	The End
	In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
	It's the David Knight Show.
	As the clock strikes 13, it's Friday the 7th of March, year of our Lord 2025.
	Well today we're going to take a look at more tariff vacillation.
	And why this is happening.
	I told you why this is going to happen.
	Because of the treaty that Trump himself put together and was so proud of.
	Turns out, in their grand design, they hadn't even checked what he had done.
	It's kind of a clown show, actually.
	But we're also going to take a look at some very important news.
	We have questioned the absence of details about that child that was reported to have died from measles.
	And now we have a stunning report about what really happened with that death.
	And we now also have escalation of the measles, escalation of the bird flu.
	It's amazing to see what's happening.
	And of course in New York, as they shut down the congestion pricing, now they're working on narrowing the road for wider bike lanes and all the rest of the stuff.
	There's a lot to talk about.
	We're going to get into...
	The background of Panama and Black Rock's role in that.
	We'll be right back.
	Stay with us.
	Yeah, we'll be talking also about Doge.
	The other thing that I said was going to...
	I said it's a lot of sound and fury signifying nothing because you've got to get through the...
	The legal challenges.
	It's got to get through the bureaucratic challenges.
	There's all these different boards and everything that are shutting everything down.
	And so that is now developing now.
	But it doesn't matter because it's already cemented in the mind of the Trump cult that he got all this stuff done.
	Just like the wall, you know.
	The wall was done too, you know that, right?
	Well, let's begin with the tariffs.
	And I want to actually take a look at the fact that it's kind of backfired.
	Because everybody was trying to get everything in before the tariffs dropped, you had a lot of people accelerating their imports to try to get them in before the deadline.
	And so what's happened is we got a record trade deficit.
	But what I find the most interesting about this is a big part of the record trade deficit is gold.
	Gold coming in.
	Gold coming in not necessarily through London, which if you remember, it was maybe six weeks ago or so.
	Tony broke the news that the London metals market was really getting snowed.
	You know, they couldn't keep up with orders, and that hasn't changed.
	But this is coming in through Swiss banks, the Swiss gold imports.
	Sends the U.S. trade deficit into a record high in January.
	So, they're scrambling to secure goods from overseas before Trump's imposed tariffs.
	The gap in goods and services trade widened 34% from the previous month.
	Imports rose 10% to a record of $400 billion, while exports increased only 1.2%.
	And so, his chaos, his vacillation...
	Is actually increasing the deficit.
	Canada's trade surplus with the U.S. jumped to a record as well at the start of the year.
	It's having exactly the opposite effect.
	And as I pointed out with the automakers, I said, well, we've got to try to bring as much stuff in as we can.
	We've got to try to find a warehouse.
	All of this is unnecessary expense and chaos.
	These are things that should have, and many of them are, covered.
	By the USMCA, of course, Canada puts it in as the CUSM. And Mexico puts their name first.
	So there's always a touch of nationalism and all of this stuff.
	But the bottom line is it was his agreement.
	Did he not know what was in it?
	Did he not care?
	Was there nobody in his staff that paid any attention to this stuff?
	Anyway, getting back to the gold stuff, imports of finished metal shapes that include gold bullion jumped $20.5 billion a second month of steep increases.
	You see what people understand, and we all need to understand it as well, is that when things get chaotic, you need to be able to pull back to something that is stable, something that is reliable, something that is physical, something that is private.
	That's gold.
	And so, again, Tony has set up DavidKnight.gold to take you to Tony Arterman's Wise Wolf.
	He can help you accumulate on a regular basis, or if you want to set it up for your IRA or something like that, he can help you with that, or just purchase large or small.
	While everyone has been distracted by talk of the tariff-driven arbitrage between the Commodity Exchange, COMEX, and LBMA in London, It said, nothing is stopping the gold train.
	This is a tweet by Zero Hedge.
	It said, gold parked at Comex vaults just hit an all-time high of 39.7 million ounces, surpassing the post-COVID panic high.
	And instead of slowing down, deliveries are again accelerating.
	Every day, the big bank shorts get closer to default, they said.
	Americans have been buying bullion direct from the Swiss as well.
	All those who incorrectly claim the physical gold scramble is just tariff arbitration.
	Between London and New York, good luck quietly deleting your posts.
	There's some speculation this massive surge in bullion imports from Switzerland to the U.S. could be an effort to refill Fort Knox, and America's gold depository has come under scrutiny in recent months.
	I don't know about that.
	Bottom line is, it remains to be seen how Trump and Musk are going to use that as a theatrical prop.
	In reality, it doesn't really matter.
	And the people who are buying the massive amounts of this, this is not necessarily retail.
	The people who are buying massive amounts of this are not going to be distracted or they don't care about the theatrical public relations, you know.
	Tours, the Al Capone vault type of thing that whatever Trump and Musk are going to pull with that stuff.
	That may have an effect on the retail trade, and that may cause it to move more as well.
	But again, you know, when chaos is deliberate, you want something that is stable, something that's physical, not digital, something that is private, not a public blockchain.
	Again, davidknight.gold will take you to Tony.
	This is not good at all for the first quarter gross domestic product.
	As we already saw, the Atlanta Fed's GDP Now forecast crashing.
	By the way, they know that their policies are not good for the GDP. Because you had Larry Luknick and others start talking about how, you know, we need to change the way we calculate GDP. Well, they do that when they know things are bad.
	They change the way they calculated inflation when they knew that it wasn't going to look good.
	Of course, they just outright lie on the labor jobs statistics.
	They will have, for the longest time, put out figures that evidently they just made up.
	And then they would always change the previous report so that trend looks positive.
	They always do that.
	They always adjust the previous one to make the trend look better.
	And they'll adjust it down so that now it looks like things are moving up.
	And of course, at the tail end of the Biden administration, we had nearly a record lie where they claimed 800,000 jobs were created that were not created.
	So when you look at all of these metrics, and that includes things like COVID cases, bird flu cases, you name it, okay?
	All of the stats coming out of the CDC or the Labor Department or calculating the inflation, all the rest, it's all a lie.
	And now they're working on how they can lie about GDP. Not to say they're telling us the truth necessarily now, but how they can increase the lie.
	The U.S. is going to pause some of Trump's tariffs on Canada until April the 2nd.
	Why didn't they do it April the 1st?
	Wouldn't that have been the perfect day to do it?
	Because they'll probably pull some kind of a rig then as well.
	Fool jig in!
	They should have done April the 1st.
	And it's what I said it was going to be.
	I said, they're not going to be able to tariff things that they'd already put into the USMCA agreement.
	Because part of what I did not like about that, which is the same structure that they had with NAFTA, is all essentially just, as I said before many times, Trump's trade agreement was just NAFTA rebranded.
	But as part of that, the three nations have agreed to submit themselves to arbitration, not just from the other nations, but from any industry or any company that thinks that they are being tariffed when they should not be tariffed.
	And so this is an arbitration process that the U.S. and all these other countries have already agreed to.
	Why is it that this genius, Scott Besant, Who broke the Bank of England with George Soros.
	And why is it that this genius, lucky Lutnik, did not bother to look at this?
	Nobody in the Trump administration did.
	And of course, Donald Trump doesn't know what he signed.
	Or care.
	What a clown show this is.
	Anyway, so they have delayed it.
	Until April Fool's.
	And what it affects, they said, that about 50% of Mexican imports, 38% of Canadian imports are covered in this trade agreement, and Trump can't put a tariff on them.
	But as I've been saying, the tariff doesn't make any sense.
	There was this tactic, there was this strategy to what they'd done before, whether or not you agree with it, they were at least trying to do something, whether it was the right thing or whether or not they got it done.
	Look at the ones that came in the late 1800s with McKinley that Trump loves.
	That was protectionist.
	And so were the tariffs that were done in 1828 that led to a nullification crisis.
	And the tariffs of abomination, they called them, because they were high.
	Those were about protecting certain industries, manufacturing and things like that.
	And you look at the ones that were put in by Jefferson, it was about revenue.
	We cut the government so much that we can just fund the government on tariffs.
	But that stuff with Trump is just an attack on Mexico and Canada.
	There's no rhyme or reason to it.
	And they didn't even bother to read the trade treaty that Trump put together and bragged about for years.
	It's idiotic, beyond belief.
	One analyst said, after three consecutive days of major tariff expansion or retraction, we have to ask, what was all this for?
	It's a TV show.
	It's a pageant.
	As I say, we'll wag the dog, right?
	We can wag the tariffs.
	We can wag everything.
	It's all a pageant.
	It's just a pageant.
	In Trump's statement announcing the delay, he didn't point to any specific further concessions from Scheinbaum, the Mexican president, on either fentanyl or trade.
	Even though there are some policy shifts that he might reasonably have hoped to achieve, as noted on Monday, he wrote, Scheinbaum's midday post also did not point to any specific policy commitments beyond general continued cooperation on immigration, fentanyl, etc.
	Oh, and guns.
	And by the way, the good news is that Mexico's lawsuit trying to punish gun manufacturers, that's not going to go anywhere.
	So that's good news.
	However, when we look at China, there's more beating of the chest by Pete Hegseth.
	U.S. is ready for war with China, he said.
	We're prepared.
	Those who long for peace must prepare for war.
	And the deterrence, and the warrior ethos, and on and on and on.
	So he's talking about all this stuff and beating his chest, and so the Chinese reply and say, well, if war is what the U.S. wants, whether it is a tariff war, A trade war or any other type of war.
	We're ready to fight to the end.
	So, you know, certainly, you know, if we're going to fight Canada, we should be fighting China, too, don't you think?
	Anyway, so the world is beginning to get tired of Trump's whiplash leadership.
	I think that's true, even though that's a headline from CNN. That is absolutely true.
	Now they have, of course, with it being CNN, they have their own partisan spin on a lot of this stuff.
	But the bottom line is that it is whiplash.
	It is, you know, this way, now it's that way.
	One day, Trump imposed a punishing tariff regime against Canada and Mexico.
	The next day, he froze the auto duties for a month after suddenly realizing, as everyone had predicted, that they could wreck a quintessential American industry.
	It's just the opposite of protectionism.
	It's like, let's wreck our automobile industry.
	That's why I said, is this a globalist agenda to try to get rid of the cars?
	With Biden trying to do it with regulations, no emissions and that type of thing, then Trump coming in with his tariffs, that one-two punch, whether that's intended or not, would kill him.
	However, so you think about that.
	He puts on all these things.
	That's it.
	There's nothing they can do.
	It's a done deal.
	I'm doing it.
	The next day, he pulls it back for the auto companies.
	All right, another 30 days.
	And then the next day, somebody shows him the treaty.
	Oh, well, another 30 days.
	What are they going to do in another 30 days?
	The treaty is still going to be there.
	It's going to be some more melodrama.
	You know, they'll put them back on.
	And then the 50% of Mexico, the 38% of Canada, then they'll pull them back off again.
	And then CNN said, and then they provoked Zelensky.
	Well, I don't think that was...
	I don't think that was Trump and J.D. Vance.
	I think Zelensky was kind of aching for that as well.
	Whatever.
	I mean, it's going back and forth and back and forth.
	Musk, meanwhile, is taking the chainsaw to the bureaucracy, indiscriminately firing workers and feeding agencies into the wood chipper, says CNN. That's a joke.
	That's also theater.
	I mean, you know, he might as well.
	Just fire up the chainsaw and rev it for effect, you know?
	And again, Doge is starting to get rolled back in a lot of different ways.
	Court decisions, bureaucratic panels, and all the rest of the stuff.
	Even the cuts to USAID. Two billion dollars in cuts to USAID. And the MAGA influencers, as they call them.
	I call them the Trump sucker proxies.
	You know, people like Jack Posobiec and Laura Loomer and D.C. Drano and all that.
	Oh, they're furious at Amy Coney Barrett.
	Well, where were they when she, as somebody who paraded her Christianity for everybody to see, Amy Coney Barrett was part of the group that told churches they couldn't meet during 2020. Where was the criticism from the Trump sucker proxies then?
	Well, they were too busy sucking up to Trump to criticize her then.
	And it's amazing for me to see the criticisms from people like Jack Vazoviet and Laura Loomer calling her a DEI pick.
	Who was it that did the pick?
	Who was it that did a DEI pick?
	Well, of course, it was their beloved leader, Trump.
	It just begs the question.
	How stupid are these people that follow them, that are influenced by them?
	Well, no, again, the chainsaw stuff and all of the workers that are being fed into the wood chipper.
	The reality is, folks, that you've got judges coming in there.
	And I said this from the very beginning.
	I said, unless they want to have this fight over judicial supremacy, it won't happen.
	I looked up the numbers, something like 677 district court judges in the country.
	It only takes one under the current system that we're operating under.
	If one district court and one judge out of 677, and it's something like 93 or 94 different districts, if one of the 677 judges doesn't like it, well, he can blackball it.
	I mean, this is like, you know, pledging a fraternity or something, where, you know, they pass the hat around, and if there's one black ball that goes in the hat, that person doesn't make it.
	Well, that's the way it is with policies.
	That's why nothing changes.
	So unless they're going to go head-on and tackle judicial supremacy, none of this doge stuff is going anywhere.
	Nothing's going to be fed into the wood chipper, whether you want it to or not.
	That's the reality of the way this thing works, just like that's the reality of this trade agreement, which I didn't like.
	I didn't like the USMCA, and I criticized it when he did it.
	But, you know, I would much prefer a taxation system that is anything other than the IRS. But I don't want both.
	And these tariffs, you talk about something that is a shotgun approach or a chainsaw approach.
	That's the way these tariffs are.
	Excuse me.
	CNN says the world once again is left hanging on the America first president's whims and obsessions.
	It's just a pageant.
	It's theater.
	There's too much unpredictability and chaos coming out of the White House right now, said the Canadian foreign minister, describing the U.S. trade policy as psychodrama that her country can't go through every 30 days.
	I guess we can say it's bipolar.
	You never know what he's going to do.
	There was that news clip of some woman on a plane, and she's like, get me off of this plane!
	And they weren't turning the plane around, and they were still taxiing down the runway.
	So she strips naked and runs up and down the thing.
	She says, I'm bipolar, I'm bipolar.
	He's like, I think we noticed.
	That's kind of a good analogy for Trump's government cuts and his tariffs, I think.
	So Trump might be downgrading the NATO alliance, they said.
	But he has set off an unprecedented rearmament program among NATO allies.
	Look, all I talked the first term about, well, you know, we might get out of NATO, unless you guys get up to your 2% of your GDP contributions.
	And I said before, as a cynical conspiracy theorist and critical thinker, I said, perhaps that was really the purpose of that.
	I don't think he ever wanted to get out of NATO. I think he just wanted them to escalate their spending because they knew what was coming.
	The people in Ukraine knew what was coming.
	Alexei Aristevich, who was the peace envoy for Zelensky, who was elected on a campaign of, I'll be the peace president.
	I'll stop this war that's been going on for five years.
	Alexei comes back and goes, no, it's going to get worse.
	We're going to have war in three years, and then we get into NATO. So if Alexei Aristevich knew that, do you think some of the people in the Trump administration, I know Trump probably didn't know, but do you think the people who are running him?
	As the face of all this stuff.
	You think they knew that?
	You think the purpose of all that talk about getting out of NATO is just to get them to ramp up the defense stuff?
	So, as CNN says, and I would agree with this, to some extent, the chaos is the point.
	How long have I been calling Trump the chaos president?
	I said, this is all just to create chaos.
	The chaos is the point.
	Stunt politics.
	Are the key to his political appeal.
	And of course they helped him with the stunts and New York prosecutions with the New York Attorney General Letitia James and the Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg and all the rest of this stuff.
	All about those stunts.
	The excessive warfare against him, lawfare against him.
	That was all a stunt and that basically meant that he didn't even have to run.
	They handed him the nomination with all that stuff.
	For some MAGA supporters, Trump's genius for enraging the Democrats, the media, and foreign governments is an end to itself.
	That's what this is truly about.
	And for ideologues, they said on the populist nationalist right, sparking pandemonium in Washington and destroying government agencies as a way of deconstructing the administrative state.
	Well, I would say even more so the transhumanists.
	Elon Musk and those people.
	They are trying to establish trust in themselves.
	Trust Trump.
	Trust Musk.
	Don't trust this.
	Trust artificial intelligence and our efficiency stuff.
	So they're changing.
	They're trying to reestablish trust, not even so much in the institutions, although that appears to be...
	The mission statement of RFK Jr. as well as Tulsi Gabbard to reestablish trust.
	But it's more trust in them than it is in the institutions.
	And so the question is, how are they going to use this chaos?
	So, they said Trump learned through his real estate career how to push opponents off balance with outlandish demands, verbal confrontations, sudden switches of position, and in government he does the same thing.
	To disorient adversaries and he seeks to improve power amid the mayhem.
	That's exactly right.
	Except the reality is that I don't really know if this is good for America.
	Why do we want to be the bully, the bad boy everywhere?
	And we see this in the headlines from New York Magazine.
	The U.S. is becoming a global sports supervillain.
	All the other countries.
	Hating the U.S. We saw it in hockey.
	We're going to be seeing it in the World Cup and all the rest of this stuff.
	How is that a good thing?
	Well, it's a good thing if that is what you want to do, is just create conflict and chaos and civil war.
	And these people want to accelerate change, and all of that involves conflict.
	We're going to take a quick break, folks, and we will be right back.
	Hello, it's me, Volodymyr Zelensky.
	I'm so tired of wearing these same t-shirts everywhere for years.
	You'd think with all the billions I've skimmed off America, I could dress better.
	And I could if only David Knight would send me one of his beautiful grey MacGuffin hoodies or a new black t-shirt with the MacGuffin logo in blue.
	But...
	He told me to get lost.
	Maybe one of you American suckers can buy me some at thedavidknightshow.com.
	You should be able to buy me several hundred.
	Those amazing sand-colored microphone hoodies are so beautiful.
	I'd wear something other than green military cosplay to my various galas and social events.
	If you want to save on shipping, just put it in the next package of bombs and missiles coming from the USA.
	Music by Ben
	Thede Music
	by Ben Thede Music by Ben Thede We just had Zelensky selling these.
	That was Whistler's commercial there.
	We have the MacGuffin t-shirt, which he's not allowed to buy.
	We have an embargo on that.
	Sanctions against.
	Sanctions against Zelensky in terms of buying the t-shirts.
	Here is also a MacGuffin tee.
	And here is the microphone hoodie.
	That's a nice looking hoodie.
	And let's see.
	I also have the MacGuffin sweatshirt as well.
	So just to remind you, we have all of those at thedavidknightshow.com.
	We had Whistler doing a fistful of dollars there.
	I just want to take a moment before we get into the other pharmaceutical news, and we do have a video where you have Children's Health Defense, which is still doing some good work, even though RFK Jr. has turned.
	And they've dug in and talked to doctors who were there, and they found some interesting details about this alleged measles death.
	And we're going to talk about that.
	But before we get to it, something that really strikes close to our home and our heart, I saw this article on Zero Hedge from Epoch Times.
	The headline is, The Drug Warnings You May Never See Until It Is Too Late.
	And what it is talking about is exactly the same thing that has injured Whistler.
	Lovofloxacin goes by the name of Lovaquin.
	I mean, they keep...
	If you go back...
	Cipro, 1980s.
	They keep changing it, intensifying it, changing the name so they don't know what it is, making it more dangerous.
	And this is a horrible story, and this began in the story of this 27-year-old daughter in 2023 that they talk about.
	This is how his began as well.
	And, you know, it's just infuriating, beyond belief.
	To hear these physicians and pharmacists saying, well, it happens to some people.
	It's very rare.
	It's very rare.
	It just doesn't matter.
	I just want to strangle the people that I hear that from.
	Like Fauci.
	You just want to punch them in the nose.
	You're killing people.
	You're crippling people.
	And you're hiding the numbers.
	You're manipulating the numbers.
	And your only response is, well, it's rare.
	It's rare.
	No, it's not rare.
	Define rare.
	You don't.
	Anyway, here's the story.
	Here's her story.
	In 2023, her 27-year-old daughter, Elisa, was prescribed a seven-day course of Levoquin, also known as Levofloxacin, for pneumonia at an urgent care clinic in Arizona.
	Neither she nor her mother had ever heard of the drug or the risks that it carried.
	I picked up a prescription and on a word was said, I had never even heard of black box warnings.
	A boxed warning, often called a black box warning because of its bold black border, is the FDA's most serious safety alert.
	It signals to doctors and pharmacists that a drug carries serious risks.
	A lady that I talked to, I can't remember her name.
	I didn't write it down.
	I interviewed her, and she was on the consumer board, and her husband was killed with SSRI.
	And she did investigations and found out how common it is.
	And she worked really hard and finally got a black box warning on it.
	But do they tell you the black box warnings?
	Halfway through the treatment, Alyssa's arm began to tremble, causing her to drop coffee cups.
	Within days, she was overwhelmed by unexplained symptoms.
	Nerve pain, muscle weakness, relentless joint pain.
	This is still going on with Whistler.
	Even washing dishes became painful.
	Unable to work, she moved back to Michigan to live with her mother.
	I don't know if she'll ever be able to walk again, says her mother.
	And we just thank God and thank you for your prayers that he is now walking.
	Although he has a great deal of difficulty just doing the most simple things.
	And it varies from day to day.
	So we would really appreciate your continued prayers.
	This fluoroquinolone antibiotics drug class has been flagged by the FDA's highest safety warning.
	In 2008, the agency cautioned that these antibiotics could cause permanent nerve damage, tendon ruptures, severe effects on muscles and nervous system.
	But these people, like us, were never warned.
	The urgent care doctor called it a strong antibiotic, and the pharmacy technician dispensed it without comment.
	Same as with us.
	Elisa's experience is more common than many think.
	Black box warnings often arrive years after a drug has been widely prescribed.
	Even then, many patients remain unaware until they suffer the consequences firsthand.
	Here's what happens with our corrupt FDA. They don't run tests.
	They don't care.
	They go with the data that is provided to them by the criminal poisoners that we call pharmaceutical companies.
	Then if something happens after a very long time, as they point out, they may put a black box warning on it and say, okay, we're done.
	We warned you.
	Just like Laura Loomer.
	Remember that?
	Tim Pool, Laura Loomer.
	And you had Luke Grodowski say it.
	Why can't Trump just say they're dangerous and I made a mistake and all this kind of stuff?
	And they stood up for him.
	Ah, it's four years ago.
	Who cares?
	Except they cared about the election that was four years ago.
	And Laura Loomer said, well, I knew not to get it.
	It's on you if you took it.
	Is it really?
	Is it really?
	Is there no responsibility for the people who are telling you that you've got to get it, that you ought to get it, that it's wonderful, that it's a miracle, that it's the equivalent of the moonshot?
	And they may be telling you the truth about that.
	Telling you that it's God's miracle?
	I mean, I've seen people, and I'll name the names.
	Franklin Graham.
	You got Al Mohler.
	You got a bunch of people like that that were telling you these lies.
	Franklin Graham may have even believed it because he wound up getting pericarditis.
	But they don't pull back.
	They don't tell people the truth.
	And so, you know, this is the pattern.
	The drug companies are allowed to do whatever they wish.
	As I've said before, FDA... Stands for free to do anything.
	The pharmaceutical companies that it's supposed to regulate are free to do anything.
	FDA. Then if people complain enough about it, they'll put a black box warning on it.
	But guess what?
	Then they don't tell people about the black box warning.
	The physician doesn't tell people about it.
	The pharmacist doesn't tell people about it.
	So then if you get it and you have an issue, now the FDA is protected and the pharmaceutical company is protected and they've shifted.
	The liability from themselves to the physician and to the pharmacist.
	And then it becomes a he said, she said contest.
	If you want to sue them.
	Black box warnings appear at the top of drugs prescription information printed and online materials.
	However, they're often missing from prescription labels.
	And the other information is not given to you by many pharmacies like ours.
	It leaves the patients uninformed about serious risk.
	Black box warnings vary in severity.
	Some flag life-threatening risks, such as organ failure or suicidal thoughts, like SSRIs.
	Others highlight serious but non-fatal side effects, like permanent nerve damage or birth defects.
	Some warnings focus on strict prescribing rules to prevent misuse or abuse.
	I've gotten to the point now where I... I go online, and even online, I'm at the point now, I just don't take any prescription drugs.
	Like I said before, I'm not just anti-vaccine, I'm anti-pharma.
	These people have been given a license to kill, like 007. They do it for money.
	They are poisoners, and they will do anything for money.
	They don't care about any of this stuff.
	I would never trust them with anything.
	Just an unbelievable criminal class, and they're...
	Co-conspirators in government at the free-to-do-anything FDA. So you go online if you're scared and you don't know any natural things to do with this stuff, right?
	You know, there's natural antibiotics that we've now found.
	There are natural treatments for cancer like apricot seeds, B17. Again, you can find those at rncstore.com.
	Use the code NIGHT for 10% off, but I'm not saying that to sell this stuff, folks.
	I'm saying this because I'm fed up.
	I'm fed up with the lies and the killing.
	I'm fed up with the death that is coming from this, the lives that have been destroyed with this.
	Disgust me.
	How do we allow this to continue?
	But if it's your family, what you need to do is you need to look beyond Even, like, you know, the online drug stuff, which is just going to regurgitate what the other stuff is.
	And when I went back and investigated this after Whistler got hurt with it, I didn't see the black box label on, what is it, the standard, when you look for adverse effects, WebMD, thank you, yeah, and others of that ilk, you don't see it.
	But you will see things like user groups and things like that.
	You have to search a little bit more.
	You might even use some of the AI chatbots because what they do is they'll go through and summarize a lot of things.
	They just go out and summarize websites for you really quickly.
	But if you're looking for something like that, sometimes that might get you a clue as to what to look for more specifically.
	But really look after it because, again, you're not going to see these black box labels on WebMD either.
	And the pharmacist isn't going to tell you.
	And the doctor's not going to tell you.
	Black box warnings were first introduced by the FDA back in 1979, and it was an antibiotic.
	It was an antibiotic that was linked to rare, rare, but fatal blood disorder.
	Why didn't the FDA stop that?
	Right?
	Why didn't they stop it?
	Instead, they put a black box label on it.
	Again, it's really bad.
	People are dying.
	So, okay, well, we're not going to pull it.
	We'll put a black box label on it.
	I have a friend of the family back in the early 90s whose wife was killed by the pharmaceutical industry and the FDA. And when he investigated this, he found that they knew about this drug.
	They approved the drug without doing a test.
	Then there was a big pushback.
	And it was so bad that they didn't just put a black box warning label on it.
	They removed it completely.
	And the pharmaceutical company protested, and I guess they bought some of the politicians on the inside, you know, some of these so-called scientists who were politicians.
	You know, they've got a big bribe-me label that they wear on their back.
	And so they approved it again.
	His wife got it, and she died.
	He said, what's going on with this?
	I remember that.
	It was just amazing.
	So I say, I don't trust the government, I don't trust the pharmaceutical companies with any of this stuff.
	If you do it, you're playing Russian roulette.
	As of 2022, more than 400 medications had black box warnings.
	These are 400 medications that should be gone.
	The first rule ought to be, first, do no harm.
	It doesn't matter if it's rare.
	And what does rare mean anyway?
	Does it mean a thousand people?
	Does it mean...
	400,000 people?
	Is it a certain percentage?
	Is it 1%?
	Is it one-tenth of a percent?
	Is it 10%?
	Is it 20%?
	Is it millions of people with a vaccine?
	As long as you can keep it quiet, you can say it's rare.
	So in 2023, the FDA issued more black box warnings than in any previous year.
	That, after extending a long-term increase that lasted over a decade, 2023 alone accounted for 40% of all black box warnings issued over the past decade compared to 12% in 2022. So when you look at this, this is becoming their standard thing.
	And I really believe that the pharmaceutical drugs are becoming more and more poisonous and more and more concentrated, working at the cellular level as they're doing their, you know, just like they're going to mRNA, they're going to genetics, they're going to other things like that.
	They're becoming far, far, far more dangerous, folks.
	Again, this is your warning.
	The agency stated that determining the frequency and causes of these warnings over time would require too much manpower.
	And it doesn't think that's an efficient use of resources.
	What are you there for?
	They're there for the pharmaceutical company.
	So what is behind the surge?
	Well, some people say that more high-risk drugs are making it to the market.
	I think that is the case.
	Social media has transformed.
	Now drug safety concerns come to light.
	Patient forums, advocacy groups frequently highlight potential risk.
	And that's the only place that you'll find it.
	You won't find it at WebMD.
	You won't find it at the pharmacist or your doctor.
	You will only find it on these forums.
	The FDA is not going to tell you.
	None of these people will.
	They're criminals.
	First, do no harm.
	Ought to be the rule to them.
	A 2021 study said that media discussions often identify drug risks months or even years after the fact.
	And that's social media, I should say.
	Up to nine years before regulators take any action.
	And then what is the action?
	Again, it's just slapping a black box label on it and saying we're done.
	Litigation in this area has skyrocketed.
	They said many doctors don't realize that not informing a patient about a black box warning can be used in court to imply that they did not inform a patient about any warnings.
	Black box warnings can shift the duty to warn from the drug manufacturers, from the FDA, to the doctors, to the pharmacists.
	That's the whole point.
	It's just passing the buck.
	I'm not responsible for this, and yet they are.
	They are.
	The people who are the most responsible for it, quite frankly.
	Of course, the physicians that are there, just to rubber stamp all this stuff, they said when they put out the black box warnings, they did surveys of physicians, the physicians aren't even reading this stuff.
	What are they reading?
	They're reading the propaganda that's coming from the drug companies.
	The drug companies send them all this blue sky.
	Slick stuff.
	Maybe they send them like they did through the opioid crisis.
	Maybe they send them on vacations and tell them how wonderful their drug is and all the rest of this stuff.
	And these doctors are not doing due diligence.
	They don't care.
	They don't care.
	Well...
	They have liability in this, but it's a difficult thing to prove.
	80% of these warnings could result from post-marketing studies, meaning that serious risks become evident only after widespread use.
	The FDA requires strong evidence before adding a warning, but they don't require any evidence before they put it out to the public.
	What a reprehensible agency.
	Yeah, if RFK Jr. didn't shut that thing down.
	All at once either, did he?
	Should have.
	Newly approved drugs often lack black box warnings, even if they pose serious risks.
	These warnings restrict direct-to-consumer advertising.
	So, pushing back against the black box thing is the pharmaceutical industry.
	Because if they've got a black box label, they can't do an ask-your-doctor thing.
	And you listen to those commercials on Fox News and on CNN and all the rest of this stuff.
	I don't watch TV, but when I worked at Infowars, I constantly...
	Had these TV things running in the break room.
	And I would listen to that when I'd go in to get coffee.
	And it's like, who in their right mind would take this stuff when you listen to these adverse effects?
	But if they got a black box warning, they can't do the TV promotions that fund Fox.
	P-H-O-X. Maybe we should do it.
	P-H-A-U-X, as in foe and false news.
	For the pharmaceutical companies.
	So I just had to bring this out because it's not just one drug.
	This is across the board.
	Everything.
	It's not just vaccines.
	These genetic code vaccines.
	But it's across the board.
	Antibiotics and the rest of this stuff.
	Well, we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Let's see.
	Welcome back.
	Ephesians 6.12 says, My wife recently had a heart attack.
	They have her on statins doing research for alt, or if needed, be very careful of statins.
	They tried to put me on statins, and I had already been pre-warned.
	These were leftist people on NPR. People's Pharmacy.
	But they were anti-pharmaceutical stuff, very cautious about it.
	And I remember that was one of their pet peeves, I'd say, 30 years ago.
	And when I'd be out pressure washing the driveway or something, I would listen to the radio when I had it.
	And, you know, I heard a lot about statins, so I knew about it.
	And that was the very thing that my cardiologist, after my heart attack, when they put me on statins, I said, I'm not doing statins.
	And he says, oh, you've been talking to Dr. Google, the quote that I've mentioned so many times.
	I said, yep, not taking those things.
	And I know other people who have taken them and who regret them, so be very, very careful of that.
	Please investigate that.
	And I think you'll find that they are not worth the, like most of this stuff, they're not safe and they're not effective.
	And the adverse effects are not rare.
	They are not.
	L.T. Oracle of Truth said Dr. McCullough was on the high wire yesterday and said that the new bird flu strain is definitely gain of function.
	I've got a whole section coming up on Dr. McCullough.
	He, in my opinion, has turned, just like Alex.
	He served a useful function at the beginning of this stuff.
	He put himself out there.
	He warned people about what was happening.
	But I think now he is part of the problem.
	He is scaring people to death so that he can sell them ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, and Tamiflu.
	And he is pushing for the next pandemic.
	People like him doing exactly the same thing that Alex Jones did in 2020. And I'm disgusted with that, and I'll call him out by name, and I've got a lot of stuff to talk about.
	The ads that he's putting on, Zero Hedge, all over the place.
	Striking fear and panic over bird flu.
	He's a flat-out liar.
	McCullough should be ashamed of himself, and you should not pay any attention to him and the fear.
	And if you want to get any of those things, again, do your due diligence.
	I'm not recommending any of those, especially Tamiflu.
	But do your due diligence on your own to find out what those adverse effects are.
	And if you want to get them, get them from somebody else that's not going to push this lockdown agenda, these faux pandemics like McCullough is doing.
	He's completely destroyed his credibility, just like RFK Jr. This whole ma-ha movement has turned into ha-ha.
	It's a joke.
	All these people have used this.
	They've been bought off.
	They've got their power.
	They've got their money.
	And they're going to throw you to the wolves just like Redfield and Burks and Fauci and all the rest of them.
	They have become what they supposedly resisted.
	12 June, 1776. Agreed, DK. Why hasn't Zionist RK Jr. made labeling a number one priority?
	Yeah, he's not doing anything.
	Shadowboxer.
	Fluoroquinolones are potent antibiotics that could keep you alive if you were dying, but they are prescribed for things like urinary infections causing a lot of suffering, many losses.
	Yeah, look, you know, when I started reading the comments of people and the groups where people are desperately trying to do it, what have you taken?
	Is there anything that you've taken that has helped?
	And some of the people chimed in on it with comments and said, well, you know, when I went to some third world country, I forget which one it was.
	The doctor gave me these things and he says, okay, I'm going to give this to you.
	But he said, don't take this unless you are on death's door.
	This is a very dangerous thing.
	It's like Russian roulette.
	And he said, it scared me to death.
	And that doctor gave him a warning.
	But, you know, they don't typically warn you.
	Be My Valentine says the side effects from drugs are the result of the body recognizing that the drug is not natural and so the body is getting rid of it.
	And some of the worst ones, you know, you look at the vaccines.
	What do they do?
	They attack your immune system.
	The antibiotics are a really, really dangerous class of drugs because what they do is they look at a particular bacteria and they say, how can we kill this living organism?
	How can we attack it at the cellular level or whatever?
	Well, guess what?
	The operation can be successful if the patient dies.
	The same thing that kills the bacteria, your body has also got a lot of those same components.
	And so as it destroys those components and the bacteria and quote-unquote cures you, it damages you for life or kills you, like that blood disorder.
	And I've had it happen to my mother as well as to my son.
	Antibiotics.
	So, Josh Krestman.
	Create your own apothecary.
	So many plants, yes.
	That's what you need to investigate that.
	And do that ahead of time.
	You know, that's what McCullough is telling everybody.
	He said, don't wait for this to happen.
	You know, get your ivermectin from me now.
	No.
	Right now, what you need to do to prepare is to educate yourself about plants and herbs and things like that that are safe and effective.
	Your own yard, things like that are medicinal.
	Yarrow, honeysuckle, antibiotics.
	I make teas and tinctures.
	There are so many.
	Honey is a wonderful antibiotic, by the way.
	Topical, internal.
	Zoxovoxaz.
	What's a good natural blood pressure reducer?
	Well, I don't know.
	If I did, I would tell you.
	I've tried garlic, and that did not work for me in terms of blood pressure.
	It did make sure when I was eating a lot of raw garlic, I got my six-foot distancing in from Karen and the rest of the family.
	But I liked the taste of it.
	I would eat it with garlic hummus.
	But I tell you what, through that winter period that I was taking the garlic, I didn't have a cold.
	And we had a situation where everybody else is getting colds and stuff like that, but I didn't have whatever it is.
	And again, I don't even necessarily believe that colds are contagious anymore.
	But I did not get it as long as I was on.
	Garlic.
	So it was very effective for that.
	B. Slice, thank you for the tip.
	He says, David, you can say, first, do no farm.
	Pharma.
	First, do no pharma.
	That's the first rule of health.
	I like that.
	That's good.
	We should do a t-shirt about that.
	That's really good.
	First, do no pharma.
	So, yeah, let me just talk a little bit about this, because...
	The program was ending yesterday, and I really wanted to talk about this family in Virginia that started a farm.
	They homeschool their kids.
	The kids work on the farm.
	And the reason I mentioned it, a couple of reasons, I did get to say this at the very end of the program, and I'm going to repeat it.
	They said, as they were beginning and as they were learning, they said, here's some of the pitfalls of this stuff.
	They had 150, they do turkeys.
	They had 150 poults, they call it, baby turkeys.
	And it said a storm came through, and it stressed the baby turkeys, and they all died.
	They all died from fear.
	Kind of like COVID, you know?
	No, seriously.
	You know, when we were talking about, oh, look, they found 20 dead birds in Long Island, you know, when I was talking to Geese Busters last week, and we talked about that, the fact that you don't see wild birds dying everywhere, do you?
	And if this was, if bird flu was something that's coming from the wild birds and all the rest of it, you'd be seeing wild birds dead all over the place, but you're not.
	And so, you know, when they find dead birds there, were they poisoned?
	Or maybe there was just something in their environment that changed and they got really stressed, and that would kill the birds.
	So, you know, we don't really know.
	We're going to talk about this measles case.
	When we see a death, yes, the death of a child is absolutely a tragedy, but...
	It's an even greater tragedy to use that to push people to get a vaccine that causes autism in their children.
	Well, you've really doubled down on the tragedy then, haven't you?
	She said, once you grow them to full maturity and you sell them, that's your entire winter paycheck for the farm, and that's how you buy the shoes, that's how you buy the groceries, that's how you pay the electric bill, and so is a big deal for them when their turkeys all die just because of a storm scaring them.
	The mother remembers when her son, barely two years old, came into her house with eggs in both hands.
	He said to me, working hard, what would you do without me?
	She said, we were like, we don't know.
	We would be up the creek.
	We need you so badly.
	We're so glad that you're here.
	She said, so it's like little farm kids never really have to wonder why I am here, and do I have a purpose?
	I wanted to mention that.
	The two daughters, sisters, said they can name a lot of ways that farm work builds character.
	Sisters said there's physical labor, you're having to work with other people, people who, you know, rub you the wrong way.
	Often you are working with nature, you're working with lives, you're working with animals' lives, animals that depend on you.
	She said, so I think...
	She said, I think the biggest thing is that they want us to be the kind of people that God can use.
	That's the key.
	That's the key.
	Thomas Jefferson believed that the agrarian society was the basis of our country, and I agree with him.
	You know, they made a lot of fun of that with green acres, you know.
	This guy's a lawyer turned gentleman farmer.
	And he would start waxing poetic about the farmers that are out there.
	But that's for real.
	It's real.
	Farming is grounded.
	And it's not for everybody.
	That's what the Father says.
	He says it's difficult.
	It's not for everybody.
	People have different callings.
	God gives people different capabilities and different temperaments and all the rest of this stuff.
	I wanted to talk about that because of all the turkeys dying from the stress, but I didn't want to leave that without talking about how that affected their family.
	And I'll just say one more thing before we take a break, and then we get back on to some of these other topics.
	I thought it was interesting to see Wikipedia's co-founder had converted to Christianity.
	And you know we have all these things.
	People say, oh, here's a celebrity who became a Christian and everything.
	So, what?
	That's good?
	Fine.
	But that doesn't validate anything, because a celebrity has done it.
	But in this particular case, I thought his story was interesting.
	Not so much because he's a very intellectual guy, and he was very rigorous in his examination of this stuff.
	He grew up as a child, and as he said, as he got to adolescence, he was inquisitive, and he started asking questions, like, you know, well, so where did God come from, and things like that.
	And his father, who was an elder in the church that they had, he didn't have any answers.
	And he said, you know, contact this guy who's a bishop or something.
	I don't remember what church group he was in, but it's a very hierarchical structure.
	So he calls this guy who's a bishop, and he said, the guy just basically blew me off.
	He didn't want to answer any questions.
	I could tell that he was just bugged.
	But he says, I also felt like he didn't have any answers.
	And he didn't.
	You know, we're told to have an answer.
	For the hope that is within us.
	And we should all be able to answer that for ourselves.
	We should critically look at this.
	And if we do critically look at it, and we do come up with those answers, then we should be able to answer that for people who have questions or who are skeptical.
	But we need to answer those things for ourselves first, if you haven't done that.
	You don't really have much of a faith.
	It's kind of a blind faith that's there.
	And so he said, So, old friends and colleagues who lost touch might be surprised, he said.
	His name is Larry Sanger.
	And he got a lot of attention, he said.
	I was really surprised that people even remember who I was.
	He left Wikipedia a few years ago.
	He's got a great story, actually.
	And it's a story of, as I summarize it here, this is a Christian post.
	A highly intelligent man, coming to terms with truth after years of wandering through academia, famously penning skeptical blogs and essays about morality, good, evil, the West, and God.
	At one time, Singer decided to start reading the Bible not to find God, but because he was, quote, trained as a close reader of difficult texts, unquote.
	And he wanted to understand it properly.
	So he was just kind of curious.
	And, you know, I've seen many stories of a lot of people who...
	I like Jay Warner.
	The guy, the cold case detective.
	Jay Warner Webb, is that him?
	No, no.
	Warner.
	Jay Warner.
	Jay Warner.
	Anyway, if you look at...
	I've interviewed him twice.
	I should remember his name.
	I'm getting older.
	But he was looking at it to...
	Basically get his wife away from it as a dangerous cult.
	He was a cold case police detective.
	He said nobody in his family had ever been Christian.
	And so he started looking at it from a perspective that he would if it was a cold case where all the witnesses have died.
	And you evaluate their testimony to see whether or not it holds up truthfully.
	He says it's what he does for a living.
	And that convinced him.
	In this particular case, they compare his journey, Larry Singer's journey, to C.S. Lewis.
	He found the Bible could sustain the interrogation of all of his critical questions, he said.
	And so he said, again, recapping, the adults in his life didn't have any answers, didn't care to look for any answers.
	So his questions resolved into strong doubts.
	He never embraced fully-fledged atheism, but he did become agnostic.
	Interesting thing about the term agnostic.
	It's a Greek term.
	Gnostic means to know, right?
	Knowledge, that type of thing.
	And when you put A in front of something, just like atheist, right?
	That's somebody who doesn't believe in God, rejects God.
	Well, agnostic or A before gnostic means that you don't know.
	The Latin equivalent would be ignoramus.
	Just saying.
	But anyway, yet over the years, various life experiences like marriage and fatherhood.
	He even had his children reading the same Bible that he didn't believe in as just a book to study, as well as its own innate curiosity led him back to where he had begun.
	So one of the most helpful things for him was the apologetics website, gotquestions.org, a great resource for anyone that's on the same path as Singer.
	I also like Answers in Genesis.
	To me, that was...
	That's a wonderful faith builder when I was teaching my kids.
	They have excellent material for kids, and they have excellent answers as well.
	He was genuinely surprised to find that there were Christians out there who had been sharing answers for centuries.
	When he honestly engaged with the arguments for a belief in God, most of all, a straightforward reading of the Bible for himself, he came to see that Christianity really did have good, sufficient reasons.
	It is not a blind faith.
	And if you have a blind faith, Put some eyes to it.
	If you've got a wide face, start reading until you can see.
	How about that?
	DivClone, thank you very much for the tip.
	Says, hi.
	Well, hi, thank you.
	Thank you very much.
	S.A. Miller, one, two, three.
	Says, grapefruit brings down blood pressure.
	All right, I'll try that.
	That's why they tell you don't use it when you're taking the drugs.
	Oh, good.
	Yeah, that's...
	You know, when I saw this, once Whistler started having these things, I... I looked at all the information, first of all, that we had as part of the search.
	I looked at the stuff that they gave us.
	And the only thing that it said was, don't take, let's see, what was it?
	Magnesium.
	And there was one other thing.
	And so I said, get all the magnesium we can right now.
	Because I looked that up and it blocked it.
	It wasn't that it had some bad interaction, but it blocked its effect.
	So we started doing magnesium.
	Big amounts, as much as we could.
	And so that's kind of the same logic with a grape seed, I guess.
	RFCF2020, thank you very much for the tip.
	I appreciate that.
	It says, Mark 525, a woman who had a hemorrhage for 12 years, 26, and had endured much of the hands of many physicians, had spent all that she had, and was not helped, but instead had become worse.
	God is our physician.
	We see that over and over again.
	For the love of the road.
	Thank you very much for gifting a subscription.
	Thank you.
	And also, thank you for the love of the road that did these coins.
	And send us a lapel pin, which Karen put on my jacket today.
	We have not put those on the website yet.
	But thank you very much.
	And thank you for the tip.
	He says, TGIF, tip rally today, people.
	Please let me know if you've got the lapel pins that...
	Oh, there you go.
	I haven't read that yet.
	Yes, I did, and I've got it on right now.
	And you can't see it because of the...
	Well, here we go right here.
	The lapel pin is actually the back of the coin in a small form that's there.
	And Valerie Ferguson, my family are also fans of IV therapy.
	Vitamin C, oxidation, chelation.
	Chelation really helps blood pressure issues.
	Well, that's good to know.
	I know that we did IV therapy for Whistler.
	We got him on a lot of vitamin C and some other things.
	I forget all the stuff that they gave to him, but I know vitamin C was a big part of that.
	Well, we're going to take a break, and we'll be right back.
	And I'm going to play for you the coin ad.
	We do have a new coin.
	It is a really nice coin.
	It's in color.
	Look at that.
	I don't know if you can see that or not.
	But we've got a better picture of it coming up.
	But it's very large.
	And that also was a gift from For Love of the Road.
	And I'll let Ben Franklin tell you about it.
	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 I said that Children's Health Defense is still doing some good work.
	And they've got a report about this child that allegedly died from measles.
	Actually, they don't even say the child died from measles.
	They say the child died from being unvaccinated.
	That's what you see everywhere.
	Cause of death?
	Unvaccinated.
	This is what they posted up on Twitter.
	They said, horrifying, the parents were literally begging for breathing treatment for their child.
	Unconfirmed reports out of Gaines County, Texas, suggest that the deceased child Who tested positive for measles, and of course, that is also, what is the test?
	Is this a PCR? What is the number of cycles and all the rest of this stuff?
	Tested positive for measles, was refused breathing treatments for her RSV pneumonia.
	RSV is very common.
	Very, very common.
	It's like a common cold.
	And it can turn into pneumonia.
	So, did the child die?
	That's what I said from the very beginning.
	I said, what do we know about this?
	What treatments did the child have?
	What did they do or not do at the hospital?
	Was there other comorbidities?
	They had RSV pneumonia.
	They want to say that pneumonia was due to measles.
	Reports on the ground say the parents were literally begging the practitioners in the hospital for breathing treatment because she was having such a difficult time breathing with pneumonia.
	But she never got those breathing treatments.
	So this is the video that they put out.
	But you've got the senator sitting in the front row just a few feet away.
	Sorry, that's the wrong one.
	That's the wrong one.
	Let's see.
	Where is it?
	Here it is.
	Reports on the ground say that the parents were literally begging the practitioners in the hospital for breathing treatments because she was having such a difficult time breathing with pneumonia, but she never received those breathing treatments.
	The recent death of the little girl in Gaines County, Texas, she was admitted to the hospital with RSV pneumonia.
	These are unconfirmed reports, but we're hearing them.
	from doctors on the ground.
	We're hearing them from representatives of the parents themselves of the deceased little girl that she entered hospital with RSV pneumonia and she did not There you go.
	What did I say from the very beginning?
	I said, I don't believe that.
	I never, ever, in spite of the lies, From the lying CDC and the rest of them, I'd never, ever heard of anybody dying from measles.
	And nobody that our parents, you know, whether you're talking about New York or Florida, where we grew up, nobody had ever heard of any of this stuff.
	This is a complete fabrication.
	Dying of something else and labeling it as that.
	You know, just use the Brady Bunch treatment, okay?
	Just chill out.
	Do some artwork.
	Make sure you use blunt scissors for the kids and that type of thing.
	So, again, you hear that.
	No rash.
	Diagnosed with RSV. But they will do a PCR test.
	And they can find supposedly anything.
	And now they're telling us a second person has died.
	Oh, really?
	You know, when you look at how many people die from The pharmaceutical drugs that they have there, right?
	Well, whenever somebody dies of one of their pharmaceutical drugs, it's rare.
	But we should all panic globally and get our MMR shots when a single person is labeled as a death and fraudulently labeled as a death.
	Unvaccinated New Mexico resident tests positive for measles after dying.
	Again, same stuff.
	And you don't even know when they say that a test was positive.
	Not only do you not know the number of cycles, but we also realize that they've got this other thing.
	So you can be positive, you can be negative, or you can be non-negative, which they count as positive.
	Which means that it's not really, it doesn't show positive, it's just kind of an indeterminate thing, but they'll push it over to the positive side.
	So is it positive, negative, or non-negative?
	So a possible, this is being put out by ABC News, right?
	Stop the presses everywhere.
	You know, are we going to do that for every single death of every single cause?
	No, we will do it because they want to push an agenda for measles.
	How ridiculous is this?
	Even if this were true, and I don't believe either one of these cases, especially not the first one, but even if it were true, let's say that you had two people that had died of pneumonia.
	Look at all the other causes of death that are out there.
	Do they stop the presses and put it at the top of the websites everywhere for anything else?
	No.
	There's obviously an agenda that's going on here.
	And we need to cynically shut this whole thing down.
	First measles death this year was reported in an unvaccinated school-age child, they said.
	Well, again, murdered by the hospital, as we saw through the COVID stuff.
	You know, the excess deaths.
	Trended up a little bit because they're killing people with ventilators, killing people with remdesivir, other things like that.
	Denying treatment to them as they did to this child.
	But then it just went straight up when we had the kill shot from Trump.
	ABC says almost all the cases are in unvaccinated individuals or individuals whose vaccination status is unknown.
	Well, we'll count them as unvaccinated.
	You know, without action.
	They're saying this is now coming from The Hill.
	Should they change their name to The Shill?
	They're selling fear.
	And they got one article after the other.
	By the way, does anybody think this is interesting?
	Has The Hill been a medical reporting thing?
	No, they're political.
	This pandemic is political.
	This narrative, this fear-mongering is all political.
	It's all political.
	It's all there because they want to put pressure on RFK Jr. And it worked.
	It worked.
	He did exactly what they wanted.
	Oh yeah, everybody get the MMR. Oh yeah, we're going to send more of the MMR there.
	We got people on the ground from the CDC and all the rest of this stuff.
	He fell in line completely.
	It worked perfectly.
	And so The Hill is about what happens on Capitol Hill.
	It's all about politics.
	So why are they talking about a single supposed Measle death.
	And then look at this article.
	Without action, spring break could create the gulf of measles.
	The shill.
	The shill.
	Well, let me just ask you this, shill.
	Are the college kids vaccinated or unvaccinated?
	You know, you look at these college kids that are going to be going to spring break.
	They all had to get vaccinated to go to the government schools that they're going to, right?
	And they've probably been vaccinated multiple times, and then they've got to make sure they're vaccinated with everything, including COVID shots, in order to go to college.
	So what's that about?
	Are you telling us that the vaccines don't work?
	Are you telling us that what's identified as measles is maybe something else?
	It's not a virus?
	Maybe your vaccine doesn't work at all?
	Maybe it's not even a virus?
	Is that what you're telling us?
	And then you have this from Dr. Jane Orient.
	What to do if measles is in your area?
	And it's kind of a don't panic.
	You know, there's a lot of different things that you can do, she says.
	You know, you can use nasal sprays, mouthwashes with potential antiviral effects.
	Things like iodine, hydrogen peroxide.
	She says xylitol.
	I thought that was an artificial sweetener.
	I don't know.
	Anyway.
	No, you can also use silver.
	And you can take adequate vitamin A, she says.
	So, you know, whatever, as long as it's not something, first, when you look at these, first, do no harm.
	If it's not something that's going to hurt you, then go ahead and try it.
	She says, consider high-dose intravenous vitamin C, as we were saying before.
	Watch for and treat concurrent bacterial infections, such as pneumonia.
	Look, we never had to do any of this stuff when it was going around with the kids.
	I would just say that maybe you ought to take the Brady Bunch advice.
	Just watch TV, play games, get some magazines.
	Old magazines, if you can find any old magazines.
	Maybe get some advertising flyers and let the kids cut them out with blunt scissors.
	That's the most important thing.
	But they're taking this very seriously.
	And they're pushing this very hard.
	And so, Medical Express saying, parents are rushing to vaccinate their children after the measles outbreak hits Texas.
	Here they are nudging, nudging, nudging, pushing, nudging, pushing.
	Five-year-old Shadow is one of dozens of children being rushed to health centers in the state of Texas to get the measles vaccine.
	After the recent death of a child from RSV who was diagnosed with RSV going into the hospital, had no rash, and the parents were begging for the child to have assistance breathing, they denied that.
	Yeah, one death nationwide.
	No details.
	Endlessly hyped.
	How many people die every day from how many different things?
	By the way, when you have children and young fit athletes dropping dead from heart attacks, what do they say about that?
	Ah, it's nothing to see.
	Never mind.
	Never mind.
	Do they stop all the presses for one child dying of a heart attack?
	No.
	Instead, what they say is, well, now the news will say, now you're going to have to get an EKG or whatever to participate in sports.
	Why is that?
	Let's not talk about why that is.
	And that's exactly what they did all these years with autism.
	Just normalize it.
	Here's a new normal.
	Now you're going to have to get an EKG. You're going to have to get a heart test before your child can participate in sports.
	But that's not...
	We don't have to be concerned about that.
	But you've got one child who died from RSV and had no rash, and we've got to freak out everybody.
	So it kind of sparked fear, and we're like, all right, it's time to go get vaccinated.
	Let's go, said the 31-year-old father.
	That's exactly what they want.
	They're nudging you with this.
	They go to somebody that actually says that to them, and that's what they're looking for.
	They're not going to give you a balanced report.
	They've got a narrative, and they go out and they find people who are going to fit that narrative and push that narrative.
	The CDC says the MMR vaccine is very effective at protecting people.
	Well, if that's the case, then you don't have to worry about those college kids going to spring break, right?
	And then you have this from The Shill again.
	The Shill on Capitol Hill.
	Nine states report measles cases as outbreaks grow.
	One of the most contagious viruses, and yet not dangerous, even if you believe that's what that is.
	And again.
	Relentlessly pushing this child who died from not being vaccinated.
	That's what the kid died.
	So the CDC says that it's on the ground in Texas to aid in the measles outbreak.
	RFK jab is right on it.
	They have something that they call, I've never seen this before either.
	There's so much, so many layers after layers after layer of bureaucracy.
	Hey, Doge, you need to get on this.
	They have something called the Epidemic Intelligence Service.
	And they're disease detectives.
	They imagine themselves to be like spies, more like Maxwell Smart.
	And so they're on the ground.
	They're in Texas.
	They're searching with their PCRs.
	They're probably going to go through the sewers and test to see if they can find anything in the sewers.
	So, again, this is to ferret out any vaccine skepticism and to kill it.
	RFK Jr. sending vaccines to Texas.
	U.S. Health Secretary RFK Jab has announced the sending of thousands of vaccine doses to Texas.
	Boy, I tell you, it worked like a charm on him, didn't it?
	He just folded like a deck of cards.
	Yeah, we're holding all the cards, says Trump to Zelensky.
	Well, guess what?
	There's a new deal coming, and they just reshuffled the deck on RFKJ, didn't they, with all the stuff that he said.
	The politician has previously been accused by his critics of promoting conspiracy theories about vaccines and attritions.
	That's it.
	He's a politician.
	They win.
	And was there ever any doubt?
	I told you from the very beginning I didn't trust him.
	And one of the reasons I didn't trust him was because of this.
	As one person puts up Red Pill USA, he says, I'm starting to have major doubts about...
	RFK Jr., who he really is, is he compromised?
	And shows him sitting at a table with his wife, and there's Jeffrey Epstein right there talking to him.
	Let me just say, Red Pill USA, you're starting to have major doubts about him?
	Where have you been?
	Where have you been?
	You're starting to have major doubts about him.
	RFK Jr., RFK Jab, wrote in his post as he called stopping the outbreak a top priority for his team.
	And, of course, he's writing op-ed pieces.
	He's sending thousands of vaccines.
	He's sending in disease detectives.
	He's doing everything that they want.
	Truly is amazing.
	As Brian Shalhavi says, from defending children's health to destroying it.
	RFK Jr. now recommending the MMR vaccine after years of condemning it.
	Yeah, he said, here's what RFK Jr. wrote about.
	Back in 2019, he said HHS's Voluntary Post-Marketing Survey Program on Vaccines, VAERS, reports over 89,000 adverse reactions to MMR through 2018, including 445 deaths.
	Oh, but don't care about those 445 deaths.
	Let's talk about the one child who didn't even have any rash that they claimed died of measles.
	However, VAERS is voluntary and notoriously ineffective.
	It captures fewer than 1% of vaccine injuries, according to a 2010 HHS-funded study performed by another federal agency, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.
	If you multiply the known adverse events from the MMR by 100, you get 44,500 deaths and 8,900 injuries.
	In a lawsuit against Merck, against the MMR vaccine that was filed in 2010, former Merck virologists claimed that they were, quote, witnessed firsthand the improper testing and data falsification in which Merck engaged to artificially inflate the vaccine's efficacy findings.
	The former Merck scientist claimed that Merck's faulty MMR vaccine has caused the U.S. to pay hundreds of millions of dollars.
	For a vaccine that does not provide immunization.
	RFK Jr. also reported about a whistleblower lawsuit in an article that he published on Children's Health Defense.
	As the Merck MMR whistleblower case proceeds towards resolution that increasingly appears to spell doom for Merck's scandal-ridden MMR2 blockbuster, two senior Merck scientists filed their federal whistleblower lawsuit in 2010. Claiming that Merck fraudulently added rabbit antibodies to human blood samples to gull FDA officials into believing that the vaccine was 95% effective and
	thereby winning an MMR monopoly.
	Yeah, they're criminals.
	Murdering criminals.
	When the scientists threatened to expose the fraud, Merck officials offered bribes, threatened them with prison, And then destroyed the lab evidence in garbage bags.
	Merck's defective MMR2 is currently causing dangerous mumps epidemics in fully vaccinated adults across the globe.
	At FDA's behest, GlaxoSmithKline recently published the results of U.S. clinical trials for the hasty licensing of Glaxo's MMR vaccine Priorix, knowing that no MMR can survive safety testing against an inert placebo.
	And yet this guy who said he was going to do something about it, maybe he's completely owned, huh?
	Maybe that's the real purpose of all of the pageantry about the Epstein files, huh?
	The MMR vaccine is in the CDC schedule of childhood vaccines, and as such, it has been litigated frequently at the U.S. Vaccine Court by victims.
	In 2018, the vaccine court awarded a $101 million lawsuit for an infant who suffered brain damage after getting the MMR vaccine that RFK Jr. is now rushing out by the thousands to children in Texas.
	This child was a one-year-old healthy baby girl who was already walking and climbing.
	On February 13, 2013, she received vaccinations for MMR. And for flu shot, and for pneumonia, and for chicken pox.
	That'll do it.
	Team up on all those different jabs.
	That evening, the mother noticed the baby was irritable and feverish, and after a call to a pediatrician, the doctor advised the mother to give Tylenol and Benadryl.
	The fever continued for several days, and on the evening before the baby's scheduled pediatrician visit, she began having severe seizures.
	She was rushed to the emergency room.
	The baby went into cardiac and respiratory arrest.
	Doctors placed her on a ventilator.
	The seizures in the cardiac arrest left her with a severe brain injury, encephalopathy, cortical vision impairment, truncal hypotonia, which is low muscle tone, and kidney failure.
	Her disabilities require specialized medical care and supervision around the clock for the rest of her life.
	The $101 million settlement will pay for the child's constant high-level medical care for the rest of her life.
	That's so that the pharmaceutical companies can become millionaires and billionaires.
	And RFK Jr. is going to let that stuff go.
	$101 million from this rigged vaccine court that is very stingy with money.
	Very stingy with money.
	The family received a lump sum of $1 million to cover the immediate costs.
	The rest will be paid out through an annuity over the child's lifetime.
	The child's life has now been destroyed.
	There's no amount of money that can...
	And you know what?
	I don't really care that people are threatening RFK Jr. and blackmailing him over this.
	He's reprehensible.
	He shouldn't have even gone there.
	Just stay on the outside if he can't stand the heat.
	And if he's got a life that is so open to blackmail that he's going to betray people like this that he's talked about for so long.
	I'm thoroughly disgusted with him and Trump and all the rest of them.
	And then on the other side, as Brian Shalhavi points out in healthimpact.com, on the other side you've got somebody of real integrity like Dr. Andrew Wakefield.
	It was because he warned his people because he spoke out about it.
	He has had his medical license removed.
	His family, he came from a family of physicians.
	He took it very seriously.
	Anybody, you know, you see this over and over again.
	The police officers who did not want to arrest people or harass them because of the masks, because of lockdown violations and things, they're fired.
	You have the people who warn people about these things, they're fired over and over again.
	The people in the military who say, I have...
	I have principles.
	I'm not going to violate them.
	And also, this is a violation of the Constitution for you to force this on me.
	And I'm here.
	I took an oath to defend the Constitution.
	Those people are purged out.
	The military purged out.
	The police purged out.
	The doctors purged out.
	They come after the nurses for this kind of stuff.
	Yeah, the people who have real integrity, like Dr. Wakefield.
	He disappears.
	He did a movie about 1986 about...
	You know, Fauci getting that legal immunity and why that would happen.
	I mean, he's out there doing everything he can.
	Very, very credible person.
	I enjoyed interviewing him.
	He sounds like Richard Burton, amazingly.
	But he's got an amazing voice.
	He should do voiceovers if he's still looking for work.
	But, you know, again, completely took his career.
	But he's a person with integrity, unlike these other people.
	Unlike, by the way, Dr. Peter McCullough.
	We're going to come back and talk about that.
	Thank you.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	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.

	It's not just a trinket, but a statement, a declaration.
	A way to show you refuse to be controlled by the establishment.

	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, let's talk about this bird flu stuff and what I had to say about McCullough.
	And, you know, on the contrary, there are people that you can trust.
	I saw this on Dr. Jane Ruby on her Twitter account.
	And this was there.
	She put this up and said, if you're getting chickens, and it turns out that we were about to get some chickens.
	This is a sign from Tractor Supply.
	And it says, all poultry sold at Tractor Supply comes from avian, influenza clean, polarum, typhoid clean, and salmonella monitored hatcheries.
	Tractor Supply sources chickens from trusted hatcheries that follow USDA. Uh-oh, stop right there.
	Stop right there.
	So I said to Karen, I said, better call these people.
	We're going to go down and get this stuff from them.
	I said, call them and see if these new chicks that came in.
	They had some Rhode Island Reds.
	We had a lot of luck with our Rhode Island Reds, although we just had one of them attacked by a hawk, and one of them was killed by our little dog last week.
	So let's get some more of that, because I tell you, the rooster is huge.
	Unbelievably big.
	And he's really...
	Good.
	He's not ever attacked or threatened to attack us either.
	So I had one rooster, several hens, and you never know when you get them, you know, what they're going to turn into.
	But anyway, he'll get between us and the girls sometimes and protect them, and he'll pull them back.
	He's very protective of them, but he doesn't threaten us.
	Anyway, we like the Rhode Island Reds.
	We have some others that are different.
	One of them is kind of a mixed breed.
	But they're pretty good, so we wanted to get some more of those, but said, let's call them and see if they've been vaccinated.
	And so the lady got on the phone, and Karen waited while she called, and she comes back and she says, oh, I'm sorry, they are not vaccinated.
	She goes, good, that's what I didn't want to vaccinate.
	She thought that we were called, so that was a double confirmation.
	She's not telling us what we wanted to hear, because she thought we wanted to hear that they were vaccinated.
	And I found out the name of the farm, and Karen's going to call them and say, thank you for not vaccinating them.
	I want to keep this free.
	And it had something like Faith in the...
	Faithway.
	Faithway.
	It was a farm or something that they got it from.
	And so I wanted to thank them, but I also wanted to thank Jane Ruby for getting us to think about that and ask about that.
	That post that she had.
	Somebody said, yeah, you know, it was a tractor supply that I got that chicken feed.
	As soon as I started giving it to my birds, they stopped laying.
	And then when I got off of it, they started laying again.
	So be careful when you deal with these corporations.
	But, you know, there's some people that you can trust.
	Jane Ruby, Shannon Joy, and of course, Guard Goldsmith, Jason Barker, Angry Tiger.
	These are people who are honest with you.
	They do research and they're going to tell you really what is there.
	They don't have an agenda.
	They're not there to influence you for Trump or a political party or this or that.
	So just keep that in mind.
	As I said before, this whole ma-ha thing has turned into a ha-ha joke.
	And one of the people who is a big joke now, in my opinion, is Dr. Peter McCullough.
	This is an ad that he's putting out all the time by the wellness company.
	Dr. McCullough warns that we could be on the cusp of outbreaks.
	A new, more deadly H5N1, that's bird flu, variant, he says, has been discovered and is now linked to at least two deaths.
	You see how he's running to these, jumping, pushing fear?
	And just like Alex Jones, he used to tell you the truth about this stuff, and then when it's Trump, and when he can make some money, Alex Jones pushes fear about the pandemic and tells you that the vaccine is safe.
	Now, McCullough's not telling you the vaccine is safe, but he's pushing fear, and he's laying the groundwork with all this gain-of-function nonsense.
	He's giving these people an alibi.
	To say that there was a pandemic when there wasn't a pandemic.
	And he's laying the foundation for something else that's coming.
	And he's already telling you that it's already here.
	In that picture.
	Let's pull that picture back up.
	Look at that.
	It's a guy there.
	It's like a TV set.
	It says, news, news.
	Which is all phony.
	And then behind him are all of these red spots all over the world.
	And it says, bird flu outbreak spreads.
	Breaking news.
	Health officials issue urgent warning.
	This is all nonsense.
	It's all nonsense.
	It's all Photoshop, AI garbage.
	But this is the, when you click on his ads, this is what he says, what I just read to you.
	He says, we could be on the cusp of outbreaks in man with severe disease and human-to-human transition.
	That's totally BS. Total BS. Hair on fire fear-mongering from Dr. Peter McCullough.
	Dr. McCullough is also warning that more variants are likely and that the risk to humans is accelerating.
	Given the widespread infections in mammals and migratory waterfowl, stop right there.
	Prove it.
	Prove it!
	Do you see dead mammals?
	Do you see dead birds?
	These migratory waterfowls, that's why I had geesebusters on last week.
	That's not happening.
	That's not happening.
	You don't see it anywhere.
	Do you see millions of dead migratory birds?
	No, I don't see any.
	I wish these hawks would catch it.
	Further viral adaptation via spontaneous mutation.
	This is all fiction, folks.
	Look, I don't even believe in viruses anymore or contagion.
	This is all just a happy story.
	Prove it.
	They don't have proof for any of this stuff.
	They don't have proof for the viruses even.
	If you can't...
	Show it to me.
	If you can't isolate it, if you can't say, here's a person who's got these symptoms, and look, we tested them versus these other people, and we found a whole bunch of this substance there.
	We're going to call it a virus.
	They didn't do any of that.
	They never do any of that.
	This is just nonsense.
	He goes on to say, culling phlox isn't working.
	No joke.
	Oh, so we need a new jab, right?
	He says, replacement flocks are likely to be reinfected by migratory waterfowl.
	Still selling that lie.
	This is Peter McCullough.
	Perpetuating the cycle of transmission and viral adaptation without evolving herd immunity.
	Culling is dangerous to workers.
	You kill these birds, you could catch the bird flu yourself.
	I got the cooties.
	Help me, help me.
	And then he says, human vaccines won't work.
	Yeah, no doubt.
	We've seen that proven over and over again.
	That's the one thing that has been proven.
	The lies here are just stunning.
	And all this boils down to, so buy my stuff.
	Be afraid and buy my stuff.
	That's what Alex was doing.
	That's what Dr. Peter McCullough is doing now.
	He says, mass animal vaccination isn't viable.
	Oh, yes, it is viable and it is profitable.
	And that's what they're going to do.
	He said it's not going to work for the stated purposes, but he says there's a study, and this study highlights how extensive vaccination in poultry has been linked to increased viral evolution.
	Well, I don't believe in evolution, and I don't believe in viruses, so try a little bit harder.
	It's just fear and more fear everywhere you look from these people.
	By the way, somebody had put under Dr. Jane Ruby's Post there.
	I put this up.
	This is...
	Yeah, don't laugh.
	It's the bird flu that I've got.
	And it's one of 666 symptoms.
	And it's actually 33 times scarier.
	It's Nicolas Cage with an extended head, and on the top of his head, there's no hair, but there is a bird there.
	So don't laugh.
	You know, what you're seeing here in front of me is actually one of 666 symptoms, and it's actually 33 times scarier than anything else.
	Well, he must be reading Dr. Peter McCullough.
	So, you know, bottom line, manage bird flu risk by buying my stuff.
	Buying my stuff.
	This is where the wellness company comes in.
	The wellness company is Contagion Emergency Kit, designed by Dr. Peter McCullough, who is lying to you and is going to start another one, laying the foundation for these lies.
	Absolutely reprehensible.
	Again, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, and Tamiflu, and especially that, you should check its efficacy and safety.
	All of this stuff.
	One more thing.
	We don't see birds dying everywhere, do we?
	And you know, I saw this story.
	Butterfly population is declining rapidly in the United States, with 22% disappearing in 20 years, says the study.
	Well, if they can measure the butterfly decline, can't they measure wild migratory bird decline?
	Well, no, and I wouldn't trust them anyway to do a study.
	But here's the thing.
	The canary in the coal mine has not died.
	The canary in the coal mine are the wild birds that are supposed to be carrying this stuff around.
	And that's one of the things that McCullough was saying.
	Do the biosecurity stuff.
	Even if you kill the birds, they're going to catch it again from the wild birds.
	Birds are not dying.
	They say, well, butterflies are dying.
	Researchers behind this study used data from more than 12.6 million butterflies, spanning 342 individual species, drawing from 76,000 surveys across 35 nationwide monitoring programs.
	Well, again.
	If they were to do this with birds, if they were to do it honestly, but we don't need them to do a study like that.
	We can see that they're not dying anyway.
	And then we have the usual suspects.
	China.
	China acknowledges, and this is coming from the Epoch Times, put out on Zero Hedge, China acknowledges, quote-unquote, sporadic human bird flu cases.
	Give me a break.
	These are the people who stage the collapsing people and all the rest of the stuff.
	But, of course, when they want to do it in the U.S., they stage things there.
	I recall when they said, well, we found somebody who tested positive for COVID-19, and they are being escorted into quarantine, and they had all of these people in hazmat suits carrying their luggage and furniture and all this other kind of stuff.
	It's like, what is going on with this stuff?
	It was all staged.
	All staged.
	Just like China was staging the people falling down in the streets and stuff.
	This is, folks, deja flu.
	That's what it really is.
	We've seen all of this stuff before.
	Don't be fooled by any of this.
	Valerie Ferguson says, my husband takes nanokinase instead of blood thinner.
	Yes, and I do too.
	But we were talking about...
	But yeah, that's a good one to take.
	Again, they gave me a prescription because I have AFib.
	That can create blood clots.
	And I get that like about once a month now.
	I have an attack that lasts for like a day.
	My heart starts fluttering and everything.
	I've had to stop the show here in the past early because of it.
	And so the real risk with the AFib stuff, besides your heart just stopping, is that you get a blood clot.
	And so the doctor gave me this prescription stuff, and I did my due diligence, and it's like, there's no way I'm taking that stuff.
	And then I had a friend who said, you know, take natokinase, and lumbrokinase is another one.
	And so there's a couple of different things that are out there that are based on, like one of them is based on, you know, earthworms or something like that.
	It's like a natural Chinese remedy that they've now put in a pill.
	So there's things like that that you can take.
	A Syrian girl.
	Xylitol is a nasal spray that reportedly has antivirus efficacy.
	If viruses are real, of course.
	That's what she said.
	Probably it's really sweet, too.
	But I don't know if you can tell about that in your nose.
	Jason Barker.
	Good to see you, Jason.
	He said, the reason we're seeing measles in the media is because of a new nasal vaccine.
	That's what she was talking about, that delivers COVID spike protein.
	Oh, there we go.
	But she was talking about xylitol as a nasal spray.
	He's talking about the new COVID spike protein.
	Yeah, you can get the mRNA now in spray form.
	Isn't that great?
	You can also, we'll be able to get it soon, in chicken's eggs.
	They always drum up fear after they make a new vaccine, and then they redirect people to other things.
	And you've got Robert Redfield out there.
	Trying to cover his tracks with that kind of stuff now.
	Trump's CDC director.
	But of course, he's still pushing the lies about the gain of function.
	Because this is their alibi.
	This is their get out of jail free card.
	They can say, it was the Chinese.
	It was the Wu flu in Wuhan.
	And it was real.
	We did everything we could.
	The stuff that we did.
	Okay, it didn't work.
	Yeah, okay, we killed some people, but we had to do it because it was real.
	It was gain-of-function stuff.
	And by the way, it's coming back again.
	Redfield's saying 50% of humans are going to die because it's going to evolve into humans.
	It's the same stuff as Peter McCullough.
	It's going to evolve to humans, and when it does, half of everybody that gets it is going to die.
	So go buy Peter McCullough's garbage.
	Freelane, RFKJ could at least have paused.
	The childhood vaccines until they can do the testing that he claims needs.
	Exactly.
	And that's why they're manufacturing this measles fear.
	That's why they're putting this out there forever.
	High boost, says David.
	Whoop, missed that.
	Okay, so that got erased somehow.
	We're going to take a quick break and just do a Command Z and he'll come back.
	We'll do 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, owe nothing.
	Be happy.
	You will own nothing.
	Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo.
	And be happy.
	Be happy and eat the bugs.
	They're doing what?
	In the place they named after me?
	Good thing I have the David Knight Show to keep me informed on the plots of these traitors.
	Making sense common again.
	This is the David Knight Show.
	All right, let's talk a little bit about Doge.
	I said earlier that from the very beginning, I knew this was going to be up to what happened in the courts.
	And everybody's popping corks and celebrating, look at this!
	Oh, look at how many people they've fired and all these waste that they've done and all the rest of this stuff.
	Well, they're clawing it all back.
	And it's the bureaucracy, it's the judiciary.
	I said they would have the final say unless Trump wants to challenge this idea of judicial supremacy.
	That remains to be seen, whether they're going to do that or not.
	So we've now had a U.S. judge order the Trump administration to pay A portion of the $2 billion in foreign aid that they stopped from USAID. Remember everybody talking about that?
	And yeah, we know what USAID is.
	We know that it's awful, horrible, that it's CIA doing these coups and all the rest of the stuff.
	So they said, all right, we're going to just stop it right now.
	And they said, no, you can't do that.
	And so this judge said, this is a complaint that was brought before this district court judge, federal judge.
	And he said they can't stop this and they can't stop it for work that was already done.
	So in other words, if you've got a contract, if you've got a grant and you tell them you do this, then we'll give it to you.
	That's a contract.
	They have to fulfill that contract is basically what he's saying.
	But then there's also the other issue, but does the executive have the ability to make these decisions or are these decisions going to be made by a judge?
	The U.S. judge on Thursday ordered the Trump administration to pay at least a portion of the $2 billion and owed foreign aid for previously completed projects by 6 p.m.
	So this is a contract issue.
	But, of course, it also has implications for the executive branch.
	We'll see that with some other cases.
	And so the Supreme Court rejected the Trump administration's request to continue to freeze these funds.
	And it was a 5-4 decision, and the MAGA people are furious with Amy Coney Barrett because she and John Roberts, I don't know why they're not furious with John Roberts, but they've decided that she's bad alone.
	I mean, John Roberts is always siding with the left on these decisions.
	And again, for the people who look at this as a decision about where the authority lies, Does it lie with the judiciary?
	Can they shut down what the executive branch is doing?
	The other approach is, well, this is about a contract, and they had fulfilled the terms of their side of the contract, and so you've got to pay them.
	As I said earlier, this is a district court judge.
	We have 677 judges in 94 different districts, and it only takes one to stop what the president's doing.
	I guess that's the minority report.
	He says, what I'll order today is the first concrete step that plaintiffs have their invoices paid for work completed prior to February the 13th.
	It has to be paid by 6 p.m.
	on Monday, March the 10th.
	Okay, this coming Monday.
	And his name is Ali, Judge Ali, stressed during the Thursday hearing yesterday that the February 26th deadline he previously set for the government to pay the $1.9 billion in foreign aid had passed.
	Now, he said the job given to him by the Supreme Court is to clarify the government's role in repayment instructions.
	He noted that he intends to take that very seriously.
	So, the 5-4 Supreme Court decision one day earlier remanded the case back to the D.C. federal court and to that judge in order to hash out the specifics of what had to be paid and when it had to be paid.
	A lawyer for the plaintiffs objected to the administration's breakneck review of the contracts and grants, arguing that they had one objective.
	And that was to terminate as many contracts as possible.
	Well, yes.
	And that's where the conflict comes here.
	At issue is the case of how quickly the Trump administration needed to pay the nearly $2 billion owed to aid groups and contractors for completed projects.
	Trump has stated plans to cut 90% of USAID foreign aid contracts and to slash an additional $60 billion in foreign aid spending.
	In a Supreme Court filing, Acting U.S. Solicitor General Sarah Harris said that while the plaintiff's claims were likely legitimate, that's her term.
	She said the time that Judge Ali gave them to pay the outstanding invoices was not logistically or technically feasible.
	But the plaintiffs disagreed.
	They said the Trump administration moved too quickly to dismantle the payment system required for foreign aid in the first place.
	The four judges who dissented, and that would be Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh, they wrote a very strong rejection of this, even saying, I am stunned, because they see this not as making good on a contract, but they see this as the executive branch.
	And the groups that are underneath need to be answerable to the executive, to the president.
	And so they lost five to four.
	They saw it as an issue of authority.
	They said this in the decision.
	Does a single district court judge, who likely lacks jurisdiction, Have the unchecked power to compel the government of the United States to pay out and probably lose forever $2 billion of taxpayer money?
	The answer to that question should be an emphatic no.
	But a majority of this court apparently thinks otherwise.
	I am stunned, they said in the court decision.
	Again, one of them, you know, I, one of them wrote this decision, but they all signed on to it, you know, but one of them writes it.
	They called it an act of judicial hubris.
	And again, we've seen a lot of that, haven't we?
	Judicial supremacy, I call it.
	The relief ordered is quite simply too extreme a response.
	A federal court has many tools to address a party's supposed nonfeasance.
	Self-aggrandizement of its jurisdiction is not one of them.
	So they see this as a jurisdictional issue, as a separation of powers issue.
	Again, this decision only affects completed work.
	It doesn't affect future freezes.
	But for work that had already been completed before February the 13th.
	They said the ruling does not permanently restore funding, but it creates a legal pathway, though, for future lawsuits if the government halts the disbursements unlawfully.
	Unlawfully halt?
	How do you...
	If you are the executive branch and everything under the executive branch is under you, how is halting something or starting something, how is that unlawful to do that?
	Well, the MAGA world has turned against Amy Coney Barrett, writes NBC. And it's true.
	They're very upset with her.
	These are the Trump sucker proxies.
	You know, people like D.C. Drano and Jack Posobiec and Laura Loomer and everything.
	You know, they're furious and they have decided to focus on her.
	But do they remember when right after she was put in?
	She supported lockdowns for churches?
	You know, she's wearing her Christianity on her sleeve and all the rest of the stuff, and yet she wanted to support lockdown for churches?
	This nominal Christian?
	Jack Posobian, as I said earlier, called her, just put out a thing, DEI judge.
	Well then, who was the DEI president that appointed her, Jack?
	Oh, that would be Trump.
	Laura Loomer, same thing.
	Amy Coney Barrett was a DEI appointee.
	Trump put in.
	She echoes him.
	And then they have a lot of people that are putting in.
	I'm sure you've seen it if you go on social media.
	You see the pictures at the speech that he gave where everybody is there.
	Both houses of Congress are there.
	Supreme Court is there.
	The joint session.
	And as he's going around shaking hands, she gives him this sideways glance and kind of a sneer on her face.
	It did look like she was dissing him, but who knows?
	Who knows?
	Maybe.
	You know, she had some indigestion or something.
	But again, they aren't having any of that.
	They're very upset about that.
	Now we've got another judge.
	This one appointed by Obama.
	I don't know who appointed the other guy.
	This is something that just came out yesterday.
	He has indefinitely blocked Trump's freeze on federal grants and loans in a Thursday ruling.
	That's yesterday.
	John McConnell Jr. and Obama appointee prohibited the Trump administration from freezing or otherwise impeding the disbursement of appropriated federal funds.
	Now, this is clearly wrong.
	I mean, you know, the other one I can see could go both ways.
	You know, you could look at it and say, well, this is, you told them to do this and you'll pay them.
	You got a contract.
	You need to abide by your contract.
	This, however, is saying that, well, if Congress has appropriated the money for something, you've got to spend it.
	No, I don't think so.
	I don't think so at all.
	I think this guy has really overstepped this.
	And let me tell you why.
	Real simple.
	Did he ever have a problem with the guy who appointed him Obama telling people, hey, if you don't put boys in the girls' bathroom, I'm going to withhold this, what is it, Title IX, Title X funding or something from you, right?
	Well, that was money that was appropriate by Congress.
	And Obama says he's not going to do it.
	And of course, Trump has said the same thing in the other direction.
	And I use that example all the time when I try to explain to the MAGA people why Trump was responsible, why the buck stops with him and starts with him on all of the lockdown stuff.
	And I think because he's given the money to Congress.
	And if he doesn't like what they're doing, he's going to pull the money away.
	And that's what he, Trump has now said that many, many times.
	But MAGA people don't want to hear it.
	But the reality is that this Obama judge has, in terms of blocking Trump freezing this stuff, he's ignoring the fact that Obama said, I'm going to withhold, and they all do it.
	Biden did it.
	Obama, Trump, all of them do it.
	That's the power that they have.
	The Ninth and Tenth Amendment stopped them from doing most of the stuff that they want to do.
	So they use money, and they use either giving you money or taking money away from you to get you to do what they don't have the legal authority to do because of the Tenth Amendment.
	And so Obama has already done that.
	And so how does this guy have a case?
	Well, he doesn't have a case.
	He is an activist judge.
	And so you have these articles.
	This was written by Zero Hedge and say, well, he was active and very active in Democrat politics before he was appointed by Obama.
	Guess what?
	Is this news to Zero Hedge that all of these judges are political appointees?
	They're all political appointees.
	That's the problem with the system.
	They're political appointees.
	There's nearly 700 of them, and any one of them can flex his political muscle and override what the president wants to do.
	That's a big problem.
	And this is, you know, and as I said before, I said, Trump may play to his audience and say, I want to do this, I want to do that, just like you did with DACA, and then say, but the judiciary wouldn't let me.
	I tried, but they wouldn't let me.
	And we'll see whether or not he's going to fight any of this stuff.
	So this ruling came after 22 Democrat states in the District of Columbia filed a lawsuit that challenged a directive from the White House directing them to stop these contracts.
	And now we look at the pullbacks of the people who were allegedly fired.
	USDA, for example.
	More than 5,000 fired USDA employees just got their jobs back.
	Because of a bureaucratic board, the Merit Systems Protection Board.
	And so, and the amazing thing to me about this is that this is affecting people who were probationary hires.
	You know, they're on probation period, so you can fire them for basically any reason, right?
	And they said, no, you did it too quickly, or whatever, whatever their excuse is, and so they're going to claw this stuff back.
	All these federal staffers, 5,000 are probationary employees or people who have generally been in their jobs for a year or less.
	So they're saying that, you know, you can't even fire these probationary people.
	So what have they got?
	They got people who took the buyout, people who are going to retire anyway, or some of the people who took the buyout.
	And this board is reinstating these 5,000 USDA employees that were fired by Trump.
	Elon Musk is now saying that Amtrak and the U.S. Postal Service should be privatized.
	Well, let's not stop there.
	Let's go to the CDC. Let's go to the Federal Reserve and these other quasi-weird things.
	I don't really know what their status is.
	The government is still funding them, but they created a company for both the U.S. Postal Service as well as Amtrak.
	So they're neither fish nor fowl.
	We've got a lot of different agencies that are like that.
	And so the Postal Service came back and says, well, we will fight like hell to protect it.
	That's right, you better not get Newman mad.
	From Seinfeld.
	Remember Wayne Knight?
	He's like, the U.S. Postal Service, we're going to...
	Trump has previously suggested...
	That the U.S. Postal Service could be privatized, a move that would allow for more flexibility in pricing and labor negotiations, is also repeatedly pushed to cut Amtrak's federal funding, which totaled approximately $2.4 billion last year.
	Look, I'm all for cutting back government.
	I'm all for running things like a business and all the rest of this stuff, these services.
	I mean, you know, but the reality is that for the most part, this is a pageant.
	It's a show.
	And it's all going to come down to these different lawsuits.
	A new filing again.
	Another lawsuit coming after Doge itself.
	And this was a lawsuit that had already been filed, but now it has gotten new strength after, you know, they played this game of, you know, Trump keeps saying that Elon Musk is in charge of Doge.
	And then they said, no, he's not.
	He's not even an employee of them.
	He's not the head of it.
	That was the official legal position.
	They said, yeah, Trump misspoke or whatever.
	Well, he did it again with his speech at the joint session.
	He said, to further combat inflation, we will not only be reducing the cost of energy, but we'll be ending the flagrant waste of taxpayer dollars.
	And to that end, I have created the brand new Department of Government Efficiency, Doge.
	Perhaps you've heard of it.
	And then he talks about the fact, he says, and I didn't need this, Trump says, of Musk.
	He said he didn't need this.
	He said that Musk is working very hard in all of this and basically put him up.
	He said it's headed by Elon Musk, who is in the gallery tonight.
	And so these people who filed a lawsuit said, wait a minute, you know, what is his status that is there?
	Well, don't worry about it.
	He's not officially in Doge, and he's not leading it.
	And then Trump says this at the speech.
	Formerly, the White House last week had announced that Amy Gleason, As the acting administrator of Doge.
	And a recent court filing from the Office of Administration states that Musk is a senior advisor to the president.
	He has no authority to make government decisions.
	And he is not an employee even of Doge, let alone the leader.
	And yet Trump says it again.
	And so now these people have gone back before the judge and said, he said it again.
	And so this lawsuit says that Doge lacks transparency.
	Little is known publicly about its structure or its membership.
	All that is true.
	They contend that DOGE is in violation of the FACA because not a single member of DOGE is a federal employee or represents due perspective of federal employees despite the evidence that DOGE intends to provide recommendations regarding federal employment practices and ways to reduce the size of the federal workforce.
	Again, what are they going to do to fight the bureaucracy of the judiciary to get any of this stuff through?
	They've also asked the court to declare Doge is, quote, not properly constituted, that any report or recommendation made by the advisory body does not reflect the views of the lawfully constituted advisory committee.
	So Trump had a meeting, and he brings all the cabinet people in, and he is telling them that don't pay any attention to these directives that Musk has put out in terms of, you know, tell me five things you did last week or you're fired.
	Yeah, that type of thing.
	I need your weekly progress report.
	He also tells, according to Politico, he tells Elon Musk that he has no authority to fire government workers.
	This is all part of this lawsuit.
	So Politico reports that Trump convened a cabinet meeting on Thursday in which he told his cabinet secretaries that they, and not Musk, had the final say over whether to terminate federal workers in their department.
	Do we have Gerald on yet?
	Okay, all right.
	The president's message represents the first significant move.
	According to Trump's new guidance, Doge and its staff should play an advisory role.
	Well, they're even fighting that in that lawsuit.
	But cabinet secretaries should make the final decisions on personnel policy and the pacing.
	Musk, for his part, indicated at the meeting that he was fully on board with the new guidance.
	So when we look at this, understand that...
	All of this chaos, all of this pageant, none of it is as it seems.
	The devil is in the details, and the details are going to still be emerging.
	And while the devil's in some of the details in terms of what is happening with this Panama situation, as I said, is it supposed to be a victory that Trump turned this over to BlackRock?
	And when you look at BlackRock's role in all of this, BlackRock started accumulating positions in this company, C.K. Hutchinson, that's out of Hong Kong.
	They started accumulating positions there in December, this last December.
	There's a lot of different companies that had positions in BlackRock, multiple ones, like different jurisdictional manifestations, I guess we could say, of J.P. Morgan or of Deutsche Bank.
	But BlackRock, BlackRock Island, Bought in on the 11th of December, 2024. Bought shares into C.K. Hutchinson Holdings, this Hong Kong company.
	And so that was Black Rock Island.
	Then on the same day, Black Rock, France.
	The same day, Black Rock, Institutional.
	Same day, Black Rock, North America.
	The same day, Black Rock, Switzerland.
	So, five of them on the same day.
	11th of December, this last 11th of December.
	Now, JP Morgan did the same thing back in 2019. They had five different subsidiaries, I guess, of JP Morgan that did it back in 2019. And Deutsche Bank, same thing back in 2008. They had three subsidiaries that buy into it.
	So it's not uncommon that they got all these different subsidiaries.
	But notice the date.
	And that's what I said.
	And we're going to talk to Gerald Slenty about all the stuff that's happening.
	I'm curious to see what he thinks about this.
	I think this is, you know, BlackRock has been pushing the CSG stuff and everything.
	As a conspiracy theorist, I would say that everybody immediately coming to heel on Trump with the DEI stuff, I would assume that that was kind of worked out with BlackRock and Trump.
	Because they start buying into this in the beginning of December, after the election and before this happens.
	And right about the time that Trump starts saying, we're going to take over Panama.
	Imagine that.
	Either that or maybe just BlackRock.
	Gave some money to Trump, and maybe he owes them a favor.
	We're going to take a quick break, and we're going to connect with Gerald Salenti, and so we will be right back, folks.
	folks, stay with us.
	ORCHESTRA PLAYS
	In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	All right, and joining us now is Gerald Salente.
	Always a pleasure to have him on and to see what he thinks.
	He has a great track record as a discerner of trends.
	And it's pretty hard to tell, as he said last time, Trump is a wild card.
	He is absolutely wild.
	It's chaotic.
	It's back and forth and back and forth.
	You know, just on the tariff issues and things like that and what's going on with Panama.
	Always great to have Gerald on.
	Again, you can find his publication.
	It's a weekly publication, Trends Journal.
	You can save 10% off with the code KNIGHT, and he has a wealth of information.
	It's not fluff.
	It's not, you know, entertainment news about what's happening in Hollywood or whatever.
	This is real news about what's happening in financial markets as well as what is happening geopolitically.
	It's always great to have you on, Gerald.
	Thanks for coming on.
	Oh, thanks for having me.
	Thank you.
	And, yeah, the Trends Journal, by the way, it's $2, and when you get it from night, $2.50 a week.
	Nothing.
	And this week's was 219 pages.
	People say, I can't read 219 pages.
	You read what you want.
	It's a magazine.
	Geopolitics, economics, socioeconomics, high-tech science, AI, technocracy.
	We cover the world.
	And what we do, for example, like the Israel war going on, we subscribe to Ha Ha That's the Israeli newspaper.
	We pay to go on to it.
	We also go to Jerusalem Post, Times of Israel.
	What do you have to say?
	We go to IRNA, ISNA, Press TV, Tehran Times, want to hear what the Iranians have to say.
	Go to Al Jazeera, go to Arab News, Middle East Monitor.
	We want to hear what the Arabs have to say.
	We go to DW, we go to Euronews, want to hear what the Europeans have to say.
	We go to the American media, and then we say this is what they're saying.
	This is our analysis.
	This is where we see it going.
	Other than people with little minds the size of a pea, I like Fox because Fox likes Trump.
	They hate Fox.
	I go to MSNBC. I want to listen to their crap.
	How could people call themselves Republicans, Democrats, conservatives, liberals?
	How about having an open mind and calling yourself a political atheist and just looking at facts for what they are?
	That's right.
	That's right.
	That's what I've always done.
	I hated Time and Newsweek.
	I've said this many times.
	Oh, well, they're supposedly objective.
	No, they're not.
	I'd much rather go to an opinion piece like National Review.
	And the nation.
	Find out what they're saying.
	They're diametrically opposed to each other.
	Hear their arguments about what they're saying, and then make up my mind.
	And that's what you do with Trends Journal.
	Exactly.
	And I have to tell you that, you know, the more subscribers we get, the more positive the prospects for change.
	I've been at this...
	You know, my books, best-selling books, Trends 2000, Trend Tracking, on and on.
	I've been at this 45 years.
	Never before in my life have I seen such a volatile presidential time.
	Never, ever.
	And never a better time for a new third party.
	I wasted two hours of my life watching that Trump do his...
	By the way, we own the trademark.
	Presidential reality show.
	You actually watched that.
	Two hours of his spewing out crap and bringing out all these people to show the great things he did.
	And the stupid little gutless little Democrats over there.
	Holding up signs.
	Yeah.
	Now, bro.
	I know.
	It is pathetic.
	Never been a better time because if there wasn't Trump, there'd be no Republicans.
	Again, As I'm watching this thing, I'm seeing that little jerk, Mike Johnson, with the Vance next to him, standing behind him.
	It's a freak show.
	A little clown show with Trump in front of him.
	A freak show in front of everybody's eyes.
	So the slime ball, not one word, in the two hours about the genocide being committed, By the United States, stealing our money, another $4 billion, to keep slaughtering the Palestinians, bombing Gaza into ruin.
	Oh, Israel bombing Syria, taking control of more of their land.
	We can't have terrorists in our territory!
	It's not your territory!
	It's stolen land!
	Oh, violation of the Geneva Convention, Article 242 of the United Nations.
	Oh, no, no, we're settlers.
	No, you're not.
	You're colonists.
	Driving out 40,000.
	I'm in Kingston.
	You've been up here.
	23,000 people.
	I'm thinking to myself, they just threw 40,000 Palestinians out of their homes in the West Bank that Israel has illegally invaded since 1967. Hardly a word in the major media.
	Nothing.
	Nothing.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, and now how tough Trump is.
	Hey, if you don't bring back them hostages, you're going to pay for this.
	Hey, how about, oh, you don't call the hostages the thousands, the tens of thousands of Palestinians that you put into prison for nothing.
	Oh, they're not hostages, they're prisoners.
	Oh, and that little jerk, that little jerk, a little clown of nothing, a little moron of a scum.
	Rubio, oh yeah, he goes with the cross on his, the ashes on his thing, telling him, oh, how upset Trump is, he's on Fox, about, oh, every time he sees these pictures of the hostages, oh, how terrible.
	Hey, how about the Palestinians whose homes have been bombed to ruin?
	How about them, how about all these little kids that got their arms blown off, heads blown off, dead?
	How about the hundreds of thousands according to the numbers that have been killed?
	How about the two million people that have nowhere to live anymore?
	Hell with them!
	We don't care about them!
	Well, you get these dueling atrocities, you know, people will say, well, look at the mob, cut the heads off of these, whether that happened or not.
	It did happen.
	Yeah, you got the fog of war, but you also got this back and forth, and the issue is that they don't want to stop it.
	You know, I talked about what a just war is.
	A just war is when you're attacked, okay?
	Well, did they invite the attack and that type of thing?
	But if you come after civilians and you do it relentlessly, you get to the point, I talked this last week about, I said, you know, Look at Robert E. Lee, for example, right?
	He could have continued that war indefinitely, but when you get to a point where you don't have any possible way that you're going to win something other than you're just extending this because...
	You know, you're going to wind up just killing people for no purpose at all.
	And if what Israel is saying is that, well, we've got to keep attacking because we haven't gotten to Hamas yet, well, then that says that your strategy isn't working and that you can keep doing this forever.
	And if that's really what you want to do is to get Hamas, then you're just going to keep killing civilians.
	So it's not justified from that standpoint.
	But I think we're all seeing what they really want is to get everybody out, as Trump made it very clear.
	We want to set up a resort here.
	So it really is about the money.
	It's not even about getting Hamas.
	But even if it was about getting Hamas, it still wouldn't be justified because they're not able to get Hamas.
	They're just killing civilians.
	And so it's not justified.
	No.
	And look what they're doing in the West Bank.
	They have no right being there.
	It's in violation of the Geneva Convention and UN Article 242. They are colonist invaders.
	And I'm tired of hearing this crap that God said to Abraham 3,500 years ago that this land is your land.
	Does God have locked you since 3,500 years ago?
	Come on, hey God, come on down and say this land belongs to them.
	I don't want to hear this fairy tale.
	And these are all Eastern Europeans.
	They're Ashkenazis.
	A-S-H. K-E-N-A-Z-I. Ashka Nazis.
	That did not convert to Judaism into what?
	About 1100 A.D.? They're not Semites!
	The Palestinians are Semites.
	Mesopotamia region, those are Semites.
	So don't call me an anti-Semite.
	Oh, what's Netanyahu's real name?
	Oh, Milikowski?
	I forgot.
	Oh, what was Ben-Gurion's real name?
	Oh, Green.
	These are invaders.
	They are Eastern European invaders from Russia, from Ukraine.
	Ashkenazis, Khazars.
	And they're making up this fairy tale.
	I've had it.
	I've had it.
	Oh, and how about that jerk?
	Again, these are all daddy's boys.
	I can't stand the crap spewing out of RFK Jr.'s mouth last week.
	Did you hear about that?
	Oh, this week.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah, it's a health issue if you criticize a foreign government's policies.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, it's a health issue.
	Yeah, yeah.
	How terrible it is.
	And you're an anti-Semite.
	Oh, you talk.
	A little daddy's boy.
	A little drugged-out daddy's boy.
	You'd be nobody, man, if your name wasn't Kennedy.
	Just like that little Georgie Bush.
	A little boy with a pair of cojones smaller than a mothball.
	My daddy was George Bush.
	My grandpa was Prescott Bush.
	Oh, you're the guy that did the deal with the Nazis?
	Oh, the Kennedys that used to do the dirty deals bringing booze from Canada during the...
	Oh, that crime syndicate?
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, and Trump!
	You know, I had lunch with his brother, Robert, back in 2017. At a restaurant over here in Wasaac, across the river.
	He goes on to tell me that when the father died, I think the father died in 2002, he left the family over a half a billion dollars worth of real estate.
	That was back, what, 20 years ago?
	How much is that real estate worth now?
	Trump is nothing more than a little...
	Spoiled Daddy's Boy.
	All these people are little spoiled Daddy's Boy, and it's one big club.
	Oh, you're talking about Black Rock.
	Oh, what's the guy that runs Fink?
	Fink!
	A Fink!
	Rad Fink, yeah.
	Yep.
	And again, when you and I were young men, there were no venture capitalists.
	There were no hedge funds.
	Don't know private equity groups that now own everything.
	BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street own 88% of the S&P 500. Three companies, 88%.
	It's a crime syndicate.
	Look at the billionaires and the Trump club.
	If you're not a rich person, shut your damn mouth.
	You have no right in this country.
	And that's all he wants now.
	I mean, if you've got $5 million to pay me, you get the gold card and you get to come in.
	And he's going to give them special benefits, too, that American citizens don't have.
	I mean, they won't have to pay taxes on income that they earn outside of the United States.
	Well, Americans have to pay taxes on income that they earn outside of the U.S. But these people come in and buy this favor with Trump.
	Won't have to do that.
	Yeah, they're looking to, you know, bring in more super elites to hang around with them.
	Maybe they get a discount off of Mar-a-Lago membership or something, right?
	But that really is truly the case.
	What do you think about this Bitcoin Reserve thing that they're going to announce today?
	You know, when we looked at Bitcoin in the past, you know, he surprised everybody.
	Again, so unpredictable, as you point out, he's a wild card.
	He comes out with these three different cryptocurrencies that are really about processing transactions.
	They're highly centralized.
	They're not at all like Bitcoin.
	And everybody says, whoa, wait a minute, what happened about Bitcoin?
	And oh yeah, Bitcoin will be the heart of it, you know, along with Ethereum.
	But these other three that are out there, these are mostly owned, you know, highly centralized and owned by the...
	These companies, they're for doing transactions.
	What is your read on this?
	Is this just crony capitalism and corruption?
	Or is there something that he's planning with the Bitcoin Reserve?
	What do you think?
	I don't know what they're planning, but it's definitely crony capitalism and corruption.
	Every time that they do something, you think the team's betting on what they're going to do and they know what they're going to be doing next.
	And they're going to make up something.
	They're going to make up something to...
	Look at the equity markets.
	The Nasdaq is in correction territory.
	It's down over 10% from its high.
	They're going to do everything they can to jack it up and make as much money as they can in any way that they can.
	Look at this little...
	Again, here.
	And, you know, when you talk about the whiplash stuff, you know, where the tariffs are on and tariffs are off again, all these guys like Lutnik, they know that the way they make money is by making the market go way up and go way down.
	They make money off of that volatility.
	And so if you look at this administration as really just being kind of a, you know, robber barons, okay, then the chaos and everything really kind of makes sense from a corruption standpoint.
	It is how Trump has always operated, of course, as a As a personality as well, but it also makes sense from a corruption standpoint.
	I'm telling you, they know what they're going to be doing and they play the markets on it.
	They play the game on it.
	They may come up with Bitcoin or something.
	They're going to do everything they can to try to get rid of the debt level that they have.
	They're going to do it and they'll make up something.
	This Bitcoin is worth this.
	We've got all this money we did away with the debt.
	As I said, how about the BS that we're going to go into Fort Knox?
	Yeah, exactly.
	I wonder what they're trying to pull in terms of public opinion and public fear and everything with that.
	And it is just a show.
	I've compared it to Geraldo Rivera going into Al Capone's vault.
	It's going to be a show.
	There's nothing going to come out of it.
	Look at the pieces of jerk.
	Look at that.
	How about a piece of stupid, arrogant crap?
	Look at the jerks out there.
	That they call the media.
	So going back to Fort Knox, yeah, we're going to go in there.
	They know exactly what's in there.
	They know exactly what's in there.
	And we wouldn't know anyway if they went in.
	I mean, we're going to see some pictures of some shiny gold stuff.
	They know what's in there.
	They're making a show.
	So here's one of the things that I suggest might happen.
	If I told her a story, it cut me off.
	When I was a young kid, I'm about 17 years old, and my father, may he rest in peace, tells me this story out of nowhere.
	You know, when your grandfather said, I was dating your mother in 1933. They got married in 1934. I go to your grandfather's house, and he's wrapping up all his gold coins.
	He had a load of gold coins.
	Oh, yeah.
	You did tell this story.
	Yeah, you did.
	Yeah.
	And so it's pretty amazing.
	As a matter of fact, I talked to Tony yesterday, and he said somebody, I think it was Rickards, went back and looked at it, and he said they saw that they claimed that there was way more gold that they had at the time than they actually did.
	So FDR, the certificates that he's putting there for the money, They inflated it by 70%.
	They turned it in.
	My grandfather and the people that gave it back, they got like $20 and something cents an ounce.
	The next year, they passed the Gold Reserve Act, 1934, and they raised the price to $35 an ounce.
	And then they changed the number of ounces that they had.
	I mean, if that wasn't bad enough, they changed the number of ounces that they had.
	They lie about everything, don't they?
	I just saw that Lutnik is talking about how they're going to come up with a different calculation for GDP. I think that's pretty ominous.
	Yeah, I think that's pretty ominous because that means that he expects that GDP is going to be going in the wrong direction, doesn't it?
	That's right.
	We talked about that yesterday in my podcast.
	So going back, they're going to say that they got more gold than they have.
	They're going to raise the price of gold.
	They did it before, and they're going to do it again.
	That's my bet.
	Let me ask you about the Sovereign Wealth Fund, because that's another thing that's been thrown out there.
	And you've had both Lutnik and Besant and the thing with Trump talking about the fact they wanted to put the U.S.'s assets to work.
	A lot of people believe that that's going to be...
	Public land that the federal government claims that they own, but they don't constitutionally really have a legal right to own land except for forts and ports.
	But the bottom line is that there's a lot of public land, and I think that's something else that they'd like to sell to foreigners or whatever that they would like to liquidate.
	You had Doug Burgum, the former governor of North Dakota, who's now the interior secretary, said in confirmation hearings, he said, yeah, we got like $200 trillion worth of land in this country, and we're going to put those assets to work.
	Same thing.
	Is that what you think they're going to do with this sovereign wealth fund?
	Because that's a little bit different thing than the Bitcoin thing.
	You think they're going to try to do a land grab or auction off the land to foreign investors?
	What do you think is up with that?
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	They're going to come up with anything.
	It's a wild card.
	Again, look at who can get away with this.
	When I get elected, my first day in office, I'm going to put a 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada.
	First day in office?
	I'm going to wait until February 1st.
	February 1st comes?
	Put the tariffs on.
	February 3rd comes?
	I'm taking them off.
	I'm going to put them on on March 4th.
	March 4th comes?
	He puts them on.
	We're going to change the tariffs.
	I'm not going to do it as much as I said we would.
	I mean, who can get away with this crap?
	And I'll tell you who can get away with it.
	A guy that lies right in front of your face.
	Again, I wasted two hours of my life watching that BS thing that he did to Congress the other day.
	And here's one of the things that he said.
	That when he was president, quote, we had the most successful economy, you ready?
	In the history of the country.
	Yeah.
	That's why I don't watch these things.
	No, I gotta watch them.
	Because I'm a trend forecaster, I need the facts.
	Lying in front of everybody's eyes, not one person, none of the media.
	So I looked up the numbers, right?
	The GDP grew 2.8% from 2017 to 2021. When he was president.
	You know how much it grew under Biden?
	3.2%.
	Under Jerry Ford, 5.4%.
	Under JFK, 5.2%.
	It keeps going on.
	You're not even close here.
	And of course they'll say, well, it was COVID that did to him.
	But he was the one who came up with the lockdown stuff and everything.
	And of course we now know COVID wasn't real.
	But that really was his responsibility.
	It wasn't something that China did to him.
	I'm sorry, go ahead with the next metric that's there.
	No, the other one was the stock markets did go up.
	It went up pretty good during his thing.
	Oh, you remember that December 2018 was the worst?
	Dow, since the Great Depression, 1931. And what did he do?
	He forced Powell to lower interest rates than he did in January.
	Artificially propping up the markets.
	Remember the repo crisis that you and I talked about as it was going on.
	That's right.
	Yeah.
	And again, it wasn't the best one.
	It was much higher under Bill Clinton.
	The equity markets.
	But he throws out the lie.
	One lie after another.
	Yeah.
	And the people swallow it.
	And that thing was nothing more than a promo of all he talked about was all of the illegal aliens coming in.
	Yeah, that's great.
	I'm totally supportive of that.
	Great.
	But you've got to go on for how long?
	Yeah.
	How long I've got to hear about this?
	Yeah.
	Oh, I agree.
	I agree.
	Yeah, when I look at those things...
	I try not to watch him live, and I try to get it after the fact so I can just get a transcript and then do word searches for it.
	What did he say about this or that, or did he even mention this type of thing, you know?
	Because it is always just excruciatingly slow, especially when you're watching it live.
	You can't even make him go, like, at two times speed, you know?
	Again, it's a reality show.
	Yeah, it is.
	It is.
	That's what it is.
	That's all it was.
	He was still doing his show.
	Well, you know the thing that surprises me, Gerald, is that he put in...
	The USMCA, which I'm not a fan of.
	I don't like NAFTA, and I didn't like USMCA, which he rebranded it just like he renamed the Gulf of Mexico.
	He renamed NAFTA and called it his own.
	But this latest pullback, first of all, it was the auto companies coming in and lobbying Lutnik, and so they said, oh, okay, okay, we'll pull back for you, and we'll give you another 30 days.
	But then the other stuff that they did was they pulled back and...
	They've got 38% of the goods going into Canada and 50% of the goods going into Mexico are protected by this trade agreement that Trump put together and signed and was so proud of.
	And he didn't remember this, of course, but nobody in his administration, all these supposedly great financial minds like Besant and Lutnik and everything, they were completely unaware that there was this treaty.
	And that if they violate this treaty, they get drugged before an arbitration court and they get thrown out.
	And so that's why they're pulling this stuff back.
	And in 30 days, none of that stuff is going to change.
	It's still lying about all this stuff.
	And again, what's making up this 30 days crap?
	I know, I know.
	It's just because he wants chaos, I guess.
	It's strange.
	They're arrogant people.
	They call it the guy Bessett.
	What's his name?
	Bessett?
	Scott Bessett, yeah.
	Soros' buddy, yeah.
	Right.
	Former Soros guy.
	You ready?
	Mm hmm.
	President Donald Trump's sanctions against Iran are designed to shut down the country's oil industry, quote, and collapse its already buckling economy.
	Treasury Secretary Scott Besant said yesterday.
	Mm hmm.
	Mm hmm.
	Mm-hmm.
	Sanctions against Iran aggressively, quote, for immediate maximum impact, Bessett told the Economic Club of New York.
	You mean the crime syndicate of New York, the Economic Club.
	Are they a sister branch of the World Economic Forum?
	I mean, it sounds like that, doesn't it?
	We are going to shut down Iran's oil sector.
	And drone manufacturing capabilities, end quote.
	Okay.
	What has Iran done to the United States?
	Better question is, what has the United States done to Iran?
	As we've talked about that going back to the 50s, it's incredible what's happened with that.
	Yeah, people have no idea.
	People have no idea of that little, no, again.
	George Carlin said, it's one big club and you ain't in it.
	What was his name?
	Kermit Roosevelt?
	Theodore Roosevelt?
	I'm not the grandson or son of a...
	Yeah.
	Oh, and Winston Churchill?
	A murderous piece of scum crap who people look up to?
	Again, the only newspaper that reported this in 2017 was the Financial Times when they finally released the CIA data.
	From 1953, 2017, how the CIA and the MI6 overthrew the democratically elected government of Mossadegh, Mohammed Mossadegh, in Iran in 1953 because he had the nerve to say,
	no, no, that oil belongs to the Iranian people, not Anglo-Iranian oil, better known today as BP. Or Standard Oil, better known today as ExxonMobil.
	So he was Iran first?
	How dare him be Iran first?
	They overthrew the government.
	They brought in the Savak, the secret police that murdered hundreds of thousands of Iranians.
	They made the SS look good.
	Yeah, I've said many times, I know students from Iran when I was in engineering, they were scared to death of the Savak.
	They protested what the Shah was doing, but they had, you know, the masks on and all the rest of this stuff, you know, and that's why I asked them about it.
	I said, what's going on?
	I've got a comment here from Cecilia14.
	She said, David, can you ask, Gerald, what the name of his book he showed last time about his Italian family?
	Would like to get it.
	Oh, my favorite.
	Yeah.
	What is that?
	I don't have a copy of it here.
	They just gave it to someone.
	What Zidzi Gave Honey Boy, Z-I-Z-I. What Zidzi Gave Honey Boy, a true story about love, wisdom, and the soul of America.
	And you can go to Trends Journal, you see the about, and you get it from there.
	Of everything I've written, that's my favorite.
	Good, yeah, get it there instead of Amazon.
	Go to Trends Journal.
	And unfortunately, it came out like the week before 9-11.
	So we didn't get any coverage on it.
	Again, my other one, talking about the Iranian conflict, my book, Trend Tracking, Far Better Than Megatrends, Time Magazine.
	That's how I became a trend forecaster.
	When little Jimmy Carter came back from Iran, spending New Year's Eve with the Shah and his wife, and said, the Shah is the island of stability in the Middle East.
	In the Bronx, we used to say, bullshit has its own sound, you know?
	And that's when I became a trend forecaster.
	Jimmy Carter, you know, that guy that everybody holds up as a moral standard, and he was standing there behind the Shah and Savak as all that stuff was happening.
	That's the way this stuff always goes out.
	Let's talk a little bit about Ukraine.
	You know, what do you think?
	I mean, since we last talked, there was that Oval Office...
	Fight back and forth that was happening there.
	And now the Trump administration has cut off the intelligence that, you know, basically what it showed was that what Putin was saying was true, that these long-range missile programs, he said, that has to be operated by American people, and it needs the satellites and all the rest of that stuff.
	And so now Trump has cut that off.
	And, you know, so what's your take on all this stuff?
	You know, you got the saber rattling of Macron and all the rest of these people.
	What's your take as to what's going to happen with that?
	First of all, I believe if Trump was president, the Ukraine war would long be over because he would not have sent all the money in that Joe Biden sent in.
	And as much as I can't stand Trump, if the Biden administration came back, it would just keep going more of the same and worse.
	This is just a different freak show.
	I agree.
	But I totally believe that Trump would not have sent that money, the hundreds of billions that Biden sent, and the war would have been over.
	And I think he's going to do everything he can to end it.
	On the other side, again, the hypocrisy of sending more and more weapons to Israel to keep slaughtering the Palestinians, and Israel's stealing more and more land from Syria in violation of the ceasefire agreement with Lebanon.
	They're in five different areas in Lebanon bombing the hell out of destroying entire neighborhoods, bombing people's homes to ruin, and sending more money for that.
	Yeah, so he cuts off the funding for arms to Ukraine, and then they send $4 billion to Israel, and Israel immediately cuts off food to the people that are there.
	I mean, you know, it is this back and forth, and it's pretty clear who's controlling him.
	But, you know, he's also getting involved in trying to get Zelensky out of there.
	They're talking to the different opposition people that are there.
	I thought it was amazing, Gerald.
	The Wall Street Journal took the side of Zelensky in that little spat in the Oval Office, and they ended their little puff piece with a quote from Zelensky where he said, well, you know, they want me to leave and everything, but the Ukrainian people have something to say about that.
	We have elections here and all this.
	And they left it there.
	They didn't say the fact that, you know, Zelensky has shut down the elections.
	Zelensky arrested his opponents.
	They leave this there as democracy.
	I'm so sick and tired of democracy being their excuse that these people don't believe in democracy at all.
	Neither, you know, none of the people throwing it out there.
	Yeah.
	This is the Trends Journal in 2014. We've talked about this a dozen times.
	It's the United States overthrow the democratically elected government of Vicky Yanukovych in Ukraine.
	Yeah, yeah.
	People have no idea about it.
	The article was written by Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, Washington is driving the world to the final war.
	How the United States gave $5 billion to non-governmental organizations in Ukraine with Victoria Nuland boasting about it in 2013. You could look it up.
	She's at the National Press Club doing the whole act.
	People have no idea of the overthrow.
	Yeah.
	None at all.
	Oh, yeah.
	But going back to Ukraine, now look at the stupidity spewing out of the mouth of a little guy like Macron, who you mentioned, with a guy with a pecker probably about the size of this thing, if he has one at all, with his fake little hair.
	And another clown, a BlackRock guy?
	Oh, they brought in another BlackRock guy that's going to be the chancellor of Germany?
	Oh, really?
	Oh, okay.
	That's right, he was with BlackRock.
	One of these technocrat bankers, you know, like they throw out the elections.
	BlackRock, the big zone of the world.
	Yeah, they don't care about the elections.
	You know, Greece would just throw that out and we'll put in Mario Draghi and then they put him in over the Greek election.
	They put him in twice in Italy.
	And so now they got a BlackRock guy that's there in Germany.
	In Germany, yeah.
	Wow, that's great.
	So anyway.
	Now look at how they want to expand their defense budget, Germany.
	Oh, you mean the Nazis want to defend that Germany?
	Oh, and Macron, they're going to all increase their defense budgets?
	How stupid can you be?
	How stupid?
	You're going to increase your defense budget so you can fight Russia?
	Get this in your head.
	If you go to war with Russia, it's the end of life on Earth.
	It'll be nuclear war and nuclear annihilation.
	Nobody talks about this.
	Nobody.
	And even if you didn't, even if you take the nuclear thing off, which they can't take that off, but even if you did, it's absurd.
	I talked about the saber rattling from Keir Starmer and the UK, and I said, oh, okay, look at this.
	You know, Russia outnumbers them like 50 to 1 on most of these metrics that are out there.
	You know, they go down, you know, what kind of, in terms of jets, in terms of ships, in terms of submarines, not even talking about nuclear weapons.
	And it's absolutely...
	Amazing.
	The hubris of these people, I think, probably just want to get some kind of a military-industrial complex going on there for the money and for the politicians, you know, is what I'm guessing with this.
	Well, you should see how the stocks have gone up in Europe on the defense stocks.
	That's right.
	They skyrocket.
	Yeah, they need a European military-industrial complex so they can make money the same way that the people in the U.S. do.
	Yep.
	But, of course, it's also when you have that military...
	That guy, Stormer.
	Mm-hmm.
	Look at him.
	Yeah.
	Look at these little gutless little boys.
	Oh, and how about the arrogant jerk that we have over here, our Secretary of Defense, Hengson?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Could you get a more arrogant piece of scum?
	Yeah.
	Oh, oh, and we're going to fight China?
	Yeah.
	It got sown.
	You haven't won a war since World War II. Yeah.
	And you wouldn't have won that one without the Russians.
	Oh, don't say that.
	Oh, yeah.
	The Russians were the first to beat the Germans.
	After the Germans, Operation Barbarossa killed over 20 million of them.
	You remember Eisenhower made the deal, they held back so we could get in there, right?
	You forgot that one?
	You haven't won a war, you lost the Vietnam War, you lost the Iraq War, you couldn't beat the Afghans, you're going to beat the Chinese, 1.4 billion people, and the largest naval fleet in the world?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, a lot of hubris.
	But, of course, the problem is that they create this build-up, a European version of the military-industrial complex so the politicians can make a lot of money, graft and corruption, that type of thing.
	Then it does come along.
	The military-industrial complex then wants a war because they want to sell even more of these weapons.
	And they want to test their weapons.
	And so when you look at Europe...
	And the history that it's had, you know, it's one of the reasons why Washington said no foreign entanglements, because they're at a constant state of war.
	That's been the situation for centuries.
	And here they are.
	They're still at it again.
	And now they're going to rearm, and it's Trump who's been pushing them to rearm.
	He pushed them in his first term, saying, if you don't increase your spending, we might leave NATO and all those other guys.
	But the net result was that he got them to increase their spending, and now he's going to do it again.
	Perhaps that's his role, why they put him in place.
	I don't know.
	Yep.
	And again, how stupid can you be?
	Yep.
	Berlin seeks long-term EU exemption for defense.
	Financial Times.
	Mertz on Tuesday.
	This is the guy who's the BlackRock guy.
	Friedrich Mertz.
	I know.
	I was laughing about that.
	They got Fred Mertz.
	I wonder if Ethel is going to be there as well.
	We're in big trouble.
	That the country would do whatever it takes to defend European peace and security.
	Oh, and if only women were in charge?
	How about that clown lady?
	That Vandalian?
	How do you pronounce her name?
	The one that's the head of the NATO? Yep.
	We've also got Ursula, who's fond of lying.
	European leaders in recent days have accelerated plans to increase the continent's, quote, rearmament, as von der Leyen put it.
	Lying.
	Lying.
	Von der Leyen.
	Yep.
	Ursula is fond of lying.
	Yep.
	That's right.
	Von der Leyen encouraged EU's 26 capitals.
	To use the four-year exemption from fiscal rules for their military budget.
	You ready?
	Quote, a new era is upon us.
	Europe faces a clear and present danger on a scale that none of us have never seen in our adult lifetime.
	She said, adult, you're still a kid.
	What are you talking about?
	Adult.
	Oh, oh, Russia hasn't.
	They haven't threatened Europe.
	Why are you saying this, you liar?
	Again, I'm tired of hearing this crap that they don't say that.
	If only women were in charge, there'd be peace.
	Oh, yeah, about Hillary Clinton.
	We came, we saw he died.
	Once you found out Gaddafi was dead.
	Well, we just had this last week.
	They had the Danish prime minister.
	Her name is Frederiksen.
	She said, peace in Ukraine is more dangerous than the ongoing war.
	Does this sound like Orwell?
	War is peace?
	Ignorance is strength?
	You know, I mean, it's absolutely insane what they're doing.
	Next, she's going to be telling us.
	Samantha Power?
	You forgot about, how about Samantha Power?
	How about Susan Rice?
	Condoleezza Rice?
	Mm-hmm.
	Oh, and they're black.
	You mean black women were for war?
	Again, I'm tired of hearing about this race, creed, and color crap.
	Good and bad comes in everyone.
	I don't want to hear this garbage anymore.
	Well, that's how they control us.
	And of course, you know, it's also...
	Part of that is how Trump can get away with so much of the stuff that he's doing, because everybody just trusts him.
	Oh, well, I know it looks like it's bad, but it's just 4-D chess, right?
	And so, you know, they get these people, and when you buy into that identity politics, whether it's like, oh, well, if it's a woman, it's good.
	If it's a black person, it's good.
	If it's Trump, it's good.
	You know, they just buy into that, and they're not actually looking at the policies, and that's what...
	It gets really dangerous about this.
	But, yeah, Macron is trying to set himself up, I think, as the Russian foreign minister called him, a little Napoleon.
	A little jerk of nothing.
	Again, a little clown.
	Again, you mentioned that guy Starmer.
	A little jerk of nothing.
	One little jerk.
	Again, as I said, you look at that little Mike Johnson.
	It's a clown show!
	It's a freak show in everybody's eyes!
	You've got to be deaf, dumb, and blind not to see it.
	By the way, on to another issue.
	Before I forget.
	A month ago, March 4th, cover of our Trends Journal magazine.
	Dot-com bust 2.0.
	I mentioned to you before, the NASDAQ now is in correction territory.
	There's going to be a dot-com bust.
	You go, again, we only go by data.
	Before scumbag Clinton brought China into the World Trade Organization in 2000, 10% of the 18-year-olds in China went to college.
	Now, nearly 70% are.
	I'm going back to AI. Young people, everybody's AI addicted.
	Totally addicted.
	It's a tech world.
	China's going to be the advanced nation in AI. It's perfect for the Chinese.
	It's more control over the people and all through technology.
	They've over-invested in the first companies that AI, trends are born, they grow, mature, reach old age and die.
	AI was only born in 2022. It's only three years old.
	You don't invest everything in the biggest companies first.
	And that's what they did.
	They've over-invested in all of these companies.
	And China came out.
	DeepSeek is out of the news now.
	It's the most gone-to AI site in the world.
	In the world.
	They do it for a fraction of the cost with smaller chips.
	There's going to be a dot-com bust.
	And I say, when all else fails, they take you to war.
	They're ramping up war with Venezuela.
	Are you seeing it?
	That guy, Bess, I just read to you.
	And now again, in another article about Venezuela, I just had it here, Venezuela's repression forces hit from Trump oil curb.
	And they're going through a tough time.
	We have no right doing this to Venezuela.
	They didn't do anything to us.
	Trump is the guy that tried to put in this little clown.
	We wrote about it while it was happening in Trent's journal.
	Guaido.
	Juan Guaido.
	Remember that?
	And he totally failed.
	Totally failed.
	They're doing everything they can to cut off oil.
	To keep...
	Bringing up the oil prices in America so America sells more oil.
	They're trying to cut it off from Venezuela and they're cutting it off from Iran so United States oil companies can make more money.
	They're ramping up war.
	And Israel and the United States are going to ramp up the war against Iran.
	And again, Trump lied his way into office as being a peace candidate.
	He just did this to Venezuela, cutting off their oil.
	We're renaming this Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America.
	We're going to take over the Panama Canal.
	We want Greenland.
	And Canada, you too.
	Yeah, that's right.
	That's the most amazing hubris right there.
	He lied, as he always does.
	Yes, yes.
	I agree.
	Yeah, now we've become, you know, the national anthem is being booed everywhere at sporting events now because of this Canadian nonsense that he's doing.
	But, you know, I thought it was also interesting that it came out that there was secret negotiations with this Rick Grinnell guy, who was his temporary DNI first term, that he's in Switzerland talking to Russia about doing a partnership with the gas pipeline stuff, reopening some of these, Pipelines that were blown up and having a partnership there with it.
	Not that they would actually run it, but that they would have some of his investor buddies.
	Again, we're always back to this crony capitalism and the robber barons, except this time he spells baron with two R's, right?
	So, you know, it's all these people who are going to be making money like the old railroad guys in the late 1800s.
	And so he's got some money men who want to be a part of this, and that appears to be maybe some of the deal that they're putting in on the side.
	Because it seems like every deal that he's...
	They got to make some money for him and his friends.
	Yep.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Look at the cabinet.
	All the billionaires, the billionaires club.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	They said, if you're not a billionaire, shut your mouth.
	You have no right in this country.
	They could before, by the way, you were talking about Amtrak.
	I call it Amcrap.
	It's ridiculous.
	Go to Europe.
	Oh, China has trains.
	How many miles an hour?
	I believe, again, they destroyed this country when they did away with the rail system and trolleys and all that and put railroad vehicles.
	They destroyed whole neighborhoods.
	You go to New Haven, Connecticut, what a mess.
	All over.
	Roads going through the middle of the cities.
	I believe that the transportation system, I'm totally in favor of having a national transportation system.
	Totally in favor of it.
	Well, I'm all about individual private cars, and it seems like they're hell-bent on making sure that that doesn't happen.
	I don't want them controlling my...
	I remember, Gerald, I'll tell you the story.
	My audience has heard it when I was in Raleigh.
	Little Raleigh, they had a woman who had just gone to Russia.
	And she said, I could go all over Moscow and only pay a nickel.
	And I said, no, it cost you all your freedom.
	You know, to have something like that.
	I don't want the government running my transportation system.
	Yeah, I do.
	Because the transportation system stinks in this country.
	And rather than putting the money into the military-industrial complex, imagine if we put that money into high-speed rail.
	But they won't even maintain the roads.
	But they won't even maintain the roads.
	You know, this whole thing about congestion pricing up there in New York City, when Trump shut that down or whatever, you know, that fight that's going on there.
	So their response is, okay, so we're going to widen the bike lanes and, you know, put a road diet because they're doing everything they can to get rid of the...
	They're trying to create congestion.
	They want to get rid of cars so they won't fix the roads.
	They make the roads narrower.
	If they won't fix the roads, what are they going to do with the railroads?
	I mean, they're not going to maintain the railroads either.
	The whole country is a joke.
	They don't care.
	They don't care about any of that stuff.
	All they care about is making money.
	I agree.
	Let's talk a little bit about China, because I saw an interesting take about the Belt and Road Initiative, and it reminded me very much of the International Monetary Fund when it was under Robert McNamara, you know, the whiz kid that did the Vietnam debacle.
	And so he goes from Vietnam to the International Monetary Fund, and he would encourage all these countries to borrow money from the IMF and build up their infrastructure.
	Except that they didn't build up their infrastructure.
	They built up their welfare state and basically put them in debt to the IMF. Now, what China's doing is a little bit different.
	They go in with this Belt and Road Initiative, and they say, you know, we're going to finance this for you.
	We're going to build a lot of infrastructure for you.
	And then they overbuilt it, like in the case of Pakistan, this is what this article was about.
	They overbuilt the infrastructure there, and it is costing a fortune for, it's like half of what these Pakistanis get on average on a monthly basis if they just run a couple of lights in an oven.
	It costs them like $60 a month, and they've got $120 a month that they're doing there.
	And so they put these countries into debt to China, building infrastructure that is more than they need.
	In many cases, it's not functional, but they still owe China overbuilt, as you said.
	They have like 90 million vacant apartments, 60, 90 million.
	And with every boom, there's a bust, and they made a bad situation worse by three years of zero COVID policy that destroyed the lives and livelihoods of hundreds of millions of people in the country.
	So, what they're getting back, because what they're doing is they're buying less and less foreign products and becoming more self-sustaining and self-sufficient.
	Just like what happened with Russia when they put sanctions on Russia.
	We said, no, Putin's not going to pay the price.
	They have the human and natural resources to be more and more self-sufficient.
	And that's what's going on with China.
	And this whole AI thing is now changing the whole scheme.
	Just like that.
	Just like that.
	You're looking at how the stocks are going up all of a sudden in Hang Seng and others because of the AI thing.
	And that's the future.
	So it may balance out to a little bit, but their debt level is still going to increase.
	They have a debt-to-GDP level of over 300%.
	So they're way overbuilt, way overspent, but they're going to become more and more self-sufficient.
	They need to change the way they calculate GDP. That's problem solved, right?
	Let's talk a little bit about gold.
	Because another thing that I thought was interesting was the fact that with all this Trump tariff stuff and everything, everybody's like, well, get this stuff in here now.
	The car companies are bringing in the engines and the parts before the deadline is supposedly going to hit.
	And a lot of that happened with gold.
	They said it's not just the gold that's coming in through London, but massive amounts of gold out of Switzerland and everything, to the extent that Zero Hedge said it actually was a significant part of the trade deficit, you know, buying foreign gold and bringing it in.
	Well, tell us a little bit about what's going on with gold.
	Again, you know we've been positive on gold.
	One of your top trends for 2024 was a golden year for gold.
	Gold prices went up last year 27%.
	We're up over 12% now.
	Central banks are buying it up.
	There's all of this uncertainty going on in the world.
	And so we're very bullish on gold.
	Again, we don't give financial advice, but we see gold breaking over $3,500 an ounce.
	And it could go much higher.
	Again, it's the wild card that they're going to say again that we have more gold.
	This is our goal of raising the price of gold.
	I agree.
	And I think they're going to do it.
	They're going to make gold a gold standard again.
	Oh, and by the way, before I forget about Iran, that's very important because if Israel and the United States go to war against Iran, you're going to see oil prices spike, markets crash, and again, the dot-com bust.
	When that happens, gold prices are going to skyrocket.
	So we're very bullish on gold for those two reasons.
	And again, it was Trump that killed Soleimani.
	Everybody forgets that.
	Oh, yeah.
	Not Iranian commander.
	Yeah.
	And he threatens them.
	You know, don't you try that against me.
	It's like, well, maybe you just thought about that before you did that.
	Yeah, it's, you know, when things get really chaotic and volatile like they are now.
	People are going to run to gold, even if some of these other things don't happen.
	And so I really do think that is going to be the case.
	A couple of people here, real quickly, Dustin Helm, thank you very much for the tip and high boost.
	He says, Health Impact News used you as a source yesterday.
	First time I've seen David use as a source for making waves.
	Thank you so much for letting me know that.
	I didn't know that.
	But, yeah, I like the research that he's done on the turn that RFK Jr. has done with these vaccines and everything else, as well as speech.
	And again, I just want to remind everybody, if you go to trendsjournal.com, and you can use the code NIGHT, and you can save 10% off of the subscription that's there.
	And it's a great magazine.
	As you pointed out, it's got 200 or 300 pages that you're doing each week.
	And it's an online magazine so that you can quickly hop around from topic to topic.
	topic is very nice to uh format that you can read online it's not like a regular website it's an online uh book that you can flip through so it's a really great format and great information that you've got there thank you uh so again thank you so much for that and i'll just read one more quote here before we go away denver attaway says children's health defense and rfk jr i call him now uh I call him RFK jab.
	I've been calling him RFK jab.
	I call him RFK jab.
	Have adopted very different messages on MMR. Children's Health Defense blames the measles on a new vax.
	RFK jab.
	Ain't talking about any of that.
	Yeah, that's right.
	It truly is me.
	Well, again, that's the end of the show.
	Everybody, have a great weekend.
	Again, Gerald, it's great having you on.
	Don't forget, folks, the code NIGHT, and that's going to get you an entire week's worth of information at Trends Journal for just a little bit over $2.
	Thank you so much, Gerald.
	Thank you.
	Thank you for all you're doing.
	Thank you for having me.
	Hello, it's me, Volodymyr Zelensky.
	I'm so tired of wearing these same t-shirts everywhere for years.
	You'd think with all the billions I've skimmed off America, I could dress better.
	And I could if only David Knight would send me one of his beautiful grey MacGuffin hoodies or a new black t-shirt with the MacGuffin logo in blue.
	But he told me to get lost.
	Maybe one of you American suckers can buy me some at thedavidknightshow.com.
	You should be able to buy me several hundred those amazing sand-colored microphone hoodies are so beautiful.
	I'd wear something other than green military cosplay to my various galas and social events.
