	It's Thursday, the 10th of April, Year of Our Lord 2025.
	I have my head in this other stuff here.
	But we're going to be taking a look at the wind.
	Shifting and the weather vane on the top of the White House turning in a different direction.
	The on again, off again.
	It's the chaos, stupid.
	It's the chaos that is affecting the economy.
	And of course, as soon as Trump flips in a different direction, all of his supporters immediately flip as well.
	It's so easy, isn't it?
	We're going to take a look at that.
	We have other issues as well.
	We've seen a flip for the good with RFK Jr.
	Even though he's doing everything he can publicly to support the MMR shot and measles, he then gives a short statement of truth about what is really happening there.
	So we're going to take a look at that, as well as the massive persecution that is happening in Armenia.
	And we're going to take a look at that as well.
	And what is the basis for that?
	We'll be right back.
	Stay with us.
	Okay, well, Goldman yesterday called a U.S. recession at 12.57 p.m. Eastern Time.
	73 minutes later, they rescinded it.
	And so you've got...
	Zero heads, you've got Breitbart saying, look at this, it's genius, look at what Trump did.
	And these foolish people in the media, was it really foolish to call a recession?
	Trump himself was saying that it was going to be permanent.
	I guess the only thing foolish is to take him at his word.
	His word can't be trusted, right?
	And neither can his policies, which were disastrous.
	And his hand was forced.
	This is not a plan.
	The scary thing is that you can see in all of this that there was no plan.
	We predicted that it would be ever so slightly awkward when all the banks who made a recession, their base case this week, made an unrecession, their base case, in one month, said Zero Hedge.
	See, we told you.
	It's going to be temporary and all the rest of this stuff.
	Well, who knows what he's going to do.
	What we have to do is we have to not pay any attention really to what he's saying in terms of what he's predicting he's going to do.
	What he says he's going to do doesn't matter because you never know what he's going to do.
	He doesn't know what he's going to do.
	And so you have to look at what he is currently doing and you have to comment on that.
	And he was currently pushing us into a recession.
	And then immediately, maybe Zero Hedge should think about the fact That as soon as his policies were reversed, everything got really good really quick.
	So, maybe the policies were bad.
	Yeah. No, it was 3D chess.
	The pinnacle of Wall Street flip-flopping, says Zero Hedge.
	Wait a minute.
	Who flip-flopped?
	Who started this?
	Who stopped it?
	Who changed over and over and over again?
	Oh, it was Wall Street that was doing this, was it?
	Was it Wall Street that was doing this?
	There was one man, and this is the reason why the founders wisely didn't give this power to him, and there's now even some Republicans saying, you know, we need to adjust this claim of emergency to set tariffs, yet you need to get rid of all of this national security state,
	all of this government by emergency nonsense that is there.
	All a president has to do is pretend that there's an emergency.
	He pretended there was an emergency about fentanyl coming across the border from Canada.
	And even though fentanyl is coming from China, he didn't think it was an emergency.
	He was going to get rid of the tariffs that were punitive for that.
	He was going to get rid of those tariffs if they would just sell his friends TikTok.
	He doesn't believe there's an emergency.
	He's using this.
	Why is everybody going along with this?
	And, of course, it was the same type of thing that was done with COVID, with the lockdowns.
	You know, who started this?
	Who declared the emergency when there was an emergency?
	And so the Goldman chief economist published a note.
	The title of it was, President Trump announces a 90-day pause reversing our previous non-recession baseline.
	Because the prediction about a recession was what he was currently doing.
	What is it about that?
	Why does Zero Hedge feel like they need to cheer Trump over the heinous policies, missteps, chaos that he did?
	This is even beyond...
	By the way, the guy that I interviewed last week had a debate on Zero Hedge with Peter Schiff about tariffs and free trade.
	This isn't even about tariffs or free trade.
	This is about vacillation and deliberately engineered chaos.
	That's what it's about.
	You can talk about the different ways that we could do taxes, and I've said in the past, I prefer tariffs over income taxes for many reasons, privacy especially, and the hassle of paperwork and everything else.
	I don't like taxes of any sort.
	They're evil.
	It ought to be minimized.
	Government is evil.
	It ought to be minimized as well.
	But you can argue about, well, assuming that we're going to have some form of taxation, what should it be?
	But the question has always been, we don't want to make sure that we don't end up with All of the above.
	We don't want whatever these other alternative forms of taxation are in addition to the income tax.
	And that is something they're still lying to you about.
	Trump never said he was going to take it off.
	He said, you know, there's a time we didn't have an income tax.
	We just had tariffs.
	That was a good time.
	Oh, he's going to get rid of the income tax.
	No, he's not.
	They keep telling them over and over again.
	I want to make these tax cuts permanent.
	Do you understand what that means?
	Is that too much of a mental gymnastic for you to understand that when he's going to make the tax cuts permanent, the tax is going to be permanent?
	This is just beyond belief.
	So, anyway, there's the Trump sucker proxies that are doing their thing.
	The Trump tariffs pushed us into recession, and then when he removed the tariffs, the recession removed.
	But the tariffs were good.
	Stop worrying and love the bombs that he throws at us, right?
	Embrace the recession.
	Or then tell everybody that, oh, it's good that we're out of a recession, right?
	That's what the Trump media was doing.
	Oh, it's a recession, but it's going to be good for us.
	Take your medicine.
	Get your shot.
	Got to get the shot.
	This is really going around.
	These tariffs, really going around.
	Got to get the shot.
	And then, as soon as this evil is removed...
	It's just amazing.
	It's like they can blame the vaccine but not the father of the vaccine.
	Trump limits the tariffs on most nations for 90 days, but he raises the taxes on the Chinese imports.
	So to show that he's a strong man, to show that you don't cross him, when the bond market, and we're going to talk about that, when the bond market forced him to abandon these tariffs, it wasn't his plan at all.
	It wasn't the art of the deal.
	It might have been the art of the steel.
	There might have been insider trading in this kind of stuff.
	This is what happens when they manipulate markets.
	Why is it a good thing when Trump manipulates the markets?
	And we say it's a bad thing when the Federal Reserve manipulates the markets.
	Why is that?
	I think it's a bad thing when Powell can, you know, everybody follows him around in Aspen.
	What's he going to say?
	You know, is he leaning this way or that way?
	Let's read the tea leaves.
	Let's look at what He says what Alan Greenspan says.
	Oh, Alan Greenspan said irrational exuberance.
	Well, that means that he's probably going to cut the interest rates and then it's going to do this and that.
	Everybody is hanging on every word of Alan Greenspan or Powell or whatever because of the concentration of power in one man.
	Is that a good design?
	That's not the design of the Constitution.
	That's not the design of our government.
	And so it is...
	It creates this volatility, this capriciousness, this corruption, frankly, that is there.
	It's awful if the Federal Reserve does it, but for the conservatives now, it's a masterpiece if Trump does it.
	Isn't that great?
	Look at what he's doing to manipulate the markets.
	Wow. And in all of this announcement, as he's saying, well, I'm going to put it on a pause for 90 days, what he does is that, except for China, Yeah, they were disrespectful to me, so I'm going to punish them.
	He's like Il Duce.
	Every time I look at Trump during a speech, I see Mussolini there.
	Not Hitler, Mussolini.
	You know, he's treading him proud, and he's got his lips pushed out, you know?
	It's crazy!
	It's a cartoon show!
	It really is.
	So, as soon as he removes the...
	...failed horrific policies that were, you know, based on this.
	Tariff rate equals trade deficit divided by imports.
	But we know the trade deficit is simply cheating.
	So, let's rephrase that, okay?
	It is the tariff rate that we attribute to another country is going to be cheating divided by what they buy from us.
	There you go.
	That's the formula.
	Coming from Ron Vera or whatever the...
	The anagram of Navarro was...
	I actually read a funny little factoid about Mussolini the other day.
	Apparently, when people would criticize him and call him out, instead of responding to that, he would just challenge them to a duel with a sword.
	We should have some AI of Trump doing that.
	With a sword.
	I don't think Trump has the courage or the honor to actually challenge anyone with a sword.
	Maybe they could have an eating contest at McDonald's.
	How about that?
	How many Big Macs can you down?
	Okay, well, let's look at what happened to the market.
	The S&P 500 stock index jumped 9.5% after the announcement.
	It's almost back to where it was before he started this charade.
	This game of musical chairs and tariffs.
	In the meantime, the countries that are during the pause, he's still going to tariff everybody at 10%.
	Even the people with whom we had a trade surplus.
	Pure genius, isn't that?
	Pure genius.
	Yeah, so the Dow is up nearly 7%, but it's still down about 3% for the week.
	It's where it closed yesterday.
	I guess it's opening right about now.
	I don't know what the markets are.
	Anyway, S&P 500 was up 9.5% yesterday.
	Again, like I said, almost back.
	NASDAQ up 12%.
	Still almost back to where it was.
	Rumble, a North American house, says Dow futures are down 700 so far this morning.
	NASDAQ futures are down 500.
	Totally winning.
	When you look at this, Everybody, it's the volatility, the uncertainty, and the rest of this stuff.
	I remember when Rush Limbaugh first started out, before he became a total sellout for the GOP, and he was ridiculing George H.W. Bush at the time, because George H.W. Bush,
	everybody thought he was going to raise taxes, because he had complained about Reagan's supply-side economics.
	He called it voodoo economics.
	So everybody was like, you're going to raise taxes, aren't you?
	Nope, I'm not going to raise taxes.
	They're going to tell me to raise taxes?
	I'm going to say no.
	Read my lips.
	No new taxes, right?
	And then he becomes president and he gives us what was at that point in time the biggest tax increase we'd had.
	And he was out jogging and the reporters asked him and he said, read my hips.
	And he walked and he ran off, right?
	And Rush Limbaugh was holding his feet to the fire.
	And he even had like a little radio skit where George H.W. Bush gets up in the morning and he runs up to the top of the White House and there's a weather vane up there to determine which way the wind's going to blow, that type of thing.
	Well, shortly after that, that was devastating to him.
	Shortly after that, he invited Rush Limbaugh to the White House.
	Rush went up there for the weekend.
	And when he came back, he said, well, he was quite a guy.
	So much respect for him.
	He met me.
	He carried my bags in.
	Let me sleep in the Lincoln bedroom.
	Never criticized him again.
	Never criticized.
	It's like they did a brain transplant while he's in the Lincoln bedroom or something, you know?
	But it was a spine transplant.
	That's why they gave him this rubbery GOP spine after that.
	But he was criticizing George H.W. Bush for this flip-flopping.
	I don't know.
	He probably wouldn't criticize Trump again because he became a party operative.
	But you look at this, and how many times has Trump changed on these policies?
	This is the chaos.
	The chaos isn't even about the tariff rates.
	Bad or not bad, right?
	It's not about tariffs versus income tax.
	It's not even about the tariff rates.
	It's about the constant change.
	That's what people can't handle.
	The constant change.
	It's just causing people to shut down and say, all right, let's just shut down and wait.
	You've got multiple auto manufacturers saying, let's just shut down and wait.
	See what's going to happen.
	We don't know what's going to happen.
	So NASDAQ was up 12%, but still down 3% from what had happened, and that's before this morning here.
	On Rumble, Guard Goldsmith, Liberty Conspiracy.
	Good to see you, Guard.
	So I actually heard this Boston radio host today say that Rand Paul was a Judas for mentioning that tariff imposition is a power reserved to Congress.
	And that's a conservative.
	Oh, man.
	Yeah. Wow.
	Well, he did Judas Godus on the vaccines, didn't he?
	And on that other lockdown.
	But Rand Paul is absolutely right about this.
	And there's other people in the House.
	They're saying, you know, we need to rethink this.
	Abdication of power to the president during an emergency.
	It's too easy for a president to declare the emergency and do whatever he wishes.
	We'll talk to that.
	We'll get to that in a minute.
	So, as this report, this is from the AP, Associated Propaganda, but they happen to be right about this.
	They said the global economy appeared to be an open rebellion against Trump's tariffs as they took effect early Wednesday.
	So remember, they take effect early Wednesday.
	Like, you know, 1 or 2 o'clock in the afternoon?
	He ends it.
	Trump later told reporters that he pulled back on many global tariffs, but not on China.
	They disrespected me.
	Not on China.
	Because people were yippy and afraid due to the stock market declines.
	Hmm. Would that be because your policies were bad?
	The president said that he had been monitoring the bond market.
	That people were getting a little queasy, quote-unquote.
	That bond prices had fallen, interest rates had increased in a vote of no confidence by investors in Trump's previous tariff plans.
	The bond market is very tricky, and I was watching it, but if you look at it now, it's beautiful.
	Here he is.
	I know that you are tight-knit.
	Sorry, that's the wrong one.
	Believe me.
	Was it the bond markets that persuaded you to reverse course?
	No, I was watching the bond market.
	The bond market is very tricky.
	I was watching it, but if you look at it now, it's beautiful.
	The bond market right now is beautiful.
	But, yeah, I saw last night where people were getting a little queasy.
	I think everything had...
	Well, the big move wasn't what I did today.
	The big move was what I did on Liberation Day.
	We had Liberation Day in America.
	You didn't do anything!
	He made the announcement.
	Then he pulled back on it.
	Right. Yeah, well,
	that's why White House aides had been insisting for weeks the tariffs are not a part of the negotiation.
	Trump said, well, a lot of times it's not a negotiation until it is.
	Flip-flopping liar about everything.
	You can't trust anything.
	How many times...
	Does he have to do rug pulls and reversals until people just don't pay any attention to what he has to say?
	You know, he can only play that game for so long.
	Is that the plan?
	What is the plan after nothing that he says has any credibility with anybody?
	And again, people were reacting not on what he said, but what he did with this stuff.
	So, the 10% tariff is going to remain for almost all nations.
	For the European Union, it'll be 24% on imports from Japan, 25% on products from South Korea, who has zero tariffs on us.
	Still, 10% represents an increase in the tariffs previously charged by the U.S. Canada and Mexico would continue to be tariffed by as much as 25% due to their fentanyl importation.
	Yeah, it's too bad that Canada and Mexico don't have some kind of a garbage social media site that they can offer to one of Trump's buddies and they could escape the tariff like China did on that.
	But now the Chinese things are going back and forth.
	We'll talk about that.
	Scott Bessett, Soros' man, said that the negotiations with individual countries would be bespoke.
	Bespoke, wow.
	Like his clothes, I guess.
	Tailor-made for them.
	I guess our nation is benighted as well, which means it's in the dark.
	Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick later seemed to contradict the president's account by saying it was definitively not the markets that caused Trump to pause the tariffs.
	Saying the requests by other nations to negotiate prompted the decision.
	No, it was the bonds.
	It was the bonds.
	Trump even said it was the bonds.
	And even on Fox News, they said...
	It was the bonds.
	Listen to how they play with this.
	I know that you are tight-knit in the trading community.
	You talk to a lot of people.
	I know you were overnight as well when it comes to the treasury market.
	And while we all want the American stock market to thrive and we want retirement accounts to go up, there are a lot of players in this market who may have gotten caught the wrong way here.
	I mean, because you have to think, there was a lot of people who were trying to sell this market short.
	A lot of people lost money.
	And it may only get worse until it gets better.
	A lot of people made a lot of money.
	Because of the mixed messaging.
	How can you doubt them?
	I mean, let's be clear what happened.
	You know, who capitulated here and why?
	And, you know, I don't want to say this because I'm a patriot.
	I'm an American.
	But it is the White House who capitulated based on...
	You'd be unpatriotic if you criticized Trump.
	And the reason why is because of the bond market and what happened last night.
	You know...
	Besant knows this better than anybody.
	When you have yields on the 10-year rising to 5%, stuff starts shutting down when you have the lending markets screwed up.
	By the way, who was dumping the bonds?
	Somebody asked him if it was China, right?
	It wasn't.
	It was Japan.
	While he was negotiating with Japan, Japan, according to my sources, were running major money management firms.
	That are involved in the bond market without giving up names, Japan was dumping bonds because they believed this was not a great place to do business.
	That forced their hands.
	Now, what you can say, I think, legitimately here...
	Trump decided to take the win, and here's why.
	There was overwhelmingly deal potential here among the entire world, except for maybe China.
	Everybody really wanted something, so he did take the win, but make no mistake about it.
	Peter Navarro was talking, as of yesterday, about not taking the win, and now they did, and it's all because of the bond market.
	Yeah, doesn't this have kind of the hallmark of, I'm going to lock you down and everything, but hey.
	Don't worry.
	I've got a solution for you.
	I've got a vaccine.
	I'm going to make it all better.
	I've created a problem here.
	And now I've got the solution for it.
	Oh, he took the win, did he?
	And so they go back and forth about, oh, now the rest of the program, they're talking about how winning this whole thing was.
	But I thought that was interesting.
	He actually told the truth.
	He had to apologize for criticizing Trump on Fox News.
	Because, you know, he doesn't want to be unpatriotic.
	And it would be treasonous.
	To criticize Trump.
	By the way, Trump had an executive signing order where he is going after a former staffer who criticized him.
	He calls it treasonous, and he's got the Department of Justice going on a fishing expedition against this guy.
	Look, Trump ought to be impeached for that.
	It's just that simple.
	I mean, what?
	Arrogant! Arrogant.
	Vendetta, that is.
	Like if he said something that was untrue about you, you can sue him for libel.
	Trump's done that many, many times.
	But now that he's president, he's going to have the Department of Justice investigate his political enemies.
	Does that sound familiar?
	Does that sound like Biden?
	Are they kind of doing this tag-team thing on lawfare and political persecution of their enemies like they did on COVID and that nonsense?
	I think they are.
	So, the common sense businessman, as they call him, said, just when you think hope is lost and we are going into recession.
	That's what they were saying later on.
	They said, oh yeah, I thought we were going into recession.
	Well, that's Fox News.
	As the crisis has unfolded over the last few days, even Fox News has struggled to carry on as if things were business as usual.
	Yet, the anchors had been doing their best version of trying to play a string quartet as the Titanic sank.
	Because they want to get near to their God.
	Near my God to thee, right?
	Well, that's near my Trump to thee, because that's their God.
	Agricultural Secretary Brooke Rollins went on some of the Fox programs and tried to convince viewers in an interview that America's status as, quote, the world's greatest economic power, unquote, had ended roughly a century ago at the dawn of, she said, the progressive era.
	Only Trump's boldness would bring it back.
	Would bring back a golden age of unlimited prosperity.
	When Fox's team couldn't quite decide in the immediate aftermath was whether or not this had been the president's plan all along.
	And that's what this discussion was about.
	That was Charlie Gasparino, who apologized for being unpatriotic for criticizing Trump's vacillation.
	Flip-flopping.
	And he apologized to telling people the truth that it was actually the bond market.
	And it was actually Japan and not China that was creating havoc in the bond market.
	And they did it not because they were enemies of America or even enemies of Trump.
	They did it because they didn't trust America.
	Because he's proven himself to be untrustworthy.
	You can't trust what he has to say.
	You know, when you look at this, all these people are saying, this is the art of the deal.
	Okay, well, how many times...
	Oh, he had no intention of doing that.
	He was just lying to you to get what he wanted.
	And he's not lying to us.
	He's lying to the people you don't like, that type of thing.
	But how many times does he have to go into the world's leaders, tell them he's going to do one thing, and then do a rug pull on them?
	How many times does he do that before they stop falling for that?
	It's kind of like, we're going to fund our country from tariffs, and we're going to bring industry back.
	We're going to get one or the other, but you're not going to get both.
	If people come back, then you're not going to have the tariff revenue, and you can't fund your country, that type of thing.
	And so he thinks that he can keep playing his supporters, thinking he can keep playing this game.
	But it's not even about that.
	It's about the fact that it wasn't a Trump plan.
	Trump got smacked upside the head by reality.
	By the bond market.
	Everything was being sold.
	The stock market was being sold.
	The bond market was being sold.
	The dollar was being sold.
	Everything American was becoming toxic in just a few days.
	Nobody wanted any of it because none of it could be trusted.
	You think about gold.
	You think about things like Switzerland.
	People like stability.
	They like something that is solid, not something that is constantly changing.
	That's one of my biggest problems that I have with Bitcoin.
	It's too volatile.
	Too volatile.
	And so people want something that's going to be stable.
	They want to have some rules that aren't going to be constantly changing on them.
	How does the game work?
	Okay, we can deal with that.
	Whatever the rules are, people can adjust to it.
	But if you're constantly changing the rules...
	What happens if in a basketball game, you know, you get an infraction from the referee?
	Wait a minute, I didn't violate the rules.
	I just changed the rules.
	I just changed the rules, and the new rule is what you just violated.
	Well, you didn't even tell me what the new rule was.
	That's what we're up against here.
	So a fellow on Charlie Gasparino, Fox Business Senior Correspondent, to leave viewers with just a hint of reality.
	He said, I want to tell you that Donald Trump outsmarted the world.
	Trust me, I'm an American.
	I support my president.
	But that's not what really happened.
	At the risk of being unpatriotic, as he said.
	He said, overnight there was an implosion of the bond market.
	It was the Japanese, not the Chinese.
	He said, if the U.S. was unable to sell treasuries to people who only wanted to unload them, it was game over.
	Game over.
	See, that's one of the things that they're really worried about.
	When you look at stablecoin, that's one of the reasons why I'm sure they're going to do a stablecoin.
	Stablecoin is essentially buying U.S. treasuries, right?
	They back the crypto by the U.S. dollar by buying treasury bills.
	So it solves that problem.
	And that is really key.
	They've got to figure out some way to try to keep the U.S. dollar as a reserve currency.
	After Bretton Woods, they said, we'll back it by gold.
	After people realized they weren't backing it by gold, they said, all right, we'll set up an agreement with the petroleum-producing countries because, you know, energy is really the thing anyway.
	And they will, you know, they'll support it.
	And so all international trade We'll be in the dollar, the petrodollar.
	Now that that has fallen apart, because it's been weaponized by Biden and others, and that accord has now fallen, is coming unglued, as Saudi Arabia is not exclusively dealing in dollars anymore and other issues like that.
	So now they've got to have something else to keep the dollar as a reserve currency, because that's their superpower.
	That's what lets them spend a trillion dollars on military waste and empire.
	Every year.
	It's that US dollar.
	That's what allows them to bribe the state governments to lock you down.
	That's what allows them to bribe the state governments to put trainees in the girls' bathrooms or to bribe them and tell them to take them out of the girls' bathroom.
	So it allows them to bribe the governors to lock you down and to do all this nonsense and to bribe the hospitals and the corporations to either Fire their employees if they don't get injected.
	It's always the money.
	That money is their superpower for everything.
	Their military power, everything else.
	Everything domestically as well.
	So they have to keep that.
	And if people are getting to the point where they don't trust America anymore, even Japan doesn't trust us, and they don't want the bonds, that's what the stablecoin is for.
	Stablecoin is so they can have a buyer of those bonds.
	And the cherry on top is that a cryptocurrency like stablecoin allows them to surveil and to control the money that we spend here domestically.
	So it maintains their superpower of the reserve currency, essentially, and doing it by having somebody who's going to buy the bonds.
	You know, Saudis don't want to buy the bonds anymore.
	They don't want to trade as much as they used to.
	Trade exclusively in the dollar.
	So now we're going to have the stable coin to buy the bonds.
	And then he's going to have the added benefit of creating a police surveillance state.
	That's a deal, folks.
	And, oh, forgot to mention, all the money is going to be made by Trump and his pals with the stable coin.
	So Gasparino and another guest on there, Asman, clashed openly on air about what had happened.
	Gasparino insisted it was the White House who capitulated.
	Asman, meanwhile, tried to make the case that Trump had intentionally brought things to the edge before expertly pulling the brakes.
	You could look at it that way, said Gasparino, or you could look at it that the gun was at his head.
	And so, at the end of the interview, Mediaite says the Dow, like the Fox mood, was suddenly in positive territory.
	But not in positive territory from where it was a week ago.
	Still not there.
	And we dropped down this morning.
	Who knows what's going to happen?
	What he has given us, the only constant, is inconsistency.
	White House Press Secretary Caroline Lovett said that the walk back was part of Trump's negotiating strategy.
	Oh, so you lied to us as well all week?
	You were saying all week that it's going to be permanent.
	They're all saying it's going to be permanent.
	So they were all lying to us.
	It's okay!
	It's okay to lie to people.
	That's a part of the art of the deal.
	It's absolutely important that you lie to people to get what you want.
	Well, you know, if you pursue evil means to get to your end, you're not going to get to a good end either.
	You know, these people are like communists who tell us that the end justifies means.
	We can use any means that we want to get what we want.
	I can do anything.
	I can say anything to get what I want.
	Folks, that's just nothing but corruption.
	Lack of character.
	Lack of leadership.
	People like that, I don't care if they're conservatives or communists or if they're Republicans or Democrats.
	People like that are not fit to lead.
	The end does not justify the means.
	And you ought to reject people like Trump, like Caroline Leavitt, who lie to you to get what they want.
	She said, the media clearly failed to see what President Trump is doing here.
	He tried to say what the rest of the world would be following in line.
	Well, there you go.
	So, it was great.
	It was really great, wasn't it?
	So, they said, well, we've seen the opposite effect.
	Instead of moving closer to this, the entire world is calling for the U.S., not China, because they need our markets, she said.
	Well, the head of the World Trade Organization said that a trade war between U.S. and China is not a good thing, warranted potential fragmentation of global trade along geopolitical lines.
	Look, I don't care about free trade or globalism versus nationalism as much as I care about war.
	And I see this as, it was pretty clear that his favorite so-called economist, who probably couldn't get a passing grade in Economics 101, Peter Navarro.
	Peter Navarro and his expert that he made up, that he lied up to make up.
	He wrote a book.
	The China War and how to win it.
	And that's what got his what got Jared Kushner's attention and brought him in.
	They want a war with China.
	I've said this all along.
	I said in 2020, if Biden wins, it's going to be a war with Russia.
	If Trump wins, it's going to be a war with China.
	We may wind up with a war with both of them.
	Who knows?
	But Form a taxation debate.
	About tariffs versus income tax.
	It's about the vacillation.
	It's about the chaos.
	And it isn't about world trade and keep everything moving smoothly.
	That'd be nice if we had a president who cared about anything like that, who cared about supply chains.
	But he doesn't.
	He's just going to pull the chain and pull everything down and destroy it and then build it back better.
	Wait a minute.
	That was what the World Economic Forum was going to do.
	And that was evil when it was Klaus Schwab.
	But when Trump wants to pull everything down and build it back better, oh, it's good.
	It's good.
	We're not going to have an orderly, planned-out, peaceful transition or reform.
	No, no, no, no.
	We're going to pull everything down.
	We're going to destroy everything and then build what I want.
	This is the Klaus Schwab approach.
	And I believe that he's in league with them.
	Particularly worrisome was that the U.S. government debt had lost some of its luster with investors.
	Yeah, even Japan was dumping it.
	Who usually treat Treasury notes as a safe haven.
	When there is economic turbulence.
	But they didn't this time.
	They're going to gold.
	So, the head of the U.S. rate strategy at TD Securities said, before the announcement of pulling it all back, said that markets wanted to see a truce in trade disputes.
	He said markets more broadly, not just the treasury market, are looking for signs that a trade de-escalation is coming.
	Absent any de-escalation, it's going to be difficult for markets to stabilize.
	The lead analyst at Oxford Economics said that while Trump said that he changed course due to possible negotiations, he'd previously indicated that the tariffs would stay in place, and so did his press secretary.
	The whipsaw-like nature of Wednesday could be seen in the social media posts of Bill Ackman, a hedge fund billionaire and Trump supporter who probably made a lot of money yesterday.
	He said, our stock market is down, said Ackman.
	Bond yields are up.
	Dollar is declining.
	These are not markers of successful policy.
	This doesn't look good, says the billionaire supporter of Trump.
	And, of course, it is still down at the close yesterday, further down today.
	Ackman repeated his call, for listen to this, for a 90-day pause in the Post.
	Huh. Wow.
	Trump did exactly what Bill Ackman, the billionaire, wanted to do.
	When Trump embraced that idea several hours later, and a billionaire Ackman posted that Trump, quote, had brilliantly executed his plan, not Ackman's plan, but Trump's plan.
	It was Trump's plan all along.
	When he does what Ackman says a couple hours later.
	He said it was textbook art of the deal.
	Yeah. Let's take a look at this art of the deal.
	Somebody put this up.
	Kyle Pomerleau on X. He says, shows Trump, I'm adding tariffs.
	And he holds up the thing he just signed.
	And then over on the side, you've got the NPC with the MAGA cap on.
	Says, this will create jobs.
	And then he says, now I'm removing the tariffs.
	And the Magatard says, art of the deal.
	Then he says, I'm adding tariffs.
	And then the Magatard says, this will create jobs.
	He says, I'm removing tariffs, art of the deal.
	He says, do this ad infinitum to infinity and beyond, as Buzz would say.
	I've got a little meme here that reminds me of that.
	My job is done here.
	But you didn't do anything.
	What does it say down below that?
	Until next time.
	Oh, until next time.
	Yeah, there you go.
	Well, then, of course, we have the chat GPT tariff, which we all know what a genius move that was.
	Again, cheating divided by what you buy from us.
	That's your tariff rate.
	So you want your tariff rate to go down, you buy more stuff from us.
	And if you want it to go down, you do less cheating, as I define it.
	Well, there were other people who were talking about the art of the deal as well.
	Here's an NPC character in the center of this.
	And then we have this cycle.
	Trump, I make a stupid decision.
	Trump, something really bad happens.
	Trump, I convince my followers the problem is now magically solved.
	And then Trump reverses his stupid decision.
	Yeah, that's basically, that is the art of the deal.
	Defined for us.
	But we have other definitions of this.
	Jack Posobiet was quick to jump on this because he knew this would make him go viral if he got out ahead of this stuff and started calling it Art of the Deal.
	President Trump just taught the entire world the art of the deal.
	In fact, the art of the great deal.
	Jack, you shill.
	What did he tell you?
	What did he tell you this morning?
	He tweeted out.
	He put it up on Truth.
	Now would be a good time to buy.
	Now would be a good time to buy.
	Hmm. Well, there you go.
	What kind of a deal is he making?
	Is it the art of the steel?
	Is that deals that he made with people like Ackman and other people like that?
	Now would be a good time.
	Okay, I'm going to tell you guys when to buy into the market.
	It's when I tweet out, now would be a good time to buy.
	Because I'm going to pull this stuff back.
	I'm going to do a rug pull on everybody else.
	Is that what that's about?
	The power to unilaterally impose tariffs.
	That was what Rand Paul was talking about.
	He said, we don't want to be ruled by a dictator.
	At least Rand Paul doesn't want to be ruled by a dictator when it's not COVID.
	With COVID, it's okay.
	We can be ruled by dictators.
	Trump has exerted extraordinary influence over the flow of commerce.
	He's created political risk.
	He's pulled the market in different directions based on his remarks, based on social media posts.
	This is why I say, why is it good when he does this and it's bad when the Federal Reserve does it?
	This has always been the criticism, rightfully so, of the Federal Reserve.
	And why we ought to get rid of it.
	It shouldn't have that kind of power.
	And the chairman of the Federal Reserve should not have that kind of power.
	Just an offhand remark to burn markets down or to blow them up into a bubble.
	And yet that's exactly what Trump is doing.
	Oh, he wants to be chairman of the Fed?
	Oh, great.
	The Fed would be good if Trump were chairman of the Fed.
	No, it's a bad institution.
	And we don't want this type of thing being done, whether it's being done from the chair of the Federal Reserve or from the Oval Office of the presidency.
	We don't want that kind of whipsaw action.
	We don't want policy set by a single person like this.
	So, but it's good.
	It's good when that happens.
	And so, you know, Trump is bragging about the fact that the market is up.
	Yeah, that's up almost seven counts.
	2,500 counts, nobody's ever heard of it.
	Nobody's ever heard of it?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Are you making an announcement tonight?
	Yes, sir.
	Yes, sir.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Nobody's ever heard of anything like that?
	Yeah, nobody's ever heard of the nonsense that you pull to get it into a hole.
	And it didn't get out of the hole.
	Okay, it got up 7%.
	That wasn't out of the hole that you dug for it.
	You know, we look at stuff like what Jack Posobiec does.
	Jack was there on the border to support Trump when Trump was lying about fentanyl in Canada.
	And he goes to a small, quiet, peaceful, beautiful little Canadian town on the border and he goes, look at this.
	This border is wide open.
	Yeah, you know what it needs?
	It needs guards with guns and bulletproof vests and attack dogs patrolling that all the time.
	That's what it needs, doesn't it, Jack?
	Jack is of the same group that Steve Petrenic was.
	Again, the intelligence community is not monolithic.
	You've got the radical Ivy League leftists like John Brennan and James Clapper, people of that ilk, Michael Hayden.
	And their politics are very left-wing.
	The military intelligence, same type of thing, except their politics are right-wing.
	And so, you know, Steve Pachinik and Jack Posobiec came from that.
	And Alex Jones helped to put them in place.
	Nobody had ever heard of Jack Posobiec before he started going on Alex's show and pumping nonsense.
	Steve Pachinik was there talking about assassinating Obama.
	After the show, Alex is like, I can't have him back on again.
	He's going to get me in big trouble.
	He's talking about assassinating the president.
	And within a couple of weeks, he's back on again.
	Because they've got him.
	They've got Alex.
	And so when you look at this stuff, it's these right-wing military intelligence guys.
	They're every bit as dangerous as the left wing.
	Military intelligence people.
	And they will lie to you and sell any kind of nonsense, like Jack Posobiec trying to sell the fact that we need to militarize and we've got to put barbed wire fences through these small Canadian towns and stuff.
	It's just ludicrous in the extreme.
	And you know why he's doing all this stuff.
	People pass around and say, look, Jack Posobiec is explaining the art of the deal to us.
	Oh yeah, and Trump loves that as well.
	Well, Delta Airlines CEO Ed Bostian said the administration was being less strategic than during Trump's first term.
	The company had in January projected that it would have its best financial year in history.
	This is going to be great.
	Trump's going to stop this environmental nonsense and all the rest of this stuff.
	But then they scrapped it because of the economic uncertainty.
	They said trying to do it all at the same time has created chaos in terms of being able to make plans.
	Because you can't plan on any of this stuff.
	And again, he wants to do everything all at once and do it in big moves and give people no time to adjust anything.
	What he's doing to the economy is the kind of stuff that Biden was doing with the Green Agenda.
	No, you're going to have to shut down your power plants right now.
	You're going to have to change all the cars.
	We don't have an infrastructure to even charge the cars, even if we had the power plants to charge them.
	I don't care.
	You've got to do it right now.
	Trump is the same way with the tariffs.
	Do it now.
	I don't care if it works or not.
	I don't care if we've got the infrastructure here.
	Well, we're going to shut down all the stuff we're buying from other...
	But wait a minute, we don't have the factories here to make that stuff.
	I don't care.
	Shut it down right now.
	That type of thing.
	And then he pulls back when the bond market starts to collapse.
	Well, Soros' man, Besant, said the economy would be back to firing on all cylinders at a point in the not-too-distant future, he said.
	So, you mean you broke the engine?
	And we're going to have to swap out the head?
	I think we should swap out the head.
	But yeah, so you broke it.
	You admitted that you broke it.
	It'll be back soon.
	Don't worry about it.
	We broke it, but it'll come back.
	So Reason says, should the president have this kind of power?
	In the span of a week, Trump cratered the stock market and brought it much of the way back.
	And he did it all with little more than just public statements.
	Again, it's like the Fed.
	It's just like the Fed.
	This kind of arbitrary nonsense, ripping things around.
	And the ability to do whatever you want to, as long as you say it's in the interest of national security, we'll have a war.
	I say it's in the interest of national security.
	So I'm going to start the war.
	I don't have to ask Congress.
	I don't have to get their permission.
	I'll tell them, maybe, after I do it, what I'm doing.
	I don't need to get their permission to set tax rates.
	I need to get their permission to commandeer Ford and GM, like Navarro did the first time through.
	I'm going to say it's an emergency.
	And we can lock people down.
	We can say that we're going to override mortgage contracts and we lock people down.
	They can't pay their mortgage.
	Okay, I'm a good guy.
	Now you can't kick people out of their homes.
	Wait a minute.
	What happens to the guy, the small landlord who still has a mortgage or whatever?
	You're going to stop him from kicking out the person who won't or can't pay.
	But you're not protecting him.
	From the bank that still holds a note.
	And that was Trump.
	That was Trump who did that.
	It was Trump's CDC.
	He didn't have any problem with it.
	He thought it was great.
	And it was re-upped under Trump.
	And then re-upped under Biden because it's a tag team match, folks.
	They want to break everything, burn everything down, and impose their technocracy on us.
	That's the plan.
	Don't miss that.
	One person said, markets crave stability, and that's reason.
	You know, look, Markets are really kind of an abstraction, just like the trade deficit is.
	And we've got to stop thinking in terms of America versus China and everything.
	We need to start thinking in terms of individual good for people.
	Because when you start getting into these abstractions, it starts to work and starts to smell with a stench of public health or the stench of public education or the stench of public transportation.
	Whenever you say, I don't care what the individual wants.
	You want to drive a car?
	No, you're not going to be allowed to drive a car.
	You're going to be, we're going to make cars go away.
	We're going to destroy the roads.
	We're not going to repair them.
	Then we're going to actively destroy them.
	And then we're going to tax you to death to pay for some other subway system or monorail or something like that.
	So it's always the needs and the interests of the individual who make up the public that are thrown under the bus, trampled on for some purported collective good.
	This is what I said about public health.
	They don't care about your individual health.
	No, we've got to do all this because that's going to help the public.
	I've said, well, the public is made up of individuals.
	So if you're trampling on every individual's health, how is that good for the group?
	Number two, the merits of this action are lied about, and of course they ignore any negative side effects, just like they did with the Vax.
	And then only the masters are going to be getting the public benefit.
	And again, we're talking about public education.
	We're talking about public health.
	Who benefits from it?
	The bureaucrats, the teachers, the administrators.
	Not the students.
	It's not for the benefit of the students.
	Public health is not for the benefit of the patients or any individual that's out there.
	It's all about the people running the system.
	Because they are the public.
	They are the public.
	You are not the public.
	We need to understand what they mean when they say public this or that.
	What they're talking about is a centrally controlled command.
	Whether it's a command economy or a command health issues, it's about central control and command.
	It is not about the individual.
	Well, we're going to take a quick break and we will be right back.
	PIANO PLAYS
	Defending the American Dream.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Well, welcome back.
	I'm going to read some of the quotes here.
	On kick, the wellness warriors said so much evil, David.
	The entire vax industry is nothing more than a profit and money game.
	Yeah. And they don't care how many people they kill or cripple.
	It's truly amazing.
	And we're going to get to that in a moment here.
	On rumble, he kill us says...
	You're just a libtard.
	Eat your bugs and praise the golden god, because we're winning.
	Yeah, I've heard that many times.
	I bet you have, too, if HeKillUs is on social media.
	On Rumble, TNormanArtist said, David, your impression of Sissy Boy Bush is spot on.
	So funny.
	Well, that's actually not my impression of George H.W. Bush.
	That's my impression of Dana Carvey doing an impression of George H.W. Bush.
	I thought he was the one who really nailed it.
	On kick.
	Knights of the Storm.
	The big, beautiful build back better.
	Yeah, the BBBBB.
	I agree.
	Knights of the Storm.
	Again, take a look at their website.
	It's got where you can find their program and many others like it.
	Like guards as well.
	And there's guard right there on Rumble.
	Funny that Jack Posobiec talks up people voluntarily buying when a tariff punishes that.
	Exactly. Well, you know, Trump explains his 90-day tariff pause by saying people are getting yippy.
	I think what they were doing, I think they were saying what Bruce Willis said in Die Hard.
	I think he was saying yippee-ki-yay, so-and-so.
	I think that's what they were saying.
	Trillions of dollars evaporated from the market over the last several days, and the standard pour is 500.
	Flirted with bear market territory on Wednesday morning.
	Officially became a recession until Trump pulled it all off.
	And so then after that happened, we saw the Dow Jones go up just under 8%.
	The S&P 500, 9.5%.
	Tesla went up 22.7%.
	Amazon went up 12%.
	Yeah, the people around Trump seem like they're always winning.
	Always winning big bucks, as a matter of fact.
	So Trump's morning buy call netted huge returns for those who listened to him.
	At 9.37 a.m., Trump said in all uppercase, this is a great time to buy.
	Is this a prearranged signal?
	Did some of his billionaire supporters?
	I don't know.
	But if you had done that, you would have made a lot of money.
	One person Tweet out and said, Can you imagine the insider trading going on here?
	If you are inside the White House, and if you don't come out of this a bazillionaire, you are literally the dumbest person on the planet.
	Oh, that is especially true.
	It goes in with billionaires who I think are planning on coming out as trillionaires.
	Of all things, Adam Schiff, who is now a senator, that bug-eyed pencil man guy, Adam Schiff, Is calling for an insider trading investigation into Trump over terror of pause.
	But look, this is always a possibility.
	When I did the, it's a wonderful lie, talking about the creation of the Federal Reserve and the criticism about it, you know, and of course they snuck this thing through while everybody went on Christmas vacation.
	A lot of people went on Christmas vacation because they only need to have 60% of the people who show up.
	And there was a lot of talk had been, you know, People were talking about it and opposing it.
	People like Charles Lindbergh's father, who was a senator at the time, and he had an excellent quote about how the Federal Reserve could make the markets go up, make the markets go down.
	They could profit when the markets go up, and they could profit when the markets go down.
	Look, if you're going to run this economy like a dictator, you should be prepared to show your cards.
	You should be prepared to be audited.
	You should be prepared to be investigated for insider trading.
	Because it's just too easy to do it.
	This doesn't have anything to do with Adam Schiff.
	This has to do with an imperial presidency operating everything by fiat.
	You want to talk about a fiat currency?
	We've got a fiat president.
	Fiat just means this is my order.
	It is what I say it is.
	The fiat dollar is the dollar because of my authority and because I say that it is what it is.
	Not because of anything intrinsically valuable about it.
	There's nothing intrinsically valuable about Trump's economic policy.
	But it is Trump's economic policy.
	It is a fiat, a dictate from a dictator.
	So Schiff said family meme coins and all the rest of it are not beyond insider trading or enriching themselves.
	I hope to find out soon if that is the case.
	And, you know, you can just see that everybody's going to excuse us.
	They would never excuse this with Hunter Biden or with Joe Biden or whatever.
	They'll excuse it with Trump.
	Trump, for his own good, shouldn't be acting this way unilaterally, just dictating by fiat what these policies are going to be.
	Trump's tariff chaos.
	They're going to be the ones who are going to be harmed like this.
	Just as it was the small businesses who took it on the chin.
	It wasn't the big Wall Street companies.
	They were allowed to stay open.
	That was one of the things that bothered me so much.
	The day I got fired from Infowars, I was just furious about the constant excuses for Trump after he shut down and killed so many small businesses.
	My whole family was, my father, both my grandfathers, had small mom-and-pop type of businesses.
	We had had a mom-and-pop type of business.
	I grew up in that environment.
	I know what that is like.
	I know the sweat and the capital that you pour into these things.
	And nothing, well, I won't say nothing, I was a murderer of people that was coming up at that point in time.
	Because that was in December of 2020.
	But up to that point, it was the murder of businesses with the lockdowns and the supply chain stuff.
	Just disgusted me.
	We had had a situation, as a matter of fact, I've mentioned this before.
	We had a storm that came through when we had the video stores.
	We had six video stores.
	And a storm came through and took out power everywhere.
	Nobody had any power.
	It was the only time that we ever closed the stores.
	Because homes didn't have any power, so nobody was going to be able to rent a movie.
	Whenever we had a snowstorm, and occasionally, you know, in the Raleigh area, you know, you might have like once every other year you get a snowstorm and it can last for a few days or something like that.
	And we didn't close.
	I would, you know, we would call people and say, where do you live?
	We're going to open up and need you to work the shift.
	Well, I can't make it there.
	Where do you live?
	I'll come get you.
	And I drove around in the snow for days to...
	Take people back and forth to work because we're not going to close.
	And we're not going to take that as an excuse.
	We'll get you there.
	No problem.
	We'll work around that.
	But when the power went out, we had to close.
	And so one of the six stores got power back.
	And so we went down and we opened that one up.
	And Karen and I were operating it.
	And after we'd been open for about seven hours or so, and it was starting to get dark, and people had already stopped coming in.
	But we had the local police department come in and say, you've got to shut down.
	And I said, why is that?
	Oh, well, you're getting people to come to rent stuff from you.
	You're enticing people to come.
	I said, well, they can't even see where we are from the street.
	We're kind of inside the place.
	We don't have street visibility.
	But I said, across the street is Walmart.
	Everybody's going to Walmart.
	Well, that's Walmart.
	They can do that.
	You're not going to shut down Walmart?
	No, we're not going to shut down Walmart, but you've got to shut down.
	Well, we had already started packing things up at that point, so we left.
	But I remember that made me so incredibly mad.
	And as far as I was concerned, all of 2020 from March on was that, over and over and over again.
	The people that Trump was paying for this lockdown, they were doing that to people who had worked so hard.
	So, This guy who has a tattoo supply business near Philadelphia said, I don't know if we're going to make it past July.
	Almost all modern tattoo needles are made in China.
	So he buys large quantities and he resells them to artists and studios here.
	With Trump's successive rounds of tariffs on imports from China, which are still there, unless Trump changed them in the last five minutes or so, I guess.
	Who knows?
	He put it up to 125 in a fit of a temper tantrum.
	And now he's, he could take it off just as easily.
	But then we went up to 125%.
	So this guy's costs have more than doubled overnight, thanks to Trump.
	Just like everybody, shut your business down, thanks to Trump five years ago.
	The end result is that real small businesses, mom and pop shops, he said, we're the ones that get put under.
	Trump will always take care of his Wall Street buddies.
	Tesla's going to have a 23% stock increase, and Amazon's going to have a 12% increase.
	And he's going to work with them.
	He said, Amazon doesn't feel the hurt.
	Walmart doesn't feel it.
	We're the ones who feel it.
	And so, how is this played by other people in the Trump sucker proxy media?
	Well, this is the Gateway Puppets.
	President Trump reacts to the biggest market rally in five years as he turns the world against China in an epic tariff war.
	Oh, that's the victory we get out of it?
	We get a trade war with China, which could lead to a real war with China?
	Is that the benefit we get out of it?
	The havoc that is going to be played on the supply chains?
	Hey, Gateway Pundits, why don't you talk to this guy and other people with small businesses where this kind of whipsaw stuff is killing them?
	They can't plan on it.
	I mean, it's just amazing, just amazing to see how these people react to all of this.
	Well,
	Well, on Rumble, Matt Poole, thank you very much.
	I appreciate that.
	He says it's good to be prepared.
	Yes, it is good to be prepared, and there's a lot of things that we need to prepare for.
	Financial is one of them.
	Again, try to get out of the system that he manipulates.
	Yes, they manipulate gold.
	They manipulate everything.
	But it is the most out of the system and the most under your control that you can have if you get into gold.
	Tony's going to be joining us later in the show, but go to DavidKnight.gold.
	By the way, we're talking about prepping.
	Just want to remind you that jacklawsonbooks.com is now the website to get his civil defense manual.
	And as we look at all of the different chaos and the rest of the stuff that's out there, I mean, now is the...
	I'm seeing story after story in mainstream media on the Drudge Report about how everybody is prepping.
	Everybody sees this chaos and the destruction that both the Republicans and Democrats are trying to do to us.
	I mean, you talk about Klaus Schwab, but it's Republicans and Democrats are 100% on board with them, just like they were with the lockdown.
	And so everybody is seeing it.
	Every different social, economic demographic you can think of, or every kind of economic division that you can think of, everybody is looking at prepping.
	Well, you want to know how to do it the right way.
	And he's got some great tips about how you can do it gradually, step by step, you know, the same way that Tony has his Wise Wolf Pack, where you can sign up on a monthly basis and accumulate stuff.
	Jack talks about that, gives you some tips.
	He said, you know, start with these core things and gradually add them, and, you know, the sooner you start preparing, the better.
	And so, again, go to jacklawsonbooks.com.
	He's got them back in stock.
	He was out of stock for a while because of incompetence and DEI.
	So he's got this under his own control now.
	And he's got a new website there.
	So you can see Civil Defense Manual and other things that are there.
	Well, the Trump U-turn has halted for the moment the sell-everything American trade.
	Simultaneous sell-off of stocks, bonds, and the dollar was the clearest sign of serious distress yet.
	And it wasn't Trump's plan.
	He was, again, it was a gun held to his head.
	He had to do this.
	The Trump administration has insisted that it would not be deterred from tariffs by the stock market.
	Nevertheless, a simultaneous decline in equities, bonds, and currency may have done the trick.
	Still, Trump's sudden reversal doesn't mean all the damage will be quickly undone.
	And look, if you want to change the tax structure, you do it in an orderly plan, prepared.
	You make sure you give people enough time to make a change to this.
	It has nothing to do with tariffs versus income tax.
	It has nothing to do with trade deficits or open trade.
	It has everything to do with these sudden, impetuous, dictator-like moments that both he and Biden do for whatever goal it is.
	And both of them have said the same thing.
	Well, it's going to be painful, but it's worth it to get what we want.
	I'm not going to lie to you, but it's worth it because the end justifies the means.
	So, the...
	Again, the reaction as soon as he pulls off all this stuff.
	Amazon had already started canceling orders and raising prices and all the rest of this stuff.
	And Walmart had changed its directive just as Delta Airlines had changed its direction.
	The Trump administration is thinking about a farmer bailout after China's retaliatory tariffs threaten exports.
	You see, this damage is not going away.
	Everybody said, oh, look, he pulled all this stuff off.
	No, he escalated it for China.
	You remember when he did the tariffs last time?
	Who was hurt?
	Farmers were hurt.
	Smallest farmers.
	A lot of them went out of business, even with the little stimulus checks that Trump sent them to assuage the pain.
	But the damage was there.
	And a lot of them couldn't handle it, even with the STEMI check.
	The Trump administration is exploring options.
	You mean you didn't think that this would happen again since it happened the first time you did it?
	You didn't have a plan?
	You're going to react to it after the fact?
	And that's one of the things that makes it so damaging.
	You know you're going to shut down supply chains.
	You know that there's going to be punitive tariffs against farmers.
	And you weren't planning on doing anything about that, either?
	And maybe they won't.
	Who knows?
	Because they're now, quote, exploring options to shield American farmers from deepening fallout in its trade war with China.
	Including a possible revival of the bailout programs, which did not help a lot of the farmers anyway.
	Brooke Rollins, Agriculture Secretary, again.
	Looking at that again, she said, referencing a $28 billion aid package that was deployed during Trump's first term.
	The American farmers, folks, are not as important to the federal government as Zelensky and his grifters.
	They got more military aid than $28 billion, and they got more economic aid than $28 billion in Ukraine.
	They absolutely loathe us.
	We are their livestock.
	Obviously, everything is on the table, but we're in such a period of uncertainty, she said, in terms of what this looks like, that even she doesn't know.
	Because it's just one guy and what he wants to do.
	And I'm sure that, you know, George Soros is man on the scene.
	Howard Lutnick, the lucky guy who didn't go to work on 9-11, I'm sure that they corralled him and said, hey, look, this is what's happening.
	I got all these people on the phone.
	And nobody's buying anything, and the markets are going to crash.
	You got to do it now.
	So nobody knows what's going to happen.
	Nobody knows inside or outside the Trump administration.
	Farmers and ranchers remain a crucial electoral block for the president.
	But he doesn't care.
	He will betray his own people time and again.
	By the way, this happened.
	He did that at like 1 or 2 in the afternoon yesterday.
	In the morning at 6.48 a.m., this article went out on the financial press.
	Traders are hunting for the elusive market bottom as tariffs are crushing stocks.
	In other words, we don't know where the bottom is.
	He created a bottomless stock market.
	A panic.
	And again, it wasn't just stocks.
	It was bonds, it was currency, everything else.
	Nobody wanted anything.
	And so I said earlier that there were some people who were getting together to oppose the idea that any president, because remember, all the people who follow this MAGA nonsense, all the people who are listening to Jack the Soviet and the Gateway Puppets and all the rest of the stuff.
	Remember that you let this kind of power be had by Trump, well, you're going to have somebody like Biden or Lala Harris or Obama is going to exercise their power in ways that you don't like.
	See, this is why we need to have the rule of law.
	This is why we need to have the Constitution.
	Because there's going to be people there that are going to be very destructive very quickly in either direction.
	And we need to restrain them.
	At least 12 House Republicans.
	Consider signing an anti-Trump tariff bill.
	So, it is Representative Don Back's bill, and he is going to have a target on his back.
	That's for sure.
	And I think he put his Don back.
	I think it's Don.
	Bacon. I think they misspelled it at the top.
	Yeah, it is.
	In the first paragraph, they put his name in as Back.
	B-A-C-K.
	But everywhere else on this page, they refer to him in the picture and everything else as Don Bacon.
	So, Bacon is back.
	There you go.
	He has a bill which would restrict the White House's ability to unilaterally impose tariffs.
	And he better watch his back.
	Because he's a Republican and he's in Nebraska and Trump is going to be gunning for him.
	He's crafting a companion bill to the Trade Review Act introduced by Senator Chuck Grassley, a Republican, and Maria Cantwell, a Democrat, which would require the president to notify Congress of any new tariffs within 48 hours with the administration's reasoning as well as an analysis of their economic impact.
	Oh yeah, we thought this out and it is...
	Cheating divided by what somebody buys from us.
	Okay, that's going to be their analysis.
	Actually, can you show us your work, Peter Navarro?
	When I was in college in engineering, if we didn't show how we got the final answer and show all of our steps, we failed.
	You could just look over somebody's shoulder.
	And get a bogus answer or something.
	You had to show your work and your process.
	Well, they should have to show their work of how they came up with these tariff calculations.
	Show me the prompt that you used with ChatGPT.
	Because other people have reproduced this.
	And ChatGPT bragged about the fact, hey, I came up with this.
	Nobody's used this before.
	Look at this.
	This is great.
	It's like some sci-fi comedy, you know, where you've got the...
	The robot is saying, well, look what I came up with.
	This is great.
	Anyway, you'd have to show your work.
	You'd have to show that you've assessed the economic impacts of this.
	And then the bill would cause any tariffs to expire after 40 days.
	It'd have a sunset clause, right?
	So, you can put it on.
	It's going to expire after 40 days.
	You've got to put it on on an emergency basis?
	Okay, show us the basis of why you're going to do that.
	And even if you put it on with an emergency basis, and even if we agree, Congress is going to have to make this permanent or it's going to go away in 40 days.
	that would get us back to where we wanted.
	He could still have his emergency thing, but he would actually do some calculations with it, have some planning with it.
	So anyway, the...
	They said Congress, it also gave the Congress the ability to pass a resolution of disapproval, which would eliminate the tariffs within a 40-day period.
	According to Bacon, Jeff Hurd, a Republican in Colorado, and Dan Newhouse, a Republican from Washington, along with two Democrats, have signed on to the bill as co-sponsors.
	He said, I've got 10 others who want to do it, but they want to talk to the trade representative first.
	No, they want to talk to their campaign managers and say, how badly is Trump going to hit us for doing this?
	That's the calculations they're going to have.
	I mean, we talked to a guy.
	None of us wanted to run for governor, but we had to have somebody on the ballot trying to maintain ballot access.
	So we got ballot access, and we found a guy who was a real maverick, and he had pushed out Liston Ramsey, who was this Jabba the Hutt character, literally, really heavy.
	And he'd sit over in the corner, and people would line up to talk to him.
	He'd been Speaker of the House for a very long time in the state.
	Essentially kissing the ring.
	I mean, they would literally bow down to this guy.
	And one of the guys that I was working with had been a page in the North Carolina legislature, and he saw it.
	He was talking about that.
	He said, I just couldn't believe it when I saw that.
	But anyway, this guy had engineered him out and had worked with Republicans to get this job of the hut.
	out of his position so i thought this might be a guy we could work with you know he seemed to have some ambitions as well and so we went over to talk with him and of course you know he didn't care about principles at all all he was interested in and was how much money was in it and he had his he had his campaign manager
	who met with us as well so these guys are going to have to have their campaign managers with them and maybe what they'll need to do is somebody to look and say well are there is there any
	Any big money out there that could come around as a donor that could help us with our re-election campaigns?
	Because you know we're going to have an uphill fight if we oppose Trump on this stuff.
	That's what they're doing.
	Anyway, so it probably won't go anywhere.
	Bacon added that there is a prospect that he ends up Instead, introducing a discharge petition, a procedural maneuver that if signed by 218 members, can bypass leadership, that's Mike Johnson who will do his best to shut it down, and force a vote on any bill.
	Only then to have to face the Senate, and only then to get the promised veto from Trump.
	Because Trump doesn't want constitutional government.
	So, when we look at the back and forth with China, Just think about the timeline here.
	Okay, so Trump hit China with a 20% tariff, supposedly about fentanyl emergency, and yet he's willing to get rid of that if they let one of his friends buy TikTok.
	But nevertheless, he puts 20% on them.
	And as I said the other day, the average of Well,
	But most of them are in the 20 to 25% range.
	So Trump puts on a 20% thing saying, it's because you're fentanyl.
	That's fine.
	China didn't do anything about that.
	And I'm assuming that she looks at this.
	And he says, okay, so that's about what we're charging on average.
	And we've leveled up.
	I'm not going to do anything to retaliate to start a trade war because they basically leveled up.
	He can tell his people it's about fentanyl or whatever he wants to tell them.
	I don't care.
	He's a communist.
	He lies to his people all the time anyway about what everything is about.
	So I was like, I don't care.
	They've leveled up.
	Let's just leave it at that point.
	But then he comes out with the Navarro tariff rates.
	And that adds another 34% on top of it, taking it up to 54%.
	Okay, now, she looks at it and says, we're going to add 34%, which basically levels them up again.
	And so then Trump says, well, you take that off, or I'm going to add another 50%.
	And I'll do it by midnight yesterday.
	We did.
	And so he did.
	He took it up to 50%, which took it up another 50%, which took it up to 104%.
	At which point, China said, I see your 50%, and I'm going to raise you 50%.
	I'm going to match your 50%.
	This is a poker game going back and forth, isn't it?
	From a guy who had six casinos go bankrupt.
	He's got our money that he's playing with here.
	The guy who bankrupted six casinos.
	So China adds their 50%, and that gets them up to 84%.
	And so then yesterday, in a temper tantrum, as Trump says, all right, I'm putting everything on hold for 90 days except the Chinese stuff.
	You know, they had the audacity to challenge me, so I'm going to take it up to 125%, which really doesn't make any difference.
	You know, 104% versus 125%, who cares?
	It's just pride.
	It's just pride and hubris.
	And I'll show them who's boss.
	That type of thing.
	Well, I don't know what's going to happen on the Chinese side about that.
	So right now it's 125% from Trump and it's 84% from Xi.
	So we'll see if he adds another 41% or something.
	The situation has dangerously escalated.
	All the affected members.
	China expresses grave concern and firm opposition to this reckless move, China said in a statement.
	And they said they will take resolute measures.
	Of course, they've already started playing the card of rare earth minerals, which isn't just against the United States.
	That is going to harm South Korea.
	It's going to harm Japan and other places that are using it for semiconductor manufacturing.
	Taiwan. They're going to be harmed by that in order to build pressure to get them to pressure the United States.
	That's the way that China is starting to play this.
	Asian and European shares slid on Wednesday, with Japan's Nikkei 225 closing 3.9% lower.
	The latest set of U.S. tariffs, including a massive 104% levy on Chinese imports, took effect.
	Now 125.
	Other countries are fighting back against Trump's tariff.
	Canada says it's implementing retaliatory tariffs of its own.
	Just after midnight on Wednesday, the country will put a 25% tariff on auto imports from the U.S., That do not comply with the USMCA.
	And so, again, that was what was put in by Trump in his first term.
	China says they have readied a trade war arsenal that takes aim at US companies.
	So, their strategy is not necessarily just to directly confront and tit for tat what Trump is doing.
	They're going to target Industries target rare earth minerals and things like that, which will get countries that are going to be hurt by this and companies that are going to be hurt by this to put pressure on the Trump administration.
	They're actually working on a strategy.
	Can you imagine that if we had a government that worked on strategies?
	Beijing has built an arsenal of tools to hit the U.S. where it hurts.
	They've added six U.S. companies, including defense and aerospace-related firms Shield AI and Sierra Nevada, to a trade blacklist, and they've imposed export controls on a dozen American companies, including American Photonics and Brink Drones and so forth.
	So we will see what happens.
	None of this is productive.
	In a war, everybody loses.
	Really? And who was it that fired the first shots in this war?
	Who was it that bombed Pearl Harbor in this war?
	Ah, it was Trump.
	Yeah, we preemptively start wars now.
	America does.
	On Rumble, Dustin Helm, thank you very much for the tip.
	And he thanks us.
	Thank you.
	On Kik, Camping on Earth gifted a sub to Angie661more.
	Thank you very much.
	Also on Kik, TheRealOctoSpook says, When the same criminals doing it all manage to close all other doors, they expect you to do through the one door it left open.
	They left open, yeah.
	Knights of the Storm on Kik say, bankrupting a casino is really hard work.
	It takes some 4D chest top planning.
	That's right.
	Just think, we can do six of them that way.
	Kik, the wellness warrior, says, yes, I asked ChatGPT about Trump.
	And there are six bankruptcies.
	Some people quibble over it.
	They say, well, he only declared bankruptcy five times, but there were six casinos and those five declared bankruptcies.
	On a kick, Knights of the Storm says, yeah, don't forget his divorces.
	Morally bankrupt adds at least one to that number.
	Yeah, that's definitely true.
	If he will...
	Take an oath to love, honor, obey until death do us part to his wife and walk away from that.
	What do you think he's going to do with his oath to the Constitution and his oath to you?
	We're going to take a quick break.
	We'll be right back.
	be right back.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Well, Tony's going to be joining us at the bottom of the hour.
	It'll be interesting to get his take on all this economic chaos.
	But I want to use, since we've got a little bit of time here, before I start getting into what's going on with RFK Jr., he's flip-flopping on the measles vaccine as well.
	And it turns out that Children's Health Defense has done an investigation into this so-called second measles death.
	And like the first measles death, it was a hospital that killed the child.
	It wasn't measles.
	It was the treatment from the hospitals that was the deciding factor in the child's death.
	Negligence, malpractice, and all the rest of this stuff.
	Very much what we saw throughout the lead-up to the vaccine plague that Trump is so proud of.
	But I got this email from listener Bob, and I'm so sorry to see this, Bob.
	He said, My brother and grandson dead.
	Now my other sister and cousin have cancer.
	They would not listen.
	Before you know it, half of my family will have been murdered.
	And there'll be more.
	And you know what they'll tell you, Bob?
	They'll tell you that it was rare.
	They'll tell you it was rare and they don't care.
	You know, this did not happen universally and we're seeing this difference here.
	Why? Well, because there was a big difference in dosage.
	It varied by factor of 33. Naomi Wolf did that investigation.
	One thing that they did track, and we talked about that as well, I remember it was in August of 2020 as they were preparing for this, and the CDC came up with a questionnaire that they wanted the vaccine providers to fill out.
	And so it was all of your personal information and then two other things.
	Of the vaccine, you know, the maker and the lot number down, which I thought was curious.
	And then the other thing which raised flags with me was the fact that they wanted, they had a checkbox that said refused.
	So I thought, oh, so this is something that they want all doctors to report to them if you didn't get it, right?
	And if you, so I said, well, what are they doing?
	And they laying the...
	Foundation to collect a database of refusers so they can come after us to forcefully vaccinate us?
	That was my concern when I saw that.
	And then if you get it, they want to track the lot number, which is kind of interesting since they had no liability.
	Why did they want to track the lot number?
	Well, it isn't because they want to fix this or they want to see what's going on with it, but this is the only test that happened.
	You were the test.
	You were the lab rats in all of this stuff.
	And one of the things that they do when they test drugs is they test the dosage level.
	And so what they were doing was they were looking at the dosage level and when they, Naomi Wolf went back and looked at the lots that they had and how that lined up with the people who died.
	Suddenly, you know, died right after the vaccine.
	And of course, if you didn't die, if you died before you had the second shot, it was like two weeks after the second shot, I think.
	So they had the shots 30 days apart.
	So it's like a month and a half.
	If you died before a month and a half, even if you had two shots and you died, you know, five weeks after the first shot, they would not count you as vaccinated.
	So it wouldn't go into the vaccine killed them.
	So they're playing that kind of a game.
	But even with that, she was able to go back and see that the deaths, early deaths, were attributed to a cluster of particular lots.
	And then they went back and they looked at those lots.
	And they found, as they looked at the concentration that was being varied in these different lots, that the concentration, the dosage amount, varied by a factor of 33. People who were getting the high concentration dose got 33 times as much as the people who got the low concentration dose.
	And they would play this kind of game to say, well, it didn't kill these other people, so it's obviously not the vaccine.
	It gave them plausible deniability that the vaccine had anything to do with it.
	It also gave them an insight into exactly how much they needed in order to kill us.
	And so you've got people who died shortly after the vaccine or right after the vaccine.
	You have people who died in the medium term, people who are dying in the long term.
	And we know that it is dosage dependent.
	They also noticed that people who got a booster shot, their risk doubled with every shot that they got.
	Every booster they got doubled the risk again.
	But they play those games.
	So they can come back and say it's rare.
	We don't care.
	That type of thing.
	This is from Noel.
	Thank you very much for sending us the picture set.
	Finally visited my mailbox and I picked up a lovely and weighty coin.
	That was the one that was put together by Ryan for Love of the Road.
	He says, I'm honored to have it.
	I've shared it with website with others.
	He said he also signed up on Kik and subscribed to the show there.
	So thank you so much for supporting us and thank you for that and thank you especially to Ryan.
	What a beautiful coin that was.
	We really like that.
	Sad to see them all sold out.
	Anthony, who matched us with funds last month and got us, well, the month before that, actually.
	I think it was, yeah.
	Last month it was Mary Ellen Moore who did it.
	The month before that it was Anthony.
	But he sent this to me.
	He said, I think you'll get a chuckle out of this.
	And this is a personnel company, Indeed.
	And they address it to their employees and call them Indeedians.
	One little Indeedian, two little Indeedians, ten little Indeedian boys and girls.
	Across our business, they said, we have always maintained an unwavering commitment to complying with all laws and registration choice, so we have to wind down our DEI program.
	And they spent a long time in this letter talking about how sad they are about it, but this is the thing that really stuck out to me.
	We continue to believe that talent is universal, but opportunity is not.
	Wait a minute.
	Talent is universal.
	So everybody's equally talented.
	And one person is just as good as the other.
	So we need to make sure that we do this DEI stuff and we're going to give opportunities to people because, you know, it's not about merit at all.
	Forget merit.
	Forget merit.
	And when we talk about talent, you know, it was Einstein who said, genius is, if I remember correctly the quote, genius is 99% perspiration, work, and 1% inspiration, talent.
	So this isn't a pretty smart comment, is it?
	But we know that DEI is incredibly stupid.
	Well, we're going to take a break because we have Tony on the line and I'm anxious to hear what Tony has to say.
	So we're going to take a quick break and we will be right back.
	be right back.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	All right, and we're back with Tony Arteman of Wise Wolf Gold.
	Tony has set up DavidKnight.Gold to take you there.
	And there you can get, well, I guess, Tony and I were talking about it.
	I guess gold is the asset that weathered this better than anything else.
	It started going down.
	Even gold was starting to go down before Trump took off the tariffs.
	But far less than anything else.
	It's been a crazy week, hasn't it, Tony?
	Absolutely, it has.
	I was looking at the charts and metrics this morning while you were leading up to our interview, and I went back to 2020, David, and I looked back at March 2020.
	You had that big market correction.
	It was the highest market since the 29 crash, and then lowest since the 29 crash, and then gold and silver went with that market.
	So when it dipped, I remember this vividly because I was getting orders, people trying to place orders when everything fell, and supply was pretty much non-existent because nobody was going to fill those orders.
	It crashed so hard.
	And I look back at that price, and you're talking around $1,500 an ounce.
	It dipped into, I believe, the $1,300 range temporarily and then came back up.
	But if you look at the timeline here, so that's March of 2020.
	And then so we, after that, you have the The scamdemic, the lockdowns, you have this 80% of all the dollars ever created in that time frame.
	You and I both know what was going on before that, which was massive liquidity creation in the last quarter of 2019.
	In the repo market.
	I had to look that up.
	It's like, what in the world is that?
	Are they taking people's cars?
	I remember that's the first interview you and I ever had back in the last quarter of 2019.
	And so you have that massive currency creation.
	Gold stays at about $1,500, $1,600 an ounce.
	But when we cross this certain threshold, and it was 2022, and that's when we put the sanctions on Russia after the invasion of Ukraine, and the ruble fell, then it rebounded.
	The Russian foreign minister said dollars are candy wrappers.
	The world started to de-dollarize.
	It was rapid.
	It was like a 10% reduction within about a 12-month space, about a year.
	And I started watching the metrics on gold, and any market correction, it stabilized.
	It didn't go with the market anymore.
	So this is something that is new.
	I think it's just an anomaly.
	I noticed something.
	Any other time that the markets have fell, what will happen is you might have a little correction in gold now, but not the big sell-offs that you used to see.
	And the reason is because...
	People are running towards physical gold and not just people, institutions, governments, multinationals.
	They're running towards that because of the uncertainty everywhere.
	And gold is showing itself to be the reserve currency of the world once again.
	It's just not official yet.
	Again, it's over $3,100 an ounce.
	And through this, you know, tariff chaos, it held up.
	It's really the only thing that did was gold.
	It held up.
	I would just disagree with that Russian comment that the dollar is just candy wrappers.
	I think it's not candy that's on the inside.
	I think it's feces.
	I think it's about to hit the fan.
	With a lot of help from Trump creating all this chaos.
	That's the key thing.
	As I said earlier, Tony, this isn't even about terrorists versus free trade or anything else.
	This is about the chaos.
	The chaos in and of itself is the thing.
	You can have any kind of policy that you want.
	You can have any kind of tax system that you want.
	But it needs to be done in an orderly way rather than just trying to break everything.
	And, of course, what we've seen is that there's no patience from Biden, no patience from Trump.
	They want to break everything and build it back better.
	And it is a deliberate tactic, a deliberate strategy.
	We see that when the World Economic Forum talks about it.
	We see it when Silicon Valley says you've got to move fast and break things.
	They are trying their hardest to break us.
	And the worst aspect of this is this flip-flopping chaos, which now we're being told was the plan.
	It was the art.
	Technocratic Cloward and Piven is what you're watching, in my opinion.
	There's no other explanation.
	There's no other explanation.
	I was saying off-air to you, we're not a serious nation.
	This isn't serious economic policy.
	The Magatards with the art of the deal, art of the deal.
	It's not the art of the deal.
	We don't look serious.
	We're not holding to anything.
	And then I talked about last week, you've got this supposed stick and no carrot.
	The carrot would be, oh, here's incentives, no tax, no corporate income tax, whatever it would be to make the economic conditions domestically attractive for you to move here and build here.
	Markets love certainty.
	We're not giving them any certainty.
	There's no certainty.
	That's why I think there's a phenomenon here that is interesting.
	And another point about gold, David, that it's weathered this storm, but it also did something that it's never done against fiat currency.
	And you know this better than anybody.
	Look at what Jerome Powell, raising interest rates faster than any rate in history.
	That was supposed to curb inflation, right?
	This transitory inflation, as he and Janet Yellick called it.
	But the problem is that when that happens, when interest rates are raised, gold usually falls because it's supposedly strengthened.
	That didn't happen either.
	So there's two metrics now that we're watching against gold that it's breaking its patterns of the past.
	And the past is usually when markets fall.
	Gold goes with it because of paper contracts and other things.
	It didn't happen this time, and it didn't fall when the Fed raises interest rates.
	So the key here is the monetary system is resetting itself.
	You talk about a great reset.
	This is resetting itself.
	know uh
	Beyond what I thought it would do, and I think in a much faster timeline.
	Well, you know, when the beginning of this chaos has went on for several days, gold was hanging high, you know.
	It was up near its record highs, and it was hanging in there.
	And it only started to move down the last couple of days, and a lot of people were saying it got caught in a liquidity trap.
	You know, you got a lot of people out there.
	Who are big investors and they have issues because the stocks are going down.
	They've got to cover the calls and things like that.
	And so they had to cash in stuff.
	Just like you were talking about, even as the central banks are buying gold, a lot of individuals have to cash in gold because they need the money.
	Because economically, the economy is not doing well.
	They're not doing well in things in their life, so they want to sell it.
	There might be some profit taking that's going on there, but in a lot of cases, it's a liquidity crash.
	You've got to get rid of it because you just got to have the money.
	And so I think that was a big part of why it started trending down towards the end.
	There's just that sinking market was pulling everything down.
	Yeah, and another thing that I think was happening too, and still gold held most of its strength through this, but the interesting thing to watch is I think there was a lot of big institutional liquidation of their gold holdings to buy the dip.
	Of everything else.
	True. You know, the Rothschild said, you buy when there's blood in the streets.
	So I think a lot of that, even just some of that, but it's still, even with that, even with the profit-taking, the liquidation to buy stocks when they're low in the dip, it still didn't bring the price down.
	It didn't follow the market.
	It didn't do what it has done for the past 50 years.
	I think that's a key takeaway here, that we are entering into a new economic world order.
	This is something completely different than, you know, this isn't Jim Cramer's world.
	It never was.
	But it's not, you know, the stock market and everything else built around that and the fiat system, that is being reset.
	And of course, as I've said before, I don't like volatility.
	One of the things I don't like about Bitcoin is how volatile it is.
	And gold was not only hanging in there tough, but it was also the least movement in all of them in terms of volatility.
	But now it's coming back as well as gold, silver, stocks, Bitcoin are all rallying now as Trump has reversed himself yet again on these disastrous policies.
	How many times do you think he can do this and get away with it?
	How many times can he cry wolf over tariff policies?
	He did that at the very beginning and then said, oh, well, never mind.
	And then put it on a delay and everything.
	How many times do you think he can do that and get away with it?
	I definitely think if you're China, you just don't take him seriously at this point.
	He's not proving himself to be serious.
	I'd be surprised if they even try to implement them at all.
	The other tariffs.
	I don't think any of that matters.
	I think we should look at some other metrics that don't get brought up.
	Mortgage-backed securities.
	You remember those?
	That's what brought down the entire market, the entire financial system in 2008.
	Mortgage-backed securities.
	$1.2 trillion in mortgage-backed securities are held by foreign nations.
	The largest foreign nation holder of those mortgage-backed securities in the United States?
	China. You talk about leverage.
	That's leverage over the very heartbeat of what this, the entire U.S. financial system, you know, the so-called American dream, that's the home, the home ownership, the mortgage system.
	It's built on that because that's currency creation, that's debt.
	We went away from a manufacturing economy and all the stuff that we left and we abandoned,
	That's why it led to the 08 crash.
	Was it Hank Paulson, the Treasury Secretary, begging Nancy Pelosi to give him the $750 billion or whatever it was to bail out the banks?
	That seems like a really quaint...
	Time now.
	That was a big deal to get that.
	Remember the times when you had to fight to get...
	Now they just ride it.
	It doesn't even matter.
	750, we don't care.
	They threw that kind of stuff in there in 2019 with the repo market and nobody even talked about it.
	I don't even care.
	6 trillion.
	Yeah. $6 trillion in that last quarter of 2019 is just absolutely insane.
	So not $750 billion, but $6 trillion.
	$6,000 billion, if you will.
	It's crazy that this all just seems to be accelerating very, very rapidly.
	And that's what it's designed to do.
	So it is interesting to see That, again, gold prices have surged now 3% after Trump temporarily suspended the tariff implementation.
	I don't know what it's done today.
	But, again, you know, that is, that's a big move for gold to make that.
	And, of course, gold has been doing a lot of, you know, it's been going up faster than it typically does, changes that typically does.
	But it's not even, for me, it's not even about the price of gold and fiat dollars.
	For me, it's about getting out of this crazy system that is going to be manipulated by the Fed or manipulated by the President.
	That's the other thing I said earlier in the show, Tony.
	Everybody hates the fact, and rightfully so, that the Federal Reserve Chair can just manipulate the economy with interest rates or whatever he's doing.
	So why is it a good thing for the MAGA people when, and they hate the Federal Reserve, right?
	They want the Federal Reserve, they want it audited, they want it taken out or whatever.
	But then they'll...
	Cheer Trump when he manipulates the tariff rates to manipulate the economy and does it single-handedly.
	I mean, how is that a good thing?
	Art of the deal.
	Yeah. Art of the steal is what it really is.
	It's not a deal.
	It's a steal.
	He's stealing this.
	He's lifting our wallets while he's patting us on the back and telling us he's our friend.
	And, of course, betraying the farmers, the people who were his big supporters.
	He betrays his base over and over again.
	He betrayed the farmers with the tariffs and ready to do it again, just like he betrayed his supporters on January the 6th and the stop to steal and save America stuff.
	I read The Art of the Deal.
	It was years ago.
	I was on a plane, and I...
	Between two airports, and I was going, I forget where I was traveling, I think I was doing a show, and I read The Art of the Deal.
	And there's a story in there, I just thought of it.
	He learned early on, he was dealing with the apartment buildings and sketchy tenants and landlords and other things, and he postured himself as being like a tough guy, or being kind of crazy or something,
	like just to...
	You know, throw the person off guard, you know, but it was all bluster.
	It was all bluff.
	Like, he learned that that was a major theme in how you act, you know, how you present yourself, and you've got to put out this persona, and it's kind of a bluff.
	This is what we're seeing with all the tariffs and the economic...
	There's no...
	I don't see any strategy here other than...
	First of all, I think if you zoom out...
	This is for something else.
	And that's what I've been thinking this whole time.
	It's not about the jobs creation.
	It's not even about the tariffs.
	It's not even about the revenue that you would bring in from the tariffs.
	At this point, the lowering of rates, like getting those rates back, because Jerome Powell raised them, and then we've somewhat stabilized the dollar.
	We're talking about a strong dollar.
	I mean, that's all temporary.
	It's all fiat currency stuff.
	But that is true.
	There's a metric there that shows dollar strength.
	Trump needs a weak dollar to fuel that casino stock market.
	It leverages cheaper goods and other things temporarily until you have the backlash, which is inflation and other things and loss of purchasing power.
	But there's a boon.
	There's a temporary boon.
	So if you line up the timeline, it would seem that if he can keep doing this, it will force the Federal Reserve, because of economic conditions, To lower rates.
	And to start lowering rates faster than they would have otherwise.
	And, you know, big picture, even zooming out further...
	And that's what a lot of these people have been saying.
	Oh, he's a genius.
	His real plan is to put the economy into a recession so they'll lower the rates.
	Oh, that's great.
	Right. It's like the commander in Vietnam.
	We had to destroy the village in order to save it.
	That's the kind of logic there.
	But I think there's a much deeper strategy on that part.
	If you're going to get the rates lowered, which is really bad in the long term because that's currency creation, and then again it continues to fuel that fake, the infrastructure of fake and all that, it creates bubbles and it crashes.
	We're at 125% debt to GDP.
	When you hit 130...
	No nations ever, no modern economy, the currency system, the financial system itself doesn't survive.
	And we're going to be surpassing that, even 130 very soon.
	So that's where you talk about the implementation of the central bank digital currency or whatever you want to call it now.
	Whatever that is, the centralized system, the reorganizing of the dollar digitally.
	That's how you would bring it in.
	There's got to be a pretext.
	For them to reset the financial system.
	So to me, this is all part of the Great Reset.
	It's just a different side of the coin.
	I agree.
	Thomas Massey was saying, he was voting against this bill that Trump and Johnson wanted to put through, and he says, no, we're going to wind up doubling the debt a decade, basically.
	And it's kind of game over.
	But going back to what you were saying about the art of the deal, I think it's kind of interesting that that guy who was the ghostwriter for it has gone on one program after the other talking about how much he regrets that.
	And I think he said, if I had it to do over again, he said, I'd like to rename the title of the book The Sociopath, I think is what he called it.
	Not Psychopath, I think Sociopath.
	And you're talking about the bluffing and the other things that were going on there.
	Remember when Trump Called up that radio station, and he pretended that he was somebody else in order to praise himself.
	That's basically, I thought about that, and I thought, yeah, that's basically what Peter Navarro did with his economist, Ron Vera.
	That he created with an anagram of his name.
	He created this to praise himself.
	I imagine when Trump saw that, he's like, yeah, that's my guy.
	We think alike.
	Trump had a guy.
	He had a persona called John Barron.
	That's funny because he named his son Barron.
	It was John Barron, and he would call in, and he would call magazines as his publicists and say, you know, this is who he's dating.
	He's really having a great time.
	It's interesting.
	And they have recordings of him.
	They have recordings of him.
	It's his voice, and the lady was, you know, different reporters.
	Like, they was calling to dish out on himself to make him seem some more important.
	That's really, really interesting.
	That's who's running...
	This country?
	Well, hey, they always knew who he was, and when Wilbur Ross went there for the Rothschild bankers, he said he had this entourage of people that were all around him.
	He goes, I think we can use this guy.
	Let's not foreclose on him.
	I think we can use him, and I think he is being used by a lot of these people to get exactly what they want.
	On Rumble, Soylent Goy says, you put your tariff foot in, you put your tariff foot out.
	You put your turban in and you shake it all about.
	You do the Trumpy Dumpy and you turn yourself around.
	That's what it's all about.
	It is a song and dance, isn't it?
	He is an entertainer.
	Are you not entertained, as they would say?
	It's absolutely crazy the way this whole thing is set up.
	But, yeah, there's going to be a lot more of this.
	It's going to be on the way.
	But, I mean...
	I thought about you last week as gold was popping up, and I thought, I bet you are really busy trying to work with this stuff, especially after it dipped.
	I thought, well, it's on sale.
	I said that to everybody.
	I said, get it now, it's on sale.
	Just like it was with the Trump stuff.
	When we hit that dip, the phones were ringing.
	We've been busy, and I'm thankful for it.
	There's a lot of people that do need to sell right now because times are tough.
	And because of the...
	There's always fallout from market uncertainty and the drying up of liquidity and other things.
	It really hurts people.
	It affects people on a basic human level.
	Yeah. So I understand that.
	Yeah, we've been doing okay.
	It's been busy.
	I'm just trying to stay...
	I think the main thing for me is...
	Staying ahead of the price restructuring is really tough right now.
	Just making sure that I can always cover the spread and staying as lean as I can because you get wiped out housing too much of that inventory because of these markets.
	That's not just my business.
	That's every business.
	It's really uncertain right now.
	The markets are showing you that.
	They're showing you the uncertainty.
	I would say too is Bitcoin.
	Bitcoin held up nicer than I thought.
	I mean, even with, you know, it's $81,000 today and I dipped into the mid-70s and then up into the 70s.
	I thought, you know, with everything that's gone on with the amount of correction, it didn't do what gold did.
	It's not gold.
	Not at all.
	But it didn't do...
	Some of the same type of corrections like you saw in 2020.
	How did it do compared to stuff like Ethereum and things like that, other cryptos, even the big ones like Ethereum?
	It did better.
	Yeah, Ethereum and other, there's nothing that's really held up like Bitcoin.
	I mean, they're all down.
	I mean, the entire crypto market, but Bitcoin...
	At least last time I checked, it's held better.
	Its metrics are a bit better than the other cryptos.
	Well, we've got some comments here on Rumble on KWD 68. Thomas Sowell and David Stockman have both opined on tariffs in the last week.
	I take what they say over Trump and his billionaire Zionist opinions.
	Yeah, and Thomas Sowell was talking about how it's the chaos, stupid, you know, to paraphrase.
	Clinton's a guy there.
	But it really is the chaos.
	It's the uncertainty.
	Angry Tiger says weak dollar causes the Cantillon effect.
	Good for...
	I guess that's right.
	Have you heard of that, Tony?
	The Cantillon effect?
	He defines it as good for the people on the top, bad for the people in the middle, and on the bottom.
	And certainly, when we look at this, that signal, all uppercase, now's a good time to buy the stocks.
	I mean...
	You know, if you're going to have dictatorial powers where you can move markets with the words that you've got out there, that is a real trap for Trump, whether he is intentionally doing insider trading or whether he's just shooting from the hip, as he always likes to do.
	Because it certainly does look like insider trading, doesn't it?
	There's so much entangling.
	I mean, you go back to just the meme coins.
	I thought that was very dangerous, especially given your influence as a public figure and an elected official.
	Anybody that knows anything about those kind of coins, you never put your name on that.
	It's a pump and dump.
	People are going to get burned by it.
	They're going to flood in at the top of the market.
	That's going to get sold off, and then you're going to be left holding the bag thinking there's a little bit more.
	And it was up to like $70-something dollars is now down to $9 at the end of the last week.
	If you ever hear me shilling a meme coin, it's...
	Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
	I'm not the same person.
	It's a clone of some kind.
	So we're not going to have a Tony coin that's out there?
	No, if you see Tony Coyne, don't buy it.
	It's not me.
	Well, I've been saying this last week, you know, when we look at Doge and everything, that's basically a red herring that's out there.
	It's calling it Wag the Doge, because it really is.
	Hey, look at this over here.
	Don't pay attention to what I'm doing over here in this area.
	And I think, well, of course, on other things, let's talk about what's going to happen to gold if we have a war with Iran, because that may break out this weekend.
	That'd be the next thing, all the juggling plates that he's got going.
	The next spectacle from Trump is probably going to be war with Iran this weekend.
	That's a great question.
	You're going to have, I think, price of energy is going to skyrocket, price of crude, uncertainty, oil supply, all of that, straight-to-whore moves.
	That all is affected by conflict.
	The price of gold, I believe, continues to rise at that point.
	Yeah, sorry.
	The price of gold continues to rise, I believe, in that scenario, David.
	I think that more of the markets will liquidate and go into gold because of uncertainty.
	Iran touches a lot of things.
	You know, the periphery of Iran is Russia and China.
	And the control of that, of the oil there.
	And there's so many underlying issues that affect that strike on Iran.
	And it could turn into something much, much wider, which is what I've been talking about.
	We might turn our attention away from Ukraine temporarily or take the emphasis off that.
	But that's maybe why Trump's here, because the right will accept, well, the so-called right, will accept that war.
	It's like Goldilocks war is what I called it.
	I mean, the right didn't like Ukraine.
	The left doesn't like war with Iraq.
	They're boasting.
	At the same time, they're enacting austerity programs for everybody and pushing the panic buttons.
	they're saying, well, we just did a trillion-dollar defense budget, right?
	It wasn't that long ago that he said, hey, I'm going to talk to Russia and China, see if they'll cut their defense budgets in half, so will we.
	And then he increases it by 12%.
	I mean, all this stuff is just nonsense.
	And no matter what he does, they cheer it.
	Oh, look, he's going to cut the defense budget by 50%.
	That's good.
	Oh, now he's going to increase it by 12%.
	That's good.
	We need to be strong.
	It's like, you know, okay, it's just whatever Trump does.
	Yeah, that's the key thing, I think, is that You know, it's going to have some effect financially, but like I said, I don't really...
	It's good to see things moving in this direction.
	It's good to see gold going up, but it's not really, for me, it's not about the price of gold and dollars.
	It's really about getting something that's outside of their system.
	It's really about prepping.
	When you start talking about a war with Iran and knock-on consequences of that, even if that war doesn't come to our shore, it's going to have tremendous economic consequences for us.
	And globally.
	You could put the world into a recession or even a depression because of the disruption in that area.
	But it could have much bigger consequences.
	And, of course, when we look at the size of Iran versus the size of Iraq, there's a reason that they've talked a long time about attacking Iran but haven't done it.
	But now he's massing all of these stealth bombers.
	And Diego, was it Diego Garcia that I was talking about?
	Well, I wouldn't either.
	It's going to be an absolute tragedy that we haven't downgraded and abandoned that failed policy in the Middle East.
	No, we like to double and triple down.
	It's just what we do.
	You get different lip service from either puppet that runs, but we always find our way back into the Middle East and broiling those conflicts that are absolutely unwinnable and have nothing to do with national security.
	We could buy oil from anybody.
	Whoever runs that, whether it's Saddam Hussein slant drilling into Kuwait, Or the Kuwaitis slant drilling into Iraq.
	Buy oil from whoever runs it.
	I don't care.
	I never thought...
	And by the way, the whole map was drawn up by Winston Churchill, you know, drinking scotch after the First World War.
	It's not even real.
	The maps are all artificial.
	The artificial constructs, especially things like Kuwait.
	Kind of paraphrase what he said to that woman.
	She said, you, sir, are drunk.
	He says, yes, but in the morning, I'll be sober, and you'll still be ugly or whatever.
	In the morning, I'll be sober, but we'll still have all these different countries in the maps that I've drawn.
	He just literally drew it up after the First World War.
	I remember being in Afghanistan, and they said, Arterburn, we're going to put you on a special detail, and you can go out to the tarmac.
	I said, okay, we've got a high-profile you're going to fly around with, and we're going to go to a different point, like special operations bases in Afghanistan.
	Anyway, I turned around, and it was Tommy Franks, the four-star general.
	And I never felt like safer when I was like, this plane isn't going to crash.
	So I just relaxed.
	And he was joking around with everybody.
	And I look out on the wing, there's an F-16 on each side just escorting this plane.
	And we would land at these remote bases and just like really near Iran.
	Like we would go in and it was all – I mean just – it was so close.
	And anyway, some of the border issues.
	And I remember looking at the meme.
	Look how close they put their country to our military bases.
	And that's true.
	This has been in the works for a very, very long time.
	It seems like if you even watch the movie that Oliver Stone did on George W. Bush with Dick Cheney's character, he goes and looks at the map and it's everything they're talking about, the seven countries in five years and all that, the neocon fever dream.
	It always ends with Iran.
	So that is there.
	And Iran is not in the region, whatever they call it, the leading state sponsor of terror or whatever that means.
	It's just ridiculous.
	like it hasn't invaded anybody
	I mean, just upending civilizations and toppling governments.
	How did Iran become an Islamic radical government?
	Operation Ajak.
	It was Shah, Mosaddegh.
	And you look at, you remember Netanyahu going to the UN with his Acme Wile E. Coyote bomb thing in the background.
	He just had the little thing, it was like, Yeah, I think Netanyahu needs to relearn what the word imminent means.
	I mean, I guess on a long enough timeline.
	He's telling me in 93 that it's imminent that Iran gets the bomb.
	Well, it's an 80-year-old technology at this point.
	I mean, it's an old technology.
	How do you stop nuclear proliferation at this point?
	It's an old technology, and I guess, yeah, it's...
	It's inevitable, but what does that mean for us?
	Nobody ever really asks that.
	So if Iran gets the bomb, so what?
	The lesson learned about all of this, and I guess I'm deviating into foreign policy, the lesson learned that we teach nations is that no nation that's ever possessed nuclear weapons has ever been invaded.
	So when you don't have a nuke, that's the race.
	Instead of setting the conditions for peace, We topple governments and nations that don't possess nuclear weapons.
	So the race is always to produce another horrible weapon to ensure, you know, mutually assured destruction.
	Well, everything the U.S. government does is about perverse incentives, isn't it, pretty much?
	Whether you're talking about domestic policy or economic policy, or you're talking about geopolitics.
	Politics, it's all perverse incentives.
	You're right, we incentivize people to do that.
	And when you look at the ridiculous claims that Netanyahu's been making over decades, it's kind of like the climate change predictions, right?
	Well, the world's going to end, you know, because of climate change.
	He's kind of like the, he is to Iran like Al Gore is to climate change.
	The major networks and because of the military-industrial complex and APAC and all of that, nobody ever asked the question, why is it a mortal threat?
	Why is it an existential crisis if Iran has any kind of weapon?
	What does that matter to us?
	What does that have to do with American security?
	It doesn't.
	So then you have to ask yourself, who does it threaten?
	Well, it threatens Israel.
	And that's where we're back to that.
	The insane times in which we live.
	You and I were talking before the election.
	What's the best outcome here?
	A Harris win, you get X. I think more draconian moves against crypto and other things.
	I think gold would have been probably higher today.
	A Harris win, we'd have a different market.
	But we'd be seeing probably a...
	You know, a lead-in to a conflict with Russia.
	It's exactly what you've been saying.
	And then this is the reverse ticket, but we might get war with everybody because we're hitting the dominoes fall very quickly.
	If you know anything about diplomacy and history, you read the Guns of August by Barbara Tuckman about the lead-up to World War I, and they literally couldn't stop the war.
	It's one of the things that Kennedy was reading during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
	He was reading Barbara Tuckman.
	He decided to try to stop the dominoes.
	He did that back-channel communique with Khrushchev to replace the missiles in Turkey with the missiles in Cuba.
	We just don't have that type of mindset now.
	It's terrifying.
	Who in the White House is going to stop the war?
	I don't know if they know what they're doing at this point.
	If they're going to be just pushing all these buttons, especially with the This should be an alarm bell in the night.
	This tariff policy, so-called Liberation Day, I mean, how do you announce something that's supposed to be remembered as one of the greatest days in American history and then delay it?
	That's right.
	Yeah. Oh, yeah.
	It's just absolute nonsense.
	You know, you talk about kicking off a war, starting it, and then, you know, now we can't stop it.
	We can't get it back.
	And, of course, we've seen that economically with inflation.
	How many times as the government causes the inflation when printing money and everything, how many times have they done that?
	And then they can't pull that thing back in.
	They push Humpty Dumpty off the wall.
	And then all the king's men can't figure out how to put them together again.
	And so we see this over and over again with the policies that they do, whether it's inflation or whether it's war, these other things.
	They create these problems.
	They break stuff.
	Government is very good at breaking things.
	It's very poor at fixing them afterwards.
	And so this whole thing, when I had a guy from Mises Institute earlier this week, and we talked about one of his books that he had for children was The Broken Window, talking about The Broken Window Fallacy.
	And when I look at all this cheering about Trump and the tariffs and all the rest of stuff, to me, that's basically just The Broken Window Fallacy.
	We're going to break all this stuff and it's going to be great because then we're going to build it back better.
	People should be very concerned about what is...
	What is being pushed.
	And I really do think that it is intentional chaos designed to break things and bust it.
	And they pull in one guy who takes one approach to it.
	They pull in another guy who takes a different approach.
	But the end game for both of them is to break everything.
	I think that's the bottom line.
	Well, tell us again.
	You've been really busy with the...
	We had gold go temporarily on sale this last couple of days and it's been a lot of economic activity.
	Tell us a little bit about Wise Wolf Gold, what's happening there?
	We're just continuing to supply our members at Wolfpack and all our direct sales and try to get orders out as fast as I can.
	That's always top priority.
	I guess the upside to watching the current leadership on the economy is that I redouble my efforts, rededicate my efforts for discipline and not being all over the place.
	Actually making good, sound fiscal decisions, cutting out waste, things like that, staying lean to weather market uncertainty, not getting over-leveraged.
	I'm learning.
	I guess at some level, this is good for me.
	This is a great lesson.
	This is not what not to do, so I'm going to not do what the...
	So-called leaders are doing right now.
	We're going to be around.
	God willing, I'll be here next year.
	Just taking good care of our customers.
	We've got lots of great deals over on Wolfpack.
	Started that Sigma Wolf program at $750.
	I know not everybody can afford $750 a month, but you can also do one-time purchases all the way across the board.
	Some $50 a month all the way up to $5,000.
	That's just on Wolfpack.
	I have Wise Wolf Bitcoin in place.
	We can take your orders on that if you want to I'm really proud of my crew.
	I don't know how you do it with all the fluctuations in price that we see and all that kind of stuff.
	I mean, I was just talking earlier about a guy who has a...
	Tattoo needle supply business and how difficult it's going to be for him with all of a sudden, boom, get hit with a 104% tariff.
	This kind, and that's such a challenging environment for people, whatever kind of business that they're in, because you never know what's going to happen to the supply chain.
	You never know what's going to happen to prices and constantly in this state of flux.
	I mean, that's what's so damaging about all this stuff is the chaos and the flux that Trump is doing.
	And that's why I say it's intentional.
	A lot of people I think he's intentionally trying to put us into a recession so he can get pressure on the Fed to lower the interest rates, and that's genius.
	It's like, no, it's not.
	It's criminal.
	It's criminal, but the end does not justify the means.
	Just because you want to lower interest rates does not justify you putting people out of business and harming people individually like this.
	And so, you know, my hat's off to you.
	I know you've got a very difficult thing to do to try, all small businesses do, try to stay in business with what is happening.
	And, of course, provides challenges for all of us.
	That's why I say I want to try to get out of this chaos market, you know.
	One of the things you can do to get away from chaos is gold.
	It's going to have an effect on gold, but not as much as most other assets that you could have out there, right?
	So part of it is to have some stability that's there.
	But again, it's very important to, regardless of what happens with these crazy and rigged financial markets, it's important to have gold there to get out of the system, to maintain your privacy, because the privacy is priceless.
	And I can tell you, as someone who has been canceled and financially banned, canceled on social media and stuff like that, to have PayPal and Venmo and others shut us down and say you can't do business, I know what that's like, and I know that's coming.
	That's their design for everybody.
	That's why I'm looking at gold.
	I don't really care.
	I do care about the price, but I don't care about the price compared to that.
	You can't put a price tag on that, being outside of their system where they can destroy you.
	Well, I would just add before we close, I think there is some upside to the price increasing.
	It increases the infrastructure of gold production, the ubiquity of coinage and other things and the access because it incentivizes the market to get those out there.
	And it helps us be outside of the system.
	It helps the supply chain for gold because the mining sector and other things.
	The decline of fiat currency worldwide and pouring into monetary metals like gold is a good thing and I think will serve to create that infrastructure that's outside of the financial system.
	You can hold physical metals.
	I think that's an upside here, too.
	That's right.
	Well, you've got a program that immediately follows ours.
	Is that on for today?
	That's on for today.
	You can go to my ex at Tony Arterburn or the America Unplugged channel over on Rumble and it's the Arterburn radio transmission.
	We'll have an interesting conversation based on today's headlines.
	Good. We need to get you on kick.
	Yeah, that'd be good.
	So I could just kind of hand it off there.
	Travis is telling me that you just kind of hand off one program to the other one if you're on kick.
	Okay. But that's great.
	Well, thank you so much, Tony.
	Thank you for your support of this program.
	And folks, look, just keep your options open and understand that the finances are always important, but it's also important to have some prepping to be outside of this rigged system.
	And they could be rigging it to go down, and that certainly is a possibility.
	Thank you so much, Tony.
	Thank you for joining us.
	Thank you, David.
	Have a good day, and people check out his Artaban Unplugged right after this show.
	we'll be right back.
	Here's a little song I wrote You might want to hear it in your pod You know nothing
	Here's a little song I wrote
	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 shit in the store because of your low social credit score.
	Oh, nothing.
	Be happy.
	You'll own nothing.
	And be happy.
	Be happy and eat some 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.
	Alright, and on a kick, Angry Tiger says the Dow Jones is down again already.
	A thousand points down.
	The whole market is down.
	Yeah, that's the thing.
	Just like we were talking about.
	You know, you start a war, you may not be able to stop it like you want to.
	And if you start inflation, you may not be able to stop that either.
	I've watched them strike, you know.
	I was an adult when all this stuff started happening with inflation in the 70s and they couldn't control it and other things like that.
	They want you to believe that they control everything and it's really just the man behind the curtain.
	I'm the Wizard of Oz.
	On Kik, Marlon Halverson has subscribed.
	Thank you very much.
	On Kik, Knights of the Storm has gifted a sub to Denver Attaway and the Real Octo Spook.
	Thank you, Knights of the Storm.
	I appreciate that.
	Good to have all you on there.
	Well, let's talk a little bit about what I was saying.
	Earlier about these allegations, claims that two children have died from measles.
	So get your MMR shot.
	And RFK Jr. is going there messaging along with the media saying, yeah, your best protection against this is going to be the MMR shot.
	It's great.
	It's safe.
	It's effective.
	And all the rest of the stuff.
	What is the matter with him?
	How he has sold out?
	And at the same time, we had Children's Health Defense double down on all this stuff and say, we're not changing and so forth.
	They said, look at the media.
	They didn't say, look at RFK Jr.
	They didn't attack him.
	And so I said, it's going to be interesting to see how this develops.
	Well, as he's there pushing the idea that two children have died, going to a funeral.
	How many funerals of people who died from the mRNA shot did RFK Jr. go to?
	What is he doing?
	I mean, to me, that is absolutely reprehensible.
	But Children's Health Defense is on it.
	They said an eight-year-old in West Texas died from hospital-acquired pneumonia.
	Not from measles.
	Hospital-acquired pneumonia.
	The Krankenhaus, as the Germans call it.
	The sick house.
	Stay out of the hospital.
	They'll kill you.
	Or you'll get sick there.
	Doctors who reviewed eight-year-old Daisy Hildebrand's medical records disputed the Texas Health Authority's statement that she died from, quote, measles pulmonary failure, unquote.
	Again, this is the state public health agencies.
	We've got to get rid of these public health agencies.
	It's not just Fauci.
	And it's not just these federal agencies, HHS and CDC and NIH and all the rest.
	It's all this cancer, this metastasized cancer of public health departments at the state level, at the county level, and all the rest of this stuff, flat out lying.
	And we'll show you how they lied.
	They said medical records show that she died from acute respiratory distress, quote, secondary to hospital-acquired pneumonia.
	That's what the doctors there in the hospital records say.
	And so the public health authorities lied and said, no, it's due to measles pulmonary failure.
	And they said that she likely got this hospital-acquired pneumonia during a previous hospital stay.
	Eight-year-old West Texas child died April the 3rd of acute respiratory distress syndrome.
	And now you've seen it all over the media everywhere.
	Two children died.
	Two children died.
	And look, RFK Jr., he's caving.
	He's going to this.
	He's going to the funerals.
	He's telling everybody, get your MMR shot.
	And he is.
	Daisy Hildebrand died at University Medical Center Children's Hospital in Lubbock, Texas, according to Dr. Brian Hooker with the Children's Health Defense, chief scientific officer who also reviewed the records.
	And here's what they had to say about it.
	You're saying that Daisy did not die of measles?
	Daisy died of E. coli that was acquired in the hospital.
	Very poor clinical decisions were made, which led to just gross mismanagement.
	And it's abundantly clear from the chart.
	Their choice of antibiotics was not well guided, and it turned out to be wrong.
	Because what happened is within two days, she declined, she could no longer be oxygenated, and she died.
	And on the day of death, the culture of her sputum came back.
	And it showed an organism called E. coli, which was resistant to almost all standard antibiotics.
	There was only three big gun antibiotics that would have saved her, and she was dead already by the time they got this information.
	Isn't that interesting?
	E. coli.
	Well, where do you get E. coli?
	Well, typically because of very unsanitary conditions.
	Feces, things like that.
	And she was evidently in very unsanitary conditions in that hospital.
	And she died on April the 3rd, and then three days later, on April the 6th, the Texas Department of State Health Services decided they would politicize this and lie about it.
	They called her death the second death in West Texas, measles outbreak, and they attributed it to measles, pulmonary failure.
	Dr. Pierre Corey, who has extensive experience in pulmonary and critical care medicine, said the causative organism was a highly antibiotic-resistant E. coli.
	Which she just heard there.
	Which she contracted during the first hospital intensive care unit stay.
	This went largely unrecognized and it was poorly treated during the second hospital stay because they began to tunnel in by blaming measles for her worsening pneumonia.
	Isn't this what we saw all throughout the pandemic?
	People dying from neglect, people dying from...
	because everything had to be...
	COVID. I remember when Mike Adams was doing the show one afternoon, I was leaving in the afternoon, and he's got these CDC charts showing, look, more people are dying from COVID than from cancer and heart disease,
	he said.
	And I just, my jaw hit the floor.
	I just couldn't believe it.
	I mean, I've been telling everybody, look, they're misdiagnosing this stuff.
	Everything's going to be diagnosed as COVID.
	And they're denying people health care for this as well.
	And that's what they're doing with the measles.
	Everything's going to be, all the kids who die from any kind of issue, it's going to be measles now.
	The same thing that they did with COVID.
	So they began tunneling in by blaming measles for her worsening pneumonia, repeatedly writing in the chart that she was unvaccinated.
	That's what we saw before.
	Oh, you died because you're unvaccinated.
	No, she died because you're not doing your job.
	Because you're not a doctor or a nurse.
	You're a politician.
	If the hospital staff had followed the adult hospital acquired pneumonia guidelines, they call that the HAP, hospital acquired pneumonia.
	This is the thing.
	This is why, to the extent that you can, stay out of the hospitals.
	They'll kill you and bankrupt you at the same time.
	Bankrupt your heirs.
	The hospital acquired pneumonia.
	HAP guidelines.
	The HAP guidelines.
	A child, quote, would have been placed on the correct antibiotic if they had.
	She had numerous risk factors for HAP, including previous antibiotics, previous ICU stay, being immunosuppressed, and being really sick.
	Corey says, in their defense, he says, I was shocked to learn this.
	He said, there are no pediatric HAP Guidelines.
	In other words, hospital-acquired pneumonia is a very common thing.
	But they don't have any guidelines for children.
	He said, so the antibiotic choices are not established.
	Thus, technically, they did not veer from any guidelines because there are no guidelines for kids.
	He said, the American Academy of Pediatrics should be scolded for this because they're only focused on vaccines.
	He said, the first adult guidelines came out in 2005.
	Here we are 20 years later, and there's no pediatric ones.
	Before she was hospitalized at UMC, Daisy was admitted to
	covenant children's hospital the same hospital where a six-year-old girl died in february after developing pneumonia following a measles diagnosis just to review it subsequently came out that her family said we were pleading with them to do this and to do that and they wouldn't do it again
	no
	She's going to die because she's unvaccinated.
	It's a fatal disease to be unvaccinated and so forth.
	And the doctor who had been treating her said that the measles rash had subsided.
	Didn't even have it when she went there.
	And so that hospital that denied her the effective care is the same one and she subsequently died there.
	That's the same one where this child had hospital acquired pneumonia from that same hospital.
	If you're in that area.
	That hospital that you may want to avoid at all costs is Covenant Children's Hospital.
	And that's the other thing, too.
	If we want to fix the health care system, I've said for the longest time, a couple of things are necessary.
	This has been talked about for 30 years.
	Going back to Hillary Clinton and trying to take over the health care system, I said, here's what needs to happen.
	People need to have purchasing power.
	We need to have, so we have a marketplace, and as part of that marketplace, you need to know the history of doctors and the histories of hospitals.
	Because it's a big issue.
	The doctors and the hospitals who repeatedly have these problems have problems, and you're more likely to have those kind of problems if you go there.
	But that is all hidden from us.
	We're not allowed to know that.
	There's no independent agency that wants to go out there and grade it.
	Oh, they want to look at all kinds of stuff about us, don't they?
	But they don't want you to know anything about hospitals or doctors, their success and failure rates.
	And so, yeah, this is the eight-year-old's medical records all pertain to the care that she received at UNC.
	Corey Hooker Edwards and Humphreys with Children's Self-Defense were not able to review Covenant Children's Hospital records.
	I imagine the lawyers have told him.
	Keep that hidden.
	Corey, Hooker, and Humphreys all confirmed that the child did not at any point receive bunesonide, I guess is the way you pronounce that, a steroid used to relieve inflammation affecting the airways that has been successfully used to treat pneumonia.
	And I think they can have it in a spray format as well.
	The children's father told Hooker that the family requested it.
	Hospital staff told the family that the girl's doctors were taking a different course of action by giving her intravenous steroids so she didn't need budesonide.
	Budesonide, I guess.
	But that is, again, it is an inhaler type of thing.
	So we're going to, she's got respiratory stuff, so we're going to treat her intravenously.
	They just love to stick things in your veins.
	Vaccination needles, IV thing, but they're not going to let her inhale this when she's got a respiratory issue.
	On day four, the child's white, listen to this, this is key.
	The child's white blood cell count shot up from 13 to 4.5, and then on day six, it went up to 27. A classic measles pneumonia has normal or low white blood cell count,
	and hers was doing exactly the opposite.
	It was Going from four and a half to 13 to 27 the day she died.
	On day six or other.
	So this was not measles pneumonia.
	So it's not in the hospital's records that she died from measles pneumonia.
	And if you look at the white blood cell count, you know that it's not measles pneumonia.
	But the Texas Department of Health and the media are telling you that it is.
	They're flat out lying to you.
	He said it was wild that they ignored such high white count.
	It is possible that they dismissed it as a result of the steroids, but for a seasoned ICU doctor, I never attribute white blood cell counts over 20 to steroids.
	So, what is RFK Jr. doing with this?
	Well, he had some interesting statements about this measles stuff.
	You know, there's only three deaths from measles in 20 years.
	And they're all people with extreme complications.
	That's how you die, from measles, because of the complications.
	Yeah, it's people who are already sick.
	It's like COVID.
	There's no evidence with, for example, these two children that they were sick before, and they got sick from the measles, right?
	They were sick before.
	This guy doesn't know what he's talking about.
	I was hospitalized three times from other illnesses.
	She had extreme tonsillectomy.
	She had mononucleosis that she could not kick.
	And then she got measles.
	She got over the measles, according to her parents.
	And according to the medical reports, and I saw a report on it today, the thing that killed her was not the measles, but it was a bacteriological infection.
	Of her lungs?
	She was graft positive for strep bacteria in her bloodstream.
	Right. But what kills you with measles, of course, is you have the measles virus.
	You have measles and you get pulmonary illness.
	Yeah, you get pneumonia because the measles damages the lungs and then the bacteria get in and that's the secondary infection.
	But it's the measles.
	No, it's not the measles, you liar.
	We do a pretty good job.
	We do a very good job at controlling the measles in this country.
	If you're going to use the same logic, these vaccines are killing people.
	Hurts the immune system.
	Those numbers will continue to grow because you're adding old cases to new cases.
	And there's a long incubation period of 10 to 14 days, so you don't know who's out there spreading it.
	Well, no, but you're counting all the old cases where people have already gotten them.
	But there are also people infected today who are traveling and you don't know who they're infecting, right?
	But the point I'm making is that the...
	The rate of increase has substantially decreased.
	So we are successfully controlling it.
	I'll compare it to Europe, where they've had now 127,000 measles cases compared to 840 here.
	And they've had 37 deaths.
	So you ask, why are we still having measles?
	We're having measles for...
	We're always going to have measles, no matter what happens.
	As the vaccine wanes very quickly.
	But I guess the issue here is, and I'm so sorry.
	Yeah, the issue is, I work for CBS, and we're brought to you by Pfizer.
	That's the issue for this guy.
	He's just like Dr. Siegel, I think is the guy's name, on Fox News.
	Every time he is constantly pushing the vaccine.
	A long incubation period, right?
	Well, you know, it doesn't look like it was measles that caused it because...
	But we know it was measles because they got it once.
	And so once the child gets it downstream, you know that it's measles that's doing it.
	Would they say that about the vaccine?
	We have seen that with a vaccine.
	Oh, we're not going to say that, hey, it was too much time.
	They didn't die right away.
	And by the way, if you did die right away after getting the vaccine, and a lot of people did, then they don't count you as being vaccinated, as I said before.
	It's got to be two weeks after your second shot.
	Any time that you die before that, that doesn't count.
	Even if you drop dead when they give you the shot.
	Yeah, they've got their own set of rules, don't they?
	It's rare or it's not rare.
	It's dangerous or it's safe or it's effective.
	These are all malleable terms that mean absolutely nothing with these.
	Grifters and liars and thieves and murderers and the pharmaceutical business and the media that is owned by them and paid off by them like CBS.
	Another thing here with CBS, just remember, back in 2019, I've played this clip before.
	Everybody has, I think, seen.
	It's gone viral.
	The Brady Bunch.
	The episode where everybody in the family gets sick and she's even got the board where she checks off, you know, who's had this childhood disease and who's had that one.
	Well, you know, it was in 2019 that they stopped.
	They got CBS to stop with the Brady Bunch stuff.
	The Brady Bunch episode about the measles.
	They got that pulled down in 2019.
	Here's NPR bragging about that.
	A slight temperature, a lot of dots, and a great big smile.
	A great big smile.
	No school for a few days.
	If you have to get sick, you sure can't beat the measles.
	An actress Maureen McCormick, who played Marsha Brady, is responding to anti-vaccine activists using a 50-year-old episode of the Brady Brunch to promote their cause.
	The episode shows all six Brady kids with measles and it downplays the seriousness of the illness.
	Now McCormick is speaking out against the anti-vaxxers.
	I think it's really wrong when people use people's images today to promote whatever they want to promote.
	You know, as a mother, my daughter was vaccinated.
	The CDC says three-quarters of the people now infected with measles have never been vaccinated.
	Let me ask you this, Marsha.
	Is it wrong to use the death of a child that doesn't have anything to do with the measles, that has everything to do with filthy, dirty, incompetent doctors and hospitals?
	Is it wrong to use them as your poster child?
	So that you can inject kids with substances that you know are causing them to have autism, autoimmune diseases and everything because of the frequency at which you vaccinate.
	I mean, our pharmaceutical industry has become so over the top obsessed with money that it's not enough to sell you one vaccine.
	They've got to vaccinate your kids for each and every one of these conditions.
	Three, four times.
	That's how they get up to 72. No, let's add another one.
	Let's do another one.
	No, those first three didn't work.
	Let's do a fourth one.
	That one didn't work.
	Let's add five.
	And that is the key thing.
	More than any of these other vaccines.
	It's how all of these vaccines collectively together.
	Every time you go in, they're going to give you four or five shots every time you come in.
	We're going to do that every few months to the kids.
	Like I said before, you can argue about This trade deficit stuff and the economic sense, but it's the chaos that is there.
	And with this, it's the repetition and the clustering and the early ages at which you vaccinate these kids that is so damaging.
	And that is nothing other than greed and the ability to be able to harm people and not have to pay for it.
	That was truly amazing on Rumble.
	One Sarah B. says, LOL, oh no, you don't know who's out there spreading it.
	They love to make people afraid because they can't think well when they're afraid.
	That's right.
	Fear is the mind killer.
	Frank Herbert got that right in Dune, didn't he?
	Yeah, we never know who's out there spreading.
	Be careful.
	It's everywhere.
	Just like all this COVID OCD stuff.
	Oh, don't touch the gas pumps and all the rest of this stuff.
	It's just on Rumble.
	Twilight Shadow.
	What a disappointment RFK ended up being.
	Really. He's got just a little bit, push back a little bit, say, well, yeah, but there's some other things, but I think he's still including her.
	We're still here with two deaths from measles.
	And he tries to push back a little bit in that CBS interview, but I think when he says three people died from measles, I think he's including these two, which Children's Health Defense, his own organization, said and proved did not die from measles.
	On Kik, Brian and Deb McCartney, good to see you there.
	They've subscribed on Kik.
	Thank you for doing that.
	On Kik, Shepard Daw, Shepard Daw1979 has subscribed on Kik.
	Thank you.
	Well, they should be liable for what they do, and we now have some states that are pushing back against this legal immunity.
	You may not have immunity against the disease, but the vaccine companies have immunity against lawsuits.
	Minnesota becomes the 11th state to pursue a ban on the use of mRNA-based vaccines.
	The Trump shots.
	Trump shots.
	He was the father of the mRNA stuff and he came back roaring into office on his first day selling mRNA again.
	Adding AI to it.
	And that's what his CDC appointment is all about.
	Dave Weldon was just a head fake.
	He really wanted this woman who is working on combining mRNA Plus AI together, just like he had his Stargate thing there.
	Lawmakers in Minnesota introduced legislation to ban the use of mRNA-based vaccines within their borders, part of a trend spanning 11 states so far.
	So only one-fifth of the states, only about 20%.
	And by the way, this likely won't happen, especially in Minnesota, because of who the governor is, the running mate of Lala, Tim Walz.
	But look, if it's going to happen, the only place it's going to happen is going to be at the state level.
	And it's not going to be easy there.
	So this legislation says, quote, no person shall provide or administer a gene-based vaccine to another person in this state.
	They define this as, quote, a vaccine developed using messenger ribonucleic acid technology, mRNA.
	Modified messenger ribonucleic acid technology or self-amplifying mRNA.
	By the way, that self-amplifying thing?
	Vivec and J.D. Vance are involved in companies that are developing and marketing self-amplifying mRNA.
	I mean, what could be more dangerous than that?
	Just insane.
	I said from the very beginning I called this the GCI, didn't I?
	I said it's not mRNA.
	Call it the GCI, the genetic code injection.
	And it's going to mess with you, and they're going to reprogram your body to make something.
	In this particular case, they reprogram your body to make this harmful spike, which is the real plague that is out there.
	it's the spike that's causing the myocarditis and the pericarditis and the uh the fibrous blood clots and all the rest of this stuff and so many different things that are out there it's the spike so they reprogrammed your body to manufacture that spike isn't that great
	they can do it right away they told trump in that dog and pony show and i said at the time what stops it well it turns out that some people gone on one nurse said she's been tested and said her body is still making it
	1500 days later 1500 days later five years and so i
	Well, it's not enough.
	J.D. Vance and Vivek the Snake Rama Slimy are involved in companies that want to self-amplify this stuff.
	It's not good enough to keep injecting people with it.
	It's not good enough that it's got no off switch.
	They want to amplify it even more.
	How reprehensible.
	You know, J.D. Vance, Vivek Rama Swami, they will do anything to make money.
	Just like Albert Borla, right?
	These other people, right?
	It's unlikely to make it out of the state legislature, this ban divided between a Democrat Senate and an evilly divided House, much less to be signed into law by the far-left Democrat governor, Tim Walz, while I was running, mate.
	But this is what the guy who put it together said.
	He said, if I was a manufacturer of car tires, and if these car tires delammed, in other words, came apart, At a thousand miles, should people be able to, should I be liable for that?
	Especially if these cars, these tires are coming apart and people are dying in car crashes.
	Should you be liable for that?
	Well, you didn't die from the tire.
	You died from the crash.
	And, you know, don't blame me.
	You should drive better.
	You know, whatever.
	So that's what Iowa State Senator Doug Campbell said.
	He's also got a bill there.
	So we're talking about Minnesota was there.
	This is an Iowa bill.
	He said his bill started as an outright ban, but then he modified it into a requirement that mRNA shot manufacturers waive liability protections.
	Now, that's smart.
	Instead of doing an outright ban, say, all right, well, you can sell this stuff.
	You're just going to be on the hook if you harm anybody.
	That should stop it right there.
	Because they know.
	We know.
	They know.
	We know they know.
	And so just say, well, you're going to lose your liability protection.
	That's as good as a ban.
	That's probably as good as you're going to get.
	That's going to be much harder for them to defend against.
	Well, what's your problem?
	And in the process of this, if they can get it to the floor and have a debate or whatever, in the process of this, it could help to raise public awareness.
	So, what is it that they're...
	You mean that they don't have any legal liability for any damage that they do?
	That was the eye-opener for me.
	When I found out about the 1986 thing, that was the end of it for us.
	I didn't know about that for the longest time.
	Anyway, VAERS reports show from this Trump shot, currently, just on the...
	And remember, it was a Harvard report that said only 1% of issues were reported to VAERS.
	Because there's even more pressure with the COVID not to report it.
	It's a very cumbersome, time-consuming thing to do.
	People were discouraged from putting it in, but they were actively discouraged from doing it with COVID.
	Nevertheless, we still have 38,541 deaths reported on VAERS.
	38,541.
	You have the audacity to call that rare?
	Trump doesn't care.
	How many people died on 9-11?
	Oh, 3,000.
	Here's 38,541 who died from his shot.
	And he doesn't care at all.
	More than 10 times.
	More than 12 times.
	Well, it's 13 times, really.
	220,000 hospitalizations.
	22,000 heart attacks.
	28,900, let's call it 29,000, myocarditis and pericarditis cases as of March 28th.
	That's what Trump's responsible for.
	That's what John Rich wanted to tell him.
	He said, I know, and everybody that I know knows of people who have died, family members who have died because of this.
	That's why they boo you when you brag about your vaccine.
	Because you killed 38,548 people.
	And you injured another quarter of a million.
	And you caused 22,000 heart attacks and 29,000 people with myocarditis and pericarditis, which will probably kill them.
	Or they'll have to have an operation.
	Remember, Franklin Graham had to have an operation to move the lining around the outside of his heart because of pericarditis.
	Analysis of 99 million people across eight different countries.
	This was the shot that was sent around the world.
	Trump's shot.
	Published in the journal Vaccine.
	This analysis in the magazine Vaccine observed significantly higher risks of myocarditis following the first, second, third doses of mRNA-based vaccines.
	As well as signs of increased risk of pericarditis, Guillain-Barre syndrome, and cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, among other potential safety signals that require further investigation,
	they said.
	In January, a long-awaited Florida grand jury report on the COVID vaccine manufacturers found that while only a minuscule percentage of the millions of vaccinations resulted in serious harm, and here's the key, Based on the data that it had access to.
	They don't give you access to the data.
	So with that caveat, they go on to say, well, based on the access of the data that we're able to get to, which they hide a lot of this stuff from.
	I mean, remember, the FDA and the vaccine companies wanted to hide all this information for 75 years.
	So it's all hidden pretty much, but we know what's going on.
	They think we don't know, but we do.
	They said, But hey, it's rare,
	so you can forget about it.
	Well, they hype measles, which is not serious.
	So, That was kind of a signal of where this was headed,
	by the way.
	Well, I said Iowa and...
	Was it Minnesota?
	We're trying to push back on banning the vaccine, banning it by saying we're going to take away your liability.
	Well, Idaho is the first one to enforce a ban on vaccine mandates, not on the vaccines themselves, but on the mandates.
	Idaho this summer will be the first state in the country to enforce a ban on vaccine mandates, reflecting a growing skepticism about immunization among Americans.
	Now, this should be something that you should be able to get through.
	In a Republican state.
	Because it's politically correct to be able to do this.
	You can criticize Biden.
	It was the mandates that Biden did.
	It wasn't Trump's shot that he boasted about, that he funded, that he pushed around the world.
	It wasn't that.
	It was Biden's mandates.
	Well, yeah, they were both bad.
	But you should be able, in a Republican state like Idaho, you should be able to get rid of the mandates at the very least.
	Except, that's even been fought by the Covidian GOP governor of Idaho, Brad Little, who was all about the lockdowns.
	He had more than double what the entire budget of the state was was given to him by Donald Trump for his own personal discretion.
	His own, you know, he can pay people to do whatever he wants with that stuff.
	And he wasn't about to give that up.
	And they pushed very hard, and he disbanded the Republican legislature that was going to come together and stop this executive order that was there.
	And he disbanded them like he was some kind of British colonial governor back in 1776.
	And then he crafted his own thing to twist people's arms about lockdown, all these superstitions, the mask, the distancing, all the rest of the stuff.
	Can't have more than this number of people in a...
	You know, in a restaurant, all that stuff.
	He put together all of his stuff with the penalties on it and then brought them back and had them rubber stamp that.
	And so, as I said before, at the state level, things can get worse.
	And remember this, folks, when we talk about state bans on vaccines, when we talk about states removing the immunity from this stuff, when we talk about states putting a ban on mandates, remember what they did in the wake of dark winter.
	Two months before 9-11, they simulated this for the first time.
	Then they did it every year, at least once, for the next 20 years.
	The last one being Event 201.
	So Dark Winter was there two months before 9-11.
	One week after 9-11, they had the false flag anthrax attack, which was likely done by the CIA.
	We've had people on, we've talked about that.
	The form of the...
	First they said it was done by Iraq.
	We've got to go invade Iraq, and that was blown up.
	Even the mainstream media Push back against that lie from George W. Bush.
	But based on the form of anthrax and the way that it was weaponized, it could have only come from the U.S. And then they tried to blame it on a scientist at a facility that didn't have that capability.
	Because the two facilities that did have the capability were CIA facilities.
	Anyway, after that false flag anthrax attack, two months later, What I'm saying is That they understood the importance of
	state legislation.
	We don't.
	We're always focused on Washington, and we're always focused on the presidency.
	But you can start to pull this stuff back, peel it back, layer by layer, peel back this onion, and you have to do that at the state level.
	The ban on the vaccine mandates at the state level.
	So, Brad Little refused to sign it the first time through.
	He said, well, I don't know.
	I think this...
	We're going to trample on...
	He said he refused to sign it because it's going to prohibit schools, businesses, governments from denying services or admission to people who have not received a medical intervention and so forth.
	He said it infringes on parental freedom.
	What? And it hindered the ability of schools to send home students suffering from contagious illnesses.
	Well, state lawyers...
	Lawmakers should say revised it to clarify that it didn't do that, and it really forced his hand.
	And so now, this Covidian governor, Brad Little, in Idaho, has signed it.
	The move comes while more than a dozen states have introduced bills banning medical intervention requirements or restricting the use of some vaccines, including the mRNA shots, according to Newsmax.
	By the way, Idaho is one of the three states that has also Debating whether to ban mRNA vaccines.
	No states have yet passed that policy.
	I don't think that'll pass.
	You're going to have to do the smart thing and say, let's remove their liability.
	And if you remove their liability, then you've got them.
	Because that's all they care about is their money.
	We're going to take a quick break and we will be right back.
	Stay with us.
	with us.
	Stay with us.
	Analyzing the globalist's next move.
	Music
	And now, The David Knight Show.
	On kick, the real Octo Spook says, I'm still waiting for Janet Reno, the FBI, etc.
	to be served justice for Waco any day now.
	Yeah, right.
	By the way, they gave Lon Horiuchi.
	The sniper who killed Randy Weaver's wife at point-blank range.
	They gave him a medal.
	I'll never forget his name.
	On Rumble, Johnny Gospelseed, I just read my cardiologist the Riot Act the other day because I told them that the medical industrial business is there to make a profit and not to heal people.
	They just treat symptoms.
	My cardiologist tried to get me on statins, and I said, no, I'm not taking that stuff.
	He goes, oh, you've been consulting Dr. Google?
	I didn't argue with him.
	I never went back.
	But yeah, I should have said, well, one of us needs to get informed, and it's not going to be you, evidently.
	On kick, Knights of the Storm said, I agree, David.
	The immunity from liability is the cornerstone that needs to be uprooted.
	Absolutely is.
	Let's talk about this.
	Trump orders the DOJ to investigate a prominent Which, of course, is a capital offense.
	Miles Taylor over his anonymous essay and book hammering Trump during his first term.
	Trump went so far as to accuse him of committing treason, which, of course, is a capital offense.
	For writing about what he saw during Trump's first term, as I said at the beginning of the program.
	If this is untrue, the remedy would be libel, right?
	But not treason.
	And if you're going to threaten your critics with this kind of stuff, you're the one who is the treasonous traitor, Trump.
	And it's a tag-team effort by Biden and Trump to create this kind of Political persecution of their enemies.
	But it's bad when Biden does it to Trump.
	But when Trump does it to Biden, MAGA thinks it's okay.
	And vice versa.
	The left, and here, this is put up by Mediaite.
	Oh, they think it was awful to do this, and it is.
	But they were just fine with Biden doing the lawfare against Trump.
	Trump also ordered the Department of Justice to investigate Chris Krebs.
	Trump's election security director during his first term, Trump, suggested that Krebs was part of an effort to steal the 2020 election.
	As Krebs repeatedly said, there was no evidence of fraud that he could find.
	I've interviewed people who have said the same thing.
	If there was a lot of evidence, then why couldn't you prove it to anybody, Trump?
	Why couldn't Mike Lindell?
	I remember when Mike Lindell, we got the receipts, we're going to show everybody.
	That's a big event.
	Steve Bannon was hosting it and hyping it and all the rest of this stuff.
	And after a short period of time, he goes, well, that's it.
	And he just cuts off the broadcast and he says, well, we were told he's going to have some receipts, but Mike doesn't have any receipts.
	Same stuff that we've heard over and over again.
	White House Staff Secretary Will Scharf handed Trump a series of executive orders in the Oval Office on Wednesday, yesterday, and offered a quick summary of each of those.
	The next presidential memorandum we have for you relates to Miles Taylor.
	you may recall that Miles Taylor served in the Department of Homeland Security during your previous administration in his capacity with the Department of Homeland Security he leaked classified information he wrote a book under the pseudonym anonymous making outrageous
	claims both about your administration about others in it what the
	presidential memorandum is going to do one out there any active clearance that he has in light of his past activities involving classified information it's also going to order the Department of Justice to investigate his activities to see what else might come
	up in the
	And I had no idea who this guy was.
	I had no idea.
	I saw him on CNN, or one of them, I guess CNN, a lot.
	He'd be on all the time, saying that the president is the president.
	I had no idea.
	It's like, you know, in this office you have a lot of young people.
	Well, then if it's false, sue him.
	I assume he was in the office.
	You sue a lot of people.
	I barely remember him.
	Barely remember him.
	It was somebody that went out and wrote a book.
	Well, again, I don't know or care what Taylor wrote.
	I really don't know.
	Taylor was, because that's not the issue.
	The issue is that the person committing treason here, the person committing the crime is Trump, and he should be impeached for this.
	Absolutely should be impeached.
	This guy is a narcissist.
	He is a sociopath.
	He is a psychopath when you look at his murderous assassinations and the rest of this stuff.
	Wouldn't be the first time if we have a massive attack on Iran, wouldn't be the first time he assassinated their number two guy or something.
	But it's good when he does it.
	It's bad if somebody were to do that to an American official, but if Americans do it to other countries, oh, it's a good thing when we assassinate.
	So Miles Taylor served as deputy chief of staff to Trump's former DHS secretary, Christian Nielsen, and in 2018, he penned an anonymous op-ed in the New York Times.
	So now he needs to have the full Department of Justice put on him.
	This order requires the Department of Justice to investigate his activities to see what else might come up in that context.
	Bring me the man.
	And I'll find the crime.
	Hallmark of a totalitarian dictatorship.
	Folks, it's not a joke that Trump is a dictator.
	It's not a joke that he's a totalitarian.
	It's not a joke that he puts these things on and takes them off and he's doing everything by executive order and by phony emergencies.
	That's how he ended his last reign and it is how he is beginning his current reign.
	He hasn't changed.
	I will always be opposed to him and to the people who enable him.
	In the context, given his egregious behavior during the previous administration, he needs to be investigated because he said bad stuff about me, says the narcissist in chief.
	Well, BitChute is discontinuing its video hosting service in the UK.
	Blaming online safety acts.
	This is kind of interesting.
	People in the UK won't be able to view stuff on BitChute.
	They'll still be able to upload it.
	So it's kind of, I guess, a write-only system for the people there because of the censorship of the UK.
	Free speech is under attack everywhere.
	By the way, BitChute is another place where you can find us.
	BitChute, on Rumble, on Odyssey, all these people have been attacked for supporting free speech.
