	In a world of deceit.
	Telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
	It's the David Knight Show.
	As the clock strikes 13, it's Wednesday the 12th of February, year of our Lord 2025.
	Well, we're going to take a look today at judicial supremacy, because this is what is going to determine whether there's going to be any change whatsoever.
	We see judges shutting down Trump's executive orders left and right.
	So, where does the real authority lie?
	That is the true constitutional crisis.
	Yeah, the MAGA people are laughing about the fact they say, well, it's a constitutional crisis.
	There's been a constitutional crisis for a very long time.
	This might be a good precedent if they push this through.
	And establish and rebalance the balance between powers and the federal government.
	We're also going to take a look at what happened with the meeting yesterday about Gaza with the Jordanian president.
	And what were the reactions afterwards from himself and from other people after this meeting?
	Is that going to go through?
	And we'll look at Doge.
	They are now talking about, well, we need to find out how these bureaucrats who get hundreds of thousands of dollars...
	Well, J.D. Vance has warned about the weaponization of AI, and it's something we all need to be very concerned about.
	Of course, he said this in a context of appearing before a European group and trying to convince them not to put restrictions around American technology.
	And so there were a lot of assurances there.
	Are these empty promises?
	He said, AI is being weaponized to rewrite history, to surveil, and to censor speech.
	Seems to me like I've seen that happening not just in Europe, but in America as well.
	He's calling on the nations of the world to ensure that artificial intelligence has now become a tool for government-imposed censorship, encouraging the embrace of what he calls a new industrial revolution.
	Sounding similarly like Klaus Schwab.
	Of course, his masters are the ones who are running this whole thing.
	People like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk and all the rest of them, they're the ones who seek to...
	Install this AI surveillance of technocracy.
	And of course, when we look at artificial intelligence, what does it do?
	It imitates, doesn't it?
	It's not creative.
	It doesn't have any original ideas.
	What it does is it imitates.
	It surveils for the purpose of manipulation.
	It gives us propaganda.
	Bias is built into it.
	It feeds us lies.
	And so when we look at this, imitation, manipulation, Lies?
	Does it sound like satanic technology?
	Yes, it is.
	It is.
	It absolutely is.
	It has satanic values if it isn't built and operated by Satan.
	And who knows that it isn't?
	Because it's all being done by governments and by people who run the government who, quite frankly, if you look at what they do, it looks like they have sold their soul to the devil.
	As much, if not more so, than the music stars who openly say that.
	Yeah, I made a pact with the devil, whatever.
	Politicians would not say that, but their actions say it very loudly.
	Vance addressed the world leaders at the AI Summit in Paris, stating, and we're going to talk about the other Paris Accord.
	Can anything good come from Paris?
	These Jacobins, we saw the Olympics.
	But, of course, the whole 15-minute city thing began in Paris.
	Brainchild of that Marxist mayor there.
	I think she's from Spain or something.
	Haldalgo is her name.
	And so, you know, this is an outsider who is imposing communism on them as if they needed any help.
	Going back to the French Republic and the Jacobins that were there.
	But, no, the 15-minute city, that's what the yellow vests were all about.
	And then, of course, we have the Paris Climate Accord.
	Here is the Paris AI Summit.
	Vance said that the U.S. feels, quote, very strongly that AI must remain free from ideological bias.
	Well, maybe you need to take a look at all the chat, GPT, and all the rest of these programs.
	They spend a lot of money hiring people at essentially minimum wage to put bias into these things.
	It's built in at an expense with humans.
	He says it needs to be free from ideological bias and that American AI will not be co-opted into a tool for authoritarian censorship.
	First time I used ChatGPT.
	I've added a few questions about the pandemic, about vaccines, about climate.
	It's like, I'm not asking it any more questions.
	I don't care if it can design circuits.
	I don't need circuits designed.
	I need the truth.
	I need the truth about these other things that are out there.
	So if it's going to lie to us about these fundamental things, I'm not interested in it.
	I can use it to make crazy pictures.
	I can certainly imagine strange things.
	Anyway, when we hear him talk about this, it's going to be free from ideological bias.
	It will not be used for authoritarian censorship.
	Propaganda or lies, any of that kind of stuff.
	These are just platitudes.
	This is not the reality.
	Vance's masters, as I've said before, Teal, Musk, people like Alex Karp of Palantir, they use it for these other purposes.
	It is pure evil how they intend to use this stuff.
	The vice president voiced concerns about reports that some foreign governments, foreign governments, not the U.S., of course, Are considering tightening the screws on U.S. tech companies with international footprints.
	And that's why he was talking about this.
	And these foreign governments will be doing all this bad stuff, but it won't be done by America.
	Not America.
	Although he didn't mention China or its new AI entity, Deep Seek by name, Vance said, quote, foreign hostile adversaries, quote unquote, have weaponized AI software to rewrite history, surveil users, and censor speech.
	It's only the foreigners who do that, of course, not us.
	He said some authoritarian regimes have stolen and used AI to strengthen their military intelligence and surveillance capabilities to capture foreign data and to create propaganda to undermine other nations' national security.
	Well, other than, you know, stealing it, stealing AI, those are all things that we've done.
	And it's all things that Sam Altman wants the government to do.
	And of course, it kind of rings hollow to talk about how somebody stole his AI program when the whole purpose of AI is to steal intellectual property from actual humans all over the place.
	Every bit of intellectual property.
	Your thoughts.
	Whatever you say.
	Not just things like movies and books and films.
	But it trains itself on that.
	Reproduces it.
	He says, this administration will block such efforts full stop.
	Well, the United States is certainly using AI to strengthen its military, isn't it?
	Using it to strengthen its intelligence and surveillance capabilities against us as well, not just against foreign actors, against us.
	And we'll talk about that with Palantir.
	The Trump administration will ensure that AI systems developed in America are free from ideological bias and never restrict our citizens' right to free speech.
	We can trust our people to think and consume information.
	Is that why they put all the bias and lies in there about the pandemic and the vaccine and climate and on and on and on, all of your core agendas?
	Yes, you'll tell us the truth that there's only two genders.
	And everybody, oh, well, that's good.
	These guys are on our side.
	It's called a con game.
	They have to tell you the truth about some things in order to get your confidence so they can lie to you about what really matters to them.
	That's the way these con games work.
	We allow our people to develop their own ideas and to debate with one another in the open marketplace of ideas.
	Uh-huh.
	Yeah, I hear you.
	Well, tell that to Vance.
	Vance, tell that to your masters.
	Peter Thiel and the guy that, you know, he was J.D. Vance's mentor.
	And, of course, Peter Thiel founded Palantir.
	And there, Palantir, we've got Alex Karp, and I just played this for you the other day, how Alex Karp was talking about, he's ecstatic because he's making so much money there, Palantir, and he gets to do exactly what he loves to do, which is to murder people.
	We're doing it!
	We're doing it!
	And I'm sure you're enjoying this as much as I am!
	Let's not talk to analysts about the burden of being right.
	Our burdens of investing in ontology.
	Our burdens of actually looking at the math.
	Palantir is here to disrupt and make the institutions we partner with the very best in the world.
	And when it's necessary to scare enemies and on occasion kill them.
	And we hope you're in favor of that.
	We hope you're enjoying being a partner.
	And we're really happy and very, very focused on what we're doing.
	Well, who are his enemies that he wants to scare and to kill?
	On occasion.
	When it's necessary.
	And we're doing it.
	We're doing it.
	Well, he's talked in the not-too-distant past about campus protesters who are protesting the actions of the Israeli government.
	And he thinks it is very important to shut down that free speech.
	How about that, Vance?
	You think that that is something that is what the U.S. government should be doing?
	Or farming out?
	To a military industrial complex contractor like Palantir?
	What I think is an often overlooked part of this battle is we kind of just think these things that are happening across college campuses especially are like a sideshow.
	No, they are the show.
	Because if we lose the intellectual debate, you will not be able to deploy any army in the West ever.
	And of course our adversaries...
	That's right.
	Now, if they lose the intellectual debate, Then they won't be able to do pandemics with us.
	They won't be able to take everything, all of our food, all of our appliances, all of our transportation, our clothes.
	They won't be able to take all that away in the name of climate change if they lose that intellectual debate.
	So it really is about the First Amendment.
	The First Amendment was first for a reason.
	The Second Amendment is important, but not as important as the First Amendment.
	I've seen the shirts.
	I've even got one.
	George Washington didn't defeat the British by out debating them or whatever, right?
	He used firearms.
	But look, the pen is mightier than the sword, and we know why that is.
	Because the pen turns the hearts and minds of people.
	And then how are they going to use those swords?
	Why would they use them?
	Would they just surrender them?
	Would they surrender to the lockdowns and all the rest of this stuff?
	And so, look at Palantir saying, this is the war.
	Forget about trying to find the terrorists abroad and threatening them, scaring them, and killing them.
	Let's threaten, scare them.
	Who knows?
	Maybe kill people here domestically as well.
	People whose speech we don't like.
	And now we've got the Trump administration saying that if you criticize a foreign government, then that's a hate crime.
	That's what it is.
	It's not anti-Semitism.
	It's a hate crime.
	And, you know, it's a criticism of a foreign government, rather.
	They want to call it anti-Semitism.
	They call it hate speech.
	And again, as I've said, you should never have any hate crimes.
	Because you don't have the ability to discern that with accuracy.
	You need to, you can look at motives.
	That's something that has always been looked at in conjunction with something that somebody actually does.
	But now they treat your speech as if it were violence.
	They say that over and over again.
	And so people are being locked up for speech.
	That's the way you get there.
	And that's the way they're getting there now.
	Now, if I'm going to be convicted for hate speech when I criticize a foreign government, I wonder if that foreign government is governing our government.
	Don't you think they are?
	Does it necessarily follow?
	Why would our government make it illegal to criticize a foreign government and, of course, make it a penalty to disobey their agenda when it comes to lockdown and all the rest of this stuff?
	I want to play for you something that I did a short clip that I did a week after the election.
	It was November the 10th, 2020. And it was in response to what had been done on, you know, this is coming back.
	The Monday after the election, and I think it was the Monday, it was either the Monday or the Tuesday, because it was something that was brand new.
	And what had happened was, you had the election, then on Saturday they declared Biden the winner, and then on Sunday, 60 Minutes had a canned piece about how the military was going to deliver all the vaccines and track all the vaccines.
	And then we saw a Wall Street Journal talking about a program that had been set up called Tiberius.
	And Tiberius was going to be tracking the people who got the vaccines and the people who didn't get the vaccines.
	Because we had seen the forums go out in August of 2020, and it was all this information about you personally, when and where you got the vaccine, and the lot number.
	But then there was also something there that said refused.
	Oh, so you're tracking the unvaccinated as well as the vaccinated, right?
	And, of course, the only thing they wanted to do to track the vaccinated, really, you know, the only information that they had there that was medical was a lot number.
	We subsequently found out that the concentration of active ingredients varied from 3 to 100, and I forget what the measurement was.
	It varied by a factor of 33, and they found that the lots where it was the highest was where you had the instantaneous adverse effects.
	This is not due to just normal variation from person to person taking a drug.
	No, they were rolling this stuff out and testing it with different concentrations to see where the threshold was.
	But, again, this is Tiberius, and it was for the military-industrial complex to roll out and to track these vaccines.
	And I said, you know, it's kind of interesting because Tiberius was the second emperor of Rome, that empire.
	I said, this is kind of like the second shoe to drop along with 9-11 because 9-11 and Dark Winter were launched right at the same time.
	As a matter of fact, Dark Winter was two weeks before 9-11.
	9-11 helped to usher in the surveillance and police state.
	And we know...
	what this second version was used to usher in.
	Yeah, Tiberius, our second generation emperor.
	Yeah.
	Well, you know, don't you just love the military-industrial complex and all the tough talk?
	No, I'm going to tell them to execute it.
	I'm going to get it out there in 24 hours.
	I'm going to be able to track this everywhere.
	That's right.
	And we know exactly where this stuff is.
	I'm going to bang my fist on the table.
	I'm going to say, where is that shipment there?
	Get that out there to those people right now.
	Don't you just love that tough talk from the military?
	Don't you just love the military industrial complex?
	Don't you just love the empire we have become?
	Founders of this country understood that when we became an empire, the use of the defense forces that protect us abroad Would return and turn on us.
	And now the military has crossed the Rubicon, just like our political class.
	You are the enemy.
	They begin with economic sanctions, this war on the American people, on the middle class.
	Sanctions to destroy the middle class, to destroy our freedom, destroy our human dignity.
	And now it's come to this.
	We've got some more clips about this.
	Yeah, let's talk about the next move.
	You know, I said, when I watched the 60 Minutes, And I said,
	I thought it was interesting that it was named Tiberius.
	Because Tiberius was the second emperor of imperial Rome when Rome became an empire and got rid of being a republic, and this is now our second false flag.
	I don't know.
	But then it got even more significant because I noticed that Wall Street Journal was bragging about the fact that it's Palantir, Palantir, that the military has signed on to do the tracking for the COVID-19.
	State, local health officials, and the military.
	Now, this should not come really as a surprise, because Palantir's entire business model, since they were created by funding from the CIA and In-Q-Tel, they were created by the CIA, and their major contractors have all been the military and the surveillance state from the very beginning, and they're very conscious about the analogy that they use.
	They call themselves Palantir because they're a data mining company.
	And they talk about the Hobbit and the Shire, and they have all these different things in their headquarters, and of course, if you remember the Lord of the Rings, the Palantir, with the crystal balls, and you can even see that in their logo, crystal balls that were used by the kings to communicate with each other, and then it got hijacked by the dark side.
	Maybe it was Dark Winter when that happened, I don't know.
	The dark side, Sauron hijacks that, and then with the Palantir, if you look into that Palantir, he can look into you, right there.
	You remember that from the movie, right?
	They can look into you.
	And that's what they're doing with their data analytics.
	They're looking into you.
	Now they're the company, of course, that's been tapped to track this.
	And, you know, Palantir does consciously like to name their products after what they're really designed for.
	And they were the ones who named the system Tiberius.
	Significant names and a nod to what this is really about, the Empire.
	And, of course, if you point out the Empire, the Empire has no clothes, you'll be attacked by the mob rather than thanked.
	By the mob.
	You know, that's the difference in the fable and reality.
	If you point and say, this guy funded Operation Warp Speed, tens of billions of dollars, and now the election's over, he's not stopping it.
	If you do that, the mob of fans of the emperor with no clothes come after you.
	That's right.
	They don't like that.
	They don't like you pointing out that their emperor has no clothes.
	Yeah, well.
	I said that about how Trump had set up Palantir to track the vaccines that he had created that he continued to cheer until even six months into his re-election campaign.
	They don't like you to say that.
	They don't like you to see that Trump had set up the tracking of vaccination status.
	That was also done by Biden.
	MAGA didn't want to hear it.
	Alex Jones didn't want to hear it either, and I knew that.
	I knew he hated what I had to say just as much as the MAGA people did, because that's where he's going to make his money, drifting the MAGA people.
	Well, KWD68 says, is AI being ideological?
	Well, it's time for an executive order.
	We've got to shut that down.
	Yeah, I'm not worried.
	Well, I am worried about the DEI, but we can take care of that ourselves.
	ourselves i'm worried about the cia that's what i'm worried about and the intelligence community the military industrial complex uh eric thank you very much for the tip and gustav slob syben thank you very much for the tip he says take a look david it's a war between national freedom and international slavery Well, that's true.
	And he's got a website there, us.europathelastbattle.net.
	Europaathelastbattle.net, but it's us.net.
	So, yeah, while they're watching us, these watchers, interestingly enough, want us to watch.
	They want us to be spectators.
	And there was an excellent article by John Stillman on Brownstone.
	He says, how do we forge a spectator class?
	That's what they want us to be.
	They want us to be the spectator class.
	And we've heard Carl Rowe say that.
	We are history's actors.
	We will act and you will analyze and you will talk about it.
	While you're analyzing and talking about it, we'll do the next thing.
	And then you can react and analyze to that.
	Do we want to get stuck in this trap?
	This is what they want us to do.
	And we've heard the same things from Yuval Harari.
	He wants you to be taken out.
	He wants you to sit there and watch porn and play video games and watch TV and watch sports and take drugs and just leave them to do what they want to do.
	They want to create a spectator class, a pacified spectator class.
	And so, Josh Dillman said, My father could disassemble and rebuild a car engine in our garage.
	I, like many of my generation, was steered toward the civilized path.
	White-collar work, climate-controlled offices, and an increasing detachment from the physical world.
	While I grew up loving sports, memorizing baseball stats with religious devotion, and finding genuine joy in games, something fundamental had shifted in how men engage with athletics today.
	In dimly lit rooms across the nation, millions of men gather every weekend adorned in jerseys bearing other men's names, not as a compliment to their own achievements, but as a substitute for them.
	Let me repeat that.
	These people devote themselves to watching sports, not as a compliment to their own achievements, but as a substitute for any achievements of their own.
	He said, a growing segment of young men face an even more insidious form of spectator culture, while their fathers at least watched real athletes achieve real things.
	Many young people now idolize social media personalities and content creators, becoming passive observers of manufactured personas who achieve fame primarily by being watched.
	They can recite influencer dramas, gaming achievements, but they don't know the stories of Solzhenitsyn.
	They've never built something with their own hands.
	The virtual.
	Has replaced the visceral.
	The parasocial.
	Has replaced the personal.
	History shows us a recurring cycle.
	Where are we in this cycle?
	And interestingly enough, you've heard this analogy before.
	And it breaks down into the four generations that Strauss and Hal were talking about in the fourth turning.
	Hard times create strong men.
	That's the first generation.
	Second generation.
	Strong men create good times.
	Third generation.
	Good times create weak men.
	And the fourth generation.
	Weak men create hard times.
	And it repeats again.
	It's a cycle.
	The cycle of history.
	Hard times create strong men.
	Strong men create good times.
	Good times create weak men.
	And weak men create hard times.
	Where are we?
	Well, we're the tail end of that fourth one.
	We are in the fourth turning, the tail end of the fourth turning, where weak men create hard times.
	That's what we are.
	You are there.
	We're all there.
	That's the overall system that we all have to live in, regardless of our individual variations.
	Our sophisticated entertainment serves as a digital opiate.
	And they've openly said that's what they want.
	Yuval Harari.
	Yeah.
	We're going to use it as a drug.
	Keeping the masses content while their capacity for meaningful action atrophies.
	You know, this is beyond bread and circuses.
	This is beer and circuses.
	Super Bowl weekend.
	This transformation is not accidental.
	He says, as I explored in my engineering reality series, the systematic reframing of physical fitness as problematic represents a calculated effort to weaken societal resilience.
	Major media outlets like the Atlantic, you know, who they work with and for.
	They work for the they work for NATO and the globalist there.
	And NBC, of course, have published pieces linking physical fitness to right wing extremism.
	While academic institutions increasingly frame workout culture as problematic, even gym ownership has been characterized as a potential indicator of radicalization.
	This erosion of self-reliance extends far beyond fitness, though.
	A friend who's spent decades as an auto mechanic recently confided to me that he's grateful to be nearing retirement.
	He said, these Teslas, they're not even cars anymore.
	They're computers on wheels.
	That's what Eric Peters calls them, devices.
	Devices.
	When something goes wrong, you don't fix it.
	You just replace entire modules.
	And he told him, he said, what was once a, that's what he said when you just replace entire modules.
	His comment is, what was once a craft that any dedicated person could learn has become an exercise in supervised dependency.
	Klaus Schwab openly predicts that by 2030, LA will be private car driven free.
	And of course, so does Elon Musk.
	Elon Musk is showing this picture.
	It's silent, but for those of you watching it, you can see the cyber cab.
	It has two seats in it.
	It has no steering wheel, no brakes, no gas pedal.
	It will drive you everywhere.
	He's getting ready to roll this thing out.
	There they show it, navigating its way across a couple of planks and so forth.
	And Elon Musk says he's going to get rid of it.
	Why is it that when Klaus Schwab...
	It says exactly the same thing as Elon Musk.
	Klaus Schwab is bad, but Elon Musk is good.
	Or we ignore it for Elon Musk, and it's the same thing that we do with Trump.
	Trump says or does exactly the same thing that Biden does, and we ignore it.
	Elon Musk does exactly and says the same things that Klaus Schwab says, and we ignore that.
	Klaus is a villain.
	Musk is a hero.
	Trump is a hero.
	Biden is a villain.
	Even though they say and do the same things.
	Even Klaus Schwab openly predicts that by 2030, L.A. will be private car driven free.
	Just a fleet of self-driving Ubers.
	Or perhaps Teslas.
	You won't fix anything anymore because you won't own anything anymore.
	The COVID response revealed this agenda was striking clarity.
	While liquor stores remained essential businesses.
	And why would they be essential?
	Look at Soviet Russia.
	Vodka, alcoholism, became epidemic.
	It was one way for people to try to cope, and they openly encouraged that.
	Churches, however, were shut down at the very beginning.
	And this is what happened during the Trump shutdowns, isn't it, as well?
	And the Trump shutdowns, and it was even upheld by some of his Supreme Court justices who worked along with the leftists.
	And they said, no, you can open up the casino.
	Towards, after this has gone on for a while.
	Alright, we'll let you open up casinos now.
	But you can't open up churches.
	And so, some people held a church service in a casino.
	How's that?
	Are we allowed to do that?
	No.
	No.
	PBS said the number one most dangerous thing you could do would be to go to church.
	But he focuses on liquor stores versus gyms.
	He says liquor stores are essential businesses.
	While authorities closed beaches, parks, and gyms, the very places where people might maintain their physical and mental health.
	What about the churches where you maintain your spiritual health and your mental health as well, which is downstream from your spiritual health?
	No, we've got to definitely close that.
	He said isolation over community, compliance over resilience, pharmaceutical dependency over natural immunity.
	You know, when you look at their paradigm, you got this virus, right?
	They've got virus.
	Oh, we haven't isolated them, but we have determined that they exist somehow.
	And so let's assume that that's true.
	And let's assume that the purpose of the vaccine is to train your immune system with something that is dead or weakened, so that your immune system will remember, recognize, and attack the real thing when it encounters it.
	So it's just a training operation.
	Now, what is it when you get sick with something and you recover?
	Well, that means that your immune system has identified a real threat and shut down the real threat.
	And so that's like telling somebody who, let's say the early days of dogfights, somebody learned to fly a plane, somehow they got involved in some dogfights, but they hadn't been to school to learn how to do dogfights.
	You know, that was a thing.
	Somebody had to do it first before they could teach other people how to do it, right?
	So they get into dogfights and they are very successful.
	And they win time and again.
	And then the military says, well, yeah, the problem is, though, you can't be a fighter pilot because you haven't gone to training yet.
	We need to have you go to some simulation games about this stuff.
	Of course, our military today would do exactly that type of thing.
	That's exactly the type of thing that they would do and send them to DEI training as well.
	But that's the absurdity of this.
	If your body has fought off some disease according to their paradigm, it has learned that.
	But no, we heard exactly the opposite, which made no sense whatsoever.
	Fauci said, no, no, no, natural immunity.
	You can't have natural immunity now.
	Well, if you can't have natural immunity, then the vaccines aren't going to work.
	Maybe that's why they don't work, right?
	Maybe everything about that paradigm is wrong.
	Nevertheless...
	He said, true masculinity has never been solely about physical strength.
	History's greatest examples of masculine virtue weren't just men of action.
	They were men of principle, wisdom, and moral courage.
	He says, from Marcus Aurelius to Omar Little, I have no idea who Omar Little is, but I do know the Lord Jesus Christ.
	He was meek, but he was not weak.
	He set his face like Flint to go to Jerusalem, even though he had just told his disciples he was going to be killed there.
	He laid down his life for his friends, for you.
	And when he set his face like Flint, you know, that is not unlike Flint.
	They picked that up.
	Why they picked that up?
	Well, because Flint is tough.
	We want to have a spy in like Flint.
	We want to have a spy who's tough.
	Now, what is it about Flint?
	Well, think about the Flintlock, right?
	It was something that was used in the early days for weapons, but when they used it for the Flintlock, they used it because it could be struck again and again and again.
	And it was tough.
	They would use that spark after striking the Flint again and again and again.
	So Christ took the repeated blows.
	He was tough.
	He was durable.
	He wasn't weak.
	But he was humble and meek.
	That's your example.
	But he did more than just provide an example for us.
	He provided a way for us to get right with God.
	He says, consider how many men today silently acquiesce.
	The policies they know wrong.
	How many men embrace narratives that they privately doubt?
	How many submit to institutional pressures that violate their conscience?
	This is why I focus so much on Solzhenitsyn's live not by lies.
	That's what people needed to hear.
	They need to hear that in 2020. Oh, it's just 4D chess.
	Trust the plan and all the rest of this stuff.
	Yeah, right.
	Yeah.
	Trump is lying to them.
	But don't worry.
	He's on our side still.
	Maybe he's lying to you.
	If somebody's a liar, they'll lie to both sides.
	But, yeah, you need to not live by lies.
	You need to not live by double-think.
	You must not look at this and say, look at how bad this vaccine is.
	And we see that.
	Whether it's W&D or whether it's Breitbart or on and on, zero-hedge, you name it.
	All of these people, they will talk about how evil the vaccine is.
	And they will never connect it to Trump.
	Give him the credit he demands.
	Don't live by lies.
	Don't embrace this double-think that the vaccine is bad, but the guy who gave it to us and brags about it is good.
	During COVID, we watched as men who understood the importance of natural immunity, outdoor exercise, and community bonds.
	Nevertheless, Enforced policies that harmed their neighbors and their families.
	They chose institutional compliance over moral courage, career over civic duty, majority approval over personal conviction.
	And folks, this is what the media is about.
	I see it everywhere.
	So few people.
	So few people will tell you the truth.
	They will tell you what is in their interests.
	And that's especially true now of the alternative media.
	Just as bad as MSNBC and CNN. So, real strength, he says, is not found in anonymous aggression or digital posturing.
	He says, I learned this firsthand during COVID when I spoke out against the vaccine mandates and became a pariah for defending personal choice and bodily autonomy.
	Well, I went a little bit further.
	I attacked the poison that Alex was calling sugar water.
	While numerous brave keyboard warriors attacked me online, he said, One incident stands out.
	A friend forwarded me a Reddit thread where someone had posted personal information about my family and me, trying to dox them, hoping to incite harassment against me, all because I stood up for bodily autonomy and opposed arbitrary biomedical segregation.
	The initials, though, gave it away.
	It was my own neighbor, someone I had known for years.
	When I confronted him in person, this digital lion transformed instantly into a cowering mouse.
	I've seen the same thing with Alex Jones.
	These tough guys.
	Yeah, you want to fight?
	You got one.
	What did he do?
	He rolled over for Trump.
	Give me a break.
	Civilizations thrive when diverse virtues work in concert, he said.
	And what he's talking about is husband and wife.
	Mom and dad.
	You have builders and nurturers working together.
	You have protectors and healers.
	You have strength balanced with empathy.
	That's why God created us differently.
	Today's systemic erosion of both is not random but calculated.
	As men are steered toward passive consumption and women, away from their intuitive wisdom, both are replaced by institutional authority.
	A nanny state.
	That attempts to fill both roles and achieves neither role.
	Well, that is absolutely the truth.
	And, you know, we saw this in the Super Bowl, didn't we?
	And let me give you an example.
	This is from the Super Bowl.
	This is a Mary Sue fantasy of football.
	The Mary Sue Fantasy Football League.
	Take a look at this commercial.
	This is a woman who's going to show these tough guys.
	A woman of color, by the way.
	Who's going to show these tough white guys what's real.
	Let's settle this once and for all.
	Your best guy?
	Girl.
	Whatever.
	Versus our best guy.
	You think DEI is dead?
	Oh, not the Brad.
	I'm Brad.
	I can read.
	So she's going to show up this huge guy.
	He can't lay a hand on her. - Oh!
	Neither can anybody else.
	Leave the past behind.
	Buy Nike gear and you'll be just like her.
	Yeah, superhuman strength.
	How many times is Hollywood and Madison Avenue going to sell us that lie?
	Well, you know, here's the real reality.
	Yeah, the NFL flag football.
	NFL flag football.
	Yeah, let's let women and men play together.
	Well, here's the reality.
	Kyrie Kill runs back a punt return against 40, 40 female football players, and they can't play a hand on him.
	Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
	Yeah, yeah, okay.
	There's fantasy football and reality football.
	Two different things.
	So the first one was from the NFL. And they do not want to get rid of DEI. The other one was the reality.
	And then this was a commercial.
	That was a Super Bowl commercial.
	And talking about life.
	Harrison Ford.
	The longest thing we ever do is live our lives.
	But life doesn't come with an owner's manual.
	Might have been nice, huh?
	But that means we get to write our own stories.
	Oh, that's right.
	Let's just stop it right there.
	I saw that and it's like, oh, life doesn't come with an owner's manual.
	Yes, it does.
	It comes with a manufacturer's manual.
	It's called the Bible.
	Basic instructions before leaving earth.
	You have an owner's manual.
	If you throw the owner's manual away, then you can just do whatever you want, right?
	That's what they're selling you.
	Follow your dream.
	You're not responsible to anybody or anyone.
	You'll answer to God someday.
	That's the reality.
	And here is an Irish teacher who has been punished for standing up to the transgender ideology and asks, why the church?
	Has betrayed its Christian faith because he was teaching at a nominal Christian school run by the Church of Ireland.
	They call themselves Christian, but they're not.
	They don't follow Christ.
	They don't follow his rules.
	They've thrown out the owner's manual, right?
	Say, we're going to do it our own way.
	We don't care.
	You don't own us, Christ.
	This is the Church of Ireland running this school.
	That's why I call them nominal Christians.
	I say, or Christian.
	Well, Christian name only.
	Enoch Burke, an Irish teacher who is Christian, has been persecuted by the state for standing up for children and for his Christian beliefs.
	His crime was to refuse to call a child they-them and to return to his place of work while the appeal for his dismissal is waiting to be heard and for this so-called crime.
	He has spent more than 500 days in jail, over three stints.
	And he now faces fines of over 190,000 pounds.
	That's $236,000.
	More than a quarter, well, nearly a quarter of a million that he has to pay in fines.
	He was suspended and later fired from the church's school after refusing to address a pupil.
	See, the church is not only not defending him, the church is his persecutor.
	We're at the point where the nominal Christian denominations have become the persecutors of Christians.
	And of course, that's where you'd expect it to start, isn't it?
	If you look at history.
	So he is fired from the school after refusing to address a pupil who was undergoing so-called transitioning to appear as a different gender with the chosen pronoun and the new name.
	And following his suspension, he continued to show up to the school in an attempt to teach lessons, resulting in court injunction that barred him from the school grounds.
	His brother said judge after judge has refused to vindicate and uphold his constitutional right to freedom of religion and expression.
	What about my beliefs?
	See, you're going to dominate me, and you're going to tell me that I have to say that 2 plus 2 equals 5. That's what this is all about.
	Orwell knew that.
	Enoch Burke's ongoing imprisonment.
	is the true face of the so-called inclusive LGBT movement.
	This is a sincere, upright Christian teacher arrested and imprisoned after simply refusing to endorse and to affirm transgenderism, an anti-Christian ideology that entraps vulnerable children and puts them on a fast track to abuse, mutilation, depression, and sadly for so many, Suicide.
	Suicide.
	Well, when we come back, we're going to talk about freedom and how that really is necessarily religious and how you cannot separate that out.
	North American House Hippo says, My employer has put dozens of electric buses into service.
	We're instructed to give the bus two minutes to boot up.
	The instructions on how to start the bus It runs four pages.
	Better follow those instructions.
	You don't want to start that thing burning.
	That's not a good thing at all.
	Well, I would imagine that this is going to be short run.
	With any luck, while it is charging, one of these things is charging and nobody's around.
	With any luck, it'll spontaneously combust and take out the bus stations, as it did in Stuttgart.
	And I think Munich did it.
	Two German cities.
	It did it in France.
	We got pictures of a French bus that just pulled over to let people get on.
	It spontaneously combusts at the top.
	So make sure you've got some fireproof clothing.
	We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	Well, let's continue on with this, and let's talk about the church and the political order.
	You think it has a place in the political order, in terms of freedom?
	You know, I had a lot of people who had put up, I'm a Christian, I'm a libertarian, on Twitter, in the days when I wasn't shadowbanned.
	Somebody put something under one of my posts and said, you know, did you know that you're shadowbanned?
	I said, yeah, of course I know I'm shadow banned.
	I have been for years.
	It's quite obvious.
	I mean, especially because, you know, you look at the number of people that have even seen what you put up.
	Not the number of people that liked it or retweeted it.
	Just how many people have seen it.
	Just look at somebody who's got a post that maybe doesn't have that much engagement on it, but, you know, they might get a few thousand views on it and maybe they've got 10,000 people or something.
	I've got just under, well, 138,000 or something like that.
	And, you know, I might have 100 people see the tweet.
	And people who have 1,000 followers might, you know, get that amount.
	So, yeah, heavily shadow banned.
	And I said, well, you know, you can get rid of that.
	It's like, why would I even bother on Musk's Twitter?
	You know, if he'd either shadow ban me again or ban me completely, if he saw my tweets there.
	So, you know, I would just put it up there.
	If whoever God wants to see it, they'll see it.
	I believe in God's sovereignty, so, you know, I'm not desperate to try to get myself in front of a lot of eyeballs there.
	But I'd have a lot of people back in the day when I wasn't shadow banned, a lot of people would say, how can you be a Christian and libertarian?
	And I said, well, that's why I called it libertarian.
	Because I'm about liberty.
	I'm not about the libertarian party.
	You know, we used to call people who wanted freedom, they used to call them liberals, and the liberals, the people we call liberals today stole that, like they steal everything.
	They steal your money, they steal your rights.
	So they stole the name liberal from people who wanted liberty.
	And then had to come up with another name, libertarian.
	But, of course, the LP is pretty libertine as well in terms of trying to divorce liberty from a moral foundation.
	I don't think you can do that.
	I don't think these two are opposed to each other, being libertarian or Christian.
	So, in fact, I don't think you can.
	You have to have both of those.
	You can't have liberty away from Christ.
	Freedom is in Christ.
	Outside of Christ, you are enslaved to whatever it is that you serve, whether it is money or power or sex or drugs or whatever.
	You've got an enslavement to that.
	But it's also the fact that the founders of this country understood and said, we have a form of government that will only be able to be sustained if the people are moral.
	And so this article from Kevin Shroom, an American reformer, says, the ancient question, What has Athens to do with Jerusalem?
	In other words, if Jerusalem would represent in the old days a metaphor for a spiritual center and Athens would represent the political, you know, what do the two have to do with each other?
	So we used to need God, but now that science and modern medicine, this is the argument, right?
	We used to need God, but now that we got science and modern medicine and we got AI, we don't need God anymore.
	We've been set free from the need to believe in God.
	We believe in science and self and in the state.
	Yeah.
	And what will take Christianity's place, he says?
	Well, it's not going to have its place taken by atheism.
	No, you're going to serve someone.
	You're going to worship something.
	You know, the heart is an idol factory.
	If you look at Bob Dylan, during his short Christian phase, he said, you're going to serve someone.
	You're going to serve something.
	We're always out there looking for something to idolize, aren't we?
	So he said, it's going to be a new paganism.
	As many people have pointed out, the return of the so-called strong gods of antiquity.
	Mysticism, the dark arts, and scientism is a part of that.
	Science as a religion, not as a thought process, not as a way of proving the physical reality of something, or of disproving something that somebody has said.
	That's equally important.
	No, no, no.
	We're not going to look at data.
	You can't see the data.
	You can't see the data from Fauci.
	You can't see the data from Pfizer.
	You can't see the data from Michael Mann.
	You can't see the data, period.
	You just do what they have to say.
	It's an argument from authority.
	These are the people who are our high priests.
	And whatever they say, we must follow.
	The ability to refashion human nature, in other words, to make a biological boy into a girl, to even turn men into gods, or basically to create life without having two parents, being able to genetically modify a baby, hatch them, and so forth.
	This is playing God.
	And when you look at this, The whole aspect of, well, we're going to join with machines, and we're going to become cyborgs, as the Baphomet billionaire Elon Musk wants us to believe.
	And we're going to become powerful.
	We're going to merge with AI and the robots.
	And we're going to live forever.
	That's what he's selling.
	That is the transhumanism.
	But, of course, transgenderism is an important part of that.
	If you can become a different sex.
	Which you can't.
	And what they do is they mutilate people.
	They butcher people.
	It's a Frankenstein approach.
	And all of this stuff about brain-computer interfaces and the singular and all the rest of the stuff, this is heinous Frankenstein type of science.
	The kind of freedom that is often pursued these days is dangerous and elusive.
	It's dangerous because once it is obtained, it's often misused and abused.
	Freedom turns to vice if it is not disciplined.
	That's why the founders talked about happiness.
	When they talked about happiness, it wasn't just a, oh great, I feel good today.
	No, no, no.
	They were talking about happiness in the philosophical and the rhetorical world in which they lived.
	Happiness was about achieving a state of virtue.
	It wasn't just about Satisfying whatever your animal instincts were.
	No, it was about pursuing virtue.
	True freedom begins by being set free from sin.
	Set free for a relationship with God and Christ, reminding us that he is God, not us.
	The original bondage is the bondage to sin.
	Made in God's image, we have stiff-armed God.
	We have sinned against the one who made us.
	Sin brought spiritual death, alienation, bondage, spiritual confusion.
	A disconnection from reality.
	If you disconnect from God, you have disconnected from the ultimate reality.
	In his infinite mercy, God chose not to leave us in bondage, but sent his son, the God-man, Jesus Christ, on a rescue mission.
	He died a substitutionary death, was buried, raised from the dead.
	Knowing these truths and knowing the person of truth sets us free from sin, from death, from future judgment.
	True freedom comes from truth, forgiveness, and spiritual liberation.
	You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
	Freedom in Christ sets us free from the main bondage we experience, and that is the bondage of thinking that we are God.
	That's exactly the opposite of what they paid big bucks to have Harrison Ford tell you.
	Life doesn't come with a manual.
	Figure that all out yourself.
	Well, no, actually, it does come with a manual.
	And if you know Christ, you also get a helper.
	Rather than the false freedom of play, God, we're set to free our true selves in Christ.
	So, he talks about this in terms of the founding of America.
	And he talks about it in terms of horizontal freedom.
	He says true freedom doesn't terminate in personal, individual freedom.
	Personal freedom is not a spiritual cul-de-sac.
	When a person is set free in Jesus Christ, they long to be free in other ways as well.
	Politically, economically, educationally, socially.
	One freedom follows another.
	And this is why anti-Christian and anti-God cultures hate the gospel.
	Cultures like North Korea, China, India, you name it, right?
	They seek to suppress it.
	Why?
	Because politicians always want to see, of all people, politicians want to see themselves as God.
	They don't want to have any competition.
	But they also don't want people becoming free.
	They want you to be controlled by them.
	For example, America can claim a Christian founding because the earliest settlers desired the freedom to worship God according to the dictates of their own conscience.
	Without unwarranted government intervention.
	Yet this led to more than just worship.
	It led to settlement.
	It led to societal development.
	It led to the Protestant work ethic because of the belief that God has honored by the use of our freedoms an effort to build something, to create something, to fulfill the dominion mandate of Genesis.
	America was and is a unique experience in human liberty.
	Because the freedom that produces and builds rather than tyranny, authoritarianism, and all-encompassing government.
	That was the mindset of the people there.
	You know, when people argue, was America a Christian nation or whatever?
	It was, this is not to say that the politicians were Christians.
	Some were, some weren't.
	It's not to say that the people who wrote down these basic philosophies were Christians.
	Some were, some weren't.
	But Christianity pervaded.
	American society at the time, just as this kind of spectator paganism, hedonism permeates our society today.
	It's a very different society.
	America is not anything like the America that was gifted freedom by God, because that's the other part of it.
	It's not a spiritual cul-de-sac, but it's also not something that we do ourselves.
	Our spiritual freedom, as well as these other horizontal freedoms, are gifts from God.
	That was something that was acknowledged by our founders.
	So America was and is a unique experiment in human history because of that freedom that produces and builds.
	America was not a Christian nation in that it was a theocracy, like Israel was a theocracy.
	However, it was and is.
	Let's hope that I don't know.
	I don't think that it is anymore.
	A Christian nation and that its DNA was Christian from the outset.
	Its founding principles were Christian.
	In brief, objective, vertical freedom in Christ led many to seek freedom on horizontal levels.
	Political, economic, social, educational.
	This is why the Declaration of Independence says we hold these truths to be self-evident.
	That all men are created equal.
	By the way, it holds that the Creator is also self-evident, doesn't it?
	And that is true.
	We understand that the things that we see were created by things that we do not see.
	We understand there had to be an intelligence behind the creation of things as complex as us, even as complex as our DNA. It has to be a creator.
	It is self-evident, isn't it?
	And that we're endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
	The self-evident God and the self-evident God-given truths form the basis of the pursuit of a free society that is productive.
	That is why you can't separate these things.
	Well, when we return, we're going to talk about ego and vanity.
	We're going to talk about the ego and vanity of this administration.
	In particular, what is going on in Greenland and also Canada, Panama?
	What is this obsession that Trump has with this?
	Well, there's an interesting op-ed piece out of RT, and this is a foreign perspective.
	A lot of people have guessed as to what the motivations are of Trump.
	Why is he so focused on Greenland, Canada, and the Panama Canal and so forth?
	And we've seen explanations.
	Well, you know, it's the ten districts that the Club of Rome had and all the rest of the stuff.
	They have a different idea for that.
	And that's what we're going to talk about when we return.
	and we'll be right back.
	Thank you.
	you you You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	We were talking during the break.
	The whistler said the worship of academia is the opposite of science.
	Yeah, that's Francis Bacon.
	Contrasted the scientific method that he came up with, with academia.
	Any critical thinking or actual science is taboo to these people.
	You've got to follow their dogma blindly or you are anti-science.
	Yeah, and that's from the very beginning.
	I've always said science should always be skeptical.
	school.
	Because people don't have perfect knowledge, and knowledge is always increasing, and so you see science changing as well.
	And so science is never settled, and if you ever hear anybody say that science is settled, ignore them.
	They don't know the first thing about science.
	Jason Barker, Hollywood does not specialize in telling a story anymore.
	It's all about normalizing a narrative.
	Yeah, isn't that interesting?
	You know, it's the perfect place for them to sell narratives, isn't it?
	Because they're selling you a narrative story.
	And I used to live in that world, and I guess I should, you know, always the question was, are we manipulating society?
	And I would hear them talk about this, because I would go to these Video Software Dealer Association.
	Conventions and stuff.
	We would go there to see the latest shelving or whatever.
	They would also have movie stars like Charlton Heston there signing autographs and stuff like that.
	I'll tell the story.
	We were at one of these things and of course they got all these people around there promoting their movies and some of them were pretty big stars and some of them were not.
	I was there with Karen and I'm talking to her and over her shoulder I see Dr. Dean Adele, who I knew from the Today Show.
	He was a guy who I didn't really pay that much attention to.
	But I don't remember what he was.
	Health issues or something like that for the Today Show in the morning.
	And I would catch him sometimes a little bit.
	But I knew who he was.
	And he's sitting there and there's nobody around him.
	And he's on a bench.
	And he's got a video that he wants to hawk, right?
	And I saw him, and I'm like, Dr. Dean Adele.
	And Karen turns around and she says, who?
	She had no idea who this guy was.
	And when I says, Dr. Dean Adele, his face lit up.
	It's like, finally, somebody's recognized me.
	And then she goes, who?
	Who?
	Who is he?
	And his whole face just sunk again.
	He's by himself yet again.
	But we would go to these things, and You know, they would talk about coming DVD technology or whatever in the days when everything was VHS. And it was, you'd hear some of these people would talk about, you know, they were aware of what they were doing.
	Aware that, because we have people, just like I confronted that guy about, well, you've got DVD, you've got the technology to produce airplane versions, cleaned up versions of stuff so people can watch it.
	With their family and not be offended and embarrassed and things like that.
	No, no, no.
	We don't want to do that.
	Other people would say, why don't you focus more on family entertainment?
	Why are you making all this stuff R-rated or worse?
	Look, we don't set societal values, they would say.
	We are reflecting what you are.
	No, they weren't.
	No, they weren't.
	They were the tip of the spear.
	They were moving things.
	They were the ones who were the movers, the shakers, the narrative builders.
	They absolutely were.
	And since then, I've heard some of these people talk about, some of these writers talk about how they would lay on a couch and they would maybe take some drugs or whatever, and they'd just kind of channel these narratives.
	It's like, where do you think that's coming from?
	You think that's satanic?
	I do.
	I do.
	And, of course, a lot of them, you get a lot of this predictive programming that is out there.
	Oh, look at this.
	Hollywood made a movie about this exact false flag or whatever that the government is pushing on us.
	Contagion or whatever.
	You know, they made all these movies about this stuff in the past.
	Well, the CIA had a website for that.
	They would work with Hollywood.
	And you could see the public.
	If you're somebody who creates stories or you're a screenwriter or something like that, we've got a lot of great stories for you.
	Come to us and we'll give them to you.
	Or we'll help you to develop an idea.
	We'll make it more interesting.
	They put themselves out there to help with that stuff.
	You want to talk about a satanic group channeling evil?
	That's the CIA right there.
	That's their job description, I guess.
	As far as I'm concerned, that's their job description.
	Octospook.
	How long before the sexually mutilated children grow up and realize what's been done to them and strike back with a vengeance?
	Well, some of them have already started.
	With the lawsuits.
	So some lawsuits have already been filed.
	And it may get worse than that.
	Who knows?
	Brian and Deb McCartney.
	It has always been about indoctrination rather than entertainment.
	But they hit it and they did it much better in the days gone by.
	That's right.
	You can see all that stuff.
	You can see it.
	And if they wanted to push you in a particular direction, first they would take the taboo and they would make a comedy out of it.
	Right?
	Whatever was the taboo that they wanted to erase, they would make it funny, and then they would, so you're laughing at this thing, right?
	And then they make it sympathetic.
	And then before you know it, they're giving you a narrative that this is superior to the way that you are.
	That's always been the way they would run it.
	Risha M. I was wondering how much Donald Trump charges for Mar-a-Lago membership.
	$200,000 to hang out there.
	That's crazy.
	Well, you know, I'm getting a little bit ahead of myself where I was going to bring this in, but since you brought that up, this interesting thing appeared.
	Somebody got a picture of that.
	This is a goat, and it looks like it's covered with bills.
	If you look closer at those bills, it's a $100 bill with the image of Donald Trump, and it's plastered.
	All over that goat.
	And here's a collage of what some people put up.
	The one where Trump is looking in the mirror and what he sees is a goat head in a suit.
	The satanic stuff.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, $200,000 to get you in there.
	The internet reacts to a golden-hoofed Trump cash-covered goat idol at Mar-a-Lago.
	The statue covered in $100 Trump bills that say, in Trump we trust, replacing in God we trust.
	I don't know.
	You know, they keep making these idols.
	They keep setting him up as a savior, as a chosen one, and all the rest of the stuff.
	And then when you call him out, no, no, no, we're not worshiping him as God.
	Well, if it looks like it, it smells like it, it walks like it.
	That's what it is.
	It is idolatry.
	But let's talk a little bit about Greenland.
	And who better to bring it to us?
	It's a miserable place to live.
	So what is this about?
	This horrible place to visit and a miserable place to live.
	Only 56,000 people there, but massive amount of land, a lot of resources there, and I've said all along.
	So is Trump going to bribe these 56,000 people to sign on to become America, you know, to assert their right of self-governance?
	And pay them off with our money, and then turn the natural resources over to his buddies?
	There's an interesting op-ed piece on RT from Konstantin von Hofmeister.
	What's his name?
	Hofmeister.
	Von Hofmeister.
	A political-cultural commentator from Germany.
	Author of a new book, Multipolarity.
	And so, his take on it is a little bit different.
	He says, here's why Trump really wants to get his hands on Greenland.
	And Canada.
	And Canada.
	He says, in a world caught between ecological limits and technological ambition, the revival of long-dormant vision of the technate.
	When he talks about the technate, he's talking about what we call the technocracy.
	But he's really, you know, technocracy is a form of government.
	He's talking about the technate as being the people, you know, the...
	You know, the people, all these billionaires, Amazon, Jeff Bezos, and you've got Apple's.
	I think Tim Cook was there.
	I know that Sandar Pichai was there from Google.
	And, of course, Musk and all the rest of them, all lined up.
	Zuckerberg, Meta, and Facebook, they're all lined up there.
	I've never seen that before.
	The Tech Night billionaires.
	The long-dormant vision of the technate suggests that America's future may be shaped not by traditional geopolitics, but by the pursuit of industrial autarky, resource control, and the promise of a self-sustaining technocratic order.
	And of course, this is something that has been talked about in a great deal by the Huxleys.
	Grandfather of Aldous and Julian Huxley.
	Aldous Huxley gave us Brave New World.
	Julian Huxley coined the term transhumanism.
	And their grandfather, Todd H.G. Wells, who gave us these ideas of technocratic rule in terms of things to come and the movie, the shape of things to come.
	I forget which one's a book and which one's a movie.
	The grandfather of Elon Musk, Joshua Haldane, who was in Canada.
	He was brought up on charges, tried, beat the rap, and beat it out of Canada, went to South Africa because of all this stuff.
	So it was really the vogue in the 1930s that the technocrats were the ones who should rule everything.
	So getting back to this op-ed piece, he said it was an unexpected move.
	Bewildering, bewildering.
	Analysts across the globe, after securing victory in the election, Trump did not immediately focus on the perceived strategic rivals like China, Russia, or Iran, as the geopolitical forecasters had so confidently predicted.
	Instead, his gaze settled on Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal.
	Territories that at first glance seemed disconnected from the expected choreography of American foreign policy ambitions.
	A lot of people were saying, what is this about?
	You didn't talk about this.
	I voted for him.
	I didn't vote for him to take over the Panama Canal or Canada or something like that.
	Well, he was owned by the technocracy.
	That's what they want.
	This pivot raised a chorus of speculation and debate many theories put forward, yet among the multitude of explanations, only one has managed to weave together the strands of Trump's apparent unpredictability into a coherent narrative.
	This theory traces the logic of these moves back to a long-forgotten vision of the technocratic society that emerged in the early 20th century within the United States.
	The roots of this idea, known as the technate, lie in the vision of a society governed not by politicians or financiers, but by lawyers, but of course I guess that's being redundant for the politicians.
	Not governed by politicians or financiers, but by scientists and engineers, guided by the principles of efficiency, technological mastery, and resource optimization.
	And again, that is key with the things to come, or the shape of things to come.
	And H.G. Wells, I think, he lays that out precisely.
	In the worldview of early technocrats, economic systems based on arbitrary currencies and speculative markets were seen as chaotic relics of the past.
	They wanted to get away from currencies.
	They wanted to get away from stock markets.
	They wanted to get away from these economic systems and the politicians.
	Instead, they proposed that energy itself, measurable and quantifiable, should serve as the basis for all economic transactions.
	And, you know, really, there was a kind of an echo of that.
	When Henry Kissinger, one of these globalists, if ever there was one, One of the key globalists, when he created the petrodollar, what he did was he whetted the fiat currency of the United States and Bretton Woods, too.
	He whetted that to energy, in a sense.
	But these people were saying, no, no, we're just going to price everything in energy.
	Think about how they want to, with digital surveillance, They want to look at all of our transactions and all of our economic activity in terms of how much energy is used.
	It isn't about emissions, folks.
	That's nonsense.
	And we've talked about that over and over again.
	No, it's about measuring what you do with energy.
	When you look at the CBDC objectives, or if they do it in some kind of a de facto manner, where they surveil our economic activity, They're surveilling our use.
	That's what the carbon tax is about.
	It's a tax on your energy use, and this is technocratic in its essence.
	So they propose that we would just look at energy and energy use.
	That would be the way that we price all activity.
	It should serve as the basis for all economic transactions, which is what they're talking about.
	Forget about the, look, CO2 and methane.
	Oh, that's just smoke.
	To get you confused, it's really about measuring your energy use.
	The technique would thus become self-contained and self-sustaining entity where wealth is defined by the availability of natural resources.
	Hence, they want to have their own personal power stations for their companies and for themselves, of course.
	It required a very particular environment, one with abundant natural resources.
	Advanced industrial infrastructure and a population trained to navigate the demands of highly mechanized society.
	The ideal setting, according to the early technocratic theorists, was North America, with its vast mineral wealth, fertile lands, and unmatched potential for hydroelectric and for industrial power.
	Canada, with its rich deposits of metals and minerals, and Greenland, with its untapped resources of rare earth elements, were integral to this vision.
	The Panama Canal was a lifeline connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and it would further ensure the region's strategic autonomy from global supply chains.
	Musk's indirect connection to this vision adds an intriguing twist to the story.
	Musk, known for his futurist ambitions and his technological ventures, is the grandson of the former director of the Canadian branch of Technocracy, Inc.
	An organization that once propagated these very ideas before its activities were curtailed by the Canadian government.
	As I said, Joshua Haldane is brought up on charges trying to overthrow the government.
	And he got out.
	Whether Musk consciously channels this legacy or not, his influence within Trump's circle has evidently revived interest from the concept of a self-sustaining North American technique.
	From this perspective, Trump's desire to acquire Greenland and to secure control over the Panama Canal becomes less of an eccentric detour and more of a calculated step toward fulfilling a technocratic vision that has long been dormant but never entirely forgotten.
	And I think this is true.
	I think this is a more focused explanation of this than the Club of Rome in the Ten Regions.
	I always said from the very beginning, I thought it was about the resources, and I thought it was about giving the resources to his friends.
	And when you stop and reflect on what the technocracy has always been about, and the fact that Elon Musk and Peter Thiel, I mean, they have, Peter Thiel funded the Singularity.
	Elon Musk is an evangelist for it.
	The Singularity Society, they have an annual thing.
	Ray Kurzweil is featured as a speaker there all the time.
	You know, we're going to merge with the machines and all the rest of the stuff.
	That's what they mean by the singularity.
	When you look at these guys, these guys are dyed-in-the-wool technocrats, transhumanists.
	And it's in his DNA. It's in his family.
	And it's not just a political idea.
	It's a spiritual idea.
	And it's got some real spiritual connections with it.
	You know, nothing to...
	Think about when you see him wearing a Baphomet costume and so proud of it that he makes it his profile picture for about two years.
	Most political analysts saw that his rhetoric about Canada and Greenland is either bluster or opportunistic real estate maneuvering.
	Yet, when viewed through the lens of technocratic theory, a different logic emerges.
	The energy-intensive industries that would power a new era of American greatness require access to mineral reserves, to hydroelectric power, to strategic shipping routes.
	Canada's vast natural wealth, Greenland's potential as a future resource hub, and the Panama Canal's role as a vital artery of trade are not peripheral concerns.
	They are central to the construction of a modern technique.
	And everything about it.
	All of this, you know, we're going to have a global idea.
	Global currency is going to measure your energy usage.
	Not about emissions.
	Again, that's a smokescreen.
	By 2025, it seems key figures in its administration have recognized that achieving this vision would require more than tax cuts and deregulation.
	It would demand the strategic acquisition of resources and infrastructure beyond America's current borders.
	Assets that could anchor a new era of technological and industrial expansion.
	The technate is not merely a speculative idea, but it is a pragmatic blueprint for securing national prosperity, an increasingly multipolar world.
	Now, having said that, I know the Trump fans will...
	I put some truth out there that I know that they're going to say, see, he's a genius.
	He's on our side.
	He's going to make America great again.
	And he's going to do it by establishing a technocracy where everything that we do is measured in terms of the energy usage and controlled on that basis.
	Isn't that wonderful?
	Don't you love it?
	It's great because it's Trump.
	Now, if it was Klaus Schwab, it'd be bad.
	But if it's Trump or Musk, that's good now.
	And so, it is the self-interested technate.
	Folks, this is elitism on steroids.
	It is Satanism on steroids.
	And yet, you have the MAGA people.
	They're masquerading this as making America great again.
	And these satanic elites will do this with the help of useful idiots like this guy, Representative Buddy Carter.
	Out of Georgia.
	A Georgia congressman has moved to help Trump acquire Greenland.
	He wants to rename Greenland Red, White, and Blue Land.
	This is not the Babylon Bee.
	This is what you would expect from a Babylon Bee headline.
	This is for real.
	He's introduced this bill in Congress.
	He calls it the Red, White, and Blue Land Act of 2025. He's introduced a bill in Congress.
	Now, so far, he just introduced this.
	He introduced it yesterday.
	So far, he doesn't have any co-signers.
	But I'm telling you that if Trump looks at this and likes it, he'll get co-signers.
	They will kiss the ring.
	He introduced a buddy Carter, introduced the bill on Tuesday, proposing Greenland's name be changed to Red, White, and Blue Land.
	America is back and soon will be bigger than ever, he said.
	President Trump has correctly identified the purchase of what is now Greenland as a national security priority.
	Let me just say this for all the newbies and naive people out there.
	Whenever they talk about national security, they're not talking about your security.
	They're not talking about making you safe.
	They're not talking about making Americans safe.
	It has always been.
	National security became the primary directive of government, continuity of government, and all the rest of the stuff, right after World War II ended.
	National security has always been about saving them and letting the rest of us die.
	You know, they got their place as Raven Rock, their underground...
	Continuity of government is really what they're talking about with national security.
	It's not...
	Yes, it's like the education stuff, right?
	The education department, public schools, it's not about educating people.
	It's not about teaching Johnny how to read, write, and do arithmetic.
	No, it's about, it's an instrument of societal control.
	National security is an alibi for them to make government secret and to spy on you and to do whatever they wish to.
	Create any kind of war abroad, any kind of assassination or coup abroad.
	That's all under the rubric of national security.
	It's not about your security.
	It's antithetical.
	National security is antithetical to your safety, to your security.
	It's antithetical to America.
	So, so far nobody has joined on to this.
	Greenland, this is what the bill says.
	That he's introduced.
	I mean, this is a real thing.
	This is not the Babylon Bee.
	This is Fox News reporting this, okay?
	It's really hard to tell.
	Even Babylon Bee didn't come up with something this ridiculous.
	Quote, Greenland shall be known as red, white, and blue land.
	Any reference in a law, map, regulation, document, paper, or other record of the United States to Greenland shall be deemed to be references to red, white, and blue land.
	This is almost like a satire of Trump renaming the Gulf of Mexico.
	And I imagine Trump will not sign on to this if all it is is about the name.
	If he had put something in there to authorize money for the purchase or the bribery of citizens who are there.
	The bill has no co-sponsors as of Tuesday evening.
	But Trump wrote in December of 2024, says Fox News, he wrote, for the purposes of national security and freedom throughout the world, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity.
	Because, you know, Trump is the United States of America, right?
	He didn't do a poll to determine that.
	No, it's what he thinks.
	So that's what America is about.
	At the beginning of February, the Danish Prime Minister...
	A firm that Greenland is, quote, not for sale, unquote, but said she was open to the U.S. increasing its footprint in the Arctic region.
	She said, I totally agree with the Americans of the high north, that the Arctic region is becoming more and more important when we are talking about defense, security, and deterrence.
	And it is possible to find a way to ensure stronger footprints in Greenland.
	The United States already is there, and they can have more possibilities.
	And again, it's not about even opposing the Russians.
	After World War II ended, they had 10,000 people at that base that they still have, but they've drawn it down now to 200 from 10,000.
	It's not an issue of even defense, military defense.
	She said, at the same time, we are willing to scale up from the kingdom of Denmark, and I think NATO is the same.
	So, if this is about securing our part of the world, we can find a way forward.
	It would be interesting if that became a...
	Point of division between the U.S. and NATO to get us out of NATO. But when we talk about renaming it, right, red, white, and blue land, the teeth have come out over the Gulf of America.
	This is a big ego thing with Trump, a big ego thing with him.
	When he was holding his press conference, again, doubling down on Gaza, and we're going to...
	Kick the people out of there permanently and all the rest of the stuff.
	When he was doing that on Air Force One, on his way to the Super Bowl after playing golf with Tiger Woods, he's got a big sign off to the side with the only things labeled on there is Gulf of America.
	Gulf of America.
	Yeah, there you go.
	Show that.
	Yeah, there he is as he's holding his press conference.
	Gulf of America.
	Established 2025. It doesn't say that.
	I don't know what the fine print there says.
	I can't read it.
	But nevertheless, Gulf of America.
	He's got that there while he's talking to the press.
	Well, we had an AP reporter that was barred from the White House over their refusal to use the term Gulf of America.
	The AP said Tuesday the White House barred its reporter from an event with Trump after the news agency refused to adopt his executive order renaming the Gulf of America as the Gulf.
	The Gulf of Mexico is the Gulf of America.
	The AP condemned the move as a violation of press freedom, while the White House Correspondents Association called it unacceptable.
	The White House Correspondents Association.
	This is like a trade guild.
	They also have a say over who's going to show up, be allowed to get into the press room.
	But, you know, the AP has its style sheets, right?
	And the AP has done this type of thing as well.
	They are very zealous about particular terms.
	They will take the high ground in terms of a debate by labeling things.
	For example, as I've said over and over again, you are not allowed to talk about somebody being pro-life.
	According to the Associated Press, they must be labeled as anti-abortion rights, or the AP will not pick up your story and propagate it out to other people.
	Essentially, shadow ban you, right?
	You have free speech, but you don't have the reach, because the Associated Press is something that so many news outlets would subscribe to.
	So they said, we were informed by the White House that if AP did not align its editorial standards with Trump's executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America, that AP would be barred from accessing an event in the Oval Office.
	This afternoon, AP's reporter was blocked from attending an executive order signing.
	And so they say in their style book, again, they've got a style, same place where they say, well, you will refer to people as undocumented migrants.
	You will not refer to them as illegal aliens.
	You will not call them anchor babies.
	You will call them children of undocumented immigrants or whatever, right?
	The AP says in its style book that the Gulf of Mexico has carried that name for more than 400 years.
	And as a global news agency, the AP will refer to it by its original name.
	Well, you know, Google Maps and Apple programs, they have looked at it and they said, well, depending on what jurisdiction you're in, if you're in the United States, we will relabel it on the fly as Gulf of America.
	If you're anywhere else in the world, we'll call it Gulf of Mexico.
	But the White House...
	They said, cannot dictate how news organizations report the news, nor should it penalize working journalists because it is unhappy with their editors' decisions.
	But isn't that what AP also does?
	Associated Press does that.
	The White House would not allow me in, for example.
	I had somebody contact me just last week and said, why don't you try to get in the White House?
	I said, well, first of all, stay in Washington, D.C. The place has a stench of death about it to me, and oppression, but I said they would never accept me.
	They'd never accept me.
	I couldn't get into the press conferences, even when I was working for Infowars in 2016, and Alex was doing everything he could to cheer on Trump.
	They wouldn't let me into Washington press briefing.
	His press secretary, I wonder personally, I can't even remember what her name is.
	But she was there the whole four years, and she wouldn't let us in.
	And so the White House doesn't want me there.
	The White House press corps, that guild, they don't want me there.
	I'm persona non grata there.
	Even PayPal doesn't want me in.
	But look, you're not going to get through that.
	It's censorship all around.
	And so it is interesting, the way Breitbart put it, they said AP wines.
	AP wines.
	Well, you know, I think they got a legitimate beef, you know, but the White House has done that to everybody.
	You know, they don't like your reporting, they don't put you in.
	And they can have any arbitrary reason that they don't like.
	And the same thing is true of the Liberal Reporters Guild that is there.
	If they don't like you, you don't get in either.
	Most news organizations, including Reuters, call it the Gulf of Mexico, although, where relevant, The Reuters style sheet is to indicate the context about Trump's executive order.
	In other words, they'll refer to it like you see people with X, right?
	First it was Twitter, now known as X. Then it becomes X, formerly known as Twitter, that type of thing.
	But, you know, so this is the little war of words.
	Trump, however, has a plan to build 250 statues of American heroes, as he calls it.
	And Reason took this on because they don't like the expense.
	It would be extremely costly and unnecessary, they say.
	It would be known as the National Garden of American Heroes.
	This is the essence of what I see.
	Like I said, I don't want to go to Washington, D.C. I'll be more than happy if I never get anywhere close to that place again in my life.
	I can't stand everything about it.
	It's got all the worst aspects of a large, congested city.
	Combined with all the worst aspects of a large congested government.
	But when I go to, the last several times I went to D.C., I said, this place is so depressing.
	I can look around, I can see statues to Washington or to Jefferson, but it's like a mausoleum where not only have these people died, but the concepts of liberty have died.
	And the whole thing was like a big cemetery.
	To liberty.
	And because it doesn't live there anymore.
	And so, I understand why Trump is doing this, of course.
	It's very important to the left to tear down statues, right?
	That's why they've been doing it so much.
	Black Lives Matter and other things.
	They're going around all over the place, doing it in the UK as well.
	Throwing statues down, destroying them, throwing them into the sea.
	As I've said before, that's one of the last stages.
	Of a successful revolution, as you get to tear down all of the markers and monuments to civilization past.
	And so I understand that this is a reaction to it.
	They don't really address that and reason.
	They address the cost.
	One order Trump signed would prioritize the construction of 250 statues of historical figures and a garden in which to put them.
	And I'm sure one of them is going to be Donald Trump, don't you think?
	It'll be doing his butler pose or something.
	They've already got a big statue about that, but I'm sure it'll be a reproduction of that statue, maybe on a smaller scale, maybe on a bigger scale.
	Who knows?
	But again, D.C. is nothing but a graveyard of liberty and monuments to liberty that has died.
	And so, you know, maybe he'll put a gigantic Baphomet goat there and cover it with $100 bills.
	I don't know whose idea that was, but, you know, that would fit in there, wouldn't it?
	So, that's exactly the type of thing that he would do.
	Guard Goldsmith, good to see you there, Guard.
	Liberty Conspiracy, you can find him on Rockfin and Twitter on weekday evenings.
	He says, given the wasteful nature of the feds, how about changing the name of Greenland to Wasteland, T.S. Eliot style?
	Yeah, that's right.
	Debtland.
	How about that?
	Debtland.
	We're going to go into even more debt to buy Greenland, so we can call it Debtland.
	Audi, Modern Retro Radio.
	Good to see you, Audi.
	I'm going to put together a little side-by-side clip of your interview with the guy who does the James Brown impersonations.
	But that was an interesting interview, and it's good to see you.
	It's good to see you there with your YouTube video.
	Anyway, he says, Not a doubt in my mind that the transhuman agenda is the devil and his followers plan to have a blissful eternal life without Almighty God.
	It is a fool's errand.
	It absolutely is.
	And it's based on the oldest lie, right there at the very beginning of Genesis, telling Adam and Eve, you will become like God and you'll live forever.
	Just do what is forbidden.
	North American House Hippo.
	The cost to purchase, based on $100,000 per citizen, Greenland could get it for $600 billion.
	It's a steal.
	You don't even have to blow up the buildings.
	It's already a wasteland.
	A horrible place to live.
	A miserable place to live.
	A horrible place to visit and a miserable place to live.
	Canada, based on $100,000 per citizen, costs us $4 trillion.
	Oh, that's just...
	You know, we blow through that.
	And, you know, just under a year.
	Mexico, $12 trillion.
	Just print it.
	Yeah, that's right.
	You don't even need to print it.
	We're not going to have physical cash anymore.
	You know, that's the other thing.
	We talk about the penny.
	It's also the nickel.
	The nickel costs twice as much to make as its value.
	And the response to all that is, so what?
	I mean, do you use it once and throw it away?
	Well, maybe you do it with the pennies.
	I mean, I used to, when the boys were young, every time we would go to some amusement park or some historical area, they would have these penny smashers, right?
	And you'd put it in there and smash it and give them a little metal that was an imprint reminder of where they had been.
	But you generally don't dispose of pennies that way.
	So, you know, they typically remain in circulation for quite a number of years.
	And in the past, we've always addressed this when the metal content It became too expensive.
	And I looked at the mint when I talked about this.
	The prices have gone up about 25% for the penny, for the nickel, for the quarter.
	And they've gone up about 25%, just a little bit under that, for the dime in just the last year.
	So it is rapidly escalating, or maybe...
	What is happening is the dollar is rapidly losing its value.
	That's what we need to be concerned about.
	We keep seeing these real indications of what real inflation are.
	They have rigged that metric like they do every other metric.
	When they talk about employment, when they talk about COVID cases or bird flu cases or inflation, everything that they tell you is a lie.
	And it's an absurd lie.
	Absurd in its totality.
	And its absurdity is just so far out from what the truth is.
	And so when we look at this, the question is, is that a real measure of inflation?
	The cost of printing the pennies and the nickels and the quarters and the dimes?
	Is that the true cost of inflation?
	Perhaps it is.
	They play these types of games by saying, well, We've got computers, and look, the prices remain the same, but look at how much faster they are, or some other metric like that.
	Or look at how much more the hard disk drive can hold, and now it's at the same price.
	So therefore, it's effectively cheaper, and they use that as a game to bring down the rate of inflation.
	They're lying about that.
	But always in the past, what did we do?
	Well, they stopped making the penny out of pure copper.
	Or the dime out of pure silver.
	And so they make them as a cheap base metal.
	It's called the basement of the currency.
	And they would make it out of a cheaper metal and put a thin veneer of the other stuff on there and hope that you didn't know the difference.
	But rather than doing that, that would be the response if they're getting too expensive to do.
	But rather than do that, Trump has decided that he'll get rid of the penny.
	So on the same basis as people were saying yesterday.
	What other things is it going to get rid of?
	If you get rid of the coins, what you're going to be doing is making it very expensive for people to use paper currency.
	Now, the paper currency, it might cost, you know, for the lower denominations where they don't do as much anti-counterfeit things, you know, a dollar bill costs way under a dollar to make and so forth.
	So they're not even close to the cost.
	But are you going to start rounding stuff up to the dollar?
	If you do, you're not going to want to use cash, right?
	It's going to be one way to discourage people from using cash.
	I remain a skeptic, and I remain concerned that this is the first move towards the elimination of cash.
	And I'm serious about that.
	As I said before, I think the analogy is the bump stock.
	The bump stock in and of itself was not important.
	Neither is the penny in and of itself.
	Not important.
	But it's the precedent in establishing us on this path.
	To be able to do gun control by executive order.
	To be able to say that, well, because it costs too much to print the money.
	Physical money.
	Well, then let's just stop it.
	And we'll just issue credits.
	Because that's the way the quantitative easing.
	They didn't print a bunch of bills.
	They just put the digital credits on the computer.
	And I played it when Jerome Powell was talking about that.
	Well, you're going to print more money?
	Well, we don't actually print it.
	We just put credits on the computer.
	Because I talked about it.
	I said, you know, try to visualize how much the $3.5 trillion that Trump put in there to assuage people, to move the Overton window.
	I said, you know, if you were to stack freshly printed $1 bills, you know, they're nice and flat, and you stack them, you could get them as far as to the moon and a good ways back.
	That's how much that was.
	So, you know, sometimes use those analogies.
	You know, the kind of thing.
	Your intestine is so long that if you were to eat lunch in New York, you could have a bowel movement somewhere in New Jersey or Maryland.
	I don't know what it is, what it works out with.
	That type of thing.
	Just try to visualize that.
	No, don't try to visualize that.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	Liberty.
	It's your move.
	And now, The David Knight Show.
	I want to take a moment here and thank people who have sent us contributions by mail.
	We talked about Zelle, and I'm now behind again on Zelle, so we'll do that, as well as Cash App.
	I'm behind on Cash App.
	But I want to thank people for...
	These are checks that were sent for the first week of February that we picked up and have now entered, and we've updated the gas gauge.
	We're about a quarter.
	Thereby, I want to thank Russ and Terry P., John W., Christopher M., Mark C., H.D. from North Carolina, Mary N., Stacy P., Joel B., Lloyd P., Bruce W., Timothy W., Heidi W., and Marty K. Thank you all so much for supporting us.
	That's what keeps the program going.
	And a nice note here from Stacy.
	As I do the severe cold, I've been very busy fixing things.
	Therefore, I'm behind on my monthly thank you to you.
	So, no problem at all.
	I appreciate that support.
	Please know that I'm so appreciative of your time and effort to keep us informed.
	And I've just included a few feds as well.
	So, I've included February's too as well.
	I'm sorry, not feds.
	I was referring to a federal fiat currency there.
	I feel for Karen.
	Last winter I went out.
	To take care of the chickens?
	Slipped and broke my nose glasses.
	Such fun.
	But the little girls are worth it.
	The pain wasn't so fun, however.
	Yeah, Karen really does enjoy the chickens.
	And she's missing them now because she can't get out there to them at all.
	As a matter of fact, when you talk about slipping on the ice guard, a seasoned veteran of the cold winters in New Hampshire, When I told him what happened, he said, you know, you need to get these things and just kind of slip them over your shoes.
	And we're going to do that.
	And basically, it's like tire chains for your feet, you know.
	It's got some spikes on it, and it's rubberized there.
	That would have made a world of difference.
	So I'm going to take guard's advice there.
	It says, your whole family, Travis and his growing family, Karen, are in my prayers.
	I'm praying for the whole world because something is happening.
	A guard may mention this, but my old 1860 farmhouse had two tremors.
	The first was not so bad.
	The second one was worse.
	The whole house shook.
	The animals, horses, mules, dogs, all felt it.
	A bit scary.
	And it just occurred, I said.
	So, yes.
	And this is also, I'll read one more here.
	This is from Martin.
	Marty from Clifton Park, New York.
	Said, thank you for another excellent month.
	And closed is support for February.
	I added $5 to acknowledge Whistler's wonderful contribution of the Alfred Hitchcock video, a stellar depiction of his image, and I really do like it.
	That was all him.
	He did everything.
	He wrote the script, got the audio together, did all the visuals and everything, so fantastic job.
	He really got it in the spirit of Hitchcock, too.
	But DG8, thank you for the tip, says, David Musk is doing a good job of exposing government waste, but it's all for nothing.
	Whatever is saved will go to fund Gazalago.
	That's what they could call it, Gazalago.
	And $500 billion Stargate project is all smoke and mirrors.
	Well, the Stargate project is supposed to be funded by them individually, but as Elon Musk said, they don't have the money.
	What Trump is going to bring to the party is he's going to get regulations away from them.
	Which is very telling, as I've said before.
	If we want to have economic growth, then get the government's boot off of our throat and let us work.
	Deregulate.
	Deregulation doesn't cost anything.
	And that may be something that might come out of this, you know, what Doge is doing there.
	It's too soon to tell.
	And I'm going to talk about that.
	First, I want to talk about the Paris Agreement.
	But then the next thing I want to talk about is the real fight.
	That is happening.
	You know, all of the statements about taking people's resignations and shutting down this agency and that agency, none of that stuff is going to stand if they don't fight in these judicial challenges.
	That's where the rubber meets the road.
	It ain't over till it's over.
	And so we don't really know what is going to happen with that.
	Just like we don't know, the stated policy has changed.
	The stated policy has changed.
	In terms of the border, in terms of immigration and other things like that.
	But for practical purposes, the rate of Trump's deportations is less than it was at the beginning of the Obama administration, and half what it has been under the Biden administration.
	So we'll have to see.
	The number of crossings has dropped something like 94%.
	But we saw something similar to that at the beginning of the 2017 Trump administration, and then it picked back up and we started getting caravans, and he didn't do anything to shut the border until he shut it over the fake plandemic.
	And that was the order that he brought back in order to say, well, we're going to deport people.
	So they keep that going.
	As I said, Biden has extended the COVID emergency to December of 2029. So they keep using the COVID fake pandemic as a means of martial law, as a means of getting around the Constitution, as a means of letting them do whatever they please.
	And this is a gift from the Republican to the Democrat, from the Democrat to the Republican.
	They keep passing that thing back and forth.
	They pass the baton back and forth.
	It's a tag team match.
	Sheely A. says, America can't even afford to make a penny.
	It's over.
	Yeah.
	Well, like I said yesterday, I always said Trump made no sense.
	Now I've been proven right.
	North American House F.O. When New York City Subway opened starting in 1904, the companies were happy to accept a franchise from the city in exchange for keeping the fare at five cents for 50 years.
	That's how non-existent inflation was.
	Those subway companies were nearly bankrupt by the 1940s, and the city took over the subway.
	I didn't know that.
	That's interesting.
	Perhaps that explains why the Kingston Trio had a big hit about the fare increase in Boston, the MTA. Remember that?
	The guy gets on the subway, and he doesn't have the money to pay the full fare.
	Will he ever return?
	No, he'll never return, and his fate is still unlearned.
	He may ride forever beneath the streets of Boston, but...
	The Man Who Never Returned.
	One of my favorite songs.
	Anyway, Three Little Birds.
	The nickel is already the least used coin and will become obsolete.
	Pennies and nickels will be worth a dollar each or more in the collector's market.
	There you go.
	As a matter of fact, when I talked about yesterday, I talked about the silver market.
	And it was an op-ed piece.
	Of a guy who was saying, hey, you know, right after, I forget the time frame, but it was, you know, about 10 years or so ago.
	I think it was right after the recession thing.
	But he said, we found out that these people that we had silver contracts with, when we wanted to take physical delivery, they couldn't deliver it.
	And they gave us a runaround.
	What should have taken five days took nine months to repatriate this stuff.
	And I read you the ordeal that he went through with all that stuff.
	And so he said, I think we're going to see that again, and I think we're going to see it again with gold, because we've got these ETFs and this paper silver, paper gold.
	Tony Arderman and I have talked about that many times, how that doesn't seem to track the spot market very well.
	And so when I talked about that, I had a listener who sent me a video of this guy who's got a YouTube channel.
	He calls himself the Silver Seeker.
	Not surfer, but seeker.
	And he's a silver collector and sells it and that type of thing.
	So I don't know the whole thing.
	That's the name of his YouTube channel.
	But he went to this silver...
	I guess.
	You know, it's kind of like a gun show.
	You know, people set up their table and they're selling gold and silver.
	And so he went around and talked to the different silver dealers before and after the show.
	And said, you know, so how's it going?
	You know, are sales up and everything?
	He said, we're not selling anything.
	He said, people are selling it to us because they need the money because the...
	The economy is bad.
	But, you know, there was a dichotomy between what was happening in the markets as well as what was happening with silver.
	I still think silver is more of a, you know, it's less of a, you know, the central banks are not holding silver.
	The central banks are holding gold.
	And so in that sense, I see gold as being a, you know, a check against the fiat currencies.
	I see it as more tied to the financial services, whereas silver is very heavily tied to commodities.
	And so it's tied to people using it to make things, solar panels and other things like that.
	Solar panels use a lot of silver.
	But that's also going to be dependent on whether or not we're in a recession, like a lot of these different things.
	And so silver...
	It is historically undervalued, and it could go up really big, but I see it as kind of more susceptible to volatility and other things like that, more like Bitcoin than like gold.
	But we'll see what happens with it.
	Everybody needs to do their own research to see what is happening with it.
	But again, if you want to get gold or silver, or even now Bitcoin, Tony can help you at WiseWolfGold, and he's set up davidknight.gold.
	That'll take you to WiseWolfGold.
	Let him know that you came through us.
	And you can even start to accumulate this stuff on a regular basis as part of a savings program to start trying to get out of this fiat currency that they're doing everything they can to eliminate.
	And it also, you know, one of the reasons that you look at the silver stuff is if we collect this stuff for a worst-case scenario, Silver is more amenable to being a currency substitute.
	You know, when you look at gold, it's a large quantity of value in a small package, and so it's hard to subdivide it in many different ways.
	That was the advantage of silver, that it could be, because its value was less, it could be used maybe more easily than gold.
	But let's talk about the Paris Agreement.
	At the center of this MacGuffin, to take everything from us, the Paris Agreement is now a house of cards, ready to be toppled, says the Daily Skeptic out of the UK. And I'm sure they would like to see this happen because they have been the victims of this green scheme more than anybody else.
	And as a matter of fact, it's the labor government in the UK that is complying with the Paris Climate Accord more than any other country.
	But they're saying only 5% of the countries have delivered climate plans for meeting targets under the Paris Agreement.
	And so they said only about 10, actually 13, this is one article here, it was actually 13 out of 195 have submitted plans for the deadline.
	That means that 83% Yeah, could you get that on my desk by later this afternoon?
	And all these different countries are saying, no, we're not going to do that.
	So each country is required to provide a TPS report, a stricter plan for cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 2035, including a detailed outline for how the nation plans to achieve its targets.
	The nation's missing the deadline account for 83 percent of global emissions.
	It's not about that at all.
	It's not about the emissions.
	It's about the omissions.
	It's what they want to omit from your life because they want to measure your energy usage.
	Trump withdrew the U.S. from the agreement upon taking office.
	Well, no.
	We were never in it.
	You can't get out of something that you were never in.
	He kept us in for the full four years that he was in there the first term, and now he's keeping us in for another year, but we were never legitimately in it.
	Cannot talk about this without talking about that fraud.
	So, most countries have missed the deadline.
	China has not confirmed when it will release its report.
	But, of course, China...
	Why bother to report, right?
	India, same thing.
	India says we're in no hurry.
	Why are they in no hurry?
	Because China and India can, for much longer, do whatever they wish.
	China is building, putting online multiple dirty coal power plants every week.
	They can continue to escalate the use of what...
	The UN and the Paris Climate Accord is saying is going to kill the planet.
	They can continue to put this stuff in.
	They don't even have to plateau.
	Everybody else was supposed to plateau, and now we're in the cutting stage.
	They're still able to continue to add more of this stuff.
	So China has not confirmed when they'll release a report.
	India said we're in, quote, no hurry.
	Canada and Japan have made their reports public, but they've not submitted them to their masters at the UN. Australia said, we're going to wait until after the elections.
	Why would they do that?
	They don't want the people who are voting to see how they're going to be betrayed by the politicians.
	So they're going to wait until after the election.
	The U.S., Brazil, Switzerland, the UAE plans are not compatible with the Paris Climate Accord, says the U.N. However, the U.K. is.
	The UK is in compliance with this stuff.
	It's one of the reasons why UK power prices are four to five times what they are in Germany.
	And it's why all of the factories in the UK are being shuttered, because it's about affordable energy and making it unaffordable.
	And so for our poor friends in the UK, their government is following it to the T. And shutting everything down.
	This is all part of a process that the UN calls review and ratchet.
	Well, that pretty much says it, doesn't it?
	We're going to ratchet this thing down.
	Yeah, that's the review and ratchet process.
	Some countries who have submitted new plans, such as Brazil and Mexico, have actually reduced their ambitions.
	But the EU says we can't really comply with this.
	It's just too stringent.
	Even the EU is saying that.
	But the UK is going to do whatever they can.
	They're going to kill the farms.
	They're going to kill the cars.
	They're going to do everything.
	Whistler says it looks like their 83% number doesn't account for nations like China and India that are meeting the non-existent requirements placed on them.
	That's right.
	Because that's what the environmentalists have always said.
	How can this be about global warming when you let the two biggest emitters go free?
	The 83% is just nations that aren't playing along.
	The nations that were supposed to restrict themselves, but they haven't been able to restrict themselves.
	Enough.
	Because if they do, the frogs that are being boiled in the water are going to wake up.
	Well, we're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we're going to talk about whether or not these reductions that Musk and Trump are trying to do are really going to go through.
	Are they going to stick?
	Or will the judiciary shut them down?
	And we see this already happening.
	It's only been a couple weeks.
	And how is their response?
	Well, they don't have the votes in Congress or the Senate.
	But they do have, all they need is one judge somewhere.
	And that one judge can override everything that the President and Congress does.
	And so they're going to have to take this on, and it's going to be an interesting fight.
	And this is a precedent that if they win, in order to do something that they want, this will be a big win for all of us.
	We'll be right back.
	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.
	All right, let's talk about Doge's big challenge.
	And it's not just the judges.
	It's the American people.
	As Reason points out, Americans hate inefficiency, but they love bloated government.
	And I've said this for the longest time.
	It isn't just about making government efficient.
	You have to take a look at what it is that government is doing, and government is doing a lot of things that government should not be doing.
	Government is doing a lot of things that are legally bankrupt and will financially bankrupt us as well, and yet Americans, by and large, want that.
	So the public worries about corruption, worries about bureaucracy, but many of the public want more of the same.
	And, of course, the Democrats don't make any secret about it, but...
	But secretly, the Republicans are, many of them are of two minds with this stuff.
	They are torn between the two.
	I remember for the longest time, you know, the Tea Party were taxed enough already.
	Okay, so what do you want to do?
	Do you want to cut spending?
	Oh, no, no, no.
	I don't want to cut spending in the Tea Party.
	I don't want to cut any bureaucracies.
	I mean, you know, you talk about getting rid of the IRS at that point in time.
	It's like, are you crazy?
	Or any of the other agencies.
	I don't want to get rid of the Department of Education or whatever.
	No, we're taxed enough already.
	Well, they just can't connect the dots.
	They can't go full circle to understand what is happening with it.
	And so Doge is saving the federal government approximately a billion dollars per day, mostly from stopping the hiring of people into unnecessary positions.
	The deletion of DEI and stopping improper payments to foreign organizations, all consistent with the president's executive order.
	A good start, though this number needs to increase to about $3 billion a day.
	Well, understand that when we talk about the warfare welfare state, the entitlement spending that is built in, they're not going to touch that, and that's going to be off-limits.
	And the military-industrial complex is going to be off-limits because a lot of these technocrats are making lots of money off of that as well.
	And so there really isn't the money to get rid of a trillion dollars or two trillion dollars or whatever that's there.
	Now it is good to eviscerate these agencies because the regulations are killing our economy.
	And so I do applaud that.
	I think that's the right thing to do.
	I would like to see the agencies completely gone.
	Rather than just cut down and then rebuilt with their people in there.
	Because what happens, and we've seen this over and over again, Supreme Court justices are the best case.
	Somebody might have a conservative record.
	Once they get on the bench, though, they usually go native.
	They usually turn into D.C. liberals.
	There's a few exceptions, like Clarence Thomas and Scalia, but for the most part, they...
	They make a hard left turn after they've been there for a short time.
	The Trump administration also sent a letter to the majority of the federal government, government's roughly 3 million workers.
	The voluntary nature of the plan blunts inevitable complaints from unions about purging the federal government of dedicated career civil servants, and it also stops the legal challenges on that.
	So if they voluntarily take a payout, that's fine.
	But a lot of the people that are taking a payout were going to be people who were going to...
	Leave anyway.
	So it's kind of a bonus for them.
	We will have to see what the results will be in the coming months and years.
	But if it works out, it's a pretty good launch for an administration and its advisory board that are less than two weeks old.
	Unfortunately, Americans aren't sure where they stand on all this, says Reason.
	So you've got the public fretting about corruption, inefficiency, red tape, but it wants increased spending and it opposes cuts in government at the same time.
	When you look at the media, they're portraying this as a constitutional crisis.
	And this is all part of their orchestrated campaign to push back.
	The mainstream media, the left media, will call it a constitutional crisis.
	And the judicial branch will start shutting this stuff down.
	And that's what we're seeing now in response to all this.
	CNN. Says their chief Supreme Court analyst, and this is telling because that's where they're going to take this thing is to the Supreme Court, said, as Trump team overhauls the government, a constitutional crisis looms.
	This is going to be a repeated theme that we see over and over again in the mainstream media.
	On Saturday, a federal judge temporarily restricted Musk's government efficiency team from accessing the Treasury Department's payment system that covers Social Security benefits and federal employees' salaries, among other payments.
	Well, they're not coming after Social Security.
	That's one thing that is clear.
	As a matter of fact, what Trump has said is that he's going to remove the taxes from Social Security, which I think is a legitimate thing to do.
	The government gives you Social Security, and the government taketh away Social Security.
	Blessed be that government.
	But, you know, you pay into this, you get so little out of it anyway.
	They're not going to do anything to Social Security.
	And I think that they have a moral obligation at this point, not a constitutional obligation.
	I don't see anything in the Constitution to support the welfare state.
	The welfare general clause that's there to provide for the general welfare, well, that was handled with the Ninth and Tenth Amendment.
	If you don't specifically have powers delegated to you in the Constitution specifically, you don't have them.
	You can't derive them, right?
	It has to be specifically delegated to you by states or by the people.
	So there's no constitutional authority for it.
	However, if they have been taking massive amounts of money from people over their entire life on the promise that they're going to give it out, they have a moral obligation.
	Otherwise, it's even more fraudulent than it is.
	People think they've got an account in Social Security that's a giant Ponzi scheme.
	But nevertheless, they always will try to portray it as that, because that hits a nerve, and rightfully so.
	Musk responded by calling the judge corrupt and saying that he needs to be impeached, and he's absolutely right about that.
	What they don't say with CNN is that this, as I pointed out yesterday, they went judge shopping on Friday night, after hours, knowing that this guy was the only one there, you know, as Goat Tree has said.
	Got to watch out for the holidays when the people who are typically there to do cybersecurity run the machines or whatever.
	They're taking a holiday, and they've got the third or fourth string people in there.
	Maybe somebody's new, somebody's temporary, whatever.
	That's when they can really pull the stuff over on people.
	Well, you know, that's what they did.
	They had this night court judge, essentially, this Engelberger or whatever his name is.
	We'll get to it in a minute here.
	But they found it.
	They knew that he would be there, and so he makes a ruling real quickly that night.
	They don't even have anybody from the Department of Justice to make an argument that this is a power that the president has.
	Instead, he makes a ruling for the people who sought him out, and his ruling is so broad that it even prevents the Secretary of the Treasury from being able to see this data.
	Now, it's not just the Doge team, but it's the actual Secretary of the Treasury can't see the Treasury information.
	Musk responded by calling him corrupt.
	Yes, he is.
	And saying that he needs to be impeached.
	Yes, that's absolutely right.
	And I'm glad to see him saying that, because they need to focus.
	On judicial reform.
	And you're not going to have any judicial reform unless you're going to throw some of these rascals out.
	So I say about, you know, the January the 6th stuff.
	You've got to throw some of these judges out.
	You've got to impeach them.
	Maybe put some of them in prison for what they did.
	Some of the people in the Justice Department.
	Merrick Garland, for example.
	If there's no teeth to the rules, nobody's going to obey these rules.
	And so you need to put the fear of prison in them if they don't have the fear of God to get them to, or the fear of losing their cushy job.
	Politico Playbook said, Donald Trump's stunning disregard for almost every legal norm is hitting crisis point this week as the government suffers multiple defeats in courts across the land.
	On Monday alone, five different judges around the U.S. issued temporary blocks on five different Trump-ordered executive actions, per a message last night from Politico Legal.
	Never before has a new judge clashed with the courts on such a scale.
	And so again, if they don't shut down this judicial supremacy, if they don't shut down this judicial overreach, all this stuff is a moot point.
	It'll all be shut down.
	The Washington Post, headline, What is a Constitutional Crisis?
	And then they said in the article that...
	Trump potentially broke laws by trying to rein in the deep state and cited many legal experts who claim we are in a constitutional crisis.
	This has now become the echoing term of the establishment media.
	Constitutional crisis.
	They know this is going to come down to a fight between the executive and the Supreme Court.
	And I think the people around Trump know that as well.
	J.D. Vance has already talked about Andrew Jackson.
	Just as I've talked about him for years.
	You know, again, the relocation of the Cherokee, the Supreme Court was for it before they were against it.
	After they saw how bad the relocation process was, they said, no, we're not going to let you do that.
	And Andrew Jackson said, well, you've issued your opinion.
	Let's see you enforce it.
	And he continued to do what he had the authority to do.
	It's not to say that the policy was right, but he had the authority to do it.
	And the Supreme Court, as even Alexander Hamilton, a big statist, a big central government power guy, he said the founders looked at the court system, the judicial branch of government, and said it was the least dangerous because it didn't have any power to enforce anything.
	Nevertheless, what we have seen is that with Marbury v.
	Madison, the court gave itself the authority.
	To do constitutional review.
	We will tell you what is constitutional and what is not constitutional.
	And at that point, Jefferson said, well, that undoes the entire constitution.
	So the question is, are we going to get our constitution back?
	It is a constitutional crisis.
	Crisis is, you know, the Chinese character for crisis is danger plus opportunity.
	We have an opportunity here.
	And the deep state...
	The bureaucratic entrenched state of the judiciary, which has usurped so much power.
	And it's not just them usurping it.
	It was gladly handed to them by the Congress and by the President, you know, even Trump.
	Again, going back to the DACA thing.
	That was an executive order from Obama.
	He says, well, I'm going to get rid of DACA. So he issues an executive order.
	He gets sued, and he says, well, let's see what the court has to say about it.
	Oh, the court says I can't do it.
	Okay, good.
	I don't have to do it.
	I can use them as an excuse, and that's the same reason that the Congress has abdicated its authority to the Supreme Court, because they don't have to be held responsible for anything that is unpopular.
	They can campaign on doing the right thing, or campaign even on doing, maybe it's not even the right thing, maybe it's just the popular thing.
	But if it's controversial, what they can do is they can defer to the court.
	And then they've got an alibi.
	And so the question is, are they going to do that this time?
	You've got Musk saying, impeach that judge.
	You've got J.D. Vance saying, we've got executive authority here.
	And these judges don't have any authority in this area.
	More on that in just a moment.
	The Washington Post saying it's a constitutional crisis and saying that Trump has potentially broken law, steamrolled Congress, and has a billionaire donor trying to dismantle the U.S. government.
	As his administration taunts the authority of the courts to stop them in what appears to be a pursuit of some of the most expansive and aggressive presidential power in American history.
	Well, that brings up a question.
	All of government, the power of the purse resides with Congress.
	And they are the ones who initiate and approve all the spending bills.
	And so the president isn't spending any new money.
	So he's not usurping that power of the Congress.
	Which is to spend the money.
	And so that brings up the question, since the executive is a manager, is he obliged to spend all of the money that has been budgeted for these things?
	I would say no.
	He's not making new money.
	I think we've had some of that with Biden and his largesse for Ukraine.
	But does he have to spend all the money that the Congress has allocated to these various bureaucracies?
	Or can he say, well, we're not going to do that.
	We're going to cut it back.
	Can he do that?
	I mean, so far he's not gotten rid of any agencies.
	He's just reducing the amount of money that they've been spending, that has been allocated to them.
	Seems to me like that's a legitimate constitutional thing to do.
	The Congress allocates the money, but...
	The executive doesn't have to spend the money that's been allocated to it.
	So the New York Times says, although there's no universally accepted definition of a constitutional crisis, Trump has created a constitutional crisis.
	Well, how do you know that if you don't have a definition for it?
	I don't know what a constitutional crisis is, but I'll know it when I can't define it, but I'll know it when I see it, just like pornography, right?
	The judge said about that.
	Pro publicos.
	It says, Trump's purge is a crisis that has tested the limits of the presidency.
	So on CNN, they do have one conservative that they've got there, Scott Jennings.
	And he said, we do have a constitutional crisis.
	And the constitutional crisis is being caused by these judges.
	That's right.
	North American House Hippo says, Great, Elon.
	Now do the Federal Reserve.
	Yeah, hopefully they will.
	You know, there's talk about doing that.
	Giving, he's mentioned it multiple times, giving Ron Paul the ability to audit the Fed.
	That'll be an interesting thing if that happens.
	That would be great.
	Anyway, he says, he called this a continuation of the lawfare against Trump.
	Scott Jennings, political contributor on CNN, said, Let me read the tweet.
	Just so that people understand, this is a tweet from J.D. Vance.
	I said J.D. Vance is pushing back on this.
	He's talked about Andrew Jackson.
	And then he said this.
	He wrote this on Sunday.
	He says, if a judge tried to tell a general how to conduct a military operation, that would be illegal.
	If a judge tried to command the attorney general on how to use her discretion as a prosecutor, that is also illegal.
	Judges aren't allowed to control the executive's legitimate power.
	That's what J.D. Vance said.
	He said the word legitimate is doing a lot of work here.
	But we do know that judges do get to say whether the executive is complying with the law or not.
	That's been the case for decades, hundreds of years.
	But still, the judiciary is micromanaging things.
	That's the point that J.D. Vance is making, and he's absolutely right about that.
	And he was very well stated, a very articulate argument here.
	He says there's a difference between saying whether you're complying with the law, and then you have these individual district court judges setting, effectively setting, broad federal policy that is specifically reserved for the President of the United States.
	I think we do have a constitutional crisis, and it's being caused by these judges.
	They're not here to tell us how to spend the money.
	They're not here to set broad federal policy, he said.
	That's Scott Jennings at CNN, referring to the tweet that was put out by J.D. Vance.
	Judges don't get to tell a general how to conduct a military operation.
	They don't get to tell the attorney general how to use their powers as a prosecutor.
	And they don't have the ability to tell the executive how to be an executive.
	And I don't think that they have the ability to command that money that has been allocated by the Congress be spent.
	You don't have to spend all that money.
	I mean, every year you look at these, you know, you look at schools and stuff, and we're at the end of the year.
	You know, so we got money left over.
	Spend it all.
	Because if you don't spend it, they're going to reduce our budget next year.
	They're going to say, hey, you didn't need all that money.
	We're not going to allocate it to you.
	So spend all the money that you still got left over.
	That kind of nonsense.
	These judges are supposed to be setting discrete settling, discrete and specific matters, not setting policy, he said.
	I think Vance is right.
	And so I hope that Trump will fight it this time.
	He didn't do it last time.
	It looks like Vance is up for it.
	It looks like Musk is up for it.
	And I think that would be a very good precedent.
	He'd be setting a precedent, and it'd be a good one for a change.
	He set a lot of really bad precedents.
	And so we look at these judicial orders.
	We've got judges ordering that the CDC, the FDA, and other agencies have to restore these DEI pages.
	Now, that's the kind of micromanagement, the kind of detail management that they don't have any authority to do, but it's being done by district court judges setting policy for the entire country.
	A federal judge on Tuesday yesterday ordered U.S. health agencies, such as the CDC and the FDA, to restore data and web pages that were taken down in recent days.
	He ordered them to comply with a Trump administration order on gender ideology and diversity rules.
	So, they said, take down your DEI pages.
	And they took them down.
	But then they went to a judge, and the judge said, no, you've got to put them back up.
	Who are you?
	Who are you?
	This is not your purview.
	U.S. District Judge John Bates.
	I can make a joke here, but I won't.
	He included for the health disparities among LGBT youth as one of the pages.
	Another page was...
	Interim clinical considerations for use of vaccine for Mpox prevention.
	Fast facts.
	HIV and transgender people.
	HIV data pages.
	And the page for the U.S. global HIV program called PEPFAR. You know, they're focusing on HIV quite a bit.
	Quite a bit in the U.K., as a matter of fact.
	They want to institute, they had an HIV day.
	And again, this goes back to the first abuse of the PCR. Remember that?
	Kerry Mullis, who got the Nobel Prize for producing the PCR thing, said, you can't use it for diagnostic purposes.
	He says, I'm not going to take a position as to whether or not AIDS is caused by a virus, HIV. I'm not going to take a position on that.
	Other people did.
	But he says, I will say that you can't use a PCR test to determine as a diagnostic.
	You can't use a PCR test to say that HIV causes AIDS. But that's precisely what Fauci did.
	And I think that's precisely why Kerry Mullis died a few months before they ran off this second thing, you know, using the PCR test now for everything.
	COVID and all the rest of this.
	As soon as he died, they used that.
	Maybe they killed him.
	I don't know.
	I wouldn't put it past him.
	Look, they killed tens of millions of people with that shot.
	You don't think they would kill some person who's going to blow the lid on the fraud of this stuff?
	And he pushed out pretty bad, pretty heavily against Fauci on the HIV thing.
	But now you've got Keir Starmer in the UK talking about HIV. We've got HIV Day.
	And we're going to have HIV tests given out to everybody, you know, like they did with a COVID test.
	Here's Keir Starmer.
	I did an HIV test.
	It's really simple.
	It's really painless.
	The test can be sent to you through the post.
	It's National Testing Week, so it's free.
	And it's literally just a little prick of the finger, a little drop of blood, goes into a capsule, two other mixing fluids, test done.
	Really, really easy to do.
	Very, very simple.
	And really important to do it because there's just under 5,000 people who have got HIV but don't know.
	I found out today that I'm the first Prime Minister to...
	Well, how do you know they've got it?
	It's not about me.
	I'm surprised.
	But I would just encourage other leaders, community leaders, those that can reach right into different groups within our communities, do the test yourself, show other people, talk it through, explain.
	Because, you know, we have to try and make sure just as many people as possible do get tested.
	Yeah, we've got 5,000 people who haven't don't know it.
	Well, how do you know they've got it?
	You haven't even claimed to have a PCR test on them.
	But as that is coming out, a lot of people have played this clip.
	Well, they were bragging about how they used HIV in the Trump shots.
	Before the virus meets our cells is what triggers the most protective antibody response.
	So Keith must make the spike protein in the lab, locking it into exactly the same shape by adding another protein that acts a bit like a clamp.
	This is all fiction, by the way.
	And that protein is a tiny fragment of HIV. Well, whatever they're putting in there, they're then testing for it, right?
	And they're using all these lies about COVID and all the rest of this stuff.
	They've got their own political agenda for that.
	So, yeah, again, a lot of these pages.
	HIV, HIV, HIV. The CDC page that had the title, Safer Food Choices for Pregnant People, was renamed Safer Food Choices for Pregnant Women.
	Judge doesn't like that either.
	When the previous version of the CDC page is accessed, it displays a message saying that it's moved to the one referencing women, because only women can get pregnant.
	This is a judge that has inserted himself into this.
	The CDC displays a message on all of its webpages now that reads, CDC's website is being modified to comply with President Trump's executive order.
	So now I guess maybe what they'll do is modify their website to say that CDC's website is now being modified to comply with the judicial orders of a U.S. district judge.
	Because that's now what is really happening.
	He's put himself, that's why I talk about judicial supremacy.
	And it must be destroyed.
	Hopefully this clash will destroy it.
	We'll see.
	But again, these people, the CDC, the FDA, all these other people, these health organizations, they had no problem at all with Trump's executive order of March the 13th, 2020. They were fine with that.
	They don't like his executive order taking off all the tranny stuff.
	But it's going to come down to a fight with the courts.
	Appeals court rejects Trump's administration bid to immediately reinstate a funding freeze.
	Who are they?
	GOP Representative Crane has now drafted an impeachment article on the judge who blocked Doge from accessing the Treasury information, and as I said before, even blocked the Treasury Secretary.
	That's the arrogance of these judges, and so I'm glad to see it.
	Eli Crane.
	Called Judge Engelmayer's actions judicial overreach.
	And he does need to be impeached.
	I hope they do.
	Meanwhile, we've got Elizabeth Warren.
	Lion Liz.
	Who says, only Congress can shut agencies down.
	Not Trump or Musk.
	She's worried about her Frankenstein child, the Consumer Financial Protection Board, CFPB. And she says, she went on with Rachel Maddow.
	And she said, Warren said.
	Only Congress, not Donald Trump, not Elon Musk, not some 22-year-old programmer.
	Eat your heart out, Liz.
	He's a lot smarter than you are.
	Only Congress can shut this agency down.
	But here's the trick on that one.
	You notice none of the Republicans are, oh yeah, they know, you know, beat on their chests and their big manly guys.
	Yeah, it's about men versus women, isn't it, Liz?
	Yeah.
	And they keep putting...
	End these bills to say, let's shut down the consumer agency, but they don't actually want a real vote on that?
	Now, let's stop and talk about this agency that was created by Elizabeth Warren, and I think Barney Frank had something to do with it, but it's her child, her baby.
	She's upset about this.
	I played the clip for you yesterday, which I said, you know, they've uncovered fraudulent claims and stuff like that.
	Well, you know, we always had courts where people could sue things, but, you know, they're for the consumer.
	No, they shut down over a period of about four or five years.
	It was about 150 banks a year were going under because of the new regulations, and they were the small and medium-sized banks.
	The big banks could handle it.
	These government regulations, as one person says, are kind of like a spider's web.
	It catches the small gnats and flies, but the big bumblebees go straight through it.
	Well, that's the way it was with the big banks and her Consumer Financial Protection Board.
	The regulations were just blown right through with these other guys, but it...
	It trapped and killed all the small and medium-sized companies.
	But let's talk about this idea that only Congress can shut this stuff down.
	When Elizabeth Warren created this thing with her legislation, they specifically put the Consumer Financial Protection Board out of the reach of Congress.
	They made them funded by the Federal Reserve instead of funded by Congress because that's how Congress exercises control.
	Congress could defund.
	Congress could kill any of these agencies by defunding them.
	Instead, what they did was they gave the IRS seven times what the Republicans in charge.
	Mike Johnson gave them seven times what their current budget is.
	Groove them by 700% or whatever.
	That's just inexcusable.
	But the Congress could go the other way, right?
	They could cut the budget of one of these things because they are the ones who control the purse strings.
	So that's how congressional control is exercised.
	Elizabeth Warren is saying, well, Congress needs to control this.
	Well, that's through the money that is allocated.
	But she short-circuited congressional control and she did it deliberately because she knew how this was going to be used.
	And so what she did was she funded it from the Federal Reserve, not even from the Treasury Department.
	She funded it from the Federal Reserve to get it out of the control of Congress.
	She designed this thing to short-circuit the control of Congress, and now she's whining that Trump and Musk are shutting it down.
	What a liar.
	She said, you know, they tried to shut this down through the courts, and you know what the Supreme Court of the U.S. said not once but twice?
	They said the thing is perfectly constitutional.
	The Supreme Court gets things wrong all the time.
	All the time.
	Yet, it's going to go forward.
	If you want to change it, you've got to go back to Congress, she said.
	Or maybe you've got to go to the Federal Reserve to see what's going on with all this stuff.
	Look, they've been so far detached from the Constitution that we've got all kinds of dodges and cover-ups and secret agreements and all the rest of this stuff all over the place and have been there for a while.
	She also said, Warren did.
	She said the current FDIC staffing shortages threaten the safety and the soundness of the banking system.
	Well, the soundness and the safety of the banking system were threatened by the lockdowns that she supported.
	As Gerald Salenti has said, it's the commercial real estate crisis that's about to unfold, could be unfolding soon.
	You know, five years since all this stuff was shut down.
	A lot of these agreements are coming up for renegotiation in terms of evaluating the loss.
	But, of course, the lockdown cleared out the cities, cleared out the people working in the office buildings, and it is creating a commercial real estate crisis, which the banks are heavily involved in.
	And if the commercial real estate collapses, it'll pull the banks down with it.
	Gerald Salenti is exactly right about that.
	He's been saying that for five years.
	So she cheered this lockdown.
	She pushed for the lockdown.
	If the banks fail, the safety and the soundness of the banking system is threatened by the lockdown that she and the Republicans did, right?
	Democrats and Republicans did that.
	The FDIC is simply an insurance corporation.
	Now, she's saying that they need to be able to do evaluations of banks and it threatens the stability of the banking system.
	Well, it was people like Elizabeth Warren, And the policies that she was about, which remember we had those three banks that failed.
	One of them was not insolvent.
	It paid off 100%.
	It was shut down because it was handling crypto and because Elizabeth Warren and the Democrats wanted to make crypto illegal, they forced the shutdown of that bank, which was completely solvent.
	So you want to talk about the safety and the soundness of the banking system?
	These technocrats, not technocrats, these Democrats that are out there.
	It's just unbelievable.
	Well, E. Pigeon the 7th says, Elon Musk on Twitter will have all the FBI backgrounds of the entire federal government.
	Yeah, I know.
	And we're going to talk about that next.
	We're going to talk about the fact that Musk says that he's not going to start looking at some of these bureaucrats and politicians.
	They make thousands of dollars and they wind up with net worths that are in the millions of dollars?
	How does that happen?
	Are they really good investors?
	You know, like Nancy Pelosi?
	Or are they gaming the system?
	Now, I'm in favor of that for people who have government jobs.
	I think they ought to be held to a higher standard, financially as well.
	But I'm very concerned because all this money that's going into the IRS, it's not all going into armed agents.
	It's going into something that's far more dangerous.
	Artificial intelligence.
	And they're going to be using that to audit everybody in the same way that he is going to be auditing some of these people there.
	This, to me, seems like another prelude.
	I think people are going to say, well, it's too soon to say that.
	No, I don't know.
	I mean, look at where these people are going.
	It's just like with a penny.
	I see that same type of thing coming along.
	Artificial intelligence, grabbing everybody's data, auditing everybody on the spur of the line.
	This could be a real tyrannical government because that's the purpose of the income tax.
	If they wanted to just raise money, as I said before, they would have done a VAT or something like that, some kind of a tax that they add at every level when something changes.
	But that doesn't give the American government the kind of insight into people's lives that allows them to They'll come after you.
	You don't sign that paperwork and incriminate yourself.
	Well, they're going to come after you for that.
	You've got to sign that piece of paper.
	You've got to report all this stuff and say that it's all true.
	And then that gives them leverage over you.
	That's what it's ultimately about.
	It's not even about the money.
	They don't care about the money.
	They don't care if the budget is balanced.
	The Democrats don't care.
	Trump doesn't care.
	He wants the ceiling off for another two years.
	The Democrats say, well, deficits don't matter at all.
	Period.
	But what matters is that they get...
	A financial statement from you that they can come after you for.
	Jason Barker, CDC and NIH websites have several links that go nowhere now.
	I've been having issues getting to stuff that I used to be able to access.
	I've been experiencing it for months.
	So it's not a Trump program thing.
	They are burying data.
	Oh, there you go.
	Okay.
	Yeah, that's the key.
	They want to hide what you see.
	We are all dead, says the easiest way to start actually fighting would be to nationalize the central banks.
	You could, in theory, do that with a stroke of a pen and then move off of fiat, but the central banks are their center of power.
	That's right.
	That's right.
	And, you know, you do that type of thing, like Andrew Jackson did, and somebody shows up to shoot him at point-blank range.
	And the gun misfired.
	Andrew Jackson beat him severely with his cane at the time.
	And it was funny, you know, 100 years later, or whatever it was, 100, 150 years later, they took the gun out of the case and pulled the trigger, and it fired right away.
	Interesting story.
	Cecilia 14. David, I know...
	Off the subject, but please be the only one to bring up East Palestine, Ohio.
	Trump is not helping them, and Vance went only for the photo op.
	That's right, it's in Ohio where Vance is from.
	You'd think they'd do something about it.
	Isn't it interesting how they have given short shrift?
	It's not a priority for them either.
	I mean, I know that finally for the first time in western North Carolina, They've got the Army Corps of Engineers there, and they're pulling out, as I pointed out yesterday, they're pulling out smashed up cars that were in the river.
	They're getting them out.
	They're getting a lot of debris out of the river.
	They've got the Department of Transportation is there now.
	The federal guys are also there, along with the Corps of Engineers, even though FEMA's not doing anything.
	You've got Department of Transportation.
	You've got Army Corps of Engineers that are helping them.
	They said they should be able to get Interstate 40 up and working next week.
	But, I don't know.
	I mean, you know, it is amazing that Joe Biden didn't lift a finger to help anybody.
	Not in Palestinian Ohio, certainly not in western North Carolina, and not in California.
	And, of course, not in Maui either, really.
	And so the question is, is Trump going to do anything about it?
	Trump is so focused on what's going on with Israel that he can't be bothered with what's going on in America.
	They really don't care about the people in Ohio at all.
	And they are getting completely ignored.
	And it's a small town, small group of people, and that's part of the problem.
	The next thing happens, and everybody focuses on that, unless they bring that back and start complaining about it.
	You know, the North Carolina thing is a much larger area, but again, they just ignored it for four months.
	Now finally something is being done, but I think they could do even more than they're doing now, if they had the kind of priority that he has for Gaza.
	So we're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we're going to talk a little bit about the audits, and then we're going to get into Gaza as well.
	Hopefully we'll have some time for that.
	We will be right back.
	Here's a little song I wrote.
	You might want to hear it in your pod.
	You know nothing.
	And be happy.
	Ain't got no cash, ain't got no car, but 24 booster shots in your arm.
	Oh, nothing.
	Be happy.
	You can't even buy s*** in the store because of your low social credit score.
	Own nothing.
	Be happy.
	You will own nothing.
	And be happy.
	Be happy and eat some bugs.
	They're doing what?
	In the place they named after me?
	Good thing I have the David Knight Show to keep me informed on the plots of these traitors.
	This is The David Knight Show.
	Well, High Boost says, remember when Musk bought Twitter and he dropped all the internals of the government colluding with Twitter over the election fraud and over COVID, and what happened?
	He said nothing.
	That's right.
	A lot of this is being put in there for self-aggrandizement, for PR, and for leverage over politicians.
	The politicians are scared to death of him now.
	And for good reason, I think.
	Because it can expose a lot of information about them.
	Will anything happen?
	I don't think so.
	And so that is the question.
	Are they going to fight?
	If they wanted to actually make this stuff happen, they would actually have to fight the judiciary and reestablish the Constitution.
	And even if they lose in the Supreme Court, say, so what?
	You made your decision.
	Let's see you enforce it.
	We're going to shut this down.
	I have the authority.
	These people are all underneath me.
	I don't think they're going to do that, though.
	That's why I say, you know, when you look at what is happening, all the stuff, the border stuff.
	Sorry, I had to sneeze there.
	All the border stuff, deportations, anything.
	That's all right now.
	That's just a PR campaign.
	It's not happening.
	It's not even happening at the level that it was happening under Biden.
	It's total baloney.
	Let's take a look at what was said.
	Elon Musk vows to root out the highest paid corrupt D.C. bureaucrats as he stuns America alongside Trump, says the Daily Mail.
	We did find it sort of odd that, you know, there's quite a few people in the bureaucracy who have ostensibly a salary of a few hundred thousand dollars, but somehow managed to acquire tens of millions of dollars in net worth while in that position, which is what happened in USAID. So we're just curious as to where that came from.
	He said, maybe they're really good at investing, in which case we should take their investment advice, perhaps.
	Yeah, you should follow Nancy Pelosi's husband.
	And there was somebody who actually did that to show where they are investing.
	He's doing insider trading.
	Trump rubber-stamped what Musk was up to, telling reporters, we don't want an unsuccessful guy doing this.
	And I fully expect...
	Said Musk to be scrutinized and to get a daily proctology exam, basically.
	Might as well just camp out there.
	So he's saying all this, not on Twitter, but he's saying it from the Oval Office, as you saw the pictures there.
	He and his young son are there in the Oval Office.
	His son is named X. X. Well, he's got an obsession with that, doesn't he?
	Musk scoffed when asked about his detractors.
	He said the American people voted for these cuts.
	He says, I have detractors?
	I don't believe it, he said.
	Well, first of all, you couldn't ask for a stronger mandate from the public.
	The public voted.
	A majority of the public voted for President Trump, he said.
	White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt had claimed that Doge unearthed $50 million being spent on condoms headed to Gaza.
	Trump added that To that by suggesting that Hamas fighters were using those condoms to create bombs.
	Population bomb?
	Anti-population bomb, I guess.
	That in the past, Hamas had used condoms, balloons, and other inflatables to set fire to Israeli farmland.
	Maybe it was really about trying to give them $50 million worth of condoms for a depopulation movement.
	We've been known to have things like that.
	What do we call it here in a minute?
	Planned Parenthood, things like that.
	But on Tuesday, Musk conceded that the $50 million condom story about Gaza was inaccurate.
	He says, first of all, some of the things that I say will be incorrect and some should be and should be corrected, so nobody's going to bat a thousand, he said.
	I'm not sure why we would be sending $50 million in condoms anywhere.
	Frankly, I'm not sure that's something that Americans would really be excited about.
	But they are claiming that they have slashed over $100 million in DEI funding at the Education Department.
	Now, are we going to have a judge somewhere that says you can't do that?
	You've got to fund that?
	Again, that's ridiculous.
	This is where the fight needs to be had.
	And again, I don't trust Musk.
	I don't trust Trump to do this stuff.
	Whistler says, if you think the condoms we're giving the Palestinians are dangerous weapons, wait till you see what we're giving the people killing the Palestinians.
	That's a much more powerful bomb.
	As I pointed out, that satirical clip of...
	Of the Trump Hotel.
	It's got way more than 18 holes out there that he builds it right there in the center of Gaza.
	One program reportedly told educators to, quote, help students recognize areas of privilege and power.
	Well, okay, that's fine.
	The stuff has been coming from the Department of Education.
	They hand out the money, they hand out the curriculum, and it's always been about that.
	You go back to the No Child Left Behind stuff that was being sold by George W. Bush.
	They've had one reprehensible set of curriculum after the other, and they push that stuff out, and it becomes a standard even for private schools and church schools.
	They'll still teach that standard.
	So if you set the curriculum, you can set it, and if you send the money, you can set the curriculum.
	So you send the money, then you can set the curriculum, you set the curriculum, you determine what's going to be taught.
	People are going to teach to that because that's what's going to be tested and other things like that.
	But you're still going to, even if they stop, The funding of this.
	This has been going on for a couple of generations now.
	So even if they stop the funding of it, even if you have prohibition of them teaching it, even if you have state prohibition of it being taught, even if it comes down to the level of the principle, guess what?
	These teachers have defiantly said in Texas and elsewhere, we're going to continue to teach it.
	I'm in control of my classroom and they are.
	That's where the rubber meets the road.
	And so if these people believe this stuff, if they're thoroughly indoctrinated in it as they are, After having gone through the schools and then go through the college and get their teaching degree in college, and then they come back into the school and so forth, this recycling has created this filth.
	And it isn't going to go away with just some prohibitions in some places.
	Doge announced the termination of 89 Department of Education contracts totaling $881 million and a post on Monday night.
	Of the nearly $1 billion, Doge identified $101 million that was being used for DEI training, including teaching educators to, quote, That's just simply Marxism.
	Your tax dollars are being spent on this, said Musk when he commented on that.
	And Nikki Neely, founder and president of Parents Defending Education, said DEI was never about equity.
	It was about enforcing ideological conformity and institutionalizing discrimination.
	It was about Marxism.
	It was about racism.
	It was about struggle sessions.
	Denounce yourself.
	Be anti-racist.
	It's not enough to not be racist.
	You have to be anti-racist.
	Anti-racist against yourself.
	That's a classic struggle session from communism.
	But look, if you're going to be defending, parents defending education, if you want to defend education, you've got to do it yourself.
	There's no other way to do it.
	No other way?
	It's even, if you even do it in a charter school or a private school, you still have to know what is happening there.
	I mean, I just talked about...
	A guy who has $235,000 in fines and he's had 500 days in prison.
	He was a teacher at a Christian school.
	And they were demanding that he use pronouns and he refused to do that because he is a Christian.
	The school wasn't Christian, but he was.
	So you never know what's going to be in any of these schools.
	You have to suss that out yourself.
	And you really need to do the teaching yourself.
	It's the easiest way to do it.
	It's the only way to be certain that it's going to be done that way.
	But look, this is the purpose of all government schooling.
	It was a stated purpose.
	We had Alex Newman on to talk about that.
	He wrote a book about the history of this going back to the 1800s.
	People like Horace Mann and Thomas Dewey and so forth, they were always focused on the school as an institution of social engineering.
	This has always been the purpose of the schools.
	And folks, it is the purpose of the private schools as well.
	So Trump and Musk said they went through, they found people who were 150 years old getting Social Security payments.
	Well, that's good, and they should not be getting those.
	It's obviously fraud.
	They're not getting those payments.
	Somebody else is.
	It's not 150 years old.
	But this is kind of a harbinger, as they put this out and everybody cheers it, this is a harbinger of artificial intelligence.
	Doing auditing.
	Not just of their books and not just of the bureaucrats who become multi-millionaires.
	I think that stuff ought to be audited.
	And I think if somebody is going to be working for the government or they're going to be a politician or whatever, they need to be held to a higher standard.
	Of course, they're held to a lesser standard.
	Nancy Pelosi and others have made it legitimate for them to do insider trading.
	And the people who are their staff members.
	Can also legally do insider trading.
	I don't know how far that extends out away from Congress and its staffers if it extends out to other people in the bureaucracy.
	But that ought to be looked at more carefully.
	If you're going to take a job like that, that ought to come along with a job.
	But do you really want the income tax to have AI auditors of everything that you want to do?
	Because that's what's coming.
	That's what this seven-fold increase in the budget is about.
	That's what this is preparing everybody for.
	So that's the bad side of this.
	We can cheer getting rid of the waste, fraud, abuse, and corruption, but understand that's not where this ends.
	This is preparation and precedent for what is coming.
	We're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back.
	Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, dear Claus, 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.
	All right, welcome back.
	Let's talk a little bit about Gaza.
	And I just happened to have, that was next on the list, but I just had a comment here from Ben Miller.
	He said, did DK say the other day that Gaza is 18% Christian?
	I looked it up and found there's just a few hundred Christians in Gaza.
	Well, I don't know which is true.
	Quite frankly, what I was doing, I was reading somebody's comment.
	That wasn't something that I even read off of an article.
	That was a comment that somebody put up.
	So I don't know if their comment is right or your comment is right.
	People are welcome to do their own research.
	The question is, though, is it okay to do it if they're not Christian?
	Is it okay to do it if they're not Jewish?
	Or do they have rights as individuals for what is being done there?
	That's the real question.
	Colonel McGregor says the Gaza plan from Trump reveals that he's not a free actor, but simply a puppet of Netanyahu.
	He said Trump's plan for Gaza represents a callous disregard for human life, regardless of what religion they have, and a complete lack of respect for the people who live in that region.
	We've kind of seen that when he talks about Greenland, Panama, and Canada, right?
	Canadians are nothing.
	We're going to take your country in that time.
	I was surprised, said McGregor, at the callous disregard for human life and Trump's plan.
	The idea that somehow or another, mystically, magically, we're going to remove over a million human beings.
	We're going to erase the place where they're from and their country and their heritage and establish an international beach resort on their land.
	He said that was just incredible.
	Secondly, he said the author and foreign policy consultant expressed dismay, I'm just reading this article from LifeSite, he expressed dismay that Trump, quote, did not have his national security advisor at least contact many of the leaders in the Middle East throughout the Islamic world and ask them their opinion on this proposal.
	As it turns out, he didn't do that.
	So, first, demonstrating a callous disregard for life, a complete lack of respect for the people that live in the region, But it was also incomprehensible that you would say something like this publicly without first establishing whether or not it made any sense.
	He said no one will support it.
	Saudi Arabia has made that clear.
	Egypt has made that clear.
	Jordan, etc.
	Everyone has come down and said this is outrageous.
	And now he looks foolish as well as not very smart.
	Let's be frank, he said, Trump is really in many ways a prisoner of his large donors, including the likes of Jewish Zionist Miriam Adelson.
	Or, you know, we could also give him $100 million, but look it, Elon Musk gave him $250 to $300 million.
	He is captive of his large donors.
	And I played for you yesterday the debate back in 2016, where he's going back and forth with Jeb Bush.
	And he says, Jeb Bush, you're owned by your donors.
	I'm not.
	I'm not beholden to anybody and all the rest of this stuff, right?
	Well, now he is.
	He absolutely is.
	Anyway, he says, Zionist Miriam Adelson last year gave him $100 million on the condition that he would allow Israel to annex the West Bank and effectively destroy the occupied territory in a similar way to Gaza.
	Trump made these promises, said McGregor.
	They sent their money in, and now he has his closest advisors, the people around him, consist of people that are very close to these donors, and they're reminding him of his obligations.
	He said Ronald Reagan was faced with such a crisis at one point.
	He had to distance himself from these donors and focus on governing in the best interest for the nation.
	He suggested that Trump do likewise.
	But he said, Netanyahu is practicing American foreign policy through ventriloquy, he said.
	Trump is just his puppet.
	And he said that Netanyahu was there as Trump was putting out this absurd idea of owning it, and he's continued with it.
	I mean, even the people in his staff, remember, the pictures of Susie Wilde, like, what is he doing?
	The White House pulling back and said, this is just a temporary thing, right?
	Love it, saying that.
	White House press secretary.
	No, he's made it very clear now.
	He's come back multiple times, saying it's going to be permanent.
	He says, Netanyahu is grinning like the proverbial Cheshire cat in delight.
	And so now, as Israel is expanding, even into South Syria, there is a state of panic going out throughout Syria.
	But let's take a look at what Trump had to say.
	About taking Gaza.
	Yet again, when he was meeting with the King of Jordan, who came to the White House with him, he says it yet again.
	We're going to take Gaza.
	Mr. President, you said before that the U.S. would buy Gaza, and today you just said we're not going to buy Gaza.
	We're not going to have to buy.
	We're going to have Gaza.
	We don't have to buy.
	There's nothing to buy.
	We're not going to pay anybody.
	What is that?
	No reason to buy.
	There is nothing to buy.
	It's Gaza.
	It's a war-torn area.
	We're going to take it.
	We're going to hold it.
	We're going to cherish it.
	I love my Gaza.
	It's going to be for the people in the Middle East.
	But I think it could be a diamond.
	It could be an absolute tremendous asset for the Middle East.
	And you're going to have peace.
	It's going to bring peace in the Middle East.
	Gaza, the way it is right now, every 10 years you're going to have the same thing happening.
	I've watched it so long.
	All the death and destruction of Gaza.
	The civilization's been wiped out in Gaza.
	No, it's going to be a tremendous thing.
	Who did that?
	Who did all that stuff?
	Right?
	A civilization has been wiped out.
	All this death and destruction, it's kind of like this passive sense that he had about COVID. Look at what COVID did to us.
	I don't know how this happened.
	It happened because of your actions.
	A civilization has been wiped out because of Israel's actions.
	All this death and destruction.
	It's just awful.
	There's nothing there.
	There's nobody that we need to pay.
	I'm just going to take it.
	Who are you going to pay?
	I'm not paying anybody.
	I'm just going to take it.
	There's nothing there.
	They bombed everything out.
	And it's all fine.
	Thanks for listening.
	Have a good day.
	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.
