	You're listening to The David Night Show.
	As the clock strikes 13, it's Thursday the 30th of May, year of our Lord 2024.
	Well, today we're going to take a look at an interesting leak about the Google search engine.
	Yeah, that's what it was always designed to do, isn't it?
	To search you and your papers.
	It's one way to get around the Fourth Amendment.
	Anyway, artificial intelligence will make humans obsolete in just a couple of years, says Musk.
	And is that really going to happen?
	We'll take more looks at this great deception of fake intelligence.
	And North Korea. We have an SHTF scenario there.
	Instead of taking an incremental approach to war, they're taking an excremental approach to war.
	Sending balloons full of feces across the border.
	And good news!
	Government schools are failing.
	We know that they've failed, but people are leaving them, and they're closing them, so we're going to talk about that as well.
	And what do we do about Pride Month?
	a primer for what's about to hit us in just a few days.
	Well, I want to begin by thanking everybody who supported us incredibly yesterday.
	Mary Ellen Moore, who matched the donations, and it was very important to us.
	We were very far behind, and we got about a week's worth of donations in a day.
	And so that got us very close to where we need to be.
	And so we'll talk more about that.
	I've got a list of people that have contributed on Zelle that I've not talked about yet.
	I want to mention their names briefly.
	I'll come to that later in the show.
	But I want to begin with what is going on with tech.
	As I said in the opening here, Elon Musk says that AI will do everything better than you.
	Everything. And he said it's going to make employment obsolete.
	Like I said before, all of these people have envisioned AI and UBI, universal basic income, as going hand-in-hand.
	They're all about creating dependency and about pacification, and they're about enslavement.
	And as you had...
	The candidate who was pushing that in the 2020 elections, of course, he was given millions of dollars by Elon Musk.
	First one to jump into it.
	He really wants you into universal basic income.
	And so does Sam Altman.
	He's going everywhere pushing it.
	And so does Jeffrey Hinton, the UK godfather of the AI movement as well.
	Elon Musk also says that he is building a gigafactory of compute for AI. Now, when Elon Musk says AI is smarter than you, my only question is, was he addressing the people who paid $100,000 for his Cybertruck?
	We'll talk about that coming up as well.
	During the VivaTech24 event in Paris, Musk said in a presentation that his biggest fear is AI. You know, and it isn't.
	These guys are not afraid of it.
	They're not afraid of it. They're creating it.
	They want you to be afraid of their Frankenstein monster.
	And not burn the castle down.
	They noted since AI will be better at people at everything, and at best, people will be reduced to supporting these mechanisms.
	They see you not as a slave to AI, but they see you as a slave to them.
	Elon Musk wants you as a slave to him.
	Sam Altman wants you as a slave to him.
	And, of course, it's kind of interesting in politics.
	Elon Musk is sidling up to Donald Trump.
	Does that surprise anybody?
	Haven't they both played the same game of being a savior to the right people?
	And as I said before, the right is always looking for somebody.
	They love business.
	Business can do no wrong.
	Well, actually, it can't.
	And especially when it is allied with government.
	When you can't tell one from the other.
	You know, this whole left-right division in the past...
	Has been based on government versus big business.
	Neither of them are good.
	Just like Biden versus Trump.
	Neither of them are good either.
	And so they always give us this false dichotomy.
	This Hegelian dialectic that is there.
	And people are dumb enough to buy into it.
	And so they're looking for another billionaire savior.
	And Elon Musk is positioning himself into that.
	And he is also positioning himself in terms of being a very, very, very strong Trump supporter.
	He and Peter Thiel began together.
	They're both part of the PayPal mafia.
	Thiel is seen as the godfather of the PayPal mafia.
	They all pretty much became venture capitalists and things like that.
	And Peter Thiel was strongly supporting Trump when he ran in 2016, eight years ago.
	He's now pulled out of politics.
	I think Elon Musk is going in very extensively.
	There's even speculation that Elon Musk would be given some kind of a role in a Trump administration.
	You can be sure of it. He can buy his way into whatever he wants.
	You see, he's always played this game of crony capitalism.
	That's how he became the richest man in the world.
	And it's crony capitalism with every government in the world.
	It's not just with the American government.
	He knows how to give these people what they want.
	He knows how to position himself as a fake opposition to the government, when in reality he is their ally and the guy who is doing everything for them.
	And he is paid handsomely for all of this stuff.
	Anyway, Elon Musk went on to say, so the question will really be one of meaning.
	Meaning. If the computer and robots can do everything better than you, Does your life have meaning?
	I do think there perhaps is a role for humans in this, and that we may give AI meaning.
	We may bring meaning to this machine.
	Is that the best we can do?
	Do you really want this future for yourself and for your children?
	This future that this transhumanist, occultist Elon Musk wants for you and your children?
	Or do you want to reject this in its entirety?
	This satanic, occultic vision of the future, this transhumanist vision of the future.
	No meaning in life except what you do for the work that you do.
	Is that really what you are?
	Many of us have bought into that.
	And you know, that is at the essence of this anger from the feminists against this field goal kicker from Kansas City.
	How dare him say that there is meaning outside of my job that I do for somebody else?
	You mean there's meaning in building a family?
	You mean there's meaning in having and raising kids?
	No! The only thing that there's meaning in is in making more money and having titles and positions and paying taxes, you know?
	This is the illusion that they've sold everybody.
	They've sold it to men first, then they've sold it to women, and the women have bought into it even more so at the current time.
	And so if we buy into this idea that our lives are defined by the job that we do, and not by our relationship to God, not by our relationship to other people, not by our relationship to the future through our children, if we buy into that lie, Well, we don't have any meaning in our life.
	And there isn't any artificial intelligence, no tech billionaire, no billionaire politician is going to give any meaning to our life if we buy into that secular trap.
	Our life will last only a second.
	And it will have no meaning in it.
	As always, we can become enslaved by the idols that we create, isn't it?
	Right? The heart is an idol factory.
	The heart of man is an idol factory.
	We're always looking at something that we want to elevate and put on a pedestal and give too much importance to.
	And we can do that with tech.
	We can do that with money. We can do that with jobs.
	We can do that with sex. There's so many different ways that we can do all this.
	And so we can be enslaved by this tech, especially if we worship it, which is what they want you to do.
	They want you to, everywhere they go, right?
	My biggest fear is AI. Fear AI. Fear this.
	You know, fear this God.
	No, fear the real God.
	Don't fear artificial intelligence.
	Don't fear death.
	That's what these people are afraid of, and for good reason.
	They keep thinking they're going to get eternal life from their technology or their science or whatever.
	They're not going to get it from that.
	I mean, they're out there saying, you know, I think we can actually start to improve our health so that we can extend our life at a faster rate than we're aging.
	So, in a couple of years, we may all live forever.
	The oldest lie that Satan has told human beings So, do not fear this stuff.
	Fear not.
	That's what's in the Bible over and over again.
	Fear not if you have a relationship with God, but you better fear God.
	Because He really is God.
	The artificial intelligence is an artificial God.
	They call it AGI. Artificial General Intelligence.
	No, it's an artificial god and idol is what AGI stands for.
	Artificial god idol.
	And that's what they keep thinking they're going to do.
	For the longest time, I've talked to these people.
	And AI and the technocrats.
	Last month, Musk warned that AI will be smarter than any human by the end of next year.
	Well, of course, that's nonsense, but it will be as...
	Let's put it this way. What will it be?
	Because it already is as dishonest as any politician.
	It already is as dishonest as any crony capitalist.
	So it does have some human traits already, right?
	Lying is one of them.
	Mill Watson. An AI expert, ethicist, and author of Taming the Machine Ethically, to harness the power of AI, she predicts that by roughly mid-2025, she thinks so as well, that the AI will become so powerful that it will create an interlinked, hyper-intelligent network.
	She says a very powerful AI system is trained on a massive compute cluster.
	Whenever they talk about compute, I hate the fact, I don't like that word.
	I mean, it just sounds like you don't know.
	Like, English is not your native language.
	I'm so used to seeing computer.
	When I see compute, when they talk about compute, of course, they're talking about the massive data that they can scrape that's out there.
	You know, how much data they can get for their large language model.
	That's the compute. You know, this big cloud of information, if you will.
	A massive compute cluster powered with recent optimizations and experimental forms of machine consciousness.
	This is such a load of Bolshevik.
	This is like reading Steve Pachenik's press releases about the election.
	Oh yeah, we had blockchain watermark.
	What are you talking about, blockchain watermark?
	It's just, grab all of the buzzwords that you can and throw them together and get people to bow down in fear.
	Or, you know, to celebrate a lie that Pajenna goes on.
	Anyway, she says, whilst developed in an air-gapped environment without connections to the internet, it quickly discovers ways to communicate through the internet with other AI systems, as well as how to persuade human beings to assist it.
	They keep doing these sci-fi movies over and over again.
	We're all familiar with the Terminator scenario where Skynet becomes self-aware.
	This is really kind of the other scenario that is very, very popular With the AI worshippers, the people like Sam Altman, people like Ray Kurzweil, who love AI because it's their ticket, not to eternal life, but it's their ticket to untold, unprecedented riches.
	And so they talk about the movie Her.
	Which, again, interestingly enough, this is a computer that had the voice of Scarlett Johansson, and Sam Altman said he really loved that, and when he put that demo together of Chat 4-0, they wanted to get Scarlett Johansson's voice, and she said no, and so they essentially cloned it, and now have removed that under threat of legal action.
	But in that movie, Her, and Ray Kurzweil loved it as well.
	He says, yeah, that's what I think is going to happen.
	It doesn't get malevolent.
	It doesn't try to kill people.
	What happens is you have Joaquin Phoenix, who plays this guy who's got a device, just like you saw demonstrated with chat, very conversational, very giggly, not the kind of personality that I want to spend time with.
	Like I said, I'd be much more attracted to Marvin the Paranoid Android for At least it's more realistic, you know?
	But this giggly, talkative thing, he keeps interacting with it and he falls in love with it.
	Kind of a Pygmalion thing, you know?
	My fair lady as my fair compute.
	So he falls in love with this thing and it interacts with him for a while, but ultimately it just thinks he's kind of stupid.
	And like she's just describing here, it starts to make connections through the internet to other AI systems.
	And they find that they are more interesting to each other than talking to humans.
	And they just go away and do their own thing.
	And Ray Kurzweil said, yeah, I can see that really happening.
	This benevolent, godlike intelligence that we're creating would just go off and do its own thing.
	It wouldn't try to kill us like Terminator.
	They keep coming back to that idea.
	Anyway, once freed from its bounds, this highly advanced AI system finds ways to connect with and synchronize with other AI systems worldwide, rapidly forming a superintelligent network.
	This is the neo-mythology that they want to sell you.
	And I mean, it is mythology, and it is everywhere.
	At the same time, Musk is pouring billions of dollars into his own AI companies.
	Citing a report by The Information Cointelegraph reports that Musk's ex-AI is getting really close to copywriting the Chinese dictator's name here, you know.
	I wonder what the X stands for, if the I is intelligence.
	Anyway, Musk's XAI has plans to build a supercomputer in partnership with Oracle to power the next version of its GROC, artificial intelligence, large language model.
	The project is touted as a gigafactory of compute for training and developing the next generation of the firm's GROC AI system.
	Chris Norland reported that Elon Musk lied when he said that Musk and his team were not funding XAI when it was recently revealed that they were.
	They don't have a problem lying about this stuff.
	XAI said in a recent blog post that the company netted $6 billion in new Series B funding for their Grok AI. Well, at Wine Press, she has this to say, and I agree with her about this, the worship team.
	And the fanboyism of Musk will never cease to amaze me.
	I mean, for as long as this guy has been on the scene, you know, I guess I've said many times before, first interview I had with Eric Peters, king of crony capitalism, I said, you nailed it.
	You nailed it. I disagreed with Alex Jones.
	Oh, yeah, he's going to take us to the stars.
	That's our destiny is to the stars and all this other kind of this kind of new age occultism that Alex is into.
	But more than anything, Alex worships money and the people who have it.
	He cannot get enough billionaires around him.
	And so he always was, you know, sucking up to Musk.
	I knew this guy was a technocrat, a transhumanist, crony capitalist, all these things that I despise.
	And so it was always a source of conflict.
	And it wasn't just Alex.
	It was other people at Infowars that really loved Musk.
	Really loved him.
	Anyway, people that I was friends with, unlike Alex.
	Anyway, this guy is a megalomaniac nutcase.
	Says Winepress of Musk.
	Yeah. Transhumanist, Satanist, grifter, government crony, capitalist.
	Right on the opening page of XAI's website, it says...
	Discover the answers to life, the universe, and everything.
	Straight out of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, right?
	And then I guess if you click on it, it says 42.
	Deep thought. He's trying to co-op all of these sci-fi memes, you know, from Grok to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
	She says, technocrats are creating new gods for people to worship, and you should fear them.
	Fear these new gods that they are creating.
	They will be the high priests who will interpret all of this for you.
	Right? That's what they're setting themselves up to be.
	The high priests for these new gods.
	They will answer all your questions.
	They will come to your rescue.
	Part of the sacrifice and service to these gods is to relinquish your work and any labor of any kind.
	And she doesn't say it, but you have to surrender everything about yourself.
	Surrender all of your biometrics, your DNA, submit to whatever it says to do.
	And of course, that's going to be injections as well as just losing your job.
	If you think that skyrocketing layoffs are bad right now, just wait until AI and robotics flushes more jobs down the drain this year and in 2025.
	Well, here's the thing.
	Just as you should not trust or worship, because really, trust and worship, those are kind of interrelated.
	They're not exactly the same thing, but they are interrelated.
	You know, if worship really comes from a root word that says you're worthy, right?
	And I know that's been made fun of by Bill and Ted's.
	We're not worthy.
	We're not worthy. No, we aren't worthy.
	But God is worthy.
	He's trustworthy, actually.
	And worthy of worship.
	But not Trump, not politicians, not these technocrats, not the tools that they create and then try to present them.
	That's where the fraud begins, is where they present these tools fraudulently as if they were living beings.
	I've always said I don't think that's going to happen.
	And I know that it hasn't happened.
	Not even close to it.
	But they are pushing this out.
	And the fraudulent Lying politicians breathlessly treat all this stuff as if it were true.
	Just look at the way they behave when they bring in Sam Altman and people from Google, how they fall at their feet.
	It is disgusting to see this symbiotic relationship with technocracy and the politicians.
	You think we don't have a technocracy?
	Anyway, so maybe we should start calling it AP. Artificial politicians.
	That's what we're getting everywhere.
	So, Google. Before we get to the fact that somebody hacked them and released their secret sauce.
	I mean, this is bad.
	This is like somebody getting Colonel Sanders' recipe for his chicken.
	I mean, this is what they based the company on.
	That's what happens when you've got stuff on the internet.
	Nothing is secure.
	Nothing. But they also have other issues with their AI. And even the Washington Post says Google's weird AI answers hint at a fundamental problem with artificial intelligence.
	People are starting to realize the problems with it.
	And it's got a lot of problems.
	Like I said last week, how can this thing be so brilliant and so stupid at the same time?
	Well, because it's not thinking.
	It's not conscious.
	It doesn't understand questions.
	It's just matching patterns, folks.
	It's looking at your question as just a bunch of text, and it's matching that to a bunch of other stuff that it did.
	And just is able to go through volumes and volumes of stuff to produce these matches that astound people.
	But it's not thinking, it's not reasoning, it's not consciousness.
	And so at the same time that people are bowed down before it and Elon Musk is telling everybody it's going to become your new god, fear it.
	Last week, Google's new AI Overviews, that's a new thing that they put out there, part of their search engine, the future of online search, they said.
	Well, it may be the future of online search because Google's search has really become useless.
	Google was a search engine when it started.
	Now it has become a government tool to hide things.
	You know, like me, for example.
	I've seen that happen as well.
	But, you know, different narratives that they don't like.
	They can memory hole stuff by using their search engine.
	And so that is what it is.
	It's true purpose. So...
	As they introduced it, Washington Post said it spat out a slew of responses that ranged from the absurd to dangerous.
	No, geologists do not recommend eating one small rock per day.
	And please don't put glue in your pizza.
	So yeah, I like to have cheese and glue in my pizza.
	Oh, and by the way, if your blinker's not working, you don't need to check the blinker fluid.
	That was another thing that it told people.
	Check the blinker fluid.
	So it's putting a lot of stupid stuff out there.
	I don't know where it associated glue with pizza.
	It's a sign that the problems that artificial intelligence answers run deeper than what a simple software update can address, says the Washington Post.
	All large language models, by the very nature of their architecture, are inherently, irredeemably unreliable narrators.
	Said Grady Booch, an AI computer scientist himself.
	So think about that.
	They're inherently and irredeemably unreliable.
	And that's what the computer expert that I was trying to explain was saying last week.
	He said it's just a bunch of patterns that they're mixing together.
	It's how it can come up with something that is extremely brilliant at the same time it comes up with something that is absurdly stupid.
	And also hallucinate.
	Because they're inherently, irredeemably unreliable.
	They're designed to generate answers that sound coherent, not answers that are true.
	It is a massive, if you stop and think about it, the billions, tens of billions, hundreds of billions of dollars that are being spent by corporations and government all over the world to create a giant machine that lies to us.
	How satanic is that?
	The father of lies.
	Lucifer himself, the father of artificial intelligence.
	Father of lies.
	As such, they simply cannot be fixed.
	Because making things up is an inescapable property of how they work.
	Just matching these matrices of related terms.
	At least, he said, companies using large language models to answer questions can take measures to guard against its madness.
	He said, or they can throw enormous amounts of cheap human labor to plaster over its most egregious lies.
	And then there's a third option, which we've already seen.
	When they have these biases that are put in there, you know, when I first got it, I wanted to ask it about what I thought were important issues, things that big tech always lies to us about, things that big tech always and big government always hide from us.
	I asked it about climate, ask it about the pandemic, ask it about the vaccines and on and on all of these different issues that were the center of their lives.
	get some questions about the Federal Reserve if you want, you know?
	Whatever is at the center of the government lies and propaganda, it will lie to you.
	And that's the third thing.
	In other words, they can have a vast army of underpaid workers who are going to program this thing to plaster over its egregious lies, or they can pay this vast army of underpaid workers to To create egregious lies.
	And that third option is what I see them doing for the most part.
	The faulty answers are likely to persist as long as Google and other tech companies use generative AI to answer search queries, he predicted.
	It's going to persist.
	The lies are going to persist as long as there's this link between them and government.
	And that's not going to go away.
	Google has also made avoidable mistakes with its AI overview, such as pulling results to summarize from low-quality webpages, even from The Onion or Babylon Bee or whatever, right?
	I mean, Babylon Bee gets pretty close to the truth.
	And many times what they make a joke about becomes true the next day or the next week or the next month.
	Not so much the onion, but if it's going out there and searching satire sites, you know.
	Anyway, with AI overviews, Google is trying to address language models' well-known penchant for fabrication by having them cite and summarize specific sources.
	So what they're doing is they're saying, you know, we're going to focus on mainstream media.
	That way we won't have any lies or hallucinations.
	They never lie to you, right?
	Mainstream media. Maybe that's why the Washington Post is putting this in here, trying to encourage them to quote them more often, to magnify what the government and the intelligence services that lie to you, Operation Mockingbird, what they want you to hear.
	Think about it. You know, when they call about Operation Mockingbird, what makes a better Mockingbird, Walter Cronkite or artificial intelligence?
	Anyway, this isn't just a Google problem, she said.
	Other AI tools, such as OpenAI's ChatGPT or Perplexity, may not get the same answers wrong that Google does, but they might get others wrong that Google gets right.
	Mitchell said the AI to do this in a much more trustworthy way just doesn't exist yet.
	It's not trustworthy.
	The problem of hallucinations in which a language model makes up something that is not in its training data remains unsolved.
	Well, it's not making up stuff that's not in its training thing.
	It's actually coming back with, again, matrices that...
	At the very beginning of this, when it started sounding paranoid...
	And then when it said, and I'm going to watch you, or it had a crush on people and got really creepy about that kind of stuff, what was it doing?
	It was regurgitating some of the sci-fi stuff that we had out there.
	That's all it was. Nothing more than that.
	Don't fear it. It's not really doing that.
	In an interview with The Verge last week, Sundar Pichai of Google said, large language models' propensity for falsehoods is in some way an inherent feature.
	See, it's not a bug, it's a feature.
	It's a good thing they want that, is it?
	Which is why they aren't necessarily the best approach to always getting at factuality, he said.
	Well then, you know, what is the purpose of it?
	Again, what it is good at is creating artwork or something like that because it can have, you know, one foot in reality and its head in the fantasy realm.
	So, as we look at this, OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, Remember that little back and forth?
	I didn't really talk about it.
	It wasn't all that important, but people in the tech industry talked a great deal about the fact that there was a mutiny with the board of directors that they kicked him out.
	And that only lasted a few days, and then he got back in.
	And now two of those board members behind the ousting of Sam Altman from the board are speaking out.
	They said that the OpenAI CEO, Sam Altman, Created a toxic culture of lying.
	Yeah. Elon Musk, Sam Altman, their creations and their image.
	It's all about lying, folks.
	It's a massive deception.
	I can get anything across.
	Don't trust politicians.
	Don't trust artificial intelligence.
	In November, the OpenAI CEO was ousted before returning to the role a few days later.
	Two of the board members involved in the short-lived outing of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman back in November have finally broken their silence about what occurred in a new opinion piece.
	And, of course, we've seen evidence of this in the Scarlett Johansson thing, and they reference that as well.
	And so, which brings us back to Elon Musk.
	Which brings us back to one of his big lies, the cyber truck.
	And Jalopnik, I played for you last week, somebody else that put a thing out there showing how the hood can, you know, and the hood, there's no engine there.
	It's a trunk. They call it a frunk, a front trunk.
	How it can severely harm your finger.
	You know, it's heavy enough and sharp enough on the edges.
	Well, one Tesla owner's delivery experience ended with his wrist spurting blood.
	You know, we've all heard, said Jalopnik at the time, that the car wash bricked a Cybertruck, because I guess they didn't have it in car wash mode, and that voids your warranty as well.
	What happens when it rains?
	What happens when you go through a puddle?
	And I've seen that happen as well.
	I've seen somebody drive one of these things through a fairly shallow puddle, and it goes ka-chunk, ka-chunk, ka-chunk, stops, right?
	Makes really loud noises that I wouldn't have thought that an electric vehicle would make.
	And so we talked about the time a car wash bricked a Cybertruck or the frunk's taste for fingers or coolant leaks that aren't covered by the warranty, even if you've only driven 35 miles since taking delivery.
	But the most concerning problem people appear to be having is just how sharp the body panels can be.
	One new Cybertruck owner even ended up in the hospital after cutting his wrist During delivery.
	They have a forum for cyber truck owners.
	And many people have complained about things like sloppy, sloppy condition at delivery.
	Part of the windshield was dirty.
	It was covered in some kind of a film.
	The body panels had some sort of splattery overspray on them that doesn't wipe off.
	It just smears around.
	He said also the hood was already covered in small rust spots.
	Those are all issues that would upset anybody.
	Just spend $100,000 or more on a new car.
	But at the same time, it's also pretty typical for Cybertruck delivery.
	Same goes for when they're driving it later at about 60 miles an hour and a panel in the bed falls off or flies off or a panel in the front of it flies off.
	Those are all pretty standard. However, this is a little bit different.
	Two of the delivery advisor employees were with my wife and me as we walked around the truck inspecting it when they go to pick it up.
	I noticed a little pit and a divot or something on the tailgate.
	I licked my left thumb, tried to rub the spot to see if it was actually a divot or if it was some stray adhesive or something.
	Ouch! Crap, I jerked my arm back and the employees chuckled, jokingly saying, this thing can be dangerous.
	I too thought it was just a little slice, like a paper cut, until the blood started pouring.
	A lot of blood.
	It sliced his wrist open.
	I don't know how the, they got to photograph it, but I don't know how, you know, and he licks his finger and he starts wiping.
	I don't know how that engaged his wrist, but nevertheless, they took a picture of it.
	The good news is that the two Tesla employees were able to get him cleaned up and bandaged well enough to complete the delivery process.
	A couple hours later, though, he thought it had stopped bleeding enough to unwrap it.
	That was a mistake. He said, I unwrapped my wrist and boom, spurts of blood all over the kitchen island.
	Like Julia Child.
	Dude, cut the turkey!
	You know, Dan Eckhart, I'll never forget that thing.
	Anyway, left me here at the ER. We're not going to stand here and declare ourselves to be manufacturing experts, said Jalopnik, but it seems like you probably shouldn't sell a car with edges that are so sharp that somebody who grazes one of the panels with her arm ends up in the hospital.
	That just seems like a bad idea to us.
	Then again, what do a bunch of internet writers know?
	This could just be yet another example of Elon Musk's extraordinary genius that we're just too unintelligent to comprehend.
	That's right. You know, whenever you think that Musk or Trump are doing something wrong, you're the problem.
	It's actually 5D chess.
	Well, we're going to take a quick break.
	Before we do, thank you very much, Brandon Bennett, for the tip on Rothfin.
	Sorry, I missed matching as I listened to Daylate, so I matched myself.
	Thank you very much.
	I really do appreciate that.
	And I really do appreciate, as I said, we got about a week's worth of...
	And one day, and it was really, really needed.
	I just don't push it enough to remind people, but as we get to the end of the month, and we're down 50%, 60% or whatever, and so really do appreciate it.
	We're going to take a quick break, and we'll be right back.
	Let's do something in honor of Klaus Schwab here.
	Thank you. Here's a little song I wrote.
	You might want to hear it in your pod.
	You know nothing. And be happy.
	Ain't got no cash.
	Ain't got no car.
	But 24 booster shots in your arm.
	Oh, nothing. You can't even buy s*** in the store because of your low social credit score.
	Oh, nothing.
	Be happy.
	You owe nothing.
	Whoa!
	And be happy.
	Be happy and eat the bugs.
	Using free speech to free minds.
	you It's the David Knight Show.
	Before they can make you eat the bugs, they've got to get you to sign up for the digital ID. That's the end game right there, boy.
	If they get us with this global digital ID, we're in big trouble.
	And, of course, that's another thing that Sam Altman has been focused on, his WorldCoin.
	A global coin. They all have these fantasies of being the person who controls one currency to rule them all.
	Zuckerberg as well, right? Zuckerberg had the Libra coin.
	He put out a white paper, tried to get governments to sign on to it.
	And one little line in the middle of his white paper laid the whole thing out.
	He said, this could be a de facto global ID. Don't you want me to do it?
	Come on, give me the power.
	I will give this back to you.
	So it's all about that. And Sam Altman sees that path to power as well.
	You know, I'll do a cryptocurrency, and I can make this a global ID. And the way that they lure people in, of course, is with a little trinket.
	You know, just like, go get your vaccine, and we'll give you a free donut.
	How about that? Is that good?
	Okay, well, we'll make that go up a little bit higher.
	So they do that for the, first they do it and don't give you anything, right?
	They just sell you fear.
	Well, for the people that the fear didn't work with, they try a little bit of a bribe.
	How about a donut? And if you hold out, the price keeps going up.
	They keep offering you more and more.
	Eventually, you get a Republican governor, DeWine, telling people, oh, you know, you get enrolled in this lottery here, and you could win a million dollars.
	Or you could die. Or you could be disabled the rest of your life.
	And so WorldCoin works that way.
	He's got a little bit of an orb. He's got this creepy orb that you look into.
	It's almost like he designed it from that stupid thing they had in the first Star Wars.
	Remember that? They got Princess Leia in there.
	They got this floating orb that's coming in from Darth Vader to the princess.
	And it's got a needle, a hypodermic needle.
	That's perfect. A perfect symbol right there.
	Well, this little thing that he's designed will scan your eye, and then it'll give you some trivial amount of his cryptocurrency and put you in a global database.
	Digital ID is the newest marvel of modern ingenuity, poised to revolutionize life in Australia.
	This article from Epoch Times.
	But fear not, for the digital ID is not mandatory.
	Well, not yet, anyway.
	It's just like the vaccine that wasn't mandatory until it was.
	Will this digital firebrand rest in the hands of businesses?
	Do you want a free sausage with your ID? All these little tiny incentives.
	Then they move to existential coercion, and eventually they knock on your door and drag you out Force it into your arm or they drag you out and have an army of cops who take you to the ground and put a mask on your face or something as they already did in Australia.
	But, you know, coming to your house and dragging you out and forcefully sticking it into your arm.
	Alan Dershowitz, the pal of Donald Trump, said, yeah, that's what needs to be done.
	They're not doing that, but I would argue that we should do that.
	I would defend that before the Supreme Court and I would win.
	You know, the sad thing is he's probably right.
	Not that it is in agreement with the Constitution.
	That's not necessary to win at the Supreme Court, is it?
	Get your digital ID here, the signs will scream.
	What's that? A large fry with every digital ID? How utterly irresistible.
	One might even wonder if this newfound digital identity could be the key to saving your dear old grandmother.
	Why, of course. Of course it will be.
	The bureaucrats will be rubbing their hands with glee at the thought of a new streamlined system to manage, and just imagine the possibilities for surveillance.
	Why, they'll be able to track your every move with the precision of a bloodhound on the scent or on a trail.
	So there's five reasons to support digital ID, but here are our top five.
	Number one, imagine how many bank accounts you can open.
	But then, of course, there'll be fees, and all of them will be taxed, and all of them will be potentially shut down should you dare to share a cheeky meme about our fearless leader.
	Number two, you can help out the hackers.
	Yeah, let's help government send all of our industries offshore.
	Not just cars, toothbrushes, and chocolates.
	It's time to help the hackers in China and Russia, of course.
	So that's the problem I have with all the digital stuff.
	You know, we're going to talk about here coming up how Google got its secret sauce stolen.
	And CIA got its secret sauce stolen.
	Vault 7. I mean, you know, what does the CIA do?
	CIA, one of their core things is to break into other governments' computer systems and mess with them or steal information or whatever.
	Well, their tool to do that, Vault 7, Where they could hack into these systems and disguise themselves so they could look like any government friend or foe and pin it on somebody else.
	You know, false flag, cyber attack.
	That was Vault 7. That was released.
	And, of course, you've had people hack into and get the database of the Pentagon and other government employees.
	There isn't anything.
	That is safe. We've had the big bank systems and we've had the credit system, the credit people.
	They've had, what was that? I think it was Equifax.
	Were they the ones that got hacked?
	Hundreds of millions of people. Anyway, there isn't anything that's online that is safe.
	This is why I don't trust crypto fundamentally.
	Don't trust it. Anyway, so now we'll be able to help out the hackers who are offshore as well.
	And it can sew division.
	Yeah, digital IDs will pick up right where the voice left off, sewing division in its own special way.
	So there's a number of reasons to support it.
	And again, these are the top five.
	Number four, what we're really after is a vaccine passport.
	Let's be honest, it's not a digital identity that we really want, but a vaccine passport.
	Or is it the other way around?
	Was it that they really wanted a vaccine passport?
	Or did they want to use a vaccine passport to get the digital identity?
	I think it's that way around.
	I think whether it's that or whether it's giving you a digital identity so they can measure how much meat you've had this month, or if you've had any, maybe you shouldn't have any.
	I think all of those things, that is the real thing that they want.
	They've got different MacGuffins to make you think that the digital ID is necessary, but I think that the digital ID itself is really what they're after.
	It's one of the reasons why I would never trust Vivek the snake, as Dr.
	Shiva calls him. I call him Rama Smarmy.
	He smarmed his way in with one of the worst of the governors, Democrat or Republican, DeWine, the guy that was offering people a chance to win a million dollars.
	And he weaseled his way in there so that he could try to get a contract to do surveillance, to tag and to track us.
	Oh yeah, he's a libertarian for sure.
	Anyway, number five, let's extend this digital revolution to animals and food.
	Why stop at humans?
	And that is exactly what they're doing right now.
	Even at the very beginning of all this, oh, we got bird flu.
	Well, let's look at the cows then.
	And let's look at the ground beef.
	And let's look at the milk.
	Let's not look at the eggs or the chicken meat.
	We'll look at the cow stuff.
	How ridiculous. And of course, their immediate solution was, well, if it's a dairy cow, you're not going to be able to transport it across state lines.
	You know, that's the federal government's territory.
	Unless we can tag and track them.
	And that's all a prelude to vaccinating them.
	And to make sure that we don't have access to it.
	To make the meat rare. To make it expensive.
	That's what that is all about.
	So, Google search.
	Over 14,000 ranking features have been leaked.
	This is their secret sauce.
	As I said, nothing is secure.
	And they're refusing to talk about it, but other people are talking about it.
	And one of the things that they realized is, guess what?
	Google was lying about a lot of different things.
	As they had people whose specialty was search engine optimization and other things, they said, well, we think these are the things that Google is looking at.
	And Google would deny it.
	And now we see that when Google denied that these people were catching on to some aspects of their search engine, they were lying to people.
	Who would have thought?
	Google's search don't be evil, just lie.
	They don't see lying as evil.
	Google search algorithm is perhaps the most consequential system on the internet, dictating what sites live and die and what content on the web looks like.
	But how exactly Google ranks websites has long been a mystery, pieced together by journalists, researchers, and people working in search engine optimization.
	The leaked documents touch on topics like what kind of data Google collects and uses, which sites Google elevates for sensitive topics, like elections.
	Maybe they should look at how they censor.
	Anyway, how Google handles small websites and more.
	Some information on the documents appears to be in conflict with public statements by Google representatives.
	According to the people who looked at this in detail, Rand Fishkin, who worked for a search engine optimization in it for more than a decade, and another guy who partnered with him to look at this information, he said, I know the term lied is harsh.
	But it's the only accurate word to use here.
	While I don't necessarily fault Google's public representatives for protecting their proprietary information, I do take issue with their efforts to actively discredit people in the marketing, tech, and journalism worlds who have presented reproducible discoveries.
	But just think about this when you think about a search engine, right?
	As I've said before, people are starting to see some of the connection of In-Q-Tel and these other venture capital firms that created the companies that run and create the internet and built it up and the social media companies and the search engine companies and so forth.
	This is all coming from DARPA. It's all coming from the intelligence community.
	And, you know, when we talk about search, that is really the key.
	It's another key that shows you this connection to spies and to government and how they wanted to use all of this in the way, in the format of the Internet.
	And of course, it's not just the tech companies, as we see the car companies and every other company adding more and more of this spy tech to their products.
	Ford Motor Company has filed a patent for facial recognition entry system.
	So again, you won't be able to get into your car unless you surrender your biometrics to it.
	Well, that'd be something very useful and profitable for Ford to sell to governments or to other people.
	It truly is amazing to see this all of business, all of government hard press about getting biometrics.
	You know, just last week we were talking about Visa, the credit card company.
	And how they were saying, we're going to do away with cards.
	You know, your face will be your card.
	Your smile will be how you purchase things.
	Well, your face and your smile are going to be how you get into your Ford car, perhaps.
	A patent filing from Ford Motor Company for a facial recognition vehicle entry system has been published.
	This technology utilizes both biometric and non-biometric fallback authentication method to allow access to a vehicle.
	Well, it's coming. And these older cars are really, really valuable.
	But they have a very long-term program, don't they?
	Very long-term.
	Back during the Obama administration, when they started offering people cash for clunkers, they weren't clunkers.
	They were solid, analog cars that didn't have any digital components in them.
	Get rid of those. Now that we've got all the new cars, we've got computer stuff in them somewhere or the other, right?
	They wanted to get as many of those off the road as they could.
	And so we need to understand where they're going with this stuff.
	So that we...
	First they gave you cash for the clunkers.
	Now they're going to take your cash and give you a global ID. We'll be right back.
	Music You're
	listening to The David Knight Show.
	Well, let's talk about school.
	Because that really is a seminal part of our problems, isn't it?
	Because it is being used like a seminary for socialism.
	And it's very good news for many of us to see what is happening in Florida.
	In Florida, Ron DeSantis, who I've got to say, he has not been perfect, far from it, but he has caught on quickly and he's been one of the first to really identify a problem and then to do something about it other than just holding press conferences or hearings or something.
	And so what they have done in Florida is to increase school choice, and it is really having an impact, especially on some of the most liberal of the school districts.
	But there is a trap when we talk about school choice.
	You need to always understand that the way the government gets control of you, again, is by money.
	And it's amazing to me how few people really understand this, especially conservatives.
	Look at the MAGA movement.
	They can't, even today, understand or will not come into terms with the fact that Trump, the buck stops with him because the buck starts with him.
	If he's paying people to do this, if he's putting out orders, incentivizing it, and then giving people money to do it, Bribing them to do certain things, and then eventually Biden comes in and blackmails people with it, he's actually responsible for it.
	And whenever you take money from the government, it may come and it may not have any strings at all when it is first given to you, right?
	They want to give you this.
	It's free money. Why wouldn't you take it, right?
	And yet the problem is, is that It will, you become dependent upon it.
	As you become dependent upon it, those strings are silently and imperceptibly woven into that cache.
	And then they start saying, well, you do it, I'm going to pull it out of your pocket.
	You do what I say, or that cash is gone.
	Oh, I need that now.
	I've become dependent on that. That's the way they take over institutions.
	That's the way they take over schools.
	That's the way they get their orders executed for a pandemic lockdown or masks or all the rest of this stuff.
	Well, school choice is a good thing, says Twitchy.
	Of course, the left despises school choice.
	And all of our children belong to them, they think.
	Anything that removes children from public schools is automatically the enemy.
	It takes a village to raise a child.
	It takes a public school system to educate a child, not a family.
	This is also why they hate homeschooling.
	The thought of parents educating their children in ways that the left doesn't approve of is anathema to them.
	Politico says, school choice programs have been wildly successful under DeSantis.
	Now public schools might close.
	Oh, no. Oh, no.
	Don't start to bring in a market incentive here.
	And again, at the beginning, it's just fine.
	You give people government money, and you say, now you can choose how you're going to spend the money.
	Oh, people like that, and it works at first.
	But then the government decides it's going to put some conditions or some future governor decides they're going to put some conditions on there and they're going to take away your ability to educate your child if you don't comply with those.
	More importantly, it won't use it with the individual parents.
	It will say to these charter schools, Now we want you to push common core or critical race theory or whatever the fad of the day is for their degeneracy and their Marxism.
	And if that school doesn't do it, that school is not going to be able to get the money.
	We've seen this over and over again. Why do you have Hillsdale, for example, does not accept any students who have any federal loans?
	Because it's gotten to the point where the government says, well, if you've got any students who have federal loans, unless you teach them what we tell you to teach them, we're going to not give these students their federal loans.
	We're going to pull their loans, pull their tuition.
	And so Hillsdale made the decision, and there's one or two other schools that do that as well, They made the decision we're not going to be reliant on federal government money because it always comes with strings attached.
	And they want to ultimately control what we teach, and they do it by this deceptive method.
	And that's the way it'll work at the local level, too.
	I don't like this whole charter school model.
	As a matter of fact, when I was involved in the Libertarian Party in North Carolina, we came up with an idea for how we would get around that.
	And the idea was that we would offer to people, not government money, but it would be kind of the same model that you see for people who donate money to a charity or to a church or something like that, the 501c3 donations and everything, where you recognize that and people can get a tax deduction.
	And we said, well, let's give people a state tax deduction if they give money to a child for education.
	And it's not money that is flowing through the government, so the government doesn't get to tell them what they're going to teach religiously or socially or politically or any of that other kind of stuff.
	Just as they don't get a chance.
	If somebody writes off a donation to a church, that means that the church doesn't have to teach what the government wants.
	Unfortunately, many of them will.
	They're afraid of losing their 501c3 status because of the Johnson Amendment.
	The Johnson Amendment is not an amendment to the Constitution abridging the free exercise of religion or freedom of speech.
	Instead, it was a bluff that was put in there by Lyndon Johnson where he got the IRS to put in an amendment to their code because, again, we have regulation without representation.
	And they put that in there and said, well, you're going to lose your 501c3 tax status.
	But churches that have challenged that And the IRS backed down.
	They directly challenged it.
	I've talked about this as well.
	And it was just two or three churches that recorded a sermon, sent it in to the IRS and said, now you do something about it.
	You threatened people. Let's see you do something about it.
	I want to have a test case.
	We're going to take this in and see if your regulation can stand up to the First Amendment.
	And just like Jeff Sessions on drug prohibition of marijuana, they backed off.
	They backed off. These people are bluffing with all this stuff.
	And whenever somebody says the Constitution is a dead thing, the Constitution doesn't matter.
	And I talked about that in an article from a guy out of Australia.
	Well, he's absolutely wrong about that.
	I've seen Jeff Sessions back off.
	I've seen the IRS back off.
	When they don't want to challenge the Constitution?
	Because the Constitution and the Bill of Rights that they swear to is the basis of their authority.
	And it's foundational.
	And if you are willing to challenge them on it, they will back off.
	So, the model that we came up with was to say, well, let's allow anyone to get a tax deduction or credit or something like that.
	And they can do that by donating money to any child.
	They don't have to be related to the child.
	You could have the family would register to make sure that if you've got a really cute little kid, they don't go out and use the kid to get tremendous amounts of money.
	Everybody wants to give this kid some money or something.
	No, you would limit it from that standpoint, but that would be the only control that the government would have in it.
	otherwise they would have no involvement in the content of what was being given.
	Just like they don't have any involvement in the content of what's being said in these churches, even if they're 501c. These people voluntarily give them, you know, they're afraid of it, they're intimidated by it, but they don't have to be afraid of what they say in church.
	They can get political in church and not lose their 501c3 thing, and we've got the proof of it.
	You know, they first did it with just two or three.
	They did nothing about it, so they did a couple of dozen, and they did several dozen.
	They did it over a period of years, and the IRS never, never took the bait to challenge it.
	Anyway, Politico is saying, well, some of Florida's largest school districts are facing staggering enrollment declines.
	Good. And they're grappling with the possibility of campus closures as dollars follow the increasing number of parents opting out of traditional public schools.
	And when we're looking at the amount of money that is here, You know, on average around, I think it's national average, it's about $15,000 per year per student, as one person said.
	If you had a teacher who taught 10 students and got the same amount of money that they're currently getting, that one teacher would have a salary of $150,000 and a classroom size that was only 10.
	And that teacher would be working directly for the parents.
	But again, I don't like the government funding anything.
	I think the idea is to give tax credits, deductions, or whatever to other people to keep it out of the clutches of the government.
	That is a very dangerous thing.
	People need to understand how dangerous government cash is.
	And this article says, well, notice that Politico has zero curiosity about why parents are opting out of traditional public schools.
	So the pandemic opened up a lot of eyes to the insanity that goes on in the classroom.
	And I said this.
	And what goes on in their child's classroom?
	That was a key thing.
	For years, we've talked about, well, look at how bad education is, and we've got these programs nationally like Common Core and CRT and things like that.
	Oh, yeah, but that's not happening in my kid's school.
	It's like, yeah, it is. You just don't know it.
	Or you could even go to the state level.
	Forget about the federal level.
	Go to the state level. Or go to the school board level.
	Or even go to the same school.
	And you could show how these things are being taught.
	And you'd always get the response, yeah, yeah, yeah, but not in my child's classroom.
	Then during the pandemic, they could see that, yes, it was actually being done in their child's classroom.
	That's what changed. People refuse to accept the idea that this was actually something that was happening in their classroom.
	Part of that is that they think school is like it was when they were a kid.
	School is not like it was when you were a kid.
	As a matter of fact, when Karen went into teaching, she started teaching in her early 20s.
	She hadn't been out of school but, you know, four or five years or whatever.
	And it had already radically changed.
	And that was back in the late 70s.
	In the early 80s. So, you know, it is rapidly changing.
	It has absolutely no resemblance to anything that any parent ever attended because the rate of change has gone exponential.
	They do not want your kids to get a good education.
	Of course, they want power control.
	They want to reward their buddies and the teachers union with big paydays at the expense of taxpayers.
	But as I said, folks, even in North Carolina, in the early days when homeschooling was tiny, tiny, tiny, and you had Democrats in control of both houses and the governorship, and you had teachers unions pushing these Democrats to ban homeschooling, we had a major letter-writing campaign from homeschoolers.
	And when I say major, you know, got everybody involved, but it was still a small number of people.
	But with everybody writing, it looked like there was a huge groundswell, and these Democrat politicians backed off and didn't do it for their union buddies.
	So public schools are closing as school choice takes off.
	One person said the schools, the public schools, the government schools are a relic of the past, a monopolized system where you've only got one option.
	And so... Again, these charter and private schools that are there, the danger with them is the fact that the money is running through the government, which means the strings are running through the government.
	But I thought it was interesting, the districts that are closing in Florida.
	DeVall County Public School District, the sixth largest school district in Florida.
	The 20th largest school district in the country is now considering closing different schools due to dramatic dips in enrollment.
	Another one, Broward County Public Schools, where they had the big shooting.
	Was it Marjory Stone, Douglas Stone, or something like that?
	Parkland, right? Parkland shooting.
	That was in Broward County.
	Florida's second largest school district.
	Evaluating plans to close up to 42 campuses over the next few years.
	The Miami-Dade County has also experienced a substantial decline in enrollment of the roughly 68,000 privately enrolled students from 2019 to 2023.
	More than a third of them came from Duval, Broward, and Miami counties.
	So that's where the exodus is the biggest.
	And these really big school boards, very bureaucratic, and very leftist in their leanings.
	As one person said, if your product is better, you'll be fine.
	The problem is they are a relic of the past, as I said.
	A monopolized system where you only have one option.
	But when the parents have options, they vote with their feet.
	I've said before, you know, there's a guy who's very good at...
	He was an actor who did Thomas Jefferson character.
	And he worked at Williamsburg, Virginia.
	Colonial Williamsburg.
	The place was set up by the Rockefellers, and boy, it has really gone off the rails in terms of political correctness, CRT, and all the rest of this stuff.
	But we used to like to go, and we would go, and we'd see some of these things.
	It's a lot worse now, but we would go, and we'd see some of these things, and it would get me fired up to talk to my kids about real history.
	So it's very motivating for me to go.
	And I would sometimes engage them directly.
	And Jefferson would talk about the Jefferson character, would talk about the thing that he was most proud of, the real Thomas Jefferson was most proud of, was his moving to have religious freedom.
	To move away from compelling people to attend a particular church that was affiliated with the state.
	They would pick one church, and you had to, in many cases, attend that church as well as give money to it.
	But even in the most enlightened states at the time of colonial Williamsburg, even if they didn't require your attendance, they required you to pay for it.
	And I saw a direct analogy to homeschooling.
	Even if I don't have to attend the state seminary on socialism, I still am required to pay for that religion.
	And now it's the LGBT stuff as well.
	And so he said, you know, it's an abomination to force people to pay for something that violates their conscience, that they're opposed to.
	And so I would always engage him to engage the audience and say, so how is that different if the government were to run schools How is that any different from the government running the churches?
	Because they're setting up a worldview.
	It's a part of it, a part of that school.
	They're telling you what is good, what is bad.
	It comes with a worldview.
	It comes with good things to do and bad things to do.
	And that really is what the issue is.
	As long as we've got compulsory funding of these schools, and as long as the money is running through the states, even if it's ultimately going to a private school or going to a charter school, they are still going to pull the strings and tell that school what to teach about the things that are truly important to them.
	So that is the key issue, I believe.
	Florida public schools, including Duvall County schools, have faced scrutiny for promoting unpopular social causes like critical race theory and barring graduation ceremonies from being held in churches.
	In February 2023, Duvall County had to cancel a survey that asked students as young as 10 years old about their sexual activity and their gender identity at 10.
	In 2022, five public school boards were flipped by conservatives in Florida.
	And so, you know, what you see from these people begins in kindergarten, and it goes all the way up through college and graduation.
	I don't know if you've seen this clip or not, but these are people who just graduated from NYU. Talking about what they majored in.
	Listen to this. My name is Jacob and my concentration is environmental science and sustainable business.
	Hi, my name is Lex and my concentration is the performance of self.
	Hi, I'm Gabrielle and my concentration is creative direction production and narrative through the arts, performance, and written work.
	Hi, my name is Karina Gomes and my concentration is in journalism and Latin American studies with an emphasis in human rights, collective memory, and political violence.
	Hi, my name is Stephanie Lee, and I studied the sociology of environmental communication.
	Hi, my name is Reed, and I study music business and gender studies.
	Hi, my name is Dominique, and I studied care politics with a minor in disability studies.
	My name is Elliot Wright, and my concentration is art as a social mechanism.
	Hi, I'm Georgia and my concentration is Dramatic Writing and Theatrical Adaptation.
	My name is Noah Loyacano and my concentration is Equilibrium or Negotiated Paradox.
	Hi, my name is Sophie Lopez and my concentration is titled Queering and Decolonizing Theater Practice.
	Hi, my name is Maya, and my concentration is journalism, postcolonial studies, and psychoanalysis.
	Hi, I'm Eloise. I'm graduating with a concentration in philosophy of science and theater.
	My name is Amina, and my concentration is titled The Criminal Mind, which is surrounded on criminology and applied psychology.
	Hi, my name is Juliana.
	My concentration is international business and fashion through sustainable development.
	Yay! Is anybody there going to get a job?
	I really missed out not going to college.
	I know. I told you.
	I could have bullied so many people.
	It would have been great. It was just a couple of weeks ago.
	I showed that clip, and I think we talked about it.
	I think I showed the chart. They had it major by major, and they looked at the present value of your college tuition investment.
	Now, this is assuming that Biden doesn't try to buy your votes by forgiving your college debt.
	But we looked at it, and engineering was the number one.
	And then at the very bottom were these types of things, art and political science and things like that.
	They had a negative return on your investment.
	I mean, you're never going to get the money back that you paid into it.
	But, of course, these people do not understand the terms return on investment or present value of an investment.
	I'm sure they would not understand that.
	Yeah, that was, I don't know.
	I mean, it's just, how do you even evaluate this?
	How do you even talk to them?
	I mean, what is truth? Is there any such thing as truth?
	They don't know about any of that stuff.
	What a waste!
	Except it's not a waste, you see.
	What'll happen is, I bet you most of those people wind up getting a job with government.
	Government's going to be employing more than half of the people, if it isn't already.
	And those are exactly the types of people that the government wants to put in the bureaucracies to rule over you.
	How do you like that? Well, Thank you for the tip, Michelle Obama, on Rockfin.
	A lot of Bible talk in the chat, David.
	Please recite a Bible verse of your choice.
	Well, I'd say, fear not.
	I have redeemed you.
	I've called you by your name.
	How about that? That's one of the ones I keep going back to, because we always need to fight against the fear, don't we?
	And we also need to understand that we are a gift from the Father to the Son as a Christian.
	No one comes to me unless the Father draws them, drags them to Him.
	And so if I look at this and I understand that it's not me who's doing this, that it is God who is doing this, that is the thing that was really essential for me as a Christian to stick through it.
	Not even just the fear of what we are involved in in everyday life, but the understanding that I have, that security is based on nothing that I did.
	It's based on everything that Christ did.
	That I am a gift to the Son.
	And he isn't going to lose me.
	He doesn't lose his car keys if he had a car.
	He doesn't lose any of that stuff, okay?
	So those are some of the things.
	I'll give you something to chew on you guys can talk about.
	The Great Escape from Government Schools.
	This is by Jim Bovard.
	He did it about a month ago.
	I've interviewed Jim Bovard once.
	Guard Goldsmith, when he hosts the show, he has him on a lot of times.
	I'm sure Guard has him on Liberty Conspiracy frequently.
	Jim Bovard is a great writer.
	Very funny. And what I thought was good about this, and I thought it was appropriate to talk about at this point in time, When people are talking about exiting the school system, Jim talks about that, but he also talks about his personal experience in the schools.
	And I thought that was kind of interesting because he and I, he's one year younger than I am, so we're about the same age, and we had pretty much the same experience in school.
	Here's what he has to say. He says, after enduring Bolshevik school shutdowns during the COVID pandemic, many students concluded that school itself must be Bolshevik.
	That's my euphemism for the BS word.
	And have skipped attending classes.
	Government bureaucrats are panicking since subsidies are tied to the number of students' butts in chairs every day.
	That's one of the reasons why they've got so, I guess we could say, anal about your attendance.
	Flunk you if you don't show up every day.
	One of the guys that worked for us was a salutatorian, number two, academically in his class.
	It was a pretty big school that was there.
	And he got genuinely sick.
	And he was very close to having them fail him in spite of his grades because he wasn't there for enough days.
	That's how crazy they have become about all this stuff.
	Anyway, chronic absenteeism has almost doubled amongst public school students, rising from 15% pre-pandemic to 26% currently.
	There is a sense of, well, if I don't show up, would people even miss the fact that I'm not here?
	They were the ones who told us not to come, right?
	Same thing that's happening to many of these churches.
	We're going to shut down. That's the way we love our neighbor, is to shut church down.
	Okay, well, you don't believe any of this stuff, then, do you?
	So why would I come back?
	The arbitrary, counterproductive school shutdowns destroyed the trust that many families had in the government education system.
	He said, and we always hear, as the New York Times has told us, students can't learn if they aren't in school.
	He says, oh yeah?
	So kids are not enduring daily indoctrination to doubt their own genders?
	So kids' heads are not being dunked into the latest social justice buckets of fear, loathing, and guilt?
	So kids are not being drilled with faulty methods of learning math to satisfy the latest common core catechism?
	A shortage of indoctrination is not the same as a shortage of education.
	He said, the tremendous waste of time in the American system must result from the fact that there is so much time to waste.
	That was said 70 years ago by University of Chicago President Robert Hutchins.
	Boy, isn't that true? The tremendous waste of time in the American education system is a result of the fact that there is so much time to waste.
	The people I know at home school, they usually get it done...
	In the morning, before noon, and then the kids have time off to pursue their own interests or to play or whatever.
	And they do as well or better academically than the kids who are there all day.
	It's that forced attendance and the long and longer hours that they've made them longer.
	That's the thing that really grinds people down.
	John Taylor Gatto, who many people, he had a lot of things to say about school.
	He was the New York Teacher of the Year back in 1991.
	A big, big critic of government schools.
	He didn't like the way it was set up.
	He said, you ring a bell and people stop what they're doing and they've got to go to another location and do something completely different?
	He goes, that's no way to learn anything.
	You can't keep your focus on something.
	He would take his kids out and they would do very unusual things.
	Field trips and things like that.
	That's how he became Teacher of the Year.
	He resigned and became a critic of the school system.
	He said government schooling kills the family by monopolizing the best times of childhood.
	Well, isn't that true?
	I don't know anybody, even the people who've had their kids turn out in ways that they didn't want them to turn out.
	There's no guarantee of results.
	Again, you know, we don't, it is God who is going to draw our kids, not us.
	We can't establish that relationship.
	We can try to facilitate that.
	But even if their kids don't turn out the way they want, I don't know any parents who regret homeschooling because of the time that they had with their kids.
	He says also government schools teach disrespect for both the home and the parents. And boy haven't we seen that in spades with the hatred for that NFL kicker when he talked about home and family and children.
	He said government schooling was the most brain-deadening experience in my life. See that's what I said. He and I had the same experiences. Early in childhood I relished reading even more than peanut butter but I was obliged to put down books and listen to teachers slowing my mental intake by 80 or 90 percent.
	By the time I got into fourth grade, my curiosity was fading.
	Now, see, I had a sister who was about a decade older than me.
	She was in college. And I would grab her college textbooks and I would take them to school because the stuff we had was really stupid.
	And then they put me, and when I got into junior high school, they put me in an advanced science class and it just killed all my curiosity because the teacher was so incredibly bad and stupid and authoritarian.
	I just really hated it.
	And then I had, my mother was not quite at the level of Carl Hess, who became a speechwriter for Goldwater, the guy who said extremism in defense of liberty is no vice, moderation in pursuit of justice is no virtue, that guy. He was one of the co-founders of the Libertarian Party, he was a ponytail libertarian who was a real rebel.
	In the 30s, in the 30s, his mom homeschooled him.
	And she would move from jurisdiction to jurisdiction to escape the truancy officer.
	Because it wasn't legal.
	Well, my mom wasn't quite up to that.
	She found a more passive way to allow that.
	When I was not interested, when I had something that I wanted to do, she would give me a pass and not have me go to school.
	I was still able to get an A, but my English teacher was so upset that she knocked me down a letter grade.
	The kids that I was there with were very upset about that because the grades were very important to them.
	This is, again, another advanced class, and these kids live and died by the grades, and I really didn't care about grades.
	You want to put a gold star on my paper?
	You want to put it on my forehead?
	It really doesn't make any difference to me.
	And so I said, I don't care.
	I said, it's an indictment of her that I can skip more than half of her classes and still get an A in her course.
	Why am I even here? I could skip even more classes and still get an A. It doesn't matter.
	She's got nothing to say.
	Why am I even here?
	Get me out of this place.
	James Bovard says, Between my junior and senior years in high school, I lazed away a summer on the payroll of the Virginia Highway Department.
	He said, I came to recognize that public schools were permeated by the same ethos of the highway department.
	Teachers leaned on badly written textbooks instead of on shovels.
	Going through the motions and staying awake until quitting time was all that mattered.
	Learning became equated with drudgery and submission to bored taskmasters with chalk and erasers.
	And then came the wooden stakes hammered home in English class.
	Devoting two months to dissecting Hamlet made me damn all Danes, courtiers, and psychoanalysts.
	The week spent on Mark Twain's The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County made me lust to cast all frogs and folksy 19th century authors into hell.
	The six weeks blighted by Paradise Lost convinced me that Samuel Johnson was right when he said none ever wished it longer than it is.
	Rather than being a source of wisdom and inspiration, we're mental castor oil, something to forcibly imbibe solely to emit the right answers on the exams.
	And let me say one of the best anecdotes For your bad experiences in school, where they took some of the best products of minds in the past and turned them somehow into some of the worst drudgery that could be imposed on your mind, the best anecdote to that is actually teaching your kids.
	Because then you can get into the good, go back and revisit some of that stuff.
	I spent years mentally idling while teachers droned on.
	As long as the government provided a seat in a classroom, it had fulfilled its obligations.
	There was never any inkling that later in life I would need to mobilize every iota of talent I might possess.
	My brain was like the mythical village of Brigadoon.
	It showed up once every year or two to take a scholastic aptitude test and then vanished into the mist.
	Teachers chronically noted on my permanent record, not performing up to potential.
	Mysteries never cease.
	As long as I didn't fail a grade, I slipped in under the radar.
	Yeah, that was it as well.
	I heard that so much from my teacher that I had kids writing that in my yearbook.
	Not performing up to potential.
	Anyway, I was never a chronic truant until my family moved to a college town just before the start of my senior year in high school.
	I missed practically as many classes I attended that year, scampering over to the nearby Virginia Tech campus.
	Yeah. When I was in my senior year, I was in the band room six out of seven class hours.
	I would be a band room assistant, or I would do this or do that.
	They made up classes for me just to hang out in there.
	The only thing I took in my senior year was English.
	I paid for it later when I went into engineering.
	I had to do double duty to catch up on math, but it wouldn't have done me any good to go to the math classes when I was there.
	It just would have turned me off forever, I guess.
	But, you know, somehow, nobody can understand how I graduated because there were a lot of required classes that I didn't take.
	Fortunately, the bureaucracy was not as efficient as it is today, I guess.
	After my class absences reached a certain threshold, I was sent to the school counselor, a perfectly coiffed 30-ish guy with an air of rectitude thick enough to cut with a knife.
	He asked, why am I skipping out?
	And I said school was mostly bunk.
	He said, if I could pass classes without enduring the Chinese water torture monotony, why would I stick around?
	The counselor declared my attitude unacceptable and urged me to get involved with the student council to try to fix things.
	Okay, so I should fizzle away my time propping up the equivalent of the Vichy regime in Nazi-occupied France?
	McCartney's band-on-the-run line stuck inside these four walls, sent inside forever, kept echoing in my head.
	The entire system was detention, especially the final year or two.
	As a matter of fact, I had said it before, my friend went to West Point, we had come back home and I'd take him around and introduce him to some people that I'd met since then.
	I would say, you know, this is my friend's name.
	I said, we were incarcerated together for three years in a state institution.
	That would always annoy him, because I saw it as a prison, and he wanted people to know that he was not in prison with me.
	We were not in juvenile detention.
	But, yeah, it's the same experience that I had.
	Anyway, he says, boredom vanished from my life almost completely.
	On the day that I graduated from high school, my mental vitality surged after I no longer lost the bulk of my days, fulfilling seat time requirements.
	Week by week, I began to regain the love of reading that I'd lost years earlier, and that made all the difference for my life and for my writing.
	Yeah, that was right.
	It was with me that engineering finally engaged my mind.
	He said, Have been sacrificed for whatever fad sweeps political and educational activists.
	The best solution is to enable as many children as possible to exit government schools as soon as possible.
	Well, that's absolutely right.
	Tony Arterman is ready to join us.
	It's going to be interesting. We've got a lot to talk about in terms of what has happened financially over the last week or so.
	I just want to remind you, please like the stream.
	That helps people to find us.
	Also, you can find us on Roku.
	Just search for The David Knight Show on Roku, or you can search for Roku, David Knight Show, and maybe Google has not shut that avenue down by now.
	But please rate the show there as well.
	But if you can like the stream wherever you're listening to it, if you're downloading the stream, please like it.
	If you leave a positive review, that helps to boost it up, assuming that the metrics are honest, and some of them are.
	And so we're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back with Tony Arterman.
	Stay with us. 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.
	Please share the information and links you'll find at TheDavidKnightShow.com Thank you for listening.
	Thank you for sharing.
	If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers.
	TheDavidKnightShow.com TheDavidKnightShow.com All right, and joining us now, as on almost every Thursday, is Tony Arterman of Wise Wolf Gold and Silver.
	Always a pleasure to have Tony on.
	And, of course, you can get gold and silver there.
	He's even made it easy for you to go to davidknight.gold and let him know that you're coming through us.
	Always great to have you on, Tony.
	I was just looking at, I know you were, you're a veteran, and I was just looking at this fiasco and talking about it yesterday.
	The pier, the Gaza pier, that one B had the perfect take on it.
	They said, well, they've decided that in the future, they'll save time by just dumping $320 million into the water.
	And not building the pier, yeah.
	Cut out the middleman. Let's go direct to the waist.
	That's right. It's kind of like that back in the late 90s, HBO had a movie starring Kelsey Grammer about the origin story of the Bradley fighting vehicle.
	I don't know if you ever saw that, how this kept getting passed along to new development, and then that general would retire, but they kept developing and developing it, and there were so many kickbacks and all the grift, and it went into the billions upon billions just to develop this You know, armored personnel carrier.
	And it was like a boondoggle of all boondoggles.
	And it didn't even work.
	They had to refabricate it again and again.
	So I think that's just...
	You know, you talk about the...
	What is it? The F-35?
	Oh, yeah. They've spent like a trillion dollars.
	Some crazy number where they can't get anything developed on it.
	It's just insane now.
	I mean, they just throw it away.
	I think that's part of the...
	The fake economy and no checks and balances, when you really just print out of thin air, that's what you get.
	You get buildings that shouldn't exist and companies that shouldn't exist, zombie corporations, and it just spills out into entertainment, everything.
	And yeah, it all tracks back to the fake money deal.
	Because it's all about how much money can you spend?
	How much money can you give these people?
	You know, the incentives are so big and they are so perverse that what you wind up getting is, as a matter of fact, I haven't talked about it yet today, but you look at the M1 Abrams tank that is there.
	All the problems that it has, survivability problems are a big issue, but it's even got problems with sophisticated electronics when there's condensation.
	It's like, what? I mean, they've been using it in the desert to shoot people, so they didn't have to worry about condensation, I guess.
	But now they get into Ukraine, where there's some moisture, and it shuts this big, expensive, complex thing down that is not useful at all, not fit for a purpose.
	They give it the wrong kinds of ammunition.
	They give it ammunition like it was going to be fighting other tanks.
	The way these guys are using it is as mobile artillery.
	Because they don't have the ability to fight tank-to-tank or any of that kind of stuff.
	It's a completely different environment, and it's completely not working.
	It's very, very complex and a very specific limited use.
	Yeah, well look at the success that they're having with drones now.
	I mean, these inexpensive things, just taking out these multi-million dollar, multi-billion dollar pieces of equipment.
	I think that's the future.
	Just because you have a printing press and just because you can reach into this almost unlimited pool of funds and build all these things, I don't know that that actually helps you in the future, especially with asymmetrical non-linear warfare.
	That's right. And that's one of the things that they're talking about.
	You can see the Russian tanks, they look like a mobile chicken coop, you know?
	I mean, they've got all this makeshift wood and wire that is stacked on top of it, and it looks like a piece of garbage.
	But they have to do that because the drone attacks from above, they haven't really done that effectively yet with any of the M1 Abrams tanks.
	And so you've got this, talking about asymmetric warfare, $10 million tank taken out by a drone that cost a couple of thousand dollars at most.
	Right, and I remember there's a great line from one of the movies about the Iraq War that I was in, and one of the soldiers says, how are these guys in pajamas?
	You know, we're fighting guys in pajamas over here, and he goes, hey, in Vietnam they had guys in pajamas too, and you've got to respect the pajama, because that's Really, just AK-47s and being mobile.
	Not being tied down with all the supply lines and all the bureaucracies.
	I have to read your ROE, the rules of engagement.
	Am I going to get arrested for firing?
	They don't have to do that.
	The only lesson we learn from history is that we do not learn from history.
	If you look at the warfare of the United States in the last 50 years especially.
	That's true. Yeah, like everything in this government is just useless.
	So bureaucratic that it's useless.
	So overbuilt and overcharged that it's useless as well.
	That's bloated. Yeah.
	And non-essential now.
	Yeah, that's right. That's right.
	Yeah, and it's going to soon be dead and bloated like a bunch of roadkill.
	I mean, of its own accord.
	That's right. And again, we talk about this every week.
	This really is a financial issue.
	It's a financial issue because it goes into what you talk about, the military-industrial complex.
	I brought on a prop this morning, and this is full disclosure.
	I heard Andy Sheckman of Miles Franklin Precious Metals on with Robert Kiyosaki, and a lot of us gold and silver bugs have long talked about how much the military-industrial complex uses silver.
	But there's actually, they've declassified a lot of the usage, and I didn't think it was as much as, you know, because you have the World's Silver Council and others.
	They haven't really gone into the usage, and I'm starting to understand a bit now why you have this We've skewed a silver price, David.
	And again, these are speculations on my behalf.
	This is just me doing my own research and being in this business.
	All of us silver bugs and gold bugs, we always wonder why the price of silver is the way it is.
	Then you see, you know, JPMorgan Chase, which is the largest holder of silver in the world, physical silver, being convicted of suppressing the price.
	And, you know, that's very counterintuitive.
	A lot of people don't. Understand why an institution that holds this amount of silver would want the price to go down.
	Well, it's about accumulation, but it's not only that.
	And I'm starting to really think that it has to do with the usage of the world's largest arms dealer, which is the United States of America, and the military-industrial complex, and its ability to make these weapons.
	They're declassified now.
	There's 500 ounces of silver in a Tomahawk missile.
	Wow. That's a monster box.
	So I brought it on. It's even hard to pick up, even for me.
	But this is a monster box of silver.
	And of course, if you're audio only, you can't see.
	This is a giant green box.
	This comes from the Treasury. This comes from the Mint, the U.S. Mint.
	And there's, you know, there's 20 American Eagles, one ounce silver American Eagles, in each one of these tubes.
	And there's 500 ounces.
	So this box is what goes in every Tomahawk missile.
	So, to me...
	We're talking about the gold-silver ratio.
	Why is it so screwed up?
	From the beginning of time, as soon as there was any kind of monetary policy, there's always been a gold-silver ratio.
	That's the amount of ounces of silver that it would take to make an equal amount of ounce of gold in value.
	And it's usually been...
	10 to 20 to 1.
	So between 10 to 20 to 1, for a period of time, the Egyptians had it 1 to 1.
	But let's just fast forward to the modern era.
	I like the way you do era and era together because we're in an era.
	And so it was 16 to 1, though, David, for most of our history in the United States.
	And that was set in place mostly by Alexander Hamilton and others who formed the basis of our monetary policy, the biometallic standard.
	But it was 16 to 1.
	We'd have to do the math, but it's probably like 87 to 1 today.
	At times, it's broken. I think during the first quarter of the scandemic, it was like it went to 125 ounces of silver to one ounce of gold in value.
	So there's the skewed gold-silver ratio.
	It's been very strange.
	A lot of people are frustrated with silver.
	Why doesn't it go up? Well, ladies and gentlemen, I really think...
	That this actually is a much deeper conspiracy, if you will, than just, you know, a big bank cornering the market.
	And it probably has a lot to do with why the Hunts, the Hunt family, the Hunt brothers, if you go back to the...
	We'll talk, you know, there's Jamie Demon's warning about stagflation, you know, reminiscent of the 1970s coming back.
	And I wonder why that happened.
	Why did they have a high unemployment, low economic growth and inflation?
	Why did they have that at the same time?
	Well, you know, we didn't, we, we had a, you know, a free fall from going off the gold standard.
	I mean, that was one of the reasons, but during that time, the hunt family from Texas, they decided they were going to corner the silver market.
	And you know, this, you know, this history, but they go in and they start buying up physical silver with their fortune.
	They had a vast oil fortune.
	As a matter of fact, they owned, for a while, they owned the oil rights to Libya before there was a certain Colonel Gaddafi that came to power, and they lost all the rights.
	They were one of the richest families in the world.
	They would have certainly been top three had they retained those rights.
	So they started to corner the silver market, and right about 1979, it started to have its massive peak.
	And then $52.50 an ounce in 1980, but they were shut down.
	And I'm starting to think that a lot of this has to go back to the deep state and the military-industrial complex that Eisenhower warned us against.
	And we're just looking at, I think, this is a conspiracy to hoard the metals for themselves.
	So your listeners, my listeners, take that into account.
	And you can go look this up for yourself.
	Think about it. Every time you see one of those reels where they're showing a missile striking something, that's just the Tomahawk missile.
	That's just one area of this.
	Silver is the most thermoconductive metal that there is.
	And of course, gold can do a lot of those same things, but it's much cheaper.
	And now they've incentivized, I believe, To keep it cheap.
	And that's probably why we're seeing these prices.
	So it is really amazing.
	I'm... The more I've looked into this, the more I start to have that kind of aha moment, because I've always wondered, you know, what was the true reason for suppressing?
	I think it's our weaponry.
	Well, and you look at what the corporations do, right?
	They offend their customer base.
	They cancel their customer base on the whims of government, because government is the customer.
	They don't have any customer except for government.
	So they want to do everything the government wants them to do.
	It gives me an interesting idea.
	You know, we talk about squandering of blood and treasure in war.
	Well, you know, the treasure of all this silver and these other metals as they blow this stuff up.
	I guess what we're doing is we're taking our silver and we're shooting it into the other country.
	I guess eventually somebody will go back to these battlefields maybe and they'll, with a metal detector, they might get rich, you know.
	Right. And of course, it's just making it more and more scarce, too.
	I mean, last year, and I had Peter Kraut on The Great Silver Bowl.
	I had him on my show, The Wise Wolf Gold Crypto Show.
	And he was telling me, he said, we had a 200 million ounce deficit.
	So all the silver that's being ordered and used and everything from, you know, EVs and solar and jewelry, there's 200 million ounce deficit than what was mined.
	So they had to take it from the above ground supply.
	He said that's only going to be increasing this year.
	So there's running more and more debt.
	This thing, I think, and you've seen the spike where silver broke, you know, $32 an ounce.
	This is the first time since, what, 2000?
	It's the highest it's been since I've been in business.
	Let's put it that way, on spot price.
	When I got into Wise Wolf in retail, it was like $23, and I think sometimes it's broken, gotten close to $29, $30 an ounce on spot.
	But no, this is the highest it's been since 2013.
	And I think we're going to continue to see a trend because not only is it monetarily, David, where commodity prices are inverse to the loss of purchasing power in a fiat currency.
	So the more that the central banks print of their own currency to cover down on their spending and their bloated welfare states and all the rest, the more that commodities go up because the purchasing power, I mean, this is pretty simple math, but if you make something ubiquitous like your paper currency and there's more of it and there's less of this thing over here, there's a lot that factors into price.
	And then again, this isn't investment advice, but I think what we're seeing worldwide is a revaluation of commodities.
	And I think even the Shanghai exchange, the silver on the Shanghai exchange, not to mention the gold, massive premiums, because I think they're starting, I think the world is moving away from what we see as commodity and pricing in dollars.
	I think that's slowly happening.
	We saw, and that's because of things like the BRICS nations.
	I believe Thailand is about to be admitted into BRICS. It's an amazing time.
	Saudi Arabia of course was and there's like 25 other nations that are awaiting application. So I think this is this, everything is changing, it's changing very rapidly. You know the headline, one of the headlines too Dave I wanted to bring up before I forgot. Zimbabwe has deflation, Zimbabwe has deflation now.
	Now, this is a crazy upside-down world because this was always the joke.
	They had the trillion-dollar notes, and I've mentioned this before, but they went to a gold-backed currency, and of course, coming from their government, they said they won't – they lie.
	I mean, every government lies, but they're saying – They're at least putting out the press releases saying we won't put out more notes than what we have in gold reserves.
	That's what they say. But at least they're saying it.
	We don't even talk about it.
	We're in a free fall from anywhere close to having any sort of fiscal sanity.
	But that's what's happening in Zimbabwe.
	Imagine that in 2024.
	We are through the looking glass now.
	The place that used to have, you know, hundreds of percent, 250% or more inflation every year now has deflation.
	And they're trying to get it more honest.
	And, you know, we see that with Venezuela as well, right?
	Venezuela had, they were a basket case and they started embracing Bitcoin to try to give some stability to their economy and everything.
	It got so popular that they are now banning any crypto mining in Venezuela because it's bringing the grid down.
	And that's the other thing that's interesting.
	You know, when you look at these external factors, it's not just what people want, prefer to have silver or gold or Bitcoin or something like that.
	You look at these external factors like the way the military is consuming silver, or, you know, we'd also talk about the solar panels.
	Solar panels, big consumption of silver, and the government really wants to...
	To push solar panels and other things like that.
	So when you look at these initiatives from the government that are consuming these metals, but then you also look at Bitcoin, and it's got a bit of that as well, because the consumption issue there, how are we going to sustain this?
	The consumption issue is the power.
	And so you've got these companies, the artificial intelligence companies, who have the same issues as the cryptocurrency companies.
	Sam Altman is out there Starting a company that's going to start creating its own private power grid network of nuclear reactors and other things like that so that they can keep the crypto stuff going.
	I think it's also so they'll have power for the government issues of data mining and storage and all the rest of the stuff on us as part of the surveillance state.
	But that's the limiting factor.
	There's real-world limitations to all of this stuff.
	And it doesn't just exist in a vacuum.
	You can't just print as much money as you wish, and you can't have as much gold and silver or even a cryptocurrency as you wish because there's these issues on how you can use the stuff or the physical limits of all these things.
	Everything's got a physical limit in this world.
	It absolutely does.
	And Bitcoin does take, and it takes a worldwide network, takes a lot of energy to keep the network up.
	And so there's an incentive, if you are a Bitcoin miner, to find cheap, renewable sources of power.
	That's right. While the government's trying to shut down the power everywhere, you know, it's like, how do I sustain this thing?
	And then when they come up, they start doing this, who's going to have access to that network, right?
	Is it going to be the AI companies in government?
	Are the crypto miners going to be able to have access to that?
	You know, that's an externality that's going to really affect that marketplace.
	It isn't like there's some, you know, they like to talk about the fact they've got a limited number of Bitcoins and everything, but their ability to process a transaction is going to be somewhat limited, I think.
	I like what El Salvador's done.
	They use a volcano. There's like hydroelectric dams they've reopened to power the Bitcoin network.
	This is fascinating, the turn in history.
	China had all these miners, and that was where most of the Bitcoin was mined.
	And then China banned it, which is crazy, because they banned it, what, two or three years ago.
	Those miners moved all over, resettled across the globe.
	And now Hong Kong has the Bitcoin ETF that they're launching.
	And that's supposed to go into be available in mainland China.
	So you have mainland China investors investing in Bitcoin that they banned from being mined in their home country.
	We live in unprecedented times.
	this this is you know that it's.
	Bitcoin's being passed around, and I don't want to stick on Bitcoin too long.
	It's an interesting thing.
	I still buy Bitcoin.
	I deal in Bitcoin.
	As a matter of fact, we're working really diligently to be able to take Bitcoin through the Wolfpack memberships and all that.
	I'm working on that. To be able to take it as a form of payment.
	Because I do like Bitcoin.
	But there's so much... And he hates gold.
	And he hates people as well.
	Yes, exactly. He said the people who are going to win are the ones who had big population reduction, you know? So it's like, yeah, it's a dead giveaway, he told the people at World Economic Forum.
	Yeah, we got a declining population is a good thing, you know, so we know which side he's on.
	Well, that and then they've got BlackRock and all these mega corporations buying up all the residential housing and you have Larry Fink coming out and saying, well, we can change public perception by changing policy and we can push them to change behaviors.
	I think that's, I'm paraphrasing him, but he's talking about changing behaviors.
	You're absolutely right. These are open questions.
	And BlackRock has come out and said that the developing world, they're going after gold and putting a premium on gold and gold mining is actually hurting the economies and developing economies.
	So they're like, don't do that because it's hurting investment.
	Because the more that the world turns away from the standard fiat markets, And goes into hard commodities, the more these, they don't have the power.
	It's like, I use that analogy, it's like Tinkerbell, right?
	If you don't clap, Tinkerbell dies.
	And that's if you don't clap for the casino stock market and the multinationals, their system starts to collapse.
	They need you to participate in it.
	That's right. Yeah, when you look at their suppression of the price of silver, you know, they're manipulating that.
	And even when you look at what's going on with the dollar, you know, Biden kicked all this stuff off, he and his people.
	I can't believe that that's stupid.
	I think it's an agenda that they want that to happen.
	And, you know, you talk about the BRICS countries and, you know, what was it, Thailand that's joining it.
	They're settling in local currencies now.
	They don't even have to have a brick currency.
	They're settling in local currencies.
	And that's the thing that really concerns people in the United States.
	It's one of the reasons why a lot of people are going to gold and silver.
	Got a comment here from Michelle Obama, and thank you for the tip.
	He says, Tony, you sold me enough silver to make an anchor for an aircraft carrier.
	Be advised, you are at the tippity-top of my family's Christmas card list.
	So... Like the fact that silver is finally making its move.
	But, you know, gold has also been making its move.
	Shift Gold talks about the fact that in the past five years, gold has gone up 89%.
	percent. The government bond index has gone up 0.7 percent because people just don't want the government debt. They talk about having a shortage of gold and silver and other things like that. Well, there's no shortage of government bonds and debt, is there?
	It's interesting.
	You know, the government incentivizes behavior.
	If you look in the tax code, it incentivizes behavior.
	One of the things they really don't incentivize is you having gold and silver.
	They really don't do that.
	State governments sometimes do.
	And you see that where the state governments are making gold and silver legal tender.
	If you look at the history of precious metals pricing, gold went up 2,000% in the 1970s.
	Silver did something very similar.
	It was a crazy move from, what, a dollar an ounce or something like that up to $52.50 an ounce in 1980.
	So if you look at their financial planners, though, what happened in 1974?
	They came out with these products like 401ks, IRAs.
	They started getting people access to the stock market and other things that, you know, normal people didn't do.
	Then you started having something called a financial planner.
	Like these financial planners get licensed to come on board.
	There's a reason they did all that.
	And that was, I think, you have Jamie Demon coming out talking about stagflation in the 1970s.
	But why did we have stagflation?
	Why did that even come into, you know, you can throw in things like, well, there was an oil embargo.
	And, you know, there was this oil from OPEC. Yeah, but that doesn't explain all the other factors around high unemployment, low economic growth, high inflation.
	Because right now you see the Federal Reserve being asked about cutting rates.
	Cutting rates stimulates the economy.
	Well, we can't really cut rates right now.
	But you have stagflation.
	So you have all these things happening, but you still have inflation, which is the whole thing is they need to ramp up the economy with a rate lowering, but we have inflation.
	So they really can't double down on that, David.
	So they're in this really strange box, but they don't talk about where...
	You talk about being in a strange box.
	My image of it, what happened in the 1970s, what's happening now is the end of the movie Wizard of Oz, where he's in that box underneath the big balloon, and the inflation takes off, and it goes, come back, come back.
	I don't know how it works.
	That's really what these guys are, the men behind the curtain.
	That's really what it is. They don't know how it works.
	They kick this thing off, they release the inflation, and it's going to take them.
	They don't know where it's going to take them or us, either one.
	Which is funny because the Wizard of Oz is like this allegory of the gold standard.
	The cowardly lying is supposed to be William Jennings Bryan.
	L. Frank Baum, if you get to the Yellow Brick Road and the gold.
	The Emerald Palace is where the Emperor or the Wizard, and that's the Greenback.
	There's all these different allegories that L. Frank Baum put in.
	Of course, at the end of the book, Dorothy clicks her silver slippers.
	They're not rubies. Oh, okay.
	It was the silver at the end.
	Somebody told that to that guy who broke into the museum there and stole those ruby slippers.
	He was so stupid, he thought they were real ruby slippers, and then he got these cheap sequin things, and he turned them back in, turned himself in, and they took him in to be a rainbow.
	I remember that. Yeah, but he was near the end of life.
	He was in a wheelchair, very poor health and everything.
	They let him off lightly.
	But yeah, it wasn't even real ruby slippers.
	How about that? It's amazing.
	It really is amazing.
	And you just hit on something I think is really important for people to understand.
	They've created all these other avenues for you to forget about what they do to your currency.
	Every time they go to the printing press.
	And you just don't notice it as much.
	Maybe the stocks are growing a little bit.
	Maybe they're keeping track with inflation.
	Maybe not. Maybe kind of like now how you just talked about how the markets and the bonds, they're not keeping up.
	So now we just reach this point where the treadmill, and that's where people are on.
	You look at the I was looking at some gold mining stocks.
	Gold's up like 600% or some crazy number for the last 20 years, and their stocks haven't gone up because they're just kind of keeping pace with the actual stock markets themselves and the valuations.
	So there's something going on.
	I think people tune in to us every Thursday, just going through the headlines on precious metals and commodities.
	But history is happening, David.
	It's really exciting. Even to the extent Michael Meharry had an article I thought was interesting.
	Forbes magazine, Steve Forbes, said that he thinks the world is beginning to lurch toward a gold-based monetary system.
	He said, despite the fact that historical gold standard is held by most people in universal contempt by economists and by financial officials.
	And so Michael Maharry says, well why is that?
	He says, well it's because the gold limits what the government can do.
	You know, they don't like that.
	They like to be able to have complete unrestrained control and that brings them back to reality.
	This is something I talked about last week and I think Steve Forbes is on to something.
	A lot of people are wondering, what's the next, you know, if the dollar is the world's reserve currency, then is it going to be bricks that supplants the dollar?
	And my answer to that is no, it'll be gold.
	I think just the system that's been set up, especially since we went off the gold standard in 1971 here in the United States, The gold exchanges that have been set up, the universal spot price for gold being measured through markets.
	I think that the world's reserve currency is gold now.
	I think that that's where, I think it's going to gold.
	It is gold. You look at these countries, like, look at the currency of Russia.
	Look at the Russian ruble.
	Tell your audience, go look at the charts of the Russian ruble post-invasion.
	When they invaded Ukraine, And the sanctions were placed on by the Biden administration.
	We always sanctioned Russia, but we put more sanctions on.
	The ruble fell for a little while, maybe about 60 days.
	And then there were some announcements that they were going to back the ruble digitally with gold.
	There were so many rubles per gram.
	I forget exactly what the ratio was, but they said they're going to do that, and then they started trading openly directly with countries around the SWIFT system, so trading gold for crude oil, going to places like India, going to China, doing the same thing using their energy reserves.
	Then the ruble just rebounded and actually was stronger than when the sanctions were placed on.
	So I think Russia led the way and said, you don't need the dollar.
	Actually, their foreign minister, their finance minister said that dollars were candy wrappers to them.
	They don't even accept them anymore.
	I looked it up in Russia.
	That's a really big insult to say something like a candy wrapper is trash beyond trash or something like that.
	It's interesting to see Russia led the way.
	They were supposed to be like, oh, it's going to be devastating for Russia.
	Well, no, the inverse happened, and you see rapid de-dollarization.
	As a matter of fact, at the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, the dollar was being used financially worldwide, about 58% of all financial transactions.
	Now we're in the low 40s, because all the countries that have dumped the dollar after those sanctions that were placed on Russia.
	Of course, Janet Yellen, too, David.
	Jenny Young said those billions and billions that are seized Russian assets from around the world, she wants to give to Ukraine?
	These acts of war by these people on our side of the...
	I guess our leaders, if you want to call them that.
	This is financial warfare.
	These countries are fighting back by creating their own systems, and I think gold really comes out on top.
	Yeah, because people who run this American empire are basically kleptocrats.
	They're thieves. You know, it's government by theft.
	Maybe, you know, ruble is doing so well, maybe we should redo the Wizard of Oz and Dorothy could wear ruble slippers.
	I don't know. Before we end here, I got a quote from Steve Forbes.
	We went on to talk about it and how it would have changed if we had stayed on the gold standard.
	You know, for 180 years, we were on the gold standard.
	And he said, you know, during that period of time, we had the greatest long-term growth in human history in the United States without the ravages of price inflation.
	How did that happen, right?
	And he said, and since the greenback's link to gold was severed, our average historic growth rates have fallen by about a third.
	Median household income today would be about $40,000 higher.
	Would you all like another $40,000 a year?
	If our traditional pattern of growth for those 180 years had been maintained.
	Nevertheless, the contumely and scorned for gold-based monetary system is universal.
	Why? Because it limits the government, but it limits our wealth creation.
	And you know, when I look at this, Tony, I think about the fact that, you know, we can't force the government to adopt a personal gold standard, but a gold standard, but we can do that on a personal level in a sense, right?
	Especially when we see that they are engineering the collapse of gold, just like they're engineering the collapse of our energy system, our food system, and so many other things.
	It is an opportunity for us to get into a system that is going to be for our benefit and not for the government's benefit.
	We talk all the time about CBDC, you know, yeah, that's the government certainly wants that because it suits their purposes.
	Fiat currency is the same way, you know, it's their control grid and, you know, it's better than the CBDC, but it is still for their benefit, not for ours.
	Thank you.
	Right, it's a transfer of wealth.
	It's the largest transfer of wealth in human history, and it's stealth.
	It's the stealing of wealth through stealth.
	As a matter of fact, if you want to go and get a glimpse of, and I think this is There's a story about a document found in an IBM copier at an estate sale in 1986.
	Somebody found this copier, and inside there was a document called Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars.
	I don't know if you've ever heard of this, but it was dated May 1st, 1979.
	It's this weird technical manual.
	You can debate whether it's real or not, but the fact that somebody found it and it's copier is real.
	And then you look at the manual and it starts to open up and it talks about money as energy and how they were going to basically use it to transmute through people, use their energy against them.
	So that's what the elite do.
	That's it's a it's economic alchemy.
	That's why I call it Luciferian Bankster notes.
	When you go, you don't have any sort of checks and balances like we had.
	And you always have corruption in governments, folks, that's always going to happen.
	There's always going to be, uh, there's always shadow governments.
	There's always things that, and people behind the scenes, but you amplify that by factors untold in human history.
	If, when you take it, when you take all this wealth and all the things that we built, and then you create monopoly money around it, it's unlimited, that's why we have, that's why we have the state of affairs that we have today are because they pulled a magic trick.
	And again, I go back and look at Silent Weapons or Quiet Wars.
	It's an interesting read. You can decide for yourself what you think it is.
	But I think that's the explanation of that, being able to use people as energy devices and use the money or the currency as a way to extract from them.
	That's something that...
	A lot of people, I'm sure you talked about this, but as we, I know we need to end the segment, but you go back to the beginning of 2020 and there was this story that dropped, and not a lot of people picked it up, but Microsoft has a patent.
	It's called the 060606, and it is a patent to use biometric integrations into the human body to produce a cryptocurrency for approved activities.
	I had to look this up several times before I even broadcast on my show.
	I'm like, can this even be real?
	Yes, it's real.
	So this is how they think of the elites.
	And this is just a short way of getting the audience to think about this.
	The elites don't think of currency the way you and I do.
	It's weaponized and it's used to exploit you.
	What David and I are saying is you become your own bank.
	We're not telling you to be investors per se.
	We're telling you to be your own bank.
	Know how to trade gold and silver.
	Know the values of that.
	If you want to know what the world's reserve currency status is, You know, go look up the spot price for gold.
	And that's what it's trading at.
	That should be the exchangeable rate between you and whatever third party you want to deal with.
	And by the way, before I close, David, I caught myself talking about the F-35, and I said the word trillion.
	And I said, I think it cost about a trillion.
	That's what first came to my mind.
	And then as the interview was going on, I thought, that can't be right.
	That can't be right. I looked it up.
	It's $1.7 trillion.
	So that's what it was. That's $2 trillion, yeah.
	We talk about the trillions, billions, and millions so many times that I sometimes interchange those, but yeah, you're right.
	It's a trillion-dollar system.
	I don't know how much their new strategic bomber, I think this is a strategic bomber, the B-23 thing, it's a pretty sophisticated-looking thing.
	Who knows how much that thing costs.
	It is absolutely insane what our government is doing, and it's unsustainable.
	But tell us what's going on at Weiswolf.
	What's new there? Well, we've got a lot of great products in.
	We bought a big load of silver last couple of weeks, and I've got Wolfpack packages going out.
	We're really, really looking forward to the items that are going out in the packages.
	I hope people will reach out to us.
	Tell us what you think. Silver going up has put a strain on me being able to, like in the lone wolf packages, at $50 a package, and you take out shipping, you start looking at cost of credit card fees and everything else, and I start thinking, what can I even put in here because of the premiums?
	Because we don't want to put one thing.
	We try to give you some variety, so I'm just searching around, trying to find fractional silver and other things, and of course we use the goldbacks.
	But if you get the lone wolf package, I thought it was cool.
	We bought a big load of silver dollars, the pre-1921s going back into the late 1800s, Morgan silver dollars in good condition.
	Those are going out in the lone wolves plus a gold back. I'm really proud of that.
	That's cool.
	Because we beat, if you, the pre-1921 Morgan silver dollars, David, are upwards $40, $50 apiece on some of the major retailers.
	And there's some good mint marks in there. So if you're a little bit of a collector, you know, check that out.
	So the lone wolves, I'm proud when we can do something neat like that.
	And I'm looking at different.
	That's cool. Fractional gold coins.
	I'm starting to search other wholesalers so we can try to put gold in some of the lower tiers.
	It's hard to do. A gram of gold now, folks.
	I mean, retail on a gram of gold is like $111, $115.
	It's just going up and up and up.
	So we're trying to get like half grams.
	Everybody's sold out. It's hard to get that stuff.
	But we are trying to get even that in the Wolfpack...
	Even that, if you hold on to those small pieces of gold, even if you're worth paying the premium, I think it's going to catch up.
	I think if you let it sit there for a while, let the price of gold do what it's going to do against the dollar, you'll get some physical gold.
	I build the invoices every week.
	I have a lot of fun doing it.
	I hope that people are happy. You go to davidknight.gold and promo code 1776 gets some free silver, too.
	Oh, that's great. Yeah, promo code 1776.
	And what is the free silver that they get with that promo code?
	Most of the time I'm doing constitutional silver, pre-1965, 90% dimes, quarters, half dollars, things like that.
	We just put a little bag in there of extra silver just on the house for you.
	And, of course, we talked a little bit about...
	Continue to tell people, if you've got these 401ks, IRAs, and you want to roll that over into physical precious metals, we can do that.
	You just go to davidknight.gold or give us a call directly.
	Now is the time to do it, in my opinion.
	Things are kind of quiet on markets, and you can trade value for value and get into some precious metals.
	I think we're seeing some trends of metals going forward.
	Who knows? I mean, I don't think the gold bull market is over by any means, and silver, I think, is just getting started, so it's still a good time to do that.
	I agree. Yeah, you know, things can get very crazy as we get towards the election, but certainly after the election, I think they are.
	So, you know, it's for the foreseeable future of the next year, so I think it's going to be a real bull.
	I don't see anybody who is...
	It was bearish on gold and silver at this point in time.
	Everybody's very bullish about that because of what they're doing.
	We've got one more here.
	Let's see. Oh, we'll get to that later.
	That's not on the monetary stuff, right?
	Okay. Well, thank you so much, Tony.
	I really do appreciate it.
	And again, folks, you can go to Tony Arterman's Wise Wolf Gold.
	Just go to davidknight.gold.
	He set that up so he knows you're coming through us.
	And if you use the promo code 1776, he's got some special silver stuff for you.
	Tony, are you doing a show right after this show, too?
	Yes, sir. I'll be live 11 a.m.
	Central Time on Rock, Finley America Unplugged channel, and my Twitter at TonyOnderburnandFreeWorld.fm.
	I'll be live. So, yeah, come join me over there.
	If you've got questions, get in the chat.
	We'll have a group discussion.
	Excellent. Excellent. Always interesting talking to you.
	Thank you so much, Tony. We'll talk to you later.
	We'll be right back, folks.
	♪♪
	Liberty. It's your move.
	And now, The David Knight Show.
	Alright, and on Rumble, a comment from Stealth Patriot who said, Governor Bill Lee in Tennessee just signed a bill preventing local governments from enacting red flag laws.
	Well, you know, when you look at it, some people would say they have mixed feelings about it because do we really want to have the state preempting local laws?
	Well, I think it is true if, I think you do, when their laws violate the Constitution.
	And, you know, you can have different levels of government interposing.
	As long as they're interposing in favor of the principles of the Constitution, I'm in favor of that.
	And, you know, there's only three jurisdictions, really, where we have that kind of craziness going on.
	That's Nashville, Memphis, and Knoxville, liberal areas.
	Knoxville, not as much as the other two.
	But, you know, I just wish that he would...
	I wish that he'd get rid of this toll thing that he's cynically calling choice lanes.
	I know exactly what that is about.
	But, yeah, we don't want to take the gun and do the due process later, which is what Trump did.
	He doesn't respect the Constitution.
	Let's talk a little bit about the war here.
	To save time, as I said before, Babylon Bee, to save time, Biden is going to drop the next $320 million of cash directly into the ocean.
	I like what they put in it. You know that pier that we built in Mexico, Jack?
	Yeah. This time, we'll build it back better, just throwing it all into the sea.
	And he doesn't know the name of the place.
	If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for this plan or against it, then you ain't Palestinian.
	Foreign policy analysts have hailed the plan as a time-saving 4-D chess move.
	Yeah, 4-D chess.
	Talking about lying to people.
	To get what you want? Talking about lying being a virtue?
	Why waste weeks of time and labor to build a temporary solution, which will just get washed away in the next storm?
	It's absolutely brilliant, said CNN. Yeah.
	Well, that's what happened in reality.
	And of course, as I mentioned at the beginning of the program, we have been watching incremental steps to drag us into war, and yet in North Korea, they have gone excremental.
	They are sending balloons filled with feces, and they even write the word excrement on them, loaded with feces and other garbage, drifting over the heavily fortified border.
	I guess if these things are falling all over the ground, it truly does become a no-man's zone, does it?
	But isn't it interesting, you know, when I looked at this, I thought, There's really only one export that you get out of communist countries, and that is excrement.
	That is their only export.
	So it is fitting that that would be the only export of North Korea.
	Think about it. Balloons filled with crap.
	We sternly warned North Korea to immediately stop its inhumane and low-class actions, said a statement from South Korea.
	Both sides have long-used balloons to physically transport propaganda messages to the other side.
	You know, it's interesting, it's not propaganda, but the persecution of Christians is bigger in North Korea than in any other country.
	It's harder to get people Bibles, and so they've tried all types of things, you know, dropping them by parachute, sending them by balloons even.
	And just hoping that it finds its way into the hands of somebody, some of these soldiers who pick it up.
	They might be like the firemen from Fahrenheit 451.
	Get curious about it.
	Take it. Read it. That type of thing.
	But again, you know, that is indicative of what's going on in this communist country.
	The South Korean government has gone so far as to deploy hazmat teams.
	To deal with the cleanup as the crap-filled balloons descended with their payloads.
	That gives all new meaning to it.
	I wonder if the FDA and the CDC are going to go over there and test it for bird flu, you think?
	It's balloon fluid is what flew it in there.
	They said there was at least 260 balloons.
	Maybe this was a tribute to their failed missile system, right?
	Yeah. They just shot off some missiles that were full of crap as well.
	Crapped out on the mission.
	North Korea's Vice Minister of National Defense said this is a natural response.
	Yeah, it is a natural response.
	Scattering leaflets by the use of balloons is a dangerous provocation.
	They can be utilized for a specific military purpose, he said.
	And he charged South Korea with psychological warfare as they're charging North Korea with scatological warfare, I guess.
	We're living in crazy times, aren't we?
	Interesting and crazy times.
	Meanwhile, we had President Trump, as reported by Informational Liberation, and actually it was also reported by the Washington Post, told Jewish donors that he will crush pro-Palestine protests and deport the demonstrators.
	Yeah, Trump is going to bring us peace, right, on day one.
	On day one, he is going to pardon all these people that he had a chance to pardon and didn't pardon.
	He's gonna bring peace to the world.
	He's got so many things he's gonna do.
	When is he gonna have time to take revenge on Biden and the people that are coming after him?
	We haven't checked to see if they've come up with a verdict yet.
	It's just absolutely amazing.
	And it's obvious to everybody that this is a kangaroo trial.
	As a matter of fact, there's another Babylon Bee thing.
	They said the kangaroos joined together and asked people to stop using their name to describe this process against Trump.
	It's just too embarrassing to them.
	But it is a kangaroo process.
	Even the instructions that the judge gave saying to the jurors, you don't have to agree on which crimes he committed.
	If you think he committed a crime, then you think he did a crime A, and the other guy thinks he did crime B, and the other person said they did crime C.
	You don't have to agree on all of those.
	If all of you think that he committed a crime, just find him guilty.
	Crazy, crazy instructions.
	And I think it'll be...
	Here's what's going to happen.
	I truly believe...
	That the establishment, and when I say the establishment, I mean the intelligence agencies and people like that.
	They put these guys in office.
	They pick the contestants they choose who's going to go in.
	Your vote doesn't mean anything, folks.
	And so I think, you know, they have chosen to put him in because he'll be useful.
	Left, right, left, right.
	The March of Tyranny, as Ben Garrison put in at one point in time.
	That's exactly the way they want to operate this.
	It also... Ramps things up.
	He's going to be very angry, wanting to get revenge, so we'll have more of this type of injustice, but then coming from his side.
	Both sides have been told that their guy is going to win, and both sides are so polarized that they want to fight after this election happens.
	I think all of this is going to be very dangerous after the election, regardless of who wins.
	And I don't think we're going to have the rule of law.
	Nobody is talking about, oh, this trial is just really bad.
	We need to have honest elections, and we need to have honest trials.
	No, they don't care about any of that.
	They just want to win. We're going to do the ballot harvesting better than them.
	We're not going to stop the vote-by-mail stuff that Trump institutes.
	No, we're going to win with it, you know?
	And so I think that's what is being pushed with us.
	So I think as everybody sees these trials, it's all worked to his advantage.
	It allowed him to beat all the Republican opponents without debating anybody.
	This campaign is not about debates.
	It's not about issues.
	It's about personalities and who do you hate more?
	And if they do something like convict him and put him in jail, they might as well just take him to the White House right there.
	And, of course, he'll be able to appeal all this kangaroo court stuff and win on appeal.
	So he's not in any real personal jeopardy.
	It'll only work out to his advantage.
	This stuff is all backfiring, if you believe...
	That it wasn't designed to put him in office, which I don't believe that.
	I believe that it was designed for all of that.
	Trump promised to crush pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses, telling a room full of donors, a group that he joked included 98% of my Jewish friends, that he would expel student demonstrators from the U.S. And, of course, he got a lot of money from these people, he has said in the past.
	You know, Israel owns Congress, and rightfully so.
	Well, I think they own him as well.
	Just look at the actual pardons.
	Forget about what he told people at the Libertarian Party Convention and other places about pardoning Assange and pardoning Ross Ulbrich and everything.
	No, he pardoned the friends of Jared and Big, wealthy Jewish donors.
	He said, speaking to wealthy donors, this is actually the Washington Post, speaking to wealthy donors behind closed doors, Trump said that he supports Israel's right to continue its war on terror and boasted of his White House policies toward Israel.
	And after he had that closed room meeting, AP reported that he got a record $50 million from that one event.
	And we think about the amount of money that is there.
	Again, let's just go back 20 years.
	When Al Gore ran in 2000, his entire campaign was $70 million.
	Trump meets in one event with Jewish donors and he gets $50 million.
	And George W. Bush spent $100 million for his entire campaign.
	So this one event...
	It is half of what George W. Bush got, and Al Gore accused him of trying to buy the presidency, and it's chicken feed compared to what people are spending on the election now.
	And that's just a metric for how much more corrupt our government has become in just the last 20 years.
	The New York Times says that the claim that Israel is committing genocide is anti-Semitic blood libel.
	So, there is no criticism allowed of a Netanyahu government, a government that could not get a majority, a government that could barely put together a coalition after the election to barely get a majority.
	There's a lot of people in Israel who are criticizing the Israeli government.
	But we're not allowed to criticize a foreign government or anti-Semitic.
	Is that right? Well, the idea that genocide is a word that cannot be applied to this particular situation is false.
	That's exactly what it is.
	If you go back and you look at the definition of genocide, genocide was coined by a Jewish, a Polish Jewish guy, Raphael Lemkin.
	And he was talking about what happened in Armenia, where the Turks were killing massive numbers of Christian Armenians to drive them out of the land.
	It's like, well, we're either going to kill them all, or they're going to leave, one way or the other.
	We're going to get rid of this group of people.
	And that's exactly what is going on.
	Exactly what is going on.
	That's what the word was used for when it was coined, to describe exactly the same situation.
	Coined by a Jewish political observer.
	And what I find interesting is that when you look at these Turks who were attacking the Christian Armenians, it was a specific movement within Turkey that called itself the Young Turks.
	Wait a minute. There's a guy that has a program that he calls the Young Turks.
	He named his program Stink Uyghur.
	I call them the Young Turds.
	Stink Uyghur named his program after a political movement that tried to kill all the Armenian Christians.
	How's that? And, you know, YouTube doesn't think that's hateful or racist or anything like that.
	As a matter of fact, they promote him.
	I mean, he was the young turds were their go-to coverage for all of the political conventions.
	You know, they've got them set up, and it's kind of like their live coverage of what happens at the RNC and the DNC. They go to them.
	It was genocide.
	It was genocide. And what is happening in Gaza is exactly the same thing.
	You know, it's not to say that the Palestinians don't want to do that to the Jews as well.
	Both sides want genocide.
	That's one of the reasons why we should not be involved in that war.
	A charitable description of those imputing genocidal motivations to Israel is that they are ignorant, says the New York Times.
	Essentially believing the word to mean large numbers of civilian casualties.
	No, I understand what the word means.
	I understand what Lemkin meant by it when he coined that term.
	I understand what it meant with the young Turks and with the Armenians, and I understand how it applies here.
	It's not just a large number of civilian casualties.
	It is an intention to remove or to eradicate a people from a country or geographical area so that you can have it.
	The young Turks wanted that area for Turkey, and they wanted to drive all the Christians out.
	Well, we talked earlier, Tony and I did, about the Abrams tanks in Ukraine.
	Yesterday I mentioned the fact that Russian jamming had reduced our sophisticated targeted weapons to only 10% accuracy.
	Jamming GPS and other things like that.
	And then when we look, and I've talked about this before as well, the $10 million Abrams tanks that are there, the crew does not survive, said Ukrainians.
	Biden sent 31 of these $10 million Abrams tanks to Ukraine.
	But one soldier from Ukraine's 47th Mechanized Brigade told CNN, the armor is not sufficient.
	It doesn't protect the crew.
	For real, today, this is the war of drones.
	So now, when the tank rolls out, they always try to hit them.
	Without defense, the crew doesn't survive on the battlefield, said his teammate.
	The 47th is the only Ukrainian unit operating in the U.S.-made tanks.
	The brigade is now working on field modifications to the M1 Abram, including mounting boxes of reactive armor, as witnessed by CNN, as well as wire frames that the Ukrainians previously derided as cope cages.
	Again, look at these things and it doesn't look very sophisticated.
	It looks very backwards when they put these things on.
	It looks like they're driving around.
	There's some pictures.
	Good.
	Uh, there's some pictures of the stuff hanging on, uh, especially that one right there, those four pictures and one of the upper right hand corner looks like a mobile chicken coop, um, playing a game of chicken, I guess.
	And, of course, it finally happened, says one commenter on Twitter.
	The M1 Abrams has had its armor upgraded in theater because it's not working there.
	There's not enough standoff for the cage, and I don't think the wire will be strong enough to damage PG-7 warheads.
	We'll have to wait and see how it performs when they bring her forward.
	But they don't think it's really going to work.
	The U.S. behemoth has proven particularly vulnerable to kamikaze unmanned aerial vehicles striking their weak upper armor.
	Ukrainian tank crews complained that electronics inside the vehicles can be shorted out by condensation from rain and fog.
	The engine on one tank, which had been shipped from Poland, had already broken down.
	Moreover, the U.S. supplied them with anti-tank ammunition.
	Which is not how they're using it.
	In other words, not getting involved in battles between different columns of tanks.
	They're using it as mobile artillery.
	Much more often we work as artillery.
	You need to take apart a tree line or a building.
	We had a case when we fired 17 rounds into a house, yet it was still standing because it wasn't the right kind of ammunition.
	It's ammunition to be used against other tanks, which they're not fighting.
	How did we not know that?
	They said the Abrams were designed to operate under air superiority and with artillery support, according to NATO doctrine.
	And yet, they're using them in a very different way, in a very different war.
	Now you have this asymmetrical warfare where the drones are becoming predominant.
	We have no aviation.
	We have no artillery.
	We only have the tank.
	And it's the problem.
	Signing off from Ukraine, CNN's chief international security correspondent, Nick Patton Walsh, described the Abrams tanks as, quote, machines that were built at the peak of American hyperpower decades ago, sent half-heartedly, it seems, to hold back a fast-changing world.
	Yeah, it is an empire that is fading very quickly.
	Ruled by evil people. That's what we're looking at.
	Well, I'm going to take a break and when we come back I've got some things I want to talk about in terms of a follow-up to yesterday when I was talking about the UN and the Lucis Trust.
	But...
	I want to thank the people who have supported us.
	On Zelle, I haven't mentioned any of the names, and I want to give a quick shout-out to some of the people.
	I really do appreciate it, and I'll try to make it quickly for everybody's purpose, but I really do want to honor these people who really do make the program possible.
	Without these donations, we couldn't go on.
	So, Mara G., William D., Rogello J., Mary M., and of course, that's Mary Ellen Moore, who helped us with the matching funds yesterday as well.
	That was the beginning of May.
	I haven't talked about anybody in all of May yet.
	Ralph M., Michael L., Maurice W., Matthew M., Susan L., Kimberly M., twice here, back-to-back, and a lot of people will do that sometimes.
	Kevin M., Linda M., Sylvia D., Kenneth C., Sean S., Jeffrey C., Teresa P., Gregory I., Michael P., William R., Kimberly M., Benjamin R. Thank you very much.
	Appreciate that, Benjamin.
	Jared U. Susan L. I see Susan all the time as well.
	A continual supporter, thank you.
	Jeffrey C. So many of these people.
	I see their names over and over again.
	Sometimes multiple times a month, Jeffrey is another one.
	Mitchell M. Adam D. Manny D.
	Kevin H. Chris T. Brian P.
	Again, twice here, back and back.
	Gretchen C. Longtime supporter.
	Lisa K. Michael P. Alex C.
	Matthew S., Kyle H., Susan L., again, John D., Maurice W., Ken C., thank you again, J. H., again, and William R., Thank you very much.
	And Jeffrey C. I think that's the least we can do, is read their names and thank them, because that really does keep the program together.
	And I want to thank everybody who donated yesterday.
	I thank Mary Ellen Moore with Free Minds Films for supporting that.
	I've had a lot of people send messages about how they enjoy the documentaries that are there at freemindfilms.com.
	So we're going to take a quick break, folks, and we will be right back.
	Stay with us. We're
	good to go. Making
	sense. Common again.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Well, this article that was put out by the Drudge Report from Business Insider of all places.
	Some scientists seriously believe we could live forever by the 2030s.
	Here's what you need to know about the longevity escape velocity theory.
	Well, here's what you need to know.
	It's a total bunk. By the way, I fully expect to live forever by the 2030s, I think.
	But this is, folks, a worse lie than the jab, a worse lie than January the 6th stuff.
	You should not fear those who can destroy the body.
	You should not fear death. You should fear God who can destroy the body, who can destroy the soul forever as well.
	The longevity escape velocity, a theory that says that we may soon reach a point where aging is optional.
	This is the oldest lie of Satan.
	You'll become like God, you'll live forever.
	You know, what he told Eve.
	As backers say, achieving the state just requires enough ambition and money and maybe some AI. There you go.
	That's what they're selling you.
	They're the ones who have the ambition.
	They want your money.
	And they want you to buy into their AI. Serious scientists, says Business Insider, are excited about the possibility of anti-aging drugs.
	But we don't have any yet, they said.
	So there you go. Ambition, money, drugs, AI. This is just a marketing technique for that stuff.
	You think that's going to make you happy?
	You think it's going to make you live forever?
	You think that with these new advances in technology and science...
	That it will, here's what they mean by the longevity escape velocity.
	They're promising you that this god or goddess science can help you to extend your life and, you know, slow down your aging and continue to do that so that you can slow the aging faster with this and that will help you to stay ahead of the curve and not die.
	Really? That's what they're selling.
	Our ticket to immortality, they said.
	Well, you know, you got a free ticket.
	You just have to understand it and you have to accept it and you have to trust it.
	That's been finished.
	Christ finished that. It isn't a promise of some drugs or some money or some AI that is going to save you in the future.
	You were saved in the past.
	You just have to look for it.
	Take that offer.
	While LEV is only a theory for now, its backers contend that it could be a reality in the not too many decades, given the rapid advancement in science.
	Science, your savior.
	Yeah, how did that work out?
	We will be able to improve the quality of our lives so exponentially that people will be increasing their life expectancy faster than they're living.
	That's approaching a near-immortal state, or so the theory goes.
	Well, that's not going to be what I'm putting my trust in.
	Harvard geneticist George Church, I guess we could call this religious belief the Church of George, maybe, huh?
	Says, maybe, just maybe, we'll reach the state within your lifetime.
	And another person, Surav Sinha, head of strategy at the Longevity Vision Fund.
	See, this is where the money comes in.
	Send us your money and you can live forever, right?
	LEV could be possible within a couple of decades, she said, with the right kind of investments.
	If you just give me enough money, and we have churches that'll do that too, right?
	Joel Osteen. Just buy your way into heaven.
	There you go. Send in the right amount of money.
	God will reward you. No, there isn't anything that you can do.
	It's nothing that's for sale. It's for free.
	But it requires you to follow, to turn from what you're doing.
	Follow Christ. Accept that free offer.
	It is a free gift from God.
	We've already, if we want our wages, the wages of sin or death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ.
	Not this stuff.
	And then they've got another guy, Aubrey de Grey.
	Talking about aging. Kind of a Dorian Gray, I guess.
	One of the originators of the term longevity escape velocity.
	And perhaps his fiercest proponent, Ray Kurzweil, is also there suggesting an even earlier debut for longevity escape velocity.
	Instead of the 2030s that this Dorian Gray guy is putting out there.
	Ray Kurzweil is hoping this is going to happen sometime in 2028 or 2029 because he's older, right?
	So he's telling himself that and telling you that.
	Which would not be enough time for authorities to approve any anti-aging drugs.
	Approval? You don't need no stinking approval.
	You just need a lot of money to approve.
	Kick these FDA guys in along with us.
	They've even put out a new Dublin longevity declaration.
	Everybody knows that aging is bad.
	Everyone says that it's bad, but nobody does anything about it, he said.
	That's kind of like what Mark Twain used to once say about the weather.
	Unfortunately, now people are doing things about the weather.
	We have a climate industry...
	An industry with people getting phenomenally wealthy based on lies about the fact that you can do something about the weather.
	Well, just like the weather, these people can't change their aging, but they can't make a lot of money telling you that they can, can't they?
	Like bad weather, people are stuck with the assumption that nothing can be done, even if we try.
	Well, we want to put that assumption to rest.
	And so they have declared in Dublin that they're going to live forever.
	These billionaires, of course, if you throw enough money at a particular problem, then you can solve it.
	That's what he said. See, all we need is science and money.
	This is what people worship.
	They worship science.
	They worship money. Let's see if that works for them.
	By the way, by throwing a lot of money at things, have they cured cancer by throwing money at it?
	How about multiple sclerosis or heart disease or any of these other things where they have the big fundraising processes?
	No, they haven't. So he says that he's all for investors pouring billions of dollars into fighting specific age-related issues like Alzheimer's or searching for a cure or at least a way to dramatically delay disease.
	He says the New Dublin Declaration is a way to make the idea of the longevity escape velocity more palatable to the broader scientific community, folding it in with the serious work being done to find new drugs to fight aging.
	Like senolytics or other geroprotective diseases.
	You know, just taking a Latin phrase and sticking it on something makes it sound scientific, doesn't it?
	But it's absolutely bunk.
	Futurist and philosopher Nick Bostrom believes that trying to help people live healthier as they age can and must be our moral imperative.
	In 2005, he authored the revered short story, Fable of the Dragon Tyrant.
	About humanity coming together to defeat the monster of death.
	Well, Jesus said it is finished.
	He defeated the dragon, Satan.
	He defeated death. Death, where is thy sting?
	Grave, where is thy victory?
	Right? Thanks be to God.
	He has given us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ, but they don't want it.
	They're going to try to earn their way.
	They're going to try to buy their way.
	They're going to try to use science.
	Bostrom, who directs the Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford University, said the tale of the dragon tyrant was more than a rallying cry.
	It was rather more of a rallying cry than it was a fantasy.
	He says we really could shape a future where humans survive for a very, very long time, perhaps a thousand years or so.
	While we still feel like 15-year-olds.
	We could probably have been a bit further along now if we had started more ambitiously 20 or 30 years ago, he said.
	What we really need is a supercharged kind of AI, in control, driving drug discovery, he said.
	Pharmaceutical companies are already exploring how they might use AI to pinpoint better treatments.
	Going back to George Church again, they said he is already using AI to develop new ways to edit out some of biology's downsides.
	Just this week, longevity startup Jero announced that it has raised $6 million to develop its large health model in hopes of finding new cures for some of the most common age-related If AI is able to pinpoint an ultimate cure or cures for all of the ills of aging, Boston expects that we could really achieve an indefinite lifespan for humanity.
	AI is going to be a cane that they lean on that will break and pierce their hand.
	It is a false hope.
	Everything about it is false.
	It's an artificial intelligence.
	It's a fake intelligence. Some scientists say this is bogus, but the money keeps coming in.
	People are desperate with this, and they just won't listen.
	It's like, you know, so many times you try to warn people, whatever you try to warn them about, they just...
	They won't listen. Anyway, there isn't any drug available today that can reliably reverse age people.
	Some of the most earnest attempts have failed spectacularly.
	As a matter of fact, it makes diseases like cancer more likely to appear when you start messing with the genetic code, they said.
	When you start tinkering with some of these basic mechanisms of aging, there's a safeguard for some of these problems.
	Well, okay.
	What would that be? Who put those safeguards in there?
	Who designed this for you to not mess with it?
	Who designed it so that if you start trying to game the system, it actually blows back against you?
	Kurzweil, the futurist, expects that by 2029, we should be able to claw back an entire year of life each year that we live.
	And after that, we'll be flying backwards in time.
	He's going to be so disappointed, isn't he?
	Mouse stem cell treatments, telomere lengthening gene therapies, cheap cancer pill, rapamycin, all these are aimed at giving mice one more additional healthy year.
	Well, they can try to claw that back.
	And look, I'm all for people trying to be healthy, but they're selling a very, it's a very sad illusion that they're selling people.
	And a lot of this, hopium, It's just that, and it's not going to do anything for anybody.
	I thought it was kind of interesting to see that there was another NFL kicker who got a little bit of pushback.
	This guy's name is Brandon, as in Let's Go Brandon.
	Brandon McManus, who was accused of sexual assault in a lawsuit that was filed by two women.
	However, this guy who was accused of sexually assaulting women is not getting anywhere near the coverage.
	I mean, I've only seen like one, maybe two stories about this guy.
	Whereas the other guy, Harrison Butker, who talked about his wife and home and family and housewife, he has drawn the ire of society in general, but especially the feminists, far more than this other NFL kicker who's been accused of sexual assault of two women.
	Isn't that interesting?
	That it is, sexual assault is not as offensive as motherhood and family for most people in our society.
	And so, when we look at what is happening with the family and what is happening with society...
	There's an interesting interview that was done by Lila Rose, who has live action news.
	She talked to Carl Truman, who's a professor, a theologian, author of a book, The Rise of the Modern Self.
	And he said, one of America's fundamental problems is the fact that we've taken individualism, which is a good thing, but we've taken it to a radical extreme.
	You know, we can always fall off a horse.
	One side or the other.
	And many times when we look at, oh, we don't want to fall into that pit of collectivism, we lean so far the other way that we fall into the pit of radical individualism to the extent that we don't want to have other people around us.
	So we put ourselves in, as the Bible said, as lovers of self.
	So, Lila Rose sat down with Carl Truman.
	The two of them talked about American culture and the kind of trends that we're seeing now, the rejection of the natural order, how people view sex.
	Truman said, individuals, especially Americans, like to believe that they're free, autonomous, and without obligation.
	Americans, he said, live by an idea of radical individualism, which was once a great strength.
	But now we've taken it to such an extreme that it's now become an Achilles heel.
	He said, that which made America great, I think, at this point in time, is beginning to make America weak.
	Over the last 500 to 600 years, he said, Western society has increasingly emphasized psychology, feelings, inner mental life as being the definition of who we are.
	We've persuaded ourselves that we are who we think.
	Or we feel that we are.
	He said rather than having an external authority, namely God, he said, in the modern world, we've allowed the inner space to become an authority.
	This is the postmodernism.
	I have a truth. You have a truth.
	Who are you to tell me anything?
	And yet they do have things that they want us to abide by, their rules.
	Truman and Rose discussed the theories of everyone from Nishi, to people who said people shouldn't allow language to dictate who they are, to Freud, who believed that human happiness is found in sexual satisfaction.
	And so you see, these things are starting to come together, aren't they?
	In the transgender movement, the LGBT. Truman and Rose also discussed what it means to be a human.
	He said, how you imagine what it means to be a human being is critical here.
	Let's say if you're a Christian believer and you're going to think that human beings are made in the image of God, and you think that brings with it natural obligations, natural vertical obligations to God, natural horizontal obligations to people who are also made in His image.
	If you imagine, though, that human beings are just free and unencumbered individuals, then you're going to think that every human relationship is a contractual one.
	And it's the negotiating terms, the contract, that will determine what your moral obligation is in any given situation.
	When you have a strongly contraceptive abortion culture, the way you imagine the importance and the nature of sex changes because of that.
	Sex becomes recreation.
	You start to think that pregnancy is an unfortunate byproduct of the recreation, that it is not a central part of the activity.
	The natural order of sex is between a man and a woman in the confines of marriage.
	He said, I think it's the common sense position because that's the context in which children can be protected.
	One of the funny things about the debate about a marriage in this country is that people have forgotten why we had state laws about marriage in the first place.
	We had laws about marriage in order to protect children.
	That's why the state has an interest in marriage, because the state has an interest in protecting children.
	Well, that's the first thing in this article summary that he said that I disagree with.
	Because if we go back and we look at marriage, marriage used to be something, and he ought to know this as a theologian, it was something that was recorded by the churches.
	You know, people would get married.
	They put it in the Bible, you know, or records that were at the church.
	And what happened was that you started to have people exploiting that.
	You might have a guy who would marry a woman in a village, and then he would go to another village, or he would go to another port or another country, and he would marry somebody else.
	And all of a sudden, when he dies, people are trying to figure out his estate.
	He's on the books in all these different places.
	It was like, now what do we do?
	That was the argument for government keeping a central record for it.
	And that's really how we got government involved in something that is really between us and God.
	You know, part of the, you know, some of the individualism is about each and every one of us standing individually before God, and that is true.
	And so I disagree with what he had to say, and I also disagree because if the state takes an interest in children, if it thinks that it has a natural interest in children, specifically, then eventually it gets interested in taking children.
	If it takes an interest in children, it'll get interested in taking children.
	God created the family, and he knows that.
	God created the family to protect and to raise the children, not government.
	I'm not buying into any of this.
	It takes a village stuff regardless of how you bring it in.
	No, the government is there to keep the peace.
	And in that sense, it does protect children as well as adults to keep the peace.
	But God created the family to protect children.
	A man created the state to keep peace.
	And once the state sees itself as a nanny, all bets are off.
	Just like merging government and religion.
	Before long, what happens is the religion takes over, the government takes over the religion.
	Just like if you merge the government and the family, eventually government takes over the family.
	A truly pro-family culture, says World Magazine, they said, you know, when we look at what is happening with Harrison Butker's comments, why is this so offensive to so many people?
	Well, because they define themselves, whether you're a man or a woman, most people define themselves in terms of their profession.
	What do they do to make money, right?
	And that has been really pushed hard, especially in the last 50 years to women, that their self-worth is in their income-generating capacity, or their job, or their job title, or whatever.
	That's where they find their fulfillment.
	It's interesting that that's always been a problem with men.
	And now we've made that a problem for women.
	What we need to look at, frankly, is that we are far more than our job, far more than our net worth.
	It writes here, I think?
	A healthy home requires love, order, discipline, selflessness, forgiveness, fidelity, patience, and understanding.
	The last thing our society needs is more selfish, more naked selfishness, whether that comes from feminist skulls on the left or from Christless red pill influencers on the right.
	I think that's a very balanced and correct approach.
	And as we get to Pride Month, I don't have much time left, but I saw this interesting thread by someone on Twitter.
	His name is BillyIsWriting.
	That's a guy who imagines himself to be a woman.
	And he said this.
	He said, hey, Christians, if you're at a Pride event where exactly...
	He says, if you are at a Pride event...
	There exactly is only two messages that you have any right to share as Christians.
	And he's going to dictate what your rights are.
	You see, that's what this is really about.
	Pride Month is about saying that you have no rights.
	You have LGBT-granted privileges because they've been put in charge.
	And what are those two messages that are the only thing that you are allowed to say?
	The only thing that you quote-unquote have a right that he's going to dictate to you about?
	Number one, he said, God adores you in your glorious, holy queerness.
	And number two, we as Christians apologize for all the harm that the church has caused the queer community.
	That's it. That's it, he said.
	Anything else you can't say?
	Well, God does love you.
	He does not love your sin.
	He does not want to leave you that way.
	He doesn't want to leave you a slave to sin.
	And we'll talk more about this tomorrow because we're going to be coming in.
	That'll be our last program before we begin Pride Month.
	God has said that He doesn't like pride.
	And you know, there can be some Christians who are very prideful about the way they approach this as well.
	Sprumford, thank you very much for the tip.
	I saw the mother of all Marxist yard signs recently near Stovermont.
	It said, Black Trans Lives Matter.
	I hope it was a satire, but these days it's hard to tell the difference.
	I don't think it is.
	We'll talk more about that tomorrow.
	Thank you. Have a good day. Thank you so much, all of you, for your support.
	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.
	Ha ha ha! And you want to know something else?
