	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	The David Knight Show.
	As the clock strikes 13, it's Thursday, the 6th of March of our Lord 2025.
	Well, today we're going to take a look at the tariffs, back and forth, back and forth.
	And so now they're going to come off for 30 days.
	Off of cars.
	So everybody can build new factories in the U.S. in the next 30 days to make this all work.
	It's one of the things that Lutnik was talking about.
	But we're going to primarily focus today on the efforts to rebuild your trust.
	And to have people like Redfield and Burks come out and tell us that, oh, yeah, you know, all that stuff.
	We got that wrong.
	But it's a limited hangout.
	It's there to build trust.
	As they are stepping on the gas when it comes to measles and bird flu and vaccinating, I guess we could say our vittles.
	Vax the vittles, as Granny would say.
	That's what they're trying to do.
	They're trying to stick it in us through our food.
	So we'll take a look at that.
	We'll also take a look at what is happening with Doge.
	Someone who has said that perhaps Bitcoin was created by a group of people.
	Well, when we look at the fallout from the tariffs, as I spent a good deal of time yesterday, I said it makes absolutely no sense when you look at the tariffs that have been done in the past,
	you look at those that were done in the 1828 and so forth, it created a big crisis, almost led to Uh, secession at that time, a civil war, but it wasn't, the timing was not right in terms of a fourth turning.
	And, uh, that was, uh, targeted.
	That was targeted to protect certain industries, as were the ones that were done around McKinley.
	Some of them that were introduced when he was a congressman.
	Isn't that interesting that that's the, uh, taxes are supposed to come from Congress.
	President can support it.
	President McKinley did support it, but as a congressman, he created, uh, the first, um, He put legislation through, and then later other people, when he was president, did legislation that he supported.
	Well, in all of those cases in the 1800s, the terrorists were there to protect specific industries.
	They were very targeted.
	And then when you look at Jefferson, what he had done is reduced the size of government.
	And then basically relied on tariffs for revenue rather than any other form of taxation.
	But neither of those are in play with Trump's tariffs.
	And immediately, we had Lutnik saying, well, possibly some of these are going to be changed.
	Right away, he said that.
	It's like, they had 30 days to think about this, right?
	They put the tariffs on, so we're going to take it off for 30 days.
	Then they say, right, and it's on.
	And there's nothing that they can do about it, says Trump.
	Well, evidently, some people talked to him, and there was something they could do about it.
	And what they did was they pulled back the car tariffs.
	The other tariffs that are coming in, and the other goods that we have, are going to not be as transparent to the public and will not have as big of an effect as the car tariffs.
	Why are the car tariffs a bigger effect?
	Because I said from the very beginning that because these companies have been pushed and incentivized by Trump, When he did the USMCA in his first term and by other organizations, they've been incentivized to do distributed manufacturing.
	So they're going to have parts and cars made in US, Mexico, Canada, bringing them back and forth.
	And every time they cross the border, they're going to add that tax again.
	So it's like a VAT tax.
	So the tax on automobiles is really magnified.
	Really magnified.
	Plus, you're paying it all at once.
	You know, when you're going to the grocery store...
	Prices go up 1, 2, 5% or whatever.
	You don't realize it as much right away.
	It's distributed over a period of time.
	You go and you buy a car.
	Now that they're up to $40,000, $50,000 actually.
	$40,000 was just a few years ago.
	Now the average price is $50,000.
	So when you go ahead and spend $50,000, even if it's just a couple of percent change, you notice that.
	And so they were saying this is going to add $4,000 to the price of some of these SUVs.
	Some of them are going to disappear entirely.
	Because it won't be economical for us to make them and bring them in.
	Because their final assembly is in Mexico or Canada or something like that.
	And for the EVs, it was going to go up $12,000.
	So they decided that, wait a minute, let's think about this.
	Well, you didn't think about this before you put the policy out?
	That's what I mean.
	It's so indicative of the reckless, chaotic attitude that he's doing.
	Astounded at the cheerleading going on with the Trump sucker proxies out there.
	That's what I call the MAGA media now.
	You know, call them the Trump sucker proxy.
	Remember that movie?
	From the Golden Brothers, a sucker proxy?
	Well, that's what these people are, except they're Trump suckers.
	And they want to sucker you into this thing as well.
	They're proxies for Trump.
	And so I started looking around to see how some of the people were reporting this.
	Oh, it was the lead story for Alex.
	Alex Jones out there.
	Look at this!
	We're winning big time in Panama!
	And it's like, you idiot.
	You have no idea.
	There's six different companies that have these ports.
	The two that were taken were with a Hong Kong company, as I pointed out yesterday.
	From 1999, they've run this stuff.
	Trump didn't have any problem with it the first time around.
	And you still got a Taiwanese company and I forget the other ports that are owned out there.
	But none of those companies own the canal.
	And so two out of the six ports were turned over to BlackRock.
	What a victory that is.
	Isn't that great, Alex?
	BlackRock, who is running ESG and DEI and using their leverage that they had with...
	Big corporations all over the world, especially here in the United States, to push ESG and DEI. And I said, and I really do think that it's perhaps one of the reasons why these companies pull back.
	Look, they pulled back because they were concerned about what was going to be happening with ESG and DEI. But for them personally, and some of them have not, for them personally to pull back really quickly, all at once, were they that afraid of Trump or were they that afraid of BlackRock?
	Dumping their stock or whatever they could, whatever the BlackRock blackmail that they have over all of these corporations.
	BlackRock is not about making money.
	They're about pushing an agenda as much as anything else.
	But hey, they would like to make some money.
	They can be bought.
	So, you know, if the deal before all this happened was that we're going to make a big show for the MAGA people, gain their trust, their confidence, their loyalty.
	Look, we're taking back the Panama Canal.
	How patriotic.
	How America first.
	Well, they give billions to Israel and push for war there.
	Yeah, that's great.
	America first.
	They fall for that.
	They fall for the Epstein files.
	They fall for all of this stuff.
	And they've got the Trump sucker proxy media out there pushing people with this stuff all the time.
	So when you look at what Trump is doing, It is about chaos.
	It's about deconstruction.
	It's about accelerating change.
	Yeah, when you look at these technocrats, one of the things that they love is accelerating change.
	They even call themselves accelerationists.
	We've got to go faster, faster, faster.
	The motto of Silicon Valley, move fast, break things, right?
	They're moving fast to break all of our institutions.
	And nobody is asking, what comes next?
	What does a government Look like that Elon Musk and Peter Thiel would want to see.
	And people like Alex Karp.
	If you see that technocratic vision of the future, you would not be cheering.
	And it's only if you're blind to what these people hope to establish that you would cheer any of this stuff.
	So it was kind of interesting.
	Paul Krugman, a guy with whom I have absolutely no agreements with.
	You know, I played Trudeau yesterday.
	This is a trade war that is absolutely unnecessary.
	He was absolutely right.
	And he says it's going to raise prices on a lot of stuff for all of you.
	Why are we doing this?
	This doesn't make any sense.
	Trump is making Trudeau look good.
	The World Economic Forum puppet.
	He's making Paul Krugman, of all people, look good.
	Listen to what Krugman says.
	He says, Trump's address to Congress on Tuesday, in which he made boasts about boosting auto manufacturing, Even as his tariffs on Canada and Mexico threaten to cripple auto supply chains.
	That's something Trump has done more to cripple our supply chains in 2020 and now than any other president in my lifetime.
	I've never seen a president do so much damage to our supply chains as Donald Trump.
	And I don't think it's stupidity.
	I think it's intentional.
	The people who have installed him, who control him.
	He said the U.S. will be hampered by the tariffs on America's two biggest trading partners, given the way that cars are assembled across all three countries.
	And again, when I talked about tariffs yesterday, I said in the past, tariffs were used by Jefferson for revenue when he reduced the size of government.
	Later on, it was used to protect individual industries.
	It was protectionist.
	It was targeted.
	These are not targeted.
	These are not about revenue.
	They're attacks against countries.
	What is the purpose of these tariffs, if not to create chaos and division?
	And he's been very successful at that, unifying other countries against us.
	But he's been very successful in creating this kind of division.
	He says, there isn't a U.S. auto industry.
	There is a North American industry.
	That operates in all three countries.
	Now, you may not like that, or you may like that.
	Whatever your position is on, that's the reality.
	And that was a reality that was created by Trump in his first administration.
	Not created, but I should say promulgated and intensified because he had, you know, USMCA was just a relabeling, a rebranding with some minor tweaks of NAFTA. It was like his renaming of the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf of America.
	So that was what USMCA was.
	His renaming of NAFTA in his honor, essentially, so he could brag about it.
	Krugman argued that the U.S. right now is like being trapped in a burning Tesla.
	He says, if you don't know this, he said the doors on Musk's cars are designed to open electronically.
	If they have manual releases at all, they're difficult to get at and to use.
	As a result, he said, there have been multiple instances of people being burned alive inside of Teslas when the engines catch right.
	They don't have engines, Paul.
	He's right about the rest of this stuff, but they don't have engines.
	Well, he says, large parts of the U.S. economy and government appear to be on the verge of self-immolation.
	Yeah, they're trying to push really hard on Tesla.
	That seems like that right now.
	They think that's how they can harm Musk.
	He's way beyond that.
	He's too diversified for them to be able to harm him that way.
	But that is true about the doors.
	I have a friend who has a Tesla.
	He let me drive it.
	It was a great driving car.
	Low center of gravity.
	Super fast acceleration.
	And handled well.
	But he got stuck in his car one day.
	Some kind of software bug would not let him open the doors.
	And he said, fortunately, I had my phone with me.
	And I got on the phone with tech support.
	He doesn't know about the manual release.
	I mean, I've read about the manual release after that horrific situation.
	We had several people die inside of a Tesla.
	And they said, you know, you better start.
	Getting acquainted with and even tell your passengers about the release thing.
	It's not easy to get at either.
	It's kind of like you get on a plane and I guess you stand up and say, if there's an emergency, you'll have this stuff drop down from the top and you put on your life jacket and all the rest of the stuff.
	So you tell that, if you've got a Tesla, you tell that to your passenger friends.
	Oh, by the way.
	If you need to get out of this car, here's where the emergency release is because the door handles don't work except through electronics.
	So he was stuck inside his car for about a half hour while he was on the phone.
	And since they're constantly connected to your car, another thing I don't like, they were able to open the doors for him eventually with customer support.
	So how do we get out of this burning country?
	It's burning to the ground.
	Are they really trying to engineer a recession?
	This was asked by MarketWatch.
	And they were serious about it.
	They looked at it and they said, well, maybe Trump is intentionally trying to take the economy down into a recession that they think they can pull back as a way to get interest rates lowered.
	I don't know.
	I mean, this is, I guess we could say this is a conspiracy theory, right?
	This is a strategist at Nomura dubbed Wall Street's most wired analyst by the Financial Times for his letters based on the options market.
	And he laid out these arguments in a note to clients.
	He said Trump and his administration need an engineered recession to cause a growth slowdown and disinflation.
	That will translate into Fed rate cuts and a meaningfully weaker U.S. dollar for the next phase of his economic agenda.
	Well, it might be that there's something longer term about all this.
	If you really understand where Musk is and where they want to go with the technocracy, you understand that it is much deeper than that.
	The engineered catastrophe that they want to create.
	Rate cut expectations are increasing.
	Markets have been unsettled this week by Trump's imposition of tariffs on Canada and Mexico, and also by doubling them on China.
	As surveys of both companies and consumers turn sharply lower, polymarket traders are now pricing 37% chance of a U.S. recession this year.
	The S&P 500 down 5% from its mid-February peak and 2% for the year.
	But then after Trump said, okay, we'll give another 30 days pause to the automakers.
	I guess somebody did something about fentanyl?
	What a joke that is.
	So that's what Lutnick was talking about.
	He even said, The Big Three automakers got him on the phone and were saying, hey, wait a minute, this is crazy how much damage it's going to do.
	So they have delayed the damage for 30 days.
	Delayed tariffs on automobile imports for one month after requests from executives of the Big Three automakers, GM Ford and Stellantis.
	Again, this was not considered.
	And there's no focus.
	There's no focus on particular industries.
	This is a focus on countries.
	And then some of our industries say, you're going to kill us.
	That's what I said.
	The one-two punch.
	Biden regulations and Trump tariffs are going to kill the auto industry.
	After they push them, push them to distribute their supply lines and their manufacturing across the three countries, now Trump is going to attack Mexico and Canada along these lines.
	It's idiotic.
	It's beyond idiotic.
	It's sinister.
	In its stupidity, if it is stupid.
	Or sinister in its plan.
	It comes less than two days after Trump issued 25% tariffs and said, no, not going to be exceptions, right?
	GM produces its Chevy Equinox in Mexico and Canada.
	Ford's Lincoln Nautilus SUVs and Stellantis' Dodge Chargers are made in Ontario.
	Multiple automotive suppliers also have factories in the two countries, and so parts as well.
	Car prices are already at historic highs.
	The tariffs, as I said, are going to be from $4,000 for some of the SUVs up to $12,000 for some of the EVs that were going to be out there.
	Trump expects GM, Ford, and Stellantis to shift production to the U.S. before the tariffs kick off at the end of the month.
	He's never built anything.
	Yeah, sure, you can do that.
	You can move your factories in a month, right?
	Ford CEO Jim Farley said last month in an investor talk, the company doesn't have excess capacity at its plants to shift production.
	Ford could withstand tariffs in the short term, he said, but if they persisted, they would, quote, blow a hole in the U.S. car industry that we've never seen before.
	You see, as I said, the plan is to get rid of all private cars, including electric cars, you know.
	They're pretty clear about this.
	And Musk has been pretty clear about it as well.
	His vision for the future that he is working on with President Musk and his puppet, Trump, he wants to make sure that he rents everybody transportation by the ride if you get a car at all, if you can afford it.
	And so he wants to get rid of all private cars.
	He wants everybody renting his...
	Self-driving taxis.
	He doesn't want any taxi drivers either.
	No taxi drivers.
	No Uber drivers.
	No private cars.
	He will control everything.
	Do you have a problem with that?
	See, I've got a real problem with that.
	Through February, nearly half of all new vehicles sold in the U.S. were built in the U.S., but 17% of them were built in Mexico and 7.5% in Canada, according to data from Edmonds.
	Since Trump's USMCA was signed, Ford has invested billions in the United States and has committed to billions more in the future to both invest in American workers and ensure all of our vehicles comply with USMCA, said a statement from Ford.
	This is a big rug pull.
	Trump, the very person who put in the USMCA and told them what to do, is now pulling the rug out from underneath him.
	What do you think he's going to do with the Bitcoin reserve?
	So, the pause in all of this goes back to Lutnik.
	By the way, Canada contributes less than 1% fentanyl to the United States supply, according to both the Canadian and the U.S. government.
	So, is this really about fentanyl?
	Of course it isn't.
	It really isn't.
	Stock market surges after he says, we'll give you a one-month tariff.
	You see, that's the reaction.
	Stock market tanks, and they come back and say, well, we'll give them 30 days for the cars.
	And so then the stock market went up 1% on Dow.
	The president's giving them an exemption for one month so that they're not at an economic disadvantage, said the White House spokesperson Levitt.
	But what about consumers?
	What about other people that are hurt with this stuff?
	Well, I guess the other people can't get on the phone with Lucky Lutnik and get a private meeting.
	Ford's stock price ended the trading day up nearly 6%.
	GM was up 7%.
	Stellantis was up 9%.
	And so...
	A listener sent this to me.
	It was a piece.
	He said this guy Sam Cooper has done several of these, looking at both the Chinese infiltration of the Canadian government, and we know that there's been quite a few cases of this that have been exposed, and that is always going to be the case everywhere.
	And so a mayor, Brad West, there describes U.S. government's concerns with Canada.
	He says that he would serve as fentanyl czar.
	If a new government in Ottawa wanted to call for a fentanyl czar, and I'm not disputing the fact that there are corrupt officials in China and America and everywhere else that are bought by China, and we see that all the time.
	What I'm saying, though, is that It's not China as much as it is big pharmaceutical companies.
	When you look at the opioid epidemic, that was happening while we had control of Afghanistan.
	And we had access to the poppy fields that were there.
	And they went from less than 10% of the world's supply under our control to over 90% of the world's supply under our control.
	Folks, the biggest drug dealers in the world.
	There's a U.S. government, especially the CIA. They created the crack cocaine epidemic.
	They created, along with their pharmaceutical pals, the opioid epidemic.
	Fentanyl is a synthetic version of opioids that is much more concentrated, of course.
	And it has popped up, interestingly enough, as the Afghan thing played down.
	The fentanyl takes its place.
	It's coming from the pharmaceutical companies.
	It's coming from the U.S. government.
	It's coming from the CIA. We have met the enemy of the drug war, and they is us.
	Let's not lose sight of that.
	It has always been the U.S. government that has been pushing the drug war.
	What utter hypocrisy added to the obvious lies for Trump to try to pretend that this is a basis for a trade war.
	A basis for attacking a country.
	And again, it is dangerous, and it is absolutely unwarranted.
	A North American house hippo says the tariffs on Mexico and Canada will disrupt the supply chain with such immediate effect that thousands of American auto workers will be laid off.
	Brilliant, yeah.
	That's right.
	Mulitan Milankovic says, is now a monthly supporter.
	Thank you very much.
	And he gifted five subscriptions to the show.
	Thank you.
	I appreciate that very much.
	Thank you for the support.
	Have we changed the gauge on the website?
	Yes.
	Okay.
	12 June 1776. No industry is protected by tariffs with a debt deficit, usury devaluation, and a paper monetary system.
	I agree.
	Look, the best thing they could do.
	Okay, so the theory is if you're going to, Move manufacturing to the U.S., which this is not about.
	This is absolutely not about that.
	It's not targeted to any particular industry.
	And it's not about raising revenue.
	It's about creating chaos and animosity and division.
	But if you're going to try to rebuild American industry...
	The best thing you could do would be to lower taxes and to lower regulations, especially to lower regulations.
	If somebody wants to get into a business, what is in their way?
	Regulations.
	When you look at the car industry, for example, why have we seen all of these startups everywhere?
	Whether you're talking about, and they've failed.
	They have failed.
	I mean, I've seen startups, the Elio startup.
	Which is an internal combustion engine, but it's a very small one, maybe two-passenger vehicle.
	They could set one person behind you or something like that.
	He was trying to make it extremely simple.
	And he was trying to make it very cheap as a little commuting advice.
	He had to do a three-wheel car.
	Because if he did four wheels...
	Then the regulators of the federal government were going to come down on you all kinds of regulations.
	So he could avoid those regulations.
	And some states would still get it.
	But he could avoid the massive and oppressive regulations that prevent any car company startups by going to three wheels.
	And I've seen a lot of these.
	There's another one I can't remember.
	The whole, Aptera, Aptera was, yeah.
	And it was, the whole top of it was solar panels, and it looks really wild, you know, really strange-looking, futuristic, I guess you could say.
	But it's a three-wheel thing.
	They go to three wheels because of the oppressive regulations.
	The government has, and the auto industry, has used the government to regulate any would-be competitors out of existence.
	To saw off the lower rungs of the ladder of competition.
	And so if you want industry to thrive and to grow, you need to cut the regulations.
	You need to cut the presence of government in our lives, whether it is regulation or financial stuff.
	Instead, what Trump is doing is he's tweaking around the corner a little bit, you know, shave here and shave there and publicize.
	Well, I'm going to do a tax cut for waitresses.
	Yeah, that's going to make America great again.
	And I don't begrudge them their tax cut, but it isn't going to do anything.
	It's little stuff like that.
	I'm going to lower the corporate tax rates down to 15%, and I'm going to make these other tax cuts permanent.
	And so he adds another tax.
	He hasn't cut taxes, and he hasn't cut regulations.
	And if you want to build industry, and if you want to make America productive, and if you want to make America wealthier, which they don't, they want to impoverish us, folks.
	They're trying to get you to trust Trump, but he's part of this enslavement program that is out there.
	If they really wanted to set us free, they'd cut the chains of regulation and taxes.
	They're not doing that.
	We're the conservatives.
	Oh, that's right.
	They're now Trump sucker proxies.
	It's disgusting.
	It's disgusting to see these people cheer this.
	And I know they know better.
	All of their life.
	They've talked about this.
	Just like Alex, all of his life he would talk about mercury and aluminum in the vaccines.
	Then it's like, oh, you can take that.
	It's just sugar, water, plus mercury and aluminum.
	Are you kidding me?
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	We'll be right back.
	Though, that's gotten tougher since they've stopped making them.
	Maybe it's time to start saving a different type of coin.
	Such as the new David Knight Show supporter commemorative coin.
	Saving these coins earns support for independent media.
	Featuring striking bas-relief with bold raised details and premium painted accents.
	It's not just a trinket, but a statement, a declaration, a way to show you refuse to be controlled by the establishment.
	It's a limited run of just 100 coins.
	So, much like the penny, when they're gone, they're gone.
	They silence independent voices.
	They censor the truth.
	But you can stand with real journalism and own a piece of the resistance.
	These coins saved is The David Knight Show sustained.
	Available now at thedavidknightshow.com.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	And this is the coin, the actual size you can see in my hand.
	I'll hold it up like Ben did.
	It's a large coin.
	And it's a vast relief.
	It's painted.
	It's a nice coin.
	And I want to thank Ryan for doing that.
	And they're all numbered.
	From 1 to 100. And when they're gone, they're gone.
	Well, let's talk a little bit about Michael Manure.
	His actual name is Michael Mann.
	I call him Michael Menur because he's been shoveling this stuff, piling it higher and deeper.
	This is one of the guys who's been at the epicenter of the climate MacGuffin.
	It was his hockey stick that he called it.
	It's just basically an exponential curve.
	It was all a lie.
	There was no science involved.
	He fought...
	Like you can't believe, against his data being released after he had published it, after he had done it at a public university, after he had done it while he was, and emails that he was involved with the climate gate situation in the University of East Anglia in the UK. And I worked with a group that was suing him.
	And to try, well actually they weren't suing him.
	He was suing them to stop the data.
	They went to the University of Virginia.
	And so we'd like to see his data.
	And they sued the University of Virginia and said, we're not going to do it.
	So they sued him.
	And the University of Virginia acquiesced and said, okay, we'll give it to you.
	Because they made the case.
	This is a public university.
	It's been used for public policy, too.
	And Michael Mann had moved on to the University of Pennsylvania, which I believe he still is there to this day, unless he's retired.
	And so then he jumped in.
	So that's my personal data.
	No, it's not your personal data.
	You did it as part of your work.
	You did it on university computers.
	It was then used to create public policy.
	We'd like to see the data to see if you got it right.
	And if it is science, you're not concerned about people looking at it.
	Isn't that what science is about?
	Somebody's got a hypothesis or they said they did this.
	We see this all the time.
	Somebody says, I've got cold fusion.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, tell us what you did.
	Show us your data.
	Let's see if we can reproduce that or not.
	Well, he didn't want that, and he fought, and he won in court to keep it.
	Now, he also won in court a million-dollar judgment against Mark Stein, and this has been going on for like 12 years.
	He started that, you know, while he was suing the group that I was in to stop the data release, he sued Mark Stein because Mark Stein really laid into him with his acerbic wit.
	He couldn't handle that.
	And he won a case, and he got a million dollars, and they've been appealing this.
	And now this is, I think, a big victory, although he had a judge who has slashed this million-dollar judgment against him to $5,000.
	And he is also saying, because the co-defendants in this were National Review, I think it was National Review, and so he has...
	They have been awarded, yeah, National Review.
	They have been awarded $500,000.
	So his million dollar judgment has been slashed to $5,000.
	And oh, by the way, now he's got to pay $500,000 to National Review for how he harmed them.
	And of course, most of this stuff is going to go to legal fees because it's been dragging on for a very long time.
	Kind of reminiscent of what happened with Alex Jones' thing.
	Oh, look at that $1.5 billion judgment against him.
	It turns out it's going to be a couple of million dollars for him to buy back his company from this bankruptcy thing here.
	But he raised money as if he had billions of dollars that it was going to hit him.
	I mean, he had one.
	This is the other thing that really surprises me of the people who keep giving money to Alex.
	It's trusting him.
	He had one individual gave him in just one single transaction.
	This came out in court.
	They said, you got like an $8 million Bitcoin thing.
	And since he was under oath, he didn't want to get a perjury charge.
	Alex says, well, actually, no, it was $9 million.
	Do you remember that?
	Yeah, for some reason, that really didn't go that public.
	I thought that was a big deal.
	Who is the person who gave, in one transaction, Alex $9 million worth of Bitcoin?
	Okay, next question.
	Just move on and forget about it.
	Now that's way more than he's going to have to pay to get his company back.
	Not to mention all the other fundraisers.
	Anyway, going back to this case, though.
	Alex's was dropped from billions to millions.
	And now Mark Stein's fine has been dropped from millions to thousands.
	And both of these were about free speech, except that Mark Stein vigorously defended free speech, and Alex didn't.
	Alex refused to comply with the discovery, so he lost by default.
	Alex did not defend free speech.
	He chose to try to keep his cards hidden, which is why he lost.
	Anyway, in the long-running defamation lawsuit...
	Brought by Michael Mann, Michael Manure, against conservative commentator Mark Stein, the judge there has reduced Stein's punitive damages from an astronomical million dollars to a modest $5,000, vindicating Stein, protecting open debate, sending a powerful message about the limits of legal bullying, because that's what this was.
	The decision marks a triumphant turn in a 12-year legal saga.
	That began with Stein's 2012 blog post criticizing man's iconic hockey stick graph.
	The cornerstone of the climate change narratives, as a matter of fact, is a cornerstone of Al Gore's Convenient Lie documentary.
	He blows this thing up to a couple of stories at the graph, and he gets on a lift to take him up so he can make it.
	It's such...
	Garbage.
	Such overly dramatized garbage.
	And it was all based on a lie.
	And again, he would fight like a demon to try to keep all of his data secret.
	No scientist does that.
	Nobody who's telling the truth does that.
	The court's ruling not only slashes Stein's punitive damages to a reasonable 5,000, but it also declares the original million-dollar award unconstitutional.
	The judge said it was too excessive, it was too punitive, and it was out of step with the actual harm that man suffered.
	It's a victory for every skeptic, scientist, and citizen who dares to question orthodoxy in the public square.
	As I've said over and over again, I'll say it one more time, that if you don't have skepticism, it's not science.
	It's religion.
	If you're not allowed to question science, science is always about skepticism.
	And science only advances when somebody realizes that the accepted truth is not true.
	The $5,000 figure aligned with the jury's nominal $1 compensatory award.
	Again, I don't understand how you could come up with as much as a $5,000 figure there.
	A man has also been ordered to pay over $500,000 in legal costs to National Review.
	Stein's co-defendant in the case.
	I don't understand how...
	Anyway, this was rooted, and the reason that he's got to pay $500,000 is because of the District of Columbia's anti-slap law, which is to try to stop frivolous lawsuits.
	So, that right there says that they have agreed that this was a frivolous lawsuit.
	For years, skeptics have watched this case with bated breath, fearing it could muzzle honest inquiry into climate science.
	Michael Mann is one of the leaders of this fraud, this MacGuffin, and that's what they want to do.
	That's the whole purpose of all that, is to limit inquiry.
	Don't let anybody see what's really going on here.
	Mann's hockey stick graph.
	Central to his reputation.
	Has long been a lightning rod.
	Challenged by statisticians, researchers, commentators, and now by history.
	And by observation.
	From the guy that doesn't want you to observe his data.
	Stein criticized it for methodological flaws in data handling.
	Stein's post.
	While biting was an opinion, and it was not a factual falsehood, and the jury's initial million-dollar penalty seemed less about justice and more about punishing dissent.
	Today's ruling overturns that injustice, ensuring that critics of public figures like Michael Mann can speak without fear of financial ruin.
	It is a rebuke to man's lawfare tactics, which have drained resources from Stein, National Review, and CEI, the Competitive Enterprise Institute.
	As a matter of fact, they were.
	One of the guys who was a lawyer in the case that we were involved in had argued before the Supreme Court, and he was with the Competitive Enterprise Institute as well as the organization that I was with.
	While raising millions, Well, that's good.
	That's a victory.
	However...
	You know, when we look at the end results of all this, we're still going down the green MacGuffin, the climate MacGuffin.
	And a good example of this is Texas.
	And the people who are running, they cynically call it ERCOT, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, or something like that, right?
	But the R is about reliability.
	These are the people who put Texas on windmill power and shut down all the oil-producing power plants.
	Yeah, Texas is drowning in oil.
	You're not allowed to use that.
	And so, you know, the windmills froze famously.
	We had the big issue.
	We were there at the time.
	And now they're saying because of the AI data centers and because Texas wants them there and is doing everything they can to incentivize them there, Texas needs the equivalent of 30 nuclear reactors by 2030 to meet the data center power demand.
	After destroying their coal and oil plants, they were doing it left and right when I went there in 2012. And so now the only thing that can be built, because of this nonsense, the legacy of Michael Mann and Al Gore and the climate creeps that are out there, the legacy of all that is that we can only build nuclear power plants.
	Well, you know, when you build 30 nuclear reactors, your chance of an accident always goes up, doesn't it?
	You know, fewer of these you've got.
	They're really large.
	But now, you know, if everybody's got their own Mr. Fusion, or Mr. Fission, I guess we could say, then are they all going to be diligent in doing this?
	Probably not.
	The nuclear reactors, I think, have a potential, but regardless of their potential for accidents and big consequences, which I'm far more concerned about than coal, Or oil?
	Or natural gas?
	You know, there's not a lot of coal in Texas, but they got natural gas and they got oil.
	And coal, we have unbelievable amounts of coal.
	That's why they demonized it.
	Unbelievable amounts of coal in the United States.
	Uranium?
	Not so much.
	Of all the uranium that we currently use, and we don't have, you know, just in Texas, they're talking about putting in 30 new nuclear reactors.
	Where are they going to get the uranium for that?
	Not in America.
	We don't have it in America.
	You see, everything has to be, we have to shift to solar panels, which are manufactured in China, where China has all the materials that they need, and we don't, to manufacture the solar panels.
	They have the slave labor, the copyright piracy, and all the rest of the stuff.
	They have all of that currency manipulation, plus now they've also got a monopoly on cheap energy, because they're allowed to have coal power plants.
	And they don't have to make them clean at all.
	You know, coal plants can be dirty or they can be clean.
	They're more expensive if you make them clean.
	So they can go cheap and dirty in China.
	And that's just fine.
	So they have this huge advantage in terms of labor costs, in terms of materials that they control, and in terms of low-cost energy.
	But we've got to have solar panels.
	And we've got to have the windmills that they're going to make.
	And then if we say, okay, we'll go nuclear.
	Well, who's got the uranium?
	Like I said, currently right now, I mean, they're looking at an explosion in the number of nuclear reactors.
	Right now, we've only got 5% of the supply of uranium.
	That's going to go well below, well below 1% if you explode all this stuff and you start building reactors left and right.
	So 95% of the uranium that we use right now in 2023 came from other countries.
	What other countries?
	Canada, that we're going to war with, has 27% of the uranium that America uses comes from Canada.
	23% of the uranium that America uses right now comes from Australia.
	25% comes from Kazakhstan.
	Can you find that on the map?
	I can't.
	I mean, it's somewhere in those chaos-stan area, you know?
	What Gary North used to call it.
	He used to call all those different things just chaos, Stan, and just draw a big circle around it.
	It's just chaos, Stan.
	So yeah, 25% of our uranium comes from one of the countries in chaos, Stan.
	And then 14% comes from Russia.
	Russia's got uranium.
	We don't.
	In significant amounts.
	So right now, only 5% can we satisfy domestically.
	We only had 49,000 pounds of uranium produced in the United States in 2023. But we're going to explode the number of nuclear power plants.
	So just from a geopolitical standpoint, this is a pattern for slavery and dependence.
	And then we can talk about, you know, one form of power versus the other.
	Which one is simpler?
	Which one is cheaper?
	Which one is safer?
	In terms of if something goes wrong.
	But while the occasional hiccup is to be expected, the endgame for the U.S. infranuclear stock looks bright, says Zero Hedge.
	They said, you know, we told everybody the real play on all this stuff is don't invest in the artificial intelligence companies.
	Invest in the picks and the axes and the tools of this new gold rush.
	Instead of trying to discover gold on your own, go into the area and set up a general store and sell supplies to the...
	Prospectors that are going out there.
	And so they said your best play is they're going to need massive amounts of power.
	So your best play is to start investing in some of these companies that are going to build the little Mr. Fissions to power these data centers.
	And they said in spite of the growing speculation, That China's deep, seek, and other large language model alternatives will result in far lower capital expenditure demands than what is currently projected.
	They said, we still think that this is a really good thing, you know, getting into the power plant production for these data centers.
	Texas, where demand on the state power grid is expected to expand so immensely that it would take the equivalent of adding 30 nuclear power plants by 2030. According to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, which mismanages the grid as it's there.
	And of course, Trump is fully aware of all of this.
	And you saw that in his Stargate presentation.
	He said, when they're talking about the data centers, when they're talking about manufacturing plants, he goes, just build your data centers right there at the plant, because the grid is old, it's unreliable, and it's vulnerable to attack.
	And Trump is not going to do anything about any of those things.
	He's going to leave it old, vulnerable to attack, and unreliable.
	He wants, because the people who are running him, these technocrats, want to have a monopoly on energy, they're going to have their own private grid.
	As a matter of fact, in Texas, they put in a law saying that companies that can adjust their peak power demand, Don't have to pay to support the grid.
	So what do you think is going to happen to the grid for the rest of us?
	Well, we know.
	They don't intend for us to have food, freedom, liberty, mobility, or electricity.
	ERCOT said it's gotten requests that are equal to 99 gigawatts, which is...
	Really huge.
	The state grid is projecting that peak power demand will jump by 75% by 2030 from the current record of 85 gigawatts.
	So right now, peak demand has been 85 gigawatts, and they want them to add another 99 gigawatts.
	So the people of Texas will pay a great deal for the power supply needs, I guess, for this.
	And they said only Texas is aware of the power demand tsunami that is coming for everybody.
	It's not just going to be in Texas.
	And guess what?
	The rest of us are going to be without.
	The rest of us will be experiencing blackouts and brownouts because we're not allowed to use the fuel that we have in abundance.
	We're not allowed to use the power plants that we have in abundance.
	But China is.
	China can use real dirty power plants and they can build six of them every week.
	They're trying to figure out how to bring online data centers without adding stress to the grid, which would increase the chance of the blackouts.
	Well, good luck with that.
	There's one big question as to whether infrastructure can be built fast enough.
	Because of supply chain issues, resulting in long wait times for things like big turbines to produce electricity and other key equipment, such as transformers.
	Now, again, uranium fuel, where's that going to come from?
	Well, if you look at Trump coming after Canada, Canada is the biggest supplier, 27%, the biggest single, Since we don't have uranium that we know of in the United States, but we're going to put tariffs against everything in Canada, right?
	That's what I mean.
	These tariffs are not targeted towards anything.
	So they're going to put tariffs on uranium that we've got to have from Canada.
	I mean, it just underscores how stupid and dangerously stupid these Trump policies are.
	Why are you going to put taxes against something that you don't have?
	So, they're not trying to protect it.
	This also creates another issue.
	They've shifted the cost for the grid and for power transmission.
	They've shifted it away from these industries.
	Right now, because the data centers are going to be very much like the mining centers, there was a law that was put in two decades ago in Texas that allowed the state's chemical plants, refineries, And even Bitcoin miners at the time, they were started by the state's chemical plants.
	They said, if it's going to be a, we've got a heat wave coming in, or we've got a freezing wave coming in, and your peak demand is going to go up, well, then we can shut down our data center or our power supply stuff like that.
	We can shut that down.
	Well, the data centers can't really shut down.
	The Bitcoin miners can pull back.
	The data centers are going to have to stay online.
	But they're saying the state's chemical plants, Bitcoin miners, can reduce or eliminate millions of dollars of contributions for grid updates by throttling back their power usage during high-demand periods in the summer months.
	Because typically it's the heat that they need.
	So we'll have to see.
	We'll have to see what happens.
	DGA. Thank you, he says.
	David, Pam Bondi.
	Put the whole Epstein ordeal on hold.
	She's now in full force investigating anti-Semitism at California and Berkeley.
	They're showing you how important the protection of children is.
	There was never going to be anything.
	Like I said yesterday, the guy who, back in 2015, uploaded the data said, what if I told you there wasn't any Epstein files?
	The whole thing is fraud.
	It's all PR. It's all, you know, watch the dancing ponies over here.
	That's everything that Trump is doing.
	That's why I don't believe that the, except for the fact that the goal of Musk and the technocrats is to take down the existing government and to reestablish their government that is going to be running off of AI and going to be maximizing the governance of us.
	But they have to destroy what is currently there.
	Except for that, I don't buy any of the stuff that's happening with Doge.
	And of course, they've lost some major court cases as well already.
	Narrowway Narrowgate Ministries says Texas was fine with its coal power plants, having scrubbers that emitted only water and pure CO2, and they shut it down because CO2 is banned due to climate fraud.
	Just another way to make money.
	That reminds me.
	I saw an article and somebody said, well, you know, since most of the...
	It's been...
	And it had not occurred to me.
	They said, everybody will tell you that the biggest greenhouse gas is water vapor.
	Water vapor.
	Why aren't we stopping water vapor?
	You know, CO2 is only 0.04%.
	Most of it is water vapor.
	Why is it okay to have...
	But we've had them come back and say, well, look, this is a zero-emission vehicle.
	You know, you get some of these fuel cell vehicles or something like that.
	Or something else.
	I mean, maybe even some of these hydrogen things where they say, well, the only exhaust product that comes out of the tailpipe is water vapor.
	It's like, well, that's worse than CO2. It is.
	It is.
	Why is that okay?
	If the vast majority of the greenhouse gases are water, why is it okay that it just has water coming out of the tailpipe?
	And again, we need CO2. The plants need CO2. We need the plants.
	North American house hippo.
	I'm surprised an engineer of David's caliber wouldn't realize that Mr. Fusion only powers time circuits.
	The DeLorean time machine still runs on ordinary gasoline.
	That's right.
	That's right.
	I don't know, but in the future, didn't it run on Mr. Fusion?
	I'm not sure.
	I have to go back and check that, my sources.
	DGA, David, how long before the David Knight coin becomes more valuable than the Trump and Melania mean coin?
	I just bought one, and I don't tread on me a shirt.
	So, thank you very much for supporting us.
	I appreciate that.
	Well, one thing is this David Knight coin is physical.
	You can hold it in your hand, unlike the Melania coin or the Trump coin.
	They've lost 90% of their value right away, but they made a lot of money off it.
	Trump and Melania, I can laugh about it, but they made a lot more money than I'm going to make off of these coins, that's for sure.
	So, before we leave this climate stuff...
	What's for dinner?
	Rodents?
	This is sent to me by listener Joseph.
	Thank you for saying this.
	This is from The Guardian.
	I didn't see it.
	California officials are urging you to eat rats now.
	Instead of eat the bugs, eat the rats.
	It's a nutria thing.
	They're rodents, but they're big.
	They're like a beaver or something.
	It doesn't taste like chicken.
	It tastes like rabbit or dark turkey meat.
	The nutria, a large semi-aquatic rodent, Native to South America is threatening the state's ecosystem by destroying habitats and out-competing native wildlife.
	It's an illegal immigrant.
	It's breeding faster than the natives as well.
	Nutria were originally introduced to the U.S. for the fur trade, but have since established themselves in as many as 18 states.
	They can grow to be as large as a beaver or a small dog.
	They were believed to have been eradicated from California in the 1970s, but a spike was detected in 2017. They do a great deal of damage to wetlands.
	They eat a tremendous amount of vegetation, up to their own body weight in vegetation every day.
	And as a result, it destabilizes the soil structures, results in heavy erosion and other things like that.
	So California has resorted to Publish, pushing people to eat them.
	Eat your competition.
	There you go.
	And they've got recipes online you can find at Nutria.com.
	Presumably for the rest of us who are fortunate enough not to have these things yet, I guess we could take some of those Nutria.com recipes and use them for dark turkey meat as well.
	But it is unknown whether or not lab-grown meat is safe to eat.
	It's unknown?
	Well, they haven't done any tests.
	Let's just put it that way.
	I know it's not safe to eat.
	You know it's not safe to eat.
	The FDA has given its approval to be sold, however.
	Where's RFK Jr.?
	Is he going to tackle this?
	I mean, he could tackle this because this is not at the moment, I think.
	Not a project of big pharma, so it'd be safe for him maybe to attack it.
	You know, he can talk about vitamins and some things like that.
	It gets them upset when he talks about vitamins.
	The mainstream press doesn't want you talking about nutrition.
	But, you know, the really dangerous thing is to attack the big pharmaceutical companies, and I don't think he's going to do that.
	So, when lab-grown meat is created, Using immortalized cell lines, cells that have been genetically modified to divide indefinitely.
	Sounds like cancer, because it is like cancer.
	Switching on, I wonder if somebody were to go in and put some apricot seeds into these vats, if you could stop all this.
	You've got PETA who goes on and tries to attack the farms and things like that.
	Maybe in the future somebody will go in.
	If it's something that is cancerous, you know, you could perhaps stop it with the Laetrile with the B17, the apricot seeds.
	By the way, rncstore.com.
	Use the code NIGHT for 10% off.
	Especially if you're considering eating cancerous material.
	You might want to look at a really good, a long history.
	And by the way, they have the books there.
	You can see G. Edward Griffin's book, The World Without Cancer, is available there.
	And he can give you the story of why he broke that story.
	The doctor who came to him said, you know, I'd had...
	Good luck treating my animals who had terminal cancer.
	I had a nurse who worked for me that did this.
	Now word of mouth is getting out there.
	I'm really, you know, I can't publicly do this.
	So he goes to G. Edward Griffin, who writes the book, A World Without Cancer.
	You can find that at rncstore.com.
	And you can also get the apricot seeds.
	And they even have it.
	Those are pretty bitter.
	And you can also get it in a pill form as well.
	But anyway, they're genetically modified to divide indefinitely like a cancer cell.
	That's this meat.
	They switch on the enzyme telomerase, which allows them to dodge aging and grow endlessly.
	These immortalized cells share certain traits with cancer cells, including non-stop growth, genetic chaos, and energy override.
	It's like you're eating a tumor.
	It might be a tumor.
	It's not a tumor.
	It's not a tumor at all.
	It's lab meat.
	It's lab meat.
	It's not a tumor.
	It's not a tumor, yeah?
	I think it is a tumor.
	It raises concerns about the safety of consuming these cells as they can become unstable.
	They can pile up changes that make them unpredictable, of course.
	Well, we're going to take a quick break and we will be right back.
	Here's a little song I wrote.
	You might want to hear it in your pod.
	You know nothing.
	And be happy.
	Ain't got no cash.
	Ain't got no car.
	But 24 booster shots in your arm.
	Oh, nothing.
	Be happy.
	You can't even buy s***.
	In the store, because of your low social credit score.
	Own nothing.
	Be happy.
	You will own nothing.
	Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo.
	And be happy.
	Be happy and eat the bugs.
	The egg plays a very prominent part in my lecture.
	Not a word about which came first, however.
	I don't believe in dealing with controversial matters.
	Thousands of years ago, man was satisfied merely to steal an egg from a nest and use it for food.
	Now he has perfected this process by imprisoning each hen in a separate cage and by scientifically manipulating the lights so that she doesn't fall into the rut of the old 24-hour day.
	Thus he can induce the bird to reach fantastic heights of egg production.
	Well, we have Reason Magazine saying...
	Saying, as Hitchcock pointed out, you put them in this tiny cage, where now they're all supposedly being contaminated by wild birds, even though these teeny tiny cages are all in a building as well.
	But Reason Magazine is looking at this bird flu thing, and you'll never guess what their take is on it.
	They say, are the cage-free laws to blame for the high egg prices?
	What are they talking about?
	I've never seen a more clueless take on what is happening than this.
	This is the most absurd thing.
	They completely have lost the plot.
	They've completely bought into this bird brain flu narrative that is out there.
	You know what's killing them?
	It's not cage-free laws, Reason.
	It's the USDA. The government is 100% responsible for it.
	They're the ones selling this nonsense thing about the pandemic.
	And look, Reason bought into this pandemic.
	All the way through.
	All the way through.
	They bought every aspect of it.
	They bought the vaccine, even.
	And here they are, buying into all of this stuff.
	No, it's the USDA that's killing the birds.
	It's not a virus.
	There's no pandemic.
	There's a PCR that is out there.
	Where are all the sick and dead wild birds, if it's coming from the wild birds?
	Where are they?
	I don't see them anywhere.
	So, the government itself also bears much of the responsibility for our current national egg panic, they said.
	Yeah, 100% of the responsibility, but they think that it's state laws about cage-free birds.
	You know, let's not cage them up in a teeny tiny cage.
	When you say cage-free, what does that mean?
	It means that they're still in a cage where they can move around.
	You know, there's other animals that are, like, confined in a teeny tiny cage.
	By the way, when we're talking about nutria, Owen 61 says, Nutria are plentiful here in Oregon.
	I'm so sorry.
	Retech Weird says, Nutria are a huge problem in waterways.
	New Orleans has a bounty on them.
	And they taste terrible.
	Well, I need to go to Nutria.com and get your cooking game up.
	Soylent Goy said, are moles any good on the grill?
	I don't even have to ask Mike Huckabee.
	He was famously talking about cooking squirrels in his dorm room when he was running for president.
	Remember that?
	Maybe he got some moles, too.
	I don't know.
	Anyway, so Reason talks about these state laws.
	It says, since 2018, California, Massachusetts, and close to a dozen other states have adopted cage-free laws.
	Banning caged eggs is a classic example of supposedly altruistic government policy resulting in detrimental unintended consequences.
	Given that over 60% of the nation's eggs are still laid by caged hens, Residents in these cage-free states are effectively cut off from two-thirds of America's egg supply.
	That is not the issue.
	The fact is that they're killing tens of millions and continuing in the Trump administration, killing tens of millions of egg-laying birds every month.
	That's the issue.
	It's not caged versus uncaged.
	Oh, you look, you know, because they've got cage-free laws here in these states.
	They don't have access to the supply of eggs, 60% of the supply.
	That's not it at all.
	That's not it at all.
	But that's their conclusion.
	It seriously is their conclusion.
	It's amazing.
	They said, for years, terms like free-range and cage-free have been lauded as advances in humane farming, when in reality, few, if any, eggs with these designations involve chickens whimsically tromping through idyllic grass meadows.
	Pecking at free-range bugs.
	Well, again, it's a joke.
	But, you know, reason, you need to also understand that you have accepted just as ridiculous as the cage-free label is.
	So is the label of pandemic.
	So is the PCR results.
	You need a dose of reality.
	It's absolutely amazing that they would have that take on it.
	The Trump administration's plan to lower the price of eggs, according to Town Hall.
	Agricultural Secretary Brooke Rollins is on it.
	She's got a five-point plan to immediately bring down the cost of eggs.
	Immediately.
	Okay.
	So how are you going to start laying eggs immediately when you have killed so many tens of millions of chickens?
	You know, the problem, folks, is the USDA. They are the problem.
	And then, of course, they create the problem, and then they offer you the solution, which is mRNA vaccinated food.
	So the USDA is going to devote up to a half a billion dollars to implement biosecurity measures.
	Biosecurity measures to keep those wild birds who are not sick and dying away from the chickens who are in tiny cages and houses, right?
	USDA has developed a successful pilot program.
	Called Wildlife Biosecurity Assessments to identify and implement more safety measures.
	Here's the thing.
	The canaries outside the coal mine are not dying.
	And the ones who are inside the coal mine are being killed by the USDA. But they're going to pretend.
	And so they come in and they say, so between January 2023 and January 2025, About 150 sites have undergone assessment of biosecurity against this diseased wildlife that is spreading like wildfire out there.
	None of them dying, though.
	They said only one of these 150 sites that we have gone to have subsequently been affected by avian flu.
	And so the USDA is now going to provide the consulting service at no cost to all commercial egg-laying chicken farms.
	And we will also pay up to 75% of the cost to repair biosecurity vulnerabilities.
	There you go.
	Big welfare program for these big farms, which is what this is all about.
	So they go out and they have an imaginary pandemic.
	And they go out and they do, at 150 sites, they set up their biosecurity measures to protect you from this imaginary thing.
	And then they tell you at the end of it, well, only one of these sites had an imaginary problem.
	But we've got lots of money.
	We're going to flood the area with money.
	Then they're going to also have another $400 million to go to provide financial relief.
	I've talked about this before.
	In other words, bribes to the big companies who get rid of their chickens on an annual basis anyway because their egg production goes down after the first year.
	But now the USDA will replace those chickens for them for free.
	And these are the big egg producers.
	Who have already been found guilty just recently, multi-million dollar judgment in a lawsuit that was brought by cereal companies and other people who use their eggs, said you're colluding together to fix the price.
	That was proven in court.
	They paid tens of millions of dollars for that.
	And now they're colluding with the USDA to fix the price.
	And the USDA, what the USDA wants out of it...
	Is vaccines for animals.
	USDA is committed to spending up to $100 million for research and development on vaccines for hens.
	Vaccines for hens.
	They want to vaccinate our vittles.
	Trump agriculture boss says cash-strapped Americans can raise their own chickens to save on eggs.
	And Mediaite is just amazed about this.
	How in the world can they say this?
	We have a terrible bird flu thing, and her suggestion is just raise your own chickens.
	And it was kind of an offhand remark.
	Because, you know, as we go down the road, as they go down, first they'll be satisfied just to sell hundreds, well, billions of vaccines.
	Like I said, it's not going to be about bird flu.
	It'll be about everything.
	Just look what they do to children.
	72 vaccines to little kids.
	Over and over and over again.
	What are they going to do to the animals?
	All of the animals will have the shots for everything that they can imagine.
	There'll be a shot.
	And there'll be boosters and all the rest of the stuff.
	So just take, you know, the billion or so animals, like chickens, cows, and pigs, and multiply that by multiple conditions and multiple boosters and stuff.
	A lot of money involved in that, and a lot of contamination of our food.
	So, Brooke Rollins offered the bizarre advice, according to media, they think that's bizarre advice, that you would raise your own chickens.
	On Fox& Friends, on Saturday, she said, I think the silver lining in all this is how we, in our backyards, we've got chickens too in our backyard.
	How do we solve for something like this, said Rollins.
	And people are sort of looking around and saying, wow, well, maybe I can get a chicken in my backyard.
	And it is awesome, she said.
	as far as the egg shortage what's the what's also contributing to that is that the bite administration and the department of agriculture directed the mass killing of more than 100 million chickens which has led to a lack of chicken supply in this country therefore a lack of egg supply which is leading to the shortage oh so which came first The Biden or the Trump?
	The chicken or the egg?
	The virus or the panic?
	Which came first?
	Look, she's continuing.
	To coerce this, and even if it was a Biden administration that kicked this off, it still doesn't make any sense.
	Even if this was a real vaccine, even if the virus paradigm were real, and I don't believe any of that stuff, a real pandemic, I should say.
	Even if it was a real pandemic, even if the viruses were real, none of this stuff would make any sense.
	You wouldn't kill all of the chickens because one of them got a PCR test.
	Positive.
	So the big companies are colluding with the government to do this.
	Meanwhile, we see Professor Lockdown Ferguson is coming back.
	That's what Rhoda Wilson at Exposé News calls him.
	By the way, this guy, Neil Ferguson, a British physicist turned epidemiologist.
	Hmm.
	Yeah, that's like Michael Mann, who was a physicist, and then he became a climate scientist.
	I think some of these physicists are tired of hard science and they get into the imaginary sciences, don't they?
	So a British physicist turned epidemiologist recently dusted off his pandemic modeling skills to apply them to bird flu outbreaks in dairy cattle in the U.S. And he's got an interesting history, which I was not aware of until I saw this article.
	He, going back to 2001, Do you remember the foot and mouth disease that was in Britain?
	We remember it because it was right about the time that we went there.
	So we got foot and mouth disease for cattle.
	Well, Ferguson has a team at the Imperial College of London.
	Remember?
	These were the really smart people that did the modeling that said, you know, every person that gets it is going to pass it on to another two and a half people or something like that.
	And it's never going to stop.
	And their model, they didn't have the famous cave that we were supposed to flatten.
	That wasn't in there.
	It just kept going straight up until everybody gets it.
	And then they had projections about how many people were going to die and on and on and on.
	And then the University of Edinburgh looked at it and said, your model is garbage.
	Besides being based on false assumptions, from a computational standpoint, we can put the same input into it and get different answers each time.
	It's like a random number generator.
	Well, they picked the random numbers that they wanted.
	And Fauci and Birx and Redfield.
	It was actually Fauci and Birx.
	As Trump said, two really smart people told me that we've got to do this.
	But Trump is still selling this lie about the pandemic and how many lives that he saved.
	And all of that stuff is based on the work of Neil Ferguson and the Imperial College of London, which sounds really impressive.
	But listen to his history.
	So 2001, foot and mouth disease in parts of Britain.
	Ferguson and his team at Imperial College produced predictive modeling, which was later criticized as not being, quote, fit for purpose.
	That is a British expression for saying that it's absolute garbage.
	However, it proved highly influential, and it helped to persuade Tony Blair's government to carry out widespread preemptive culling.
	Does that sound familiar?
	Preemptive culling.
	Killing.
	Which ultimately led to the deaths of more than 6 million cattle.
	Sheep and pigs.
	The cost to the economy was later estimated at 10 billion pounds.
	A false prediction.
	Of course, he was just getting started.
	That was 2001. He predicted later that up to 150,000 people would die from BSE, the mad cow disease, and its equivalent.
	And sheep if it made the leap to humans.
	The result was an EU ban on British beef exports and the eventual killing and incineration of more than 3.7 million cattle because of his predictions.
	These people are incredibly dangerous.
	They make these viral predictions that go viral in the economy.
	So the first one, $10 billion it cost because of the foot and mouth stuff.
	Then he does it again with mad cow disease.
	3.7 million cattle are killed.
	The first one, they killed 6 million cattle, sheep, and pigs.
	Then by 2005, people are still paying attention to him.
	And he did these first two right away.
	He claimed that up to 200 million people would be killed by bird flu.
	By early 2006, the WHO had only linked 78 deaths to the virus.
	Out of 147 reported cases.
	And those are questionable like the measles diagnosis as well.
	Then in 2008, predicted that there was going to be 200 million people die.
	Even the World Health Organization could only scare up 78 deaths worldwide.
	Worldwide.
	But of course, things like that 200 million people die, that's the kind of lie that Donald Trump is still selling about the pandemic.
	2009. Ferguson's still doing his tricks.
	Ferguson and his team at the Imperial College of London advised the government that swine flu would probably kill 65,000 people in the UK alone.
	He was also one of 16 experts for the Emergency Committee of the WHO, which recommended the declaration of the swine flu pandemic.
	At the time, he declared consultancy fees from GlaxoSmithKline, Baxter, and Roche.
	And in the end, swine flu claimed the lives of 457 people in the UK. Again, their own figures.
	We don't know if 457 people died of swine flu or if they died from pneumonia that was a cold.
	But he was saying it was going to kill 65,000 people.
	Now you know why Fauci used him.
	He had a long history of hair on fire.
	Alarmism and false predictions.
	You know, like Michael Mann.
	All of this stuff, the climate science, the vaccine science, folks, is one big MacGuffin.
	It's all a lie.
	It's all there to motivate people.
	And so that's what Fauci used.
	He used these figures from the Imperial College of London to push the lockdown, to push the Trump executive order and all the stuff that Trump did.
	And Trump is still pushing those same lies.
	Meanwhile, we have the USDA has approved.
	A bird flu vaccine for cattle.
	Remember, it was just a week or so ago that they approved it for birds.
	Now they have done it for cattle as well.
	Because their target is to vaccinate all the animals.
	And to vaccinate you through the animals.
	So this is Trump's Brooke Rollins.
	The company MedGenes Protein-Based Prescription Platform Vaccine.
	That's what they call it.
	It nears USDA approval.
	Oh, just be a rubber stamp.
	They don't have to run any tests, right?
	We don't do that anymore.
	Don't do that anymore for anything.
	And again, they were concerned maybe this stuff isn't going to go through with RFK Jr. I don't think it was even so much that as it was that people don't want vaccines of any kind.
	They don't want the childhood vaccines.
	They certainly aren't going to go get a bird flu shot.
	Whether or not RFK Jr. was going to stand in the gap for that or not.
	And so they decide, well, okay, we can do this through the USDA, and the USDA can approve these vaccines.
	And that's what they're doing.
	The USDA is approving vaccines that they have not tested.
	So it's going to get approval without testing.
	They're going to vaccinate cattle for both meat and for dairy.
	The birds have already been approved for the mRNA shot.
	The vaccine is created by inserting the H5N1 gene sequence into the platform vector, leading to the production of the target protein, which is then purified, inactivated, and combined with an adjuvant to enhance the immune response.
	All of that.
	All of that is horrific.
	It is a genetic code injection.
	That's what all this stuff is.
	It's all a genetic code injection.
	It's even in their name, just like Moderna, Mode RNA, right?
	This company is called MedGene.
	It's a genetic code injection that they're going to put into dairy, and they're also doing the same thing into chickens.
	And they said the vaccine, they did this announcement, MedGene did.
	This was sent to me by a listener.
	Thank you for sending this in.
	Vaccine availability across animal species.
	And so they said the dairy industry, they're going to accelerate the vaccine testing for turkeys, egg-laying hens, and companion animals as well as cattle.
	They're not doing any testing.
	The purpose of this acceleration is to stop all the testing.
	MedGene is collaborating with Cornell University to test its H5N1 vaccine and cats as well.
	They're going to go for cats and dogs.
	They said they're going to go for every animal.
	And they'll do it annually.
	You know, like the rabies shot, supposedly.
	I hope you don't do that.
	So you mean your shot doesn't work?
	Oh, yeah, you've got to get a booster for it all the time, right?
	It's a racket.
	It's a racket.
	So they said they're going to push this out to animal owners and to veterinarians and safely address disease faster and more effectively than traditional vaccines.
	Because it's genetic modification.
	A genetic code injection.
	So they said it's going to be free of any ingredients of animal origin.
	So it's completely synthetic.
	But of course, when you eat your food of animal origin, it's going to have all this synthetic stuff in it.
	Who knows what it's going to do when they start genetically modifying these animals.
	Again, it takes us right back to You know, where we started with all this stuff.
	Zoxovoxov says, as long as the chickens are sitting down while eating and stay six chicken feet apart, the chicken flu won't get them.
	That's right.
	That's good.
	I like that.
	Audi, modernretroradio.com.
	Good to see you, Audi.
	He says, what do you call it when a politician eats rat meat?
	Cannibalism.
	I like that, too.
	Okay, we're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back.
	Thank you.
	Making Sense.
	Common again.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Good evening.
	Tonight's tale is a story of paranoia and a most unexpected perpetrator, the common cow.
	Or, more specifically, what comes out the other end.
	Yes, the air is thick with intrigue.
	As it seems that in our modern age of propaganda, even a humble bovine's backside can be branded a national security threat.
	The menace is invisible, silent, yet deadly.
	Carefully contrived to panic the masses into accepting the government stepping in, jackboots and all, with their solutions.
	Because who better to stop a gaseous threat than a bunch of political windbags?
	But one must wonder, is this truly about saving the planet, or are we simply being led to pasture?
	Is it merely a MacGuffin?
	The David Knight show serves as a breath of fresh air for those who still believe that truth can stand up to scrutiny.
	And he's found that the government narrative smells suspiciously like a load of bull.
	So if you want to help others catch wind of the BS being shoveled out of Washington, please consider supporting the show.
	And now back to our regularly scheduled program.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Well, Tony's going to be joining us shortly, and we're going to talk about what is happening with the Bitcoin Reserve and with money and gold in general.
	But when we look at the amount of money that is supposedly being saved by Doge, this is an article from Reason that says, contrary to what Trump said, even Doge does not claim to have identified hundreds of billions of dollars in fraud.
	He made that claim as he was...
	Speaking the other night, we found hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud, said Trump, but the most fleshed-out components of the estimated savings are grant and contract cancellations, which Doge has touted on its website and its X account, but news outlets have reportedly identified embarrassing and consequential mistakes in those numbers, including contracts that had not been awarded yet.
	Contracts that were not actually canceled.
	Contracts that were canceled before Trump took office.
	Contracts that were counted multiple times.
	Conflation of contract caps with actual spending.
	And the inclusion of past spending and estimates of future savings and overvaluation of contracts.
	Like the notorious data entry error that transformed an $8 million immigration and customs enforcement contract into an $8 billion cut.
	So what about the workforce restrictions that are there?
	Well, there have been some releases of people that were hired on a probationary basis, but so far they've not gotten anything close to what they claim on personnel savings.
	I'm still skeptical about what's going to happen with this, but they have the ability.
	With AI to do auditing.
	That's what I was talking about the other day when Alex Karp said, we now have transparency, and these Democrats better understand that they can't hide.
	And they better kowtow to Elon Musk instead of fighting him.
	Because, you see, even though Alex Karp has always been a Democrat, he is a technocrat.
	And he has allied, you know, these Democrat and Republican labels don't mean anything.
	Just look at how everybody immediately migrated over from the Democrat side to the Trump side because they're technocrats.
	And he's giving them what they want.
	Elon Musk is number one example.
	Maybe you could say that Trump was the number one example.
	These people don't have any political philosophy that's there.
	It's just about money and power.
	That's their only calculus.
	And so when you look at these workforce reductions, Doge has claimed $55 billion in total savings, but most of what is claimed to be spending cuts are just accounting errors.
	So one person has started looking at what they were actually doing.
	Who's going to audit Doge?
	Who's going to look at the waste and the contracts that these technocrats have with government?
	Musk, Bezos, these other people.
	Anybody want to look at that?
	We have the IRS. Is saying they may fire half of their 90,000 strong workforce.
	Nobody has formally said that they're going to stop the, you know, they said we're going to add $80 billion worth of spending and so forth and 80,000 IRS agents in the last couple of years.
	They have really added a lot of IRS agents.
	You know, we look at this and everybody reads the headlines from Doge and they think, well, look at this stuff.
	We're cutting down the IRS. Isn't that great?
	And I think the reality is that it's going to be coming back strong.
	They may not hire 80,000 people, but they probably will spend $80 billion and spend $80 billion on AI, which is going to be even worse.
	Well, Tony is ready.
	So I'm going to come back to this after the interview, but I wanted to get Tony's take on what's going to be coming up.
	With Bitcoin, the so-called Bitcoin reserve that had some odd coins added to it, and of course all of this disruption that we have seen in the marketplace as well.
	So we're going to be right back with Tony Ardman.
	Stay with us.
	Stay with us.
	Stay with us.
	All right.
	right, and we have Tony Arvin of Wise Wolf Gold joining us, and Tony has kindly set up DavidKnight.gold to take you there as well.
	A little bit easier to remember.
	It lets him know that you're coming through us.
	And it's always a pleasure to have Tony on.
	We were just talking during the break, and he's got some interesting updates to the Sovereign Wealth Fund.
	But I want to begin with the Bitcoin Reserve.
	Which was something that Trump dropped at that Nashville thing that you went to last summer, I guess it was.
	And now it's come to fruition, and they're going to have their first meeting tomorrow.
	And we had a surprise announcement earlier this week with some strange things added to it.
	He didn't even mention Bitcoin.
	And everybody's going, what's going on?
	Is this a Bitcoin reserve?
	I mean, what do you think about these other cryptocurrencies, the ADA, the SOL, the XRP? What is your take on that?
	Well, if you wanted to tank the idea of a Bitcoin strategic reserve, this is the way to do it.
	What you do is you throw these other coins in there that, really, I don't have any idea why they'd be included, like Cardano.
	Why is ADA in there?
	XRP, you know, this is...
	Well, they do have some connections to Trump.
	You know, if you look at this stuff, some of his meme coins and other things like that, there's some connections there that...
	You know, it looks like we're starting to see a pattern of just in-your-face graft and corruption.
	It's just the worst ideas that could be tagging along with what, you know, when I was at the Bitcoin conference in July, you know, you had RFK Jr. speaking, and he actually is very strategic with his plan, you know, for if he was going to be elected.
	That he would have the Treasury order to buy 500 Bitcoin a day to put us on parity where we hold about 18% of the world's Bitcoin, roughly like we do the percentage of the world's gold.
	And that made sense to me.
	I don't even know what this looks like.
	I mean, you're talking, these are private companies.
	The thing about Bitcoin that, you know, again, if you're not really into crypto like I am or haven't been in the space since 2016, it's the only crypto out there that is decentralized, truly.
	And you can talk about its origin story or what it was meant to do or some of the coding that got put in in 2017, and that's a side argument.
	But all these other cryptos lead back to a company, a board of directors, venture capital.
	So it doesn't make any sense at all.
	The United States, it holds gold reserves and it has some foreign currencies that it holds.
	But to my knowledge, it doesn't hold stocks or anything like that.
	I mean, this would be a complete departure.
	These other cryptos are not like Bitcoin.
	And of course, even the Bitcoin argument itself, I'm happy to talk about that.
	Maybe it's not the best idea in the world, but charging the American taxpayer to buy something that is a decentralized electronic currency.
	Perhaps that's not a good idea.
	I mean, we can argue that.
	But you add all these other entities in, and I just shake my head.
	I'm like, where did this even come from?
	Because, you know, after the inauguration, Bitcoin went to 108,000.
	It's all-time high so far.
	It's dipped back down into the almost low 80s, I believe.
	In the last few weeks, because where's our Bitcoin strategic reserve?
	Where's the BSR? And the momentum in crypto has happened.
	They just dropped the R. They just dropped the R. It's now just BS. You know, to your point of these things being privately held and everything, the XRP, the Ripple, you know, it's attached to Ripple, and they still have 80% of the tokens.
	You know, the tokens are created all up front.
	They're not mined.
	And they have 80% of those under their control.
	And, you know, it was Angry Tiger who said, if you look at these things, they're all about transactions.
	All three of these cryptocurrencies are about transactions.
	And so I went back and I looked at it in detail.
	I talked about it yesterday.
	They're all based on proof of stake.
	They're all based on, you know, just because I say so, right?
	We're not doing any...
	If the government was going to hold stocks, that's a good analogy, Tony, what you said.
	If the government was going to hold stocks, should they go out and buy stocks that are 80% owned by that company?
	You know, it doesn't make any sense.
	And yet, when you look at the transactional status of this, and what...
	XRP and these others were set up to do.
	Some of them are about smart contracts.
	Some of them are about NFTs.
	They're all proof of stake.
	They're all privately owned and centrally controlled and all the rest of this stuff.
	And as I start looking at this, what it looks like, and you know I've said this from the very beginning, that yeah, CBDC is out.
	They know that people aren't going to fall for that in the United States.
	So let's do it in a different way.
	And they look at it and say, okay, let's rebrand this and let's do it in a way where we can make a I think?
	Personnel or policy?
	I think their policy is for these guys to make a lot of money with their stablecoins, with their pump-and-dump stuff.
	And I look at this, with this being focused on transactions between institutions and transactions across countries and stuff like that, to me, this looks like the step number one of CBDCs.
	They would always do it as a wholesale basis, right?
	So we had, they'd already started that in the U.S. They said, we're going to have FedNow.
	And that's going to be how we're going to process transactions between banks.
	And then, after everybody gets involved in that, we'll go to FedCoin.
	We'll take it to the retail level, where there'll be a digital currency for you and I to use.
	But it begins with FedNow, which is a wholesale thing out there.
	I mean, is this like a public-private partnership for FedNow?
	I think you're right, David.
	What other argument could you make at this point?
	This has nothing to do with the Strategic Reserve.
	This is a hijacking of technology, in my opinion.
	You look at what they're trying to do is have a public-private partnership with the technology of crypto.
	They just listed all the major cryptos, and that makes no sense whatsoever.
	This was supposed to be an administration that was going to deregulate crypto, not take it over.
	This was supposed to be about the Bitcoin presidency and perhaps make Bitcoin a strategic reserve because of Bitcoin's nature and what Bitcoin is supposed to be.
	These other coins, I mean, there's some functionality there.
	There's smart contracts, XRP, you know, delivering financial transactions between financial institutions, all that stuff that could be argued that it has functionality.
	But that has nothing to do with what...
	The whole premise behind the Trump announcement in Nashville, these other coins weren't mentioned.
	And he did say, in Nashville, I watched him.
	He said, there'll never be a CBDC as long as I'm president.
	I thought about that, you know, because I know Gary Kushner's role.
	Steve Mnuchin, yeah.
	Right, and I'm not looking at Trump the way the other people in the crowd are either.
	And so this starts to make more sense.
	I wondered what was going to happen.
	And now I think that's why a lot of the steam has run out of this euphoria.
	We're going to call it Trump euphoria.
	After the election and, you know, people selling off their gold and silver and getting into the crypto markets and Bitcoin did go up and it went up to 108,000.
	And I think it will start to slow climb again, but that has almost nothing to do with the Trump presidency.
	I think it's just more and more adoption worldwide.
	And I think maybe the two things can get confused.
	But the adding of these cryptos certainly is a red flag.
	Even those are cheerleaders in the crypto space.
	I listen to a lot of podcasts and even they're going, what is happening?
	This is not good for the industry.
	This collusion between government and the private sector.
	Of course, it wasn't good for the industry when Trump made so much money off of his Trump coin and his Melania coin either.
	I mean, you know, that started to make the whole thing stink like a pump and dump scam, which I talked to Catherine Austin Fitz this week.
	She said she's absolutely convinced it's what it all is, is a pump and dump.
	And to, you know, to keep this thing rolling, you know, the end game for a lot of these people is to always try to get governments involved.
	That was the next stage.
	We can get the governments to hold Bitcoin.
	And so, you know, that's the ultimate, you know, dump it over to the government and then we all sell out at the top and that type of thing.
	That has always been my concern as well when I look at this.
	But, you know, getting back to the fact that you were just talking about how he's going to throw in all these different cryptos and who knows how many they're going to put in, right?
	And to me, it looks very much like what he's doing with all this tariff stuff.
	You know, I talked about the tariff.
	I said, you look at it historically, you look at the tariffs, and they're either there to protect specific industries.
	No, that's not what this is about.
	Or they're there to raise revenue, which is what Jefferson did.
	He cut the size of government.
	He said, now we're just going to run the government off of tariff revenue.
	No, it's not about that.
	Instead, it's targeting...
	And he's got to roll it back within a day or two because of the total chaos and damage that was going to be done to the automobile industry because things were going back and forth, back and forth over the border.
	Because why?
	Because he had already set that up in his first administration, the USMCA approach.
	Yeah, put your stuff through Mexico, Canada, and the US. USMCA. So they start doing that.
	Now he's going to come in and he's going to create chaos with that.
	It's like a pattern, Tony, that either they don't know what they're doing or they're deliberately trying to sabotage.
	I mean, we're at the point now, is he deliberately trying to create a recession, say some people?
	Is he deliberately trying to sabotage this stuff?
	There's no focus on this Bitcoin reserve, just like there's no focus on the tariff stuff.
	Creative destruction.
	That's right.
	It comes to mind.
	So, while you were talking, I just remembered going back to 2015, and I got invited to see Trump speak in Dallas.
	This was at the American Airlines Center, and he had just hired Katrina Pearson, and we ran for Congress at the same time in different districts, and I knew who she was.
	Anyway, I got tickets.
	I was in the front row.
	Trump came out, and I'd been running on economic nationalism.
	I understood it, and I thought, this is really revolutionary.
	He came out, and I've got it on my phone still.
	I recorded him saying it.
	He said that, you know, if I'm elected, I'll just call up the CEO of Ford Motor Company, and if you don't bring those factories back to the United States, I'm just going to slap a 35% tariff on any Ford F-150 or anything that you send over the border from Mexico.
	To the United States.
	And he goes, and I'll do that with a phone call.
	It won't even be that hard.
	Well, we're a long way from that.
	We've had the previous Trump presidency and we have this one.
	You're right.
	Economic nationalism is either about protecting, having protectionism, which was the later goal in the 19th century.
	But early on, it was about raising revenue, as you mentioned earlier with Jefferson.
	There was always a strategy there.
	There is no strategy here.
	And it's not about either or, because those, and you mentioned the USMCA, and it really was a codifying of NAFTA with a bunch of new tech stuff put into it.
	I remember because I was filling in for you back in 2019, 2020, and they were talking about this as it ramped up at the end of his first presidency.
	This is a really strange time, and it's hard to figure out what the actual goal is.
	Weaponization of the dollar, by other means, with threatening bricks, with 100% tariffs.
	This is like, again, the recipe for an economic downturn, if you wanted to do that.
	that if you want to shock the system and that would create maybe the opportunity for price controls, David, or something or the seizure of different aspects of the economy, because, hey, things are shaky and this is a national security.
	Mm-hmm.
	There's something to this.
	I don't even see any more any sort of patterns for why this would create a robust, you know, production economy.
	Yeah.
	Because all you're causing is uncertainty.
	Now, if you were to say you could announce tariffs on certain things.
	And, you know, Pat Buchanan covered this a lot in his work, and I've studied it for years and years.
	I mean, and I know these numbers by heart.
	If you put a 25% tariff across the board on manufacturing products, and you don't, you know, seek out countries, and you don't...
	You know, play favorites.
	It creates basically the same amount of revenue generation as the corporate income tax.
	So you could abolish the corporate income tax and then you could incentivize companies from around the world to move here and build things and avoid the tariff.
	And, of course, not pay taxes.
	Well, he's not going to do that because they've already...
	That's not what they're talking about.
	And they've already agreed.
	You know, they had the agreement, the Biden administration and the U.S. government and all these different countries got together.
	G7 said, we're not going to have anybody do less than a 15% income tax rate.
	So he's not going to push against the globalists.
	He's going to abide by their scheme there.
	So he's not going to get rid of the corporate income tax.
	I mean, that's one of the things I think is interesting.
	Mav2022 says...
	Bitcoin isn't a coin.
	Let's start there.
	It's a reward for a machine to complete a task.
	And that's one of the things that Catherine Austin Fist was saying.
	She said, you know, I get having a gold reserve.
	I get having a petroleum reserve.
	But, you know, why do you need to have a Bitcoin reserve?
	It's speculation.
	You know, it's like a stock.
	And it just doesn't make any sense that you would make a reserve out of that.
	Well, I mean, For my own philosophy, when Texas tried to create a digitized goldback token, I oppose that because I always ask the question, why does the state need to be involved in money?
	I look at the Bitcoin.
	Now that Trump has announced this dilution of what would be a strategic Bitcoin reserve, I no longer support any of that.
	I don't understand it.
	Especially on the people who came up with the idea, maybe good intention, but they were long past that.
	So this is something completely different, and there's something else going on here that has nothing to do with stabilizing our economy, clearly.
	I mean, this is just...
	A funhouse mirror version of that.
	There's no strategy in this.
	Well, I think there's probably strategy just not for, you know, to prop up the U.S. economy.
	Oh, I agree.
	I mean, you look at Lucky Lutnik and you look at Scott, the Besant guy, you know, one of them is involved in...
	Coming after the British Brown with George Soros and the other guy and all of his financial background.
	It's one scam after the other.
	I've got a question here from DG8 for you, Tony.
	He says, please ask Tony about XRP, the Ripple thing, being the only crypto listed as a business partner of the World Economic Forum.
	Was the whole SEC case against XRP, Ripple, a fraud?
	Well, the SEC in and of itself and its war on crypto, yeah, I mean, and this may be a way that you can control it from inside and make sure that the price stays stabilized for accumulation or whatever.
	I mean, these are ways that they pump and dump and they'll have a, like Jamie Demon's done this before of J.P. Morgan where he's come out and And bad-mouthed, you know, all of Bitcoin.
	I remember this 2018 time frame.
	He came out and just...
	Criticizing his daughter for having it.
	Yeah.
	Yes.
	I mean, just went and he's done this a few times.
	And then, you know, the next day it'll tank and then they'll see some accumulation and all of a sudden it'll come back up.
	And they do this kind of stuff.
	So they have ways to create this narrative for you and I because we're not the insiders.
	We don't, you know, like George Carlin said, it's a big club and you ain't in it.
	Yeah.
	You have to get to these coins.
	I follow a lot of stuff with crypto, obviously, but I look at some of these other trading platforms and things and people that are trying to make money and get rich with it.
	And it is interesting because it's all about the pump and dump.
	The functionality and the coins aren't really there for the most part, especially the meme stuff.
	I was on with Angry Tiger last night and I said, If you ever see me promoting a meme coin, that's not me.
	It's a clone, and don't trust that person.
	That's not me.
	I just wanted, for the record, I would never do that.
	Because, again, what purpose does it serve?
	I have a Bitcoin company, and the reason I've been in Bitcoin since 2016, do I know everything about it?
	No, it's impossible.
	I don't know everything that I could know.
	From everything I've researched, I believe that it's a functional, Mechanism for economic growth, at least for an individual, you could have a way to hedge against inflation and uncertainty.
	It's not exactly precious metals.
	They're different things.
	But I'm not touting any of these other coins because of what I mentioned earlier.
	It's like these insider deals and who knows who has ties to the World Economic Forum or Davos or whatever, or government.
	And now we...
	Now all the lines have been completely blurred.
	The conference is tomorrow, David.
	They're doing it twice.
	I think the crypto, this explosion of interest and all the hope and everything that was in it, it's dimming because of this.
	And maybe that's on purpose too.
	I think we're starting to see You know, what could be the blueprint for the CBDC, the way that they would do it in a public-private partnership, which, if I remind people, that is fascism.
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah, absolutely.
	Yeah, you know, it's not any coincidence that when you look at things to come or, you know, based on the book, The Shape of Things to Come, that they come across as kind of fascist because that is, you know, economically they are fascist and they want to tell everybody they're elitist and they're fascist if you look at these technocrats.
	But, you know, when we talk about the corruption that is there, yesterday I talked about the fact...
	That this one guy, his name is Justin Sun, S-U-N, 34 years old.
	He was the guy that famously went to Hong Kong and some artist had put a banana on the wall.
	Remember that?
	With duct tape.
	He bought it for $6 million and then with everybody taking pictures of him, he took it off the wall and ate the banana.
	And then he put a lot of money into Trump's world financial thing or something, this other crypto scheme that Trump has personally going.
	And immediately the SEC, which is investigating him on multiple pump and dump issues, immediately stopped.
	And I guess my question is, are we going to a banana republic?
	I'm going to eat that banana.
	Is this based on crypto?
	And are we going to be eating the crypto banana republic when this pump and dump thing goes sideways on us?
	Or maybe we could call them banana republicans.
	I don't know.
	Well, that's good.
	Well, I think a lot of this is, and maybe perhaps it's a sideshow, because the rest of the world, if you look at who's crypto-focused, It's not the rest of the world.
	I mean, there are other countries popping up, and I do.
	Again, this is a mixed bag for me, but if you look at Bitcoin, like El Salvador, they recently bowed to the IMF, and yeah, it's still a legal tender there, but the IMF said, you're not going to do this the way that they had Bitcoin set up previously, and they backed off.
	And why do you think the IMF would do it?
	Why would the IMF threaten them over the Bitcoin stuff?
	I mean, is it because the IMF is so heavily involved with it?
	What's your take on that?
	Why would they do that?
	Well, because it's outside of their control.
	And this kind of goes back to what we were talking about.
	Why list all these other coins?
	Well, it's interesting because you can control all those other coins absolutely easily.
	I mean, because you know the founders, you know the people on the board, you know everything.
	Bitcoin is, you can't.
	But if you want to control the Bitcoin, what you do is...
	You create this environment where BlackRock buys the supply, and then you can own it through these ETFs.
	And then you start regulating how the wallets work.
	Then you start saying, oh, your own keys, well, we don't really support that.
	That's more money laundering and things.
	And so that's how you hijack Bitcoin from the inside.
	And you say, well, we're so crypto-friendly, we put all these other cryptos.
	And I'm starting to think this is how that plays out.
	You know, a lot of people would just argue that Bitcoin itself is fake, and I'm not there.
	I don't see that.
	But that's how you...
	This is the caution in that.
	I mean, it's really to add all these other things.
	That's, to me, the threatening part.
	And the IMF, you know, again, this is why Bitcoin, I believe, is still an enemy to the bankster class, because they don't have control of it quite yet.
	And so if this gets away from them, if other...
	That's what's called game theory in the crypto space for Bitcoin, is that once it gets nation-state adoption at some level, it'll just be a rush to who can control the supply, and mining will be strategic, which could very well turn out to be true, but we live in an upside-down where it's not free market anymore at all.
	I mean, these are contrived things.
	I mean, we have central banks, we have...
	You know, the oligarchs and all the things that have infiltrated our politics and reality.
	So it would be hard to, you know, in a perfect world, obviously, this libertarian thought, you know, you're a libertarian.
	Well, I used to be.
	I'm pretty close, but they lose me on some things, especially when you get into the fantasy of this is how people act, because that's not how reality works.
	I mean, it's good theory.
	But I think that's what's playing out right now, is that we've...
	We've still got the Bitcoin technology, but how do they wrap their tentacles around it?
	It looks like they're doing a pretty good job so far.
	And even got a few things past me.
	I really thought they were going to have a Bitcoin strategic reserve until they threw this out there.
	It's really...
	Bizarre, these other coins.
	I keep going back to that.
	My mind just can't get away from that, that they added those other coins.
	And just nonchalantly, by the way.
	Oh, yeah.
	And didn't mention Bitcoin until everybody complained about it.
	He goes, oh, yeah, Bitcoin and Ethereum, they're going to be the heart of it.
	I wonder, though, Tony, you mentioned BlackRock and their ETF stuff and everything.
	You know, now BlackRock is good.
	It's amazing to see Alex Jones and all these other people cheering this because they bought two out of six of the ports down in Panama.
	Now it's American-owned and all the rest of the stuff.
	And it's owned by BlackRock.
	Aren't we happy about that?
	I was saying yesterday that BlackRock and Larry Fink is kind of like the Moriarty of everything that these people hate.
	All the different lines of the web go back to this guy.
	And now he's the hero that Trump has put out there.
	You think BlackRock's going to be managing?
	The Bitcoin reserve?
	Should we make a prediction?
	Will it be BlackRock that gets to manage all the Bitcoin reserve?
	Yeah, we're going to get rid of Monsanto.
	Here's IG Farben.
	We hope you enjoy.
	I mean, it's just...
	Yeah, is Trump going to do that, or is he going to put BlackRock in charge, or is he going to put Bill Gates in charge?
	Either way, if he does it, it'll be a great thing.
	People have short memories.
	This is the team sport.
	It causes brain damage.
	Partisanship politics causes brain damage.
	I can't remember a year ago when people were putting out memes of BlackRock buying up all the housing in the United States and outfitting first-time homebuyers and just offering cash and all this other stuff, just accumulating residential properties.
	Why is that?
	It's the same thing that I don't have this...
	When I hear Larry...
	Think talk from BlackRock.
	I don't think, oh, that's my ally.
	He really wants a free market.
	I just listen to what he says, and a lot of times he's talked about changing behavior.
	This is something he's did many times.
	He's at the center of all this ESG. Through the financial system.
	That's ESG, folks.
	That's right.
	And he's at the epicenter of all that, but it's a good thing now that...
	And, of course, it's the Trump pressure.
	I was talking to Mark Hall, who lives down there most of the year.
	He said their internal revenue equivalent had already started auditing that Hong Kong company in order to put pressure on them to sell.
	And so this is a pressure campaign conducted by Trump and Rubio and his administration against Panama to put pressure on this company to get them to sell for the benefit of BlackRock.
	And now this is a big win.
	Oh, it's America first and all the rest of the stuff.
	It's like, what is going on?
	Thomas Jefferson said it best.
	He said, merchants have no country.
	That's right.
	That's right.
	You know, and if you're an entrepreneur and you're into, you know, you take a company or take something global, I completely understand that.
	But don't be confusing the two.
	There used to be the saying was, what's good for America is good for GM and vice versa, for General Motors.
	That's not true anymore.
	Bringing those factories back to Detroit, is that good for GM? Is that good for America?
	The GM's profits would go down.
	If you look and you correlate the amount of profits, or if you want to call it that, whatever it is anymore that these companies make, the accumulation of wealth from NAFTA on, The wages of Americans have gone down, and these corporations are just off the charts.
	It's record intake of capital.
	Something good for America is not good for them at this point.
	This has gotten way out of hand with this partisan politics.
	That's where we are, and we're marching straight into...
	The Great Reset remains.
	Have you ever seen the movie Independence Day, you know, where they finally use a nuke on one of the flying saucers, you know, the big mothership, and then they come out and they say, oh, I think we got it, and then it's, no, Target remains.
	I think that's the same thing after this election.
	We're still in it.
	It's just by other means.
	It's not coming at you directly.
	You're right.
	There's something with that.
	I'm wondering when they're going to announce the...
	The FedNow crypto system or something, you know, through these banks.
	You're absolutely right.
	I think you're going to list a way ahead of the ball.
	I think, I said the other day, I said maybe they'll call it instead of CBDC, maybe they'll call it PPPDC, you know, public-private partnership digital currency.
	But let's talk about the Sovereign Wealth Fund.
	You know, when I talked to Catherine Austin Fitch, she said, well...
	You know, this looks like a pump and dump that they're going to do to pump this thing up.
	And then when everything goes bust or, you know, it may be the crypto stuff or more likely it's just, you know, going bust with the economy.
	And they say, well, we've got to use our resources.
	They claim that they own the land.
	They'll sell the land to these other people.
	Everything is for sale.
	Citizenship is for sale, all the rest of the stuff.
	But the Sovereign Wealth Fund, when we were talking during the break before you came on, you said you noticed something about the Sovereign Wealth Fund.
	Let's talk about that.
	What did you see?
	Well, the article came out from Jim Rickards, you know, and he worked with CISA to the CIA and did, you know, these Deep dives into the financial wars and currency wars that are going on that's kind of behind the scenes in this nonlinear, you know, asymmetrical war that goes on.
	So I've read him for years and he said something in an article and he kind of just went through and I was going to bring it up because it was so huge.
	It put an alarm bell off in my head.
	I didn't know this.
	Well, you know, Scott Bessett putting together this idea of the Sovereign Wealth Fund, and Trump signed the executive order to the Exploratory Committee on that and to lay that out and what it would look like.
	Well, we all talk about Fort Knox, you know, with the gold there, and we talk about what the United States supposedly has, about 8,133 tons of gold bullion to back up its, well, not anymore technically back up our currency, but to back up our economy.
	It's part of our balance sheet.
	Well, something that Rickard said, and I didn't know I'm going to cover a little bit more in my show here in the next hour or so.
	Apparently, in 1934, FDR had the Treasury of the United States write a certificate to the Federal Reserve giving them holdings for the gold that the Fed had to give up During that executive order.
	So supposedly the Fed had to give up a certain amount of gold, right?
	Well, if you actually re-denominate that in ounces, those certificates are more than the 8,133 tons that we have in our own reserve for the United States government itself that we technically owe the Fed.
	And Rickards didn't cover it in the way that I would have if I thought...
	I didn't know that.
	Yeah.
	And that's because I've often heard, you know, we had, you know, like 18,000 tons before or right at the end of World War II, and then all of a sudden there's this reallocation and all this stuff that went on, and we opened up for free trade.
	There's a whole stuff that happened after World War II. There's a lot of financial maneuvering.
	And so this is another of those clues.
	As the world continues to go towards resources, that's where we are.
	I mean, you know, you can look at, I think, After Basel III in 2021, when gold was taken from a Tier 3 to a Tier 1, the rest of the world is just already scrambling to get the gold.
	And I think that's just, gold is already the world's reserve currency again.
	It's just, you know, we're talking about time and getting off systems and other things.
	So they have to know that here in the U.S. So I think the future is going to be who has what and the assets and all the rest.
	It's not that the U.S. isn't going to sell its gold.
	Or anything like that.
	I don't see that happening or putting into a particular fund, I don't think.
	But I do think that there's going to be a lot of exposure.
	This is what we have.
	A lot of cards are going to be put on the table because we're in the Great Reset.
	We're still watching a meltdown of the financial system and the debt.
	Worldwide is systemic.
	It's malignant, and there's no way out of that.
	I mean, the sheer numbers of it all, David, as you know, are just so gargantuan, you can't come back.
	There has to be a new system put in place, and this may be the creative destruction that we're watching, because there's nothing to do with strategy, whether it's the tariffs or the crypto fund or anything.
	It doesn't make any sense.
	And perhaps it doesn't make any sense for a reason.
	This is just chaos for chaos' sake to see where things end up.
	And now, some of that unintended consequence, I'm watching very closely, is these bullion banks, they can't fulfill contracts.
	They're starting to, the cracks in the system, it's going to be all over the place.
	And we're just at the tip of the iceberg.
	I don't know what it's going to do to prices.
	But I looked up before we went live, and I'll just mention this, to look at silver, it should be covered on the nightly news, what's not going to be, on the financial sector.
	215 million ounce deficit last year.
	So that means all the orders, they had to find 215 million ounces of the above ground supply.
	And so this is happening year on year, and the prices remain because of the paper and all the stuff that's covered up.
	The world is rushing to assets.
	And I think that's why you see so much pressure put on these supplies and the things of metals.
	And we shall see.
	Those little nuggets of history, I find out every day when I look into this stuff, it's pretty amazing where we stand.
	Especially, I didn't know that the Fed is owed more gold than we have.
	And so that kind of brings in this whole dog and pony show about going into Fort Knox and looking at this stuff, which is going to be like Al Capone's vault with Geraldo Rivero.
	It's going to be one of those types of deals.
	There's no way that they're going to audit this thing and make it meaningful.
	I mean, are those real gold bars or what is it?
	And so my question is, what is the intention with all of this stuff?
	Is it to move everybody?
	To change public opinion.
	That's the whole purpose of it, is to change public opinion.
	But to what purpose and to what end?
	Is it going to be to get everybody afraid that...
	You know, we just got this big speculative bubble, and we got paper gold, and we got paper silver, and we got these other ETFs and derivatives, and there's nothing there?
	You know, kind of like which caused the real estate crash.
	Is that their intention for destruction?
	And then do they use that to move us over to the kind of great taking, you know, where they say, yeah, but we got all this land, and we can now put those assets to work.
	That was what Besant said.
	And Doug Burgum, who is in on all this stuff as well, They put him in as Interior Secretary.
	What did he say during his confirmation hearings?
	He said, well, we got $200 trillion worth of land in the United States.
	So they're going to somehow put that into work, put that into a sovereign wealth fund or something, and say, we're going to move now from, you know, the fiat currency or even pretending that we got gold backing.
	Now we're going to back it all with the land and maybe, you know, we implode everything.
	What do you think is, I mean, it's pure speculation at this point.
	You got any idea where they're going with this sovereign wealth fund?
	It really concerns me.
	It turns me to hear Bessent and to hear Burgum making the kind of comments of the ring.
	Of course, in every one of these things, they got Lucky Lutnik standing beside them.
	The three-card Monty guy.
	He's a huckster of the nth degree.
	33rd degree huckster.
	How about that?
	I like that.
	I read an article earlier this week that Deutsche Bank is putting out some notices and saying, hey, you know, the dollar may not be a safe haven in the future.
	It may be losing its safe haven status.
	And I thought about Deutsche Bank.
	And if you look into the insider trading that went on prior to 9-11, these shell corporations and kind of in the periphery of Deutsche Bank was some of these entities that.
	Shorted airline stocks and other things right prior to 9-11, and they had ties.
	If you really drill down, it ties to intelligence and goes back to Mossad and others.
	There's millions that never got claimed, by the way.
	I think to touch it would be to expose yourself.
	There were some that they didn't secure just right.
	But this is a controlled demolition.
	Whatever it is.
	Going into the Trump presidency with the meme coin, and I'm just shaking my head.
	You can make money on it, and that's only insider stuff, but it's going to leave the regular folk holding the bag, losing 90%.
	You know that going in.
	Why would you do it?
	Well, it's the same thing you could do with a sovereign wealth fund or something like that.
	We're in a post-trust era.
	That's another thing.
	These institutions lose trust.
	That's why Things like gold and commodities and other things in this era that we're in becomes even more important because that's why the United States, we lost, we're losing and de-dollarizing is so rapid.
	It probably would have took another hundred years had we just been a good steward.
	We could have kept the world running on our currency for a long, long time, but we got arrogant.
	We have to nightstick people like a drunk cop or something.
	That's what we do around the world.
	40 different sanctions.
	It's probably more than that.
	I haven't been saying that for three years, but it's 40 sanctions on 36 countries.
	So we weaponized all that stuff.
	So we already know the concept.
	We do cause and effect, so that's apparent that it's not working, but we continue to do it.
	So there's an open question whether, you know, they just want to accelerate this thing or want to do a pump and dump.
	Maybe they'll create a United States meme coin itself, like this is for the country.
	Get in early, you know, the rest of the world.
	So I don't trust anything that, you know, this is why I think we lean too heavily to say, well, the United States needs to go on a gold standard.
	Go yourself on a gold standard.
	That's right.
	We have the opportunity to do that.
	Thank you, Gerald Ford, 1974, for making it legal for me to own gold.
	You know, I just don't need them.
	And that's why I oppose the Texas setting that up.
	I don't need the state involved with that.
	That's right.
	You see, what happened this last week is there's all this uncertainty about the tariffs and everything.
	Stock market goes down.
	Bitcoin gets shaky as well as, you know, because Bitcoin's pump was based on all of this stuff about the Bitcoin reserve thing.
	So, you know, you look at that and what does that do?
	You see gold is still hanging in there strong.
	How is the situation right now?
	I mean, you were the first one to talk about that I heard.
	And long before I saw anything in the press, you were talking about the massive movement of metal back to the U.S. and how it was creating problems in London and other places like that.
	How is the supply looking now?
	Oh, it's slowed some as far as the clearing out of vaults and other things that's happened around the world.
	I think the next shoe to drop is just the fallout from a lot of these companies and countries and funds that will be asking for physical delivery.
	And I think not all of it, but it'll be a big chunk that won't show up and it'll create a cascading effect of other orders.
	One of the reasons is like, you know.
	you know, FDR had a banking holiday.
	You remember that?
	And from when he took over in 1933, he had a banking holiday.
	And that was just for him to get control of the financial system because people were going to do a run on the banks.
	You know, so I think that's probably going to have a, there's a, there's a physical golden silver, There's a hidden time bomb, I believe, of just people being able to get access to it.
	And I watch it very closely.
	I think supply is okay right now.
	I'm never back to the 2018-2019 supply levels that I would find.
	I've never recovered from that.
	I can still get things.
	And that's one of the reasons we have this.
	Multiple locations now for me to supply my membership stuff for Wolfpack.
	I need to buy from the public.
	I can't necessarily get the same kind of products even from the wholesalers anymore in the time frame that I need.
	Right now, I'd say it's relatively calm, but I think we're on the cusp of another shoot or drop, hitting another level.
	Of the real physical versus the paper.
	And this will, I think, be even more exposed in the currency and trade wars that are afoot and are going on right now behind the scenes as the world continues to lurch towards gold.
	2024, David, was another year where central banks ordered 1,048 tons or so.
	And before that, it was another 1,000.
	And before that, it was another 1,000.
	This trend continues.
	Well, they're concerned about the instability as well.
	It's very unstable, very unpredictable.
	There's a lot of chaos that's being sown in here.
	And when you see that kind of stuff, everybody runs to gold.
	Yeah, everybody runs to gold.
	It's the way that history shows us that it's what it's always been for.
	And even in Rickard's article today, it was like...
	Gold is not just, you know, you could have said, well, it's a safe haven against inflation.
	He goes, well, inflation was what, you know, 10% or whatever, and gold went up 80% in the last three years.
	You know, so what's driving that?
	Well, fear, uncertainty, doubt, geopolitical tension, and the reset of the monetary system, the growing debt.
	And this isn't whatever this is that's coming out of Washington.
	It's not strategy.
	Well, not strategy for building the economy.
	It's something completely different.
	That's right.
	It's chaos, and they're accelerating it.
	And so that's why I look at this, and it's like, I want to get off of this train.
	As you point out, you can get on a gold standard yourself.
	You can do that on a regular basis.
	I love what you do with Wolfpack, where people can set up an amount that they want to...
	You have different tiers there that people can subscribe to on a monthly basis and gradually accumulate this.
	Of course, you handle any transactions.
	It can be small or large or whatever, but you can also do that savings program.
	What else is going on at Wolfpack that you'd like to tell us about?
	We've got a big announcement next week.
	I can't announce it yet, but we're going to be adding another tier to Wolfpack.
	It's the final one, and I've decided we're going to put something between the Wise Wolf level and the Sage Wolf, so between $5,000 and $100,000.
	I'm going to have some new incentives that I'm throwing in.
	We've got a lot of stuff.
	By next week, when I come on the show, I'll have a lot of stuff to announce.
	There are going to be some deals.
	Some other things.
	I'm trying to make it just even more streamlined for people's budgets.
	And if they want to beef it up a little bit, like, again, I understand how tight things are.
	So we're going to be adding some free shipping and other things, and then some variety.
	I did a conference call with the team yesterday, and I said, look, I'm going to be making some changes.
	You're going to have to roll with it.
	We've got a lot of stuff.
	We're going to have to be manually checking some things for customers.
	But I want to have the most variety, the easiest ordering, all the stuff in that price range.
	And I think people will like what we have going on next week.
	And of course, you know, we got Bitcoin.
	You can buy and sell Bitcoin with us now.
	We're fully operational.
	So if you want to buy Bitcoin, you want to sell Bitcoin, we'd love to buy it.
	We can sell it to you.
	We can help you with that.
	It's a white glove service, you know, so we got it's hands on when people walk you through it.
	And if you want to use your Bitcoin to buy precious metals through me, absolutely no fee.
	We're the only no fee broker in America.
	That's great.
	Yeah.
	And, of course, you can help them.
	You said the White Glove Service helps somebody if they want to figure out how to maintain a private wallet, that type of thing.
	I've got a question.
	Yeah, that's good.
	I've got a question here from Cecilia14.
	David, can you ask him what he thinks of Trump wanting rich foreigners to buy their way in to this country?
	The $5 million gold card.
	I'm wondering what he's going to get with a platinum card.
	That's what I'm waiting for.
	I like what my friend Sam Tripoli said.
	He said, yeah, you can do that.
	Sell it to them, but they've got to move to Detroit.
	They've got to go to the Rust Belt.
	They can't live in LA. They can't go to Miami.
	I said, you know what?
	I'm fine with that.
	You've got to rebuild something inside the U.S. Make it contingent on you.
	Doing something for us.
	That's right.
	I'm glad with that.
	That was what they were doing with the HB5 thing or something.
	And, you know, it's like a million dollars and you get your green card.
	Only $800,000 if you go into a distressed area, you know, like Detroit or something like that.
	And yet that's been just riddled with fraud.
	And, of course, the amazing thing to me was when you go through the numbers and you've got Lucky Lutnik says, we've got 250,000 people right now who want to sign up for this.
	And somebody said, no, if you look at this, we know how many people there are in the world that have a net worth of, let's say, 30 million.
	You know, just set it there.
	If they can afford to spend $5 million for this.
	And of all those, it's about 400 and some thousand people.
	And there was about 264 something thousand outside the U.S. So they have to be basically everybody with a net worth of over $30 million that's outside the U.S. would want to buy into that.
	That's absolutely ludicrous.
	But the thing that bothered me about it...
	When I saw it, I thought, what is the difference with this?
	Well, they don't have to do anything.
	They don't have to build anything.
	They don't have to invest in a company or anything.
	They just give $5 million to Washington.
	And they have then superior rights to American citizens, which you would expect out of something like this from Trump.
	They don't have to pay taxes on income that they get outside of the United States.
	Which American citizens have to pay that.
	And so he's giving them special privileges.
	Isn't that interesting?
	Isn't that disgusting?
	This is like the plot to Lethal Weapon 2 or something with the South African guys.
	Look, I'm for a moratorium on immigration, and I was just being silly, you know, buying your way in.
	We don't need that.
	If you want to attract companies, we would be laying the groundwork for deregulation, as you mentioned earlier in the show.
	We'd be incentivizing We need a complete moratorium on all immigration to have some breathing room to figure out what just happened because we've had an unprecedented amount.
	I don't care what people say.
	The great waves of immigration never even touched the numbers that we've done post-immigration.
	Immigration Act of 1965, Teddy Kennedy, and even the post-Fall of the Berlin Wall, David, as you know, massive, the most heaviest immigration we've ever seen in this country by many, many factors.
	You can go watch a presentation called Gumball Immigration if you want to learn more about that and just show you this year.
	It's called Numbers, you know, the Numbers USA. Go check that out.
	Now, I did like Gumball Rally, but I'm assuming that this would not be...
	No.
	That's another grift, you know.
	It's all that stuff.
	You're right, they're not going to invest.
	It has nothing to do with that.
	We desperately need investment and all the rest, but we're not setting the groundwork for that.
	I just think it's so characteristic of everything that Trump and Lutnik do.
	They're so focused on billionaires, and they really don't give a whip.
	About everybody else.
	It's a Make America Grift Again movement is really what this is truly about.
	And we've got to get in more rich people.
	Maybe he can offer them special benefits at Mar-a-Lago trial membership or something.
	But it's not about us.
	But it's always great having you on, Tony.
	Love your innovative programs there at Wise Wolf, and thank you for sending up davidknight.gold to take people there.
	Thank you for your support of the program.
	And you're going to be talking more about this FDR gold scam coming up at the end of this program.
	Tell people where they can find it.
	Go to America Unplugged channel over on Rockfin or Rumble, and then on my X, it's at Tony Arterburn.
	We'll be live there, so come find us.
	That's great.
	Thank you so much, and have a good day, Tony, and we'll talk to you soon again, I hope.
	All right, folks, we'll be right back.
	Stay with us.
	Stay with us.
	Stay with us.
	Stay with us.
	Stay with us.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	All right, welcome back.
	And a couple of comments here that came up during my discussion with Tony.
	Don't Frag Me Bro says the creative destruction is to marshal in their total control matrix.
	And we're going to talk about that coming up right now.
	Cornpop4584, know what's going to happen is he's going to put all these cryptos into this reserve, take people's money, And at the same time, all of them are going to go down to zero.
	I agree.
	I think this is a pump and dump thing.
	Distorted perceptions.
	Trump is a fraud, a con, a puppet who's going to sell all the things people don't want that takes them into a track and trace technocratic trash system.
	Let's talk about that.
	As a matter of fact, I thought this was an interesting article going back to a new documentary that is called Seeking Satoshi.
	Satoshi Nakamoto is supposedly the creator of Bitcoin.
	Is it a person?
	Is it a group?
	Is it a government institution?
	Is it the NSA? Who is it?
	A lot of people have long said they don't believe it's an individual.
	So the question is, you know, what is or who is or, you know, the people around it who created this stuff?
	So nobody knows if Satoshi's real, alive, a collection of tech nerds or whatever, or government organization.
	In a new documentary, Seeking Satoshi, the mystery Bitcoin creator.
	It sets out to uncover the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto.
	This article is from Exposé News out of the UK. One of the people Gatehouse interviewed was Mike Laurie.
	Gatehouse is the guy who did the documentary.
	He interviewed Mike Laurie, one of the early engineers involved in the cypherpunk mailing list that spawned Bitcoin.
	Posited that Satoshi Nakamoto isn't an individual but a collection of people from the same online community who felt the same way and were used to collaborating on developing each other's ideas.
	What Laurie said next was very revealing.
	Quote, myself and a few others, we were all pretty much libertarians or anarchists and all of us were transhumanists.
	We were all on the extropians list.
	That the Extropian Institute ran.
	A very individualistic, futuristic think tank.
	They were pushing all these ideas that are now what's called transhumanism.
	Like artificial intelligence, intelligence augmentation of humans, space colonization, digital currencies, nanotechnologies, genetic engineering.
	The horrific stuff, right?
	The grain technologies, that's the acronym I think of, genetics, robotics, AI, and nanotech, all of this stuff.
	And you go back to transhumanism, and again, I'll just remind you that, you know, how this is all tied together.
	Julian Huxley, the brother of Aldous Huxley, and the two of them were grandsons of Stephen Huxley, who was part of the X Club and had all these honored scientists of the day.
	They were all evolutionists, you know, and trying to promote Charles Darwin's ideas of evolution.
	And they were the brain trust that came up with all of this sci-fi and transhumanism and technocracy and all the rest of stuff.
	And all of these horrible technologies are brought together in that.
	But transhumanism was a word that was coined by Julian Huxley.
	And so there's this other word, exhumans.
	Extropian, or extropy, right?
	The Extropian Institute, talking about extropy.
	Well, it's exactly the opposite of entropy, right?
	If you've taken any thermodynamics, you know that the core thing about thermodynamics is that entropy increases.
	As my professor said, you can't even break even, you know?
	You look at a system of energy, everything that we see, In the universe, everything is running down.
	It's another one of the arguments, actually, for God.
	And so, since these people have set themselves up against God, they have set themselves up against the natural world that we observe, which is that entropy increases.
	Again, it's a big argument against evolution.
	But these people want to believe in evolution.
	So they create this fake concept.
	They call it extrophy.
	Things are going to get better in an incredibly optimistic way.
	It's the philosophy of extropy, that these people think that they're going to become God, right?
	They deny that God exists.
	They think that everything is getting better.
	Everything is going to increase.
	We have infinite ability to provide all of this stuff.
	And folks, this is a lie that is going to come crashing down on our heads.
	It's a lie that would crash down on our heads by its own weight.
	But we also know that God will bring that down upon us as well.
	They should call themselves Tower of Babylonians.
	That would be a better description of what this extra people are.
	And so we'll see what happens.
	I think it's going to be very interesting to see.
	We've got a front row seat here where we are.
	But it's going to be interesting to see how this thing unfolds.
	Will they collapse out of their own pride and arrogance, or will God bring this whole thing crashing down on top of them?
	The Extra P email list continues to be very active.
	It's a main venue for transhumanists.
	And it's one of the best places on the internet to meet transhumanists for challenging and creative discussions about the future, he said.
	Well, under the Experts tab, the Extropy Institute states that Extropy Institute has teamed up with the Friends of the UN. Ah, there we go.
	See?
	The global aspect of this.
	And this is one of the areas where it changes from 100 years ago, where the technocrats were 100 years ago.
	100 years ago, it was kind of rooted in American isolationism.
	And that really is what they're selling everybody under the Trump administration.
	This American isolationism.
	You know, we're going to...
	We've got all the resources that we need here, you know, from Central America on up to Greenland.
	We put a wall around it, and we do our own thing, and the rest of the world can go away, you know.
	But no, it really has now metamorphosized into a global agenda.
	That's just the intermediate step that they're trying to sell you.
	But it truly is a part of the UN affiliated with UNICEF, Africa and all the rest of the stuff.
	Extropy is just a atheistic fantasy.
	It doesn't exist in reality.
	There is no such thing as extra extra P except in their mind.
	Entropy is real.
	Extropy is a fantasy, a wish fulfillment for these people.
	And we may find that that is basically what Bitcoin is, right?
	These people have, as they put in this article here, they have a blind faith in technology.
	And they believe they can make humans immortal.
	And if you look at, so they create Bitcoin.
	We have a blind faith in technology.
	And you think it's going to make everybody rich if you get into it.
	A few people are going to get really rich.
	So he said, we were all fans of Neal Stephenson, who wrote books like Cryptonomicron, Snow Crash, they made that into a movie, I know, Snow Crash, and Diamond Age.
	They were the books of the Extropian Bible.
	For some of the most powerful men in Silicon Valley, Neal Stephenson is like a prophet because it is like a religion.
	It is an anti-God religion.
	The founders of Google, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, were influenced by him.
	Jeff Bezos hired this sci-fi guy to work with him at his space tourism company, Blue Origin.
	When PayPal started, Stephenson's books were required reading.
	And who ran PayPal?
	Elon Musk and Peter Thiel.
	So it's important that people understand where Bitcoin came from so that their fears about it can be allayed, but at the same time, they can understand where we want to take society for the better, said Lori.
	Well, when you look at this, I don't know about allaying my fears.
	It doesn't increase my fear, but it does increase my concern.
	I'm not afraid of these people, but I am concerned about what they want to do.
	See if we can pull up the picture that is there in that article.
	The founders of Bitcoin were transhumanists, and he shows the, yeah, that's it right there, the little logo there, extropy.
	And I thought that was kind of interesting.
	That's kind of the yin-yang symbol, but it's squared off, as opposed to being in a circle and curves and everything.
	It's all angular stuff, kind of like a Picasso type of look.
	But notice, Under extropy, there's a little subheading there.
	It says, Extropy, the vaccine for future shock.
	Now, if you understand these people were doing this back in the 90s and stuff like that, the book, Future Shock, By Alvin Toffler was still pretty much talked about and, you know, being talked about a lot.
	Newt Gingrich loved it.
	He talked about it all the time, Future Shock.
	And the whole idea behind Future Shock that Toffler was talking about, he made a lot of money, you know, going around like Jordan Peterson or something, you know, giving his opinion on things as a guru.
	So the idea was it's like Culture Shock, so totally disorienting and everything, except it was about the future coming at us.
	Do you feel that way?
	I mean, I certainly do feel that way when I look at these disruptive technologies and everything.
	Maybe it's just because I'm old, but...
	I think things are really changing really, really fast, quite frankly.
	And I don't think it's an illusion of age.
	I think that it is, in reality, what is happening.
	Now, these people were talking about it, how the rapid rate of change would be disorienting to people.
	And he said that in 1970. I don't think the rate of change was disorienting in 1970 at all compared to today.
	It really has accelerated when you look at it.
	What technology is doing to our lives.
	Look, I'm fine.
	I always loved technology until it got hijacked by government, like Eisenhower warned, and until government started using it for dark and evil purposes.
	Hey, look, I love having better computers and all the rest of the stuff and digital watches.
	It became quite a joke.
	But, you know, any little gadgets like that are always a little good thing to work.
	But when the government takes it, they always use it for subversion, for control, for harming people.
	And that's the way we see technology being hijacked.
	And I know that's what's going to happen with the AI. It's already happened to a large degree with the AI. You know, you can use the Internet for a lot of good and positive things.
	It's a tool, and so tools can be used for good things.
	But this is like, you know, a hammer that the government has seized and they're going around killing people by hitting them in the head with a hammer.
	That's what they're going to do with AI. And so his subtitle with the future shock was when change is the defining constant.
	And so I guess what they meant by that, that extra P was going to be the vaccine for a future shock, I guess it'd be kind of like, you know, how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb, you know.
	Strange love.
	And so you just stop worrying about future shock and you just embrace it.
	Because to them, they were selling the idea that future shock, that things where change is the defining constant, that's a good thing.
	That's a creative thing.
	And that's why Trump is the transhumanist president, because that's what he's doing.
	It's constant change.
	A constant change in the narrative.
	And whether this stuff is real or not, he's constantly throwing out more stuff all the time.
	And it could be a fantasy that he's throwing out there about doge, about firing people, about saving money, or about anything.
	But it's constantly capturing this in an entertaining way, in a frightening way, in a serious way, many of these things.
	But there's also a series that...
	I'll talk more about it when I see the rest of it.
	He's just put out part one from Unlimited Hangout.
	And he's talking about Dark Maga and the Technate.
	And of course, he goes into this.
	He goes into the background of Elon Musk, which I've covered many times before.
	I'm not going to go back into that again.
	But he says, and I like the preface that he had in it.
	He says, this two-part series examines the genuine but misplaced hopes.
	Of millions of U.S. citizens who elected Trump to a second non-consecutive term, unbeknownst to them, they have voted to live in a technate administered by what is called a gov corp, government corporation.
	In so doing, they have taken another step toward a multipolar world order or a new world order.
	Well, I think I would – New World Order has been used for so long, and it has been used to talk about a different kind of global governance.
	I think I would call this the next world order as opposed to the new world order, especially because it's a multipolar to start with before it becomes unipolar, global.
	So I would call it the next world order.
	Shortly before the November 2024 election, Musk rally, Musk was at the Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, following the, and he puts it this way, the alleged assassination attempt.
	I'm with him on that.
	I don't believe it.
	But Musk, if you remember, he shows up, and he's got a t-shirt and a jacket, and he's wearing a black Make America Great Again cap.
	And he said, I'm dark MAGA. Well, you know, a lot of people had explanations for that.
	Maybe it's just the fact that he had a dark cap.
	Maybe he was joking or whatever.
	But as he points out, he says, explanations for the dark MAGA declaration of range from Musk pushing the dark MAGA meme coin to Musk casting himself as a super antihero or even as an advocate of a violent fascist takeover of the U.S. But none of these claims have really addressed the more obvious reference.
	Musk is one of a cadre of technocrats behind the Trump presidency who promote the ideas encapsulated by the dark enlightenment.
	And I talked about that last week, and I'll talk about it more in future.
	Curtis Jarvin, their guru.
	When you look at these people, they're very intentional about what they do.
	They have a very clear idea.
	Of what they want to do, where they want to go.
	They have a worldview.
	They have a philosophy.
	They have a religion.
	And their guru for all this religion is Curtis Yarvin.
	And he was the one who talked about the dark enlightenment.
	That was his term.
	It's like, I'm dark, Maga.
	And I really do believe, I agree with him, that Trump is the mask, the public face of this group of technocrats.
	That have all coalesced around Trump, all of these Silicon Valley CEOs and everything.
	You could look at that and say, well, this is just a grift, and I think at one level it absolutely is a grift.
	These people realize that they can make money.
	But I think they all are united in the direction that they want to go.
	And when you look at, he says, you know, a lot of this stuff is taken as just kind of a joke.
	He says in 2021 SEC filing, Elon Musk, as CEO of Tesla, and his then-chief financial officer, Zach Kirkhorn, officially changed their respective working titles from CEO and I think to Techno Kings.
	Techno Kings of Tesla.
	He said this might be seen as a reverent fund, considering that Kirkland was also known by the Game of Thrones title of Master of Coin.
	But Musk certainly understands the gravity of the technocracy and the associated term of technocrat.
	He says, while oligarchs like Musk and Teal often express ideas in seemingly flippant manner, or as if the ideas sprang out of nowhere, these apparent offhand remarks are not meaningless, especially when you look at the reading list that they would have their employees look at to make sure they're on the same page with him.
	You know, they are pushing their little...
	Technocrat, atheist Bible, their vision of the world, their worldview of where they want to go, their idea of what right and wrong is, completely divorced from Western civilization's morality.
	So it's people like Musk, Peter Thiel, Jeff Bezos, other members of what the Council on Foreign Relations think tank member David Rothkopf generously characterized in his book as the superclass.
	These people...
	Our elitist.
	And he says, if you think this stuff is a joke, the joke is on you.
	He says Rothkopf's estimate is that there's about 6,000 individual oligarchs whose decisions impact the lives of the remaining 8 billion of us.
	He says that seems feasible.
	Do you want a context for why that $5 million gold coin is being put there?
	You know, they're trying to set up...
	An oligarchy.
	They're trying to set up and bring in a superclass.
	They're trying to coalesce all of that stuff.
	To me, I think that's a very plausible explanation for this elitism.
	Yes, they can't get enough of money.
	They're absolutely addicted to money.
	But I look at this and it's like, you know, we're circling the wagon and we want to bring the superclass of people in.
	That's what I think this $5 million goal card is about.
	Musk and Teal are made men.
	You know, they're kind of a public face of some of this other stuff, and especially Trump is a made man.
	He said, we're focusing on them because they're prominent accelerationist technocrat supporters of the Trump-Vance administration.
	And so then he goes on to a deep dive of the technocracy, which we don't need to go into right now, but you can see all of the threads that have been there for 100 years.
	And if you see this, you know, if you see their history, you know where their future is going.
	Angry Tiger, he says, this makes sense.
	This is why they're consolidating everything with Doge under the executive branch.
	I absolutely agree.
	And again, I think they seek to exercise control using the technology that they have, the AI that they have, that would give them a tremendous amount of leverage.
	And as I played the clip yesterday, I'll play it again for you right now real quickly.
	This is Alex Karp when he's talking about his book, The Technological Republic.
	But then he goes off in this interview that he has with the financial people.
	He doesn't just talk about his book.
	He says, I've been a Democrat all my life, and he really identifies with all of that stuff.
	And, of course, he is part of the American-Israeli intelligence thing.
	Palantir is a big part of that.
	Big part of that.
	Also a big part of the geospatial intelligence and everything, but he brags about how they use it to target people, to kill people, that type of thing.
	And he says, I'm just telling the Democrats, I don't want to see them go away.
	You know, don't oppose this stuff.
	You can't resist it.
	We can see everything that you're doing.
	That's what he says.
	Look at the power that Musk has.
	He's smarter than all these people.
	He's got AI at his beck and call because...
	Alex Karp does the same thing.
	These technocrats are looking at this stuff.
	And look, there's a way that we can cut them off.
	You know, we don't have to participate in their system.
	But again, here's what he has to say.
	There's two revolutions happening.
	One is transparency and one is AI. Okay, so why is it that we do not know where every penny of our money goes?
	Like, how do you explain that to people?
	And by the way, slightly more technically, what large language models do is they mean you can go into the contracts and see exactly what happened.
	So in the past, we couldn't do this.
	Now we can.
	The right response is, we want this to happen, we want to be involved in the dialogue.
	The real response is, it feels like the people criticizing Elon don't want it to happen.
	And this is going to destroy those people.
	Join or die.
	Join or die.
	That's basically what he's telling them.
	You know, you join with us or you're going to die.
	You can't fight it.
	Well, that simply isn't true.
	And we don't have to be afraid of these people.
	We have to understand they're a very formidable foe, but we have weapons that are mighty that they don't have.
	And our connection to God, God is the one who is in control.
	These people think they're God.
	And whenever I see people like Alex Karp, or I see people like Yuval Harari, these people are Klaus Schwab, or Elon Musk, these people who think they are God.
	It's just, you know, God will defend himself.
	But we also have weapons.
	We have weapons of prayer.
	Things that are mighty that we can do.
	Mav2022 says, Trump is a Pied Piper for the conservatives that would never accept this from a Democrat.
	It is a political tribalism.
	It is.
	But you understand that while they divide us, people like Peter Thiel, people like Alex Karp, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, these people are all united in what they want to do.
	As a matter of fact, you know, Bezos and Musk talk about how they're united to have a Mars technocracy or whatever.
	Well, they can talk about Mars.
	They want a technocracy on Earth.
	We'll be right back.
	A penny saved is a penny earned.
	Though, that's gotten tougher since they've stopped making them.
	Maybe it's time to start saving a different type of coin.
	Such as the new David Knight Show supporter commemorative coin.
	Saving these coins earns support for independent media.
	Featuring striking bas-relief with bold raised details and premium painted accents.
	It's not just a trinket, but a statement, a declaration.
	A way to show you refuse to be controlled by the establishment.
	It's a limited run of just 100 coins.
	So, much like the penny, when they're gone, they're gone.
	They silence independent voices.
	They censor the truth, but you can stand with real journalism and own a piece of the resistance.
	These coins saved is The David Knight Show sustained.
	Available now at thedavidknightshow.com.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	All right, and welcome back.
	And just to remind you, we have them, and they are at the website, thedavidknightshow.com.
	I want to talk a little bit about...
	What we can do about this.
	You know, what is it that we can do with this knowledge?
	Well, I think a good example of this is the fact that Disney has, within the last couple of months, they have removed a transgender character, and they have put in, for the first time in a very, very, very long time, an openly Christian character into one of their productions.
	They had a Christian actually come out of the closet.
	Imagine that.
	Well, why did they do that?
	Well, Newsweek likes to tell you that it's because of Donald Trump and his influence.
	I don't think that is the case.
	I think Donald Trump is talking about this because we're talking about it.
	The grassroots are talking about it.
	I think Disney, in a long lead time, put this stuff in before Trump was there.
	They did it because people are not accepting what they're doing to people.
	And we need to understand that we don't have to go along with any of this stuff.
	Just like we didn't have to go along with the masks.
	And when people stopped complying with the masks, when people stopped complying with the vaccines, guess what?
	It ended.
	They don't want you to realize that you have that power.
	So when you stopped complying with all of this stuff and masks, when everybody just got tired of it and quit with the masquerade and the nonsense, They said, oh, look, we won.
	We beat it with our vaccine or whatever.
	Every bit of that was a lie.
	This series is an episodic series, I guess, on Disney+.
	It's called Win or Lose.
	It's about a middle school softball team.
	Boy, I can't wait to see that.
	It's one of the reasons we don't subscribe to that.
	Anyway, they have an episode that focuses on a different character, off-field.
	And the debut episode...
	The character of Laurie is introduced and is openly Christian.
	What does that mean?
	You know, when you look at it, at Disney, you know, they're still going to be selling you the thing, follow your dream, right?
	They look at Christianity from the outside.
	So it's going to be this person begins, you're introduced to this person who has a cutout of an angel in the bedroom.
	Is it that thing with all the interlocking wheels of eyes?
	I love that.
	A lot of people are doing that with AI now on YouTube.
	Well, we see these angels.
	They're little babies with wings.
	Or they're people with wings.
	Male and female with wings.
	No, no, no.
	It's really crazy stuff.
	It's one of the reasons why I think about the Bible.
	Whenever people see an angel, it's like, fear not.
	It's like, whoa, what is that?
	Really strange things if you look at the descriptions in the Bible, what these angels look like.
	So they got a cutout of an angel in her bedroom, the traditional one.
	She begins this scene with the words, Heavenly Father.
	That's their idea of a Christian.
	And it's just an external view that they're observing.
	But I mentioned all of this.
	They said they haven't had a Christian character in any of their productions.
	Since 2007. A film called Bridge to Terabithia, which I never saw.
	And that you have some young adolescent children.
	In one scene, they attend a church together.
	So you've got a church building that's there.
	And they discuss religion on the way home.
	This is, you know, they want to do something.
	They perceive that the public, the grassroots is out there in a particular place.
	And so they want to try to.
	Cater to that in some way, but they don't really know how.
	And in the same way, we see governments who now have been pushing for depopulation, who have been pushing for abortion, who have been pushing women out of the home and out of their role as mothers.
	They're now looking at the birth rate collapsing in all these different countries, and they're trying to figure out what they can do.
	And they really don't know.
	Now, South Korea's birth rate rose for the first time in a decade.
	They had 8,000...
	More babies born last year than in the previous year.
	And yet, their fertility rate went from 0.72 to 0.75.
	And it has declined just 10 years ago.
	It was 1.24.
	It's now declined down to 0.72.
	Blip up to 0.75.
	What does it need to be in order to just maintain their population?
	It needs to be 2.1.
	So South Korea is dying.
	Most of the countries on Earth are dying.
	We're not having children.
	And so their response to all of this, the South Korean government is trying to throw money at people, benefits at people.
	Well, we'll give you some time off from your job, except it is these jobs that they've pushed people into.
	That are the, you know, we want both of you working and both of you paying taxes and all the rest of the stuff.
	That is what has caused this problem in the first place.
	They've lost the meaning of family.
	They think that simply, they're still trying to incentivize family by the focus on finances.
	And that's what got us here in the first place.
	There's been a very, very, very long, decades-long push of propaganda.
	To tell people that they don't want to be married, that they don't want to have children, that they don't want to be moms and dads and all the rest of this stuff.
	And now by throwing a little bit of welfare programs and giving people a little bit more maternity leave and things like that, they think they can fix it.
	It's not going to fix it.
	It is much, much deeper than that.
	And it is so deeply ingrained, this animosity towards God, towards...
	The family that he's created, towards the role of men and women, and even towards this animosity towards male and female gender that is out there.
	It is so deeply ingrained, this satanic agenda, that it's going to take a long time for that to come back.
	And guess what?
	It's not going to come back through the government.
	No government is going to lead us into that.
	As a matter of fact, this is where the governments are.
	If you look in Scotland, the Scottish health system suspended an American midwifery student, Over a pro-life social media post.
	This happens as Keir Starmer is pushing back against J.D. Vance, who said, you know, you've got some real problems with free speech and free exercise of religion.
	And Keir Starmer says, we have a centuries-old tradition of free speech, and it's currently going, and it will go into the future.
	Well, while he's saying that, this is happening.
	Sarah Spencer, 30 years old.
	Was suspended and subjected to a fitness to practice investigation as a result of comments that was made on a private midwifery Facebook group.
	Because nothing in the UK is private on social media.
	Nothing anywhere is private on social media.
	You need to understand, social media was set up to be a surveillance of all of us.
	And for the government to be able to surveil us and to create profiles.
	And it's going to become much, much worse.
	Much, much faster as AI rolls out.
	That's the purpose of it.
	So this is a Facebook post, private Facebook group that she was in.
	And they said, do midwives have anything to do with abortions?
	And can they refuse to take part in carrying them out because of their beliefs?
	And commenting on her treatment after this, well, her comment on this, of course, she was pro-life.
	She said there is a right to refuse to take part.
	And the law protects, I'm sorry, this is, yeah, yeah, that's right.
	This is her response.
	She said there is a right to refuse to take part, and the law protects individuals' statutory right of conscientious objection.
	And she said she would always personally object to participating in killing an unborn child.
	Well, now we have to say that now if she's not going to kill an unborn child, she's not fit to be a midwife.
	Who are the people running this?
	Egyptians or something?
	You had some of the midwives, some of the Hebrew midwives, they were told to kill the babies, you know, kill the male babies or whatever, and they saved Moses.
	Well, you can't have that.
	It seems like these same people who were doing that, of course, that was being done by the Egyptians who didn't want the Hebrews to have kids.
	This is being done by some Egyptians, not literal Egyptians, but some people who were antithetical to us in Scotland.
	It's the government.
	So, she said it's well known.
	After this, after she was treated this way, she said it's well known.
	Medical professions in the UK have a right to conscientiously object to performing an abortion.
	As a student, I expected to be able to freely engage in discussion amongst my peers about the grounds for my conscientious objection and to respectfully debate matters of medical law ethics and the philosophy of midwifery care, matters which lie at the heart of our profession.
	I was shocked by the NHS. Fife's response to my expression of legally protected beliefs.
	It is concerning that an NHS health board would be reluctant to welcome a student who holds certain beliefs regarding the significance of unborn human life.
	Well, again, J.D. Vance is lecturing Keir Starmer, and yet in the United States, you now got Trump and others who want to throw you in jail.
	If you express a dissatisfaction with the political philosophies and actions of a foreign government, Israel, you must not criticize their actions in Gaza.
	That's our own American government.
	Anyway, as a result of this, she was summoned to a meeting with her line manager, who subsequently turned the matter over to the Edinburgh Napier University, which initiated a fitness to practice investigation, had four parts to it.
	Four reasons to investigate her.
	Because she was bringing the profession or the university into disrepute by being pro-life.
	Because she was conducting herself in a manner that was detrimental to the safety, dignity, and well-being and personal and or professional reputation of others because she was a midwife who was pro-life.
	Because she was misusing social media by commenting about this on a private Facebook group.
	I'll tell you who's misusing social media.
	That is the government and their institutions, right?
	And then finally, because she was conducting herself in a manner falling below the expectations of the student's relevant professional code.
	So the code is to kill babies instead of helping them to be born.
	Sarah's career was negatively impacted by cultural prejudice against people with pro-life opinions, said her legal counsel, the ADF in the UK. And so, you know, this is what we can expect, but we can defeat this, and she has defeated it as well.
	So the Scottish spokesperson for the ADF UK said it should be considered entirely natural and expected that a midwife focused on delivering life into the world may have concerns about abortion.
	It's for this reason that our laws protect freedom of conscience for all medical professionals who should never be compelled to act in a way that they consider to be harmful.
	I mean, we are at the point where we have to have midwives fight the government over their pro-life beliefs.
	You want to talk about how we're going to get our society back?
	Yeah, we've got a long ways to go.
	This was an interesting article called Living Off the Land, and they talked about homesteading.
	You know, we talk about homeschooling many times.
	And as I said here, homesteading is not for everybody.
	It's a difficult thing, but this is a family that was able to make it work.
	It said, self-sufficiency and sustainable living.
	The modern homesteading movement has grown by leaps and bounds since the pandemic began.
	And they give some examples of what life was like.
	And the two sisters who are now working there, they've done this for a number of years.
	The family has.
	And they came back to the United States.
	He had been abroad.
	As a missionary, they came back to care for their aging parents, and they got into doing farming.
	Today, the farm produces pasture-raised poultry, grass-fed beef, and Thanksgiving turkeys, and lots of milk, which they're in Virginia, so they have to do it as a club to sell people these different things, but that is allowed at that point.
	One of their daughters, who is 23, they said they followed her around.
	It's giving a tour of a 100-year-old tobacco barn on their property.
	Low ceilings, typical of that period.
	It's where she milked 33 cows this morning.
	Even with the machines they use, it took two hours.
	And so they're talking about the fact that they sell yogurt, whole milk, other things like that.
	But I thought this was interesting when I read it.
	They said, one tough experience involved their flock of Thanksgiving turkeys.
	They had 150 poults, or baby turkeys, ready to move into the field when a storm blew through, stressing the poults, and they all died from the stress of a storm.
	You know, that's why when we talk about, oh look, they've got some birds that died over here, you know, and again, we're not seeing wild birds everywhere, but when we're talking about it, Jason Barker got on and he said, yeah, you know, when you see birds dying, it's typically because of stress in the environment.
	Mentioned that before maybe they got into poison.
	Not a manifestation of bird flu, but I'm sure if the USDA got wind of it, they would do it.
	But it was not wind from bird flu.
	It's just a storm that took out all their young turkeys.
	Peace.
	Thank you.
	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.
