Christian communities in the country.
[02:04:03.300 --> 02:04:05.100]  So they're doing it equally.
[02:04:05.100 --> 02:04:06.100]  So there you go.
[02:04:06.100 --> 02:04:08.200]  Yeah, but what about when they attack the Muslims?
[02:04:08.200 --> 02:04:11.700]  So I guess they got a license to kill Christians now as well.
[02:04:11.700 --> 02:04:14.500]  This is where this what about-ism always lands, right?
[02:04:14.500 --> 02:04:18.700]  We have the Republicans get caught red-handed doing something.
[02:04:18.700 --> 02:04:20.600]  They say, yeah, but look at the Democrats did the same thing.
[02:04:20.600 --> 02:04:22.200]  What about that?
[02:04:22.200 --> 02:04:24.400]  And so this is the way this goes.
[02:04:24.400 --> 02:04:26.900]  Instead of saying both of these things are wrong, we're going to stop it.
[02:04:26.900 --> 02:04:30.100]  They says, oh, you know, it happens to both sides, so who knows?
[02:04:30.100 --> 02:04:31.900]  We can't do anything about it.
[02:04:31.900 --> 02:04:38.200]  So they confirmed on Friday that the Nigerian authorities were engaged in structural security
[02:04:38.200 --> 02:04:42.200]  cooperation with international partners, including the United States of America.
[02:04:42.300 --> 02:04:44.600]  There's nobody else involved in any of this stuff.
[02:04:44.600 --> 02:04:50.500]  To look at the issue of alleged Christian genocide in Nigeria, Sokoto State is probably
[02:04:50.500 --> 02:04:58.800]  the last place many Nigerians would think it's happening, said Al Jazeera's reporter,
[02:04:58.800 --> 02:05:01.900]  explaining that the vast majority of the state's population is Muslim and there'd been few,
[02:05:01.900 --> 02:05:06.600]  if any, attacks on Christians in the region that he could recall, because there's not
[02:05:06.600 --> 02:05:08.200]  many Christians there.
[02:05:08.200 --> 02:05:10.400]  They go into the other areas.
[02:05:10.400 --> 02:05:19.000]  So is this, you know, when we look at this on Christmas, you know, facts are clashing.
[02:05:19.000 --> 02:05:24.800]  As Trump claims, he hit ISIS and is protecting Nigerians.
[02:05:24.800 --> 02:05:28.300]  And let's say the situation on the ground is far more complicated.
[02:05:28.300 --> 02:05:35.000]  Sokoto, not Saboto State, which was hit by more than 12 Tomahawk missiles Thursday night,
[02:05:35.000 --> 02:05:38.700]  is populated overwhelmingly by Muslims.
[02:05:38.700 --> 02:05:43.700]  And so there's not a problem of Christian persecution there, because there's not Christians
[02:05:43.700 --> 02:05:45.900]  to persecute there.
[02:05:45.900 --> 02:05:49.900]  And we don't know the difference, evidently.
[02:05:49.900 --> 02:05:54.700]  Even as the Nigerian authorities have disputed Mr. Trump's claims about Christian genocide,
[02:05:54.700 --> 02:06:01.000]  they've chosen to respond to his threats by cooperating with his administration.
[02:06:01.000 --> 02:06:07.220]  So one of the areas that was hit in Jabo, analysts said, was not known to harbor any
[02:06:07.320 --> 02:06:09.620]  terrorist or bandit groups.
[02:06:09.620 --> 02:06:12.620]  We heard a booming sound like that of an aircraft coming from the western part of the town and
[02:06:12.620 --> 02:06:19.420]  going east and a sound like a siren, followed by a powerful air force that's nearly shifted
[02:06:19.420 --> 02:06:21.720]  the roofs of our houses.
[02:06:21.720 --> 02:06:26.920]  He said, nearby residents thinking an aircraft had crashed, rushed into a nearby farm where
[02:06:26.920 --> 02:06:29.120]  they found pieces of ordinance.
[02:06:29.120 --> 02:06:32.820]  A farmer's hut had been set on fire, but nobody was hurt.
[02:06:32.820 --> 02:06:35.720]  He added that he did not know of any terrorist camps in the area.
[02:06:35.820 --> 02:06:43.820]  This reminds me of when cruise missiles were sent to blow up the tents of Muammar Gaddafi
[02:06:43.820 --> 02:06:44.820]  at one point in time.
[02:06:44.820 --> 02:06:45.820]  Reagan did that.
[02:06:45.820 --> 02:06:50.020]  I think it did blow up the tent of one of his kids and killed one of his kids, but that
[02:06:50.020 --> 02:06:51.020]  was it.
[02:06:51.020 --> 02:06:52.620]  It didn't do anything militarily.
[02:06:52.620 --> 02:06:56.820]  These things cost millions of dollars apiece to blow up tents.
[02:06:56.820 --> 02:07:03.820]  In this particular one, it set on fire a farmer's hut, but nobody was hurt.
[02:07:03.820 --> 02:07:04.820]  Nobody died.
[02:07:05.320 --> 02:07:11.720]  Sokoto State is home to the Sultan of Sokoto, who is the spiritual leader of Nigeria's
[02:07:11.720 --> 02:07:13.720]  Muslim population.
[02:07:13.720 --> 02:07:16.120]  That's perhaps why they targeted it.
[02:07:16.120 --> 02:07:21.720]  Nevertheless, it is not going after any terrorist cells that they know of there.
[02:07:21.720 --> 02:07:26.420]  It's a good way for the US for Trump to show to the American evangelical right that he's
[02:07:26.420 --> 02:07:28.920]  doing something about Nigeria.
[02:07:28.920 --> 02:07:34.420]  And the American evangelical right can cheer mass murder without us being attacked for
[02:07:34.520 --> 02:07:35.520]  Christmas Day.
[02:07:35.520 --> 02:07:36.820]  There we go.
[02:07:36.820 --> 02:07:41.920]  The strikes address both Trump's desire for publicity and the American security establishment's
[02:07:41.920 --> 02:07:47.320]  concern about the Islamic State, and also the military-industrial complex being able
[02:07:47.320 --> 02:07:51.220]  to sell war and missiles.
[02:07:51.220 --> 02:07:55.920]  Still some in Nigeria were puzzled by the choice of the targeting, and let's say the
[02:07:55.920 --> 02:08:00.820]  terrorist groups in Nigeria were the best documented links to ISIS, or in northeastern
[02:08:00.820 --> 02:08:04.320]  Nigeria, the other side of the country.
[02:08:04.320 --> 02:08:10.720]  That group, Islamic State West Africa, or ISWOP, splintered off from Boko Haram, another
[02:08:10.720 --> 02:08:12.720]  jihadist group.
[02:08:12.720 --> 02:08:16.520]  They said northeastern Nigeria has been taken over by Boko Haram.
[02:08:16.520 --> 02:08:22.420]  So, you know, we attack the other side of the country.
[02:08:22.420 --> 02:08:24.020]  This goes back to the music man.
[02:08:24.020 --> 02:08:27.920]  You got to know the territory.
[02:08:27.920 --> 02:08:32.320]  This is the gang that can't shoot straight, but they do kill a lot of people.
[02:08:32.420 --> 02:08:37.920]  So, a little proof that the attacks were effective, despite Trump claiming that the ISIS terrorist
[02:08:37.920 --> 02:08:40.620]  scum were killed for Christmas.
[02:08:40.620 --> 02:08:48.020]  That's his, as I said, he had a very un-Merry Christmas that was there.
[02:08:48.020 --> 02:08:50.020]  He said, I said, we're going to do it earlier.
[02:08:50.020 --> 02:08:54.820]  And I said, no, let's wait, said Trump, and we'll do it as a Christmas present.
[02:08:54.820 --> 02:08:58.520]  He said, every camp got decimated.
[02:08:58.520 --> 02:09:01.120]  This is pure BS.
[02:09:01.120 --> 02:09:02.320]  It's just amazing.
[02:09:02.320 --> 02:09:04.420]  Yeah, this is for him.
[02:09:04.420 --> 02:09:08.820]  It's what makes him happy is to go, who can we kill for Christmas?
[02:09:08.820 --> 02:09:12.320]  You're on his naughty list.
[02:09:12.320 --> 02:09:21.020]  I can't think, and then you got Laura Looney, part of the sycophant psychotic press.
[02:09:21.020 --> 02:09:25.520]  I can't think of a better way to celebrate Christmas than by avenging the death of Christians
[02:09:25.520 --> 02:09:30.920]  through the justified mass killing of Islamic terrorists, said Laura Loomer.
[02:09:30.920 --> 02:09:32.620]  You got to love it.
[02:09:32.620 --> 02:09:34.620]  Death to Islamic terrorists.
[02:09:34.620 --> 02:09:36.620]  Thank you, Mr. Trump.
[02:09:36.620 --> 02:09:37.420]  There we go.
[02:09:37.420 --> 02:09:38.320]  Wow.
[02:09:38.320 --> 02:09:40.120]  Then we turn to Venezuela over the weekend.
[02:09:40.120 --> 02:09:46.120]  US has moved additional troops as well as special operation aircraft to the Caribbean.
[02:09:46.120 --> 02:09:53.120]  These are the Osprey tilt motor aircraft that are assigned to special op forces.
[02:09:53.120 --> 02:09:55.720]  They continue to build up forces there for what?
[02:09:55.720 --> 02:09:57.120]  We shall see.
[02:09:57.320 --> 02:10:04.920]  But again, just remember that going in and blowing up all of the military equipment of
[02:10:04.920 --> 02:10:10.920]  the Venezuelan military, whatever it is that they have, and then trying to occupy the country,
[02:10:10.920 --> 02:10:17.420]  trying to take over oil fields, is a fool's errand.
[02:10:17.420 --> 02:10:19.320]  We're being led by a ship of fools.
[02:10:19.520 --> 02:10:29.020]  By the way, when Trump started bragging about his new Trump class ships, this is an AI meme
[02:10:29.020 --> 02:10:32.020]  that somebody put out.
[02:10:32.020 --> 02:10:34.020]  That's the Trump class right there.
[02:10:37.020 --> 02:10:40.020]  Yeah, USS Trump.
[02:10:40.020 --> 02:10:44.020]  Giant clown head at the top.
[02:10:44.020 --> 02:10:47.020]  And just like its namesake, it drones on and on.
[02:10:47.220 --> 02:10:52.220]  Well, Trump said on Monday, referring to Maduro, if he wants to do something, if he plays tough,
[02:10:52.220 --> 02:10:55.220]  it'll be the last time he's ever able to play tough.
[02:10:55.220 --> 02:10:56.220]  Yeah.
[02:10:56.220 --> 02:10:57.220]  Hey, it's Ben Ferguson.
[02:10:57.220 --> 02:11:03.220]  And I want to be honest with you for a second about how an act of compassion really feels.
[02:11:03.220 --> 02:11:08.220]  A couple of years ago, I made the choice to partner with an amazing organization called
[02:11:08.220 --> 02:11:10.220]  Compassion International.
[02:11:10.220 --> 02:11:11.220]  Why?
[02:11:11.220 --> 02:11:14.220]  Because I wanted to sponsor a child in need.
[02:11:14.420 --> 02:11:16.420]  It was a nice idea, sure.
[02:11:16.420 --> 02:11:22.420]  But I had no idea just how much that simple act would change my life as well.
[02:11:22.420 --> 02:11:27.420]  I sponsored Nadia and got to watch her life change right in front of my eyes,
[02:11:27.420 --> 02:11:33.420]  going from starving literally alone on the streets to getting the health care and education
[02:11:33.420 --> 02:11:37.420]  she needs to reach her God-given full potential.
[02:11:37.420 --> 02:11:39.420]  I got to be a part of that change.
[02:11:39.420 --> 02:11:43.420]  And the light of that compassion not only illuminates in her,
[02:11:43.620 --> 02:11:45.620]  but it illuminates now in me.
[02:11:45.620 --> 02:11:47.620]  That is the power of compassion.
[02:11:47.620 --> 02:11:51.620]  The light of Christ shines on all of us.
[02:11:51.620 --> 02:11:55.620]  Feel it for yourself and change literally a child's life.
[02:11:55.620 --> 02:11:58.620]  Change the world and you also change yourself.
[02:11:58.620 --> 02:12:00.620]  You can sponsor a child today.

[02:12:40.020 --> 02:12:42.020]  I double dog dare you.
[02:12:44.020 --> 02:12:48.020]  Kristi Naum said that Maduro needs to be gone.
[02:12:48.020 --> 02:12:52.020]  One of the most explicit statements from the Trump administration official about the desire for
[02:12:52.020 --> 02:12:54.020]  regime change.
[02:12:54.020 --> 02:12:56.020]  Notice how the lies about fentanyl are gone.
[02:12:56.020 --> 02:13:00.020]  Trump's not talking about fentanyl coming from Canada anymore.
[02:13:00.020 --> 02:13:03.020]  He's not talking about fentanyl coming from Venezuela.
[02:13:03.020 --> 02:13:06.020]  We just got to get this guy out of there so we can have the oil.
[02:13:06.220 --> 02:13:12.220]  Trump officials have tried to frame the tanker seizures as some sort of law enforcement operation.
[02:13:12.220 --> 02:13:18.220]  But the U.S. has no legal right to capture ships in international waters, regardless
[02:13:18.220 --> 02:13:20.220]  of whether the vessels are under U.S. sanctions.
[02:13:20.220 --> 02:13:27.220]  Trump has said the U.S. plans to keep the oil and the tankers, which amounts to outright theft.
[02:13:27.220 --> 02:13:34.220]  Well, why wouldn't we think that our government, our kleptocracy, would not do that after you
[02:13:34.420 --> 02:13:40.420]  look at years and years of civil asset forfeiture, where they steal property.
[02:13:40.420 --> 02:13:44.420]  They don't do it after they've convicted you of a crime.
[02:13:44.420 --> 02:13:46.420]  They don't even charge you with a crime.
[02:13:46.420 --> 02:13:48.420]  But they charge your property with a crime.
[02:13:48.420 --> 02:13:51.420]  And we saw the same rhetoric.
[02:13:51.420 --> 02:13:56.420]  I think most people who don't pay any attention to civil asset forfeiture didn't really notice
[02:13:56.420 --> 02:13:58.420]  the fact that, well, this is a criminal tanker.
[02:13:58.420 --> 02:14:00.420]  This has been going here and going there.
[02:14:00.420 --> 02:14:02.420]  It's been violating sanctions.
[02:14:02.620 --> 02:14:04.620]  So the tanker itself was a criminal.
[02:14:04.620 --> 02:14:06.620]  It was arrested.
[02:14:06.620 --> 02:14:10.620]  And we're going to steal what it had in its pockets, millions of barrels of oil.
[02:14:10.620 --> 02:14:16.620]  Enforcing a naval blockade against a country is traditionally considered to be an act of war.
[02:14:16.620 --> 02:14:20.620]  That, of course, would require authorization by Congress under the Constitution,
[02:14:20.620 --> 02:14:23.620]  if we were going to pay any attention to the Constitution.
[02:14:23.620 --> 02:14:27.620]  Last week, the House voted on the War Powers Resolution,
[02:14:27.820 --> 02:14:33.820]  meant to block Trump from launching a war with Venezuela without Congressional authorization.
[02:14:33.820 --> 02:14:37.820]  But it failed in a vote 211 to 213.
[02:14:37.820 --> 02:14:39.820]  So think about this.
[02:14:39.820 --> 02:14:46.820]  We have the 10th Amendment and we have, well, the 9th Amendment, I should say,
[02:14:46.820 --> 02:14:52.820]  that says that if you don't have any powers explicitly given you, you can't infer these.
[02:14:53.020 --> 02:14:56.020]  And so everything is prohibited to the federal government,
[02:14:56.020 --> 02:14:58.020]  unless it is explicitly authorized.
[02:14:58.020 --> 02:15:00.020]  They have turned that the other way around.
[02:15:00.020 --> 02:15:02.020]  Everything, we can do whatever we want,
[02:15:02.020 --> 02:15:05.020]  unless it is explicitly prohibited.
[02:15:05.020 --> 02:15:10.020]  And even then, we'll do it and then we'll see if you can beat us in court.
[02:15:10.020 --> 02:15:12.020]  This is the same thing with this.
[02:15:12.020 --> 02:15:15.020]  So instead of having a declaration of war,
[02:15:15.020 --> 02:15:19.020]  we now require a declaration of peace,
[02:15:19.220 --> 02:15:23.220]  because we're at permanent war with everybody about everything.
[02:15:23.220 --> 02:15:25.220]  That's really what's happening here.
[02:15:25.220 --> 02:15:28.220]  They tried to stop him from a war rather than saying,
[02:15:28.220 --> 02:15:31.220]  wait a minute, you don't have the authority to go to war
[02:15:31.220 --> 02:15:33.220]  without a declaration from Congress.
[02:15:33.220 --> 02:15:36.220]  So the Trump blockade is leaving about a billion dollars worth
[02:15:36.220 --> 02:15:39.220]  of Venezuelan crude oil stranded on tankers.
[02:15:39.220 --> 02:15:44.220]  We estimate that there's about 17.5 million barrels of crude oil
[02:15:44.220 --> 02:15:47.220]  floating on board tankers in Venezuela,
[02:15:47.420 --> 02:15:50.420]  which are unable to depart due to the ongoing U.S. blockade.
[02:15:50.420 --> 02:15:54.420]  That's around $900 million worth of oil.
[02:15:54.420 --> 02:16:00.420]  This is coming from an organization called Tanker Trackers.
[02:16:00.420 --> 02:16:05.420]  And these are questions on X about how long it would take
[02:16:05.420 --> 02:16:07.420]  for land-based oil and gas operations in Venezuela
[02:16:07.420 --> 02:16:10.420]  to become clogged due to the blockade.
[02:16:10.420 --> 02:16:13.420]  Chevron, listen to this,
[02:16:13.420 --> 02:16:16.420]  Chevron is still importing from Venezuela
[02:16:16.620 --> 02:16:19.620]  and it doesn't appear that it'll stop anytime soon,
[02:16:19.620 --> 02:16:22.620]  given that they are granted a waiver.
[02:16:25.620 --> 02:16:27.620]  Is there any question that this is piracy here?
[02:16:27.620 --> 02:16:31.620]  Is there any question that we're going to war for corporations?
[02:16:31.620 --> 02:16:36.620]  You know, this is corporate fascism on a scale for war.
[02:16:36.620 --> 02:16:39.620]  This is what Smedley Butler talked about.
[02:16:39.620 --> 02:16:42.620]  The U.S. has been doing this for a very long time.
[02:16:42.620 --> 02:16:45.620]  It used to be over fruit, now it's over oil.
[02:16:46.620 --> 02:16:53.620]  And so they can continue to take out oil, Chevron can,
[02:16:53.620 --> 02:16:58.620]  but we are going to shut down everything else.
[02:16:58.620 --> 02:17:01.620]  Our assessment, the gunboat diplomacy posture
[02:17:01.620 --> 02:17:05.620]  is designed to disrupt Venezuela and Cuban-China oil flows
[02:17:05.620 --> 02:17:08.620]  and China is furious and has war-gamed
[02:17:08.620 --> 02:17:11.620]  a potential conflict with the U.S. and the Caribbean.
[02:17:11.620 --> 02:17:13.620]  Well, we'll see about that.
[02:17:13.620 --> 02:17:15.620]  I think it's going to happen in Taiwan though, absolutely.
[02:17:15.820 --> 02:17:19.820]  Trump's expanded drug war will only make overdose crisis worse,
[02:17:19.820 --> 02:17:22.820]  say, experts, and this is from the Free Thought Project.
[02:17:22.820 --> 02:17:29.820]  They take the tact of the fact that the drug war is counterproductive
[02:17:29.820 --> 02:17:31.820]  and I absolutely agree with that,
[02:17:31.820 --> 02:17:33.820]  but they don't have a solution.
[02:17:33.820 --> 02:17:36.820]  In other words, their solution is,
[02:17:36.820 --> 02:17:39.820]  well, everything will be just fine if we just legalize it,
[02:17:39.820 --> 02:17:41.820]  that type of thing.
[02:17:41.820 --> 02:17:43.820]  No, the reality, as I've talked about before,
[02:17:44.020 --> 02:17:46.020]  is the fact that, you know,
[02:17:46.020 --> 02:17:49.020]  you've got people who are getting involved in drugs
[02:17:49.020 --> 02:17:53.020]  because there is a vacuum, a hole in their life
[02:17:53.020 --> 02:17:55.020]  that they're trying to fill with stuff
[02:17:55.020 --> 02:17:57.020]  and then they get addicted.
[02:17:57.020 --> 02:18:00.020]  And it's just not simple as,
[02:18:00.020 --> 02:18:02.020]  we'll just give them more drugs.
[02:18:02.020 --> 02:18:04.020]  It really is a spiritual issue,
[02:18:04.020 --> 02:18:06.020]  and as I pointed out before,
[02:18:06.020 --> 02:18:10.020]  we have, Matt Trujala came on and gave his testimony
[02:18:10.020 --> 02:18:12.020]  about how, as a teenager,
[02:18:12.220 --> 02:18:14.220]  he was involved in gangs,
[02:18:14.220 --> 02:18:18.220]  he got involved in using drugs and selling drugs.
[02:18:18.220 --> 02:18:20.220]  The thing that got him turned around
[02:18:20.220 --> 02:18:22.220]  was a Christian program.
[02:18:22.220 --> 02:18:25.220]  In his particular case, it was Teen Challenge,
[02:18:25.220 --> 02:18:27.220]  started by the guy that wrote the book,
[02:18:27.220 --> 02:18:29.220]  Crossing the Switchblade.
[02:18:29.220 --> 02:18:34.220]  But if you want a program that's going to be 87% successful,
[02:18:34.220 --> 02:18:37.220]  that's going to be a program that involves Christ
[02:18:37.220 --> 02:18:39.220]  and a conversion of these people
[02:18:39.420 --> 02:18:43.420]  who have, at the core, a spiritual issue.
[02:18:43.420 --> 02:18:45.420]  It's not going to be done militarily.
[02:18:45.420 --> 02:18:47.420]  It's not going to be done by force.
[02:18:47.420 --> 02:18:49.420]  It's not going to be done by militarized police
[02:18:49.420 --> 02:18:53.420]  or by the military being used as police.
[02:18:53.420 --> 02:18:55.420]  None of that's going to work.
[02:18:55.420 --> 02:18:57.420]  If you use their programs,
[02:18:57.420 --> 02:19:00.420]  you have a 97% chance,
[02:19:00.420 --> 02:19:03.420]  if you use the psychologists and these,
[02:19:03.420 --> 02:19:05.420]  you know, let's give them a different drug
[02:19:05.420 --> 02:19:07.420]  that's legal, and we'll get them addicted
[02:19:07.620 --> 02:19:09.620]  to the methadone instead of the heroin.
[02:19:09.620 --> 02:19:11.620]  If you use that type of approach,
[02:19:11.620 --> 02:19:13.620]  that is guaranteed to fail 97% of the time.
[02:19:13.620 --> 02:19:15.620]  So which approach do you want to use
[02:19:15.620 --> 02:19:17.620]  if you want to do something about the drug issue?
[02:19:17.620 --> 02:19:20.620]  Do you want to use the one that is 87% successful
[02:19:20.620 --> 02:19:24.620]  or the one that is a 97% failure?
[02:19:24.620 --> 02:19:28.620]  And I would say that
[02:19:28.620 --> 02:19:30.620]  when you look at
[02:19:30.620 --> 02:19:32.620]  using force,
[02:19:32.620 --> 02:19:35.620]  law enforcement or now the military
[02:19:35.820 --> 02:19:37.820]  to create prohibition,
[02:19:37.820 --> 02:19:40.820]  that has a 100% failure rate.
[02:19:40.820 --> 02:19:42.820]  Why has the drug addiction issue
[02:19:42.820 --> 02:19:45.820]  become much worse in 50 years?
[02:19:45.820 --> 02:19:47.820]  It's become much worse
[02:19:47.820 --> 02:19:49.820]  because of the spiritual issues in our country.
[02:19:49.820 --> 02:19:51.820]  But the drug war
[02:19:51.820 --> 02:19:54.820]  has made our government much worse.
[02:19:54.820 --> 02:19:56.820]  It's gotten them addicted
[02:19:56.820 --> 02:19:59.820]  to being able to do whatever they wish
[02:19:59.820 --> 02:20:01.820]  with that regard to the Constitution
[02:20:01.820 --> 02:20:02.820]  or the Bill of Rights.
[02:20:02.820 --> 02:20:04.820]  Trump issued an executive order on Monday
[02:20:05.020 --> 02:20:07.020]  declaring fentanyl a weapon of mass destruction.
[02:20:07.020 --> 02:20:09.020]  Experts say that fentanyl
[02:20:09.020 --> 02:20:11.020]  is not used as a weapon
[02:20:11.020 --> 02:20:13.020]  and they dismiss the order
[02:20:13.020 --> 02:20:15.020]  as public relations ploy
[02:20:15.020 --> 02:20:17.020]  as the administration struggles
[02:20:17.020 --> 02:20:19.020]  to explain some kind of legal justification
[02:20:19.020 --> 02:20:21.020]  for waging war without Congress's approval.
[02:20:21.020 --> 02:20:23.020]  It is the latest line
[02:20:23.020 --> 02:20:25.020]  in a series of massive escalations
[02:20:25.020 --> 02:20:27.020]  in Trump's drug war.
[02:20:27.020 --> 02:20:29.020]  Again,
[02:20:29.020 --> 02:20:31.020]  fake fentanyl claims
[02:20:31.020 --> 02:20:33.020]  just like the fake claims
[02:20:33.220 --> 02:20:35.220]  that he made about Canada,
[02:20:35.220 --> 02:20:37.220]  just like the fake emergencies
[02:20:37.220 --> 02:20:39.220]  that he used to claim the authority
[02:20:39.220 --> 02:20:41.220]  to be a dictator with COVID.
[02:20:41.220 --> 02:20:43.220]  Fentanyl
[02:20:43.220 --> 02:20:45.220]  or FENT or FETI
[02:20:45.220 --> 02:20:47.220]  these are all catch-all terms
[02:20:47.220 --> 02:20:49.220]  for classes of synthetic opioids
[02:20:49.220 --> 02:20:51.220]  typically produced in Mexico, not Venezuela.
[02:20:51.220 --> 02:20:53.220]  They replaced heroin
[02:20:53.220 --> 02:20:55.220]  and prescription painkillers
[02:20:55.220 --> 02:20:57.220]  like Oxycontin
[02:20:57.220 --> 02:20:59.220]  as law enforcement intervened
[02:20:59.220 --> 02:21:01.220]  in the illicit drug supply.
[02:21:02.020 --> 02:21:04.020]  As they crack down
[02:21:04.020 --> 02:21:06.020]  the more they crack down
[02:21:06.020 --> 02:21:08.020]  the more you get concentrated forms of it
[02:21:08.020 --> 02:21:10.020]  we've seen this happen both with this
[02:21:10.020 --> 02:21:12.020]  as well as with alcohol.
[02:21:12.020 --> 02:21:14.020]  As a matter of fact, the WHO
[02:21:14.020 --> 02:21:16.020]  was talking about
[02:21:16.020 --> 02:21:18.020]  what a problem alcohol has become
[02:21:18.020 --> 02:21:20.020]  in Europe.
[02:21:20.020 --> 02:21:22.020]  Why is that?
[02:21:22.020 --> 02:21:24.020]  Again, this is all going back to a spiritual issue.
[02:21:24.020 --> 02:21:26.020]  I think it is
[02:21:26.020 --> 02:21:28.020]  the general malaise that is happening
[02:21:28.020 --> 02:21:30.020]  throughout the EU
[02:21:30.020 --> 02:21:32.020]  as well as the UK.
[02:21:32.020 --> 02:21:34.020]  You see pictures all through the year
[02:21:34.020 --> 02:21:36.020]  of people saying
[02:21:36.020 --> 02:21:38.020]  this is Brighton
[02:21:38.020 --> 02:21:40.020]  or whatever, some town in the UK
[02:21:40.020 --> 02:21:42.020]  and it's young people
[02:21:42.020 --> 02:21:44.020]  that are out in the middle of the night
[02:21:44.020 --> 02:21:46.020]  especially young girls
[02:21:46.020 --> 02:21:48.020]  completely drunk, laying in the ground
[02:21:48.020 --> 02:21:50.020]  laying in the gutter literally.
[02:21:50.020 --> 02:21:52.020]  This is the type of thing
[02:21:52.020 --> 02:21:54.020]  that we saw in Russia.
[02:21:54.020 --> 02:21:56.020]  Vodka became a very
[02:21:56.020 --> 02:21:58.020]  big deal because
[02:21:58.020 --> 02:22:00.020]  it was basically locked down in slaves.
[02:22:00.020 --> 02:22:02.020]  When you look at what the government
[02:22:02.020 --> 02:22:04.020]  is doing with the TSA
[02:22:04.020 --> 02:22:06.020]  when you look at what the government is doing
[02:22:06.020 --> 02:22:08.020]  in terms of shutting down our lives
[02:22:08.020 --> 02:22:10.020]  and micromanaging everything
[02:22:10.020 --> 02:22:12.020]  people instinctively get that.
[02:22:12.020 --> 02:22:14.020]  Some people react by just trying to escape
[02:22:14.020 --> 02:22:16.020]  through a bottle or through drugs.
[02:22:16.020 --> 02:22:18.020]  And this is what's happening a great deal
[02:22:18.020 --> 02:22:20.020]  people who see that they have no future.
[02:22:20.020 --> 02:22:22.020]  The dangerous thing is going to be
[02:22:22.020 --> 02:22:24.020]  that some people are going to see they have no future
[02:22:24.020 --> 02:22:26.020]  unless they get the government out of the way.
[02:22:26.020 --> 02:22:28.020]  And that's when they're going to start the violence.
[02:22:28.020 --> 02:22:30.020]  At this point in time
[02:22:30.020 --> 02:22:32.020]  people in Europe are basically
[02:22:32.020 --> 02:22:34.020]  reacting the same way
[02:22:34.020 --> 02:22:36.020]  the people under the Soviets reacted
[02:22:36.020 --> 02:22:38.020]  and just trying to
[02:22:38.020 --> 02:22:40.020]  escape the society
[02:22:40.020 --> 02:22:42.020]  by getting into the bottle.
[02:22:42.020 --> 02:22:44.020]  And that's what's happening all across Europe
[02:22:44.020 --> 02:22:46.020]  as people's opportunities
[02:22:46.020 --> 02:22:48.020]  are being taken away
[02:22:48.020 --> 02:22:50.020]  as the government is cracking down
[02:22:50.020 --> 02:22:52.020]  on all aspects of their life
[02:22:52.020 --> 02:22:54.020]  and taking away their ability
[02:22:54.020 --> 02:22:56.020]  to have a future.
[02:22:56.020 --> 02:22:58.020]  People are just indulging in this.
[02:22:58.020 --> 02:23:00.020]  A harsh crackdown on painkiller
[02:23:00.020 --> 02:23:02.020]  prescribing in the US
[02:23:02.020 --> 02:23:04.020]  and the rise of fentanyl over the past 15 years
[02:23:04.020 --> 02:23:06.020]  is associated with a surge in fatal
[02:23:06.020 --> 02:23:08.020]  overdoses that peaked during the
[02:23:08.020 --> 02:23:10.020]  COVID-19 pandemic. Again
[02:23:10.020 --> 02:23:12.020]  when they took away everything, what happens?
[02:23:12.020 --> 02:23:14.020]  People turn to drugs or alcohol
[02:23:14.020 --> 02:23:16.020]  or whatever
[02:23:16.020 --> 02:23:18.020]  because they're
[02:23:18.020 --> 02:23:20.020]  powerless to do anything about it.
[02:23:20.020 --> 02:23:22.020]  It has long provided fodder for political
[02:23:22.020 --> 02:23:24.020]  fear-mongering. However
[02:23:24.020 --> 02:23:26.020]  from 2023 to 2024
[02:23:26.020 --> 02:23:28.020]  the CDC recorded a nearly
[02:23:28.020 --> 02:23:30.020]  24% decrease
[02:23:30.020 --> 02:23:32.020]  in overdose deaths
[02:23:32.020 --> 02:23:34.020]  linked to opioids, stimulants,
[02:23:34.020 --> 02:23:36.020]  alcohol and other drugs
[02:23:36.020 --> 02:23:38.020]  a remarkable decline after more than a
[02:23:38.020 --> 02:23:40.020]  decade of crisis.
[02:23:40.020 --> 02:23:42.020]  So as the government got its boot
[02:23:42.020 --> 02:23:44.020]  off of our throats
[02:23:44.020 --> 02:23:46.020]  and people were able to get out
[02:23:46.020 --> 02:23:48.020]  and have a life, guess what?
[02:23:48.020 --> 02:23:50.020]  It started to go down.
[02:23:50.020 --> 02:23:52.020]  And the same thing has happened in Russia
[02:23:52.020 --> 02:23:54.020]  after the Soviet Union
[02:23:54.020 --> 02:23:56.020]  fell. Guess what?
[02:23:56.020 --> 02:23:58.020]  The rates of alcoholism there have gone way down as well.
[02:23:58.020 --> 02:24:00.020]  It is a
[02:24:00.020 --> 02:24:02.020]  reaction just like the way people dress at the airports
[02:24:02.020 --> 02:24:04.020]  a reaction to
[02:24:04.020 --> 02:24:06.020]  government tyranny.
[02:24:06.020 --> 02:24:08.020]  If we really wanted to address
[02:24:08.020 --> 02:24:10.020]  drug use we would start investing in
[02:24:10.020 --> 02:24:12.020]  HHS, which is being
[02:24:12.020 --> 02:24:14.020]  decimated under Trump. No, I disagree
[02:24:14.020 --> 02:24:16.020]  with this. This is
[02:24:16.020 --> 02:24:18.020]  it isn't that, you know, well we just need to give
[02:24:18.020 --> 02:24:20.020]  people more welfare and set up
[02:24:20.020 --> 02:24:22.020]  more government programs. No, that's not the answer.
[02:24:22.020 --> 02:24:24.020]  The answer is that this is a
[02:24:24.020 --> 02:24:26.020]  spiritual problem and has a spiritual
[02:24:26.020 --> 02:24:28.020]  solution. Hey, it's Ben Ferguson
[02:24:28.020 --> 02:24:30.020]  and I want you to pause what you're
[02:24:30.020 --> 02:24:32.020]  doing for just one minute and I want
[02:24:32.020 --> 02:24:34.020]  you to hear about Alejandra.
[02:24:34.020 --> 02:24:36.020]  She lives in a remote community
[02:24:36.020 --> 02:24:38.020]  with very few resources
[02:24:38.020 --> 02:24:40.020]  and little to no health care.
[02:24:40.020 --> 02:24:42.020]  So when Alejandra gets sick
[02:24:42.020 --> 02:24:44.020]  her parents have no real options
[02:24:44.020 --> 02:24:46.020]  no doctors in their
[02:24:46.020 --> 02:24:48.020]  community and no money
[02:24:48.020 --> 02:24:50.020]  for real medical care.
[02:24:50.020 --> 02:24:52.020]  By the third day her body was
[02:24:52.020 --> 02:24:54.020]  shutting down. She woke up and
[02:24:54.020 --> 02:24:56.020]  just long enough to tell her mom
[02:24:56.020 --> 02:24:58.020]  I can't take the pain
[02:24:58.020 --> 02:25:00.020]  anymore. I can't keep going.
[02:25:00.020 --> 02:25:02.020]  Her parents drove
[02:25:02.020 --> 02:25:04.020]  hours to find a doctor who tried
[02:25:04.020 --> 02:25:06.020]  everything but she needed a
[02:25:06.020 --> 02:25:08.020]  private hospital and that was
[02:25:08.020 --> 02:25:10.020]  impossible for her family to
[02:25:10.020 --> 02:25:12.020]  afford and that is when
[02:25:12.020 --> 02:25:14.020]  Compassion International stepped
[02:25:14.020 --> 02:25:16.020]  in. Now through Compassion
[02:25:16.020 --> 02:25:18.020]  Alejandra was treated
[02:25:18.020 --> 02:25:20.020]  and against all odds she
[02:25:20.020 --> 02:25:22.020]  survived. She lived because
[02:25:22.020 --> 02:25:24.020]  someone just like you took
[02:25:24.020 --> 02:25:26.020]  action. Right now
[02:25:26.020 --> 02:25:28.020]  unfortunately there are children just like
[02:25:28.020 --> 02:25:30.020]  Alejandra who won't survive
[02:25:30.020 --> 02:25:32.020]  unless someone like you steps in.
[02:25:32.020 --> 02:25:34.020]  Compassion International
[02:25:34.020 --> 02:25:36.020]  partners with local churches
[02:25:36.020 --> 02:25:38.020]  providing children with the support
[02:25:38.020 --> 02:25:40.020]  that they need. Critical
[02:25:40.020 --> 02:25:42.020]  medical care plus food,
[02:25:42.020 --> 02:25:44.020]  education and the hope
[02:25:44.020 --> 02:25:46.020]  of the gospel. All
[02:25:46.020 --> 02:25:48.020]  in Jesus name. So help
[02:25:48.020 --> 02:25:50.020]  a child just like Alejandra
[02:25:50.020 --> 02:25:52.020]  today. You can visit
[02:25:52.020 --> 02:25:54.020]  Compassion.com. That's

[02:26:12.020 --> 02:26:28.020]  Well as I
[02:26:28.020 --> 02:26:30.020]  said before, the general
[02:26:30.020 --> 02:26:32.020]  who is in charge of NORTHCOM
[02:26:32.020 --> 02:26:34.020]  which is over
[02:26:34.020 --> 02:26:36.020]  the US
[02:26:36.020 --> 02:26:38.020]  says that he is willing to authorize
[02:26:38.020 --> 02:26:40.020]  a tax on US soil.
[02:26:40.020 --> 02:26:42.020]  This is General Gregory
[02:26:42.020 --> 02:26:44.020]  Guilleau I guess
[02:26:44.020 --> 02:26:46.020]  is how he pronounced his name.
[02:26:46.020 --> 02:26:48.020]  Guilleau of US
[02:26:48.020 --> 02:26:50.020]  Northern Command during hearings when asked by
[02:26:50.020 --> 02:26:52.020]  Senator Jack Reed, a Democrat,
[02:26:52.020 --> 02:26:54.020]  if he would be willing to carry out orders to
[02:26:54.020 --> 02:26:56.020]  attack so-called designated
[02:26:56.020 --> 02:26:58.020]  terrorist organizations within
[02:26:58.020 --> 02:27:00.020]  US borders.
[02:27:00.020 --> 02:27:02.020]  General Guilleau
[02:27:02.020 --> 02:27:04.020]  responded by saying, if I
[02:27:04.020 --> 02:27:06.020]  had questions I would elevate this to the chairman
[02:27:06.020 --> 02:27:08.020]  and secretary and if I had no concerns
[02:27:08.020 --> 02:27:10.020]  and I was confident that
[02:27:10.020 --> 02:27:12.020]  it was a lawful order I would definitely
[02:27:12.020 --> 02:27:14.020]  execute that order.
[02:27:14.020 --> 02:27:16.020]  Well it can't possibly be
[02:27:16.020 --> 02:27:18.020]  a lawful order. This is very much
[02:27:18.020 --> 02:27:20.020]  like the interaction
[02:27:20.020 --> 02:27:22.020]  that
[02:27:22.020 --> 02:27:24.020]  Sessions had with Leon
[02:27:24.020 --> 02:27:26.020]  Panetta.
[02:27:26.020 --> 02:27:28.020]  Leon Panetta was asked as
[02:27:28.020 --> 02:27:30.020]  Secretary of Defense by
[02:27:30.020 --> 02:27:32.020]  Sessions. Sessions said
[02:27:32.020 --> 02:27:34.020]  you're not going to put troops in Syria without telling
[02:27:34.020 --> 02:27:36.020]  Congress and having to vote on this, right?
[02:27:36.020 --> 02:27:38.020]  Well Senator, we will consult
[02:27:38.020 --> 02:27:40.020]  with our allies in NATO
[02:27:40.020 --> 02:27:42.020]  and the UN and we'll let you
[02:27:42.020 --> 02:27:44.020]  know what we're going to do. That's
[02:27:44.020 --> 02:27:46.020]  basically what this guy is saying. In other words
[02:27:46.020 --> 02:27:48.020]  I don't care what the Constitution says.
[02:27:48.020 --> 02:27:50.020]  That's what Leon Panetta said
[02:27:50.020 --> 02:27:52.020]  and that's what this guy under Trump
[02:27:52.020 --> 02:27:54.020]  is saying, the head of US
[02:27:54.020 --> 02:27:56.020]  Northern Command. The brazen
[02:27:56.020 --> 02:27:58.020]  openness of General Guilleau
[02:27:58.020 --> 02:28:00.020]  who receives his orders directly
[02:28:00.020 --> 02:28:02.020]  from Warpete
[02:28:02.020 --> 02:28:04.020]  to affirm such a willingness to carry
[02:28:04.020 --> 02:28:06.020]  out unprecedented military actions
[02:28:06.020 --> 02:28:08.020]  up to and including against
[02:28:08.020 --> 02:28:10.020]  US citizens on American
[02:28:10.020 --> 02:28:12.020]  soil should be cause
[02:28:12.020 --> 02:28:14.020]  for alarm, writes the Free Thought
[02:28:14.020 --> 02:28:16.020]  Project, and I agree with him.
[02:28:16.020 --> 02:28:18.020]  Some may look at
[02:28:18.020 --> 02:28:20.020]  the qualifier of his statements and
[02:28:20.020 --> 02:28:22.020]  saying, well, if I had no concerns
[02:28:22.020 --> 02:28:24.020]  and I was confident in the
[02:28:24.020 --> 02:28:26.020]  lawful order, they might
[02:28:26.020 --> 02:28:28.020]  think that that is somehow a
[02:28:28.020 --> 02:28:30.020]  buffer against abuse, but
[02:28:30.020 --> 02:28:32.020]  it bears reminding
[02:28:32.020 --> 02:28:34.020]  the frequency with which this administration
[02:28:34.020 --> 02:28:36.020]  has shown a blatant
[02:28:36.020 --> 02:28:38.020]  disregard for the rule of law
[02:28:38.020 --> 02:28:40.020]  while simultaneously
[02:28:40.020 --> 02:28:42.020]  advancing openly hostile rhetoric
[02:28:42.020 --> 02:28:44.020]  towards huge swaths of the American public
[02:28:44.020 --> 02:28:46.020]  referring to millions of
[02:28:46.020 --> 02:28:48.020]  average Americans as the enemy within
[02:28:48.020 --> 02:28:50.020]  for simply expressing dissent
[02:28:50.020 --> 02:28:52.020]  against the administration.
[02:28:52.020 --> 02:28:54.020]  General Guilleau is
[02:28:54.020 --> 02:28:56.020]  the authority who has personally
[02:28:56.020 --> 02:28:58.020]  overseen the illegal deployment
[02:28:58.020 --> 02:29:00.020]  of US military forces to occupy
[02:29:00.020 --> 02:29:02.020]  American cities, which have
[02:29:02.020 --> 02:29:04.020]  expressed opposition to the
[02:29:04.020 --> 02:29:06.020]  president's agenda throughout this year.
[02:29:06.020 --> 02:29:08.020]  It should also be considered that
[02:29:08.020 --> 02:29:10.020]  these statements come on the backdrop
[02:29:10.020 --> 02:29:12.020]  of a spate of extrajudicial
[02:29:12.020 --> 02:29:14.020]  executions at sea.
[02:29:14.020 --> 02:29:16.020]  Unconstitutionally
[02:29:16.020 --> 02:29:18.020]  murdered 90 individuals
[02:29:18.020 --> 02:29:20.020]  accused of being
[02:29:20.020 --> 02:29:22.020]  narco-terrorists without any
[02:29:22.020 --> 02:29:24.020]  proof, without any due process.
[02:29:24.020 --> 02:29:26.020]  So that's very concerning when you
[02:29:26.020 --> 02:29:28.020]  hear that coming from somebody
[02:29:28.020 --> 02:29:30.020]  saying, yeah, we'd do the same thing in the US.
[02:29:30.020 --> 02:29:32.020]  After the military has
[02:29:32.020 --> 02:29:34.020]  conducted 95 summary
[02:29:34.020 --> 02:29:36.020]  executions of civilians in the Caribbean
[02:29:36.020 --> 02:29:38.020]  at the direction of Trump
[02:29:38.020 --> 02:29:40.020]  and War Pete, it is not
[02:29:40.020 --> 02:29:42.020]  sufficient anymore for commanders to say
[02:29:42.020 --> 02:29:44.020]  to lawmakers that they will run
[02:29:44.020 --> 02:29:46.020]  any legal
[02:29:46.020 --> 02:29:48.020]  concerns up the chain, at the
[02:29:48.020 --> 02:29:50.020]  top, of which
[02:29:50.020 --> 02:29:52.020]  are those who would be giving the order.
[02:29:52.020 --> 02:29:54.020]  Rather, to make clear that they will uphold
[02:29:54.020 --> 02:29:56.020]  the rule of law, they should be definitive in
[02:29:56.020 --> 02:29:58.020]  saying that they will disobey
[02:29:58.020 --> 02:30:00.020]  patently unlawful orders,
[02:30:00.020 --> 02:30:02.020]  which includes a scenario
[02:30:02.020 --> 02:30:04.020]  that Senator Reid laid out for General
[02:30:04.020 --> 02:30:06.020]  Guiault. The notion of
[02:30:06.020 --> 02:30:08.020]  such action being taken within US borders
[02:30:08.020 --> 02:30:10.020]  presumably against US citizens
[02:30:10.020 --> 02:30:12.020]  should be taken with the utmost
[02:30:12.020 --> 02:30:14.020]  seriousness. Free Thought
[02:30:14.020 --> 02:30:16.020]  Project reported in September
[02:30:16.020 --> 02:30:18.020]  Trump's designation of
[02:30:18.020 --> 02:30:20.020]  this amorphous group Antifa
[02:30:20.020 --> 02:30:22.020]  as a terrorist
[02:30:22.020 --> 02:30:24.020]  organization, despite there being no formal
[02:30:24.020 --> 02:30:26.020]  organizational structure or
[02:30:26.020 --> 02:30:28.020]  leadership hierarchy, and
[02:30:28.020 --> 02:30:30.020]  the FBI being completely unable
[02:30:30.020 --> 02:30:32.020]  to specify what it even is.
[02:30:32.020 --> 02:30:34.020]  It's such a broad and vague designation
[02:30:34.020 --> 02:30:36.020]  that the administration could label
[02:30:36.020 --> 02:30:38.020]  practically anyone as a
[02:30:38.020 --> 02:30:40.020]  terrorist. And this is what conservatives
[02:30:40.020 --> 02:30:42.020]  missed in the No Kings
[02:30:42.020 --> 02:30:44.020]  protest, when people were out there wearing t-shirts
[02:30:44.020 --> 02:30:46.020]  saying, I am Antifa.
[02:30:46.020 --> 02:30:48.020]  What they were saying was, this is an arbitrary
[02:30:48.020 --> 02:30:50.020]  declaration
[02:30:50.020 --> 02:30:52.020]  levied at an organization that doesn't have
[02:30:52.020 --> 02:30:54.020]  any formal structures. How do you determine
[02:30:54.020 --> 02:30:56.020]  that somebody is in it, definitively?
[02:30:56.020 --> 02:30:58.020]  And
[02:30:58.020 --> 02:31:00.020]  not make mistakes about this.
[02:31:00.020 --> 02:31:02.020]  Especially when you have a government
[02:31:02.020 --> 02:31:04.020]  an administration like the Trump administration
[02:31:04.020 --> 02:31:06.020]  that is famous for shooting from the hip.
[02:31:06.020 --> 02:31:08.020]  We're not going to
[02:31:08.020 --> 02:31:10.020]  really investigate this
[02:31:10.020 --> 02:31:12.020]  thoroughly. We're not going to give
[02:31:12.020 --> 02:31:14.020]  anybody any due process. We just fire the
[02:31:14.020 --> 02:31:16.020]  missile. Pam
[02:31:16.020 --> 02:31:18.020]  Bondi has directed the FBI to compile a
[02:31:18.020 --> 02:31:20.020]  list of groups or entities engaging
[02:31:20.020 --> 02:31:22.020]  in acts that constitute domestic
[02:31:22.020 --> 02:31:24.020]  terrorism. Do you remember, you may not
[02:31:24.020 --> 02:31:26.020]  like Antifa? I don't like Antifa either.
[02:31:26.020 --> 02:31:28.020]  I mean, hateful Marxists
[02:31:28.020 --> 02:31:30.020]  when we've had interactions with them.
[02:31:30.020 --> 02:31:32.020]  They stand there and scream racist
[02:31:32.020 --> 02:31:34.020]  at you. I mean, when they were screaming
[02:31:34.020 --> 02:31:36.020]  at Karen and my daughter,
[02:31:36.020 --> 02:31:38.020]  they said, I said to Karen
[02:31:38.020 --> 02:31:40.020]  at the abortion clinic, they said, oh, so you're
[02:31:40.020 --> 02:31:42.020]  some white savior or something like that.
[02:31:42.020 --> 02:31:44.020]  What's wrong with being
[02:31:44.020 --> 02:31:46.020]  white and what's wrong with being a savior?
[02:31:46.020 --> 02:31:48.020]  Since when is that
[02:31:48.020 --> 02:31:50.020]  a bad thing? You know, he says, I kill
[02:31:50.020 --> 02:31:52.020]  my kids. Remember that clip?
[02:31:52.020 --> 02:31:54.020]  Yeah, you try to save kids. I kill
[02:31:54.020 --> 02:31:56.020]  my kids. I have an evil,
[02:31:56.020 --> 02:31:58.020]  hateful people. Nevertheless,
[02:31:58.020 --> 02:32:00.020]  you know,
[02:32:00.020 --> 02:32:02.020]  there has to be a rule of law,
[02:32:02.020 --> 02:32:04.020]  a process that we go through.
[02:32:04.020 --> 02:32:06.020]  And
[02:32:06.020 --> 02:32:08.020]  just to label these people,
[02:32:08.020 --> 02:32:10.020]  start compiling a list.
[02:32:10.020 --> 02:32:12.020]  Understand that what's
[02:32:12.020 --> 02:32:14.020]  going to happen when you get somebody like Hillary or Biden
[02:32:14.020 --> 02:32:16.020]  and after Trump has set
[02:32:16.020 --> 02:32:18.020]  this precedent and moved it further
[02:32:18.020 --> 02:32:20.020]  down the road, are you going to be on
[02:32:20.020 --> 02:32:22.020]  his list? I mean, you've already been called
[02:32:22.020 --> 02:32:24.020]  terrorists
[02:32:24.020 --> 02:32:26.020]  for opposing all this
[02:32:26.020 --> 02:32:28.020]  pandemic stuff and everything
[02:32:28.020 --> 02:32:30.020]  and climate change and all the rest of this.
[02:32:30.020 --> 02:32:32.020]  I mean, if you oppose the climate change
[02:32:32.020 --> 02:32:34.020]  agenda, oh, you're going to kill
[02:32:34.020 --> 02:32:36.020]  everybody, right? Same thing with the pandemic.
[02:32:36.020 --> 02:32:38.020]  These other MacGuffins.
[02:32:38.020 --> 02:32:40.020]  I was labeled a sociopath
[02:32:40.020 --> 02:32:42.020]  by Scott Adams
[02:32:42.020 --> 02:32:44.020]  for saying that he says these freedom
[02:32:44.020 --> 02:32:46.020]  lovers are indistinguishable from
[02:32:46.020 --> 02:32:48.020]  sociopaths. This
[02:32:48.020 --> 02:32:50.020]  is the way people who support Trump think.
[02:32:50.020 --> 02:32:52.020]  And so,
[02:32:52.020 --> 02:32:54.020]  the presidential memorandum,
[02:32:54.020 --> 02:32:56.020]  the NSPM 7,
[02:32:56.020 --> 02:32:58.020]  target those expressing
[02:32:58.020 --> 02:33:00.020]  opposition, quote, opposition to law
[02:33:00.020 --> 02:33:02.020]  and immigration enforcement,
[02:33:02.020 --> 02:33:04.020]  who have extreme views in favor
[02:33:04.020 --> 02:33:06.020]  of mass migration and open borders,
[02:33:06.020 --> 02:33:08.020]  and adherence to
[02:33:08.020 --> 02:33:10.020]  radical gender ideology, as well
[02:33:10.020 --> 02:33:12.020]  as anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism
[02:33:12.020 --> 02:33:14.020]  and anti-Christianity.
[02:33:14.020 --> 02:33:16.020]  So I could see this
[02:33:16.020 --> 02:33:18.020]  just being flipped, this script.
[02:33:18.020 --> 02:33:20.020]  So you're anti-DEI, are
[02:33:20.020 --> 02:33:22.020]  you? Are you anti-LGBT?
[02:33:22.020 --> 02:33:24.020]  Are you homophobic?
[02:33:24.020 --> 02:33:26.020]  Are you
[02:33:26.020 --> 02:33:28.020]  not in favor
[02:33:28.020 --> 02:33:30.020]  of humanitarian
[02:33:30.020 --> 02:33:32.020]  immigration? Well, then
[02:33:32.020 --> 02:33:34.020]  you are a dangerous extremist,
[02:33:34.020 --> 02:33:36.020]  a terrorist. I'm going to put you on the list.
[02:33:36.020 --> 02:33:38.020]  Think about that.
[02:33:38.020 --> 02:33:40.020]  That's why we have the rule of law.
[02:33:40.020 --> 02:33:42.020]  This blatant unconstitutional
[02:33:42.020 --> 02:33:44.020]  order, pretty much any
[02:33:44.020 --> 02:33:46.020]  and everyone who isn't
[02:33:46.020 --> 02:33:48.020]  MAGA, is on the risk
[02:33:48.020 --> 02:33:50.020]  of potentially being labeled a domestic terror
[02:33:50.020 --> 02:33:52.020]  threat. And once we
[02:33:52.020 --> 02:33:54.020]  do that, pretty much anybody who
[02:33:54.020 --> 02:33:56.020]  is not a
[02:33:56.020 --> 02:33:58.020]  supporter of an administration
[02:33:58.020 --> 02:34:00.020]  is now a terrorist threat.
[02:34:00.020 --> 02:34:02.020]  And that script will flip
[02:34:02.020 --> 02:34:04.020]  when control
[02:34:04.020 --> 02:34:06.020]  of the government goes back to the Democrats.
[02:34:06.020 --> 02:34:08.020]  They will keep that, just as
[02:34:08.020 --> 02:34:10.020]  Lala Harris said she was going to
[02:34:10.020 --> 02:34:12.020]  keep Trump's gun control by executive
[02:34:12.020 --> 02:34:14.020]  order, and Biden did keep it,
[02:34:14.020 --> 02:34:16.020]  and started doing gun control by executive order.
[02:34:16.020 --> 02:34:18.020]  Whenever Trump lays down these precedents,
[02:34:18.020 --> 02:34:20.020]  they will be used
[02:34:20.020 --> 02:34:22.020]  by authoritarian criminals
[02:34:22.020 --> 02:34:24.020]  on the other side, and they'll be used against you.
[02:34:24.020 --> 02:34:26.020]  So don't cheer this.
[02:34:26.020 --> 02:34:28.020]  Don't tell me... Hey, it's
[02:34:28.020 --> 02:34:30.020]  Ben Ferguson, and I want to be
[02:34:30.020 --> 02:34:32.020]  honest with you for a second, about how
[02:34:32.020 --> 02:34:34.020]  an act of compassion really feels.
[02:34:34.020 --> 02:34:36.020]  A couple of years ago, I made the
[02:34:36.020 --> 02:34:38.020]  choice to partner with an amazing
[02:34:38.020 --> 02:34:40.020]  organization called Compassion International.
[02:34:40.020 --> 02:34:42.020]  Why?
[02:34:42.020 --> 02:34:44.020]  Because I wanted to sponsor a child
[02:34:44.020 --> 02:34:46.020]  in need. It was a nice
[02:34:46.020 --> 02:34:48.020]  idea, sure, but I had no
[02:34:48.020 --> 02:34:50.020]  idea just how much that simple
[02:34:50.020 --> 02:34:52.020]  act would change my life
[02:34:52.020 --> 02:34:54.020]  as well. I sponsored Nadia
[02:34:54.020 --> 02:34:56.020]  and got to watch her life
[02:34:56.020 --> 02:34:58.020]  change right in front of my eyes,
[02:34:58.020 --> 02:35:00.020]  going from starving, literally
[02:35:00.020 --> 02:35:02.020]  alone on the streets, to
[02:35:02.020 --> 02:35:04.020]  getting the health care and education
[02:35:04.020 --> 02:35:06.020]  she needs to reach her
[02:35:06.020 --> 02:35:08.020]  God-given full potential.
[02:35:08.020 --> 02:35:10.020]  I got to be a part of that change,
[02:35:10.020 --> 02:35:12.020]  and the light of that compassion
[02:35:12.020 --> 02:35:14.020]  not only illuminates in her,
[02:35:14.020 --> 02:35:16.020]  it illuminates now in me.
[02:35:16.020 --> 02:35:18.020]  That is the power of compassion.
[02:35:18.020 --> 02:35:20.020]  The light of Christ
[02:35:20.020 --> 02:35:22.020]  shines on all of us.
[02:35:22.020 --> 02:35:24.020]  Feel it for yourself,
[02:35:24.020 --> 02:35:26.020]  and change literally a child's life.
[02:35:26.020 --> 02:35:28.020]  Change the world, and you
[02:35:28.020 --> 02:35:30.020]  also change yourself. You can
[02:35:30.020 --> 02:35:32.020]  sponsor a child today. Visit
[02:35:32.020 --> 02:35:34.020]  compassion.com.
[02:35:34.020 --> 02:35:36.020]  That's compassion.com.

[02:36:08.020 --> 02:36:10.020]  You voted for this.
[02:36:10.020 --> 02:36:12.020]  Go stick your head in the noose.
[02:36:12.020 --> 02:36:14.020]  That's what you're doing anyway. Trump
[02:36:14.020 --> 02:36:16.020]  has previously hinted at using
[02:36:16.020 --> 02:36:18.020]  the military domestically
[02:36:18.020 --> 02:36:20.020]  to quell opposition from his dissenters
[02:36:20.020 --> 02:36:22.020]  while refusing to acknowledge whether
[02:36:22.020 --> 02:36:24.020]  or not it has ruled out the use of
[02:36:24.020 --> 02:36:26.020]  summary executions of those that it has labeled
[02:36:26.020 --> 02:36:28.020]  enemies on the aforementioned
[02:36:28.020 --> 02:36:30.020]  watch list.
[02:36:30.020 --> 02:36:32.020]  Trump has also recently accused a number of
[02:36:32.020 --> 02:36:34.020]  senators, all former military personnel of
[02:36:34.020 --> 02:36:36.020]  sedition, suggested that they be
[02:36:36.020 --> 02:36:38.020]  executed for their collective effort
[02:36:38.020 --> 02:36:40.020]  to release a statement reminding active
[02:36:40.020 --> 02:36:42.020]  duty members of their responsibility
[02:36:42.020 --> 02:36:44.020]  to remain faithful to their oath to the
[02:36:44.020 --> 02:36:46.020]  Constitution. Over the last
[02:36:46.020 --> 02:36:48.020]  several decades,
[02:36:48.020 --> 02:36:50.020]  preparations have been quietly been made
[02:36:50.020 --> 02:36:52.020]  simultaneously with the militarization
[02:36:52.020 --> 02:36:54.020]  of law enforcement
[02:36:54.020 --> 02:36:56.020]  readying the military for potential
[02:36:56.020 --> 02:36:58.020]  deployments against American citizens
[02:36:58.020 --> 02:37:00.020]  domestically. I was talking about this
[02:37:00.020 --> 02:37:02.020]  all the time back in 2013
[02:37:02.020 --> 02:37:04.020]  and 14 with Obama.
[02:37:04.020 --> 02:37:06.020]  That's why we went to
[02:37:06.020 --> 02:37:08.020]  Fort A.P. Hill where they were doing the asymmetric
[02:37:08.020 --> 02:37:10.020]  warfare training. Because
[02:37:10.020 --> 02:37:12.020]  they were militarizing the police
[02:37:12.020 --> 02:37:14.020]  and they were training the military
[02:37:14.020 --> 02:37:16.020]  to operate inside of cities.
[02:37:16.020 --> 02:37:18.020]  Everybody was concerned about that when
[02:37:18.020 --> 02:37:20.020]  it was being done by Obama, but now
[02:37:20.020 --> 02:37:22.020]  everybody I say conservatives, but now the
[02:37:22.020 --> 02:37:24.020]  conservatives are just fine that
[02:37:24.020 --> 02:37:26.020]  the baton has been picked up
[02:37:26.020 --> 02:37:28.020]  by Trump and he's carrying
[02:37:28.020 --> 02:37:30.020]  it across perhaps to the finish line.
[02:37:30.020 --> 02:37:32.020]  Trump's ability
[02:37:32.020 --> 02:37:34.020]  to wield these terrifying powers
[02:37:34.020 --> 02:37:36.020]  did not appear
[02:37:36.020 --> 02:37:38.020]  in a vacuum. The precedent
[02:37:38.020 --> 02:37:40.020]  was set in an agonizing
[02:37:40.020 --> 02:37:42.020]  mission creep with every little
[02:37:42.020 --> 02:37:44.020]  infringement from
[02:37:44.020 --> 02:37:46.020]  every previous administration.
[02:37:46.020 --> 02:37:48.020]  That's exactly what's
[02:37:48.020 --> 02:37:50.020]  been happening. Well, we got some comments here.
[02:37:50.020 --> 02:37:52.020]  Travis?
[02:37:52.020 --> 02:37:54.020]  Yes, we do. Give me just
[02:37:54.020 --> 02:37:56.020]  a second. I need to scroll them real fast.
[02:37:56.020 --> 02:37:58.020]  They've been piling up.
[02:38:02.020 --> 02:38:04.020]  We have Niburu
[02:38:04.020 --> 02:38:06.020]  2029. He says if you pay close attention
[02:38:06.020 --> 02:38:08.020]  every year, the inflation numbers are high until
[02:38:08.020 --> 02:38:10.020]  about one month before the COLA
[02:38:10.020 --> 02:38:12.020]  is announced.
[02:38:12.020 --> 02:38:14.020]  That's something we've talked about quite
[02:38:14.020 --> 02:38:16.020]  frequently. They always revise
[02:38:16.020 --> 02:38:18.020]  the numbers. The cost of living adjustment
[02:38:18.020 --> 02:38:20.020]  because they adjust social security
[02:38:20.020 --> 02:38:22.020]  and things like that based on that. They
[02:38:22.020 --> 02:38:24.020]  manipulate the numbers. They do that
[02:38:24.020 --> 02:38:26.020]  with inflation.
[02:38:26.020 --> 02:38:28.020]  They do that with the unemployment
[02:38:28.020 --> 02:38:30.020]  numbers. They will always
[02:38:30.020 --> 02:38:32.020]  go back and revise the previous quarter
[02:38:32.020 --> 02:38:34.020]  so they can make the
[02:38:34.020 --> 02:38:36.020]  they don't have good
[02:38:36.020 --> 02:38:38.020]  numbers this quarter, but they can make a
[02:38:38.020 --> 02:38:40.020]  statement that it's actually a positive trend
[02:38:40.020 --> 02:38:42.020]  by revising the previous
[02:38:42.020 --> 02:38:44.020]  ones. This is where we're well in.
[02:38:44.020 --> 02:38:46.020]  Let's just go back in and rewrite
[02:38:46.020 --> 02:38:48.020]  the numbers.
[02:38:48.020 --> 02:38:50.020]  Numbers were always this way.
[02:38:50.020 --> 02:38:52.020]  We've always had
[02:38:52.020 --> 02:38:54.020]  great unemployment numbers.
[02:38:54.020 --> 02:38:56.020]  Cicada 17 says I love the
[02:38:56.020 --> 02:38:58.020]  Christmas album. This year we listened to it
[02:38:58.020 --> 02:39:00.020]  in its entirety during our Christmas dinner
[02:39:00.020 --> 02:39:02.020]  as we have for the last several
[02:39:02.020 --> 02:39:04.020]  years. Well, thank you very much.
[02:39:04.020 --> 02:39:06.020]  Glad you enjoy it.
[02:39:06.020 --> 02:39:08.020]  And of course, the Christmas album is
[02:39:08.020 --> 02:39:10.020]  still available.
[02:39:10.020 --> 02:39:12.020]  It's available year
[02:39:12.020 --> 02:39:14.020]  round.
[02:39:14.020 --> 02:39:16.020]  I do listen to Christmas music year round.
[02:39:16.020 --> 02:39:18.020]  As a matter of fact.
[02:39:18.020 --> 02:39:20.020]  It's not Santa Claus stuff or
[02:39:20.020 --> 02:39:22.020]  Tin Pan Alley things, but
[02:39:22.020 --> 02:39:24.020]  I'm not listening to songs about Rudolph
[02:39:24.020 --> 02:39:26.020]  the Red Nosed Reindeer.
[02:39:26.020 --> 02:39:28.020]  But
[02:39:28.020 --> 02:39:30.020]  I do listen to Christmas music year round
[02:39:30.020 --> 02:39:32.020]  and it is
[02:39:32.020 --> 02:39:34.020]  very relaxing, calming actually
[02:39:34.020 --> 02:39:36.020]  the stuff that I listen to.
[02:39:36.020 --> 02:39:38.020]  And I know
[02:39:38.020 --> 02:39:40.020]  Junior Barner, one of our listeners
[02:39:40.020 --> 02:39:42.020]  in chat, was having issues getting it.
[02:39:42.020 --> 02:39:44.020]  I don't know if we ever got that resolved with the
[02:39:44.020 --> 02:39:46.020]  holidays and everything. If that didn't get
[02:39:46.020 --> 02:39:48.020]  resolved, please shoot us an email. We want to make sure
[02:39:48.020 --> 02:39:50.020]  that we
[02:39:50.020 --> 02:39:52.020]  handle that for you. Yes, what we've done is
[02:39:52.020 --> 02:39:54.020]  we've uploaded it to Mega Upload.
[02:39:54.020 --> 02:39:56.020]  And you can go there and you can
[02:39:56.020 --> 02:39:58.020]  actually listen online
[02:39:58.020 --> 02:40:00.020]  to the files. And you can
[02:40:00.020 --> 02:40:02.020]  download individual files or you can download
[02:40:02.020 --> 02:40:04.020]  the entire album that's there.
[02:40:04.020 --> 02:40:06.020]  And you don't have to be
[02:40:06.020 --> 02:40:08.020]  a part of Mega Upload
[02:40:08.020 --> 02:40:10.020]  in order to do that. But we store them up there
[02:40:10.020 --> 02:40:12.020]  and just leave them up there. So
[02:40:12.020 --> 02:40:14.020]  what we do is we send you the link.
[02:40:14.020 --> 02:40:16.020]  And if you've got any questions about it, just let us
[02:40:16.020 --> 02:40:18.020]  know. We'll help you with that.
[02:40:18.020 --> 02:40:20.020]  And so
[02:40:20.020 --> 02:40:22.020]  we can do what we can to help you
[02:40:22.020 --> 02:40:24.020]  get that down. But we've had a lot of people
[02:40:24.020 --> 02:40:26.020]  get it. We haven't had too many people
[02:40:26.020 --> 02:40:28.020]  have a problem with it. But we'll help you work it out
[02:40:28.020 --> 02:40:30.020]  if it's confusing.
[02:40:30.020 --> 02:40:32.020]  Yep. Any issues, just let us know.
[02:40:32.020 --> 02:40:34.020]  Do not obey says return to work
[02:40:34.020 --> 02:40:36.020]  after holidays to find average Americans
[02:40:36.020 --> 02:40:38.020]  not bragging about what they received as gifts.
[02:40:38.020 --> 02:40:40.020]  The diversity hire is bragging big time.
[02:40:40.020 --> 02:40:42.020]  New trucks for Christmas.
[02:40:42.020 --> 02:40:44.020]  Well,
[02:40:44.020 --> 02:40:46.020]  Christmas isn't about what you get.
[02:40:46.020 --> 02:40:48.020]  But I understand where you're coming from.
[02:40:48.020 --> 02:40:50.020]  Do not obey. I understand.
[02:40:50.020 --> 02:40:52.020]  Yeah.
[02:40:52.020 --> 02:40:54.020]  Karen Carpenter says today is the third
[02:40:54.020 --> 02:40:56.020]  anniversary episode of Gard Goldsmith
[02:40:56.020 --> 02:40:58.020]  show Liberty Conspiracy
[02:40:58.020 --> 02:41:00.020]  at 6 p.m.
[02:41:00.020 --> 02:41:02.020]  Eastern on Rumble NX.
[02:41:02.020 --> 02:41:04.020]  Happy anniversary. Yes, happy anniversary.
[02:41:04.020 --> 02:41:06.020]  That went quickly it seems like.
[02:41:06.020 --> 02:41:08.020]  But good for you.
[02:41:08.020 --> 02:41:10.020]  Good for you. I'm glad that that's happening.
[02:41:10.020 --> 02:41:12.020]  The last few years have been
[02:41:12.020 --> 02:41:14.020]  a complete blur.
[02:41:14.020 --> 02:41:16.020]  They go faster and faster.
[02:41:16.020 --> 02:41:18.020]  Yes.
[02:41:18.020 --> 02:41:20.020]  Dustin D. Helm, thank you so much for the support.
[02:41:20.020 --> 02:41:22.020]  Thank you. Thank you.
[02:41:22.020 --> 02:41:24.020]  He says what a wild year. Cheers.
[02:41:24.020 --> 02:41:26.020]  David and the Knight family.
[02:41:26.020 --> 02:41:28.020]  I'm afraid things are going to get crazy next year as well.
[02:41:28.020 --> 02:41:30.020]  We're going to talk about gold and silver when we come back.
[02:41:30.020 --> 02:41:32.020]  Yes.
[02:41:32.020 --> 02:41:34.020]  Thank you very much. Yes, thank you.
[02:41:34.020 --> 02:41:36.020]  Wally Walrus says they can't even
[02:41:36.020 --> 02:41:38.020]  take off one day of murdering
[02:41:38.020 --> 02:41:40.020]  for Christmas.
[02:41:40.020 --> 02:41:42.020]  Well, I mean. How true.
[02:41:42.020 --> 02:41:44.020]  Yeah.
[02:41:44.020 --> 02:41:46.020]  It's dedication.
[02:41:46.020 --> 02:41:48.020]  Ed Max says we've lost control of our government.
[02:41:48.020 --> 02:41:50.020]  They lie to us like Trump to get in power
[02:41:50.020 --> 02:41:52.020]  then do just the opposite of
[02:41:52.020 --> 02:41:54.020]  their promises. Yeah, that's right.
[02:41:54.020 --> 02:41:56.020]  We're going to take a quick break
[02:41:56.020 --> 02:41:58.020]  folks and we will be right back.
[02:42:08.020 --> 02:42:10.020]  We're going to take a quick break folks and we will be right back.
[02:42:38.020 --> 02:42:40.020]  Thank you.
[02:43:08.020 --> 02:43:10.020]  Thank you.
[02:43:38.020 --> 02:43:40.020]  You're listening to The David Knight Show.
[02:44:08.020 --> 02:44:10.020]  Hey, it's Ben Ferguson and I want you
[02:44:10.020 --> 02:44:12.020]  to pause what you're doing for just
[02:44:12.020 --> 02:44:14.020]  one minute and I want you to hear
[02:44:14.020 --> 02:44:16.020]  about Alejandra. She lives
[02:44:16.020 --> 02:44:18.020]  in a remote community with very few
[02:44:18.020 --> 02:44:20.020]  resources and little to no
[02:44:20.020 --> 02:44:22.020]  health care. So when Alejandra
[02:44:22.020 --> 02:44:24.020]  gets sick, her parents
[02:44:24.020 --> 02:44:26.020]  have no real options, no doctors
[02:44:26.020 --> 02:44:28.020]  in their community
[02:44:28.020 --> 02:44:30.020]  and no money for real medical
[02:44:30.020 --> 02:44:32.020]  care. By the third day
[02:44:32.020 --> 02:44:34.020]  her body was shutting down.
[02:44:34.020 --> 02:44:36.020]  She woke up and just long enough
[02:44:36.020 --> 02:44:38.020]  to tell her mom, I can't
[02:44:38.020 --> 02:44:40.020]  take the pain anymore.
[02:44:40.020 --> 02:44:42.020]  I can't keep going.
[02:44:42.020 --> 02:44:44.020]  Her parents drove hours
[02:44:44.020 --> 02:44:46.020]  to find a doctor who tried everything
[02:44:46.020 --> 02:44:48.020]  but she needed a private hospital
[02:44:48.020 --> 02:44:50.020]  and that was impossible
[02:44:50.020 --> 02:44:52.020]  for her family to afford
[02:44:52.020 --> 02:44:54.020]  and that is when Compassion
[02:44:54.020 --> 02:44:56.020]  International stepped in.
[02:44:56.020 --> 02:44:58.020]  Now through Compassion, Alejandra
[02:44:58.020 --> 02:45:00.020]  was treated and against all
[02:45:00.020 --> 02:45:02.020]  odds she survived.
[02:45:02.020 --> 02:45:04.020]  She lived because someone
[02:45:04.020 --> 02:45:06.020]  just like you took action.
[02:45:06.020 --> 02:45:08.020]  Right now, unfortunately there are
[02:45:08.020 --> 02:45:10.020]  children just like Alejandra
[02:45:10.020 --> 02:45:12.020]  who won't survive unless someone
[02:45:12.020 --> 02:45:14.020]  like you steps in.
[02:45:14.020 --> 02:45:16.020]  Compassion International partners with
[02:45:16.020 --> 02:45:18.020]  local churches providing
[02:45:18.020 --> 02:45:20.020]  children with the support that they need.
[02:45:20.020 --> 02:45:22.020]  Critical medical care
[02:45:22.020 --> 02:45:24.020]  plus food, education
[02:45:24.020 --> 02:45:26.020]  and the hope of the Gospel.
[02:45:26.020 --> 02:45:28.020]  All in Jesus name.
[02:45:28.020 --> 02:45:30.020]  So help a child
[02:45:30.020 --> 02:45:32.020]  just like Alejandra today.

[02:46:08.020 --> 02:46:10.020]  Well welcome back.
[02:46:10.020 --> 02:46:12.020]  Let's talk about gold and silver.
[02:46:12.020 --> 02:46:14.020]  There's some interesting developments
[02:46:14.020 --> 02:46:16.020]  that have happened and as I point out
[02:46:16.020 --> 02:46:18.020]  in this article, if you look at the last year
[02:46:18.020 --> 02:46:20.020]  unless there's going to be some major volatility
[02:46:20.020 --> 02:46:22.020]  with gold in the last week of the year
[02:46:22.020 --> 02:46:24.020]  there's been approximately a 70%
[02:46:24.020 --> 02:46:26.020]  increase in value
[02:46:26.020 --> 02:46:28.020]  within just a single year.
[02:46:28.020 --> 02:46:30.020]  And I keep going
[02:46:30.020 --> 02:46:32.020]  back and thinking about the silver
[02:46:32.020 --> 02:46:34.020]  and gold thing that I did with Yukon
[02:46:34.020 --> 02:46:36.020]  Cornelius and
[02:46:36.020 --> 02:46:38.020]  I think we called that one
[02:46:38.020 --> 02:46:40.020]  right. All the fundamentals
[02:46:40.020 --> 02:46:42.020]  were there. We'd already seen a pretty
[02:46:42.020 --> 02:46:44.020]  good run up of gold
[02:46:44.020 --> 02:46:46.020]  in 2024
[02:46:46.020 --> 02:46:48.020]  and everything was still in place
[02:46:48.020 --> 02:46:50.020]  and yet everybody got so
[02:46:50.020 --> 02:46:52.020]  excited about Trump's statements
[02:46:52.020 --> 02:46:54.020]  about what he was going to do with crypto and Bitcoin
[02:46:54.020 --> 02:46:56.020]  and all the rest of the stuff. More than anything
[02:46:56.020 --> 02:46:58.020]  he discredited it with
[02:46:58.020 --> 02:47:00.020]  the actions that he did.
[02:47:00.020 --> 02:47:02.020]  Bitcoin's had kind of a rough
[02:47:02.020 --> 02:47:04.020]  year this year but gold has
[02:47:04.020 --> 02:47:06.020]  done great and silver
[02:47:06.020 --> 02:47:08.020]  has done even better this year.
[02:47:08.020 --> 02:47:10.020]  So when you look at something
[02:47:10.020 --> 02:47:12.020]  that's a 70% increase there's
[02:47:12.020 --> 02:47:14.020]  this thing called the rule of thumb
[02:47:14.020 --> 02:47:16.020]  or rule of 72
[02:47:16.020 --> 02:47:18.020]  I should say. And
[02:47:18.020 --> 02:47:20.020]  the rule of 72 says that if you take the
[02:47:20.020 --> 02:47:22.020]  interest rate, let's say that you're making 6%
[02:47:22.020 --> 02:47:24.020]  interest which of course no banks
[02:47:24.020 --> 02:47:26.020]  pay any interest at all anymore
[02:47:26.020 --> 02:47:28.020]  but you're in some
[02:47:28.020 --> 02:47:30.020]  investment that's not in
[02:47:30.020 --> 02:47:32.020]  a bank and a savings account and you're getting
[02:47:32.020 --> 02:47:34.020]  6% interest. Well what that says
[02:47:34.020 --> 02:47:36.020]  you divide the 6 into 72
[02:47:36.020 --> 02:47:38.020]  the rule of 72 says
[02:47:38.020 --> 02:47:40.020]  that it'll take you about 12 years
[02:47:40.020 --> 02:47:42.020]  to double your money. So
[02:47:42.020 --> 02:47:44.020]  if it goes up by 70%
[02:47:44.020 --> 02:47:46.020]  in one year you're doubling
[02:47:46.020 --> 02:47:48.020]  your money in one year.
[02:47:48.020 --> 02:47:50.020]  So it's remarkable.
[02:47:50.020 --> 02:47:52.020]  Not the least because 2024
[02:47:52.020 --> 02:47:54.020]  already ended with a 26%
[02:47:54.020 --> 02:47:56.020]  gain for the otherwise
[02:47:56.020 --> 02:47:58.020]  conservative asset class of precious
[02:47:58.020 --> 02:48:00.020]  metals and so
[02:48:00.020 --> 02:48:02.020]  more
[02:48:02.020 --> 02:48:04.020]  than a doubling of value in gold
[02:48:04.020 --> 02:48:06.020]  in just two years.
[02:48:06.020 --> 02:48:08.020]  That's something that you would usually think
[02:48:08.020 --> 02:48:10.020]  that's a hot
[02:48:10.020 --> 02:48:12.020]  tech stock that you bought rather than
[02:48:12.020 --> 02:48:14.020]  gold or something like that.
[02:48:14.020 --> 02:48:16.020]  For the most stable money that humanity has ever
[02:48:16.020 --> 02:48:18.020]  known it's an amazing
[02:48:18.020 --> 02:48:20.020]  development. Those who follow
[02:48:20.020 --> 02:48:22.020]  geopolitical developments and financial markets
[02:48:22.020 --> 02:48:24.020]  closely such
[02:48:24.020 --> 02:48:26.020]  a compressed upward movement
[02:48:26.020 --> 02:48:28.020]  is an unmistakable signal.
[02:48:28.020 --> 02:48:30.020]  Danger
[02:48:30.020 --> 02:48:32.020]  is imminent. That's what we're looking at
[02:48:32.020 --> 02:48:34.020]  here and that's why we said you know last year
[02:48:34.020 --> 02:48:36.020]  when we were talking about this Tony
[02:48:36.020 --> 02:48:38.020]  and I were saying well all the fundamentals
[02:48:38.020 --> 02:48:40.020]  are bad and danger
[02:48:40.020 --> 02:48:42.020]  is imminent so it's going to be good for gold
[02:48:42.020 --> 02:48:44.020]  and I gotta say nothing
[02:48:44.020 --> 02:48:46.020]  has changed. Things have
[02:48:46.020 --> 02:48:48.020]  gone further down
[02:48:48.020 --> 02:48:50.020]  the wrong direction this last year
[02:48:50.020 --> 02:48:52.020]  and next year we're going to really escalate
[02:48:52.020 --> 02:48:54.020]  it because Trump is going to put
[02:48:54.020 --> 02:48:56.020]  in his own guy in charge
[02:48:56.020 --> 02:48:58.020]  of the Federal Reserve
[02:48:58.020 --> 02:49:00.020]  and they're going to pull every phony
[02:49:00.020 --> 02:49:02.020]  sugar high that they can and
[02:49:02.020 --> 02:49:04.020]  people are going to see it for what it
[02:49:04.020 --> 02:49:06.020]  is and it's going to royal markets
[02:49:06.020 --> 02:49:08.020]  as well as the
[02:49:08.020 --> 02:49:10.020]  American dollar so
[02:49:10.020 --> 02:49:12.020]  again it's going to be another good year for
[02:49:12.020 --> 02:49:14.020]  gold I'm confident.
[02:49:14.020 --> 02:49:16.020]  It may not go up by 70% but I think it's going to be
[02:49:16.020 --> 02:49:18.020]  a good year for it. Whether it's military
[02:49:18.020 --> 02:49:20.020]  conflicts like the Ukraine crisis
[02:49:20.020 --> 02:49:22.020]  or new wars that he's creating
[02:49:22.020 --> 02:49:24.020]  or the global
[02:49:24.020 --> 02:49:26.020]  debt dynamics that are now
[02:49:26.020 --> 02:49:28.020]  affecting nearly every region
[02:49:28.020 --> 02:49:30.020]  and isn't it interesting
[02:49:30.020 --> 02:49:32.020]  Donald Trump sees emergencies
[02:49:32.020 --> 02:49:34.020]  everywhere except
[02:49:34.020 --> 02:49:36.020]  with the deficit
[02:49:36.020 --> 02:49:38.020]  he doesn't ever even talk about
[02:49:38.020 --> 02:49:40.020]  that he's not interested he's interested in
[02:49:40.020 --> 02:49:42.020]  the trade deficit but he's not interested
[02:49:42.020 --> 02:49:44.020]  in his own deficit
[02:49:44.020 --> 02:49:46.020]  the massive
[02:49:46.020 --> 02:49:48.020]  pile up of debt that is
[02:49:48.020 --> 02:49:50.020]  hanging over everybody's head and that's one of the
[02:49:50.020 --> 02:49:52.020]  places where he had the first conflict with
[02:49:52.020 --> 02:49:54.020]  Thomas Massey it was over the debt
[02:49:54.020 --> 02:49:56.020]  Thomas Massey is very big about that
[02:49:56.020 --> 02:49:58.020]  he hands a they've
[02:49:58.020 --> 02:50:00.020]  got these little appell things that are debt
[02:50:00.020 --> 02:50:02.020]  counter and he handed it to all the
[02:50:02.020 --> 02:50:04.020]  incoming freshman
[02:50:04.020 --> 02:50:06.020]  members of the house
[02:50:06.020 --> 02:50:08.020]  Donald Trump doesn't like that
[02:50:08.020 --> 02:50:10.020]  he doesn't want people thinking about
[02:50:10.020 --> 02:50:12.020]  the debt and they got into a
[02:50:12.020 --> 02:50:14.020]  big fight and the first time that Trump
[02:50:14.020 --> 02:50:16.020]  said we're going to get him out of
[02:50:16.020 --> 02:50:18.020]  office was because Massey
[02:50:18.020 --> 02:50:20.020]  opposed this multi-trillion
[02:50:20.020 --> 02:50:22.020]  dollars why is it three and a half four trillion
[02:50:22.020 --> 02:50:24.020]  dollars or something that Trump ran
[02:50:24.020 --> 02:50:26.020]  through once he
[02:50:26.020 --> 02:50:28.020]  locked everybody down now we got to give people welfare
[02:50:28.020 --> 02:50:30.020]  think about that
[02:50:30.020 --> 02:50:32.020]  what an outrage that was
[02:50:32.020 --> 02:50:34.020]  and Massey was upset
[02:50:34.020 --> 02:50:36.020]  about it he said no you're
[02:50:36.020 --> 02:50:38.020]  going to have to come here and vote
[02:50:38.020 --> 02:50:40.020]  in person on this and Trump
[02:50:40.020 --> 02:50:42.020]  flipped out
[02:50:42.020 --> 02:50:44.020]  he wasn't worried that they were going to die
[02:50:44.020 --> 02:50:46.020]  he was worried that he was getting
[02:50:46.020 --> 02:50:48.020]  in the way of his program
[02:50:48.020 --> 02:50:50.020]  to train people on welfare
[02:50:50.020 --> 02:50:52.020]  universal basic welfare universal basic
[02:50:52.020 --> 02:50:54.020]  income so the global
[02:50:54.020 --> 02:50:56.020]  debt dynamic now is affecting nearly
[02:50:56.020 --> 02:50:58.020]  every region capital
[02:50:58.020 --> 02:51:00.020]  is visibly fleeing to the safe
[02:51:00.020 --> 02:51:02.020]  haven of gold
[02:51:02.020 --> 02:51:04.020]  it has advantage over other assets
[02:51:04.020 --> 02:51:06.020]  and that there is no counterparty risk you've heard
[02:51:06.020 --> 02:51:08.020]  Tony Aarderman say that
[02:51:08.020 --> 02:51:10.020]  over and over again
[02:51:10.020 --> 02:51:12.020]  because it's true
[02:51:12.020 --> 02:51:14.020]  and you need to have physical ownership
[02:51:14.020 --> 02:51:16.020]  not some kind of
[02:51:16.020 --> 02:51:18.020]  ETF that's held by a bank
[02:51:18.020 --> 02:51:20.020]  in China
[02:51:20.020 --> 02:51:22.020]  something that represents tangible value
[02:51:22.020 --> 02:51:24.020]  that aside from the annual
[02:51:24.020 --> 02:51:26.020]  1.6 percent increase
[02:51:26.020 --> 02:51:28.020]  in mining of gold
[02:51:28.020 --> 02:51:30.020]  it neither inflates nor can it
[02:51:30.020 --> 02:51:32.020]  be arbitrarily frozen
[02:51:32.020 --> 02:51:34.020]  so they're saying that typically
[02:51:34.020 --> 02:51:36.020]  they're mining about another one and a half percent
[02:51:36.020 --> 02:51:38.020]  every year
[02:51:38.020 --> 02:51:40.020]  versus when you look at
[02:51:40.020 --> 02:51:42.020]  the money supply
[02:51:42.020 --> 02:51:44.020]  you know the quote unquote
[02:51:44.020 --> 02:51:46.020]  printing of money or just
[02:51:46.020 --> 02:51:48.020]  as Ben Bernanke said
[02:51:48.020 --> 02:51:50.020]  no we don't do that we just
[02:51:50.020 --> 02:51:52.020]  add zeros on the
[02:51:52.020 --> 02:51:54.020]  on the computer to this stuff
[02:51:54.020 --> 02:51:56.020]  and so they've been inflating
[02:51:56.020 --> 02:51:58.020]  the M2 money supply
[02:51:58.020 --> 02:52:00.020]  cash deposits
[02:52:00.020 --> 02:52:02.020]  short term deposits like money
[02:52:02.020 --> 02:52:04.020]  market funds savings accounts etc
[02:52:04.020 --> 02:52:06.020]  that's going up seven to nine
[02:52:06.020 --> 02:52:08.020]  percent globally this year
[02:52:08.020 --> 02:52:10.020]  and of course they're doing the quantitative easing
[02:52:10.020 --> 02:52:12.020]  they're going to do
[02:52:12.020 --> 02:52:14.020]  definitely will reduce interest rates
[02:52:14.020 --> 02:52:16.020]  Trump is very big about that
[02:52:16.020 --> 02:52:18.020]  that's the only interest that he
[02:52:18.020 --> 02:52:20.020]  the only interest that he has
[02:52:20.020 --> 02:52:22.020]  in the deficit
[02:52:22.020 --> 02:52:24.020]  the federal deficit
[02:52:24.020 --> 02:52:26.020]  is he's got to keep those interest rates down
[02:52:26.020 --> 02:52:28.020]  because that's the amount
[02:52:28.020 --> 02:52:30.020]  they have to pay
[02:52:30.020 --> 02:52:32.020]  on the interest of the debt
[02:52:32.020 --> 02:52:34.020]  that's one of the key reasons he wants to get the
[02:52:34.020 --> 02:52:36.020]  down it's not going to lower the interest rates
[02:52:36.020 --> 02:52:38.020]  on mortgages necessarily
[02:52:38.020 --> 02:52:40.020]  if the market
[02:52:40.020 --> 02:52:42.020]  the market sets the
[02:52:42.020 --> 02:52:44.020]  30 year mortgage rates and things like that
[02:52:44.020 --> 02:52:46.020]  if the market thinks that lowering
[02:52:46.020 --> 02:52:48.020]  interest rates is going to be inflationary
[02:52:48.020 --> 02:52:50.020]  Trump lowering
[02:52:50.020 --> 02:52:52.020]  the interest rates will actually cause home mortgages
[02:52:52.020 --> 02:52:54.020]  to go up and we've seen this happen several
[02:52:54.020 --> 02:52:56.020]  times already but what it
[02:52:56.020 --> 02:52:58.020]  does do is it lowers the
[02:52:58.020 --> 02:53:00.020]  cost to the federal government for this massive
[02:53:00.020 --> 02:53:02.020]  accumulating debt that is there and that's
[02:53:02.020 --> 02:53:04.020]  all he cares about
[02:53:04.020 --> 02:53:06.020]  just kicking the can down the road
[02:53:06.020 --> 02:53:08.020]  let it blow up on somebody else
[02:53:08.020 --> 02:53:10.020]  that way he can brag about how things are so much better
[02:53:10.020 --> 02:53:12.020]  under him
[02:53:12.020 --> 02:53:14.020]  gold is becoming scarcer
[02:53:14.020 --> 02:53:16.020]  relative to the circulating
[02:53:16.020 --> 02:53:18.020]  fiat money
[02:53:18.020 --> 02:53:20.020]  a compelling argument particularly
[02:53:20.020 --> 02:53:22.020]  in central bank circles banks are well aware
[02:53:22.020 --> 02:53:24.020]  that their interest rate policies
[02:53:24.020 --> 02:53:26.020]  coupled with ongoing debt monetization
[02:53:26.020 --> 02:53:28.020]  lead to planned currency
[02:53:28.020 --> 02:53:30.020]  devaluation
[02:53:30.020 --> 02:53:32.020]  of about 216,000 tons of gold
[02:53:32.020 --> 02:53:34.020]  and that's it
[02:53:34.020 --> 02:53:36.020]  that would make if you put it all together it would be a cube
[02:53:36.020 --> 02:53:38.020]  that is about
[02:53:38.020 --> 02:53:40.020]  22 meters on each side
[02:53:40.020 --> 02:53:42.020]  central banks
[02:53:42.020 --> 02:53:44.020]  are seeing that their own
[02:53:44.020 --> 02:53:46.020]  crisis come up
[02:53:46.020 --> 02:53:48.020]  it was again the central banks who are pushing gold prices
[02:53:48.020 --> 02:53:50.020]  higher this last year
[02:53:50.020 --> 02:53:52.020]  polish, chinese and turkish central
[02:53:52.020 --> 02:53:54.020]  banks stand out
[02:53:54.020 --> 02:53:56.020]  combined central banks are expected to add
[02:53:56.020 --> 02:53:58.020]  roughly 1,000 tons of gold
[02:53:58.020 --> 02:54:00.020]  this year
[02:54:00.020 --> 02:54:02.020]  well above the long term average
[02:54:02.020 --> 02:54:04.020]  of 400 to 500 tons
[02:54:04.020 --> 02:54:06.020]  which tells you again
[02:54:06.020 --> 02:54:08.020]  danger is imminent
[02:54:08.020 --> 02:54:10.020]  what we are seeing here
[02:54:10.020 --> 02:54:12.020]  is massive debt accumulated
[02:54:12.020 --> 02:54:14.020]  by all these different governments
[02:54:14.020 --> 02:54:16.020]  and then you also see the fact
[02:54:16.020 --> 02:54:18.020]  that
[02:54:18.020 --> 02:54:20.020]  they
[02:54:20.020 --> 02:54:22.020]  are changing the financial system
[02:54:22.020 --> 02:54:24.020]  completely being restructured
[02:54:24.020 --> 02:54:26.020]  something kicked off and accelerated
[02:54:26.020 --> 02:54:28.020]  in a big way under biden
[02:54:28.020 --> 02:54:30.020]  with sanctions against russia
[02:54:30.020 --> 02:54:32.020]  and as everybody saw
[02:54:32.020 --> 02:54:34.020]  the international system for settling
[02:54:34.020 --> 02:54:36.020]  payments swift
[02:54:36.020 --> 02:54:38.020]  was captive
[02:54:38.020 --> 02:54:40.020]  to the US that could use that
[02:54:40.020 --> 02:54:42.020]  to steal money from anybody
[02:54:42.020 --> 02:54:44.020]  so trust in the entire
[02:54:44.020 --> 02:54:46.020]  system has been eviscerated
[02:54:46.020 --> 02:54:48.020]  everybody is looking for trust
[02:54:48.020 --> 02:54:50.020]  how do you get people to trust you
[02:54:50.020 --> 02:54:52.020]  well you've got a massive stack of gold
[02:54:52.020 --> 02:54:54.020]  to back up whatever new
[02:54:54.020 --> 02:54:56.020]  financial system that you want to put in place
[02:54:56.020 --> 02:54:58.020]  that's how they are all looking at this stuff
[02:54:58.020 --> 02:55:00.020]  so
[02:55:00.020 --> 02:55:02.020]  as if more proof were needed that a storm
[02:55:02.020 --> 02:55:04.020]  might hit capital markets, Italy
[02:55:04.020 --> 02:55:06.020]  one of eurozone's three pillars
[02:55:06.020 --> 02:55:08.020]  has gone on the offensive
[02:55:08.020 --> 02:55:10.020]  the country is working to legally transfer gold
[02:55:10.020 --> 02:55:12.020]  stored at the italian central bank
[02:55:12.020 --> 02:55:14.020]  to state ownership
[02:55:14.020 --> 02:55:16.020]  they say in this article
[02:55:16.020 --> 02:55:18.020]  from zero hedge
[02:55:18.020 --> 02:55:20.020]  they believe it's because
[02:55:20.020 --> 02:55:22.020]  georgia meloni who is the prime minister
[02:55:22.020 --> 02:55:24.020]  is worried that the european central bank might
[02:55:24.020 --> 02:55:26.020]  confiscate Italy's gold
[02:55:26.020 --> 02:55:28.020]  so we're going to take it out of the italian
[02:55:28.020 --> 02:55:30.020]  central bank and we're going to make it state property
[02:55:30.020 --> 02:55:32.020]  how far
[02:55:32.020 --> 02:55:34.020]  has the trust crisis
[02:55:34.020 --> 02:55:36.020]  in capital markets gone if it's
[02:55:36.020 --> 02:55:38.020]  gotten to this point
[02:55:38.020 --> 02:55:40.020]  the new year may soon give us a clearer
[02:55:40.020 --> 02:55:42.020]  answer to this question
[02:55:42.020 --> 02:55:44.020]  again, just like we saw
[02:55:44.020 --> 02:55:46.020]  a year ago
[02:55:46.020 --> 02:55:48.020]  same fundamentals, but even worse
[02:55:48.020 --> 02:55:50.020]  than they were the year before
[02:55:50.020 --> 02:55:52.020]  and then you can add to it
[02:55:52.020 --> 02:55:54.020]  trump trying to manipulate
[02:55:54.020 --> 02:55:56.020]  interest rates and the monetary supply
[02:55:56.020 --> 02:55:58.020]  with a new federal reserve chair
[02:55:58.020 --> 02:56:00.020]  that he will hand pick
[02:56:00.020 --> 02:56:02.020]  the US dollar was on
[02:56:02.020 --> 02:56:04.020]  was set for its biggest
[02:56:04.020 --> 02:56:06.020]  yearly fall since 2017
[02:56:06.020 --> 02:56:08.020]  as investors wagered
[02:56:08.020 --> 02:56:10.020]  the federal reserve has room to
[02:56:10.020 --> 02:56:12.020]  cut rates further next year
[02:56:12.020 --> 02:56:14.020]  even as most of it's
[02:56:14.020 --> 02:56:16.020]  finished with the easing they say
[02:56:16.020 --> 02:56:18.020]  but that could come
[02:56:18.020 --> 02:56:20.020]  back in as well
[02:56:20.020 --> 02:56:22.020]  in a basket of currencies
[02:56:22.020 --> 02:56:24.020]  the dollar index fell to a
[02:56:24.020 --> 02:56:26.020]  2.5 month low
[02:56:26.020 --> 02:56:28.020]  I guess that's because our currency
[02:56:28.020 --> 02:56:30.020]  is a basket case
[02:56:30.020 --> 02:56:32.020]  57%
[02:56:32.020 --> 02:56:34.020]  of retail investors expect
[02:56:34.020 --> 02:56:36.020]  silver to trade above $100
[02:56:36.020 --> 02:56:38.020]  an ounce in 2026
[02:56:38.020 --> 02:56:40.020]  but there is
[02:56:40.020 --> 02:56:42.020]  a warning there as well
[02:56:42.020 --> 02:56:44.020]  not just that it's had a big run up
[02:56:44.020 --> 02:56:46.020]  the big run up was long overdue
[02:56:46.020 --> 02:56:48.020]  as Tony had been saying for quite some time
[02:56:48.020 --> 02:56:50.020]  look at the ratio of gold to silver
[02:56:50.020 --> 02:56:52.020]  look at the amount of silver
[02:56:52.020 --> 02:56:54.020]  that's being used and a lot of people
[02:56:54.020 --> 02:56:56.020]  have made a point of talking about
[02:56:56.020 --> 02:56:58.020]  the Samsung battery, I haven't talked about it
[02:56:58.020 --> 02:57:00.020]  but the Samsung has come
[02:57:00.020 --> 02:57:02.020]  up with a battery that instead
[02:57:02.020 --> 02:57:04.020]  of having a liquid
[02:57:04.020 --> 02:57:06.020]  I think it's liquid lithium, I don't know what
[02:57:06.020 --> 02:57:08.020]  it is that's liquid, but the thing
[02:57:08.020 --> 02:57:10.020]  that makes them so flammable
[02:57:10.020 --> 02:57:12.020]  is absent, so the
[02:57:12.020 --> 02:57:14.020]  Samsung silver battery
[02:57:14.020 --> 02:57:16.020]  is basically better in
[02:57:16.020 --> 02:57:18.020]  every way, except it uses a lot
[02:57:18.020 --> 02:57:20.020]  of silver, it charges
[02:57:20.020 --> 02:57:22.020]  way faster than the
[02:57:22.020 --> 02:57:24.020]  existing batteries do, it's got
[02:57:24.020 --> 02:57:26.020]  a much longer range
[02:57:26.020 --> 02:57:28.020]  and it doesn't have the fire hazard
[02:57:28.020 --> 02:57:30.020]  and I could even see this because of the fire hazard
[02:57:30.020 --> 02:57:32.020]  I could even see this down the road being mandated
[02:57:32.020 --> 02:57:34.020]  by the federal government because
[02:57:34.020 --> 02:57:36.020]  they don't care if you can afford cars, they'd rather you not
[02:57:36.020 --> 02:57:38.020]  have a car, so I could even see
[02:57:38.020 --> 02:57:40.020]  the silver battery from Samsung, that
[02:57:40.020 --> 02:57:42.020]  technology being mandated
[02:57:42.020 --> 02:57:44.020]  but each car
[02:57:44.020 --> 02:57:46.020]  would use about two and a quarter pounds
[02:57:46.020 --> 02:57:48.020]  of silver, pounds
[02:57:48.020 --> 02:57:50.020]  not ounces, pounds of silver
[02:57:50.020 --> 02:57:52.020]  so it adds a lot to the price
[02:57:52.020 --> 02:57:54.020]  of a car, now it was a
[02:57:54.020 --> 02:57:56.020]  small premium to pay
[02:57:56.020 --> 02:57:58.020]  when it first came out this
[02:57:58.020 --> 02:58:00.020]  summer, the price
[02:58:00.020 --> 02:58:02.020]  of silver then
[02:58:02.020 --> 02:58:04.020]  add about a thousand dollars to the price of a car
[02:58:04.020 --> 02:58:06.020]  but it would double
[02:58:06.020 --> 02:58:08.020]  the life of your battery
[02:58:08.020 --> 02:58:10.020]  so that makes economic sense if you're going to keep
[02:58:10.020 --> 02:58:12.020]  the car, but
[02:58:12.020 --> 02:58:14.020]  since then, the price of silver
[02:58:14.020 --> 02:58:16.020]  has doubled, so
[02:58:16.020 --> 02:58:18.020]  when you look at that
[02:58:18.020 --> 02:58:20.020]  and you look at the potential
[02:58:20.020 --> 02:58:22.020]  of demand for that battery
[02:58:22.020 --> 02:58:24.020]  for example, the
[02:58:24.020 --> 02:58:26.020]  and the fact that it's better
[02:58:26.020 --> 02:58:28.020]  in terms of range, fire hazard
[02:58:28.020 --> 02:58:30.020]  charging time, battery
[02:58:30.020 --> 02:58:32.020]  life, in every regard it's superior
[02:58:32.020 --> 02:58:34.020]  but it uses a lot of silver
[02:58:34.020 --> 02:58:36.020]  so a lot of people are looking at that saying that's an even
[02:58:36.020 --> 02:58:38.020]  more bullish case for it because
[02:58:38.020 --> 02:58:40.020]  we've had six years
[02:58:40.020 --> 02:58:42.020]  of deficit for silver
[02:58:42.020 --> 02:58:44.020]  that we were
[02:58:44.020 --> 02:58:46.020]  using more of it, using it up
[02:58:46.020 --> 02:58:48.020]  in industrial uses, more
[02:58:48.020 --> 02:58:50.020]  of it than was being mined, so for
[02:58:50.020 --> 02:58:52.020]  six years that's been going down
[02:58:52.020 --> 02:58:54.020]  and so we saw a
[02:58:54.020 --> 02:58:56.020]  real crunch this year as
[02:58:56.020 --> 02:58:58.020]  India decided, had some
[02:58:58.020 --> 02:59:00.020]  influencers there saying it's part of the religious
[02:59:00.020 --> 02:59:02.020]  festival where they store
[02:59:02.020 --> 02:59:04.020]  precious metals, don't do
[02:59:04.020 --> 02:59:06.020]  gold this year, do silver, so that created a big
[02:59:06.020 --> 02:59:08.020]  crunch, so that's
[02:59:08.020 --> 02:59:10.020]  on the positive side
[02:59:10.020 --> 02:59:12.020]  on the negative side, I had a listener
[02:59:12.020 --> 02:59:14.020]  who sent this to me, I was not aware of this
[02:59:14.020 --> 02:59:16.020]  and it is a
[02:59:16.020 --> 02:59:18.020]  climate bill that was passed
[02:59:18.020 --> 02:59:20.020]  December the 10th
[02:59:20.020 --> 02:59:22.020]  at 2am in the morning
[02:59:22.020 --> 02:59:24.020]  just sounding kind of like the Federal Reserve
[02:59:24.020 --> 02:59:26.020]  bill, you know, where they go in and they run
[02:59:26.020 --> 02:59:28.020]  something through like that
[02:59:28.020 --> 02:59:30.020]  it was page
[02:59:30.020 --> 02:59:32.020]  1247
[02:59:32.020 --> 02:59:34.020]  of an
[02:59:34.020 --> 02:59:36.020]  850 page climate bill
[02:59:36.020 --> 02:59:38.020]  and in it
[02:59:38.020 --> 02:59:40.020]  was the idea that
[02:59:40.020 --> 02:59:42.020]  they could force you
[02:59:42.020 --> 02:59:44.020]  to, they could
[02:59:44.020 --> 02:59:46.020]  force a requisition of
[02:59:46.020 --> 02:59:48.020]  individually owned silver
[02:59:48.020 --> 02:59:50.020]  and platinum
[02:59:50.020 --> 02:59:52.020]  and palladium
[02:59:52.020 --> 02:59:54.020]  and they listed several different
[02:59:54.020 --> 02:59:56.020]  key metals
[02:59:56.020 --> 02:59:58.020]  notably absent
[02:59:58.020 --> 03:00:00.020]  was gold
[03:00:00.020 --> 03:00:02.020]  because they don't want to tip off
[03:00:02.020 --> 03:00:04.020]  speculation that
[03:00:04.020 --> 03:00:06.020]  that they're losing out
[03:00:06.020 --> 03:00:08.020]  to gold, so that
[03:00:08.020 --> 03:00:10.020]  would be a real red flag to everybody
[03:00:10.020 --> 03:00:12.020]  but they can list every other metal that is there
[03:00:12.020 --> 03:00:14.020]  and they might actually do it
[03:00:14.020 --> 03:00:16.020]  and so if you look at it, I had
[03:00:16.020 --> 03:00:18.020]  a listener who sent me a video report that was
[03:00:18.020 --> 03:00:20.020]  done by somebody going through it
[03:00:20.020 --> 03:00:22.020]  and it looked very legitimate to me
[03:00:22.020 --> 03:00:24.020]  at first it seemed
[03:00:24.020 --> 03:00:26.020]  like it was real
[03:00:26.020 --> 03:00:28.020]  click bait
[03:00:28.020 --> 03:00:30.020]  hyperbole
[03:00:30.020 --> 03:00:32.020]  but actually if you look at the bill
[03:00:32.020 --> 03:00:34.020]  it's actually there
[03:00:34.020 --> 03:00:36.020]  and
[03:00:36.020 --> 03:00:38.020]  what he was suggesting, and we'll see
[03:00:38.020 --> 03:00:40.020]  what Tony has to say about it, I'm interested to see what Tony
[03:00:40.020 --> 03:00:42.020]  says. Hey it's Ben Ferguson
[03:00:42.020 --> 03:00:44.020]  and I want to be honest with you
[03:00:44.020 --> 03:00:46.020]  for a second about how an act of
[03:00:46.020 --> 03:00:48.020]  compassion really feels
[03:00:48.020 --> 03:00:50.020]  a couple of years ago I made the choice
[03:00:50.020 --> 03:00:52.020]  to partner with an amazing
[03:00:52.020 --> 03:00:54.020]  organization called Compassion International
[03:00:54.020 --> 03:00:56.020]  Why?
[03:00:56.020 --> 03:00:58.020]  Because I wanted to sponsor a child in need
[03:00:58.020 --> 03:01:00.020]  It was a nice idea sure
[03:01:00.020 --> 03:01:02.020]  but I had no idea
[03:01:02.020 --> 03:01:04.020]  just how much that simple act
[03:01:04.020 --> 03:01:06.020]  would change my life as well
[03:01:06.020 --> 03:01:08.020]  I sponsored Nadia
[03:01:08.020 --> 03:01:10.020]  and got to watch her life change
[03:01:10.020 --> 03:01:12.020]  right in front of my eyes
[03:01:12.020 --> 03:01:14.020]  going from starving literally alone
[03:01:14.020 --> 03:01:16.020]  on the streets to getting the health
[03:01:16.020 --> 03:01:18.020]  care and education she needs
[03:01:18.020 --> 03:01:20.020]  to reach her God given
[03:01:20.020 --> 03:01:22.020]  full potential. I got to be
[03:01:22.020 --> 03:01:24.020]  a part of that change
[03:01:24.020 --> 03:01:26.020]  and the light of that compassion not only
[03:01:26.020 --> 03:01:28.020]  illuminates in her, it illuminates
[03:01:28.020 --> 03:01:30.020]  now in me. That is
[03:01:30.020 --> 03:01:32.020]  the power of compassion
[03:01:32.020 --> 03:01:34.020]  the light of Christ shines
[03:01:34.020 --> 03:01:36.020]  on all of us
[03:01:36.020 --> 03:01:38.020]  feel it for yourself and change
[03:01:38.020 --> 03:01:40.020]  literally a child's life
[03:01:40.020 --> 03:01:42.020]  change the world and you also
[03:01:42.020 --> 03:01:44.020]  change yourself. You can sponsor

[03:02:22.020 --> 03:02:24.020]  he won't be with us this week.
[03:02:24.020 --> 03:02:26.020]  Thursday is New Year's Day.
[03:02:26.020 --> 03:02:28.020]  But
[03:02:28.020 --> 03:02:30.020]  he'll be coming back after that and we'll see what he
[03:02:30.020 --> 03:02:32.020]  has to say about this. There are some things
[03:02:32.020 --> 03:02:34.020]  that you can do to guard
[03:02:34.020 --> 03:02:36.020]  against silver
[03:02:36.020 --> 03:02:38.020]  confiscation. And he pointed
[03:02:38.020 --> 03:02:40.020]  that out in the video. He said you know you go back and look
[03:02:40.020 --> 03:02:42.020]  at gold confiscation. They
[03:02:42.020 --> 03:02:44.020]  made exceptions for
[03:02:44.020 --> 03:02:46.020]  collectible items.
[03:02:46.020 --> 03:02:48.020]  So one of the things you can do is if you've got
[03:02:48.020 --> 03:02:50.020]  collectible coins or something
[03:02:50.020 --> 03:02:52.020]  you get it registered that way and now
[03:02:52.020 --> 03:02:54.020]  you're immune to that.
[03:02:54.020 --> 03:02:56.020]  Because they're talking about the same
[03:02:56.020 --> 03:02:58.020]  types of things in this bill.
[03:02:58.020 --> 03:03:00.020]  The other thing that was done, if you've
[03:03:00.020 --> 03:03:02.020]  got it in the form of bars
[03:03:02.020 --> 03:03:04.020]  or something like that, you can
[03:03:04.020 --> 03:03:06.020]  put it in a foreign country.
[03:03:06.020 --> 03:03:08.020]  Or you can
[03:03:08.020 --> 03:03:10.020]  have it fall off your fishing boat or
[03:03:10.020 --> 03:03:12.020]  something.
[03:03:12.020 --> 03:03:14.020]  Just try to hide it. But you are on the list
[03:03:14.020 --> 03:03:16.020]  pretty much, anybody has, if you bought
[03:03:16.020 --> 03:03:18.020]  it. Because certainly if you
[03:03:18.020 --> 03:03:20.020]  bought it in much of a quantity, there are
[03:03:20.020 --> 03:03:22.020]  reporting requirements that are there
[03:03:22.020 --> 03:03:24.020]  for every kind of organization. They've
[03:03:24.020 --> 03:03:26.020]  got this throughout the financial system.
[03:03:26.020 --> 03:03:28.020]  Whatever you buy, they're constantly looking
[03:03:28.020 --> 03:03:30.020]  at what you're buying. There's constantly reporting
[03:03:30.020 --> 03:03:32.020]  of this stuff. And you can go back
[03:03:32.020 --> 03:03:34.020]  and find this stuff. As a matter of fact
[03:03:34.020 --> 03:03:36.020]  one of the things that broke over the weekend
[03:03:36.020 --> 03:03:38.020]  was people went back and found Jeffrey
[03:03:38.020 --> 03:03:40.020]  Epstein's Amazon
[03:03:40.020 --> 03:03:42.020]  order list.
[03:03:42.020 --> 03:03:44.020]  And it was
[03:03:44.020 --> 03:03:46.020]  he bought on several different occasions
[03:03:46.020 --> 03:03:48.020]  young schoolgirl uniforms.
[03:03:48.020 --> 03:03:50.020]  I don't think they were for him.
[03:03:50.020 --> 03:03:52.020]  And Karen's first comment I thought was
[03:03:52.020 --> 03:03:54.020]  great. She said, what sizes were they?
[03:03:54.020 --> 03:03:56.020]  That's the key thing we need to look at with this.
[03:03:56.020 --> 03:03:58.020]  We also bought something called
[03:03:58.020 --> 03:04:00.020]  a sonic prostate massager.
[03:04:00.020 --> 03:04:02.020]  And I was like, what in the world is that?
[03:04:02.020 --> 03:04:04.020]  I didn't even know that hedgehogs, let alone
[03:04:04.020 --> 03:04:06.020]  comic book hedgehogs, had prostates.
[03:04:06.020 --> 03:04:08.020]  So I had to look that one up on
[03:04:08.020 --> 03:04:10.020]  Amazon. But yeah, you had it
[03:04:10.020 --> 03:04:12.020]  interesting. So the bottom line is
[03:04:12.020 --> 03:04:14.020]  whatever you buy folks,
[03:04:14.020 --> 03:04:16.020]  unless it's done
[03:04:16.020 --> 03:04:18.020]  in terms of cash,
[03:04:18.020 --> 03:04:20.020]  one to one person
[03:04:20.020 --> 03:04:22.020]  they know what you've gotten.
[03:04:22.020 --> 03:04:24.020]  So the way that you can
[03:04:24.020 --> 03:04:26.020]  do things about your
[03:04:26.020 --> 03:04:28.020]  silver is that you can set up some
[03:04:28.020 --> 03:04:30.020]  kind of a sale to
[03:04:30.020 --> 03:04:32.020]  somebody else and pass it on to try to
[03:04:32.020 --> 03:04:34.020]  you can also turn
[03:04:34.020 --> 03:04:36.020]  it into gold. That's another easiest
[03:04:36.020 --> 03:04:38.020]  thing to do right now. But
[03:04:38.020 --> 03:04:40.020]  if you got it in a safety deposit box,
[03:04:40.020 --> 03:04:42.020]  if you got it
[03:04:42.020 --> 03:04:44.020]  if you bought this stuff
[03:04:44.020 --> 03:04:46.020]  through the banking system,
[03:04:46.020 --> 03:04:48.020]  they're going to know where it is. So the
[03:04:48.020 --> 03:04:50.020]  things that you can do, or if it's coins
[03:04:50.020 --> 03:04:52.020]  you can get it classified as a collectible thing
[03:04:52.020 --> 03:04:54.020]  then that gets you out of the system.
[03:04:54.020 --> 03:04:56.020]  You can put it in a
[03:04:56.020 --> 03:04:58.020]  safety deposit box in
[03:04:58.020 --> 03:05:00.020]  some other jurisdiction like Switzerland or something.
[03:05:00.020 --> 03:05:02.020]  That's what a lot of people did
[03:05:02.020 --> 03:05:04.020]  in advance of FDR's order.
[03:05:04.020 --> 03:05:06.020]  Or you can change it over to gold
[03:05:06.020 --> 03:05:08.020]  that they're not going to come after.
[03:05:08.020 --> 03:05:10.020]  But 57% of retail investors expect
[03:05:10.020 --> 03:05:12.020]  silver to go above $100 an ounce
[03:05:12.020 --> 03:05:14.020]  in 2026.
[03:05:14.020 --> 03:05:16.020]  And it just
[03:05:16.020 --> 03:05:18.020]  started accelerating towards the end of the year
[03:05:18.020 --> 03:05:20.020]  already. It's getting up to like
[03:05:20.020 --> 03:05:22.020]  $80 an ounce.
[03:05:22.020 --> 03:05:24.020]  Prices gained 170%
[03:05:24.020 --> 03:05:26.020]  this last year.
[03:05:26.020 --> 03:05:28.020]  And counting. Many industry
[03:05:28.020 --> 03:05:30.020]  experts and a solid majority
[03:05:30.020 --> 03:05:32.020]  of retail traders see another
[03:05:32.020 --> 03:05:34.020]  standout year for silver
[03:05:34.020 --> 03:05:36.020]  in 2026.
[03:05:36.020 --> 03:05:38.020]  And again
[03:05:38.020 --> 03:05:40.020]  Trump has had one fake
[03:05:40.020 --> 03:05:42.020]  emergency after another
[03:05:42.020 --> 03:05:44.020]  going back to COVID and other
[03:05:44.020 --> 03:05:46.020]  things and he loves to have executive orders
[03:05:46.020 --> 03:05:48.020]  as well. Do you think that he
[03:05:48.020 --> 03:05:50.020]  wouldn't do something like this? What would it take?
[03:05:50.020 --> 03:05:52.020]  I mean we can look at the financial
[03:05:52.020 --> 03:05:54.020]  system and the trade and the
[03:05:54.020 --> 03:05:56.020]  not the trade deficit but the actual federal
[03:05:56.020 --> 03:05:58.020]  government's deficit. And
[03:05:58.020 --> 03:06:00.020]  we can see the outlines of a real emergency
[03:06:00.020 --> 03:06:02.020]  here. What would Trump do
[03:06:02.020 --> 03:06:04.020]  if it were a real emergency? He's had
[03:06:04.020 --> 03:06:06.020]  one fake emergency after the other.
[03:06:06.020 --> 03:06:08.020]  You don't think they would try to confiscate this stuff?
[03:06:08.020 --> 03:06:10.020]  So again
[03:06:10.020 --> 03:06:12.020]  there are some
[03:06:12.020 --> 03:06:14.020]  loopholes that are there. December
[03:06:14.020 --> 03:06:16.020]  the 1st saw spot silver trading
[03:06:16.020 --> 03:06:18.020]  at a fresh all time high near
[03:06:18.020 --> 03:06:20.020]  $58.50
[03:06:20.020 --> 03:06:22.020]  an ounce. But then
[03:06:22.020 --> 03:06:24.020]  it went parabolic and by the 8th of
[03:06:24.020 --> 03:06:26.020]  December, from the 1st of December to the 8th
[03:06:26.020 --> 03:06:28.020]  it had gone from $58.50
[03:06:28.020 --> 03:06:30.020]  to $60 an ounce. Less than two weeks later
[03:06:30.020 --> 03:06:32.020]  it was trading above $70
[03:06:32.020 --> 03:06:34.020]  and the price momentum has
[03:06:34.020 --> 03:06:36.020]  only steepened since.
[03:06:36.020 --> 03:06:38.020]  As of December the 26th it was trading
[03:06:38.020 --> 03:06:40.020]  at $79 per ounce
[03:06:40.020 --> 03:06:42.020]  $70 short of the $80
[03:06:42.020 --> 03:06:44.020]  level. And again
[03:06:44.020 --> 03:06:46.020]  I don't know where it is today. I'm not
[03:06:46.020 --> 03:06:48.020]  I don't sit here on my ticker tape
[03:06:48.020 --> 03:06:50.020]  like Scrooge McDuck
[03:06:50.020 --> 03:06:52.020]  or whatever. I'm looking
[03:06:52.020 --> 03:06:54.020]  at this stuff in terms of long term trends.
[03:06:54.020 --> 03:06:56.020]  Commodity
[03:06:56.020 --> 03:06:58.020]  analysts at TD Securities
[03:06:58.020 --> 03:07:00.020]  wrote in their 2026 outlook
[03:07:00.020 --> 03:07:02.020]  that they expected silver prices to moderate
[03:07:02.020 --> 03:07:04.020]  in the mid 40s
[03:07:04.020 --> 03:07:06.020]  during the year to come. They
[03:07:06.020 --> 03:07:08.020]  wrote with more than $212 million
[03:07:08.020 --> 03:07:10.020]  ounces of silver now likely
[03:07:10.020 --> 03:07:12.020]  freely available in the
[03:07:12.020 --> 03:07:14.020]  London Metals Exchange
[03:07:14.020 --> 03:07:16.020]  vaults, London silver markets
[03:07:16.020 --> 03:07:18.020]  have already unwound a year's worth
[03:07:18.020 --> 03:07:20.020]  of drain in London inventories.
[03:07:20.020 --> 03:07:22.020]  Yet prices have not collapsed
[03:07:22.020 --> 03:07:24.020]  post silver flood, they
[03:07:24.020 --> 03:07:26.020]  noted. Lease rates have collapsed
[03:07:26.020 --> 03:07:28.020]  from historic levels but prices
[03:07:28.020 --> 03:07:30.020]  have not. Prices have only traded
[03:07:30.020 --> 03:07:32.020]  violently near all time highs
[03:07:32.020 --> 03:07:34.020]  clashing with a statistically
[03:07:34.020 --> 03:07:36.020]  significant relationship
[03:07:36.020 --> 03:07:38.020]  between commodity volume and
[03:07:38.020 --> 03:07:40.020]  inventories. And I don't think that's
[03:07:40.020 --> 03:07:42.020]  going to change. BMO
[03:07:42.020 --> 03:07:44.020]  capital markets said the official
[03:07:44.020 --> 03:07:46.020]  2026 outlook
[03:07:46.020 --> 03:07:48.020]  was the bank sees silver prices
[03:07:48.020 --> 03:07:50.020]  averaging around $60 an
[03:07:50.020 --> 03:07:52.020]  ounce in the fourth quarter of 2026
[03:07:52.020 --> 03:07:54.020]  where they expect will represent
[03:07:54.020 --> 03:07:56.020]  the high for the year
[03:07:56.020 --> 03:07:58.020]  but it's already at 80.
[03:07:58.020 --> 03:08:00.020]  BMO sees silver prices
[03:08:00.020 --> 03:08:02.020]  averaging $56
[03:08:02.020 --> 03:08:04.020]  an ounce for the year as a whole.
[03:08:04.020 --> 03:08:06.020]  Analysts said that while they believe Gold's
[03:08:06.020 --> 03:08:08.020]  multi-year rally can continue in
[03:08:08.020 --> 03:08:10.020]  2026, we have turned
[03:08:10.020 --> 03:08:12.020]  more cautious on other
[03:08:12.020 --> 03:08:14.020]  precious metals like silver and
[03:08:14.020 --> 03:08:16.020]  platinum in comparison
[03:08:16.020 --> 03:08:18.020]  showing signs of being
[03:08:18.020 --> 03:08:20.020]  overbought in recent weeks, they said.
[03:08:20.020 --> 03:08:22.020]  Well, who knows?
[03:08:22.020 --> 03:08:24.020]  I don't
[03:08:24.020 --> 03:08:26.020]  try to predict the prices and
[03:08:26.020 --> 03:08:28.020]  I'm not
[03:08:28.020 --> 03:08:30.020]  following these things on a day-to-day basis.
[03:08:30.020 --> 03:08:32.020]  I'm not a day trader in
[03:08:32.020 --> 03:08:34.020]  commodities or whatever. I just know what
[03:08:34.020 --> 03:08:36.020]  the fundamentals are. And
[03:08:36.020 --> 03:08:38.020]  fundamentals for silver are excellent
[03:08:38.020 --> 03:08:40.020]  with the caveat that
[03:08:40.020 --> 03:08:42.020]  if they get too good, the government might steal it
[03:08:42.020 --> 03:08:44.020]  because after all we do have in
[03:08:44.020 --> 03:08:46.020]  Washington a kleptocracy.
[03:08:46.020 --> 03:08:48.020]  They'll steal oil tankers, they'll
[03:08:48.020 --> 03:08:50.020]  steal your personal car, your home, anything.
[03:08:50.020 --> 03:08:52.020]  They don't care. No due process.
[03:08:52.020 --> 03:08:54.020]  No constitution.
[03:08:54.020 --> 03:08:56.020]  But again, there is that loophole
[03:08:56.020 --> 03:08:58.020]  about gold because
[03:08:58.020 --> 03:09:00.020]  they don't want to raise
[03:09:00.020 --> 03:09:02.020]  the red flags. Everybody remembers the gold
[03:09:02.020 --> 03:09:04.020]  confiscation, so they back off
[03:09:04.020 --> 03:09:06.020]  of that for the moment. Let's get
[03:09:06.020 --> 03:09:08.020]  the comments, Travis, before we take a break.
[03:09:08.020 --> 03:09:10.020]  Roger that.
[03:09:10.020 --> 03:09:12.020]  We have Clint, 1968.
[03:09:12.020 --> 03:09:14.020]  He says, forget China and Russia. It's the American
[03:09:14.020 --> 03:09:16.020]  people that are their enemy. They want us all
[03:09:16.020 --> 03:09:18.020]  dead or turned into the Borg-like machines.
[03:09:18.020 --> 03:09:20.020]  That's right. Our biggest enemy
[03:09:20.020 --> 03:09:22.020]  is not some foreign government. Our biggest enemy
[03:09:22.020 --> 03:09:24.020]  as Pogo has said,
[03:09:24.020 --> 03:09:26.020]  we has met the enemy
[03:09:26.020 --> 03:09:28.020]  and they is us. They is the
[03:09:28.020 --> 03:09:30.020]  U.S. government. That's
[03:09:30.020 --> 03:09:32.020]  right. I agree.
[03:09:32.020 --> 03:09:34.020]  Hathkar, 61
[03:09:34.020 --> 03:09:36.020]  says, I'll miss the music played during the breaks.
[03:09:36.020 --> 03:09:38.020]  Especially the one that ends with your adopted
[03:09:38.020 --> 03:09:40.020]  daughter. Up to you, but once in a while during the
[03:09:40.020 --> 03:09:42.020]  year it would be nice to hear this beautiful music.
[03:09:42.020 --> 03:09:44.020]  Bless you. Thank you. Maybe we'll do that.
[03:09:44.020 --> 03:09:46.020]  I'm going to try to get some more
[03:09:46.020 --> 03:09:48.020]  songs in. It's been really difficult for me
[03:09:48.020 --> 03:09:50.020]  to get
[03:09:50.020 --> 03:09:52.020]  music done.
[03:09:52.020 --> 03:09:54.020]  Since I had the stroke, I'm going to try to get some more
[03:09:54.020 --> 03:09:56.020]  tunes on a regular basis in the show.
[03:09:56.020 --> 03:09:58.020]  Yes. We have
[03:09:58.020 --> 03:10:00.020]  Nmax says, I don't think Bongino
[03:10:00.020 --> 03:10:02.020]  left because of conscience.
[03:10:02.020 --> 03:10:04.020]  They were losing many voices in social media
[03:10:04.020 --> 03:10:06.020]  and probably needed to plant some out there.
[03:10:06.020 --> 03:10:08.020]  Yeah. Well, I think he also wants to
[03:10:08.020 --> 03:10:10.020]  get off of this sinking ship.
[03:10:10.020 --> 03:10:12.020]  There's a lot of questions
[03:10:12.020 --> 03:10:14.020]  that are going to be asked. He may still be
[03:10:14.020 --> 03:10:16.020]  in the hot seat somehow, but
[03:10:16.020 --> 03:10:18.020]  I think he's going to be able to
[03:10:18.020 --> 03:10:20.020]  massage a lot of this stuff, the heat
[03:10:20.020 --> 03:10:22.020]  that's coming down the pipeline from the
[03:10:22.020 --> 03:10:24.020]  sepsis and stuff. It just keeps building.
[03:10:24.020 --> 03:10:26.020]  And I don't think that this is a distraction either,
[03:10:26.020 --> 03:10:28.020]  folks. This is a definition
[03:10:28.020 --> 03:10:30.020]  of character.
[03:10:30.020 --> 03:10:32.020]  The character of the Democrats and the Republicans
[03:10:32.020 --> 03:10:34.020]  and of our government
[03:10:34.020 --> 03:10:36.020]  in general. That's why this is important.
[03:10:36.020 --> 03:10:38.020]  And it's also important because of who
[03:10:38.020 --> 03:10:40.020]  you're not allowed to talk about.
[03:10:40.020 --> 03:10:42.020]  And that is the intelligence agencies that were allied
[03:10:42.020 --> 03:10:44.020]  with Jeffrey Epstein.
[03:10:44.020 --> 03:10:46.020]  These are the scumbags and the
[03:10:46.020 --> 03:10:48.020]  pro-lives that are constantly running
[03:10:48.020 --> 03:10:50.020]  these honeypots
[03:10:50.020 --> 03:10:52.020]  for blackmail
[03:10:52.020 --> 03:10:54.020]  of people.
[03:10:54.020 --> 03:10:56.020]  That's the real issue that's there.
[03:10:56.020 --> 03:10:58.020]  It needs to be looked at, yes.
[03:10:58.020 --> 03:11:00.020]  I was thinking maybe
[03:11:00.020 --> 03:11:02.020]  they got too afraid of his Kung Fu
[03:11:02.020 --> 03:11:04.020]  prowess. They couldn't
[03:11:04.020 --> 03:11:06.020]  risk having him that close. He was a liability.
[03:11:06.020 --> 03:11:08.020]  Yeah, that's right.
[03:11:08.020 --> 03:11:10.020]  Might just snap and take him all out.
[03:11:10.020 --> 03:11:12.020]  Jason Barker. Of course, Jason Barker's
[03:11:12.020 --> 03:11:14.020]  Parts of Nights of the Storm. You can find
[03:11:14.020 --> 03:11:16.020]  their schedule and our schedule
[03:11:16.020 --> 03:11:18.020]  and Tony's schedule. Many schedules,
[03:11:18.020 --> 03:11:20.020]  including Gard Goldsmith's on
[03:11:20.020 --> 03:11:22.020]  their website, nightsofthestorm.com.
[03:11:22.020 --> 03:11:24.020]  It says, I would never register
[03:11:24.020 --> 03:11:26.020]  my medals. That just lets them know you
[03:11:26.020 --> 03:11:28.020]  have them. Yeah.
[03:11:28.020 --> 03:11:30.020]  But the problem is they get registered
[03:11:30.020 --> 03:11:32.020]  when they fill out reports
[03:11:32.020 --> 03:11:34.020]  and things like that. When you make financial transactions
[03:11:34.020 --> 03:11:36.020]  in the banking system.
[03:11:36.020 --> 03:11:38.020]  And what we're talking about in terms
[03:11:38.020 --> 03:11:40.020]  of getting them graded, that's kind of like
[03:11:40.020 --> 03:11:42.020]  my understanding. I've never done it.
[03:11:42.020 --> 03:11:44.020]  But my understanding, that'd be kind of like something
[03:11:44.020 --> 03:11:46.020]  to do with comic books. We looked at that once because
[03:11:46.020 --> 03:11:48.020]  I've got a lot of comic books
[03:11:48.020 --> 03:11:50.020]  from the early 60s when I was
[03:11:50.020 --> 03:11:52.020]  a kid. And
[03:11:52.020 --> 03:11:54.020]  it's how I learned to read.
[03:11:54.020 --> 03:11:56.020]  Anyway, the
[03:11:58.020 --> 03:12:00.020]  you can take an old
[03:12:00.020 --> 03:12:02.020]  comic book like that and you can take it to one of these
[03:12:02.020 --> 03:12:04.020]  services and they will grade it and
[03:12:04.020 --> 03:12:06.020]  seal it. Which makes
[03:12:06.020 --> 03:12:08.020]  it something that
[03:12:08.020 --> 03:12:10.020]  is tradable. And so that's what we're talking
[03:12:10.020 --> 03:12:12.020]  about with the numismatic stuff. And so what they're saying is
[03:12:12.020 --> 03:12:14.020]  if it's a collector coin
[03:12:14.020 --> 03:12:16.020]  then they don't consider it
[03:12:16.020 --> 03:12:18.020]  as gold that can be
[03:12:18.020 --> 03:12:20.020]  confiscated. That was a loophole during
[03:12:20.020 --> 03:12:22.020]  the FDR confiscation. And so
[03:12:22.020 --> 03:12:24.020]  it'd be a loophole with a silver confiscation
[03:12:24.020 --> 03:12:26.020]  as well. But yeah, just don't
[03:12:26.020 --> 03:12:28.020]  trust government. That's the key thing.
[03:12:28.020 --> 03:12:30.020]  So we're going to take a quick break, folks.
[03:12:30.020 --> 03:12:32.020]  And we'll be right back.
[03:12:32.020 --> 03:12:36.020]  God has
[03:12:36.020 --> 03:12:38.020]  you married,
[03:12:38.020 --> 03:12:40.020]  gentle me,

[03:12:42.020 --> 03:12:44.020]  dismay.
[03:12:44.020 --> 03:12:46.020]  Remember Christ
[03:12:46.020 --> 03:12:48.020]  as if you
[03:12:48.020 --> 03:12:50.020]  was born.
[03:12:50.020 --> 03:12:52.020]  Remember
[03:12:52.020 --> 03:12:54.020]  Christ as if
[03:12:54.020 --> 03:12:56.020]  you're
[03:12:56.020 --> 03:12:58.020]  given.
[03:13:02.020 --> 03:13:04.020]  God has
[03:13:04.020 --> 03:13:06.020]  you married,
[03:13:06.020 --> 03:13:08.020]  gentle me,
[03:13:08.020 --> 03:13:10.020]  let nothing you
[03:13:10.020 --> 03:13:12.020]  dismay.
[03:13:12.020 --> 03:13:14.020]  Remember Christ as if
[03:13:14.020 --> 03:13:16.020]  you're given.
[03:13:16.020 --> 03:13:18.020]  Remember Christ as if
[03:13:18.020 --> 03:13:20.020]  you're given.
[03:13:20.020 --> 03:13:22.020]  God has
[03:13:22.020 --> 03:13:24.020]  you married,
[03:13:24.020 --> 03:13:26.020]  gentle me,
[03:13:26.020 --> 03:13:28.020]  let nothing you
[03:13:28.020 --> 03:13:30.020]  dismay.
[03:14:00.020 --> 03:14:02.020]  God has
[03:14:02.020 --> 03:14:04.020]  you married,
[03:14:04.020 --> 03:14:06.020]  gentle me,
[03:14:06.020 --> 03:14:08.020]  let nothing you
[03:14:08.020 --> 03:14:10.020]  dismay.
[03:14:10.500 --> 03:14:33.220]  Speak of Christ
[03:14:34.820 --> 03:14:36.820]  The end-Christmas courthouse
[03:14:36.820 --> 03:14:38.820]  morally rent-out
[03:14:38.820 --> 03:14:40.820]  Oh, Jesus is good

[03:17:15.620 --> 03:17:22.220]  Well political is claimed that the far right has stolen Christmas by daring to call it Christian
[03:17:24.220 --> 03:17:26.740]  You know, that's basically what they're saying
[03:17:27.740 --> 03:17:34.540]  Saying that people are using it to talk about the Christian origins of our society to push the idea that
[03:17:34.980 --> 03:17:42.660]  Our country needs to be organized around Christian principles. Well, that's great. Just don't miss the Christ and Christmas and
[03:17:43.460 --> 03:17:47.460]  the Christ and our culture that's the key issue there and
[03:17:49.300 --> 03:17:56.100]  So they make this again about left and right and yet that's about far much more than that, isn't it?
[03:17:56.740 --> 03:18:00.500]  You know when you when you look at this and of course people are going to use it for their own benefit
[03:18:00.500 --> 03:18:03.340]  A lot of people use Christmas as an opportunity to make money
[03:18:03.940 --> 03:18:06.660]  That doesn't change and of course
[03:18:07.220 --> 03:18:12.580]  You know, we don't want to one of the key things always wanted to make sure that we didn't do in our family was to
[03:18:13.260 --> 03:18:14.580]  you know
[03:18:14.580 --> 03:18:16.020]  lay down
[03:18:16.020 --> 03:18:20.900]  False details and then saying I'm sticking to that, you know, and one of those false details that's been put in
[03:18:20.900 --> 03:18:23.120]  You know, we talked about things like you know, whether there was
[03:18:23.760 --> 03:18:25.120]  You know three
[03:18:25.120 --> 03:18:29.000]  Three kings or was it a group of wise men or whatever?
[03:18:29.000 --> 03:18:30.200]  He knows different things like that
[03:18:30.200 --> 03:18:37.160]  So we don't nail down those details and add to it, you know giving giving them names and things like that
[03:18:37.160 --> 03:18:39.000]  They're not in the Bible
[03:18:39.000 --> 03:18:43.960]  Instead what we want to do is we want to focus on the central theme that is clear
[03:18:44.200 --> 03:18:47.880]  That is the incarnation of Christ that is and the purpose of it
[03:18:48.040 --> 03:18:52.760]  And so with that we celebrate Christmas and you know, we understand that people will add
[03:18:53.200 --> 03:18:54.440]  You know
[03:18:54.440 --> 03:19:01.040]  Baggage to it like politicians are doing you know and have people want to use it for their brand of Christian nationalism
[03:19:01.400 --> 03:19:05.680]  We have people who try to use it for commercial purposes
[03:19:06.440 --> 03:19:12.440]  You know, we just look at it and say well, we want to not have a situation where it is purged
[03:19:13.000 --> 03:19:18.760]  It's a very important story that's at the center of it and that's what we don't want to lose is the center of it
[03:19:19.000 --> 03:19:21.000]  so politico says
[03:19:21.280 --> 03:19:25.640]  In Europe far-right parties are claiming the festive season as their own
[03:19:26.640 --> 03:19:29.800]  recasting Christmas as a marker of Christian civilization
[03:19:30.880 --> 03:19:34.120]  That is under threat positioning themselves as the last line of defense
[03:19:34.880 --> 03:19:41.640]  Against a supposedly hostile secular left. Well, of course there is a situation in Syria where they were
[03:19:42.520 --> 03:19:47.040]  the government there that Trump was honoring was going around and
[03:19:47.920 --> 03:19:51.880]  Destroying Christmas trees. I saw them as a threat to them. So
[03:19:52.440 --> 03:19:56.400]  There is that and those types of people are being brought in to Europe
[03:19:57.560 --> 03:20:02.920]  Attacks on Christmas markets and so forth. It is very much a part of
[03:20:03.880 --> 03:20:05.880]  The season as one person said
[03:20:06.560 --> 03:20:12.520]  So, how is it that you know, if I sing Christmas carols and put up Christmas trees, how is that a threat to you?
[03:20:13.440 --> 03:20:15.440]  That is because we don't have any tolerance
[03:20:16.120 --> 03:20:18.880]  Anymore Tim Keller who died this year
[03:20:19.880 --> 03:20:23.800]  Said wrote a piece that was republished. It said why Christmas matters
[03:20:24.520 --> 03:20:31.680]  Because it isn't about politics. It's not about social media ratioing as they point out politico got really ratioed when they made that
[03:20:32.280 --> 03:20:34.920]  Ridiculous statement but isn't about any of that stuff
[03:20:36.320 --> 03:20:38.920]  Tim Keller said Christmas is not just a moral paradigm
[03:20:40.200 --> 03:20:48.720]  But an historical event that offers a personal relationship with God is an invitation to know Christ personally and to draw near to God
[03:20:49.480 --> 03:20:53.280]  He points out Hark the Herald Angels sing. He said as we
[03:20:54.160 --> 03:20:56.160]  Lyrics in that veiled in flesh
[03:20:56.400 --> 03:20:58.320]  the Godhead see
[03:20:58.320 --> 03:21:05.280]  Hail the incarnate deity. He said incarnation if you understand that word, you'll understand what Chris Christmas is about
[03:21:05.880 --> 03:21:07.560]  It is frankly doctrinal
[03:21:07.560 --> 03:21:14.480]  He said the invisible has become visible the incorporeal has become corporal in other words. God has become human
[03:21:15.560 --> 03:21:18.680]  This is not only a specific doctrine, but it is also unique
[03:21:20.480 --> 03:21:24.920]  On the one hand you got religions that say that God is so eminent in all things that
[03:21:26.040 --> 03:21:29.440]  Incarnation is normal. That would be if you're Buddhist or Hindu
[03:21:30.320 --> 03:21:32.080]  but on the other hand
[03:21:32.080 --> 03:21:38.600]  Religions like Islam and Judaism said that God is so transcendent over all things that incarnation is impossible
[03:21:39.760 --> 03:21:45.120]  Christianity is different. It doesn't say incarnation is normal, but it doesn't say that it is impossible
[03:21:45.640 --> 03:21:49.260]  It says that God is so eminent than it is possible
[03:21:49.480 --> 03:21:56.040]  But he is so transcendent that the incarnation of God and the person of Jesus Christ is history-altering
[03:21:56.640 --> 03:21:58.480]  life-transforming
[03:21:58.480 --> 03:22:00.480]  paradigm shattering event
[03:22:01.000 --> 03:22:07.680]  Christmas is not just frankly doctrinal. It is boldly historical the manger the resurrection the story of Jesus
[03:22:08.360 --> 03:22:11.080]  Isn't just a story. It's true and
[03:22:11.880 --> 03:22:13.560]  it is
[03:22:13.560 --> 03:22:16.240]  Historical and there's many historical markers in it
[03:22:16.360 --> 03:22:22.400]  the point of Christmas is that Jesus Christ really lived that he really died that happened in history and
[03:22:23.280 --> 03:22:28.000]  That he said these things and so you might think what is the big deal doctrine doesn't matter
[03:22:28.120 --> 03:22:30.760]  What it matters is you're if you're a good person
[03:22:31.520 --> 03:22:37.240]  Well, the irony of it is that that is a doctrine a doctrine of justification by works
[03:22:37.240 --> 03:22:41.840]  What they're saying is that doesn't matter that Jesus actually lived the life
[03:22:41.840 --> 03:22:48.520]  We should have lived and he died the death that we should have died. All that matters is that we follow his teaching
[03:22:49.160 --> 03:22:55.360]  This is a doctrine that says I'm not so bad. I need someone to come and be good for me. I can be good
[03:22:55.800 --> 03:23:00.960]  I'm not so cut off from God and God is not so holy that there has to be punishment for sin
[03:23:01.440 --> 03:23:04.600]  The gospel is not that Jesus Christ comes to earth
[03:23:05.040 --> 03:23:10.080]  Tells us how to live and that we live a good life and then God owes us a blessing
[03:23:10.640 --> 03:23:14.280]  The gospel is that Jesus Christ came to earth lived the life. We should have lived
[03:23:16.160 --> 03:23:22.600]  He died the death that we should have died so that when we believe in him we live a life of grateful joy
[03:23:23.160 --> 03:23:25.160]  That's what Christmas is about
[03:23:26.200 --> 03:23:29.400]  So if these things didn't happen if they're just parables
[03:23:29.880 --> 03:23:35.800]  Then what you're saying is if you try hard enough God will accept you, you know, that's kind of a message of Charles Dickens
[03:23:36.200 --> 03:23:38.200]  Christmas Carol, isn't it?
[03:23:38.760 --> 03:23:40.920]  Well, if Jesus didn't come the story of Christmas is
[03:23:41.560 --> 03:23:47.960]  One more moral paradigm to crush you if Jesus didn't come I wouldn't want to be anywhere around these Christmas stories
[03:23:47.960 --> 03:23:53.560]  That say that we need to be sacrificing that we need to be humble that we need to be loving, you know, the Dickens approach
[03:23:54.280 --> 03:24:00.760]  All that will do is crush you into the ground because if it isn't true that God that John saw him heard him felt him
[03:24:01.240 --> 03:24:04.840]  That Jesus really came to do these things and Christmas would be depressing
[03:24:05.560 --> 03:24:10.680]  If Jesus Christ is actually God come in the flesh though. You're going to know much more about God
[03:24:11.400 --> 03:24:15.640]  You see him weep. You see him upset. You see him cast down
[03:24:16.120 --> 03:24:18.120]  You see him exalted
[03:24:25.320 --> 03:24:29.400]  And that's what we've always tried to focus on with Christmas that's right
[03:24:29.800 --> 03:24:33.880]  It's never been about how much stuff you get or all the toys
[03:24:36.040 --> 03:24:38.040]  It's been about Christ
[03:24:39.240 --> 03:24:42.760]  Our understanding will be a lot more personal and specific if we look at it
[03:24:42.760 --> 03:24:46.120]  And so it is an opportunity for us to think about as he just pointed out
[03:24:46.760 --> 03:24:50.920]  The incarnation and all that entails and why that is necessary, you know
[03:24:51.800 --> 03:24:57.720]  What does a muslim do with their sin? What does a jewish person do with their sin? The temple is gone
[03:24:58.440 --> 03:25:00.440]  There hasn't been any sacrifice for that
[03:25:01.240 --> 03:25:05.400]  Christ is a sacrifice the temple was a picture of him
[03:25:06.840 --> 03:25:08.840]  Just as a tabernacle was
[03:25:09.560 --> 03:25:15.080]  Look at what God has done to get you to know him personally if his son would do all this to become a real person
[03:25:15.080 --> 03:25:19.800]  Don't you think the holy spirit will do anything in his power to make Jesus a real person to you?
[03:25:21.160 --> 03:25:23.160]  So christmas is an invitation
[03:25:28.120 --> 03:25:31.240]  We look at what is happening in texas
[03:25:32.200 --> 03:25:36.600]  600 private schools have applied for a new texas education savings account program
[03:25:37.560 --> 03:25:39.800]  Be very careful of this
[03:25:40.600 --> 03:25:42.840]  They even have one for homeschoolers as well
[03:25:43.800 --> 03:25:47.800]  Be very careful as i've said to people and so many people don't understand
[03:25:48.520 --> 03:25:50.520]  That this is how the government
[03:25:50.600 --> 03:25:52.600]  Uses money, especially the federal government
[03:25:53.240 --> 03:25:58.920]  To control you. This is the whole mechanism of the 2020 covid stuff the government used
[03:25:59.240 --> 03:26:03.080]  You know trump administration used money to bribe and to blackmail people
[03:26:03.800 --> 03:26:07.800]  You know, do you do this and we'll give you bonuses in the hospitals if you kill people with this stuff
[03:26:08.680 --> 03:26:10.680]  and on and on
[03:26:10.680 --> 03:26:12.680]  telling the corporations that
[03:26:13.320 --> 03:26:15.320]  if you don't
[03:26:15.320 --> 03:26:20.840]  Get all your people vaccinated. We're going to kill your government contract. So they want to get you addicted
[03:26:21.560 --> 03:26:23.560]  to government cash
[03:26:23.720 --> 03:26:25.720]  and at first any of these
[03:26:26.760 --> 03:26:28.760]  helping hands from the government
[03:26:29.400 --> 03:26:34.440]  Again, you know the most dangerous words reagan got that right or i'm from the government i'm here to help you
[03:26:34.520 --> 03:26:36.760]  I'm going to help you educate your child. Here's some money
[03:26:37.720 --> 03:26:41.720]  That's going to have some strings attached to it. Maybe not right away, but it'll be down the road
[03:26:42.200 --> 03:26:44.620]  So just be very careful about that. I'm very suspicious
[03:26:45.240 --> 03:26:49.740]  About conservatives handing out cash to get you hooked on education
[03:26:50.360 --> 03:26:55.560]  So they're providing grants of about ten thousand dollars to roughly a hundred thousand students
[03:26:56.200 --> 03:27:01.480]  The pilot program in texas and they're going to be focusing on
[03:27:02.440 --> 03:27:07.160]  Economic thresholds with low-income families, but they think that they're going to have so many people apply
[03:27:07.880 --> 03:27:13.400]  That they'll have to have a lottery. So most of this the ten thousand dollars is going to be for a
[03:27:14.200 --> 03:27:16.200]  private school and
[03:27:17.400 --> 03:27:20.920]  That is 85 percent of the statewide average that they spend on
[03:27:21.480 --> 03:27:23.480]  state and local funding for
[03:27:23.880 --> 03:27:29.400]  Government schools, and so it's kind of interesting the government schools. They spend on average
[03:27:30.580 --> 03:27:38.040]  12.3 thousand dollars the private schools then will get ten point four thousand dollars 85 percent of the government schools for the home schoolers
[03:27:38.660 --> 03:27:40.660]  two thousand dollars
[03:27:41.400 --> 03:27:47.960]  That's 17 percent one sixth of the what the government schools get so just understand that
[03:27:48.600 --> 03:27:50.840]  Even with that two thousand dollars they can attach
[03:27:51.560 --> 03:27:54.200]  All kinds of strings to it. You'd be very very careful of it
[03:27:55.320 --> 03:28:00.920]  After thousands of years and i've seen this now on several different secular sites after thousands of years
[03:28:01.860 --> 03:28:06.520]  Archaeologists think that they finally found noah's ark and this is a site that they've been talking about for decades
[03:28:06.920 --> 03:28:13.020]  What's gotten them really excited is that they have found that it isn't just kind of a geological
[03:28:14.280 --> 03:28:16.680]  You know formation there in the shape of a boat
[03:28:17.240 --> 03:28:20.360]  That maybe is petrified wood or whatever but as they're looking at
[03:28:21.320 --> 03:28:25.640]  The area they're finding all these pottery fragments that would say that humans were there
[03:28:25.720 --> 03:28:27.720]  so they're very excited about this, you know, I had
[03:28:28.040 --> 03:28:30.040]  a pastor once who said
[03:28:31.000 --> 03:28:33.400]  If they went out tomorrow and they found noah's ark
[03:28:34.120 --> 03:28:38.120]  He would still have people who would not believe in any of this stuff
[03:28:38.200 --> 03:28:43.400]  They find some other explanation for it. And of course, that's true. You know, we see that with dna, don't we?
[03:28:44.360 --> 03:28:49.720]  You see that with intelligent design all the microbiology and we see it with things like the shroud of turin
[03:28:49.960 --> 03:28:53.000]  you know, they'll push back on it or they'll find some reason but
[03:28:53.960 --> 03:28:55.000]  you know
[03:28:55.000 --> 03:28:57.000]  any of these things
[03:28:57.080 --> 03:29:00.440]  It really kind of goes back to what we're talking about with the dickens story
[03:29:01.160 --> 03:29:03.160]  and contrasting that with
[03:29:03.480 --> 03:29:05.960]  christ talking about lazarus and the rich man
[03:29:06.760 --> 03:29:11.560]  And the rich man saying please let me go back and warn my relatives. I don't want them to suffer this fate
[03:29:12.360 --> 03:29:17.000]  And um, and he's told he said well, they've got moses and the prophets that they won't listen to them
[03:29:17.640 --> 03:29:21.320]  They won't listen to somebody who comes back from the dead and if they won't listen to moses and the prophets
[03:29:21.320 --> 03:29:22.840]  They're not going to listen
[03:29:22.840 --> 03:29:24.840]  to somebody some
[03:29:24.900 --> 03:29:26.280]  archaeological nerd
[03:29:26.280 --> 03:29:31.880]  One is a short pants he or she and the short pants and their shovel are going to tell me we found noah's ark
[03:29:32.600 --> 03:29:36.920]  They're not going to listen to that either. So it's really not about that now. Certainly we find
[03:29:37.780 --> 03:29:40.760]  Interesting archaeological things that back the bible up
[03:29:41.320 --> 03:29:43.320]  You know for the longest time
[03:29:43.560 --> 03:29:46.680]  The criticism against the bible in the early 1800s was all
[03:29:47.540 --> 03:29:50.680]  Archaeological well, there's no evidence that any of these civilizations ever existed
[03:29:51.400 --> 03:29:57.740]  There's no indication that there was ever a hittite civilization. Now. It's one of the best known civilizations after archaeology
[03:29:58.440 --> 03:30:00.040]  and
[03:30:00.040 --> 03:30:02.040]  We see that saw that
[03:30:02.040 --> 03:30:05.320]  Take the kids to the british museum. We're just looking at some movies that we got transferred
[03:30:06.200 --> 03:30:08.120]  and
[03:30:08.120 --> 03:30:09.960]  Looked at that as we saw
[03:30:09.960 --> 03:30:13.240]  all the different things that were the antiquities it was just like
[03:30:13.880 --> 03:30:15.880]  Seeing the bible
[03:30:16.200 --> 03:30:18.200]  spread out in real
[03:30:19.400 --> 03:30:25.320]  Real format there. So it is a very interesting thing. It'd be interesting to see what happens with this. But again
[03:30:26.120 --> 03:30:28.040]  You've got the bible folks
[03:30:28.040 --> 03:30:29.160]  Read it
[03:30:29.160 --> 03:30:31.160]  Have a good day
[03:30:39.080 --> 03:30:41.080]  The common man
[03:30:44.520 --> 03:30:47.160]  They created common core that dumbed down our children
[03:30:47.480 --> 03:30:54.680]  They created common paths to track and control us their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing
[03:30:55.560 --> 03:30:57.560]  and the communist future
[03:30:58.600 --> 03:31:02.200]  They see the common man as simple unsophisticated ordinary
[03:31:03.240 --> 03:31:07.720]  But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of god
[03:31:08.680 --> 03:31:13.560]  That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away
[03:31:14.360 --> 03:31:16.520]  Their most powerful weapons are isolation
[03:31:17.140 --> 03:31:19.140]  deception intimidation
[03:31:19.480 --> 03:31:24.040]  They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us
[03:31:25.000 --> 03:31:28.760]  It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide
