	The End
	In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
	It's the David Knight Show.
	As the clock strikes 13, it's Monday, the 3rd of March, Year of Our Lord 2025.
	Well, we're going to talk, of course, about the Zolinski Fight Club today.
	And it's interesting to see how people are lining up on this thing.
	You can see who the people are who always want war.
	Surprisingly, the one that goes against the grain is Miss Lindsay, who is always a sycophant to whatever power is going to get him in Washington.
	So we're going to take a look at that, and at the response to it, is there going to be an EU army?
	Are we going to get out of NATO? And we have Trump declaring that the U.S. is going to be English only.
	I think that's a very good move.
	We'll see what will happen with that.
	But also, a Bitcoin reserve?
	No, he's talking about a broad crypto reserve.
	Not just Bitcoin.
	It's going to be some cryptos you've never heard of.
	Yeah, it's a big scam coming, folks.
	Big pump and dump.
	And then what happens after the pump and dump?
	Are they coming for everything in America?
	We'll be right back.
	Stay with us.
	Well, I got to say, I got to say, one thing that disgusts me is sycophancy.
	And boy, there's a lot of it for Zelensky right now.
	You've seen this back and forth.
	I've got a little bit of it that I'll play for you.
	But everybody has seen it by now, I'm sure.
	And I gotta say, I really enjoyed seeing the little guy get his comeuppance.
	It's like, hopefully now that he's made it personal with Trump and Trump is really teed off.
	And now maybe we can just stop all the money and all the weapons.
	And let's hope that that happens.
	I mean, it's a good chance.
	It's a good chance.
	Of course, now it's all being redirected to Israel, okay?
	So we aren't going to save any money, and we're not going to have peace.
	It's just they're moving the money, and they're moving the wars to another front, which is more in alignment with its interests.
	But the war party, as I said, sycophancy, you can see it in the war party.
	Take a look at the Wall Street Journal, for example.
	The Wall Street Journal, quasi-mainstream media conservative thing.
	So they're not fully on board with Trump.
	Sometimes they'll cheer him, sometimes they'll oppose him.
	They're not like the left-wing media, Microsoft, MSNBC, and CNN, which always oppose everything he does, regardless of how irrational the opposition is.
	But Wall Street Journal, listen to this.
	Zelensky, who stood up to Putin, now refuses to bow to Trump.
	The Ukrainian leader who relies on his own instincts.
	Are you kidding me?
	He relies on his own.
	He relies on U.S. money and weapons.
	That's what he relies on.
	And he has been there as a cat's paw for NATO to push for a war with Russia.
	To push for a nuclear war, folks.
	Trump was right about that.
	You're flirting with a nuclear war.
	And I think that was the thing that really kicked Trump off.
	Kicked me off, too.
	He says, well, you know, you're fortunate that you've got a big ocean here, but, you know, that's not going to protect you in the future.
	And he goes, hey, don't tell me what's going to protect us in the future.
	This guy has wanted to drag us into a world war with nuclear weapons from the very beginning.
	This little homoerotic comedian puppet.
	And I put comedian in air quotes.
	There's nothing funny about this guy, except the stench that comes from him.
	Absolutely deplorable.
	What he is doing.
	So, in a televised clash, this is Wall Street Journal, listen to this.
	In a televised clash, after which Zelensky and the rest of the Ukrainian delegation were asked to leave the White House.
	Yes!
	Don't come back until you want peace, right?
	That was what he said.
	But then he's got all these memes.
	And don't come back until you've got a suit.
	Or a David Knight t-shirt or hoodie.
	No, he'd probably get thrown out immediately with that.
	He wouldn't even be allowed to sit in the White House if he had a David Knight t-shirt or hoodie.
	Ukraine now faces not just a cutoff in vital American military assistance, but a possible U.S. agreement with Moscow that leaves Ukraine isolated.
	So, as I said, I quite enjoyed watching that.
	For once, I'm cheering Trump on this thing.
	That was really a strange feeling.
	Z began his attack with a so-called history lesson.
	And everything about it was entirely false.
	It goes back to 2014. He doesn't mention the CIA coup that was involved that began that.
	He doesn't talk about five years of Kiev shelling its own citizens in eastern Ukraine.
	He doesn't mention the fact that he ran on a platform of peace in 2019. And then right after they were elected, he sent Alexei Arrestovich.
	I played that, talked about it many, many, many, many times.
	I'll say it one more time.
	He goes as head of the delegation for peace, and he comes back and they said, well, what's the chances of peace?
	They said, none.
	She said, oh, that's horrible.
	And he goes, no, it's going to get worse.
	In three years, we're going to have war with Russia.
	How did they know that?
	This is the Ukrainian.
	Representative for Zelensky.
	How'd they know?
	Three years.
	And he said, it's going to be horrible.
	This country is going to be completely destroyed.
	There'll be havoc, is the way it was translated.
	And she said, that's horrible.
	And he goes, no, the good news is we get into NATO. These are the geopolitical games that they're playing, folks.
	They play games with people's lives, their own citizens.
	They'll play games with your life as well, if you let them.
	Our government, as well as the Ukrainian government, the Russian government, all of them.
	All of them will do this.
	Your money, your blood mean nothing to them.
	You are nothing but pawns on a chessboard.
	That's where the chess game comes in.
	And they don't care at all about you.
	They don't even care what happens to their country.
	As long as it achieves their goals of, okay, well now I'm in with a club.
	You know, hey, the country that I was over, completely destroyed.
	But hey, I'm now in the club.
	I got in the club.
	The club that you ain't in.
	Let me just play this right here for you.
	This is the prelude to war.
	The war that happened in the Oval Office.
	But you're never going to get a deal that way, so that's the way it goes.
	One more question.
	I would respond to this.
	So look.
	For four years in the United States of America, we had a president who stood up at press conferences and talked tough about Vladimir Putin, and then Putin invaded Ukraine and destroyed a significant chunk of the country.
	The path to peace and the path to prosperity is maybe engaging in diplomacy.
	We tried the pathway of Joe Biden of thumping our chest and pretending that the president of the United States' words mattered more than the president of the United States' actions.
	Is America a good country?
	Is America engaging in diplomacy?
	That's what President Trump is doing.
	Can I ask you?
	Sure.
	Yeah?
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	So he occupied our parts, big parts of Ukraine, parts of East and Crimea.
	So he occupied it on 2014.
	So during those years, I'm not speaking about just Biden, but those times was Obama, then President Obama, then President Trump, then President Biden, now President Trump and God bless.
	Now President Trump will stop him.
	But during 2014, nobody stopped him.
	He just occupied and took.
	He killed people.
	You know what the contact was?
	2015. 2014. Trump doesn't even know.
	He's completely lost.
	I was not here.
	Yeah, but...
	Still not there.
	He's still not there.
	2015. I wasn't here.
	No, you're not here today, even though it is 2025. You're still not here in the room.
	His head's not in it.
	No, look.
	All of that began with a Polish reporter.
	I was saying that the people in Poland were a bit upset because Trump was moving too close to Putin or getting too friendly with him.
	I forget exactly how it was worded.
	But that's why you had J.D. Vance say, can I speak to that?
	We've had all this tough talk and everything.
	What has that gotten us?
	Nowhere.
	Except closer to a nuclear war, quite frankly.
	And so he began 2014. Again, it was Putin who occupied and invaded the country.
	Well, no, actually.
	You had Kev shelling his own people, refusing to let them decide on their self-governance after a U.S. CIA-engineered coup.
	These are people who, for centuries, have had deep ethnic, religious, linguistic, political ties to Russia.
	And, again, for whatever reason, you may not understand it, I may not understand it, but they wanted to be with Russia.
	So that's their choice, isn't it?
	Oh, no.
	Europe is not about that.
	Not about that at all.
	They have the audacity as they're talking about the EU army.
	You're going to see Ursula Fond of Lying is going to talk about how, well, what cannot stand is somebody trying to change borders.
	What is it that the CIA does all the time?
	Maybe we should outlaw the CIA. Maybe we should all go to war against the CIA. How about that?
	We could have an alliance of Russia, America, Europe, all of them, against the CIA and our intelligence agencies, because they're the ones who are creating all these problems, all these wars and coups.
	So, again, he ran on a platform of peace and betrayed all of that.
	Well, so it escalated, this back and forth in the White House.
	And to give you an idea of what it looks like, here's a shot of what happened later on.
	Stop it!
	I'm ticklish!
	Yeah, that's it.
	That's it exactly.
	Been a lot of memes out there.
	I love this one, where Zelensky is a shrunken up little kid with a pacifier in his mouth.
	What I'm doing is very disrespectful to the country.
	This country.
	AI can be a lot of fun for this kind of stuff, can't it?
	And while it entertains us, it is scheming in the background to run everything in our lives and to spy on everything that we do.
	So, back to the Wall Street Journal and their disgusting sycophancy.
	By refusing to bend in Washington, Zelensky was the honor of Europe.
	What?
	What?
	Europe has been bowing to Washington for 80 years, in case you haven't noticed.
	Now it is important, it is upon us Europeans to decide what we want to be when they grow up.
	Take the pacifier out of there.
	You could set up a whole line, if you wanted to do an AI thing, of this meeting coming up on the 6th.
	Coming up in three days.
	They're going to have a meeting about the EU army, and then, of course, Trump is going to have a Bitcoin reserve, or crypto reserve, I should say now.
	Crypto reserve meeting on the 7th, the next day.
	But when Europe gets together, and all these leaders get together, and they decide what they want to be when they grow up, you get picked all of them like Zelensky, a little toddler with a temper tantrum with a pacifier in his mouth.
	And whether we want to be.
	This is coming from the French Prime Minister, Francois Beroux, I guess is how you pronounce his name.
	I don't know.
	Well, good.
	Good.
	When you guys grow up and you're able to defend yourself, maybe we can get rid of NATO and stop being your nursemaid.
	But this is Wall Street Journal.
	Even Republican leaders who used to be friendly to Ukraine.
	I've never seen Lindsey Graham described as friendly to anybody.
	Except somebody who wants something from.
	It was Lindsey Graham, remember, back in 2014, 2015. Lindsey Graham, John McCain was still alive.
	The two of them go there.
	Lindsey Graham is telling the Ukrainians, next year we're going after Putin.
	And they're like, what?
	You know, looking at each other.
	It's like, we really want to do this?
	Because Russia had not invaded at that point in time, in spite of what Zelensky says.
	So Lindsey Graham professed admiration for Trump's handling of the encounter.
	Because, here's the sycophancy from the other side.
	He says, I don't know if we can ever do business with Zelensky again.
	What, you got enough of that money that was kicked back to you then, Lindsey, for all the war stuff then?
	You don't need any war?
	That's not the nature of this thing.
	You know, once they taste the forbidden fruit, they can't get enough of it.
	At the meeting with Trump, Zelensky made a choice for war.
	It is his common choice with Putin, said an opposition Ukrainian leader, who said on Telegram, Ukraine is above everything.
	It is also above the biggest ego and pride.
	Yeah, that's what Zelensky is about.
	He's a puppet.
	He's a cat's paw.
	Among Ukrainian troops on the front lines, the mood was more of quiet pride, according to the Wall Street Journal.
	Do you believe anything they say at this point?
	Then despair.
	After the clash in the Oval Office, one said, I am proud of Zelensky, who stood up for our honor.
	He stood up for our soldiers so they wouldn't have just died for nothing.
	I'm sorry, but your soldiers did die for nothing.
	Now, you can kill more of them and think that you're going to give them meaning, but they already died for nothing.
	And the sooner you understand that, the sooner this war stops.
	In virtually every war, virtually, not everyone, but in virtually every war, the soldiers die for nothing.
	They die because, like Smedley Butler said, the International Fruit Company or some other vested interest wants the war.
	And they use our money and our blood.
	Wake up about this.
	So, yeah, we're going to keep repaying evil for evil.
	Is that the Christian way?
	That's the way to have a Hatfields and McCoy.
	That's the way it never ends, right?
	You can see how this goes.
	And, of course, when you look at Israel, that's been happening there forever.
	And it just keeps escalating.
	Nobody wants to ever pull back.
	So, it doesn't make the death of your Friends and comrades.
	Meaningful.
	To continue the war.
	They think that it might be meaningful if they win.
	But they don't have a chance of winning.
	That's the key issue.
	And so, asked on Fox News on Friday night about Senator Graham's suggestion that Zelensky resign.
	Zelensky said such decisions were up to the Ukrainian people.
	Listen to this.
	This is really rich.
	He said, Americans vote for the American president.
	Each European country votes for their president.
	And only Ukrainians vote for their president.
	Except he suspended the elections.
	And he arrested the opposition.
	And then he goes on Fox News.
	I wonder if Bret Baier let him get away with this.
	I'm looking at the Wall Street Journal recounting this.
	I didn't go back and look at the interview that he had with Bret Baier.
	If Bret Baier let him get away with that statement?
	Seriously?
	Seriously?
	You shut down the elections, you arrested your opponents, and you talked to us about an election?
	You're nothing but a bought little comedian, and you're not funny anymore.
	And that's the way the Wall Street Journal story ends.
	It ends with them leaving that lie and letting it end with that.
	Well, we're a proud, independent people, and we have democracy.
	Always, not necessarily the last refuge of a scoundrel is patriotism, I guess.
	The first one is democracy, isn't it?
	When they don't care about individual liberties.
	You've got these people like Ursula, fond of lying, who absolutely hates the First Amendment.
	And she's out there talking about self-governance and all the rest of the stuff.
	Look, if they believed in self-governance, this war would not have started in the first place.
	You wouldn't have had NATO pushing, pushing, pushing.
	Using this coup and these puppets that they put in there as a cat's paw.
	You would not have had Ukraine would have just said, oh, okay, you guys don't want to be a part of our government?
	Well, go see how you like Putin.
	And then when you've had enough of that, we'll accept you back if he'll let you go.
	And of course, that's why he would not let them go either.
	They wouldn't have the freedom of self-governance.
	When they talk about democracy and all the rest of this stuff.
	It's just amazing lies and hypocrisy.
	So, Zelensky says, this is anti-war.
	Zelensky passed on the deal, and he decided to fight.
	That's it.
	It's a deal.
	So, yeah.
	He's ignorant and uninterested in the cause of war.
	All Trump wants is just peace.
	For whatever his purposes are.
	And I think his purposes are so he can shift resources to Israel.
	He can focus there.
	Ukraine's a distraction for him.
	And here's a schoolchild's take on this thing.
	This is Trump talking about what happened.
	He said, look, Zelensky was fighting with a much bigger entity.
	Much bigger.
	Much more powerful.
	He shouldn't have done that.
	Because we could have made a deal.
	And it would have been a deal that would have been, well, it would have been a nothing deal.
	That's a great boy who got a 40 chess master in the White House playing this stuff.
	He's a con man.
	We're sitting there watching it, Karen and I are laughing because he keeps going back to, you know, you haven't got the cards.
	I got the cards.
	This deal and all that stuff.
	You can tell that this guy has spent his entire life with the mafia and casinos, right?
	It's all about cards and deals and the rest of the stuff.
	And then this.
	Did Obama give sheets to Ukraine?
	Sheets and javelins.
	Sheets and javelins.
	I had to look it up.
	I was like, what in the world is he talking about?
	Well, it's a reference to $600 million in non-lethal assistance.
	Blankets and things like that.
	But it also included some vehicles and night vision goggles.
	That was just getting us kicked off with Obama.
	And so Trump says, well, that was Obama.
	He gave you sheets.
	I gave you javelins.
	I gave you the javelins to take out all those tanks.
	Obama gave you sheets.
	In fact, the statement is, and he just realized, I've got a soundbite here.
	Stop the presses.
	Hold on.
	I'll explain this to you.
	The statement is, Obama gave sheets and Trump gave javelins.
	You've got to be more thankful, because let me tell you, you don't have the cards.
	With us, you've got the cards.
	But without us, you haven't got any cards.
	Here it is.
	You can hear it for yourself.
	That wasn't with me.
	That wasn't with me.
	That was with a guy named Biden who was not a smart person.
	He's a wise guy.
	That was with Obama who gave you sheets and I gave you javelins.
	I gave you the javelins to take out all those tanks.
	Obama gave you sheets.
	In fact, the statement is Obama gave sheets and Trump gave javelins.
	You gotta be more thankful.
	Because let me tell you, you don't have the cards.
	With us, you have the cards.
	Without us, you don't have any cards.
	Well, the guy who had all the cards went bankrupt with several casinos.
	I forget the exact total of them.
	Anyway.
	Now, this is being portrayed by the left-wing media that wants war, the war press.
	He was set up by Trump.
	Well, no, he actually wasn't.
	It went on for quite some time before it blew up.
	And I showed you about the point where it blew up.
	It blew up as he engages J.D. Vance.
	And he decided to engage J.D. Vance.
	J.D. Vance was answering and commenting on a Polish reporter's response.
	And so Zelensky goes for Vance.
	And he, well, one of the things, you know, he speaks English pretty well, but he typically, with interviews, he'll have a translator.
	And some people said it would have really been smart for him to have a translator because that would have slowed things down.
	But he decided that he's going to speak English.
	And then it devolved into this.
	But if he'd had a translator, it would have given him an opportunity to think.
	Which he obviously was not doing.
	So, this is an article from PJ Media.
	It says, a liberal reporter destroyed the left's narrative about Zelensky's meeting with Trump.
	Well, actually, no.
	Michael Tracy is a liberal only if you're wearing Trump-partisan blinders, if you're so embedded in this left-right thinking.
	Oh, well, if he's not for Trump all the time, then he's got to be a left-wing guy.
	No, Michael Tracy isn't.
	He's pretty balanced, actually.
	So he says, don't take my word for it.
	Even some voices on the left.
	Again, this person who is stuck, PJ Media, stuck in this paradigm.
	Grow up.
	Get out of the box you've put yourself in.
	Stop being a cheerleader for one side or the other.
	Well, if you're not with us, you're against us.
	That type of thing.
	Even some voices on the left couldn't stomach the blatant mischaracterization of what actually happened.
	Independent journalist.
	He's independent.
	He's not left.
	He's not right.
	Michael Tracy, who is certainly no MAGA fan, called out the absurdity of the ambush narrative being pushed by the mainstream media.
	He said anyone who rationally watches the first 50 minutes will see that it was not an ambush.
	The first 40 minutes were normal and cordial.
	Then came the self-inflicted meltdown by Zelensky.
	If you can't rationally describe the meeting, perhaps your policy extrapolations are also irrational.
	The irony is that he had already gotten what he came for, and he blew it up.
	He says the irony of that meeting was that they were on the cusp of formalizing Ukraine as a sort of U.S. protectorship with continued U.S. military aid, quote-unquote, and a framework for deployment of NATO troops, all of which are major U.S. commitments under any circumstances.
	But it wasn't enough for Zelensky.
	Tracy said another irony is the paranoid EU overreactions to every Trump tiff.
	It's the end of the Western alliance, etc.
	It could impel at least some of them to take rash action vis-a-vis Ukraine, potentially ensnaring the U.S. Because that is the concern for all of us who don't want to have one war after the other.
	And we're going to talk about that when we come back to the We'll come back to what is happening with this with the EU army.
	But the bottom line is that Europe can now, if they're going to start an EU army, if they're going to start trying to arm themselves, if they're going to be belligerent, and look, they don't have the money in the bank to cash the checks that they're trying to write.
	And if they go in and keep picking a fight with Russia, one that they can't win, if they invite an attack and some of these NATO countries' troops are attacked, They're going to go screaming, you know, it's kind of like the, you know, they're going to go screaming, medic, medic, you know.
	And is the U.S. going to come to their rescue?
	And we have been involved in two world wars, all of them European.
	And the Europeans have been in a situation where they've had a constant state of war.
	As a matter of fact, that's why George Washington talked about we're not going to get involved in any entangling alliances with European countries because they're in a constant state of war.
	Nothing has changed.
	They still want to be in a constant state of war.
	You know, so what alternative does Zelensky have?
	He doesn't, really.
	Trump is considering ending all aid to Ukraine.
	Good.
	The New York Times reported that weapons deliveries to Ukraine have slowed to a trickle even before Friday's heated exchange.
	However, Trump is now considering cutting off other support to Kiev.
	New York Times said the president might decide to and even end the indirect support being provided by the U.S., which includes other types of military financing, intelligence sharing, training for Ukrainian troops and pilots, and hosting a call center.
	That manages international aid at a U.S. military base in Germany.
	The more we talk about this, the more obvious it is that this is a proxy war with the EU and Biden and NATO against Russia.
	I mean, everybody hopefully can see this now.
	Why is this necessary to continue this?
	And so Zelensky in that Fox News interview says, well, we have to be very honest and very open.
	Yeah, well, try that for a change, right?
	You've lied to us about everything else, so that would be a refreshing change.
	He asked whether he thinks that he owed Trump an apology.
	Zelensky did not offer one.
	He says, I'm not sure we did something bad.
	Some things we have to discuss out of media.
	With all respect to democracy and free media.
	But there are things that we have to understand.
	And the position of Ukraine and Ukrainians, I think that is the most important thing.
	But Zelensky did not say that he regretted the exchange.
	Well, he may come to regret it.
	And so yet, later on, it appeared that he did regret it and that he is, as some people have characterized it, desperate to get back on track.
	And it looks like Trump is not interested.
	CBS News said Trump fully intended to sign the minerals deal today.
	Two official binders were prepared.
	Treasury Secretary Scott Besant and his Ukrainian counterpart and the two presidents were going to sit at a conference table in the East Room and then trumpet their success at the podiums.
	But none of that happened.
	And so they said because all this was prepared, everything was set and just blew up.
	Ended it.
	It said none of this drama was premeditated.
	The greeting with Trump and Zelensky was warm.
	Jokes and guest books were signed in the West Wing lobby.
	And one person says, look at this expression on Rubio's face.
	Here it is.
	When this is happening.
	J.D. Fance is smiling real big and Rubio's like, oh no.
	But even better, I think, is what was happening.
	With the Ukrainian ambassador.
	Here's a video of the Ukrainian ambassador cringing in her seat.
	Head down.
	No.
	Yeah, that's the Ukrainian ambassador.
	She's like, no, no.
	This is not going really well.
	But of course, again, it was all set.
	And it was a regular meeting.
	The only thing...
	That I'm aware of that had happened before that was a taunt from somebody who was there with the press or maybe was one of these influencers or something criticized Zelensky for wearing a t-shirt and not a suit.
	My second question for President Zelensky.
	Why don't you wear a suit?
	Why don't you wear a suit?
	You're the highest level in this country's office, and you refuse to wear a suit.
	Look at Rubio.
	He's not laughing.
	J.D. Vance is.
	A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting...
	Really?
	I don't have such...
	I will wear a costume after this war will finish.
	Okay.
	Yes.
	Maybe...
	Maybe something like yours, yes?
	Maybe something better?
	I don't know.
	We'll see.
	Maybe something cheaper.
	He's got lots of money.
	Maybe I'll wear a suit like yours.
	Maybe something better?
	Yeah, that's right.
	And as that question was asked, you can see that expression.
	From Marco Rubio sitting over the side, he's like, you know, and J.D. Vance was laughing it up.
	Maybe that's one of the reasons why Zelensky went for J.D. Vance later on.
	Maybe it was the t-shirt thing.
	He says, and then I'll wear a costume.
	Hey, pal, you've been wearing a costume for three years.
	We're sick of the costume.
	Again, he's nothing but a little puppet actor.
	All of them are, quite frankly.
	And then Saturday Night Live did their skit.
	Not going to play it.
	But it was all about the fact that, oh, suits?
	Well, you know, we have Elon Musk doesn't ever have to wear a suit, does he?
	Right?
	Here he is in the, remember when he brought his kid to work?
	President Musk came into the Oval Office, and he is wearing kind of a suit.
	It's kind of like an overcoat.
	But underneath it, he's got a t-shirt, and he's wearing a ball cap.
	There you go.
	How's that for respecting the Oval Office?
	Brought his kid who came in and told Trump, you need to shut up and get out of here.
	I don't like you.
	I'm going to wish you into the cornfield.
	So, little kid.
	And Musk comes in.
	Musk doesn't wear a suit.
	I imagine when you look at this, I don't know, it's a little bit long, so maybe he did come prepared with that.
	Kind of reminds me of when you go to a nice restaurant or something and you're wearing a t-shirt.
	If they don't just show you the door, if they know you or something.
	Sir, we've got jackets here, in case you don't have a jacket, but a jacket is required.
	I guess somebody did that with him, but nobody did that to Zelensky.
	So we're going to take a break, and when we come back, we're going to talk about the EU army.
	We're going to talk about NATO and what is going to happen to that.
	And even the UN is coming up now, so we'll be right back.
	Hello, it's me, Volodymyr Zelensky.
	I'm so tired of wearing these same t-shirts everywhere for years.
	You'd think with all the billions I've skimmed off America, I could dress better.
	And I could if only David Knight would send me one of his beautiful grey MacGuffin hoodies or a new black t-shirt with the MacGuffin logo in blue.
	But he told me to get lost.
	Maybe one of you American suckers can buy me some at thedavidknightshow.com.
	You should be able to buy me several hundred those amazing sand-colored microphone hoodies are so beautiful.
	I'd wear something other than green military cosplay to my various galas and social events.
	If you want to save on shipping, just put it in the next package of bombs and missiles coming from the USA. Excellencies,
	ladies and gentlemen, your annual global risk report makes for a stunning and sobering read.
	For the global business community, the top concern for the next two years is not conflict or climate, it is disinformation and misinformation.
	Followed closely by polarization within our societies.
	In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
	You are listening to The David Knight Show.
	Yeah, and we're going to talk about her.
	She's had something to say about all this stuff.
	She hates free speech.
	She wants war.
	I mean, these people are beyond reprehensible.
	And one listener was laughing about the fact that she refers to Klaus Schwab as Herr Klaus instead of Herr Schwab.
	I don't know if that's a German term of endearment.
	It is strange for people who speak English.
	That's like saying, well, Mr. Donald, you know.
	That's pretty much what she did.
	I got an interesting couple of comments here.
	Junk Silver says, Good morning.
	Google refunded my $50 matching funds rant from last week.
	I didn't request this.
	Did this happen to anyone else?
	I'm not sure what you're talking about.
	We don't have anything with Google.
	I've been declared a non-person by the Google cartel.
	I'm not allowed on YouTube.
	They shut down my music channel on YouTube.
	I, you know, I can't log in.
	I can't log in and, you know, do anything on Google.
	So I'm not sure what that's about.
	Maybe you could let us know if that was regarding us or regarding somebody else.
	Nibiru2029 says wars are profitable for the aristocracy.
	No one else.
	That's right.
	All wars are bankers' wars because all wars are about money, folks.
	Banks, corporations, politicians.
	Not your interest at all.
	And that's all wars.
	KWD68, Zelensky is going to get whacked.
	I don't know.
	We'll see what happens.
	There's a lot of conspiracies out there saying Zelensky was the one who was behind the Butler assassination attempt.
	I don't believe there was a Butler assassination attempt, so there you go.
	That's my take on it.
	OctoSpook, every single member of elected government is Uniparty.
	They grew tired of prosecutions for their crimes long ago and now only protect each other.
	And screw average Americans.
	I agree.
	Arisha M., I watched it all in person when I worked for the local government.
	Now you know why I have zero respect for any of them, regardless of the R or D emblem they sport.
	Yeah, we need to get a t-shirt that says, Restoring Distrust in Government, the David Knight Show.
	DG8, that was Whistler's idea.
	DG8, thank you for the tip.
	He says, David, this is so staged.
	Even the Saturday Night Live version of this looked more real than that real thing.
	Trump even stated, this is made for TV. The whole world is a stage.
	Well, I agree.
	Whatever they wanted to do, I do think that Trump was genuinely angry, though.
	And I think it is, you know, his, hopefully, in this particular case, his petty narcissism will work to our advantage.
	That's kind of my take on it.
	So, how Donald Trump has brought a European army one step closer.
	Now, normally I would say, fine, let them have their wars, do their own thing, I don't care.
	We've already been drug into two wars in Europe, and we don't need to get drug into World War III in Europe.
	And Zelensky is out there boasting about how he doesn't need American money.
	You know, he's got, well, first of all, It's just a week or so ago.
	He was saying, well, they say that I got $177 billion.
	Well, I only got $77 billion.
	I don't know where that other $100 billion is.
	I was like, well, check your wife's bank account, okay?
	Shell corporations that she created.
	She's got enough shell corporations.
	It's like a Madriowski doll.
	And she uses that to buy luxury properties and other things.
	Going on the shopping trip in Paris.
	Spending $50,000 in an hour.
	You don't know where the $100 billion are?
	I know where I would start looking.
	Maybe Musk will figure it out.
	And expose this stuff.
	But he's saying, well, you know.
	They say we got 177, and I only got 77 of it.
	I don't know where the other 100 is.
	But we've got $250 billion of Russian assets that Europe could give me.
	Good.
	Give us $250 billion, which are here in Europe, frozen Russian assets.
	No answer.
	Okay, so there you go.
	Give it to us.
	He wants those frozen assets.
	He wants them put in the microwave and sent to him.
	So, yeah.
	Audi Modern Retro Radio.
	The squabble between Trump and Zelensky was scripted.
	Well, who knows?
	I mean, that's not my take on it, but I think the Butler thing was scripted.
	This, I don't know.
	It certainly looked to me like he was angry, but he's a good actor.
	He's a good actor.
	He's done a lot of world...
	WWE wrestling.
	So maybe it was.
	So this is the Telegraph.
	It says, Trump's public attack on Zelensky has given impetus to plans to have a joint EU fighting force that could one day become the embryo of a European army.
	Now, here's the thing.
	Whether or not the fight was scripted, the bottom line is that Trump wants to get out of this.
	He wants to have a win.
	I think he'd like to get the Nobel Peace Prize like...
	Like Obama, that isn't going to happen.
	And, you know, if he ends it and he actually does get peace there, it'll make them all the more mad at him because they want war.
	But he wants war for Israel, on the side of Israel against Iran.
	That's why I think he wants to get out of this one way or the other.
	And so whatever the motivation was for this, whether it was organic or scripted, I think that he does want to get out of this.
	And so then the question becomes, what do the Europeans want?
	Well, the Europeans are dead set on war.
	And so now they've got to, you know, you want war?
	Well, you and what army?
	What army?
	Who's got the army?
	You got an army left?
	No, I don't have an army either.
	And these people have not only disarmed themselves, he's a perfect example of what welfare does to you, right?
	When it comes to defense, all the European countries have been on American welfare for 80 years.
	And they've become completely dependent and helpless.
	That's the whole point of all welfare.
	That's the point of universal basic income, is to make you even more helpless after they take your job.
	And so all welfare, including state welfare, makes everybody dependent.
	And now they've done something even worse to themselves.
	Worse to themselves.
	And that is all of this climate change stuff.
	They have de-industrialized.
	And they're very proud of it.
	And they've shut down their factories.
	They've shut down their energy.
	You're going to start building tanks using power from solar panels?
	After you shut down your coal?
	Shut down your gas stuff?
	They're shutting down all of the industry.
	They don't even want to make cars anymore.
	How are they going to make tanks?
	Are they going to forget about the emissions of tanks?
	We're going to forget about the emissions of jets and bombers and all the rest of the stuff.
	But they don't have...
	Their energy is too expensive.
	They shut everything down.
	I mean, that's the key.
	These are countries that are just circling the drain.
	These European countries.
	So they think they're going to go out and equip an army?
	European leaders are scrambling to boost their collective defense.
	The crisis has increased calls to ensure Europe can act independently of Washington.
	Good.
	Good.
	I'd say that's fine.
	Just remember, we don't want to have anything to do with these entangling alliances that have been going on for centuries.
	And the wars that have been going on for centuries.
	Spain's foreign minister this week urged plans for a joint rapid reaction force.
	5,000 soldiers.
	Oh, that should do it.
	They've been...
	They've been protected and kept for so long, they don't even understand what they need anymore.
	So Zelensky says, I really believe the time has come for the armed forces of Europe must be created, you know, for a nuclear war.
	And that was one of the things that, you know, in the exchange, when he says, well, you're very lucky you've got an ocean here, you know, but the war's going to be coming to you.
	And Trump says, who are you to say that?
	You're trying to start World War III. So, we'll see.
	Germany's new chancellor-in-waiting, Friedrich Mertz.
	I saw this and I rolled on the floor laughing.
	This is how serious Germany is.
	Their chancellor-in-waiting is Fred Mertz.
	Is the first lady going to be Ethel?
	Lucy, you've got some spleening to do here.
	So Fred Mertz.
	Said after his victory last week that Europe had to make itself independent from the U.S. and warned that NATO could be dead by June.
	Let's hope so.
	I don't think it's had a pulse for quite some time, as it is.
	It's been a life support from the U.S. for the last 80 years.
	It's just a shell.
	They want to imagine that they're partners in this thing.
	They never were.
	Never were.
	He told reporters it's five minutes to midnight for Europe after suggesting that Germany could ask for the shelter of Britain and France's nuclear deterrent.
	This is a German guy.
	So they've got nuclear weapons and we don't.
	So Fred Mertz's opinion matters.
	And as they say in this article from The Telegraph, It'll come as music to the ears of Emmanuel Macron, who may be enjoying his I told you so moment.
	Back in 2018, Macron declared that Europe could not be protected without a true European army.
	The comments came after Jean-Claude Juncker, Ursula Fond of Lyng's predecessor as commission president, had called for an EU army in 2015. Remember that?
	When the Brexit thing was going on?
	And one of the things that the Brexit people were saying is, they want to create an EU army.
	This is a nation state they're trying to absorb everything else.
	It's like, oh, you finally caught on to that, did you?
	After they replaced your currencies and all the rest of the stuff, you're finally catching on to what's going on with this?
	And they all said, no, no, no, we're not doing this.
	I said, yeah, you are.
	And then after Brexit, they admitted it.
	And now they're pushing for this.
	After the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, Macron and fond of lying, Ursula, pushed for the creation of a joint rapid reaction force.
	The idea was this 5,000-strong unit would mean that the EU would never again be solely dependent on the U.S. and the crisis zones of the future.
	A 5,000-man army.
	Europe's nightmare is here.
	Why they have to now fight Putin without the U.S. This is from Financial Post of the U.K. That's their headline.
	Headline from Zero Hedge.
	U.K., France, Ukraine agree to work on a ceasefire plan to present to the U.S. Well, hey, if you guys are big boys now, put on your big boy pants.
	You don't need to have our permission, do you?
	You need us?
	Yeah, let's see if they'll buy this.
	Literally, they mean, buy this.
	It's our money, our weapons, our soldiers.
	That's NATO. They have nothing to do with it.
	And unfortunately, it's our military-industrial complex that is pushing us into war after war after war.
	So maybe they want a military-industrial complex.
	The problem is that they've shut down their industrial complex.
	It's kind of hard to have a military-industrial complex when you've destroyed your industrial complex over this climate garbage.
	And over your welfare state.
	You know, they got a free ride for years and years.
	Trump posted on his Truth Social account a quote from Gartner analyst Michael McCoon, according to whom Zelensky now has, quote, no choice but to back down and to accept Trump's terms, suggesting that Trump clearly is content with the outcome of Friday's debacle in the White House.
	Unfortunately, you know, this may just be, you know, if it is a strategy.
	He may be doing this to make this go through, which means that, again, they get to rob us and use our military.
	So I hope it was organic.
	Maybe I'm just imposing that because I want that to be true.
	I want this to be an offended narcissist who's going to vindictively shut down NATO and the UN. We can always dream, right?
	Starmer says UK is ready to put boots on the ground in Ukraine.
	Will he have any soldiers with those boots?
	Is he going to send in sheets, too?
	He's going to send in boots and sheets and beds and tents.
	While visiting Trump in the White House last week on Thursday, Keir Starmer said he was ready to, quote, put boots on the ground in Ukraine to provide security guarantee as part of a potential future peace agreement.
	And they also mean, he also said, and planes in the air.
	Well, let's take a look at this.
	Let's look at the UK versus Russia.
	How does that stack up?
	Let's do a reality check on Keir Starmer.
	Well, Russia has got significantly more military personnel than the UK. Russia has approximately 1.5 million military personnel, while the UK has around 212,000.
	This means that Russia has about seven times more military personnel than the UK. But that's okay, because they're putting together a rapid force of 5,000.
	5,000.
	A one and a half million army.
	The odds are a bit stacked.
	But it gets even worse when you go down the equipment, which again, remember that Keir Starmer, especially Keir Starmer of the Labour Party, de-industrializing the UK. And so take a look at the equipment when it comes to combat aircraft.
	Russia has nine times more.
	1,900 versus 222. When it comes to attack helicopters, Russia has 1,655.
	The UK's got 66. They got 25 times more attack helicopters.
	How about battle tanks?
	Russia has 22,700.
	The UK's got 227. A hundred times more than the UK. Now, this may have changed somewhat during the Ukraine thing.
	And that's one of the reasons why you had people like Lindsey Graham and Chris Christie say, this is great.
	You know, we're using up some of the massive Russian military equipment.
	There's always a proxy war, wasn't it?
	How about their budget?
	Russia spends 50% more than the UK. Seems like they're getting a lot more bang for their buck.
	Only 50% more?
	And look at how much equipment they've got.
	But the EU is definitely going to militarize, as I said.
	We had Ursula fond of lying.
	She held a press conference talking about the EU meeting that's coming up on March 7th this week.
	And here's where she's making big statements.
	About the EU army.
	We urgently have to rearm Europe.
	And for that I will present a comprehensive plan how to rearm Europe on the 6th of March when we have our European Council to deliver this.
	At what level of spending should individual countries make to defence?
	One thing is very strong.
	We have to have a surge in defence.
	We really have to step up massive the defence expenditure.
	And for that we need a clear big plan from the European Union for the member states and of course for common European domains like for example advanced air shields we need a common European approach but also the member states need more fiscal space.
	To do a search in defence.
	Have you won the argument with European colleagues about stepping up to the plate?
	Absolutely.
	We all have understood that after a long time of underinvestment, it is now of utmost importance to step up the defence investment for a prolonged period of time.
	It's for the security of the European Union.
	And we need, in the strategic environment in which we live, to prepare for the worst and therefore stepping up the defences.
	What message would you like to give to America after today's meeting?
	We are ready, together with you, to defend democracy, to defend the principle that there is rule of law that you cannot invade your neighbor and to defend the principle that there is rule of law that you cannot invade your neighbor and bully your neighbor Oh, so that's the only rule of law she's concerned about.
	The only rule of law she's concerned about.
	You can't change borders by force.
	But when it comes to rule of law, like, you know, free speech and other things, they're the ones who are going to rule you with their laws.
	What contemptible people they are.
	So, yeah, going back to this, in terms of Corvette warships.
	The Soviet Union has 18 times more than the UK, which is really pretty surprising when you think about the fact that the UK is, you would expect them to have some kind of parity with naval stuff, but no, not there either.
	Nuclear submarines.
	Russia's got 33, the UK's got 11. Regular submarines, other submarines, 17 additional submarines by Russia, zero by the UK. They only got 11. Nuclear subs, no other subs.
	Paramilitary personnel, 449,000 in Russia, zero in the UK. Per capita, they have 10 people per 1,000, three times more than the UK. So, again, all this talk about NATO. NATO is nothing except the U.S. You know, going up against Russia.
	And the people running NATO still want to do that.
	And look, NATO's been very dangerous.
	You go back to Operation Gladio.
	You know, the NATO people that were there and Lyman Limitzer, who tried to push the Cuban advantage, push for Operation Northwoods, which is an early version of 9-11, a false flag attack to get us drug into a war with Cuba.
	JFK fired him.
	He was head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
	So he goes to Europe.
	He runs NATO, and he runs Operation Gladio, another false flag attack.
	They did terrorist attacks, saying that it was communist provocateurs, but it was NATO. Using stores of arms that they had set up in NATO, just in case they were overrun in a lightning invasion by Russia or whatever, but it was actually NATO that was shooting and killing people.
	They kidnapped the Italian Prime Minister, Aldo Moro.
	Henry Kissinger sent Alex Jones' big pal, Steve Pachenik, over to negotiate.
	Pachenik, according to an Italian investigation, ordered that Aldo Moore be executed, the Prime Minister, because he figured out what was happening.
	That's NATO. NATO in a nutshell.
	And it is a nutshell.
	You look at what Kubrick should have done for Dr. Strangelove.
	Instead of having a crazy general who was whacked out over the fact that they're putting fluoride in our water, and he was actually right about that, he should have had NATO start this.
	Somebody like General Limitzer started this thing.
	That would have been more accurate.
	Starting World War III, that's what these people want to do.
	I mean, they've all become real-life Jack D. Ripper and imagining threats where there are none.
	Of course, Jack D. Ripper was wise enough to know that fluoride was a threat to our bodily fluids and our intellect as well.
	Mike Lee, Senator Mike Lee, is calling for exit from NATO after a Norwegian fuel company stops refueling U.S. military ships.
	Isn't this interesting, you know, how petty this all gets?
	It's like a lot of schoolyard taunts and everything, just like you saw in the Oval Office.
	That's how they start these big, big wars where millions of people die.
	It's over petty squabbles like that, isn't it?
	Mike Lee called for the U.S. to have NATO in response, to leave NATO in response to a Norwegian fuel company, deciding to stop refueling U.S. military ships.
	Lee wrote on X, he said, Europe does not love us.
	Let's leave NATO. He said they've stripped refueling the U.S. Navy ships.
	In a statement issued by the company Haltbach Bunkers, This Norwegian company said they would, quote, no longer supply American military ships in Norway or those docking in Norwegian ports, adding that the U.S. was, quote, excluded based on their behavior toward Ukraine.
	The company also wrote no fuel to Americans and encouraged other countries to follow suit.
	Well, again, you know, one of the things that we look at the trade imbalance with Europe, that they really want to escalate.
	This tariff war.
	I mean, they've got a real advantage with the U.S. We buy a lot more from them than they buy from us.
	And what really has them concerned is that President Musk weighed in on this.
	Strikes fear into Europe after agreeing that the U.S. should leave both NATO and the U.N. I 100% agree.
	I don't care what their motivations are.
	It happens.
	But, of course, the next president, the next administration can put us right back in.
	It'd be nice to be out for a little bit.
	Musk has sparked fear in the heart of the European establishment after he spoke out in support of the U.S. leaving both the U.N. and NATO. Thomas Massey joined in the call, of course.
	Now, Thomas Massey is always on the right side.
	Call NATO a Cold War relic that needs to be relegated to a talking kiosk.
	At the Smithsonian.
	Mike Lee also said something similar to that.
	He said he's called the organization a Cold War relic himself and argued that it offers a great deal for Europe, but a raw deal for America.
	Well, when we come back, we're going to talk about some of the other things that happened over the weekend that didn't get as much attention, but are going to have probably a more immediate effect on our life.
	The Bitcoin Reserve, and yet it's not a Bitcoin Reserve.
	He's talking about doing a lot of different crypto things here.
	And I see it as a pump and dump.
	So we're going to talk about that when we come back.
	Some of the comments before we take a break.
	Atomic Dog says, yes, David, I watched the full video and I thought Trump was going to stand up and square off with a little dictator.
	First time I've seen Trump show his anger.
	He actually shoved him.
	Put his hand on him and shoved him.
	And somebody got a good anger.
	I didn't.
	Put it in the deck here.
	Somebody got a good angle from the side, and you can see it better than you can when you look straight on.
	You can see when it looks straight on, it looks like he put his hand on him.
	But when you look at it from the side, you see Zelensky move on with a little dictator when he got shot.
	OneArmSteve420 says, Hello all, I'm strongly on the side of Russia in this conflict.
	We started it with NATO and the EU. Russia should take what they want and let the rest become sovereign, quote-unquote, Ukraine again.
	Yeah, that's always been the thing.
	Ukraine was a part of Russia for so long that, you know, when I first started talking about this, I called it the Ukraine.
	It was a region of Russia.
	And I don't know why anybody in Ukraine would want to be a part of Russia after Stalin.
	And the hallowed more that he put on, you know, I talked about that in terms of our government trying to shut down our food supply.
	But they always do that.
	You know, it's a sure sign of an authoritarian government when they do things to destroy your food supply deliberately.
	Stalin did it to the Ukraine, the bread basket.
	He created starvation in the bread basket.
	Mao did it in China with his great leap forward, and now we've got the USDA doing it to us here at home.
	But, you know, whatever.
	I mean, they've got long ties to the area.
	And I thought it was funny when the whole thing began.
	You had the British defense minister said, well, we beat Russia and Crimea once before.
	We'll beat them there again.
	It's like, oh, so you do have some understanding that Crimea was part of Russia during the Crimean War.
	You were not fighting with or against Ukrainians.
	You were fighting against Russia.
	He knows at least that much history, even though he's lying to you about everything else that's going on.
	DG-8.
	So, David, it's our fault.
	Zelensky looked like a bum visiting the White House.
	We should have bought him a MacGuffin T-shirt, a sweatshirt.
	Would Fetterman wear a MacGuffin T-shirt?
	Who knows?
	He was in such bad shape when he was running.
	His head is clarified now.
	You've got some people on the right.
	I'm cheering him because now he can communicate, and it's pretty clear he's part of the Uni Party.
	And he's also, he's got a chance that he can run for higher office because he's fully on board for Israel.
	That's a prerequisite to tick the boxes there, I guess.
	Guard Goldsmith.
	Hey, good to see you, Guard.
	Liberty Conspiracy, and you can hear Guard every weeknight on X as well as on Rockfin.
	He said, did you hear that Zelensky met with Chris Murphy prior to meeting with Trump?
	I didn't hear that.
	And that Senator Murphy told him to sabotage the meeting.
	I didn't hear that either.
	Interesting, especially since Murphy is so closely tied to the coup in Ukraine and the work with the Nazis there.
	I have to look further into it, says Gard, but it's very interesting to see how it seems to have been set up to push for the Europeans to back Zelensky.
	Yeah, I mean, you know, when you look at this, I would say that if something was premeditated along those lines, It would be up to Zelensky to push that.
	You know, Trump was really kind of laying back there until, you know, and Zelensky just kept on going, right?
	So if anybody instigated something in a premeditated way, I would think that it would be Zelensky.
	Angry Tiger says, actually, David, there's a huge stir up in the community right now because Bitcoin wasn't listed in the crypto.
	People are going wild over it.
	I think he did a follow-up.
	We're going to talk about that.
	He did a follow-up and mentioned, of course, Bitcoin and Ethereum would be the heart of it.
	But when he put out his initial post, it was Ripple and it was two, I don't follow crypto.
	And it was two other crypto things that I'd never even heard of.
	I still don't know what they are because I didn't bother to look them up.
	They're all pump and dump scams as far as I'm concerned.
	And so we're going to talk about that very thing when we come back.
	But I was really surprised.
	I thought when he was talking about this stuff that he was going to do a reserve based on Bitcoin.
	And you could kind of understand that Ethereum would be thrown in there because it's kind of become a foundation for a lot of this other crypto stuff.
	They're piggybacked off of it.
	And, you know, for example, like on Rockfin, for example, the tips that go into Rockfin get put into their particular cryptocurrency.
	Don't ask me why.
	Yeah, I don't trust that.
	So now, you know, your tips come in in dollars and then I can't get them out unless I convert that crypto to Ethereum and then convert the Ethereum to dollars.
	It's like, you know, it's just all of this crypto stuff.
	It's just a scam.
	But that was not one of the currencies that he mentioned, but he's got a couple of others.
	So we're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back.
	Stay with us.
	Stay with us.
	Stay with us.
	Stay with us.
	Stay with us.
	Making sense.
	Common again.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	You know, as I'm watching that bumper there, scenes from the last of the Mohicans and the French and Indian War, where the French and Indians were not fighting each other, they were both fighting us.
	We were British at the time.
	And so I'm looking at that, and as we're talking about war, And I'm reminded of the comment from the Confederate soldier when the Union soldier says, he says, Sesh, why are you fighting?
	And he says, because you're here.
	And I think that that is, when we look at a just war, what is it that justifies a war?
	Well, it's when you are invaded.
	What is your purpose in the war?
	Well, your purpose, besides winning, your purpose is to try to end the conflict.
	So your purpose is to try to reestablish peace.
	And to try to avoid civilian casualties.
	We don't have those anymore, and we have preemptive wars.
	We go to war because of geopolitical strategies, not because we've been attacked, not because we've been invaded.
	And when you look at the people that are there in Ukraine, they say, well, we have a right to fight because we've been invaded by Russia.
	Yes, you do.
	The problem, though, is that if we go to the next Fourth Turning War, which was the Civil War, Of course, that wasn't the Revolutionary War.
	That was the French and Indian War.
	But if we go to the Civil War, the South fought when they were invaded.
	But you had Robert E. Lee when he realized that it was not possible to win against the odds that were there.
	They're insurmountable odds.
	They had unlimited resources.
	You know, the South fighting the North was kind of like Ukraine fighting Russia.
	It just wasn't going to happen.
	Unless they got an early victory, it wasn't going to happen.
	And after Gettysburg, it was clear it wasn't going to happen.
	They had hoped that Britain would come in on their side for additional resources, like France had.
	And so the choice that Robert E. Lee had was he could continue to fight to the very last Confederate soldier, as the people who are running this proxy war want them to fight to the very last Ukrainian.
	Or he could offer peace.
	And he did the right thing.
	Many people said, no, we should just keep this going as a guerrilla warfare.
	But he went for peace.
	There comes a point in time when a war becomes unjust if there's no possibility of winning it.
	So if somebody attacks you, you have a right of self-defense.
	But you need to make sure that you are not the aggressor.
	We have been the aggressor in all the wars since World War II. And you need to...
	Seek to end the fighting.
	You need to wear uniforms and other things like that so that you avoid civilian casualties.
	Now we do massive bombing campaigns on civilians.
	And of course, Ukraine did that as well to their own people.
	So, the way the wars are fought today, I can't support them.
	There's absolutely nothing just in them.
	And of course, part of that is to, and I've said this many times, about what is going on in Israel.
	October 7th doesn't excuse what is happening and has been happening for years.
	At some point, you've got to stop.
	The targeting of civilians, right there, wrong.
	But at some point, you've got to stop because you've got no opportunity to win your objective of getting the Hamas terrorists, for example.
	And I know there's a lot of people who believe that it was a false flag and all the rest of the stuff.
	I'm just talking about from the broad principles here, not the details.
	Even if the narrative is as put out there.
	I would say that they are not justified to continue this fight because they're not capable of achieving that objective.
	They're just slaughtering people at this point.
	So same thing is true in Ukraine.
	Let's talk about the Bitcoin Reserve stuff.
	As Angry Tiger said, it was really odd that when Trump put out his first post, He didn't mention Bitcoin.
	He didn't mention Ethereum.
	He mentioned XRP, which is Ripple, SOL, which is Solana, and Cardano's ADA. That's his symbol, ADA, as part of the Crypto Strategic Reserve.
	I looked at this, and like I said, I don't know what Solana is.
	I don't know what Cardano ADA is.
	I know that XRP is Ripple.
	I know that they, a few years ago, I had seen some stuff about them because they were trying to set up their cryptocurrency to do what Bitcoin's initial mission was.
	And that was not to be an asset that was held, but it was to be a medium of exchange.
	And when you look at what Trump is doing with Bitcoin Reserve, that's exactly what Roger Ver was talking about in the book that he co-wrote with...
	Another person.
	The fact that Bitcoin had been hijacked.
	Bitcoin was meant to be an honest medium of exchange that wouldn't be manipulated by the system.
	And yet now it has become an asset that people gamble with.
	And I say gamble because of its volatility.
	So the president later added Bitcoin and Ether.
	Ethereum, I think is what it is, but they say Ether.
	And he said it would be the heart.
	Of the reserve.
	Wow.
	You know, when you look at this, there was a Peter Schiff tweeted about that.
	He said, I get the rationale for a Bitcoin reserve.
	I don't agree with it, but I get it.
	He said, we have a gold reserve and Bitcoin is supposed to be digital gold, which is better than analog gold, they say.
	So let's create a Bitcoin reserve too.
	But what's the rationale for XRP? Being in the reserve.
	And he says, why would we need that?
	Why would we need these even more so?
	Why would we need these other two?
	But again, Trump says, it's the heart of the reserve.
	And so then he comes back and he says, well, I love Bitcoin and Ethereum.
	Crypto is spiking as Trump discusses strategic reserve ahead of the White House summit.
	And apparently, According to Zero Hedge, somebody was pretty confident about that occurring.
	They said somebody went 50 times long on Ethereum and Bitcoin with $200 million.
	$200 million bet.
	Does anybody know what Nancy Pelosi did this weekend?
	I don't know.
	This is either a very rich degenerate or a market maker that's about to move the market in a meaningful way on the spot side.
	They said, simply put, this looks like an insider March 7th confirmation of a U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserve is locked.
	Somebody has got some inside information, so they're putting a $200 million bet on this, knowing that it's not going to devolve into a shouting match like the Zelensky-Trump thing.
	So, going to move forward on a crypto strategic reserve that includes, said Trump, XRP, SOL, and ADL.
	I will make sure the U.S. is the crypto capital of the world.
	And so again, later on, he mentioned that Bitcoin and Ethereum would be the heart of the reserve.
	So I wonder how many of these things are going to be in there.
	Will the Melania coin be in there as well?
	Trump?
	How about the Libra coin that is the basis for some people trying to impeach?
	Javier Malay down in Argentina.
	Will that be in there as well?
	Trump has announced a crypto strategic reserve consisting of Bitcoin and other top cryptocurrencies.
	This is consistent with his first week executive order, writes David Sachs, who's also in on this.
	He's part of some of the crypto bros.
	Trump is keeping his promise to make U.S. the crypto capital of the world.
	More to come at the summit, which will be on the 7th.
	Four days from that, was that Friday?
	I guess, yeah.
	Trump will host the first White House Crypto Summit on March 7th, bringing together industry leaders to discuss regulatory policies, stablecoin oversight, and the potential role of Bitcoin in the U.S. financial system.
	You see, it's interesting to see how Trump and Biden pursue the same end with different means, isn't it?
	So the Biden-Democrat approach is in March of 2022 to say, well, I want everybody in all of government, the entire executive branch, I want you to report back to me in six months four different areas.
	How are you going to completely restructure the financial system?
	That was number one.
	Number two was, we're going to write the code.
	Number three, how are we going to use law enforcement to coerce people into doing this?
	And then number four was, and let's use the excuse of climate change.
	So give me excuses about climate change.
	Because we've got to say that Bitcoin and proof of work uses too much energy.
	Well, that all went out the door with AI, right?
	Nobody cares about that anymore.
	Now, you know, there's no concern at all about energy usage.
	As long as it's for spying on us and lying to us, which is what AI is about.
	So that's the Biden approach.
	Let's just, by fiat, we're going to completely restructure.
	We're going to have law enforcement get in and rubber hose people to death with this stuff.
	And we're going to concoct a lie on how to do it.
	And then, of course, the fourth one was he had to have somebody actually write the code.
	Now, the approach that Trump is going to take is let somebody else write the code in a private company, right?
	Not going to have the government do it.
	We'll do it all through corporations.
	And we'll do it all through a summit in the White House that you're not a part of that.
	You're not invited.
	Your elected representatives won't have a say in it.
	This will be something that Trump does with the corporations and the CEOs and the technocrats that are out there.
	They're going to put this thing through.
	And then they're going to persuade you to do it.
	They will offer some incentives, like Mike DeWine offered a possible, you might win a million dollars if you take the vaccine.
	Of course, you might also die or have your body destroyed.
	But, you know, you could win a million dollars.
	And so that'll be the Republican approach, is to do it through the private industry, do it through enticement, seduction, persuasion.
	Coercion, as opposed to do it or else, you know, which is the Democrat way.
	And quite frankly, I think that the Democrats are far less dangerous.
	Because when everyone comes up to you, points a gun in your face, and starts to, you understand what they're about.
	When the Republicans come in and portray it as just a free market operating.
	Yeah, these guys are...
	Making this stuff all free to themselves.
	They're helping themselves to a free stash that is there.
	So, this is going to be March 7th.
	Lutnik and pals will be there.
	And, you know, lucky Lutnik, who somehow missed all of that 9-11 stuff, you know.
	He and his pals are going to be at this meeting.
	They're going to be working out how they're going to collapse the economy like the Twin Towers and Building 7. It would be an inside job, folks.
	While the cryptocurrency industry has cheered news of a national stockpile, some economists have raised concerns about the proposal.
	They point to cryptocurrency's volatility, arguing that the government is purchasing cryptocurrency as a gamble.
	And it would primarily benefit existing crypto holders.
	That's how Lucky Lutnik makes his money and most of these guys around Trump.
	They get in there first, and then they pump it up.
	And then they dump it and they leave you holding the bag.
	I think it's something like, I forget how many billions of dollars people who bought Melania coin lost.
	They fleeced them for billions of dollars.
	You know, you go back and you look at the Stop the Steal garbage that he was doing.
	And the Save America.
	Stop the Steal was Alex Jones ripping people off and luring them into a dangerous situation.
	And Save America was Trump doing the same thing.
	And he only fleeced them for about $250 million.
	Just with the Melania coin, they've ripped people off for billions.
	It's lost over 90% of its value right away.
	But the people who put it together, just as Lutnik has done time and time again, Trump's commerce secretary, they make all their money up front.
	Mark Zandy, the chief economist at Moody's Analytics, said, I get why the crypto investors would love it.
	But other than the crypto investor, I don't see the value, particularly if taxpayers have to ante up.
	Well, think about this.
	If Trump is able to completely bankrupt the United States, and again, I don't know, we'll talk about this Fort Knox thing.
	That whole thing is another one of these, you know, we laugh about it.
	It's like, yeah, I'd love to see that.
	But of course, there's nothing real that's going to come out of that.
	The Fort Knox thing is going to be another Epstein files.
	Another JFK files, another 9-11 files.
	It's all hype and a nothing burger, right?
	It's just misdirection in theater.
	But the question is, what's the purpose of it?
	Yeah, he's playing to his audience like he does with the Epstein files and all the rest of this stuff.
	But I think that I'm not exactly sure how they're going to use this.
	But I think that they're going to use this Fort Knox thing.
	To undermine people's confidence in institutions, in the dollar, things like that.
	To try to move them to some new financial system.
	Because the whole purpose of everything that Trump and Musk are doing, even though I agree with some of the things that they're doing, in theory, if they are doing them, and again, I don't know if it's real or not, but if you're going to cut down government, You need to just shut these things down and say government should not have any role here.
	And you've got to also shut down the other programs out there, not just the bureaucracy, but you need to rethink the purpose of government and go back to a more foundational level, which they're not doing.
	I think they want to, again, get rid of the people that are in the government and replace them with artificial intelligence.
	And that's going to be a much worse system.
	Far more intrusive, far more controlling.
	So I'm very concerned about what's coming and how they're going to use this.
	And I feel the same way about this Fort Knox thing.
	I know that Musk and Trump and all the crypto boys want to put us into a crypto system that may be a part of it.
	One cryptocurrency that Trump's Sunday announcement did not name is Tether, which is pegged to the U.S. dollar, which is also pegged to Lucky Lutnik.
	Although he claims that he has divested himself from it.
	You know how that goes.
	It is notable because Trump's Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick, has ties to Tether with public reporting suggesting that Cantor Fitzgerald, which Lutner has long led, going back to even well before 9-11, helps to oversee the cryptocurrency's portfolio and recently struck a deal that could result in Cantor Fitzgerald getting a 5% ownership stake in Tether.
	Lutnik has resigned from Cantor Fitzgerald and said that he will divest from it as a result of his government role, but Democrats have criticized his company's involvement with Tether.
	And, of course, we know how that's going to work out.
	One cryptocurrency, again, that he didn't talk about is Tether, but when you look at these other ones, the bigger picture, I think, is from Freethought Project, Matt Agorist.
	And I like his headline.
	Banning CBDCs is a Trojan horse.
	Private coins, he says, are the only way forward.
	Well, I disagree with that.
	I do believe that banning CBDCs is a Trojan horse, and I've said that from the very beginning as well.
	He said, while Trump's recent executive order...
	Banned the creation of a U.S. CBDC. The forces pushing for global financial surveillance are far from retreating.
	Instead, what they're doing is they're relabeling and rebranding and all that.
	That's what he's saying.
	I've been saying this from the very beginning.
	I said this before the election.
	I said this when he started talking about having a Bitcoin reserve.
	I could see the contours lining there.
	And then, when you look at his cabinet, it validated everything about that.
	In other words, I looked at it like, well, I think this is what he's going to do.
	And I said it then.
	I said, I think they're going to come up with a public-private partnership form of CBDC. So it would be a PPPDC, a public-private partnership digital coin, rather than a central bank digital coin.
	And then when you look at the people that he brought into the administration, personnel, or policy, it's like, yep, that's what it's going to be.
	Absolutely going to be that.
	It's going to be a PPPDC digital currency.
	And so, going back to Matagoras, he says, entities like the World Economic Forum, the Atlantic Council, have embraced stablecoins.
	And again, that's Lutnik, king of the stablecoins.
	If you think banning a CBDC was enough to stop the financial surveillance grid from forming, think again.
	The powers that be are simply rebranding their takeover of digital finance, and the only real defense is decentralized private money.
	100% agree.
	And I've been saying that for a long time as well.
	But then he goes into a different direction than I would agree with.
	He said that's why privacy coins like Xano are more important than ever.
	I've never heard of it.
	Doesn't mean that it's not good.
	I'm just not interested in these digital games.
	How about gold?
	He doesn't even mention gold, which I think is kind of funny.
	So, yeah, you want privacy?
	You want private money?
	You want decentralized money?
	How about gold?
	See, the founders understood that.
	The founders understood the difference between some kind of a printed paper system, money being issued by the government.
	The government is not supposed to issue money.
	Money is supposed to be outside of the government.
	The government had the power to coin some of that money, but they're not setting the value of it in the Constitution.
	That's not what it was for.
	So he lists some points about Zano.
	It says it's the answer to financial tyranny.
	Well, let's take a look at the things here.
	It says, number one, privacy first.
	No more public ledgers.
	Okay, well, that's fine.
	Okay, it's a private coin.
	And, you know, I don't know, maybe Xano is like Monero.
	Maybe it's a spinoff of that.
	Pirate coin is another one that's a spinoff of that.
	I've interviewed the guys at the pirate coin thing a couple of times.
	But privacy first, no more public ledgers.
	Well, gold checks that.
	I mean, you've got to, at some point in time, get into gold, and at some point in time, you've got to get from a public bank account or something into Xano, but after that, it's private.
	But gold checks that as well.
	Decentralized tokenization with privacy.
	Well, I think gold fits that as well.
	It's not tokenized.
	I'm not a big fan of tokenization at all.
	And so, you know, gold, however, is decentralized and private.
	Unfortunately, it's not tokenized.
	And then you have number three.
	He says, hybrid proof of work and proof of stake.
	It's impossible to attack it, he says.
	So, I think it's interesting that when you talk about proof of stake versus proof of work.
	The attack on Bitcoin in Biden's war plan was going to attack it because you had to do work.
	And if you do work, if you have computers that are out there doing processing transactions and mining, that's going to use energy and that's going to burn the environment down, right?
	Of course, they don't have any problem, and I said it at the time, they don't have any problem when the CIA does it, when they have these massive data centers out in the middle of the desert, using up all the water, enough water for a city in the middle of the desert in Utah.
	It's like, what's going on with that?
	And the amount of power, enough power for a city.
	And those things have been around for a long time.
	But they never would focus on that.
	That was a hypocrisy.
	And then it became a real glaring hypocrisy with the AI data centers.
	So that's proof of work.
	So what they proposed with CBDC was, we're going to do proof of stake.
	I'm a stakeholder.
	So it's worth whatever I say it's worth.
	You know, you're back to fiat and declarations, right?
	Interesting that the abbreviation for proof of stake is POS, which happens to be a pejorative term for people who put this kind of stuff together.
	Politicians are POS. Lutnik and Besnik and Trump, all POS. So the same people who are fighting to outlaw privacy coins are the same ones going after people like Roger Ver, he says.
	And I agree.
	A man whose crime was to dare to promote financial freedom.
	But again, there's going to be financial freedom as long as it's digital.
	I think it has to be analog.
	If you want real financial privacy, it's very important to have that.
	I think it has to be analog.
	We're going to talk to a Catherine Austin Fitz, not today, but tomorrow we've got her coming on to talk about this because she's got a lot to say about this.
	Had her on before.
	We're going to talk about it some more tomorrow.
	The European Digital Identity Wallet is coming soon.
	This is from Off Guardian in the UK. Well, yeah, in Europe they're going to do that, but of course Musk has already proposed that globally, certainly for the U.S. He's got a digital wallet.
	And all the stuff that is said about what is happening with the EU and the European digital wallet, it's all being done by the Baphomet billionaire Elon Musk here.
	The elite are already running large-scale pilot schemes.
	They're not being subtle about this.
	They are not hiding it at all.
	The plan is a single government-issued app that holds your medical records, your employment records, your travel records, your education records, your vaccination records, your tax records, your financial records.
	As well as potentially copies of your signature, fingerprints, facial scans, voice samples, and your DNA. And this is all laid out.
	I've played this several times, and I'm going to play it again for you today.
	But remember the video, Ukraine 2030. And they put it out shortly after the 2022 invasion by Russia.
	And they said, well...
	2030, we will have won the war and we will set up this digital system.
	And look, it's going to be so easy.
	All your interaction with the government is just going to be with this app, you know, to go to the DMV or to do this or to pay your taxes.
	This is like, you know, all of these are things that I don't even really want to do.
	And so now you're promising that you're going to make it a little bit easier for me by making it all digital so that you can have even more control and more governance over me.
	You're going to extend your governance over me.
	And so that has been the European, NATO, American view.
	That's why they put that out.
	Ukraine 2030. Let's show the world how we're going to do this.
	And so, Elon Musk is trying to set the same thing up on X. And of course, Zuckerberg's got his version of it.
	We've got a whole bunch of people that are working on their own separate versions.
	And they can all exist.
	Concurrently, just like you got MasterCard and Visa or whatever.
	And, of course, Musk has already made an agreement with Visa.
	MasterCard is making agreements with governments and with other entities that are out there.
	So all of these corporations, all of these tech billionaires are working together to create their own PPPDC, public-private partnership digital currency.
	As he starts talking about this, he says none of this is hypothetical.
	He says just one of the pilot schemes is, quote, building prototypes and testing use cases for the European digital identity wallet.
	And there are three others, at least.
	He says this is dating back to the birth of COVID, the EUID wallet being touted since 2021. He said, a couple of days ago, he says, this was brought again to my attention when I stumbled on the article, why would you need an EU wallet?
	And he said, this guy is an apparatchik, you know, who is out there pushing this, just like you've got people.
	You know, why do you need a measles vaccine?
	Well, we're going to make a case for it, right?
	And so, they're already starting with all the puff pieces here, about how it's going to simplify your life and improve everything for you.
	A fairly good example of the kind of thing that you can expect to see more widely in a bigger mainstream outlets as we get closer and closer to the full-scale implementation of the European Union's ID. It talks up the costs of fraud and how digital ID schemes will make everything so much safer and so much more efficient.
	But it bemoans the lack of harmonization across borders and systems.
	All standard stuff.
	So we're going to have to create all these independent systems, but eventually...
	Like Highlander, there can only be one, right?
	So you've got to, you know, merge all these things.
	There'll be one ring to rule them all.
	They may let some of the Nazgul have a piece of the action for a while, but eventually it's going to be one ring to rule them all.
	Now, when we get back to Bitcoin and the National Reserve, the Swiss National Bank president doesn't think that's a good idea.
	He said that it's too volatile.
	It lacks sufficient liquidity to be a reserve asset.
	The reason he's speaking out on this is because they have set up a, in Switzerland, they have proposed a referendum, they're gathering signatures for this, to make Bitcoin a reserve.
	And so the president of the Swiss National Bank doesn't like that idea.
	Again, he says a lack of stability and a lack of liquidity, as well as security risks.
	He says cryptocurrencies are too volatile.
	Yes.
	He said our reserves need to be highly liquid as well so that they can be used quickly for monetary policy purposes if needed.
	I think that volatility is what he's talking about in conjunction with liquidity, right?
	If it's jumping up and down 5% or 10%, it's like, ooh, should I wait and buy it or sell it or whatever, you know?
	He said, and we all know...
	The software can have bugs and other weak points.
	Last time I talked to Catherine Austin Fitch, she was talking about that.
	She said, already people made the case that there's some bugs that have been exploited in Bitcoin that allow it to leak.
	When you talk about, let's put everything into the digital realm, have we seen anything that is secure there?
	I mean, they have hacked into the Pentagon.
	They've hacked into the CIA, and they stole and published the CIA's hacking tools.
	How's that?
	They went into the burglar's office and stole the burglar's tools.
	Where the CIA, Vault 7, where the CIA can break into their manual, and even the software code was released.
	The manual showing how they can hack and how they can pretend to be anybody that they want to.
	You know, the NSA, the CIA can pretend to be Russia or China or anybody, right?
	And now everybody's got those tools.
	Well, we've had the U.S. government has been broken into, the military has been broken into, our spies have been broken into, the Federal Reserve has been broken into, corporations have been broken into.
	There isn't anything that's secure when it's on the Internet.
	Don't listen to them when they tell you that it's secure because it's blockchain.
	And of course, Musk wants blockchain to be the basis of our government.
	Blockchain and AI. I tell you, if that happens, it's going to be literal chains.
	Literal chains on all of us.
	The Swiss Central Bank president added that he doesn't see Bitcoin or crypto potentially dethroning the Swiss franc either.
	He said, we're not afraid of competition from cryptocurrencies.
	This was set in motion by the Swiss Federal Chancellery.
	They have a referendum about it.
	They'll need to have 100,000 signatures, but they have until June of 2026. So they've got a year and a half to get 100,000 signatures to put it on the ballot.
	And then there'll be a referendum as to whether or not they want to go digital on their reserves.
	Despite the bank...
	President's criticism, Switzerland is one of the leading countries for Bitcoin adoption, particularly in the city of Lugano, where the annual plan Bitcoin conference is held.
	A Bitcoin reserve is currently being considered in the U.S., in the Czech Republic, and in Hong Kong, while El Salvador continues to stack at least one Bitcoin to its treasury, which was launched in September of 2021. And again, as I said, Musk wants to run the government off a blockchain.
	That will make it so much more efficient, so much more secure.
	So the gold in Fort Knox.
	As Mises says, you know, what is this really about?
	Because it doesn't back the dollar.
	It doesn't back anything else either.
	So Mises says, I'm all in favor of thorough and public audit of the U.S. gold reserves, including the gold not only at Fort Knox, but also at the other gold storage facilities at West Point, Denver, and the New York Federal Reserve Bank.
	Now, isn't that interesting?
	Here's the dog that didn't bark.
	When Musk and Trump talk about auditing the gold, do they talk about West Point, Denver, New York Fed?
	No, they talk about Fort Knox.
	Why?
	Because this is just a dog and pony show for the feeble-minded, for their followers.
	Oh, they'll understand that there's gold at Fort Knox, or at least they're supposed to be.
	And so, you know, they can use that for whatever their purposes are going to be.
	But if they really wanted to do a gold audit, if they really wanted to audit the Federal Reserve, right, there's other things that they'd be doing.
	But they're going to focus on this.
	That is the tell right there to let you know that this is all just a show.
	And then the question we can all speculate as to what their purpose is with this.
	Mises says, virtually everything the U.S. government owns is stolen.
	Yep, yep.
	Whether it's stolen from Americans or whether it's stolen from foreign individuals and from foreign institutions.
	Says, we already know the Fed makes secret loans and obstinately refuses to make public.
	So an audit is very much in order.
	All that said, however, let's not overstate the importance of the U.S. gold reserve.
	The gold reserve is not a source of untapped wealth that can be used to balance the budget, to pay off the federal debt, or to fix the U.S.'s current downward spiral.
	And to fiscal insolvency.
	At only $750 billion.
	In other words, if they've got it all that they claim to have, it'd only be $750 billion.
	We're $35 trillion in debt.
	Now, when Tony Arterman talks about this, when we talk about it, we've said many times, what that illustrates is our detachment from reality.
	And that's the key thing to take away from this.
	So he says the gold reserve is too small to bring us into fiscal solvency.
	But it is a leverage point.
	Because as I pointed out last week, I think it was on Friday that I talked about this sovereign wealth fund.
	And the fact that we got Doug Burgum, who is now Interior Secretary.
	And in charge of the public lands that have also been stolen from the American people that they don't have any congressional or constitutional authority to own.
	And so when you look at that, and Doug Burgum says, these are our assets.
	And Scott Besson's saying, yeah, we've got to put these assets to work, meaning we're going to make money from these assets.
	They're going to make money from the public lands by liquidating them to the highest bidder, perhaps.
	Who knows what they're going to do?
	It'll be more than just the contracts because they're selling the contracts now.
	And like I said before, On public land, you can have multiple uses.
	It can be a public park.
	It can also have logging resources.
	It can have mineral resources, mining rights.
	It can have grazing and water rights, and all these other things can be there.
	So they're not interested in that.
	There's something far deeper about this.
	And when we look at the fact that we've only got $750 billion in gold, but we've got $35 trillion in debt, they said, well, yeah, but we've got $200 trillion worth of public lands that we could sell off.
	That's where I think this is going, and I think that's the purpose of the Fort Knox audit.
	It's to show, to get people to not trust the institutions, perhaps, or to show that it's not big enough to cover the...
	I don't know exactly how they're going to operate, but I think it's going to play a part in chaos.
	I think it's going to play a part in further eroding people's confidence in the institutions, which is a hallmark of every fourth turning.
	It's a fourth turning where everything gets changed.
	Why?
	Because people are fed up with the institutions.
	They can see how they don't work.
	And boy, this is a big, big, big reveal and discredit and chaos being done by Elon Musk and Trump.
	They're going to be accelerating this trend of distrust of the institutions.
	They're pulling back the curtain and showing everybody the mess that's in there.
	And I think that Fort Knox will be part of that.
	Be a part of, hey, look, this is a rat's nest in here.
	And I guess you know when we think about it.
	You can think about the Federal Reserve fiat currency as perhaps that was the original derivative.
	You know, it was, yeah, we're going to base it on gold or whatever, right?
	These are paper notes that we have been redeemable and go, well, not anymore.
	We're not going to redeem it in gold and everything.
	But it's very similar in a lot of respects to paper gold and paper silver that you see out of the Shanghai Gold Exchange.
	You can't actually redeem that.
	What you're doing is you're buying shares in the fund that's called GLD or the other one's called SLV. You're buying shares in those.
	You're not buying shares of gold or silver.
	Now, they promise that they are buying gold and silver and that they hold some of it, but there's no one-to-one correlation.
	That's why they don't move together, why the spot price of gold and silver.
	Move independent of the ETFs like gold and silver, what we call paper gold and silver.
	Well, you know, that's a long tradition that has been around since the Federal Reserve.
	You know, first beginning to tell everybody, oh, yeah, look, it's backed by gold and silver.
	And then it's like, well, not really.
	And now it's like, oh, we don't even care.
	We're just trading the symbols that are out there.
	And I guess we're all ready for the crypto symbols that are coming at us.
	The gold reserve does not provide backing for the U.S. dollar, for U.S. treasuries, or for any other asset that one might possess.
	The value of the U.S. dollar is determined by supply and demand as it floats freely against other unbacked currencies.
	The gold in the vaults is of little importance in this respect.
	Strangely, however, as the calls for a gold audit have heated up within the Trump administration, one encounters an increasing number of columns and comments inflating the importance of the gold reserve.
	Not surprisingly, much of this commentary comes from organizations that promote gold as an investment asset or gold mining as an industry.
	It says, let's say that 25% of the gold reserve has been stolen.
	That would mean that the value of the gold in the reserves is about $567 billion instead of $757 billion.
	The U.S. economy totals $30 trillion.
	If the federal gold hoard dropped 25%, the U.S. gold reserve would drop from being the size of 2.5% of the U.S. economy to 1.9% of the economy.
	But I think that the other issue is that, again, it would further undermine confidence in institutions.
	And that is really the purpose of the Trump administration at this point.
	They're building confidence in themselves, right?
	Think about it, this con game.
	What Trump and Musk are doing is building confidence in Trump and Musk.
	And they're building skepticism and distrust of the institutions.
	And I would just say distrust everybody.
	Distrust the institutions.
	Distrust Musk.
	Distrust Trump.
	And gold we trust, right?
	And God we trust.
	But all others pay gold.
	To paraphrase the whole thing, right?
	So, who knows what they're going to do?
	I know I just want to...
	I'm so sick and tired of these scams.
	Scams like Lucky Lutnik and scams like Trump and his Trump coin and his Melania coin and everything.
	I'm sick to death of these con games.
	I just don't understand people who want to participate in this and who aren't skeptical of this.
	So, again, I think it's just a PR thing.
	I think this Fort Knox thing is like the Epstein files.
	It's like the JFK files.
	It's like the 9-11 files.
	We all know that it's rotten to the core, and you're not going to get any real information about any of that stuff.
	You know, the gold, it may be there, it may not.
	I can tell you that the information that they hope is going to be released about 9-11 and about the Epstein files and about JFK, I can tell you that information's not there at all.
	That's been removed maybe by the same people that stole all the gold.
	Who knows?
	Don't frag me, bro, says, CCP is just the pilot program government they want for the world under their 24-7 full spectrum social credit scoring, VAX, passport, biometric, digital ID surveillance system.
	Call it Skynet, he says.
	Yeah, I've said for a long time that China is the beta test.
	It's the beta test for everything.
	Beta test for depopulation going back to, again, Kissinger.
	He opened everything up to China with Nixon.
	He even had Stephen Sondheim.
	He did all the Broadway shows and everything.
	Stephen Sondheim even did a horrible, horrible Broadway, I guess.
	I can't say.
	I never heard any of it.
	Never paid attention to it.
	I just thought, what a horrible idea.
	Of course, he also wrote the lyrics with Leonard Bernstein for West Side Story.
	But he did a lot of very inventive things, like A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.
	But he also did one about the Demon Barber's Fleet Street, Sweeney Todd.
	You know, how do you do a musical number about a barber who slipped people's throats and turned them into meat pies, you know?
	And so along those lines, he did...
	One about Nixon-Kissinger and the opening to China.
	So, I mean, you know, yeah, I guess kind of the same vein as Sweeney Todd.
	But, yeah, from the very beginning, even when they opened it up, they knew they were going to use China for slave labor.
	They knew they were going to transfer all of our energy as well as industry to China, which is now well accomplished.
	And how they were going to use it as a test bed, a beta test site, for all of this social credit stuff.
	Absolutely.
	KWD-68.
	A well-placed EMP and your strategic reserve is gone.
	Digital currency is bad.
	Okay, yeah, I agree.
	Ephesians 6.12.
	Trump crypto reserves making America great again.
	Coming from the man that owns physical gold.
	Yeah, everything around him is gilded, isn't it?
	You know, it's either real gold or looks like gold.
	I mean, maybe with his money, maybe all that stuff is not just gold paint.
	But he loves gold, and yet he's going to sell you crypto.
	And just remember that crypto, so many times people are like, well, if it's crypto, it's safe.
	Private.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	No, crypto only has to do with the processing part of it, the identifiers that are there.
	But the public ledger is that.
	It's public.
	It's public for everybody to see.
	The public ledger for Bitcoin.
	It is out there for everybody to see, unlike the transactions even that you have through our current financial system with the banks or with other people that you buy stuff from.
	That's not all out there in the open for everybody to see.
	But for crypto, it is.
	And if you know some of the wallets or you can figure it out, just in the same way that somebody looked at this and said, look at that.
	Somebody put a $200 million bet on this meeting on Friday.
	And it's going to go through the roof.
	They know that.
	You could see that somebody was buying it.
	And with a little bit of work, detective work, usually you can find out who those whales are.
	You figure out who it is, because it's all public.
	Nabooru, 2029. Doesn't matter what type of payment systems create, as long as mismanagement and self-interest have no consequences for those in charge.
	That's right.
	Yeah.
	Angry Tiger.
	So they're going to use XRP, this Ripple, like they use Swift.
	XRP is a utility that moves money around.
	This is all an introduction to CBDC. I think you're absolutely right, and that's important, you know, by including XRP in there.
	Like I said, the whole purpose of Ripple was to be transactional.
	And by putting that in, that's a big tell, but this is not just about...
	Saving Bitcoin as an asset.
	But they want to include these other currencies in there because they're making their move towards a digital currency, a digital ID, essentially.
	But go back to Angry Tiger.
	He says, this is an introduction to CBDC. All the crypto he listed are utility cryptos.
	Their primary purpose is to move money around.
	Bitcoin is considered an asset now and not a utility.
	That's how it was hijacked.
	Definitely using these for the introduction of a CBDC. They're trying to normalize it through crypto.
	I think so, yeah.
	Like I said from the very beginning, I think they're going to do a private version of it.
	At the very least, it'll be a private version.
	Establish it as de facto.
	And then, at some point, with a...
	You know, false flag-induced crisis, or the next election where you get the totalitarian Democrats who come in, they just stick a gun in your face and say, now you're going to use it.
	So they'll establish this stuff, they'll make a lot of money doing all that, and then they'll come in with a false flag crisis, or you'll have, you know, some government tyrant will come in and stick a gun in your face and say, you've got to do it.
	Jason Barker.
	Good to see you, Jason.
	Also, Nights of the Storm along with Angry Tiger.
	And they're on Rockfin and on X as well.
	You can see NightsOfTheStorm.com.
	And they've got a lot of, if you go to their website, they've got a lot of different broadcasts.
	And each of them have their own independent broadcasts as well.
	Foxhole and Angry Tiger Report.
	So you can go there and you can see a lot of people that are...
	Not what we call influencers.
	You know, the kind of people that were pushing around that Jeffrey Epstein nonsense last week.
	You know, it's like, please don't ever call me.
	I won't be an influencer.
	I'm too shadow banned to influence anybody.
	But I would never aspire to be an influencer.
	As far as I'm concerned, that's like saying you're a propagandist.
	You're trying to nudge people into certain things.
	Jason Barker said they love to rob us through taxation.
	They should use pirate coin.
	That's good.
	Arg.
	I think it's like arg is a symbol or something for it or something like that.
	Angela O. Fort Knox is like Geraldo opening the mafia safe.
	I'm sure it'll be broadcast live on all the MAGA channels, right?
	The MAGA network.
	Handy.
	They're using ID.me for our EMS records.
	Ooh, plus digital wallet.
	ID.me.
	I think that was the one that the IRS was trying to push on everybody.
	And they backed off for a moment because it was too cumbersome to get signed up for it.
	Plus, digital wallet is voluntary for now.
	You know, like the E-Verify.
	E-Verify for years was voluntary, and now they made it mandatory in Florida.
	DeSantis and the Republicans did.
	We got all this immigration problem, and so you need to get permission of the federal government to have a job now.
	Wait a minute.
	The federal government's the one that opened up the border.
	You know, that problem solution.
	They just throw a lot of discounts at us if we join.
	That's the way it works.
	Good to see you, Andy.
	Jason Barker replied and said, I had to sign up for the ID.me to access my veterans stuff.
	See?
	They gradually bring it in.
	They bring it in, you know, in the back door, stabbing you in the back, incentivizing things, or saying if you're going to deal with the government, you've got to do that.
	And they already tried doing that with the IRS. High Boost says, David, speaking of a show, I saw a fracture in MAGA over the weekend.
	Cash, Bondi, and the promises is not happening.
	No Epstein files, no gold audits, no Greenland, and most importantly, zero arrests.
	Yeah, I saw that too.
	I saw people calling for Pam Bondi to be thrown out and other people defending her and all the rest of the stuff.
	What do they expect?
	I mean, it's just...
	Yeah, that's why I say, you know, all of this, people are so excited.
	It was all PR. It was all hopium.
	And you've got to see what actually happens.
	How much of this stuff is real?
	I mean, all this stuff has been thrown at everybody, you know, one thing after the other.
	And before you can look at it to see if there's really any substance in what they said just happened.
	Well, now they throw a new announcement at you.
	So they keep it coming.
	Fast and furious, really.
	So we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.
	Here's a little song I wrote.
	You might want to hear it in your pod.
	You know nothing.
	And be happy.
	Ain't got no cash, ain't got no car, but 24 booster shots in your arm.
	Oh, nothing.
	Be happy.
	You can't even buy s*** in the store because of your low social credit score.
	Oh, nothing.
	be happy you will own nothing And be happy.
	Be happy and eat the bugs.
	They're doing what?
	In the place they named after me?
	Good thing I have the David Knight Show to keep me informed on the plots of these traitors.
	Making sense common again.
	This is the David Knight Show.
	Well, let's talk a little bit about Trump making English the official language of the U.S. And I'm all for that.
	I think that's great.
	This is something that's been talked about for a very long time.
	Pat Buchanan, back in the, even the 90s, was talking about that.
	I think it's absolutely necessary.
	Again, when you go back to Switzerland.
	Switzerland has, you know, it's a very small country.
	But in one part of the country, they speak German, and all the signs are in German.
	In another part, they speak Italian.
	They speak French and everything.
	They have to have a fourth language, which they call Romansk or something like that, which is the official language of the government.
	Because if you're going to publish everything, for example, if English is not the official language of the government, then what are you going to do?
	Are you going to publish the Constitution in Spanish and in English?
	Or any laws in Spanish and in English?
	Or any other number of languages?
	You know, maybe instead of press one for English and two for Spanish, maybe we can now press three for Chinese and four for Arabic?
	And when does it all end?
	And this is not going to say that people, that individual businesses can't do that press one for English and two for Spanish type of stuff.
	That's up to them where they can put Spanish signs up in all the different stores.
	That was really, really heavy in Texas.
	It's one of the things that's interesting here in Tennessee.
	All the signs are in English.
	It's almost like I'm back in America again or something.
	I don't know.
	It's strange in it.
	But I don't know how much longer that's going to last.
	But this doesn't have anything to do with what stores are going to do.
	It doesn't even prohibit the government from doing the press 1 for English and press 2 for Spanish.
	It doesn't prohibit them from doing that.
	But it just says that English is the official language.
	And so it's got some limited utility, this declaration, this executive order does.
	But you absolutely have to have it.
	I mean, look at how bad it is right now.
	You've got courts that interpret the Constitution for us as if it's written in a different language.
	Like I've said many times, it's written in English.
	I don't need an interpretation.
	I can read it for myself.
	But if we have multiple languages, you know, which one is going to prevail?
	And there's always going to be some nuance.
	And that's where all the disputes come from, is in the nuances.
	So Trump has signed an executive order to make English the official language of the United States.
	And, of course, he can do that as an executive order because it'll be over the executive branch.
	And so I think that's a good thing.
	It means that government agencies and organizations that get federal funding can choose whether they want to offer documents and services in languages other than English.
	So, again, it rescinds a policy that required such bodies to provide language.
	That law was signed into effect by Bill Clinton in 2000. And so the difference is they can choose to do that if they wish.
	But Bill Clinton was requiring them to go bilingual in many respects.
	So it's a small victory, really.
	Establishing English as the official language will not only streamline communications, says the order, but also reinforce shared national values and create a more cohesive An efficient society, says the order.
	So it is noted in the order that the agencies do not need to change.
	They don't need to remove.
	They don't need to stop offering any such assistance that they already provide.
	So it's still going to be press one for English, two for Spanish everywhere.
	And so like so much of the stuff that Trump is doing, it's just a head fake.
	You look at it and it's like, oh great, except it's not really going to change anything.
	And when we talk about what is really going to be happening with all this stuff, understand the real language of government is money.
	Money.
	Money talks.
	And that's what he's working on.
	He's working on the money language stuff.
	By the way, I didn't mention gold and silver.
	If you want to get gold and silver, I didn't play.
	I was going to play Yukon Cornelius.
	I forgot to do that as well.
	DavidKnight.gold is what Tony has set up to get you to Wise Wolf Gold.
	It'd be a really good time to start getting some assets out of this financial system.
	And again, if you want to get into Bitcoin, he's set up a service or get out of Bitcoin.
	Take some profits.
	He's set up a service to let you transfer to and from Bitcoin to gold without any fees.
	But you can also accumulate gold on a regular basis.
	And you can sign up with the club.
	Nobody else that I know of has done that, but Tony has been very good in terms of innovation, customer service, and I've dealt with him for years.
	And so, again, davidknight.gold will take you to Tony Ardaman and Wise Wolf Gold.
	And you might want to keep that in mind because we're going to see amazing changes happening, and you're going to see a lot of changes happening with money, and you don't want to get rug-pulled on this stuff, on these ETFs, on these tether coins, and all the rest of this stuff.
	You know, Tony has said he doesn't trust any of these cryptos.
	He said, Bitcoin?
	He said he thinks that's going to be there.
	Well, you know, you make your own decisions about that.
	But look, this isn't even about setting up a Bitcoin reserve.
	They're using that, and they're going to have a lot of stuff in there.
	That's what we were just talking about.
	So, again, you've been warned.
	Nearly 68 million of the country's 340 million residents speak a language other than English, according to the Census Bureau.
	Besides Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, others.
	Press 3 for Chinese, 4 for Arabic.
	They also said establishing one language could promote discrimination against non-English speakers.
	Well, guess what?
	You know what?
	If you're a non-English speaker, you've already invited discrimination against yourself because you've already shut yourself out of a lot of different opportunities.
	I know people that my daughter worked with who have lived here in the United States for decades and don't care to learn English.
	They work in the kitchen.
	And they're going to keep working in the kitchen because they are equivalent things like, because they have no interest in learning English, which would open up other opportunities to them.
	But they live here just in open contempt of our laws, of our culture, of our language, and everything else.
	It's like, I don't understand why they just don't go back home.
	Anyway, Trump's slush fund, as Mises talks about it.
	In his February 3rd executive order, he directed his minions to begin planning to establish a sovereign wealth fund.
	This fund would be on the order of $2 trillion, investing in things like manufacturing hubs, defense, medical research, etc., says the order.
	Well, we don't really know.
	They've kind of left that vague.
	And as I said before, I think it really is that they start talking about putting their assets to wealth.
	The federal government claims that it owns public lands.
	The Constitution says they would own forts and ports and the District of Columbia, but nothing else.
	But those are going to be the assets that Scott Besant said he's going to put to work.
	This order reflects a new anti-capitalist economic orientation of the Republican Party, though, says Mises.
	And I agree.
	Embracing fallacies that government can somehow be made efficient.
	That tariffs can perform miracles, like saving the fiat dollar from destruction.
	And that selecting the right executive personnel is a substitute for the rule of law.
	Boy, that really does lay out the position of MAGA, doesn't it?
	MAGA thinks, we don't need the rule of law.
	We've got the right people in office right now.
	What happens when the wrong people get in?
	The fact that tariffs are going to save the fiat dollar from destruction.
	Yeah.
	That pretty much sums up what they think.
	Or the idea that government can be made efficient.
	The last thing in the world I want is efficient government if it's not doing the right thing.
	And our government is not doing the right thing.
	It's doing many things that it has no business doing.
	And it's doing some truly evil things, and I don't want to make them more efficient at it.
	I don't want to maximize governance, which is the goal of Musk.
	And he wants to maximize government because he's going to maximize his profits when he does that.
	He's going to have the inside track on this stuff.
	I was just talking to Whistler about, you know, as they keep coming out with these new AIs and the fee structures are just amazing when you look at them.
	OpenAI is the most confiscatory in terms of its fees.
	And I forget the exact numbers.
	He knew all about it.
	But it was something like you've got to pay $250 a month to have credits.
	And then those credits...
	We're something like 20 times more expensive than DeepSeek.
	So you pay this big fee, user fees, and the user fees are ridiculously absurd as well.
	And I told him, I said, well, that's the reason why OpenAI is taking their dog and pony show to the federal government, telling everybody, this is so dangerous, Skynet's going to kill us all.
	Only a couple of us who are responsible should have the ability to do this.
	And you've got to be very worried about those Chinese competitors and so forth.
	They take that story to the federal government.
	The federal government, money is no object.
	OpenAI is not competitive in the marketplace already with the Chinese and many other people.
	I mean, they were the least competitive of all the people, and their new model is not an impressive improvement either.
	And so they're inefficient.
	And outrageously expensive, so where else would they go except for the people who will pay $600 for a toilet seat?
	Or an AI prompt, which is like a toilet seat.
	So Republicans have evidently forgotten the eternal truth, eternal economic truth, that planning that is not driven by free markets doesn't work.
	That's exactly right.
	And that's what's so troubling about all this stuff.
	It grieves me to see the people that have been brought into the political process as a mob, and the Mob America again crowd, right?
	They've been brought in as a TV-watching mob, big fans of Donald Trump.
	They know nothing about economics or history or why we had the form of government that we used to have.
	They don't value it anymore.
	They don't value the rule of law.
	Or, you know, any decentralization.
	They don't value any of those principles that America was built upon in the Constitution.
	They don't value any of that stuff.
	They're just like the left.
	It's a very, very big problem.
	So central planning.
	They like the idea of central planning.
	They like the idea of executive orders.
	They think they're winning when they get a president who acts like a dictator.
	As long as he's issuing the dictates that they like, they like that.
	They don't realize what's been lost in all of that, and how that will immediately vanish when they get somebody in there that they don't like.
	They're more than happy to get rid of the rule of law, just like these people, more than happy to censor anybody that they don't like.
	And that's true of both the left and the right now.
	They're both applauding censorship, just like the tyrants out of the EU. I don't like what you have to say about the nation of Israel, so I'm going to throw you in jail.
	Or the other people want to do it for, you criticize LGBT or whatever, they'll throw you in jail.
	They'll take your career, whatever.
	They are mere images of each other, more alike than they are different.
	So, central planning, another one of these issues.
	But again, I think that the purpose of this slush fund is going to be a massive auction of everything to foreigners.
	Because you can talk about whether or not we're going to be English language and government.
	No, it's money language.
	Money.
	And I think that these people want to get their cut in all of it.
	Just take a look at what is happening with all this Canadian nonsense.
	You know, why pick a fight with Canada, of all things?
	Again, he wants to have chaos.
	And you can see this reflected.
	It's just amazing to me.
	I don't follow sports.
	I certainly don't follow hockey.
	You know, when I was a kid, I used to watch football, but I certainly don't follow hockey.
	But the Rangers fans, the New York Rangers, were booing the Canadian Maple Leafs when they were playing a game in Madison Square Garden.
	I mean, we used to even have a sports league that went across Canada and the U.S. And now they're all booing each other when the national anthems are played.
	The New York Rangers fans booed the singing of O Canada before the game against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Friday night.
	We had seen this once before.
	And what they call the Four Nations face-off.
	And it just keeps going on.
	And this is the Trump legacy.
	The other part of the Trump legacy.
	This is Reason commenting on that nonsense on Thursday and Friday.
	The Epstein client list.
	Reason headline says, the sad quest for a secret Epstein client list.
	Well, again, these people that you see there, these influencers, and I mean, you know, many, many people have pointed this out.
	I pointed it out last week as well.
	The fact that, you know, Epstein was working for Mossad, and these people are Zionist influencers.
	And so you're going to turn over the Epstein files to the Zionist influencers.
	Yeah, that makes sense.
	Except they didn't turn anything over.
	Except there isn't anything there.
	And you know there's not going to be anything there.
	Because Trump was all over the place.
	If there was honest Epstein files, folks, with them being buddies for 10 years, Trump would be all over those files.
	So of course they're not going to release them.
	You know that ahead of time.
	But this is all, this is why they bring in these influencers.
	These supporters of Trump, supporters of Israel, supporters of indirectly Mossad then.
	And that's why they bring them in, to pull the wool over your eyes, to influence you.
	Again, they're not out there searching for truth.
	They don't identify themselves as researchers, but as influencers.
	They're there to nudge you, to propagandize you for their political position.
	And then I saw this.
	This was sent to me.
	Joe Rogan roasts neo-Nazi-fed groups.
	He says, they're agent provocateurs.
	It's a real thing.
	He has...
	Elon Musk on with him.
	And the two of them are talking about the agent provocateurs, and Joe Rogan says, it's real.
	It's a real thing.
	Alex Jones taught me about them.
	Yeah, well, you know, if people weren't so stupid, he taught a lot of people about agent provocateurs with Stop and Steal, didn't he?
	Alex knew full well what agent provocateurs are about.
	He talked about it many, many times.
	Just like he knew full well the deleterious effects of mercury.
	And what was the other thing that he pulled up?
	Said, oh, that's okay.
	It'll be in the Trump shot.
	That's fine.
	You'll be fine with that kind of stuff.
	You put that stuff in there.
	He's said for years.
	He's increasing autism.
	Oh, that's okay.
	That'll be in the vaccine.
	It's got to be in there, you know.
	But it's a Trump shot.
	He's saving us from the bad thing.
	Well, you know, it was the agent provocateurs were January 6th.
	So Alex played the Pied Piper, the Judas goat, to lure people in.
	Knowing that there was going to be agent provocateurs.
	And here's what these guys are saying.
	You know, look, we've got agent provocateurs all over the place.
	And in this particular case, they're not talking about J6. They're talking about the neo-Nazi group Patriot Front.
	I said, look at that.
	It disbanded the day after FBI Director Christopher Wray stepped down.
	Well, of course, you can go to Elohim City and all the rest of the stuff and see how they had set up, you know, neo-Nazis and KKK and all the rest to entrap people.
	And they were all, you know, FBI people.
	And of course, that's what January the 6th stuff was about as well.
	That's what the vaccine is sugar water stuff was about.
	It was about entrapping people.
	So, again, that's your warning.
	Donald Trump continues to lie about fentanyl.
	As he envisions himself as the king of Israel ruling from Gaza.
	This is Brian Shalhavi's Health Impact News report where he's talking a little bit about the, of course, that picture there is taken from that outrageous video that Trump put up, golden statues of himself and his Trump casino and all the rest of this.
	He renewed his threats to impose a 25% tariff against imports from Canada and Mexico starting next week.
	Remember, he just, he...
	Immediately said, I'm going to do that.
	And he said, oh, I'll wait 30 days.
	Okay, now we're at the end of the 30 days.
	So starting actually tomorrow, March the 4th, while lying in public about what he's claiming is the reason for these tariffs, which he says is because fentanyl is coming across the border.
	Ridiculous.
	Ridiculous.
	And yet you've got, quote-unquote, influencers like Jack Posobiec going up to the Canadian border, peaceful, small little town, covered in snow.
	Look at this.
	Anybody can come across the border.
	Yeah, what do you want, Jack?
	Do you want to have drones and barbed wire and barking dogs at the border of Canada and the U.S.? Would that make you happy?
	You know, people can take fentanyl across the border from New York to New Jersey, too.
	So should we have armed guards there as well?
	Yeah, obviously he's selling an agenda.
	He's another one of these influencers out there who is selling an agenda to you.
	Absolutely disgusting what these people do.
	Alex Jones, Jack Basoviet, Cernovich, on and on.
	This Rogan Handley guy, the D.C. Drano.
	Anyway, so Brian Shalhavi says, again, you know, he reported, and we talked about it as well, 50 pounds total of fentanyl coming across the Canadian border for the entire year, according to them.
	All of it.
	Put into one bag of chicken feed, basically.
	Here's what's being reported about fentanyl seizures from Canada in 2025, according to the Canadian Border Services Agency, he said.
	They've got something called Operation Blizzard, aimed at intercepting illegal contraband, arriving and leaving Canada with a focus on fentanyl and other synthetic narcotics, says the Canadian Border Patrol.
	They shared that they had seized 56 grams of fentanyl this month, Including 20 pills and 23 grams of a substance suspected to be fentanyl.
	They didn't even say, you know, it's just like, oh, we suspect that this is bird flu.
	Well, we suspected that this is fentanyl, so we grabbed it and we got some pills.
	He says 28 grams, if it really was, you know, what they expected to be fentanyl, if it was really fentanyl, he says you're talking about one ounce.
	This is supposedly the fentanyl crisis that is coming out of Canada.
	So what is it really about, he says?
	He says, fortunately, we can learn what Trump's true reasons are for threatening Canada with tariffs directly from Trump himself.
	He starts out with lies about fentanyl, then basically admits he's lying as he gives a real reason that he is imposing tariffs on Canada.
	Note, he says, I'm not debating whether or not the U.S. should keep supporting Canada, whether or not they should become the 51st state.
	But when Trump uses fentanyl excuse to beat them into submission, he is clearly lying.
	When did you ever read in the media, either corporate media or alternative media, that we had a fentanyl crisis on our border with Canada?
	Never.
	Until a few weeks ago when he started lying about it.
	He says when a person, and here's the key folks, listen to this, because this applies, this is why character matters.
	And, you know, years ago, I remember when Mitt Romney was running, and I forget the exact incident that was involved there.
	But I said, you know, he's caught in a lie, caught in several lies, as a matter of fact.
	And I said, you know, the real issue here is that, you know, and I wasn't supporting Obama, but I said, it's a real issue.
	When somebody lies.
	I said, apart from the fact a lot of people are getting upset about him being a Mormon and this and that, I said, well, here's the issue.
	It's a character issue.
	You know, he needs to have the integrity to say what he means.
	And if he will lie to you about this kind of stuff, well, then he's going to lie to you later on.
	And when you look at Trump, as I've said many times, have you got three wives?
	The first two, he kicked out the door and mocked them publicly, humiliated them.
	I mean, divorce has become very common, unfortunately, in our society.
	But he took it to a whole new level.
	He made an art out of divorce.
	He made it into something that made him a big deal in people's eyes.
	Yeah, very much like Tate does, you know, in his denigration of women.
	They throw this stuff around about misogyny all the time.
	But he's the real deal, Andrew Tate is.
	He's the real deal when it comes to hating women and abusing women in so many different ways.
	And so is Donald Trump.
	And so you've got this fight.
	This is the other fight that broke out over the weekend.
	Andrew Tate comes in.
	You've got all of these MAGA guys, love him, and are, you know, yay, yay, yay, he's in, and all the rest of this stuff.
	And DeSantis pulled back and criticized him.
	So there's this fight going on within the Republican Party over, you know, do you like Andrew Tate or do you hate him?
	And, you know, you look at what this guy said, and it is beyond reprehensible.
	I wasn't even going to play that.
	I pulled some of this stuff up, and you can see it on Twitter, and I downloaded the clips to put them in the board to play them, and I thought, you know, I don't even want to hear that stuff.
	I don't even want to put that out on the air.
	It's so disgusting and reprehensible.
	Well, These people are fighting back and forth over this stuff, and yet they're united in their love of Donald Trump and the Republican Party.
	They may be divided over Andrew Tate, but they are unified in their love of Donald Trump, or maybe in their fear of him.
	But coming back to this, and this is what Brian Shalhavi says.
	He says, when a person habitually lies, how can you ever believe what they say?
	And how can you trust them?
	And see, that was the big lie of the 4D chest that Alex was telling everybody.
	Don't worry.
	He's lying to them.
	He's not lying to you.
	He's really going to do what he told you he's going to do.
	He's just making it look like the other side's winning because he's playing them.
	Yeah, right.
	You know who was playing you?
	It was Alex Jones who was playing you with that.
	Because the corporate media are funded and supported by Big Pharma, and the truth is that the fentanyl crisis in the U.S. is from U.S. produced fentanyl from U.S. pharmaceutical companies which are distributed through U.S. pharmacies.
	It's the same thing that happened with the opioid thing.
	You go back and look at the opioid stuff and it was all coming from Sackler and it was coming from Johnson& Johnson and the rest of the stuff.
	They were the ones responsible for it.
	This has all been proven in court.
	Of law over the past several years with mega lawsuits for fentanyl and for other opioids.
	He says here's a couple of recent articles.
	There's one that he referenced, a guy that's in Mexico, Carlos Perez Ricart.
	He wrote a book, A Hundred Years of Spies and Drugs, the stories of the U.S.'s counter-narcotics agents in Mexico.
	You want to talk about agent provocateurs?
	They just ought to...
	That'll rename the CIA to the AP. That name's already taken.
	They just ought to call the CIA and all these intelligence agencies, they ought to just call them agent provocateurs.
	You know, they're the ones running the drugs.
	They're the ones who created the drug war.
	Of course, the drug war was legislation that was put together by the UN, but the people that implemented it were the CIA and the usual suspects.
	So he talks about how this has been going on, going all the way back into the second.
	World War.
	A good example of this, you know, I talk frequently about civil asset forfeiture, and I saw this story on Breitbart, and they're bragging about it.
	See, see, we're interdicting the drugs, and we're winning.
	Isn't that great?
	Donald Trump is interdicting drugs here.
	$500,000 in cartel cash seized in two Texas counties' traffic stops.
	How did they know it's cartel cash?
	It's cash.
	This is not a war on drugs.
	This is a war on cash.
	And Breitbart thinks this is a victory.
	It's several asset forfeiture.
	It's taking this cash because the idea is that you're not allowed to have cash.
	And we've seen this in varying amounts.
	One of the first stories I ever saw was a black gardener who was going to fly to Florida.
	To buy some supplies and rent a truck and fly back.
	And so he had a stash of cash.
	It was $9,000.
	And he goes up to the counter and, you know, he lives a simple life.
	He's a laborer and all this other kind of stuff.
	So he takes his money that he's saved and he goes to pay for the ticket in cash.
	So they get on the phone and they go, oh, we got a guy here paying cash for tickets, obviously.
	And he's got a lot of cash in his pocket.
	So, you know, they call the police on him.
	And they confiscate everything.
	He was 100% legit.
	100% legit.
	And that was one of the first civil asset forfeiture cases that I saw.
	But, you know, here's a black guy with cash.
	He's buying a ticket at the last minute.
	It checks all the boxes.
	And he's obviously a suspect.
	Well, at least his money is.
	We know the money was ill-gotten gained.
	They couldn't prove anything on him.
	They just stole his money and wouldn't give it back.
	And he was, in fact, what he said he was.
	A gardener, you know, not gardener, but, you know, somebody in that type of thing.
	I mean, he's going to get plants and stuff like that in a landscaping business, not gardening.
	The occupants of this vehicle face state charges in Texas related to cash smuggling.
	Smuggling of cash?
	Oh, what does that mean, even?
	You know, this is like the structured withdrawals that they came after Dennis Hastert for, you know?
	The guy who was a known pedophile, they wanted to come after him for something, so they came after him for taking out his money in a way that it wouldn't be detected.
	Now they're coming after these people for carrying cash in their car in a way that it wouldn't be detected.
	What are you supposed to do?
	Are you supposed to lay the cash out on the dashboard like some of these people with Jeeps put the ducks, you know?
	Look, I've got stacks of cash all over my...
	I'm not trying to smuggle anything!
	Yeah, I'm just trying to get killed and robbed.
	I mean, if I was carrying cash, yeah, I would hide it in the seats or something.
	Now, this was a large amount of cash.
	So what?
	It may indicate these people really are connected to the cartels, but having cash should not be a crime.
	And Breitbart is treating it as if, well, we know that this is cartel cash.
	No, you don't.
	You don't know anything of the sort.
	So, U.S. Border Patrol Chief.
	Said, quote, another major hit to criminal enterprises.
	Look, if they got a half a million dollars from these guys, that's not a major hit to them.
	Come on, get real.
	During the stop, authorities found more than $267,000 in cash hidden under the vehicle's backseat.
	Again, anybody in their right mind, if they had $267,000 in cash, they would hide it under the backseat or somewhere.
	Officials found approximately $280,000.
	Of cash hidden throughout the vehicle.
	Authorities seized the vehicle and arrested the driver on state charges of bulk cash smuggling.
	That should not be a crime any more than withdrawing cash from your own bank account.
	There's already been publicly declared, you know, tax declarations and all the rest of the stuff.
	That should not be a crime either.
	Smuggling cash?
	They throw smuggling in there.
	So that it's illegal, right?
	You're carrying cash.
	So, therefore, they call it smuggling.
	Seizing significant quantities of drugs and cash along the Interstate 10 smuggling corridor between San Antonio and Houston.
	I've gone down.
	I never realized I was in a smuggling corridor.
	Did you care?
	I didn't.
	Boy, I would have been a lot more careful.
	I would have hidden my cash.
	This is it, right?
	So you call it a smuggling corridor.
	You say if somebody's got cash, it's obviously a crime.
	No, no.
	Cash should not be, having cash should not be a crime.
	But that's what they want it to be.
	And so you've got these people who are pushing what Trump is pushing with the fentanyl stuff and the drug war and all the rest of this and saying this is a victory.
	No, it is anything but a victory.
	We're going to take a break.
	We'll be right back.
	That's right, boys and girls.
	There's a post-election sale on silver and gold.
	Trump's euphoria has caused a dip in silver and gold.
	It's time to buy some medals with fiat dollars before they come to their sense is.
	Go to davidknight.gold to get in touch with the wise wolf himself, Tony Arterburn.
	He knows where to look to find silver and gold.
	Yark!
	Fiat! Fiat! Fiat! Fiat! Fiat! Fiat! Fiat! Fiat! The
	End The End
	HBaird36 says, Elon Musk on Joe Rogan's podcast said, Social Security is the biggest Ponzi scheme.
	But in reality, it is crypto.
	You're absolutely right.
	They've said for years.
	And I think, of course, Social Security is a Ponzi scheme.
	But now we have the greater fool Ponzi scheme of crypto.
	That's what it's always about.
	What did Ponzi do?
	He's telling everybody how great this is and skirting this thing along as the greater fool was being played, and that's exactly what I see with crypto.
	Kim K., thank you very much for the tip.
	I appreciate that.
	Matt Bradford, for all we know, Epstein got a Laurel Canyon makeover.
	I'm not sure I know what that is, but I can guess that I agree with you.
	I don't think he was killed, actually, but who knows?
	I certainly know he didn't commit suicide.
	Everybody knows that, but I don't think he was killed.
	Guess who's the next great business guru or box office star?
	Speaking of that, the Oscar stuff, isn't it amazing?
	Nobody cares about that at all.
	There's not even a buzz about that.
	There was an article that I saw listed on the Drudge Report saying that something like 53% of Americans or something had not seen a single one of the movies that was on for Best Picture.
	Because that doesn't even apply, Best Picture.
	It's absurd.
	But, yeah, as a matter of fact, the number one box office film, which was their restructuring of Captain America.
	With a black guy.
	And they had a roof.
	Maybe you saw this.
	I didn't talk about it.
	They had a roof collapse at a theater that was showing it.
	Fortunately, nobody was hurt because there's only two people in the theater.
	That's the number one box office thing that's out there.
	It's ridiculous what they're putting in.
	Nobody really cares.
	And of course, the conservative movement about Ronald Reagan was kept out of consideration for an Oscar.
	Yeah, again, not anything.
	I'm not interested in seeing some Reagan hagiography, you know, turning him into a saint or whatever.
	I'm not at all interested in seeing that film.
	But the reason it was excluded wasn't because it was a hagiography.
	It was excluded because they didn't have any LGBT people in there.
	So it obviously could not be considered for content.
	You've got to shoehorn them in somehow.
	Ron Helton.
	You can tell who the BS artists are on Twitter.
	They all have big accounts.
	Probably most of the quote-unquote followers are fake.
	I agree.
	Geesebusters, thank you very much.
	And it was so much fun, very interesting to talk to Geesebusters on Friday.
	I got a lot of messages from people who really enjoyed the interview, and it really was very interesting.
	And I'll always remember it because we had our chicken was getting attacked.
	We had a background that had a bird on it, and then we had multiple attacks on our chicken, which the jury is still out as to whether or not she's going to survive that hawk attack attack.
	But we've kept her quiet and isolated on her own.
	But she lost a lot of feathers and got a Some really bad slashes on her neck and everything from those hawks.
	And, you know, she shouldn't have flown the coop, but she did.
	And so we got some repair work to do on that as well.
	Jerry Alitalo, Blazing Saddles.
	Specific evidence?
	We don't need no stinking specific evidence.
	Narrowway, Narrowgate Ministries says, Tennessee Sheriff was arrested with his patrol car.
	Loaded with Mary Jane and other drugs, marijuana, being watched by the FBI working with state police on a sting operation since 2023. These guys just wanted to hang out in Tennessee, I guess.
	They had to run this thing for two years as an investigation.
	And a sting.
	Of course, we always see the FBI stings.
	Well, speaking, we've been talking a lot about government and the fact that everything they have is stolen.
	So speaking of theft.
	We had an interesting case of theft in the UK in Lincolnshire, England.
	We had thieves.
	They didn't break into the church because the church keeps its doors unlocked, but the thieves stole the Ten Commandments from the church.
	And as one of the elders said, they clearly didn't read it.
	Maybe they will now.
	Three of the things that were stolen were displayed in heavy wooden frames and depicted religious themes, including the Lord's Prayer and Moses delivering the commandments.
	They said in the church, they said they have sentimental value to the church and to its members.
	I guess they could have also said, we don't store up our treasures on earth where thieves can break in and steal, right?
	Even thieves can break in and steal the Ten Commandments.
	They'll steal anything, won't they?
	They probably wanted to learn a bit more about the commandments.
	Thou shalt not steal, said the church warden, who's 80 years old.
	Despite the concerns, the church warden said that the church doors will remain open.
	He said, obviously, it doesn't make you feel good that some items have been stolen, but closing the doors would conflict with our tradition of welcoming people.
	Oh, there you go.
	One thing that has closed its doors, and we're glad to see that happening, are transgender clinics.
	In India!
	In India!
	You see, our CIA government is not just content on corrupting and destroying our society.
	They want to send that around the world.
	And so they're actually setting up transgender clinics in India.
	I mean, we are the epicenter.
	We now have demonic missions.
	That we send people on.
	That's what our country is about.
	Isn't that amazing?
	You think about this as demonic missionaries to sell the religion of transgenderism to people in other countries and to harm them as well.
	But again, USAID is CIA. They've always been about this kind of thing.
	So, you know, in Lincolnshire, they missed the thou shalt not steal thing.
	These guys missed the part about male and female he created them.
	So several so-called transgender health care clinics, they call it a health care clinic, overseas have closed their doors thanks to the pause on USAID-CIA funding.
	See, the CIA, and again, rolling this funding out through USAID, I'm surprised that I haven't seen anybody in the MAGA cult talk about the fact that Obama's mama was USAID. You know, everybody, was he black or is he white?
	It's like, no, it doesn't matter.
	He was CIA. That's what you need to be concerned about.
	It's not his skin color.
	It's what went into his background.
	His white mother and his white grandparents were all CIA. The grandparents were part of the OSS during World War II. They were founding members of the CIA. His mother worked all of her life.
	For USAID, which is a CIA front group, and doing this kind of perverted stuff around the world.
	When they're not engaged in assassinations or coups, they're out there spreading demonic perversion.
	That's it.
	It's sinister.
	It's a cult.
	This group has been the driving force.
	Behind the cultural decline in our country and many other countries, selling sex, selling, you know, setting people up with sex, selling drugs, the drug trafficking, all the rest of the stuff.
	It's one of the main reasons why there's been institutional decline and decline of the family in this country.
	I mean, even architecture and art.
	They even got into that to mess it up.
	Nothing says demonic influence to me.
	More than the activities of the CIA and the NSA, it included them as well, because we had Michael Aquino, who was, I think, a colonel or something, you know, he's also, allegations of him being a pedophile, started a demonic temple, but, you know, after the accusations of him being a pedophile were brought, the NSA protected him, got him out of that state of California, took him somewhere else.
	Among the main losers following the freezing of USAID funds, Has been these three clinics in India.
	And they call them MITR, M-I-T-R, which means friend.
	That's the way they would position themselves, isn't it?
	Wow.
	The first MITR clinic in India was founded in 2021. With Johns Hopkins being a part of this, they're always at the center as well.
	Johns Hopkins has been a part of Dark Winter 2001, the first one of these germ game things, and they played a role in all the other 20 that happened where they were practicing what they did to us in 2020 with a so-called COVID pandemic.
	So Reuters said the services administered there included hormone therapy, and that's not therapy, it's hormone disruption.
	Hormone disruption.
	They're not correcting something that's a problem.
	They're disrupting your body's natural hormones.
	So it's hormone disruption for 5,000 gender-confused persons.
	Elon Musk celebrated the shutting down of one of the clinics.
	He said, that's what American taxpayer dollars were funding, he said on X. Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana also expressed outrage over the funding during a speech on the floor of the U.S. Senate last month.
	He said, Mr. Musk found that USAID gave money to a transgender clinic, three of them actually, in India.
	I didn't know that.
	I bet you, the American people, didn't know that, he said.
	The Times of London has similarly reported that Britain's top LGBT group, Stonewall, could lay off up to half of its 114-person staff as a result of Trump administration foreign aid cuts.
	Let's hope so.
	You know, they groom, they mutilate the minors, and they say that if they don't do this, that these children will commit suicide, right?
	So because, you know, if we don't do this to them, they say for them, they'll commit suicide.
	So let's forget all the laws about pedophilia, all the obscenity laws and all the rest of this stuff.
	But actually, the mutilation and sterilization of minors actually increases.
	Their rate of suicide.
	It actually does just the opposite of what they're saying, of course.
	And Planned Parenthood has now seen a new profit center in these transgender services of mutilization and sterilization.
	And guess what?
	Just like their other business interest in terms of abortion, it turns out that not only do the people who do the transgender The final act of assault driven into despair by Planned Parenthood and by these satanic agendas.
	Researchers surveyed nearly 2,000 women between the ages of 41 and 45, and they found that 34.7% of those who had abortions So let's think about that.
	If you're a mom, you've given live birth 13.4%.
	But if you never gave birth, it's actually 28% higher, the rate of suicide.
	They want to portray it exactly the opposite.
	Look at how it's portrayed throughout the media.
	Kids are driving me crazy.
	I'm going to kill myself and all the rest of this stuff.
	It's just the most horrible thing to have all these kids around me.
	And yet, those who didn't have children have a 28% higher suicide rate.
	But then, for those who didn't have children and have a 28% higher suicide rate than the mothers, you go to those who had an abortion, and theirs is double that of the people who didn't have kids.
	And it is 159%.
	Higher than those who became mothers and did not have abortions.
	This is a story from Live Action News of a woman who had the abortion pill and it nearly killed her.
	It was a live action video.
	A young woman recounts the extreme physical trauma she experienced after the abortion pill caused her to go into septic shock.
	She said she was a college student when she found out that she was pregnant.
	Faced with an unplanned pregnancy, she was unsure what to do.
	She looked to her boyfriend at the time for support, only to have him pressure her into an abortion.
	Though she was hesitant, she agreed to go through the procedure.
	Describing her emotions at the time as anxious, lost, confused, scared.
	She's got a lot of pressure from a lot of different angles.
	After taking the first drug in the abortion pill regimen, I call it mephistopheles.
	I think it's mephipristone, right?
	Whatever it is.
	I don't know.
	It's Mephistopheles.
	After that first pill, she went home, started experiencing cramps so bad, she said it felt like someone was stabbing me in the stomach.
	It was unbearable, she said.
	Two days later, her pain had not subsided.
	She went back to the abortion facility for a follow-up, but was told that an ultrasound showed that the abortion had been successful.
	Don't worry about it.
	She said they just kind of brushed it off and said, These are the symptoms.
	You're fine.
	After she didn't get better and her mother noticed that she still looked ill, her father drove her to a hospital.
	Another ultrasound found that the abortion had not been completed and that there were remains of her child inside of her that was causing a septic infection, septic shock.
	So she said, they put me into an induced coma and I nearly died.
	After a week, She was transferred to another hospital while still in a coma.
	When she finally awoke, she found herself hooked up to multiple tubes receiving blood transfusions and unable to talk for at least a day.
	The abortion pill had given her an infection behind her uterus and resulted in her needing to have a partial hysterectomy.
	During recovery, she had to relearn how to do many daily tasks, including how to walk, how to brush her teeth, How to write, how to chew her food, and more.
	And all, she said she was in the hospital for nearly two months.
	At first, she wanted to hide her abortion experience, but she's found healing through therapy and in sharing her story with others.
	She said, I thought, well, it's just going to be a quick pill.
	But she said, I don't recommend it to anyone.
	And of course, this is a pill that is dispensed without any examination now.
	As to how big is the baby, I mean, perhaps the baby was...
	Larger, perhaps that was why there were parts of the baby that were left behind.
	I tell you, it's just amazing to see this, but I think we're going to, unfortunately, have a lot of these types of things, and women seeing the result of the abortion, which is usually hidden from them in Planned Parenthood, and many of them speaking out.
	When we talk about the grooming in the schools, Texas Whistleblower has turned over a list of 2,300 teachers.
	Who are accused of raping and sexually abusing children.
	What?
	How in the world does this happen?
	That's a story by Alex Newman, by the way.
	He always does a great job reporting what's happening with education.
	Yeah, it is grooming, isn't it?
	And we all know that.
	Why should we be surprised about this?
	And the institutional corruption at the state level.
	In a conservative red state type of thing, right?
	Texas.
	Government schools across Texas are protecting child rapists and abusers, even allowing them to be legally shifted around to other schools to abuse more children.
	You know, when this happens in the Catholic Church or other denominations and things like that, people will always cover up for it, right?
	And try to pretend that doesn't happen.
	And we've seen the situation where you know that somebody's a pedophile.
	Well, they do.
	They transfer them to another diocese or something.
	Well, that's what they're doing here in the schools.
	Why isn't there outrage over this?
	See, most of the outrage over that was because they wanted to attack a religion.
	This is being kept quiet because this is about the schools.
	And what is at the basis of this is one word in a Texas law.
	And what it does is you have in there the Texas Family Code.
	They say educational officials have the option to report child raping teachers to the state board for educational certification instead of the police.
	And the reason that that's there is because of one word.
	It says that they shall be reported to the board or to the police.
	Or, not and.
	Or.
	So rather than requiring education authorities to report criminals working for school districts, including child rapists, to both law enforcement and the certification agency, the code uses the word OR. In practice, that has resulted in districts refusing to report the accused to law enforcement, merely notifying the state's teacher certification agency.
	They said the horrific details first emerged when a whistleblower in the state education agency sent the Open Records Project a list of over 10,000 teachers accused of various crimes.
	And that list included over 2,300 accused of raping and sexually abusing children.
	A small percentage of those were placed on a, quote, do not hire list.
	But over 90% were considered eligible to return to the classroom by the state's teacher certification agency.
	So here you have the teacher certification agency.
	They just move them on to somewhere else, 90% of them.
	They don't even fire them, let alone have any criminal investigation by the police.
	So they report it to the educational bureaucracy.
	Critics and researchers have talked about this when it happens at various institutions.
	They call it passing the trash.
	Somebody is accused of doing something like this.
	You don't want to embarrass the institution.
	So you just pass them on to somewhere else and let them do it all over again.
	Lots of people knew, but they also knew to keep their mouths shut.
	In 2004, the U.S. Department of Education released the most comprehensive review of the data on sex crimes by educators against children.
	Again, going back to 2004. It's called the Shakeshaft Report by Carol Shakeshaft.
	They found that about one in ten children are victims of sexual misconduct by government school staff.
	Over a third of the victims were below high school age.
	More recent estimates suggest that the numbers are much higher.
	Well, of course they are.
	Look at how much more degenerate the schools are now.
	Not even close.
	Not even close.
	Matt Bradford says, he's explaining Laurel Canyon.
	Laurel Canyon makeover means the place where people whose death got faked get a brand new identity.
	Oh, okay.
	That was a phrase I wasn't filming with.
	Thank you for filling that in.
	I'll look that up.
	I'm always interested in the etymology of words or figures of speech.
	Brian and Deb McCartney, good to see you there, David.
	She flew the coop, F-L-U. She wanted to help spread the word, doing her part to help.
	Heard or to get flock immunity.
	There we go.
	Well, let's take a look at this.
	This is an interesting story that I saw on Friday that I didn't get to.
	And this is RFK Jr.'s running mate, Nicole Shanahan.
	And she has, you know, when we look at celebrities, and I'm not somebody who says, oh, look, you know, so-and-so just said they believe the Bible or they believe Christ, you know, whatever.
	So that validates what I believe.
	I don't think that at all.
	And it always surprises me to see how much emphasis everybody puts on some celebrity's profession of faith.
	And I'm not here to judge it one way or the other.
	That's not my job.
	The job of a Christian is to proclaim what the truth is, not to be a fruit inspector or to set in judgment of other people.
	God is the one who will judge where everybody is on this stuff.
	And I guess when we look at it, Part of it is, you know, everybody feels, if they see a celebrity, somebody they've watched a lot, they feel like they know them to some degree.
	Just, you know, the example of Gene Hackman and his wife and dog all dying and everybody's, oh, you know, it's like, he's 95 years old, he doesn't look anything at all like Gene Hackman.
	Most of these people never met him, but they watched him on movies and, you know, they feel like they know him.
	So they got like a, sometimes people get more involved.
	And things that happen to celebrities than they do in things that happen to their friends or neighbors or family members even.
	Kind of a strange thing, isn't it?
	And so, you know, when we look at somebody who's a public figure, and we all know what their flaws are and where they've come from, it's tempting for people to judge them, I think.
	But, and I don't, like I said, I don't typically talk about this, but her testimony was kind of interesting.
	I thought.
	Especially because she came at all this and still, I think, has a lot of the baggage from where she came from.
	You can look at it and you can see how much of a leftist liberal she is.
	She's into New Age stuff, identity politics and all the rest of the stuff.
	You see all that in her testimony.
	But I thought it was still kind of interesting, some of the things that she had to say.
	You know, she had been steeped in all this New Age stuff.
	And there's still a lot of things in our testimony that don't line up with the Bible.
	And yet, you know, when we look at this, and I would just say, you know, when we listen to the stories of people, we always want to jump in.
	It's like, ah, are they doing this to have alternative motives, you know?
	Somebody who has been accused of a lot of sexual crimes, so maybe he's professing faith in Christ because he wants to get out of jail card or something.
	Maybe they want it because they want to...
	Maybe they're talking about this because it's to their political advantage for the conservative group or whatever.
	So we can be very cynical about this stuff.
	And we can also be very judgmental about it.
	And I would just say that, of course, when you look, I would disagree with a lot of the things that she says here.
	I'm just saying this as an intro to the testimony thing she had.
	But, you know, none of us has perfect understanding.
	And none of us has perfect obedience.
	That's why we need Christ.
	And even when we do the right thing, many times we'll do it out of the wrong motivation.
	Maybe we'll do it out of pride.
	Maybe we'll do it because, again, we want it for a business purpose or political purposes or something like that.
	So I just say that as a preface.
	I thought it was kind of interesting what she had to say.
	She said, faith is not about having the answers, but about trusting in the one who does.
	And when you find him, You will know you are finally home, she said.
	Well, I certainly agree with that.
	She said, there's only one book, and that's the New Testament that helps you to understand how to go up against evil and how to really arm yourself, she said.
	And here's, with her, she did an interview with Glenn Beck, and she's talking about that thing, and that was what I saw first.
	Here's what she had to say.
	With Glenn Beck, who I certainly have a lot of disagreements with as well.
	I have spent time with the Bible and Christianity in the last year.
	Notice you're wearing a cross.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	This year taught me a lot.
	And it taught me that of all of the intellectual experiences I've had with spirituality, there's only one book, and that is the New Testament, that helps you understand how to go up against evil.
	Like, to really arm yourself for it.
	Old Testament has some of it, too, but the New Testament really does teach you how to do it with a great deal of grace and faith.
	So, I thought that was kind of interesting.
	Yeah.
	And what drew me into that was the fact that she had been involved in politics.
	And if you get involved in politics, if you get involved in big media and stuff, you certainly do see the evil that is there.
	And so, from my personal experience, that got my attention.
	So what is it that she says?
	You know, she says, well, I went up against evil.
	I'm running for this.
	She said in her statement online, she said, sometimes life has this way of turning down the volume on all the chaos, and in that stillness, we get a clear glimpse of what truly matters.
	One of these moments occurred in my life last month, she said.
	It was a quiet January night, just a few days before the presidential inauguration.
	I was lying in bed in the middle of the night with my six-year-old, Echo.
	And again, she was married to the co-founder of Google, Sergey Brin.
	And the marriage broke up.
	And the allegations of...
	Of adultery with Elon Musk and things like that.
	So I don't know what it says.
	She doesn't go into that aspect of it.
	But so she's got a child that they named Echo.
	Anyway, gently calming her after a night terror had awakened her.
	As she finally drifted back to sleep, I felt a heaviness settle over me, thick and suffocating like the air before a storm.
	It pressured against my chest, not like a weight, but like a presence, something unseen yet undeniable.
	At that moment, I could only think to bow my head and close my eyes and offer a silent prayer to God.
	In September of 2024, our family suffered a heart-wrenching loss, one that I'm not prepared to speak about in detail yet.
	But I will when the time is right.
	Not long after that tragedy, I met an incredible woman named Diane.
	Who says she's a bishop.
	Again, this is, like I said, I have issues with some of this, but she said, I'm still getting the hang of the lingo.
	She's new, right?
	She's new.
	And of course, this woman who calls herself a bishop has been around for a long time.
	She somehow has convinced herself that some of the passages that are pretty clear don't really apply.
	But anyway, she says, I don't know whether to say pastor, preacher, minister, depending on the church, but I know her as a deeply faithful soul who helped guide me closer to Jesus, she said.
	She said, I first crossed paths with Diane through my masseuse.
	His name is Ade, a Mayan Mexican immigrant.
	That's really important to her.
	The identity politics you'll see is very important to her from where she's coming from, again.
	Ade is a kind, quiet Christian who would whisper prayers for me while he worked without ever letting on.
	It wasn't until months later that he told me about it, and to this day, he remembers the first time we met and how worried he was about me.
	She said, one day it finally hit me that his prayers were doing more to heal me than the deep tissue massage ever could.
	So I said, hey, Ade, do you know anyone who can help keep bad energy away from people?
	See, she's coming at it from this new age thing.
	She's feeling bad energy or something.
	She said, basically an exorcist system.
	Exorcism.
	And he looked at me and said, Yes, when you're ready.
	In the weeks following our family's loss, I saw him again.
	And as he had so many times before, he prayed for me, but this time was different.
	I bowed my head, let the tears fall, and begged for God's help.
	It was then that Ade connected me with Diane.
	You know, and again, like a lot of new believers, she's highly focused on a person, right?
	On a messenger at the beginning of this, rather than...
	The message.
	So she's focused on this guy because he's a Mexican, and she's focused on this woman because, you know, a leftist bishop or something.
	But here's the thing.
	She said, Diana opened up her worn and well-loved Bible filled with highlights, underlines, and post-it tabs.
	You know, and as I look at that, I thought, you know, I hope your Bible is like that.
	You know, this woman...
	This may differ in a lot of different ways, and I'm not saying that anything that she's doing is orthodox, but she's working hard at it, you know?
	I mean, think about it.
	Have you opened your Bible enough to put a post-it on it?
	This is why I say, we don't sit here in judgment of other people, you know, but we look at it as to what we can learn.
	Right?
	We understand that we are all beggars looking for bread, and wherever we find something, we point to it and tell other people that it's there as well.
	So, she said, it was a book that had been studied and prayed over thousands of times.
	She moved through it with laser precision, guiding me to verse after verse as I struggled to read through my blurry, tear-filled eyes.
	She said, the pain of life sometimes can consume your entire reality.
	And the injustice, the loss, the extreme nature of all can feel genuinely unbearable.
	The weight of the world, perpetuated by greed, by lies, by indifference, can often feel hopeless.
	Diane looked at me and said with absolute certainty that Jesus could save me, that his blood is able to wash away sins and defeat the darkness that haunts the innocent.
	You see?
	Whether or not she's got it all right, I don't think she does have it all right, but she can get to the essence of the truth.
	And this is why we shouldn't be concerned that we don't have all of our theological ducks in a row.
	The gospel, just like I said with J.D. Vance, I don't know what his motivation is for that.
	Maybe he's sincere.
	Maybe he's not.
	He's a politician.
	What he had to say, regardless of his motivation for saying it, as Paul said, he said some people preach Christ out of greed, some people preach him out of other motivations, he said, but I just rejoice that he's preached, and I hope that we can all have that kind of attitude.
	She said, I've always believed in God, but I never fully grasped the reality of the devil.
	Growing up with a father who seemed to be overcome by his demons, I tried to avoid...
	Quote, unquote, bad energy.
	She puts it in quotes.
	He was addicted to alcohol and would fall into manic rages, yelling profanities at the wall.
	He would scream, laugh, cry, and wail all in a single evening, alone, downstairs in our home in Oakland.
	I was taught that my father was a sick person, but I never seriously considered whether demons were real until recently.
	She said, my last year in politics, here's the thing, my last year in politics changed that.
	You get into politics, you get into these big media stuff, and you realize just how real it is.
	Let me tell you, folks.
	No question about it.
	No question about it.
	Learning just how far some will go to inflict atrocities on innocent Americans has shocked me awake.
	Boy, I tell you, you can't miss it.
	That's why I look at this stuff and I look at these influencers who are pushing for war and pushing for the rest of this stuff.
	It just amazes me.
	Amazes me how people can jump into that and how they can deceive their own followers.
	Knowingly deceiving them.
	Oh yeah, he knows about Agent Provocator.
	Yeah, he does.
	He absolutely does.
	He does.
	He wrote the book on it.
	Unexplainable events, she said, have also forced me to reconsider whether we are waging a war, not merely with flesh and blood, but with spiritual forces.
	Many people shy away from acknowledging the reality of spiritual warfare, but anyone who has seen addiction up close or lived through deep trauma and witnessed how evil takes hold in this world knows that the battle of good versus evil isn't just theoretical.
	It is real, and it is all around us.
	Yeah, and this is why I read her testimony to you.
	It could be addiction to alcohol.
	It could be money.
	It could be other drugs.
	It could be power.
	It could be sex.
	It could be any of these other things.
	And you can see the fruit of it.
	When you get into politics, you can see the fruit of it.
	Let me just say that is absolutely true.
	She said, so now, she said, I'm a Jew for Jesus.
	Have a good day.
	The Common Man.
	music They created common core to dumb down our children.
	They created common past to track and control us.
	Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing.
	And the communist future.
	They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
	But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
	That is what we have in common.
	That is what they want to take away.
	Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
	They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
	It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
	Please share the information and links you'll find at TheDavidKnightShow.com.
	Thank you for listening.
	Thank you for sharing.
