As the clock strikes 13, it's Friday the 9th of February, Year of Our Lord 2024.
Well, today we're going to take a look at Biden versus Putin.
What a contrast we've seen in the last 24 hours.
Of course, mainstream media is reacting to Tucker's Putin interview by saying it was just a propaganda victory for Putin.
And it was.
It showed that all of the talk about how he was failing was all projection.
And then on the other hand, we see that Biden has been judged as, yeah, he's guilty, but I'm not going to charge him.
I'm not going to charge him. Why?
Because of his mental incapacity.
What a contrast. A shrewd, ruthless Putin versus a teetering, senile criminal.
And then the question is, is this whole thing a setup for Biden?
Is that really what the Democrats want?
We'll talk about that when we come back.
stay with us well as we go through this mock election and that's one of the things that
the president said, you know, you got these two parties and they pretty much control everything don't they? And he's right. He put his finger on it at the very beginning that's where the corruption begins. Folks, the corruption begins with our two-party system Bye.
That's not in the Constitution.
That's not a given.
It is a duopoly.
It is a uniparty.
It is a cartel that controls the elections.
And it has gotten incredibly ridiculous.
And so we have a situation where we've had primaries lately, and you have Biden and Trump winning all the primaries because there's no competition.
You have the Democrat Party in Florida said we're not going to allow any competitors even on the ballot.
You look at what happened in Nevada.
Trump didn't put his name on the ballot.
And as a result, Nikki Haley lost to none of the above.
And Pence still had his name on the ballot.
But she got whopped by none of the above.
And of course, none of the above included Trump, and they orchestrated it that way.
They're very clever what they're doing.
If you look in Vegas, Biden won the Nevada primary with no opposition and got 89% in Nevada.
He got 96% in South Carolina.
This is like a North Korea or a Soviet Union-style election or even a Russian-Putin election where there's nobody else on the ballot.
And then everybody says, look at how beloved and powerful and wonderful our leaders are because they get 80-90%.
Because there's no primary.
There's no debate.
There are no issues being discussed.
We're simply being told by the government media and the alternative media, For its own reasons, we're being told that it's a foregone conclusion.
We've got these polls here, so we might as well not even bother to have the election.
We're told that before any of the primaries started.
We're being told that now.
And so you have these dueling narratives from the two factions of the media that are aligned with the two parties.
Each of them creating expectations that their candidate is going to win.
And of course, it's all going to hit the fan one way or the other because each side believes it's a foregone conclusion.
This is North Korea politics.
This is not an election.
It's a farce.
An absolute farce.
And nowhere is this more evident than with Biden and the Democrats.
And so, his primary challenger, Dean Phillips, said on Sunday that warning signs remain for Biden.
He said he should have passed the torch to somebody else.
And of course, he's trying to be deferential, diplomatic.
He says, I respect Joe Biden.
That's what I mean. You say something like that, it's like, oh, this guy is really being diplomatic.
I respect Joe Biden.
I've never respected Joe Biden.
I didn't respect Joe Biden when he had a brain.
I certainly don't respect him now as this empty suit puppet.
He was one of the most authoritarian people.
Anti-liberty politicians I have ever seen in my life.
And I've talked about it many times.
That was what was on display when he came after Clarence Thomas.
He didn't come after him for the he-said-she-said nonsense with Anita Hill and that kind of stuff.
No, he came after Clarence Thomas because Clarence Thomas supported natural rights and the Bill of Rights.
And that outraged Joe Biden.
He hates the idea.
That you and I have any rights.
And of course, that has been evidenced in his administration.
It's not something that is unique to him in the Democrat Party.
And so, Dean Phillips says, I respect Joe Biden.
He should have passed the torch.
This was not a mission for me, but somebody had to do this.
He said, Jimmy Carter was at 58% in January of 1980.
He said, and that's when he lost to Reagan.
He said, Joe Biden is at 38%.
I'm just saying, we're trying to wake up our party.
We are the progressive party, and we should be moving forward.
I see the writing on the wall, he said.
So how do you remove Joe Biden without, you know, having some kind of a civil war within the party like Trump has unleashed upon the GOP? How do you do that?
You know, he's got a lot of people that are invested in his administration, concerned that they're going to lose their position, a power, privilege, and profits.
And so they're going to fiercely defend him.
So how do you move him out of the way?
Voila! We have a special prosecutor who comes to the rescue.
A man ruled too senile to stand trial, but still fine to run the country, says the Babylon Bee.
That's not satire. That's summary.
That's a summary of what the special prosecutor said.
I actually call him Special Counsel, Robert Herr.
I wonder if he's related to Ben.
But anyway, what he left out of the headline was the government rules that he's a criminal who is too senile to stand trial, but still fine to run the country.
Babylon Bee says, puts the words in Herr's mouth, I mean, seriously, have you seen that guy?
He said to reporters. I tried to ask him questions, and he attempted to put my notepad in his mouth.
The dude is totally zonked out for sure.
I mean, we all knew this, right?
In spite of the report detailing Biden's late-stage dementia, the special counsel confirmed that Biden is just fine to continue running the country.
Oh, yeah, that's no problem, he said.
You heard the press secretary.
And when reporters approached the president for a statement, Biden responded by attempting to put the microphone in his mouth.
Yeah. Actually, he had something else to say about it.
He was very, very angry about this.
And he said to them, he said, how dare you?
Actually, he said, how the hell dare he?
And he said, forcefully defended himself against charges that he suffered from memory loss and then immediately confused leaders of different countries.
This is how ridiculous this whole thing is.
Hearst's report said that Biden's memory was, quote, significantly limited both during his recorded interviews and with the ghostwriter in 2017 and in his interview in our office in 2023.
Unquote. Well, of course, nobody is saying that about Fauci.
We understand that when he says more than 100 times, I can't recall.
We understand that Fauci doesn't have dementia.
He has delusions of power.
He is a dictator who can get away with anything.
And, of course, he's got a book that he's about to release as well.
I guess he also has a ghostwriter.
These guys don't write their own books.
Nobody does anymore.
Of these people.
But yeah, that's a common tactic.
I don't recall. I don't recall.
But in Biden's case, I actually believe it.
The report said he did not remember even within several years when his son died.
And that's what made Biden angry.
His son, Beau. How the hell dare he raise that, he said.
He thought to himself that it wasn't any of their damn business, he said.
His son died in 2015 from brain cancer.
I don't need anyone to remind me when he passed away.
Ah, but he does.
He does. He doesn't know the year.
He knows his son is gone, but he doesn't know the year.
That is a hallmark of all of this.
Biden also said, my memory is fine.
In response to reporters' questions later in his remarks, he mistakenly referred to Egypt's President Sisi as the President of Mexico.
As you know, initially, the President of Mexico, Sisi, did not want to open up the gate to allow humanitarian...
Yeah, yeah.
He was talking about Mexico.
The report also threw down on whether a jury would convict the president, you know, because he's just this kindly old man who wants to start a nuclear war, who comes after all of his political enemies, who is seeking to destroy our country in every way that he can.
We've also considered that at trial, Mr.
Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, As a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.
Based on our direct interactions with and observations of him, he is someone for whom many jurors will want to identify reasonable doubt.
It'd be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him.
By then, a former president.
That doesn't seem to bother these prosecutors with Trump, does it?
By then, a former president well into his 80s.
It would be difficult to convince a jury to convict him of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness.
Well, again, they had no problem giving life sentences to elderly men there at Janeway the 6th.
Their only crime was they needed to use the restroom, as elderly men typically need to.
And they asked where there's a restroom, and the cops who were standing there at the open door said, no, right in here.
And now they're looking at effectively a life sentence.
They're in their 70s, late 70s.
They're looking at a sentence of 5, 10 years.
That's what Biden has done.
But, of course, he is a well-meaning elderly old man with a poor memory.
I don't think so. I think, you know, he got pretty angry about the memory thing.
Isn't it interesting that he didn't really care to defend himself from being called a criminal?
Well, I may be a criminal, but I've got a great memory.
Just ask those January the Sixers.
I come after any of my enemies, and I never forget who my enemies are.
That's what Biden is.
So, just more double standards, more blatant corruption.
Trump, on the other hand, as we all know, when he goes to trial, is his biggest enemy.
He does not come across as sympathetic and well-meaning.
He comes across as an abusive narcissist, as he did with the E. Jean Carroll trial, where he comes in and brags about the fact that throughout history, celebrities have been able to grab women any way that they wish, at any time that they wish.
Fortunately or unfortunately, yes.
And I am a celebrity.
Bingo! Five million dollars.
He complains more about that.
He gets another 83 million dollars added to it.
Yeah, because he's entitled.
He's entitled to grab women.
He's entitled to grab documents.
He's entitled to do anything he wants.
And again, the charges against him are, in a sense, I agree with Trump in his comments about this.
The charges against Biden were actually more serious, were actually more willful in terms of these document charges.
Biden willfully kept classified information, but now he's just going to be an elderly man with poor memory.
New York Post says that, again, Berg concluded, that, her concluded, that he willfully retained and disclosed classified materials.
Biden, though, is 81% He's just a well-meaning old man who wants to start World War III. If he gets another chance at it.
Biden 81 flouted legal restrictions on keeping sensitive documents throughout his 36 years in the Senate.
He did this when he was not a not-so-well-meaning elderly old man.
And even after his eight-year vice presidency, he stashed them in cardboard boxes surrounded by household detrius.
Garbage, in other words.
Garbage in the garage. Investigators even uncovered a recording of Biden confiding in his ghost writer, he doesn't write his books, Mark Zwanitzer, in April of 2017, three months after leaving the vice presidency, that he still had official records because, quote, I didn't want to turn him in.
Sounds very much like Trump, doesn't it?
As the New York Post points out, facing 40 criminal charges, up to 450 years in prison for resisting handing over the documents after leaving the White House in 2021.
But Biden told his biographer, I don't want to turn him in.
I'm not going to turn him in. So, the question is this.
Will the GOP ignore the crime?
Will they impeach him?
Again, that's not going to work out to their political benefit.
As James Carville understood, and they understand what they're doing with Trump.
They want to run against Trump.
And quite frankly, the CIA, which controls both of them, both of them, wants a rematch.
So the GOP is going to ignore the crime, as James Carville pointed out.
They're going to impeach Biden?
How do we get so lucky?
Right? It's going to make him so popular with his people.
That's what it's done for Trump.
Will the GOP focus on senility?
Is this a Department of Justice ploy to get the GOP to remove Biden so that the Democrats don't have to?
Think about that.
Swannister also told her as investigators that he deleted some audio files of Biden after the special investigation began and was aware that there was a probe going on when he did so.
So are they going to come after his ghostwriter?
Probably not, because he's a Democrat.
No, they'll lock up elderly men who used the bathroom and then left in the Capitol building.
They'll lock them up for years, for a life sentence.
But none of these Democrats will have anything done to them.
We all know that's what this country has turned into.
So, quite frankly, the GOP will ignore the crime.
They'll talk about the dual treatment, but they'll ignore the crime.
I think they both ought to be locked up, frankly.
I think Trump should be locked up.
I think Biden should be locked up.
Any way that we can get them.
Because their real crime is democide.
And we're not going to get a conviction on that because all the rest of these politicians and courts and all the rest of them were partners in that crime.
So we're not going to get anybody locked up for murdering us.
We're not going to get anybody locked up for medical martial law and all the rest of the stuff that went with the lockdowns and the masks and everything else.
So I'm all for locking these guys up for whatever excuse you can get.
Give them 50 years for walking across the street if you can get that.
I'm fine with that. I know it's a miscarriage of justice, but I don't want to lock these guys up for anything we can get them for.
That's what they did with Dennis Hastert, the pedophile, Speaker of the House.
Locked him up for something that was technically a crime, should not be a crime.
Anyway, he says, the author, the ghostwriter, says, I'm not going to say how much of the percentage it was or my motivation of deleting these tapes.
Well, I guess he's got Democrat privileges, right?
Authorities also found information in the notebooks that remains classified, remains classified up to top secret level and includes sensitive compartmented information.
Including from compartments used to protect information concerning human intelligence sources.
In other words, if this information were to get out, it could result in the arrest or death of informants and things like that.
Much like Hillary Clinton's stuff.
Which she didn't keep in a bunch of garbage in the garage next to a Corvette.
She put it out on the internet for people to be able to see.
And that thing happened to her.
Trump was going to lock her up, remember?
Then he decided that, you know, they're such good friends of mine, we'll just let bygones be bygones.
Besides, there's all those things that we did together with Jeffrey Epstein, you know, when I used to party with the Clintons.
And Jeffrey Epstein said, if people knew what I know about Trump and the Clintons, he said in 2016 they would cancel this election, not having either one of those guys.
So perhaps that was why Trump backed off of all this stuff.
But he does say that we have a two-tiered justice system.
Certainly that is right, especially when it comes to his supporters.
There's maybe you should say a three-tier justice system.
We have like the caste system in India.
We've got at least three different levels there.
You know, the ordinary people that his supporters, that he throws under the bus, does nothing about.
They get really hammered, don't they?
As we see with January 6th people.
Trump says, this has now proven to be a two-tiered system of justice and unconstitutional selective prosecution.
Screaming in uppercase.
All uppercase. Then he says, the Biden documents case is 100 times different and more severe than mine.
I did nothing wrong, and I cooperated far more.
What Biden did is outrageously criminal.
He had 50 years of documents, 50 times more than I had, and he willfully retained them.
He said, I was covered by the Presidential Records Act.
Secret Service was always around, and GSA delivered the documents.
Deranged Special Counsel Jack Smith should drop this case immediately, he says.
Well, probably for that, but you need to be locked up for the people you killed and the businesses and lives that you destroyed.
Report alleges that there were decades of hoarding by Biden, including documents concerning military and foreign policy in Afghanistan, as well as notebooks and handwritten entries about national security and foreign policy issues, quote, implicating sensitive intelligence sources and methods.
Quote, in Mr. Biden's garage, agents found several documents with classification markings dating from Biden's time in the Senate in the 1970s.
Again, 50 years. It also goes on to say, Biden kept many of the documents to inform the writing of two memoirs published in 2007 and 2017,
as well as, quote, to document his legacy and to cite as evidence that he was a man of presidential timber.
Yeah, well, that's, I guess so, because that's the kind of people we have for president now, isn't it?
Narcissistic criminals.
But this is all about me.
Everything is about me.
You know, all of the different wars, they're all about me.
Everything is about me. Everything in the world is about me.
And so it's mine.
It's my documents, as Trump said.
They're mine. You can't have them.
They're mine. It's all about me.
Me, me, me, me, me. At least three times Mr.
Biden read from classified entries aloud to his ghostwriter nearly verbatim.
That's what the prosecutor said.
Her investigation into the president was notably quiet, with very few leaks to the media.
Unlike the headline-grabbing probe of Trump on similar grounds.
Everything about it, as the New York Post points out, is very different.
Like a big production out of everything with Trump.
Asked about reports that President Trump had kept classified documents at his own home.
Biden wondered how, quote, anyone could be that irresponsible, unquote.
Yeah, I wonder.
I wonder how anybody could be that irresponsible.
Well, again, one law, one rule for thee, and another one for me.
By the way, it's part of this interview that we're going to talk about next.
The part where Putin talked about Biden.
He is convinced that Biden is not running the country.
He says it's plain for anyone to see for themselves.
I agree. He said his sources have revealed to him that Joe Biden is not running the country.
You need sources for that?
I don't need any sources to tell me that Biden's not running the country.
You just see it when you look at this guy.
He says, Biden is not running the country.
He says, let's say we have good sources that confirm that, but it's plain for anyone to see for themselves.
The U.S. has now entered into a dark period.
It has unaccountable leadership.
He said, the same forces which have always run it.
You may change presidents, but you don't change those in real power.
Who would that be?
This former KGB agent.
He knows the CIA. He knows who he's up against.
He knows the CIA has run this country.
Certainly since the JFK assassination, perhaps even before that.
That is who we have to deal with, he said.
Joe Biden is just a facade for this power structure.
He's just an empty suit, a face.
And so is Trump. He has to deal with the people who have real power.
The CIA. And then he said about the 2020 election, Putin said, I would rather not get into domestic American politics.
But I will say that my embassy reported that your southern border was better run than that 2020 election.
So he's got those soundbites ready, and he's able to deliver them, unlike Biden.
It's kind of sad in a sense, really, you know, when you look at it.
This is somebody who's had to find his way up to the KGB. He has a formidable intelligence and personality to be able to do that.
And we have these empty suit puppets who only want to talk about themselves.
That's all they want to talk about.
These actors. We've got people who are no different than Zelensky.
Have you noticed that? You know, Zelensky was this bad comedian.
We've got a bad reality TV show host on one side, and then on the other side, we've got this bad plagiarist who doesn't know what he's doing, and now is senile as well.
And those are the kinds of people that the CIA puts in charge in Ukraine, the kind of people that the CIA puts in charge in the United States.
But that was a good soundbite.
Your southern border is better run than your 2020 election.
And of course, you know, it was the Trump administration, whether Trump was in charge or the other people were calling the shots.
It's the Trump administration that did that as a lockdown, mail-out-the-ballot election, and have left that in place.
When Carlson signed a poll showing support for Putin, Putin said, I don't know if that should be taken seriously, but Russian ideals have support.
We believe in traditional values.
Marriage is between a man and a woman.
Men are men, and women are women.
And this is one of the things I've noticed, and this is what both Tucker and Putin are tapping into.
That if you want to make a hero out of somebody for the conservatives, all you have to do Is have the left attack them.
As soon as they attack Trump, he goes straight up in the polls.
And then the more they indict him, the higher he goes in the polls.
They're not interested in talking about how he governed, how he may govern.
They don't want to talk about any issues.
Nothing. It's just simply, do these people that I hate hate you?
All right, then I'm on your side.
Is that kind of just incredibly naive?
The Gellianism.
That is our downfall.
And so the same thing is at play here.
Well, if Biden and the mainstream media hates Putin, he must be good.
No, he's not good. Putin is not a good guy, folks.
He's not a good guy.
He's a more traditional dictator.
And he's pushing back against this LGBT insanity and against the removal of cultural stuff because he's trying to build up his country.
In the same way that she is trying to build up his country, but that doesn't make them good guys.
They're very nationalistic.
We have people who are leading us in the West who are seeking to destroy our countries.
They're trying to lead us into a suicidal Kool-Aid cult.
That's the only difference between them.
But Putin has been at Davos and all the rest of the places for the longest time.
He pushes the vaccines.
He's got a 15-minute city.
And he's part of the globalist elite.
He wants his own CBDC currency.
These people are competing against the United States with their bricks, you know, competing against the dollar and things like that.
But they're just different criminal gangs.
And I keep telling people it's the same thing at the international level.
You've got Xi competing against the United States and Putin against the United States and they've got something of a tenuous alliance between them.
Remember, we had Stalin and Hitler who had a temporary alliance and then they went after each other.
But that doesn't make Hitler or Stalin a good guy.
And it doesn't make Xi or Putin a good guy just because they're after a bad guy, Biden.
And it doesn't make Trump a good guy because Biden is attacking him.
You've got to look at what these people do.
And if you look at what they do, you understand this is a Game of Thrones.
It's a bunch of organized criminals who are coming after each other.
None of them have our interest at heart.
None of them have the interest of their own people at heart either.
Their own people are not essential.
Their own people are expendable.
They all regard their own people as a basket of deplorables.
It's just that Hillary Clinton will say that out loud about the group that is opposed to her.
They all regard us that way.
And they probably have some kind of a basket of deplorable ceremony at the Davos or something in the back room.
He went on to say, well, it's not for me to say who's going to be the next president in the U.S. That's for the CIA to decide.
No, he says, we had good relations when Mr.
Trump was president. There was no war.
Our relations were at a high point.
That said, nothing is predictable or stays the same.
We will have to see.
But he is a Davos globalist.
He said that he used to laugh at the jokes of Zelensky when he was a comedian.
He said, let's get back to laughs.
He wondered at the fact that no one from the White House has reached out to him since he congratulated Biden on his election.
Maybe Biden's forgotten the phone number.
I mean, he can't remember when his son died.
He can't remember anything. Maybe he just lost the phone number somewhere.
It's puzzling to us that communications are colder now than they were during the Cold War.
And we talked about the border.
He said, Biden's work to open the America Southern border to illegal aliens.
He said, we Russians find it ironically amusing that your Congress will spend billions protecting foreign borders but neglect its own.
It's quite laughable but deadly.
You see, he's in this interview saying, Putin ran through all of the conservative talking points.
And that's what Tucker and Putin got out of it.
We'll talk more about that after the break.
But, you know, it was, you know, he understands what conservatives want to hear.
And, of course, we all know that that's the truth.
I mean, he's not lying.
We understand that's true.
He affirms that truth.
And the conservatives say, yeah, yeah, he's our guy.
No, Putin is not your guy.
Tucker's not your guy. Trump's not your guy.
Biden's not your guy. None of them are on your side.
They're con men who will tell you the truth so they can then rip you off later in some way or the other.
He said people are dying daily crossing your border in an uncontrolled way.
It's a free-for-all. The world hasn't seen anything like it in the modern era.
It's reckless for a country to throw itself wide open like that.
And then on climate change, he pretended that he's an opponent of climate change.
He's with Davos. He's with Davos.
But he had this to say to Tucker.
He said, humanity is not even a type 1 civilization on the Kardashev scale.
I have no idea what that is.
You know, of course, here in America, we only have the Cardassian scale.
Because ratings are the only thing that matters.
You know what I mean? Taylor Swift's and the Kim Kardashian's and the Donald Trump's.
That's the only thing that matters to these reality hucksters.
He says, if we can't harness the energy potential of the planet, how can we control the climate?
I'm more concerned with real issues.
Climate change is not one of them.
The Earth does a fairly good job of regulating itself, and if Siberia gets a little warmer, all the better.
More farmland for Russia, he said.
On transgenderism, I liked this quote.
He's got better writers, or he thought this stuff up himself, I don't know, but at least he can remember the lines.
And he had some real zingers.
On transgenderism, Putin said, it's interesting to me that all the things which used to be a target of blackmail, Are now badges of honor.
That's got to be a problem for the KGB and for Mossad.
You know, how do we blackmail people anymore?
You know, we used to have Jeffrey Epstein for that.
But now these people like Sam Britton and Richard Levine are out there in public.
You know, we... It used to be that Jager Hoover would have to do that stuff behind closed doors.
And now he could perhaps get appointed at the top of a bureaucracy just on that alone.
He says, now it's a badge of honor, the things we used to blackmail people for.
How does a KGB stay in business?
And Mossad, right?
He says... We certainly don't force our children into it.
Yeah, he knows what he's doing, unlike Biden.
Finally, you know, just to contrast this, Nikki Haley goes on Saturday Night Live, because again, on our side, it's all about entertainment.
We've got Zelensky, the comedian.
We've got Trump, the apprentice, reality TV show.
We've got Nikki Haley, who goes on Saturday Night Live and does a really cringy cold opening and cameo there.
Talks about how old Trump is.
It's all about personalities, isn't it?
It's about personalities.
It's about entertainment.
Nothing about policies.
No questions asked about impending World War III because she's all on board with that.
And Saturday Night Live is fine to let her go.
You know, we can complain about Trump's age, but will anybody get any older if Nikki Haley becomes president?
Or is she going to blow us all up?
That's the key issue.
And then you've got Trump.
We made headlines this week.
Defending Bush over Bud Light.
He was even trolled by the Babylon Bee, saying maybe he'll make Dylan Mulvaney his vice president.
Trump has always pushed transgender.
He's one of the first people to push that.
He, in his Miss Universe contest, he...
It's going to put men in. It stood up for the male competitors in that.
Way before it was cool, Trump was on board with that.
Yeah, it's not just Ukraine that puts comedians in as puppets.
It is a familiar CIA tactic.
We'll be right back.

You're listening to the David Knight Show.

Music playing...
you you Who is this guy?
Oh yeah, that's Putin.
Back when he was being celebrated at Davos and all these charitable events.
I told you...
And the audience of celebrities loves this.
There's Sharon Stone singing along and laughing.
And linger until...
Yeah, there's Kurt Russell.
It's getting too long.
Tell me in the middle...
He's rocking the room here.
Everybody loves this karaoke.
Maybe this is why they don't let people into Bilderberg.
Maybe it's just so cringy they don't want any videos existing.
Though we were apart, you part of me still.
For you were my thrill, on Blueberry Hill.
Yeah, of course, you know, NATO wants to tell us that there is some kind of a domino theory, but he's doing Fats Domino.
That's the only domino that's involved here in this Ukraine.
NATO conflict.
I'm surprised that Tucker didn't ask him to sing.
He's a real pro at that.
Yeah, before he became the chosen villain of American left, the Democrats, he was loved everywhere.
He was a Davos man.
He was a friend of presidents, Democrat and Republican.
Just take a look at this.
Here he is with Barack Obama.
Oh, close friends here.
Whispering. Yeah.
Oh, yeah. Look at that.
We're having lots of fun.
I love this guy.
Is this a man that Americans can trust?
I looked the man in the eye.
I found it to be very straightforward and trustworthy.
Bush liked him. We had a very good dialogue.
I was able to get a sense of his soul.
I wouldn't have invited him to my ranch if I didn't trust him.
Well, here's Biden 20 years ago praising Vladimir Putin for moving toward democracy.
I'm close to amazed by how far Putin seems to have come in making throwing his lot with the West.
I don't think anybody since Peter the Great has made such a significant, at least initial move, To the West.
Oh yeah, Prince Lovenin.
Nicholas Sarkozy.
Mr. Putin, he's very smart.
But you do better than most people.
Yeah, I do. We had a really good, blunt relationship.
Did Putin ever renege on a personal agreement he made to you?
No, he did not. So behind closed doors, he could be trusted?
He kept his word in all the deals we made.
We have to understand...
He had a blunt relationship with him.
...president of Russia has to deal with, and they're unlike any of the problems that any of the rest of us in the Western world have to deal with.
This is Tony Blair....with an economy that needs absolutely fundamental restructuring, civic society that needs to be rebuilt after the years of communism, and external relations that have a whole series of historical legacies that have to be overcome.
So I don't think it's surprising That he is and presents himself as a strong leader, as a patriotic leader for Russia.
I am confident that this new level of cooperation between NATO's members and Russia will now change the world and for the better.
That's the NATO Secretary General of the time.
But ultimately he's going to take over all of Ukraine.
Yeah, there you go. He was loved.
He was loved. And again, ultimately he's going to take over all of Ukraine.
That's true as well. And so all these presidents love him.
Obama loved him.
We had Biden loved him.
George W. Bush loved him.
Bill Clinton said we had a blunt relationship.
I don't know if they were sharing pot or what it was that they were doing.
The French leader loved him.
The British leader loved him.
The NATO Secretary General loved him.
Trump loved him. But then they made him a villain.
And yet, the reality is that Putin is still there with the globalists.
I mean, he may not be singing Blueberry Hill at Davos meetings or charity meetings or whatever, but this is what he said about the pandemic.
There have always been people who think we shouldn't do any vaccines at all, anti-vaxxers, some call them.
These vaccine dissidents, we have a lot of them here, and, well, globally, there is a lot of people like that.
Experts believe that when we have massive vaccination, sweeping vaccination, then it might be all good soon.
And there's no need to do a vaccine, some people think, after that.
Because there's no disease, there's no virus.
But as soon as the overall vaccination level goes down, reaches some certain threshold, here you have it.
An outbreak. And people are running, stomping on each other to get their shot, but it's too late.
So we should...
Listen carefully, not to those people who do not understand about these things, who believe rumors.
We should listen to professionals.
It happens all over the world.
Some say there is no such virus, there is no pandemic.
People do say...
Some people, adults, well-educated people, they say it out loud.
I don't know. Where did they get that?
It happens all over the world.
Yes, it's just something all the leaders of the world agreed upon.
Can you imagine that?
Yeah, I can imagine that.
I see you guys singing in your...
Little clubs and all the rest of the stuff.
I can imagine you guys agreeing upon that.
I can imagine Trump and Trudeau and Putin and Biden and Boris Johnson and dictator Dan.
I can imagine them all agreeing on this because, as we've heard them say over and over again, we used to hear Bush say, I wish I could be like the Chinese leader and just tell everybody what to do.
And it was just a wish fulfillment for all these people.
They all want to be dictators.
They have things that they can do that you got people in my way.
I want to get the law out of the way, the courts out of the way, the legislature out of the way.
I just want to do whatever I want to do and give money to whoever I want to become more powerful.
It's funny how much alike they all are.
And of course, it was just last week that Putin dropped his vaccine mandates.
He had mandates just like Biden did.
And so he's on board with the mRNA shots.
He's on board with the pandemic.
He's on board with that narrative.
He's on board with CBDC and with Global ID. He's got his own version of 15-minute cities, just like Trump's got his freedom cities.
He certainly is on board with censorship.
I don't know where these anti-vaxxers get this stuff.
You know, this is a lot of misinformation.
We just got to shut that down.
People are going to die. Right there.
Same talking points as everybody.
They say the same.
They do the same thing.
It's like the Patty Duke show.
You know, they walk alike.
They talk alike. At times, you know, you can lose your mind.
When leaders are two of a kind.
And he's gelling dissidents.
He's gelling journalists.
You know, like we jailed Julian Assange in the Trump administration.
Trying to kill him. He's part of the KGB. They do coups.
They do invasions.
They're just like the USA. Why can't they get along?
I mean, these guys, I think they do behind the scenes.
There is a competition with these people.
And they all want to be the one leader.
So up to a certain point, they can all agree on these things.
And they all agree that they want to have a global government.
It's just they're fighting over who's going to sit on the throne.
That's what it is. There's no disagreement that there should be a global government, that there should be no dissent, no free press, that you listen to the people in authority, as he said.
It's just that they want to be the ones sitting on the throne.
It is a game of thrones.
And so, I think it's interesting, one of the most interesting things about this is how Biden's incapacitation was projected onto Putin.
Now, I don't know if Putin had health issues or whatever, you know, they'd say he's looking there and his hands are trembling and stuff.
Maybe he had something at that point in time that was physical, I don't know.
But he certainly doesn't have the kind of mental impairment that we see with Biden.
None whatsoever. Putin devoted a substantial part of the interview to complaining that Ukraine had been on the verge of agreeing to a deal to end hostilities at talks in Istanbul in April of 2022.
That's Istanbul, not Constantinople.
Remember that song? Anyway, once the Russian troops withdrew from near Kiev.
Well, now let them think how to reverse the situation, he said.
We're not against it.
It would be funny if it were not so sad that this endless mobilization in Ukraine, the hysteria, the domestic problems, sooner or later, he said, it will result in an agreement.
He's playing a long game, and he knows that America doesn't do well in a long game in wars, even when we're using surrogates to fight our wars for us.
Putin tells Tucker Carlson that the U.S., quote, needs to stop supplying weapons to Ukraine.
Well, see, I think we can all agree on that as well.
Conservatives really don't want to spend the money.
We don't want to get drawn into a war.
We don't have any gripe with Putin because, again, you know, these people are fighting each other because they want to sit on the throne.
We don't want a throne.
In a rambling two-hour interview in Moscow, says The Guardian, that's how they characterize it, a rambling two-hour interview, Putin's first with a Western media outlet since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022.
I think it's interesting that for two hours, Putin laid down the talking points that he wanted.
He did a very, very long excursion for the American public into Russian history, going back to medieval times.
And he was able to talk about issues.
He was able to talk about history.
He had some obviously prepared zingers that he threw out there.
I read a couple of them to you earlier.
Unlike Trump, who can talk for two hours about himself.
About himself.
The man has no depth of anything.
It's all about himself.
Yeah, Putin was talking about his agenda.
Of course, that's ultimately about himself.
He referred to Zelensky as a, quote, Ukrainian pimp, unquote, and also rat-like, rat-like.
Carlson's tone says the Guardian was less pugnacious in the interview with Putin, who he referred to as Mr.
President throughout. Yeah, that was the other thing to notice with this.
Tucker was really out of his depth.
This is a tough guy who's clawed his way to the top.
Now, the strength of America is not in our leaders.
The strength in America has always been our market economy, our competition, our freedom that allowed the society to adjust.
The problem is, is that America has now become heavily centralized, just like these dictatorships that we've always been able to beat.
And so now the central decisions were highly centralized, just like they are.
But we have politicians that are picked for being facile.
And that's a real concerning weakness, isn't it?
The opening of the conversation was a letdown, says the Guardian, because Putin spent more than 30 minutes giving a history of Russia, Lithuania, Poland, Ukraine, in a monologue that took viewers from the 9th century rule of Oleg the Wise to the struggles of the 1300s through a critique of Lenin's foreign policy.
Can you imagine Trump or Biden being able to...
Go to a foreign country that doesn't know anything about America.
I know everybody's seen our movies.
They think they know something about America.
What they've got is Hollywood's version of history or the left's version of history.
But can you imagine, if nobody knew what America was like, can you imagine Trump or Biden trying to explain that to people?
When a baffled-looking Carlson, that's the way Guardian described it, When a baffled-looking Carlson finally coaxed Putin into the 21st century, the president accused the U.S. and other Western countries of prolonging the war in Ukraine.
As a matter of fact, one of these little sound bites.
Talk about a baffled Tucker Carlson and one of these sound bites that he had.
Was perfect, as he kind of throws shade at Tucker for his involvement and his aspirations to be CIA. Here's that clip.
A coup d'etat was committed, although I shall not delve into details now, as I find doing it inappropriate.
The U.S. told us.
Calm Yanukovych down, and we will calm the opposition.
Let the situation unfold in the scenario of a political settlement.
We said, all right, agreed, let's do it this way.
As the Americans requested, Yanukovych did use neither the armed forces nor the police, yet the armed opposition committed a coup in Kiev.
What is that supposed to mean?
Who do you think you are?
I wanted to ask the then U.S. leadership.
With the backing of whom?
With the backing of CIA, of course.
The organization you wanted to join back in the day, as I understand.
We should thank God they didn't let you in.
Although, it is a serious organization.
I understand. Yeah, the CIA, you wanted to join it, but they didn't let you in.
It's a serious organization.
I understand why they wouldn't want to let you in.
CIA shell, your dad worked for Voice of America, and it's a serious organization.
You're not a serious journalist.
Wow, that's what I mean.
You know, it was a masterpiece for Putin.
He said there were peace talks with Ukraine that were almost finalized, he said, but then Ukraine threw away all these agreements and obeyed the instructions of Western countries.
European countries and the United States to fight Russia to the bitter end.
And before I move on, I should respond to what was said there.
He lays out what we've all been saying.
We all understand that this whole thing began with NATO aggression, began with a coup.
He was talking about how Yanukovych was friendly with them, and of course he was.
And so they did a coup, and they put in somebody who was unfriendly.
With Russia, he talked about how they had an economic agreement, they had open border there for trade and that type of thing, and this guy who was friendly with them Was vacillating back and forth whether or not he wanted to do a European agreement like that.
Russia did not want that.
They did not want to, if Ukraine was going to have an economic alliance and trade agreement with the EU, Putin said, well, in that case, we would have to close our borders because the products would flood into Russia.
Again, we're talking about protectionism, mercantilism, that type of thing.
And so there was that tug of war.
I think it goes, you know, much further back than that.
But that was kind of an immediate issue there, he said.
So they did the coup.
And we've all talked about that.
How this war really began back in 2014.
And you really need to understand that our fight with Iran began back in the 1950s.
You need to understand the history and the background of this.
And if you look at that, you see that all of these conflicts that we have everywhere...
Whether it's with Russia or whether it's with Iran, they began with actions that were taken, coups that were committed by the CIA. That satanic organization.
Don't talk to me about the Freemasons.
It's a peanut gallery compared to what the CIA is or any of these other organizations.
They are the most evil, satanic, and powerful organization that is out there in terms of politics and geopolitics and that type of thing.
And they are at the source of all the problems that we have in this country.
Things that were initiated by the CIA, things that, as Ron Paul talks about, we have blowback from what they have done.
He went on to say the fact that they, Ukraine, obey the demand or the persuasion of Boris Johnson, the former Prime Minister of Great Britain, seemed to be ridiculous, he said.
He said, we had an agreement, we had peace talks that were almost finalized, and then Boris Johnson comes in, and at the time he's not even the Prime Minister of the UK. Carlson said he was driven to speak to Putin in part because the American public has, quote, no idea why Putin invaded Ukraine or what his goals are now, unquote.
No, that's absolutely not true.
His base absolutely does know all of this.
And so, and his base does not support the war.
And so this was something that was done to gain favor, With his base, and as you see the reactions from the EU and the Democrat government here, all that has done is to elevate his credentials because they have shown themselves to be Stalin-esque dictators and tyrants, totalitarian rulers who despise any free speech or free thought.
And so the reaction to him interviewing Putin was, It's a whole separate issue in and of itself.
But the conservatives were the ones that were the audience for this.
We'll look at the way the other people have responded to it or not responded to it.
A lot of organizations completely ignored this.
And it was easy for them to do that.
Because on the same day, you have her release his report about Biden saying, yeah, he's a criminal, but he's a senile old grandpa, so we're not going to charge him.
So that's what everybody is talking about on both sides of the political aisle.
That is the top story.
Putin said the last time he spoke to Joe Biden was before Russia invaded Ukraine.
I said to him then, I believe that you are making a huge mistake of historic proportions.
That's like everything that Biden does.
Everything that Biden has done has been a huge mistake of historic proportions.
But he said this huge mistake of historic proportions that Biden was involved in was supporting everything that was happening there in Ukraine by pushing Russia away.
Carlson did press Putin on a journalist, Wall Street journalist reporter, Evan Gershkovic.
Who's been detained in Russia since the 23rd of March, having been accused of espionage, which the reporter and the Wall Street Journal deny.
Putin claimed that Gershkovic, 32, was, quote, caught red-handed when he was secretly getting confidential information.
And Putin alleged that he was, quote, working for the U.S. Special Services.
And that's typically how he refers to that.
And we'll talk a little bit more when we talk about the reactions of the press, because that's very telling.
That is as interesting as what was said.
And so we'll talk a little bit about how the Wall Street Journal and others have reacted to that.
But I would just add this.
He challenged Putin on this Wall Street Journal reporter who was arrested by the Russians, they said, on espionage charges.
Did Tucker ever talk to Trump about the arrest of Julian Assange that happened under his administration with Bill Barr?
You ever talk to him about that?
You ever talk to Biden about that?
Did Tucker ever talk to anybody about the arrest of Julian Assange?
You see, this is the issue.
This is the issue.
And this, I think, tells us a great deal.
There are risks to conducting an interview like this, obviously, said Tucker.
So, we thought about it for many months, he said.
I think it was back in 2014.
And we had, when I was at Infowars, we had somebody from Russia reach out to us and wanted, it was Anthony Gucciardi, to go interview Putin.
And he didn't want to go.
And I thought it was interesting because Gucciardi didn't have a talk show there at the time.
He wasn't doing any reporting, really.
I thought it was very interesting that they would ask him to go and not ask Alex to go.
And of course, Alex is not going to let somebody underneath him go do a report like that.
It would either be him or nobody.
I thought that was very interesting.
But of course, you know, as we talked about it, it's like Putin is going to use you.
He's a smart guy.
Very intelligent. This is a guy who spent all his life in the KGB. He's going to basically chew up and spit out any journalist who goes there to talk to him, which is what you saw here.
You know, he completely owned and used Tucker Carlson.
Carlson was an early notable defender of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, says The Guardian.
As Putin amassed up to 190,000 troops on Ukraine's border in mid-February, Carlson appeared to echo Putin's talking points by claiming the brewing conflict was a mere border dispute.
Well, I never said that.
I said, at the time, I thought that Putin was too smart to take the bait and to invade a country, regardless of the fact that this thing had gone on for eight years.
I thought he would be smart enough to maneuver Ukraine into doing something, or at least to attempt a false flag.
You know, you could at least do that.
You would expect the KGB, former KGB guy could at least come up with some kind of a false flag to give some plausible deniability to the fact that they were the aggressor.
Because as soon as you invade, you are the aggressor.
I mean, how could they miss that?
But again, there was a kind of an arrogance there.
It's like, you know, well, this has been going on for a long time.
We know it. The West knows it.
I really don't care about public opinion that much.
I think that was a mistake. I think Putin made a mistake with that.
And I was surprised that he took the bait.
So, you know, who knows?
He's not perfect, but he was certainly able to handle this interview.
Again, at the beginning of it, Tucker asked Putin why he invaded Ukraine.
And that was his opening remark to go on a half hour of history from the Middle Ages on...
And so that's where he lost a lot of people.
And so maybe, you know, he misunderstood the attention span of the American public.
I don't know. One of the things that I thought was interesting in his history was that he didn't really talk about the history of Crimea, for example.
And I remember when this whole thing was brewing and you had the U.K., Defense minister who said, yeah, we taught him a lesson once in Crimea, and we'll do it again.
Okay, well, let's talk about the Crimean War.
You know, the one that was made famous by Tennyson's poem, The Reason Why.
Ours is not to reason why.
Ours is but to do or die.
The thin red line of Lord Cardigan charging down on the people and all the rest of the stuff.
That all happened in Crimea.
It was a Crimean War. Who were they fighting?
Were they fighting the Crimeans? No, they were fighting Russia, as the defense minister knew.
And, of course, Crimea had been a part of Russia since, I wrote down, 1784.
In other words, Crimea has been Russian as long as America has been independent, essentially.
And no discussion of that.
No discussion about...
The right of self-government or the right to secede from Ukraine when Ukraine declares that they've got a right to secede from Russia or whatever.
Well, there's no right to secede from Ukraine.
So, you know, he didn't really talk about that.
He did talk about, just mentioned Crimea, but not in a historical sense.
He said, we were promised that there would be no NATO to the east, not an inch to the east, as we were told.
And then what, he said?
Well, they said, well, it's not enshrined on paper, so we will expand.
And that's true. You know, that's another aspect that we all talked about, this constant push by NATO into Russia.
Putin said, I already said that we did not refuse to talk.
We're willing to negotiate. It is the western side.
And Ukraine is obviously a satellite state of the U.S. It is evident.
I do not want you to take it as if I'm looking for a strong word or an insult.
But we both understand what is happening.
The financial support.
72 billion U.S. dollars was provided.
Germany ranks second.
Then other European countries come.
Dozens of billions of U.S. dollars are going to Ukraine.
There's a huge influx of weapons.
In this case, you should tell the current Ukrainian leadership to stop and come to a negotiating table.
Resend this absurd decree.
We will not refuse. And so, at that point, they got into the discussion about Boris Johnson shutting down the peace talks as they were starting to get, perhaps, productive.
Putin said, well, if the Zelensky administration went on to say after that, and Ukraine refused to negotiate, I assume that they did it under instruction from Washington.
And so Tucker says, well, I just want to make sure I'm not misunderstanding what you're saying.
I don't think I am.
I think you're saying you want a negotiated settlement to what is happening in Ukraine.
Putin says, right. And we made it.
And we prepared the huge document in Istanbul, initialed by the head of the Ukrainian delegation.
He had fixed his signature to some of the provisions, not to all of it.
And he put his signature, and then he himself said, we were ready to sign it.
And the war would have been over a long time ago.
18 months ago.
However, Prime Minister Johnson came and talked to us out of it, and he missed that chance.
Well, you missed it.
You made a mistake.
Let them get back to it.
That is all. And then they talked about the pipeline and the CIA's involvement in that, which, again, is not new.
And it's not news to anybody.
This is something that we all knew from the very beginning.
Here's what Putin had to say about the pipeline.
Who blew up Nord Stream?
You for sure.
I did not blow up Nord Stream.
You personally may have an alibi, but the CIA has no such alibi.
Did you have evidence that NATO or the CIA did it?
You know, I won't get into details, but people always say in such cases, look for someone who is interested.
But in this case, we should not only look for someone who is interested, but also for someone who has capabilities.
Because there may be many people interested, but not all of them are capable of sinking to the bottom of the Baltic Sea and carrying out this explosion.
These two components should be connected.
Who is interested and who is capable of doing it?
But I'm confused. I mean, that's the biggest act of industrial terrorism ever, and it's the largest emission of CO2 in history.
Okay, so if you had evidence and presumably given your security services or intel services you would that NATO the US CIA the West Did this why wouldn't you present it and win a propaganda victory?
In the war of propaganda it is very difficult to defeat the United States because the United States controls all the world's media and many European media and The ultimate beneficiary of the biggest European media are American financial institutions.
Don't you know that?
So it is possible to get involved in this work.
Pharmaceutical companies you work for?
So to speak. We can simply shine the spotlight on our sources of information, and we will not achieve results.
It is clear to the whole world what happened, and even American analysts talk about it directly.
It's true. Okay, so, do you hear what he had to say?
So, first of all, when you're doing this, you do the same thing.
This is called a conspiracy theorizing by the people who don't like you doing this, but it's called an investigation.
When the police or detective does this, first of all, you look to see who benefits from it.
You look to see who has the ability to do it.
Who is there and all the rest of this stuff.
And from that, it was very clear.
Motive, benefit, and also the only ones who could really pull this off is the U.S. with NATO surrogates, perhaps.
Cy Hirsch did more investigations and got very specific about which groups he thought had done this.
But we all knew from the very beginning of it That Germany, the German Prime Minister, was trying to stop that gas from coming in.
He had sealed off the second pipeline and had never allowed any to come in.
And, of course, it was always old news as well, because from the very beginning of this, we had Biden saying, and it was reported by Reuters, Biden pledges to end Nord Stream 2 If Russia invades Ukraine.
And so they talked about how they would use any means necessary to stop this stuff.
And so first they did.
They just shut off the pipeline in Germany.
Essentially cutting off their nose to spite their face, if you will.
And it was harming Germany a great deal.
Alternative for Deutschland, that political party, was demanding that the pipeline be turned on for the benefit of the German people.
The German leader had closed it off for the benefit of NATO. And so there was a lot of political pressure there.
And so how do you get rid of that political pressure?
Well, you just do that by blowing up the pipeline, Nord Stream, both of them.
And so the motive was obvious as to why they would do it.
There was no motive for Russia to do it.
They had billions of dollars invested.
I thought it was interesting that Tucker talks about this as being a massive industrial sabotage and the greatest release of CO2 in the atmosphere.
Who cares, Tucker?
Do you seriously want to sell that narrative about CO2? That's what I say about Tucker.
This guy is not on our side.
He is using people, conservatives, who don't believe the things that he believes.
He did not oppose the lockdowns, the masks.
He didn't oppose the vaccine.
He worked for these vaccine companies at one point, as I played for you within this last week.
He said, well, you know, what if we told you that everybody had to buy our sponsor's product like MyPillow or something?
And what if it was, you know, harming people?
But we double down and say, no, everybody's got to buy it.
We do that for the government. And he was clearly talking about the vaccine and his role in being a propagandist for that.
And I think he wanted Fox to fire him.
He got very nervous as he was talking about it.
As you can see, he got breathless when he was talking about it.
And then he just recently had somebody on who told him, you know all these Ask Your Doctor commercials?
That's not really to reach the public.
They're just buying off Fox News and the rest of the stuff.
But of course, they don't mention Fox News.
And it's interesting when all these different media organizations are reacting to this Tucker Carlson Putin interview, there's not a single word about it on Fox News.
They just treat it the same as Alex treats me.
Not going to talk about anything at all there.
We're just going to pretend that Tucker doesn't exist.
I see nothing.
So that's their response to that.
But Tucker was like, no, seriously?
I played that for you this week.
Great Scott, I didn't know that.
Had no idea.
That my $25 million salary was coming from pharmaceutical companies so that I wouldn't talk about this stuff, except he didn't talk about it.
And so we all knew that.
And again, you can put these things together, motive, opportunity, who benefits from all this stuff, and you pretty much know what's going on.
But of course, if you do that, they'll accuse you and censor you and blacklist you and ban you and debank you and all the rest of this stuff.
Because we live in a Stalinesque West now.
Not only has power become centralized, but they use the same kinds of tactics that centralized totalitarian governments have always used.
So the way it's reported by, let's take a look at the way some of the press has reported, NPR. NPR sneers about this.
Tucker Carlson makes a bid for relevance with Putin interview.
That's their take on all of this.
And he's far more relevant than NPR is, quite frankly.
There's far more people listen, far, far, far more people that listen to Tucker than listen to NPR. And that's why it is so effective.
For the CIA to have people like Tucker Carlson in place.
Are we really so sure that he didn't take that job?
His father worked for Voice of America his entire life.
They said Carlson did not raise the fate of Alsu Kermashiva, a dual U.S.-Russian citizen who is a reporter for the U.S.-funded network Radio Free Europe, Radio Liberty, which are run by Voice of America, the organization that Tucker's father worked for his entire life.
She was denied, or rather detained, and charged last year with failing to register as a foreign agent.
He didn't bring that up.
And of course, NPR does not make the connection with Tucker and Voice of America CIA propaganda either.
CNN. Oliver Darcy, of all people, at CNN. What a pathetic...
I'm surprised that he's back at CNN. I thought they fired Oliver Darcy.
Oh, this is Stelter.
Brian Stelter. The guy who reminds me of the little chubby guy from Steinfeld.
George Costanza.
Anyway, he's got his own thing.
Oliver Darcy is still with CNN. His headline, Putin walks away with a propaganda victory after Tucker Carlson's softball interview.
That's CNN's take on it from Oliver Darcy.
He said, in some cases, Carlson even fed into Putin's narratives.
For instance, Putin advanced an absurd deep state-style conspiracy theory that the U.S. government is not controlled by its elected leaders, but by unelected powers at the CIA who direct the president like a puppet from the shadows.
How would anybody ever get that idea?
Quote, so twice you've described U.S. presidents making decisions and them being undercut by their agency heads, said Carlson.
And he says, so it sounds like you're describing a system that is not run by the people who are elected in your telling.
Putin replied, that's right, that's right.
And then Oliver Darcy says, Carlson never followed up to challenge the absurdity The absurdity?
No, the reality.
The reality of what they talked about.
See, there's a lot of different kinds of propaganda, isn't there?
There's white propaganda, which is where you tell the truth about the United States.
Yes, it is controlled and run by the CIA. Or you can have black propaganda, where you make your opponent look bad by telling a lie or something like that.
The propaganda that's a lie.
You know, like, the vaccine is safe and effective.
That's black propaganda.
That was black propaganda by Fauci, by the CDC, by Trump, by many Republicans, even by Putin.
You know, it was all a lie.
And it was propaganda.
But when you say that the United States is run by the CIA, that's white propaganda.
That makes the U.S. look bad.
But you're telling the truth.
There was one moment, however, in which Carlson did gently press Putin.
At the end of the interview, Carlson asked Putin if he'd be willing to release Evan Gershkovic, the imprisoned reporter for the Wall Street Journal.
Putin declined to release Gershkovic, to which Carlson said, well, he's a kid, and maybe he was breaking your law in some way, but he's not a super spy, and everybody knows that.
As NPR says, while Carlson did advocate for the immediate release of Gershkovic, His remark did not go over well at the Wall Street Journal.
Ted Mann, a reporter at the newspaper, wrote on X that it was, quote, The Wall Street Journal also released a statement following the interview and said, Oh, but it is in the United States, isn't it?
Journalism is a crime in America and in the EU. Because you had all these people who did not prevail, but they wanted sanctions, they wanted arrests for Tucker Carlson because he was doing journalism.
And so you see, journalism is a crime in Russia.
And journalism is a crime in Europe.
And it is a crime in the Biden administration.
We have become what we fought.
Evan is a journalist, says Wall Street Journal, and journalism is not a crime.
Any portrayal to the contrary is total fiction.
Evan was unjustly arrested and has been wrongfully detained by Russia for nearly a year for doing his job, and we continue to demand his immediate release.
Other publications, this is pretty typical of most of the reactions from Washington Post and New York Times.
Here's one from Deadline. Tucker Carlson proves to be a useful idiot for Putin in a sycophantic sit-down.
Whenever you see Washington Post or New York Times or CNN or Fox News or whatever, whenever they do an interview of an American politician, They're always useful idiots.
That's why, you know, the Democrats have their media networks of CNN, MSNBC, etc., and why the Republicans go on Fox News.
They know that when they have a sit-down interview, these so-called reporters will be useful idiots, sycophantic idiots.
And so that is, again, there's nothing different.
The difference is, though, That Tucker's audience loved the interview.
He got boffo reviews, and that was the whole point of it.
The whole point was to build up his audience, and that seemed to work.
As I looked at the comments there, most of the comments on X were things like this.
This person says, Tucker is the most consequential, courageous, brave truth-teller of our generation, not because of who he interviewed, but because he inspired others to challenge the narrative and demonstrated an unwavering commitment to truth and integrity.
I'm sorry, I kind of missed that when Tucker did that from 2020 to 2023.
I didn't really see him doing that.
I didn't really see him pushing against the narrative of the pandemic and the rest of the stuff.
Did you? Certainly not in 2020.
He did when Biden was doing it, but not when Trump was doing it.
And of course, he pushed back against the truth about buildings not falling into their own footprint.
Now he even says, well, you'd get fired if you said anything about that.
And he still won't say what he thinks about it.
It's fine to have a difference of opinion and to change it.
But when you flip from being adamantly opposed and mocking Building 7 to saying, well, you know, I couldn't say anything about it or I'd get fired.
You don't explain what you think about it now.
You don't explain what changed.
You go from being completely silent...
About the mRNA vaccines when it's under Trump?
Then you complain when Biden mandates it, but then, you know, you don't explain to people what changed, Tucker, that you now see them as dangerous.
Yeah. But this is to build up his credentials.
Oh, he's independent.
And the system hates him.
Mainstream media hates him. The Biden administration hates him.
The EU hates him. So he's a good guy now.
He's up there. He is our saint, our savior.
That's what Tucker is.
That's all that matters. And so against that, all these people are saying, yes, I totally agree.
It is a rarity today.
It is a rarity today. Well, I guess really, you know, playing to your audience today is really, I guess, the only thing that really matters.
And I guess Tucker did get his thrill on Blueberry Hill.
I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill.
On Blueberry Hill.
When I...
Yeah, when he interviewed Putin, he found his thrill.
We'll be right back. You're
listening to The David Knight Show.
Welcome back.
I want to remind you, please like the stream if you like the stream.
Please tell other people that you like the stream.
We appreciate you coming back and listening every day, but we would greatly appreciate if you would help the broadcast to grow.
We've been through some setbacks in the last month or so.
Because I attacked the pharmaceutical thing as murder, they immediately kicked me off of a platform where I had been since 2017.
So we're looking at like seven years now, but it was six years at the time.
And we didn't realize it for two days.
We realized it. We realized, and we got them to restore it.
We didn't realize at first that they had blocked the stream from all but one place that it typically is pushed out to from that host.
And so that happened for a couple of weeks.
After a couple of weeks of people not seeing the show, they figure, well, it's gone away.
So that has really set us back.
So we really would appreciate if you would like the stream and do what you can to try to get us some visibility, because they're doing everything they can to try to keep us from getting any visibility.
Gerald Slenty is going to be joining us later in the broadcast, and I'll just remind you that Trends Journal, if you'd like to get Trends Journal, you can save 10% off at trendsjournal.com if you use the code NIGHT. And as we have seen in so many different ways, Gerald Slenty, He sees what is happening.
He saw what was going to happen with commercial real estate.
Now everybody's talking about that and about the consequences that Gerald has always talked about for the banking industry, especially for mid and small size banks.
And Gerald is struggling with what he sees as the fact that we are already well into a war.
He knows that these people are engineering this, and so that is interesting.
That is the context of his remarks when he talks about that.
And I'll just remind you in case we don't get into monetary stuff here.
Also, Tony Arterman, who we talked to yesterday.
Wisewolf.gold is set up davidknight.gold and if you go there, that'll direct you to Tony Arderman's Wise Wolf and he is a great source for gold and silver.
He's somebody who supports the program, has for a very long time and he also has ways that he can sell you a large amount or a small amount and he can also do it We're good to go.
And the fees can be higher that way.
So by putting together a club, it helps him, it helps you, and it also is something where people can communicate with each other.
So again, it's Wolfpack that is there at wisewolf.com, and you can find that at davidknight.gold.
I was sorry to see this.
I've been covering a little bit about this trial, and this is the defamation trial.
Brought by Michael Mann against Mark Stein.
Because Mark Stein exposed the fraud of the hockey stick.
And folks, it is classic fraud.
Michael Mann was involved with ClimateGate at East Anglia.
And as I've said many, many times, you've heard me talk about the fact that I was with a group that was trying to get the data Because they wanted to actually do science.
It's not real science if you come up with a theory like the hockey stick and then you fight tooth and nail to keep the data behind it hidden.
This is something that he did while he was working for a public institution.
It was done on the public institution's computers and public policy.
He had released his conclusions, so seeing his data was not going to harm his intellectual property rights in any way, shape, or form.
And after he released it, it became the basis for public policy decisions.
All of those things should have been reasons for people to be able to review his data.
But science demands it.
If you refuse to show people your data as Fauci and these other hucksters have, pushing their titles and their positions and their connections, and won't show you their data, you are a huckster.
And so he was called that in many ways and other things by Mark Stein and by Rand Semberg, a policy analyst at the Competitive Enterprise Institute and National Review.
I don't know Rand.
Mark Stein, though, we all know Mark Stein.
He filled in for Rush many times.
And he has gone to the mat and been fired in...
And Britain for coming after, telling the truth about the vaccines.
Hard-hitting truth.
Not trying to ease it in or finesse it in any way like Tucker does.
No, Mark Stein went straight for it, and they fired him.
And so he has taken some hits on a lot of these things.
So I was sad to see that they decided this court case, and he lost.
He lost the defamation case.
And I think that it underscores the old adage that anybody who represents himself in a trial has a fool for a lawyer.
Mark Stein is, you know, when I saw that I was concerned that he was going to represent himself and somebody said, well, this is going to be entertaining.
But it may not be to his legal advantage to do that.
He would have been better served to have a lawyer and have the humility to have a lawyer.
Michael Mann is partly responsible.
This is the report from NPR, so they're going to be highly deferential and praising Michael Mann.
NPR says, Mann is partly responsible for one of the most consequential graphs in climate science.
And I would agree with that. It is a consequential graph.
It's had a lot of consequences, all of them negative, even though it's completely false and unsubstantiated and does not stand up to scrutiny.
As a matter of fact, this whole idea of CO2 being tied to an increase in CO2, being tied to an increase in temperature, has been disproven.
And that's what all the ClimateGate emails were about.
They were in a panic. And this was 20 years ago.
Saying, how are we going to hide this decline in temperature when the CO2 rate is going up?
Yes, Tucker, it's not a big deal if you have a lot of CO2 released into the atmosphere.
Not a big deal at all.
I don't even know if that's true.
I don't even know if that was the biggest one-time release of CO2 in the atmosphere.
Anyway... It's a consequential graph, one of the most consequential graphs in climate science.
Those two words don't belong to each other, next to each other.
It's an oxymoron now, the way it's being used.
One that helped to make the steep rise in global average temperatures and fossil fuel use understandable to a wide audience.
It hasn't happened.
It hasn't happened.
It's a total lie.
It's another computer model and projection that has been disproven.
All of these doomsayer Cassandras of the climate movement have all been proven wrong.
That's why I was talking about Puxitani Phil.
And I said, you know, PETA wants to get him out of there and replace him with a coin flipper, because PETA went back to 1969 and said, he's only been right 36% of the time.
We could get a 50% success rate if we flipped a coin, perhaps, right, over that period of time.
I said, well, but he's much better than any of these climate scientists like Michael Mann or Al Gore.
They've been 100% wrong.
They've been right 0% of the time.
And this is going back to 1969.
You know, the first Earth Day was in 1970.
They were making this kind of nonsense statements before that happened.
We've got more than 50 years of, quote-unquote, climate science failures.
100% wrong.
100% wrong.
So anyway, Stein had called Michael Mann's work fraudulent.
Simberg called Mann, who formerly worked at Penn State, the Sandusky of climate science.
That's good stuff.
Because he said that he had molested and tortured data.
These guys deserve an award, not a defamation award.
They deserve a journalism award.
We're telling the truth. After a day of deliberations, the jury ruled that Simberg and Stein had defamed man through some of their statements.
The compensatory damages were just a dollar for each writer.
However, the punitive damages were larger.
The jury ordered Simberg to pay Mann $1,000 in punitive damages, but they ordered Mark Stein to pay $1 million in punitive damages.
That is crazy. But in the aftermath of this, NPR goes through and talks to the lawyers.
And it's like, yeah, this is good stuff.
This is going to shoot a warning shot across the bow of all these climate deniers.
You better not deny our authority figures.
I don't think there's ever been anything like it.
There's never been a case like this, said the director for the Center for Climate Integrity.
Integrity doesn't belong anywhere associated with any of this climate alarmism.
No one has ever taken the climate deniers to court, and it may keep them in check.
Ain't gonna keep me in check.
Not going to keep me in check.
Stein's manager, Melissa Howes, again, he doesn't have an attorney.
He's got his manager who is responding to this.
Big, big mistake.
I understand. Mark Stein is very smart.
He's very articulate.
And yet, that's not what this is about.
You've got to know how to play that game.
He's not an attorney, and unfortunately, he didn't have the humility to find one.
He said, we always said that man never suffered any actual injury from the statement at issue, said Stein's manager.
And today, after 12 years, the jury awarded him $1 in compensatory damages.
Well, yeah, but a million dollars in punitive damages.
And I don't know how they arrived at that.
Another crazy verdict out of Hawaii's Supreme Court.
And the Hawaiian Supreme Court on Wednesday cited a 2006 episode of HBO's program The Wire.
To declare the Constitution invalid and to strip a man of his Second Amendment rights.
I don't know this show.
Do you know this show, Travis? I don't know the wire.
But anyway, as people are talking about how absurd it is What they did was they actually put a quote from this HBO program into their court decision while they rejected other court decisions, both lower and higher, going all the way up to the Supreme Court.
They said, no, that doesn't mean anything.
And the Constitution doesn't mean anything.
And here's how we feel about it.
And they quote an HBO show.
This is as idiotic as the Michael Mann-Mark Stein verdict, but it's got also very large consequences.
And it was a quote from Season 4, Episode 3 of this HBO show, broadcast back in 2006, and these idiots who sat on the Supreme Court are evidently big fans of that show.
They quoted it. As the world turns, it makes no sense for contemporary society to pledge allegiance to the founding era's culture, realities, laws, and understanding of the Constitution.
The thing about the old days?
They the old days.
And you can imagine, you know, one of these lawyers who is a revolutionary and wants to overthrow our culture, Our reality.
Our reality. That's what the Democrats and these activists want to do.
These Marxists want to do. They want to overthrow reality.
Culture, reality, law, and the Constitution.
And how do we do it?
Well, the thing about the old days, they the old days.
This is the idiocracy, the Marxist idiocracy that we all live under, as exemplified here by the Hawaiian Supreme Court.
I think there's another program that said, book them, Dano.
These guys need to be hauled off and arrested for this kind of crime against the rule of law.
Costas Moros was the one who was on it.
He said, sounds like the Hawaiian Supreme Court doesn't even want to be a part of the United States.
And this rejection of not just the Second Amendment, but their culture and their understanding of the Constitution.
And so... The Aloha State's highest court upheld a man's gun-carry conviction on Wednesday after rejecting landmark decisions from the Supreme Court of the United States.
So they reject lower courts, the Supreme Court, and the Constitution in this, and they quote an HBO story.
Hawaii's Supreme Court reversed a lower court decision that found charges leveled against Christopher Wilson for carrying a gun without a permit that violated his rights.
Instead, the court ruled its state constitution provides no gun rights protections whatsoever, despite the fact that it included a provision protecting the right of the people to keep and bear arms that is identical to the federal constitution.
Article 1, section 17 of the Hawaiian Constitution mirrors the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, wrote the Hawaiian court.
So they even admitted that.
They said, and this is, by the way, this story is that information liberation.
They admitted that it mirrored it, that it repeated it verbatim.
And so they reject the Hawaiian Constitution.
They reject the U.S. Constitution.
They reject the lower court.
They reject the Supreme Court.
We read those words differently.
See, this is postmodernism.
This is where these Marxists are coming from.
You got a truth? I got a truth.
You got a constitution? I got my own constitution.
The constitution in my mind, and this is, I don't really care what your truth is.
So we read those words differently than the current United States Supreme Court.
We hold that in Hawaii, there is no state constitutional right to carry a firearm in public.
So what do you think keeping bare arms means?
Does that mean that you can parade around in your closet or something at home?
The Hawaiian judges argued that the Supreme Court's standard for whether gun laws are compatible with the protections offered by the Second Amendment should be tossed out.
And by doing so, they cited an HBO drama from, what was that, 18 years ago.
And I just read that to you.
The thing about the old days, they is the old days.
But they read, that quote that I read you, they quoted that whole thing.
As the world turns, it makes no sense for a contemporary society to pledge allegiance to the founding years, culture, realities, laws, constitution, that type of thing.
As the world turns.
Yeah, soap opera. So, liberation, information liberation says, I guess his lawyer, Should have countered with another line from the show, as opposed to making an argument from the Supreme Court of the Constitution, which the Hawaiian court doesn't really care about.
I like this. Your Honor, I hear your argument, but in Season 12, Episode 4, they went on to say that it was also equally idiotic, They said interpretive modalities, you can tell where these people were educated or over-educated, over-indoctrinated in these leftist academies.
Interpretive modalities and Hawaii's historical tradition of firearm regulation rule out an individual right to keep and bear arms under the Hawaiian Constitution.
Now, all of the Bill of Rights is about individual rights.
Except for the Ninth and Tenth Amendment.
And those are saying, well, if we left anything out, we reserve it to the people.
But the first eight amendments are all about your right to due process.
That's not talking about some government group.
None of those things are. Free speech, that's not talking about the government's free speech.
Although that's the way they act now, isn't it?
No, it's all about individual rights.
So, to be clear, in its analysis of the Hawaiian right to bear arms provision, which is identical to the federal constitution and was adopted by the Hawaiian legislature in 1950 as it became a state, the Hawaiian Supreme Court looks to the history of Hawaii when it was a foreign nation.
He says, cool! The judges concluded Hawaii's unique spirit overrides the Supreme Court's view that its citizens are entitled to gun rights.
Listen to this other quote from the decision.
These people, are they smoking the stuff that Elon Musk is smoking?
I don't know. Maybe they're getting their decisions from chat GPT, because this does sound like some kind of a hallucination.
You know, it's got the words there.
It kind of refers to things, but it's just...
Completely off the rail. This is what they said.
The spirit of aloha.
Aloha! Clashes with a federally mandated lifestyle that lets citizens walk around with deadly weapons during day-to-day activities, the Hawaiian Supreme Court wrote.
They continued, the history of the Hawaiian islands does not include a society where armed people move about the community to possibly combat the deadly arms of others.
Except for their police, right?
Isn't that what they do with their police?
They still have police who carry guns.
Every core aspect of what Biden denigrated as our white man's English jurisprudential culture, writes Information Liberation.
The idea that one is innocent until proven guilty.
That you are entitled to a fair trial.
That evidence is required to prove one's guilt.
That is all being completely eliminated in favor of people being found guilty or innocent based off of their race and their political beliefs.
But of course this has been there for quite some time.
If you know anything about civil asset forfeiture, you know this whole idea of innocent until proven guilty in a fair trial has been made a mockery of.
And it was made a mockery of even before the drug war and civil asset forfeiture, it was made a mockery of by the IRS. They were the ones who created their own kangaroo courts where there was no jury of your peers, where they would accuse you of violating regulatory rules and then came up with the idea that, well, since it's a rule and not a law that was created, it's a rule created by bureaucracy, not a law created by your elected representatives.
Therefore, you have no presumption of innocence and you don't get a jury trial and we get to confiscate your property.
Then, the next step in the process, after we've confiscated your property, now you can try to prove that you're innocent.
That is the way that it really works.
Because now we have not only taxation without representation, but we have regulation without representation.
And we have punishment without even being charged or found guilty.
Also in Hawaii, they're going to get a taste of...
Biopesticide lab-altered mosquitoes.
This is from Children's Health Defense.
Up to 776 million bacteria-infected mosquitoes could be released in Maui every week for the next 20 years, according to Hawaii United.
Think about that.
Three-quarters of a billion mosquitoes with bacteria released every week for 20 years.
I'd be concerned even if they didn't have bacteria.
Better cover up, all you people there in Hawaii.
I know the weather may be great, but you want to walk around in bathing suits or something.
An environmental advocacy group that last month lost its bid to require the state to conduct an environmental impact statement...
Before allowing the controversial project to proceed.
I tell you, somewhere in this we've got to find Bill Gates.
I'm sure that he's involved. According to the group's lawsuit, the state did not perform a sufficient environmental impact study prior to the launch of the project.
Last year, the state residents submitted 291 pages of public comments both for and against the project.
An expert who testified on behalf of Hawaii Unites warns that the project, far from mitigating mosquito-borne illness, may lead to bacterial spread.
The invasion of lab-altered mosquitoes into unintended areas and other environmental consequences.
But the court disagreed. And so the bureaucrats decided that they would allow this to proceed.
This is the type of thing that we've been seeing over and over again.
And of course, our government is no stranger to experimenting on people without informed consent going back to the middle of the 20th century.
They've done experiments releasing...
Stuff as an experiment of biological warfare in New York.
They've done it on the coast of California.
They've done this in many different times, many different ways.
And of course, the whole chemtrail stuff and 5G would all fall into this category as well.
The court failed to acknowledge Dr.
pangs, serious concerns about horizontal transmission of introduced bacteria, biopesticide wind drift of lab-altered mosquitoes into unintended areas, super-infection of mosquitoes with multiple bacteria strains, increased pathogen infection and disease-spreading capability of mosquitoes, and the experimental nature of the project.
All issues that were insufficiently addressed are missing entirely from the FEA and facts that were material to the lawsuit.
The U.S. Department of the Interior provided more than $30 million for the avian malaria phase of the state's plan.
The project has secured more than $14 million from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021, Biden's.
And an additional $16 million through Biden's 2023 Investing in America agenda.
I think that they misspelled that.
I think it's supposed to be Infesting America agenda.
Infesting America agenda.
You know, when you look at all of this, just $30 million for this coming from the federal government and coming from the Federal Reserve that just prints the money and funds all of this insanity, even though it may be a real hardship, when the dollar fails, we can all look forward to a lot of this funding insanity going away.
Now, that would be the silver lining of a very, very dark cloud.
Matt Walsh is looking at something else that the federal government wants to unleash on people.
And that is the FAA is talking about unleashing baggage handlers on the public as pilots.
Yes. Yes.
The real qualification, as these documents indicate, this is something that was released to him.
It's footage that was released to him.
It was taken in April of 2022.
And in this, you see people that are political appointees of the Biden administration.
Who think that the qualifications for flying a commercial jet have to do only with the color of your skin.
And so if somebody is a baggage handler, we've just got too many white males in aviation.
So let's promote these baggage handlers to being pilots.
Just like that. This is the insanity of these Bolsheviks.
And that's what they are.
They're political hacks that have been put in place, Marxists.
And they're also...
Racist gremlins, like the gremlin that was depicted in the Twilight Zone, pulling the airplane apart.
You know, they're going to cause everything to crash.
This is internal footage from April of 2022 that Matt Walsh was given.
He says, I've obtained internal footage of senior officials of the FAA's Flight Program Operations Division, which is responsible for all aspects of aircraft operations.
And they're workshopping a plan to reduce the number of white males in aviation.
The footage begins with the FAA Acting Deputy Chief Operating Officer, Angelo McCullough, saying more workers need to go from the ramp to the cockpit, meaning that she wants to see more baggage handlers become airline pilots.
It's important to, quote, get a little uncomfortable, she said.
And she complains that flight operations are, quote, white male dominated.
And she tells the managers that they need to, quote, talk about what the future could look like.
I see planes falling everywhere, don't you?
I see people dying.
The Biden administration is dominated by a bunch of racist girl bosses.
And a bunch of LGBT fetishes.
Fetish people like Sam Britton and by Richard Levine, who I called Dick Devine.
That's what dominates the Biden administration.
Girl bosses and deviant fetish people who are parading around in public, as Putin said.
You know, we used to... We used to blackmail people for this.
What do we do now? You know, we've lost our ability to blackmail people because these are now a badge of honor and the kind of thing that gets you promoted in the Biden administration.
David Will Riggins, the FAA's Vice President of Flight Program Operations, says, that's great.
Honestly, those are some words that we really need to spend some time digging through and thinking about.
Again, these people, you've got these radical girl bosses and you've got these, you know, ring-kissing sycophants like this Will Riggins guy.
That's where we are in America.
We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.

All right, and we've got a couple of comments here on Rockfin.
I got a tip from Michelle Obama.
Well, I didn't know she was a fan.
It says, if Petraeus fell into an alligator river, should you immediately praise God for deliverance and repent?
Or just say, shut your neck hole, Petraeus?
Well, that'd be a tough decision, wouldn't it?
On Rumble, Freegan says, the American air traffic controller's diversity higher blitz this year will bring mass death.
Think twice before you fly.
Yeah, I put myself on a no-fly list over that stuff.
Let's take a quick look at Fauci.
He's got a book coming out.
Anthony Fauci has got a memoir.
Just when I thought I could start to forget about him, he's back.
Anthony Fauci, on call.
One man's journey in public service.
And Axios puts it this way.
He is the world's most famous living doctor, they said.
No, no, no, they misspelled it.
It's D-I-C-T-A-T-O-R. Dictator.
Not doctor. Dictator.
Dictator. He has since become a polarizing figure online.
No, he was a dictator.
He's dictatorial online and everywhere else.
I guess the question I have about this is that since he was such an important part of both the Trump and Biden administration, Well, he asked them to write a foreword for this because they both praised him effusively.
I would imagine that they would be more than happy to praise him at the beginning of his book there.
And another comment and tip from Michelle Obama.
That's what it is, Obama.
Thank you for that tip.
What does do not let the sun go down upon your anger verse mean in the Bible?
I don't get it. Well, if that's a serious question, I'll give you a serious answer.
I think, you know, when it talks about that in relationships, particularly marital relationship, I think it means that you have a disagreement with somebody, you settle that as soon as possible, instead of letting that fester and fester.
Because, you know, it builds.
If you look at Psalm 37, it has the word fret.
I thought that was interesting because it used it three times there and it didn't really use it anywhere else.
And I thought, hmm, what is that about?
I looked it up, the Hebrew word is to kindle a fire.
And so if you let something fester like that, and if you are husband and wife, if you have a disagreement, and you're going to have disagreements, you have to be able to address that and put that behind you and not let that stay for a very long time.
Because if you do...
As long as you're not reconciled, as long as you're still angry about that, you're going to be fretting about it, in a sense, and you're going to be kindling that fire.
It's going to get bigger and bigger and bigger.
It's going to be harder. The longer you let that go, the harder it is to stop that.
And I just personally found that one of the best ways to...
Because I did Shenandoah, we watched Shenandoah with Jimmy Stewart.
And it's a great spot in there that's actually been cut out separately on YouTube, where Jimmy Stewart talks to his prospective son-in-law.
And he gives him some advice about dealing with women and when they get angry.
And you're not really going to know what they're angry about.
Just try to stop it.
Just disarm it with, if you're not really sure what your wife is mad about, just disarm it with humor of some sort.
It could be totally unrelated humor.
Just a pro tip.
I guess you could say from somebody who's been married for nearly 45 years.
So that'd be my advice to you, kind of along the line of Jimmy Stewart's advice to his respective son-in-law.
I hope I didn't get in trouble with that.
No, Karen is very nice.
She's understanding. She'll have a laugh about that.
So the COVID booster.
Now for something completely different.
The COVID booster is a cancer time bomb.
And we know that as well.
A daily skeptic. And this is something going back to the spring of 2021.
We were told that by Dr.
Ryan Cole, who said, look, when I'm looking at people, the killer T cells are being decimated by this vaccine.
This is very early in 2021.
We'd already had people who were dying within, you know, a week or so of getting their first shot.
But of course, that didn't count because they played the game that you are not fully vaccinated until you get two shots.
And so, and I think it was, you had to wait two weeks to After your second shot.
So, you know, it's going to be six weeks.
If you died before then, if you get a shot and fall over and dead in the doctor's office, that doesn't count.
But, so there were all kinds of warning signals in terms of adverse effects immediately.
We'd never seen before.
And it was like, you know, first it was like, look at this, we've got more people, more adverse effects in the VAERS database than the last five years combined.
And then more than the last 10 years or 20 years or more than they've ever, because they only did it for 35 years.
More than we've ever had. And then in the spring, you had Dr.
Ryan Cole, a pathologist, who said, I've looked at the blood of people because by that time, there was a lot of issues with blood disease and clotting and things like that.
And he said, I've noticed the killer T cells are decimated.
And he goes, that's going to result in a massive increase in cancer because everybody's got a little bit of cancer that they're dealing with.
And as long as the killer T cells can keep ahead of it, you're okay.
But if they can't, you wind up with what we see, turbo cancer.
Just real quickly before we take a quick break, I'm going to go to Gerald Slenty in this Daily Skeptic article by Dr.
Angus Dalgleish.
He says, I previously reported my concern about the rise in stable cancer relapses that I've witnessed in my melanoma clinic.
He's an oncologist. He said, none of these patients of mine presented with a classic prodrome of relapse that I've always noticed previously, such as severe depression, Due to a bereavement, divorce, or bankruptcy.
Indeed, the only thing I found they had in common was to have had a recent booster mRNA COVID vaccine.
I phoned around my colleagues, not only in the UK, but also in Australia to check their experience.
No case did they deny such a link.
Indeed, they were equally alarmed at the association between booster vaccines and relapse that they too were witnessing, as well as an increase in new cancers.
That's the reality of what we're looking at.
But of course, Fauci's going to have his book.
He's going to be widely celebrated as the savior of mankind.
And yet he truly is and was a dictator, a corrupt dictator, who from the very beginning was getting legal immunity for vaccines that did not convey medical immunity.
He was getting legal immunity for the harm that they caused.
And the legacy of Fauci can be seen around us in how common autism has become, how common heart attacks have become, even for children.
And the turbo cancers, and we're just seeing the tip of this right now.
We're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back with Gerald Slenty.
Stay with us. Analyzing
the Globalist's next move.

Wow, that is amazing. It's a tremendous amount of information.
And of course, Gerald has always been ahead of the curve.
And we were just talking, you know, offline while the music was playing, we're getting it set up.
And we're talking about the fact that you've been saying a commercial real estate bust is coming as soon as they did the lockdown.
You called it, and you called the effect, and now we're starting to see it, aren't we?
Yeah, well, one of the top trends for 2024 is banks go bust.
Yeah. And you've seen this Bancorp going down, but it's one after another.
You're looking at small to medium-sized banks.
Their stocks are down 40% to 50%.
From their hides. And it's only going to get worse, and it's totally out of the media in the sense of what caused it and what's next.
So when they lock down people, get back in your house.
Oh, by the way, tracking trends is an understanding of where we are and how we got here to see where we're going.
So let's go back to the beginning of the COVID war.
It breaks out in China on Chinese Lunar New Year, January 2020, the year of the rat.
People, again, I used to be on Hong Kong TV. There were protests going on in Hong Kong of over a million people out of 7.5 million in the city protesting week after week after week about Chinese taking over and destroying their culture and their freedom.
And I'm doing these shows like 20 minutes and we take a break and I say, Frank, so what's going on?
Mr. Salenti, we're not going to stop this.
We're not going to let him take over.
Guess what? COVID war breaks out.
Everybody get back in your house!
You're not allowed to go out!
There were protests going on all over the world about different things.
One of our top trends in 2020 that we put them out early, like on January 3rd, was New World Disorder.
The French yellow vests, week after week after week, protesting.
Lack of basic living standards, government corruption, crime, violence.
Algeria, India, Chile, Bolivia, all over the world protests are going on.
South Africa. COVID breaks out.
Get back in your house!
You're not allowed to go out!
Yeah, that's right.
Again, tracking trends.
Remember, this has to do with the banking bust.
You have to make the connections.
The first piece of scum that locked down after China was this guy Conti, the clown playing the Prime Minister of Italy.
The average age of the people dying in Italy were 81 years old with pre-existing comorbidities.
The second, the third arrogant little boy, my daddy worked for the Getty Gang!
He was a lawyer and I'm a lousy little freak!
Gavin Newsom, Lockstown, California.
And the first people To tell you that you can't go to work before the lockdown was that little freaky Dorsey guy from Twitter.
He was going to Africa in February of 2020, South Africa, canceled the trip, and told everybody you gotta go home.
So after, Twitter does it, Facebook does it, Google does it, all the techs did it first.
One after another.
Okay. And then Trump releases the money on Friday the 13th that you've talked about so many times.
Yeah, Black Friday. I'm being racist.
How can I say that? Black Friday.
Call it Bribery Friday, because he's giving everybody money.
Declaring the emergency is like declaring an emergency, releasing the money for a major storm coming through.
And then it was that weekend, you had Gavin Newsom, and I think, didn't Cuomo do it that weekend as well?
Cuomo, right after him.
Cuomo followed. Another arrogant little boy.
Arrogant little boys.
Anyway... Yeah, and you know, people hate me because I don't like Trump.
I believed in Trump when he ran.
But then I saw the reverses he did.
And again, he gave us the emergency lockdown on Friday, March 13th, 2020.
He gave us the Operation Warp Speed jab.
He gave us Fauci.
President Fauci. Yeah.
And then he went on.
He brought in pieces of low-life scum of the lowest order.
How about that guy Bolton, huh?
Yeah. Yeah.
A little freaky, warmongering guy.
How about Mad Dog Mattis for the Secretary of Defense?
Oh, Mad Dog Mattis?
A murdering SOB? Mad Dog?
I'll kill anybody anywhere?
Yeah. Yeah. Oh, and Trump that tried to overthrow the Venezuelan government under Bolton?
Yeah. And brought in that guy Guaido and declared he's the real president?
Oh, that Trump? Oh, the Trump that killed Soleimani, the Iranian?
Oh no, the Trump that got $100 million from Sheldon Adelson?
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
And then... And they got a big pharmaceutical...
Closed down the United States Embassy in Tel Aviv and moved it to Jerusalem.
Yeah. Got a big pharmaceutical donation, puts Alex Azar ahead of HHS. And, of course, he did his executive order, or not executive order, he did his declaration of an emergency back at the end of January.
You know, the... Former CEO of Eli Lilly brought in the former CEO of Goldman Sachs.
They paid him $250 million or something like that in an early golden parachute so that he could leave Goldman Sachs and go into the Trump administration.
You know, from the very get-go, even looking at the creeps that he was surrounding himself with, we all know that personnel are policy in an administration.
And it was like, oh no, this is going to be bad.
And it was. It was.
So anyway, going back to, so putting it all together, right?
Yeah. So now, remember, they're telling people to work from home.
So now, people are working from home.
Day after day, week after week, month after month.
And now they're getting up, rather than five in the morning, they're getting up maybe seven or eight.
And they're saying to themselves, holy Christ, I've been going, commuting an hour and a half each way.
Yeah. My life sitting behind a wheel of a car or a train or whatever, a bus, I'm out of my mind.
I'm not going to do this anymore. Now, I'm the guy that's the boss, right?
Let's say I got 10 stories in an office building.
And I got everybody sitting in cubicles.
I don't see them. Yeah, stay home a couple of days a week.
I don't need all this space.
I'm going to save myself a lot of money.
Mm-hmm. All right.
Your office occupancy rate, according to Castle with a K, Castle Systems, four years later, is at 53%.
Oh, and these loans are based on interest payments.
Oh, and the interest rates were way high.
Yeah. Banks are going to go bust.
The worst we've seen.
Way worse than the crash of what happened in the panic of 08.
With the Lehman Brothers.
Way, way worse than the crash of 1929.
Wow. We are on the verge of economic annihilation.
Because you have to put in now, the banks, it's the small and medium-sized banks that have most of these.
And by the way, if people want to get real good information that I go to, it's called Wall Street on Parade.
Russ and Pam Martins.
Mm-hmm. They have great, great data on the banking system, better than most anybody I've seen.
And this last article, they listed a whole bunch of banks and how bad shape they are and how bad their stocks are doing.
But yet the stock markets are going up.
Yeah, that's right. Let me ask you this about, you know, because it is everybody that's talked about it, and there's not that many people that have talked about it, but there are now some media, mainstream media, that occasionally do an article about commercial real estate and the danger there.
They talk about small and medium-sized banks.
I'm of the impression that after the 2007-2008 crash with residential real estate, you've got Elizabeth Warren comes in and she creates the Consumer Financial Protection Board or I got the order of that right.
And the idea is that we're going to keep this from happening again.
And so we're going to tighten the rules for loans.
And they're going to have to go through a lot of paperwork.
We're going to make it very difficult for them to do loans.
And a lot of these small and medium-sized banks said, well, we can't keep up with that paperwork.
So that kind of... Migrated over to the very large banks.
There wasn't the kind of stringent paperwork requirements for the commercial real estate.
Is that how these banks got trapped into that?
Is that because of this kind of extra regulation that's put on there by Liz Warren?
Not really. I just don't see it like that.
Always doing that? You go to who you get it easier from.
Basically, that's it.
So here's this from Wall Street non-parade.
You ready? Mm-hmm. The S&P closed at a record 5,000 yesterday while banks are focusing public's attention on blah, blah, blah.
Okay. U.S. Bancorp, parent of U.S. bank, the fifth largest bank in the U.S., has lost 30% of its market value in the past two years.
KeyBank, 22nd largest, lost 50% of its value.
Comerica, 32nd largest bank, with 415 branches, lost 50%.
It keeps going on.
Small regional banks have experienced even more dramatic share price pain.
First Foundation, Inc., lost 70% of its market share.
So, market value.
So, it's one after another.
So, then you get a story from the Cartoon News Network, CNN, Wall Street is worried about another regional banking crisis.
Worried? A little article of nothing here.
What's happening? After decades of growth bolstered by low interest rates and easy credit, commercial real estate has hit a wall.
Isn't that nice little stupid language?
I mean, what are you talking about?
How about talking about the crisis that has been created?
Again, now you've got New York City.
Foot traffic is down 33%.
Hardly anybody's going to work.
Again, you look at Castle System on Fridays.
Friday used to be party time, happy hours here.
Now, all the businesses that depended on commuters...
Going out of business. I'm hearing from people owning restaurants in New York City how bad business has become.
There was that fake boom last year after things started loosening up with the COVID war.
It's over now.
Again, you look at the data.
Generation Z, it's all your trends journal.
They're going to bed early.
They're not going out and play.
We're going to rock and roll all night, no more.
Dead. The streets are dead.
The damage it's done, a Gallup poll just came out yesterday.
You ready? Yeah.
Less than half of Americans are very satisfied with their own lives.
This is the 46% reading A 46% reading, this is 47%, came in 2007 and 2009 when the country was deep in recession.
So when they're saying everything is going so great, no it's not.
The average person is suffering.
Again, the data.
1%. Out of 8 billion people, own 43% of all the global financial assets.
1%. In the USSA, 1% own 54% of the stocks, the equity markets.
And when you put the 10% in, it's 90%.
Wow. So us plantation workers of Slavelandia own none of this.
So what they're going to keep doing, because the bigs own everything, they're going to keep trying to artificially prop up the equity markets.
But when the banks start crashing, nothing they could do to stop it.
Hmm. And again, you get the magazine each week.
It's not what we like, what we want, what we wish for, but what we see.
We've been writing week after week that Bitcoin's going to remain strong.
Even when it went down, we gave the breakdown points to the top when it was going to break out again.
Hit it right on the numbers.
And now you're looking at it almost going back to $50,000 a coin.
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
What's happening is that people, like in Argentina, all these countries that are suffering terribly, they're watching the value of their currency being destroyed, so they're buying this stuff because they're trying to protect what they have.
You're looking at the data.
In China, last year was almost a record year of people buying gold because they know how bad the economy is going over there.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
So now going back to the commercial real estate bust, this is going to be the worst that's imaginable.
And again, it's all caused by the COVID war.
The damage that is done is incalculable physically, spiritually, emotionally, financially.
Little kids are all screwed up.
Freaked out of their minds, dumbed down to nothing.
Yes. Oh, I agree.
And that's why, you know, that CNN article that you talked about, you notice the way that they couch that.
It's like, yeah, these banks are having a hard time, but, you know, they had it on easy street.
They had all this time of low interest rates and everything, and now they're going to have a little bit of suffering.
But, you know, hey, they deserve that.
No, it was something that was done by both the Trump administration and by the Biden administration.
I mean, they've all got a hand in it.
These two guys, we don't even have a real election anymore.
This is a North Korea election.
You've got one candidate on the ballot in each of these parties, and they're getting 80, 90, 96% of the vote because they're the only candidate that's there.
And they don't even talk about how low the turnout is because nobody cares.
It is a North Korea election.
No debates. No primaries.
We've just got media polls telling us who the winner is.
You're being disrespectful to North Korea.
Exactly. It's like Reagan.
Yeah, they're spending money like a drunken sailor, and that's an insult to drunken sailors.
I mean, it's a freak show.
Oh, America. Look at the clowns.
Look at the money that they get from all the people that tell them what to do.
You don't have any money you can't run.
That's right. That's right.
There was $100 million that was spent by Bush, and Gore accused him of trying to buy the election, because he only had $70 million.
You got everybody who's running for, people running in some places for Congress, are spending more than that.
You got more than that being spent by people who only made half of an effort to compete in the primaries on the Republican side.
And so you're getting a situation where you've got billions of dollars.
Why is there that much money being spent on the presidency?
Because, as H.L. Meekin said, it's an advanced auction on stolen goods.
Everybody knows that they can get whatever they want in Washington if they've backed the winner somehow.
Who's that little clown boy in Texas that ran for governor?
Beto? Yeah, but I call him Beto male.
A little arrogant jerk of nothing.
How about the other clown lady over there in Georgia that ran?
Abrams? Oh yeah, Stacey Abrams.
Clown show in front of everybody's eyes.
Pick your clown. Alright?
You mentioned $100 million?
Both of them.
Lost the race.
A hundred million dollars each one of them spent to run for governor.
Yeah. Where did you get the money from?
Yeah. Stacy, Beto boy, you're not worth a hundred million dollars.
It wasn't your dough. People call it campaign contributions.
Yeah. Morons and imbeciles call it campaign contributions.
Yes. Adults call it bribes and payoffs.
That's right. The government is totally owned by the corporations and the people that give them money.
End of story.
Look what's going on with the massacre in front of everybody's eyes.
Genocide. Pure as can be.
Against the Palestinians.
Oh, don't! Why?
How dare you? How dare you say that?
Why, you anti-Semite?
Why, you Jew hater?
Hey, I'm Ackman!
I'm a billionaire!
Get rid of that lady over there in Harvard!
Get rid of the one over there in Penn State!
How dare they say that they're slaughtering people?
Look how they own it!
Oh, Here's the data.
Go to Mint Press. Look at all the money that the American politicians have gotten from Israeli donors, Jewish organizations.
All the numbers are there.
Oh, Trump only got...
We talk about $100 million?
That guy Sheldon Adelson gave him $100 million when he was running for president.
And again, this is the Trump that moved...
The embassy from Tel Aviv.
And think about that. Thank you, Sheldon Adelson.
One billionaire, whose interest is in a foreign country more than it is in America, one billionaire gives him $100 million when, you know, 20 years earlier, you had the entire campaign expense for George W. Bush was $100 million.
Yep. And that was accused of being excessive at the time.
That's how out of whack this whole thing has gotten.
And that's why you have this acceleration of the concentration of money in Washington and everything else, is because it's just open corruption in front of everybody's eyes.
We all see it. And of course, Trump said Israel owned Congress, and rightfully so, right?
Same way they owned him.
I mean, they paid for him.
He's bought and paid for. Oh, yeah.
Yeah. I mean, look at his son-in-law, Jared Kushner.
When Netanyahu used to come, he used to stay at Kushner's parents' house.
Yeah. I mean, there's one thing after another about how Trump, you know, loves all this.
Mm-hmm. You know, again, you know, going back to what's going on, You've got to make the connections because I'm talking about the dangers of the economy, and now with the United States ramping up the war against Iran.
If there's a military conflict between Iran, the United States, and Israel, you're going to see Brent Crude hit $130 plus a barrel, and that's going to crash the global economy and the equity markets.
Yes. And we're on the brink of that.
Net Yang is not going to stop.
Yeah, before we go into the oil thing, and of course you're right, and all of us who lived through the Arab oil embargo of the late 1970s knows that you send a shock like that through the system and it just wrecks everything.
And we'll come back to that.
But before we leave the other stuff, the banks failing, what is that going to mean to the average American?
I mean, you're going to go down and maybe, you know, for a couple of days, maybe a few more days, your money is going to be locked and you can't get to it because, but you should be made eventually whole, at least at the beginning of all this stuff, by the FDIC. What are the other kind of economic consequences that are going to happen, especially if we've got a lot of banks that start to fail?
What is that going to look like to the average Joe?
How about Taylor Swift?
Why are we talking about this?
Yeah. That's where the average Joe and Jane...
Yeah.
So going back to the banking crisis.
I mean, this is unbelievable.
They're not even going to look at me.
I mean, every damn day, you know.
How many times did she have sex last week?
I mean, you know. Oh, there you go.
She's taking it. But anyway, the banking crisis.
Well, I was going to say, you know, what is it going to, even if they, you know.
Oh, here's what's going to happen. Even if they sit down their Bud Light and stop watching the Super Bowl first.
Like, what's it going to do to them financially?
What's it going to, you know. We know what's going to happen with the oil because we've lived through it.
The kind of thing that's going to happen is that the Russians hacked the banking system.
Yeah. You can't get your money out anymore.
They'll blame it on something else.
And they'll hold it back.
Just don't do it.
And just switch us over. If you have more than $250,000 in there, it's gone.
And you might not be able to get it out.
And this is going to be the beginning of the CBDCs, Central Bank Digital Cash.
Right. That's what I wanted to get to.
Yeah. Yeah. That's what they'll use.
The banking crisis will be used to usher that in.
Because that was already a part, it was two years ago in a couple of months, it was in March of 2022, that Biden said to all of the deep state under him, all the bureaucracy, I want to report about CVDC. We'll take a look at how we're going to completely restructure the financial system, how we're going to enforce it, how we're going to tell people that it's all about climate change and stuff like that.
But that's what they're looking at is to completely reset the financial system.
And that would be a trigger that they could use, wouldn't it?
Yep. And again, go back to your transit journal four years ago.
From dirty cash to digital trash.
Yes, yes. We forecast this is going to come, and it's going to take an event like we're talking about now to make it happen.
And again, look at that guy, that FBI guy that came out last week, this whole article in the Trends Journal, warning us about China and all the cyber attacks they're going to start doing, and how we have to worry about it, alright?
They're setting it up already.
That's right, that's right. And they don't want to talk about, even though this last week, I talked about this, Gerald, briefly.
I said, you know, Vault 7, which was leaked by a guy that was internal to, I think it was the NSA, maybe CIA, I don't know.
But anyway, they gave him 40 years in prison.
And they, but they don't talk about what it was that he leaked. What it was that he leaked Was a program that they had that they could hack into anything they wanted and make it look like they were anybody that they wanted to look like.
They could look like the Russians.
They could look like the Chinese.
They could look like the North Koreans.
Anybody that they wanted to look like.
And that's what's going to be the basis of this cyber attack.
They don't want to talk about Vault 7, and the media throws that under the rug, but I think that's going to be the way they're going to run it out.
There's no media. Yeah, that's right.
What are you talking media?
A bunch of little prostitutes.
They call them prostitutes, media whores that get paid to put out by their corporate pimps and government hallmasters.
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah, and so, you know, when we look at it, and you look at the combined effects of banking failure, stock market issues, an oil shock, and all the rest of this stuff, that is another, just in and of itself, that kind of financial pressure Would, is the kind of thing that's necessary for them to push people into CBDC. Nobody wants this.
But if they can, if you're hurting for money, they've done this in some of the poor countries like India.
They say, well, if you take the number, we will give you welfare, we'll give you health care and all the rest of this stuff.
So you're going to need to do it if you're pressured into it because you need to do it to survive.
It's going to be that bribery angle.
That'll be the first way they come after us.
It's the same way they did it with the vaccine.
They're going to Put you in a difficult situation, and then offer you a carrot at first, and they'll get a lot of people who will accept it that way.
Then they'll come after the remainder of us with sticks, as they did with the vaccine mandates and things like that.
No jab, no job.
That's right. Yeah.
No number, no job.
You won't buy or sell or travel, the rest of the stuff.
You know, the mark of the beast. And don't forget to wear this mask.
Which on the box says, these masks do not eliminate exposure to the risk of any disease or infection.
Yeah. But make sure you wear it.
And if you don't wear it, when you get on that airplane, you better wear this mask.
We'll throw you the hell off. Yeah.
But when you're eating and drinking and you're sitting around everybody in a tiny airplane, you can take your mask off.
Because COVID knows when you're eating and drinking and it doesn't bother you.
But as soon as you take that last bite and that last sip, you better put that damn mask on.
And if you don't, we'll get you arrested when you get off the plane.
That's right. And stand six feet apart when you're outside, inside, because the wind blows exactly in straight lines in six feet.
Doesn't go up, doesn't go down, doesn't go around.
I think it's so that they could get better shots of their slaves because they can't recognize their face with a mask on.
So, you know, let's zoom in on some other biometrics.
Yeah, I've had that conversation with many people at restaurants.
So you're telling me that while I'm standing up, I've got to wear a mask, but as soon as I sit down, I can take it off.
Yeah, that's what we're telling you.
Okay, well, you never see me again as a customer.
I've had those discussions over and over again, more times than I care to remember.
Well, I'll tell you what happened to me.
You know, right next door to me, there's that beautiful hotel and a restaurant.
And I go in there one night, and from the door to the bar is probably about 10 feet.
And I just get to the bar, and the manager walks by, and he said, you didn't put your mask on when you came in.
I said, I didn't know that, because I was just here yesterday, and I didn't have to wear one.
Didn't you see the sign on the door?
No, I didn't see it. I said, next time I come in, I'll put the mask on.
He said, no, you got to put it on now.
I said, wait a minute. I said, I'm staying at the bar.
I said, do I need the mask when I'm at the bar?
He said, no. He said, well, you've got to go outside and put the mask on, then you can come back in.
I said, wait a minute. I said, you're telling me that at the bar, where I am now, I don't have to wear a mask, but I have to go back outside, put on a mask, and then I could come in?
He said, yeah, that's right.
I said, F you, who the hell, at the top of my lungs, who the hell do you think you're talking to?
Who are you, little slimy jerk?
I had enough of your crap.
I'm going berserk on this guy.
I said, you want to talk to me like that?
Come on outside.
Come on outside and talk to me like that.
And put your mask on, because your nose is going to be bleeding.
Little boy. This guy's like in his 30s.
I'm 77. Calling this guy out.
Folded like that.
By the way, the owners of the hotel sent me a $100 gift certificate.
Well, I didn't get that.
But I mean, I don't take crap.
And that's what people don't understand.
I'm born in 1946, at the height of America's spirit, right after World War II. America's at the top.
I'm a Napolitano born in the Bronx.
If you haven't lived in the Bronx, don't tell me your attitude.
I'm not a farmer.
I don't milk cows, pick cotton.
No, it's a different vibe.
Don't mess with me.
I won't mess with you.
Don't mess with me.
That is the attitude of how I grew up.
No more you do what I tell you.
I'm your little lowlife mayor, senator, congressman, kindergarten teacher, principal.
You do what I tell you to do.
And that's America.
Oh, you ready?
Look at the arrogant, arrogant murderer who's our Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin.
Killed people in Iraq, slaughtered them over in Afghanistan.
What was his last job after that?
Oh, where all the military guys go?
He was just, nope.
Board of Directors of Raytheon, the second largest defense contractor.
Yeah. So, he comes out about a month ago and demeans people like me that launched Occupy Peace, and you've been here at my rallies and spoke at them.
Mm-hmm. As being isolationists.
And having no understanding of why and how we should get involved.
And you know why he talks to me like that?
And everybody? He's a general.
And you're just a private.
So make sure you salute him.
That's their attitude.
This slime ball!
And I'll call him to his face!
How dare he talk to me like that!
I'm not an isolationist, slobby boy.
I am an American patriot.
I, unlike you, respect our founding fathers like George Washington.
A real guy that fought unlike you.
Remember Cross the Delaware?
Farewell address.
Do not become involved in any foreign antagonists.
Have no love, no hate for a country.
Because if you have either, you become a slave to them.
That's right. And that's all we are.
Plantation workers of Slavelandia.
Yeah. That's why they...
Look at this little clown boy blinking.
My daddy was...
An ambassador of Hungary!
My uncle was an ambassador to Belgium!
I've been sucking off the public tits since 1994!
I went to Dalton, I went to Harvard, you're a nobody!
Every damn picture you see this guy, big jet that we put him over there on, he can't fly like everybody else, and he's waving.
Goes up the stairs, turns around.
Wait, who are you waving to?
Who are you waving to?
This is propaganda to make them think, the people think that they're better than you.
That's why they do this.
Every time a clown, president, chancellor, prime minister walks around, you got these little boys dressed up in their military drag saluting and they're walking on a red carpet.
A red carpet!
They're better than us!
Do what you're told.
What's the cover of the magazine?
This week. Yeah, pull it up.
How stupid could you be?
Yeah. To swallow the crap coming out of narcissistic mouths and jerks of the politicians.
How stupid could you be?
How dumb could you be to swallow that crap?
What the hell is the matter?
Oh, you look up to little Mikey Johnson?
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Dead in your face, Mitch McConnell?
Hey, let me play Chuckie Schumer.
Let me put my glasses on like this.
Look at the little jerks.
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, they don't have our interest at heart at all, of course.
It's all about them, and it's all about their little agenda, and they don't really care what they do to people.
We were talking about the commercial real estate crash here, and of course, it's unrolling in China.
They'll talk a little bit more about it in China, because I guess it's a little bit safer for them.
Evergrande is now going to be liquidated.
They've got $300 million in debt.
Their assets are supposedly about $245 billion.
I should have said million, I think billion.
And so they're going to liquidate that, but that's just the tip of the iceberg.
What is going to be the effect of China's, you know, their stock market?
Talk about what's going on with their stock market, and where does this end up, and how does it affect us?
Well, the stock market's down about over 40% from its highs.
That's huge. Here's, again, tracking trends is an understanding of where we are, how we got here, and where we're going.
By the way, each week we have a spotlight on China.
Loads of articles on what things we're talking about.
So, go back to 1970, again, how we got here, and to 2001.
You look at China's GDP, it's a slight moving up.
Slime Ball, Bill Clinton brought him into the World Trade Organization in 2000.
They officially came in two weeks after 9-11.
And their economy skyrockets as manufacturers send all our manufacturing over there from Europe and the United States to China to get their stuff made cheap so they can make more money.
With every boom, there's a bust.
China overbuilt.
The bust was going to happen.
One of our trend forecasts, and again, we always say, don't call me a futurist.
Nobody can predict the future.
There are too many wild cards.
One of my forecasts was that the 20th century was the American century, but the 21st century would be the Chinese century.
Because the business of America has been war, and the business of China is business.
Then, we were talking about before, on January 2020, Chinese Lunar New Year, the year of the rat, they launched the COVID war.
And three years of zero COVID policy.
They destroyed the lives and livelihoods of hundreds of millions of Chinese.
The market was overbuilt already.
They made a very, very, very bad situation terribly worse by the lockdowns.
China's economy is going to go down.
We put the numbers in each week.
The imports are down.
The exports are down.
And now you have less because of the Americans that they're doing and Europeans moving to cheaper places, by the way, to get their stuff manufactured.
Matter of fact, Mexico is making more, getting a lot more business now because they got cheaper labor than China.
Yeah, we had more imports from Mexico than China most recently, didn't we?
Just slightly more? Yes. Yeah.
Which is really surprising. Again...
Not including all the people coming in.
We're important to a lot of people.
Sorry. Go ahead. Brought to you by that slimeball Bill Clinton.
Yeah. With NAFTA. That's right.
And he gave us the World Trade Organization.
Here's a perfect example.
Here's a perfect example. This little boy of nothing, Bill Clinton, a little arrogant little jerk off there in Arkansas.
Worth nothing. Now how much is he worth?
How much? A couple of hundred million.
Look at the money that these things get.
Obama, same thing.
Little boys of nothing work hundred million.
How do you think they got the money?
By doing all these deals.
Bill Clinton used to get paid $300,000 an hour to give a talk.
I used to give talks all over the world.
At my top, I was getting $35,000.
And I'm giving real information.
You could hear Clinton BS all day long.
It's payback.
That's right. $300,000.
Same with Hillary Clinton.
Making all this kind of money.
So it's the payoffs that they've done that destroyed the country.
I'm up here in New York.
All up here. Utica.
All these places.
They're making Rochester.
Manufacturing. All gone.
All gone. Now they're slum towns.
Or look at the Midwest. Look at all the slum towns where they used to have manufacturing.
All gone. And don't forget to vote.
Don't forget to vote for your favorite crook that robs and steals from you and takes your money to go kill innocent people.
That's right. Don't forget to vote.
And of course, it's also, you know, in terms of manufacturing base, they're making sure that it doesn't come back because they're eviscerating our energy production.
Even as Biden is doing more coal, what's he doing?
He's sending it to India. Why?
Well, because the Paris Treaty says that India can build as many and as dirty a power plants as they want, just like China, but we can't.
So, you know, we're going to send the coal to India.
We're not going to have energy here.
Yep. Now,
the very fact that he could do that and not have everybody freak out tells us that there's a big constituency there for massive tariffs.
And, of course, a 60% tariff would just be like the way the Federal Reserve has rapidly raised interest rates.
It just creates shocks to the system that people can't adjust to quickly enough and just very chaotic and destructive to do that.
But what do you think is going to happen?
Are we going to move to a more mercantilistic system?
No. No? I don't know.
But what's important is that I agree that we should have very high tariffs.
I say put all the tariffs back in place that used to exist in the 1950s.
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
I agree with that.
I think, you know, we look at, of course, with Jefferson, we had a government that was very, very small, and they could run that whole thing off of tariffs.
There was no internal taxations whatsoever.
And so I agree, you know, having a free trade system here instead of internal taxes, the globalists were the ones who wanted to have free trade and have all internal taxes because they realized they could make more money out of it.
It's just that when you talk about A rapid change like that.
It's just like, you know, we talk about how the interest rates have been kept so low for so long, they've created this bubble, and the interest rates needed to be brought up.
But, you know, by bringing them up as rapidly as they did after leaving them down so low, that creates economic, you know, chaos that traps a lot of people.
And the same thing is going to happen if all of a sudden they jump to 60% tariffs or something like that.
Here's the thing.
When Again, another expression in trends forecasting is that all things are connected.
Let's go back to February of 2022 when the Ukraine war broke out and the United States put sanctions on Russia.
Putin's going to pay for this, Biden said.
And all of the companies in Europe and America that pulled out of Russia, remember they're closing down, Starbucks, all of them, everybody pulling out.
Yes. We came out with our trend, self-sustaining economies.
Russia has all, most they have, they have the human resources and the natural resources to be self-sustaining.
Yes. Now the data came out, Russia's economy went up, what, 3 point something percent?
Mm-hmm. Last year.
Mm-hmm. And the IMF is saying it's going to go up even higher this year.
Yeah. It's being a self-sustaining economy.
Yeah. Yeah. Again, I'm in Kingston, New York.
Gantz shirts used to be made over.
Who ever heard of them anymore?
Mm-hmm. One after another.
There were factories all over the place.
Shirt factories all over the place.
That's right. The only way America could come back is to become a self-sustaining economy.
We have all the natural and human resources that we need.
But of course what they're doing is they're blocking it with the energy stuff, this so-called climate crisis, right?
That's what they're doing. That's not a tiny part of it.
It's all the manufacturing that's left.
Of our GDP, 70% is on consumer spending, nearly 70%.
Manufacturing accounts for the grand total of 11%.
Nothing.
Manufacturers pay, you gotta pay people to work.
In a service sector, you pay them nothing.
Every time, again, the bigs have taken over everything.
As I said, I'm born, you know, 77 years ago.
There were grocery stores, hardware stores, stationary stores, drug stores.
Now there are drug chains, grocery chains, hardware chains.
They're all chains.
That's right. The people make nothing.
So it's bigger than that.
It's the bigs of controlling everything.
And that's a big part of what the sanctions were, you know, because you were told, as I said over and over again, it was directed towards Main Street for the benefit of Wall Street.
You're not essential. You shut down.
And so what was left was service businesses, and those are the ones that they went hardest after.
Restaurants and every other form of service business, you've got to shut down because you're meeting people in face.
But we'll let Walmart stay open.
Because they're essential. Oh yeah.
I've seen that. That to me is the only...
But then again, even if that happened, when I look at the shape of America, it breaks my heart.
It's Slobville.
I just came back.
I went to a... A couple of weeks ago, I went to Florida when I couldn't do it on a Friday for a memorial service for a dear friend of mine that passed on.
And I flew down there, came back, and you ever hear the expression, pigs can't fly?
They're flying.
Been to the airport lately?
I just saw that some Scandinavian airport is going to start weighing the passengers, not just the luggage.
I mean, you go to the airport, it's the way that people look, the way they dress, the way they are.
I mean, it's so sad.
I started flying first class.
I was the number two guy at 30 years old of a major trade association.
And I started flying first class in 1974.
Everybody was dressed up.
They'd roll down a roast.
Would you like lobster Thermador or the roast that they're carving?
That's right. Now they give you a glass of wine in first class and a plastic cup and some crappy food.
And you know who you could thank for this?
Screwing up the airlines?
Another arrogant little boy.
Jimmy Carter. He deregulated the airline industry.
I remember the guy, another arrogant piece of scum, Alfred Kahn.
I'll never forget. Because, again, I'm flying.
I'm traveling all over the world.
And I'm seeing it go.
They used to be Braniff.
They used to be Eastern. They used to be TWA. They used to be Pan-American.
They used to be Mohawk.
They used to be, used to be, used to be, used to be, used to be.
When the government controlled it, they controlled the prices.
They used to compete on service.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All gone. Now you've got, what, two, three, four companies own everything.
And again, they buy off the politicians.
So again, going back to self-sustaining economy, do the Americans have the spirit to do it?
And I don't think they do at this time.
All the vibe is gone.
All the vibe is gone.
It's dead. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?
Don't you talk about happiness.
I'm the governor. I'm the mayor.
I'll tell you what to do.
Get back in your house. No happiness allowed.
Not a word that's ever spread anymore.
Nobody talks about a good time.
That's right. The heart.
And keep people isolated.
Keep people isolated from each other.
It's truly amazing when we look at it.
With this, they're going to roll it out into this climate stuff.
Why are we talking about climate lockdowns and, you know, controlling our food, controlling our energy and all the rest of this stuff.
But it really was the pandemic and the fear associated with that, you know, that narrative to get everybody afraid.
And now that you're afraid, we're going to really stick it to you.
And that was, and just like people got accustomed to working from home, they got accustomed to taking orders.
And it's really hard to get people to grow a spine back.
I know. It's just amazing.
You're right. That's what I said.
I don't know if America could do it.
They lost their spine. They're not fighters.
Again, look how many people...
You know how much hated I am up here when I had the rally when everything was locked down.
And I had well over 1,000 people here.
We all died, by the way, during COVID. Yeah.
I know. Everybody died.
I remember when they had, at the very beginning of all this nonsense, and they said, oh, look, there was somebody who's got sniffles, and we tested them.
They got a PCR test, and they got COVID. And they were at CPAC. Remember that?
And the left got so excited.
Oh, good, all the conservatives are going to die because they didn't pay any attention to this.
And you had Rand Paul and all these people self-isolating and all the rest of the stuff.
Nobody died. Nobody at all died.
And none of these old senators died.
None of the gerontocracy died in Washington.
They all kept popping along.
I've got a note here for you.
This is from Fawn on Rockville and Gerald.
Thank you for the tip. She says, well to know me and how I love Gerald.
Glad to see him on the show.
So that's from Fawn.
And Timed Non-Tides says, you heard the day the music died?
Well, Trump's COVID agenda was the day that freedom died.
I guess we should go back and rewrite the lyrics to Bye Bye Miss American Pie.
You were talking before about Fauci.
He also, you know, he's talking about fear.
He also gave us the AIDS scare.
Yeah, that's right. The people who were dying of AIDS were mostly gay people and people that were drugged up.
And again, I'm a New York City guy.
I have no idea what was going on in the city back in the 70s.
Guys doing poppers like crazy.
Sperm can't go into the bloodstream.
That's what was causing the AIDS among the gay population.
That is from the Wall Street Journal, so don't hate me for saying this.
Oh, by the way, the word gay used to mean happy at one time.
And again, be where you want to be.
I could care less. Yeah, there's nothing gay now about America.
There's nothing happy about America.
We're just the other kind of gay.
So anyway, Fauci gave us that.
And that ended the sexual revolution, which, you know, everybody has their own way of doing things, but, you know, it was okay with me, you know.
But that ended it.
Well, and he also tried to sell remdesivir for AIDS. And everybody said, no, it just kills a kidney.
It doesn't help anybody. So then he tried it with Ebola, and then he pronounced it, the standard of care, because he had so much power under Trump.
You look at the data.
Straight people were not dying of AIDS. The facts are there.
Just like the COVID war, we're talking about what happened to the young people.
This is the data.
Yeah. There were 73 million 1 to 17-year-olds.
All forced to stay home, get out of school, blah, blah, blah, blah.
According to the CDC, they stopped doing the numbers in June of 2023.
From January 2020 to June of 2023, 1,952 1-17-year-olds dies of AIDS. And 73 million over three years.
And according to the CDC, 60% of those hospitalized for COVID were obese.
Well, you know what he did with the real common thread there between AIDS and this COVID thing was the PCR test.
And the guy who got the Nobel Prize for it, Kerry Mullis, kept attacking him and said, you can't prove that this is a virus using my PCR test.
I want to debate you, and he says he won't debate me anywhere.
We've had different universities and scientists say they'll host the debate.
He won't do it. He said he'll look you in the eye on TV and lie straight to your face.
And he died just a couple of months before they started this BS about that.
And that was the core of both the AIDS thing that he did, as well as this COVID thing was a PCR test.
But one thing he did teach that I really agree with, Yeah.
Yeah. It's crazy.
We've got another comment here for you.
Trump Burger Forever says, I read that once the airlines realized they could save $300,000 a year by removing one strawberry from the salads that snowballed from there.
Just a little bit right there.
And just multiply the effect out there.
Well, that's where we are. Now we've got...
Earlier in the program, Gerald, I pointed out Matt Walsh got this thing from a year ago where they were talking to the FAA. He said, you know, the problem is we've got just too many white pilots.
We've got to start hiring people of color, you know.
Let's take the baggage handlers and let's make them pilots if that's necessary.
Because, you know, skin color is the thing that matters.
That's going to keep the planes in the air.
I'm on a no-fly list as far as I'm not flying on any of this stuff.
I hate to fly any of you.
Oh, yeah. It's awful. Well, it's always great talking to you, Gerald.
