	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	As the clock strikes 13, it's Tuesday, the 9th of April.
	Hear of our Lord, 2024.
	Well, today we're going to take a quick look at some of the reactions to this eclipse thing, especially some of the Trump fans.
	And we've got all kinds of crazy prophecies, crazy reporters who go crazy in the dark, and others.
	But we're going to also take a look.
	There's an excellent article.
	About what is really fundamentally changing about gold.
	We've noticed that instead of gold being inversely tied to interest rates as they go down, gold goes up, that type of thing.
	That's been broken. And it's been broken for a while.
	And it indicates that there's a real shift that is happening.
	So we're going to take a look at that as well as the climate stuff.
	You now have, with this Hawaiian lawsuit going in, you have former generals and admirals talking about how this is going to affect national security.
	Natural security as well.
	It'll affect our ability to move.
	But, of course, that's not anything that anybody cares about.
	This might be something, however, that would get their attention.
	So pay attention to that.
	Also joining us today is going to be Joel Skousen in the third hour.
	He is going to be talking to us about how he perceives what's happening with the various wars around the world.
	Always good to have his expert advice.
	And we talk about the eclipse.
	And I didn't talk about it on Friday.
	I didn't talk about it yesterday. I didn't talk about it, you know, all last week.
	Everybody else is going crazy about this stuff.
	And it certainly was an opportunity for the clickbait masters to get involved.
	I even saw several sites that were Christian that said, well, what does this tell us about the future, about prophecy, and the rest of the stuff?
	And you click on it, and it says, absolutely nothing!
	Right? That's right.
	They even clickbaited on that as a joke.
	But everybody was doing it.
	Everybody was doing it. And it's just insanity to see all these false prophets and clickbait masters out there.
	And they really don't care.
	They know they're going to be caught in a lie.
	But just like Alex Jones and Steve Pacinic, they don't care.
	They go ahead with it anyway because that doesn't really matter.
	People will move on. They've got a short attention span.
	And so this is the way that CNN Reporter covered this at the eclipse.
	This is, I think, indicative of just the insanity of it.
	Here's the CNN Reporter live at one spot where they had a total blackout.
	There she is in the dark.
	There we go.
	Okay. Oh!
	Wow!
	The crowd is willing it!
	Yeah! Howard Dean moment here.
	Remember Howard Dean?
	He kind of tanked his campaign.
	He won some primary somewhere.
	And it's like, we're rocking this!
	And I started screaming, just like her.
	And isn't it interesting?
	When the sun got blacked out, she noticed the temperature dropped.
	It's almost as if the sun is warming up the planet instead of your SUV. What's going on with that?
	Are they going to have to rethink things at CNN about the climate alarmism?
	Absolutely amazing. And then I had a listener send this to me.
	He said, I think I'm going to throw up.
	This is the Trump crowd take on it.
	The most important moment.
	Oh yes, the most important moment.
	In human history.
	The most important moment in human history.
	Nothing more important than this.
	Is it the solar eclipse?
	No, the most important moment in human history is taking place in 2024.
	All the people are looking up to the sun god.
	Yes, and you see the silhouette there of our favorite idol, our sun god, Donald Trump.
	Yeah, that's it right there.
	He will save America.
	I added that at the end because I wanted to throw up as well.
	It continues to go on with this Zarathustra.
	Yeah, this is something that Richard Strauss did based on the nihilism of the guy who said, we have killed God.
	God is dead, right?
	Nishi and his idea of the Superman.
	Yeah, this is all.
	And so, well, let's not call him a fascist Nazi or anything.
	Let's just use all the music that was always there to worship the Ubermensch, you know, the superman.
	Kind of the core idea, the atheism, the idolatry, the secular humanity.
	There was a basis for Nazi Germany.
	Right there.
	Yeah. What a joke this has all become.
	And then someone else sent me this.
	And this is, I think, puts it in perspective.
	It's a quote from Solberg.
	It says, An eclipse is a cosmic reminder that the universe is not a random collection of matter and events that happen by chance.
	The cosmos is so finely tuned that we can know precisely where every heavenly body will be 200 years from now, down to the minute.
	These events remind us that the universe is not an accident and neither are we.
	God made both, and he is in control.
	As a matter of fact, when we look at the planets and we look at the unique things about the earth, you even have scientists who look at this say, well, it's almost as if everything was precisely tuned for the existence of life right here.
	Because if we just had this slight variation in terms of our orbit, if we were a little bit closer, further away from the sun, just a little bit, or if the atmosphere was slightly different, or if this was slightly different, it looks like it is fine-tuned because if anything changed at all, we wouldn't have life here.
	We'd be a dead planet like the rest.
	I know, by the way, when you find water, that is not evidence of life.
	Water is a necessary thing.
	For the kind of material life that we see.
	But it's not sufficient.
	And so, when they look at this, they say, well, it almost looks like it's set up for man, that it is centered on man, that it's centered on the earth, but that's not the case.
	Well, why is it not the case?
	What do you know that we don't know?
	Well, they don't tell us, do they?
	There's a lot of excitement about the solar eclipse that is happening, and some are even suggesting it might be a sign from heaven that judgment is coming.
	I said one person, well, if you want a sign from heaven that judgment is coming, just open up your Bible and read it.
	You could even read the Trump Bible.
	It's even in that one. But people don't want to.
	They're looking everywhere else and to everyone else.
	Except to the Bible. So we want to see where the judgment is coming.
	One woman allegedly went on a shooting spree because she was directed by God to do so.
	You know, we keep having these people.
	You know, we had Son of Sam years and years ago who said he was being told by God to kill these people up in New York.
	What was his name? Berkovich or something like that.
	But... And his dog was speaking to him or something, you know.
	David Berkovich or something like that.
	Anyway, yeah, he thought God was talking to him.
	Well, God's not going to tell you to shoot people.
	You would know that if you read the Bible.
	You would know that if you are in fact hearing that voice, there's something else going on, either with you or somebody else is playing with you, but it's not God.
	He doesn't tell you things that are going to contradict his basic principles.
	And he's also going to tell you to do stupid suicidal things, things that are going to injure you.
	He's not going to tell you to go follow a narcissistic billionaire politician and put your entire life at risk.
	He's not going to tell you to do that either.
	That's the grandma that we talked about yesterday, and I feel sorry for her.
	She listened to the voices of demons, you know, Steve Bannon, Alex Jones, Donald Trump.
	Yeah, those are the voices of demons talking to you, perhaps through these people.
	Or maybe the voice of the CIA. It's hard to distinguish the CIA from actual demons.
	But yeah, God's not going to tell you to do suicidal things that are going to destroy your life to benefit and to follow some kind of narcissistic billionaire.
	But this person, this woman, went on a shooting spree on the highway.
	Talon Nichelle Celestine.
	Charged with attempted murder, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, and improper discharge of a weapon.
	Because you're not supposed to discharge the weapons into passing cars.
	That's one of the first things you learn if you take a gun class.
	That's a definite no-no.
	Florida Highway Patrol arrested this 22-year-old in Georgia, charged her with attempted murder.
	They didn't arrest her in Georgia.
	She is from Georgia. They arrested her in Florida where she was doing the shooting.
	She says she was directed by God to shoot people in their vehicles.
	The driver of one vehicle that was hit was hit by the broken glass, grazed on the arm by a bullet.
	Still, he was able to move over to the shoulder of the interstate.
	She continued driving. She allegedly shot at another vehicle.
	And shot the driver in the neck.
	The driver was transported to a nearby hospital to be treated for injuries.
	I don't say what his or her condition is.
	But she was taken to the jail where she was booked on several charges, including attempted murder.
	God is not going to tell you to attempt murder on people.
	So, was that a hate crime?
	No, God told her to do it, right?
	It was an act of God, she said.
	I love how people always say natural disasters, an act of God.
	Well, that's the way they like to see God.
	In Scotland, where they put this expansive hate crime law, hate speech making that a crime, well, the Scottish police are saying they can't cope with a deluge of bogus hate crime reports under this new law.
	And, of course, the guy who is pushing all this stuff, Pakistani, who is now the Prime Minister of whatever is, Grand Poobah of Scotland, whatever that is.
	This guy actually hates Scottish people.
	He's made comments about how it's so depressing to always be the only white person in the room.
	Well, maybe you should go somewhere else then if you are that racist and you're that hateful that it bothers you so much to see people of a different skin color.
	But some of them have different hair color too.
	What's his problem?
	But it's the Scottish National Party, hard, hard left, self-loathing lefties who vote for somebody like this, who loathes them as well.
	They have common cause.
	They hate themselves, and he hates them as well.
	So let's vote for him.
	We have that in common with each other.
	And there were more the very first day of this when he had J.K. Rowling throw down the gauntlet and start talking about trainees versus women.
	She says, okay, go ahead and arrest me.
	I defy you to do it. And they backed down.
	As a matter of fact, there were more charges of hate speech about this prime minister, whatever his title is, Then there were charges against, or accusations, I should say, against Rowling.
	And then David Threadgold, who is chairman of the Scottish Police Federation, a police union, claimed that officers remained confused about who should be charged because of inadequate training.
	Well, here's a clue. If the person's really famous, you let them go.
	You know, like J.K. Rowling.
	But if they're not, you nail them to the wall.
	That's what's going to really happen.
	We know. Around 8,000 hate crime reports are made the first week of legislation coming into force with Mr.
	Threadgold warning that it was being exploited to fuel personal and political vendettas.
	Well, yeah, that's what this is.
	It's full-on Marxism.
	It's a big struggle session.
	They always have hated speech, and they always will hate speech, and they hate people that are different from them as well.
	Officers have been brought back to do overtime shifts, he said, and it is simply unsustainable.
	We can't go through all of these.
	Well, maybe you just deep-six it if you see that it is something pertaining to speech, because in a free country, They like to say democracy.
	Speech is not a crime.
	Claims also emerged on Monday that the police had dismissed a complaint about a relative of an SNP politician.
	You see? That's how you determine this.
	Famous person, relative of a politician, a politician himself.
	This person allegedly posted an anti-Semitic image online.
	They let the complaint about this relative of a politician who posted something anti-Semitic online go because he or she was not Jewish.
	Well, that's an interesting take on this, because you remember Matt Hancock when he came after Andrew Bridgen?
	Andrew Bridgen made the statement, he said, these vaccines and these measures have killed more people than the Holocaust, or it's been like a Holocaust.
	I don't even think he said it was more people.
	He just mentioned the Holocaust as an example of mass murder.
	Emmett Hancock, who is not Jewish, Accused him of anti-Semitism, and Andrew Bridgen is suing him now because Andrew Bridgen's been about the only politician in the UK. We don't really have one here in the U.S. who has stood up to this.
	Well, we do have Ron Johnson, the senator.
	We do have Thomas Massey, but neither of them to the extent that Andrew Bridgen has.
	And Andrew Bridgen bore a lot of punishment for that.
	He was called anti-Semitic.
	They kicked him out of the conservative party simply because he was talking about what a massive atrocity this was.
	And yet, you know, Matt Hancock is okay calling somebody else anti-Semitic because he's talking about the vaccine.
	Playing the race card, a big red herring, don't pay attention to the vaccine.
	This guy is anti-Semitic.
	And he gets away with it.
	Democrats, by the way, are having the free speech rules pushed against them now because they're getting these college protesters coming after them because of their support of what is happening with Israel and Gaza.
	And so they have, as they're giving their little speeches in colleges where they would normally be welcome, now these Jacobins, Or having the mob come after them like Robespierre.
	I always said this was going to happen. Jonathan Turley wrote a column on the Hill.
	He says, after years of supporting the censoring and blacklisting of others, these politicians like Jeremy Raskin are now being targeted by the very anti-free speech movement that they once fostered.
	The mob has come for them, just like the French Revolution.
	Hillary Clinton last week became the latest Democrat targeted by protesters in a visit to her alma mater, Wesley College.
	And so Biden told social media companies a couple of years ago, you are killing people by allowing free speech.
	He wanted to shame the executives into censoring the people that he didn't like.
	And then we have Jamie Raskin, also leading figure in Congress, opposing efforts to curtail massive censorship programs that were being coordinated by the Biden administration.
	We now have the receipts, the emails, and other things showing that this is being directed.
	We always knew this.
	We've known this for six years, and actually longer than that.
	We knew it before 2018 when it It was done openly against Infowars, but we knew that even before then that the government was directing it.
	And so Raskin opposed the investigation of federal censorship, even when they had the documents there.
	He continues to push social media companies to increase the censorship and silencing of Americans, says Jonathan Turley.
	Last December, he sent a letter on behalf of other Democrats on the powerful House Oversight Committee demanding even more censorship, not only on election fraud, on COVID, or on climate change, but also on abortion.
	You know, I thought about it when somebody sent me the clip.
	I hadn't seen it for a few years of...
	You know, seven...
	Well, actually, it wasn't the seven dirty words, but it was the club and you ain't in it, the George Carlin thing.
	And, of course, he had a very famous battle with the FCC and others over seven dirty words that you're not allowed to say.
	And they were all sexual and content.
	And I thought, well, that's interesting.
	If you're coming up with a list of words, it doesn't have to be limited.
	It's not limited to seven anymore.
	And it certainly isn't about sexual stuff.
	As a matter of fact, they want you to talk about sexual stuff.
	They want your kid in elementary school or kindergarten to talk about sexual stuff.
	Come on, say the words. I love it when you say the words.
	Don't tell your parents, though. Here's some pictures I want to show you, too.
	That's what's going on in the schools.
	It's amazing to see how things have changed.
	But it wasn't that that made me think about the seven dirty words.
	I was thinking, what are the words that you are not allowed to say today?
	You know, things like Pfizer, Moderna, mRNA, ivermectin, HCQ, pro-life, medical martial law, little phrases like that.
	These are the things that will get you removed from social media, get you canceled and removed.
	Just like he was removed from radio stations and other things.
	We're saying the seven dirty words.
	The tactics haven't changed.
	It's just the words that have changed, isn't it?
	We're troubled by the rapid spread of abortion misinformation, said Jeremy Raskin.
	So you're not allowed to show pictures, either, of what abortion really is.
	Don't show the murdered babies.
	Don't show the dismembered children ripped apart.
	And the mother and then collected the parts collected and put out on a table so they can make sure they got all of the parts of the baby out that they ripped apart while it was alive.
	Don't show that.
	Don't say that either.
	You get kicked to the outer corners of the internet, like me.
	No, abortion misinformation, disinformation.
	I don't want to see this on your company's social media platform, said Jeremy Raskin.
	And the threat this development poses to safe abortion access in the United States.
	They don't care about safe abortions.
	They're letting people get pills without a doctor's examination to abort their babies chemically, which presents a real health issue for the mothers.
	They don't care.
	If they can kill the mother, so much the better.
	When journalists and even other members testified in favor of free speech, Democrats attacked them as Putin lovers and insurrectionists.
	But last week, the left turned on Raskin.
	He was giving a lecture titled, Democracy, Autocracy, and the Threat to Reason in the 21st Century.
	What hypocrisy for somebody who is a censor to talk about reason, the threat to reason in the 21st century.
	Protesters accused Raskin of being complicit in genocide.
	And the University of Maryland president said, Daryl Pines had to end the event early.
	And then Jonathan Turley says, Now, Turley is exactly right about this.
	A heckler's veto is not free speech.
	They're just shouting down free speech.
	This is not a debate. This is not an exchange in ideas.
	Somebody is heckling you.
	They just want to get you off the stage.
	They don't want you to speak.
	It's another way of canceling and censoring people.
	So a heckler's veto is not free speech.
	He's absolutely right. So the University of Maryland president said, what you saw play out was actually democracy and free speech and academic freedom.
	Nothing of the sort.
	Nothing of the sort. You know, there are rules for debate.
	And the universities used to encourage and exchange and debate of ideas.
	Now they encourage censorship and canceling and veto of speech.
	He said, from our perspective as a university, these are difficult conversations that we should be having.
	It wasn't a conversation.
	It was a shout-down.
	And he certainly deserved it.
	So he says the mob finally came for him.
	After years of encouraging and demanding the censorship of others, deplatforming is the rage on our college campuses.
	And that's the key thing.
	You know, when you look at what is happening with DEI and censorship and all the rest of this stuff, you think about what a cesspool the universities are.
	There was an article a couple of days ago on Zero Hedge.
	Talking about the degrees that were most likely to result in unemployment.
	A lot of the usual stuff that you would expect.
	The one that was like number four or five, however, was aerospace engineering, a rocket scientist.
	It's kind of no respect for that, I guess.
	We actually, that's nothing new.
	It's just there's so few jobs in that.
	When we had the video stores, we had a guy who had just graduated, and he had a degree in aerospace engineering from NC State, and he couldn't find a job.
	And so we'd introduce him as our resident rocket scientist to people on this.
	But he eventually got a job.
	But I don't know if it was as a rocket scientist or if he repurposed that into something else.
	One of the guys that I worked with in engineering had a physics degree.
	Physics was also there.
	But those are the only two that were really practical.
	The rest of the stuff was like sociology and physics.
	This kind of art history.
	Things like that. How are you going to get a job with that?
	But for physics, it can sometimes be hard to get a job as well.
	Unless you go all the way to a PhD and start teaching in the university.
	But we should start thinking about how the universities are not just a massive waste of taxpayer money.
	A massive waste of individuals who get into massive debt.
	Of course, it's going to be forgiven now by Biden.
	I actually saw somebody, I'm just diverging here, but somebody else tried to shame Christians who were saying, Biden shouldn't be getting rid of this student debt.
	And they said, well, I thought Christians were all about forgiveness.
	Somebody correctly pointed out, this is not forgiveness.
	This is theft.
	It would be forgiveness if the person that you owed the money to let you go, but he's just giving away stuff, stealing it from other taxpayers.
	But beyond all of that, beyond the waste of time, the waste of money, the college degree frequently is, It's this Marxist seminary that is destroying our society with the DEI and the struggle sessions and the censorship and all the rest of this.
	And that's what they're so focused on.
	That is their passion now.
	That was always there 50 years ago when I was in college.
	It was there. But it was a very, very tiny minority.
	Yes, student government had been taken over in this commuting campus on the University of South Florida.
	They had about 25,000 students there at the time, but it was mostly a commuting school.
	And people didn't really get involved in student government or student activities, but you still had to pay a student activity fee.
	And the people who took over the student government were the Black Student Union and the Gay Coalition.
	And they were Marxists and they were thieves.
	And they embezzled thousands of dollars for their personal use.
	But they got away with it because, you know, they're special people.
	Like the Scottish politician who can say whatever he wants or his relatives who can say whatever he wants.
	They got away with that theft.
	That personal theft.
	I mean, anyway.
	Yeah, these schools need to be shut down.
	They need to be shut down or pay their own way.
	Let them pay what it really costs.
	One of the reasons that tuition, of course, has skyrocketed is because it was heavily subsidized by the government.
	And so, as they would subsidize it, they would jack it up even more.
	Same thing happens with our medical fees at hospitals.
	Because there's a lot of insurance coverage, they just jack it up.
	So you wind up paying as much or more than you would if you were a cash patient.
	I've seen this. Even before they rolled out Obamacare, the LA Times was talking about it.
	We experienced that because we were self-insured, actually through one of the Christian ministry sharing things.
	It was when you go in and you tell them, oh, I don't have insurance.
	Oh, well, we don't need to do this test and this test and that test.
	And you can negotiate the prices down.
	And then you had the Christian organization with Samaritan Ministries and you could share that with people.
	Now that we are on, what is it, Medicare?
	Medicare, yeah. We go in and they want to do everything to us.
	It's like, no, no, no, I don't need that.
	I've got to tell them, back off.
	I'm doing exploratory tests and all the rest of this stuff.
	I know what you do to people with those tests sometimes.
	But they just want to do everything.
	Because they've got a blank check from the government, you know, if you're part of that program.
	Anyway, last week, Walter Isaacson...
	Former CEO of CNN and of the Aspen Institute, you know, liberal elites out there in Aspen, was accused of assaulting a Tulane student protester during an event held off campus.
	Isaacson is now 72.
	He teaches at Tulane.
	He was attending the university-sponsored event and had had enough when McDonald became the eighth protester to stop the event.
	He stood up and he shoved McDonald into the hall.
	McDonald, the student, insisted that he and his fellow protesters are merely peacefully interrupting the event.
	Help, help, I'm being repressed.
	Straight out of Monty Python.
	The event to stop others from speaking.
	He displayed slight scratch marks.
	And it's quoted as expressing a fear of returning to campus after the incident.
	And they have demanded that this former CNN CEO be fired.
	All this stuff. Turley says, yet these students have been taught for years that speech is violence.
	And it's harmful. Well, I guess if speech is violence, then this guy initiated the violence, so Isaacson was just responding to that violence, right, when that happened.
	I had this sent to me by a listener.
	He said, there could be something very dangerous going on here in Missouri.
	Perhaps this is an attempted gun grab.
	Perhaps they have homeschools in the site.
	Senator Andrew Koenig And other Missouri legislators who are pushing school choice in Missouri need to answer for this and put it on the record.
	And he says, so compare the current law to this proposed new law.
	And he asks, are they trying to criminalize gun possession for homeschool parents in their own home?
	Previously... They had defined, you know, as used in a couple of different sections in the law, they would define a home school as a school incorporated or unincorporated.
	And again, that's not a good definition, but that was the previous one.
	But now they're saying for all the purposes of state law, for all purposes of state law.
	So it's not just something that has to do with education, but this is for any purpose in state law.
	And then the drafting manual says this limitation will ensure that the definition is not misconstrued as applying to the entire code, and he referenced this in Arkansas, while the definition is not intended to apply.
	In other words, it was something that was very specific to homeschooling, but now it's saying for all of state law, let's pull that back up again here, And then when it talks about criminal gun law in the state of Missouri, back to the Missouri statute again, if you carry a firearm in any school, in any school, okay, well, if you've defined...
	A homeschool to be something that is incorporated or unincorporated, and you say that it is essentially, for purposes of state law, a homeschool is a school, whether incorporated or unincorporated, that has as its primary purpose a provision of private or religious-based instruction.
	Well, if you're going to define it that way, and then say that for all of state law, well, that would also put it under the state laws that would govern carrying guns.
	So that's an interesting issue.
	If you're in Missouri, you need to take a look at that and see what is happening with it.
	Meanwhile, the ATF has undermined, as the headline is put in Breitbart, they've undermined the left's hysteria over the so-called gun show loophole.
	The ATF and the National Firearms Commerce and Trafficking Assessment Report have...
	Essentially said that when you look at the numbers of gun trafficking for intrastate trafficking, so they have things that happen within the state, things that happen from between one state to another, and then things that are international, that cross the border into, let's say, for example, Mexico, like the gunwalker program under Bush and the Fast and Furious program under Obama.
	Those were false flag attacks.
	Even the New York Times admitted that.
	It blew up in their face because under the Fast and Furious, under Obama, you had a law enforcement officer get shot.
	But the purpose of that was to make a case...
	To have complete registration, serial numbers for guns, and even in some cases, extreme cases, they had pushed for ammunition so they could track everything that we had.
	And the justification for it was going to be, well, this stuff is going across the border into Mexico, so we need to stop this international trafficking of guns.
	And that was not just Obama.
	That was also Bush, George W. Bush.
	But that blew up in their faces.
	Following decades of hysteria from the left resulting in gun control push after gun control push based on the so-called gun show loophole, one would think such shows to play a dominant role in intrastate and interstate trafficking and even international trafficking.
	The new report, the NFCTA, which is again the National Firearms Commerce and Trafficking Assessment, shows only 3.2 percent of ATF intrastate trafficking within the state involving trafficking in firearms at gun shows.

	And only 4.5% in international trafficking.
	So again, just like the climate stuff, this is a phony problem that they're just using as an excuse to run through the MacGuffin they want.

	I'm going to play a song.
	I want to say on Rockman, thank you very much to Michelle Obama.
	Thank you for the tip.
	I appreciate that. And let's talk about money, specifically about gold.
	The gold price is up nearly 19% in this rally, but you haven't seen anything yet, says Robert Minter, who is a director of investment strategy at a U.K. investment company called Aberdeen.
	He writes in an interview, he says, rather, gold's rally to record highs above $2,350 an ounce is just getting started.
	And it's only a matter of time before retail investors jump into gold-backed exchange-traded funds to kick off the next major leg higher.
	Now, he's somebody, his investment company, Aberdeen, actually has a gold ETF. And they have seen it go past $3 billion for the first time because a lot of people are starting to get into the gold ETF. Again, I've talked about the paper gold many times with Tony Ardeman and how that is not real.
	We'll talk a little bit more about that.
	But it is the first thing that a lot of people look at because it makes the transaction a little bit easier.
	And, you know, you can buy it in smaller increments, a tenth of an ounce or something like that.
	And you can do it through a broker, although it's not difficult to do it through Tony Arderman.
	You just call him up and place the order.
	Again, you can go to wisewolf.gold through davidknight.gold.
	I've dealt with Tony for a very long time, and he can lock that price in for you and get it.
	But Minter said, since April of 2022, ETF investors have sold about 750 tons of gold, creating a massive supply in the marketplace that was met with two years of historic demand from central banks.
	So what he's saying is, typically the ETFs are bought by retail customers.
	And they're looking at this, and they were selling it off massively.
	And it's also institutional people.
	It's not just consumers in the United States.
	A lot of them will buy the paper gold, sell the paper gold, but it's very, very heavily institutions.
	And they will sell it off in reaction to interest rates and things like that.
	The institutions will. And so there's been very, very heavy selling, as they point out, 750 tons over the last two years.
	But that was bought, the demand was strong enough from the central banks to keep the price of gold firm, to keep it from declining as it always has in the past.
	That's kind of interesting.
	And so he says, if you were a prudent central bank fund manager in some of these countries, you would diversify away from the dollar to reduce your risk.
	It's just plain and simple.
	He said he expects Western investors are waiting for an actual rate cut from the Federal Reserve to move.
	That's why he thinks, even though it's at record high, that it's going to go even further.
	He said with credit card debt at record highs, insurance premiums rising across the board, and government debt growing out of control, the U.S. economy can't afford to keep interest rates in restrictive territory much longer.
	He doesn't even mention the election.
	And of course, that's the big driving force.
	That's why Tony and Gerald Salenti were saying last year, oh yeah, they're definitely going to lower the interest rates.
	They want to get that sugar high in there.
	Same thing that Biden has done in terms of selling off the strategic petroleum reserves in order to temporarily bump down the price of gas at the pump.
	And people will look at that and it's like, oh, okay, I was kind of concerned about that, but it's all okay now.
	You know, just like... Trump does the lockdowns and the masks and social distancing, and then Biden comes along and does the mandates and stuff like that, and then they back off, and everybody's like, whoa, well, good, that's all over with now.
	I don't have to worry about it. No, they left all of that usurped power in place.
	That concrete that you're standing in, that they put you in, is getting hard, and they're going to shove you off the pier with a pandemic treaty from the World Health Organization.
	The next time, it'll be one of these deals where, well, this is coming from the World Health Organization.
	The World Health Organization say, we just made a recommendation, you know, like Trump did in 2020.
	We don't have the power to force anybody.
	They just obey us.
	And so it'll be a lot of, you know, I didn't do it.
	Did he do it? No, he didn't do it either.
	I don't know who did this stuff.
	It just happened, I guess.
	I don't know. Nobody did the lockdown.
	We got some guy out there who wrote this, did this documentary thing, not ever talking about Trump, but saying, you know, it wasn't so much Fauci as it was Deborah Birx.
	Look, it was all those people, but she wasn't running.
	She was two or three levels down.
	But let's not talk about the guy who is really at the top.
	Who gave the authority to Fauci.
	Who gave the authority, whatever she had, to Deborah Birx, to the CDC, to the NIH, to all these other people.
	Let's not talk about him.
	Everything that happens while Biden is present is his fault.
	And quite frankly, it is.
	And it was, you know, the fault of the presidents who were in charge all the time, like I talked about yesterday, Hooverville.
	Well, one guy said there were a lot of progressives of both parties who were saying the government can fix the Great Depression and everything.
	It wasn't just Herbert Hoover who was doing it.
	But he got all the blame, and rightfully so, because he was the president.
	And the buck stops with the president, unless you were Donald Trump.
	And if you were Donald Trump, nothing ever happens.
	You know, they used to talk about Ronald Reagan as being the Teflon president.
	I think we ought to start talking about Donald Trump since the MAGA people like to couch him in such religious terms all the time.
	Maybe we should talk about his immaculate perception.
	This guy is perceived to be completely immaculate with all of the stuff that happened in 2020.
	Don't ever blame him.
	It wasn't his fault.
	It was Biden who came after 2020.
	Anyway, getting back to the money.
	If you were the chair of the Fed, you would have to know the impact, the magnitude of the rate increases that you've done in a very short time, the magnitude of the impact that's going to have on the economy.
	Of course, we've never seen interest rates go so quickly, straight up, kicking off a banking crisis that is now being multiplied by the commercial real estate issues.
	So, this shock to the system, It was put in by the Federal Reserve, raising these interest rates, 75 basis points, three quarters of an interest rate at a pop.
	Boom, boom, boom. At the same time, you've got this massive trillion dollars every 100 days, commercial real estate bust that goes back to Trump's lockdown.
	This kind of monetary policy usually breaks something in the economy on a structural level, and you have to play catch up very quickly.
	You certainly wouldn't risk much higher unemployment just to bring housing inflation down a few tenths of a point, for example, he says.
	But since holding support at $2,000 in early February, gold prices have rallied nearly 19%, with prices hitting a new intraday high at $2,372 an ounce on Monday.
	Mentor said there is still significant value in the gold market even after this rally.
	He said regardless of the timing or regardless of the magnitude, the next Fed funds move is going to be a cut.
	And historically...
	That has led to 57% increase in gold prices in 2000, 235% increase in gold prices in 2006, and a 69% gold price increase in 2018.
	He said even with prices up 18%, we ain't seen nothing yet.
	Actually, he said we haven't seen anything yet.
	But anyway, the market... Has finally awakened, says Peter Grosskopf on the gold miners who are rallying on higher metal prices.
	He said the main driver for gold prices will be debt concerns.
	He's more focused on debt than on interest rates.
	See, all of those things look bad.
	There's just too much debt in the world, says Grosskopf.
	Governments have built up these deficits and debt levels to the point where they actually do matter.
	But the sheer size of the U.S. fiscal deficit and whether or not they have control over that is starting to trouble investors.
	You have two choices to get out of this debt predicament.
	One of them is to deflate and to face a financial crisis, which I don't think anybody expects is going to happen.
	The other one is going to be to inflate.
	Because if you create inflation, there's a little bit of a lag time there.
	And you can also create government statistics to hide it.
	People are going to feel it, and then you have people like the commenters on CNN. Well, you know, if you don't count food prices, inflation's not all that bad, actually.
	We all have to eat.
	You should ask yourself why they want to exclude food prices.
	Gold holes is on even in an environment of rising rates, and in a world where deficits and debts are just too big, he said.
	And so, part of what is happening is that China is beefing up their central bank reserves.
	That's one of the things that is boosting it to high levels, says Reuters.
	And the...
	There's an interesting analysis from a writer on RT, who's drawing from a lot of different sources, actually.
	A great wealth transfer is underway.
	How the West lost control of the gold market.
	And it is really what has happened, as I point out, and as Tony has pointed out many times, what is strange about all this is that with these massive increases in interest rates, the gold is basically holding its own.
	And with everything else that they were doing, even with really, really high interest rates, it held its own, which is not what typically happens.
	And it doesn't typically happen that way, because Western institutions would trade based on the interest rates.
	And so what this article from RT is saying is that it's part of the detolarization, that the control is slipping away from the West in terms of these financial issues.
	It says for thousands of years, gold was the ultimate source of store of value, synonymous with the very concept of money.
	Trade was often settled either in gold itself or in bank notes that were backed by gold and directly exchangeable for it.
	Currencies backed by nothing but government decree, called fiat currencies, tend to eventually fail.
	However, in 1971, gold found itself cast out of this ancient role.
	When the U.S. unilaterally suspended dollar convertibility into gold as enshrined in the Bretton Woods Agreement that established the framework for the post-war economy.
	Shortly thereafter, in an act that medieval alchemists only dream of, gold was created out of thin air in the form of futures contracts, meaning that bullion could be bought and sold without any metal changing hands, or even existing.
	Now he's talking about the paper gold.
	And that's something else that Tony and I have frequently talked about.
	The fact that we don't know if the Shanghai Gold Exchange has the goal to back up this paper stuff or not.
	Most likely not. That's what a lot of people are saying.
	There are two important features of how the gold market has subsequently functioned.
	First, gold has essentially been reduced to trading, like any other cyclical financial asset.
	Second, the price of gold has largely been determined by Western institutional investors.
	But both of these long-standing trends are now breaking down.
	The importance of this development is hard to overstate, but let's begin with a very quick examination of how gold went from being the ultimate source of value to just another ticker Moving in predictable patterns and a constellation of financial instruments.
	The collapse of Bretton Woods in the late 60s and early 70s, culminating in the gold window being shut in 1971, was a messy period of transition, uncertainty and instability.
	The dollar devalued and a fixed rate system was negotiated.
	And soon thereafter, abandoned.
	But what was clear was that the US was steering the world away from gold and toward a dollar standard.
	He talks about the recent memoirs of a guy who was president of the Dutch Central Bank, and he was chairman of the Bank of International Settlements.
	This is the central bank of central banks.
	And he was there as the chairman of the Bank of International Settlements from 1967 to 1981.
	So he was there for 14 years.
	And he recalled in his memoirs, he said, gold disappeared as the anchor of monetary stability.
	The road through endless vicissitudes to a new dollar hegemony was paved with many conferences with faithful, shrewd, and sometimes misleading stories.
	With idealistic visions of the future.
	And impressive professorial speeches.
	The ultimate political reality was that the Americans supported or fought any change, depending on whether they saw the dollar's position strengthened or threatened.
	In other words, America had the power and it shoved this through.
	And their own interest, against the interest of everybody else.
	After breaking the $35 per ounce peg in 1971, gold rocketed all the way up to $850 by 1980.
	So the U.S. government had a very strong interest in managing the perception of the dollar through managing gold.
	Most importantly, it didn't want to see gold recreate a pseudo-reserve currency by strengthening substantially.
	Fed Chairman Paul Volcker at the time said, gold is my enemy.
	And indeed, it traditionally has been the enemy of central banks.
	It forced them to tighten rates when they didn't want to, and imposed on them a certain discipline.
	So, the paper gold market that began in the 1980s, you had countless gold derivatives that emerged.
	He says this actually started in 1974, the launch of gold futures trading, but it exploded in the next decade.
	And what happened is that bullion banks began selling paper claims on gold for which there was no actual gold attached.
	You see, whenever they start this derivative stuff, it doesn't matter whether the asset is real or not.
	It could be gold. It could be Bitcoin.
	It could be something as real as real estate.
	And look at what they did to the real estate market.
	Using these real estate derivatives and these securitized mortgage groups.
	They completely wrecked it.
	But they always create these.
	That's why when they started this Bitcoin ETF, it's like, well, why would anybody do that?
	I mean, you know, certainly it can be difficult.
	It can be slow to go through these different cryptocurrency exchanges.
	But... The potential for abuse, for fraud, for manipulation that is brought in whenever you bring in an ETF. Because we've watched this with paper gold ETFs, paper silver ETFs.
	So when they bring it in with Bitcoin, that's a real warning fly.
	Buyers are not actually required to pay up front, but they could simply leave a cash margin.
	It's one of the reasons why people would move to this.
	And the author says, this is reminiscent of the old communist joke that says that we pretend to work and you pretend to pay us.
	In this case, the investor pretended to pay for the gold and the seller pretends to own it.
	And none of them do.
	This is about as close as you can get to pure speculation.
	And that's the problem with all these derivatives.
	It's speculation. It really is a casino where these people are rigging the game.
	Thus was born the fractional reserve paper gold scheme that persists to this day.
	And indeed, there is now vastly more paper gold than there is physical.
	Some 200 to 300 trillion dollars of paper gold assets out there, compared to 11 trillion of what they think is actual gold.
	According to an estimate by Forbes magazine, So think about that.
	It's actually $11 trillion.
	They have inflated this.
	You total up all of the gold ETFs and everything.
	That would mean that they've got to have $200 or $300 trillion worth of gold out there.
	It's not there. It's a fantasy football league, really.
	Others put the discrepancy even higher.
	But nobody really knows.
	Yeah, Forbes is going to be conservative.
	They're going to come in on the conservative side.
	But the point is, nobody knows.
	Again, Tony Ardman and I have talked about this several times.
	This is an excellent article on RT. The creation of a derivative market satisfies demand for gold that would otherwise go to the physical market.
	It's a way for the institutions and central banks to try to control the actual price of the actual gold by creating a fantasy gold market out there.
	And I used to get involved in that until gold started making some moves a few years ago.
	And then the paper gold is not tracking it.
	And so I started looking at, why is that?
	And that's when I realized when I did some investigation.
	Do your own research.
	Yeah, that's why they tell you, don't do your own research on anything.
	You do your own research you find out that yeah, it's it's a fantasy market here Only a limited amount of gold exists that can be mined an unlimited amount of gold derivatives though can be unwritten Underwritten should say when monetary expansion drives demand for gold. There are two ways this demand can be dealt with You need to let the price of gold rise as more dollars chase the same amount of gold or you can permit more paper
	Claims to be created on the same amount of gold which allows the rise of gold to be managed The rise of the paper market has clearly played an important role in defanging gold in its role as exerting a hard limit on expansionary policy And, of course, the same thing is going to be true of Bitcoin.
	It's one of the reasons why they're setting up the Bitcoin ETF, I think.
	I think it is a way to subvert Bitcoin, which they see as their key competitor to a central bank digital currency.
	It allows them to manipulate that in the same way they did with the real estate market.
	Institutional investors have primarily traded gold based on movements in U.S. interest rates, meaning interest rates adjusted for inflation.
	Gold is bought when real rates fall and vice versa.
	The logic is that when interest rates rise, money managers can earn more by switching to bonds or to cash, thus increasing the opportunity cost for holding non-interest bearing assets like gold.
	This correlation has been particularly strong over the last 15 years or so, and many analysts date it back even further than that.
	So let's go a step further and pose the following question.
	If Western institutional money has been driving the price, who has been on the other side of the trade when the actual gold does change hands?
	Western institutions essentially controlled the price of gold and bought from the East in bull markets and sold to the East in bear markets.
	This makes sense because the western side of the trade essentially consisted of investors who, in any asset class, tend to chase the price higher.
	The east, meanwhile, was characterized more by consumer demand.
	So gold flowed from east to west in bull markets and from west to east in bear markets.
	But it was the western institutional investors who were in the driver's seat in this kind of trade.
	And this was the well-established state of affairs up until 2022.
	When the Ukraine proxy war began and the U.S. took the bold step of freezing $300 billion in Russian central bank assets.
	What happened then was that the correlation between the U.S. real rates and gold broke down and it has not been restored.
	The first sign of an impending shift was that in the first few months after the Fed embarked on a sharp rate hike cycle in March of 2022, gold did drop but proved to be more resilient to the rising rates than the correlation models would have suggested.
	But the real breakdown in correlation began around September of that year.
	Because remember, March, that's right after the Russian invasion happened.
	And the sanctions and that type of thing.
	So, already it was starting to have an effect, but really by September, when gold prices actually started climbing, even as real rates remained flat, in fact, from late October 2022 through June 2023, the gold price rose 17%.
	Meanwhile, over 2023, U.S. real rates rose, despite quite a bit of volatility, and Which, according to the old correlation, should have meant a decline in gold prices as higher yields elsewhere would make non-yielding gold less attractive.
	However, gold rose 15% that year.
	This is why when Tony says, you know, they keep playing these games with interest rates and raising interest rates, arbitrarily raising them at a very rapid rate, but it's not affecting gold.
	That's the key thing.
	How strong it's been in the face of this competition from strong interest rates.
	Another notable aspect is that the Western institutional investors have been net sellers of gold as evidenced by declining inventory held by Western exchange traded funds.
	So they're still doing the same thing.
	As interest rates go up, Mark, let's sell our gold and get into these bonds or whatever that are paying a higher interest rate.
	But in 2023, gold ETFs posted net outflows for the year despite the rising gold price.
	So far this year through February, the ETF outflow figure amounted to $5.7 billion, $4.7 billion of which came from North America.
	All this is happening while gold prices have surged to all-time highs.
	So what he's saying is, traditionally in the past, as interest rates go up, the institutions would sell the stuff off, the ETFs would sell it off, they would get into things that were going to pay them the higher interest rates, and that has continued to happen through this in the U.S., in North America, and yet it hasn't affected gold, as it always has in the past.
	This is the thing that's fundamentally changed, and it's predicated off of using the dollar as a weapon.
	So coming into focus is a picture of Western institutional investors responding like Pavlov's dogs to rising interest rates and ditching gold in favor of higher-yielding assets like bonds, stocks, money market funds.
	Normally, like clockwork, this would have driven the price down, but it didn't.
	And the two main reasons are the voracious appetite for physical gold coming from central banks and the extremely strong private sector demand for physical gold from China.
	The central banks, even though you've got the institutions and the ETF funds and everything selling this gold, central banks around the world are just snapping it up.
	So it doesn't cause it.
	The demand is so great, they're taking it.
	So it's not going down.
	As a matter of fact, it's going the other way.
	Estimates that the People's Bank of China bought a record 735 tons of gold in 2023, about two-thirds of which were purchased covertly.
	But again, nobody knows about that, just like they don't know about the paper gold that is just made up.
	But you can look at it and say there's absolutely no way.
	That it is 20 or 30 times more than the known gold assets.
	There are instances in history where events overtake those who are living through them.
	And when change is so profound that most observers lack the mental categories to perceive it.
	In 1936, Carl Jung said, a hurricane has broken loose in Germany while we still believe that it's fine weather.
	The hurricane that is bearing down on the Western world is a debasement of the dollar, owing to the weaponization of the financial system and the spiraling U.S. debt crisis.
	These are apocal developments that will have combined to break the familiar financial world beyond repair.
	The flow of gold from West to East is both a real transfer of wealth, but is also symbolic of how profoundly the West has been underestimating the significance of what is happening.
	And so, as we see, just this last week, Zero Hedge points out China's gold-buying frenzy at Central Bank is sparking chaos in the ETFs.
	The ETF's price had gained over 40% in the past four sessions before falling 10% after trading resumed on Monday.
	For the second time in a week, trading in an ETF that owns gold companies was halted in China overnight.
	And so the question is, where does this take us?
	Well, besides people speculating on what the future value of gold is, I keep coming back to the central bank digital currency issue.
	That is a fundamental necessity for the kind of digital slavery surveillance police state that they want to impose on us.
	And that is still also marching in place.
	In Australia, one tourist, popular tourist island there, Hamilton Island, Has made the controversial move that they will not support any cash use on that island.
	They've gone cashless.
	And it has created a big backlash in Australia.
	Many people threatening to boycott the popular tourist destination.
	Well, we're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we're going to talk a little bit more about what is happening with money and politics, but this time we're going to talk about what is going on with Trump.
	Are they going to start to...
	It looked like everything was solved with this demand for $175 million.
	He got it reduced. But now it's looking like they are going to make a move to actually confiscate his property.
	And what are the implications of that?
	For the election. I think that people see the kind of corruption that's actually happening here.
	We'll be right back.

	And now...
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	And you can walk 500 steps, but not a single step more, until the curfew activates and robot cops stand at your door.
	Oh, yeah.
	you Yeah, well, what about that curfew activating?
	And what about all the people who showed up on January 6th?
	As I pointed out yesterday, RFK Jr.
	had said at the end of the week last week, he said he was talking about Julian Assange and Ed Snowden, how they had not received justice, how he was going to pardon them.
	And he also mentioned how the people who were there on January 6th had been, quote, stripped of their constitutional liberties.
	And then his radical left supporters got a hold of him.
	Four hours later, his campaign press secretary said, that doesn't reflect Mr.
	Kennedy's views. That was the work of a marketing firm that we hired.
	They have now been fired by the campaign because they inserted the stuff about the January of the Sixth people.
	And then as the RFK Jr.
	and his staff wet their finger and stuck it in the air again, they realized, well, maybe we went a little bit too far on that.
	I mean, the guy is just flip-flopping back and forth like, I don't know, Trump or Biden.
	These people have no principles whatsoever.
	They'll tell you whatever they want to get elected.
	And so now he's taking another position with us.
	He came back out and he said, quote, I am concerned about the possibility that political objectives motivated the vigor of the prosecution of the January 6th defendants and their long sentences and their harsh treatment.
	If elected, I will appoint a special prosecutor to investigate whether powers were abused for political advantage and to right any wrongs that are found.
	Well, great. We'll see if he would do that if he got elected.
	But anyway, he also gingerly questioned the notion that January the 6th represented an insurrection.
	Look, we all know that this is political.
	We all know that it was a heavily politicized Department of Justice.
	It is...
	It's absolute tyranny. It's an abomination to see this type of stuff happening.
	But, of course, Trump could have prevented all of this before he left.
	He had another two weeks before he got out of office.
	He could have pardoned the people.
	If you don't believe me, believe Roger Stone, who at the time was so angry that he was spitting cuss words on the phone as he was being filmed by documentary people about what he was going to do to Trump and the family if they didn't, because they were just letting everybody hang out to dry.
	So he could have prevented all of this suffering, Trump could have, and several suicides.
	You know, it kind of reminds me, when you see this stuff happening, Jim Jones and his Kool-Aid cult, right?
	Well, you got Alex Jones and his Kool-Aid cult telling, literally telling people in 2020, oh yeah, it's just sugar water, you can take that.
	I've told many people this, and they don't believe me.
	What? What? No, really?
	No, really? I've played the clip over and over again.
	But yeah, that's just basically sugar water.
	You can do that. You know, it's 40 chests.
	He's got a different vaccine than Bill Gates and the World Health Organization does.
	It's all fine. And yet this guy, you know, just inject the sugar water.
	It's fine, said Alex Jones.
	We all knew it was poison.
	And now, even after they come out and say that the jab is poison, They tell you to support the guy who created the poison.
	The guy who's still telling you to inject the poison.
	Donald Trump. It's absolutely amazing to me.
	Continue to tell people to take it.
	This is not just Alex, this is all of the big conservative media.
	This is Breitbart, this World Net Daily, this Daily Caller.
	It's like everybody, everybody who's on the conservative side of this stuff.
	As a matter of fact, I gotta say, you know, yesterday I talked to The constitutional sheriffs and peace officers, and I like the work that Sheriff Mack does, and I've always supported him talking to sheriffs about their constitutional duty.
	And so there's a convention coming up, and they called me to talk about that, and they were very kind to offer to have me come out there.
	And I said, no, I can't do that.
	I get this show on a daily basis, but I'd be happy to, you know...
	Tell people about the convention.
	And so, not Sheriff Mack, but the person who's putting it together started telling me about it.
	And it's got Steve Bannon.
	It's got General Flynn.
	And you get the idea.
	I mean, it's turning into a reawaken America thing.
	And I'm just not going to do that.
	I'm not going to ally myself with these people who are pushing a mass murderer who overthrew the Constitution with medical martial law.
	I'm not going to push somebody like that.
	This is a constitutional issue.
	They should understand this.
	They're actually on the side of a lot of law enforcement officers who said, I'm not going to obey that unconstitutional order.
	And I've talked about that many times.
	Well, where did that unconstitutional order come from?
	It came from Trump. And you're going to have these people like Michael Flynn and Steve Bannon who are out there lying to people, deceiving people to this day?
	And coming up with their phony version of the Christian religion and trying to portray that to the world as if that's real Christianity?
	When they're leading prayers to ascended masters that they have plagiarized from Elizabeth Clare Prophet?
	That's what Flynn has done. Flynn was pushing the transgender issue back in 2014 with Chris Beck.
	At that point in time, I hadn't even really heard of it.
	I heard of it, and I thought, oh, let's not focus on that.
	That's in the weeds. That's a sensational clickbait thing.
	It was forming right then, and you had Flynn pushing it with that Navy SEAL Crisbeck.
	You know, honoring it, pushing it there in the Pentagon.
	I'll have nothing to do with these people, and you should not have anything to do with them either.
	They're liars. They're deceivers.
	They overthrew the Constitution.
	They're still overthrowing the Constitution.
	And they committed mass murder in the process.
	And then on the other side, you've got Letitia James and her thugs at the Department of Justice and the thugs at the FBI. Just as bad in a different way.
	I mean, they've done a lot of this other stuff and they're now using this as open political persecution.
	This is actually going to...
	It is so clear that this is baseless political persecution of Trump that it is actually helping him.
	And that gets me angry too.
	I don't like to see legal due process suspended.
	And I don't like to see it done in this kind of political calculation either.
	So you've got this situation where he was successful in getting an appeals court to drop it from the $454 million fine plus like another 10% or something.
	It was going to be over $500 million he had to come up with.
	He was successful at getting that dropped.
	And they had gone around.
	They said, it's impossible for us to meet this.
	And we've talked to 30 different insurance companies, bond insurance companies for this.
	And we can't get this done.
	They dropped it. They won on that issue.
	And then the story was, was that this guy who does subprime car loans...
	And is now a Trump supporter, a billionaire in his own right.
	But he had an insurance company, and so Donald Trump had the 170, this is the story that we heard two weeks ago.
	After this stuff came out, he said, you know, Trump, I've got the 175 million, but he's going to give it to this guy, and then this guy is going to use that to put up the bond.
	And I thought, well, why didn't Trump just do it?
	Well, it turns out that there was something about saving some money on interest or something like that, which would be really significant when you're talking about that amount of money.
	And so he ran it through this other company.
	Now, you have...
	And then I reported...
	That as the New York officials looked at it, they are so focused on getting Trump.
	It's very much like, you know, when you have to go through and you've got to collect the signatures to get on the ballot, and they say, well, we're not going to throw these out, you know, and all that type of stuff.
	So they look at it and they say, well, your paperwork's not complete.
	And I said, well... That certainly sounds like an excuse, but it could be true if you look at Trump's lawyer, Alina Habba.
	I mean, she is a piece of work that doesn't seem to know what is happening here.
	So I thought, well, maybe she did mess up the paperwork there.
	But a New York court has rejected the paperwork, says that it wants to see more information on its financial backing, and so the company filed new paperwork on April 4th.
	She forgot to give them a financial statement.
	So this could be the fault of Trump's lawyer, or it could be this is just rabid political persecution.
	It'll be taken by Trump's supporters, of course, as political persecution, regardless of what it truly is.
	Writing on X, a one-time federal prosecutor wrote that this insurance company that belongs to the Billionaire who does subprime loans.
	It's called night specialty.
	No relation. Might not be able to post the bond for Trump and will be liable for the full amount because it had given a guarantee to the court.
	See, this is where it starts getting really crooked.
	Looks like there's a real possibility that this Don Henke-owned Knight Specialty Insurance does not itself have liquidity.
	And did not get from Trump collateral sufficient to provide legally cognizable assurance that he can pay $175 million on demand in the event of a judgment affirming appeal.
	Thus, New York Attorney General James looks to be soon green-lit to execute on her $450 million judgment against Trump as if Trump had posted no bond.
	Again, this is clearly political persecution, and it may be mixed in with legal malpractice on the part of his lawyer.
	But somebody's lying.
	Maybe both sides are lying about this stuff.
	The Trumpian part of it, she said, is that even though, or perhaps because, it may be part of a Trump scam, Knight now, too, may be on the hook for $175 million, as it won't automatically get out from underneath its own preferred security.
	So, what they're saying is that they may ignore this bond, even though they put the money up.
	And they may confiscate that money and Trump's property.
	That's what I'm saying. This looks like political persecution in terms of this.
	There may be other issues that are there, but clearly that is the way this is going to come across.
	So, again, the bond was rejected by the court's filing system shortly after it was posted due to missing paperwork.
	And part of the missing paperwork was not having a current financial statement.
	How in the world does that happen?
	We'll be right back. The Common Man.
	They created common core to dumb down our children.
	They created common past to track and control us.
	Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing.
	And the communist future.
	They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
	But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
	That is what we have in common.
	That is what they want to take away.
	Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
	They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
	It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.

	If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers.
	TheDavidKnightShow.com A rock fan, we have Thomas Falco.
	Thank you for the tip. He says, David, yesterday he spoke of insurance companies surveying properties by drone.
	I have been with Nationwide Insurance since building my home in 2004.
	I received notice from them stating that I need a new roof.
	I called my insurance agent, who explained that Nationwide now uses drones for property inspections.
	I asked Carl to quote me a rate with another carrier.
	He did, and I saved about 10%.
	That's amazing, isn't it?
	I mean, they will stop at nothing.
	Just like the surveillance in the cars.
	Snitching on people. Oh, well, you know, we're going to double your insurance rate.
	Why is that? I haven't had any tickets.
	I haven't had any accidents. Well, we have this stuff in your car, you know, on Star.
	And it's measuring how fast you brake and how fast you accelerate and how fast you take turns and things like that.
	So we don't like the way you drive.
	So we're going to go up or we're going to cancel your insurance, that type of thing.
	It's never enough for these people, is it?
	The same thing happens with these insurance companies that happens with the ultra-rich billionaires.
	It's never enough. They always want a little bit more.
	And that has always been the case.
	Going back to John D. Rockefeller, it's the case with all these billionaires that are out there now.
	I don't see Elon Musk or Donald Trump as a savior because they are a part of all of that.
	We were just talking about the money aspect of this.
	Why U.S. public debt is unsustainable.
	And why it is destroying the middle class.
	And this is on Zero Hedge by Daniel LaColla.
	He said, you know, recently saw a tweet from someone, he doesn't name them, a talented, he said, financial analyst and investor.
	He said, well, this whole debt is unsustainable narrative.
	That's been around for 40 years plus.
	What's astonishing to me is how the people who push this narrative never ask themselves, why has it been sustainable for so long?
	Yeah, you keep saying everything is going to crash in you.
	Look at this. Everything is still fine.
	And now we're running up the debt, a trillion dollars every 100 days.
	What's the problem with that?
	Yeah, that's no problem.
	This is one of the reasons why I think a lot of these people who know better, should know better, are buying into this modern monetary theory.
	Oh, the deficit doesn't matter at all.
	Okay, then fine. Let's get rid of the income tax then.
	Why are you doing the income tax now?
	If you really don't believe that the public debt matters because the income tax doesn't come close to Close to paying it.
	It's not 100% of what they take in.
	It's less than 50%, I believe, of what their total revenue mix is.
	So why bother with that if the debt doesn't matter?
	Just let the debt go up a little bit faster.
	I mean, look at how it's exploded.
	So just stop taxing us.
	No, they're not going to do that.
	And when you look at where this stuff all began...
	This multi-trillion dollar increase in the deficit every single year, that all began, of course, with Trump and his lockdowns, with the CARES Act, with the PPP Act, and with the stimulus checks, which were universal basic income training.
	It began with all that. So this person says, well, actually, he said, you look at the situation in Argentina.
	Look at the massive inflation that they're having there.
	Because of the public debt and all the rest of that.
	He said, and yet Argentina is still there, isn't it?
	But it is a problem.
	What does it look like?
	He said, there's widespread idea that fiscal imbalances of a world reserve currency issuer would end in an Argentina-style bankruptcy.
	However, the manifestation of unsustainability didn't even appear as drastic in Argentina itself.
	Hey, Argentina is still there.
	But he says excessive public debt is unsustainable when it becomes a burden on productive growth.
	And when it leads the economy to constantly rising taxes and weaker productivity growth and weaker real wage growth.
	In other words, we're all getting poorer.
	And we can tell this.
	We can see it with the inflation, the loss in purchasing power.
	That is what is not being sustained.
	Yeah, America is still here, and unfortunately so is the federal government, but our purchasing power is not here.
	He says, many diabetic and obese people continue to eat too much unhealthy food, thinking nothing has happened so far.
	So far, so good. It's like the guy who falls off of the skyscraper.
	He gets to the 20th floor.
	So far, so good. Not a problem yet.
	It doesn't mean the eating habits are sustainable.
	It doesn't mean he isn't going to hit the ground.
	Those who ignore the accumulation of public debt tend to do so under the idea that nothing has happened yet.
	This is a reckless way of looking at the economy.
	It's sort of, well, we haven't died yet, so let's accelerate mentality.
	An ever weaker private sector, weak real wages, declining productivity growth, the currencies diminishing purchasing power, all these indicate the unsustainability of debt levels.
	It becomes increasingly difficult for families and small businesses to make ends meet and to pay for essential goods and services.
	And, you know, you go back and look at what does this look like in Argentina?
	Well, it looks like people who started businesses having to close them because they can't afford to keep it going.
	It looks like massive unemployment.
	It looks like a younger generation that has absolutely no opportunities.
	It looks like despair.
	That's what it looks like.
	And, you know, Trump kicked this up to a whole new level and Biden has kept it there and increased it marginally himself.
	When the fiscal position is unsustainable, the only way for the state to force the acceptance of his debt is through coercion and through repression.
	Hence, folks, the army of 87,000 IRS agents is on this way.
	The state basically conducts a process of slow default on the economy through rising taxes and weakening the purchasing power of the currency, which leads to weaker growth and erosion of the middle class, the captive hostages of the government fiat currency.
	Of course, as a currency issuer, the state never acknowledges its imbalances.
	It always blames inflation and weak growth on the private sector, the exporters, other nations and markets.
	And so, when you look at the pandemic, when you look at the lockdown, it has tremendous consequences that we're still feeling, just like the Trump-created injections.
	They're still killing people.
	We're in the stage now where what was surprising about it was how many people died right off the bat.
	More than all the previous records combined.
	And it rapidly got to that level.
	And then they basically stopped letting people talk about it without getting purged.
	And yet, just like the increase in people of all ages getting cancer and the rapidity with which the cancer progresses and all the rest of this stuff, or the continuing sudden deaths from myocarditis and pericarditis and other things like that, the blood clots, and all of this, it's continuing.
	And the same thing is happening with it financially as well.
	But I want to go back to the mandates.
	And this is one of the things that really should stick in people's craw.
	And as soon as you start talking about 2020, the conservatives will immediately jump to Biden's mandates.
	And the only ones that he really mandated, if you want to use the logic of the Trump apologists, the only ones that he really mandated were the military.
	The rest of them be incentivized.
	He said, well, you do business with the government, and if you want to continue to do business with the government, you'll do what we tell you.
	Otherwise, you're free to go.
	So if you're a hospital and you've gotten used to this gravy train that Trump put you on in 2020, we're going to take you off that gravy train, and we're going to kill all your Medicare money as well, unless you vaccinate all your medical personnel.
	But when it came to the military, he actually issued that order.
	But as Jason Barker pointed out, Jason Barker was fighting this when he was in the military, and he knew that Trump had already put in the order, and I've shown you the order, the executive order, that Trump is going to do exactly the same thing at exactly the same time that Biden did it.
	They were both going to mandate it as soon as it was rubber-stamped by the FDA, skipping all of their established procedures and To validate a vaccine.
	Just going to, at some point in time, say, all right, we've waited long enough, we're just going to say it's good.
	And that's what they did. And I said, in December of 2020, I said, that will happen in September of 2021.
	And it did. And I knew that because that was going to be when everybody was going to go back to school.
	I knew that would be a part of the mix.
	And so, all of this stuff was there.
	Now, I want you to see this.
	This is a military guy who is...
	This is a video that is now just resurfaced.
	And the military goes in.
	There's a guy who is in jail.
	His name is Lance Castle.
	He was dubbed to be an insider threat.
	He was given 60 days...
	Pre-trial confinement that caused him to miss the birth of his firstborn child.
	And then sent to a court-martial to stand trial on five charges.
	Now they're getting ready to go into his cell here.
	And look at this. They've got like five or six different guys all lined up, ready to go in to attack him.
	Are you choosing to be non-compliant?
	Here they go. Five guys.
	Six, if you've got the guy that opened up the door.
	Here comes the number six.
	And they pin him to the ground.
	Yeah, this is the kind of treatment he got.
	He was dubbed an insider threat given 60 days in court.
	And this is coming from Mark Charles Bashaw, a medical professional who was the first man convicted in a special court-martial in May of 2022 for violating orders to comply with COVID-19 mitigation measures.
	Bashaw is a father of three.
	He was also found guilty of failing to wear a mask indoors.
	He continues to expose the truth about the military COVID mandates that ruined thousands of people's lives, injured hundreds of soldiers and sailors and Marines.
	And I tell you, when you look at this, it's just infuriating to see the treatment that people who had legitimate concerns about having this, constitutional concerns, religious liberty concerns, whatever the concerns are, That they would be forced to have this vaccine.
	And you know, this is an article that was on Gateway Pundit.
	Gateway Pundit will tell you all about this trial and all the rest of this stuff because this is where they want to hang out.
	So that you don't look at Trump's involvement in this.
	And yet Trump had already done the executive order for the military to do precisely this.
	He was prepared to do it and would have done it.
	They're a couple of clowns.
	It is professional wrestling to try to decide between the two of them.
	You need to stop looking to the presidency to solve your problems.
	You need to start looking at other ways to protect yourself and your family.
	Because neither Trump or Biden are going to do it.
	You know, as Bannon was saying, talking to the Chinese people about how they were going to...
	Yeah, we got this vote-by-mail thing, and we're going to claim that we won one way or the other, and when Trump gets back in, Trump is going to be off the chain, said Bannon.
	He is going to not have to care about what anybody thinks.
	He's not going to be up for another election.
	He will be off the chain.
	That's my concern.
	That both Trump and Biden, both of them, either of them, will be off the chain.
	The second term of a president is always the worst.
	They're off the chain. And that's what we're going to win.
	That's what we're going to get regardless of which one of these clowns wins.
	So we're going to take a quick break.
	By the way, When he finally did get his procedure there, Lance Castle was found not guilty of all five charges that they brought against him and imprisoned him for two months.
	We're going to be right back.

	Let's talk a little bit about what is happening in terms of Trump's changing position on abortion.
	Actually, he got it right at this point in time, but who knows what it's going to be next week.
	You know, these people, just like RFK Jr.
	on January 6th, people.
	He's for him. He's against him.
	Well, let's try to negotiate something in the middle.
	Just like RFK Jr., who knows what Trump is going to do.
	Babylon B., Trump says his position on abortion is whichever one will get him elected.
	Trump deftly maneuvered himself into a position to simultaneously woo voters who will never support him and to alienate portions of his most loyal base.
	My stance can't be any clearer, he said.
	I am in complete and total agreement with each voter, whatever their individual view may be.
	If you believe abortion is murder, so do I. If you think there are cases in which it is acceptable, so do I. If you think there's nothing wrong with it, neither do I. As everyone can see, I feel very strongly about this issue.
	Strong convictions, the strongest, so strong.
	I'm becoming all things to all people, so that by all means, I may get elected.
	MAGA. And by publishing times, says Babylon Bee, all disappointed Trump supporters had announced that they would all still vote for Trump.
	Yes, he will do this.
	And in this particular case, he stumbled into the right position momentarily.
	But who knows what it'll be next week.
	This may or may not last through the election.
	And then if he gets elected, what will his position be?
	Who knows? Trump says abortion should be decided by the states.
	That's absolutely right.
	And that's a new position for him.
	He says, by the will of the people.
	No, actually, it's because the Constitution says so.
	And the Supreme Court finally acknowledged that, that the Supreme Court has no authority to determine when life begins.
	That is not something that is a purview of the federal government.
	That belongs at the states.
	Trump said, my view, this is him actually talking now, this is not the Babylon Bee, but it might as well be, My view is states will determine by legislation or vote, or perhaps both, and whatever they decide must be the law of the land.
	Every time we talk about abortion, we've got to use that catchphrase, don't we?
	Law of the land. Give me a break.
	In this case, the law of the state, he said.
	Many states will be different.
	Many will have a different number of weeks, or some will have more conservative than others, and that's what they will be.
	At the end of the day, this is all about the will of the people.
	It's all about me getting elected at the end of the day.
	In other words, you must follow your heart.
	The heart is desperately wicked.
	Who can know it? This is Disney theology.
	Follow your heart. Follow your heart straight to hell because that's where it's going to lead you.
	It is desperately deceitful.
	You can't know what your own heart is doing.
	Anyway, last week, Trump told reporters in the Michigan campaign stop that he would make a statement in the coming week after he was asked about Florida's controversial six-week abortion ban.
	Too harsh, too harsh, too sanctimonious, right?
	That's what he's always been saying.
	But as Reason pointed out, he's embracing a federalist approach to abortion.
	No, actually, it's a constitutional approach because it's a Tenth Amendment approach.
	It's not federalism. It's not a new policy.
	It's what's in the Constitution.
	In the Tenth Amendment, it says the powers that have been expressly delegated to the federal government are theirs.
	But if it hasn't been expressly delegated to the federal government, Those powers are retained by the states and by the people.
	There is nothing that gives anyone in the federal government, not the executive branch, not the legislative branch, not the judicial branch, the authority to make this kind of decision, just as they don't have the authority to make a decision about what the definition of marriage is or what the definition of a woman is or anything else.
	That is not the purview of the federal government.
	And so...
	Reason Magazine talks about, you know, certainly there's a political basis for doing this.
	By ruling out the federal abortion restrictions, Trump has provoked criticism from pro-life activists who favor a national ban.
	But those activists will never support Biden anyway.
	That's why Trump is able to do this.
	That's why the Babylon Bee said.
	But these people are still going to vote for him.
	They'll never support Biden, who not only views the 2022 reversal of Roe v.
	Wade as a grave injustice, but he favors legislation that would reestablish a federal right to abortion.
	During a Meet the Press interview last September, Trump, who once described himself as pro-choice, that's right, this guy was a New York Democrat.
	He was pro-abortion, pro-gun control, pro-Jeffrey Epstein and all the rest of this stuff, pro-trannies in beauty contests.
	He was a Hillary Clinton Democrat.
	Until he decided that he could snooker the MAGA crowd.
	And he did. You know, he got a bunch of people who never paid attention to politics before.
	But they watched The Apprentice.
	And they wanted him for president.
	Lindsey Graham jumps in.
	And Lindsey Graham has led a lot of this pack to say that we want to put this back at the federal level again.
	Why? Well, because they want that wedge issue.
	They've always wanted that wedge issue.
	They never wanted to end abortion.
	They wanted to keep it. And so he wants it back as a federal issue.
	And to put it at 15 weeks, which is worse than France, for example.
	Where does he come up with that magic number?
	Why does Lindsey Graham get to decide this?
	Lindsey Graham doesn't even play the game.
	So it's just, he says, well, it's the 14th Amendment.
	No, it's not. This is a guy who, he doesn't know or care anything about the Constitution.
	He's never met a war that he doesn't want, so he's fine with killing babies, too, and kill people at any age with his wars.
	Many of Graham's fellow Republicans were dismayed by his attempt to re-nationalize the abortion issue.
	Senator Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia said, I don't think there's an appetite for a national platform here.
	I'm not sure what Graham is thinking, but I don't think there will be a rally around that concept.
	Look, the reality is that even for the people who are pro-life, they need to understand the practical aspects of this.
	As I've pointed out, in my opinion, what will happen is if you've got Republicans who come in and set a limit and say it's going to be 15 weeks now, well, you've got a lot of states where it's much lower than that.
	So that's going to actually kill more people.
	The people out there who say, well, we're pro-life and we want to stop it and save as many lives as we want.
	Well, then keep it low in the states that are going to fight abortion.
	Because if you raise it, then what is going to happen is you're going to have more people killed in these states where they are currently stopping it.
	And then when the Democrats get in, they'll remove the restrictions altogether.
	And you'll be able to kill babies all the way up to and beyond birth.
	And the Republicans will go along with it.
	If the Republicans come in with a 15-week limit or a 12-week limit or a 25-week limit or whatever arbitrary number they decide, however they want to split the baby, that's what they're doing, a lot of the Democrat states won't go along with it.
	They'll say, no, we're going to do all 36 weeks.
	So they'll ignore it. They'll nullify it.
	And, of course, there is no federal authority to make that happen, so they will be able to nullify it, just like they nullify the unconstitutional prohibition about marijuana and other drugs.
	And then yet when they get in and they say, well, we're not going to cap it at 15 weeks.
	We're going to take it all 36 weeks.
	All the Republican states will go along with that.
	You know that's going to happen.
	They will refuse to comply with a reduction, and then the Republicans will comply once it is taken up to the top level.
	Now, Mike Pence, Mr.
	Constitution himself, remember, I'm not going to weigh in on this, and he was right about that, about January 6th.
	I have no authority on the Constitution to get involved in this January 6th dispute.
	He was right. But now he's coming in and saying, well, we've got to, this is a slap in the face.
	For Trump to say that he's going to leave this at the States.
	How is that a slap in the face?
	Pence is nothing but a demagogue who is wrong on most issues, including war, including abortion, pretty much every other issue as well.
	And beyond this, what Pence represents, and a lot of these people represent, is the fact that conservatives...
	Have now joined the Democrats to believe that every problem should be solved by government and by government at the federal level.
	Everything needs to be a federal case.
	And that's what he really represents.
	And that is what is so dangerous.
	The fact that now everybody wants all power in Washington and they don't want to have It's massive power in Washington.
	As a matter of fact, it was also a Reason article talking about how the presidency became culture warrior in chief.
	The modern presidency is a divider.
	It can't be anything else.
	It's become far too powerful.
	We put all power in one basket so that everybody fights over that basket.
	And this is just another example.
	Let's put the abortion pro-life issue, let's put that in that basket.
	Biden said we've got to end this on civil war.
	Unity is a path forward.
	Well, again, we hear that kind of rhetoric from all of them.
	As I point out, we will have a civil war.
	As long as we keep concentrating all power into the presidency.
	That's the real issue.
	And that's why when you look at this, if you feel really strongly about this, you want to fight me about who's going to be president.
	Well, the problem is that you think too much, too highly of the federal government.
	The problem is that you don't want to have any control over your life at the local level.
	You'd rather entertain this fantasy that some billionaire savior is going to save you from the boogeyman in Washington when they're all the boogeymen.
	So we're not going to have a glide path to national unities.
	I was talking about the fundraising, for example.
	When you look at how much money is going in, that's a real metric of corruption.
	$100 million for George Bush, and he's accused of buying the election by Gore, who had $70 million in 2000.
	And yet, where are we now? You know, when Obama ran, he got over $700 million.
	He got more than 10 times what Gore had gotten.
	It's a measure of corruption.
	Because why is that money, why are people spending that kind of money?
	Because they're expecting something back from that.
	If they're spending a billion dollars in the presidency, they're expecting a hundred billion back from We're good to
	go. Because people know they can get anything given to them with this fiat currency.
	It's print the money out of thin air.
	So you got a New Jersey Senate candidate, a greenie, green party.
	She deleted a post after she blamed the climate crisis for the earthquake around New York.
	Everything. Everything.
	They had, as always happens, these sheer cliffs that they have in California where they have houses that are sliding off and they have part of the Big Sur Highway collapsed yet again.
	This happens on a regular basis and they have to close the highway.
	It's right up to the edge of this sheer cliff and it's constantly eroding.
	And they all came out and said, oh, it's climate change.
	She says it's about an earthquake.
	She's running for state senate in New Jersey.
	By the way, that was one of the things that always bothered me that the Libertarian Party never focused on state offices.
	They were always focused, again, on the presidency.
	To retain ballot access.
	It was all about ballot access and retention of ballot access.
	It would always be about the presidency or the governorship, but they wouldn't get people in at the grassroots level.
	It was a fatal mistake.
	And this is why it is a fatal mistake for us to focus all of our thoughts and activities on this presidential race.
	It's a mistake for us to focus everything on politics in general.
	I mean, we need to be making preparations for our individual lives, prepping and other things like that.
	But if we're going to get into politics, the first thing you do is at the local level.
	Soros knows that.
	Elon Musk knows that.
	We ought to listen to them.
	They really know what they're doing. She said, I experienced my first earthquake in New Jersey.
	We never get earthquakes.
	The climate crisis is real, she said.
	People came back and said she skipped science class.
	Another person said she probably thinks that Guam is going to flip over to you.
	Remember that? Hank Johnson, back in 2010, the congressman, who said after they sent 8,000 Marines to Guam, he goes, you're going to put so many Marines on there, you're going to flip the island over.
	Yeah, we really do have people that stupid in Congress.
	They make sure of that.
	So, it's not that far off of what these alarmists are saying today when you look at this.
	So, we're talking about islands.
	Again, I mentioned at the beginning of the program, Hawaii has a lawsuit against all the oil companies.
	They're using the same strategy that Democrats have been trying to use and have used against gun manufacturers.
	To say that if somebody's killed with your gun, we need to sue you out of existence.
	It's like, well, they abuse that, just like somebody running people down deliberately with a car abuse people.
	You don't need to ban Ford SUVs because somebody is to kill people in a parade.
	And so that type of logic, they still use that against, even though there's specific prohibitions against using that against gun manufacturers, the Democrats still do it.
	And in Hawaii, they have a lawsuit which has been greenlit by the Hawaiian Supreme Court to go ahead and proceed.
	And of course, if it does proceed, it'll probably eventually go to the Supreme Court because you know the people in Hawaii are Democrat enough that they're going to approve this.
	They're suing the oil companies.
	They want to put the oil companies out of business.
	And so Hawaii wants to get a massive judgment.
	Shake them down, steal their money, put them out of business.
	And so you now have even the people in the military are talking about how dangerous this is.
	But before we get to the Hawaiian thing, these climate alarmists have been telling us that a lot of these islands are going to just disappear anyway.
	Amount of land that is equivalent to the size of the Isle of Light has now been added to the shorelines of 13,000 islands around the world in just the last 20 years.
	We had people like Al Gore telling us they were all going to disappear.
	369 square kilometer increase recently discovered by a group of Chinese scientists analyzing both surface and satellite records.
	Overall land was lost during the 1990s, but the scientists found that the study period of three decades to 2020, there was a net increase of 157 square kilometers.
	The study observed considerable nature variation in terms of both erosion and other aspects of it, but scientists said their data suggested that sea level rise has not been a widespread cause of erosion for island shorelines.
	Well, we knew that, didn't we?
	And yet, Hawaii, maybe they're thinking that they're going to go underwater.
	They'll probably go underwater financially, since they're run by Democrats.
	But they want energy companies to pay climate damages to them.
	I wonder what damages those would be.
	And you have a former general and a former admiral, people who used to be one of them, well, both of them actually used to be at one point in time chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said in a legal brief, they said that oil and gas products are critical to the national security economy, stability and military preparedness.
	Of course, they are retired.
	The current idiots there at the Pentagon are telling us that our number one security issue is climate change.
	That's the number one thing for the military to address.
	So I guess they're not worried about the massive use of fuel by rockets and planes.
	They're not worried about the bombs that are dropped.
	They're not even worried about thermonuclear war.
	Not that kind of climate change.
	They're not worried at all about that.
	No, they're worried about your SUV. Yeah, if anybody can change the climate, it's these guys with their thousands of nuclear warheads.
	So this is something that looks like it's going to take it to the Supreme Court.
	And maybe these briefs from these former chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, maybe that'll help.
	To bring some sanity to this process, because what happens to our lives clearly doesn't matter to these people.
	The only thing that matters to them is what they define as national security.
	They want to have that oil to fly their planes and run their ships and all the rest of the stuff, and they don't want that cut off.
	So they probably still won't do anything to keep them from cutting off our cars.
	They'll just make sure they get what they need for their stuff.
	Because the EPA emissions standard, as Christian Lord says, defy reality.
	Boy, that's putting it mildly, isn't it?
	Let's just call it pure Bolshevik.
	Let's not pretend.
	And they go through this article.
	This is one of the things that really annoys me about people who oppose the EPA. They don't oppose the EPA. They don't oppose these draconian statues except to say, well, there's other things that are generating the imaginary climate change.
	No, you need to say that there's absolutely no evidence of any of this, because there is no evidence for any of it.
	As a matter of fact, a new paper that's been put out by a 2022 Nobel Physics laureate, Dr.
	John Clouser, said, I assert there is no connection whatsoever between climate change and CO2. It's all a crock of crap, in my opinion.
	Good. Finally, say it.
	Say it out loud. Don't play this game.
	Well, you know, there's other things that emit more CO2, and how many tons of carbon does this person generate and that person generate, and are they being hypocritical about this?
	Because we all know how important your carbon usage is.
	Don't play that game.
	Now, that's even worse than calling yourself a red state.
	Another one of my pet peeves.
	Don't play their games.
	They come up with these fantasies and then you try to operate within that.
	That's a loss.
	He said there is no discernible connection.
	It's non-discernible.
	And I've talked about this. The total amount of CO2, 0.04% of the atmosphere.
	And then a small amount of that is done by humans.
	A very small percent. Another small percentage of so-called human production of CO2. It's automobiles and things like that.
	That turns out to 2.5 ten thousandths of a percent.
	In other words, it's non-discernable.
	It has absolutely no effect.
	And I'm glad that there's somebody who is a scientist who isn't going to play those games.
	The conservative, so-called conservative reporters who work for the Epoch Times and other places, they need to stop playing those games.
	We've got some comments on Rumble.
	N-Mac says, Trump set the Clintons in the front row of his wedding to show them off.
	That's right. Yeah, he paid them to be there, he said.
	He's impressed with power and money.
	He hates the common folk.
	I really do agree.
	On Rumble, Billy the Kid Part 2, Greta Thunberg needs to set sail again to save the planet.
	Please, Greta, hurry up.
	And also on Rumble, RebelSun1 says the climate changed four times last year.
	Yeah, that's the hippy-dippy weatherman who explained that to us.
	It used to be, it got really cold and it got really nice, and then it got really, really hot, and then it got really nice again, and now it looks like it's going to repeat all this stuff all over again.
	There was, in London, this one was actually caught on video, another one of these e-bikes exploded, and here's the video that was caught of this e-bike bursting into flames in a London train station.
	It had been bought only four months before in an online marketplace.
	There you go. Look at that.
	People saw it start to smoke and they headed for the hills.
	Nobody was hurt. Fortunately, it blew up in a place where there's a brick wall, concrete floor, steel crane next to it.
	And it's still going there.
	Yeah. According to London Fire Brigade, the e-bike and the e-scooter fires are the fastest growing fire trend in London.
	Footage shows the stationary bike starting to smoke and then burst into flames, scattering pieces all over the platform.
	Comes after a series of these.
	And of course, in New York City, they've had a lot of these fires.
	New York Fire Department says e-bikes are responsible for 267 fires in the city in 2023, killing 18 people.
	Causing 150 injuries.
	Fatalities increased 200%, threefold compared to the previous year.
	Yeah, that's what it looks like right there.
	Well, I want to remind everybody, if you will, please like the stream.
	That helps us with visibility, which we really do need.
	And just want to remind people again, we talked before about gold and the issues that are there.
	Go to davidknight.gold.
	That'll take you to Tony Arterbin.
	You can put in orders with Tony for any amount of gold, small or large.
	He can get that reserved for you.
	And if you want to set up, he's got a buyer's group that is set up so you can accumulate it on a regular basis and get a group buy discount with that as well.
	That is Wolfpack.
	And so he's got all that set up, down even to a kid's version of Wolfpack.
	Go to DavidKnight.Gold.
	That'll take you to Tony Aardman's Wise Wolf Gold.
	Let him know that you're coming from us.
	And I've just got one more article here to talk about before we take a break.
	Do we have Joel Skousen?
	Okay. We're still getting Joel here.
	No roads for you.
	A major U.S. city is going to slap drivers with a massive toll in order to cut traffic.
	Now, this is the congestion tolling that is coming into New York City.
	First time it's coming to the United States.
	They've been using this in London and other places in Europe to charge you every time you come into the city.
	And, you know, toll roads are a real pet peeve for me, quite frankly.
	I really hated them in Texas.
	We had them introduced in North Carolina by Tom Tillis.
	Going back to, you know, 2008, everybody voted for, you know, not everybody, but, you know, Barack Obama won in North Carolina.
	And yet, two years later, there was enough voter remorse That they put Republicans in everywhere, at the top of the state government, all the way down to the statehouse.
	And so they had everything changed except for Congress, because that is all dependent on the gerrymandering.
	And once they had control of the statehouse, that's when Tom Tillis just came out of nowhere.
	You know, kind of like Speaker Johnson coming out of nowhere.
	It's like, who's this guy? I had a really good guy, Skip Stam, who I knew, who had been the leader of the minority.
	And they just skipped right over Skip.
	And they put in Tom Tillis.
	And he started pushing for toll roads.
	And they've got more and more toll roads in North Carolina.
	And then in Texas, they just multiply.
	And I've seen this happen in the Northeast, where Karen is from.
	Once you start putting in these toll roads, they start multiplying like a cancer.
	and they start getting more and more malignant in terms of the amount of money that they charge.
	And that's what's happening in New York City.
	And of course, here in Tennessee, we've got a governor, Bill Lee, who has decided that he wants to put the first toll roads in Tennessee.
	Tennessee, one of 14 states that doesn't have any toll roads.
	And so it is a real sticking point to see this type of thing.
	And we know what this is about.
	One person said, this is gonna kill Broadway.
	And said, if you're going to charge me another $15 to come in and see a play.
	It's already really expensive and difficult for people to get in the city.
	And the city is dying because of all the lockdown stuff.
	So now what they're going to do is they're going to charge people another $15 to come in to the area.
	And get this. If you are using a taxi, it'll be another $1.25 added on.
	If you're using an Uber, they'll double that.
	It'll be $2.50.
	And yet, with all this happening, in New York, they love government and they love taxes, don't they?
	It's got 60% approval.
	Now, those polls could be rigged, but because there already are six lawsuits that have been filed to stop this.
	So we're going to stop at this point, and we're going to take a quick break, and we're going to come back with Joel Skousen.
	I haven't had Joel on for a while.
	I was just talking about it the other day.
	It's been a while since Joel's been on.
	I really want to talk to him, get his take.
	On what is happening with all the many conflicts around the world, that is certainly his area of expertise.
	But there's other things that he's expert on as well in terms of getting a secure home, preparing your home for worst-case scenarios.
	So we're going to talk to Joel about all that stuff.
	We're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back.

	And now, The David Knight Show.
	Welcome back and joining us now is Joel Skousen.
	He has worldaffairsbrief.com and that is an ongoing letter by subscription that keeps you abreast as to what's going on with world affairs.
	He also has joelskousen.com.
	You can find his excellent books and we'll talk a little bit about these coming up.
	Strategic Relocation.
	Where are the safest places in the country?
	In case we have a nuclear war or many other issues that could happen, civil war, anything like that.
	And how do you fortify your house to protect yourself against home invasions or against a war, that type of thing?
	So we'll talk about those books coming up.
	I think he has those at joelskousen.com.
	Is that where they are, Joel? Yeah, that's correct, at joelskousen.com.
	And even though you can get them on Amazon, I prefer people buy from me.
	You don't want to feed the beast.
	That's right. Absolutely.
	Absolutely. And I want to talk a little bit about the Constitution Party.
	You've got some news about the Constitution Party.
	Tell us about that. Well, the Constitution Party, the national chairman, first of all, asked me to be the keynote speaker at their convention in Salt Lake City this year in April 26th and 27th.
	And then about a week later, he gave me a call and said, you know, we're having trouble finding anybody credible running for president with the Constitution Party, and we'd like you to run.
	I was kind of shocked because I am pessimistic about being able to turn things around in this country because of the moral decline and the control over the media and how many millions it takes to get on the ballot.
	But I felt very strongly that because they're gonna steal the election from Donald Trump again this year That it's a good time to wake Republicans up to the fact that their party is controlled at the top Just like the Democrats are controlled all throughout the party. That's right. And that even though we you know elect conservatives They become more and more mainstream and you have people like Mike Johnson who?
	Supposed to be a real tough conservative and he's capitulated just like McCarthy in terms of these these spending bills And I think it's time for Republicans to wake up that they're never going to get any results.
	Oh, I agree. And my specialty, of course, is I'm probably the foremost expert in the nation on conspiracy.
	Right. Both specifics of what's gone on and the big picture, which very few conservatives have, even those that understand the JFK conspiracy or the 9-11 attack by the deep state.
	They still don't understand the major globalist conspiracy to use war to get us into a militarized global government and how they have recently began, rather than cover for Russia and China, they started to attack and go after Russia, which they always do before an actual war.
	But conservatives unfortunately have bought into the fact, Alex Jones in particular, that he's in solidarity with Russia.
	He thinks that because all through the war on terror, the globalist deep state created phony enemies, Iraq and Afghanistan, and nothing to do with 9-11, and went after them.
	Libertarians and conservatives basically think, well, anybody the globalists must be against must be a good guy.
	That's a very, very crucial error.
	They don't understand that they've been building Russia and China as enemies, but before this war comes, they've got to reverse positions and start to attack them so that they're on the right side when the actual war strikes, and they're not obviously guilty.
	Yeah, Putin is a ruthless murderer and assassin, and he doesn't support any civil liberties or the rule of law.
	It's amazing. And he's not a Christian.
	He's not a Christian. He's not anti-woke.
	He is in terms of saving the Russians from the woke stuff, but he's still trying to infiltrate Hollywood and all the other things with woke ideas and corrupt Western society.
	Let's talk a little bit about the process, because again, I'm hoping that there's going to be somebody on the ballot here in Tennessee that I can vote for, because I'm not voting for any of these guys for a second term.
	And there's a guy in Texas who changed his name to literally anybody else.
	And I don't think, just so he can get on the Texas ballot as a presidency, because people are so fed up with this.
	But again, he's not going to be able to even get on the ballot.
	It's literally anybody else.
	It's so difficult to get on the ballot.
	I worked for many years with the Libertarian Party in North Carolina trying to get on the ballot, and I know how difficult that is.
	The Libertarian Party, just basically, that's all their focus is, just getting on the ballot.
	They don't really care about principles or anything like that anymore, just to get on the ballot.
	And, you know, and have this ballot slot that they offer people.
	I don't know if that's going to happen with RFK Jr.
	But talk to us about the ballot status of the Constitution Party because when all this stuff started happening in 2020, I said, well, folks, look, Trump instituted this vote-by-mail stuff.
	And he and many other people were talking, and I was talking about how it was going to be a new level of corruption.
	Steve Bannon even said, well, here's how this is going to work.
	We're going to use this to our advantage, and we're going to say we won whether we won or not, that type of thing.
	But they added that new wrinkle of corruption that was there.
	But I told everybody, I said, okay, so before you get all bent out of shape about the voting machines and their problem, or about the mail ballots and that's a problem, all these things are real problems, and we've had elections that have been crooked and slow in all my life.
	But I said, it all begins with ballot access, and then the next step is debate access.
	So what is the situation right now with the Constitution Party with ballot access?
	Well, the Constitution Party does have permanent ballot access in about 12 states because they have had significant successes.
	And that's the gold standard.
	If you can get a big enough showing in, when you put a candidate, then you don't have to go get signatures again the next year.
	And that's what the Libertarians have been trying to do, to get permanent ballot access.
	But the two parties keep making it difficult.
	They keep changing the rules.
	Yeah. In terms of ballot certification, they are very stingy about certifying any signatures, you know, unlike voting ballots where the Democrats want to accept any ballot at all, whether or not it's valid or not.
	It's not so the two major parties when they try to let a third party in.
	So it is very difficult.
	Now, they've just now qualified in North Carolina, and...
	We're probably going to get access in Texas and some others.
	So I suspect upwards of about 20 states will be on there.
	Now, that's not even half of what you need to win.
	But you see, frankly, for my geopolitical analysis, we're coming up against a world war here toward the end of this decade.
	And so we're really running out of time to change the country by electoral means.
	And as one person in North Carolina said to me in my interview last night with the party, he said, well, if they're going to steal the election from Donald Trump, as you say, why won't they steal it from you?
	And I said, well, they would. Obviously, because, you know, Donald Trump is clueless about conspiracy.
	That's why he can't tell who's deep state and who isn't deep state.
	but I can and they would be very very worried to have a conspiracy factual expert as well as theorist on the ballot.
	But I said that's really what we need to send a message to the deep state is that if you vote for Donald Trump, it's a wasted vote because they're going to steal the election.
	But if you vote for Joel Skousen, you're going to send a big warning flag to the deep state.
	Americans are starting to wake up to conspiracy.
	They're starting to wake up to the fact that there are facts in conspiracy as well as theory.
	And the reason we still have theory is because they hide most of the...
	Things in these illegal actions and assassinations and false flag operations under the cover of national security.
	So we're never going to find out completely, but we know enough about the facts to prove the existence of these major conspiracies.
	And I basically am going to use this platform to expand my voice.
	As you know, my World Affairs brief is under a paywall.
	It's modest, only $48 a year.
	But still, people are used to getting things free on the internet.
	And We're reluctant to pay anything.
	So I'm going to be out public speaking and getting on social medias and I'm going to really tell the truth.
	I'm going to have a series of short videos.
	Little five and six minute videos on each issue that are going to get spread around social media and we're going to see what kind of impact it's going to make.
	Excellent. Well, we'll do what we can to spread that information around as well.
	So while we're talking about the different conspiracies, let's talk about the one that everybody talks about, the JFK assassination.
	And what Trump's comments were on this and about the JFK assassination files.
	Give us your take on that.
	Well, you know, when Judge Napolitano asked Trump or confronted him about the fact that, you know, he promised to release the JFK files, that they squirreled away for 50 years, and after the 50 years passed, they wouldn't let him out.
	And he said, well, the Intelligence Committee, you know, came to me and told me what's really in the files, and if you knew what they knew, you wouldn't release it either.
	Well, I know.
	What is he writing?
	And so Judge Napolitano said, well, what's in the files?
	He said, well, sometime when we can talk in private, I may tell you and things.
	But, you know, I can tell you that Trump doesn't have a clue about being able to decipher when he's being lied to by the intelligence community.
	Mm-hmm. Now, we don't know exactly whether or not they're telling him the truth, that, yeah, the government killed Kennedy, so we couldn't reveal that, and he bought that.
	If he did buy that when they told him the truth, then he's guilty of basically covering up for the deep state out of fear probably, not because he's a deep stater, but out of fear of what they might do to him or anybody knowing how powerful they are.
	But I don't suspect that they've really told the truth.
	They probably told some half truth to them that was sufficient enough to get him to back down from doing that.
	I'll tell you a couple of things that I would do as president.
	I would release the MLK, Martin Luther King files.
	And I know what's in those because deputy director Gray told me after Martin Luther King died and Hoover died, I said, what's in those files?
	He said, well, Joel, there's 15 file cabinets that the FBI has.
	13 of those are There's pornographic videotapes and surveillance and wiretaps that we have of his relationships with prostitutes.
	And two file cabinets are full of his relationship with the Communist Party.
	Wow. Wow. So you see, Martin Luther King has a very, very dark history in there, and that's why those files are never going to be released.
	And of course, in the JFK assassination...
	The CIA hired a couple of mafia hitmen, one to man the grassy knoll and the other to take over the firing position in the We know that Oswald didn't shoot the weapon because he was down having a coke on the main floor when the shooting started.
	He was the patsy, of course, that was set up.
	Interesting enough, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
	is pretty savvy about the government's role in the assassination of his uncle and his father, especially his father.
	Because, you know, there were...
	Sirhan Sirhan was mind-controlled using a revolver that had six.22 shells in it.
	There were nine bullets, all.38 caliber, found in the woodwork of the kitchen.
	And he was shot twice in the back, which killed him by one of the bodyguards that was standing behind him.
	RFK has said that publicly, and he's right.
	He's actually, he says the autopsy physician, you know, pulled out the bullets from the back and said, this is what killed him, one in the spine of RFK.
	And Sirhan Sirhan was in his front, of course.
	So these are conspiracy facts, David.
	These are not theories.
	And, you know, we're dealing with a criminal government and Americans have to wake up to the fact that all of these issues that we argue about on party platforms, about whether it's abortion or whether it's about judicial reform or criminal reform, none of that means anything as long as you've got a deep state that controls most of the judges and about three fourths of Congress through blackmail.
	And other things, it's just a charade we're living through unless we can get past this.
	So you've got to have someone who really knows conspiracy in the White House to be able to tell.
	To really expose what the real deep state is.
	I absolutely agree with you. I had interviewed in the past Dr.
	Pepper, an unfortunate name, because when you start talking about Things that people are reluctant to believe.
	You say, but I interviewed Dr.
	Pepper who investigated the Martin Luther King assassination as well as the RFK senior assassination and kind of had a retrial of it, present the evidence to a jury and everything.
	So the stuff that you were just talking about there that RFK Jr.
	has affirmed is absolutely true there.
	He had an interesting statement About Martin Luther King Jr.
	He said, I agree with my dad's surveillance of Martin Luther King Jr.
	Do you have any more information about why he said he agreed with it?
	Is it because of the two files there that were communist involvement?
	Well, and of course, they were pulling up files about his involvement.
	his prostitution. You know, talk about a minister of the gospel being almost every night with prostitutes and his wife knew about this of course. In fact, the very hotel that he came out and was shot at in the morning was an orgy going on between several prostitutes with himself and his staff. And that's part of what RFK had surveillance on. And, you So why did they kill JFK?
	One, he was going to shut down CIA covert operations.
	But the other thing was that they wanted to martyr him because all of his socialist programs were stalled in Congress.
	None of them were progressing.
	And as soon as they made him a martyr, they all passed under JFK. Or Lyndon Johnson's Great Society legislation.
	Same thing with Martin Luther King.
	He was bound to be exposed, not only for his communist connections, but mostly for his gross immorality.
	I mean, even at the Nobel Prize ceremony, he was with prostitutes all night.
	So, they figured, you know, we can really boost the civil rights movement, take away people's right to discriminate people.
	And it is a fundamental right to choose who you associate on your own property and take that away by martyring Martin Luther King.
	And he's much more useful as a dead man than he was.
	Yes, yes, I agree.
	Yeah, yeah, when you talk about the civil rights movement and things like that in terms of the laws that they put in, it really is necessary.
	You always try to do an external change on people's behavior, especially by adding a law or something like that.
	And I've said for the longest time, because I've lived through that, I was young when that happened, but the real social change that I saw growing up in the South It was really something that came through, and it was something that Hollywood was pushing hard.
	And so, you know, that's one time I saw a positive thing coming from Hollywood because, you know, they were exposing racism for what it was.
	And if you change people's hearts and minds with something like...
	To kill a mockingbird or something like that.
	If that resonates with people, that's what's necessary.
	You come in and tell people, you've got to do this and you've got to do that.
	It pushed back. It actually makes things worse.
	I saw both aspects of that.
	I saw that mandated, you know, do this, not this type of thing.
	I saw that making it actually worse.
	And then I saw people actually having their hearts and minds changed by narratives and other things like that.
	And of course, that's what Hollywood is expert at.
	They usually use it for evil purposes.
	When you talk about conspiracies, I hope you get into...
	You know, the thing that I have, my perspective on all this stuff from 9-11 to the COVID pandemic lockdowns is that the lockdowns of 2020 was just the other shoe to drop from 9-11.
	Because two months before 9-11 they had the first germ game dark winter and then one week later They had the false flag attack of the anthrax thing two months after that They put out the model legislation that all the states used as soon as the president was going to Proclaim an executive order and the the germ game was to lock everybody down Until you got a an experimental vaccine out that you then required everybody to take before they got out I mean that was something practice that for for 20 years to
	me. That is one of the key things that people don't understand In terms of what has just happened to us I think there might be more of a pushback if they understood how long this thing was planned and practiced Rather than just saying Oh Cove it did it to us This is really bad, and maybe we reacted in the wrong way, but I think we've learned our lesson.
	I hope we've learned our lesson. They need to understand these people practiced this for 20 years.
	They planned and practiced this.
	And they're not through, David.
	That's right. This is a major conspiracy against...
	demographics of the West. And as I pointed out in last week's, in fact, this week, I'm covering it even more about how the vaccine is the bioweapon.
	And it's a very selective one because it is deadly in ways that is so difficult to track and link directly to the vaccine, especially when you don't do autopsies, when you're only looking for the spike protein.
	The point is, it creates, and you know, this is not modified DNA. This is a manipulated DNA or RNA that in fact creates other proteins that are damaging to the body other than the spike protein.
	And so that's why you have people with liver damage, that's why you have an increase in cancer among young people that is just off the walls.
	In fact, the You know, Princess of Wales has cancer, is a young, healthy person, and they won't talk about the fact she did take the vaccine, and this is one of the major side effects of the vaccine getting vaccinated.
	And it is a vast conspiracy because after that was announced with her, the mainstream media in the UK and the United States said, well, you know, there's been a real uptick in cancer with really young people, and we don't know what's causing it.
	And they looked, and they, yeah, we don't know what's causing it, right?
	But what they did was they showed some statistics that showed a mild increase going up to 2019.
	But they don't have any data for the last four years, right?
	To talk about how it really exploded after 2019.
	I understand there's a lot of things that have been introduced into our food and our environment that have increased cancer.
	But, you know, it exploded after that vaccine.
	But they say, oh, you know, it's a limited hangout.
	It's some truth, but it's not the whole truth.
	And they're masters at that kind of propaganda.
	That's why... It's good that you're running.
	I'm looking at World Affairs brief headlines here.
	You talk about how the mRNA technology is the bioweapon.
	It absolutely is. I've been calling it from the very beginning, the GCI, the genetic code injection.
	And I'm looking at this, and one million excess deaths in the U.S., and that's the message that really needs to get out.
	So I'm really glad that you're running.
	Well, you know, the important thing to realize is, and this really does prove that this is a conspiracy, why would they put the full vaccine only in 5% of the batches?
	Yes. It's because they know how deadly it is, and they know that if they put it in all the batches, you'd have such massive deaths that no one would ever take a vaccine again.
	That's right. Now, I'm telling people, period, don't ever take another vaccine again, period, because you can't trust them.
	Yes. And I'm covering a lot of the things about the autism case now that Children's Health Defense is throwing up against the CDC for actually falsifying to the courts the evidence of autism.
	And they had an official witness, you know, in the DOJ, actually, he recanted, he said, all right, I've given this evidence about autism not being related to vaccine and I'm recanting that.
	They fired him as a witness and then they continued to quote his original testimony to the court which caused them to rule against autism being related to vaccine and not allowing people to claim a vaccine injury over it.
	And so now CHD has a good case now going before the courts if they're honest now.
	That's a real big question.
	To prove that, in fact, the DOJ was guilty of manipulating the information, and it's called fraud on the court.
	It's a very serious offense.
	Yes. Very rarely does the court rule against fraud on the court because they're afraid, you know, to do this.
	Well, that's the attack that Latipo in Florida, the Surgeon General in Florida under DeSantis, was taking.
	He said, look, we know. That there's all these impurities there.
	And that's fraudulent that they've got that out.
	And because it has these documented impurities, we need to stop administering this.
	They're afraid to take it on directly.
	But, you know, there's enough evidence right there that it should be stopped.
	And yet, that's not happening.
	It truly is amazing, isn't it?
	Yeah, it really is.
	It just continues to go on, and they will tell boldface lies, censoring people, as well as using their power of the media and power of social media and the internet to push this narrative relentlessly.
	And so it really is amazing.
	And I know things are really stacked up.
	Is Tennessee one of the 20 states that you think the Constitution Party will be on?
	I don't have my list in front of me.
	I think the ballot requirements are kind of low here in Tennessee.
	It might be higher for a party, but I think for an independent, you've only got to get 250 signatures or something.
	But it might be higher for an actual party.
	But yeah, I hope there are some candidates for the Constitutional Party here.
	I hope to see you on the ballot.
	I certainly would like to vote for you.
	Absolutely. It has been such a limited hangout from all these people.
	Even when you look at RFK Jr., He won't come to terms fully with the vaccine.
	Oh, I'm not anti-vaccine.
	Well, just, you need to be anti-vaccine at this point in time.
	There's enough evidence, and they have been so ruthless at punishing anybody who speaks against it.
	Look at Dr. Wakefield that they came after.
	Destroyed his life, came from several generations of doctors.
	He had the personal integrity to speak out against this, like many of these people have now against this Trump shot.
	And they destroyed his life.
	And they do that to anybody who opposes this powerful, powerful vaccine lobby.
	It truly is amazing.
	So I'm very glad that you're going to run for that.
	RFK has stated in his book, The Real Anthony Fauci, that there is no way to mass-produce a safe vaccine.
	Now, that's a pretty anti-vaccine statement.
	And, of course, he's trying to avoid being crucified over these statements and things.
	does not believe in the safety of vaccines anymore. Now, one thing that I warn people about RFK, you know, even though we are hopeful that he's a person who of course understands a portion of the deep state, that is the assassination portion of his father and his uncle, etc.
	He still is very much a Democrat.
	He just came out and said that he would create a nationwide mandate for abortion for all, free to all.
	And that's the Democrat coming out, making him very dangerous.
	I'm glad he came out.
	And of course, Trump gave out his counter statement about Sort of backing pro-life things, but it's a very cautious thing.
	It's very clear that Trump is worried, and he knows, and so do the Republicans, that because of the rate of immorality in this country, that abortion is quite popular.
	Yes, yes. The majority wants abortion, and so they're reluctant to make this case against, a hard case against abortion.
	You see that in Trump waffling about the issue.
	There's one of the people that's caught up as an anti-abortion activist in Washington, D.C. She's one of the people that was able to get some of the baby bodies before they were incinerated.
	They took pictures of it.
	They've arrested them. They're now facing charges and things like that.
	But she ran, and she is a very liberal progressive, but she's pro-life.
	And she's running for Congress, or at least did run.
	Maybe she was in the primary and got taken out.
	But she was running for Congress, and she was able, as a congressional candidate, to show pictures of these brutally murdered and mutilated and dismembered bodies of these children because they can't stop you from showing anything as a congressional candidate.
	Now, I don't know if that applies to the presidential stuff, but I've said, you know, you can show people and It is very powerful what live action has put together in terms of the development of a baby.
	And there are some states like Tennessee where they are mandating that that be shown to students so they get the truth about development of the baby.
	They see the humanity of the baby.
	That's a positive message.
	But I think people need to see the negative message.
	They need to see that...
	That horrible murder, that really gets people upset when you show that because it does show that truth that's there.
	I've said if I was ever going to run for Congress again, that would be the only reason I would run is so I could...
	Fundraise for those ads and put those ads out there in people's faces so they can understand what is going on with that.
	But it is a really key issue, a very key issue for people.
	If we don't stand for life at the beginning, they're going to euthanize us all the rest of the way.
	At the end of life, they're going to push...
	Suicide in the middle of life is one of the key things that we have to stand by and support, just from a pragmatic standpoint.
	Not even from a standpoint that you're going to stand before God someday, but just from a pragmatic standpoint.
	If you don't want them to kill you, you better not stand by and let them kill innocent people.
	Well, I completely agree.
	And even though I think it's a losing proposition in terms of majority rule, this is a fundamental right to life.
	And as for, you know, a woman's choice, this is a very deceptive kind of ploy talking about pro-choice.
	I believe strongly that a woman exercises this to her choice.
	when she has unprotected sex.
	And just like a driver who exercises his right to drive with his license cannot walk away from an accident where he's liable for destroying somebody else's property.
	Just like a woman exercises her right to have sex, then she can't walk away from the consequences when you create a new life.
	And the creation of new life takes place at conception, and I am very strong on abortion, that you cannot kill your own child.
	You cannot kill it.
	It was interesting.
	It's interesting to see these people say, my body, my choice.
	They didn't believe that when it was the masks.
	They didn't believe that when it was the vaccines, did they?
	And that really was our body.
	That really was our choice.
	You know, that wasn't another body that was there.
	I actually think, and I said this earlier in the program, I think Trump stumbled on, for political expediency, I think he stumbled on to the correct constitutional position.
	I do think that it is a state issue.
	I said for years that it was horrendous that Roe v.
	Wade would be imposed on us by the Supreme Court, just like I think it's horrendous that they would impose a definition of marriage and many other things that they've done at the Supreme Court.
	That is something that I believe, under the Constitution, resides at the state level.
	And from a pragmatic standpoint, If they nationalize this, as Lindsey Graham and other people talked about, I think you would have more babies die of abortion because it would raise the limit in a lot of these pro-life states.
	And then when the Democrats get in, they will get rid of any limits whatsoever, and the Republicans will go along with it.
	Whereas when the Republicans, if the Republicans come in with a 15-week limit, I think that New York and other places like that are just going to ignore it, just like they ignore the unconstitutional drug war prohibition of marijuana and things like that.
	There's no constitutional authority for that.
	They didn't pass an amendment like they did with alcohol, so they don't have any authority.
	That's why Jeff Sessions set it out, because he didn't have any authority to enforce it.
	So I think the Democrats will ignore...
	Any national restrictions on abortion, I think that when they get in, they will push unrestricted abortion, and I think the conservative states will go along with it.
	That's my feeling from a pragmatic standpoint.
	I think you're right. Now, as a principle of law, even though I agree constitutionally this is a matter of states' rights, as a matter of principle of law, when you really establish a workable definition of fundamental rights, which I've done in My platform revision for the Constitutional Party.
	It should apply not only to the federal government but states.
	no one should be able to violate fundamental rights.
	And even at any level of government, it ought to be uniform.
	There ought not to be, I mean, you still have plenty of room within states to have different levels of taxation, which allows the state to be attractive to one another, etc.
	And different regulations and things.
	And different regulations and things.
	But when it comes to mandating the defense of fundamental rights, which includes the right to contract, the right of association and disassociation, you know, the right to life and those, the right of self-defense, etc.
	But when it comes to mandating the defense of fundamental rights, which includes the right to contract, the right of association and disassociation, the right to life and the right of self-defense, etc., which allows a state to be attractive to one another, etc.
	Those have to be mandated upon all levels of government.
	In fact, I believe in covenant citizenship or qualified citizenship rather than citizenship by birth.
	In other words, you have to at 18 pass a test where you know the basic limitations of law.
	It's an open book test in the sense that it's all available.
	You just have to know it and be able to repeat the information on a test to prove that you know what the limitations on lawmaking power are.
	That's the whole purpose of the concept.
	Otherwise, you can't be a citizen.
	You could be a resident, then you can't own title property, you can rent and things, but you have to give some incentive to be a citizen, and then you qualify.
	Now, children are citizens under their parents under my system until 18, and then they've got to qualify for their own citizenship.
	And then we don't have a rising generation raised by Marxists and socialists in universities who Who grew up being totally ignorant because you simply can't be a citizen unless you qualify.
	That's right. And it isn't hard.
	As I say, it's an open book.
	The answers are there.
	You've just got to know them.
	And you've got a sign on the dotted line that you won't violate other people's rights unless you lose your citizenship.
	Now, this would radically change a lot of going on in our country so that you don't necessarily have to control...
	Public education, which I don't think ought to be funded by tax money, by the way.
	I agree. Oh, yeah, I agree.
	Definitely got to get rid of the Department of Education.
	Yeah. That's one of those things Rick Perry said.
	I got three departments I'm going to get rid of.
	He couldn't remember one of them, and the one that he couldn't remember was the one that Trump put him ahead of.
	Yeah, that's... That's the Department of Energy.
	But we've had regulation without representation.
	So what does an election even mean when we've turned this over to the bureaucracy?
	But for the longest time, it's been headed towards that, strongly headed towards that.
	Rand Paul used to introduce on an annual basis his RAINS Act, where he said, we've got to...
	You know, we have abdicated our authority to pass laws, and we kick it over to the bureaucracy, and they pass rules.
	And then the worst aspect of it is they pretend that these rules are different from laws in the sense that if it's a law, you have constitutional due process protection, presumption of innocence, protection against excessive fines.
	But, hey, if it's a rule, we don't even have to charge you with a fine.
	We can just confiscate your property.
	We can take as much of it as we want.
	You know, that's really...
	That's another aspect of the deep state that I think really needs to be addressed.
	Absolutely. I'm sure you're going to talk about that as well.
	Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's all fascinating, and we're going to have you on again to find out how the campaign is going and ballot status and other things like that.
	But let's talk a little bit about what's happening with war, because we've had some very troubling developments recently.
	There's even more talk is still going down this path, as you point out.
	The NATO and the U.S. wants to have a war, and it's very clear when they start talking about, well, let's make Ukraine a member of NATO. That is like an instant declaration of war.
	What is going on in Gaza over the weekend?
	They said, well, the IDF is pulling out of these areas, but now it looks like maybe that was a regrouping to go back into another area.
	What is your take on these hotspots?
	Well, let's talk about Ukraine first.
	In the muddy spring, of course, there's a stalemate going on.
	Nobody's really on the offensive.
	Russia has taken back from Ukraine about 150 square miles.
	But you've got to remember that Ukraine made erosions into Russian occupied territory in excess of 300 or 400 square miles.
	So it's still a net loss for Russia.
	They haven't been able to make much progress.
	But the situation is getting critical for Ukraine in the sense of lack of ammunition, especially 155 millimeter artillery shells, which are in short supply because of all the waffling the West has done, almost as a direct result of the Republicans and conservatives buying into the lies that Putin told Tucker Carlson, who was clueless about real history.
	Real history of the Soviet Union so that he didn't have any counters for Vladimir Putin on that.
	I mean, incredibly, Vladimir Putin even admitted to Tucker Carlson that we, the Russian leadership, initiated the fall of the Soviet Union.
	It didn't even faze him.
	He didn't realize that he was admitting to something that no Russian leader has ever admitted before, that the fall of the Soviet Union wasn't spontaneous, that they couldn't control.
	That's the official narrative.
	But they initiated it.
	In fact, I published that in the World First Brief years ago, that Eric Hanekar on his deathbed in Chile was Said, Moscow gave me orders to let the student riots in Leipzig go forward.
	They gave orders to all of the dictators of the Soviet satellite states to step down, and only Ceausescu of Romania refused, and he was killed, he and his wife.
	So, this is very interesting, but the point is that Ukraine has turned now to drone warfare, and they have been using A-22 private aircraft, which is a very cheap Cessna 172 type aircraft they've turned into drones.
	Pack the fuselage with explosives, up to 100-200 pounds of it, and take off And they've flown 700 miles to hit a Russian drone factory.
	They've hit Russian oil refineries and are really starting to be a pain in the backside to Russia in terms of that.
	Now Russia's retaliated in the same way with drones.
	She have drones from Iran that they're manufacturing in Russia.
	So this has now become a drone war, a war of attrition.
	And It's very interesting that I've long talked about in my World Affairs Brief how, and Putin even admitted this, by the way, to Tucker Carlson, who didn't see.
	He said, well, Stalin agreed to put the Russian-speaking areas of the Donbass into the borders of Ukraine and Crimea, Russian-speaking, into the borders of Ukraine.
	He says, now, I don't know why.
	Of course he knows why. He knows that they did it because they were planning on faking their own demise later on, and they wanted to have an excuse to get back into Ukraine.
	And so they put Russian-speaking people into the border so they could irritate them and get them to protest and give Russia an excuse to come back in to protect the Russians.
	We've seen that kind of thing with the British Empire where they would take different people groups and re- Yeah.
	Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, the globalists have done that too.
	And by the way, the Russians put hundreds of thousands of Russian immigrants into the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.
	And one of the interesting globalist geopolitical lawyers working for the government said, you know, I suspect that the Baltics are going to be next because they have all those Russian immigrants in there who are always complaining about being discriminated against.
	And And I think she's absolutely right.
	If they ever take Ukraine, they're going after the Baltics next.
	And so, you know, this whole excuse by Putin that we can't allow NATO, Ukraine to be part of NATO, let me tell you the truth.
	Remember, in the phony fall of the Sonia Union, none of the communist bureaucrats were ever removed from any of these satellite states, including Ukraine.
	And that's why the people would always complain about these bureaucrats still charging them bribes in order to get anything done in Ukraine, in Poland, in other words.
	And so... When the West let Poland and Romania and Hungary and Czechoslovakia into the NATO they were letting in people who were full of spies.
	So Putin really doesn't object to a country joining NATO because he's got all kinds of spies in there that tell them exactly what NATO is doing.
	This is a ruse.
	This is giving him an excuse.
	And I'm the only one to document how the so-called Western coup in 2014 in Ukraine was, in fact, a fake coup by the Communist president, Viktor Yanukovych.
	Because he alone let the coup win by creating a stand-down of the Berkut, the riot police, that were torturing and surrounding the protesters.
	They stood down on the day that the coup was won, and the people walked out of the Maidan Square into the presidential palace.
	That would be like a January 6th protest going on, and there was no Capitol Police showed up at the Capitol.
	Could the protesters have issued a standout? No, only Nancy Pelosi could have issued a standout order.
	Please.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	It's the conservatives that have been snookered and fooled by all the propaganda.
	Now, it's true that the globalists want this war just as much as Russia and China.
	And they are provoking in little ways.
	They, for example, signed the treaties with Russia that we won't expand NATO. They knew they were going to expand NATO. I mean, that's part of the reasons for rampaging through the world in the phony war on terror to create the image of the bully of the world.
	This helps Russia and China justify attacking the West someday.
	In fact, the conservatives who are very anti-globalists, I think Putin is trying to save them from our own globalists.
	Alex Jones said the other day on his show, I am in solidarity with Russia.
	How stupid can you get, Alex?
	And I've been on his show.
	I've explained what I just explained to you here.
	Well, Alex was telling people that the Trump shot was sugar water.
	I've got the clip. Nobody would believe me for years, and somebody sent me the clip.
	It's like, thank you for sending me this clip.
	He said, it's just basically sugar water.
	You can take it. So he said some interesting things.
	You know, one of the things that stuck out to me about this...
	Is the fact that, you know, Zelensky runs in 2019, his party's on a peace thing, right?
	The civil war's been going on for five years.
	And the guy that was going to the peace negotiations, Alexander Arrestovich, does this Ukrainian interview.
	She asks him, so what's the chances for peace?
	He says, none. We're good to go.
	Is this whole thing like a shadowboxing thing like you're talking about?
	You know, both sides have got their games running here.
	They know exactly when Russia is going to...
	I mean, he's not saying we're going to invade in three years.
	He said we're going to be invaded in precisely three years so that we can get into this NATO thing.
	It seems like they got this whole thing planned out, doesn't it?
	And you notice how Zelensky said almost the day before the invasion, there's not going to be any invasion.
	I mean, he knew, and so did his military.
	Why were they telling their own people there wasn't going to be an invasion?
	So they were totally ill-prepared.
	Of course, so the people didn't flee, so that they could recruit them.
	The point is, Ukraine is corrupt, just like Russia is corrupt.
	All the former Soviet states have this integral corruption.
	But the Ukrainian people do not deserve to live under a reconstituted Soviet Union system.
	And Putin should not be rewarded for having faked his own demise to fool the West into all of this.
	But remember, the globalists play both sides, the Soviets play both sides, the Chinese play both sides.
	You've really got to know your stuff to be able to figure out what's going on geopolitically.
	Conservatives, unfortunately, want to see everything in terms of black and white.
	Who's the good guy and who's the bad guy?
	And there are no good guys on the national and international stage.
	That's absolutely true.
	That's absolutely true.
	Yeah. What do you think, I mean, the other trouble areas that we see, the Middle East or China, what is next on your...
	Well, let's talk about Gaza and Hamas.
	You know, the Israeli military know that the Israeli people have very little tolerance for casualties in the military.
	There's weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth.
	They don't have a very good idea of the afterlife like we do in Christianity.
	And so they have very little tolerance for casualties.
	And so they have been bombing the heck out of civilian areas with a little disregard for civilian casualties.
	Even though they give warnings before.
	Hamas is there telling people you can't leave to exacerbate the civilian casualties.
	But Netanyahu is a globalist.
	There are a lot of sincere people in Israel, but, you know, Netanyahu continues year after year to stop short of actually winning any war to continue the conflict later on.
	Always lets Moss reconstitute itself.
	And as I pointed out in the World Affairs Brief, the Israeli military withdrew from southern Israel 80% of the Gaza battalion in order to leave this wide-open, unprotected So that when the invasion occurred, they were six to seven hours away from being spawned.
	So Israel is fully responsible for allowing this to happen.
	Now that isn't to say anything about Hamas is a vicious terrorist organization.
	Always has been, always will.
	There never will be peace in the Middle East because of the hatred between the that is preached to young Gazans and young Palestinians from the day that they're Yeah.
	I've been to Israel many times, and it's a very, very sad situation.
	But Hamas, even if eliminated, and I don't know how you really eliminate, because in this process of the invasion, you kill that many civilians, you create enough hatred to reconstitute Hamas.
	That's right. Even if you kill all the existing fighters.
	That's right. Now, unfortunately, Israel ended up killing an aid group here, a Western aid group, with a very prominent individual of the aid kitchen organization.
	And this is what has basically caused them to halt or pull back.
	Whether or not they stay pulled back, they're not going to ever, in my opinion, allow Gaza to be semi-independent again.
	Remember, Israel created this by removing the troops from the occupation zone before, and the fact they even forced to remove many Israelis who had productive farms along the Mediterranean coast there and gave them over to the thousands.
	I don't think they can do that again.
	It will just simply turn into an armed camp again.
	The only solution, I believe, and this is a compromise solution, is to continued occupation.
	And I say this because Arabs, in fact, live under occupation in the West Bank and in Israel itself and do so fairly well.
	There are restrictions, of course.
	There are periodic searches when they come through to work and things.
	But they do so in relative peace, whereas in Hebron, Where there's a small pocket of some 800 Israelis living among them, they have to have an entire Israeli brigade to defend them.
	That shows how Israelis are not safe living among Palestinians, whereas Palestinians are relatively safe living among Palestinians.
	So I think the only compromise solution, forget about a two-state solution.
	If you make it an independent state, it's going to be an armed camp and they'll go to war against Israel.
	So occupation with jobs available to them is probably the only way you're going to have interim peace, but it's not going to be, you know, they'll always be sniping at each other.
	It's just never going to be peace until the second coming of the Lord.
	Yeah.
	Well, you're absolutely right.
	You're absolutely right about Netanyahu being a globalist as well.
	From the beginning of this, I've been showing, you know, I talked about when it was happening, the fact that they wanted to get the front of the line with the Pfizer vaccine.
	So he literally offered his own people as lab rats.
	And then he's a couple of teleconference calls that he did with the World Economic Forum talking about how many people he had injected with the Pfizer shot and that type of thing.
	He's fully on board with these globalists.
	He's not very popular at home either.
	He's had difficulty constituting a government.
	But then the question becomes, as you point out, You know, the Israelis are not safe where there's a large number of Palestinians.
	They would like to deport them, I think, to the EU or to the US. Is that going to happen?
	We've already got massive numbers of Arabs in Michigan chanting death to the USA over this last weekend.
	Are they going to be able to send their problem to us?
	Well, this is one of the actual hidden purposes of the war on terror was to create enough mayhem in the Middle East to create waves, millions of refugees so that they could flood Europe and destroy Western culture there.
	It has over 25% of the population now Muslim in Europe.
	And it is literal hell and where the police can't even go into Muslim areas.
	It's that dangerous as well as in Michigan.
	Yes, they want to import.
	This is part of the entire, and it really is, frankly, I'll be frank, a satanic agenda to destroy Christian-based Western civilization with conflict, and that's what Half of the motivation for this influx at the border, this invasion, is just tremendous, and it's going to be destructive to America, especially, think about this, when World War III comes around, around the latter part of this decade, they'll be precipitated by an EMP strike.
	the grid goes down and I'll tell you, with 30 or 40 million illegal aliens in there that are out of work, out of jobs, out of food and things, there's gonna be a lot of pillaging and even Americans are gonna join in, especially in big cities where you're gonna have a Mad Max type scenario going on.
	And that's one of the reasons why I wrote Strategic Relocation is you've got to get out of the big cities, or at least prepare to leave and you've gotta have advance notice.
	That's why I encourage people to subscribe to my World Affairs Brief so that they will have advance notice.
	But if you look at the night sky satellite view of the United States, east of the Mississippi, it's just a wave of lights, even in rural areas.
	It's high-density population everywhere.
	And west of the Mississippi, it's relatively dark, except in the blue cities.
	You know, LA, Denver, Salt Lake City, Albuquerque, New Mexico.
	All the major cities are in democratic control in the United States now.
	And I tell you, those cities are going to melt down, and conservatives who are overwhelmed there politically...
	Are going to realize there's no jobs left.
	There's nothing keeping me here.
	and they're going to go back to their roots, hopefully, in rural areas, where my hope is that there'll be new, a remnant, shall we say, good Christian people or moral people who will be able to establish new constitutional majorities and uphold the Constitution, even while the globalists get us into a military global government.
	Yes. That's the only hope that I see, frankly, is the redistribution of America, the separation of conservatives.
	I don't believe we're ever going to be united again.
	I think it's impossible because of the moral degradation of society.
	So the only solution is apartheid, meaning that not by force but by voluntarily separating yourself from Babylon, if you will, that you have some protection and some mutual assistance from other people.
	I agree. That's what I've been stressing with people.
	And I think it'll be this type of thing, you talk about it being a separation.
	I don't think it'll be a formal separation, declaring secession, because that's going to invite attack.
	And neither do I think that there is going when we have global governance completely put in they will still leave the the putative National governments there, they'll just be functionaries for the global governance, but they'll have that there for Appearances sake and to keep people happy and and pacified and so we need to do that same thing at the lower level we say Oh, yeah, yeah world Americans, right? Well, we create our own
	at the local level.
	All politics is local.
	Elon Musk even pointed that out with the strategies that George Soros was taking in terms of focusing on district attorney races and how he could subvert things very easily and have a great deal of effect.
	He says, you know, when you focus on the top level, it's very difficult to have much of an effect.
	I think really at the local level, that's an important thing.
	I think that's very important.
	It is. Agreed.
	And strategic relocation, again, people can find that at joelskousen.com.
	We've only got a little bit of time left.
	Briefly, tell us a little bit about fortifying your home for the things that we're concerned that are coming.
	The most important thing besides relocating or preparing to relocate to rural areas...
	is to secure your home.
	You see, when the lights go out, even people in rural cities and towns will be without food within about three days because not very many people, you know, like the LDS people, store food and have a preparedness system as a church.
	And so, and even they, probably only 10% are really prepared.
	But nevertheless, the most important security feature you can have is not to make your home into a fortress, which is very expensive, but to have a secure hidden basement safe room.
	And that's why I encourage relocation to areas where you can do basements.
	And it's very difficult, you know, in Tennessee, for example, where you have that bedrock three feet under the ground almost everywhere.
	But it still can be done in certain areas with sloping ground.
	But in Texas has its hard pan areas, but it's very important to have a secure safe room because when you see mobs coming down the street, pillaging house to house, you're not going to get out your guns and shoot starving people.
	That's just not the right thing to do.
	You want to be able to get out of the way.
	Leave your doors open so they don't break the house down.
	Don't leave much in the cupboards or anything at all, and they'll go on to the next house.
	But they can't find you and your survival goods and your food stocks and We're good to go.
	That is wise advice.
	And again, people can find that at joelskousen.com.
	Take a look at that. Joel has a lot of wise advice about that.
	He's got a lot of wise advice for the government if we can just get that information out there.
	Good to hear that you're running.
	Thank you so much for joining us, Joel.
	Thank you. My pleasure, David.
	Thanks. Let me tell you, The David Knight Show, you can listen to with your ears.
	You can even watch it by using your eyes.
	In fact, if you can hear me, that means you're listening to The David Knight Show right now.
	Yeah, good job.
	And you want to know something else?
