Time Text
Thank you.
You're listening to the David night show As the clock strikes 13, it's Thursday the 30th the 3rd of
October dear of our Lord 2024
Time's going fast, not that quickly, but we're going to talk today about what is being escalated in the Middle East.
What is really happening there is a bit different than what you're being told.
And what the goals are there are different than what you're being told.
But we know what is happening here in America.
After nearly a week, now we have talk about the federal government starting to send some help.
But what that help looks like increasingly is telling people, stay out of this area, you can't help your fellow neighbors.
These people are at war with us.
We've got over 300,000 children trafficked by the CIA. We have Julian Assange talking about the assassination plots against him as well.
But we're not the bad guys.
Or are we? I don't know.
We'll talk about it when we come back.
Stay with us. Well, Israel is planning a major attack on Iran, and of course we know that.
It's not really Israel either, as much as it is the U.S. Yes, Israel wants to go after Iran, and they want to use the U.S. to do it, but the warmonger wing of the U.S. government has constantly been after Iran.
Going back to before I was born, I mean both the US government and Israel are fixated on the destruction of
Iran.
Of course, the US wants to control it for oil, that type of thing.
But they would, I think, be just as content to destroy a major source of oil because they want to destroy our fuel-based
economy.
They want to destroy our energy.
But nobody's going to have any energy for their electric cars, their electric ranges, their electric heater, air
conditioning.
It'll only be the government and its handmade artificial intelligence, and they will set up new nuclear reactors for
themselves.
Virtue signal about that.
While they shut down the grid for the rest of us.
So that is a part of it, I truly believe.
But of course, the U.S. versus Iran began long before, well, not long before, but shortly before I was born.
It's been going on for a very long time.
And that was when they overthrew the government of Iran.
And you had more than 20 years of U.S. colonialism, if the left wants to call it that.
Of course, they're not calling it that.
But you look at what happened to the Shah of Iran, and that's what produced the Ayatollahs.
And a lot of people in Iran don't like that government.
But it always happens when we go into an area with the CIA. They foment revolution.
They assassinate.
They start wars. And everything is always worse after the CIA gets involved with it.
So the U.S. is coordinating with Israel on its plans.
And it's harder to tell which is which.
And so as we look at this missile attack that landed in Israel...
Look at all the massive missiles coming in.
We're being told that it had absolutely no effect.
They were all shot down by the Iron Dome before it hit the ground.
So, who are you going to believe? Your lying eyes?
Or the government? That never lies to you, right?
The US wants an excuse to take down Iran again, but Israel wants it as well.
And I think a large part of this is one of the reasons why the U.S. never told Israel to stop in Gaza.
Because they wanted to invite this.
They're pushing and pushing to have a response.
So that will be an excuse to go in and do the next escalation, which has always been, towards Iran.
Israel would likely need U.S. military support to launch significant strikes on Iranian territory.
Of course! Iran is massive.
It's unbelievably large.
They can't handle Iran in terms of just the land area there without the U.S. being involved.
And of course you've got many people like Lindsey Graham that have just been chomping at the bit to get involved.
Israel wants more U.S. support if it provokes another Iranian attack.
Israel acknowledged on Wednesday that Iranian missiles made an impact on several military bases, but they claimed that there was no significant damage.
They want to say that this is just another face-saving event, which perhaps the earlier ones were.
But this was 180 ballistic missiles.
And they appear to have been focused, and we'll talk about that in just a moment, they appear to be focused, with geolocation and all the rest of the stuff, on military bases, military targets, not on civilian targets.
Unlike what is being done in Gaza.
This is sad, says one person, what is happening in terms of these missiles being launched.
And of course, they're being launched primarily at military places.
But I just watched thousands of homes wash away in the Appalachian Mountains where I grew up.
Any politician that stands with this war before the American people is dead with me.
Right, so Matthew Reif.
April, after Iran struck Israel, the U.S. issued a number of sanctions as a consequence.
This morning, the President said there would be severe consequences if Iran carried out this attack.
What are those consequences, and are they more severe than sanctions?
Totally legitimate question, and that answer will come based on the conversations and consultations we have with our Israeli counterparts.
It's too soon for me to stand before you today and give you an answer.
What I can tell you is this.
We are proud of the actions that we've taken alongside Israel to protect and defend Israel.
We have made clear that there will be consequences, severe consequences for this attack, and we will work with Israel to make that the case.
Thank you very much. Isn't that amazing?
Yeah, well, you know, I can't really tell you what we're going to do until Israel tells me what we're going to do, basically is what they say.
Thomas Massey says, you're going to work with Israel?
The Constitution requires you to work with Congress.
We've made clear that there will be consequences, severe consequences, for this Iranian missile attack on Israel, and we will work with Israel to make that case.
It reminds me of, you remember what happened earlier?
Years ago, I just thought of it just now as I was watching this.
I'm trying to remember the name of the defense secretary.
It was a guy He was head of the CIA. Starts with a P. It'll come to me eventually.
It's getting slower as I get older.
But what I do remember about the exchange, and you probably remembered it, too.
Probably somebody on the comments can tell me.
But it was, I want to say Podesta, but that's not who it was.
But starts with a P. Italian guy.
He was a congressman.
He gets put into the administration of Obama.
And he says, well, it was Jeff Sessions who was asking him.
He said, so are you going to go attack this country?
I forget which one it was in the Middle East.
Without telling us, I think Syria or something like that.
And he says, well, we'll consult with our allies in the U.N. and other places, and I'll let you know after what we decide.
And Jeff Sessions says, I can't believe you're saying that.
You were a congressman.
You know how it's supposed to work.
You're supposed to get that declaration from Congress before you do something like that.
And this guy, again, had been a congressman.
He was put into Secretary of Defense, CIA, all the rest of the stuff.
That was his resume. And just incredibly arrogant.
And he wasn't even taken back by that.
He says, Senator, I'll let you know when we decide what we're going to do.
We'll talk to NATO. We'll talk to the UN. We'll talk to these other people.
We'll decide what we're going to do, and I'll let you know.
That's what's happening here.
These people in Washington, and it happens with Democrats, it happens with Republicans as well, they don't care what the Constitution says.
They're going to do whatever they wish.
They're going to consult with their globalist allies.
They're going to consult with NATO or whatever.
Basically, what they're saying is, we'll do whatever we want.
And we've got these other people, we don't really care what the elected representatives want.
We don't care what the Constitution says.
We're going to do what we want.
So nothing really has changed.
And so Tim Walsh was asked, in case you didn't get it, the very first question coming out of the gate and the debate on Tuesday night, what are you going to do in terms about Israel and Preemptively striking Iran.
Final voice in the situation room.
Would you support or oppose a preemptive strike by Israel on Iran?
You have two minutes. Well, thank you.
And thank you for those joining home tonight.
Let's keep in mind where this started.
October 7th, Hamas terrorists.
Massacred over 1,400 Israelis and took prisoners.
Israel's ability to be able to defend itself is absolutely fundamental.
Getting its hostages back, fundamental.
And ending the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
But the expansion of Israel and its proxies is an absolute fundamental necessity for the United States to have the steady leadership there.
Oh yeah, we've got to get involved.
And we need to support a preemptive strike as well.
See, not only are they not going to consult with Congress, not only are they not going to get a declaration from Congress, not only is there not going to be any debate, I mean, we don't have debates anymore, right?
They tell you what is true.
They tell you what you must do.
It even rhymes. You've got to go to war.
Why? Well, because I said so.
You've got to get rid of your car.
You've got to stop eating meat and milk and all the rest.
Why? Well, because I said so, right?
I've got experts who say so.
And so again, CBS opened up the debate Tuesday night.
I didn't see the beginning of the debate.
By claiming that Iran was one week away from having nukes.
And you've got Margaret Brennan there at CBS pushing it on these candidates.
Well, let's have preemptive strikes.
We should have preemptive strikes. You're going to support preemptive strikes.
That's how they opened the debate.
Just a week away, Biden has deployed more than 40,000 U.S. military personnel over the past year to try to prevent a regional war, said a spokesperson.
I'm sorry, that wasn't a spokesperson for the administration.
It was Margaret Brennan, the moderator.
She said, Iran is weakened, but the U.S. still considers it to be the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world, and it has dramatically reduced the time that it would take to develop a nuclear weapon.
Is it the biggest state sponsor of terrorism in the world?
When you use, what is the definition of terrorism?
When you use force, violence, or the threat of force and violence, To achieve social or political goals.
Wait a minute. Doesn't that kind of describe us?
Hans, are we the bad guys here?
Are we doing that everywhere?
Well, of course we are.
And they haven't been trying to prevent a regional war.
They've been doing just the opposite.
By sending in troops and bombs and encouraging whatever you want.
Carte Blanche, right? It's just like the FDA. You want to put out this food with pesticides, genetically engineered?
Yeah, you're free to do anything.
You want to put out an mRNA injection that you haven't tested?
Well, maybe you did test it. You know how bad it is.
Oh yeah, you're free to do that too.
You can do anything you want. You want to send troops and bombs?
You're free to do that. You don't have to follow any things in the Constitution.
You don't have to have a debate because we don't do debates anymore.
Even our candidates don't really do debates.
Governor Walz, if you were the final voice in the Situation Room, would you support or oppose a preemptive strike by Israel on Iran?
See, preemptive strikes were infamy when it was done by Japan.
Yes, we were already involved materially, really materially, in sending weapons and supplies and all that kind of stuff to one side, the side that was against them.
They believed that it was inevitable that we were going to get into the war.
We had Roosevelt conspiring to get into the war, and part of that conspiracy was to let Pearl Harbor happen.
And yet, we rightfully condemn Preemptive strikes, as I've said before, you know, when Hamas attacked on October the 7th, even, you know, if Israel had stood down, that still doesn't justify any of that.
If they knew something about it and stood down to let that happen so they'd have justification to come back, that still doesn't do anything about it.
But think about that, right? All this is predicated, you know, the immediate precedent of this.
Of course, this has been going on forever, these conflicts and wars in the Middle East.
But the immediate precedent of all this was October the 7th with Hamas.
And if it was unjust for Hamas to do a preemptive strike, why is it unjust for America or Israel to do a preemptive strike against Iran?
Why is it? Why is that?
Yeah, there's this low-level conflict that's going on.
There was a low-level conflict that was going on with the U.S. and Japan.
But why is it that we understand that a preemptive strike is evil?
It still is evil.
And everybody understands that.
That's why you have FDR trying to maneuver ourselves and allow that strike to happen.
Because everybody, regardless of where they are, this is, Christians of all people should understand this, but non-Christians understand this as well.
If you're the one who initiates the strike, that's on you.
I mean, we talk about Russia, for example, Russia and Ukraine.
Yes, there had been ongoing conflict there since 2014, so they'd had eight years of conflict there.
And the CIA went in and overthrew that government, put in a government that's going to be hostile to Russia.
You had areas that were close to Russia, largely Russian-speaking people, said, we would like to leave now.
Thank you. We've had enough.
Oh, you're not going to leave. And they started shelling those civilian areas, and they shelled them for eight years.
And the Russian-speaking people were begging for something to be done about it.
But Ukraine had not attacked Russia.
And when Russia invaded, they're rightfully condemned for that preemptive strike, something that happened before they were invaded.
Why is it that we condemn what Russia did in Ukraine, and yet we are going to do the same thing with Iran?
Folks, there is no moral justification for this, and I don't care what your theology is.
We've got dispensational theology, people who are Christian, Zionists, anything.
You need to look at the clear, broadly drawn lines of ethics.
Because, you know, you just might have your eschatology wrong, but the clear commands in the Bible are not to do this.
And it makes the Christians who support this It makes them despised in the eyes of the world because everybody knows it's evil.
How could you not have the discernment to know that this is evil?
How could you try to justify this based on your belief in prophecy?
So, videos geolocated showed Iran hammering multiple military sites that they were aiming for and that the Iron Dome failed to stop dozens of their missiles.
That's what you saw there. So I opened the program with every one of the confirmed missile hits in Israel documented here by the always thorough Evan Hill was aimed at an obviously legitimate military target.
There's a fundamental difference between that and flattening apartment buildings, UN buildings, schools, and refugee camps, says Glenn Greenwald.
Well, that even gives them pause.
The likely source of the claim that Iran is one week away from developing the nukes is Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
The same Blinken who buried two reports finding that Israel deliberately blocked aid to Gaza in order to illegally keep U.S. weapons from flowing into Israel.
Blinken said they haven't produced a weapon itself.
That, of course, is something that we can track very, very carefully.
They're playing the same game.
And remember, years and years and years ago, we had Netanyahu go to the UN, and he had that Acme bomb cartoon picture, you know, the circular bomb with a cylinder coming up and the fuse that's sparkling.
And it was widely mocked for that, saying that Iran's nuclear bomb was imminent.
And again, it was Blinken.
He said, well, it's just weeks away now.
If it was true that Iran was one or two weeks away from having nukes, they would have had them now for almost two and a half months.
Of course, if what Netanyahu had said was true, they would have had them for many years.
But both Waltz and JD Vance, this is from Information Liberation, both of them completely in the tank for Israel.
Both of them dodged Brennan's question and rambled on about various nonsense.
But then Vance came back and said, well, we should support our allies because they're fighting the bad guys.
The bad guys.
Who are the bad guys?
You know, when you look at the policies of the American government, the wars that we've started without being attacked, The preemptive strikes that we now shamelessly talk about, that are shamelessly pushed by both parties, shamelessly pushed, of course, by the mainstream media, preemptive attacks.
To me, this is like drag queens molesting kids.
It's such blatant, blatant crimes against humanity.
Why do we need to even explain this to people?
I mean, you can look at a picture of some guy all dressed up in exaggerated stuff and very lascivious and, you know, the way that he's dressed.
Getting in the face of a kid and all this stuff.
And almost everybody can look at that and say, that's just pure evil.
How can we not look at these preemptive strikes and say the same thing about them?
And people are saying that.
And they are saying that about us as well.
And it's all coming from our wonderful CIA. Coups, wars, the rest of this stuff.
Listen to what Julian Assange had to say about Mike Pompeo, who was Trump's Secretary of State, after he was CIA Director.
And you look at this.
It's just like, you know, I was talking about earlier.
The guy who said, well, we'll let you know, Senator Sessions, what we're going to do.
Going to the CIA. I don't know if these people take an oath to Satan before they go there as a condition of office or if it happens while they're there.
CIA Director Pompeo launched a campaign of retribution.
It is now a matter of public record that under Pompeo's explicit direction, the CIA drew up plans to kidnap and to assassinate me within the Ecuadorian embassy in London and authorised going after my European colleagues, subjecting us to theft, hacking attacks and the planting of false information.
My wife and my infant son were also targeted.
A CIA asset was permanently assigned to track my wife and instructions were given to obtain DNA from my six-month-old son's nappy.
This is the testimony of more than 30 current and former US intelligence officials speaking to the US press, which has been additionally corroborated by records seized in a prosecution brought against some of the CIA agents involved.
The CIA's targeting of myself, my family, and my associates through aggressive extrajudicial and extraterritorial means Provides a rare insight into how powerful intelligence organizations engage in transnational repression.
Such repressions are not unique.
What is unique is that we know so much about this one due to numerous whistleblowers and to judicial investigations in Spain.
Isn't that amazing?
The CIA wanted the DNA of his one-year-old son Steal it from the diaper.
Isn't that amazing? Wow.
What pure evil.
They want to be able to track this son forever, right?
Recriminations against him?
Folks, the epicenter of evil in this world is in Washington.
And the core of that is the CIA and DARPA. I am convinced of that to my very core.
We are the center of evil.
You can see it culturally, can't you?
Certainly you need to see it militarily as well.
America gives Israel billions of dollars a year, supplies them with nearly all of their bombs and weapons, but we can't ask them to do anything to advance U.S. interests.
Well, I guess that depends on what U.S. interests are.
You see, U.S. interests are not Americans' interests.
Our government is not operating in our interests.
It is operating against us.
It is at war with us every bit as much as it is at war with Iran or Russia or anybody else that's in their geopolitical way.
We also stand in their geopolitical way.
Because they want to set up world governance.
And in order to do that, they must destroy America.
Completely, thoroughly.
Economically, culturally.
Morally. It has to be utter and complete destruction of America as well.
They haven't started dropping the bombs on us yet.
Iran, meanwhile, fired new hypersonic missiles on Israel, defeated the Iron Dome and strikes air bases.
The Islamic Revolution Guard Corps claim that they succeeded in 90% of their missiles hitting their targets.
We can't tell. A comment here from Steve Swan.
He says, Iran purposely missed Israeli targets.
They just want to let Israel know that they could hit them.
They didn't want a response.
Well, I don't know.
I mean, we're seeing different sources from different people.
And this is one of the reasons why I don't usually talk about what's happening with the war.
I get frustrated with what's going on with the border as well.
Because nothing's going to change with the border.
But you have to talk about it once they start dumping Iran.
60,000 Haitians into a small community or whatever it was.
20,000, I think, into a 60,000 community.
When they start doing this kind of move, you have to start to talk about it.
And, of course, we cannot work out, and I really don't care, who fired first.
This is going back for centuries, what is happening there.
And so we're not going to iron that out.
But we know who is egging this on and escalating it.
That's the key. We need to try to back off of this Hatfields and McCoy.
I don't really care.
I don't want to be in the middle of this.
I don't want to have our government funding and provoking and escalating this.
The Western media reports have been mixed.
This is what Interesting Engineering said in a headline.
He said, Israel's air defenses were decimated.
He wrote, and this is a tech outlet, said, Israel possesses a sophisticated air defense system, the most famous being the Iron Dome, which is designed to intercept short-range rockets, typically fired by Hamas and Hezbollah.
And so, the reality is, is that whether or not they hit anything, they were able to get through the Iron Dome.
That we do know. We can see that.
I don't know. They were exploding on the ground.
I don't know what they hit. But we know that it got through the Iron Dome.
Israel possesses the Arrow 2 and Arrow 3 interceptors for long-range ballistic missiles that fly outside the Earth's atmosphere.
However, Israel currently doesn't have any hypersonic missile interceptor.
And the Iranian Guard...
Claimed that its hypersonic strike hit several of Israel's Arrow 2 and Arrow 3 interceptors.
So, they...
It came after the air defense, the air defense that was going to be for long-range ballistic missiles.
Maybe that was a preparatory strike in the same way that Mossad went after the leadership of Hezbollah.
Maybe what they did was to come after the defense mechanisms there for long-range ballistic missiles.
But the bottom line is that Iran is too big of a country for Israel to be able to take and to hold.
And the U.S. has been wanting to come after Iran forever.
I mean, they successfully did it in the 50s.
They lost that control in the 70s.
Of course, Reagan and the Reagan administration were still working with the Ayatollah, who was supposed to be the most evil government on Earth, right?
They were the most terroristic government on Earth because...
Americans' understanding of what happened with Iran began when they took over the American embassy.
They didn't know or care what was going on under the Shah of Iran.
His brutal secret service that was arresting political dissidents, torturing them, spying on everybody.
Who trained him to do that?
His Savak, that's what they called him. The Savak was trained by the CIA.
And so they, we produced
the Ayatollah.
And now the purpose of going back may be just to destroy oil.
It's gonna wreak economic havoc even if that was what it was limited to.
So the Iranian president said the strikes exposed how weak the
Iron Dome was.
Otherwise...
He added during a speech after the assassination in Tehran, which was a clear violation of Iran's sovereignty and national security, the Western countries kept asking Tehran to exercise restraint, promising to immediately establish a ceasefire in Gaza.
Not only did they continue to kill women and children, but they also expanded the scope of its crimes to Lebanon, and Western countries remained silent.
Well, that part of it is true.
You know, we are told that there are Iranian plots to kill Trump because of his assassinations that he okayed in Iran.
Well, we don't know if that is true or not.
We do know that the U.S. and Israel have assassinated many people there.
But she's the threat.
You better not threaten to do that to Americans or we'll come and nuke your country for all practical purposes.
So, Wine Press News.
Says, well, according to Dark Brandon, he said the attacks failed and that the Iron Dome worked.
Did that look like it?
The clips that I was showing you before?
And then, of course, Trump, a bought-and-paid-for Zionist shill, says that we need to blow Iran to smithereens.
Well, Iran is also home to roughly 15,000 Jews and a lot of Christians that are there, but who cares about that as well, right?
People, he said, don't like me saying this, but Israel is heading down a path that will lead to a lot more destruction for them.
For them. Not because I'm anti-Semitic or believe in the replacement theology that people better have.
Christian Zionists have their own replacement theology.
They say the church replaced Israel, that Israel's now then going to replace the church.
I think it's like...
But just look at the basic morals of this.
Don't give me some theological explanation for why you're going to mug and murder some guy on the street, okay?
They're clear, broad, moral lines that everyone on earth knows.
And you are a reproach to Christ if you push for this kind of war.
You are a reproach to Christ.
I'm not Christianity. I don't care about the organized stuff.
You're a reproach to Christ.
If you push this kind of stuff, don't push it in the name of Christ.
Push it in the name of the Republican Party or the Democrat Party or some other idol God of yours.
Don't make Jesus a part of this, and I'm going to oppose that.
Disgust me. Look, if you want the best for Israel, Netanyahu does not have their best interest at heart.
Look at what he did to them.
He used them as bad or worse than any of these other leaders who all were against their own people.
But he got the vaccination rates up really high.
He used contact tracing and all the rest of the stuff.
He is a despicable, megalomaniacal politician.
Just like Trump, just like Biden, just like Lala, they don't care about the people in their country.
They despise the people in their country.
If you want to support the Jews, help them get rid of Netanyahu.
Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett says Israel now has the greatest opportunity in 50 years to fatally cripple Iran.
Well, here's a correction.
They have the best opportunity in 50 years to get the U.S. to cripple Iran, which the U.S. would love to do.
They've been after, again, going back to the early 50s.
They've been after Iran.
So, he said in August that the U.S. will get a rerun of 9-11 if it doesn't fight Israel's wars.
He said later that month that the Jewish state expects its Western allies will strike Iran if they're hit with retaliatory strikes for assassinating Hamas political leader in Tehran.
He said right now, Iran is trying to kill U.S. officials on American soil.
Let that sink in.
Well, this is after an assassination by the U.S. on Iranian soil.
Let that sink in.
Let that sink in.
Assassinations are bad if it's talked about for the U.S. But it's great if we do it.
And we cheer Trump or Biden or whoever does it, right?
He said the only way to stop this Iranian octopus of terror is to cut its head off.
So, when we talk about an octopus of terror, you know, we've got some logos that are used by some of these intelligence agencies and, you know, these spy versus spy people.
A giant octopus with its tentacles around the earth.
Yeah. Who might that be?
Would that be us?
Is that a symbol of the intelligence community?
I just talked to you about Pompeo wanting to kill Julian Assange and his family.
But going back to Naftali Bennett, he says, Iran's regime is the biggest source of global terror.
I beg to differ.
How many countries has Iran attacked?
Yeah, they're attacking Israel.
But are they going around in every continent on Earth, assassinating people, creating wars?
No, that would be us.
That would be us.
And he goes on to say, just like the Soviet Empire collapsed in 1989, the Islamic Empire of Iran will collapse.
No, I would say that the better analogy to the Soviet Empire is the U.S. Empire.
And all these empires collapse with overreach.
They all collapse with a moral failure at the center.
They become this hollowed out, corrupt, rotten tree.
And eventually a small wind comes along and takes down this, what looked like a massive tree.
That's what happened in the Soviet Empire.
It was rotted out from the inside, the very beginning, and grew into this monster.
So the U.S. is rotted out.
And it is...
We are overextended.
We are bankrupted.
And just as the Soviet Empire, we have both people on the left and the right now begging either Lala or Trump to centrally control our economy.
And they're both more than willing to play along with the game and say they can fix it.
I'll fix the food prices for you.
I'll do this. I'll do that. I can fix everything.
I can bring back manufacturing.
I can get us clean energy.
I can bring back our energy that we had that worked or whatever.
Everything must be centrally controlled.
You see, we want an empire.
And we want a centrally controlled Soviet empire.
That's what the American people want.
And they're going to get it good and hard.
In December, Bennett wrote a column for the Wall Street Journal demanding that America
fight Israel's wars and bring down the Iranian regime.
And so, you know, when you look at what these people are trying to do, it truly is amazing
that we continue down this path.
On comments here, Marky Mark says, I'm late joining the show about five minutes in, so you may have already mentioned it.
Did you know that we are short of Transformers down south?
Did you know why? Because we sent a bunch of them to the Yukis, to Ukraine.
Yeah, I've got that coming up.
What happened with...
Steve Swan talked about that one.
Kulo Daddio.
Oh, yeah. Leon Panetta.
I knew it started with a P. I couldn't get Podesta out of my mind.
Leon Panetta.
How can I forget Leon?
Guard Goldsmith. Yeah, Leon P., the P standing for perfidious.
That's absolutely true.
Well, we're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back.
Stay with us. Hang on just one second.
You.
I'm.

You're listening to The David Knight Show.
What Marky Mark was saying about the Transformers, let's talk about that.
Let's talk about what is not happening in the United States as people are trying to survive.
We've had a massive catastrophe here.
Towns have been completely wiped off the map, according to the governor of North Carolina, who doesn't seem to be doing a great deal to help.
Grid apocalypse hits the Carolinas.
360 substations are down.
Power restoration could take months, maybe a lot longer.
Representative Chuck Edwards, a Republican of North Carolina, released a press release on Sunday, said, We believe about 50% of remaining outages in these areas will require significant replacement and rebuilding of poles, lines, and substation equipment.
That is the key thing.
On Wednesday morning, poweroutage.us data shows more than 400,000 residents are without power in the region still.
And so he explained that 360 power substations are out, indicating that many of those substations were completely flooded.
Duke Energy is unable to assess the damage until the flooding is lowered.
The water's been pumped out, the equipment is thoroughly dried, and then they'll go in.
Because we're talking about electrical stuff.
Anyway, so the key thing is the missing transformers and how long it's going to take to replace those.
The Powering Up of America theme for AI data centers has led to shortages and price increases in the transformer market.
Distribution transformers are a bedrock component of our energy infrastructure.
So as National Renewable Energy Lab researcher, recently quoted by a trade magazine, said that utilities needing to add or to replace them are currently facing high prices and long wait times due to supply chain shortages.
Other reasons are raw material sourcing problems, pandemic-related supply chain woes and backlogs.
We still have supply chain disruptions and backlogs from what Trump did in 2020.
Now, you know, people are talking about this union boss, and we should.
He absolutely doesn't care if he cripples the United States.
But guess what? Neither did Trump.
Trump did cripple the United States.
Four years later, they're still having, this is part of the issue with the substations.
And the transformers.
Jesse Jenkins, an assistant professor of macro energy systems engineering and a policy expert at Princeton University, responded to the dire situation of a great apocalypse playing out in southeastern U.S. He said, this is devastating.
We do not have 360 substations worth of transformers and other electrical equipment sitting in stockpiles.
It could take a very long time to restore power to everybody.
And see, this is what we've always said about EMPs.
When we talk about the danger of an electromagnetic pulse and how it could destroy a lot of equipment, primarily grid equipment, And as we talked about that, and have been talking about that for years, these big transformers, they don't have them sitting around a warehouse.
You know, everything is now just in time, right?
If they're going to do consumer goods, With a just-in-time delivery system, if they're going to do food and other supplies, you better believe that they're not going to take these incredibly expensive transformers, manufacture them, and just sit there waiting for the phone to ring.
They don't have them made up.
And there's only a couple of companies that make these things, and it takes a very long time to get them made.
Some users on X are pointing out that the Biden-Harris administration supplied transformers to Ukraine.
Others are saying that the Ukraine uses a different electrical system than the U.S. Well, certainly they do.
I don't know the detail.
I don't know that because they use a different, probably on the European standard, 50 hertz thing and different, you know, different voltage and different AC frequency standards.
It doesn't mean that you wouldn't use the same factories.
To generate transformers for Ukraine rather than making the American version.
I don't know. I don't know what it takes to alter that.
It could be that you do use the same supply chains.
I don't know. Could be that they're separate, completely separate process.
I would just think there'd be a matter of tooling up, making some minor changes.
Nevertheless, what's not questionable, however, is this.
Earlier in the year, the U.S. Ambassador to Kiev, Bridget Brink, got Blinken, Brink and Nod, I guess.
We have these idiots here.
Jumped for joy on X, indicating that the U.S. Agency for International Development, USAID. Who is that, folks?
That's the CIA. USAID has always been a CIA cover.
As a matter of fact, it was USAID that Obama's mom worked for.
Obama mama worked for the CIA working for USAID. And of course, you know, her family was CIA. It runs in the family, you know.
People who work for the CIA tend to get their kids to work for the CIA. You can see that in the media as well, as I've pointed out many times.
Anyway, she jumped for joy, said the CIA, USAID, had delivered 50 voltage transformers, 9 current transformers, and 80 isolators.
So, you know, there you go.
That's fine for Ukraine to have that stuff, but they come first.
You gotta understand the picking order here, right?
It's Israel first, Ukraine second, and do we even have the U.S. on the list for the federal government?
I don't think so.
Washington elites have been prioritizing Ukraine's power grid over the U.S.'s fragile grid.
Well, to some degree.
Their priority is to shut our grid down.
You know, the EPA declared war last year on our power stations.
They're going to treat them like, you know, tailpipe emissions from a 1970s car or something.
You know, they have declared war on the power-producing plants already.
In the same way they declared war on the internal combustion engine decades ago.
Except this war isn't going to last as long.
They're going to shut them down much more quickly.
Last week, it says Ambassador Bridget Bank, and this was back in May of 2024, Just a few months ago.
Last week we provided, through USAID, 50 voltage transformers, 9 current transformers, 80 isolators, and a partridge in a pear tree to Kharkiv's energy distribution system operator to help energy workers undertake urgent repairs to Kharkiv's electric grid damaged by Russia's missile and drone attacks.
That's the kind of stuff that happens when you kick off wars, you know.
A vehicle specialist with the Atlanta-based nonprofit, automated vehicle specialist, the Atlanta-based nonprofit Center for Transportation and the Environment said, it's hard to express how insane this is.
With ongoing supply chain challenges facing switching gear and transformers, this could take many months to resolve.
He said lower priority sites could literally take years.
Who do you think the lowest priority is?
They're going to be in like rural Republican areas, which is where this stuff is really happening.
And of course, everything is a lower priority than Israel and Ukraine.
Like I said, Americans don't even make the list except to attack us and attack our power grid.
Anna Gorsuch says, they tax us to death.
They still managed to run up over $38 trillion in debt.
And apparently we are financing the infrastructure for other nations and neglecting our own.
No, we're not neglecting our own.
They are focused on destroying our infrastructure.
This is not benign neglect.
This is malicious destruction of our infrastructure.
Ukraine will be fine.
Israel will be fine. The AI overlord technocrats will be fine.
They'll have their own government subsidized, if not completely provided, personal nuclear reactors, and they won't put a lot of that on the grid.
It'll be all for them.
Because that's what the technocracy is about.
Biden and Harris, FCC has nuked 20,000 Starlink terminals for North Carolina a few months ago.
Wanted to punish Musk.
Meanwhile, they violated their own rules to allow George Soros to buy up 200 radio stations.
But the FCC said, no, we're not going to allow the Starlink stuff to go in these rural areas.
We'll see what happens with that.
The governor of North Carolina said hundreds of roads were destroyed.
The entire communities were wiped off the map.
That's his term. Because of the storm Helene.
Literally, Helene on Earth.
Roy Cooper, a Democrat, and this is the first time I've seen him talk about it, being reported.
I don't know that he's done anything to help anybody.
He said, now, we don't need sightseers coming in to observe the damage.
They don't want you taking pictures of the damage, and they don't want you to take pictures of how they're not helping people.
Yesterday, I played the account of a helicopter pilot and a former law enforcement officer.
He had a firefighter or EMS experience as well.
He was helping people, and he takes the first one back in this one area, and these other emergency workers come over, you know, thanks, we'll take care of it from here.
And then this little Barney Fife from the fire department comes up, says, you can't find that thing around here.
If you do, I'm going to call the police, they're going to arrest you, and all the rest of this stuff.
Ran him off. And now he regrets being run off.
But the North Carolina Department of Transportation, All roads in Western North Carolina should be considered to be closed to all non-emergency travel.
The mayor of Asheville said this is a, quote, post-apocalyptic scene.
The power lines look like spaghetti.
It's hard to describe the chaos that it looks like.
We're cut off from highway access from three of the four major highways into Asheville.
In North Carolina, some 300 roads were closed.
More than 7,000 people have registered for FEMA assistance, officials said on September 30th.
The National Guard was flying 1,000 tons of food and water to remote areas by plane and by helicopter.
So the National Guard has been doing something there.
I haven't seen much in terms of pictures.
It really has fallen to the people to help their neighbors.
Because, again, you know, remember when Reagan said, yeah, I'm from the government.
I'm here to help you. We all know what that's really about.
And from what we've seen in the past...
Once the government starts to get there to quote-unquote help the people, it may get even worse for them.
North Carolina was coordinating 92 search and rescue teams from 20 different states and federal government.
Nearly a million people without power in South Carolina and North Carolina.
About 450,000 without power in Georgia.
73,000 without power in Virginia.
64,000 no power in Florida as of the morning of October 1st.
That really surprises me.
I mean, Florida was when it came in.
they had the least effect in terms of power loss. So 64,000, the low in Florida,
and then jumping up to a million in North and South Carolina, half a million
in Georgia. Landfall, it was a category 4 major storm, 140 miles per hour, but of
course it was the rain. Biden said he would visit North Carolina on October
the 2nd, yesterday. Apparently what he did was he got in a helicopter and flew
over Asheville.
All right. Been there, done that.
Got the t-shirt, all the rest of this stuff.
It may also ask Congress to return to Washington for a special session to pass supplemental aid funding.
You really have to do that?
This is the guy who has passed more executive or issued more executive order fiats than any other president.
But I can't do anything unless Congress...
Yeah, it's a cop-out. Come on.
Give me a break. He could easily do something about this if he wanted to.
And so yesterday, one of the listeners said, what?
Where are all the military people?
You know, you got the big base in North Carolina, Fort Bragg, and all this.
Why aren't they doing something about it?
Well, now they're saying that they're fixing to do something about it.
They're thinking about it. Thinking about it.
Here we are a week later. A thousand active-duty soldiers are going to deploy to Western North Carolina, they said.
This is the 18th Airborne Corps based at Fort Liberty.
That's what Americans call Fort Bragg, where the 82nd Airborne is.
The soldiers were expected to arrive in western North Carolina right about now, about a week after the storm coming through.
They're going to support FEMA. They're going to assist with supply point logistics and removing debris from affected routes.
Well, there's just an unbelievable amount of debris.
And even before they can start on repairing any roads or anything, I mean, they're just places where the houses were.
The land that was underneath the houses is gone.
The places where there was road, the land that was under the roads is completely gone.
North Carolina Department of Transportation reopened Interstate 40 East on Tuesday.
But it is still working to clear and to repair smaller roads that people rely on to travel to the mountains.
I guess maybe you can go east.
You cannot go west there in that.
Meanwhile, as I said, Biden decided that he was going to visit.
The death hole is now 50 in North Carolina alone, from what they're saying.
But hundreds of people are still unaccounted for days later.
And so he did a flyby and flyover country, as they call it.
In mountainous North Carolina, residents are the first responders.
This article from CS Monitor.
During 12 years as a National Guard member in New York, Tom Ford worked on relief missions to hurricane-hit communities, including when Hurricane Sandy pummeled the New York area in 2012.
But he has never seen anything as bad as the impact of Hurricane Helene on his rural Appalachian community in North Carolina.
He said water systems in Asheville could take weeks to restore.
Residents are depending on trucked potable water.
Asheville residents are lining up for gasoline at a gas station.
I'm surprised that they have one that's working with so much power problems.
After the storm passed, Mr.
Ford joined his neighbors in clearing debris from back roads using chainsaws and trucks.
Others have used mules.
Almost everyone in Henderson can share stories of pitching in to help, ferrying food to stranded neighbors, removing tree limbs strewn around.
Some survivors have been rescued by boat or helicopter.
Many others are still unaccounted for.
And some of them, you know, when helicopters want to go in and help them, you got the little Barney Fife working for the fire department says, you can't, I'm going to arrest you.
This is something that never happened before in Western North Carolina, he said.
There was a flood in 1916 that swelled the French Broad River to 21 feet above its normal level.
80 people died as a result of a flood.
Last Friday, this river peaked at more than 24 feet.
But again, what we're looking at is not something that is unprecedented.
This is the way, though, it is being presented across the board.
One article after the other.
So predictable.
That they're selling this as a result of climate change.
No, we've had comparable things like this within the short microscopic period of time that we've been keeping records.
The grocery stores, if they're open, have long lines and folks, they only accept cash.
All the things that we've been talking about in terms of prep and all the rest of this.
Again, think about these types of things.
Think about what you need to have on hand to prepare for things like this so that you can help your neighbors if it's, you know, if it wipes out your house, that's one thing.
But if you're there and you still got canned goods and things like that to be able to help people.
But also, to know your neighbors, to work with your neighbors, they're the ones that you're going to depend on.
It's not going to be the government.
Here we are a week later, and like I said, you know, the neighbors have gone all over the place before the government even thinks about putting its pants on.
And so, get CivilDefenseManual.com, as I point out many times.
Jack Lawson's got great tips in there to protect yourself from all kinds of natural disasters, all kinds of unrest and things like that.
This is just another example.
So, one person they spoke to has lined up with dozens of other vehicles outside a food distribution center run by a Christian non-profit.
Same pattern that we see over and over again.
Local communities can help people so much better than FEMA does.
And of course, FEMA's not coming in to...
The government or other...
The state government or the federal government can help people with funds to rebuild homes and things like that with loans and stuff like that.
But when it comes to emergency response, you really do need to depend on each other, not on the government.
The more distant the government is from you, the more...
Distant it is from you.
Distant from even being concerned about you.
We come together as a community to support each other.
That's right. You need to prepare.
You need to practice. You need to look at the advice that's in the Civil Defense Manual.
Understand that. Another American citizen confirms that he's been told, do not help Hurricane Helene victims.
By the Lala administration.
Of course, we've got the Democrat governor in North Carolina.
Stay away from there. Don't want you there.
Don't want you taking pictures. Don't want you bringing in food.
Stay away. Don't tell people what we're not doing.
He said, I'd planned to go to East Tennessee, trying to see who may need my thermal drone the most, he said, and whoever I could assist better, but we're being told to stand down.
Here's what he has to say.
When I tell y'all I'm super frustrated at the moment, it's not a lie.
You know, for the past 48 hours, I had planned to go to East Tennessee, you know, Irwin, Newport, and all that, tomorrow.
And for the last 48 hours, I've also been on the phone with EMA, operational people, you know, trying to see who may need my thermodrome most and whoever I could assist better.
You know, and then I get a phone call and an email where we're being told to stand down.
I've also spoken to rescue crews that are there right now.
You know, and it's one thing I'll say about social media most people know and somebody knows somebody and they see somebody.
I've had emails where I've had a woman named Laura ask for help.
Her brother got swept away.
They have a video of him being swept away.
And she's just asking for help to get him.
And yet we're being told to stand down.
I have heard from people, Danielle and Alex, no offense to throw you off, I've heard from these two people about how he went to take generators and supplies there and he was turned down.
The water, food, stuff like that, turned down.
Why? You have people that really need things, and I get it.
It's such a disarray.
I understand this was all so fast, but at the end of the day, man, putting a halt to everything while there's people's lives at stake that are sitting out there somewhere that don't have anything, that may be trapped, may be hurt, and you're asking people to stand down that have the capabilities to help somebody?
It doesn't make sense to me.
Make it make sense. I don't understand.
Now, if you was going to tell me, hey, the military's coming in here, Coast Guard's coming in here, they're in here immediately.
Maybe it would. Maybe I'm missing something.
I don't know. But being told, hey man, yeah, just hold off for a minute.
We're trying to get things figured out.
Steve Fisher got told the same thing.
Others have been told the same thing.
Even crews that are in there working right now have been told to stand down.
Why? And it's in certain locations.
It's about power. It's about ego.
But when FEMA comes out and says it, it's for the whole general area across Tennessee.
And I'm sure Carolina's doing the same.
Nashville. Frustrated is an understatement, man.
See, my whole life...
Well, we saw it in a microcosm with that statement from the helicopter pilot.
You know, you get these people out there. They want to be in charge.
They've got to be in charge. It is far more important for them to be in charge, far more important for them to run their little bureaucracy than it is to actually help people.
That's not their mission. They're on a power trip.
They're on an ego trip. You know, we're going to set this thing up and I don't want you getting in my way.
Well, you're not doing anything, right?
Haven't done anything for a week.
And now you're going to tell the people who've been helping for a week, go away.
You can't help anymore. And this is what we've seen over and over again.
Like I said, that's why my son did that video.
And won that contest.
Because this is the way that the federal government and big government always operates.
Sometimes it's the state level as well, but it's always the federal government.
Always acts this way.
So he says, putting a halt to everything while people's lives are at stake.
They're sitting out there somewhere that don't have anything.
People that may be trapped.
People that may be hurt. A week later...
And you're asking people to stand down to have the capability to help somebody?
Yeah, that's the government.
That's what they do. Hurricane Helene, a Tennessee resident says, Tennessee's and FEMA sending out text messages telling everybody, do not help neighbors in need.
We don't want you to donate stuff to other people.
They've got to see the government as their savior.
You need to just donate money and stuff to us and get your instructions from us and you need to listen to us.
Don't even want you to donate your time, she said.
Well, you're gonna have to just excuse my appearance because we have no power.
We have no running water.
But I'm just so pissed off that I've got to make this clear.
We got a notification from TEMA. I'm guessing that's FEMA for Tennessee.
I'm not exactly sure. I think it's supposed to be the disaster relief people.
But they were like, do not donate your time.
We don't want you to donate time unless we ask for you.
And we don't want you to donate stuff to other people.
You need to just donate money and stuff to us and get your instructions from us and listen to us.
I'm in charge here.
And then, they said yesterday, we don't go into areas that the roads are not easily accessible.
What? You are the disaster relief people.
That is your job to go into the areas that are hit by disaster and provide relief.
Not to just go to the easy area and sit and wait for the people that are in the disaster area to be able to come to you.
The roads that we do have were cleared by the locals and you have to have trucks and stuff to be able to get through there.
Like, it's just beyond me.
So, and you have us all messed up.
If you think you're going to come here and bark orders at us and then expect the people just to give you the money and us trust that you're going to try to take care of us when you don't go into areas that are not easily accessible.
What? Like, this is Cock County, girl.
So... Yeah.
Well, we'll get there eventually.
After the Department of Transportation rebuilds the roads, we'll go in there and see if we can help with anybody.
Well, I've got some comments here.
Little Ford Schoolhouse said they were reporting this morning that all water treatment facilities have been catastrophically damaged.
I imagine that's a given.
And that they will have to completely rebuild them.
Well, maybe this time they can make sure they don't put fluoride in the water.
That might be a blessing in the long term.
I know these people need to have water now.
And you're not supposed to give them water.
Don't give them any water. It's like them arresting people trying to give water to Terri Shavo as the probate judge was starving her to death.
Because he was in charge.
Live, free, or perish.
David, check out geoengineeringwatch.org.
He showed that Nextrad was used to direct and increase Hurricane Helene.
I saw that, and I saw that on Friday.
And I mentioned it kind of tangentially yesterday.
I said, I've seen the radar pictures.
I've seen the shooting straight lines and how they converge.
And people are saying, well, we think this directed and intensified the hurricane.
And all that may be true.
And I said yesterday, I said the big mistakes we make about government is to underestimate what they're technologically capable of doing.
And to overestimate their morality.
These people are morally capable of doing anything.
They don't care about anything.
I mean, we can see that in spades throughout 2020, right?
In case you never saw it anywhere else.
And it's amazing what they can do with technology.
I mean, I think we've got nanotech and the vaccines, but I chose not to focus primarily on the geoengineering, not to focus primarily on the nanotechnology, but to try to focus on what's going on with the mines, because that is really kind of a smoking gun as to the motive as to why they would do this.
But it's also something that they have planned this, and they are going to go through with this, and it is going to be even worse destruction than a hurricane, even if they weaponize that hurricane.
What they're going to do with these quartz and lithium mines, and they've already set up a lithium processing plant, and on and on, and this quartz...
This is the only supply of this particular type of quartz that's needed in all of semiconductor manufacturing.
It's the sole source of this globally, right there at the epicenter of all of this stuff.
And the residents didn't want that expanded, and the residents didn't want the lithium mining reopened and expanded, but they started that process about two years ago.
And I talked yesterday at length about the toxic implications of those mines and all the rest of it.
I think it's important for us to focus on what is concrete and provable.
I know that the technology is there, and I'm sure that my audience also believes that they're capable of doing any of this stuff and most likely did that.
But I think we need to focus on what's going on with this mind stuff because that's the next step.
That's where they really harm us. In the same way that we could talk about the vaccine, we didn't know exactly what they were going to do with the vaccine.
We knew that it was untested.
We knew that it was mRNA.
We knew it was some kind of a genetic thing.
We didn't necessarily know if it was nanotech in there at the very beginning.
But we didn't know that you want to tell your neighbor, don't get this stuff.
It's not been tested. And even their explanation of it.
Was something straight out of a horror movie.
Yeah, we're going to put this thing in.
It's going to turn your body into this...
It's going to start manufacturing this stuff.
How do you ever turn that off?
Is this going to be some kind of like a cancerous thing or something?
You're going to manipulate people's genetics to start manufacturing something?
That was a non-starter, right?
So we need to focus on the fact they gave themselves legal immunity.
We need to focus on the fact this is unproven, untested to the public.
We need to look at what they're openly admitting.
And in the same way with this, I think we need to focus on these minds.
And we need to focus on what this insane rush over the cliff is.
With all this green stuff is really about.
How it's not green at all.
It's not environmental at all.
You know, the EPA began to clean up toxic waste sites.
And then it became about shutting down our society.
And now, the part of shutting down our society is to create massive toxic waste sites in the name of EV batteries.
Don't tell me that's clean.
And so we need to shut that kind of stuff down.
That's where I think we really need to focus on it.
M Sellers, the local news finally started showing government help yesterday, but they kept using the same picture of one tanker-style vehicle parked at a donation center.
Yeah. Problem is, I was at the store yesterday, and the bottled water was stripped off the shelves.
Toilet paper was gone.
People had huge carts full, just like the COVID scandemic.
Yeah. Same type of thing.
And we're going to talk about that coming up as well.
By the way, when it comes to toilet paper, you don't need to panic.
Because something like 90% of the paper is manufactured domestically.
They don't make that in China, I guess, anymore.
It made me think of the story, Karen, while we were there.
I've already told you about the experience she had at the restroom at McDonald's.
We took our daughter there.
And it was a big treat for her because it's like McDonald's, she knew about the real special thing.
But she goes to take her to the bathroom and there's no toilet, just a hole in the floor.
And it was raised and she tripped over it and was hand down...
She says, don't tell people all this stuff.
She came out and she says, I'm so disgusted, we've got to go back to the hotel.
But toilet paper was also not something that they were very big on.
And when we came back to the United States and we came in through New York, she, again, takes our daughter, who was just under five, takes her to the restroom.
And... And she was, you know, working with luggage or something like that, and our daughter grabs one of these big rolls, big commercial rolls, you know, that are maybe like, you know, a foot and a half across, the giant ones.
And she grabs this and comes around and goes, Mama, Mama!
It's like we hit the jackpot.
Look at all of this toilet paper, because she'd just been introduced to toilet paper, and it's like, look, this is the biggest supply of toilet paper I've ever seen.
And so I think we're going to be okay with toilet paper because most of that is manufactured domestically.
The Chinese don't have too much use for that, even maybe to sell it to us.
It's going to be other things that are going to be there.
But Dusty Milton says, so illegal immigrants get luxury apartments and food stamp cards.
But citizens who lost everything get to stay in FEMA stadiums.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's what they're going to concentrate on, the concentration camps.
And, you know, it's amazing.
Professional sports, it just fills, it ticks off so many boxes for our government controllers, doesn't it?
It trains us to think in groups.
I keep thinking back to our high school pep rallies that we'd have because I was in the band.
I went to all the, I would not have gone to the pep rallies otherwise, but we're
setting there playing in the band and they're always like, Oh, we got to kill
this group over here and it goes, make a, that's what we did in the band.
We started this make them bleed a cheer, you know, just to mock how they get
everybody all fired up to go attack whoever this week's opponent is.
And so we're going to make them bleed.
So anyway, the John Doe.
It's reported that Davy Crockett High School had donations at the school in Jonesboro, Tennessee, and TEMA, you know, the Tennessee Emergency Management Association, and the Red Cross said they cannot be distributed.
Wow. Wow.
And see, that's precisely what my son pointed out had happened at the coast with state and federal officials who got involved versus a localized tornado in a community very close to us where neighbors helped neighbors and everything worked out.
Local police kept people away from the down power lines and everybody else brought what they had, took it to the church parking lots and the church people distributed it.
And we talked about that yesterday as well.
That one church, I forget whether it was North Carolina or Tennessee, where he said it's a small town, 15,000 people.
And he said already 5,000 people have come through.
And we're just giving people food and water and things like that.
It's crazy.
Yeah, I'm from the government. I'm here to make things worse.
No matter how bad things are, the government's going to make it worse.
Again, take a look at Civil Defense Manual.
There's two volumes of this.
CivilDefenseManual.com.
Let's see. We have Cicada17.
David, we appreciate your prayers for my in-laws who live just north of Tampa.
Turns out they lost everything.
I'm so sorry. Home and possessions are gone.
They are heartbroken. Please continue praying for them.
For the LO? Well, we will.
We'll pray for them.
And, you know, and I know what that is like.
Karen's brother, when he was at the wedding of Travis in Austin, they came to the wedding.
And while they were at the wedding, their house was struck by lightning and burned down.
And, you know, just like a flood, you lose everything.
All your personal photos and your possessions and your home.
And, you know, that happened a couple years ago now, right?
Almost two years?
Three years. Wow.
Yeah, time flies when you get old.
So, and they still are not back in their house.
Insurance company put them up in a temporary home and everything.
But yeah, there's a lot of things that you just can't replace.
And I'm so sorry that that happened to your in-laws.
But I'm glad that they're okay.
Just north of Tampa. That's where I grew up, lived.
Well, Mayorkas says FEMA doesn't have the funds to make it through the season.
Yeah, that's the next excuse we're going to hear.
They just don't have the money. Isn't it funny how they don't have the money for anything to help us?
Money doesn't seem to be an object for anything else, and of course it isn't an object because the Federal Reserve just conjures up the cash out of thin air, right?
They don't care about balancing the budget.
This is why I say, look at the IRS. Why do we have the IRS when they're increasing the deficit by a trillion dollars every 100 days at this rate?
And they're going to accelerate that.
Why do we even have the IRS? The income tax has never been close.
To being the, even when the inflows and outflows were momentarily balanced back when Clinton was president and Gingrich was running the House.
They balanced it for like a couple of years.
And they were not increasing the deficit.
But even in a situation like that, the income tax was a very small part of their income.
Why, if they are so unconcerned about the deficit, and why, if they say with the MMT, the modern monetary theory, that deficits don't matter, why do we have an IRS? Why are we making the IRS seven times bigger than it is?
And so you look at this and you say, well, we've got an emergency.
People need some help. I just don't have any money in the budget for FEMA. Sorry about that.
But the Biden-Harris FEMA spent over a billion dollars on funding for illegal aliens.
They always have the money for what they want to do.
But if somebody talks about, let's cut taxes on this or that, you can't cut taxes.
That'll blow up the deficit.
It's like, yeah, tell me about it.
They're looting the treasury, says Bernie Sanders, if you want to cut taxes.
Whenever you start talking about doing something for us, all these people become fiscal hawks.
Well, I can't give you any money to these people who've been hit by the storm.
I can't cut taxes.
I mean, you know, look at what's going to happen to the deficit.
But when they start handing out trillions of dollars to their pals in the climate grift, money is no object.
No, money is no object. As a matter of fact, by handing out all of this money to people for these green, crony, capitalist, corrupt schemes, they call that an Inflation Reduction Act.
Yeah, well...
Hurricane Helene is the deadliest storm since Katrina.
Fatalities have now reached 182.
The majority of deaths are reported in North Carolina.
It looks like there could be as many as 600 lost lives.
We know that there are 600 people still who are lost or unaccounted for.
At least 57 people died in and around Nashville only, right?
Just there alone.
South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster said deaths from the storm in his state rose to 36.
But, you know, more people, 57, died just in that town of Asheville than all the state of South Carolina.
Among the dead were Marcia and Jerry Savage, pictured there.
Let's scroll it down a little bit.
Yeah. 74 and 78.
Who were found embracing one another in bed after being killed by a fallen tree that crushed their home.
Their grandson, 22, found them, told the Associated Press it was like his grandfather had rolled
over to protect his wife right before the death.
The dead include two South Carolina firefighters.
Killed when a tree fell on their truck.
This is the issue around here.
This is the issue when Frank came through in North Carolina.
It's not unprecedented for this type of thing to happen.
It's all the rain and then some wind, but not even hurricane-force wind.
But it's the falling trees that are really dangerous.
Falling on trucks, falling on people's homes and that type of thing.
Blocking roads, taking down power lines.
Tennessee State Authority said on Wednesday that they're investigating the company that owns a plastic factory where 11 workers were swept away by flooding.
Impact Plastics Factory in Irwin, Tennessee.
They kept them working.
They had several people who said they'd lost power.
And the person who was the manager said that, well, I've got to wait until the owners tell me that you can go.
You've got to stay here. A lot of poor people working in this, you tell from what they had to say and the way they talked.
A lot of illegal immigrants that were there, and they had absolutely no concern for them.
And 11 of them were swept away with the floods that came.
Waiting for approval.
We've got to stop letting people tell us what to do when we know what's the right thing to do.
In hindsight like that, but I mean always...
I'm not trying to criticize them.
Just keep this in mind.
You know, stop following orders.
If we could just get people to stop putting the masks on.
Stop shutting down their businesses.
Stop doing all the things that Trump had us doing.
And if we could stop the people in media like Alex Jones telling you it's 4D chess because they've got a political agenda, because they've got an agenda for their organization.
I am so sick and tired of people being lied to.
And having their lives ended or destroyed because of those kinds of lies.
Helene is the second deadliest hurricane to hit the mainland since Katrina.
That one killed nearly 1,400 people.
And of course, a lot of that was incompetence on the part of the federal government as well.
And so now we get to, this is the independent out of the UK. So now we get to the obligatory rah-rah for climate change stuff.
And listen to the way they put this.
This is one of the most absurd things I've seen yet.
A consortium Well, I think it did have a human component.
We can look at the Pentagon for that.
But a consortium of scientists?
This is more important and impressive than a consensus of scientists.
Now we've graduated from a consensus to a consortium.
Like it's some kind of a formal group.
That's going to sit there and pontificate to us.
Folks, science isn't about expert pronouncements.
That's what Francis Bacon pushed back against when he created the scientific method.
He said, we're going to have, to do science, you're going to show us your data and see if we can reproduce it.
We're going to have objective, critical, skeptical examination of what you're telling us, and you're going to have to prove it.
Francis Bacon was from Missouri.
You know that? Anyway, yeah, a consortium.
Well, it's a con.
It's a conspiracy.
Rainfall was up 20% heavier, and winds were up to 7% stronger.
So, you know, the consortium says...
That this is due to climate change, and climate change is due to you and your car.
It's not due to anything that the government's, it's not due to their wars, right?
Not due to all the rockets and the bombs and the jet planes and all the private jets of Taylor Swift and the celebrities.
Not due to any of that.
It's you. It's you.
You got a gas range?
You're the problem. You're the problem.
You got a barbecue grill? You're the problem.
We don't want to have that kind of stuff because, you know, power goes down, people would still be able to cook if they got some food that hasn't been washed away.
But they said it was 20 percent, the rain was 20 percent heavier and the winds were 7 percent stronger.
Stronger than what?
Stronger than what? This is this kind of vague pronouncements from so-called experts at a consortium, and they use that term more than once in this article.
Here it is again. The consortium noted that the elevated ocean temperature in the Gulf of Mexico likely contributed to Helene's power.
Nonsense. It picked up power after it went ashore.
Did the consortium notice that?
I am just disgusted with mainstream media and the lies.
The consortium said, in the past, damage from hurricanes was primarily wind damage, but now we're seeing so much more water damage, and that is a result of the warm waters, which is a result of climate change, which is a result of human activity, she said.
Like I said before, 1996 when Fran came through, I'd never been in a hurricane that was that devastating in all the years that I grew up in.
I was in Tampa the first 25 years of my life.
Never saw anything like that.
I never saw damage that lasted that long.
We were out of power for over a week where we were.
Because again, we were not in one of the heavily populated areas.
But look, this is absolute, utter nonsense.
It was heavy rain in these areas like this where the soil is different than it is in Florida.
Yes, Florida gets the surging and it gets the flood surge and anything like that.
But Florida gets heavy rain all the time and it gets frequent rain and it's got a porous soil.
So it's the storm surge that does a lot of damage there.
But it's here, it's a sustained rainfall over a period of time.
That is nothing new.
There's nothing. It just recently happened in 1996, okay?
So we're talking about 30 years ago.
Not quite. Junk silver.
FEMA is mandating that no one give this stream a thumbs up.
They will determine when and where liking of any given stream is safe.
That's right. Please do like the broadcast wherever you're watching it.
If you're watching it live or if you're watching it recorded, we really do appreciate it.
And we're trying to stream the truth where they're trying to stream floods and they're trying to keep people from speaking, talking, helping their fellow neighbor.
You know, it's just amazing how the government is weaponized against us.
We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.
All right, Tony is going to be joining us a little bit.
Tony Urban, we're going to talk about what's happening economically.
But before he does, we've got a couple of short articles here about the impact of the strike.
Whenever we had a listener say he went to the store, shelves were empty, toilet paper, bottled water, things like that being taken out.
It's hard to tell whether that's about the hurricane or whether that is about panic buying.
This is a trade publication for shipping.
Panic buying is already spreading as the dock worker strike gets underway.
Reports of panic buying at supermarkets almost immediately begin to start spreading across social media.
Water, toilet paper, paper towels.
Are people already panic buying because of the port strike?
And then they show pictures of what's happening with the empty shelves.
So here's what was going on at my local Kroger this morning.
Clean. That's amazing.
Everything is gone. Well, the panic buying is in full swing in my little town in South Carolina.
That's Sam's, said another person.
8.30 in the morning and no water.
Same at Walmart and the grocery stores.
Next, it'll be the toilet paper.
Well, the Longshoreman Union said the latest reported wage increase proposal.
50%, as I pointed out yesterday, 50% increase over six years in a new contract was rejected by the members.
They won at least 70%.
Pretty amazing. Nobody else is getting 70%.
Anyway, affected ports include three of the U.S.'s five busiest ports, the Port of New York and New Jersey, the Port of Savannah, Georgia, the Port and Port Houston.
And so, after more than two years of runaway inflationary pressure, and in the midst of recovery from Hurricane Helene, this strike will result in further hardship for American families.
Said someone from the Biden administration.
Nevertheless, I'm sorry, that was not from the Biden administration.
This was somebody who was telling the Biden administration to do something about it.
But of course, they're not going to do something about that.
They're focused on wars, right?
For international destinations, waterborne exports are vital to farmers.
They are going to be hurt by this, of course.
They make up over 75% of total U.S. agricultural export volume.
The potential strike that we're looking at would mainly disrupt containerized agricultural exports, which account for 30% of U.S. waterborne agricultural exports by volume.
The remaining 70%, things like grains and seed oils shipped via bulk carriers, usually managed by independent workforces, will not be affected by the strike.
U.S. farmers could be particularly vulnerable to a strike that lasts a week or more.
The strike could have disastrous impacts on U.S. agriculture depending on how long it lasts.
The disruption to overall agricultural trade is expected to be about $1.4 billion each week that a strike is in place.
That's a pretty good return on investment for these unions.
The Longshoremen Union gave $1.5 million, $1.6 million, to the Biden administration.
And then they're able to do $1.4 billion of damage a week to the economy.
That's the kind of return on investment you get with corrupt governments like the American federal government.
Commodities are at risk.
80% of water exports from poultry leave East Coast ports.
56% of raw cotton.
36% of red meat.
30% of dairy products.
Well, we don't want to have those things made anyway, right?
I mean, it kind of works out.
The Biden administration doesn't want people to have red meat, dairy products, poultry.
Retailers that are going to be affected are going to be the big box people like Walmart, Home Depot, and others because...
They bring their stuff in from China.
So, again, but when we get to the toilet paper, as I said earlier, this is from, well, CNN has reported, among others, that when you look at the hoarding of toilet paper and paper towels and stuff like that, said an estimated 90% of toilet paper used in the US comes
from domestic factories. Most of the rest, the other 10%, comes from
Canada and Mexico, which means that it's all going to be arriving by rail or by
truck and so it's not something that's going to be subjected to the strike. The
trade group represents paper manufacturers is concerned that toilet paper made in
the US won't reach foreign markets, meaning that there could be a glut of
paper and not a shortage.
They might actually have more of it available because they can't export some
of it and most of it is made here.
So calm down. It might upset your stomach, and then you'd have to go to the bathroom.
So we'll talk about that a little bit more.
We're going to have Tony join us now.
He is on the line, and we want to talk about what's going on financially because a lot of things are really ramping up.
Things are changing very, very quickly.
We'll be right back.
Welcome back.
Making sense.
It's common again.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
Let Tony know that you're coming through us.
But again, if you want to prepare for the kind of...
There's uncertain destabilizing situations that we've got.
I mean, in Lebanon, amongst other things, of course, along with war, they've got hyperinflation.
You take a look at what is happening there to see what is likely to happen in America.
You know, Peter Schiff is already talking about that, saying, well, I think gold's going to go up to 26,000 an ounce.
Well, that would mean that we're going through hyperinflation, but I think pretty much anything is on the table right now.
So we were just talking about toilet paper shortages and everything.
There is no shortage of fiat currency.
They are making this stuff up as they go along.
A lot of it is digital.
It's going to be a little bit hard to use in the bathroom.
But joining us now is Tony Harbin.
Thanks for coming on, Tony. I guess that's the upside to hyperinflation as we were discussing off air.
It goes hyperinflation. You got toilet paper ready made for you right there.
It's your fiat currency. The amount of fiat currency in the world, the answer is more if you want to know how much fiat currency there is.
Always just a bit more.
And not just a little bit more, but a lot more.
That's what makes these guys rich and powerful, isn't it?
To manipulate that. Well, yesterday we had a bit of a panic.
I actually had somebody send us a thing saying, hey, the banks are out.
I went to Bank of America and they said that all the computers are down for all the banks.
So I looked at it, it's like, well, no, that's just Bank of America.
Maybe what the person was saying was maybe it was all of the branch banks of Bank of America were down, because that did happen yesterday.
But it just underscores the vulnerability of our entire infrastructure, including the banking system and the computers that are there, doesn't it?
Well, absolutely. And there might be a reason that Warren Buffett sold $10 billion of Bank of America stock just recently got out of that.
The whole banking sector is in question.
And they might be too big to fail and too big to jail, but not too big to lose your money.
And it's electronic.
When you make a deposit...
That's no longer your money.
You're giving that over to the bank.
That's just the way banking works.
They'll take those currency units and invest them, and then they have an IOU. That's what your bank account is.
I expect to see more of these kind of glitches, especially with AI and some of these computational systems they've got with banking.
We saw what happened after FTX and Silicon Valley Bank and all the stress that was put on those regional banks.
This could be a prelude to...
Yeah, I think it was Zero Hedge that had the story about Bank of America, and they put in the little clip that's now become something of a meme from, I think, Family Guy.
And the little kid goes into the bank, and he says, my grandpa gave me $100 and told me to put it in the bank where it'll be safe.
And the guy says, he's a smart guy, give me that money.
And he says, and we're going to put it in this and this and this.
And he goes, and it's gone.
He says, what? And it's gone.
And it's gone. It just disappeared.
He goes, what? I just gave it to you.
It's gone. It's gone.
It's gone. He goes, I want to talk to somebody.
He goes, you got an account here? He goes, yeah, just open one.
He goes, you got any money in it?
Well, then you're not a customer. You're gone too.
You know, that type of thing. That's what the banks are good for.
You know, quite frankly, if Warren Buffett is selling all of this stock, I would expect that if you or I were to have that kind of money and we sold everything all at once and then Bank of America goes down, you might have the FBI knocking on your door, but they won't do that to Warren Buffett.
I guess he's not a suspect in the hacking stuff, right?
They absolutely would come after us, for sure.
And I think Warren Buffett gets a free pass on stuff like that.
Some of those players in the financial system.
You know, Warren Buffett, it was kind of a side note for precious metals.
Back in the 90s, he did some sort of quasi-cornering of the silver market, and then he quietly walked away.
I always noticed that was interesting because, you know, the Hunts did that in the 70s.
The Hunt family in Texas.
Oh, that was a big deal when they did it.
Yeah. And it caused them their fortune.
And the deep state went after them.
They exposed the weakness of the dollar after we went off the gold standard.
But if you go back and look at your history, Warren Buffett did that.
He was going to corner the physical silver market, and then it just kind of went away.
I don't know if he got a call and said, don't do that.
Because in the 90s, if you recall, in the 80s and 90s, Precious metals were pretty much flat and the market was up and then they had the tech stocks and all that and the bubbles going into the early 2000s.
And so, you know, we're way past that now and all those things have been exposed for the drains that they are and not true wealth.
But yeah, there was a time that Warren Buffett went after the silver market and then just stopped.
Wow. Wow. You were saying as we joined you, we were laughing about the toilet paper stuff and everything.
We were saying Costco is starting to branch out from selling gold when they've got it to something else.
What else is it that they're selling?
They're going to start selling platinum along with their hot dogs.
And massive amounts of toilet paper.
Paper towels, toilet paper, and you can get a platinum bar at Costco.
They're doing like $100 to $200 million a month in gold bars at Costco.
A lot of places, what I've read is that They'll just front-end load them and sell them and they'll be out.
So they're selling a massive amount of gold through there.
This is, and I think it's just the beginning too, David.
I mean, this is like a small sliver of the American consciousness is starting to pick up on, oh, this is money.
Oh, I see this as an asset and this is not.
And, you know, the diminishing purchasing power of the dollar bleeding into popular culture just...
We're on the tip of that. I mean, it's nowhere near saturation at this point.
Yeah, I think it was when you were on last week or sometime this last week I talked about that.
The guy says, well, I haven't had any taxi drivers or barbers trying to sell me on gold or silver.
They've always got tips, stock tips and things like that in New York, you know, about what stock I should buy.
And he goes, and so we know that there's a massive retail market that hasn't broken yet.
You know, it's like after everybody starts telling you you need to buy gold, well, then it's at that point in time, or whatever it is, whatever stock is, at that point, it's probably oversold by the time it works its way down.
But he says he hasn't had anybody telling him that he needs to buy gold.
You know, the central banks are kind of keeping it to themselves at this point.
They know what they're doing, and they know where this is all headed, and they're making the preparations accordingly.
And then at some point in time, everybody else will catch on, and then you will have missed it at that point in time, I guess.
We'll be into hyperinflation.
They're definitely not putting out notices to the public service announcement saying, you know, you should also have some gold.
You should have some precious metals.
I noticed the government of Tanzania ordered their miners to sell them 20% of their take whenever they're pulling gold out of the ground.
They've been ordered to sell to the central bank for market prices because they're accumulating, which is interesting.
That's like a... That's one of those national moves where they get strategic on their gold placement.
And I've talked about it for years now, about how these countries, they hide their gold reserves more than they hide their nuclear weapons, more than they hide their arsenals, and it's more secretive.
And you can see that, too, just around the world, especially as The tensions ramp up, and I was listening to you here in the last couple hours talk about what's going on in the Middle East and geopolitical tensions.
You can see the gold continuing to move around the world, except for the United States, basically in the West, which is really interesting.
I was reading a book about gold facts, and they had this write-up about auroraphobia, which is the fear of gold.
Did you know that that's an actual disease?
They treat people with...
And I'm thinking maybe a lot of our central bankers here in the United States, they have auroraphobia.
We don't buy gold.
We're afraid of gold. We try to stay away from it as much as possible in the West.
And so you're starting to see somewhat of the public, like in the Costco story here in the United States, picking up gold.
But most of the gold price drive, David, is happening because central banks are buying it around the world.
Governments are hoarding it because they're looking to see a monetary reset and geopolitical tensions and war.
That's right.
They're creating inflation. They're creating the financial reset, and they're going to make sure they've got something real to hang on to.
But we also see, you know, every day there's more coming out in one place or the other, trying to move us into digital cash, trying to take away cash.
And of course, you know, how's that going to work out in a situation like you got in North Carolina and Tennessee where people have no power?
If they got a grocery store that's there, they're going to deal strictly in cash.
That even happened around here when we went out, and even though we didn't lose power here, the computer terminals were down, and they were only taking cash at the store.
But when you don't have any power, this digital stuff isn't really going to work.
But the World Bank... Now, you know, it's not just an individual company, a country.
But of course, this is central.
The Bank of International Settlements, the World Bank, the International Monetary, all of them on the same page.
And the World Bank now wants to replace signatures and people with biometric data, with digital IDs.
If you're going to work in this system, that's what they're going to be doing to us.
They're going to push us all into digital biometrics and all the rest of the stuff.
It's one of the reasons why I am so focused on the gold and silver stuff.
To me, that is as big if not a more important reason than the financial stuff, because the
financial stuff comes and goes.
We go through these cycles, but this is relentless in terms of pushing us into this technocracy.
And you got to have something that is real, something that is anonymous, something that
is physical, I think, as a counter to that.
you I couldn't agree more.
If you look at history, what it teaches us is that whenever you have uncertainty, whenever there's inflation, whenever there's debasement by governments, people always turn back to precious metals.
And it's not something... I didn't make those rules.
It's just the way it is all throughout recorded history.
And we have some new technologies right now.
You see cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, and I support those things.
And they're important, especially if they're decentralized, especially if it's something like Bitcoin, where you hope, you know, your keys, your wallet, your Bitcoin.
I like that. And you're mentioning the World Bank.
You know, the biometric systems, the Bank of International Settlements, looking for those clearinghouses and doing the same kind of thing with their blueprints for central bank digital currency.
These are all things that we need to watch because that's the grid that they want to put us under.
But if you're looking at something outside of the system, truly to really completely be outside of it.
And by the way, I support Bitcoin and I'm going to do more things in Bitcoin in the future with Wise Wolf.
But gold and silver are truly outside of it because they're not digitized.
And they do something that Bitcoin and cryptocurrency can't do.
And again, I support crypto.
So a lot of the crypto people will think that I'm just a gold bug.
No, I support that.
But gold and silver exist in the third dimension.
You can hold them in your hand.
And I'm sorry, that's something that crypto can't do.
You can actually see them, touch them, and you can carry them around.
They represent a store of energy.
In this realm.
Or a store of value, too, in this realm.
So I would say that that's really going to be important, learning that in the coming years.
And I think there's a lot of positive coming out of what's happened over the last five years, David.
I mean, with the debasement of the dollar, people caught on.
The inflation was just too...
It's too much of a shock.
It happened too fast.
And, you know, you and I both know that...
Going into 2020, they had already just done massive currency printing of the dollar, you know, like $6 trillion in the overnights for the repo markets.
I mean, that's when I was first coming on your show talking about that.
It was like, in like one month, we're doing the GDP of South Korea, you know, and just...
Switzerland! And one of these dumps in the repo market, it was the entire GDP of Switzerland, which is the 20th largest economy in the world.
I mean, that's just the scale of this derivative fraud that we call the Federal Reserve.
Right. And so we knew going in, and so you add that plus COVID-1984, you add that, and just again, the dollar has been decimated.
And that's why we're seeing, you know, the price shock at the grocery store, at the gas pump, everywhere, you know, just everything's gone up.
I mean, I get notices all the time from things I had on automatic payments, like, oh, we're raising prices.
Whether it's storage or equipment or supplies, I just see it all the time.
People caught on and they're starting to take notice.
And this is why my Costco is selling $200 million a month.
I want some of that Costco business.
That would help me expand. If you don't go to Costco, come see me.
I probably got some other deals that they don't have.
You can't buy toilet paper here, but...
That's the thing. You know, we've got a local co-op that we deal with and everything, and I don't, you know, they've got good prices.
I'm not going to buy anything that I can buy from the co-op since it's one of the few local businesses that are left.
I'm not going to get it from Amazon.
And that's the thing with you.
You know, we need to support each other.
And your price is better on this stuff than Costco's.
Your availability is better.
And so, you know, why not help even if the price is higher?
Still go with somebody that I know, somebody that is not going to be like Amazon, working to subvert our society and take away our freedom.
It's just amazing.
You know, they have this big footprint, but we've got to support each other or we're not going to have anything left.
Well, everybody knows that Costco makes it way into the future, because we saw that on Idiocracy, where Costco is actually...
Welcome to Costco.
I love you. I don't know if you've ever watched that movie.
It's a documentary, David.
Yeah, I know. Idiocracy.
I'm loving it, yeah.
They definitely make it into the future.
But no, I would love some of that.
I think we do have to support each other, especially in these times.
Again, there's dark clouds on the horizon.
There's also opportunities.
I think in this is a learning opportunity as well to understand what's really going on.
Oh, absolutely. Well, you know, I began the program by talking about what's happening in Israel and the escalation that's going there.
There was an interview with Charles Nenner.
He's Dutch.
An economist, and his advice is to get out of stocks, buy gold, he said.
He's warning of the imminent end of the American empire.
He said this Iranian missile attack we're seeing is just beginning.
He says, I don't know how big this war is going to be because everybody, he said, is going to be involved.
Well, that's kind of interesting.
And he says the end of the American empire is just around the corner.
And he says...
He says, I don't know how these people are going to be able to bring it back.
Absolutely. I mean, what do you think about what's going on with all this stuff?
Well, I think, unfortunately, he's most likely right.
I think the American empire is coming to an end.
We're overextended.
We've got treaties that were written by men no longer alive, committing Americans yet unborn to fight on wars, and most people can't find it on the map in places around the world.
I think that's what we have a bankrupt foreign policy, and we have for years.
You know, the Cold War lapsed.
And instead of rebuilding the Republic and, you know, reshoring everything and, you know, having a rebirth of freedom and liberty here in the United States, we just went on the Crusades and we went into the Balkans.
We went into the Middle East. It was seven countries in five years, you know, what they told Wesley Clark.
And I was a part of a few of those wars.
And I would say that You know, you go back to my story going into Iraq and the run on the bank when the people were trying to trade the Iraqi dinar with Saddam Hussein's face on it.
Nobody wanted the currency, and I went out to buy some things from the market.
I bought a Pepsi from a Kurdish kid with a couple of bucks, and I had a couple of U.S. dollars.
He took those. He wouldn't take the Iraqi dinar, and now it's illegal.
Yeah. To use American dollars in Iraq.
So just fast forward, you know, 20 little 20 plus years, and now you can't even use the currency that was the world's reserve.
I mean, that's where it was accepted around the world.
I think that, you know, the moves that we've made, weaponizing the dollar, the arrogance, and I think a lot of this, I mean, you and I would attribute it to being on purpose, you know, that's kind of a controlled demolition in a lot of ways, like just setting us up for failure, whether it's You know, trying to redline this thing with Russia and Ukraine, just creating tension for the sake of tension or whatever NATO operation that is.
And then, you know, with everything with Israel, you and I have both talked about this since October 7th.
This has nothing to do with Hamas.
This has nothing to do with terrorism.
This has everything to do with nation states.
This is Iran. And Iran is tied to Russia.
These are linkages in the geopolitical chain.
You go back to 1948 when Harry Truman was being counseled on whether or not to recognize the state of Israel.
You had Dean Acheson, his Secretary of State, was saying, well, if we recognize that, it may drive a wedge between Iran and the West.
Well, follow that with Operation Ajax and Mosaddegh, you know, what we overthrew.
And you were talking about the Shah of Iran and the interventions that we've had.
This is all blowback.
We made our decisions back in the late 40s, what we were going to do, the setting up of the Cold War.
So all this, when you're talking about what's happening, it's what most people don't understand.
They see the surface level news, but this is grand chessboard.
This is resources.
This is travel routes.
This is trade.
This is, again, this is projections of power.
And so you've got Iran is linked with Russia.
That's where we are.
And, of course, that with BRICS nations and China and all of that and the sanctions.
These countries want to move away from the hegemonic dominance of the American empire.
They will overthrow. They will throw off the yoke.
And I think that they're succeeding because we're making all of the wrong moves.
If we wanted to continue to project power and hold the world's reserve currency, David, in my opinion, we would have brokered deals.
There'd be summits. There'd be trade.
We've done none of that.
We just ramp up sanctions.
We dig in and...
What did Lord Acton say?
Something about the failure of most politicians is clinging to the carcasses of dead policies.
We cling to those dead carcasses.
Well, it certainly don't cling to the dead carcasses of the soldiers who fight their wars, do they?
You know, they just pay no attention to that.
It is, you know, we look at this, again, going back to George Ninner.
He said he'd been something of a Trump supporter, even though he's Dutch.
He's not an American citizen, doesn't vote.
I guess if he came in through Mexico, then let him.
But he said, if winter's coming, he said, you go out and you buy a winter coat.
And he said at the time that he thought that Trump was the winter coat.
But now he's saying, I think even if Trump were to win, I don't think even he can fix what needs to be fixed.
He said, it's ridiculous. I don't even know how to fix the U.S. anymore.
According to cycles, the U.S. is finished, he says.
This war now will probably turn into a world war.
And the problem is that the U.S. will have to fight Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran.
They have no chance to win.
Nobody will have to invade the United States.
They'll just finish them off with rockets from the air.
Or, you know, the other part of it that I look at, I think the U.S. will just kind of collapse from within.
I think that is just as likely as a nuclear strike, perhaps even more likely, that it'll just kind of collapse like the Soviet Empire did.
I think that's really where we are, and I think there's a large design to that.
You know, Tony, I don't know what you think, but I look at it, and what's the big obstacle in the way of global governance?
Well, the United States is.
And then after that, the European countries are.
So they have to eviscerate them.
But it's primarily they've got to get the United States down first.
And then after they've leveled everything, then they can come in after there's nobody to oppose them.
They can bring in the poverty, the austerity, and then they can establish themselves as being in control.
I mean, that's the game that I see happening.
Yeah, it's build back better.
Yeah. That's what that is.
In order to build something back better, you have to destroy it first.
And the way that they want to build something back, right, they want to build up this new world order.
They want to build up a one-world government.
They've got to get rid of this. The United States is pesky with its tradition of the rule of law and the Bill of Rights, you know, the freedom of speech and assembly and, you know, the right of the individual's private property, David.
We've got to get rid of that. Now, the Second Amendment, for sure, we can't have these...
These human beings being able to defend themselves against tyrannical government.
I don't think it's that difficult to really drill down to understand what they're doing here.
The border is a great example.
You make everybody feel psychologically where they're just helpless.
We can't even secure our border like we're a pitiful giant.
We have tens of thousands of nuclear weapons.
We've got submarines.
We've got the ability to launch satellites and all this other stuff and just massive technology.
And we can do anything, supposedly, but we can't stop people from coming over our border illegally.
We're just helpless. They just walk over Sherpas.
I think that's on purpose to make you feel helpless, where you can't fix it.
And of course, the voting cycle is over and over again.
If we just get enough Republicans, if we just vote for them, they've been running on the same thing since I was a little boy.
They never fix the problems.
It's their favorite thing.
It's like telling the The pharmaceutical companies, you know, they're like, we just got to find a cure for cancer.
Like, just keep giving us money, we'll find a cure for cancer.
Or major diseases.
Just make new diseases.
So I think that's what's happening with our politics.
And they're just running out the clock, in my opinion.
They've built, they've got their golden parachutes.
A lot of the, you know, the high-ups and the people in the...
The ruling elite, the ruling class, they've got their golden pin.
They're leaving at rest, though. It's like a Viking funeral ship.
It's on fire. They're just going to abandon us.
And I think it's really just setting the charges, too, because you look at all of the The kinetic wars that they want to get us into.
And I've been watching it.
And it's amazing because if you...
Unless you've studied geopolitical history and foreign policy, and I guess I'm kind of nerdish like that.
It's kind of one of the things that I've done.
I was fascinated by that.
There is no more diplomacy.
I don't even know why there's a State Department anymore.
I don't even know why there's...
I don't even know why... Yeah, they're not interested in talking to anybody.
They're not interested in trying to pull anything back for peace.
It's full-on war.
They want war. Anything they can do to escalate war, nothing will they do to provide peace or security.
They want chaos inside our country.
You know, when you look at the Soros district attorneys or you look at the border policies, they want utter chaos.
They want to take everything down, financially and every other aspect.
Again, this guy is saying, you know, he says, look, we're telling all of our clients to
get out of the stock market.
He said, we think that gold is a place to be for the next three years.
He said the dollar is not going to be a major currency.
He said Saudi Arabia has entered the petrodollar.
And so he said it doesn't have anything backing it anymore.
It's just, you know, a fiat currency.
And so we're kind of at this moment, I think, you know, that you would always see in the Roadrunner Coyote films, you know, where the Coyotes run off the edge of the cliff.
And he can keep going for a little while, and then eventually he looks down and there's nothing below him, and then he just drops like a rock.
And that's really, I think, the best analogy for that is the economy and the way the markets and the public react to things like that.
You can get these people running on thin air and hopium, but at some point, before they go too far, they look down and they see there's absolutely nothing there, and then the economy just tanks.
He says he thinks it's going to be worse than the 1929 stock market crash.
I agree. Who knows?
And I don't want to.
I don't want to agree.
Just based off of my reading of history and how over leveraged we are.
And this just goes back to being over leveraged.
Not enough equity.
I mean, it gets technical.
You talk about how much debt we have worldwide, how much GDP. You can kind of forget about that in a way.
What value do these stocks bring?
What value? What true equity do these companies have?
What true earnings do they have?
So if you're in the traditional stock markets, which is hundreds of trillions around the world,
just really focus on those companies.
And do they make money?
Do they provide services to their customers?
But take out their central bank.
If you're not dealing, if they're not dealing directly with the central bank,
those companies typically on Wall Street aren't profitable.
It's how, it's the relationship they have with the banking system.
And the banking system is all about leveraging new currency and debt.
So this isn't going to turn out well.
If I'm going to be investing in something right now, I'm going to look at hard assets, I'm going to look at things like land, and I'm going to look at things like your own business.
Because it's something you can control, whatever value you can control.
So the closer that you can get away from counterparty risk, The better.
Because all of these systems and these companies are built on cheap fiat currency, which is fake, and debt.
And that's why a true analysis on this is pretty bleak.
And it has nothing to do with being...
Me favoring precious metals.
It's just looking at the reality of these companies truly aren't profitable.
And even back in the 90s, I remember my dad telling me, he's like, you know, look at these companies.
They're 100 times earnings.
This is insane, son. He's telling me about how, like, this is not how you would value a company because I don't have, you know, my dad had, you know, Convenience stores and real estate, and he was an entrepreneur and still is.
And he would just tell me, like, that's not how you truly value a company.
He said, I don't have money in this, because I always ask him, what kind of stocks do you buy?
He said, I don't have any. Like, I invest in my own companies, and the reason is because of these projections.
Yeah, and when you look at the stock market, I mean, so much of it is just based on AI. And it's an AI bubble, like the dot-com bubble.
And they got ahead of expectations.
I haven't talked about it yet, but there's an article by a guy from MIT, and he's had a lot of success as an analyst.
But what he was saying was, he said, look, I only think that there's only going to be about 5% of the jobs that are going to be replaced or distributed.
Seriously augmented by artificial intelligence.
He said it's been oversold.
And you're not going to see the kind of things that they're expecting that's going to support these price-to-earning ratios like you're talking about.
That's not going to happen for a very long time.
At some point, people are going to figure this out.
And that's a big part of this inflated stock market right now.
But, you know, on the other side, I want to get your take on this because I know that, you know, you're friendly with Bitcoin and open to Bitcoin.
Aaron Day is as well.
You know, he's trying to get out of the system and he's looking at everything that he can to get out of the system, whether it's Bitcoin or some other cryptocurrency and how can he keep that private?
He's looking at gold and silver, all of the above he's working on all the time.
But I've seen a couple of articles.
Now, they're coming from gold bugs like Peter Schiff and Jesse Colombo.
But both of them are talking about how when what we've seen this last week or so, this decoupling of Bitcoin from reaction to geopolitical crisis.
As this is ramping up, we're seeing gold go way up.
But Bitcoin is not.
As a matter of fact, it goes down. So it's always been sold as a digital gold, but that's not what is happening now.
Is this kind of a moment like we saw at one point in time with the paper gold and paper silver, where it stopped tracking with gold?
And we said, wait a minute, what's up with this?
You look closer and you find out there's something out there.
What do you think about this idea that Bitcoin seems to be decoupled from gold and decoupled from the, or inversely affected by these geopolitical crises?
At least right now. I've noticed that and read into those same points.
And I would say that, again, gold and silver have such a...
They're so rooted in our consciousness and in our history as people.
You just go back and it's just familiar.
It's just with us. I mean, we've...
In the modern era, we've, you know, somewhat walked away from them because we don't see them as money in the popular consciousness every single day.
But it does, it's still a remnant, it's still there.
I think what you're looking at when you see Bitcoin fall a little bit, when these geopolitical tensions ramp up, and I think because Bitcoin really...
It's not so much, it's not digital gold.
It's not like a safe haven for, you know, geopolitical turnout or any kind of turmoil or anything like that or economic downturns.
In my opinion, Bitcoin is a long-term bet on integrations for the system itself.
It's not exactly like digital gold.
It's not exactly a safe haven in that way.
But I think long-term, it's a bet.
It's a bet that... There will not be Armageddon.
Because if there is a massive war and upheaval and tension, I don't think that's good for Bitcoin.
I think Bitcoin's about markets and emerging technologies and payment systems and things like that.
If we're talking about kinetic warfare, Sabotage, that kind of thing is going on around the world.
I don't think Bitcoin fares well in that condition.
Yeah, that condition kind of dropped back to the basics.
You do. And maybe it stunts the timeline a bit.
I'll still be in Bitcoin regardless, I think, because it's a bet that there will be markets and there will be innovations and there will be, again...
I think there is a need for Bitcoin, by the way, if you look at, like we just talked about.
Digitally, I can't take my gold and send it to you right now, David.
If I want to pay David Knight, I want to give him a gold coin, I'm going to have to mail it to you for you to hold that physical coin.
So that's a drawback to that.
And there are some other cryptos that can do that.
But Bitcoin takes care of that problem right now.
And so I think that's something that Bitcoin can do, but it hasn't quite gained the status of And I don't think that it's going to for a while.
I think gold is still going to be that.
We've got years and years left where gold, and a lot of the Bitcoin people, especially the Bitcoin maximalists, will say that Bitcoin is going to demonetize gold and silver.
It's not, guys. It's not.
It's not going to demonetize gold.
I'm sorry. It's not. But gold and silver will always be some kind of money.
And I think they all serve a purpose.
But I think this was an interesting, you know, to watch the chart.
Bitcoin's been stuck in this like $60,000 range for since March.
It's just kind of holding there.
And I think it's because there's still, you know, a lot, it's still volatile.
A lot of adoptions happening, but it's not quite the safe haven yet.
But long term, I think it looks really good.
So long as there's civilization.
And it is pretty amazing.
I think it was just a few years ago that, you know, it was under $20,000.
Now we're saying, well, it seems to be stuck around the $60,000.
We'll be excited about that.
I got a couple of comments and questions for you.
Junk Silver says, Wolfpack is awesome.
Highly recommended. Yes, absolutely is.
I would recommend it as well.
And I do. And I recommend doing business with Tony.
It's great to have people who are going to support us and somebody who is on our side and somebody who is helping to give people real information.
Tony follows this show coming up today on Thursday.
You've got a show today, right? Yes, sir.
Right here on Rockfin.
I'll be on the America Unplugged channel.
And my ex, at Tony Arterburn, I'll be live there.
So come join us. That's great.
Before you go, though, I've got a question for you.
This is from Brian and Deb McCartney.
David, had Tony heard that the U.S. does belong to BRICS? I've not heard that.
Have you heard that? No, I kind of joked that we should apply.
See what all the fuss is about.
Yeah. Yeah, do it as a hedge, right?
Yeah, we'll join BRICS too.
I think I'll join BRICS. I get South African Krugerrands already, so I think I should be an honorary member.
Just to hedge a little bit.
That's right. Yeah, it was Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.
That was the S there. So we've got a Krugerrand, I guess, or maybe got a toe in it.
I don't know. But that's really based on the value of the gold.
Yeah, when you look at what they're trying to do, I mean, they will say, well, it's about this or that.
We don't like Russia's aggression, all the rest of the stuff.
But when they're blowing up these gas pipelines going into Germany, everybody eventually
figured out that what this is really about is trying to create a hegemony of gas and energy
supply into Germany.
They've got a whole different agenda that nobody talks about in public, really.
It eventually comes out, and everything they tell us is a lie, and everything that they do is for this massive...
You know their their desire to to rule the earth, you know, it's just like pinky in the brain every day
Another plot to take over the world and everything they do is like that. They're not for peace
They're not for helping us as we can see now the aftermath of this hurricane
But we certainly do appreciate what you do to help us Tony and again
If you want to have some wealth protection, you want to have wealth insurance if you want to have something to fall
back on when it really does hit the fan.
If you want to be outside of this digital trap that they're making for everybody.
You know, you talk about it being a web.
You talk about it being a net. Boy, I tell you, this digital ID stuff is looking more and more like a web and a net all the time, doesn't it?
But if you want to get outside of that stuff, think about getting gold and silver.
And Tony is your guy. He can help you with small or large transactions.
And Wolfpack is great.
Anything you want to tell us about what's going on at Wolfpack?
Anything new other than scrambling around as much as you can for supply as everybody is starting to turn this direction, right?
It is getting crazier.
We get more and more people join Wolfpack, which I appreciate, and that helps the buying pool.
Everybody gets a better deal.
I just bought, I think yesterday we bought like 600 ounces of silver rounds that kind of varied between mints, and those are all going to go into Wolfpack.
Lots of fractional good stuff.
If you do promo code, if you go to davidknight.gold and you hit the tab that says join Wolfpack, if you do the promo code 1776, free silver.
My ladies here, the pack every day here from Branson.
And by the way, if you join Wolfpack...
One of the things that people like about us, I don't keep your money almost like a day or two.
If you pay us on automatic, we get your package out and we get a tracking number.
I don't want to keep your medals.
I want it out of the door. That's a lot of people have asked me, how long does it take to get it?
I'm like, well, I've made the system.
We've got a great crew, by the way.
My folks that I hired, it's a mother and daughter, and they used to work and run a UPS store.
Oh, wow. Any kind of package issue, any kind of tracking issue, they all know all the ups and downs of that.
I've got a speedy system that we've built.
We're a long way from when I started, I can tell you that.
I used to just be me and my dog and my notepad, and I'd take deals, and whenever I would...
You know, want to go like a host for you down in Austin when you were down there, I would just close the shop.
And now I've got two shops and we buy all the time.
I can't keep up with it.
So I'm pretty thankful that we've got so much business.
It's because of the times that we're in.
Yeah. And you're going to have a lot more.
And you're going to be getting a lot more real soon.
We're living in interesting times.
And I think it's going to be like trying to drink out of a fire hose, I think, before too long.
I think it's really going to take off.
Well, it's always great talking to you, Tony.
Thank you so much, Tony Ardaman, Wise Wolf Gold, and you can find him at davidknight.gold.
We're going to take a quick break, and we'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
We're going to take a quick break, and we'll be right back.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
you you
This was talking about the longshoremen strike.
this article Not not pro-union and as I said, I talked about my
experiences with unions as I see it, you know just another organization that is going to as Eric Peter said, you know
you don't really have much of a vote in terms of what they're going to do with you and
It's just another predatory Organization
Pretending that you've got some say in it and telling you what you're going to do or not do
Unionists and collectivists claim to be for the little man for the working man, but in reality, they're only for
themselves And many people have talked about how wealthy this union
boss is Elon Musk joked, he's got more yachts than I do.
Special interest groups, primarily seeking to make gains for only those who are associated with them, and to hell with all others.
And sometimes they're not even worried about those who are associated with them.
Harold Daggett says, I will cripple you, and you have no idea what that means.
Nobody does. It kind of sounds like a mob boss running a protection racket, doesn't it?
Yeah. Are you worried that this strike is going to hurt the everyday American, the farmers that need to reach the export market?
They're telling me that they're going to hurt all of this.
Now you start to realize who the longshoremen are, right?
You talking to me? They never gave a s*** about us until now, when they finally realized that the chain is being broke now.
Cars won't come in.
Food won't come in.
Clothing won't come in.
You know how many people depend on our jobs?
Half the world.
And it's time for them and time for Washington to put so much pressure on them to take care of us because we took care of them and we're here 135 years and brought them where they are today and they don't want to share.
Yeah, yeah. They don't know what a strike is.
When my men hit the streets from Maine to Texas, every single port will lock down.
You know what's going to happen?
I'll tell you. First week, be all over the news every night, boom, boom.
Second week, guys who sell cars can't sell cars because the cars ain't coming in off the ships.
They get laid off.
Third week, Malls start closing down.
They can't get the goods from China.
They can't sell clothes.
They can't do this. Everything in the United States comes on a ship.
They go out of business.
Construction workers get laid off because the materials aren't coming in.
The steel's not coming in.
The lumber's not coming in.
They lose their job.
Everybody's hating the longshoremen now because now they realize how important our jobs are.
Now I have the president screaming at me, I'm putting a Taff Hartley on you.
Go ahead. Taff Hartley means I have to go back to work for 90 days.
That's a cooling off period.
Do you think when I go back to 90 days, those men are gonna go to work on that pier?
It's gonna cost the company's money to pay their salaries.
Well, they went from 30 moves an hour maybe to eight.
They're gonna be like this.
Who's gonna win here in the long run?
You're better off sitting down, and let's get a contract, and let's move on with this world.
In today's world, I'll cripple you.
I will cripple you, and you have no idea what that means.
Nobody does. Well, I guess Biden understands that.
I mean, Biden seems to be very afraid of him.
Taft, Hartley, he's not going to do any of that stuff.
It's been invoked in the past.
We've had, you know, it was put in in 1947.
Most recently, it was done by George W. Bush.
Prior to that, I think that was 2002.
Prior to that, Nixon in 71.
Because if you've got somebody that's...
He just laid out the case for Taft-Hartley.
If you've got some union that's going to deliberately shut down the country and damage the country...
Somebody that was paying attention.
Somebody that cared about the country.
Somebody other than Biden, for example.
They'd do something about it, but he's not going to do anything about it.
And of course, these longshoremen are really hurting.
They make anywhere between $85,000- $200,000 a year, depending on how much overtime they work.
Whereas the average salary in America is about $56,000.
And their demands are not reasonable either.
They want a 77% pay raise over six years.
They were offered a 50% pay raise over what they're making now between 85 and 200,000 a year.
They want that to go up by 77%.
50% is not enough.
Cost of the strike?
We'll be approximately $4.5 billion per day, according to J.P. Morgan.
So different people are coming up, but this is a higher figure than we saw before.
J.P. Morgan says $4.5 billion a day.
It'll cost workers and businesses, all the other people.
The nation is currently suffering from some of the highest cumulative inflation we've seen since the 1970s.
The supply chain never fully repaired itself after what Trump did in 2020.
Illegal aliens are taking jobs and housing from regular U.S. citizens.
These guys, they need to be able to wet their beak.
On Sunday, Biden told reporters that he would not intervene in the strike if it did occur.
He says, it's collective bargaining, and I don't believe in Taft-Hartley.
Well, quite frankly, I was surprised that he didn't do something to stop it.
Because even though he says he doesn't believe in Taft-Hartley, if you recall, it was July of 2022, and this is why I said I didn't think it was going to happen and why I was wrong.
In July of 2022, with the midterm elections coming up and he wants the economy to look good, when the railroad workers are going to go on strike, What he did was he invoked and had them do a cooling-off period, and then he pressured them in negotiations to accept an arbitrated settlement.
But he's not going to do that here.
So it's not that he is opposed to somebody shutting things down for a strike.
No, what he is afraid of is that thug right there.
So, again, you know, we have seen this done over and over again.
2002, George W. Bush did the Taft-Hartley Act against the Longshoremen.
And in 71, it was Nixon who did it against the Longshoremen.
They have a long record of this, as I pointed out yesterday, going back to, what was it, somewhere in the 1950s when they did On the Waterfront with Marlon Brando.
That was about that particular union, the Longshoremen Union.
It's got a long history of corruption and strong-arm tactics and allegations of organized crime.
And the only organized crime that's bigger than that is the Biden White House.
We're going to take a quick break.
We'll be right back.

...events that Tim Walsh has claimed to be at, besides Tiananmen Square.
That's from Babylon Bee.
He claims that he landed on the moon with a crew of Apollo 11.
Well, it's as credible as their claim, actually, I guess.
One small step for Tim.
One giant leap for Tim kind.
He said he was marching in Selma with Joe Biden, says Babylon Bee.
It was there that he first met Lala, still in her stroller, shouting freedom.
But, you know, Joe Biden himself, Joe Biden, as they had the character saying on her, the Lala character saying on Saturday Night Live, Joe Biden has lied at least 20 times, at least 20 times, about his involvement with civil rights movement.
So, yeah, why not have Tim Walz say that as well?
See, the interesting thing is that Babylon Bee always roots their satire in the truth.
There's one video where they counted at least 20 times that he did this.
Aboard United Flight 93.
Yeah, he was there on September 11th.
Walz bravely stormed the cockpit, sacrificed his life for other people, a hero.
He was at the Last Supper, too.
Did you know that? Yeah, that's the ticket.
According to Walz, he suspected Judas the whole time.
Here's another one. He was there at the burning of Minneapolis in 2020.
Oh, okay. Well, this one actually is true.
When it burned down, he didn't do anything at all about it.
And, you know, as I pointed out yesterday, that short clip where he said, yeah, school shooters.
I have many school shooters that are friends of mine, right?
And everybody's like, what in the world is he talking about?
Was he at Columbine? Was he at Sandy Hook, right?
I've become friends with school shooters, he said.
Trump put out on social media when he said, is he insane?
Well, yeah, it's, as he said, I think most appropriately, he said, well, I'm just a knucklehead besides lying.
These folks know me, he said.
He clears up the friends with school shooters issue.
This is Raw Story covering for him.
Like I said, this is a radical pro-Democrat media outlet.
They will spin everything. I was talking about meeting with people where there are school shooters.
I need to be more specific on that, he said.
He said, I've become good friends with these Parkland students and, of course, the Sandy Hook parents.
Really good friends with them.
Yeah, so the Knuckle had just straight-up lied about his rank.
He straight-up lied about being in Hong Kong during Tiananmen Square.
And, of course, the thing that is really most important is that he is straight-up lying about his undying love for communism.
Oh, he really loves it. And I talked about that from the very beginning.
You look at how he admires Communist China.
In the same way they had people like de Blasio, you know, he wants to go to Cuba for his honeymoon.
Same with Waltz. Or Bernie Sanders wants to go to the Soviet Union before it fell for his honeymoon as well.
Yeah, these guys literally have a love affair, a honeymoon with these communist states.
Well, one person who may have the honeymoon with the media has now ended is Doug Inhofe.
This broke yesterday.
It was an expose from the Daily Mail.
Who talked to a woman that Doug Emhoff, who is, as they call him, the second gentleman married to Lala Harris.
I think he's not the second gentleman.
I think he's like a fifth-rate wife-beater thug.
That's really what he is.
His first marriage ended in divorce after he had an adulterous relationship with the nanny.
Apparently, she got pregnant, and it's not clear exactly how she had the miscarriage.
But the person who claims that she was struck by Doug Inhofe, and of course, she's not talking, but she's got several friends who talk to the Daily Mail.
She's got a nondisclosure agreement because she was paid off $80,000 in hush money.
And this is all happening in New York.
Everybody freaked out about Donald Trump doing this.
And people should freak out about Donald Trump.
I'm not saying that either one of them should have a pass.
But he was not prosecuted in New York because the prosecutions are political.
And I'll just say, even as you see all this stuff ramping up again with Jack Smith, all that's going to do is help Trump.
This is their October surprise.
And I just... It's hard for me to believe that they're that stupid.
I really do believe at this point they're trying to set up Trump so that they can hand off everything to him as it blows up, you know?
Like, give him this ticking time bomb of an economy and geopolitics and all the rest of this stuff and let it be in his lap.
Here you go! You can keep it.
We'll be back later to collect the pieces here.
Well, anyway, he was...
He paid...
A non-disclosure agreement.
And he was not...
Actually, the $80,000 was paid to the former nanny.
But this woman that he was dating, subsequent to that, that these people contacted the Daily Mail about, said that she took him with her to the Cannes Film Festival.
That disgusting display of debauchery.
that they have every year and she said that he was jealous and he struck her so hard that she spun around.
And she made some tearful calls to some of her friends in New York who were the ones who contacted Daily Mail.
She would not talk about it, and neither would Doug Inhofe.
So the initial adulterous relationship was hidden during Harris' Senate and presidential campaigns.
And you know while she was hiding that stuff, she was coming after Brett Kavanaugh
for doing things that were far less
threatening than what her husband had done.
Inhofe acknowledged the so-called affair to CNN once the story broke, but he didn't
mention getting the nanny pregnant.
He didn't mention how she had a miscarriage.
And since there's violence with this woman, you have to wonder, is this something that is new for Doug Ganhoff?
Maybe, you know, they talk about doing abortions at home, and we have the over-the-counter pill by mail order and everything.
Maybe he's just working on an abortion at home by beating.
Maybe that's it. No.
Somebody that the Democrats should all pile in behind.
They would just love to see him as first gentleman.
Well, he's not a gentleman at all.
He's not gentle. Wednesday, the Daily Mail reported that he had forcefully slapped a girl in 2012 and that he had allegedly paid the nanny a settlement of about $80,000.
She signed an NDA. And so, again, there's other people who are talking about it.
And... He allegedly struck the woman in the face so hard she spun around while waiting in a valet line late at night, May of 2012 at the Cannes Film Festival.
A third friend told, they had three people telling this to the Daily Mail, confirming the details of the story.
They said the woman, whose name is Jane, first told her in 2014 she had dated Emhoff and recounted the full story of his abuse in 2018 when Harris...
Was grilling Brett Kavanaugh over sexual assault allegations and virtue signaling about all of that.
Yeah, this is the way these people operate.
Imhoff told Jane that the nanny had accused him of causing her to have a miscarriage.
Again, how did that happen? Was it physical abuse?
According to the friends, Imhoff didn't say how he was allegedly responsible for the miscarriage.
And he told Jane that the nanny's claims were false.
So he was dubbed by Democrats as a wife guy.
They called him a Minch, Yiddish term for an honorable, kind man.
He was also spoken out in media interviews about being an ally to women and against toxic masculinity.
We just had Jen Psaki, who has now been given an MSNBC program after being the press secretary for Biden.
And she had Emhoff on.
And she told Emhoff that he had reshaped the perception of masculinity.
Despite the fact that at that point in time, he had admitted that he had an adulterous relationship with his daughter's nanny that had resulted in divorce.
But yeah, he has reshaped all this.
That's not toxic masculinity at all.
It's really just about politics and power.
At the Cannes Film Festival, of course, Harvey Weinstein was there at that time.
Wouldn't you love to just hang out with these people?
I would never. Attendees that were there, Alec Baldwin, Harvey Weinstein, Paris Hilton, the Kardashians.
Who would have thought that you'd have somebody that would, I don't know, violently rape and assault women, beat them, and that kind of a crowd.
So, Jane brought her then-boyfriend, Emhoff, as a plus one.
One of her friends, a top New York businessman, says Daily Mail, said he was home getting ready for bed that night when he got an unexpected call from her.
It was hard to hear because she was sobbing.
She told me that she was with a guy and he hit her.
I didn't know what to do. I didn't know whether to call the French police.
I couldn't get a hold of her after calling back.
He said he still had a vivid memory of the troubling conversation 12 years ago.
In later conversations, but pretty contemporaneous with that, she told me about the guy.
She said it was something like 3 a.m.
in the morning, and they were trying to get out of there.
And they'd both been drinking, and there was a gigantic line for the taxis.
Jane went up to one of the valet guys, offered him 100 euros or whatever to get to the head of the line.
She told me that she put her hand on his shoulder.
Apparently, Doug thought that she was flirting, came over and slapped her in the face, did it hard enough that spun her head around, according to her.
So, yeah, that's the character of the people that we're looking at.
Lala endorses, by the way, the dock worker strike.
The guy that I was just showing you said he's going to cripple the economy.
They donated $1.6 million to the Democrats, so that entitles them to be able to do billions of dollars worth of damage to the economy per day, and nothing that's going to stop any of that.
The question is, and this is the other part of it, I had seen Biden shut this whole thing down with the railroad workers, which...
Probably would not have damaged the economy as much as the longshoremen.
And so I thought the political calculus would be that he'd be concerned just about a month before the election and not allow that to happen.
But as this article points out, they had the choice of choosing between the union and the rest of the entire country.
So, I guess the choice is pretty clear.
Hundreds of industry associates called on Biden to take the Taft-Hartley Act, but he's not going to do it.
Of course, he may also have a personal beef with Lala and would be more than happy to see her go down.
Mr. President, will you intervene in the dock worker strike?
No, I don't believe in Taft-Hartley.
He believes in unions, especially the ones that give him so much money.
So, We're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back.
Stay with us.
And you can walk 500 steps, but not a single step more, until the curfew activates and robot cops vent at your door.
The End.
you you
You're listening to the David Knight Show.
Well, when the economy gets tough, what do you do?
You go shopping, right?
Or you declare Christmas.
I should have put in the clip from Maine.
We need a little Christmas right this very minute.
That's what's happening in Venezuela.
Times are tough in Venezuela.
So the socialist Marxist leader there in Venezuela has decided to start Christmas early.
And so he declared it to begin in October.
That should cheer everybody up.
I don't know if they got the money to buy anything, but, you know, all the pretty twinkling lights and everything everywhere.
Because it's not going to be about anything that's religious-based, of course.
I've got a long track record of misinterpreting Christian faith and co-opting the religion to suit their ideological pursuits, says Breitbart.
But, of course, in that regard, they're very much like the USA, aren't they?
We do the same thing.
Doesn't he know that the Christmas season doesn't start until Black Friday?
Are you talking about retail or you're talking about socialists?
The same type of thing. The 2024 Venezuelan Christmas began on October the 1st and will run through January the 15th by decree.
By decree of this little dictator here.
The Episcopal Conference of Venezuela took exception to this.
They condemned the move.
They said Advent begins on December the 8th.
Well, yeah.
I don't know. Like I said, I think it begins on Black Friday, but it's been co-opted by the retail here.
And as I was saying earlier, when we look at what's going to happen to our economy, maybe we ought to start putting up those Christmas lights right now because things could get kind of dark and grim.
The stock market has been focused on the AI bubble.
And this is what I was talking about earlier.
A professor at MIT. I think his name is Asimoglu.
Asimoglu? Asimoglu?
I don't know. It's a very unusual name.
But he is a professor at MIT. He says, well, I'm not an AI pessimist.
But he says, there is mounting economic and financial peril ahead.
The unrelenting hype around the technology and the way that it is fueling an investment boom and a furious tech stock rally.
They have gotten way ahead of the multiples, as Tony was saying.
We've seen this all before.
We saw it with the dot-com bust.
And of course, the dot-com bust was based on the idea that the internet was going to become this very big thing.
Everybody's going to be using it for everything.
That's where we are today. And that it was going to be a big part of commerce.
Yeah, pretty much replaced bricks and mortars.
All that stuff came true, but they got way ahead of it.
And the stocks started selling at absurd multiples, and that's what we're looking at here with the AI stuff.
There's a little chance, he said, that it'll live up to that hype.
Only a small percentage of jobs, he thinks, only a mere 5% are ripe to be taken over or at least heavily aided by AI over the next decade.
He says that's very bad for the companies that are sinking billions of dollars into this technology.
They're not going to get that money back.
He also said, well, he's also become one of the louder, more high-profile voices, warning that the AI frenzy on Wall Street and the corporate suites across America has gone too far.
He first made a name for himself beyond academic circles a decade ago when he co-authored a book, Why Nations Fail, a New York Times bestselling book.
AI was figured prominently in that.
And then when you look at the CEO of NVIDIA, Who is just raking in the cash.
I mean, most of the Wall Street money has been focused to NVIDIA and just a couple of other films, but especially to NVIDIA. He has projected that rising demand for the technology services from a broader range of companies and governments will require as much as a trillion dollars in spending in order to upgrade data center equipment in coming years.
As Zero Hedge is looking at this, they're saying, well, I don't know how much more hopium we can sell people about AI itself or about NVIDIA. Maybe the play is on these small nuclear power centers.
And that's really what they're telling people.
Skepticism about these sorts of claims has started to mount because investments in AI have driven up costs much faster than the revenue of companies like Microsoft and Amazon.
But investors remain willing to pay lofty premiums to get in on the AI wave.
Well, one of the worst examples of this profiteering, I think, is OpenAI.
Which began as it was going to be this open source thing, and it was going to make sure that AI was not used in a predatory way, that it didn't get out of control, all the rest of the stuff.
But now, as the technocracy news headline says, open AI as we knew it is dead.
And now it is a loose cannon in the hands of a megalomaniacal technocrat, Sam Altman.
Sam Altman's a good bit younger than me, but he's going to be like the Bill Gates of the next generation.
This guy is unbelievably connected, unbelievably rich, and unbelievably evil.
We've seen him numerous times going to Capitol Hill, talking about how only his company, and maybe one or two others, maybe the Microsoft-Google thing, but only just one or two companies should be able to do this because it's just too dangerous.
Senators, you need to give us a monopoly or a duopoly or something like that.
And now he's back with his hand out again.
He wants the federal government, because AI is so important to their agenda, to their political power, that he wants them to provide nuclear power for them so they can run the surveillance, the propaganda, and the censorship for them.
Sam Altman is a technocrat who plays a long game.
When he first got involved with OpenAI in 2015, he jockeyed to take the helm in 2019, but he was constrained by a board of directors.
So by 2023, the board saw through him and ousted him.
So he gets in 2015.
By 2019, he's trying to take over.
Four years later, they kick him out.
Then the real Sam Altman appears.
As he clawed his way back to power, kicked the directors off the board, and reconstituted another board that was subservient to him.
By 2024, top executives saw through his schemes, fled the company, and leaving the safety team there in shambles.
He has stripped the board of its control entirely and taken directorial control of OpenAI, they said.
And again, he wants to monopolize this.
He wants to be subsidized.
He's telling Congress it's too dangerous.
He's telling Biden, you need to provide power for me.
And you know how they're going to use this.
They are going to do everything they can to support him.
Because it is going to be key to their power of surveillance, propaganda, and censorship.
He says, we commit to use any influence we obtain over AGI, that's their special elevated artificial intelligence, over its deployment to ensure that it is used for the benefit of all and to avoid enabling the use of AI to harm humanity or to unduly concentrate power.
We've heard all this before, haven't we?
We come in peace. Our primary fiduciary duty is to humanity.
Such high ideals.
Can you believe this for a moment?
No. You know, fiduciary.
In other words, acting.
He's acting on the benefit of humanity.
Well, I think so many times you see the term fiduciary used.
It's talking about money, and I think that's the way he means it here.
This week, the news broke that OpenAI will no longer be controlled by the nonprofit board.
OpenAI is turning into a full-fledged for-profit organization.
A corporation with him as CEO. So first he comes in and he pushes out of the non-profit board the people that oppose him and puts in his puppets on the board.
Now he's just getting rid of the board and he's going to be the CEO. Altman, who had previously emphasized they didn't have any equity in the company, I got nothing to gain here.
I'm just here for the benefit of mankind.
We'll now get equity worth billions in addition to total control over OpenAI.
The whole point of OpenAI was to be nonprofit and safety first.
It began sliding away from that vision years ago.
In 2019, OpenAI created a for-profit arm so that it could rake in a huge amount of money from Microsoft.
As the cost of building advanced AI scaled up.
But some of the employees and outside admirers still held out hope that the company would stick to its principles, but now you can put all that to bed.
Said Jeffrey Wu, who joined the company in 2018.
He said, we can say goodbye to the original version of OpenAI that wanted to be unconstrained by financial obligations, he says.
No, it's all about money and it's all about the power of this guy.
Now, we were talking earlier about who's the bad guys and all this stuff, right?
We got to go after Iran.
They're the terrorists in this world.
They're the ones who are creating all the wars and everything.
They're the ones who are assassinating, terrorizing the world.
And I've said, no, I think it's the CIA. And you look at so many different aspects, whether it is coups, assassinations, assassination plots against people like Julian Assange, trying to get the DNA of his infant son out of the diapers and all the rest of the stuff.
I mean, these people are absolutely insane.
And we see a lot of people talking about P. Diddy and the pedophile and the blackmail rings of P. Diddy and of Jeffrey Epstein and all the rest of this stuff.
And especially, it's important for them in a society that is losing all sense of morality, it's especially important for them to get kids because that's one of the few if only things left.
So if you can show somebody with a child, well, now you've got something to blackmail them over with.
Our society is becoming unashamed of anything else, pretty much.
And of course, that's going to move pretty quickly away.
We see now shocking investigation that finds a CIA contractor moved migrant children across America.
Hundreds of thousands of them missing.
The disastrous border policies of the Biden-Harris administration.
Just one dimension of the U.S. federal government's complicity in the mass trafficking of children.
The entire migration pipeline from South America to the U.S. southern border is controlled by networks of human traffickers who funnel tens of thousands of alien children into the U.S. every year.
For many alien children, crossing the U.S. southern border is only the beginning of their problems.
This is coming from Anthony Rubin at Muckraker.
And, of course, we've seen this from a lot of different reports talking about what's going on, the Darien Gap, massive human trafficking, women, children, that type of thing.
Rubin, however, conducted a three-month investigation and got receipts for what's going on.
Exploding child trafficking industry in the United States, facilitated by people in the Biden-Harris administration.
320,000 illegal alien children lost by the Biden-Harris administration.
The federal government is sending children and two strangers.
A CIA contractor is moving children across America.
Children are being sent to live in labor trafficking rings.
Traffickers using deportation as a threat to extract debt payments from sponsored children.
Look, we've had multiple reports of this years ago.
People saying there's...
Unlisted plane flights coming in, and we're seeing this happening.
It was happening in Florida.
It was happening in, I think it was in New Jersey or something.
People investigated it. They said these are these suspicious flights that are coming in the wee hours of the morning, like 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning.
And we started, you know, got curious about this.
We followed this around. We see they're in like a white van.
They go to a rest stop on the interstate.
Another van pulls up.
They transfer people into that and they're gone, right?
Something's up with that. You know, they don't list it.
They do it in the middle of the night.
Well, child trafficking.
First-hand testimonies from children who were trafficked in America.
We track down some of the 320,000 illegal alien children lost by the Biden-Harris administration, says Muckraker.com.
This report reveals the cold, hard truth about the reality of the Biden-Harris administration's open border policies that have resulted in the trafficking of unknown numbers of children.
It truly is amazing how they always come for the children.
As a matter of fact, This was just recently surfaced.
This is a principal, I'm sorry, not a principal, a pastor at a school.
He shows up because there was a child that went to the church that was very disturbed about what she was exposed to, forced to participate in at school.
He shows up to protest, and this is what happened.
We have an officer.
Yes, sir. Put him in handcuffs.
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
That is true.
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
Yes, sir. And I told them why I'm protesting.
There was a 15-year-old girl who came to the school board meeting, a 15-year-old girl who came to the school board meeting in tears, read from a book, said she was traumatized, and they forced her to do it in school, and the board did nothing about it.
But instead, y'all put a preacher in handcuffs.
No, but you put the preacher in handcuffs, but no one's doing anything to those people and the boy
Yeah, yeah, I'll leave I'll go ahead. It's peacefully protesting.
We don't allow peaceful protests in this country anymore.
But you notice how everything is always focused toward the children.
They want to come after the children in every way.
And so we see, getting back to this, in August 19th, 2024, not too long ago, the Department of Homeland Security announced that they had lost track of over 300,000 children.
320 is more like it.
Since 2021, an average of 400 unaccompanied children have been smuggled in the United States every day.
In June of 2024, an insider from the Department of HHS Provided Muckraker with a list detailing the names of over 8,000 alien children and their last known addresses.
So we began an operation to try to find the missing children ourselves.
Over the course of our investigation, we discovered the dangerous places where children have been delivered.
We confronted a CIA contractor who moves these children.
We heard shocking stories from children who the federal government has lost track of and exposed a child trafficking network in Florida.
See, here's the reality.
These people, you think about it, they try to kill babies, rip them apart, they try to steal their organs, kill them
to take their organs so that they can create humanized mice and other monstrosities.
They go into the schools, they sexually groom kids, they try to get them to mutilate their bodies, to sterilize
themselves with drugs that we give to rapists.
This continues to happen all the time, that's just one example of what he was doing there, but this is the bigger
example of this.
They're always focused on children.
The Democrat Party, the CIA, these school boards, they're always focused on the children.
It truly is amazing to see how this just continues.
Same thing over and over again.
Meanwhile, we see that in terms of entertainment, we have Matt Walsh put together a comedy documentary, Am I Racist?
And it's kind of interesting, this article here at Zero Hedge compares the...
The cost and the money that was made by his film versus Francis Ford Coppola, the guy who did The Godfather.
He's got a fortune from that.
But he wanted to do his ultimate work of art, this vanity project that he put together.
And so it actually did about the same, a little bit better at the box office than Coppola's film did.
You know, all these Christian films, and this is not a Christian film, but, you know, Christian conservative films, they're not making a whole lot of money.
I mean, they're making millions, but for a film, that's not all that much.
But it is comparable to what the big budget films are making now in many cases.
Because Hollywood has just...
Just eviscerated itself.
The streaming has now become a trickle, if you will.
I mean, who cares about the fact, and this is the reason this was written up, they say, well, they want to taunt Coppola because his project had anti-Trump overtones to it.
I really don't care about Megalopolis's anti-Trump overtones.
I just don't want to go see this sexualized thing.
I especially don't want to see a sexualized John Voight in his 80s.
I mean, these people are just disgusting.
It's just like the Cannes Film Festival.
It's like the Sodom and Gomorrah.
And that's what these people can't, they don't even want to focus on a story.
They want to focus on special effects and sex.
Sci-fi political drama is Coppola's megalopolis, a sci-fi political drama with an anti-Trump political subtext.
Who cares? It's Coppola and copulation.
Disney, by the way, tried to set up an acolyte with lesbian witches who are getting each other pregnant with their incantations.
Just crazy, crazy stuff.
That's now been canceled.
And again, you look at what the garbage is being put out by Netflix.
Stuff is being put out by Disney.
People are canceling left and right.
Hollywood Studios are leaving plenty of money on the table, said Matt Walsh.
And we're happy to come in and take some of it.
Because at a minimum, you are explicitly refusing to serve 50% of the audience.
And I've got to say, this has always been this way.
Even when we go back and look at when we were in the video business.
We had... They would make so much money off of G and PG films.
But they really didn't want to do that.
They would go in and they would add gratuitous sex scenes.
You know, a typical thing. They'd go, let's go into a topless bar where we can discuss what's going to happen.
Just so they can get an R-rated version.
They went to the mat...
To stop people from creating cleaner versions, like an airplane version.
That was one of the selling features when we had the store.
I was telling people, I said, you know, DVD stuff is coming up, and here's one of the ways that it could be used.
You could have a situation where you could watch an airplane version of it where they take out the sex and nudity that's gratuitously been put in and just branch over that if you choose to watch it that way.
And people said, oh, that's a great idea.
And when we went to one of the conventions, I pitched that to the New Line Cinema Executive, who was pitching DVDs to everybody.
And I said, there's a lot of demand for this.
I hope you're going to do that. He said, well, no, the directors really hate that when we do it.
They want to get an R rating, and that's the respect that they get out of their community.
And it's like, well, you know, you don't want to make money, you don't want to make money.
And they don't. They don't want to make money.
They wanted to make filthy, stupid, R-rated films even 40, 50 years ago.
And then what happened was they went the other direction.
They did use that function on a DVD shortly after that.
They had a film called Crash, and it was like this hard R film about somebody had a fetish about automobile accidents or something, and it was disgusting.
What they did was they created a DVD version of it, and if you wanted to, you could watch a really ultra-hardcore version of this thing.
They went exactly the opposite direction.
That's the way Hollywood has always been.
So, what's the bottom line on this?
Well, the bottom line is that Coppola spent $120 million for his film.
He made $4 million at the box office, and he got a 34% audience approval rating.
Whereas his film from Matt Walsh, he made it not for $120 million, he made it for $3 million.
And he got, instead of 34% audience approval on Rotten Tomatoes, he got 97% approval.
And instead of making $4 million at the box office, he made $4.5 million at the box office.
Basically, none of that stuff counts.
It's all about their ego, and it's even more so about what they want to push to people.
