	using free speech to free minds You're listening to The David Night Show.
	As the clock strikes 13, it's Thursday, the 18th of July, year of our Lord 2024.
	Well, today we're going to begin by taking a look at all these new revelations that are coming out about what happened last Saturday.
	This is now being called, I guess, J13. What was it?
	We have information broke yesterday, and I'm going to give you an update on it.
	This is about insider trading.
	Just before the shooting of Trump, insider trading on some of his stock.
	We're also going to take a look at the other explanations about this.
	Was it DEI? Was it a stand down?
	What is happening with the investigation of this?
	Every day there are more questions that surround this.
	And then we're going to take a closer look at this phone call that Trump had with RFK Jr.
	We're going to take a look at Steve Bannon and information about his connections with Epstein that have just resurfaced.
	We'll be right back.
	Well, you know, when we look at 9-11, for example, it was very interesting that one
	of the things that surrounded it, of course, a big part of what happened with 9-11 that was interesting was the coincidence of the plane or the missile or whatever you think it was that hit the Pentagon.
	went right through the window of the place where they're investigating.
	I think it was, I don't remember how many trillions, I think it was six.
	Six trillion dollars missing.
	Years and years later, I guess it was about 2017 or so, I was in a shop, as I've said many times, I was in a shop with a woman.
	It was empty, it was a little gift shop in Texas.
	And Karen was looking around the shop, I wasn't interested, so I was just kind of standing there.
	And she starts telling me all about her shop and her life story.
	How she used to work in the military.
	And how she used to work in the Pentagon.
	And how she was involved, and she just, you know, I'm a total stranger.
	She just starts monologuing about how the department she was in was investigating all of these people who had been around this missing money.
	And she said we had people who were high-ranking officials in the military as well as high-ranking political officials.
	They were given the option to resign, and they were resigning left and right, she said.
	And she said, you know, I would have been killed when the Pentagon was hit with that plane if I had stayed because it went right into the office while I was working.
	She didn't connect the things at all.
	She went right into the office where I was working.
	She took early retirement because her husband had retired.
	Her husband was a bit older than she was.
	So she got out and they moved to this place in Texas.
	And she said, I was really lucky I wasn't there.
	I said, I'm listening to this.
	I'm like, I don't really need to pull my phone out and start recording this.
	But I was afraid she was going to stop if I did that.
	And so I asked her, I said, where do you get your news?
	She said, I'll listen to CNN. Never put this stuff together.
	And so there was trillions that was missing within the government.
	And of course, Rumsfeld talked about that a day or two before that happened.
	And then there was insider trading around it as well.
	Federal officials have begun a major investigation into whether someone or many people benefited financially from the evil done to the country last Tuesday.
	Not long before the attacks occurred, there were some financial transactions in the stock market that may indicate knowledge of the attack before it began.
	This could very well be insider trading.
	At the worst, most horrific, most evil use you've ever seen in your entire life.
	The Thursday before the attack, more than 2,000 contracts betting that the stock would go down were purchased.
	90 times more in one day than in three weeks.
	When the markets reopened, United's stock dropped.
	The price of the contracts soared.
	And someone may have made a lot of money fast.
	$180,000 turns into $2.4 million when that plane hits the World Trade Center.
	It's almost the same story with American Airlines.
	That's a five-fold increase in the value of what was a $337,000 trade on Monday.
	All of a sudden becomes what?
	$1.8 million. An extraordinarily high number of bets against Morgan Stanley and Martian McLennan, two of the World Trade Center's biggest tenants.
	Could this be a coincidence?
	This would be one of the most extraordinary coincidences in the history of mankind if it was a coincidence.
	The Secretary of the Treasury said today, of this investigation, you've got to go through ten veils before you get to the real story.
	Yeah, got to go through 10 veils before you get to the real story.
	Well, whatever happened to that?
	Did they go through the veils? I don't think so, right?
	Airline stocks, the companies that owned Twin Towers being shorted and all the rest of this stuff.
	And so then we have this that showed up yesterday on Twitter and became the trending thing.
	Champagne Joshi, I guess.
	Joshi. Can someone please explain to me the extreme disparity between trade volume and the daily high for Trump's stock?
	D.J.T. for Thursday, July 11th.
	And on Friday, July 12th, the day before the assassination attempt.
	He shows the radical swings in the volume and the fact that it was being shorted.
	He says, if that Friday high is real, hold on to your boots, my friends.
	I may have discovered something huge.
	And it would actually be really big.
	But of course, whatever happened to the insider trading around 9-11?
	You know, you can have these things that are really huge and you can never have any resolution of it, right?
	And so even if this is real, what's going to happen with it?
	Probably nothing. As I said from the very beginning, when you look at this, you're going to start to explain a lot of this stuff as incompetence.
	And certainly, incompetence is a big part of this.
	But of course, the incompetence can also be used if you are acting malicious.
	And if you have enough incompetence, It starts to look like malice, doesn't it?
	It actually becomes malice if you leave it there.
	You don't do anything about it.
	But you can deliberately use that incompetence maliciously.
	And so if you've got something here that shows that there was insider trading around this, that is very big.
	As a matter of fact, they narrowed it down.
	said a company called Austin Private Wealth showed 12 million shares of DJT via a put option. They're selling it short. The filing date is July the 12th the day before the assassination attempt. They have around a billion dollars in assets under management and this is by far the largest put that was placed.
	According to a source the trade represents 6% of total shares and over 16% of the float of the stock given the fact that Trump owns 60% of the company.
	This is a giant bet when you consider their total assets, but there was more to it than this.
	And so here's the picture of the trade that he snapshotted there.
	And you can see where they highlighted the sale...
	Trump Media Technology and 12 million shares that were there.
	And so then, late last night, the company replied, well actually there was more, Shadows of Ezra, now all of the other stuff was done by the individual whose name is Champagne Joshi,
	or Joshi, then Shadow of Ezra, Not only did Austin Private Welp short 12 million shares of Trump's stock before his attempted assassination, they also shorted 34 million shares of Rumble at exactly the same time.
	And so what's going on with this?
	Well, a lot of people reached out to the company.
	So what they did about midnight last night, this was posted, a correction.
	And this was put up by the guy who originally put it out there, Champagne Joshi.
	He says their statement said they had an incorrect filing with the SEC.
	The SEC filing which showed that Austin Private Wealth shorted a large number of shares of Trump Media and Technology Group was incorrect and we immediately amended it as soon as we learned of the error.
	No client of Austin Private Wealth holds or has ever held a put on DJT in the quantity initially reported.
	The correct holding amount was 12 contracts, or 1,200 shares, not 12 million shares, as was filed in error.
	In submitting the required report to the second quarter of 2024, a multiplier supplied by a third-party vendor that increased the number of shares by a multiple of 10,000 for all option contracts, not just for DJT.
	That'd be the rumble thing as well.
	We did not catch the error before approving the filing.
	We filed the report on July 12th to reflect our positions on June 28th, and we amended it on July 16th.
	We deeply regret this error and the concern that it's caused, especially at such a fraught moment for our nation.
	We're committed to full transparency and maintaining the trust of our clients.
	As such, we are reviewing our internal procedures and our processes with the third-party vendor that assists.
	For the SEC filings to better understand how this happened and to avoid similar issues moving forward.
	So, just a gigantic clerical oversight, says Champaign-Yosi.
	Moving along, he said. So, is that sarcasm?
	So, what is going on here?
	Did they do this massive short and then lie about it?
	Or was it a simple explanation?
	That it was multiplied by 10,000, which is, you know, if you multiply it by 1,000, that's more common.
	But it still could be that.
	I think it's going to be very easy to prove or to disprove that.
	But I would in general accept their explanation of this.
	I know that everybody wants to see the insider trading.
	I know that everybody wants this to be a vast conspiracy.
	And I think there is something of a conspiracy with this because it continues to build.
	We have a clip of a congressman who was part of Special Forces, snipers and things like that, talking about, and he also worked as security for a major corporation as a consultant based on his military experience.
	We've had so many people who were snipers all over the world.
	Nobody believes this.
	Nobody believes this.
	It is such an epic fail if it is incompetence.
	That everybody's believing that it is some kind of a setup.
	And we'll talk about the stand-down issues and we'll talk about what they have to say about it.
	I'm not going to take a side on any of this stuff yet.
	You know, you can jump to these things and you can grab this stuff like a lot of people did yesterday in the race to be first.
	And, you know, there really isn't any penalty if you get it wrong, is there?
	That's why people do this.
	If the New York Times gets something wrong, there's no penalty for them, certainly, right?
	No matter how many times they, you know, jump to the wrong conclusion, I mean, just look at what happened on Saturday, is our reporting.
	He got scared by loud noise and he fell down on the stage.
	There's no penalty for them for saying that.
	There's been no penalty.
	You had a reporter for the New York Times at one point in time won a Pulitzer Prize.
	About a story of a young person who was living this kind of homeless existence.
	They completely made it up.
	Completely made it up.
	And they've done that type of thing many times.
	So you can have a long Pulitzer Prize winning story that's complete fiction.
	They can get it wrong on current events and all the rest of the stuff.
	They can outright lie to you.
	It doesn't matter.
	So the game in media is to get there first.
	To get the most eyeballs. And of course, there's a lot of people that play that game.
	It's not just the mainstream media.
	It's also the alternative media.
	There's no penalty for Infowars when they jump on something and get it wrong.
	Or any of them. If they do something that's sensational and they get the eyeballs, they win.
	And then they come back later on and they spin it or they say something that's completely opposite of that so they can take their pick as to which one of these things when it comes through.
	You know, just like these stock portfolio managers, they hedge their bets.
	They got their bet on one thing, but then they also got a hedge on the other side of it.
	I know because I was the hedge on the other side of it saying, I don't know about that when I was at Infowars.
	And I don't know about this.
	I mean, I'll report to you what is happening with it.
	I'm skeptical about everything.
	I'm skeptical about Trump's ear injury, even.
	I want to see the hole.
	And, you know, even if I see the hole, it's like, okay, I'm like the Doubting Thomas, you know, who says, Jesus, I need to stick my finger in the hole in your hand.
	I need to stick my finger in the hole in his ear, not the one that was always there, but the new one that was there.
	I need to know that it wasn't something that was done when he got to the hospital, even.
	You know, I mean, it's just, you could have multiple shooters.
	There's been reports of multiple shooters.
	I don't know if that's the case, either.
	You could have some people who shot into the audience to make it look real.
	Who benefits from this when you look at this type of thing?
	And, of course, it could be another deliberate stand-down, a failed attempt by the Biden administration.
	They had just seen that their case was going to be shut down by Judge Cannon.
	And she had a legitimate point to do that.
	It's absolutely legitimate.
	And I didn't talk about this a couple of days ago, but Thomas Massey had said that a few months prior to that.
	He says, where is the statutory authority for the special prosecutor?
	We didn't authorize it in Congress.
	And where is the funding for him?
	That has to come from Congress as well.
	Well, you can't do that.
	I mean, again, it's like gun control by executive order.
	And quite frankly, Congress doesn't have the authority to do gun control.
	Because there's a Second Amendment there.
	If they want to do gun control, they've got to get rid of the Second Amendment first.
	And that applies whether you're talking about the executive branch or the legislative branch or the judicial branch.
	So, I don't...
	You know, when they put that stuff in there, it's all pure fiction.
	But... When this judge said, you don't have statutory authority, you don't have allocation of the money for this investigation that you're doing, so you're done.
	I think that'll hold up.
	I think that's a very clear argument.
	But that had come out, so, you know, it was, you could look at this and say, well, is this a desperation attempt after they lost their lawfare against him?
	And when you look at the lawfare, as I've said for the longest time, is this lawfare designed to help Biden win?
	Or is it designed by the people that control Biden to help Trump win?
	Because it always worked in his favor.
	It allowed him to skate through and not participate in debates, not participate in the primary process.
	Nobody wanted to talk about issues.
	All they wanted to talk about was the lawfare.
	The lawfare worked to the advantage of Trump.
	Bigly. Everybody knew that.
	Everybody knew that would happen before it did, if they're watching politics.
	As it was going on, James Carville was out there saying, you gotta stop this.
	It's working, it's helping him.
	You gotta, you know, they know that.
	It's so funny you think we don't know that.
	Channel Martin Short, right?
	I know that. It's so funny you think I don't know that.
	How could this stuff continue to go on?
	And of course, then we can look at the bigger picture.
	Then we can say, what is this designed to do in the election?
	Is this designed, you know, the lawfare against Trump?
	An assassination thing against him?
	Is this designed to push us into a civil war?
	Either way? I think it is.
	I think it's designed to push us into a civil war, whether he wins or loses.
	Especially now, everybody, oh, well, Trump is so far ahead, you've got CNN saying, look at this, I think he's got like 330 electoral college votes.
	He's a shoo-in. Well, they're building that expectation.
	And then when they pull the rug out from underneath people, you've already got all of these MAGA influencers.
	And that's what they are. They're not journalists.
	They're not analysts.
	They're MAGA influencers.
	And who's giving them the material?
	We're going to talk about that coming up.
	We're going to talk about Bannon and Alex and what these guys are doing out there in terms of pushing civil war, in terms of setting expectations.
	And that's a very dangerous thing.
	Now, of course, you can look at it from the other standpoint.
	This is a legitimate stand-down.
	I mean, a legitimate stand-down.
	If this was a stand-down and, let's say, a legitimate attempt to take him out with a stand-down, and he miraculously escaped and got his ear nicked, if all of that stuff is true, if we take the ear shot at face value, so to speak, then Trump is ready for bear as well.
	If he wins. So, when you look at this, the powers that be, and the parties and the presidents aren't the powers that be.
	It's the CIA and the factions behind them.
	And there are CIA factions.
	There's differences within the intelligence community.
	There's differences within the CIA, but even more importantly, there's differences between the CIA, NSA, and the military parts of the intelligence community.
	And so these people are fighting for control.
	How do these people fight for control in a particular country?
	They create civil wars, they create coups, they do assassinations, all this type of thing.
	And regardless of which side this is coming from, it's a technique that either side would use.
	They use deception.
	They use assassination.
	They use coups. And so, here's the bottom line.
	It's not important, really, that we understand whether it was Biden that tried to take Trump out or whether it was incompetence and just, you know, these people are just so DEI, they can't tie their shoes.
	And there's a part of it. But, you know, or if it's even like, you know, double false flaggers, whatever you want to call it, where Trump sets us up and has friendly people with him even.
	Whatever is behind that, you need to look beyond that.
	Don't let this push you into a civil war.
	That's the most important thing to come out.
	That's what I was talking about the other day with The Last American Vagabond, his take on it.
	Exactly mine. You'll never know with any certainty what is happening with all this stuff.
	Sorry to disappoint you.
	And you can play with the theories, and that can keep you busy.
	It's a little busy spinner.
	And we'll talk about these theories.
	I think we should talk about them.
	But don't let it get you distracted from what really happened in 2020 and 2021 and 2022.
	Come on! That's for real.
	That was the real attack on us, on all of us, not just on Trump.
	And folks, when you look at what is being set up in our country, The politicians are at this level.
	Behind them are the intelligence agencies that are there, and the military-industrial complex.
	And above those people, that's why I talk about the science that DARPA is in, above them is the satanic level, the spiritual warfare level.
	And, yeah, there is a conspiracy there.
	And you better not let these people, at any of these levels, above the presidency.
	You better be on guard and not let them do some kind of patriot act.
	They always use this stuff to push us, with fear, to push us into a more totalitarian society.
	So first of all, understand that you don't want to let this distract you from the real issues.
	Secondly, don't get so drawn up into this that you get involved in this Civil War stuff so that they don't do another January the 6th to you, Alex and Bannon and these other people.
	Don't let them do that to you again.
	And don't let them do it to your friends.
	Tell them as well. And then the third thing is, don't let them use this for more of a police state and more surveillance.
	That's the way that they always use this stuff.
	So apart from an election, that's one of the things they're going to do.
	So be aware of those things.
	Even as you look at this...
	I mean, we know that 9-11 is not true.
	And we can argue all day as to whether or not it was bombs that were pre-planted or whether it was directed energy weapons or many other things that are out there as well.
	So we can argue about that.
	But understand, they put the Patriot Act on us and it's still there.
	And understand that it also was a part of the plandemic.
	The plandemic, the dark winter germ game, ran two months before.
	And then one week after, they had the anthrax attack, and they put out the model legislation, and they practiced it for 20 years.
	Those are all connected.
	That's what you should be focusing on.
	It's not what caused the buildings to fall in free fall.
	We know that made it an inside job.
	Who did it? How they did it is not important.
	What they used it for.
	The Model State Public Health Emergency Act, I always get the order of the words messed up.
	But it's a model state legislation for a public health emergency.
	That's the important thing right now.
	That and the Patriot Act.
	And so, when we move forward, Don't let yourself get distracted on some of these details.
	But having said that, we are going to take a look a little bit more at some of these details when we return.
	So, we will be right back.
	Welcome back.
	Thank you.
	Well, the DEI aspect of what has happened in every department of the Biden administration has been a joke.
	I mean, we got Sam Brinton, who is supposed to be looking after nuclear waste, but all he can focus on are the handbags and luggage of women that he thinks have some great dresses that he can steal.
	And then, of course, he's also focused on some kind of weird, you know, bondage stuff and everything.
	And then you've got Richard Levine, Dick Levine as I call him, or Dick Devine, who is a drag queen, and the number two at HHS. And the person who was used by, you know, he's not just an empty suit, or I should say an empty dress.
	He also was instrumental in trying to shut down any investigation into the effects of fluoride.
	So they have their purposes.
	But then when we look at the Secret Service, everybody is laughing about what is going.
	This is a story from Babylon Bee.
	Secret Service beefs up Trump's security with a squad of blind midgets.
	Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheadle said, I have personally vetted these seeing-impaired persons of limited stature, and I certify them ready for deployment.
	They asked why they were so short and also why they kept bumping into things, and that's just not acceptable, she said.
	They are as devoted to their duty as they are physically handicapped.
	And I can think of no one better to protect President Trump than this lovable group of misfits we call the smallest one pepper.
	These agents are as tough as any seven-foot-tall man.
	Tougher even, said Secretary Mayorkas.
	They still have to pass the same test as a normal agent, albeit with the benefit of a handicap in their favor.
	And we don't make them hop over walls or climb stairs, for example.
	That would just be mean to do something like that.
	Well, this video here of the...
	The DEI hire.
	As in, didn't earn it.
	Who is trying to holster her gun has gone viral.
	I think this is the best one of them with the commentary.
	After Secret Service Barbie, a highly trained member of the Secret Service, removes her weapon from its holster for the very first time in her career.
	She struggles to return her pea shooter as though it's her first day on the job.
	Fortuitously, her skills from a previous life as an amateur actress come into play, allowing her to convincingly mimic the swift draw of the weapon and scan the horizon for threats.
	Chewing her gum nonchalantly, she attempts to exude a tactical demeanor, reminiscent of a fusion between the Blues Brothers and Rosie O'Donnell.
	Despite her efforts, our agent's attempt to return her wireless hole punch to its home results in another failure.
	While she may have faltered at this most basic of tasks, she certainly looked cool while doing it.
	Yeah.
	The Barbie. Putting women on the Secret Service was a wonderful idea.
	Wonderful. Yeah, yeah.
	The height is one of the things right there.
	Mr. President, get down!
	No, no, further down.
	Still further. You've got to get on the ground before they have any effect.
	And there's all kinds of parodies.
	Here is an adult-sized costume where you can dress like her.
	And the name of it is the FBI DEI Hire.
	It includes a badge, a weapon, sunglasses, holster puzzle, and a rubber stamp to bypass pesky merit-based advancement.
	Yeah, it is a joke.
	It is a total joke.
	And as some people were talking about this, they took pictures of the Secret Service detail around Trump as he went into the RNC. And they said, notice that there's no women.
	No women. Look at this.
	It's all big, tall guys.
	Funny how that works. An army of men around him.
	Yeah, well, you get the idea.
	It's kind of like when they were doing the recruitment videos for the military.
	And they had these cartoonish women and stuff like that.
	And they said, well, it's okay.
	You know, you don't need to actually do any physical things when you're in the army.
	Of course not, right? You just push buttons.
	Isn't that the way it is now? And then when things started to get hot with the rhetoric in Ukraine...
	Then they started running and everybody was making fun of it.
	They said, look at our recruitment videos versus China versus Russia.
	It was targeted towards men.
	It was showing them doing hard things.
	That's what the military used to be known for.
	And then when they start to escalate towards war, they go back to the old style videos in the U.S. and they said, uh-oh, things are getting serious.
	And then they start talking about doing a draft.
	And guess what? In the draft...
	Um, they're going after males.
	Uh, and so there's now been some talk about, uh, doing females, but it was all about males and saying, and that's not going to be a trans male.
	That's not going to be a woman who imagines that she's a man.
	Uh, we're going to go for actual biological men, that type of thing.
	Well, you know, when we're talking about satire and we're talking about hate, probably Joe Behar is one of the best examples of this.
	She suggests that That if you got a 20-year-old white guy who is buying 50 rounds of ammo...
	That should be reported. You buy a couple of boxes of ammo?
	That should be reported?
	These people have no idea what they're talking about.
	They never know what they're talking about.
	They don't. Especially when it comes to guns.
	They're empty suits. Yeah.
	Your average TV reporter is dumber than anyone you've ever met.
	That's right. How about being like a DEI hire for The View?
	Which is what Bayhar and Whoopi Goldberg are.
	They're DEI hires for The View.
	It's amazing. Well, she said, she looked at her fellow host and she said, shouldn't that have been reported?
	You know, somebody buys 50 rounds, a 20-year-old white guy?
	I mean, we've seen that many times now.
	Young white men with guns, and nobody reported that he bought 50 rounds of ammunition.
	A couple of boxes.
	That should be reported, she thinks.
	She thinks 50 rounds is a lot.
	It's now a lot of money because of the rapid increase in ammunition price, but it's not a lot of rounds.
	So... Then we have people asking, why wasn't there somebody on the roof?
	And of course, at the very beginning, people were making jokes about it.
	They said, well, why wasn't there somebody there?
	Well, you can't have the Secret Service and the CIA on the same roof at the same time.
	That'd be crazy, right? No, U.S. Secret Service explains the failure to secure the roof that was used by the Trump sniper.
	Kimberly Cheadle, head of the Secret Service, claims safety concerns prevented her agents from deploying on the roof of the building.
	It is getting even more ridiculous every day as she tries to cover up for this.
	Listen to what she said. Should that roof have been secured, period.
	That building in particular has a sloped roof at its highest point, and so there's a safety factor that would be considered there that we wouldn't want to put somebody up on a sloped roof, and so the decision was made to secure the building from inside.
	Wouldn't want to put somebody up on a sloped roof.
	Well, these guys were up on a sloped roof.
	As a matter of fact, a lot of people put up this picture versus the other picture to show that this is a much more sloped roof.
	And neither of them are really all that sloped.
	She's getting trolled.
	It was trending all over social media, especially Twitter.
	All of these different videos and still shots.
	Here's a video of a cow up on a roof.
	With a greater slope than the one that the crooks guy was on.
	And then you have all of these still pictures as well.
	There he is. He's perfectly fine up on a metal roof.
	I would think that would be very slippery with a hoof.
	But here's another one of a cow.
	Even higher pitch of the roof.
	I think this is in Europe somewhere.
	He's got an old-fashioned cowbell around his neck.
	People put up a picture of their miniature horse.
	On the roof. Also more sloped.
	And then this is my favorite one.
	This is MAGA. This is a guy standing on a much more steeply pitched roof holding a Trump 2024 flag.
	It's pretty ridiculous, isn't it?
	There's a safety factor, she said, that had to be considered here.
	A safety factor? You know, the other day I talked to a guy, a Secret Service agent, for 24 years.
	He said every day we check off the job, we say, yeah, I cheated death today, right?
	I mean, they didn't get killed.
	The person they're protecting didn't get killed.
	It's a dangerous job.
	I mean, they're supposed to use their bodies as shields.
	We don't want to put somebody on a sloped roof.
	There's a safety factor.
	To be considered there, that we wouldn't want to put somebody up on a sloped roof.
	Well, maybe if you were a Pepsi executive, that is a consideration, but not if you're running the Secret Service.
	Now, she does have Secret Service experience.
	I'm not really sure what part of the agency she was doing.
	It might have been purely paperwork or something.
	This is the way it was...
	Reported on what was trending on Twitter, says cow outshines Secret Service on social media.
	All the videos of the cows on the roofs, all over the different place.
	Well, the Secret Service explanations for security failures are just not adding up.
	And there's a lot of talk about having an investigation and not simply allowing the Department of Homeland Security or the Department of Justice or the Secret Service or the FBI to investigate themselves.
	They will have a congressional investigation, but of course we know how these things operate, don't we?
	We've seen Jim Jordan and these people in operation so many times.
	They'll have long, drawn-out things, and it's going to be the sort of thing where I'm not going to be reporting on every detail of it, as many people will do, because what we need to be focused on are the issues that directly affect us.
	And folks, if they're not going to talk about what happened with the pandemic, with the vaccine, and the rest of this stuff, All the rest of this stuff is a head fake.
	You know it. I know it.
	If they're not going to get serious about the core issues, if they won't talk about that, the rest of this stuff is just a red herring.
	Even as real as it might be So former army sniper who's now can congressman?
	Corey Mills Called it a sniper's paradise the way the thing was set up We've got a clip of his we're gonna play coming up But I wanted to show one more thing and it is something that he talks about We has a very interesting back and forth it went for about eight minutes, and it got kind of heated because the CNN reporter that was there interviewing him there at the RNC the Republican National Convention and She did not want to hear him saying there might be some kind
	You know what he was saying was there is the level of incompetence is so great which is what I said. Once you get to a certain level of incompetence, you have to say, well, maybe there's more than just incompetence and circumstantial evidence.
	You know, when I've talked to the man who did Cold Case Christianity, he used to be a cold case detective.
	And he said, you know, circumstantial evidence, if you've got enough of it, is concrete.
	And if you've got enough circumstantial incompetence here, that's concrete.
	That something is happening.
	Even if we can't find the smoking gun of a written order or something like that to pin it on somebody, we still know that is the situation.
	And when Corey Mills was talking to her, and it's about eight minutes long.
	I'm not going to play the full eight minutes.
	I've cut it down about half.
	And, but...
	Towards the end of it, he said, you know, when you come in, you're going to be looking at all these possible threat areas, but you're also going to be looking at things like, how do you get somebody out?
	Your red lanes, your green lanes, if something were to happen, how do we rapidly get out of here?
	Well, how were they going to rapidly get out of there?
	Take a look at this. Here they are struggling trying to get a gate open so they can get some vehicles in there.
	And we made this silent because these guys are struggling with it.
	And after a while, they start using some salty language here.
	But the person who put this up...
	Said, this video shows cops struggling to get to Trump's shooter's location.
	They needed a vehicle to ram a fence.
	Oh, okay. So if they needed a vehicle to ram a fence, he says, how did he get a rifle and a ladder past all these fences?
	That's right. It's not just a rifle, and it's not just the lax security.
	But how did he get the ladder there?
	Did he find the ladder? Was that just lucky?
	Somebody leave that there for him?
	You know, what is really going on?
	Well, we're going to take a look at the stand-down issues in more detail when we come back.
	And we'll let you hear what Congressman Corey Mills had to say, which I think is very interesting and it's very important and relevant.
	But again, the most important thing is to not let them take away our freedoms, not let them do another thing.
	Patriot Act, not let them do another Model State Health Emergency Powers Act, something like that, that's going to take away our freedoms.
	Not let them scare us into that.
	Not let them use this to drum up support for a civil war, regardless of who wins this election.
	We'll be right back.
	♪♪♪
	Making sense.
	It's common again.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	And when we talk about the stand-down, it's not like that's something that's never been done before.
	Take a look at this. Here we have a JFK and an open convertible.
	And the Secret Service is running alongside there.
	And then you've got a carload of Secret Service agents.
	The guy who's running along says, okay, hold your car right here and let him get a lot of distance on us.
	Right there. And so the question people have, is that a stand-down right there?
	What is going on with that?
	Well, you can question that.
	Secret Service has warned about Thomas Crooks.
	He had been ID'd as a threat.
	Now, this article from the New York Post says 10 minutes before Trump took the stage.
	But they let the ex-president go on the stage anyway.
	Secret Service was warned.
	This is New York Post. Secret Service was warned about Thomas Matthew Crooks and designated him as a threat 10 minutes before Trump took the stage.
	Allowed him to go on anyway.
	Law enforcement sources told the New York Post.
	The agency was also warned that there was a quote character of suspicion unquote on the grounds more than an hour before the deadly shooting where an audience member was killed to or in critical condition.
	I've not seen any Update on the condition of the other two people that were wounded?
	Because, you know, they don't matter.
	They're just non-essential people, right?
	They hardly matter, right?
	Anyway, he was identified as a character of suspicion because he had a rangefinder as well as a backpack, said Senator John Barrasso, Republican in Wyoming.
	And this was over an hour before the shooting actually occurred.
	So you would think over the course of that hour, you shouldn't lose sight of the individual, but somebody ought to be following up on those sorts of things.
	No evidence of that happening at all.
	And so this particular article says a 10-minute warning they were given.
	But then when you look at other articles, here's one from ABC News.
	Remember, the New York Post said 10 minutes.
	Now ABC News says 20 minutes.
	He was on the roof 20 minutes before gunfire erupted.
	Okay, so they see somebody suspicious walking around with a rangefinder and a backpack 10 minutes before.
	And 10 minutes later, I don't know where he is, but they have a report that he's now, there's somebody suspicious on the roof that's close by.
	Still nothing done.
	20 minutes passed between the time U.S. Secret Service snipers first spotted the gunman on the rooftop.
	Sorry, I have it backwards. He's on the rooftop 20 minutes beforehand.
	Then they said he was walking around 10 minutes beforehand with a backpack.
	All this stuff is very strange.
	That gets even stranger when you reverse it that way.
	So, again, there's massive incompetence.
	But when we look at the reports, there's also some strange things.
	So, did he get on the roof, then get down, then walk around, then he'd go back and get on the roof again?
	Trump rally gunmen spotted by law enforcement nearly 30 minutes before the shots fired.
	This is coming from the local report there out of Butler, Pennsylvania, Channel 11 News.
	Channel 11 News uncovered dramatic new details.
	According to multiple law enforcement sources, Crooks was spotted by law enforcement nearly 30 minutes before shots were fired that injured Trump, killed a former fire chief, injured two others in the crowd.
	According to multiple sources, law enforcement officers had also previously seen Crooks on the ground, called it in as a suspicious person.
	Prior to 5.45 p.m., our sources tell us an officer checked the grounds for Crooks at that point, did not see him where the first picture was taken.
	26 minutes after the second picture of Crooks was taken by law enforcement and information called in, shots were fired from the roof of the American Glass Research Building.
	By the way, you got Jack Posobiec.
	And you've got Charlie Kirk jumped right in.
	He said, do you realize this shooting took place at 611?
	And he said, if you look in the Bible at Ephesians 611, it says, put on the full armor of God.
	It's like, please stop.
	That is not what Christianity is.
	And they're jumping on it.
	And it's like, oh yeah. And you know what else it says in Ephesians about the armor of God?
	It's just ridiculous.
	Go to Genesis 611.
	The whole earth is full of violence and murder, right?
	Now, I'm not saying, and you go to a lot of other 611 passages and there's nothing that matches up with it at all.
	There is nothing, that is not the way you want to study your Bible.
	If you do that kind of stuff, what you're doing is really not all much different than playing with a Ouija board, quite frankly.
	It's just stupid, stupid attitudes that these people have.
	And that's one of the most dangerous things about this.
	And it's far more dangerous...
	To play those kinds of games with serious things, like the Bible, than it is to do it with politicians.
	Come on. This is why you don't want to pay attention to people like Pasoiet and these other grifters that are out there.
	So, intentional failures.
	Representative Corey Mills, he's a Rock War veteran.
	He was a Special Forces.
	He was also a Security Specialist at DynCorp.
	And this is at the RNC. He says, the amount of negligence, the amount of mistakes that were made here, I have a very difficult time not leaning myself towards this as intentional, as opposed to fecklessness, he said. And he said, if I have a building 160 yards perfectly adjacent to the stage, that's an obvious threat, especially with an elevated position that has an overwatch.
	He said, that's a sniper's paradise.
	Well, here's more of his remarks.
	I look at all of these things and I look at different videos where an assailant will pull a firearm on a law enforcement officer and the first thing they do is they immediately pull and draw and mitigate the threat and the risk.
	You know, I ask why the law enforcement officer did not do so.
	The other thing is that when you set up an advance team, I keep hearing this about the perimeter elements.
	You know, the perimeter is actually established by your threats that are in the area.
	So if I don't have any threats outside of 100 yards, okay, fine, I can cordon off a certain area.
	But if I have a building 160 yards perfectly adjacent to the stage, that's an obvious threat, especially with an elevated position that has overwatch.
	That's a sniper's paradise.
	And, you know, we talk about ego sense.
	You also have, which no one talks about, but the water tower.
	So what I'm hearing from you is a failure on the ground for sure, but also a failure in advance?
	I think it's a failure in advance.
	I think it's a failure to have the counter snipers to be able to establish their range fit and their sketch maps.
	I also heard, we also learned that local snipers were stationed inside that building.
	I haven't heard that piece of it yet, but that doesn't necessarily make sense unless they were actually in a window which was backed off.
	Because a lot of times you get yourself in there.
	Sometimes you expose your rifle in a way to try and do a force protection or a show of force that actually stops things.
	Others are actually more tactical where they'll sit back a little bit.
	But a sniper for the law enforcement is only trained to shoot about 75 yards, unlike your counter-sniper teams that are on.
	But here's my problem.
	In having done this for so long, they always say the adage of ignorance is bliss, and I think that's true.
	I've done thousands of advances.
	I've done thousands of counter sniper operations with our teams in Iraq and Afghanistan, etc.
	The amount of negligence, the amount of mistakes that was made here, I have a very difficult time not leaning myself towards this was intentional as opposed to fecklessness.
	But wait, talk to me about that. I actually heard you say this the day after, which I wanted to ask you about, what do you mean intentional?
	You mean an intentional failure on the part of...
	No, I wouldn't say an intentional failure on the part of, but I got to just, you know, I sit here and I scratch my head and you don't want to be the conspiracist.
	You don't want to be the person. I'm telling you because that's what it's leaning toward.
	No, I know. And that's the issue is that you walk this fine balance of you're not trying to be a conspiracist, but you look at it and you go, how could this have gone so...
	But it's one thing if someone on the street says it.
	I mean, you, Corn Mills, member of Congress, former sniper, you saying it, I mean, it makes my eyebrows go up.
	When you say you're walking the line on this, intentional what?
	You know, it almost seems to me, I think that an investigation is necessary at this point within Congress, not just the FBI, not just others.
	You know, I look back at it and I'm thinking, all right, you know, for an individual, if you looked at the escalations and how they are trying to approach him, let's just say that it was like, okay, first we want to censor and silence you, then we want to indict and imprison you.
	Now we're attempting to kill you and take you off the stage.
	Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You, let's slow down.
	Please. I'm hearing two things from you.
	I don't want to jump ahead of things, but I'm also hearing you jumping ahead of things.
	Well, actually, I'm just looking at all the different possible capabilities.
	You know, one of the things, as a military member, one of the things, well, wait.
	You're not allowed to do that. The person who's running the Special Operations Communities before, one of the people who's actually done this, is that you look at all potential analysis, right?
	Donald Trump and his team have said, No, I agree.
	Dial it back. Do not blame this on Joe Biden.
	Oh, well, actually, I didn't say Joe Biden.
	Who's the they, then? Let's be very specific.
	Well, that's what the investigations do.
	Was it local law enforcement that had made the mistakes?
	Or was there something to it?
	Was there other types of things that we need to be analyzing or looking at and providing analysis?
	My point is that when something's so significant, you're talking about something that hasn't happened in decades, right?
	I totally... But my point is this.
	From a perspective of someone who's actually conducted these, these are not difficult advances.
	This is not like I'm putting together a stage placement and a tight shot.
	This is about looking at your surroundings.
	What is my green, yellow, and red route, which is your routes out in case?
	What is my actual elements that I need to be looking at as far as mitigating threats or risks or increased levels?
	Where's my range fan for the sniper that says, okay, here's my 100, my 200, my sketch.
	Here's an area where someone could shoot.
	Because here's my thing. So you're saying this is so basic that how big the screw-up was, that's what's leading your brain down the road?
	Yeah, imagine that.
	You know, we have, you see there, this is the, and what's as important as what he's saying, it's equally important what she is saying.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	We're not supposed to talk about something that could lead to Biden.
	We're not even supposed to mention that he could possibly be a suspect with any of this stuff.
	And where have we heard this type of thing before?
	Again, if we go back to...
	Was it massive incompetence that happened in 2020?
	I mean, we can't say that it was actually Trump.
	Let's not go there, right?
	Let's not talk about the vaccine, because that would implicate Trump, and that would also implicate the Republicans, wouldn't it?
	So let's not talk about that.
	Let's just say that it was...
	Incredibly stupid and negligent, and maybe it wasn't science, or maybe the Chinese did it.
	There you go. Maybe what they'll do is they'll do an investigation, and they'll say, oh, this whole thing was put together by the Iranians because they had a threat on Trump because he was proud of his assassination of Soleimani.
	And so... Maybe we'll find out that it was the Iranians who did it.
	Do you believe that? So when you're doing an investigation, what do you do with an investigation?
	Well, you have different suspects.
	You suspect something.
	You're not allowed to suspect certain things.
	You're not allowed to suspect certain people.
	You're not allowed to suspect certain motives.
	Those have to be ruled out a priori before you start anything.
	You can't have any suspicions about government, about the FBI, about the CIA, about Fauci.
	You can't have suspicions about Biden or Trump.
	No, you can't go there.
	If you go there, we're going to shut you down.
	And so, here's the thing.
	What is, again, more important than this?
	What happened in 2020?
	That's why I don't look away.
	I would leave on the suspect list not just Biden, but also Trump.
	Why? Well, look at what they did to us four years ago and continue to do.
	I'm suspicious about the entire federal government.
	I'm suspicious about both parties, especially because we're not allowed to talk about that.
	We're not allowed to suspect their motives.
	Well, we're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, We're going to talk about what did Trump know about vaccines and how does he pull the strings with people behind the scenes.
	We'll be right back. You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Well, we have a report, I mentioned this briefly yesterday, Children's Health Defense.
	Two infants died within hours of receiving RSV shots.
	This is something that's been around forever, right?
	Yeah, you know, people die, and always have died, from things like flu, from colds that turn into pneumonia, from RSV, from these types of illnesses.
	But they're now dying right away from vaccines in addition to that.
	The vaccines that don't help people.
	They don't lessen this.
	It's not a therapeutic as opposed to stop you from getting it.
	The vaccine is killing people itself.
	Freedom of Information Act documents obtained by Children's Health Defense reveal that two infants died the same day they got nircevumab.
	I guess that's what you call it.
	It's marketed under the brand name Bayfortis.
	And this is a monoclonal antibody shot.
	So is it a therapeutic?
	Is it a vaccine? Does it qualify for the legal immunity that the pharmaceutical companies were given with Fauci and Reagan?
	It kind of falls into an interesting midpoint itself.
	It was approved last year for infants for the prevention of RSV. But...
	I ask you this. Has any baby ever died within hours of contracting RSV? No.
	Has any baby died within hours of getting the RSV shot?
	Yes. Two, at least, that we know of.
	So, you do the benefits and the risk.
	And you tell me who benefits from that.
	Nobody but the pharmaceutical companies benefit from that.
	According to the reports in VAERS, a 27-day-old boy died immediately upon receiving the shot in the doctor's office, and an infant girl was found not breathing by her father seven hours after receiving the shot.
	The infant was pronounced dead soon after.
	You know, I reported years before all this stuff rolled out in 2020.
	There was in Samoa, I think it was.
	It was close. Pacific Island just came to me just now and planned on talking about it.
	But there was a tragic case.
	The kids were going in to get their childhood shots.
	I think it was an MMR vaccine.
	And the...
	The one kid gets the shot and dies instantly.
	And there's a waiting room with all the mothers with their kids.
	And they're all like two years old.
	Kid gets the shot and dies instantly.
	And the moms are like, okay, we're going to leave now.
	No, no, no, no. It doesn't have anything to do with the shot.
	Come on, doesn't it? The next woman in line, she goes in with her child.
	He gets the shot, dies instantly.
	They blamed the nurses.
	They said, well, these weren't refrigerated or something like that.
	There was something wrong with them because of, they said, negligence of the nurses.
	Of course, it's never going to be the hospital.
	It's never going to be the vaccine company.
	In this particular case, it might not have been the vaccine company.
	It might have been the hospital. But they'll put it on the nurses.
	And so when you have something like this, the FDA approves it.
	They don't care. They approved it in July 2023.
	CDC recommended in August of 2023.
	They recommend it for infants under eight months or for high-risk infants up to 24 months of age.
	Has it been put on hold now?
	No. As a matter of fact, it gets worse than this.
	Because not only have we recently had two infants die immediately after getting this shot, but when they were doing clinical trials for the drugs, they had 12 infants who died.
	We had nine states ban a flu shot about 40 years ago when a couple of people died.
	But here you have the CDC and the FDA, and in their trials you have 12 babies die, and they don't care.
	They push it out anyway.
	You have to know the criminality of these people.
	And think about that. You know, we have, tragically, the husband who shielded his daughter and his wife shot in the head there at the Trump thing.
	One person died.
	And everybody is rightfully upset about the incompetence, the negligence, perhaps the conspiracy of these people who were there.
	And yet, here is a situation where 12 babies died in their trials.
	Two, we know of at least, have subsequently died from the shots.
	14 babies.
	What if you had a serial killer?
	I don't know. Call him the Zodiac Killer.
	Call him anything you want. Who goes out and he targets babies and he's killed 14 of them.
	What would you think about a monster like that?
	A monster like that.
	This monstrous government of ours, the FDA, the CDC, HHS, all of them, NIH, all of that unconstitutional bureaucracy.
	They are serial killers.
	And Trump and Biden are the biggest enablers, the biggest serial killers of them all for what they did in 2020.
	An FDA spokesperson told CNBC when the drug was announced, none of the deaths appear to be related to this.
	No problem. Just a coincidence.
	After the CDC recommended the drug, it expanded the 2024 childhood vaccine schedule to include it for infants in case their mothers did not get the RSV vaccine.
	So, if we can't vaccinate the pregnant women and kill the baby, then we can kill the baby after it's born.
	Don't ever let these people close to your kid Travis with a needle.
	Man, I tell you what.
	It's just amazing.
	Just amazing.
	And so, that brings the question as to what did Trump know about all this stuff?
	And I didn't get a chance to play this.
	Gard and I talked about it a little bit.
	Actually, I did play this video.
	It's a little bit hard to hear what is being said, and I'll recap it for you.
	But this is Trump calling up RFK Jr.
	And RFK Jr.'s son recorded it and put it out.
	And then RFK Jr. was very red-faced about it and took it down and apologized as a breach.
	And yet his son was right in the sense that there shouldn't be anything like this that's off the record.
	There really shouldn't.
	We need to have some transparency here.
	I don't do off-the-record stuff.
	I'm going to blab what I know about people.
	So it kind of shuts your sources off.
	But I don't play that game.
	And so he put out this.
	But I think it's very important because this is what I have seen that Trump does.
	I've never been there when he called Alex, but it's the kind of the way Alex would talk about, oh, I got another call from Trump and all this other kind of stuff.
	He really does get it.
	Just think about when you listen to this call, think about the game that Trump is playing.
	When he starts talking about, yeah, these childhood vaccines, they put 38 of them in one of these things, and it's huge.
	It's really big. They got these little tiny babies, and you got this great big vaccine thing you could inject a horse with.
	That's not what's going on.
	But he's trying to say, well, yeah, you know, what he's doing is, by making this stuff up, And of course, Alex plays that game as well.
	Make stuff up. Just to get people that, well, he kind of understands what's going on, but he doesn't quite get the details right.
	But he's really on our side because he's really concerned about the vaccines that are there.
	And he's not. They give kids over 90 shots now.
	They just added the RSV thing.
	And many of these shots, as I was going back and looking at the schedule, they give them like every three months.
	So you get a second one, a third one, a fourth one.
	I was wrong when I said, we've never seen a situation where they're scheduling two shots, you know, 30 days apart.
	No, they've been doing that on the kids' schedule for quite some time.
	I just didn't know it.
	And that's how they get up to 90 shots.
	And that's how they damage these kids as well.
	Because it's the adjuvants in there.
	It's the mercury. It's the aluminum.
	It's the preservatives.
	It's the sugar water that's in there, right?
	That brings this stuff up.
	So, when you listen to this, first of all, Trump makes up stuff about vaccines.
	It's not true. But he does it in order to make RFK Jr.
	think that he's on his side.
	And then, he says, you know, it could be really big for you if you work with me.
	And I'm going to win.
	And so you need to work with me.
	This is the game that he plays with all influencers.
	The same game that he's playing with R.K. Jr.
	Well, I guess, you know, I'm pretty important because I got a phone call from Trump.
	Remember I said I want to do small doses.
	Small doses. When you see a baby, Robbie, a vaccination that is like 38 different vaccines...
	And it looks like it's been for a horse, not a, you know, 10-pound or 20-pound baby.
	It looks like you should be given a horse.
	And you ever see the size of it, right?
	You know, it's just massive. And then you see the baby all of a sudden starting to change radically.
	I've seen it too many times.
	And then you hear that it doesn't have an impact, right?
	But you and I talked about that a long time ago.
	And, uh, anyway.
	I would be, I would love you to do stuff.
	And I think it would be so good for New York, and so good for you.
	And we're gonna win. We're gonna win.
	Yeah. Yeah.
	I've seen that happen.
	And so have you. And we've talked about this a long time ago.
	Again, talking about how he brought him in and used RFK Jr.
	to bid his price up at big pharmaceutical companies who gave him millions of dollars during the transition period.
	And they got a CEO of Eli Lilly in to run HHS for the benefit of big pharma.
	But you know, Trump was selling that same kind of stuff to Alex and other people.
	He's like, oh yeah, autism.
	He knows about vaccines and autism.
	I've seen what happens to these babies right away, that type of thing.
	But then we saw in 2019...
	They have to get the shot.
	The vaccinations are so important.
	This is really going around now.
	They have to get their shot.
	Yeah, the game that he played with RFK Jr., Come on, I'm going to get you, and we're going to get these things.
	We're going to make them safe. There's too much of it.
	Too much of it, too early, all the rest of this stuff.
	I've seen what happens to the babies, but then later on, oh, when it's measles, measles, oh, they've got to get the shot.
	It's really going around.
	Again, when he was a kid, everybody got measles.
	Everybody got measles. It wasn't any big deal.
	You got immunity as well. It was a childhood disease.
	It wasn't a big deal when it was measles, mumps.
	You got all that when you were young.
	And so, yeah, that's the game that he plays.
	And so...
	It's just politics, right?
	You know, it's fine. He's playing 4D chess, and he can tell people whatever he wants to tell them.
	Because the object is for Trump to win.
	And if he's got to shade the facts a little bit, that's all that really matters.
	Because we've got to have Trump in that spot.
	So it doesn't matter if you lie to people about the childhood vaccines.
	Not even the mRNA stuff.
	But lying to them about the childhood vaccines, and of course the context of that comment, that second one, they've got to get the shots, that was when they were making it mandatory in California and in the Northeast to say, you're not going to have religious exemptions and you're not going to have medical exemptions.
	They were preparing everybody at that point in time, it was 2019, May 2019, they're preparing everybody for what they're going to do in about a year or two.
	Say, we're not going to give you any exemptions.
	For this experimental mRNA vaccine.
	Because we've already settled that.
	If we decide that a vaccine is a good thing for you, then there's going to be no exemptions for you religiously or medically.
	And what happens is these lies that some people call 4-D chess.
	Do this to people.
	because something that's been going on for over 40 years just hit me.
	I had a child that died of SIDS in 1984.
	For people that don't know what SIDS is, it's called Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, or Crib Death was another one.
	I've been saying this for 40 years, over 40 years.
	I don't understand this. He was just at the doctors two weeks before, got his shots, he had the perfect health, everything was great.
	And then last night, I watched, I'm even going to be watching this in 4K.
	G, the medical examiner?
	I can't say it now.
	Anyway, I watched her show, and she says, what's at rise right now is the sudden adult syndrome.
	Same thing as SIDS, but it's for adults.
	What happened lately that was forced upon people that they had to have...
	And all of a sudden, the rise of these adults dying for no reason is happening.
	And then it dawned on me that I poisoned my kid two weeks before with a vaccine that I was told was safe.
	What if that's the cause of sudden infant death syndrome and they've been lying to us all this time and they've been experimenting on our babies since 1984 and before and it's just come to light because we get more education now.
	We can get reached education.
	We're not just told whatever they want us to tell.
	We can look research online.
	What if that's the cause of SIDS? What if Me doing what I thought was good killed my baby.
	And it's just hitting me right now because I never put two and two together until now.
	Tell me what you guys think.
	Do you think I'm kind of off my rocker?
	No, I think you finally put it together.
	But see, we're not allowed to suspect Trump.
	He's off the record. Just like, you know, suspecting Biden as being a part of this shooting.
	Or suspecting Trump or anything.
	That is not to be allowed.
	Come on. We've got to be responsible.
	That's irresponsible. To think that a pharmaceutical company.
	To think that the FDA or the CDC could lie to you about something like that.
	To think that Trump could call influencers and say, Yeah, I've seen what happens to kids with some of these vaccines.
	We need to do something about that.
	And then he would tell people, Oh, you've got to get the shot.
	And then he would do even worse with the mRNA.
	Yeah, they lied to people. They lied to people.
	Just like they did a clinical trial for the RSV vaccine, the new RSV vaccine.
	Twelve kids died.
	They put it out anyway. Now we've got another two kids who died immediately after getting it.
	Even professionals are confused about how to report injuries related to the infant RSV shots.
	When people experience vaccine injuries, they can report them to the CDC using VAERS. And of course, we immediately, within a couple of weeks, wait a minute, we've had more reports of Trump shots injuring people than a year of all the other things combined.
	And it became five years and ten years and more than had been reported in the entire 35-year history.
	It is a passive surveillance system.
	It's available to anyone, including doctors, other vaccine administrators, and the public for reporting adverse events.
	The CDC also has other systems for monitoring vaccine safety.
	It monitors the Trump shots and the adult RSV vaccines through the V-safe system, which is a different voluntary reporting system.
	And most vaccines through the Vaccine Safety Data Link, which analyzes healthcare data, often investigating concerns initially raised in VAERS. And then, of course, there's DMEDS, which is the one that was done by the Department of Defense.
	They were very careful about that because the purpose of that database was to show them whether or not they were under some kind of a bioweapon attack.
	And so they monitor situations there very carefully.
	But then when you get the answer that you don't want, not that you don't want, but when you get the answer the system doesn't want, oh, they shut it down.
	They changed the data. Oh, we had five years' worth of data that were wrong, so we're going to go back and change that.
	However, according to internal emails obtained by Children's Health Defense, We're good to go.
	The FDA recommends those injuries be reported to MedWatch, the FDA's adverse event reporting system.
	That means that adverse events from all medical treatments on the immunization schedule are not monitored through the same system.
	This can generate confusion even amongst medical professionals who treat monoclonal antibodies as vaccines.
	It's been added to the childhood vaccine schedule, but it's not a vaccine.
	So what is it? And then, of course, you've got the insurance companies.
	Besides the fact that they've got all these different databases out there, there's a lot of obstacles to people being able to report it.
	They make it very time-consuming and difficult.
	It was frowned upon to report the Trump shot adverse effects and so forth.
	We have insurance companies, as we've now learned, We'll absolutely destroy your pediatric practice if you don't get a large percentage of your patients vaccinated.
	Then they will cut your payments.
	Just arbitrarily cut them.
	So, as Kennedy is talking to Trump about this, Trump again says, well, you know, we have this vaccine out there.
	It's like 38 different vaccines.
	You got a 10 or 20 pound baby, but it looks like this is something you'd give a horse.
	You know, it's just massive.
	Oh, that's nonsense.
	That's not what the issue is.
	And then you see the baby all of a sudden starting to change radically.
	I've seen it too many times.
	And then you hear that it doesn't have an impact, right?
	And so he's listening. Well, that's not exactly right.
	And I wonder if he's actually really seen any of this stuff.
	But yeah, he seems to understand that there's something that we should be concerned about with vaccines.
	They do have adverse effects.
	He seems to understand that they have adverse effects.
	But you and I talked about this a long time ago, and I imagine at that point, RFK Jr.'s got to be clicking off, saying, yeah, I remember when he played this game.
	Anyway, I would love you to do stuff.
	And I think it would be so good for you, and so big for you.
	He wants me to do stuff.
	It's going to be good and big for me.
	And we're going to win, and we're going to win, and we're way ahead of the guy.
	He called me and he said, how did you choose to move to the right?
	How were you so smart that you took the right side?
	You used to be over on the left with us, right?
	You were with the Clintons and you were with Epstein and all these other people.
	You know, it's kind of interesting. I saw this reported on WND, which has become another one of these conservative sites that is, I guess, for its own survival, or maybe just they don't know what's going on, but they have become absolute Trump sycophants about everything.
	And the headline was, is Trump admitting that his vaccine harmed other people?
	No, that's not what he's talking about here at all, if you listen to it.
	He's not talking about his vaccine.
	He's talking about childhood vaccines in general.
	Same stuff that he said, well, you've got to get the shot.
	No, no, you can't have any religious or medical exemptions.
	You've got to get those childhood vaccines.
	The same people, as I said before, J.D. Vance takes the standard Republican line.
	Well, a vaccine was a good thing.
	I got the vaccine, but I think it should be a choice.
	And then if you get it and you get injured, you got people like Laura Looney who says, well, that's on you.
	I didn't take it. I knew better than to take it.
	But the people who have been elected to office say, well, I took it.
	I thought it was a good thing to take it.
	Did they really? I don't know that I believe that.
	But maybe they got lucky.
	Nevertheless, they have absolutely no sympathy for anybody.
	And they say, oh, we didn't mandate it.
	Biden did it. The vaccines weren't bad.
	The mandates were bad.
	That's their approach. And so, you know, you've got to do it to win.
	Well, WND said, is he admitting that his vaccines are bad?
	And they actually put in the article this for you to take a poll.
	Is Trump in any way responsible for the deaths and injuries of Americans harmed by COVID shots that he promoted?
	Imagine that. Of course, these polls, they want to get your email so they can send you stuff.
	Choices are yes, no, or I'm not sure.
	And they don't show you the result of this and probably don't show it to you even if you give them your email.
	But can you believe that somebody would ask such an obvious question?
	Is Trump in any way responsible for the deaths and injuries of Americans harmed by COVID shots that he promoted?
	Is that an open question? Well, it apparently is for MAGA people, for WND. See, unlike the Republican politicians, there's a big disjoint, there's a big double-think for the MAGA people.
	They don't believe that these vaccines were okay.
	They're Republican leaders, the people that they build their life around, this Republican Party.
	And the man that they built their life around, Donald Trump, they're telling them that the vaccines were fine, they were actually a good thing, it's just a mandate that was bad.
	Well, the MAGA people don't believe that, but they are capable of double-think.
	So much so, that now it's a question that, you know, if they can believe that, I guess they can believe that Trump didn't have anything to do with it, even though he promoted it.
	He promoted it. Is he responsible?
	He promoted it. It's in your question.
	An evil, cynical manipulator.
	That's what he's always been.
	And that's why that phone call is very important.
	It shows what an evil, cynical, lying manipulator Trump is behind the scenes.
	Always there behind the scenes.
	Of course he supports abortion.
	He's a mass murderer and a depopulationist.
	Of course, he doesn't have any problem with the government doing gay marriage or whatever or supporting the LGBT agenda because he was supporting trans before anybody else was.
	He wanted to put them in his beauty contest and all the rest of this stuff.
	In response to the link, RFK Jr.
	wrote that when President Trump called, he was taping with an in-house videographer.
	I should have ordered the videographer to stop recording immediately.
	I'm mortified that this was posted.
	I apologize to the president, but his son put it out.
	And folks, don't be gullible about this.
	That is who Trump is.
	On Rumble, AP Rumble Seat said, yeah, the clever Iranians, I got another poor, probably autistic on the spectrum, MK'd kid, MKUltra, to go postal.
	How ingenious. Rumble, Moonhawk, if the remains, I'm sorry, if the Iranians were involved, I doubt they'd use a sniper.
	They'd probably blow the stage up.
	That's probably true.
	That'd be their MO. Yeah, here's the other thing, too, look.
	We've got a state actor that's out there.
	Look at what is happening in Ukraine, right?
	The drones, the explosive drones.
	Look what was demoed. I played this a couple of weeks ago.
	And it was talked about about four or five years ago.
	Using AI, artificial facial recognition, biometric recognition.
	And they put it in a political context because they were trying to get politicians to wake up and pay attention to this stuff.
	I said, you know, your face can be programmed into a drone that's got a shaped charge enough to blow your head off.
	And it'll follow you, and it can react pretty quickly with this.
	And you can't jam it because, you know, it doesn't work on a radio thing.
	It's already pre-programmed.
	That technology is now on the battlefield in Ukraine.
	When is it going to be coming for that?
	You think those Secret Service people are going to be able to stop something like this?
	Oh yeah, they're superpowers.
	That's the real issue.
	That's what's going to be happening with it.
	These people are going to be walking around some kind of a shielded bubble.
	To keep that type of thing from happening.
	But will it be enough?
	Who knows. On Rockfin, IRS machine gun.
	Thank you for the tip. I appreciate that.
	And on Rockfin, Jason Barker.
	Good to see you, Jason. He said, last time I was sick and went to get checked for COVID, as required by the jab resistor, they said COVID was not a thing anymore.
	And that RSV was the new monster.
	Now it makes sense, because they had an mRNA RSV shot in the works.
	That's right. And except, isn't it interesting, have you heard, haven't heard of anybody getting COVID, except the first gentleman, Lala's husband, got it?
	I think they were laying the groundwork to say that Biden got it.
	Because now, Joe says, well, I've got to cancel on these events because I've got COVID. How many times has Lala and her family been jabbed, according to them?
	I don't know if they've ever been given one shot.
	But according to them, they've had the shot and multiple boosters.
	According to Biden and his people, Biden has had the shot and multiple boosters, and yet they're still getting COVID? Or are they telling people that they got COVID so that he doesn't have to go to an event?
	And again, when we go to the presidential race, perhaps they have...
	Gotten to him to get him to drop out.
	You've got a lot of donors who've mutinied against him.
	There is a civil war going on in the Democrat Party.
	At the same time that he's made some moves to try to make himself more popular, he started talking about how he was going to come after the Supreme Court.
	That is a, you know, term limits, and we're going to have ethical issues and things like that, so we can get these conservatives off the court.
	That is red meat to his radical base, the occasional cortex people, AOC and other people like that.
	So that was set up, I think, to appeal to them.
	But then when this J-13 happened...
	I think it pretty much took all the wind out of the sails for that.
	And so you've got a movement that is building up in the background there.
	It's been rumored that Pelosi is masterminding this in the background, and good evidence of that with Adam Schiff.
	Coming out publicly yesterday and saying that Biden needs to step aside, Schiff is someone who has been pushed forward by Nancy Pelosi.
	So he's really speaking for her.
	She's not going to go public with that.
	We've seen indications that Obama and the people around him want to push Biden out.
	You've got a lot of donors who are putting pressure on him.
	And he changed his tune yesterday.
	He said, well, first he said, only God is going to get me out of this office.
	And I said, yeah, carry him out feet first because he's so ambitious.
	Other people were saying, well, maybe there's a way that we can work with the donors.
	To get him out. And maybe instead of blackmail and saying, we're not going to give you money, maybe they realize, as much as the Democrats always like to use bans and mandates to people and take money away, the Republicans typically like to bribe you, you know. And so maybe they figured, hey, we could bribe him to leave.
	You know if you give somebody a candidate who's running for office Can take the money that was donated to them if they've got anything left over after an election they can keep that and they can use it the next election and keep rolling that over and Then if they retire and there's anything left in those election funds they get to keep that It's like a golden parachute type of thing
	So they could very easily make a lot of donations to his reelection campaign Under the understanding that he's going to leave And he might be amenable To that type of thing. Well, who knows?
	they could also point out to him that he's committed a Lot of very well-known crimes that are real, you know You know, the $10 million tax stuff that may not just be Hunter.
	It might actually be that he's involved in this, that the big guy's involved in it.
	But of course, he was playing footsie for money, just like Bob Menendez, who just got convicted.
	He was doing that with Ukraine for a very long time.
	If Trump gets in, Trump would...
	Be very amenable to coming after Biden so they can make the case to him that and they've been making the case that anybody else polls higher than Trump.
	So if you take the money from us and you bow out, then there's a better chance that there'll be a Democrat there who will pardon you.
	Rather than Trump, who will prosecute you.
	So they may get him.
	I was under the impression that he was going to be one of these people like Dianne Feinstein or Darth Vader Ginsburg, who's going to stay there until they die because they love the power so much.
	And that was his first inclination.
	But we'll see. After this event here...
	Trump is so popular, maybe even his ego is going to face the truth.
	We're going to take a quick break, and Tony Arterman is going to join us.
	We'll be right back.
	Welcome.
	you you Defending the American Dream.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	All right, joining us now is Tony Arterman.
	It's always great to have Tony on.
	And he has Wise Wolf Gold, and he's kindly set up DavidKnight.gold.
	It'll take you to Wise Wolf.
	And you can get gold, silver, large or small transactions there.
	He's actually set up a buying group where you can get the purchasing power of being in a large group of over 1,000 people.
	I think it's the last time we talked, it was up to 1,200.
	But that helps you in terms of your purchasing power, and you can buy in...
	From low levels up to high levels, and just set aside money on a monthly basis to start building your position, and something that is outside the U.S. dollar that is being so manipulated.
	DavidKnight.Gold will take you to Tony Ardman's Wise Wolf Gold, and Tony is joining us now.
	There was an interesting article that happened on Saturday before this shooting saying gold was poised for a record high and bulls see even more of an upside.
	A lot of people have looked at this and said, well, is gold jumping up because of the shooting or is it jumping up because of inflation that people anticipate is going to happen when the Federal Reserve lowers interest rates?
	What do you think is happening with gold?
	We hit an all-time high yesterday, I think.
	Wasn't it yesterday that we hit the all-time high?
	Yes, we did. $2,480 per troy ounce for the yellow metal.
	And, David, we're a long way away from when I started Wise Wolf and gold was about $1,200 an ounce.
	I remember going on the radio and talking about, hey, they got this great reset coming.
	All the currencies are going to be revalued.
	We're seeing this clear.
	Can't you guys see this?
	Yeah. You talked about Wolfpack.
	Hey, if you've been a Wolfpack member for the last year or so, you're looking pretty good.
	Gold continues to break all expectations and outperform markets, and the reason is because the currencies are resetting.
	And when you want to ask, why is gold going up?
	Is it interest rates? Is it inflation?
	Is it global uncertainty?
	All the things. Yes.
	All the above.
	Inflation data just came out recently, and it's starting to show that since 2020, for the first time, it's slowing a bit.
	Well, I mean, it's the massive amount of currency debasement that goes on and has gone on.
	You and I talk about that every week.
	But it is interesting that gold continues to rise no matter what the data is, no matter what Jerome Powell says, whether they're going to raise rates, lower rates, and you and I speculate they're going to lower rates closer to the election, which I happen to agree with.
	Mm-hmm. But it doesn't really matter anymore because the macroeconomics, David, are what's driving the price of gold.
	The demand for jewelry, that's something.
	We talk about central bank demand.
	That's about 1,000 tons a year, and it has been for the last two or three years.
	That's probably going to go up this year.
	But jewelry demand is over 2,000 tons, and most of that jewelry is going to places like Asia and going to India.
	The reason being is because those cultures, like we talked about the Chinese with the gold beans, those cultures instinctively know because they haven't had the world's reserve currency like we have.
	We've been spoiled here in this country.
	We've got some normalcy bias built into our system.
	They've had currency problems for generations and so they know what real money is and that's what's happening around the world.
	You're seeing a massive demand that continues to go up and the analysts all over the teleprompter readers and the mainstream media, they have no idea what they're watching.
	Yeah. And, you know, when you're talking about the financial systems resetting, it isn't because of factors that they've lost control or because of incompetence.
	We're talking about this shooting thing.
	Is it incompetence? Is it malice?
	Well, this is malice, what is happening to it.
	And it's not just stupidity.
	It is a plan.
	And Biden told people in March of 2022 that Nobody paid any attention to it because that's when they had the kickoff of the Ukrainian thing.
	But, you know, they said we need to completely redesign the financial system.
	And he gave that to the Department of Treasury and some other departments within the executive branch, some of these bureaucracies.
	That's their design, is to completely redesign the financial system.
	And part of that is getting rid of the fiat currency so they can move people to a CBDC. That was part of the CBDC orders.
	How are they going to enforce it?
	How are they going to market it to people?
	But let's have a complete redesign of the financial system.
	So it's intentional, this takedown that is happening there.
	Trump is positioning himself...
	Not so much as anti-CBDC, but as pro-crypto.
	And a lot of people will imply that means that he's anti-CBDC. But he and JD Vance has got money in crypto, a lot of money in crypto.
	I don't know how much of his portfolio that is.
	It's a lot of money to me if you've got a couple million dollars in crypto.
	But he's there as an ally.
	And when these people saw that, I think that's a big part of this technocrat alliance that he's made.
	Big money coming from Silicon Valley supporting J.D. Vance and, of course, Trump.
	But I don't know that he's necessarily going to be anti-CVDC. That doesn't necessarily follow if he's going to be pro-crypto.
	People like Elizabeth Warren that J.D. Vance has done bills with is so pro-CBDC that she's very, very anti-crypto and they want to take crypto out of the way eventually, but they might allow these two things to run side by side.
	What is your take about that?
	We know that Jared Kushner was doing this in the Trump administration.
	What's your take on this? Can we trust Trump to do anything that he says?
	Well, let's not forget RFK Jr.
	You played earlier that conversation that was leaked.
	Let's not forget this is deja vu all over again because I remember the 2016 election and Trump was, you know, he had appointed RFK Jr.
	He's going to be head of a special commission.
	We're going to investigate vaccine injuries for children because of supposedly what happened to Barron.
	And then that went away.
	So, just because he's running on something, you know, there's trickle-down policy, and, you know, the policy comes from the bankers.
	Who knew, David?
	You know, you look at something, I love Bitcoin, by the way, and, you know, again, I don't know I can't say for a fact 100% that Bitcoin is what people say it is.
	I do know that it has been good to me, and I appreciate the decentralized system.
	But back in January, I remember I was driving back to Texas from Missouri.
	I did a stream on my show, and I just said, hey, just a random thought that occurred to me.
	They were about to launch the ETFs for Bitcoin.
	And, you know, they've been working on it for 10 years, and I thought, okay, so what changed?
	And all of a sudden you have Larry Fink from BlackRock came out and started supporting Bitcoin as a store of value, and it's legitimate.
	Now, these are the same people that, you know, like Jamie Dimon you mentioned earlier, you know, like Warren Buffett who said it was rat poison and it's only, you know, fuels criminality.
	So the policy really comes from places like BlackRock and it trickles down. BlackRock's put billions and billions into these ETFs It was the the biggest launch of any ETF in history Okay, and now other exchanges around the world Hong Kong and places like Australia, they're opening up ETFs for Bitcoin. So the demand is skyrocketing around the world So I have questions on what they what their designs on Bitcoin are
	And again, Larry Fink gives the policy.
	The Trump campaign picks it up.
	And by the way, they're way late.
	This is like the 11th hour that you're getting on board.
	So no, I don't trust that at all.
	As a matter of fact, I'll be in Nashville next week for the Bitcoin conference.
	Hopefully we can still do the show.
	But I was annoyed because Trump's going to speak there.
	It's going to be a MAGA rally instead of what I wanted to go there and network and hear some of the speakers who are actually really deep into the ecosystem of Bitcoin.
	Because as I said, I support that.
	I don't support every cryptocurrency.
	But it is interesting.
	You've got to stay very skeptical, these politicians, especially Trump.
	You look at his...
	I'm glad that he's pushing Bitcoin and have your keys and be decentralized and we should bring mining here.
	I agree with all of that.
	It's kind of like the conversation you had with Alex Jones before the election.
	What do we do? We applaud him when he does something good and we fight him and oppose him when he does something wrong.
	I'm kind of of that mind, but I do not trust it.
	You mentioned the 666 Fifth Avenue, Jared Kushner.
	That was his actual property address.
	Pushing the CBDC Look, the banksters, the people that actually rule this country, the financial elite, they want a CBDC, okay?
	And this just filters down into our politics.
	It's why, you know, you're talking about why are the glaring issues, like what happened to us in 2020?
	What happened to us in 2021?
	Look at all the data.
	Look at what's happened to people since Operation Warp Speed.
	All these things that were just this massive criminality, we're not talking about that.
	Well, there's a reason we're not talking about that.
	So you're really only allowed to talk about, and only the issues that come up are the approved issues.
	And so somehow we've got into this place where crypto is out front.
	I'm very skeptical of it.
	I still support a great deal of the crypto space.
	But I would think that just because...
	Trump is talking about Bitcoin, that he's not opposed to the CBDC. Yeah, yeah.
	Well, yeah, it doesn't necessarily follow.
	And as I was saying, J.D. Vance, he's got a pretty big stake in it that most people would think was big.
	But there's another J.D. that's been rumored to be a part of the Trump administration, and that's Jamie Dimon, or Dimon.
	I guess we could say that, you know, if Trump wins, the Treasury Department will become Dimon-possessed.
	But... This is a guy who, again, look at all the stuff that he's said about crypto.
	He's been as critical of crypto in the past as J.D. Vance has been of Trump.
	And when you look at these people, Demon has been on both sides of the crypto thing.
	J.D. Vance has been on both sides of Trump and a lot of other issues.
	And Trump is on both sides of every issue.
	I mean, nothing any of these guys say.
	It's for real there, but I think it's very concerning, the discussion about what a Trump cabinet would be.
	They say that he's going to leave Powell in place and put Jamie Demon in charge of the Treasury Department.
	That's insane. Wasn't it George W. Bush after Hurricane Katrina?
	Was it Michael Brown?
	He's like, you're doing a great job, Brownie, after Hurricane Katrina's head of FEMA. That's pretty much what Powell is now.
	You've presided over the total debasement of the U.S. dollar.
	80%, and we go to this number all the time, 80% of all the dollars ever created were created in the last 48 months.
	That's fact.
	So we have this massive currency debasement.
	And again, Powell has raised rates faster than any time in history, surpassing Paul Volcker.
	Now, we don't see the same interest rates in the teens, but they've got a real problem.
	As a matter of fact, the problem is not only the amount of currency that they've created, But it's the loss of money velocity around the world.
	You know, these countries are dumping the dollar at a rapid rate.
	BRICS, you know, I don't think BRICS is going to create its own currency, but what these countries are doing is they're unifying cross-border payments and getting out of the dollar system.
	We just lost the petrodollar.
	That was not headline news, David.
	It should have been. That's earth-shattering economically.
	50 years of US dollar policy in the petrodollar with the Saudis and they just abandoned it.
	And we did nothing.
	So you mentioned, how do you set the stage for a CBDC?
	Because let's not stop talking about that just because Trump's heading the polls and all this stuff, which is weird in and of itself.
	I'm going to talk about that on my show here coming up in the next hour.
	I just want to really get back to the fact that When we look at what needs to happen for them to usher in the CBDC, all those things are still happening.
	And they're going to need to collapse the current system.
	What is Build Back Better? Well, in order to build something back better, you have to destroy it first.
	And that is the whole concept, right?
	Order Abkao, right?
	The Helgelian dialectic.
	You just hang something out here in the extreme, and then we settle on something in the middle.
	And that's what they're doing. They're going to continue to do all the things, like losing the world's reserve currency status, losing the petrodollar.
	You know, the inflation that is of record inflation.
	Look at the people that are posting on social media how much groceries cost now.
	I mean, just the ticket price.
	The average person who has the same wages, the same people that we were called non-essential, all those businesses that they destroyed.
	Again, not talking about those things.
	But we go into a new spectrum of prices outpacing all earnings, And then they're going to bring in the central bank digital currency because there's going to be a problem with the current.
	They'll blame it on something else.
	But the calls are coming from inside the house.
	This is a planned, controlled demolition of the United States currency system.
	And you look at Bernstein, who works for Biden, his lead economic advisor, who on 60 Minutes didn't really actually know how currency was created.
	But he advocated, and we've talked about this before, he's advocated The United States should lose the king dollar status, which is insane.
	You know, again, what would that be to the average American?
	Yeah, they've deliberately engineered that to reset our financial system and to get rid of the dollar as the top of the financial system.
	And when David Stockman is looking at this, he said they're claiming that they've got inflation under control because it went down by 0.1%.
	He said they're saying that it's okay now, instead of having their goal of 2% annual inflation, to have 4% annual inflation.
	As he pointed out, according to the rule of 72, you take the interest rate and you divide it into 72 and you find out how many years it goes before it doubles.
	He said, so it's going to double in 18 years?
	Actually, you could say it's going to lose half of its purchasing power in 18 years.
	And if they go to the 2%, that means that their goal, their target was for the dollar to lose half of its purchasing price over 36 years.
	What kind of a retirement plan is that, where you've got your assets denominated in dollars, that they have decided that they're going to cause half of its value to go away over 36 years, or maybe half of its value is going to go away in just 18 years?
	I remember those poor people in Iraq when I went to the bank, and they were running out with boxes of Iraqi dinar with Saddam Hussein's picture on it, and they're not usable.
	Paper currencies, like the philosopher Voltaire said, all paper currency returns to its original state and value, which is zero.
	And we live inside a real lifetime experiment.
	Since 1971, Richard Nixon takes us off the gold standard, and every country followed suit.
	It became a free-floating fiat currency to follow the king dollar.
	And the average lifespan of a fiat currency is 26 years, so we've doubled it.
	So what's next?
	You talk about the value of how many angels can dance on the head of a pen or something like that.
	We give psychological value to the dollar.
	It is backed by nothing.
	And that system around the world, because of the debt, and the debt's another issue of what's driving the metals prices that the mainstream media doesn't talk about.
	And, you know, we've mentioned it here, but the staggering amount, the quadrillions, the unfunded liabilities, not just in the United States.
	I don't know if you knew this, David, but the debt-to-GDP ratio of France is 333%.
	Think about that.
	Think about that. Italy, I think, is 250%.
	The West, in general, since 1971, it's staggering amounts of debt.
	Consumer debt in the United States?
	Paul Volcker, who was head of the Fed in the 1970s, he was interviewed by Congress.
	They asked him, what do you see the biggest issues of what's changed in the U.S. economy?
	And is it strong?
	He's like, well, actually, we went from a production nation to a consumption nation, and the amount of debt that is racking up, it changes the nature.
	The very nature of our economy has changed.
	We used to... Wealth is producing things.
	When you become a net importer over net exporter...
	That's where your wealth goes.
	The trade deficits, like when there's a deficit, if you're racking up almost a week, we've had trillion dollar trade deficits.
	That money is transferred somewhere.
	That wealth is transferred. In our lifetime, it's transferred into places like China.
	Now, the issue with that, too, is that what we're watching as well is this massive move of gold out of the West and going eastward.
	Now, if you study history and where the gold goes, it's the golden rule.
	He who has the gold makes the rules.
	I didn't make that up. That's just history.
	I read a lot of history on gold.
	There's some fascinating things that go into that history.
	And you hear people that are Bitcoin maximalists say stuff like...
	Well, Bitcoin's going to demonetize gold.
	No, it's not.
	Bitcoin's great, but there's going to be a need for the precious metals pricing system as monetary metals, as industrial metals.
	It's going to be part of our story.
	I read a little bit of the Bible every morning, just a couple of pages, just to keep my mindset right there and learn.
	Almost every day I'm running into references to gold and silver.
	It's part of our story.
	And it's going to continue to be a part of that story.
	It's funny. I'll throw this out there.
	A lot of people, you kind of throw gold around and say, well, over time, over history, we've mined about 151,000 tons up until the 21st century.
	About 151,000 tons that ever was mined.
	As a matter of fact, there's more steel poured in one hour in this world than all the gold that's ever been mined throughout history.
	Wow, that's amazing.
	Isn't that amazing?
	But what's funny about all of that is if they did a lot, they've done a lot of searching and looking at records, it appears that only about 10% of all of that gold was lost.
	It's still around.
	It's still part, it's still in our reserve.
	It's still part of our economic ecosystem.
	It's very hard to obtain.
	Now, juxtapose that to the fiat currency system, which is just absolutely unlimited, ubiquitous, and every time they have a problem, let's stop acting like these people.
	People are geniuses.
	They just have a printing press.
	It's just like anything else, David.
	The elites play by different rules.
	And it's socialism for the rich and free enterprise for the poor and for the middle class and for the rest of us.
	And we don't have a printing press.
	So we need to stop acting like these people are geniuses.
	And they cannot... Defy the laws of nature, physics.
	They can't defy what has been set in motion.
	And literally you have trillions and trillions in the system devaluing the currency.
	And then you have all these emerging nations that are resetting the commodities market.
	We're asleep at the wheel here in the West.
	And I think in large part on purpose.
	When the shock hits the average person, they won't know anything.
	And it's our Buckminster Fuller said, people cannot get out of the way of what they don't see coming.
	That's right. And I think all of this stuff is, I've said it many times, Looney Tunes economics, where, you know, when the characters on Wile E. Coyote goes off the edge of the cliff, he can run for a while.
	Until he realizes that he can't.
	And then he gets straight down like a rock.
	And I think that's really what happens with the currencies and with the economy.
	They can create this illusion and that momentum can carry people for a while until they realize, wait a minute, there's nothing underneath this.
	And then you just drop like a rock.
	I think that's where we are.
	This year alone...
	Gold has soared nearly 20%.
	But that's not really the way to look at it, as you point out many times.
	What that is saying is that this year alone, the dollar has lost 20% of its value.
	Exactly. And it's not always that, but that's the big story.
	That's the big takeaway, is that you're not really seeing all-time highs of gold.
	And I don't think we're anywhere near proper evaluation based on the debasement.
	We've all known what happened since 2020.
	And I remember it broke its all-time high when I was hosting your show four years ago.
	And in August, and it broke its all-time.
	That's the first time it really surpassed into the low 2000s.
	And for a while, it stayed under 2000, and, you know, 1600 for a while, you know, in 2022.
	But we're just, this is, I think, a resetting of things.
	And we've seen the gold demand spike.
	We saw what happened after the sanctions on Russia, after the invasion of Ukraine, and these countries just moving away.
	There's a shift globally, David, of these central banks buying gold at a record clip, and the United States and the Federal Reserve are truly hamstrung because they cannot get in on that.
	I think what you're really watching, too, is the accumulation before the resets, the accumulation before there's some sort of international system You know, based on gold for cross-border payments, and it could be starting with the BRICS nations, but they're going to use gold.
	So the dollar is being supplanted by gold, you know, after all these years.
	They're just resetting it.
	The countries know it. The United States, though, cannot do that.
	They cannot go and start buying gold because it has an inverse...
	It's a reaction to and consequence for the dollar itself.
	When they start buying gold, if they become a net buyer, then the price of gold goes up, which hurts the dollar.
	And this is something that's been happening since the 1980s and 90s.
	They got really good at manipulating the price and keeping it suppressed and putting people in the markets, but those days are long gone.
	You know, it's kind of interesting, when we look at inflation, Jeffrey Tucker's got a piece, he talks about Weimar Republic, and the Weimar inflation revisited.
	And the thing that I thought was interesting about it, which I hadn't really thought about, that kind of rhymes with the times that we're in, he said the trigger for the catastrophic inflation that happened in the Weimar Republic was reparations.
	War reparations. And I thought, you know, when we talk about how they're deliberately trying to subvert the dollar, how they want to have a completely different financial system, how they don't want the dollar to be king, they don't want it to be the reserve status, and these are Americans.
	This isn't just the Russians that want it.
	You know, the Russians, interestingly enough, our government is on the same page with the Russians who don't want the...
	Neither our government nor the Russians want the dollar to be preeminent anymore.
	But... When you talk about reparations, maybe that's one of the reasons why they're talking so much about reparations, slavery reparations or whatever.
	Just another trigger to blow this whole thing up.
	What do you think? Well, it's interesting.
	You talk about reparations.
	I was reading an article that was about the Weimar Republic, what happened after World War I and the Treaty of Versailles, that Carthaginian peace that was placed on Germany.
	And of course, it sent them into hyperinflation.
	They couldn't pay the war debts, the reparations they had to pay, just massive amounts of debt.
	They were humiliated. And what happened?
	In that vacuum, there was created this space of power.
	Well, you get the rise of fascism.
	You get the rise of the Third Reich and the Nazi Party and Adolf Hitler.
	They filled that gap.
	The chaos that can ensue when you place pressure on economies like that, especially When, you know, you've got something that's struggling.
	Like, we're all struggling. I don't care.
	The United States, the economy's not healthy.
	You know, the prices that are built into the food, as we've discussed, to energy, to housing, the whole generation of, you know, Gen Z doesn't even think they can buy a house.
	They're probably right.
	Because what's happened is the inflation.
	People don't see it. They talk about raising the minimum wage or giving $15 or $20 an hour to fast food workers and Yeah, that sounds great on paper, but what happens when it continues to lose value?
	Are you going to reset it again?
	You know, if you look at, what's it, $1.25 minimum wage in the 1960s, 1964, well, you know, that's five silver quarters.
	Is that about $30 today?
	Mm-hmm. It's purchasing power, folks.
	It's not just the number on the currency.
	That's how you're measuring it.
	And it's like we denominate gold in dollars or Bitcoin in dollars.
	I think that 20 years from now, maybe even 10 years from now, it'll be less based off the dollar system and more just on their own.
	What are they worth? Translatable into goods, into commodities.
	And it's interesting. A lot of the commodities have stayed the same.
	It's just the currencies that against them are dying, you know, because they're losing purchasing power.
	As we discussed many times, it's like, you know, a new suit, you know, or a, you know, the price of crude oil or the price of land, or you could buy about the same amount of that with an ounce of gold that you could 100 years ago that you can today.
	It's the same. It's about the same.
	Within the margin of error, the same thing.
	Silver's kind of in that same realm, and it's been more heavily manipulated, I think, than gold.
	But it's about the same.
	Commodities usually pace with that.
	So that's why you see a lot of these countries around the world.
	Saudi Arabia is one of them.
	China is another, where they're just going for resources, mining operations, and really digging into that.
	That is their mission right now, is to secure resources.
	We're asleep at the wheel.
	And when you look at what has happened recently with Saudi Arabia, I think I talked about it with you, the fact that they put pressure on the U.S., the Biden administration, and all the G7 were going to confiscate all those Russian funds that they had frozen.
	And the Saudi says, no, you're not going to do that.
	And they threatened to pull their money out of the bond market in Europe.
	Just as they had, in past years, threatened to pull all of their bonds out of the U.S. if Obama was going to allow these investigations to go forward and pin 9-11 on them.
	And so, one way or the other, because if that was to happen, they would be found liable in lawsuits and they were going to lose it anyway.
	But they have that leverage.
	Actually, the petrodollar has actually turned into leverage for them against us.
	Right. That everybody backs off and says, okay, we're not going to do the sanctions against Russia.
	We're not going to steal their money and other things like that.
	They have that kind of leverage over Europe.
	They have that kind of leverage over us.
	And when they realize that our currencies are not worth anything, they're still going to pull that stuff out, and it's going to be catastrophic when that happens.
	Oh, absolutely. As Otto von Bismarck stated, there's no altruism between nations.
	The future won't be decided by votes and rhetoric.
	It'll be decided by blood and iron.
	And we're talking about the buildup of military power, hard power.
	Hard power, soft power, the combination.
	Where's the energy?
	Is the energy here?
	Is the energy in the way?
	It should be. I think America will be the only nation in history, hopefully there's historians in the future, but we look back that it was artificially declined.
	We all know there's a rise and fall of empires, but we've been artificially declined, and it's been accelerated.
	Since 1971, you know, the year that Nixon took us off the gold standards, the year that the World Economic Forum was born.
	Imagine that, you know, same year.
	And then you get all the subsequent timelines, the opening of China, the birth of the Trilateral Commission, the loss of trade surpluses in this country.
	Those things all go together.
	Absolutely, David.
	We're really watching.
	This is history.
	It's happening before us.
	This massive shift, the economic power shifting east, the gold shifting east, and of course the Saudis, they're going to go with the winner.
	They're not projecting global power, but they just became the extra S in BRICS. And, you know, it's about 24% of all the world's crude oil comes out of the Middle East.
	It's not... You would think it's more, you know, as much as we're so, you know, focused there, especially the neocons, we were always focused on the Middle East.
	But that's a huge...
	They still have huge leverage.
	The Saudis have huge leverage there.
	And I think, you know, this...
	The silence on what was done after the end of the petrodollar.
	The Chinese yuan, it's not necessarily the Chinese yuan is going to become the world's reserve currency.
	It's just that the dollar won't be anymore.
	There'll be all kinds of currencies used.
	And that's going to have massive effects on the purchasing power of the dollar.
	And those dollars will come home.
	Again, that's Triffin's dilemma.
	Yeah, when you're talking about an artificial takedown, I tell you, when you look at the energy industry, that's where you really see it.
	We've got so much oil and even more coal.
	I've shown the magazine many times in 1979, you had Time and Newsweek saying, we're going to be out of oil, we're going to be out of gas by the mid-1980s.
	Well, they were... Ludicrously wrong.
	But even at that point in time, they said, but we got 666 years, 666 years of coal there.
	So the first thing they got to get rid of is coal, because this is a controlled, engineered takedown.
	So you got more coal than anybody?
	Okay, we're going to say coal can't be used.
	And then they start shutting down the oil and the gas and the other things, because it is an artificial takedown.
	And if you can take down our energy, then you can make it so that we can't compete.
	That's even bigger than the slave wage leverage that China has over American manufacturing.
	You know, they're trying to price as currency manipulation, but it's also Piracy of intellectual property and it is slave wages that they pay their workers but now they got another component and that is this tremendous advantage and The cost of their energy because they're allowed to use coal they can have as many and as dirty of power plants as they want So this is an artificial takedown. You're absolutely right.
	Absolutely. Yeah I remember being nine years old, 1989, and my grandfather, Morris Arterburn, he had an eighth grade education.
	He was a Korean War vet.
	He drove a tractor at age six out in Whitesboro, Texas, picking cotton.
	And came from a poor family, but he built himself up, worked with my dad, and he built gas stations.
	And we're at his Texaco.
	And I remember I was going to school, so I was learning all about how this peak oil will run out of oil.
	There won't be any oil left.
	The sky is falling, and it's what they teach.
	I don't know if it was global cooling then or if they switched to global warming.
	I think it was the greenhouse effect.
	All that stuff. It's a catastrophe, and there won't be any oil in the future.
	And I remember asking my grandfather, and I'll never forget the look on his face.
	I kind of retain that same look now when I'm looking at the headlines on energy.
	I said, Pop, are we going to run out of oil?
	He was filling up his tank at his own Texaco, and he looked at me and just laughed, and he goes, no, son, we're not going to run out of oil.
	And he said, where do you get that?
	Where did you learn that? That's a CIA narrative.
	The peak oil came from the CIA, pushed by the mainstream media.
	They were pushing it everywhere.
	Even calling it fossil fuels.
	You know, that in and of itself, I don't believe it's fossil fuels.
	Fossil fuels. That's another thing, too.
	I remember there was a Wildcatter guy that was, I mean, he was older, a little bit older than my dad.
	I remember he used to go to the cigar bar in North Texas, and he went all over the world and drilled, and that's what he did.
	He was an expert. I mean, he was kind of an adventurer, almost like Indiana Jones-type figure, though, but he was really interesting, and he said, We're talking about Syria.
	This is 2012. And he goes, I'll tell you a little something that most people don't know.
	And he's talking about all the oil pipelines and what ran through Syria and all these connecting pipelines throughout the Middle East.
	He said, you know, there's holding companies that are owned by the CIA. He was telling me, he's like, it's just kind of an open secret in our industry.
	The CIA controls those pipelines.
	Yeah. Right?
	Well, look at what happened.
	You know, you've got these CIA figures like George H.W. Bush.
	They set him up in the oil business.
	And then you've got the guy, what's his name, Dewhurst?
	He's a lieutenant. David Dewhurst.
	Yeah, yeah, lieutenant governor there in Texas.
	He paid more for his office than any other politician had paid to run for office.
	And he paid out of his pocket because after he retired from the CIA, they set him up in the oil business.
	Kind of interesting, isn't it?
	You know, Zapata oil, that was George H.W. Bush.
	We were supposed to believe that he just came from nowhere and was appointed to be head of the CIA. But you had ships that were involved in the Bay of Pigs called Zapata and Barbara.
	Right. Well, don't forget, who backed LBJ? You know, what did that lead to?
	It was Brown and Root. Yeah.
	And the oil money out of Houston.
	I mean, you go back, and that's a fascinating history to learn about how they manipulated the 1948 election.
	We've never heard of Lyndon Johnson.
	Might not have heard of the Vietnam War in its totality the way we see it now if it had not been for...
	For Brown and Root and their backing of LBJ. Yeah, we've got so much in this country that's controlled by these big multinational corporations, and they are really hand-in-hand.
	That's why I'm always skeptical when somebody like Larry Fink comes out and backs Bitcoin.
	I wonder... I wonder if I'm in the wrong pew.
	Yeah, and so, you know, Trump, as he's enjoying this big burst of popularity, gives an interview to Bloomberg, and he's the one who talked about leaving Powell in there to let him finish out his term through May of 2026.
	Trump is the one who said that he would consider Jamie Demon, or Jamie Diamond, I think Demon's a better way to pronounce it, To serve as Secretary of the Department of Treasury.
	That stuff is coming from Trump for all the people who think that things are really going to change.
	The more they change, the more they stay the same, don't they?
	I mean, it just truly is amazing.
	I guess it's some original thinking.
	We just get tired of Goldman Sachs people.
	Is it an improvement to get Jamie Tiemann?
	No originality at all.
	It's so funny.
	The media talks about Project 2025 like that's a real thing, like the Heritage Show.
	The Heritage Foundation somehow grew teeth.
	It's so weird. I mean, they build it.
	This is so artificial, all this stuff that's built into the narrative.
	But, you know, that's a red herring.
	And you just push this over here and say, look at this crazy.
	They're going to do all this reform.
	Ladies and gentlemen, they are not.
	It doesn't really matter who's elected.
	What matters is really where you are, which decisions you can make on a local level, state level, county level, municipality level, pushing back against the federal government overreach and, of course, the policies that are going to emanate from there.
	I mean, this... We are in for, I think, a wild ride, David, because of who's going to inherit, you know, if Trump is reselected and he gets into the Oval Office again, the massive amount of damage that's been done, unprecedented damage and loss of standing in the world, loss of our production, loss of confidence.
	I mean, we're not the future, as I said.
	Whether it's psychological or not, all these commodities are moving eastward.
	That's where the power is. That's where the energy is.
	People know it. If you're staying ahead and looking into the economy and looking into global markets, nobody's talking about us.
	Not really. I mean, we're just a sideshow because we're not doing anything.
	And the companies aren't moving here.
	I'm all about tariffs.
	I don't know. Be very selective.
	I'm skeptical of all of it, David.
	And again, the future, unfortunately, whether it's Biden or Trump, the future doesn't look good for the economic health of the United States.
	No, I agree. Yeah, and when you look at these so-called free trade agreements, as Ron Paul said, if you want a free trade agreement, you don't need some thousands of pages of stuff defining who the winners and losers are.
	That's not free trade at all.
	It is managed trade in the It's just different.
	They're still picking the winners and losers.
	You know, going back a couple of weeks now, there was a question because I'd been, and it was put up by For Love of the Road, a question for you, Tony, because I've been talking about the Supreme Court case where they said, well, even if you haven't taken your money out, we're still going to tax it as if you had taken your money out.
	And they said, well, yeah, I think we'll let the IRS do that.
	We'll let that rule from Trump From Trump Stand.
	And so this question was, how would this type of approach affect precious metals and IRAs and things like that?
	Well, first of all, it's something that they would do gradually, because just like the income tax, they want to convince everybody that this is not for you.
	We're not going to tax you. Don't worry about it.
	We're going to raise the taxes on the rich guys who don't pay taxes, because they got lawyers instead of accountants.
	So, you know, they lobby the...
	They lobby Congress to get the kinds of tax deductions that they want so they don't have to pay taxes.
	They pay the politicians so they don't have to pay taxes.
	So the first thing is it would take a while for that to trickle out to people, but what are your thoughts about that?
	It's the wealth tax. I think they're doing this in the face of new technology and the cryptosphere in particular because of the rise of commodities like, I mean, you can call Bitcoin a commodity, I believe.
	It's a store of value. It's a store of energy, perhaps.
	Um, but when you get more and more of these cryptos that come on the market, especially if they're gold backed, the price of gold goes up.
	You don't have to cash out.
	That's your currency, right?
	So if your currency is Bitcoin, you know, I can, I can take my Bitcoin and I can go buy something.
	I mean, a lot of people will trade in it.
	Same thing with gold and silver.
	If you have something that is stored somewhere.
	Uh, in something virtual, or if you've got a, an actual gold and silver backed IRA, uh, they're not doing it yet, but there's something you need to be aware of is like there's, there will be, there will place a wealth tax on, especially things that are related to currency, the good news about the IRAs and things.
	I mean, most of them are tax shelters from what I can understand.
	Not an expert.
	Don't take my advice on any kind of investments for that.
	I do the IRAs for 401ks and, uh, you know, rollovers IRA rollovers.
	We take you out of paper, put you into physical.
	There's a lot of things.
	This was, this came out in 1974.
	There's a lot of things built into those that protect you.
	So I don't know that they'll be able to do anything particularly in that sector, but when it comes to holdings, a bank account, stocks, things like that, yes, you've got to be very, very careful, and especially when the rise of cryptos is, I think, what's pushing that, where they're trying to anticipate you having a transferable Monetary technology along with a rise in value.
	See, if you have an off-ramp, like Bitcoin right now, if nobody took Bitcoin, well, you have to take your Bitcoin out, especially if you're doing an ETF, you have to take your Bitcoin out, cash it out, turn it into fiat, and that goes to the traditional banking system.
	But if I want to send David Knight some Bitcoin, I can just get his wallet.
	It's done right now. There's no bank there.
	So I think that's what's the anticipation.
	They see the rise of this technology, and it's...
	And it is moving forward.
	I mean, it's a mixed bag, and we have to be, I think, very cautious and skeptical and hold people accountable to continue to have the decentralization part of the cryptocurrency.
	But I think that's what this is about.
	Yeah, you're talking about the off-ramps and things like that, and there still is an off-ramp there, but there still is visibility as well, if they can identify your wallet.
	And they're coming after crypto using the Securities and Exchange Commission, and so that's part of the fight.
	know should they get that away from the SEC they've tried to you know they've been bringing that in having you know know your customer rules through the banks and that type of stuff but they treat it as a security still and so you know if you got a wallet and you're able to transfer this stuff and if they depending on whether or not they can see what is going on with that wallet but if you got something that is physical like that to me the gold is going to be very desirable in a black market type of economy and I think that's ultimately
	going to be what's gonna have to happen because I don't think we're gonna be able to stop the central bank digital currency with political means I think we're gonna have to go around it and so you know I talked to sheriff David Hathaway who has worked in foreign countries and he said you know every other country that he's worked with and that he's worked in in Central and South America. They always had a very vibrant black market economy.
	He said Americans don't think like that, but they'll catch on pretty quickly when everything else gets shut down, I think.
	Absolutely. History is our guide.
	It happens pretty quickly. People start to look around and try to find value.
	I was reading that article on the Weimar Republic.
	I mean, they were trading all sorts of things in the face of hyperinflation.
	I mean, it came down to they were using pianos.
	That's even harder to transfer than gold is.
	Heavier than gold is, isn't it?
	I mean, there's anything that was any kind of...
	It was a hard asset or a value of something.
	I mean, it's been crazy.
	Somebody was able to buy a hotel with one $20 American gold piece because of their price of their currency based off of juxtaposed to gold.
	So... I think people would catch on very quickly.
	And that's what I'm glad, you know, your listeners are paying attention and there's so much participation in Wolfpack, which I really appreciate.
	The more people to join, the better deals I can get everyone.
	But that's something we're providing, just making sure, like, hey, if you want to, you know, Again, if you've got $50, you want to start Wolfpack, go to davidknight.gold.
	We start looking at metals that you could use.
	I don't just put one thing in there.
	We try to make it diversified so you get to smaller pieces of silver.
	I even started finding gold, not gold, but we have gold grams, but we have silver gram bars, just grams of silver, especially as we've seen silver break $30 an ounce.
	These are neat things to have, and we're able to get a pretty good discount on those as opposed to the pricing on some of the majors.
	So go check us out over there.
	That's a way to, you know, this is something that I set up in my mind, you know, what I was doing for myself.
	You know, every Wolfpack invoice is like I would buy for me, you know, and then something that I put into my own holdings because you're absolutely right.
	Counterparty risk. Is, you know, being inside the system.
	Lack of counterparty risk is you holding your own coins, your own gold, your own silver.
	And we've talked about Bitcoin, but really focusing on the gold and silver in the physical world.
	And that's a recognizable money, has been money throughout history, and will continue to be.
	Yeah, that's right. And, you know, I look at gold.
	Somebody said it's wealth insurance instead of health insurance.
	And it's having it outside of this digital system, which I think has already got a lot of vulnerabilities in it.
	It's going to have more as quantum computing comes online, as cyber attacks become more and more.
	I think, you know, the physical thing is, for me personally, very, very appealing.
	Anything you want to tell people about what's happening at Wise Wolf Gold in particular?
	Well, this is a crazy time.
	I'll give people some inside info.
	It has been slower on the gold purchases.
	It's been slower in general in a lot of ways.
	I think people are just kind of shocked at what's happening with the price of metals.
	So I understand it's a hard time for people to get involved in the market.
	But if you are interested, if you want to look at rolling over something, if you have a...
	In the paper markets, you make it very easy.
	You just go to davidknight.gold and Most likely you're going to be dealing directly with me.
	I call people. I give them my cell phone number.
	So if you've got needs, you want me to take care of your precious metals, whether it's buying or selling, we'll take good care of you.
	We know it's a crazy market out there, but we definitely will try to save people money.
	I get so many calls of what happens to people calling these big 1-800 numbers you see on TV. Nothing wrong with them, but a lot of times...
	Normal people are just not treated all that well.
	That's right. They're going to assess how much you know.
	And I don't do that.
	I'm going to walk you through. I'm very passionate about it.
	This is my calling.
	So if you've got something that you have any questions on precious metals, go to davidknight.gold.

	And so we really do appreciate that, Tony.
	Thank you. And you've got a program that is coming up immediately following this one.
	Tell people where they can find it on Twitter and elsewhere.
	You can go to Twitter.
	It's at Tony Arterburn.
	I'll be streaming live there and the America Unplugged channel on Rockfin.
	It's with the Arterburn radio transmission right at an hour.
	And we'll see what we can drum.
	We'll have some fun. It'll be a continuation of this conversation.
	So go join us over there. Sounds great.
	Well, thank you very much again.
	We appreciate your support of this program.
	And a big part of the support of this program comes from Tony.
	So... We're going to take a quick break, and we'll be right back, and we're going to talk a little bit about the CIA. So, stay with us.
	♪♪♪
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Well, I said we're going to talk about the CIA.
	Let's talk about the CIA.
	And, of course, Jeffrey Epstein.
	CIA, Mossad.
	Steve Bannon reportedly recorded hours of video footage with Jeffrey Epstein.
	Multiple articles have come out about this now, today, last 24 hours.
	And he gave notorious sex trafficker PR advice.
	That's the headline from the New York Post.
	And it's kind of interesting because just like Epstein's other long-term friend, Trump, Bannon had close ties to him.
	It is kind of interesting, isn't it?
	All the people that are surrounding Jeffrey Epstein.
	Again, Alex Azar was a prosecutor who got him a sweetheart deal, made sure that he had a jail sentence.
	It was kind of like Otis the Town Drunk from Mayberry, where he kind of let himself in to sleep at night, and then he was free to go around during the day to do whatever he wanted to do during the day.
	And then, not Alex Azar, Alex Acosta.
	I get them mixed up. Alex Azar was the big pharma guy that Trump put in after he got millions of dollars.
	From the pharmaceutical industry using RFK Jr.
	And then he had Alex Acosta who had been the prosecutor for Jeffrey Epstein.
	He put him in the Department of Labor.
	Ken Starr who had basically given a pass to all the crimes, sexual and financial of Bill Clinton.
	Alan Dershowitz, big ally of Trump.
	And so you've got all these people surrounding Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.
	A long-term, very close friendship between Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.
	A couple of party animals together who had a falling out over who was going to buy a very expensive house in West Palm Beach.
	But it turns out that Steve Bannon got involved in an effort to try to rebuild the image of Jeffrey Epstein.
	Bannon, former advisor to Trump, apparently recorded over 15 hours of footage of an interview with Jeffrey Epstein.
	The footage that Bannon claimed was for a documentary that he would call Monsters.
	Epstein's life among the global elite.
	It was to be released under Bannon's Victory Films.
	However, that movie never came to fruition.
	And those who reportedly knew about the footage found the claim to be dubious.
	Another explanation given was that Bannon was helping Epstein improve his public image.
	And that explanation was given by Epstein's brother.
	To help him improve his public image, his allegations of sex trafficking became louder and louder.
	The interview video was recorded in the months leading up to Epstein's arrest in July 2019.
	And so it looks like this was an effort to try to get him back in the good graces of the public.
	And yet, because he had all these PR issues and everything, wouldn't it have made sense...
	As people did see him as a monster, wouldn't it have made sense for Bannon to jump in on that, if that was what it was?
	So we have two different narratives.
	One of them was that he was documenting what a monster...
	This sex trafficker and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was.
	Seems like if that was your angle, that would have been the perfect time to release that movie.
	But if you were trying to do footage to help him to figure out how he's going to manage the PR disaster, seems like you probably wouldn't release that footage.
	The footage remains under wraps.
	It's not resurfaced anywhere.
	Not in the criminal trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, who was convicted of assisting Epstein's sex trafficking.
	Not in numerous civil lawsuits from his victims.
	According to the article, Bannon became friendly with Epstein in 2017 after Bannon stopped working at the White House.
	For Trump, when the walls started closing out on Epstein's seedy sex trafficking activities, Bannon reportedly came to the rescue.
	Epstein's brother, Mark Epstein, described the nature of their relationship.
	Mark Epstein, Jeffrey Epstein's brother, said Bannon was trying to help his brother, quote, rehabilitate his reputation, unquote, after the Miami Herald in 2018 published a series of articles.
	Think about that. We've got Ken Sar trying to help him stay out of jail.
	Alan Dershowitz trying to help him stay out of jail.
	Steve Bannon trying to help him fix his image.
	All these people in and around the inner circle of Trump.
	After the Miami Herald and, of course, the prosecutor trying to help him stay out of jail most of the day.
	And then he becomes an appointment for Trump.
	After the Miami Herald in 2018 published a series of articles, which ultimately led to an indictment by federal prosecutors in Manhattan about his sexual abuse of girls in Palm Beach, that was when Bannon came in to, quote, rehabilitate his reputation, unquote, according to Mark Epstein, brother of Jeffrey.
	Mark Epstein told Business Insider that his brother had sent him footage of some of the interviews that Bannon did with him.
	In that interview, Mark Epstein told Business Insider last year, quote, Jeffrey said that he stopped hanging out with Trump when he realized Trump was a crook.
	Yeah, okay, well...
	Again, I think it was over the Palm Beach mansion that they fought about.
	And it was kind of interesting in the aftermath of that fight over the mansion that some anonymous call came in talking about Jeffrey Epstein.
	And that kind of kicked it off.
	The Miami Herald also reported that Epstein lost his Mar-a-Lago membership.
	They said it was because he had harassed another member's daughter.
	And yet, I don't have it in the deck today, but the picture that I showed you the other week of Epstein and Trump sitting on a couch with a couple of young girls flanking them, very, very young girls, having a good time.
	He told me that he had like 16 hours of videotaping with Jeffrey in his vault, said Mark Epstein, talking about Bannon.
	He asked Bannon about the footage after his brother's death.
	He said Bannon wouldn't tell him anything other than he had about 16 hours of videotaping.
	And he told me that it was protected because it was witness preparation.
	And it was protected under attorney-client privilege.
	He said, but the thing is, Bannon's not an attorney.
	Yeah, you know, Bannon said, just before he went to jail, they said, you know, why did you do this?
	He said, well, it was under advice of my attorney.
	I got bad advice from the attorney.
	So, you know, Bannon is not an attorney.
	He doesn't really understand, I guess, even that he could take the 5th if he had actually gone to the January 6th commission.
	No, he wanted to make a big display of that.
	And the thing that I find kind of interesting about this...
	that when you look at the way he attached himself to Jeffrey Epstein, how many people do you know or know of who have constantly ingratiated themselves with some of the most corrupt billionaires out there? And I'm talking about Guo, his BFF, this Chinese guy, this guy who was one of the wealthiest people
	in China because he was in the Chinese Communist Party until there was a political move that pushed him out and started to come after him. So then he supposedly came to America to oppose the Chinese government.
	He's just been convicted of fraud as well. We'll talk about that in a moment. But you know, Steve Bannon, who used to work for Goldman Sachs and then worked for, attached himself to Trump during the campaign.
	After he leaves the White House, he attaches himself to Jeffrey Epstein.
	Then he leaves Jeffrey Epstein.
	He goes to Guo, who has just been convicted of fraud.
	Bannon himself convicted of fraud along with three other people for the we build the wall thing.
	And he will still be facing charges for that.
	He was found guilty.
	With federal charges and Trump pardoned him for that.
	But New York is coming after him for defrauding people who are citizens of New York.
	And of course, there's nothing that Trump can do to protect him from that because those are state charges.
	So it is kind of interesting to see all of this stuff.
	We talk about insider trading as we began the program.
	This is the ultimate insider trade, isn't it?
	Attaching yourself to a lot of corrupt billionaires, one of them after the other.
	Mark Epstein said he inquired about the footage, like I said, and was told he had 16 hours, but it wasn't going to be released.
	It was protected. With attorney-client privilege, but he's not an attorney.
	In a post on Twitter, after the story was published, they also brought up a past comment by Megyn Kelly, who said on her podcast in January, We're not done with Jeffrey Epstein.
	I can tell you that for a fact.
	I can't tell you how I know, but I can tell you for a fact that we're going to hear a lot more about Jeffrey Epstein in the coming year, and you may even be hearing from him directly.
	More on that than I'm allowed to tell you, and of course that was back then before his reported death, referred to the comment as weird and said he wondered out loud if she was referring to Bannon's recordings.
	Earlier this year, Megyn Kelly said we may soon hear directly from Jeffrey Epstein.
	So that's after his death that she is saying that.
	Meaning, perhaps, the recordings.
	But, of course, she is another one of these people who will say anything for audience.
	Just absolutely amazing to see how she's transformed herself.
	For the MAGA group.
	Transformed herself politically.
	Talk about a shape-shifting chameleon.
	Talk about somebody who has deliberately adopted a potty mouth to make herself sound, to build up her street creds.
	I mean, it's just, it is disgusting.
	Alexandra Prieta, spokesperson for Bannon, told Business Insider back in December of 2021 that the documentary about Epstein will be screened probably around Labor Day.
	That would be coming up just a few months after that, so eight or nine months.
	The date came and went, and she has not responded to follow-up queries for two years since, including a request for comment that was sent on Tuesday.
	Bannon first publicly claimed the footage was for a documentary in September 2021.
	More than two years after Epstein's death, he told the Daily Mail in a statement at the time that the footage was part of a, quote, planned 50 hours.
	I've open-ended, no-holes-barred interviews with Epstein for an 8-10 hour expose on his deep relationships with the global elites in finance, science, education, medicine, politics, and culture.
	Are you starting to see, I hope a picture is starting to emerge of who Bannon really is for you, because it's very important.
	He's become a very, very big influencer of the MAGA people.
	And he is somebody who will...
	Weave tales and attach himself to some of the richest, the most fraudulent people around.
	And, of course, he will push these kinds of fraudulent narratives on other people to make money, just like Guo has been convicted.
	Just like he was convicted of with We Build the Wall and the other people with him.
	But... So he says he was going to do an 8-10 hour expose on Jeffrey Epstein.
	He's just making this stuff up, folks.
	He's just like Alex.
	He's just making this stuff up.
	His brother says it was about PR. His brother said it was to help him to figure out how he's going to reinvent himself.
	I think Bannon is reinventing himself as well.
	Mark Epstein said his brother told him that Bannon recorded the video to help prepare him for testimony.
	At the time, he was facing civil lawsuits from accusers that could have led to depositions.
	He said, I have also tried to reach Bannon a couple of times since our meeting, and I get no response, he said in an email this week.
	Bannon's time in Epstein's orbit was recounted in his book, Too Famous.
	Not his book, but it was a book by Michael Wolff in October 2021.
	It heavily relied on Bannon as a source for his books about Trump's White House.
	In a section titled Monster, Wolff wrote that Bannon sought to change the public perception of Epstein.
	Like I said, if he was going to do a documentary to show what a monster Epstein, the sex trafficker and pedophile, was, an intelligence agent, If he was going to show what a monster Epstein was, that would have been the perfect time for him to do it.
	But if he was there as a PR to try to recover his image, I think the project was abandoned because it was kind of obvious that there wasn't much that he could do at that point in time.
	Bannon believed Epstein needed a public-facing communications strategy in response to Julie K. Brown's perversion of justice series in the Miami Herald.
	Bannon reported Alexander Acosta, who as a U.S. attorney in Florida in the 2000s oversaw the criminal investigation into Epstein and arranged the light plea deal, even though law enforcement agents were aware that Epstein had abused dozens of girls underage.
	Bye.
	Acosta resigned from his position as Labor Secretary in the Trump administration following the publication of the series in the Miami Herald.
	Wolf's book says that in a March 2019 conference call, Bannon, Epstein, and former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak And Epstein's defense attorney, Reed Weingarten, discussed whether Epstein should be given a primetime TV interview.
	Now, of course, when we start looking at the Israeli prime minister, and you understand that Robert Maxwell, the father of Ghislaine, was heavily involved with the Mossad.
	He was honored by the Mossad and so forth.
	That is a big part of it.
	This is all a honey trap to set people up with blackmailable offenses.
	Amongst other things.
	I'm sure that in this darkness they took personal delight in this stuff as well.
	Reed Weingarten discussed whether Epstein should give a primetime TV interview.
	They floated the idea of going on CBS's 60 Minutes.
	Or an interview with Rachel Maddow or Gayle King, said Wolfe.
	At one point Wolfe wrote, Epstein made the gesture of the noose above his head...
	To express his distaste at the idea of being interviewed by Gayle King.
	According to the book, Bannon said that recording videos would help Epstein prepare for an interview that would convince the world that he's, quote, not a monster.
	He's got to sit there, he says, and watch the tape all the time.
	That's how you learn.
	So, in other words, some of the reports about people who have seen some of the clips said, you know, Bannon asked him real pointed, direct, harsh questions.
	And the purpose of that, apparently, was to show him how, you know, to do that, get his reaction, prepare him so that Epstein could see how he had reacted when he was hit with a very harsh question.
	This is the way they prepare for debates as well.
	The way they prepare political candidates.
	And that's what he's very good at.
	This is like preparing for deposition or political debate, except it's for the court of public opinion.
	Wolf's book includes long excerpts of conversations between Epstein and Bannon, as well as descriptions of Epstein's activities during the time he was close with Bannon.
	But the book by Wolf does not disclose where Wolf viewed Bannon's footage.
	Bannon said he also believed that Epstein was an intelligence asset, though it doesn't describe any evidence that he offered to support the claim.
	Yeah, no proof of that, right?
	Yeah, Robert Maxwell's connections with the Israeli government, no proof of that.
	Bannon, who was the chairman of Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, believed that Epstein knew, quote, dangerous secrets about Trump, unquote, said Wolf.
	Now listen to this quote.
	According to Wolf's book, Bannon told Epstein, quote, you were the only person I was afraid of during the campaign.
	Because remember, for many years, Trump and Epstein were very, very close.
	Trump was not doing research for a book.
	Trump was not filming a movie.
	Trump was not trying to get intelligence to blackmail.
	I think Trump was there as a party person.
	On Rumble, Audi, Modern Retro Radio says, Ghislaine Maxwell's father was a frequent visitor to Mother Teresa's orphanages.
	Mother Teresa was not the saint that she is purported to be.
	Well, that's something that I don't know about.
	But we do know what is happening with these...
	With these issues. And when we look at the way Bannon has attached himself, again, to pedophiles, crooks, criminals, spies, the Chinese Communist Party connected guy, Guo, again, he has just been convicted of massive fraud.
	He's found guilty.
	The amount involved is a billion dollars.
	Guo lavished the cash that he milked people of on a $37 million yacht.
	By the way, that was the yacht that they arrested Bannon on when they arrested him for this We Build the Wall fraud.
	He also had a mansion. He had a Lamborghini.
	He had a custom Bugatti.
	Guo, whose criticism of the Chinese party won him legions of online followers and powerful friends in the American conservative movement.
	See, this is the thing. These guys have fleeced conservatives.
	These crooks, these criminals.
	That's what Bannon has specialized in.
	So he was convicted by a U.S. jury Tuesday of engaging in massive multi-year fraud that ripped off some of his most devoted fans.
	in China, Guo swindled the cash by guaranteeing investors on social media that they would not lose money if they joined him in a series of cryptocurrency schemes from 2018 to 2023. He promised them that some of the cash would go towards challenging China's government, but in fact the one-time real estate mogul spent the money on luxury goods including a 50,000 square foot New
	Jersey mansion.
	50,000 square feet.
	A red Lamborghini and a $37 million yacht, said prosecutors.
	A massive yacht.
	He also splurged on a $1.1 million tortoise shell jewelry box and some candlesticks.
	A million dollar chandelier.
	Remember this one.
	$36,000 mattresses.
	Boy, those must be really special.
	It's like those $100,000 Rolex watches.
	They must tell really good time.
	These must be really comfortable mattresses.
	Maybe they talk and vibrate you around and all this other kind of stuff.
	Maybe you don't even have to put a coin in there for that kind of vibrating mattress.
	A $40,000 coffee table.
	A $250,000 Persian rug.
	Guo is also known as Miles Kwok.
	He was convicted on Tuesday on nine of the 12 criminal counts that he faced, including racketeering, conspiracy, wire fraud, and a trial that lasted seven weeks.
	So again, you know, when you stop and think about this, how many people do you know that are billion-dollar conmen and monsters?
	How many people do you know that are pedophiles?
	Well, Trump knows quite a few.
	How many people do you know that are pedophiles and con men?
	Well, Bannon knows quite a few.
	And I would just say, how many people do you know of that are like that?
	Not just that you know personally.
	How many CIA agents do you know?
	How many CIA agents are there in your family?
	When you look at people like Bannon, people like Alex Jones, they've got CIA people all over the place, all over the place, and Alex's family, he talks about it publicly, and Bannon, when he has...
	One of the interesting things about Bannon, which was covered...
	And left-wing anti-Trump media, but it's not been covered in conservative media for some reason, I guess, you know, because it kind of burst the MAGA bubble if they did.
	But just before the election, he was telling Chinese investors, followers, people that were being fleeced, By this Guo character, Bannon was holding court and telling them how they were going to play the election, saying, well, you know, it's going to look like Trump has won.
	We're going to claim that he won one way or the other.
	This is what he told people just a couple of weeks before the 2020 election.
	And what Trump's going to do is declare victory, right?
	He's going to declare victory. But that doesn't mean he's a winner.
	He's just going to say he's a winner.
	More of our people vote early, they count.
	Theirs voted mail.
	And so they're gonna have a natural disadvantage and Trump's gonna take advantage of it.
	That's our strategy.
	He's gonna claim himself a winner.
	So when you wake up Wednesday morning, it's gonna be a firestorm.
	We're gonna have the Tifa crazy, the media crazy, the courts are crazy, and Trump's gonna be sitting there mocking, tweeting shit out, you lose.
	All right, I'm the winner.
	I'm the king. And he'll be all over.
	He'll be going, where's Hunter?
	Is Hunter on a crackpot? Yeah, again, I was wrong.
	That was October 31st, even closer to the election.
	And that's what he was talking to Guo's followers.
	It was a group of Chinese people.
	So we got this under control.
	Oh, don't worry. Keep giving some money to Guo.
	Trump's got this under control.
	He's going to just say, hey, get out of here.
	We won. It was planned.
	Thousands of Guo's online followers were victimized so that Guo could live a life of excess.
	And this kind of rolls out to the same people who are working with him.
	Mr. Guo didn't care about the money, said a defense attorney.
	He just cared about the movement.
	It was all altruism.
	You know, the $36,000 mattress, the luxury cars, that was altruism.
	That wasn't a scam at all.
	This is the genuine thing.
	This guy is sacrificing himself.
	But the prosecutor said, and at least one of the reasons that he loved it was because it was his personal piggy bank.
	We were able to also get things like a Lamborghini, a Vintador.
	He also got a custom-built Bugatti Veyron.
	I mean, it's not enough to get one of the most expensive cars out there, Bugatti Veyron.
	But his was custom-built.
	Worth $4.4 million.
	It's now been seized by authorities.
	You know, when you go back and you look at the way these things operate, I've mentioned many times the trust.
	It was run by Felix Derzhinsky, head of Russian intelligence with the Bolsheviks.
	At the time, Lenin's thugs, the intelligence group and everything, they were called the Cheka.
	And so they decided that because they needed to shut down The opposition to the Bolsheviks, people who had escaped from Russia after they lost, but they were outside and they were going to be plotting to come back in and take over the Russian government.
	The Russian government was in a very weak position at that time.
	Felix Dzerzhinsky decided that he would set up the trust and they would fund groups in other countries, in England, the U.S., other places, that would present themselves as anti-Bolshevik.
	And it would draw in the people they would be able to, A, learn who their enemies were, but they'd also be able to fleece these people as well.
	And they actually lured several of them back into Russia and captured them.
	The guy that was the model for James Bond, for Ian Fleming.
	You know, Ian Fleming actually worked in British intelligence for a while.
	The guy that he modeled James Bond after, who had been an amazing spy, he was able in World War I to, he spoke multiple languages fluently, he was able to infiltrate and pretend that he was one of the German high staff during World War I and get in on some of their meetings.
	But if you look at his story, a lot of it was put together by British Ambassador Lockhart.
	His story is very famous in Russia because they landed an expeditionary force that...
	It was kind of a Bay of Pigs disaster.
	They put this thing in.
	They didn't support it. It was this unsupported invasion.
	Most of the people got captured.
	It was at a place called Archangel.
	And that Lockhart affair, they arrested the British ambassador.
	He gets out. He wrote a book about it.
	That became the basis for a very interesting, if you've never seen it, It had Sam Neill.
	You may remember him from Jurassic Park.
	But it had Sam Neill as that spy.
	And it tells a very interesting story about the early part of the Early part of the 20th century where the British were trying to get control of oil fields When they set up British Petroleum where he went out and you know made connections in in Arabic areas, you know Lawrence of Arabia's tells some of that story as well But in this particular one he was involved in that he was involved as I said in World War one
	he also was involved with the Military industrial complex at the time Vickers was a big defense contractor that the British had And he would be involved in arms competitions with the Germans and espionage to steal their plans and to be able to copy their stuff.
	So this is a guy who was a real slippery, very intelligent character.
	And he got drawn in by the trust.
	And was captured, tortured, and killed.
	The guy that was the model for James Bond.
	So this type of thing has been around for a long time.
	You know, there's another story that I had not come across.
	There was about 100 years, a little bit more than 100 years earlier, the Cato Street Conspiracy.
	And it was a similar thing.
	They do this type of thing all the time.
	The Cato Street Conspiracy was really more like some of these FBI entrapments.
	And it was a story that was very near and dear to actor Robert Shaw, who you probably remember him from Jaws.
	He was a salty old sailor from Jaws.
	But he was a real hardcore socialist communist.
	And the Cato Street conspiracy was a way that the British government in the very early 1800s, you know, everybody was kind of wondering if England was going to have a revolution like France had, a socialist revolution.
	And so they're very concerned about it.
	And they actually did the same type of stuff that the Bolsheviks did a century later.
	Same kind of stuff that the FBI is doing all the time.
	You know, creating some Potemkin organization, like a Potemkin village, to lure people in and entrap them. In this particular case, they, in the Cato Street conspiracy, these are people who were, they didn't call themselves communists at the time, but they were kind of like Jacobins.
	And they wanted to kill all of the British cabinet all at once.
	And so they had infiltrated this, but they'd also kind of run it, and they said, well, how do we get all these people at once?
	Well, they put out a thing in the newspaper, and the reason I mentioned Robert Shaw was he did a play about the Cato Street conspiracy.
	And he starred in it, and he directed it, and that type of thing.
	But they put out, the British police put an ad in the paper, Saying that all the British cabinet was going to be attending a party at this building on Cato Street.
	Now, none of that was true.
	But they did that so they could lure all these people in.
	All these people go there, and then they're waiting there to entrap them.
	This is why I say it's one of the oldest games in the book.
	It's why you need to be careful about things like January the 6th.
	It's why you need to be careful about all of this rhetoric.
	I don't know Steve Bannon.
	I've never met him, never talked to him.
	But I see what he's done, and I see what he's doing now.
	He and other people like him, Jack Posobiec especially.
	Jack Posobiec is part of military intelligence.
	And these people are out there trying to engineer a civil war.
	Don't let them do that.
	And if they do something like that, don't have anything to do with it.
	Don't get entrapped in this.
	It's another January the 6th thing.
	It's another Derzinski Trust thing.
	It's another Cato Street conspiracy.
	These people... Are fraudsters.
	They're rip-off con artists.
	They attach themselves to billionaires, but they rip off their people and throw them under the bus.
	A good example of this is the kind of rhetoric that is now, this was sent to me, made me, saw these two things at the same time.
	You've got Alex Jones talking to another guy about, well, you know, if they kill Trump, that'd be good because we could kick off a civil war.
	Who do you know that really, in their right mind, really wants to have a civil war?
	The only people I know in their right mind that want a civil war are the intelligence people.
	Because that's the way they gain power and control.
	And this is a message directly to every single person on the deep state target list.
	My assessment, Ivan Raikland's assessment, that if you assassinate any political presidential candidate, whether it's RFK, whether it's Trump, Guess what?
	America will do the following.
	Immediately. They will respond in kind.
	And they know who you are because we've created the list.
	And that's a major Rubicon.
	They should know that. Immediately.
	You're going to see immediate response.
	And there are only a few buildings in Washington, D.C. that they will probably do that.
	Well, I hope that's not the case, but these people are crazy.
	And having said that, if they do that...
	Option two behind Trump is going to be so much better for us and so much worse for them.
	I was about to say, if they kill him, that's best case scenario, from a sick level.
	From a sick level beating him, oh please kill him, which I don't, I mean, but it's so good after that.
	Yeah, we won a civil war, don't we?
	The best cleansing and the fastest cleansing that we've ever seen in my lifetime.
	Man, I tell you, what? I assess With almost certainty, with the highest level of confidence, that if they assassinate Trump, it is so game over for them.
	And it's going to be so fast.
	Yeah, and they're proud of that.
	They put that back out. See, we told, we predicted this is going to happen.
	I'm telling you that they're pushing you towards a civil war.
	And it's the same thing I saw with January the 6th.
	Same thing I told people about while I was there.
	It disgusts me to see this.
	And I know where it's coming from.
	These people who have connections with the CIA. Alex, this is also sent to me.
	Alex telling Joe Rogan about when he really got connected with the CIA. Now, I don't believe this.
	He's always had family that is there.
	But there was a tremendous change in Alex with Trump.
	Because he calls him up like he does RFK Jr.
	and pumps him with a bunch of BS. But also because he was getting a lot of people who understand the intelligence community is not monolithic, of course.
	There's, what was it, 17 different agencies, most of them in the military.
	The military intelligence agencies are very conservative.
	The CIA is, you know, Ivy League, liberals, socialists, communists.
	And they're at war with each other.
	But both of them are at war with us, and both of them would love to have a civil war.
	No, Joe, I'm with the CIA. We're not saying you're with the CIA. And I wasn't with the CIA 25 years ago when I started out.
	I was with good elements of the CIA when Donald Trump got elected and tried to take the country back from the globe.
	Because we're under globalist control.
	The Communist Chinese, the EU, Hollywood, the big banks, they say they run this country and they broke its back.
	So, forget the CIA, it's bigger than Coca-Cola.
	Telling the CIA like it's mysterious or cool is like talking about the post office.
	The CIA gets its talking points from me, Joe, and other patriots.
	Not the other way around. I run the CIA, Joe.
	Oh, so there, he's not controlled opposition.
	He controls the CIA, which opposes the Constitution and our government and our liberties.
	How about that? Isn't that interesting?
	Well, I tell you, I did see a big change in him.
	I saw a big change in him with the Trump thing.
	And in terms of who was telling him to do what, he was not controlling Pachinic, who was the other way around.
	It absolutely was the other way around.
	I have absolutely no doubt in my mind who was controlling who.
	He was a mouthpiece for the military-industrial complex side of the intelligence agency.
	Steve Pachinik had come on the program, and at the beginning, when he first did this, He came on the program saying, you know, there's going to have to be some kind of an assassination of Obama.
	And Alex flipped out.
	He's saying, I can't have him back on again.
	I mean, he's putting stuff out there.
	And that was in an overtime that they didn't push out.
	He used to do, before he did around-the-clock programming, he used to have a three-hour program.
	And then sometimes he would do like an overtime one hour.
	And that's what he did with Pchenik.
	And Pchenik made these statements.
	That Obama's going to have to do this and this, or we're going to have to put together...
	I know people in the military, and we're going to take him out.
	And so Alex said, well, we can't have Pchenik on again.
	But then he did have him on again.
	And then Pchenik started pushing this kind of stuff.
	I mean, I have seen this stuff firsthand.
	That's why people tell me, you know...
	You have to understand what these people are trying to do.
	I can't say this strongly enough.
	They want to get us into a civil war.
	I said that in a fourth turning. A fourth turning always begins with economics.
	And Strauss and Hal pointed that out in the early 90s.
	They said sometime in the mid-2000s there's going to be a worldwide economic crisis.
	And that's going to begin the fourth turning.
	Well, it happened in 2007, 2008.
	And they said that'll continue to probably about 2029.
	It's always a massive economic issue.
	Institutions are flipped upside down.
	And it usually involves war.
	Previous fourth turnings, Great Depression, World War II, prior to that the Civil War, prior to that the Revolutionary War, and they went back over a period of 500 years in British history.
	Now everything is synced together because of telecommunications globally.
	And what I said is that if we're not lucky, we're going to have a World War, a Civil War, at the same time.
	That's what these people are trying to do.
	Don't listen to them.
	Can't stress that enough.
	Have a good day. Let me tell you, The David Knight Show, you can listen to with your ears.
	You can even watch it by using your eyes.
	In fact, if you can hear me, that means you're listening to The David Knight Show right now.
	Yeah. Good job.
	And you want to know something else?
