Thank you.
Thank you.
Using free speech to free minds.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
As the clock strikes 13, it's Wednesday, the 18th of December, year of our Lord 2024.
Well, today we're going to take a look, we're going to begin with the continuing resolution, this omnibus bill that they're putting off to the last minute, as they always do.
This is the Pelosi tactic that's been adopted by John Boehner, Mike Johnson, but...
We're going to take a look at the legislation that is in it about this drone stuff.
And we're going to take a look at something that is far worse, I think, than that passing.
And we'll take a look at the political clowns.
We've got Supreme Court Justice, who hopefully has found another career.
We can keep our fingers crossed with that, but it is pretty amazing.
And as we look at crypto and what is happening, we now have, if you want to get rich, here's a tip.
Put your money on fart coin, because that's the way the markets are going right now.
Truly amazing.
And we'll also have an update on this shooting of this Christian school.
Looks like there was some, well, we'll tell you what the motivations were.
world.
We'll be right back.
Well, it is being described as a total dumpster fire by other Republicans, what is being done by Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House. it is being described as a total dumpster fire by I don't know, I guess he just couldn't get this thing out any sooner.
He had to go on these trips with Trump and Musk.
Always see him, never a place at the table, but always photobombing them, right?
I saw him over the weekend at the Army-Navy game, photobombing the two best friends now, Trump and Elon Musk.
One of them a puppet.
It's not Musk.
Anyway, so we've got this kind of put off to the last minute.
Congressional leaders on Tuesday evening finally released a short-term government funding bill to avert a shutdown by the end of the week.
It will continue funding the government through March the 14th, 2025. Unfortunately.
Just let it expire.
Die a peaceful death.
It is bankrupt anyway, right?
The measure also includes $100 billion for disaster relief.
When I looked at this, I thought, well, they're saying it's for the hurricane victims.
I don't know, maybe it's just going to go to FEMA bureaucrats.
They're getting these massive bonuses each week as they sat in their hotel room before.
Now they've got temporary housing, trailers and stuff that are set up.
But of course, if you put up, you're not allowed to put a trailer in there.
FEMA says, no, you can't put a trailer in a flood zone.
Only we can do that.
And if the Amish build a house for you, the local officials will come in and tear it down because the temporary house doesn't have electricity or water.
Of course, you won't have electricity or water if they tear the house down and throw you out either.
But the measure also includes $100.4 billion for disaster relief, another $10 billion in economic assistance for farmers.
Republican leaders could hold a vote as soon as today.
But it's more likely to happen on Thursday.
The very first thing that is mentioned by ABC News is reauthorization for the Department of Homeland Security's Unmanned Aircraft Systems Program.
Perhaps that's what this is first of all about, but I'm afraid that's what it is not all about, all this drone stuff.
There'll be other things in there.
One-year extension of the Farm Bill to grant Washington, D.C. control of the stadium that's there so they can move the NFL team from Maryland to D.C. They got a provision to cover rebuilding the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore that collapsed when the container ship ran into it.
So there's all this different stuff, right, that's happening there.
But...
The very first thing is reauthorization of this Homeland Security Unmanned Aircraft Systems Program.
And notice that they say it is a reauthorization.
And today we're going to talk about, I've got a clip from somebody who works with drones all the time, and he talks about, well, all the stuff that they say they don't have.
They've had it.
They've had the authority to do all this stuff.
Now, they're trying to expand it.
And that is not just reauthorizing it, but they want to expand it.
But they have the authority right now to take down all of these drones that aren't broadcasting their ID. That's a very interesting thing when we look at this.
Anyway, the speaker, Mike Johnson, expressed a preference to abide by waiting 72 hours after the bill's text was posted to hold a vote.
Lawmakers, though, want to get out of town for Christmas.
The same thing that happened with the authorization of the Federal Reserve.
They waited until a bunch of them left to go home for the holidays, and then they passed it with the people that remained behind that maybe had been given a tip about doing that.
There was a lot of opposition.
Then, as now, to the existence of the Federal Reserve, they knew exactly what that thing was going to be.
But anyway, we'll talk about that more later.
It's very likely that he might honor that rule.
And again, these are the tactics of Nancy Pelosi, of John Boehner, and so forth.
Create a massive omnibus bill.
Got everything in it.
And there's no time to consider these things one at a time.
We just put everything in it.
And wait until the last minute.
Drop this bill that is hundreds or thousands of pages long.
And we've got to authorize the defense authorization bill, the NDAA. That's one of the tricks that they always do.
But now they do that with everything.
Now it's everything.
Put it in there.
You've got to get it.
That's one of the reasons why they're going to get this program through as well for the drones.
Missouri Republican Representative Eric Berthelsen called the Speaker's funding plan presented at the conference meeting a, quote, total dumpster fire.
She said, I think it's garbage.
So, I'm sorry, he did.
Brilson's a guy.
I'm disappointed, said Brilson.
He can communicate better.
The fact that we haven't seen the language today and we're supposed to vote for it this week is unacceptable.
South Carolina Republican Representative Ralph Norman said he's also frustrated.
He says, I'm not voting for this continuing resolution.
Chip Roy said, A frequent critic of leadership's spending bills and this whole idea that you're going to roll everything together, massive bill, drop it at the last minute, nobody's got a chance to read it, take it all or leave it all.
He said, this is not the way to do business right.
We are just fundamentally unserious about spending money.
Boy, if you've ever been any more fundamentally unserious person, And then Mike Johnson, I can't think of one.
This guy is such a turncoat shell.
It's amazing.
As long as you've got a blank check, said Chip Roy, you can't shrink the government.
And he said, if you can't shrink the government, you can't live free.
We got everybody thinking that they're going to live for free.
At the expense of the government.
But where does that money come from?
Well, it's just conjured out of thin air by the Federal Reserve, of course.
We never have to pay it back, except look at where we are now, $35 trillion.
And look at how the debt itself has become a huge portion of everything that Washington does, just servicing that debt.
And, of course, we can't be free if we've got people coming here for free stuff.
People are coming here for free stuff, not for freedom, right?
It's a difference.
It's a big difference.
But they won't do anything to even stop the welfare state for foreign citizens.
Isn't that amazing?
To me, that is the most drunken sailor aspect of all this stuff.
You know, spending money like a drunken sailor.
We've got free everything for anybody, anywhere in the world.
You just come here.
Johnson brushed off the criticism.
Of course, he said, I've got a couple of friends who will just say that about any end-of-the-year funding measure, said Mike Johnson.
This is not an omnibus bill, okay?
It just looks like one.
I just put everything in there, but it's not an omnibus bill.
This is a small continuing resolution.
We've had to add things that were out of our control.
These are not man-made disasters.
Well, then maybe we can get rid of the Paris Climate Accord because you've got all these people saying that hurricanes are based on man-made climate change.
Anyway, it's all about the continuing funding of all government.
It is an omnibus bill.
And the measure, what is it going to entail in terms of the politics here?
NBC says, let's keep the government funded until March the 14th.
But it's going to throw a messy deadline into Trump's first 100 days while giving the GOP more leverage at that point in time, perhaps, to shape a full funding deal.
So that's the issue.
And of course, the first thing they mention is the $100 billion for disaster relief for Helene and Milton.
But then they talk about the provision that would reauthorize Homeland Security.
Allowing federal agencies to coordinate and counter threats from drones, given public concern about recent sightings.
Well, that's not really what it is.
We're going to tell you what it reauthorizes and what it extends.
The federal government and federal agencies can already counter these threats.
And we know that because they arrested a couple of people near Boston Airport at the same time.
They're saying, we don't have any way to find out who's flying drones and all the rest of this stuff.
On the one hand, the GOP's trifecta in 2025. We'll give it more leverage to shape the contours of a full funding deal next year.
There's also a benefit for Mike Johnson in punting this difficult spending decision beyond January the 3rd, when he will need nearly every House Republican to vote to re-elect him as Speaker.
The GOP House majority was trimmed to 220 versus 215 in the last month's election, giving Johnson very little margin for error.
And I think it's even less than that because of the people that Trump has picked.
For cabinet positions, although maybe they've just been temporarily replaced by other Republicans.
The main downside is that it would force Congress to grapple with another deadline early in Trump's term, potentially taking time away from his other priorities, you know, like getting nominees confirmed in the Senate.
So, we'll see what happens with this.
We're going to take a break, and when we come back, we're going to take a look at something that is far more sinister than this reauthorization of authority that they already have, and extending it.
And then we're also going to talk about what this reauthorization is truly about.
We'll be right back.

Yippee-i-i-o, ghost riders in the sky.
An old cowboat went riding out one dark and windy day.
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way.
When all at once a mighty bunch of red-eyed cows he saw Plowing through the ragged skies And up a cloudy draw Yippee-i-i-ay
yippee-i-o Ghost riders in the sky Brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel.
The horns were black and shiny and the hot breath he could feel.
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky.
He saw the riders coming home.
Do you really think you'll have a chance against us, Mr. Cowboy?
Well, there may be Ghost Riders in the Sky, but it sounds like something there may be Ghost Riders in the Sky, but it sounds like something out of Ghostbusters when you listen Yes, she is ready to believe you if you tell her it's aliens and UFOs.
Nancy Mace said on a recent podcast that the mysterious drone sightings in the Northeast may be craft from outer space.
I think that has to be on the table.
We have to have that as an option.
I move that we table this option.
I don't think there's a chance in hell, literally, because if it isn't the U.S. government, which I believe that it is, it would be straight from hell.
Some demonic deception.
But anyway, she believes the federal government is lying to the American people.
How do you know that?
Well, because they're talking.
Their mouth is moving, so you know they're lying.
Look, literally everybody knows the federal government is lying to us at this point.
None of this makes any sense.
It's amazing how they persist, isn't it?
It's like Oliver Anthony said, these rich men north of Richmond, they think we don't know, but we do.
Why do they keep doing this?
I mean, the credibility of the Biden administration just keeps sinking further and further.
What a joke they are!
It's going to be remembered, I think, as not just because it's more recent, but I think it's going to be remembered as even worse than the Jimmy Carter administration.
You know, Jimmy Carter was just malaise and financially incompetent.
Well, you can add to those two things with the Biden administration even more financially incompetent.
And even more malaise, but you can add to it all the gender insanity and the direct sabotage of this country in so many different ways.
Anyway, the only speculation is what are these criminals in Washington, D.C. up to, right?
We all know they're lying.
What is their endgame here?
But Nancy May said, I find it interesting and fascinating that the odds are in your favor that there is extraterrestrial life in the universe.
Actually, there's not a chance, Nancy.
If you know anything about...
This is just evolutionary BS recycled from Carl Sagan and other people like that.
If you knew anything about chance and probability, if you knew anything about physics, you wouldn't believe any of this stuff.
Faster than light travel is not possible, and none of the rest of this stuff is either.
But she says, if it's all just BS and noise, then why such a great effort by the government to discredit its own people?
It just doesn't add up for me.
Well, really?
That's pretty naive, isn't it?
I mean, isn't what the government always does with this stuff, don't they first deny that there's anything really going on?
As they've got the media normalizing it with everybody?
And then after everybody, oh yeah, this is really something, then they flip the script and then they panic everybody with fear.
Isn't this the process with which they do?
The question is, when are they going to flip it?
How are they going to try to panic people?
How are they going to use this?
But it's the same pattern that they run for every one of these operations.
Maybe she genuinely doesn't know.
Maybe she's that clueless.
The government...
She said, it's doing what the government does.
That's right.
They're lying to the American people about these drones over New Jersey.
Well, she got that much right, at least.
Nobody in America believes this stuff, including the people who are telling it to you, right?
The people in the FBI and the CIA and the Biden administration and the Biden cartel.
None of the people believe that.
She said, if it's not craft from outer space, Is it our technology, or is it Russia, or Iran, or China, or someone who is winning the arms race and we are behind?
My concern is national security.
Let's throw some more money at this, right?
Well, the possibility that it would be a false flag doesn't even occur to her.
But it does occur to some other people.
But before we get to that, I thought this was an interesting article from Mediaite.
And they come after Doug Mastriano, who is a state senator in Pennsylvania.
He ran for governor and lost.
But, of course, Mediate is rabidly partisan, hating all Republicans.
Listen to this headline.
Quote, MAGA state senator gets destroyed over a stunning tweet mistaking a giant Star Wars prop for a captured drone.
Yeah, as a matter of fact, when you look at that, here's the tweet that he put up.
And you can see that it's kind of off the screen a little bit, but it's got one of the TIE fighters sitting on a flatbed truck being pulled.
And then there's a community note saying, well, this is not a real TIE fighter.
Really?
This is a Star Wars prop.
And that's what they're coming after him for.
They said, you really think that that is a real TIE fighter?
That that's really what they found?
And this is what Mediaite is pushing out.
Mediaite says, Mastriano metaphorically asked Trump to hold his beer...
As the case may be with a post in which he ranted about drones and included a photo of a full-scale TIE fighter on a flatbed truck with a headline, Breaking News!
Crashed drone in Orange Beach retrieved from water and taken to an undisclosed location for further investigation.
That was the headline on the meme.
That's not what Mastriano put up.
What he said is, it is inconceivable that the federal government has no answers, nor has taken any action to get to the bottom of these unidentified drones.
The fecklessness of this administration was on display last year when a Chinese surveillance balloon was allowed to fly over the entire continent of the U.S. before being shot down and so forth.
Well, you've got people like Jake Tapper coming back at him and saying, Jake Tapper and others, says Mediaite, bombarded Mastriano with enough mockery to blow the wings off a Gondark.
That's something from Star Wars.
Anyway, Jake Tapper said, I take the actual drone story seriously, but regarding the below picture, I'm pretty sure that Red Leader Garvin Drice shot down that TIE fighter in Episode 4, A New Hope.
This is Jake Tapper, who seriously, seriously identified Sam Hyde as a shooter.
And I trolled him on that and he blocked me.
But his response to me, before he blocked me, he actually responded.
And he said, well, we had that on good information from a congressman.
Oh, really?
And I said to him, I said, so if anybody in government tells you something, you just run with it.
You don't ever check to see if it's true.
And he blocked me.
But that's the truth of this stuff.
And he didn't get the satire then, and he doesn't get the satire now.
Again, you have somebody named Nate Blowan.
I guess he's a Utah representative.
So it's good to know that I will never be the dumbest state senator in the country.
Well, Nate, hold my beer because you just might be the dumbest in the country.
So that was a tweet.
And he followed this up.
Mastriano says, well, it turns out it wasn't an unmanned drone after all.
They've now apprehended the suspect.
And you can see Darth Vader there in handcuffs with cops on either side of him.
And people were saying, I can't believe that they didn't understand your satire that was there.
You know, I showed earlier this week, you know, I showed this gif that's there of, I'll play it again here, let's see, this gif of people crashed TIE fighter with some stormtroopers standing beside it, you know, it's crashed onto the interstate.
I didn't really believe that that was a real thing either.
See, the problem with the left, maybe this is why there's censors everywhere, right?
They just don't understand satire and comedy.
They're humorless tyrants.
And so that's really what they're doing with Mastriano, I think.
Another person says, Our country is so cooked when sitting senators can't recognize a Star Wars prop replica.
And maybe it's just as bad when you've got people in the left-wing media and political parties that can't recognize satire.
Why did you post a picture of a replica TIE fighter?
Are you stupid?
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
No, but you may be.
Anyway, the picture itself is over two years old, just like that one of the crash.
Spy drones from China are likely the cause of unexplained aircraft wreaking havoc over the U.S., the House Foreign Affairs chair says in a bombshell claim.
Now, this is Mike McCall, military-industrial complex warmonger.
And you should be very concerned about the lies that he's pushing.
Is he really this stupid?
Is it satire?
I'm afraid it's not satire.
He seriously wants you to believe this.
And this story, folks, is as preposterous as the stories about coming out of the Biden administration.
Mike McCall said he believes that some unidentified drone spotted above New Jersey and New York are spy drones from China.
He's not joking.
He is the joke.
He says, I was with the NASA administrator, Bill Nelson, and he said these drones have been reported over military sites.
Did he say anything about Sam Hyde?
Did he tell you about Sam Hyde?
You're going to believe what the Biden-NASA administrator says?
He said they've been reported over military sites, over military bases.
I would not think that those are friendly.
I would think that those are adversarial.
I mean, we would never have any American drones or planes flying over American bases, would we?
So, look, if they're unfriendly, they would have shot them down.
They have the capability.
We all know they've got the capability to do it.
They've demonstrated over and over again.
I mean, just, you know, even the small drones that were out there at Boston Airport.
So what are our possibilities?
Consider them.
Number one, according to Nancy Mace, it's aliens.
According to Mike McCall, it's China.
According to Jeff Van Drew, that congressman from New Jersey, it's an Iranian mothership.
The Biden administration says it stores his drones that you can buy in a convenience store.
Or mistaken airplanes.
And then we have the sheep-dipped former CIA person, Laura Ballman, who was telling us that it was a classified drill.
Is it to push legislation, or is there something even more sinister?
So let's take a look at this legislation.
That they've got there.
That is part of this omnibus bill that Mike Johnson is running through that they're going to vote on this week, H.R. 6810, to reauthorize, notice reauthorize, and reform counter unmanned aircraft systems.
That's drones.
They refer to the drones as UAS. I guess it's too many letters if you put drones in.
I'm sure they could come up with some interesting acronym.
Instead of UAS, they could come up with something that spells out drone.
You know, just a couple more words in there.
But, you know, UAS is very much like UAP, which they want to switch UFOs to UAPs.
But anyway, it's to counter drones.
That's what that whole bill is about.
And now it's been folded in to pass this week.
When I look this up, you can go to a site, GovTrack, And it gives the chance of passing a particular bill.
This was introduced in September, and it was recently given a 37% chance of passing before all this drone stuff started.
Now it's pretty much guaranteed to pass because it's folded into the continuing resolution.
And so, what is it about?
Well, the bill describes itself as reauthorization to reform counter drone systems, to improve transparency.
That would mean for them, not for us.
You know, they want to be able to transparently see everything that we're doing.
Well, they hide everything from us.
And to improve security, safety, and accountability.
Accountability of us to them.
Not accountability of them to us.
It's about removing any accountability, any transparency.
And of course, when you remove all that, we are not safe and secure.
They are safe and secure.
Because if we knew what they were doing, just like all of this drone stuff, they would not be safe and secure, I guarantee you.
And then it says this.
It has this long laundry list to improve transparency, security, safety, and accountability, and for other purposes.
Which we can't tell you about, even in the bill, right?
So, this goes back.
They first gave this authority all the way back in 2002 when they created Homeland Security.
They gave them the authority to do this.
So, all this stuff from Mallorca about, well, we don't have any authority to do anything with this.
He would be lying again, again, as he always does.
It would strengthen the FAA's authority over drones, they say.
But also, their current authorities are set to lapse next week.
So, it is a must-pass thing here.
But it would strengthen their authority over drones in order to destroy them in flight.
Now, the government already has given itself the authority.
This is to reauthorize the authority to do all of this, to destroy drones.
It's not to reauthorize the FAA, of course.
The FAA is unfortunately a permanent fixture with eternal life, as Ronald Reagan said.
The closest thing to eternal life we have on this earth is a federal bureaucracy.
And so it's not to reauthorize the FAA, but it is to reauthorize their countering of drones.
And it is to expand the numbers of people who can shoot things out of the sky.
If they think it's a drone.
You see, the FBI currently has that authority.
And again, the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, lied to us.
Oh, we just don't have the authority to do anything about this.
No, you do.
And the FBI specifically, under Homeland Security, specifically has the authority to shoot these things down.
That was granted to them in 2019...
And so now they want to extend the reach.
They said, the FBI has given the authority of this, but we want a lot of people to have the authority.
We want state governments to have this authority.
We want local governments to have this authority.
And so Homeland Security lied to you about it.
FBI lied to you about it.
The sheriff there in Monmouth County actually lied to us about it.
I played that clip on Monday.
He said, well, we just don't know.
We don't know what these things are.
We need to have regulations so that we can identify who these different groups are.
And that's a total lie.
They've had the ability to identify them, as I said before.
There is, and I did not realize it when I ran this through, but a guy who works with drones, and I'm going to play this for you, 33rd Frame is the name of his YouTube account.
He talks about the fact that, you know, how do they find these guys so quickly in Boston?
Well, it's based on what he tells you about how these drones operate.
Look at this infomercial that the FAA put out showing when some guy flew his drone without a remote ID over a local ball game with a bunch of kids around.
As the U.S. and Canadian Border Patrol personnel get set to play their softball game at Pinty Field, southeast of the farmer's market, traffic monitoring and FBI surveillance drones conduct operations over the park.
A food delivery drone brings pizza to help the players carb load before the game, then promptly departs the area.
A recreational user named Danny is in the park nearby and watches as the softball game gets underway.
He launches his UAS to get a better view, flying repeatedly over the crowd.
A local law enforcement official from the Oneida County Sheriff's Department notices Danny's UAS and notifies other law enforcement officers in Rome.
A federal official from the FBI steps in to help retrieve the necessary information.
The FBI official initiates a correlation query with the Federal Aviation Administration which provides identifying information about the UAS and its operator.
The FBI official uses this information to determine that Danny is a regular who commonly flies his drone at this park.
The official is also able to determine that Danny does not have a waiver to operate over people and contacts Danny directly.
In part two, while the FBI official engages with Danny...
Wow, what an interweaving connection of law enforcement and data centers that have all your information looking you up and finding out exactly where you are to shut you down.
Because goodness knows that if you're flying your hobbyist drone over a ball game, everyone there is at risk of serious injury.
We're talking about a response of that to that situation.
Now we look at massive drone operations.
Now mind you too, just for a mere safety aspect of this, the drones that are being flown over right now in America and New Jersey are somewhere around six feet.
These are massive drones.
These drones that if they had a malfunction and they crashed, they would crash through your roof and potentially kill somebody.
Okay, now it's actually really tough and really unlikely for that to happen.
But still, the FAA passed a law saying that anyone even enjoying the tiniest hobby of flying this 300 gram drone is going to become an international criminal that will be hunted down like it's a Bond movie if you're flying without remote ID. And yet we can have all these massive drone operations going on.
Well, then I guess they must have remote ID, right?
Because if they don't have remote ID, then what's all this talk about not being able to deal with a threat and shoot them down because it could potentially be a legal operation from a couple pranksters in their garage.
Even if they're disturbing people, it's still within their rights to fly their drones in New Jersey, right?
No, that's literally the law that you just passed.
They are not within their rights to fly that drone without remote ID. So then the question becomes, if they have remote ID, then you should have their information, their location, their address, every single thing about them and their FAA registration, all of that, right?
It would be easy to tell the public, oh, it's just a bunch of pranksters who are doing this.
Right?
Okay, but then if they don't have remote ID, then why are you not dealing with the threat as severely as poor Danny over there flying over the local ballgame?
That doesn't make any sense.
Well, there's only one answer that makes any sense.
ISIS has finally registered their drones with the FAA, and they are indeed complying to the remote ID legislation.
I joke, that's pretty much just about as unlikely.
The obvious answer is, it's the American government running an operation.
That's exactly what it is.
So there's nothing to talk about.
If it wasn't a known drone, if the drone was truly unidentified, it would have been shot down by now.
Let's not walk into some sort of conflict out of stupidity.
This is 33rd Frame.
I hope this was informative, and I'll catch you next time.
Yeah, you laid it out there, didn't you?
You know, for the longest time, first the FAA came out and said, you're going to register the drones with us, and it's only going to cost you $25, but if you find you flying these things that are unregistered, $25,000 fine.
And a lot of people push back on that, you know, because, again, this is a rule, not a law, so they can do anything they want, and the Bill of Rights don't apply, so you can have excessive punishment, right?
And they did walk that back a little bit, but the bottom line is, after that...
They started requiring all the drones to have a remote ID responder telling them who it is.
And so if they see a drone and it doesn't have that responder ID, as he showed, you know, that while they get this responder ID, local law enforcement relays it to the FBI, and, you know, the FBI gets in touch with the FAA, and they know everything about the person who owns this drone.
Well, that sounds like the way the government operates.
And, of course, that is the way they operate.
That was the FAA's little public service announcement that he showed.
And so, now that they know who it is, they'll send the police out there to talk to this guy.
Right?
Tell them to take it down or whatever.
If they didn't know who it was, they would shoot him.
So, this is the way that it really works.
So, maybe...
This is about the legislation, but maybe it's about something a lot more serious.
And I started getting concerned about this as I saw the number of media outlets start to talk about them searching for radiation and a radioactive bomb.
And I talked about this yesterday, just to briefly recap.
They say, well, you know, beginning of the month you had, which is after all this stuff started, by the way, right?
The timelines don't even match up.
And so it was well after all this stuff started on November 18th, a medical shipment with radioactive stuff in it.
The contents went missing.
The box arrived, beat up, and the teeny tiny things that were in there.
As I pointed out yesterday, class three, less than class three, they said.
Class three, you'd have to handle something for several hours unprotected before it damaged you, right?
Right.
But this was less than Class III. So this is a Class IV. With Class IV, you have to handle it way more than several hours, and it might cause you temporary damage to your body.
That's what they're all freaking out about?
Seriously?
That's what they're talking about with the dirty bomb?
No, I don't think so.
So they've tried to sex that up with some implications from one person who sells to the military-industrial complex.
And so he starts pushing the idea that this perhaps is some of the missing nukes that we don't know went missing.
We had a massive amount of money given to Ukraine and Russia after the Soviet Union broke up to try to secure all these things that could be turned into what they called a suitcase nuke.
Never saw one of those.
35 years, we've never seen one of them.
And so you would think in the aftermath of 9-11, if it was really terrorists or something, maybe they would have done a suitcase nuke.
Maybe that could have brought the building down.
Certainly not being hit by a plane or a building steel skyscraper that wasn't even hit by a plane collapsing.
But no, the suitcase nuke thing is they're trying to revive that after 35 years of fear.
I don't think it's any of that stuff.
And that just doesn't hold water.
So Brian Shalhavi at Health Impact News says, Is the drone slap indicating an immediate false flag attack?
That's what I'm concerned about now.
I'm concerned more about that than the legislation.
Because what the legislation is going to do is reauthorize the fact that they can take down drones and allow more people than just the FBI to take down drones if they are flying without their responders.
Or if they're flying...
Over critical infrastructure, if they're flying over people, or if they're flying over military bases, or all the things that these drones are doing.
Anyway, the ongoing drone psyop, he said, we're going on almost four weeks now.
And the headline news in the U.S. has been obviously following a carefully written script to get the public's attention.
It began with the assassination of the CEO. He said, now we've got the drone story to displace the CEO assassination.
He said, what I usually like to do when it's obvious that the American public is being distracted by something that corporate and alternative media is publishing that stays in the news cycle for so long is to look outside of American media.
So he said, this morning I looked at two Russian-English news sites and five different Middle Eastern English news sites and one major English news site out of China.
He said there wasn't a single article about the drone crisis in the U.S., So I guess they don't agree with Nancy Mace that it's inevitable that it is little green men coming to visit us.
They're not worried about that.
The Middle Eastern news is, of course, still concentrating on the war in Gaza and the new situation in Syria, and China seems mostly concerned about Trump's alleged new tariff trade wars that are being threatened.
And when you look at the Russian news, however, this is the headline news today.
Western leaders think that they are chosen by God.
Says Putin.
And he said, the West is pushing Russia beyond the red line.
Western countries continue to act as if they are God's representatives on Earth, said Putin, by trying to maintain their global domination through imposing duplicitous rules.
And of course, it's not the only article they've had about it.
They've had on RT and others, they've had article after article, op-ed after op-ed, not just by Putin, but by other people that would agree with him.
Saying this whole talk about rules-based order, what is that?
Well, they're the ones who make the rules, and they're the ones who order you around.
And they don't abide by those rules.
They just order other people around by those rules.
And they pointed out, you know, look at what is happening in Syria, for example.
You know, what is the U.S. doing there, attacking things?
And why isn't that condemned by the U.N., by the international community?
The U.S. invaded Syria.
We used, at the very least, A-10 warthogs, but there's many other things that were used in support of Al-Qaeda, ISIS, Al-Nusra, the Mujahideen, whatever you want to call them.
They've got a new name now, but it's the same people, and it's the same game.
They make the rules, and they use them to order other people around.
He said, in fact, there is only one stable rule, that there are no rules for those who make the rules.
Or for those who consider themselves to be at the head of the whole world, those who consider themselves to be representatives of God on earth, although they themselves do not believe in God, said Putin.
At this time of Christmas, it's a time for us to remember that, right?
We celebrate God who became man.
And yet, every government throughout history, for the most part, has been composed of people, men, who Who believe that they're going to use government as a tool to become God.
That's the way they govern.
That's the way they govern.
And they think that they are God, and that applies pretty much everywhere.
I'd say it applies to Putin as well.
Takes one to know one, doesn't it?
But Brian Shohavi says, China, Russia, and Iran would not have any motivation to make a military strike on the U.S. soil, the mainland, as long as our financial system is still intact, because they all drink from the spigot of U.S. wealth, even with the sanctions in place.
Of course, the sanctions haven't hurt them.
After Biden put in those stupid sanctions, which completely discredited the U.S. dollar, Biden selling, the price of oil skyrocketed, and he sold it as a discount if you would pay for it in gold.
It's kind of a win-win situation.
Win-win-win.
I think he had three wins out of that, quite frankly.
A U.S. military report published earlier this year admitted that the U.S. military could not defeat China in a direct military confrontation, writes Brian Shalhavi.
And he referred to an article.
This Iran Corporation report came out this week at the time, earlier this year.
Explain that the U.S. could not win a war against China, that Americans are totally unaware of the danger that they're in, and totally unprepared for the consequences of such a war, such as a cyber attack that would bring down our ports and much of our infrastructure.
And they're not the only ones to say that.
There's been a lot of war games, a lot of different institutions saying, you know, we've war-gamed this situation with Taiwan, and every time we do it, we seem to lose, you know?
And some people have let that leak because the Biden administration and the Pentagon and the CIA are so arrogant.
Or perhaps they want to destroy America.
That's Joel Skousen's position, has been for a very, very long time.
I mean, I've been gone from Infowars for four years, and I remember having him on a couple of years before I left.
And he's talking about, well, they're going to set this up.
They believe they can survive.
They can survive a first strike, nuclear strike.
And they want that, to reset the board and to do what they want to do here domestically as well as foreign.
And so we may look at it and say, that's stupid.
That's suicidal.
No, that's their plan.
Because these people are demonic and nihilistic.
As demonic and nihilistic as that shooter who shot a bunch of innocent children and then killed herself.
That's a metaphor, folks, for our government.
And it's not just Biden.
It's not just Trump.
It's the people who run them.
The people who stay in place from administration to administration while they select a different puppet and tell you that with the election you've got a choice.
This new weapons technology unveiled by Russia, the Arashnik missile, has changed everything in November.
It must be putting a lot of pressure on the American military leaders.
And Brian says, I wouldn't be surprised at all if this entire drone PSYOP has something to do with their next move, which could be some kind of false flag attack about to be launched on American soil by the U.S. military.
I mean, you go back and look at the things that have been declassified.
Operation Northwoods, where they war-gamed how they were going to justify attacking Cuba by a false-flight attack that made it look like Cuba had flown planes into buildings and had attacked U.S. military bases.
And they were going to fly planes into buildings and kill Americans.
And they were going to attack military bases, U.S. military bases, and kill U.S. soldiers.
This is what the Pentagon was planning for.
And of course, the guy who was the chief of staff with that, JFK fired him.
Then he becomes head of NATO. That's where you go when you get completely discredited, I guess, because Mark Ruta, who just tried to starve the people of the Netherlands by banning farms and all the rest of the stuff, when the people organized and created a new political party for farms and for food, they kicked him out.
Where'd they send him?
Well, they sent him to NATO. And so while this Joint Chiefs of Staff guy, Lyman Limitzer, goes to NATO, shortly after that they have Operation Gladio, where they stage terrorist attacks.
They blame it on leftists and communists, but it was being done by right-wing NATO people.
Even kidnapped and killed Aldo Morrow, their Italian prime minister.
And Steve Pchenik was involved in that, there by Henry Kissinger.
Steve Pchenik, Alex Jones' source.
To kick off Stop the Steal.
Nothing suspicious about that, is there?
Yeah, Alex is not CIA or controlled opposition, is he?
Of course not.
Well, the bottom line is it looks to me like this is the likely scenario.
Not even the legislation, I'm afraid.
Well, before I take a break, some of the comments here.
KWD68 says, I'm fine with TIE fighters.
Stormtroopers can't shoot straight.
These drones aren't a PSYOP or searching for nukes.
They're looking for intelligent life, and that's why it's taking so long.
I'm not going to fight the intelligent life around Washington.
Big Brit is back again.
Says they already have jamming tech for civilian drones around airports and military bases.
That's right.
They know everything about that.
And airport, you know, all this stuff.
And they've demonstrated it as this was going on.
If you look at the news, you see how they're demonstrating how everything they tell you is a total lie.
Handy.
One thing consumer drones have allowed us is the widespread alternative coverage of the North Carolina destruction and recovery.
That's right.
And we can't have any more of that.
Good point, Handy.
That's right.
It's about transparency, security, safety, and accountability.
For you, for them, right?
Transparency, see what you're doing?
Accountability of you to them and no security or safety for you, but all of that for them.
That's right.
He says we can't have any more of that.
They have identification on top of identification with these drones.
Legally, you're also supposed to have an amateur radio license to operate a drone.
Well, I didn't know that part about it either.
We have a small drone.
I've never bothered to get any permission from them.
My concern is not the FAA. Whenever I fly a drone around here, or try to, all of a sudden these hawks come out of it.
It's like, don't kill my drone.
It comes in peace.
And don't rip it to pieces, okay?
It's a peaceful drone.
Leave it alone.
But yeah, the hawks are right on it.
It must be sending out a special signal to them.
But anyway, we're going to take a break and we'll be right back.
Right, boys and girls, there's a post-election sale on silver and gold!
Trump euphoria has caused a dip in silver and gold.
It's time to buy some medals with fiat dollars before they come to their sense is.
Go to davidknight.gold to get in touch with the wise wolf himself, Tony Arterburn.
He knows where to look to find silver and gold.
Yuck!
The odd!
Thank you.
Another opening of another show.
I'm sorry.
What's that saying about politics that's kind of showbiz for ugly people?
Well, I gotta say that as Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown-Jackson is getting her moment in the spotlight, her couple of seconds of fame.
As you saw there, she had a one-night stand on a queer reimagining of Romeo and Juliet.
Called And Juliet.
We're going to get rid of Romeo.
Don't want any Romeos around there.
It kind of harkens to this reimagining of Disney's Snow White, that they're doing the live action thing.
And the woke actress that is playing says, it's kind of creepy how Prince Charming stalks her.
So we just want and Snow White and Julie.
Get rid of Romeo.
Get rid of Prince Charming.
So Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson had a Broadway debut on the queer twist of Romeo and Juliet.
And I guess the question is...
Did she do some research for this?
What is my motivation here?
What is Juliet?
Is she a woman?
I don't even know what a woman is, right?
That was the famous thing from her confirmation hearing.
She previously said that it was her life's goal to perform on a Broadway stage.
Well, let's help her get started.
I hope...
I hope this can be the beginning of a new career.
I'd definitely like to see her transition to Broadway and now the Supreme Court.
So when I did my very first show, I brought in people in California who wanted to secede from the United States because Trump was president.
That was, you know, first few months of 2017. And I said, what can we do to help you go?
What can we do to help her?
I think she did a great job.
It was absolutely fantastic.
And of course, she was very impressed with her ability as well.
She said, I, a Miami girl from a modest background with an unabashed love of theater, dreamed of one day ascending to the highest court in the land, and I had said so in one of my supplemental application essays.
I want to fulfill my fantasy of becoming the first black female Supreme Court justice.
Can we think of any other adjectives there?
To appear on a Broadway stage.
And so here is her appearance.
On the Broadway stage.
Female empowerment Sick Sick I like it too!
I think what I like about it is that I am having a very strongly negative reaction to it.
Like I hate it.
Which makes me think it must be brilliant.
Wow.
I've got to go see that.
to Broadway.
Yeah, come on.
Ha ha ha ha!
I think she should definitely quit her day job.
You know, I think she's got a career there.
Yeah, that's, look, this kind of stuff, reimagining everything as queer, isn't that the essence of what the Biden cartel has been about?
We're going to reimagine everything as queer, including Shakespeare.
And so I think that she should be black by popular demand and go black to Broadway.
That's a big career waiting for her right there.
Musical production of Romeo and Juliet.
When I told Whistler this, he said, how appropriate.
That they would do Romeo and Juliet where all the characters commit suicide.
After, I guess, they had the mutilation surgery and they figured out what's going on.
Of her one-night role, Jackson said, I think it means that anything is possible.
Well, maybe not.
The walk-on role was created specifically for her and was otherwise not a part of the show.
That was Saturday's audience that saw it.
Again, the way they referred to this play was as a jukebox or something.
So it's just like this loose collection, I guess, of vignettes and songs.
So it wasn't really too hard to put her in there because, you know, like pretty much everything else that they do now, it didn't have any plot.
It didn't have any character development.
Yeah.
Let's just throw her out there.
So, again, she, as we know, during the confirmation thing, she was asked, what is a woman?
She refused to define that.
But also during the confirmation hearing, she also refused to say whether or not she thinks Americans have natural rights.
That is what Biden is all about.
I've said that over and over again.
You go back to the confirmation hearings of Clarence Thomas, and what he was upset about was the idea that Clarence Thomas believed that Americans have natural rights.
She doesn't believe that.
And that's exactly the kind of person that you would expect Biden to appoint, somebody who has nothing but contempt for the Bill of Rights and for the principles outlined in the Declaration of Independence.
It's all about it.
The fact that our rights come from God.
God-given rights.
Natural rights.
That's what that's about.
I'll never forget that.
I mean, we were...
Karen and I were traveling from Texas to visit relatives in Pennsylvania.
Kind of sounds like the beginning of I'll Be Home for Christmas.
Home for the holidays, yeah.
Traveling up to Pennsylvania.
But we went up and we came over and cut to the...
When we got to the...
To the mountains here.
We went from around this area all the way up on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
And I had a little Miata at the time and had a blast.
Karen got kind of carsick, but...
But I had a blast driving them out.
Nobody else.
It was a time of year where there wasn't any traffic.
So, just kind of up to, you know, whatever the tires could hold.
But anyway, as we're going, NPR had the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings playing live.
And I'm listening to them live.
And I just about drove off the road when I heard Joe Biden's contempt For natural rights.
This guy is one of the most authoritarian people we've ever had in government.
And I've talked about this before, how he has supported every abuse with tying it to the war on drugs and everything else.
He absolutely hates civil liberties, the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the concept of natural rights.
So it makes sense that she would refuse to say anything about natural rights.
She doesn't believe that a woman is a woman, and she doesn't believe that we are endowed by a creator with certain inalienable rights.
And she also, and this came out in the hearings, in 2012, she argued that child pornography is not as bad as the law makes it seem.
She let a lot of people off.
We're just a little bit of a wrist slap for child pornography.
This is a woman who is trying to take away one of the last taboos in our Sodom and Gomorrah culture.
Since taking her seat, she variously has argued that banning transgender drugs for kids is sex discrimination.
No, it's mutilation of minors.
It's sterilization of children.
How in the world can any person support this?
And we should not take any person who supports this seriously.
She supports child pornography, she supports mutilation of children, and she's celebrated by this alphabet mafia.
She insists that pregnant women are merely pregnant patients, and not necessarily women.
And she made the very odd claim that modern race-based election laws are justified because Congress made race-based laws to fix constitutional flaws for blacks after the Civil War.
And you thought that it was only Joe Biden who's checked out of reality.
It's everybody around him.
It's a big mob, a cartel, the Biden administration.
They all are completely detached from reality.
And so she said she took drama classes with Matt Damon at Harvard.
And she said her professor once praised her more than Matt Damon for a scene that they did together.
I was like, oh my, I was better than Matt Damon in a scene.
Lady, you should definitely go for this.
This is your thing.
Get out of the Supreme Court.
Go, please.
What else can we do to encourage you?
Maybe we could find some right-wing billionaire to finance a movie with her starring with Matt Damon again.
And Juliet has a modern take on the Shakespeare play that explores what could have happened next if Juliet had not ended her life over Romeo.
Well, I guess she becomes a trainee, then commits suicide, right?
In one scene, the character, Francois, is about to marry Juliet when he changes his mind and confesses his feelings for Juliet's non-binary friend, May.
May.
There you go.
Pat.
May is kind of...
I may be a woman.
I may be a man.
I don't know.
The Supreme Court currently has several big cases on its plate.
One of them is dealing where the state should be allowed to ban...
Sterilizing drugs that we used to only give to convicted rapists that they're now going to give to minors.
That's the Scrimetti case.
The lead in that was the Tennessee Attorney General because it was a Tennessee law that they passed to stop this.
Babylon Bee.
Pull that up.
Pull up the Babylon Bee.
It kind of does a riff on this.
Clarence Thomas wows audiences with a starring Roland Annie.
Spot on.
Broadway audiences were in for a real treat when Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas took the stage to star as Annie in a remake of the hit musical.
Theatergoers say that Thomas kept audiences on the edge of their seats for the two weeks the production ran, raking in nearly $120 million in ticket sales.
Thomas was impeccable.
His renditions of Tomorrow, and You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile...
Show the picture of him up there.
Left me in tears and almost made me forget about his evil decision to strip away abortion rights and turn America into The Handmaid's Tale.
I can die happy now.
Thomas left audiences and fans devastated by declaring that he had to go back to saving the U.S. one court case at a time.
At publishing time, the rest of the Supreme Court had voted 8-1 that Thomas was the best Broadway actor who was also a sitting Supreme Court justice.
Who has the other vote?
Who knows?
Well, there's something that's even more cringe from these clowns with the Democrat Party, and that is Lala Hilarious.
She's somebody who needs a new career.
Maybe she could try Broadway.
Well, it's not really her style.
She's more of a stand-up comedian, isn't she?
Or maybe a lay-down comedian.
I think that's...
She got where she is by laying down.
She delivered a speech to Prince George's Maryland students about her humiliating election loss.
Here is what she had to say.
The true test of our commitment is whether in the face of an obstacle do we throw up our hands?
Or do we roll up our sleeves?
Mmm, yeah.
And as we approach...
Oh, yeah.
Please applaud.
Please clap.
Well, I don't know.
You know, if your sleeves are loose enough, you can do both those things at one time, right?
Throw up your hands and roll up your sleeves at the same time.
And then she followed up with these words of wisdom.
And I ask you to remember the context in which you exist.
Yeah, I did that.
Uh-huh.
Well, I was a stand-up comedian.
Just try to pretend that you're some kind of a Buddhist guru or something, you know, that the nonsense that you're saying really has some meaning.
This is a woman who raised over a billion dollars and wound up $20 million in debt.
Well, when you look at what is happening in the Democrat Party, it's being described as a knife fight.
You know, success has many fathers, but failure is an orphan.
Except in the Democrat Party, because everybody gets the knives out to try to eviscerate the other people.
So, they've got Democrat donors saying that Lala's campaign was a circus of lies.
Oh yeah, of course.
It's a circus, and it's all about lies.
That's what you expect from her or from Biden.
Battle lines are now being drawn between West Coast liberals, Bernie Sanders socialists, and moderate technocrats in the Midwest who insist the party has completely lost touch with the average American voter.
There's one thing that all sides seemingly agree on, and that is that the current political establishment must be chased out of national politics for good.
And I would agree with that as well.
The people that are responsible for this Well, he's actually worse than grifters.
They're Marxist revolutionaries.
And of course, Marxist revolutionaries do make sure that they get all the money themselves.
So there's always a grift about that.
But he was actually talking about the campaign managers.
Very upset about that.
We were misled.
We were told that they had a chance.
It was winning in the polls and they had a chance and all the rest of this stuff.
They lied to us, he says.
Just a circus of lies.
They managed to blow through an unprecedented $1.5 billion in donor cash over the course of 15 weeks.
And then end up $20 million in debt.
Some of the things that they did, and I thought it was interesting.
Very first thing they thought about was one of the things that I thought was most amazing.
Spending a million dollars to light up that Vegas sphere with her face.
You talk about an ego project.
That was it.
So they lit that up, and I'm not sure how long they got that lit up for a million dollars.
Oh, it was a week.
Played a 90-second Harris campaign ad for a week and paid them a million dollars.
A million dollars put her face on the sphere in Las Vegas.
The ego...
Griped one Democrat mega-donor.
That's exactly what I said during the campaign.
I laughed at that.
I said, look at how she's won through money.
And of course, in addition to that, the $2.5 million that she gave Oprah Winfrey and more where that came from for celebrity endorsements, because that's all that mattered to her, celebrity endorsements.
Donations totaling $500,000 paid to Al Sharpton's National Action Network.
Harris was later treated to a softball interview on Sharpton's MSNBC show.
Well, there wasn't any other kind of interview that she would attend.
That was the other thing about it.
Anyway, this donor said, there's a lot of whispers, there's a lot of names about who got paid this and who got paid that, and a lot of people got rich on the back of donors who were trying to stop Trump.
Politics is fundamentally a grift.
Of Harris, he concluded, I think this disqualifies her forever.
Forever, he said.
If you can't run a campaign, you can't run America.
Because we've had a lot of people who've run a campaign, but they still can't run America.
And we shouldn't have anybody running America.
We shouldn't have a czar.
We shouldn't have a Caesar.
We shouldn't have an imperial president.
America wasn't designed to be run by one office or one administration or one group of people.
It's a very bad idea.
It's an un-American idea.
It's an unconstitutional idea.
She cannot be trusted with the money.
Who knew?
These people deserve to be fleeced.
That was one of the most obvious non-sequiturs there ever.
Ken Martin, the Minnesota party chair and frontrunner for the top DNC job, has called for a third-party audit of the entire Democrat Party infrastructure.
Do you realize that David Hogg is running for, I think, the number two slot, the DNC? I don't think he's got a chance.
Especially if you look at what these people are saying about the Lala crew.
I think you're looking at everything.
It's not just contracts and consultants.
It's not just ad spends and media buys.
It's A through Z, he said.
Harris insists that she's not going anywhere.
Well, that's true enough.
You're going nowhere, lady.
You got no future except probably to give her a talk show or, like I said, a comedy spot.
According to reports, she's been instructing advisors and allies to keep her options open.
She still has supporters, even amongst those vying to be the next chair of the DNC.
One described her four-month race as near perfect and nearly flawless.
Except she lost.
There's that thing, you know.
And the fact that she was afraid to go on and talk to people that were going to challenge her about anything.
La La, hilarious, whether she knows it or not, is the face of the party.
That's what's so funny about all of this stuff.
At a Kennedy Center awards ceremony in Washington, D.C. on Sunday, the President and First Lady were seated next to Lala.
And they did not acknowledge her presence or the presence of her husband.
They didn't even look in that direction.
Pretty obvious, isn't it?
Things are getting ugly.
Pelosi is reportedly working behind the scenes to sabotage Congresswoman's Alexandria occasional cortex bid to become a ranking member of the powerful House Oversight Committee.
And I can report that that has been successful.
Even with a broken hip, Pelosi can keep her from getting that position.
Outgoing ambassador to Japan, Rahm Emanuel, has in recent weeks been vocal in slamming his party for its elitism and focusing too much on woke notions and special interests instead of the average American.
Gavin Newsom threw a shovel full of dirt on Biden's political grave.
After he pardoned Hunter, Bernie Sanders has gotten in on the action, triggered an angry response from the establishment Democrats almost immediately after the election when he lamented Lala Hilarious' disastrous campaign.
He said, you've abandoned the working class.
You've abandoned the working class.
They're looting the treasury.
They're getting a tax cut out there.
Talk about abandoning the working class when you say that about a tax cut all the time.
And then finally, we have this Trump advisor, Alex Brusiewicz, 27 years old, collapsed on stage during speech at New York Young Republican Club Gala.
I don't know if he got the Trump shot or not or what the medical issue is.
But it was kind of funny, the response to it, because he's up there.
He collapses on stage.
They take him away.
People are concerned about it.
So the guy who is the emcee came back at a time and he says, yeah, he's doing fine.
He actually asked me, I hope I look cool when I fell.
He says, I talked to our friend Alex and you know what he said to me?
He goes, did I at least look cool?
I said to Alex, I said, you use gravity like I've never seen anybody use gravity before in their lives.
But he's recuperating back there.
So give him a big cheer so he can hear you.
But I thought that was a great line.
Soylent Goy says, Is this one of those women that encourages young girls to marry their cat?
It probably is.
Because, you know, that's where these people are.
The furry crowd that is out there.
We're going to take a quick break.
We'll be right back.
Hello, it's me, Volodymyr Zelensky.
I'm so tired of wearing these same t-shirts everywhere for years.
You'd think with all the billions I've skimmed off America, I could dress better.
And I could, if only David Knight would send me one of his beautiful grey MacGuffin hoodies or a new black t-shirt with the MacGuffin logo in blue.
But he told me to get lost.
Maybe one of you American suckers can buy me some at the davidknightshow.com.
And David is giving a 10% discount to listeners from now until 2025. At that price, you should be able to buy me several hundred.
Those amazing sand-colored microphone hoodies are so beautiful.
I'd wear something other than green military cosplay to my various galas and social events.
If you want to save on shipping, just put it in the next package of bombs and missiles coming from the USA. We're
Thank you.
Thank you.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
Well, welcome back.
When we look at where we are with the economy and the irrational exuberance, I think, about crypto that is happening in the honeymoon planning of the honeymoon period of President Trump, we've got meme coins out there, a lot of them, that are going really big.
One of them is called fart coin.
Yeah, that's right.
And it's ripping to new highs.
Is it the sign of a bubble?
Or of inflation?
I don't know, but fartcoin, they say, is totally useless.
Well, how do you distinguish that from any of the other crypto stuff?
I mean, what do you use any of it for?
You know, we talk about commodities that are rare that have historically been used as money, like gold and silver.
They do have other uses.
But, you know, whenever you try to, people try to do a physical representation of Bitcoin, for example, they always draw it as gold.
But, you know, there's a lot of talk about how they think that it's going to go up to $800 million this next week.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, not $800,000.
The cap for fart coin went up to $800 million.
The market cap.
In other words, all of the existing meme coins that are out there, all the, you know...
You would think that they would be able to use fart coin to, I don't know, control greenhouse gases or something.
Or maybe it could be the stock and trade of carbon taxes.
You pay them in fart coins.
Yeah.
That seems to make sense to me.
But they said that its market capitalization is $800 million, about equal to those of Office Depot, Guess Jeanswear, and the parent company of Steak and Shake.
So it's got a lot of investors in it.
There's many investors, really.
Much money invested in that is in Office Depot.
And the day after the article published, FARC coins' value seesawed back and forth.
It went down to $620 million.
Then it rose to a peak of $889 million before falling back to $836 million.
Just over the weekend.
The carnival casino era of cryptocurrencies is upon us.
As they said the other day, they said it's a Santa Claus rally.
And yeah, that's right.
Santa Claus doesn't exist.
Ha!
But it's kind of interesting, you know, we talked about Trump's pick for Treasury Secretary.
This is a guy who is, I don't know, I look at his background with Soros and how he was the key guy in the Soros team that broke the Bank of England and worked with Soros and all the rest of the stuff.
They say, well, it's just his economic work.
He's not politically allied with Soros, and yet he has been in the halls of globalist power and all this kind of stuff for quite some time.
But there are articles coming out, even Technocracy News, Has an article saying that, you know, perhaps there might be something there, even though he is talking about a global economic reordering.
And that's the key thing.
And the gist of this article that was from Daily Reckoning and posted up on Technocracy News...
The gist of the article is, hey, he's very bullish on gold and some other things like that, and statements that he's making seem to align with what conservatives want to see happening in this country.
And yet he's also talking about a global economic reordering.
And that's the thing that should concern us.
Look, I have no problem with people getting crypto.
A lot of people made a lot of money on it.
It may, you know, right now, I think it got up this last couple of days, it got up to 108. A thousand dollars per coin, and a lot of people are saying, like I told you I think yesterday, you know, eight hundred thousand, maybe a million dollars per coin.
So, you know, people have made a lot of money in it.
People may still make a lot of money in it.
And it may continue to go up in value, especially when you look at how the Trump administration, his cabinet, Are trying to move people into these virtual digital currencies.
And that's the thing that concerns me when they start talking about a global economic reordering.
I really do think that they're laying the foundation for this.
I think they're laying a precedent for this.
But it's a foundation in the same way that Trump created the vaccine, and then you come along with a Democrat who mandates it for people.
That's what concerns me about this, is the global economic reordering.
As Technocracy News says, a technocrat billionaire who talks about global economic reordering and about economic surgery.
Even as arch-technocrat Elon Musk talks about reordering government.
And he says, is the great reset just ahead?
Is the great taking just ahead?
As all these people are trying to securitize and tokenize everything that is out there.
Interestingly, Besant is a major gold bull, and that is from the Daily Reckoning.
Even though he has been an ally of Soros and profited from breaking the Bank of England along with Soros, he...
Has been managing his own hedge fund for quite some time.
A self-made multi-billionaire.
These people think that he represents a substantial upgrade from Janet Yellen, who doesn't really have any clue as to what's going on.
I think she decides what course of action she's going to do by taking mushrooms.
That's what she's doing in China.
Well, they said, Besson is a major gold bull.
I think we are in a long-term bull market in gold, he said.
We're seeing reserve accumulation by central banks.
I don't follow it closely.
It's my biggest position, he said.
He's a gold enthusiast for U.S. Treasury.
Well, what about that?
They said his pick by Trump, this is a guy who is an advocate of cutting government spending and deficits.
Besant has proposed what he calls a 333 economic plan for America.
It seems like I remember 999. What was his name?
It ran for president.
Anyway, 999. Flat tax and all the rest of the stuff.
Well, the Besant 333...
It says 3% annual real growth, 3% deficit to GDP max, 3 million additional barrels of oil per day.
Drill baby drill, right?
Well, again, we need to be able to use the oil, right?
And so, if you're going to use, if you're going to have real growth, You've got to have manufacturing.
And what's the point of getting the barrels of oil out per day if you can't use them?
I guess we can always sell them to China because they can burn as much oil and as much coal as they wish.
No limitations on them whatsoever.
If you don't address the Paris Climate Accord, nothing is going to change.
The Paris Climate Accord is more devastating than any advantage that China has.
And he does talk about that.
He says, look, you know, they have undervalued the yuan and they are distorting the world economy by favoring Chinese exports.
They had slave labor.
They had intellectual property theft, currency manipulation, all the rest of the stuff.
But now, more than all of those.
It's the fact that the Paris Climate Accord has essentially given them a monopoly on manufacturing goods because their energy is so much cheaper than the rest of the world.
And they're going to be allowed to continue to build energy capacity without cleaning up anything at all.
And we have to reduce ours.
If you don't get rid of the Paris Climate Accord, none of this stuff is going to happen.
But the Daily Reckoning says these goals offer a nice start.
If Trump can pull off all three, we'll be well on our way to long-term sustainability.
Besant sees China as America's prime competition.
Again, the undervaluation of their currency.
He said, Independence and dominance in the U.S. in a growth mindset.
We can get back to growth.
I feel very strongly that this is the last chance to grow our way out of this.
And as they point out, there's only so much the Treasury Secretary can do, but he could be a positive influence on Trump in terms of policy.
But again, my concern, and it's good that this guy is focused on gold, and he's actually, Trump has got an economic advisor who's openly advocating for return to the gold standard.
She's a big, she's like a, you know, believes in the Austrian School of Economics.
So there's some positive things there.
We'll see what happens.
And, you know, in the short term, I think the deregulation of crypto is the right thing to do.
I'm just concerned that there's so many people and some shady characters like Lucky Lutnik has been involved in stablecoin and all the rest of this stuff.
I'm concerned about this big push for tokenization.
Because derivatives like that, as much as they pat themselves on the back, those things are fundamentally fraud.
They're fraught.
It's what broke real estate back in 2007-2008, was this securitization.
And now BlackRock has got a division there that they're funding.
They even call it securitize.
They're not even trying to hide it.
And they want to make derivatives of everything, including Bitcoin.
Just like they've made derivatives of gold and silver, they want to make derivatives of Bitcoin as well.
In Florida...
They're talking about putting in a physical gold currency to be launched in Florida.
The rise of hard money.
Well, we'll see what happens with that.
There was an interview with the CEO of Goldback.
And, of course, Tony puts it in some of the Wise Wolf Pack things he puts out.
But you can get the...
Looks like a dollar bill, but it's actually got a small amount of gold in it.
So it actually has intrinsic value.
But of course, it's also, you have to get people to recognize that.
So part of this, a big part of this, is educating people about the value of cash, the value of privacy in your transactions, and all the rest of this.
And getting them to understand what these things are.
You know, the first time you see it, it's like, what is this?
You don't know what it is.
Once you know what it is, it's a good thing.
Well, there are three pillars that That hold up the economy, according to Charles Hugh Smith.
And according to him, all three of them have cracked.
All three pillars propping up the workforce spending are cracking.
He says, plan accordingly.
He said, Karl Marx and Henry Ford both understood the key pillar of an industrial economy, the workforce, has to earn enough money to buy the output of the economy.
Exactly.
He wanted to make sure that his employees, Henry Ford, could buy the car that he was producing.
And when you look at what these people are doing, and as they decide they're going to take jobs away from everybody, and all these different, who's going to buy their product?
Well, they don't want people to buy their product because they don't want people.
Marx recognized that capitalism is a self-liquidating system, as capital has the power to squeeze wages even as the output of an industrial economy steadily increases due to automation and technology.
Ford understood that if his own workforce couldn't afford to buy the cars rolling off the assembly line, that his ambition to sell a car to every household was unreachable.
He said if we say the three pillars holding up the economy, the conventional list is, number one, consumer spending, number two, productivity, number three, corporate profits.
But he says these aren't actually pillars.
They're actually outcomes of the core pillar, which is wage earners making enough money to buy the economy's output.
And so he said, when you look at this, he said there's three ways to fill this widening gap.
You can have the government distribute money.
Yeah, stimulus checks.
Hochul's already doing this again.
Oh, now we need to cut you a check because of, you know, inflation.
So now we, you know, we had a stimulus check with the COVID thing.
Now we're going to have, which was a government invention, right?
They invented that.
They pushed that program.
They did the harm.
Then they give you a stimulus check to get you pacified and reliant on government, dependent on government.
Same thing with this.
They create their inflation.
They do the harm.
They create the deficits and all the rest of this stuff, print the money.
And then they give you some of that printed money so that you feel better about it.
So you can either distribute money, you can have cheap, abundant credit, you can have asset bubbles, even fart coin.
These are intrinsic, unbreachable limits to each of these.
There are intrinsic, unbreachable limits to each of these solutions.
And we all know what those are.
Look...
I don't give investment advice.
I just know when I look at volatility and I look at people who are talking about how this is going to be the biggest change in the economic system since Richard Nixon was there.
And what happened there?
Well, we went off the gold standard and major changes with that.
They created the petrodollar.
Petrodollar has collapsed now.
And so this change is going to be forced upon them.
It was kicked off by Biden, but of course these people are going to continue it.
What is it that they want to put in place?
That's the question.
Is it going to become more stable?
But either way, whatever the government does, you have the opportunity to have wealth insurance with gold and silver.
You can have something that is private, something that is physical, out of their view.
To me, that is an important thing to have at least some of that, even if you're going to play the stock market and the Decline of the stock market, and it's got a long losing streak here, one of the longest ones it's had in decades.
I think a lot of that is that people are taking money out of the stock market and putting it into Bitcoin and crypto.
And it's kind of like that gambling casino mentality that's there.
So be careful about that.
If you want to get gold and silver, that is a very effective thing.
You can go to davidknight.gold and that'll take you to Tony Ardobin.
He can help you with that.
Large or small transactions.
And of course, Tony's got something that's kind of unique where you can gradually accumulate gold or silver.
And you can do it, take advantage of gradual accumulation, kind of average out your costs.
And you can sign up for a particular tier and get that amount each month, and you can get in and out of it whenever you want.
We're going to take a quick break, and we'll be right back.
That's right, boys and girls.
There's a post-election sale on silver and gold.
Trump euphoria has caused a dip in silver and gold.
It's time to buy some medals with fiat dollars before they come to their sense is.
Go to davidknight.gold to get in touch with the wise wolf himself, Tony Arterburn.
He knows where to look to find silver and gold.
Yark!
The Ot- Thank
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
you Welcome back.
I want to talk a little bit about some of the correspondence that we received, and I want to thank some of the people who have contributed to us.
I've gotten way behind in terms of reading the contributors on both Mail and on Zelle.
And we've updated the gauge today, and it is at a half, so we really do appreciate that.
Let me start with this from John W., And he's talking about how the healthcare industry changed around the early 1970s.
He said the investor meeting that Brian Thompson was on his way to would have never happened if the HMO Act of 1973 would not have been implemented.
The Hill-Burton Act of 1946 was a staple of American healthcare that built 7,000 hospitals from New York to California.
Hospitals were non-profits that were run and designed by doctors and no board of directors, insurance companies, or health maintenance companies.
Profit sharing was illegal because the nature of man is evil.
Well, that's very true.
You know, when we stop and think about it, go back even further before that.
We have so many different hospitals that have a Christian name in it, you know, like a Samaritan this or that, or it's a Baptist General Hospital, whatever.
most hospitals like schools used to be done by churches and local communities and things like that and they were they came together to solve a need just like um uh alexis de tocqueville talked about he said if there's a need for something need a library everybody just volunteers and comes together and does this or they have a volunteer fire department that spirit of america has
There would not have been these predatory corporations, and I'm not justifying the murder whatsoever, but there's no justification for the way that company, which was number four, I think, on the Fortune 500 list, making so much money and nobody even came close to them in terms of denial of claims that's one of the way that you can easy way to make money
you take people's uh money and tell them that you're going to give them insurance against emergencies and then when the emergencies happen you don't pay up kind of fraudulent isn't it uh also have this uh from uh and a listener who tells us that he is bereft of eyesight and he listens online
And, you know, each day, I say for the people who can't hear, we have on Rumble every day, we had somebody who requested that.
And so I've had a lot of people say, why do you put up the show a second time on Rumble?
Well, Travis puts closed captions on it.
So the people who can't hear, people who are deaf, can...
Read the closed caption.
So we put it up at a second time that way.
But he listens to podcasts, and he's got some software, which helps to define some of the things.
And he said he really liked the new commercials, the Wise Wolf Christmas one, the Zielinski-themed one.
And he said, I've procrastinated to write you about this because I don't wish to complain, but I have to admit...
The dynamically inserted adverts every three to five minutes truly disrupt continuity.
I'm not sure whether or not you know this, but he said they're literally interrupting words.
And that's the problem on the podcast thing.
And we're going to have a workaround for this.
Now, we do provide for people who have Subscribestar.
We give them a version of the podcast each day that doesn't have any commercials in it.
But we're going to set this up, and it's just trying to get everything together.
We have not been able to get this together yet, but we're going to set it up so that people have the option for five bucks a month.
You can get the podcast without any ads in it, or you can listen for free.
i've had other people complain about uh the automatic ad insertion which is unfortunate because um that it does that uh but um he said besides that he said um he said i like the other music uh from the christmas album presumably he said are all these instruments played live by different musicians this sounds like it is well thank you That's a compliment, because they're all played live by me.
And I've got software that lets me...
I play the individual instruments, not each and every violin.
For example, you might have first violins and second violins and the celli and the basses.
I play those individual parts, but it would be a section of 16 violins or whatever like that.
But yeah, they're my arrangements, and I play the instruments on there.
And he said he also likes the Jimmy Stewart ad for the Christmas album.
So I really do appreciate that.
And I want to thank people real quickly who have contributed on Zell.
And let me run through these names.
I'll go very quickly.
But folks, we need to...
We need to thank these people because they're the ones who make the show possible.
It's a small minority of listeners who actually make the show possible.
We don't read out the names each month of the people who are on Subscribestar, but that is a core base of it as well.
But these are people who have contributed on Zelle.
Your bank may or may not support that, but if it does, that is the most efficient way to support us other than sending something by mail.
We have a list of people who have sent in checks by mail.
You know, there's fees, understandably so, on all these other platforms, but Zelle does not have fees at the moment.
Austin M, Matthew F, Matthew S, Gregory I, Michael L, Ramon G, William W, Maurice W, Mitchell M, Joseph R, I
want to thank all these people.
That gets us up to about the first week of December.
And let me finish up with that to get up to the current time.
Linda M, Jared U, Adam D, Miraldo P, Alexander W, Kelly K, Manny D, Benjamin R, Matthew S, Susan S, a couple of people again that we already saw there, Brian P, Lois I, and Michael P. Thank you, all of you.
And some of those are extremely generous.
I really do appreciate that.
A couple of comments here.
We have Malutin Milankovic.
Please like and share the stream.
Thank you for reminding me to say that.
I always forget, and we always have listeners.
They're kind enough to remind me, tell people.
And 12 June, 1776. Thank you very much for the tip.
It says, page 236. Of the 1500-plus page, 34th Continual Spending Resolution.
And it is continual.
It's not continuous, but continuity of spending, right?
It's just like continuity of government.
It never goes away.
It just dropped.
And the House has House Data Office to bury and to quash by law all House electronic data.
Freedom of information.
Bye-bye.
Wow.
That's amazing.
Yeah, what was all that stuff about transparency and accountability?
They don't want any of that for them.
I can bet that it's just so underhanded.
And it is bipartisan.
And there's only a couple of Republicans that are against that.
And it ain't Mike Johnson, that's for sure.
Sprumford, I knew my new girlfriend was the one when she first told me that she knew who David Knight was.
Well, thank you very much.
I appreciate that.
That's great.
I appreciate that.
We're going to take a quick break, folks, and we'll be right back.
Hello, it's me, Volodymyr Zelensky.
I'm so tired of wearing these same t-shirts everywhere for years.
You'd think with all the billions I've skimmed off America, I could dress better.
And I could, if only David Knight would send me one of his beautiful gray MacGuffin hoodies or a new black t-shirt with the MacGuffin logo in blue.
But he told me to get lost.
Maybe one of you American suckers can buy me some at thedavidknightshow.com.
And David is giving a 10% discount to listeners from now until 2025.
At that price, you should be able to buy me several hundred those amazing sand-colored microphone hoodies are so beautiful.
I'd wear something other than green military cosplay to my various galas and social events.
If you want to save on shipping, just put it in the next package of bombs and missiles coming from the USA. All right, and I want to talk a little bit about an update to what happened with the shooter.
We now know the shooter's name and age.
Natalie Rupnow shot and killed a teacher and a fellow student, wounded six others at the Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin.
And as they start to look at motivation, they're looking at her social media posts.
They're looking at a purported manifesto of sorts, which is kind of like a diary.
Of complaints that she had.
And that turns out that she doesn't have the trainee demon.
She's got the Columbine demon.
That was what she was focused on.
Very much focused on these Columbine shooters and other shooters.
And following the same bands and wearing the same t-shirts that they did as a copycat killer.
So when you go back and look at what she was focused on, they said a post by her father shows her firing a gun at a shooting range.
Wearing the KMFDM t-shirt that you see pictured there.
So that's a picture of her that she put up on social media wearing that t-shirt.
And next to that is her wearing that same t-shirt as she's practicing on the firing range.
And those have been on social media.
In addition to the document that is circulating, they said they don't know about its authenticity, but some of the things that it said in there were later confirmed.
By the police.
So that lends itself to it being credible.
So what is this group?
KMFDM. Originally known as Kein Mehrheit für die Mitleid, I guess.
Maybe my best guess to pronounce it.
Loosely translates to No Pity for the Majority.
A rock man from Germany.
Well, it's kind of interesting, you know, because I remember if you go to some of the Christian critics, you know, people like Nishi and everything, he hated the idea that Christians had pity.
Should not have any pity for anybody, right?
And that kind of nihilism is at the heart of their songs and other things, and it is at the heart of her manifesto as well.
This kind of hatred and nihilism, self-hatred even.
Lyrics to some of the KMFDM songs, Son of a Gun, Stray Bullet, Waste, have been posted on the website of Eric Harris, one of the Columbine killers.
The band's album, Adios, was released on the same date as the mass shooting.
The band, KMFDM, published a statement, said, First and foremost, we would like to express our deep and heartfelt sympathy for the parents, families, and friends of the murdered and injured children in Littleton.
We are sick and appalled.
KMFDM are an art form, not a political party.
Well, the problem is that they can say that their music has been a statement against war, oppression, fascism, and violence, but why does it appeal to these other people?
And it's the same type of thing that you hear from Hollywood all the time, right?
Oh, well, we deplore gun violence, as they use gun violence everywhere in their movies.
Use guns irresponsibly.
You know, show people more and more explicitly being blown apart by firearms and that type of thing.
And then they say, we don't have anything to do with that.
Who would think that when you saturate people with images and music of violence and nihilism, that it would affect them?
And of course it does.
We have to have the wisdom.
We always think that we're not affected by advertising, don't we?
Oh, I'm not taken in by that.
Those Campbell's soup commercials that I see all the time, and you go to buy soup, and what do you do?
You go to buy Campbell's.
Or Jolly Green Giant, or whatever.
It might be silly, it might be preposterous, but your eye's going to be drawn to the brand names that you're familiar with.
You know, Jolly Green Giant or Mr. Clean or Campbell Superwhite.
That kind of stuff works.
And it's repetitive nature of it.
It is the normalizing of it.
It's the same type of thing that they're doing with the drone stuff, for example.
These kinds of psyops and manipulation.
And of course, seeing this kind of stuff...
Has an adulterating effect on our lives.
It really does.
You know, we talk about adultery.
What is that?
That's adulterated sex.
It's got contamination impurities in it, other things that spoil it.
And, you know, when we feast our eyes on all of this stuff and our ears, it adulterates our minds with violent, ugly, hideous things.
And we had to think about that.
We're actually told.
The Bible tells us.
Whatever is pure, think on those things.
Maybe you don't listen to the nihilistic, I guess it's heavy metal or whatever.
The alleged manifesto.
What we see is that the left always wants to ban guns and everything, and of course so does Biden.
But none of the things that he proposes, like a background check, We're not going to make any difference to that.
She's 15 years old.
She didn't get that gun with a background check.
And guns have not changed.
But what has changed are families and every other institution.
Whether it's entertainment of any sort, but it's also especially the families.
A reporter with the gender-critical news outlet Redux.info, which frequently breaks news about the transgender movement, published that the alleged manifesto did not have anything in there about her being transgender.
As I said, it appears to be genuine because even though it's rambling and incoherent, it did have some stuff in there that later was confirmed.
She titled it, A War Against Humanity.
They call it nihilistic.
But we already knew that.
And we could see from the very beginning, you know, what this stuff is about nihilism.
It was a nihilistic and despairing document.
Rupp now seems filled with anger at her parents who were divorced.
She refers to them as scum, claims that they did not want her, did not love her.
She writes that she had initially planned to commit suicide, but decided instead to perpetrate a school shooting because it was, quote, better for evolution rather than just one stupid, boring suicide, unquote.
Humanity is filth, and I don't like filth, nor want to live in it, nor should anyone else.
And I know it follows me, and how it has followed me, and will follow me, because of how the world is runned.
And that's the way she wrote it there.
No family to ever trust, and never trust society, she said.
This hatred of humanity really is satanic, but it really is demonic.
She said, my so-called family never included me because I was too weird for them.
My parents divorced quite a few times, which didn't help me at all, but it did really affect me.
It just made me a little lonely because nobody was there for me, and never really has been.
My mother tried overdosing when I was around 12 or something.
She returns again and again to her father, stating that, quote, he will never love me like he loved his ex or her kids or even alcohol.
But that doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter anymore because nobody heard me out and just made fun of me my entire life and I'm sick of it.
She spent a lot of time online researching mass killers on the internet.
She cites the guy in Finland who killed eight people in November 2007. Said, I was born two years after him.
Another killer, a neo-Nazi who stabbed five people outside of a mosque in Turkey earlier this year.
She called him an ultimate saint.
And then she talks about Vladislav Rosliakov who killed 20 people and wounded 67 in a shooting bomb attack in Crimea in 2018. The manifesto, they said, lacks any discernible overarching ideology.
Well, I think that's your ideology right there.
It's a satanic ideology that hates humanity, and unfortunately we see that in people like Bill Gates, who doesn't shoot and kill people with a gun, but he does it with needles.
You know, there's a hatred for humanity that manifests itself throughout Planned Parenthood and a lot of what the left does.
She comes off as a bitter lost soul who turned to the internet and found herself inspired by figures who were representative of hatred.
As LifeSite News finishes up, they said, now she's dead and has left behind her only grief.
Well, on the other side of this, World Magazine has an article about a book.
It's called Get Married by Brad Wilcox.
And they said it busts today's anti-marriage myths.
They said it's one of the 2024 books of the year, according to them, in general nonfiction.
It is, they said, a rigorous defense of family life.
Consider this.
You know, we look at the different generations.
And, of course, these generations, when we talk about silent generation, these are terms that were coined by Strauss and Howe.
The book that immediately preceded the fourth turning was called Generations.
And so he talked about the silent generation and generation X and Y and Z. Millennials, they coined that term as well.
81% of the silent generation were married between the ages of 23 and 38. That number dropped to 53% for Generation X. And in 2020, for millennials, it was only 44%.
From 81% to 44% people getting married between the ages of 23 and 38. That those numbers represent a social revolution is obvious.
That they also have led to a marked decline in well-being for adults, children, and society itself, is what this book is about.
Get Married goes strongly against the grain of a culture that tells young people to remain single as long as possible.
The author's strong defense of the Foundational Institute of Civilization, Families.
At a time when that institution is eroding.
It makes Get Married World's 2024 Book of the Year in general nonfiction category.
Wilcox punctures certain myths about marriage that our culture has conditioned young people to think of as intuitive.
And they have the power to do that with media entertainment in schools.
They are the ones who hold our children's minds in their hands.
And they're destroying them if we let them do that.
To be counterculture, you're going to have to counter that culture.
You're going to have to counter those voices that are constantly screaming nihilistic hatred of themselves and each other.
Nihilistic hatred of families and children.
Telling people the exact opposite of what is good for them.
To the idea that men and women will be better off if they remain single.
The flying solo myth.
Wilcox shows that married men and women are happier, less lonely, and wealthier than the unmarried.
And it's often because they are married.
To the idea that marriage isn't important for the flourishing of children.
The so-called family diversity myth.
He points to data showing that children from intact families have fewer problems in school.
Are less likely to be abused.
Are less likely to go to prison as adults.
Less likely maybe to shoot their classmates.
points.
Wilcox shows that the happiest Americans are those who are married with children.
Married with children.
Take that, Fox.
You know, they used that stupid sitcom to denigrate families and children.
Beyond getting married, he outlines the countercultural beliefs and practices that can make couples more likely to remain married.
He says there's four different groups that are doing pretty well at this.
Asian Americans, conservatives, faithful Christians, and a group he calls strivers.
And so, to wrap this up, because we have Catherine Austin Fitz is ready, and I really want to talk to her about what she sees coming up this next year, about her take on money and the rest of this.
But he says he's encouraged by an idea that's put forward by J.D. Vance to eliminate the marriage penalty in the earned income tax credit and pay for it by ending the credits for electric vehicles.
How about that?
What a...
Let's stop honoring electric vehicles and honor families.
That would be an interesting change.
He says there's some big problem areas for young Americans, a dating culture that fails to steer them towards marriage, a lack of maturity among young men, and a radically progressive view of marriage among young women.
The rise of Andrew Tate and similar podcast voices is especially alarming, he said.
The left has been articulating for a long time messages that are anti-marriage to women.
And we see this.
Women now are less likely to want to get married, less likely to want to have kids than men are.
Less likely to attend a Christian church or something like that as well.
But he said now we're starting to see this rise, this message being shifted toward men as well.
They want us at war with each other.
This is not a battle of the sexes.
This is a total divorce from reality and the blessings of God.
We're going to take a quick break, folks, and we will be right back.
I wish I had the Christmas Night album.

Wow.
Joining us now is Katherine Austin-Fitts.
Always a pleasure to have her.
Of course, her website is Solari.com.
Always a pleasure to have her here.
Keen insights about everything.
And of course, coming up, we're going to talk about hijacking Bitcoin.
And Roger Ver, as we all know, people call him Bitcoin Jesus.
And we look at the way that they have railroaded him.
But he also wrote about Hijacking Bitcoin.
When I had Aaron Day on, we mentioned it a little bit, but Catherine has gone into a great depth with that.
They did a review of the book, and she's now published her interview with him that you can find on slurry.com.
It's with Steve Patterson, who's the co-author.
Oh, okay, that's right.
So the interview...
Vera's got a bit of a problem now, I guess, doing interviews with the government on his back, and I don't know if he's in prison now or not.
So we did an interview with Steve, and it's excellent.
I mean, if you really want to understand what's going on in Bitcoin, it's absolutely excellent.
And we made it public because this was one that the subscribers wanted to send on to their network.
Oh, that's great.
So if it's public, just come to Solari, and you can get the book review.
You can get a link to an article I wrote on why the Bitcoin reserve fraud is a scam, basically.
And you can get the interview and send all of those on.
So if you want to understand sort of the current baseball on Bitcoin, it's all there.
And we're going to talk a little bit about that.
I want to get your take on what's going on with crypto and the new Trump administration, where this is all headed, the tokenization, the securitization that is out there.
And we want to talk about that.
But when I got you on, I'd just been talking about marriage and family and how that is all unraveling here in America.
And you said, I'd like to say something about what I've observed with men and women in various fields that you've worked in.
Tell us a little bit about that.
So, I'm really glad you brought this up because I think there is nothing more important.
The way control is instituted is through divide and conquer.
And the most important divide and conquer is turning men and women against each other.
Yes.
You know, and then it's turning the generations against each other.
And if we can turn that around...
You know, we dramatically, exponentially increase our power, and I think that's part of what I was hearing you saying is your understanding of that.
But I wanted to tell you sort of my background.
So many years ago when I went to my first few years of college and then I studied Chinese in Hong Kong for a year, and I came back as a transfer student to the University of Pennsylvania and got a job working first as a busboy, then as a waitress, and then I got promoted up to be a bartender.
And it was in a French restaurant next to the University of Pennsylvania.
And it was a two-person bar.
And my tips and gross were so much bigger than everybody else's that the owner of the restaurant, who was very meritocratic, I was the only woman, he decided to make me bar manager because whatever I was doing, it made a lot more money for the house.
Anyway, so the bartenders went on strike because they didn't want to work for a woman.
And so they went to the owner, who was a very interesting guy, and they said, we're going to strike.
And he said, it's not my problem.
She's the bar manager.
Go tell her.
It's her problem.
So they came to see me, and I said, why are you going to strike?
They said, we don't want to work for you because we think you're going to feminize the bar.
And I said, well, I am, but you're going to make a lot more money.
So, you know, so anyway, long and short of it, everybody stayed except for the...
For the strike leader.
And so for the next two months, I made the changes that I wanted to make.
But one of my rules was there had to be a man and a woman.
It was a two-person bar and you had to have a man and a woman.
Anyway, but sometimes we, you know, we couldn't get a man, we couldn't get a woman.
So sometimes we'd end up with two women, sometimes we'd end up with two men.
But I have very detailed records of how the bar performed and how the fits performed.
So here's what we learned after, you know, about six months.
If I had two women, if I had two men on the bar, the house made X and the bartenders made 10% of that.
So.1X. Okay?
Mm-hmm.
If I had two women, the house made 1.5x and the bartenders made 0.15x.
They're 50% better two women than two men.
If I had a man and a woman, the house made 2x and the bartenders made 0.2x.
So literally, if you were a man and I put you on with another man, you made half as much that evening as if I put you on with another woman.
Hmm.
I mean, literally.
And it was very interesting.
Two months later, I was down in the wine cellar doing the wine order, and the former deputy strike leader came down screaming at me.
It was a Thursday night, which is our biggest night.
How dare you put me on with another man?
You're going to cut my tips in half.
And I looked at him and I said, I couldn't get another one.
I just couldn't get another woman.
But do you see the irony in this?
Yeah.
Well, what do you think was behind that?
Well, let me keep going.
So, many years later, when I started Hamilton Securities, it was an investment bank in Washington.
And one of the things we did, we thought with new technology, we could radically reduce the number...
Of people that it took to bank and market a deal.
And we literally had two people running each deal.
So go back to the James Bond movies.
One was the James Bond person who was going to do the deal.
The other was the Q person who was going to build and capture all the tools, right?
You needed a tool and software and intellectual capital engineer, and then you needed a deal doer.
So we always had two people who were kind of running the deal.
So I kept the same records on, and we had a rule that unless we could make 10 times for the client what we could make for ourselves, you know, we didn't want to do the deal.
So we felt we needed to get at least a multiple of 10. Anyway, so we tracked what the client made and we tracked what we would make.
Well, it turned out to be almost the same as the bar business with a twist.
So if I had two women on the deal, the client would make 10x and we'd make x.
If I had two men, the client would make 15x and we'd make 1.5x.
So it was the opposite of the bar business.
Men were better At transactions than client customer service, you know, in the bar.
So when it came to relationships, it appeared that women were better.
When it came to deals, men were better.
But if I had a man and a woman, then the client made 20x and we made 2x.
So it was the same thing.
Now, here was the interesting thing.
Both initially at the bar and certainly at the investment bank, the men always wanted to work with other men and the women always wanted to work with other women.
So I had to be a dictator.
It's like, no, you're going to go get a man or you'll be fired.
That's how it is.
But here's what I saw.
And it wasn't sexual so much as energetic.
There is something, you know, men and women are very different.
And I don't know if you remember that Mel Gibson movie where he says, yeah, women have 5% more water.
But, you know, whatever the difference is, if you're going to deal in a human situation and, you know, a big business situation with what's going on, You know, a man and a woman team are going to know more, see more, understand more.
They're going to see things that the woman, you know, the man's going to see things the woman won't see, the woman's going to see things.
And what you realize in a family, you know, after going through those two experiences, I realized, you know, trying to have a family with two men or a family with two women is just not the same.
Mm-hmm.
There is a wholeness in terms of seeing the world, understanding the world, managing risk, understanding, you know, a lot of times in my experience as an investment advisor, the women understood the living equity issues and the men understood the financial equity issues and you needed both.
You know, to integrate and do both.
The other thing I discovered, I saw it was financial fraud because I had so many jobs sort of cleaning couples up who'd been hurt by financial fraud or healthcare fraud.
What I discovered is I can trick a man or I can trick a woman, but it is almost impossible to trick a man and woman working together.
I used to have so many women who would tell me, look, my husband does the finances.
I don't want to be involved.
I don't like it.
And I would say, no, you have to be involved.
You have to be involved because the family has to integrate the financial equity issues with the living equity issues.
But the other thing is, he's going to get tricked.
You know, he's going to get tricked, and it's going to be your fault.
So you get involved, because you need both.
That's right.
You know, at the end of the day, I can't explain it.
What I will tell you is there's a magic.
There's a magic to it that is...
Really divine.
Well, yeah, exactly.
A lot of people call it complementarianism, right?
The fact that men and women complement each other, and they're in complementary roles, and we complete each other, and we have different perspectives, and we perceive things very differently, which is what you saw with all of that.
Right, but it is real easy to...
To back up and say, oh, it's too much work to work with a guy, I'm just going to get another woman, it'll be so easy, and there'll be a lot less controversy.
Yeah.
That's a really fascinating insight.
That's amazing.
Let's talk a little bit.
Where would you like to go next?
I mean, I would like to talk about the Bitcoin stuff, but is there anything else?
Yeah, so let's talk about the Bitcoin stuff, because I've had an interesting history.
I worked very hard in 2017. I did a very serious due diligence as an investment advisor.
My clients kept asking me about Bitcoin, and I said, okay.
And I called up a very dear friend of mine who has a PhD from MIT and used to run research at one of the big Silicon Valley companies.
And he's the smartest guy I know.
And I said, I need your help.
I need to do a serious due diligence on this, and I need somebody with a strong technology background.
So we spent like a hundred hours working on this.
He did a hundred, because we did a lot of research separate, and then we'd come together.
And finally, I really felt like I understood, but I took all my final questions, and I flew to Baltimore and had a three-hour lunch with Bill Binney, and just grilled him on all my questions.
And I came away feeling I had a very good understanding of Bitcoin.
And anyway, but since then, every time I talk to somebody who's a Bitcoin enthusiast, they say, you don't understand Bitcoin.
And I say, well, what aspect is it you think I don't understand?
Is it I don't understand the exchanges and how they work?
I don't understand the custodian issues.
I don't understand the technology.
I don't understand, you know, how the market works.
I don't understand the regular.
What specifically is it you think I don't understand?
And what I discover is I don't understand the religious faith that comes with me.
You're a Bitcoin denier.
You're a denier.
No, it's like a religion, and I don't get the religion.
And you're right, I don't get the religion.
Anyway, so this has gone on for years with people telling me I don't get Bitcoin, but they won't be specific about what that means or what I might read or study that would educate me some more.
Anyway, but one of our subscribers posted on Solari a couple months ago, you've got to read this new book, Hijacking Bitcoin, by Roger Ver and Steve Patterson.
And so...
Our subscribers usually have very good intelligence and very good recommendations.
So I immediately got the book, read it.
You know, and I cannot say enough good things about this book.
It is so beautifully written.
It is so clear and coherent.
It's very rare to read a book I found on Bitcoin or crypto that's really coherent and accessible to a financial professional who's not a technologist.
Anyway.
Darrell Bock Let me interject here and say, you know, it's interesting because you're talking about Roger Ver and they call him Bitcoin Jesus because he was an evangelist for it.
I mean, we're talking about the religious aspect of it and everything.
So, you know, where is he now?
Has he lost his faith or has it been strengthened and all of this stuff?
So here's, and I have to tell you, I'm very impressed with Roger and his work, and Steve and his work.
And, you know, Bitcoin started out as a design that, when it began, it was really a pilot program for a global payment system that had potential.
It had potential to turn into something pretty wonderful.
But it didn't.
It literally got hijacked.
If you look at the who controls Bitcoin, it's a very small group of people.
And they were able to limit its liquidity in a way that made it very useful for pumping and dumping.
It's very useful for speculation, but it's not useful as a payment system.
It's very, very illiquid.
And of course, it's still an immature industry.
So if you look at the custodial issues, And the fraud issues, you know, it's a very unregulated sort of wild west market.
The FBI says 5.6 billion reported losses in crypto reported to them in 2023. I had a listener who said, yeah, it reminds me very much of the NFT stuff.
Right?
You know, when they were selling NFTs.
And that's kind of what I think they did with Bitcoin in a sense.
They took something that was designed to be a currency and they started turning it into essentially an NFT. Well, they've been playing a pump and dump game with it.
And there's a lot of serious talent and money behind that pump and dump.
And anyway, so I read Hijacking Bitcoin and I wrote a review of it.
If you just go to Solari, you can get that.
And I just did an interview, which we published yesterday, with Steve Patterson.
It really helps you understand sort of the evolution.
Now, what happened to Roger, he saw the potential.
And one of the delightful things about this book is it took me back to when I was at Hamilton Securities and I realized the potential for digital money and creating our own currencies.
I got really excited and we invented a product called Just-in-Time Money.
And I remember those days when we just thought, And I tell this story in the book review.
Eric Hughes was the software developer who hacked Clipper Chip, which was Al Gore's thing to control the internet.
And anyway, so Eric came to Hamilton, and Eric and I spent a whole day with literally the whole firm working on inventing just-in-time money.
And it was so heady because we saw the potential for what decentralized, you know, something like a cryptocurrency could be.
Anyway, and when you read Roger and Steve's book, you get back that enthusiasm of what is theoretically possible.
It's easy after you've watched the pumping and dumping and the tremendous crime around these things that are going on, and all the lies and disinformation.
It's easy to get jaundiced, and I love the fact that sort of Roger and Steve got me back in that mood of, you know...
You know, there's a new world possible.
There really is.
Anyway, so what happened was, this book makes very clear something else.
And it's very highly documented, very heavily footnoted.
It's a very serious treatment.
I am absolutely sure that there is significant counterfeiting of Bitcoin.
You know, part of the power of Bitcoin was supposed to be you could only create 21 million.
But now, what Roger documents, Roger and Steve document the creation, it's called an inflation bug.
And now they're reports, not just of the one they reported, but of inflation bugs since.
I'm absolutely convinced with the inflation bugs they can counterfeit, but now that they're doing the ETFs with BlackRock, you know, I did a deep dive on precious metal ETFs.
Let me tell you, the counterfeiting was real.
Oh, yeah.
The financial system we have does collateral fraud every time they have a chance.
It's kind of like not asking a dog to go eat meat.
They just do it every time.
It's like they've even got their company to call it Securitize.
They were securitizing things and creating derivatives.
And, of course, when you talk about derivatives of gold and silver, things like paper gold and paper silver, which I didn't really understand.
Naively, everybody thinks, well, they've got some gold, and they're now going to sell it to you the tenth of the price or whatever.
I didn't realize that that was a derivative.
You started seeing changes in the price of gold, and you could see that...
That it didn't track the spot price of gold.
It was completely divorced from it.
And so that was a key tip.
And then all my research is like, oh, now I get it.
It's another derivative.
Here we go.
So this book makes very clear that the official story on Bitcoin is not true.
You know, what you've got is you've got a pump and dump tool.
It has no fundamental utilitarian purpose other than it's a pump and dump tool.
And, of course, with a pump and dump tool, if you have enough backing for it, you can make a fortune.
You know, and people have been.
But also that it's not limited to 21 million Bitcoin.
Now, they don't come out and say that in document, but based on what they...
What I've read about inflation bugs in their book and since and what I know about ETFs, the counterfeiting is on.
So Bitcoin is basically a speculation and it's rooted in nothing other than the belief that you can get 10 more people to come in tomorrow and buy in.
Ponzi scheme.
It's basically a tool of bulb mania.
And it would have some value if it was a successful global payment system, but it's never become that.
And it's highly unlikely that it's going to become that.
So this thing is only as good as sort of the scam.
Now, let's go back.
If you look at what's going on in the economy, David, here's what's going on in the economy.
We did a tremendous amount of work this year on plunder capitalism and land grabs, and the techniques used to do land grabs.
Now, we've spent decades now creating more and more debt, more and more debt, more and more debt, more and more paper.
The game of musical chairs is over, the music has stopped, and now everybody's racing to grab the real assets.
Okay?
And that's, now, if you want the real assets, who's got the real assets?
Howard Lutkin just gave an interview, you know, as the nominee for Secretary of Commerce and had been in competition for Secretary of Treasury, where he said, don't worry about the debt.
You know, the debt's $36 trillion.
The U.S. balance sheet has $100.
Five hundred trillion dollars of land and mineral resources.
And that's true, okay?
And in fact, in the last Trump administration, the U.S. Geological Survey started doing a survey of all the land and mineral resources of North America, including what the government owns.
And if you look at the state governments, I mean the federal government owns a lot and the states own a lot too.
So if you're sitting here and you've run up the Bitcoin market, you have a small number of people who have a tremendous amount of Bitcoin.
They can't possibly get out at the current situation.
You know, they can't get their money out without crashing the market.
Now, what do they want?
They want real assets.
So what you want to do is you want to swap your Bitcoin for land, for real estate, for precious metals, for real businesses.
You want real assets.
So how do you get out of your Bitcoin and get into the real assets?
Well, it's real simple.
You get the government to buy your Bitcoin and you get the government to sell its land, right?
Pretty simple.
So you want them to get, they have the real and you have the unreal.
So you flip them the unreal and you get the real.
So what's being proposed?
What's being proposed is the government announce long-term buying programs to buy Bitcoin.
So the federal government by Bitcoin, the states by Bitcoin, if you announce a long-term buying program in a highly illiquid market, you're going to send the price to the moon, and all the guys who started and built this speculation can sell into that.
Okay?
And not only can they sell their 21 million Bitcoin, they can sell more than their 21 million Bitcoin, right?
Right?
Because there's counterfeit.
Okay.
You've got to be careful that you're not their exit strategy, right?
Get into this thing.
And where's the government going to get that money?
All the people who don't want to go into the marketplace and want to buy Bitcoin, the government is going to sell bonds to their retirement funds.
The money is going to come out of their retirement funds and go into Bitcoin, you know, held in the treasury, the state or federal government treasury.
So you're going to take from the poor and give to the rich, or you're going to take from the middle class and give to the rich.
Yeah.
Now, if the oil industry said we want the government to start long-term buying of our oil, or the agriculture industry said we want long-term buying of our agriculture, or the pharmaceuticals said we want the government long-term buying of our pharmaceuticals, we would all know what that's about, right?
Yeah.
But for some reason, when the Bitcoin enthusiasts say, the vast majority of people don't want to buy our Bitcoin, so we want to have government mandate to make them buy our Bitcoin with their retirement savings?
That's about as ugly as it gets.
And it's very ugly because if you look at how much money those guys poured into donations, they're basically saying, we can bribe the politicians and get them to use your retirement savings to buy Bitcoin because you won't.
You won't buy it.
So we're going to make you buy it.
H.L. Mencken said, an election is an advanced auction of stolen goods.
I quote that all the time, and that is really what we're looking at here, isn't it?
But let's look at a chart.
I want you to go back to the going direct reset, which was reviewed by the central bankers in August of 2019. If we do a chart of the U.S. stock market, what we see is the U.S. stock market is up over 100% since that date.
And the treasury, if we take the 20-year treasury ETF, it's down by 35%.
So what's the game?
The game is the government treasury sells treasury bonds to our retirement funds and our IRAs and 401ks and retirement funds around the world.
And then it takes that money and it spends that money, it gives that money to Elon Musk to do SpaceX.
Right.
Or it gives that money, you know, the Chinese are subsidizing Tesla.
Or it gives that money to, you know, to invest in tremendous amounts of AI. Or the CHIP Act, tremendous money to drive, you know, Taiwan Semiconductor.
So all the guys who are getting that money out of our retirement fund are getting huge up in their companies while we're...
We're going down 35% financing the game.
Now, if you think it's bad in the stock market, because all that stuff for the most part is real, you may disagree with how it's priced or how it's organized, but it's real railroads, real satellites flying around, real chips being put into computers.
And so you're still financing something that has to do with the integration of technology and productive activities.
If you take this and buy those guys out of their scam, And they're free to turn around and buy the land and other real estate.
So if you look at some of the trial balloons, RFK at Bitcoin 2024 proposed that the sales of Bitcoin should be tax-free and secret.
So the Treasury is buying it, but they're not saying who they're buying it from.
It's secret, and the people who are selling it don't have to pay taxes if they roll it into real estate.
How did he justify making it secret?
What did he say to justify that?
I had not seen that before, but yeah, why would he justify that?
I finally wrote a commentary up and I said, this is so outrageous, I'm not going to even send it to him, I'm just going to write it and publish it.
But I sent it to him and his advisors and said, you know what...
This is a take from the poor and give to the rich scheme.
The worst take from the poor and give to the rich scheme I've ever seen.
And what are you leaving the governments with?
Instead of having 500 trillion of land and mineral resources, they end up with a bunch of Bitcoin.
What are they going to do with that?
It's worthless.
It's going to be worthless.
Yeah, one of the things that bothers me about all this stuff, too, of course, is tokenization.
And, you know, you're talking about the Bitcoin swap out for real assets and land and things like that.
And I call Howard Lutnick, I call him Lucky Lutnick.
Laughter He got real lucky on 9-11, you know, but he's all about tokenization.
He's like the tokenization king.
And I'm very concerned about, you know, it's great if you get, I think the government under Biden was coming directly at him, going to just prohibit it in their face.
I'm concerned about what is happening with the Trump administration, as you're pointing out, you know, this one aspect of it here, which is very key, which is a switching out of assets, but it's also the privacy.
And I know you're about financial privacy and the importance of cash and things like that.
All this fascination with blockchain exposes all of that.
And so that's another aspect of it.
Well, it sets up a two-tier system where everything we do is public and everything, you know, there's a second system that's totally private.
Yes, yes.
Right.
And increasingly, it's that way with government all the time.
And they've just, as part of this continuing resolution thing, as the listener pointed out, they've got a clause in there to hide data that is being passed around within various committees and things like that within the House.
So, again, they're always trying to hide what they do and have more information about what you're doing.
So, let's look at a couple of key strategic points.
So, the first thing they need if they're going to get financial control is they need a digital ID. And Trump has been promoting a digital ID, and the conservatives and Trump together have You know, they use immigration and election fraud as an excuse for digital.
We do not need a digital ID system.
We had honest elections and we had tight borders before digital technology existed.
So I don't want to hear, you know, that's a bunch of hooey.
So, you know, but they're using that as an excuse.
And I just saw one of the business newsletters I get said that Congress will start off by doing, addressing election fraud and immigration right off the bat.
And my fear is that's an excuse.
To do a digital ID. Now, you have the states pushing the real ID. They've been trying to push the real ID ever since 9-11, but it's been going slow with the states, and we need to do everything we can.
You know, if I was a state legislator, I'd just get the real ID thrown out of the DMV, and we need to do that.
And now the GSA's going to be pretty much demanding that.
They said this next year.
We'll see what happens with that.
If you have a passport, they can't demand a real ID. You have a passport.
Mm-hmm.
But they're also setting up their biometric thing, and that's one of the things when Trump is talking about digital ID, yeah, air, land, and sea, and it's going to be biometric.
I mean, it's very concerning.
We saw DeSantis in Florida and the rest of them saying, we've got to have mandatory E-Verify because of immigration and illegals taking people's jobs.
It's not true.
Yeah.
You know, it's absolutely not true.
So the first thing is you've got to stop a digital ID. The second thing you've got to stop is an all-digital monetary system.
Because if you have a digital ID and an all-digital monetary system, then we're saying, okay, then we can control where you go, what you buy...
Mm-hmm.
And we can institute taxation without representation.
Then the third thing we need to stop is what we want is we want the people's representatives to control and operate fiscal policy.
We don't want the central bankers controlling fiscal policy in addition to monetary policy.
The rise of the deep state correlates almost perfectly with the rise of private corporations and banks doing government operations.
The idea that somehow Doge is going to go in there, fire all the civil servants, and put in big tech contractors and things are going to get better?
No, it's the opposite.
If you finish getting rid of the civil service, you will end up with the central banks and intelligence agencies controlling and running everything because that's who the corporations and the defense contractors and the big tech companies are going to report to.
They're not going to report to Congress.
You know, Congress is, you know, that's game over.
So those are the three...
That's a really good point.
That's a really good point about Doge.
Yeah, that's very important.
Right.
So those are the three things.
You want to preserve the legislature's controlling fiscal policy.
You want to stop an all-digital monetary system.
And you don't want to let a digital ID take effect.
Because if you get those three things, boom, boom, boom, boom, then we're talking about living in a digital concentration camp in a slavery system.
Yeah, that's absolutely right.
It's that simple.
And they came out and said, you know, before the election, a few months before the election, we're not going to do CBDC, the Five Eyes states, countries.
You can do it with credit cards and crypto.
Yeah, they can do it with these pieces, and a lot of that is already in place with MasterCard.
What you want to stop is an all-digital monetary system.
Yes.
An all-digital monetary system.
Forget all these different products in the digital realm, all of which could be wonderful or terrible, depending on how you do them.
Technology, in a way, is agnostic.
It's how we use it.
So all these things could be wonderful or they could be terrible.
What we cannot afford is an all-digital system because it will be controlled by the people who control the hardware.
That's right.
Yeah.
You know, I'm seeing a lot of states got on board a couple of years ago.
They were talking about it very heavily, CBDC. And so you've got a lot of different states that are putting out stuff still to say, we're not going to have CBDC. They just rename it and it morphs into something completely.
You know, they just spin it a little bit and you still get.
But the essence that you're talking about there.
There's a digital ID and the fact that we have digital cash.
That's what they need to be focused on.
The CBDC, they realize, because they watch conversations on social media, they realize that we're on to that game.
So they spin that game in a different way and come around in a different angle.
So I want everybody to go to Solari, and we have a big new memo that we published.
It's up in PDF. You can download it.
You can forward it.
You can link to it.
It's called What the States Can Do, Building a Legal and Financial Infrastructure for Financial Freedom.
It's a very serious look at all the different areas that a governor or state legislature can implement to protect financial freedom within their jurisdiction, so that no matter what the guys in Basel, Switzerland, or what the guys in Washington or Wall Street do, you can have financial freedom within your state.
And the beauty of the states, as you know, is they, under the Constitution, the powers not delegated to the federal government are reserved to the states.
The states have the power to protect our financial freedom in a way that protects our governmental and individual sovereignty.
And that was, the Solarii team's been working night and day for two years to figure out, working with different legislators and state leaders, how to do this.
And that information is up.
I encourage you to download, read it, send it to all the legislators.
There's so many great things that can be done and for everything we cover, David, we give you links and citations to the states that have either done it or proposed it so you can find your counterparties around the country who are working on this because there's a lot of Good coordination between the treasurers, the AGs, and the different state legislators.
You know, it's almost like by 2022 we figured, okay, we've got to do this.
You know, we're on our own.
We've got to do this.
That's right.
And that is important, and that's a big, I mean, there's things that we can do as individuals, and I'll ask you about that in a second, but it's very important that we fight them at that level as well.
You have information besides the people who are on that board, you know, information on a state-by-state level as to people who are open to this type of thing as well?
Yeah, so get in the game.
We found that a fair amount of our subscribers were reticent to contact or communicate.
They didn't know their state senator.
They didn't know their state representative.
We kept saying, hey, listen, those are the most important elections this year, so get in the game.
Get involved.
But right beneath what the states can do, the PDF, we have another PDF called Working With Your State Legislators.
It's a guide to if you feel, you know, I don't know what to do.
I don't know how to get to know them.
I don't know, you know, that's a guide for you to get to know, help you get to know your state legislators and know sort of how to get into the process and how to get yourself acclimated.
So that's there as a resource, too.
I also want to mention we've announced...
We're going to take one of the briefings I do in Ask Catherine and the Solaria team and do a briefing in the second Thursday of every month.
We're reserving that time to brief state legislators and the first briefing is on January 9th on Thursday.
It's for state legislators, state officials and their staff and state bankers if they want to invite the state bankers with them and of course the subscriber who arranges it is invited as well and And that's the first one in January 9th is going to be on the Bitcoin reserve scam.
And we have a lot of state legislators who are receiving, they're getting AstroTurf emails.
And so they need to understand what is this?
How does it work?
Is it a good idea?
Is it not a good idea?
If it's not a good idea, why and how do I explain it to my constituents who think it is a good idea?
And that's key because, you know, January 9th, you're going to do that.
January 21st, when Trump says, first day, we're going to do a Bitcoin reserve.
Very first day.
So it's important for people to understand what that is before that.
So he doesn't have the legal authority to do a Bitcoin reserve.
What he can do is the marshal's Department of Justice has seized 200,000 Bitcoins or 210,000 Bitcoins.
And I'm assuming they're holding those in the asset forfeiture fund.
He, in theory, could say, I'm moving them to Treasury.
I'm not sure how he does that without an appropriation.
But he certainly has those $210,000, and he can say, I'm not going to sell them.
And that's a Bitcoin reserve.
And he said at Bitcoin 2024 that he would do that.
And I think he has the power to do that.
If you look at the idea of moving it to Treasury and moving it to Council without Congress's approval...
I mean, if I was Congress, I would nail him on that, number one.
But number two, the idea Kennedy proposed by executive order that he would free them from the capital gains tax, which, you know, that is unconstitutional for a president by executive order to make a radical change in American tax law without Congress.
Oh, yeah.
Without a comment period from the public.
Mm-hmm.
I mean, that's, you know, hello Stalin.
I know.
Well, I mean, look, just because it's not legal or constitutional doesn't stop these guys.
I mean, look what Trump did with, well, we can take the gun and do the due process later.
I can do gun control by executive order.
And they established that as a precedent.
You know, immediately...
Well, there seems to be, you know, and this is what happens when you get these kind of financial pumps.
You know, because I've lived through so many pump and dumps, it's unbelievable.
And, of course, when you're in the pump, everybody thinks they're the master of the universe and a genius, and then the...
But in the pump, you know, there's no, everybody feels so great, and there's so much entrainment and subliminal programming.
It's a religion.
And, you know, you've seen it before.
And suddenly, oh, the Constitution, that's not important, the laws that are not important, financial practices, you know, good financial practices and rules, no, we don't have to do that.
It's young, it's innovative, it's creative, it's the future.
Oh, yeah.
And they're saying all that about the tokenization stuff.
Oh, this is going to be so wonderful.
Well, here's what the tokenization...
The tokenization stuff...
The WEF says it's 2030 and you have no assets.
If you create a token for everything and then start to trade it, it's a great way to take everybody's assets.
That's right.
I mean, it's just a taking system.
Well, just look at what they did with the securitization, which is essentially tokenization as well, with the mortgages.
You know, you've got something that's a real tangible asset, and look at the destruction that they did with that in 2007. Well, but here's the thing, and I know this because I was Assistant Secretary of Housing.
We had houses, I had one house in Chicago, I found, that had refinanced and defaulted five times in a year.
Now, that is the pattern you have when you have ten mortgages on one house.
Yeah.
Right.
Okay.
And you mix it all together so nobody can see any of that stuff as well.
Well, but the reason, go back to Hamilton Securities, the reason they seized our office and stole our software and would never give it back is, you know, our databases were going to show that there were a lot more mortgages than there were homes in America.
You know, the mortgage fraud was off the charts.
So here's the thing.
I think you know, I wrote during the election, I wrote a paper called Solary Paper No.
1. It's up on our Missing Money website.
And it's a review of the federal credit, and it shows you all the things that are wrong with the federal credit.
David, we have run the federal credit that I know of since 1996, and we have refused to obey the financial management laws.
We have run the government significantly outside of the financial management laws in a way I would describe as criminal.
And we know that there's 21 train that we've identified missing, and we know they announced under the last Trump administration to take the book start.
Now, if you're serious about reform, the first thing you do is you say, I'm going to bring the government back into compliance with the financial management laws.
That's number one.
Number two, I'm going to find out where all the $21 trillion won, and I'm going to get it back, or I'm going to get the related assets back, and I'm going to hold liable and responsible for people who stole it, right?
I mean, I'm going to reverse the financial coup.
And then the third thing I'm going to do is I'm going to take a look at all of our assets, whether it's our people or our land, and I'm going to say, how do we get back to being productive?
Step one is we've got to stop poisoning our kids.
That's right.
So, you know, if our people aren't, you know, aren't our talent, then that's what's wrong.
Yeah, yeah.
Right there at FDA. So what do you think?
Because I think of FDA now, I talk about it as being free to do anything.
And so, but at the center of that is the poisoning, the food and the drugs.
What do you think RFK Jr. would do?
Assuming that he gets through confirmation, I think if they get a sense that he's serious about anything, they'll find some way to not confirm.
I think he's going to be confirmed.
And I'll tell you why I think he's going to be confirmed.
The system on this issue has lost its credibility, and if it doesn't reaffirm its credibility, it's going to lose the channel.
Okay.
So what you see, there's always, you steal, right?
And then you, you know, you have a period of reform, and everybody says, ah, see, we can, good, we can trust the government, and then you steal again, and then you reform.
You know, it's like a pendulum, and you swing it back and forth.
It's like a harvesting machine.
Right.
And, of course, it was important for Trump to try to recoup some of that lost trust after he was bragging about his vaccine to put the guy that was a vaccine skeptic in there, you know?
And I looked at it and I always thought, is that going to go beyond the election?
You know, will he actually put him in there?
And if he does put him in there, will he do anything?
So, it's funny, I will tell you, I saw the, I don't know if you saw the interview he did with Meet the Press, where they were giving him a hard time about vaccines, and he looked at the woman, it was like she was like an economic hit lady, he looked at the person doing the interview and he said, you know, I'm going to forget his exact words, but he said, you know, we have a real problem, and we have to do something about it, you can't.
You can't.
And she said, well, you're going to can't.
He said, I want to just get to the truth.
He said, but we used to have, you know, one in every hundred thousand was autistic.
Now it's one in every hundred.
My numbers say it's one in every, there's differences in the people I know between 20 and 30. But whatever the number is, what he was saying is you can't, you can't, you have no future as a civilization.
You have no future.
You can't let that go.
You have to get to the bottom of it, and you have to fix it.
And she couldn't have cared less.
No.
She put out all the talking points, well, we're just better at measuring this stuff now.
It's not really that we've got more, you know, all that kind of nonsense that we've heard for a while from these people.
No, but you know something?
You can murder with a pen.
You can kill people with a pen.
Yeah.
And what she is doing, you know...
You never want to make the Attorney General of the United States because there are a lot of people who are going to get prosecuted.
But that's murder.
That's murder.
That is really murder.
And that's wrong.
Some people should go to hell.
Yeah, that's why I could never support Trump because of what happened with the vaccine and the fact that he continued to cheer it and to push this other stuff.
But it'll be interesting to see what happens.
You know, when we talk about pump and dump, One of the things that immediately comes to mind over this last year is artificial intelligence.
Is that going to be a big bubble that's going to burst the stock market?
Because I've never seen a pump and dump like AI ever.
And all the amazing things that it's going to do, and of course it will have some useful purposes, but we already saw the dot-com bust.
The internet was going to be a big deal.
Let me make some guesses here.
I think the reason you're seeing the AI stocks fly is because government's shoveling so much money at them figuring it out.
Because you need AI to build the control grid.
And you know, one of the things, the feedback you get from businesses is that businesses can't figure out a way to use this stuff to make them profitable.
So they're struggling to turn it into real productivity, which is, you know, and in part that's, on any new technology, that's always the truth.
But I think one of the reasons the talks are flying is the government is throwing so much money at it because they need it for the control grid, not because it creates fundamental economics.
Did you see Marc Andreessen talking about why he flipped to Trump?
He said, first of all, they told him, the guy that created Netscape, they tell him, don't even bother to get into AI. We're going to control that.
And we're going to shut this down.
He goes, well, you can't do that.
That's pretty outrageous, and you can't do that.
Well, we did it before.
You know, we put entire fields of physics off limits to other people, they told him.
And he said, well, I learned a couple of things that he was really taken back by the frankness Well, that is frank, but if you look at the deep state, they are going to control one.
Yeah, that's right.
I mean, you know, these guys, the goal of the AI is to help them do their version of the new governance system.
Oh, I agree.
And it's back to the control grid.
You know, one of my big questions, we do a wrap-up every quarter and every year, and we have a whole section called Unanswered Questions.
Because there's so many mysteries in the world we live in, David.
But one of my unanswered questions is the reason these guys want total complete control is so they can bring out free energy.
Because they're terrified of bringing it out.
Free energy can be weaponized.
It can be very dangerous.
So do they want total control so they can finally bring out free energy?
You know, I don't know.
How would they weaponize free energy?
So, I don't understand the physics.
You'd have to talk to the guys who really, you know, who do it.
I have one member, two members of our team were the guys who did the Breakthrough Energy conferences.
If you go to Global Them, and they dragged me along to a couple of them, but...
That technology can literally create weapons that can do huge destruction.
True, true.
And of course, it's a big part of their control grid.
When you look at their ability to control things, it comes back to not only their...
A monopoly, essentially, on money and financial assets, but it's also a connection to energy, the ability to manufacture things.
But in the past, they've even talked about how, well, you know, we just need to kind of switch over away from these fiat currencies and start trading in energy credits.
And so you see things like carbon taxes, and you see this carbon sequestration, which is another scam that I see developing there in the background with Trump and these people around him.
I mean, that's going to be a – they're going to come out and tell people, "You can use any kind of energy you want, but you just got to pay us," right?
Dr.
We don't have a fiat currency problem.
The currency that we have the problem with is debt-based.
But we could easily evolve a dollar system into something without debt-based thing that could be great.
The greatest currencies throughout history have been fiat currencies that had good governance systems.
But if you have a powerful fiat currency that is basically run by a secret governance system who wants you dead, that's a problem.
But, you know, there's a difference between the problem being a currency problem and an organized crime problem.
Our problem is we have a secret governance system.
We don't have a financial problem.
We have a political problem.
We have a secret governance system, and it's trying to centralize and control in a way that we don't want.
We want to be free.
I agree.
That's our problem.
I agree.
And it's just not a financial problem.
We've got about five minutes left, and I want to ask you in a little bit of time that we've got, what's your take on all this drone stuff?
It certainly looks like a setup to me, and of course they've got a reauthorization thing that's going to be folded into the continuing resolution.
They could have gotten that passed by putting in a continuing resolution, but it's looking more and more to me like perhaps as they start putting out this narrative about radiation, I get concerned about a false flag, dirty bomb or something to escalate war.
What do you think is going on with it?
This is a wild guess, but my guess is one of two things are going on.
One is they have those drones out.
It's clearly a military intelligence operation.
So it's either the military and the intelligence agencies, or it's their contractors doing it for them.
So they're either concerned and looking for something, You know, so they have a real concern about some kind of risk.
And they're doing surveillance to figure out what's going on.
And, you know, it's a legitimate national security concern, whatever that is.
We can speculate about that.
Or the second thing is if you look at how much money they've put in the defense authorizations to build drone capacity and where those people are, you know, a lot of this is happening in those corridors.
And this could be sort of prototyping to get people ready for the control grid.
So, you know, so they're planning on using a lot of drones to run the control grid.
Yes, yeah.
So it could just be prototyping and getting folks used to this kind of invasive drone.
What do you think of the idea that, you know, they're kind of planning this out there about it being radiation?
What about a false flag dirty bomb so they could escalate some of these wars?
What do you think about that?
Well, I think they're really concerned about, you know, on the number one scenario, they're doing surveillance.
I think they could be really concerned about dirty bombs or, you know, whether it's a false flag or a terrorist attack.
Because we're in a world of asymmetrical warfare.
If you are basically engineering the death of Russian generals in Moscow, then they feel free to come and do the same here.
That's right.
That's right.
And the Russians have warned, if you keep doing this, you know, if you invade our sovereign territory and kill our military on our soil, whether it's a missile or, you know, an assassination license, you know, two can play this game.
Yeah, I agree.
So we're in a world of asymmetrical warfare.
Anything's possible.
I've had more than a few people over the years tell me, you know, if so-and-so doesn't get his way, he's going to set off a dirty bomb in Chicago.
I remember I had one member of the intelligence agency who tried to persuade me that when they thought they couldn't get Iran-Contra to really, you know...
Keep the lid on it that they were prepared to blow up a small, you know, a suitcase nuke in Chicago.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, go back and look at Operation Northwood.
I mean, they were willing to do 9-11 type stuff, you know, back in the 60s, I guess.
Right.
So I think those drones reflected military intelligence concern that, you know, there was risk and they had to find it.
Yeah, it is very concerning.
You know, when I first looked at it, I thought, well, maybe this authorization thing.
But the more I look at it, the more I think, well, they're going to get that through anyway.
They've already got it.
Very quickly.
Uh-huh.
You know, the situation has moved to a real out-of-control state, and there are far too many very powerful people who think chaos is good for business.
That's right.
They make money going up and coming down, especially if they know when it's going to go up and come down.
That's the key thing for them, isn't it?
Well, part of it is the hubris.
If you look at what has been gotten away with, the organized crime hubris is bad, and you have many factions.
So, you know, I think we're in for, there's going to be plenty of chaos in 2025. And it's not all just going to be engineered.
When a society loses its...
You get real madness.
And we're dealing more and more with people who are literally losing their mind.
I agree.
Well, let's talk a little bit about Solari and the Solari report.
I've got a copy of the one on water.
Oh, we've got our latest wrap-up.
Great.
It's amazing the breadth of information that you get in these reports.
And, of course, you're always ahead of the curve there at Solari.com.
Tell people a little bit about the membership that's there.
So we have a subscription service.
We'd love to have you as a subscriber.
As David pointed out, every quarter we publish, we do a big wrap-up of the news, news trends and stories.
We do a big wrap-up of the equity markets and the financial markets, but we also deep dive what I call a primary theme.
And I'm a great believer coming out of the investment community that at any given time there are 20 to 25 primary trends that are driving our world.
Like the growth in space or the shift of economic activity to Asia.
These are long live trends or the bull market in gold.
These are long live trends if you take the time to understand them, learn about them, You know, you get that knowledge and then it's good, you know, it's good for 20 years because it's a long live trend.
And you're looking at the one we just did on water and everybody said to me, water, why is the salary report, you know, you're laying this money, why are you doing water?
I said, the number one most important thing to the financial value of a place in real estate...
It's good water.
If a community has good water, remember that town in California where they stopped the water system?
They said, we can't afford to do it anymore, and suddenly these $500,000 houses were worth nothing.
That's right.
There was no water system.
That's right.
You know, imagine.
So, anyway, but water is very, very important to the health and well-being of the place.
And one of the things I always say...
The families, if you're going to reverse your situation in the Great Poisoning, if you want to, you know, get out of the Great Poisoning and get really healthy, the first thing you have to pay attention to is, you know, what is the water you're drinking, what is the water you're bathing, and what's the water you're putting on the, you know, on your garden, on your food?
Yes.
So, anyway, so this, the last one was on water.
The next one coming out will include all the material on what the states can do, but we also did a deep dive on land, Brad.
What are the tactics used to do land grab?
And anyway, there's a wealth of information that can help you at the state level really deal with the fact that there's a whole group of people trying to grab our land and in the meantime stick Ponzi schemes into our pension funds.
Well, they told us that we're going to own nothing.
We just have to figure out how that attack is going to come and how we defend against it.
And that's what the intelligence is.
So here's to Larry's vision.
It's 2030. You have more assets and are more prosperous than you are today.
And Klaus Schwab is in his chateau in the Alps in a state of deep depression.
That would be great.
I like that video.
Thank you so much, Catherine.
It's always great to have you on Solari, and Solari Report is Solari.com, and you can find Solari Report.
And I would underscore for everybody, I'm definitely going to take a look at your article there about hijacking Bitcoin in your interview.
I'm very interested to see that, because it's going to be a big part of the next year that's coming up.
This guy, Steve Patterson, he is brilliant.
So is Roger Ver.
You're really going to enjoy listening to him.
I'm going to try and get him back again, because these are both...
You know, I never explained what happened to Roger, but after he published the book, the feds went after him.
Oh, yeah?
And I think given the scam, the last thing they want is the truth about Bitcoin.
And there's no, if you look at Roger's qualifications to, and the book speaks for itself, because if you look at the research, the footnoting, the material, it's impeccable.
Yeah, that's amazing.
Let me just ask you real quickly before the show ends, and we've gone over a little bit here a couple of minutes, but I got you on.
I've got to have you on more often because it's always fascinating to have you on.
What do you think about gold?
Are you talking about long-term trends of this?
We're in a long-term bull market for gold.
I don't see anything fundamentally changing either, do you?
No, I don't think there's anything new, anything changing, other than there's a major marketing push to get everybody to not buy gold to buy Bitcoin and crypto.
But it's working.
Imagine if it hadn't been for Bitcoin and crypto, gold would be through the moon.
So it's been very successful, and the central bankers are free to buy and buy and buy.
That's right.
Absolutely.
Well, thank you so much, Catherine.
Always great to have you.
Solari.com, fascinating information, great insights.
Thank you so much for joining us.
Thank you.
Thank you.
And let me just get to a couple of these comments here as we play the music rolling us out here.
We've got Guard Goldsmith said, what she says is so true, I recall Reason reported, men tend to look at large systems in politics, federalism, etc., while women tend to stay more local on school kids and politics and so forth.
And yeah, again, Guard Goldsmith, Liberty Conspiracy, every night on Rockfin and on Twitter.
Andromeda1, thank you very much for the tip.
Says Ketanji Brown Jackson identifies as a woman, yet she can't explain what a woman is because she's not a biologist.
We're living in the Twilight Zone.
Merry Christmas.
Thank you all.
I wish I had a Christmas night album.
Hot dog!

Are you going to throw a rug?
I want the Christmas Night album, too.
Hey, that's pretty good.
Buffalo gals, can't you come out tonight?
Can't you come out tonight?
Can't you come out tonight?
