	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 the 13th of February, year of our Lord 2025.
	Well, today we're going to take a look, With Ukraine, are we approaching a peace talk?
	We had a lot of announcements yesterday.
	But I think the key thing is Lindsey Graham just coming out and saying the obvious.
	It's all about money.
	So we're going to talk about that, or whether maybe there will be peace.
	But we have Trump saying, no, the money will continue.
	It will continue to Ukraine.
	And we have shocking revelations coming out of China.
	A new hidden virus outbreak.
	Is that really what is happening?
	Or do we have American...
	Mockingbird media pushing it.
	And I'm talking about the mockingbird media on the right.
	On the right pushing this.
	And the inflation surge.
	We've got gas groceries skyrocket as gold is soaring and the markets are bracing for a recession.
	And we also will take a look at the climate issues.
	We have actually not an increase in forest fires.
	If you go back and look at this historically, we have what they call, someone called a fire deficit.
	But don't worry about that.
	We've got Elon Musk.
	Stepping on the gas to make these new massive battery energy storage sites.
	Yeah, if they can't burn down the economy, they'll burn down our community.
	We'll be right back.
	Well, we had yesterday a very interesting timing that you had Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Defense, come come out and make some very clear statements about ukraine even as the trump administration is talking about how they're going to uh how trump is going to meet with putin
	Here is what Hegseth had to say.
	We want, like you, a sovereign and prosperous Ukraine.
	But we must start by recognizing that returning to Ukraine's pre-2014 borders is an unrealistic objective.
	Chasing this illusionary goal will only prolong the war and cause more suffering.
	A durable peace for Ukraine must include robust security guarantees to ensure that the war will not begin again.
	this must not be Minsk 3.0.
	That said, the United States does not believe that NATO membership for Ukraine is a realistic outcome of a negotiated settlement.
	Instead, any security guarantee must be backed by capable European and non-European troops.
	If these troops are deployed as peacekeepers to Ukraine at any point, they should be deployed as part of a non-NATO mission, and they should not be covered under Article 5. I don't know why that kept cutting off on us.
	But, yeah, here's the high points here.
	No NATO membership for Ukraine.
	This was the thing that was hanging out there, as I told you, going back to 2019. Alexei Arrestovich, the newly elected Zelensky administration, which won on a platform of peace, ironically.
	Yeah, not ironically.
	Hypocritically, they knew what they were going to do.
	They were having peace talks with the people in Ukraine that Kiev had been bombing.
	You know, they want to wring their hands about civilian bombing.
	They were doing it all the time.
	And had been doing it for five years after the U.S. engineered coup.
	USAID, Democrats, Alexandria Chalupa, the usual suspects.
	Just line them up, the usual suspects.
	After that had been going on for five years, people were sick of it.
	They wanted to have peace.
	Instead, as the Ukrainian TV was interviewing Arrestovich, they said, what's the chance of peace?
	He said, none.
	Oh, that's horrible.
	He goes, no, it's going to get worse in three years, which is when it happened, 2022. We'll be at full-on war with Russia.
	And she said, that's horrible.
	He goes, well, the country will be havoced, was the way it was translated in English.
	But the good news is we're going to get into NATO. Well, you got your country havoced, but you're not getting in NATO. Not in these next four years, perhaps, if they keep their word.
	Who knows?
	I mean, you know, politicians can say anything.
	Who knows what they're going to do, frankly.
	But, you know, taking them at their word, they're not going to get into NATO. There's not going to be any return to pre-2014 borders.
	There's not any way you're going to do that without going to war with Russia.
	And there's not going to be any U.S. troops in Ukraine.
	And there'll be no more relying on the U.S. for the majority of military building.
	Now, Trump also said that this will continue.
	He just wants to get paid for it now.
	The mafia, Don, wants to get paid for this.
	Because, you know, look, it'd be stupid enough if wars were fought over borders.
	And over who's going to have control over you, right?
	I mean, why don't we just let people secede if they want to secede?
	Everybody demanded that Ukraine have the right to secede from Russia, and yet nobody, the same people, would deny the fact that Crimea points that were eastern Ukraine.
	We're culturally connected to Russia.
	No, no, no.
	We can't let them secede.
	So, secession for us, but not for you.
	We've seen this over and over again, right?
	We saw this in our own civil war, didn't we?
	Our country was created by secession, by seceding from the British Empire.
	But no, no, no.
	You can't go your own way.
	And basically, you know, the southern states recognize that.
	And so when Western Virginia wanted to stay in the Union, they said, okay, do your own thing.
	And that's why we have West Virginia versus Virginia today.
	Because, hey, you can do your own thing.
	That's fine.
	And we have seen in Scandinavia, these very Scandinavian countries, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, they have been...
	Combined in various combinations over many, many years.
	And they would come together.
	They would break apart.
	Some of them would say, well, we want to go our own way.
	They never had to have a war over that.
	It's not necessary to have that.
	But it's not even about the borders.
	It's about money.
	It's always about money.
	So Higgs said, well, we want you as a sovereign and prosperous Ukraine.
	Wouldn't it be nice if we were a sovereign and prosperous America?
	Instead of having a foreign country like Israel telling us what we're going to do, or the UN, or the World Economic Forum, or any number of these other organizations.
	Wouldn't it be nice if we were sovereign in the sense that our government didn't have so much money in corruption there, that the government could be bought by billionaires, as we have seen this current administration, bought and sold.
	But we must start by recognizing that returning to Ukraine's pre-2014 borders is an unrealistic objective.
	And again, that comes right as the meeting is being announced, and so they gave it to Pete Hegseth to lay out the issues.
	So Putin has invited Trump to visit Moscow on a highly productive call they had at the same time.
	They're now calling for peace.
	Wednesday marks the first known conversation between...
	Trump and Putin, since the new U.S. president entered office, both leaders had extended invitations to, quote, visiting each other's nations, unquote.
	Trump said that he would be calling Zelensky right now to inform him about the call and update him.
	And get on the phone and say, hey, pal, it's over.
	Oh, you're not even getting the T-shirt.
	So we both agreed and we want to stop the millions of deaths taking place in the war with Russia and Ukraine.
	No, I don't know if it's millions and Trump always overstates everything.
	Our respective teams have started negotiating immediately.
	Of course, that's what Hegseth is laying out the terms of what they've already agreed to.
	I want to thank Putin for his time and effort with respect to this call and the release yesterday of Mark Fogle, a wonderful man that I personally greeted last night at the White House, a person who's been under arrest for about three years.
	They released him as a sign of good faith.
	The Russians did.
	The night prior was when Mark Fogle, he is identified as an American schoolteacher.
	Who knows?
	Maybe he was with USAID. I don't know if he's a spy.
	I don't know if they just...
	Look, Russia doesn't follow any moral rules or laws either, so who knows?
	They might have...
	Falsely arrested him.
	He had over a three-year stint in Russian prison.
	They did a prisoner exchange.
	And so it's not just a unilateral thing.
	There was a prisoner exchange.
	We had a crypto guy of theirs.
	Geopolitical observer Arnaud Bertrand said this is a monumental shift.
	The U.S. is finally renouncing NATO membership for Ukraine after 17 years of trying.
	This is no cause for celebration.
	It's tragic, really.
	Had this position been taken in late 2021, instead of doubling down on NATO expansion, the war and its hundreds of thousands of casualties would have undoubtedly been avoided.
	Yeah, exactly.
	This happened because they kept pushing and pushing and pushing and Russia knew that it was next.
	This is not...
	This is not some domino theory.
	Well, if we let Russia take Ukraine, it's going to take over the rest of Europe.
	No.
	No.
	This was about the Russians looking at it and saying, if they bring Ukraine in, that's the next step for if they bring them into NATO. So, overnight, as Zelensky is coming back and saying, hey, let's talk.
	Come on, let's talk.
	Well, overnight, There was a Russian strike on Kiev, the capital.
	A massive one used ballistic missiles and over 120 drones.
	It was directed at military plants as well as energy infrastructure.
	Now, Ukraine is saying, well, they hit apartment buildings and stuff.
	And that's where they had put their, you know, they've got these ad hoc small manufacturing facilities where they create the militarized drones.
	And so this is a...
	That's been a very effective weapon.
	This is going to be, in the future, the asymmetric warfare.
	You think of it as flying improvised explosive devices, IEDs.
	Very easily made by individuals.
	Very easily made in a guerrilla war.
	And so they had identified these places.
	They said they carried out a group missile strike on workshops.
	Of Ukrainian military industrial complex enterprises producing unmanned aerial vehicles and FPV drones.
	The goals of the strike have been accomplished.
	All designated facilities have been hit.
	The attack involved Iskander-M ballistic missiles and over 120 drones, which Ukrainian forces claim to have shot down seven of the Iskanders.
	They don't say how many got through.
	And 71 UAVs.
	Well, even if that is true.
	71 out of 120. That's still pretty devastating.
	The Ukrainian capital appears to have been one of the hardest-hit cities in a wave of strikes.
	Ukraine's deputy energy minister said that the recent Russian strikes on gas infrastructure are creating, quote, certain pressure, and that Ukraine will need help from partners to import additional volumes of gas.
	Well, you know, we can do that if you just give us some of those rare earth minerals, most of which are going to be in the territories that Russia is going to hold.
	But there will be some lucrative contracts, I'm sure.
	You remember, you know, Brown and Root and Dick Cheney, how they rebuilt Iraq and those crooked contracts involved there, no bid contracts and things like that.
	I'm sure there'll be a lot of that in Ukraine.
	They're going to find gold even if they don't find the rare earth.
	The military industrial contractors and the people who are allied with them.
	But it's good to see the war stopping, even if it's just stopping so these people can make money, I guess.
	Russian telegram channels cited eyewitnesses reporting 16 explosions across the city.
	Zelensky reacted by saying that Putin is, quote, not preparing for peace.
	And so...
	The day prior, Zelensky had offered a land swap deal to Putin.
	This is the way Putin answered him.
	You're not winning the war.
	You don't set the terms.
	And this has been in the works from the very beginning.
	People like Carl McGregor have always, and independent analysts that aren't allied politically with one side or the other, out of India, at the very beginning.
	So there's no way that Ukraine is going to win this.
	And the danger has always been that this would be escalated into a nuclear war.
	Perhaps with some kind of a false flag, or perhaps with something that Zelensky would do.
	And he pushed very hard for that.
	So this is a good thing for us, even though we're going to still continue to get ripped off for the money.
	He said, Ukraine will give up cursed territory, said Zelensky.
	I'll tell you what, we'll give up some of the cursed territory to end the war.
	These little areas that we went in that they're not going to be able to hold in Russia.
	We'll give up some of that, and then you can give up some of what you're holding in Ukraine.
	And we'll swap one territory for another.
	And then there was a big barrage of missiles.
	That's the answer.
	So Trump is also going to send the Treasury Secretary to Kiev.
	Because, yes, folks, it is about the money.
	I want to have our money secured, because we're spending hundreds of billions of dollars.
	Well, stop it.
	They may make a deal, they may not make a deal, they may be rushing someday, or they may not be rushing someday, but we're going to have all this money in there, and I say, I want it back.
	And I told them that I want the equivalent, like $500 billion worth of rare earth.
	And they've essentially agreed to do that.
	So at least we don't feel stupid.
	Otherwise, we're stupid.
	I said to them, we have to get something.
	We can't continue to pay this money.
	You know...
	Come on, man.
	I've got to dip my beak in this stuff, right?
	That's a mafia don.
	So he says, you know, Ukraine may be rushing someday.
	And I need half a trillion dollars in rare earth minerals.
	Among many provocative and controversial statements within the first month of his presidency, this may be one of Trump's most shocking yet.
	This is Zero Hedge, actually.
	Or at least that's how it'll be received in Kiev.
	In a Fox interview, which aired Monday night.
	This all happened pretty quickly, right?
	He goes out there and he says, hey, you know, they might be rushing someday.
	Who knows?
	And so then, you know, they...
	Work up these terms that you just heard from Hegseth.
	They announced that they're going to be meeting by Wednesday.
	And so, anyway, so Monday night was when that was made.
	When he says Ukraine may be Russian someday.
	You know, it was Russian for 400 years.
	Anyway, we don't want to talk about that.
	Ukraine may make a deal.
	They may not make a deal.
	They may be Russian someday or they may not be Russian someday.
	But I told them I want $500 billion worth of rare earth.
	Crass, commercial, like a gangster.
	Is that a good thing?
	I don't think so.
	So, Zelensky, after he was saying to Putin, yeah, I'll give you a land for that.
	Now he says to Trump, yeah, I'll give you some rare earth minerals.
	Let's do a deal.
	Let's do a deal.
	What a crook this little guy is.
	Of course, they all are.
	If we are talking about a deal, then let's do a deal.
	We are only for it.
	Let's do a deal.
	We are only for it.
	The Americans helped the most.
	Therefore, Americans should earn the most.
	Well, Lindsey Graham just laid it out there for what it really is.
	He said, this war is about money.
	People don't talk much about it, but you know the richest country in all of Europe for rare earth minerals is Ukraine.
	Two to seven trillion dollars worth of minerals that are rare earth minerals, very relevant to the 21st century.
	You know what's relevant to the 21st century?
	It's this criminal imperialism of the American empire and everybody else.
	I mean, everything.
	These people are going for everything, aren't they?
	They don't want us to own anything.
	They don't want to own everything.
	The technate that put Trump in, that bought him and put him into office, they want everything as well.
	And so, yeah, we're going to see this revival of old-fashioned imperialism.
	So, yeah, do you want to die for borders?
	Do you want to die not even for borders and for language and culture?
	But how about for their money?
	You want to die for that?
	You want to fight their wars for that?
	So, Zelensky, again, offered the land swap to Putin.
	He offered the rare earth to Trump.
	This guy's making deals with stuff that he doesn't own.
	He's like, he doesn't have any way to hold this land.
	And, of course, a lot of the land that has been taken has the rare earth minerals in it.
	So, he's out there trying to make deals with stuff that he doesn't own.
	Now, Tucker Carlson is right on target.
	Is he?
	I don't think so.
	He's accusing Ukraine of reselling U.S. supplied arms to Mexican drug cartels.
	Is this news?
	First of all, Tucker, you've been around for a while.
	Did you ever hear anything about us growing poppies in Afghanistan?
	Did you ever hear anything about the CIA creating a crack cocaine epidemic?
	Did you ever hear anything about us partnering with drug cartels in Central and South America and Mexico?
	What a scoop for Tucker Carlson.
	And of course, everybody has been talking since this whole thing began about how corrupt Ukraine, even Bill Gates said, well, you know, Ukraine is the most corrupt nation on earth.
	He came out and said that.
	So we know that all the money that we've been sending is not just going to, it's not going to weapons and it's not going to the people there.
	It's like everything else that USAID does.
	Oh, let's send some food in there.
	Let's send some money in there.
	Well, it goes straight to the government officials, and then the government officials use it for themselves.
	They sell it to somebody else.
	That's the way all of this stuff works.
	Tucker should know that.
	I mean, his dad worked for the CIA with Voice of America.
	I don't know how USAID works, and how our foreign policy works, and how the military weapons work.
	How it's all there to enrich these dictators.
	Because, hey, we just want the money that's there and the other stuff that's there.
	So, yeah.
	Some reporters will tell you the truth about this.
	Gary Webb told us the truth about the crack cocaine epidemic.
	What happened to him?
	Well, they organized the LA Times to destroy his reputation.
	And then that put him out of commission for a few years.
	And then as he organized himself to come back, I'm going to claw my way back into this thing.
	By the way, that is the word of the week.
	Clawback.
	Clawback.
	I've just been reading it.
	So many different headlines.
	We're clawing back the $59 million.
	We're going to claw back $4.3 billion from California in there.
	High-speed rail.
	So we're clawing back everything.
	So Gary, I just subconsciously used the word of the day, you know.
	Like gravitas.
	They used this word, and then everybody's an echo chamber.
	So anyway, as Gary Webb was clawing back his way, they killed him.
	But you know, some reporters who don't tell you the truth, like Tucker Carlson, who give you a limited hangout, who spin it, somehow they get tens of millions of dollars a year.
	And they get the fast track to the head of the line.
	Whether you're talking about Elon Musk's ex, or you're talking about these other issues.
	Anyway, so Ukraine receives American weapons, and they're being skimmed from the Ukrainian military officials.
	Or by the Ukrainian military officials, who then sell them to cartels?
	Who knew?
	Who knew?
	Well, as I said before, if you think this stuff is going to stop, think again.
	Listen to what Trump says, and at the very end, he talks about the fact that the money is going to continue.
	So, we're getting security on our money.
	We're going to have it secured by...
	They have raw earth, and they have oil and gas, and they have a lot of other things.
	We're asking for security on our money.
	They've agreed to it.
	Ukraine has agreed to it.
	No, we are, but we want it secured, and the money is going to be secured.
	If we didn't do that, then Putin would say he won.
	We're the thing that's holding it back.
	And frankly, we'll go as long as we have to go because we're not going to let the other happen.
	Yeah, let it continue this.
	Okay, so look, this is the guy who, well, we got a lot of this killing, but, you know, we're going to continue sending him weapons.
	Got to stop the killing, but we're going to continue sending weapons.
	This is a guy who, for money, killed Americans.
	Killed people around the world with a bioweapon shot.
	But he killed Americans with ventilators and remdesivir and lockdowns and all the rest of this stuff.
	He killed businesses.
	Why did he do that?
	It was for the money, of course.
	He was bought and sold by Big Pharma.
	What's he going to do for Elon Musk and his technique buddies who want to set up a technocracy?
	They gave him a lot more money than the pharmaceutical companies did, and he's already given Elon Musk the keys to the kingdom.
	He can see everything that is there.
	What do you think that's worth?
	Knowing everything about us, knowing everything about the government.
	So he was paid.
	And then he turned around and he paid doctors and hospitals to kill us.
	He paid governors and...
	Public health departments to kill us.
	Well, we're going to take a break.
	When we return, we're going to talk about how the conservative media is selling not just the lab leak nonsense to make the pandemic look real, but they're telling us that, you know, there's flu going around in China.
	Oh, even though China says it's not a big outbreak, we know they're lying.
	We know that this is COVID. Not even the vaccines, really.
	We know that's really what this is all about.
	Well, we're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back.
	Hello, it's me, Volodymyr Zelensky.
	I'm so tired of wearing these same t-shirts everywhere for years.
	You'd think with all the billions I've skimmed off America, I could dress better.
	And I could if only David Knight would send me one of his beautiful gray MacGuffin hoodies or a new black t-shirt with the MacGuffin logo in blue.
	But...
	He told me to get lost.
	Maybe one of you American suckers can buy me some at thedavidknightshow.com.
	You should be able to buy me several hundred.
	Those amazing sand-colored microphone hoodies are so beautiful.
	I'd wear something other than green military cosplay to my various galas and social events.
	If you want to save on shipping, just put it in the next package of bombs and missiles coming from the USA.
	The war is not going to be a fan of the USA.
	The war is not going to be a fan of the USA.
	The war is not going to be a fan of the USA.
	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.
	Making sense common again.
	This is the David Knight Show.
	Be My Valentine writes and says, I saw warehouses full of supplies sent from the U.S. that never made it to the people in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria.
	Yeah, and of course we can talk about what the Clintons did in Haiti and the Clinton Foundation and the rest of this stuff.
	I mean, it gets even worse than just stealing money, the things that they do, the children, the human trafficking.
	Let's take a look at the fear campaign being conducted by the Epoch Times and Zero Hedge put out this story as well.
	Listen to this.
	Microbiologists and residents say China conceals the extent of respiratory virus outbreak.
	Here we are.
	Five years.
	Nearly to the day, okay, after all this nonsense.
	And we've got deja flu.
	It's deja flu.
	Well, it was never flu, but it was just flu they called this pandemic.
	But yeah, deja flu.
	Now the pandemic has returned.
	Chinese health authorities have said this winter's flu season is less severe than the year before.
	But, but, says Epic Times.
	Shame on you, Epic Times.
	But medical experts who are not even there doubt the transparency of the respiratory illness situation.
	Now, did they cast any aspersions on China?
	I said when this stuff was happening in December of 2019. I said, okay, so China is telling us that this is really serious.
	And we were getting pictures coming out of China.
	Obviously, people taking a dive.
	They don't even know how to do a fall.
	They need to contact Jackie Chan or somebody, right?
	I mean, they got people who are very adept at this stuff in China.
	Now, they're really good at this.
	They should have used them.
	Instead, they just used some walk-on, you know, some extra.
	And it was as fake as it could be.
	And they showed pictures of the hospitals.
	And they had people all over the pictures that they showed.
	Who knows if that was typical or not?
	Except we had been there, and we had seen that pretty much anywhere you went, if you go into a railroad station, you can hardly move.
	And the people laying all over the floor at the railroad station, everything else, you go into Walmart, and it was mobbed.
	And there was nothing special going on.
	It was as bad or worse than what you would see on Black Friday.
	Every day.
	Every day.
	It was amazing.
	We came back to America and we go to a Walmart and it's like a ghost town city.
	It's like, how did they even survive in America?
	When you look at how many people were there in China.
	So I said, that doesn't mean anything to show people in the hallways of a hospital.
	It doesn't indicate that there's some kind of a pandemic.
	And of course we could see that in New York and other places where New York is supposed to be ground zero.
	Empty hospitals.
	And we got TikTok nurses dancing all the way.
	Anyway, we now have medical experts who know better.
	And I said, well, you know, what they're telling us is that this flu season, they have numbers for this flu season that are way less than are typical.
	So I think they're lying.
	I think they're underreporting this.
	And so then they want to make the next step and say, well, because they're lying and underreporting it, that means it really is COVID part.
	What is it now?
	How many different variants have we had?
	I don't know.
	Is this COVID part 23?
	24?
	Where are we with all these supposed variants?
	Never isolating a single one.
	So, residents from four different cities have expressed concerns about an uptick in respiratory infections.
	And they spoke to the Epoch Times.
	And the Epoch Times is allied with the Falun Gong.
	They are opposed to China.
	They're very politicized and untrustworthy, quite frankly, as a source.
	I did interview a guy who was with Falun Gong who talked about organ transplant and how they would use Falun Gong as well as Christians and as well as political prisoners.
	They would use them for organ transplants and take them out while they're alive because that's what happens.
	That's the dirty secret of organ transplant.
	And so I talked to him about that.
	But look, the Epoch Times and the Falun Gong, they're just as dishonest as the Chinese government.
	So they're going to write this massively long story and Zero Hedge is going to publish it?
	They say, well, this is what the Chinese government is saying.
	They're saying that they're having really mild flu, but we know that they're not.
	And we know that it's even worse.
	And so we know that it's another COVID outbreak.
	It's deja flu.
	Some suspected their flu-like symptoms may actually be caused by COVID-19, fearing that doctors were instructed to avoid such diagnoses, given that the authorities declared a victory in the fight.
	So, you know, government will look the other way when people get sick and die?
	Yeah, we saw that with the vaccines, didn't we?
	Not rocket science there.
	In northern China, Xinjiang, A woman named Zhu, X-U, no last name given.
	So, a woman named Zhu said she had noticed more people sick with respiratory illness and had seen local hospitals packed again during the Lunar New Year holiday.
	Well, that's it.
	That's it.
	We know it's real, then.
	And so, based on her statement and some other people's statement, we know this is true.
	This is bird flu stupid.
	That's how stupid this is.
	Bird brain flu is what they ought to call it, right?
	Only bird brains believe that it's a flu, and only bird brains believe that the USDA, killing tens of millions of chickens every month, is a reasonable response, even if it were an airborne disease.
	Even if it were an airborne disease.
	That doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
	So, I'm feeling unwell myself, and I haven't recovered.
	She said, the hospital said I contracted influenza A, but I believe that it was COVID-19.
	There you go.
	How many times did we hear that in America?
	You know, we not only turned our country into OCD America, obsessive compulsion disorder.
	I said that, you know, I said, look at these people, they're wearing masks, they're hanging six feet apart, they're afraid to touch a gas pump handle?
	We've become OCD America.
	I said, nope.
	That was just the first couple of weeks.
	People were scared to death.
	And they also have created a nation of hypochondriacs.
	You've got people in the deep Democrat states that are still dyed-in-the-wool hypochondriacs.
	They're still walking around with masks on.
	They don't even think about whether or not the masks work.
	They just are grabbing for any kind of security blanket that they can and putting it on their face.
	So, I'm feeling well myself.
	They say it's the flu, but I think it's COVID-19.
	She expressed concerns about how quickly the virus circulated among humans this time, saying her son, her daughter-in-law, and their school-aged daughter have all fallen sick.
	The authorities are concealing the scale of the outbreak.
	I mean, haven't you had years when everybody's getting cold and flu?
	Everybody that you know?
	Does that mean that something's going to kill us all?
	The National Health Commission there in China, the officials reiterated their previous assessment saying the scale and the intensity of the spread of the respiratory infectious diseases this year is lower than it was during previous winter seasons.
	You see, very much like the climate MacGuffin, you get people so afraid, so packed with fear, and so invested in this MacGuffin that they imagine that everything that happens is part of it.
	Oh, well, we've got, it's hot.
	Well, it's climate change.
	It's cold.
	It's climate change.
	It's global warming, and we're all going to die, right?
	Same thing here.
	Wilson says if they had reported higher cases, they'd be using that as proof of COVID. Yeah, that's right.
	Just like the temperatures.
	Temperatures go up, temperatures go down, we're all going to die.
	Either way.
	Now, they're reporting lower cases.
	That's also proof of COVID. That's what he said, too.
	He wrote this up before I said it.
	He read my mind here.
	It's like climate change.
	Imagine how scary it would be if nobody got sick.
	Or if the temperatures stayed essentially the same, which they have.
	Yeah, we all see that, don't we?
	You see what they want you to see.
	You know, is that other Hitchcock film Gaslight?
	Besides, MacGuffin is Gaslight.
	These people...
	They've read his books.
	Forget about Sun Shoe.
	It's Alfred Hitchcock you need to pay attention to.
	It remains unclear how many people were infected with the influenza virus or COVID-19 this year, says Epoch Times.
	The Chinese CDC reported 1.5 million influenza cases last December, leading to seven deaths.
	Seven people out of 1.5 billion.
	And as Gerald Salenti had said in Trends Journal back in 2020, the very beginning, four people dead and 1.4 billion still alive in China.
	But we have to shut everything down, right?
	By the way, if you can get 10% off at Trends Journal, he saw this, spotted this from the very beginning.
	So did I. But, you know, you can get Trends Journal, excellent publication.
	You get 10% off with the code NIGHT, and it really is a valuable resource.
	So, you know, out of 1.4 billion people, they said they had 1.5 million flu cases.
	So that's one out of every 1,000 people.
	And then out of that, they said, well, we had seven deaths out of 1.5 million cases.
	We're starting to get to the level of CO2 in the atmosphere here with us.
	We're all going to die.
	And so it's clear that the mortality rate is being underreported, they said.
	So there you go.
	This is a lab director of the Viral Disease Branch of the U.S. Walter Reed Army Institute Research telling this to Epoch Times.
	Maybe this is why this story was written.
	Maybe you got some guy in the military-industrial complex because, you know, this whole thing was a military operation.
	Operation Warp Speed was a military attack against us.
	It wasn't just medical martial law.
	They used medical issues to do martial law on us.
	And it was developed in conjunction with DARPA and the rest of these people long before the real bioweapon, the vaccine, of course, long before this stuff rolled out.
	And they delivered it for people.
	So maybe it's this lab director.
	At Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, it came from the lab.
	The lies.
	The lies came from the lab.
	And so he gets on the phone, perhaps, just guessing here, but looks, since this is one of their named sources here, that's really hanging out.
	The experts who say that China's not telling us how bad this really is.
	It's coming from somebody at the Army lab of bioweapons.
	Pushing fear of a new pandemic.
	And he says, well, the official tally means that for every 100,000 people who contracted the flu in China, only one has died.
	No, actually, if you do the math, it's like one out of every 234,000 people.
	But he says, in the United States, we have five to ten people out of every 10,000 individuals face fatal outcomes with the flu.
	So, why did we shut down everything?
	I mean, that's something that happens all the time, right?
	We talked about that.
	It's bad, but, you know, flu is one of the very common causes of death.
	When you're older, you have other complications, and those are the people who were dying until we put out the bioweapon, and now we've got children dying of heart attacks.
	Given China's high level of air pollution and the large number of smokers.
	Hear that?
	That's what John Rapoport said at the very beginning.
	He said, you look at Wuhan.
	It's one of the most air-polluted cities on Earth.
	And you're going to tell me that you've got some gain-of-function respiratory illness, or maybe it's just that.
	So this guy, who is working at the Army Hospital, and this is the core of why they did this story.
	Somebody gets on the phone, calls up Epic Times, and says, hey, China's lying to us about this.
	And it's like, oh yeah, we hate China.
	So let's...
	Let's put this story out.
	I'm sure that's true.
	I'm going to go with whatever the army tells me.
	So he says, given the number of people with the underlying respiratory diseases in China, it's supposed to be substantial.
	So the death toll from influenza is likely much higher than reported.
	So you might want to do a story on this.
	So they recall that during previous COVID-19 outbreaks, there was often a noticeable gap.
	Between official numbers and the accounts of the front-line workers, the crematorium staff, and the residents on the ground.
	Yeah, we saw that as well in New York, and guess what?
	It was flowing the other way.
	Remember how they made a big deal of, hey, they're burying people in Central Park, and you find out, no, that wasn't.
	They retracted that, but that, you know, was on like page 45 of the newspaper.
	Their attraction after that lie had gone around the world.
	The hospitals were empty.
	The hospital ships go home from New York and L.A. Franklin Graham, Samaritan Purse hospital beds go away.
	The 2,500 hospital beds that Trump went away.
	And they were all silent about it.
	You know, Donald Trump never said, well, I'm glad that it's not as bad as I thought it was.
	No, he continued the masquerade, didn't he?
	Yeah.
	And they're now continuing the masquerade with this.
	A man working in the industrial hub of Guangdong said he didn't travel back home for the Chinese New Year because he'd heard rumors that things were bad back home.
	So he said, I decided not to go.
	This is all a bunch of rumors and fear.
	And he said, it's still caused by COVID-19.
	The hospitals are full.
	Many passed away recently, and the crematorium is busy.
	You know, just like in New York.
	Oh, we don't have enough facilities to handle all the dead bodies.
	Yeah, right.
	So we've got to bury them in Central Park.
	Xiao's sentiment, that's the guy's name, was echoed by a dancing teacher in Beijing.
	She's just looking for a gig as a dancing TikToker.
	No, she was actually skeptical.
	She said, well, I think it might be the vaccines that they're putting out that are making people sick.
	They say it's just flu, but after taking the flu medications, their symptoms haven't improved at all.
	We've seen that for years.
	Decades, as a matter of fact.
	For decades.
	The people who got sick were the ones who took the flu shot.
	The flu shot made them sick.
	Now the flu shot is killing people.
	As a matter of fact, J.D. Vance's 12-year-old relative was denied a heart transplant because she's not vaccinated against COVID and against the flu and against everything else that the hospital can think of.
	They've got a long list of things from the pharmaceutical companies and they want you to take all of these things Give you a heart transplant.
	She's 12 years old.
	This is a family.
	They have 11 or 12 kids.
	Four of them are biological, and they've adopted the rest, and a lot of them are Asian.
	This young girl is Asian, and she has a defective heart.
	But they refuse to put her on the waiting list because of her vaccination status.
	Do you think J.D. Vance cares?
	He's working with the mRNA people.
	He's part of the big tech bros.
	Musk has got his hands at CureVac, dead from the very beginning, a facility to create mRNA.
	I've got a little manufacturing thing here for mRNA.
	You might want to use it.
	You've got Rama Slimy, who's running for...
	Governor of Ohio, he's involved in all this.
	You've got Vance, he's involved in the mRNA as well.
	And as a matter of fact, a more dangerous form of it.
	You know, I had friends who said, well, that's good.
	You know, you look at, I've watched that movie about J.D. Vance, Hillbilly Elegy.
	We saw it.
	We really liked that.
	And after he got the vice presidential nomination, we watched it again after he got nominated.
	He's one of us.
	I said, no, he's not.
	I said, he was.
	He's not anymore.
	He's with them.
	He's with the Technate.
	He's with Teal and Musk and all the rest of them.
	He's doing mRNA vaccines as well.
	Self-amplifying versions of it.
	How much worse is that?
	He's not with us.
	He changed sides.
	Everybody wants to believe that, oh look, Trump reinvented himself.
	He used to want to put trannies in his beauty contest, and now he's banning trannies in schools or whatever.
	Why is he doing that?
	Has he had a change of heart?
	Or is he just telling you whatever you want to hear?
	When you see people that are taking radically, they switch from one extreme position, To the other extreme position, you might want to ask yourself if any of this stuff is real or if they're just telling you what you want to hear.
	So, this young girl, Adeline, has not had any vaccinations as they conflict with her family's religious belief.
	They're Christians.
	They've adopted like seven or eight children.
	Her mother said, when I heard this, I thought, wow.
	So, it's not about the kid, and it's not about saving her life.
	Like the war in Ukraine, it's about money.
	It's always about money.
	I heard a wise man say once, the love of money is the root of all evil.
	Yeah, Jesus said that, didn't he?
	I think he's right.
	These people bow to their master, to the pharmaceutical companies, just like Trump bows to them when they pay him.
	She says, I know I can't put this vaccine in her body knowing what we know and how we feel about it.
	So have you heard anything from J.D. Vance?
	About his cousin?
	Distant cousin, but does he care about this stuff?
	Nah.
	Have we heard anything about Palestine, Ohio lately?
	Nah, as a listener yesterday reminded us.
	So the Daily Mail says, Research has indicated that transplant recipients are at a higher risk of dying from COVID when compared to non-transplant patients.
	Prove it.
	What research?
	You cite any research?
	No, you're just repeating talking points.
	That's an absolute lie.
	An absolute lie.
	People who have heart disease, they want them to get a vaccine that causes heart disease.
	Think about that.
	Yeah, we're going to, you know, this creates myocarditis and pericarditis and heart attacks in children that we've never seen before.
	But we're going to require this child to get it before we give them a new heart.
	Not about their life at all.
	Along with COVID, transplant patients have to also receive vaccines for measles, for mumps, for rubella, for all of that stuff.
	Because, you know, it's just going around.
	They have to get their shots.
	You can't have any medical treatment unless you get that shot.
	She has 12 children.
	Eight who are adopted.
	And so they're looking to take her somewhere else to try to get some treatment for her.
	Meanwhile, there is one politician in Ohio, not Rama Slimy, J.D. Vance, certainly not DeWine, who was telling people, hey, you feel lucky?
	You might win a million dollars if you take the shot.
	Of course, you might die, but hey, you know, step right up.
	Take your chances here.
	Ohio Representative Jennifer Gross is co-sponsoring legislation that will prevent Ohio hospitals from continuing to discriminate against children based on vaccination status, because it's not just about the transplants.
	And I know, I hear people out there have real concerns about transplants.
	They push people into this.
	They are so eager to get the organs that they play games with brain death and all the rest of this.
	I know.
	I've talked about that many times.
	But the principle here is that they say, we've got something here that can save your life.
	But we're not going to give it to you unless you take the vaccine.
	That's the point of all this.
	It's not about transplant versus non-transplant or the evil that is inherent in the whole transplant system.
	So this Ohio state representative says, I'm proud to be the sponsor of an Ohio bill that seeks to prevent discrimination against religious liberty.
	Because it's all treatments, folks.
	It's all treatment.
	But of course, J.D. Vance is not going to get involved in this.
	Rama Slimy is not going to get involved in this.
	How could Rama Slimy and J.D. Vance get involved in this to say we're going to let people not have the vaccine?
	I don't want to draw attention to people who are concerned about the vaccine.
	They want to sell you self-amplifying mRNA.
	So Jensen, who offered this bill, is working with Ohio Advocates for Medical Freedom to support the bill, said...
	I'm so hopeful that this bill will save all the other children and adults so they don't have to go through Adeline's, what Adeline has had to go through.
	It's 2026, 2025, and it's time to move on from all of this madness.
	It is.
	And yet they want to keep, the word for the day is clawing it back.
	They want to claw back the pandemic.
	And moving on is not the concern of the Trump administration.
	Not moving on from all this stuff.
	Have you heard any reforms about that?
	Talked about?
	No.
	The People's Vaccine Inquiry.
	This is happening in the UK. The government ran its own inquiry, and they were so disgusted with the fact that it was a cover-up.
	And it always is.
	You talk about the JFK Commission, or you talk about the 9-11 Commission.
	All of these commissions are there to bury the truth.
	And so on the first day of the long-awaited Module 4 of the UK COVID inquiry, it became clear that the inquiry was going to do everything it could to bury evidence that did not suit the narrative of the vaccines are safe and effective.
	And it continued to gaslight the many who had been vaccine injured.
	In response, a group of experts held a press conference to set the record straight.
	The group called itself the People's Vaccine Inquiry.
	And so in June of 2024, when Module 4 of the government It was originally due to be held, but was postponed to 2025. A group of experts who were called to submit witness statements believed it was the public's interest to give immediate access to their expert testimony.
	So they formed the People's Vaccine Inquiry.
	We haven't done anything like that here in the United States, have we?
	It reminds me of the Oklahoma City bombing.
	You had a guy who was on the grand jury there looking at it.
	He's asking questions.
	You're not supposed to ask questions.
	You're supposed to rubber stamp what we tell you is the truth.
	Hoppy Heidelberg was his name.
	It's an easy name to remember.
	And so he made a real nuisance out of himself.
	And they kicked him off or he resigned because he wasn't getting anywhere.
	And he set up his own inquiry about it.
	And people are serious.
	That's what needs to happen with this.
	Meanwhile, the FDA lab has uncovered excess DNA contamination in COVID-19 vaccines.
	We've been told this over and over again.
	This is a basis for the Florida Surgeon General saying, we don't recommend these.
	They're tainted.
	They've known this for a long time.
	And in Florida, they did not ban them.
	But they said, we don't recommend them.
	Well, now this is a situation where we had a group of students.
	Student researchers.
	They were under supervision of FDA scientists.
	And what they did was they tested some of these batches.
	And they were sourced from a very trusted supplier affiliated with the NIAID. That is Fauci's thing.
	What they found was DNA contamination levels that exceeded the regulatory safety limit.
	By anywhere from 6 to 470 times.
	I mean, 6 times would be astounding, wouldn't it?
	But they got up to nearly 500 times the allowed level.
	Now, this has been known.
	As I said, Latipo in Florida said we need to stop this because of this.
	There's been a lot of reports about it, and yet here it is again.
	And now we have some quantitative numbers on it, between 6 and 470 times the limit.
	FDA is supposed to pull this stuff off.
	I remember, you know, in the last couple of weeks, I might have mentioned it, but I've seen it now a couple of times.
	Once was with potato chips, and I forget where the other one was.
	And the headline was, deadly product recalled.
	And unlabeled an ingredient, and it could cause instant death.
	I thought, what in the world is that?
	And I look at it, and it says, we found milk.
	And so I... It's on the potato chips, and it wasn't labeled that way.
	So anybody who has a milk allergy could die.
	And I know that is very serious.
	But, you know, it's supposed to say contains milk or whatever, and it was contaminated with milk, which is, in and of itself, not bad for most people.
	This is something that is new, really.
	Never had heard of it, but we did have a friend who had a daughter who had a severe milk allergy.
	And it was life-threatening if she got it.
	And I'd never heard of that before.
	All of this stuff, just like autism, is coming to us courtesy of the big pharmaceutical companies.
	Never heard of this in my lifetime.
	And I think the massive, the broad spread of peanut allergies is part of that as well.
	All these different allergies to things.
	But she was so sensitive to milk, and she'd been so sick from getting milk at certain times, she could smell milk.
	If it was in any food, I mean, she'd, you know, no, no, it's got milk in it.
	She's right, it's got milk in it.
	Well, maybe, you know, I understand the issue, but the way it was reported by the press, it's got this ingredient that's not reported that could kill you.
	But they're not concerned about DNA scraps that are up to 500 times the legal limit.
	They won't pull the product off the market.
	They are supposed to by their own regulations.
	They just ignore it.
	That's why I said FDA means free to do anything if you're Pfizer or Moderna or some of these others.
	So what they did was they did two different types of analyses.
	They did a nanodrop analysis.
	They said this technique uses UV spectrometry to measure the combined levels of DNA and RNA in the vaccine while it provides an initial assessment.
	It tends to overestimate DNA concentrations due to interference from RNA, even when RNA removal kits are utilized.
	So then they did a second analysis, a qubit analysis.
	For more precise measurements, the researchers relied on the qubit system, which quantifies double-stranded DNA using fluorometric dye.
	Well, I'll tell you what they're saying it is.
	Of course, that doesn't mean anything to most of us.
	But the bottom line is that they've got two different methods that they use.
	One of them will show a higher number, and the other one will show a lesser number.
	And that's why you have the range of anywhere from 6 to 470. But even if it was the lowest one, at 6, it ought to be pulled.
	Because it's six times.
	That is 600% over, you know, what they're supposed to do.
	These findings align with early reports.
	From independent labs in the U.S., Canada, Australia, Germany, and France.
	So Kevin McKiernan, a former director of the Human Genome Project, described the findings as bombshell and criticized the FDA for its lack of action.
	These findings are significant not just for what they reveal, but for what they suggest has been concealed from public scrutiny.
	Why has the FDA kept these data under wraps?
	Money?
	Money?
	When is Musk going to do the deep data dive on the FDA and the CDC and the NIAID and the rest of these?
	Have they not talked about that?
	That's not their first priority, is it?
	McCarronen highlighted another potential cancer-causing mechanism of DNA contamination of the vaccines.
	He said plasmid DNA fragments...
	Entering the cell's cytoplasm with the help of lipid nanoparticles could overstimulate the sea gas sting pathway, whatever that is.
	But he says that could cause you to have cancer.
	This might be the mechanism by which they have turbo cancer.
	He says to assert that the DNA fragments are non-functional, they would need to transfect mammalian cells and perform sequencing, which wasn't done here.
	Oh, in other words, they need to do some...
	Actual science.
	You know, let's isolate things.
	Let's give this to, let's isolate it, and then we can give it to one group and then not give it to the other group.
	No, they don't do any of that stuff with the vaccines.
	They don't do any of that stuff with the virus either.
	That's why I don't believe that there was even a virus.
	They didn't do any of this.
	And so there is no testing.
	There is no science to stop a quote-unquote virus.
	Which was never isolated.
	Moreover, the methods used in this study don't effectively capture the full length of DNA fragments.
	That's the other part of it.
	When they do these PCR tests, they haven't isolated the virus, so they're just imagining what it would be.
	And they're not even looking at the full DNA sequence of the imagined virus.
	They're just looking for a small fragment of that DNA sequence.
	That's how ridiculous this is.
	That's why we need to call it bird brain flu.
	You have to have a bird brain in order to believe what they're doing.
	A more rigorous sequencing analysis could reveal SV40 fragments, several thousand base pairs along, which would likely still be functional, he said.
	So again, we're only looking for the portion of a purported DNA strand that was never isolated in the first place.
	But we're told that it escaped from the lab.
	No, it was the Trump shot that escaped from the lab.
	And these people in the lab are not doing any science at all.
	And they don't care what's in the bioweapon.
	The irony is striking, he said.
	These students performed essential work that the regulators failed to do.
	Imagine that.
	How did that happen?
	Wow.
	And again, notice that Doge has not looked at the FDA, the CDC, the...
	NIH, the NIAID. Not even interested in them yet, right?
	A German startup with ties to the Gates Foundation has been awarded $5 billion to develop nasal mRNA vaccines.
	They want to shoot them in your arms.
	They want to shoot them up your nose in a spray.
	They want to put it in your food.
	That's what this bird brain flu stuff is really about, I think.
	Spray-dried RNA vaccines that are suitable.
	For mucosal delivery.
	So the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations.
	That's CEPI. They get lots of Gates money.
	And so they gave money to them.
	But Gates has in the past given them money as well.
	The Gates Foundation.
	So they've gotten $5 million from the Gates Foundation.
	Then another $5 million from the organization that he funds.
	CEPI. The other one.
	The nasal vaccines would use spray-dried technology.
	That is also used in asthma inhalers.
	Stop right there.
	Weren't we told that we had to get rid of asthma inhalers because of climate change?
	We just let people die because they can't breathe?
	So you can't have anything that's going to let you breathe again.
	It's going to open up your pathways because that could affect the climate.
	But we're going to do this now with mRNA.
	We will do inhalers for mRNA, but not for asthma relief.
	Tell me that they don't want to kill us.
	When I put that in the title, they shut my stuff down.
	Anyway, the vaccine would remain stable at room temperature, which would eliminate the need for cold chain logistics as being used for mRNA vaccines.
	Because you don't want to have, as it warms up, you don't want to have what happened with two million doses and two separate shipments to Japan where they got warmed up.
	And they started noticing this little black particulates that kind of came out of it, and they reacted with magnets.
	So they reported that, but they also threw them away.
	So you don't want to have that happen.
	It's kind of hard to cover that up, but they were successful in doing it.
	I mean, there's a few places that reported it, and then the story went away.
	But, yeah, if you don't keep it cold, evidently what happens is some stuff.
	Precipitates out of it.
	Is it nanotech?
	What is it?
	I don't know.
	But it reacts with magnets.
	Nasal vaccines are not new.
	They said in 2003, the FDA approved flu mist.
	A nasal vaccine targeting flu virus subtypes A and B. Flu mist does not use mRNA technology, but like everything else they do, it gets people sick.
	It creates its own problems.
	And it doesn't make a difference for people getting...
	Flu.
	In 2016, flu mist, now acquired by AstraZeneca, was pulled off the U.S. market because it was ineffective.
	And then in 2018, two years later, the FDA again approved the vaccine.
	And in September 2024, the FDA approved flu mist for at-home administration.
	VAERS data, so it's not effective.
	And it's also not safe.
	VAERS data shows that 11,121 adverse events have been reported following the administration of flu mist products, including 947 that were classified as serious.
	About half of the reports were for children 17 and under.
	A 2011 Harvard study, of course, found that only 1% of adverse events were even reported to VAERS. And so, 11,000 reported in just a short period of time that it was on the market.
	And that's not even the mRNA version.
	That's just flu mist.
	So that story is from Children's Health Defense.
	So...
	Whistler says great name.
	I can't wait to snort some flu mist.
	You want the flu?
	Take this flu mist.
	Because that's the way this stuff works.
	You take that and you always get sick with the flu.
	How many times have we seen...
	These virtue signaling celebrities in the years before COVID rolling up their sleeves and telling their audience, look, I'm getting my flu shot this year.
	You should all get your flu shot.
	And then, where are they?
	Well, they're home sick with the flu the next couple of days, right?
	Matthew Ronson says, flu is bad, but call it COVID and it's a deadly plague.
	And nearly certain death, yeah.
	Atomic Dog says, yes, David, I keep telling my wife that there are so many hypochondriacs now since COVID, every sniffle they run to the doctor.
	Yeah, and give me my PCR test.
	You found what?
	Oh, no.
	Go kill all the chickens.
	Chevkin, my cousin hung up on me last week because I called COVID fake.
	I know the feeling.
	Believe me, I know the feeling.
	Fear shuts down thinking, says S-Flow 818. Jason Barker, good to see you, Jason.
	Nice of a storm.
	He says, my neighbor ran over a squirrel.
	And I had it sent off for testing to determine if it's bird flu or COVID. I'm awaiting the results.
	Jerry Alitalo says it's extremely distressing to understand there are likely millions and millions of people who can't wait to get their cancer-curing mRNA injections.
	Yeah, made just for you.
	And who was it that did that again?
	I told people about Trump.
	I was looking at, by the way, we fixed on our website, we had some podcasts that were no longer on.
	Some of them, well, one of them, we used to be on Google Player, but then Google Player is now on YouTube.
	So we're gone from there because they don't like me on YouTube.
	And then there were some other places that we were that were not listed on the website, like we're on Amazon.
	Most people listen on Apple iTunes.
	But anyway, so we updated that, and as I was checking to see where we were and where we weren't, I noticed a comment from some guy, and he says, and this is from March of last year, David is always talking about Trump.
	I don't know why I would talk about it.
	He says, he's always talking about Trump and Alex Jones and Jesus.
	I was like, what?
	I'm trying to save you.
	I'm trying to warn you about the things, the people that are trying to kill you.
	I'm trying to point you to the Savior.
	Trump and Alex aren't your Savior.
	But this person thinks that they are.
	He's very upset with me for talking about that.
	I can't understand why we'd be talking about Trump since he's like the epicenter of all the news that is out there politically.
	It's unavoidable.
	Because he's such an agent of chaos.
	But he was standing there.
	You know, I'd warn people.
	I said, you know, Trump is coming back.
	Shut up.
	Leave him alone.
	You know, back in 2021. Leave him alone.
	He's finished, right?
	He's not finished.
	He's coming back.
	And so even when I'm right about that, I get hammered with that.
	Because we know that he's a good guy, don't we?
	And he would never do the kind of stuff that he did in 2020. It was either he was playing everybody with 4D chess or he was being played.
	But either way, he's our savior.
	And so what does he do?
	After he's in office for just a couple of days, he holds a conference to push mRNA vaccines again.
	Can't they see this?
	I know you see it or you would have turned me off by now.
	I just can't, you know, to me it's mind-blowing.
	Here he is, he's holding a conference talking about how they're going to set up custom mRNA vaccines and then cure you of cancer when we've been talking for years about how we've got turbo cancer from it.
	And the same news organizations, and I'm going to call them con media, the conservative media.
	It's a con.
	Just like the liberal media, you know, we need to not call them liberals.
	We need to call them the libel media, you know, because whatever you do, they call you a terrorist, an insurrectionist, a racist, or whatever.
	They're just libel.
	They're not liberal.
	They're libels.
	But the conservative media is there to con you.
	And so they're going to talk about all this bad stuff, but then they're going to tell you that Trump is your savior, that Trump is real, and they're going to tell you that the pandemic was real because they're paving the way for Trump to do what he's going to do again.
	And they're doing it for money.
	They're doing it for the love of money.
	Same reason we have these wars.
	Audi, Modern Retro Radio.
	Good to see you.
	So he says, so Musk and Trump, see, no need to look into the CDC, the FDA, the NIH, eh?
	Very interesting, but stupid.
	That's exactly what this whole stuff is about.
	Well, we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.
	PIANO PLAYS
	PIANO PLAYS PIANO PLAYS Defending the American Dream.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Well, Brian and Deb McCartney said, David, have you seen the cream delivery for vaccines?
	No, I haven't.
	Maybe that's why they're coming after raw milk.
	I don't know.
	I haven't seen that.
	I've got something on that.
	Send it to me.
	Jason Barker.
	One of the rare side effects of the flu shot is death.
	People don't know that.
	It's actually listed, but nobody reads it.
	Yeah, when you look at the inserts, like I said, I've had, you know, Whistler was injured with an antibiotic.
	My mother was injured with an antibiotic.
	She had a massive stroke, and it was caused by the antibiotic.
	And when you look at it, it does list that as one of the many things.
	And we went in to try to get some natural supplements to try to help.
	There's a couple of young girls at this small pharmacy, and we were asking for several different things and said, you know, what is it that you're trying to do, just out of curiosity?
	So we told them.
	And one of them was a pharmacist, and, you know, they were both surprised, but the one who was checking us out with what we were able to find.
	She said, yeah, you know, I just don't even want to read the list of things that can happen.
	I was like, really?
	You better read it.
	You better believe it.
	Because they don't put that stuff on there unless there is a strong correlation for a lot of people.
	I mean, they don't, out of overabundance, put something in there.
	They put that in there reluctantly.
	And mainly, they're counting on us not to read it.
	That's the key thing.
	So, let's take a look at what is happening with the news here.
	We have, hang on just one second.
	As I said before, we had massive moves towards peace.
	But the key issue we're going to be talking to Tony pretty soon about this is going to be inflation.
	And everybody's talking about inflation.
	They're talking about the supply chain disruption.
	And you've got Costco and a lot of other large chains are putting people on basically rationing eggs.
	You can only have by this many at a time.
	But the egg prices went up 15% just in January.
	Now, that's not on Trump.
	That's on Biden.
	And we know what the basis of that is.
	But wouldn't that be the first thing that you would do is to stop that?
	I don't know.
	That would be the first thing I would do.
	It's pretty easy.
	It doesn't require any money to stop the USDA. Just shut them down completely.
	But you could at least stop their murder, wholesale slaughter, literally, of birds.
	And so this is a story, CBS. And they say, egg prices shot up 15% in January as retailers are limiting customer purchases.
	And they say, so why are eggs so expensive?
	Well, here is CBS's answer.
	The price spike in eggs is largely driven by bird flu, which continues to hit farms and wipe out flocks.
	Is that what's happening?
	Bird flu is not killing 10, 15, actually it's like 13 million, 14 million a month.
	That's not bird flu killing them.
	That's the USDA killing them.
	They come in and they get one bird that has a false flag PCR test.
	And on the basis of that, they kill all the birds.
	And they're killing 13 million, 14 million a month.
	Last couple of months.
	It's not bird flu that's killing them.
	It's the USDA. Come on.
	Bird brain.
	If you don't have a bird, you don't have an egg, they said.
	I guess CBS is talking to really stupid people.
	Really?
	Is that where the eggs come from?
	They come from a bird?
	That was...
	That was, somebody told that to their CBS News reporter, Andres Guterres.
	The millions of egg-laying hens killed by avian flu.
	No, they're killed by the USDA. Can't be replaced easily and quickly.
	High egg prices are due to the avian flu issue.
	No, they're due to the USDA issue.
	Which is cutting the supply of available eggs for sale.
	Yeah, this is bird flu for dummies.
	You'll soon see that book on the shelf.
	So when will egg prices drop?
	Well, now they go to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which is appropriate since they're the ones killing all the birds for no reason.
	Again, if it was, let's say that it's a virus, and let's say that it's got a high case fatality rate, maybe it's going to kill.
	40-50% of the birds that are there.
	Remember, Rod Redfield was trying to scare us.
	He said, you know, it's just inevitable before this bird flu transmogrifies into a human virus.
	And when that happens, I know it's going to kill 25-50% of the humans.
	So be afraid.
	Okay.
	If that's a scary number, how does he know any of that?
	Well, he doesn't.
	He's just making it up, obviously.
	But it was reported everywhere.
	Look at this.
	It's coming.
	And it's going to kill 25-50% of the people who get sick with it.
	So that's a big, that's a very dangerous situation, isn't it?
	According to their paradigm, you've got a virus, and if you get that virus, you get the cooties, 25 to 50% of you are going to die.
	Well, let's say that's the situation with birds.
	So then why are you killing 100% of the birds?
	When you've got only one bird that's got a PCR false flag.
	Why are you killing all of them?
	Well, we know why.
	So, the USDA says egg prices are expected to rise a total of 20% in 2025. That's what they're aiming for.
	Two things have to happen for prices to ease, according to the USDA. The U.S. must contain the bird flu and older chickens that are past their productive primes, as well as diseased chickens, have to be replaced.
	Exactly how long all of this will take is uncertain, says the USDA. How long would it take to get rid of the USDA? Should be able to do it in an afternoon, wouldn't you think?
	I wouldn't be surprised, said one of their experts, to see prices continue to go up because we continue to have outbreaks.
	No, I wouldn't be surprised to see the prices go up because we continue to have USDA. And we continue to have the mockingbird flu.
	Because, you know, it's whatever the government says it is.
	We're just going to repeat it.
	Biden's parting legacy, it says Zero Hedge, is the most expensive breakfast ever.
	You see, it's Biden.
	It's Biden.
	It's not the USDA. It's just Biden.
	It's partisan politics from Zero Hedge.
	This is what you can expect from the con media.
	That's trying to con you and all this stuff.
	Don't worry.
	Everything's fine now.
	We're going to get it under control because Trump is there.
	No, if the USDA stays, they're going to continue to kill birds and everything is going to continue to get worse.
	And they're going to do the same thing with cattle and they're going to do the same thing with dairy.
	And nobody wants to point out the fact that the C40 agenda, all these cities, Bloomberg, Sadiq Khan, the UN, they want to make sure that we don't have milk and dairy.
	This is the way you do it.
	They want to make sure we don't have farms.
	They want to make sure that the farms that do exist are going to be owned by the technate and that they are going to put the mRNA in our food as well, not just in the nasal spray.
	We just witnessed the largest monthly jump in the price of breakfast ever, says Zero Hedge.
	And so, you know, but it's all Biden's fault.
	It's not the USDA. So the problem's been taken care of.
	Biden is gone.
	Even though the USDA remains, Biden is gone.
	And so the problem is taken care of.
	The cost of a decent meal to start the day.
	Eggs, bacon, cheese, bread, and coffee rose over 50%.
	Mainly due to the cost of eggs, they said.
	And so they're not going to talk about the real issue.
	And then here's the other issue that's on its way to be inflationary.
	And that is the tariffs.
	And it's not just the Canadian and Mexican tariffs that he scared everybody with, but now he's put tariffs on steel and aluminum.
	And so the automobile industry, in a meeting that they were having, they were speaking at Wolf Research Conference on Tuesday.
	And so you have the CEO of Ford, the CEO of GM, and the two American car companies that are left.
	They said, we're looking at costs and chaos.
	That's what the Ford CEO said.
	He said the Trump tariffs will, quote, blow a hole, unquote, in the auto industry.
	So he said whether we're targeting neighbors like Canada and Mexico or raw materials like steel and aluminum, it's going to wreak havoc on the car industry.
	He said let's be real, honest, long term, a 25% tariff across Mexico and Canadian borders will blow a hole in the U.S. industry that we have never seen, said Farley, the CEO of Ford.
	The tariffs on steel and aluminum also tax the very materials that cars are built from.
	GM executives at the same event admitted that they are scrambling to soften the blow.
	CEO Mary Barrett told investors they could only, quote, mitigate 30 to 50 percent of tariffs without deploying capital.
	The CEO of Anderson Economic Group said that tariffs could deliver, quote, a triple whammy for the auto industry and could hammer states, economies, and states like Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana.
	They said, we are scrambling to manage the company as professionals, and we are in a global race.
	You see, by changing from Biden or Lala to Trump, what they do is they still continue to attack the automobile industry.
	They just do it in a different way.
	But the goal is to get rid of private cars.
	Because we've got people, as I showed you yesterday, Elon Musk wants to make sure that we all rent our rides from him.
	We rent our cars, our transportation, buy the ride from Elon Musk.
	That has been in the works for the longest time.
	That you will not buy a car.
	You'll not even rent a car.
	You'll rent the ride.
	And you'll rent it from people like Elon Musk.
	And so Trump has got his own new spin.
	Isn't it interesting?
	The Democrats will attack from this direction and the Republicans will attack from that direction, but they always have the same end goal.
	And that's what this is, to get rid of the private car.
	So we can all be grateful and feel a sense of relief, can't we, that Tulsi Gabbard was approved yesterday by the Senate?
	And the only thing that the media wants to talk about is how that evil guy, Mitch McConnell, was the only Republican to vote against her.
	Shame on him.
	They don't want to talk about her world economic forum issue.
	They don't want to talk about actually what she does in the military.
	They don't want to talk about her connections with this Hindu government that is a radical terrorist government murdering.
	We should all just be so grateful that Tulsi Gabbard is now going to be Director of National Intelligence.
	Mr. President, first and foremost, I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for the trust that you have placed in me to fulfill this critical position as director of national intelligence at any time, but specifically during this time.
	Unfortunately, the American people have very little trust in the intelligence community.
	I have no trust in you.
	Whatever that is.
	Is that so that they survive and we die?
	Very clearly in this election to refocus our intelligence community by empowering the great patriots who have chosen to serve our country in this way and focus on ensuring the safety, security and freedom of the American people.
	As you've said, Mr. President, this is what I've dedicated my life to, and it is truly humbling to be in this position to serve in your administration, help to rebuild that trust and ultimately to keep the American people safe.
	Last thing I'll mention, that in your National Prayer Breakfast speech, you made a statement about your legacy of wanting to be remembered as a peacemaker.
	I know that I can speak for many of my fellow service members who are here today, veterans, Medal of Honor recipients, how deeply that resonates with us.
	For those who volunteer to put their lives on the line when duty calls, but to have a president, commander-in-chief who recognizes the cost of that sacrifice.
	And ensuring that war is the last resort, not the first.
	So thank you for your leadership on behalf of my friends here and all who wear the uniform.
	We're grateful.
	Thank you.
	Well, spoken like a real World Economic Forum young leader there, which is what she is.
	And it was right after the prayer breakfast.
	At the prayer breakfast, did they talk anything about the people who were being burned alive in India by her friends?
	And the radical Indian government and Modi, who's going to be there today.
	Isn't that interesting timing that they get her in there?
	Well, her purpose is to restore trust in the intelligence agency.
	You will never restore my trust in the intelligence agency.
	Anybody that understands what these intelligence agencies are about should never trust them.
	But that's her job.
	That's her PR assignment.
	She's going to be the person who's going to restore trust.
	The person who, as a lieutenant colonel in the reserves, is a specialist in psyops.
	She is a psyop.
	She poses with pictures where she does the triangle thing and puts that out on profiles and stuff.
	Very deliberate.
	You know, a lot of people are saying, well, look, you know, Musk is standing there and he's talking and he's doing his hands like this and kind of making a...
	I don't know if that's deliberate or not, but I know that she did that deliberately.
	What was she trying to send to us as a message?
	This is somebody who was a Bernie Sanders supporter.
	And a strong Bernie Sanders supporter.
	And yet, all conservative media can talk about is the fact that that dastardly Mitch McConnell...
	And I agree.
	I mean, I think he's a scoundrel.
	He's absolutely a scoundrel.
	Most of these guys, instead of calling him Senator, we ought to call him Sinister.
	Sinister McConnell.
	This is a guy who has betrayed his country over and over again.
	You know, from whether it's the treaties like the Paris Climate Accord that he never called a vote for.
	But, I mean, I just go on and on about all the betrayals that Mitch McConnell has done to our country.
	But this is the one that really gets the conservative media going.
	You know, by the way, take an anagram of Senator, and what can you get out of it?
	Treason.
	That certainly applies to Mitch.
	Gabbard, a Democrat-turned-Republican, supports President Trump.
	Well, there you go.
	Also a Democrat-turned-Republican.
	Or maybe they're just both still Democrats.
	Maybe they're both still connected to the World Economic Forum.
	Her previous opposition to renewing a key government surveillance authority, these are the things that made it an uphill climb for her, according to CBS News, was her previous Well, what was that?
	And why should the government be doing surveillance on us, right?
	But it's previous.
	She now is on board with that.
	That's Section 702. And so she made that clear, that she was caving on that.
	Look, Tulsi Gabbard is somebody who said she was pro-life.
	Then she wanted to get elected as a Democrat in Hawaii, so she became pro-abortion.
	She was against surveillance, warrantless surveillance by the NSA, until she wanted to get into office, and then she is now for it.
	And on and on, just like Trump.
	What is it about these people who are given a pass by the con media when they do radical about-faces on things that they had hung their hat on?
	Look, they don't have any principles.
	They've got positions.
	And they're constantly changing positions.
	On things.
	So, you know, she pushed for pardon for Snowden.
	So she's now walked back all of this stuff.
	And now they're fine with her.
	She previously served in Congress as a Democrat.
	She supported socialist Bernie Sanders.
	But now she's good for us.
	She's good.
	And cheered by MAGA. Because they don't have any principles.
	They only follow Trump, whoever Trump wants to be.
	I see so many times people say, you used to be good.
	What happened to you?
	What happened to you, man?
	Now you're sounding like Matt Drudge or something.
	It's like, well, I'm not cheering the Democrats either.
	Matt Drudge is.
	But, you know, I just want to tell them, look, I didn't board the Trump train.
	You're the one who boarded the Trump train.
	And you have no idea where this is going.
	No, I'm standing still.
	I'm standing on my principles where I always was.
	You're the one who's moving.
	You got on the Trump train, and he's taking you to I know where, but you don't have any idea where it's going, do you?
	I'm just trying to tell the people who are on the Trump train that they're headed toward the concentration camps.
	Because they are.
	I'm just standing still where I was, always was.
	What happened to you, man?
	Well, we're going to find out what happened to the economy.
	We're going to take a quick break here, and we're going to get Tony Arterman on the line.
	We didn't have a chance to talk to Tony last week, so looking forward to him.
	A lot of stuff is happening very quickly.
	I mean, things are going to change very, very rapidly.
	That's why President Trump is there, I believe.
	Tail end of the fourth turning.
	You know, a week.
	Men bring bad times.
	That's the part of the fourth generation that we're in right now.
	And these times are going to be, we've been headed downhill for quite some time, and now we're picking up speed as we get towards the tail end of this thing.
	So financially, things are changing very, very rapidly, and we're going to talk to Tony about that.
	So stay with us.
	We will be right back.

	And now, Tony Arterman is joining us of Wise Wolf Gold.
	And, of course, you can get there through davidknight.gold.
	That'll let him know that you're coming through us.
	And it has been a whirlwind of events, hasn't it, Tony, over the last couple of weeks.
	It's been two weeks since we've talked to you.
	And it's amazing how much things have changed.
	I don't remember what the price of gold was when we talked two weeks ago, but it's been setting all-time highs all the time.
	Where is it today?
	Oh, let's check really quick.
	Spot price for gold, 2,914 Luciferian Bankster notes make a troy ounce of the yellow metal as of right now.
	Wow.
	And, of course, it's the, you know, look, 13th of February, 2025. Look back, and I think this will be seen as the era of cheap gold, honestly, David.
	Yeah.
	And we've seen this continues to break out and break all-time highs.
	And I remind the audience, there wasn't an all-time high between 2011 and 2020. There was no all-time high.
	And we've broken the all-time high for gold against the dollar over 30 some odd times in the last year alone.
	So this is a trend that's only going to continue.
	And I want to talk to you today about disappearing.
	Gold inventory around the world in different vaults.
	The Chinese, the Russians, the London markets.
	It's being re-evaluated and reallocated all over the world.
	It's a really interesting one.
	And you've talked about this for the longest time.
	You said, you know, we talked about the paper gold.
	I read a long article earlier this week about silver, and a guy recounted his experiences.
	I forget what year it was, but it was right after the Great Recession.
	And, you know, they said, well, we want to take some delivery of silver, and what should have taken five days took us something like nine months or something, right?
	And he talked about the different excuses that they made.
	They kept putting it off and everything.
	But we're seeing that, and I think it was after the last time I talked to you, you and I have been talking about for the longest time...
	About paper gold and paper silver, the Shanghai Gold Exchange, and how, well, we don't really think all that stuff is there.
	It doesn't seem to move in sequence with gold.
	When gold makes big moves, it just kind of stays the same.
	Sometimes it goes in a different direction.
	Something is weird going on here.
	And he said, yeah, I think we're going to find out.
	That they don't have all this stuff, and when we find out, then that's really going to shake up the market.
	Well, then we had the London Metals Exchange, and a lot of stuff is being repatriated.
	Actually, you mentioned that two weeks ago, and you said, I'm going to break this news here, what is happening in London.
	And I'm still not sure as to why so much stuff is being pulled back into New York.
	Has anybody come up with a motivation for that?
	Well, there's speculation that Trump may do another executive order overriding FDR and Nixon, returning us to some sort of gold standard.
	I don't believe that, by the way.
	But there's a lot of rumors floating around because of the flurry of executive orders and some bold moves being made.
	You're going to have to do something radical to stabilize the dollar as the world continues to de-dollarize.
	So those things might be simulated on the table.
	I don't know.
	But that has to do with tariffs, David.
	So we always knew that something would happen.
	Some event would trigger this exposure of paper gold versus physical gold in the bullion houses.
	And the West has been playing a dangerous game since the late 1970s.
	I've interviewed Stuart Engler, who wrote the book, Rigged.
	I do believe that the powers that be in the central banks collude with the bullion houses to ensure that the price of gold does not continually expose the weakness in the dollar.
	That's the game behind all of this.
	You were talking about the story with the Canadian buyer about silver after the Great Recession and how that exposed What was wrong?
	And if you remember, silver and gold, that's when gold reached over $1,900 an ounce.
	This is 2011. And silver went up to close to its all-time high of around $50 an ounce.
	And that's when Ben Bernanke came out and said, oh, wait, wait, this is going to be calmed down.
	We won't do TARP again.
	We won't do these kind of injections.
	There's going to be regulation.
	We're going to fix all this.
	And the markets calmed down.
	And that's a long time ago.
	I think the debt of the U.S. around there was around $11 trillion.
	So it seems pretty quaint in those times.
	We've long since crossed the Rubicon of massive quantitative easing and currency injection.
	So I think what's really being exposed here, David, I think at the end of the day, is that the bullion houses are going to see a...
	A record number of orders being sent in to say, give me my gold, and they won't be able to make it.
	So it's really the tariffs causing the repatriation of physical gold around the world and the uncertainty of the tariffs being placed on incoming products into the U.S., all of this is creating chaos.
	That little bit of chaos, and I was thinking of...
	You'd call it a black swan.
	You could call it a Black Dawn event.
	This is where you've got Donald Trump is going to inject this chaos, and this could be the trigger that brings in the entire revaluation of precious metals.
	Yeah, he is a chaos agent.
	And isn't it interesting that he has as his Treasury Secretary, the guy that was leading the effort for Soros to break the Bank of England?
	He's bringing him in as treasury secretary.
	He's like, hold on, it's going to be a wild ride coming up in the next couple of years.
	I tell you, it's amazing how quickly everything is changing.
	And again, he is there as an agent of chaos.
	I'm absolutely certain that's why they installed him.
	That's what it appears to be.
	Would we be watching this price move if it had been a different outcome in the election?
	I still think we'd be marching towards $3,000 an ounce gold, no problem.
	It's just that the reasons are different.
	It doesn't really matter.
	The fundamentals of what causes the price spike in precious metals are all there.
	I can't explain silver just yet, but I think those things are about to come to a head as well because the above-ground supply doesn't meet demand, and if the contracts for paper silver continue not to be fulfilled, all bets are off.
	You're no longer going to be able to see it's $32.23 an ounce right now for silver.
	That's so insanely cheap, given the debasement of the dollar over the past 50 years.
	It's insane.
	And again, I remind people, the all-time high for silver was $52.50 an ounce in 1980. And $52.50 in 1980 is like $300 today in purchasing power.
	I mean, I don't know the metric, but it's off the charts.
	So precious metals in the face of currency debasement, especially with the dollar, are still insanely cheap, even with these all-time highs.
	Yeah, there was a listener who sent me a YouTube video.
	I mentioned it briefly.
	I'd like to get your comments on it.
	The guy's got a channel.
	He calls it Silver Seeker.
	Maybe you're familiar with it.
	I don't know.
	But he was at a coin show.
	And I don't know if it was strictly silver or if they had other stuff there.
	But, you know, they're selling collectible coins, but then also just selling regular rounds and things.
	And so this guy went to all these different dealers, and most of them would speak on record on the camera.
	But then there was another two or three that he said they didn't want to go on record, but this is what they told me.
	But they all said, I'm just not selling any silver.
	And he goes, everybody wants to sell it to me, and they're coming in and cashing in stuff.
	And so he goes, it's really strange.
	The price of silver is going down.
	The guy who sent it to me said, yeah, when nobody wants something that's got value, that's the time to accumulate it.
	What is your take on that?
	Is that what you're seeing at Wise Wolf?
	Yes.
	It's absolutely bizarre.
	The prices are moving upward, but at the same time, the average The consumer, the buyer that I normally have isn't there.
	And so I wonder, does it support the economic...
	You know, theory of supply and demand, except for there is demand.
	And it's institutional.
	So that's what you've got to watch.
	The reason, like, I've made so many trips to the trading floor, and it's been a wild ride the last 120 days.
	I've never seen my business like this in the entire time I've been open.
	People selling to me.
	You know, I normally don't buy lots of, which is like the larger silver bars.
	Those are for people to keep long-term.
	When people come to me and they say, well, I want to store silver long-term, I generally put them in larger bars.
	I'm like, well, just, you know, let's get as many ounces as you can for your dollar if you're not going to be using it to trade or anything like that.
	People are selling me a lot of that kind of stuff.
	And the buyers that normally are there.
	Now, we've had an uptick in the last couple of weeks.
	It's been great for individual buyers, but that is a very apt analysis of what's actually happening.
	I can call the big brokers.
	I talk to them all the time, every single day.
	They see the same thing.
	Everybody's selling and the prices are declining.
	The prices are going up.
	And so I would tell people in the audience, if you're smart, you'll look and see, you know, again, look at the price and then see that that has a demand.
	Somebody's buying it.
	It's banks, folks.
	You know, I remind JP Morgan Chase is the largest holder of silver in the world.
	They were convicted of suppressing the silver price.
	So wrap your head around that.
	Again, all of this is really about institutional central bank buying, whether it's silver or whether it's gold.
	I mean, Russia just put silver as a strategic reserve asset on the books.
	They're the first country to do that really since the Chinese were primarily the holders of silver in the 20th century.
	Early 20th century.
	This is an interesting time.
	I still think that the prices are insanely low.
	But when you see people not buying, and that's the problem right now with precious metals is people are selling like crazy, but somebody's buying it.
	And that's what I would remind people.
	It's something you should look at.
	When the big banks and the institutions are buying, you should probably think about it.
	And I think some of this is going to be due to the fact that individual consumers are feeling the pressure of inflation, and that's why they're cashing in on this.
	Even though the price is low, you have to do it if you've got to get some...
	You've got to cash in so that you can pay your taxes.
	That's one of the things he said some guy came in.
	I asked him, why are you doing this?
	He says, well, I've got to pay taxes, and so I'm cashing in a bunch of silver to do that.
	But things are getting hard for individuals, and yet the big institutions, the big banks, they see the value that is there.
	And so they're profiting at other people's expenses.
	And I totally understand that.
	And that's why my company exists.
	I'm happy to buy the product.
	I'll buy everything.
	That's not an issue.
	I just found it to be highly strange, the percentage of selling to buying that I've never seen before.
	That's what caught my attention.
	And you are correct.
	There's inflation.
	There's economic uncertainty.
	It's harder and harder to keep up with your bills when your dollar buys less and less, has less and less purchasing power.
	I totally understand that.
	And that's why we're here.
	I'm happy to help people out.
	So I wanted to add that.
	I mean, I'm not unhappy at buying that.
	I'm just, I think that people might miss out.
	And it's one of the reasons why we have Wolfpack starting, you know, at low, getting low entry level if you can just set something aside.
	To accumulate precious metals, you're still going to be ahead of the average person.
	Really, where we're headed with de-dollarization and the reset of the financial system, it's going to get really ugly for the average person, unfortunately.
	I agree.
	Yeah, Doug Elug says, I've got a wolf pack on the way to me as we speak.
	Angry Tiger, what we're just saying, he said, people are selling their silver to make ends meet, just like they're putting themselves in debt with credit cards.
	It's just, you know, a necessity because we were looking at how much things have gone up, eggs and all the rest of the stuff, and of course, you know, it's bird brain flu.
	It's not the USDA. These are things that are being done to us.
	But when we were talking about gold, what was the high that it got up to?
	Was it like 29.60 or something like that earlier this week or somewhere around that area?
	Right at that, David.
	You have different markets, different spot prices will give you different readings.
	But around that, it was...
	Reaching really close to $3,000 an ounce.
	And I don't think that's, you know, this has been talked about, you know, Citibank was calling for $3,000 an ounce gold back in 2021. So I think this is probably long overdue.
	And if there wasn't paper markets, if there wasn't this sleight of hand, if there wasn't like, you know, I mentioned we were talking about silver earlier.
	It's estimated that for Every 250 ounces of silver that's traded in the markets, only one exists in the real world.
	It's about 250 to one.
	And nobody really knows what the gold ratio is for paper.
	But I think that really you're going to see an exposure there.
	I don't think they've planned on it.
	The one thing that I don't think they counted on was anything like tariffs in the modern, you know, Western liberal economies that we've all, you know, that we have to worship the god of free trade.
	By the way, it's a god that failed.
	And, you know, they have to continue to bow down to it.
	Now, all of a sudden, all those bets are off because of their failures and the, you know, political upheaval.
	It's a variable.
	And it's thrown a wrench into the system.
	So I think this could have a cascading effect in the short term.
	Not to mention long term, but in the short term.
	I think you'll see a run up to $3,000 an ounce gold.
	Silver will probably break out here very soon.
	Again, not investment advice.
	But silver will break out, I think, very, very soon.
	Something is going to happen that will be a trigger event.
	Maybe delivery is not made with nation states, large banks.
	Something will happen.
	And again, somebody is buying.
	So I wonder if they're running, they've got to be running these simulations at some level saying, okay, well, if we accumulate here, we see the price fluctuations given, you know, two or three quarters down the road.
	Yeah, I remember back in the fall, you know, when it was looking like, you know...
	Lala was getting a billion dollars all at once, and the media is pouring on the charm offensive and everything for her.
	It took a lot.
	So they were saying, well, we're going to have gold up around $3,000 in the first quarter next year, right?
	This year.
	This quarter.
	And here we are in the middle of the quarter, and we, you know...
	Kind of kissed 3,000 at 2960. And then when Trump won, everybody, okay, good.
	It's going to be great economic times now.
	We don't have to worry about any of this stuff.
	Plus all the crypto thing.
	Crypto gets this massive boost because now he's going to flip the switch and they're going to go in exactly the opposite direction.
	Instead of attacking crypto, they're going to boost it.
	And so, you know, I put that commercial together before Christmas, you know, like the Trump euphoria is there, right?
	But as you and I were talking about, Ben, nothing had fundamentally changed.
	And we've had BlackRock, he says, well, what we're doing, it doesn't really make any difference whether it's Lala or whether it's Trump.
	It isn't going to make any difference to what we're doing.
	The fundamentals didn't change, but it's amazing the group psychology that was based on the election.
	But now we're, here we are, back to where...
	The fundamentals were going to take us all along, and that is, you know, coming up to $3,000.
	And so as we look at this, and what is, the story in the past years has been the fact that central banks were buying gold and accumulating that a lot.
	Now the story is rapidly becoming, where is the gold?
	And, you know, who's got the gold?
	Who stole the gold?
	This headline here from Kitco.
	Bricks banks are bleeding gold bars.
	China and Russia face runaway gold demand.
	And then London can't find it.
	You know, and others, I mean, this is the story, and this is, I think, a bigger story than, you know, the underlying fundamentals that are driving it.
	You know, inflation and things like that are driving people to gold, and then people can't find the gold, because there's this fiction that you've been talking about.
	Well, I'll add to that.
	South Korea suspended sales of bullion.
	They're not part of BRICS, but this is international.
	The fundamentals all existed even after the Trump election.
	There was a lot of selling off.
	I love the commercial that you put together.
	There's a sale on silver and gold.
	People started selling off to get into the markets and things like crypto, which is good.
	I mean, there's still a crypto revolution with a question mark hanging over it.
	I think that it could be great for everybody.
	The rest of the world still exists.
	I would add that.
	That's what's causing the spike in the price of gold fundamentally.
	You mentioned the BRICS banks.
	That's an article that's up on Kitco, and I read that this morning.
	You know, Russia and China.
	But when you read into that article, David, you know what it's mentioning is that the people, they're selling it to the people of those countries.
	That's why they're running down on inventory because Everyday people and institutions, and of course the Chinese just recently made it legal for the insurance companies to hold gold on their balance sheet at about 1%.
	These are massive moves, and when you take something like gold and physical gold and realize that it's not as plentiful as you would believe looking at all the stuff like GLD or SLV with the paper markets and the ETFs and all the exchange-traded stuff.
	When that is exposed, it's actually a precious metal.
	It's harder to find, and it's being accumulated more and more by big institutions.
	There's going to be a supply shock.
	It's much like Bitcoin that's going on with the ETFs, but even more so because the people, and gold's been a part of the human story since the beginning of time, and it always will be.
	So I think more and more you're going to see a re-evaluation of prices, and it has to do...
	With the demand for physical gold, that's going to be the new thing.
	It's a trust factor.
	And I think trust around the world is diminished.
	You talk about a fourth turning.
	What happens at the culmination of a fourth turning?
	It's the destruction of previous institutions and their power or what power sway they had.
	That trust is waning right now.
	We'll be replaced by something else.
	As a matter of fact, I called it a few months ago.
	I think I was on tinfoil hat and I said, look, I'm going to go ahead and say that the dollar has already lost the world's reserve currency status.
	Gold is the world's reserve currency.
	Again, it's just not yet.
	It's just on paper.
	You're still seeing that.
	The dollar is the number one held asset by central banks.
	Gold is the number two.
	It supplanted the euro last year or so.
	Well, I just read an article, and other analysts are saying the exact same thing.
	They're like, well, the gold has already supplanted the dollar.
	It's just a matter of time and trading and other things and balance sheet recognition of that.
	So we're already in an era of gold, absolutely.
	The all-time high of dollar against gold.
	The train has left the station.
	If you're waiting on the fence saying, well, I'll just wait until we get back down to $2,000 an ounce gold.
	What was the price of gold when I started talking to you, David?
	Let's see.
	We should look that up.
	It was probably November of 2019. It was the first time I think I ever came on your show.
	I believe the price of gold was about $1,300 an ounce, $1,400 an ounce, something like that.
	I'll look it up, but it wasn't 2,920.
	I want to go back to what you said about South Korea.
	You said they stopped the sale of gold.
	Exactly what did they do?
	Did they stop the private sales of it, or did they stop the central bank from getting rid of it?
	I mean, central bank's probably not trying to get rid of it.
	What did they do?
	It seems to be on the market, on the trading markets, it might be just with their exchange, stop the sale of bullion bars.
	Of physical gold bars.
	Is it like a temporary thing?
	Like, you know, they stop trading.
	If something starts really falling or rising really quickly, the stock market might...
	I think that's the reason why.
	Because if you see a run on something and then there's a supply shock and the price will far exceed all the things that are in paper.
	See, that's another thing.
	These prices are going to start putting so much pressure.
	On the paper gold.
	I think it's all going to come unraveled.
	Especially when things won't send delivery and they keep making excuses.
	There's going to be a flurry.
	And then that is going to cause...
	I think gold always comes in when there's fear.
	And mistrust and other things.
	It's a compounding snowball effect, and I don't think it's going to get better.
	No, no.
	And, you know, so, you know, China had stopped accumulating gold with the central bank for about six months, and now they're back in it.
	But as you pointed out, and I mentioned it a couple days ago, they're now pushing insurance companies to get it.
	And not only allowing them to get it, but pushing them to start to hold gold, because I guess they're, you know, you need some insurance for the insurance companies to be able to pay this stuff off.
	So it It truly is amazing.
	I got a couple of comments here.
	Dougalug said 2008 gold was $700.
	Yeah.
	Militon Milinkovic says, from my experience in working in the tech industry, silver is used in a lot of things, from optics to chip making.
	That's right.
	And that's part of it, though, that it is an industrial, heavily used, industrious metal.
	And if we have a recession where things start going down, that's the other component that comes into the silver market, right?
	Because it is so heavily used in manufacturing.
	If people aren't manufacturing stuff, that's going to cut down some of the use, right?
	Well, that and I would point people to a phenomenon called urban gold mining that will be going on.
	When we hit $3,000 an ounce gold, David, there will be so many people looking for Gold in their own backyards, into garage sales.
	Karen just had a tooth pulled that had gold.
	I buy teeth all the time.
	We will send that to you.
	It was not voluntary.
	It was a great deal of pain to have that thing taken out.
	People send me teeth all the time.
	They're like, what's that worth?
	Usually it's $14 to a carat or so.
	A lot of times there's enamel and other things in it for the weight, but it's usually I buy teeth all the time.
	The dentist have sold me teeth.
	It's an adventure in the gold and silver business.
	One of the first times somebody sold me teeth in San Antonio, I just opened my shop and they just dumped this bag and it still had teeth on it.
	Wow, that's crazy.
	So when you're down in the mouth, you can always sell that gold that's on your teeth, I guess.
	Well, yeah.
	Yeah, and it's universal.
	Electronics, medicine, you name it.
	Jewelry, it's just such a part of our story.
	I was asked the other day, like, what is money?
	And I said, well, money is something that holds intrinsic value outside of any economic system.
	It has to be scarce, it has to be measurable, and it has to hold value in the face of everything, even an economic collapse.
	And that's what, to me, that's what gold and silver are.
	They still are used in things way beyond monetary uses.
	So that's why the dollar or the fiat currency...
	aside from being truly evil, has no value.
	It's fake.
	It's a funhouse mirror version of what actual money is.
	And I think that that experiment, since 1971, is coming to an end.
	I mean, It's not tomorrow, but that's why they call it a great reset.
	Every time I talk about this, it's like the super elite, the Davos set, they know this.
	Bloomberg said it best.
	You mention this all the time.
	We have to give people something, do something so they don't come after us with guillotines.
	Well, yeah.
	They're doing something.
	They've got to figure out something to reset the system without getting guillotined.
	That's what I think they're looking at doing.
	It's either a return to gold or revaluation of currencies.
	And that's what BRICS has, I think, been doing this whole time is just accumulating things like gold for a currency reset.
	I agree.
	I agree.
	Yeah, Angry Tiger talking about hard times.
	Said a friend of mine is a business owner and has been hoarding silver for years.
	He's been selling it off lately to keep his business afloat.
	We're getting into some hard times.
	Wes Robertson said central banks have been buying gold around the world and will continue to manipulate the prices.
	And that's silver and gold.
	That's part of it.
	The ETF stuff is part of it.
	But again, you know, when that ETF scam...
	It blows.
	It's going to blow big.
	You've been talking about that for a long time.
	Guard Goldsmith says, I'm curious to see what Tony and David think about the silver use when the solar, et cetera, gets cut back.
	What do you think about that?
	Do you think we're going to have any solar cut back, or are they going to continue pouring money down that hole?
	Because it's a big, big user of silver.
	I think that just worldwide demand, and solar may have a huge fallback.
	We may see that, and that's probably more likely than not.
	But you still have the massive amount of demand for EVs and battery technology and other things that silver in no way, shape, or form is valued correctly.
	As I mention all the time, you've got 200 million ounces of deficit at minimum.
	Every single year, so they have to take from the above-ground supply.
	It's only increasing, even with, you know, if they're not going to do the Green New Deal or Green New Steel or whatever they're doing, it's still worldwide demand continues to rise for silver, which is really an industrial metal, way beyond being a monetary metal, but also things like breakthroughs in medicine.
	With silver, in our current climate, I think are continuing to rise.
	Demand for that is way, way up.
	The antibacterial, antimicrobial stuff that's usually resistant to those diseases like MRSA and other things that silver just takes care of.
	I mean, it's continued to be used and manufactured for that reason.
	So I think I just see demand.
	Yeah, if Pam Bondi can get Letitia James back in her cage, we can start having silver again.
	You know, she came after Alex and she came after Jim Baker, I think.
	And those are perfectly legitimate things.
	I mean, you know, they use silver for burn units and things like that.
	But boy, she's going to put you in jail.
	I mean, what a criminal she is.
	So it's good to see her getting some of her comeuppance, even if it's just going to be revenge, not real reform.
	But you talked earlier.
	So, you know, what is money, right?
	So, let me get your thoughts on pennies and what happened this week.
	I'm the only person that I've seen out there that is looking at this in a skeptical way.
	I mean, John Stossel and all these people, yeah, I hate pennies.
	They're a nuisance, and we ought to get rid of them, and I'm glad that Trump did it and all the rest of this stuff.
	And I'm looking at it thinking...
	I don't know.
	Is this the beginning of saying it's too expensive and we don't want to be bothered with making physical money or physical fiat?
	Because that's what it is.
	It's just a plug nickel and a plug penny and all the rest of that.
	What's your thinking on this?
	Well, it's sad.
	Let's start with that.
	That's the first thing I think of.
	When you depart from exactitude, that's another thing.
	That's the philosophy in the penny.
	The penny is I'm getting exact change.
	You know, the movie Office Space, he talks about stealing the pennies on the transactions.
	That's how he gets rich, right?
	It's like, you take the penny, like a fraction of a penny, and he uses the analogy of the trays and the penny tray at the 7-Eleven or something, you know, and I've always thought about that.
	So you're also departing the philosophy of exact change or exactitude, which is dangerous.
	It's like somebody's getting something for that.
	It's like when you go into a retailer now and they always turn the screen around and you have to look at the clerk and because they can't pay them enough, you have to tip them every time.
	Well, something like that with the loss of the penny, it's going somewhere.
	But I would remind people that since 1982, the penny's not made with copper.
	In 1982 and back, It's kind of like the silver is 1964 and back.
	The 1982 and back pennies are copper.
	Now, if you go and look and see what's that penny worth just in copper, you can see that every website will tell you, don't melt them.
	It's illegal to melt them.
	Don't melt your pennies.
	But there's copper in there.
	And they do that because it would start exposing what's wrong with the money.
	When you can melt something and it's more valuable than the face.
	The value of that coin, there's something wrong with your economy.
	It's like, you know, a silver quarter right now is like $7.
	You know, it's like, you know, it's something crazy.
	Or not, you know, you add that up and you face value out to like $28 face for four quarters or 10 dimes or two half dollars that are silver.
	So there's something wrong when you have an economy where you can't even make a penny.
	I saw something the other day.
	We're penniless.
	We're penniless is why we're not penniless.
	You could buy fake pennies and they were worth more than the actual pennies or something like that.
	That's always been a joke running around the internet.
	No, I think that's sad.
	But really what it is, it's the beginning of the cashless society that I think they would like to go to.
	It starts with the penny.
	And that's really sad.
	The penny's been a big part of our history.
	A lot of pennies are worth a lot of money.
	Collectibles, especially the 1943 copper penny.
	There was accidental copper pennies made in 1943. They were supposed to be steel because of World War II. Somebody accidentally put sheets of copper into the mint.
	If you find a penny that says 1943 on it, it's copper.
	You better go see a coin dealer.
	Yeah, pinch those pennies.
	Well, you know, that's the thing.
	What you just said about the face value versus the intrinsic value of it, that was the dog that didn't bark in all these different analyses.
	You know, I'm looking at John Stossel and he's like, look at how much it costs to make these things.
	And that's what everybody was taking that same angle, which was the angle that was put out by Trump and by Musk.
	Look at how frugal we are and how responsible we are because it takes two or three or four cents to make a penny.
	So we're going to just stop that.
	It's like, that doesn't make any sense at all.
	Over and over again, as you just gave us with the history of the penny, we've seen them debase it.
	You know, let's use even a cheaper metal or this or that.
	They'd always do something like that.
	And of course, they're debasing the currency with inflation.
	Just the figures here for what happened in just the last year.
	In 2024, you know, from 2023 to 2024. The price of a penny went up by 20%.
	The price of a nickel went up by 19.4%.
	The dime went up by 8.7%.
	And the quarter went up by 26%.
	And so only the dime is, I believe, it doesn't say it in this article, but I think I saw it in another one, that only the dime was ahead of the actual, they could make it for less than what the face value was.
	But of course, you're not going to just use these things once.
	That's the other part of it.
	But the real issue is the inflation.
	Why is the cost going up in just one year 20%?
	I mean, it's not like an egg, and we know what they're doing with the egg.
	They're killing their chickens.
	That's the untold story that nobody wanted to talk about.
	The inflation, the debasement.
	And then why would you not, since they've debased the currency so many times, why wouldn't you just go to some other plug metal and make it from that and keep it there?
	But to me, that's the real issue.
	And of course, the value, the fact that a lot of these people said, well, I think a penny is just a nuisance to have to keep these things around.
	Well, that's also an issue of inflation, but nobody really wanted to talk about the inflation.
	I thought that was really strange.
	Well, it's a tell.
	When something continues to rise in cost against the face value of the coin you want to make, that's the true exposure to the failure of the fiat system.
	It's the loss of purchasing power in your currency.
	It's like, well, it costs us more and more to make this.
	Well, does it?
	Is the actual base material that you're buying year over year, does it really cost that much more?
	Or is it your currency that's losing value?
	And that's what they don't want to talk about.
	Somebody always figures it out, like, wait a minute, this costs the same, you know, as far as if you look in the dollar index, it costs the same, but something's wrong with the dollar.
	It's just like we see the headlines on some of these precious metal sites, like, well, gold stalls on inflation data.
	And then you're thinking, okay, well, I'm going to read into this and see that, you know, that inflation data came out and it was, you know, in reverse or something.
	No, people were surprised that inflation was up after we just did quantitative easing and rate cuts.
	And you just increased the money supply.
	That's what that was, you know, before the election with Jerome Powell and lowering interest rates.
	It increased the money supply.
	That's what it does.
	That's liquidity.
	That's what the very definition of that is.
	I know it's surprising, David, but it caused inflation, apparently.
	Everybody's really surprised that there's inflation with an increase in the money supply.
	You and I can pretty much easily see this.
	We have the glasses from They Live.
	We just put the glasses on.
	I see what you're doing here.
	It's pretty easy to see.
	I don't have to be...
	I'm not an expert in any capacity.
	I'm just a paratrooper who likes books, but I look and I see there's something wrong against the purchasing price of the fiat currency.
	That's what the issue is.
	And it makes me suspicious when you see that Musk has got all the books now of the Treasury Department and all the rest of the stuff that he's getting into.
	But when Trump takes away I compared it to the bump stock.
	You know, the bump stock in and of itself was not important.
	What was important was a precedent of doing gun control by executive order, and that was seized upon.
	And this will be seized upon by other people and repeated.
	Well, it cost us 11 cents to make a nickel.
	So let's get rid of the nickels next.
	That's the path that they're going.
	And while all this is happening, the guy who bought him, Elon Musk, is trying to set up X money, and he's doing a deal with Visa, and he wants to make X the everything platform.
	He's got a digital wallet that he wants out there.
	So he's making big moves, and all the people around him, Lucky Lutnik and all the rest of them, making big moves into digital money, into crypto stuff, while Trump gets rid of the most, you know, and everybody cheers.
	Oh yeah, we don't want that penny.
	It reminds me of what I saw with the NRA about the bump stock.
	It's like, yeah, we're not going to fight about that.
	You know, the next thing you know, you've got a pistol brace ban.
	And then it's something else, right?
	And so it's that precedent that...
	To me, it matters.
	And, you know, Tony, I don't know.
	I like your thoughts on this.
	We talk about the petrodollar all the time, right?
	Where we had the U.S. dollar connected to energy.
	And, of course, the technocracy has said back in the 1930s, they were saying, we don't want to deal with currencies.
	We don't want to deal with banks.
	We don't want to deal with markets.
	We want to deal with energy.
	And we're going to price everything in energy.
	And in a sense, the petrodollar was kind of a nod in that direction.
	But when you look at CBDC, or if we go with some de facto digital money that is put out there by Musk or by some of these other technocrats, they're looking at tying it in to energy usage.
	That's one of the key reasons that they want to go to this surveillance currency.
	And they all support things like carbon taxes and carbon credits and everything.
	So that, I mean, is that going to be the kind of the digital petrodollar, combining it with carbon credits and carbon taxes and eventually tracking what people use?
	What do you think?
	I think that would be the logical conclusion of the technocracy.
	As a matter of fact, I talked about this yesterday on a show.
	If you look at the The manual that was found in an IBM copier in 1986 in an estate sale, Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars, whether it's a real technical manual for the elite on human enslavement or whether it's some sort of copy or something.
	It's interesting.
	That's a true story, by the way.
	Somebody found a copy of that and it wound up in Bill Cooper's book, Behold a Pale Horse.
	But if you read the opening chapter, it is a...
	An esoteric breakdown of money as energy itself to keep people on the hamster wheel so that they can never actually fight back.
	They're so busy paying bills and so busy exchanging your energy.
	And it's more of a way to look at people as cogs in a machine.
	But the energy, again, there will be energy shortages, all the rest of that tying currency to energy.
	I think it would be a perfect way.
	To continue to control you.
	And, of course, you could sell it as, well, we're going to back it by what powers us.
	Well, that's interesting.
	There's a lot of open questions above what they're going to do next on CBDC. I still have my eye on that ball, by the way.
	I never took it off.
	I don't believe any of this.
	That's right.
	Yeah, they're just going to rebrand it.
	And bring it back in a different way.
	It'll be kind of a public-private partnership rather than Biden coming at you right in your face, wearing his uniform and his flag.
	They're going to do it as a fifth column.
	Yes.
	You can't take your eye off that ball.
	That's been their goal all along.
	It starts with the penny.
	It starts with getting rid of physical...
	We always talk about fiat currency, but what's it cost to make a dollar, David?
	It's a special type of paper, by the way.
	What's it cost to make a dollar?
	And it's a much bigger spread for the paper currency.
	However...
	Paper currency doesn't last as long as these coins do, right?
	And nobody's talking about that.
	Nobody's telling all these people, oh, yeah, well, it costs this much and that much, and we print this many of them, and we spend this much every year.
	But nobody talks about how long does a coin last in circulation.
	I mean, we've still got coins that are taken out because they become more valuable as collector's items.
	But other than that, we've got coins in circulation that have been around for many decades, you know?
	Well, in the crypto world, they call it burning.
	So if you have a certain amount of coins that reach into circulation, you can, through your program, you can just burn those coins if they're not being used or if they're on like old wallets.
	That doesn't happen in Bitcoin, but it can happen in the cryptocurrency world.
	Well, I mean, that's a thought experiment.
	What if you have 80% of all the $100 bills ever made?
	Are not in the continental United States.
	They're outside and floating around in the world, circulating as the world's reserve currency.
	Do you want to burn that currency just metaphorically?
	If you don't want those dollars repatriated, do you just say, well, this doesn't exist anymore?
	You just start taking out physical fiat currency, which I'm not for a cashless society, by the way.
	I think cash is important.
	You have physical money.
	You know, physical currency, rather, is very important for freedom and privacy and other things that we need.
	You know, I want it backed by something at some level.
	I'd like it to be real, but, you know, I don't want it to be completely gone either.
	So, something to think about there.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah, I think the penny is a thin end of the wedge, quite frankly, going into a cashless society.
	And as I said, you know, I always said Trump made no sense, but now he's...
	He's literally made that true.
	But it makes perfectly good sense if you look at what their ultimate goal is, to get rid of physical money, I think.
	Jason Barker says, I've been saving all my old electronics to do gold recovery.
	Going to do some urban mining there, I guess.
	He said it might be economical to do it now.
	I never wanted to mess with the chemicals, but it might be worth it now.
	Yeah, be careful of those chemicals.
	Be very careful of that.
	Atomic Dog.
	Said my wife's gold tooth was worth about $200, paid for about a third of the new crown.
	Well, there you go.
	I guess there's always a silver lining or at least a gold lining.
	Some of these problems.
	So tell us what's going on with your gold to Bitcoin and vice versa now.
	How's that working out?
	Anything new with that?
	We actually have some new stuff going on with Wolfpack.
	You can get there at davidknight.gold.
	I added two new products in the last 10 days or so.
	Constitutional Wolf is now a tier that you can get.
	We have big reserves of 90% U.S. silver coinage.
	I've got a discount rate there.
	We've got...
	A $250 and a $500 package you get one time, but we pick those out for you, give you a detailed invoice, and it can save you considerable And, of course, the variety, too.
	And we don't go, by the way, I don't just sift through all of those coins.
	So you might get some collectibles in there.
	I'm not saying that you will.
	But I don't buy the bag full.
	I don't have the time or the resources to go through it.
	So you might just get a winner in there where I go, oh, that's worth way more.
	Great.
	Go turn it in and make something happy for you.
	So Constitutional Wolf is on there.
	And I just added, this is brand new.
	But there's a tier on there.
	You can't do a membership with it because the price fluctuates so much.
	But I'm selling one gram gold bars.
	People have asked me, I want just some gold.
	You can get one gram gold bars from me, free shipping, no credit card fees, no fees whatsoever.
	It's on there right now on davidknight.gold on the Wolfpack site.
	And you can buy as many as you want.
	But one, if you just want one, again, free shipping, no fees, and we're going to be able to save you a considerable amount just if you went and bought that somewhere else over the shipping and over the fees.
	Because what we do is we buy these Valcambi big sheets of hundreds, and I have my crew.
	They break each piece off, and then we put it into a coin flip.
	So you're actually saving on getting a...
	A grand bar of gold that you would have paid retail online.
	So we added that as well.
	That's just to make it to where people who want to get into gold and have some physical gold but, you know, can't afford some of the upper tiers that we have.
	So I added that and, of course, the Bitcoin.
	We're just rolling along.
	If you want to buy Bitcoin, go to davidknight.gold.
	We haven't added the Buy Bitcoin tab yet.
	I'm still waiting for my website to be published.
	We've got some stuff working.
	But I'm open.
	So if you want to buy or sell Bitcoin, you can go through me.
	And again, anything you want to do with precious metals through any of my stuff, whether it's Wolfpack or a direct sale, we charge no fee for using Bitcoin.
	We see it just as cash.
	Well, I've got to say, I've had some listeners who have donated to me through Wolfpack and through that.
	And it is interesting to see the different forms of gold.
	You know, you're talking about breaking off the things and getting little chiclets and stuff like that, as well as the gold paper notes that have gold interwoven in them that comes out of Utah or something.
	It really is interesting to see the many different ways that people can subdivide the gold.
	And I think we're going to see a lot more of that as we move on, because I think we're at a point now where, you know, Trump is there to create chaos.
	And this is happening at the tail end of the fourth turning, whereas we've been saying everybody's losing or has lost trust in the institutions.
	That's what Tulsi Gabbard is supposed to do.
	Tulsi Gabbard is there to restore our trust, intelligence agencies and national security.
	And it's like, it's going to take more than Tulsi to make me.
	Make me trust those people.
	I would never trust them with anything.
	But it's always great talking to you, Tony.
	Thank you so much, and thank you for your support.
	And always great.
	And you've got a program that's coming up immediately following this one today?
	Tell people a little bit about that radio transmission.
	My once-a-week transmission.
	I wasn't able to do it last week because I was traveling.
	So, yeah, go to Rockfin on the America Unplugged channel or my Twitter.
	Tony Arterburn will be live here at 11 a.m.
	Central Time.
	That's great.
	Or noon Eastern Time, as they say.
	It's noon Eastern.
	That's right.
	Well, thank you so much, Tony.
	Always great to talk to you.
	It's been very interesting, and we are living in interesting times, aren't we?
	A lot of crises are going to be coming one after the other.
	Folks, we'll be right back.
	Stay with us.
	That's right, boys and girls.
	There's a post-election sale on silver and gold.
	Trump euphoria has caused a dip in silver and gold.
	It's time to buy some medals with fiat dollars before they come to their sense is.
	Go to davidknight.gold to get in touch with the wise wolf himself, Tony Arterburn.
	He knows where to look to find silver and gold.
	Yark!
	Fiat!
	music music music
	music music music music music music music You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	We've got a couple of comments here.
	Ephesians 612, USDA cares so much about your health.
	They'd rather starve you to death.
	That's right.
	That is really what is happening.
	They care so much about your health that they would like to kill you in every way they can.
	Be My Valentine says get backyard chickens.
	You're about a day early.
	Be My Valentine.
	KWD68 says, Tulsi loves her some more.
	Yeah, and Soylen Goy says, is Tulsi's hair real?
	She looks like the villain from 101 Dalmatians.
	Cruella DeVille.
	I guess, you know, we pronounce devil as DeVille.
	And, of course, she wanted, what did she want?
	I think she wanted all those Dalmatians to make herself a coat or something.
	Well, you know, when you look at the connections with Tulsi Gabbard, And the fact that we are now supposed to trust her.
	And she's going to rebuild trust in the national security and national intelligence and the rest of this stuff.
	I have a real problem with what's going on with her connections to that radical political party that is the ruling party in India, the Hindu party.
	As a matter of fact, as an update, this just happened, this story came out a day or so ago.
	A woman allegedly burned alive.
	And tortured amid persecution and terror in India.
	These are the supporters of Tulsi Gabbard that she has taken hundreds of thousands of dollars from.
	And she's very closely tied to these two organizations that are doing this.
	One of them, the political wing, is the party of Modi, who is going to be meeting with Trump today.
	Watchdog is sounding the alarm about increasing anti-Christian persecution in India, the world's most populous nation, and of course they're already number 11. And it's getting worse there.
	This encounter with Modi and Trump could offer an opportunity for Trump and the West to pressure Modi to stop the persecution.
	They said this is a place where about two years ago the region exploded into anti-Christian violence.
	The conflict forced 40,000 Christians in one area to flee their homes over the course of a few weeks.
	The situation remains grim for the majority of Christians in that community.
	Most of them now live in refugee camps where the rates of death from cancer, kidney failure, and other treatable illnesses have really skyrocketed because they simply have no access to medicine or to basic supplies.
	We don't care, right?
	The Christians, we don't care.
	All of this happening while Trump has set up his so-called Faith office or something in the White House.
	And put this female prosperity preacher in.
	Paula White.
	What an affront.
	But it's supposed to be about stopping Christian persecution.
	Well, it's not that hard to find Christian persecution that you can stop.
	You don't need to have an office of faith to do it.
	And they're not going to address this, I don't think.
	There was a mother of three.
	A Christian woman.
	From this indigenous group who was attacked by Hindu militants, raped, and then burned alive.
	And that set off another round of violence between the groups.
	Scores of people were killed.
	More people were displaced.
	The government really seems kind of completely absent from this situation.
	They're probably supporting it behind the scenes, just like they do in Nigeria.
	Same type of thing.
	The majority of the nation, about 80%, is Hindu.
	The small Christian minority makes up only 2%.
	Often targeted...
	And, of course, the Hindus come after the Sikhs, which is a bigger percentage, far bigger than the Christians, with assassinations in North America.
	How is the director of national intelligence going to play into that?
	The last 10 years or so, things have really been getting systematically worse for Christians and other religious minorities in India, with the government being led by the BJP party.
	This is the group that gives Tulsi so much money.
	It has its roots in Hindu nationalism.
	Problems have persisted.
	The party that is in power has been able to use this kind of religious identity as a weapon.
	And that gets its opponents to stay in power.
	So it encourages its supporters to vote for it because they say they are the true Hindu party.
	They are the party that will protect India's Hindu identity.
	And so they keep pushing this tribalism.
	And this tribalism serves them well.
	These fights between this persecution.
	And that's what the political party, that's their path to power, is this kind of tribalism.
	That kind of rhetoric requires an enemy.
	And unfortunately, India's very small Christian population becomes that enemy in the eyes of many of the followers of this political party, the BJP, that has supported Tulsi Gabbard.
	All the way through her political career.
	Modi is meeting with Trump and other U.S. officials today, just as Tulsi's Wednesday and Thursday, just as Tulsi was being installed yesterday.
	It's a very important week for the U.S.-Indian relations.
	They said Trump has a relationship with his prime minister.
	Trump also promises to be a president who would care for persecuted Christians around the world.
	So, this one person says, what should he do?
	What could he do?
	He says he doesn't have to flip over the table.
	He doesn't have to make threats.
	He doesn't have to harm the relationship.
	But while he's in the room with the prime minister, I think the president should just say to him, look, we know this is happening.
	We know you're probably not happy about it.
	We encourage you to really do something about it.
	Does that sound like the way that Trump talks?
	To me.
	Would Tulsi do something like that?
	Seriously doubt it.
	Again, they rank as 11th in terms of the Countries that persecute Christians.
	Meanwhile, Trudeau has secretly polling Canadians to gauge whether they will accept a digital ID. Secretly polling?
	What does that mean?
	Well, it turns out that his immigration ministry has been secretly asking Canadians via surveys If they would accept a mandatory national ID program that would likely require each citizen to always have a type of digital passport on them.
	So you see they're doing this in Canada.
	Canada doesn't have a massive open border where people are coming across like we do with the southern border.
	This is something that, again, when we look at what is happening with the global agenda, I've said so many times, when you look at the pandemic, Trump and Trudeau were doing exactly the same thing.
	Now, they'll come after it sometimes for a different reason.
	For this particular thing, it's going to be scaring people about the open borders, about immigrants, and things like that.
	And that's the way the Republicans are selling a digital ID, secretly pushing it.
	Now, Trudeau is secretly polling people about it.
	But they know that Because they can look at social media, they can pretty much get the sense of the public in a far more accurate way than any of the polling that is out there.
	So, Canada's Immigration Ministry commissioned a company to poll Canadians on its, quote, passport client experience survey.
	Pollsters targeted clients, quote-unquote, who applied for a passport.
	And the main question the poll asked was, How comfortable would you be sharing a secure digital version of the passport within Canada as an identity document?
	See, this is where it's headed.
	You know, we used to be able to travel internationally without having a passport.
	And then that became ubiquitous.
	And they added visas in a lot of different places.
	But now they want to have internal passports to track everything that you do.
	The poll comes despite multiple parliamentary committees having rejected numerous times any sort of national ID system, noting how such a system would be extremely costly.
	One, say again, oh, we can't afford it.
	It's like the penny.
	Well, no, you can't afford to lose your freedom.
	The freedom is priceless.
	One of Canada's former privacy commissioners in a 2003 report that was titled, Why We Should Resist a National ID Card for Canada.
	said that any type of national ID card is, quote, the most significant privacy issue in Canadian society.
	A national identification card would require an elaborate and complex national identity system with database, communication networks, card readers, millions of ID cards, policies, procedures to address a myriad of security, privacy, and manageability, as well as human factor considerations.
	The costs associated with such a system would be enormous.
	Just creating it would cost between $3 billion and $5 billion and a substantial additional cost to operate it.
	And yet it'll be sold to us, ironically, as an efficiency.
	We have to reduce the cost of paperwork.
	Why aren't we starting to do this with the Musk dodge?
	I think we should call it a dodge instead of doge.
	Because it is a dodge.
	How much of this stuff is real?
	Have you seen any of that?
	First of all, it's like what is happening at the border.
	If you go back and look at the actual numbers, at the end of the Biden administration, they were deporting 12,000 people a week.
	In the first two weeks, they did just under 6,000.
	And that's in two weeks.
	And so they're actually doing a quarter of the deportations under Biden.
	Does that jive with what you've been seeing in the media?
	With all of the media events and all the, you know, he's got his chest puffed out, homing, yeah, you know, I'm going to arrest this person, I'm going to arrest that person.
	It's a PR campaign.
	This is about the phony border concerns, and that's what they're going to do with the digital ID. And, of course, I am suspicious about everything that Musk does.
	I think there's a real concern about conflict of interest here.
	What is he going to do with all this information that he's getting?
	Because information is power.
	And this is even accelerated with artificial intelligence.
	I said for the longest time, one of the reasons that he wanted to get X was because it gives him a tremendous PR platform.
	But it also gives him data about everybody.
	That's really what these things were designed for.
	That's why you had the CIA through In-Q-Tel and all these other different venture capital firms, why they poured so much money into the Internet and especially into social media, because it became about total information awareness.
	It became about life log.
	And so he's now taking this to another level.
	Getting into the internal stuff.
	And a lot of people have already said it looks like what he's trying to do is to reduce the number of bureaucrats and replace them with artificial intelligence.
	And who's going to be selling us the artificial intelligence?
	Why?
	Of course he would.
	If he has information on everybody, he is the most, not just the richest person in the world, but the most powerful person in the world if he's got information on everybody and everything.
	He has more information, has a greater understanding of what is going on by a long shot than Trump does.
	And there are major conflicts of interest in everything that he's doing here.
	But when it comes to cutting down the bureaucracy, has anything really happened?
	Again, as one of the listeners pointed out yesterday, I think this is going to go the way of the Twitter files.
	Remember that?
	I'm going to show you all the stuff that the government did, and all that turned into is like...
	Another big dog and pony show like the Congress always does.
	Congress is always holding these hearings and always telling about all the bad stuff and then never doing anything.
	And, of course, we got told about all the bad stuff that they were doing on social media with censorship, how they were telling the social media companies to censor this person, that person, based on, you know, your opposition to what they were doing with their agendas, but nothing changed with any of that.
	We're now being shown all these details, you know, tantalizing details, and I reported a lot of them.
	Massive amounts of waste.
	And it's this specificity that is very enticing, isn't it?
	And yet, in reality, you need to ask yourself, so what has been done about this?
	Even the spending freezes that Trump put on have now been shut down by one judge.
	He took it to an appeal judge, and the appellate judge said, no, I'm going to shut it down as well.
	So he's basically lost.
	With one judge lost on appeal on a lot of these things, that's why I said yesterday, if they're going to do anything about this in reality, what they need to do is they need to fight this judicial supremacy.
	I don't know if they're going to do it or not.
	It may all just be this big PR campaign.
	But whatever it is, Musk is getting on the inside and getting all this information, isn't he?
	So, Trudeau's cabinet...
	Says that the national digital ID system is going to be easier, more secure than traditional identification.
	They'll also sell it as an efficiency.
	It'll be cheaper and all the rest of the stuff.
	We've seen the video about Ukraine 2030 that they put in there.
	They said, oh, yes, in just a few years, you're going to be able to do all of your interaction with the government will be through this app.
	Won't that be wonderful?
	Digital ID and similar systems have been pushed by global groups like the World Economic Forum.
	You see, Klaus's boy.
	Klaus's boy right there.
	That's Trudeau.
	Perhaps these other people in the Trump administration.
	And then when you look in Canada, staying in Canada, the conservative opposition, Pierre Polyev, has said that he has introduced a new bill that would expressly prohibit digital IDs in Canada.
	And he says he's also opposed to a federal digital dollar.
	However, he is not opposed to the climate grift.
	He says, I don't know, we might not want to leave the Paris Climate Accord.
	And if you are going to buy into that MacGuffin, then you're going to get your people to buy into some kind of a de facto energy measurement thing.
	And that's going to eventually lead to a de facto CBDC. And so, again, they got their clutches either through...
	The vaccine stuff, or through the climate stuff, they got their grip on these different people.
	When you talk about immigration, if you think that Trump is really serious about this stuff, or if you think that Elon Musk is serious about it, I mean, look at the big tell.
	Elon Musk didn't even realize how it was going to be received, the fact that he was all about H-1B visas.
	Except that Ramos, Slimy, and Musk had had that...
	Spaces that they had done when Vivek the Snake was running for president.
	And they were all about how Americans are garbage and they need to be replaced with the smart people like Musk and Vivek.
	And so when you look at what is happening, taxpayers subsidize college tuition for illegal aliens, but not for U.S. citizens.
	Well, this is something that has been around since Clinton.
	And I've talked about this for the longest time.
	The fact that they not only get the same benefits, but they get superior benefits to American citizens.
	And this is put there so that we demand that everybody has to have a national ID so we can keep this kind of stuff from happening.
	And yet this law has been there since the early 1990s.
	You know, it's the same type of thing where they say, well, we've got a lot of fake pictures out there from artificial intelligence, and so we're going to have to crack down on you.
	You're going to have to prove that you're human.
	It's like, well, why don't you require that the AI stuff be labeled as AI rather than treating me that way?
	And that's what they do with people coming across the border, this mandatory e-verified that Republicans are all about.
	You prove that you're an American citizen.
	Not that, you know, these people should have to have any proof attached to them.
	The AI and the illegal aliens be the excuse for putting identification on all of us.
	It was in 1996 that Congress passed and Bill Clinton signed this act that would prohibit states from providing in-state college tuition rates to, quote, an alien who is not lawfully present in the United States.
	However, it had no enforcement mechanism.
	There was no private enforcement, so it was left up to the federal government, and the federal government passed this act and then didn't enforce it.
	It's kind of like what they did with Nancy Pelosi when it was revealed that she was doing insider trading and that they had given themselves permission to do insider trading.
	So they put the Stock Act together.
	A lot of people called it the Pelosi Act.
	And that lasted for about six months.
	And then when the media moved on to a different story, they basically eviscerated it.
	And so they put this out there and say, yeah, we're not going to give a special in-state college tuition to illegal aliens.
	But then they gave themselves, made it so they were the ones who would enforce that, and they never bothered to enforce it.
	So it was all just virtue signaling.
	As I point out in the story from Epoch Times, Texas and California, even though they may be considered to be extreme, extreme ends of the spectrum on immigration, they said there are two of 25 states that blatantly violate federal law by providing in-state tuition to illegal aliens.
	The only states that actively block not only in-state tuition but also enrollment of the illegal aliens are Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina.
	Only three.
	Seven other states block access to state financial and or in-state tuition.
	Those seven states are Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin, Tennessee, North Carolina, and New Hampshire.
	But the rest of them say, yeah, fine, come on, we'll give you in-state tuition.
	And it's a big deal.
	They said in 2025, School year.
	The average at public colleges is out-of-state tuition.
	Average was $25,000 tuition.
	But if you were in-state, $11,000.
	It's less than half.
	And so that's being given to illegal aliens.
	And of course, an illegal alien can go to any state that they wish, whereas you are limited to the state that you live in.
	So it's vastly superior.
	And this has been around since 1994. No administration has enforced this, including Trump's administration, the last one.
	And then if Trump were to enforce this, if they leave this the way that it is, the next administration that's not Trump could ignore it again.
	Except that Trump is not even ignoring this.
	Understand that he was there allowing Illegal aliens to get in-state tuition in any state that they wish to go to.
	That happened throughout his entire administration.
	And then when he was candidate Trump the second time, this time, remember when he said, I think that anybody that gets a college degree in anything, could even be a junior college degree, just two years, I think they should get a green card.
	So he takes it one step further.
	He not only gives them superior benefits, but he makes it a path to citizenship.
	And yet people don't see what's going on.
	DG8, thank you for the tip.
	He said, David, you're right.
	They're saying that dimes and nickels should go too.
	If something is 99 cents, $1.06 with tax, it'll be $1.25 cash.
	And they'll say, pay digital, and it's only $1.06.
	That's part of the plan.
	I agree.
	That is the incentivizing of it.
	As Tony was saying, it gets rid of the preciseness of it, but what it does is it makes the non-cash transaction cheaper because they artificially inflate the cash portion of it.
	That's a very important thing.
	I think it is amazing what's going on.
	And again, nobody is looking at it.
	Oh yeah, we don't want to pay $100,000 or $100 million or whatever it is that they pay on it.
	We can save money there.
	And that's all they say.
	Isn't that great?
	I've hated pennies all my life, and now Trump is going to take the vein of my life away from me.
	Cecilia14, digital ideas are going to be forced on us.
	I think, or rather, think about all the info at President Elon's fingertips, and now Tulsi.
	No vax, no access to your account.
	Yeah, they're going to be able to put the screws to us.
	Absolutely.
	And a lot of this is going to be artificial intelligence.
	And putting this stuff in.
	And finding out, look, knowledge is power, especially when you're somebody that has the kind of money that Elon Musk does.
	Because you're going to use that knowledge to invest in things.
	This is the ultimate insider trading.
	It is huge.
	Really huge.
	Wes Robertson, COVID was all about digital IDs, not a fake virus.
	Hi, Boost.
	David, it's been my opinion.
	Digital ID is the Trump administration's number one goal.
	Number one.
	I agree.
	And all the Republicans are in bed with this as well.
	You know, again, from the mandatory E-Verify to saying we've got to have ID to use the Internet because we've got to protect kids from porn.
	Well, it's pretty easy.
	You let the parents take away the computers or the...
	Or the phones.
	They shouldn't be using that kind of stuff anyway.
	It really messes with the wiring of your brain, literally.
	And so, we've got some older comments here.
	Audi, Modern Retro Radio says, and Tulsi thinks that she's going to restore our trust in the intelligence community.
	Good luck with that, honey.
	KWD68, restoring trust?
	I never had it.
	That's right.
	It's kind of like you're going to restore trust in the same way that Trump is going to get us out of the Paris Climate Accord that we were never in.
	It truly is amazing to see what they're pulling on us.
	I just want to mention some of the listeners who sent emails about various articles real quickly.
	This was sent by For Love of the Road.
	road he said just saw this shared by the john burch society on instagram hope it is as good as the title sounds and i hope it passes the tennessee house bill and senate bill would restore state sovereignty through nullification we've got some good people i've had in the last couple years Bud Halsey, of course, they got Senator Nicely out, but they would focus on things like, you know, having gold reserve for the state and state nullification and some things like that.
	We've paid attention and they are now pushing them out in a big way.
	We have also, along the lines of what we were talking about, I've had some people who've sent me their concerns about Elon Musk.
	I share those concerns.
	And somebody sent me an op-ed piece from Dr. Naomi Wolf, who is very outspoken about this.
	She's very concerned.
	about Musk having access to all this information.
	She calls it Elon Musk's digital coup.
	She said, for a week I've been savaged on X, which of course Musk owns, for urgently trying to warn people about what those few days over the weekend before last when Musk and five or six young engineers were alone with their devices plugged into all the nation's data.
	He's now got 100 people working for him.
	If I'm right about, even some of my concerns, these few days represent a Rubicon that can never now be uncrossed, during which data and intellectual property captivation will have made Musk and the people with whom he now allies more powerful than any president, including Trump.
	And it will have made Musk more powerful than any nation-state.
	More powerful than the World Economic Forum and the WHO. More powerful than any prime minister.
	More powerful than any CEO or leader of any other corporations.
	And thanks for my warnings and links with all the evidence.
	Naomi Wolf said, I've been called on X. I've been called a DNC shill.
	I had people, I put up my concerns about a couple of these things.
	And so I said, well, you know, I think he took money.
	I think he's sold out.
	I think he's become like Matt Drudge.
	You think I took money?
	Because I opposed Trump on the lockdowns on January the 6th.
	You think I took money?
	Is that right?
	So she said, I've been called a DNC shill, controlled opposition, CIA, a libtard, unpatriotic, various other epithets.
	Of course, I'm not any of these.
	And she said, and thankfully, I'm no longer a libtard.
	But she said, most genuine voices which have been supportive of my efforts to warn the country, I can't see on X. Because we get shadow banned.
	And so she said she's put this article up on Substack.
	She said, it's like being a would-be Paul Revere without a horse and without a voice.
	So I'm going to Substack, she said.
	And so she's talking about how very concerned she is with all of this and her experience with something that she set up called the Daily Clout.
	And she said, working with developers, she says she's not a programmer, she works with developers to develop these three platforms.
	And she said they're all based, just like Musk's Dodge, I'll call it Dodge, on government data sets.
	She's got one that's called BillCam, lets you see and share state and federal bills.
	Another one called Communities, a surveillance and censorship-free Facebook competitor.
	And another one called Legisector, where you can access bills within your industry.
	And so, you know, I think that's all very useful stuff.
	She says she's not a coder, but from 13 years of working with this stuff, she understands the fundamentals of using these government digital data sets, the protections around them, how valuable this information that he's getting is.
	And she says, I can't believe that Team Trump understands these dangers fully yet, or even that the Republicans in Congress do.
	If they did, they would not make themselves, their base and their donors, so vulnerable.
	I think they would.
	That's why I disagree with her.
	I don't think they care about that kind of stuff at all.
	Scott Bessent, she said, Secretary of the Treasury assured Americans that their data was safe, explained that Musk and his engineers' access to $6 trillion in Treasury data of government spending was read-only.
	That interview reassured a lot of people, but she said, think about that.
	If it's read-only...
	You may not be able to change anything there, but you can read everything that is there.
	You can copy it.
	You can store it.
	You can put it on the cloud.
	She points out that one of the people that's working with Musk is a CEO of Cloud Software Group.
	And so they can act on that information.
	It gives them an insight to what is actually happening there.
	And then this was also sent to me by Seth, who, and a lot of other people pointed this out.
	I think I've mentioned it once, that Doge is not a new committee.
	It's a renaming of the U.S. Digital Services, and its purpose is not to uncover government waste, but to improve the quality and the efficiency of government-wide software.
	And again, I think this plays into the concerns and suspicions that many of us have, that he's looking to get the inside track on government software.
	When you look at Sam Altman and all these people, when he got hit by Deep Seek, and again, people are saying, well, we don't know if that was real.
	We don't know if that was an operation by the Chinese government to try to create havoc and chaos and everything.
	Well, you might ask the same questions about what Donald Trump is doing, what Elon Musk is doing.
	But when everybody got concerned about, you know, are we overpaying for AI? If these people can do this stuff so cheaply, and it sent shockwaves through NVIDIA, through the rest of the stock market.
	The response of Sam Altman at OpenAI is to go running to government for a government contract.
	And how did Musk become the richest man in the world?
	See, that's the other thing about it, which I haven't seen anybody else talk about this.
	He became the richest man in the world.
	By selling to governments, not just the American government, but to the Chinese government what they want.
	And so, by being able to read their mail, which is one of the kind of the colloquialism for, I know what you're thinking, right?
	I read your mail.
	Well, he's reading the mail of the governments who are his, this government, which is his big customer.
	And he knows the inside workings of how it operates.
	It's going to make him incredibly more efficient in terms of selling money to the U.S. government and making money off the U.S. government.
	The first time I talked to Eric Peters, we were talking about Elon Musk being the king of crony capitalism.
	And it wasn't just us.
	The L.A. Times was talking about it at that time.
	And at that time, he was the darling of the leftists.
	He was the darling of the environmentalists because he was green-grifting everything.
	He's a greenwashed billionaire.
	And everything that he's done, you know, he's a military industrial contractor, you know, the rockets, the satellites, the cars, the self-driving cars especially, everything that he's doing serves that agenda and serves government.
	And government is his customer.
	And now he's got all that information.
	That's why it's such a massive conflict of interest.
	You know, recreating this U.S. digital services to improve the quality and the efficiency of government-wide software.
	And so, again, we come back to getting rid of these employees, replacing them with artificial intelligence.
	I think that's a key part of what this is all truly about.
	Mav, 2022. He says, he who gobbles the most data and trains their AI with it the best wins.
	And that is the Psycho's model.
	Motto, yeah.
	And the other motto coming out of Silicon Valley is that you want to move fast and you want to break things.
	Seems like that's exactly what the Trump administration is doing.
	They're moving fast and they're breaking things.
	And they're going to make a great deal of money out of all of that.
	Well, as I said before, what we're talking about, Musk, and I don't have time to go into this too much, but we...
	When you look at the liberals who say that climate change is causing more fires in California and all the rest of the stuff.
	Now, what happened in California?
	Forest fires are a regular thing there, just like hurricanes are a regular thing in Florida.
	And yet, the incompetence that was there was stunning in its depth and something we had not seen before.
	But if you go back and you look, Historically, how many forest fires we've had, we find that we are in a period of very few forest fires.
	They said the average annual area burned since the late 19th and early to mid-20th centuries is generally less than experienced under historical fire regimes across many North American forests, resulting in a widespread 20th century fire deficit relative to earlier time periods.
	This is not the first time I've heard this.
	You know, they talk about, many times, I've seen articles in past decades about how we have a lot more forest land than we did in early America.
	And the reason for it was because of forestry management.
	And I knew that from my uncle, who was a forestry professor, who would always talk about the fact that they were getting rid of, in the mid-20th century, in the 70s, about the time he was retiring, he said they're getting rid of all the forestry management.
	And they're going to this radical environmentalism, and they're leaving the dead trees in the forest, and the forests are going to burn down.
	But even with that, we still have a fire deficit.
	I find that to be very interesting.
	But even more importantly, we have articles that Elon Musk has just kicked off a big venture in China, because again, that's where he makes his money, selling stuff and doing work with the government.
	So he's got a new venture there to build these massive battery energy systems.
	They're going to make battery energy storage sites.
	I've talked about that with the TVA, wanting to set these things up around the area where we live.
	They're incredibly expensive because first they sell you the so-called renewable energy of solar and wind, but then they have to have a battery to put that stuff into.
	And so then they buy these incredibly expensive battery energy storage sites, which has now just done a deal in China to roll these things off in massive quantity.
	So there's going to be a big push from TVA, from a lot of other agencies to buy this stuff.
	And they are an unbelievable fire hazard.
	They're unbelievably expensive.
	It is in Shanghai that he's now opened up a Megapack factory.
	And the factory has an annual capacity of 10,000 of these units, each of them with 3.9 megawatt hours of energy.
	And so he's going to be flooding the market with these battery energy storage sites.
	And that is going to talk about inflation.
	Get ready for your power bills to explode.
	And just hope that these lithium batteries don't explode because they'll burn down your entire community.
	Well, that's all we have time for today.
	Thank you so much for joining us.
	Have a good day.
	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.
