Mon Episode #1974: The Great Financial Reckoning: Gold, Bitcoin, and the Collapse of Everything

Text
As the clock strikes 13, it's Monday, the 24th of March, Year of Our Lord 2025.
Well, today we're going to begin with what is shaping up to be an America-thon.
Remember that horrible film from the 1970s?
It's like every bad film, every dystopian science fiction film being incorporated into reality.
It really is kind of strange times to be living in.
And we have President Trump as we approach the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence next year.
He's looking at rejoining the British Commonwealth program.
We'll take a look at the implications of that.
We'll also take a look at how tech is seeking to reverse the effects of the Tower of Babel.
Is it a new Pentecost, or is it an Antichrist version of that as well?
And in the EU crane, as we should call it, I guess now, they are talking about giving people free McDonald's burgers to re-up.
We'll be right back.
Well, it's great to be back, and I really do appreciate Gard doing a great job.
I had so many people emailing me and writing me about what a good job they thought he did, and it's always great to have somebody do the live show for me to be able to interact with people.
He had some great guests as well.
But I want to begin today with money, the monetary system, the imminent restructuring.
Of the monetary system, as a matter of fact.
This is from bombthrower.com.
As I say, are we going to have a new Bretton Woods using Bitcoin or using some kind of a stablecoin?
Is this a trap?
We're now starting to see states bringing in...
Their own digital coins, a stable coin, backed by gold.
We've got Max Keiser saying, that's the way of the future.
Max Keiser, one of the biggest supporters of Bitcoin.
Always a maximalist on Bitcoin.
Is this going to be the way they're going to do this through the back door?
I think it is.
And I've been saying this from the very beginning.
As bombthrow.com says, we're witnessing the tough decisions required to begin a great unwind.
He says a shift back to sound money.
We'll see about that.
So, again, Trump, Scott, Besant, you have Doug Burgum, also, all of them saying essentially the same thing and making some very troubling comparisons to what they might do with our massive assets.
We just had Doug Burgum do another interview with Breitbart.
Talking about the massive dollar figures and how the U.S. is not really bankrupt, even though we've got $37 trillion in debt.
We're not bankrupt.
We've got all kinds of assets that we could sell off.
That's bankruptcy thinking right there.
And commercial real estate is starting to come around, as Gerald Slenty has been talking about for quite some time.
Now these loans are starting to re-up, and other people are talking about this now, finally.
He's been talking about this for five years.
They appear to be executing a multi-step plan to transition the U.S. financial system away from fiat-based leverage and back toward a structure that's rooted in gold, commodities, and Bitcoin.
And maybe in land and minerals as well.
So I said gold is the hidden anchor of the system.
Is it really?
We're going to take a look at how much gold is in Fort Knox.
And what percentage of the debt it is.
Maybe they're going to do some kind of major restructuring.
Maybe the restructuring will have a major re-evaluation of gold in order to cover themselves.
But, of course, the market's going to have something to say about that, isn't it?
Derivatives have created a massive pyramid of financial claims, and Lutnik is the master of this kind of scam.
He and Scott Besant, these guys who's Wall Street, What should we call them?
Sharks? Robber barons?
These are the people that did it back in 2007-2008.
They're about to do it again.
As a matter of fact, one of the signs of a top is that we now have microloans being put out by DoorDash.
Can't afford that hamburger?
We can finance it for you.
It's even beyond the lunacy.
Of the subprime mortgages and car loans and things like that that were happening in 2007-2008.
We have subprime hamburger loans.
Now, Wimpy would be so excited.
The things that used to be jokes are now being put into reality.
Foreign buyers have all but stopped accumulating U.S. Treasuries.
A clear sign of de-dollarization.
But that's really what the stablecoin is about.
Tether buys massive amounts of treasuries.
And if foreign buyers and individual investors are not interested in buying the treasuries, then they can shift this over to Tether.
They can have them buy the junk bonds.
And they will be happy to make the commissions on all this as well.
As nations seek settlement alternatives outside the U.S. financial system, at the same time, the dollar is rising as countries scramble for them to pay off dollar-denominated debt.
The ultimate catch-22, says Bomb Thrower.
We're going to live through some very strange times, and a lot of this is going to be unpredictable.
We'll have to wait and see.
A lot of wild cards in this.
But we can see the general contours, and they don't look good.
Deficits have reached unprecedented levels.
We're currently at 123% debt to GDP.
But Lutnik is talking about changing the way GDP is calculated as well.
But it's no problem, says Burgum.
He doesn't think it's a real issue.
During the Great Depression, those who saw the collapse coming moved their wealth abroad or into gold.
We're into some other hard assets, those who didn't maintain debt and excessive spending right up until they were wiped out, says Bombsdor.
After FDR confiscated gold in 1933, then revalued it in 1934, those who had already positioned themselves benefited massively.
But of course, if those who were foolish enough to turn in their gold when the government said to do it, and, you know, Gerald Slinty's talked about it, it was his grandfather, I think it was.
Nope, nope.
Government says do it.
We've got to do it.
That was actually the mindset of the people that had custody of our daughter when we went to China.
They had her for just a couple of months before we got there.
And the guy that was there gave her a handwritten note and said, do everything the government tells you to do.
That's not the message she's going to be getting from us.
When the government tells you to turn in your gold, You find a better hole to dig it into, or something like that, because they're going to re-evaluate it.
Bitcoin is serving as the next central bank liquidity tool, says Bombthrower.
I don't think so.
I think it's still gold.
What has happened with gold?
With all of the pump that Trump has done, and he's ready to do the Trump dump on us later, Trumpty-dumpty, Bitcoin had a great fall.
Even though he was pumping it as much as he could.
And I said this from the very beginning.
We even did a commercial about it.
And played it ad nauseum.
We had Yukon Cornelius talking about the hope and expectations of Trump and crypto.
And said it was just a temporary thing.
It was a buying opportunity for gold.
And it was.
Trump put gold on sale.
But he didn't change it from being the standard.
As a matter of fact, after the big pump up, what did it get up to?
$109,000 or something for Bitcoin?
Then it lost a significant amount of that.
And then he hasn't done really too much in terms of his own actions to help crypto because he showed just how corrupt it can be with his meme coins.
The Trump coin, the Melania coin, other things like that that he was doing did nothing to inspire confidence.
His Bitcoin reserve, the tweets that he put out about that, do nothing to inspire confidence.
Instead, it looks like more of an insider grift as he brought in things that were not Bitcoin, not even Ethereum.
He's talking about closely held, centrally controlled transactional coins.
And he pumped them up as well.
If the U.S. does launch a sovereign wealth fund, says Bombthroy, it will likely include Bitcoin as part of the new reserve framework.
And it's this sovereign wealth fund that we're going to talk about.
Do we have, is it appropriate for the government to talk about its wealth fund when it's $37 trillion in debt?
An astronomical amount nobody could even imagine 50 years ago when this stupid movie was done, America thought.
And yet, what they're looking at, Instead of it being a sovereign wealth fund, I think it's more accurately described as a sovereign reverse mortgage.
This is what Doug Burgum is really pushing out, saying that's not really a big issue.
We have so many natural resources that we can sell.
To whom?
America's going to be on sale.
That's it.
Well, commercial real estate, as I said before, Gerald Sinty's been talking about this ever since the lockdowns, ever since Trump.
Introduced the globalist plan, lockdown, and did it in lockstep, just as the Rockefeller people had war-gamed.
They had four different scenarios about when they were going to pull this stuff off.
See, that's the other thing about this.
It was all laid out, and it was all war-gamed, and it was all practiced.
So they had the four different scenarios.
Let's say there's a massive pandemic.
Imagine that.
After they'd been practicing it for 20 years, after they'd done the first practice game two months before 9-11, put out the legislation two months after 9-11, after the false flag anthrax attack, and then they practiced it.
And then they had their simulations.
Well, what were the four possible scenarios?
Well, the worst possible scenario was that everybody would have the most authoritarian response, that nothing else would be allowed.
Except what the government dictated.
That was lockstep.
And that's what they did.
They also acted in lockstep with each other worldwide.
It was a globalist coup.
And as part of that, the fallout from the lockstep and the shutdown of our economy, the lockdown, if you will, was the fallout of commercial real estate.
Now it's not just Gerald Slenty who's talking about it.
This article is from Mises.org.
Commercial real estate is in serious trouble, they said.
The tariff policy, the ponderous commercial real estate market continues to deteriorate, even though that's what people are talking about, the tariff policy.
The thing that very few people are paying attention to yet, even yet, is what's going on in commercial real estate.
So Mises is talking about it.
BizNow.com reports, citing CoStar, that U.S. banks reported delinquencies hit 1.57% at the end of the year.
Last year.
Now, that doesn't sound like a lot, but that's a rate that they've not seen since the fourth quarter of 2014.
And it is an 88% increase from a decade ago.
So the 1.57% delinquency percentage means that more than $47 billion of loans would have been delinquent by the end of the year.
Delinquencies in the commercial mortgage-backed securities are setting multi-year highs with $38 billion in arrears at year end of 2024, a 41% increase from the previous year end.
So it's up 88% from a decade ago, 41% from a year ago.
So an optimism in the industry, however, is the highest it has been in eight years.
And the banks have been doing, I like this phrase here that they talked about, extend and pretend.
I don't know if they coined that or not, but that's going to extend the loan and pretend that you can pay it off.
How about that?
Extend and pretend.
That pretty much describes all of our financial policies from the federal government on out to the banks who have made these loans.
We're going to extend.
We're going to keep doing a continuing resolution.
That's kind of the banker's version.
Of a continuing resolution.
Extend and pretend.
Hoping that the never-before-seen low rates will miraculously turn and lift all boats, as JFK said.
You know, when the tide comes in, it's going to lift all boats.
We're going to do a tax cut.
Well, no, that's not happening.
It's going to lift all boats, and it's going to lift all buildings, as Mises said.
So the distressed market sales nearly doubled to 6% in last year's fourth quarter.
Banks are growing more impatient with loan extensions and the modifications, raising the amount of the 2025 debt maturities to $957 billion from just $659 billion in 2022.
Borrowers whose loans are maturing must confront interest rates that are going to be 300 basis points higher.
Another 3%, if you will, higher.
That's a big jump when you refinance your mortgage, your commercial mortgages, if they're paying it at all.
So he gives the example of Starbucks, Seattle headquarters building.
The current rate is 2.3%.
If they refinance this, it's going to be somewhere around 5.5%.
The owners will eat the difference, and they might do it if they got a tenant, he says, like Starbucks.
A lot of the owners are just going to walk away.
And then what happens, as Gerald Slenty has been talking about, the owners walk away, the banks are left with these bad loans.
They get enough of these bad loans, they're insolvent.
And so what is happening is the New York Fed and a lot of bank regulators and examiners are looking at this and they're about to blow the whistle on extend and pretend.
They said the researchers of the New York Fed are on high alert concerning the continuing commercial real estate Maturity wall.
The maturity wall.
We never got the border wall.
Instead of what we're getting is a maturity wall on commercial real estate after Trump did the lockdown and locked everybody out.
They are believing, that is the researchers and the regulators, believe that banks are undercapitalized.
Regulators, credit rating agencies, providers of funding might scrutinize bank maturity extensions more closely and force banks to accept defaults.
Rather than granting more maturity extensions.
These defaults could lead to deposit runs.
Runs on the banks.
Like the Great Depression.
And or trigger a wave of foreclosures or sales of loans in secondary markets.
And I think that they will let this thing go through.
Because understand, part of moving and restructuring the financial system is to get rid...
Of the banks.
Certainly all the banks except for the big half dozen or so.
They will be partners in whatever the new financial system is.
But all the rest of these banks that you deal with on a regular basis, savings and loans, they've got to go away.
Potter and his people will be fine, but the Bailey savings and loans has got to go.
That has always been the purpose of the central bank digital currency, and all we're seeing is a rebranding and a slight restructuring of this, maintaining The worst features that we all worried about.
So we're looking at potential mass bank failures.
And this is Aaron Day has a piece up at Brownstone Institute.
And I've interviewed Aaron Day multiple times.
He said, look, we've already got CBDC in a stealth form.
And he's still sounding the alarm on that.
He says the stablecoin trap.
That's what Luke Nick is there for.
The stablecoin trap.
The back door.
To total financial control.
And I absolutely agree with him on this.
I've been talking about it as a PPP, digital money.
Public-private partnership for digital money.
Instead of a central bank digital currency, you have a PPP, DC.
And it'll be the robber barons and the friends of Trump.
DG8, thank you for the tip.
He says, David, what's your thought about Trump wanting the USA to join the British Commonwealth?
That's coming up.
I'm going to talk about that.
This is treasonous.
I agree.
His cult can't stop making excuses.
All they say is, he's not worried.
He's just trolling them.
Yeah, just like he was trolling Canada to keep calling them the 51st state.
And what is happening with that?
We're going to talk about the implications of that.
What would happen if that goes through?
Why might he want to do that?
That's coming up.
We will talk about that.
But first, I want to finish with this and with Americathon.
This is Aaron Day.
He says, in accounting, the purpose of a ledger is to track all financial activity in your company, your assets, your liabilities, your purchases, your sales, your income, your expenses, right?
The ledger.
We have a blockchain ledger, don't we?
It's publicly available to everybody to take a look at for most of the currencies.
There's only a few of them that's encrypted.
Not very many, and not very many people use that.
So the vast majority of these so-called cryptocurrencies, and I say so-called because everybody thinks, well, if they're crypto, it's private.
It's encrypted.
No, it's not.
Only the stuff that they use to calculate it is encrypted.
But the ledger is public, and the ledger is everything, everything in your life.
As a matter of fact, it's kind of frightening to look at.
A lot of people are talking about this rally that Bernie Sanders and AOC did, and they had, oh, look, we've got 34,000 people.
Well, it turns out that some people got the geospatial intelligence of their cell phones yet again.
You know, we saw this on January the 6th in D.C. And I've been sounding the alarm on January the 6th.
I've been sounding the alarm on geospatial intelligence, which became the fastest growing branch of the intelligence community going back to the late 1990s in anticipation of the phones that they're going to be rolling out, the internet and so forth.
And they were able to determine that not only did they the exact number of people in attendance, because everybody's got one of these little devices.
And this information is publicly available.
But they're also able to go into demographics and even into what they called psychographics, which is really what geospatial intelligence is about.
We'll be talking about that coming up as well.
But as Aaron Day says, the government has already created a digital ledger for each citizen to digitize everything in their life.
Geospatial intelligence is already there to a large degree.
But financially, it's even worse.
The battle isn't about stopping a future CBDC.
The battle is about recognizing the financial surveillance system that already exists, says Aaron Day, and it's going to get worse.
That's the issue.
It's going to get much worse with the things that are being plotted by Trump and Lutnik and Besant and Bergam, these others.
He says, your financial sovereignty is already under attack.
And the last off-ramps are disappearing.
Disappearing. Well, a new Utah law is going to allow state vendors to be paid in gold and silver.
And that sounds really good, doesn't it?
Except, you know, it sounds like it's going to be legal tender.
Except it's not exactly what it appears to be.
When you look at the details on this, this new law, Now awaiting a signature from the governor, Spencer Cox, authorizes the state treasurer to issue a competitive procurement for precious metals-backed electronic payment platform.
Okay, that's good.
But, says Ken Ivory, who put this in, Utah became the first state to recognize gold and silver as legal tender.
Now an electronic payment system will create more flexibility by fractionalizing.
Physical, silver, and gold.
So you understand what's happening here.
This is a digital money that is gold-backed.
It's a state version of it.
And that is, again, the trap of stablecoin.
Stablecoin, whether it is backed by a dollar or backed by gold, it still allows them to do complete surveillance, destroys your privacy, your financial transactional privacy.
And it also allows them to basically turn off the switch.
So, again, this is a trap.
A digital currency backed by gold is a trap.
Go for the real thing.
There is no other alternative, quite frankly.
Nothing else is going to offer you the anonymous privacy of having physical gold and silver, or cash, or whatever.
So Ken Ivory, the representative who introduced this, said this law gives people in Utah an alternative to choose how they preserve the purchasing power of their earnings and savings.
Again, tying it to, you know, when you talk about having a stable coin, as many people pointed out, something of a joke to tie a stable coin to a fiat currency that is constantly losing its money.
Max Keiser, gold-backed stablecoins will out-compete the U.S. dollar stablecoins, he said.
I'm not interested in either one, frankly.
Gold-backed stablecoins will out-compete U.S. dollar-pegged alternatives due to gold's inflation-hedging properties and minimum volatility, according to Max Keiser, who has been Mr. Bitcoin for quite some time.
I'm very vocal about it.
He said governments of foreign nations with adversarial relationship to the U.S. will not accept dollar-pegged stablecoins.
And again, that's what they're going to try to pull using Tether, using Lutnik.
That's why he's in this position where he's in.
They're going to try to get around that by having Tether buy the T-bills that foreign governments do not want to have.
Max Keiser said, Russia, China, and Iran are not going to accept a U.S. dollar stable coin.
I predict they will counter the U.S. dollar stable coin with a gold one.
China and Russia have a combined 50,000 tons of gold, much more than what is reported.
That is much, much more than what is reported.
As a matter of fact, if we look at what is reported, the U.S. is still supposedly the number one In terms of the amount of gold that we have, something like 8,000 tons, half of it at Fort Knox, roughly.
And China is way, way down.
People don't believe that that is all of China.
But I think 50,000 tons of gold, that is a humongous amount.
Anyway, he says that they're going to try to extend the dollar's dominance.
Here's a way that Max summed it up, which I think is pretty accurate.
He said, Bitcoin is deflationary, but it is volatile.
Gold tracks inflation and is minimally volatile.
He says, the U.S. dollar has no volatility, but you are guaranteed to lose your purchasing power.
It's like a leaky drink or something, you know.
Hey, look, I've got it all in a can, except it's all disappearing as you go.
Stablecoin issuer Tether has launched a gold-backed stablecoin.
They call it Alloy.
They launched it in June of last year, prepping for this.
Tether Gold is what the dollar used to be before 1971, said one person.
And this Tether Gold is up 15.7% year-to-date, while the broad crypto market is in the red.
Now, think about this.
Why is it up only 15.7% year-to-date?
Because what this is doing...
It's essentially another rebranding and relabeling of paper gold.
And I bet if you look at the agreement for tether gold, it probably works out the same as it does for the paper gold or the paper silver, where you have bought shares not of gold or silver.
You're not buying a tenth of an ounce in gold or silver.
What you're doing is you're buying ownership into a fund.
And the fund may or may not.
Have that gold or silver in the Shanghai Gold Exchange.
You've got to watch these sharks.
They're constantly creating new instruments like, oh, look, we've got a new tether gold.
We've got a stable coin that is backed by gold instead of by the dollar.
Is it really backed by gold?
Can you really trade this thing in and get gold?
No, no.
Now, in Utah, that may be the case.
But that is certainly not the case with tether gold or with the paper gold.
Treasury Secretary Scott Besant said the administration will focus on using dollar-pegged stablecoins to protect the dollar's reserve currency status.
They've already told you what they're doing with it.
They're going to use it to try to prop up the T-bills that nobody wants to buy because we have piled up so much debt.
The March 7th White House Crypto Summit.
He said the stablecoin regime would be a top priority for this administration.
U.S. lawmakers have also introduced several stablecoin bills to establish a comprehensive regulatory framework for these tokenized fiat assets.
Think about that.
Fiat is bad enough.
Now they're going to tokenize it with derivatives.
It's not even the real thing.
This is a token that represents that.
Didn't anybody learn anything from the tokenized, securitized garbage loans?
That we're around 10, you know, what was it, 2007, 2008?
It's ridiculous.
But, of course, that's part of what the genius stablecoin bill that I've talked about, not last week, and I wasn't here, but before that, two weeks ago.
And there's also even a second one, the Stable Act of 2025.
But the other one is called the Genius Act.
So how much gold is actually in Fort Knox?
Well, they say that at the current prices, it'd be $428 billion, and yet our debt is $37 trillion.
So it means that if we were to back up the dollar with gold, then we would have 1.1% of the debt.
Now, that's just Fort Knox, and that's about half.
Okay, so 2.2%.
Great. That means that they're going to be selling off assets, folks.
And that's what these people are talking about.
Doug Burgum.
He said when he was doing the Senate confirmation hearing.
Remember, I've quoted this several times.
Well, I think that if we sold off all of our federal lands, which, again, they don't own constitutionally, if we sold off all this federal land, To whom?
To the Chinese?
To the Russians?
Who's going to be buying this stuff?
Then I think we've got $200 trillion worth of assets.
He just had an exclusive interview with Breitbart.
They love having this access.
Well, you give them access and they're like putty in your hands.
Breitbart has become just like CNN or MSNBC or Fox News.
They have become a parrot function for whatever the political party is that they are aligned with.
Breitbart, of course, being aligned with Trump and the Republicans.
I saw the same thing happen to Rush Limbaugh in his early days.
He was very independent.
Had hopes for him.
Then he just became a partisan shill.
That's what Breitbart has become, just partisan shills.
So they're very excited about the fact they had an exclusive with Doug Burgum, who is now...
Telling a different tune.
Still the same plan.
But when he told the Senate, he said it was $200 trillion.
Now, in this conference, he said $100 trillion.
We lost half of the value in just a couple of weeks?
Just a few weeks ago that he was having that confirmation hearing.
This was a Wednesday policy event that was hosted by Breitbart News, and they were able to get Doug Burgum.
The Interior Secretary to come.
Aren't you impressed at their access?
Well, of course they got access.
They'll lie for him, right?
They said the conference was just blocks away from the White House.
Aren't you impressed?
It's so amazing to me how easy these people are bought off easily.
Just give them access and big-name interviews and things like that, and you.
Own them.
So it was just blocks away from the White House in Washington, D.C., they add.
In case you didn't know, the White House was in Washington, D.C. Perhaps their readers don't know.
I don't...
Excuse me.
Fiery statements from Burgum as he was interviewed on stage by Breitbart News' Washington Bureau Chief, Matt Boyle.
And Burgum said...
You've heard more than once or twice or ten times that we've got $36.5 trillion of debt.
I mean, it's in advertisements, and we hear it all the time.
Well, he said, well, when I was going through the Senate hearings, he didn't mention the fact that when he was going through the Senate hearings, he told them $200 trillion of assets, and now that's dropped to $100 trillion of assets.
He said, I told them, you know, what's our debt?
$36.5 trillion?
Well, what are our assets?
I mean, I challenge anybody to go try to find a current balance sheet for the United States of America.
And he's singing from the same script that Besant and Luke Nick are talking about, putting our assets to work.
Well, what are our assets?
He said, well, we have financial assets.
We have national land.
That could be used as an asset to offset the debt.
And this is what they've been planning for quite some time.
That's why Trump put him in as Interior Secretary.
Now, it remains to be seen what's going to happen to this, I think it was Summit, the pipeline, the CO2 pipeline.
Going to capture CO2, pump it across the continent in a pipeline and into the ground in North and South Dakota.
And Doug Burgum and Kristi Noem, both of whom have been given cabinet positions in the Trump administration, along with the CEO of that pipeline company, met with Trump in Mar-a-Lago for this ridiculous scheme.
You see, they're going to pull the same kind of green-washed grift that the liberals are doing.
It's just going to be different people, different companies, and different types of things.
Rather than spending a lot of money on electric vehicles and chargers and things like that.
They're going to spend money on capturing and transferring CO2 into the ground 2,500 miles away.
There's your difference in Republicans and Democrats, in case you want to know.
So it remains to be seen what's going to happen with that.
They just had a setback with that.
Because they just had a court decision saying that this pipeline company cannot...
Use eminent domain to steal people's land.
So I don't know what's going to happen to that pipeline.
But these people have been not only grifting for that kind of stuff, Doug Bergman, Trump, but they've also been planning to loot the United States.
The land in the United States doesn't belong to the government.
Everything doesn't belong to the government.
You've got to get out of that mindset.
They have no legal authority to own this.
The Constitution says that they can own...
Washington, D.C., and a few ports and forts.
End of story.
The land is supposed to belong to the American people.
They're going to sell it to corporations.
And many foreign corporations.
And so, while he's talking to Breitbart, Doug Burgum says, I can tell you, as the head of Interior, head of the Interior Department, We're just an interior.
We've got 500 million acres of surface.
And Brooke Rollins has another 200 million in the U.S. Forest Service.
Now, she is the apparatchik, the Republican apparatchik from Texas running the USDA.
And for some reason, they put the Forestry Service under the USDA.
Brooke Rollins controls 200 million, and he controls 500 million.
Do you have a problem with that?
I do.
I do.
Folks, this is just communism.
It's just socialism.
And it is a complete denial of what is in the Constitution.
And the Constitution matters.
Why? Because if they have gotten rid of every aspect of the Constitution, what difference does it make anymore, right?
Like George W. Bush has said to have said.
It's just a piece of paper.
Well, it's a piece of paper that they swore to uphold as a condition of their job and their authority.
And that's why it's important.
It was a good plan, a flawed plan, because it created difficulties for them, checks and balances and other things like that.
But don't worry, they found a way around it.
It might have taken them a while.
Might have taken them a generation or two, but they found a way around it to completely subvert the Constitution.
By the way, whatever they come up with, with a technocracy, we may not see the end of it.
Our children, our grandchildren may not see the end of it, but it will end.
People will come, you know, whatever you do, people will find a way to get rid of that.
And so that's one of the things.
People... And America just haven't been paying attention to the government.
The people were paying attention to it were the politicians, and it became an impediment to what they wanted to do.
So they got rid of it.
Once this technocracy becomes an oppressive impediment, it's not going to be easy to get rid of, but we will find a way.
The mass of humanity will find a way to break free of this stuff.
But it may take a very long time.
But anyway, you've got these two bureaucrats.
One of them...
Controls and owns 200 million acres of land, and the other one owns 500 million acres.
And so Doug Burgum can add, he said, so that's 700 million acres of surface.
700 million acres of subsurface that we have mineral rights, critical minerals, oil and gas, you know, metallurgical, thermal, coal, resources, all this kind of stuff.
So we got 700 million acres of surface stuff.
Who owns those surface rights?
Those have already been sold to people.
Are you just going to get rid of them, Burgum?
Again, this goes back to the Bundy Ranch and all the things that were happening, not just with ranchers, not just the grazing rights and water rights, but also with logging rights and mining rights and other things.
Those are deeds of property, every bit as much as whatever your house sits on or your car or whatever.
But these people think it belongs to them, and they've done everything they can.
To drive off the ranchers and the farmers and the miners and the loggers.
Because the plan has always been to divvy this up with their corporate robber barons.
And then he says, and then there's another 2.5 billion acres of offshore.
In other words, this is underwater.
Their 200-mile limit that they put around the perimeter of the country.
I guess you could say those assets are underwater.
But not as far underwater as the U.S. government.
And it's debt.
Anyway, so he said, these are huge, huge assets for us.
And so Doug Burgum tells Breitbart, he says, so if you take our forests, our lands, our grasslands, our lands that are near urban areas, who is the you?
So if the corporations take all this stuff, let's just...
Translate this for you.
If the corporations take all of this stuff, all of our mineral resources, all of our offshore resources, he said, that's going to be two or three times what our national debt is.
So we can just keep spending money, right?
Again, it was just a couple of months ago that he said we had $200 trillion.
Now that's been dropped to $100 trillion.
He's kind of making this stuff up.
He said, You know, the announcement might lower the 10-year rate on interest rates because people would say, wow, these guys got it covered.
And they have a plan on how they're going to be able to pay down the debt, and they're actually in really good shape.
So he and Treasury Secretary Besant and Commerce Secretary Lutnik think if they announce this, that they're going to sell off all the country's natural assets, then the interest rates are going to go down, everything's going to be just wonderful.
You know, it turns out if you sell off everything good and beautiful about the United States, you can continue to fund these forever wars.
It's great.
Yeah, you could fund the welfare warfare state forever, right?
I mean, when you look at the exploding debt, they better act soon, because pretty soon we're going to be, even if we were to sell every natural resource that they can imagine, above and below the land, above and below the sea, even if we were able to do that, we're still going to be out of money.
As a matter of fact, again, we've...
I've been talking about Americathon.
Remember this movie that's part of the trailer?
We interrupt this theater for a bullet.
From 1998, the year America ran out of gas, oil, and cash.
Flash! People have stopped driving cars and started living in them.
Flash! The president has sold the White House, raffled off the two of the unknown soldier, and moved into a run-down condo in Southern California.
The city of San Diego has been bought by Mexico.
Bad planning is why your country is in the toilet.
The country is flat broke.
I know a way to raise money.
A telethon.
I can see Trump doing this.
A mother-son boxing match.
...in all our cars, but nobody's driving.
And now, Meatloaf versus the last living automobile.
Chet Roosevelt, your president.
And I love you.
Trump loves us too.
Chet Roosevelt.
There we go.
It's actually, this is the real Beach Boys here.
I was surprised.
They probably wanted to wipe that off of their resume.
That was an awful, awful movie.
Americathon. Elvis Costello, a bunch of people.
Was it John Ritter, I think it was?
Anyway. That was done in the background.
Of course, we're out of oil, we're out of gas, we're out of money.
And that was done as we were lining up for oil, I believe, or right after that it happened.
So everybody is walking or riding bicycles, which is what they're doing in New York right now.
They're forcing us into this.
We're not out of oil.
But these people want to make sure that we are out of space to drive our cars.
And so you have an explosion.
In Paris, in terms of bike lanes, they're doing the same thing in New York City as well.
All of this stuff is happening to us.
We're out of money.
We're out of space for driving cars.
We've got plenty of oil and gas, but they won't let us use it.
And so, when we look at where this is all headed, I think it is interesting to keep this all in perspective in terms of this crypto stuff.
You've got people like Lucky Lutnik.
I call him Lucky Lutnik because he was lucky enough not to show up to work on 9-11 when he had 650-something of his employees went down with the towers.
He had something else to do that day.
He had taken his kid to his first day of school or something like that.
He got really lucky, and he's been really lucky ever since.
Scott Bessent, who broke the Bank of England for George Soros.
Now they're on the Trump team.
It's funny how Trump's got all these people that were right at the heart of 9-11.
People like Rudy Giuliani, who got all the dust.
You know, the place was just reduced, not even to rubble, but just to absolute dust.
That's why a lot of people think it was a directed energy weapon as opposed to pre-planted explosives.
But it is truly amazing that they're...
Really wasn't much in terms of rubble.
And they got that all moved away real quickly.
They didn't take time to get masks for any of the people there.
That's why so many of them are sick and dying.
So there's 9-11 Rudy.
He's got Lucky Lutnik, all these people around Donald Trump.
So crypto for me, prison for thee.
This is from a free thought project, Matagoras.
He says, when banks embrace the blockchain, it's called innovation.
See, when Lucky Lutnik...
Or Scott Besant do it?
It's innovation.
When you try this, oh, then it's money laundering.
And we've heard this over and over again.
And I talk about specifically the case of Roger Bear.
But BlackRock is able to go out and launch an ETF.
You've had 50 crypto ETFs expected to receive approval now that we have completely done a 180 at the SEC.
Analysts predict that 2025 could be the year of crypto ETFs.
And again, why do you even need to have a crypto ETF?
We talk about doing digital gold, for example, lets you fractionalize the gold, theoretically, that they theoretically own.
But why would you have to do that with Bitcoin?
Bitcoin can be infinitely fractionalized.
Again, like a reserve, I don't understand the purpose of a Bitcoin reserve.
I don't understand, certainly, the purpose of a Bitcoin ETF.
Except that you know that they're up to something.
This gang of thieves in Wall Street.
So, again, Roger Ver is looking at prison time, but these people are looking at becoming trillionaires.
And as all this is happening, just to get you to understand how they're going to put you under a microscope.
They have now said that, and this is part of Trump, they're going to get tough on the drug war, right?
Everything is about the drug war, or it's about the border, or it's about protecting children on the internet.
All of these invasions of our freedom are always about that.
Reason says taking $200 out of an ATM should not trigger a federal financial surveillance and investigation, but it does in certain counties that are close to Mexico.
This is new policy.
From the Trump administration.
And this is taking $200 out in an ATM.
Now remember we had Dennis Hastert, the pedophile GOP Speaker of the House, longest serving Speaker of the House they had.
Dennis Hastert.
He was a wrestling coach and a pedophile.
This has been established as a fact.
And he was being blackmailed by one of his former students, but he had been selected by the GOP specifically because he was blackmailable, because he was a pedophile wrestling coach.
So they put him in Congress, and then they made sure that he became Speaker of the House, and he was there for a very long time.
And then after he retired, they found out that he was paying off this blackmailer, and the bank asked him questions because, you know, the bank is...
Coerced into being nosy and monitoring everybody.
So the bank had to ask him a question.
Why are you taking this amount of money out?
We need to know.
You know, gave him some excuse.
And then he started taking it out in regular small amounts.
They call that structuring.
But it's this money he had already paid taxes on.
Why are they involved in all of this?
It should be a non-crime.
They didn't come after him for being a pedophile.
Never came after him for being a pedophile, even though the judge referenced that when he sentenced him to jail for taking his own money out of his own bank account.
And now, they are very serious about it.
Pedophilia is still going on.
There's still no statute of limitations for pedophilia, but they're getting smaller and smaller amounts to see what you're doing.
Now, if you take $200 out of an ATM, They want the federal government, they're going to make a federal case out of it.
They want the federal government to know and start paying attention to you.
And this is all done in the name of protecting people from drugs.
You know, they have intercepted more eggs than fentanyl coming across the Mexican border now.
I'm not saying that fentanyl is not a problem.
I'm saying the war on drugs is a problem.
I'm saying that the war on drugs doesn't help anybody.
It doesn't help anybody.
It makes it all worse.
The war on drugs is why we've got things like fentanyl.
But all under Trump's executive orders about international drug cartels, calling them foreign terrorist organizations, is going to be the basis for which they're going to do this.
FinCEN, I like that.
It's like financial sin.
You took money out of your account.
You took more than $200 out of your account.
That's financial sin.
Now, it's the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network.
It's C-E-N, not S-I-N.
They announced a new rule, cracking down on cash transactions only in certain geographical regions.
But folks, the purpose of all this digital stuff and the purpose of having a ledger, which all these digital coins, whether they're from the central bank or whether they're from private individuals, are all about a public ledger that they can read.
The purpose of all this is to pay attention to every penny that you spend.
And what is really concerning about this is, and people have not, Closed the loop to think about this.
The fact that AI, and we see this to some degree with Doge, people are celebrating, oh look, this is great.
He can see everything.
There's complete transparency.
And you even had Alex Karp with Palantir.
This is a guy who lives, breathes.
All of this geospatial intelligence and surveillance of people all the time.
And he said, what the Democrats don't realize.
And I love the Democrats.
And he is.
He's a Democrat.
He loves everything the Democrats do.
He said, what they don't realize is they can't hide from this.
It's everywhere.
And he said, they need to join with it.
Join or die type of thing.
Become one with the Borg.
Whatever the Star Trek reference is, right?
So, as conservatives are celebrating the fact that Elon Musk is finding all this stuff, how is he finding it?
Well, he's scanning through this stuff very quickly using artificial intelligence.
As a matter of fact, with the JFK files coming out, Grok is pushing everybody to say, hey, you want me to analyze the JFK files and see if the CIA is involved?
It's pushing that.
It's enticing people to do that.
Because it can go through those 88,000 pages really quickly and summarize them and look for various things.
So, this is the power of AI.
They're collecting information.
They want to make everything that's visible be visible out there.
But when they bring AI to bear, then they're going to be able to data mine it, to collate it, to make sense of everything that you do.
So, FinCEN has issued a geographic targeting order.
And so, this is geofencing.
To surveil.
To further combat illicit activities and money laundering of the Mexico-based cartels.
It's illicit activities of the U.S. government.
And it's only money laundering if you're the one that is looking at novel things.
If it's being done by Lutnik or it's being done by Besant, then that's fine.
30 zip codes across California and Texas are the ones where they're going to focus in on.
Now, the interesting thing...
Is that this $200 cash withdrawal, so it can make you the subject of a federal financial investigation, the federal government first began requiring banks to log and report all cash transactions of $10,000 or more in 1952.
And so Reason looks at it and says, well, you know, the government has devalued the U.S. dollar significantly since 1952, right?
And they said, if you kept that $10,000 threshold in 1952, what would that be today?
It would be $180,000.
And so our government in 1952 was not worried about somebody taking out cash unless they're taking out nearly $200,000 today.
But now our government and its desire to know and control everything and its desire to be omnipotent, omniscient.
An omnipresent, and its desire to be God, it wants to know if you take out, not $200,000, but $200 in cash.
Because it's a war on cash.
First of all, they have destroyed the value of the money.
Now they want to destroy the cash.
Trump is starting with a penny, but he's not going to stop with a penny.
Marky Mark, thank you for the tip.
He said, Lutnik's brother was in the Twin Towers on 9-11.
If Lucky Lutnik were really tipped off about 9-11, why didn't he warn his brother?
Do you know that he didn't want to have sole ownership of it?
I know that.
Yeah, you know, one of the things that we, you know, Marky, one of the things that we make a mistake about is we constantly underestimate the evil And the technology that these people have.
I would never let my brother be murdered, but I would also not murder and be in on a plot to take down 3,000 people.
And we had somebody that did that.
However they did it, whether it was controlled explosions or whether it was directed to energy weapons or whatever, they murdered 3,000 people to kick off the first shoe of what the second shoe was to drop with a lockdown.
They did it to restructure society.
And they don't care who they kill.
Do you think these people have a conscience about the people that they vaccinated?
Do you think they have a conscience about the people that they suffocated with ventilators and the rest of this stuff?
You have to come to terms with the evil that they're capable of doing.
Don't project what you would do.
I know you would tell your brother.
I would tell my brother if I had one.
But I don't for a minute.
I think that people like him would ever be stopping at something like that.
If he had some foreknowledge of it, I don't think that that's a disproof that he would have let that happen.
Well, we're going to take a quick break.
It's been going on for almost an hour here.
We're going to take a quick break and we will be right back.
a quick break.
We're going to take a quick break.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
A penny saved is a penny earned.
Though, that's gotten tougher since they've stopped making them.
Maybe it's time to start saving a different type of coin.
Such as the new David Knight Show supporter commemorative coin.
Saving these coins earns support for independent media.
Featuring striking bas-relief with bold raised details and premium painted accents.
It's not just a trinket, but a statement, a declaration.
A way to show you refuse to be controlled by the establishment.
It's a limited run of just 100 coins.
So, much like the penny, when they're gone, they're gone.
They silence independent voices.
They censor the truth.
But you can stand with real journalism and own a piece of the resistance.
These coins saved is The David Knight Show sustained.
Available now at thedavidknightshow.com.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
All right, now, welcome back.
And I just want to make this announcement, too.
By the way, they're selling very good, but we did not get them out last week, any of the ones that ordered last week.
Our shipping department was on vacation as well.
Karen was our shipping department.
And she was on vacation as well.
My fault.
Technically, it's my son's fault.
He's too cute.
You just can't get away from him.
You don't want to leave.
That's right.
He came back and we saw our grandson for the first time, Travis' son.
And that's what we were doing last week.
And I really do, again, appreciate Gard giving us time.
But I want to mention this.
This is a package that came back to us.
And Jillian Woods, it looks like the address is fine on here, but this was returned to us by the post office, said insufficient address, unable to forward, return to sender.
So we've got your package here.
Contact us.
Send us an email at davidknightshow at protonmail.com, and we will get that back out to you.
So thank you very much for that.
And by the way...
It reminds me, we also had the website was down a bit last week because we were trying to add a shorter name to it.
We finally got that done successfully.
DavidKnight.News now redirects to TheDavidKnightShow.com.
And so we've got a much shorter name, better name, and very much like DavidKnight.Gold, which I didn't mention.
I'm talking about all of this money stuff and how you need to hold your own gold.
Well, the best way to do that, Is to go to DavidKnight.gold, not the DavidKnight.gold.
That'll take you to Tony Arterbin, Wise Wolf Gold.
You can buy gold or silver on a regular monthly basis.
Nobody else does this with Wolfpack.
And so you can buy in at a lot of different levels.
I think the lowest one is 50. They've got a kid's pack for 35. You'll get gold or silver each month.
Of course, you can also buy large or small amounts directly as a one-time thing, but he's also got the wolf pack that is there.
And I've dealt with Tony for a very long time.
I think that there is no substitute for gold and silver and for having it in physical form.
So again, you can get that at davidknight.gold.
So now we have davidknight.gold and we have davidknight.news.
So hopefully that'll be a little bit easier to remember.
Well, we had Keir Starmer, the occupant of No.
10 Downing Street right now, went to the White House and handed Trump a letter.
And it was actually an invitation.
Do you remember when this happened?
And it is my pleasure to bring from His Majesty the King a letter.
He sends his best wishes and his regards, of course.
But he also asked me to bear this letter and bring it to you.
So can I present the letter from the King to you?
Thank you very much.
Amen. You're supposed to read it right now?
You know, this is very awkward.
I've got to tell him what your reaction is, so I need to know.
He's a great gentleman.
A great, great gentleman.
I had a lot of people think, can he actually read?
Hmm, yes.
Must be a very long letter.
He's taking a very long time.
Oh, that's wild.
Oh, yes.
Wonderful. Well, that is really nice.
I must make sure his signature's on that.
Otherwise, it's not quite as meaningful.
It is, and that's quite a signature, isn't it?
Beautiful. Yeah, he's got a signature.
I don't know what it says, but...
He's a beautiful man, and we appreciate it.
I've known him, gotten to know him very well, actually.
First term, and now second term.
Perhaps you'd like to say what that...
Can you explain to people what this says?
This is a letter from His Majesty the King.
It's an invitation for a second state visit.
This is really special.
This has never happened before.
This is unprecedented.
And I think that just symbolizes the strength of the relationship between us.
So this is a very special letter.
I think the last state visit was a tremendous success.
It was.
Why?
It's an invitation.
So it wasn't something that was really, really long.
It wasn't really long.
But he had it delivered personally by his trusted servant.
Message for you, sir.
And there are many people in England who would probably love to see that happen to Keir Starmer.
Anyway, so now he has been invited for a second appearance.
Unprecedented. You should be so honored that the British monarchy is going to allow you to come a second time, especially after he touched the Queen and all the rest of the stuff the first time he broke all these different protocol things that he didn't care about.
But now, it was put out by the Daily Mail that King Charles is making a secret offer.
To Donald Trump.
Except it's not secret at all.
And Trump retweeted that article.
Said, oh yeah, this is great.
I like the idea of this at all.
So what is this secret offer?
Well, to join the Commonwealth.
Plans are allegedly in the works to make the USA the next, quote, associate member of the Commonwealth.
That's key.
Associate. What does that mean?
In February, a tariff war began between the U.S. and Canada.
With Trump signing orders to impose near-universal tariffs on goods from Canada entering the United States.
And again, every time I talk about this tariff thing.
Number one, it's a tax.
It will be paid by you.
Number two, in the past, these taxes at the border had the purpose of either being targeted to protect a particular industry.
That was what was being done in the late 1800s by McKinley and his administration.
Or, as it was done by Thomas Jefferson, because he was able to reduce the size of government to get it to fit in the Constitution, But this is not about funding the government like it was under Jefferson.
This is not about even trying to protect an industry.
And we could talk about whether or not that's an effective strategy, whether or not that works.
But it's not about that at all.
This is simply attacking a country.
A country which he had bragged about signing a trade agreement with.
USMCA, that was his thing.
That was his rebranding of NAFTA.
It was not a good agreement.
But he was the one that did it, and he broke that agreement.
So, again, will this Commonwealth, being an associate of the Commonwealth, will that defuse this trade war?
And would he abide by it?
If he became a member of the Commonwealth, would he abide by that, since he didn't abide even by his own USMCA treaty?
Suggestions for the U.S. to join the Commonwealth were first made during Trump's first stint in the White House by the Royal Commonwealth Society with the blessings of Queen Elizabeth.
By the way, the king is launching a podcast.
He's going to do it right ahead of Commonwealth Day.
Isn't that special?
Even the king is going to have a podcast.
What is he going to talk about?
What he sent the servants out to do that day?
What has he ever done?
Grooming the stool.
They're going out there.
And so I said to my servants, servants, bring me that letter.
The latest letter was hand-delivered to the president by Keir Starmer.
And so again, Trump was able to see that it was signed.
I didn't read it.
I'm sure there wasn't a lot said in there, but he just stares at it for a long time.
Maybe you could tell people what this says.
And again, a lot of people are saying, can this guy even read?
I don't think he's ever read the Constitution or the Bible.
He put that all together, but I don't think he's read any of those things.
If he has, he's not going to abide by them.
Anyway, the Commonwealth dates back to the first half of the 20th century when the British Empire was breaking up and they came up with a...
Trying to create something of a trade block out of it, or something like that.
There are no legal obligations between each state.
Some of them have institutional links to others through the Commonwealth.
The Commonwealth Charter defines a list of shared values for democracy, human rights, the rule of law between its members, and yet, what is the state of human rights and democracy and all the rest of the stuff in the UK?
Do they have free speech?
That's a joke!
I said, they'll arrest you for praying in your own home if you're close to an abortion center.
Do they have the right to keep and bear arms?
Oh, absolutely, no.
What about the free exercise of religion and all the rest of this stuff?
They don't honor any of these things.
Anyway, Trump said on Truth Social Friday morning, I love King Charles.
And of course, who doesn't love lovable King Charles?
You just want to grab him by the ears, don't you?
He's not one of the most lovable people out there, I think.
Especially since he is part of the depopulation cult that wants to kill us all.
Running the Earth League, along with John Schellenhuber, who was this Pope's leader.
It makes sense.
I bet that was just like one of those middle school notes.
Like, do you like me?
Circle yes or no.
So he's just out on True Social letting him know.
Well, actually, some people have...
It was pretty hard to find the actual clip of him handing the letter because the thing that has really taken over on Twitter is he hands him that letter and Trump looks down and then they've got a shot like over his shoulder where he's looking at the letter and it's like this cartoon obscenity about Trump.
And Trump is looking at it and then Starmer's got this expression on his face.
They keep cutting back and forth between Trump and Starmer and this obscene piece of paper that was there.
As a matter of fact, I sent that to you first to put in the...
And I realized, well, wait a minute, that's the wrong one.
But, yeah.
So anyway, Trump also reposted the same report about the king's secret offer of membership late Saturday morning.
After he put the Daily Mail article out there and said, well, sounds good to me.
We should rejoin Great Britain.
And again, maybe we could do it.
By the anniversary of our Declaration of Independence, maybe we could make America Great Britain again.
How about that?
So, Fox News.
This is from Fox News.
They actually felt the need to tell us, listen to this, the U.S. was a part of the British Empire before winning independence after the Revolution.
They felt it necessary to put that in there.
I guess they know their audience, don't they?
I'd feel insulted if I was actually somebody who followed Fox News.
But anyway, maybe their readers are really that ignorant.
They certainly aren't going to learn much reading Fox News.
So what does this really mean?
What would be the consequences?
Well, full membership or associate membership.
This is the associate member.
Something's not even been defined.
So this would be some kind of nebulous status there.
And so, first of all, there's that.
We don't really know what they're talking about in terms of membership.
So it's been floated around, but it's not something that's been done at all.
Full membership would require, most likely require, that you recognize the But some republics like India, South Africa, do not recognize the British monarch, but most of them do.
They do in Canada, for example.
Domestic politics.
A lot of Americans are not going to be too happy about Trump rejoining.
In any way, shape, or form with Great Britain on the anniversary of our Declaration of Independence.
But, of course, we already are joined at the hip.
Maybe it'd be better to say joined at the eyes with British intelligence.
That's what the five eyes are.
These people are the real government.
It's not King Charles.
It's not Donald Trump.
The real government are the spies in both of our countries, and they're the ones who are sharing information already.
So we already have a commonwealth in that regard.
In the worst regard.
But in terms of economic implications, Commonwealth members enjoy trade costs that average 21% lower due to shared legal systems, language, historical ties, and things like that.
So, again, it might be lowered, but the question is, what would we be buying from Britain?
Because the UK...
is aiming for 95% low-carbon electricity by 2030.
The UK, under Keir Starmer, is in an industrial suicide pact.
They're shutting down their power generation.
They're shutting down their steel manufacturing.
All the rest of this stuff.
They are committing industrial suicide.
Germany is just a couple of steps behind them.
England or UK is in the lead with all this stuff.
So what in the world would we even need from them or be able to get from them when they're putting themselves out of the manufacturing business?
Not even clear.
But again, it would lower tariffs.
So is that something that, is that perhaps a reason why the British are making this overture to him?
Again, understand that he put together the USMCA, but he's with Canada and Mexico, but he's ignoring that.
So, diplomatic implications.
Well, we have a special relationship with the UK.
We have this special organization called Five Eyes, as I just mentioned.
The US, UK, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, sharing information about us with each other.
And of course, having this special relationship allows them to get around any laws restricting them.
From spying on their own citizens.
And if you have a restriction, and this is why even with FISA stuff, even if they were to fix these exemptions that they have there, all they have to do is call their friends in the UK and say, I'd like to spy on these Americans without a search warrant.
The UK can do that.
And then the UK can hand the information over.
It's the same principle that they've done for the longest time with a phone company.
They, early on, established the fact that AT&T, the phone companies in general, but it was predominantly AT&T, could keep all kinds of records about who you called and so forth, and not necessarily what you talked about, but they could figure out what was going on, just having the records of who you called and who called you.
And they established the fact, well, that belongs to the phone company.
That's not...
David's data, for example.
So if the phone company wants to, if I ask the phone company, give me all of David Knight's phone records, then that's up to the phone company, and they can turn that over to us if they want.
We don't need to have a search warrant.
And that's the same game they play with these intelligence agencies as part of Five Eyes.
And then another part of our special alliance is NATO.
Are you starting to get the picture here?
Do we really want to be connected with these people?
With the five I's in NATO, now we want to have a third organization that we are connected to with them.
So if the U.S. joins as an associate member, and that's, again, yet to be defined, it could gain some modest trade and diplomatic perks.
It could reinforce the Anglosphere ties and so forth.
Full membership could transform the Commonwealth into a superpower block.
But it would risk internal friction because a lot of countries would not want the U.S. dominating.
But again, it's another Trump step towards globalism, the guy who was supposed to be nationalistic, America first, and he wants to get into a commonwealth with the king of England, especially this particular king.
But we've already seen him as part of the globalist operation.
When he did the lockdown.
So, as this article says, he's got a track record of seeking grand headline-grabbing gestures to cement his legacy.
Things like the Abraham Accords or the border wall.
Except he didn't build the border wall.
There is no cement at the border wall.
There's no wall there.
It's a gigantic door still.
So, he likes to...
Position and posture himself as if he's doing something big like that.
And of course he's got ties to that very expensive golf course in Scotland and his mother was Scottish.
It may just be about his own personal ego.
Now if you spell doge backwards you get egoed.
Maybe that's what this is all about.
His gigantic, outsized ego.
DGA, David, you have to ask the real questions.
How much dirt does Epstein have on Trump and most of D.C. media and Hollywood?
How can anyone thank King Sausage Fingers as a good man or our allies?
Stealth Patriot, thank you for the tip.
I appreciate that.
He says, Trump fighting globalism.
By doing one globalist thingy at a time.
I'm glad you enjoyed that grandbaby, but glad you're back, David.
No offense, Guardwell.
Thank you very much.
I appreciate that, Stealth Patriot.
We're going to take a quick break and we will be right back.
be right back.
you Making sense.
Common again.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
*Dramatic Music*
Well, I want to say thank you to the people who have sent us checks in the third week of March.
I want to read out first name, last initial.
Ryan F. Austin M. Stephanie K. David N. Jack H. Stacey P. William G. James F. Ronald C., Margaret Mary T., Scott C., Aaron W., Walter and Joe A., and Nelson V., who's new.
That's a very generous contribution.
I appreciate that, Nelson.
Thank you very much.
And thank you, all of you.
That is what keeps us going.
I've got a list of people who have sent us Zellen.
I've not read that since the beginning of the month, so we're going to read that coming up.
And thank those people.
They're the ones who keep the broadcast running.
And just as a reminder, in terms of tips, Rumble is okay now.
And we had issues with Rumble, and they had a lot of hitches in their payment.
They'd have to cut a check.
You couldn't pull the money out and that type of thing.
But that's been solved.
They're doing that on a regular basis.
Now we're having issues with Rockfin in terms of being able to get money out.
They convert the money into a cryptocurrency, their own.
And there have been issues with, oh, and this is a Rockfin tip from David Strauss.
Thank you very much.
I appreciate that.
But let me just caution and say that we've been having trouble getting our money out because there's just, you know, you have to have, in order to get the money out of that cryptocurrency, there has to be buyers there.
And that is something of an issue.
Heard a tale of a guard and some other people having their channels shut down.
And we have some emails about this as well.
But before we get into that, I wanted to talk about what several people have sent me things about how AI, people who are driving for a living, whether it is with a bus or whether it was an ambulance, as Handy is talking about, this is becoming a very common thing for AI.
To be monitoring and watching their driving.
And I think it's going to be putting pressure on them, obviously.
And it's already being done in a lot of different ways.
This is from listener David, who drives a bus.
He said, Guard did a great job, as usual, last week.
Hope Karen and Whistler are recovering, and nephew Whistler is adorable.
And I mention that because when Travis brought him in, I had him here, and had Travis' son here.
I don't like to use first name.
I still haven't talked to you about it yet, whether or not you want his name used.
So I just assume that you do not want his name used, just like Whistler.
So Whistler was doing the board, and I'm looking at him, and I'm thinking, should I mention the baby's name?
That's why I said Whistler's nephew.
So we'll see what happens with that name.
But anyway, he said, I wrote a letter to you three years ago about how my employer was going to give us the Amazon treatment by installing interior cameras to monitor how we drive our buses.
It sounds like Handy's dealing with the same thing now, and we got more information He said the system I'm subject to generates considerable errors, mostly with unfounded speeding claims.
Next thing it's going to do, it's going to report you to the cops if you get an automatic ticket.
And then try to convince them that that was not correct.
Anyway, seatbelts and cell phone usage.
Getting false positives on all of that stuff.
Managers have to spend hours each day manually correcting the AI reports so that we are not penalized.
The system often confuses our use of the two-way radio system with using a phone while we're driving.
And all this is happening, of course, while this is what the device looks like.
As a matter of fact, this is, let's see, here it is right here.
Here's the bus monitor.
So you've got this big monitor there to distract you while you're driving.
I don't know if you have to interact with it.
It's got some buttons across the top there.
Isn't it great how if they put a gigantic touchscreen display in front of you, that's not distraction.
But if you have a cell phone, that is distraction.
I made that comment about Tesla for the longest time.
But anyway, that's what it looks like, the monitor system.
He said a 100% safety score for us is important, not just for our reputation, but because we are paid a $2 an hour safety bonus.
Each infraction, if not corrected, is deducted from that bonus.
So again, if you use the two-way radio system that they got built into the buses, It docks you for using the phone.
We become the servants of technology.
It's gone full circle.
I've talked about when I first got into engineering, it was such a pain in the neck.
We'd have to, whenever we had computer programs, we had to do punch cards.
And it was constantly, they were constantly breaking down.
There's always a line because they didn't have enough of these machines, key punch machines.
They had 16 of them.
And it was pretty consistent that a quarter of them were broken at any given time.
And they had an IBM guy who lived there.
Very easily recognized in his white shirt and tie that he always wore 24-7, 365 while he's fixing the key punch machines.
So he had to use the card punch machines.
And it was a real hassle.
And everybody is waiting for this super expensive computer.
Everybody's queued up and waiting.
Everybody has millions of dollars for this thing, and it was crazy.
Did we lose the laptop there?
We'll get it back in a second.
Anyway, moving on.
Handy says, here's a memo I saw today regarding the new AI Big Brother that they installed on our ambulances.
I have a sneaking suspicion that they're going to use the driving data they're...
Collecting to train driverless ambulances eventually.
Oh, absolutely they will.
That's what it's going to be.
Big data.
They're collecting the data.
He says they will be right back.
Okay, so we won't take a quick break.
Something was going down, but we're back anyway.
So we'll continue.
He said...
They've changed the company driving policies to be AI driver friendly.
For example, in the past, we would approach a busy intersection, this is an ambulance, with our light and sirens, and we would slowly part the waters if there was traffic.
We would approach the intersection, slow way down to clear the intersection of the cross traffic, and then proceed with due regard.
Now they have new policies.
That if we approach an intersection with a line of traffic, we are made to shut off the lights and the siren and wait until the traffic begins to move.
Then turn on the lights and the siren again and proceed.
This is one of the hallmarks of these so-called self-driving cars.
They cannot negotiate a four-way stop, for example.
And I think you're absolutely right, Handy.
That is what they're doing with this thing.
So he says, Yeah, so, you know, people are going to be dying for AI and for the plans to roll it out.
Because we've got to have it everywhere.
It's got to be everywhere.
They've got to have to replace human drivers with AI.
And the AI is just going to sit there in traffic.
It'll get confused, as a matter of fact.
Here are the sheets that he's got.
And so, This is to assuage their fears.
Things like, is the purpose of this recording video to embarrass me?
No, it's to replace you.
It's to replace you.
And then it has a lot of, you know, what are the new AI triggered events?
And it's looking for things like They're looking at for the bus.
Are your seatbelts on?
How is your driving?
Are you going too fast, too slow?
This and that.
Are you using a cell phone?
Seatbelts buckled?
All of that stuff.
This is what they want to do to us.
And we've got more about this in terms of what is happening with AI and job replacements very quickly.
This is from Dave in South Carolina.
He says, How does one biblically justify Being opposed to all human and moral laws enacted by such a government.
And I think when he did this, I think that Gard was talking about the just war theory and principles, I guess we could say.
And he was referring to it as the myth of the just war.
I have a different take on it, and I'll tell you what my take is on it.
I said just already at the beginning of this program, I say it all the time about the Constitution.
The Constitution is not a self-enforcing document, but it does show us whether or not they have legitimate authority.
And I think that that is the purpose of the just war principles as well.
It shows us whether or not the government has legitimate authority.
We all know that war is the lifeblood of the state.
As a matter of fact, it's one of the key reasons that people would organize together and to form a government is for mutual defense.
But it still has to operate according to moral principles if it's going to operate.
And I'm not an anarchist.
I would say that, in theory, we could have a moral government.
As a matter of fact, when you look at Romans 13, the thing that gets so many Christians turned into slaves, we have a lot of pastors who will say repeatedly, well, Romans 13 says you obey the government.
End of story.
And no caveats about anything.
This was written when we had the worst part of the Roman emperors were persecuting and killing Christians.
They said, do you obey the government?
Well, it doesn't say that.
As a matter of fact, it says the government is there for your good.
The government is still to obey moral principles.
And if the government doesn't obey moral principles, even if we didn't have a constitution, if the government was acting immorally, We not only have a no obligation to participate in that immorality, you know, if the government tells you to, you got people lined up in a ditch and the government tells you to go up and shoot them in the head, are you going to obey the government because of Romans 13?
No. You're going to take that gun and you're going to shoot the guy who told you to shoot people in the head.
I hope.
I hope you're going to defend innocent life.
I think that is morally justified in that particular case.
But, you know, we are not obligated to follow an immoral government.
End of story.
And Romans 13 makes that clear.
If you look at the language, when it talks about government being an instrument for good, well, not if it's a government that is pursuing immoral evil.
And so we have to have discernment about that.
It's not a very simple, you know, all on or all off.
It's not a binary decision.
And I think that when we look, just as when we look at the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, if the people who are running the government are going to ignore that contract that they swore to uphold, then they have no authority.
And they have no moral authority.
They may have power, and they always do have power.
And so you have to use discernment as to whether you're going to resist it or whatever.
But when you look at what they're doing and how they're running a war, for example, is this a war that we even need to be involved in?
Are we the aggressors?
Are we acting preemptively before we were attacked?
Even if not, are we trying to end the war?
Is that our goal?
What is our goal in all this?
Are we trying to avoid harming civilians?
And all these things play into it.
And if we have an objective and we cannot achieve that objective, it is still immoral to just throw bodies at it.
That's what we're seeing in Ukraine.
We're seeing in Israel.
We're seeing a war that just continues on and on and on, where if they can't achieve their objective of eliminating Hamas, if that is their objective.
And they're just killing civilians.
Then it's no longer morally justified, even if they were attacked first.
So I think that it is important to look at the moral principles.
I think that governments have to obey moral principles as well.
As Madison said, because men are not angels, we need government.
But because government is composed of men, to paraphrase them, we have to have some kinds of checks and balances.
And they've gotten rid of those checks and balances.
So I think government in general is justified, but that doesn't mean that everything that it does is justified.
I think we need to take that as discernment on a case-by-case, issue-by-issue basis.
And I think the same principles apply in terms of trying to avoid harming innocent people.
In terms of breaking off an attack when you are no longer defending your life or any innocent life, I think all those principles apply the same as if somebody broke into your house.
This is from For the Love of the Road.
He's the one who did the excellent coin here.
This is a really nice coin that he did for us.
I really appreciate what Ryan did with that.
And it also comes with a little plastic stand that we printed up here so that you can put it on display.
And I'm trying to get this thing back on now.
It's not that hard to do.
There we go.
Anyway, he has a couple of questions.
He said, this is the first I've heard of rock fan canceling shows and taking donations.
Maybe you should stop the hassle with the tips.
It's probably reason enough.
I hate to see you lose a platform, but you don't...
Know what they're going to be doing.
Have you been in contact with anyone there to get their side of canceled shows and things like that?
I have not.
Like I said, we've been gone last week, and I need to talk to them and find out what the status is.
We have not had our show canceled.
Other people like Guard have.
He says Rockfin is still allowing people to tip some of the shows that have been shut down.
Guard's show.
He said, I just tipped Guard's account, see if it would go through it.
It did.
And he said they're taking money for accounts that are no longer active.
So we'll see what happens with that.
But we need to be proactive with it.
I don't know what has happened with their liquidity to allow us to get our money out of, again, you donate in dollars, they change it over to a cryptocurrency.
And I think the rationale for that beginning was they were fractionalizing things.
they would give you a commission when people signed up on your website to follow you and then they would give you if people who sign you'll get the sign up bonus but then they would allocate what people would pay on a monthly basis they would allocate that to the people that they watched so they would fractionalize that so i We don't really have any way of getting...
That cryptocurrency out of there right now.
I mentioned before that we have now activated davidknight.news to take you to our website, which is still either one, either address will still work.
The davidknightshow.com or davidknight.news will work.
Jack Lawson is going to be joining us.
You know, we had a situation with Jack in his civil defense manual, which is really...
In demand and necessary right now.
And the people who are running that for him let it run out without telling him.
They give him a warning that they're running out of inventory.
So he got caught flat-footed trying to get scheduled to get these things reprinted.
He's got them reprinted.
He's got a new website.
The new website is JackLawCast.com.
I love the classical music piece you use as your intro to the broadcast.
That is Liberty Fanfare from John Williams, and it was for the 100th anniversary of the Statue of Liberty.
And I see that some people in France are saying they want their statue back now.
I don't know.
We have to put a tax on it, I guess, before we can send it back.
Well, we're going to take a quick break.
When we come back, we're going to take a look at more of this tech stuff.
So stay with us and we will be right back.
Thank you.
Thank you.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
You are committing thought crime.
Turn off this broadcast now.
You are committing thought crime.
Turn off this broadcast now.
Commit thought crime.
you *thud* Thank you.
I like that, Travis.
Travis put that bumper together.
It's got a Clyde Lewis kind of feel to it.
I like that.
Let's talk a little bit about what is happening.
With jobs and AI.
It's already attacking jobs everywhere.
We've just been talking about that with drivers.
Handy said, this thing watches our eyes to see if we are distracted.
Yeah, five eyes.
Five intelligence agencies, I guess, but they spell it E-Y-E.
On Rumble, Knight J11 says, hey, David, I'm now an official David Knight coin holder.
Well, thank you very much.
I appreciate that.
Send one of those out to Australia.
And we put on...
If it's going to another country, you've got to fill out a form for what you're sending to that country.
So I put on their coin.
They said, you can't send coins to Australia.
All right, we'll call it a commemorative medallion because it's really big.
And they said, yeah, that'll work.
That'll be fine.
We'll do that.
Well, let's talk about what's happening with AI.
More than a quarter of computer programming jobs just vanished.
Remember, it's just a couple years ago.
People were saying, learn to code.
Well, it turns out that learn to code is not much of job security.
Computer programming ranks among the 10 hardest-hit occupations of 420-plus jobs for which we have data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
It said learn to code was supposed to save millions of would-be liberal arts majors.
But today there are fewer programmers in the U.S. than at any point since 1980, a 45-year period in which America's total workforce has grown by about 75%.
It is flatlined, actually declined, not even flatlined.
But then the real issue is in the name.
There's a difference between, and that's what the rest of the article is really about.
The difference is in programmers versus software.
Analysts, I guess, is the way that I would talk about it.
But they're talking about software designers, software developers.
So they said that has not really made that much of a difference.
They said software designers, as they call it with the Bureau of Labor Statistics, are paid about 30% more than programmers.
Programmers would be the people who would implement it.
And this is just kind of like an introductory situation.
And so there are two different types of things.
So it's not all computer programming.
And they said if you stop and look at it, when you think about AI that is putting together code, it is acting as a coder, as a programmer, but it's still going to be the software designer or the analyst who's going to meet with the company.
And decide what their needs are, design the system, and then say, okay, now I need to have the code written to implement this particular design.
And so there is a huge difference, and it's about, like I said, about a 30% difference in terms of pay with designers getting paid 30% more than the programmers.
But they said the Bureau of Labor Statistics defines programmers as human coding machines.
And so now we have artificial coding machines.
Research from people in Northwestern University, economists there, found that the job market effects of earlier generations of AI and machine learning to be quite muted, however.
They said the tools make workers more efficient, perhaps even redundant, but that same efficiency boost also causes a firm to grow, and a growing firm hires more workers.
I don't think that's going to be the case, though.
I've said this for the longest time.
A lot of people said, well, you know, we had people who did this, and then that industry changed, and they replaced it with that.
It's like, okay, I understand that.
And so, you know, they just changed over to another type of job.
I said, but we're talking about with the AI revolution when it comes, and it's on us now.
I've been saying this for a decade.
When the AI revolution comes, you're going to be doing this in all different job descriptions.
So this is going to be affecting people that are at the top.
This is going to be affecting people at the bottom and entry-level positions.
And it's going to be affecting every industry.
And that's what we're seeing here.
So the first 10 roads are going to be in the more routine programming.
The unemployment jump for programming really does look at least partly like an early visible labor market effect of AI.
Well, that's because that's what it is.
They said a recent report from California AI Outfit.
Anthropic, and again, they have their own chatbot.
It's called Claude.
And so they said in 2024 and 2025, as people were using Claude, they calculated that the share of all queries used for tasks related to each of the more than 700 occupations, they found that people using AI to perform the tasks usually assigned to computer programmers, did that more than those of any other job.
So that has been the most natural fit to this particular point.
In a majority of cases, 57% of the people were using AI to augment their work rather than to automate it entirely.
And that's a way to be used by the software designers, analysts, or whatever.
They will use the AI to augment their work, but that means that they're going to be replacing the human programmers.
Usage tilts more towards augmentation, which things like having the AI check your work, asking questions to teach you things, iterating on a piece of work rather than automation.
AI is on balance.
You use more as a tool to help you with the work that you're doing rather than automating small chunks of it.
But that is also rapidly changing.
Something called AI agents.
And that is going to be the next big displacement, disruptor, I should say.
Programmers may be more likely than software developers to have more of their job replaced by generative AI, but the sharp decline cannot be attributed to generative AI alone, they said.
Well, then what about lawyers?
Forbes has an article about will AI replace lawyers, and the answer to that is yes, in massive numbers.
I go back again to this, and it was about a decade ago, South Korea went through and did an industry-by-industry survey who was going to have their jobs replaced in terms of drivers that we're just talking about.
They said, well, we think about 50% of the driving and transportation jobs will be replaced.
But when it comes to doctors and lawyers, 70%.
They were the highest.
And of course, when you're talking about white-collar jobs, You're looking at, you know, it'd be a natural for people who are using computers all the time, people who are software designers and analysts, it'd be quite natural for them to incorporate the computer into their work.
But in terms of lawyers and doctors, it's going to be a massive displacement as well.
They think it'd be even more so than some of these jobs, again, because it is very much like what you're seeing with ChatGPT, these chatbots.
Going through and researching a lot of documents, that is something that AI could do better than driving an ambulance through heavy traffic or through an intersection.
And so you're going to have a lot more displacement with that.
Over the past few years, a growing number of legal professionals have embraced AI tools to boost efficiency and reduce costs.
Nearly 73% of legal experts now plan to incorporate AI into their daily operations.
65% of law firms agree that, quote, effective use of generative AI will separate the successful and the unsuccessful law firms in the next five years.
So the bottom line is they haven't done it yet, but they're about to do it.
They're going to do it in terms of, well, I've got to do it in order to survive.
So the AI-powered legal startups and the funding for them reached new record highs in 2024.
Total capital investment of $477 million.
Half a billion dollars invested in AI to be used for legal work.
They said the appeal for venture capitalists is the potential that 44% of legal work could potentially be automated using emerging AI tools.
Again, this is going to be paralegals, just like the programmers.
This is the way that this is going to roll out, I'm sure, especially at the beginning.
They said the investment frenzy that saw 58 funded deals in 2024 to bring AI automation to speed up contract analysis, document summarization, case research means a shift away from the slow traditional methods that have defined the legal industry for decades, saving four hours per week.
And the opportunity to increase annual billable time per lawyer by $100,000.
We also see AI is bringing something of a revolution in weather forecasting as well.
Isn't that interesting?
How many times have I talked about the American Meteorological Society?
They're meeting in Austin.
It was in 2013, I think.
And I went there to report on it.
And the fact that...
Everybody was struggling with models.
They all had computer models.
And unlike climate prediction, with weather, they could test to see whether or not their models worked.
With climate prediction, they're predicting stuff that is decades out.
So you just take their word for it.
And they trade on their reputation and their credentials.
Trust me, I am science.
The whole Fauci routine.
That's the way the climate people were working.
Well, the people who were doing actual meteorological work, they were coming up with all these different models, and there were literally hundreds of them on the floor.
You had dozens of people that were doing presentations.
I attended some of those, but everybody had a model, and everybody was playing with it, and nobody really was getting it right.
Now they've got new AI prediction model.
That is tens of times better than the current system, they say.
The new model is called Aardvark Weather.
I guess they wanted to get first in the phone book.
Aardvark. Could have called it AAA Weather, right?
It replaces the supercomputers and the human experts used by forecasting agencies with a single AI model they can run on a standard desktop computer.
It turns a multi-stage process that takes hours to generate a forecast.
And to a prediction model that takes just seconds.
And then, of course, it can also produce the person.
It can be AI-generated instead of the weatherman.
And it can create all the graphics for you without having somebody there at the green screen, like Bill Murray on Groundhog Day or whatever.
This is a real issue.
And again, all of these billionaires...
Understand this, and this is why they are coming together with the Trump administration to push this technocracy through.
From Bloomberg to Musk, and they were not on opposite sides in the last election in 2020 when Bloomberg was running.
He said the smart ones of us are figuring out how we're going to replace everybody else's jobs, and we've just got to figure out how we're going to keep them from coming after us with guillotines.
And we'll do that with universal basic income.
And everybody looked at what he said, and they said, well, he's calling farmers and factory workers stupid.
Well, yes, he was.
But that's not the point.
They're coming for everybody.
Everybody. So, tests of the Aardvark model revealed that it's able to outperform the U.S. national GFS forecasting system using just 10% of the input data leading researchers to say that it could offer a revolution in forecasting.
Question is, Are you going to believe the AI when it tells you that the sky is falling and it comes up with the next chicken little climate issue?
I, for one, am not.
That's the danger of all this stuff.
That's the other danger.
Besides taking our jobs and making sure that we own nothing and they put us on a welfare thing to pacify us, besides that, besides the surveillance, besides the control, there is the propaganda, the lies.
And that is really concerning.
Now, I said before that there's a new part of AI that's coming out, an AI agent.
And that is, they don't really talk about that much in this story about the robot dog that learns.
This is a Swedish AI startup company that's created a robot dog that is capable of learning and adapting like animals to make certain decisions and to follow specific goals.
That's what an AI agent does.
You give it generalized goals and it can work out how it's going to achieve those goals.
So what we're talking about here is an AI agent that is controlling a robotic dog.
And how long does it take before that dog turns into the Terminator?
We all love dogs and they're nice and friendly and, you know, they're...
Down low and everything, but they're putting machine guns on the dogs, and it won't be long before these two-legged robots that they've got doing somersaults and all the rest of this stuff have been given a goal, and they're going to then use the AI agent approach to execute that goal, which might mean executing you.
The Swedish AI startup is called Intuacel.
Well, NVIDIA's CEO is saying the humanoid robot revolution is even closer than you think.
This is NVIDIA's CEO, Jensen Huang.
He says it's less than five years away.
Last Tuesday, he gave a keynote address in front of a packed hockey stadium during the nearly $3 trillion company's annual developer conference in San Jose, California.
He said, he was asked what signs would show that AI had become ubiquitous.
He said, it may be when literally humanoid robots are wandering around, which is not five years away.
This is not a five years away problem.
This is a few years away problem.
So I'll be here before 2030.
Isn't that nice?
2030 has been the focus for these people, for them to have their new society in.
That doesn't need us, doesn't want us, and seeks to control us.
He said the value of it is very, very easy to determine.
He said the going rate for renting a human robot is probably going to be $100,000.
I'm assuming that's per year.
And he says, and I think that's going to be pretty good economics.
So he's talking about using it primarily initially in manufacturing.
Apple is looking at...
Including cameras in their future Apple Watch models.
And they want to put the cameras in there because, again, it's going to be part of the AI push.
Remember, we're talking about Handy.
We're talking about David, the buses and the ambulances.
And the AIs with the cameras watching you, watching the road, putting all this stuff together.
And so now we get the watches as well.
And we'll all be data generators for these people, generating...
This is why TikTok and all these other things are so important for them, because it's big compute.
They want to be able to watch humans, to learn from humans.
How creepy is that?
I think it's pretty creepy.
You know, I used to really love technology when I got into engineering.
I absolutely loathe these people now.
It's the same reason I would not go into the military-industrial complex, because I didn't like the way they were using the technology.
Now, I don't like the way they're using any of the technology.
Why? Because all the technology is being driven by the government.
And again, as we said before, war is the lifeblood of the state, and the state is going to go to war with us.
It's already at war with us in many different ways.
It's going to be escalating that much more.
And a move to position the Apple Watch as more of an AI wearable.
Multiple versions of future AI watch models that include cameras.
This will help the device see the outside world.
Well, isn't that special?
You know, I actually, when I was at Infowars, we had like little spy devices, you know, cameras.
We had a wristwatch that had a camera in it.
We had glasses that had a camera in it.
Of course, the glasses didn't really look that real, unfortunately.
So you could steer them, you know, and use them to record video.
But, you know, it really wasn't...
It didn't look real, and you could figure out that it had a camera in it.
The watch, though, you couldn't see it, but the watch was impossible to aim.
I practiced and practiced and practiced it, and I went to a book signing where Hillary Clinton was.
I could not get her in the frame to save my life.
So I don't know.
The AI watch from Apple is just going to be watching and monitoring everything and just fitting it back into all of this.
And so into all of this, the New York Times has now done yet another article about Ted Kaczynski.
He's having a bit of a moment because people are starting to see that his vision of where this is all headed was actually pretty spot on.
His solution, however, was not.
You have to make the distinction between his approach to what, of course, he's...
Goes out there and he identifies key technologies and key people who are setting those technologies up.
He basically did what the Terminator did.
I don't know which one came first.
He wrote his treatise in July 1995.
So he might have been following Sarah Connor's approach.
You know, she's going to take out the guy who developed the seminal chip and things like that.
Because that came out, the first Terminator came out in 1986.
And the second one was in the late 80s, so it might have been that he got that idea.
From watching The Terminator, I haven't seen anybody say that that was the case.
But he committed suicide, was it two years ago, I think?
He was in prison in North Carolina.
This article from the New York Times says that several years ago, James R. Fitzgerald, a retired FBI agent, found himself rereading An abstruse tract of political philosophy called Industrial Society and Its Future.
That was what Ted Kaczynski wrote, the former math professor at the University of California.
The FBI agent Fitzgerald first encountered Kaczynski's treatise in July 1995, shortly after Kaczynski anonymously mailed the typewritten manuscript to the Times and the Washington Post, demanding its publication in exchange for his promise to stop killing people with package bombs.
Fitzgerald's photocopy of the original was dog-eared and marked up with color-coded annotations that he made while trying to discern clues to the identity of the author, who was then known only as the Unabomber.
And, of course, it was his brother who, when he saw the manifesto, he said, wait a minute, that's my brother talking.
Because I'm sure that he had said, and he had a pretty unique take on things.
There weren't that many people that were saying that at that time.
But the FBI agent says, to this day, I have no particular sympathy for the author, but there have always been passages in Kaczynski's indictment of technological civilization that gave him pause.
He said, boy, I really don't disagree with this comment, he recalled thinking.
And I don't really disagree with this statement.
But he's a killer.
And we've got to catch him.
Fitzgerald recited one of Kaczynski's numbered paragraphs, 173.
Which had been on his mind in light of AI's rapid advance.
Kaczynski wrote, If the machines are permitted to make all their own decisions, we can't make any conjectures as to the results because it is impossible to guess how such machines might behave.
Paragraph 92. Fitzgerald remembered and reconsidered amid the COVID-19 vaccine mandates of which he was personally skeptical.
Quote, This is from Kaczynski.
This science marches on blindly, thus science marches on blindly, without regard to the real welfare of the human race or to any other standard, obedient only to the psychological needs of the scientists and the government officials and corporation executives who provide the funds for research.
I've said many times that Hugo de Garris' book, here it is, it's out of print, Now, I have a pristine copy of it.
It's not dog-eared, but it does have little tabs in it, because I've read it a lot.
The Art of Lake War, by Hugo de Geras.
He's a researcher in artificial intelligence.
And this very thing.
He said he would ask one scientific group after the other, if you knew that you were going to create something, AI, that was going to destroy humanity, would you do it?
And he said they always would say yes.
They would always say yes.
This is one of the things I saw in technology.
One of the things I saw with the military-industrial complex.
People really didn't care what it was that they were making.
It was just a puzzle to them.
Now, of course, people like Fauci have got a different agenda, but the people who are actually doing the work and creating the stuff, it becomes an intellectual puzzle to them, and it becomes something of an ego thing to them as well when they look at it and say, well, you know, this might wind up just killing everybody, but let's do it anyway.
We saw that with the atomic bomb.
They didn't know if they were going to light the atmosphere on fire in a chain reaction that would destroy the earth, but they did it anyway.
And so, it was interesting.
Hugo de Garis said the only time, it was at a conference that I was speaking at, it was a Christian conference, and he asked the audience that same question.
And that was the first time that an audience, and it was an overwhelming no, came back.
First time.
You see, All these problems are downstream from spiritual issues.
Culture is downstream from the spiritual.
And the politics is downstream from cultural.
And this is especially true with this.
This is one of the reasons why this stuff is happening.
It's because we've lost our way morally and spiritually.
Anyway, yeah, there is no...
Standard. They don't care about the welfare of the human race.
They're obedient only to the psychological needs of the scientists, the egos, or the money desire.
We see this throughout science.
We see this throughout big pharmaceutical companies, the rest of it.
We see this especially throughout the government with their wars.
And Fitzgerald said to himself, he said, you know what?
Old Ted was maybe on to something here.
New York Times says, Online, there is a name for this called Ted Pilling.
Instead of Red Pilling, Ted Pilling.
I actually refer to people who write about it on Reddit and other places.
I call him Uncle Ted.
Uncle Ted.
To be Ted Pilled means to read paragraph one of Kaczynski's manifesto, its assertions that the mad dash of technological advance since the Industrial Revolution has made life unfulfilling.
Quote, unquote.
Made life unfulfilling.
We can really see that now, can't we, with AI?
The mad dash to that and how unfulfilling it's going to be when everything we do, if we have a job, it's going to be AI watching our every move and breathing down our neck.
Paragraph 156 says new technology tends to change society in such a way that it becomes difficult or impossible for an individual to function without using that technology.
To read paragraph 174's warning of a near future in which human work will no longer be necessary and the masses will be superfluous.
Again, he wrote this stuff back in the 1980s, 40 years ago.
Most of the Ted Pilled stop well short of Luigi Mangioni, the guy who shot the insurance executive in the head.
But he was a big fan of Ted Kaczynski, of Uncle Ted.
He was Ted Pilled.
He actually gave the manifesto a four-star rating and said, quote, it's simply impossible to ignore how prescient many of his predictions about modern society turned out.
Well, you can understand that and still not support his violence.
He killed three people.
He permanently disfigured 23 or more or crippled for life.
But how does that...
Compare with what Fauci has done.
Gates has done.
What they are about to do.
Kaczynski's 2023 death by suicide in a federal prison in North Carolina.
At that point in time, he had mailed out, as a matter of fact, he began mailing these things out, they said, in a world that was very, very different from what we have today.
He mailed off his...
Manifesto two months before the IPO of Netscape, the first browser, in what were, for many Americans, says the New York Times, the last days of the pre-internet era.
Thirty years later, we occupy a disorienting moment when the visions of techno-optimists and techno-pessimists alike seem on the verge of realization, when a miraculous future And a dystopian one seem at once within our reach and also beyond our control.
And so they said, you know, when all this stuff happened, mid-90s, you know, he was arrested about a year after Timothy McVeigh.
As the New York Times said, they had conservatives who had taken a lot of heat.
Everybody was blaming the conservative movement for what Timothy McVeigh did.
I think he was a government agent.
But they were blaming him for that.
Again, it wasn't what it appeared to be by any means at all.
But I won't get into the Oklahoma City bombing.
But there had been a lot of attacks on conservatives, and so people like Rush Limbaugh and Cal Thomas said, well, this guy is coming from the left.
He taught at Berkeley, and he looks like an academic.
He sounds like a left-wing nut.
He's all pro-environmentalist and all the rest of this stuff.
So they said Rush Limbaugh called him a left-wing nut.
Kyle Thomas said, now that one of their own has been implicated in the horrid deed of bombs by mail, what are they going to do about it?
They've been talking about radical extremism.
But as New York Times points out, he really kind of defied pigeonholing.
Yes, he did have a lot of leftist...
Stuff about the environment and other things like that in it.
But he was really, one of the reasons why he is moving forward, he really was outside of this left-right paradigm.
He said, he wrote, you can't get rid of the bad parts of technology and only retain the good parts.
He said it would be better to dump the whole stinking system and take the consequences.
I think I'm Ted Pilled as well.
What distinguished him was his conviction that technological society needed to be demolished as quickly as possible, but he said with violence, which I don't agree with.
This earned him acolytes from a lot of people across the spectrum of violence who are always looking for rationale to commit violence.
But he, besides anarchists and neo-Nazis, The people who looked the most at his book were the people who were technologists, said the New York Times.
Ray Kurzweil, the guy who was part of the singularities, connected with Peter Thiel and Google and all the rest of these people.
And he is, I guess, one of these, he would be a techno-optimist.
He was, Hugo de Garris would talk about him.
He said, Hugo would talk about...
What was going to be possible negative consequences?
Kurzweil was always about the Pollyanna positive attitude.
But Kurzweil said, I was surprised at how much of Kaczynski's manifesto I agreed with, even though he's a techno-optimist.
In Kurzweil's 1999 book, and this tells you where he's coming from, The Age of Spiritual Machines, that's what Kurzweil wrote about.
He said when he showed Bill Joy, the co-founder of Sun Microsystems, a passage from the Manifesto on the Future of Artificial Intelligence, Joy found himself troubled.
He later wrote, As difficult as it is for me to acknowledge, I saw some merit in the reasoning in this simple passage.
So the techno-optimist shared Kaczynski's view that technology was not a series of innovations, says the New York Times, but it was Really, what technology was about was a holistic, self-perpetuating machine.
They agreed, whether they were optimist or pessimist, they agreed that the near future would be one in which human existence was ruled by a system that humans did not control.
Technology for technology's sake.
It's not surprising that broader interest in Kaczynski began to take upward in the early 2010s as the average person's daily experience of technology shifted.
From discrete tools and entertainment devices to near-constant participation in powerful, inescapable networks.
Kaczynski's vision of species-wide rebellion against our own creations was far-fetched in 1995, but in 2025, even his personal retreat from technological society seems practically impossible.
The robots will be everywhere soon enough.
And only the people who build them can afford to buy land in Montana these days, writes the New York Times.
The sense that there was no escape from technology and its consequences has fostered the very loose, very online ethos known as Doomerism, an irony-mediated marriage of nihilism and utopianism in which the apocalypse is inescapable, but the possibilities on the other side of it are vast, unencumbered by the constraints and the cramped imaginations of politics as we've known them.
And you need to understand this because this is the perspective of the people who have now bought Trump and are now in control of our government.
You need to understand where they want to go, what their mindset is.
When you look at their idea of the singularity of living forever with technology and so forth and so on.
And their other contempt for the rest of humanity.
We have seen what they have at their disposal is technology like no...
No dictator or tyrant has ever had at their disposal.
And their contempt for humanity is unmatched except by the kinds of people that ran the Roman Empire.
Nero, Domitian, and other people like that.
So the sense that there is no escape from this is a dumerism.
Kaczynski's manifesto is less a blueprint for resistance that he hoped it would be than a theoretical framework for understanding.
The dystopia that we now must figure out how to live in and how we got here.
Or how you need to prepare against it.
Again, it is technology for technology's sake.
And I'll just say this as well.
It's interesting to see even churches embracing aspects of AI as a de-babelizer.
Remember that from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy?
Where you could instantly translate any language and you could hear it.
And so this is from a Christian website.
They're talking about the fact that this church has got a lot of people who are, well, the drummer, the worship band, doesn't speak any English at all.
But now with this new app, and guess what the app is called?
Worldly. Worldly.
It's telegraphing it, isn't it?
Because you go back and you look at the Tower of Babel.
What was the issue with that?
Well, rather than be fruitful and multiply and spread out all over the earth, we're going to concentrate ourselves into the city.
We're going to concentrate power.
And we're going to concentrate our population.
And we're going to be under the rule of a charismatic leader.
And we're going to do all these things.
And that was when God confused their languages.
And now that's all being undone.
You know, it was undone at Pentecost, wasn't it?
Everybody heard the apostles speaking in their own language.
The first debabilizer was right there.
And so that was, in essence, part of a reversal of the curse of the pride and the contempt for God that was there.
And it really is, you know, being unified is a good thing.
It would be a good thing.
But not with the way that human nature is.
Human nature, as it is right now, if we have a world government, it's going to be a horrific thing.
And the more power is concentrated into the hands of a few, it's more of a horrific thing.
It has to be mediated by people who have been transformed by Christ.
Otherwise, it's going to be really awful.
And I don't mean that they are going to set up some kind of a theocracy either.
No, it's about the kingdom of God is within you.
Because he wanted this guy, this drummer, and other non-English speaking people in the congregation to be able to better hear and understand the service, he went for a translation solution about a year ago when he stumbled upon Worldly, an AI startup founded in 2017.
And so the church has now gone Worldly.
I'm going to reverse the curse here.
It does about 60 different languages that are there.
And look, that's fine if you want to translate the gospel into other things.
But here's the danger.
The danger is that you come to see it as this all-powerful guy.
If it's a tool, fine.
But don't look at it as anything other than a tool.
Don't believe it when it talks to you.
If it can accurately predict the weather, fine.
Good. Use it as a tool for that.
Still don't believe it when it tries to tell you about climate, because it doesn't have the data to make that analysis.
And we're going to talk more about this when we come back, but I'll just leave you with this.
Here's the danger, right?
Simply, he's got some people in his church that don't speak English, and so he's going to use this AI translator.
But here's a group here, how AI is helping to further the gospel.
This person says, we're living in Pentecost, but it's not Pentecost.
It's not God.
It's an imitation of God.
When Musk comes out and says, I'm going to let blind people see it, lame people walk, and now we're going to reverse the curse of multiple languages and all the rest of this stuff.
You see where this is headed, don't you?
It's headed into a fake imitation of God.
And that is a very dangerous thing.
In this other article, this person says, we are living in Pentecost for the first time since Pentecost, and really going back to the Tower of Babel, languages have been a barrier.
And so this is a miracle.
The only reason that the global church was able to gather for the first time is because of that technology.
And I heard this when you had people like Al Mohler People like Robert Jeffries and all these people who now gather around Trump and let Paula White lead them in prayer for Trump and for prosperity and all the rest of their, whatever they're praying for.
People like Al Mohler, Robert Jeffries were saying that the MRNA Trump shot was a miracle.
It was a moonshot.
It was like, well, I agree with the moonshot aspect.
But, you know, they're pushing it.
So this is great.
You know, this is from God calling it a miracle and worshiping it and harming people.
It is a fake Pentecost.
It is an imitation of God.
And we need to have the discernment to understand that.
Well, we're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back.
Here's a little song I wrote.
You might want to hear it in your pod.
You know nothing.
And be happy.
Ain't got no cash.
Ain't got no car.
But 24 booster shots in your arm.
Oh, nothing.
Be happy.
You can't even buy s***.
In the store because of your low social credit score.
Good thing I have The David Knight Show to keep me informed on the plots of these traitors.
Making sense.
Common again.
This is The David Knight Show.
Hello, it's me, Volodymyr Zelensky.
I'm so tired of wearing these same t-shirts everywhere for years.
You'd think with all the billions I've skimmed off America, I could dress better.
And I could, if only David Knight would send me one of his beautiful grey McGuffin hoodies or a new black t-shirt with the McGuffin logo in blue.
But he told me to get lost.
Maybe one of you American suckers can buy me some at thedavidknightshow.com.
You should be able to buy me several hundred those amazing sand-colored microphone hoodies are so beautiful.
I'd wear something other than green military cosplay to my various galas and social events.
If you want to save on shipping, just put it in the next package of bombs and missiles coming from the USA.
you you you Thank you.
you.
Well, let's talk about the EU crane.
And as we look at the application of technology there, we see that drones have really taken a big toll on traditional, very complex, very expensive equipment, like the state-of-the-art tanks and other things like that.
We have something that's been developed by Ukraine.
They call it a Fury BattleBot.
That's their name for it in Ukrainian.
If you look at it, it looks kind of like a primitive Dalek from Doctor Who, I guess.
Exterminate is what they're looking to do.
Ukraine's military leadership announced on Tuesday that it is deploying machine-gun-equipped robots to the front line.
Now, these are not being run by AI.
They're not autonomous killer robots.
These are remotely controlled.
Line of sight.
So they've got somebody who has, you know, it's not a wire course, it's wireless.
But it has to be line of sight, and it's only got a range of about 2 kilometers, about 1.2 miles.
And with that, they can drive it, and they can fire the gun.
Ukraine launched this effort.
Also, as they're launching this, because they don't have enough personnel, and as they're adapting to all this stuff, they also are trying to recruit more soldiers, especially the younger ones, 18 to 24 years old.
And they have a new recruitment ad, which has to be seen in order to be believed.
This is what they're telling people.
They're going to give them a $24,000 bonus, but they've got to break this down so that the 18- to 24-year-olds can understand it.
Something that they want.
So what they do is they talk about it in terms of McDonald's cheeseburgers.
How many cheeseburgers can be bought for $24,000?
Yes, this is definitely the question from the Ministry of Defense.
Let's go figure it out, he said.
A single cheeseburger is only $1.55 in Ukraine.
So you can get $15,625?
I would like to ask you something else: to earn 1 million dollars?
You want to protect Ukraine and become the military army?
If you want to become a soldier and defend Ukraine, hey, it comes with a bonus of a cheeseburger.
I love the way he says cheeseburger.
Reminds me very much of...
Of what we had with Saturday Night Live.
And that was the guys, remember, they had, and it was actually a real place.
I've actually been there.
Karen and I were in Chicago, and we went to the place where they take your orders and, Cheat Burger, Cheat Burger.
That's why he says that as well.
No Coke, Pepsi, right?
And just barking orders at people and hurrying them up.
Hurry up, hurry up, you know, give me your order.
All right, now, that's the way that place really is.
It's kind of legendary there in Chicago.
But yeah.
You can get a lot of cheeseburgers there as well.
So the military is trying to recruit people by giving them a bonus and explaining to them what that bonus is worth in cheeseburgers.
Because maybe, since they're connected to the U.S. government, maybe they have a currency that is declining in value as well.
Immense controversy and backlash.
Unleashed in Ukraine after the country's defense ministry decided to make a fresh recruitment video on TikTok, bizarrely using the lure of McDonald's.
Desperately seeking to gain more young recruits and the army's depleting ranks.
Also at a moment, the disturbing video showed conscription officers yanking Ukrainian men off the streets and shoving them into vans.
Remember that?
I played clips of that.
The Great Escape.
You know, they caught these guys.
Gonna recruit them.
They're now telling Ukrainians how many cheeseburgers they can get at a McDonald's for fighting Russia.
Isn't that a great idea?
One person said, imagine getting yourself shot in the trenches for a Happy Meal.
And yet, here we are in America.
You want to talk about cheeseburgers?
As I said at the beginning of the program, we have DoorDash now doing microloans to people to buy Hamburgers and tacos and that type of thing.
One person responded to that and said, well, why stop with just the hamburgers and doing microloans?
Hear me out.
A single contract for a burrito is incredibly risky.
Anyone willing to pay for a burrito in installments can't be trusted to pay their debt.
But what if we pooled the payments together?
The risk would go away entirely.
Which is basically what they did with the...
You're going to invest in some subprime prime rib.
That's good.
Subprime prime rib, yeah.
That's what they do with subprime mortgages.
So, you know, if you've got a whole bunch of really untrustworthy people who can't pay back their loan for their hamburger, you know, like Wimpy or something, if you put all the Wimpies together into some kind of a financial instrument, now suddenly all the risk goes away.
And as DoorDash is selling this, DoorDash and Klarna have signed a deal where customers can choose to pay for food deliveries with interest-free installments.
Or you can pay for it in a long installment with interest.
So when they push this out, DoorDash is using words like empower, freedom, flexibility.
That's how they're selling this to people.
Yeah, it's really empowering to go into debt, isn't it?
You feel the freedom of debt slavery?
It's everywhere there.
Well, anyway, this campaign is also trying to sell them things like mortgage subsidies and free college education.
But I imagine people who think that far ahead are probably not interested in laying their life down for this war.
So they go for the hamburger approach.
McDonald's has got these people to sign up.
Meanwhile, back at this drone thing, that doesn't look too effective.
Now, I think it's very important when you look at asymmetric warfare, when you look at the drones, they've been very, very effective.
Taking out these tanks that cost $10 million and things like that.
And asymmetric warfare is a very, very important thing, and it's going to be happening.
But when you look at this, this is a battery-operated...
Drone. They call it a drone.
It's on the ground.
It's got a battery life of up to 72 hours and a range of up to 20 kilometers.
A driving time of up to 3 hours.
This is the lunacy of putting electric vehicles on the battlefield.
It really is stupid.
But I think what is even dumber than that is what President Trump has done and is proposing to do.
With this new, incredibly expensive, $20 billion futuristic fighter jet, the F-47.
The F-47 will be the most advanced, most capable, most lethal aircraft ever built.
An experimental version of the plane has secretly been flying for almost five years, and we're confident that it massively overpowers the capabilities of any other nation.
There's no other nation.
We know every other plane.
I've seen every one of them.
And it's not even close.
This is at next level.
You know, level five is good.
Next level expense.
The F-47 is equipped with state-of-the-art stealth technology.
It's virtually unseeable.
And unprecedented power.
It's got the most power of any jet of its kind ever made.
Maneuverability likewise is the — there's never been anything like it, despite the power and speed.
Its speed is top.
It's over two, which is something that you don't hear very often.
It's over two.
America's enemies will never see it coming.
Hopefully we won't have to use it for that purpose, but you have to have it.
Gotta have it.
It's huge.
Whatever happens, they won't know what the hell hit them.
It's huge.
It's big.
The F-47.
Well, again, we keep going big and expensive.
Why? Because that's what the military-industrial complex wants.
Big and expensive is not necessarily the way to go.
As a matter of fact, you know, when we look at the current military-industrial complex, this is a contract that was won by Boeing.
Boeing, aren't they the ones who stranded those astronauts for almost a year with their leaky spaceship that they have?
Yeah, it's how did they win a competitive contract?
Who knows?
As a matter of fact, they said the president insisted that the generals came up with this name.
Which is a nod to him being the 47th president.
I guess the F stands for the grade that he gets for being president, or maybe it's the grade that Boeing gets for their designs, as they've got planes that are falling apart, spaceships that are falling apart.
Now we're going to spend $20 billion on this plane.
Now that's not per plane.
But those days are not far away where they will be spending $20 billion per plane.
But this is how bloated and out of touch the military-industrial complex is.
Keep making more and more expensive, more and more complex machines.
And yet, when we see what happens on the battlefield in an asymmetric war, they continue to lose these wars on the ground.
And I think an interesting book, I've mentioned this before, Daniel Suarez wrote a book called Kill Decision, and it's about this very thing.
It was about swarms of drones, and it's very interesting how the thing unfolds, but basically some of the companies that are going to survive are going, it's going to be a complete restructuring.
Of the military-industrial complex, different companies that are going to be there.
It's going to be companies like Lucky Palmer's company are really going to be the important ones as opposed to Boeing.
Boeing is going to build it, and the same people did Starliner and had everybody, these two astronauts, lost in space for such a long time.
The way Trump said in his announcement, after a rigorous and thorough competition.
It went to Boeing.
Okay. Well, meanwhile, in Germany, we have the voice from Russia, that CH, says the leader of Germany calls him the new Fuhrer of Germany.
His name is Fred Mertz.
They say Friedrich.
Friedrich. You know, like in Frankenstein, Frankenstein, whatever.
But this is not the Fred Mertz from I Love Lucy because he would have some splaining to do if he did this kind of stuff.
But this Fred Mertz, as he points out, after more than 80 years, Germany once again has a Fuhrer who is in no way inferior to the old one in terms of mendacity and megalomania.
While spending sums that are unimaginable for most people, certainly for the Germans.
Germans are very tight-fisted with this money in the past.
We do the math while our optimism withers.
He said, this has never happened before.
We've got a man who has not even been elected chancellor, yet he negotiates the biggest borrowing in the history of the Federal Republic of Germany with parties that lost the election.
And a Bundestag that has long since been disassociated.
He said, if you describe Fred Mertz's current behavior to a German 10 years ago, they would have told you that you're insane.
But this Fred Mertz, who refuses to form a coalition with the AFD because he accuses them of right-wing extremism, is preparing Germany for war against Russia.
So what does right-wing extremism mean anymore?
The AFD wants peace with Russia.
Russia seeks peace.
The Americans want peace.
But Fred Mertz opposes all those who seek peace.
They are saying that $1.7 trillion could be spent in this defense buildup.
And that is what we're seeing in Ukraine.
Handy said...
We can't have a de-babelizer AI on the ambulance to assist with language barriers.
No, we get a digital overlord to constantly scrutinize and tattle on us.
On Rumble, DG8 says, David, can Trump speak without bragging and using 15 adjectives to describe anything he does?
Evidently not.
Well, we're going to take a quick break and we will be right back.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Well, welcome back, and I want to thank the people who have contributed to us on Zelle.
I mentioned the people who had sent in checks earlier in the program.
Again, if you want to know how to support the program or if you want to know where to find the program in various formats, if you're watching it now in one format, you'd like to listen to, let's say, the audio podcast because you're watching it Maybe now in a video format or watching it live.
You can find all those links at now davidknight.news.
Same website.
The old address will take you there as well.
But at davidknight.news.
You can also find out how you can support us.
We have the information as to our PO Box as well as Zelle Connections, Cash App, other things like that.
But I want to thank the people on Zell who have supported us.
Going back to the beginning of the month, Austin M. Thank you very much.
Kevin M. Michael L. William Daniel W. Maurice W. Adam D. Michael P. Rogelio J. William R. Julie W. Kelly K. Kimberly M. Ralph M.
I'll get the next page here.
Susan L. William R. Sean S. Julie W. Susan L. Robert F. William R. Mary Ellen Gretchen C. Kenneth C. Wayne H. Benjamin R. Lois I. Susan L. David S. Sally D. Susan L. William R. Linda M. Marcos V. Julie W. Manny
D. Mitchell P. And that is up to this morning.
So that's for the month of March.
Thank you all very much and appreciate that.
We're a bit light this month because we took off last week, but we really do appreciate your support.
And especially we see many of the same people each month there.
I want to talk a little bit about Snow White, which I think...
Got released on Friday.
It was either released last Friday or coming up this Friday.
I think it was released last Friday, was it?
I don't know.
I have no intention of going to it.
But I thought it was kind of interesting to see Greg Laurie's take on this.
A lot of people know Greg Laurie.
They just did a movie about his mentor.
And Greg Laurie's character was in there as well.
He's got a large church out in California.
But he says that this Snow White, Lacks the moral clarity of the classic 1937 film.
And I thought, well, moral clarity, that's kind of interesting because one of the things in terms of the moral clarity of Disney especially, but all of Hollywood, has always been follow your heart.
And yet we understand as Christians that the heart is desperately wicked.
It's not a good guide necessarily, right?
You don't want to violate your conscience.
But your conscience is not necessarily a sufficient guide.
You should never violate it, but always let your conscience be your guide, said Pinocchio.
Not Pinocchio, but Jiminy Cricket to Pinocchio.
So there's always that, and that is a constant theme out of Hollywood, and you should be aware of that because that is really what they're selling.
But he had some good points here.
He said the 1937 film, of course it was officially titled Snow White, And the Seven Dwarfs.
It was Hollywood's first feature-length animated movie.
It was widely, I mean, it really moved Disney up on the map.
I think they gave him like seven little miniature Oscars or something like that, you know, when he won it for animated film.
The original story, said Greg Laurie, is a moral fable and it has biblical parallels.
And let me play for you what he had to say.
Snow White is a moral fable.
It's a story about good versus evil written by the Grimm brothers.
A tale about a vain queen so obsessed with her own beauty and status she's willing to murder an innocent girl just to remain the fairest in the land.
Sound familiar?
That's basically the story that we read about in the Bible about Lucifer, a once...
High-ranking, powerful angel who wanted to take the place of God with himself.
The problem with Lucifer is he was in love with his own image.
He wanted to be in the place of God.
So how does this story end?
Well, evil is defeated, and the queen in all of her vanity meets a ruin, and Snow White is resurrected from her death-like sleep, saved by the prince.
And what does she sing?
Someday my prince will come.
Which, if we're being honest, is not all that different from a Christian worldview.
The original Snow White carried the message that one day the Prince would come, the true Prince, the one who raises the dead and defeats evil once and for all.
But the new Snow White?
No, we can't have that.
Zegler, along with the film's producers, proudly declared that Snow White wouldn't be waiting for true love.
Instead, she would be dreaming of becoming a fearless leader.
Fearless leader of what, exactly?
She refused to sing Someday My Prince Will Come, the signature song of the original film, dismissing it as, again, weird.
Instead, she's got a new song, Waiting on a Wish, a song about, you guessed it, Female empowerment and self-sufficiency.
Because heaven forbid we acknowledge the timeless human desire for love, redemption, and rescue.
By the way, Disney has sunk $270 million into this movie, hoping audiences will embrace this new vision of Snow White.
Time will tell how that turns out.
Isn't that interesting?
Well, now you don't have to watch it.
You can save them money.
And hopefully watch them lose that $270 million.
As he said, they've lost the point.
I think they've lost the plot, quite frankly.
And it goes beyond that.
For the longest time, Disney, as well as other franchises, have been celebrating the villains.
Whether you're talking about Maleficent or you're talking about the Joker, they want to celebrate evil.
It couldn't be more obvious, could it?
He said...
Zegler labeled the song extremely dated because she doesn't want to have any dating at all.
She doesn't want to have any companionship.
She wants to go it alone.
And, of course, he's not the only one who's talking about this.
Others have reviewed it.
So much of the first half of the movie follows the familiar story from 1937, the cartoon.
The evil queen becomes jealous of Snow White.
When the magic mirror suggests that perhaps Snow White has grown to be the fairest of them all.
But then this movie starts to chart its own path.
This version of Snow White is something of a girl boss.
Should have called it Mary Sue.
Mary Sue and the Seven Dwarfs.
There you go.
Her father raised her to be a leader.
And she is not going to stand aside and let her kingdom suffer under the tyranny of her evil stepmother.
There is no Prince Charming in this story at all.
She finds seven equally eccentric bandits led by a Robin Hood-like character who help her to save the kingdom.
So there she is.
She's going to do this all on her own.
If you're going to depart from a classic story that says this review on World, you ought to make sure that your story is better than the original.
And that is not the case, definitely, with this one.
They said, This live-action Snow White is merely a disjointed pile of cliches.
The plot points are nonsensical.
The dialogue is cringe-inducing.
The action scenes are pathetic.
Even the sets and costumes look cheap.
This is what has happened to Hollywood in general.
It's why I don't even bother to go to movies anymore.
The plot lines are...
Disgusting, degenerate celebrations of evil.
But the craftsmanship is not even there.
When you look at this recent filming of Wicked, for example, not only does it celebrate Wicked, And witches and so forth.
But it looks awful.
One of the worst looking...
It's become famous on the internet, on YouTube, for people criticizing the way it's lit, the color, all the rest of the stuff.
You know, we just had the company Technicolor go out of business.
It's a fascinating process.
There's a lot of videos you can find on YouTube where they talk about how the Technicolor process worked.
But it truly was ingenious and amazing.
And when I was talking to Whistler about it and how complicated it was, they actually had as big as those cameras were.
And with all the film that they were using, they actually had prisms that were split up and they would record three different versions of it.
And then they would invert the negatives and then recombine them.
It's a very long and complicated process.
But even the camera was gigantic.
The camera had three cameras in it.
It was humongous.
So it took all kinds of ingenuity to get this thing to be able to follow them on a dolly shot or to fit it into a room or something like that.
It was incredibly expensive, incredibly heavy, incredibly hot, as were the lights that they had.
But the results spoke for themselves.
And I've talked about this before when I talked about music.
Digital audio workstations that we have today versus the tape.
Type of recording that was around just a few decades ago.
And how it is lossless and you can run this stuff over and over again.
It's very, very convenient.
But one of the guys who, he said, he's about my age and he said he started as a recording engineer and he's gone through all this from, you know, when they only had four tracks where they had, you know, 16 and more.
He worked in recording studios.
And he said, and you had to carefully plan the stuff out because each time you mixed it down, you had losses and those generations and things like that.
But it was also a very expensive process.
And he said, you actually got better results because the musicians would show up prepared.
They knew they didn't have an infinite, costless opportunity to do it over and over again.
And so it was something of a live performance.
And when I was talking to Whistler about it, he said, yeah, when you have all kinds of technological issues that you've got to overcome, it really helps start these creative juices flowing.
And when people have to overcome these issues, they get more creative in other aspects of the artwork that's there.
And I think that's one of the things that's happened.
People have gotten dumbed down and lazy.
So much is being done for them.
They don't even think about it.
The lighting is flat now.
Everything about it, the color is washed out.
It doesn't have those vibrant, deep colors.
But again, cringy dialogue.
Movies that never cost so much to make and looked so bad.
That's right.
Yeah, the money is not up there on the screen, as they say.
It's going into somebody's pockets when it costs that much and looks so bad.
That's a good way to put it.
So again, the action scenes are pathetic.
Even the sets and costumes look cheap.
Disney's attempt to update this film for a modern audience turned an already troubled production into an absolute dumpster fire.
Before the evil queen showed up, Snow White lived in a perfect utopian socialist kingdom.
Wait, how can you have a king in a socialist paradise where everyone shares?
Never mind these pesky questions.
What's important?
It is that the bounty of the land belongs to all who tend it, quote-unquote, says Snow White.
So, they go on to say Snow White teaches those she meets to stand up and to use their voices.
Tyranny cannot withstand a people united under the righteous cause of socialism.
They said if the preachy politics weren't bad enough, the hypocrisy gets pretty thick, too, in the original cartoon, Snow White tidied up the dwarf's cottage as a thank you for letting her stay.
We all owe McCarthy such an apology.
Such an apology, man.
Yeah, the Gramsci Marxists have done their job.
They have taken over.
They marched through every single institution.
Yeah, especially beginning in the movies.
Franklin Institute, the rest of it.
Housework, they said.
However, it is obviously beneath this modern Snow White.
Zegler would never do housework.
And he wants you to look for Prince Charming.
So, her exploitation of these seven marginalized dwarfs isn't much different from the queen's extraction of wealth from the kingdom.
She has them wait on her hand and foot.
Because, you know, some animals on animal farm are more equal than others.
So, when we look at this, this is where our culture is.
And as I said, why are we getting to this point?
Well, we're being dumbed down, but culture is downstream from people's spiritual understanding.
And when we look at what we're celebrating here, you know, we're celebrating the wicked witches and the rest of this.
In the UK, the UK Telegraph says parents are being asked if newborn babies identify as transgender.
Now, the hospital that's doing this says that they have to comply with New Jersey law.
And after they put this out, there was a lot of finger-pointing and everybody, well, I have to do that.
No, you don't.
I'm not making you do that.
But the headline actually is misleading.
It's not exactly true.
The parents are not being asked if the newborn babies identify as transgender.
The parents are being asked, do you identify your baby as transgender?
Is this the gender that you wanted?
If not, do you want to change it?
So, two questions.
What sex was your baby assigned at birth?
Female, male, or prefer not to answer?
And then, do you identify your baby as female, male?
Now we have other choices as well.
Transgender, female.
Transwoman, male to female.
Transgender, male.
Transman, female to male.
Gender, queer.
Neither exclusively male nor female.
Again, this is what would you like your baby to be?
Not what the baby wants to be.
They're not that far gone yet.
I will be.
Parents were asked if their newborn babies identify as transgender on a form required under New Jersey state law.
That's, again, not what is being asked.
They got that part of it wrong.
But all this is wrong, quite frankly.
It was a form produced by Inspira Health, which operates four hospitals and eight health agencies across the state of New Jersey.
And, of course, they're doing this for money.
These hospitals are involved in mutilation of minors.
And they've probably already tried to poison them with vaccines for money as babies.
Inspira claims that it created the questionnaire to comply with New Jersey law, requiring health care providers to, quote, collect race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and gender identity in a culturally competent and sensitive manner.
Republican State Senator...
Told the New York Post, the entire thing lacks common sense and serves no purpose whatsoever.
Well, partly right.
One of the slogans that we use for the show is make sense common again.
Common sense is not common anymore.
But it does have a definite purpose.
It's too bad that the Republican state senator doesn't really see what's going on here.
The bill was modeled after an Indiana statute.
Now, Indiana is Republican, right?
Except Indiana, at the University of Indiana, is where the perverted, decadent Kinsey Institute is, a sex research thing, child molesting research place, funded in a conservative Republican state like Indiana, the Kinsey Institute.
And that's where they came up with the idea for this, modeling it after that.
So Inspira Health told the Telegraph that it was required by New Jersey law To request patients provide their race and so forth, as I said before.
And it continued.
It said, patients are permitted to decline to provide this information.
Isn't that nice that they permit us to decline to provide that?
And yet we have children's hospitals are continuing the medical mutilation despite Trump's order, says the Daily Caller and the Gold Report.
But again, what is it?
Trump doesn't have the ability to do anything about that.
What is this about?
This is about Trump saying he's going to remove money from them.
And again, when we talk to the MAGA people and they say Trump doesn't have anything to do with what happened in 2020 with the lockdowns and the ventilators and the remdesivir and the vaccines.
No, he did the money.
That's what his executive order, the emergency on Friday the 13th, was about in 2020.
It was the pandemic.
It was declared by his pharmaceutical executive that he put in charge of HHS on January the 31st.
He declared on March the 13th that he was going to release all this money.
And that's how these things get done, with the money.
And so these children in hospitals are going to continue this medical mutilation even though he's not going to pay them for it or he's going to threaten their funding.
Perhaps they're making so much money that they don't care.
So some of these are Boston Medical Center.
I looked this up to see if this was a Boston Children's Hospital, but it's not.
Boston Children's Hospital is connected to Harvard.
They were the ones who did the medical kidnapping that Marty Gottesfeld exposed, and they got sent to prison.
By the way, I just heard from Marty and his wife that they're expecting a baby girl soon.
So I'm real happy for them.
They've been through a lot.
And he was severely punished because he exposed the crimes of a very powerful politically connected hospital connected to Harvard.
And I thought it was amazing to see this from Reason Magazine.
Taking the, well, I'll just read you the headline.
Their kids said they were trans.
Then CPS came knocking at the door.
Across the country, parents of gender dysphoric kids are confronting state intrusion.
So we look at the fact that in New Jersey, they're asking, so what do you want your kid to be?
Do you want your kid to transition into a different thing?
We can mutilate them for you if you'd like.
We can sterilize them for you if you'd like.
And then here is Reason complaining about the fact that in Texas, if a parent is going to mutilate or sterilize their child, that CPS would get involved.
You know, I'm not a fan of CPS.
I've had Dwight Mitchell on, I've had a lot of other people on, talking about how dangerous CPS is.
And it was created for a reason, and like so many of these government agencies, it is metastasized beyond all reason into a horrific thing.
However, this, this is the reason that you have CPS.
And reason is completely...
Completely lost this plot.
Would it be warranted to have CPS show up if the parents are sexually abusing the child?
How about if they were physically beating the child?
Would it be okay for them to show up?
No, they think that it ought to always be in the hands of the parent.
Well, you know, the parents may not always do the right thing.
And I think we need to understand that there's different spheres of authority.
They're not necessarily arranged.
They're not in a hierarchical manner, right?
The family was started by God.
It is the basic building block of society, if you will, but it is not subordinate to the government in some of these areas.
Just like the government has a sphere of authority, you have a sphere of authority, the family has a sphere of authority, other institutions do.
But what happens when the parents abuse their children?
Well, at that point, You have other spheres of authority, whether it's the government, whether it's the church, society in general, have not only a right but a duty to intervene to protect that child from the parents if they're sexually abusing them, if they're violently abusing them.
And quite frankly, this fits both of those categories.
It is violent, what they're doing to them.
It is a psychological, a spiritual, a physical attack on these children.
And somebody needs to do something about it.
Again, I'm not a big fan of CPS, but they got very upset about the fact that in Texas, this is a crime.
Well, it should be a crime.
And I'm glad that they're doing something about it.
Handy said, we had a two-month-old SIDS, sudden infant death syndrome, last night.
Do you know how many vaccines are on the CDC schedule for two-month checkup?
Seven jabs.
That's ridiculous.
It's just ridiculous.
And that is what's killing the kids.
You know, we had with the COVID vaccine.
We suddenly had sudden adult death syndrome.
And that one mother who said, I realize now.
That when they told me it was SIDS, I realized what it really was.
Well, as I said before, we're now celebrating the evil, right?
Because Hollywood has pushed us towards that.
As part of this, the New York Times is saying witches are having a cultural moment.
Some states are taking up their cause.
And so they're going back to the 17th and 18th centuries, 1600s, the 1700s.
So we had the witch trials and things like that.
Trying to pull that back and say, we're going to exonerate all them.
Well, I don't know what was happening with any of these things or what these people were doing.
It appears to have been something that was society gone wild against these individuals.
But we've gone beyond that.
When you look at our entertainment, when you look at our society, we're now celebrating witches.
We're now celebrating the occult.
We're now celebrating sexual perversion.
We're told that, hey, it's great.
As a matter of fact, you need to start transitioning these babies at a very early age.
And again, we have the movie Wicked that is out there.
It said, part of the draw, said one of the witches who is being interviewed by the New York Times, part of the draw for us to witchcraft is the acceptance and the celebration of our personal identities.
Do whatever thou wilt, right?
That's what they say.
Our bodies, our bodily autonomy.
A love for our planet, you know, combining it with the obligatory liberal worship of the environment.
And, of course, they were very big into that type of thing.
We had a witch who lived down the road from us in North Carolina, a literal witch.
And we didn't realize it until she started this celebration.
First, it was just before Halloween or something, and they put out all these luminaries going down the road.
And their house was at the end of this long road.
We're way out in the woods.
And our house was, you know, down the other end.
She had 20 acres.
We had 6 acres.
And later that night, it sounded like a machine was running.
I thought, what is somebody building, you know, running a machine this late at night?
You know, it's like the glop at a glop at a machine from how to murder your wife or something.
And so I step outside and I can hear that it's drums banging and flutes playing and stuff like that.
I thought that's really strange, but okay.
Then, a couple months later, it happened, and I thought, is this some kind of a witch thing?
Because she had already given the street the name, a Latin name for witch hazel, which was really odd, but she got to name it.
And so I looked it up, and it turns out that that day was, like the other one, a witch's Sabbath.
I said, oh, I know what's going on here, so I put some big speakers out on the table.
On the deck, I started playing Christian music.
That was the last time they did one of those parties.
Cranked it up as much as I could.
So, you know, when we look at this, one of the things that Gard talked about last week was all this kerfuffle at the Daily Wire about Christ as King.
And I would just add my little two cents into this and say that all the people who are doing this, these conservatives now, are doing...
All of the stuff that they accuse the left of doing.
And that is when you oppose them politically, what do they do?
They play the race card.
Oh, well, you don't want to support what political Israel is doing.
As a matter of fact, they're having massive riots there.
Netanyahu's trying to get rid of the Attorney General.
They have people rioting in the streets there.
It is a political issue.
So is it anti-Semitism to criticize Netanyahu's policies, or is it anti-Netanyahuism?
But if you oppose them politically, these so-called conservatives will play the race card on you just like the left.
Shut up!
You're anti-Semitic.
And quite frankly, I don't care about hurt feelings in this.
We understand that Christ is a stumbling stone and a rock of offense.
It was Isaiah who said that over 700 years before Christ came.
He said he'll be a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense to both houses of Israel.
He means Israel and Judah.
And a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
So we make no apologies for Christ being king.
We make no apologies if that hurts somebody's feelings, because we know it's going to be an offense to people.
He makes some very definite, exclusive claims.
And we say it...
With as much love as we can.
But we also need to understand that when they want to play this race card, when they want to say, well, there's some very bad people that are out there saying Christ is king.
Well, you know, there are some very bad people who used to wear hoods and burn crosses.
But that didn't mean that they get to redefine what the cross is.
The Ku Klux Klan doesn't define it, and neither do these Christian nationalists.
Thank you for joining us.
Have a good day.
Good evening.
Tonight's tale is a story of paranoia and a most unexpected perpetrator, the common cow.
Or, more specifically, what comes out the other end.
Yes, the air is thick with intrigue, as it seems that in our modern age of propaganda, even a humble bovine's backside can be branded a national security threat.
The menace is invisible, silent.
Yet deadly.
Carefully contrive to panic the masses into accepting the government stepping in, jackboots and all, with their solutions.
Because who better to stop a gaseous threat than a bunch of political windbags?
But one must wonder, is this truly about saving the planet, or are we simply being led to pasture?
Is it merely a MacGuffin?
The David Knight Show serves as a breath of fresh air for those who still believe that truth can stand up to scrutiny.
And he's found that the government narrative smells suspiciously like a load of bull.
So if you want to help others catch wind of the BS being shoveled out of Washington, please consider supporting the show.
