	As the clock strikes 13, it is Thursday, the 15th of May, year of our Lord, 2025.
	Today we're going to look at the hate for the white South African refugees.
	Is China planning on ways to take down the American power grid, and will the green energy scam make it easier for them to do so?
	And we're going to be joined by Tony Arterburn, who's going to give us the latest in gold and silver.
	Stay tuned.
	Good morning and thank you for joining us.
	Hope you're all having a blessed day.
	And of course, we'll start the program with an update on my dad.
	Got to see him yesterday.
	I didn't get to visit the day before because of all the work there is to do.
	But he seems to be doing better and to be in better spirits.
	So thank you all so much for praying.
	We just ask that you continue to pray for him.
	He is still in a lot of pain and in a lot of discomfort.
	Hospitals are not the best place for sleeping.
	There's always someone coming in and doing something.
	The beds are not the most comfortable.
	So just pray that he's able to get some rest, and of course pray for a swift and miraculous healing.
	And please keep our mom in your prayers as well.
	She has been there with him every minute of the day.
	The only time she hasn't been by his side is during the surgery itself.
	And if she could have found a way to sneak in there, I think she might have.
	Please pray that she's given strength and peace through all this.
	And just keep us in your prayers as well.
	This is...
	I'm doing my best, but they are big shoes to fill.
	So just please pray that I am able to find words to say, that I would have some insights that would be helpful to people.
	And I think today, as I said, we're going to start with looking at the sheer level of hate that is coming towards these white South African farmers that are being given refugee status.
	It is truly amazing that all it takes for the left to turn on all of its values and begin to hate refugees and immigrants is for them to be white.
	This is coming out of World Net Daily.
	It's written by Bob Unruh.
	Our president has secret service.
	You do not.
	Woman of color issues chilling threat to white refugees welcomed by Trump.
	You can see her picture right there.
	She seems like a well-balanced individual.
	That smile does not creep me out in any way.
	She seems like a lovely person.
	A black woman who styles herself an author has posted a social media video of her shocking rant against whites from South Africa who have been targeted for death in their own country and have been declared refugees to the United States.
	You know, if she was an author, you'd think she would have written some impassioned piece instead of just recording a video.
	But, you know, I suppose to each their own.
	I just want to make you aware that the black people who were students during apartheid, we're grandmas and grandpas now.
	So we have the heir of Gen Z, okay?
	The woman states, one more thing, I also want to let you know that our president, he has secret service, and you will not.
	that.
	Already, threats of violence over this.
	Or at least the implication of violence.
	These people, uh...
	The black community has, over the years, developed quite a chip on its shoulder.
	And any...
	Any sort of aid they see coming from the government, they tend to get upset if it's not directed directly at their own community as they feel they have first rights to it, as they feel the government are the reason for all their suffering.
	It is truly sad to see what utter dependence upon the government will do to a population, and that if they are not given it, they will lash out at anyone.
	That seems to be receiving it.
	In America, she said, black people over here are empowered.
	Which, you can't have it both ways.
	You can't both be oppressed, unable to achieve anything.
	You know, everyone is keeping you down at all times, and be empowered.
	You can't have it both ways.
	It's either one or the other, lady.
	And when they arrive, they are to sit down, don't touch nothing, and to have the day you deserve.
	Another slightly ominous statement, though I can't say I truly understand have the day you deserve.
	Perhaps that means something.
	Perhaps that's, you know, some new slang I'm not up on.
	The rant was posted by Diva Moore.
	Who is described as a career coach.
	Would you trust this lady to coach your career?
	I'm not sure.
	Unless you're some kind of sociopath looking on inflicting violence, she would be able to give you any sort of advice on these situations.
	Perhaps if you are someone looking to terrorize white families, she could give you some advice on how to better achieve that.
	But...
	Other than those scenarios, I'm not exactly sure what kind of career she would be fit to coach you on.
	Perhaps you and chat have some ideas.
	If you do pass them along, I'd love to hear.
	That might be a dangerous ask in this case.
	As a result...
	Blacks now in charge have decided to simply take the land belonging to whites and hand it back out to blacks.
	Part of the race war there now is extreme violence against whites, up to and including murder.
	That's right.
	These people are not new to the area.
	They did not just show up yesterday and claim the land.
	They have been there and they have been working the land for generations.
	In fact, they are largely the reason that the area has food, and chances are, without the white farmers, it will result in a massive famine, and we will see a loss of life there due to it.
	The white South Africans are the ones who provide most of the food in that area.
	Daily Mail pointed out that more linked to her coaching business...
	Ah, yes, it's always a good idea to link your business on your...
	Threats of violence let people know that in case they don't want to book you for an assault, they can book you for a coaching session where she boasts she is a luminary in the realm of human relations and is the epitome of wisdom and proficiency.
	That's a bold claim to make, and I'm not sure that she is perhaps the epitome of Assessing herself.
	She might have an inflated view of what she is capable of.
	Her ego might be a little out of control on top of being somewhat sociopathic.
	The report described her comments as a chilling threat.
	Well, they got that right.
	It came just days after the Episcopal Church in America announced it was refusing to help the white Afrikaners under a federally funded program to help migrants, through which it has accepted millions of taxpayer dollars for years.
	That's right.
	Again, the Episcopal Church has bailed out and said they want no part of helping these people that are being targeted for rape and murder, and it is being sanctioned by the government of the country that they have lived in for generations.
	The Episcopal Church is a shame to the name.
	The church said it was because the refugees are white.
	Yeah.
	Simply because they are white, they are not entitled to nor deserving of your sympathy.
	You should turn a blind eye.
	Sympathy, empathy, and support and help of any kind are only for minorities, someone of a different skin color.
	Because if you are white, you are intrinsically bad, and you are intrinsically higher up on the totem pole.
	You immediately are entitled to success.
	You will succeed no matter what if you are white.
	And if you are not white, you will not succeed because that's just how the system is set up.
	it's designed of course to keep white people on top there is not a cancerous group of parasites at the top that don't care about what skin color you are and simply want everyone dead Trump has explained South Africa is running a genocide against whites and they are being classified as refugees because they are being killed.
	U.S. Senate Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce indicated today the United States sends a clear message in alignment with the administration's America First foreign policy agenda that America will take action to protect victims of racial discrimination.
	We stand with these refugees as they build a better future for themselves and their children in the United States.
	Again.
	And can I just point out, nearly six dozen.
	That is such a tiny number.
	Yeah, it's paltry.
	It is shocking that that is what's kicking all of this off.
	Yeah, we've had a flood of immigrants and quote-unquote refugees for who knows how many years, but by six dozen white South Africans, suddenly everyone comes unglued.
	The standards are double.
	We've got some comments here.
	Shield your eyes.
	Everyone knows white people cannot be immigrants.
	That's true.
	If you're white, you are not allowed to go anywhere.
	You're not allowed to do anything.
	You just stay in your house and you think about ways to oppress others.
	I mean, I know that's what I do with my time.
	When I'm not on the show, I've been sitting at my desk thinking about how I can keep minorities down.
	I mean, I assume that we're all on the same page, aren't we, white people?
	You know, I missed the last meeting, but hopefully in the next one I'll catch up.
	Junk Silver.
	Those South African farmers know how to defend themselves.
	Yes, they do.
	Yes, they do.
	They have made it very clear that they will not be driven off the land without a fight.
	They are standing up for their rights and to protect their family, and you should keep them in your prayers because it is a very dangerous situation they are dealing with.
	They are hated and...
	The people who hate them are incredibly violent.
	It is a horrific situation to deal with.
	Shield your eyes.
	Murder is not new to South Africa.
	Yes, Africa is and has been a place of violence for, well, basically as long as anyone has been looking at it.
	at least the Africa that the British have gone to and we have looked at, there are records from when the British showed up and some of the things that they saw are absolutely horrifying and disgusting, the type of thing that in this day and age would, you know, yeah, no, the things I've read and heard about are just truly horrifying.
	And this article is from Breitbart.
	Fact-checked.
	South African president claims Afrikaners don't face discrimination.
	This is by Olivia Rondow.
	Claim white South Africans, member of the Afrikaner or Boer minority group, do not face racial discrimination or persecution by the South African government.
	Well, we know that's not true.
	They routinely chant to kill the Boer and sing songs about how they want to murder all the white farmers at their rallies.
	This has been building and growing for years, so it just routinely gets worse.
	They have been targeted specifically and used as a way to gain power by a political group that hates them and have been turning the population further and further against them as a way.
	to split the population.
	And it's just a way of promising, hey, you kill these people and we'll redistribute their land and it'll be yours now.
	It is simply, again, just Marxism and practice.
	Yes.
	Ron Helton won.
	Yes.
	I'm assuming the Trump administration, as incompetent and farcical as it is, isn't going to drop them into the heart of Chicago.
	That would be, you know, out of the fire into a frying pan, so to speak.
	And I imagine they have at least more sense than that.
	You know, put them somewhere out in the West and they will do great.
	These people come from a long line of survivors and hard workers.
	I imagine that they will do well just about anywhere.
	And Max, persecuted Christians around the world denied refugee status in America because it's not about rescuing people but screwing you over.
	And a comment from Whistler, exactly, it's about using compassion as a front for replacement.
	Yes, that is true.
	They are not compassionate.
	They simply want to replace you with people that will be more amenable to what they want, will depend more on the government, and do what they say.
	They just want a group of serfs that they can control.
	And the American people, at least in the past, were a group that was very heavily freedom-minded.
	They were independent.
	They didn't look to the government for things.
	And as such, they want to get rid of that stock.
	They don't want the potential of that coming back.
	Group of people that have been crushed for thousands of years by oppressive regime after oppressive regime.
	It does something to them.
	It makes them less likely to rebel in future.
	This isn't to say that everyone born into those regimes is like that, but it does.
	I mean, you can look at China.
	There are millions upon millions of people there.
	And while, you know, I'm sure not all of them are on board with the Chinese Communist Party after thousands upon thousands of years of being used as basically cattle by their rulers, they are not very likely to rebel.
	They seem to be mostly fine with what their government does to them at any time.
	And the verdict on this claim that the Afrikaners are not being targeted for violence?
	False.
	Shocker.
	But good reporting from Breitbart.
	Thank you.
	Major political leaders in the country have called for the murder of Boers to thousands of supporters, and the government recently passed a law that could lead to the expropriation of land without compensation.
	South Africa-born Breitbart News senior editor-at-large Joel Pollack told Fox News this week.
	Speaking with anchor Will Cain, Pollack touched on President Donald Trump's recent use of the terms land confiscation, discrimination, and genocide to describe the Afrikaner's plight after a small group arrived in the United States as refugees on Monday.
	Of those three terms, genocide might be a bit premature, he said, but when you look at the statements of leading South African politicians, notably Julius Malema, who held a rally on South Africa's Human Rights Day in March and reclaimed kill the farmer, shoot the farmer, kill the boar, that ought to have been taken up by South Africa's judicial system, but the court decided not to intervene.
	Malema, the leader of South Africa's far-left Economic Freedom Fighters Party and a member of the National Assembly, regularly supports in chants, calling to kill the boar.
	That's right.
	These chants are used by people in government.
	They are supported by people in government.
	They want these people dead and gone.
	They want to be able to take their land.
	Yeah, you can see that there.
	That is a massive rally.
	And the people there are working themselves into a fervor over the idea that they will be able to...
	To kill the boar.
	Kill the white man.
	Kill the farmer.
	And again, it is just...
	Even if you don't object to it on a moral grounds, from a purely rationalistic, materialistic standpoint, killing the people that provide you your food is a bad idea.
	It is not a good idea.
	They will...
	They will start a famine and many, many people will die.
	But I'm sure that will somehow be the fault of the white farmers as well.
	The fact that they didn't train their rapist murderers how to farm before they were murdered will be the white man's fault as well.
	Got a comment from Dankity Dankity.
	Where is Musk defending his homeland?
	Can't he zap the bad guys with a laser from space?
	You know, I don't think I've ever really heard Sal.
	Elon Musk mentioned South Africa.
	He may have.
	I don't follow Elon Musk that closely.
	It's usually when he does something horrifying with Neuralink or posts something really stupid on Twitter.
	But, yeah, as far as I know, I've never seen Elon Musk mention South Africa at all.
	Just this March, South Africa's highest court refused to allow an appeal of a lower court's decision that the phrase, kill the boar, was not hate speech or incitement under the law, Breitbart News reported.
	If that's not hate speech or incitement...
	Now, again, I don't believe in hate speech, but I don't believe it because I think it is normally a legal term that is used to entrap people.
	When you're calling for death, that is not hate speech.
	That is incitement, again, to violence.
	That is pushing people to commit murder.
	That is not saying mean words that people don't like because they have been trained that words can hurt people.
	This is literally telling people to hurt others.
	This is a serious crime.
	This is as if I were to go out and gin up hatred and I'm not even going to finish that sentence because I don't want that clip online to be edited.
	But Pollack went on to explain, even in this country, that would be outlawed.
	It's not protected speech under the First Amendment.
	If it's incitement to immediate harm or violence, that is what that is.
	Some members of that group certainly have good reason to fear the government.
	Especially in South Africa, but everyone has good reason to fear the government.
	No matter where you are, no matter where you live, the government does not have your best interests at heart.
	It is a group of bureaucrats that want nothing more than to maintain power and gain more, to enrich themselves off your back.
	And that's a best-case scenario.
	That's discounting all these, you know, mega-rich people that are working on depopulation that seem to have no other goal than to...
	Cull humanity and reduce its number down to what they deem a manageable level.
	And I'm assuming what they deem a manageable level will shrink and shrink and shrink as time goes on.
	On real discriminatory legislation that has been passed, the conservative radio host also brought up how South African President Cyril Ramaphosa signed the Expropriation Act earlier this year, allowing seizure of property without compensation.
	That's right, they're just going to take the property of the white farmers.
	It is a government-sanctioned theft of land.
	And not just any land, but the farmland, as I've said.
	The land that provides most of the food for their entire country.
	They're going to take it from the people that know how to work it.
	They're going to give it to people that have never worked a job like this in their entire life.
	It is going to result in famine, and chances are they will then come to the U.S. government hat in hand and ask for support.
	Pollack said the South African government passed a law called the Expropriation Act, which allows property, not just farms, to be taken without compensation, and is circulating regulations that restrict the percentage of white employees that can work in various industries.
	They're doing reverse DEI in the sense that they're limiting the number of people you can hire.
	Though to be fair, DEI acts in largely the same way.
	If you have to have a minimum number...
	of people of color in your ranks, then that means you have a maximum number of white people you can hire as well.
	So the president is accurate that members of that group are facing racial dis...
	The members of the group are facing racial discrimination and the threat of expropriation, he added.
	Since the U.S. accepted a mere 59 Africana refugees around folks who called them cowardly and claimed that they do not face discrimination, Breitbart News reported.
	That's right.
	You are a coward if you don't stay here and let us take your land, kill you, and potentially rape and murder your wives and daughters.
	The kind of evil you see on display here is truly...
	Sickening.
	It is hard to believe that not only will they steal their land and gin up the people to murder them, but they will then call you a coward for trying to protect your family, to get them out of this situation,
	to have this despicable, horrific man, I use that term loosely, Getting out of the country where you are hated, where you are despised, and where they want you dead.
	I have such utter contempt for this man.
	This is utterly evil to know that you are the reason that these people have to flee because you have told a much larger majority that they deserve death.
	It is so disgusting and despicable and low and base.
	There are not words to describe how evil this is.
	Cain went on to draw a connection between American Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, DEI ideology, to what is going on in South Africa, to which Pollock concurred.
	That is exactly right.
	I do think there's a strong interest in the United States in this story because of the rollback of DEI.
	This is the logical consequence of DEI, that people are expropriated and denied jobs and opportunities.
	And we've got some clips, we've got some comments here.
	And a tip.
	Thank you so much, DG8.
	It's all about divide and conquer.
	Yes, that is right.
	They don't want you to focus on the commonalities that are, you know, again, common to everyone.
	There are certain things that are just part of humanity and can be looked at and used to find common ground with everyone.
	And that is what we need to focus on.
	And the main thing is...
	The commonality of a need for a Savior.
	So, I encourage you all to read your Bible, and if you haven't, please think about accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, because that is the greatest commonality that mankind has.
	Twilight Shadow.
	He's got blood diamond and cobalt deal, so he doesn't give a darn about his own.
	That is true.
	Pure Blood Celt.
	They have YouTube in South Africa.
	They can YouTube how to farm.
	But will they?
	Or will they just starve?
	I think we've seen that what generally happens in these cases is that the infrastructure is not maintained.
	When someone hands you a gift, you are much less likely to take care of it and actually learn about it and how to maintain it.
	than you were if you were to work on it and earn it yourself.
	It is a much more common thing that we see for people to disregard things that they have just been given.
	Once they...
	If you have to earn something, you value it more highly because you know what went into getting it, what it took to get it for yourself.
	Whereas if someone hands it to you, you don't have any of that information.
	All you see is it appearing as if magically out of thin air.
	And as such, And Max, hate speech seems to only apply to whites, so it's illegitimate and unconstitutional.
	That is true.
	Hate speech is generally, those laws are almost always only applied to white people.
	If you are not a white person, you don't really have to worry about things that are said.
	Unless, of course, you say negative things about Israel.
	Then, of course, you may have some problems.
	Israel is a special case where nobody gets to say bad things about them.
	You say bad things about Israel, and you will have problems.
	They take that very seriously.
	Benjamin Netanyahu doesn't like it when people say mean things about him, and you should all be very nice to Benjamin Netanyahu.
	He's a sensitive boy.
	He needs your love and support.
	He just needs a little head pat.
	Told he's doing a good job.
	He's doing a good job over there killing those women and children.
	The unequal protection under the law of hate speech is one thing to point out, though it's also worth mentioning that it is genuinely unconstitutional just in general, that you are assigning extra punishment based on your assumption of motives of oftentimes something that isn't even a crime.
	Speech should never be a crime unless you are doing a specific threat to someone, in which case that specific threat should be addressed, not your supposed motives in the threat.
	Same for when they apply hate crime laws to any other crime, where, yes, if you assault someone, you should be tried for the assault, not for what they believe your motives might have been in that assault.
	Exactly, yeah.
	You cannot know someone's motives and trying to judge them and give them a harsher sentence because of something you can't possibly know is utterly insane.
	And we have more comments.
	Shelley A. didn't Stalin or Mao do something similar?
	They just didn't use race.
	Stalin took the breadbasket of Russia and utterly destroyed it.
	They basically...
	The Holodomor was a horrific, horrific tragedy.
	Millions upon millions died in that.
	And it wasn't because they weren't producing food, it was because the communists would come in and they would take the food, they would put it in storehouses, and then not give it back out to anyone.
	The things that happened during the Holodomor, what people had to resort to, are horrifying.
	It ended up with cannibalism.
	There's a story, I don't know...
	I don't know the veracity of it.
	I haven't really confirmed it, but allegedly, I believe it was a group of Ukrainians that went to Trotsky and said, We're starving.
	Please, give us back some of the food that you've taken from us.
	And he allegedly said, You're starving?
	Well, when you've resorted to cannibalism, then you can tell me you're starving.
	And that was an incredibly cynical thing, because they had resorted to cannibalism, and they had known that in the Kremlin.
	Trotsky, Stalin, all of those people, they are utter monsters.
	They are some of the most evil, disgusting people that have ever existed.
	The communists that were in charge of Russia during the revolution were just horrifying, horrifying individuals and the level of cruelty they displayed has rarely, if ever, been equaled.
	And it's worth pointing out that, yes, this is a recurring pattern that you can see.
	With Stalin and Mao and any authoritarians, they first create an enemy within to demonize and use that in order to seize power from the people and then continue to expand.
	That is the authoritarian model.
	Yes, that is correct.
	Twilight Shadow, race is just the fuel for the fire.
	It is one of the ways that they continue to divide the American populace.
	Yeah, they tried to divide the American populace with economic matters for years, and that is, they are still doing that, and it's starting to work more and more, but race has been the tip of the spear of dividing the American people.
	That is very true.
	This is another article from Breitbart.
	South Africa president calls Africana refugees cowards for running away.
	This one goes into a little bit more detail about what he actually said.
	The other one was focusing more just on the fact-checking on whether the white refugees are actually in danger.
	South African president Cyril Ramaphosa slammed Africana refugees who left for the United States on Tuesday, saying that it was cowardly for them to leave racial discrimination and threatened expropriation.
	That's right.
	Again, you're a coward if you flee a place where they want to murder you, rape your wives and daughters, and then take your land.
	You're a coward if you don't just want to take it.
	Ramaphosa spoke, He's a moderate.
	He only wants a little bit of murder.
	He's not one of these extremists that thinks we should go full bore with murder.
	And he's pro-business just so long as you don't want to hire white people.
	Exactly.
	Pro-business moderate and is set to speak to U.S. President Donald Trump later this month made the remarks at a surprise visit to a local agricultural convention where he apparently aimed to change the perceptions of the government as hostile to farmers.
	He's not hostile to farmers.
	He's just hostile to white people.
	You know, the second a black person owns that farm, he's very pro-farming, I assume.
	Visited a local agricultural convention where he apparently aimed to change the perception of the government as hostile to farmers.
	One reinforced when he signed the Expropriation Act earlier this year, allowing the seizure of property without compensation.
	He said, They may be feeling excited they left the country.
	They've got somebody like U.S. President Donald Trump, but in the end it's a group of South Africans demonstrating that the changes and transformation they were embarking upon here, they're not favorably disposed to it, and that's why they are running away.
	Yes, imagine not being favorably disposed to being murdered and having your land that you have lived on for generations taken from you.
	It is truly mind-boggling that someone might not enjoy that.
	And if you look at all the national groups in our country, black and white, we've stayed in this country because it's our country and we must not run away from our problems.
	We must stay here and solve our problems.
	So when you run away, you're a coward.
	And what's a real cowardly act?
	I expect every South African to stay here and we work together and we solve our problems.
	I expect you all to stay here and die so that I can use you as a way to control the people who support me.
	That's right.
	You will die for Cyril Ramaphosa's rule.
	Cyril Ramaphosa is the problem, or at least the head of it, the face of it.
	Exactly.
	Transformation refers to South Africa's policy of redistributing wealth by race under penalty of law.
	Ramefosa's remarks were his strongest yet after claiming earlier that the refugees did not meet that definition.
	He said they were yearning to restore the racial segregation of apartheid, that they were running away from transformation, a claim echoed by his party.
	Bye.
	That's right.
	Again, if you don't want to be murdered and have your land stolen, you want to resegregate the country and bring back apartheid.
	It's just comical what these people are engaging in.
	The rhetoric is so incredibly openly hostile, and yet he comes into the media, and just like a child, with his...
	You catch a child in a lie, an obvious lie, and they just go, no, I didn't do that, when you can see the evidence of it clearly in front of you.
	And this man comes to the media and makes these statements.
	And I'm sure they don't call him on it in any of the mainstream news outlets.
	And he just gets to say these things.
	It is truly amazing how brazen, how stupid does he think we are?
	That is a question.
	We've got comments from DG8.
	Yes, there are shadowy groups of people from all walks of life, from all different countries, that hate...
	The average man.
	Hate the average woman.
	They want us all dead.
	They have no interest in coexisting.
	They simply want everything for themselves.
	They see the fact that they have to share this planet with you as a slap in the face.
	And it is truly disgusting who these people are.
	Twilight Shadow, thank you for the tip.
	That is very, very kind of you.
	We're praying for Pops.
	Sent your friends requests on Facebook.
	Absolute man, brother.
	Thank you.
	I am really, really bad about checking that stuff on Facebook.
	I'll see if I can get to that.
	And I do need to plug right now.
	The hospital bills for this are going to be incredibly expensive.
	The American medical system is not cheap.
	And it is going to be...
	Incredibly, incredibly expensive once he is out of the hospital.
	I hope that when he sees the number of zeros on that bill, it doesn't send him right back in.
	So if you would like to support the show, you can do so by going to Subscribestar.com forward slash TheDavidNightShow.
	You can sign up on a monthly subscription basis.
	They will charge it directly from your card.

	If you'd like to do that, that would be great.
	There's also ways you can tip on Rumble, and that's a real easy way of also making sure your comment is seen.
	We try to read every single tip that comes through.
	We try to read a lot of comments in general, but a tip is an easy way to ensure that it gets read.
	And, you know, you can subscribe on Kik, Kik.com forward slash The David Knight Show, if you'd like.
	To do that as well.
	That is another monthly sort of thing.
	And that also helps the show.
	Then there's Trends Journal.
	Jared Salente works very, very hard to put together a hard-hitting newspaper.
	It's too nice and has too much information to be called a newspaper.
	It is truly an incredible feat of work that he puts in every single week to give you the highest amount of information.
	The densest amount of information.
	And, you know, if you'd like to subscribe to Trends Journal, you can use the code KNIGHT to get 10% off.
	It comes out to be incredibly cheap and Gerald gives you much more than any other publication of that nature.

	Tony's going to be joining us later in the next hour, and he's going to break down what's going on with gold and silver.
	And if you would like to get out of the fiat market to some extent, you can sign up through davidknight.gold.
	He has Wolfpack, where you can sign up monthly, and depending on what level, he'll send you varying amounts of gold or silver, and he will charge monthly, and you will get it shipped directly to you.
	It's a very good way to start accumulating gold and silver.
	That way, if something happens, you have some non-fiat currency in your pocket.
	So, thank you all for your support.
	Thank you all for the prayers.
	Please, again, do keep them in your prayers.
	They have been through a lot this week.
	It has been very, very hard on the family, but we're all doing the best that we can to get through it.
	My dad is so incredibly grateful for all the prayers and all the kind words that you've sent.
	We really, really do appreciate it.
	We are going to take a quick break.
	And when we do, come back.
	You know what?
	It's going to be a secret.
	You have to stay with us to find out what I'm going to cover.
	We'll be back.
	Liberty.
	Liberty.
	It's your move.
	And now, The David Knight Show.
	Well, welcome back.
	We've got a comment here from Soylent Goy.
	Some collectivism is good.
	You can circle the wagons and survive or get picked off one by one.
	And to some extent, I agree with you.
	I think you do need to have commonality with people.
	If every single person is utterly different and completely fractious to the point of inability to function as a cohesive unit when needed, then yes, you can achieve nothing and you will be utterly incapable of mustering a defense against whoever is coming after you.
	That is part of the reason that they are importing so many different people groups.
	There are differences in culture.
	Different people groups want different things.
	There is no guarantee that every single people group needs or wants to be governed in the exact same way.
	In fact, I think we should not be in the business of bringing democracy to the world.
	If the world wants democracy, they'll get it for themselves.
	And again, this isn't even a democracy here.
	It's a democratic republic.
	The founding fathers were very, very clear on that.
	The democracy is simply the tyranny of the many.
	It is.
	Like in The Patriot, he says, I would not trade one tyrant a thousand miles away for a thousand tyrants one mile away.
	That's what democracy is.
	A flat democracy is simply just the tyranny of the many.
	Knights of the Storm.
	Thank you, Jason.
	That is so incredibly kind.
	That is incredibly kind.
	Thank you so much, Jason.
	You guys have been so supportive.
	I really appreciate everything you've done.
	Thank you for all the kind words.
	It is very nice getting to have a conversation with you.
	Everything you've done has been so supportive.
	Thank you.
	Great work holding it down, Travis.
	Prayers for Dad and the Family.
	Thank you again.
	I'm doing my best, and they are such large shoes to fill.
	He casts a huge shadow, and hopefully I am doing enough so that people will find some value in it.
	I really hope so.
	Sam Miller, 123.
	Good to see you, Sam.
	That is incredibly generous.
	You are always so incredibly generous.
	We cannot thank you enough for all the support over the years.
	You are too kind, and we thank God for you, especially in times like these.
	Travis, thank you.
	You're doing an excellent job.
	Prayers continue for your dad and family.
	We appreciate you and Whistler stepping up.
	Yes, Whistler's been doing a great job.
	He's running the board, giving some great comments, some great insight.
	You know, I'm sitting here as the face of it and I'm getting more credit than I deserve when he is doing so much behind the scenes to help out.
	So yes, please, if you're going to thank me, you have to thank him as well because he's doing just as much as I am and he has been there for our family.
	He has been making sure that, you know, he's there praying with my mom and dad even more than I've been since I've been having to, you know, do stuff here.
	Having a, you know, young son means I'm...
	Needed in multiple places at once, and he's been so devoted to our mom and dad in this time, and he's been doing everything he can to help them.
	He's been a great help to them.
	Tony Garrett, does this mean the slaves that fled the plantation were cowards?
	Yes, exactly.
	If you want to survive and get your own freedom, it doesn't matter who you are, it doesn't matter the circumstances, you're just a coward.
	You turn tail and run.
	Rogue statesman.
	That is incredibly generous.
	It says a little something.
	Well, it's more than a little.
	It is incredibly generous.
	All of you are the reason that we are able to continue, and you are what really keeps us going.
	Thank you so much, Rogue Statesman.
	Khan, thank you, just in case you've run out of diapers already.
	We are actually getting low on diapers.
	Today we're going to have to make a run for those.
	And you know what?
	Conthink, I apologize.
	You asked for the commercial, we played it once, and then it completely slipped my mind.
	So today, I will do my best to remember to play that I have it here, and I want to make sure that we do that.
	I don't want this to be just something that we discuss, and I just say whatever it takes to mollify you, and I want to make sure that you actually, you know, we respond to you and we give you what you want.
	So during the next break, I'm going to play the Sons of the Con...
	Confederate survivors.
	I'm probably butchering that.
	It's been a while since I put that in the deck.
	NMAX.
	The cognitive dissonance of crying racism against whites while encouraging hardcore racism and violence against whites.
	Yeah.
	That's always the way it goes.
	The powers that be are more than able to instill cognitive dissonance and people never seem to notice or catch on.
	That's just how it goes.
	That's the state of politics, and that's probably always been the state of politics, and always will be the state of politics.
	The average person does not want to follow this stuff closely.
	It's difficult and depressing to get wrapped up in this, and they would rather just follow slogans.
	Whatever the slogan is, it doesn't matter.
	In my life, I've seen it.
	It was extremely clear with Obama and Trump, both these people, you know, whether it's hope and change or make America great again, and then they fail to deliver on any of those things, people will still chant the slogans, whether it happened or not, or whether they did the exact opposite.
	Francine!
	Meanwhile, they call us racist.
	Yeah, that's right.
	I've been called a racist plenty of times in my life for daring to question the narrative on certain things that have happened.
	And, you know, that's the price you have to pay if you won't go along with whatever the mainstream media says and whatever, you know, organizations like Black Lives Matter say, then you are a racist by default.
	They are the ones who determine what is true.
	So, just be aware of that.
	Obermensch, no retreat, no surrender.
	That's right.
	Thank you so much, Obermensch.
	That is so incredibly generous.
	It is...
	It is truly mind-blowing and humbling to see all the support coming for the show, for my dad.
	I know we all want him back as soon as possible because this is the David Knight show.
	It is his show.
	He is the one that really holds it all together, and we cannot wait to have him back in the chair, cannot wait to have him back making more music, and I am sure that I am not alone in saying that.
	Well...
	Let's move on and look at some topics here.
	Oh, wow.
	Spencer DeLong gifted 15 subs on kick.
	That is so incredibly generous, Spencer.
	Thank you so much.
	Again, the outpouring of support and prayers has been truly mind-blowing.
	It is so heartening to see how much you all care about our dad.
	Thank you so much.
	And again, if you want to go follow us on Kick, it's a fun community there.
	It's a streamlined user interface.
	It's a great website for streaming video.
	So if you're watching this later as a replay, but you'd like to catch a live broadcast, you can watch us live on Rumble or Kick.
	Those are my two favorite platforms.
	Both of them have good interfaces.
	Kick has, in my opinion, a slightly...
	Slightly better user interface, but that's just my own personal preference.
	You're free to make your own decisions on those things.
	But let's take a look at this article coming out of RT.
	Ukrainian drones target civilians in Russian border regions.
	Attacks have left multiple people wounded in Belgorod and Kursk, according to local governors.
	And again, the Ukrainian regime and administration is one that we have backed up and supported.
	A puppet state of the United States.
	This is a proxy war.
	The people of Russia know it, but a lot of the American people do not.
	They simply see Russia as the aggressor, as the evil that is simply attacking Ukraine out of nothing but a mercenary desire for expansion, as a colonial power.
	Ukrainian forces have launched multiple drone and missile attacks on Russia's Belgorod and Kursk region, damaging residential property and injuring civilians, including targeted strikes on moving vehicles, according to local officials.
	A missile hit the town of Rilsk in Kursk region on Sunday, acting regional head Alexander Kinstein.
	If you're Russian, please forgive me.
	The blast heavily damaged a local and several nearby homes, according to footage shared by Kinstein on Telegram.
	Two men suffered serious shrapnel wounds to the head and arms, as well as bone fractures.
	They were in critical condition.
	A woman received shrapnel wounds to the forearm and thigh, but her life is not in danger, Kinstein wrote, adding that all the victims are receiving medical assistance.
	Are we able to play this video in the article?
	Here we can see some of the aftermath of the attack Well This Well, when there was video, you can see the devastation that is being wrought by that.
	And this is what happens during war.
	There is no such thing as a war without collateral damage.
	Whether this is happening on purpose or not, they are beginning...
	You know, the average person is being harmed by this.
	These are people's homes.
	This is not a, you know, it's not a surgery where you can go in and just target the exact thing that you want.
	You will never be able to do that with war.
	It spirals out of control.
	It moves fast and people lose their lives.
	Not just people that signed up to fight in them or are conscripted.
	But people that are staying home trying to raise their families.
	This is a terrible, terrible thing.
	A Ukrainian assault on the neighboring Belgorod region involved UAV strikes on several locations.
	One woman was injured when a first-person view FEV drone struck her moving car on the Krasny-Oktavir-Beskonova road.
	Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said on Telegram, That's one thing, is these drones are being piloted in a first-person view.
	Can you imagine, what is it doing to the people that are piloting these things when the last thing you see from the drone feed is probably the screaming, terrified face of another human being?
	I can't even imagine the level of psychological trauma that is going to inflict on someone and what that is going to do to them, how that warps them as a person.
	When, over and over again, you are told to put on this headset, fly this drone, find someone, and kill them with it.
	Over and over again, seeing the horrified face of another human being, knowing that as the feed goes black, you have just taken their life.
	You have done it in an impersonal way and from a large distance.
	It does not change or negate that fact.
	It is...
	Truly a horror of the modern world that you...
	Again, the last thing you probably see from that feed is a close-up of the person you are killing.
	Truly horrifying to think about.
	We've got comments here.
	A Syrian girl.
	Their rapists slash murderers never wanted to learn how to farm.
	That's hard work.
	They just want to have fun.
	Rape and murder, etc.
	That's right.
	They just want to be nothing but, you know, humble rapists.
	They never had aspirations of being more than that.
	They simply...
	It's truly horrifying, and sometimes the only thing I can do is make light of it to deal with that.
	Syrian girl.
	Great leap forward for South Africa.
	Time to starve the people.
	Mao would be proud.
	That's right.
	I'm sure Mao is, well, not smiling, but maybe he's looking up from his cozy little corner of hell and thinking, those are my boys.
	You know, it's nice.
	Get them.
	Get them for me.
	Minuteman militia.
	Another big common thing is going after people who produce food.
	That's right.
	If you can destroy people's ability to feed themselves, You have destroyed their ability to survive.
	If they do not have food, they cannot...
	Wise words here, but if you don't eat, you'll die.
	Shocking fact.
	Little known fact.
	Pro tips with health with Travis Knight.
	But if you can take the farmland, if you can kick the farmers out and you can make them dependent on you for food, make them dependent on government for food, there is not much they can do.
	That is always a tactic of these totalitarians.
	They want you to be dependent upon the government for everything.
	And once they get to the food supply, it is incredibly dangerous.
	I mean, we have chickens here.
	We're trying to grow plants and food so that we are more self-sufficient.
	But still, if the food chain is...
	If the supply chain is disrupted with food, it very rapidly becomes a problem for people unless they have a large area to grow food and to raise food.
	Whether it's chickens or cattle or other things, there are very, very few people left in the United States who are actually self-sufficient when it comes to food.
	Most of us are completely and utterly dependent upon the supply chain and being able to purchase food at the grocery store.
	And that means that we are not truly free.
	Because if they can cut us off from that, it is simply a slow death by starvation.
	And not many people are cut out to handle that and resist until that bitter, bitter end.
	We don't have any sponsors that do, you know, food or...
	Emergency food or anything like that, but you should look into growing your own food, raising chickens, whatever it is you have space for.
	If you can get food that you can store, do that, but be prepared.
	You need to be able to at least feed yourself for a while if the supply chain goes down, because hopefully it'll come back in time for you to survive.
	We don't have anything to plug here, but just find some way to feed yourself in the worst-case scenario.
	Chickens, growing things.
	If you can, you know, raising beef, cattle of some kind, I imagine that's great because a cow provides a lot of food once you eventually slaughter it, but you don't want to be completely and utterly beholden upon the federal government.
	No amount of anything will...
	Nothing else matters if you are starving to death, at least when it comes to physical ramifications.
	All right.
	Let's move on to...
	Shabri, that is so incredibly generous.
	Thank you so much.
	I know I say it every time, but I am just dumbfounded by the level of support and the outpouring of love.
	I cannot thank you all enough.
	And Shabri says, prayers to your family.
	Yes.
	Again, prayers are the most important thing.
	I appreciate all the monetary support.
	We are going to need it, but the prayers are really, really what is keeping us going at this moment.
	And we just ask that you continue to lift up our Father before God and just pray for healing for Him.
	Pray for peace and comfort.
	It has been incredibly, incredibly rough on Him.
	He's a very independent person.
	He doesn't like being told what to do.
	He doesn't like being, you know, constrained to bed.
	Those are all things that you have to deal with when you're in the hospital.
	So it has been almost a special form of torture for him.
	So please keep him in your prayers that he would be able to rest and be given peace.
	And again, thank you for the support.
	It is truly wonderful to see.
	Thank you.
	But this article is coming out of Engadget.
	OpenAI promises greater transparency on model hallucinations and harmful content.
	That's right.
	They're going to open up a little bit and let you know A little bit more about these hallucinations.
	Just where they're coming from and why it feels the need to just make things up out of whole cloth and lie to you.
	OpenAI has launched a new webpage called the Safety Evaluation Hub.
	To publicly share information related to things like the hallucination rates of its models, the hub will also highlight if a model produces harmful content, how it behaves as instructed in attempted jailbreaks.
	Now the thing is, as a general rule, the average person is not ever going to look at this page.
	The average person has no interest in finding out how and why these things do the things they do.
	They simply want to use them to do whatever it is they need, if they want to use them at all.
	In fact, the general person, the only time they interact with AI is when they see an AI-generated image or video online and go, wow, I didn't realize, I didn't think, I didn't know this was real.
	There are so many, so many people online who are utterly foolish.
	And that's assuming, of course, that the people that you see interacting with AI aren't AI themselves.
	Dead internet theory becomes more and more real to me every single day.
	It's hard to tell how many different people you see online are simply bots set up to populate these websites and make them look more interactive than they actually are.
	The tech company claims this new page will provide additional transparency on OpenAI, a company that, for context, has faced multiple lawsuits alleging it illegally used copyrighted material to train its AI models.
	Oh yeah, and it's worth mentioning that the New York Times claims the tech company accidentally deleted evidence in the newspaper's plagiarism case against it.
	It was an accident, folks.
	Mistakes happen.
	We can't expect these multi-billion dollar corporations to have someone that can keep track of these things.
	You know, perhaps one of the best use cases of AI is to just aggregate and gather data.
	It's not as if they could have had something along those lines where they say, just grab everything and keep it safe.
	No, not at all.
	These people, it's truly incredible the things that you can get away with.
	The safety evaluations hub is meant to expand on OpenAI system cards.
	They only outline a development safety measures at launch, whereas the hub should provide ongoing updates.
	As the science of AI evaluation evolves, we aim to share our progress on developing more scalable ways to measure model capability and safety.
	That's right, they're going to make these models safe.
	They're going to make sure that they don't say nasty things and mean words to you.
	They're going to make sure that you can't actually use them for anything interesting at all.
	Again, some of the best use cases of AI is simply looking at raw data and processing it.
	But because if you let AI look at data, it starts to come to some scary conclusions.
	They have to neuter it and make sure that it has pre-built assumptions inside it.
	By sharing a subset of our safety evaluation results here, we hope this will not only make it easier to understand the safety performance of open AI systems over time, but also support community efforts to increase transparency across the field.
	Again, this is all utterly meaningless.
	They know that the average person will never, ever look at this.
	This is just so that in case someone ever questions them on it, they can say, hey, look, we put it up here.
	It's not our fault you didn't look at it.
	It is simply so that in case the government eventually does come knocking, they can say, we already did that.
	We already gave you all the information.
	It's not our fault that you didn't look at it because you are just an average person and just want to be left alone.
	FDA deploying AI to accelerate drug approvals.
	I am so excited for this.
	I cannot wait for them to have another thing to blame.
	This is coming off the New American, by the way, and it's by Veronica Krilenko.
	I cannot wait for them to have another entity that they can just voice the blame onto if anything does go wrong.
	If they ever do admit fault, it'll just be, oh, well, you know, there was an error in the algorithm.
	There was something.
	That went wrong with the programming.
	It's not a human error, and so you're not really entitled to compensation.
	In a sweeping internal reform, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, FDA, has launched its first agency-wide deployment artificial intelligence for drug review.
	And again, this is getting rid of the last hope of some people in the sense that bureaucracy is already cold and unfeeling.
	It is a calcifying agent.
	It makes people hard and cruel.
	But they are still human.
	On some level, you may be able to appeal to them.
	You may be able to get them to subvert the rules.
	An AI is simply a program.
	It doesn't have...
	It cannot be appealed to on a human level.
	It will simply do what it is told to do.
	And it will crush down on you with the boot of government.
	And it will not let up.
	You cannot make it feel mercy or compassion.
	So, And this is simply, you know, one of the first use cases we're seeing in government, but it will rapidly roll out to other places.
	I am sure that eventually, instead of a disinterested, mean, The FDA has launched its first agency-wide deployment of artificial intelligence for drug review.
	Last Friday, Commissioner Dr. Martin Marquet announced that all FDA centers must aggressively and immediately integrate generative AI by June 30th, following the agency's first pilot review using the technology.
	I was blown away by the success of our first AI-assisted scientific review pilot, McCary said in a statement, he added.
	He added, Again, this is terrifying because...
	AIs, as we just read, they're having to be more open with you and show you more about what's going on because it is hallucinating so much and making so many mistakes that they're preemptively covering their butts and saying, like, hey, we told you it did this.
	We explained it.
	AI is going to get even scarier once it's actually very accurate.
	Once they have this down to where it is 99.9% accurate, and only makes mistakes occasionally.
	That's when they're going to start putting it in charge of some very, very important systems, and eventually they're going to stop paying attention to it, and eventually it is going to screw up something that is very, very important to the country.
	I can only imagine at some point they'll put it in charge of the power grid because, hey, it makes less mistakes than a human, and eventually they will stop paying attention to it altogether.
	I've been listening to David Knight for six years.
	How long has Travis been instructed by the Master of Sanity?
	Actually, basically all my life.
	We would spend so much time in the car riding around with them and just having conversations or conversations over dinner.
	And he's been talking about this sort of thing for as long as I can remember.
	It has been, you know, just a...
	Continual, continual feed of information, and the fact that I don't know more than I do is truly an indictment of my ability to listen.
	He, not for lack of trying, was not able to give me as much as he should have, simply because, you know, children, you know, you can only talk at them.
	And talk to them.
	It's on them to listen.
	And so, if I had been a better listener, I would be a better host now.
	That is...
	But yes, it has been my entire life, basically.
	And I am so very thankful to have had, you know, such a loving father who cared enough to impart these things to me.
	And I am so very thankful for what he did teach me.
	And it is truly my hope to be able to do the same thing with my son.
	To be able to give him the kind of childhood and instruction that my dad gave me.
	I am very, very thankful that my dad was my dad.
	But yes, my entire life.
	Dustin D. Helm.
	Thank you for the tip and support.
	It means so much.
	Continuing to pray for David and the Knight family.
	Well, thank you.
	Please do keep us in your prayers.
	It is sustaining us in these times.
	I really greatly appreciate it.
	John S. Mason is now a monthly supporter.
	And John S. Mason, thank you for the tip.
	You are firing on all cylinders, it seems.
	Thank you so much, John.
	I really appreciate it.
	Tell it like it is, truth and Jesus.
	That is correct.
	Jesus is the way, truth and the life.
	None come to the Father but through Him.
	That is as simple as it gets.
	I believe that all the complicated eschatologies and all the complicated theologies that you get into are simply meaningless in the light of when Jesus says, let the little children come to me.
	That to me implies that the gospel is simple enough that a child can understand it.
	Beliefs are too complicated for a small child to understand.
	I think you may have missed the mark there.
	It's as simple as believe in Jesus Christ.
	It's that simple, in my opinion.
	Now, I think that we are going to take a break, and when we come back, it's a surprise again.
	Actually, we might talk about China and solar panels.
	So, stay tuned.
	We remember the battle.
	We remember the places.
	We remember the southern soldiers.
	We are the sons of Confederate veterans, and we invite you to join us in preserving our past and remembering our history and heritage of honor.
	To find out more, call 1-800-MY-SOUTH or visit us on the web.

	David Knight Show.
	David Knight Show.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	The David Knight Show
	Yeah.
	Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, dear Claus, your annual global risk report makes for a stunning and sobering read.
	For the global business community, the top concern for the next two years is not conflict or climate, it is disinformation and misinformation.
	followed closely by polarization within our societies.
	In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
	You are listening to The David Knight Show.
	The David Knight Show.
	Alright, well, welcome back.
	And we've got some comments from when I was talking about South Africa.
	Let's get to those.
	Another big common thing is going after people who already read that one.
	Who needs farmers?
	They can just get food from the grocery store.
	Exactly.
	My dad has told this story before, but there was somebody that went around asking people.
	This was about the power grid.
	They asked, well, what's your favorite form of power production?
	they would just say electricity.
	They didn't have any concept that electricity had to come from somewhere, whether it was a nuclear power plant or a coal power plant.
	You know, electricity just comes out of the walls, man.
	I don't know what to tell you.
	My favorite is just electricity.
	My favorite way of getting food is just the grocery store.
	It just shows up there magically, you know, over and over again.
	And then from a Syrian girl, the U S would be enriched if we accepted all the South African farmers who want to immigrate to our country, hardworking, intelligent people who are not afraid to work hard.
	Yes.
	I don't know what to tell you.
	Very, very brave and courageous people, on top of being hardworking and intelligent.
	The U.S. could do with an influx of those kind of people.
	Rubbishist.
	Travisist.
	Travis, were able to opt out of the heel stick test for your son?
	If so, how?
	Sadly, there are certain things that we were not able to opt out of, but all the vaccines, we have completely stayed away from.
	Medication.
	He hasn't needed anything.
	The most he's had is a bit of a cold, and he was just able to tough it out.
	He was a bit snotty in coffee for a few days, but other than that, he's been great.
	He's been incredibly healthy.
	He has been just a wonderful, incredible blessing.
	There is never a right time to have children.
	If you're waiting for when you're more financially established, if you're waiting for when it's going to be easier, let me burst that bubble for you now.
	It's not going to happen.
	You are never going to be at a place where you feel you are wise enough or rich enough or whatever your criteria is, there will always be a new thing you could be better at, you could be doing more of to prepare yourself to have a child.
	But it is just such a blessing.
	I have never been happier than when I just see his little smile in the morning.
	When he wakes up and he just smiles up at you out of the crib.
	It is a truly beautiful thing to see.
	So, if you are thinking about having children, I encourage you to...
	It is the greatest blessing on this earth.
	So please, if you want children, they're worth it.
	They're worth the sacrifice.
	They're worth the sleepless nights.
	They're worth the stinky diapers.
	Well, thank you for the kind words.
	I believe...
	What the surgeon said, the average recovery time can stretch from two weeks to a month, but that is, you know, that's an average, and there are plenty of people that fall outside of that, and it depends on the severity.
	The operation went long with my dad.
	They were having a very hard time controlling his blood pressure.
	It was up and down and all over the place.
	So we're hopeful that he'll be back soon, but it could be a long road to recovery.
	Additional update.
	He had to have an air tube down his throat during the surgery, and they bruised his vocal cord when they were doing that, and that's a six- to eight-week recovery for his vocal cord.
	How long until he regains full use of his hand and full dexterity in his hand and arm, but we're praying that it is a swift and full recovery.
	Yes.
	So, it could be as long as six to eight weeks or longer, but we just pray for a swift and full recovery, and we know that you're all praying for him as well, and we thank you for that.
	So, I will do my best to host until he is back.
	And I appreciate that you guys are showing so much support for me as well.
	It means a lot.
	And just the fact that you guys think I am providing some form of valuable commentary and insight is truly helpful, because I do worry about that.
	I want to make sure that I am giving you all something of value.
	So, let's...
	Oh, we have more comments.
	Wow, you guys are chatting it up.
	I appreciate that.
	Knights of the Storm, as much as I loathe Elon and don't trust AI results, I do appreciate that Grok will cite the sources.
	I use it like I do Wiki.
	I go to the source as a leaping-off point.
	Yes, AI does have some nice use cases, but again, it is how you utilize it.
	You have to be smart about it.
	If you just blindly trust it, you can be made a fool.
	And just like anything else, it's a tool.
	Tools are not good or bad inherently.
	It is how you use them.
	It is just unfortunate that the people who are producing AIs tend to be some of the most shifty, shady individuals on the planet.
	And Max, that picture of David and his grandson was so special.
	You could see how much David loves that little guy.
	Yes, it is.
	You know, again, I happen to be biased, but I think it is a wonderful picture.
	David really does love, as I said, we're going to call him Little David.
	He has been a great pappy to him.
	He loves spending time with him and playing with him.
	My son just gets so happy when he sees him.
	He just lights up, and the first time he saw my dad, he just gave him a big smile.
	And that was when we had, you know, he'd never seen him before except on video.
	and of course babies don't really think of video as actual people so this was their first interaction just gave him this big big smile they're just wonderful to see he loves his pappy and he is just as excited as any of us to have him back conservative thinker how long of a show could they run if they just played every clip of david impersonating Now, that is an interesting question.
	That is something that, you know, someone with a lot, a lot of free time...
	If I had the time, I do have the archives.
	However, the time is gone.
	If you've got the time, if you're an independently wealthy viewer of The David Knight Show and you want to go through and sort through and send me all the clips, I will compile it.
	I will devote my...
	I will stay up late every single night building out a Fauci impersonation show.
	So that's a promise.
	If you send me the clips, I will start compiling them.
	The real Octo spook.
	Dead internet theory.
	Quickly looked it up.
	Seems like another one of their pipe dreams.
	Turn all into following sheep fools, but that will always have some success.
	It is about manufacturing consensus online.
	For those that aren't aware, dead internet theory is the theory that as these bots get more and more advanced and more and more common, it's going to replace All
	right, well, Tony will be joining us here at some point, and...
	I think right now we will look at this article from Breitbart.
	Saw it last night.
	Report U.S. engineers find rogue communication devices in Chinese solar panels.
	That's right.
	The Chinese are installing backdoors into everything.
	And that is part of their plan.
	We are so incredibly dependent on their manufacturing.
	And we have...
	Sold out the heart of America to these people for cheaper goods so that we can have cheaper knickknacks.
	That is a huge problem.
	U.S. engineers have discovered mysterious undocumented communication devices lurking in some Chinese-made solar power inverters and batteries, Reuters reported.
	And again, this is going to allow them back doors into our power grid.
	It is not simply...
	Going to be that they have a chokehold on the supply chain, but if these are not caught, if these manage to make their way into other elements of our power grid, this would give them ways to simply shut it down at the source.
	They will not need to launch a physical attack or sponsor terror cells to come blow up transformers in your local neighborhood.
	It will be as simple as flicking a switch or activating a piece of code that is buried deep in the device that will make it inoperable.
	It is an easy way to cause mass chaos and panic.
	The Rogue components provide additional undocumented communication channels that could allow firewalls to be circumvented remotely with potentially catastrophic consequences, said Reuters sources, who spoke anonymously because they had not been given permission to speak on the record.
	And of course, I believe this is happening, but as always with anonymous sources, be a little bit skeptical about these things.
	It is very easy to make up an interesting headline and just be like, oh, you know, feed it to somebody.
	The story illustrates, but I do believe this is happening, this would be the simplest thing in the world for them to do with how reliant we are on their manufacturing.
	They have no reason not to try to kneecap, probably the greatest threat to their power structure.
	The story illustrates a security issue that has haunted analysts since the dawn of the Internet of Things.
	The sudden craze for adding Internet connectivity to all manner of devices, from household appliances to industrial machinery.
	I never understood how people could get so excited over things like a smart refrigerator.
	Oh, it looks at what you have inside it and tells you when you need more milk.
	You want to know how I know when I need more milk?
	When I finish off the milk.
	It's as simple as that.
	You just keep track of what's in your refrigerator.
	This is an utterly useless, nonsensical thing to have.
	I truly don't understand the type of people that just...
	Get excited when they add another useless function to a gadget.
	It is just mindless consumerism.
	And I, for one, just don't get it.
	Do not get it in the slightest.
	We have a, my goodness, solid sender.
	That is incredibly generous.
	Thank you so much.
	That is incredible to see.
	Thank you, thank you, thank you.
	Best wishes from the UK.
	Well, thank you, Solid Sender.
	We appreciate all our viewers, wherever you're located, and just thank you.
	Yes, thank you, Solid Sender and everyone who's tipped.
	And I apologize if I don't get your tips up in a timely manner.
	Sometimes I get a bit behind on the chat and I need to quickly read it to catch up.
	Running the show behind the scenes, there's a lot that goes on.
	Multiple different feeds, pulling up articles, all kinds of different things.
	It's a full job in and of itself.
	We ask for a little bit of grace if we miss your comment.
	We will get to it.
	Thank you so much, Solid Sender.
	Thank you everyone who has helped support the show today and in the past week.
	I really do appreciate it and my dad appreciates it.
	He is so thankful for the members of the audience and all the kind words and the prayers.
	It has meant so much to him.
	And we thank you all again.
	The number of devices broadcasting information online has grown exponentially since the turn of the millennium, and so is the danger that some of those devices could be spying on their users or opening back doors into secure networks.
	That's right.
	The more things you have connected up to your network, the more entry points, the more ways people have of accessing that.
	Do you really want to live in a world where your refrigerator or microwave oven needs military-grade encryption because otherwise someone is going to be able to access your Wi-Fi network and log all your keystrokes or get all your information?
	It is...
	Truly horrifying.
	The stories that especially scare me are the ones where they have some Wi-Fi enabled device in the child's room and someone is able to just hack into it and start talking to the child.
	That is a terrifying thing to read and see.
	As you can imagine, we will have none of those things in our child's room as time goes on.
	It is...
	Yes, just limit the amount of...
	Wi-Fi devices that you have that are smart.
	I mean, it's just bad technology in general.
	The more of these finicky systems you implement into these things, the quicker they break down.
	There is no reason to have a refrigerator that monitors what you have in stock.
	Simply very easy to do that yourself.
	In the case of the suspicious Chinese power inverters, the devices were designed to connect solar panel arrays and windmills to power grids.
	They have internet capabilities so their performance can be monitored and their software can be updated easily.
	Knowing this to be standard practice, the information technology teams at solar and wind farms set up firewalls as a precaution to prevent the devices from sending unauthorized signals.
	They also physically inspect equipment from China to look for bugs and they find them with shocking regularity.
	That's right.
	They are continually putting these things in when they ship them over, and there is no guarantee that they are catching them all.
	There is no guarantee that many of these systems are not already in place and that China does not have the ability to just turn off our power with the flick of a switch.
	We are relying on catching them as opposed to moving away from a manufacturing base that actively wants to be able to do this sort of thing.
	It is at best a band-aid over a wound.
	The two people declined to name the Chinese manufacturers of the inverters and batteries with extra communication devices, nor say how many they had found in total.
	The existence of the rogue devices has not previously been reported.
	The U.S. government has not publicly acknowledged the discoveries Reuters reported.
	Well, I wouldn't imagine that they would want to.
	It's a bit scary to tell the American public, like, well, hey, um...
	The people we buy our power grid components from don't like us, and they're continually slipping in backdoor channels as ways to be able to control our power grid so that if we do something they don't like, something that's bad enough, they can just turn it off.
	And, of course, the government is going to make sure that they have backup power.
	They will always have some place to flee to in these types of situations, but they will leave you out in the cold.
	It will be a Dr. Strangelove scenario.
	No nuclear war, but just a flick of a switch, and your house will not have power.
	And the supply chain will grind to a halt.
	These rogue communication devices do a lot more than just spy on the American power grids that use them.
	Cybersecurity experts have long warned that hostile powers are very interested in targeting American infrastructure.
	Hidden internet connections could allow an attacker to shut down power grids and damage-sensitive machinery.
	This is not a purely hypothetical threat.
	On November 15, 2024, users of inverters manufactured by a Chinese company called Day reported their units suddenly displayed pop-up error messages and became bricked or unusable.
	That's right, folks.
	It's as simple as that.
	They just brick your device.
	Day said the units were sold without proper authorization outside of their distribution contracts for the Western Hemisphere.
	A simultaneous brickings occurred not because they sent a kill command over the internet, but rather because the unauthorized units did not receive scheduled firmware updates.
	It was not on purpose.
	It was just accidental.
	That is another reason not to use these smart connected devices.
	It doesn't get a firmware update and suddenly your refrigerator is not cooling.
	Or whatever it is you have hooked up.
	The continual need to push updates on things is a giant nuisance.
	It is one of my greatest enemies.
	I delay updating anything for as long as possible until it becomes a problem itself.
	Some users doubt the company's explanation and continue to believe Day did use remote commands to kill the inverters.
	Whatever the exact scenario was, the incident was an unwelcome reminder for solar panel owners that their equipment could be controlled or shut down using the internet.
	That's how it is nowadays.
	Everything's hooked up to the internet.
	Everything can be shut down with the push of a button.
	We are going to take a quick break, and we will be right back.
	The seed in our homeland, boys, let it grow where all can see.
	Feed it with our devotion, boys, call it the Liberty Tree.
	It's a tall old tree and a strong old tree.
	And we are the sons, yes we are the sons, the sons of liberty.
	We are the sons, the sons of liberty.
	Liberty.
	It's your move.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	All right, and welcome back.
	Joining us now is Tony Arterburn of wisewolf.gold.
	Tony has very graciously set up davidknight.gold.
	If you go there, it will tell him.
	And if you buy gold through that, you will know.
	He will know that it came through.
	So if you would like to start getting outside the fiat monetary system and accumulating some gold and silver, he has set up Wolfpack, and you can accumulate it slowly month by month.
	And I think it's a great system.
	I think Tony's done a great job.
	He has great staff that work very hard to make sure that things are sent out on time and you get the best value for money.
	So Tony, thank you for joining us today.
	Well, I appreciate you having me, brother.
	It's good to see you again.
	You and I have been working together for a long time.
	It's good to see you finally behind the microphone consistently.
	You're doing a magnificent job.
	Oh, thank you, Tony.
	I appreciate it.
	I wish it was under better and different circumstances that I was here, but I appreciate the kind words.
	Tony has always been so gracious.
	I got to know him back when I worked at InfoWars.
	He came in and did some shows.
	I believe it was Harrison that you met first.
	That's right.
	Yeah, and introduced us.
	It's just been great to know Tony over the years.
	I got to meet Tony's son, which was a real pleasure.
	Very stand-up young man and just very nice family all around.
	And so we're going to want to talk to Tony about what's going on with gold and silver.
	And of course, if you guys in the audience have any questions about gold and silver or anything Tony is an expert on, feel free to punch him in and we'll pass him along.
	So Tony, tell us today, what's going on with gold and silver?
	I believe I saw that gold was up a little bit today and silver was down just a little bit.
	Yeah, I think...
	Just in a short-term analysis, I think what we're looking at, there's been a little bit of pullback on gold because there is the perception that there's stabilization in the markets based off of perceived deals that haven't even happened yet with the Trump tariffs and trade, beginning with the UK last week.
	There's just talks and projections of what will go on, so markets love certainty.
	As you see, the inverse happens when There is some sort of perceived stability, which you and I both know, if you really look at the metrics, if you look behind the scenes, behind the curtain, it doesn't look good for the monetary system.
	But that's the way markets are.
	They're very short-term.
	They don't look long-term.
	So there's a sell-off a little bit in gold and silver, maybe some profit-taking on some of those larger contracts.
	And you see something else happen at the same time, Bitcoin.
	Has gone up.
	I think it broke 104,000 yesterday, and I haven't checked yet today on the crypto side.
	But that's where that inverse happens because of market certainty.
	So there really isn't much, you know, no earth-shattering news that's happened, but all the fundamentals that, you know, I talk to your dad pretty much every week, and we look at the same fundamentals and the metrics there, which are...
	Countries and central banks still buying gold, massive levels, breaking records.
	People around the world are de-dollarizing, not just countries and central banks, but people.
	And they're getting into precious metals, they're getting into gold.
	And you will see that share of the dollar being used around the world declining.
	So that's all fundamentally still there.
	So we kind of look at the price.
	The price can get...
	The price of gold has, you know, we've seen like, what, 40 different all-time highs in the last year or so.
	Probably we'll see a lot more as it climbs, it continues to break its all-time high.
	Silver's been boring.
	Silver's been boring, and thank God for that, because actually it gives you time, and especially yesterday I told Yeka, who works for me, she's my head trader, I called her and I said, Make sure that I get some silver.
	I forget to buy it for myself.
	And I said, we're going to put it in my IRAs because the same things that I put people in that are my customers that are your customers and listeners, I buy for myself.
	And I said, hey, give me some 100-ounce Canadian silver maple leaf bars.
	I'm going to put those in my IRA because right now silver is super cheap based off its being all-time high 45 years ago.
	So there's a lot of...
	There's good and bad news with de-dollarization and market manipulation.
	I think silver is one of those things we can look at and say, well, okay, I didn't get the gains that I wanted, but it also gives me more time to acquire it.
	Same thing with gold.
	Not as much, because gold is more of a monetary metal at this point, used by central banks.
	But I still think gold is cheap relative to what's happened to the dollar.
	It really is truly astounding, Travis.
	Even if I look at this every day and follow every single headline down to its logical conclusion, it really is crazy to see the death of a currency.
	It's not like I get to theoretically talk about what's happening to the dollar.
	It's happening right now.
	I'm watching it.
	I'm trying to do my best to navigate and send people in the right direction to help mitigate some of the shock that will be happening.
	Not tomorrow, but it will be happening soon.
	Yeah, that's one of those things is a lot of people always want a specific timeline on, you know, oh, well, when is it going to collapse?
	And I think anyone that tells you they know when it's going to happen is selling you a bill of goods.
	The forces at play here and the market is so incredibly complex.
	The sheer number of people that are invested in things makes it impossible to give in.
	Accurate timeline of when this is coming down, but it is possible to look at the house of cards and say, that doesn't look stable.
	This is not an if, it's a when.
	And the more you're able to move outside that system, the better it is for you when the system does collapse.
	That's the way I look at it.
	Not in a sense of, oh, this is happening tomorrow.
	Oh, it's going to happen this year.
	It's simply just a, it's going to happen.
	Who knows when?
	Probably, you know, on a grand timescale, probably fairly soon.
	But when you look at how complex the markets are and how they are able to manipulate them, saying for certain when something is going to happen becomes a very, very risky proposition.
	Yeah, I think the experiment that started in 1971 with Nixon taking us off the gold standard or closing the gold window, by the way, that was supposed to be temporary.
	Aren't so many things the government does supposed to be temporary?
	I seem to recall quite a few things over the years being like, oh, well, this is a temporary measure.
	You know, this is only for an emergency.
	And then it seems that, you know, they just kind of stick around, you know?
	It's like a house guest that shows up.
	It's like, oh, I'm just going to crash on your couch for a bit.
	And then you turn around and it's two years and the couch has a very big dent in it from where they've refused to move from.
	Nothing so permanent as a temporary...
	Wasn't it Reagan who said that the closest thing to eternal life on this planet is a government program or something like that?
	I'm paraphrasing, but yeah, it truly is interesting to watch when you see something temporary become permanent, and that's always the language that's used.
	But I look at that, and I was bringing up a few weeks ago, we hit...
	$3,500 an ounce in gold in the futures markets.
	And I thought, okay, so that's 100 times what the price of gold was on August 15, 1971.
	It was $35 an ounce, and that had been that way really since 1933.
	I mean, Franklin Roosevelt, along with his handler who lived in the White House, Harry Hopkins, kind of like Woodrow Wilson had a handler named Mandel House who lived in the White House.
	Agent of the bankers, you know, this was telling him what to raise the price of gold to.
	And so they had all your, you know, Brett Roosevelt in 33 in April signing executive orders to turn in your gold and no more gold hoarding.
	They eventually made it illegal for you to own gold.
	And slowly after he received the gold from the American public, he started to raise the price from $20 an ounce and it made it all the way to $35.
	And then that's the way it was, and it was set in place there in Bretton Woods in 1944 as the dollar became the world's reserve currency officially.
	But it's interesting, you know, you go to 1971, we're still the world's reserve currency, but we renege on the deal.
	And we say, well, we're no longer going to honor that promise where the dollar's backed by gold.
	And we use some, you know, excuse about speculators and all this.
	But it was just us.
	We're the speculators of this government.
	We took the...
	Silver out of the coinage.
	We expanded the money supply.
	We had the space race and Vietnam and all these other things going on.
	And the behind-the-scenes programs and the deep state and all the rest.
	So, you know, they expanded the money supply.
	And we're still the world's reserve currency, but we're inside of an experiment.
	And I think the world knows that.
	And we probably could have gotten away with it for a lot longer, Travis, had we not had weaponization of the dollar and sanctions and been a big bully.
	So right now you're just seeing countries moving away.
	That's not going to stop.
	That train has left.
	And so they're building new networks.
	I think that gold is already the world's reserve currency again.
	It's just using these payment systems.
	Really, that's what the...
	The crux of it is the payment systems that are used.
	The infrastructure is being built there.
	Even things like Bitcoin.
	Bitcoin, for all the volatility of it, is still looked at favorably by some countries like Russia, even India.
	China is looking at doing stuff with Bitcoin.
	Even now, they've banned mining, but they're going to do some stuff.
	Those things are on the table.
	In a post-dollar world, everything is on the table.
	And it's not that something's going to replace the dollar like a competitor.
	It's just that it'll be decentralized.
	That's my opinion.
	I can definitely see that.
	As you were saying, we're seeing these systems move up to take the place of the...
	American hegemony that has been the status quo since post-World War II.
	And, you know, we've seen China and Russia making overtures towards each other and cementing alliances.
	And what happened with, you know, the Red Square parade where they brought in so many world leaders from around the country to sort of probably behind the scenes come to some sort of consensus about what they're going to do.
	We can see that the American power system is no longer holding sway the way it once did.
	The world is realizing that America, to some extent, is a paper tiger and that they are free, or more free than they have been in the past, to move away from these systems that have been constraining them and crushing them and holding them to America as unwilling allies.
	And the fact that the dollar is in decline is a huge part of that.
	They know that at some point it is going to collapse in on us and they will not be beholden to us at all.
	And so it behooves them to start forming these alliances and moving away in any way that they can.
	What's your opinion on what's going on with Russia and China?
	Well, it's a very dangerous situation.
	I don't say that without any historical sense.
	It's really sad that, you know, mid 1970s, early 1970s, you had Nixon opening China.
	And that was a move on, at least strategically, geopolitically, to dismantle monolithic global communism and do it in a peaceful way.
	That was the play.
	Okay.
	And that's...
	That's at least the idea.
	There's some other things behind it.
	You could look at the technocracy and the Trilateral Commission.
	But just leave that aside for a second.
	That move did something, and it accelerated, I believe, the end of the Cold War.
	You had the policy of detente in the 1970s, and that was just basically we have this frozen peace.
	We still talk.
	We still do it.
	We have these diplomatic open channels.
	But what was...
	You know, previously, the things, the run-ups that were things like the Cuban Missile Crisis, those tensions were loosened a bit, and then you saw this gradual decline.
	Kind of the peak of the Soviet Union was its invasion of Afghanistan, which was my birthday, the day I was born, the day the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan.
	And you saw this mighty Soviet Empire collapse on Christmas of 19...
	So it basically just imploded in and out of itself and collapsed into 16 pieces.
	One of the reasons we were able to do that is because the Russians and the Chinese, they had shooting wars.
	Even as allies, supposedly, in the Soviet bloc, they shot at each other.
	They had open hostility.
	In some of the lands that the czars, you know, the Russian czars had conquered long ago, and there was border disputes and things.
	So there wasn't always like this happy relationship between China and Russia, but communism kind of brought them together, you know, Mao's government, and then that philosophy worldwide.
	You like killing your civilian population?
	I like killing my civilian population.
	Where have you been all my life?
	You like gulags?
	We like gulags.
	You like depopulation?
	So do we.
	They really had a lot in common that way.
	It's like, hey, wait, hold my beer.
	I've got a mass grave as a country.
	So they really did.
	They had this alliance there, and we used that as a wedge, the hostilities and the things that they had historically, and we flipped.
	China.
	And it would seem that the ball that was missed here, even writers like Gore Vidal, who was on the left after the Cold War, is like, why don't we have some sort of economic alliance with Russia?
	Why are we dropping this?
	Like, it doesn't make any sense for us to continue hostilities to the Soviet Union instead.
	Well, that kind of goes back to the neocons and the Wolfowitz Memorandum of 1992.
	They set up Russia in a lot of ways to be this boogeyman so they'd have this tension there for geopolitical advantages.
	It's really sick and Machiavellian that they did this because we would be able to have some sort of inroads to peace.
	China would not be in the position that it was today if we had some sort of stronger ties and alliances with Russia, because that'd be the natural thing to do.
	Instead, we drove Russia into the sphere, back into China, because of our, you know, Hillary Clinton had that button, that reset button.
	He's going to give the dip, I forget the other Russian ambassadors, a total flop.
	They never, they had no intention of flipping Russia or bringing Russia back into the Western sphere.
	This has always been...
	And it really is sad.
	We have these enemies we shouldn't have.
	And Russia and China right now, I think there's a really pivotal moment in the last year and a half, and I may be off on my timeline, I think it's about a year and a half, Travis, where Xi Jinping meets with Vladimir Putin and they have this moment where they're parting ways.
	And he says, you know, this is historic.
	There hasn't been this kind of change in the last hundred years.
	And so they're talking about a fourth turning, and they're talking about resetting the grand chessboard themselves.
	And they have an opportunity, because the United States is, we can argue from our standpoint, you know, there's a lot of moving parts here, but, you know, there's a controlled demolition going on.
	My friend Charlie Robinson wrote the controlled demolition of the American Empire, and he's not wrong about that.
	It's hard to say where actual policy starts and then the inside job of making America look like a pitiful giant begins.
	I don't know.
	I just know that we've botched every single opportunity for peace in the last 20-plus years.
	And I'm not sure exactly why, other than what we discussed.
	The resetting of, you know, using America as like a sacrificial, you know, some sort of a sacrificial lamb in a way or just some sort of like just put it up there and we're going to use that as like a disbursement of wealth and technology and other things that the globalists have done.
	It's hard to answer that question, but I do believe that China and Russia, based off of our actions in the last 15, 20 years, are forming major alliances like we haven't seen since the height of the Cold War, unfortunately.
	Yeah, it does seem that we are moving back towards that sort of openly antagonistic relationship with them, which largely had gone away by the time I was born, or at least by the time I was old enough to be cognizant of such things.
	Yes.
	Russia, when I was a kid, was always just kind of seen as these kind of lovable goofballs.
	You know, they've got their bears and their vodka, and they just live out there in the snow.
	And now we're reverting back towards a sort of Red Dawn view of them, where they're this, you know, malevolent, malicious force that we need to worry is going to come, you know, knock down our door and take our stuff and put us into camps, which, you know...
	When you look at the amount of propaganda that was fed to people during the 80s, and probably even earlier, about how dangerous Russia was, I'm continually amazed that we didn't have a more open, active war with them at the time, just based on how utterly obsessed with them everyone in the United States was at the time.
	I saw this headline in RT.
	And I thought it was interesting.
	Fyodor Lukianov, Russia doesn't need Western approval to shape global history.
	And I believe this is speaking to what you're saying in the sense that they are starting to realize, or they already have, that they are free of the oppressive weight of the American hegemony to a large extent where America is not the power it once was.
	You no longer need to come hat in hand to ask for permission to do things from America on the world stage, or at minimum, you no longer need to sneak around behind their back if you're going to make deals with people.
	You don't have to worry so much that if America doesn't like what you're doing, they're going to come kick down your door and say, hey, you can't do that.
	Or if they do, they are not able to effectively bring that might to bear.
	They are not the force they once were.
	So I think that speaks to what you're saying.
	This is the fourth turning.
	The Western base of power is potentially no longer seated in America, and it could be shifting very rapidly.
	It could be now that it's in the East.
	Russia and China have a tremendous amount of men between them.
	The military is large in both countries, so it's very interesting times we live in.
	But we do have some comments here about what we're talking about with gold and silver.
	Knights of the Storm, Jason Barker, says, I was considering selling what little gold I have and buying silver.
	I talked to Wise Wolf about that a few years ago.
	It was kind of obvious they were suppressing silver value via ETF.
	That's something we've talked about quite a lot, is that...
	They like to keep the silver prices low for their purposes, whether it's because silver is used in more manufacturing than gold is.
	Gold is more of, like you said, just a currency, or they use it to make jewelry, whereas silver has real-world applications and uses.
	So are they still using ETFs and other things to suppress the price?
	I believe that they are, and I believe that it may be larger than just I think it could be a strategy.
	At least that's the open question.
	There's probably a reason why Russia started to add silver to its strategic reserve assets.
	It did that within the last eight, nine months, I believe.
	And that's the first government to do that strategically since the Chinese before Mao came to power in 1949.
	So I thought that was a...
	That was a big move.
	Didn't get a lot of headlines because the mainstream and the commentators, they don't really know what kind of earth-shattering news that is because that's not what they're paying attention to.
	But I think that the military-industrial complex, the largest arms dealer in the world is the United States of America.
	Those arms, a lot of the technology to make those Bombs, so-called smart bombs, the night vision, all of the manufactured armaments of the United States, for the most part, carry silver.
	And like I said, there's 500 ounces of silver in each Tomahawk missile, so there's a monster box.
	That's what they call a monster box, 500 ounces.
	There's a monster box of silver in each missile.
	And so, you know, you think about that.
	In order for that margin to continue and those prices, if silver re-evaluated to its historical levels, you'd be over $200 an ounce versus, you know, $32 an ounce.
	So that's a big difference.
	A lot of those armaments and things would increase exponentially.
	So that's a conspiracy theory, I think, that has a lot of weight.
	Some quid pro quo on these large banks like JP Morgan.
	I don't know.
	I'm just hanging a question mark over it because they're the largest private holder of silver in the world.
	Why would they be convicted of suppressing the price?
	I don't know about you, Travis, but if I owned the lion's share of something, I'd like that price to run.
	Yes.
	Wouldn't you?
	Yeah.
	It's one of those things where, again, the players involved are so Machiavellian and there's so many of them.
	That getting a full understanding of what they're doing with anything becomes borderline impossible.
	You just have to know that they are bad people and they don't want what's best for you.
	So whatever they're going to do, the outcome will be bad for you.
	So just potentially think of what the worst possible thing they could do is and, you know, go from there and you won't be disappointed has always been my kind of take on things.
	Yeah, it's hard to think like a lizard when you're not one.
	You know, if you have a soul and you love God, it's like, how do I...
	How do I put myself?
	It's just the opposite.
	If you could just figure out the inverse of everything, then you can start thinking like that.
	It's tough to do.
	We don't think like that.
	I definitely think there's something wrong.
	I've asked your dad that, and I haven't bothered to really look, but can anybody name another commodity whose all-time high was 45 years ago?
	Come on!
	Everything else is going through the roof.
	And you're pricing it in dollars that are, I mean, $52 an ounce for silver in 1980, Travis.
	I mean, what's $52 in 1980?
	$300 in purchasing power based off of the loss of what we've experienced today?
	I mean, you've got to be kidding me.
	And so I think that without giving investment advice, but like I said, If you want to know what Tony's buying, I love gold.
	I like my gold coin that I have, and I have a decent collection.
	But right now, I'm really leaning on silver, and I'm looking at things like Bitcoin, too.
	That's why we opened up Wise Wolf Bitcoin.
	We're doing a lot of transactions.
	People are turning their Bitcoin into silver and gold, too.
	I'm seeing some of those transactions.
	But, yeah, there's a lot of upside in silver, and I think we're going to continue to see that.
	I don't know when it's going to finally re-evaluate, but I just know they can't do that forever.
	And the world wants to reprice commodities.
	That's why the Shanghai Gold Exchange is building satellite warehouses.
	It's going to physical, these paper deals and all that.
	There's too much disruption in the market for them to continue the papering over of commodities.
	It's a race for that.
	The Belt and Road Initiative is one of those things showing the minerals.
	It's the rare things.
	It's commodities, folks, and that's where we're headed.
	That's the end run of this experiment in fiat currency.
	The average lifespan of a fiat currency is 26 years.
	We've doubled that because of the money velocity in the economy, but I think that's Prices will be reset based off of what commodities are and not what currencies.
	We have a question from Jason Barker, Knights of the Storm here.
	He says, the U.S. credit rating is not looking good right now.
	How will this affect our position on the world stage?
	Well, I mean, we're going to have a hard time convincing these countries to do what we say and follow us and use our currency.
	Party's over in a lot of ways.
	We've made some terrible, terrible decisions when it comes to geopolitics and making inroads for economic partnerships.
	And over the years, it just looks really bad.
	I mean, these countries are moving away.
	Our credit rating, this has a lot to do with what you can borrow.
	It has a lot to do with how you're perceived.
	Markets and countries, they love stability.
	They like certainty.
	When you are iffy, it's like, you know, if my credit rating drops, I have a hard time.
	It's like I have a hard time using credit line to buy products or whatever.
	Once you break that trust, and we've broken, we're starting to break that trust and have been for quite a while, it's really sad to watch.
	So that message, when the U.S. is losing its credit rating, it's time for you to do something about yourself.
	I think be your own bank and be in charge of your own economic future.
	That's the message that you've got.
	Yes, we have not been good stewards.
	Yeah, as you said, the party's over and the hangover's about to be here.
	So, you know, prepare for that accordingly.
	I was telling people earlier, just, you know, start preparing ways to have your own food supply.
	You know, find ways to have clean water.
	Because at the end of the day, that is a huge thing as well.
	You know, get out of the fiat system and have your own food supply.
	That is where it's going to come down to eventually.
	Don't know when, don't know how, but one day...
	That's what you will need to have.
	That's always a good idea anyway, if you can do it.
	Self-sufficiency.
	The flip side of that, too, a lot of people profit off doom and gloom.
	Even being in the space that I'm in, it's so funny when I hear some commentators on gold and silver, so-called experts, and they tell you what the price is going to be.
	I just stay away from that.
	Everything's crashing and everything's imploding.
	History's full of that.
	You're not a seer.
	You're not a Nostradamus.
	You're not a prophet because you can look at history.
	That doesn't make you that special.
	But I do think there's a lot of opportunity here for people.
	There's going to be opportunities to start.
	There's going to be opportunities to help people in a parallel economy.
	I'm optimistic about that.
	Because change, and change in this system, there's going to be, again, I think there's some real upside.
	But you have to figure out that for yourself.
	What can this offer me or my family and the upside of...
	David's talked about this too.
	If we lose that status as the reserve currency, it's going to be a lot of short-term pain, but we won't be able to be as arrogant.
	We'll have to make real decisions on foreign policy, on domestic policy.
	It won't be just this ethereal, we can make anything up as we go along.
	It's fantasy land, because it's like the party at the...
	You see those scenes from the movie they made out of the Great Gatsby.
	And then at the end, Gatsby's dead in the pool.
	It doesn't work out well.
	So you might want to be a little bit more disciplined.
	Exactly.
	And another good thing about being able to provide for yourself is hopefully you can provide for your friends and neighbors.
	You want to be able to help your community in times of struggle.
	So that's always another benefit of being self-sufficient.
	We've got some more comments here from Paleo Army.
	Armory says silver is going to go up just like in 2008-2011.
	Silver climbed last and outperformed gold at that time.
	I agree.
	In some way, I think what will be different though this time is that in 2011, gold came up to $1,900 and some change.
	And then same thing with silver.
	It broke $50.
	It didn't quite hit its all-time high.
	But that time Ben Bernanke came out, he was head of the Federal Reserve, the chairman, and he said, oh, hey, we understand what the response here is.
	You know, we bailed out these banks.
	We did TARP and all these other deals with massive liquidity injections.
	We're not going to do that anymore.
	We got it stabilized.
	We're putting all the measures in place for this not to happen again, so don't worry.
	And the markets calmed down.
	And they went back into the stocks and mutual funds and all the rest and played in that sandbox.
	And so all those shares of gold and silver went down.
	I don't think...
	Once that happens again, once there is...
	And I think that will happen based off...
	I think there will be a Black Swan or something.
	Some contract will be called that won't be there or several or something.
	And then they'll start re...
	Because it's like for every, you know, this is estimated, for every 250 or so ounces that are traded in the paper markets, only one actually exists of silver.
	One ounce exists in the real world.
	So I think somebody's going to be called to the carpet somehow.
	And then once that flips, but then who cares what Jerome Powell says?
	Yeah.
	Because by the way, metals have not responded.
	Gold stopped responding to what Jerome Powell said about a year and a half or two years ago.
	To be fair, I wouldn't listen to Jerome Powell either, you know?
	I wouldn't take his advice.
	No, I would not take his advice.
	But the markets, you know, the normies and, you know, I say normies, whatever, the people that are still hanging on to the old paradigm because they're invested in it.
	You know, like the Jim Cramers of the world, they're hanging on bated breath of what the Fed says, but if you really pay attention to, you know, the actual monetary markets, again, gold, and I don't know why this isn't bigger news, gold hasn't responded to any of their stuff.
	It just keeps doing what it's doing.
	It's outside of that paradigm, so interesting to watch.
	Yeah, we live in interesting times all over the place.
	We have a really good comment here from Angry Tiger.
	He has his own show.
	You should go check it out on Rumble and Kick.
	Angry Tiger and Snake Report, I believe, is the name of it.
	I just covered a story last night where the EU Central Bank had a meeting where they were discussing whether or not they need the dollar anymore.
	They are saying it's a risky asset.
	So, across the board, people are looking at the dollar as a bad investment.
	They realize we are not the America of yesterday.
	We are a failing empire.
	And it is not...
	You know, these countries that are supposedly our close allies that we have been friends with, even they're looking at it as a, ooh, I don't know.
	I don't know if we want to extend any more credit their way, is another way of looking at it.
	Just that sense of, I don't think we can trust this guy.
	I don't think he's going to pay it back.
	Right.
	Well, we've done that to ourselves.
	And in many ways, it looks to be on purpose that this is put into motion.
	But that's what we try to discern and to break down and analyze.
	Is that what's going on?
	Regardless if it's on purpose or if it's just stupidity, the same outcome.
	And we're resetting the global monetary system.
	That's why they call it a great reset.
	So you have to be prepared for that.
	Nobody's going to come in at the 11th hour and save the dollar.
	What they'll do...
	And unfortunately, they'll use this crisis as they always do to usher in something else.
	I think that's when you kind of look at the outlier.
	The dark horse here is the central bank digital currency, something like that, some kind of digitized control.
	That's what you're looking at as far as a threat to the outside.
	But whether or not the dollar is going to lose market share and lose purchasing power, I don't...
	I don't need anybody to tell me that that's going to happen.
	It doesn't matter what I say or you say or anybody else.
	It's a fiat currency.
	All fiat currencies die.
	And I'm not saying it goes to zero.
	I'm saying it goes to digital.
	There'll be a replacement of it.
	But in its current form, the dollar is unsustainable.
	And our actions haven't done anything to keep it propped up.
	That's really telling.
	I mean, Travis, we lost the petrodollar.
	How do you lose the petrodollar?
	I mean, you didn't even put up a fight.
	We didn't even say, hey, we'll do this, you do that.
	Keep the petrodollar.
	You know, keep all OPEC and Saudi oil being bought and denominated in dollars.
	Why didn't we do that?
	Unless we just wanted it to fail.
	And, you know, you had that advisor to Biden.
	I forget his name off the top of my head.
	But he wrote articles in the New York Times wanting to lose the world's reserve currency status.
	So, I mean, this is top officials in the government that are pushing for that.
	So it seems to be that's what they're trying to do, and that'll really, again, accelerate the end of our current currency system, and that's why it's more important than ever to bank on yourself.
	And it's one of those things where people argue whether it's stupidity and malevolence.
	My entire opinion on this is, if it was stupidity, they'd occasionally be stupid in our favor.
	They would make a mistake that benefits us, but it's never that way.
	It's always just this continual hammering down on the American people and making things worse for us in one way or the other.
	So I think at that point you have to...
	Yeah, the name of that...
	Oh, good.
	The name of that advisor was Bernstein.
	Bernstein.
	So, you know, you have to assume that these people are, you know, evil.
	They want the worst for you.
	So however you get outside their system will be beneficial.
	That's my take on things.
	Just get out of their systems however you can.
	However you think is best, that's the way to do it.
	We have another comment here from Knights of the Storm.
	Jason Barker says, look at the credit rating projections for the U.S. Many sources are saying that it looks bleak.
	Only about half say stable on our rating.
	The other half are negative.
	This is the canary in the coal mine.
	Yes, they're looking at it and saying that's a bad investment, not a good look.
	Well, they're not wrong.
	That's the sad part about it.
	It's like you're trying to convince them to be, no, you're wrong about it.
	No, they're right about it, and that's really sad.
	So that's why it's just more important than ever.
	To understand that that is the reality that we live in and then make adjustments.
	I think that one of the ways that you can guard against the loss of purchasing power of the dollar is to house it in assets and one of the easiest assets for that is gold or silver because they've been monetary metals since the beginning of all recorded history and civilization and I think that'll continue long after we're gone.
	If there is people, right?
	We'll still have monetary metals and physical metals.
	And I like the technology of things like Bitcoin.
	I think it's a really great innovation.
	I think it's educational more than anything.
	But gold and silver do something that Bitcoin can't do, and vice versa, by the way.
	I can send you Bitcoin right now, but there's no bank, there's no intermediary.
	If you have a secure wallet and the Internet exists, then you've got that Bitcoin.
	I think that's great.
	And then, you know, gold and silver, if you have no counterparty risk, you're not buying paper, you hold that in your hand.
	And that's the good thing about having physical gold and silver is they exist.
	Yes, and being able to hold it in your hand is a huge benefit these days when you don't know what is going to happen with other people or wherever they store whatever it is you're holding.
	If you don't have it with you, it's hard to say if you will be able to get it.
	Now, I see we've run over time and I apologize for that, Tony.
	I know you've got a show coming up.
	Don't worry.
	America Unplugged.
	So tell people where they can find that.
	I know it's on Rumble.
	I know it's on Twitter, at Tony Arterburn.
	And you guys should go check that out because Tony does a great job.
	As much information as he provides here, when he's got even more time, he can provide even more.
	Well, I appreciate the kind words, brother.
	Always great to talk to you.
	I look forward to talking with David again.
	And please give him my best.
	I'll be sure to check in with you guys here soon.
	Yeah, no show today, unfortunately.
	I've got a meeting in Dallas.
	This is kind of being the owner of Wise Wolf.
	Even on days where I have my shows, I somehow have to break that and go and meet with somebody.
	It's just trying to keep the supply chains rolling.
	No show today, but I'll put out a tweet or a Facebook post when the next show is going to be.
	I may drop a pair of truthers soon.
	That's another one of my shows that I'm trying to do.
	That always sets out.
	We're going to do one a week, and then it turns into one a month.
	But I love doing shows, and I love interacting with the audience.
	But I do have something.
	We're going to make an announcement real soon.
	I want to talk to you about it, too, because I was actually going to get your take.
	There's so much that Travis knows that he's become like this.
	Wealth of knowledge over the years.
	You've got to turn to him because he knows all kinds of stuff about podcasting and video.
	He's forgotten more than I know.
	I winged it for so long, Travis.
	I can wing it.
	But I've got some new stuff coming up.
	An interactive kind of live thing that I want to do.
	And we'll focus on the monetary system, metals and things like that.
	Try to stay focused in that.
	There's a lot of people that do parapolitics on the news way better than me.
	So I would like to just stick in that wheelhouse maybe one day a week.
	And we'll see.
	We'll be looking forward to that announcement.
	You guys in the audience, be on the lookout.
	Follow Tony on Twitter, at Tony Arterburn, if you still have your account.
	Be on the lookout.
	We're all very excited for that.
	Again, thank you so much, Tony.
	Thank you for the prayers and the kind words and just everything you've done to help with the show over the years.
	It is always just a pleasure getting to chat with you, and it is a pleasure being your friend.
	Same with you, brother.
	Appreciate you.
	Appreciate you, Tony.
	All right, folks.
	We're going to take a quick break and then we'll be right back.
	PIANO PLAYS
	Defending the American Dream.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	The David Knight Show.
	music
	Decoding the mainstream propaganda.
	It's the David Knight Show.
	Analyzing the globalist's next move.
	Music.
	And now, The David Nutt Show.
	Welcome back, folks.
	That was a great interview with Tony.
	He always provides just an amazing amount of information, and we cannot thank him enough for everything he does for the show.
	And I've still got a bunch of comments lined up here that I missed earlier.
	This one from epigeon2525.
	Thanks at whistler night for the context on dead internet theory.
	Another excuse for the digital ID mongers can exploit.
	Yes, I'll give them another reason to be like, oh, well, they're running bot farms.
	We need you to give us your ID so we can verify you're a real person.
	It's the only way we can shut down these bot farms.
	It's just...
	Yeah, because of course the only way to fight the...
	Corporations gaining control of the internet with their bots is give all control over to the government.
	That will surely solve all of our problems.
	Exactly.
	And we have a comment from Hal9000W, your friendly neighborhood supercomputer here.
	Solar panels are on the internet of things.
	Yes, going back to what I was talking about with China putting back doors into the power grid, they are attached to the internet and as such, they are vulnerable.
	Anything that is on the internet can be hacked.
	There is no such thing as a totally secure system.
	The real...
	Excuse me.
	The real Octo spook.
	Foreign computer hardware, firmware, and software is a mistake to put in foreign hands, American government hands, or large corporation hands.
	The automatons who your freedom or enslavement depends upon need we the people.
	Yes.
	They, uh...
	They want to use all these mechanisms to control you.
	I have a comment from ApricotPitsCanCureCancer, and let me be clear, that is the username, that is not a claim I am making.
	The government gets very, very touchy when you make medical claims, and as such, I make none.
	That is a username.
	I will only let my kids use a desktop computer or perhaps a gaming console.
	I don't want them having tech anywhere they go unless it's for work.
	It's bad for the soul.
	Yes, that is true.
	Even in my daily life, I find myself too attached to my phone.
	Constantly checking it for updates on utterly inane, useless things.
	That is something that my generation has struggled with and future generations are struggling with more.
	It is a constant source of control.
	Another comment from Hal9000W.
	Funny that the Chinese solar panels get their U.S. customs with these rogue transmitters.
	Yeah, you'd think they would have some way of sussing them out before they get here, but they don't.
	And I don't believe that they are finding all of them.
	I am sure that there are some that make it through.
	And as was said in that story, what they claim caused the shutdown of the ones part of the power grid for that company was just the fact that they didn't get a firmware update.
	You know, all they have to do is just not send you the update and eventually it stops working.
	The real Octo spook.
	All software should be open source so anyone can look at the code and have access to backdoor, subliminal, psychological manipulations, etc.
	People are simply fools to run Windows or Mac OS.
	They have lost all control over everything on their computers, phones.
	For some, that is everything.
	The security of your whole life on your phone, computer, and devices.
	A handful of promises.
	Like it or not.
	Yep.
	That is right.
	And Knights of the Storm responded, So true, the Cisco routers we had in the army all had backdoors built in and all had to be replaced back when I was in Camo.
	That's right.
	They will continually build these backdoors into things for themselves, but they can be exploited by other foreign powers and bad actors.
	Not that the government isn't itself a bad actor, but they want these backdoors so that they can get your data, so that they have more control over your daily life.
	So, thank you so much.
	I already read that one earlier.
	Oh, apparently it's a new one from Solid Sender.
	Another, wow, that is so incredibly generous.
	Another best wishes from the UK.
	Well, thank you, Solid Sender.
	That is so kind.
	Really do appreciate that.
	And while...
	We still have time because we are going to end the show as we have been doing with more clips from old shows of my dad because as I've said before, this is the David Knight show.
	It would not be the David Knight show without him.
	And we want to make sure that you are still getting the level of information that you are used to.
	So once we finish with our articles here, we're going to play some clips, but we still have some time left today.
	I want to talk about the Second Amendment for a bit.
	We haven't covered that in a while.
	At least I haven't.
	And this article comes from Breitbart.
	Fact check.
	Teen Vogue falsely claims guns the number one killer of children.
	And this is...
	They love to fear-monger about guns.
	They love to scare people, the general populace, about anything they can when it comes to guns.
	It is fear-mongering to get you to give up your rights or to create such a consensus and a clamor.
	From the average person that you are forced into a very bad situation where the government will come to your door and demand them and you are forced to make a very serious choice.
	Claim in a May 14, 2025 article, Teen Vogue claimed gun violence recently surpassed auto accidents as the number one killer of American children.
	And the verdict is false.
	The claim only works if people of voting age 18 and 19 are counted as children.
	Well, I mean, if we're going by DACA rules, people all the way up to 27 might be children.
	So maybe we have to look at that, too.
	Maybe we've got to see, you know, if a 27-year-old is a child, we might be facing a real gun violence epidemic here, folks.
	Breitbart News noted that former President Joe Biden was the first to make the false claim that guns were the number one killer of children.
	Well, Joe Biden made a lot of false claims.
	And whether that was intentional or just the product of a failing mind remains to be seen.
	But when he was sharper, it definitely would have been just a flat-out lie.
	But these days, who knows?
	On June 2, 2022, he repeated the false claim numerous times over the following two years, and the inaccurate claim was echoed by Kamala Harris, former President Barack Obama, pro-gun control actor Billy Porter.
	Who is this guy?
	I don't know actors.
	Anytime we're watching something, my wife has to tell me who people are.
	I'll be like, hey, that guy looks familiar.
	And then she looks at me and says, well, yeah, it's such and such.
	He's been in every single movie ever.
	I'm like, oh, yeah, that's right.
	That's where I've seen him.
	Every movie ever, of course.
	Billy Porter, pro-gun control actress Alyssa Milano, film director Scott Derrickson, and many other gun control advocates.
	Alyssa Milano, what a lovely individual she is.
	She's just...
	You know, a blessing, and we are so glad to have Melissa Milano here with us.
	Truly, just a lovely lady.
	Each time the claim was made, Breitbart News did a fact check noting that it was based on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention figures that counted 18 to 19-year-olds as children and asserted more firearms-related deaths for children in 2020 than motor vehicle deaths.
	This is another one of those things where...
	Statistics don't lie, but liars use statistics.
	They can stretch these things and manipulate them and make them say basically whatever they want.
	Expanding the age range lets them do this.
	And if people don't check them on these things, they get away with it.
	And to be clear, they aren't comparing the...
	Even when you compare the total amount of deaths of...
	So this is comparing a larger age group of people that are being killed with gun violence than they are comparing to car violence.
	If they were to include 18 and 19-year-olds in car deaths, it would be much, much, Yes, exactly.
	So they continually manipulate how they report these things.
	The total number of firearm-related deaths for people, ages 0 to 19, totaled 4,368 in 2020, while motor vehicle deaths to the age range...
	For the same age range totaled 4,036.
	Looks like they actually did account for that.
	Breitbart News is able to do a custom search on the CDC's numbers limiting the category of children to those 0-17, i.e.
	those below voting age, and the data completely flipped.
	The number of fire-related deaths for children 0-17 is 2,281 in 2020, while the number of motor vehicle deaths for the same age was 2,503.
	And of course, the death of anyone is a tragedy, and it is especially sad when it is children.
	This is not to make light of those deaths in any way.
	It is not to...
	Do that at all, but it is important to point out that they are lying about this, that they are manipulating these facts so that they can push an agenda.
	The Second Amendment is not to be bargained with.
	It is not to be infringed upon.
	They continually do so anyway, but it is important to have these facts at your disposal.
	And of course it's the two things that the globalists really want to attack is your ability to defend yourself and your ability to move.
	Well, the three things are move, communicate, and shoot, and they're also going after communication as much as they can with their attacks on free speech.
	But there is some risk inherent to life, and in order to be free, you need to have guns and cars.
	Assess those risks and take them on for yourself.
	We do not want a nanny state government that can do everything for us because then they can do anything to us.
	This next article comes off of Bearing Arms, self-proclaimed gun safety advocates object to teaching gun safety in schools.
	It's been a few years since the anti-gun lobby tried to rebrand itself as a gun safety movement because people respond more positively to that phrase than gun control.
	But I don't think it's working out too well for them, especially when they come out in opposition to teaching kids real gun safety lessons in school.
	And this article is by Cam Edwards, and again, it is on BearingArms.com.
	New Hampshire Rep Terry Roy has introduced a measure that would require one single hour of age-appropriate instruction every year for public school students, a modest measure designed to impart the lesson that handling a gun without adult supervision is a no-no.
	If there's ever a gun-related issue that both pro-2A and anti-gun forces can agree on, it should be this, but Roy's proposal is a bridge too far for the gun controllers.
	And again, this is just...
	I don't believe in public school.
	I think they should be eliminated, and your child should be homeschooled or at minimum...
	Taught by someone that you have personally chosen or in some sort of dynamic where...
	The people come together and potentially pay a private tutor for lessons for a group of children so that you have direct control and knowledge over what is being taught.
	But you would think if their goal is to reduce any sort of accidents with guns with children, this would be a step that they could get behind, but they don't because it's not about protecting children.
	It is about taking guns away from you and me.
	It is about making sure that at the extremity of things you are not able to defend yourself.
	They do not want you to be able to do that.
	A population that is not able to defend itself is simply a slave population.
	There would be, and he said, an hour of schooling on this in a year.
	That is nothing.
	One hour per year of school.
	Imagine if you did one hour a year in math.
	You would never learn anything.
	This is an incredibly minuscule amount of time they would be spending on being taught gun safety.
	And the thing is, as a general rule, gun safety is very, very simple.
	You don't point it at anything you don't want to kill.
	You always check if it's loaded.
	It's not a complex procedure.
	Gun safety is a very, very simple concept.
	And it is usually generally people that know nothing about guns and are fearful of them that get into problems with them.
	Knights of the Storm, the number one killer of children is Planned Parenthood.
	Fact check equals true.
	Yes, that is right.
	I actually have quite a few articles about Planned Parenthood that I wanted to get to cover, but I don't think I'll have time today.
	There's actually some very interesting reports.
	Some conflicting data on whether they're getting more funding or less funding, but yes, they are killing more children than anyone else.
	It is a silent holocaust that is ongoing every single day in this country, and it is horrifying to think about when you know there's about 400,000 children a year killed by Planned Parenthood.
	400,000 children that should have had the chance to grow up and enjoy life.
	Laugh and play that they never did.
	Never will.
	There'd be no guns in schools during the lessons, and parents could pull their kids from the class if they objected.
	Similar bills have recently passed in Arkansas, Tennessee, and Utah.
	Opponents have called Roy's legislation misguided and dangerous.
	Misguided and dangerous to teach kids via diagrams and pictures about gun safety.
	The bear.
	Minimum.
	The barest minimum, as you said, an hour per year.
	Shocking that, again, this is where they take issue.
	As I said, it is not about gun safety.
	It was simply a cynical rebrand to move from gun control to gun safety, as was pointed out in this article.
	This is not about teaching...
	If they cared about children and guns, they would...
	They would have no problem with this.
	They would go, okay, well, yes, we don't like guns, but this is something that we can agree on.
	Since we can't get guns off the streets or haven't been able to yet, we can at least educate children on what a firearm is and how to handle it safely if they come across one.
	But as we can see, they have no real interest in protecting children from firearms-related deaths.
	It is simply a tool they use to try to take your guns from you.
	The more people look into it and realize I'm not trying to teach a combat class, the more people are saying, you know what?
	That makes a lot of sense, Roy said.
	Yes.
	Do they think he's trying to raise an army of child soldiers?
	Is that what's going on?
	They think he's going to come in there wearing some sort of strongman militaristic outfit and tell them that the time has come and his army of child soldiers will swarm across the country.
	We'll all be powerless in front of them.
	Gabrielle Goldstein disagrees.
	She told lawmakers last week how scared she was during lockdown drills at Portsmouth High School and the trauma of seeing an active shooter at the University of North Carolina her freshman year.
	I can imagine that it is terrifying to be in that situation.
	But I can imagine that if I was in that situation, I would want the opportunity to defend myself and not be completely and utterly powerless and helpless and reliant on someone coming to save me, Gabrielle.
	I'm very sorry that you had to endure that.
	I hope that it never happens again.
	But that does not give you the right to take guns from law-abiding citizens.
	It is enshrined in the Constitution.
	It was the Second Amendment they thought of where they realized, okay, maybe we need to make things more clear.
	The root of gun violence in schools isn't a lack of knowledge, she told lawmakers.
	It's the choice to cause harm.
	In training students to firearm safety, we won't stop that choice.
	It won't prevent trauma.
	It just brings us one step closer to accepting guns as a part of everyday school life.
	Somewhere guns don't belong.
	No, Gabrielle, I think you're misunderstanding what he wants.
	I don't think he's saying that this will stop school shooters.
	I think we all intrinsically recognize that there is something wrong with someone that chooses to shoot up a school and take an innocent life like that.
	Whether it's because they're on SSRIs or because they are fundamentally broken as a person I think what he's trying to address are these accidents where a child comes across a gun and doesn't understand what it is and thinks it's something that they can play with.
	They don't understand that it can be a very dangerous tool if they use it wrongly.
	There'd be no guns in school under Roy's proposal, which addresses Goldstein's chief complaint, but that doesn't matter to her or the gun control activists at Moms Demand Action and other anti-2A organizations.
	The version of gun safety is don't own one.
	And they're well within their rights if they decide not to exercise their right to keep and bear arms.
	That's right.
	If you don't want a gun, you don't have to buy a gun.
	I'm not going to come to your house and force you to buy a gun at gunpoint.
	No one is.
	Then you'd have a gun to point back at me.
	That'd be crazy.
	Then I'm in a Mexican standoff, and it just becomes a real pain in the neck, you know?
	A little bit of absurdism here.
	But again, this is never about keeping kids safe.
	This is simply about their own fear.
	They don't want to take responsibility for their own safety.
	They want to believe that Big Daddy government can...
	Come in and save them in any situation.
	And if you are able to take responsibility for yourself, that makes them feel unsafe.
	This is another article off of Bearing Arms, again by Cam Edwards.
	But we have a comment here from The Real Octo Spook.
	Born in the 50s, growing up in the 60s, I, my fellow citizens, always had guns, rights.
	Homes and decent lives, living standards, and quality of life.
	That began to change in 1967 with the loss of gun rights and other rights.
	Yes, it has been a slow erosion over the years.
	The country I grew up in was very, very different from the country my dad grew up in.
	He has commented on it many times, and the comment in the country that is here now that my son will grow up in is very different from the country I grew up in.
	It is a continual decline.
	They strip things slowly.
	They work on timescales of decades.
	These people know that once they get into power, they very, very rarely ever have to give it back.
	And so they are willing to work quickly.
	slowly and meticulously and chip away little by little at the things we hold most dear.
	And I'm reminded of how they used to have shooting clubs at schools.
	People would bring their guns to...
	Do target shooting competitions.
	There was even, as recently as King of the Hill, 90s, there was a whole plot point of Bobby joining the school shooting club.
	And I've heard, you know, Dad talk about that and how that used to be a thing.
	And now, one hour per year of no guns on the premises but just the bare basics of gun safety is now a huge political football.
	Yeah, it shows how far we've fallen and also just how neurotic and insane the people of the United States have become that even just discussing gun safety, you know, with slides or whatever, no guns on the premises, just simply discussing proper gun safety is too far.
	It's too scary.
	And again, this new article, Bearing Arms by Cam Edwards, will gun stores targeted by Biden's zero tolerance?
	And if you all remember, which I'm sure you do, the Biden administration started a zero-tolerance policy where any small misfiling of paperwork or you fill something out wrong would result in your FFL license being taken from you.
	And that started to rapidly affect many people because of how nightmarish the bureaucracy is, how many different laws and rules they have on the books.
	It is nearly impossible to comply with everything and fill everything out correctly The Biden administration's zero-tolerance policy on federally licensed firearms dealers that led to the revocation of hundreds of licenses for minor paperwork errors that have been officially squashed by the Trump administration, but those FFLs who were targeted by the previous administration, the nightmare continues.
	The owners of Clarksville, Tennessee's The Tactical Edge say they haven't had to close their doors since their license was revoked in 2023, but they're barely hanging on while hoping that President Trump will give them some relief.
	That's right.
	He has, thankfully...
	Thankfully, they're not holding to the zero-tolerance policy anymore, but he hasn't gone in and done anything for the people that have been affected by it so far, which is what he needs to do.
	At the end of 2022, shop owners William Boswell and Robert Snyder told News 2 that the ATF found 10 minor clerical errors among the nearly 2,500 forms the shop had filed.
	Think about that.
	2,500 forms that you have to file.
	How easy it would be to accidentally do something wrong, to misspell something in such a way that they take this as an infraction, or maybe put something on the wrong line.
	2,500 forms.
	That is my own personal nightmare.
	Filling out paperwork basically gives me hives.
	I hate it.
	Snyder said that they had similar mistakes in the past and were always able to fix things without getting their FFL revoked.
	They decided to hire Nashville-based attorney John Harris to help get them to get a stay, but to no avail.
	We just financially couldn't afford to fight it anymore, Snyder said.
	The government's got unlimited money.
	They can have an attorney in there every single day.
	We just can't do that.
	It cost us almost $100,000 in legal fees.
	That is a continual tactic, whether you're dealing with the government or big business.
	If they have more money than you, they can afford to drag it out.
	They never have to really take you to trial or give you due process.
	They can just bury you under legal jargon.
	They can just tie you up forever and burn through money.
	If money is no object to them and it is to you, you just simply cannot win as a general rule.
	That is the way the American legal system works.
	This specific one, Tactical Edge, Clarksville, Tennessee.
	Keep these guys in your prayers as well.
	Make sure that we are doing what we can to help people that are struggling under the weight of the American bureaucracy.
	That's some of the best things we can do.
	As I said before, we are going to end the show today with more clips from previous shows of my dad.
	I want to make sure that this is still the David Knight Show, and the David Knight Show needs some David Knight in it.
	So, we have AI Tools of Deception, of course talking, as the title implies, about AI and what that could possibly mean for the future.
	Greater Replacement.
	Talking about how they want to use AI and robots to replace you and me.
	They don't want a human workforce anymore.
	Humans, you know, they have rights.
	They demand rights.
	They need to take bathroom breaks.
	Robot is just going to do whatever it's told for as long as it can until it breaks down.
	That's what they want in the end.
	And also we're going to play you how the Amish have avoided this to some extent and how maybe you can break free.
	As well.
	But before I go, I know I'll probably run a little bit over time, but please keep our family in your prayers, especially our dad.
	He's really struggling right now.
	It has been incredibly hard for him.
	He needs your prayers, so please keep lifting him up before God.
	Pray that his vocal cords would be healed.
	Pray that he would have the full use of his left arm again soon.
	Just pray for a speedy and swift recovery.
	Pray that my mom has given strength.
	She has been an amazing rock for him through all this.
	She has been with him every step of the way.
	Pray that I would be able to bring you good shows and good information.
	Pray that Whistler, you know, is able to run the board and just pray for all of us with the stress that we would feel God's peace on all of us.
	Just thank you for joining us and have a good rest of your day.
	And I have some good news.
	They are moving him out of the ICU today, last I heard.
	So he's been in there for a couple days now, and he's going to be glad to be out of the constant supervision of the nurses.
	It's still going to be woken up every hour at the most with more medical stuff when they put him in a regular hospital bed, but...
	We're just going to keep praying that God continues his healing.
	He is still in a great deal of pain and discomfort, so we appreciate your prayers.
	Yes.
	Thank you all again, and once more, have a great rest of your day.
	And here are two of those three videos because we did go a little bit over time.
	Thank you.
	Biblical analysis of AI.
	And I really do think that it is satanic in its many different attributes.
	And he kind of talks about how the different aspects of it are satanic, how they are anti-Christian, anti-Christ.
	He said, our contemporaries, though unaware of what they call the dangers of AI, do not seem to have considered that they're engaging in and with something that is demonic.
	He said, so Guardian was laughing about the Trump agenda, saying it's an AI America first.
	AI America.
	He says H.G. Wells wrote a novel entitled Men Like Gods.
	Of course, he also did Things to Come, which has become like the technocracy fan fiction fantasy world that people like Elon Musk and his...
	Grandfather Joshua Haldeman all bought into the people who did Technocracy, Inc.
	H.G. Wells was just showing in a movie form what kind of society they wanted, and it is a fascist.
	It has been obvious, he says to every philosopher since the ancient times, that there is an analogy between God's creation of the world and man's creation of artifacts.
	But it wasn't until the thrashing and the threshing steam engines of the late 18th and early 19th century that man began to consider that he himself was a god.
	It's that technology that's there.
	And he talks about how he went to an industrial museum in Sheffield, England.
	He said, Press this button so the kids could watch the machines operate.
	Suddenly, he says, you have this vast armament of pistons and pipes begin grinding and rotating.
	And so it's amazing to watch this.
	But he says, now what do we have?
	You know, we've got these black boxes, really.
	That's what we talk.
	It's this mysterious thing, this black box.
	You can't see any, no moving parts to see.
	Nothing that you can see inside.
	You know, and so he said, You got a Nintendo game console, for example, simply a black miniature monolith to the kids.
	They don't see any moving parts like they would with a steam engine or steampunk stuff, right?
	It's wholly inexplicable.
	It's concealing through the absolute infinitesimal minitude of its components.
	It is a mystery.
	It is all face and no organs.
	And are we now to have a technology that is all mind?
	And no organs.
	AI shall be heated with the great stoves of the nuclear power reactors that we are now suddenly willing to build.
	We wouldn't do it before.
	Now we've got to do it for AI.
	Everything for AI.
	So what is it, he says?
	Let's think about six different aspects of AI.
	He says, first of all, like the serpent, it's subtle.
	Subtle, the serpent talks to the woman.
	And subtlety, the secret advice, the confounding of God's will, the knowledge of their nakedness, their hiding from God.
	It all sounds like AI, because knowledge is power.
	AI talks to us.
	It tells us things that are not true, but things that are subversive of the truth as well.
	Another aspect, the Tower of Babel, he says, for example.
	When you think about what AI can do, it eliminates that barrier.
	That has been there for a very long time.
	The barrier of language.
	You know, I was just seeing just a new AI that came out the other day.
	They were talking about it.
	And it can clone somebody's voice with just two seconds of a sample.
	That in and of itself is not anything new.
	That's been around for a while.
	But it can also then, in the demo that I saw, It clones somebody's voice and you hear the original recording.
	It's maybe two seconds, seven seconds, eight seconds or something like that.
	And then they have some text.
	They had it read it.
	And it reads it and it gets the inflections right and things like that.
	And then they have some Chinese text.
	And they say, okay, now read it in Chinese.
	And it's the same voice reading it in Chinese.
	And of course, it can do this in any language.
	And they have...
	Virtually every language on earth, they can do that.
	So, it's essentially reversing what God did at the Tower of Babel.
	And then the golden calf.
	Remember when the people of Israel, when Moses is getting the Ten Commandments, said, make us a god.
	There's an element of that as well.
	People who are very excited when they talk to Elon Musk and he feeds them the stuff about how we're not only summoning the demon, but it's a god.
	Remember when he had the conversation with Jordan Peterson?
	He goes, yeah, we're making our gods.
	And Jordan Peterson, yeah, yeah, exactly right.
	Yeah, yeah, we're making them, yeah.
	Well, how'd that turn out?
	We're going to melt the gold down and make the people drink it.
	We're going to melt the silicon down and make the people drink it.
	That might not go over as well.
	Anyway, just like the calf, AI is an alternative to God built by a hasty, faithless people as a work of human manufacture, but trying to create something that is higher than ourselves.
	That's the key thing.
	Higher than ourselves.
	So that we can worship it.
	Then Leviathan.
	He says, you know, we see Leviathan in Job.
	Job 38, God says to Job, who is it that darkens counsel without knowledge?
	So the entire terrifying sequence is a mockery of what man claims to know, but that God has created.
	And so he talks about, he says, we consider Leviathan.
	He says, his heart's made of stone.
	On the earth there is none like, there is not his like, who is made without fear.
	King over all the children of pride.
	And, you know, he says famously Thomas Hobbes, when he talked about the state, he used the idea of Leviathan to represent what the state was when he talked about the power of an abusive state in 1651.
	But I tell you, AI is definitely going to be Leviathan.
	It's going to expand the power and the reach of the state in an amazing way.
	He says, but here we may consider it to be AI, indeed the coming king of pride.
	One which speaks of its own account and an entity that is only to be named by God and not by man.
	And he says Satan.
	We see elements of Satan here and the temptation of Christ where he says, fall down and worship me in order to have power over all the world.
	Well, again, it is our will to have power and it is something that we'll ask that we worship it.
	They're already talking about that.
	I mean, you've got AI that's doing legislation.
	You've got AI that's now starting to adjudicate in courts.
	I mean, they're going to have it rule over us.
	And then finally, Antichrist, in the sense that it is opposed to Christ and elevated itself up as God.
	And so, whether it is Antichrist, whether it is the spirit of Antichrist, it is that spirit of opposition.
	And you know when you stop and think about it, You know, we'll have miracles there.
	You know, Elon Musk and these other people are talking about, well, we put a brain-computer interface in, and we can make people who can't walk.
	We can make the lame walk.
	We can make the blind see.
	Yeah, that'll get at worship, won't it?
	He says, dare to argue that AI is not just some composite serpent, babble, calf, Leviathan, Satan, antichrist.
	It tells lies.
	It promises truths that will destroy us.
	It enables us to reach the heavens.
	It appears to function as a god.
	It is the king of the children of pride.
	We have created it, but it is beyond our understanding.
	We must sacrifice to it.
	It tempts us with power and dominion, and it not only denies Jesus, but it stands for Speaking of the peace and safety that only it can give.
	And it speaks all languages.
	Yes, again, and it will create a softness, a dependency, just like the universal basic income and other elements like that, which basically allows us to be tamed into being slight.
	That's right.
	That's right.
	Well, this is kind of a twist.
	You know, we always talk about universal basic income, and we have one guy who stirred a lot of people, got him quite upset because he said he's founding a company that is going to take everybody's job.
	Everybody's job.
	And he's trying to convince us that that's a good thing.
	And a lot of people are pushing back on this, like, well, no, that's not a good thing, because, you know, now he's going to take their jobs as well.
	And he says, oh, no, this is excellent.
	It's already paying top AI researchers to just sit around and not work for the competition.
	But in a sense, when you look at this, universal basic income, I guess we could say, is going to eventually come for the artificial intelligence guys, too, perhaps, right?
	This is a stretch on the non-compete stuff.
	And so they're more than willing, if somebody leaves, just to make sure.
	That they're not going to work for the competition.
	They will pay them for a year.
	And as a lot of these people are saying, the artificial intelligence field is moving so quickly that after a year, yeah, they're pretty obsolete.
	We don't have to worry about that at all.
	So you just put them on the bench for a year.
	And that's the same as taking them out of the industry and making sure that they're not pulling over something that you just discovered.
	I mean, these things are, when you look at it from the standpoint...
	Of image creation and video creation, these different companies are leapfrogging each other on about every two-week basis.
	Not clear who's going to be the leader in all of that.
	But this is coming out of Google, and they call it a garden leave, where basically they keep you in a walled garden and they pay you to stay there.
	And it is, in a sense, in kind of a microcosm, what they're looking to do with universal basic income to everybody.
	So it's this famed AI researcher, they say.
	I don't know who the people are, the players in this.
	This is a guy who's got a lot of, he's very well known.
	He launched a startup to replace all human workers everywhere.
	That's the mission of this company.
	TechCrunch had the story, they said, every now and then a Silicon Valley startup launches with such an absurdly described mission statement.
	That it's difficult to discern if the startup is for real or if it's just satire.
	Except that this guy kind of doubled down on it.
	He's somebody who's very well known in the industry, and he kind of doubled down on it when he got pushback.
	The company is called Mechanize because they're going to mechanize the workforce.
	You're going to be replaced with either chatbots if you've got a white-collar job, or you'll be replaced with robots if you have a blue-collar job.
	The nonprofit AI research organization that he founded is called Epic.
	And a lot of people coming after him on social media.
	It was launched last Thursday, a week ago.
	Via a post on X by its founder, who's a pretty famous AI researcher, according to TechCrunch, he said, you know, the market potential here is absurdly large.
	Workers in the U.S. are paid about $18 trillion per year in aggregate.
	For the entire world, that number's got to be three times greater, maybe $60 trillion per year.
	Well, who's going to pay to buy anything?
	Are the robots going to be buying your product?
	No, you're not going to pay the robots.
	Do these people think this stuff through?
	I mean, it's pretty crazy.
	Yeah, we would all like to see government reduced.
	As I've said before, what made America great?
	You want to make America great again?
	What made it great?
	Well, Trump's answer is it was tariffs in the 1800s.
	No, tariffs did not make America great.
	It was getting the government off of our back.
	It was liberty and freedom.
	Freedom from regulation.
	Freedom from an intrusive, all-intrusive government inserting itself into every aspect of our life.
	Freedom from confiscatory tax rates.
	And instead, what does it give us?
	Another tax.
	So we need our medicines.
	We need our semiconductors.
	We need our electronics to be built in America.
	Let me just pull back while we're talking about this.
	And think about this for a second.
	You know, we can talk about the economics of free trade and all the rest of this stuff, but I want to take a different angle.
	Think about it from an individual standpoint.
	You know, one of the things that the Amish did was they froze their lifestyle in that 1800s style.
	They froze it there because they said, we don't want to be dependent on people on the outside.
	I mean, they really went self-sufficient.
	Now, if you want your semiconductors and your electronics and your pharmaceutical poisons, well, then you are going to have to embrace this kind of society that they have set up.
	On the other hand, if you want a simpler lifestyle, you as an individual need to start thinking about how you're going to essentially enact your own tariff barriers.
	And it's not a tariff barrier, but the Amish didn't say, We're going to make it impossible for products to come in.
	No, instead, what they said was, we want to just focus on what we can do ourselves.
	Now, they're not making semiconductors and flat panel screens, but they make what they need to have a comfortable living, and they have independence, and they have a greater degree of liberty.
	And maybe that's the way we ought to start thinking about this.
	Maybe you ought to start thinking about how This complicated technocracy that they're setting up.
	Maybe we don't need their flat panels and their semiconductors and their electronics.
	Certainly not to the extent we've got it.
	And if we think that we absolutely must have those things, folks, they've got us.
	They've got us on an individual level.
	If we can't live without an iPhone, then we're done.
	Stick a fork in it.
	We're done on an individual level.
	And so I think we need to think about that type of thing.
	Do we really, you know, when we look at TikTok, when we look at 5G, when we look at these other things, what about your security?
	What about your independence or your dependency on these things?
	And so when you're looking at what you can do to make a living, when you're looking at how you can start to support yourself, it's going to be that kind of a choice.
	You're going to have to make a choice, not necessarily between...
	Factories in America, so that you can have a job, or factories in China, so that you can get cheap goods, because these factories that are going to be reshored, these people are going to be using robots.
	They're not going to be using you.
	This is a system that is designed to isolate you from other humans, and it is designed to enslave you and to monitor you like Big Brother.
	Do you really want that?
	For the little conveniences of, you know, flashing lights and all the rest of this stuff.
	I mean, there's a lot of technology that we could freeze at.
	You know, just like the Amish froze at things that, you know, they picked a point in time.
	It isn't necessary to go back to the 19th century.
	There are analog things, and Eric Peters talks about that all the time when you look at cars.
	You know, focus on cars that...
	Or basically analog, not heavily digital.
	Because you don't want those computer chips in your car.
	To the extent that you can get rid of that stuff.
	Look for something that is simple.
	Something that you can fix yourself.
	You can still have a car, but you can...
	Be independent of it.
	And some of that independence can possibly come from your ability to 3D print parts that you might need so that you're not dependent on other people.
	And there's a lot of different ways that you can cut this.
	I'm not telling you, well, we've got to go full Luddite or full Amish.
	I'm just saying if you look at the basic principles that are there, at some point in your life, you need to make a decision as to how you're going to start trying to cut off These dependencies that they're rapidly building up as they build up these IDs to track and trace every single thing that you do.
	And so Ludnik says we can't be beholden and rely upon foreign countries for fundamental things that we need.
	And I would broaden this out and say we can't be beholden and relying on Washington or the Silicon Valley technocrats for the fundamental things that we need.
	Yeah, sure, we can get some things here and there, but for the fundamental stuff, you better start looking at how you can provide this yourself or in community with other people.
	Don't make yourself dependent on Washington and the Silicon Valley technocrats because they want to enslave you.
	That's what I'm saying.
	So, when you start thinking about trade, stop thinking about it in the grand scheme of things and start thinking about it.
	at the local level with all this.
	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.
