David Knight Show As the clock strikes 13, it's Friday the 6th of September, Year of Our Lord 2024.
Well, today we have an interesting array of things.
We have information about Volkswagens, the classic cars that are still being kept alive.
And it gives us hope that we may be able to keep our cars alive long after they have stopped making them.
And of course, we can find the parts for them as well.
We also have some dinosaurs that have been preserved, not just Volkswagens, but dinosaurs.
And one particular dinosaur, and I'm talking about real dinosaurs, but one metaphorical dinosaur, Hillary Clinton has been preserved, unfortunately.
Hillary Rex.
Yes, she's out with a documentary about, guess what, abortion.
It never stops with these people.
We'll be right back, stay with us.
You're welcome.
I'm not a robot.
But we're going to begin with the news.
And there is some interesting news as we see the massive overrun of the border.
The Venezuelans seem to be taking front and center.
You know, first we had the guy who used to, we were told used to, maybe he still does, work for the Venezuelan intelligence agency, going around doing these hateful snarling videos, telling people, here's how you rip off the Americans.
Here's how you squat in their houses and they can't get rid of you.
That type of thing.
And they caught him and deported him.
I'm about the only one that they've done that with.
And then we have the gangs who are taking over apartment complexes in Aurora, Colorado, outside of Denver, in Chicago as well, and now in Texas.
And the oil fields, they're going through and destroying things, actually stealing stuff.
At this point, it doesn't seem to be directed at sabotage.
These are gangs that are not politically, but economically motivated.
But it's a distinction without a difference.
They just have a different motive.
But they're going through stealing things, anything that they think that they can sell, and essentially destroying what is there in the oil fields, and threatening employees.
They're trying to run them off the road.
Well, not trying, but did run them off the road when they came to confront them.
Texas-based oil and gas company issued a memo to employees informing them that police and FBI have warned that armed Cuban And Venezuelan migrant gangs are committing thefts in the Permian Basin, that is America's highest producing oil field.
You know, is this a surprise?
When we see this vast, these caravans have been organized, and it's such a structured, well-structured and organized thing where you have NGOs funded by Soros and other people, As they bring people in from different countries all over the world, they interject them into Central and South America.
Knowing what the different rules are for people coming from different countries, they pick the country of injection, insertion, if you will.
They put them into Central America, then they come up through the Darien Gap there in Panama, and they help them along the way.
Giving them aid to get here, giving them aid along the way.
And most of them that are coming in are not family groups, it's just young men.
And is it any surprise that there's so many gang members here?
Industry peers in law enforcement in West Texas are aware of recent increase in organized criminal activity, inclusive of violent gangs, gang activity, oil field thefts in and around the West Texas operational areas.
Specifically, regional law enforcement and the FBI advise that gang members emanating from Cuba and Venezuela organizing and working in concert to commit thefts within the Permian Basin.
These individuals and groups are armed, violent in nature, and will not hesitate to use force.
Crimes associated with these groups include theft of oil, diesel fuel, copper wire, catalyst elements, and recent incidents have also included two assaults by water haulers who were attempting to steal oil after the thieves were observed by witnesses who drove up to investigate.
The thieves attempted to use their vehicles to run the witnesses off the road.
Another incident, a thief acting as a spotter and following a water hauler who had stolen oil, also attempted to run a witness off the road.
There have been numerous reports of second vehicles acting as spotters with the oil theft.
So stealing anything they can carry away.
Put the oil in water haulers, take away copper, anything.
This is coming on top of what we already saw in Aurora.
And the amazing thing to me about it is that there has been, even though you have residents all over the place putting up TikTok stuff, look at this!
You're talking about how they've taken over the apartment complex, showing pictures of them walking around doing that, showing the chaos and destruction that has happened.
You have political officials, from the governor down to a couple of local officials, although some local officials have supported and helped the residents.
Others just, they spend all their time saying, nothing's wrong, nothing's wrong.
And of course, nothing is wrong.
It really isn't.
Not on their side.
This is exactly what they wanted.
This is exactly what they intended.
Just like our schools.
Our schools are not failing.
Our schools are not what you think they are.
Our schools were designed to do what they're doing, and this open border policy is doing what it was designed to do.
I've arrested a double homicide suspect in this city before, and I let him walk out the door because we're a sanctuary city, said one of the police officers in another incident where there was a crime committed by illegal immigrants.
He says, we do not report illegals, undocumented immigrants.
And he mentioned that several times and he knew that the video was playing and I think he was trying to send a message to people about police officer-wise.
I don't think that many of them like that.
I don't think they like it at all.
By the way, previously deported to illegal immigrants, been accused of abusing and chaining up children in a Virginia home.
This is incredibly crazy, but he was shacking up with somebody else.
There were two boys, ages 7 and 9, chained by their ankles.
The furniture in the home, they were reported, have now been arrested, charged with child neglect, child cruelty, two counts of abduction.
Abduction?
Um, I don't know.
It seems like they belonged to the woman that was, um, um, and he was staying with, but this is somebody that was, um, sent out of the country and then comes right back in because, uh, there's no wall, right?
Trump left us with no wall.
And never did anything except for the pandemic to try to stem the tide of people coming across.
But the real issue, the real issue, these are criminal gangs who are coming in.
But the bigger issue Is the collapse of, uh, you know, and that's one aspect of there's so many different aspects, taking jobs, uh, using them as voters, creating conflict between different.
Groups, you know, even domestic gangs, like in Chicago, you had some of the black gangs that were there saying, Oh, you better not mess with us or we're going to do this or that.
There's a people who have said, well, hell's angels are on the way to Aurora, Colorado and on and on.
We don't know about any of that kind of stuff, but that is something that will definitely happen.
If these gangs want to make a move into a particular territory, there's already going to be gangs there.
So, that's all a part of it.
But the thing that's going to ultimately destroy this country is the welfare state.
The welfare magnet is bringing in other people that are not criminal gang cartels.
And just the sheer weight of people who may be coming here only because they want to get free stuff.
As I said before, this is not the Ellis Island experience.
The Ellis Island experience people came with the clothes on their back and no money in their pockets and there was no welfare state to take care of them.
They came because they wanted freedom.
These people are coming because they want free stuff.
And the Democrats can't stop thinking of new schemes, of new things to give them.
Yeah, here's free health care.
Here's a free education.
Want a free house?
We'll do that.
How about unemployment?
You just walk across the border and, hey, well, you're unemployed, so here's some money.
They can't stop thinking of things that they want to give to them, and they give them higher benefits than they give to poor Americans that are here, even if you look at the welfare state.
Well, the other thing that is happening, we're kind of in a pincer situation, right?
From the bottom we got issues, from the top we got issues.
What is coming up at the end of this month, September 22nd and 23rd at the UN, there is a Summit of the Future.
I've talked about this before, where they want to pass a pact for the future.
An agreement of what they're going to do.
And this is going to be something like the Paris Climate Accord on steroids.
And it's going to focus on financial aspects.
Because ultimately, they have two desires with all these MacGuffins.
Number one, they want to kill us.
Number two, they want everything, right?
We will own nothing, and they will steal everything from us.
Just look at the massive transfer of wealth that was part of the COVID MacGuffin, and now we've seen it as well with the climate MacGuffin.
Over one and a half trillion dollars already, just from the U.S., transferred other people to make them wealthy.
This is the last American vagabond.
has this article.
I've talked about this in the past.
It's time for a reminder, especially because we're getting close to this.
So the UN is going to have this Summit of the Future September 22nd, 23rd at the UN to radically accelerate the push towards Agenda 2030.
Remember when it first came out, it was Agenda 21.
And I remember that was where it still was about a decade ago.
It was really, I think, about 2015 that they got more specific about it.
At first, it was, you know, sometime in the 21st century, UN Agenda 21.
We're going to do such and such.
And really, what was concerning about it, they were laying the foundation for all of this control, especially economic, based on climate alarmism.
But they weren't specific about when they were going to do it.
They did have their maps drawn up showing that they were going to get everybody removed from the land and packed into some, a few mega cities that were going to grow together like in Texas.
You know, you'd have from San Antonio, Austin up to Dallas would all grow together.
Then there'd be a connection over to Houston.
And so what they wanted to do was consolidate everybody into the cities, get everybody off of the land.
And so you can see that in the agenda 21 maps, then it got a lot more specific and it started talking about food and travel and all these other things and a timeframe.
Because if you don't have a timeframe on your goal, it's just a wish.
And so these people know how to get things done and they've got a timeframe on it.
So then it became 2030, the UN agenda for sustainable development goals.
And you need to, when you look at this.
You need to understand that the UN is not some separate thing.
And you have the UN, you've got the Club of Rome, you've got the Bilderberg Conference, you've got the Davos people, all of them are connected together.
And of course, the Davos group, that's the one that's been the most public, because they want to use them to draw all of the criticism of this stuff.
They're the lightning rod for the globalist agenda.
They're set up to handle all this and to be the PR, and they've got their little James Bond villain, cartoonish.
But it's really the other groups where the stuff is done, where they do it in secret.
But this is all really coming from the federal government anyway.
The federal government is part and parcel, in many cases, taking the lead of this.
The United States is the key funder of the UN.
So don't think of the UN as some kind of a foreign invasion.
The UN is us.
US.
That's really what is happening here.
So, the sum of the future has been in the making since at least 2022 after repeated calls by UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres to shift financial resources to accelerate this.
They want to make sure that we own nothing, they want to make sure they own everything, and they've got to hurry it up because they've got a deadline that's coming.
And that's when they set their 2030 goals back in 2015.
That's when they first started talking about smart cities and things like that.
One issue which has received mainstream coverage relates to 77 Nobel laureates and world leaders signing a letter complaining about references to fossil fuels being removed from the pact for the future.
And they got it put back in.
And it said things like, the threat of fossil fuel extraction and burning is exacerbating social inequalities.
That's where they're coming from.
The summit's theme is unilateral solutions for a better tomorrow.
Unilateral.
Didn't the U.N.
used to criticize it when they said, well, the U.S.
is acting in a unilateral way or something?
You'd have someone say, why hasn't, you know, Bush just started a new war.
They're not upset about the war.
They're upset that he didn't ask for their permission or whatever, right?
You can't just rule unilaterally.
They want to rule unilaterally.
One.
One.
And in their, in their document, They say, we recognize that the multilateral system and its institutions, with the UN and a charter at the center, must be strengthened.
So in other words, what they're calling for is consolidation.
They want to go from a multilateral situation, a lot of different states, a lot of different institutions, and we have to consolidate it into a unilateral thing, to keep pace with the changing world.
You know, when Karen and I moved to North Carolina, we used to go all the time up to Virginia because there were so many So many different Civil War places, and I had always been interested in the history of the Civil War, and she wasn't.
I mean, you know, she grew up in New York, and I know what the public schools taught.
They taught the same thing where I was in Florida.
The difference was our family had a connection to the Civil War, and my great-grandfather fought the Civil War.
And so there was a real family memory of what that was about.
You're not going to trick us with a book.
And of course, you can go back and you can read the history yourself.
I just came across a quote from Norm Macdonald.
He said, it's amazing how all these history books, he says, is so, they tell us that the good guy is always one.
He says, what are the chances of that happening?
But isn't it great that the good guys always win in the history books?
Anyway, we would go through, and we'd talk about history and things like that, and I recall, and she could tell you this, we moved there in 1983, and we started taking these things.
So back in 1983, I told her, I said, think of what happened with the Civil War in terms of the consolidation, what we're talking about here, right?
We had all these independent sovereign states, and they created a federal government because they said, well, we need to have, we need to coordinate our defense.
And so they created a federal government to help with that.
And so I said, imagine, you know, look at the United Nations in the same way.
I said, eventually the United Nations is going to try to consolidate all power to itself.
I told her in 1983.
And I said, they'll come up with something, you know, they don't have slavery or some other issue like that.
And of course, the civil war, the United States, I don't believe at all was about slavery.
They used that issue, but there was a civil war from 1861 to 65 in the United States.
And at the same time in Italy, as I've said many times, that one and many other civil wars that happened in Brazil and Europe and were about The Industrial Revolution.
They were about a fourth turning.
They're about the consolidation and creation of nation-states.
Again, a consolidation.
And also, that was accompanied with a change from an agrarian society to an industrialized society.
And it was the industrial powers that were in favor of a consolidated nation-state in all of these cases.
That's the issue.
None of the others was it about slavery.
And of course slavery had already been ended prior to the American Revolution by the British Empire in the areas that they controlled in the Caribbean.
They had first stopped the slave trade and then they had paid the people who had the plantations and who owned the slaves.
They were taking their property, if you will, and so they gave them compensation.
It was a peaceful thing.
The reality is, is that we spent more on ammunition in the Civil War, not to mention the cost of lives and other things.
We spent, the federal government should say, spent more on ammunition than the British did to emancipate the slaves throughout the Caribbean.
So there was a peaceful way to do it, of course, when it was ended.
In the UK, it was ended by Christians, by people like William Wilberforce.
And he wasn't interested in going in and using it for any other agenda.
His agenda was just to free the slaves.
Lincoln was using it as a different agenda, and a lot of others were.
You did have people like Lysander Spooner who was a hardcore abolitionist and libertarian.
He was a guy who competed against the post office and they had to do an act of Congress to shut him down because the post office was so expensive and inefficient.
Funny how some things don't change.
And so they shut it down to make sure that there was going to be no competition.
But he was a hardcore libertarian, abolitionist.
He was also an atheist, by the way.
But he, as soon as Lincoln put together the army, started to invade the South, he said, well that's it.
They have a right to secede.
And so then he opposed Lincoln as well.
Anyway, even though he was, like I said, a hardcore abolitionist.
So the story that we're told in the history books is a just-so story.
It doesn't really match up with reality, but the victors always write it, as Churchill said.
And so what I told her, I said, imagine today, how would they do that today?
Well, they're going to create some boogeyman.
In 1983, I knew it was going to be the car.
Because they'd started that with the first Earth Day and everything, you know, we got to get rid of all cars.
They've been screaming about that since I'd been in high school, actually, even before.
Got to get rid of the car, the depopulationists were saying.
First, they came for the car, then they came for us.
But I knew it was going to be the car.
So I said, imagine that they make the internal combustion engine the great boogeyman of the world.
And we're going to have to do something about it.
So we're going to have to create a consolidated global government.
Well, here we are.
Here we are.
40 years later.
The Summit of the Future is expected to include calls for remaking the UN into what has been called UN 2.0.
More powerful, more consolidated, more heavily funded.
The third draft of the Pact for the Future continues a discussion around the global shocks and how these shocks will require a global response.
They use this term, shocks, over and over again.
They define what they call complex global shocks as events that have severely disruptive and adverse consequences for a significant proportion of countries and global population.
You know, the kind of shock that they did to us.
With the lockdowns that Trump and all the rest of them did.
These shocks would require multi-dimensional, multi-stakeholder, whole-of-government, whole-of-society response.
When you hear talk like that, you take the safety off of your rifle.
They're coming for you.
These potential shocks would necessitate the activation of emergency platforms, quote-unquote, which could grant the UN more power to respond to these apparent emergencies.
Everything is about responding to the emergency.
And of course, just like they created two weeks before 9-11, you know, they did their germ games and this is all about an emergency.
And then they practice about how they're going to do that emergency for 20 years.
Then they create the fake emergency.
And roll all this stuff out.
We've seen this playbook over and over again.
So, the last American Vagabonds previously reported that calls for the emergency platform are similar to calls for the UN to declare a planetary emergency.
Planetary emergency.
Danger, Will Robinson.
UN-affiliated organizations like the Climate Governance Commission have been calling for such a declaration over the last years, in late November 2023.
Just before the opening of the UN Climate Change Conference, COP 28, the Climate Governance Commission released a report titled, Governing Our Planetary Emergency.
This would be funny if people would wake up.
It's so obvious what they're doing.
It's just, how do they keep getting away with this?
And then you look at Trump.
And you look at the Democrats, and it's like, oh, that's how.
People are so incredibly stupid.
It's not looking at them.
It's like, oh, wow, they're really smart.
No.
You have the dumbest people in the world put up as your leaders, the most corrupt, stupid people in the world, puppets that they choose, and everybody falls behind them.
These Pied Pipers that we've got.
We can trace the call for a planetary emergency back to the infamous but obscure group, the Club of Rome.
The Climate Governance Commission's November 2023 report even notes that the belief in a polycrisis is, quote, recognized in the work of the Club of Rome Planetary Emergency Project.
So, you know, this is not some wild conspiracy theory that we're bringing out all the usual suspects.
Well, the usual suspects are all here.
You know, you've got the Gates people, you've got the Rockefellers, you've got all of, you know, Club of Rome, they've all got a hand in it.
They're funding it, they're mentioned in the documents.
All of them.
So they've been calling for a planetary emergency going back to 2019, the Club of Rome has.
And they've got their planetary emergency plan all drawn up, just like, you know, they did their dark winter schemes.
The Club of Rome's planetary emergency plan We've got a planetary emergency here!
It's insidious.
But folks, this is just incredibly stupid.
How can we be falling for this?
And the reason is that nobody even knows about it.
They did a great job of shutting down The Last American Vagabond, this show, and all the rest of these.
So you tell people about it.
You put this stuff out because they're not going to let any of this stuff go through in an organic way.
The Club of Rome's emergency plan is described as quote, a roadmap for governments and other stakeholders to shift our societies and economies to bring back a balance between people, planet and prosperity.
Okay.
So, um, get rid of the people.
In the name of the planet and make a few people prosperous.
The latest draft of the pact for the future also outlines specific ways.
By the way, that's yet another PPP.
Public-private partnership.
People, planet, prosperity.
And whenever they tell you that, they are PPPing down your back and telling you that it's raining, as Josie Whale said.
The last draft of the pact for the future also outlines specific ways in which the international financial architecture should be reformed.
It's just amazing.
So, you know, they're rolling together their schemes using special drawing rights and everything is basically just think of the special drawing rights of some kind of a globalist UN created derivative, right?
And they want to leverage that to steal.
They're not really any different than these Venezuelan gangs going through, just grabbing anything they can find.
Except they can take everything because they do it with a pen and paper rather than guns.
So, International Monetary Fund is there to explore all options to continue to strengthen the global financial safety net, quote unquote, under Action 55.
I don't know how many actions they've got.
They say, quote, we will accelerate the reform of the international financial architecture so that it can meet the challenge of climate change.
We will increase the availability, the accessibility, and the impact of climate finance to developing countries.
In other words, they're just going to rip us off.
It's a massive grift.
It's going to be trillions of dollars.
It'll be a wealth transfer.
The climate MacGuffin always has been about that, just like the pandemic MacGuffin was.
They are describing it as a new Bretton Woods moment.
In other words, they're talking about really reorganizing the entire global financial system like Bretton Woods.
Going back to 1944 and then we had Bretton Woods 2 with Nixon and Kissinger.
They created the petrodollar.
Now as everybody is casting around, it's clear the petrodollar is dead because Saudis are no longer exclusively dealing in U.S.
dollars.
So it is dead.
And so the dollar and that petrodollar scheme and the second Bretton Woods is a zombie, a dead man walking, and everybody's casting around for what they're going to do to replace it.
And so the UN wants a new Bretton Woods moment.
That's what the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said.
It's going to be focused on the idea that they've got a global problem and it needs to have a consolidated global government.
As a matter of fact, it was June of last year.
So this is happening very quickly.
It was June of last year they had a financial pact.
They had a summit for a new global financial pact.
And now they've got another pact that is coming up in September.
And then there was also the COP 28 that happened in November.
So this is happening like about every six months.
Anyway, they've got another one of these meetings, another one of these PACs that they're doing.
And isn't it interesting, we keep seeing Emmanuel Macron and France at the center of this.
That's where they held the Summit for New Global Financing PAC last year.
Always at the center.
Because, again, you know, as we saw with the Olympics, they are thoroughly The French government has, since the French Revolution, been thoroughly Jacobin, Marxist, collectivist, communist, whatever you want to call it.
It's always been about that, and still is.
And we can see that celebrated in the Olympics.
Well, they're having this new global financing pact that they created, and of course, All the leaders of the US, Germany, UK, Brazil, Biden, Schultz, Rishi Sunak at the time, Lula and Brazil, all of them were there, along with Soros and Gates and Rockefeller's money, the foundations supporting that.
The resetting of the financial system is a crucial component of their plans, and we have to spread the word quickly, says the last American vagabond.
Additionally, we need to put our energy into the creation of alternative parallel systems, which can compete with a technocratic state directly.
This is why I'm helping to produce the People's Reset UK, our summit for our future that's taking place in Bath, UK, the weekend after the UN Summit.
For three days, we will host 24 presenters from around the world with a focus on solutions for creating these much needed parallel systems in the areas of health, finance, education, digital technology, and community building.
Together, we can create a more beautiful world that we know is possible.
When they talk about parallel systems, and a lot of people have talked about this, you know, Andrew Torba, Gab, I've talked about parallel systems.
Many people have talked about it.
Just think of it as local governance.
That's what you need to be focusing on.
And that's why I keep coming back to this.
I talk about what's happening in Washington.
I talk about what's happening with the UN, these global agendas, and I think so that you understand how they're going to be coming at us.
So that you understand that if you don't do something outside of what they want you to do, Then you're going to be entrapped.
And so the parallel system means that you focus on your community, your family, other things.
And that's how you create the parallel systems for health and for finance and for education, things like that.
You have to do it and not get caught and trapped into their solutions.
They always have a problem and a solution.
And when it comes to politics, Their solution is you vote for a Democrat or Republican.
End of story.
Which one are you going to support?
Well, you don't like Trump.
You obviously like Lala.
No, I don't support either one of them.
I won't vote for either one of them.
And I keep telling people to stop your focus on that and pay attention to what's going on in your local area.
I can't tell you what's going on in your local area.
It's hard.
There's a lot of different local areas.
And so there's no way that I could cover all that, and so I focus on the problem that is coming after us, and I focus on the two people that are there to draw you away from doing anything.
One of them is going to come straight at you, and the other one is going to be the one to stab you in the back.
You can figure out which two are which, right?
So you need to focus On stopping not just the UN, the UN is going to operate through the national governments.
You need to focus locally, because this is going to come after you in your local government.
If you're in Australia, Canada, whatever, it's still going to come at you through your national government, just like it did four years ago.
It's going to be financed by them.
They're going to give cover to it.
They're going to help to set the agenda.
And guess what?
The agenda is going to be the same in every country because they have all, regardless of political party, just like in 2020, didn't matter what political party it was.
It could be Justin Trudeau.
It could be the Conservative Party in the UK.
It could be the Socialist Party in France or whatever, or it could be Donald Trump.
And they all did the same thing.
Or then you could replace Trump with Biden.
And guess what?
They're all still, Biden was, Trump was in lockstep with everybody.
Then they replaced Trump with Biden.
Biden is in lockstep with everybody.
The only thing that changes is whether or not people are going to stand down and go along with this based on who the, uh, the, the national puppet is.
That's the difference.
And so you need to focus on how you're going to stop this.
We're going to take a quick break, and we'll be coming back.
Rockfin Dougalug, thank you very much for the tip.
Says, thank you, David and crew.
Remember to like and hit the like and subscribe buttons to help to spread the word.
Yes, thank you for reminding me.
And please do hit the like buttons if you're listening live, or if you're listening to it as a delayed broadcast, please hit the like button.
We really do need that visibility.
We've even been talking about how maybe we need to create another Twitter channel.
Maybe it wouldn't be so heavily censored for at least a while.
I don't know.
We're just kind of kicking around some ideas and I'm sure they don't watch this program so I can tell you about them.
We'll be right back.
♪♪♪
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
Well, there is a new, very accurate facial recognition search engine.
It's called Linzo.ai.
They've launched a highly accurate, fast, and user-friendly facial recognition tool in collaboration with IMatch.ai.
This story is coming from winepressnews.com.
And I mentioned that because you have to be very careful about what you post online.
And just understand that social media is a trap.
We've seen people, especially in the UK, you've got people now in jail for years because they posted their disagreement with the immigration policy of the Labour government.
Oh, okay.
Five years.
And you saw that cartoon character judge with his white wig.
Now this is just absolutely intolerable.
How dare you?
No.
Was it three years, five years, something like that for a Facebook post?
And this is, you know, Facebook and these other social media companies.
Facebook was created the day after they shut down LifeLog.
Everybody looked at it and said, that's creepy.
We don't want to have something like that being run by the government.
Oh, okay.
Well, the government won't run it.
We'll pick Zuckerberg and we'll let him run it.
But they're all operating that way.
All of social media is really a LifeLog.
And everybody is more than willing to put up anything and everything about their lives.
And the younger generation, as I've said, I really do think these Big Brother programs that they had or kicking somebody off of an island or whatever, I've never seen one of them, but I know what they're about.
And I think that that was predictive programming and really kind of creating a desire for people that, hey, if I just show everything about my life, And, you know, become this exhibitionist.
Maybe I can become a celebrity like these people.
These people who were contestants, they didn't have anything to offer except exhibitionism.
And so everybody thinks, well, you know, that can, if I got a lot of followers, that makes me important, right?
When we look at where this is all headed in terms of food, for example, they're redefining what genetically modified food is.
They've got a new label, so they think that you don't know.
But they're also telling you going back and looking at this is zero hedge article.
I said it go back to March of 2022.
Bloomberg put out an article said inflation stings most if you earn less than $300,000.
So here's how to deal with it.
And they put up a tweet, and they condensed some of their advice there.
Scroll down a little bit, people can see that.
There it is, right there.
Take the bus.
What happens if there's no buses around here?
Don't buy in bulk.
Don't buy in bulk?
To save money?
Yeah.
Richer food, maybe.
Try lentils instead of meat.
And finally, nobody said this was going to be any fun.
Well, I think they're having fun.
And then so zero H says, so what's happened to the price of lentils since they did that?
They said, you could get a 12 pack of canned lentil soup.
Um, and they give you a particular brand that they looked at.
They compare the price of this brand of soup, uh, in March of 2020, they said you could get 12 of them for 30 bucks when they published that op-ed piece.
Several months later, the prices jumped to $50 from $30.
And then, uh, now it has been popping around in the 40 to $50 range, but that's still about 50% increase.
And then, uh, you can see the chart there.
Look, it's got a new level there where it bounces around.
Then, uh, scroll down, look at orange juice.
Oh, wow.
We had, um, 20, 20, uh, with Trump there.
It just goes vertical has been kind of bopping around.
As you're always going to see that with some kind of an agricultural commodity based on weather and other issues and all of a sudden go straight up.
It hasn't hit a plateau yet.
Same thing with egg prices.
Scroll down and show the egg prices there.
Look at that.
Egg prices going up and beef prices go down.
Beef is just going up constantly.
Yeah, it's almost vertical.
It's going up in about a 45 degree angle, but it's not gone up at a 90 degree angle like the orange juice has.
But don't worry, because we have communism right around the corner.
Lala, a communist, is going to put price controls on the food.
That'll fix everything, right?
Well, RFK Jr.
put up a post yesterday about genetic modification.
Wheat was the one U.S.
crop, he says, that was always non-GMO.
Because the U.S.
exports $6 billion a year in wheat, and our biggest buyers refused the GMO conversion.
So it was consumer demand from other countries.
They said, we don't want it in GMO form.
You know, it's interesting.
Certain products have really taken the lead.
The most genetically modified organism anywhere is the tobacco plant.
They have done so much to it.
It's not only the tobacco plant they've modified extensively, but it's also modified the cigarettes, you know, going back for decades.
It's one of the reasons why I think that became a dangerous activity.
Anyway, yet last week, the FDA and the USDA approved an Argentine-developed GMO wheat strain for the United States.
So, if you didn't think our wheat was already messed up enough, as a matter of fact, if you've got food allergies and things like that, A lot of people already know it sets off my son.
But we have found that you can get some older grains, like spelt, and that works.
So there are some older Because we say heirloom wheat strains that if you look around you can find that stuff but pretty much anything that is processed already the wheat is extremely so he doesn't address that RFK jr.
doesn't but it's already a mess and it's not going to get a lot worse I think but he says so who asked US consumers Are wheat growers, if they want any of this stuff?
Well, they don't ask, they just do it.
And it's becoming even more deceptive because now they're creating everybody is, um, you know, I don't really want GMO stuff.
I want non GMO.
So that's the consumers have spoken and they know that.
And so they're doing this in opposition to consumer demand.
And so, um, if nobody likes what you're selling, what you do is you just change the name, right?
You're not pro-life.
You're anti-abortion rights or whatever.
It's always about the labels.
And so now they have a new label for GMO stuff.
They call it gene-edited.
Gene-edited.
And they want you to believe that it is different.
And there is a slight difference there.
OffGuardian says, have you heard gene-edited crops and livestock are here to solve all of our problems?
Five days ago, the Washington Post reported that gene editors We're working to genetically engineer the cow microbiome to eliminate methane emissions, and I talked about that.
It went forever.
We're going to modify the cow's stomach and all the rest of this stuff.
That was the longest article I've seen ever from the Washington Post, and they did not put it behind a paywall either.
They wanted you to see that.
It was a big PR campaign.
And so they're talking about gene-edited instead of genetically modified.
And they make this distinction.
They say that something that is genetically modified will have genes from other organisms added to it.
Whereas gene-edited stuff, you're editing the genes, but you're not taking genetics from something else.
In other words, you're not crossing a chicken with a pig.
And getting a chig or something, right?
The old jokes we used to have going around when I was a kid.
What happens when you cross a this with a that, right?
We all heard that stuff.
Well, it's not a joke anymore.
It's a very dangerous thing.
We call them chimera when they do that.
A lot of people I've found over the years didn't really understand that genetic modification was different than selective breeding.
And the point is, is that if you go in and you edit, you genetically modify something, you can combine different species together, different aspects of different species.
You can add things from insects to other animals.
I mean, they had the monkeys that glowed in the dark because they put in a gene from the lightning bugs, you know.
But you can even cross the plant kingdom with the animal kingdom.
Maybe get something like Groot.
I don't know.
So they can create these chimeras.
And they can go even across different kingdoms.
Plank Kingdom and Animal Kingdom.
And doesn't that speak highly of a common designer?
The DNA is a computer code.
It's a system.
It's something that is shared by every living thing, animal or plant.
Now, these people are going in and messing with it.
They don't know what they're doing.
And so, now what they're trying to do is to, and people are confused about that.
The difference between selective breeding, you know, we look at dogs, for example.
You got everything from Chihuahuas to Irish Wolfhounds.
They're all, you know, huge difference in size and temperament and speed, everything, you know, but that is selective breeding.
And so they want to do this genetically.
And so they're saying, well, you know, gene editing is not really any different than selective breeding.
They're trying to sell it that way.
No, it is very different.
It is very different.
So they say, gene editing should not be confused with genetic modification.
Genetically modified organisms are those where DNA from a different species have been introduced into another or different kingdoms.
Combine insects with mammals or plants with mammals or whatever.
Gene edited organisms generally do not contain generally, generally do not contain DNA from different species.
They contain changes that could be made more slowly using traditional breeding methods.
So why didn't they just call this warp speed genes?
Let's just do it real fast and let's do it without any tests.
Okay.
That's the warp speed approach.
Nobody could have done it faster than me!
Look at this thing with two heads I've got.
Isn't that great?
Yeah, that worked out so well for us that we want to go fast.
And that's the motto out of Silicon Valley.
Go fast, break things.
They're going to be breaking the genetic code, that's for sure.
At the moment, following a European Court of Justice ruling in 2018, gene editing is regulated in the same way as genetic modification.
Because it really is a distinction without a difference.
What they're doing is they're going in and they're modifying the code of plants and animals.
And unfortunately, they don't really know what they're doing.
They don't do any test or oversight.
They just go fast and break things.
But the UK government is consulting on changing these rules in England, allowing gene editing research to be used to produce beneficial crops and livestock.
And that is exactly what they have now done.
So they call it the genetic technology.
And here's that precision breeding is what they're saying.
Precision breeding.
Doesn't that sound great?
That sounds like a really good thing.
So genetically edited organisms.
Are now going to be precision bred.
Wow.
Where do I get that?
That's the kind of food I want to eat.
Precision bred food.
It's all word definitions.
That's a tool of tyrants is to seize the high ground rhetorically and the high ground for the arguments by changing the terminology.
So now GMO is going to be gene editing.
Gene editing then changes to precision breeding.
Well, they've been precision.
They've been genetically modifying, I guess you could say our cars out the engines.
And, um, we've got, um, if you remember years ago, it's been going on for quite some time.
This was back in 2015 where they had, where they came after VW for the emissions.
Remember that?
I was right about the time I started talking to Eric Peters.
We talked about that a great deal.
Uh, we talked about, Hey, look at the fact that we got this, uh, Takata airbag company.
They've killed, you know, maybe 15-20 people by now with the airbags that are defective.
They've had recalls of tens of millions of cars for this stuff.
And yet, there's no penalty for them, really.
Not like it was for Dieselgate.
They fined Volkswagen over four billion dollars.
They came after the CEO, Martin Winterkorn, And they're just now coming back to his criminal trial is just now starting.
We are nine years later.
They gave him a temporary pass because he was very sick.
As his lawyer said, he did not defraud anybody.
That's correct.
He did not harm anybody.
That's correct.
Nobody died.
And Eric and I used to talk about whenever we'd bring this up and say, well, look at the, you know, all these, the history of, of cars where they did shortcuts, you know, the, the, the Pinto, one of the best examples where they actually found the documents from Ford.
Where they said, well, it's this part's going to cost us like, you know, $30 or something to do something about this and to, to make this better.
But if we calculate that out to all the different Pintos that we're going to sell, um, we'd be better off just to take our chances and pay off the lawsuits.
When somebody is in a Pinto that gets rear ended, that explodes.
So that was the calculation that they made.
Now they didn't pay anything like this kind of penalty.
Nobody was charged with anything criminal.
And yet what they said was, well, you designed this in order to trick us about your emissions.
And so they wanted to destroy Volkswagen, but instead Volkswagen destroyed their diesels.
And went full on into electric, as Eric Peters has talked about many times.
They'd already come up with a diesel engine.
Diesel engines last forever.
Diesel engine, they get 100 miles per gallon and that type of thing.
And it was pretty clean.
They didn't want that.
They've got one solution.
You've got to get something that is hooked to the grid.
So stop this with the diesel stuff.
And that's why they did it.
It wasn't because there was any issue.
Nothing was criminal.
There was no fraud, no harm to anyone.
But they wanted to manipulate Volkswagen.
So, as a matter of fact, right now we're looking at Volkswagen is coming into some difficult times.
They are closing for the first time ever a VW plant.
In Germany.
Yeah, they closed them in other countries.
As a matter of fact, we'll talk a little bit about it, what happened with the VW Bug, the classic Bug.
After they stopped making them in Germany and other places, they continued to make them in Mexico for quite some time.
Actually, they made more VW Bugs in Mexico than they did in Germany.
Uh, and so, you know, they shut that down.
They've shut down, uh, fact, uh, factories outside of Germany, but they've never done one in Germany before and their entire 87 year history.
And as they shut this down, they're going to have major clashes with the German unions as well.
So it's going to get pretty ugly.
And then this diesel gate thing is brought back down nine years later.
They're going to have a trial about that.
Bottom line is.
All European and American manufacturing companies are dead men walking.
All of them.
Without exception.
You're going to see them all close down just like we saw manufacturing plants in the UK shutting down.
Steel, some of the more energy intensive ones are going to be the first ones to shut down.
But they can't compete with China.
Because of the Paris Climate Accord.
The Paris Climate Accord, the net result of that was not to do anything about global emissions, because you've got the two biggest countries, China and India, allowed to have as much in terms of dirty power plants, coal power plants that are not scrubbed.
They can build them cheap and dirty, as many of them as they want.
The two most populous countries on Earth And they want to say that that's a deal to protect the climate globally.
They don't believe that.
And the true believers didn't believe it.
They said, this is nothing other than a transfer of industry to China.
And they got that right.
That's all it is.
They use the climate fear, but it's all about transferring this to them because the manufacturing edge, they always talk about Things like rare earth metals and things like that, or lithium or this and that, in terms of China's advantage.
But their real advantage is the cost of energy.
You can't manufacture anything to compete with them if your cost of energy is going to be several times what they have to pay for energy.
So, it begins with Volkswagen.
Trump has announced, by the way, a plan for Government Efficiency Commission to conduct full financial audit of the federal government.
He spoke to the Economic Club of New York, where you talk about insiders.
This is not like the Mises Organization.
These people don't know or care anything about economics.
It was like, what are you going to do for us?
And so he told them, he says, I'm going to create a department of government efficiency.
He said that at the suggestion of Elon Musk, I will create a government efficiency commission tasked with conducting a complete financial performance audit of the entire federal government and making recommendations for drastic reforms.
Well, this was kind of a joke, um, from.
Musk.
He said, uh, we'll have a department of government efficiency, D O G E doge, like doge coin.
He's talked about for so long.
Did Trump not get the joke?
So I need to explain the, the meme to him.
Uh, cause he doesn't seem to have understood what that joke is really about.
Efficiency is not the problem.
The problem is we've got a government that doesn't know what its limitations are.
and what its limitations should be.
The problem with government is not efficiency.
The problem with government in Washington is intrusion into every aspect of your life.
Intrusion is the problem.
The question should be, what is government authorized to do?
And so, the Economics Club.
I couldn't believe it.
The left put this up because Trump kind of hems and haws and stumbles around.
He's having a difficult time really speaking.
He doesn't really address it.
But this Economic Club of New York said, what are you going to do to make child care affordable?
Says, when is that a job of the federal government?
I mean, are we going to try to outsource everything to them?
Yes, we do.
That's what the school thing is.
Please.
Here, I've got some kids.
I'd like for you to raise them for me.
Could you do that for me?
I can't afford to, you know, get childcare or whatever, and I've got to go to work to pay my taxes.
That's where we are right now, right?
So we can't take the tax burden off of you.
No, no, no.
That's off the books.
Even though we don't care about the deficit, we can't reduce your taxes.
And we can't get the government out of your life.
Instead, we want the government to come in more.
And so, this economic club of New York actually asks Trump about child care.
And instead of him saying, what are you talking about?
That's not the federal government.
He tries to answer the question.
If you win in November, can you commit to prioritizing legislation to make child care affordable?
And if so, what specific piece of legislation will you advance?
Well, I would do that, and we're sitting down, you know, I was somebody, we had Senator Marco Rubio, and my daughter Ivanka was so impactful on that issue.
It's a very important issue, but I think when you talk about... Pander, pander, pander.
I'm talking about that because child care is child care.
It's child care.
Yeah.
Gotta have it.
Gotta be federal.
Oh.
Gotta have it.
When you talk about those numbers compared to the kind of numbers that we're talking about by taxing foreign nations at levels that they're not used to, but they'll get used to it very quickly.
And it's not going to stop them from doing it.
Oh, going to raise tariffs.
But they'll have a very substantial tax when they send product into our country.
Very substantial tax when they send product into our country.
Those numbers are so much bigger than any numbers that we're talking about, including child care, that it's going to take care.
Those numbers are so much bigger than any numbers that we're talking about, including child care, that it's going to take care of.
We're going to have, I look forward to having no deficits within a fairly short period of time, coupled with the reductions that I told you about on waste and fraud and all of the other things that are going on in our country, because I have to stay with child care.
We're going to have, I look forward to having no deficits within a fairly short period of Okay.
I want to stay with child care, but those numbers are small relative to the kind of economic numbers that I'm talking about, including growth, but growth also headed up by what the plan is that I just told you about.
We're going to be taking in trillions of dollars, and as much as child care is talked about as being expensive, it's relatively speaking not very expensive compared to the kind of numbers we'll be taking in.
We're going to make this into an incredible country that can afford to take care of its people, and then we'll worry about the rest of the world.
Let's help other people.
But we're going to take care of our country first.
This is about America first.
It's about Make America great again.
We have to do it because right now we're a failing nation.
So we'll take care of it.
Thank you.
Well, there you go.
That's always the answer.
Make America great again.
What a pendering fool he is.
What an idiot he is.
Anybody fall for that?
You know what?
We're going to give you everything you want.
We're going to do everything for you in your life.
And somebody else is going to pay the taxes for that.
We'll get the super rich to do it.
Or in Trump's case, since he's super rich, he'll get foreign countries to pay for it.
We'll have tariffs on everything.
Trillions of dollars of tariffs.
Well, what's that going to do since everything's being manufactured abroad now?
I mean, even cans are being manufactured abroad.
A few months ago when everybody's talking about tariffs, tariffs, tariffs, reasons, you realize what they're talking about doing in terms of cans, even, all the stuff that you get in cans, when they put, especially because, again, we are, we've already, we're having our energy shut down.
And we import so much stuff anyway.
It's only going to get worse.
But even if we didn't shut the energy down, look at how much stuff we import and have been doing for the longest time.
Trade deficit that we had with China even before we gave them the advantage on energy.
You know, they send over these gigantic container ships and then they go back empty.
They're not buying anything from us.
And they won't be buying that.
But if we get our stuff from them, And he puts tariffs on it.
Everything's going to be more expensive.
And he's not going to do anything in terms of tax relief.
No, he's going to not give you tax relief.
I said Trump's a Democrat, and he is a Democrat.
And here's a good example of it.
Democrats will always promise you new benefits from the government, but never tax cuts.
Not going to do tax cuts.
Might propose something that's a little bit of a, you know, demagoguery.
Oh, no tax cuts.
No tax on tips.
Well, I guess we'll all be working as waiters and waitresses, if there's any restaurants left.
Probably won't be.
And there's not going to be any deficits except at your kitchen table.
That's where you're going to have your deficits.
But don't worry, the government's going to take care of your children.
Child care.
And I put that out yesterday and said, and it was, you know, I haven't gone back to see all the comments that I got.
Uh, if I got any, maybe they didn't even see, you know, usually you see something like that, like, uh, probably put my tweet down at the bottom and said, this is, um, this is, uh, you know, other tweets that you probably don't want to see.
You know, you got to click the button to see it.
And then you look at those and you got to click another button to see even more of those tweets that Twitter doesn't want you to see maybe.
So I'm probably three or four layers down nested in that.
But I said, please help me to find this.
I can't seem to find in the Constitution where child care is listed.
I just don't see it.
Does the Economic Club of New York understand anything about government or the economy?
No.
By the way, Lala would not even talk to them.
Maybe that was a smart decision if you're going to ask garbage like that, but that's really more of a question for her.
If you want government to be efficient, right?
You're not worried about what government does.
We're going to provide child care to everybody.
We just got to do it efficiently.
Well, to do it efficiently, I'm going to then enact tariffs on everything that comes in the country.
No, you need to look at what government's function is supposed to be.
Is it doing what it wants to do?
You know, the Nazis made the trains run on time.
They were very efficient.
Wasn't that great?
You want to have that?
Or maybe we could run our government like the Nazis in Ukraine, anticipate the government will be run in 2030, where they just streamline everything.
This is a vision put together by our intelligence agencies and the people who created this war in Ukraine.
They did the coup.
They did the aggression.
And they've got a plan for what Ukraine 2030 looks like.
And it is very efficient.
Let's look eight years ahead.
2030.
The history of the new Ukraine is studied all over the globe.
Why?
Because Ukraine became the most digital and convenient country in the world.
Scripts have replaced bureaucrats.
500,000 former public servants are successfully integrated in the new economy.
No more red tape, but paperless.
No more banknotes, but cashless.
Yes, we became the first country to abandon paper money.
Ukraine now has the best tech system for the IT industry and the most affordable e-residency.
Thanks to Ukrainian engineers and programmers, the R&D centers of the world's top technology companies operate successfully.
And Ukraine ranks first in the world by the number of startups per capita.
Ukrainian courts are guided by artificial intelligence, and all notarial acts take place online.
Ukrainian customs is fully automatic and the fastest in the world.
Customs clearance and car registration can now be done in three clicks from your smartphone.
Because of war and internal migration, we have built the most flexible in modern digital education.
Brave military and civilians get quality treatment with modern remote monitoring and e-health systems.
Constantly watching it.
You know, no more standing in line at the DMV because the DMV is always looking at you.
Isn't that great?
Yeah, we don't really care what government does.
It should do everything.
It should provide child care, health care.
Well, guess what?
The government doesn't care.
But we want them to do everything and we want them to do it efficiently.
Now, if the government is doing the wrong thing, I hope they're as inefficient as possible.
So, the IRS Direct File Program.
Making it easier for the IRS to take your money.
See, there's the efficiency right there.
Isn't that great?
Don't you like that?
You want a more efficient IRS?
Or do you want a smaller IRS?
Well, a smaller IRS is not in the books.
Both the Republicans and the Democrats, just to show you that there's no difference between these, both of them agree that the IRS has got to grow.
It had a budget of $13 billion.
They gave it another $80.
Even under Kevin McCarthy, because there were some conservatives who were putting pressure on Kevin McCarthy.
They don't put any pressure on Mike Johnson.
He gets to do whatever he wants.
And what he wants to do, this new quote-unquote conservative Christian speaker, what he wants to do is exactly what the Biden administration wants to do.
It's amazing how their interests coincide on the war in Ukraine, how their interests coincide in terms of making the IRS into this monster.
That is seven times bigger than it is today.
When pressure was being put on Kevin McCarthy, he said, no, we're only going to make it five times bigger.
Well, there you go.
I said, fine.
That's your difference between Democrats and Republicans.
Democrats want an IRS at seven times bigger.
But aren't we thankful that we have the Republicans who only want to make it five times bigger?
But then we get Speaker Johnson in and he wants to make it seven times bigger.
He agrees a hundred percent with Biden.
So last month says Mises, Mises.org and a move to curb another example of government overreach representatives, Adrian Smith and Chuck Edwards introduced the IRS Overreach Prevention Act.
This is not about keeping the IRS from growing to seven times its current size.
There's not much overreach that is being pulled back here.
The Act has very modest aims.
The Act aims to prohibit the IRS from continuing its direct file pilot program.
The program, which essentially allows the IRS to bypass the normal audit process and file tax liens directly with the courts.
In other words, they don't even have to go through an auditing process.
I want to take your stuff and you will have to prove that you're innocent.
You see, that's where the civil asset forfeiture really came from.
We can trace civil asset forfeiture's creation back through the RICO statutes and things like that, but it really goes back to the IRS.
The IRS was the, because that's gonna bring in money to the government, that became their beta test site for every kind of tyranny.
And now it's being done by all the alphabet agencies.
We'll go in and they'll create regulations and then they say, well, These are regulations that we created.
They're not laws that were created by your elected representatives.
So therefore, with a regulation created by the bureaucracy, you don't get protections under the Constitution as if it were a law created by Congress.
So we're not going to give you the presumption of innocence.
We're not going to give you due process.
We're just going to go in and steal what you've got.
And then you have to prove that you're innocent, right?
And that's the way the IRS has operated all my life.
You know, they just go in and say, well, this is what we think you owe us, and we're going to steal it from you.
And if you want to challenge us, you can go to our court and prove to us that you're innocent.
And now they're not even going to go through the troublesome step of doing an audit.
They will just go take the money from you.
It is like civil asset forfeiture.
And so these two representatives said, we've got to stop that.
They're not moving anything back.
They're just trying to stop The IRS from taking yet another step forward.
It is a clear violation of due process rights wrapped up in the guise of convenience.
And it always is.
Well, we don't want to inconvenience the government.
We don't want the government to have to go through any extra steps.
Let's just let them do whatever they want.
The regulatory removal of due process began long ago with the IRS.
It's now present in every one of these alphabet agencies.
And it is something that has been weaponized with civil asset forfeiture.
By allowing the IRS to bypass due process, to impose tax liens without any oversight, the government is creating an environment where special interests and bureaucrats can exploit and punish taxpayers as they see fit in a politically weaponized environment.
Of course, it will be politically weaponized as well.
While the program's supporters argue that it just makes the audit process simpler and increases the ease of tax collection, this is to benefit Not we the people, but they the government.
It ignores the fundamental principles of due process and the rights of taxpayers to be treated fairly and justly, but it's so much more efficient.
Elon Musk and Trump would love this, right?
Because it's sufficient.
Sufficient for government.
But it's not sufficient for the Constitution.
None of this stuff is.
The direct, or I should say, the Constitution is not sufficient for it.
The direct file program is an extreme conflict of interest, where the fox isn't just guarding the hen house, but making himself all too comfortable, they say.
The IRS Overreach Prevention Act is definitely a small step, but it's in the right direction.
And, of course, the direction is to get back and get away from regulation without representation.
Confiscation without due process.
That's another one I should add.
I don't need to do a t-shirt.
No taxation without representation.
No regulation without representation.
No confiscation without due process.
While it doesn't address the larger concerns for the IRS as a whole, says Mises, Nor does it hold them accountable for their egregious behavior in the past.
It is a small step, but it's something we could do anyway.
And again, this is not limited, unfortunately, anymore to the IRS.
During the mask mania of 2020 and 2021, we had people on airplanes getting $20,000 fines because they didn't want to wear a mask and because they argued with the petty little tyrant flight attendants.
I've got power.
I've got power.
I can tell you what I want to do.
Murray Rothbard said the state is a bandit.
And the only way to deal with it is to resist its encroachments and to defend one's own rights and properties.
Why, Sanders Spooner, I mentioned earlier, said the government is like a highway robber.
But unlike a highway robber, it doesn't just steal your purse, it then follows you down the highway nagging you about everything else.
That's an apt description.
Of course, he said that.
Middle of the 1800s.
While the IRS Overreach Prevention Act won't address IRS behavior as a whole, it may stop the rolling train long enough to rein in an expansion.
But of course, this is the proverbial train that runs on time from the Nazis, isn't it?
And if you're going to create an IRS that is seven times larger than it is, we need to worry about where that train is taking us.
And we've got to stop that train, but all these people are asleep.
They're so addicted to theft with civil asset forfeiture that we just this week had the U.S.
sanction the Venezuelan government and they stole their equivalent.
They had a private jet that Maduro ran around on.
It wasn't as big as Air Force One, but it was a private jet.
It was essentially their Air Force One that the president would take around.
They seized it.
At an airport at the Dominican Republic.
And when they did it, they ironically said, no one is above the law.
Highway robbers, bandits, whatever, they're just stealing whatever they want.
I'm surprised the hypocrisy didn't kill them outright.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, it was hypocrisy, not irony when they said that, isn't it?
They even got that wrong in the Zero Hedge article.
But yeah, nobody is above the law.
What law?
It's a law to yourself.
You're lawless.
You're dictators.
The law is in your mouth.
The law is in your gun when you rob people like that.
They just do this everywhere.
Most people would call it theft, and many people did call it theft.
Except for, guess who?
Eric Prince, the Blackwater mercenary leader.
A big Trump insider.
He applauded it.
He thought it was great to steal that from them.
You know, the U.S.
wanted to confiscate all the Russian assets.
They got, I don't know, $300 billion, $350 billion that they just seized when they did it in the financial system.
They said, that's ours now, shut it down.
And this is why everybody is starting to flee the U.S.
dollar, because that's what the federal government did.
And, you know, you can't trust the system anymore.
It's completely corrupt.
It's a thieving system.
They showed the criminality of the U.S.
government.
They showed the untrustworthiness of all these institutions that we've created.
And so everybody's looking at it, saying, we need to go somewhere else, do something else.
BRICS, you've even got Turkey that's in NATO talking about getting into BRICS.
So people understand how criminal the American government has become.
But you know, they do this with sanctions all the time.
They wanted the U.S.
government, with the money that they had frozen from Russia, to show everybody how corrupt our institutions are, and that the American government is nothing but a bunch of unchecked thieves, a cartel, a gang.
So they said, well, you know, we're going to keep that money.
We're going to keep all that money.
And the Europeans balked at that.
They said, no, let's not do that.
Even the EU didn't want to rise to the criminality of the U.S.
government, and so they said, let's just keep the interest on the amount, but we'll still keep the funds frozen.
And the U.S.
is like, no, let's steal it all!
Well, one of the reasons that the EU, and not because they're good guys or moral people, one of the reasons that they didn't want to do that is because even though we've got sanctions on Russian oil, we didn't just sanction the money that they had in banks, financial institutions internationally.
But we also sanctioned oil and things like that, that they sold.
And as I pointed out, that was a windfall profit for Russia, because what that did when we put in those Russian oil sanctions, it just made the price of oil skyrocket everywhere.
And Russia continued to sell oil, but instead of getting dollars, they got gold for it.
We really showed them a lesson, didn't we?
And so now, uh, here's where we are, you know, even in the European union, they're still buying Russian oil that is supposedly sanctioned by the U S and not only that, but they're buying more Russian oil than they are buying American oil.
They bought 12.7 billion cubic meters.
I'm sorry, this is not oil, this is gas.
But the same story with the oil.
They're able to sell the oil other places.
This is gas.
Even though we blew up the pipeline, right?
Two of them.
Even though we did that.
They're still getting more gas from Russia, 12.7 billion cubic meters, than from the United States, 12.3 billion cubic meters.
And of course that's one of the reasons why that pipeline was blown up, for economic reasons.
The US wanted to make EU completely dependent on us for energy.
And that's one of the reasons why they blew that up.
But even blowing up Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2, Europeans are still getting more gas from Russia than from the United States.
Even though it's supposed to be sanctioned as well.
Sanctions, sabotage, you know, the rest of it.
People are starting to see what the United States government truly is everywhere.
It's not a question anymore.
Rumble, Radisbro, thank you very much for the tip.
If birth rates are falling below replacement levels, who is the affordable childcare for?
Who are they building all these schools for?
Yeah, that's for the replacement.
There you go.
It's not a replacement of Americans with the birth rates, but it's a replacement of Americans with citizens from other countries.
That's what they're doing.
And so that's, that's a good point.
The schools and the childcare will be for the great replacers who are coming in.
Cause you know, Americans are garbage.
It's the replacers that are great.
We were told that over and over again.
They're so much better than us.
Matter of fact, Musk and Vivek, Vivek, Ramaswami were saying that when the two of them got together.
Oh, yeah, let's get more more workers.
These Americans are awful.
Well, maybe they're right, but this is America and you came here and you're profiting off of it.
Because you're getting subsidies and other things like that, these grifting billionaires coming in as part of the, you know, to rob this country.
On Rockfan, Amos Poole, thank you very much.
I appreciate it, and thank you for telling us about the vitamin C and some other things like that.
I asked for a prayer for my other son earlier this week, and he's not out of the woods yet, but he's better.
So I thank everybody for praying for him.
He says, like politics, go local for your food.
Yes.
Found an Amish book butcher who grows and butchers pork and beef.
Half a steer cuts from ground beef to steaks cost me $4.13 per pound.
Oh, that's amazing.
That's amazing.
And I don't think that I would seriously not be surprised if the Amish farmer had some kind of a CRISPR genetic thing going on in his barn.
I don't think they're into CRISPR yet.
I don't think they ever will be.
So good for them and good.
I'm glad to see that you got that.
We're gonna take a quick break.
We'll be right back.
So, what's the plan?
I don't know.
Making Sense, Common Again.
You're listening to the David Knight Show.
Well I want to talk about some of the issues as we get out from underneath these people, some of the things that transcend this.
But before we do, just real quickly, As I said earlier, when I was talking about the UN and their plans to completely redesign the financial system, everybody's got an idea how they want to redesign the financial system.
And so what are you going to do to maintain that parallel system yourself?
Well, you need to start thinking about how you're going to get outside of their control grid that they're going to impose on everybody with a global CBDC.
And again, it will most likely be put in at the same time, close to the same time by all these different nations, and then they will make them interoperable.
In other words, they won't come in and say, well, here is the Now, here's the seat of the new global government, and show us a building and a throne.
No, it'll be a network.
It'll be global governance, just like they will network together these central bank digital currencies and things like that.
So if you want to get out of that system, to me, that's the key thing.
Yeah, we're looking at inflation coming up.
Who knows what's going to happen with that?
A lot of economic uncertainty.
They have created a sword of Damocles, or a dam, if you will, that's about to burst.
So it's a hedge against that.
We've seen that type of thing happen in the past.
But this is a new kind of threat that we haven't seen before as they redesign this financial system.
So if you want to get outside of that, The thing to do is the same thing that they're doing, which is accumulating gold.
And you can do that at Tony Aardman's Wise Wolf Gold.
Just go to davidknight.gold.
That'll take you to Tony's site and let him know that you came through us.
And you can buy gold or silver.
At large or small transaction, he'll support and even supports people buying it on a monthly basis in small or large amounts.

And you can then participate in the group by discounts that are part of Wolfpack.
So go to davidknight.gold for gold, silver, or for a group savings plan that he has set up there, where you can get the group discounts.
All that at davidknight.gold.
By the way, I also remind you, as we said before, if you'll like and share the program, that helps us a great deal.
You can also find our program on Roku.
We are now on Roku.
You can look for The David Knight Show on Roku or search for it in your search engine.
If you find it there, please like the show there.
That'll help us to get some visibility there on Roku as well.
So, we're going to, we'll come back, Gerald, by the way, is going to be our guest today in the third hour.
Gerald Salenti, Trends Journal.
And I'll just mention real quickly, you can get a 10% discount with the code KNIGHT at TrendsJournal.com.
We'll be talking about what he sees as coming in these last couple weeks of this election.
Is the global economy going to bounce back?
More companies see AI as more risk than benefit now.
So things are starting to flip on that.
So we'll talk to Gerald about all that stuff when he comes on.
On Rockfin, Wes Robertson says, are we sanctioning Russia's uranium sales to the US and Britain?
Nope.
And how much of that uranium is from the theft of Uranium One scandal, like Hillary Clinton's red button reset with Russia?
That's a good point, yeah.
Yeah, Uranium One and the Bidens and the Clintons and all of that, yeah.
Well, this is an amazing story, and it's one that I was aware of.
It took about a year for this to go through.
This is a guy who was a street preacher.
He was affiliated with a church in Arizona.
And he would go out and do some street preaching, and then he would, he goes back, he was working at the church there, had a family and everything, and he didn't know what had happened, but he couldn't stand, he just dropped to his feet, and then he stood up and started to, he said, well, I gotta go back, and so he walks to where his wife is, and his brother-in-law, And when he gets there, he's bleeding all over the place.
You'll see the pictures of it.
Bleeding from his head.
And they're like, you know, what's going on?
He couldn't even talk.
And then he went into seizures and everything.
He had been shot.
Somebody shot him in the head.
This is his story.
If you're stuck in sin, you're stuck in the way that you're living.
You'll find Han Schmidt, microphone in hand, at the corner of 51st and Peoria Avenues.
You can have hope in Jesus.
This November night, Schmidt's street preaching ended abruptly.
I remember falling to my knee, and then after that I was like, oh, something's not right.
I grabbed all my gear, put it back in the car.
I drove my car back to church.
Coherent, but confused, the father of two was planning to attend Wednesday worship yards away at Victory Chapel.
He just, like, comes to the car and, like, I remember just seeing, like, blood, and I'm like, what happened?
What happened?
And in my head I was saying, like, I'm not okay.
I wasn't speaking.
You weren't speaking?
There's no words coming out.
Her brother George was like, let's take him to the hospital and luckily he did because that's when, on the way there, I started seizing.
Hans arrived unresponsive at the hospital.
Doctors uncovering the catastrophic cause of his collapse.
The CT scan was what revealed that there was actually a bullet.
Even the neurosurgeon was like, there's like Nothing we can do.
The detective told you, like, we'll know more after the autopsy.
Like, that's what the detective told her.
Like, I was gonna die.
Doctors and detectives believed death was inevitable.
Paralyzed in her own right, Zulia faithfully did what she could for her husband.
A lot of, like, pleading to God, like, please, like, please leave him.
Like, no matter how you leave him, but please leave him.
Praying, like, God, if you can raise dry bones, why not him?
There's so many, like, people that are miracles, and I'm like, why not him?
After speaking with his wife, they are just praying Katie for a miracle.
Yeah, we'll stay on this case for sure.
Christine, thank you.
News traveled from the valley to around the world.
Prayers poured into Hans and his new family of four for just an ounce of light of hope.
They would do tests on him to see if he was responsive and many times they were like he's not responsive.
Hans was placed on life support in a medically induced coma.
Those days felt really long.
So I was scared that I'd never hear his voice again.
But as each hour, each day passed, that miracle began to take form.
Bedside one month later, Hans looked at his wife and breathed.
And then he's like, it's fine.
And I was like, what?
You just spoke.
And I was like, Hans, you just spoke!
And I was super stoked about it.
My goodness, Zoe.
The next month, in January, Hans would walk and open his front door, greeted by little hands and feet.
What's it like to come home to your wife and your two babies every day?
It's a miracle.
Absolutely a miracle.
What I think is just so incredible is that we're sitting here having a full-fledged conversation.
If I was just meeting you for the first time, I would have no idea that this has happened within a year.
That's incredible.
I should not be alive.
Realistically, I should be dead.
And because his grace and his love, I'm still here.
The bullet path through my brain.
Like, it's a straight line, straight, like, all the way through, went in here.
It's still over here.
Hans shows me his secret.
Just like your children, you're learning how to talk and was walking also a journey too?
the lead fragments still live in his brain today. Doctors tell him it's too risky to operate to remove what's left.
Just like your children, you're learning how to talk and was walking also a journey too?
He had to relearn everything.
For my PT, they always put me on the treadmill.
Like I'm always running.
You're running?
Yeah, I go running for my PT.
Hans' recovery includes daily speech and occupational therapy.
He tells me he's eager to get back to work and doctors say he should be able to return to a somewhat normal life.
The simplicity of normal is all he and his wife have prayed for.
Side by side, they take me back to the corner where he was shot nine months ago.
I'm so grateful.
She's been my rock.
He stands with both feet at 51st and Peoria Avenues, ready to share his new testimony, knowing the person who fired the weapon is still out there.
Yet Hans fearlessly and peacefully already made his decision.
I don't think that holding a grudge against him is going to change anything.
I think it's important to forgive people.
And so, yeah, I've forgiven him.
In Glendale, every day is a blessing because I'm still here.
Christine Stanwood, ABC 15 Arizona.
Boy, I remember that story when it happened, and I remember the first reports that came out of it, and she was so positive and so full of faith, and so many people were praying for him.
That's the issue there.
We don't know how God works, right?
Coach Joe Kennedy, Who, if you recall, he was somebody that was fired because after the game he would go out by himself.
He didn't have the kids.
His team was not required to join him or anything.
And he went out and silently kneeled down on the 50-yard line and would pray after the game.
And that got him fired.
And he said in a recent interview, he said that he's very concerned about religious liberty, but he also says God uses the least likely people for things.
He said like me, for example.
He says, I don't know why God does what he does, none of us do, and I was the least likely person that I thought God would ever want to do anything with.
In 2015, he faced suspension and was eventually terminated simply because he kneeled in prayer silently at the 50-yard line after the game.
And so he took it to court, and he lost seven times at court before he finally got to the Supreme Court.
And the Supreme Court said, no, he's right.
That was his only win.
Took it all the way to the Supreme Court, lost in all these other cases, and that ordeal in and of itself, if you stop and think about it, that was a much more important victory because by losing seven times, he was able to get to the Supreme Court where he got a victory, and the victory was also a precedent.
that was set, that overturned a precedent going back to 1971.
And one of the things I find interesting about this is that these seven lower courts all believed that a Supreme Court decision from 1971 was more important than a clear reading of the Constitution.
Isn't that interesting?
You see, that's how we lose our rights in this country.
What they're doing by setting, you know, by setting the court precedent above a clear reading of the Constitution or an interest in individual rights or whatever, by doing that, What they're essentially doing is nullifying the Constitution and making our rights dependent upon an established tradition done by government institutions.
That's the way it's done in the UK.
That's the way it's done in England.
England doesn't have a written Constitution.
They just have a whole string of traditions that they've strung together.
And those can change at any point in time.
The reason we have a Constitution is because we wanted a republic.
We have a Constitution because the founders of this country wanted the rule of law.
But we've thrown the rule of law out and we just hang on the decisions of whatever and the arbitrary, capricious actions of a Supreme Court that is not bound by reason or by law or by the Constitution.
And so that's one of the aspects of this that I think is important.
The other aspect of this, and of course the precedent that they overturned from 1971, was a case called Lemon v. Kurtzman, and it established a three-pronged Lemon Test.
The Lemon Test had allowed the government to be involved in religion only if it served a secular purpose, did not inhibit or advance religion, and did not result in excessive entanglement of church and state.
Well, that's fine, but this is not about the government.
You see, the key issue here is that just because you work for the government doesn't mean that your religious liberties are now removed.
This is not an official government action.
Just because he was a teacher, Doesn't mean that he can't silently pray.
That's absurd!
And yet, that is precisely what these other groups are trying to do.
This all came about because a local Satanist club opposed him.
But you also have this organization that goes around opposing Christians called the Freedom From Religion Organization.
And that's not what the Constitution says.
The Constitution says we have the free exercise of religion, not freedom from religion.
But they don't want America.
They don't want a Constitution, the Constitution.
They want to have their way.
their way is one of censorship, of removing religious liberty, and you know those issues are right there in the First Amendment tied together because freedom of religion is really the reason that we have free speech. And I've said this before, when you look at free speech, don't talk to me about all these other side issues that are out there if you're going to ignore free speech in the political sphere, especially in the religious sphere.
Because the religious sphere and religious persecution is the reason why they put it in there.
But they also wanted to be able to have political debate.
And to be able to protest and redress their grievances with the government without facing criminal charges.
This has always been the case.
So, it has always been political and religious speech that has been the most oppressed.
And that's why they put these two together in the very first part of the Bill of Rights.
The very first amendment.
So, in 2022, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in favor of Kennedy.
We know who those three are.
The three that were appointed, two by Obama and one by Biden, to uphold the First Amendment and the constitutional right of government school employees to engage in brief personal private prayer.
How could you justify taking that away from somebody?
Again, you don't lose your religious liberties because you work for the government.
That's what they said based on the 1971 decision, but that's not the Constitution.
He said, this is something I did not want, something I did not ask for.
And this whole entire time, he said, I've been dragging my feet on it and saying, God, I don't want to go through this.
But he does the most incredible things with idiots like me.
He said, so imagine what he can do with you.
That's how cool this is.
If he picks me to do something so great, of changing the nation in our religious liberties, imagine what we could do as just individual families, individual groups, individual companies out there, individual churches.
It sounds like he's focused on the local level, don't you think?
What if we change ourselves as individuals, as families, as communities, as churches, instead of worrying about what's going to happen in the Oval Office?
I'm telling you, it's going to be war against us regardless of who wins.
You better start building your defenses locally for what's coming, regardless.
And don't get yourself so caught up in all this stuff that you want to have a civil war based on the outcome.
We can change the entire United States, he said, back to where we were if we just do what we're supposed to do.
It's just that simple.
But everybody's so focused on the presidential race, I say.
Kennedy also claimed that the original complaint against him came from a member of a local satanic group.
According to CBS News, members of the Seattle chapter of the satanic temple showed up at the football field to protest.
They were decked out in robes while spreading incense around.
The Seattle chapter of the Satanic Temple had 42 members at the time and used his public prayer as a reason to request invoking the devil on the field after the game, reported CBS.
They said at the time, it'll definitely be a theatrical production.
Robes, incense, we've got a gong, said the head of the Satanic Temple chapter, who calls herself Lilith Star.
You can bet that's not her real name.
Yeah, just like Lucian Greaves, not his real name.
So, Kennedy recalled that the students that were there pushed back against this and shouted down the Satanists with chants of Jesus.
Because, you see, this is not a religion.
I've said this over and over again.
The Satanic temple and their after-school Satan clubs and everything, they don't believe this stuff.
This is not a religion.
They don't believe it.
This is a mockery.
It is opposition.
It is a protest of other people's free exercise of their religion.
They don't have a religion.
They want to stop you.
And this is no different than the Antifa people who showed up when Karen was protesting the abortion clinic.
There were a group of people protesting the abortion clinic in Austin.
Then they had signs, Stop Black Genocide, and these people showed up, these communists, and they had black signs, completely blacked out, you know, because they want to redact what you've got.
They've got nothing to say.
Nothing to say.
And so they show up with a sign, and they put their sign in front of your sign, so people can't see it.
So when they go high, Karen goes low.
It goes down and then she goes up and then he goes up and they're going back like this with a sign.
And so, you know, they don't have a religion.
They don't have a belief.
They want to stop what you say.
They don't have it.
You see this at all of their protests.
They have nothing to say.
They don't want to debate you.
They don't want to explain to you what they're doing.
They just scream racist or this, you know, and, and shut you down.
We've seen it over and over again.
People say, well, why are you here?
What do you want?
Shut up, racist!
You know, and all this kind of stuff.
They don't have anything to say.
They just want to stop you from saying anything.
They just want to censor people.
They should not be encouraged.
They should not be treated with any respect.
They're not out there trying to exercise in their free exercise of religion.
No, they don't have religion.
And they are not trying to speak about anything.
So the First Amendment does not protect them whatsoever.
These people are anti-Christ.
They don't have religion, except they're just in opposition to Christ.
He said a kid jumped up on a rock, and he had a cross, and the whole entire school district was chanting, Jesus, Jesus.
He said, you can't make this stuff up, despite his opposition to the Satanists.
They were anti-anti-Christ.
Despite his victory, he said he's very terrified of the prospect of diminishing religious freedom in the U.S.
Before his ordeal, Kennedy said he didn't understand how much power was given to the judicial branches.
He says, and that scares me.
That really scared me.
See, that's one of the things that the Satanic Temple and all these liberal censors need to think about.
When you take down what really is the foundation of free political speech, Which is the free exercise of religion.
Every time the Satanists are going around, they're trying to shut down the free exercise of religion.
Well, that's eventually going to come back around to them as well.
They're going to live in that Soviet communist style system, which maybe that's what they want, since they just hate humanity.
But anyway, he says, we are not called to win the fight, he said.
He quoted, he said, The verse that sustained him, he said, I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
He says, we're not called to win the fight.
We're called to fight the good fight.
We're called to finish the race.
And we're called to remain faithful.
And he said, when I get to heaven, I want God to look at me and say, hey, you did all right.
He said, during the fight, It got very difficult for him personally.
He said losing everything was a major lesson in his life journey.
It brought him in touch with a testimony of Peter, but also caused him to clash with his wife.
He said when they met, he was an atheist, and he was still an atheist when he married a Christian woman.
But eventually, he became a Christian.
He said, but the battle that he faced strained their relationship.
He said, during the fight, I had to sit there and rely just on my relationship with God because I had nothing else.
I didn't even have my wife on my side.
My wife worked for the school district.
She was the human resources director.
Dividing us under.
I don't come for peace on this earth.
I'll have people in the same family, even a person who says that she follows Christ, was angry at him.
Because Christ was not her God.
Her job was her God.
But not him.
Kind of reminded me of Job.
Job, God takes everything away from him, except his wife.
Who says, curse God and die.
You know, that's her advice to him.
She was there as an additional problem.
But yeah, he said, those who might face repercussions at their workplace, he said, for your beliefs, he says, you be the light.
You don't have to take them to court.
You don't have to fight eight years on it, he said.
But again, he kept his eye on Christ.
He did it for that.
And, you know, I think one of the key things that he had to say, he said, we're not called to win the fight.
Do you hear that, MAGA Christians?
Do you hear that all you pastors out there telling everybody, well, you know, we, we, we got to vote for Trump.
Because, you know, we got to win this election.
Don't get hung up on some individual issue like, you know, the ripping apart of babies or the mass murder with vaccines or the communist totalitarian lockdown against the Constitution.
Don't get caught up on these silly issues.
Come on, you purity people.
We need to win.
OK, what does win mean?
Now, you're not called to win.
And I don't mind the label of purity.
I embrace that.
I aspire to that.
And you should, too.
You should aspire to be pure.
And you should reject these people.
Come on, just do this or just do that.
It's not important.
Be part of the crowd.
Come on, you know?
You don't want their praise.
You don't want their respect.
Woe to you if you have it, quite frankly.
These types of people who would say something like that, I don't want their respect.
If I get their respect, it starts to worry me.
You should be the kind of person that they hate when they do that kind of stuff.
So, yeah, all you pastors out there and evangelists and everything, a lot of them, big names, a lot of them have seminaries.
Oh, yeah, you got to vote for Trump, all this kind of stuff, because we got to win.
We're not called to win.
We're called to fight the fight.
We're called to stay pure.
We're called to stand on principle.
Because that's the only way that you're going to really win in the long run.
Before we have our guests come on.
Oh, I've got a lot of comments here.
Let me get to those.
Little John requests a Smokey's bumper before Joel comes on.
Will do.
Okay.
And on Rumble.
Princess Wrong Thanks says, I can't wait to vote Trump harder 2024.
I want Trump and I want him harder.
Yeah, be careful what you ask for.
You might get it and you might get it really hard.
On Rumble, AP Rumble Seat says, they have no right to control prayer or religious belief.
It's bogus, but if they can get away with it, they'll go more aggressive.
Take what legal action you can and unite.
And again, you look at that woman at the abortion clinic in the UK, standing there silently praying.
She was arrested three times.
She took them to court.
They shut it down.
She's getting money from them.
But they're still going to come back, and their response, they're relentless, and we have to be relentless as well.
The price of liberty is eternal vigilance, and it's eternal war.
Eternal war against every form of tyranny, against the mind of man, as Thomas Jefferson has said and is inscribed there at the Jefferson Memorial in Washington.
Yeah.
Eternal hostility to every form of tyranny of the mind of man.
And that's exactly what's going on in the UK right now, because that local jurisdiction that arrested that woman three times for silently praying says, well, now we need to put that in the law, that you can't silently pray.
I got to fight that.
I absolutely got to fight that.
On Rumble, Bheathman, thank you very much.
That is very generous.
I appreciate that tip.
Thank you.
Gates of Hell will not prevail.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Let's talk about...
Just saw this news article popped up. MIT chemist explained why dinosaur collagen may have survived for millions of years.
All right.
No, according to their dates, this soft tissue survived for 200 million years.
Please explain that to me.
It's such an interesting thing, isn't it?
How did that happen?
Well, again, when you start to understand how they date things, it is circular logic.
You know?
And the same kind of circular logic we were talking about with the viruses and everything.
What they do is they say, well, okay, we know how old this dinosaur is because we found them buried at this level in the strata, right?
These different strata.
And they say, well, the strata is based on, these are laid down over long periods of time, gradually laid down over long periods of time, and we're going to date these fossils by where we find them in the strata.
Okay, well, there's a couple of problems with that.
You come back and you say, well, how do you know how old each of these strata are?
Well, we know that because of the dinosaurs that we found in there.
That's literally their logic.
Circular logic.
And there's a couple of problems with that.
Number one, there's a big assumption there.
That these things were always laid down gradually.
And if you look at, say, Mount St.
Helens when it blew up, it laid down a multi-strata event.
It looks very much like the fossil record.
But we know, and we've seen this many different times, not just there, but many different times, we know that that was not a lot of different layers that were laid down over a long period of time, but it was a lot of layers that were laid down over a very short period of time in a catastrophic way.
Now, there's absolutely no basis for them to say that this happened over a long period of time rather than over a short period of time.
Furthermore, supporting the idea that this is done very rapidly, you have a lot of what they call polystrata events.
So you might have a tree that is buried vertically.
And so that tree was standing for hundreds of millions of years, I guess.
Right?
Or maybe it was laid down as some kind of a rapidly advancing polystratic event.
But it creates a real big problem for them when they find dinosaur fossils, and they're finding quite a few of them now because they, for the first time, looked.
When they started excavating fossils and looking at them, they assumed that these things didn't have any tissue in them, and they would run them through various vats and stuff to clean them up and everything.
And that all changed.
At one point in time, they were doing a dig in Montana, and they had a bone that was too big for them to get into the helicopter, so they broke it in half to get it to fit.
And when they broke it in half, they could see red stuff in there, and it had marrow inside that dinosaur bone.
It's like, how did that happen?
This is supposed to be, you know, tens or hundreds of millions of years old.
And it was, I remember when it happened, the early 2000s, It was an NC State.
We were living in North Carolina.
That was in Raleigh.
It was an NC State professor that that happened to.
And one of the things that they said was, you know, well, we've just never looked before.
Well, it's just assumed that there wasn't anything there.
Well, now MIT, after all this time, has come up with an explanation, they said.
It's from MIT News.
Collagen, a protein found in bones and connective tissue, has been found in dinosaur fossils as old as 195 million years.
Again, based on their dating methods.
That far exceeds the normal half-life of the peptide bonds that hold proteins together, which is only about 500 years.
So every 500 years, it should be cut in half.
Well, you can do the math.
What would be left after 200 million years?
Nothing.
They found, when they looked at it, they found a special atomic-level interaction.
Defends collagen from attack by water molecules.
The barrier prevents water from breaking the peptide bonds through a process called hydrolysis.
This flies in the face of what happens with a normal peptide bond, which has a half-life of only 500 years, they said.
Well, I don't know.
You know, when we look at this, in the past, I said, paleobiologists have found evidence of this preserved in a lot of different dinosaurs.
One was 200 million years old.
Another one was 80 million years old, as they date.
But why isn't it more common?
Well, it's not more common because they're not looking at it, because they do things to process the bones that would destroy the soft tissue.
And it was only when she broke it that they started looking.
And now they've seen it quite often.
Soft tissue, though rarely recovered, have lost their original revealing form.
They said this is going back to 2005.
The 70-million-year-old Tyrannosaurus rex recently discovered in Montana apparently yielded improbable soft tissues, including blood vessels, And the possibility of cells that retain some of the original flexibility, elasticity, and resilience.
And this got a lot of coverage because this is Dr. Mary Schweitzer of North Carolina State.
Got a lot of coverage because they said, are we going to be able to extract DNA and do a Jurassic Park?
They said an examination with a scanning electron microscope showed the dinosaur blood vessels to be virtually indistinguishable from what they would recover from ostrich bones.
But they have to hold on to the long dates as at all costs.
And they will reinterpret everything in terms of that, even though that's derived from circular logic.
There's a lot of different ways that you can date the earth.
And there's only a couple of them.
We make some assumptions that give you that old age.
All the rest of them give you a very young age when you look at the science behind it.
So that was found in 2003 in Montana and they said they had to break it to get it to fit into the helicopter.
But when they looked at it in 2013, eight years later, I'm sorry, ten years later, ten years later.
And so here we are another ten years and we got another explanation.
They had, it took them 10 years to come up with an explanation about that because, you know, our dating methods cannot be reconsidered.
The science is settled on that.
And so they played around with it 10 years.
So it was done in 2013 by 2003.
By 2013, controversial T-Rex soft tissue is finally explained.
And in this particular one, they said it was because of the presence of iron.
They said, iron is highly reactive with other molecules, so the body keeps it locked up tight bound to molecules that prevent it from wreaking havoc on the tissue.
So how would that do it?
And they said, so basically it kind of works like a formaldehyde.
Well, why wouldn't it do that with all of them?
And so that was the explanation they came up with ten years after that.
And evidently there was, they thought that there were some problems with that because now they've come up with a different explanation ten years after that.
It's always interesting to see that, and it's another lesson about how science is never settled and is rarely right.
But we have another dinosaur that's been discovered.
This one called Hillary Rex.
Hillary Clinton, Hillary and Bill are now producers, you know, like the Obamas.
I guess that's what you do now as a retired Democrat.
You do speeches and you make millions of dollars and then you do propaganda movies wherever your causes are.
And so that's what they're doing.
So she went to the Telluride Film Festival and this dinosaur and her ancient ideas She was still grifting on the Handmaid's Tale.
And, you know, that has been so beloved by the left, by radical feminists, especially the abortionists and everything.
I think it's kind of ironic.
The Handmaid's Tale is literally like an IQ check.
Anybody that takes it seriously or posts about it, you can just dismiss.
Oh, you're dumb.
I don't have to worry about you.
Just ignore.
They really do love it, and I remember when they were locking us down in 2020, you know, and they had protests going on with this stuff, and I think it was during the summer they had people dressing up in handmade tail outfits and everything.
I said, that's not nearly as oppressive and repressive and restrictive as these masks and the personal protection equipment and things that they had us wearing.
You know, go ahead and dress us up like handmaids. That's not nearly as bad.
One of the funniest things when I ever see the Handmaid's Tale, it always gets my attention because they made the movie that had Robert Duvall in it in Research Triangle Park when we were there.
And so Karen, you know, we had a video store.
We did movies and everything.
She wanted to be an extra.
She saw this thing about an extra.
So I was like, sign up for that.
She didn't know anything about the book Handmaid's Tale.
This is so antithetical to anything that we believe.
She didn't know anything about it or Margaret Atwood or anything like that.
So she shows up and it was just this horrible experience.
She quit after one day.
They had her standing in the sun all day.
She got a severe sunburn.
She had to wear this scratchy...
Uh, outfit that was like burlap bags and everything, you know, as part of the lower life females that they were mistreating and everything.
And, um, and it was, it was just an awful experience, but, and it was an awful movie.
Movie really bombed is probably the worst movie Robert Duvall's ever been in.
But anyway, so she was pushing this and she decided, um, during an appearance of the Telluride film festival.
She promoted her new abortion-themed documentary called Zorowski vs. Texas.
I'm sure that's going to be a big box office hit.
What's playing this weekend, darling?
Well, there's Zurofsky versus Texas.
This is not some kind of money laundering scheme.
We promise.
Yeah, exactly.
I think I'll pass on that.
And she had the audacity.
I'm sure it's a documentary that maybe five people max will see, and they'll be the people who made it.
At the Telluride Film Festival, Breitbart reports, Hillary exhorted the sympathetic audience to, quote, get back to a time when your government is not determining what your choices for your family will be.
Which is just so Handmaid's Tale.
Yeah, talk to us about what happened in 2020 and 2021, where you're determining what the choices for our family is going to be.
I don't think we can underestimate how important this film is in order to break through the eye-rolling, the denial, the dismissiveness, the cruelty that has affected so many women's lives in our country today, says Hillary Clinton, who called, who did the eye-rolling, the denial and the dismissiveness of the people that her husband had cruelly treated.
She called them bimbos.
Trailer trash, all the rest of this stuff.
People who had very credible allegations of violent sexual assault, and of rape, and many other things.
She did the eye-rolling, the denial, the dismissiveness about the cruelty of her husband.
Yeah, that's where these people are coming from.
Well, we've got Gerald Cilenti has joined us, and we're going to take a quick break.
Frank will be right back.
Welcome to the show.
music
you're listening to the David night show go.
All right, welcome back, and joining us now is Gerald Salenti.
Always great to have Gerald join us on every other Friday.
And he has Trends Journal.
If you go to Trends Journal, you can see a sample of the Trends Journal, an amazing publication, usually about 300 pages that are there.
I think we got—that's the wrong screen we got there.
There we go.
That's a good screen.
We had the wrong one there for a moment.
But you can see, and he's got right now Occupy Peace and Freedom.
He's got a countdown clock for when that's going to happen at the end of the month.
But you can see a sample of some of the articles that are covered, comprehensive and really focused on the things that are going to affect us in the economy, in geopolitics.
That's what we're going to talk to Gerald about today.
And you can use the code Knight to save 10% off.
And it is a bargain at that rate, but very, very comprehensive.
It's a weekly publication, online magazine, a wonderful layout, and always very inventive covers that are there.
So thank you for joining us, Gerald.
Appreciate you coming on.
Thank you.
You know, you were talking about COVID before, and don't forget, you know, to wear these masks.
I still wear them everywhere I go.
Oh yeah, love them.
And don't forget, when you masturbate, don't forget to sanitize your hands.
Look at this stupid crap that they sold, they shoved down our throat.
Here, this is the box.
This is the box, right?
Right.
Yeah.
These masks, Do not eliminate exposure to the risk of any disease or infection.
But you better wear the damn thing.
All right?
Because if you don't wear it, you're not going to get on the airplane.
But when you're eating and drinking, you can take the mask off because COVID knows when you're eating and drinking, it won't bother you.
And when you walk into that, uh, Restaurant, you better wear that mask.
But when you sit down and eat, you could take it off, because COVID does not go at table length.
And remember, stand six feet apart, because the wind blows exactly in straight lines every six feet.
Now you do what I tell you.
And if you don't believe the crap spewing out of my political mouth, you believe in misinformation.
I tell ya, I've had that experience.
I went full Gerald Cilenti on two restaurants that did that at various points in time.
When I was really angry, I lost it with him about that.
Are you kidding me?
Are you crazy?
And it's just so ridiculous.
The second time it happened, I wouldn't go to any of the chain restaurants because I knew these people don't care.
I'm going to do whatever they tell me to.
So I thought, well, maybe the owner is here.
Maybe he's got a brain, right?
So I said, bring me the owner.
I want to talk to the owner.
And I said to him, I said, you know, that this doesn't help.
And I said, look at the people who are sitting there.
How can you?
I know it doesn't work, but you got to do it anyway.
I said, no, I don't.
You'll never see me again.
But he was going to comply, you know?
And I said to him, you know, all the people comply.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I said to him, you know, it was Lennon who said, That the capitalists will sell the rope that she used to hang them.
I said you're one of those people.
It's just amazing to me to go back and look at that.
A lot of people just have walked away from this stuff, but they're ramping it up again.
In Atlanta, we have an EMS ambulance guy down there.
He's got his own substack now, handy.
He used to contact me a lot through all this stuff, and he just put up a report saying they're in Atlanta, where he works, in the hospitals where he goes in.
He said, two of these hospitals now have brought back the mask mandates for patients, for EMS workers and everything.
And he said, coincidentally, these two hospitals are right down the street from the CDC in Atlanta.
So yeah, stuff is not going away.
Yep.
Yeah.
So, the global economy.
What is going on with the global economy in the next couple of months?
What do you think is going to happen?
Pre-election.
Look at the data.
You know, you get the magazine, the Trends Journal.
I mean, it's one decline after another.
As a matter of fact, there's a couple of articles.
By the way, this is what I have to do.
We go all over the world and we see what they're saying and then we outline the salient points of the articles.
They go to the writers and then they write down what's being reported and then we give our trends analysis and trend forecasts.
So when you're looking at the data and what in the world is going on, housing affordability concerns reach record high.
Oh, that's in the Financial Times.
Oh, everything is just fine.
The plantation workers of Slavelandia can't afford anything because it's one after another Blackstone to acquire Australian data center for $16.1 billion.
Chesley FC buys one after another, one after another.
The bigs are buying up everything.
Blackstone and one billion dollar deal for logistics portfolio.
The bigs own everything in this country and around the world and we have become nothing more than plantation workers of slave landia.
So when you're asking me what's going on about The global economy, workers share of worldwide wealth.
falls further.
This is from the Financial Times yesterday.
So the plantation workers, us plantation workers of Slavelandia, are getting poorer as the rich keep getting richer.
Everything is owned by the bigs.
Oh yeah.
Again, when you and I were young men, there were hardware stores, grocery stores, stationery stores, drug stores, and now they're all chains.
Yes, that's right.
The land of opportunity is gone, all right?
U.S.
bank profits overcome dragon credit cards and office loans.
This is how they downplay what's going on with the office loans.
This is from Bloomberg yesterday.
And The number of so-called problem banks went up from three.
This is the language that they use.
So-called problem banks.
Who the hell are you talking to?
What do you mean so-called?
How about problem banks?
No, no.
So-called.
Now, you listen to me.
You are still in kindergarten.
Time to take a nap.
I'm not tired.
Time to take a nap.
You gotta take a nap at this time, all right?
We're still in kindergarten.
This is the crap language they spew out.
It went from three now to 66 banks.
Wow.
Because of the commercial real estate crisis that no one, anywhere, any place is talking about other than the Trans-Journal.
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah, it reminds me of that movie that was done after the fact.
Maybe you can recall, Travis, the one where they're talking about the 2008 real estate market, the big, what was it?
The big crash.
And you had the people who had identified, there was a couple of the characters in it.
The big short.
Big short.
Thank you.
Yeah.
The big short.
You ever see that, Gerald?
They're going around and you know, they, these guys, a couple of guys saw what was going on and they're going around trying to tell people this and nobody wants to hear it.
And they just completely ignore it.
And it's like, and then they start altering the information that's being passed around.
And that's really where we are right now with the commercial real estate thing.
You know, it's just like it was with the real estate crash, you know, that nobody wanted to hear it.
Nobody wanted to talk about it.
The data is right there.
And they're saying, look, but look at this.
No, no, we're not going to pay any attention to that.
No.
Yeah.
By the way, I was on with Peter Schiff on ABC Nightly News in 2007.
Warning about the crash, I took out the domain name, Panic of 08 in 2007.
We go on ABC, he and I, and they tried to make us look stupid.
And they got two of the wrong guys.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I took out the domain name, The Panic of 08 in 2007.
Mm-hmm.
And nobody wanted to, nobody.
Every time we went on, they tried to denounce you and make you look stupid.
And you were, matter of fact, the New York Times, they did an op-ed piece on me, making them a gloom and doomer.
We're talking about you saying what's going on, the global economy.
It's down everywhere.
Turkey, just the data came in.
Turkish growth, it's weakest.
You ready?
This is the language they use.
Since the pandemic.
This is how they rewrite history.
The World Health Organization, or is it the W-H-O-R-E, World War Organization, called it a pandemic on March 11th, 2020, when the grand total of 4,213 people died out of 8 billion.
More people fell down the stairs between January and March and broke their neck than died of COVID.
And they probably didn't die, those 4,000 people probably didn't die of COVID.
They probably died with a PCR test that said that they had COVID.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, if you fell down the street and broke your neck and you had COVID, they put you down as dying of COVID.
Yeah, it really happened to happen in Houston.
A motorcycle guy, a motorcycle rider died and they listed it as COVID.
And they called the coroner on it and his response was, well, he could have had COVID.
And the reason their hospitals did that was because they got extra dough.
Yes, that's right.
That's right.
It was like $17,000 a patient that died.
And relatives would go along with it because if they went along with that, if their relative died of COVID, they could get funeral benefits and things like that.
And they just paid everybody off.
Hush money for everybody.
Hospitals, doctors, everybody.
Going back to this investment banks are cutting growth forecast for Turkey.
Again, they blame it, they say since the pandemic.
So now I'm mentioning that because let's go back to 2021.
It was a crisis.
They had launched a COVID war.
Businesses were going out of business.
Economies were crashing.
They pumped in all this cheap money to artificially pop everything up.
You're looking at the numbers.
You're asking me about the global economy.
It's a crisis.
We are heading for the worst geopolitical and financial crisis in the history of the world.
Part one and part two.
There's no way at it.
So now let's go back to the Trends Journal and look at one of your top trends for 2024.
A golden year for gold.
Yeah, there were people that said gold is going to go, nobody called it, no, no media publication called it a golden year for gold other than us.
Nobody.
Gold prices have gone up since we made that forecast.
Some $500 an ounce.
Gold, as we're speaking now, is $2,507 an ounce.
So where's gold going?
Gold very well could hit $3,000 an ounce by the end of this year.
Yeah, that's right.
And here's why.
They're going to cut interest rates.
They do it all the time in the run-up to the presidential reality show.
And before I go into that, this is from Kitco yesterday.
Even as gold prices set new all-time highs, net purchases by central banks more than doubled to 37 tons in July. The world banks are buying it because they know how bad things are.
The average people don't have a clue of what is going on, because if you go to CNN, the Cartoon News Network, this, before it got on the air, this was one of the top stories.
Now, I know this is so important to you and everybody listening, and that's why I'm reading it.
Taylor Swift cheers on Travis Kelsey at Kansas City Chiefs win season opener.
I'm not making this up.
What the hell do I care?
Well, hey, they just rehired at CNN.
They rehired Brian Stelter.
That's why that's happening there.
He's like a news director or something.
He's the one who's picking out these stories like that, I guess.
Yeah.
It's amazing.
Well, you know, when we look at this, OK, you talked about interest rates.
What is the general consensus of what they think the Fed is going to do?
In September, they're going to cut rates.
Everybody thinks it's going to happen.
Well, absolutely going to cut it.
The only question is whether they're going to cut it by 25 basis points or 50 basis points.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That was my question.
What is the consensus?
Consensus is 25.
But, again, this just came out this morning.
August payrolls grew by less than expected.
142,000 jobs.
The jobs that are being created are cheap jobs in social services, In working for the chains, paying you nothing.
You see, this is better, that's why I call us plantation workers of slavelandia.
This is better than the old plantation system, because back then they had to house you and feed you.
Yeah, that's right.
Now they just give you enough money, get the hell out of here and come back tomorrow.
So going back to the data, They're going, there is a high probability that they will lower interest rates, 50 basis points, I think it's like the 18th of this month.
Yeah, I think the 18th.
That they'll lower them.
Now this is important.
The lower interest rates go, the deeper the dollar falls.
The deeper the dollar falls, the higher gold prices go.
This isn't rocket science.
Now, the only reason the dollar is strong is because of high interest rates.
And now they're cutting interest rates all over the world.
The other day, Canada just cut its interest rates again, and they cut them at the fastest pace in Canada since 2009.
Oh, 2009?
You mean when the Great Recession really hit hard?
All right?
That's what's going on.
You look at the data, you look at the numbers.
Again, we only go by facts.
This is yesterday that Dow falls 200 points.
S&P posts third straight loss as growth fears plague investors.
Growth fears?
They're afraid of growth.
So again, the whole thing is artificially propped up.
You have three, again, when I say Slavelandia, I'm not, this is an empty words.
You have three companies, these hedge funds, private equity groups, capital venture capitalists, Vanguard, BlackRock, and State Street own 88% of the S&P 500.
So the whole game is rigged.
Thank you.
They're going to do everything they can to prop it back up.
Well, you know, it's when you talked about the jobs that 140,000 or whatever it was that they said was short in August, that's after they adjusted.
And we talked about it last time you were here, after they adjusted the quarterly reports and said, actually, there's over 800,000 fewer jobs than we told you last time.
They're always lying about that stuff.
And so now this is really big.
Now we're up to a million jobs pretty close to that that aren't there.
So I guess they're afraid of growth.
Maybe that's going to be a good thing for them, huh?
If they're afraid of growth, they're not seeing any growth happening with that.
So this is, again, this is from Challenger and Gray and Christmas.
They reported this on Wednesday.
Job openings in July touched their lowest point since January 2021.
Okay, wait, let's stop right there.
January 2021?
Yeah.
When the nation was locked down?
Yeah.
Yeah, who was hiring?
That's how bad the numbers are?
No.
Yeah.
Thursday, and this was the worst August layoffs since 2009.
Oh, 2009, the height of the Great Recession?
And the slowest year for hiring since the firm started tracking the metric in 2005.
You asking me how the economy is going?
The proof is all here, but we won't talk about it.
And we won't talk about in Boston, your office vacancy rate, empty buildings.
It's only 27%.
New York's only 24%.
San Francisco's only about 35%.
Vacant!
Nobody there!
So what the banksters are doing is they're extending these loans.
Artificially propping it up.
There's some $4 trillion worth of commercial real estate loans coming over you in the next two years.
Wow.
Wow.
That's going to be huge.
And she said, you're the only one talking about it, and you've been talking about it for a long time.
When it all happened, you immediately said, well, this is going to have, and we're dealing with, you know, that's one of the biggest repercussions.
But of course, there's a lot of other repercussions as well.
A lot of small businesses have been put out.
A couple weeks ago to a woman who was actually put in jail.
I know if you remember, you know, in Dallas, you had the local Graham Poobah came after a woman who had had kept her beauty shop open.
Well, this is a woman in Minnesota and Tim Waltz and his thugs actually put her in jail.
They had some small businesses who organized and said, we're going to stay open.
And they had a couple hundred businesses that were part of an organization and only a handful of them, about a dozen or so, said they were going to do it.
And then when they got a threatening letter, everybody caved except for a couple of them.
And she was one of those and she refused to do any of that stuff.
So they threw her in jail.
And she wound up having to, she and her husband had a business there for decades, she had to even move to another state after she got out of jail.
So, I mean, this is, the damage that's been done throughout this lockdown, and nobody wants to pay attention to how that happened, or who did it, that it was a bipartisan thing.
But you've been talking about this in the very beginning, how it was going to affect even the commercial real estate and the banks, and of course it is.
We're now seeing other aspects of this, Gerald.
In Germany, Volkswagen is going to be closing a factory in Germany for the first time ever in their 87-year history.
They've closed factories in other countries.
You know, they had factories where they made cars for those markets, and they've closed those in the past, but this is the first time they've ever closed a factory in Germany, and it's going to be a big fight with the unions there.
Part of that is happening because They caved after they came after them with this diesel gate thing.
They went to EV stuff.
And that's not working out for them.
But it's also the economy.
And it's also the cost of manufacturing in the West has gone sky high because they've given an energy preference to China.
How do you see that happening?
I mean, there's so much that's there with this Green New Deal grift that is going.
Not only subsidies, a massive transfer of money like we saw with the pandemic, but it's also the kind of structural Uh, damage that we saw with the lockdown.
They're, they're locking people down already in so many different financial ways with this, uh, green new deal stuff, aren't they?
I saw these, a lot of things you mentioned, let's, let's talk about subsidies.
That's just hit me.
There's an Italian guy that I'm not very fond of.
His name was Mussolini.
The merger of state and corporate powers is called fascism.
Subsidies?
You're giving some clown my money?
How about doing it on your own?
What's the subsidy crap?
Shut the hell up, Salenti.
Don't you understand?
They give it back to us in the name of campaign contributions.
That's what morons and imbeciles call it.
It's called paybacks.
You're talking about the cheap labor going to China.
Bill Clinton, what do you think they pay that arrogant little?
Yeah.
This was one of my t-shirts back in 1992 when Clinton was running.
Did you see that?
Yeah.
Beware of slick Willie.
Yeah.
What do you think Goldman Sachs pays this arrogant little piece of garbage $300,000 an hour to hear him speak?
Oh, he did away with the Glass-Steagall Act, didn't he?
Yeah.
It's payback.
Yeah, that's right.
So going back, going back to what's going on with the green and this and that, you mentioned Volkswagen.
What's one of your other top trends of 2024?
EVs go FU.
We've been writing about this since 2015, when the whole EV thing started to go.
These things are not energy efficient.
They are not helping to clean the environment.
They are inefficient and over-expensive.
The whole EV market is going down, except in China.
And the reason in China is, number one, they got their EVs are being subsidized by the government.
Yeah, yeah.
So it's making it cheaper for people to buy them.
Well, they're that big real estate, uh, you know, expansion, you know, building cities that nobody ever occupied.
I mean, they're, they're famous, the fascist governments.
That's the thing, you know, people say, well, China can't be fascist.
They're Chinese.
They're communist, right?
No, they're fascist in terms of the merger of the state and, um, and the, uh, the industry that's there.
Yeah.
Okay.
And so for China, by the way, It's a disaster.
Before I go, I want to go back to Germany quickly.
Germany's in a recession.
In reality.
And this is the third largest economy in the world.
And what we kept warning about in the Trends Journal is that reality is going to hit when the summer season is over.
And that's exactly what's going on.
Look at how the Nasdaq is taking a big hit.
Look again, the Trends Journal, we were the first ones Magazines are somewhere.
We call the dot-com bust.
In 1999, when it used to be a quarterly, now it's a weekly, in the fall of 1999, we said it would bust by the second quarter of 2000, and it did in March.
The same thing is happening now with AI.
AI is here to stay, just like the dot-com is, but when you have The explosion of the new formula, they over-invest in it.
They over-gamble in it.
Yeah.
And they do things that make no sense.
So that's why you're seeing the NASDAQ, when I went on the air, was down like some 2% again today.
Wow.
So it's going to go down big.
It's over-expanded.
All the IPOs making up stuff.
And now going back to China, When slimeball Bill Clinton brought them into the World Trade Organization, and that's why the prices have cost so much more over a year to get slave labor over in China, and this is what people forget.
In order for a company to go over there and open a manufacturing plant in China, the Chinese government owed 51% of it and they own 49% of it.
Yeah, that's right.
That's right.
Yeah.
China didn't have the experience of how to make this stuff.
The West gave them all the experience in how to do it.
So now I'm going back to the housing crisis.
Again, in trend forecasting, all things are connected.
In every boom, in every boom, there's a bust.
Happens all the time.
So China, with you talking about the real estate, it boomed to make a terrible situation a thousand times worse.
China launched a COVID war on their Chinese Lunar New Year, the Year of the Rat, in January 2020.
and had three years of zero COVID policy, they locked down that country more than any place in the world.
Yes.
They destroyed the lives and livelihoods of hundreds of millions of people.
I know people in China.
They're telling me, but it's gone way, way down.
And they said, the Chinese businesses, a lot of them are still going on, but the Western businesses that opened up are all going down bad.
And then again, you got to put the data together.
You look at luxury sale numbers.
Again, the fish rots in the head down.
China was buying luxury stuff like crazy.
Now it's going way, way down.
So if it's rotting at the top, it's going way down at the bottom.
And again, you look at the numbers.
Oh, Walmart sales are going up.
This one's going, because more of what used to be mainstream is buying crappy stuff at these joints.
And this is another one before I forget it.
If people want to know what's going on, watch copper prices.
In the economic world, we call copper Dr. Copper, because copper is used in everything from heavy industry to high tech.
Yeah.
So if you watch where copper prices are going, you can see where the global economy is going.
Yeah, when you're talking about what happened in China, I recall after things gradually started to open up and after they finally took their foot and their boot off of the throat of the people in Shanghai.
I remember them talking about, somebody did an article they went through and they interviewed a bunch of young professionals, maybe in the mid-30s.
And they had gone to a university and they had a big high-paying job with a big multinational corporation and everything.
And as soon as they could, as soon as they dropped all the restrictions, travel and everything, they were getting out of the big city and said, we're not coming back.
And I'm going to go work in a donut shop out in a rural area and I'm going to give up my $200,000 job that I had in Shanghai because I'm not going to go through that again.
And so there's that aspect of it as well.
They're getting a lot of the same type of realization that we got here, but they got it even harder than we did in terms of lockdowns.
But yeah, China will do whatever the globalists want.
Yeah.
Yep.
And they were the ones trying to, again, I used to be on Hong Kong TV back in 2019.
in 2019. Hong Kong is a city of 7.5 million people. Over a million people were taking to the streets week after week after week, day after day after day in protest of China taking over Hong Kong.
I'm on the air with the guy, and again, this is top station, and we take a break and I say, Frank, so what's going on?
You know, is this going to stop?
He said, Mr. Salenti, we're not going to stop.
We're not going to let the Chinese stop us.
The Chinese couldn't stop them.
Then they launched the COVID war.
Get back in your house.
Get back in your house.
You can't get out into the street.
Then they passed an emergency act.
Boop!
Finito.
Everybody forgot about the protests going on in Hong Kong as the Chinese took over.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They have no clue.
People have no idea about this.
And they were hardcore with the rumbelt umbrellas and everything.
When they started spraying them with chemicals and everything, they showed up with umbrellas, you know, and that's why that was a symbol of their protest.
I mean, they were really hardcore and they would pay attention, you know, as the Chinese are trying to alter their, the school curriculum.
Uh, they would fight back against that and, and big protests and everything, but they've completely crushed that with the COVID stuff.
Yeah.
That's what it was designed for.
Think about it.
Think about this.
One, over a million people out of 7.5 million.
We're having a peace rally, as you know, on September 28th.
Everybody could go to OccupyPeace.com.
Judge Napolitano, Scott Ritter, Max Blumenthal, Anya Parampil, and others.
We get a million people?
Out of 332 million?
Yeah.
Where are the people for peace?
Where are all these religions?
Were the Quakers dying in an earthquake?
Where were all these Quakers?
When it got locked?
The Seventh-Day Adventists waiting for the eighth day?
Where are the Catholics?
Where are the Episcopalians?
Where are all these religions?
How come you're not out there for peace?
As they're slaughtering, destroying the Palestinians in front of everybody's eyes.
In front of everybody's eyes!
But, of course, you won't see it on the news because, again, in yesterday's podcast I did, I held up the front page of the Wall Street Journal, which I don't want to use the proper name.
It brings with an ace and an H and it has a T at the end.
It's about the tennis thing coming up.
Big picture.
Not about the dead Palestinians.
And then you go to the toilet paper record, the New York slime.
Yeah.
Scared young minds in Ukraine paint the vision of war.
Look at this.
You see this?
Wow.
Wow.
Nothing about the slaughtered Palestinian kids over what?
According to Lancet, a top organization, they're saying over 150 Palestinians are going to die.
Already over 44,000, over 40,000 have been killed.
But what was the news?
Six hostages killed.
Israeli, well, six out of 40,000?
Yeah.
So what I'm saying, people have no idea and that's why you get to Trends Journal.
We're giving you information that you could use and they're giving you information that's nothing more than, here, here.
We talked before about the office building bust and how the banks are going to go bust.
This is in Wednesday's Wall Street Journal.
A once hot sector falls on hard times.
In Boston area, with over 42 million square feet, 49 million square feet, vacancy is soared to 27.7% compared with less than 6.2% in 2020.
compared with less than 6.2% in 2020.
Look where this is buried.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Wait a minute, you got a almost a 28% vacancy rate?
It used to be 6%?
And the story doesn't say what a crisis is looming?
No, no, it's just, it's hard times.
Well, you've got Occupy Pieces coming up, and if you go to Trends Journal, you'll see that as a pop-up there.
It's a countdown of the number of days and hours before it begins.
We've had, you know, what is going on with Scott Ritter?
What can you do to bring us up to date with him?
Because they came after him because he was writing For RT, and, you know, they are trying to do everything they can to shut down any information about the wars.
What's the situation with Scott Ritter?
He's going to be at... Oh, he's going to be a speaker here, and I just had lunch with him two weeks ago, and I'll be seeing him again tomorrow.
And I got to tell you, again, without going through all the details, I'm only me because I was on the other side.
Yeah.
I used to run A work on major political campaigns in Westchester County.
I'm going back to 1971.
They were grooming me.
They sent me up to Albany.
I was the assistant to the Secretary of the New York State Senate.
This is the top cat running the show.
I'm there with Warren Anderson, the Majority Leader, Malcolm Wilson, by Robert Walsh's suit, eating a shrimp cocktail.
Malcolm Wilson became the governor when Rockefeller died screwing that chick.
He got a heart attack and Malcolm Wilson took over.
I was a Chief Government Affairs Specialist for the chemical industry.
I was killing environmental legislation at the height, the height of the environmental movement back in the 1970s.
At 28 years old, I was staying at the Willard Hotel and putting my meetings on at the Hay-Adams.
I had the top scientists in Romanhas, Lanza, DuPont, one after another, anyway.
I have a photograph of me picking up Ronald Reagan at 30 years old.
I was at the Chicago Hilton, 1976, two days before he's announcing he's running against Gerald Ford for the nomination.
I'd been with presidents, prime ministers, and princes.
I was on the other side.
I wouldn't know what I know if I wasn't on the other side.
But I started to grow up around 32 years old.
That's when I quit my job, became a different person, going back to Rita.
Ritter was a top Marine.
His father was in his service.
This guy wanted to kill and shoot everybody everywhere.
Until he got on the other side, and then he saw how corrupt and terrible it was, he became a different man.
Yeah.
He is a true warrior for peace.
Nobody will shut this guy up.
This guy's big.
I mean, there's a picture of me, him, and Judge Napolitano.
We went for dinner over here, not far from us over here.
And there's me and Napolitano down here, and he's up here, you know.
We look like two midgets next to him.
Scott Ritter is a real fighter.
He was on the other side.
He knows how terrible it is.
This is the guy that was the top UN's nuclear inspector.
That said there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
And there's that clip of Biden making fun of him.
Yeah.
This guy, so you asked me, he won't stop fighting.
I said to him, I said, well, I said, he's still mad at us, man.
I said, all your family's going through.
And when would they come up with like 40 something people to raid his house and steal everything?
Oh, yeah.
So that's what's going on with Ritter, and again, tomorrow we're getting together again, and he's so passionate about peace, and he's doing everything he can.
So he'll be a speaker here as well.
That's great, and you know, we have all these different flashpoints.
When you look at what is happening in Ukraine, we just had Friendly fire, shoot down one of the F-15s.
I mean, it was a clown show on the ground.
But, you know, Zelensky's now invaded Ukraine, and it's like an act of desperation.
The U.S.
has decided they're going to give them long-range missiles.
Talk about what is happening there.
I mean, it's become really a lab.
It's not just sending over advanced and expensive systems like the F-15 and long-range missiles.
That's really become a lab for kind of asymmetric warfare as well, with the drone warfare.
They're now talking about massive proliferation of killer robot dogs and all this kind of stuff.
And they're moving towards autonomous killer robots and other things like that.
And they're going to use that as a test bed, I think.
Talk a little bit about what you see happening with Ukraine and the escalation there.
Go back to your Trends Journal.
Go back about a year and a half ago.
We warned that as Ukraine loses, they're going to shoot deeper and deeper into Russia, and they're going to attack nuclear power plants.
They just attacked a nuclear power plant in Kursk where they invaded.
United Nations, whatever they call it, nuclear organization, I forgot the proper name for it.
Is it the IAEA?
Yeah.
Yeah.
They said the damage that has been caused is serious.
This is not being reported anywhere.
We are on the verge of nuclear annihilation.
That's why we're fighting for peace.
Now let's go to the Israel war.
There's a thing, as you well know, called the Samson option.
S-A-M-S-O-N.
If Israel loses, they go nuclear.
You don't have to be good at math to figure this out.
They keep dragging Iran into this.
Yeah, that's right.
Iran has over 90 million people.
How many live in Israel?
Nine million?
And 20% of them Arabs?
All right.
Nine million versus 90 million?
These are the Persians with the 90 million.
These aren't stupid people.
They are very advanced.
They'll wipe out Israel in a second.
But Israel will go nuclear.
They've said it.
And again, you get to Trends Journal.
We've been saying now, I can't use the proper language on your show, we call it Biden BS when he said it and Blinken BS when he said it, that they were close to a peace deal.
And they kept blaming Hamas for not doing it.
And now the facts have come out.
Reported by the facts, by Israeli newspapers, that Netanyahu is totally opposed to the peace deal because he wants to keep occupying parts of Gaza, the Philadelphia area.
He's totally opposed to peace.
And these maniacs, the Smotrich and Gieve, the other ones in there, they don't want peace at all.
And this is the language, again, when you, the article was here somewhere about what's going on in, now they're invading more and more of the West Bank.
Yeah.
Israel raids for the seventh day in occupied West Bank.
This is the toilet paper record, the New York Times.
They go on to say that the Israeli military said the operation in the northwestern West Bank aimed to crack down on increasingly powerful Palestinian militants in the area.
Okay, wait a minute.
Occupied West Bank?
You mean you're illegally stealing somebody else's land in violation of the Geneva Convention and Article 242 of the United Nations?
Occupied?
How about stolen?
Oh, and the people that are fighting you because you're killing, murdering and raping and knocking down everything they own.
They're militants.
So if somebody breaks in my building over here, And tries to come at me and I blow their brains out.
I guess I'm a militant!
How dare I try to stop somebody that's trying to kill me!
Why you lousy militant Diddy Bastard Salenti!
I'm a chosen people!
I can do anything I want!
Let me ask you, you know, there were riots this week, and you get, you know, the Israeli newspapers, papers from all over the world, all different places.
What was it that the, and it appeared to be against Netanyahu, what was it that the Israeli street, because we talk about the Arab street or whatever, when people get out on the street and they're rioting, what did they want from him?
Did they want him to escalate?
Did they want him to de-escalate?
Did they want him to end the war, expand the war?
They want him to de-escalate.
No, they're against it.
The people are protesting.
They're against it.
Every one of my Jewish friends are against this war.
Everyone, except one.
And I got a lot of Jewish friends.
I'm in New York City.
Not New York City, but in New York.
I mean, every one of my Jewish friends are against it.
Again, we're having Max Blumenthal here as a speaker.
The people are against it, but I keep telling everybody.
Again, this is not rocket science.
Again, I'm a trend forecaster.
I look at facts.
How did the Berlin Wall come down?
People went there, they didn't leave.
Yeah, that's right.
More people kept coming. They didn't leave. More people kept coming. They didn't leave.
More people kept coming. They didn't leave. Day after day after day, week after week after week, until they outnumbered these little boys in their costumes with guns by about 10,000 to one.
Hope to see you.
Put down their guns, take off their costumes.
That's what has to happen.
And blend in.
It has to go on day after day after day.
And I want to make this clear.
The people are for peace.
The politicians are for war.
And anybody that doesn't believe in peace to me is a piece of S.H.I.
you-know-what.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, that's the reason that I asked was because, you know, it happened after they found some of the hostages and he said, you know, that's all they're going to talk about.
They're not going to talk about any other, any other things.
That's why I was wondering if they were trying to, um, um, try and escalate this and say, you know, you need to do something different because we're concerned about the hostages, but they just want to, want to end this thing at this point.
Right.
Yep, again, we subscribe, we pay to go to, haha, that's the Israeli newspaper.
By the way, here was the Trends Journal when I said we forecast the dot-com bust.
Yeah, yeah.
.com this, .com overload will short-circuit many high expectations for huge profits in internet commerce, entertainment, and a wide array of .com services.
Following the holiday season, many of today's high-flying internet stocks, the hottest IPOs, and newly emerging IPO wannabes will have begun their deep descent from their overvalued heights.
There you got it.
I agree, yeah.
So now, going back to the Israel war, Again, we subscribe to Haaretz, the Israeli newspaper.
They are reporting and others about Netanyahu.
Here.
Netanyahu derailed a potential Gaza hostage deal in July.
Israeli newspaper reports.
This just came out.
He doesn't want peace because, again, Peace always helps the politicians who are in power, you know.
Everybody's like, well, we're at war.
We don't want to change horses in midstream.
And once you have a war, so many people who are opposed to the individual that's in government, now they rally behind them, you know.
And so it always helps the people in power to keep a war going.
Let's go back again.
This is when I say about the Trends Journal, again, if you want to pay $5 a day for the Wall Street Journal, knock yourself out.
You're not going to get anything.
You lose $2.50 a week when you go.
There were 39 weeks of protests going on in Israel before Hamas attacked on October 7th last year.
39 weeks because of Netanyahu's Judicial Reform Act that would have prevented him from going To prison, basically, for his violations.
39 weeks of protests, people were taken to the streets.
And opposed to his Judicial Reform Act, it did away with the courts, basically.
October 7th happens, Hamas, everybody forgot about it.
Not my language.
The language of Isaac Herzog, the president, Israel back during those 39 weeks. Israel is in a civil war.
Israel was in a civil war before Hamas attack. Hamas attack, oh totally forgotten. What I just talked about nobody studied. Nobody's talking about.
Yeah. And regardless of who gets elected they're gonna keep this war going. And this is from the Times of Israel, your buddy.
Vote for me or Israel will be annihilated, Trump says in pitch to Republican Jews.
Yeah, I heard that.
Did you see that one?
Yeah.
You saw that?
Yeah.
If Vice President Kamala Harris wins the White House, Israel will cease to exist, Trump said.
I will work with you to make sure Israel is with us, you ready?
Thousands.
For thousands of years.
Thousands of years.
Hey, fat mouth, how the hell could you say what's gonna go on for thousands of years?
Don't you know who I am?
I'm Donald Trump.
I never worked a day of my life.
My daddy gave me all the money.
Yeah.
I had lunch with his brother, Robert.
Trump.
Back in 2017.
Trump's in office and we're safe, not far from the other end.
The old man left the family about over a half a billion dollars, right?
A little daddy's boy with a bad attitude.
My daddy, when he left me, is everything of who I am and not a penny.
These little arrogant boys, a thousand years.
Who the hell are you talking to?
I'm talking to the stupid people that swallow my crap.
That's who I'm talking to.
Yep.
Yeah.
No, he promises anything to everybody.
I mean, he was there at the Economic Club in New York, and he's talking about childcare.
Oh yeah, sure, we'll do childcare for everybody, and we'll raise taxes on everything that's important in the United States to pay for your childcare.
It's like, yeah, that's a great deal.
Let me ask you this, though.
Let's get back to economics just briefly.
We've only got about three minutes left.
You know, the stock market now is so highly dependent on what's happening with artificial intelligence.
And NVIDIA is getting a little bit shaky because they're so overvalued.
You were talking about this earlier, how they get ahead of everything.
And so Greenspan called it irrational exuberance.
And so whenever they come out with something as big and revolutionary, there's a lot of irrational exuberance.
And if somebody starts running for the exits, they all panic at that point in time.
And so since we've got such a such a high stock market on such a few companies and we've got The election coming up.
Do you think that they're going to be able to push this off, the reckoning, they're going to be able to push this off until after the election?
Or do you think it might happen before?
Because already in September we're getting shaky.
A lot of times these things happen in October.
What's your general sense?
I know you're not a predictor, but just you got any general sense as to what you think might happen?
Is it going to be some kind of October surprise?
They're going to do everything they can to prop it up before the election.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Everything they can.
Can they do it?
It's a guessing game.
Yeah.
But they can invent anything that they want.
Again, I thought the markets would crash again in 2012.
I was 100% wrong.
They didn't teach me about zero interest rates or make up thing called quantitative easing in Economics 101 at graduate school.
Yeah, that's right.
Look what happened.
I thought everything was going to crash when they locked down everything during the COVID war.
Did I think that Trump and Biden would pump in, probably between the two of them, about $10 trillion?
Don't go to work.
Don't worry.
Here's free money.
Zero interest rates.
They'll do anything they can to prop it up.
But there's also the reality going on.
And the reality could crash the markets.
And October is the month, as you mentioned.
Now, if the markets crash, Trump wins.
If the markets don't crash, Harris wins.
And Harris, we believe, again, I can't stand either, I'm a trend forecaster, it's not what I like, what I want, what I wish for, it's what is.
I'm not voting for either of them.
Yeah, me neither.
More on, so I voted for them because they're lesser of two evils.
What do you mean lesser of two evils?
One guy shot you with a rifle, the other guy shot you with a pistol?
What are you talking about?
That's like saying almost pregnant.
Yeah.
So I'm not voting for any of them.
I got it.
Yeah.
That's an interesting way to put it.
It kind of does hinge on that.
That's going to have to be the October surprise if there is one that's going to make the difference for them.
Thank you so much, Gerald Cilenti, Trends Journal.
Use the code Knight to save 10%.
And I want to say real quickly, thank you, Dustin Helm and NN.
Thank you very much, both of you.
Have a great weekend, everybody.
Thank you for watching.
They created Common Core to dumb down our children.
They created Common Past to track and control us.
Their Commons Project to make sure the commoners own nothing.
And the communist future.
They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
That is what we have in common.
That is what they want to take away.
Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
