As the clock strikes 13, it's the 27th of March, year of our Lord, 2025.
Today we're going to begin by taking a look at climate.
We haven't talked about that for a while, and there's been some good developments in that.
But we're also going to take a look at the auto tariffs that Trump has dumped.
What is that going to do to the price of cars?
Oh, well, you can just buy it in America.
Well, a lot of the American cars are made with parts that are going back and forth across the border.
We're going to take a look at the impact of that and something that may be behind it.
His connections with Elon Musk.
We're also going to take a look at war abroad, the real cost.
Folks, this is about a lot more than a gotcha game being played about signal chats and things like that.
Yes, it's very juvenile when you look at it.
It's like they're playing a game of battleship, and yet they're real people who are dying.
And as we look at the government moving towards war with Iran, let's take a look at some Iranian Christians who've been deported from the U.S. And
of course we have a lot of news about vaccines and what is happening with the health issues that are there.
We're going to get to that as well.
But let's begin with climate.
I think it's interesting, this headline from Wall Street Journal.
Startups that set out to fix the climate are now talking about jet fighters.
How is that for the zeitgeist?
We're going to move from fighting CO2 to dropping bombs.
Because look, this has always been just about money, right?
These people, did they ever really care about climate?
No, of course they didn't.
So now they're going to create fighter jets that use a tremendous amount of fuel.
They're going to drop bombs that release a lot of gases as well, if you want to look at it from that standpoint.
Real global warming.
How about thermonuclear warming?
Companies that once touted the green benefits of their work are now pivoting to defense and to artificial intelligence because those two things are combining defense and AI.
Look. Here's where it makes sense.
It's all about two things.
Money and depopulation.
That was what was behind the climate game all along, was depopulation.
From the very beginning, that was what was driving it.
It wasn't a concern for humanity.
It was a disgust with humanity.
We've got too many people.
Got to get rid of them.
How are we going to do it?
Paul Ehrlich, the population bomb, said, well, you know, we can.
Wars are pretty good at that.
But disease is even better.
And it's even better if you can create the disease and put it in an injection and tell everybody that they've got to take it, isn't it?
And so this is what this has always been about.
It's always been about making money by killing people.
It's kind of a Faustian bargain that these people make, and it's not just these greenies.
It's also the pharmaceutical companies.
Climate startups are going quiet about the climate, says the Wall Street Journal.
A generation of companies that launched in recent years, promising to wean the economy off of fossil fuels, are now creating devices, as many as they can, that are going to use far more fossil fuels than anything else.
You can say that about the energy usage of the AI as well.
But, oh, now we're going to go with nuclear.
That's great.
That's great.
We're not concerned about safety or anything else.
We're just only concerned about CO2, a natural substance.
The science, as a matter of fact, when we talk about depopulation, the science, you know, when we talk about the science, put it in quotes, scientism, the religion of science, where you have the high priests of academia tell us what is really happening.
The science may have miscalculated the number of people on Earth by billions.
You think they got an accurate censorship of the people on Earth?
Isn't it interesting how they pretend to know so much about so many things and they don't know anything?
They can't measure the temperature.
They can't predict the weather.
They're going to predict the climate.
They can't measure the number of people, but they're going to get rid of them wholesale, right?
Over and over again we see this.
While global population estimates sit at about 8.2 billion, The lead author of a university study, this is Alto University, the person's name is Lang Ritter, I'm not sure where this is, argues rural populations may be significantly undercounted.
We're surprised to find that the actual population living in rural areas is much higher than the global population data indicates.
Depending on the data set, rural populations have been underestimated by between 53% to 84% of the period studied.
We may have many more billions of people out there.
The results are remarkable, they said, as these data sets have been used in thousands of studies and extensively support decision-making, yet their accuracy has not been systematically evaluated.
Paul Ehrlich would be rolling in his grave if he was dead.
He's managed to survive.
This guy wants to kill everybody else.
When dams are built, this is the basis on when they did this.
They said they go into rural areas.
In the cities, they're pretty much keeping tabs on everybody because you can't escape being a stamped index number debriefed and debriefed if you're in the city.
You're a prisoner of that place.
When dams are built, large areas are flooded and people need to be relocated, they said.
Very much like the temperature readings, they don't have accurate information.
So they said when they have to move people out of an area so they can flood it with a dam, the relocated population is usually counted precisely.
Because dam companies, the dam companies, have to pay compensation to those affected.
Unlike global population data sets.
Such local impact statements provide comprehensive, on-the-ground population counts that are not skewed by administrative boundaries.
We then combined these with spatial information from satellite imagery.
So they're going into these rural areas, undeveloped areas for the most part.
They're looking at, well, what were the numbers before?
And then what were the numbers when they accurately counted it because they had to pay people for taking their homes?
And then looking at it with satellite data as well.
And just like the temperature data, we don't get very accurate readings from the thermometers because the thermometers have changed significantly, you know, from a mercury thermometer that has a lot of parallax error in it to a deceptively accurate digital thermometer that records it to a tenth of a degree or maybe...
Even less than that.
A greater accuracy, I should say.
But the question is, not just the type of thermometer.
In other words, what I'm saying is they've got more accurate thermometers now than they did.
Far more accurate than they had before.
But they're also putting them in different places.
Now we've got heat islands and more urban development, and a lot of them are relocated onto airport tarmacs and so forth.
So it's not a good measure.
The satellite data provides much more accurate information, especially looking at things like the Arctic and the ice coverage.
They'll take a ship up and they'll see a glacier that's calving and drops off a part of it, which always happens.
It's a seasonal thing that happens.
Oh, look, all of the glaciers are melting.
But if you look at it from above, you can see the actual ice coverage.
And they can actually measure the depth of it as well.
So this is a similar type of thing, doing this with the population, taking samples and somewhat extrapolating it.
The article says that the person doing this study turned to his background in water management, analyzing data from 300 rural dam projects across 35 countries between 1975 and 2010.
These figures offered a reliable benchmark to compare against estimates from groups like World Population, LandScan, and one that's called Grump.
This is one of the seven dwarfs who has dropped out of Hollywood and Disney and entered into the climate scam theater.
Others were included in the study.
The gap in population data likely comes from limited resources and the challenge of reaching remote rural areas leading to undercounts that affect how resources are distributed, he said.
It couldn't be that the people doing these are kind of dumb, just not nearly as smart as they want you to believe.
It couldn't be science is filled with idiots.
Yeah, well, you know, but if you work at a name-brand university and you've got a title there, everybody believes that you know what you're talking about, right?
Also, the illusion, if you've got a lot of money, right?
As Debbie said, if you're rich, they think you really know.
Well, let's take a look at what's going on with an AI-led study.
Now, this is both good and bad.
This is AI that comes up and reinforces...
What we have seen over and over again with other data.
But I would caution people to get excited about, not to get excited about something like this.
Because, look, AI is not honest.
AI makes mistakes.
This is based on Grok 3. Now, I don't know if it was Grok 3 beta that they were testing.
But remember, Grok came out at the bottom of the list in terms of accuracy.
It was wrong 97% of the time on some basic questions.
And so I would caution, when I looked at this headline, I thought, hmm, new AI-led study upends the UN's climate change narrative.
Oh, we aced you with AI.
See, AI agrees with us.
Until it doesn't agree with us.
Do not make AI the standard.
Garbage in, garbage out, folks.
It's just a computer program.
And these computer programs make a lot of errors.
And they have a lot of bias that is built in.
Now, this is a study.
They said they guided this study of Grok 3 Beta to produce what they call the first-ever AI-led peer-reviewed climate science paper.
And one of the people on here was Willie Soon.
I've talked to Dr. Soon, and I have a lot of respect for him, and he's done great work.
He has focused on the fact that it is natural and solar things that are driving...
Of course it is.
Of course it is.
But he looks at it from a more scientific standpoint.
Common sense tells us that, doesn't it?
Nevertheless, this is a review of temperature, sea ice, and atmospheric CO2 data that found that temperatures change before atmospheric CO2 changes, and that solar activity and natural cycles are what are driving global temperature changes.
Notice that I said that the temperature changes before the CO2 changes.
It's not driven by CO2.
And this is a refutation of the fundamental lie behind most of the stuff, you know, the inconvenient truth of Al Gore and everything, Michael Mann and others.
It has always been that CO2 is a driver of this.
It's not.
And let alone man-made CO2.
But again, this article is somewhat troubling.
You can use AI to summarize quickly data sets and things like that.
It's not clear to me exactly what they're doing with it.
But when you take a headline and say, well, AI says it's true, so now it's true.
That's the real danger.
The real danger of AI.
Look, you can use it to make interesting pictures because, again, it's got...
It does things, the way it summarizes things, the way it combines elements and stuff, is a little bit different than we would do it.
So you can use it for things like that, but don't make it the standard of reference.
That's the big danger for AI use that we have.
And of course, the other part of it is the surveillance part.
And the surveillance leverages its ability to go through large data sets and to pull them together.
And so that's the danger that AI presents to us is surveillance and control.
And along those lines, if it's going to go through and make determinations about the data mining, that if it's going to go out and data mine a bunch of surveillance stuff and make summaries about you and I, that's a real danger.
Not just because it might do things in the wrong way.
Of course, for some of us, it could be a danger if it does it the right way.
They might not just how much we oppose them.
This paper aims to rigorously test the anthropogenic CO2, man-made CO2.
So that is not what is driving it.
So what they found, four things.
Human CO2, again, only 4% of the carbon cycle and 0.04% of the CO2 in the atmosphere.
They said human CO2 sinks into oceans and forests in three to four years, not in the centuries, as the IPCC claims.
The IPCC is the group that is rigging the data for the UN.
Temperature, they found, leads CO2, not the reverse.
Think 800-year ice core lags, and think about 2020's lockdown.
There was no blip.
At Mauna Loa.
So, in other words, when they look at man-made CO2 dropping, and they look at it with a lockdown, or they go back and they look at the 800-year ice cores, they see, in all these cases, they see that temperature is leading CO2.
Not the other way around.
So, our activity is not driving climate change, therefore.
IPCC, again UN, models exaggerate the warming and solar activity and natural cycles steal the show.
Now, Dr. Soon has been showing solar activity is driving all of this for quite some time.
And perhaps they've gone through and searched through some data and pulled some stuff out.
I mentioned I might get to it today.
I've had it on my desk all week.
Really wanted you to take a look at, let them go through the JFK files for you, 88,000 pages, and summarize it for you.
And of course, it's kind of a fool's errand, isn't it?
Regardless of what it finds and how accurate it is, I clicked on it and I watched it.
It says, well, I'm searching this and I'm searching that.
Now I'm going to search this and now I'm going to test this and so forth and so on.
The reality is that a human should be able to see through this without the futility of searching through all these JFK files.
If the CIA had any involvement in it, they're not going to write it down and store it, okay?
That's just a non-issue.
You're not going to solve the JFK mystery by looking at the JFK files from the CIA.
They'd never be stupid enough to put that stuff in there.
It's like when you had the hacks.
And they'll always say, well, this hack came from Iran, or it came from China, or it came from Russia, or whatever.
And when I would talk to John McAfee or Bill Binney, the NSA whistleblower who'd been global technical head of the NSA and so forth and became a whistleblower, they would have said, no, you're not going to know where this stuff comes from.
Nobody would be stupid enough to leave their fingerprints all over anything.
Well, that doubles and triples down for the JFK files.
And, of course, they had an application, Vault 7, which was stolen from the intelligence services and distributed all over the world, so now anybody can do this.
But they had an application.
There was an app to make them look like other countries.
I remember when this...
All this Russiagate stuff was there.
They said, oh, look, we know that it's from Russia because of the keystroke data or whatever that they had, you know, and the fact that, no, it's all nonsense.
They can make it look like they're anybody with this.
Yeah, you don't need 88,000 pages to figure out what happened with the JFK assassination.
It doesn't matter if it's 8 billion pages from the CIA.
I wouldn't trust it.
It doesn't matter.
The quantity of data.
It reminds me of how I was joking about if I was in charge of the CIA and have each new crop of interns come in in charge of adding some ridiculous piece of disinformation to the pile of the JFK.
It's like, yeah, just write whatever you want.
Throw it in there.
Yeah, yeah.
And make sure you have corroborating evidence and other files as well.
The anthropogenic CO2 global warming hypothesis.
It was pushed by Michael Mann, Gavin Schmidt, Zeke, housefather, right?
They were the ones who were at the center of it.
That's why I say, you know, this hockey stick thing from Michael Mann.
As a matter of fact, when all the ClimateGate stuff happened, they even called themselves the hockey team, the people who were pushing back against it.
In 2009, the Telegraph published an article about leaked emails from the University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit.
However, since 2003, other people have been using other methods, other statistical methods, to show that this is not true.
This is just one more study showing that that's not true.
But in 2003, statistical methods were used to create the hockey stick.
They were first exposed as fundamentally flawed by an expert Canadian statistician, Steve McIntyre.
And an increasingly heated battle has been raging between man supporters who call themselves a hockey team.
And then what happened was everybody got the email.
So that was 2003.
They had this big debate.
The guy says, that's a bunch of bunk.
And then there's the data that says, hey, we've got to hide the decline.
Our models aren't working and so forth.
And then we tried to get more data that Michael Mann was hiding, and he refused to do it.
So, despite the known flawed methods and the data used in its creation, the hockey stick graph remains a key piece of evidence and discussions about global warming and human-induced climate change.
See, they'll never give up with this stuff.
And I've seen this with the pseudoscience of evolution as well.
If you go back to the 1860s, you had a guy named Ernst Haeckel.
He was called Darwin's Bulldog.
He was a German guy.
And he wanted evolution to be true.
So, like Michael Mann did with a hockey stick, he manufactured evidence.
He had a series of drawings that purported to show humans going through their development stages, going through evolution.
Say, look, they're fish.
Then they become this.
Then they become that.
That type of thing.
Well, he did that in the 1860s.
By the 1880s, when science was moving at a slower pace, It was significantly debunked already at that point in time by embryologists who said, no, that's not what these things are.
I mean, Ernst Heckel just made this stuff up.
And yet, a century later, you had people like Carl Sagan still going on.
And, of course, it was first the embryologists who blew the whistle on Ernst Heckel's Lies in his documents that, no, you don't go through an evolutionary recapitulation.
And then more people did it, and by the 1930s, it was completely debunked.
And yet, in the 1970s, Carl Sagan, the first place I heard it, was Carl Sagan going on with Johnny Carson.
His lugubrious...
Well, recapitulation, ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny, and all the rest of this stuff.
Oh, wow, that sounds so impressive.
Johnny Carson was so impressed, and the audience was, and he was still selling this lie.
More than a century after it had been created.
And, again, 90 years after it was completely debunked.
So they're not going to give up with the hockey stick or the man-made global warming with CO2 either.
They're going to hang on to these types of things.
So just be careful.
The fact that it's a study by Grok 3 Beta, be careful.
That is not the gold standard.
It is anything other than a gold standard.
But in this article they say, this study marks a historical milestone for the best of current knowledge.
It is the first peer-reviewed climate science paper with an AI system as the lead author.
No. Don't do that.
Well, you don't need to have Fauci.
This is the ultimate argument from authority, right?
The argument from authority, well, we have Dr. Anthony Fauci, look at his resume, or look at where he teaches, or look at what he's head of, that type of thing.
The ultimate BS game that's going to be played is going to be with AI, and we better not be the ones who play that game.
We need to be debunking that game.
Well, one of the bright spots of the first Trump administration was the pushback on the climate stuff and energy.
And some of that is coming back.
And, of course, I say that as one of the brightest spots.
He still left a great deal to be desired, didn't he?
I mean, he didn't get out of the Paris Climate Accord.
Very little was actually done.
The EPA continued as it was pretty much all of these.
He's looking at doing more pushback against it.
And so that's a good thing.
Coal is on track to make a return to help America's energy needs under Trump.
Billions of taxpayer dollars went for grants under Biden to solar, wind, and other politically correct agendas.
And now, under Trump, this is reversed.
You've got a coal mine in Montana that is going to be expanding.
It's on the ground evidence that the Trump administration has pushed to ramp up the mining and the burning of coal.
Well, that's good.
And I hope that that persists.
The problem is...
Is that as long as we leave some of these institutions around, as long as we don't destroy this so-called science, which is not science at all, it's going to come back with a future administration.
But I'm glad that it's moving in this direction.
Trump himself said on social media that he wants to open or reopen hundreds of coal-fired power plants and get the U.S. producing energy with beautiful clean coal.
The Montana project being expanded.
Means that the project will serve energy needs for an additional 16 years.
We have, by the way, about a thousand years worth of coal.
If we could just get them to allow us to use it.
These mines in Wyoming produced 185 million tons of coal in 2024.
The first time production was below 200 million tons.
Now, the problem is that 300 coal-fired power plants were shut down from 2010 to 2019.
Notice that that was also during the Trump administration, 2019.
And so, if we're going to continue to use coal, we're going to have to have coal power plants, which means that you're going to have to ignore the Paris Climate Accord.
We'll see if that really happens.
The EPA has an internal watchdog who is looking under the hood of a $7 billion Biden solar program.
They now have the Office of Inspector General within the EPA doing an audit of this Biden solar program.
It's called Solar for All.
An energy for none.
Electricity for none.
Just electricity only when the sun is shining.
The Biden EPA used this program to route massive checks to 60 recipients, primarily state governments, around the country so that the awardees could finance solar panel development in low-income areas.
And so one of the big winners for this was Texas Southern University's Bullard Center for Environmental and Climate Justice.
Climate Justice.
And this is, you know, Texas University getting Texas money.
But of course, when you look at the green nonsense that's going on in Texas, this Republican area, the windmills, the solar projects, all the rest of the stuff, and the destruction of reliable energy.
Robert Bullard is the director of the center that bears his name.
He served as a member of the Biden White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council at the time the funding was awarded.
Hmm. Conflict of interest?
Yeah. But it wasn't mostly going to places that have a lot of sun, like Texas.
Some of the states that received massive checks from the Solar for All program happened to be among the least sunny states in the U.S. So, what is behind this audit?
Well, this is about building up a case.
To reduce the spending on these programs as these people are pushing back with legal challenges.
The Trump administration's audit of this program comes as it faces a legal battle to terminate billions of dollars doled out by other programs, the EPA.
They allege that those funds were rushed out the door to politically connected nonprofits in a fraudulent manner.
This should be low-hanging fruit.
To make the case legally that there was a lot of graft, corruption, conflict of interest, and that this stuff has to be stopped.
So that's a good thing.
Well, we're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back.
Stay with us.
���� The Common Man They created Common Core to dumb down our children.
They created Common Past to track and control us.
Their Commons Project to make sure the commoners own nothing.
And the communist future.
They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
That is what we have in common.
That is what they want to take away.
Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.

If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers.
TheDavidKnightShow.com 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 thedavidnightshow.com.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
Well, it's going to be sad to not be able to play that commercial anymore, but they're going pretty quickly.
We've only got about seven of them left.
The one on my desk is gone.
So they're going to be going pretty quickly, and I really want to thank Ryan for Love of the Road for doing that for us this month.
It's the month that we really needed it.
We are now at about 75%.
I don't know if they moved the gas gauge up, but 75% and we got two days after today left in the month.
So really do appreciate, Ryan.
Thank you for doing that.
And it's a great coin.
It's going to be sad to see it go.
Sad that I won't be able to play that commercial anymore.
Yeah, those coins are really cool.
I've loved coins since I was a kid, and those are awesome.
Yeah, Travis has always been a coin guy.
I've never known anybody that was so into coins as Travis was.
So get yours while you can.
That's right, that's right.
Get your pennies, too.
Save those pennies, because there's quite a few more of the pennies than there are of the David Knight commemorative medallion or coin.
Also, once more.
If you like the stream, like the stream, wherever you're watching.
Yes, thank you.
Yeah, that does help us a lot.
Let's talk a little bit about these auto tariffs that were announced yesterday.
And again, when Trump says he's going to do something, everybody's like, well, is he really going to do it or is he not going to do it?
We don't really know.
Well, I think there's something behind this.
Tesla just got new sales data from Europe, and it was horrible.
Tesla sales have been nearly cut in half.
Because people are not happy with his support of Trump and with Trump's bullying of everybody.
Tesla sales were down a brutal 49% in January and February compared to a year ago.
They sold 19,000 units this time around, whereas in January and February 2024, they sold 37,000 Teslas.
Hybrid vehicle registrations are part of it.
They rose 19%.
Isn't it interesting that we're going to have Hyundai come to the U.S. and they said they're going to make electric vehicles.
They didn't say they're going to make hybrid electric vehicles, so I don't know what they're going to do.
The battery-operated vehicles are really not what we need.
Hybrids, but of course hybrids, have some emissions, and we can't have emissions.
That's why I began with the climate stuff.
That's utter nonsense.
And these people don't believe it anyway.
They're going to go out and make fighter jets now.
Make tanks, which measure their fuel economy in gallons per mile.
Anyway, hybrid registrations went up 19% at the same time.
Electric cars dropped roughly 1.4%, but Tesla dropped 49% in Europe.
The only other company whose sales slipped anywhere close was Mitsubishi, which saw a 34% year-over-year loss.
Tesla has become a toxic brand in Europe.
Because of his connection with Trump, but also because of his connection with AFD, they have done their best to demonize AFD in EU.
A German language survey found that out of 100,000 people that they surveyed, more than 94% said they would no longer even consider buying a Tesla.
Isn't that interesting?
You know, over there, it's suicide.
Over here, suicide to not support Trump.
I can attest to that as well.
They don't like the bullying.
Guess what?
I don't like the bullying either.
I don't like the bullying that happened during the lockdown.
That's what turned me against him.
And now the Europeans, Canadians, others are getting the bullying at them.
But at the same time, the Chinese electric automaker is exploding.
BYD. And of course, they're making cheap.
Electric cars.
Not high-end electric cars.
And they're doing it on volume.
So the Chinese EV maker BYD is absolutely crushing Tesla, leapfrogging the company, Tesla, by passing the $100 billion mark in revenue last year.
I don't know if they're being sold in the EU, if that is part of it.
But I...
Can tell you that a big part of these auto tariffs is to make sure that they're not sold here in the United States.
As I said, they're coming in at a very low cost point, but they've also had some big technological innovations in terms of charging times.
BYD announced earlier this year that it had sold 4.3 million vehicles in 2024, up over 40% compared to 2023.
So in Europe, Tesla is down by 49%.
BYD globally is up by 40%.
Monthly sales also skyrocketed by a stunning 161% in February.
At the same time that Tesla saw massive declines in sales worldwide and a plunging share price.
BYD made headlines earlier this month when it revealed a new battery technology that allows their EVs to gain nearly 250 miles worth of charge in just five minutes.
The system can reach peak speeds of 1,000 kilowatts, twice that of Tesla's latest superchargers.
Now, the interesting thing will be, is what we know, is that the faster you charge these batteries, you know, live fast and die young is the expression, I guess, right?
Charge fast, die young.
And so it'll be interesting to see what happens to their longevity if they're charging them even faster.
So I don't know how much of this is a new kind of battery and how much of it is a new kind of battery charger.
Also, I just have to say, the only thing I trust less than an American-made electric car is a Chinese-made electric car.
Yeah, exactly.
No, thank you.
If it locks the doors automatically and you can't get out, you've got to try to get somebody on tech support that's a non-English speaker.
I need a mechanic that speaks Mandarin.
Yeah. Please release the door.
Current rules that were established during the Biden administration effectively ban nearly all Chinese cars and trucks in America.
There you go.
Not just the BYD, but all of them.
So Biden had already had this covered, but they're not taking any chances.
And I think that's a part of what...
is going on with Trump, this 25% increase.
Because as I said before, it's not necessarily targeted to one industry or the other, and it's not working out well even for GM and Ford.
Their stocks tanked when Trump announced the tariffs.
Because why would that happen?
Well, they know there's going to be retaliation on the other side.
In a trade war, They're going to lose money as well.
Everybody's going to pay more for cars.
Trump has personally advertised Tesla's offerings during a baffling showroom event in front of the White House earlier this year, suggesting EV makers will continue enjoying regulatory protection from his Chinese competition in the U.S. His tariff war aimed at China will likely further isolate Tesla from overseas competition.
Remember, he did 10%, then he took it to 20%, and that's on everything that...
China sells.
Now he's adding an additional 25% on autos, the way I understand it.
Well, he raised the price of the BYD things by 45%.
Now they're nearly as expensive as Tesla.
So the Musk car makers could soon struggle to maintain its foothold outside the United States.
You know, the interesting thing about the Chinese tariffs is that yesterday, Trump announced that he was open to cutting some of the Chinese tariffs if they would let his friends buy TikTok.
This is kind of crony capitalism, robber baron exploitation that is just rampant already in just a couple of months within the Trump administration.
It's disgusting to watch it, frankly.
But hey, if you let my buddies buy TikTok, I'll cut some of these other tariffs for you.
Now, that's why I think...
The additional specific tariffs on automobiles, 25%.
Trump is saying, well, this will continue to spur growth, growth of their revenue, because they said it is expected to add $100 billion of revenue to the federal government's coffers.
Because it's a tax, folks.
Come on.
And guess who's going to be paying the tax?
You will.
I looked up, I thought, you know, I wonder how much if I were to, I'm not looking to buy a new Miata.
I like the one that, the model that I had better than the new ones.
But the, if I was to get a new Miata, that'd be between $30,000 and $40,000.
I was like, what?
You know, back in the day, you know, mine's a 2012.
Back when they were doing it, they were like around $20,000.
Now they're 50 to 100% more.
And so if you're $30,000 or $40,000, you're talking about a 25% tariff is going to add $7,500 to $10,000 in the price.
That's outrageous.
And when you look at the average price of a new car, the average price of a new car in the United States is now $48,000.
Isn't that amazing?
Well, what's going to happen if you add a 25% tariff?
Well, that's $12,000.
It brings it up to an even $60,000.
So in one fell swoop with a swipe of a pen, and why is it that Trump can do this with a swipe of a pen?
When did we give dictatorial powers to a president to add tariffs on whims and to take them off on whims?
This is what is so destructive of the economy, and of course everybody's too afraid to say anything about it.
This emperor, this dictator, has no clothes.
And nobody is going to call him on it in Congress.
And nobody is going to call him on it in the conservative media.
But he just, with a swipe of a pen, adds on $12,000 to the average cost of a car.
Or maybe he'll take it off.
Who knows?
Nobody knows what Trump's going to do from one day to the next.
Not even Trump, probably.
Until he gets his orders from Rothschild.
Right? Seriously, I mean, this is insane what he is doing.
And the capricious acts, this vacillation, is just feeding chaos.
And it's messing with all the financial markets.
It's not just messing with cars.
Nobody can figure out what's going on.
Where did he get these powers?
I'd like to know.
Well, he got them by abdication.
Everybody else has abdicated these powers to him.
So, yeah, just in one fell swoop, add $12,000 to the average cost of a car if you don't buy it in America.
But, of course, the American cars are also made with parts that come from outside of America.
RumbleGDP330 says, was that my local Dodge dealer?
They had a Hellcat that cost more than my first house.
That's pretty true, yeah.
I remember that we had...
We had a neighbor who bought a Mercedes sports car back in the 60s.
And we were just all aghast at how much it cost.
And it was a little bit over $10,000.
And we were like, what?
Because a new Cadillac was about $3,500.
It's like, what?
How can it be that expensive?
That's more than our house is worth.
And it was at that point in time.
And so, yeah, we've seen that.
He let my brother-in-law drive it.
He was quite a bit older.
My brother-in-law and sisters are about 10 years older than me.
But he let him drive it.
And he says, I don't know that I want to even drive it around the block here.
That is worth more than a house.
And that's what we're seeing with all this stuff.
He's just added $12,000 to an already inflated price.
To underscore his seriousness, Trump said that these auto tariffs are going to be permanent.
That means he's going to keep them on at least a week before he changes his mind.
Again, this is why we don't want to have these kinds of dictatorial powers in the executive branch.
He also has a plan to allow Americans to deduct interest payments on cars In America.
Well, there we go.
So, you can take those massive interest charges and deduct them because it is like a mortgage.
It's getting like a mortgage.
Or more like a mortgage, right?
But only if it's made in America can you deduct that.
If the car is built in the U.S., there'll be no tariffs, but what about all the different parts that go into it that are going back and forth and back and forth?
So, because the markets believe all of this, GM and Ford shares tumbled.
It's because they know that retaliation is coming.
He'll encourage Carney to target U.S. automobiles and will inflict as much trade pain as possible.
Yeah, that was coming from Canada.
And even Ursula, who was fond of lying, the EU, Ursula fond of lying, finally told the truth.
She said, as I've said before, tariffs are taxes.
How about that?
But they're bad for business, they're worse for consumers, equally in the U.S. and the European Union.
But Bloomberg has added that the president's plans could still shift.
And based on that report from Bloomberg, the broad market was lower but accelerated on that report.
It's not helping them to say, well, you know, the president could change his mind.
It's like, yeah, thanks for reminding me.
That's why the stock market is so sick in the first place.
The stock's crashed even further.
And again, he's acting as a dictator.
And the people in Congress are more than happy to let him do that.
And nobody is going to point out that he has no clothes, he has no authority, and he has no economic reason that makes any sense to do any of this stuff.
They're going to pretend, because he said so, they'll pretend that tariffs are not taxes.
And they'll even pretend and lie to you that he is going to get rid of the income tax.
That's not going to happen either.
We'll be right back.
Here's a little song I wrote.
You might want to hear it in your pod.
You know nothing.
And be happy.
Ain't got no cash.
Ain't got no car.
But 24 booster shots in your arm.
Oh, nothing.
Be happy.
You can't even buy s***.
In the store because of your low social credit score.
Own nothing.
Be happy.
You'll own nothing.
And be happy.
Be happy and eat the bugs.
They're doing what?
In the place they named after me?
Good thing I have the David Knight Show to keep me informed on the plots of these traitors.
Making sense.
Common again.
This is the David Knight Show.
Well, and we have the EU preparing for war.
They're now talking like preppers.
Except they're not really telling people the truth.
The EU is telling citizens to stockpile food.
Well, that's good advice.
By the way, we're going to have...
The author of Civil Defense Manual will be joining us again tomorrow.
And he has taken a hiatus because the company that was supposed to be keeping inventory ran out.
So he's found a new company to do this.
And he had to start the publishing from the beginning.
Jack Lawson is going to be on with us tomorrow.
He's been telling everybody to stockpile food.
The problem is that the EU is telling people, you need to stockpile 72 hours worth of food.
It's like, what?
You need to pay attention to what Jack Lawson says about this stuff.
But the EU is out there just trying to panic people.
They're not trying to help them to survive.
This is kind of like the civil defense manual advice that we used to get back in the early 60s.
You know, duck and cover.
This is their duck and cover advice.
Get 72 hours worth of food.
You'll be just fine.
European Union has advised its 450 million inhabitants to stockpile essential supplies sufficient for at least 72 hours, as if that would help.
Moscow has consistently denied any intention to attack NATO countries or the EU.
Putin has dismissed such claims as nonsense meant to scare European populations and increase military budgets.
I think he's telling the truth on that.
In that one particular case, he's telling the truth.
We want people to be ready, not to panic, said an EU official.
Preparedness is not fear-mongering.
It is common sense in time of uncertainty.
Well, that's true, but if you're just going to tell people 72 hours, if you're going to tell them that's going to be some kind of a domino theory, they just keep using that same game again, over and over.
When are we ever going to catch on to it?
Well, Something needs to be done to save Germany, but a trillion dollars in debt is not what needs to be done.
This is an op-ed piece by a German writer that is in RT.
Berlin's Russia war hysteria is taking it down a clearly signposted path of self-destruction.
Germans, if you want to save Germany, what you need to do is kill the green agenda.
That's what's killing Germany.
That's what's pretty much killed the UK, is the green agenda.
So you need to stop that, instead of preparing for war.
And that's the point this guy was making.
He goes, so, he said, Germans have been so incredibly conservative.
He says, famously, infamously, really, fiscally conservative.
He says, I know, I'm German.
I've witnessed for decades, indeed all of my conscious life, how my compatriots have fretted obsessively over public debt.
Whenever they start to go into debt, you hear, he said, plaintive sobs of Weimar, Weimar, because that's when they kicked off that hyperinflation that everybody famously knows about.
He says, but this time everything is different.
In a truly unprecedented move, instantly recognized as historic, for better or worse, it says much more likely it's worse, Germany's elites in politics, in the media and in academia, all at once, have closed ranks.
The Nuremberg Party rally style to make Germany splurge again.
It is a fundamental policy change, complete with fixing the Constitution.
Another thing that Germans usually are obstinately conservative about.
And all that will go into a massive, quite possibly crippling debt.
In essence, for war with Russia.
By the way, this is what Trump has been pushing.
And don't tell me that it's 4D chess.
This is what the globalists want to do.
They want to arm everybody up for a massive world war.
Because, again, they're depopulationists.
And it lets them reset the board.
And at the time that we're in.
The fourth turning, the end of the fourth turning, we have to be very concerned about war.
Virtually every fourth turning, every four generations, there is a massive restructuring, financial crisis, a massive restructuring of institutions that people have lost confidence in, and it is usually accompanied by war.
And these people are pushing as hard as they can to make that come through.
I always think, because we're talking about different generations, Travis's son just missed being a beta male.
We're laughing about that.
So they've got the alpha generation, each at the tail end of the alpha generation, supposedly, and then the beta generation.
But all these different things, from millennials and this and that, where did that all come from?
It came from Strauss and Howe.
Everybody uses these labels.
Everybody talks about a new generation every 20 years.
But what they will studiously avoid is any talk about the cycle of history of every four generations changing.
Because they don't want you to know the times that you are in.
And they don't want you to understand when you see this kind of push to build up the military, coming from both Trump and from the EU and everything, they don't want you to understand that these people are trying to foment war.
So, they want to add about a trillion dollars or even more of debt.
I talked about this the other day.
I was laughing about it.
The guy's name is Fred Mertz.
You're going to have to have some splainin' to do.
To some extent, all of the above is simply a local variant of a general EU plus UK frenzy, with Brussels, London, and Paris as agitators-in-chief.
They said, when you're going into this kind of debt, one author said, so much so the old habit...
Of whining about inflation in the Weimar Republic.
He says, it turns out that the one purpose that makes Germans overcome their hitherto allegedly debilitating fear of inflation and debt is, wait for it, launching a rearmament program in the style of 1930s Nazi Germany.
Because we must assume, unlike Weimar, that regime will end really well.
Yeah, history rhymes.
If it doesn't exactly repeat in this particular case, it may be repeating itself.
On Rumble, DG8, thank you for the tip.
He said, David, what a tragedy.
People voted for Trump for lower prices, not seeing it anywhere.
This is what it looks like when a candidate doesn't have to debate, yeah, and people blindly trust them.
That's right.
And, you know, he kept saying, well, I'm going to be a dictator, but I'll be a good dictator.
I'll be a benevolent dictator.
Now he's dictating tariffs and taxes and this and that.
It's amazing.
But I want to talk a little bit, as I said, people going back and forth and just the news is just completely swamped with all this stuff about SignalGate, or as I call it, chat DJT, Donald J. Trump.
And as if this is the big thing, and everybody's playing this game of gotcha.
They're going back and forth.
As I said during the show yesterday, Goldberg, who was accidentally included in their signal chat, said...
Oh, yeah, they were talking about war plans.
And then Pete Hegseth said, no, we were not talking about war plans.
Then he says, okay, well, here's the transcript and so forth.
And it's a running tally of what was happening, different places.
So I was brought in during the program.
I looked at it and I said, well, it'll be interesting to see what happens with it.
Well, they're still arguing whether or not that was war plans or not.
They're going to argue about this stuff.
They're going to sue each other.
They're going to challenge, try to get people fired, impeach.
This is what Washington does, and it's a big distraction, folks.
It gets you to not look at what is happening with the wars, for example.
Let's take a look at what happened with the wars.
The Ukrainian occupation of the Kursk region.
Now that these people have been pushed out, some of the Russians that were there as the Ukrainians invaded.
One woman says, my husband was killed in front of my eyes.
You see, this is what they don't want you to see.
If you talk about geopolitics, you can talk about millions of people dying.
That's a statistic, as Stalin said.
But one death is a tragedy.
And when you talk about this, the other people say, yeah, well, what about the people that you killed on the other side?
And they do that to keep this going.
We see it in Gaza, for example.
The brutal murder of children on both sides.
And both sides use the murder of their children to justify the murder of the other side's children.
And it goes on and on and on.
Russian forces recently liberated about 30 settlements in the Kursk region where Ukrainian forces had looted stores, stolen vehicles, and according to witnesses who spoke to RT, killed civilians.
One local woman told RT that her husband had been murdered in cold blood by Ukrainian troops.
Another was forced to abandon her home.
Both still find it difficult to comprehend how they survived the brutal occupation.
A 64-year-old woman said, when the Ukrainians entered, they began firing randomly.
Two people were killed near the store.
When they retreated, they set many houses ablaze.
It was absolute hell, she said.
Unable to escape the village before the Ukrainian force arrived, she endured 218 days, a 64-year-old woman, under occupation until Russian soldiers retook the area.
They said the grocery stores were broken into.
They were looted.
Thankfully, we had some canned preserves.
It lasted for 218 days.
Hopefully, they had more than 72 hours' worth of canned goods as the EU is telling their people.
Well, what happened as these...
People were on their signal chat and they were giving themselves these emojis of flexed biceps and American flags and exploding fires and everything.
Well, dozens were killed.
Not just one person shot by Ukrainian troops.
Dozens were killed in these U.S. strikes on Houthi targets across Yemen.
They said the casualties are everywhere.
They said...
Houthis are saying that 31 people were killed in U.S. airstrikes, at least 101 wounded, mostly women and children, though the claims could not be independently verified.
They never are.
But as these guys were celebrating this stuff on their signal chat, the real scandal to me is not about national security.
This worshiping of national security has become like the sacred thing that we all got to worship.
National security is just the beard that the deep state uses for everything that they do.
And that's how they use this to cover up their wars, their assassinations, their coups, and everything.
All done under the cover of national security.
So we should be very concerned.
If national security is breached, oh my.
I don't care about any of that stuff.
I'm not looking to get a security clearance.
I can say that.
But I look at that stuff and it's ridiculous.
Here's what matters.
31 people killed.
101 wounded.
And they pretend that that's a good thing.
Did you get the right people?
Do you care if you got the right people?
You know, that's our superpower now.
We can go in.
We can't win wars.
We can't win an occupation as we saw in Iraq and Afghanistan and other places like that.
But we can certainly go in and we can wreak havoc on civilian populations.
Isn't that great?
Isn't that something to be proud of?
Have your biceps emojis and your American flag emojis and your burning fires emojis.
And while all that stuff, right after all of this stuff happened, these characters in the Trump administration go to a Mar-a-Lago fundraiser that night where there's a dinner being held for $1 million a plate.
I'm disgusted with these people.
They drop bombs on some people, civilians, in one of the poorest countries on Earth.
Celebrate it on their little signal app.
And I don't care about their national security.
This is national security?
And then they go to a million-dollar-a-plate fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago?
You people are heaping judgment on yourself as well as our nation.
Well, the full signal chat reveals that they were celebrating the bombings of a residential building in Yemen.
This first target is their top missile guy.
We just had a positive idea of him walking into his girlfriend's building, and now it has collapsed.
Yay, they all say.
And of course, there'll be a lot of civilian casualties there.
So, J.D. Vance.
Said excellent.
Tulsi Gabbard, who previously opposed U.S. intervention against the Houthis in Yemen, she called it genocidal during Trump's first term.
Oh, but now she wants power from Trump, so she's not going to call what he's doing genocidal.
And again, why is this war happening?
This war is happening because of a power struggle.
Between Yemen and Saudi Arabia, because Yemen is being used like Ukraine is being used by NATO.
Yemen is being used by Iran to pick a fight with Saudi Arabia.
And it's been going on and on for a long time, and it is genocidal.
Tulsa Gabbard has supported, however, the new bombing campaign in Yemen now because there's something in it for her.
Boy, you just see these people selling out.
Over everything and anything.
She replied to the news of the residential building being hit by saying, great work and effects.
Oh, special effects.
Well, as people are focusing on this signal chat, as opposed to why are we doing this?
Why wasn't there a discussion about this?
Why are we bombing civilians in a country that we really have no interest in?
And I'll add, as I pointed out yesterday, they were in a hurry to get this done because they wanted to do this on their own terms.
They knew that Israel was going to violate the ceasefire.
You know, the Houthis had been attacking shipping because of what was going on in Gaza.
And when they declared a ceasefire, they stopped attacking shipping.
And so the U.S. government knew that Israel was going to violate the ceasefire.
So they wanted to violate it first and do it on their terms.
So we violated the ceasefire to bomb civilians, celebrate it on Signal, and then go to a million-dollar plate fundraiser.
So the White House is going to look into this Signal chat mishap, and they're going to have it investigated by Elon Musk's team.
There you go.
Elon Musk has offered to put his technical expertise on this to figure out how this number was inadvertently added to the chat again to take responsibility and to ensure that this can never happen again.
Again, I think the most reasonable explanation for this is not a technological issue.
It's an ideological issue.
And the fact that Mike Waltz and his staff were most likely leaking stuff to Goldberg, who would then in turn give it to the Israelis.
That's probably how his number got on there.
So as this is all ramping up, we have a ramp up to go to war with Iran.
Stealth bombers are reportedly deployed to America's quote-unquote unsinkable carrier.
And what they mean by that is a very small island about a thousand miles south of India called Diego Garcia.
You've probably heard of that.
Maybe you haven't.
I don't know.
But they call that their unsinkable aircraft carrier.
They're sending stealth bombers there, and they will have strategic access to the Middle East, Central and South Asia, and the Indian Ocean.
It comes as Trump is launching a new campaign against the Iran-backed...
Houthi rebels who have attacked more than 100 merchant vessels with missiles and drones and critical maritime choke point known as the Bob Al-Mondab Strait.
Yeah, Bob Strait.
So, again, the context for all this is the Gaza ceasefire.
Let's us rearm and reposition stuff.
Of course, we didn't need to have a ceasefire to be able to rearm and reposition.
Most Americans, it says in this article, have never heard of the tiny 38-mile-long island.
Nor has any journalist been allowed access to this for over three decades.
It features runway long enough to accommodate B-52, B-1, B-2 bombers, and massive C-5M, C-17, and C-130 military cargo planes.
The U.S. hosts upwards of 5,000 military personnel and civilian contractors on the secretive island, considered to be a linchpin of U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East and across the Indo-Pacific.
It's not foreign policy.
It's our geopolitical empire, right?
So it would be essential in any conflict with Iran.
That's what I think it is about.
We're going to go to war for Israel, and we're going to attack Iran.
Well, we're going to take a break, and when we come back, I'm going to tell you about some Iranian Christians who have been deported from the U.S., and they're going to send them back to the Ayatollah, who more likely will kill them.
We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.
be right back.
back. *music* Making sense.
Common again.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
Well, we have some Iranian Christians in legal limbo after they were deported from the U.S. to Panama.
A group of Iranian Christians has been given 30 days to leave Panama.
Where they were sent last month after seeking asylum in the U.S. Their deportation, which took place even though their Christian faith is a crime punishable by death in Iran, has received significant attention across religious and secular news outlets in the weeks since.
Speaking with the New York Times, which broke her story last month.
Interesting, you know, Trump administration doesn't care about it.
Pete Hexeth doesn't care.
None of these people who say, you know.
Wear their Christianity on their sleeves, or I guess on their sleeve tattoos.
None of them care about things like this.
As a matter of fact, there's going to be a lot of underground Christians in Iran that'll get bombed by their adventures.
So the story broke last month.
Artemis Gazameda, I guess is how you might pronounce her name, one of the Iranian Christians currently in Panama, told the story of her conversion from Islam to Christianity, despite living in a country where leaving Islam is a crime punishable by death.
Beginning with a chance visit to a church while traveling in Turkey, her journey of faith blossomed in Iran's heavily persecuted network of underground churches.
Members of her Bible study were arrested.
Many church gatherings took place online for fear of an in-person gathering attracting unwanted attention from a church.
I guess they don't have the kind of surveillance.
Capabilities online that we have here in the U.S. and in the West.
Together with her brother, she traveled to Mexico, where they hired a smuggler to bring them into the U.S., which has legal protections in place for those seeking asylum because of religious persecution.
But no, not for Christians, evidently.
We've seen this in the Biden administration.
There is a German homeschooling family of Christians.
But they don't care.
Look, all this stuff about refugees, that's absolute nonsense.
They don't care about any of that.
And the people that they do not want, In America, are Christians.
They will make sure they deport them, just like they will the trendies, the trendy gang from Venezuela.
So, they were surrendered to the authorities of the border, but rather than being given asylum, they were deported to Panama for processing and being sent back to Iran.
Reports that she reportedly told officials she was an Iranian convert to Christianity and she requested asylum based on the persecution she would face if she returned.
So they have now been released from the hotel where she was initially quartered.
She and others are being held in a camp at St. Vincent, Panama, where inmates report crowded, unsanitary conditions.
She and those with her have been told they have 30 days to leave the country.
But they have nowhere to go.
One of the world's few theocracies, the Iranian system, is built on extreme devotion to the fundamentalist interpretation of Islam, and that is all blowback from our CIA policies in the 1950s.
Again, they didn't like the person who was in charge or wasn't friendly enough to them, so the CIA created a coup, put in the Shah of Iran, trained him with his secret police to persecute people.
It's always about...
Suppressing religious and political dissent, isn't it?
The founders knew that.
Those are the things that they always want to come after you for.
And that's why, in the First Amendment, we have protection of religious and political dissent.
But don't tell that to Trump.
Because if you disagree with the politics of Israel, of Netanyahu, well, then they are going to deport you as well.
Or whatever.
I mean, the bottom line is, what we're seeing now is we're seeing just a different form of DEI that's being put out there by the Zionists, by Trump, and the people who control him.
As I said before, all this freak-out about Christ as king, as a bench appear on the people with him, like Jordan Peterson, They're playing the race card against people that they disagree with politically.
Because what we're talking about in Israel is a political situation.
And Netanyahu is in a very precarious political situation.
A lot of people in Israel do not like him.
Does that make them anti-Semitic?
But you're not allowed to do that.
So now this version of DEI is not diversity, equity, and inclusivity.
And of course, it was never about any of that stuff.
They didn't want diversity.
They didn't want inclusivity.
It wasn't even okay to be white.
They don't want you.
They don't want equity either, in the sense that you think about it.
But now we have a different kind of DEI.
Now this is, I guess we could say, don't evaluate Israel.
Don't you criticize Israel.
Don't you evaluate in a critical way their actions that are being taken politically.
Because then you'll get the same kind of treatment.
You'll be called racist!
Just like the left was doing.
But for a different purpose.
Well, USAID has paid Samaritan's Purse.
This is Franklin Graham's thing.
$19 million in reimbursement for African aid.
I don't really know what's going on with Franklin Graham.
You know, when you look at it, you go back to the so-called pandemic.
They sent, you know, as Trump was putting in a 2,500-bed army hospital that was never used in New York City, as he sent to New York and to L.A., a big hospital ship.
You got Franklin Graham setting up a tent there to help people.
And the people in New York, even those who thought that this was some kind of world-ending plague, Even though they'd seen no evidence, they were scared to death of the plague.
Their hatred of Franklin Graham's organization because it was pro-life was so much that they basically forced them out.
But his facilities were never used, just like Trump's facilities were never used.
None of them would tell you that, though.
I talked about that all the time.
But they would never talk about the fact that there was no pandemic.
You know, hospitals are basically empty.
You had the TikTok nurses doing all their stuff and all these hospital tents that were set up everywhere, not used.
Nobody wants to talk about that.
And so I thought that was really suspicious.
I think, though, that he really did take the real vaccine because he got pericarditis, nearly died.
So I think it's an issue of discernment with him.
We'll just...
Leave it at that.
The evangelical humanitarian aid charity Samaritan's Purse has received $19 million reimbursement from the USAID after aid funding was halted the early days of Trump's second administration.
This happened because you had a judge say, well, you can't cut funding to the USAID.
The judge doesn't have any authority to do that.
None whatsoever.
And yet, you know, they're going to do that and they're going to continue along that line.
When we look at what is happening in our country, there's an interesting article on American Reformer about abortion in the Soviet Union.
And I think it's very telling.
Because when we look at all this DEI stuff, it really is Marxism.
They call themselves woke.
That's their label.
They're not woke.
Shame on us for using their label.
This is all Marxism, and it's all a specific kind of Marxism.
It's all about Gramsci Marxism, about taking over the institutions.
But the people on the right, the conservatives and so forth, will say, well, it's wokeism and all the rest of this stuff.
Well, it's not.
Going back to the Soviet Union, it's Marxism.
November 18th, 1920, the Soviet Union became the first modern state to legalize abortion.
How about that?
A decree from the People's Commissariat for Public Health.
See, I've always said that about public health.
Public health, public education.
Public education was a socialist ideal, right?
So it's public health.
You know, a century before we had the, you know, 1920 instead of 2020.
century before we had public health people shutting us down putting masks on our face telling us that we had to stay six feet apart and all these other superstitions they were doing the public health thing because public health is a commie name and it's a commie idea just like public education and public transportation are not legitimate functions of government and they're not concerned about people's health either
Well, the public health commissariat allowed women to terminate their pregnancies free of charge.
And they could do it On medical or non-medical grounds.
Given that abortion was criminalized in virtually every other Western country at the time, this unprecedented event enjoys almost universal acclaim amongst progressives today.
Denouncing measures introduced in late 2023 by several oblasts in Russia to restrict abortion, advertising the English-language news outlet the Moscow Times recalls that, quote, the Soviet Union was the first country in the world To allow abortion.
And until this year, modern Russia has had some of the world's most liberal abortion legislation.
So the Paris-based International Federation for Human Rights in April 2024 statement talked about the growing opposition to abortion from the Russian state.
Isn't it interesting that these people call themselves the International Federation for Human Rights?
So are human rights...
Only for those who are not weak and helpless?
Evidently for these people it is.
I mean, if you're a baby, you don't get any human rights.
And the key part about it is to dehumanize the baby.
Such rhetoric speaks to a particular trend in Western assessment of Soviet history.
Communism is redeemable, they will say.
And the Soviet Union, a contributor to human progress to the extent that it has helped to facilitate a lifestyle.
Of liberties to be enjoyed by women and other marginalized groups.
The liberty to kill your kids.
One activist complains that past socialist states provide guidance on securing reproductive justice.
Justice. But fail to address the needs and the concerns of non-binary, genderqueer, and transgender individuals.
So the truthfulness of these statements aside.
The fact that they are unfettered at all confirms the hegemony of the sexual revolution and its priorities.
Unsurprisingly, modern progressives balk at the eventual banning of abortion in 1936 under Stalin.
That's when it started.
And I thought this was very interesting because Stalin was accused by Trotsky, accused of backpedaling on this.
Being a reactionary and so forth, as Trotsky was in exile.
And this is a key part of it, the policies of family and abortion.
In his 1937 book, The Revolution Betrayed, Leon Trotsky decried in exile what he saw as a thermidor in the family, pointing to going back to the French Revolution, when the Jacobin faction,
led by Robosphere, So, these revolutionaries were the intellectual children of the French revolutionaries, the Jacobins, which explains so much of the symbolism that you saw in the recent Paris Olympics, doesn't it?
A closer examination of the 1920 decree on the protection of public health.
Suggest that abortion was never made a right to begin with, though, says the American reformer here.
The state, in the declaration, said the state combats abortion by reinforcing the socialist regime to make provision for mother and child welfare.
In other words, we're going to resist, we're going to make abortion obsolete by making sure that we've got welfare programs and so forth.
And this is what you hear from the left all the time.
This is, as a matter of fact, the exact rhetoric used by RFK Jr. when he talks about it.
Well, we just need to make sure that everybody can raise their kids and then they won't have any reason to abort them.
Oh, so you're saying people are aborting their kids for financial reasons?
Is that it?
This is going back to the original order again.
The People's Commissariat for Health and the People's Commissariat for Justice.
Consider that repression of abortion...
Has not given the expected results.
And so they decree, therefore, that abortion is now going to be legal.
Now, this is also the argument that people make.
Well, we can't stop it by having a law, so we'll just make it legal.
Well, you can make that argument for vices, I think.
But because it only makes the vices worse.
And it only corrupts law enforcement and courts and things like that when it's a vice.
But when it is an actual crime, and everybody knows that murder is a crime, you might as well say, well, we're still going to have people murdering each other, so let's just make murder legal, okay?
We'll have the purge every day.
Just get your mask, and between the hours of this and that, we can go out and murder whoever we wish, and it'll be completely legal.
Now, when you're talking about real crimes as opposed to vice, We're talking about violence as opposed to vice.
You do need to have prohibition of that in a civilized society.
But where Leon Trotsky was coming from, he wrote that we have to have liberation from the thousand-year-old fetters of family life.
And he took exception, in a sense, to what Karl Marx was saying.
Karl Marx had called for the abolition of the family.
Trotsky said, you can't abolish the family.
You have to replace it through the state.
Well, he could run for office and win as a Democrat, couldn't he?
That's what they're about.
And the Republicans to a large degree as well.
Oh, we just need to make sure that everybody is fed and happy and all the rest of this stuff, and that's the government's job.
We need to be giving people universal child care.
So we can get them to go to work.
We have MSNBC and Melissa Harris Perry saying your child doesn't belong to you.
We need to get over that idea.
Well, who does the child belong to then?
To the state.
So you can't abolish the family.
You have to replace the family with the state, was the way that he put it.
Well, you know, when we look at the proper role of government, it's kind of interesting.
The history of, and I like alternative history.
You think, what if one thing had happened somewhere?
There was a, Harry Turtledove does a lot of alternative history, and he doesn't share my political views at all, but it is interesting for him to flip something and then take it in another direction.
He did one book which I thought was good, How Few Remain, and in it he, Comes up with a rationale for ending the Civil War early, so most of the key figures in the Civil War survive instead of being killed in it.
And in his understanding, you know, the orders that were dropped before, I believe it was the Battle of Antietam, fell into enemy hands.
You know, kind of the 19th century equivalent of a signal chat.
Except the signal chat didn't fall into enemy hands.
But instead, you know, the book opens up as this order is dropped.
The person says, hey, you dropped that piece of paper.
You better pick that up.
Can you imagine what would happen if that fell into enemy hands?
Well, that's the little butterfly effect that propagates through the rest of the novel, which I thought was kind of interesting.
And so in this particular article, he says, imagine an America where Andrew Johnson never ascended to the presidency.
And instead of the bitter, divisive battles between the White House and Congress and what happened through Reconstruction and the rest of this stuff, there was a real statesman who got in there.
He said it almost happened.
General Green Clay Smith, a Kentucky congressman, a war hero, came within a single vote of becoming Abraham Lincoln's running mate in the 1864 Republican National Convention.
If that had happened, he would have become president after Lincoln was assassinated.
Well, since that didn't happen, this guy left politics.
Why did he leave politics?
Well, he believed that the true preservation of the nation was not resting on political maneuvers, but in the moral and spiritual renewal of the people.
And he went from being a politician to being a pastor, which I thought was kind of interesting.
And he was pretty successful because he was a good speechmaker.
In 1890, he went back to Washington.
He became pastor of a Baptist church there in Washington.
It was very large and still exists there.
In 1890, America stood at a crossroads of unprecedented progress, but also of unsettling moral upheaval.
The era brimmed with technological advancement.
Transcontinental railroads, mechanized industry, expanded national economy, yet these material gains were accompanied by social and cultural instability.
This was a time of massive corruption in the Republican-led government, a time of the robber barons and others, very much like a time that we have now.
He saw Christianity as an indispensable moral force shaping not only individual character, but also the destiny of nations.
He said, On our statute books for murder.
But he said it was God who said, Thou shalt not commit murder.
He said the law of God was not merely a private religious conviction.
It was the very cornerstone of which government stood.
He warned in his preaching about the rise of secular liberalism, which sought to replace God's word as the foundation of laws with a kind of moral relativism.
For him, true civilization could not be sustained without religion.
Christianity was not merely an aspect of American identity.
It was the very force that preserved the republic from decay.
He saw the encroachments of secularism, materialism, moral relativism as existential threats to national survival.
A nation that refused to acknowledge God, he said, was a nation that was on the path to destruction.
And he said Christians could not afford to retreat from public life.
And that's been the main thrust of the Supreme Court and the government and the Secular institutions since the middle of the 20th century is to push Christians out of public life.
But what he understood was that it's going to be somebody's values, and it's going to be somebody's religion, that it's going to be the basis of laws.
And he said, Christianity alone cannot carry the dual capacity of influence for good in this life and only procure the happiness mankind yearn for in the life to come.
It should be carried into every calling, Including into legislation.
And so this article, and we'll conclude with this, because do we have Tony ready?
It says, his life poses an urgent question for Christians today.
Will those who fear the Lord, if they do not shape the nation's laws, then who will?
The last century has seen the slow but deliberate retreat of Christian convictions from the public square.
Secularists have successfully convinced believers, many, That faith belongs in private life alone.
They have put Christ in the closet, folks, while they have drug out the drag queens and put them in your face.
Are you ready to do something about it?
Are you ready to not be ashamed in the public space?
Are you ready to stand on your convictions?
A nation will either be governed by the righteous or by those who reject God's law.
The choice, as he saw, was never between religious and secular government.
It was between God's justice and man's rebellion.
Again, whose separation?
Whose religion, I should say?
The wall of separation that they love to throw at us.
I'll give you a picture of it.
When you go to the Republican National Convention or the Democrat National Convention, both of them, anybody who wants to protest or to speak out, what do they do?
They put you many, many, many, many blocks away from the convention.
They put you in a cage.
There's your wall of separation.
They'll give you a microphone.
They'll give you a little soapbox to stand on.
But you will have to do it inside that cage where nobody sees you.
That's a perfect picture of shadow banning.
Of what Musk and Twitter and X and all the rest of them say.
Well, you got free speech.
You just don't have reach.
That's what it's about.
They want to separate you from society.
They want to separate you from the public square.
They want to silence you.
And you have to fight that.
Well, we're going to take a quick break, and we're going to have Tony joining us real quickly on Rumble.
Thank you for the tip, North American House Hippo.
And just repeat to people, Rumble is good for tips.
Right now we still have a problem with Rockfin in terms of being able to get money out of the crypto that they put it in.
So please don't put the money there.
But we really do appreciate the tips and the support.
And there are other places that you can support the program if you'd like.
You'll find those if you go to davidknight.news.
We now have that redirecting to the website.
The old website address still works as well.
But if you go to davidknight.news, you can find where the program is and where you can support us.
But thank you, North American House Depot.
Thank you for the tip.
He says, I understand Mr. Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney have come to an agreement with regard to an acceptable percentage that Canada spends on its defense.
I'm sure they have.
Mr. Carney is going to visit Home Depot in Arlington, Virginia in the near future and buy out its stock of hammers, toilet seats, and bags of screws and call it a day.
Well, at least he won't be paying $600 for those toilet seats like we do in the U.S.
Okay, we're going to take a quick break, and we'll be right back with Tony.
Thank you.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
This now is Tony Arterbin of Wise Wolf Gold, and he's kindly set up DavidKnight.Gold to take you there as well and let him know that you're coming through us.
Always good to have Tony on.
Always good to talk about the gold standard.
Gold is such a fundamental part of our civilization, always has been, and gold is really the gold standard.
I was talking earlier today, Tony, about the chaos, and you told me as we were off air, that was one thing that was astounding to you as well.
I'm seeing stories about what happened to Bitcoin.
First, the excitement about Trump and his Bitcoin reserve, and then the reality.
As they always say, you buy on rumor and you sell on news.
So when the real thing happens, you better get out of there because it's the rumor that they're going to hype up.
And so that's kind of what's been happening.
But it's also been roiled by the tariffs and their chaotic nature as well.
But gold has done well in that kind of environment, hasn't it?
Well, it absolutely has.
I was looking at the charts of net inflows to both ETFs, looking at the Bitcoin ETF versus the gold ETF.
And for the last eight weeks, the gold ETFs, the exchange-traded funds, have a record inflow eight weeks in a row.
And Bitcoin has slowed down to a trickle.
There's this polarity, this shift away from where we were.
Three or four months ago, with Bitcoin at its all-time high, we're seeing this supposed crypto revolution, and there was deregulation, and there was at least a psychological shift for the crypto industry.
But then you throw in this black swan event, which is the tariff chaos.
We should do an AI picture of Trump as a black swan.
He's a black swan.
It's just absolutely insane, David.
That old Paul Harvey, that breakdown, if I was the devil.
And I was thinking, if you wanted to save the dollar, you would do everything the opposite of what's going on.
If you wanted to actually prop up the dollar system, you would do the opposite.
So, what is this?
You look at the rest of the world, and I've been saying this for a long time, the BRICS nations.
They're not trying to create a new currency.
I didn't see any evidence of that the last few years.
Every time there's a summit or a meeting, they're always talking about how do they get away from the SWIFT system and the dollar system so they can have cross-border payments that are universal, the things that hold value.
And that's the same thing that gold does.
So what they're doing, and they're meeting right now, creating these cross-border payment systems, at least that's what's primarily on the docket.
Supplanting the dollar is the world's reserve currency.
I believe it already has made it there.
The United States, it appears, is already looking to stockpile some gold.
There's reports coming in that the U.S. Treasury is looking to re-audit and do all the things.
We talked about Fort Knox and all the rest.
The United States is scrambling to do that as well.
What is with this dollar system?
This is an open question, maybe a thought experiment.
Is this just a way to leverage chaos for the sake of chaos?
To bring in, usher in a completely new financial world order?
I don't see any rhyme or reason with what's going on, David, other than to give leverage to the powerful and to the insiders.
This has nothing to do with bringing jobs back.
Or economic security or prosperity.
Oh, yeah.
No, this is about his billionaire club and how they can make money.
Hey, I'll ease up on some of those tariffs to China if you'll let my friends buy TikTok, that type of thing.
It's not about making America first.
It's about putting he and his buddies first.
But you mentioned central banks and the fact that the U.S. is...
I talked about it yesterday.
The fact that they have not...
For 90 years, they really haven't kept up with the gold stuff.
But we look at other central banks and their holdings in gold.
It's gone up to about 11% gold allocation in their foreign exchange reserves overall on average for the central banks.
In 2000, it was 5.5%.
So it's doubled in the last 25 years.
But what they're saying is that they believe that it's going to triple.
In the next few years, and this is Bank of America talking about, they think that the gold allocation that has gone in the year 2000, it was 5.5%, and now 25 years later, it is 11%.
They think it's headed to 30%.
and so that would be a big reset i think in in terms of the allocation of gold and as part of the restructuring of things and certainly trump and his guys want to restructure stuff they're pushing this pretty hard we're at the end of the fourth turning it's a natural time for them to change these institutions as you've pointed out many times breton woods too is really really old long in the tooth and so if they come up with a new financial system
They're not necessarily looking to tie this to anything real.
Using it to stablecoins are going to be tied to the dollar so they can have somewhere to sell their treasury bills that other countries don't want to buy.
Well, even the Bitcoin maximalist Max Keiser put out an article a couple of days ago about how if the U.S. transitions to some sort of stablecoin use, the world's going to reject that as well.
Because it's ultimately tied to the dollar.
Even though the dollar is relatively stable, it loses purchasing power.
Gold-backed stablecoins would be the way.
Even Max Keiser, who is a Bitcoin maximalist, is saying that.
The rest of the world wants to get away from the dollar system.
You mentioned the metrics on dollar usage.
In 2001, it was like 75% of all global transactions financially went on in dollars.
It's in the low 40s right now and declining rapidly.
If you look at the...
The stats on central bank gold buying, David, if you go back to 2009, it wasn't at zero, but it was real close to net zero of central banks buying gold.
Now it's off the charts.
I mean, every year it breaks another record for central bank gold buying.
You're absolutely right.
And what that has to do with is 2021, the Bank of International Settlements making Gold, taking it from a Tier 3 asset to a Tier 1 asset, which is akin to currency, and that gold recently passed the euro as second in the held assets of central banks.
It used to be the euro, now it's gold, and of course the dollar is number one.
But as we sit and look at the current administration, it's hard to figure, you know, if you wanted to create...
Trust, which is what the financial system is based off of.
It's trust and stability.
Markets hate uncertainty.
The prices of things bleeding is a reflection of the uncertainty that's in this market.
And I'm in the gold business, but you're looking at $3,000 and 50-ounce gold an ounce.
There's something wrong.
And, I mean, again, it's eventually going to go there.
I mean, we're going to see three and five.
$10,000 gold, eventually, on a long enough timeline.
But I think the rise in what we cover here every week, if you look at the all-time highs that gold is making against the dollar, there's a crisis going.
We have a currency crisis, and the rest of the world followed us in 1971.
I think it was the Swiss, where the last holdouts in 2002, they still had their, the Swiss franc was backed by silver.
But every currency on earth is a fiat currency now.
There's this massive creation of currency and debt.
Well, they've all run those simulations and they understand that all the liabilities and everything, the unfunded, all of that stuff and the massive bubble that we're in right now, that's why central banks are not only reason, but they are buying gold to reset their monetary systems and, of course, to get away from the dollar itself.
And to trade amongst themselves away from the dollar.
And this is clearly what's happening.
And in the midst of that, we're throwing tariffs everywhere.
Yeah, Bank of America is looking at this.
And they've been very, very conservative with their prices.
They have a chart that they put together.
They said if you go back to 2024, gold was $27.50 average through the year.
They said 2025, they think it's going to be...
3,063.
I think that's conservative.
But they look at 2026.
They say 3,350.
They think within two years it's going to be up to 3,500.
That's a very, very conservative one.
And they base it on the accumulation and the increase of the central banks, how they've gone up significantly.
They're the ones who came up with a 30% figure.
They said it would be more efficient for the central banks to...
Hold instead of about 11% to hold 30%.
But they also talk about what we've talked about in the past, the fact that China has told its insurance companies, hey, we would like for you to start accumulating gold.
It was prohibited.
Now that's encouraged and pushed, they said that could be equivalent to 6% of the annual gold market if they only add 1% of their assets in gold, change 1% of their assets to gold.
This is what they're looking at.
And when you talked about Matt Kaiser, I mentioned that as well the other day, saying, well, I think we go to a digital currency that is backed by gold.
That's, again, like an ETF.
You mentioned that ETFs were soaring and a lot of money was pumping into that.
I look at these ETFs, and I know you do as well.
As similar to the mortgage instruments that were created, these derivatives and so forth, because that's really what they are.
You know, it's a novel approach.
It's a con job, I think, because you're not really holding anything real.
If you get into these ETFs, what you're holding is a share of a fund, and you don't know if that fund is buying the gold or not.
And you can't redeem it in gold.
And so...
When you look at digital gold and things like that, I think maybe that might be a negative on the price of gold because they can manipulate it just as these ETFs have manipulated the price of gold and been used that way.
What do you think?
No, I think you're right.
I mean, the ETFs have shown, and I mean, if you're in the gold and silver business like myself and you're paying attention to pricing and then you're looking at supply, it doesn't make any sense.
I mean, the price of silver is ridiculous.
And I know this because, you know, you look at the 1980 all-time high of silver at $52.50 an ounce.
Well, that's like $300 worth of purchasing power today if you go dollar for dollar and how much you could get in 1980 for $52.50.
That's because of the massive manipulation that's going on between the paper and the physical market.
And you start getting into the electronics and blockchain of that, it's another opportunity.
To dilute.
I think what's happening also, the reason that the price is going crazy is because a lot of these contracts are being called and gold is being moved and reallocated, and some of those contracts can't be filled.
Maybe it's not happening on a massive scale yet, but I think if you're looking at what's happening, the price of gold is reflected in the...
The supply is not being there.
And the same thing with silver.
I think we're really on the cusp of a massive breakout of the silver price.
And again, this isn't investment advice.
It's just clearly, I just think, mathematics.
I mean, the supply, there's a 200 million ounce deficit every year or something like that, and it's growing.
And that's what they take from the above ground supply.
In these paper markets, whether it's SLV or GLD or whatever, these ETFs, I just don't think it's real, David.
I think that at the end of the day, if you were to ask for physical delivery across the board, those contracts couldn't be fulfilled.
And so, again, you have a reallocation of price, I think, that's on the horizon.
So a lot of those, if it's a proposed, you know, digitized anything or backed, you know, whether it's a silver-backed or a gold-backed.
Digitized currency, you know, take that with a grain of salt.
I mean, it's better than a stable coin, in my opinion, if you can get it.
If you're going to be paid in gold.
But if you cash out your ETF, they give you fiat currency.
That's right.
And there's no claim on it, and it's not connected to it either.
This is timely.
Rockfin Eli says, so what are good avenues for most of us who cannot afford gold?
Silver, as you're pointing out?
What? And I think that's the way a lot of people get into the ETFs.
That's the way I got into it.
I looked at it.
It's like, okay, well, I can buy one-tenth of an ounce of gold or one-tenth of an ounce of silver.
That's easy.
And, you know, I go through the brokerage firm and it's quick and it's easy and I can get a tenth of an ounce of it.
I think that ropes people in.
And I started doing that and then I realized when gold started moving, I saw, oh, wait a minute, this ETF is not moving.
Why is that?
You know, why isn't it tracking that?
And then when I looked at it and I found out that it wasn't really attached to physical gold at all.
That's when I started getting out of it.
And so I think that's why you see a lot of people jumping into it.
They say, oh, yeah, we should get into gold.
So let's buy gold through ETA.
Well, you're not buying gold.
You're buying paper from a company that's there.
But as you're pointing out, silver is there, and it's a smaller amount.
And, of course, at Wolfpack, people can buy small amounts.
If you're concerned about getting small amounts of stuff, people can get in with $50 a month and on up.
Yeah, we made it really easy.
I mean, even to buy a gram bar of gold, because I buy them in sheets of 100, and I have my crew, we break them off of those pieces and put them in individual coin sleeves.
So you can get that through.
You go to davidknight.gold.
Yeah, we can put you in a...
A grand bar of gold, about $130 or so, and I think we've got free shipping on all that stuff.
Yeah, you don't have to get an ETF in order to get a fraction of an ounce.
You can get physical gold in fractions of an ounce there at Wolfpack.
Yeah, and that's going to give you no counterparty risk.
I mean, I don't hold anybody's product.
If you buy from me, I want it out of the shop.
I want it in your hands, and that's your product.
When you have something like silver that is priced the way it is right now, and I don't know how much longer it's going to continue to do this, where it's under $40 an hour, folks.
That's crazy.
Gold hit its all-time high 30-some-odd times in the last year, in the last 12 months.
Silver hasn't hit its all-time high since 1980.
Think about that.
It makes no sense whatsoever unless you're talking about massive accumulation.
The largest physical holder of silver in the world privately is J.P. Morgan.
And you look at other governments.
China just put as a strategic reserve like nickel and lithium and other things.
They're adding silver.
The Russians added silver as a strategic reserve.
I mean, their world is moving back into assets rapidly.
It's going to show up and reflect in the prices of these commodities.
We're just not there exactly yet.
I mean, gold, because it's a monetary asset and because of, I think, Basel III with the Bank of International Settlements and the de-dollarization that's happening, I think that's reflecting the price.
But a lot of this stuff, silver is about to follow, I think, and that's just pure mathematics.
I agree.
Yeah. You know, again, when you look at the ETF stuff, The fact that it doesn't track.
But I think the other thing about it is when BlackRock decided that they wanted to get into Bitcoin, what did they do?
They got in with an ETF.
It's like, okay, now how does that make any sense?
You know, if you've got something that's physical and you want to subdivide it, like you've got to, you know.
Can't afford to get a bar of gold.
It's like a million dollars or whatever.
So let me get an ETF and let them hold the bar of gold and they can sell fractional shares of it or something like that.
As I pointed out, you can still get small amounts of physical gold.
You have a lot of different ways that that can be set up there.
But when you look at Bitcoin...
There's no need to fractionalize Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is infinitely fractionalized.
So, you know, when you look at the ETF, you say, wait a minute, there's something else going on here.
When I looked at the ETF gold and silver, wait a minute, there's something else going on here.
And that's something else we saw happen to the real estate market.
Real estate is real!
But the derivatives and all of these securitized mortgages were not real.
And you were holding garbage.
And so that's the real key.
And that's what I would really warn people about, these ETFs.
It really is a scam.
Got a question here, Tony, from Chevkin on Rumble.
Says, whatever happened to platinum?
Maybe they're going to have an excess of platinum as they get rid of internal combustion engines and the catalytic converter.
When I get rid of my catalytic converter on my car, I was able to sell it because it had platinum in it.
So maybe there'll be a glut on the market as they kill the internal combustion engines.
I don't know.
What's going on with platinum?
It's just been trading sideways for the longest time, and I sell some platinum.
It's not heavily requested.
But it moves basically sideways.
I'd have to check the spot price.
I have it in a month or two, but it's generally under $1,000 or $1,100 an ounce, and it'll go back and forth.
I think that's just a reflection.
It's not been used as a monetary metal like silver and gold has.
It's rare.
You mentioned catalytic converters and other things.
Electronics and platinum is used.
On a long enough timeline, It will break out, too.
I mean, there's a lot of things about any of these commodities, I think, are way underpriced based off of the debasement of the U.S. dollar.
I mean, you mentioned earlier about if we return to a gold standard, what would be the actual price of gold per ounce?
You know, some estimates like between $10,000 and $50,000 an ounce or some crazy number based off the debt and based off the money supply.
So, you know, I agree with that.
Platinum is just one of those things.
I think it's just waiting in the wings for something to happen.
Probably is being accumulated.
I mean, I haven't paid a great deal of attention to it because it's not my primary wheelhouse, but something will happen with platinum.
Same thing like palladium.
Palladium is another one of those metals where you go, what's the price per ounce?
It'll bounce around.
Rhodium does that.
It's another rare earth that you can find.
Precious metals dealers will deal with these, you know, platinum and rhodium and palladium as well.
But it just hasn't been on my radar.
But gold and silver are kind of all-consuming for me as far as price movement and what I watch.
That's right.
And, you know, when you're talking about the re-evaluation...
Which is a real possibility.
You know, we've seen this happen in the past, in the 30s and also in the 70s.
One guy was saying that $50,000 figure came up and he said, well, you go back and look at how FDR re-evaluated gold and everything in the 1940s.
And that was at a point in time when the U.S.'s gold holdings were about 40% of what the debt was.
And then in the 1970s, a similar thing.
At that point in time, gold was about 17% of the debt that the U.S. had.
And so what he's saying is that today, when you look at the gold holdings, the monetary number that's represented by about the 8,000 tons that they have, that is only about 2%.
Of the $37 trillion of debt.
So what he's saying is that if we went back to the 17% figure, that'd be $25,000 goal.
If we went to the 40% figure, that'd be $50,000.
We don't know.
We don't know if that's going to be re-evaluated.
But people are talking about that.
There's another article that I saw yesterday.
John Rubino.
He said essentially the same thing.
He said, how do you make a case that gold is not worth at least $10,000?
He said, because what they're doing is they're manipulating the value of the dollar and with the debt that is there.
And, of course, he's telling people to get into real stuff.
He says, get farmland, get gold, get silver, get a good vehicle, get some emergency food, learn how to grow in a garden, and things like that.
That's really what we're looking at, what is coming along the line.
I think maybe some of that has to do with the disenchantment of some of the crypto stuff, as well as...
Trump really put it out there with his meme coins.
I think he really put it in the headlines about how there's a lot of grifting going on in the crypto markets as well, isn't there?
Yeah, it's built on that, unfortunately.
And, you know, I've been in the crypto space.
Well, Bitcoin and crypto are...
Two different things, really.
They've really separated.
They look at the meme coin industry and that entire ecosystem that's built on grift.
Like I said, I will never, ever push any kind of meme coin.
You'll never hear me push an altcoin.
Ever. I think it's all speculative.
What purpose do they serve?
Bitcoin, to me, and of course we have Wise Wolf Bitcoin, it fulfills a need electronically.
Something that gold can't do, and it's a decentralized network.
You can't recreate that.
But I'm not one of these people also that tells you the price is going to be some insane number because I don't think that the markets are supporting that right now.
I mean, look at when we hit 100,000, I thought, that seems about right somewhere in there for demand.
But then, you know, we reached Inauguration Day and that went to 108,000, and then it's been...
Flat and trading sideways down right now, and it's trading sideways for the past couple of months.
And I think we're probably going to continue to see that sort of trend because the markets are scared.
The markets are fearful.
There's uncertainty.
It makes no sense.
What is the United States economic policy right now, David?
I mean, that's another question.
And there was a long article on Cointelegraph about that, and they actually looked at a timeline of Trump.
You know, he's, well, we've got a tariff.
No, I'm going to take the tariff off.
Now we're going to do this other two.
No, I'm going to take that one off.
You know, back and forth, back and forth.
And that is spooking the markets, and it is spooking Bitcoin.
And so it's that uncertainty that is spooking them.
But I think it's interesting that in that uncertainty, it's driving people to gold.
That's where people are going to go to something that is physical, that is tangible, that is outside of their system when they start worrying about how this system may collapse.
And so I thought that was a very telling aspect of when you look at it, the uncertainty and the chaos is coming from Trump and his tariff dictates, but people are running to gold and all of that rather than to Bitcoin, which I think is kind of interesting.
I mean, it's just the history shows that's what happens.
I was on a podcast a week or so ago, and I talked about Gresham's Law.
You know, Gresham's Law states that when bad money enters the system, then good money goes into hiding.
And I put a question mark over that, and I said, until when?
You know, until the bad money dies, and then good money reenters the system.
So it's an open question as to what happens next.
I mean, I think we've already seen, like, the dollar system itself was already in massive trouble.
You add on this tariff uncertainty, economic warfare, currency wars, trade wars, you add all that in, and on top of that, plus sanctions and everything else that had already caused de-dollarization to accelerate.
Well, I think you're looking at replacing the entire system with something else.
That's the only thing I can surmise from all of this.
It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever unless you're trying to have a controlled demolition of the current financial system and using chaos as a smokescreen for the reset of some kind.
That's the only thing I can glean out of all this, and it's absolutely reflected in the price of gold right now, breaking $3,000 an ounce.
For whatever reason, and I eat, sleep, and breathe this, I was surprised that we hit that price as soon as we had, David.
Yeah, everybody was predicting that for a while.
You know, there'd be like first quarter of this year, there'd be around $3,000.
And then they...
I had a different opinion because everybody got excited about Trump and the fact that he's going to go full speed ahead on crypto things and so forth and a Bitcoin reserve.
And so then it dipped.
But I always thought that was going to be temporary.
And so did you because, you know, you look at the fundamentals that are there.
Nothing is changing in terms of debt and other stuff like that.
So we knew that was going to be temporary.
By the way, you mentioned on the podcast that was on Freethought Project.
And people can still catch that there at the freethoughtproject.com.
And excellent interview that you had with us.
Knights of the Storm says, instead of a black swan, we have an orange swan event.
There we go.
I guess if you're going to have AI draw Trump as a swan, it'd have to be orange, I guess.
Now, don't confuse it with a phoenix, okay?
It may look like the phoenix.
It may become the phoenix.
Instead of burning the Tesla places, burn the swan.
Travis says, if Trump ever sells his bathroom fixtures, the gold market may crash.
There you go.
It's true.
He likes to hold gold in his homes, on the walls and things like that.
Well, you know, I've talked about what might replace it, and I think there's been, and you and I have talked about this, the Republicans are now everywhere saying, no CBDC, no CBDC, but what's going to replace it?
The stablecoin stuff.
And it's got all the functions that we don't like about CBDC already.
All the know your customer stuff, as well as being able to block an address.
You know, that's what we've been concerned about, CBDC being deplatformed, being taken out of the banking system because they don't like you for some reason or the other.
And, of course, these companies are going to follow what the government wants to do.
They work at the pleasure of the government, and so they're going to be malleable with all this stuff.
But we talk about price all the time, but when I look at this, my real issue, Oh, absolutely.
And, you know, it's throwing this argument out there.
It's like, oh, well, do you like, we're not going to do a CBDC, but we'll do the private sector and we'll do these public partnerships and then you'll get, we'll have a stable coin because it's stable.
No, I don't want any of that.
I don't hold any stable coins.
I don't see the need for them.
It's not a coin, and it's not stable.
And if it's done by a private organization, there's no privacy in it.
And even though they say it's crypto, it's not encrypted.
It's a public ledger.
All of these things are lies.
That would be a real red flag to everybody.
It's like the movie Office Space, you know, when he goes, what is it you say you do here?
You know, because that's what I look for.
A lot of the coins, especially Stago, I don't understand.
So if I've got the dollar, why do I need this thing?
I mean, I can send a wire.
I can use a card.
I mean, Bitcoin was supposed to solve that problem with private peer-to-peer electronic transactions.
So I'm not, you know, in that space, I don't understand it.
Maybe I do.
Maybe that's the issue.
I do understand it.
That's why I don't use it.
You've been right about that.
It's like, we're never going to do a CBDC.
Well, no, you didn't do that.
But you probably just bring in the stablecoins and you use the piggyback off of FedNow and all the structure that you already have.
And you talked about the KYC and know your customer and all the rest.
You're adding that in.
And then you just got to...
Your surveillance is disguised as money.
And that's exactly right, David.
So, yeah, this is another challenge, another wrench they're throwing in the whole thing on top of the fact that the dollar is in real trouble.
We're watching a train wreck of epic proportions right now, especially just being accelerated.
And I just want to remind everyone, counterparty risk is what, You should be focused on.
And that's whether you talk about assets, things that you can control.
And even if it comes down to where you own some Bitcoin, your keys, your wallet, non-custodial, not somebody else holding your keys, you holding, understanding what that means.
And then it's the same thing with gold and silver.
Physical gold and silver that you hold, or you have a private contract for physical gold and silver that you hold at a trusted vault.
Anything else?
Paper? All of that, it's only worth what the paper's printed on it if there's a crisis and you can't retrieve your asset.
I agree.
And, you know, when you look at what these people are up to, again, going back to what we saw in 2007-2008, the houses are real, real estate was real, but their derivatives, their securitization on it was not real.
And I see them...
Replaying this whole thing, you know, we talked about history doesn't repeat, it rhymes.
All this stuff seems to rhyme with that.
As they're coming in with Bitcoin ETFs, as you've got the Trump administration out there, all the three guys at the top.
Well, the two guys at the top, Treasury Secretary as well as the Commerce Secretary.
And then they've got the Interior Secretary, Doug Burgum, saying, yeah, we've got so many assets.
You know, we could sell off America.
We could have a giant America-thon.
And it's all of our physical – because they're going to always go back to a physical asset.
But it's going to be at bankruptcy prices that they're going to do this kind of stuff.
That's why we need to do what we can to try to get out of this system.
And that's what I like about – What you have to offer there.
And the fact that, as one of the listeners was pointing out, if you don't have a lot of money, you don't have to buy a large quantity at a time.
You don't have to buy an ounce of gold.
You can get a fraction of it.
There's a lot of different ways and still have it be physical.
That's what I like about what you do.
I like the different forms that I've seen it come in, little chiclets that you can break off or the...
The bills that have physical gold interwoven into them, those are some really neat things.
I think it's one of the best things about Wolfpack is seeing the different forms that you can get gold in.
We're really proud of that.
I created a model that is the opposite.
I inverted it in what most of the big gold and silver companies do.
And, you know, it's a lot of moving parts, and we've got a great crew.
We pack hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of packages a month.
It's a lot of fun.
And a lot of them, the majority of them, David, are the small tiers, the small ones that, you know, most of these precious metals companies, they don't care.
You know, they're not seeking that business.
They don't want that business.
To them, it's a hassle.
But I love that we're able to do that, and we give a lot of variety for it.
So, you know, again, that's something that you can do at davidknight.gold.
You can go check out the Wolfpack.
And I wanted to announce today, we put out an email yesterday, but I created a new tier.
So I did this for budgeting reasons, and I wanted to be a lot more competitive.
If you went to the $500 level on Wolfpack, the next tier was $1,000.
I put one in the middle, so it's $500 and then it jumps to $750, and that's called Sigma Wolf.
Now, if you go to that new level, it's free shipping.
That's where free shipping starts.
And then you can choose if you want gold, silver, or a mix.
So you get to choose at that level on forward.
Every tier after that, you can choose if you want only gold, only silver, or if you want us to mix.
That's a little bit more work for us on this end, but I think it makes us a lot more competitive.
I was going to tell folks, too, if they want to upgrade from like a Wise Wolf or maybe they've been looking to upgrade for a while, we're going to put a free silver dollar in there.
So just let us know.
We'll help you.
If you're already a member, if you want to upgrade, we'll help you do that.
We'll have to cancel the old one.
But we'll make sure that we get you a free Morgan or Peace dollar, something in there, free silver dollar.
Oh, that's great.
I just had a comment here.
Nayit Lovin says, hey, David, can you ask Tony about his deal for a first-time buyer?
I think it said you get free silver.
Is that still happening there?
I know you just mentioned if you do the upgrade, you get a free silver coin.
If you do upgrade from any of the tiers into Sigma Wolf, that's a free silver dollar.
And if you just use promo code 1776, if you're joining, we're going to put some free silver in whatever package.
That's great.
Well, I really like what you do.
And, of course, that is the key.
You know, regularly saving at whatever level that you can afford.
And, again, you've got this new one, Sigma Wolf at $750.
People can decide if they want to get all gold, all silver, or mix it and that type of thing, and free shipping.
But it goes, you know, that's at $750, but you can do it $50 a month if you want to.
And so, you know, people can buy any quantity that they want.
They can set up a regular savings program.
I really do.
What you do there is a big help to a lot of people.
So I really do appreciate that.
And it's unique.
I don't see anybody else doing that in the gold or silver stuff.
Knights of the Storm says, Stablecoin is about knowing everything you do and being able to tax every transaction, like when you pay the babysitter down the street.
And it's also about shutting down your access to your own money because they can flip that switch and stop that smart contract and ban your address just like that.
And we've seen enough of that.
De-platforming and de-banking already.
I've experienced it myself, especially with the tech people.
They're the ones, Johnny on the spot, you know, kicking you off of platforms, kicking you off of PayPal and things like that.
So we know, I'm not under any illusions that simply because something is a private app or something like PayPal, that it's going to be reasonable.
Or not controlled by the government.
It absolutely is controlled by the government.
Anything else you want to tell us about?
You've got a show that's coming up right after this show finishes.
Tell us a little bit about where people can find that.
It's been a couple of weeks.
I was sick last week.
I was dealing with whatever gain of function.
Whatever vaccine thing that ran.
I think it's measles.
Oh, right.
It's got to be measles.
Watch that episode of the Brady Bunch so I don't have to be afraid of the...
No, I was dealing...
I hadn't been sick since 2016.
I got a little chest cold or whatever and a little bit, you know, chills.
And I was just laid up in my cabin in the Ozarks.
So I had time to think, though.
So that'll be an interesting show.
It's Arterburn Radio Transmission.
be live on on rumble in the america unplugged channel and uh and twitter uh at tony arter brown be uh live there so come check us out we'll uh we'll do at least an hour of parapolitics and That's great.
Another question here from Eli.
Eli says, for crypto, what about Monero?
That is one of the private coins where people cannot see your transactions.
You still have the entrance ramps and the exit ramps and things like that, but within that...
Their transactions are private.
Also, there is, I think, another one called Xano, I think, as well as PirateCoin.
But again, when you've got small currencies like that, you may wind up having something that's illiquid.
That's the other side of it, just what we're seeing with Rockfin.
When you get something that has a small side cryptocurrency, sometimes you can't get your money out of it because there's not a buyer on the other side.
Yeah, I used to be on Rockfin.
I remember that channel.
I just woke up and had zero followers one day.
If you know anything about crypto, there's some amazing things that go on in the space.
Monero, pirate chain of these privacy coins.
I love the fact that they've put a lot of work into that because I think privacy is key and it's your money.
It's your funds.
We live in this world because of the Because of the crime of the income tax, and I think it's a punishment.
The income tax and the system itself is built by the world's wealthiest people to make sure that they don't have competition.
And they sold it to us by saying it's other people who are going to pay for it.
The rich people are going to pay the taxes, and they deserve to get taxed.
The same thing that we're hearing from Trump now about the tariffs.
And, of course, these are people, both Trump and the Democrats, they don't care about the deficit.
So why do they have to tax us, is what I always say.
And we know why.
We're way past fiscal sanity or having anything be budget neutral for taxation.
It's now just a weapon.
It's a weapon that's wielded to make sure that you stay in your place.
And so we wouldn't have to worry about any of these things.
It would be a moot point.
Privacy coins would be a moot point if there wasn't such an antiquated punishment known as the income tax.
If we really wanted to boost the economy, you should suspend the income tax.
If you really wanted to use tariffs strategically, do that and get rid of the income tax and invite companies to move here.
I promised you we'd have an economic renaissance.
Oh, yeah.
In eight weeks.
If you announced that and just went stable and said, we're going to give the market certainty and build here, but we're not doing that.
That's one of the things Mises said about the tariffs, that, hey, if Trump wants to have fair trade, just say, hey, I'll get rid of all the tariffs if you'll get rid of all your tariffs, right?
Sure. And so we can have free trade and we can level it out at zero, but they're not going to do that because they want the money.
Well, right.
It's so funny.
Everybody acts like, well, I read Adam Smith in Wealth of Nations is an invisible hand, and we're going to all adhere to it, except me, because the countries all do that.
I mean, Canada has a 230% tariff on dairy products.
230! And so the Chinese have massive tariffs on incoming products into their country.
They used our old playbook.
So this is all big talk on the world stage about free trade, but it's only the United States that's supposed to take all this punishment and open up your markets, all the rest of that.
We've been doing that for a long time as they've been looting the Treasury here domestically.
This is something completely different.
It has nothing to do with economic nationalism.
In my opinion, I don't think we're watching economic nationalism.
I think we're watching some sort of creative destruction.
Oh yeah, I agree.
Creative destruction and a massive grift.
21st century robber barons is what I see these people.
You spell it with just one R instead of two.
Maybe that was what was always on Trump's mind.
Hey, we could have him be a robber baron.
I don't know.
But one last comment here before I let you go, Tony.
On Rockfin, Qualamo says, Tony, can you speak about your IRA platforms next week and maybe have a rep on as well?
Well, I'll tell you.
I've used Tony for the IRA stuff, and that's what we have our IRAs in.
And it's a simple way to do it, really.
And you can do that because of the income tax code.
You have to have a third party that holds the stuff for you.
But, you know, Tony can help you get through that.
And he's very helpful in terms of holding your hand and getting the funds into that.
So I can speak from experience.
Yeah, if you've got an IRA or a 401k or if you want to start one, you can just go to davidnight.gold, reach out to us.
We've got that down.
It's an easy process, especially if you're holding a lot of paper right now and you've got an IRA or 401k and you're like, what am I going to do here with these?
And the markets are bleeding.
A lot of my clients, and I was thinking about that the other day, I was thinking, wow, it's been because I've been doing this for years.
And I'm thinking some of them that...
Did significant amounts, you know, years and years ago.
It's looking pretty good now, you know, as far as, especially the gold holdings, you know, like those gold holdings that, you know, went from, you know, I was putting people in IRAs at $1,500 an ounce, you know.
We were a long ways from that.
I wish I had to move stuff over at that point, but I didn't do it.
So, yeah, I know.
It is amazing, and I think it's going to continue because I think we're going to have inflation.
I think we're going to have debt.
I think we're going to have a financial reset.
And I think part of that financial reset is going to be a reset of the value of gold, especially because it's not simply something that the federal government can have the final say on.
It's going to be because all these other countries are moving to that.
It's going to really force their hand, I think.
But we'll see.
We'll see what happens.
Always great to talk to you, Tony.
Again, go to davidknight.gold.
I'll take you to Wise Wolf Gold.
Thank you so much, Tony, for your support over the years.
I really do appreciate it.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Okay, folks, we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.
Unlike most revolutions where the people rise against a real economic oppression, in our case here in Boston, we are fighting for purely an abstract principle.
It is, however, not nearly so abstract as a young gentleman supposes.
The issue involved here is one of monopoly.
Today the British government will monopolize the sale of tea in our country.
Tomorrow it will be something else.
*Squeak* *Squeak* *Squeak* *Squeak* *Squeak* *Squeak* *Squeak* *Squeak*
*Squeak* *Squeak* *Squeak* Liberty.
It's your movie.
Move.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
All right, welcome back.
And I just want to thank you, Alex Ramirez.
Thank you very much for the tip on Rockfin.
He said, David, this is my first donation, but I'm a long-time listener all the way back to when you were InfoWars.
It's not much, but it's something.
God bless you and your family.
Thank you so much.
I appreciate that.
And I just want to reiterate that if you leave tips, it's better for us.
If you look at some of the other places, I'm going to talk about Cash App, for example.
If you have that app, if your bank supports Zelle, Actually, there's no fees at all on Zelle, so all your money gets through to us there.
But I haven't read the donors for Cash App this month, and so let me do that.
As a matter of fact, going back to the very end of last month, we have Josephine, who has done four different donations on Cash App.
I won't read your name four different times, but towards the end of the month, we had Dave B. Timothy D. Anthony R., Michael B., David W., Angelina S., Jane H., and George W., and Robert M. Thank you all for your support on Cash App.
We really do appreciate that.
Let me talk a little bit about what is going on with the vaccine stuff, because we have a lot of new information about this, of course, with measles.
They're pushing the panic button really hard.
This article from the Daily Mail, listen to this headline, DC is on red alert as the world's most infectious disease is detected.
What would that be?
Well, they want to tell you that it's measles.
Well, it's a good thing it's not anything serious, is all I can say.
This reminds me very much of CPAC.
I will say, though, when you're as old and decrepit as most of the government is, measles might actually be a threat.
It might be really bad for Mitch McConnell.
Of course, stairs are a threat to him as well.
So I guess we should ban stairs.
I don't know.
But it reminds me of CPAC back in 2020.
Everybody goes up to CPAC, and they were just kicking off this campaign of fear about a pandemic.
Remember, they said, they're having a convention there, and all the liberals are saying, you guys are all going to die, and I'm so glad you're all going to die.
Well, they didn't.
None of them died.
You talk about decrepit people.
Right? Old, decrepit politicians in Washington, D.C., and COVID did nothing to them.
But apparently, measles is now even more important to them.
And we know why.
I mean, this is all a manufactured thing.
This is what they're saying.
Most infectious disease in the world.
Health chiefs in Washington, D.C. Do you know we got health chiefs?
We got health czars and dictators have confirmed a case of measles.
A case.
And a patient who visited multiple locations while contagious.
Now, they haven't had anybody else come down with this.
As hard as they've been trying, in Texas and other places, to try to manufacture a pandemic, you mean you can come up with 300 cases in a state that's got 30 million people?
And this is your most infectious disease?
Hmm. Maybe we don't have to worry about infectious diseases.
Maybe this whole contagion thing is a lot of hooey.
Anyway, anyone who is unvaccinated or who got their MMR shots before 1963.
Actually, I don't even think they had MMR shots before.
I'm sorry, 1968.
I don't think they had them before 1968.
That's when they reformulated it.
They had...
Measles going back to 1963, they reformulated it in 1968.
I'm not sure exactly the date that they combined it with the others.
But anyway, the growing measles outbreak says the Daily Mail in the U.S. has infected over 300 people in West Texas out of 31 million.
So contagious.
It comes at a time of falling vaccine rates and low trust in public health institutions.
That, folks, is the crisis.
The falling vaccination rates and the low trust in these people, that is their crisis.
And they're pulling out all the stops and having all of their surrogates in the media pull out all the stops.
And so now, you know, 300 people out of 31 million in Texas and in Kansas, out of 3 million people, they say they've got 23 cases.
Wow. The world's most infectious disease.
Be afraid.
Be very afraid, right?
Well, it turns out, if we go back and we revisit the measles death, remember they were so excited when they had a measles death, and as a matter of fact, the doctor that is there, that works with the Mennonite families who don't want to get their kids vaccinated, he said he was being interviewed when that news broke, and he said the reporter was actually gleeful about that.
He said it was disgusting to see that, but they wanted that.
Well, it turns out...
That it really wasn't about measles after all.
And we had an earlier report from Children's Health Defense saying that the family had complained that the child was being denied necessary respiratory treatment and things like that.
We have more information now because the family said they want to speak out.
A child who died in a Texas hospital after developing pneumonia following a measles infection died as a result of Medical error, including a failure to administer the correct antibiotic in time.
The family of the six-year-old girl, the parents said that they wanted people to know what had happened to their daughter so that it wouldn't happen to other children.
They got their records from the Covenant Children's Hospital in Lubbock, where their child died on February the 26th.
The parents told Dr. Ben Edwards, Well, see, that's the key thing.
You know, they don't want to put themselves and their family at the center of this firestorm.
Coming from the media and from the pharmaceutical companies to vaccinate everybody.
But here's the issue, folks.
This is not about winning an argument as it is for these reporters who are being paid by the pharmaceutical companies.
So they're very excited that they can say that somebody died from measles even though they didn't die.
It's about this.
This meme, I saw this on Twitter.
It was put up by Dr. Jane Ruby.
This is what we're talking about.
Here's a baby on the floor.
And for those people who are listening and not seeing what this is, there are needles and boxes of vaccines surrounding this child.
And it's unbelievable.
But that's what they want to put into your child.
And they want 76 vaccines by the time the child turns 18. And what was the count that I came up with the other day?
The first year, 26 of them in a child in the first year?
Starting just hours after birth.
It's no wonder that we have an epidemic of autism and allergies and other things like that in America.
That's what this fight is about.
That picture right there.
That's what this is about.
You know, your family, the other family, but the truth needs to come out.
Well, it's Dr. Pierre Corey, who has a lot of experience in pulmonary and critical care medicine.
They took the records to him, Children's Health Defense and the family.
He looked at the records.
He says, I've done medical case reviews for malpractice lawyers for a good part of my career.
This case was tragic, he said.
According to Dr. Pierre Corey's analysis of the records, the girl died from a secondary bacterial pneumonia that had little to do with measles, he said.
When I say it had little to do with measles, it was secondary bacterial pneumonias can happen after any viral infection.
Why does the infection even need to be viral?
We're talking about a bacterial pneumonia.
Why is it even necessary that it be characterized as viral?
And how does a viral create an environment for bacteria?
I've never understood that.
I still don't understand that.
I still don't believe that.
Because, again, all the viral stuff that they do is not based on observational science.
They haven't observed or isolated any of this stuff.
And they don't see, because they can't observe the viruses, they don't even bother to isolate them.
You don't see that, oh, well, look, this person is sick and they've got, we can see that with bacteria.
You can't see that with a virus.
So nevertheless, this child had bacterial pneumonia.
It said, initially admitted to the emergency room for secondary bacterial pneumonia.
At that time, her measles rash had already faded.
She was not administered the correct antibiotic for treating her secondary bacterial pneumonia until roughly two and a half days later.
Doctors had already placed her on a mechanical ventilator at that time.
And I said that the very first day.
I said, I bet they killed her with a ventilator.
Didn't I?
Medical error is the third leading cause of death in the U.S. Here's your epidemic, folks.
Medical malpractice.
What do they call that?
Iatrogenic deaths, you know, deaths caused by the doctors.
And then you add to that the deaths caused by the pharmaceuticals.
So Dr. Corey said they didn't put her on the most common, which is azithromycin.
That is an antibiotic that my family has used many times and has been tolerated by everybody.
Again, you know, you can use the wrong antibiotic, just like they did on Whistler.
Absolutely no reason.
Give them such a strong and dangerous antibiotic as that flocks in these chloroquinalones or whatever they call that poison, but it's a whole family of them.
Be very cautious of that.
Yeah, things like azithromycin and others don't seem to be dangerous as these.
I don't know.
Anyway, I'm not endorsing any of these things.
She had a bacterial pneumonia that was called mycoplasma pneumonia.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, mycoplasma is a single form of bacteria that causes an infection that can occur in different parts of the body, such as respiratory, urinary, or genital tracts.
They said the tragedy is that the mycoplasma is an extremely common bacteria.
And azithromycin is very effective against mycoplasma.
He said, if I'm taking care of someone and I'm rounding on them every day, and I see that today they're doing a little bit worse than yesterday, And then the next day, they're doing a little bit worse than the day before.
I'm going to review exactly what I'm doing and say, what am I missing here?
What else can I do?
But he said that didn't happen until the test showed up on a computer.
And even after it showed up on the computer, they waited another 10 hours to do anything about it.
And then when they have a death, the doctor, Dr. Edwards, said there was almost giddiness in the reporter's response to the news that he saw on his phone as he was interviewing Dr. Edwards.
Who, again, has been in their crosshairs because he's a doctor that doesn't give vaccines.
He said it was disgusting, actually.
He says, I want people to know that Peter, the father, doesn't want this information to be used on the other side in the same almost giddiness kind of way as, aha, we got you.
Well, I think we did get him.
And I'm not giddy about it.
I think it is a tragedy what is being done.
By the so-called medical profession.
And I think it needs to be exposed.
And I think we need to trumpet this as loud as we can to show what is happening with this mass murder.
The fraud that is being perpetrated on people for profits.
That's my issue with all of this stuff.
As I said, you know, when you look at this, this picture, that's got to stop.
That has to stop.
So when children are being harmed by this, this is what we're fighting.
These people, they get giddy and gleeful when, oh, look, we can say somebody died from measles.
That means that we've got an excuse to force kids to get 76 shots by the time they're 18. So, again, this is not a debate that we should run from.
This is not information that we should run from.
This is information we should push out there.
Because this is about saving lives.
It's what the medical community ought to be about, but they're not.
So he says there's potential risks, there's complications, there's death from MMR.
He said we need to have that conversation at the table, both sides in a truthful, honest manner for the sake of these children.
Well, the problem is, is that they have scheduled autism in this kind of approach.
The vaccine schedule.
It is a schedule for autism, for autoimmune disease, for allergies, and the rest of it.
That's what that is.
It's scheduled.
They have it scheduled.
That needs to be opposed.
So, as we have rumors that HHS is going to actually look at the possible links between vaccine and autism, the Washington Post goes into attack mode.
The Washington Post runs a preemptive hit piece on the vaccine researcher that has reportedly been tapped to head, an autism study.
So they're going to use ad hominem attacks, anything they can.
The problem is, this guy is a very reputable researcher, David Geyer.
The Post's claims has been tapped by HHS to lead a study of possible links between vaccines and autism.
And you know, we see this.
We see these hit pieces being done by the Washington Post.
I remember when Gary Webb, who did Dark Alliance, where he exposed the journalist who exposed the CIA creating crack cocaine and the crack cocaine epidemic.
And he won a journalistic prize for that.
And so then the CIA, who's...
Basically running the crack cocaine and crack cocaine epidemic.
Gets a team of reporters at the LA Times.
I think they had seven different reporters focused on this other reporter to destroy him.
To discredit him, to destroy his life.
But his research held up.
But he couldn't get a job anywhere.
And so they do that.
They use these trash outlets like the LA Times or the Washington Post to do this type of thing.
Geyer is an expert on thimerosal.
The mercury-based preservative that has been used as an adjuvant in vaccines.
And on the connections between toxic exposure and autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders.
He has conducted extensive analysis on the CDC's Vaccine Safety Data Link, a non-public database with data on more than 10 million patients.
The CDC uses a database to monitor vaccine adverse events.
He also is lead or second author of hundreds of peer-reviewed articles on these and related topics.
However, The Post and other mainstream news outlets described him solely as a vaccine skeptic.
Again, that is supposed to, you know, that's like, well, you don't agree with me politically?
You're a racist.
You're anti-Semitic or whatever.
That's supposed to be the end of it.
Use these pejorative terms.
He's a conspiracy theorist.
He's a vaccine skeptic and so forth.
Well, I think it's important to talk a little bit about, and Joe Rogan just had a doctor on to talk about what she had seen.
She's written a book on vaccines and what she discovered.
She said she didn't come to it from a standpoint that she had anybody in her family that had been harmed by it.
She had no bias one way or the other.
It just came to her.
She started looking at it as a researcher, and because of her honesty and integrity, she went where the research led.
And, of course, it's led to her being persecuted quite a bit.
So it's good that she was on the Rogan thing.
This is what she had to say about the use of mercury.
This is one of the realities of vaccine manufacture, which I want your audience to understand, is that vaccines, while it might look like just a clear liquid, in order to make a vaccine, you have to have either a cow that you put ulcers on and scrape the pus off, or you can evolve it as it had evolved to maybe getting...
You know, some tumorous cells that came out of a cocker spaniel's kidney or monkey balls or monkey kidneys.
And you plate those cells out and then you inoculate it with what you want to grow to put in your vaccine later.
But in order to keep those cells alive, you have to put animal blood on it.
You have to put different nutrients on top of it.
You have to put antibiotics, canamycin, you know, things like that related to the COVID.
Here, mercury.
Okay, so in the end, you can make sure when you have your final product that if you put a little bit of mercury in there, that it's less likely for any of the fungus or the spores or the bacteria or the adventitious viruses that you didn't know about that were there before will be in your final product.
Wonderful. So you have a product now that you can be not completely sure has any of these.
Deadly microbes, but now has mercury, which the only places it's actually okay to have on the planet mercury is in vaccines, your tooth, or a toxic landfill.
So if you were to drop a vaccine at a vaccine clinic onto the floor...
The hazmat guys would come, and you're not allowed to just pick it up if it's a mercury-containing vaccine.
The hazmat people have to come and take that away.
Yet we're okay to take a portion of that vial and inject it into a child, a three-month-old child.
How does that work?
Yeah, how does that work?
And I had my realization that thimerosal was mercury when, as I said before, when I was using eye drops when I had contact lenses back in...
80s, I guess it was.
And I'd put it in, and my eyes would just go blood red immediately.
And it's like, I can't even use these things.
And I told that to an optometrist who was trying to get me to use contacts.
At one point, he goes, oh, that's thimerosal.
That's mercury.
We don't use that anymore.
Well, except that they do in vaccines and fillings and things like that.
And, of course, that's much more dangerous than injecting it in, than putting it into your eyes even.
So, yeah, how did we get to this point?
Well, it turns out researchers have conducted a case control study involving 163 MS cases and 1,604 matched controls.
And they found that individuals vaccinated for hepatitis B within three years before their MS diagnosis had significantly higher risk of developing MS compared to unvaccinated individuals.
They don't know, and they don't care.
They just follow down this path.
And they certainly don't care.
Here's the 17-year-old who died after taking the COVID shot, the Trump shot.
But an Ontario judge in Canada denies his family's liability claim.
And the reasons given by this judge should outrage you.
The judge ruled that the Department of Health has no duty of care.
They can just kill you.
They don't have any duty to preserve your...
How did we get to this point?
I mean, it used to be first do no harm.
Now it's I have no duty of care.
I have no responsibility.
I can kill you if I want.
They had no duty of care to the Canadian teenager who died after receiving the vaccine.
The judge said, there is no private law duty of care to individual members of the public injured by government core policy decisions in the handling of health emergencies, which impact the general population.
This is a whole disconnect between the health of the individual and this nebulous We call public health.
And I've said over and over again that if there is no health of the individual and there's no concern for the health of the individual, as there isn't in these public health agencies, oh, you are, you know, just one part of the herd.
We don't really care about you, but we care deeply about the herd.
Oh, do you really?
You care about the herd, but you don't care about the individuals.
If there is no individual health, there is no public health, right?
It's just like Jesus.
He left the 99 and he went to look for the one lost sheep.
That's what a shepherd would do because a shepherd cares about individuals.
These people don't.
It goes on to say, this judge did, imposition of a private duty of care would have a negative impact on the ability of the defendants to prioritize interest of the entire public.
Again. What does public health even mean if you don't care about the health of the individuals?
If you have no duty to care for an individual, then you don't care for the herd either.
After his death, his family questioned if health officials had warned Canadians that a possible side effect of receiving a COVID-19 vaccine was death.
The family took this position to the court.
But has been denied a hearing because, hey, we got this thing called public health.
As I said before, public health.
1920s, the communists.
The first ones to kill babies and call it abortion.
And that was their public health, their communist institution.
Yeah, this is a criminal enterprise, folks.
This is mass murder for profit.
That's what it is.
And, you know, when we look at this, You know, these pharmaceutical ads, and I'm glad that RFK Jr. is going to do it.
I mean, he's going to be a mixed bag for sure.
I'm going to say a lot of stuff already that I really don't like.
As I said before, and I've said this, when just before the 2016 election, Alex Jones knew that I didn't like Donald Trump.
And so the two of us were alone in the break room, and he said, What are we going to do if Trump wins?
Meaning, what are you going to do?
And I said, well, we'll applaud when he does the right thing, and we'll criticize him when he does the wrong thing.
And Alex goes, hmm.
And he walked away.
I was fired before Trump left office.
But look, if RFK Jr. does the right thing, I'm willing to say it's the right thing.
And I think it's the right thing.
To push for a big pharma ad ban.
And why do I say that?
Because they're murdering people and because their products are being fraudulently advertised and because their entire industry is a fraud.
And the purpose of these Ask Your Doctor commercials is not even to defraud you.
It's not even to...
I mean, who in their right mind...
Would look at one of these absurd commercials and say, well, that's what I need.
Let me go ask my doctor.
Maybe some people, I'm sure some people would do that.
And they have been defrauded.
But if you really listen to, as you see them running slow motion through the field, if you listen to the rapid patter of all of the things that will happen to you if you use this, it usually includes, you know, if they give it to you for condition X, it usually includes A much worse version of Condition X. That's usually one of the many things that can happen to you.
But when we look at this, that's not what it's about.
It's about buying influence with the media companies.
You're not going to have any 60 Minutes investigation of the vaccine industry like they did after swine flu, because now 60 Minutes and CBS is getting so much vaccine advertising money.
And it was the debacle of the swine flu in 76 that led to them pushing to get their immunity.
They were drowning in lawsuits after that and many other things.
So the U.S. is one of only two countries on Earth that allow this kind of advertising, this kind of ask-your-doctor ad.
And as I said, it is fraudulent.
And they're buying the science of these media companies, and it needs to stop.
It needs to stop.
This is not about a free speech issue at all.
You're not free to defraud people.
You're not free to kill people.
You should never be free for that.
America's health system isn't just flawed.
It's harming public health, distorting individual health, folks, is what it's harming.
Distorting journalism, fueling big pharma's malignant influence over our daily lives.
And you're talking about malignant.
It is a malignant cancer.
And it is metastasizing.
And it's metastasizing unopposed.
Because all the money that they pour into the media stuff brought to you by Pfizer, that inoculates them from any criticism.
Just as Fauci got them inoculated against any legal liability.
TV drug ads are not designed for information.
They're designed to manipulate.
I agree, but where I differ with this person, it's really designed to manipulate the media, not the patients.
They pretend to have knowledge that they don't have.
And we look at this and it's like, is everything really caused by viruses?
I just talked about how...
The vaccine, people who are vaccinated, had an increase in their rate of MS. We don't even know what the mechanism is for that.
I mean, we can see it if we look at the trends, but we don't know.
Now, here's a doctor who said that they think maybe that the MS is related to parasites.
They make it sound in organized medicine that because we can label something, we really understand it.
And one of my favorite examples is multiple sclerosis.
You know, we claim that, and I'm a spine surgeon, for all my life I did neurology evaluations, and we'd have somebody come in and they thought it was their back or their neck, and I'd examine them and see them and think, no, that's not what's going on.
Let's get, you know, this may be something else, thinking about multiple sclerosis or MS, so I would get an MRI of the brain and the spinal cord, and it would come back with a reading by the, and I'd look at it too, but it would come back as a reading from the radiologist, oh, there are plaques in the brain and the spinal cord.
And that means MS. So, but what is MS?
They never take it the next step, and what causes it?
Well, finally, we have a really good pathologist, Dr. McDonald, down, I think it's in Florida, who actually did very careful sectioning of the brain and spinal cord and found out that 100% of the dead MS patients he had autopsied had parasites in their brain and spinal cord.
Some of it was actually grossly visible to the naked eye.
So we just accepted over my whole 45 years in medicine, we accepted that the smart people at the universities were paying attention to this stuff.
And what we're learning, thanks to COVID, I will say, is that they weren't paying attention, that this can't be by accident.
One of the things, too, I'll say is that after 45 years in medicine and seeing them telling us things that are completely wrong over and over and over again...
You finally wake up and realize this is not by accident.
This is a long-term calculated plan to keep us sick for some reason and to kill us prematurely.
And that's why they should not be allowed to advertise on TV.
And to buy the silence of the people that should be calling this stuff out.
But you know, we talk about the MS. You said 100% of the patients that she autopsied had parasites with it.
I just told you that people who had been vaccinated three years before their diagnosis of MS had a significantly higher risk of MS than did the unvaccinated people.
And could it be something like parasites are being transferred in the vaccines?
Do you really think that these vaccines are sterile?
Do you think they're clean?
Wake up!
You don't know what these processes are, and the government doesn't care.
Even when this was being discussed at the very beginning, and they were saying, well, we're going to put this in PEG, polyethylene glycol, and pegylate it, right?
So what's going to be carrying these active ingredients?
And people are like, well, you know, should ask, what is this active ingredient?
You're going to turn my body into a manufacturer of spike proteins?
That's what I said.
I said, so when does it stop?
Well, we just had a person I played this week said, I'm now on 1,500 days of this, and my body is still manufacturing the spike protein.
That was a question I asked at the very beginning.
So you're going to use the bodies, you're going to turn on the bodies, and you're going to have them start manufacturing spike proteins.
What's the off switch?
Turns out there really isn't an off switch.
And so they were going to encapsulate this in PEG.
And the people at Children's Health Defense looked at it and said, well, we know that that's going to cause anaphylactic shock for a lot of people to have allergies to this stuff, and you're going to inject that into them?
And so they called the FDA.
The FDA said, we don't care.
Call Pfizer.
Pfizer, of course, didn't care.
They did call Pfizer, but Pfizer didn't care.
This is totally unsupervised.
They don't care that there is all kinds of DNA contamination in these vaccines either.
So the question is...
Is there something in there that is a contamination that is causing people to get these parasites that seem to be associated 100% of the time with MS?
You're not allowed to look at any of this stuff.
And if you start to look at any connections to any of this stuff, then they stick the Washington Post on you.
That's where we are in this country.
Well, Trump has said that he's going to look into Planned Parenthood's illegal sale of aborted baby parts.
This is not, again, I hope that he does it.
I honestly don't think that he will.
Remember that all of this went public in 2015, before he ever even ran for a president.
So it was already an issue.
He never talked about it when he ran the first time.
He didn't talk about it when he ran the third time.
He didn't, second time, or the third time.
But somebody, a reporter, asked him if he'd look into it.
Yeah, I think we ought to do that.
And so now, and this is live site news, and they would like to see this looked into.
But this is wishful thinking, I think.
In the same way that a lot of people have projected when Trump makes a comment, like, oh, well, I think that we need to...
It was great when we had tariffs instead of income taxes.
So they look at it and go, he's going to get rid of the income tax and replace it with tariffs.
No, he didn't say that.
That's just your wishful thinking that you're projecting onto him.
So I think this is wishful thinking being projected onto him.
He says, well, that's certainly a subject that's been debated for a long time.
And yeah, we'll look into it.
Yeah. And so I say, he's going to look into it.
Don't get your hopes up.
I hope he does.
I hope he does.
But I don't think that he cared ever.
I don't think that he cares now.
Well, Trump is going to cut funding to Gates-Gavi vaccine partnership.
It says, well, that's also a hopeful headline.
That's coming from Daily Skeptic.
The reality is that what he's doing is he's cutting funding to USAID.
And since USAID was giving money to Gates and their Gavi vaccine partnership, Then they say, well, okay, so he's cutting money to Bill Gates.
And there's a good article from Daily Skeptic talking about the money flow and how Gates profits from being one of the biggest sponsors of the WHO.
And Gabby is a central player to the global pandemic thing and the WHO.
He is contributing.
Through pledges, through CEPI and other things, about $2 billion goes into CEPI.
It includes $155 million from Gates.
And he kind of primes this in and uses that as leverage.
Gavi has deep pockets as the WHO that accounts for 8% to 10% of the income of these different organizations.
He funnels money into these organizations, and then they in turn buy things from him.
So it really is an investment, as all of these donations to, whether it's politicians or whether it's the WHO, they're all investments.
They expect to get something back from it, and he's getting a lot of money from that as well.
But I wanted to focus on the USAID aspect of it.
A lot of people are talking about this.
I mentioned before that Franklin Graham's Samaritan's Purse, getting lots of money from USAID as it had been shut down, but then they're going to give back.
But it's not primarily a charitable thing.
The real purpose of USAID has always been the CIA.
And John Kiriakou, who is a whistleblower, a CIA whistleblower, has pointed that out yet again to everybody, how the USAID...
John F. Kennedy, when he created USAID, along with the Peace Corps and Vista, I'm sure never fathomed that it would be essentially taken over by the CIA.
Or, as Senator William Proxmire, a former senator from Wisconsin, said, the CIA's beachhead in the State Department.
The CIA has been For many years, all over USAID.
In fact, in doing research for a piece I wrote a couple of weeks ago on USAID, I found a declassified memo, two memos, as a matter of fact, they were identical.
But Senator Ted Kennedy wrote to the CIA in 1972 and said that he had a source who said that the CIA was funneling money through USAID to Laotian mercenaries.
Was this true?
And the CIA writes back to Kennedy, and there's an identical letter that comes back from State Department, under which USAID fell.
And it was signed by Henry Kissinger.
And it said, yeah, we're using USAID to send money to the Laotian mercenaries.
And we did it in 69, 70, and 71, in addition to 72. Wow.
What are you going to do about it?
Yeah. Uncleared Senator Ted Kennedy.
And then what happened?
Literally nothing happened.
And that's really the scary part of this.
Literally nothing happened.
They continued to use USAID for the Cambodians, later on for the Iranians, later on for the Cubans and the Ecuadorians, and it just continued up until at least two years ago.
Yeah, yeah, John Kiriakou.
He's dropping a lot of truth moms lately.
Yeah, CIA, right there at USAID.
Now they got their...
Not their man, but their woman is going to be running CDC.
She's been involved with BARDA.
She's been involved with ARPA-H and all the rest of this stuff, bringing high-tech nightmares to the CDC.
And this is the way this has gone for the longest time.
Of course, he mentions Henry Kissinger as well.
Henry Kissinger, the mentor and the controller of Steve Pchenik, as part of Operation Gladio.
Can't let it go without mentioning that connection again.
But somebody that I opposed at InfoWars and someone who demanded that I be fired, as a matter of fact.
And he got what he wanted from Alex, because Alex does what the CIA wants.
But I want to talk a little bit about letters while we're talking about email.
This was sent to me by a listener who has a channel, Vital Resistance.
You can find them on X. And did some research that I thought was very good.
I wanted to give it some attention here.
He says, conduct a search for the word measles among the nearly 2,000 so-called adverse event reactions of special interest.
It was contained in the document that Pfizer wanted withheld for 75 years.
He took a snapshot of it.
He's tweeted that out.
He said, this image is obviously a screenshot of the document that Pfizer wanted to keep hidden for 75 years.
If you search for measles, you will find that it is one of the things that is there.
Isn't that interesting?
And they said they found it there.
Well, I don't know if they did or not.
I don't know if they've isolated anything or not, but they put that there.
And you know, one of the reasons, when we go through the COVID stuff, they had meningitis vaccines.
That were being used in the control group.
So in other words, they say, well, you know, we've got a control group here for the truncated studies.
They didn't run the studies out.
As I've said many times, I'll just say it real quickly again.
If they're looking at a therapeutic, they take people who are sick with that, already have the condition, and they divide them into two groups.
One group gets a placebo, the other one gets a treatment.
For vaccines, they don't do that.
Instead, what they do is they just give it to One group and the other group that gets a placebo, and they just let them circulate around.
It's one of the reasons why it needs to take a very long time, according to their theory, to know if this thing works, because they said we can't deliberately expose somebody to any of this stuff.
That would be unethical.
No, they just don't want to do the science.
There's no ethics.
In the vaccine industry whatsoever.
You should understand that by now.
But they say, no, that'd be unethical to actually expose somebody to something and then see if this thing works.
There were a lot of people who were demanding that.
So we'd like to see that happen.
We'll volunteer.
We're healthy.
We'll volunteer to be exposed.
Give us a shot and then expose us to COVID.
Well, they didn't have anything, right?
The shot was the disease.
But they played the idea that, oh, well, no, it's...
That would be unethical to expose you to this.
It would be unethical to actually do the science, so we're not going to do it.
But again, going back to this, they continue to put this stuff out there, and when they did their groups, and they did a short-term experiment to say the people get sick right away, Well, the control group was getting a meninitis vaccine, which is going to have all these adjuvants and all the rest of this stuff in it and contaminants in it.
And so, yeah, they had people getting sick on both sides.
And they say, well, it's not our vaccine.
Thank you for joining us.
Hello, it's me, Volodymyr Zelensky.
I'm so tired of wearing these same t-shirts everywhere for years.
You'd think with all the billions I've skimmed off America, I could dress better.
And I could, if only David Knight would send me one of his beautiful grey MacGuffin hoodies or a new black t-shirt with the MacGuffin logo in blue.
But he told me to get lost.
Maybe one of you American suckers can buy me some at thedavidknightshow.com You should be able to buy me several hundred those amazing sand-colored microphone hoodies are so beautiful.
I'd wear something other than green military cosplay to my various galas and social events.
