	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	As the clock strikes 13, it's Friday, the 21st of February.
	Year of Our Lord 2025. Well, today we're going to take a look at the policies that are coming fast and furious at us.
	So far, in just a few days, Trump has ended the war.
	He's going to end welfare of illegals coming here.
	He's going to end the income tax.
	We're going to have wonderful tariffs where all the taxes are going to be paid by other people.
	Even no congestion pricing in New York City.
	Is that real?
	Has any of that happened?
	How is it going to happen?
	What is it going to look like?
	And one clue, I think, is, of course, we've talked about this, and we'll talk about what is happening with eggs at the border.
	Take a look at the difference between eggs in America and eggs in Mexico and why they're being confiscated.
	But just take a look at the fact that as the rumors are going out that the Trump shot is going to be stopped, there's mRNA for everything.
	Everything being pushed in these shots.
	So we're going to begin with the fact that, as Oliver Anthony pointed out, we may be the last generation that knows life without AI. Because it's the technocracy that is coming at us.
	Fast and Furious.
	We'll be right back.
	I'm going to begin with Oliver Anthony, the guy who rocketed to fame with his rich the guy who rocketed to fame with his rich man north of Richmond, saying,
	Are the last humans in world history who remember what life was like before AI? I think that's very profound.
	I think that's the most profound thing I saw today, as a matter of fact.
	Of course, Oliver Anthony, who got a lot of fame with that song, and also said, I don't want to have anything to do with the record industry.
	I'm not going to go on tour.
	I'm not going to let these people control my life.
	One of the most based people I've seen out there.
	He also said, I'm not a partisan cheerleader.
	I don't support any of these political parties.
	And so when Zero Hedge reports his speech, as a matter of fact, he gave a speech in London.
	Evidently, it was something that was organized by Jordan Peterson Alliance for Responsible Citizenship event in London.
	Nigel Farage spoke there as well, of course.
	But odd that Oliver Anthony would be flown there.
	But he had something to say.
	And the interesting thing is that Zero Hedge tries to put words in his mouth to make him a cheerleader for Trump.
	Listen to the way they report this.
	They said the song became number one on iTunes for weeks, resonating as an anthem for over 80 million Americans who have been smeared, ignored, mocked, slandered, robbed by the deep state that President Trump and Elon Musk's doge are firing en masse.
	Come on, give me a break.
	I don't think that Oliver Anthony sees this as a victory.
	I think he's too wise for that, quite frankly.
	Now, Anthony has elevated his message warning about the dangers of the technological society.
	He said, and I'll read his speech here.
	It's about an eight-minute speech.
	I'm not going to read the whole thing.
	I'm going to read a section of it here.
	He said, in my unprofessional opinion, Neuroplasticity has made us increasingly digitally proficient, but at a cost of being digitally dependent.
	What does he mean by neuroplasticity?
	The fact that your brain can change.
	And he gives the example that people have talked about for the longest time.
	Physically, you can see the physical change as it is atrophying.
	He uses the example of a London cab driver.
	You know, we know this has been physically observed, that London cab drivers who, historically, London is an incredibly complex network of streets that are constantly changing names.
	Little alley here, little alley there, because it's grown up over the centuries like that, and now these things have been connected in some ways, but it's got all these little names.
	It's really difficult to navigate.
	And so a cab driver has to do what they call the knowledge.
	They would get on a bicycle, and they would ride around London trying to memorize these different routes, and then they would have to pass a test, and they would go with the tester who would give them an address, and he would evaluate them on how efficiently they got to that spot.
	You know, first of all, they had to know it, but they had to also be efficient with it.
	And they found that these cab drivers...
	Had a particular part of their brain that got extremely large compared to the general population because they could do that.
	And I've talked about this before in the past, how, you know, as all of us have stopped using maps and become dependent on directions from our phones, I sense that atrophy in my own life.
	And they're saying this with...
	You know, across the spectrum.
	I remember when I was in Europe as a kid, I went with a group, and the tour bus driver always did not know which way to go to get back to the bus.
	And she was disoriented.
	They would all say, no, it's in that direction.
	Everybody would basically say it.
	She said, Americans always know the direction, and it's because we would drive cars, right?
	She was always on public transportation.
	She only had to know where the endpoint was going to be, and then she just checked out.
	She's on autopilot, essentially.
	And so to continue on with what he says, he says, if being hired on as a London cab driver can change your brain on an MRI scan, And if life experiences like PSD can alter your DNA and sperm, what irreversible alterations will 30,000 hours of staring into algorithmically fed into a state of hypnosis do to the human mind or to their offspring?
	That's absolutely true.
	Being so dependent on technology.
	He said we live in a state of existence that quite possibly no one else in the world has had.
	We are the last few humans in world history who will remember what life was like before this.
	We are the last living people in history to have experienced life before the digital age.
	I fear that it may become nearly impossible for younger generations to even differentiate the digital world from the real one before the end of my lifetime.
	There is nothing inherently wrong with the technology.
	Wrong with instant connection, and there's nothing intrinsically bad about access to abundant information.
	But what is bad is the lack of control and agency that we have over these systems.
	And without realizing it, we are being programmed.
	And our culture is being commodified.
	Therefore, the more time we spend on these digital information systems, the more we revert to the mean of one of a fixed set of broad internet Cohorts.
	In other words, the more time we spend online, the more commoditized our culture, the more tribal our psychology, and the more vulnerable we become.
	By the way, as I said, he was very clear that he didn't support Trump or Biden.
	He wasn't Republican or Democrat, even though Zero Hedge likes to imply that.
	They're all just those rich men north of Richmond.
	Anyway, he said, I'm just here to remind you that we don't need our false idols.
	We should no longer rely on politicians who bow down to money to manage our city or our states.
	So what is his alternative?
	Well, as I said before, I think he's really grounded.
	And he understands that the issue is to decentralize and to de-digitize.
	We need to do real things in rural areas.
	Independent.
	When you start rebuilding self-sufficiency.
	Yes, you can have a contact with us, but it doesn't need to be your entire life.
	That's the harmful thing.
	He said we need to find real leaders everywhere and empower them.
	He said Western North Carolina was proof to me that there is an army of good people left in this world who want to do good things.
	And that's absolutely true.
	There is...
	Still, not sufficient help coming from Washington.
	Still.
	None at all from Biden.
	None.
	And so for four months, everybody was on their own.
	Unfortunately, some of the worst aspects were the, you know, FEMA would come in and would sit in their climate-controlled trailers and do nothing and collect big, fat checks, unfortunately.
	Some of the most oppressive people were the local officials.
	Who came in and kicked people out of the homes that the Amish had built for them.
	Sorry, you didn't have my approval first.
	Sorry, we're going to tear down your house because it doesn't yet have electricity or water.
	You're not going to have this temporary housing that the Amish built for you.
	We'll tear it down.
	As I've said before, it is at the local level where things are the most important.
	They can make it much worse.
	Or they can make it much better.
	They can stand in the gap and they can block a tyrannical state government or federal government.
	They can interpose as the lesser magistrate.
	Or these people can get on a power trip, as we saw some of them do, in western North Carolina.
	So he said, Western North Carolina was proof to me there's an army of good people left in this world who want to do good things.
	We just have to give them places together and to give them the ability to act.
	And so I close with this.
	Do not fret.
	Because of those who are evil, or be envious of those who do wrong, they will vanish like the grass.
	Soon they'll be like green plants that die away.
	Trust in the Lord and do good.
	Dwell in the land, enjoy safe pasture.
	Delight in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.
	Psalm 37. He says, I'll see you on April the 5th in Spruce Pine, North Carolina for the first official gathering.
	He said, it's now my life's mission to revive rural America one town at a time.
	It's called the Rural Revival Project.
	Well, that's good.
	I think we should check that out.
	That is a great idea.
	I 100% endorse that.
	And as we look at what is happening in the rest of our society, and how this is so imperative, because it's not Just the AI. They're going to use AI as their leverage, as their weapon.
	But we need to see how evil the people are who are ruling us in Europe.
	And even here, as I pointed out, in America.
	People are shocked to see 60 Minutes report about what is happening in Germany.
	These people are so proud of their dictatorship there over free speech.
	And the 60 Minutes reporter.
	Was very excited about it.
	Did not challenge them.
	As a matter of fact, supported that with the people that she brought in.
	I don't know that she had anybody that was pushing back against it.
	She had a lot of people who were advocating for all that.
	And she seemed to be not just intrigued, but delighted by the censorship that was happening in Germany.
	And that's our American media.
	And as I pointed out, we've got a lot of people, including people like J.D. Vance, who pushed back against that, who want to impose censorship for their own purposes.
	You know, they've got their sacred cows that they want to protect.
	In the case of J.D. Vance and most of the GOP, it's the state of Israel, the politicians in Israel that they want to protect because they've been bought by these politicians in a foreign country.
	So whether you're talking about Europe is more widespread, but this is the type of thing that we've been seeing under the Democrats, cheered by the mainstream media.
	And openly done by Republicans for certain segments.
	You know, the Republicans will come out and say, no, you're not going to punish people if they don't use the right pronouns.
	But you will punish people if they criticize the foreign government of Israel.
	And so, across the board, these tyrants are going to have massive leverage with this new technology.
	And that's what really should concern us.
	And that's one of the reasons why it's important for us to start rebuilding our parallel society.
	And to get away from their cities.
	I absolutely agree with Oliver Anthony.
	Here's an example.
	In Scotland, you had J.D. Vance criticizing them for arresting people who were silently praying.
	And I showed the clip yesterday.
	Look, here's a Muslim who has got a loudspeaker on London Bridge and doing his, you know, the chant prayer or whatever.
	I don't know what it's about.
	Frankly, don't care.
	But also showing massive number of Muslims praying in public, on their knees with rugs and everything, you know, turned in a particular direction.
	And yet, if you stand on the sidewalk in front of an abortion clinic and you silently pray, you get arrested over and over again.
	And so he criticized that, and they pushed back.
	And they said, well, we're not doing that.
	Well, yeah, they are.
	People who are going to persecute...
	People who persecute you for freedom of speech are going to lie to you.
	People who persecute you for the free exercise of religion are going to lie to you.
	That's the kind of people they are.
	And so after he was saying that, he got a 74-year-old pro-lifer arrested in Scotland for violating the abortion quote-unquote buffer zone.
	And she was doing this silently.
	And she was standing there.
	She's holding a sign.
	It says, coercion is a crime.
	I'm here to talk only if you want to.
	No, no, no, no.
	Can't do that.
	Can't do that.
	How about we're the last generation to know what free speech and what the free exercise of religion is?
	What if we're the last generation to value what Western civilization valued and fought for and won over thousands of years?
	What if we're the last generation before this new coming darkness?
	Well, when you look at the, well, let's talk about this particular case first.
	The arrest came just days after Vance condemned the British government and their 2022 arrest of pro-lifer Adam Smith-Connor for silently praying outside an abortion facility under a similar buffer law.
	The Scottish government He said, blame them for, quote, distributing letters to citizens whose houses lay within the so-called safe access zones.
	You know, we had this crazy case that was done by the Obama administration, I think.
	Maybe it was the Clinton administration.
	It was some Democrat.
	And it might have been the Clintons, because I think it was when I was still working with the Libertarian Party.
	And, you know, we got this 1,000-foot buffer.
	You can't have a gun within 1,000 feet of school.
	And that's going to keep everybody safe.
	And the problem is, if you've got a gun in your car, you know, you're kind of violating that.
	So it was kind of a trip law.
	And so what they're doing here with this is they're saying, if your home is within this zone of a certain distance, you can't pray in your home either.
	You can't pray in your home silently if your home is within that distance.
	Now, the Scottish officials, Pushback said, no, we didn't send out any letters like that.
	They said that people couldn't pray in their homes.
	The BBC reported what the government said.
	However, LifeSite News has this story.
	LifeSite has a screenshot of one such letter that states, quote, activities in a private place such as a house within the areas between the protected premises and the boundary of a zone.
	Could be an offense if they can be seen or heard within the zone, and if they are done intentionally or recklessly.
	As I said before, a government that will persecute free speech, a government that will persecute the free exercise of religion, is a government that will lie to you as well.
	And so I asked the ex-chatbot Grok, I said, so what's the deal with these Muslims praying on the London Bridge and the double standard that's there, right?
	And it comes back to give me three reasons why you have that double standard, as I showed yesterday.
	They said, number one, we have the context of public order.
	Street prayers by Muslims, like on the London Bridge, aren't typically framed as protests or targeting a specific group.
	They are religious acts.
	So, when the Muslims are doing things in public, those are religious acts, and that's protected.
	But if a Christian, because of their belief in the sanctity of life, and because they need to protect that life, and they need to talk to people before they do something that they're going to regret, something that may harm them physically even, because of their concern for others, which is part of their religion.
	Part of the exercise of the religion.
	They're not allowed to even silently pray because that is going to be framed as a protest targeting a specific group.
	Well, isn't that protected?
	Not anymore.
	Not in the UK. And, of course, it's not protected in the United States either.
	You know, if you assemble peacefully to redress your grievances, well, then they do the J6 thing on you, right?
	Most of the people that were bullied, imprisoned, tortured, whatever, most of them were peaceful.
	So yeah, peaceful protest under the First Amendment is not enforced in the U.S. either.
	Secondly, they said police discretion.
	Cops have wide latitude under U.K. law.
	Okay, let's think about that.
	If they've got wide latitude under the law, that's like saying that there is no law.
	They can do whatever they want.
	I am the law.
	Remember that from Judge Dredd?
	Yeah, I am the law.
	The law is in my mouth.
	It's whatever I decide to enforce and what I don't, and what I decide not to enforce, whatever.
	And it said, Grok said, well, Sadiq Khan, London's Muslim mayor, doesn't dictate police action, but his visibility amplifies the narrative of a double standard.
	Let's just say this.
	Well, he dictates it.
	They have ways to make it happen.
	Personnel is policy.
	Having a Muslim mayor is policy.
	And the people that he picks are policy.
	And since they have wide latitude and can do basically as they wish, what do you think is going to happen with that?
	If you come down on the Muslims, you think that Muslim mayor is going to, if you use your latitude to come down on Muslims, you think that mayor is going to say, and I'm not saying that they should be shut down.
	I'm saying, though, that this is a double standard.
	Contrast this with Christians, says Grok.
	Their actions often challenge hot-button issues, such as abortion or sexuality, making police more likely to intervene when complaints roll in.
	Yeah, we're trying to establish, reestablish, I should say, the standards of Western civilization that these same politicians and police have thrown under the bus.
	Thirdly and finally, cultural sensitivity, says Grok, since the 2000s, UK policing has leaned hard into, quote, community relations, unquote, after events like the 7-7 bombings, which I believe is a false lie, You know, they were practicing exactly that at the time it happened.
	And just like you saw largely with 9-11, people were very confused.
	Wait a minute, is this real or is this the drill that we're having?
	We're having a drill just like this.
	No, that's not real.
	That's the drill to shut down the stuff.
	Anyway, that's a real tell when they do a false flag, to have a drill that is identical to the event that's happening.
	But anyway, after events like the 7-7 bombings, there's been a push.
	Not to alienate Muslim populations.
	So now, if the narrative were real, if it wasn't a false flag, gone by the UK, if the narrative was real and you got Muslim terrorist bombings there, why are you going to lay off of these people?
	Bring more of them in.
	None of this makes any sense.
	Meanwhile, It's fair or not, they said, it's a perception that is backed by cases that Muslims praying in mass rarely face dispersal orders while a lone Christian with a Bible gets cuffed.
	That's right.
	Well, at least it came to the right conclusion.
	And so, the question is, put forward to the Justice Department, As the Justice Department is going to war with a high visibility issue, again, we're going to focus on certain things.
	This is what is happening now.
	We're in the midst of a PR campaign, and when you look at what is being done by the Trump administration, they're claiming that they're doing or going to do a lot of things that I've always wanted to see done.
	And I will applaud it if it actually happens.
	But you need to still distinguish between Campaign promises and between what they're actually doing, right?
	It's so easy for politicians to make campaign promises.
	And it's also easy for a politician who is in office to make claims about action that hasn't happened yet, that may not happen, and to take a look at the devils that may be in the detail.
	So, this was a question that was put forward by a judge to the Justice Department lawyers.
	As part of this military ban hearing, they want to make sure that people like Corporal Klinger out of MASH are taken out of the military because they're not stable.
	There's something wrong.
	And so the judge argues that Trump's anti-trans order is fueled by animus.
	Animus.
	And said, ask them, would Jesus help?
	Homeless, trans people?
	Well, I think what Jesus would do would cast out their demons.
	I think he would help them.
	And he would help them by getting rid of whatever it is that they're struggling with.
	And so, yeah, he will be coming back and he will be talking to these political deviants, the judges.
	The judges who are identifying As authorities, legal authorities in our country, but they have no more connection with the Constitution and with legitimate authority than these cross-dressers have with their so-called gender.
	So yeah, he will be coming after these political deviants when he returns.
	We're going to take a quick break.
	Aaron said, I heard podcasters call Oliver Anthony a plant.
	Suspect, et cetera, and so on.
	Everybody is sus except for our self-selected group.
	Now that is LOL. Yeah, I don't know.
	I didn't see anything about him that was suspected.
	Again, the fact that he would turn his back.
	He made a lot of money off of iTunes stuff.
	Good for him.
	More power to him.
	I don't care.
	That's fine.
	And I think his social criticism was spot on.
	And I think it showed something about his character and his wisdom to say, I don't want to get caught up in this business.
	You know, this business, look at what happens to people who get caught up in it.
	You know, the Britney Spears and the Taylor Swift and everything.
	They turn into degenerate monsters.
	You know, why would you want to do business with these people?
	Why would you want to spend your life on tour?
	What a miserable life.
	And so good for him.
	Okay, good.
	I made some money off of this stuff, but I'm focused on what I think is important in life.
	And I think he's a grounded Christian.
	And so we'll see what happens.
	The very fact that he wants to set up this organization to help revive rural areas one town at a time, that speaks a lot.
	Matthew Ronson says, censorship keeps us safe and free from the trauma of being triggered by unpleasant realities.
	Yeah, that's exactly right.
	We're going to take a quick break.
	break.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	Well, we have more eggs are being confiscated at the U.S.-Mexico border amid the bird flu outbreak, says the LA Times.
	Is that really what is happening here?
	Look, they've got to punish us, don't they?
	Until we beg for our food to be injected with mRNA.
	That's what's really going on here, folks.
	Let's just call it what it is.
	Going to have to continue to punish us.
	We've already got record prices.
	And why are people bringing eggs from Mexico?
	Is it because they're cheaper there?
	Oh yeah, they're a lot cheaper there.
	Why are they so much cheaper there, you might ask?
	Well, first of all, let's talk about how cheap the eggs in Mexico are.
	This is a little PR thing that the Border Patrol has put out to warn you not to bring in any eggs from Mexico.
	And so they put this up on social media.
	Uncooked eggs are not allowed to be brought into the U.S. from Mexico due to the risk of bird flu and Newcastle disease.
	Newcastle.
	Oh, whatever.
	Anyway, as of February the 10th, 2025, the average price for a dozen white eggs in Mexican supermarkets ranged between $2.58 and $3.40 per dozen.
	What are they in the United States?
	Egg prices have hit a record high of $4.95 per dozen, so we're looking at about two times the cost.
	As a matter of fact, in Mexico City, the average cost is $2.52.
	It's lower than the range that they gave there.
	And here they're about $5.
	Why is that?
	You know, I guess it must be because people in Mexico, you know, I guess they're all dying of Newcastle disease, whatever that is, right?
	Yeah, right.
	But you can't bring the eggs across the border.
	You know what's coming across the border back and forth all the time?
	Wild birds.
	Why isn't that a problem?
	Why aren't they finding dead birds on the border?
	You know, as soon as you cross into America, you drop dead.
	It's a bird, right?
	In America, we've got bird flu.
	They don't have any bird flu in Mexico.
	They've got eggs that are half the price of ours.
	There was a 29% increase in eggs being confiscated at ports of entry.
	Going back all the way to October and still going on.
	I guess the Border Patrol is eating well.
	I wouldn't be surprised if they're reselling it.
	Hey, want some eggs from Mexico?
	It's common practice to get some groceries or medications and cross the border with it because everything is cheaper in Mexico.
	Why is that?
	Because the corporations and the government regulations that are here that are unnecessary.
	Raw eggs are on the prohibited list.
	So, there you go.
	No raw eggs.
	No raw milk.
	We're going to shut down all that unhealthy food.
	Here, have some high fructose syrup and some dyes with titanium in them and that type of thing.
	No, they're going to come against that, right?
	But they also, at the same time, don't want you to have any eggs.
	The eggs will remain with the agents, he said.
	He said the shopper is more likely to be warned rather than fined.
	Sorry, got those eggs.
	I'll have to keep those.
	Don't worry about it.
	Everything's fine.
	And I won't fine you.
	Travelers are prohibited from bringing eggs, raw chicken, or live birds in the U.S. from Mexico.
	Live birds.
	Except we're told that we need to have more biosecurity in America.
	I think what they're going to have to do is put in some aerial drones to shoot wild birds out of the sky when they cross the border.
	That's the way we're going to have to.
	Maybe we could get Lucky Palmer and his company Andruil that's working on drones to patrol the border.
	Maybe they can turn it into a kind of no man's land.
	A militarized zone instead of a demilitarized zone like they have between North and South Korea, for example.
	We could have a militarized zone there at the border.
	We could use the drones to shoot down any wild birds that come across because they're going to kill us all.
	The government will.
	Mexico does not have bird brain flu.
	Mexican chickens are somehow immune to catching it.
	And so are the wild birds.
	It's only the birds in American farms.
	A record high of $4.95 in January, the surge in egg prices has been attributed to what?
	What is it?
	Well, here's what media tells us.
	It's attributed to an outbreak of avian flu that is depleting chicken populations.
	No, it's not the virus that's killing them.
	It is an outbreak of the USDA that broke out of the Constitution.
	It's an outbreak of the USDA that is killing all the chickens and destroying all the eggs.
	13 million killed in the month of December alone, and it went up in January to 14 million.
	So the population of conventionally caged chickens has been depleted by about 8%, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
	No, it's been depleted by about 8% by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
	They're the ones who are doing it.
	And what is it that we're saying?
	New Secretary for Agriculture, who was over the USDA, Brooke Rollins, she was installed last Thursday.
	And she said what she did within just a short period of time.
	She went in and had a conference with the people at the USDA, and they explained to her what needed to be done.
	They needed to quickly approve a bird flu vaccine by Zotis.
	And that's going to solve it.
	Going to vaccinate the birds.
	That's the solution.
	Look, to call this the Department of Agriculture is like saying that the Department of Justice is about justice.
	Or like saying that the Department of Defense is about defense.
	These departments, the DOJ, is the opponent of justice.
	The Department of Defense is the opposite of defense.
	They're on the offense and they're starting wars and getting us involved in wars all over the world and putting a big target on us.
	You know, what do you think?
	All these people, we're responsible for going in and the bombs that we give or sell.
	All the children, I saw a disgusting reality.
	You have to not turn away sometimes from reality.
	And it was a bombing in Gaza and a father holding up his maybe two-year-old son's body with no head.
	What do you think he thinks of the United States?
	He probably thinks the same thing I think of the United States, except that the United States government, except that he's got a lot stronger feelings.
	It is not defense to do that.
	It is an offense.
	They're going on offense.
	And it is an offense to God what they are doing there.
	Not to mention the other people.
	And so the Department of Agriculture, just like the Department of Justice and Defense, is against agriculture.
	It's like the Patriot Act is against patriots.
	Everything that our government does is upside down, inside out, and a lie.
	So they're going to seize and destroy eggs at the border, chickens at the border.
	And our egg prices keep going higher and higher because they've got to punish us until we beg them to please vaccinate the chickens so we can have chickens and eggs and stuff like that again.
	We've got to beg them for it.
	And that's what the mainstream media is doing.
	They're begging them for it.
	Now, this is sent to me by Jonathan.
	And he said, chickens come home to root.
	Not to roost, but to root.
	Wayne Allen Root.
	What is he going to say now?
	He is a health fitness enthusiast who says that he eats around 10 to 20 eggs a day.
	That's pretty amazing.
	Look, I think eggs are great food.
	I eat a lot more eggs than they recommend because I don't believe their recommendations.
	About 10 to 20 eggs a day.
	Of course, there's a lot of different ways that you can cook eggs and prepare them.
	Anyway, he has stated that eggs are nearly half of his diet.
	And he lives all organic and chemical-free with vitamins, no meds, absolutely no mRNA or vaccines.
	So animals and chickens getting vaccines forced on them with toxic, unnatural technology, this should be a line in the sand for him, shouldn't it?
	Well, the problem with Wayne Allynrude, as I pointed out, was he's known for the longest time.
	I didn't know that he was on a health kick like this.
	I don't spend much time listening.
	I've talked about...
	His worship of Trump.
	How he called Trump the chosen one.
	To me, that's beyond offensive.
	And he's one of these people, like Alex Jones, that will try to make an excuse for Trump.
	Alex knows, and now he's telling people, he's not telling people that the vaccines are sugar water anymore.
	He's telling them they're really harmful.
	Which is what he told them for 20 years until it was time.
	To pull this gag on us.
	And then Trump did a rug pull.
	I mean, well, Trump did it, but also Alex did it.
	Yeah, don't worry about the adjuvants and everything.
	It's just sugar water.
	Of course, we're going to have to have a little bit of aluminum and mercury and things like that in it.
	But Wayne Allyn Root was cut from the same cloth.
	I'm not going to criticize anything Trump does.
	As a matter of fact, I'm going to try to tell everybody that it's 4-D chess, that, you know, you need to trust him and trust the plan and all the rest of this.
	And both of them were screaming at Trump and saying, stop bragging about the vaccine.
	Stop.
	Just don't even talk about it, right?
	And so we know that it's harmful.
	Stop telling everybody that you saved lives and all the rest of the stuff.
	And finally, he got the message after bragging about it for, what, four and a half years?
	Not building.
	As he's giving them the money to roll it out in a massive way, he's bragging about it.
	And they continued to brag about it after he was out.
	So they finally got the message that, you know, Trump got the message and he stopped talking about it.
	Wayne Allen Root really didn't care.
	The problem is, you know, we saved tens of millions of lives all over the world, but I can't talk about it because our base, our beautiful base of wisdom.
	Yeah, that's what Wayne Allen Root was telling him.
	Don't talk about it.
	Don't get angry when we mention the word vaccine.
	Don't get angry.
	You did everything you could to get this vaccine now.
	I know we're using the vaccine.
	It was one of the greatest achievements.
	We did it in less than nine months.
	To be able to do that.
	But now it's taken a twist, right?
	And look, I guess in a certain way I'm the father of the vaccine because I was the one that pushed it.
	Yeah.
	He pushed it.
	He said, skip the testing.
	So, you know, is this going to be a line in the sand for Wayne Allen Root?
	Because he wants to get his stuff.
	You know, hey, it's easy enough to refuse a jab, and that's why they're doing this now.
	Think about the fact that you've got these rumors out there that they're going to shut down the Trump shot.
	Oh, that's the other thing.
	Boy, that really triggers the MAGA people when I call it the Trump shot on social media.
	It's what he calls it.
	He says he's the father of the vaccine.
	He says it's his shot.
	You don't have a problem when Trump says it's his shot.
	You have a problem when I say it's his shot because you know what it is.
	And just because you want to lie to yourself, don't lie to me.
	You want to live by lies?
	You want to play this double-think game?
	No, not going to go there.
	Anyway, but, you know, Wayne Allyn Root knows all this stuff.
	What's he going to do about all this?
	Because now it's going to be pretty hard for him to avoid this in his food unless he...
	Starts finding a farm nearby that he trusts or starts growing it himself.
	But I don't think he's got any lines.
	You know, is this going to be the line in the sand for him to cross?
	I don't think he's got any lines.
	I don't think he's got any guidelines.
	He'll do whatever is expedient for the moment.
	All these guys will.
	So then, why bird flu and why now?
	asked Joel Salatin.
	And remember, I showed this yesterday from Joel Salatin.
	Where he said on bird flu and egg prices, he said, I've always suggested the survivors should be kept, the birds, for breeding in order to build flock immunity.
	This is a basic animal genetic principle.
	It is not even debatable.
	And yet, U.S. scientific protocol is to kill the healthy ones.
	Yeah, why would they do that?
	That doesn't make any sense.
	According to their paradigm of vaccines and viruses and contagion, that makes absolutely no sense.
	Just like everything else they were doing in 2020 makes no sense.
	But you've got all the people who are going to just go along or even excuse it because of their political tribe and because of their political ambitions.
	So Joel Salatin wrote this.
	Why bird flu and why now?
	He said, ever since the COVID debacle, I've become dubious of anything the government says.
	He says, well, way more than dubious.
	He said the official narrative is wrong 90% of the time.
	Well, I would say it's wrong more than 90% of the time.
	I would say it's wrong more than 100% of the time.
	How can that be possible?
	Well, if the government tells you a lie about masks, and then they double down with masks and tell you to wear two masks, now you've got to wear three masks.
	If they keep changing their story, and if they reverse their story from one thing to the other.
	Well, then that's a lie.
	That's a multiple lie about the same thing, right?
	So, I mean, you know, if you go back and you look at what was being done by Fauci and Trump in 2020, I would say that they were lying about 200-300% of the time.
	Multiple different lies about the same things.
	So, a bunch of things he said suddenly fell into place for me today.
	When one of our staff, who just returned from visiting family in Michigan, came with stories of signs over vacant egg shelves in the supermarket saying, egg shortage due to cage-free chicken production.
	He said, brings to mind conversations I had several years ago when Burger King announced that within 10 years they would use only cage-free eggs.
	The food writer for the Washington Post called me to get my comments about such an earth-shattering announcement.
	Of course, she assumed I'd be thrilled and have all kinds of wonderful things to say about it.
	My response was, why 10 years?
	He said, we got a Burger King 15 minutes from our farm.
	We could supply cage-free eggs today.
	In fact, we can do even better.
	And we can offer pasteurized, GMO-free, vaccine-free eggs right now.
	Why the long runway?
	Why the long lead-up in terms of time to do this?
	He said, I began doing some sleuthing on the issue, talking to folks friendly to the industry, and they were quite surprised at my naivete.
	They said, don't you realize the plan?
	The long runway is to give time for the industry to prove the superiority of caged hens so that they don't have to go cage-free.
	Industry folks were adamant, and are right now, That caged birds are healthier than cage-free.
	And they will fight both tooth and nail to keep caged production systems.
	Now, if I understand what these things mean, he says cage-free means that the birds live in and on their poop and stir up far more fecal dust to inhale.
	He said caged birds, although they can't move around, at least they don't live on their poop.
	And they don't have fecal bedding to stir up and to create pathogenic dust.
	He said that's their argument.
	The industry has a lot of money tied up in the caged infrastructure, from housing to egg collection to feed distribution.
	That's the train, and the train doesn't like to be derailed.
	Those old conversations from several years ago suddenly popped into my mind when I learned today that supermarkets are putting up signage blaming cage-free chickens for bird flu.
	See, we told you.
	They're going to say, you animal welfare folks are such idiots and now your cage-free rules and your prejudices are destroying the egg industry.
	So, you know, what are we talking about in terms of caging?
	The way I understand it is that when they talk about caged hens, they are in a cage and not on the ground.
	They live their whole life in a very small cage where they can't really even move around.
	I think that's what it actually looks like.
	Whereas when they're talking about cage-free, chickens could still be cooped up in a chicken coop.
	And a chicken coop stepping on poop.
	You know, that's the poet who don't know it.
	But that is supposedly cage-free, as opposed to...
	You know, there's all these different things, free-range and everything.
	I guess that's, you know, let them out, let them roam around over a certain area, I think.
	And, you know, that doesn't mean that they're out completely all the time free.
	That means that they could be in a walkway or something like that, that you've got a run for them.
	And so by all that stuff, our chickens are free-range, non-GMO, non-vaccinated, all the rest of this stuff, and will remain that way.
	The USDA has conditionally approved bird flu vaccine for poultry report.
	As I pointed out, as soon as she was conferred, Brooke Rollins goes over and talks to these people.
	Now, I did some research, a little bit of research on her background.
	Where did she come from?
	Well, she was the ethics advisor and the policy director to Rick Perry.
	It's like, uh-oh, uh-oh, pharmaceutical connections right there.
	Right there.
	Remember Rick Perry back in 2007?
	In 2007, it was the first time we ever had any vaccine mandates.
	It came from Rick Perry, a Republican governor, who, if you remember when he ran for president, he said, there's three departments that I'm going to ban.
	And he said, Department of Education, and I forget what the other one was, maybe Department of Commerce or something.
	And the third one was Department of Energy.
	And in the debate, he couldn't remember what that third one was.
	That's how firm his principles were.
	They'd given this a lot of thought.
	And he was, you know, we've got three agencies that there's no constitutional authority for, and we've got to get rid of them, but he couldn't remember what it was.
	So, yeah, he hadn't really thought about it.
	And they laughed.
	And one of his opponents told him what he had said in the past, that he's going to get rid of the Department of Energy.
	Well, that was in 2016, I think, when he was running.
	Maybe it was an earlier one.
	But when Trump got elected, Trump appointed Rick Perry as the head of the Department of Energy.
	You can't say that Trump doesn't have a sense of humor.
	And of course, Rick Perry didn't do anything to get rid of that agency.
	He didn't do anything to pare it down either.
	Yeah, he was perfectly content there at the Department of Energy.
	But going back to when he was governor in 2007, he mandated by executive order that all teen girls who went to school would have to get a Gardasil shot.
	It was outrageous.
	Supposed to protect you from, was it HPV or something?
	Yeah, HPV, I think.
	Kids that weren't at a young age were, you know, not that many of them were sexually active.
	Parents had no responsibility.
	Well, it was the Texas legislature that shut that down.
	They overturned his executive order.
	It was a big black mark on him.
	And so I looked at this because I remembered at the time that in addition to how scandalous it was that he was going to mandate vaccines like this and how he was going to take away parental consent, The other thing that came out of it was that one of his advisors for many years had gone to work for Merck that was making Gardasil.
	And, of course, Monsef Slaoui, who was the lifetime pal of Anthony Fauci, the two of them, used to hang out all together, and he was put in as head of Operation Warp Speed.
	Monsef Slaoui, at a different pharmaceutical company, came up with his own HPV vaccine, so as a competitor to it.
	But Rick Perry had an employee that had been a long-term advisor employee who left and had gone to work for Merck.
	And shortly after that, you had Rick Perry mandate this Merck vaccine, Gardasil.
	And I thought, was that her?
	So I started looking at it, and it's like, no, it was a guy.
	But she was a long-term advisor to him, many, many, many years.
	And as a matter of fact, in December.
	Of last year, after Trump got elected, Rick Perry wrote this glowing editorial about how Brooke Rollins was one of the greatest people and lobbyists and all the rest of the stuff that he'd ever known.
	He said, you know, we've generated some really great people out of Houston, out of Texas.
	We had Sam Houston.
	We had Sandra Day O'Connor.
	How do you put those two in the same boat?
	And then he brings in Brooke Rollins along that line.
	That's how he begins his op-ed piece.
	It was a hoot, except it was disgusting.
	That's Rick Perry.
	And so she has been there and been pretty important in state politics in Texas.
	And so she had actually worked also in the first Trump administration.
	And she had absolutely no problem with Trump's lockdowns, Trump's masks, Trump's ventilators, Trump's...
	CMS bribery of hospitals to kill people with the ventilators and the remdesivir and the rest of this stuff and to give them a bonus for doing it.
	She had no problems with any of that.
	As a matter of fact, when Trump lost, she immediately, after the Trump loss, formed a group called America First Policy Institute.
	Did that in 2021. Big cheerleader for Trump, and she is a political animal if ever there was one.
	So now she is in charge.
	Of vaccinating all the animals.
	And that's what she intends to do.
	Again, you look at these politicians, they'll do whatever the big pharmaceutical companies want them to do.
	Vaccine cartel gets closer to realizing its dream of vaccinating 308 million egg-laying hens in the U.S. Now, let's think about it.
	How many cows are there?
	87 million.
	How many pigs are there?
	75 million.
	We've got 308 million chickens.
	That means that the big pharmaceutical companies have a market there of 470 million vaccines.
	And of course, those will be done on an annual basis.
	And the chickens aren't going to object to booster shots either.
	They might do it more than once a year.
	You know, just to be sure.
	If somebody says, oh, we've got this contagion that's coming around.
	That's really serious.
	We better vaccinate them again.
	Oh, and not only that, that's just for one thing, right?
	So if we're going to vaccinate half a billion animals for one thing, well, then we can vaccinate them for something else.
	Before long, you've got all of the hypodermic needles arranged around the animals, like the picture that you've seen of the toddlers.
	Getting six dozen vaccines by the time they're school age or whatever.
	If you follow their schedule.
	Now a lot of parents don't.
	But the farmers will.
	The big agricultural things.
	And the farmers who don't will be shut down by Brooke Rollins and her bureaucracy that she's in charge of.
	So this is huge.
	They're literally going to be able to sell billions of vaccines a year.
	Because as I said, they may do multiple ones for every condition.
	And there will be multiple conditions.
	And so they've got a population here, a captive population, of half a billion animals that they can vaccinate every year.
	That's the goal.
	You see, when people talk about how we're winning so much with Trump, I've said, and I will continue to say, and I do not trust the man with anything.
	I do not trust him with anything.
	I don't even believe he was shot in Butler, Pennsylvania.
	That's what I think of Trump.
	So, whenever you look at these policies on the surface, oh, great, we're winning.
	Well, look a little bit closer.
	In the details, you'll see something that's even more sinister than the people who are coming right at you in your face.
	And telling you what they're going to do.
	The people who stab you in the back, who do this stuff in secret.
	And it's the same stuff that Biden and the Democrats want to do.
	They just do it in secret.
	So this is supposedly designed against this Zotus vaccine, against circulating variants of the bird flu that have decimated poultry flocks.
	And understand, there'll be another variant and another variant and another variant.
	Because they never isolate anything.
	They never have to prove anything.
	They don't have to point to any sick birds.
	What they do is they just tell you.
	They don't need to have a disease in order to have a pandemic.
	They need media.
	They need government.
	They need gullible people who will cheerlead for a politician.
	That's what they need.
	So, you know, think about that.
	Half a billion shots, 470 million shots for the chickens, the cows, and the pigs.
	And we got a total population of people of 350 million, and only 72% of them got the mRNA, according to, you know, estimates.
	Of course, that's their best-guessed estimate.
	So that was only about 252 million jabs.
	I mean, if they only did one jab for one condition, they could double what they were able to get from the human population.
	And to be able to get that mRNA into us, which they so desperately want to do, to harm...
	Asked for the depopulation and all the rest of this stuff.
	And so that would be two times the amount that they were able to do with that massive campaign.
	They don't have to engage in a $250 million ad council propaganda campaign that Trump funded.
	You just tell them.
	You've got to do it.
	Tell the farmers you've got to do it to your animals.
	They don't have to convince anybody.
	And they can do it every year.
	And they can do it multiple times a year.
	And they can do it for multiple conditions.
	One individual says, well, this is what some of the so-called anti-vaccine physicians, like Dr. Peter McCullough, who are actually pro-vaccine, they're concerned about the fact that if you've got a mass vaccination campaign with a non-sterilizing vaccine, vaccine this is one of the things a lot of a lot of fake information on social media people freaking out because they said
	hey we've got these sterilizing vaccines and it's like they're going to sterilize us all well you know a number of pregnancies have gone down by 65 for women who got the trump shot but that's not what they're talking about they're talking about when they say non-sterilizing in their language they're talking about something that is not effective the idea being that if when they talk about sterilizing they say that this is something that is going to keep you from getting it and keep you from passing it on so
	So you've been sterilized against this disease, is what they're saying.
	And so what they're saying is that if this thing is not effective, it can result in the emergence of a new, more virulent viral strain, they said, according to a guy named Leek.
	Rather than...
	Authorizing leaky vaccines for U.S. poultry, they should consider allowing the latest clade of H5N1 to run its course so the birds can acquire natural immunity to it.
	Well, fine, that's what I would say to do, but I don't believe any of this stuff.
	I don't believe any of their vaccine viral stuff, any of the rest of this stuff.
	But look, according to them, according to their paradigm, according to their model, that would be the logical thing to do.
	Actually, we don't need leak.
	We don't need leaky vaccines.
	We need some leakers who are going to tell the truth about what's going on in these industries there.
	In March 30th of 2022, Robert Redfield, Trump's former CDC guy, who was part of that scam, said, I believe the great pandemic is still in the future and that's not going to be bird flu.
	And that's going to be a bird flu pandemic for man.
	It's going to be even bigger than what we pulled on you.
	Bird flu for man is going to have significant mortality in the 10-50% range and it's going to be troubling.
	Again, people quote this all the time.
	Why doesn't anybody say?
	How in the world could he make a decision like that?
	This is not science, folks.
	This is occult predictions.
	Is he going to set up a 900 line?
	Remember when they used to do that?
	The 900 phone numbers, you know?
	Or just a psychic hotline?
	Is that what Robert Redfield is doing now?
	He's got a psychic hotline.
	Yes, I'd like to know what the next pandemic is going to be in a few years.
	And I also know that you would have the case fatality rate for us, wouldn't you?
	50%.
	No, no.
	I always wanted to call up those people and just ask them.
	Yes, this is a psychic hotline.
	Okay, what's on my mind?
	But I didn't want to spend the money with them.
	Just for the satisfaction.
	So, is it going to be a weaponized bird flu?
	No, it's going to be a weaponized vaccine.
	And they don't need to have any real disease.
	They can create a panic-demic.
	All with just the media and government.
	And even the conservative media buys into enough of this stuff that they can panic the people.
	And many of the conservative media deliberately try to panic the people because they're selling health supplements for this stuff.
	So, as we look at what's going on with measles, this is, again, building up.
	Oh, we have 58 cases in Texas.
	58 people out of 32 million.
	Yeah, this is like when Gerald Salenti in January of 2020. Look at that.
	They got four people died in China and one and a half billion still alive.
	They only got 58 cases.
	Out of 32 million people in Texas?
	So what are the symptoms?
	Is it fatal?
	This is another one of these mainstream media articles trying to get everybody scared.
	It's like, well, obviously not.
	You know, we've had one outbreak after the other.
	If you go back and look at Disneyland, remember Disneyland in 2015?
	Oh, that was the thing that scared everybody.
	We had 110 cases in Disneyland and it was traced to, you know, one person who had measles and then everybody else gets the measles and all the rest of this stuff.
	And in the wake of that, they introduced that there's a big fight and it was led by this Democrat senator, state senator in California.
	His name was Pan.
	What a reprehensible character he was.
	Pushing the vaccines and saying, we're going to take away any...
	Parental consent.
	We're going to take away any religious or medical exemptions.
	You're going to get the vaccines.
	You're going to get the MMR stuff.
	It's a big fight, and they won.
	But if you look at it, they had 110 cases.
	They said that when they went through it, they said there were 49 people.
	I've got the numbers written down here.
	Here we are.
	110 cases.
	49 people were unvaxxed.
	So that means that the rest of it, they said, well, 14 of them knew that they were vaxxed and could prove it.
	You know, the other people was like, well, we don't know.
	But they said, we know that 49 were unvaxxed.
	Okay, so that means that of the 110 people, we had 61 people who were vaxxed and 49 who were unvaxxed that got measles.
	Did it help them?
	Was that effective?
	If one and a half times the number of people, Well, not quite one and a half.
	It's not 40 and 60. But, you know, you got 49 people that were unvaxxed that got measles, and you got 61 people who were vaxxed, many of them multiple times.
	They got measles.
	So is the vaccine effective against whatever this is?
	No.
	As a matter of fact, they said, you know, they said they had 14 people that they confirmed who were vaxxed.
	Now, these other people, let's assume, I'm just assuming that they were vaxxed.
	But let's assume that they were unvaxxed.
	Does that still make it something that is helpful?
	No.
	No.
	But I would say that they have to be vaxxed because children between the ages of 12 and 15 months old get their first measles shot.
	The second one is between 4 and 6 years old.
	And it is required for kids before entering kindergarten and public schools nationwide.
	Not just in California.
	Nationwide.
	The people who are not vaxxed are typically older.
	And I would say that since they have this as a requirement to go to school, the reason not to send your kids to school, that I would say that it was 61 of the people who were vaccinated got measles.
	And guess what?
	Nobody died.
	Nobody died.
	And of course, we've seen similar situations like this before.
	They freaked out in New York.
	They had four measles cases.
	How did this happen?
	All the people were vaxxed.
	Some of them were vaxxed multiple times.
	Patient zero was vaxxed twice.
	If their vaccine and their virus stuff is correct, their paradigm is correct, then the vaccines are completely ineffective.
	Well, we know that one way or the other.
	So, between 1942, when the CDC began tracking the virus in 1962, Half a million new cases were reported yearly, but the CDC believes that it was really more like four million due to unreporting.
	Why wouldn't people report it?
	Well, because they weren't going to the hospital.
	Nothing was happening.
	Now, that was the world that I grew up in, the world that Donald Trump grew up in.
	That's why I have such contempt for him when he says, they got to get the shots.
	It's going around.
	You got to get the shots.
	He didn't get the shot.
	They didn't have the shot when he was a kid.
	Didn't have it when I was a kid, fortunately.
	So, you've got 4 million cases a year, according to the CDC. They said about 400 to 500 people died.
	We'll say that that's true.
	Probably exaggerated, but let's say that it's true.
	That would be a case fatality rate of 0.01%.
	0.01%.
	I mean, we're getting light down to the level of CO2 in the atmosphere, you know.
	It's nothing.
	Nothing at all.
	You have more people in those years.
	It'd be dying in car crashes.
	More kids.
	More adults.
	You'd have more people in that dying and drowning in pools.
	Far more.
	You'd have a much higher case fatality rate in cars and pools, swing pools, than you would with measles.
	Why'd they freak out about it?
	Well, nobody freaked out about it.
	It's only recently that everybody freaked out about it.
	Yeah, it's like catching a coal.
	Yeah, some people are going to get pneumonia and some people will die.
	But it isn't something that you need to freak out about.
	Is the vaccine safe?
	Oh, yes!
	The vaccine, mumps, measles, and rubella, the MMR vaccine, is safe and highly effective in preventing measles infections in severe cases of the disease.
	Tell that to the mothers who saw their toddlers die instantly in 2019 when they were injected with MMR in Samoa.
	And then ask what's going on with autism.
	So the latest measles outbreak, Says Children's Health Defense, you know, and RFK Jr., the line that he's taking now is that the latest measles outbreak is a result of failed vaccines, not a failure to vaccinate.
	Oh, so RFK Jr. is there to restore confidence, as he said, to restore confidence in our institutions and to restore confidence in our injections.
	That's what he's there for.
	He's there to build trust.
	Right now, we are in the trust-building phase of the Trump administration before they do the rug pull.
	And they're going to do a rug pull.
	It's going to be just like this Melania coin, where it drops 90% in value.
	After the people who put it together make hundreds of millions of dollars, it'll drop 90% in value.
	So this is the...
	We're going through a rebuild confidence in the institutions and the injections phase.
	That's what RFK Jr. is there for, and he said it.
	Tulsi Gabbard said that's what she's been chosen to do, is to rebuild confidence in the CIA and the rest of this stuff.
	Don't fall for it, folks.
	And if Children's Health Defense is going to take this approach, well, you know, it's not a result of people failing to vaccinate.
	It's a result of failed vaccines.
	We just need to make the vaccines more safe and more effective.
	Well, you'll know where he's going.
	If he doesn't change the vaccine schedule that is there.
	I had a listener out of Germany.
	We were talking about all this.
	The food issues and everything.
	We said for the longest time, you know, when Klaus wants you to eat the bugs, that, you know, we've got these things that God created and they convert bugs into protein.
	They're called chickens.
	Chickens and eggs.
	So we've got to get rid of those.
	And this listener in Germany, who was the one who sent me the information about the Klaus videos, those Klaus Schwab videos are done by some people in Germany.
	And he said, yeah, they've been pushing eating the bugs for quite some time.
	They call these bug suckers.
	You know, we've actually seen this in Pigeon Forge.
	We went into a place.
	Karen's nodded her head.
	Yes, it was disgusting.
	Not this particular one.
	It was a different thing.
	But they put bugs inside a lollipop or something, right?
	Because it's pretty big.
	A lot of sugar there before you actually get to the bug.
	Because if you're taking medicine, a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.
	But you're going to have to have a lot of sugar to get that bug down.
	But they call these things bug suckers in Germany.
	And speaking of sugar, this is a...
	Mike sent this to me.
	He says, I got a couple of friends who refused to believe that A.J. compared the Trump shot to sugar water.
	Asked if I could send an MP3 file of it.
	I'll do that, Mike.
	And so he says, do you have a link to the clip?
	Actually, somebody sent it to me on Twitter, the sugar water thing.
	But, you know, I had a lot of people writing me, and it's like, I can't imagine that he would actually say, they've got to be getting that wrong.
	And then Alex did it to me when I was there, the next time as we were going out, the last 30 seconds of the broadcast, the music is playing, and he's, you know, and that's what he's saying is that, no, that's going to be the good vaccine that Trump is going to have out there for us.
	And so, but I had not seen those clips that had been sent to me because I did not.
	I didn't watch Alex's show.
	I didn't have time.
	And, um, I didn't listen to the infomercials because it's got to be a bit much, you know, there'd be a five minute infomercial.
	I'd come on for nine minutes.
	Then we'd do a five minute infomercial.
	That was the way the clock was set up.
	And it was just grating on me to hear five minute infomercials, the same ones over and over again.
	And so I told the crew, I said, cut that off and just come back in when the intro music starts.
	And, um, and so I would be able to read and think during those periods of time.
	So I didn't listen to the set pieces that Alex had and everything, but somebody sent that And when I posted it, I'll tell you, Mike, I posted it on Twitter, and I got so much hate from people for putting that up.
	It's like, he's the one who told you it was sugar water while he's now telling you that it was bad.
	He told you before that that it was bad.
	He told you after that it was bad.
	But when it was Trump, it was good.
	It's like, you know, that's not real.
	I was like, this is, first of all, we don't have any AI that's this good yet.
	That was way before.
	The AI stuff was out there.
	But just be prepared, Mike, that your friends won't believe it even if they see it.
	They don't believe what Trump has done, even though they see what Trump has done.
	Maybe they have eyes to see and ears to hear, but I've seen more often than not that these MAGA people are both deaf and dumb, and even dumber.
	Even dumber than dumb.
	They don't speak, they don't listen, they don't see any of this stuff.
	I mean, they just...
	It isn't there.
	Here's an example, okay?
	You've got Albert Borla, the Pfizer CEO, is saying, well, somebody challenged him on the fact that they've got immunity, which no other business has.
	No other business has immunity from the harm that they do, like they do for the childhood vaccines that was put in in 1986. Fauci is one of the first things he did.
	Ronald Reagan signed the bill.
	They said, if we don't have liability protection, we won't be able to do this because we're harming so many people.
	Okay, we'll fix that for you.
	And so Albert Borla, the Pfizer CEO, defended the immunity that they have.
	And by the way, when I found out about that, that was when I became anti-vaccine.
	It's like, okay, these people know what they're doing.
	It was an aha moment like it was when I was running for Congress and somebody...
	Asked me about partial birth abortion.
	I was like, wait a minute, what's that?
	Oh, okay.
	Well, I understand what this is about now.
	This is not a question, an honest question of when life begins.
	These people just want to kill babies.
	And so this was not a, you know, when I heard about this, about the 1986 act, it was like, okay, I understand what this is about.
	They know exactly what they're doing, and they demand protection that nobody else needs to have.
	And so he said in a CNBC interview where they challenged him, he said on Tuesday, He said, well, we've got a system where, quote, litigations flourish.
	Anyone can create a demand that the accident in a car happened because of a vaccine.
	What?
	It was actually just the opposite that happened.
	During the preparation phase of the pandemic that Trump was running, we had, in Houston, a famous case I talked about then many times since, a guy He died in a motorcycle accident and the coroner called it a COVID death.
	And when they called him out on it, he said, well, it could have been COVID. No.
	It's like, look at that COVID. Was he sneezing and that caused him to have the motorcycle accident or something like that?
	But yeah, it's been exactly the opposite.
	You know, we blamed a motor vehicle accident death on COVID. And so you've got to get the vaccine.
	But that is not...
	What is happening with these people, and that's the absurd case of it.
	But yet, Trump absolutely loves Albert Borla as much as his own people hate him.
	The clip I played yet again today, Trump vaccine father.
	Yes, I know, my people don't like to hear it, they don't like to hear it, but vaccine is a great thing.
	And you know, they still don't like to hear it, but they still love Trump.
	They've got this double thing that's going on.
	Here's Trump.
	Calling out Albert Borla.
	He just loves Albert.
	How wonderful it is.
	And the people there who are supporting Trump.
	Boo Albert Borla.
	And he just kind of laughs it off.
	We also have the head of Pfizer here.
	So I want to thank him.
	One of the great, great people.
	One of the great businessmen.
	Thank you, Albert.
	Thank you.
	Thank you very much.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Those stupid jerks, they'll still vote for me.
	I don't care, you know.
	I shoot him.
	I tell him to get the vaccine.
	They die.
	They get crippled.
	They'll still vote for me.
	Listen to that.
	Yeah, Albert.
	Great.
	I love this guy.
	They're booing him.
	And he just kind of laughs it off.
	So Burla says, the chances that a jury would buy this story, that somebody had a car accident because of my vaccine, he said it's just a mere, quote, flip of the coin.
	Well, I would ask him this.
	How, then, is it that every other industry, Has to do business without that kind of blanket liability protection.
	How does any other business survive if what he is saying is true?
	Of course he's lying.
	That's all he does is lie.
	And now they have a personal vaccine they're saying may reduce the risk of pancreatic cancer.
	This is ABC News pushing this because, you know, as we all know, all of these people are brought to you by Pfizer.
	I can't find that in here because I was going to play that, but never mind.
	We'll ignore that for right now.
	But they're all brought to you by Pfizer.
	Trump is brought to you by Pfizer.
	We should put up a commercial.
	There's this wonderful Albert Borla, brought to you by Pfizer.
	Trump as well.
	So they said, personal vaccine may reduce the risk of pancreatic cancer.
	Notice they say may.
	And then they qualify it, saying small study fines.
	Well, we need to do some more work, but let's make it a headline thing and put it in everybody's mind that somehow the vaccines, notice how they flip the script.
	The vaccines aren't causing cancer.
	The vaccines are curing cancer.
	Isn't that great?
	You know, just like we're going to say an automobile accident, we're going to blame it on COVID. No, you're going to blame the accident on my vaccine.
	No, they flip the script.
	They're saying that a personal vaccine.
	Now, this is happening over and over again.
	This is a different group of people.
	But notice that was what Trump was doing with the Stargate thing.
	And then I told you yesterday that Nancy Pelosi got something like a 113% return on her investment, more than doubled her money, because she invested in an AI health company.
	And she did it right before they acquired a genetic testing company.
	And the stock more than doubled in value.
	So she's doing insider trading, but so is Trump.
	And guess what?
	Both Trump and Pelosi are buying into this, we're going to do personalized vaccines, and we're going to use them to cure cancer.
	Now, this one, I don't know if it's mRNA, but that's what they're saying.
	That's what they're trying to sell people.
	Look.
	Instead of getting into this stuff, seriously, go to RNC Stores.
	I've had them on a couple of times.
	And rncstores.com, you can even get a 10% off of the books or the B-17, the apricot seeds.
	I just don't understand why people won't try something that is cheap, that is natural, that has no side effects.
	Instead, So many people are going to be railroaded or deceived into doing this thing where they're going to go out and have an AI test and a personalized mRNA vaccine, a genetic code injection, which is what I call these things from the very beginning.
	Don't do that.
	At least try the simple, natural stuff.
	And if you want to know more about it, there's the G. Edward Griffin.
	I've interviewed Joe.
	G. Edward Griffin on that as well.
	I mean, everybody knows G. Edward Griffin from the Federal Reserve expose that he did.
	A creature from Jekyll Island.
	But when I found out that he was involved in the B-17 apricot seeds, they also call it laetrile, a lot of different things.
	But I wanted to know that story.
	And G. Edward Griffin wrote a story about that because of a physician who told him that he was Having a lot of success treating all kinds of late-stage cancers and all the rest of the stuff with just apricot seeds.
	And he said, I want to get this information out, but I know they'll pull my license if I do it.
	Would you do it?
	Sure, I'll do it.
	I don't care.
	He said, this is the kind of guy I like, Edward Griffin.
	He doesn't care what happens.
	He's going to put the truth out there and let the consequences go with it, whatever happens.
	So he wrote a book, A World Without Cancer, and you can get that book at rncstores.com as well.
	So, you know, please do the simple, natural stuff first.
	And that's all I would say.
	Just plead with people to not do that.
	Just like I pleaded with people, please don't take the mRNA shot.
	Please don't take the Trump shot.
	Please don't go to January the 6th.
	And please don't put your trust in the pharmaceutical industry.
	They have betrayed that trust over and over again.
	Whether you're talking about vaccines or antibiotics or anything, I will not take any pharmaceutical drugs.
	There's plenty of natural remedies out there, and you can find them if you ask Dr. Google.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	And now, the David Knight Show.
	Mag Z says, David the Muslim man on the London Bridge was performing the Adhan, which is the Islamic call for prayer.
	Equivalent to the tolling of the bells.
	I kind of prefer the church bells myself, actually.
	I'm just a cultural bigot, I guess.
	One Mind Covenant says, it isn't about prayer per se.
	It's all about abortion.
	Do Muslims protest outside of clinics?
	No, they don't abort their babies.
	Not to say that Christianity isn't also hated.
	Yeah, I agree.
	It really is both of those things.
	They hate Christianity, and they want the babies killed.
	And so I agree with you.
	Cervantes Galan says, Muslims praying publicly en masse are showing their dominance in the area in which they do so.
	Yep, they're marking their territory.
	They're here to conquer, not to peacefully coexist.
	That's right.
	Everywhere they go, they will – you'll get the Dome of the Rock, for example, built over where the Jewish temple was in Jerusalem, or many different – one place after the other.
	You go to Constantinople.
	Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople, as the song goes, right?
	They went into a Christian cathedral there.
	Beautiful place that had been around since Constantinople.
	And they turned it into a mosque.
	They do that everywhere.
	They either take over the building or they knock it down and build their own building or something.
	It is a sign of dominance.
	It's what people do.
	It's why they're tearing down statues everywhere.
	It's when a movement takes over, they tear down the history and the culture of the preceding movement.
	Guard Goldsmith.
	Good to see you there.
	Wayne, he's talking about Wayne Allen Root.
	Loves the jabs, loves Trump, yet doesn't want the bird serum in his system.
	Well, when I saw him, he was criticizing the jabs.
	By the way, that's Guard Goldsmith.
	Good to see you, Guard.
	He has Liberty Conspiracy every evening on Twitter and Rockfin.
	and he's also if you get on the mailing list on his sub stack he'll give you a a sunday uh supplement of some great stories he does a great job of going through and putting that together um woodpecker 5778 david can you post your email address please or is it posted somewhere in this page it is And Matthew Ronson asked the same thing as well.
	The email is davidnightshow at protonmail.com, but if you go to thedavidnightshow.com, you can see the contact there for the email.
	And it's a good thing that I had that.
	I was using that when I was at Infowars.
	Otherwise, I would have just completely disappeared from the world.
	That was like my little lifeline out there to everybody.
	The fact that I had my Twitter and I had my email, and that's all I had.
	Everything else was taken away or kept, even if it was in my name.
	It was taken away or kept when I was fired for telling people about January the 6th.
	So yeah, you can go to DavidKnightShow at ProtonMail.com or you can find it at our website.
	JimZ7 says, Trump's press secretary announced that Biden regime for culling chickens prior to his escape from Pompeii.
	So they're aware of the problem.
	Now, will they address it?
	Well, I'm just telling you what Brooke Rollins said.
	She didn't say, she said they were being compelled to kill the chickens because biosecurity, she mentioned that over and over again, biosecurity this and biosecurity that.
	You mean you just can't keep out all those wild ducks, geese, and turkeys?
	I was showing the other day the wild turkeys.
	We're all over the place.
	And you and I both know that we don't see any dead wild birds.
	None at all.
	Because the USDA can't get to them.
	It's the USDA that's killing everything.
	And so they're aware of that, and they said the only solution is the mRNA shot.
	Octo Spook, how is RFK Jr. going to expose the mass-murdering vaccines and those with him and not mention Trump?
	He's got a real problem.
	Well, you know, if they pull this thing back, like I said, they may, because the vaccine has got such a bad rap with his people, and because we're now in the con stage, the confidence-building stage, you've got to have confidence in the institutions, you've got to have confidence that Trump has completely changed.
	And so...
	I think that they might do that.
	I don't know if Trump will address it.
	If they do, they're trying with this lab leak stuff to build the alibi to say it was real and we did the best that we could.
	And it looked like it was working, but so forth and so on.
	Some people had a problem with it, so we're going to stop it.
	Meanwhile, they want mRNA for everything.
	They want AI, custom-made genetic code injections for this and that, and they're going to put mRNA in the food.
	So that's why I say, you know, everybody's like, oh, look, he's going to stop the jab.
	Well, even if he stopped the jab, he's going to multiply it in every other aspect of our life.
	Gard Goldsmith says, Seriously, Wayne Allen Root is like the ultimate huckster.
	Total snake oil dude when I met him.
	But he does say that he's found Christ.
	Too bad he can't find the truth about Trump and the Constitution.
	Well, if he finds Christ, he'll stop lying to us.
	And he'll care more about people getting hurt than he'll care about the people following him.
	Beware when...
	Jesus said, woe to you, Wayne, when all men speak well of you, or when all MAGA people follow you, because you're probably lying to them to get them to do that.
	Coral1, RFK is nothing but a shill for Trump and was put in place to get the non-vax folks, and now his true callers are coming out.
	I agree.
	I don't trust him either.
	I don't trust Tulsi Gabbard.
	She's a work of art, isn't she?
	She's got her Illuminati pictures of herself that she's staging.
	I mean, what's going on with that?
	High Verbal says, listening to the egg-zosting propaganda is so exhausting and my brain is scrambled now.
	I tried to look at life on the sunny side up.
	That's all yolks.
	Yeah, that's good.
	Okay.
	Just like there's an infinite number of ways to cook eggs, there's an infinite number of ways to make jokes about them, aren't there?
	Well, J.D. Vance.
	And he's been in Europe.
	He's been at CPAC. And, of course, he's telling people what they know is the truth.
	They know what the truth is.
	Like I said, that's the con stage here.
	So he's making all kinds of statements about culture and religion and masculinity and Christianity.
	He says, yeah, the culture is attacking masculinity.
	And it is creating androgynous idiots.
	Well, he's absolutely right about that.
	But if you want to know the real truth about all of this stuff...
	Let's go back to an old clip from Aaron Russo.
	This guy is a Hollywood producer, and he actually produced Trading Places with Dan Aykroyd and one of the most popular comedians out there.
	Anyway, so you all know.
	Even if I don't, you're all screaming at the radio right now.
	This is the guy's name.
	But anyway, Aaron Russo didn't just produce that.
	He produced The Rose with Bette Midler and a bunch of other things.
	And he ran for president.
	Was going to run for president as a libertarian.
	Then suddenly he got cancer and died.
	But he would tell people why he'd been rubbing shoulders with a lot of the really wealthy people that were out there.
	And so he said this about where feminism came from.
	What he told me was that Eddie Murphy just came to me.
	We were talking and he started laughing.
	He said, Aaron, what do you think women's liberation was about?
	And I said, I'm pretty conventional thinking about it at that point.
	I said, I think women have the right to work, getting equal pay with men, just like they want the right to vote.
	And he started to laugh.
	I said, you're an idiot.
	And I said, why am I an idiot?
	He said, let me tell you what that was about.
	We, the Rockefellers, funded that.
	We funded Women's Lib, you know?
	And we're the ones who got all over the newspapers and television, the Rockefeller Foundation.
	He says, and you want to know why?
	He says, there were two primary reasons.
	And they were, one reason was, we couldn't tax half the population before Women's Lib.
	And the second reason was, now we get the kids in school at an early age.
	We can indoctrinate the kids how to think.
	It breaks up their family.
	The kids start looking at the state as the family, as the school, as the officials, as their family, not as the parents teaching them.
	And so those are the two primary reasons for women's lives, which I thought up to that point was a noble thing.
	You know, when I saw their intentions behind it, where they were coming from when they created it, the thought of it, I saw the evil behind what I thought was a noble adventure.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Well, you know, I talked, when I would address people back in the early 90s, I said, when I ran for Congress, I said, take a look at when we had a typical situation where you had a two-parent family, and They could afford to have the mother stay at home.
	And I said, at that point in time, the amount of taxes that they were paying was only about 2% income tax in the early 1950s.
	And then, what do you have?
	You've got, now, they're paying about 28%.
	And both parents are working.
	And in many cases, because the mother would have a part-time job or something like that, And was not really pursuing a lifetime career.
	Her income was not as great as the husband.
	And so maybe about 28% of the family's income in many cases.
	That was pretty typical when I was talking about it in the late 1980s.
	And so you basically have put women to work to pay the taxes.
	And that's what he said exactly there.
	But the even more damaging thing.
	It's to have the fact that the government was going to be able to raise and indoctrinate the children.
	So it's never about what it's about, is it?
	They've always got a way to sell it to you, but it's always really about something else.
	And whether or not that's their intention, you need to think about what the consequences are of these policies that they're putting out there.
	So, as you have so many people out there rejoicing over the fact that Trump has signed this executive order terminating all federal taxpayer benefits going to illegal aliens, that's what I've been saying for the longest time.
	And I said that when I first took the Nolan chart test.
	It was one thing that they would do with libertarian parties.
	They had a thing called Operation Homeless, Politically Homeless, where they'd go around to college campuses and they would ask people 10 questions about economic freedom and 10 questions about civil liberties.
	And so then they would take your answers and they would plot you on a two-dimensional chart, right?
	Instead of a single line, left and right, you would wind up with a square.
	You know, you do it as a graph.
	So you would, you know, get one to ten on one axis and one to ten on the other.
	They would turn it at a 45-degree angle so it looked like a diamond.
	And then at the very bottom, if you didn't...
	Agree with any freedoms for anybody.
	Well, that's the authoritarian segment right there.
	And then when you rotate it by 45 degrees, then that means that the people who would want to have economic freedom go over to the right and the people who wanted to have, you know, licentious freedom or whatever.
	Because it wasn't, it was usually about things that you could do that were prohibited.
	As opposed necessarily to free speech or things like that.
	So, you know, they would put these two things there.
	And then that would also mean that the libertarians were on top, which is the way that they liked to do it.
	So you would wind up a left-right center.
	You would have authoritarian where they didn't want to have any freedom down at the bottom.
	And so in these ten questions, one of them was having open borders.
	And I took exception to that because I said you can't have open borders as long as you've got a welfare state.
	Well, the Democrats knew that, because the Democrats, I found out later, had a couple of economists that were Democrats, Cloward and Piven, said, we thought that we could essentially reset society with a welfare state, but not enough people are buying into it that are Americans, so we can swap it if we open up the borders and put them all on welfare.
	So this has been around for a long time.
	And of course, it was around all through Trump's first four years, I complained about it.
	And you've heard me say about the welfare magnet.
	I said, you're not going to stop people with a wall when they know that coming across, they're going to be able to get all kinds of benefits.
	They can make more money if they work here, but they don't even have to work.
	They can go on welfare.
	They can go on the dole.
	And so I said, you've got to turn off that magnet because it's going to pull people under the wall, over the wall, through the wall.
	And so maybe this is going to happen.
	I don't know.
	Better late than never.
	I hope it does.
	He calls this executive order preserving federal benefits for American citizens.
	And it'll direct federal agencies and department heads to identify all federally funded programs that provide financial benefits to illegal aliens and for them to all take corrective action.
	Now, the reality is that it's already they're not supposed to be eligible for welfare programs.
	But, of course, Biden and Harris found loopholes for that.
	And the individuals who come here will also find loopholes.
	And if they're going to come here in violation of the immigration laws, do you think they care about violating welfare laws as well?
	So from a practical standpoint, the question is going to be, how is this going to be done?
	And what I've seen over and over again is that the Republican response to the open border problem that they've also had a lot to do with, the Republican response is always going to be to ID people.
	And I'm telling you that This is going to be a push to do digital ID. They've already done that in Florida and with DeSantis and others.
	They said, we're going to have mandatory, mandatory E-Verify.
	E-Verify has been around for a while.
	Employers didn't have to use it.
	But they said, we're going to make mandatory E-Verify, which means that you're going to mandate a digital ID. And so Republicans will use the back doors of, we've got to protect ourselves from these illegal aliens who are coming in and taking our jobs and coming in and taking our welfare.
	And so to do that, everybody's got to have an ID. And then they'll go further and say, now we need to have an ID to use the internet because otherwise kids are going to get involved with porn.
	And so we've got to be the parent for the kids.
	And that means that everybody's going to have a digital ID. This is, you know, it's a real problem.
	But pay attention.
	To what their solution is going to be.
	They said for the past four years, illegal aliens have been receiving welfare benefits from many different public assistance programs.
	This is a zero hedge.
	They get the food stamps, the SNAP program, child nutrition programs, temporary assistance for needy families, supplemental security income, child care development block grants, earned income.
	Tax credit, child tax credit, Obamacare premium tax credit, Obamacare cost-sharing subsidies, Medicare, Medicaid, Children's Health Insurance Program, Pell Grants, student loans, Head Start, public housing, coronavirus, state and local fiscal recovery fund, all the rest of the stuff.
	They didn't even mention the fact that they get in-state tuition in any state they wish to go to, whereas Americans can only get in-state tuition in the state in which their parents lived.
	And they talk about how much money it is.
	But beware of what their solution is going to be.
	Again, we're seeing problems identified.
	And these are problems that Republicans never cared to address before.
	Now they've got a solution for us, a digital ID. So be very, very careful of this.
	And they talk about how many billions of dollars that is there.
	In Colorado, there is a semi-automatic firearm ban that is going now to the House after being pushed.
	In the Senate, successfully, they had all the Democrats voted for it, so passed 19 to 15 to ban AR-15s.
	And Rocky Mountain Gun Owners is a group that is there, and it's interesting.
	I saw this, I didn't know he was with them now.
	Dudley Brown.
	Dudley was somebody that I worked for at one point in time, back in 2012. When the United Nations was trying to push through the arms trade treaty for small firearms.
	And remember, that was why they had the gunwalker program, which then turned into the Fast and Furious, and it blew up in their face because they had a federal agent that got killed.
	And so one week before this thing was scheduled at the UN, you had the Aurora Colorado thing, just outside of Denver, a massive hub of the CIA and everything.
	You had that suspicious shooting, which I've always believed was set up just one week before this happened at the UN. So we were up there.
	I was there with a family.
	Two boys and I were doing camera and things like that.
	Dudley Moore was interviewing people.
	And the biggest memory that we have of this thing was what a mess the traffic in New York City was.
	We could not find any place to park.
	And so Karen...
	Just circled the van.
	The whole time we were doing all of these interviews and everything, just kept driving around and around and around.
	You'll never forget that either, will you?
	The traffic was just unbelievable there.
	So Dudley Brown is trying to stop this, and he said the Colorado assault weapons ban went from bad to worse with a midnight Senate amendment.
	That turned it into a firearms owner ID card.
	This is why I put these things together, because again, we're talking about an ID card.
	Everything's got to be ID. An owner ID card.
	Colorado is trying to leapfrog California into being the most anti-gun state, and we're going to fight against it all the way through.
	Well, speaking of taking away people's guns, in Germany, The AFD, Alternative for Deutschland, Alternative for Germany, supporting lawyer, has been fined 3,000 euros for criticizing a couple of German government officials and has his gun license revoked.
	And he is a lawyer.
	He's 61 years old.
	He's been practicing all of his life.
	They report him to the bar.
	He may lose his license because he criticized a politician.
	What was it that he said?
	Well, he said...
	That two of them, he said the vice chancellor, three of them, the vice chancellor, the chancellor, and the foreign minister were malicious failures.
	Well, that's not, they said that was defamation.
	That's not defamation, that's definition.
	He defined what they are.
	They are malicious failures.
	And then they proved that they're malicious failures by taking away his free speech, taking away his gun license, and maybe taking away his law license.
	I actually know myself to be quite well within the red lines, he said.
	You have to formulate things pointedly to be heard.
	The lines of freedom of opinion have slipped with the red-green government.
	By that he means the Coalition of Social Democrats and Greens.
	You know, by the way, I've always called these Marxists, these commies, watermelon environmentalists, the Greens.
	They're watermelon Marxists, I should say.
	They've got a thin veneer of green on the outside and on the inside.
	They're all red, which has always been the color of communism.
	I know that they told Republicans that they're red.
	So they're, oh, okay, we're red now?
	Okay, we'll be red.
	Republicans and conservatives use this as a better dead than red, but now they want to be red.
	Now they're red states.
	They're red to everything.
	So anyway, they'll fall for anything.
	He further described his hefty fine as, quote, a scandal for freedom of expression.
	And so, the 2021 law that he supposedly violated criminalizes insults against politicians if it significantly hinders their public work.
	You mean like causing them to lose an election?
	That's basically what it is.
	And it's the Greens.
	I told you there's two Green politicians in Germany.
	Each of them have filed about 800 complaints, most of them nonsense.
	But anytime anybody says anything, the slightest negative about them on social media, they file a complaint with the police.
	And as you saw in 60 Minutes, they're bragging about how they're locking people up for speech.
	The penalty order claimed that a state must portray politicians as corrupt, stupid, and arrogant.
	That's about right.
	I won't last long with these kind of laws.
	UK Labour MP is pushing for a digital ID. And when they said, well, what about privacy?
	And he says, I couldn't give a monkey's blank about that.
	Well, you know, it's right there in your face.
	They brag about it.
	Just like they did on 60 Minutes.
	By the way, with all this that's happening, it appears that the only hope, if there is any hope for the British, is the Reform Party.
	Nigel Farage and the Reform Party now, the latest poll, they are the most popular of the parties.
	People see what the conservatives have done.
	The conservatives betrayed them with this green watermelon Marxism.
	And the Labor Party is openly saying that they want to de-industrialize Britain.
	Well, I think they've already done it.
	They've closed down the last steel plants and coal plants and power plants and all the rest of this stuff.
	They want to de-industrialize.
	He said we need to re-industrialize Britain.
	So we'll see what happens with that.
	that.
	We're going to take a quick break and we will be right back.
	Thank you.
	We hope that there might be peace in Ukraine.
	Good chance that it will, but I said, what about...
	Israel.
	Are we going to wind up, you know, we used Ukraine as our proxy for a war against Russia with the Democrats there, but are we going to be used in Israel's war with Iran?
	And that's what Freethought Project said as well.
	They put up this yesterday.
	Giving peace a chance in Ukraine is good, so why not Gaza too?
	And both Whistler and Karen...
	I said yesterday, I think you're a little bit too rough on Trump.
	You need to give him some credit for the peace thing.
	I said, well, I will when it happens.
	But I said, I'll also see what they're doing in Israel.
	So, you know, there's different agendas that are there.
	And I don't cheer any politician.
	I cheer what they do, not what they promise, not what they say they're going to do, but what they actually do if they do the right thing.
	And, again, I've been around following this stuff too long.
	I'm too cynical about this stuff because I don't believe a thing any of these people say.
	And you shouldn't either.
	Anyway, Trump promised to end the war in Ukraine if re-elected.
	And February the 12th, he started to make good on that promise by holding a 90-minute call with Putin that Biden had refused to talk to since the war began.
	At the same time, Pete Hegseth unveiled Trump's new policy.
	In more detail, at a meeting of the Ukraine defense contract group at NATO headquarters, said the bloodshed must stop, this war must end.
	But then, of course, he had to walk that back after the EU reaction to this kind of stuff.
	And as I said, there's been a backlash, not just from the EU, not just from NATO members, but also from Republican war hawks.
	While the Democrats who've been united as the party of war when it comes to Ukraine will likely try to sabotage Trump's efforts.
	On both sides of the Atlantic, Trump's peace initiative is a game-changer, a chance for peace in the U.S. His allies should embrace it even as they work out their respective responsibilities.
	He said those of us who are anxious to see peace in Ukraine should applaud Trump's initiative, but we should also highlight the glaring contradictions of a president who finds the killing in Ukraine unacceptable but fully supports genocide in Palestine.
	That's the point, folks.
	Are we going to jump out of...
	One frying pan into another frying pan.
	And he is absolutely wrong on the Gaza issue.
	But Mark Levin, who is very consistent for killing people, he wants to kill people in Palestine, he wants to kill people in Ukraine.
	Mark Levin is furious with Trump.
	And he was all, just to remind you, in 2016, when Trump was saying the right things before he became president, Mark Levin was a never-Trumper, and openly so.
	And so now he says that this policy in Ukraine is, it's sick and it's un-American, says Mark Levin.
	And so this is being reported by Mediaite, which is also pro-war.
	See, he's a statist.
	Mark Levin is a statist, and the people at Fox News are warmongering statists.
	Many of them.
	Most of them.
	And they'll kill you with a vaccine as well because they're paid by the pharmaceutical companies.
	They're paid by the military-industrial complex.
	On his radio show, Mark Levin delivered a history lesson on Putin's rise to power and various crimes while going to bat for Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, who I would call Voldemort Zelensky, the guy who wants a nuclear war.
	You going to defend that?
	See, this is the game that everybody plays.
	You have, whenever you've got, you know, fraud, let's go back to the Hunter Biden thing, okay?
	So the Republicans will look at what Hunter Biden is doing.
	But, you know, when Trump or some Republican does it, they'll defend it.
	Well, look at Hunter Biden was even worse.
	That's the kind of logic.
	That he's put, yeah, okay, you know, Zelensky stole hundreds of billions of dollars from us, and, you know, he wants to try to drag us into a nuclear war, and he's got no chance of winning, but, you know, hey, he's not as bad as Putin.
	And this is what you always hear.
	You hear this from the Republicans defending their own.
	You hear it from the Democrats defending their own.
	Oh, yeah, you know, Biden may be a rascal, but he's not as bad as Trump, say the Democrats.
	And then you hear the opposite from the Republicans.
	No.
	If somebody's a rat, call them a rat.
	It doesn't matter if they're wearing your team colors.
	And so he ran through his history lesson and Levin played a clip in which his Fox News colleagues, Martha McCallum and Jack Keene, pushed back on Trump before he dived into the issue himself.
	Now, I don't have a problem if it's a position of an administration to cut back on the support for Ukraine, which I oppose, by the way, he said.
	Then so be it.
	Elections have consequences.
	So be it.
	But I want to make sure that the facts are on the table.
	And you, the American people, draw your own conclusion.
	Because MAGA doesn't support Putin.
	And then he tries to defend Zelensky's martial law.
	And what he says, well, that's what the Constitution, they're compelled.
	No, it doesn't, Mark.
	You're lying again.
	Lying Levin.
	I looked it up, actually.
	I'm sure the people who listen to Mark Levin aren't going to look it up.
	I looked at it, I said, no, wait a minute.
	Constitution compels martial law whenever there's a war?
	No.
	It allows it, but it doesn't compel it.
	Now, Mark Levin is a lawyer.
	He knows the difference between allow and compel.
	You should understand the difference, too.
	And you should understand the difference between Mark Levin and a rational person.
	Mark Levin's book, On the Liberty Amendments is an abomination.
	This guy doesn't support our Constitution.
	But he's out there arguing that the Constitution in Ukraine compels martial law and no elections.
	He wants to have a Constitutional Convention.
	He's a very dangerous person.
	But he is consistent.
	Consistently wrong.
	And so he says, I'm waiting for the first free election for Vladimir Putin.
	I'm not defending Putin either.
	I'm just saying, stop killing Ukrainians for your little lions on the map, okay?
	Just grow up, you warmongering idiot.
	So he said, again, they always cheer for their guy.
	But, you know, the interesting thing about the Constitution, not only does it not compel that martial law whenever there's war, but it also was changed in 2014. What was it that happened in 2014?
	Did Mark Levin give you the history of 2014, where the Democrats orchestrated a coup because NATO wanted to do the domino thing against Russia?
	By the way, John Kiriakou had a great clip.
	He says, we need to just abolish the CIA. Wouldn't it be nice if the Trump administration would do that?
	Of course, the Trump administration...
	He blew the whistle, John Kuryaku did, on the torture that produced the lies that drug us into the Iraq War, the lies about weapons of mass destruction.
	But the woman who presided over the torture, who presided over the cover-up, Trump put her in as head of the CIA. So here's John Kuryaku, who actually went to jail for exposing the lies of weapons of mass destruction.
	He says we need to abolish the CIA. There's so much redundancy in intelligence.
	The Pentagon has an organization called Defense Human Services.
	Human meaning...
	Human intelligence.
	They recruit spies to steal secrets.
	Well, guess what?
	That's exactly what the CIA does.
	So you've got DOD doing the same thing.
	You've got the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research and the Defense Department's Defense Intelligence Agency doing analysis.
	Exactly what the CIA's Directorate of Intelligence does.
	You have NSA that's doing all of the intercepts.
	You've got DARPA that's doing all the futuristic, cool, scientific inventions.
	You have myriad organizations that are doing simpler things.
	Things like bugs or disguises or forgeries or, you know, any of the stuff that a CIA officer needs to do on a day-to-day basis.
	So when you've got multiple organizations all doing exactly the same thing, isn't that kind of a waste of money and manpower?
	And secondly, the CIA has gotten literally every major global development wrong since 1947. From the creation of the Berlin Wall, through the Suez Crisis, through the Vietnam War, All of the Iranian government and the loss of the Shah of Iran, Iran-Contra, and missing 9-11, and everything in between, they just got it wrong.
	So why would we even want to keep going?
	This gigantic, multi-billion dollar organization that doesn't really provide anything to the national security.
	I worked for Ambassador John Negroponte when I was at the United Nations in New York more than 20 years ago.
	He later went on to become the Director of National And as the ambassador to the UN, he was in a quasi-cabinet level position.
	And so he was allowed to receive a PDB briefing every day.
	And he once told me not one single time did the president's daily brief tell him something that the Washington Post and the New York Times didn't tell him an hour earlier.
	Do we really need it?
	As a matter of fact, I've been in the Pentagon.
	I had a friend who worked there.
	And, you know, where they got their information.
	CNN. Every place that we went, they had a CNN monitor there.
	They were religiously following CNN. I was like, we're in big trouble.
	So let's talk a little bit about tariffs.
	Tariffs could shock America's power system.
	This is from the Wall Street Journal.
	It said, the transformers that are used in power grids are especially vulnerable to trade disruptions.
	Look, this is the whole point.
	How do we get from one system to the other?
	And, you know, the fact is that we've been on, it's kind of like, you know, trying to get off of an addiction to alcoholism or to heroin or to SSRIs.
	You know, same thing with that.
	If you get off of the SSRIs too quickly, a lot of people have situations where it's making their, feels like their body is on fire or something, so they just stop it.
	And the next thing you know, they commit suicide or they do murder-suicide of their own family members.
	So, you know, how do we get off of this bad system of globalism?
	We have to do it very carefully.
	We can't just rip it, you know, and go in the other direction.
	That's the issue.
	It's going to be incredibly disruptive and chaotic, but I think that's what Trump is there for.
	I think that's why he was put in place.
	America's power grid is due for some big investments.
	And remember, when Trump was talking about the power grid, he goes, It's really old.
	It's not reliable.
	You need to build your power stations right next to your plants and your AI facilities.
	You need to build your own power thing because we're not going to do anything to fix the infrastructure for the little people, right?
	That's what he was essentially saying.
	So America's power grid is due for some big investments as surging power demand from places like data centers is set to strain the system.
	Transformers, the nuts and bolts of the power system, look particularly vulnerable.
	And this is one of the things we've always talked about with an EMP. If you have an EMP, it's going to blow those transformers.
	And guess what?
	There's only a couple of places that they're built in Germany and other places like that.
	And they don't keep them in stock.
	There's a really long lead time.
	So if you blow out a whole bunch of these things, you're going to be in the dark.
	As far as the power grid goes for a long time.
	And Trump seems to be aware of that, isn't concerned about it.
	He's just telling everybody, hey, do your own power plant.
	Forget about this thing.
	New ones are also required every time a new source of electricity, whether it's wind, solar, or natural gas is connected to the grid.
	So the lack of these things is going to be a big issue.
	And the cost of them is going to be a big issue.
	Meanwhile, we've got the IRS firing 6,000 workers.
	As Trump is slashing government.
	Now, you've heard me complain over and over again about the 80,000 new IRS employees and the $80 billion that Biden wanted to add to it.
	And, of course, he got the support of Mike Johnson, who gave him everything he wanted.
	I mean, even McCarthy.
	Kevin McCarthy was going to cut it back.
	But when he got moved out and Mike Johnson got put in, Mike Johnson said, yeah, we'll do all of it.
	And so that's my question.
	What's the status of that situation?
	Now, the IRS, and you have all this hand-wringing by mainstream media saying, here it is, it's tax time, and they're going to fire 6,000 employees.
	This is in the midst of a critical tax filing season.
	It's 6% of the agency's workforce.
	Well, the agency has added way more than 6,000.
	They've been in a hiring binge last year.
	So a lot of this is fake.
	This is 6% off of the massive increase that they just had in the last few months, especially over the last year or two since they put this stuff in.
	Actually, it wasn't last year or two, but they've been adding this consistently.
	So, the bottom line is, do they care about the deficit?
	The Democrats don't.
	They've got modern monetary theory.
	Trump doesn't care.
	He wanted to extend the debt ceiling.
	No debt ceiling for two years.
	Absolutely no debt ceiling.
	What is really going on with this?
	And you have Howard Lucky Lutnik, who didn't show up on 9-11.
	Let the rest of the people in his office die.
	He was tipped off about this stuff.
	But he's going on media selling this myth to people like Jesse Waters, who just sits there and grins, that they're going to abolish the income tax and the IRS. Now, I used to...
	I used to talk about that back in the 80s and 90s when I would talk to press people when I was working with the Libertarian Party, when I was running for office, and they were like, come on.
	You can't abolish the income tax in the IRS. We would all die if we didn't have an income tax and all the rest of the stuff.
	I mean, just like that.
	Get serious.
	You guys are not serious if you're talking about abolishing the income tax.
	So I'm glad that they're talking about it.
	And it is kind of interesting to see how far we have come toward it.
	But will they actually do it?
	Now, if they're actually going to abolish the IRS, so why is it that Trump lowered the income tax to 15%, which is, he can't go lower than that, according to the G7. They said nobody can go below 15. Okay, I'll do that.
	And he's bragging about how he's going to lower the income tax, but he's going to keep it.
	He's bragging about how he's not going to charge taxes to waitresses, but he's going to keep the income tax then.
	And so CNN says nobody wants to pay it, but, you know, you have death in taxes, they're here.
	So we said, well, maybe not, according to Howard Lutnick.
	And so Howard Lutnick is still selling this idea that I think is a bunch of false hopium to the MAGA people.
	Well, think about it.
	Donald Trump announces the External Revenue Service, and his goal is very simple.
	To abolish, his goal is to abolish the Internal Revenue Service and let all the outsiders pay his goal.
	I mean, this is someone who is focused on America.
	Let's drive down our waste, fought and abuse.
	I'll give you an example.
	Cruise ships.
	You ever see a cruise ship with an American flag on the back?
	They have flags of, like, Liberia or Panama.
	None of them pay taxes.
	None of them pay taxes.
	Every supertanker, none pays taxes.
	Alcohol, all foreign alcohol, no taxes.
	This is going to end under Donald Trump, and those taxes are going to be paid, and Americans' tax rates are going to come down.
	That's what Donald Trump wants to do.
	Balance our budget and cut our taxes.
	I mean, imagine a Democratic senator going against that.
	What planet are these people on?
	Yeah, I can't imagine a Democrat going against raising taxes.
	Because that's what tariffs are, they're raising taxes.
	And look, this is the same kind of demagoguery that Democrats always engage in.
	Of course, Lutnik is a Democrat.
	Trump is a Democrat.
	Always was.
	And they're using the same kind of Democrat demagoguery to tell you, we're going to raise taxes, but you're not going to pay them.
	Somebody else is going to pay them.
	And it's only fair that they pay the taxes because they're going on these luxury cruises and they don't pay any taxes.
	We've got to tax these people.
	So it's that kind of demagoguery.
	Well, we're going to take a quick break, and Gerald Slenty is going to be joining us.
	And I want to get his take on this as well as, like I said, everything is moving very, very quickly.
	And so with a two-week period here, there's a lot to talk about when we get Gerald Slenty back on.
	So we're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back.
	Stay with us.
	Thank you.
	Making sense.
	Common again.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	All right, welcome back, and joining us now is Gerald Salente.
	I just asked him how he's doing.
	He broke his ankle, just like Karen.
	What happened, Gerald?
	You know, I run short distances to stay in shape, and it was snowing out, and I was running from one place to another, and there was ice under the snow, and I went down on it about two weeks ago.
	Oh, wow.
	I hear that.
	Yeah, Karen went rolling down a hill.
	She twisted her knee and she had a cinder block that she was trying to move that was stuck in the ice and it gave way.
	She went rolling down a hill along with a cinder block that was hitting her a little.
	But I sure hope you get better.
	Yeah.
	It's a bad time.
	And you've got a lot of ice up there.
	I imagine it's pretty cold.
	It's been pretty cold down here as well.
	Well, let's talk a little bit about tariffs and other things.
	Pick up where I left off.
	I was just talking about, you know, Lucky Lutnik telling us that they're going to get rid of the income tax.
	Do you believe they're going to get rid of the income tax?
	You know, if Trump says about the tariffs to do the tariffs because when they had tariffs, we didn't have income tax.
	And that slime ball made rotten hell.
	Woodrow Wilson, and I say making rotten hell because that's the SOB that brought us into World War I. Yeah.
	We had no business getting into.
	I'm a Yankee doodle dandy, a Yankee doodle do a die.
	Yeah.
	And he gave us the Federal Reserve, and he gave us federal income tax in the IRS. Yeah.
	So Trump is saying with these tariffs, Like they had when McKinley was president before, that the money that came in from the tariffs, we didn't have income tax.
	So if he lives by his word, yeah, great.
	But again, you know, Trump speaks out of both sides of his mouth, so you never know.
	Listen, when I get elected, the first day I'm on, the first day, I'm going to put a 25% tariff on Mexico and China.
	He gets into office.
	Well, I'm going to wait two weeks.
	All right, two weeks go by.
	I put the tariffs on February 1st.
	It got sung.
	You took them off on February 3rd.
	I remember Zero Hedge had an article that the shortest, I survived the trade war of 2025, February 3rd to February 4th or something like that, right?
	Yeah.
	A t-shirt.
	So, you don't know what he's going to do, but if he says it, and I have to tell you, as much as I can't stand him, He's done more positive things than Biden did during his administration, and here's number one.
	Biden never did a single positive thing.
	I think probably.
	As long as he did one positive thing, that's good.
	The Ukraine war.
	Trump was president.
	We would not have given Ukraine.
	The numbers that I see are about $300 billion.
	Under the Trump administration, we would have done that.
	I don't either.
	I don't either.
	So, that to me is a positive, him trying to end the war.
	On the negative, let's steal that land from Gaza and make it a Riviera.
	And his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, we wrote in the Trends Journal back last year, right about this time.
	He said that that's very valuable waterfront property, and we should move the Palestinians, this is a quote, out of Gaza and put them into the Negev Desert.
	So I can't stand Trump's pro-Zionist and sending, oh, talking about, and again, these guys speak out of both sides of their mouth.
	How about that, how about that daddy, another daddy's boy, by the way, RFK Jr. We have to end that war in Ukraine.
	It's terrible what we're doing.
	Giving the bombs to kill people.
	They got sown.
	But you're in favor of slaughtering the people over in Israel, aren't you?
	Aren't you?
	And that's why I got my money back.
	I gave him $6,200.
	$6,200 when he was running for president.
	And I had you here.
	What's his name?
	Dennis Kucinich, his campaign manager, one of my speakers at my...
	Occupy Peace Rally.
	They talk out of both sides of their mouth.
	But again, on the positives...
	You know, as I was listening to you, yeah, Trump made a big deal about cutting, what, 6,000 IRS, but where they still got, they put 80,000 more guys in there or something?
	Yeah.
	So what, do nothing with 6,000 cutting back?
	Yeah, 6,000 is less than they hired in just the last, you know, half of last year.
	So, you know, again, they play these games.
	And what I'm concerned about with the IRS, Gerald, is that, you know, Elon Musk has said we're going to minimize government.
	But we're going to maximize governance is basically what he's talking about.
	And so what I'm concerned about is that they're going to get rid of a lot of the IRS agents and replace them with AI machines that can audit everybody all the time.
	I think that's where we're headed.
	Maximum governance.
	You're 100% right.
	I never thought of that.
	You are 100% correct.
	Yeah, and that's what concerns me.
	What does their new system look like?
	And I think it is going to be right down our throats everywhere we turn.
	Even if he goes through with it.
	Here's to make it 1,000% clear.
	When Trump was president, and by the way, he's only interested in the rich.
	You look at the cover of this week's magazine.
	We got, what's his name up there?
	Musk sitting on a throne, you know.
	And the slaves under him.
	You know, money is power.
	Everybody else shut your mouth.
	That's right.
	Look at all the billionaires he got in there.
	So let's go to Trump's BS about taxes and everything.
	All he cares about are the big corporations.
	By the facts.
	Let's go back to 2017 when he was president.
	I'm cutting them income tax on those corporations.
	Bring them down to 15%.
	And you know what these corporations are going to do?
	When we cut those taxes, they're going to create jobs because they're going to take that money and use it for capital improvements.
	Hey, what happened in 2018?
	They took that money and it was the biggest year ever of stock buybacks.
	I remember when you predicted that.
	You predicted that in 2017 when you're on the program.
	You're talking about, you know, look at this is just going to be the big guys, and that's exactly what they're going to do, and you were exactly right.
	And that's what they did do.
	All of it was for the big guys, and they didn't do anything productive with it.
	They just bought back their stock.
	You know, people are, by the way, I'm getting blacklisted.
	People are leaving me because they don't like that I raise my voice.
	And they don't like my language.
	Oh, you're beating the hell out of me!
	You're stealing all my money!
	Oh, don't you be angry, Salenti!
	You're still in kindergarten!
	You listen to your teachers!
	You gotta swallow the crap spewing out of Musk's mouth!
	He's the richest man in the world!
	That means that he knows the answers to everything, right?
	That's it!
	You're just a stupid little wop!
	From the Bronx.
	He knows how to find his way around government.
	That's his superpower.
	You know, he's been able to make this, become the world's richest man, history's richest man, by, you know, slithering through the halls of Congress and other foreign governments and getting everything that he wants from them.
	And now we've never seen anything like this.
	I mean, he's even, you know, he owns the Oval Office.
	And no doubt about it.
	Look, it's right in front of everybody.
	He gave Trump almost $300 million, his campaign.
	I want everybody, I say this over and over again, shut your damn mouth.
	You as an American citizen have absolutely no right to question the government.
	You have no right to talk to any politician unless you put up a lot of money.
	So shut your mouth.
	Oh, by the way, as an Italian, there used to be a guy by the name of Mussolini.
	Yeah, the merger of state and corporate powers.
	Fascism.
	That's his quote.
	And that's what we got in front of everybody's eyes who aren't too blind to see.
	Did you see what his son, little X, he calls his son X. Did you see what his son said to Trump?
	He said, shut up.
	You need to get out of here.
	You're not president.
	It's like, where did he hear that from?
	And I gotta see this little stupid kid on his shoulders?
	There was a meme, Gerald, that somebody put up.
	So they got Trump sitting at the desk, and they've got Musk standing next to it with a kid on his shoulders.
	And what they did was they photoshopped Eric Trump sitting on Donald Trump's shoulders.
	It's one of the funniest things I've seen.
	But yeah, it's pretty ridiculous.
	They're going to bring my son with me to work.
	Here we go.
	And yeah, it was pretty amazing.
	But I thought that kid was really something else.
	He needs a woodshed treatment big time.
	But we're going to hear all that stuff.
	You're not president.
	Shut up.
	Get out of here.
	And I was just repeating what he's heard daddy say.
	Again, as George Carlin used to say, it's one big club and you ain't in it.
	And when you look at all these little clown boys and girls, look how many of them come from...
	Remember that little scum piece of crap?
	Anthony Blinken?
	That little gutless little clown?
	Oh, that was Secretary of State?
	I went to Dalton.
	I went to Harvard.
	My daddy was the ambassador to Hungary.
	My uncle was the ambassador to Belgium.
	Hey, how about little Georgie Bush?
	A guy with a pair of cojones smaller than a mothball and a brain the size of a pea.
	Why, my daddy was George Bush, don't you?
	My grandfather was Prescott Bush.
	Oh, a criminal.
	Oh, I got that little clown jerk that's now running for mayor in New York.
	Andy Cuomo.
	My daddy was Mario Cuomo.
	I was the governor.
	We're renaming the Tappancy Bridge after my daddy.
	All right?
	Yeah.
	And now, so going back to Musk, his kids are going to be the same kind of arrogant pieces of scum like he is.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah.
	They got all this money.
	You are a nobody.
	That's right.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, his kid's going to be one of the richest men in the world.
	Just watch what happens with all of that stuff.
	And of course, several generations of Musk, I talked about this earlier in the week, his grandfather was one of the key people in the technocracy movement in the 1930s.
	He had criminal charges brought against him in Canada for all of that.
	But, you know, looking at this, and again, you and I agree, I've always said...
	The income tax is one of the worst ways to collect taxes, right?
	It's very intrusive.
	It can be weaponized easily against people and all these other things and very cumbersome to deal with.
	And so there's been many, many, many different types of reforms.
	People talked about flat tax, a fair tax, and on and on.
	But always in the past, the conservatives would say, but we're going to wind up with both of them.
	And they would kind of push back.
	Now with Trump, no problem.
	We're not going to end up with both of them.
	But I think we're going to end up with both of them.
	You know, Trump doesn't want to go below a, he sets 15%.
	And isn't it coincidental?
	That they had a globalist agreement under Biden that nobody's going to go below 15% on corporate income tax.
	He's going to do what his masters tell him to do.
	He's not anti-globalist.
	He's going to go along with them on all the rest of this stuff.
	And so I think we're going to wind up with both of these things.
	That's my concern about it.
	And I think he's going to go rapidly into this.
	And I see it as kind of like somebody trying to get off of a drug that they're hooked on.
	We've been on this open borders, open trade, and we've got a distributed supply chain that's distributed across all the different borders.
	And my concern is what happens economically when you hit that with a really fast change.
	Is that a concern of yours?
	What do you think is going to happen with this happening all at once?
	It's a guessing game.
	I do the top trends every year.
	I've been at this 45 years.
	You know my books.
	Trends 2000, international bestseller, trend tracking, far better than Megatrends, Time Magazine.
	I've been publishing the Trends Journal since 1991. Never before have one of my top trends been wildcard.
	It's a wildcard.
	And that's the Trump card.
	Oh, by the way, he called himself a king.
	When we put the top trends out, January 2nd, we have the Trump card and we have him dressed up with a crown, the king.
	It's a guessing game.
	This guy, you don't know what he's going to do.
	he's only going to do it for himself and those that support him.
	So you don't know.
	You just don't know.
	The game's going to keep changing and changing and changing and changing.
	They'll say one thing, do another thing.
	They'll say some things and do those things.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Let me ask you then about the Ukraine stuff.
	Because, you know, it's the...
	He came out and Pete Hegseth had a very clear statement.
	Somebody had written up for him.
	He's not making this up.
	You know, he's somebody who reads a teleprompter and he's got a script in front of him.
	And he says, you know, we're going to have peace and it's going to be patrolled not by U.S. troops and there's not going to be any NATO membership for Ukraine and on and on.
	And then Trump kind of seconds that.
	And then all of the EU has a fit.
	As a matter of fact, one of the headlines that I saw from Rachel Marsden on RT said, Trump hits the ejector seat and the EU is left screaming in the backseat.
	That's kind of what has happened.
	So they're screaming in the backseat, you know, because he was driving.
	They weren't driving.
	The U.S. was driving, I should say.
	And so they're screaming in the backseat, and then they kind of pull this thing back.
	And they said, well, no, Pete Hegseth spoke too soon.
	And so Pete Hegseth comes back and says, yeah, I didn't know.
	Somebody wrote that up for him.
	That was their policy.
	And they modified that.
	So what do you think is going to happen?
	I agree that, you know, that we would not have had the Russian war.
	If it had been Trump in the second term, I said when he was running for re-election in 2020, I said, if Trump wins, if Biden wins, it's going to be war with Russia.
	If Trump wins, we'll have some kind of a war, maybe trade war, maybe more with China.
	And so I always felt it was going to go that way.
	And now I believe that he wants to try to normalize that thing.
	Will he stick to it?
	What do you think is going to happen with that?
	I think he will.
	I really do.
	And you ask what's happening.
	Denmark's arm spending rises 70%.
	Denmark?
	How many people live there?
	You're putting all these countries, putting money...
	So they were spending a million dollars last year, now they're going to spend 1.7, right?
	Yeah, I mean, you're close to it.
	Five billion, five billion in the annual defense budget is going to go up to 7 billion.
	You're wasting this damn money.
	Oh, you're going to fight Russia?
	The mouse that roared, right?
	Or the mouth that roared.
	Yeah.
	I mean, so this is a stupidity.
	Again, look at the jerks running the world.
	I mean, you like that little Cazzo Macron, you know, that little jerk over there at Nothing, that little Starmer clown over there in the UK, that before him Boris Johnson, that the best cartoonist in the world, could not come up with a freaky...
	Yeah.
	So, you know, it's...
	And by the way, when people say about me not being...
	I'm angry, he who is not angry...
	When there is just cause for anger is immoral.
	Why?
	Because anger looks to the good of justice.
	And if you can live amid injustice without anger, you are immoral as well as unjust.
	And that's according to Thomas Aquinas.
	I agree with that.
	I agree 100%.
	And again, I'm from a different generation in a different place.
	I'm born in 1946 in the Bronx.
	You're free to be.
	Don't tell me who to be.
	I won't tell you.
	Don't tell me.
	And don't tell me what to do.
	You got it?
	Oh, how dare you say that, Salenti?
	When your politician tells you something to do, you do it.
	Now, you put on that mask.
	Stand six feet apart.
	The wind blows exactly in straight lines in six feet.
	Remember that?
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah.
	And when you go to a restaurant, you better wear that mask, as you well know, because you got thrown out.
	But when you sit down, you can take that mask off, and you can eat without that mask on, because COVID knows when you're eating and drinking, and it's not going to bother you.
	I'm the politician.
	I'll tell you what to do.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Oh, it was crazy.
	And that's another thing, by the way.
	I want to make this really clear.
	The damage that this COVID war has done is incalculable.
	Economically, physically, mentally, and spiritually.
	The damage that it has caused, we're going to see there's a global economic crisis at our doorstep.
	I agree.
	I agree.
	And, of course, that was all...
	Run out by Trump.
	And nobody wants to remember any of that stuff.
	That's why I look at every one of these things.
	He's done a lot of things that I said, you know, I would love to see them stop paying foreign citizens who come here illegally on welfare.
	You know, I said it's a big welfare magnet.
	So no matter what you do, if you don't stop that welfare magnet.
	So he's talking about doing some of this stuff.
	But the devil is going to be in the details of all this stuff, whether you're talking about the IRS or how the tax system is going to be changed and everything.
	The constant that is here is what you're talking about, the wild card.
	Not knowing what he's going to do.
	The chaos that's going to be happening with rapid changes.
	And then my big concern, as you pointed out on the magazine cover this week, my big concern is Elon Musk.
	What is this guy up to?
	And I think that he's in the midst of creating a massive army of sycophants around him, just like Donald Trump did.
	He saw how Donald Trump played these people, and he's doing it in an even bigger way.
	And I'm very concerned about what's going on with Doge when they're going through it.
	It's great that they're uncovering all of this.
	It's fraud.
	And we're seeing stuff, you know, like Stacey Abrams, you know, they dumped a massive amount of money to some organization that she had.
	I understand, you know, the government is completely corrupt.
	They've never had this kind of detailed auditing, which I agree with.
	But the question then becomes, what is he going to do with it?
	And how is he setting himself up for more and more power?
	Everybody's worshiping him over Twitter as if he saved free speech, and you don't have free speech on Twitter.
	But, you know, this is the way he's playing the crowd that follows Trump, and they just idolize somebody if they're a billionaire.
	They think they know everything.
	It's amazing.
	I know.
	That's what I said.
	I said, if you're not a billionaire, shut your mouth.
	You have no right to talk to the president or to do anything.
	Yeah.
	And again, you know, this must crap, look at all the money he's making from the government.
	Yeah, some of his critics have said, well, hey, you want to save a lot of money?
	Audit yourself.
	Yeah.
	The biggest crony capitalist of them all.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	That's amazing.
	You know, by the way, when I talk about COVID and the damage, and we've been writing about this for years.
	It's five years.
	Now, here.
	This is from yesterday's Financial Times.
	Indonesia hampered by shrinking middle class.
	And they go on to say, economists said a decline had been triggered by a lack of formal employment, a shortage of investment in high-income industries.
	And pressures that have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
	No, no.
	Not pressures that have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
	By the politicians that closed down the countries around the world to fight the COVID war.
	And that was their language, calling it a war.
	That's right.
	That's right.
	And then you go back to Trump.
	He bragged about the Operation Warp Speed gene therapy inoculation.
	He gave us, as you well know, we talked about this many times.
	It was, what, March 13th, Black Friday, 2020, when he called a state of emergency.
	And you go back when the presidential race to the White House, Biden and Kamala Harris made fun...
	Of the vaccination saying that Trump pushed this through fast so he could get elected.
	And then when they came in, they pushed it even harder.
	That's right.
	I mean, it's a clown show, freak show, and the freaks are running the show.
	Well, it's professional wrestling and it's a tag team that they're doing it.
	I called it the GCI, the genetic code injection.
	And what do we see Trump do on like his second day in office?
	He brings in Larry Ellison and they talk about how they're going to have AI custom make an mRNA injection to cure you of cancer.
	It's like, come on.
	And then you've got, you know, the insanity that we had in 2020 with all the masks and the social distancing and all the rest of this stuff.
	That is no more crazy, I should say, than the bird flu nonsense that's happening now.
	And you talked about how, well, COVID did this and COVID did that.
	All of these press releases saying, yeah, we don't have any eggs on the shelves and the ones that we got are twice as expensive as the ones in Mexico and maybe twice as expensive as we were a couple of years ago.
	But it's the bird flu that did it to us.
	No, it's the USDA that's killing all the birds.
	And it makes absolutely no sense either.
	Even if you follow their paradigm to go out and kill all the healthy birds on a farm.
	When you get one PCR test, that's beyond insane, and yet the Trump administration is going to go down this path.
	Immediately as this woman, Brooke Rollins, gets appointed to the USDA, she immediately says, well, we're going to approve a vaccine, and I can do that through the USDA. So she's the agricultural secretary.
	So they approve a vaccine for all the animals, and they're going to do this for all the animals.
	They're going to vaccinate us through our food because they can't get it in our arms anymore.
	What do you think about that?
	What do you think about this bird flu thing?
	I mean, to me, that seems like that's where they're going.
	They're going for vaccines for every cow, chicken, duck, and pig that you can find, and they can do that to them every year.
	I mean, it's a big profit center.
	I don't know.
	Again, it's a freak show.
	You were talking before we went on air about gold.
	As you all know, 2024, one of our top trends was...
	It would be a golden year for gold.
	Gold prices went up last year 25%.
	As we're speaking, gold prices went up nearly 12% already this year.
	Now I'm going to be saying something here that very few people know about, care about, or understand.
	But it's very important because we can see gold prices which are now around and went right on the air was about what?
	About $2,929 an ounce.
	It was up to $2,955 a couple of days ago.
	It went down a bit.
	I was a kid, like 17, 18 years old.
	And my father one day said to me, you know, he said, I remember when I was dating your mother.
	My parents got married, may they rest in peace, in 1934. He said, I go over to your grandfather's house, and your grandfather's wrapping up all the gold coins he had.
	I said to him, Pop, I said, what are you doing there?
	So my grandfather told my father, he said, the President of the United States wants our gold money, and we have to help America.
	This is the Great Depression going on.
	I wrote in one of my books, What Zinzi Gave Honey Boy, Schu's story about love, wisdom, and the soul of America.
	Here it is.
	This one, of everything I've written, is my favorite.
	My grandfather was so proud to have come from Italy that he used to be the first person online on voting day.
	So he turns in all the gold.
	My father said he started cursing at him.
	My father said, don't turn it in.
	What are you, crazy?
	He said, don't give it to them.
	And he said, your grandfather started cursing at me like crazy.
	That's all he told me.
	And I never forgot that.
	Now, this is very important.
	When my grandfather turned to golden in 1933, they gave them back $20.67 an ounce for each ounce of gold.
	A year later, he passed the gold Reserve Act of 1934. And what did they do?
	They raised the price of gold to $35 an ounce.
	In other words, they increased it 70% after they stole it from the people.
	Now, Musk and Trump are talking about, let's go into Fort Knox and see if the gold is there.
	And then it got that other arrogant little piece of scum, that minutiae that used to be what?
	Was he the Treasury Secretary or something under Trump the last time around?
	He said, I went into the Fort Knox and it was all there.
	This is a Mnuchin who had a company, I forgot what it was, out in California that when the people lost all their homes, he made sure they really got everything, they could screw them out of everything.
	Oh, that Mnuchin.
	Yeah.
	When they gave him the $1,000 STEMI check and they said, well, we need to do another round of that.
	He goes, oh, they don't need that yet.
	Lock everybody down.
	Yeah, that guy.
	I know Steve Mnuchin.
	Yeah.
	So he said, I saw the gold.
	And I said, how come I can't see the gold?
	I'm an American citizen.
	Show me the gold.
	Shut the hell up, Solente.
	You have no rights.
	You're not a billionaire.
	You're a nobody.
	So anyway, going back to this gold, here's what I think might happen.
	If the gold is there, they're going to say, we got all this gold, and now we're going to pass...
	The Global Reserve Act of 2025 and raise the price of gold 70% so that we could cover our deficit that we'll never be able to pay off.
	But if we raise the price of gold, now we've got all this dough and we can cover our big...
	Deficit that we have.
	What is it?
	$36 trillion?
	Do they have an official price of gold, I think, now?
	I think I still think it's at $35 an ounce.
	It's still at $35?
	That's the official price at $35 now?
	Yeah.
	Wow.
	Yeah, that's amazing.
	Well, you know, the other part of it is, is that before all this talk about auditing the gold at Fort Knox and things like that, There was already a lot of massive movement of gold coming back into New York, so much so that the London Metal Exchange couldn't keep up with it.
	And so the question is, what is all that about?
	What do you think that's about?
	I know what it's about.
	I'm telling you.
	You think that's what they're going to do?
	It's about...
	The people in the business know that things are rough out there.
	The markets were artificially propped up with the trillions of dollars when the COVID war came.
	Everything should have crashed.
	They pumped in countless trillions of dollars on money backed by nothing and printed on nothing.
	All around the world.
	Inflation skyrocketed.
	They artificially propped all this up.
	Now let's go back to only about a little over three weeks ago.
	What was DeepSeek?
	Oh, this company from China that came up with AI that cost a fraction of what the other ones cost, $100 million for them, only $6 million for DeepSeek.
	Oh, we don't need all those big NVIDIA chips.
	We could do it with smaller chips.
	Oh, we don't need all these power plants either.
	No, no, we don't need any of that.
	Out of the news, there's going to be a dot-com bust.
	And that's one of our trend forecasts.
	A dot-com bust 2.0.
	I think I have a magazine here somewhere.
	I had it here.
	Here it is.
	Nope, that's not it.
	I had forecast the dot-com bust back in...
	Here it is.
	When the magazine used to be a quarterly, now it's a weekly.
	The $2.56 a week.
	I just renewed the Wall Street Journal.
	Over $700 a year.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	Over $700.
	And this is only $2.56, and if you use the night, you get 10% off.
	Anyway.
	Use code night.
	Dot com this.
	Yeah.
	In the fall of 1999, dot com overload will short-circuit many high expectations for huge profits in internet commerce, entertainment, and a wide array of dot com services.
	Following the holiday season, many of today's life-flying internet stocks, the hottest IPOs, and newly emerging IPO wannabes will have begun their deep descent from their overvalued heights, and we said it would crash by the second quarter of 2000. It crashed in March of 2000. And the Nasdaq went down 80%.
	The same thing is right in front of everybody's eyes.
	They've over-invested in all of these new IPOs, everybody, based on the foundation of NVIDIA. So, trends are born, they grow, they mature, reach old age and die.
	The AI trend has just been born.
	2022. So, let's go into automobiles.
	When did they invent it?
	1886. I'm going to invest every penny in the 1886 model.
	It's going to stay like that and never advance.
	That's what they've done with AI. They've over-speculated trillions of dollars into this sector.
	It's totally out of the news now.
	Totally out of the news.
	And look at the bank stocks going down.
	Yes, they went down 5%.
	A couple of banks.
	Nobody's talking about the office building bust.
	Because now, five years later, these leases aren't being renewed from people who used to have 10 stories, now only have three.
	They can't pay.
	There's going to be a banking bust, there's going to be an office building bust, and there's going to be a dot-com bust.
	And that's why gold prices are going up.
	Yes, I agree.
	I agree.
	And as you point out, as everybody started the quantitative easing and printing money and doing all the rest of the stuff, the debt-to-GDP ratio of all the countries that were doing that kind of stuff just soared.
	They're all underwater.
	Everybody's underwater with this stuff.
	So there's going to be a big, big reset that's going to go on with this.
	And of course, the question is going to be, what is that going to do to individuals?
	And how do we guard against this?
	Is there anything we can do?
	We are extremely bullish on gold.
	Extremely bullish.
	And we're bullish on Bitcoin because of Trump's crypto club in there, where they give them over $300 million.
	Did you see that the opposition party is trying to run impeachment against Javier Malay because he did a pump and dump there like Trump did?
	And it turns out that the same company that was running his rug pull Yeah, I'm not going to do anything.
	Yeah.
	By the way, this is very important, too.
	As you well know, I began my career working on major political campaigns in Westchester County back in the 1970s, the richest county in America.
	And I was the assistant to the Secretary of the New York State Senate, and I designed and instructed a course called American Politics and Campaign Technology, How to Run Political Campaigns, and I taught it at St. John's University.
	I know a thing or two about this game.
	David, never before in my life has there been a better time for a new third party than now.
	Never.
	Because the Democrats are going nowhere.
	Nowhere, know how.
	It's a clown show.
	Who are you going to go for?
	Chuckie Schumer?
	No Adam shit?
	No, Elizabeth.
	One little joke.
	Bernie Sanders.
	Well, they got David Hogg in the number two position there now.
	At the DNC. You got nobody.
	I know.
	They got nobody.
	Oh, by the way, this is the guy that killed the Democratic Party and made it into the slime party it is today.
	This is a t-shirt that I did in 1992 when Clinton was running for office.
	Yeah, slick woolly.
	That's right.
	Yep.
	So he killed the Democratic Party.
	They bragged that it became a different party.
	The Democratic Party no longer represented the people.
	He gave us NAFTA, brought China to the World Trade Organization, on and on.
	Never a better time.
	Oh, and before I forget, bringing China into the World Trade Organization and going back to AI and how China is going to be the world leader in high tech because of Bill Clinton.
	Again, tracking trends is the understanding of where we are, how we got here, and where we're going.
	And I'm going to tell you why.
	China's going to lead the march and why they're ahead now.
	Go back, before Bill Clinton brought China into the World Trade Organization, go back to 2000, 10% of 18-year-olds in China went to college.
	10%.
	Brought them into the World Trade Organization, all the manufacturers from the United, not all of them, a lot of them from the United States, and Europe went into China, gave them our high-tech, heavy industry, taught them everything they needed.
	China became this big industrialized.
	Now, you ready?
	Two-thirds of 18-year-olds are going to college.
	From 10% to two-thirds.
	And they're not doing women's studies either, are they?
	No.
	And it's a whole high-tech world.
	These kids are totally devoted to this high-tech AI world.
	They are going to be the advanced nation in AI technology.
	And that brings me back again to why we're saying there's going to be a dot-com bust in the United States, and it's going to crash the equity markets.
	And when the equity markets go down, Trump will do everything to bring down interest rates, to artificially again prop up the economy like he's done before.
	And the facts, 2018, the Dow had its worst December since the Great Depression.
	What did Trump do?
	He forced Powell to lower interest rates, which he did.
	We talked about this in January 2019. He'll do the same thing.
	The lower interest rates go, the deeper the dollar falls.
	The deeper the dollar falls, the higher gold prices go up.
	Again, you've got to make connections between the different fields.
	Let me ask you this.
	Along that line, I just had a question from a listener.
	DG8 says, David, can you ask, Gerald, if Trump's stance on seizing Gaza will drive Saudi Arabia closer to bricks and weaken or destroy the petrodollar?
	What do you think?
	No, the Saudis are all bought off.
	All the Arab nations are.
	Look at the Saudis gave, what, $2 billion to Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, to start up his BS business?
	Look at all the Trump buildings going on in the Middle East.
	It's all about money.
	The Arabs aren't for the Palestinians.
	If they were, they would have put it in embargo like they did back in 1973. They don't care about the Palestinians.
	They only care about the bottom line.
	Yeah, they got a lot of empty land there in Saudi Arabia that they could bring them in if they wanted to, but they don't want to bring in any Palestinians either when it comes in there.
	Yeah, they may publicly push back on it, but I agree with you.
	I think privately, they're there with Jared Kushner, and they're being, you know, they sold out just like our government is sold out.
	Abraham from Tennessee says, Love, Gerald Slenty.
	Everyone should subscribe to Trends Journal.
	That's right, and you can get 10% off if you use the code NIGHT. Go to TrendsJournal.com.
	Thank you, Abraham.
	Appreciate it.
	Three Little Birds says, Slenty is somehow always a couple of steps ahead.
	As long as I've known you, yeah, you have been a couple of steps ahead, that's for sure.
	And I don't think you're going to slow down even with a broken ankle.
	David, can you ask him what his book was that he showed, and can we still get it?
	Oh, yeah.
	He showed us three books.
	This book, Since He Gave Honey Boy, a true story about love, wisdom, and the soul of America.
	Of everything I've written, this is my favorite.
	And it was about what life used to be, you know, growing up in the Bronx and how...
	It was the height of America.
	Yeah.
	And it was a different America.
	My uncles had fish stores or butcher shops.
	They're gone.
	Now the bigs own everything.
	And by the way, it used to be a TV show, Everyone Loves Raymond.
	And the woman, Doris Roberts, who played the mother, her last starring role is playing my Aunt Zidzi.
	You can get it on YouTube, but Doris Roberts died 15 minutes into the movie.
	So if you go to Trends Journal, and you look at about, you know, the things on the top, and you can get the book down there.
	This is my favorite.
	She died making the movie.
	Did they finish the movie, or was somebody else?
	No, they just stopped it.
	You can get it on YouTube.
	And what happened was, unfortunately, the book came out.
	Like a week before 9-11.
	Oh, yeah, yeah.
	And my other ones were bestsellers, so this one didn't make it big, but of everything I've written.
	You know, as a kid growing up, there was never a word talked about politics when I was a kid, my aunts and uncles.
	Never.
	It was about the human spirit being the best you can, doing the best you can, and it just breaks my heart.
	Again, when I was a kid, There were grocery stores, hardware stores, drug stores, shoe stores, stationary stores, and now they're all chains.
	Oh, look at the big news yesterday.
	Walmart expects sales to go down from the...
	Walmart?
	Oh, brought you by?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, oh, I agree.
	Nick Willie Clinton from Arkansas.
	Well, you know, that's one of the things, Gerald, that really stuck in my craw with all this lockdown stuff, the essential and non-essential businesses, as Trump called it, because we had had that same, you mentioned Walmart.
	We had little mom-and-pop video stores, Karen and I did.
	And we had had a storm come through, lost power everywhere.
	It's the only time we ever closed our stores.
	And we were out of power for like two or three days.
	And finally, one of the stores got power back.
	We went in, and the two of us were running it.
	And then the cops came in to shut us down.
	And I said, Walmart across the street is open.
	Well, that's fine.
	It's okay for Walmart.
	You can't be open.
	And that was what came back to me when Trump did that non-essential stuff.
	It's like, yeah, you know, that made me furious.
	It still makes me angry when I see it.
	But that's the kind of world that we live in.
	I began the program today with a comment from Oliver Anthony, the guy who got a lot of plays on YouTube and Spotify and everything.
	with the rich men north of richmond and what he was saying was we're the last generation that knows life without artificial intelligence and his concern was you know you talk about how things have changed from communities and families and small businesses and everything now the generations are getting so isolated from each other and so connected to this digital artificial society he said it really concerns him to think about what what is going to happen even in his lifetime
	You know, I don't own a cell phone.
	I have an old flip phone.
	And I only use it when I travel, which I don't do that much anymore.
	Maybe this year I maybe made 30 or 40 calls the whole year on the flip phone.
	And I did work for the cellular telecommunications industry going back to the 1990s when they had boxes in the backs of trunks with aerials.
	And I've been studying the radio frequency radiation from these since then.
	And I know how deadly they are.
	The facts are all there.
	And now, you know, I like to go out.
	I'm a nighttime guy, you know?
	Every time I go to a bar, people are on their cell phones.
	Somebody's talking to each other.
	I know, I know.
	People walk down the street.
	So here's an article that came out from Study Finds two days ago.
	This is, one change to your phone can reverse age-related cognitive issues by 10 years.
	Keeping your phone's internet off could boost your well-being, focus, sleep productivity, impulsivity, and more.
	Blocking mobile internet for two weeks led to mental health improvements with an effect size larger than typically seen in antidepressant studies.
	It goes on.
	Wow.
	Wow.
	Again, people...
	Mental fog, yeah.
	Exactly.
	And the young generation, this is their life.
	And the AI, again, trends are born, they grow, mature, reach old age and die.
	The AI trend has just been born.
	It's the future.
	As I said, they got it wrong in the King James Bible when they said the meek shall inherit the earth.
	The geeks have inherited the earth.
	Look at that picture of Trump's inauguration.
	That little clown, Pichai, Musk, Zuckerberg.
	One little freak after another, and you look at it.
	Here they are at the inauguration, and there's Musk and Pichai on their phone.
	Nobody's talking to anybody.
	This is the future.
	It's finished.
	Unless we have a renaissance.
	Well, you know, that's interesting.
	One of the things that Oliver Anthony said he was going to do was try to...
	Restore rural America one town at a time.
	And he's starting a foundation because he made a lot of money from that one song that he had.
	And so, you know, he's focused on building things from the grassroots up and trying to get communities together, you know, trying to restore that.
	You know, it's a good goal.
	I think that that's going to work for a few people, but I think it's not going to be the majority of people.
	But we can do that ourselves.
	You know, that's the thing.
	Each and every one of us.
	Here's the deal.
	We talked about in the beginning how the billionaires are in charge of everything.
	We need a renaissance.
	The renaissance followed the Black Plague.
	Sixty percent of Europe was wiped out because of the filthy sanitation.
	They were killing themselves.
	They said in Italy, at the beginning of the renaissance, in the manner of the Romans and the ancients to describe the quality of the work that they were developing.
	The bringing back the beauty of the past.
	In the most elegant way.
	How did it happen?
	With the Medici's, you need the money.
	You can't do it without the money.
	These billionaires don't give a penny for peace.
	They don't give a penny for the Renaissance.
	If a billionaire, like you take a little clown boy like Musk, what is he worth, like $400 billion?
	Hey, you got some.
	How about $10 billion for a Renaissance?
	It's nothing, nothing.
	Out of your $400 billion.
	Screw you.
	Get the hell out of here.
	What do I care?
	Look at the way I dress.
	Look at how I got my stupid hat on.
	All right?
	We need the money.
	You can't do it without money.
	You can't run for office without money.
	You can't have a new political party without money.
	As we say in the Bronx, money talks, bullshit walks.
	Yeah, that's the way it is in those worlds.
	We're going to pull things back one person at a time, one family at a time.
	And I think the people that are focused on this money stuff exclusively, I think that's going to be something that is – if somebody's going to look at their future as hitching a ride on a corporation, they're going to find that they're the ones that are going to be cut off.
	I think it's going to be the people who have real relationships with their family, just as you talked about growing up.
	That's what Bill's character – That's what builds strength and I think the people that have that are the ones that are going to persevere, that are going to be able to go through the hard times.
	No question.
	And that's something that we can all do.
	You know, I mean, there's not a lot of, you know, it's just a sense of hopelessness if we're going to look for some savior like Trump or something.
	You know, that's the problem with most of America right now.
	It's a problem with the conservatives.
	It's been a problem for a long time with the liberals.
	They're always looking for a savior.
	They're always looking for a solution from the federal government.
	And now that's what's happening with the conservatives.
	It's absolutely amazing.
	I saw this hero worship with Obama, and now I'm seeing it with Trump.
	It's just, that's what's taking us down the drain, I think.
	Oh, this is going to be, never, this is going to be the wildest four years of our lifetime.
	Oh, I agree.
	Look what we're talking about in just a month.
	He's only in a month.
	Look what he's done in a month.
	Sign more executive orders than any other president.
	That's right.
	That's right.
	And when you look at what, okay, just yesterday I was talking about the situation with the fact that he is saying we're not going to have boys on girls' teams, okay?
	California and Maine do it anyway.
	And now you've got the conservatives saying, well, he needs to stop that.
	It's like, well, no, we have a federal system.
	I don't agree with it, but he doesn't have the authority to do anything about that.
	What he can do is he can bribe them or he can pull money away from them to get them to do what he wants.
	And that's what people didn't understand about 2020, how Trump is pulling the strings.
	Trump understands that.
	He's talked about pulling money away to get them to do what he wants to do.
	And Obama has done the same thing.
	But you've got the conservatives out there saying, well, Trump needs to fix this and It's like, fix it yourself.
	Get out of that school if you don't like what they're doing, right?
	You know, take some responsibility for your life.
	Nobody wants to do that anymore.
	Again, as I said, some things I agree with him, some things I don't.
	But I've got to tell you, with the Ukraine war, he's done more positive than...
	If we got that other clown back, Kamala Hilarious, in there...
	It would have been worse.
	They would have been taking more of our rights away from us in different ways and stealing more of our money to give it to them in a different way.
	So there are some positive things about Trump, and there was nothing positive about Biden.
	And again, totally opposed to Trump in his Gaza stance, totally opposed to all the billionaires in control of everything.
	And again...
	Get rid of all these government agencies.
	And that's the other important thing.
	It's not only the federal government.
	It's your city and your state.
	It's doing the same thing.
	Oh, I agree.
	Yeah, when you look at Western North Carolina, you know, it's local people that made it worse.
	And we saw this all throughout 2020. It could be much worse or it could be much better depending on what your local government is.
	That's why I told people, I said, pay attention to that because they can make it better or worse.
	And we just had a study come out talking about how the block grants, somebody went through and quantified it, says, well, that increases corruption by 28% if you give a block grant from the federal government.
	Of course it does.
	Because it's the money, right?
	And these people, they see a massive pile of money there, and most people are not going to be able to withstand the temptation to grab it, you know?
	That's where the corruption begins, right there.
	And so you've got all this unlimited amount of money that's coming out of Washington because it just created out of thin air and pushing that in, yeah.
	I mean, look at the tax breaks they give to them.
	Hey, I'm going to build an apartment over here.
	Oh, we'll give you a tax break.
	Yeah.
	Who the hell are you to get a tax break?
	Oh, yeah, I got money.
	And by the way, before I forget, another big trend that you're going to see, we're talking about the billionaires and how the people are going to be against us, a lot of people, off with their heads 2.0.
	And that's how you can have a revolution without the money behind it.
	Because a lot of people are very angry about how the rich get a free ride and they keep stealing our money.
	What did that Buffett say one time?
	That he pays less taxes?
	Percentage-wise than his secretary?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Oh, you know that I used to rent one of my buildings, the 1763 Dr. Jensen House, to his son, Peter Buffett.
	And Peter Buffett never gave me, for about 10 years, never gave me a penny for the Occupy Peace rallies that we had.
	Not a penny.
	Another daddy's boy.
	Another daddy's boy.
	He wouldn't even say hello to me.
	I'm just a little wop.
	I'm the landlord.
	Well, I got a couple of comments here.
	Nate Lovin says, tell Gerald thank you for his perspective on AI. I love the car correlation to AI. Naburo2029 says, Gerald is correct with his economic perceptions, but also he's stated many times, when all else fails, they take us to war.
	Got it.
	So, again, you know, there may be peace in Ukraine, but is there going to be war somewhere else?
	Iran.
	Yeah, Rubio is pushing that really hard, and that's what I saw yesterday.
	Yeah.
	They rebrand it and pivot, you know?
	So even if they take off the Trump shot, the COVID injection, because nobody's getting it, they'll pivot to some more mRNA injections somewhere else.
	When they shut down the Ukraine war, they pivot to an Iran war, right?
	It's in this week's Trends Journal.
	Week after week, we've been writing about ramping up the Iran war.
	I remember it was Trump that took us off the nuclear deal with Iran and assassinated Soleimani, the Iranian commander.
	That's right.
	That's right.
	Yeah, if he's going to do that, you know, that's the way these things operate.
	And, you know, just as you see Mark Levin having a hissy fit about Trump moving towards peace in Ukraine, right, his history.
	Doesn't include the coup in 2014. And nobody's history includes the Iranian coup back in the 1950s.
	That's really, if you want to know how we got to that point, it's the CIA and the U.S. government, the military-industrial complex.
	It gets us into all these situations, always blowing back on us like this, right?
	When I wrote the book Trend Tracking, Far Better than Megatrends, Time Magazine, that's how I became a trend forecaster with the Iranian war.
	Hmm.
	When it began and when they had their revolution back in the late 1970s.
	And little Jimmy Carter, who gave us Mujahideen with Brzezinski, oh, that guy that's al-Qaeda today, yeah, that clown.
	He comes back from visiting the Shah and his wife in New Year's and said, the Shah is the island of stability in the Middle East.
	He was a real astute observer, wasn't he?
	Yeah.
	That's when I became a trend forecaster and a political atheist.
	And I said, as everybody was taught to hate Iran, they had no idea, as you just mentioned, the CIA and the MI6 overthrow of Mosaddegh in 1953, the Iranian president, because he had the nerve, the gall, to say...
	I don't know.
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	The history that we're taught is we don't know where these countries are, and yet we want to go to war with them.
	We don't know where the history is, and yet we want to have another war with them.
	Always great talking to you, Gerald.
	Thank you so much.
	And, folks, again, TrendsJournal.com.
	Use the code NIGHT to save 10% off, and as Gerald points out, it's half the price of the New York Times.
	Thank you, Gerald.
	Appreciate it.
	Yep.
	Hello, it's me, Volodymyr Zelensky.
	I'm so tired of wearing these same t-shirts everywhere for years.
	You'd think with all the billions I've skimmed off America, I could dress better.
	And I could if only David Knight would send me one of his beautiful grey MacGuffin hoodies or a new black t-shirt with the MacGuffin logo in blue.
	But...
	He told me to get lost.
	Maybe one of you American suckers can buy me some at thedavidknightshow.com.
	You should be able to buy me several hundred.
	Those amazing sand-colored microphone hoodies are so beautiful.
	I'd wear something other than green military cosplay to my various galas and social events.
