	As the clock strikes 13, it's Friday the 2nd of May of Our Lord 2025.
	Well, today we're going to talk about what is happening in government and especially in war.
	It's kind of interesting to see the...
	The cabinet meeting that Trump filled the room with people, a very, very large table.
	It's amazing to see how many cabinet members there are in a presidential administration.
	And they go around the table, people talking about what they have accomplished in the first 100 days.
	How important Trump is.
	Which is what he wanted to hear.
	So we're going to take a look at that.
	And we're going to take a look at their vision of government.
	As well as their...
	Accomplishments.
	We're also going to take a look at the new push towards artificial intelligence and education.
	Charter schools.
	Yeah.
	You know, tens of thousands of dollars a year.
	It'll come from Washington.
	Don't worry.
	You know, the Department of Education is still going to be financing all this stuff.
	And they'll be able to educate your kids.
	It's so great to have personalized instruction, isn't it?
	Well, maybe you can have parental involvement.
	Yeah, we'll compare it to homeschooling.
	We'll be right back.
	Well, I've been called a 9-11 truther.
	I am.
	I'm not a 9-11 liar.
	The other side lying to you.
	The official story is a total lie.
	Three buildings collapsed directly into their footprint based on two planes that hit two of them?
	Okay.
	You're the 9-11 liar.
	Anyway, now we have a new category, a new pejorative term.
	And it was created by a guy who is, you know, the conservative voice on CNN, Scott Jennings.
	And that is a tattoo truther.
	A tattoo truther now.
	So I'm a 9-11 truther.
	I'm a tattoo truther.
	I'm not a tattoo liar, as Scott Jennings is or Donald Trump is.
	You know, here's what I got to say.
	When you look at Donald Trump, as Reason pointed out, how will we know if he's senile?
	He doesn't get it at all.
	You look at it, and he's so persistent.
	So belligerent in this tattoo thing.
	That's more important than whether or not there's a tattoo on his hand, quite frankly, or whether or not this guy is MS of 13 or not.
	It's really more important the mental faculties and discernment of Donald Trump, frankly, and the fact that he must have his way.
	And so, you know, that is, when we look at that, that's the real issue.
	But it's also clear that he truly, genuinely believes it, which is troubling.
	In terms of his discernment and intelligence and things like that.
	But people like Scott Jennings are just cynical liars.
	Cynical liars.
	So here is the clip.
	The president knows he was elected to protect us from MS-13, and that is what they are doing.
	Yeah, but none of the things you just said have been proving...
	What do you say about the tattoos?
	I say that what Trump said yesterday was an absolute lie.
	Are you saying the MS-13 that Donald Trump claims...
	Are legitimate tattoos on this guy are true?
	Are you saying the Photoshop is true?
	Are you a tattoo truther?
	I mean, I don't understand.
	Wait, are you a Photoshop denier?
	You're getting away from this, too.
	You know, he's the one who brought it up.
	He'd prepared this little soundbite.
	He wanted to talk about the tattoo truthing.
	So what do you say about the tattoos, he said.
	She says, Navarro, and I don't watch CNN, I don't know who these people are.
	I don't have an opinion one way or the other.
	I'm just going on what they had to say about this thing.
	She said, I say what Trump said yesterday was an absolute lie.
	And here's the thing, right?
	Maybe you've watched these people since Scott Jennings is a conservative.
	You've seen him say a lot of things that you agree with.
	Maybe you've seen Navarro.
	I don't even know what her first name is.
	And, you know, so maybe you know these people, right?
	You've seen them comment on a lot of stuff.
	Maybe you agree with him, you disagree with him.
	Forget about that.
	Forget about that.
	Just focus on what's being said here.
	Forget about who is saying it and what they have said in the past.
	Just focus on this one thing here.
	So, she said, I say that what Trump said yesterday was an absolute lie.
	Jennings says they're not photoshopped.
	Oh, he's an absolute liar.
	I mean, come on.
	This is what it looks like.
	Now, clearly, you can see a difference in not only the clarity and the shade of the MS-13 compared to the actual tattoos, but you notice that whoever put that on there didn't try to make it look like that was a tattoo.
	They didn't, for example, look at the three.
	The three should have been rotated to be in the same plane as the tattoo on the finger.
	These are put on the knuckles, and that's a key thing as well.
	Because Donald Trump was talking about the knuckles.
	He made it very clear that he believed that there were tattoos on the knuckles that said MS-13.
	This guy then comes back and says they're not photoshopped, Jennings.
	13, that Trump claims are legitimate tattoos on this guy are true?
	Are you saying the Photoshop is true?
	Jennings, are you a tattoo truther?
	I don't understand that, he said.
	She said, wait, are you a Photoshop denier?
	No, he's a tattoo liar.
	He's a tattoo liar.
	He says the picture of his knuckles, Phillips comes in, some guy named Phillip, okay?
	Last name Phillip.
	Scott, the picture of his knuckles.
	Does not say MS-13.
	Because, as I pointed out, we've got the picture that was taken by El Salvador.
	And there's other pictures as well.
	They're sitting down.
	They brought margaritas.
	And you can see his left hand again.
	You can see the tattoos on his fingers.
	There's no tattoos on his knuckles.
	And that was after he was deported.
	But he said, okay, Jennings says, they're symbols.
	Ah.
	So now he's deliberately.
	And cynically muddying the water.
	And I'm going to focus on this, folks, because, look, what this tells us about Trump's personality, his intellect, and discernment, and all the rest of the stuff, is very important.
	And what it tells us about these people in the media is very important.
	He cynically says, then, he pivots and says they're symbols.
	And then Navarro says, well, that has not been proven either, Scott.
	None of the things he said.
	Now look, wait a minute.
	This is about knuckles, tattoos on knuckles that we're talking about.
	Philip comes back and says, well, let me explain to people what we're talking about here.
	There are symbols on his knuckles.
	No, they're not.
	They're on his fingers.
	None of them say MS-13.
	However, this administration has decided that they symbolize something related to MS-13, which is disputed by a lot of people.
	Jennings says it is not disputed.
	Okay, three lies.
	One, cynical prevarication.
	Well, I didn't really say it was a...
	Okay, now I say they're symbols, and then I say that they're not disputed.
	No, it is disputed, as I pointed out.
	When I first did, I said I thought it was ridiculous for them to say that the skull was a three.
	And the cross was a one.
	And I showed, when this happened a couple of weeks ago, before this back and forth Trump ad, I showed real tattoos.
	I said, look, they're big, they're bold.
	I mean, they're covering their whole chest or they put them on their face or whatever.
	And other people have said, yeah, we haven't seen these types of tattoos used that way.
	Number one.
	Number two, if he was trying to be that subtle and that hidden, he would be attacked by his own gang members for being cowardly.
	And for trying to hide it.
	They don't try to hide it.
	They put it out there.
	You have the big MS in, like, Gothic letters.
	And then you have the 1-3 clearly shown.
	So it is disputed.
	All of this stuff is a lie.
	The key is that Trump never argued that the pictures tattooed on his fingers were codes or symbols of MS-13.
	He said it's literally written there.
	On his hand.
	On his knuckles, right?
	And as I said yesterday, that makes Trump a knucklehead.
	He just proved he's a knucklehead.
	Because he can't tell the stuff that's photoshopped on the knuckles.
	He thinks it's real.
	Knucklehead.
	That's going to be our name for Trump.
	Knucklehead Trump?
	So, as Reason says, Trump's tattoo fantasy raises a question.
	If he were senile, how would we know with a snucklehead?
	He's got MS-13 tattooed on his knuckles, said Trump.
	On his knuckles, Scott Jennings.
	And let me just say, you know, when you look at this, Scott Jennings, he's outed himself, not as a conservative, but as a con man.
	Conservative con man.
	Look, somebody does something that devious, that deceptive.
	Don't listen to them anymore.
	I mean, I don't know who this guy is.
	I would flip the channel.
	He's on CNN.
	Do I need to say any more?
	He's a cynical con man.
	He's willing to lie to you for his objective.
	Do you tune in to get information?
	Or do you tune in to be manipulated?
	Do you tune in to be influenced?
	Do you tune in to be nudged?
	Do you tune in to be a subject in a psyop experiment?
	That's what the media is.
	Disgust me to see this.
	Disgust me to see that kind of cynicism.
	And then, of course, the other people, we're not going to hold him to it.
	It's like, no, no, no.
	Trump said knuckles.
	It's obviously not.
	Photoshopped, and don't.
	You just changed.
	You just pivoted here in a very subtle way to say, well, they were symbols.
	And they're not disputed as symbols.
	Yeah, they are.
	So, going to a reason, Jacob Solem says the bizarre insistence.
	And see, that is the key thing.
	It was Trump's, when he first did it, okay, well, he just doesn't get it, and everybody's afraid to tell him.
	So that tells us something about the Trump administration as well.
	It tells you that the conservative influencers And the media, on social media, will lie to you, will manipulate you for this, but also tells you that the people around him are afraid to talk to him.
	And you know they are.
	You know that.
	Look at how angry he got with Terry Moran over this thing.
	And, yeah, let's play that.
	He wasn't a member of a gang.
	And then they looked, and on his knuckles, he had MS-13.
	There's a dispute over that.
	Wait a minute.
	Wait a minute.
	He had MS-13 on his knuckles tattooed.
	He had some tattoos that are interpreted that way.
	But let's move on.
	Wait a minute.
	Hey, Terry, Terry, Terry.
	He did not have the letter MS-13.
	It says MS-13.
	That was Photoshopped.
	That was Photoshopped.
	Terry, you can't do that.
	Hey, they're giving you the big break of a lifetime.
	You know, you're doing the interview.
	I picked you because, frankly, I never heard of you, but that's okay.
	I picked you, Terry, but you're not being very nice.
	He had MS-13 tattooed.
	We'll agree to disagree.
	I want to move on to something else.
	Do you want me to show you the picture?
	I saw the picture.
	Here we go.
	Don't Photoshop it.
	Go look at his hand.
	He did have tattoos that can be interpreted that way.
	I'm not an expert on them.
	I want to turn to Ukraine.
	No, no.
	He had MS, as clear as you can be, not interpreted.
	This is why people no longer believe the news, because it's fake news.
	When he was photographed in El Salvador, they aren't there.
	But let's just go on.
	They aren't there when he's in El Salvador.
	Oh, they weren't there, but they're there now, right?
	No.
	They're in your picture.
	Terry.
	Ukraine, sir.
	He's got MS-13 on his knuckles.
	All right.
	Okay?
	We'll take a look at that.
	It's such a disservice.
	We'll take a look at that, sir.
	Why don't you just say, yes, he does, and, you know, go on to something else.
	He's contested.
	Good for him for not bowing.
	Let's see.
	No, no.
	It's not a symbol, Scott Jennings.
	Not a symbol.
	It's on his knuckles.
	I saw it.
	And I can't tell the difference.
	Somebody got ripped off over $300 million in Bitcoin, said an elderly person, who got ripped off.
	And I thought, was that Donald Trump?
	We're supposed to believe that Donald Trump is involved in crypto.
	He's got enough money that he could lose $300 million.
	A good example of why I don't like crypto, you are exposed to the best and brightest of thieves everywhere.
	You know, the amount of money that I would have, I would not be a target.
	But still, you know, it is whatever you've got.
	Look, I mean, you know, some people, you don't have to have $300 million to have a big hit.
	It could be $300, right?
	You just don't want to expose yourself to the best and brightest of criminals around the world by being on a public blockchain.
	And so that's what they do.
	Anyway, speaking of discernment, when we have that.
	And so Trump, the new crypto master of the world, can't tell what's going on with Photoshop.
	And Scott Jennings.
	He was saying, not symbols, they're not symbols, and they're on his knuckles, and you can see it says MS-13.
	Scott Jennings, why are you lying to people?
	And of course, CNN can't show the actual clip for some reason.
	Well, Trump said, they said he's not a member of MS-13, even though he's got MS-13 tattooed on his knuckles.
	Although Trump clearly mistook those labels for ink.
	On his skin, he adamantly refused to acknowledge his embarrassing error when Moran pointed it out.
	No, he still doesn't get it.
	It isn't pride on that.
	It is pride that this guy would dispute him.
	And as I said, look, I think this Garcia guy is connected, not necessarily with MS-13, but I think he is connected with some of these cartels doing human trafficking because of the traffic stop that was in Tennessee, eight people in his car.
	None of them had any identification.
	None of them spoke English.
	The car belonged to someone else who had been convicted of trafficking and all the rest of this.
	Why isn't the Trump administration talking about that?
	You know, when they say that the guy was mistakenly sent to that prison as an MS-13 prisoner, but we're not going to bring him back because he's got MS-13 on his knuckles.
	Come on.
	Bring him back.
	Put up the real evidence.
	Do the due process.
	But instead, They want this kind of conflict.
	When Trump says something is clearly not true, does it reflect his long-standing character traits, or does it reflect the sort of cognitive decline that forced Biden to withdraw from last year's presidential race?
	At 78, Trump is four years younger than Biden.
	But by the end of his term, Trump will be older than Biden was when his disastrous debate performance made it plain that his mental faculties were slipping.
	And you can be sure that if Biden had displayed this kind of stubborn obliviousness that was evident in Trump's conversation with Moran, Republicans would have cited it as clear evidence for his encroaching senility.
	Oh, that's right.
	And so Moran said...
	Your government sent him back to El Salvador and acknowledged in court that it was a mistake.
	And that's when they got into this fight about the tattoos and the knuckles.
	Trump's manner, his tone of voice, his persistence during this exchange suggests that he sincerely believes what he's saying.
	He is not even willing to entertain the possibility that he might be wrong.
	And in Trump's mind, it is Moran, who is either mistaken or deceptive, but either way, you're nobody.
	And I gave you an interview.
	Kiss my ring.
	Right?
	That arrogance as well.
	So, he's like, consider this.
	Consider another example.
	The special tariffs on Mexico and Canadian and Chinese goods.
	Now, he justified this by talking about the flow of illicit fentanyl.
	And the explanation that Trump offered on Truth Social last month was this.
	He said, the aim of taxing imports from Canada, he said, was to, quote, penalize Canada for the sale into our country of large amounts of fentanyl by tariffing the value of this horrible and deadly drug in order to make it more costly to distribute and buy.
	What?
	What are you talking about?
	That's reason said.
	So, we're supposed to believe that people are trafficking fentanyl.
	Are going to pay the tariffs.
	That's what Trump actually put out.
	I'll read that again.
	We did this by trafficking the value of the, tariffing the value of this horrible and deadly drug in order to make it more costly to distribute in Dubai.
	What in the world is he talking about?
	Look, I've seen in the past with the war on drugs, you had, so they could add penalties and stuff like that to people.
	They love to stack up charges.
	So people don't take it to court.
	So you don't have plea bargaining and all the rest of this stuff.
	So they do have plea bargaining.
	So you don't have jury notification.
	So you don't have jury trials.
	They like to stack the stuff up.
	Take a plea bargain will make a lot of this stuff go away.
	So one of the things that they've done in the past is with marijuana, they would set up a law and say, if you want to sell marijuana, you have to get a marijuana permit from the state.
	Well, of course, nobody is going to get a permit to sell something that is going to put them in jail if they know that you're selling it, right?
	In the same way that nobody is going to pay a tariff to smuggle and fentanyl, which would put you in jail.
	It was just there.
	They did put the law on the books in some states so they could throw another charge at you and just stack them up.
	But nobody ever.
	Got a license to sell illegal prohibited marijuana.
	And nobody's going to get a license or pay a tariff to sell fentanyl.
	That's insane.
	I had not seen that before.
	Jacob Sullivan on Reason.
	He says, as Brian Dordery on Reason noted, that description suggests Trump's understanding of what he's even doing is deficient.
	Since he seems to think that his tariffs will be taxing and thus raising the price of the illegal fentanyl that he fantasizes is flooding the U.S. from Canada.
	Was Joe Biden ever more detached?
	I mean, we can look at this, and I've said this in the past.
	It's like, oh, okay.
	This is just a cynical lie so that he has an excuse to create an emergency and act as a dictator.
	And that's what he does with everything.
	But then when you see his posts about this, you have to ask yourself, does he really believe his own lies?
	This is like the MS-13 stuff.
	That's the other thing, too.
	Nobody wanted to tell him.
	Nobody wanted to say, you know, Joe over in this other department, he's the one who added the MS-13 there as an example.
	Nobody wanted to tell him after Trump had said that publicly.
	Nobody wanted to go back and tell him.
	So now he truly believes it.
	He's going to fight with Terry Moran over that.
	And everybody's like, can somebody tell him?
	I'm not telling him.
	You tell him.
	If I tell him he's going to get sewing, he'll fire the guy who did the photoshopping.
	He'll fire me for telling him.
	If Trump thinks he's tariffing the value of this horrible and deadly drug in order to make it more costly to distribute and buy, He said he imagines drug traffickers whose entire business model is based on defying the law, nevertheless,
	are keen to comply with his new taxes by declaring their imports to the border and forking over 25% of their value.
	Do you have anything to declare?
	Yeah, I've got some fentanyl here, and I'd like to pay the tax on it.
	Like the highly incriminating but imaginary tattoos, his assertions that drug smugglers are paying tariffs seems like a fantasy rather than a lie.
	I believe that it was Anthony Scaramucci who said first the oft-repeated thing about Trump.
	Don't take him literally, but seriously.
	No, no, no.
	Don't take him seriously.
	Take him literally.
	It's just the other way around.
	Don't take Trump seriously.
	Take him literally.
	So, when we look at what happened in Canada, what we're talking about, fentanyl, Trump declared his love for Mark Carney.
	Folks are part of the same club.
	They're part of the World Economic Forum.
	It was 10 days before Trump's HHS, big pharmaceutical guy, Head of HHS, former CEO of Eli Lilly, Alex Azar.
	Trump goes to the World Economic Forum in January of 2020.
	January the 21st.
	January the 31st.
	His big pharma CEO at HHS declares a pandemic in the U.S. That was January the 31st.
	There was no cases.
	They said, oh, we got six cases in the entire country.
	They declared it an emergency.
	And then Trump released, based on the declared emergency, he released the emergency funding that controlled everything on Friday the 13th, March 2020.
	Now, I've always said, since everybody was on the same page and everybody was doing the same thing with lockdown and lockstep, did he get his marching orders and everything?
	Was that World Economic Forum thing?
	Was that the final plan?
	Now we look at Mark Carney, who, folks, is really...
	More dangerous than Klaus Schwab.
	You know, we've had situations where most of these presidents that we've had in my lifetime have been puppets of the CIA.
	Except we had George H.W. Bush.
	And this was the guy who ran the CIA that was there.
	That's why I said, Mark Carney is to the World Economic Forum and the globalists what George H.W. Bush was to the CIA.
	And Trump wanted him in.
	He says, he's a nice gentleman.
	He says, I actually think the conservative guy hated me much more than the so-called liberal.
	And he's a pretty liberal guy, he said.
	So he admits that he attempted to destroy the conservatives in Canada because he would like to have Mark Carney win.
	The core world economic forum guy, as I said.
	This is like getting Klaus Schwab elected as Chancellor of Germany.
	Polyev, who also lost his seat, the Conservatives, did manage to pick up 20 new seats.
	But back in March, Trump said at the time he had, quote, an extremely productive call with Carney, and he implied that the World Economic Forum-linked politicians would win Canada's upcoming federal election.
	And he did everything he could to make that happen.
	Trolling Canadians, calling it the 51st state, and doing it less than 24 hours before the election, he did it again.
	It had enraged the Canadians to the extent they're booing Americans at hockey events and all the rest, booing the national anthem and the flag.
	He also said before the election that he would prefer Carney to continue as Canada's prime minister instead of Polyev.
	But what everybody saw was his trolling of the 51st state, and everybody associated that with Polyev.
	People voted against Trump.
	If you wanted to vote against Trump, you should have voted against Mark Carney.
	Because that's who Trump wanted.
	And, of course, they don't directly vote for the prime minister.
	51st state nonsense fueled a wave of anti-American sentiment in Canada.
	The mainstream press say that Polyev was a, quote, Trump-lite, unquote.
	So, go for Carney.
	Polyev, at the time, had hit back at Trump, saying the reason that Trump endorsed Carney was that he, quote, knows that...
	I would be a tough negotiator, he said.
	Many political pundits have said that Carney owes his win to Trump.
	Carney's win has sparked a constitutional crisis, says LifeSite News.
	Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said that her province could soon consider taking serious steps towards greater autonomy from Canada in light of Carney's win.
	Oh, 4D chess, they say.
	No.
	No.
	No?
	You're being played as a pawn.
	This guy is part of the globalist, folks.
	He is a New York Democrat.
	He's a World Economic Forum globalist.
	Donald Trump is a World Economic Forum globalist.
	Forget all the PR.
	Forget all the professional wrestling nonsense.
	That's what he really is.
	Look at what he does, not at what he says.
	Carney, like Trudeau, says LifeSite News.
	has extensive ties to both China and the globalist world economic forum and all the central bankers.
	I mean, central banker of Canada and then central banker of England.
	Connections that were brought up routinely by conservatives in the lead up to the election.
	Palio's defeat comes as many social conservatives felt betrayed by him.
	More than once on the campaign trail, he promised to maintain the status quo on abortion, which is permitted through all nine months of pregnancy.
	He also supports euthanasia.
	He failed to directly address a number of moral issues like the LGBT agenda.
	He is also fully on board with the climate, MacGuffin.
	Is he really a conservative?
	No.
	But is he as deeply embedded in all of this stuff as Mark Carney?
	No.
	No.
	And it's Mark Carney that Trump wants.
	How many times does Trump have to fall in line in actions?
	With the World Economic Forum, even as he's telling you how much he, you know, is a nationalist and all the rest of the stuff.
	But he didn't even say that with Mark Carney.
	He didn't even say that with Mark Carney.
	He even publicly said he supported him.
	So, Trump is also suggesting suspending habeas corpus.
	Tyrants like Lincoln and FDR, people who completely restructured our government.
	At those fourth turnings of the Civil War, World War II, it's the kind of person who completely restructures your government that will also get rid of habeas corpus, one of the longest traditions of freedom that we have in the West,
	along with things like free speech that he doesn't care for either.
	Trump is suggesting bypassing habeas corpus in order to get past the judges that are blocking his deportations.
	You see, once you...
	Once they create a problem like this, now we have to do whatever is necessary.
	I'm going to have to force you to get ID to live your life.
	Everybody in the U.S. is going to have to have a real ID.
	They're going to have to have a digital ID.
	You're going to have to have an ID to get online.
	You're going to have to have my permission, mandatory e-verify, in order to get a job.
	And on and on and on.
	And we have to do this because of this problem.
	Oh, now we've got to suspend habeas corpus as well.
	Hmm.
	Trump opened the door on Wednesday to suspending the writ of habeas corpus, a rarely used constitutional power to advance mass deportations.
	So he could advance mass deportations.
	He said that he was asked about this and, you know, what are you going to do to mitigate the situation?
	He says, well, one way has been used by three very highly respected presidents.
	We hope we don't have to go that route.
	Now, let me tell you, this was a setup.
	This is a question that was asked to him by D.C. Drano, the propagandist.
	They call him an influencer.
	Rogan Hanley.
	These are the guys that showed up, you know, along with libs of TikTok, they show up with a Jeffrey Epstein paper.
	Look, we got the Epstein.
	And it was nothing, right?
	They do a big photo op and tell everybody, look, the most transparent president we've ever had.
	True.
	Transparently a fraud.
	And so were they.
	And so Rogan O 'Hanley, Also known as D.C. Drano, is allowed to go to the White House press conference and ask questions of Trump.
	I wonder if they talked about this.
	You know, what are you going to do to actually deliver for the American people?
	Because, look, Trump is not a scholar of history.
	And he said, we've had very highly respected three presidents who have done this.
	Well, what is that?
	Well, people worked it out.
	It's getting rid of habeas corpus.
	Lincoln, Grant, FDR, they all suspended habeas corpus, all corrupt dictators, set against the Constitution, set to restructure,
	redefine, redesign our society, just like Trump.
	The U.S. Constitution says that habeas corpus may only be suspended, quote, Cases of rebellion or invasion of the public.
	So, again, he's going to make that case again.
	Oh, we're being invaded and it is an emergency, blah, blah, blah.
	I'm going to suspend habeas corpus.
	Maybe he'll follow up with Lincoln.
	Maybe he'll start jailing congressmen who disagree with him.
	Come after congressmen and governors and put them in jail.
	That's wonderful.
	Our wonderful President Lincoln who did that kind of stuff.
	Meanwhile, the mass deportations are not even happening.
	There's all this storm and fury signifying nothing about all this stuff.
	Federal data shows that there's not been a significant jump in immigrants deported since Trump took office.
	Mass deportations have not occurred.
	The numbers show removals are lagging behind levels during the Biden administration.
	And this doesn't have anything to do with the judges yet.
	They'll jump in on this.
	But this is prior to that.
	Sue Long.
	Co-founder of the nonpartisan Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse said, Frankly, I was shocked when she looked at the stats on immigration.
	She said, Early on, the Trump administration touted the number of daily immigration arrests, but they've never shared detailed deportation figures.
	Long was able to calculate recent deportation figures using a cumulative number deep inside a spreadsheet that ICE is required by law to keep updated for Congress.
	She said they're lower.
	Their daily average is simply 10% lower than it was during Biden.
	Phony, posturing, propaganda, lies.
	Well, we're going to take a break, and when we come back, we're going to take a look at this little cabinet meeting, which I think is also instructive in terms of their mindset.
	On Rumble, Chevkin says, I can't believe this is the best America could come up with.
	No, it's judgment from God, quite frankly.
	I'm serious about that.
	I'm serious.
	How do we get the dregs of society consistently in?
	It's an indication of the corruption and the vile nature of Washington, but I think it is also a judgment from God that we have people like this selected as leaders who are our country.
	And it will work out that way as well.
	On Rumble, Star Barkley says he's a narcissist.
	They can't admit they're wrong.
	They will lie their face off until you back down, and they will never back down.
	Yeah, that's exactly it.
	It is truly amazing.
	Well, we're going to take a quick break, and we'll be right back.
	I was looking for a song that I heard that I haven't played for a while, but I don't see it here.
	Well, we'll just go with this.
	Thank you.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Welcome back on Rumble.
	Guard Goldsmith, good to see you, Guard.
	Liberty Conspiracy, every Monday through Friday on Rumble as well as on X. He says that D.C. Drano quote, he told Bannon that.
	Get this, the president could suspend habeas based on Article 1, Section 9. Well, that's what I just read.
	It can only be suspended in cases of rebellion or invasion, blah, blah, blah.
	That's what he said.
	Both of those guys are people.
	D.C. Drano, Bannon, I don't pay any attention to them.
	Get your information from Guard.
	I mean, seriously.
	Seriously.
	Those guys have an agenda.
	They will lie to you.
	Look, we try to tell you, give you our honest opinion and why we believe it.
	That's not what they do.
	By the way, let me thank some of the people on Zell who began the month here.
	This is contributions yesterday.
	Terry M., Peter H., Kevin M., Maurice W., Kelly K., Gregory I., John S., Jared U., William D., and Michael L. Thank you so much for helping us as we begin this new month,
	and hopefully we won't get so far behind this month.
	Let's talk a little bit about this cabinet meeting.
	This was posted up, and one guy had put up on a Twitter feed, Carl Mehta.
	And he put up a little clip from pretty much every person going around the table on here.
	President Trump just hosted a high-stakes cabinet meeting at the White House.
	Well, you know what the high stakes were.
	You better, first of all, give Trump credit for everything that happened.
	Okay, we could have never done it.
	Flatter him, butter him up one side and down the other.
	That's the high stakes, or you're going to lose.
	Don't take credit for this without giving it to him.
	One by one, top cabinet members delivered major announcements directly reporting to the American people.
	So this is a little photo op that was done.
	I think it's interesting.
	To see how many people are there.
	Well, you talk about a bloated government.
	You talk about a government that is involved in one thing after the other.
	These minor departments, well, they're not minor.
	They have budgets of tens or hundreds of billions of dollars.
	And when you look at it...
	You realize just how out of control government is.
	But I want you to look at how these people suck up to the narcissist.
	Rubio.
	President, I think you deserve a lot of credit for two things.
	The first is assembling this great team of people, some of whom I've owned for, who I've forgotten to know during this period of time, but putting together a team, not just of talented individuals, but that work well together.
	President, your first 100 days has far exceeded that of any other president in this country.
	Ever.
	Ever.
	Never seen anything like it.
	Thank you.
	Your directive to me was very simple.
	Make America safe.
	And despite that, Mr. President, You are 100% correct.
	The border is 99.99% safe, under control.
	Sir, it's been a momentous 100 days with you at the helm, and I view this 100 days as setting the table for peace deals, trade deals, tax deals.
	So the next 100 days will be harvesting.
	You've created negotiating leverage and leadership that are going to yield remarkable results.
	Traditionally in the past, and it's one of the problems we got in as a country, Yeah.
	It's moving.
	You know the direction because you know why you were elected.
	American people elected you very clearly.
	And basically it's measured, I used to say by days and weeks, now it's measured by hours and minutes.
	But action is happening.
	And that's what people want to see.
	We don't need no stinking studies.
	Come on.
	Let's do it.
	Every hour, every few minutes, we get a different tariff rate.
	Because, you know, that's what the American people wanted.
	They said, you know, we want somebody who's going to raise our taxes and tell us that somebody else is going to lie to our face and tell us that somebody else is going to pay the taxes.
	That's what we want.
	Isn't that what you voted for if you voted?
	I didn't vote.
	There's nothing on the menu that I could swallow without throwing up, so I didn't vote.
	But, yeah, that's what we voted for.
	We don't need any stinking studies.
	We know that Americans want more taxes.
	They want higher prices on everything.
	And that's what we voted for.
	And we didn't do a study.
	We don't know, when we put these taxes on, we don't know how it's going to run out there.
	We haven't thought about...
	Locking down the supply chain.
	So we'll adjust to that when the supply chain locks down.
	Then we'll think about something to do, maybe.
	And we'll react to that.
	You know, Scott Besson says, well, we have set the table.
	No, what you have done is you have sown seeds of chaos, and you're going to reap the whirlwind.
	And so are we.
	That's the reality of this.
	This is stuff that changes every couple hours.
	That's supposed to be a feature?
	I think it's a bug.
	Let's take a look at Sean Duffy, for example.
	And he talks about how they reduce the corporate average fuel economy, the CAFE standard, right?
	And that's a good thing.
	I'm glad that they're reducing it.
	But I wonder why they're not getting rid of it.
	But I'll just let him make his case, and I've got several things to say about the mindset of what is there.
	In other words, I look at this and say, okay, yeah, I'm all for...
	Lowering the emission standards or the fuel economy standards.
	Not the emissions, but the fuel economy standards.
	I'm all for lowering it.
	Doesn't matter.
	I want to get rid of it.
	And I'm all for making sure that we don't have a surcharge for carbon taxes put on infrastructure.
	And I'm all for following the law, you know, except the problem is he thinks that following the law is obeying Trump's executive orders.
	That's not law.
	And, you know, when we look at that, it just underscores the fact these people understand.
	Trump understands.
	All of them understand.
	Everybody understands except the MAGA voters who don't want to understand.
	They know better.
	They won't ever admit that Trump controlled the lockdown, the masks, the ventilators, the remdesivir, because he paid these hospitals to do it.
	But let's hear what Sean Duffy has to say.
	He's the Transportation Secretary.
	He took Pete Buttigieg's place.
	Cafe standards, we have the fuel economy standards on vehicles that are going to go to 50 miles per gallon.
	We are going to rewrite those standards, bring it down to something that's far more reasonable.
	Elon's fine with that, I hope.
	But it's going to drive down the price of a car in America, making cars more affordable for families.
	Also, Biden had the social cost of credit when we build infrastructure, roads and bridges, adding three to five percent on infrastructure costs.
	We've got rid of the social cost of carbon, driving down the cost to build roads and bridges across the country.
	We have what is called "follow the law."
	So we have so many states and municipalities that don't follow the law.
	So whether it's DEI, discriminating against Americans, Whether they give a legal driver's license or their sanctuary cities or states, if you don't follow the law, if you're giving license to illegals, if you're having DEI policies,
	we're not going to fund your projects.
	So you've got to certify in your state or in your city to get road and bridge money or rail money that you're actually following the law, which includes executive orders from you, Mr. President.
	All right, let's talk about what that tells us a little bit about the mindset of Washington.
	It's pretty standard stuff.
	I don't have any axe to grind with Sean Duffy.
	I don't know him, know where he comes from or his background or anything.
	And, you know, what he's saying here, I'm not picking on him, because what he's saying here is pretty much boilerplate, uniparty version of government here.
	But let's just think about it here.
	Number one, we're going to reduce CAFE.
	Okay, well, that's good.
	You know, the corporate average fuel economy.
	But first of all, understand this is not going to be any immediate relief on the price of cars.
	Biden was going to continue to jack it up to 50 miles per gallon, which is going to make cars, basically he's doing that to ban internal combustion engines.
	You know, they came after Volkswagen.
	You know, Trump didn't do anything to roll that back either in his first term.
	Came after Volkswagen because Volkswagen, as Eric Peters has pointed out many times, had a 100-mile-per-gallon diesel engine that was going to last forever, pretty much, about as forever as you're going to get in this world.
	And a very durable engine that got 100 miles per gallon, had to shut it down, said, you cheated on your corporate average fuel economy test, right?
	Use that to...
	Hit them with billions of dollars of fines.
	As Eric Peters and I have talked about many times, they've had situations, faulty designs, you know, exploding Pintos from back when we were in college.
	Karen had a Pinto.
	Fortunately, she didn't have it for too long.
	Somebody stole it from her.
	Anyway, that's another story.
	There's some really stupid people out there.
	You steal a Pinto.
	You got a Pinto because you can't afford another car.
	But somebody would steal that.
	The Pintos that had a problem.
	And they made a very...
	The key thing about that was that the company made a very cynical decision and said, you know, it'll be cheaper for us to pay a few people who get burned to death in a car, pay their families, than it would be for us to add this $50 part to each and every Pinto that we sell.
	You know, that type of calculation.
	It was really reprehensible.
	And then you've got the airbags mandated by government, which...
	Don't do anything to help anybody at all.
	Seatbelts do help people, but airbags don't.
	As a matter of fact, if you have the airbag there, the supplemental restraint system, if you have that there and you don't wear your seatbelts, then it's much worse.
	And of course, when they put them out, the seatbelts were adjusted for the average male, not for women and certainly not for small children.
	And so they were injuring, seriously injuring.
	And killing women and small children.
	As a matter of fact, if you look at the guy from North Carolina, he was in a wheelchair, a young man in a wheelchair.
	I can't remember his name.
	But he was paralyzed because he was asleep in the car with his feet up on the dashboard.
	And it had a minor accident, but it was big enough to shoot off the...
	The airbag.
	And, you know, he would never, very athletic, never walk again.
	Anyway, the Madison Cawthorn.
	Thank you.
	That's good.
	Thank you.
	Thanks, Travis.
	Yeah, Madison Cawthorn.
	So, anyway, airbags, blowing up, faulty airbags.
	And we had, you know, about 20 deaths or so worldwide, exploding and shooting scrapnel into somebody's chest, that type of thing.
	But they never got the kind of punishment that Volkswagen did for, quote-unquote, cheating on an emissions test.
	So there's this cafe thing.
	Okay, so it's not going to be any immediate relief, and guess what?
	It's still there.
	What Sean Duffy did not say is, okay, they're not going to escalate it to 50 miles per gallon.
	Are they going to leave it where it is now?
	Are they going to roll it back to some earlier thing?
	They should get rid of it altogether.
	The federal government doesn't have any authority to do that.
	Now, they gave themselves, what I was surprised, first of all, to see that this is something in the Department of Transportation.
	Because what they did was they gave the Department of Energy, they gave them, Congress gave them a power that Congress didn't have to give.
	And that was to set regulations about fuel efficiency.
	That was the Department of Energy.
	The EPA was given the ability to start regulating people based on emissions.
	And it wasn't about climate change.
	It was about pollution when it started.
	So this is all mission creep and everything.
	But those two things, the ability to dictate efficiency and the ability to dictate emissions, those need to be taken away.
	Those are laws that were passed by Congress in violation of the 10th Amendment.
	But he's not saying that they're taking away the corporate average fuel economy mandate.
	And he doesn't say to what level they're going to reset it.
	So that's the first problem.
	Even if they were to lower it, guess what?
	Next time somebody else comes in, they may shoot it through the roof.
	Because it's just a dictate and can go either way.
	So if you leave that horrible thing there, Somebody's going to pick it up and use it as a weapon again, and they're not getting rid of it.
	They're leaving it there.
	And then the other thing he said about the corporate average fuel economy, he says, well, I hope Elon is okay with this.
	Now, he's joking, but he's not joking.
	And because, you know, these guys like Elon Musk, they invest in these politicians to get what they want from them.
	And Elon Musk, and everybody knows it, not just in that room, Elon Musk became the world's richest man by exploiting these kinds of emissions standards, by exploiting this nonsense of net zero and all the rest of this.
	Second thing, Biden had put on an arbitrary fee for carbon stuff of, he said, 3 to 5 percent.
	3 to 5 percent.
	Okay?
	And that was a carbon social cost.
	A carbon social cost.
	Added 3-5% surcharge to all the infrastructure projects.
	He said, we've taken that off.
	Well, good.
	Good.
	Problem is, what has Trump added?
	Trump has added a 25% tariff on steel that's going to be used on all these construction projects.
	So he takes off the 3-5% nonsense carbon social cost fee from Biden.
	And then Trump puts on a 25% fee on the steal.
	Are you tired of winning?
	Okay, then he says, and then we tell them, you have to do what we say.
	Follow the law.
	And that means executive orders.
	So, again, you got an executive order?
	You don't use DEI now.
	If you do, we're going to take away your money, okay?
	Trump never took away people's money if they put masks on people, right?
	As a matter of fact, he kept the money flowing.
	He sent them money so they would do that kind of stuff.
	And there was never a time in 2020 where Trump says, you stop that, you bad Democrat governors, you stop those masks and the social distancing nonsense and locking down small mom-and-pop businesses.
	No, he said the mom-and-pop businesses are not essential.
	Lock them down.
	And here's some money.
	And I'm going to keep sending you money.
	Because I agree with what you're doing.
	But now, I don't agree with the DEI.
	So I'm going to pull your money back.
	Even for infrastructure projects.
	And you've got to follow the law.
	Which is in my mouth.
	My emergency orders.
	You see?
	That's where we are now.
	Guard says, oh man, that's nauseating.
	They're going around looking at all these people, sucking up to Trump.
	I tell you, I can't stand politics, whether it's office politics, national politics.
	I can't stand that stuff, because it's all about that.
	It's all about that.
	On Rumble, she liaises, Musk is another DARPA frontman.
	Oh yeah, absolutely.
	Yeah, you know, DARPA's very first contest was the self-driving vehicles.
	Very first one.
	And that's what he has championed from the very beginning.
	They also had a big robotics contest as well.
	But yeah, he's a front man for DARPA.
	And so then we go to Brooke Rollins, the Ag Secretary.
	And she has this to say.
	Well, I'm not sure if anyone's heard, but the price of eggs is down.
	I know it's news.
	Today, as we celebrate the 100th day, I think that it's just such a joy and an honor to continue to do this work.
	So thank you for that.
	Yeah, thank you, thank you, thank you.
	The price of eggs are down.
	But thank you, Trump.
	You're responsible for that, you know.
	Have they stopped killing chickens?
	USDA was solely responsible for this nonsense.
	Nobody else in the world is killing their chickens except us.
	And yet, when you, as the Hill points out, egg companies are getting government bailouts.
	And it's actually increased now at the very beginning of the Trump administration.
	They're getting government bailouts, these big egg companies, are getting government bailouts while they are price-gouging consumers.
	He says, gouging consumers is bad enough, but it gets worse.
	CalMain and other ag companies were breaking the bank at the same time.
	They were also quietly getting millions in taxpayer-funded relief payments from the federal government.
	And so he says, 115 million egg-laying chickens have been called in response to flu outbreaks.
	No, actually, they were called by the USDA.
	Unnecessarily.
	It made no sense.
	It made no more sense than the six feet apart or the mask.
	As a matter of fact, it contradicted all sense, just as those did.
	He says, Congress and the Trump administration must put a stop to this.
	But here we are, a hundred days in.
	They didn't do anything about it.
	And as government officials always do, they take credit for everything.
	The egg prices have gone down because production, even though the egg prices went up with the stuff that they were doing, production only dipped about 4%.
	And a lot of this stuff was just manipulation of the marketplace.
	And these big companies are getting government money while they are getting record profits.
	It's absolutely amazing.
	And you stop and think about this.
	Even after the federal government killed 110 million chickens, For the benefit of these big ag companies, production only dropped by 4%.
	What do you think would have happened if they hadn't killed the 110 million chickens?
	What do you think production would have been?
	Let's just take this down the conspiracy theory road here.
	Could it be possible that these big companies that get so much government subsidy And have everything handed to them on a silver platter as they get bigger and bigger and bigger?
	Could they have gone to the Biden administration and said, you know, we're going to have a glut of eggs.
	Can you help us out on this?
	Can we pretend there's going to be bird flu?
	And can we have a response to that to be to kill 110 million chickens?
	And yet even when they did that, production only dipped 4%.
	Can you imagine if they hadn't killed the 110 million chickens, what would have happened?
	Who knows?
	The relatively modest decrease in egg supply, even with 110 million chickens killed, shouldn't have led to the exorbitant prices confronting consumers at the supermarket.
	Yet, egg producers have used the so-called bird flu as an opportunity to massively pad their profit margins.
	As Farm Action's letter...
	Puts that, quote, dominant egg producers, particularly Cal Maine Foods, have leveraged the crisis to raise prices, to amass record profits, and to consolidate market power.
	Now the Department of Justice is investigating Cal Maine for alleged price fixing.
	So we'll see what happens.
	We'll see what happens.
	Maybe Pam Bondi will come after them.
	Don't keep your...
	Don't get your hopes up.
	While big ag companies are ripping off consumers with one hand, they're taking taxpayer-funded bailouts with the other.
	The U.S. Department of Agriculture, while it's out there killing 110 million chickens, gave Cal Maine $22 million in bird flu relief last year, gave millions more to other major egg producers, Under an indemnity program, the department provides monetary relief to compensate farmers when they destroy animals.
	But here's the deal, as we pointed out before.
	The small companies, they go in, they kill everything.
	Everything.
	Not the sick birds.
	You get one PCR-positive test procedure.
	It's not a test.
	And you kill every bird in that area.
	Now, the big producers are not put out of business, but the small producers are put out of business with that.
	Even if they get paid for the birds, they're put out of business.
	So Brooke Rollins, he said, may adopt any regulations that she deems necessary.
	I have a problem with that, frankly.
	But this person doesn't at the Hill.
	So she could adopt any regulation that she thinks is necessary to carry out the department's bird flu compensation program.
	She could, accordingly, add mandatory fair pricing as a condition of payment.
	For producers receiving indemnity funds.
	So what this guy is saying is, you know, let's keep paying them, and then let's give them some strings and say, you know, when we do this, you can't engage in monopolistic price fixing, okay?
	So if we're going to give you some money, you can't, you know, weaponize your monopoly.
	That's pretty mild, isn't it?
	We'll let you have the monopoly, and we'll give you the money, but just don't weaponize it.
	This would be particularly appropriate, he says, given that the Secretary recently made the program even more generous.
	Brooke Rollins just doubled the rate of payment to the producers.
	It's going the other way.
	Yeah, subsidies to these producers are up.
	And the egg prices maybe went down a little bit.
	Compared to what?
	No strings attached.
	Federal bailouts may even propagate.
	Bird flu by diminishing the incentives companies have to adopt safer, more biosecure production practices.
	In other words, the Hill wants all the birds to be vaccinated.
	Yeah, that's what we really want to have.
	So stop giving them subsidies.
	Just tell them they've got to vaccinate all the birds.
	And you know, when we look at how phony this is, I always talk about the wild birds, right?
	Why aren't the wild birds dying?
	As a matter of fact, the wild birds are not dying in Michigan.
	The wild geese.
	Are just exploding in population in spite of the bird flu epidemic.
	How could that be?
	You know, these chickens that are locked up in cages, stacked on top of each other.
	I wonder if any of them are sick, if it could be the conditions that they keep them in.
	So they have these birds concentrated, and they never get out.
	They never are able to walk or move.
	They're concentrated in these cages.
	You know, inside of a building.
	And yet we've got to be worried about the fact that wild birds are going to get them sick.
	The wild birds are going everywhere.
	They're going across the border into Mexico or Canada and all the rest.
	But, you know, the wild birds are not falling out of the sky.
	As a matter of fact, the population of the wild birds is exploding.
	How could that be if there's a bird flu epidemic that we have to protect the chickens from the wild birds?
	So they said there is a growing geese population.
	And it's so bad in Michigan, we're going to have to gas them to death.
	There we go.
	Got to give them the gas chamber.
	That's the only way, the only solution that we can have.
	So how does that happen when the USDA has to kill 110 million chickens?
	You know what they need to do?
	They need to call geese busters.
	He knows what to do.
	You don't have to gas the geese.
	Gas busters.
	They're also gas busters.
	They don't want people to have natural gas.
	Kill birds, right?
	Kill geese.
	You can't use it to eat your home, but they can kill as many geese as they want, and it will not cause any global warming as they do that.
	This is sounding very World War I. Are we going to start trench warfare with the geese next?
	Start shelling them back and forth?
	Yeah, I had an uncle who had been gassed in World War I. And he was ancient when I was very young.
	But he, they had to, it had caused some complications.
	They had to remove his voice box.
	It was the first time I made a big impression on me as a young child.
	Because he had this, you know, thing.
	He sounded like a Cylon, you know, the robots.
	He had this thing that he put up next to his throat.
	And you could hear the vibration, but it was really hard to make out what he was saying.
	But what made an even bigger impression was that he had a hole in his throat.
	And he smoked cigarettes.
	Sticking the cigarette, not in his mouth, but in his throat.
	I mean, it was something else.
	He was very, very old when I was very young.
	So, yeah, Geese Buster says, hunting is driving geese into the cities.
	Well, there you go.
	There you go.
	Yeah, but the population is exploding.
	And, you know, they're not dying.
	Even if the population is not exploding, even if they're just being driven into the cities by the hunting, they're not dying.
	They're not dying.
	And the birds in the city, the pigeons, are not falling over dead either.
	So an overpopulation of geese, they said, golf courses, parks, lakes, lake associations, people who hire geese busters and should hire him, say they are a public health risk.
	Yeah, they can get really dirty.
	These decisions are being left to a handful of lakefront homeowners who want the geese exterminated for convenience.
	Again, you know, 110 million chickens killed, but we can't stop that.
	On Rumble, Sheely A. Oh, I did read that before.
	On Kik, Jay Hill, thank you very much.
	Gifted a subscription on Kik.
	Thank you so much.
	We're going to take a quick break, folks, and we'll be right back.
	be right back.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	And I wanted to thank the people who sent checks for the last week of April.
	Mary N., Michael T., Peter P., Arlene and Gregory R., Matthew H., Jack H., Phillip and Kelly M., Dale L., Imelda D., and David and Ann Marie W. Thank you so much.
	Again, it's a program that's supported.
	Primarily by voluntary contributions, and we really do appreciate those contributions.
	We thank everybody who keeps this program going and sending that in.
	If you want to find out how you can support the program, you can see that at davidknight.news, and of course you can also see where the program goes up, live stream, as well as where we put the archives up with video, as well as with audio podcasts.
	You can find all that at davidknight.news.
	Well, let's take a look at what we looked at to sycophants.
	Okay, here's what happens when you're not a sycophant.
	If you're not a sycophant of Trump, he will sick the government on you like a mad dog.
	And that's what he's doing to Chris Krebs, the former head of CISA, the cybersecurity agency.
	Trump put him in there.
	And he hired him.
	And now he has...
	Targeted him.
	And quite frankly, I've always opposed the cybersecurity agency, CISA.
	It was CISPA for the longest time.
	They took the P out.
	They tried several times pushing it through, and of course, Europe had the similar things.
	SOPA, ACTA, PIPA.
	There was also CISPA.
	They took the P out.
	The P was for protection.
	They didn't want you to realize who they were really protecting.
	The purpose of this thing was not to protect you.
	The purpose was really to protect the companies that are Turning over all the information about you that they grab, turning it over to the government to make sure that they can't be sued.
	That's a big, big part of why CISA existed.
	And of course, Aaron Schwartz fought it, fought all these things, and defeated all of them.
	They were able to pass this over his dead body.
	They charged him.
	It was a phony charge, silly charge.
	They charged him with accessing the data at some Harvard facility.
	They accused him of accessing the data.
	The people there locally, state and local people said, no, there's no crime here.
	The feds came in.
	And the feds charged him.
	And he was fighting them.
	And he had fought them over and over.
	The guy was a fighter.
	He'd been there.
	Several times.
	As I said, CISPA had been defeated several times.
	He was really leading the opposition to that.
	And so they came up with charges against him.
	And Carmine Ortiz was the federal attorney that they were grooming for higher office of governor or senator or something like that.
	And she came after him with Something that's going to be like a 30-year jail sentence.
	But he was pretty defiant about it.
	And as I said, he'd been a fighter.
	And then he commits suicide, quote-unquote.
	And people said she drove him to suicide.
	Carmine Ortiz's husband put a social media post up and said she didn't do that.
	She offered him a plea bargain of 30 days and suspended sentence if he would go along with his stuff.
	And he refused that.
	And then her husband took that down.
	Her career was over, though, because Aaron Schwartz was a hero to a lot of people.
	And whether or not they killed him or whether or not they drove him to suicide, it was still on her.
	It also came out that she had used the civil asset forfeiture nonsense against a hotel in Massachusetts.
	She confiscated the entire hotel because over a period of 15 years, they had three drug arrests there.
	And again, civil asset forfeiture, they didn't charge the hotel owners with any crimes.
	They said, well, we know that you're not involved in this, but your hotel was an accessory to some crimes.
	Three, as a matter of fact, over 15 years.
	So we're taking the hotel.
	She was evil incarnate.
	You know, when you look at the federal government, that's the way this thing's set up.
	So let's get back to Chris Krebs.
	This is a guy that Trump picked to run this agency that shouldn't exist.
	CISA.
	Cybersecurity Infrastructure Security Agency.
	And so now, you know, we had Trump proudly pull up Chris Krebb and there was another person.
	Then he said, I'm signing this executive order for the Department of Justice to investigate these individuals.
	And I played that for you because I think that is pretty significant.
	That's like Joseph Stalin.
	Bring me the man.
	I'll find the crime.
	He didn't say, this guy committed a crime.
	He said, he was very unfair to us during the election.
	He didn't go along with the idea that the election was stolen.
	The head of CISA didn't go along with that.
	And so Trump issued the executive order to target Krebs because he said that Krebs had defended the integrity of the 2020 election that he was trying to undermine.
	The directive instructed Attorney General Pam Bondi and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard to suspend security clearances held by Krebs and people working at entities associated with him, including at the cybersecurity company where he now works,
	and also to investigate them to see if they could find a crime.
	CISA, here's the crime.
	This is the crime.
	And now they're going to see if they can find a crime.
	To lock him up with.
	But they're going to punish him.
	First of all, this Global Entry Traveler Program, they had that revoked from him.
	And what is that?
	Well, you know, it's one of these, you know, pre-scan things.
	You know, if you're traveling internationally or whatever, because they have become such a pain, you can pay a membership.
	You know, it's like $100 or $200 or something to get into this thing.
	And then for a certain number, they investigate you thoroughly.
	And they give you a special pass so that you can get away from some of this TSA harassment when you travel.
	And so he was in that program.
	He had paid to be in that program.
	And so they canceled him out of the Global Entry Traveler Program.
	And what was his crime?
	His real crime.
	And we're going to see if we can find some other crimes to lock this guy up and really punish him for what he did.
	Because what he did was...
	CISA had released a joint statement days after the November 3rd, 2020 election, saying that it was the, quote, most secure in election in American history, quote, no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes,
	changed votes, or was in any way compromised.
	Oh, we got to get him.
	Got to get him.
	Got to punish him for doing something like that.
	And as I've said over and over again, you know, the idea that was being sold by this stuff was a horrific grift.
	It resulted in the Stop the Steal stuff that Alex Jones was doing, made tens of millions of dollars that Trump did, made hundreds of millions of dollars.
	He made over $250 million off the Save America thing, right?
	And then through their very supporters who were giving them money, through them under the bus, January the 6th, Leading them into a situation that was nothing other than pure entrapment.
	Two days after that November the 3rd election on a Thursday, you had Steve Pachenik.
	I'm just going to play a short thing about this.
	Here he is talking about the election and how it wasn't stolen.
	And yet this became the basis for Stop the Steal.
	Steve Pachenik was saying it wasn't stolen.
	It was a sting.
	We knew all this stuff.
	And we had the ballots printed up specially.
	And we already are out there arresting people.
	This is really a sting operation.
	Contrary to what everybody else said, Trump knew this was happening.
	Eric knew this was happening and warned the public.
	I knew this was happening.
	However, I could not say anything about it.
	What happened was we marked, watermarked every ballot with what's called the QFS block.
	Every bit of this is a lie.
	That's silly.
	Impossible.
	And let me tell you that 48 hours ago, not only did we put markers on those ballots, but I can say now, with the permission of people in the intelligence community and elsewhere, That we have sent out thousands and thousands of national guards to 12 different states,
	Washington, Delaware, Texas, Arizona, Alabama, and everywhere.
	What was not announced was that we watermarked all the ballots with what I said at QFS blockchain, which is a very hard encryption code to break.
	And the second thing is we sent probably 20,000 or more.
	Our National Guard, 48 hours ago, none of it was reported, and I thank the press for not reporting it.
	Well, I love you, Steve.
	I'd kiss you on the lips right now if it wasn't digitally.
	You can't.
	There's too many people watching us.
	We're open like that.
	We're tolerant.
	But, Steve, following your logic here, arrests inevitably coming down the road.
	They're coming not just down the road.
	They're being implemented.
	What you saw Corey Wendowski and Pam Biondi saying, When they were in Clay County and as well in Philadelphia, that was not just a threat.
	That was exactly what's going to happen.
	People will be arrested as of tonight, tomorrow, and it will go on for quite a while.
	And this was a total sting operation that I can say.
	I will not be interviewed by anybody else.
	I have the permission to say it.
	I do not deal with classified information.
	As you know, I do not work for our government, but because I'm loyal to the republic, and I work with a lot of people who are loyal to this republic, including the 16 intelligence services, the secret service, our civilian service.
	They've all been great, and they've kept it quiet.
	And I've been given the permission to say what I just said.
	I have nothing more to say, but this is not a surprise here.
	This is the biggest sting operation probably in our country that we've ever had.
	Well, and it would be the genius of Trump.
	Yeah, it would be the genius of Trump, wouldn't it?
	That 4D chess master.
	And it was.
	The biggest sting operation you ever saw against their own supporters.
	I tell you, I started by talking about this guy, Scott Jennings, the cynical lies that he will tell to influence and to propagandize and to push people.
	That right there.
	Anybody that was a part of that, and it's not just Steve Pachinik and Alex Jones and Owen, it's also people like Lieutenant Colonel Anthony Schaefer jumped onto that.
	Bandwagon.
	You had Steve Quayle jumped on that bandwagon.
	Said, yeah, yeah, we know this is true.
	Yeah, we've got sources and intelligence that are telling us this as well.
	And there was some guy in England.
	I don't even remember his name.
	I'd never seen him before.
	Folks, don't trust those people.
	Don't listen to them.
	Don't pay any attention to what they understand.
	That they are deceivers and liars.
	Just like Scott Jennings, who was doing that about something that was a lot less important.
	Well, Sherry Redstone has asked CBS to stop doing sensitive stories about Trump until she can sell her shares.
	There we go.
	Kowtow to him, okay?
	Because he's going to weaponize the FCC against them.
	It's not just his frivolous lawsuit that isn't going to go anywhere, but the lawsuit would impact her, even if it's not settled.
	Just the fact that it is there would impact her.
	We don't want the media saying anything that's going to offend Trump.
	I mean, look what he did to Chris Krebs.
	Look what he's going to do to us.
	He's now got some action going against the New York Times.
	Anybody that criticizes him, he's going to shut it down.
	And if anybody criticizes the people he works for...
	Like the Israeli government, he will try to shut them down as well.
	And we had an interesting thing that happened with this Anti-Semitism Awareness Act.
	This is the act that they put together to criminalize the criticism of Israel on college campuses, essentially.
	You allow people to criticize and have an opinion on politics that involved Israel.
	Well, then we are going to remove all the massive subsidies that we give to you.
	I mean, again, what was it?
	$400 million for, what was it?
	Was that Princeton, I think?
	$9 billion with a B?
	$9 billion with a B for Harvard?
	See, I don't want my money going to them regardless of what their political opinions are.
	But they're fine.
	Sending them the money, sending them even more money.
	This is not about Doge or balancing the budget for Trump.
	He doesn't care about any of this stuff.
	He wanted to take off the debt ceiling for another two years.
	They don't care about the money that's being spent.
	They want to use it for political control.
	They will punish their enemies with it, and they will reward their friends.
	They'll bribe you, they'll blackmail you with the money that they can print on their magic money machine.
	So, the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act.
	Got pushback from the Democrats and from Rand Paul.
	And because of that, they temporarily suspended it.
	Bernie Sanders and Ed Markey, two guys that I 100% disagree with.
	I mean, Ed Markey has been one of the most deceptive people in terms of the climate change stuff.
	He was there doing a dog and pony thing with Lisa Jackson, Obama's EPA head.
	They had this prearranged little script, and you could tell because he said some of her lines in advance.
	Whoops, wait a minute, that's your line.
	And, you know, they were trying to sell everybody on the fact that we had to ban diesel.
	Engines and things like that, right?
	He was only a congressman at that point in time, but he did his job for the vested interest and they promoted him now.
	He's a senator.
	Bernie Sanders, we know about.
	We don't need to explain anything about him.
	Rand Paul also jumped in with him.
	Senators on the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee postponed a final vote on advancing the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act.
	Again, it's the education part of that because we're talking about Using the money as a weapon.
	After they approved four amendments that could jeopardize GOP support for the bill and leave the future passage once again in question.
	Now, listen, the guy who is the committee's chair is Senator Bill Cassidy.
	Again, this is health, education, labor, and pensions.
	Bill Cassidy was the one who was chairing...
	All of these hearings about who is going to be in HHS and FDA and CDC and all the rest of this stuff.
	And he's this former physician who is a vaccine whore.
	He's completely subservient to the vaccine industry.
	He doesn't want anybody investigating autism.
	Let's not talk about autism.
	Let's not investigate it.
	Let's not talk about treatment for it.
	I don't see anything.
	I'm not looking.
	Stop it.
	Right?
	That guy, Bill Cassidy, a Republican, he's also a major proponent of shutting down free speech.
	Well, that figures.
	I mean, if he's not going to give you informed consent about vaccines, right?
	I mean, he doesn't want you to hear anything about vaccines.
	So he wants to censor speech.
	And let's apply it to other things as well, because if he censors your speech for the pharmaceutical industry paying him, he can also censor your speech for the Israelis who are paying him.
	And so, he's a major proponent of this censorship legislation.
	He told a Jewish insider after the meeting that he needed to postpone the vote because Republicans couldn't return to the committee room quickly enough to vote for it, with just minutes remaining before a two-hour cutoff to the meeting.
	Democrats refuse to request to waive the two-hour limit.
	It's one of these things like the Federal Reserve Act when they come in and do it after people have gone home for the Christmas holidays.
	Anyway, Cassidy said, they don't care if Jewish students are harassed on college campuses.
	Well, you know, Cassidy doesn't care if children are...
	Dying from vaccines?
	Sudden infant death syndrome?
	He doesn't care if they're getting autism.
	He doesn't want to look.
	He doesn't want you to look.
	He doesn't want you to hear anything.
	And he won't allow anybody who does want to look to have office.
	So he absolutely hates free speech.
	Well, we don't want Jewish kids harassed on college campuses.
	Well, I don't either.
	But, you know, I don't want to see the First Amendment go away.
	And this guy is for sale.
	Cassidy.
	Cassidy opposed all the approved amendments.
	Listen to some of the amendments that are there.
	This is what he's opposed to.
	Bernie Sanders said it's not anti-Semitic to use free speech rights to oppose the devastation of Gaza, as he put it.
	And he laid out a series of specific objections to the war, as well as criticisms of Prime Minister Netanyahu.
	And so here are the amendments.
	One of them.
	That was led by Ed Markey.
	And again, I don't support this climate shill, but he got this right.
	It would have opposed all revocations of visas, detentions, and deportations of students and faculty based on, quote, protected conduct under the First Amendment.
	All the Democrats and Senator Paul voted for that.
	A third one, also led by Sanders.
	States that the legislation protects rights to distribute written material on campus or online, to carry out protests and adherence to schools, time, place, and manner restrictions.
	In other words, they're going to tell you where you can speak, give you permission to go out and speak.
	And if you go out and, you know, speak in the areas and at the times that they tell you that you can speak into the free speech zones, the time zones, the physical zones.
	Well, then we'll allow you to speak.
	Well, no, they don't even want that.
	And to engage in, quote, any speech that does not include true threats or incitement of violence, including such speech as communicated through guest speakers, materials used in a classroom or online, or classroom discussions or debates.
	Now, why would you object to that?
	So all the Democrats, Senator Paul and Senator Susan Collins, voted in favor of that.
	A fourth one by Sanders stated that no entity of the federal government can enforce a policy that would compel an educational institution to, quote, violate the rights of a student, faculty, or staff member under the First Amendment.
	And so all Democrats, as well as Paul and Collins, voted in favor of that.
	Now, here's the interesting thing.
	All the Democrats, Paul and Collins, Didn't care if you violated the rights of people with vaccine mandates, did they?
	Well, Paul might have opposed that.
	But they didn't care about the rest of the stuff, the lockdowns, the masks, and all the rest of this.
	I mean, Paul's objection to Fauci was, Dr. Fauci, you're going to make people vaccine hesitant.
	Because you're so over the top.
	Well, APEC, through a fit over the bill getting undermined, says Information Liberation.
	The original Anti-Semitism Awareness Act is a key step in the effort to fight anti-Semitism and anti-Israel hatred on campus, they said.
	The amended version has significantly undermined the purpose of this legislation.
	The purpose is to punish people's speech.
	That's what it is.
	And so they said, let's be clear, these amendments are a disgrace.
	They don't just weaken the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act, they mock it.
	It should be mocked.
	Because it is a mockery of the Constitution or the First Amendment, our basic human rights that don't come to us from the First Amendment.
	But they're there because we are human beings.
	We have dignity and we have freedom.
	Let's be clear, says Information Liberation, trying to abolish the First Amendment to protect Jews and Israel from criticism while the Jewish state is committing genocide in Gaza is a disgrace.
	Every lawmaker who backed this disgraceful people...
	Yeah, we should give the Jonathan Pollard traitor award to some of these people.
	Little, you know, little thing that has a noose on it or something, you know, since you're a traitor for another country.
	But a little statuette of that.
	Polls show that most Americans now oppose Israel.
	Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's popularity has imploded, and the Israel lobby is plotting for the next U.S. aid package to span 25 years, rather than the usual 10 years.
	In order to, quote, insulate the relationship against future U.S. political vagaries and uncertainties.
	It's a pushback against what they're doing.
	Has AIPAC and Bibi gone too far with this?
	The Israeli Not Lobby knows support for the Jewish state and Congress is on shaky ground, and they're panicked that the scam they've been running for decades could at any moment abruptly come to an end.
	That's why they're spending millions of dollars on small house races.
	And why they're threatening unlimited spending to get Thomas Massey out of the house.
	Trying to undermine the First Amendment by making criticism of Jews and Israel illegal was a key part of their plan.
	And I think it's backfiring.
	I think it's part of what is backfiring.
	And he has a clip here from Jerusalem Post, an op-ed piece that was written February of last year, which said anti-Semitism must be criminalized before it's too late.
	Oh, well, that's criminalizing speech.
	And it is not anti-Semitism to criticize the war policy of a foreign government.
	That is such an obvious, obvious lie.
	We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.
	a quick break.
	a quick break.
	We're going to take a quick break.
	Analyzing the globalist's next move.
	Analyzing the globalist's next move.
	And now, The David Knight Show.
	Well, welcome back on KICK.
	SoloCat1980 says those wild birds are bringing in the fentanyl.
	There we go.
	It's a unified theory, right?
	Einstein is always looking for a unified field theory.
	I guess we could have a unified fear theory.
	We could pull in all this stuff.
	COVID, bird flu, climate change, just unified fear from the Uni Party.
	On Kik, a Syrian girl says they kept those National Guard invasions so secret that even today, five years later, no one has ever heard of it.
	Yeah, 20,000 troops everywhere.
	And I want to thank the media for keeping this a secret.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And thank you to Alex Jones for allowing this kind of nonsense to be promoted incessantly.
	I mean, that wasn't the last time that he had him on.
	He had him on over and over and over again because I pushed back on him.
	He, towards, you know, I guess later in the spring, months after Trump had left, he said to Steve Pchenik, he says, you want David Knight's job?
	You know, they acknowledge that they fired me for opposing Steve Pachinic.
	Anyway, on kick, Octospook says, I support the only Democratic outpost in the Middle East and a place that Americans can actually live in relative safety.
	Where would that be?
	I don't know what you're talking about here.
	I think you're talking about Israel.
	I don't share that position.
	You know, there's a lot of people there who, and quite frankly, there's more.
	Christian Zionists, and there are Jewish Zionists in terms of absolute numbers.
	There's a lot of people in Israel who don't support Netanyahu.
	And quite frankly, I don't care if it's democracy or not.
	You know, the whole thing that Benjamin Franklin said about democracy being two wolves and a sheep deciding what's for dinner?
	That's your Israeli democracy for you there.
	That's what that's about.
	It's two wolves and the sheep that is still alive in Gaza, and the wolves deciding how they're going to kill that sheep and take his land.
	That's what it's about.
	That's their democracy.
	So much for democracy.
	I don't give a flip about democracy.
	I care.
	America's not a democracy.
	America is a republic.
	That is supposed to acknowledge that our rights don't come from God and that they can't be taken away by a bloodthirsty mob or a bloodthirsty politician who's willing to kill anybody that gets in their way.
	Let's take a look at the Supreme Court case that is about charter schools.
	This is an op-ed piece.
	It was written by Dr. Phil on the New York Post.
	And he got a lot of things right.
	And I think it's interesting.
	He made a couple of good points here.
	Of course, he's also quoting Mike Lee, who's made some good points about the Constitution, what has happened to it.
	He says, Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.
	He says, well, that's pretty clear.
	We know what Congress is, and we know what a law is, and we know what religion is.
	Let's just start with a plain English language of this, right?
	And always think about the fact that The First Amendment is a prohibition of Congress, and that's his point.
	And we should stress that.
	I've said that in the past, but we should really stress it.
	I've said many times that after the Bill of Rights was added...
	For about another 50 years, you had established religion in Massachusetts.
	They were the last ones to get rid of a state-established religion.
	And it continued as well in Connecticut, I think it was.
	It was one of those small New England states, Connecticut or Delaware.
	I think it was Connecticut.
	For about 40 years after that.
	And when you look at the letter to the Danbury Baptists from Thomas Jefferson that the Supreme Court used to suppress the free exercise of religion, He talked about the wall of separation, what Jefferson was saying.
	Don't worry.
	There were Danbury Baptists, and that was one of the states where the Baptist church was the established church.
	He said, don't worry about it.
	There's a wall protecting you from the federal government, and that's the First Amendment.
	We're not going to interfere with what you're doing there.
	You can do whatever you want.
	And so he says, so too often people have interpreted this to mean that the government and religion must be completely separate.
	Which is not the intention.
	Again, this law applied to, as he points out, Congress.
	Congress.
	And it was there to keep Congress from interfering with all of these other states.
	Each of them pretty much had, at one point in time when they were established, they all had established religions.
	And by that, that meant that you were sometimes forced to attend, but you were always forced to pay.
	Kind of like the religious seminaries of Satan that we call government schools.
	You were always required to pay, and in the past we had been required to attend those seminaries of Satan.
	Laws that require office holders to be Christian were something that continued throughout, you know, for another more than a century.
	So there were a lot of state laws that required anybody who had an office, they had to be a Christian.
	And then they started to get watered down.
	It's like, okay, we just got to believe in God.
	And then by the time we got to the middle of the 20th century, the Supreme Court said, no, you can't exercise your religion at all if you work for the government.
	You've got to keep it quiet, put it in the closet, shut up about it.
	You don't show anybody anything.
	So no religion, said the Supreme Court, by the time we got to the middle of the 20th century.
	So states, he says that the issue to him, as he looks at it, Is whether or not the Supreme Court would say that states are, once again, free to enact religious policies that they believe best serve their citizens.
	Well, the Constitution was never changed.
	What has changed are Supreme Court opinions.
	Opinions are not laws.
	Opinions don't trump the Constitution.
	And that's the key thing that we should look at here.
	And, of course, because we have this idea that Opinions by the Supreme Court are the law of the land, as we heard over and over again about Roe v.
	Wade.
	That's why we had over 60 million kids die, be murdered by Planned Parenthood and other abortionists because of that lie.
	Again, Roe v.
	Wade was a case out of Texas, and the Texas governor should have said, well, you've made your decision.
	Let's see you enforce it.
	I'm under no compulsion to go with your definition of when life begins.
	I really don't care what your opinion is.
	And so, the Establishment Clause's whole purpose, he says, was to protect states from federal action on matters of religion.
	So why are we even talking to the Supreme Court about this?
	If states want to give money to religious charter schools, they have the authority under the Constitution.
	I think that's a very, very bad idea.
	And I've said that.
	But I just think that it's important to understand that...
	They can do that if they want.
	They can establish a religion if they want.
	They can have requirements and did for over a century to say that you have to be a Christian of some sort.
	Again, it was an arbitrary definition, and even if you don't like it, they had the authority under the Constitution to be able to do that.
	The most respected justice of his time, Joseph Story, wrote in 1833 that the establishment clauses That's exactly right.
	And that's what Jefferson was saying when he wrote that letter to the Danbury Baptists, which the Supreme Court and all these leftists since then have taken out completely out of context.
	And have taken out the free exercise of religion out of the Constitution.
	Never mind, the Establishment Clause did not create a right in any individual, but rather protected the state's rights.
	Let's understand that the Constitution doesn't grant us rights.
	That would be a privilege then, not a right.
	We go back to the Declaration of Independence, we get our rights because we are created by God.
	It is based on our humanity that we have natural rights.
	We have God-given rights.
	And I think it is also a misnomer to talk about states' rights.
	States don't have rights either.
	Corporations don't have rights either.
	Those are artificial constructs.
	Corporations have privileges that are granted by the government because the corporations are creatures of the government.
	The states have powers.
	And that's the way it is talked about.
	In the Tenth Amendment, they don't talk about states' rights.
	They talk about any states' powers and people's powers that are not explicitly delegated or reserved to the people.
	As Senator Mike Lee points out in his book, Our Lost Constitution, the willful subversion of America's founding document, he says, the irony is that we've used the Establishment Clause's language Which was designed to protect state laws on religion.
	We've used that as a weapon to nullify those same state laws.
	And what have we seen over and over again?
	We see that as a recurring pattern of inverting and perverting the Constitution.
	You know, doing exactly the opposite.
	Just take the FISA court, for example, all of that.
	They used the FISA court because they said the reason they had.
	The hearings, the church hearings and the Pike hearings.
	They said the CIA and the NSA are spying on Americans and doing it without a warrant.
	Well, you're not going to do that, they said.
	You have to get a warrant if you're going to spy on Americans in America or if you're going to spy on Americans in a foreign country or if you're going to spy on a foreigner in America.
	Well, we need to be able to spy on people sometimes.
	So give us a process where we can get a warrant.
	Okay, we'll create the FISA court.
	One judge.
	And then they used that after they said, well, you can spy on everybody now.
	Mr. and Mrs. Verizon, I'll give you a search warrant for everybody that's got a Verizon account.
	And so when they did that, that basically took FISA, which was supposed to restrict the CIA and the NSA, and they perverted it to use it as legal cover for them spying on everybody in America.
	And that's what they did with this inversion.
	Of the First Amendment as well.
	So as we're talking about education, again, the best thing I can say to you, and isn't it wonderful, and we should all be so thankful that we have the freedom to educate our own children.
	I grew up without that freedom.
	I had to attend a school.
	I didn't like it.
	My parents didn't like it.
	But we had to attend it.
	Now we have a situation where we don't have to attend it.
	But unfortunately, we still have to pay for the waste of it.
	And we ought to thank God.
	Thank God this week for the freedom to be able to educate your own children.
	I thought about that when we started homeschooling our kids, because being a part of the Libertarian Party, I was focused, as I am on this show, Look at all the different places where government is growing.
	It's metastasizing like a cancer.
	And it is intruding in every aspect of our life.
	And these mandates that they're putting on us about everything that we do in our life.
	And I looked at homeschooling.
	I thought, what's going on with that?
	How did this freedom to homeschool come out of nowhere?
	And honestly, folks, I have always, once I thought about that, I thought, wait, you know.
	Almost all the people I know who are homeschooling are Christians.
	And they're doing this because they want to honor God.
	And because they want their children to know God.
	And I said, you know, this is a blessing from God.
	God has said, He will honor them.
	He will honor those who honor Him.
	I see the hand of God.
	And we should grasp that hand.
	You know, think of the Sistine Chapel, where God is reaching out, and the hand of God, anthropomorphize him, turn him into an old man or whatever.
	But he's reaching out to Adam, and Adam is reaching to him.
	God is reaching out to you.
	In your life.
	He's reaching out to you.
	Giving you the opportunity to raise your children in freedom.
	So many times we have homeschooling groups that say, yeah, but I want a government handout.
	God has handed you what you need.
	And God will provide what you need.
	You just need to step up in faith.
	So here's a school where it says, what happens when the teachers are replaced with AI?
	This is from Newsweek.
	And so this is a charter school that is in Austin.
	They call it the Alpha School.
	And they're putting them up in various other places as well.
	And they talk about how they have integrated in this Alpha School This has the hallmarks of some kind of a corporate approach to education.
	In this Alpha School, they have integrated artificial intelligence.
	And so they utilize personalized artificial intelligence to teach an entire day of core academic lessons in just two hours.
	Folks, that's what homeschooling looks like.
	One of the big things that everybody would say about homeschooling is like, we can get everything done in the morning.
	And then the kids have got the afternoon to explore their own interests, to get physically active, to do whatever it is that they want to do.
	They've got the freedom to do that.
	It's not this regimented thing.
	The school day is too long as it is.
	They don't need to keep kids there all that time.
	And here's an example of this.
	Because we have focused on AI and we've got individualized instruction, these kids can get out of there.
	In just a couple of hours.
	Well, you can do that with homeschooling as well.
	And they said students then spend their afternoons working on non-academic critical life skills.
	Maybe it's public speaking or financial literacy or maybe even how to ride a bike or maybe even grow food.
	So, again, you know, it is, they said, their primary aim is to instill a love of learning into each young child.
	Education is not about filling a bucket.
	It's about lighting a fire.
	That is always the goal of anyone who is a teacher, a tutor, whatever.
	It's always about that.
	Instilling a love of learning.
	Instilling a love of literature.
	We started with Travis when he was young.
	He's smart.
	We'll start teaching him how to read.
	He didn't like it at all.
	He didn't like this.
	Didactic approach.
	So, you know, up to the age of nine, I would just read to them all the time because I wanted them to have a love of literature.
	And then he taught himself.
	And then he taught himself.
	The personalized approach utilizes proprietary third-party apps.
	It allows students to master topics up to five times faster than traditional methods of, you know, having somebody stand up in front of the class.
	You have a personalized approach.
	We don't have to have artificial intelligence to do this.
	They don't ever mention homeschooling in this article in Newsweek, of course.
	It's all about AI.
	Because with AI, they can make money off of it.
	With AI, they can have centralized control.
	And what they're teaching the kids is a common core curriculum.
	If you read this thing further on.
	They don't want people to look at it from a homeschooling standpoint.
	You don't want AI folks.
	You want PI.
	Parental involvement.
	You don't even have to be intelligent as a parent.
	You're just there to guide them and to steer them.
	They said, we all work on computers.
	Not all school work on computers.
	And this is what is very special about this school.
	Maybe all the other schools elsewhere can work on computers, said one of them.
	Kids, when asked about it.
	Well, Trump signed an executive order to integrate AI into K-12 classrooms nationwide.
	Beware of government money.
	Beware of government agendas.
	Beware of shiny new bells and whistles and fads that are going to be put out there by our education.
	Old is gold, folks.
	Look at the tried and true methods.
	Look at the older books that actually have character building in them.
	That's what you want to focus on.
	It's been tested.
	It's been found to be true.
	I have nothing but contempt for all these educational fads.
	I've seen so many of them come and go.
	Trump's order also creates a Presidential Artificial Intelligence Challenge, a competition for students and teachers to showcase their AI skills.
	It's not about AI skills.
	They're not learning to create large language models.
	They're just using this.
	And this is one of the things I remember when Karen was getting involved in education.
	Personal computers were coming out.
	And everybody thought, oh, I'm going to be so smart if I get my hands on a computer.
	If I can type on a computer, I'm smart now.
	Yeah, you don't know anything about programming it.
	So, you know, we got a computer for her and she would, you know, show the kids how to do flow charting and stuff like that.
	But the other kids, it's like, oh, well, I'm using a computer.
	That's smart.
	No, it's not.
	I'm using artificial intelligence.
	That's going to make you even dumber.
	It's going to be atrophy for your brain.
	So they said this stresses the need for educators to fully embrace artificial intelligence.
	Trust.
	Trust is the plan.
	You've got to trust the AI.
	RFK Jr., I'm here to restore people's trust in big pharma, the big pharmaceutical companies and these institutions that work with them.
	Tulsi Gabbard, I'm here to restore people's trust in the intelligence agency, and artificial intelligence is there to restore people's trust in the educational bureaucracy, isn't it?
	Fox News said in March that the alpha classes were in the top 2% of test scores in the country.
	Well, maybe it's because they're teaching to the test.
	You think?
	Maybe that's it.
	They said they're aligned with Common Core standards.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, you know, I can guarantee you that if we had tested our kids on Common Core standards, that they would not have given the desired answers.
	Because Karen and I would always go down to the Barnes& Noble book, and there's a series of books, what your six-year-old needs to know, what your seven-year-old needs to know, that type of thing.
	And so we'd look at it, and we'd look at what the scope and sequence of the educational stuff was, and we'd say, we're not teaching that.
	Well, that's so bad, I'm going to teach against that, you know?
	We do things like that.
	We would not follow that stuff.
	Well, AI is going to, you know, drill these kids on the test.
	The AI is going to know what the tests are.
	You're going to drill them on it, and you're going to, because you regurgitate the answers that they want to hear.
	Oh, wow, you're doing great.
	Now, you need to think critically about this, and I don't think people, I think that's one of the biggest problems with AI.
	I think it's going to smother critical thinking.
	It's going to be out there as an accepted expert.
	It's Fauci in a box, folks.
	So this woman that I interviewed, featured in the story on Newsweek, launched the framework for Alpha in Austin.
	She is, and again, this Alpha thing is a national chain or something.
	She's a mother of two.
	She set her zoned school district.
	Couldn't meet the needs of her daughters, particularly regarding, quote, personalized attention, despite being one of the top districts in Texas.
	Personalized attention.
	That would also be parental involvement.
	The teacher, she said, in front of the classroom model is required to teach a certain curriculum.
	Her daughters particularly suffered in second grade.
	She said, she looked at me and said, school is so boring.
	She said, in two and a half years, they had taken a child who was tailor-made to love school and to be curious and interested, and they wiped away all passion.
	And I realized that it wasn't about the teachers or that school or moving from a public to a private school.
	It was this model of having a teacher in front of the classroom that wasn't working.
	And look, a lot of homeschoolers would try to do that because that's what they had known.
	You don't do that.
	Again, you work with your child.
	And we were not concerned about curriculum.
	That's fine if you are.
	I mean, a lot of people have a very rigid curriculum, very academically intense curriculum.
	And, you know, you have, I'm trying to think of it, the Trivium, and it is, I forget what they call that now.
	But anyway, you know, there's some people out there teaching their kids Greek and Latin and all that kind of stuff.
	We did some Greek and Latin roots, but we didn't worry about.
	Getting them to speak Greek or Latin.
	Because, you know, if you look at, it just helps to build your vocabulary.
	If you understand, typically our English words are built up from Greek and Latin roots.
	And so that's what we focused on.
	But again, you know, you're free to do what you want to.
	And that's what we ought to thank God for.
	But there's no mention of homeschooling in this article.
	If they're going to be spending five days a week, the majority of the year, for 13 years, In a place, this person says, they should love it.
	Well, if they're going to be spending five days a week, the majority of the year, for 13 years in a place, you better know what's going on in that place.
	And people didn't know about most of this stuff, or they would deny it when you would tell them.
	Oh, that's not happening in my state.
	That's not happening in my school district.
	That's not happening in my school.
	Maybe even it's happening in the school with some other classroom.
	Not happening in my kid's classroom because that teacher's great.
	And then they saw with the lockdown.
	They saw what it was really happening.
	It really was happening in their own classroom.
	And so a lot of people got out of it.
	You should know what is going on with your kids.
	Do you really want...
	Why do you think we have kids that are the way they are?
	Because people have used these institutions.
	To house their kids the majority of the year, the majority of the day, for 13 years, five days a week.
	They have their way with your kid.
	And we can see what it has produced in this country, can't we?
	Kids can learn twice as fast in only a couple of hours a day by getting this one-on-one, mastery-based tutoring experience that we called Homeschooling.
	Not AI.
	Not AI.
	Well, it is on Rumble.
	We have Larbar says, Thank you, David.
	We're passionate on the subject of homeschooling.
	Yes.
	And I'm passionate about it.
	You know, I was passionate to push it and oppose it before any of this DEI stuff started, before any of this satanic grooming of kids.
	What an abomination.
	These places have become just predatory, predatory.
	And you could see that they weren't learning anything.
	You could see that they were being intimidated, manipulated.
	You know, when Karen was getting her master's degree and, you know, the B.F. Skinner thing, Beyond Freedom and Dignity, I said, that's abhorrent.
	That's the mindset of the schools.
	We're not going to put our kids in that.
	And now look at what it's become.
	They're pushing racism and hatred.
	And this demonic obsession with sex.
	And they're gaslighting people, kids, to harm themselves, to mutilate themselves, to sterilize themselves.
	I played earlier this week.
	That mom and her daughter, and her daughter, you know, started getting really dark.
	She'd homeschooled her, and the parents got a divorce.
	I can't handle it.
	She put her in school.
	They start grooming her into this.
	She gets very depressed.
	Very suicidal.
	Again, they say, well, you know, we've got to teach this trans stuff or the kids will commit suicide.
	No, they're the ones who are pushing them to this.
	It's that whole thing that's pushing them to it.
	And then she started cutting herself.
	I mean, really, it's satanic.
	On Rumble, Mama C1996 says, Amen, brother.
	I raised three kids, homeschooled them, sent them out after preparing them for the world.
	Yes, good.
	All serve the Lord, all are employed, all are nice people to be around, and you have a relationship with them.
	They didn't poison that relationship with them either.
	Well, we're going to take a quick break.
	Gerald Salenti is ready, and I'm ready to talk to him.
	It's been a couple weeks, and the times that we're living in, a lot of stuff happens in just a couple of weeks.
	So we're going to take a quick break and we will be right back.
	ORCHESTRA PLAYS
	In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	All right, joining us now is Gerald Salenti of TrendsJournal.com.
	Always great to have Gerald there.
	And look, folks, you can go to TrendsJournal.com.
	You can see a sample of what it is about.
	And it is an excellent news magazine.
	Hundreds of pages.
	You can get it in an online format, so it's searchable, but it's really nice the way they have set this thing up.
	And it is a great, great value, especially if you get the 10% off with the code NIGHT.
	As Gerald has pointed out, it's less for the week than you're going to pay for a day with things like the Wall Street Journal, which are getting more and more fluffy as we speak.
	It's all pictures and all the rest of this stuff.
	You know, Gerald, this week I talked about I print the article up as a PDF, right?
	Put it in my thing here.
	They had 71 pages that I had to delete of pictures of Melania Trump.
	It was like a fashion show for Melania Trump talking about her $37,000 purse and her $5,000 Burberry trench coat and all the rest of the stuff.
	It was amazing.
	But that's really what's happening with all these different publications.
	I mean, they're just going for fluff, aren't they?
	Not only that, they're prostitutes.
	They're media whores that get paid to put out by their corporate pimps and government whormasters.
	Breitbart is nothing more than a little boy's Trump club.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Well, they want to be able to afford a $35,000 purse themselves.
	It is disgusting.
	Yeah, I agree.
	It's disgusting.
	I agree.
	Oh, I like Trump, so I'll watch Fox.
	I hate Trump.
	I'll watch MSNBC.
	Yeah.
	I mean, that's the stupidity of the crap going on.
	Yeah.
	There's no media anymore.
	There's no journalists.
	Pick up the New York slime.
	The Turlet Paper Record.
	You ready?
	Again, we didn't prepare to talk about this, but here it goes.
	We don't.
	We just talk.
	This is Sunday's New York Times.
	Look at that picture.
	That's the business section.
	The business section.
	What are they selling?
	This is what you pay $6 on Sunday for.
	Wow.
	Look at this stupid picture.
	And people say, oh, Salenti, calm down.
	No, I'm not calming down.
	The world is going to crap.
	We got crazy people in charge.
	They're stealing our money.
	They're slaughtering people all over the world.
	And you want me to calm down as you swallow their crap?
	Oh, yeah.
	I am so disgusted.
	Here, you can't make this crap up.
	Again, this is the business section.
	This is why...
	Here, look, look, look.
	That's the second page.
	It's all pictures, too.
	Yep.
	It's a picture book.
	Third page is mostly pictures.
	Here, wait.
	It gets better.
	It gets better.
	Here, hold it.
	You ready?
	Uh-huh.
	You won't believe this.
	A two-page spread of pictures.
	There we go.
	That's the cover story of the Varsity Influencers Team.
	An effort at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill aims to turn its student-athletes into social media stars.
	Other schools are following suit.
	I used to live not too far from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
	I don't want those people influencing anybody.
	But this is the business section.
	What the hell does that have to do with business?
	Journalism is dead.
	What we're giving people in the Trends Journal, you're not getting anywhere else in the world.
	Go to our YouTube, Gerald Salenti or Trends Journal, and see the comments from people that get the magazine.
	They can't believe it.
	They can't believe it.
	There's nothing like it.
	Journalism is dead.
	Finished.
	The Israel war going on.
	They slaughter about 75, 35 people every day.
	Every day, every day, every day, every day, every day, killing 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80. 90, 100 people every day.
	Not a word.
	Not a word in the toilet paper record, the New York slime.
	Not a word in the Wall Street Journal.
	Go to CNN, the Cartoon News Network.
	Not a word.
	That's right.
	Not a word.
	And it's civilians.
	You know, I mean, you look at it, and rightfully so, you know.
	Oh, in a trench journal, over a thousand kids have gotten their arms and legs blown off!
	Oh, this is horrible.
	Can you imagine you were talking before it went on about your kids?
	Could you imagine your kids getting their arms and legs blown off?
	Oh, they'd be happy the rest of their lives.
	Yeah, you know, when you look at, there's a mass shooting at a school, for example, and you get, you know.
	Five people killed.
	It's national headlines everywhere.
	And look, I understand.
	You know, it is a tragedy.
	It is a tragedy.
	But as you point out, total silence when you have dozens of kids being killed on a daily basis.
	Daily basis!
	And this goes on for year after year after year.
	This is targeted towards children.
	And that's what's so amazing about this, along with the silence that is there.
	It truly is insane.
	I've got more that I want to talk about with that, but let's talk about the economy first.
	Let's talk a little bit about what's going on, because we had some changes in gold this week.
	China did a massive sell-off of gold at one point in time.
	How do you read that?
	What do you think is going on?
	Is that profit-taking?
	It's only part of it, because here's an article from Mm-hmm.
	in Haven Hunt.
	Chinese investors are piling into gold funds at a record rate as President Donald Trump's trade war and fears of a U.S. recession and inflation drive a hunt for safe haven assets.
	Inflows into gold exchange traded funds in
	China, you ready?
	Totaled 70 tons in April, more than double the previous monthly record according to the World Gold Council.
	So yeah, there's ups and downs in it.
	People try to make money, but the long term in this, again, I've been buying gold.
	I started buying gold in 1978.
	I forget, it was either $163, $183 an ounce.
	Yeah.
	That's a good story right there.
	Well, you know, we look at this.
	I'm sorry, go ahead.
	I've been following this for years.
	As you well know, the Trends Journal, we do top trends each year.
	Last year, we said it would be a golden year for gold.
	The price of gold went up almost 30% last year.
	And it's gone up again.
	Never before in my lifetime...
	Have I seen such dangerous times ahead?
	And that's why gold prices are going up.
	You have to look at not only the economic, but the geopolitical issues that are going on.
	When you got the Ukraine war, there's no end in sight with it.
	And we're saying that Ukraine is going to do everything they can to keep this war going.
	And Europe is doing everything they can to keep the war going.
	A little slimeball piece of crap.
	This guy Mertz.
	The new Heil Hitler of Germany.
	Yeah.
	What was his last job?
	Hey, I was with BlackRock.
	Yeah, we're that crime syndicate that buys up the world.
	You got it?
	Headed by a fink.
	Not making that up.
	Anyway.
	A trillion dollars.
	They're spending a trillion dollars to build up their military.
	And they say, we're also going to put some of that money into infrastructure to stop the Russians.
	And borrowing the money to do that.
	I mean, that's very uncharacteristic of post-war Germany as well.
	To go into debt.
	As well as to build the military up.
	It's Fred Mertz.
	Not the one from I Love Lucy.
	This is a guy from I Hate Peace.
	Fred Mertz.
	And what you just said, not only that, Germany is headed to three years of recession.
	They had two years of recession.
	23-24.
	And now they're heading to a third year recession and they're borrowing all this money.
	We've got to stop the Russians.
	So, yeah, let me get this straight.
	Let me get this straight, you slimeball, Mertz.
	Oh, Operation Barbarossa, World War II, when the Germans killed some 25 million Russians, when, according to John F. Kennedy at his speech to American University in June of 1963,
	When it was all about peace, he said we should not hate the people in the Soviet Union.
	These people are very advanced scientifically, technologically, and no nation suffered more during World War II than the Soviet Union.
	This is his words.
	This is John F. Kennedy.
	He said they lost their farms, their factories, their homes, and their land, the equivalent of Chicago, To the East Coast.
	We need peace with them.
	If we go to war against the Soviet Union, he said, and we have an atomic war, life on Earth will be destroyed in 24 hours.
	That was 1963.
	Anyway, that was June.
	July, August, September, October, November.
	Jack, you're dead.
	They killed him.
	It was all about peace.
	They didn't want peace.
	Going back to this little clown boy, Mertz, and the reality, this slimeball saying Russia's a threat to Europe?
	All the Nordic countries, the UK, France, all building up their military.
	All sending more weapons to...
	Ukraine, all ramping up the war.
	Now I'm going back to gold.
	And they're getting, let me interject, they're getting out of the landmine treaty.
	Where 70% of the casualties from the landmines are civilians of that country that put out the landmines after the war is over.
	That's the way this is happening.
	And so you've got all these same countries that you're talking about there getting out of this landmine treaty that, of course, the U.S. was never in, along with Russia and China and North Korea, all these warmongering countries.
	They never entered the landmine thing.
	But these other countries, these Scandinavian countries and things like that, they got out of that landmine treaty.
	I mean, they're...
	They're ramping everything up to kill everybody, aren't they?
	I'm telling you, this is why gold prices are going up.
	Yeah, yeah.
	And then you take, again, they're going to do everything they can to keep this war going.
	As the economies are going down, as I say, when all else fails, they take you to war.
	What followed the Great Depression?
	World War II.
	What followed the dot-com bust?
	The War on Terror.
	They do this all the time.
	So now, Iran.
	When the United States announced they were going to have talks with Iran to end their nuclear agreement, or to redo it, we said this is a lot of Trump crap.
	They have absolutely no intention of moving forward with Iran.
	This is a big lie.
	We said this, I said it on your show, I said it in the Trends Journal when it first began months ago.
	It was Trump that ended the nuclear agreement that was signed under Obama with Iran.
	Back, I think it was 2017 or 2018.
	UN nuclear inspectors were saying Iran is not developing nuclear weapons.
	The nuclear development is for power plants, etc.
	It has nothing to do with it.
	The facts are all there.
	Trump ended it.
	Trump ended it because he's a pro-Zionist Israeli puppet.
	Only by the facts.
	He got $100 million from Sheldon Adelson back then, moved the United States Embassy out of Tel Aviv into Jerusalem, told us...
	Israel, hey, you know that land you stole in the Golden Heights?
	It's yours.
	That's Trump.
	Now let's move forward.
	We said this, again, the wars are ramping up, and by the way, if the United States and Israel go to war against Iran, this is going to be the beginning of the end of life on Earth.
	Because there's no way in the world that the United States or Israel could defeat Iran.
	To make it clear, that little fat-mouthed, arrogant little boy, the little fox puppet that's now the Secretary of Defense that loves to do push-ups, so strong, yeah, that little clown hex it.
	Yeah.
	He's warning Iran that they can't support...
	Yemen and the United States only bombed them 800 times.
	No exaggeration.
	That literally 800 sorties, what was it, over the last month or something, right?
	Yep.
	Yeah.
	And they're saying that now with Iran, Trump has just put sanctions on Iran.
	Any country buying oil from Iran, We'll be sanctioned by the United States.
	This is as they're doing negotiations.
	Just happened two days ago.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Good faith negotiations, too, I'm sure, right?
	What?
	Good faith negotiations, I'm sure.
	Yeah, just to show their good faith.
	They added the sanctions, which in and of itself is why we say sanctions are an act of war.
	You know, and I said that when we got locked down in 2020.
	I said, you know what they're doing?
	Our own governments are putting sanctions on small mom-and-pop businesses and service businesses, which is what we've got left.
	And I said it really is an act of war, because it really is.
	You lock down people, you try to shut them down, you build.
	That's what they would always do in a siege, you know, around a fortified city or a castle or something.
	That's what a sanction is, trying to cut them off from everything else.
	You're 100% right.
	Here, this is from CNBC.
	Yesterday, Trump says any country that buys oil from Iran will not be allowed to do business with the U.S. Quote, any country or person who buys, and it is all caps, any amount of oil or petrochemicals,
	all in caps, from Iran will be subject to immediately secondary sanctions.
	They will not be allowed to do business with the United States of America in any way, shape, or form, said Trump on his social media.
	I love the name of his social, truth social.
	How about BS social?
	How about arrogant, arrogant daddy's boy social?
	My daddy left us over a half a billion dollars worth of property.
	I'm a little spoiled daddy's boy with a bad attitude.
	That's Trump.
	Alright?
	Trump also initiated negotiations with Iran last month over its nuclear program.
	His administration, you ready?
	Believes Iran is trying to develop a nuclear bomb.
	An allegation that Tehran has denied.
	Not only has Tehran denied it, all the nuclear inspectors say they're not doing it.
	I remember, how long ago was it that Netanyahu got harangued by everybody because he went to the UN and he was talking about how Iran was going to have a nuclear bomb within a couple of months or whatever.
	Remember, he had like that, you know, Warner Brothers cartoon, Acme bomb.
	It was like a bowling ball with a cylinder coming out of it and a fuse that was lit.
	Remember that?
	He had that up behind him.
	And everybody was saying, can you believe the nonsense that he's putting?
	And that was years and years ago.
	It might have been decades ago.
	I don't remember when that was.
	Oh, they're going to have it within months, and we keep hearing that, that they're going to have it within months.
	You mentioned Hegseth.
	This is the quote from Hegseth.
	He said on Wednesday, Message to Iran.
	We see your lethal support to the Houthis.
	We know exactly what you're doing.
	You know very well what the U.S. military is capable of, and you were warned.
	You will pay the consequence, all uppercase, consequence, at the time and place of our choosing.
	Wow.
	Wow.
	This is Heil Hitler!
	Yeah.
	Oh, I know.
	Yeah.
	And here's the other thing, too.
	Okay, so think about this, Gerald.
	Hegseth is saying, we see what you're doing.
	You're giving support to the Yemenis.
	And they're able, with the stuff that you're giving them, they're able to shoot down 17 of these Reaper drones.
	Most of them within the last month.
	And so we see what you're doing.
	We're going to come after you.
	Okay, well, what do you think that Iran's going to do if you attack their country?
	And yet...
	The reality is that Trump has gone on record as saying that the Yemenis, he said nobody would think that they could do it.
	Here's what he had to say.
	He said they're experts on missiles.
	I mean, they're actually making the missiles.
	Nobody thought that, but they make missiles, and they're highly sophisticated because they're taking down the Reaper drones.
	And so that might be a domestic thing.
	And yet Hegseth is saying, well, I think it's coming from the Iranians, and we're going to come after the Iranians.
	What an idiot, then.
	He's an arrogant little piece of crap.
	Yeah.
	This is asymmetric warfare taken into, you know, the air.
	Air war.
	You know, we've seen when we occupied Iraq and Afghanistan and things, they would come up with improvised asymmetric warfare to attack the troops as they're driving by in trucks or things like that, or even, you know, armored carriers.
	And so, you know, they would come up with roadside bombs and things like that.
	But now, this asymmetric warfare...
	Has taken to the sky.
	We've got these sophisticated Reaper drones that are shooting down one after the other.
	$30 million apiece.
	That's the asymmetry.
	Well, they could care less about how much it costs.
	They just steal our money.
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, it's kind of a feature for the military-industrial complex.
	I mean, if they get $30 million drones shot down, no American pilots are dying, but, hey, it's another contract for their suppliers at Raytheon or wherever.
	They could care less.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Well, I mean, you know, it's just more wasteful.
	Now, what we do with the Trends Journal is we go to all the media.
	So, like the Israel War.
	Before I go on to that, as I said, there are 91 million Iranian against, what, about 10 million Israelis.
	Less than that when you take the Arab population out.
	The United States hasn't won a war since World War II.
	They couldn't defeat Iraq.
	Longest war in American history, Afghanistan.
	They couldn't beat the Taliban.
	And I got this little fat, arrogant-mouthed little clown boy exit saying we're going to take out Iran?
	So what they're going to do, this is why I'm going back to gold prices and whether people are concerned.
	Israel, as you well know, has the Samson option.
	If we lose, Israel says they're going nuclear.
	They have between 200 to 400 nuclear warheads.
	Iran's not allowed to have any.
	Israel could have.
	They're the chosen people.
	They could have them.
	What kind of arrogance is this crap?
	So anyway, what we do, again, that's why gold prices are going up.
	The geopolitical, and then we'll get to the economic.
	But to stay on this, as trend forecasters, we go to, we subscribe to Ha Ha That's the Israeli newspaper.
	We pay subscription.
	We go to Times of Israel.
	We go to Jerusalem Post.
	We want to hear everything they're saying.
	We also go to IRNA, ISNA, Press TV, Tehran Times.
	We want to hear what the Iranians are saying.
	So we also go to Arab News, Middle East Monitor, Al Jazeera.
	We want to hear what the Arabs have to say.
	So this is from...
	ISNA, the Iranian news agency, Wednesday.
	Iran finance minister.
	New U.S. sanctions will have negative impact on talk progress.
	Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas, whatever his last name was, has criticized recent U.S. sanctions amid ongoing indirect talks, warning that such, quote, Provocative actions cast doubt on Washington's seriousness in the negotiations.
	Yeah, obviously.
	I said it was a front from the beginning.
	They're setting the stage saying that we wanted to have peace talks with Iran, but they wanted no part of them.
	Netanyahu, the maniac, murderer, arrogant, lying, scummy, rotten hell, is going to ramp up this war.
	They are bombing and killing people, Israel, in Syria, in Lebanon, in the West Bank, and in Gaza.
	Every day.
	Hey!
	We're the chosen people.
	We can do anything we want.
	You know, by the way, when I say, you know, when I say about this has nothing to do with being anti-Jewish or anti-Semitic, save your crap.
	Every day, you know, I have pictures in my place of all my aunts and uncles, and I thank my friends that passed away that gave me so much.
	And some of the people I thank every day.
	Or Al Bolotin, Bert Feinson, Mr. and Mrs. Singer, Mr. and Mrs. Rosenblatt, Herbie and Harold.
	Herbie and Harold, I was a soda jerk.
	They used to call us soda jerks.
	I worked at a soda fountain.
	Herbie and Harold owned the place.
	They couldn't have been nicer to me.
	Mr. and Mrs. Singer, Mr. and Mrs. Rosenblatt, Al Bolot, Bert Feinson.
	They couldn't have been nicer.
	All Jewish people.
	I thank them every day.
	It has nothing to do with religions, just like you don't hate all the German people under Hitler, all the Italians under Mussolini.
	But that's what's going on now because of what's going on with Israel.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	I said that all the time.
	You know, when you look at American foreign policy, look at what our government has done.
	Look at what the CIA has done.
	It's like, you know, don't hate me because I happen to be an American, because I hate that policy.
	And I despise and oppose that government that does those things.
	And so we make a distinction between it.
	And as I said, you know, when you look at what they're doing with the colleges and other things like that, trying to blackmail them into censorship and deporting people and everything for writing op-ed pieces, I said, you know, that doesn't have anything to do It has to do with criticism of a foreign government that has taken over our politicians.
	And when you look at what these people are doing, I mean, it's amazing to see this guy, Cassidy, who we just saw in all these hearings, setting in judgments and vetoing anybody that would talk about autism.
	Or vaccine issues and everything, because he completely sold out to Big Pharma.
	Well, he's completely sold out to the Israelis as well.
	And, you know, trying to push through this Anti-Semitism Awareness Act nonsense.
	And he despises informed consent.
	He despises the First Amendment as well.
	And he's completely for sale to these special interest groups.
	And I said earlier in the program, I've got to give him the...
	They ought to give him the award.
	What was the name of the guy?
	I mentioned it in the thing.
	The Israeli spy that they had.
	Jonathan Pollard.
	I said they ought to give him the Jonathan Pollard Award over these people as traitors to this country.
	And, you know, that's really what these people like Cassidy are.
	They're betraying and subverting our own Constitution, our basic God-given liberty of free speech.
	And they're doing it at the behest of a foreign government.
	You can't get any more traitorous than that.
	No.
	Again, look how many of them bought out by AIPAC.
	Mm-hmm.
	Oh, yeah.
	And look how AIPAC kills anybody that goes against them in terms of losing their elections.
	Yes.
	And again, look at that.
	Did you see that clip from that little arrogant piece of scum, that Noel Coleman?
	Mm-mm.
	No, I didn't see that.
	Oh, you didn't see that?
	No.
	Noel Coleman was a former senator from Minnesota.
	He said that the masters of the universe are the Jews.
	You didn't see this?
	I didn't see that.
	I've got one that I'll tell you that you probably didn't see.
	I saw Michelle Bachman, and she was on, and she was saying, you know, we're seeing miracles all the time in Gaza coming up out of the rubble.
	She wasn't talking about people who'd survived the bombing.
	She was talking about the onward march of the kingdom.
	And it's like, you're not talking about the kingdom that I'm following.
	You know, Christ said, the kingdom of God is within you.
	And he said, it's not of this world.
	If it was of this world, my servants would fight.
	But that's what she's trying to portray this at.
	This is the march of God's kingdom by killing and destroying civilians and children.
	It's amazing.
	But can you imagine the arrogance of this clown saying the masters of the universe are the Jews?
	Yeah.
	And then he goes on.
	That's why a lot of Christians are acting.
	They replace Jesus with Israel.
	You know?
	They really do.
	They worship this political entity and they want to excuse war for them.
	But yeah, so he says the masters of the universe.
	Go ahead.
	What else did he say?
	Oh, he goes, Zuckerberg.
	He starts naming them.
	The guy, Google, what's his name?
	The guy that was with...
	And anyway, he starts naming, you know, Zuckerberg starts the masters of the universe.
	We're just pieces of crap.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Now, if you point out, this is one of the things that would accuse people of being anti-Semitic, if you point out these successful people that are Jewish, they would say, well, that's a trope, and that's anti-Semitism, because when we look at what these people like Zuckerberg and Bloomberg and all these other people do,
	there's some pretty bad guys, and you're not supposed to notice that the bad guys are Jewish.
	This guy likes what they're doing, I guess, and so he calls them the masters of the universe.
	Masters of the universe are Jews.
	That's a quote.
	So I'm just a little giddy from the Bronx.
	I'm a nobody.
	You're a nobody.
	How dare you say Masters of the Universe?
	Who the hell are you?
	Who the hell are you?
	That's where you belong in hell.
	Oh, Coleman, you changed your name.
	It was Goldman.
	I forgot.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, well, there's a rabbi that famously said within the last year, I forget the exact date that he came out with, he said, the problem with you Christians is you're only worshiping one Jew.
	You should worship us all.
	He said, we're dying for your sins.
	We're fighting these orcs in Gaza or whatever.
	You know, that was his approach.
	He actually said that.
	You know, that's the attitude that is there.
	And that's what's going on.
	And I'm saying, going back to goal, they are going to Bomb Iran.
	We're going to expand it, yeah.
	And it's going to hit oil, it's going to hit everything, and then of course, just economic disaster, kind of like Trump's tariff stuff.
	Speaking of bombs, we've got this slow-moving bomb of the tariffs, because all of the massive stuff that he put on China, the 145% thing, That is kind of a slow boat from China that is getting here,
	and that slow boat should be arriving in the next week or two, where we start to see all of the empty boats, or the boats that aren't arriving, I should say, because they're not sending them.
	You know, a lot of stuff is already in the pipeline, already on its way over.
	We're going to start seeing the effects of that in a couple of weeks.
	What do you think about that?
	Well, what's going to happen is that people, again, it's in your magazine, the Trends Journal, there's been very, the reason, Remember, we just saw the negative GDP in the United States, but that's hardly news anymore.
	The markets are going up.
	People are buying more.
	They're buying cars.
	A lot of the companies are buying more products, and the expectation of prices are going to go up.
	So there's going to be a false little boom.
	So it's not going to go down right away.
	It'll probably go down in about three or four months because they're buying up.
	And by the way, before I forget, Going back to Yemen, the Yemenis are bombing the ships that are going into Israel, and they say they'll stop doing this when they stop slaughtering the people in Gaza.
	There he did for the ceasefire, and then they stopped that, and then they started it back up again when Israel broke the ceasefire.
	What you just said, Israel broke the ceasefire, not a word of that in the mainstream media.
	Not only did they break the ceasefire there, they broke it in Lebanon as well.
	They're wiping out entire neighborhoods of southern Lebanon.
	They're bombing Beirut.
	Here.
	UK joins US in airstrikes on Yemen.
	Alright?
	The UK.
	How about trying an F-A-U and a C in that UK?
	Yeah.
	What are they doing over there?
	Here.
	Israel launches airstrike warning in Syria.
	That's from the Financial Times yesterday.
	They're bombing anybody they want.
	They're going back to gold.
	Now, you have with the sanctions, you look at China's GDP.
	Look at China's manufacturing.
	It's going way down.
	The GDP hasn't gone down far yet, but the manufacturing is going way down.
	China has a crisis in the housing market.
	They overbuilt when they got into the World Trade Organization back in 2001.
	With every boom, there's a bust, but they had three years of zero COVID policy.
	Yeah.
	There's three years of zero COVID policy.
	We're even a hundred times worse than what was going on in America.
	They had cameras outside, everywhere.
	Everything in China is digital.
	You don't pay with cash or anything.
	Everything's digital.
	People were under total control by the government.
	They destroyed their economy.
	They already had that traffic light system.
	They'd already put in biometric identification.
	And so, you know, they're watching, as you point out, they watch everything that everybody's doing.
	And, you know, if you jaywalk, well, okay, we're going to not only fine you, but we're going to make sure that you're going to be punished in other ways.
	You're not going to be able to travel.
	You're not going to be able to do this.
	And the rest of the world is these globalists are using China really as a beta test site.
	So we can see this horrific stuff that is happening there.
	And they're just testing it to see how people react and to get the technology in place so they can do it to the rest of the world.
	So
	So, their economy is going down.
	All the global economies are going down.
	And again, Europe is ramping up for war.
	As I said, when all else fails, they take you to war.
	It gets the people's mind off the economic problems.
	Yeah, they're not allowing in Germany.
	They're not quite as far along this net zero nonsense as the UK is.
	But in Germany, they're shutting down reliable power plants.
	They're telling the car companies electric only and all the rest of the stuff now.
	Now, with this massive deficit funding that the German government is doing, pouring money into the military-industrial complex, and of course they're going to tell them, oh yeah, make tanks and make planes and all the rest of the stuff.
	These things use infinitely more fuel and create their emissions and everything, infinitely more.
	than any of the passenger cars would do.
	But that's where they're going to steer everybody.
	So all of a sudden, you know, Volkswagen, which was shut down, now you've got to basically, you're not going to be able to make any cars unless they're electric.
	Now they're going to unleash Volkswagen to make gas-guzzling tanks and planes and all the rest of this stuff.
	I mean, it's all so phony.
	But the consistency is that the real objective, I believe, behind all this climate stuff, as well as the war, is depopulation.
	And so there is that That criminal thread that runs through all of this stuff, that gives it a consistency.
	Whatever they do, it's about controlling and killing us.
	Again, look at the freaks running this show.
	Look at the little gots on Macron over there in France.
	Look at the little jerk over there in the UK, Starmer.
	We talked about Clown Boy Mertz.
	You got Trump.
	Before you had Biden?
	Out of your mind, right in front of you?
	Yeah.
	Then your face?
	It's a freak show.
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	And this is important, too.
	What the media is doing is they're saying that Germany and these other countries, by building up their military, that's going to build up their gross domestic product.
	That's not.
	When products are produced that consumers buy, That's what brings up the economy.
	These products that are being produced, nobody's buying them.
	All the money's going into the pockets of the military-industrial complex.
	It's kind of like the broken window fallacy, except what they're doing is they're creating the infrastructure to break windows, right, to destroy.
	It's an infrastructure that's being built to do destruction on a massive scale, and then they call that creative.
	So we see gold.
	Gold could easily go to $3,400, $3,500.
	There's no question, because this thing is going to get wilder and wilder.
	Look, there's never been an administration like the Trump administration.
	The first hundred days, look at this freak show.
	Look at the things that he's doing, what you were talking about.
	And by the way, you know, cutting off all this money going to colleges, why is a college like Trump, like Harvard, getting all our taxpayer money for these?
	What are you giving all our money to these colleges for?
	Oh, absolutely.
	I've said that over and over again.
	I think it's an absolute outrage that they're getting $9 billion.
	I thought it was bad when it was Princeton or Columbia.
	Columbia, I think it was.
	It was getting $400 million.
	Is that right?
	$400 million?
	Yeah, I was right.
	And then I see Harvard getting $9 billion.
	One of the richest institutions in this country.
	And, of course, it's the big guys who always get the money from the government, isn't it?
	As George Collins said, it's one big club and you ain't in it.
	Yeah, yeah.
	You know, you're talking about the price of gold.
	You know, what you mentioned was very conservative.
	I saw one guy, probably the most aggressive, saying that $10,000 gold, and he said that because he thought of the supply chain issues that are going to happen.
	You know, again, you know, when you had all these, I played this earlier in the show, some, you know, the big cabinet meeting that Trump had.
	And how it began with everybody, you know, kissing his ring and, oh, you're just the greatest person ever, that type of stuff, right?
	And Rubio was bragging about his stuff.
	He goes, what I like about this administration, he said, always in the past, they've had to do study, and then a study on the study, and then study the study, and all the rest.
	Now we just do everything right away.
	And he said, and it's going really fast, and it's changing like every day, every hour, every minute even, he said.
	And I said, yeah, that's the problem.
	You know, it's kind of like they don't think about what they're doing.
	And so, you know, this tariff thing is just like this moving train wreck, and they're reacting to the destruction that they're doing, but the very fact that they're changing all the time, I think, is the most destructive thing about the tariffs.
	The fact that there's this uncertainty, and nobody knows what to do or how to plan, and it's especially destructive to small businesses.
	Do you think this is going to be the second phase of Trump's attack on small businesses to go ahead and finally wipe out most of them?
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	But, you know, the thing with Trump, again, like you say, everything changes.
	And again, he said, when I get into office, I'm going to put a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico.
	He gets into office, I'm going to wait two weeks.
	Two weeks come, he puts them on, three days later he takes them off.
	You vote for me.
	I'm going to end that Ukraine war in 24 hours.
	I know, I know.
	All right?
	All right?
	Hey, I won the election.
	I'm going to end that Ukraine war before I get into office.
	All right?
	Yeah.
	All right?
	And nobody comes after this clown for lying, lying, spewing out his arrogant crap.
	Why, how?
	Gary, you come out against Trump.
	I suck up all his crap.
	Why don't you?
	That's the attitude.
	Oh, yeah.
	We saw that this week with the tattoo nonsense, you know, him insisting that that was on there.
	Let's talk about the U.S.-Ukraine deal, okay?
	Now, you know, he said, well, yeah, we've got to have their rare earth minerals.
	And then everybody kind of quietly pointed out, some people did.
	Well, the areas where they've got the rare earth minerals are under control of the Russians for the most part.
	And so now they've got this deal where there's kind of this profit-sharing plan.
	I mean, to me, it looks like just flat-out crony capitalism and looting that's going on there.
	But I had somebody on last week that was part of a rare earth company here in the U.S. And he was talking about, yeah, we've got to have our own rare earth.
	I said, well, how long is it going to take?
	Well, you know, maybe about five years or whatever, you know, that's what they're looking at.
	So what do we do in the meantime, right?
	We've got to have this critical stuff, and it isn't there.
	He does a deal with Ukraine, and of course, you know, he's doing a deal for minerals that are there, and they do have some minerals there, but it's not really the rare earth stuff that's there.
	But when you look at this deal, it's a partnership, and as I'm starting to look through what they have said, it looks like a big crony capitalist pig trough that is there.
	It looks like, you know, they're going to rebuild the country.
	Looks like what Cheney was doing with Halliburton and Iraq and all the rest of this stuff, you know, the feeders are going to come in there, and they're going to have this 50-50 partnership for minerals and all this kind of stuff.
	So, I mean, what do you think is going to happen with that?
	And do you think that's going to be enough to get peace, or is it going to continue down this path of war?
	What do you think?
	It's going to continue the path of war, and what you said is exactly the truth.
	It's the bigs going in there, making more money, stealing what they can and robbing whatever they want.
	You call him Dick Cheney.
	I have to be proper because I don't want to get blacklisted.
	I call him Penis Cheney because I don't want to call him Dick Cheney.
	But look at that little arrogant piece of scum that that guy was.
	It is.
	And again, it's not going to make any difference in a peace talk with Russia.
	Here's the deal.
	Russia's not going to give back the 20% land that they've taken over.
	Everybody talks about Crimea, but they never talk about...
	They had an election in Crimea.
	Crimea was part of Russia for centuries.
	Yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	And they had an election that was monitored by those organizations that monitor elections.
	It was totally legit.
	And about 97% of the people in Crimea voted to leave Ukraine and go with Russia.
	It's Russian language and Russian culture, this there.
	And, of course, the Russians have always had their black fleet.
	Stationed there in Crimea as well.
	So for all those reasons, Crimea is not going to happen.
	What about, I mean, is it looking like Zelensky is going to move on that?
	And then are there other areas of conflict there, in your opinion?
	No, because, and again, the area that they've taken over were the areas that the Ukrainians were killing the people in those areas.
	They killed over 15,000 in the Donbass region.
	They're Russian people.
	Again, if I could pick it up here real quick.
	And it was going on for eight years.
	It was going on from 2014.
	They're shelling civilians.
	And again, nobody reported that in the Western press.
	Here's your Trends Journal, 2014.
	Washington driving the world to the final war.
	And here it is, Ukraine, article written by Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, United States overthrow the democratically elected government, the Viktor Yanukovych, in Ukraine back in 2014,
	that slimeball Victoria Nuland handing out, and what's his name, John McCain, insane McCain, handing out cookies and candies in Maiden Square, the United States, Putting that Azov gang in there to overthrow the government.
	But people have no idea that that's only facts.
	And this is very important.
	We saw this coming.
	And we warned about it.
	Because prior to the overthrow, there's an article in the magazine.
	Yeah, you see this thing over there?
	Yeah.
	There was a lead up to the Winter Olympics.
	Three weeks before the United States overthrew the government.
	Security expert.
	It's not if, but when for Sociolympics terror attack.
	Veteran security consultant Bill Rathborn, Crapborn it should be, hopes that he's wrong about the upcoming Winter Olympics in Russia, but he has more than a hunch that he's not.
	Quote.
	The security threat is higher than it's ever been in the history of the Olympic Games, Rathborn said.
	In my opinion, it's not a matter of whether there will be some incident.
	It's just a matter of how bad it's going to be.
	We noted this because it was day after day, week after week, that the United States warned the American people not to go to the Sociolympics.
	Because it would be deadly.
	It was a total lie.
	Right after that, they overthrew the government.
	It was a setup.
	People have no idea about this.
	So we're giving people that they're not getting anywhere else.
	And only by the facts.
	And the facts are, they're going to ramp up.
	There's not going to be a peace talk there.
	Ukraine is going to bomb more nuclear power plants or whatever.
	They'll bomb Russian oil pipelines, depots, whatever they can, strike deeper into Moscow.
	They're going to ramp up this war and Europe's going to ramp it up with it.
	Again, not a word about peace.
	Not one person in the media is allowed to talk about peace.
	Yeah, I agree.
	I agree.
	Yeah, as a matter of fact, on RT, they're ramping up, you know, saying, well, Trump's got his golden dome that he wants to build in a few years or whatever that he imagines he's going to build.
	And RT did a long expose on a weapon system that Russia has been developing for a while, which is a cruise missile.
	Of course, they can put a nuclear warhead on it, but it's a cruise missile that actually has nuclear propulsion on it.
	And the issue is that this thing has an operational range of 22,000 kilometers.
	And can stay up in the air for days, they said, even weeks or months without refueling because of this.
	And so we just put these things on patrol.
	I remember when cruise missiles first came out.
	As a matter of fact, one of the first jobs I interviewed for was, well, I was interviewing with Texas Instruments, and they wanted me to interview with a lot of different groups.
	And one of the groups was a group that did cruise missile guidance systems and stuff.
	And it's like, I don't want anything to do with this.
	I had a friend who was in the military, and he said, you know, with the cruise missiles, we can pick which window of the Kremlin that we want to stick this thing through.
	And I was like, okay, great.
	I don't want to be a part of that, though.
	And so now they can do that.
	That was 40, 50 years ago.
	Now they can still have that kind of accuracy.
	But what they can do is keep this thing afloat for days, weeks, even months.
	And just called in.
	It's kind of like another version of these nuclear subs that are out there.
	So they're putting this out on RT because they don't see peace coming, I think.
	No.
	Yeah.
	They call it their doomsday cruise missiles, like Dr. Strangelove again.
	Again, we have evil people running the world.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	You're evil.
	Yeah.
	I agree.
	Well, you know, this week we had, on Wednesday, We had a couple of anniversaries.
	We had the 2000th anniversary of this show.
	I turned 70, and it was also the day that the Vietnam War officially ended.
	And I didn't realize that when I saw that.
	You know, I thought, wait a minute.
	75?
	1975?
	I thought it ended in 73, because for me...
	For me, it did end.
	They had these talks in January of 73, and they were kind of then going to back out of it and whatever.
	And the last person that got drafted was in June of 73, and that was when I graduated from school.
	So I was like, okay, it's over.
	I didn't pay any attention.
	It's like I'm not interested now because they're not going to try to send me over there.
	But I didn't realize that it drug on.
	For another couple of years, you know, until 1975.
	We got the famous helicoptering out of the U.S. Embassy and so forth in Saigon.
	What are your takes on the Vietnam War and what we definitely did not learn from that?
	Well, you know, when I was a young guy, you know, I believed it.
	I believed in the law that if we don't stop those Vietnamese, they're going to take...
	I was a young, you know...
	The domino theory.
	Yeah, I believed it.
	But I didn't want to get drafted because they didn't want to get my brains blown out.
	So that's why I did everything to beat the draft.
	Unlike Trump and Biden that beat the draft, but they like war.
	Two draft dodges.
	Trump got an ankle spurt.
	His father bought paid off.
	Bone spur on the ankle.
	What are you, kidding me?
	But anyway, going back to it, think about this.
	It's the same communist country, right?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	We import, that's our biggest, second largest importer of furniture, clothing, and shoes we bring in from Vietnam.
	Yeah, exactly.
	That's the hypocrisy.
	And I'm not saying we shouldn't, I'm just saying the hypocrisy of it.
	Yeah, exactly.
	They're not a threat.
	Instead, what they did was they peacefully joined the system, and they did really well in the system, joining in and manufacturing stuff.
	And I've talked about it in the past, too.
	Errol Morris is a great filmmaker.
	He had this way where he would use a teleprompter years and years ago.
	I mean, his documentaries that I'm talking about are like 30 years old or whatever.
	But he would use a teleprompter to, instead of doing a face-to-face interview, Put that there to kind of put people at ease.
	And before he became a filmmaker, he was an investigator and an interrogator, right?
	And he called it his Interrotron.
	And so he would talk to people, and his first documentary is able to get this guy to confess to a murder that they had somebody else on death row for.
	It's called A Thin Blue Line.
	But he got Robert McNamara, before McNamara died, he got him on and interviewed him for a couple of days, and McNamara just confessed a whole bunch of stuff.
	Like, yeah, it was based on a false flag there, and the Gulf of Tonkin incident, we knew that that was a false flag, and we did it anyway.
	And he's basically trying to excuse it and say, yeah, well, you know, what we did was not nearly as bad as the bombing of Dresden.
	And, you know, so don't blame me for any war crimes and all the rest of this stuff.
	Stood up and banged his fist on the table and said, what's all this nonsense about dominoes?
	Don't you know anything?
	Don't you know that for a thousand years we were fighting the Chinese and we still have issues with the Chinese?
	Because this whole domino theory was the dumbest thing we've ever seen, you know?
	And McNamara, supposedly this really smart quiz kid guy, says, yeah, you know, he was actually right, you know?
	Isn't it amazing, you know, how we were lied to with all of that stuff?
	I have that.
	I was just looking it up here in my book.
	Trends 2000.
	I write about exactly what that guy said and McNamara.
	How about he lied.
	They knew that they were lying.
	They're all a bunch of lying, little, low-life, arrogant.
	Remember how arrogant McNamara was?
	Oh, yeah.
	Like that little headset boy.
	Arrogant.
	Look at the little moron we have as a Secretary of State, Rubio.
	Could you get a little double clown jerked in that?
	Yeah, he's the one that says we don't need studies, and that's a good thing.
	We don't need studies.
	We can do everything at warp speed.
	We can do the vaccines at warp speed, the lockdowns.
	We can do the tariffs, everything.
	We don't need to think about where this is going to happen with us.
	Yeah, well, you know, when I look back at the Vietnam War, I was at the very tail end of it, right?
	And I had my sisters knew people who were, you know, the boys were facing that and knew some who had gone and some had survived in that time, and some didn't.
	And so we were watching it closely, and it was already apparent.
	I mean, it became a lot more apparent after the war, but it's already apparent that they, McNamara and these people, had no intention of winning that war.
	They would go in, they would fight, they would win a battle.
	And then at great cost, and then they would just evacuate and turn it back over to the enemy.
	And it's like, there's absolutely no way that I'm going to get involved in something like that.
	It's just insanity.
	And yet, to me, yeah, exactly.
	And to me, that is the essence.
	Of the military-industrial complex and the U.S. government's policy, they don't really care.
	It's just, let's have a war.
	Let's keep the war going as long as we can.
	And I've seen it over and over again.
	I've seen it in Iraq.
	I've seen it in Afghanistan.
	They'll just keep the war going.
	And they don't care the human cost to our own soldiers.
	I've talked to so many people who were just a little bit older than I was, and the trauma that they went through in Vietnam was just amazing, the stuff that they had these guys do.
	I know a guy who just died from Agent Orange for so many years.
	And you know what they said to the troops?
	They were spraying this stuff to kill mosquitoes.
	Really?
	Wow.
	Well, I know a guy that was at Texas Instruments, and he would talk about how his job was recon.
	And he said what they would do is they would drop him and another guy way behind enemy lines, and then they would have to work their way out.
	And they would get back.
	If they made it back, they would tell them what they saw.
	And he said, we'd have to travel by night.
	And he goes, during the day, you know, there's bugs and all the rest of that stuff.
	But he said, you'll be there and you'll be trying to sleep during the day.
	And all of a sudden, Viet Cong comes through and he said, if we moved, they were going to kill us.
	You know, so it was this constant terror.
	And he said, we would go through this and it would take us a week or two to make our way back.
	And so then what they would do is they would give us about the same equivalent time.
	They would give us two or three weeks.
	They would fly us to Hawaii, and we would indulge in every kind of hedonistic thing you can imagine for two weeks.
	Then we come back.
	And it starts all over again.
	They take us into this insane thing, dropping us way behind enemy lines and trying to find our way out without being killed.
	And I thought, man, the stuff that they did to people in that war that was absolutely unnecessary, that they had absolutely no interest in winning, because, again, they would just abandon these places that they took over.
	It was just insane.
	And yet, that's our policy.
	That's our Pentagon policy.
	It's insanity.
	Again, you know, they're evil people.
	Yeah.
	And they're not the brightest cats either, just to make that clear.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, that's the thing.
	The mistake that we make is to underestimate their technology that other people have created for them and then to overestimate their morality because they're just not normal.
	You talked about the Gulf of Tonkin.
	What the hell are we doing over there?
	What if the Vietnamese were in the Gulf of Mexico?
	Yeah.
	The Gulf of America, Gerald.
	What's the matter with you?
	Oh, I forgot.
	I'm sorry.
	Don't report me.
	You'll not be able to get any White House press credentials because of that.
	You'll be banned.
	Isn't it insane?
	What is going on?
	Well, if we had more time, I would talk to you about this big crypto grift that's going on with Eric Trump.
	And the son of Whitcoff.
	I forget what the Whitcoff's name is, but, you know, real estate buddy of Donald Trump.
	I think he's Jerkoff.
	Yeah.
	It's an amazing thing because you've got a foreign government.
	That is going to be using their stablecoin to get $2 billion worth of stuff stored.
	And they're operating as a bank.
	You know, Eric Trump said banks are going to be gone in 10 years because what they're doing is they're setting up his company and stablecoin as a bank.
	You put this stuff on deposit with them, and then they put it out and make money off it.
	So they're going to make tens or hundreds of millions of dollars off of this $2 billion that are there.
	And the New York Times is talking about it, saying...
	This is just unbelievable, the amount of, in your face, corruption that is there.
	I wish we had time to talk about that.
	We'll talk about that maybe next time when you come on.
	We're just about out of time.
	I want to thank, on Rumble, we have Talman916.
	Thank you very much for the tip.
	He says, Happy belated birthday, David.
	My dad's birthday is tomorrow.
	Also turning 70. Well, that's great.
	And so, happy birthday to your dad.
	Tell him I said that.
	Today's your birthday?
	No, my birthday was on Wednesday, when I had my 2000th show.
	So I turned 70 on Wednesday, and we had show number 2000 on Wednesday.
	So it was kind of interesting, yeah.
	It's funny that it lined up that way.
	But yeah, it's been great, and we really appreciate people's support.
	And folks, again, if you want to get ahead of the trends, take a look at Trends Journal, trendsjournal.com, and you can save 10% off with the code night.
	Thank you so much for joining us, Gerald.
	Thank you, and thank you for all you do.
	Thank you.
	Have a good weekend, everybody.
	Bye-bye.
	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.
	Please share the information and links you'll find at TheDavidKnightShow.com.
	Thank you for listening.
	Thank you for sharing.
