	It's the David Knight Show.
	The David Knight Show.
	Welcome to the David Knight Show.
	Painful music
	I'm Gardner Goldsmith filling in for David Knight.
	As the clock strikes 13 on Airstrip 1. On this 21st day of March, year of our Lord, 2025.
	Thank you for joining the David Knight program.
	A beautiful Friday here in the steppes of southern Russia.
	And I hope you're enjoying a glorious day.
	Today, as I get to fill in for David Knight, Excellent conversation with Gerald Salente at 11 o'clock and offer you the breaking news about Donald Trump eliminating federal influence on local education.
	Is it possible or is it a smokescreen?
	Let's look at some of the heroes who have fought against centralized government schooling and get your thought
	as well as other great news.
	It is a glorious morning here in New Hampshire, and I hope it's wonderful wherever you are.
	Thank you for joining me, Gardner Goldsmith, getting to fill in for David Knight on The David Knight Show.
	Thank you also for heading over to The David Knight Show website, checking everything out there, and for communicating with us.
	So often inside the chats.
	It's great to be here.
	You might know my work from MRCTV.
	I come over from the Media Research Center and do work with them.
	And Monday through Friday, I have my own program on Rumble and My Ex, which is at Guard Goldsmith.
	And you can watch that.
	We call it Liberty Conspiracy because freedom is out of fashion nowadays.
	So let's work together on this glorious Friday.
	I hope you have had a fantastic week and that your Friday is looking good.
	Whatever. Whatever time zone you call home, as I often say.
	We'll check in with the chats.
	The controllers from Russia with my brain chip receiver can give me the commands and they can let me know if you want your comments seen on the screen.
	It doesn't happen all the time, but oftentimes the Russians can hop off of their bears and put the comments right up on the screen.
	So if you're watching on the David Knight X, which is at Libertitarian.
	Drop your comments in there.
	We'll also check in and see what's up with the great Rumble crew.
	And we'll check in with what's happening on...
	I want to let you know that as I get to fill in for David, I endeavor to do my best for the great man and his family.
	They're just so wonderful.
	So if you have the opportunity and you appreciate what David puts out, what he offers with wisdom, with scholarship, and of course, with his great devotion to God, please consider donating to The David Knight Show.
	And hop over to the store.
	Maybe get something nice for a friend as springtime comes around.
	I hope that I can do a good job for him while I'm here.
	And I appreciate you being here.
	We're going to check in right now and see what's happening already.
	I can tell people are populating inside Rumble and Rockfin.
	And I want to say hello to all of you who are there.
	I really appreciate you being there.
	And please repopulate, repost, and do all that stuff that they say in the modern tech.
	I want to thank everyone for being there.
	I see that already.
	Already, Knights of the Storm, Jason Barker is there.
	Harps is there from Australia.
	Harps, happy evening to you.
	Oh, I don't even know what time it might be over there, but it's good to know you're there.
	And greetings to Queensland.
	I have fond memories of being there, as you know.
	Well, let's get some fond memories put together today as we commune and we break apart the news, as I often say on Liberty Conspiracy, to derive longstanding lessons for freedom, intellectual ammunition.
	What's on tap today for the David Knight Show, one and all?
	Well, of course, a very, very major story coming up.
	Donald Trump announcing the end?
	Question mark.
	This is the end, as the Doors would say, of the Department of Education?
	Well, maybe.
	Let's see what's happening today and check in on our second sound system.
	We often do this on my program because the production team here is so big that they'd always tell me, make sure that you give them the opportunity to hear either Genesis doing Tonight, Tonight, Tonight on your program or some other great music guru from the past to make sure that the system is working properly.
	Having been a former music DJ, I know my music, so I get to tell everybody that, just like Anthony Fauci, trust the science in music.
	So, of course, we're going to play Smashing Pumpkins with today.
	Wait a minute.
	What was that?
	I understand.
	That was Smashing Pumpkins, as I know.
	I am the music expert.
	Trust the music science.
	There you go.
	Just let me know if you can hear that, and that tells us that the second signal is working well.
	Let's look at what is on tap for today's program, one and all.
	The newsflash will start things off, as I often do on Liberty Conspiracy.
	We'll ask a question, a very quick question.
	Is the Daily Wire in trouble?
	A little lighter story for some, maybe not for people who work at The Daily Wire, but very serious business for Christians who have seen The Daily Wire and its very strong pro-Zionist, statist, Zionist government orientation.
	Coming out against the very statement of Christ is King, and that is causing a lot of waves on the tumultuous sea of politics.
	Then, we'll talk about Trump ordered to return trans men posing as women to women's prisons.
	We'll also talk about the University of Washington spending our tax money to hand Mifepristone to women without medical exams.
	So, the women choosing to kill the life of the human being who is growing inside her and now put at greater risk because of tax-subsidized University of Washington.
	Maybe we can look at the root of many of those problems, the ethical problems of taking someone's money to pay for that type of crime.
	We'll also talk about International Criminal Court.
	The International Criminal Court has cited Israel.
	Yes, the entire state of Israel for its genocide.
	Our guest at 11 o'clock, Gerald Salente.
	Most likely, I think, has something to say about that because he has been a great proponent of peace.
	That is where I got to meet David and Karen and Travis for the first time at one of Gerald Salente's great events in Kingston, New York, where they spoke for peace and individual liberty.
	So let's talk about some of those things right now, one and all.
	And I'm going to make sure that in the front part of today's program for the David Knight Show, we inject...
	That breaking news about the so-called elimination of the Department of Education.
	And as you might know, if you watch my program, this has a very strong tie to me and my family because my father was brought into the Reagan administration to work with Charlotte Izerbeet.
	And he met Samuel Blumenfeld down there.
	And I didn't know this.
	He became friends with Ron Paul.
	They were there to try to eliminate.
	The just-started Jimmy Carter Department of Education.
	And so they both left, he and Charlotte, at the same time because they knew they weren't going to be able to eliminate it.
	And they both decided they could not in good conscience work there and take people's tax money if they were not going to eliminate the Department of Education.
	I was very proud of my father when he decided to do that.
	He left his job.
	Because he could no longer ethically do it.
	That was remarkable.
	And so my father was sort of one of the people's behind the scenes.
	Charlotte wrote books.
	My dad edited books for Sam Blumenfeld and put a pseudonym on them for a while while he was working at the Department of Education.
	And they would have meetings in restaurants because they thought their offices were bugged by Carter holdovers.
	Files that were supposed to go to Ronald Reagan that had special codes on them never reached Reagan.
	That'll show you what it was like at the start of the U.S. Department of Education.
	So my family's been deeply involved in this, and I feel honored to be able to join you in the audience of The David Knight Show and let you touch base with a man, my father, who was born in 1917 and who actually met Civil War veterans.
	That's a very strange experience, to be a child talking to your father, and he comes up with a line that says, well, you know, when I talk to the Civil War vets, and you pause, you say, what, Dad, what?
	He said, oh, yeah, you know, I was about six, seven years old, and they'd be marching in the Veterans Day parades, or they'd come into our school and show us the little canteens that they have, and their little pots and pans.
	I was like, Dad, that is, I'm talking to a man who spoke to a man who was in the Civil War?
	He said, yeah, this country is not that old.
	Well, so let's feel young today.
	And again, review what's on tap for the program.
	And I want to thank everyone.
	Again, please repopulate while we're going live.
	And of course, after the program, find the audio podcasts and check everything out and spread the word even after the program.
	I always find that the David Knight Show is so valuable even after the fact.
	It's just a wonderful thing.
	Ladies and gentlemen, let's get into our first story.
	Our first story is included in what I often do on Liberty Conspiracy, the newsflash.
	So the news flash gets energy pumping into the system, and it lets us hear a little funk from the people who bring us the flashlight, the P-Funk All-Stars.
	outro music
	Yes, the P-Funk All-Stars.
	You can't go wrong with them.
	So what is in the newsflash?
	Let's discuss the Daily Wire.
	The Daily Wire could be in some trouble.
	Hmm, this is very interesting.
	The Daily Wire could be in trouble.
	Why? Because of the Christ is King controversy.
	So, let's get over to this while we have the opportunity.
	I don't know if you're familiar with this, but there's a man named John Delaraz.
	And John Delaraz is a writer who writes science fiction and fantasy.
	And in fact, he just had a science fiction fantasy book released, and he's a conservative.
	And it's very interesting to see what John has to say because originally he was really quite MAGA, but he's kind of separated a little bit from that.
	And part of it has to do with the controversy over Israel.
	So let me give this to you right now.
	This is John's YouTube channel.
	And this is what he has to say about this controversy.
	He also publishes on Substack something called Fandom Pulse, and he covers this very, very well.
	I mean, last week, if you don't know what happened with this, like, controversy, a lot of people from the Daily Wire were going out there adding fuel to the fire, saying that the phrase Christ is King is anti-Semitic.
	Very odd, and very odd given that Ben Shapiro, a Jewish man, is in charge of all of this.
	And right after this, we see that CEO Jeremy Boring steps down from his role at The Daily Wire.
	And now there's rumors that it's going bankrupt.
	This is pretty interesting.
	So Daily Wire was one of those out there that actually was beginning to get into the culture war stuff.
	They produced a couple of movies.
	Pretty rough movies at that.
	But it seemed like they were one of the few that were actually trying to do something.
	And it gets really, really weird here.
	I've always kind of thought they were controlled opposition.
	And, you know, now we're seeing that there may be internal problems here where they were propped up.
	We're going to get into this in just a moment.
	Please hit the like and subscribe button.
	This is Fandom Pulse, our substack.
	We talk about all things in the culture war, entertainment news, and the like.
	We are bringing the fight directly.
	And so please sign up for this in the description below.
	Make sure you don't miss any news items that are coming out during the day.
	But on top of that, you can sign up and for $5 a month, you can become a member here and support us.
	We do this without advertising.
	That way we don't sell.
	We don't have any problems.
	And we're doing this full-time to bring this to you because this is needed in the culture.
	Remember that politics is downstream from culture.
	This is something that a lot of people just ignore out there.
	And we're growing very, very fast.
	Our site's actually getting more views than a lot of regular news outlets out there, which is great news.
	And we're only getting started, my friends.
	Thank you for being here.
	So Daily Wire's CEO is stepping down, he announced.
	I'm Zach Brown, CEO of McComb Racing.
	It's like every day at my house in an eBay box.
	There's a report from Axios, and fellow co-CEO and founder Caleb Robinson will be now the full-time CEO as he vacates his position.
	While he's stepping down, he informed the Daily Wire employees that he will remain in an advisory role.
	This is pretty normal when you're leaving a job like this.
	You actually have contract clauses where you kind of have to do that sort of thing for usually a year or two.
	And he's going to continue to host the Daily Wire backstage for now, as well as creative projects such as the Pendragon Cycle, where he's director and executive producer.
	I was actually really looking forward to this one, hoping that they do a good job with it.
	This is something that's important to do well.
	The Pendragon Cycle, if you are not familiar with the books, Now, in a press release to Daily Wire's website, it affirmed Boring will also stay on an advisory role, continue to host this with the company's monthly show featuring Shapiro Walsh,
	Michael Knowles, and Andrew Klavan.
	He also stated, I'm enormously proud of our team, our many battles, successes we've achieved together over the last decades.
	We're just getting started.
	To get us to the heights we know we can achieve, we have brought in a world-class executive team I'm confident will thrive in taking us to the next level.
	Under Caleb's ongoing leadership, I turn my full attention to creative and entertainment ventures for the company.
	Interesting stuff right here because they are losing major talent like Candace Owens and Brett Cooper, who are big draws for this stuff.
	You can see that Candace Owens is now beating Ben Shapiro in views on YouTube, which is pretty wild to see at this point.
	And it is just because she's taking stands on behalf of Christian culture.
	And I would add, of course, that she's also taking stands about the genocide in Palestine that the Israeli government is conducting with our tax money.
	And that is a major, major issue.
	So I would ask you, I personally suspect that the Daily Wire will have...
	A long future.
	And for some reason, the name Adelson pops into my mind, as I mentioned to the audience on Liberty Conspiracy last night.
	I think they will get infusions of money if they need it.
	And I think that the change-up that is coming, the shake-out that is coming from the Daily Wire is probably a healthy thing because it allows people to see what is at the heart of some people like Ben Shapiro, who seem to have absolutely nothing to say about women in shit.
	being blown to pieces by an occupying nation state.
	Candace Owens, some people think it's a limited hangout for Candace Owens.
	I know people who know Candace Owens, and from what I know, she's...
	So, there you go.
	That's what's happening for Daily Wire.
	It's a very interesting change in the landscape for conservatism, as back in the old days, after the fall of the Berlin Wall, The people who were the neocons and the paleoconservatives, people like Pat Buchanan as a paleoconservative and the more libertarian-minded people,
	saw that there was a split.
	Once Reagan was gone and the Berlin Wall was gone and that threat of communism was gone, people started to see that really there was a very large portion of the Republican Party that had always been there and had always been in favor of a deep state.
	Big military, outward hegemonic approach to the United States, while there was a much smaller group within the Republican Party that was much more traditionalist and wanted that real federalism and smaller government.
	And they often recognized after that that they were getting lip service from people like George H.W. Bush.
	And then different bonbons, different brickbats and enemies were thrown at them, as we saw with 9-11 and the threat of Islamo-fascist terrorism, so on.
	So they increased fascism here with the Republican rhinos and the Democrats joining together and some of the conservatives.
	And now I think we're getting another separation, that separation coming over the United States, the Constitution, and unfortunately, the fact that it's a slow learning process for some people,
	but I think they're starting to recognize that there's a difference between MAGA, Trump...
	So we'll see how that all plays out.
	It's very interesting.
	And John De La Rose, I don't agree with him on everything, but his coverage of culture is really, really good.
	So hats off to John De La Rose.
	We've been in touch with each other, I think, once, and we have mutual friends.
	So I just wanted to let folks know about that.
	Let's get into our other big, big story.
	It is, of course, about education.
	It's about Donald Trump's announcement over education and the big story of education that, yes, as you know, the Department of Education has been with us for a long time.
	So Donald Trump happened to make an appearance in the Oval Office where he, of course, had to do one of these very popular stunts and have kids around him.
	And announce somehow that he is ending the Department of Education.
	But is he really doing that?
	Let's take a look and see.
	We have clandestine telling us this as they have children around Donald Trump as props.
	Do you think any of those children understood what was going on there?
	It's interesting to see as they all have copies like Donald Trump of his executive order.
	Or at least something that looks like it.
	And here's how it played
	out.
	And yes, he had the pens and the whole thing.
	So definitely the Republicans are Donald Trump's administration, and most are not beneath using kids as props, but it's supposed to be about kids.
	So I don't want to be too critical of that.
	I would like to get your thoughts as we enter this conversation about this.
	Give me your thoughts as you grew up.
	about some of the experiences you might have had In a public or even in a private school.
	We know Gerald Salenti had a terrible time in a Catholic school when he was a child.
	He got beaten by one of the nuns who was teaching him.
	And I'm going to talk to Gerald about that and ask him some questions about it.
	But give me your thoughts, because it's not always necessarily negative.
	I have had some terrible teachers in public schools.
	That is the final face of the statism.
	But I've also had some good teachers, some good people, who if I were in a private school, my parents would have been happy.
	And so, offer your comments, your thoughts.
	Let's have a conversation about that.
	Drop your comments into X. They can go on the screen.
	You can drop your comments into Rockfin or Rumble as well.
	And talk to me a little bit, maybe some of your memories as we open up the lines of communications on the David Knight Show.
	And you can see Donald Trump there, obviously, with the pins, with the executive order.
	I went to try to find a copy of this executive order yesterday.
	There was none.
	I even asked Grok to try to find it for me.
	And Grok responded by saying something quite interesting.
	Let me see if I can find it for you.
	Let's see.
	Trump ordered to dismantle.
	It said...
	As of the current date, March 20th, 2025, there is no official link to a finalized and signed Donald Trump administration executive order specifically titled or explicitly documented as eliminating the Department of Education.
	And maybe that's because we all know he's not really going to eliminate the Department of Education.
	Let me give you more information on this from Forbes because they kind of spell out some of this.
	Here is their story as of yesterday.
	Eliminate, in quotes, Department of Education executive order.
	What it means?
	Well, let's check it out.
	The President Trump signed executive order initiates action to begin eliminating the Department of Education once and for all, to begin eliminating it.
	This unprecedented move comes despite legal limits requiring an act of Congress to abolish the department entirely.
	We're going to shut it down and shut it down as quickly as possible.
	Trump said at Thursday's event with the children present, of course.
	Trump did not say anything specific about the student loan program, but earlier in the day, that's for colleges, earlier in the day, his press secretary, Caroline Lovett, when she wasn't getting it wrong about tariffs, said the Department of Education will be much smaller than it is today.
	So there you go.
	Yes, truth in advertising, Donald.
	I don't think you get it.
	But then again, you've worked in media for a long time, haven't you?
	You've put it out there as the end of the Department of Education and no wonder the executive order is unavailable right now because it doesn't end the Department of Education.
	It doesn't do what my father and Charlotte worked so hard to do.
	What they literally went to restaurants to discuss because they thought their offices were bugged.
	It doesn't do what you say it's going to do.
	You're lying.
	In addition to that, perhaps people can sense A certain amount of frustration on my part because Donald Trump decided it would be a really good idea to bring kids out and trot them up in front of the cameras while,
	of course, he's making sure that children in Palestine are being killed.
	He could stop that by stopping the unconstitutional weapons transfers.
	I hate to sound like a moralist, but the differential is rather striking.
	And rather memorable.
	There are a lot of schools in Gaza that have been blown to pieces.
	People sheltering at schools where they were told to go by the Israeli government and then the Israeli government targeted them.
	They just killed almost 500 people in the course of 48 hours in Gaza as they repartition it to take it over.
	That's the occupying state of Israel.
	Funded with my tax money.
	I would like to be left alone, Donald.
	I'd also like to be not included in the pedagogy promoted by the NEA and the National Teachers Union.
	How about that?
	Could I just have a choice?
	That would be fantastic.
	Thank you.
	I don't get a choice, do I?
	No. I put together a white paper on the amount of money that has been spent since the start of the Department of Education.
	And this is going to go out to my paid subscribers at the Gardner Goldsmith Substack.
	As you know, the Department of Education was actually a split-off from a previous department that Jimmy Carter undertook from the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare in the late 70s.
	He then created the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Education.
	Originally it was called HEW.
	You might remember that if you're under 40 or so.
	You might have heard about that in the distant mists of time.
	But from the start, if we want to look at outcomes and we want to look at amounts, not just the lack of morality, the lack of constitutionality, if we're talking products, the centralization of government was something that people like Horace Mann And many others had wanted since the days of Karl Marx,
	who has it in his planks of the 10 planks of the Communist Manifesto.
	The Department of Education, as I wrote, was a product of Jimmy Carter.
	It was an act on October 1st, October 17th, 1979.
	It started fiscal year 1980.
	My dad went down there the year after.
	Here's how much they spent the first year for the budget.
	For the Department of Education.
	Now, this does not include Pell Grants and other forms of money.
	This is just for the department.
	They spent $14 billion the first year.
	They had 17,000 employees.
	That's 1980.
	Let's go into 10 years later.
	Ten years later, 1990.
	So remember, 14, by 1990, it was $23 billion.
	By 2024, it was $251 billion.
	And in 2025, the budget is $228 billion.
	The cut.
	Is the department gone?
	No. Will it be gone?
	No. Donald Trump's plan is to continue federal control over the Department of Education in another name, just basically under the executive branch.
	The department also saw, starting in 1954, with the case of Brown v.
	Board of Education, also saw preceding it Additional federal intervention in the private schooling of children, because it takes people's money away and makes it harder for them to school their children privately,
	and in local control over education.
	And of course, I would love to refer people to Thomas Sowell's terrific book, Civil Rights, Rhetoric or Reality, because he opens the book with a conversation of Brown v.
	Board of Education, 1954.
	May 17th, 1954 was a momentous day in the history of the United States and perhaps the world.
	Something happened that afternoon that was all too rare in human history.
	And we saw forced busing after that.
	That started in the 1970s.
	Literally, kids who lived...
	10 or 15 minutes for a walk from a school in places like Boston, South Boston, being shipped over an hour each way.
	Why? Because they had to have equal numbers of black kids and white kids in the schools, supposedly because Brown v.
	Board of Education, federal intervention in something that is supposed to be a state issue, a state prerogative, they brought that up and said they're not equally protecting kids.
	No, they didn't say that.
	They said they're not equally treating kids.
	The 14th Amendment was misread.
	The 14th Amendment concerns equal treatment under the law and the major clause of it.
	But they claimed that schooling somehow was a federal concern.
	So they made it equal treatment.
	Under the law, which is not what the 14th Amendment reads.
	It's equal protection, which is supposed to be that if states have statutes that protect you against violence from other people, they're supposed to protect people equally.
	It's something they did after the Civil War during Reconstruction in case there were things like lynching and they wouldn't prosecute white guys in the South because they were white people in the prosecutorial area.
	So the 14th Amendment arises and they say you've got to protect people equally.
	Well, as I mentioned on Liberty Conspiracy, there's no such thing as equal.
	You can't get equal protection under any political system.
	First, because the political system engages in aggression in order to purportedly protect you.
	So it's a QED from the start.
	It's a non-starter.
	But second, there's no possible way that a police force can protect everyone equally.
	So if anyone has the notion...
	That the 14th Amendment actually supports anything other than fairy dust.
	I hope they will dispel that notion.
	I hope I can help them dispel that notion.
	But at least the wording of the 14th Amendment tells us it's equal protection, not equal treatment.
	So Brown v.
	Board of Education was wrong.
	It was incorrect.
	Regardless of one's feelings about race and equality or anything like that, there was no federal role over states.
	Involvement in education.
	That is supposed to be up to the states and the localities.
	You look in your state constitution to see what it says.
	That's it.
	It's not protection when it comes to shipping kids to schools to be indoctrinated.
	And that indoctrination is something I'd like to highlight in this, the first section of the David Knight Show.
	Because... Coming from my family, Paul H. Goldsmith, my father, I'd like to tell you a little bit about one of the people that my father met in Washington, D.C., one of the great heroes of the fight for private education and against the communist indoctrination of children to make them good cogs in the machine like Horace Mann wanted,
	like Bellamy wanted, like Karl Marx wanted, Charlotte Izerbeet.
	Who lived just a few hours away from me in Maine.
	Here is a little bit of how Charlotte got involved in the fight against government-run education.
	I knew then this is lifelong.
	So they take the students, the poor teachers who've been suffering for many, many years with all this in-service training, trying to, you know, absolutely destroy their minds and their values, and the community.
	And you give them the curriculum, so-called, the resources, and then they come out in the third column.
	Each one of them says desired characteristics.
	Now, as I say, if everybody had to say goodbye, Richard, you know, I've heard enough today, I think I understand, I would say, yes, you do.
	That is the purpose of American education.
	It has nothing to do with academics.
	So I saw that.
	And I started following it.
	And I went to some in-service training when William Spidey was there.
	And I wrote up the stuff.
	And, of course, let me point out that before going into the Department of Ed, I was a local school board member, too.
	Hi, we're moving on.
	Today we're going to cook some baby vacuoles.
	Let's skip that.
	Happens all the time.
	And I'd gone up against all these people.
	I understood what change agents were in the 70s.
	I didn't know when I came back from overseas in 1971 and I decided to run for school board.
	I had no idea what I was going to run into.
	But I was shocked, you know, when we were meant to be putting together a philosophy for the schools.
	Our major change agent out of Harvard, superintendent, Asked all of us,"Now, what do you think the schools should do?" And so we all had to write down what we thought.
	I said,"Well, I thought that they should teach strong academics and help these students have strong morals and values." And everybody jumped on me.
	Not everybody.
	Half the people on this little council said,"Whose?
	Whose values?" And I thought,"I've been out of the country 20 years.
	I didn't know that we had changed." Well stated.
	Charlotte, rest in peace, Charlotte.
	And the problem is not just federal involvement in schools.
	That maximizes the collectivism.
	The problem is the immorality of forcing one's neighbor to pay for education.
	And I've said this before on Liberty Conspiracy.
	I've written about it and I might have mentioned it filling in for David before.
	There is no right.
	To education.
	And if anyone says that, it's easy for you to dispel that notion as well, because you can say, look, no one has a right to the fruits of anybody else's labor.
	And they often try to put up the secondary to try to block the reality of what's going on, the force and the immorality of taking someone's money, forcing him to work for what you want.
	So I say, if you believe that there is a right to...
	Government-run education.
	That because the child can't educate himself or herself, the child has a right to some form of government-provided, taxpayer-funded education.
	Then what you're saying is that even on a local level, person A can be forced by the government, the local government, the federal government, the state government, and we get into worse and worse centralization.
	As we get into a larger sphere of control and there's less opportunity to escape, the larger it is, the smaller it is, at least you can escape bad decisions and fewer people are harmed by it and you can see the results more easily.
	But if one claims that a child has a right to education and that the government, even a local government, can take the money of person A. That he's worked for for X number of hours a day and give it to person B to educate his child through,
	let's say, a voucher.
	Or person B's child can get educated by giving the money to a government-run school.
	If we can force person A to work for those many hours a day and basically enslave him to whatever the desires are of the government, whoever can control that government for that period of time, whether they want LGBTQ commentary in there or anything like that.
	Then why don't we just remove the middleman and force the teacher to work for that many hours a day?
	If we can demand that that man expend energy on someone else's behalf by telling him he will go to jail or lose his property, by engaging in aggressive threats against that man for purportedly what is a good outcome, to however one looks at it,
	to educate a child, the means are immoral.
	The means are unethical.
	And they should not.
	That is an act of aggression against that man.
	So why don't we just strip off all of the wrappings and the tinsel and enslave the teacher and make the teacher provide the labor for that amount of time per day?
	Liberals would never accept that.
	They would say, how dare you say that?
	What are you talking about?
	It's the same thing.
	You're still forcing someone to work, so why not remove the middleman and just enslave all the teachers?
	Instead, you enslave the rest of the population and you call that comfortable.
	It's not.
	It's immoral.
	It's unethical.
	Charlotte was right.
	Even on the local level, you can see what has happened with the pedagogy.
	And this pedagogy move goes way back.
	I want to show you some more information, not just from Charlotte, but let's turn to one of my heroes, Sam Blumenfeld.
	His final books were done in conjunction with Alex Newman.
	You probably know Alex Newman from his excellent work and appearances with David Knight.
	And Alex had the opportunity to talk to Sam.
	And Sam has many, many videos on YouTube.
	Before I get to Alex, I want to show you this one first, actually.
	This is the book my father edited.
	That Sam Blumenfeld wrote.
	NEA, Trojan Horse of American Education.
	This is the one my father had to put a pseudonym on there because he was working for the Reagan administration at the time.
	But here's a little audio of one of Samuel Blumenfeld's presentations, one of his many, many presentations, and his scholarship.
	about the encroachment of centralized decision making, because the unions knew that if they could eliminate decentralized decision making, it would be easier for them to lobby, to get more money, and to infuse the pedagogy with collectivist ideology.
	That's why in many states...
	About 20 years ago, you saw a big move in many states to centralize decision-making and educational funding in the state houses rather than in the towns.
	This happened in Texas.
	They came up with what were called Robin Hood laws.
	They said there were property poor towns and property rich towns and that the central government would have to redistribute money and they would come up with the rules about what was acceptable.
	For education.
	Well, who decides what is acceptable for education?
	That goes to what Charlotte said.
	Everybody has different ideas about what is a good outcome for education.
	We'll hear from Thomas Sowell on that in a moment.
	Here's Sam.
	Oh, it's a little bit low.
	I'll have to dump out of that one.
	Let me go over to the next Sam piece.
	Because this one is with Alex Newman.
	And here is Alex.
	When Sam passed away, Alex gave a great presentation about Sam's efforts and his work.
	Sam also wrote a lot about the look-say method of reading and how that was put into the curriculum in schools in order to essentially create a workforce of workers who would be illiterate.
	And Sam found the records of this.
	This is on record.
	They wanted this.
	These are the utopian masters who wanted to have a top-down pyramidal structure with the elites at the top, the thinking people at the top, and the brawn.
	Down at the bottom, doing the work, the labor.
	And Alex caught on to this quickly, became friends with Sam.
	And here's what Alex had to say, because Sam exposed the look-say method of reading.
	They call it whole language sight reading, rather than phonics, which was the way we're supposed to read, with phonemes, with syllables, the sound symbol system of the alphabet.
	Created by the Phoenicians, which is why they call it phonemes.
	...versus phonics.
	And I had heard about this, you know, many years ago, but I didn't realize what a serious issue this was.
	This was just, for me, an arcane debate.
	Okay, whole word, phonics, who knows, who cares?
	But what Sam has done in this book, and in some of his previous books, is show that the importance of this is just monumental.
	Because basically, the whole word method is...
	It's used because it's not a proper way of teaching people to read.
	It produces lifelong reading disabilities.
	It produces dyslexia.
	And now modern brain scans can even show this.
	We talk about some of the studies that have been done.
	Neuroscientists have looked at this.
	And what they've shown is that children who learn how to read using phonics, alpha phonics is an excellent way to do that, their brains work well.
	You can scan their brains.
	You can see that the left brain does what the left brain should do.
	The right brain does what the right brain should do.
	The connections between the two are seamless.
	And I think that's really it.
	Huge and hugely important.
	And that is one of the great things I'd like to remember as we look at this supposed end of the Department of Education.
	These great heroes who not only worked to fight the giant Leviathan and keep things local in the tradition of the American system.
	As Alexei de Tocqueville noted, when he came to America in the early 1800s and wrote Democracy in America, he was going to write a completely different book about the penal system.
	But he was so impressed with the literacy rate and the lack of indigency in the United States, people flourishing, doing well, without any government intervention, without any government schooling.
	That he wrote a completely different book, Democracy in America.
	There was a study done in 1812 called the Bullfinch Study.
	A man named Charles Bullfinch was an architect, built a lot of things in Boston.
	He was actually a person who wanted to have government-run education.
	They kept pushing for it.
	A lot of the Unitarians in Harvard were pushing for it.
	And even before that, there was a large contingent before the Unitarians got into Harvard.
	Within Harvard, they wanted government-run schools.
	And they kept trying and they kept failing because people were doing it themselves.
	They were doing it with their churches.
	And in the study, they found that upwards of 96% of the kids in 1811, 1812 were educated through sixth grade privately.
	And the literacy qualitative content of the literacy was higher.
	If you think about the writings of Thomas Paine and how popular they were, the writings of Thomas Paine, if you were to extract it out and compare it now in a comparable population, it would be virtually everybody in the United States read Thomas Paine.
	pain back then.
	People were highly illiterate.
	And so they have very slowly wanted to push this onto kids and
	Sam and Charlotte, people like John Taylor Gatto, I can't forget him, my father, they not only talked about the systemic problems, the immorality and the systemic problems of the outcome-based education that was promulgated by many of these cultural Marxists and straight-out economic Marxists as well.
	But they also tried to highlight what was inside the pedagogy, the Dick and Jane books, which just give kids words to look at.
	So kids look at the first letter and the last letter, and I'll mention the word doctor.
	I've used this as an example because I learned from Sam examples to give to kids if they're young kids and they're diagnosed with so-called dyslexia.
	If you put the word doctor in front of a six-year-old, and I did this literally with a six-year-old child.
	I worked at a bookstore, and I mentioned this a couple times broadcasting, but this will show you the on-the-ground personal connection that this has and the effect it has from the top-down pedagogy down to the human level and how lives have been destroyed.
	Millions of human souls have had a harder time because of this centralization from the Department of Education, because this culture has...
	Has been fueled by Marxism and has helped foster it.
	They give kids an entire word to look at.
	So a woman comes into this bookstore where I'm working and she says, do you have any?
	She's with her grandson.
	She said, do you have any books on sharks?
	He loves ocean life.
	Do you have any books on ocean life?
	I said, yeah, how old is this little guy?
	She says, oh, he's six.
	So I bring her to the level two readers that we have at the bookstore for seven-year-olds and give them a step up.
	It was summertime.
	Give them something to read for second grade.
	She goes, oh, no, no.
	Oh, no, no.
	He has a problem.
	So clearly, the school system has told him he's learning disabled.
	He's got a problem in his brain already, right?
	Well, as you heard Alex say, this can be corrected.
	They had already, and I said, what do you mean?
	She goes, well, he's only reading in about a three-and-a-half-year-old level.
	This is the human tragedy that can be prevented.
	By eliminating this entire mindset and getting to parental control over education, to competitive systems where parents can see and others can see the responsiveness, and there is a drive for quality while prices are driven down, just like every other competitive market.
	I said, what do you mean?
	She goes, yeah, he's been diagnosed learning disabled.
	I said, do you mind if I try something with this little boy?
	She goes, sure.
	So I took a piece of paper, and people have probably seen me do this before on my program.
	I took a piece of paper, and I wrote the word doctor on it.
	And I'll do that right now with you here.
	D-O-C-T-O-R.
	Right? So, doctor.
	There's doctor.
	So I gave him the word, he looked down at it, and I said, buddy, can you tell me what that says?
	He says, uh, dinosaur?
	I said, ma'am, there's nothing wrong with this child.
	Because I knew Sam Blumenfeld.
	Sam Blumenfeld taught this next generation.
	And she said, what do you mean?
	I was like, he's not being taught phonics.
	The Phoenicians developed the alphabet.
	As Sam says, it's a sound symbol system.
	Letters stand for sounds.
	A stands for ah.
	It actually comes from the ox.
	Ah. I don't know why it's not O, but it stands for the horns of the ox.
	She said, I didn't know that.
	And I said, yeah, well, they've been teaching this for decades.
	Probably started when you were a child with the Dick and Jane books.
	She goes, oh, I had the Dick and Jane books.
	I was like, that's right.
	Let's watch this.
	I said, hey, buddy.
	So then I wrote DOC just on a separate piece of paper.
	I said, can you tell me what that says?
	Now, this is basic phonetics.
	This is the first phoneme.
	The DOC is the first syllable.
	A child of two and a half.
	Should be able to take the D, the O, and the C and go doc.
	Should be able to take the R and the A-T, r, at.
	And then take off, take the A-T, at, as a root.
	Put on s, cat, or s, sat.
	Once they learn what all the letters can do, then they can start to sound these things out.
	So I said, he goes, uh, and I said, just tell me, what does the first letter say?
	He goes, uh, that's a D. I was like, what's it say?
	He goes, duh.
	And I said, sound that too.
	Doc. Right.
	I was like, okay, now remember that.
	Go left to right.
	Doc. Right.
	Then I did the TOR.
	And he didn't, he still didn't, I did it in a separate piece of paper.
	He still didn't make the connection.
	A six-year-old child didn't know what I was doing.
	He should have been way ahead of me.
	He should have been able to read the word anyway.
	But seeing that process, the physical process in front of him, he should have known exactly what was going on.
	His eyes should have put him together himself.
	He hadn't been taught how to do that.
	I asked the woman, I said, in this child's class, do they have a list of words going around the class or a list of words and they tell people how many words the child knows?
	She goes, yeah.
	I was like, that's look, say.
	They have the memorized words with a picture.
	So they give him the word doctor and a picture of a doctor.
	Then I said, buddy, were you looking at the D and the R and guessing a word that you liked?
	Dinosaur? He said, yes.
	And I was like, yep, that's what Sam Blumenfeld says they do all the time.
	That's why the left-right hemispheres get screwed up.
	These people, Sam knew what he was doing.
	He wrote multiple books about this.
	Charlotte understood this.
	John Taylor Gatto understood this.
	My dad understood this.
	That's why they were in the trenches fighting the Department of Education.
	And so I said, T-O-R.
	And he got that.
	Tor. So I said, now, what happens if we put this piece of paper next to this piece of paper on the two separates, put them together?
	I was like, go left to right.
	Hit that first one like you're hitting something, like boom, boom.
	And he said, doc.
	And I was like, the next.
	Boom. Tor.
	Doc. Tor.
	And he goes, doctor!
	And he jumped as I moved the camera.
	He jumped.
	He said, doctor!
	And the woman said, what did you do?
	What did you do?
	I just taught him how to read.
	I was like, if you get this child a phonics game, if you go online and do phonics work with him every afternoon for an hour and make it a game, give him a prize every once in a while, every couple days, not all the time, but something special that helps him get interested in this, you're going to change this child's life.
	He won't be diagnosed learning disabled.
	He won't be drugged.
	And his life won't be ruined.
	So that one child, that one child, one child, his life was changed because his grandmother brought him into a bookstore rather than a school.
	And that's what these people have been fighting.
	And the Department of Education, the funding is going to continue.
	The pedagogy will continue.
	They're going to continue to fight until people realize there is no right.
	To the fruits of anyone else's labor, whether it's for education or not.
	Because once the government claims that, the government gets its pedagogy in.
	And let's finally get a little bit more from Thomas Sowell, who offers us this about the difference.
	How does this play out in the realm of something else you have written about?
	The difference in opinions about quality.
	Which is affirmative action.
	Exactly the same way.
	How does that process, what's the one, two, three, four on that?
	I haven't worked it out like that, but certainly there is no interest whatever in finding out empirically whether things have been made better or worse for minorities as a result of this program.
	And in fact, if you bring up evidence, they'll say, ah, but things would have been even worse had we not done this.
	Similarly with the war on poverty.
	You can show how dependency on government was going down, poverty was going down before this program was ever put in.
	And within a few years, Dependence on government was going up.
	And after a few more years, the absolute number of people in poverty was going up.
	How does this play out?
	So obviously, whether it's the war on poverty, whether it's education, you need to be able to have people connecting with people to see what the result is.
	And then other people need to be able to see what those results are so that they can actually see what works and what doesn't work.
	And finally, I'll give you this from Sam Blumenfeld.
	About some of the originators of this mindset.
	People like Bellamy and Mann and others.
	The people behind everything we're seeing right now.
	The minds, the collectivist minds in this generations-long fight that people think is over now and it's not.
	Stop that.
	It's too quiet.
	This is talking about John Dewey.
	I'll record that and put it out on my program tonight on Liberty Conspiracy.
	Now, let's talk a little bit more about how the government involvement in education is causing problems because there is a new ruling that is coming out about university records.
	Because, of course, the federal government funds universities unconstitutionally.
	And here it is.
	A judge has instructed Columbia University not to comply with Republican records request.
	A federal judge on Thursday temporarily barred Columbia University and Barnard College from complying with a Republican-led House committee's demand for student disciplinary records, at least until a hearing next week.
	Now, if this were a private school and Congress were demanding records from a private school, that would be a breach of the Fourth Amendment.
	No warrant.
	No, sorry.
	You can't even come on our property without our permission.
	But they get federal money.
	And as I've noted before, the concept of unconstitutional conditions is supposed to come into play.
	Where if you're getting a government benefit, the government is not supposed to tell you that you have to give up your claim to a certain right that is protected by the Constitution.
	If that were the case, they could tell us that we have to give up all our rights because they're so in debt, they could say that they're giving us manna from heaven.
	But in this case, these are clear examples, especially with Colombia, as we saw what's happened with Mahmoud Khalil and with others.
	Who have been pushed out of the United States, kidnapped by the federal government, simply for criticizing the federal government's involvement with genocide, asking for peace.
	They claim they're Hamas-aligned.
	They claim that they are potential terrorist threats.
	And they want the records for security's sake now.
	The Department of Health and Human Services is even involved with this because it could be a mental pathology to criticize the Zionist state of Israel.
	Because they'll claim you're ethnocentric.
	You hate Jewish people.
	How is that possible when you're just criticizing an abstract entity called a state?
	I don't know.
	To me, the people who are mentally unbalanced are the ones who make that unworthy leap, that unjustified leap.
	The judge's name here is Judge Aaron Subramanian.
	And the order from the judge comes as the judge prepares to review a request for a temporary restraining order filed by Columbia graduate student Mahmoud Khalil and other students seeking to block release of their records.
	He faces possible deportation, as you know, and...
	He, along with other students, sued earlier this month to prevent the House Committee on Education and the workforce from obtaining disciplinary records related to the demonstrations.
	Are these police records?
	No. This is college information.
	What other things will they get?
	Did they go to the university hospital?
	They're getting federal money?
	Maybe they could get your records.
	Well, we already know that through HIPAA, the federal government claims the power to get your medical records anyway.
	So that's a pretty big deal.
	And I'd love to get your thoughts on public education on the David Knight Show because as Handy says, no child gets ahead equals no child left behind inside Rockfin.
	Absolutely Handy.
	And Octospook writes this.
	And unfortunately, Octo, I'm going to disagree with you slightly here on phrasing because it accepts certain assumptions on the collective.
	He writes, education, not to just call you out here, but it is an example, I think, of one of the major problems here.
	And I don't know if it's just a matter of phrasing, but I'm going to use it as an example.
	Education is something which should be challenged by a vote of all.
	So you're talking about the polis.
	Well, then that's a non-starter.
	The polis forces people to pay whether they want it or not.
	And you're right back where you started from.
	You're starting from an immoral predicate.
	You're not going to get a good result.
	Even if you're a consequentialist, you're not going to get a good result because the result depends on who's in charge at the time.
	And even if you could, it starts from a lack of ethics and an immoral baseline.
	He says, do we want educated doctors, engineers, scientists, and people to care for us in old age?
	Or are idiots acceptable?
	Maybe to some people, idiots would be acceptable.
	I'm not going to prevent them from paying for idiots.
	And I'm not going to ask them to pay for my child's education because I think my teachers, the teachers I choose, are going to be geniuses.
	The collectivist we in the political system is immoral.
	It's the pronoun of forced inclusion.
	And it needs to be eliminated from any discourse.
	Between peaceful people.
	A peaceful person doesn't walk up to another person and say, hey, we are going to go do this, when the other person has no choice.
	Two people don't walk up to a third person and say, we are going to go for a ride now, and you're coming with us.
	That person's life is his own.
	His time is his own.
	I have no moral power to tell my neighbor what he's going to do with what God gave him.
	So, Octo, I hope again to dispel the notion of the collectivist we, because it leads and starts from a bad opening and it leads to bad endings.
	And in fact, let's get into even the supposed protection system of the United States.
	I want to turn now to a switch out from the collectivist government-run schooling system.
	To another issue that Donald Trump has to deal with in the courts.
	Yes, indeed.
	It's time for us to talk about the trans issue and the United States being a state of big confusion.
	Don't know why I feel so bad Is it the weather or am I going mad?
	Don't know why I feel this way I don't know whether I'm I don't know whether I'm
	coming out The Kinks.
	I always love the Kinks.
	I don't know whether they'll ever get back together.
	I heard some rumors that they were going to.
	Here's the story.
	I covered this for MRCTV a while back, and now another shoe has dropped.
	A while back, Donald Trump had issued an executive order saying that in the federal penitentiary system, no longer were they going to be holding men who were posing as women.
	And there are over a thousand males posing as women.
	Who have been housed in the federal penitentiary system.
	Unbelievable. Talk about lack of equal protection.
	Just ridiculous.
	Well, here's the story, and it's coming to us from the folks at U.S. News and World Report.
	Judge orders Trump administration to return two transgender inmates to women's prisons.
	A judge has ordered the Federal Bureau of Prisons to transfer two transgender women inmates, no, men posing as women, back to women's prisons after they had been sent to men's facilities in the wake of President Trump's executive order that truncated transgender protections,
	as they say there.
	And the argument on the part of the attorneys who represented some of these men posing as women was just like some of the arguments of attorneys representing teenagers who are posing as girls, males who are posing as girls.
	It's not equal protection.
	So they're saying that if the men are brought where the men are supposed to be, back to the male prisons, that they'll be at a disadvantage.
	Because the hormones that they take and just their general attitude makes them more effeminate and possibly weaker.
	So I pose the question in my MRCTV piece, does that mean we now have to split off and have in separate prison facilities guys who are over 6 feet and 250 pounds versus guys who are under 6 feet and under 250 pounds?
	Guys who are over 50 and maybe not quite as strong versus guys who are in their 20s and have been working out all the time?
	How do we distinguish that?
	That's absurd.
	It's a collectivist justice system.
	And this is the problem.
	Everybody argues over how it's going to work.
	And even people who aren't satisfied with it have to pay for it.
	And people don't shake themselves out of this mindset.
	This is the root of the problem.
	Collectivism. Here's the rest of the story.
	It's craziness.
	Out of New York, a judge on Wednesday ordered the Federal Bureau of Prisons to transfer two transgender men posing as women, inmates, back to federal women's prisons after they'd been sent to men's facilities in the wake of President Trump's executive order that truncated transgender protections,
	as they write in U.S. News.
	Transgender protections.
	Those are real protections for the women, don't you think?
	Oh, jeez.
	Judge Lamberth ordered the Federal Bureau of Prisons to immediately transfer the two women identified in court papers by the pseudonyms Rachel and Ellen Doe back to women's facilities and said the agency, the prison agency, must continue to provide them with hormone therapy at your expense for gender dysphoria.
	So again, how about...
	You are not charged for any of it, regardless of what the outcome is.
	Some people might think that it's extremely important to let these people express themselves in this way.
	Other people might be a little more realistic and say, this is completely unmanageable.
	But the unmanageable nature of it comes from the fact that people are forced to pay for it.
	And this is even on a federal level, for federal penitentiaries, they're running into these problems.
	They can't even manage how to jail people.
	Imagine. Imagine if you're caught for not paying for the prison system.
	You don't want to pay for it.
	Then they catch you for not paying your taxes and they throw you in federal prison.
	I didn't want to pay for this.
	No, sorry.
	And also on the LGBTQ side of things is the story of the military.
	The Daily News has this.
	Trump's transgender military ban blocked by a judge.
	There we go.
	This comes from Murray Asacheo from The Daily News.
	A federal judge in Washington, D.C., has blocked enforcement of President Donald Trump's executive order banning transgender people from serving or enlisting in the military.
	Yes, because when you've got a collectivist defense system, everybody's going to argue over how it works.
	There you go.
	And as I said yesterday, they will define for you what is your protection.
	Your satisfaction means nothing to them.
	And then they'll define what is a threat.
	Just like they're defining it now, people actually speaking for peace on college campuses, they're the threat.
	Oh, okay.
	Not the people with the government guns arresting them and taking them away.
	The decision issued by District Court Judge Anna Reyes on Tuesday was hailed by LGBTQ so-called rights advocates.
	Oh, man.
	And you know that they probably got plenty of money from USAID.
	It comes nearly a week after Ray's heard arguments on a motion for a preliminary injunction asking the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to block enforcement of Trump's cruel executive order while the future of the ban is decided in court.
	Earlier this year, the legal nonprofits GLAAD Law and National Center for Lesbian Rights filed a federal lawsuit.
	Challenging Trump's executive order on behalf of more than a dozen service members and enlistees across all branches of the military.
	Okay, so that is a little bit of our news, we'll call this a news flash, and we'll get into one other real quick one, because when it comes to the judges,
	There are a couple items that I want to mention.
	The pop rhetoric regarding the news on Trump's desire to impeach versus good points on deportations and accusations of arrest.
	And we'll hop over into some of that in our next segment on the program.
	But let me just give you the preview here.
	Enough's enough, Supremes, says the New York Post.
	Slap down judges' delusions of grandeur.
	Who should have more power, the President of the United States or a federal district judge, one of nearly 700 in a courthouse anywhere in the nation?
	Well, the separation of powers stipulates that every person in every branch swears an oath to the Constitution.
	If Trump is engaging in activities that are unconstitutional, then the Congress should impeach him.
	If the Congress tells the President to engage in unconstitutional activities and passes a bill, he is not supposed to enforce the bill.
	He's not supposed to do that.
	So Department of Education, he can totally defund it, and then they can try to impeach him if they don't like it.
	LGBTQ people in the prisons, he doesn't have to put them there.
	He can take them out, and then they can try to impeach him.
	LGBTQ people in the military, he doesn't have to put them there.
	He can take them out, and they can try to impeach him.
	The president, they write at the New York Post, is elected by millions.
	That doesn't matter.
	Empowered by the Constitution.
	There you go.
	To ensure the laws be faithfully executed.
	And they're supposed to be constitutional laws.
	Most district court judges get to their post because they know somebody who knows somebody.
	And so they don't like the judges telling Donald Trump what to do.
	Well, it's Donald Trump's prerogative to say, I don't have to do what the courts want me to do.
	It's very interesting.
	They've got a little something here from one of the networks, MSNBC, as they talk about Trump being rebuked by the Supreme Court Chief Justice about the separation of powers.
	And this has to do with the deportations.
	And they actually make some good points and some bad points.
	I want to give this to you to introduce the next segment on the program.
	Here we go.
	The country is following a mounting clash between the Trump administration's effort.
	To declare wartime powers.
	Powers to deport when there is no war.
	Exactly. Now, that was ruled unlawful by a federal judge.
	Then there were reports that Trump officials deliberately defied that judge's order.
	President Trump then unloading on that same judge, demanding his ousting through impeachment.
	All of this coming through in the past 24 hours on this story that we've been bringing you.
	Now, the court process part will take time.
	But as this clash escalated, legal experts wondered if and how the Supreme Court would view these blatant efforts to test or defy court orders, and would they weigh in in some manner or more quickly?
	Because Trump is accused here of not only obviously violating the law full stop, saying I have wartime powers when there's no war, but then furthermore, allegations and evidence that he would abuse power and try to intimidate that judge,
	pushing for the impeachment.
	Which is usually reserved, of course, for bribery or misconduct, nothing like this.
	But that might be a ploy to put pressure on judges or to oust them.
	Okay, so I just wanted to play that brief segment because there's a lot packed in there.
	First, he makes a very good point about the Alien Enemies Act.
	As I showed from the Tenth Amendment Center on my program, as I showed by actually looking at the statute on Wednesday here on the David Knight Show and on my program, Liberty Conspiracy, the statute, the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, applies only during declared war and invasions that are recognized by Congress.
	And they have to declare war.
	Then the president can cite the non-uniformed Residents or non-uniform citizens from other countries who are here in this country and say we're going to deport them.
	But it only applies during time of war.
	As they just mentioned there on MSNBC, they get that right.
	100%. I feel very comfortable in saying I'm in agreement.
	And there are very few people who are actually honestly bringing that up.
	And the Republicans, for some reason, who are all supposed to be about the Constitution and recognizing, honoring the founders, they don't want to talk about that.
	The declaration of war has to be there.
	It has a capital W because it's a term of art.
	You're not supposed to kill civilians and children and women and do terrible things to them, and yet they do it anyway.
	And the United States hasn't declared war since World War II.
	So what we see here is a good point being made by MSNBC and then deriding Donald Trump for doing what is actually in his prerogative as well, which is...
	He can't impeach them himself.
	He says, I want impeachment of these people.
	I would like Congress to impeach these judges.
	Even if he's wrong, he can still say it.
	And the process is not just for some sort of corruption.
	Like embezzlement or stealing or anything like that.
	If the judges are operating in an unconstitutional way, Congress has the prerogative to impeach them.
	The impeachment power was given to the House.
	People often say, well, there are co-equal branches of government.
	No, that's incorrect.
	The House has the most power because they can remove the others from their offices.
	They did that intentionally, the founders.
	And again, I am an anarchist.
	I am opposed to any human ruler.
	Anarchy. No human ruler over somebody else.
	But I'll recognize at least the decentralized system that they kind of had with the Constitution and the rules they promised shouldn't be broken.
	And it is the prerogative of the House of Representatives because the founders thought that they were closest to the people to impeach those others.
	And again, Donald Trump can negate the House and the Senate by not enforcing things that he sees.
	He has a duty to do that.
	And the judges can say, on appeal, you who have been arrested under the enforcement by the executive branch under such and such statute, we're going to let you go because we say that that statute's unconstitutional.
	And until sometime when there's a new population of judges here in this court, this will remain the way that the court rules.
	So they all have these little checks, but the major check comes from the House.
	If they find that the operations of those other people in the other houses are offensive to the Constitution, they can try to remove them.
	And then the Senate, of course, does the trials.
	So some good and bad from MSNBC there.
	I'd love to get your opinions.
	And feel free to drop your comments in.
	I like all the comments, and the Russians are telling us, I see Rattlesnake George says common law jurisdiction was usurped, yes, by maritime admiralty law jurisdiction in 1938.
	Boy, do you know your stuff, Rattlesnake.
	Thank you very, very much.
	Absolutely right.
	And... Let's see, we've got a lot of comments from a lot of people here.
	I see also, I can't believe put a nice greeting in there as well.
	Thank you very much.
	And on Rockfin...
	Let's see.
	We've got a lot of good people watching on Rockton.
	Remember, if you want to donate, we're hoping that donations go through Rumble right now.
	That's definitely the way to do it.
	Rumble has been really smooth for David recently, and that's been awesome.
	They really smooth things out.
	It's terrific.
	I want to thank Little Ford Schoolhouse for being in there.
	And Brian, Deb, good to see you.
	I hope things are going well for you.
	Gonzo Johnny inside Rumble.
	Appreciate that.
	He says, don't tell another how to live or rule another.
	Absolutely. Absolutely right.
	Yep. And we've got, oh, interesting, interesting.
	We've got this comment here.
	Swamp Lover says, we no longer need Congress.
	We have King Trump to decide everything.
	Oh, that's fantastic.
	Thanks so much for joining me on the David Knight Show.
	It's been absolutely fantastic to be here this week, and what a terrific time.
	Please keep in mind also that the David Knight Show has the really great, great appeal now of offering you the opportunity, I'm going to show you this later, to get that really cool collectible David Knight coin.
	I want to play the ad for that right now.
	I mean, the team will play the ad.
	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.
	And I happen to have it right here.
	Check it out one and all.
	I hope you like it.
	It's beautiful.
	Absolutely wonderful design.
	There's the front and there is the back.
	Fantastic. I love that very, very much as much as I love the David Knight music, which is also fantastic.
	Remember, at 11 o'clock, Gerald Salente will be joining us.
	Now, let's hear some more of those great David Knight compositions with music from Last of the Mohicans.
	of the Mohicans.
	Last of the Mohicans.
	you
	Making sense.
	Common again.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Great stuff.
	Wow. Jeff's phenomenal.
	Oh, man.
	I wish I had David's skills.
	I love hearing his stories about playing jazz and so on.
	I know he would have got along real well with my dad.
	That's for darn sure.
	You know, I spotted something I want to share with you just real quick.
	It's kind of a funny item over on my ex-feed.
	Che Bose, who's the host of Moscow Mules on RT.
	You know, those evil Russians.
	He's an Irish comedian, and he lives over in Russia now.
	He's done great journalism.
	He's very funny as well.
	And he has this.
	He says, breaking.
	UK police have released images of two people seen wearing stolen jewels from India and South Africa in central London yesterday.
	They're both unemployed and totally reliant on state benefits.
	Classic. Oh, you can't go wrong with that.
	And by the way, if you do have stories about some of your favorite teachers or something happened for you, I'm reserving my little story for when I talk to Gerald about public education.
	It is interesting.
	Hopefully we'll see maybe something as an outcome from the public education, Department of Education being pared down a little bit to more choice.
	But that, again, it really doesn't go far enough.
	Unless one addresses any sort of political involvement in education, the political involvement is going to steer it towards perpetuating the polis and increasing the size of the polis and generating minds that are focused on what the government I want to continue talking about that Alien Enemies Act story because it's breaking even more.
	Wait till you see this.
	It's amazing.
	A man has been deported under the Alien Enemies Act.
	Again, all you have to do there is just say, wait, is there a declaration of war?
	Okay, we're done.
	I don't have to think about it anymore.
	But there's more because of a soccer logo tattoo.
	Did he commit any crime?
	No. This is amazing.
	And it mixes in because I know some people sentimentally might say, well, the federal government can control immigration.
	Again, I'll challenge anybody in the immigration department to find the word immigration in the U.S. Constitution.
	I'll be waiting.
	I'll be waiting.
	I already lost my hair because of the weight, I guess.
	I don't know.
	An attorney representing a migrant sent to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act says her client was deported due to a soccer logo tattoo.
	Now, this is what the attorney is saying, but it should be irrelevant what the attorney says because she shouldn't have been deported by the federal government, according to court declarations submitted Wednesday night.
	Lynette Tobin is representing Jers Reis Barrios, a professional soccer player from Venezuela who protested the Maduro regime in February and March 2024 and was detained and tortured after one of the demonstrations.
	Barrios came to the U.S.-Mexico border legally through the CBP1 app.
	Remember the one for people looking for some sort of sanctuary?
	That the Biden administration used your money to pay for?
	Again, there's a difference between allowing people to come in and not forcing my neighbor to pay for some policing agency that is going to be guarding a wall that is paid for by my taxes and your taxes.
	That's a different thing than actually paying for people to come in here and stay in hotels.
	She's representing Ms. Barrios.
	She was brought in thanks to the One app in September, and this woman has been accused of being a Tren de Aragua, or TDA, member and was detained at a facility under maximum security, Tobin said.
	The Biden administration expanded the use of the CBP1 phone application to allow migrants to submit some background information and schedule appointments with immigration officials at ports of entry.
	Now, the CBP1 app really only applies to migrants coming in from certain Caribbean nations.
	And originally it was, I think, Cuba.
	Bolivia and Panama.
	I think that's what it was.
	South American and Caribbean nations.
	But they've expanded it.
	Cuba, Brazil, and Panama, I think it was.
	But they expanded it now, so there are a few more countries.
	So if someone's coming in, say, from the Middle East and they want to get the CBP, they can't get it.
	But those are all distinctions without a difference, or distinctions without a difference, because there should be no such thing.
	No one has a right to take your money, again, to fund something that's going to facilitate an easier trip into a country or across state borders or anything.
	You know, I don't get subsidized if I want to move somewhere.
	You don't get subsidized, right?
	So this shouldn't happen regardless of the rationale and how noble it is that a woman should be able to leave a country and move someplace else.
	Remove the impediments of her being able to freely associate with people.
	Don't charge my neighbor to create a wall where only the government decides where they want the wall.
	It doesn't show that anybody actually wants the wall there because the taxpayer is being forced to pay for the wall.
	That doesn't allow them to show their valuations.
	And it's all just based on what the government says the American people want.
	And whoever's in charge of the government.
	So this is a troubling thing.
	And this Alien Enemies Act, again, if you want a really good video on this, watch the 10th Amendment video on this.
	And I also have produced videos for Liberty Conspiracy about this.
	But it stems from this big, big push.
	That combines both the immigration control that so many of the Republicans and MAGA people want through the centralized authority, which I thought they didn't want, but they do want this for immigration.
	They have not amended the U.S. Constitution.
	It's not a federal purview, but they want it.
	And the way that they're getting away with deporting these people is by further injuring the constitutional system by claiming the Alien Enemies Act.
	And it has to be during wartime.
	Well, let me just show you one of the things that...
	That is the focus of what they do not like.
	So we're going to talk right now about warfare.
	And I want to give you some examples of how the United States freedom of speech is being crushed during a time of non-war.
	What? Who?
	Yeah. What is it good for?
	Absolutely nothing.
	Uh-huh. What?
	Yeah. What is it good for?
	Absolutely. Nothing.
	Say it again, y'all.
	What? Look out.
	What is it good for?
	Absolutely. Nothing.
	Listen to me.
	What? Yeah,
	that's right.
	All right.
	Well, let's take a look at what's been happening in Tel Aviv.
	As it's not just Americans who are protesting what's been going on with the government of Israel.
	The streets are packed with people in Tel Aviv who want Benjamin Netanyahu gone.
	Here's a look at what it looks like right now.
	Suppressed news.
	For three consecutive days, protests against Netanyahu continued in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, despite bad weather and rain.
	Israeli police responded by attacking demonstrators, damaging their vehicles, and arresting several.
	And you can see them smashing on cars.
	It is just an absolute madhouse there.
	Here's some of the people on the street.
	It's happening there.
	And if Netanyahu leaves, then he will probably be prosecuted, just like they're prosecuting his wife.
	And yet Netanyahu got together, as we saw yesterday, with Fetterman.
	Fetterman got together with a man who has been cited.
	Around the world for being a war criminal.
	And we've got more on that.
	In fact, as the International Criminal Court is claiming that, and I think justifiably so, that Israel is a rogue nation.
	Let's see this.
	The IDF, destroying food.
	Here we go.
	This is testimony.
	Take it for what it is.
	I interviewed an IDF reservist, says Jeremy Lafredo.
	I interviewed a reservist while he was actively blocking humanitarian aid at the Gaza border crossing.
	He had recently returned from Gaza and on camera admitted that he had blown up and destroyed UN offices responsible for assisting families affected by the war.
	So he wrote, he says this.
	Let me just go through this.
	We've been training for one month and then we...
	I'll bring the volume down and just read it.
	He says...
	We've been training for one month, and then we got inside Gaza.
	And then we were there for two months.
	My unit was in charge of explosions.
	We blew up houses of terrorists.
	Of course, no one was given any trial.
	Mosques, UN offices.
	I remember we got into some UN office.
	And that was in charge of helping families in Gaza that were affected by the war.
	And we destroyed it.
	Of course.
	Well, hey, I mean, if they're going to shoot and snipe at people with the World Kitchen, if they're going to blow up food tents, they tell people to go to RAFA.
	And as I mentioned, going to shelter in schools and then they blow those up.
	Maybe, just maybe, they're not doing the right thing.
	And maybe, just maybe, seeing the United States fund anybody unconstitutionally might be something that the people who swear the oath to the Constitution might want to keep in mind.
	Now, I want to take a quick look at a couple other...
	Big items that I think are pretty important.
	This one over at Antiwar.com.
	I mentioned this yesterday, and I hope that I can remind people to see this article, Antiwar.
	American surgeon in Gaza describes his experience when Israel restarted massive bombing.
	Just unbelievable.
	Feroz Sidwa giving stunning, stunning explanations as to what things were like there.
	It's... Really, really awful.
	And I also want to point out that the U.S. battleship off the coast of Yemen was done in coordination with the Israeli government.
	As Dave DeCamp brought up, and I want to remind you this.
	According to the Israeli news site Ynet, the U.S. told Israel not to respond to Houthi missile attacks, saying leave it to us.
	Alright, some brief touches.
	I know Gerald will want to talk about this more.
	And then we have the United States and the EU and NATO.
	Now recall, NATO is supposedly...
	Well, here's a little blush about Donald Trump's silly idea for eggs.
	You know, because the United States government has ordered so many chickens destroyed over the past couple of years that it comes out to something like 60 billion eggs.
	If you go by the number of eggs that one chicken can lay in a year, a hen.
	NATO ally.
	Finland turned down Trump's plea for eggs.
	Trump figured, oh, you know how I'll bring the price of eggs down?
	I'll take more tax money.
	I'll make the U.S. government go into greater debt and reduce the buying power of all your dollars because there's going to be more debt instruments put out there and the Fed's going to print more money to buy them.
	And I will have the U.S. government buy eggs from foreign countries.
	Yeah, well, Finland has refused to export eggs to the U.S. Citing regulatory hurdles and supply constraints.
	Isn't it great to be able to get what you want?
	Now why would there be regulatory hurdles for foreign eggs?
	I wonder.
	Maybe because domestic suppliers want those barriers to foreign entry.
	Just like tariffs.
	It's all a game.
	It's all a game.
	Now, let's talk about the future of NATO.
	Because the future of NATO is looking kind of iffy.
	And instead, what are we getting?
	We're getting conversations inside the EU, this coming from the Financial Times, that the EU wants to have its own military.
	Let me show you this over on X. In fact, there are a lot of posts about this on X. European military powers work on a five to ten year plan to replace the United States in NATO.
	And they're going to start a European military that they want to cook up.
	The European Council has stressed that they want to have their own military within five to ten years.
	Now, I don't think that's going to give enough time for Ukraine.
	Ukraine is on its last legs regarding the battle against Russia that it actually started in 2014 at the behest of Americans and with the help of Americans after the Americans overthrew the elected government there in late 2013.
	And so we're going to see the EU further impoverishing its people as, you got it, they make sure that they're going to start up their own military.
	Well, I don't think that that is going to happen.
	And hey, maybe it won't happen because Donald Trump might get in for a third term.
	What? Yeah, let me show you this.
	I didn't get a chance to show you this yesterday on the David Dice Show.
	Here is Chris Cuomo.
	And again, disclaimer, my nephew Cord is one of the producers for Chris Cuomo's show with Steve Bannon.
	And I got to hand it to Cuomo.
	He was very relaxed, but he asked some very good questions here of Bannon, who just cannot stop himself from trying to tease people.
	And it's almost like a circus barker way.
	Here we go.
	I'm a firm believer that President Trump will run and win again in 2028.
	So I've already endorsed President Trump.
	A man like this comes along once every century if we're lucky.
	We've got him now.
	He's on fire, and I'm a huge supporter.
	I want to see him again in 2028.
	And obviously, anybody who doesn't like what you say but judges it at a function of a lack of intelligence doesn't know anything about you.
	I don't make that mistake.
	You're a smart guy.
	You know he's term-limited.
	How do you think he gets another term?
	We're working on it.
	I think we'll have a couple of alternatives, let's say that.
	We'll see what the definition of term limit is.
	It depends on what the meaning of the word is, is, right?
	All right.
	Well, so you're talking about litigating this issue because I don't want people to listen to our interview and say, Bannon's cooking up an insurrection.
	Bannon is cooking up.
	You know what I mean?
	I want people to get a straight take on where your head is.
	What are you suggesting?
	Chris, as you know, I've had greater long shots than this.
	We supported President Trump after the election.
	I realize you don't believe the election in 2020 was stolen.
	We do.
	We fervently believe that.
	All right, so that's some okay, some pretty good dynamic thinking and quick takes from Chris Cuomo.
	Now, let me show you, and this is such a classic example.
	This is how CBS News has changed.
	You know, I do work for the Media Research Center.
	Watch as these guys do what one person can do.
	One person gives a bit of a phrase, the next gives a bit of a phrase as we go into this next story.
	Check this out.
	This is amazing.
	The Coast Guard today showed off nearly 46,000 pounds of illegal drugs seized in the Eastern Pacific.
	The drugs, including more than 12,000 pounds of cocaine, are worth more than half a billion dollars.
	The President's crackdown on drug trafficking includes designating cartels as terrorist organizations.
	Justice Correspondent Scott McFarlane got a look inside the administration's war on drugs.
	No wonder they're losing money all over the place.
	They got two guys doing what one kid could do.
	Oh, man.
	And, of course, they're propping up the fallacious idea that the U.S. government should have something to do with interdicting a substance from coming into the United States.
	Where is that?
	Inside the headquarters of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, the walls are covered from nearly floor to ceiling with pictures of Americans killed by fentanyl.
	It's not a red or a blue issue.
	It's red, white, and blue.
	If you look at these walls...
	The man in charge, Derek Maltz, keeps even more photos on his phone.
	These photos in your phone?
	You look at these regularly?
	Yes, because it inspires me.
	Maltz's big assignment of stopping drugs from crossing the border just got bigger.
	As the Trump administration has formally declared eight Latin American cartels to be foreign terrorist organizations.
	It seems to be equating them with ISIS, Bin Laden.
	Is that an accurate comparison?
	150 percent.
	And I've been saying this for years.
	And this is why.
	If you look at the numbers, we're losing 100,000 plus Americans every year to these dangerous substances that are coming into this country.
	So we'll just stop it there again.
	There is absolutely zero constitutionality behind any of it, behind that guy's position.
	And that reporter does a disservice to his audience by not saying, can you cite for me the passage of the U.S. Constitution that gives you any of this power?
	Can you tell me the amorphous definition of terrorism today?
	Because it might change later this afternoon or tomorrow.
	Where do you get the authority to tell someone they've got to pay for drug interdiction because you think this stuff is dangerous?
	There are a lot of dangerous things out there.
	You're going to interdict all those too?
	Tell me, did prohibition work when they applied it to alcohol?
	How has prohibition worked on prostitution?
	In Canada, when they increased the taxes on cigarettes, Did they stop buying cigarettes or was a black market in cigarettes created that the RCMP then devoted time to interdict the cigarettes?
	Collectivist defense, collectivist protection.
	You don't get a choice, but it's for your own good.
	Classic. Great.
	The administration hopes by designating the cartel's terror groups, they'll starve off some of the money used to make and traffic the pills.
	Let me make this clear.
	The cartel's motive is to make as much money as...
	Hey, Codex.
	Could use a little help with the alarms.
	Hold on.
	I've never said they can, but they really don't care of the collateral damage.
	That's well established.
	This is the course of doing business.
	If they kill 100,000 Americans, but they make billions of dollars, that's okay with them.
	Now, I know some people might have started to think about foreigners and the military-industrial complex, but dispel that notion!
	Do not think about those things.
	Unbelievable. Now, one of the things I want to bring up when it comes to morality and it comes to government funding and things like that pertains to this connection between the federal government and universities.
	And so I'd like to draw your attention to the MRCTV website.
	And over at MRCTV, I'm not on staff with MRCTV, but...
	I'm a person that I'm on contract with them and I do three stories a week, two videos a week with them.
	And so I want to give you two of the stories.
	You can see some of the latest over there.
	One of these, David covered this last week.
	I was hoping to talk about it last week.
	Got to finally write about it over the weekend.
	The climate cult is slicing through the Amazon, as we mentioned, simply for COP30 so that they can have an easier ride through the Amazon.
	And we talked about government control of roads and how that wasn't really the tradition originally in the United States.
	This other story I'm going to talk about in a moment to wrap up this hour about privacy.
	And again, This whole idea of the government can invade your privacy for the greater good, for the security of the nation.
	This has to do with, you got it, the drug cartels.
	And I want to go to this, however.
	So we'll tie back into this story of the DEA and so on in a minute.
	But I want to talk about the universities because this is a fairly...
	Major story.
	And it's not getting a lot of attention, at least in my opinion.
	Tax-subsidized University of Washington hands out abortion pills without medical exam.
	So let me show you this one from MRCTV.
	Advocates for baby killing have an uncanny ability of expanding the ways they can offend people who actually believe in life.
	Case in point, the University of Washington's Husky Health Center, which recently began offering abortion pills to students without requiring an ultrasound or in-person medical examination, a move that has piled controversy upon controversy and raised questions about medical ethics and taxpayer responsibility.
	accessibility. Thank you.
	Hi, everyone.
	I'm Gardner Goldsmith for MRCTV, and here's the story.
	Owen Girard reports for the College Fix that this new policy, implemented on February 10th of this year, allows students up to 10 weeks pregnant to obtain prescriptions for mifepristone and mesoprostol,
	drugs used to induce chemical abortions, and they can get them free of charge.
	Through the University Health Center.
	If private companies were to do this, the sale would be disreputable and might inspire people to stay away from the places selling the deadly drugs.
	But the actual sale of the drugs is not an aggressive act.
	Taking the pill when pregnant is the aggressive act.
	But the University of Washington receives taxpayer money, which itself is an act of aggression.
	And then they direct that tax money toward buying the deadly drugs and handing them to students for so-called free.
	That aggression and the forced taxpayer subsidy of abortion should be enough to energize moral people to oppose every facet of this practice.
	But the added policy of not even requiring an ultrasound or in-person medical exam vastly increases the risk of physical, possibly life-threatening harm to the mother who is making the profound
	error of trying to kill her child.
	Critics, including pro-life advocates and medical experts, have labeled this as medical malpractice, arguing that it The University of Washington
	process is simple and it's alarming.
	Students visit The Husky Health Center receive a prescription without an ultrasound and take the pills in their dorms or elsewhere, often without immediate medical supervision.
	Mifepristone then blocks progesterone to halt pregnancy growth, while misoprostol induces uterine cramping to expel the pregnancy, a painful bloody process.
	That the woman usually undergoes alone on a toilet.
	Girard correctly notes that this could pose serious health risks to women seeking a chemical abortion at the university.
	Quote, Tessa Cox, senior associate at pro-life Charlotte Lozier Institute, told The Fix that without in-person medical exams, Doctors aren't able to screen for health complications, such as an ectopic pregnancy,
	which could impact the efficacy and safety of abortion pills.
	And Cox also told The Fix, Moreover, around 3-7% of the time, abortion drugs fail to completely expel the dead baby and pregnancy tissue, which can require follow-up surgery or lead to hemorrhage and infection.
	If untreated, studies have found that abortion drugs have four times the complication rate of surgical abortion.
	These risks only increase with advanced pregnancy and lack of medical supervision, end quote.
	Similarly, Esther Ripplinger, president of Human Life of Washington, called the practice an affront to women's intelligence, arguing that offering abortion pills without full disclosure of risks constitutes malpractice.
	Adding another layer to the controversy is the University of Washington's status as a public institution.
	In 2024, the university received over $1.2 billion in state and federal tax funding, according to its financial reports.
	This means that every taxpayer in Washington, and to an extent the nation, indirectly supports the Husky Health Center's operations, including its new abortion pill policy.
	For those who oppose abortion on ethical or medical grounds, this raises a troubling question.
	Why should their tax dollars fund a practice they view as reckless or immoral?
	And for those who see the immorality of the tax taking in the first place, one can acknowledge that the act of taking the money is unethical, regardless of the object, act, or person who receives that money.
	Advocates such as Ripplinger are urging pro-lifers to fight back through legal challenges, through campaigns and advocacy, even as the Washington legislature actually debates making the ethical morass even deeper and wider with something called Senate Bill 5321,
	a bill resurrected from its death last year and which would mandate abortion pill access at all public places.
	Meanwhile, the University of Washington's decision sets a precedent that could ripple across other tax-funded campuses.
	As the debate intensifies, it's clear that this policy not only affects students but also draws every taxpayer into a polarizing moral and medical fray.
	One where the lines between access, safety, and responsibility remain fiercely contested and taxpayers subsidize the commercial success of the abortion pill mill.
	Thanks for watching, everyone.
	Please like and subscribe.
	Share this far and wide.
	Find us on Rumble where they don't censor us.
	We are still on YouTube, but of course, YouTube is sometimes problematic.
	Yeah, that's for sure.
	That's for darn sure.
	I was just speaking with some of the folks down in Washington at MRCTV, and they're again getting slammed by YouTube.
	Unbelievable. One of the folks I know down there says, you have no idea the legal paperwork we've got to go through.
	And they have teams of attorneys, but he has to sign off and all this stuff.
	It's ridiculous.
	So I found that to be something I really wanted to make sure that I had the...
	I want to bring back that story about the drug interdiction and the labeling of terrorists and things like that and show just how long this sort of thing has been going on and how invasive.
	This is in an utterly unconstitutional way.
	What is the Fourth Amendment for?
	I guess nothing other than to put in the number four like Sesame Street.
	This story, mandatory reporting threshold for some U.S. banks is now $200 withdrawals.
	Unbelievable. These are in 30 zip codes in the Southwest.
	One of the key theses forming the heart of The Economist and historian Robert Higgs' monumental 1987 book, Crisis and Leviathan, is that politicians tend to create or promote tales of crises that only the government can solve.
	Each purported crisis sees them push for bigger government control over civilians, and each new claim of power is never relinquished, leading to the term Higgs coined, the ratcheting effect.
	We're seeing it now.
	As every new government usurpation and assault on rights piles atop the last.
	Thanks to the reporting of a handful of Americans, we have information on an alarming effect caused by an executive order targeting foreign drug cartels.
	Hence, we have our mighty DEA and their wonderful interdiction all at your expense.
	Maybe you have other ideas on where you'd like to send your money.
	How about that?
	How about not enslaving your children?
	That would be cool.
	Reasons Joe Lancaster explains, quote, one of President Donald Trump's day one executive orders designated, quote, certain international cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, a classification that according to the State Department plays a critical role in our fight against terrorism and is an effective means of curtailing support.
	for terrorist activities and pressuring groups to get out of the terrorism business.
	Isn't that nice?
	The terrorism business.
	I don't know.
	To me, that's an oxymoron, but, you know, maybe people in government understand that they operate by terrorizing the taxpayer.
	The claim leverages contemporary American frustration, I wrote, over foreign migrant gangs coming into the U.S. and applies muscle to that leverage with the ever-present American frustration concerning the use of dangerous drugs.
	As a result, the move has not received a lot of scrutiny over its scope.
	And few U.S. presidents who have preceded Mr. Trump on this path have received proper questioning over their acts either.
	Writes Lancaster, for reason, the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, FinCEN, you know, Benjamin Franklin would have been proud, announced a new rule cracking down on cash transactions this week,
	but only...
	No matter the administration's intent to target cartels, writes Reason, the rule will expand government surveillance of its citizens.
	Henderson continues, FinCEN issued a geographic targeting order, GTO.
	And I don't mean the Beach Boys, to further combat the illicit activities and money laundering of Mexico-based cartels and other criminal actors along the southwest border of the United States, according to the announcement.
	The GTO requires all money service businesses located...
	in 30 zip codes across California and Texas near the southwest border to file what they call currency transaction reports or CTRs with FinCEN at a $200 threshold.
	So as I mentioned previously, and I talked about this on Liberty Conspiracy as well, again, 6 o'clock Monday through Friday on Rumble.
	Check it out.
	Or you can follow me on x at guard goldsmith.
	This is going to basically make it such that it's so expensive for the banks to flag every one of those $200 transactions and have somebody go through it.
	They're just going to automate it and just automatically send those flags to the government.
	There'll be automated systems to do it.
	People will do it in programming.
	So the government will automatically get this information.
	That's right, I wrote, $200, which makes much more visible the previously lesser-noticed FinCEN invasion of privacy, but leaves unscrutinized the linguistic ledger domain, driving such virtually unlimited snooping power.
	This move substantially grows the police state.
	In any of these 30 zip codes, one's measly withdrawal for a weekend barbecue...
	Now could land his name and bank account on Uncle Sam's naughty list.
	And regardless of the purported goal, it engages in the same kind of warrantless snooping that last year saw author James Bovard sound the alarm about the Know Your Customer dragnet being thrown around conservatives.
	In a July 2024 article for the Future of Freedom Foundation entitled, Buy a Bible, Become a Terror Suspect, Bovard warned of this ever-changing, politically expedient federal snooping and reporting weapon.
	Quote, After the January 6th Capitol Clash in 2021, the Biden administration targeted average Americans as if they were would-be terrorists.
	And they're doing the same thing now on college campuses with the Alien Enemies Act.
	And they're not, it doesn't matter whether they're American citizens or not.
	The First Amendment prohibits Congress from abridging anybody's freedom of speech.
	The Fourth Amendment requires warrants for any search, not just searches of Americans.
	I hope I can convince more people of this in a peaceful way.
	That I can entice them to look into this information and get satisfaction out of the learning, out of the scholarship, and take it with them.
	Again, if I don't even win anything inside of any political arena in a legislature, at least I've spoken for the truth.
	That's cool.
	I'm fine with that.
	So the Treasury Department's FinCEN bloated its definitions of suspicious behavior, wrote James Bovard in 2024, warning banks to track what they called extremism indignity.
	Well, that's not up to you and the government to decide what the purpose is.
	The purchase of books was also included, and that included religious texts.
	And, wrote James Bovard in July of 2024, the House Judiciary Committee announced this in a January report of this year.
	As Fox News reported, FinCEN, quote, distributed materials to financial institutions That outlined typologies of various persons of interest and provided the banks with suggested search terms and merchant category codes for identifying transactions on behalf of federal law enforcement.
	So I don't know, maybe they'll go after you if you have a soccer tattoo now.
	They could do that too.
	But... I wrote, some supporters of this new mandate might say, this is different now.
	These are drug lords in a foreign nation or illegal immigrants, and they might be laundering money.
	Laundering money.
	I said, constitutionally, none of that matters.
	When it comes to the powers clearly defined by the U.S. Constitution, the purported wickedness of the target of such unconstitutional activity does not justify the activity.
	James Bovard went on last year to outline how the Bidenistas, who feared and still fear gun owners and would like to see a war on, as they call, gun violence, how they leveraged FinCEN for their purposes.
	Bovard wrote, quote, If you bought a gun or ammo since 2021, Team Biden bureaucrats may have automatically classified you as a potential active shooter.
	Or maybe your purchases triggered lone actor, homegrown, violent extremism indicators.
	And he added, FinCEN encouraged banks to use terms such as Trump and MAGA for identifying transactions on behalf of federal law enforcement, according to the House Judiciary Committee.
	Committee Chairman Representative Jim Jordan complained, quote, this kind of pervasive financial
	How about you apply that to universities?
	That would be nice.
	How about you not use the Alien Enemies Act as an excuse to round people up and kidnap them?
	How about you look at the Constitution and realize there's no federal control over immigration?
	I want to just give a bit more history here for you because I said, oblivious to the constitutional problems, many Americans might have supported what kind of started this off.
	The 1952 Cold War era establishment of a federal mandate that, as Reasons Lancaster notes, first began requiring banks to log and report all cash transactions of $10,000 or more.
	And many Americans might have supported Richard Nixon in 1970 when he and Congress established the Drug War Supporting Bank Secrecy Act, also known as the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act,
	requiring U.S.-based financial institutions to, as they put it, assist the federal government in detecting And preventing money laundering.
	In other words, circumventing the Fourth Amendment.
	Specifically, the Act required and still requires financial institutions to keep records of cash purchases of negotiable instruments, those are CDs, promissory notes, and traveler's checks, to file reports if the daily aggregate per customer exceeds $10,000.
	And they have to report what they call suspicious activity that may signify money laundering, tax evasion, or other activities that Feds deem criminal.
	Shortly after passage, several groups brought suit for the clear violation of the First Amendment, mandating that the banks keep records, violation of the Fourth Amendment, handing over the records, violation of the Fifth Amendment, protection against self-incrimination, and more.
	But the Supreme Court of the United States in the disastrous 1974 case called California Bankers Association v.
	Schultz ruled otherwise on every valid claim.
	Since then, Congress has expanded the Know Your Customer edict several times, including provisions in Title III of the vaunted and wonderful USA Patriot Act of 2001.
	And we all know how wonderful that's been.
	So don't forget, government, they tell us, is there for your protection, and if you don't want to pay for the protection, well, you'll see what the protection is like.
	That's a little nugget of philosophy to undercut what people think is a natural rights philosophy from John Locke, and it's not.
	It's an excuse for statism.
	And again, there's no such thing as self-government in the United States as...
	A result of the American Revolution.
	As wonderful as their efforts were, self-government is you controlling yourself.
	What they mean by self-government is just a government separate from Britain.
	And we've seen where that's gone.
	So I hope you'll check that out if you get the opportunity you want more.
	I'm going to just stop it there.
	I just wanted to give you some of that history.
	James Bovard, give him a big plug.
	And bring that in as we saw that story of the drug interdiction.
	And just to remind people, again, this has been a decades-long so-called war on drugs.
	It has destroyed civil liberties.
	It has destroyed families.
	Joe Biden was one of the key proponents, and he claimed one of the key writers of the three-strikes law that destroyed families, saw high-speed chases, many deaths, and people imprisoned for decades.
	And you had to pay for it.
	And now you have to pay for the arguments over whether men are going to be put in women's federal penitentiaries again.
	Unless the collectivist mindset is questioned, these things are going to be perennial.
	And at least with the federalist system that they had, there are fewer of these questions that should be answered within the collectivist system.
	They can be separated, and we can test things in the federalist system.
	States can have different policies.
	Towns can have different policies.
	And then you can see which works.
	But they don't want that because they're collectivists.
	And if you run into conservatives who tell you that they've got to protect America from so-called terrorist language that is Hamas-aligned, however that is, just remember and please tell them the United States funded Hamas to the tunes of millions of dollars,
	helped them get into power, and Netanyahu is on record as wanting to make sure the leadership in Qatar got money.
	And the occupying force...
	Is the Israeli state that was put in with tax money from the United States, Great Britain, and others.
	It's all offensive.
	All of it.
	It's an incredible thing to think about that we not only stand on the shoulders of giants from the American Revolution, but we have been repeatedly, generation after generation, me, my father working in Washington to try to eliminate the Department of Education with Charlotte Iserbeet and Sam Blumenfeld.
	We have been hit and hit and hit over and over again, stomped on by the boot.
	So it's just something to keep in mind.
	I try to be as positive as possible about it.
	I think about my dad.
	I think about what a great guy he was and the wonderful people he met.
	And that's really important to me.
	And, you know, it's the kind of thing that hopefully people take with them and keep as a positive.
	But again, you know, the fight, it's strong.
	And in fact, as a little reminder, as we get ready to talk to a really strong man, let's hear from something that might keep in mind, that patriotic spirit.
	that david put together so
	It's your move.
	And now, The David Knight Show.
	Alright, and joining us now, we get the opportunity...
	to speak to a man I respect greatly and admire greatly.
	He is the great Gerald Salente, speaking to us from Kingston, New York, the four corners of history.
	Gerald, welcome back to The David Knight Show.
	I salute you from afar, from New Hampshire, and it's great to see you again after I saw you a few months ago down in Kingston.
	Welcome to the show, Gerald.
	Thank you, and thank you for your kind words, and thank you for coming to the...
	The Occupy Peace Rally.
	It was wonderful.
	I loved being able to see you there.
	It was great to see Scott Ritter.
	The video from Roger Waters was phenomenal.
	And what a crowd.
	You put on a great show, Gerald.
	A great show.
	Thank you.
	You know, it's so sad that there's no real...
	You know, we're doing...
	I'm a one-man show.
	I mean, you know, we had Judge Napolitano, Scott Ritter.
	He said, you know...
	Randy Critico brought Roger Waters there on a live stream.
	And there's no support.
	There's no real big support.
	Could you imagine if the billionaires put a billion dollars for peace?
	We'd have it tomorrow.
	Absolutely. We'd have it tomorrow.
	Not a penny.
	You know, one of my tenants, and you were there, you see the beautiful buildings I have on the four corners of freedom.
	Four Corners in America with pre-Revolutionary War stone buildings.
	One of them I rented out for a number of years to Warren Buffett's son, Peter Buffett.
	Never gave me a penny for peace.
	Not a penny for peace.
	They have so many other things on their agenda, don't they?
	Not a penny for peace.
	And again, an arrogant guy.
	He never even would say hello.
	I'm the landlord.
	He wouldn't say hello to me.
	I'm only a little guinea from the Bronx.
	Don't you know who my daddy is?
	Don't you know who my daddy is?
	That's the way they look at all of us, like batteries.
	For generations, they have looked at us as sources of energy for their war machine and for their special interests.
	They're arrogant little pieces of crap.
	You call these guys out man to man, they don't know whether to piss a shit.
	They fall like that.
	They're a bunch of arrogant pieces of crap.
	Oh, you don't believe me?
	Take a look at what's going on in New York City.
	We got little Andy Cuomo.
	Another little daddy's boy.
	My daddy was Mario Cuomo.
	I'm renaming the Tappan Zee Bridge after my daddy.
	Oh yeah, a little bastard that closed down New York State and destroyed it when he was the governor of New York?
	Oh, they threw him out because what?
	He's accused of feeling up chicks?
	Unbelievable. Now he's leading the race in New York to become mayors.
	And he's all talking about crime and trying to protect people.
	How many people died as a result of that guy's policies?
	How many old people died because he thought he had the prerogative to take people's tax money and operate a machinery of death putting old people in with each other who were sick?
	Yeah. Unbelievable.
	Took him out of hospitals.
	And put them in nursing homes.
	Insane. Absolutely crazy.
	And I could keep going on with these daddies, boys.
	Let's do another one.
	How about just up not far from you, a place called Canada?
	Remember little Piet...
	What's his name?
	Justin. Justin Trudeau?
	Yeah. Oh, my daddy.
	Was it Fidel Castro?
	I forget.
	They do look a lot alike.
	How about the little slimeball arrogant piece of scum you can knock out like that?
	Hey, I'm Anthony Blinken.
	I was the Secretary of State under Biden.
	Oh, I promoted the Israeli genocide war.
	But don't you know who my daddy was?
	The thing that gets me is they all operate under these artifices of gentility.
	Where you've got Justin Trudeau, while he's getting ready to trample a 70-plus-year-old woman out in Ottawa with horses, and he breaches the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and he prevents travel between the provinces,
	which is forbidden.
	There's supposed to be travel between the provinces.
	He sends Canadian troops in there.
	What's that?
	Facts don't matter.
	Yeah, they don't care.
	Blinken doesn't care about the Constitution.
	He'll jet all around the world, stand very tall, and offer as many weapons as the criminal Netanyahu wants.
	And then, to add insult to injury, you've got Fetterman going and meeting with that genocidal maniac and his wife, who's up on charges, and you get another presentation of a beeper.
	To Fetterman, and he says, oh yeah, I really loved when I saw that.
	They're blowing kids' hands off.
	They're blowing people.
	Look, what I'm saying is, you know, you're going through all these things.
	The facts don't matter.
	It's being run by evil people.
	End of story.
	And I'm going on about how they're all little...
	George Carlin, great comedian.
	It's one big club and you ain't in it.
	Absolutely. And by the way, his brother Patrick used to work for me.
	Really? Yeah.
	Wow. And for quite a while.
	But anyway, look at the little clown boy that you were talking before about, you know, the patriarch, all this other stuff.
	Yeah. Georgie Bush.
	Yeah. A little moron of a clown.
	Don't you know who my daddy was?
	Don't you know who my uncle was?
	I'm telling you, it's one big club.
	Yeah. So we're talking about the facts and what they're doing.
	It doesn't make any difference.
	They're evil people.
	Bottom line, end of story, they're evil people running a country near you.
	Gerald, I'm curious to get your thoughts because as we look at the snapshot of things right now, the way they are, and we lay these things out.
	It's so easy to recognize how so many people want entrance into the club, right?
	You get these people, Pam Bondy, or it's a woman from New Hampshire, Caroline Levitt now, the spokeswoman, coming up with all these ridiculous claims about people who...
	Are here on green card status.
	And they're going to ship them away because they don't like the protesting on college campuses.
	And they're going to use the same kind of terminology that was used by the Bidenistas against Catholics as potential terrorists.
	And they're going to ship them out just because they're calling for peace.
	So with that snapshot...
	The way things are today, I'd love to get your thoughts.
	And in fact, we have a Russian team here because we spread the Russian propaganda, Gerald, in my studio.
	I want to show people the Trends Journal.
	Given what we're seeing today with these attacks on civil liberties, and they're very clearly attacks on civil liberties.
	They can't use the Alien Enemies Act unless there's a declared war.
	And they're using it anyway.
	And conservatives aren't talking about it.
	They don't care because they want to be part of that club now.
	They think that they're in there.
	They think, oh, Kash Patel's in at the FBI.
	He's now part of the club.
	No, he's being used by the people who control the club.
	Tell me what you think right now about things about, for example...
	The Middle East, how the Israelis broke the peace, how they continued to insist, and I tried to stress this to people at Antiwar, Dave DeCamp, Max Blumenthal has done a great job covering this, so has Aaron Maté.
	As they've described how the Israelis continued to break the ceasefire arrangements, demanding that only certain prisoners be released by Hamas.
	You've got to put soldiers out first.
	I thought they cared about the civilians.
	And then they broke it themselves, starving people.
	As we look at that and we look at the threats they're trying to target Iran, they're bombing the Houthis, Trump coming off a golf course to kill innocent kids in a cancer ward.
	Where do you see some of these war trends and how they work towards the trends that you're seeing for things like crude oil and other things that people might start seeing affected here in the United States?
	We're going to see if...
	Trump keeps talking up going after Iran.
	And Israel and the United States go to war with Iran.
	You're going to see Brent crude, which is now around $70 a barrel, go to around $120 a barrel.
	And that'll crash the global economy and the global equity markets.
	Simple as that.
	And these are some of the quotes.
	This is the BS spewing out of Trump's mouth.
	We're going to have peace through strength.
	We will not have to fight.
	I'm moving quickly to end wars, settle conflicts, and restore the planet to peace.
	I want peace.
	I'm not going to start a war.
	I'm going to stop wars.
	Those are some of Trump's quotes.
	What are you talking about?
	You're threatening the Houthis.
	You're saying you're going to...
	Oh, he calls them barbarians.
	Oh, they're barbarians?
	Oh, why are the Houthis bombing these ships?
	They said they're bombing these ships because of what you're doing to the Palestinian people.
	And when you stop it, we'll stop it.
	How dare they try to stop the slaughter of the Palestinian people?
	What's going on in front of everybody's eyes, and it's barely reported in the Western media anymore, the destruction, bombing this place into ruins.
	Depending on the numbers you'll look at, Lancet, for example, says well over 100,000 Palestinians have been killed already.
	The place has been totally demolished.
	Now Israel's violated a ceasefire agreement.
	You know, they haven't left Lebanon.
	They've gotten five areas that they're securing now.
	They're bombing it virtually every day, knocking out entire neighborhoods.
	And if you come out against them, well, you're an anti-Semite.
	And that's the other thing I really want to make clear.
	The people running Israel are not Semites.
	Semites, Google it up, are from the Mesopotamia region.
	These are Ashkenazi Jews.
	Right. A-S-H-K-E-N-A-Z-I.
	Ashkenazis. Oh, Ben-Gurion.
	No, no.
	Not Ben-Gurion.
	The cat made up the name, man.
	It's green.
	Oh, how about Netanyahu?
	You mean Milikowski?
	Right. These are all Eastern Europeans, Khazars.
	And look up how wonderful the Khazars was.
	Oh yeah, a murderous group that they had to wipe out at one time.
	Oh, by the way, they didn't convert to Judaism into what?
	Like about 300 AD or something?
	Yeah, yeah.
	And, you know, over...
	What they're doing now, they are going to do everything they can to wipe out the Palestinians.
	They've thrown out over 40,000 Palestinians out of the West Bank, out of their homes.
	40,000 people.
	40,000 people out of their homes.
	Oh, and if you fight against them, they're militants.
	You're the bad guy.
	It's the ultimate gaslight.
	It's incredible.
	I'll refer actually right now just to show you over at Antiwar.
	Here's another example.
	Dave DeCamp released this yesterday.
	White House.
	Trump fully supports Israel's Gaza slaughter.
	White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt said Thursday that President Trump fully supports Israel's renewed massive bombing campaign in Gaza, which has killed at least 200 children since Tuesday.
	What really strikes me is Caroline Levitt coming from New Hampshire.
	Yeah, she used to do...
	Again, you don't ask crazy people why they're crazy and murderers why they're...
	You don't even waste your time thinking about the person.
	Yeah. Slimeball pieces of crap.
	Oh, by the way, I was the assistant to the secretary of the New York State Senate.
	All right?
	I used to work on major political campaigns in Westchester County.
	I taught American politics and campaign technology.
	I had to run political campaigns in Westchester, at St. John's University.
	I got pictures of me when I picked up Ronald Reagan, put on a brunch with 69-hour board of directors.
	I know what this deal is.
	These are low-life pieces of scum.
	And that's why I quit.
	But I wouldn't know what I know if I wasn't on the other side.
	So, you know...
	Don't waste your time thinking about why these people are doing that.
	You don't ask a murderer why they're a murderer, a thief, why they're a thief.
	They're evil people.
	They're sellout little pieces of scum.
	So going back to what you were talking about with Trump, what you were just reading.
	Yeah. Trump warns Yemen Houthis there will be, quote, Completely annihilated.
	He said, tremendous damage has been inflicted upon the Houthi barbarians.
	And watch how it will get progressively worse.
	It's not even a fair fight, never will be.
	This is Trump wrote this.
	They will be completely annihilated.
	That's out of the mouth of this fat boy who, same age as I am, who got four or five draft deferments during the Vietnam War.
	Right. Real tough guy.
	Real tough guy.
	Oh, you know what one of the deferments was when he got out?
	A bone spur on his ankle.
	He must have been playing too much golf before he went to bomb people.
	Yeah. His dad was out of the mouth.
	I had lunch with Trump's brother in 2017, his brother Robert.
	Robert had a restaurant over here.
	Its story was it was one of Trump's old girlfriends who would help him keep it going.
	Anyway, I spent three hours with him.
	The brother told me that when the father died, he left the family over a half a billion dollars worth of real estate.
	Trump is nothing more than a spoiled daddy's boy.
	That's all he is.
	And now he talks real tough.
	A lying piece of scum, and I'm saying that from what he said before.
	You ready?
	I want to see the Middle East get back to peace and real peace.
	But a peace that is going to be a lasting peace, I want immediate peace.
	Hey, Slimeball, you just said...
	That you're going to annihilate the Houthis and you're calling them barbarians.
	Oh, don't call the Israelis barbarians for slaughtering all these innocent people.
	Oh no, how dare you!
	Right. Right, exactly.
	It reminds me of the words of a mafioso in a region where the mafia has claimed control, and they're now trying to expand their territory.
	They've got agents in some other place that are engaging in killing people and assassinating people.
	And when somebody from a nearby town says, I'm going to try to bring peace so that those people can get food, they're now going to attack them, the Houthis, and they're claiming that they're the bad guys.
	It is pure...
	It's incredible.
	And the thing that gets me about it is I was listening to Dave DeCamp talk about one of the surgeons who went down into Gaza from America and has repeatedly gone in and the descriptions of what had been done to those kids and women.
	And how these people can act in this way and additionally swear owes to the Constitution without even getting a declared war.
	And get away with it means that it's incumbent on me to educate and try to spread the word as much as possible.
	Again, what's your favorite war?
	Do you like the Peloponnesian War?
	Maybe you like the Hundred Year War.
	Oh, the War of Roses was so lovely.
	Hey, what's your favorite crusade?
	Oh, I like the 12th better than the 8th.
	All right, this stuff has been going on forever.
	These are evil people.
	You see, you mentioned the mafia.
	All right?
	As an Italian, you always hear about the mafia, you know, the mafia, the mafia.
	Yeah. All right.
	How about the royal family?
	Hey, if they were Italian, you'd call them a mafia.
	What royal family?
	In what country are you talking about?
	Oh, the royal family in Belgium that slaughtered people all over the Congo?
	Oh, no, no, you mean the royal family of the United Kingdom where the sun never set on the British Empire and we slaughtered people all over the world.
	If they were Italian, they'd call them the mafia.
	Exactly, exactly.
	Yeah, I'm tired of this mafia shit.
	And Gerald, I want to show you something fun.
	Che Bose from Moscow Mules posted this earlier today.
	I think you'll appreciate it.
	I showed it a few minutes ago on the show.
	UK police have released images of two people seen wearing stolen jewels from India and South Africa in central London yesterday.
	They are both unemployed and totally reliant on state benefits.
	Look at this.
	This is a clown show.
	It's a clown show.
	Look at them.
	What human being would go so low to dress like that?
	You think it's Halloween every day?
	Unbelievable. Incredible.
	I know.
	That's what I'm trying to say.
	It's a crime syndicate.
	If they were Italian, all these people, you'd call it a mafia.
	It's a mafia.
	They are murderers and thieves.
	Gerald, I'm curious to get your thoughts, and I do want to mention that if people want to get a subscription to Trends Journal and they want to see all the great reporting that you and your team do, they can still get 10% off if they put the code NIGHT in.
	Is that correct, Gerald?
	That's it.
	Great stuff.
	It's so inexpensive.
	And the reporting on it, you can see over on the screen, everybody, the Trends Journal.
	Told you so.
	Here's the told you.
	Gold prices would sizzle.
	Equity markets would fizzle.
	And that's exactly right.
	And you've got over here, Trump orders airstrikes on Yemen over Houthi defense of Gazans being starved by Israel.
	These are the types of reports that I appreciate because I'm getting truth and I'm getting a person.
	Who looks at these things and has for a long time, looks at these trends, looks at the importance of sound money, looks at what the United States government has done to artificially pump up certain sectors of the economy, like the housing sector, and knows what's coming.
	And you predicted these things, Gerald.
	Yeah, look, again, when you put the night thing in there, the...
	It costs a grand total of $2.50 a week.
	The magazine we cover from high-tech science, technocracy, AI, geopolitics, economics.
	We give people everything we can.
	You can listen to it.
	It comes in different languages.
	It's a book.
	It could flip.
	You could pipe out the PDF.
	And this is, by the way, or else you could spend $4 a day.
	And you can subscribe to the toilet paper or record, the New York Times.
	Look at this stupid thing.
	Look at all this wasted space for a story.
	Let's check the babies.
	This is the business section.
	They're giving you nothing.
	The media is gone.
	We're giving the people everything we can.
	And this is an important trend.
	I'm going to talk about two of them that nobody's talking about.
	One is the office building bust that's going to crash a lot of the banking system, and you can see the bank stocks going way down now.
	When they launched the COVID war and they made people work from home, you now have an office vacancy rate in the 10 largest cities in America of almost 20%.
	Nobody in them.
	So now the COVID war began five years ago, January 2020.
	Chinese Lunar New Year, the year of the rat.
	That's when they launched it.
	Now the leases are coming up after all that time.
	They're not renewing them.
	There's going to be major defaults on these buildings.
	I'll give you the facts.
	Midtown Manhattan, last year, 50th Street.
	A building that was sold for over $300 million.
	You can Google it up.
	In 2006, was sold last year for $8.5 million.
	Wow. Sports Illustrated used to be there.
	Here's the deal.
	The building, again, on 50th Street, Midtown Manhattan, was in the middle of the street.
	No windows on that side, no windows on that side, no windows in the back.
	Buildings built within the last 50 years.
	Are not convertible to residential buildings.
	End of story.
	They're knocking it down and they're going to build something else there.
	This is going on all over the country.
	I just told you, showed you this.
	There is no journalism anymore.
	They're not reporting on this.
	This is going to bring down the banking system.
	Number two...
	It's so insulting and it's such a slight to...
	It's so disrespectful of people because these are facts that are staring us in the face.
	Yep. Not being reported at all.
	There's no more journalism anymore.
	It's gone.
	Again, you could thank, in part, this guy.
	This is a t-shirt that I did in 1992.
	It's classic.
	Clinton was running for office.
	I love that.
	That was great.
	This is the slime ball that gave us the Federal Communications Act in 1996.
	Yep. Wiped out all the independent media, did away with all the laws that prevented the bigs from taking over.
	Now six companies control over 92% of America's media so that people aren't getting anything.
	Number two, dot-com bust 2.0.
	You're going to see the dot-com markets bust big time.
	And this is your Trends Journal when it used to be a quarterly.
	Now it's a weekly.
	Story over here, dot-com this.
	This is 1999, fall edition.
	We said the markets had crashed, the dot-com.
	Yeah, I'll read it to you.
	Yeah. Dot-com overload will short-circuit many high expectations for huge profits in internet commerce, entertainment, and a wider array of dot-com services.
	Following the holiday season, Many of today's high-flying internet stocks, the hottest IPOs, and newly emerging IPO wannabes will have begun their deep descent from their overvalued heights.
	We said it would crash by the second quarter of 2000, and it did.
	Nailed it.
	We are going to have a dot-com bust, and I'm going to give you the facts of why.
	And it's going to crash the markets, and gold prices are going to skyrocket.
	Here's why.
	I just talked about Slick Willie Clinton.
	This is the guy that gave us NAFTA and gave us China into the World Trade Organization.
	Tracking trends is making connections between different fields.
	Let's go back to 2000, just before China got into the World Trade Organization.
	10% of Chinese 18-year-olds went to college.
	10%. Today, nearly 70%.
	What does that mean?
	Let's go back to the end of January.
	All of a sudden, we hear about this company we never heard of before.
	DeepSeek. DeepSeek?
	Oh, yeah.
	A Chinese company.
	We don't need those big chips for AI.
	We need smaller chips.
	It's not costing us $100 million to pull this off.
	We did it for $6 million.
	On January, I think it was January 27th, NVIDIA stocks dove 17%, wiped out $600 billion of value.
	One day.
	All right?
	Totally out of the news now.
	By the way, NVIDIA, look it up.
	The most used...
	AI in the world.
	Not NVIDIA, excuse me, DeepSeek.
	DeepSeek is now the most used AI in the world.
	Okay. I'm mentioning about all the young people going to college.
	Young people are totally, totally high-tech addicted.
	It's a different world.
	This is their mindset.
	China is going to lead the world in AI.
	And again, you don't have to believe me.
	Look at the facts.
	Hey, take a look at the Hang Seng.
	Oh yeah, why?
	Look at it.
	From the end of January, it was down like that.
	Deep Seek hits.
	Woof. Yep.
	Way, way up.
	They're investing in these high-tech companies out of China.
	You go by the numbers.
	What do they got?
	1.4 billion people over there.
	What do we have over here?
	About 340 million.
	All right?
	You got all these young people that are AI addicted.
	Now, again, we only write the facts in the Trends Journal.
	The government is now supporting it as well.
	So they're going to take over.
	And all of these people, they, here, the automobile was what?
	Invented like, what, 1886 or something.
	Right. Do you invest all your money in the first company that invented the automobile?
	You don't invest your money in the beginning of a trend.
	Trends are born, they grow, they mature, reach old age and die.
	AI only began in 2022.
	So everybody started investing in these American companies.
	When the trend just began.
	Just what happened with the dot-com thing.
	Right. And so we're looking at a dot-com bust that's going to happen.
	You have to have a test of the different types of entries into the market.
	And people are so eager to just jump aboard.
	They don't realize sometimes they're jumping aboard a wagon that's got a square wheel.
	You got it.
	Yeah. So those are two trends that are, and then again, gold we're very bullish on.
	And again, you look at the magazine cover.
	Gold prices are up 14% this year.
	Last year, one of our top trends was a golden year for gold.
	Gold went up 27% last year.
	This is amazing.
	The world has had enough of the United States hegemony.
	It's going to be the beginning of the death of the dollar.
	And Gerald, I was speaking with Jason Sorens of the American Institute for Economic Research over in Great Barrington, not too far from you.
	Yeah. And a beautiful area.
	And in fact, I passed by there when I drove down.
	The first time I met you when David was there, I passed by the Great Barrington Institute and their building.
	And so Jason's with them and he was speaking down in New Orleans.
	And we were talking about how because of the pressure from American exporters and Donald Trump's mindset, Powell signaled.
	Of course, the day before yesterday, they're keeping rates as they are.
	And I worry greatly that to try to stimulate American exports and, of course, to try to give some bump to the economy as Trump comes in, they're going to pursue even further an inflationary program, which will make everything you just mentioned even worse when the crash comes sometime this year or next year.
	I think the crash is going to come this year.
	On the dot-com bust.
	Again, since we made that forecast, the NASDAQ went into correction territory.
	Yep. Down more than 10%.
	Yeah. The S&P is just on the fringe of going into correction territory.
	Yeah. And the Dow's down again today.
	Yep. And I'm telling you, I've been at this for 45 years.
	I've never seen a time like this.
	And what you're saying about Trump saying he wants to lower the value of the dollar so exports could increase.
	And it's not only that what's going to bring down the value of the dollar, the world has had enough of the United States hegemony, be it geopolitical or economic.
	And the dollar is the top reserve currency.
	That's coming to an end.
	And when the dollar goes down, gold prices go up.
	It's as simple as that.
	Now, let's go back to what's going on.
	Again, Trump speaks out of both sides of his mouth.
	He's full of crap.
	Go by the facts, as I just read about what he said about peace.
	How about this one?
	Before he becomes president, he says, when I become president, I'm going to force the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates.
	Not my language, his.
	Then what happened in January?
	The Federal Reserve kept interest rates where they were.
	What did Trump say?
	Well, they did the right thing by keeping interest rates where they are.
	Hey, wait a minute, fat mouth.
	You just said you wanted to lower them.
	Yeah, I know, but I speak out of both sides of my mouth.
	So what happened the other day on Wednesday when the Fed said we're not going to raise interest rates?
	What did Trump say?
	They've got to lower interest rates.
	Hey, it got sunk.
	You just said a month ago that it was okay with it.
	He keeps going back and forth.
	It's like his terror for rhetoric.
	You know, one of the things that economist Robert Higgs, I brought up that ratcheting effect, when Higgs released that book Crisis on Leviathan years ago, he talked about one of the early things I learned from reading his economics stuff from the Mises Institute was how during the Great Depression...
	Businesses, business people were very reluctant to get back into starting any business because they didn't know how much they were going to get hit by that criminal FDR.
	They didn't know what the taxes were going to be.
	So their investments and things got delayed.
	There's this uncertainty factor that is just rampant in the United States.
	In addition, as you say, to the absolutely ridiculous military spending and the way that the United States is meddling in so much now causing problems.
	For Americans who want to get oil from the Middle East, it's going to get ridiculous.
	Trump seems to be in a mad scramble, which I applaud, to allow the United States to be able to do exploration and recovery of energy.
	And that would be great.
	But in the meantime...
	How about you stop spending all this money and stop going along with the Republicans and claiming that they're cutting spending when they're not?
	Thomas Massey and Rand Paul have pointed it out.
	The budget increases.
	It doesn't decrease.
	It's insanity.
	And going back to Trump, what did they just do yesterday?
	Yeah. With sanctions on Iran to cut back their oil income.
	And yet they go after the Houthis.
	Because the Houthis are blocking trade, as they say.
	Originally, the Houthis were only targeting the Israeli shipping and the American shipping because it was a response to the aggression of the Zionist state.
	So the very tactics that they derived from other states, they apply to the Russian economy.
	You can't do trade with the Russians.
	We're going to go after these two guys from Turkey.
	Why? Well, they wanted to buy some stuff from Russia.
	So we're going to sanction them.
	It's the same thing.
	They do the same thing, and yet the pot calls the kettle black.
	It's insane.
	You know, going back, you mentioned about FDR, and I'm going to talk about gold.
	My father, may he rest in peace, told me this story that he said, you know, I was dating your mother.
	They got married in 1934.
	He said, I go over to your grandfather's house.
	It was 1933.
	And your grandfather was wrapping up all his gold.
	He had a load of gold coins.
	I said, Pop, what are you doing this for?
	He said, your grandfather said to me, well, the president wants our gold and I'm a true American and I'm turning in the gold.
	And my father said, what are you, out of your mind?
	Don't do that.
	He said, your grandfather started cursing at me in Italian.
	You don't know what you're talking about.
	FDR made the people turn in their gold.
	And they turned it in for $20.67 an ounce.
	1933. Oh, but he was so honest just a little while after that.
	It was wonderful what he did after that, right?
	Right. He increased the price of gold with the Gold Reserve Act to $35 an ounce.
	So after we stole it from the people, we raised the price.
	70% increase.
	Now, I'm going to fast forward.
	Trump and Musk spewing out this crap.
	We're going to go into Fort Knox and see what they got in there.
	Hey, they already know what's in there.
	What are you, kidding me or what?
	Exactly. Exactly.
	So, here's a wild card.
	I believe they're going to make a big deal about going into Fort Knox and they're going to say it's loaded with gold.
	We have more gold than anybody else in the world.
	And they're going to pass a Gold Reserve Act and raise the price of gold so that they can cover the $6 trillion debt.
	Hey, we got the money to cover the debt.
	We're okay.
	That's very astute.
	That's a really good theory.
	That's very interesting.
	That would be one way that they could get out a lot of that debt.
	Exactly. I never thought that's brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.
	Wow. And that's why we're very bullish on gold.
	Again, we don't give financial advice.
	Yeah. You know, the Trends Journal.
	And going back, by the way, what you're saying about subscribing, we're losing subscribers.
	And because we're speaking out against genocide, this is an email that I got yesterday.
	Unsubscribe me.
	Your take on Israel conflict is awful.
	I wrote back, yes, you are unsubscribed.
	The Trends Journal is not a magazine for evil people who support Israeli genocide.
	And then I put the links of all of the...
	Amnesty International, Human Rights, International Court, all the people that are calling it genocide.
	So it's not my language.
	Good job.
	Good job.
	So that's what's going on.
	So if you want, we're doing everything again.
	I put my money where my heart is.
	I have launched Occupied Peace.
	We put out a magazine.
	There's no magazine in the world.
	If anybody could show me one that comes close to the Trends Journal, let me know.
	Nothing. You see it.
	There's nothing like it.
	And Gerald, your reports on YouTube are phenomenal.
	Your segments on X are phenomenal.
	I hope people will follow you.
	We'll show them your X feed in just a minute.
	Your conversations with Andrew Napolitano, phenomenal.
	Just great, great stuff.
	And your admiration for the people who truly speak for peace.
	As we know, Roger Waters can barely come close to Germany.
	Because they claim that Roger Waters, in speaking out against fascism and doing portrayals of fascists in a mocking and insightful way in some of his stage performances, they claim that he's promoting fascism.
	And I think that...
	Holding the line on the truth is so important now.
	And you're doing a terrific job at Trends Journal.
	You just inspired me.
	What I think will be really fun would be for me to get together with my subscription with family members into little Zoom calls.
	And maybe once a week, we compare notes on different stories that we think are important in different publications.
	And we get together and read these things with each other.
	I think that that might be a fun idea.
	Or maybe I'll do it on Liberty Conspiracy and just bring up, hey, here's one from Trends Journal.
	Here's one from this as a separate thing, because I think it's important to promote the work of good people like what you're doing.
	And Gerald, you reminded me, I definitely wanted to ask you about this as we see the sort of sleight of hand, the ledger domain of the Trump administration.
	Last time you and I spoke, I know we talked a little bit about your experience in school being hit by the nun.
	And I related to you the experience I had being thrown in the closet by that teacher when I was in seventh grade.
	And I actually see that woman now at the post office and I've let it go.
	I actually almost started to cry one time because I actually started to talk to this woman and I forgave her in my heart.
	And so now I do see her and we smile and it's different for me now.
	But I remember what that was like.
	And so I wanted to get your thoughts a little bit, Gerald, as we see things like this generational fight from people like...
	My father, who worked for Reagan, trying to dismantle the education department.
	The centralization and just the philosophical mindset that everything's got to be done by the group, negating the ability of individuals to make their own relationships with each other.
	What do you think about this announcement of Trump dismantling the Department of Education when, in fact, they haven't even released the White House executive order?
	They already said on Forbes, I read the piece that said, well, they're not really dismantling it.
	They're just going to do it differently.
	What do you think about this announcement and just generally the trend of many of the promises of the Trump administration?
	Again, I just read to you a bunch of his going back and forth on.
	Hey, listen to me.
	I'm going to end the Ukraine war in 24 hours when I get elected.
	It got sung.
	I mean, it was a couple of months now.
	Right. And now he wants their nuclear plants.
	After I got elected, I'm going to end that war before I get into office.
	Again, the guy just talks crap.
	Yeah. And it's a crap show.
	Again, it's not only him.
	It's one after another.
	You mentioned the disgusting Biden administration.
	You know, keep going back.
	I mean, here, could Orwell come up with a better name than the Patriot Act that robbed us of all our freedom?
	Yeah, and now they're leveraging that sort of rhetoric, and you and Andrew Napolitano have spoken about this.
	They're leveraging that rhetoric against people on college campuses who simply are doing what we're doing.
	And they're using the Alien Enemies Act.
	And these fatuous, canard-filled people in Washington aren't even acknowledging the fact that the statute itself says during a declared war.
	They haven't done that since World War II.
	It amazes me that they can get away with this stuff.
	And I was surprised someone on MSNBC actually brought it up and said, well, you know, it's supposed to be during a declared war.
	That was one of the few times I've actually seen them note what's actually written down in a statute that's easily provable.
	And they do this all the time.
	I don't know why the MAGA people are in this twisted mindset where because their guy is in there, they think that they should throw all their support to him.
	Why did they go for Hitler?
	Did they like Mussolini?
	It's the morons that just follow their leader.
	Here, this is from July 15th, 2024.
	Biden says he considers himself a Zionist.
	All right?
	But you're a Zionist?
	You mean this political movement has nothing to do with religion?
	Zionism has nothing to do with religion.
	He's made up of this guy, what, Herzl?
	What was his name?
	Theodore Herzl.
	1890s? Oh, and here's the other thing.
	I'm tired of hearing this fairy tale.
	God told Abraham 3,500 years ago that this land belongs to the Jewish people.
	Hey, what if God got locked?
	Sure, that's the only person he ever talked to any time in 3,500 years ago.
	I got to believe this fairy tale of yours.
	Yeah, and David brought up a distinction that many of the strong Christians, not the Zionist Christians, bring up, which is that there's a difference between political Israel under the polis and Israel under the New Testament.
	And people just don't want to face this.
	I don't want to believe in anybody.
	Your religion is your religion.
	That's what you believe in.
	I don't want to believe anybody's religion.
	Believe in what you want to believe in, but don't tell me I have to believe in it.
	That's all I say.
	Yes, do whatever you want to do.
	Don't tell me.
	Again, I started a church, Universal Church of Freedom, Peace and Justice.
	Began it three years ago.
	Yeah. So believe in your God, but don't tell me I have to believe in it.
	And by the way, there's a whole article that came out.
	They just found like another skull or human bones from like a million and a half years ago.
	Right. Oh, no, no, no.
	Everything began when God told Abraham.
	Get the hell out of here.
	Don't want to hear it.
	Gerald, I'm curious to think, to speculate, and I don't want to speculate too far, about first with Ukraine.
	It seems like we just heard the announcement that Trump is now floating the idea of the United States running the nuclear plants in Ukraine, which would mean just insanity.
	And then if we look at the targeting of Iran, and pick either one or both as we offer you the opportunity to give the final word on what you think.
	And maybe it's really too chaotic to speculate.
	No, it's not at all.
	Please offer your opinion.
	I got banned from TikTok for saying that Kiev is not going to come to any kind of peace agreement with Russia because Russia's not going to give back the land that they got.
	And what they're going to do is they're going to escalate this war.
	And they're going to bomb nuclear power plants, some false flag event to get support to keep the war going.
	Go to your Trends Journal this week and look at what Europe is doing, one country after another, the whole NATO spending more and more money on defense spending.
	It's right there for everybody to see.
	Exactly. And the EU now, with their five to ten year plan under Wunderland and those other criminal people wanting their own military.
	Yes. They're ramping up the war.
	Because one of my sayings is when all else fails, they take you to war.
	All these economies are failing.
	Germany, the third largest economy in the world, is in recession.
	Oh, they just passed this big, big bill to spend more money on defense?
	And they're bragging.
	All of Europe is bragging that this is going to create jobs.
	Again, it's in your magazine.
	This is insanity.
	It's insanity.
	No, it's not going to create jobs.
	What it's going to do is cost more money and produce nothing.
	Exactly. It's not like you're manufacturing clothing that people are buying.
	No. You're manufacturing weapons that nobody's buying that you're spending money to have.
	So that's what's going to go on with the Ukraine war.
	They're going to ramp up the war against Iran.
	Make this really clear.
	91 million people in Iran.
	How many Jews in Israel?
	About 7 million.
	Wait a minute.
	91 million against 7 million?
	Oh, Iran, Persians, very advanced scientifically, technologically, and militarily.
	Oh, the United States is going to get involved in the war.
	Hey, haven't won a war since World War II.
	Or you wouldn't have won that without the Russians.
	I forgot that.
	But anyway.
	Can't win the Vietnam War.
	You only killed three and a half million.
	Couldn't win the Iraq War.
	They only killed all over a little million there.
	A couple of hundred thousand over in Afghanistan.
	Oh, you're going to beat the Iranians?
	This is going to be World War III.
	Look up the Samson option.
	S-A-M-S-O-N.
	Yes, yes, yes.
	Israel says if they lose, they go nuclear.
	Yep. And it amazes me that they're constantly trying to blow this dog whistle about Iran developing nuclear weapons when Israel is the one that got the nuclear weapons through clandestine means starting in the 1950s onwards.
	Iran has always been open to nuclear inspections.
	They always show that they're not refining their fissile material to a point where they're making bombs.
	It's for energy production.
	And the United States has that country surrounded.
	And Gerald, I have to tell you, last night when I was listening to Dave DeCamp on the anti-war video that they release every night at midnight, essentially, that covers a lot of the antiwar.com stories.
	This is the first time.
	I usually don't go this far.
	But I got a sinking feeling that there's going to be a false flag that they blame on Iran.
	I'm telling you.
	Yeah. What's that?
	Yeah. They're doing it already.
	They're blaming Iran for supporting the Houthis.
	Yeah. Yeah.
	Good point.
	Trump is already coming out and saying he's going to destroy them.
	Yeah. Yeah.
	So true.
	Well, look, Gerald, we're almost out of time, but I do want to make sure that I stress, filling in for David and the audience here, I want to thank everyone.
	I know there are a number of comments that people have, so many people that are in here, and this is very interesting.
	We've got comments all over X. That I can't even keep track of.
	There's so many comments.
	Inside Rockfin as well and inside Rumble.
	And I want to thank everyone for being there.
	And I want to just mention, and I'll go through a couple of comments after we say goodbye.
	But I want to just mention, Gerald, again, that people can get the Trends Journal for 10% off.
	By putting in the code NIGHT.
	And I am going to start picking up that habit.
	If I can get some family members, every once a week, every one of us grab one or two little articles that we think are important or a couple times a week and we get together on Zoom and we compare notes on some of these things.
	Or maybe I do it on my Liberty Conspiracy show with audience members or something.
	Because I think it's important to make these connections.
	And I'll come down and see you in Kingston again very, very soon.
	Anytime. Yeah, it's a wonderful, wonderful atmosphere you've created, Gerald, and you're a wonderful guy, and I really appreciate what you do.
	And I really appreciate what you do.
	I mean, the information you have, the knowledge that you have, and what you're doing, you know, it's a rarity.
	There aren't many cats out there doing what you're doing.
	So thank you so much for what you are doing and what David and everyone's doing.
	And again, we're in a critical time, and it's going to be the end of life on Earth if this keeps going.
	Gerald, I appreciate it so much.
	You bring the jazz of life, good man.
	You bring the jazz of life.
	And I'll be back in touch with you through email.
	And maybe you can pop in on my Liberty Conspiracy show some evening or something like that, and we'll have a great time.
	We'll talk about Louis Belson on drums.
	All right.
	Thank you so much, Gerald Salente.
	Remember, everybody, get the Trends Journal.
	It's muy, muy fantastic.
	Gerald, I'll see you in the Four Corners.
	I'll bring you dinner sometime, all right?
	All right.
	Thanks a lot, man.
	Thanks, Gerald.
	Gerald Salenti, great stuff from Gerald.
	Take care, Gerald.
	And to everyone out there, thank you for joining us on the program.
	I'll flash this up on the screen again.
	Thanks to the great David Knight and everybody who has been involved in the program.
	There we go, the Trends Journal.
	And we'll get your comments just before we go, just quickly.
	Thank you so much, everybody, for being around.
	I really appreciate you being in there.
	I see Gonzo Johnny.
	He says, also, anarchy is not political.
	It's a set of rules on how to live together.
	Thank you, Gonzo.
	Anarchy, no human ruler.
	We don't need the government to tell us how to live because that's what government is.
	It's people telling other people how they're going to do things.
	We can come up with those rules ourselves, socially.
	Our interaction.
	It works pretty well.
	And again, if John Locke says that people are too stupid to come up with their own rules of interaction amongst each other, then how can they come up with enough rules to form a government then?
	I mean, it's a tautological statement.
	Thank you so much.
	We'll get together tonight at 6 o'clock on Liberty Conspiracy.
	And on Friday nights, I like to embark on something we call Fiction Friday because of my script writing expertise or time at Star Trek Voyager.
	And it looks like they're bringing Captain Janeway back for a series, I guess.
	But I've long since lost interest in Star Trek.
	But I like to look at fiction.
	I write fiction and some of that's out there.
	Some has not been published because, as I mentioned, I declined a contract one time.
	Because they wanted me to change my name from my political stuff.
	So I said no.
	So that book is now about 8 to 10 years past when it was supposed to have been published.
	So I'm going to start up a publishing wing and things like that if I can.
	But join us on Liberty Conspiracy at 6 o'clock.
	You'll have a great time.
	It's over on Rumble.
	You can follow me on X at Guard Goldsmith.
	And of course my work over at MRCTV.
	MRCTV is not as broad as what I get to do at Liberty Conspiracy.
	I get much more into philosophy and some of my work as a lecturer in political economics.
	And so try to bring some of that scholarly material in so that you can get it in big chunks, big nuggets, and carry it with you.
	And I'm going to start producing separate videos that deal with certain subjects and history and things like that that people can use.
	And then later, as time goes along, after they've been around for a while, people forget them.
	So I'm going to bring some of them back, make sure that they're new.
	And again, you can give them to kids and that sort of thing.
	David does an amazing job doing that just every day, remembering things.
	His recollection is just a...
	Amazing. The power that he has is substantial.
	And his ministry is absolutely wonderful.
	If it weren't for David, I don't know what I would do.
	And if it weren't for you, I don't know what I would do.
	So thank you.
	Again, if you want to contribute today, Rumble, definitely the way to do it.
	Please head over to thedavidknightshow.com.
	Check out the connection to Trends Journal if you want to get Trends Journal for 10% off.
	And please feel free to look at all the donation connections at thedavidknightshow.com.
	If in any way you think that...
	What I've done here in the past few days is something you appreciate and you find it valuable.
	That's the way that we get to do it for David.
	We get to show him directly ourselves.
	It's the new way to do it.
	I'll be doing the same thing over at Liberty Conspiracy as well.
	So just to recap before we go, I do want to mention again some of the information that we did offer to you about the education system.
	Please remember...
	The great work of good people like my father in Charlotte trying to eliminate the Department of Education.
	This is going to go out to my paid subscribers at Substack.
	Some of the information about the Department of Education and what it has done from 1980 straight through from $14 billion to today, 2025.
	It's scheduled to be a budget of $228 billion.
	And of course the...
	Literacy rates have not improved.
	In fact, during the Clinton administration, they adjusted the SAT scores.
	They made them longer.
	They adjusted them on a bell curve.
	So you can't even compare SAT scores today to what they were before.
	And who cares about those things necessarily anyway?
	Much better to get a trade, apprentice with a guy like Gerald, learn about a business, and hop into it.
	Thanks so much for being here.
	Thanks for the scholarly approach, the neighborly approach.
	I love every one of you out there for being here and supporting David's show.
	And please head on over to TheDavidKnightShow.com.
	Thank you so much.
	And thanks to David and the family for allowing me to fill in for David, with the Russian team, of course, on production, taking care of business, as Bachman Turner Overdrive might say.
	We're going to leave you with the common man.
	Thanks again, everyone.
	We'll see you at tonight, 6 o'clock, for Liberty Conspiracy.
	God bless.
	The Common Man.
	They created Common Core to dumb down our children.
	They created common paths to track and control us.
	Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing.
	And the communist future.
	They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
	But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
	That is what we have in common.
	That is what they want to take away.
	Their most powerful weapons are isolation.
	If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers.
