	In
	a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
	It's the David Knight Show.
	Okay.
	It's Friday, the 7th of February, Year of Our Lord 2025. Well, today we're going to see the USAID isn't just CIA financing wing, it is the deep pockets of the deep state.
	We're going to begin with that, but we're also going to take a look at the Mystery Man.
	In the Panama Canal, 40% owner, the listeners have discovered who this guy is.
	We'll take a look at what they're trying to do with interest rates, as well as the record low cattle and shortages of chickens and eggs.
	And what our listeners have told us about that.
	We'll be right back.
	Stay with us.
	Well, I'm a little bit out of breath here.
	We're running a little bit late.
	But just made it just in time.
	Let's begin with USAID. And it is the usual suspects.
	The big three billionaires.
	And actually, one of them is not actually a billionaire, but it's an organization.
	But the big three villains, the usual suspects.
	Gates, Soros, and the World Economic Forum.
	Given billions of dollars by USAID. And look, every time we talk about USAID, just understand that it is the pocketbook, one of the pocketbooks of the CIA. They've got dark funds other places, but this is one of the ways that they spread money around in the third world.
	They like to portray it as if it was some kind of welfare program for poor nations.
	But understand that when they send out tens of billions of dollars of food, it's typically given to these dictators who then keep it and sell it for a profit.
	And that's the way the CIA inserts itself into this.
	USAID shutdown isn't just a bureaucratic reshuffle, says Expos A News.
	It is a direct hit to the globalist stronghold that's funneled billions of dollars into Gates' vaccine empire, sources backed...
	Regime change and the World Economic Forum's dystopian vision.
	The Biden administration had requested $64.4 billion in discretionary budget authority for 2025 for USAID and the State Department and some other international programs.
	This has all been put on hold.
	But again, when we look at all of this, it's surprising to me how many people If we're looking at this, simply look at it as, well, you know, this is funding that's going to the left, and then they see that some of it is connected to the CIA, but it really is the deep state's deep pocket.
	It is a slush fund, and it is a slush fund to both left and to the right as well.
	Contrary to mainstream depictions of the agency as a provider of philanthropic assistance for soup kitchens and health clinics, It's really a tool of the CIA's foreign policy.
	They've got their own foreign policy.
	Actually, they're the ones who are controlling the foreign policy from behind the scenes.
	All of it.
	USAID is frequently involved in laundering taxpayer money through projects that support globalist strategic interests, which don't always align with the stated goals of the development or the poverty alleviation.
	As a matter of fact, they don't usually.
	Usually the stated goals are exactly the opposite of what these people are talking about.
	The agency covertly supports regime change operations by funding opposition groups, NGOs, and initiatives that align with globalist political and economic objectives.
	This is where the color revolutions from Soros come from.
	That's where the vaccination depopulation programs for Bill Gates come from.
	And look, it's all part of the CIA. It's all part of DARPA's agenda to do all of these things.
	So Gates, major contributor to Gates' Gavi Alliance.
	How is that charitable aid?
	But even more importantly, why does the CIA want to do that?
	And then you might ask yourself the question.
	This has been going on since 2000. When Gates set up the Gavi Alliance.
	And so, who was president then?
	Who's been president since then?
	So we're talking about two terms of George W. Bush.
	Gates' vaccine alliance has been getting money.
	Two terms of George W., two terms of Obama, one term of Trump, and one term of Biden.
	Like I said, this is bipartisan.
	$1.16 billion to Gavi from 2020 to 2023. More recently, they pledged at least $1.58 billion to Gavi over the next five years.
	One of the top recipients of USAID grants in 2024, Bill Gates.
	He's just a philanthropist himself, right?
	We look at the CIA as a philanthropic organization.
	And the Vaccine Alliance is a philanthropic organization.
	No, they're not.
	In 2017, Soros was identified by the Heritage Foundation as having been the primary implementer of USAID's foreign aid since at least 2009, his Open Society Foundation.
	However, the collaboration between Soros and USAID dates back much further, going back to 1993. It was president then, the Clintons.
	They helped to set up Soros USAID. At that point, they had already partnered with Soros' management training program to train 30 professionals from Bulgaria, Estonia, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia by the late 1990s and the early 2000s.
	Soros' network of NGOs played a central role in the color revolutions that were going through Eastern Europe.
	Well, the most notable of those was the Ukraine's Orange Revolution.
	And his influence extended beyond Eastern Europe.
	His globalist agenda in Guatemala, approximately $100 million, fomenting unrest in Latin America between 2015 and 2018. Again, it doesn't matter who's president.
	The CIA runs the country.
	The CIA's got its own foreign policy.
	The CIA does as it wishes.
	And this is their money group.
	In 2024...
	Biden requested nearly $30 billion for USAID in 2025, underscoring the massive financial resources flowing through this agency.
	And then from 2013 to 2022, the World Economic Forum.
	USAID invested approximately $26 million in multi-year agreements, according to the World Economic Forum's website.
	This is money that's pouring into the World Economic Forum from USAID. 2013 to 2022. Well, we're looking at four years of Obama, four years of Trump, and four years, well, not quite four years, of Biden.
	In January 2024, House Republicans introduced legislation, the Defund Davos Act.
	To specifically block USAID from giving money to the World Economic Forum.
	Scott Perry, who led the bill, said forcing American taxpayers to fund annual ski trips for insular global elitist is absurd, not to mention reprehensible.
	The ski trips are not the reprehensible part of this.
	The reprehensible part of it is their intention, their stated intention, to shut down everything in our life, every liberty.
	Take away all of our freedom and dignity.
	That's the reprehensible part of this.
	Yes, they are elitist.
	Yes, they fly on private jets.
	And as I pointed out yesterday, private jets have exploded.
	You've got these companies who have been doing these as taxis, and this is the most that they've ever had in their existence.
	So as they take away our cars, making them unaffordable, banning them, soft bans by regulating them out of affordability, Banning, eventually, all the working cars.
	You know, not going to have any Hiluxes.
	Those have been banned forever because diesel.
	But, yeah, they want to ban all that stuff while they get their private planes.
	But that's not the issue.
	It'd be one thing if they just wanted to steal money.
	These people want to kill us.
	And they want to destroy our societies.
	And so does the CIA. It's part of their agenda.
	And that's how they fund it, partly.
	They got a lot of black funds, but they do this up front.
	90% of Ukraine's news outlets get funding from USAID. A lot of people talked about the $8 million going to Politico, and the press secretary walked that back, and she said, well, that's over several years, and that's over several different organizations, and it wasn't completely Politico.
	Either way, what do you call this?
	It's called Operation Mockingbird.
	The CIA has been buying the press for the longest time.
	And, you know, when you look up Operation Mockingbird, typically you'll see these, now that it's out, they'll say, oh yeah, that was the 1960s.
	Things were really bad then, but we don't do that kind of stuff now.
	Same kind of stuff you'll find in a lot of the books about the beginnings of DARPA. Oh yeah, look at what they did.
	You know, they were running Operation Paperclip and they were bringing in these war criminals.
	They experimented on humans.
	That's reprehensible.
	Well, we don't do that now.
	No, it's much worse now, quite frankly.
	It's much worse.
	And they don't even try to hide it.
	Now, Operation Mockingbird is definitely still in operation.
	USAID and other federal entities are subscribing to these different news organizations.
	That's how they...
	Not a direct grant or anything like that, but you've got some subscription fees there.
	You know, the area of your website where you pay for service, and they're doing that.
	Working off of data from Reporters Without Borders, the Columbia Journalism Review reported that USAID had, quote, boasted of supporting more than 6,000 journalists, around 700 independent, quote-unquote independent.
	Yeah, they're independent.
	You're not independent if you're taking CIA money, okay?
	700 independent newsrooms and nearly 300 media-focused civil society groups.
	But 6,000 journalists.
	700 media organizations.
	Just amazing.
	I can confirm that more than $8 million taxpayer dollars have gone to essentially subsidizing subscriptions to Politico on the American taxpayer's dime will no longer be happening, said...
	White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt.
	But then she walked it back that Politico itself had not received $8 million in subscriptions.
	She said that she had learned of the issue right before the briefing and was referring to outlets in general.
	So clarification about that, because that initial misunderstanding has gone around the world several times now.
	Nevertheless, the bottom line is that they're boasting about how many organizations and journalists they own.
	Both USAID and the CIA were behind the impeachment of Trump in 2019. Is this why we're doing something about it?
	Because Trump never did anything in the first term, right?
	All these presidents, Republican and Democrat, as I pointed out.
	Oh, this started in the Clinton administration, goes through Obama, goes through George W. Bush, it goes through Trump, it goes through Biden.
	And so, maybe this is why this is all happening now, at this point.
	Because of political enemies.
	A U.S. government-controlled group did the research that linked Rudy Giuliani to former Ukrainian prosecutors.
	The House of Representatives impeached Trump for that, December 18, 2019, after a White House whistleblower Went public with evidence that Trump abused his powers by withholding military aid to Ukraine in order to dig up dirt on his rival, Joe Biden.
	He's withholding military aid to a country that has been at civil war because of a coup that was engineered by the CIA. Money flowing through USAID controlling 90% of the press there.
	And I guess he's not supposed to withhold any of that, right?
	How dare you withhold any military aid to this situation that we have not declared war in, but that we are, in fact, in a proxy war with Russia, an undeclared proxy war.
	How dare you withhold money?
	So the whistleblower claimed to have heard from White House staff, this would be hearsay, wouldn't it?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Since when is hearsay admissible evidence?
	When you have a Democrat-controlled House of Representatives, it is admissible.
	Claims to have heard from other people who told him that on a phone call, he directed Zelensky to work with his personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, to investigate Biden and Hunter Biden.
	The whistleblower who triggered the impeachment was a CIA analyst.
	Who was brought into the White House by the Obama administration and retained by the Trump administration.
	You want to know why they're going after USAID? You want to know why they're kicking people out left and right everywhere?
	Because of these holdovers.
	And they're part of the deep state.
	And this is the, you know, the deep state is all of the bureaucracy.
	But the, you know, what's really running this country is a CIA. So it'll be interesting to see what happens with this warfare.
	Between Trump and the left behinds that are now having their behinds kicked as they're being shown the door.
	Reporting by DropSite News last year revealed that the CIA analysts relied on reporting by a supposedly independent investigative news organization called the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project.
	You ever heard of that?
	No.
	It appears to have effectively operated as an arm of USAID, something they just made up.
	And so, when you look at Reason, Reason is telling us that the fact that USAID is paying Politico is a non-troversy.
	In other words, it's non-controversial.
	They're not really interested in the Constitution.
	Is that right, at Reason?
	No, they really don't get...
	The plot.
	Reason still doesn't really understand what it's going on.
	They were reluctant even after the documents were shown that the Biden administration and others, even prior to that, were directing social media to do censorship.
	Even after the documents were released, Reason was reluctant to say, well, corporations can do whatever they want, right?
	Corporations have got rights too, you know, as Mitt Romney told us.
	No, they don't.
	No, they don't.
	You have to have a privilege license to have a business, but the bottom line is that these corporations, and I don't say, I disagree with the fact that you should have to have a privilege license, but the corporations, these social media corporations, are creatures of the state.
	We are creatures of God.
	That's why we have inalienable rights, because we're created by God.
	Humans have rights.
	Corporations are granted privileges by the government that creates them.
	They belong to the government.
	We belong to God.
	It's just that simple.
	And if you don't make that kind of distinction, what you wind up with is the kind of, I used to always refer to it as the iron fist of government censorship in a velvet glove of private corporations.
	And Reason was pushing that.
	Reason would push it, and John Stossel would push that a lot.
	He said, look, I don't like what they're doing to me.
	They are, you know...
	Banning me different places, kicking me out of different places.
	I can't get my firearms in certain places.
	Not the firearm thing, but all the censorship.
	He said, these private corporations can do whatever they want to me.
	No, they can't.
	Unless you've got the mindset of a slave.
	Can you imagine?
	Reason.
	A libertarian publication with the mindset of a slave.
	And that's what happens.
	When you hold harmless a political party or a group of people, they hold corporations, I've said many times, libertarians believe that corporations can do no wrong and that government can do no right.
	The Democrats, the liberals, believe that government can do no wrong and corporations can do no right.
	The problem is that neither of them see the fascist merger of the corporations and government.
	And what kind of a monster that creates.
	They're totally blind to that.
	What was going on that Reason didn't see was that there was a merger between the corporations and the government.
	You know, you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours.
	You get rid of these people, but I don't like what they're saying about my tricks and my agenda.
	And we'll work with you on this.
	And so they're blind.
	Reason is blind to what's going on with Operation Mockingbird that is still continuing.
	As USAID is paying Politico and many others with this stuff.
	The government should not be paying media.
	If you pay them, you control them.
	We don't want government-controlled media.
	And it's not just because we want to save money by getting rid of PBS. I don't want supposedly private media being paid by that either.
	And look, this is going to continue with the Trump administration.
	Look at how everybody is bowing down and kissing the ring.
	Either because at Fox News they think maybe they can get a cushy government job or at other places because they're just trying to serve Trump and find the audience out there that wants to believe that Trump is going to save them.
	They want to cater to that confirmation bias.
	I want to confirm your bias that Trump is going to save us.
	And so I will speak no evil of him whenever we talk about the vaccine.
	It'll be about Biden.
	It'll be about mandates.
	Whenever we talk about the scam of the pandemic, it'll always be, China did it to us.
	It escaped or they released it.
	It'll always be that.
	Never Trump.
	The never-blame Trumpers.
	So, some critics of USAID have seized on a misleading claim.
	Namely, that the organization was funneling millions of dollars to Politico.
	In reality, it appears that government agents were paying for subscriptions to Politico's premium products.
	So what?
	Do these people subscribe to me?
	Is USAID on my Subscribestar list?
	No.
	By the way, thank you, Subscribestar supporters.
	I don't read out your names, but it is such a blessing for us, and we really do appreciate your sustained support.
	But USAID is not on the list, if I were to read off the names.
	As a matter of fact, they're the ones who are contacting.
	PayPal and Venmo and other people saying shut him down so that he can't accept payments.
	And they're the ones telling YouTube and Spotify to shut me down so nobody can see my content.
	That's coming from the CIA. That's coming from the USAID. I've got a problem with that.
	Reason doesn't care.
	It's just like they didn't care when people were being censored by corporations.
	Oh, they can do whatever they want.
	No.
	No, not at all.
	By the way, You know, they're subscribing to Politico and many of these other places, unsubscribing me everywhere, and then they are giving tens of millions of dollars to people like Chelsea Clinton.
	Chelsea Clinton!
	Musk is stunned at the discovery of Chelsea Clinton allegedly receiving $84 million in taxpayer funding.
	I mean, that's like what they gave, what the Trump administration gave Planned Parenthood during the CARES Act.
	Remember that?
	Republicans and Congress had said, well, we're not going to give any money to Planned Parenthood.
	Well, they did anyway.
	They did anyway.
	And they didn't take it back.
	But they got like $80 million.
	But here's Chelsea Clinton getting $84 million.
	It's just chump change to these people.
	It's monopoly money.
	Because they've got a monopoly.
	They've got a monopoly to be able to print as much money as they want.
	And so it's just funny money.
	They keep rolling it out the door.
	Chelsea Clinton, $84 million.
	In 2010, then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton helped oversee $4.4 billion that Congress had earmarked for recovery efforts in Haiti by USAID in 2010. And that was a...
	A rat's nest of corruption we've talked about for the longest time.
	Of corruption, of child trafficking that was going on in Haiti.
	So USAID was funding organized sex trafficking and lining the pockets of their family members of sex trafficking of kids.
	All the while, USAID also funded media organizations to cover up that there were sex trafficking kids.
	And then this person who put this in, Liz Croken on X, she says, also known as Pizzagate.
	No, it isn't.
	This is part of the problem with Infowars.
	They make the truth unbelievable.
	And I'm not saying there wasn't something going on with Clinton and what is that guy's name?
	I got Panetta on my mind and his name starts with a P. Anyway, Podesta.
	It sounds like pedophile, you know, Podesta.
	Podestophile.
	Look, yeah, there's a lot of stuff going on with him all the time.
	But, you know, tying it to a pizza restaurant and all the rest of the stuff that happened, that's the problem.
	You make the truth unbelievable.
	And quite frankly, I believe that's the job of Alex and people like him.
	I think he is paid for that, quite frankly.
	Honestly.
	After having worked there, I believe that his job is to make the truth unbelievable, to push back on it, to make it a parody.
	You know, Satan does the same thing with a lot of these preachers out there.
	It's a satanic trick, frankly.
	Yeah, somebody discovers the truth, well, let's make a joke out of it.
	Let's throw some lies into this mix that are easily identified.
	And then people say, oh, well, that's not true.
	So the whole thing must be.
	Untrue.
	That's the way they cover up.
	It's not just giving money to Politico, which writes details.
	No, it's not this, it's that.
	No, no, no.
	It's also the people on our side, quote-unquote, who throw their garbage into the mix that is obviously a stench.
	And it's like the little cockroach running around in the loaf of bread, right?
	You throw the whole loaf of bread away.
	And so they come in with this stuff about a particular...
	A person or a particular pizza restaurant or something like that, and they throw the whole thing away.
	That's what the purpose of that is.
	Through Judicial Watch, we learned that Chelsea Clinton used finances that were supposed to be used for homeless people in Haiti, but instead we used her on her own wedding that cost $3 million.
	How do you spend $3 million on a wedding?
	I don't know.
	And she's got a New York home that is $10 million.
	And they're getting a lot of contracts out of Haiti and all the rest of this.
	In May of 2023, Chelsea Clinton was in the news pushing for multiple shots for every child, saying no one should die of polio, measles, or pneumonia, including in this country, where we also need people to vaccinate their kids.
	So we don't want you dying of any of these diseases.
	We want you dying of vaccines and pharmaceutical products, because we can make money when you do that.
	That's what they're telling you, right?
	Yeah, because, you know, if a lot of people didn't die from polio, measles, or pneumonia, they'd have to let the Clintons kill them, maybe.
	Who knows?
	They've got a long list of buddies following them around.
	She claimed that the 1973 Roe v.
	Wade decision helped to add $3.5 trillion to the economy.
	Chelsea Clinton did.
	Imagine that.
	Yeah.
	I've said for the longest time.
	That, you know, when you, the argument that Planned Parenthood makes when people come in for an abortion, they'll tell them, do you know how much this child is going to cost you through the age of 18?
	And they come up with some kind of, you know, 18 years of support and education, all the rest of the stuff.
	It's like, yeah, you got a couple million dollars you want to pay on this kid?
	Well, I guess you're going to have to just kill him, right?
	Scaring people with that.
	But I said the subtle bargain there.
	It's the same thing that we used to see with the mass murder and sacrifice, child sacrifice that was rampant throughout the areas that were in northern Africa, Carthage there, as well as in the Canaanites.
	And the Canaanites were stopped when Israel went in there.
	But Israel adopted their practices because they didn't put them out, and so you even had Israeli kings that were doing child sacrifice, passing their child through the fire.
	And that was a sacrifice to Moloch.
	It was a sacrifice to money, to prosperity.
	They would have their festival, their open sex festival, to Ashtaroth, and that was a thing that would draw people in to these cults.
	And then a few months later, You know, when the child is born, they can put him on the fire and get rid of him in the name of prosperity, because we don't want to have to support those children, right?
	And that has continued.
	And when you look at what was happening with Carthage, just massive, massive boneyards of children who were sacrificed in the North African Empire of Carthage.
	And I'm absolutely convinced it's one of the reasons why you had...
	Cato saying at the end of every one of his speeches, one more thing, Carthage must be destroyed.
	I think that was God working through him.
	And they did.
	They did destroy it.
	But Franklin Graham said on Facebook, in response, Hillary Clinton claiming that abortion, killing kids, had added three and a half trillion dollars to the U.S. economy.
	So what?
	That money is going to rot your soul in hell.
	Anyway, he said, what?
	A lie.
	Hitler probably also claimed that killing Jews would be good for their economy.
	He said, legalizing abortion hasn't added anything to our country.
	It has only taken away.
	It has cost this nation more than 60 million lives.
	Lives that are precious to God.
	Just think of the contribution these people would have made.
	There will be another high cost.
	I believe God will judge America for allowing the heinous murder of our own children in the womb.
	And to everyone who has had an abortion, that is murder in God's eyes.
	But I am happy to tell you the wonderful news that God will forgive you.
	He can take the shame and guilt that you've been carrying around all these years.
	He can take it away if you're willing to turn to him and put your faith and trust in his son, Jesus Christ.
	Not only will he forgive you, he will save you for eternity.
	And you'll be reunited one day in heaven with that child.
	See, this is how we overcome these people.
	It isn't by having a Savior in the White House.
	It's because we have a savior.
	And we don't have to worry about that.
	Well, I want to finish up with this USAID before we take a break.
	Cheney, Liz Cheney, I said it's bipartisan.
	Of all the people, who would think that Dick Cheney's daughter would be working at the CIA's USAID Employment Agency?
	Again, as I've said over and over again, I'm surprised I haven't seen any articles from the right talking about the fact That Obama's mama was USAID all of her life.
	A supposed anthropologist.
	Yeah, right.
	Both of her parents were founding members of the CIA that had been in the OSS. She worked for USAID, which was CIA. We said that all along.
	Everybody's saying, well, is Obama black?
	Is he white?
	I said, he's CIA. It doesn't matter if he's black or white.
	You don't trust him.
	He's CIA. All of his family that raised him are CIA. USAID. That's where his mother was.
	And so that's where Liz Cheney was.
	And so, Musk had just written one word.
	Interesting.
	In response to a post from the Foundation for Freedom Online executive, director Mike Benz, who had written that Cheney was spawned out of USAID. Yeah, just like Bill Gates was spawned out of Planned Parenthood.
	They don't want children born, but they spawn things like the Gates family.
	The Bushes, too.
	Anyway, Benz said that she was spawned out of USAID, citing her previous position as an officer for USAID. And she replied, and so he puts that out.
	Musk says, interesting.
	And then Cheney says, well, I'm proud of what America did to win the Cold War, defeat the Soviet communism, and defend democracy.
	It had nothing to do with USAID or the CIA, folks.
	Wire Nation stood for freedom.
	You may be unfamiliar with that part of our history since you weren't yet an American, she says to Musk.
	Interestingly, When she responded to Musk, she tagged an account that doesn't belong to Musk.
	And somebody said, yeah, but when he was around, your daddy was making the military-industrial complex billions, sending me and my buddies to die, chasing the ghosts of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
	Well, I hope this guy...
	Oh, that's Fox News contributor Joey Jones, so he's not going to say anything about Trump.
	And the fact that Trump promoted Gina Haspel, who sold those lies about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, based on torture, he promoted her to the head of the CIA. Joey, you might want to take a look at that.
	USAID is going to be cut down from 14,000 workers to just 294. It's kind of like the military base in Greenland.
	You know, it used to have 10,000 people after the Cold War.
	They cut it down to 200. But, you know, nothing ever, they never get rid of anything.
	Why are they keeping nearly 300 people?
	I don't understand why they're keeping 300 people at USAID. They just can't bring it themselves to kill some alphabet agency.
	Absolutely amazing.
	Now, this, I've got just one thing I want to say before we take a break.
	And that is how the deep state is trying to defend itself.
	They want to try to make the case for USAID. And so here's what the Washington Post put out.
	It's been reported in bits and pieces by various other...
	News outlets.
	USAID is dismantling, raises questions about food aid purchased from American farmers.
	We've got to save the farmers.
	Well, if you want to save the farmers, you've got to kill the USDA. It's just that simple.
	You better let the farmers farm.
	You better let the consumers eat what the farmers farm.
	And that's not what the USDA wants to do.
	The USDA is working for Bill Gates, just like USAID. It's working for him and giving him money.
	The USDA is doing his dirty work.
	Killing chickens, trying to stop dairy farmers and all the rest of the stuff.
	That is the World Economic Forum.
	It's Bill Gates.
	It's George Soros.
	That's their agenda.
	And the USDA is doing that.
	Why are they not stopping the USDA? And so this is what they're trying to say.
	They're trying to say, well, you know, we give a lot of food aid to poor countries.
	And that food is bought from American farmers.
	Well, that's not exactly true.
	Only 40% of the food that they give away is coming from America.
	Isn't that interesting?
	They don't even buy American.
	60% of the food that they give away, the CIA gives away.
	They get from other places.
	But 40% of it does, and it's still a huge amount of money.
	It's like $2 billion.
	And so they're saying, you want to take that $2 billion away?
	From the American farmers?
	They said, USAID is a primary supplier of global humanitarian food aid.
	USAID purchases that food aid, about $2 billion a year, of rice, wheat, lentils, peas, from American farmers.
	And then they buy about $3 billion elsewhere.
	Prompting questions about how the agency's shuttering might also impact rural America.
	Hey, if you want to help them, get the USDA off of their back.
	Shut down the USDA. We'll save money off of that as well.
	They said, all this stuff that is coming out about USDA. Yeah, okay, they gave $84 million to Chelsea and Hillary.
	Okay, okay, they're giving millions of dollars to the press to mislead and lie to you.
	But look, they're buying some food from farmers.
	And what do they do with that food?
	As I said before, they give it to these totalitarian dictators to distribute.
	And what do they do?
	They sell it.
	They sell it.
	They monetize that.
	They sell it to profit.
	And so they're propping up these dictators with that food.
	So, another one.
	This is from Raw Story.
	Always reliably wrong about everything.
	And radically left-wing.
	Trump's USAID gambit backfires as American farmers are now threatened, they said.
	They're being threatened by the USDA. Purchases and shipments worth about $340 million, blah, blah, blah, have now been frozen at this point in time.
	The Brookings Institute.
	Emphasize that this is going to hurt farmers.
	It's going to hit the farmers the worst.
	Well, when we look at this whole thing, just remember that the conservatives are not blameless in this either.
	Liz Cheney, it is interesting.
	Liz Cheney worked for USAD, but...
	USAID was also investigating Starlink's contracts in Ukraine.
	Don't forget that Musk feeds at this massive trough in Washington as well.
	That may have something to do with it, but the biggest thing is that he's making money off of Ukraine as well.
	These different factions in the U.S. government, and there's different factions within the intelligence.
	They may have exactly the same agenda on the key things that are going to take us into technocratic slavery and a dystopian police surveillance state.
	They may be fully on board and in step with each other on that.
	They have other issues for which they disagree.
	And that's what people get all caught up in.
	And that's what promulgates these other issues.
	And they're important issues, too.
	Things like abortion, that is an important issue, but they use that to draw a distinction between the two when it comes to net zero and when it comes to the vaccination and the depopulation and the surveillance and all the rest of this stuff.
	The two of them are fully on board with each other.
	But they each want to be the ones to run it.
	And so when you look at this, should we choose?
	And trust and worship Stalin or Hitler.
	Right?
	Which one do you like?
	And that's why I say, I don't like either one of them.
	I still get people put stuff out.
	Well, I used to listen to you.
	Who would you vote for?
	You mean you would actually support Biden?
	It's like, no, actually, my candidate was not on the ballot.
	None of the above.
	None of the above was not on the ballot, so I didn't vote.
	What are you going to do to stop all this stuff?
	You think your vote for president makes a difference?
	Get a clue.
	You're clueless if you think your vote for president is going to get us out of this central path to take us into this kind of technocratic slavery.
	Neither one of these guys are any different on this stuff.
	And we can get the outlines of that as well.
	We've got more to say about that.
	But look, just understand when Musk is there, he's feeding at the trough as well.
	USAID, big part of this Ukraine war, the civil war and the coup that kicked it off.
	Well, before we take a break, Smokey73Bandit, thank you for the tip.
	He says, thank you for what you do, David.
	I appreciate that.
	Couldn't do it without your support.
	When is Trump going to end the Ukraine-Russian war?
	Well, we, yeah, exactly.
	We've had, I guess a lot of people are wondering about that, so they leaked a statement about that.
	And we'll get to that, what that leaked memo is, trying to tamp down people laughing about the fact that he didn't do it before he took office, and he was going to do it on day one, and then he says, well, maybe in six months or whatever.
	Whistler says, I wonder how much of that two billion goes to small farmers versus megafarms that lobby politicians.
	I'm sure that's exactly right.
	You're right.
	Yep, it's going to be the big ag people that get it.
	Wes Robertson, Reason wants you to believe.
	That you have no control over your degenerate government.
	Yeah, that's true as well.
	And your control is really going to be inversely proportional to, you know, the most control you've got is at the very bottom.
	That's where you've got the most control.
	It's difficult, but you can exercise some control there.
	I don't think that you have any control over Washington, frankly.
	These people do whatever they wish, and they're not constrained by the Constitution.
	Octo spook.
	USAID was becoming and is a government within a government, and right there at the heart of the bank for these criminals, like the CIA. I agree, but they've been linked with the CIA forever.
	Forever.
	And the CIA is the real government.
	It really is.
	There's different factions within the CIA that will come to the top from time to time, but the CIA is the real government.
	Wes Robertson.
	It's interesting, too, because USAID. ID got its start under JFK. And the CIA took over our government when they killed JFK. Wes Robertson, government corruption is being streamlined through privatization.
	Well, we're going to take a quick break, folks, and we will be right back.
	If I can find this thing.
	Yeah, here it is.
	All right, we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.
	Thank you.
	you you You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Well, I thought it was kind of interesting, this CNN take on all of this.
	I like to see what the different factions have to say.
	And CNN says Trump and Musk are moving to smother these three pieces of the 40 chess.
	No, they're saying these three pieces of the government.
	And so the first one they say that is being targeted is the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
	Well, good.
	It needs to go.
	They say that the CFPB was set up by Congress after the Great Recession to protect consumers.
	Nothing will be further from the truth.
	It was set up by Liz Warren, and also it was set up not to protect consumers, but to protect big banks from competition.
	And they were able to drive small and medium-sized banks out by the hundreds every year after they set them up with their regulation.
	That's how you destroy.
	The power to tax is a power to destroy.
	But you can also do it through regulation.
	The director, Rohit Chopra, was fired this past weekend before the end of his five-year term.
	Now, one of the most suspicious things about this monster that was created by Liz Warren, and Barney Frank, I think, was her partner in crime, One of the most suspicious things about this was the fact that it is funded by the Federal Reserve.
	And they said, well, we want to make it independent of Congress.
	Why would you do that?
	The Constitution is supposed to be funded by Congress.
	That's the power of Congress to control, you know, the checks and the balances, the purse strings.
	And so she wanted them to be independent.
	She wanted to put it under the Federal Reserve, make it this kind of quasi-private thing.
	That's one of the reasons why, When the first person that was there, when they retired, they said, well, we're going to put the number two person in.
	And Trump was in office at the time.
	He said, you can't do that.
	They said, yeah, we can.
	You don't have any say-so over this.
	Thinking that they're like the Federal Reserve or something.
	Even the Federal Reserve, they go through the pretense of saying, well, we get to pick the chair of the Federal Reserve or he's got to talk to us or whatever.
	They don't have any control over it.
	And that's what these people were saying.
	For that reason alone, it should be destroyed.
	Because it's unconstitutional.
	And as they're going to fight against these moves, you can bet that a lot of these, every one of these moves is going to be challenged in court one way or the other.
	And so as they're saying, Alito came out in opposition to it.
	So it'll be interesting to see what happens in the Supreme Court.
	Will they support the Constitution or will they do their own thing?
	Who knows?
	But the acting head right now of the CFPB is Treasury Secretary Scott Besant.
	And so then we go with the USAID, as we've talked about before.
	Everybody knows about that one.
	And then the third one.
	It was the Department of Education.
	Listen to this lie from CNN about the Department of Education.
	In existence since the 1800s.
	Are you kidding me?
	That's one of the most bold-faced lies I've ever seen in my life.
	There was no state education really to speak of in the 1800s.
	The first places to have even...
	State-run education, government-run education was always done voluntarily.
	The community would set it up and the community would control it and the parents would control it.
	That's why they created school boards and why we have that relic that we've now lost control of, the school board.
	It was set up that way for local control.
	And so it was before you even had the state get involved in it.
	But right after the Civil War...
	When it was an oddity that only existed in Massachusetts and one or two other places up north.
	And R.L. Dabney, who was a pastor, he was the pastor with Stonewall Jackson.
	And R.L. Dabney wrote an excellent treatise on education where he predicted to the T exactly what would happen with government schools.
	And he could see that.
	Because he understood that education is not about reading, writing, and arithmetic.
	But it's about moral education.
	And he said the government has no legitimate role in setting up moral education.
	And for a good reason.
	And it violates the Constitution anyway.
	Because what religion are you going to teach?
	Because one will be taught.
	And then it will be a violation.
	It's not just a difference of a particular denomination, or Catholic, or Protestant, or Hindu, or Muslim, or whatever, or atheist.
	Somebody's religion is going to be taught.
	And that's a violation.
	But he says, do you really want them to teach your children the most important thing in life?
	And he said he thought that the Civil War began because of the government schools.
	There were Massachusetts and one or two other states up there.
	He thought that was the core part of it.
	I disagree about that.
	I think it was the bigger, as I've said before, it was about the fourth turning that they were going through, the consolidation of the nation states, because it happened in Europe as well at the same time.
	Exactly the same time in Italy, 1861-65.
	Slavery was not an issue there, but the rise of industrialism.
	And the economic and political power that came with that versus a distributed society that was agrarian, that was the same thing that was happening in Italy and America and many other places at the same time.
	That consolidation of power along with the rise of industrialism, that's what the Civil War was about in the U.S. and elsewhere.
	But government education has not existed.
	The Department of Education has not existed since the 1800s.
	In the 1800s, you were starting to get people like Horace Mann and then later in the early 20th century John Dewey who were coming up with their Marxist ideas and their centralized government control ideas that denied our freedom and dignity.
	It's just a continuity of philosophy and behavioral science.
	Culminating in the kind of B.F. Skinner, Beyond Freedom and Dignity stuff.
	But that was the latter part of the 1800s, but it still wasn't a federal department of education.
	You're flat out lying.
	And so they said, the Department of Education has been in existence since the 1800s, but elevated by Congress as its own agency in 1979. That's when it began.
	Actually, 1980. They may have passed legislation then.
	And so the Department of Education is Trump's next target, they said.
	And the National Education Association is not happy about it.
	Listen to this at this meeting.
	Depending on us to win all the things!
	All the things!
	We must win all the things!
	All the things!
	All the things!
	Our colleagues are depending on us to win all the things!
	Keep going, NEA!
	To preserve our democracy, we must win all We won't go back!
	We will keep going forward because we are the NEA! We are the NEA! Yeah.
	What a poster child for government education she is.
	We're going to win all the things.
	All the things.
	All the things.
	All the things everywhere, right?
	Whatever that is.
	Well, we'll see what happens.
	Mass deportations, by the way.
	When we look at the other things that Trump's doing.
	Mass deportations have not arrived.
	But Trump's PR blitz has.
	And that is true.
	Now, this is coming from Politico, funded by the CIA. Nevertheless, even they can tell you the truth sometimes when Trump is lying, because if you look at the numbers, the numbers are not there yet.
	Now, you could say, give them some time.
	It's going to have to ramp this thing up.
	Nevertheless, he's got nothing to brag about right now.
	At this point, the deportation rates are not very high, and...
	A lot of these people that they've arrested have already been released back into society.
	The DHS said on Tuesday that in the first two weeks of Trump's second term, nearly 5,700 illegal immigrants have been arrested.
	If the new administration continues at that clip, one expert told Newsweek it would be on track to deport half the number of migrants in 2024 that were deported by Biden.
	They didn't necessarily hit the ground running.
	You can say, well, that was only the first two weeks.
	But the press coming out of the Trump press machine would have you believe that this is unprecedented.
	And it has not gotten there yet.
	The last monthly figures available from the Biden term for November 2024. Shows 48,970 total removals, averaging about 12,200 a week.
	And so far, the first two weeks, they have put out 5,700 in two weeks, not 12,000 a week.
	Big difference.
	During his first term, Trump oversaw 2.1 million removals.
	The highest monthly total came in October 2020, when 91,000 migrants were either deported or removed.
	Across his two terms, Obama oversaw 5.3 million people removed from the country.
	He was doing it at a slightly higher clip.
	That's going to be more than 2.5 million a year, a term, I should say, rather than Trump.
	Taking out 2.1 million.
	So it actually went down from Obama to Trump.
	When that was his number one issue, was the border.
	He actually deported fewer illegals than Obama did.
	But most of Obama's stuff happened in his first year, 2009. The largest total of the entire eight years.
	At that year, he got rid of almost a million that year.
	But then you remember what he did was he relaxed it.
	And then did DACA defer to action.
	We're not going to remove anybody, right?
	Not going to remove the childhood arrivals.
	And I tried to do it with the adults as well.
	That failed.
	But they put DACA in as an executive order from his director of Homeland Security.
	And Trump didn't undo that executive order.
	He pretended that he didn't have the authority to undo DACA. Do you understand the lie involved in that?
	Everybody said, well, you know, he'd like to do it, but the Supreme Court just won't let him.
	He's doing whatever he wants now, isn't he?
	And he could have done it then.
	How in the world could anybody support the idea that one president can't undo the executive orders of a previous president?
	That's absolute nonsense.
	It was nonsense then.
	But you don't even have to go back and look at what the Constitution says.
	Andrew Jackson, I talked about this over and over when Trump would not get rid of DACA. I said, Andrew Jackson went against the Supreme Court.
	And I didn't agree with what Andrew Jackson did.
	That was when he was throwing the Cherokee out in the veil of tears.
	But that was his authority.
	And the Supreme Court had said, somebody had challenged that.
	The Supreme Court said, no, he can do that.
	And so he starts doing it, and everybody was appalled at what happened.
	And so the Supreme Court said, reconvened within a year and said, stop that.
	And he said, well, the Supreme Court's issued their decision.
	Let's see them enforce it.
	And he continued to do it anyway.
	So the thing is, the founders said the judicial branch is the least dangerous because it doesn't have any enforcement mechanism.
	But everybody bows to it now.
	And Trump bowed to it, saying that he couldn't enforce DACA. With an estimated 11 million people in the U.S. without legal status, Think about what would have to happen to get them all out.
	He's going to need to have, I guess, about 3 million a year, right?
	So if he were to take out about 3 million a year, that means that he's got to do about 57,000 each week for the entire four years.
	And he did about 5,700 over the first two weeks.
	So he's got to go about 20 times the pace that he's going right now.
	Donald Trump has imperial ambitions, says the Independent out of the UK. Why won't anyone take him seriously?
	Remember that?
	We always hear that.
	Don't take Trump literally, but you need to take him seriously.
	So when we return, we're going to tell you what some listeners found out about this mystery man that owns 40% of the Panama Canal.
	We're going to take a break 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 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 thedavidknightshow.com.
	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.
	The end of the year, the end of the year, the end of the year, the the end of the year, the end of the year, the end of the year. the end of the
	In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
	David Knight Show And it showed up many of the usual suspects.
	BlackRock, which has its finger in pretty much every pie everywhere.
	J.P. Morgan, the biggest bank in the world and things like that.
	And then there was one mystery that was there.
	And it turns out it's interesting to see what this is.
	And it gives us an insight into the company that is there.
	But I said, I saw this one name.
	And it said, Emperor...
	Kui.
	K-U-O-I. So we'll say Emperor Kui, Victor.
	So I looked up Victor, Kui, and all these different things, and I couldn't find anything on it.
	And I said, that's kind of interesting.
	I said to the listeners, I said, see if you can find something.
	I had several that got back to me.
	First one here, Adam, who says, according to Dr. Wikipedia, what he means by that is when my cardiologist pushed statins on me, I said, I'm not taking those.
	And he goes, oh, you've been talking to Dr. Google?
	So, yeah.
	So, this is Dr. Wikipedia.
	And it says, the guy's name is actually Victor Lee, L-I, Tsar Khoi.
	Tsar, T-Z-A-R. That's the way it's listed everywhere.
	So, where did they get this Emperor Khoi stuff?
	It's kind of interesting.
	Well, of course...
	Tsar goes back to Caesar or, you know, Kaiser, whatever.
	You know, in Germany they call him Kaiser, Russia, Tsar, and Rome, Caesar.
	And so that's kind of emperor.
	And I don't know what happened.
	Maybe that was some kind of a thing from Spanish to English or, you know, Chinese to Spanish to English, and it turned into somehow emperor, the way it was put there.
	But it's actually, his name is Tsar Khoi.
	And his dad gave him that name because his dad's name is Lee Ka-ching.
	Like, you know, a cash register.
	Ka-ching.
	Or maybe he's just cashing in.
	I don't know.
	But he's taken his dad's place.
	His dad's a very wealthy Hong Kong businessman.
	And these are people that came up through Hong Kong when it was independent of China.
	But they do have ties into China now, of course.
	Because China's taken over Hong Kong.
	But it's kind of interesting that he named his son Tsar.
	Tsar Khoi.
	Kind of like Trump naming his son Baron.
	You know, they have aspirations for them, I guess.
	Born in 1964, so he's 61 years old.
	A Hong Kong businessman.
	Chair of the board and group co-managing director of C.K. Hutchinson Holdings Limited.
	So there you go.
	He owns 40% of it because he's chairman of the board and his dad owned the company.
	No big mystery there.
	But I thought it was interesting, the names.
	You know, Ka-ching, cashing in, and so forth.
	And it wasn't just Adam.
	It was also, this is from, let's see, who was that sent this to me?
	Scott.
	Scott sent this to me and he said, hey, I found it because I thought I was having trouble getting things.
	I didn't have a lot of time to look.
	And I thought it was just such a puzzling name because they put emperor out there and didn't have a hyphen or anything.
	And I couldn't find it on Google, some other search engines that try Yandex.
	And Yandex is good.
	They don't filter stuff like Google does in the U.S. And so he sent me a couple of clips of that.
	And then I had Harry Hound who sent some articles about the history of this company.
	And how these guys have been there.
	And it is interesting to see how things have changed between father and son.
	So he's heir to this Hong Kong tycoon.
	And the way it was described in Asia times, the heir to the tycoon's ailing empire, there you go, emperor, emperor, empire, yeah, waits anxiously in the wings, Tsar Khoi.
	He faces a daunting challenge to revive this group's fortunes, they said.
	Which had taken a hit.
	The 54-year-old Victor has worked for his family business since he graduated from Stanford University in the U.S. With a master's degree in civil engineering in 1985, he made his name by creating CK Infrastructure, a global vehicle for investing in infrastructure projects such as power plants, bridges, and car parks.
	Now, if he's focused on infrastructure, you may have some fingers in the pie of the China Belt and Road Initiative.
	Which has been putting some stuff there in Panama.
	But Panama is still, the Panama Canal is still run by the Panamanian government.
	And it is now looking like, from pressure from Rubio and others, that they're going to push this company out.
	They'd already started before Rubio went down, after Trump had started threatening them.
	They already had the Panamanian version of the IRS doing an audit of them.
	And so that may be the precursor of them selling off, taking these assets that have a Chinese connection, even if it's only tangential, very much like what the TikTok situation is.
	Strong-arming them and taking these assets.
	So matching Warren Buffett's strategy of betting big on utilities, Victor built up CK Infrastructure's balance sheets by investing in high-yield, stable businesses at low costs.
	But of course, his dad had already gotten the company.
	In place to control the two ends of the Panama Canal going back to 1993. This new company that he created performed well for a year, but then the market did not like the fact that he was increasing investment outside of China.
	He's trying to get away from China.
	When we were in Hong Kong, and that was, you know, the lease expired in 1999. That the British had.
	And they just turned it officially back over to the Chinese government.
	They called it a separate autonomous region.
	I tell you, when we were there, it was one of the friendliest big cities we've ever been in.
	Everybody was so nice.
	They all spoke English.
	Very connected.
	And I remember when I was in the 1980s, Milton Friedman did a series that was called Free to Choose.
	And in it, he talked about how Hong Kong was kind of ideal.
	From a freedom standpoint, because the British government didn't really care to control it.
	They were there keeping the Chinese communists away who wanted to exercise control over everything.
	But these people were pretty much just left free to choose whatever they wanted to do.
	And over and over again, he came back to Hong Kong as an example.
	When we were there, even in the mid-2000s, they had private banks that were issuing their own paper currency.
	And that used to be the way that it was in the United States before we had a central bank.
	Individual banks would issue the currency, and they would have to have real assets to back that up.
	And if they didn't, their reputation was ruined, and their money was worthless.
	But I'm looking at this stuff, and it's like, oh, this is...
	I forget what the nominations were.
	Let's just say $500, because it's less than a dollar, I think.
	Here's one for $500.
	Here's another one, and look, it's completely different.
	Not only has it different colors and different pictures, completely, but it says a different bank.
	And yet they're both here in Hong Kong.
	I looked at it, and I was like, yeah.
	And that's the way it operated in colonial America, and America in general, before the central bank came in.
	Now, one of the things I thought was interesting about the little emperor here, isn't that interesting?
	That's what they call in China, when they had the one-child policy, people would kill or abandon their girls, and they would keep the son that they had, right?
	So many of these families would just have one child, and it would be a boy.
	And it got to the point where the boys were just spoiled rotten.
	Spoiled rotten.
	Our sons were, I guess, what were we, about 13 or 14 years old or something when we went over there?
	And we saw one of the little emperors on the plane when we were there.
	And Travis was just like rolling his eyes like, I can't believe this guy!
	And he's browbeating his mom.
	He's throwing temper tantrums and his mom is bowing down.
	And he's like about six years old or whatever.
	Has her cowed down the entire time.
	And they would spoil these kids rotten.
	They were very much afraid of them.
	They didn't want to have a conflict with them because those kids were going to be their provision in their old age.
	And so they called them little emperors.
	Well, this guy actually called his son emperor.
	He actually named him that.
	And so he's...
	In America, going to Stanford University, he gets his bachelor's and master's degree.
	On his way home, he is kidnapped by a Chinese gangster, a guy that was nicknamed Big Spender because of his flamboyant lifestyle.
	He's a big spending gangster.
	Lee's father reportedly paid a ransom of over $100 million to free his son.
	Kexing, however, never publicly acknowledged that the kidnapping ever took place, although the press published reports of his face-to-face meeting with the gangster, Big Spender.
	Not happy that his country would look like a dangerous place for wealthy people or businessmen, the president of China, Jing Jemin, ensured that Big Spender was found, tried, and...
	After the kidnapping, Victor Lee was always accompanied by bodyguards.
	I thought that was an interesting little aside that's there.
	But in addition to this, another article that was sent to me by Harry Hound.
	Thank you, Harry Hound.
	Going back to 2018. As they were trying to invest in infrastructure projects and do it outside of China, trying to get involved in Latin America and Europe and other places like that, they came under pressure from the Chinese government.
	And so they said, we will not be withdrawing from the Chinese mainland.
	We're not going to abandon these.
	And that was reported by the Chinese paper.
	Spokes, you know, one of these papers like the Washington Post or Politico that puts out the government's lines.
	Or CNN. I guess we could throw, now that Trump is there, we could say it's kind of like the Breitbart equivalent, you know, for the Trump administration, Global Times.
	He denied that his family business is withdrawing from the Chinese mainland, saying at an online briefing on Thursday that the claims are, quote, out of date.
	In other words, that may have been our plans, but we're not going to do that.
	So somebody asked about when we're going to have peace in Ukraine.
	Well, it looks like there's been a leak.
	You think that was accidental or deliberate?
	The Trump administration is seeking to end the war within 100 days in Ukraine.
	Quote, the unconfirmed plans reported by Ukrainian outlet Strana have been doing the rounds in political and diplomatic circles in Ukraine and will include a ceasefire by April 20. that would freeze Russia's steady advance, a ban on Ukraine from joining NATO, and a demand for Kiev to accept Russian sovereignty on the annexed land.
	Hey, so much for getting the rare earth, because now Russia controls that area.
	Ukrainian troops will be made to leave Russia's Kursk region, and then a contingent of European soldiers, which could include British troops, Would be asked to police a demilitarized zone.
	American troops will not be involved in this contingent.
	At least not yet.
	The EU will reportedly be asked to assist Ukraine in its reconstruction efforts, which may cost as much as $486 billion.
	Oh, yeah, it's kind of like Stargate.
	The plan will reportedly begin with a phone call.
	Between Zelensky and Putin in early February.
	That may have happened.
	Who knows?
	A meeting between the two of them by late February to early March.
	And an official ceasefire declaration by April the 20th.
	And I guess that'd be the day that Musk can celebrate by having a joint.
	420. Take that date.
	A declaration.
	On the agreed parameters for ending, the war would then be released by May the 9th, after which Kiev would be asked not to extend martial law or to mobilize troops.
	Can we end the martial law and have an election and throw Zelensky out?
	Yeah, hopefully that's going to be the case.
	If they're going to end martial law, that's his excuse to not have elections.
	What do you think these people are going to do with Zelensky?
	Again, he won in 2019. After there had been five years of shelling of civilians by the Ukrainian government, civilians who wanted to go their own way, self-determination, they'd been shelling them for five years, Zelensky was elected on a platform of peace.
	So what do you think they would do in an election today, six years later?
	This essentially gives Moscow almost everything it wants.
	That's what happens when you win a war.
	It's on your terms.
	This is going to be on their terms.
	Or it's not going to end.
	So, the ban on NATO admission and all the rest of the stuff.
	And they said, ceasefire by Easter, a NATO ban for Kiev.
	The leaked peace plan to have this happen by April 20th.
	Well, we'll see.
	We'll see.
	Maybe that was deliberately leaked to put pressure on Zelensky.
	Maybe it was deliberately leaked to take...
	Pressure off of Trump.
	Who knows?
	The White House, meanwhile, has softened some aspects of Trump talking about the Gaza takeover.
	It looks like this was something that he just came up with, based on the reactions of the White House staff, based on the reactions of the White House press secretary, and based on the reactions of Susie Wiles, his White House chief of staff there.
	It looked very crazy.
	But Trump, in some respects, kind of doubled down on it.
	Some aspects have been softened or walked back by the White House.
	When pressed for clarification on Wednesday, White House Press Secretary Caroline Lovett said they need to be temporarily relocated out of Gaza because Trump had said permanently.
	Permanently.
	She said temporarily.
	They need to be temporarily relocated out of Gaza for the rebuilding.
	Thus, the plan has changed from a non-permanent resettlement.
	A change to a non-permanent resettlement.
	Because Trump had said it was going to be permanent.
	She continued and said, it's been made very clear to the president.
	Wait a minute.
	Who's talking down to the president?
	He said this thing, and now he has been spoken to.
	Who's running the government here?
	It's been made very clear to the president that the U.S. needs to be involved in the rebuilding effort.
	But we're not going to do it the way he said to do it.
	So, who's telling him what to do?
	Well, that doesn't mean that the boot's on the ground in Gaza, said Trump, but that does not mean that American taxpayers will be funding this effort.
	And it's going to be temporary.
	That's what they're saying now.
	So, meanwhile, he kind of doubles down on the displacement plan while being vague about Well, it's going to happen at the conclusion of fighting, and we don't know when or if that's going to happen.
	Nevertheless, Israel's got its own designs with this.
	And you have to ask yourself, was this something that Trump came up with on his own?
	Perhaps it was.
	As I said yesterday, Jared Kushner had flowed this stuff out there, but Trump had already talked to Netanyahu last summer about this, and all this stuff got put out there.
	Right after he and Netanyahu had spent some time together alone.
	Meanwhile, the White House and everything is trying to walk this stuff back.
	So the question is, is he going to listen to Netanyahu?
	Is he going to listen to the White House staff?
	Israel is working on where to move these Palestinians permanently, though.
	And Israel wants to move the Palestinians to Spain, Ireland, Norway, and Canada.
	And the defense minister of Israel, his name is Israel Katz, Said on Thursday that these countries are legally obligated to take the refugees from Israel's war.
	How in the world does that operate?
	But that's what he said.
	Legally obligated to take these refugees.
	Spain, Ireland, Norway.
	He says countries, this is what he wrote out.
	out he said on twitter on x he said countries such as spainireland norway and others which have falsely accused israel over its actions in gaza are legally obligated to allow gazans to enter their territory how does that follow how does that follow I mean, is that the penalty for criticizing the Israeli government?
	You know, you criticize the Israeli government, they accuse you of anti-Semitism.
	So is this the penalty for anti-Semitism?
	You've got to accept Palestinians?
	How does that work?
	He said, Meanwhile, countries like Canada, which has a structured immigration program, have previously expressed willingness to take in residents from Gaza.
	So one way or the other, they want somebody to take these people so they can have the property to develop that Jared and Netanyahu and Trump, Donald, are all scheming about.
	The people of Gaza, he said, this is still...
	Israel Katz, the defense minister there in Israel, who says this, listen, you don't talk about hypocrisy.
	Yeah, he calls these people, he says, if you don't take these people, you're the hypocrite.
	If you don't take these people that we've been killing and destroying their homes, you are the hypocrite.
	And he goes on to say this, the people of Gaza should have the right to freedom of movement and migration, as is customary everywhere in the world.
	They've been in an open-air prison.
	They've been shot at.
	They've been bombed.
	And you say they should have the right to freedom of movement?
	Wow.
	Wow.
	When he's the guy blocking their freedom of movement.
	And their right to life, actually.
	And their right to self-determination.
	In a November 2023 Wall Street Journal column that was titled, The West Should Welcome Gaza Refugees, this column was written by Israel's former ambassador to the UN and a former deputy head of the Mossad.
	And they're lecturing the rest of the world about taking Palestinians so that Israel can have the land.
	Israel wants them dead or gone.
	And they want to dump them on everybody else while they get the land.
	Whatever the cost, you need to take them for them.
	them as a matter of fact they've had some documents that have been released showing a secret israeli intelligence ministry plan that was leaked at the start of the war which called for gaza to be ethnically cleansed and the refugees to be sent to europe canada and egypt could that be why we kept the aid flowing to egypt and to israel
	And so they have, it says, countries in Europe, and especially the Mediterranean, Greece, and Spain, contribution is absorption and settlement.
	For Canada, Their contribution is absorption of the population and its settlement within the framework of their permissive immigration policy.
	They planned all this stuff out.
	We had the document.
	Now he has confirmed this and says you're legally obligated.
	Why?
	Well, because there's this internal document that Mossad set up or Netanyahu, which said you're going to take them, right?
	Kat said last year that if Israel is attacked by Iran, the Jewish state expects that the West will fight their wars.
	He said, if Iran attacks, we expect the coalition to join Israel not only in defense, but also in attacking significant targets in Iran.
	Well, when we return, we're going to talk about Trump versus 60 Minutes.
	And also, it's really Trump versus free speech.
	A very dangerous precedent in this fight.
	Against 60 Minutes for his ego.
	We'll be right back.
	Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, your annual global risk report makes for a stunning and sobering read.
	For the global business community, the top concern for the next two years is not conflict.
	Or climate?
	It is disinformation and misinformation.
	followed closely by polarization within our societies.
	In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
	You are listening to The David Knight Show.
	Well, Trump versus 60 Minutes.
	Trump is saying 60 Minutes should be immediately terminated.
	That's his term.
	Immediately terminated.
	After the transcripts were released.
	Trump on Thursday suggested that CBS News' 60 Minutes be taken off the air after the program released a transcript of an interview that had aired last fall with Lala Harris amid a federal investigation into the broadcast.
	This is an abuse of power, folks.
	An abuse of power against the First Amendment.
	CBS in 60 Minutes defrauded the public by doing something which has never, to this extent, ever been seen before.
	They 100% removed Lala's horrible election-changing answers to questions and replaced them with completely different and far better answers taken from another part of the interview.
	So what?
	So what if they did?
	Prove it.
	And now the proof is out.
	Shows that they didn't.
	But so what if they did?
	Let's say that they did what he accused them of doing.
	And by the way, he has separately, besides weaponizing the government, let's say, who did that?
	Oh yeah, they accused Biden of doing it.
	Biden did do that.
	But now Trump is weaponizing the FCC against a news organization.
	Look, I don't agree with CBS. Their bias is clear.
	But only a fool.
	Everybody's got a point of view.
	Tell people what you think.
	Don't pretend to be objective.
	If somebody's pretending to be objective, avoid them.
	They're either too stupid to realize their own bias or...
	They know they're biased and they're lying to you.
	Either way, because they're stupid or lying, avoid those news sources if they put themselves out as subjective.
	And that's why I don't pay any attention to CBS, NBC, ABC, any of those.
	So what if they were biased?
	Everybody is biased to one degree or the other.
	This is purely ego.
	And it's very concerning to me that dictator Don, He wants to do the same thing to the First Amendment with CBS 60 Minutes, with one little interview that in and of itself is not important.
	Look, he won!
	Yeah, what was the amount?
	$10 billion he's suing them for.
	Hey, Dictator Don, when you take that lawsuit of $10 billion in, the first thing you're going to have to prove is that you were damaged by this.
	You won the election.
	Shut up.
	Just shut up.
	Be a gracious winner.
	I know that's beyond you.
	But you won the election.
	So what were the damages to you to sue them?
	But let's talk about the damage that he's doing to the First Amendment.
	It's the same thing he did with the bump stock, which again, the bump stock did not matter.
	Not at all.
	But it was the precedent of the president doing gun control by executive order.
	We'd always had Congress or the Supreme Court violate the Constitution and the Second Amendment.
	And what Trump did was he violated it himself.
	So he got all three branches can shut it down.
	And it's even more damaging when it can be done by a dictator Don or a dictator Joe or whoever is going to be the next dictator to come in with their executive orders.
	And weaponizing the government.
	Now Trump is weaponizing the FCC. The FCC was there to allocate frequency spectrums.
	It was not there to police content.
	This is an abomination that Trump would use the FCC to police content.
	It should be there strictly to make sure that people are not stepping on each other's toes when they're broadcasting stuff.
	But they need to get out of content.
	There was a time when Obama wanted to have the FCC oversee content of newsrooms.
	Remember when that happened?
	And boy, all the Trump people, rightfully so, were upset about that.
	Get them out of there.
	They have nothing to say about content.
	And now here is Dictator Don, and everybody is silent about this on the right because it's what he wants.
	Don't you dare take the side of 60 Minutes against Dictator Don.
	It's more important to let Dictator Don have his way and massage his ego than to have a First Amendment protection of freedom of the press.
	So the program shared a full unedited transcript of the Harris interview with the FCC this week, complied with this, and a lot of people were upset about that because they said, you know, CBS News needs to just tell them to go pound dirt, because you don't have any authority here.
	And they don't.
	The FCC should not have anything to say about content.
	The federal government should not have anything to say about content.
	But instead, they complied with this, as I said before, because Sherry Redstone, who is the heir to Sumner Redstone, Viacom, it was reported, and I couldn't remember the name of the company right offhand, but it was actually Viacom was the company that Sumner Redstone had, and Viacom bought...
	CBS and bought Paramount.
	The article that I was reading, it's like, no, that's not right.
	It's not Paramount that is owning 60 Minutes.
	No, Viacom was the company that owned a lot of different media companies, including Paramount and CBS, but it's Viacom.
	Anyway, she wants to sell off the CBS thing.
	And so she's complying with this because she doesn't...
	That the sale has to be approved by the FCC as part of their job of maintaining frequency spectrums and things like that.
	So, you know, who gets what part of the band?
	So bandwidth is there.
	So they have their finger in that pie.
	And so she's going to comply with it.
	But here's what we found.
	This is reason.
	I'm sorry.
	This is the Hill.
	This is the Hill talking about this.
	They said the FCC posted in a line.
	Saying that it shows, quote, consistent with 60 Minutes, repeated assurances to the public that the 60 Minutes broadcast was not doctored or deceitful.
	And so, it said in reporting the news, journalists regularly edit interviews.
	They do it for time, they do it for space, they do it for clarity.
	And making these edits, 60 Minutes is always guided by the truth.
	And what we believe will be most informative to the viewing public, all while working within the constraints of broadcast television.
	Of course, you've got a long clip of something, you have to shorten it.
	And you want to play the part of it that is relevant.
	But again, this is the same type of thing he's doing to the First Amendment that he did to the Second Amendment with the bump stock.
	He's going to come after this interview.
	Trump and his allies at the FCC, says The Hill, have repeatedly suggested major news networks be scrutinized more heavily and even lose their broadcast licenses over coverage that he feels is unfair to him.
	Dictator Don.
	FCC Chair Brendan Carr acknowledged, quote, there are a lot of people in this country right now on the radical left that are upset about this investigation.
	But the right is not upset.
	Why is that?
	Because people on the right need to understand that there is going to be a radical left.
	That's why I said the problem is when you look at what is being done with Trump.
	Is it being done for personal revenge and for personal power?
	Or is it being done for reform?
	If you want to talk about weaponization of government that was done under Biden, yes, it was ridiculous.
	Is Trump going to continue that?
	Yes, he's going to continue it.
	For his own purposes.
	He's not going to get rid of, he's not going to reform this and make it honest.
	And it's Reason Magazine that looks at the transcript.
	And so here's what this is.
	It said, here's the headline.
	Transcript proves that the 60-minute scandal was always fake.
	Trump's complaints were always meritless, but CBS's capitulation has set a dangerous precedent for freedom of the press.
	And they're exactly right.
	So, what was it that happened?
	The big issue.
	They released a short clip to tease the interview before it actually ran.
	They put in a question and they had her response to it.
	And then in the actual program that followed up, they had the question and they had a different response from her.
	And so...
	Trump went ballistic.
	And dictator Don sued him for $10 billion, and then when he became president, he stuck the FCC on him.
	Well, what was it that was actually happening with that?
	They said, now that you see the full clip and the full transcript, what you can see is that she gave a longer answer, and what they did was they just shortened it.
	They cut out part of her longer answer and played it in one format, and played the other part in the other format.
	And so in the Face the Nation clip, she was asked about Israel's ongoing war in Gaza and the Biden administration's dealings with Netanyahu.
	And when Whitaker notes that it seems that Netanyahu, quote, is not listening, she responds and says, Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by or as a result of many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region.
	But then on the actual broadcast, in response to the same question, she said, we're not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the U.S. to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end.
	And so Trump said, well, that's totally illegal, and that is election interference to have that there.
	Because the shorter clip, she finally got her thoughts together.
	And he said, her real answer was crazy or dumb.
	He says that in all uppercase.
	Projection.
	Actually, they replaced it with another answer.
	But when we see that the transcript released, we see that what happened was that they just cut that section in half.
	And the first part of that, she's kind of rambling as she's trying to get her thoughts, such as they are, into gear.
	And then she finally gets it together into a wrap-up.
	But as Reason says, her full unedited answer is a combination of what aired in primetime and what aired on Sunday morning, separated only by the interstitial phrase, and we're not going to stop doing that.
	Even if the cuts had been heavier, it is perfectly within a journalist's discretion to edit an interviewee's answers for purpose of clarity or brevity, so long as the edit does not distort the answer's intent.
	She said both of those things back to back.
	One of them they show in one format, the other one they show in another format.
	That's it.
	And Trump won the election.
	So what's the deal?
	Why is he weaponizing the FCC? Why is he setting up a dangerous precedent against the principle of free speech?
	Because he doesn't support free speech.
	He doesn't support the truth.
	He calls it truth social.
	Neither of Harris' answers is particularly compelling.
	The first part, which aired on Face the Nation, is superficial.
	And her delivery is halting and it is stilted.
	And the portion that played in primetime, while it is more forceful and succinct, still doesn't answer the question.
	She looks bad in both of these clips.
	One of them, though, she appears to know what she's saying when she doesn't say anything at all.
	Yeah, you have to think about that, you know, as she would always like to say.
	But to say this constitutes a scandal...
	Much less, as Trump claimed, that CBS switched out one answer for another is simply false.
	Simply false.
	The release of the transcript and the raw footage lays bare just how fake this controversy always was.
	But the problem is that it establishes a dangerous precedent.
	A dangerous precedent just like Trump did with the bump stock stuff.
	That is the real key.
	Well, when we talk about dangerous presidents and what is continuing to go on with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and its war on farms, its war on eggs, its war on chickens, and now they're expanding it.
	Oh, we found another version of bird flu, and maybe we're going to have to kill cows with this.
	Who knows?
	This was sent to me by Geese Busters, going back to talk about the last duck farm on Long Island.
	That has now been put out of business.
	And this is the kind of stuff that Trump should be focusing on.
	Instead of weaponizing the FCC against the freedom of the press, he needs to be taking out the USDA that has been weaponized against farms, chickens, beef, dairy, eggs.
	They're weaponized against that.
	For what agenda?
	Well, we know what agenda this is about.
	So don't talk to me about how USAID is giving money to the World Economic Forum if the USDA is going to be their handmaid in shutting down farms, small farms, and destroying our access to meat, dairy, and eggs.
	The history of duck farming, says Geese Busters on Long Island, New York, dates back to the 1870s when the Perkin duck breed was introduced from China.
	I'm sorry, Peking, Peking.
	Peking is what it looks like, but, you know, they...
	It used to call the capital of China Peking, and then it became Beijing.
	And this is Peking without the G at the end.
	But I'll pronounce it with a G at the end.
	The Peking duck's quick maturation and tender flesh made it a favored poultry choice, especially with restaurant chefs.
	By the early 1900s, Long Island's duck farming industry was booming, with approximately 200,000 ducks per year being raised in 1897, which grew to 2 million ducks.
	By 1922. By 1940, nearly 100 duck farms were concentrated, mainly between Eastport and Riverhead.
	The favorable conditions on Long Island, including the waterfront property, temperate climate, sandy soil, contributed to the rapid growth of duck farming.
	Additionally, the modernization of the farming industry further boosted production.
	However, starting in the 1970s, stricter government regulations.
	Yeah.
	The government, folks, you know, every time I see that, I'm not a big fan of snakes myself, and whenever I say don't tread on me and I see the snake cutting to different pieces, it's like, yeah, that's what I did to snakes usually.
	But every time I see that, I think about the fact that the government is really like a boa constrictor.
	The regulations and the taxations just get tighter and tighter.
	And, you know, just like a constrictor every time you breathe out.
	It tightens up so that you can't get your breath again.
	And that's what the government regulations do.
	Beginning in the 1970s, stricter environmental regulations and rising real estate values led to the decline of many duck farms, and by the late 1980s, only took about a decade, only a few farms remained, and by the early 2000s, only one farm, Crescent Duck Farm, continued to operate.
	Now, Geese Busters...
	Says, you're 100% right on bird flu.
	They're ramping up this fake flu all across the country.
	And the reason that they have offices in every state, USDA, CDC, DEC, continue to ignore my low-cost, humane, simple solution to solve any bird issue.
	Because, you know, they're saying, well, these things are being transferred by migratory birds.
	They're not going to do anything to the migratory birds.
	They're going to go after the farms as they are contaminated by these migratory birds.
	Geesebusters has a way to get rid of migratory birds, to get them away from a particular property, and it doesn't hurt the birds.
	It just gets them to go somewhere else.
	He said, I tried contacting the owner several times and only got...
	The blow-off.
	He said, I did get a manager, maybe a relative, and after my conversation with her, I was told that the USDA gave $8 a bird, around $800,000.
	He said that was not made public.
	I never received a call back from the owner.
	Strange.
	No interest.
	This could be the reason, because he said this on CBS, the owner of the farm, Doug Corwin, says, quote, a vaccine program is the only thing that's going to get us out of this.
	Now he's pushing a vaccine program because he got some money.
	He said, this was pulled off as his website in 1986, where he said, ducks have been a good living for my family for many generations.
	We have done very well.
	We can't complain.
	But we could walk away from here, selling to developers, and we'd be much better off money-wise.
	You see, it's always a carrot or a stick, isn't it, that the government uses to get what it wants, and it's usually based on money.
	A carrot or a stick.
	And you know, when we look at what is happening in the UK, what they're doing is the UK, the net zero labor party, that's really appropriate because you're going to wind up with net zero jobs too if the net zero labor party gets its way.
	But the net zero labor party has just changed the tax structure so that the inheritance tax will apply to small farms.
	Which means that the farm will be evaluated based on the land's value at the time of the person's death.
	And so their heirs will have to come up with a lot of cash.
	That's why we have these limitations on farms.
	Because farmers are not cash rich.
	They're land rich.
	And so by putting an inheritance tax on them, you essentially compel them to sell the farm to pay the taxes.
	It's reprehensible.
	But that's the way they're doing it there.
	It's kind of a stick in the UK. They're going to beat people out of their farms by using an inheritance tax.
	How do they do it in the United States?
	Well, they prefer, as I've told you many times, when we look at Trump with the difference between Trump and Biden, it was a carrot versus a stick.
	In the U.S., they want to give them money.
	And so, like this guy said, I'd love to be able to just shut this whole thing down.
	So they give him $800,000, kill all his birds, and now he can sell the land.
	And he's out of there.
	And he's happy about it.
	And we need, yeah, I'll sell the vaccine thing as well.
	And so they give him a carrot to get out of it.
	He's ready to hang it up.
	So Geese Buster says, in my opinion, I think this guy is taking the money and getting it out.
	The USDA is bribing farmers all over, as the government did with doctors and nurses during the fake COVID. I don't get a chance, he says, to be in the chat being so busy this time of year, but I listen every day.
	And by the way, he's got a report that he put together about this.
	He's got a rumble channel that's called, surprisingly, Geese Busters.
	That's his business, and so he talks about that.
	Rob talks about that there.
	And then, real quickly, I had this also as an email.
	This is from a supporter, not just a listener, but a supporter who said, I'd like to set up a monthly gift, but I want to make sure that you receive my first gift of $25.
	five dollars i've never used zell before and it took quite some time to get the whole thing set up so i want to make sure that it came through not sure if my name is attached to the gift or if you can tell who it's from and i sent the payment on january the 20th yes it does tell me who it comes from and i did go back and look at it thank you very much sally i appreciate that and um i don't know and and i'm sure that i read your name but of course people i go through them quickly and not everybody hears every part of every program.
	And so...
	Just to let some of the other people know, and I've got some of these even going back to the last two days of January that I've not read people's names off of.
	So let me read these names because without your support on Subscribestar, on Zelle, and on other places, this broadcast would not be here.
	These are people who contributed on Zelle.
	And, of course, we got Sally's back in January 21st, 20th, 21st.
	Felicia H. Kenneth C. Austin M. Gretchen C. Lisa K. And I see the same names over and over again.
	I really do appreciate it.
	Susan L. William R. Joseph R. Mitchell M. John B. Julie W. Ralph M. Michael L. Linda M. William Daniel W. Maurice W. Jolene A. Rogelio J. Kelly K. And by the way, Jolene A. That's a new one.
	That's a first time through.
	And two more here.
	Gregory I. And Kimberly M. Thank you so much for your support.
	And like I said, we read those.
	We go through them pretty quickly.
	And it's easy to miss that.
	One last email here that I thought was very interesting, and it was in response to something I said the other day about classical music and its effect on young people.
	And this is from a listener, Will, who said, your short comments about classical music at the end of your show yesterday brought back a memory of my youth.
	And as a matter of fact, let me just play this.
	This is nice and quiet.
	It's a little bit of Mozart.
	I'm going to play this as we are listening to this.
	This is Mozart's concerto for clarinet in A. Oh, that's not it.
	That's the wrong one.
	How did that happen?
	Do we not have...
	Huh?
	Okay, you can't?
	Okay, go ahead.
	Go ahead, Fire Whistler.
	Yeah, thank you.
	That doesn't get you chilled out.
	Not at all.
	We've got to do the thing.
	But anyway, he said, When I was a senior in high school, I took art, and my teacher was a brilliant painter, whom I consider to be a mentor.
	One day he instructed the class to paint first to classical music, then the next day to the current rock and roll and pop music that all of us consider to be our music.
	He said the results were interesting and they left a lasting impression on me.
	He said the paintings accompanied by classical music such as Mozart, Beethoven, Verdi were crisp, bright and pleasant to look at.
	On the other hand, the rock pop output from the Beatles or Grateful Dead or Monkeys, etc.
	was way less focused and actually boring to view.
	Maybe it had something to do with concentration.
	The classical music being soothing actually Well, I talked about that and the experiments that they did with pregnant women and playing classical music for the baby while the woman was pregnant.
	Hearing that, and there have been studies in the past talking about how...
	The output from dairy cattle go up if they're listening to classical music and go down if they're listening to more chaotic stuff.
	And it does.
	It does help to focus you.
	It helps to calm you.
	It's a wonderful thing why I love classical music.
	I'm going to shut up for a second and we're going to just listen to this a little bit.
	I'm not going to play the whole thing, but I'm just going to let you enjoy this a little bit.
	That is wonderful.
	Thank you.
	Excellent clarinetist.
	And I had his name written down on another piece of paper.
	When I was running late, I left it behind, so I apologize.
	But this, I remember, was the Romanian Orchestra.
	You can find this on YouTube.
	It's an excellent version of it.
	Very good clarinetist.
	I think he was from Spain, if I remember correctly.
	Well, we're going to take a quick break, and we'll be right back, folks.
	Good evening.
	Tonight's tale is a story of paranoia and a most unexpected perpetrator, the common cow.
	Or, more specifically, what comes out the other end.
	Yes, the air is thick with intrigue, as it seems that in our modern age of propaganda, even a humble bovine's backside can be branded a national security threat.
	The menace is invisible, silent.
	Yet deadly.
	Carefully contrive to panic the masses into accepting the government stepping in, jackboots and all, with their solutions.
	Because who better to stop a gaseous threat than a bunch of political windbags?
	But one must wonder, is this truly about saving the planet, or are we simply being led to pasture?
	Is it merely a MacGuffin?
	The David Knight Show serves as a breath of fresh air for those who still believe that truth can stand up to scrutiny.
	And he's found that the government narrative smells suspiciously like a load of bull.
	So if you want to help others catch wind of the BS being shoveled out of Washington, please consider supporting the show.
	And now back to our regularly scheduled program.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Don't Frag Me Bro says censorship issues ensures that we are on a path to violence.
	Absolutely right.
	High boost.
	We'll get to the point that a president will spend their entire four years undoing the previous president's executive orders and then making their own.
	Well, of course, because the Constitution doesn't matter.
	Conthink says it's not all about Trump.
	You don't have to be like the mainstream media, making Trump your main focus.
	Maybe you didn't understand what I was saying.
	Did I step on your toes?
	Did I throw some dirt on your hero, Conthink?
	You know, it's not about Trump.
	Did you hear anything I said?
	It's about the USAID. It's about the CIA. It's about the First Amendment.
	Do you not understand how that applies?
	It's about the Constitution instead of executive orders.
	What is happening right now...
	Is that he is setting the agenda, and he is what is being talked about.
	And we need to talk about what he's doing.
	If you don't like that, this is not the program for you.
	The paper has now exposed, one research paper has exposed the pseudoscience behind methane and the war on farmers, just as Hitchcock was saying.
	Methane emissions have become a focal point of the climate debate.
	Triggering absurd agricultural regulations negatively affecting farming communities worldwide.
	Targets for abuse are animals, ruminant animals, including cattle, sheep that produce methane.
	A natural digestive process that converts grass into protein-rich meat and milk for human consumption.
	Many people have said, as a joke, when they talk about bugs, and you should eat the bugs because they've got a lot of protein, And, of course, there's a meme that is out there that shows chickens, and it says, look, this is a mechanism that converts bugs into protein, eggs and chicken.
	And they don't want that.
	They want to be able to grow this.
	As a matter of fact, there is now a, for the first time, we have lab-produced chicken.
	Who needs it?
	Who needs it?
	It's amazing to see how fast chickens grow and how much food they can produce from bugs and other things.
	We don't need lab meat that is chicken.
	I'm surprised that we didn't have this before because, you know, usually whenever you get some kind of a strange meat, and I imagine lab meat is going to be strange, they say, well, it tastes like chicken.
	Well, now they claim that they're making chickens in the lab.
	That's what they want to do.
	So they can completely control our food supply.
	And there's no reason for it.
	This writer here for What's Up With That is from India.
	He said, even farmers from my family in India are targets of anti-methane assaults on agriculture that have been made elsewhere.
	In the Netherlands, in Canada, New Zealand, the UK, many other countries.
	Efforts to reduce emissions include forcing farmers to give up acreage.
	Of course.
	Give it to who?
	To the people who want to own everything.
	And to pay high climate taxes.
	See, that's the public-private partnership.
	They get the land, the government gets the taxes.
	And they control and own everything.
	Dairy farmers are being required to feed cows a supplement.
	We've talked about this before.
	Bouvare, which inhibits the production of methane in the UK. People have organized boycotts.
	To the extent now, this was written back in August, actually.
	They wrote this back in August.
	Now the boycotts have gotten extensive enough that many of these stores have removed this.
	People say, we don't know what this is.
	It hasn't been tested.
	We don't want to eat animals that have been fed this.
	It's absolutely not necessary.
	And his point is, is that a paper titled Methane and Climate by two physicists went through and looked at what is actually happening with methane.
	And what they compared was the radiative forcing of methane and carbon dioxide.
	And what they mean by radiative forcing is the difference in the net upward thermal radiation from the Earth to space through a transparent atmosphere or the lesser radiation through an otherwise identical atmosphere with greenhouse gases.
	So in other words, does this really have an effect?
	Methane was greater than it is for CO2, but because there's so much less of it that it doesn't make any difference.
	They said they find that the methane molecule causes about 30 times more warming than one additional CO2 molecule, but the relatively abundant CO2, now when they say relatively abundant, we're talking about 0.04% of all of the atmosphere.
	0.04%.
	They said, nevertheless, atmospheric methane concentrations are increasing about 300 times slower than CO2 concentrations.
	And although they're going up, it is not causing the greenhouse gas warming that they had predicted.
	So their model doesn't apply.
	None of this applies.
	The bottom line is, they said, the public needs to demand More rigor, more honesty, more humility for those who are undertaking the complex science of climate change.
	Look, just tell them to prove it.
	And so what if it is true?
	So what if it is you've got more methane than you did before?
	First of all, you can't prove that they've got more methane than they did before.
	And secondly, so what if they did?
	You just tell that to the flatulent Earth Society when they start telling you to shut everything down.
	Meanwhile, the...
	The climate grifters are whining, just like the CIA, that they're not going to get their money.
	And you've got Bloomberg.
	This is the headline from Bloomberg.
	It is surreal.
	Trump's freeze on climate money sows fear and confusion from these people who have been grifting off of this stuff for the longest time, making one dire prediction after the other.
	And now they're going to have to go get a job or something.
	The article parades a cast of characters who are struggling to cope with the horrors of not being able to suckle at the federal teat.
	And they talk about four of them here.
	Alex Baumstein of the Clean Air Council, another person who is the CEO of 2C Mississippi.
	What's that about?
	Well, we can't go for two degrees centigrade or we're all going to die, that type of thing.
	This guy's name is David Funk, who is in a funk.
	The president of an energy consulting firm that had to furlough employees because the Department of Agriculture wouldn't give him free money or a professor at Brown University.
	The real issue, he says, is the fact that the elites are losing control.
	But are they?
	If we're going to pretend that we're in the Paris Accord, and who knows what's going to happen in the next year or so, are they just moving to a different carbon-based grift?
	And I think that really is the case.
	Because we know the people that have been given the levers of power now are people who have been calling for carbon taxes, people who have been calling for carbon sequestration and carbon pipelines.
	And here's how this all affects you.
	This is a person in Connecticut who just got her electric bill.
	I'm going to show you the craziest thing I've ever seen in my entire life.
	You ready?
	$1,113.
	For one month.
	For one month.
	$1,113.
	Our total supply that we used for the month was $236.71.
	The transmission was $87.01.
	The local delivery, I don't know how the fuck they deliver it, but we have to pay for it.
	She's upset here, so we're going to stop it at this.
	But the bottom line is, didn't go through and screen that out, sorry.
	The bottom line is that She is very upset because there's also a chunk in there that she has to pay for other people's electric bills, who aren't paying their electric bills.
	But what she doesn't see is the fact that you've got these companies, for example, she's in Connecticut.
	Things on Long Island, we're talking about how they're killing the farms and the farmers and the rest of the stuff.
	Well, they're going to make electricity four to five times more expensive.
	They're going to go the route of what is happening in the UK. With windmills and other things.
	And so, you've got a company there that is putting offshore windmills.
	They're going to sell the electricity to people on Long Island.
	And the cost of that is going to be about four to five times what it currently is.
	They're going to make more than double.
	Their cut is going to be more than double what the entire cost is to the customers on Long Island right now.
	And that is the direction that we're headed.
	It's not just the people who are running these foundations and getting government grants.
	They're the ones who are putting out the lies.
	They're the court jesters for these programs.
	But then what happens is the big bucks move in and get it.
	And if we leave this stuff in, and if we continue to allow them to panic children and to panic the public again, it's being sold on the basis of fear.
	And they have scared children to death.
	With this relentless push of all this stuff.
	Do we have our guest ready?
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Well, we're going to take a quick break, and Gerald Sunti is going to be joining us today.
	So we're interested to see what Gerald is saying about what is happening with the economy and where we're going.
	I'm sure he's got something to say about war and peace.
	We're going to take a quick break, and we'll be right back.
	ORCHESTRA
	PLAYS ORCHESTRA
	PLAYS ORCHESTRA PLAYS ORCHESTRA PLAYS ORCHESTRA PLAYS Defending the American Dream.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Well, real quickly, a couple of comments before we go to Gerald.
	Angry Tiger says, Careful where the Mozart, David.
	I was reading this morning they're putting trigger labels on Shakespeare.
	Anything classical is under attack right now.
	Heaven forbid we learn anything or get any cultural enrichment.
	And Brian and Deb McCartney said, I've always loved classical music.
	We used to clean every Saturday to Flight of the Bumblebee.
	My mom hoped it would make us work faster.
	I bet it would.
	Either that or the...
	Lone Ranger theme, you know, the William Tell Overture.
	That'll get you hopping real quickly.
	Joining us now is Gerald Salenti of Trends Journal.
	Always great to have Gerald on.
	We got a lot to talk about.
	A lot is happening with money.
	A lot is happening with war and peace.
	And again, you can get a subscription to Trends Journal if you use the code NIGHT. You can save 10% off.
	It is a wonderful publication.
	If you haven't seen it, very detailed.
	You can get some samples of it and get an idea of the scope of it if you go to trendsjournal.com.
	But he's got over 300 pages of it set up as an online magazine, and he doesn't have any fluff in there at all.
	It's really about the real stuff.
	Thank you for joining us, Gerald.
	Oh, thank you for having me, and thank you for all that you do.
	You know, really, though, before you consider...
	Subscribing to the Trends Journal, you might want to go to the toilet paper record.
	Oh, they call themselves the paper record, the New York slime.
	Here, this is Sundays.
	You see this?
	Bill Gates is the entire back page?
	No, this is the front page.
	Oh, that's the front page!
	This is the front page.
	The front page of the business section.
	Wow.
	Wow.
	Nothing.
	They're giving you nothing?
	Other than the crap that they spew out.
	Wow.
	One stupid...
	Big picture after another.
	There's no journalism anymore.
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah, look at this.
	Look, look, look.
	More about Gates.
	Look at this.
	Wow.
	Wow.
	That's it.
	So far ahead of his time that he's circling back.
	Yeah, right.
	So here it is.
	Here it is.
	You pay...
	$5 for the weekend, for the Sunday edition.
	Wow.
	$5.
	That's for the Sunday.
	The Treads Journal with Knight is $2.50 a week.
	Wow.
	And we give hundreds of pages.
	It's a magazine.
	You read what you want.
	You can listen to it.
	It's in different languages, whatever language you want to put it in.
	But we're giving people what does not exist anymore.
	Journalism is dead.
	Yeah.
	And the New York Slime reported yesterday, they increased their subscription base, I forget, a couple of hundred thousand, 11.4 million people subscribed to that thing.
	Wow.
	Wow.
	Probably including USAID. You know, they're subscribing.
	They're bragging about how they give money to all these different thousands of journalists and thousands of hundreds.
	It's about total.
	It was about a thousand of these different quote-unquote news organizations being paid off.
	Operation Mockingbird lives.
	It continues to go on.
	I'll tell you, if I was subscribing to the New York Times on their Sunday thing, $5 for that one day, and I got a full-page ad of...
	Bill Gates' ugly mug, I think I would cancel my subscription right then and there.
	I'm telling you, more and more people are going to it.
	Wow.
	And here's the, you know, so anyway, you know, we need the more people that read the Trends Journal, the better the opportunity to change the future.
	Because we're giving facts.
	We're not prostitutes.
	We're not little media whores that get paid to put out by their corporate pimps and government whoremasters.
	Oh, what if Fox just hired Trump's daughter-in-law or something?
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah, I saw that.
	Yeah.
	And then you got that little Stephanopoulos, little clown, arrogant boy over there.
	Oh, he was with the Clinton gang.
	Oh, what's her name?
	Saki.
	Oh, she's with MSNBC. How stupid can people be to swallow the crap, spewing out of the mouth of these low-life pieces of scum that all they do is sell us the crap that their corporate whoremasters and political pimps want them to do?
	Yeah.
	You know, Gates puts himself out there as a philanthropist, and yet he's pushing these different agendas with his money, while simultaneously he's getting money for his organizations from USAID. It's just a circular thing that we see happening, just like the graft and corruption in Ukraine with Zelensky.
	But I saw your tweet about Laura Trump, Eric's wife, getting a job of Fox News.
	And I said, well, you know, maybe she's got a program about the pitfalls of plastic surgery and lip filler.
	You know what I mean?
	That's why they hired her.
	I mean, it's disgusting.
	By the way, you know, I totally support Trump on his getting rid of the federal government as much as we can.
	I'm totally on that page.
	And not only on that page, but every damn city, every damn state, you got all these lowlife pieces of bureaucratic crap heads that can't get a job in the real world and suck off into the political system.
	And they become the most arrogant.
	That's right.
	Yeah.
	All these people who are, you know, writing the stuff about climate change and everything to push the fear.
	And the same thing is true of all of the scary pandemic stuff about, oh, we got bird flu coming.
	Now they're going to come after the cows.
	They got a new strain, they said.
	And it's all such transparently, it's just a transparent lie.
	You know, all of this stuff is just made up.
	It's like, have you isolated any of this stuff?
	And why are you so focused on meat and dairy and eggs?
	Oh, well, that's because.
	The World Economic Forum and the C40 organization doesn't want us eating those things.
	So it's just all a theater of fear.
	Theater of fear.
	It's been going off for centuries.
	Yeah.
	Well, yeah, but now they want to shut down all the farms, and they're making pretty big moves towards it.
	I think they want to shut down the small farms so the big farmers will...
	You know, push out the bugs or push out the vaccines to the food or whatever it is that their endgame is.
	All those things are part of their endgame.
	But I wish he would shut down the USDA. And, you know, when he shuts down USAID, they went from like 14,000 to 300. My comment earlier today was, why is he keeping 300?
	I don't understand why they're keeping 300. They never get rid of anything.
	It's just like the base that they've got in Greenland, they used to have 10,000 there after World War II. Now they're down to 200. Why are they keeping 200 there?
	You absolutely don't even need them there, not with the current technology, not like it was after World War II. Again, I was the assistant to the Secretary of the New York State Senate.
	All right?
	At the top.
	I'm a young guy in my Robert Hall suit at the day, eating shrimp cartel with Malcolm Wilson.
	That's after Rockefeller died after having sex with that chick and having a heart attack.
	And Malcolm Wilson came in.
	And those other guys, other guy who was the majority leader.
	Anyway, I was at the top.
	I saw it all.
	I quit.
	I quit after one year.
	My best friend at the time, Brian Donahue's wife, Mary Donahue became Lieutenant Governor under Pataki.
	So I was right at the top.
	To watch grown men grovel wasn't my trip.
	That's why I quit.
	We'd be hanging out in the back of the chamber.
	A young guy, 26 years old.
	I got this little slob opening the door for this.
	Senator Frank Jones, Sergeant at Arms.
	Senator Mike Smith.
	I said, what's this guy opening the door for?
	What's this crap?
	And they'd look at me.
	Then my buddies would leave me as we're talking.
	Again, what are you talking about in those days?
	Talking about chicks, cars, sports, whatever, you know?
	They'd follow the senator to his seat, pull it out and help him sit down and come back.
	I say, man, what's the matter?
	Cat can't sit down by himself.
	He needs some help.
	Did you see Trump do that for Netanyahu?
	Yep.
	Pull the seat up?
	Yes, Master.
	I put in the sound effects for that when I put it out.
	Yeah.
	So I quit.
	But anyway, what I'm saying is the political system is, you know what they are?
	They're zookeepers and we're just the animals.
	Yeah.
	Right?
	Yeah.
	That's right.
	I'm the zookeeper.
	You're talking about the COVID. How about that little slime ball?
	That little arrogant daddy's boy, Andy Cuomo.
	I'm renaming the Tappan Zee Bridge after my daddy.
	Oh, you forgot to put Mario M. Cuomo.
	Take it down, redo it.
	It costs us $30 million to redo this whole...
	All right.
	Now he's leading for mayor of New York City.
	He's running in there.
	Little Daddy's Boy.
	Oh, I forgot his little brother.
	Chrissy.
	Yeah.
	Oh, again, as George Carlin said, it's one big club and you ain't in it.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah.
	It's one damn arrogant gang of little nobodies.
	And I'll say this really clear.
	when you call these guys out man-to-man, I can't use the proper language, but I have to say they wouldn't know whether to pee or poo.
	All right?
	But it's worse than that.
	You call these guys out, they back down like that.
	They back down like that.
	They're little gutless little characters, but hey, I got the security guards around me.
	I'll tell you what to do.
	All you are is a plantation worker of Slavelandia.
	I'm in charge.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Well, you may get some, if he becomes mayor, you may get some schadenfreude when the commercial real estate crash happens and he's holding the, he's the mayor of New York.
	How's he going to explain that, right?
	But yeah, I know what you're talking about.
	And you know, it's not just in New York.
	It was in North Carolina.
	You know, I talked to a guy who, when he was younger, I knew him in the Libertarian Party and he ran for governor, but...
	He said he'd been a page in North Carolina, and the Speaker of the House, he said he was this big, heavy guy, incredibly obese, and he would just sit in the area and hold court like Java the Hutt.
	And all these people would line up, and he said they would bow to him, essentially kiss the ring and everything.
	That's what we're seeing now with Trump in Mar-a-Lago.
	It's everywhere.
	It's from the state level all the way up to the top level.
	And so the key thing is, as you said, they see us as the animals in the zoo.
	It was Carl Rove, I think it was, that said, we're history's actors and you're just observers and we're going to do the stuff and you're going to watch us and we're going to move on and we're doing the next thing.
	You'll still be talking about that last thing that we did.
	Well, I think it's important that we understand where they're headed.
	And I think it's important that we head that off and that we make preparations ourselves.
	That's what you're doing with Trends Journal.
	That's what I try to do with my broadcast is to show what these people's plans are so they can't hurt us like cattle and put us in the cages.
	And they're building the cages right now.
	They've got all kinds of cages that they're building for us in every aspect of our life, whether it's movement or food or career or even the clothes that you buy.
	They want to limit us to three articles of clothing a year.
	This is the plan that these incentives Yeah, here's the deal.
	I've been at this 45 years.
	And by the way, you were talking about the farmers, you know, the bigs taking over everything.
	This is my book, Trends 2000, which was an international bestseller.
	We wrote about it back then, about how all the small farms were going out of business.
	And how the bigs were taking over everything.
	I mean, look at the Tysons, the one after another.
	Look at this.
	Look at this crap.
	I think that's a big part of the bird flu stuff, too.
	You know, the big guys, they can lose a million birds and they can stay in business.
	But the small guys, you take all of their birds, they can't stay in business.
	And the bigs have taken over everything.
	And by the way, you know, as I condemn the genocide in Israel, Look what they've done, bombing the hell out of this place, ruin it, destroying it to nothing.
	Oh, you're an anti-Semite for saying that.
	And that's going to get even worse under the Trump administration, the Zionist organization in there.
	But moving on to it, and seeing where it's all going, and as I said, if I say anything about that, I'm an anti-Semite.
	So I'm not anti-Italian if I say there used to be a guy by the name of Mussolini.
	May he rot in hell, who call the merger of state and corporate powers fascism.
	That's a quote.
	And that's what we have right now.
	Look at all the billionaires that are running the show.
	Isn't that amazing?
	Yeah.
	That is crazy.
	And anybody out there listening, you have no right to open your mouth to speak about anything unless you're a billionaire.
	If you're a billionaire, then we can listen to you.
	But otherwise, shut your damn mouth.
	I gotta listen to the crap spewing out of Musk's mouth every damn day?
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah.
	Hey, I'm the richest man in the world.
	Shut the hell up, you little ditty.
	You little wop from the Bronx.
	You're a nobody.
	I'm Musk.
	Mm-hmm.
	So I've had it, man.
	I've had it with this crap.
	That's right.
	I am so disgusted with it.
	And now, this is going to be, the dictator is in charge.
	Look what this guy's done in 18, 19 days in office so far.
	Yes, I agree with shutting down the government.
	I agree with tariffs.
	I totally oppose, how dare you say, we're going to take over that land in Gaza.
	And we're going to make it a Riviera.
	How dare you say that?
	Oh, I forgot.
	Your son-in-law said that.
	Last February, February 15th.
	Remember?
	Jared Kushner?
	Yeah.
	This is a very valuable waterfront property, and we should move the Palestinians out and put them into the Gev Desert?
	Yeah.
	We were talking about that a year ago, yeah, in February last year.
	Yep.
	And then he mentions it again with Netanyahu when he meets with them in the summer.
	So, you know, then we're supposed to believe as everybody reacted, the way that they reacted to this, maybe it didn't go off exactly the way they thought it was going to go off, but they try to walk it back and pretend it's just some kind of a spontaneous thing that he comes up with.
	They've been talking about it for a long time with all this stuff.
	To me, you know, when I looked at the inauguration thing, And to see all of these billionaires all lined up, Jeff Bezos, Zuckerberg, you've got Sundar Pichai of Google and everything, Musk and all the rest of them, all lined up.
	Have you ever seen anything like that before?
	I've never seen it.
	I mean, they've always bought these politicians, but it's never been in your face like that.
	And you know these guys don't agree with Trump or care about any of these issues.
	You know they're there just for the money that they're going to make out of this.
	It's disgusting to see it.
	It really is.
	Yep.
	Look at them.
	Look at this.
	Look at this ugly, ugly little clown.
	Look at Zuckerberg.
	Yeah.
	Look at Pichai.
	Look at Bezos.
	Oh, yeah, yeah.
	One clown after another, and they're telling us what to do.
	And not a penny for peace.
	Not a penny for peace from these little lousy pieces of crap.
	Not one penny.
	Not one penny.
	Yeah.
	Oh, I agree.
	Yeah, some people.
	I made the joke about the, I said, well, they gave him that pager.
	Was that a threat or an honor, you know?
	They gave him that, when Netanyahu gave him that golden pager, somebody else said, well, it couldn't have gotten any worse.
	Now he's on call from Netanyahu, so just dial him up on the pager.
	So instead of the red phone with Russia, we've now got the golden pager from Israel, so that he's at the beck and call of Netanyahu.
	That's basically what's going on.
	A criminal!
	A criminal!
	Yeah.
	A criminal!
	And what did he do when the last time Netanyahu was here, the time before speaking to Congress?
	You spoke to them for like 60 minutes and got 50-something standing ovations?
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, I know.
	How about looking up to little Mikey Johnson?
	Look at that little boy of nothing.
	Yeah, he's photobombing all these different meetings of everybody.
	You know, he's always got his face in the picture and flattering everybody in every way that he can think of.
	It's a clown show.
	Yeah, it is.
	Mitch McConnell out of his mind falling down, dead in your face.
	Yeah.
	Nancy Pelosi, little Chuckie Schumer.
	It's a freak show.
	The freaks are running the show.
	Yeah.
	And it is, you know, you have to look at this just like Dianne Feinstein, you know, Mitch McConnell and these people.
	They stay there forever.
	You know, that is their life.
	That's the only thing that has meaning in their life is that.
	position that they've got there.
	And you have to kind of feel sorry for them that they've got nothing.
	You know, they've got nothing outside of this.
	Hillary Clinton used to always talk about the politics of meaning.
	And I said, politics is just, it means everything to her.
	You know, politics and power.
	And these people will hang on to that until they carry them out feet first out of the Capitol Hill.
	You know, they don't ever want to leave.
	I mean, it just shows how these people have been corrupted and essentially possessed by this love of money and love of power.
	It's really something to see.
	Yeah, it's disgusting.
	So going on to some other trends, look at gold prices.
	Yes, yes.
	Before I went on the air, it was, what, $2,879 an ounce.
	And one of our top trends for 2024, that 2024 would be a golden year for gold.
	Gold prices went up last year 25%.
	Yeah, yeah.
	When we made that forecast, Gold was selling at $2,041 an ounce on January 2nd, 2024. And now it's up, what, $840 over that.
	Yeah, I was looking at it this morning, and what I looked at it this morning, the first thing this morning was $28.63.
	It's a little bit higher now.
	But at that point, it was up 7.5% over the average of all of 2024, you know, averaging it together.
	And they're looking at a lot of the different places they're saying, analysts, Goldman and others, are now saying $3,000.
	You know, they had said that it would hit $3,000 in early 2025, but then they backed off when Trump got elected.
	Everybody backed off of gold.
	Yeah.
	And I was telling everybody, hey, this is just a momentary thing.
	Nothing fundamentally has changed with the debt or any of the rest of this stuff.
	And, you know, the dollar and the economy and the government's trajectory on spending this money is really not going to fundamentally change.
	I mean, they can fire a lot of people, but that isn't really where the big money is.
	They're not going to change anything about the welfare state of the warfare state.
	And that's where the bulk of the money is.
	And so it's not really going to change anything that much in terms of the deficit.
	It might get some of these regulators and, you know, bureaucrats off of our back to some degree, and that'd be a good thing.
	But the fundamentals are still the same.
	And so I said, this is just a temporary dip.
	It's going to come back.
	And now here we are.
	Lowered their projections for gold, and now they're back up, talking about it getting to $3,000.
	But, you know, an interesting thing happened the last couple of weeks that we've been talking about.
	I talked about it with Tony Arderman at Wise Wolf Gold last week, and that is the gold in the London medal.
	You know, the actual physical gold, they're starting to have problems with that because so much of it's being brought back to New York, and now Asia is repatriating a lot of this stuff.
	What do you think is going on with that?
	Is that something that's going to continue?
	Is that a momentary thing?
	You're looking at central banks.
	They're buying up year after year.
	They're buying more and more and more and more gold.
	They know the dangers ahead.
	And again, Tracking trends is an understanding of where we are and how we got here to see where we're going.
	So let's go back to five years ago, 2020. January.
	On Chinese Lunar New Year, the year of the rat, they launched the COVID war.
	And I call it the COVID war because all these slimeball politicians...
	From Trump to Boris Johnson to one after another, the clown in Connecticut, one after another, we're at war.
	They called it a war when the COVID broke out.
	So what did they do?
	They pumped in countless trillions of dollars around the world of fake money backed by nothing and printed on nothing to boost the economy up.
	Brought interest rates down to zero, kept them negative, and brought them back lower.
	Right?
	That created the inflation.
	Oh, by that little slime ball, Jerome Powell and Janet Yellen, the Treasury Secretary.
	Oh, it's only transitory.
	It's only temporary, the inflation.
	It's trans-inflation.
	We had trans-inflation.
	Yeah.
	It identified as being deflationary.
	So what happened is they created this inflation cycle, but they artificially propped up the economy.
	And let's look at the danger it did.
	Hey, how about those home prices, huh?
	Oh, they've only gone up some 50%.
	That's right.
	Oh, how about automobile prices?
	Oh, they only went 39% since then.
	How about your insurance, huh?
	Oh, how about one...
	Product after another.
	One after another, prices go way up.
	Oh, but inflation's gone down a bit.
	No, it hasn't.
	It hasn't gone down.
	That's right.
	The prices are still way high.
	Oh, yeah, but it didn't go up as fast as...
	The inflation is sucking the life out of people.
	You know, the numbers came out, by the way, with the job report today.
	The jobs that are being created, the numbers are way lower than they anticipated, but you look at the jobs that are being created.
	Again, we publish it all the time.
	Health and social services.
	Retail.
	Government.
	Jobs that pay nothing and do nothing with the government jobs.
	So, we're looking now at why gold prices are going up.
	The smart people in the world know the dangers ahead.
	And then there's a geopolitical crisis going up.
	Trump coming back and forth about what he's going to do with Iran.
	Iran, by the way, is very sophisticated scientifically and militarily.
	There are 91 million Iranians versus what?
	7 million Jewish people in Israel?
	You don't have to be good at math to figure this out.
	Oh, and that's the other stupid thing coming from Trump.
	We're going to build an iron dome?
	Yeah.
	How about what happened when Iran attacked Israel after Israel killed several of their commanders in an embassy in Damascus?
	What did they do?
	They sent in loads of drones first.
	All their iron dome shot at the drones, and then they ran out of ammunition, and boom, they sent in the missiles.
	So, going back to gold, then is the Ukraine war.
	Oh, by the way, I got banned on TikTok, permanently.
	We put up a clip of me saying that, this was two weeks ago, that...
	Ukraine is going to do everything they can to keep this war going, like bombing a Russian nuclear power plant.
	Last week, they shot down drones attacking a Russian nuclear power plant.
	Why do you think that TikTok would ban you for saying that?
	I'm telling you exactly what happened.
	I had forecast what was going to happen, and it happened.
	They banned me just about four days before it happened.
	I mean, I understand they banned me and stuff because of what I was pushing back against the government's official story.
	You know, the same thing that you were doing back then.
	As a matter of fact, I had a clip, I didn't get to it today, of a guy who was in China when all this stuff began.
	And he said, I was going around.
	The hospitals were empty.
	There wasn't anything happening.
	They were telling everybody a completely different lie of what was happening.
	Of course, we had citizen journalists who were doing the same thing in New York and other places here in the U.S. But anyway, he got out of the country and he said, Scared to death everywhere that I went.
	And it's like, hey, I was there in Wuhan where this was supposedly happening and it wasn't happening there.
	But, you know, I can understand the government shutting it down when we push back against their narrative.
	But it's kind of odd.
	I wonder why they would shut that down when you're talking about what's going on with Ukraine and about these things.
	Unless, you know, there's some kind of an influence already on TikTok from our government that doesn't want to have that information out there.
	I don't know.
	Going back to China, by the way, I used to be on Hong Kong TV. I'm talking like 20 minutes, a top Hong Kong station.
	Back in 2019, there were 7.5 million people in Hong Kong.
	Over a million were taking to the streets.
	Protesting China's taking over Hong Kong and doing away with their freedom.
	And we take a break and I say to the guy, Frank, so what's going on?
	Mr. Salenti, we're not going to stop.
	The Chinese could not stop the people in Hong Kong from protesting.
	Then, in January 2020, remember this is 2019, January comes 2020, Chinese Lunar New Year, the year of the rat, they launched the COVID war and locked down everything, just like that guy was saying.
	They locked down everything.
	And you're not allowed to protest anymore.
	And that was the end of the Hong Kong protests.
	China took over.
	Speaking of Hong Kong.
	People in jail called a state of emergency and changed all the laws.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And one of our top trends for 2020, which we did in December, was new world disorder.
	There were protests going on all over the world.
	The yellow vests in France.
	In Algeria, in South Africa, all over the world, people were taking to the streets because of lack of basic living standards, government corruption, crime and violence.
	They launched the COVID war, India, but can't go out in the street anymore, get back in your house.
	Yep, yep, yep.
	Speaking of Hong Kong, what do you think is going on with Panama?
	Because the Hong Kong company owns both ends of that, is operating both ends of that and everything.
	There's a lot of pushback now from the government in Panama.
	What do you think is going on with all that?
	What's the motivation of that?
	What do you think will happen with that?
	I don't know what will happen, but remember Trump ran as a peace president?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	How about a piece of crap?
	Yeah.
	I want Greenland.
	I want Panama.
	I know, I know.
	What is that?
	What did Google now change the name?
	They call it now the Gulf of America.
	I know, yeah.
	That little peach-eyed clown.
	Google.
	Now it's not the Gulf of Mexico anymore.
	It's the Gulf of America.
	Oh, this is the Trump, by the way.
	Hey, you elect me.
	I'm going to end that Ukraine war in 24 hours.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Oh, no, no.
	Now I'm elected.
	Hey, I'm going to end that war.
	Before I even take office.
	And now it's going to be 100 days.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Where's the outrage?
	Yeah.
	Oh, here's another one.
	I get elected, I'm going to put 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada.
	He gets elected, well, we're going to make it to February 1st.
	February 1st comes, whoop, he put those tariffs on.
	February 30, took them off.
	Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
	Before you were talking about interest rates.
	How about when he was talking to the Davos gang on January 23rd?
	I'm going to make sure that the Federal Reserve lowers these interest rates.
	This is terrible what's going on.
	They're too high.
	Oh, then the Fed goes out, what was it, last week, and they kept interest rates at the same level.
	And what did Trump say?
	They did the perfect thing, keeping them where they are.
	Hey, wait a minute.
	You just said you were going to lower them.
	Oh, I'm full of crap, Soente.
	I say anything that I want to say.
	How dare you not swallow my crap?
	I'm the president.
	Hey!
	I got to tell you, man, I couldn't stand Trump.
	And I'm going to go way back.
	When I used to be on all the media back in the day, when he built Trump Towers along the West Side Drive in New York.
	These ugly, ugly, ugly, ugly, ugly things that killed all the view going into the Hudson River.
	There were beautiful Art Deco buildings all over, looking out at the river.
	He put this long line of ugly crap up there.
	Oh, and what is he going to do?
	Is he going to build the Trump Towers in Gaza?
	A valuable waterfront property?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah, it's crazy.
	Well, Neil, we just had Soros' protege, Scott Besant, who's now the Treasury Secretary.
	He did a couple of interviews this week.
	And what he is saying is, well, we want to get the long-term interest rates lower.
	Of course, they don't really have any control over that.
	That's the market that's setting that, and that's the reason why when the Federal Reserve lowers the short-term interest rates, they can do that by fiat, they can do that by dictate, but the market is looking at the long-term rates and kind of calculating what inflation is going to be.
	So even though they've been dropping the interest rates, mortgage rates haven't followed.
	And so, you know, what he's saying is, well, we want to lower those long-term interest rates.
	He doesn't really have any power to do that.
	What do you think about this guy, Scott Bessent, who worked with Soros, and what do you think they're going to do with the interest rates or the manipulations that they might do to the economy?
	What is it going to do?
	They're going to do everything they can to pump up the economy.
	Oh, by the way, we're calling for a dot-com bust.
	It's totally out of the news now.
	Go back to last week.
	What happened?
	NVIDIA lost what?
	17% of their value in one day when DeepSeek came out.
	We have in this week's Trends Journal an entire section on AI. Oh, they're banning it, by the way.
	America's allies are banning DeepSeek.
	What DeepSeek did is they created the whole The whole line was that they were going to build all these power plants because you needed them to build these NVIDIA chips.
	Right, Stargate.
	The Stargate thing, yeah.
	So now, DeepSeat came out with a chip that's much smaller.
	And rather than costing $100 million to develop an AI, they did it for $6 million.
	So this is just the beginning of it.
	You're going to see more and more development coming out of China, India, one country after another.
	And it's going to be serious.
	We think there's going to be a dot-com bust.
	Well, the market just saw that it's kind of like somebody coming out and you just were told that they're making a brand new And of course,
	Of course, the response I thought was funny from OpenAI.
	They had two responses.
	The first one was to run to the government to get money because, you know, the government doesn't care about how much anything costs.
	And then their second thing was to complain about the fact that DeepSeek had ripped them off when their whole business model is ripping off everybody's content all over the Internet.
	I thought those two responses were pretty comical.
	This is your Trends Journal when it used to be a quarterly.
	Thank you.
	Fall 1999. Dot-com this.
	Dot-com overload will short-circuit many high expectations for huge profits in internet commerce, entertainment, and a wide array of dot-com services.
	Following the holiday season, many of today's high-flying internet stocks, the hottest IPOs, and newly emerging IPO wannabes will have begun their deep descent.
	We warned that it would crash by the second quarter of 2000, which it did.
	It's the same thing now.
	Yes, we said when AI began, this thing's going to be big, it's going to keep going, but we warned that there's going to be overinvestment in speculative companies that are trying to get onto this thing.
	And they've put hundreds of billions, if not trillions of dollars of investment In startups.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Well, it's just like the dot-com thing.
	We knew the internet was going to be real, but they got ahead of themselves.
	They got ahead of their expectations.
	And then when something happens, you know, their bubble gets burst.
	And I think the same thing is happening there with the AI stuff.
	Do you have a time frame that you see this happening in?
	It's going to be sooner rather than later.
	We think it definitely happened this year.
	And again, it goes back to gold prices.
	That's another reason a lot of people understand this.
	And by the way, you talked before about interest rates.
	Let's go by the facts.
	Let's go back to 2018, December.
	It was the worst Dow since the Great Depression, 1931. At December 2018. What did Trump do?
	He forced Jerome Powell to lower interest rates, and he lowered him in January 2019. The government is in charge of the Federal Reserve.
	George Carlin said, it's one big club and you ain't in it.
	Look who our Treasury Secretary was, Ms. Facha Brut, Janet Yellen.
	What was her former job?
	Oh, she was a Fed head, and now she's a Treasury Secretary under Biden?
	So the government is in control of it.
	But like you said, though, even if interest rates come down, the mortgage rates are still going up.
	They're high because the yields are staying high because of the debt level and on and on and on.
	So it's going to be a rough game, but the Trump administration is going to do everything they can to pump up this economy.
	And, of course, you mentioned that.
	You were just talking about what happened in January 2019. By the fall of 2019, you and I were talking about the repo market and how they're pumping unbelievable amounts of money into that repo market.
	There's so many different levers that they can pull to distort things.
	That's what's truly amazing.
	And, of course, now...
	What they're trying to do with the crypto stuff, I think, is that they're trying to set up, just as we saw with the real estate crash, that was predicated off of these derivatives and these phony constructs that these con men had put together.
	Now they've got a whole slew of these things with crypto, all kinds of derivatives, and to securitize everything.
	This is going to be like the real estate nonsense, but applied to everything with these crypto guys that are around Trump.
	And I think that's a real worrying thing for me.
	What do you think about that?
	I agree with you.
	I think they're going to come up, even though he says he's not.
	But again, he says one thing and does another thing by the facts.
	Again, interest rates, the tariffs, the Ukraine war.
	He says one thing and another thing happens.
	He says he's not going to come out with a digital currency, but I believe they are.
	And I believe that...
	You mentioned about the things that they did, that they made up.
	And before I go into what we were just talking about, I thought the markets would crash in 2012. They didn't teach me about zero interest rates and quantitative easing in Economics 101 or graduate school.
	They make up anything.
	So going back to get rid of the debt level, they're going to come out with a new CBDC, Central Bank Digital Coin.
	They're going to make up something.
	We're getting rid of that dirty cash.
	We're coming out with digital trash.
	I believe we're going to go digital.
	And again, you go to China.
	It's all digitized.
	People aren't using it.
	Put your palm out and boom.
	And I think they're going to do it by de facto.
	I mean, you know, that's what Musk has declared.
	He wants a WeChat.
	He wants X to be WeChat.
	And he's doing a deal with Visa and all the rest of the stuff.
	They want to go to, you know, whether they call it a central bank digital currency or they just go to a digital currency.
	And that's what I think they're doing is kind of a public-private version of that.
	But Musk is right at the center of that.
	And I think that's a big part of why he bought Trump.
	So that he could get this stuff shepherded through.
	because, you know, he's got to get the approval of these people to run this stuff through.
	Zuckerberg tried to do a global CBDC and did a white paper.
	Remember that?
	Libra.
	And he said, this will be a de facto global ID.
	You guys will love this.
	They didn't care about that.
	But Musk needs to, he's kind of on the inside now, so he's got ways that he can move the regulatory agencies to make that happen.
	But I think it's going to come that way.
	I think it's going to come from a pseudo-private type of thing.
	It's going to create a surveillance thing.
	It's going to create controls over what we can buy.
	And, of course, they're going to get rich off of it at the same time.
	But for the government, they get their controls.
	Yep.
	What did Musk give the numbers now is $300 million he gave to Trump.
	Wow.
	Wow.
	And again, Trump changed when you're worth, what, $400 million.
	Yeah, and he went up like $200 billion off of that, too.
	Like I said, usually you buy a politician, you get $1,000 for every dollar that you spend, you know, if you're getting the right guys in there.
	Again, it's fascism, the merger of state and corporate powers.
	The billionaire is in total control of this country.
	I agree.
	And censorship is going to become much and much...
	Look what Trump did already.
	If you come out against the Israel genocide, get out of this country.
	We're throwing you out.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Well, I talked earlier in the program about CBS and 60 Minutes and that, you know, his ego was hurt by what he thought was beneficial editing for Lala Harris.
	So he sued him for $10 billion.
	And now he's weaponizing the FCC against CBS, and it's nothing.
	It's absolutely nothing if you look at the transcripts.
	All they did was they put the first part of her answer in one program and the second part of her answer in another program, and none of it was responsive, and none of it was intelligent, or, you know, there wasn't anything there.
	One of them, she was more disorganized than she was in the other part.
	But the key thing is that Trump is weaponizing the government, and he is coming, he's setting it.
	this is another silly thing like the bump stock but the bump stock was a very important precedent when it came after the second amendment this is coming after the first amendment and it's a very important precedent too I think oh no I mean You know, I had lunch with his brother, Robert, back in 2017. He died, Robert, a couple years ago.
	And I was living for about three hours.
	He had a restaurant over here in Wasaac, which is on the other side of the river over here, that he was supporting.
	Allegedly, it was one of Trump's ex-girlfriends who had the joint, but I don't know that.
	That's what I was told.
	But anyway, Robert told me that when the father died, I think it was 2002, he left the family over almost a half a billion dollars worth of real estate.
	So Trump is a daddy's boy.
	He didn't make the money on his own.
	It was given to him.
	And people forget about the dirty deals, which Robert, by the way, was an attorney, was part of.
	When they were building things out of the Atlantic City and other places, when the contractors wanted their last pay, they'd screw them out of it.
	He was famous for doing that.
	So anyway, this is going to be a dictatorship as I see it.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	That's an amazing thing to me.
	You know, you had the conservative media complain about that when Biden was doing it.
	And yet, you know, Biden did like 41 executive orders in the first 100 days.
	Trump is bragging about 200. And that's supposed to be a victory that we're being ruled by executive orders.
	I think it's absolutely insane.
	I know.
	You know, I've talked to people, even people who support Trump, and they said, yeah, it is kind of worrying, isn't it?
	You know, when I get them on to talk about it.
	The media is just cheering this as if he's some kind of a strong man with all this.
	But getting back to the gold stuff, I'm really curious about all this repatriation stuff that is there, because that's something we haven't seen before.
	And flying into that, I've talked to Tony Arterman at Wise Wolf many times about the paper gold and paper silver and stuff that supposedly is backed up at the Shanghai Gold Exchange.
	What do you think is happening with all that stuff?
	Are we about to see that there's a lot of phony stuff that really isn't there, that maybe there's no gold in Fort Knox or whatever?
	What's going on with this?
	I don't know.
	Again, we're not allowed to know what's going on in Fort Knox.
	You're not allowed to go there.
	They may have nothing there.
	Yeah, I know.
	We don't know.
	But no, I'm telling you, they're bringing in all this gold because they know how bad it is.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And they physically want to have it, as opposed to just, I mean, to me, it looks like not only are they moving to gold because they're worried about the economy, but they're also worried because they think a war is coming or something, and they're not going to be able to get a hold of that, and they're just going to be holding a piece of paper that says, hey, I've got some gold on deposit in London, and they're saying, no, I want it here.
	Bring it home.
	You know, repatriate it.
	And now so much of this stuff is happening, that I think maybe they're starting to see some cracks in this that, wait a minute, we don't have the gold that we told you we had.
	So it's a couple of different aspects to it, I think.
	Absolutely.
	You know, another thing, too, by the way, is we talked about a number of times that nobody's talking about, is the office building bust.
	Yes.
	So now, remember, the COVID war happened five years ago, right?
	So now the leases are coming due.
	Not my numbers, Moody's, your office vacancy rate, meaning nobody in them.
	At the 10 largest cities, it's 20%.
	How are the building owners going to pay off their loans when you have less tenants?
	They're not.
	There's going to be defaults that are going to bring down a big section of the banking industry.
	And now it's just starting to happen.
	Between this year and next year, again, depending on whose numbers you look at, Between $2 to $4 trillion worth of commercial real estate loans are coming due.
	No one's talking about this.
	No one.
	Again, this is the business section.
	All right?
	Major picture of...
	I mean, look at this.
	Look at this.
	Look at this.
	That's ridiculous.
	Suitable for framing.
	You know, you can cut that out and you can put it in a frame.
	Look at this.
	I know.
	Yeah, look.
	It gets worse.
	This is Sunday's paper.
	Let's go to the next page.
	Yeah.
	Look.
	His family album.
	There you go.
	It's a joke.
	So I'm telling you, people are not talking about this.
	There's no media left.
	It's gone.
	Journalism is dead.
	That's why you've got to go tonight.
	Because what you're doing, or what we're doing, We're giving people information that they're not getting anywhere else.
	I agree.
	Yeah, you've been talking about this commercial real estate thing since everything got locked down in 2020 because you have it on a regular basis.
	Let me ask you this.
	You know, as we're talking about the commercial real estate thing, one of the key things that Musk is doing and Trump is doing is like, okay, if you don't come back to work, you're fired.
	All right.
	Well, that could be just to get people out.
	But I wonder if, because so many people are following everything that Trump is doing, right?
	If Trump says, well, we're not going to do DEI anymore.
	All these corporate executives are like, me neither.
	I'm not going to do that either.
	So is part of this stuff, don't come back to work and you're fired.
	Is part of that really kind of setting a pattern to try to get everybody else to bring everybody in that's working from home to try to help against this commercial real estate thing?
	Is that kind of a tacit admission?
	Absolutely.
	That they know that this is a problem and they're just trying to set a pattern that other people, hopefully, they think will follow without them actually saying out loud what the real threat is?
	Do you think that's it?
	You nailed it.
	Yeah.
	Because, I mean, again, I was the...
	I was a chief government affairs specialist for the chemical industry back in the 70s.
	And I was killing environmental legislation at the height of the environmental movement.
	All I wanted to do was make...
	And again, I wouldn't know what I know if I wasn't on the other side.
	Yeah, yeah.
	So then I started to grow up and then I changed.
	But anyway, at 28 years old, I was staying at the Willard Hotel.
	I'm putting my meetings on at the Hay Adams, which is right across from the White House, the top lobbyist place.
	Anyway, so I spent a lot of time in D.C. I was living between D.C. and Chicago back in the day.
	I did a talk for the Rage Against the War Machine, and I think it was 2023. I hadn't been back to D.C. since the...
	1980s.
	It was a total different D.C. Homeless all over the place.
	Empty buildings.
	What Trump is doing is he's saying, get back to work.
	Yeah, great.
	You're going to bring business back to D.C. to some level.
	D.C. is a slumhole compared to what it used to be.
	Again, I spent a lot of time there.
	I was shocked when I was there the last time.
	Shocked.
	Yeah, he's doing it.
	Yeah, they're going to bring people back to work for the federal government.
	But all these other tenants are saying, I got 10 floors over here and people are sitting in cubicles.
	I don't see them.
	I don't need them here.
	Stay home.
	Come in a couple of days a week.
	People are going back Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
	Friday used to be happy hour.
	No more.
	Dead.
	Dead.
	They don't need the space.
	This isn't going to change anything.
	Yeah.
	It's not going to change a damn thing.
	Yeah, because at the same time, you know, they may be telling people, you need to come into work, but they're also looking at how they can replace government workers even with AI. And that's rolling out everywhere.
	So, yeah, for the long term, I mean, they might be able to do something short term by setting up a pattern.
	You know, they're using it mainly as an excuse to fire people, I think, but other people might do that a little bit.
	But ultimately, that's not really going to go anywhere.
	Because the pattern is to replace people.
	That's what they're looking for.
	Exactly.
	And also, very important, as I keep saying, when all else fails, they take you to war.
	We're going to have a failure in the equity markets.
	We're calling for a dot-com bust 2.0.
	They're not going to be able to fix it.
	Let's go back again when we called the dot-com bust back in 1999. Bust by the second quarter of 2000. What happened to the NASDAQ? It was down 80%.
	And then all of a sudden, the war on terror.
	Everybody forgot about it.
	Everybody forgot about it.
	We're going to get that guy Osama bin Laden dead or alive.
	90% of the people swallowed the crap spewing out that little daddy's boy's mouth, little Georgie Bush.
	Oh, and then they created the fake housing market boom.
	Got all about the dot-com bust.
	Oh, you don't have any money?
	Don't have a job?
	You're deep in debt?
	Here, sign over here.
	Subprime mortgage.
	Hey, derivatives, come over here.
	Everybody forgot about it when they launched the war on terror.
	And Trump will do the same thing, and the war he'll launch will be against Iran.
	Mm-hmm.
	Okay.
	Look what he did.
	He killed Soleimani.
	Yeah.
	Oh, he's put more sanctions on Iran again, by the way.
	Yeah.
	You know that, right?
	That's right.
	That's right.
	Yeah.
	When all else fails, they take you to war.
	Yeah.
	I agree.
	And everything is lined up to go against Iran.
	We've got to take them out for the benefit of Israel.
	Do you think that this Russia thing will go through?
	I mean, they leaked this.
	Peace plan, because already there's a lot of criticism, like we've talked about it.
	Hey, Trump said he's going to do this.
	They linked this peace plan, said, oh, by April 20th, it's all going to be solved and I think.
	Do you think that that's going to happen?
	No.
	Because here's the deal.
	Russia took over 20% of Ukraine that they didn't have before.
	They're not going to give it back.
	Yeah, yeah.
	End of story.
	Yeah.
	They're not going to give it back.
	The plan that was leaked said he gets to keep it.
	But while Trump is saying, hey, we'll give you more weapons.
	Within the same day, you get contradictory information from Trump.
	He says, well, I'll give you some more weapons if you give us a rare earth.
	But then, of course, he doesn't have.
	The rare earth areas in Ukraine are under control of Putin now.
	So, I mean, none of it makes any sense when you look at it.
	No.
	Again, they're not going to give it back.
	And yeah, like you said, they're going to say, there's not going to be a peace deal.
	And again, I believe Ukraine is going to do everything they can to ramp this up like bombing a nuclear power plant.
	And it'll get the people to support the war.
	Look what they did.
	Look what Russia did.
	They'll blame it on Russia.
	It'll be a false flag attack.
	Again, I read many times from history today.
	July 26, 1941, President...
	Mm-hmm.
	Mm-hmm.
	Yeah.
	What are the French doing in Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam?
	Oh, they're stealing their tin, their rubber, etc.
	Same thing we're doing in Syria, right, with the oil.
	They lied about the troops over there.
	Well, we're just about out of time.
	Again, folks, you can find the Trends Journal at trendsjournal.com.
	You can see a sample of it there.
	if you want to save some money you can get 10 off with the code night an excellent publication and again gerald has been ahead of the curve on all of this stuff and we're coming up into some very difficult times things are going to change very very rapidly i think it's a good time to be informed about where things are headed and again trendsjournal.com and use the code night thank you I really appreciate you coming on.
	Always a pleasure to talk to you.
	Thank you for all that you do.
	Even in bad times, it's a pleasure to take a look at this.
	And I want to say real quickly before the program ends, thank you, Dustin Helm.
	Appreciate the tip and Marky Mark.
	And we'll talk about that on Monday.
	Comment about Trump's 4D chess.
	I can't believe that we still had Kayleigh McEnany, his previous press secretary, throwing that nonsense out.
	He says they'll call it 3D or 4D chess, keeping their enemies closer.
	Yeah, that's exactly what they're calling it.
	Still throwing that nonsense out.
	Thank you, everyone.
	Have a great weekend.
	And we'll hopefully see you on Monday.
	The Common Man .
	They created common core to dumb down our children.
	They created common past to track and control us.
	Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing.
	And the communist future.
	They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
	But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
	That is what we have in common.
	That is what they want to take away.
	Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
	They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
	It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
	Please share the information and links you'll find at TheDavidKnightShow.com.
	Thank you for listening.
	Thank you for sharing.
