Time Text
As the clock strikes 13, it's Friday, the 11th of April, Year of Our Lord 2025.
Well, today we're going to take a look at what is the bigger picture around the tariff-ism.
Perhaps this was...
Let's play a MAGA game here.
And let's say that this was Donald Trump's plan to boost gold.
How about that?
Which he loves so much.
I mean, he's gilded everything in his residences.
He's got some new golden products on his website.
We'll talk about that today.
And so we're going to take a look at the bigger picture with us.
We also have some climate update news.
And I think we have a fascinating essay.
About perhaps one of the most beneficial things of artificial intelligence.
Even as people are saying these new AI agents may be able to wreak havoc upon our economy if people use them to trade stocks, and that is true.
Perhaps it'll tell us something about what it means to be made in the image of God.
So we're going to talk about that as well.
We'll be right back.
And I just want to
thank the people who have been moving over to Kik.
We have shut down Rockfin in terms of broadcasting.
We need to put one more message out there.
Tell people where they can find us.
The davidknight.news.
But anyway.
But Spencer DeLong, thank you very much for gifting subs on Kik and Real Baba as well.
And this is, when we talk about Kik, Kik and Rumble are going to be primarily our live broadcasting things.
Of course, we'll be doing archives on Rumble as well.
And we have some updates about the attacks on these different platforms like BitChute, where we also are.
BitChute is under attack by foreign governments.
Of course, BitChute and Rumble in Brazil are being attacked, but BitChute is being attacked in the UK.
So we're going to tell you a little bit more about that.
I mentioned it briefly yesterday, but I didn't have time to say much about it.
But let's talk first about the aftermath of the tariffs.
As the Wall Street Journal asks, is there a method behind this or is it just madness?
It's a plan, of course, right?
Except they don't have a plan.
And they don't plan to help you at all.
Agricultural Secretary Brooke Rollins says, well, we're going to have to think about this.
We'll have to look down the line as to what we're going to do to help the farmers because, as we have seen before, they bore the brunt of Trump's tariffs, China attacking the farmers in this country.
And so that was in 2018.
In 2020, all small businesses and farms took it on the chin, and many of them went out of business.
But even with the subsidies in 2018, many of them went out of business.
Those were able to hang on.
Many of them lost with the second hit in 2020.
And then Trump comes right back and does it again, first thing.
But they don't think about it.
They don't know what they're going to do.
It doesn't matter to them.
So the U-turn.
Raise questions about whether big concessions on trade needed to be made to mollify an American leader who had been humbled by the market.
You see, foreign leaders are looking at the market.
They're looking at the actions and they're not listening to people like Cat Turd and D.C. Drano and on and on.
They don't really care what those people are telling.
Nobody believes that except that little inside cult that wants to believe that.
What everybody else realizes is that the market brought Trump to heel.
The bond market, primarily.
Stock market was going down, but it was really the bond market that broke him.
And so, foreign countries have looked at this, and they've seen what it takes to break Trump.
And that's the point of the Wall Street Journal.
Some economists said that the swift climb down after the market convulsions of the past few days provided world leaders with valuable information about Trump's pain threshold, which could lead them to take a tougher stance when negotiations start in earnest.
And so, I think it was a face-saving thing to go up to 145% tariffs on China.
You know, when we looked at these other tariffs that have been out there, they would always include the 20% that was put there initially.
And so they talked about it being 54%.
Then I'm going to add 50 points, so it's going to be 104%.
Then he says, I'm going to go to 125.
Now they're saying, well, it was actually 145 because the 125 didn't include the original 20. I don't know if that's true or not.
I looked at this and it's like, well, this is just a tough guy.
He doubled it up.
He went from 104 to 125 to show how tough he was.
Then I think they went to 145 to show that he's even tougher.
And it's a lot of bluster.
Scott Bessant told reporters that this had been the president's strategy all along.
And of course, everybody wants to curry favor with Trump, including the Soros guy, Scott Bessant.
They will tell you this was the plan all along.
It was planned all along.
The market woes did not factor into the trade team's calculus.
However, Trump himself suggested that the stock losses were a driving force behind his decision.
As I played for you yesterday, Trump himself said the bond market, you know, these guys are getting really yippy.
It's hard to figure out those bonds, bonds this, bonds that.
It was the bonds.
Talking about it in his circular way.
But it was the bond market that really triggered all this stuff.
On Thursday morning, the Dow then fell 1,500 points while the S&P 500 shrank 5%, wiping out more than half of Wednesday's gains in both cases.
So, as soon as he took off this horrible policy, or said he was going to take it off, then the market jumped and then people realized, wait a minute, there's a lot of it that's still going to remain.
There's still going to be a trade war with China, and that's going to really escalate.
And then there's still a 10% tariff on every other country, even people that we had a trade surplus with.
They want you to focus on trade deficits because they don't want you to look at the government's deficit spending.
You just had Trump and Mike Johnson ram through another spending bill in Congress.
And they raised the debt ceiling by $5 trillion.
They don't want you to talk about that deficit.
Let's talk about the trade deficit and how I'm going to fix that.
They don't have any plan to fix the government's deficit.
But the reality is that just as we talk about all these collective things, public health, public education, public transportation, public debt, they don't really care how this affects individuals.
And it really is, when you create this public abstraction, It is simply an abstraction in order to empower and enable the government to do whatever it wishes for the benefit of the bureaucrats.
It's never about the individual's health.
It's never about educating individuals.
It's always about indoctrinating them.
Or if you're talking about transportation, how we can control people's movements better than we can if they have individual freedom with a car.
So, Agricultural Secretary Brooke Rollins.
Well, it's going to take a bit of time to fully understand the implications, especially for wheat, corn, and soybean.
We just don't know what's going to happen, she said.
Well, I think I know what's going to happen.
Saw what you did seven years ago.
So, we're supposed to trust the plan?
What plan?
You have a plan?
You really do?
No, trust is their plan.
Just trust me.
I know what I'm doing.
We're experts, right?
So could Trump cut China out of the dollar system?
You see, he's really continuing Biden's restructuring of the financial system globally.
And it may not be to our advantage either, because these people are not doing things for our advantage.
They're not putting America first in any of this stuff.
They've got a global agenda.
I mean, it's not just putting Israel first, but they've got a global agenda for a global currency and all the rest of this stuff.
They didn't put our interests first, even collectively as a nation.
And so we saw Biden weaponize all of this stuff.
We saw him with his attack on Russia.
We saw him moving people away from the financial system.
Not just the dollar, but the swift closure and all the currency exchange stuff.
So they're moving away from the entire financial system that we built.
And they're building their own, the BRICS thing.
And so, as I've said before, With Biden, it was going to be a war with Russia.
With Trump, it was going to be a war with China.
So we have an economic war with Russia, sanctions and things like that.
Now Trump wants his economic war with China.
And in both of these, we always risk having a physical war when you start an economic war.
And so now we have our economic war with China, just as Biden had the economic war with Russia.
But both of these things are weakening the dollar because it shows people that we're not trustworthy.
And it's going to have massive implications because Americans have been living on a credit card for a very, very long time.
And once that credit card gets cancelled, we're not going to recognize American life is just going to be completely turned upside down.
An Australian economist, Warwick McKibben, said the whole world is not having a trade war here.
It's just 20% of the world, the USA, attacking the other 80%.
This is the way other people see it.
They're not seeing this MAGA cult stuff.
The situation is likely to metastasize from China to Europe and to others as they beef up anti-dumping measures on Chinese goods to protect their own industry.
The trade war will really go global if the U.S. tells other countries that the price for providing global public goods like the U.S. security umbrella and the U.S. dollar as the global reserve asset and it is a common tariff against China.
Okay, so, you know, you have to pay up and we're going to, you know, we want to be paid for being the world's policeman now.
He says that that would effectively cut China out of the dollar system, and it would make it exceedingly difficult for China to raise dollars to pay for its food and energy imports.
And, of course, he doesn't say it, but, of course, it's going to strengthen the move to BRICS because people don't like the U.S. pushing and bullying people around.
Who would like that?
China is taking policy measures of its own.
They have fixed the onshore yuan to its weakest level since September 2023, and that's the way they cancel out these tariffs.
And it's always been about currency manipulation.
And, of course, since the U.S. knows that and has talked about that, that's going to really tweak the anger of Trump.
Chinese authorities are clearly allowing the currency to depreciate to offset some of the pain inflicted by U.S. tariffs.
This will only further inflame tensions with the White House.
Well, we need to also point out, and nobody wants to point out the fact that the Paris Climate Accord gave them, I think, an even bigger advantage than what they typically had built into the China price.
And, I mean, definitely did.
Because the China price was currency manipulation.
It was tariffs and protected markets.
It was slave labor.
It was intellectual property theft where they would copy things that people would send their products to be made in China and they would do dead-on knockoffs and in some cases criminally.
I mean, we had situations where they would imitate brake pads that were made by an American country and actually sell counterfeits of it.
A lot of the time what they would do is they would get the plans for it, they would make their own brand, and they would sell it.
And it would be quite a bit cheaper, and it would be functional.
But in some cases, it was criminal.
They would knock it off as if it was the American brand, and in one particular aspect, break pads that were paper.
Instead of any reliable stuff.
So it's going to wear out and fail at an early stage.
And then people would blame the company because it had all the knock-on label stuff there.
So the criminal side of it was very dangerous.
But typically what they would do is just make a dead-on copy of the actual product and put their name on it.
The dangerous thing was when they would make a bad copy.
And put your name on it.
But anyway, when they gave them essentially a monopoly on cheap energy by giving them an exemption in terms of any air issues and CO2 issues and things like that,
both China...
And India.
Build as many and as dirty power plants as they want.
I've talked about this constantly.
That gives them a tremendous advantage, especially since Europe, UK, Germany, shutting down all of their affordable coal plants.
And already the UK is four times what Germany is, and Germany is considerably more expensive in terms of energy than we are.
If you're going to manufacture stuff, that's what it's all about.
Especially if they're going to, even if they're going to onshore things.
That have been offshore and use robotics and use humanoid robots, they still have to have that cheap power that's there.
Maybe that's another reason why Trump is telling them, have your own power plants.
Because it's going to be too expensive, too unreliable, it's crumbling, it's vulnerable, so make your own power.
But China is able to make their own power and make it very, very cheaply.
So gold appears to have found support, says this article.
It's amazing how things change so quickly.
Around the $29.80 per ounce level.
Yesterday it went up to a new all-time high, broke $3,200 an ounce.
Yeah, Trump, maybe that's what Trump meant by golden error.
His error and our gold.
That's what we need to look at this.
Gold may be poised for gains down the track as U.S. inflation Lifts and the probability of a Mar-a-Lago accord to devalue the U.S. dollar rises.
You see, besides inflation, what is his strategy going to be to compete with the Chinese?
If they devalue the yuan, his strategy is, well, we'll match them and we'll devalue the American dollar.
Okay, well, that's going to help gold as well.
So there is little distinction between economics and geopolitics in the current environment.
The Trump administration is aggressively deploying trade and financial policy to achieve foreign policy goals, as did Biden.
And of course, China does the same thing.
But when you weaponize the financial system, in a sense, people were operating under this system that was supposed to be relatively neutral.
Yes, it did give a tremendous advantage to the U.S. to be able to spend and not have to Pay for it.
What we did with the reserve dollar was to create a giant credit card.
So that's a huge advantage for us.
And nevertheless, when we start shutting people's access down to the system for political reasons and things like Biden has done, like Trump perhaps is preparing to do, in effect, when we start weaponizing that, that's kind of like the referee playing for the other team,
right? We've lost any pretense of neutrality.
And I think it's a bridge too far.
I think these people have gotten used to having this credit card and this reserve dollar status.
They think it can never go away, so they're perfectly fine with using it as a weapon.
But they're going to kill the goose that laid the golden egg.
And then golden eggs are going to get really expensive.
Gold will go up.
Global tariff war, the key developments along with this 125% tariff, and as I said before, I think that the additional 20% that was added there.
I think that was kind of Trump tweaking them.
I'm going to get even with you.
I'm going to ramp it up here.
U.S. oil producers announced a halt in oil drilling as Trump increases the China tariff to 125%.
No, 145%.
And so, because everything is changing so rapidly.
And one day, you know, the articles, in just a few hours, the articles are out of date in terms of some of these numbers that are there.
This is from Health Impact News, Brian Shulhavi.
He quotes oil industry publications saying, the industry needs to cut immediately and to hunker down to let the tariff war play out.
And, of course, this is the same response that many of the German automobile manufacturers have made as well.
Let's see what's going to happen with this.
It's very volatile.
Trump is changing these policies by the hour.
So let's just wait and see what's going on, but let's just stop it right now.
And that's a real bad thing.
It's another way of locking down the economy again.
Busting supply chains all over the place.
It's going to have knock-on effects.
Secondary, tertiary, on.
American shale drillers let their frustrations with the Trump administration be known, according to a Bloomberg report.
The industry is frustrated over the Over its high level of support for the new administration, which has since caused a severe oil price plunge, despite promises of a future where shale drillers could drill baby drill.
Turns out Trump is drilling the people who supported him.
Shale drillers contributed significantly to Trump's election campaigns and were responsible essentially for making America great again by catapulting the country to the status of top crude producer in the world.
The betrayal is now being felt as prices continue to tank.
And of course, the same thing for the farmers, as I said.
Betrayed in 2018 with the tariffs, they got a little bit of stimulus help.
Wasn't enough for many of them.
Then in 2020, Trump...
Does it again.
Does it to everybody, but also to the farmers.
And then he begins his second term, 2025, by going after the farmers, going after the oil drillers, the people who had supported him.
I don't know, it's kind of like January the 6th version of all this stuff.
It's just, he betrays the people who follow him in this cult-like manner.
I saw some Trump supporters stating that today's rapid stock market increase was proof that Trump's tariffs are working.
Said Brian Shalhavi.
Well, okay.
Then is the rapid collapse proof that Trump's economic policies are not working?
Did the Trump drop the next day change their tune?
Oh, of course not.
Of course not.
Ray Dalio, who is the founder of Bridgewater Associates, multi-billionaire, it is the second largest hedge fund in the world.
He sees a once-in-a-lifetime collapse in the economic, political, and geopolitical orders.
Yeah, a fourth turning, essentially.
And so, he said, this is the comment from Patrick Wood, because he talks about the fourth turning as well.
He's savvy to it.
Everybody uses the terms millennial, Gen X, Gen Y, Gen Z, and all that kind of stuff.
They use all this generational term, focus on it, but they scrupulously avoid.
Talking about what the central thesis of that was.
And that is the fourth turning.
That's the real importance of seeing this as once every four generations you have a major restructuring.
And this is going to be, I think, a very, very major one.
Anyway, Patrick Wood at Technocracy News says whether this fourth turning is investable, it will be technocracy's opportunity to capture the world and to shove us into a scientific dictatorship.
Technocrats are pushing the debt-based monetary system aside in favor of an asset-based crypto system that digitizes all assets in the world, including land and natural resources.
The end of debt means the end of private property.
Now, you know, Paul Harvey said, you know, if I were the devil, this is what I would do.
Well, if I were the devil in D.C. D.C., the District of Columbia.
No, the devil's country.
If I were in the devil's country of Washington, this is what I would do.
I would design a stable coin, digital currency.
I would put all of our resources to work, as Scott Bessant and Lutnick are saying.
I would digitize those resources and tokenize them, essentially, and put them on the chain, and then just kind of balance all this stuff out, and then we come out on the other end, owning everything.
And having complete surveillance and control of the financial system down to the individual level.
If I were the devil, that's what I would do.
It is conceivable that the Federal Reserve and the Bank of International Settlements will be driven out of existence.
Yes, of course it could be.
They had a beginning.
They could easily have an end.
These 20th century institutions.
They would be, however, reconstituted in another form.
By the end of the debt-based economic system, is totally conceivable and in its place something that is going to be a system of slavery.
Blocks and chains in the blockchain.
Ray Dalio warned that investors are too narrowly fixated on tariffs and not paying enough attention to the bigger once-in-a-lifetime breakdown that is occurring in major monetary, political, and geopolitical orders.
Failing to heed those underlying conditions will blindside investors to the biggest disruptions that are still to come.
He says there are big pressures for these imbalances to be corrected one way or the other, and doing so will change the monetary order in major ways.
It is obviously incongruous to have both large-scale trade imbalances and capital imbalances in a deglobalizing world in which the major players can't trust that the other major players won't cut them off from the items that
they need, which is the American worry.
We don't make it.
We need that stuff from China, right?
Or we need even the rare earth minerals from China.
Or, on China's side, they're worried
they won't get the money that they're owed for this.
And there's no upside to what Trump is doing.
There's no plan to what he's doing.
He's simply...
He and his buddies making lots of money.
Gaps in people's education, opportunity, productivity levels, as well as income, wealth, and values are manifesting in a breakdown of democratic systems and the rise of autocratic leaders, according to Dalio.
Well, that's absolutely true.
And so, everybody sees this, you know, in all these other countries.
They see what's happening.
In America, we have this bifurcation because of the two parties, and we have this willful blindness to it.
And the Washington Post is calling out some of the, what they call Trump creators, pro-Trump creators, influencers.
I call them the Trump sucker proxies on social media.
And, of course, this is one of the most amazing things.
Benny Johnson saying, well, losing money, that costs you nothing.
In fact, it builds quite a bit of character.
I said, really?
Really? That's your advice, Benny Johnson.
Okay, so you're losing money?
No problem with that!
And they said, did he and these other Trump influencers on social media?
Did they say that kind of stuff when the markets were dropping under Lala and Biden, whenever it would go down?
There was panic.
Panic. But now these influencers, like DC Drano, Benny Johnson, Cat Turd, they call anybody who criticizes this foolish nonsense and bullying from Trump, they call them panikins.
You're panicking.
And so, yeah, nothing to worry about.
You're losing money.
Who cares, right?
Eight months earlier, on a day where the stock market went down under Biden, Johnson struck a darker tone.
It's, quote, bloody Black Monday.
Holy moly!
The Lala Harris crash is here, he said on August the 5th.
He blamed her for her stock market and total and complete collapse.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average recovered shortly after ending the month, up 7%.
But the Trump Legion of Online Information Warriors, that's what they call them, I call them the Trump Sucker Proxies.
They're sucking up to Trump.
And they're his proxies, pushing whatever nonsense he wants at any given time.
The economic shocks Have made for some awkward times.
MAGA close observers of the stock market during Biden's term, they cast every slide as an American crisis.
Rogan O'Hanley, known as D.C. Drano, saying in August that it was, quote, not a coincidence that as Lala's polls rise, the stock market dives.
These are the people.
seriously they have absolutely no credibility after all of their epstein shenanigans with the files that were going to be released remember the how they're dancing in their show and stuff well okay the the dancing was ai but uh they came pretty close
to actually dancing
It's so transparent.
It's like...
You know that he was Epstein's best friend forever, and he is not going to give you the Epstein files.
Anyway, DC Drano, Rogan O'Hanley was one of these guys as well.
On Monday, O'Hanley urged people to stop whining, that's his term, about the market sell-off, saying that Trump's, quote, preventative surgery, unquote, of tariffs was necessary.
You can call this medical stuff.
Take your medicine, said Trump.
He said, this is kind of like a shock after a surgery, and the patient's going to get better now.
Well, no, actually.
People act like the American stock market has never dipped before, said Brogan O'Hanley.
It always recovers, and it always goes back.
That's not what he was saying before.
I mean, they just lie to you for partisan purposes.
The short-term dip was well worth the golden era economy that we're about to experience, he said.
Well, no, I think it's a golden era.
It's an era that's going to benefit gold.
I love how they try to say, ignore these real actual consequences for the potential of what might be a benefit down the road.
I know, and just in a few hours, like I said, it bounced back.
But was it a dead cat bounce?
It came back, got back about half of what it had lost in the previous four days.
Then it started giving it back again.
So, you know, again, they're being hoisted by Trump's batard of rapidly changing things, but also the damage that he has now inflicted.
So Trump really loves gold stuff, right?
We've seen it before.
He's selling gold sneakers, gold everything in his homes.
And he's got some new products that are about to come out.
They're pre-booking now for May.
And this is not a joke.
And I have to make that clear because so much of what Trump does looks like a parody.
But this is not.
I've always said that Trump never passed the sniff test.
Well, he's working on that now because he's coming up with some perfume called
47 Fragrance.
These are screenshots from his merchandising.
Going to be available for both men and women.
And so you get this little perfume bottle there, which costs, wait, wait, how much is it going to cost?
$200! $200!
And it's a very small bottle of perfume with a large golden statue of Trump.
Isn't that impressive?
And it says they're limited edition.
And number, get yours now and celebrate the season with Victory 47. With every spray, Victory 47 captures confidence, beauty, and unstoppable determination.
A sophisticated, subtly feminine scent.
There you go.
He's going to have some perfume.
I smell a sucker.
It's amazing.
Yeah, it's amazing.
And of course, it's gold.
When he liked that AI video that was actually making fun of him, I said it at the time.
That's what pulled him in.
He loved that kind of stuff.
Well, Breitbart was taunting China for pushing back on this.
Look at this headline.
And this was, I saw this a couple of days, it's now moved down.
But this was at the top.
And it was very popular with the commenters there at Breitbart.
6,800 comments on this.
China cracking under pressure and threatens a free world with the ghost of murderer Mao Zedong.
Mao Zedong, I guess what you say.
Not tongue.
But look, Mao is a huge figure in China.
When we went there about 20 years ago, I couldn't believe those Mao pictures everywhere, Mao souvenirs everywhere.
It's like, this guy murdered more of his own people than any other leader in history.
And then I thought, but we have the Lincoln Memorial.
He murdered...
So many Americans, I mean, they did not get the death toll in that.
Completely restructured our government.
Martial law, the draft, the income tax, there were draft rights in New York, all the rest of the stuff.
He arrested congressmen who opposed him.
It was amazing when you look at what he did.
And, of course, the death toll for his own personal power because he could not allow somebody to get out from underneath him.
When the entire country was founded on the right of self-governance and the right of secession.
That's what the Declaration of Independence is about.
He took it on and destroyed it.
And so we got our Lincoln, they've got their Mao, and we have politicians that quote Lincoln all the time.
Wouldn't you expect these people would quote Mao?
It truly is amazing, but the leaders who caused so much death and suffering They are remembered more fondly than the people who left them alone.
And we can see this in American history as well.
We can see it in Russian history.
You have Lenin, who is still there in Red Square.
I remember when I interviewed Alexander Dugin.
I thought that they were moving away from communism, and I thought, you know, he was...
And I asked him about that, and he said, well, he said, he's part of our history.
No, we're going to get rid of Lenin in Red Square.
Oh, really?
Okay. Well, we're not going to get rid of Lincoln there at the memorial either, even with his fascist bundle sticks that are there under each hand as they put it there.
Well, so I would expect, and I would not be surprised, that China is referring to Mao.
We quote presidents like Jefferson all the time, but you look at the worship.
The center's around somebody that takes you into a war unnecessarily and gets a lot of Americans killed.
Well, that's Lincoln, and we do the same thing that the Chinese and the Russians do.
But then we had this.
This was put up by Drew Pavlou, and he says, The chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, the FCC, that regulates communications in radio, TV, Internet, satellite, and cable in the United States.
Here's this guy.
Welcome to MAGA Maoism, he says.
Because this guy has got on his lapel pin something that is gold.
They zoomed in on that and look at that.
That is Trump's head and profile.
Just like the Mao pins that people get.
And he puts the Mao pin right underneath the Trump pin.
Here's a close-up of the Trump pin.
There you go.
There's Trump.
Gold, of course.
Gold. And of course, if you want to become, if you want to buy your way into a special American citizenship, where you can be an American citizen, but we won't tax your income outside of the country.
Well, you can buy into that for $5 million, and that's the gold card from Trump.
Everything's gold, gold, gold.
Trump knows where the real value is.
It's not in his meme coins and it's not in his tariffs, that's for sure.
The unstoppable praising and sucking up to Trump reminds me of how the ovations for Stalin would go on for extremely long times because no one would be the first person to stop.
Or North Korea, right?
When the North Korean leader died, you better be out there weeping or –
You never want to be the first person to get over the loss of your dear, glorious leader.
You don't want to be that guy who doesn't, or the guy that's circled in the picture where everybody's raising their arms, Hitler, you know, I owe Hitler, and he's not.
They got him, eventually.
Yeah, they did.
Well, you know, here's where I think we're headed.
Trump Mao.
You know, he's changing his hairstyle all the time, and he's having to compensate for this, so let's just go full Mao.
I always thought it was funny how Mao had that hairstyle as he's going bald.
He, like, overcompensated on the sides, and it goes out there.
I saw some people, Who exaggerated that with Photoshop and called him Mickey Mouse.
You can take those things out there like mouse ears.
So, yeah.
So, when you look at people like Cat Turd, O'Hanley, Benny Johnson, and all this kind of stuff, they have absolutely no credibility at all.
Cat Turd saying, hey, panikins.
Those people who panic.
Is this good or bad?
He included a cry laughing emoji.
As he showed a picture of the market's climb.
Well, you're going to do it today?
Or yesterday for that?
It immediately went down.
He said, in one week, Trump found out who our true allies are.
Yeah, nobody.
We don't have any allies left after Trump has tweaked everybody.
He got everybody angry at him.
Yeah, we found out who our true allies are.
We don't have any at all.
They have a connection with the audience, says Washington Post.
It's distinctly different from the media in the past.
It's because it's not an audience.
It's a cult.
And they are telling them everything that they want to hear.
Their power comes from their proximity and their favored status with the president, says the Washington Post.
That's why I call them Trump suckers.
And they're proxies for him.
They're the Trump sucker proxies.
When the other side, they lose money, it's terrible.
People need to speak up, said a financial YouTuber known as CoffeeZilla.
He said, when it's your guy that you show for, all of a sudden it's, hey, this builds character.
Have you really even lost money when you actually have lost money?
So Justin Amash, the former Republican congressman, said on X, this about-face, shows how some Republicans' political beliefs had morphed under Trump to a view that they once staunchly opposed.
He says, though the GOP platform once called to stop socialists, it is now being preached, the convenience of modern life are overrated.
Your losses are a small sacrifice for the glory of the nation.
Yeah. Make America great leap forward, I guess.
That's where we're headed with Make America Great, Leap Forward.
There you go.
That's the Mao approach.
Now, they also had some fun.
This is largely coming out of China, mocking Trump and his administration.
Show that still picture that they've got there.
They've got wearing workers' clothes.
Of course, Trump has a suit and tie underneath the workers' clothes.
You've got Elon Musk, and you've also got J.D. Vance, and they've got gloves on, and they're working on an assembly line there.
But there's a lot of others.
I thought that this was the best one that was out there.
Nobody knows this better than me.
He's making iPhones.
Now he's sewing.
It's a...
Holding a chainsaw in a very awkward way.
He's working in a toy factory.
He's working in an iPhone factory.
He's now got a chainsaw.
He's working on lumber.
Yeah, well, you'll never see these guys doing an honest day's work.
That's the funniest thing about it.
You're not going to see them assembling anything.
They are destructors.
That's the role of government, is to tax.
In other words, to destroy.
Chinese accounts have been promoting the video amid an increasingly bitter trade war that's now become a meme war.
At least on the Chinese side.
And they've got a song that they did.
An automated female voice singing in a video of China.
State-run English language broadcaster CGTN.
It's over a shot of a woman at a kitchen table staring at an empty fork.
It says, Liberation Day, you promised us the stars, but Tariff killed our cheap Chinese cars.
This is obviously all written by AI, including the lyrics.
But you get the idea.
We're going to take a quick break, and we'll be right back.
Stay with us.
with us.
On Rumble DG8, thank you for the tip.
It says, David, when Trump praised that witch, Gretchen Whitmer, Governor of Michigan, anyone who called him out for it gave a stupid answer.
That's the brilliance of Trump.
Make them feel comfortable before the hammer comes down.
Yeah. Of course, really, you know, they like to show that they're on different sides, but they were pals and buddies and soulmates and on the same side when it came to lockdowns, weren't they?
He kept paying her.
He didn't call her out.
He didn't think that what she was doing was excessive with all of her lockdown tyranny.
She was one of the worst in terms of lockdown tyranny.
They were on the same page.
He was on the same page with Trudeau with all that stuff and with Macron, all these people.
So the tech stocks are continuing to collapse after Trump's disastrous tariff stunt.
One person said, I believe that this is the scariest time I've seen in the market, specifically for U.S. tech.
Now remember, Gerald Salenti has talked for the longest time about.com 2.0 bust.
And also about the commercial real estate issues.
And both of these things are starting to come back with a vengeance now.
And again, you want to get Trends Journal.
He's way ahead of the game.
Code to save 10% off of Trends Journal.
Code is Knight, my name.
Trump's major flip-flop on his aggressive tariff plan had global markets rallying on Wednesday, but analysts warned investors to look out for the dead cat bounce, a term that signifies a brief rebound during a moment of freefall or uncertainty.
Trump announced a 90-day pause of his aggressive so-called reciprocal tariffs.
The administration still implemented a blanket 10% tariff and maintained a steep 145% tariff on Chinese goods.
And again, they have it as 125 because, you know, a couple hours later, he changes it to 145.
Everybody had it down as 125.
Trump dug in his heels.
He escalated the U.S.-Chinese war by raising tariffs on the country from 125 to at least 145 percent, sending the markets reeling yet again because he's acting like a petulant dictator who was offended.
He had to save face, right?
He pulled back from everything else because he had to because of the bond market.
But he's going to show how strong he is by continuing to attack China and then trying, both of them, are trying to Get nations allied with them in an economic war.
China's doing that.
Trump is doing that.
Even the European Union's announcement that it would pause retaliatory tariffs couldn't help keep up yesterday's momentum.
That is Wednesday's momentum.
For a perfect example of a company feeling the hurt, look at Elon Musk's Tesla, the stock which fell by more than 11% on Thursday, yesterday.
It had gone up 22%.
On Wednesday, and then down 11%.
I'm sorry, down 22% on Wednesday, then up 11% on Thursday.
Apple, which had been crushed by tariffs, the Trump tariffs, also experienced major volatility over the past three days and is down by more than 6% today.
AI chipmaker NVIDIA also wiped out much of its Wednesday rally, dropping more than 7% on Thursday.
Amazon also slid by more than 6% yesterday, bringing Wednesday's rally to a screeching halt.
So I wonder what Cat Turn has to say about that.
And I'm not happy to see any of this stuff happening.
And, you know, I'm not a panicking.
I'm not panicking about this, but I think it is beyond foolish, this bullying from Trump.
In many ways, the damage has already been done with the European Union and China now indicating that they are actively looking for less volatile and unpredictable trading partners than the U.S. Chinese officials announced on Thursday that they were still willing to de-escalate Trump's trade war,
despite his abrasive and offensive rhetoric.
So then he went to 145.
And of course, you say they may be looking at insider trading, but then of course, Trump's stuff crashed as well.
So that's going to take the wind out of the sails of Adam Schiff.
But whenever you assume these dictatorial powers, that's always going to bring up the issue of insider trading.
And it should.
And of course, insider trading is rampant in Washington, D.C. As Elon Musk was saying, how do these people who are making like, you know, $150,000 or whatever it is, something like that, and Congress maybe is up to $170,000 now, I guess.
How do these people become multi-multi-millionaires during that?
Especially in an expensive city to live in like Washington, D.C. Again, as we were talking about Gerald Salenti, talking about.com 2.0, the commercial real estate crash.
Listen to this.
This is from Zero Hedge.
One of the largest malls in the U.S. just defaulted on its $300 million mortgage.
New York's largest mall and one of the biggest in the U.S. defaulted on its $300 million mortgage.
They failed to secure an extension when the loan matured June 6th of last year.
And this is what Gerald Slenty has been saying for years.
He said that the lockdown set in process Set in motion a process that was going to lead ultimately to a crash in commercial real estate.
People were not coming back in sufficient numbers.
And he said we weren't going to see it until it came time for these loans to be refinanced.
And he said they're also kicking it down the road as much as they can.
So that it doesn't show up.
They're trying to keep this on the books because it's going to be so damaging for the banks to hold this.
And the commercial real estate thing is going to pull down a lot of banks because it's going to be really large.
So this thing, they needed to refinance this five-year loan or whatever it was.
They needed to redo that in June 6th of last year.
And the bank has been pushing them along since then.
But now that has had to come to a stop.
And he was saying that was going to happen because the bank examiners are going to eventually look at this and say, you've got this bad loan here.
You've been carrying them now for nearly a year.
You're going to have to call it bad.
It's only made interest payments.
They failed to refinance.
They failed to be able to repay the principal as required due in part to the mall's declining value amidst retail closures and e-commerce growth.
Zero Hedge then says, well, we told you about this a month and a half ago.
Well, Gerald Salenti told you about it on Trends Journal years ago.
Years ago.
So they said, we highlighted that the end of quarter four, 2024, commercial real estate continued to exhibit severe weakness with commercial real estate bonds hitting record distress levels, surpassing the previous records reached in the third quarter.
The fourth quarter set a new record.
And then that record is broken in the fourth quarter.
They said commercial mortgage-backed securities saw their distress rate increase to 10.6%.
And actually, they've had a fourth consecutive monthly record.
They've been setting records every month.
Every month, they've been breaking records.
So it really is rolling out now.
Again, if you want to get Trends Journal, Code NIGHT will save you 10% off.
This category, the commercial mortgage-backed securities, comprises approximately $625 billion in outstanding commercial real estate debt.
And it now exhibits a distress rate above 17%.
Also, apartment loan distress is accelerated to 12.5%.
These commercial bonds, real estate bonds, which are generally longer-term and fixed-rate, appear to be woefully insolvent.
Another group of bonds comprising short-term floating-rate commercial real estate loans are even worse.
That's what Gerald Slenty was talking about.
And so, what they were saying was a lot of these are long-term, but because the businesses are going bankrupt, they can't even make interest payments on them.
and then we talk about these short-term ones that's a lot worse because these people bought into this did their real estate development when you had the ideal condition very very very lower interest rates compared to today now the interest rates have gone up significantly
but in response all this we just had the house as i mentioned earlier went through and decided that they were going to pass a big spending bill and they're going to bump the
And Mike Johnson, who is doing this for Trump, he's Trump's little butler there, he calls it a big, beautiful win moving the Trump agenda forward.
That's right.
The vote came after a long night of negotiations between Republican leaders and fiscal hawks, because Republican leaders are not fiscal hawks.
There's a few fiscal hawks.
In the Republican Party, none in the Democrat Party.
But the GOP leadership is not a fiscal responsible, not responsible fiscally.
So the fiscal hawks pushed for deeper spending cuts.
You're going to have to cut spending, but they're not going to do it.
And so as they did all of this stuff, you've got people like Thomas Massey was one who voted against it.
Two Republicans voted against it.
Thomas Massey was one of them.
And the Senate is promising to cut $1.5 trillion sometime in the next 10 years when none of them will be there.
That's the ultimate head fake.
The ultimate kick the can down the road.
They're not going to do anything.
As a matter of fact, the first time the Senate came back, they proposed cuts of $4 billion, not trillion, $4 billion, showing that they're not serious about anything.
When they come back and their first offer is we'll cut it by $4 billion, they say, no, we've got to cut more than that.
Okay, we'll cut $1.5 trillion over 10 years, which means that they're not going to do it at all.
And then what they do is they raise the debt ceiling by $5 trillion because Trump knows that the debt is going to continue to balloon.
So why did Trump pause the tariffs?
Well, I guess we could say it was shocks and bonds, right?
Shocks that went out through Wall Street and all the stocks and all the economy.
And then it was the bond market.
In their first terms, both Bill Clinton and Barack Obama also found themselves knocked back when the bond market rebelled at the cost of some of their strategic priorities.
And, of course, this is one of the reasons why it is so pathetic.
To see these Trump-champers
They owe to Trump and the cult.
And so it's unbelievably disgusting to see how they spin and lie this stuff.
The markets react to these types of positions and the markets have reacted to Obama, to Biden.
As the Trump administration's tariffs went into effect on Wednesday, Bond prices slid, and the yield on two-year Treasury notes rose by as much as 0.3 percentage points, the biggest intraday move since 2009.
That's the key thing.
Huge move.
What was happening in 2009?
You know, the Great Recession?
Such sudden moves can signal that investors are dumping their bonds, and that pushes bond prices lower so they can boost the yields.
And this is what we've seen over and over again.
Why is it that when the Treasury, not the Treasury, but the Federal Reserve, lowers interest rates, when they lower the interest rates and then the home mortgages go up, well, that's because people are looking at the 10-year and the 30-year bonds that are being put out by the U.S. government.
And if the...
Treasury is lowering interest rates, and people see that as being inflationary.
These people don't want to buy something 10 years down the road or 30 years down the road without having a higher interest rate.
And so they go in the opposite direction.
That's why these moves, the last several times that the Federal Reserve has lowered interest rates, has caused home mortgage rates to go up.
And, of course, credit card rates, which are just criminal.
We used to jail people.
We used to jail the mafia for charging people less interest than these credit card companies are charging people now.
So, you know, that and those actually operate in a market.
They have to get people to voluntarily buy those things.
When the Federal Reserve chairman announces that they're going to lower interest rates or whatever they're going to do, he can do that by fiat, just like Trump is setting these tariff rates by fiat.
But then the markets have something to say about that still.
And so such sudden moves can signal that investors are dumping their bonds, and that's what was happening.
Fixed income investors may be starting to worry that the Chinese and other foreigners might start selling their U.S. treasuries.
Said Ed Yardini, who coined the term bond vigilantes in the 1980s to describe fixed income investors who expressed their disapproval of government policies by dumping treasuries, adding that the bond market was cautioning that,
quote, the Trump administration may be playing with liquid nitro.
And it may go boom.
Well, it was actually Japan.
But after Trump announced the tariff pause, Yardini said, well, the bond vigilantes have struck again.
Some Trump administration officials acknowledged that the bond market's hostile reactions to the tariffs influenced the decision to pause the tariffs.
The bond market was telling us, hey, it's probably time to move, said White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett.
As I pointed out and played for you yesterday, Trump also referenced the bonds.
Scott Bessett trying to be a loyal liar.
Oh, we planned all this.
The tariffs, which range from baseline 10% for most nations up to now 145% for Chinese imports, raise the risk of a recession and would likely reignite inflation as well, making everything more expensive.
Investors dumped stocks and bonds as they digested the economic risks of Trump's tariff barrage.
So, the 10% tariffs out there, that's a hidden tax on all of us.
They're going to talk about it.
We're going to make those tax cuts permanent, and we're going to get rid of the tax on tips and stuff like that.
Meanwhile, they add a 10% tariff to the stuff that's coming in, and you're going to pay that.
They don't want you to see that.
They want you to see and to perceive a tax cut, income tax.
While the stock market plunge hurt millions of Americans' retirement savings, Benny Johnson doesn't care.
Don't complain about that.
We've got Trump in the presidency now.
The turmoil in the bond market creates very real pressures on the nation's finances because the Treasury Department pays interest to debt holders.
Any increase in yields puts more financial strain on the nation's coffers.
Long-term interest rates are gapping up even as the stock market moves sharply downwards.
This highly unusual pattern suggests a generalized aversion to U.S. assets and global financial markets.
We are being treated by global financial markets like a problematic emerging market.
Because we've got problems that are emerging in D.C. That's the reality.
In 2024, the U.S. spent more than a trillion dollars to service its debt.
I saw that and I thought, when did, what was the point at which the entire federal budget crossed the trillion dollar mark?
Well, it turns out that the entire federal budget was less than a trillion dollars, the amount that we just paid on interest.
The entire federal budget was less than a trillion dollars in 1987.
1987. How's that for inflation?
How's that for the inflation of government, the inflation of government spending, the devaluation of your currency?
To go from the entire government expenditures.
$1 trillion in 1987.
Now, just the interest on the debt alone is a trillion dollars.
So, you know, and by the way, at that point in time, gold was between $400 and $500 an ounce that year.
Averaged just under $450.
So, Trump was able to resist the stock market sell-off once the bond market began to weaken.
It was only a matter of time before he folded on his eye-watering high tariffs, said Paul Ashworth of Capital Economics.
So it did not stop, by the way.
So he pulls off of this, right?
And everything is good in the bond market.
No, it's not good there either.
The bond market is still sick.
Trump said he was pausing the tariffs for 90 days.
So while the announcement supercharged stocks for one day, it failed to do much for the bonds with long-term attorneys.
The 30-year Treasury yielded its largest three-day increase since the pandemic.
The 10-year yield's three-day gain was the biggest since the summer of 2022.
And again, these are the ones that they key off of to set what the home mortgage rates are going to be, what the credit card rates are going to be, and other things like that.
The bond traders betting on the 10 and 30 year typically take longer term view of the U.S. economy so they continue to assume that inflation is going to continue and elevate in the future.
Boosted by factors such as a tighter stance on immigration, loose fiscal policy in place since the first Trump administration.
speculated that foreign governments have been behind much of the recent selling yes yes and the reason they say that is because they can see the big trades that are happening in the bond market are happening in the time frame of the asian
market they said typically foreign central banks and private investors would buy 88 of the supply allocated to them in the sale but
But they said that, in the last couple of days, and that's above the average of 70%.
So it went from 70% to 88%.
They said, meanwhile, direct bidders like U.S. pension funds were only 1.4%, a record low.
Because normally, they're at 17.5%.
So the foreign buyers are running away from all this stuff, even as they went up.
Investors abroad had sold the longer-term treasuries for three consecutive months.
And so the question is, what are they doing with this?
Well, they are using it to buy gold.
So we see these foreign central banks and foreign governments are dumping their dollars and they're buying gold.
And we've been talking about this for the longest time, Tony Arterman and I. It is a major restructuring of the financial system.
But as I always talk about gold, to me, the most important thing, you know, instead of getting all excited like these Trump influencers about a good day or a bad day for gold or for stocks or for bonds or whatever, I look at it long term and what kind of a financial system they're trying to create.
And it is one of complete surveillance and control.
And I want to get outside of that.
To me, that's the value of gold.
It isn't its value against this currency.
That they're weaponizing and losing control of.
So the biggest downside moves were occurring during Asian hours.
And many people have now traced it to the Japanese who are doing it.
And they're not doing it to punish America.
They're doing it because it makes economic sense for them to do it.
So Trump promised to make America affordable again and have yet these higher 10-year yields on which people's mortgages and credit cards and other things are based.
It's not going to do that.
And it's not going to stop the stock market from falling, says Goldman Sachs.
Already, stocks on Thursday were giving back a chunk of the gains recorded on Wednesday's historic session.
Analysts at Goldman Sachs said they saw an elevated risk that the stocks would fall even further.
After a significant drawdown in the market in recent weeks,
So gold is the everything hedge.
Again. And as I said, gold went up to an all-time high breaking $3,200 an ounce yesterday.
And if you want to get out of this system, Go to DavidKnight.Gold.
Take your Tony Arterman's Wise Wolf Gold.
You can start getting out of it on a regular basis.
And he goes down to $50 and up to several thousand you can do on a monthly basis if you want.
Or you can do a one-time purchase.
Or you can just buy whatever you want, gold or silver.
He'll work with you that way as well.
If you want to get your IRA or something out of stocks and things like that and into gold and silver, you can do that as well.
He can help you to do that.
So, the world is getting rid of dollars.
Peter Schiff is saying that.
And Tony has been saying that for a very long time as well.
So, Peter Schiff put out a video.
He said, Today the price of gold rose by better than $100 an ounce.
This was the biggest one-day dollar increase.
And the price of gold and the history of gold.
In fact, gold was up better than $100 even before Trump announced that he was pausing the global trade war that he launched last week.
And so that was on the day that the stock market did that.
And then, of course, the stock market's now gone down, but gold has continued to go up.
Now, once that news came out, said Schiff, there was a big rally in the stock market.
Gold initially surrendered some of those gains, but it quickly recovered, closing back near the highs under $3,100 an ounce.
He said, I think the president and his advisors tried to find a way to surrender, but to make it appear as if they were declaring victory.
Of course, and they've got all of the influencers out there to tell you that it really was a win, but it's not a win.
And the importance of these prices Gold is an indication of what people are doing, moving away from the dollar.
Just like as we see central banks accumulating gold, that's telling you it's not so much, well, the price of gold.
If you want to be a day trader or something like that, I don't know, gold is probably not your thing.
You probably want to get into something that's even more volatile.
If you want to be a day trader, trade stocks or trade Bitcoin or something like that.
This volatility and what we see is really a reflection of the restructuring of the financial system, and what is coming is going to be really horrible, and you want to get out of that.
The reason we have these horrific trade deficits, said Schiff, is because as a nation we spend too much and we save too little.
And so because we don't save enough and we don't make capital investments to build up the factories and the supply chains and the infrastructure, we have to rely on those factories abroad for goods that we can't produce.
Well, of course, there's a lot of things that were deliberately orchestrated into this, and people understand that, and that's what they're talking about when they talk about the unfairness.
The China price, which now includes the world's cheapest energy, which has been handed to them on a silver platter by the UN and the Paris Climate Accord of 10 years ago.
Though he appreciates Trump's stated goal to reducing deficits, he says the tariffs will have just the opposite effect.
He said, tariffs, that is taxes, folks, place an extra burden on the American consumers and businesses.
And that is going to tip the economy further into stagflation.
He said, so while I admire Trump's stated goal, he is not going to come close to achieving it.
In fact, tariffs that he's already imposed are going to backfire.
And they're going to make the American economy even less competitive than it was before the tariffs.
There is no external revenue.
No such thing.
It is all internal.
This is a tax hike on the average American, and it is a stealth tax hike.
That's what I'm saying.
Just like they're doing with CBDC.
We're not going to do CBDC.
Well, around the back door, they're going to do their stablecoin thing.
Oh, we're going to have tariffs instead of you paying taxes.
That's the biggest sucker lie I've ever seen in my life.
How many times have Republicans mocked that when it came from Democrats?
And yet when it comes from Trump, who, by the way, is a Democrat, they buy it.
So there's no such thing as external revenue.
It's all internal.
And this tax hike on average Americans is going to weigh down an already weak economy.
And so we're going to have a bigger dose of stagflation, he said.
And yet, on the inflation side, we have the Republicans jumping in with raising the debt ceiling by $5 trillion.
Again, We're talking about a $43 trillion debt ceiling.
You know, you go back to 1987.
Why do I do that?
Because that was the first time that we crossed the government spending a trillion dollars in a year.
And now, just the interest on the debt cost us a trillion dollars.
In 1987, the debt was $2.4 trillion.
These guys are going to raise it.
They took the ceiling off.
You know it's not going to take long for them to top up the tank.
And then they're going to be scrambling around, we've got to take the ceiling off of the debt.
All the rest of the stuff.
Well, they add another $5 trillion to what we've got now.
You're talking about $43 trillion.
And it's going to come on us in just a couple of years.
If it takes that long.
And I don't think that it will take that long.
Immediately, Trump is putting more stuff on his credit card with a trillion dollar military budget.
Yeah, in 1987, the entire budget of the entire government was a trillion dollars.
Now we're going to spend that just at the Pentagon.
And it is full of waste, fraud, abuse, and mission creep.
Doing things that we don't have any business doing.
So it's Thomas Massey, Victoria Spartz out of Indiana, the two that voted against this.
Only two holdouts.
They said there were about 20 Republicans who were looking at this, House Freedom Caucus especially, but then they were Assuaged by the fact that the Senate, which originally didn't want to cut any more than $4 billion.
I mean, that's nothing.
That's nothing.
That's one thousandth of what they're spending there.
So they promised that they would cut $1.5 trillion, but do it over 10 years.
What a joke.
What a joke.
These people are not serious about any of this stuff.
But Johnson says...
We can move forward on President Trump's very important agenda for the American people.
Same kind of agenda he had for his bankrupt casinos.
Tax relief, tax reductions, we have to make those tax cuts permanent.
So what's he talking about?
DC Drano, cat turd.
He's talking about keeping the income tax, of course.
How many times do I have to say it?
While they add these backdoor taxes.
At least 10%.
On everything.
And so in response, Trump called out these people who were pushing back against this fiscal insanity.
He said, this is a phenomenal bill.
Stop grandstanding.
Trump telling other people not to grandstand?
Goldman says, Pours a lot of cold water, especially on the AI hype, and this is one of the things that's taking down the stock market.
In reality, this is one of the reasons why Gerald Slenty said it's going to be.com 2.0 bust.
They got way out ahead of their expectations.
On artificial intelligence, just like they did with the dot-com thing.
Yes, the internet is huge.
It's used by everybody for pretty much everything.
And AI is going to continue to get big.
But they have hyped it so much that just like when we had the dot-com bust, they got way ahead of reality.
And at some point, because they're all like a bunch of lemmings, somebody looks at it and says, wait a minute, this isn't happening yet.
And then they all panic and they run out the door or run over the cliff or whatever.
And that's what we're starting to see happening with this.
From the unveiling of China's ultra-cheap deep-seek rival to ChatGPT to Microsoft's global pullback on AI data center projects and Alibaba's chairman warning about an AI infrastructure investment bubble in the U.S.,
the warning signals are flashing red.
The AI data center boom may be set to deflate.
It's a bubble.
And it wasn't even a year ago.
That's Zero Hedge's comments.
It wasn't even a year ago that Zero Hedge was saying, this is the way you play AI.
It's an even better play than NVIDIA.
Go out and buy stocks and the people that they're going to be using to build the AI data center power structures.
Well, that didn't last too long, did it?
And I've said this even longer.
I said this is going to be a dot-com bust even longer.
So, driven by more efficient large language models, this could be enough for Goldman's James Schneider and others to revise their peak data center capacity forecast forward from late 2026.
And that's what they're saying.
So they said there's three key uncertainties for AI data centers.
Weak monetization from consumer-facing AI services.
In other words, they haven't figured out how to make money from it yet.
It took a very long time for the Internet people to make money.
And, of course, as they were offering free services to get you hooked on YouTube, to get you hooked on social media, that was all being subsidized by the U.S. government through In-Q-Tel and other government subsidies, In-Q-Tel being the CIA.
So, they're not making money yet on the consumer-facing AI services.
There's potential oversupply from large AI infrastructure projects, increased efficiency from smaller corporate-targeted LLMs.
And so, again, the hype got way ahead of itself.
And then one last thing, which is what's going to happen with robot rogue traders.
This is an article in the Daily Star saying, you know, these robot rogue traders could rule the world and make bankers even richer.
Now what they mean by robot rogue traders, what they mean is AI agents.
That's something that you're going to be hearing more and more about.
Being able to give the, you know, we've talked a lot about the chat programs and things like this, but the AI agents, you tell them, I want you to And you give it a complex task, and it works out all the different aspects on its own.
For example, one of the things that you see is an AI agent taking the place of a real estate agent, for example.
Somebody saying, I want to live in this particular city.
Here's my budget.
Here's my requirements, the size of my family, where I work, and all the rest of this stuff.
And it cranks through all these different things and comes up with some properties that meet your criteria just very, very quickly.
Or you have it rearrange the furniture.
In your home, things like that.
So it's different than a chat program.
And it can do a chain of, you know, something that would have to essentially be a chain of tasks.
It can chain all that stuff together.
So artificial intelligence programs could manipulate the markets by creating intentional crises.
Intentionally doing it.
Because they said they can work out that, because our politicians have worked this out a long time ago, that if you create a crisis, You can manipulate people and you can manipulate the market and you can make a lot of money.
You can create a crisis that dumps the market so then you can go in and buy it.
And that's what J.P. Morgan and other people like him have done for the longest time.
Or you can have inside information about a crisis, which is what the Rothschilds did.
With a crisis, you can time this.
It's kind of like having insider trading.
If you can create the crisis, and that's what they're saying, these AI agents could create a financial crisis so they could profit from it.
In other words, they could start acting like politicians and bankers.
Robot rogue traders could rule the world, making bankers even richer, experts have warned.
As a matter of fact, there was, I think it was in New Zealand, some guy said, we've got to start thinking about if we could replace politicians with...
AI. It's like, oh, they're good at lying.
They can create crises to enrich their power and all the rest of this stuff.
So yeah, I think they're already well on their way to replacing politicians, frankly.
They could spark a 2008-style banking crisis.
Humans could be unaware of what they're up to.
AI's ability to, quote, exploit profit-making opportunities, unquote.
Something that they're worried about in the city.
The Daily Star is coming out of the UK.
They talk about the London city, that central area there with all the finance.
They just call it the city, just like they call the London Times.
They call it the Times.
There isn't any other city.
There isn't any other Times.
They said advanced AI models deployed to act with more autonomy, that's the agents, could go rogue.
Is it rogue if they're just trying to maximize their power and money?
Are they just acting like a politician?
Models might learn that these stress events increase their opportunity to make profit.
Stress events, you mean like telling everybody that you're going to raise tariffs and then pull the rug out from underneath them or whatever, lower them?
Yeah, that kind of thing.
So you take action actively to increase the likelihood of such events.
AI could facilitate collusion or other forms of market manipulation without the human manager's intention or awareness.
It just cut out the politicians in the middle.
Bots are increasingly being used by financial companies as well to develop new investment strategies.
And when we talk about that, what we're talking about is new deceptions.
New deceptions.
These new innovations.
You know, like the securitizing of mortgages.
Like the tokenizing of all assets.
You know, those types of things.
Those scams.
Out of Wall Street, now these bankers, which are constantly ripping people off?
Yeah, they can do that as well.
As a matter of fact, they said half of all the patents for new financial plans, in other words, schemes, schemes, things like the tokenization, the securitization of mortgages and so forth, that's all, half of those are now,
more than half, are now being produced by AI.
AI's already coming up with criminal schemes.
Who needs Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan when you've got AI to come up with criminal schemes?
This type of scenario was seen in the 2008 global financial crisis, where a debt bubble was fueled by the collective mispricing of risk.
No, it was deliberate.
They deliberately hid the risk of this stuff.
I group all this stuff together.
The ETFs, securitized mortgages, the tokenization that they want to do to everything, these are all schemes designed to, as kind of a casino game, to separate you from your money.
That's the reality.
We are all dead, says a consumption tax, which a tariff is.
It's just another name for a carbon tax.
That's right.
And they'll get more fine-tuned on it when they get their stablecoin.
On Rumble, DGA, thank you for the tip, says David, when Trump Praised that?
Oh, we had that one already.
Okay, so we're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back.
piano plays softly
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
I'll talk a little bit about the climate stuff as well.
And something that we haven't talked about before, actually Marky Mark would always say, hydrogen isn't going to work.
It's incredibly expensive.
We've got a lot of technical issues.
We're going to lay out some of those, some of the issues with what they call green hydrogen.
But before we do, I just want to thank some of the people who have sent in checks on the first week of April that I've not mentioned before, because these are the people that keep this show going.
Pandit L, thank you very much, and I appreciate the $1 that you added there.
I take that as like you add a penny for somebody when they do a tip, so I appreciate that.
Thank you.
Mike M. Thank you.
And Mike also sent a contribution.
He sent this piece of silver here, which is actually a chess piece.
It says, The Knight.
And I know you can't see that, but it's a chess board, and it's got a knight chess piece there, and it says The Knight on it.
That's cool.
Dale L., Matthew H., Christopher S., Christopher M., Dan S., Marty K., Bruce W., Gary B., Tom, Nancy, Abby, and Sammy, Thank you.
Gonzalo M., Joel B., HD from North Carolina, Gary and Susie M., TK from Ohio, Yolanda G., Scott and Samantha T., and Leslie B. Thank you so much, all of you.
And we will be updating the gas gauge with that.
Let's talk a little bit about the climate.
As I said, the UN said that rising sea levels due to global warming, we've heard that, Nations off the face of the earth by the year 2000.
The year 2000.
Not 20 anything.
2000. That projection was made in 1989.
And this is from Exposé News, which dug that out.
It's always good to go back and look at the alarmism and the nonsense that's being told to us because these people continue to do this.
On and on and on.
In 1989, a senior UN environmental official named Noel Brown...warned that entire nations could be wiped off the face of the earth by rising sea levels if global warming trend was not reversed by the year 2000.
25 years ago.
Coastal flooding, crop failures would create an exodus of eco-refugees.
Except that Obama, Biden, all these people are buying...
There's actually websites that show what areas they think were going to be underwater.
And Obama and company were buying...
Seashore mansions and areas that their advisors were saying was going to be underwater.
They never believed any of this stuff.
Coastal flooding, crop failures would create an exodus of eco-refugees, threatening political chaos.
Well, we have refugees, and they're threatening political chaos, but it's not because of ecology.
So that was out of the New York office of the UN Environment Program that he was running at the time.
He said the government's had a 10-year window.
This is 1989.
Gotta get it done by 1999.
Because in 2000, it's gonna be too late.
Of course, even though that didn't come true, they still pushed that stuff out.
And so, it was reported by AP.
29th of June, 1989.
The Associated Propagandist, of course.
A senior UN official, they said at the time, says that entire nations could be wiped off the face of the earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000.
As the warming melts polar ice caps, ocean levels will rise by up to three feet.
Enough to cover the Maldives and other flat island nations, he told the Associated Press in an exclusive interview.
Coastal regions will be inundated.
The Obamas will be flooded.
The UNEP estimates that it would cost the U.S. at least $100 billion to protect its east coast alone.
Shifting climate patterns would bring back 1930s dust bowl conditions to Canadian and U.S. wheatlands.
Dogs and cats living together.
Yeah. They end with this.
The most conservative scientific estimate That the Earth's temperature will rise 1 to 7 degrees in the next 30 years, he said.
No, that was a flat-out lie.
A lot of people were saying that it wasn't going to happen.
And there's a picture at the end of that article.
Can you show that?
Yeah, scroll down there.
UN rising sea levels, disaster for all.
That's the UN was putting that out.
And the guy there in the suit and on there says, our sinking planet.
Not shrinking, our sinking planet.
Well, in Scotland, they have a massive industrial hub that they're going to grind to nothing.
And the Labour government, which is de-industrializing that country very, very quickly, because they want you to own nothing, and they want you to do nothing, and so you can't have an oil refinery like they've had in Scotland for quite some time.
And Grangemouth...
The oil refinery.
So we've got to have a green future for that.
So they said, we've got to think of what we're going to do to keep people who have been working at that factory working in some kind of a technical capacity.
Well, I think we can pour three and a half billion pounds into that one area.
And we could do something.
They've got nine proposals of feasibility for things they could do.
We could recycle plastic.
Except there's no market for that.
And we could ferment timber into bioethanol.
These people are out of their minds.
Or we could do hydrogen production.
None of these things are economical, and they're not going to work, and there's no demand for it.
So they said, well, if we did that by 2040, we could add 800 jobs after we've...
Destroyed thousands in the meantime.
This is what the government's always doing.
You could always change things, right?
But the government demands that you do it right now.
Right now.
Do this right now.
We committed to leaving no stone unturned and supporting an industrial future for Grangemouth.
Yeah, right.
No, this is about de-industrialization.
And that has been the long-term plan for China.
This is a big part of why we have this offshoring of everything to China.
It was deliberate by our government and by other governments to advantage them.
Yes, they've got their China price thing, but they were given a lot of advantages as well.
Grangemouth is home to over a century of industrial expertise and employs thousands of highly skilled workers.
We're going to take away all their jobs, and maybe in another 15 years, we might get 800 of them back.
If our hydrogen produced
No. Now, as a matter of fact, they're pushing really, really hard in Scotland because it's got very leftist Marxist governments, and they love this kind of centralized control and central planning.
They're pushing net zero nation indoctrination program through the schools, through the teachers that are there.
Yeah, the Great Leap Forward for Mao's Scotland, right?
That's what Sheevan Fleet talked about.
She said, Mao's America, a survivor's warning.
Well, we ought to warn Scotland about this.
This is, again, a kind of Great Leap Forward plan of central planning, and it's a plan to kill everybody.
And how are they going to roll it out and get everybody happy with this?
Well, through their re-education camps, which is what the government schools are.
The government schools are re-education camps.
The net zero nation public engagement strategy for climate change.
A framework designed by the Scottish government to engage the people of Scotland in a transition to net zero.
Which means that you'll own nothing.
Net zero is what you're going to own.
Five categories of participation in the public participation spectrum.
We will inform.
We will consult.
We will involve.
We will collaborate.
We will empower.
No, they're going to take away your power.
That's what this is all really about.
So, when we look at what is happening with the energy issues, hang on a second here, this is the reply from Frank Lassie.
He says, kill them all.
Kill them all.
He doesn't mean the people.
He means all these projects.
Stop wasting our money on green pipe dreams.
And he talks about green hydrogen.
European energy expert Samuel Farfari sums up the green hydrogen perfectly.
He says it's like burning Louis Vuitton handbags for heat.
And we've got a lot of similar schemes, right?
Pick your luxury consumer item and burn it for heat.
And that's what a lot of these things are about.
He said, because it is so expensive.
Federal law allocated $9.5 billion for green hydrogen hubs, and the Orwellian-named Inflation Reduction Act expanded tax subsidies.
Even with massive taxpayer subsidies, green hydrogen is a money loser.
Leftists claim that green hydrogen is a way to replace batteries for transportation.
It is at least five times more expensive.
Oh. That's a way to get us all to net zero.
We own nothing and they own everything, right?
Which doesn't include all of the extra costs associated with production of natural gas, such as purifying massive amounts of water, which takes about 13 times more water than the hydrogen it produces.
Desalinization is an additional cost.
Putting these processes anywhere, they'll need to compete for water resources.
And it's just plain stupid.
Infrastructure costs are astounding because we currently have none.
It's like all the electric...
People complain about charging stations.
Oh, there's zero infrastructure for the green hydrogen stuff.
And it is not suitable for pipelines because it escapes very easily and it embrittles metal and it is prone to explode.
Well, there we go.
I mean, now we have something comparable to the EV batteries.
Prone to explode.
And of course, they just look the other way if they want to push you into this.
They don't care about the cost.
They don't care about the efficiency.
They don't care about the safety of any of this stuff.
I mean, you've got Elon Musk pushing these big battery energy storage sites, and that's a massive fire hazard.
Green hydrogen is an excessive waste of money, and it is never.
Never been made at scale, even after tens of billions of dollars spent by Europeans, Australians, and the United States.
And why is that?
Well, it said, we've got a lot of issues.
If they're going to change all the power over to wind and solar, you're not going to have enough of this for the hydrogen plants because they're very power hungry.
But then it said, it requires that you take pure water and you heat it up to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
And then you apply electricity.
See all the energy so far?
Oh, it gets worse.
This cracks the hydrogen and oxygen molecules, and the hydrogen is then chilled to 420 degrees Fahrenheit below zero.
So they go from 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit to minus 420 in different areas.
And it takes a lot of energy to get to those extreme temperatures on both ends.
And then that turns it into a liquid.
Then it is finally compressed to 10,000 psi, comparable to three times the average scuba tank, or compressed natural gas.
Without this chilling and compression, hydrogen only has one-tenth the energy per volume as natural gas.
So why not use natural gas?
Yeah, exactly.
Why not use it?
Well, they tell us we can't because it's got some, oh, it's got greenhouse gases in it.
Yeah. That's how the fundamental thing at the root of all this insanity is this panic over CO2.
That's why we have to address the root issue of the CO2 stuff.
BP canceled 18 hydrogen projects because they were unprofitable.
All in an effort.
To save $200 million a year.
Shell canceled a Norway hydrogen project and others for lack of demand.
But you know, the interesting thing is, Toyota is betting on this.
Toyota is working on hydrogen engines.
And again, I don't care.
I don't care whether it's electric or whether it's running from gasoline or whether it's running from hydrogen.
Whatever you want to do, that's fine.
Just make sure that A, we can afford it.
B, it doesn't take forever to fill up and on and on.
But, you know, it's got to be affordable.
And there's a lot of bugs that need to be worked out of all of these things.
And they don't have the patience to do it.
They want to move fast and break things.
Because they want to take us to net zero.
That's the bottom line.
So... What I was talking about earlier with the AI agents.
Wally Walrus says, yeah, AI agents of chaos.
Chaos agents.
We better get smart.
We better not have any smart devices here.
Hi, Boost.
AI Congress.
Would they have to do what their constituents wanted?
Whistler says, no, they'll do what their programmers and stakeholders want.
That's exactly right.
James Faithways says, hi, David, I just purchased A one-time payment for the Warrior Wolf and the Lone Wolf under your DavidKnight.gold.
Well, thank you for doing that, and I hope it works out well for you.
But again, as I said, I think the most important thing is for us to get out of this system that they're trying to set up.
But financially, right now they've created a house of cards.
And that's why people have historically moved to gold to try to get something that is outside of those systems.
Well, we've got more to say about AI.
And as I said at the beginning of the program, it's a very important issue.
I think that AI may help us actually to define what being human is, to find the foundation of human rights, and to see what it means to be created in the image of God.
We'll be right back.
be right back.
back.
Making sense.
Common again.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
The David Knight Show.
Well, a real octo-spook says the biggest trading is already being done with bots.
Nanosecond actions that cannot be done by human traders.
I agree.
And of course, this automated trading I think what they were talking about in that article,
Was the fact that AI could develop a malicious strategy to try to manipulate the markets in a completely different way.
That could, you know, in a malicious way, pull back and say, well, the best way that I can handle this, instead of just reacting as a program would, the best way that I could handle this would be to engineer a collapse.
And that's, I think, When we look at Trump, people talking about this being insider trading, I think that this is engineered chaos.
I think there's malicious reasons behind it.
That could be part of it.
But I think that they want to collapse the economy because that's in their political interest.
They want to build it back in their way.
Let's take a look at some news here.
This is an interesting change.
The Transportation Secretary Duffy, Sean Duffy, went to the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy.
And, of course, he's the Department of Transportation Secretary.
The U.S., I guess, Merchant Marine Academy is underneath the Department of Transportation.
And so these are young people who are learning to do commercial shipping and that type of thing, rather than the Navy as a military thing.
And so...
He got a lot of cheers and applause in that speech.
He was telling them how important he thought they were, how good-looking they were, and he gets a lot of cheers from them.
But then he gets the, listen to what gets the biggest cheers.
And so I just, I want you to know that I understand the conditions here and I am going to fight my ass off.
To make sure you all get the respect and the money that this academy deserves.
And so...
A lot of applause, but wait for it.
You are a great-looking bunch of young people.
And so with that, as you all go into your careers, God bless you, may God keep you safe.
Can we bring Jesus up from the basement?
Let's not bring Jesus in the basement.
Listen, bring him up.
I know what you hear about now.
You brought Jews up, right?
Great.
That's the loudest applause we got.
We are going to work on that together and funding for the Academy.
May God bless you all.
Stay safe.
Who was it that put Jesus in the basement?
It was the previous Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
And of course that makes perfectly good sense why he put him in the basement.
His father, as I've mentioned before, Booty Gay Sr., whatever his first name is, was an immigrant from Malta, and he was a communist.
He spent his entire career at Notre Dame pushing Antonio Gramsci, who was the father of the Italian Communist Party, but more importantly...
He was the one who said, instead of having a communist revolution, a violent revolution like we saw in Russia, for example, or in China, what we need to do in America is we need to march through the institutions.
We need to take over all the institutions from the top.
That was his strategy.
So Pete Buttigieg grows up with a father like that who gets him to go to Harvard to study under Sockman Berkovich.
He changed his first name legally to Sakvan to honor the Italian communists Sacco and Vanzetti who were executed.
And they became heroes to the left who said that they were wrongfully executed for a murder that happened.
But either way, they're heroes of the communists and the leftists, Sacco and Vanzetti.
So he changed his first name.
His thesis, over and over again, everything that Berkovich is about is about attacking America's Christian heritage.
Every problem, Vietnam, whatever it is, is always about this leftover mentality from the Puritans, he said.
And so that's where, you know, Pete Buttigieg's influence is.
His mentor at Harvard, his father at Notre Dame.
And so he was the secretary of...
And under his administration, they took this large painting of Jesus that was done in 1942 and they removed it and put it down in the basement.
It was a massive 10 foot by 19 foot painting that was titled Christ on the Water, completed in 1942 by an artist, L.T. Hunter Wood.
He was with the Merchant Marines.
It depicts an image of Jesus and merchant seamen adrift in a lifeboat, presumably after being torpedoed in the Indian Ocean during World War II.
He didn't like that there.
Well, the new Bankster Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney, who was never elected, he was never elected anything, let alone Prime Minister, he is now vowing to provide sterilizing puberty blockers to children without exception.
Mark Carney has promised to continue the liberal legacy of pushing sterilizing puberty blockers on children without exception.
On April the 8th, he proclaimed his dedication to furthering the LGBT agenda by committing to protect the so-called fundamental right to irreversible drugs and surgeries for Canadians.
Again, why is it that these satanic leftist communist Technocrats, depopulationists.
Well, the technocrats are not necessarily depopulationists.
Why do they always embrace this LGBT agenda?
Well, it's because it is.
Satanic. He said access to health care is a fundamental right.
So then the media questioned if he would include LGBT rights under the Canadian Health Act.
Considering the recently passed Alberta legislation which prevents minors from taking irreversible puberty blockers or undergoing gender reassignment surgeries.
So he's there in Alberta.
Conservative Alberta.
I said, you're not going to do this to minors.
They don't have the judgment to do this.
Just like you're not going to let them drive cars, own guns, drink alcohol.
You're not going to let them mutilate their bodies.
They don't have the judgment for that.
Well, Carney repeated that he would defend the fundamental right to access gender transitioning drugs and surgeries without exception.
Yeah, the problem is that children don't have rights because they can't be responsible.
And all this stuff about children's rights and all this stuff about attacking parents is based on that.
We have in Colorado, the leftist demoncrats there are now saying that parents who are opposed to transing kids are like the KKK.
And they have a bill that is moving its way through the Colorado legislature that is going to criminalize what they call dead naming and other things like that.
So, a Colorado state lawmaker is likening parental rights groups opposing a bill that, if passed and signed into law, could lead to removing children from their parents' custody if they oppose transgenderism.
The lawmaker said such parents were akin to the KKK.
Colorado Republican State Representative Jarvis Caldwell.
Shared audio from an April 1st Colorado House of Representatives Judiciary Committee meeting where lawmakers were debating a House bill.
The bill has wide-ranging implications and is designed to give wide deference to several aspects of LGBT ideology.
He said, we heard from multiple witnesses that this bill has been worked on for over a year.
But he said he hadn't even heard about it until a day earlier.
He says, I'm really curious about how much in the hearing on the committee, he says, I'm really curious about how much stakeholdering went on both sides of the issue and if parent groups that are not part of the LGBT community,
if they were involved.
I really hate this stakeholder stuff.
This is World Economic Forum speak from Herr Klaus and his ilk.
Let's stop talking about stakeholders.
Because you will never be considered to be a stakeholder.
And that's what this Democrat said.
Democrat Representative Yara Zoki responded by asserting, a well-stakeholded bill does not need to be discussed with hate groups.
And we don't ask someone passing civil rights legislation to go ask the KKK their opinion.
Oh, so we don't care.
parents are not stakeholders when we're talking about parental when we're talking about families they're people that we hate they're the kkk they bring this race into as they always do and we see the right is doing that now well you
disagree with
Well, then you're anti-Semitic.
Play the race card.
Always, right?
So Democrat State Representative Javier Moroni agreed.
He said, I agree.
There's no reason to go to the table with people who are echoing the hateful rhetoric going around about the trans community.
So the House bill in Colorado ultimately passed.
It's a Democrat-controlled Colorado.
38 to 20 on Sunday.
The vote for the legislation fell along party lines.
It is also known as the Kelly Loving Act.
It's so loving, isn't it?
Loving. It defines coercive control.
Now, listen to this.
Listen to their definition of coercive control and see if this doesn't sound to you more like government than parents.
A pattern of threatening, humiliating, intimidating actions, including assaults or other abuse that is used to harm, punish, or frighten an individual.
That's government.
They just signed their own death warrant.
That's a stock and trade.
I'll just repeat that.
A pattern of threatening, of humiliating, of intimidating actions.
I mean, this is like Trump as well.
He definitely embodies this.
Including assaults or other abuse that is used to harm, punish, or frighten an individual.
And so, then they gave their example.
You know, like dead naming or misgendering.
What? What?
The legislation defines dead naming As, quote, purposefully and with the intent to disregard the individual's gender identity or gender expression, using their birth name rather than their chosen name.
Well, I gotta say, they got some of that right.
When I deadname somebody like Bruce Gender, I'm not gonna call him Caitlin.
He's Bruce.
Call me Bruce.
Movie about that.
But when I call him Bruce Gender instead of Caitlyn Jenner, I'm doing that purposefully.
I am.
And I am purposefully disregarding this gender nonsense.
Gender is no different from sex.
They're not two different things.
There's only sex, and there's two genders.
They said, likewise, the measure defines misgendering.
As purposefully and with intent to disregard the individual's gender identity.
Yeah, I do it purposefully and with disregard of the nonsense, and I will not regard that.
And that should not be a crime.
That is the exercise, the free exercise of speech, the free exercise of my religious beliefs.
How dare you call that a crime?
You're the criminals.
The legislation directs courts in the state to determine the allocation of parental responsibilities, including parenting time and decision-making, and responsibilities and recording with the best interest of the child, giving paramount considerations to the child's safety and the physical, mental,
and emotional conditions and needs of the child.
Yeah, and you know, parents can do that way better than any government or school, can't they?
The Gender Affirming Health Care Service refers to, of course, mutilation and sterilization.
That's what they're talking about.
Got to do that to the kids.
Well, this is the article that I had talked about, and it's written by Ellen Hayes.
And I think it's an excellent article.
How AI proves our need for God.
Artificial intelligence, she says, is impressive.
It's creepy impressive.
It can write a term paper in 30 seconds, it can design your dream kitchen, it can replicate the greatest artwork in history in a blink, and of course it can animate it and make it move and talk and all the rest of this stuff, right?
It's moving fast and it's getting smarter, and depending on who you ask, it might one day replace everything from customer service reps to your therapist.
We've all heard all this stuff.
However, there's some things that it can't do, she says.
It can't fall in love.
It can't feel awe.
It can't choose to forgive.
It can't stare at the stars and ask, why me?
It doesn't want anything, and it doesn't care.
And that's the point.
See, all those things are the things that make us human.
And even though they can fake falling in love or obsession or things like that, we saw that from the very beginning.
Why don't you ditch your wife and come with me and that type of stuff.
We saw that put out in the movie Her that had Joaquin Phoenix in it.
And Ray Kurzweil really liked that because it kind of humanized AI and that type of thing.
No, it's nonsense.
It's science fiction.
It can imitate that.
It can look at scripts and books and things like that and it can imitate things, but it's not real.
It's not real.
It is a lie.
She said, she referenced a book that was written by Brian Trilley, and he was a co-author in it.
The book is called Soulless Intelligence, How AI Proves That We Need God.
AI isn't going to become sentient.
It isn't going to wake up.
And the fact that it can't, that gap between what it can do and what it will never be is exactly where we see the evidence of God.
And I think this is what's going to clarify what humans being made in the image of God is really about.
It's going to clarify what it means to be human.
And the guy who wrote this book is somebody who he and his brother, Greg, have spent years working in the field, in machine learning, in computer vision.
They've built AI tools.
They've run top-tier training programs.
They've seen firsthand how powerful the technology can be and how it works.
Somewhere along the line, however, Brian started asking the kind of questions that Silicon Valley doesn't like to answer.
These are questions about souls, about meaning, about consciousness, and about what it means to be us.
When I interviewed Zoltan Isvan of the Transhumanist Party, that's exactly what I asked him.
I said, so you're going to transfer yourself into a machine at some point in the future, right?
You're going to become a cyborg.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm going to do that.
Okay, what are you?
What is it that you're transferring into that machine?
He couldn't answer it.
This person says, people like Ray Kurzweil and Sam Altman genuinely believe that we'll be able to upload our minds to machines and live forever.
They think we're just patterns of information.
But if that were true, and listen to this, we wouldn't see things like terminal lucidity.
What do they mean by that?
They mean dying Alzheimer's patients who suddenly Become lucid right before death.
How did that happen?
I mean, if we're all just mechanical things and the mechanical stuff is breaking because of Alzheimer's, you've got these things clogging your brain and you can't think, well, then, of course, you should not be able to somehow recover that right before death.
Or you've got people who have only 5% of a brain who score above average on IQ tests.
Remember that young child who was born like almost all the back of the head was missing?
Or similar things, where you have slime moles doing advanced math without a nervous system.
So, if you think the brain is the only thing that makes us us, you've got a lot of explaining to do, she said.
Brian says, the guy who wrote the book, He says there's something more.
There's part of us that no machine can replicate.
Something that is immaterial.
Something that is eternal.
Something like a soul.
He says AI is helping us to see what makes us human by failing to be human.
For all of its logic, for all of its speed, for all of its ability to mimic thought.
It still can't choose to be kind.
It can't desire goodness.
It can't cry when a friend dies, or get goosebumps from a song, or fall to its knees in gratitude.
And it never will.
Think about that.
That's what it is to be uniquely human.
Animals don't do that.
AI doesn't do that.
And think about the fact that if that's what it means to be in the image of God, That's what God's like.
He says it's not just a philosophical point.
It's a spiritual one.
We try to recreate ourselves in silicon.
And it becomes more obvious that we are not just brains in meat suits.
We are image bearers of God.
And the image of God includes free will, moral agency, a hunger for beauty and truth and justice.
And these things don't run on code.
AI will never set its own goals.
It doesn't have desires.
It doesn't have a will.
You can lock it in a digital cage and it won't care.
But a human in solitary confinement?
That's torture.
Why? Because we're in the image of God, which means that we want connection.
We want meaning.
Transcendence. That is your soul that is talking.
We're not just looking at an ethical dilemma here.
We're looking at a worldview divide.
Either we are programmable machines, brains in a meat suit, or we are sacred beings.
Either way, the value comes from what we can do, or it's rooted in something that is much deeper, something that is uncopyable.
And folks, you know, when we look at people like B.F. Skinner talking about beyond freedom and dignity, We say some lives...
that exist on a spectrum, then you're saying that some lives matter less than others.
This is how we get to the position of abortion.
This is how we get to the position of euthanasia.
We say some lives
are more valuable than others.
Because we're looking at things that are on a spectrum.
So we're going to make an arbitrary decision at some point that, no, you don't matter.
And we've even seen so-called ethicists, what was his name?
Peter something, I just thought about this, who suggested that, you know, maybe we abort kids up to the age of two or three.
Because they're still really not human because they haven't reached a certain intellectual capability.
And people are saying, what are you talking about?
You see, that's where it ultimately leads.
That kind of thinking.
If somebody doesn't have sufficient intellectual capacity, then, you know, let's just kill them.
Not allow them to be born in the first place.
And this is why Christians oppose abortion.
Because if you believe that every person has a soul, then every person has unshakable worth.
It's not about our abilities.
It's not about our consciousness.
It's not about our mental capacity.
It's not about whether or not we have a handicap.
It's not about any of that stuff.
He says that's not just theology.
That's the foundation of human rights.
You see, if you throw away that Christian foundation that we are souls created by God, that's why that's in that first part of the Declaration of Independence.
People who are atheists need to understand this.
You know, we are created with certain inalienable rights.
So we're created.
And we have those rights because we're created in the image of God.
And so it's also why AI cannot be the moral compass for our future.
It doesn't have a compass.
It's just an objective function.
Human dignity doesn't come from capability.
It comes from being made in the image of someone greater.
And that's why B.F. Skinner, when he talks about being beyond freedom and dignity, If you don't have, if you respect for people as being in the image of God, then of course you have no dignity.
And your animal nature, and he is very effective at this, and again, B.F. Skinner is beyond freedom and dignity, and that's what Karen came home with when she was getting her master's degree in education.
I said, well, that's chilling to see that that's the way that the government and the government schools view.
Young children as beyond freedom and dignity.
They view them as dogs or dolphins or carrier pigeons to be trained.
And of course you can manipulate people, those positive and negative operant conditioning.
You can do that because you can manipulate the physical side of us, the animal side of us that is not the soul.
The soul can basically just be passive and not involved.
You can control people like animals.
Genesis said that God breathed life into Adam's nostrils, and that's the difference.
It wasn't code.
It wasn't logic.
It was a breath.
It was spirit.
It was soul.
And that is what AI is missing in a world racing to replace humanity with smarter, faster machines.
We need something to remind us why we matter in the first place.
We matter not because we're useful.
We matter not because we're efficient.
We matter because we're humans, created in the image of God.
And no machine, no matter how advanced, We'll ever be that.
Well, we're going to take a break, and when we come back, we're going to talk.
I think this is going to be an interesting interview, and hopefully it's going to be something that might save somebody's life.
We're going to talk with author Lee, who is founder and inventor of a device that can help people who are choking.
And so we're going to talk to him about that.
That might be something that may Play a very important role in your life at some point in the future.
We're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back.
Unlike most revolutions where the people rise against a real economic oppression, in our case here in Boston, we are fighting for purely an abstract principle.
Hear, hear, hear, hear, hear.
It is, however, not nearly so abstract as a young gentleman supposes.
The issue involved here is one of monopoly.
Hear, hear, hear, hear, hear, hear.
Today, the British government will monopolize the sale of tea in our country.
Tomorrow it will be something else.
Alright, let's go!
Let's go!
Let's go!
Welcome back, and we do not have our guests just yet.
We're having some connection difficulties, so I'm going to continue on.
And I want to cover some general news here.
We have, as I said yesterday, Bitchute has had to discontinue its video hosting.
I said at the tail end of the show that they're worried about somebody's feelings being hurt.
So, we can't allow free speech in the UK anymore.
Now, people who are UK creators that are using BitChute, they can still upload and people in the rest of the world can look at it, but BitChute has had to make their platform write-only.
In other words, you can't view stuff on it in the UK because it might be bad stuff.
They've got to punish these platforms that are about free speech.
They got to punish BitChute.
They got to punish Rumble.
They got to punish Odyssey and so forth.
And so right now they're focusing on BitChute.
It is all about free speech.
And that was one of the first platforms that we were on was BitChute.
I've been there from the very beginning of this show.
And they've decided to just stop operating in the UK because of censorship and fines by Ofcom.
Following the regulator's acquisition of sweeping new powers, Under the so-called Online Safety Act.
Safety is always antithetical to liberty, isn't it?
And so, as I had no doubt, Bitchu will be the first of many American social media companies to stop offering their services in the UK as a result of the Online Safety Act.
So, if you're in the UK, if you can still hear me on another platform, I've got one word for you.
It's not plastics.
It's VPN.
Use a VPN or something.
This is what people have had to do in communist China.
Well, now they've got to do this in communist UK.
They had the great firewall of China.
Said, we don't want you seeing what these people outside of China are saying.
You listen only to what we tell you.
And that's what the UK government has become.
China has been the beta test site for all this tyranny.
That's why they advantaged them to do this.
And so that is now being rolled out in the UK. They're acting just like China.
China is the beta test site for the biometric surveillance, for the traffic light system, you know, red, green, yellow, and all this to, you know, social media credits and all social scores, social credit scores, all the rest of the stuff, and shutting down free
speech, isolating everybody, putting a wall around the country in terms of information.
I suggest that you do the same type of thing if you're in the UK.
There's ways of hiding what country you're coming from.
Ofcom can fine social media companies up to 10% of their annual global turnover if they fail to comply with the Act.
And so it is a dark day for freedom of speech.
Says this article from the Daily Skeptic.
They're based in the UK as well.
And we're seeing this also with Rumble in Brazil.
This Brazilian court, especially this one judge who is coming after them.
They're having to fight that.
They've also come after X. They've come after Truth Social.
They're after Rumble now.
Odyssey has been attacked.
Do we have our guest?
Okay. I can hear you.
Okay, good.
Good, good.
Okay. All right.
Well, we have, I'll tell you what, I'm just going to go directly to him since we've established this, or do you want to try to establish the video?
Do you still need the video?
Okay. We've got video coming from you, so even if you can't see me, I think we can go ahead.
I want to tell people about your product.
Thank you for joining us.
Am I pronouncing your name correctly?
Is the last name Lee?
Is that the way it's pronounced?
Yes, sir.
Okay, good.
Tell us a little bit about your product here.
I mentioned it before.
It is to help people in a choking situation.
The company, by the way, is LifeVac.net.
Tell us a little bit about the product that you developed there.
You're the CEO, the inventor, the founder of the company, and again, your name is Arthur Lee.
Tell us a little bit about that, Arthur.
Well, first off, thank you.
Thanks for having me on.
As we get the word out there about Lightback, we save more lives.
I think we saved nine lives yesterday.
But it's a very, like you said, very simple device.
It's basically a plunger.
And if you've done the Heimlich and it's not worked, or you can't get your arms around the person or they're in a wheelchair, numerous reasons that it will not work or cannot be done.
The LifeVac is as simple as you place it on the person, you push it down, the air will vent out the side so it won't push it further down, and you quick tug, and it'll pull out whatever was choking it.
And to date, we're coming up on 4,000 people saved, and coming up on 3,000 children that have been saved with LifeVac from a choking emergency.
That cycle...
Excuse me.
I'm not choking here.
I just...
I got you.
Yeah, if you can send one of those through the pipes there, that'd be great.
Sorry. Tell us a little bit about that, because, you know, Heimlich maneuver can be difficult to maneuver, as you point out, if you've got somebody who's overweight, can't get your arms around them, or if they're in a wheelchair.
What was it that got you interested in making a device to do this?
Well... I was 13 years ago, my daughter was 7 years old, and I was visiting a friend in the hospital, and he pointed over at the gurney, and he said the last time he was there, a 7-year-old had been on that gurney that had choked to death.
And I'd taken the course, I was not aware that it didn't always work, or that it had a high failure ratio, particularly in children.
And I was really scared, actually.
Because, you know, once you know, you know.
I was now aware that if my child choked, there was a chance my techniques weren't going to work.
So I wanted to save her.
That was my first goal, was to save her.
And then I felt obligated to bring it to the world.
That's great because, you know, we have with children, young children, that's what we're looking at.
We've got a young grandson, and we're constantly looking at what the choking dangers are for children.
And as you point out, that's where it's really difficult.
You know, children are some of the highest risk for choking, and it's very difficult to do that.
That's why if you have something like this, I guess, as a parent, it'd be very helpful.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, and the other thing that, you know, as we went through the last 13 years, the stuff they choke on, they choke on, the number one thing they choke on is plastic.
And it's anything from toys but to wrappers to pieces of tape, all sorts of plastic that they find.
They're always putting stuff in their mouth, you know, to try it out.
And the younger they are, the more that's the issue.
Well, the thing is, there's a couple of physiological things.
Very small windpipe.
It's about the size of your pinky.
So they can choke on things that we cannot, you know, that we would swallow or expel.
So when you're trying to get some force out of compression, be it a back blow or chest compression, you know, you're dealing with a very low volume of air.
So the ineffectiveness is based by physics, you know, that they have a smaller windpipe, so it'll clog more often, and you're not dealing with a lot of air to generate force to pop it out.
And that's why I'd say somewhere in the 65% of our saves is children.
Wow, wow.
And now if you're talking about a very young child who's also going to be putting a lot of stuff in their mouth, what about the difference in the size of the face?
Do you have different attachments or does this somehow range over a large variety?
Yeah, every kid comes with a pediatric mask and an adult mask.
So it's universal, zero.
The other day we saved, two days ago, we saved a 15-month-old and a 97-year-old in the same day.
And we made it that way.
Yeah, I know.
We made it to cover your entire family.
It lasts forever, so it's not one of those gimmicks where you've got to buy one every year because it expires.
It covers your entire family, kids and adults.
You can use it on yourself, which we've had many saves like that.
And if you ever use it, we give you a free one.
Wow. That's great.
Of course, you never think about that.
If you're alone, there's no way that you can do the Heimlich maneuver on yourself if there's nobody around.
If you've got one of those things, it helps.
How much is it?
Yeah. $69.95.
Okay, that's great.
We try to keep it reasonable.
You can usually find a Fine.
And it lasts forever, and it covers your whole family.
You know, I don't know, making a medical product in the U.S. is not inexpensive.
There's a lot of regulations and cost, but we made it last forever so that, you know, if you had to buy one every year, it was cheaper.
It wouldn't take you long to go over what you need.
More importantly, it's more ethical that, you know, we've had seven-year-old life facts save a life.
It's something that you went to get it and it quote-unquote expired and your child died or your loved one died.
So that was the reasoning behind it.
That's great.
And of course, you know, a young teenager or something could use it.
An adult, they would not have the power to do that.
It's not just, you know, like we said, getting your arms around, but having the strength as well.
It's really a preparedness thing.
I think.
When we look at it, it's like having a fire extinguisher or some other things like that, except, you know, it's something that is far more potentially, has a greater potential for being fatal if you were choking on it.
So, especially if you've got young children around that are going to be liable to put things in their mouth, that's a great idea.
I really like this.
When I saw that, I really wanted to get you on because I thought, well, you know, some people could just wind up, as you point out, saving their life.
You've had 3,800 and something lives saved so far.
So, that's a great thing.
Well, we've had a lot of media saved lives.
Inside Edition has saved over a hundred and something.
Mike Rowe, Brian Kilmeade.
Mike is at 22. Brian's at 32. Joel Biscobo, his show has saved lives.
And, yeah, getting the word out will definitely save a life.
But the thing that most shocked me right in the beginning...
I think that's a big part of it,
to you know raising the awareness to get training and you know feel like you said you got a family or there's maybe you know you're bigger person smaller you're you know I was at a party and the wife put her hands and she was laughing how she couldn't get
her arms around her husband and then she looked at me like holy cow I can't get my arms around my husband it was a moment of awareness
That's great.
It is amazing.
I didn't know that that many people died every year.
A lot more than bird flu, for example.
They get everybody panicking about the wrong stuff.
They'll be looking at where the real risk is, and that is a real risk.
Well, it's great having you on.
Our passion is schools and special...
I give one free to every school in America.
We lose about seven kids a year, choke to death in school.
We have EpiPens and fire equipment, and that's great.
No one passed away from that last year.
But like you said, we have to address the primary problems.
Think about it.
In the school, you're eating fast, you're little kids, you're joking around.
Every year we lose kids in school that don't have to be lost.
And that's why I give one free.
And then the special needs.
our veterans, our disabled, our disability community, where you're in a wheelchair, you can't get your arms around them.
They just choke, they have no policy, no protocol.
So I think as Americans, as people, you know, we have choice, right?
You can get a few.
family or not and i understand and but i think for our schools and our veterans uh disabled veterans and our special needs that we all need to you know pick up that awareness that they have nothing and that's not right that's right
yeah
Yeah, it's not something that you're going to necessarily carry around with you at a restaurant or something like that, but if you've got young children, you've got people who are disabled at home, and if enough people have these things in enough different places, if the restaurants had them, that would be a huge thing.
I think that's a really wise thing.
Again, 5,000 people a year that are choking to death.
You can have a big chunk taken out of that with this device.
Thank you for doing that.
That is a really interesting idea and I really wanted to get that out to the audience.
There's not anything, we're not selling this on this program or anything like that.
There's no tie about that.
I just saw that and I thought that could save somebody's life.
Especially if you've got somebody in your family that is young or disabled, that is really important.
Thank you.
And again...
You know what?
That's how we change.
We all pitch in and share, and I greatly appreciate your voice, because that's how we make a difference.
That's how we fix things.
You know, 16 people dying that don't have to.
That's the big problem, right?
You know, tragedy happens, things happen, but this doesn't have to happen.
No kid has to choke to death in school anymore, so we all gotta shout about it, and as I say, just keep going.
That's right.
That's right.
It's preparedness, and we have to make that kind of preparation.
Somebody learns CPR, they learn the Heimlich Maneuver, they're doing preparation.
If you get this, you're also doing preparation, but you're also extending the ability of being able to do it that's even beyond what you could do with a Heimlich Maneuver or something like that.
So again, the website is LifeVac.
That's LifeVac.net.
LifeVac.net.
And so you can see that there.
That's a really great idea, and thank you so much for doing that.
Thank you for bringing that to our attention.
Arthur, I hope you sell a lot of these things.
I think it is really important.
Thank you.
I hope we save a lot of lives, so that's the key.
But I really appreciate you, and your show will save a life, so that's cool.
Thank you.
I hope so.
Thank you so much.
We're going to take a quick break, folks, and we'll be right back.
Stay with us.
with us.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
Well, welcome back.
May 2022 said I literally had to perform the Heimlich on myself once over the back of a high chair.
Worked remarkably.
I'm trying to picture that.
I saw, of course, this would be a lot easier if you had this thing, I think.
And again, we want to try to save lives.
That's why I wanted to get him on.
I said, you know, that's really important.
I've never had to try to do the Heimlich maneuver to anybody else.
More to myself.
And so I wasn't sure that, you know, I don't know if it would work or not, you know, so it'd be good to have something like that, especially if you've got small kids.
But I'm trying to picture how that would actually work.
I saw a cartoon meme that was laughing about Trump's tariff plans, and they had a chair that was, you know, like face down, okay?
So the back of the chair is down on the ground, and the seat is down on the ground, and a guy is climbing on the back of it.
It's like, you know, you're not doing this right in response to Trump's tariffs.
But I don't know how a Heimlich maneuver would work with putting yourself over the back of a seat.
I'm glad it worked for you.
I'm glad that it saved your life.
And I had no idea that many people were choking.
But I just saw that and I knew it was a problem.
So I thought, let's get that guy on.
He sent a thing to me.
One Sarah B. says, my best friend almost choked on an ice cube right in front of me when we were kids.
Wow. Yeah, it can happen.
At any time, but especially with small children.
It's one of the things we've really got to watch out with.
Travis is a little baby.
We're all very, very conscious about the choking issues and everything that's around him because he wants to put everything in his mouth.
Wally Walrus, fresh-caught fish pin bones are the worst for choking.
That's why I don't eat fish.
One of the reasons.
I don't like the bones.
I don't like the smell.
When we were in China, our daughter had, it was an area in South China that was really close to the border with Vietnam, only about 100 miles from Hanoi, I think, if I remember correctly, the town where she grew up in.
And she must have had a lot of fish, because we were in the town, and we were walking around, and we...
Turn a corner and the stench hits us of all this fish that's been laid out on the street to dry.
Just about knocked the four of us over.
And she's repelled by it.
And she starts dragging Karen towards the fish.
Like, I don't want to get that stuff.
It's like, whoa.
And so I have just the opposite reaction.
I grew up in Florida smelling a lot of bait and other things like that, and I just don't like seafood at all.
KWD68, AI proves the need for a little god.
Yeah, a little G-god.
People worship something.
Elon Musk is there to help with that.
Yeah, Bob Dylan recognized that.
He said, you're going to worship something.
Everybody's going to worship something.
And many people talked about that.
Heart being an idol factory, isn't it?
Right Overture said, we're all programmed by God for worship.
Yes, you'll either worship God or you'll replace Him with a lesser God.
Mav2022 says, being ruled by AI is like having your life determined by the calculator on the desk.
That's right.
But see, that's the key thing.
And that is the ability to inspire confidence to sound real.
And its ability to mimic and its ability to lie.
And a lot of those lies are going to be programmed already.
A lot of them are programmed into the AI responses in a very subtle way.
It is the most subtle of lies.
And people are going to mistake it for being something that is objective and machine-like.
And that's really where the big danger is.
And they will take advantage of that naivete to lie to you even more.
Freethinker68. Follow the channel on Kik.
Interesting that I would start choking when I'm interviewing him about the choking device.
I'm still having problems.
That's just respirated.
But anyway, let's talk a little bit more about this BitChute thing.
We stopped it right in the middle as he was joining us.
This is the message from BitChute to our valued customers in the UK. After careful review and ongoing evaluation of the regulatory landscape in the UK, we regret to inform you that BitChute will be discontinuing its video sharing services for UK residents.
The introduction of the UK Online Safety Act of 2023 has brought about significant changes in the regulatory framework governing online content and community interactions.
Notably, the Act contains sweeping provisions and onerous corrective measures with respect to content moderation and enforcement.
In particular, the broad enforcement powers granted to the Regulator of Communication Services, Ofcom, have raised concerns.
regarding the open-ended and unpredictable nature of regulatory compliance for our platform.
The BitChute platform has always operated on principles of freedom of speech, expression, and association, and has strived to foster an open and inclusive environment for content creators and audiences alike.
However, the evolving regulatory pressures, including strict enforcement of mechanisms and potential liabilities, have created an operational landscape
Let's just stop and think here about what is happening in the UK.
Going to jail for silently praying in your head?
Going to jail for talking to other people if you're within an abortion sanctified abortion right area, you know?
And we could spell that R-I-T-E.
We've seen this over and over again, and we've seen how it is selectively applied to preferred Issues and religions and other things like that.
The UK has become an abomination, really, in terms of speech.
Effective immediately, BitChute platform users will no longer be able to view content produced by any other BitChute user.
Because of the OSA's primary concern...
Is that the members of the public will view content that they deem to be unsafe.
They will decide what is safe.
They will decide what is nice.
And they will not let you view other content.
As a matter of fact, I think it was in one of these sci-fi things that C.S. Lewis did.
His horrible...
Anyway, it's a totalitarian government.
And the agency went by the initials, the acronym of NICE.
And they were anything but nice.
It's kind of like the Ministry of Truth.
It's a cynical joke.

Well, in other news, we have the border Barbie, Kristi Noem.
I guess we could call her the Ice Queen as well.
Whistler, can you pull up that article, Kristi Noem ripped for a photo op where she points a gun barrel at an officer's head so they can see this picture here.
She's going around, that's what she's become, a walking photo op.
And there she is.
A lot of people called her out for pointing the gun at the officer's head to her left as she's holding it there.
And again, a total poser.
She is LARPing in the role of being an agent.
And that's so phony.
Why does she have to do that?
Right. Especially, you know, when she puts on the earrings and the long hair and she's got a fifty thousand dollar watch in one of these photo ops in front of a bunch of prisoners in Venezuela.
And the clip that she posted to X, she says, here we are with Marco and Brian today.
They're letting me roll with them.
Oh, she's rolling with them.
All right.
Yeah, she's now a big law enforcement person.
Right. We're going to go out and pick up somebody who I think is who's got charges of human trafficking.
This.
How long is it going to take for some of the lefty Democrats in Hollywood to absolutely skewer her?
I mean, we've had one buddy movie after the other where you've got this seasoned guy and they team him up with some green horn who doesn't know anything, some rookie, or they team him up with some reporter or something.
He's constantly got to get them out of trouble and watch them instead of having somebody that can help watch their back.
When is somebody going to do something like that with basically...
The head of DHS going around and LARPing with all this stuff.
So we're going to go out and pick up somebody.
I think charges of human trafficking.
We only had an op that swept up somebody that was wanted for murder.
So appreciate the good work that they do every day.
I'm one of them now.
We appreciate them working to make America safe.
She's donning tactical gear.
She's joining operations and doing it in front of the camera.
And it's become routine in recent weeks.
However, in this particular one, Washington Post military reporter Alex Wharton replied to it and said, Nome is pointing the M4 muzzle at an agent with an open dust cover indicating a chambered round.
It's the worst possible place to point it.
No one stopped her, including the agent to her left, who should know better, but who also has bad muzzle discipline.
David French said, this is what LARPing looks like, referring to live action role play.
Ruben Gallego, a Democrat out of Arizona, a former Marine.
Says, number one, close your ejection port.
Number two, if you have no rounds in the chamber, why do you have a magazine inserted?
Number three, if you have rounds in the chamber or in the magazine, why are you flagging the guy next to you?
In other words, pointing the gun at his head.
And number four, stop deporting people without due process.
One person said, so many things wrong here, but let's start with not pointing the barrel of that rifle at your buddy's head.
Firearm safety tip says another.
Conservatives need, and this is from Christopher Ruffo, who is a conservative.
He's been very good in terms of exposing a lot of this DEI stuff everywhere.
So Chris Ruffo says, Conservatives need a distinct aesthetic, but this one isn't it.
The American aesthetic should be a cut above.
A nod to the old G-man rather than the girl house tactical.
Agency heads shouldn't pretend to be operators.
It feels fake.
It feels fake because it is fake.
She's not an operator.
She's a poser.
So, this is Mediaite.
They said, Secretary Noem personally shoots or arrests you for your dog.
Please email me.
I have some legal theories that I'd like to be, that I'm chomping at the bit to test out.
That's actually not them.
That's Patrick Gaikomo.
Another one says, whatever your policies, your politics or views on immigration, I think we can all agree that these photo ops are ridiculous.
Yeah, they absolutely are.
Well, we have Trump hanging out with Whitmer.
And, of course, both people on the left are criticizing her.
People on the right are criticizing him.
But, you know, the two of them worked together before in his last year of office.
So why shouldn't they be together?
And we have New York Governor Hochul has now signed a bill allowing credit cards to track ammunition purchases.
They just keep doing this.
And, of course, all of this stuff was pressure from New York to get the credit card companies to add some additional codes so that they could track this kind of stuff.
All this stuff is coming out of New York.
New York really wants them to.
And of course, we know how this worked on January the 6th.
You had Bank of America looking to see if anybody had bought anything within their geofence around Washington.
Indicating that, you know, you were there for January the 6th, but then they would also make a determination as to whether or not you were conservative or not based on some other factors.
Looking at your purchasing history, that was Bank of America willingly did that, voluntarily doing that, said the FBI.
But of course, you know, all the FBI has to do is just say, could we have that?
sure yeah you can have it and then they also gave them information about which of these people had purchased firearms so that kind of stuff is there already they're just trying to escalate it
they're trying to give it legal cover and so hochel signed new controls into the law last week including one that allows credit cards to track ammunition ammunition purchases she described the ammunition control as one that refines how credit
card companies track purchases and
She said this gives law enforcement the opportunity to find out exactly who may be stockpiling ammunition.
Because this is an indicator that something untoward could be happening.
Well, you know, people stockpile ammunition as prepping, don't they?
Or maybe they buy a bunch of it because they want to do some target practice or whatever.
Maybe it's hunting season, whatever.
That doesn't mean that you're a dangerous person any more than having a gun means you're a dangerous person.
It does mean that you're a dangerous person if you're a governor because you have the capability to do a lot of really bad things and there apparently are no legal restraints on any of this stuff or any of these people.
Someone, I'm sure, will challenge this and we still don't know what will happen with the courts.
They're absolutely unreliable on these issues.
So they're adding a new merchant code that will allow the tracking of not only ammunition purchases, but firearms as well.
One of the other gun controls signed by Hochul outlines new warnings that gun dealers must provide to customers about the risks of firearms.
You know, you might shoot yourself with this.
Or you might want to watch out and be careful if you're out on an op with Christy Noem.
Because Christy doesn't understand how dangerous guns are, obviously.
So I guess it warns people about Kristi Noem, other Democrats like Hochul and others.
And then there's a third aspect to this law that bans what is commonly known as Glock switches, which is already banned at the federal level, writes A.W.R.
Hawkins. So the Glock switches is another one of these things to help you to...
Waste a lot of ammunition very quickly.
Yeah, they're mandating the you'll shoot your eye out, kid.
That should be the warning.
Thank you, Whistler.
That's great.
Yeah. By the way, one last thing.
You're going to shoot your eye out, kid.
Wellness Warriors.
Rumble is not available in El Salvador.
Last time I attempted to load it.
Well, again, you know, they've got Marxist authoritarian government that's there, and in Brazil you've got these leftist judges that are, you know, judges trying to shut that down there.
Karen Carpenter, 27, my daughter bought three life vacs.
Well, good.
That's good.
Yeah, I mean, you never know.
And, you know, you look at how they deliberately try to panic people over things that are not real risks, especially statistically.
I mean, anything can happen to anybody.
But when we look at things that happen pretty frequently, something like choking, they don't even want to talk about that.
And that's a pretty simple solution there.
Chefkin says five years ago, he's choking, medical staff.
We have to do a COVID-19 PCR test.
It was just about that bad from what Handy said.
I'll never forget when he told me about the guy they wheeled in there.
They brought him in.
And he's obviously having a heart attack, but they go do a PCR test first.
Why? So they can get more money for treating him.
Trump was bribing everybody with CMS.
Which is where he put Oz this time, Dr. Oz.
And if you get a positive PCR test, they can add 20% to all the stuff that they do for him for his heart attack.
Soylent Goy, I'm inventing a face plunger to keep on my Batman belt.
That's good.
I like that.
Well, you know, whatever works.
If somebody's choking, I could have used that a little while ago.
But we're going to take a quick break and we will be right back.
Excellencies. Ladies and gentlemen, your annual global risk report makes for a stunning and sobering read.
For the global business community, the top concern for the next two years is not conflict or climate.
It is disinformation and misinformation.
followed closely by polarization within our societies.
In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
You are listening to The David Knight Show.
The David Knight Show.
you.
We have KWD 68. Holy choking hazard, Batman.
Everyone should take a basic EMT 101 course.
I agree.
but then again you know when we look at that i i thought it was a good idea because uh you know with size disparities other things like that somebody's on a gurney somebody that's in a wheelchair that that does help a lot to have something like that let's talk a little
bit about
And if you remember, we've had periods of time when there's been a lot of talk about Nagorno-Karabakh and what is happening with Azerbaijan, the ongoing war that is there.
Typically, when they would talk about it, they don't mention what is really behind this, and that is a religious attack.
The Muslims of Azerbaijan coming after the Christians in Nagorno-Karabakh.
And the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom has just released its annual report, and LifeSite News looked at it.
They said it's gotten very little attention.
They said it's purported to track the most egregious violations of religious liberty across the world.
Professor Stephen Schneck A holdover from the Biden administration served as the chairman for this year's report.
They said while undoubtedly a liberal, he has a reputation of being rather fair-minded.
So I was told years ago by students that I knew in a Ph.D.
program at Catholic University of America, he said the purpose of this report, simple enough, it is to inform lawmakers of countries that fail to protect religious minorities so they can decide if they want to take further action or not.
The report does this by using three classifications.
Countries of particular concern, that'd be the worst ones.
Countries on a special watch list, which is the next one down.
And then they look at entities of particular concern.
So these would be non-state actors, not a country, but a group of people.
And so he says, so in the country category, you got North Korea.
Iran, China, North Korea is absolutely the worst on earth, routinely designated as countries of particular concern.
Islamic terror group Boko Haram, which has killed thousands of Christians in Nigeria, and the Houthis in Yemen are among those on the entities of particular concern list.
A notable change from the 2024 report to 2025 is the inexplicable downgrade given to Azerbaijan.
And there's been a lot of violence there against the Christians this last year.
Azerbaijan is a Muslim-majority country that went from a country of particular concern to the special watch list.
It was a downgrading.
This change is an international scandal as Azerbaijan has engaged in and has effectively succeeded in cleansing the region of Christians since 2023.
Israel trafficked arms to Azerbaijan to carry out this religious genocide.
Perhaps that's why they pulled this down.
Also known as the Republic of Artsakh, I guess, Nagorno-Karabakh was a former satellite of the USSR before the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991.
Since that time, its 99% Christian population has suffered Through three significant conflicts with Azerbaijan.
One in 1994, another in 2020, and another in 2023.
Despite Russian spending diplomatic and military resources to ensure that the 120,000 Armenians in the region live in peace, Turkish-backed Azerbaijan president has launched an offensive to take the area in October 2023.
His forces began what his government called an anti-terror operation with artillery and drones that were carried out in less than 24 hours.
So there were Christian terrorists, were there?
It reminds me of that movie American Carol that was done by the Zucker brothers.
They talked about how the media was trying to portray Christians as terrorists.
And they had...
Had a nun jump onto a bus and had like a hand grenade with a cross on the top of it.
Anyway, that's their fantasy.
They're going to call these Armenians terrorists, these Christians.
So they hit them with a blitzkrieg that left a lot of civilians dead.
More than 80% of the Christian population has now fled.
And this is what it looks like here.
Look at the massive number of people.
trying to get out of this area that has now been taken over by the muslims the u.s state department denounced the attack as did archbishop vegano who said in the next post that the international community is eager to assist muslim migrants but has gone silent in
the face of attacks on christians in this situation it's not widely reported at the time that the fact is that israel also had a hand in the offensive israeli arms quietly helped azerbaijan
Retake Nagorno-Karabakh.
And they said Israel's fingerprints were all over ethnic cleansing, said an editorial in Haaretz, the Jewish newspaper.
Azerbaijan used Herop Kamikaze strike zones, Hermes 450s, Orbiter 1K, Orbiter 2, Orbiter 3, reconnaissance drones, a former lieutenant colonel in the defense army there said.
All of these are produced by Israeli arms companies.
And so they sold them the arms that they used to terrorize these Christians in that area.
Mid-2024, Armenia argued before the International Court of Justice what was happening.
And we've had Mel Gibson responded to the post that was put up by Archbishop Vigano.
History tragically repeats itself as we witness the modern-day genocide unfolding.
Yet the media silence on this issue is deafening.
The Armenian people who've endured centuries of persecution due to their faith find themselves once again subjected to a brutal campaign of ethnic cleansing.
In the grip of Azerbaijan and Turkey, countless Armenians are enduring unspeakable horrors, loss of life, forced displacement, starvation, and isolation from essential supplies.
These are the same Armenians whose roots run deep in a land they've called home for generations.
I implore the international community across all nations to take swift action, extend a helping hand to the Armenian population, offer them the protection they desperately need, and create a humanitarian corridor for their
safe passage.
Most importantly,
To the Armenian people who still suffer, I say don't lose heart.
God is with you.
But not our government, that's for sure.
As a matter of fact, in that post by Vigano, he was talking about how that massive traffic jam that you saw there, that was about a two-hour drive that would take more than 20 hours.
And they're letting the cars go through, inspecting them, you know, very, very closely.
So it's very, very hard for the children who didn't have enough food and water to last through that 20-hour ordeal where they were going through their one-by-one by the Azerbaijan officials.
Thousands of Armenians are leaving their country, driven from their homes, considered to be strangers in the homeland.
Where is the international community, always ready to welcome Islamic migrants of military age?
Fleeing war zones or funding a proxy war in Ukraine under the pretext of Russian invasion?
Where is the petulant Bergoglio, he means referring to the Pope, according to whom no ethnic replacement is taking place?
He said, I appeal to the institutions of all countries to act promptly by giving aid and protection to the Armenians, opening a humanitarian corridor to receive them, and above all, taking immediate diplomatic action.
So they can return to their homes, not necessarily relocate.
So they have, what the Muslims are doing is not only getting rid of all the people, but they're erasing all traces of the Armenians' presence there.
That's not like what Trump and Netanyahu are proposing for Gaza.
It certainly does, right?
We want the land.
We will kill or remove all the people who are there, and then we'll level everything and build back whatever we want.
So why, they write in this LifeSite news, why was it downgraded by the U.S. Commission on Religious Freedom?
They said, with firepower acquired from foreign governments, it brazenly swept aside more than 100,000 Christians who had deep ties to the land.
And so what has changed with this over the last year?
Why did they downgrade it?
They said, well, this year's commission, You know, Trump has started putting people on, and who has he put on?
Well, there's nine people on the commission that they mentioned.
And out of the nine people, five of them are very strong Zionists, and they are not going to criticize Israel.
As a matter of fact, if Israel is providing the weapons to this Muslim group to slaughter these Christian Armenians, these people might downgrade it and pretend that it's not a problem.
And so he goes over it one by one.
The first one, Soloveitchik, a rabbi of Congregation Sherith Israel, director of the Strauss Center for Torah and Western Thought.
Another one is Ariella Dubler, head of the school at the Abraham Joshua Heschel School in New York City.
Another one, Mohamed El Sanousi.
Sounds like he's Muslim, but he's not.
He's Jewish.
He's on the Board for the Center for Interreligious Dialogue.
Well, perhaps he is Muslim and he's on the Interreligious Dialogue at the Jewish Theological Seminary also in New York City.
And Susie Gelman on the board.
She is the board chair, rather, of the Israel Policy Forum from 2016 to 2023.
Also served as president of the Jewish Federation of Greater Washington for three terms.
a lifetime member of the Federation's board of directors, among other roles in many other Jewish and pro-Zionist groups.
Finally, they have Vicki Hartzler, who is a former congresswoman
So these are the people who are producing the
report that says that even though
This happened and is happening, and it's being done with arms from Israel.
It's not a real problem.
This year's report does note that a U.S. nonprofit found that Azerbaijan carried out a, quote, comprehensive, methodically implemented strategy to empty Nagorno-Karabakh of its ethnic Armenian population and
historical and cultural presence during the 2020 and 2023 military operations.
Still, the group did not mention that Azerbaijan carried out its cleansing of Christians with Israeli and Turkish weapons.
Last year's report also failed to make mention of that.
And it's not just there.
We also have Hindu extremists are even preventing Christian converts in India from burying their dead.
This is the Modi Hindu radical government that has close ties to Tulsi Gabbard, now our head of intelligence.
This is the radical Hindu party that supports and enables this using surrogates of other groups that they say are the ones who are doing it.
Well, it's not coming from the government.
The government steps aside, though, and lets them do it.
As we talked about earlier with Bitshoot, this is another example of free speech.
This woman showed that picture there.
The UK retiree who's fined for offering a chance to chat.
This is a 64-year-old woman.
She stands in the sacred abortion zone.
You know, they create these exclusion zones.
There, there's the picture.
She holds it up.
Here to talk if you want.
Oh, well, that's an intimidation of people who want to kill their babies.
A British court has convicted her for holding a sign that says here to talk if you want.
She stood outside an abortion facility in Bournemouth, England for two days in March of 2023.
Holding the sign that said, here to talk if you want.
Multiple people approached her to talk.
Yeah, maybe she should have put a sign up that says free hugs or something, right?
So, last Friday, they fined her more than $25,000 for doing that.
Convicting her for holding that sign while standing inside their sacred abortion zone.
They call it a buffer zone.
It really is a religious rite.
R-I-T-E.
The Public Spaces Protection Order from 2023.
The buffer zone prohibits individuals from giving an expression of approval or disapproval of abortion within a 150-meter area around the facility.
And look, the Biden administration was basically doing the same thing with the FACE Act.
That had been enacted a long time ago.
But then they started increasing the persecution of people who they said had violated that.
And trying to increase the extent to which they would come after people, you know, the boundaries of that.
So she said in a statement, there's nothing wrong with offering to speak to people in need.
There's nothing wrong with two adults engaging in a consensual conversation on the street.
Well, except the government wants you to kill your babies.
They don't want to have a possibility that you could have a consensual conversation and that that conversation might stop you from killing your baby.
That can't be allowed.
So she said, I should not be treated like a criminal for this.
Again, it is part of their religion, their religion of death.
Her sign had no mention of abortion, but the district judge, Orla Austin, said it is beyond reasonable doubt.
That she expressed disapproval of abortion services because she held her sign within the buffer zone.
I accept her beliefs were truly held beliefs.
But evidently there is no room for some beliefs.
They will decide what you may or may not believe and what you may or may not say.
That's what this is all about.
From a person standing there with a sign saying, I'm here if you want to talk.
To bit shoot, saying we've got videos if you want to watch.
No, that's not going to be allowed by these tyrants.
This is a sad state of affairs.
A free speech is not honored by Western governments anymore.
It's important to note this case is not about the rights and wrongs of abortion, but it's whether the defendant was in the breach of the public spaces protection order, said the judge.
Well, it should be about the speech, right?
Even the pro-abortionists.
Yes, that's right.
This is even above and beyond the issue of abortion.
This is about basic human rights, the right of free expression, said the Alliance Defending Freedom International.
They're defending her.
They said everyone who cares about free speech should care about these so-called buffer zones.
A Christian woman has been convicted merely for offering to chat on a public street in Britain.
This ruling Should show all reasonable people that beyond the shadow of a doubt, abortion facility buffer zones are incompatible with a free society.
So are the rules about gender, misgendering, and dead naming, and all the rest of the stuff that's being enacted in Colorado.
This is not just the UK.
This is across Western civilization.
The absolute contempt for the basic human right of being able to speak.
This woman isn't the only person to be charged for breaching the buffer zones in Bournemouth.
In October 2024, Army veteran Adam Smith-Connor was convicted for praying silently in his mind.
Yeah, that's the sad state of where we are right now.
And thank you, Knights of the Storm.
Thank you for gifting a subscription on Kik.
And I appreciate that.
You know, we don't have time to talk about this, but there was an interesting back and forth between a Christian pastor who took on Jordan Peterson.
Again, Jordan Peterson is going to define the meaning of life in the Christian faith for us, and he doesn't have any idea about either one of them.
He's a psychologist.
He doesn't have any clue.
We're talking about, well, suffering is our lot.
And yes, we do suffer in this life, but the Christian pastor was pointing out that there's something much more.
The pursuit of happiness is something that is much deeper that he doesn't understand because he's not a Christian.
Thank you for joining us.
Have a great weekend.

The common man.
They created common core to dumb down our children.
They created common past to track and control us.
Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing.
And the communist future.
They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
That is what we have in common.
That is what they want to take away.
Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
