Using free speech to free minds.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
As the clock strikes 13, it's Tuesday, the 25th of June, Year of Our Lord 2024.
Well, today we're going to take a look at what is happening with Julian Assange.
We also have a claim that the Federal Reserve has been hacked.
They got 33 terabytes of information, if true.
That's going to take them a while to go through it.
As part of a ransomware group, we have our...
We have some stranded astronauts in space.
We have more and more death news about the vaccines.
We're going to take a look at the in-depth food vaccines in our food.
They've been doing this in pigs for quite a while.
They're moving towards vegetables as well, in case you're thinking that you're going to be safe as a vegetarian.
We'll be talking about money.
Our guest today will be looking at a book that she wrote about the petrodollar and how its failure is connected to the global dystopian schemes that we're all looking at.
And finally, we're going to have the prohibition against mutilating minors here in Tennessee is going to the Supreme Court.
We'll be right back. Well, it broke yesterday afternoon that there has been an agreement reached that Julian Assange is going to plead guilty this week to violating U.S. espionage law.
He's not a citizen of the U.S. Anyway, in a deal that will end his imprisonment in Britain, See, that's the key thing.
Conspiring to obtain.
That is the allegation that they made to distinguish it from the Pentagon Papers.
Pentagon Papers taken by Daniel Ellsberg, given to the Washington Post and New York Times, had a Supreme Court case to protect the First Amendment, said that they could publish anything they were given, since they didn't steal the stuff, you couldn't go after them.
They said they could go after Daniel Ellsberg, but they let him go on a technicality.
Interesting, just like Bill Ayers, the weatherman was like, go on a technicality.
Anyway, Assange is due to be sentenced to 62 months of time, already served.
Way more than that, actually.
He left Belmarsh Prison yesterday before being bailed by the UK High Court and boarding a flight that afternoon.
It's interesting, I remember back during the transition period between the election of Trump in 2016 and taking office in 2017, January, and I remember Jerome Corsi came on my program and said that, oh yeah, QAnon, Trump is going to release Julian Assange.
And we have it here because, look, there's some vague references to red and white, that must mean Switzerland, so he's going to be released through Switzerland.
I said, really? Okay, we'll see.
2017, seven years ago.
And to all the crew, I said, we're not having Corsi back on if he's going to push this QAnon nonsense.
And of course he did. He wrote this QAnon predictions to a pretty high level.
He published a book.
He was advertising it on Rush Limbaugh.
It sold a lot of money. It sold a lot of those books, made a lot of money.
It was all nonsense.
He and Alex were pushing the fact that they, you know, they had inside knowledge about QAnon.
I said, well, you know, whenever you get an anonymous source, Yeah, that's fine if you're not going to tell people who the source is, but you better know who the source is.
And you better vet them for whether or not they're credible or not.
And the problem is, they claimed that they knew who the source was in QAnon.
They knew who Q was.
And yet, when Q turned on them, they never said anything about it.
They never said who it was supposed to be.
Well, we knew who Q was, but now this is somebody else pretending to be Q. We'll just name some names.
At this point, they verify it.
But what could possibly go wrong with an anonymous source that speaks in riddles?
Like Nostradamus.
It's just ridiculous.
But anyway, this is real.
Finally, and long overdue, Assange was indicted during the Trump administration.
And it was just a couple of months after CIA Bill Barr was made Attorney General, and he came after Assange.
Remember, he was a very young attorney general for George H.W. Bush, but he was also like the number two guy for George H.W. Bush when he was put in as director of the CIA. The two of them rebuilt the CIA after it was damaged by the church hearings and the Pike hearings and the Congress.
And that was the thing that gave us the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and the FISA court.
And what they were able to do was to take the thing that was supposed to restrain them, FISA and the FISA court, and use that as a rubber stamp to do exactly what they were prohibited from doing.
That was the whole purpose of these things.
They moved it over to the sensational assassinations and coups and stuff like that, and then after they passed the act to stop the CIA and the NSA and other government agencies from spying on the American people, which they had done from their inception...
Right after World War II. It's interesting to see that there's an article broke yesterday talking about how, well, they're using the Postal Service to spy on people.
They've always used the Postal Service to spy on people.
Going back to the 1800s, it even says it later on in the article.
It's called a mail cover.
I know when we moved here, and I did a change of address thing, and when I gave them an email...
They continue to send me pictures of everything that they put in the post.
Here's what's coming to you today.
So, yeah, they do that as a matter of course, and I'm sure they send a copy of that email to the FBI as well.
So... Fine.
We live in a surveillance state.
I'm not going to back away from any of this stuff.
It's just ridiculous what is happening.
Of course, that's our personal email.
A personal mail and personal email.
But... It's crazy what they do.
And they could glean a lot of information out of that, not as much as they do with all the rest of the ways that they're spying against us.
Why are they making an issue out of that?
Is it because they want to distract people away from the core way that they're looking at us?
Good question. I don't really know what their motivation is to start talking about Mail covers, after they've been doing them again for over a century.
The trove of more than 700,000 documents that Julian Assange got included diplomatic cables, battlefield accounts such as the 2007 video of a U.S. Apache helicopter firing at suspected insurgents in Iraq, killing a dozen people, including two Reuters news staff.
That video was released in 2010.
It was called Collateral Damage.
Do you remember that? You could see the video footage and what these guys are laughing about and so forth, and you could clearly see what they saw.
What they saw was an ambulance marked with a cross on it.
What they saw were people carrying cameras.
They shot them up.
And then when the ambulance came to put the wounded and made some of the dead into their ambulance, then they shot the ambulance up, waited for them to load the ambulance up and shot the ambulance up.
You know, it's interesting. Nobody was ever prosecuted for collateral murder.
And nobody in the military was ever made to answer for this.
And yet they came after Julian Assange to try to kill him.
That's the way... That tells you how corrupt...
Our government is.
They always come after the people who tell the truth.
And there's never, when they tell the truth about crimes being committed, there's never any indictment even of the people who committed the crimes.
Take a look at James Clapper, who was brought in to testify to Congress.
Ron Wyden says, are you spying on the American people?
Oh, well, no, Senator, not deliberately.
Right. Accidentally!
Oh, look at this!
I didn't want to see that, right?
And of course, he committed perjury.
It was revealed just a couple of months after he said that ridiculous thing.
We all knew he was lying.
Just a couple of months later, you had the Snowden leak, so they come after Snowden.
They always come after the people who tell the truth.
Not the people who commit the crimes.
Many press freedom advocates have argued that criminally charging Assange represents a threat to free speech.
Well, absolutely does.
Yeah.
The outcome of this hearing today will make it clear the extent of the cover-up.
The only fair I shouldn't even talk about fairness at this stage because the country that's trying to extradite him plotted to murder him.
Yeah, that's true.
So the question is, will he be able to stay alive?
And we've had, you know, it has now been exposed how the U.S. wanted Pompeo and others are talking about how they could assassinate Assange.
Guard Goldsmith, it's good that he'll be free and no longer tortured, but the deal is bogus.
Because he confessed to breaking espionage laws, is that the way you're saying it?
That he confessed to crimes that he didn't commit?
Or is it bogus because they're going to try to kill him?
I mean, I agree.
I hope that he makes it, and it is an attack on the First Amendment.
Make no doubt about it.
They've been attacking the First Amendment for quite a long time.
I think there's also a political dimension to this.
You know, this has been a hot-button issue for Trump.
He still would not commit to releasing Julian Assange, even though it was his administration who escalated the prosecution and came up with these charges.
You know, prior to that, they were just holding him.
You knew that it was the U.S. government, but they were holding him for some bogus rape charges.
Those things were recanted and that went away, you know, out of, what was it, Sweden or something?
And then it became about, but you didn't, you know, you skipped bail or whatever when we had you on these other bogus charges.
And they waited until they had Bill Barr and the Trump administration put it in.
Trump has been questioned many times, why didn't you pardon Julian Assange?
Good question. Alex Jones said he was adamant that Trump was going to pardon Julian Assange just before he left office.
Yeah, yeah.
And that's not, that's in addition, I mean, that's what he made, the claim that he made in January 2021, not going back to 2017.
It's always going to be Trump was going to pardon Julian Assange, but he didn't.
And when he was asked about that, well, you know, there were the two of them, you know, Assange and Snowden.
One of them, maybe I could pardon, but it was kind of complicated.
The other one probably shouldn't have.
I'm not going to say which is which.
He's really just cagey about it.
He has no principles. He's just...
Playing with people, he'll say anything to get elected.
It's disgusting. Even now, you know, more recently.
Well, we'll see, you know, when I asked about Julian, I'll really take a look at that.
He said the same thing about Fauci, didn't he?
Firing Fauci, and he gave Fauci a medal.
And so, when we go back and we look at the history of Trump and WikiLeaks, the Canadian Broadcasting Association, Somebody did their summary of it.
WikiLeaks! I love WikiLeaks!
During the 2016 election campaign, Donald Trump repeatedly extolled the leaker of the Democrats' secrets and reveled in the damage he believed WikiLeaks would do to Hillary Clinton's campaign.
This WikiLeaks is like a treasure trove!
It's a different story now that Julian Assange is under arrest and facing a criminal conspiracy charge for the theft of official U.S. secrets.
Do you still love WikiLeaks?
I know nothing about WikiLeaks.
Liar. Liar. I know nothing really about them.
I don't really have any opinion.
Trump's longtime friend and advisor Roger Stone has boasted that he kept the Trump campaign in direct touch with Assange.
He faces criminal charges for trying to cover up his contacts with WikiLeaks.
He became a willing player with the Russians.
Oh! Gold bar! I'm in this. Democrats are hoping Assange extradition means they'll get some answers about what was going on between Russia, WikiLeaks, and the Trump campaign.
I think it's very good for us to finally get him on U.S. soil so we can investigate, we can basically cross-examine, we can find out the facts...
The uniparty government, isn't it?
...and his connections and how he basically distributed his information.
WikiLeaks believes that's the whole game, that the charge today is an attempt to get Assange extradited to the U.S. on one crime and then force him to testify or be prosecuted on other things.
So, Keith, it seems clear there's been an evolution in the way Trump perceives Assange, but there was a time when Americans were really divided.
Was he a whistleblowing journalist or a threat to U.S. national security?
Is that still the case? Well, not to the extent it was.
And that's because of what we've learned with the passage of time.
Assange really does seem to focus more on exposing U.S. secrets than those of other countries, such as Russia or China.
And in the 2016 election, he seemed clearly to be a Russian tool to Yeah, that's funny how the politicians' views evolve when they are campaigning or after they get elected.
You know, they're constantly evolving 180 degrees that way or evolving 180 degrees back the other way.
Yeah, their heads are spinning just like Linda Blair's in The Exorcist.
I mean... And for the same reasons, by the way.
So, you heard that at the very beginning.
Well, you know, Julian Assange really kind of focused on America more than he did Russia or China or anything.
So he must be a Russian or Chinese agent.
So what? Even if that were true.
But look, again, going back to the Pentagon Papers, which is a close parallel to this, everything that was there by Daniel Ellsberg was about the Vietnam War.
It was all about America. It wasn't about Russia or China or any other country like that.
So what? How is that relevant?
You know, is it true?
Or is it not true?
That's the issue. Do we have a free press?
Or do we not have a free press?
That's the issue.
And why are they after Julian Assange?
Because the goal is not to completely subjugate Afghanistan.
The goal is to use Afghanistan to wash money out of the tax bases of the United States, out of the tax bases of...
Now it's Ukraine....through Afghanistan and back into the hands of a transnational security elite.
That is the goal. I.e., the goal is to have an endless war, not a successful war.
And that's what's going on with Ukraine right now.
Ukraine is a massive money laundering machine.
Afghanistan was as well.
Afghanistan was not only money laundering, but it was part of the drug war.
You had massive poppy fields there being guarded by soldiers and the world's supply of opioids.
Over 95% of it, through the time that we occupied Afghanistan, it went up to record levels, and it was like 95% of the world's supply was coming out of Afghanistan while we were controlling it.
Now, in Ukraine, we've gone in and we've backed what many people have said.
Many people on supposedly both sides of this union party have come out and said that Ukraine is the most corrupt government on earth.
And we keep seeing all this money being laundered through these Ukrainian corporations to the Biden family through Burisma.
You know, $10 million here, $120 million there that just John Solomon, who is a very careful journalist with his research, made that allegation.
Another $120 million from Burisma to the Bidens that he just located.
Now, that hasn't been talked about a great deal, hasn't been vetted by other people, but John Solomon's got a very good record.
And folks, that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Just like Afghanistan, just like Julian Assange said, that Afghanistan was a money laundering issue.
To launder money, we pour American money into this thing, and then it filters back to the politicians in America.
And the same thing is happening with Ukraine.
And they're willing to play brinksmanship with World War III and nuclear war in order to get their money.
And so, we just need to have Trump in because he's going to, he's got a plan to solve everything, right?
Well, here is Donald Trump's deputy director of the CIA talking about how Trump is going to end the Ukrainian war.
Oh, sorry, wrong one.
Wrong one. Let's go to this.
These countries are relying on Russian energy to run their economies.
We need to increase our energy production.
We need to sanction the Russian Federation Central Bank, which Larry Kudlow and I called upon the president to do before the invasion of Ukraine, and started cutting back on Russian oil sales.
Keep in mind, Margaret, we're the first administration to give lethal aid to the Ukrainians.
The Javelin missiles, which stopped the Russian invasion to start with.
And I give the Biden administration credit for getting them some aid afterwards.
But it was always too little too late.
We need to bring Vladimir Putin to the table, and the way to do that is what Larry Kudlow and I called for, and what President Trump has called for, is to put massive sanctions on the Russians to bring Putin to the table so we can have a negotiated peace treaty.
We've got to stop the killing in Ukraine.
We've got to stop the killing of Ukrainians.
We've got to stop the killing of Russians.
And we need peace in the world.
And our weakness, this too little too late telling the Ukrainians they can have some weapons, but they can't have others.
They can use some weapons, but they can't use others.
The half-measure sanctions.
None of that's helping in the war in Ukraine.
It's a lack of leadership under the Biden administration.
Trump will get this war settled very quickly.
Yeah, Trump's going to settle it very quickly.
We'll escalate it. Same, it sounds like to me.
No, they don't have any solution.
Guard got back to us.
As they said, it's totally bogus agreement.
He said, yes, a two-fold problem.
The statute is unconstitutional.
The application against a foreigner is absurd.
And the British had statutes that should have prevented his extradition.
He adds, good thing that Trump pardoned Jared's pals.
Yeah, it's the money, isn't it?
It's the money. Just like the Ukrainian war.
Yeah, it's all the money. It's like Rudy.
Yeah, I can get you a pardon.
That'll be a million dollars, he says to John Kiriakou to get you a pardon, even after John Kiriakou had served the time.
And he said, well, I want the pardon so I can get my pension of $700,000, but it doesn't make any sense.
I don't have a million dollars.
It wouldn't make any sense to spend a million dollars to get a $700,000 pension anyway.
But yeah, I absolutely agree with Gard.
Liberty conspiracy, by the way, I'm sure he'll be talking about this tonight.
Maybe he talked about it last night because it broke yesterday afternoon.
But yeah, it is, you know, British statutes to avoid this type of thing.
They completely ignore that. Sounds familiar, doesn't it?
Political persecutions.
We see them happening everywhere.
You know, Trump... And a fundraiser said that when he was booked, you know, when he got the mug shot, that he put on mugs and everything else and used it as a fundraiser.
He said when they did that, they tortured him in prison.
Yeah, why don't you go talk to somebody that was one of the January 6th prisoners of Trump.
Why don't you talk to some of the people who were foolish enough to follow you, foolish enough to trust you?
And Alex, let's stop the steel stuff.
Talk to them about torture.
We just had one of the January the 6th prisoners who's been in prison for a very long time.
They just died of a heart attack in prison.
I think it was a heart attack. They died from.
They died in prison.
Trump's got it so hard, doesn't he?
He's had his legal fees paid by the money that he grifted off of these people with Save America back in 2020.
He hasn't had to pony up any of these charges.
He gets the same suckers who follow him and give him money to pay for his legal expenses.
He hasn't spent any time in prison.
He's claiming still that, oh, they had an order to try to kill me.
And it's like, well, why don't you look at the form that they use?
They use that same form for everybody.
And other people do get killed with these no-knock raids and SWAT team raids and all the rest of this stuff.
The FBI is out of control.
The police SWAT teams are out of control.
We're living in a police surveillance state.
And this narcissist pretends that he's the victim and he never did anything to help anybody.
Whether it's Julian Assange or whether it's a J6 people, never does anything for anybody else.
He demands 100% loyalty from everybody else.
And in return, you get nothing from Donald Trump.
Benedict Donald. Well, let's take a look at the so-called hacking of the Federal Reserve.
And we'll take a look at that when we come back.
Steve Swan said, if I was Assange...
I wouldn't feel safe going to Globalist Australia.
I think if I was Julian Assange, I wouldn't feel safe going anywhere.
You know, they have, you know, you might have an accident somewhere.
One of their favorite things, of course, we've seen the document's been released, and the CIA has all these different ways to make murders look like accidents.
You know, 30 feet or above, if you have a fall, that's just an accident.
We're going to take a quick break.
We'll be right back. The common man.
They created common core to dumb down our children.
They created common past to track and control us.
Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing.
And the communist future.
They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
That is what we have in common.
That is what they want to take away.
Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.

Well, an article came out by Mikhail Thelen talking about what is being said about a possible hack of the Federal Reserve.
I know Mikhail Thelen.
He used to work at InfoWars.
Does good work. He's at the Daily Dot right now.
Ransomware Group threatens Federal Reserve.
Claims that it hacked America's, quote, banking secrets.
And they claim they have 33 terabytes of information.
Well, we'll see what happens.
If they got 33 terabytes, it's going to take some time for somebody to get through it.
But to find any needles in that haystack is going to take a while.
That's one of the things that the government does if they comply.
With your request for information, what I found in the past, is that they'll just give you this massive data dump and say, yeah, go fish.
See if you can find anything in this.
Just overwhelm you with information.
The ransomware group known as LockBit claimed to have hacked the Federal Reserve Bank.
It says it'll release 33 terabytes of sensitive data today.
So we'll see about that. It won't take too long for us to find out what's going on with this.
The criminal organization...
Excuse me.
Alleged that it had been in talks with the bank in order to secure a ransom in exchange for keeping the data private.
And they said, you better hire another negotiator within 48 hours and fire this clinical idiot who values America's bank secrecy at only $50,000.
They want more money, so fire this guy.
He's not going to give us more money than that.
So, the Daily Dot reached out to the Federal Reserve to confirm whether or not these claims are true, but of course they didn't receive a reply.
Nobody likes to admit that they've been hacked and it's ransomware, whether it's true or not.
So, in remarks on X, the malware sample hosting service, VX Underground, expressed doubts that the cybercrime group had managed such a feat.
They said, if LockBit Ransomware Group actually ransomed the Federal Reserve It would be DEFCON 2, and the administrators would need to worry about a drone strike.
Seriously, this is what we were just talking about Julian Assange.
That's one thing to release information about the U.S. military.
It's another thing to release information, another level to release information about the spies.
And there's yet another level to release information about the Federal Reserve.
The real government there.
So they said, unless Lockbit ransomware group ransomed something small in the Federal Reserve, like maybe Lockbit took down their coffee machine and they can't watch anime or something.
We don't know what the staff of the Federal Reserve actually do, they said.
So it could be that they're making coffee and watching anime.
We don't know what they're doing.
Add some more zeros to the bank account there.
We don't have to print the money.
We just put the zeros behind the existing numbers there on the computer.
That's, I think, what they do.
Cybersecurity analyst and security researcher Dominic Alvieri, also a skeptic, He said there's no proof, so it's probably just blowing off steam, he said.
And he told Daily Dot he thought they were just attempting to get attention.
He said Lockbit's claim is likely complete and utter nonsense, a tactic designed to get its ailing ransomware as a service back into the limelight.
Given that LockBit claims the data will be published on Tuesday, that's today, assuming that the Federal Reserve doesn't pay the alleged ransom, it won't be long until everybody's questions are answered.
Just last month, the UK's National Crime Agency revealed the alleged identity of LockBit's leader.
The man, a Russian national, Dmitry Koroshev, has since been sanctioned.
That should scare him a great deal.
He's been sanctioned. These are people who are cyber criminals.
He doesn't care about that.
But the U.S. government has put a ransom on his head of 10 million dollars.
Leading to the arrest or the conviction or maybe the drone striking of Koroshev.
I talked to Gautry about this.
He said, yeah, things...
I said, you know, you see all these different hacks that are happening right now.
The car stuff that I was talking about last week, it's still, as far as I can tell, it's ongoing.
You know, you centralize stuff, you computerize everything, you keep it on the internet.
We have an incredibly fragile infrastructure.
That's just one example of it.
Now, the actual infrastructure where you're talking about power generation, you know, transportation and core supplies, like we saw with the Colonial Pipeline, they were able to shut down the largest pipeline on the East Coast Not because they took over the actual physical pipeline, but because they took over the accounting part of it.
And so, you know, they locked up their accounting files.
So they couldn't keep track of what they'd sold or payments that they got and that type of thing.
And so they turned off the oil because you get these ancillary things.
In the same way, we saw the FAA shut down all flights.
For about 24 hours.
Because the NOTAM system.
The system that is a messaging system that all the planes use to let them know if there's some kind of an issue on a runway or an airport or in the vicinity of that.
And without that alert notification system there, the FAA shut down all the airports.
And then they claimed that it wasn't a hack.
And yet, about an hour and a half after it all came back, they said, oh, it's just a problem with the NOTAM computer.
Oh, really? About an hour and a half after that happened, Canada's NOTAM went down.
And it came up a lot quicker.
I guess they decided right away that they would pay the ransom.
So, yeah, things are really crazy right now.
And so... The issue is, as I say, are these some things that are being done by the Russians to, it's kind of a warning, you know, when you look at what is happening in Cuba.
Are some of these ransomwares, of course, a lot of them are just motivations of freelancing criminals.
But I would imagine that Russia, China, but especially Russia, is going to want to do some things to make the U.S. think twice about attacking their infrastructure with missiles.
They can do the same damage with cyber attacks here.
Remember back into the Obama administration, I thought it was a very provocative and dangerous thing for Obama to say, but he said if somebody does a cyber attack, that's the same as if they launch missiles.
Yeah, that's right.
The problem is that you can never tell who does a cyber attack.
You can tell where the missiles came from.
Just like they know where the missiles came from when they bombed the people on Sevastopol Beach in Crimea over the weekend.
They know where those came from.
But when it's a cyber attack, as we've seen, because the NSA and CIA got hacked themselves, Vault 7 was a program that they had to make it look like they were anybody.
The CIA could hack somebody and make it look like they were the Russians or the Chinese or North Korea or anybody.
And so you can never tell with a cyber attack who it is.
But, you know, as you start to see these things and you start to see them escalate, as they continually come after infrastructure and big attacks on our economy, But I don't think anybody in Washington cares, do you? Do you think they care about the damage being done to our country?
No. When they talk about America first, as one of the commentators said, that doesn't mean Americans first.
They're not putting our interests first.
It's just perhaps they've got to tear down America first.
Maybe that's what America first really means.
And so, in San Francisco, you have a McDonald's that has been in business for 30 years, having to shut down.
Just reported last week, an Arby's that had been in business for 55 years, and the 91-year-old owner, who is in great physical and mental condition, apparently, based on the interview with her, had to shut it down.
That particular one in a great location in L.A., that Arby's that had been there for 55 years, she said the thing that really did her sin was the lockdown, Trump's lockdown.
And then, of course, it was the minimum wage increase to $20 an hour from Gavin Nuisance.
And then the McDonald's franchise mandate, that they're going to have to buy a lot more equipment.
And I think those last two things, I think the $20 an hour minimum wage, only for fast food chains, like Arby's, like McDonald's, even though these are individually owned, this McDonald's in San Francisco that's been there for 30 years, that's family owned, just like that Arby's that had been there for 55 years, that was family owned, but these people are not essential.
And I think that Gavin Newsom is targeting...
With a higher minimum wage, targeting these businesses in order to coerce them to twist their arms to fire people who work there and replace them with robots being made by his Silicon Valley investors.
Investors in him. And so the McDonald's in San Francisco permanently shuttered Sunday after more than 30 years.
This is gut-wrenching day for my family, he said.
Scott Roderick, the owner.
He blamed the closure on a number of factors, but he said the newly rolled out law hiking the statewide minimum wage from $16 to $20 an hour pushed the business over the edge.
And again, that's only for franchises, you know, big chains like McDonald's and Arby's and things like that.
He said it was also coupled with a landlord refusing to negotiate on long-term rent, high property taxes, a mall tenant fee, a lot of different things involved.
But there's also, in California, a taco chain Rubio's Coastal Grill, forced to close dozens of locations across the state.
In June, and then to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy days later.
A fast food chain Foster's Freeze also shuttered a location near Fresno and directly blamed the new minimum wage for its demise.
In other instances, the cost to raise workers' pay has been passed on directly to the customers.
Some chains, like McDonald's and Wendy's and Burger King, Starbucks, Chipotle, have raised their prices by up to 8% in California.
Well, of course, if you raise your minimum wage by 25%, 8% ain't going to hack it.
And yet, by raising it 8%, that's still driving away customers.
Their business has decreased if they take that approach.
And we look at the ongoing knock-on effects of Trump's lockdown.
Killed right away.
A lot of mom and pop businesses.
Right away. Now, I know Trump doesn't have any feeling for that, but it really bothered me.
I mean, I grew up in a family where both my grandfathers had a business, my father had a business, I grew up around the family dinner table, everybody talking about what the government was going to do next.
The biggest problem in staying alive was what the government was going to do.
And that was 60 years ago.
Look at how bad it is now.
Absolute predatory government that has essentially shut down the kinds of businesses that they were doing.
They were doing manufacturing and some other things, small manufacturing stuff.
That's all gone to China.
They've shut it down domestically with regulations and other things like that.
It really hit home, really made me despise Benedict Donald Trump.
And the actions that he took.
These people poured their blood, sweat, their money into this business only to have it taken away with this nonsense lockdown.
What a bunch of nonsense that was.
It was a plague.
A political plague.
A psychological plague. Trump added twice as much to the national debt as Biden.
And a lot of this was lockdown fraud.
The Trump administration borrowed $8.4 trillion.
Biden so far has borrowed $4.3 trillion.
By that they mean they spent more than they've got.
Trump added in non-pandemic aid $4.8 trillion.
Biden added $2.2 trillion.
Most of Biden's non-pandemic-related additions were due to his infrastructure law, so that'd be green subsidies, crony capitalism, and student debt relief, buying the votes of students by canceling their debt.
And most of what he did, they said, was due to his executive actions.
The two parties added to the debt in different ways.
Republicans doing it mostly through bipartisan legislation.
Democrats doing it more through executive actions, executive orders.
77% of the Trump administration's additions to the national debt were attributable to bipartisan legislation.
Reading between the lines, folks, it was a bipartisan thing to do all of this stuff with the pandemic.
Stimulus checks and all the rest of this stuff.
Remember, Thomas Massey was the only one who had a problem with it.
The other people just wanted to rubber stamp it.
They didn't want to come back and even give a voice vote to it.
He forced them to bring it back.
And Trump said, I want primary that guy out.
Remember? Thomas Massey.
He doesn't want anybody with any principles.
No, the pandemic is bipartisan.
It truly is. The money that they spent and all the rest of it.
And then when we look at what happened to this pandemic money, the IRS is saying that the vast majority of the pandemic employee retention credit claims are likely scams.
It all was a scam.
It was all a scam.
It was a bipartisan scam.
Trump was pushing it as president.
He was proud of it as president.
And it was all a scam.
This massive increase, this escalating the federal government's spending to an all-new level, If he could add $8 trillion, then Biden's like, well, sure, I'll do the student debt stuff.
It's only a few hundred billion dollars.
That's no problem.
You know, you set this precedent of higher spending.
You can add the internal revenue service says reason to the ranks of federal agencies conceding that reigning taxpayer money on everyone.
Um, yeah, they're actually pissing down our backs and telling us it's raining to quote Josie Wales.
It's raining.
There's raining money that just falling out of the sky.
Helicopter cash.
Isn't that great?
To offset the negative effects of the pandemic era, that should be pandemic error, E R R O R closures did not go as well as intended.
Not only a program meant to offset the cost of paying workers during lockdowns and voluntary social distancing prone to being gamed, but the vast majority of claims submitted to the program show evidence of being fraudulent.
You remember I reported about a guy who said, I saw this plan and I called up people that I knew in the Trump administration and I said, this is ridiculous.
You don't have any controls whatsoever.
It's going to be total fraud.
This is just a blank check to steal money.
The reply was, well, we haven't had any losses yet.
He said, you haven't started the program yet.
I'm telling you how this thing is going to work.
And so now we see four years later.
Wow, really? That really happened?
Okay, well, I guess they were right when they said it.
Stimulus fueled inflation as well as fraud.
It wasn't just the fraud, but, of course, the inflation that comes with it.
It's maddening enough, says Reason, The federal government is handing out vast sums of money to con artists, but Americans are contending with a 2024 economy in which the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' own inflation calculator finds that it takes $124.77 to purchase what $100 bought in 2019 before Trump's pandemic moves.
So, you know, the last year of Trump and all this pandemic stuff and the new explosion of spending and fraud, graft and corruption, and Biden continuing most of that, and now costs about 25% more to buy things.
Federal stimulus programs are directly to blame for much of that inflationary slippage and the dollar's buying power.
U.S. fiscal stimulus during the pandemic contributed to an increase in inflation of about 2.6 percentage points in the U.S., said three economists with the Federal Reserve Bank.
They estimated that last year.
I wonder if these guys have got their data, if they actually got the data.
Maybe we could see their messaging back and forth to each other.
How are we going to hide this?
Kind of like ClimateGate.
We could have InflationGate or QuantitativeEasingGate.
We could have a whole bunch of gates out there, couldn't we?
The gates of hell. The reason, they said, was the government injected large amount of money into the economy.
Oh, okay. Money created from thin air to artificially pump up the economy.
That's what they do.
That's what they do. Brian and Deva Cartney.
Regulated to death. That's what we are, yeah.
SolarCat1980. I can't find sympathy for junk food restaurants closing up.
Well, yeah, I understand.
I mean, they're...
But nevertheless, these people have...
Yeah, that's what they have invested in.
And the issue is that it's not just them.
And a lot of people who had, you know, we could look at things like nail salons, for example.
Whether or not you use nail salons, whether or not you think that is a totally useless thing.
What these service businesses, and restaurants are a key part of it, what these service businesses have provided is the last place that the middle class has where they can do entrepreneurship.
And Trump and Biden are shutting that down.
That's what makes me furious.
I don't care about hair salons or nail salons, but I care about the people who run them.
And I care about the kind of people who take on the risk and pour their money and do the extra work because I've been one of those people.
Handy. My little handyman business died during the lockdown because I refused to comply with Lowe's and Home Depot mask rules.
Yeah, isn't that great? The big box retailer.
Home Depot and Lowe's were essential.
But you were not essential, said Trump.
You're deplorable or non-essential.
Which is worse? So I like Goy says, on the flip side, a shutdown of fast food joints might solve the obesity epidemic.
My son says the government shouldn't be picking the winners and losers.
First they came for the fast food joints and I said nothing.
And then they came for everything else.
Andy, I've seen hospital ERs shut down for a few hours because of a computer problem.
Instead of prioritizing the patient, they prioritize the billing and shutdown.
Yeah, that's amazing.
Again, like I said, the ancillary system, you know, you go after the NOTAM or you go after the accounting system and you shut down the hospitals because it's all about the money.
Boy, that was really driven home to us in the lockdown stuff as well, was it?
Amerigun says, torture to Trump is a day without Diet Coke and McDonald's.
I guess that's what it was.
They nearly starved me to death.
KWD-68. Trump can also be tortured with inattention.
There you go. Or, you know, a bad hair day or a bad photograph.
I guess he was just on pins and needles wondering how he was going to get that patented scowl to show them.
We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back.
And we're going to talk about what is happening with Boeing and these astronauts.
That are stranded. They can't get back from the space station because it's leaking.
You know, we've been talking about Julian Assange.
There's a different kind of leak up there.
We'll be right back.
♪♪♪
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
♪♪♪ ♪♪♪ Yeah, we got some NASA astronauts who are stranded in space.
I don't want to make light of this.
I think they're going to get back okay, but this is another Boeing mess up here.
And they had to delay and delay and delay the Starliner launch of Boeing's rocket.
They had to delay that over and over again because they had leaks.
And then finally they decided, well, okay, we still got leaks, but we're going to shoot it up anyway.
I don't think they're too bad.
It turns out that it was worse than they thought.
They get up there, they've got even more leaks after it goes through the stress of a launch.
What a surprise. And now they're delaying it, and they say they may need to have SpaceX come up and do a rescue mission.
See, this is one of the reasons why Musk can do whatever he wants.
These people need him, desperately.
Can they put a man on the moon?
You've heard this so many times, right?
Let's talk about how can they put a man on the moon and have this kind of a space program, right?
60 years ago.
It's ridiculous.
It's ridiculous if we believe most of the stuff in the space program.
They can't figure out how to do this anymore.
NASA can't do anything.
They're dependent now on contractors.
And of course, Boeing and the long list of problems that they've had with the airlines.
But Boeing wants to get into the space business.
Well, not a good start.
And Boeing is one of our big defense contractors as well.
We might find that as they keep pushing and pushing and pushing for World War II, we might find out That these military industrial corporations have gotten so fat, so lazy, so DEI heavy, that they can't do anything anymore.
There's incredibly complex systems.
They... Just don't work.
NASA has delayed the return of two astronauts from the International Space Station for the third time, raising concerns that the crew could be stranded, could be lost in space.
By the way, that music, I didn't realize it when I was watching that as a kid.
Of course, you know, nobody knew anything about John Williams.
That was another John Williams thing.
He did that theme song.
And he listened to it. It's like, yeah, I can hear John Williams in that.
Anyway, John Williams is safe on Earth, though.
Fortunately, I hope so. You know, he's in his 90s.
Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams initially scheduled for a nine-day stay, which was pushed back twice this month and now sits at an undetermined date.
Rudy Rudolfi, the former space system commander and space technology acquisition manager, told DailyMail.com that Boeing may be forced to abandon Starliner and use one of SpaceX's Dragon capsules to bring the two astronauts home.
That would be a great deal of humiliation, and it probably would end...
Boeing will still want the capsule back.
The service module is the part with all the problems, and they'll lose that on reentry no matter what they do.
The capsule, though, it can be returned autonomously to a hard landing in the U.S. and recovered.
But if they start talking about a rescue mission by chance, it would indicate that there are some serious, potentially life-threatening hardware defects found with the Starliner.
They had two planned spacewalks, June 24th, yesterday, and July the 2nd.
Well, it turns out that spacewalk yesterday didn't go too well either.
It also failed.
And so, what happened as they were preparing for the spacewalk, the NASA astronaut said, water is starting to squirt out of my suit.
The water? They got water in the suit?
What's the deal with that? So I look that up.
It's like, well, why do they have water in the suit?
She said, I can see the ice crystals flowing out here.
Well, it turns out they've got five different reasons that they use water.
First of all, they use it for cooling.
That'd be really important. They can use it for hydration.
It can also be part of radiation protection or fire suppression.
And then in an emergency, they can actually use electrolysis to separate the oxygen out of the water for the astronauts.
So they got a lot of different uses for it.
Of course, it's also capturing any water, I guess, that you eliminates, but these are regular, it does carry a lot of other water right there.
So, um, she, uh, started to do the spacewalk.
Tracy Dyson, uh, she said just moments before switching her suit to battery power.
She said the umbilical cooling unit.
So it was coming out of the cooling unit attached to her suit, started leaking water, forcing NASA to cancel her and fellow astronaut, Mike Barrett's imminent spacewalk.
She said, there's water everywhere.
I got an Arctic blast all over my visor.
I could see the ice crystals flowing out there, she said, just like a snow cone machine.
There was ice forming at that port.
And it's not the first time that astronauts have struggled with leaky spacesuits.
In 2022, crews on board the ISS noticed that their helmets kept filling with water, putting them in a potentially life-threatening situation.
Drowning in space.
How about that?
That would be amazing.
In 2013, European Space Agency astronaut Luca Parmitano became terrifyingly close to drowning while venturing outside of the ISS when his helmet filled with water, covering his eyes, nose and ears.
And forcing NASA to cut the spacewalk short.
It's unclear whether the next spacewalk, scheduled for July 2nd, will now take place.
Given the optics and the risks involved, NASA is likely going to play it safe for the time being.
Yeah, it doesn't look good when you have to cancel this and you have to cancel that because you've got one equipment failure after the other.
The capsule... As I said before, launched with known leaks.
It was a leak that was reportedly no larger than a shirt button and quite thin.
Well, I don't know. I mean, a shirt button?
If you've got something that's as big as a shirt button and you've got gas under pressure going out into a vacuum, I would think that'd be a pretty significant thing.
I don't know, but hey, I'm not a rocket scientist, so what do I know?
Stitch said last month that he was confident that 27...
Of these, 28 thrusters were working properly, free of leaks or other issues.
However, once they got there, they had five failures out of the 28 thrusters.
The thrusters are what they used to maneuver and to dock.
So that meant that they had to, they canceled initially the docking on June 6th.
They worked on these five thruster failures, and they rewrote some software, uploaded that, tweaked some procedures to revive four of them, and proceed with the docking.
So in other words, it's not a hardware issue, it's a software issue.
Now, the Boeing 737 MAX, that was also a software issue.
Taking over control when it sensed that there was some kind of, you know, under certain circumstances, it would take control away from the pilot.
And in two of these cases, it crashed the plane.
In many other cases, it came close to crashing the plane.
And so here, they lost these thrusters again because of software issues.
Boeing has spent $1.5 billion in cost overruns beyond its $4.5 billion NASA development contract.
So they can put a man on the moon, but they can't get the Starliner up and back from the ISS. Maybe they didn't put a man on the moon.
Music record labels are suing AI song generators Suno and Udeo for copyright infringement.
Big record companies as well as the RIAA announced the lawsuits yesterday.
As part of the lawsuit, Sony, Universal Music Group, and Warner are all part of it.
One case was filed in federal court in Boston against Suno AI, the other in New York against the developer of Udeo AI. These are applications.
You go in and you basically describe the type of song that you want, and from a text prompt, it generates a song for you.
I see it as not so much a threat to recorded music as I see it as a threat to, you know, kind of generic background music like you get from Storyblocks or some of these other services.
You know, you can subscribe to a service and they'll give you, you know, you look it up.
You search for certain things with certain keywords, and so this is just going in the opposite direction from a user perspective.
Suno AI CEO said in an email response, he said, the technology is, quote, designed to generate completely new outputs, not to memorize and regurgitate pre-existing content, and it doesn't allow users to reference specific artists.
Well, again, that's going to be the crux of the case.
It'll be an interesting way that it proceeds.
They are cannibalizing content and regurgitating it, just as we're talking about As we got a glimpse into how AI doesn't think, but it basically matches up different things.
You know, the case about the goat and the cabbage and the wolf and everything.
If you simplify that to just a person who has to take a goat across, you can see that what it's doing is it's going out there and it's finding this puzzle, and it's trying to redo that puzzle.
And when you call it out, as my son did, Whistler, who's doing the board here, wait a minute, you take the goat across, and then you go back, because the next step is to go back and to take the cabbage over and then leave that there and so forth.
And then to take the goat back over and take the wolf and come back, that type of thing.
And so then you go back, and then he gets in the boat and he goes back to, wait a minute, why'd you do that?
Oh, you're right. I don't need to do that.
Okay, let's try that again. And it gets into this thing, and finally, he just kept telling, that's wrong.
That's wrong. You don't need to do that. You don't need to do that.
And then you go back and you get the cabbage.
It's like, there's nothing about a cabbage here.
And then it just gets into this loop, you know, where it just starts spitting stuff out until it timed out.
It's not thinking. It's copying.
Everything that it does is copying.
So, in a sense, it is copying the music, but...
It'll be an interesting case, not that the Supreme Court will get it right.
Facebook is already mistakenly tagging real photographs as made with AI. And this is a real issue for professional photographers.
These are people who did this.
The false positives also highlight just how difficult it has become for even a top tech company like Facebook.
To tell what's real and what isn't.
Here's a question. How is Facebook determining what is made with AI and what isn't?
Do they have a thousand people in India?
Or are they doing this with AI? If they're doing it with AI, the irony of all this is that AI is flanking human content as created by AI to be taken down.
I think that's probably what's happening.
Nobody said anything about it in this article as to how is Facebook doing this?
Is it looking for certain clues?
Is it automated this with artificial intelligence?
Or do they have an army of slave labor in a developing country to do this?
Former White House photographer Pete Souza told TechCrunch that he believes Adobe, made to its photo editing tools, may be leading to false positives on Meta's end.
He said, what is annoying is that the post forced me to include Made with AI, even though I unchecked it.
He couldn't publish it unless he published it with Made With AI.
Another person, a photographer, said, my first brush with a dreaded Made With AI tag.
Not a single bit of generative fill used anywhere on these because I hate AI, so that's a tad concerning.
Another photographer, Peter Yon, said, how is this photo made with AI?
He said, by the way, I did not use generative AI, only Photoshop to clean up some spots This made with AI was auto-labeled by Instagram when I posted it.
I did not select this option.
So here's the question, you know, as I said before, it brings up a couple questions.
Number one, is it AI that is labeling human programs as AI created to get them taken down or whatever?
What happens when AI, that is, it's a killer app, Literally.
It's going to be as part of the surveillance and police state.
What happens when AI falsely labels you?
Falsely tags you as somebody who's wanted by the police or a terrorist or something like that, and you get SWAT teamed.
You know, people die of that kind of stuff.
Not Trump. He's safe, but other people do.
That's a real concern.
Wendy's. Because we're talking about fast food.
Says it's AI. Only screws up 14% of the drive-thru orders.
What? Only 14%?
Well, you know, that may be an 86 might be a B in some things, but when you're talking about speech recognition, it's a total F. If you've got something that hits in the high 90s with speech recognition, It still comes out as gibberish.
So if you're down in the mid-80s, forget about it.
McDonald's, of course, abandoning their AI project.
I didn't show the picture when I had those pictures last week.
When they presented this to the McDonald's franchisees, you know, they called it Archie.
And then they showed all the different aspects of it.
It's incredibly expensive and complex just to replace somebody.
They could just have somebody standing there or at a window taking your order.
Why that, you know?
Well, anyway...
They kept up screwing up orders.
One person got hundreds of unwanted chicken McNuggets and everything, so they shut that down at McDonald's.
However, at Wendy's, they're saying, well, it only gets it wrong 14% of the time.
White Castle has its own AI drive-thru ordering system.
It also requires human intervention at 10% of the time, also failing.
Whether we can believe those corporations' figures, since they're providing them, is an open question.
But customers don't like it, that's for sure.
Another person on Reddit said, this is like a version of cyberpunk dystopia.
And the question is, why are they spending so much money to alienate customers?
Why are they spending so much money to replace humans in a very simple task of taking an order?
And then, you know, go out and spend lots of money to buy product from Silicon Valley technocrats.
And then, while we're talking about technology, this article in Futurism, Trump has completely flip-flopped on crypto.
When he was president, he called it a scam.
Now, what they don't say in this article is that when he was president, Jared and Steve Mnuchin, the Goldman Sachs former banker, were ones who kicked off CBDC. And so Trump called it a scam.
He called it a scam after he was out of office as well.
But now, he says he wants all the remaining Bitcoin to, quote, be made in America.
Made in America?
Not mined in America, but made in America.
So, he's taken millions of dollars of Bitcoin in donations.
Seems to be what changed his mind.
He blasted Bitcoin just a few years ago during a 2021 Fox Business interview.
He called it a scam.
He said, I think they should regulate them.
Meaning Bitcoin. Very, very high.
At the time, he called crypto out as, quote, a disaster waiting to happen.
And said he was not a big fan.
Not a big fan. Since then, Trump has done a complete 180 with plenty of financial pressure, in part fueled by hundreds of millions of dollars that he owes in fraud cases, undermining his ongoing campaign efforts.
And he's getting lots of money from the crypto people because Biden...
has made it very clear that they want to shut down crypto.
They want to shut it down saying we don't have the energy for it, even though, as I pointed out, they have the energy for their AI, they have energy for their surveillance state and their storage with the NSA and all the rest of the stuff, but not for crypto.
And so the Winklevoss twins, I think it was over the weekend, gave a million dollars each to Trump.
Because Biden has made it clear that he's going to try to shut down crypto if he can.
Yet again, highlighting a complete lack of conviction or consistency of political beliefs, like when Trump flipped from being in favor of abortion to stridently opposing it.
And now he's flipping back to being in favor of abortion.
You know, when he flips...
Back and forth. He can always flip back the other way.
Vote for Trump, he wrote in a post.
Biden's hatred of Bitcoin only helps China, Russia, and the radical communist left.
We want all remaining Bitcoin to be made in America.
All your Bitcoin are us.
There we go. Or U.S. All your Bitcoin belong to U.S. So, as I said, it's far from the first time that Trump has completely flip-flopped.
He also railed against TikTok when he was president.
He accused it of being part of the Chinese Communist Party.
But then, what changed?
Well, he got a big contribution from Jeff Yass, right?
And even Steve Bannon criticized Trump, said he's changing his position on TikTok because of Yaskoin.
Look, I don't support targeting and shutting down any app system.
But, you know, the bottom line is that he's for sale.
He's just for sale.
When you talk about principle, he thinks of what he puts in the bank.
When you talk about convictions, he's thinking about what he gets in court.
RCF2020, thank you very much.
I appreciate that. He says the water could also be from the gigantic pool that NASA uses to fake spacewalks.
Using CGI. Could be.
Soilet Goy says, if you can print money without accountability, it seems the only reason for taxes is to keep the plebs from becoming wealthy.
That's exactly what I've said.
Yeah, if MMT, Modern Monetary Theory, It is Keynesianism on steroids.
It doesn't matter at all.
Our debt doesn't matter. Okay, well, if you don't care about the debt, then why do we have to pay taxes?
They pretend that the taxes have to be there to pay for what the government is spending.
It doesn't even come close.
They're spending more than every 100 days.
They're spending $1 trillion more than they take in.
And so, again, the taxes are simply there to cut off the rungs of the ladder for us, for the rest of us, to control us, to impoverish us.
They keep us under control.
That's what MMT is about anyway.
It says, well, deficits don't matter.
If inflation gets too high, we'll raise taxes on the people we don't like.
And we'll keep giving money to the other people that we do like.
We won't care about that. Christian Constitutional Conservative to me.
Please explain why you never criticize PPP forgiveness, but you always come down on student loan relief.
Your name looks familiar there.
I think you've commented before.
Maybe you've even watched this program before.
How in the world could you say I don't criticize PPP? I used to say it over and over again.
I even mentioned a little bit of it today.
Don't PPP down my back and tell me it's raining.
I've talked over and over again about how, of the PPP stuff, more than 50% of the money went to 5% of the recipients.
It's all corrupt. I don't know what you're talking about, but maybe you need to pay some better attention.
We're going to take a quick break.
I talk about PPP all the time.
Look, that is corruption.
It's crony capitalism.
And student loan stuff is buying votes.
If you think student loan is a good thing, you're wrong.
Because student loan is a theft.
And it's unfair to the people who worked their way through school.
It's unfair to the people who paid their loans off.
These people made this agreement.
If they made a bad decision and they got into a degree that they can't get a job with, that's life.
And they should see that as a learning opportunity.
We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.
And we'll be right back.
So,
You're listening to the David Knight show And he says I fed Google's AI photo checker a picture that I took in the mid 90s Google told me that there was an 87% probability it was altered using AI Photoshop.
Yeah, I think it's 100% probability that Google and AI doesn't know.
Did it change the pictures to black women or Asians or whatever as well?
It'd do that for you automatically.
I don't know. Dustin Helm.
I know a photographer who was a victim of saying it was made with AI. Yeah, it's going to be a very common thing, I think.
And again, the real issue is when it starts making false accusations about us because the real purpose, folks, of AI is surveillance.
The real purpose of it is geospatial intelligence and anticipatory intelligence.
That's really what AI is about.
They want to look at people and make assumptions about your politics, about your religion, and then punish you accordingly.
Jason Barker, morning all, just got back from the DMV. Thank God that's not gone AI yet.
Well, that's one of the big things.
Once you get your national ID, Jason, it's going to be so much easier to work with him.
That's what they tell you in the Ukrainian video.
2030, it's going to be a utopia where all of these government agencies that interfere with our lives Are going to help us with that ID stuff.
The reality is going to be a total nightmare for us who will not go that route.
NVIDIA's ascent to the most valuable company has echoes of the dot-com boom, says Wall Street Journal.
And I'm seeing this from a lot of people.
It certainly did seem like that to me when I looked at it.
And it's regardless of whether or not AI is going to be a very profitable thing.
Regardless of that.
Because what we're talking about here is a bubble.
We're talking about the stock market getting ahead, its expectations and its hype getting ahead of reality.
And when that happens, there's always the risk that they're going to have an emperor has no clothes moment.
As soon as somebody says, well, wait a minute, they said this was going to happen, that didn't happen, and everybody is so highly inflated, so highly bubbleized, that everybody starts to run for the exit.
Goldman Sachs thinks that a Trump victory will pop the AI tech bubble.
Why do they say that?
Well, because he's talking about, you know, Biden is talking about more tariffs as well, and of course doing sanctions and things like that.
But Trump is talking about doing massive sanctions, up to 60% tariffs on China.
So Goldman Economist said the dollar is going to strengthen under Republican White House victory regardless of whether there is a sweep or a divided government.
Trump has floated several potential tariff policies including a 10% across the board along with 60% tariff on imports from China which would spark a sharp increase in inflation.
And as Goldman notes tariff increases appear likely in the event of a Trump victory and would likely strengthen the US dollar.
I don't know.
It remains to be seen whether or not that is such a radical change.
I don't believe it will ever happen.
I think this is a lot of pie-in-the-sky talk in terms of 60% tariffs, even 10% across the board on all imports.
I don't think that's going to go.
Stocks with high international revenue exposure due to the risk of retaliatory tariffs as well as heightened geopolitical tensions.
The all too bubbly tech has the highest international sales exposures with a whopping 59% of total revenue, as they said.
Companies that are dependent on international suppliers would also face headwinds from tariffs.
All of this is the reason why the tariffs won't happen.
But still, I believe that...
There are issues with artificial intelligence that are going to be detrimental in the stock market.
David Bonson, you may know him if you're Christian, you may know him from his father, Greg Bonson, who is a brilliant Christian apologist who unfortunately died at a young age.
David Bonson is head of a wealth management firm now, the Bonson Group.
And so he was asked about AI and what it was going to do.
And this is what he had to say.
He said, I would argue, to a certain degree, the truly ontological elements of a human being cannot be replaced by a computer.
What he means by that is the essence of your humanity.
It's not going to become one of us.
It's not going to become superior to us.
So that's one of the first takeaways that I've become increasingly convinced of, is that a lot of the hand-wringing over AI, these sort of dystopian nightmares as to what it could do to our society, I categorically reject that.
In fact, I feel a great deal of confidence that those of us who have a biblical vision of the human person need not be afraid.
Now, when you talk about it from an investor standpoint, the analogy I use, he said, is that if AI is like food, the investors are making money in the ovens, but they're not making money in the restaurants.
And of course, very much like what we saw with the dot-com issue, right?
The one that I would use, the analogy, was the gold rush, right?
Who made the money in gold rush?
It was frequently not the miners.
Some of them got a lot of money.
They found a mine and they struck it rich.
Most of them didn't make anything.
Most of them failed. The people who really made a lot of money were the people who sold the picks and the axes.
And that's really where Nordstrom grew up.
The Nordstrom business grew out of that, selling picks and axes to the gold miners.
But he says they're not making money in the actual delivery of the plates of food, going back to his analogy.
He said it's in the back end, and it's impossible to look at this without making it analogous to the late 90s that we all of a sudden realized this Internet revolution was coming.
But we knew that it meant something different for cable companies, something different for telephone companies, something different for fiber optics, but ultimately devices that would be a part of it.
And so we had most of the dot-com companies It didn't make it.
Amazon did, but most of them, you know, pet.com is gone, things like that.
But he said, when you look at the companies that were there, they were part of the.com bust, and it hit all of the tech companies pretty much.
You know, it was Cisco got hit, Microsoft got hit, Intel got hit, a lot of them.
He said, Microsoft now is up a ton in the last seven years.
But where it was in 2016 is exactly the same place that it was in 1999.
How does a company like Microsoft or one like Cisco that did nothing for that period of time but make money and grow earnings?
He said they outperformed the expectations that everybody had, and yet the stock was way, way down.
In other words, they're making tons of money with Cisco, Microsoft, but the stock doesn't go anywhere.
So how does that happen?
He said, you have to believe that NVIDIA is going to grow earnings 2,000% again to kind of catch up to its valuation.
In other words, it's so massively overvalued That even though it could, as a company, be very profitable, it's going to take a long time for the stock, for the actual reality to catch up to the stock hype, is what he's saying.
That's why he's saying Microsoft, even though they're making a lot of money from 1999 to 2016, their stock didn't change.
Effectively going down with the inflation that happened in that period of time.
So he said, NVIDIA's massive, huge amount of earnings is generating now.
If it were to stay the same, it would still take 60 or 70 years to recover that investment.
Now, the earnings will keep growing, but they will not grow at a rate necessary to justify that kind of valuation.
And that was the lesson of Microsoft and Cisco coming out of 1999.
And I want to be clear, those were the winners.
Those were the companies that succeeded out of the Internet.
And so when we look at what is happening with the stock market, when we look at what is happening with the dollar and the debt, and of course we have our guests that are going to be coming on, we're going to take a look at the petrodollar as it fits into these global schemes.
This cannot go on forever, says QDR's fringe finance.
The U.S. debt crisis, in simple terms, consumers are feeling like they have two different economies.
The one they see on TV, the one they hear about in the government statistics, And the one that they're living in.
That's the reality of this stuff.
He said you hear the White House saying they got inflation tackled.
You hear businesses saying they're struggling.
You hear consumers saying that they're struggling.
But you see these numbers that are coming in and they seem to say everything is okay.
He says they're conflicting.
Well, I think that's the wrong word.
I think the correct word is they're lying.
Mark Twain said, This is going to be a lot worse than the Great Depression,
says Bill Holter. He says this unpayable debt that is now accruing at a trillion dollars every hundred days is building up in the financial system like a cancer.
He said the latest black hole of default is coming from a big bank in Japan.
Norin Chikin Bank is selling $63 billion in treasuries and other sovereign bonds to stay afloat.
Then there's recent news announced by the FDIC that 63 U.S. banks, the names are being kept secret.
Maybe if they got that, if they hacked into the Federal Reserve, we might find out today who they are.
I don't know if they did or not.
But 63 U.S. banks, not named, have more than $500 billion in losses.
And let's not forget about the trillions of losses sitting on the books of European banks ready to suck the world into a black debt hole.
This is just a few of the long list of destabilizing problems that can tank the entire over-indebted financial system of not just America, but of all of the West.
He says the system is so unstable at this point it could be anything that could bring it down.
This is a bubble, in other words, in search of a pin.
And it could be anywhere. We're exactly where Richard Russell said we would be 20 years ago.
Inflate or die.
The only way to inflate is to create more money supply.
Add to that the $10 trillion in debt that the U.S. government has to roll over by the end of the year.
Meanwhile, the U.S. government piles on a trillion dollars every 100 days.
He also says he thinks that gold is going to go exponential.
He says if you look at what the government says, they have 8,030 tons of gold in Fort Knox.
So he said you need to have, in order to cover their debt with gold, you need to have a gold price of $125,000 per ounce.
They're a long ways off, aren't they?
That's not going to happen.
I'm not claiming that gold is going to be there, but the dollar is getting pushed out of the global financial system.
And he said the financial collapse that is coming will be worse than anything we've ever experienced.
Far worse than the Great Depression, he said, simply because the society is far worse than it was in the Great Depression.
He said in the Great Depression...
People, neighbors, helped each other.
He said, they are going to have neighbors picking on other neighbors like vultures.
That's one of the reasons why it's very important to focus locally.
Why you need to be making friends and community.
Why you need to be working with the community.
You go back to the Great Depression and you see that some communities were making their own coin for trade.
Making wooden coins.
I still have them in some of the museums.
There was one in North Carolina that had some of the wooden coins that were made for that community.
But people were coming together at the local level.
Define ways to come up with barter and exchange because of what the Federal Reserve had done to the U.S. dollar.
And so the death of the petrodollar is what we're going to be talking about at the top of the hour.
And again, I thought it was kind of interesting, you know, a lot of people were talking about how The dollar, the petrodollar agreement was not renewed on its 50th anniversary and how it disappeared.
And I said at the time, I said, you know, I've never seen a picture of this agreement.
I would think that if it exists, it would be somewhere.
I always thought that it was kind of a de facto agreement.
And, you know, when Tony and I were talking about this, Tony Arterman with Wise Wolf Gold, we said, yeah, it's effectively over because Saudi Arabia is closing its purchases with Chinese yuan and they're now openly moving into BRICS and they're aligning themselves with the Bank of International Settlement and that CBDC coin and everything.
So it's effectively over.
But you had a lot of media outlets reported that it had been ended by Saudi Arabia, the Atlantic, Actually put out a retraction about it.
Said, yeah, we reported that the agreement was abrogated.
There never was an official agreement.
It was an organic de facto agreement.
So I think that's an interesting point.
There's no expiration date on it.
But look, it's not just what is happening financially that is an issue.
I mean, that would be enough of a reason to start to hedge this, you know, all these problems in this bubble in the stock market, the bubble in the dollar.
That'd be an important reason to hedge it with gold, silver, things like that.
But it's even more so what is happening with The move towards CBDC. I say this all the time.
That's why davidknight.gold take you to Tony Ardobin and you can start to accumulate gold or silver.
You can sign up on a plan and you can start getting it on a monthly basis as little as $50 up each month.
And you can start to set aside gold and silver on a regular basis, and you can also take advantage of group buys.
But of course, Tony can also process any size transaction of gold or silver, large or small.
And he can help you if you want to move some of your or all of your IRA into gold or metal or whatever.
He can help you to set up a metal IRA to move things there.
But here's where we're headed, folks.
And this is the complete removal of cash.
This is an intermediate step into CBDC. It's called PayEye.
I mentioned this earlier.
Iris payment system.
You pay with your eye. And this is coming out of Poland, a financial technical company called PayEye.
They've been doing this for a couple of years in Poland, and now they're bringing it to the United States.
Only a handful of these are in use in Michigan and East Lansing and Ann Arbor, but they've been using them in Poland for the last four years, and now they're bringing it here.
And even more concerning is that they've made connections and agreements to And these are real agreements, not just an organic agreement, but they've got agreements to use it for Visa and for MasterCard.
So you're going to start seeing this stuff everywhere.
A Michigan State University professor of computer science was the first person to make a payment with this and was just overjoyed with how easy it was to pay with his eyes or her eyes.
I don't know if it was a male or female partner.
So last year they partnered with Visa, and now this month they announced a partnership with MasterCard to begin a pilot program in selected locations in Poland, becoming the first payment pilot in Europe biometrics under the MasterCard biometric checkout program.
And now we have Apple making its moves.
In Japan, they have a national digital ID, and the Japanese legislature parliament Has just allowed these biometric IDs to be integrated with Apple devices.
So your mark of the beast is called the my number there.
That's what they call it in Japan.
My number. Great.
A data analyst says that gold will be the new reserve asset.
Our son says, imagine walking around with your credit card number engraved on your face, and you can never change it.
That's right. When it gets stolen, you can't change it.
You can't get a new one. That's the big problem with all the biometric stuff.
And so, yeah, AP RumbleSeat says, all this is very dangerous.
They'll use AI as a mining tool to falsely prosecute and do a J6 number on innocent people.
Absolutely. Absolutely.
We even saw, you know, a lot of this geospatial intelligence and geofencing used to accuse people simply for being in the area.
And who helped them to do that?
Bank of America.
We'll take a look at what people have.
When people have transactions on that date or the day or so either side of January the 6th in the Washington, D.C. area, and they turned all that stuff over to the FBI, that's why they're so adamant that they want everybody to have a digital ID. They want all these computerized payments instead of cash.
Gold will be the new reserve asset, says one data analyst.
This is Luke Groman talking to Kitco News.
He says he thinks that gold will become the new reserve asset.
The U.S. Treasuries will be dumped in the near future.
Well, that, I think, will happen with Russia and China and all the rest of them.
He said Janet Yellen is telling you, and Jake Sullivan, the National Security Advisor, is telling you what the Department of Defense is telling you, that it is a national security interest to get out of the Treasury export business and to get into the stuff export business again.
But we can't do that without a much weaker dollar and the arbiter of what is going to be the price of gold.
So you're seeing the U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen throw 40 years of economic orthodoxy into the trash.
He said, By physical gold and silver.
One analyst projects that he is on record as targeting.
He said specifically he believes that Grumman might be correct with his price target of $7,000 to $15,000 per ounce of gold.
He said, we've seen some pie-in-the-sky projections lately that have gold and silver going up tenfold, but I'm hesitant to believe in such incredible gains.
He said, Luke's target of two times to five times are not only realistic, but could be very well spot-on, especially if the BRICS nations continue their push to replace the U.S. dollar.
These are unprecedented times.
We've lived, 45 years ago, we lived through rampant inflation due to energy pricing and things like that with OPEC.
But we have never seen a situation in our lifetime where the reserve status of the dollar has changed and we've never seen a situation where they have tried to set up a global ID to track and to follow and analyze every single transaction that you had.
Those are the things that make me want to move to gold and silver again.
David Knight dot gold will take you to Tony Arderman's Wise Wolf Gold.
AP Rumble seat. They're obviously imploding the financial system to force mandated digital currency.
Attempting that simultaneously worldwide would be a nightmare.
Look at what happened in India and Africa.
Not viable. Yeah, it's going to be done with disruption.
It's going to be done from the inside, as Fauci said, and it will be done iteratively.
When we come back, we're going to talk about some updates to the vaccine chaos.
Chaos will be right back.
This is a test.
the
you're listening to the David Knight show Well, we have a peer-to-peer-reviewed study that says that 74% of the deaths that they studied with autopsies, actual autopsies, not with a PCR test.
Oh, look at this. We got a positive result from the PCR test.
This person died. Well, it doesn't matter what they died of.
If they died with a positive PCR process, we're going to say they died of COVID. No, these people actually did autopsies.
And they found that of the 325 autopsies they performed, 74% of the deaths were due to the Trump shot.
Should the Lancet staff be held liable for deaths that have resulted after it censored this now peer-reviewed paper?
You know, this is the argument that I've made.
You know, people who lied to you in order to suck up to Trump and continue to lie to you...
They cause people to die, I believe.
I think people who scared conservatives about a lab leak and some kind of gain-of-function biowarfare that came out of the labs, I think they got people killed.
The bioweapon was and is the shot.
All the rest of the stuff is a distraction.
It's a red herring to keep you from seeing what the real issue is.
It says, well, the big pharma narrative is falling apart.
Shots have been declared ineffective.
The Eighth Circuit Court recently ruled that the mRNA injections are not vaccines, right?
They're therapeutic. So that has some issues for their liability.
It also means that the emergency use authorization that was granted by the FDA was illegal.
Now we've got five states suing Pfizer for fraud.
It began with Kansas and Chris Kobach, the attorney general there, began that lawsuit saying it was fraudulent.
Now you've got four other states that are suing Pfizer.
We may actually start to spell fraud with a P in front of the F. This catches on.
They'll become synonymous with fraud, and they should.
Call it what it is.
It is a war against all humans in which crimes against humanity are seen wherever you look, says Technocracy News.
This study was called A Systematic Review of Autopsy Findings in Deaths After COVID Vaccination.
They analyzed 325 autopsy cases.
They found that a staggering 74% of deaths were either directly due to or significantly contributed to by the COVID vaccination.
The paper's lead author, Dr.
Nicholas Hulser, faced significant opposition in bringing these findings to light after initially being downloaded over 100,000 times.
The Lancet, which is the equivalent of the Journal of the American Medical Association, it's the British equivalent of that, JAMA. The Lancet removed the paper within 24 hours, according to Dr.
William Makis. This, folks, is reminiscent of what Fauci did with remdesivir.
I remember very clearly talking about, as it happened, you know, he had pushed remdesivir, and he'd push it as a treatment for AIDS, he'd push it as a treatment for Ebola, and everybody said it doesn't work, but it does kill people.
Liver and kidney, and I forget which one of those is the predominant one, but it attacks both of those.
One of them is more common than the other, but it's just like the vaccine.
It's got multiple vectors to kill you.
But it doesn't help anybody.
And there was a study that was done in China of Remdesivir.
And they published the results, and they said, yeah, that's just exactly what I just said, what we'd already seen with AIDS, with Ebola.
They said the same thing with COVID. Doesn't help, but it's a very dangerous drug.
It destroys many vital organs and that type of thing.
That critical study of remdesivir was published on the WHO website, and it was taken down within 24 hours, just like this.
And then one week later, Fauci put up his study that was not peer-reviewed.
And he said, alright, so it doesn't help anybody here, but I'm going to declare it the standard of care.
Because if the people got better, they got better 35% faster.
You know, 30 or 35% or something like that.
That's never been the standard for a therapeutic.
That doesn't say that the therapeutic works.
But that was it. That's what he had.
So he censored the other study.
He puts up his own, which again, showed that it didn't treat the disease, but he said, well, yeah, if they got better, they got better faster.
And he changed the standard, but called it the standard of care.
According to the Daily Skeptic, they quoted the paper.
I'm sorry, this is their summary of it.
The Daily Skeptic says, it's hard to know what the substance of the claim that the conclusion is not supported by the methodology really is.
A number of the authors of the paper are at the top of their fields.
So it's hard to imagine that the methodology of the review was really so poor that it warranted removal at initial screening rather than being subject to full critical appraisal.
It smacks instead of raw censorship, which is what it is.
Raw censorship of a paper that failed to toe the official line.
Keep in mind that the CDC has not yet acknowledged a single death.
Isn't that amazing? I mean, how many people have we seen drop dead immediately?
Some of them dropping dead within 24 hours or so, and yet, by their technical definition...
If these people are not vaccinated.
Especially the people who got the shot and dropped dead.
Because you have to have two shots and wait for two weeks to be counted officially as vaccinated in their database.
So if you got the shot and you dropped dead, oh, well, you weren't vaccinated.
So... The autopsy evidence demonstrates otherwise.
It's clearly not what the U.S. Public Health Establishment wants to hear.
Dr. William Makis said, Breaking news, our Lancet censored paper is now peer-reviewed and available online.
Our paper was delayed by one year.
And those actions of censorship and cancellation have led to many deaths that could have been prevented.
This paper could be a game changer.
So the 74%, that amounts to 240 of the 325 deaths, were independently adjudicated as directly due to or significantly contributed to by COVID vaccination.
The primary causes of death include sudden cardiac death, that's 35% of them, pulmonary embolism, 12.5%, Myocardial infarction, that is a heart attack, 12%.
VITT, that is the thrombosis, the blood clots, 7.9%.
Myocarditis, 7%.
Multisystem inflammatory syndrome, 4.6%.
And cerebral hemorrhage, 3.8%.
Well, you know, that's consistent with what we've been saying, isn't it?
This email was sent to me by Randy.
U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene says that the subcommittee should issue a criminal referral against Fauci.
She said, we should be recommending you to be prosecuted.
We should be writing a criminal referral.
You should be prosecuted for crimes against humanity.
You belong in prison, Dr.
Fauci. Yeah, I agree.
I agree. And so does Randy.
But he also points out, he says, well, Fauci belongs in prison, so does Trump.
A president who brought the scourge of COVID upon the U.S. and the buck stops with him as well.
Book them both now.
Add Biden as well.
Lock them all up.
They're all murderers. And the Congress won't do anything because the Congress was part of it, as I've said over and over again.
Operation Warp Speed was like murder on the Orient Express.
Everybody had a hand in it, and that's why nobody is doing anything about this.
So Randy says, well, God will hold them accountable, and we should as well, especially if we're Christian.
He says you can support the Bible and the Constitution, or you can support Donald Trump, but you can't do both.
That's right. So we look at this poor woman here who was coerced.
The Army and the National Guard accused of abandoning a 24-year-old soldier with a debilitating heart issue that internal memo says was linked to the Trump shot.
New military records confirm the soldier's heart injury was quote, in line of duty, unquote, and details her account of quote, complications since receiving the second dose of Moderna.
Moderna did not respond to any questions.
This is actually being put out by Katherine Herridge.
I am 24 years old.
I have had three heart attacks, a mini stroke, and I am now getting a pacemaker.
What's to blame? The COVID vaccine.
And that's when everything flipped upside down for me.
So is this Army memo an acknowledgement that your heart condition is the result of the COVID vaccine?
It 100% is.
Were you left behind by the Army and the National Guard?
I was left behind and trampled.
Alright, so that's Katherine Hedges' report.
Cost of following orders.
Army Specialist Carolyn Stanchik now faces over $70,000 in medical debt.
They won't even pay her bills.
Left behind. This is a photographer who was injured by a COVID booster.
He spoke with The Defender.
He's a photojournalist out of Minneapolis.
I guess now that he's back to work, he's going to have to contend with a made-by-AI label.
But he described the debilitating health issues that he experienced after his second booster shot, the months of misdiagnoses.
Now he finally found effective alternative treatment.
That's one of the reasons why I wanted to talk about this.
It's not a new thing.
For somebody to be injured by the vaccine, but he found some doctors.
He had to go through six doctors before he could find somebody, the seventh doctor he got some help with, and now he's also got an eighth doctor.
Craig Norcus, a veteran Minneapolis TV news photojournalist, ultra-fit, muscular, amateur athlete until shortly after his second Moderna booster shot.
Which he would have been required to have as a condition of his job, I'm sure.
Just days after the shot, he began experiencing headaches and sinus drainage along with hot and cold flashes.
He didn't think too much about it.
However, by Thanksgiving, and that was in November, by Thanksgiving, his condition had taken a dramatic nosedive.
He began experiencing extreme exhaustion, muscle weakness, mental fog.
By late December, he had to request disability leave from his job.
It was a sudden weird change, an oppressive agony.
He said, all of a sudden I felt like I was dying with the help of his partner and dogged persistence in searching for solutions.
He eventually found a practitioner who identified the symptoms as signs of a vaccine injury, prescribed unconventional treatments that succeed in relieving most of his symptoms and getting him back to work last summer.
But then by the end of the year, he suffered a serious relapse.
Then he found another doctor who gave him some new treatments.
He's beginning to feel more like his self, his former self.
When they spoke to him, he had been back to work for two weeks.
Believing everything happens for a reason, he said he's using his experience to raise awareness of vaccine risks to help the vaccine injured and to end the liability shield enjoyed by these pharmaceutical companies.
And again, that is such a criminal action.
You know, I was talking about how the fact that they're now up to, I think it was 90 shots.
I'd said before, 72.
But now they want to give children in America 90 shots.
That is the other thing that most people don't talk about with Fauci.
And they certainly won't.
They'll talk all day long about the China lab, so they can blame it on China, so it's out of this country that doesn't have their fingerprints on it.
But the fact that they're shooting up kids with 90 of these things, the fact that we've got an epidemic now of autism.
I mentioned last week, I said, you know, first time that autism was mentioned was in the movie Rain Man in 1988.
And of course, Fauci had just put in this liability for the vaccine companies in 86.
And so we're thinking about that, so we went back and we watched some of that movie over the weekend, and they talk about autism, and, you know, they go to, at one point it takes them into a clinic, and the medical staff there had not even heard of autism, so they explain it again in the movie.
And now it's everywhere.
He said it took my seventh doctor literally in April of 2023 to diagnose what was happening to me.
He gave me a big hug, said he could help me.
I realized I wasn't crazy and somebody knew.
He said meeting this doctor, Kotolsky, was a life-changing moment.
He said the memory still stirs deep emotions to this day.
Kotolsky took the time to thoroughly review his medical history and blood work and ultimately diagnosed an adverse reaction to the mRNA vaccine and developed a treatment plan tailored to his needs.
Under his care, Norcus underwent a series of treatments that included extracorporeal blood oxygenation and ozonation and peptide therapy and methylene blue infusions.
I have no idea what that is.
This doctor wasn't called Heisenberg, was he?
Blue meth. Anyway, another therapy is aimed at helping his body to heal from the vaccine's side effects.
He said peptides are chains of amino acids that help to build body tissue in a similar way that growth factors do.
They also reduce inflammation.
I think that's the key thing.
Reducing the inflammation.
That is myocarditis, pericarditis, many of these other things are falling on from the inflammation.
He said after just six weeks of treatment, he had recovered much of his strength and his stamina.
He was able to go back to the gym.
He said it was amazing.
But then by June, things started to that was in June, I should say.
In November, his condition began to deteriorate again.
And by December, he was forced to take disability leave again.
And so then early 2020, 24, he repeated some of the same therapies that worked well the previous year. However, his condition had not improved much. Koltowski deployed a new weapon in his arsenal incorporating growth factors and platelet-rich plasma injection treatments along with a hormonal therapy. And he saw immediate improvement.
And then he also sought the advice of Brian Artis.
A retired chiropractor and nutritionist who suggested using nicotine patches to help detach vaccine toxins from nicotine receptors in his body.
The patches had immediate effect, bringing his health close to 100%, he said, and even eliminating some of the side effects of his other treatments, such as sinus drainage and tinnitus.
So again, this is an ongoing thing.
I mean, there may be something out there to help with this, but...
As we look at this moving forward, there is a tremendous veil of lies and darkness and cover-up there.
The UK government's COVID interventions were followed by spikes in mortality.
This is a guy, Joel Smalley, who said, well, they were taking extraordinary measures, and they were telling everybody how wonderful it was, and so I was hoping to see their follow-up information.
showing what a splendid job they had done in terms of actual mortality reduction.
And they didn't do it.
So he did his own. I mean, they're telling everybody, this is wonderful.
I mean, we saved everybody from this plague, this imaginary plague.
Well, let's see the data.
They said, if you went back and you actually got the data, you could see the deaths were going up.
And why is that?
Because even before the vaccine, the deaths were going up because of the hospital, the medical death protocols.
Just like here in the United States.
They began killing people with ventilators and remdesivir with no treatment, with do not resuscitate orders, and all the rest of this stuff.
And then the vaccines hit, and it really went up.
Moderna is now boasting of a new mRNA vaccine, a two-in-one.
It'll help you with COVID and flu at the same time.
Except their vaccine doesn't do either.
Isn't that amazing? They can continue to make these statements.
I mean, it's not just Pfizer that is guilty of fraud.
It's Moderna as well.
And then this report.
Are there vaccines in our food supply?
You know, for quite a while I said, don't you find it interesting that when they talk about bird flu and they try to scare everybody about a bird flu pandemic, they don't look at chicken meat.
They don't look at eggs. They don't look at pork.
Instead, what they do is they focus on cows.
It's now all about the cows.
Well, we know why it's all about the cows, because they've been telling us at the World Economic Forum, at the C40 meetings, and all the rest of the stuff that they wanted to get rid of meat and dairy.
So that's why they're focused on that.
But I said, yeah, where are the pigs?
Why aren't the pigs squealing?
Well, this is why the FDA and the USDA are not squealing about any of this stuff, because they've already got the pigs.
See, the pork producers...
I guess we could say they are supine porcine producers.
You know, they just lay back and whatever the government tells them, sure, we'll do that to the pigs.
No problem. The USDA and drug developers aren't required to release any information on veterinary drugs that are in the development pipeline.
This is another reason why they want to tag and trace cattle.
Because unlike the pig farmers, maybe, you know, there's They're not as easily moved to vaccinate The animals because the animals each animal costs a lot more Independent detectives are left searching through peer-reviewed papers university publications USDA contracts grant notifications White papers from companies or university websites in order to learn what is on the horizon
And of course, we have here in Tennessee, they recently put in a law saying you're not going to put vaccines into vegetables.
And the person who introduced the law was mocked by some Democrats who wanted to put vaccines in vegetables.
So where did you get that stuff up?
Sounds like a conspiracy theory.
And he said, well, it's been published in these white papers.
It's been published and they've got grants about it.
So yeah, it's going to be a thing and we need to stop it before it becomes a thing.
Around 2014, the USDA granted a conditional license for mRNA vaccine use for pigs, the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus.
This is equivalent to emergency use authorization and it gets around the USDA's vaccine licensing and authorization process.
The next year Merck bought Harris vaccines to acquire their RNA platform.
Merck's 2015 press release stated that this RNA technology represents a breakthrough in vaccine development.
Then by 2018, Merck's RNA vaccine platform built on top of the Harris vaccine's technology.
They called it Sequivity.
These RNA injections are already in use in pigs.
They're customized for different viruses, and the pork you're eating from the supermarket is already likely treated with these gene therapies.
In 2016, BioNTech and Bayer, the two German companies, again, BioNTech teamed with Pfizer- They were the ones who actually did the mRNA vaccine.
Pfizer actually lied and fraudulently presented it to everybody in the United States.
Bayer, they're the company that bought Monsanto.
And their GMO seeds and their glyphosate and stuff.
So these two companies, let's just be polite, we'll just call them companies, partnered to develop a veterinary mRNA vaccine.
If you think that mRNA vaccines are the only problem, think again.
This is by the way is a brownstone article According to a 2021 paper published in the frontiers of veterinary science DNA RNA and recombinant viral vector vaccines are all in development They're touted as capable of quick deployment no time for pesky safety testing Let alone time to see if humans who consume meat from these animals suffer any long-term health effects The paper also points out that farmed salmon are already
receiving multiple DNA injections for various diseases All this begs the question, can DNA vaccines change the genetic code of an animal or a human?
According to a 2017 Moderna white paper titled mRNA Vaccines Disruptive Innovation in Vaccination.
Does that sound familiar?
Remember Fauci?
October of 2019, before they played this scam, he goes to the Milken Institute.
They say, how do you get everybody to take a vaccine all at once?
All over the world, without testing it.
Well, you do it from the inside.
You do it with disruption.
And you do it iteratively.
Well, these are, this is Moderna.
2017, vaccines.
Disruptive innovation.
That's what they call it. The key challenge, they said, associated with DNA vaccines is that they must penetrate the cell nucleus.
Once inside the nucleus, DNA vaccines have a risk of permanently changing a person's DNA. Unquote.
That's Moderna in 2017.
So, can genetic injections given to animals affect the person who consumes the animal product?
Chinese scientists have published a study where they injected mRNA-laced milk We're good to go.
The researchers plan to follow up with a version where the mice are fed the mRNA rather than being injected and in their paper's conclusion, they opine that in the near future, an mRNA delivery system based on milk-derived exosomes will serve as a platform for mRNA therapeutic development.
I said from the very beginning of this that people were on to them.
I don't want to get a vaccine.
So they're trying to come up with all these different things.
Well, you don't like the needle? We'll do this little micro thing that Bill Gates has worked out with MIT. So you don't feel anything, but we can still inject you.
We've got a lot of micro needles, but they are so small that even though they penetrate the skin and inject the stuff, You won't feel it because it won't get into the nerves.
I said, well, even with that stuff, people have become skeptical.
So they've got to do it in a way that we don't see it.
They've got to do it into our food.
And they're going to use this bird flu stuff to shut down the independent farms.
And the big agricultural firms will just go along with them, just like the pig producers did.
And then when it comes to vegetarian stuff, the National Science Foundation is funding one of several studies We're good to go.
Well, our guest is ready, and so we're going to talk a bit more about the petrodollar here and what is behind all of this stuff.
But before we take a break and bring on our guest, I just want to say thank you to A. Wootz.
Thank you for the tip. So those treated with remdesivir were released earlier in the trial, but had to be readmitted.
Indicating no benefit compared to placebo rather than a corrupted trial.
Yeah. Rather a corrupted trial.
Atomic Dog. Amazing breakthrough.
Moderna creates the first combo vax that doesn't work.
Yeah, I don't know if any of them weren't, quite frankly.
Okay, we're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we're going to talk to our guest.
She has written a book about the Saudi swindle, how the deception surrounding Saudi oil gave rise to the green new steel, to the looting of nations, and to a global lockdown.
So we're going to take a quick break, and we'll be right back.
And we'll play this mystery song, see if anybody can figure out what movie this is from.
From again, it's John Williams, can you figure out the movie?
No.
I don't know.
I don't know.
the
So, I'm going to go ahead and start the video.
I'm going to start the video.
so
defending the american dream You're listening to The David Knight Show.
All right, joining us now is Susan Bradford.
Her book, The Saudi Swindle, How the Deception Surrounding Saudi Oil Gave Rise to the Green New Steel, the Looting of Nations, and a Global Lockdown.
Thank you for joining us, Susan.
It's going to be interesting to talk about this.
It's a really important subject.
Thank you so much for having me.
Thank you.
Yeah, as you sit, what went wrong with the petrodollar that is now coming apart at the seams everywhere?
What went wrong with it or was it always wrong?
Well, in my opinion, it was always wrong because it was geared at providing a basis for which the federal and the fiat dollar could spend, we could spend endlessly developing the world.
And the USAID was created by an executive order through President John F. Kennedy.
And from that point on, we were really on the hook to develop over 100 nations around the world.
And the only way that was possible was with the petrodollar.
And so what the petrodollar did is this was a means in which we had cheap oil that was available and an infinite amount because of how vast the oil wells were.
And then they connected the petrodollar to the World Bank.
So it became the World Bank development partner.
Around the same time, they also established a Saudi sovereign fund, and that was a way for them to accumulate assets.
So this was really about the financial interest around the city of London to use the wealth of the American people to develop the world while leaving us holding the debt.
And so in terms of what went wrong, in the 1970s, the Saudis decided to nationalize their oil field.
So on their way out, the Rockefellers, who had been granted the concession, Overproduced the oil fields.
We wanted to get as much oil as it possibly could before they were shut out.
And so what happened is that through that overproduction, they damaged the fields.
And so from that point onward, the petrodollar was on borrowed time, and they had to figure out, okay, we don't want to tell people that we've damaged these wells, but we still have this petrodollar link that is crucial to the development of the world.
Yeah, and of course, to the development of the American empire and the military stuff, because the weapons were a big part of that as well.
And as you point out, it's to leave us with a debt.
You know, a lot of people made a lot of money out of this, and the American government got a lot of political clout and power out of it, but we're left with a debt.
They gave Americans essentially a credit card without limits, and now we're about to get that called, and we're...
We're going to have to pay back this unpayable amount of money that we borrowed.
I would argue that we probably don't owe that money.
I mean, you know, we can show how the Federal Reserve was created under kind of, it was unconstitutional and it was not, it was created during a, when the Congress was not even a quorum.
So, you know, there's some kind of legality issues there.
But I think, you know, we are being colonized and they want us to believe that we hold this debt, even though we probably don't.
But yes, you're right. This is something that they've tried to obligate us to.
Yeah, that's right. Every year I play, the first one I did was on the 100th anniversary of the creation of the Federal Reserve.
I call it It's a Wonderful Lie because it's Christmas time.
And so, you know, this is something that they foisted upon us.
They've used it. We use this as a tool for power to enrich themselves and the whole thing is fraudulent.
The problem is that we've got American politicians who are fraudulent who installed it and American politicians who have supported it all along and they will probably still support at the point of a bayonet our paying back this fraudulent debt.
This is probably what's going to happen with all this stuff.
But when you talk about the Green New Deal, the Green New Steel is the way you put it, and it is, it's kind of interesting, isn't it, to see that the Saudis have jumped in in a big way on green stuff as well, even though they are supplying the oil.
Tell us a little bit about that angle of it.
Yes. So they know that they don't really have the oil reserves to establish, you know, to develop the world.
And so they are trying to diversify their economy.
And this came about in the late 1990s where they had the energy initiative where they brought all the oil companies back to Saudi Arabia to develop new strategies for how they were going to do this.
So, this, you know, there's part of the, you know, this element happened during the Bush administration, but during Obama, this kind of agenda got underway.
They had decided in 1997 with the Kyoto Accords that it was universally agreed upon.
There was a scientific consensus about global warming that they had to address, and And so the way that you would address that is by, you know, you'd have to curtail the use of gas.
And so Obama started this with the cash for clunkers.
And this big boondogger where they were just spending money right, left, and center to any project that could, you know, provide some type of sustainable development.
But in the process, I think that they unleashed unlimited spending, Which, you know, in turn, enriched these same interests who then began to buy up assets.
There was very little accountability, you know, for how that money was spent.
Well, I agree. Yeah.
I refer to them as MacGuffins because it doesn't matter what the excuse is.
It's like Hitchcock's thing, you know.
It doesn't matter what they're chasing.
But they've got an end goal, and that is to take everything from us, our transportation, everything.
And so it dovetails nicely in with that.
What about... The connection that Saudi Arabia is making with the BRICS, and especially their Project Rialto, this CBDC that they're trying to put out.
So you've got the Bank of International Settlements, and you've got the Saudis, and BRICS, and all these people coming together to create a completely new financial system.
Where do you see that leading?
I know it's been played in the alt media as, oh, this is the end of Western civilization in the United States, a dollar is doomed.
I don't think that's true.
BRICS was launched in 2001 by Jim O'Neill, who was, of course, banker of the city of London.
He was in charge of global economic development for Goldman Sachs in London.
And so he developed BRICS because, you know, the petrodollar was on the way out and they needed money to develop the third world countries.
You know, they hadn't been developed yet.
So this was a way for them to kind of work out a new strategy and that they have even like a new development bank that is set to replace the World Bank.
And they're trying to kind of consolidate their resources.
So you have a Russian sovereign fund, a Saudi sovereign fund.
They're kind of investing in each other.
And I think according to even Jim O'Neill, he said, you know, these countries don't agree with each other.
There's no chance that they're going to establish a central bank.
And he said that it's, you know, it's really just a way for them to kind of develop the And the dollar is used through financial transactions all over the world.
I don't think that's going to become obsolete anytime soon.
We're disconnected from the petrodollar, but still the most widely used transaction.
And within America itself, I don't see us using the ruble or the wand or any of these other things.
So it's really about helping to develop the third world, which hasn't been completely developed yet, and they're often at loggerheads and working against each other.
So it's not really a true alliance.
What do you think in terms of, as you pointed out, as a Goldman Sachs banker who kicked off the BRICS thing, we have a lot of this cooperation with these different nations that might be against each other, like Russia and China and everything.
They're being driven into a kind of an alliance based on the sanctions and things like that of the Biden administration.
And since we have the Bank of International Settlements and since they put in a CBDC, Is there a possibility in your mind that perhaps they are trying to create pressure for a CBDC that's out there?
You know, many times we'll have a situation where, well, you know, if we don't do it, the other people are doing it.
You know, whether you're talking about autonomous killer robots or you're talking about nuclear weapons or you're talking about biological warfare.
Well, the other people are doing it. We've got a gap here.
We've got to catch up. You know, we've got to...
We've got a nuclear weapons gap or whatever.
You think maybe that this is something that's going to be used to prod people towards a global CBDC? Because we've got to do it because they're doing it?
What do you think? I think they certainly would like to.
I know that the major central banks are looking into a CBDC. I know that during the lockdowns, Jared Kushner was trying to push a digital dollar and universal basic income.
So I think they definitely want to go in that direction.
I think there is a legitimacy problem that they're having that's increasingly becoming wider known.
And they wanted to have one of their money laundering hubs really being themselves, but they're the ones who are involved in money laundering.
And, you know, I think if they could, they would definitely like to implement one.
In your book, you link this to the Saudi petrodollar.
You link it not just to the green stuff, but also to the green scam.
You also link it to 9-11, to the drive towards AI. Tell us about those connections as you see them.
Sure. Okay, so with 9-11, we have the Kyoto Protocols and the preceding the gas initiative.
And what was the, and also the PNEC, the Project for a New American Century, where the agenda was to go into these foreign countries and do what?
To claim their oil. There was a preemptively strike.
There was desperation. So 9-11 provided a pretext.
For the United States to go into Iraq, and what did it do?
It grabbed the oil for Israel.
They immediately captured the oil.
I think it was from Haifa, Well, it was one of the main oil mines that they created, they seized for Israel.
And then you can also see these different Saudi connections.
So, for example, you mentioned the arms trafficking.
One of the key actors in the arms trafficking was Adnan Khashoggi, who partnered on Lockheed Martin deals with...
Prince Bernard, who founded the Bilderbergers, also with Prince Philip, who works, you know, he's with the Crown, and is a partner of Jacob Rothschild.
So this was part of a vast money laundering scheme.
Adnan Khashoggi financed the 9-11 Truth Movement, which I thought was very interesting.
The lies that were led us into Iraq from Ahmad Chalabi and the Iraqi National Congress were pushed by BKSH, which was acquired by Burstyn Marstetler, which now is the agent here for SAVIC. SAVIC is the Saudi company that is trying to establish a global monopoly on agriculture.
And Adnan Khashoggi, incidentally, he cut his arms steel at the Ritz-Carlton in Paris that was owned by Mohamed El-Fayed, the father of Dodi.
And it was there that they were in connection.
Let me point out that Dodi was the boyfriend of...
Princess Diana. Princess Diana, right?
And his father owned Harrods in the UK and many other things like that.
So yeah, these are connected. Was Khashoggi, was he related in any way to the guy that got chopped up by the Saudis?
Yes, he was. I think they made him cut.
They cut an arms deal with him too. They cut an arms deal with him as well, right?
I'm sorry. I interrupted your train.
I thought you were talking about all these different connections with the Saudis.
Continue on with that. I'm sorry.
Yes, so Muhammad al-Fayed and Khashoggi also knew the father of Muhammad Atta, who was one of the hijackers in 9-11.
And just fairly recently, I don't know if you've seen this, but I think 60 Minutes came out with some video that showed the Saudis actually filming the monuments before the actual attacks and saying, this is part of our plan.
So, there is this kind of Saudi element.
Most of the hijackers were Saudis.
I don't think this was a Saudi attack against the country.
I think this was done in my own, like the circumstantial evidence would lead me to believe this was done by the crime syndicate from the City of London.
They wanted to create a paradigm shift.
You know, for this new economy that they were trying to build.
And that started with, we need something that will allow us to launch preemptive strikes against foreign countries so we can get access to oil.
Would you see the CIA as part of that crime syndicate since they had Tim Osmond coming into the CIA all the time?
And would you see it as an inside job or do you think it was an outside job and just different suspects?
They say that Osama Bin Laden, is that Tim Osmond?
Is that who the CIA is?
Yeah, right. He was also heavily invested in the Carlisle Group.
The Carlisle Group grew out of the Nixon administration, but Donald Rumsfeld, which in that administration launched the petrodollar.
So he was involved with the Carlyle Group.
The Carlyle Group, you have the Bushes who are part of this.
And of course, he was part of the CIA. And the CIA was working hand-in-hand with the financial interest and intelligence from the City of London.
So looking at these different elements kind of coming together, trying to figure out, we're all in this together to make as much money as possible.
You know, their agenda was to establish a global monopoly on wealth, power, and commerce.
So they're kind of working with each other to that end.
And I believe that, yes, the CIA was probably involved, especially since they are naming Osama bin Laden, who was, in fact, a CIA asset.
Yeah, there's this London-Langley axis that is always there.
And as you're going through all these different connections to all these known figures and everything, it truly is amazing when you start to do research just what a tangled and evil web this all is.
It truly is amazing when you start the kind of research that you've done in terms of connecting all these different things.
It's such... Such an amazing network of corruption and crime, isn't it?
It really is.
And my hope is that by bringing light to this, that we can maybe put a pause on the agenda that they're trying to advance.
Because I think that they have done so many horrific activities that at least provide some grounds for potential litigation or at least some exploration that can reveal their agenda against the United States and maybe some crimes that they've committed against us.
I think that's really key. You know, when you see where these people are headed, then things start to fall into place.
And when you see how they have colluded in the past, things start to fall into place as well.
And it is always the usual suspects, isn't it?
And the key thing is for Kaiser Soze to make sure that we don't think he exists.
So your kind of research is incredibly important.
The Saudi Swindle is the name of the book, and tell people where they can get it.
It's available right now on Kindle, is that correct?
And are there other formats coming?
Where's the best place to get it?
Yes, it's on Amazon through Kindle.
They can also get it through some print and paperback form as well.
They can connect to it through my website, which is susanbradford.org.
SusanBradford.org. Okay, I'm going to put that in, and we'll have that in the description for the video.
And it sounds like a fascinating book.
You've done a lot of research on this, and I think anybody who wants to know what is behind this, we've seen the fraud of the petrodollar and how the Federal Reserve has been using this, and all of these different governments have put this through, but it's important to go back and take a look at Thank you so much for the research that you do,
Susan. Again, you can find all this stuff at SusanBradford.org.
You can find links to the actual book, to the Kindle, and all these other things.
You'll have all that stuff there at SusanBradford.org, right?
That's right. And also, I don't know if you, I'm not sure how much time you have, but would you like to go into any of the pandemic aspects?
Oh yeah, let's do that. We've got some time.
I've got another, there's some stuff that I want to get into, but yeah, we can go into the pandemic stuff.
Let's do that. What are the connections of the petrodollar to the pandemic as you see it?
Okay, I wasn't sure if you were wrapping up or not.
Well, I'm starting to, but that's fine.
We can take some more time. I would like to know what you see as a connection to the pandemic.
Okay, so one of the chief researchers who provided the expose on peak oil, as it was called, is Matthew Simmons.
And the recommendations that he provided, and he was an advisor to the Bush administration, on what they needed to do to respond to peak oil.
It was to down the plains.
It was that we need to work from home and commuting.
We need to have our food sources work closer to home.
And so forth.
So the very recommendations that he made were identical to those that were implemented during the global lockdown.
And we're talking about the same group of players.
They're trying to establish a new normal.
And in fact, Larry Summers, who was both connected to Epstein at Harvard and who was an economist for the World Bank, had actually promoted permanent lockdowns as the new normal.
So, we're going back to the same issue of peak oil and the fraud or the swindle surrounding the petrodollar, Saudi petrodollar.
Well, that's interesting. I've talked about how...
The end result, whether they say that the planet is going to freeze or whether it's going to burn up, the end result was always the same.
And then when we get the pandemic, the end result is the same.
And then with the Petro-McGuffin, the end is always the same.
Got to lock down everybody and make sure they don't go anywhere.
I think that's a real tip.
And when you talk about peak oil, that is something that the CIA was pushing out there, that we had peak oil.
And I remember when, and I've got the magazines here.
As a matter of fact, let me grab it. This is back in 1979, Newsweek, the energy crisis.
They were telling people that we're going to be completely out of oil.
This is Time magazine.
So Time and Newsweek telling everybody we're going to be completely out of oil with the energy crisis by the mid-1980s.
And so that was part of the peak oil, and that was a narrative that was pushed by the CIA, and yet we just keep finding more oil.
It's amazing. I guess there's more dinosaurs dying all the time.
But... It's amazing how the peak oil thing has not hit, so they've had to go to different types of justifications, but again, it's the same end result.
We've got to take everything from you, we've got to lock you down, and we keep seeing that come back.
You see peak oil as being something heavily involved with by the CIA, being sold by them?
I know that Seymour Hersh had reported on it, and the Saudi-Armico executives acknowledged that they had overproduced the whales.
I think we are finding oil around the world, and I think fracking was part of that, too.
We also have Proudhon Bay in Alaska.
But I think that the main issue with Saudi Arabia is that that was a key development partner of the World Bank.
And so they needed to link the two in terms of acquiring the assets that they needed to buy up the world.
This is part of the supply chains that they were using.
Yeah, that's important. I've got a question here from a listener.
Wants to know if your book is available on Audible yet.
It is not, but I can definitely look into that and make sure that it is.
Yeah, a lot of people listen to audiobooks as they're driving.
That's a very important thing there.
Another comment here. Alaska has more oil than we would ever need.
Oil is not made from dead bones.
This has always been a lie. I agree with that.
I think that it is something else.
We seem to, like I said, not run out of dinosaurs.
And this always raises a lot of suspicion when it becomes a narrative that is really heavily pushed by the CIA. I immediately think that it's a lie if they're talking about something.
That's just where I am in my cynicism now at this point.
Bear in mind, we're not talking about not having enough oil.
We're talking about having the World Bank control that oil, and the World Bank sets the global price of oil.
So if they're partnered with the Saudis, they want to make sure the Saudis are linked into it.
That's why they need to access other fields around the world.
That's right. And, of course, you know, they can create fake shortages as well, because it's about having access to the oil.
The oil can be there, but, you know, if they make you keep it in the ground, there's really not much that you can do about it at that point in time.
And one more here.
Just abolish the Fed. Federal Reserve and arrest all involved for fraud and usury and debasing the currency.
I would love to do that. I have dreams about that sometimes, but...
I don't know that that's going to happen.
It's such a widespread thing.
And your book, you know, as you look at this and you talk about all these different people involved, it's such a mass of all this stuff.
And it is all about money, isn't it?
It always comes back to money. Yes, it is.
And power. Yeah, money and power.
And that's how they get their power, Sue, their money.
If they can just print money at will, they have unlimited amounts of it.
Yeah. And, of course, I think the energy is – the power that energy gives them is really underestimated by a lot of people.
I always have to catch myself. I always want to say, misunderstand.
I've joked about that so many times from George W. Bush.
I've got to – wait a minute – I don't want to repeat that.
It's become a vocabulary word with me now because I've joked about it so much.
But people don't really understand how important energy is, how fundamentally important that is.
And, of course, you know, as we saw with the petrodollar, they just kind of financialized that.
And so they joined those two things there.
But it's still there in so many different ways, as you point out in your book.
The book is The Saudi Swindle.
How the Deceptions Surrounding Saudi Oil Gave Rise to the Green New Steel, the Looting of Nations, and a Global Lockdown.
You can find it in Kindle, you can find it in print, and you can find it at SusanBradford.org.
Thank you so much for joining us.
Thank you so much, David. Very interesting topic.
Folks, we're gonna take a quick break and we will be right back.
♪♪♪
Making Sense, come in again.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
you you Alright, welcome back. I want to talk a little bit about what is happening with the mutilation of minors.
The law against it in Tennessee is now going to be challenged by the Supreme Court and some other issues along those lines.
But before we do, I had some guesses about the mystery song that I played earlier, the one that has the visuals of Yellowstone.
Heron H says, Hi all, I'm guessing Titanic.
No, not Titanic.
I'll give you, I did the Yellowstone thing because it is something that is set out west.
So, two clues. It is John Williams and it is a setting that is out west.
Jason Barker, a river runs through it?
No, that's not it.
A cult priestess? I looked up the composer John Williams, but he has too many movies.
That's right, he sure does, doesn't he?
I mean, he even goes back to Lost in Space like I played earlier.
Yeah, he's in his 90s.
He's been working for a very, very long time.
He's got a lot of stuff there.
And let's see.
Jason Barker. Maybe Dances with Wolves, but probably not.
It's that type of thing, yeah?
Out West. But he evokes Last of the Mohicans, says Plasma Stream.
No. And Karen Carpenter, the movie The Plainsman.
No, it's not that one either.
So it's still a mystery.
I'll let you guys know if you get tired of guessing.
Let's talk a little bit about the transgender case here in Tennessee.
And let me begin by saying, we talk about minors, right?
You know, all this ridiculous stuff about grooming kids in kindergarten and stuff, the video that somebody put up that I played, you know, here's $10,000 in cash, and here's two Oreos.
Which one do you want? I'll go for the Oreos.
You sure about that? Yeah, I'll take the Oreos.
You know, the kids do not have that kind of understanding.
That's why we protect minors.
And we say there are certain things that they cannot do.
For example, tattoos.
In Tennessee and in almost all states, a minor cannot get a tattoo except with the approval of their parents.
For example, here's the tattoo law in Tennessee.
Minors, I'd be anybody under 18, need both written permission and the presence of a parent while they're doing it.
If they're between the ages of 16 and 18, they can get an existing tattoo covered If the parent is present, but that's it.
Now, a tattoo is not nearly as permanent as castration or mastectomy or something like this.
Those are operations that are not reversible, and they have tremendous physical consequences for people who have had that.
And, you know, tattoos, you could have some knock-on effects from that.
If they don't sterilize it properly, you get hepatitis or something like that.
We're talking about the very essence of the operation, not something that is a knock-on consequence of it.
And when you look at something like alcohol, for example, I didn't look it up, but I don't believe that parents are allowed to give alcohol to their kids legally.
I don't think they can get the kids drinks legally.
So there's some things that are not allowed even with parental permission, is my point.
And if you're going to mutilate a child and sterilize a child, they don't have that kind of judgment.
And I hope when this case goes to the Supreme Court, they're going to hear arguments in the fall.
And I hope that perhaps the Navy SEAL, Chris Beck, Who was pushed to transgenderism himself, pushed by people like Michael Flynn, who bragged about it, used him as a poster child for Pride Month and other things like that.
How despicable. But he said, I was an adult, I was a Navy SEAL, and these people still pressured me into it.
Why are we doing this to kids?
I hope that he writes an amicus brief for this.
He really should. The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to review a lawsuit.
This is being brought by the ACLU, of course, challenging a Tennessee law banning hormone therapy and puberty blockers for children under 18.
It marks the first time that the Current Supreme Court, with these justices, will weigh in on the issue.
Three Tennessee transgender teenagers, their parents, and a doctor who provides transgender care allege that the 2023 Tennessee ban violates a U.S. constitutional guarantee of equal protection under the law by discriminating on the basis of sex.
No, this is discrimination on the basis of age.
Age. This is about minors.
This is not even about the operation itself.
You know, I would support banning the operation itself because of people like Chris Beck.
Mature individuals who are being pushed into this, who are being taken advantage of, who are being gaslit.
But come on, doing this to a minor?
How could you possibly justify that?
But saying that they're being discriminated against on the basis of sex.
No, it's on the basis of age, but let's talk about the sex.
These are people who say there is no such thing as a fixed sex.
Or are they some kind of new imagined type of sex?
Well, I think that is the way that they imagine themselves.
It truly is amazing.
And you know, when you stop and think about, and I've said this for a long time, you talk about LGBT. The L's are in full-on civil war with the T's.
And, you know, the trannies, oh, you know, you're not a, you know, a real woman isn't a physical woman and all the rest of this stuff.
They deny the reality of that, and they attack each other, and the trannies call the feminists and lesbians and stuff, they call them TERFs, and I mean, it's just, it's bad between the L's and the T's.
But I don't understand why there's not more of a civil war between the G's and the B's and the T's.
You've got the gays who have said, there's a gay gene.
And the trannies who say, no, there is nothing physical about it.
So they contradict, the T's contradict the G's.
And then they also contradict the B's as well.
All these letters. Anyway, the B's, that's somebody who is bisexual.
Wait a minute, you just said that there's two sexes.
You can't... And the trainees say there's not two sexes.
I mean, they're in conflict with the world, and yet they're in charge of the world, aren't they?
We have taken the most insane people, and we have put them in charge of the world, and we must all bow down to them.
And of course, you know why this is happening.
Those in power want to tell us, force us to say that two plus two equals five.
They want us to bow to a lie.
They want us to bow to an absurdity.
Because then that's how they know they've got totalitarian control over us.
But the L's and the G's and the B's and the birds, they should all be fighting the T's.
So they claim that the law prohibits transgender individuals from accessing drugs and therapies that are available to other adolescents with medical need.
There aren't any other adolescents that need to have puberty blockers or any of the rest of this stuff.
All of this stuff is specious.
This must have all been put together by some crazy lunatics out of the Vanderbilt Labs.
Vanderbilt is right at the center of all of this stuff in Tennessee.
The U.S. Solicitor General...
Elizabeth Preligar, the Biden administration's top Supreme Court advocate, this is going to be the person who argues the case before the Supreme Court.
She told the justices in a brief filed last year that Tennessee law and those like it, quote, inflict profound harm on transgender adolescents and their families.
No, you know, Elizabeth, what inflicts profound harm on children is to mutilate them, to sterilize them.
That's crazy. And these chemicals do that as well as the surgery stuff does.
How dare you? How dare you go around and mutilate minors?
And we've had this. I remember Dr.
Dean Adele, one of the first people to have a successful talk radio show.
And it'd be about medical stuff.
But he had this. He was Jewish, and he had this hobby horse, so he hated circumcision.
It's like, what is the deal with him?
Why does he talk about this? And nobody has ever hurt with circumcision.
Yeah, male circumcision.
But then you had the Muslims coming in, and they were doing female circumcision.
And that did inflict injury and harm to people.
And then we dropped that.
Nobody talks about either of those anymore.
But instead, we're just going to talk about full castration and chemical castration and mastectomies and all the rest of the stuff.
And that's good now. That's all good.
Anyway, this Biden's Supreme Court lawyer argued that there is uncertainty around the legality of transgender care bans and that the Supreme Court should step in to settle the dispute.
No, there's no uncertainty. Tennessee knows exactly what it's doing.
And the sad thing is that they're going to...
Take this to the Supreme Court.
They're going to argue before the Supreme Court.
And even if they lose, they will abide by what the Supreme Court says.
The Supreme Court does not have any jurisdiction here.
You know, we just had a case come up before the Supreme Court about the abortion pill.
And the abortion pill is not about women's health.
If it was about women's health, you would keep the restriction that it has to be done with a medical exam so they can see the size of the baby that they're about to kill and try to deliver.
If you were concerned about women's health, you would not be putting out this abortion pill over the counter, through the mail, without having an exam.
And so they don't care about that at all.
But you had some doctors and other medical professionals who sued and took it to the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court unanimously said, you don't have any standing to sue.
You're not prescribing this pill.
You're not selling the pill, and on and on.
You don't have any involvement in this.
Well, you know, under the Tenth Amendment, The Supreme Court has no standing to issue an opinion about mutilation of minors.
There's nothing in the Constitution that gives them that power, and according to the Tenth Amendment, which they can read just like you and I can.
So the Supreme Court doesn't even care about the Constitution.
They don't even care about the Bill of Rights.
Let's just drop the facade here.
Let's end the judicial supremacy.
Because the Supreme Court, the Tenth Amendment says that if the federal government is not expressly given these powers, then it doesn't have them.
Any powers that are not expressly given to the federal government are retained by the states and by the people.
And so they don't have any jurisdiction, any standing to weigh in on abortion.
And that's what the Dobbs case said.
They got it right finally, but they also don't have any standing to weigh in on something like the definition of marriage.
They don't have any standing to weigh in on what's going to happen to minors in terms of medical care and things like that.
That is all a state issue. It's an issue of the people.
The Supreme Court does not have any standing or jurisdiction in any of these things.
In 2020, a 6-3 justice majority in the court ruled that the federal law prohibits discrimination against transgender employees.
One of those justices, Darth Vader Ginsburg, has been since replaced by Amy Coney Barrett.
The Supreme Court is expected to hear oral arguments in this case in the autumn and then issue a decision sometime next year.
And again, they don't have any standing for this, just like the doctors didn't have.
And it's made very clear in the Tenth Amendment.
They've not been given the ability to make this decision.
Vanderbilt, as I said, is right at the center of this.
Again, you know, Anderson Cooper's family established this thing, this abomination.
the Vanderbilt University Medical Center, a doctor has published an article pushing sports for trans kids and he did this article just six months after the Covenant school shooting. This is an article from the Tennessee Star This is the Nashville-based paper that has been at the center of these diaries from the trainee killer.
A medical doctor working for Vanderbilt published an article in September 2023 that claimed children who identify as transgender benefit when competing in sports with competitors of their preferred gender.
But what about the women that they bully?
Do they benefit from the competition of boys pretending to be girls?
I'm sure that they do.
They get lots of medals.
They dominate. You know, they can be somebody that is so far back in the pack with men that they don't ever even show up, but then they can, you know, sweep all the first place medals.
We all know that they benefit from that.
The question is, is it fair?
Is it reasonable? No, it isn't.
The September 18, 2023 article was published less than six months after Audrey Hale, biological female, who identified as a transgender male, also connected to Vanderbilt, And the psychiatric department there committed her devastating attack in March on the Covenant School, which claimed the lives of three nine-year-old children and three adult staff members.
And the doctor who did this, I thought this was interesting, his name is Dr.
Alexander Sin. S-I-N. I mean, this is not even, they're not even cagey about it.
Like, you remember Dr.
Sin and the Scarecrow?
They made it into like a two or three episode series by Disney, but it was a series of books.
Kind of set at the time of the American Revolution, but it was in the U.K., And he was like a clergy member.
He spelled his name S-Y-N. And by day, he was helping people around there.
But at night, you know, he was helping them with his smuggling operations.
And he had a gang of guys who all had the headdress on.
That's one of my favorite Disney things.
That came out when I was a kid.
Anyway, this Dr.
Sin actually spells it S-I-N. So Sin practices in the field of sports medicine.
This is like Pilgrim's Progress.
He published...
In the scholarly publication of JAMA Pediatrics, he published children who identify as transgender should be allowed to compete with their preferred gender due to the known benefits that sports offer children.
In an interview with medical website Stat News, they published the following day, Sen seemed to argue that kindergarten students who identify as transgender should not be held to the same standards as older students.
So these regulations are often K-12, right?
We start from kindergarten.
He said, how competitive is kindergarten?
And why do we care if there's this little boy who is assigned as female at birth who wants to play as a boy?
Let me tell you something. I don't know where this guy grew up, but...
Even in kindergarten, the boys can beat up the girls if they're going to get into a fight like that.
Anyway, in addition to the connection to Hale, Sen's article was also published about a year after the Daily Wire host Matt Walsh posted on video to X, which showed that a Vanderbilt medical professional described his transgender program as big money maker.
I brought that up again yesterday that offered $40,000 surgeries and expensive follow-up care And they you know that the videos that were put done Yeah, we can make a lot of money out of all this stuff and of course Also looking at this from Tennessee star Tom Pappert who works there now he said Vanderbilt University Medical Center Appears to be an incubator for teens with mental health problems in order to turn them into adults with gender identity
issues I Guess they've got an entire Norman Bates wing of the hospital there On Thursday a distraught father of a teenage daughter receiving treatment at Vanderbilt Psychiatric Hospital Part of the Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
Contacted the Tennessee Star saying that his daughter, quote, began mentioning a trans lifestyle and adopted a male name while being treated at the psychiatric hospital.
The reason that he contacted the Tennessee Star is because they've been looking at Audrey Hale's diary and publishing this and getting a lot of flack about that.
And so, as Papert points out...
The research showed that, and we knew this, that as soon as it came out that she was under treatment at Vanderbilt, we said, okay, there's going to be some drugs involved there.
There's probably going to be some antidepressants, like some SSRIs, which are sufficient to get people to murder suicide shots over and over again.
Thousands of these cases documented at SSRIStories.net.
So... She had actually three anti-anxiety medications and an antidepressant prior to this attack.
Probably any one of those, but if you put those all together in combination...
How do they interact with each other?
Do they magnify each other?
It is a matter of forcing a mind control agenda to harm and to maim.
Go after them legally.
Yes, I agree.
Do Not Obey says a divided nation is much easier to conquer.
Conquer they plan with globalist one world governance.
Grant777 says trans stuff is just a new angle to eugenics.
It's like a PR makeover.
I agree. I've said for the longest time, you know, at the very beginning of this, I said, well, look, this transgender stuff is thinly veiled pedophilia, right?
They're going to talk to kids and, oh, yeah, the kids can make up their minds that they are a different gender.
They have that kind. We're going to pretend that they have that kind of maturity, that they can make that.
Well, then, of course, they can determine we're going to treat them like adults now, right?
And so they should be able to make a decision about consensual sex, right?
You've had people like Alan Dershowitz arguing, let's lower the age of legal sex with kids.
He's real eager to do that, this guy who defended Jeffrey Epstein.
This pal of Donald Trump, who was also a pal of Jeffrey Epstein.
But I said, you know, the pedophile impulse is very clear with this transgender stuff.
But as I look at it, I think there's something else going on here.
And I think it really is part of pushing into transhumanism and the intermediate stage.
Is VR reality.
And you can see this with the furries, right?
People who dress up in these costumes and they would love to spend all day in a VR world where they can be whatever they imagine they want to be, you know, and just like Ready Player One, you know, it's a book and then they made it into a movie, Spielberg did.
That type of thing, they're pushing people to do that.
Yuval Harari has said, you know, we're going to keep people preoccupied with drugs and with games.
The games and the virtual reality is something that Aldous Huxley did not anticipate when he wrote Brave New World, but it's there.
And, of course, it was his brother, Julian, who coined the term transhumanism.
That all is connected, I believe.
Travagline. The monsters know that at least 40% of those kids will get this sterilizing procedure and will kill themselves.
Bonus! And also demoralize women.
Yeah, that's absolutely true.
Well, this father connected to the star and told them what was happening with his daughter.
He compared his daughter's experiences at Vanderbilt and Hale's recently uncovered connection to the hospital.
He told the star, he says, quote, I have reason but no concrete proof to believe that the psychiatric hospital played a role in molding and shaping her into wanting to live a trans lifestyle.
Talking about his daughter. Knowing what I know now, I also believe that the same people who treated Audrey Hale have treated and may well be presently treating my daughter.
He said, this begs the question, is Vanderbilt's psychiatric hospital an incubator for creating psychologically compromised trans youth who are then referred for transition surgery at the main hospital?
You know, kind of groom them until we can legally mutilate them.
He says, it seems that before this, the father's daughter was a normal girl who had, according to this brief message we've been given, who had some mental issues.
And then she goes to Vanderbilt and soon after starts to identify as a transgender male, said Papert.
He said the father is also probably thinking that this would make sense.
It keeps it all in the same hospital.
It keeps it all in the same family.
It keeps the insurance company getting billed as this person.
His daughter goes from being a teenager having a mental health problem to potentially an adult having gender identity problems, he said.
Well, more trans patients are joining a lawsuit against Vanderbilt University.
Over data that was given to the Tennessee Attorney General.
This is about overbilling.
So because there are allegations that, you know, again, you look at the money, right?
They bragged a couple years ago.
At about the time of the shooting, so I guess that was 2023, the tapes that Matt Walsh had talking about how, well, you know, we can make $40,000 off of this, and then I can have them coming in for chemical treatments, and I only have to see them once every few months, and I get thousands of dollars.
This is a great business deal.
Well, the Tennessee Attorney General started investigating them for overbilling.
He said, I'd like to see what kind of billing you're putting out.
He had a reason to do it.
Because they're boasting about how much money they can make off of this.
So let's take a look at your stuff.
So they said we want to have some data.
They started turning the data over, but Vanderbilt wanted to get the patients on their side to say, help, help, we're being repressed, right?
And they violated our medical privacy and so forth.
Stopped them from getting this data.
What an evil place Vanderbilt is.
You know, cynically using these people to set them up and run interference on the state of Tennessee investigating them for overbilling.
That's what's going on here. These people are just pure evil.
And it's about the money. More transgender patients have reportedly joined a class action suit against Vanderbilt after it alerted these patients that their medical records are being given to the Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Scimetti as part of an investigation into inflated billing practices.
In the first lawsuit, Vanderbilt is accused of violating federal law and internal policy by releasing the information to Scimetti.
The Attorney General asked for the information while investigating the billing practices of Vanderbilt's transgender program, which he then later clarified is specifically related to Vanderbilt and its vendors, but not to the patients.
They're not interested in coming after the patients.
They're interested in coming after these Vanderbilt vampires.
Who are trying to suck the money out of these people.
They don't care what they do to their bodies as long as they can get absorbent amounts of money.
Scrimetti's office ultimately received records from about 100 patients.
A spokesperson from Scrimetti's office suggested that the hospital should deliberately work to frighten its patients with these claims.
There you go. They need to change their mascot.
I don't know what the mascot is for Vanderbilt University, but it should be the vampire, I think.
In California, you have an elementary school is forcing fifth graders to explain the book My Shadow is Pink to kindergartners.
Boy, this is pure Huxley Brave New Schools, isn't it?
We're going to use 5th graders now to sexualize kindergarten kids.
These people are just unbelievably perverse.
Carlos Encinas, 11-year-old son, was assigned to read a book, My Shadow is Pink, in his 5th grade class, May 1st, north of San Diego.
The book centers around a boy who describes his father's shadow as big and blue, but his dilemma is with his own shadow, which he feels is pink.
My heart skips a beat, says the book, as I put on a dress.
My shadow loves ponies and books and pink toys, princesses and fairies and things not for boys.
The book then talks about other people's shadows.
Her shadow, she hides it.
Hair Shadow likes girls.
After Encino's 11-year-old read the book in his own class, the 5th graders were told they would be sharing the story with their buddy class, a class of kindergartners that the 5th graders read to and mentor.
This is something I've not seen before.
Perhaps they figured that the 5th graders know more than the teachers that they've hired.
That seems to be what's happening in the schools now anyway.
That's actually where he felt the most uncomfortable.
He said, these little kids look up to them, and they are with them twice a month.
So Encinas and his wife reached out to the school and asked why the parents were not notified that their kids would be reading this book and sharing it with even younger kids.
The couple decided to share their son's experience on their own social media to let parents know what was happening.
Oh, that's when the trouble began.
I was hoping that the call would be conciliatory or have some sort of a, well, maybe we can do better, or you should have been notified, but no.
They were very oppositional.
They doubled down. It was more about her trying to understand how my video was making their teachers feel unsafe.
When you tell people what we're doing, we feel threatened.
Why? Well, because they know that they're acting like pedophiles.
And I know that's going to get some people upset.
Carlos says that the principal denied the book and was about being transgender.
He said it was about, or she, said it was about identity and being inclusive.
Jenny, Carlos' wife, says that she's being attacked by other moms at the school.
The PTA president organized a campaign, Pink Out the Hate.
As in, we are the hateful ones, she said.
It made me physically sick.
My younger son wouldn't go to school.
My older son was brave enough to go, but he came home feeling like everyone is wearing pink and they're doing it against me.
They said, we've been called racist.
I am Hispanic, said Carlos.
We've been told we're anti-LGBT. But we don't hate anyone.
No, what they're doing is they're projecting these sexual degenerates who hate everybody else.
They're projecting their hate onto them.
So they're considering moving their sons to a private school.
They're considering? They're not doing it already?
A private school, by the way, may have the same problem because the curriculum is being driven by the government.
Folks, bottom line is this.
homeschool you can't possibly do a worse job than these schools so we got some comments here before we run out of time atomic dog in terms of talking about MRA tech well here's one from grant about this parents will just take their kids out of schools are the ones who actually care anyway so this can be a positive it can be and and I think the issue is that once you get enough parents who have their kids out of school and they're not
getting any money from the system and don't take any money from the system folks because if you do they will use it to control you just like they use it to control the private So do not take their money, and once enough of us get out of the system and we say, what am I paying these big property taxes for to miseducate kids, then we need to have a financial reason to start taking these institutions down.
In terms of mRNA, many years ago, mRNA tech was pushed as a potential cancer treatment, says Atomic Dog.
I asked my oncologist about it, and he said it doesn't work at all.
Now they market it as a fluvax, and it still doesn't work.
They're also out there talking about using it still as a cancer drug.
You know, that was the thing with Moderna.
For 10 years, they were putting out mRNA stuff.
They never had a product that worked.
Not until Trump and Fauci plucked them out of obscurity and gave them tens of billions of dollars.
And of course, they still don't have anything that works.
You say that their purpose is to kill people and to disable people.
Works great for that.
The other stuff is not the real purpose.
Thank you so much for listening today, folks.
We really could use the support.
If you take a look at the gas gauge, we're getting close to the end of the month, and we're only at about 5.8, so we're only a little bit over 50%.
If you could support the program, we really would appreciate it.
We run the program almost primarily on voluntary contributions.
Have a good day. 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.

Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing.
