Time	Text
	As the clock strikes 13, it is Friday, the 16th of May, year of our Lord, 2025.
	Today we're going to meet the new boss and find out he's just the old boss in a spray tan.
	And while people may be getting tired of the LGBT, it seems they're only getting more bold and insane with time.
	And of course, in the third hour, we're going to be speaking with Gerald Salente, see what's on his agenda.
	Don't miss it.
	Stay with us, folks.
	Stay with us.
	Good morning and thank you all for joining us.
	I hope you're all having a wonderful day.
	Of course, as has become custom, I'll give you an update on how my dad is doing because I'm sure you're all very interested in that.
	Today was the, well, last night was the first night that he wasn't in the cardiovascular ICU after the surgery and he apparently was able to get better rest than he had been.
	Last night was really the first night he got much sleep at all, so hopefully he's feeling better.
	We're going to go visit him today after the show.
	Whistler has been going every single day.
	I have not had the opportunity simply because of the amount of work there is to do with the show and, of course, having a baby takes up a lot of time.
	But we're all going to make the trip out there today, make sure that he's doing all right, let him see little David.
	So it'll be great, but we do continue.
	We do ask that you continue to pray for him.
	Keep lifting him up, asking for healing, and that he be restored to us fully.
	We just do ask that you continue to do that.
	And actually, I got told something right before the show started, that Whistler is going to do a name reveal today.
	So if you want to put your guesses in to get it locked down, we'll do that in the second hour at some point.
	So, that's right.
	Put your guesses in.
	See if you can guess it right.
	Could be a fun little game.
	And I think I'll also do a quick plug.
	I know I haven't gotten in the news yet, but it's never too early to shill.

	And we will be speaking to Gerald Salente later on in the show.
	I also want to plug that on Monday, I will be speaking with Dr. Jane Ruby about what's going on with the FDA.
	So, get excited for that.
	I'm excited.
	So, I think today, when it comes to the news, we're going to start with this article on Breitbart that I found interesting.
	Javier Malay announces overhaul of notoriously open Argentine immigration system.
	I think this is partially just showing, and this is by Christian K. Caruso, Breitbart.
	I think this is showing that across the globe there is immigration fatigue.
	We are all starting to realize that...
	You cannot import an endless number of people from other cultures and maintain your country.
	It will not maintain cohesion.
	You will start to lose your cultural identity, especially when these people are coming in simply for benefits.
	Now, you can get rid of the welfare.
	I don't know exactly what kind of welfare state Argentina has.
	The article when I read it earlier seemed to be implying that if you showed up there without...
	You could just get medical care and they would take care of you.
	And if you didn't have any sort of insurance, it was just on the taxpayer's dime.
	But even if you get rid of the welfare state to some extent, people are still going to show up and want to get in if your country is nice enough.
	Sometimes being homeless on the street in one country is better than living in a house in another.
	So, some of these countries where people come from to come to the United States are so bad that they would still make the trek here, even if you weren't giving them handouts.
	It would drastically cut down on the number of people, but you still have to consider that fact as well.
	It is not the be-all, end-all solution, but it would be a start.
	That would be where you should start, not, you know, militarizing the southern border.
	But let's start here with this article.
	President of Argentina, Javier Malay, on Wednesday signed a necessity and urgency decree, DNU.
	I guess they, uh...
	Huh.
	Bothers me that it's necessity and urgency decree and then it's DNU.
	That's a little bit of a tick, I guess.
	To tighten the nation's migratory policies and crack down on illegal migration, the decree included a provision to ban criminals from entering the country, among other changes.
	Yeah, I don't think anyone could have a problem with that, where if you are already convicted of a crime in another country, we don't want you here.
	Maybe you could look at severity or something like that, but just as a start, banning felons, criminals of a severe nature, should just be the bare minimum.
	We don't want you.
	Thank you.
	Argentina has historically maintained one of the world's most lax immigration systems and highly encouraged European migration in the 19th century to help populate and develop the country.
	That's right.
	They wanted a good class of people to come over and help them.
	They wanted people that were hardworking, that were intelligent, that had already helped build nations other places.
	So they incentivized it and made it easier.
	And that comes back around to the whole welfare thing.
	There are several different types of immigrants.
	People that are trying to move there to improve their life and work hard are generally the type you want, at least in the correct numbers.
	With all the welfare incentives, what you're getting is a lot of people that are just trying to take advantage of the taxpayers.
	Exactly.
	19th century developed the country.
	Article 25 of its constitution, first introduced in 1853, specifically...
	States that the federal government shall foster European immigration and may not restrict, limit, or burden with any tax whatsoever the entry into the Argentine territory of foreigners who arrive for the purpose of tilling the soil, improving industries, and introducing and teaching arts and sciences.
	The Argentine Constitution grants presidents the ability to issue a necessity and urgency decree.
	That is really rankling me.
	Why would it be that way and then the other way?
	Truly.
	People don't make any sense.
	The equivalent of an executive order when there are exceptional circumstances that prevent following the normal procedure for the enactment of laws, with some exceptions such as a tax or electoral related matters.
	That's right.
	Every country seems to have their own version of an executive order.
	And, you know, I'm for this one.
	Argentina deserves to be able to decide who they want in their country.
	You don't want your country flooded with criminals, as we are seeing here in the United States.
	It leads to some very interesting social interactions.
	While DNUs go into effect immediately, the decrees are sent for review to chambers of the Argentine Congress, which can approve or reject it.
	During his first days in office, President Malai signed a DNU that modified or evoked over 350 policies implemented by past socialist administrations.
	Malai seems to be doing some good.
	I know there are questions about his allegiances and where he originally comes from, but this seems to be on the right track.
	I think this is a good move on his part.
	I don't know enough about the way the Argentine government is structured to say whether he is violating any of their laws or however.
	I think this is a good move on his part for the Argentine people, and I hope it helps them.
	The Argentine presidency announced on Wednesday that Malay signed a DNU to carry out a profound modification in the immigration system and bring common sense to the nation's migrant policies.
	Juan Bautista Alberti, late Argentine diplomat, stated that to govern is to populate, and that Argentina, since its origins, has always been a country open to the world.
	A statement from the presidential office read, However, this does not mean that taxpayers should suffer the consequences of foreigners who enter the country only to use and abuse resources that are not theirs, such as the so-called sanitary tours, much less that they should tolerate that they commit crimes.
	And that is, again, I agree with all that.
	You should not be forced to bear the burden of people that come to your country simply to eat out its substances.
	These people are showing up simply so that they can take your resources and get free stuff.
	The extreme facilities that existed to date to enter Argentina caused 1,700,000 foreigners to immigrate irregularly to our territory in the last 20 years.
	The presidency continued, This measure seeks to establish order and common sense in a system that unfortunately and due to the complicity of populist politicians has been distorted.
	The DNU stated that from now on, no convicted foreign national may enter Argentina and foreigners who commit a crime within Argentine territory will be deported regardless of the sentence.
	And I also think that's fair.
	Again, I think if you do commit a crime in a country, they are well within their rights to immediately throw you out, regardless of severity.
	I do think you should be given due process so they make sure that you actually did commit the crime.
	But I think if you do commit crimes in the country and are found guilty...
	Immediately.
	Just wherever.
	Throw you out.
	That's fine with me.
	Regardless of the sentence, the Argentine presidency noted that offenses with sentences of less than five years, which were previously not grounds for refusal of entry or deportation, will now be taken into account.
	So they're really cracking down.
	Simple.
	Simple, folks.
	The decree establishes that the payment of health services will be required for transitory, temporary, and irregular residents and will also be mandatory to have medical insurance when entering Argentina.
	As I said before last night, it seemed to be implying that people will just show up into Argentina so that they can get medical care.
	And they have been covering medical care for a lot of illegals as well, it would seem, which we are also doing here in the United States, which is just insane.
	We are bearing an enormous burden and foisting it onto the American taxpayer.
	Your tax dollars are being used for all kinds of insanity.
	Whether they're funding wars or taking care of people that showed up here illegally, it is always something that benefits none of the American people.
	It is always something that takes from them.
	Tony Garrett, freeloader's not welcome.
	There's enough of our own.
	Exactly.
	I want to be a freeloader, you know.
	I don't need this level of competition.
	How can I get free stuff if all the free stuff is already being given to Africans and people from Central and South America and those dastardly Canadians importing all that fentanyl?
	How am I supposed to get my free stuff when it's already all given away?
	Doug to 007.
	It only makes sense that we want to control who immigrates into our country.
	We want people who will integrate and become productive members of society.
	It's literally that simple.
	There are certain cultures that mesh well together, certain people groups that are able to integrate well, but many, many cultures do not integrate well.
	Many of them come from places where they have no concept of liberty and no concept of personal rights, personal freedoms, and responsibility.
	Really that simple.
	It is just that some people make better citizens for other countries.
	And I am of the opinion that if they want to live their lives in such a way, they are free to do that, but they are free to do that in their own country.
	If you don't want to take your personal responsibility for your own life and simply want to get a free ride, you're not welcome here.
	If that's how you want your country to be run.
	Fine.
	I have no interest in enforcing, you know, democratic republicanism on you.
	I have no interest in making the world safe for democracy or any other form of government.
	I think every people group deserves to decide for themselves how they want to be governed.
	I do not think the U.S. should go abroad and enforce our way of life on people.
	But if you come here, yes, you should be forced to conform to the standards of the society you live in.
	During the year 2023, medical care to foreigners in national hospitals implied an approximate expenditure of 114 billion pesos, roughly $100.7 million.
	The Argentine presidency said, This measure aims to guarantee the sustainability of the public health system so that it ceases to be a profit center financed by our citizens.
	That's right.
	The Argentine people are sick and tired of paying for others to come there and get free health care.
	I wonder what other citizens might be sick and tired of that as well.
	Seems to be going around.
	The reforms also authorize Argentine public universities, if they choose to do so, to establish fees for temporary residents.
	The Argentine presidency pointed out that free access to primary and secondary education is maintained for all residents who may continue to have access to it in the same way as Argentine citizens, as per Article 20 of the Constitution.
	Wow, they're still giving out free education.
	Interesting, interesting.
	I'd be curious as to the reason on that.
	I suppose they think that an educated population is worth a little bit of sacrifice.
	Lastly, the DNU tightens their requirements for obtaining Argentine citizenship as they always should have been and will only be granted if a person has continuously resided in the country for two years or has made relevant investments in Argentina.
	That still seems like a very, very small ask when it comes to being a citizen.
	Only two years of residency and just the means to support yourself, that is not a big ask, I don't think.
	That seems very, very simple and easy to accomplish.
	But I think this will be a good thing for the people of Argentina.
	I hope that this ends up helping their country.
	Again, Javier, there are some questions about Javier Malai, but this seems to be a good move on his part.
	I hope it helps the people of Argentina.
	But let's move on.
	This article was on ericpetersautos.com, epautos.com.
	Eric Peters, of course, great friend of the show, great friend of my dad.
	Just a very, very intelligent man.
	Why the tax on property is the worst tax?
	I can vividly remember the first time I learned about property tax.
	I was probably about seven or eight years old.
	I had, you know, as kids do, you just kind of wander around the house looking for, you know, entertainment or for something to do in general.
	And I had wandered into my dad's office and he was in there and he was working on taxes.
	So he was not in the best of moods, but, you know, he was...
	All right.
	He was just doing paperwork.
	And I just, as kids do, you have no concept of leaving people alone.
	So I just wandered up to him, like, hey, you know, what you doing?
	He's like, oh, I'm working on taxes.
	I'm like, hmm, okay.
	What taxes are you working on?
	Not that I understand anything about taxes.
	Just looking for more information.
	He says, I'm doing property taxes.
	I asked him, well, what are property taxes?
	He says, well, you know how I bought this house?
	And I said, yeah.
	Well, I have to pay the government every year for it.
	I said, well, you know, when do you stop have to pay?
	He says, never.
	And that shattered my, you know, child brain.
	Because I thought, you know, oh, you buy a house, you own a house.
	That's your house.
	But at that moment, I realized that you can never actually own property.
	That if you stop renting it from the government, they will come and they will kick you off it.
	Men with guns will take you away and then auction it off.
	And ever since then, property tax has always been something that has bothered me because it means that you never truly own anywhere.
	You are just renting from the federal government.
	and The article starts with, It does not change the fact.
	To call this robbery taxation.
	Of course, that is what they call this robbery taxation to give it a patina of legitimacy.
	But there's a worse form of taxation slash robbery.
	It is so-called property tax, which is worse because it pretty much forces the victim to work forever to earn the income to pay this tax after taxes in order to avoid being evicted from what can never be his home exactly.
	It is just setting you up to be a renter forever.
	You must continue to...
	Earn money, even no matter how old you get, you must have enough money to pay your property taxes or they will throw you out into the street.
	The government does not care that you worked for.
	Even, let's say you're 90 years old, they will come and they will boot you out of your home that you have worked for your entire life.
	Because the government does not care.
	It is an unfeeling monster.
	Wally Walrus, we rent our property from the school district.
	Yes, your property taxes go to fund your schools.
	Despite how awful they are, you would think that they could do more with the amount of money that they take from you every single year.
	But we all know that the schools are not actually set up to teach kids anything.
	They're there to indoctrinate kids, brainwash them, and get them used to a brutalizing system that does not care about them.
	It is to train them to be good little serfs.
	But yes, your taxes do allegedly fund, well, they do directly fund the schools, but I'm sure that money gets siphoned off in other ways, too.
	So...
	Never own your property so that the seminaries of Satan, as Dad calls them, can continue to indoctrinate people into trannyism and other such things.
	Exactly, and I see we have a comment from iHandy, you will own nothing and be happy.
	Klaus Schwab, that's right.
	Klaus is, I'm sure, relaxing on a beach somewhere, having a great time.
	He's passed off.
	He's passed the torch to...
	I can't remember that guy's name.
	I have a very hard time with names, people.
	The fact that I can remember any of them at all is truly a miracle.
	I have met some of my wife's friends about ten times, and I think I can remember like three or four names at this point.
	And it's a problem.
	It is a problem for me.
	But Handy, it is great to see you.
	I hope you're doing well.
	And Handy, as you know, is EMT.
	Does a lot of great work.
	And he has a Substack.
	So I believe it's iHandy at Substack.com.
	So go check that out.
	He writes a lot of good articles.
	DKFam25.
	My dad...
	This is actually my wife.
	My dad sold all of his belongings and bought an RV.
	He traveled as long as he could, but now he lives in an RV park.
	He's never been so happy.
	That's right.
	My wife's dad is a really interesting guy.
	He's a lot of fun and has done a lot of things with his life.
	Really very interesting man.
	And yes, he has loved traveling and he now has a great time at the RV park he lives in.
	He's got a lot of cool neighbors and they occasionally switch out and rotate.
	He is one of the most popular people there and the dogs all know him and come over for treats.
	One would be free, in other words.
	And if it were possible to actually own a home in this country, as by having paid off the mortgage, the owner of that home would not need to work very much anymore because it would take not much income to provide for life's necessities, such as food and so on.
	It would be possible to not have to generate any income at all if one were to grow slash raise food on one's land and barter for whatever else we needed.
	One would be free, in other words.
	That's right.
	That's what they truly object to.
	It's your freedom.
	They don't want you free.
	They want you dependent.
	They want you to continually have to come to them for handouts, and they will gradually take more and more and more until everyone is only left on welfare or a universal basic income.
	Lower the population to manageable levels so that there's no chance of resistance and to make sure that you are all utterly dependent on daddy government to come and save you from everything.
	Nibiru, 2029.
	Public schools are a welfare employment system with a job title of the collectivist.
	Yes, one thing that's always been funny to me is each year the school systems get worse and worse.
	The test scores go down and down, and the only solution they can think of is, well, we need to pay people more.
	It's like, why would you pay a failing employee more?
	Your employee continually underperforms, under delivers, and you think that handing them a bigger check is going to improve things?
	Maybe they're just not cut out for the job.
	And there's just the fact that we've seen the type of people that end up in school.
	It's generally a 20-something woman with dyed hair and awful piercings that wants to teach your kids nothing but about the LGBT propaganda.
	They have an agenda, and it is simply all about warping children's minds.
	E-pigeon, 2525, can't live in an RV on land here, can't have chickens.
	That is, the government continually puts more and more restrictions on anything you do, anywhere you go.
	They want to make sure that they lock you down in place and make it impossible for you to grow your own food.
	Just anything.
	Everything.
	Anything you can imagine will be criminalized in the future.
	And then they'll have some kind of AI running predictive crime program so that they can bust you for things before you even do them.
	It's great that many people have found personal freedom in RV parks or whatever.
	it's really a shame that people are being forced to do that in order to not have the constant drain of property taxes.
	Yeah, the Yeah.
	Again, just like I said, when I learned about property taxes, it utterly broke my little child mind just to know that I would be renting forever.
	That whether I built my own house, whether I bought a house from someone else, or whether I lived in an apartment, it eventually all comes back to the same thing.
	You will be paying on it forever.
	You don't own the property.
	You simply rent it.
	We no longer have any control over us.
	They could not force much upon a man who owned his land and so was free to not deal with them, them being the people who think other people are theirs to control and to use as serfs, or used by the Lord back in feudal times.
	In feudal times, the serfs were allowed to live on a piece of land so long as they handed over a portion of the fruits of their labor to the Lord, who was the one who owned the land and the serfs.
	The serfs existed at the sufferance of the Lord, and the serfs understood their position vis-a-vis the Lord.
	And I think to some extent it may have been even easier being a serf because your livelihood was directly tied to the land you rented on.
	It was not some vague, convoluted nonsense of You know, the economy that we have today where, you know, you have to get some obscure degree and end up in a job that has no real meaning anything.
	You at least got the satisfaction of working the land that you were on and seeing the benefits of that.
	Whereas today, you know, a lot of people sit at computers and punch numbers in for other people and it's all very disconnected and irrational.
	In my opinion, leads to depression and other things like that because it's very hard to see how anything is connected and how your job actually impacts society in any sort of way.
	Is this not the state of the homeowner in this country today?
	It is nuts.
	Is it not sad?
	It is not...
	Sad and ridiculous to speak of him as a homeowner.
	Is his name on a title any more meaningful than a name on a rental contract?
	The renter knows he must pay rent in order to not find himself in the street.
	Is it not the same for the homeowner?
	It is worse, actually, because if the renter does not pay rent, he's only out in the street.
	He does not lose what he never thought of as his home.
	The homeowner who fails to pay the rent not only finds himself in the street, he finds himself robbed of the value of what he naively considered to be his home.
	She was allowed to believe he owned until the day it was seized on account of his failure to hand over the rent.
	Yes, that's right.
	When you're renting, you directly understand that if you do not pay the rent, they will throw you out.
	Plus, I've never seen the government come to fix your hot water heater or do any work on the house that you're paying them rent for.
	Yeah, that's right.
	At least...
	To some extent, when you rent, there's this assumption that they will provide some level of services to you to maintain the quality of things and make sure that things still work.
	When you own your own home, you are continually paying to fix and upkeep anything around you that is broken.
	And then, of course, as Eric points out, you don't pay.
	They boot you out and you lose what you have worked so hard for your entire life.
	There's also the matter that...
	Property taxes essentially amount to an unrealized capital gains tax, where if the value of properties around you is going up, then your rent is going to be going up as well.
	It's not something where you could sell it off at the end and pay taxes on the increase.
	You have to pay increased rent the entire time.
	Yeah, the entire system is just massively screwy.
	So long as whoever owns the home continues to pay the rent, America will never be a free country again until Americans can be free again.
	And no man or woman can ever be free in any meaningful sense when they can never own more than the shirt on their backs, if they're allowed that.
	That's right.
	I think this is a great article by Eric Peters.
	Of course, I really enjoy...
	I've always enjoyed the interviews that my dad does with him.
	I really enjoyed the interview I got to do with him on Friday.
	He's a very, very interesting man and has spent his entire life fighting for freedom, much like our dad has.
	So I encourage you to go check out that article and encourage you to check out more articles on epautos.com.
	Now, we're going to take a quick break, and when I come back, I'm going to take a little look at the encroachment of technology into...
	Just more and more ridiculous parts of our lives.
	So, you know, stay with us.

	Thank you.

	Smart tech that is invading our daily lives, which I find to be utterly absurd.
	But we've got some comments here.
	Soylent Goy, good to see you.
	Maybe the government thinks the basics of Maslow's hierarchy of needs aren't expensive enough.
	As a society, the majority are perpetually stuck at the bottom of Maslow's pyramid.
	That's right.
	Continually grinding and trying to eke out the basic necessities of life.
	They make it harder and harder to rise from that level and make sure that you cannot become more financially stable.
	If you are continually just barely making it, you barely, you don't really have time to focus on anything else.
	You have a hard time trying to make society better when you simply are struggling to survive.
	Right Overture.
	Good to see you.
	That's right.
	Every single year.
	Every single year, things get more expensive and worse.
	I can vividly remember...
	Being a kid and being excited for some toy or other, and then you actually get to open it up, and it's just this cheap Chinese junk, and immediately, immediately, the excitement evaporates.
	Soylent Goy, again.
	Housing costs go up as the value of the dollar goes down while wages remain stagnant.
	It's a hamster wheel, the endless cheese chasing.
	That's right.
	And it's not even very good cheese anymore, you know?
	Not even good cheese.
	Ride Overture.
	Surf's up.
	Alright, so let's look at a little bit of banal smart tech that I think is once more going to steal joy from people.
	This is on Wired and the best smart bird feeders for backyard birding.
	These bird feeders with cameras and connected apps let you see and learn about birds in your neighborhood.
	That's right, folks.
	You can get a smart bird feeder that has a little camera which will take pictures of the bird as it eats.
	And while, again, this is somewhat interesting, and I'm sure there is a use case for this, I guess, I kind of feel that some of the interest in birding and going out and cataloging the birds you can see is getting out into nature and exploring and being out in nature.
	This is yet another way that technology is creeping into every hobby that you can have.
	You know, putting extra unsecured cameras that are connected to the internet on your property is a really great idea just to get some extra pictures of birds.
	I'm sure it's nothing that this is going to provide so much better quality photos than something that just automatically takes pictures when a bird lands like a regular trail cam.
	Yeah, again, just more smart technology that you have to hook up to your Wi-Fi, which can give people access and could potentially lead to them being able to watch you.
	Odds are, at this point, you've probably seen or know someone who has a smart bird feeder.
	Really?
	I would not feel confident in saying that at all.
	Yeah, odds are you know someone with a smart bird feeder.
	I don't think I know anyone with a smart bird feeder.
	They're fairly recognizable from a distance with their clear housings, cameras, and solar panels.
	Yes, they are an eyesore.
	If you actually look at that picture, this thing is ugly.
	We should start calling the smart refrigerators smart human feeders.
	Exactly.
	They can put a clear window in there so you can just see the food.
	But yes, this thing is hideously ugly.
	Part of the joy of birdwatching is just how pretty birds are.
	And this...
	This piece of plastic garbage just is such an eyesore.
	And I get that what they're going for is it takes the picture of the bird and that's what you're looking at.
	But it steals some of the joy of sitting there and watching birds if they are in an ugly environment.
	I can remember when we would go over to our great aunt's house.
	We would hang out over there with her sometimes.
	She had a bunch of bird feeders set out right outside her kitchen window.
	And it was a lot of fun to sit there and watch the birds and the squirrels come to eat the bird seed.
	The squirrels ended up getting more of the bird seed than the birds always did, but that was the price you paid.
	You had to deal with some squirrel tax.
	And it was a very nice little bird feeder and looked like a tiny house.
	And this is just a plastic piece of crap.
	And I am just blown away.
	How ugly everything is getting in our society, even down to our bird feeders.
	Do kids still make bird feeders in shop class if there are still shop classes?
	I never went to public school.
	I only ever, you know, heard about kids making things in shop class such as bird feeders or bird houses.
	So I would be surprised if there even is a shop class anymore that's probably too hands-on and useful.
	So in Goy, it's almost like they don't want this generation to be able to afford a family.
	Almost.
	Yeah, it's almost like that.
	It's almost like everything the government does is meant to make your life worse, more expensive, more base, and remove you from any ability to have upward mobility.
	Be my valentine.
	Also, the endless permits required to do upgrades to your own property.
	Yeah, there's continually stories where...
	Some guy is denied the ability to fix his house in some way or other.
	The amount of bureaucracy involved in anything you want to do with your home is truly a nightmare.
	And that's not even talking about HOAs, which are just, you know, more bureaucracies that people opt into of their own free will, which is truly absurd.
	HOAs, no one ever has a good story about an HOA.
	So if you're looking for someplace to buy and you're thinking about getting someplace that has an HOA, I have only ever heard of them as nightmarish and, you know, the worst types of people get involved with them.
	Busybodies that want to control your life.
	So if you could get away from an HOA, do it.
	I've never had to deal with them, thankfully.
	I was always too young.
	And Max, BlackRock and friends are buying up the property management companies and jacking up rates so you can't pay and they can take over your property through HOA fees.
	Even Mobile Home Parks see a lot of rental fees of $1,600.
	Yes, BlackRock and other companies like that are continually buying up land through different other companies that they own.
	They are slowly buying the world and they will make sure that it is unaffordable for all of us.
	Dougalug.
	At Whistler, what is the name of the song David made with the hand-clapping rhythm?
	Inquiring minds want to know.
	We have it labeled here as UnSquared Dance, I believe that's the one.
	Yeah, that's the one.
	We have it labeled as UnSquared Dance.
	I don't know if that's the actual name of it, or if that's what he just calls it.
	It's UnSquared Dance by Dave Brubeck.
	Yes, Dave Brubeck.
	Yeah, so there you go.
	Thank you, Star Barkley.
	See, you guys know more about this than we do.
	We barely have time to learn this stuff with everything that's going on.
	But hope that helped, Dougalug.
	Yeah.
	NMAX, turning everything into rentals, even software.
	Mobile home parks used to let you buy your lot with a great reset.
	The Jews want to own everything and let you rent so you have no assets.
	That's right.
	And while I don't think it is only the Jews that are interested in that, and it's a large coalition of evil people from every single racial group is probably represented, there are a lot of them.
	So, yes, they want to take everything from you.
	They want you a permanent renter.
	Barely scraping by.
	Not able to make ends meet.
	They want to reduce your life to the meanest, most base possible sense.
	They want to make it so that you are alone and unable to ever contemplate having a family.
	That is how these things go.
	Yeah.
	I thought this, again, just the bird feeder, I thought this was insane.
	Just simply removing more personal activity.
	Star Barkley.
	Wow.
	Thank you for the tip.
	That is incredibly generous.
	Glad to hear David is getting some sleep.
	Praying night and day for that especially.
	All nutritional experts say sleep is the key to optimal health and healing.
	Here's a little for the kitty, too.
	Thank you so much, Star Barkley.
	That is incredibly generous.
	Yes, last night was the first night that he was able to get any semblance of real rest.
	It has been extremely hard on him to not be able to sleep.
	You know how hospitals are.
	There's always some kind of noise, whether it's machines beeping or whirring or, you know.
	Nurses in and out, other people who are in a lot of pain not being able to deal with it.
	Speaking of kitties, there's actually a cat that's been showing up on our back porch continually.
	That is completely off topic, but my wife and I are contemplating ways to make friends.
	We are going to find out how.
	But yeah.
	That's basically my entire thoughts on the bird feeder.
	It is just another way to keep you inside, keep you from actually going out and exploring God's creation and simply another piece of smart device crap that will be a hazard to your network.
	So, don't get a smart bird feeder.
	If you want to go watch birds, go out and walk around or install just a regular bird feeder and actually sit there and enjoy it.
	KWD-68.
	Be your own smart bird feeder.
	That's right.
	If you pour bird seed into your mouth and leave it open, birds will eventually land on your face and you can feed them that way.
	This is a real pro tip.
	I've done it many times.
	You can trust me on this.
	I would never lie to you.
	I would never make stuff up out of whole cloth.
	I am trustworthy in every single way.
	And more about...
	Technology and how its encroachment on our lives is a net negative for everyone we have here from the Daily Mail.
	Keyhacking, now behind three and five car thefts.
	Here's how to protect your motor.
	That's right.
	This is getting worse as time goes on, as the technology to do so becomes more and more proliferated out to people that have bad intentions.
	Car key hacking is now behind the majority of thefts.
	New figures show three in five vehicles stolen are now broken into this way.
	Analysis of Office of National Statistics data by RTA Law has found the percentage of vehicle thefts caused by someone manipulating the signal from a remote locking device has rocketed from 13% between April 2018 and March 2019 to 58%.
	Between April 2023 and March 2024, up to 58% from 13%.
	This is already the main way that they gain access to vehicles and steal them.
	These devices have become basically endemic to the job of car stealing.
	Car key hacking is achieved by intercepting, copying, amplifying, and replacing wireless signals sent between a vehicle's remote key and its security system.
	It seems the more technology that is integrated into everything, the more likely it is that it becomes insecure.
	Funny how that works.
	Usually criminals will use devices designed to capture or boost the keys transmitted, allowing them to unlock or even start the vehicle without physical access to the original key.
	Rod Mitchell from RTA Law said the quadrupling of car key hacking cases is shocking.
	As a general rule, criminals are lazy, and if there's an easy way to do something, criminals will take that way.
	And simply copying the signal from your car key is about as easy as it gets.
	All they have to do is loiter in a place where people are routinely unlocking cars, and boom.
	Simple as that.
	Narrow way, narrow gate ministries.
	Any video camera, Wi-Fi enabled can be hijacked to be used against you.
	That's right.
	That's right.
	There is nothing that is connected to the internet that is truly secure.
	There is no system that is unhackable.
	There are simply systems that haven't been hacked yet.
	That's the way it goes.
	He said, It really shows that we always need to be thinking one step ahead when technological advances take place to keep ourselves and our belongings safe.
	Yeah, and it's how do you, you know, they recommend you can keep your Keys in Faraday cages or, you know, other ways of blocking the signal.
	But, you know, if you keep your key in a Faraday cage, you can't unlock your car.
	So that only protects it from being skimmed passively, not when you are actively trying to use it.
	So that is somewhat of a solution, but that is not a real long-term solution for these things.
	You eventually do have to unlock your car and get into it, right?
	You know?
	It's not just a lawn ornament.
	You actually want to take it someplace.
	Which is why, again, cities are just the worst.
	There are far higher concentrations of criminals there simply because that's where more people are.
	The more people there are, the more criminals will show up to try to rob those people.
	It comes after it was announced in February that anyone caught with sophisticated electronic gadgets used in car thefts faced up to five years in prison under a new law to crack down on high-tech vehicle crime.
	Four people could only be prosecuted if there was proof that they had used them to commit a crime.
	The crime and policing bill introduced to Parliament a ban on possession, sale, and distribution of gadgets such as signal jammers and relay devices which are deployed by organized gangs and motor thieves to target high-value vehicles.
	That's right.
	Again, this is...
	This is reaching into pre-crime territory in England, where if you're simply caught with one of these devices, you can be sentenced.
	No need to have committed a crime with them.
	And for all I know, there may be no real use cases for these beyond committing crimes.
	I don't know exactly what else you can do with these things beyond stealing cars.
	But still, if they haven't committed a crime yet, simply possessing one of these things should not be enough to send them to prison.
	Ed, you really have to wonder about how well this law is written by politicians that have no idea what they're talking about in terms of tech stuff.
	For instance, I believe car keys use both infrared and radio signals, but I recently got just a little fob that plugs into my phone that will...
	Send out infrared signals so that you can accept and then relay infrared signals so you can use all different remotes that are infrared and then create your own custom remote based off of that.
	It's just a convenience thing, but that is half of the stuff you need to hack into a car.
	So are they going to say that that is a hacking tool?
	Because it can be used as one.
	I mean, I'm sure eventually.
	As you said, none of these politicians really know any of the details about what's going on.
	They are so far out of touch and generally much older than the people they're governing and don't understand the world as it is today.
	To be fair, I don't really understand these things either.
	Thank you so much.
	Do not obey.
	That is very kind and very generous.
	We thank you all for the support.
	It has been truly wonderful and such a blessing.
	God bless David Knight and his family.
	May God bring David comfort in his recovery.
	We miss you.
	Get well.
	Yes, thank you all for praying.
	It is...
	It is the best thing that we can do.
	We know that all healing is in God's hands, and we are just lifting Him up and continually praying for a full and speedy recovery.
	And we ask that you all do the same.
	Thank you all.
	Thank you all so much.
	Rarely, devices have become an even greater problem for motorists and police, with gangs able to use them to extend the signal of a car key inside someone's home to the vehicle car.
	So, the vehicle car be unlocked and driven away without detection.
	Okay, that's a little bit of a problem with the way that's written there.
	One car was pinched every eight and a half minutes last year in Britain, so the aim is that the new laws will be stopped.
	Will stop these devices getting in the hands of the criminals.
	That's right, folks, because criminals follow laws.
	This guy, the car thief, is going to look at the fact that...
	You know, oh, the device that he uses to steal the car is illegal.
	And he's going to be like, aw, shucks.
	Aw, darn.
	Gosh darn it, guys.
	They outlawed the signal jam, the interceptor thing.
	How can we steal cars now?
	It's truly incredible to me that, again, it goes back to gun control, that people will look at gun control and think it is in any way effective when...
	Simply the fact that criminals don't obey laws.
	It's that simple.
	You are not going to convince them to turn in their guns.
	I have always found that to be such a break in logic.
	But, you know, gun control is never a logical argument.
	It's always an emotional one.
	The most common methods of car key hacking.
	Criminals manipulating the signal from a locking device was the most common method of entry.
	The second most common method of entry was using a key or electric fob, 18% of cases.
	But this has dropped significantly from April 2018 to March 2019 when it made up 33% of cases.
	So as technology advances, the way they steal cars changes.
	And of course, this is only possible because every single car now has an electronic fob that unlocks it.
	Normally those also have a key inside them that you can use to unlock the door, but that is not the main way people unlock their cars anymore.
	Almost every single person just clicks lock or unlock on the fob, and of course we're seeing that it has consequences.
	The technological creep of things has given rise to new and interesting ways of stealing your car.
	So, as you can see here in the article, it says, keeping your keyless fob in a tin will block the signal and prevent the use from duplicating it to break into your vehicle.
	And it's a very cheap hack to know.
	Yes, but again, this only works if you are keeping the key in the tin, which you eventually have to take it out to use the key fob.
	This is not an actual solution.
	This is simply a way of preventing it from being passively skimmed at some point.
	But they can still intercept the signal when you take it out to use it.
	Keeping it in a tin means that it is not being a key.
	It is simply a weight.
	It is not performing its function.
	Plus, if you've got to put it in some Faraday cage any time you're not using it, how is this any more convenient than just having a physical key that you have to pull out anyway?
	At that point, just get rid of the fob and simply use the key to unlock your car because it is probably, as Whistler said, less of a hassle than just carrying a Faraday cage or a tin around you at all times just to keep your key in so you're not getting skimmed.
	Keep keys away from windows.
	The second is to store keys away from doors and windows.
	Keeping your car keys in a secure location.
	That's right.
	Build a bunker to house your car keys in, folks.
	Bury them underneath your house and only pull them out when you're going someplace.
	Until then, keep them secure and locked up tight.
	Disable keyless entry when parked overnight.
	So, go in and figure out how to make sure that your car needs to be unlocked with a physical key overnight.
	In which case...
	You're going to have to do this every single night, so maybe just keep it off and simply unlock with a physical key all the time, as was said.
	But yes, I thought this was just another interesting case of technological creep and how it is making our lives less and less secure and more and more annoying.
	Now, I also saw this.
	This is on Zero Hedge.
	Trump moves to rescind appliance efficiency standards.
	And I saw in Futurism they were wringing their hands about this and completely and utterly distraught that Trump would remove this when it has saved the Americans so much.
	It saved America so much money over time.
	But again, all these policies come with downsides.
	And the downsides for these is that these Energy Star appliances are less reliable.
	And continually less efficient when it actually comes to doing their job that they're supposed to do.
	So while they may use less energy, you may have to run your washing machine multiple times or your dryer multiple times simply because they are trying to get these functions to work on a level of power that it just does not work on.
	There is a minimum of power that things are required to use to efficiently do their job.
	We have continually dealt with dryers that you put something in there and you run it for a full cycle and it comes out still damp so you have to put it back in and you end up using it twice instead of the once you would have.
	We've got some comments from Kik.
	IHandy, my property and city taxes both doubled last year.
	I can't wait to see what this year brings.
	Oh yes, I'm sure that's us.
	Anytime we can...
	I'm always excited to see what new ways the government is going to screw us over and how they're going to raise taxes.
	It's always such a great time of year when you get to know how the city government is going to ruin your life.
	Again, just sit there like, oh boy, oh boy, it's Christmas.
	I can't wait.
	Real Octo spook.
	Cops will be confiscating bird feeder pics to catch criminals.
	Yeah, that is for sure true at some point.
	someone is going to get caught on camera on a bird feeder and they will confiscate your little bird feeder and your, you know, cardinals and finches and everything will have to file a complaint with the police office and a request to have it back.
	Dougda007, the camera takes all the fun out of bird watching.
	Don't bother sitting on your porch and watching for interesting birds.
	We have this camera that will do the It, uh...
	Divest you of personal responsibility when it comes to going out and actually investigating and finding the birds to watch.
	It also makes it a very...
	I don't know.
	The way I see it is something along the lines of how when you have a song on an mp3, it makes it less likely that you're going to sit there and actually listen to the song.
	Whereas if you play it on a record player and you know that...
	It is a lot of work to reset the record or go back to the beginning of the song.
	When the song that you really want to hear comes on, you actually sit and pay attention to it, whereas the immediate access makes it not special.
	So I see it's something along those lines.
	I handy shop class was taken away when I was in 8th grade.
	Okay, so they don't do shop class anymore.
	So all those TV shows and...
	Specials and movies showing shop class have lied to me.
	Again, I know nothing about public school.
	I think the only time I was even in a public school building was when we went to a church or some churches, multiple over the years, that actually held services in them rather than pay for their own buildings.
	I think that's the only time we've ever been in a public school.
	Yeah, we never went and did anything there.
	Back to this article from Zero Hedge.
	President Donald Trump on May 9th moved to rescind appliance energy efficiency standards, calling them unnecessary radical green agenda policies.
	Well, he's right on that.
	In a memo to the Secretary of the Department of Energy, Trump said, Water conservation requirements for faucets, showers, baths, and toilets make bathroom appliances more expensive and less functional.
	That's right.
	When the entire purpose of something is to deliver water to you, it is a conflict in terms of what it is supposed to be doing when they say, you know what?
	We can make it deliver less water.
	It's like, well, great.
	Why would I want a faucet that gives me less water?
	That's the entire reason I have a faucet, to deliver water.
	Very, very stupid.
	Efficiency standards render other American appliances like clothes washers and dishwashers less useful, more breakable, and more expensive to repair.
	That's right.
	All these systems that they put in place and all these gadgets that they put into your appliances make them more likely to break.
	So the repairman has to show up more frequently or you just end up having to buy a new one.
	It's planned obsolescence, but also with the downside of making your.
	The White House said in a fact sheet on Trump's memo, the federal government should not impose or enforce regulations that make taxpayers' lives worse.
	My goodness, is that the most true statement I've ever seen come out of someone from government?
	However, remains to be seen what else they will do.
	As Joseph Lord reports for the Epoch Times, the memo orders Energy Secretary Chris Wright to review and rescind rules limiting water use in showerheads, faucets, dishwashers, toilets, urinals, and washing machines or return these rules to the bare minimum required by the Energy Policy Act of 1992.
	1992, the year I was born.
	Good year.
	Good year.
	The executive order will have a major effect.
	On the Energy Star program, which is managed by the EPA in coordination with the Department of Energy, under the program, the EPA establishes energy efficiency guidelines and appliances in a given category that meet these specifications can display the Energy Star logo.
	That's right.
	If you are a good little boy that does what they say and you make your appliances worse, they give you a little sticker to put on them so you can go, hey, look at me.
	I'm a good little boy.
	I do what the government says.
	Trump said that his directive would help increase the effectiveness of bathroom products, saying that standards imposed in the aftermath of the 1992 legislation had reduced consumer choice and made products less functional than they were before the legislature.
	That's right.
	It also reduces consumer choice in the fact that some companies will not be able to manufacture and add these things in there.
	Smaller companies are always driven out of business by government over legislation and things like this.
	These larger companies, no matter whether it's cars or appliances or standards and anything else, it's easy for larger companies to eat a loss as they figure it out, whereas a smaller company is just going to have to fold if they cannot make ends meet under the new legislation.
	We've seen this with the automotive industry for a long time, how the major companies have always pushed for more stringent regulations and safety devices in all their cars, so that there cannot be any small car companies popping up anymore.
	It's gotten to the point where it's regulated out of what's possible.
	Yeah, that's right.
	The more regulations you put on things, the harder it is to comply with them.
	And again, that's why...
	That's why restaurants are continually trying to implement more standards and more rules so that you cannot open your own small restaurant, but they are free to maintain their business because they have multiple millions of dollars to burn on these sorts of things.
	A few years ago, there was, uh, Elio and, uh, Aptera, a few, uh, companies that tried to, uh, start selling cars that were manufactured in America, and, uh, I think most of them had to go with a three-wheel design because that could be classified as a motorcycle so they could get around some of the ridiculous safety regulations that are put on cars because they just could not afford to do all that.
	They were making or tried to make decent cars that were probably much safer than anything from, you know, two decades prior which were already perfectly safe, but...
	Because of the constant creep of the safety regulations, they weren't able to make a four-wheeled car with that style and level of safety features.
	Yeah, just over-regulation, keeping people out of the market.
	That's what they are trying to do.
	Shield your eyes.
	The CIA probably has a device that is a master key to all modern cars.
	I would not be surprised if they did not have something like that.
	I think that seems to be a very simple thing to make when you've got that, you know, an unlimited amount of money, a budget that has no bottom.
	I'm sure you can pay one of your engineers to manufacture something like that.
	I don't know enough about the way the systems work, but that seems so well, so within the realm of possibilities that I would be shocked to find they don't have something along those No truth in them.
	We had master fobs that worked on multiple cars.
	And see?
	That technology already exists, to some extent, I guess, within at least...
	You know, different car models in the same car brand.
	I would imagine that it's not too difficult to make it function for multiple different car brands.
	We see ultra-efficient washing machines.
	Machines cost at least $100 more, according to the Department of Energy.
	White House fact sheet states updated dishwasher regulations caused those appliances to take two hours or more to complete a normal load of dishes, about twice the time of pre-standards models.
	So they have doubled the amount of time it takes for these things to run, which is, of course, just a nuisance and a drain on your time.
	To be fair, I've always liked hand-washing dishes.
	I've always found it something that I enjoy, and it's kind of a relaxing endeavor for me to get to stand there, get to see things get clean in real time.
	It's a sort of immediate gratification thing for me.
	But, you know, we're going to take a quick break.
	Stay with us.
	PIANO PLAYS
	Defending the American Dream.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	Welcome back.
	Thanks for still being here with us.
	We've got some comments.
	NMAX.
	Property taxes, raised home prices, high mortgage rates, higher insurance rates, all will drive you out of your home.
	They want us all homeless.
	That's right.
	When your home value goes up, you need to raise your insurance coverage.
	Many don't realize that.
	Greg Hume, 121.
	Cars are keyless now.
	It's trivial to make a master key, quote-unquote.
	Yes, it seemed like it would be.
	I don't know enough about engineering or these sorts of things, but yes, I assumed it would be rather trivial to simply make a fob that unlocks multiple different cars.
	That seemed well within the realm of possibility, and Greg has confirmed it.
	Minuteman Militia, good to see you.
	Just use your biometrics instead.
	That's right.
	They're going to make it so that you just need to scan your eyeballs or your thumbprint to get into your car.
	It'll be so simple and easy.
	And I just want to remind people, we're going to do a name reveal for Whistler.
	So put your guesses in, folks.
	You know, is it something, could he be a Leonard?
	Could he be a, you know, Leroy?
	Could he be a Michael?
	A William?
	Who knows?
	Put your guesses in.
	The more absurd, the better.
	I want to see what you guys think it might be.
	We've already gotten guesses for Michael and William.
	See?
	See, I'm in touch with you guys.
	We're, you know, a hive mind here.
	Now, this article...
	Actually, of course, I just want to remind you all to please pray for my dad.
	As we said, last night was the first night he was not in the cardiovascular ICU, and the first night he was able to get some rest.
	And I want to thank you all for praying for that, because I do believe that your prayers are helping and that God is giving him what we ask for.
	So please continue to pray for healing and that he will be restored to us fully.
	I know that we are so incredibly eager to have him home.
	We miss him so dearly here at the house.
	And I know that you all miss him here on the show.
	So please pray for healing and restoration.
	And he would be able to return to us quickly and be restored to his full self.
	And I just want to once again plug, if you'd like to support the show, you can go to davidnight, thesubscribestar.com forward slash the davidnightshow, where you can sign up to give monthly.

	Doug to 007.
	Which John Williams song was that?
	I remember David asking people if they could guess what movie it came from.
	I don't think he ever revealed what movie it came from, though.
	Again.
	If I had that info, I would pass it along, but I am completely musically illiterate and ignorant.
	I know nothing about music.
	I have some of the worst taste in music that you will ever find.
	I think Whistler could confirm that.
	My wife makes fun of me for having terrible, terrible trash taste in music.
	I can't tell you, Dougda, but I will get that information and I will make sure that I write it down and we'll be able to relay that on Monday.
	Maybe we'll be able to look it up during the break, but I don't know it offhand, which is a shame.
	I should know these things, but I don't.
	I know far too much about terrible, terrible music, though.
	Now, this article is on the New American, and I think it speaks to the degradation of culture.
	The celebration of mediocrity and just the uglification of our country.
	Monumental DEI.
	Statues of generic black women being erected, replacing the West's greats.
	As I said, this speaks to the celebration of mediocrity.
	When we put up a statue of someone before it was because they had done something worthy of celebrating those people like George Washington or Thomas Jefferson.
	And sadly, of course, Abraham.
	I don't think he was anyone worth celebrating.
	He, you know, really put the final nail in the coffin of the Constitution.
	But you have to admit that he did a lot of things.
	A lot of really terrible things, but the propaganda involving that at least made him someone worth celebrating in many people's minds.
	Whereas this is just a statue of a generic black woman, not anyone in particular, just celebrating black women for existing.
	And I think that speaks to the level we have fallen to as a country.
	Just the sense of, oh, well, you exist.
	You exist and you're doing...
	So, great at it, you are truly worthy of celebration for nothing more than being here.
	This article is by Selwyn Duke, and again it's on the New American.
	We'll start here.
	Does it matter when a society's long-present statues are torn down and replaced with very different ones?
	Well, consider analogy.
	Imagine that upon coming home each day, you noticed that more and more pictures of your family members, which had adorned your walls, mantles, and desktops, were disappearing and were being replaced with those of people you don't even recognize.
	Well, this is essentially what has been happening with our national family.
	For many years now, statues have been continually torn down, slash removed, replaced with people of little accomplishment and or poor character.
	That's right.
	Remember when they erected that statue of George Floyd?
	It really reminds me of that in the sense that George Floyd was a career criminal drug addict who held a gun on a pregnant woman.
	He was no one worthy of celebration.
	And whether or not you think the police caused his death, that does not make him a saint.
	That does not make him someone you want to put a statue of up.
	It could make it a tragedy that he died, but it does not negate the evil he did with his life.
	At the hospital, talking to Dad about the whole situation in South Africa just yesterday, and he mentioned, like, how in South Africa they had a similar thing a while back where, you know, the Marxists were tearing down all the statues and history that they had, and people in South Africa were chaining themselves to the statues to prevent them from being destroyed.
	That's how much commitment they had to their culture, and it's still completely collapsed.
	Here in America, we can just roll over for it while they destroy history and rewrite it.
	Yeah, and I think that is partially because they don't want you to remember history, because they don't want you to have anything to compare the current world to.
	If you know that there was something better, you might want to fight for it or fight to bring it back.
	Whereas if you have nothing to compare it to, how can you know there was something better?
	You might be able to say, well, this can't be all there is, but you have no hard evidence.
	You can't look at something else and go...
	A Syrian girl...
	Is the generic black woman supposed to be fat?
	Yeah, that's on purpose, too.
	That is specifically on purpose, which, you know...
	This brings us a new monument, Times Square, a black woman of, let's say, generous proportions.
	Unlike Floyd, we can't say she's a criminal.
	She's got that going for her, but for an odd reason.
	She's not anybody.
	That's right.
	As I mentioned, this is just a generic statue, a generic nobody.
	This is not a representation of anyone real.
	It is simply a generic black woman to celebrate the general identity of being a black woman.
	and uh...
	I like being a ginger.
	I like having red hair.
	But I don't think there is any reason to just plaster generic redheads all over the place to celebrate redheads for simply existing.
	know if there are you know if you want to put up a poster of Peter Pan or something like that more power to you but it doesn't do anything for me as if AI born the statue is some generic is of some generic black woman who apparently is supposed to represent black women though some have made clear they've no
	That's right, there are plenty of people within these groups that realize this is an absurdity, that it is simply pandering to human self-interest.
	Whereas, you know, actually celebrating people that matter and remembering history is what they don't want.
	Reporting on this story last Thursday and providing perspective, the Association of Mature American Citizens, AMAC, writes, In 2021, the New York City Public Design Commission generated heated controversy when it removed a statue of Thomas Jefferson from City Hall.
	That's right, folks.
	They're not just putting up these generic ugly statues meant to drive division.
	They are tearing down the historical ones of people of great men that did great things.
	Statue of Thomas Jefferson from City Hall after 187 years.
	Now, America's largest city is once again abuzz with statue talk for a different reason.
	A new 12-foot-tall bronze sculpture of an overweight black woman that appeared in Times Square this week.
	The first question that comes to mind upon seeing the new art installation is obvious.
	Why?
	The answer is perhaps just as obvious.
	Like all modern art that our cultural elites insist we view as brave and groundbreaking, the Times Square Arts Association, TSAA, tells us that the piece titled Grounded in the Stars cuts a stark contrast to the pedestal to permanent monuments.
	Both white men, both That's right.
	They love using these vague, meaningless terms that sound good on paper, but mean nothing when you actually consider them.
	It's all, again, part of Marxist social critique.
	They love to...
	Tear things down.
	The not very statuesque new statue can be seen in the tweet below.
	And of course, it's not a very good-looking statue.
	It is simply a woman in a t-shirt and, I guess, jeans or pants of some kind.
	But we have a comment here, ePigeon20twat.
	2525.
	China has implemented a system that uses facial recognition technology to publicly shame individuals who jaywalk.
	This system captures the faces of jaywalkers and displays their images on large LED screens at road junctions, often along with their names and social identification numbers.
	China is a totalitarian nightmare.
	I'll always remember when we went to China to adopt my sister, just the level of poverty and just...
	My dad has shared this story before, but there was this train station we went to, and we had to have an escort through there because of how dangerous it was.
	They were broadcasting continually over a loop on the PA system the sheer number of murders that took place a day there.
	I want to say it was between two or three, which, when it's murders a day, not murders a week or month or year, that is an alarming statistic.
	Especially when you're a foreigner perceived as being wealthier and more well-off than the general population you have there.
	And I will always remember, they give you things to do while you're there.
	They'll plan little trips for you to go out and see things.
	We took a bus ride out to a village that was about 30, maybe 45 minutes away from the city where we had adopted my sister.
	They were still living as if it was the 1700s.
	It was just, there was barely electricity if they had it in anything.
	They were using a donkey to grind things down with a stone wheel.
	They had a public bathroom where they let the pigs come in and root around in the leftovers, shall we say.
	And it was truly disgusting to see that.
	And of course, China has built so many ghost cities, and they are continually all about putting on a front for the world to see.
	But just outside of those cities, they are living in squalor and poverty.
	They have a tremendous population, but I believe they are largely putting on a front of how powerful they might be.
	What they're hiding.
	Now, something the TSAA wrote is interesting.
	The new statue stated cuts a stark contrast to the pedestaled permanent monuments, both white, both men.
	It's telling, too, that nowhere does the TSAA mention who those white men are, even though this really matters, but when is Father Francis Duffy?
	Why was this statue erected?
	Duffy is literally the most decorated clergyman in U.S. military history for continually tending to the wounded amid bombs falling and bullets flying.
	He received this distinguished service cross among other medals during World War I. In other words, the man was number one in his sphere in all of history.
	The best.
	That's who we used to erect statues of.
	People that went above and beyond the call of duty.
	Who did great things.
	who served in such ways that we can barely comprehend that level of sacrifice today.
	And now we are simply erecting statues to generic black women.
	Because being a black woman in America is more difficult than being the most distinguished clergyman in World War I. Yeah, but he's a white male, though.
	Yeah, exactly.
	I mean, when you're a white guy...
	When you're a white guy, that sort of stuff is just easy for you.
	It's natural.
	It takes no dedication or skill to pull this off.
	The other white man, a sin to be, I know, who statue adorns Times Square is entertainer George M. Cohen.
	I don't know anything.
	I never...
	Don't know who that is.
	Now, while an entertainer is no war hero, Cohen did write and star in more than 50 Broadway musicals, in fact, becoming known as the man who owned Broadway.
	He, for a long time, lived near NYC's theater district.
	Well, you know, that's a bit of a downgrade from Francis Duffy, but I guess, you know, he's a sort of local legend at that point.
	The point is that these men aren't honored because someone suddenly said, hey, let's recognize a couple of white guys.
	Let's emphasize how white America is.
	Race had nothing to do with it.
	A concerned accomplishment.
	That's right.
	They were not simply honored for being white.
	They were honored for what they had done with their lives.
	We have fallen so far as a nation.
	The standards for what we will praise and what we will give time to is truly disgusting.
	Yet all the TSAA would say about the two figures that they were both white, both men.
	To that organization and its co-ideologists, race has everything to do with it.
	These people, being white, no matter what else you have done, is the primary characteristic and it is the original sin.
	Nothing you do will ever overcome that in their eyes.
	They will always find some reason to hate you.
	You could be the most liberal, the most obsequious loser who will bow down and worship at their feet.
	But if you're white, it will never be enough.
	They will always find some way to cast you out of the circle and make it so that you have even less influence.
	They are simply about racial hierarchy, and if you are white, they want to make sure that you are at the bottom of the pyramid on this.
	Ron Helton 1. I started learning real history after I left school.
	The history they taught was pablum for babies, sanitized and full of propaganda.
	Again, we've never been to public school, but I can only imagine the type of garbage and propaganda they pump into kids on a daily basis.
	I know for a fact that basically every one of the guys I went to public school...
	Who went to public school that I was friends with, were utterly obsessed with Abraham Lincoln and thought he was the greatest president the United States has ever had, despite the fact that he was a tyrant, you know, who killed, who oversaw the most devastating war that has ever happened on American soil,
	killed a tremendous portion of the population here in America, and an even higher proportion of the, you know, Military-aged men.
	They were put through a meat grinder.
	So I think, Goy, are they saying black women are fat?
	Das racist!
	That's right.
	Das racist.
	I truly am ashamed that they would put up something of this nature.
	My white guilt is kicking in into overdrive, folks.
	It is really, really hammering me at the moment.
	So I think, Goy, again, erasing history is what commie art...
	is as well as leading the viewer to feel nothing, think about nothing.
	That's right.
	It is all about the nothingness, the void, destroying the good and making it an empty husk.
	Communists cannot produce anything beautiful.
	Personally, I'm of the opinion that art is about beauty and that if what you are making is not beautiful, it is not art, but I'm not qualified to have that debate.
	I don't know.
	I'm sure there's someone out there that's pulling their hair out like, you've made the classic blunder when debating art philosophy.
	So, what happened...
	So, such efforts are Affirmative Action, or DEI, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, I'm sure I don't need to specify that for our audience, applied to history and culture.
	The issue is, too, that these social engineers have a problem with reality.
	History, which shapes culture, is simply this.
	What happened?
	That's right.
	History is shared identity, to some extent.
	And what happened in the West, like it or not, is that it, unsurprisingly, was shaped by Westerners.
	And since the West traditionally was white civilization, virtually all our notable historical figures are white.
	We therefore can't present Western history honestly without going heavy on the white men.
	That is, again, something that they're continually trying to push is that, you know, white men continually stole everything from the black man, whether it's music or culture or food or this or that.
	It is this continual rewriting and papering over of what actually happened.
	It has blown my mind in recent years to see that kick into overdrive.
	Whites didn't create anything.
	White people haven't done anything.
	They simply stole everything from other cultures.
	And yet they have to use a generic person for their statue instead of getting a famous black person.
	You'd think they could have at least just gone with Harriet Tubman or something like that, you know?
	But I suppose we're beyond even wanting to talk about We are in the stage where everything has to be removed from reality.
	We don't want people learning about history at all, even if it's history that might benefit their cause.
	It's not about what they've done, it's just about who they are, that they're black.
	If you only put up statues of black people that did important things, that would leave out the regular black people that have never done anything with their lives.
	What about them?
	Exactly.
	So, to elaborate.
	To elaborate on Nijoya's point, consider the message these statues could be seen as sending.
	The cultural devolutionaries could erect a monument, let's say, abolitionist underground railroader heroine Harriet Tubman.
	Here we are, just like I said.
	But by choosing generic black women, people could infer this.
	They're saying black women are so unaccomplished, so unimpressive, that a fictional black woman is as good as or better than an example of the real thing.
	I wrote, could, because in reality, this, more than anything else, is an identity politics phenomenon and an attack on meritocracy.
	Accomplishment is a white concept.
	Anyway, to the relativistic cultural devolutionaries, why one man's sentient biped accomplishment is another's defect.
	That's right, if you are white, anything you do is evil.
	If you are black, anything you do is good, or you have been forced to do it by the white man.
	Not just black, but of course other minorities as well.
	They are all victims of white supremacy and white oppression.
	Completely ignoring the fact that the government has it out for all of us.
	When systems fall, so do statues.
	Russia beyond in 2012.
	Ideally, our monuments should elevate and enrich society in some way.
	I agree.
	I think there is something to be said for putting up beautiful buildings, beautiful statues, making the public spaces beautiful.
	I think it gives you something to strive for, to look at and want to be a part of, whereas if the public space is ugly already, you will have no reason to engage with society as a whole.
	For example, you could point out to your son that Father Duffy was the embodiment of heroic virtue.
	He was a paragon of courage and self-sacrifice.
	Providing consistent examples of virtue helps breed good children.
	But what can you say when your little daughter asks in Times Square, who is that lady?
	Yeah, what can you say about that?
	Oh, she's a...
	She's no one.
	She's not real.
	She's an amalgamation, an avatar of general existence.
	She is nothing and no one and never will be.
	This person has not existed for all of history.
	I don't know, Lily.
	She's nobody.
	But if you eat a lot of Twinkies and don't move around too much, you can be just like her.
	Unfortunately, though, what's occurring culturally is no joke.
	Just ask Elizabeth Rogliani.
	A Venezuelan actress living in the United States, for she has seen this all before.
	Why do I even worry about some silly statues coming down or some silly street names changing?
	Why do I care, she asked rhetorically, in a viral 2020 video.
	It's because last time I didn't care about this, I was a teenager, she explained.
	I have already lived through this thing when I was living in Venezuela.
	That's right.
	We continually see people from communist countries that have gone through revolutions getting very, very worried because they've seen how it starts.
	They've seen that first they come for your culture.
	They come for your icons.
	And once they have taken those from you, they move on to other things.
	They start with your history and they end with your life.
	That's what they want in the end.
	Statues come down.
	Socialist leader Hugo Chavez didn't want the history displayed.
	Rogliana continued.
	And then he changed the street names.
	Then came the curriculum in schools.
	Then some movies can be shown on certain TV channels and so on and so forth.
	That's right.
	It continually progresses.
	There is never enough for these people to take from you.
	They want it all.
	They want it all.
	And they will never stop until they get it or they are forced to stop.
	These people are not ever going to say, you know what?
	I think we've beaten them down enough.
	I think that they might have learned their lesson.
	It is about vengeance.
	It is about hurting people.
	They will never stop until they have taken everything from people that they see as the enemy.
	Yeah.
	Well, I think we're going to take a quick break, but once again, I want to remind you, put your guesses in for Whistler's name.
	Could he be a Barnabas?
	Chevy Chase, perhaps?
	You know, Robin Williams?
	Those are already taken, but, you know, just some examples.
	Get your guesses in.
	We'll be doing a reveal before Gerald Salente comes on, and we'll have some fun with it.
	I'll give you a hint.
	It goes very well with Knight.
	Yeah, it does go very well with Knight.
	He's got a cool name, folks.
	So put your guesses in and we'll, we'll see if anyone gets it.
	Thank you.
	and analyzing the globalist's next move.
	Music And now, The David Nutt Show.
	The David Nutt Show.
	music
	Decoding the mainstream propaganda.
	It's the David Knight Show.
	Welcome back to the show, folks.
	Pleasure to have you here.
	And we are going to look at some of the guesses that you've all put in as to what Whistler's name might be.
	So, when we first announced this...
	Your mic isn't on.
	So when we first announced this, one person had the correct guess that they posted immediately, so they obviously already knew.
	So I'll get to the actual guesses.
	We've got some cheaters in the house.
	Oh man, we're going to have to call Casino Security and we are going to boot you out.
	No counting cards at this establishment.
	G-Talent guessed William Knight?
	Not quite, no.
	Let's see, Cereal Young Girl said...
	I'm pretty sure you weren't named Vladimir, but beyond that, can't really guess.
	He was almost named Maximilian, though.
	My dad, both times, with me and Whistler, was like, what about Maximilian?
	And my mom absolutely vetoed that name.
	Let's see.
	We've got Jonathan, Charles, neither of those.
	Senator123 said...
	I sound like a Charles.
	Not really sure how to take that.
	Michael from Brian and Deb McCartney.
	Wayne or Phillip from Karen Carpenter.
	Thaddeus Knight from Owen61.
	M Sellers guesses that my name is actually Whistler.
	Now that would be good.
	That would have been a double bluff on our part.
	Let's see.
	StealthPatriot asks if I'm trying to disguise my voice.
	No, this is just what I sound like.
	To which him sellers replied that my voice sounds very CIA, which I take as an insult, but okay.
	That's right.
	He is our CIA handler.
	He isn't actually a real member of this family.
	He has simply been implanted upon us to control our narrative and make sure that we don't stray too far off the government plantation.
	You heard it here first, folks.
	And it is not.
	Andrew, Aaron, Alan, Anthony, or Alexander.
	So we're still waiting for someone to actually guess it correctly.
	That's right, folks.
	So put your guesses in while you can, because we're going to do the name reveal here soon.
	But I saw this...
	I saw this story and I thought it was interesting.
	This is on just the news, and...
	It is harrowing confrontation between contractors led to Fort Detrick Biolab shutdown, NIH boss reveals.
	When I actually tell you the details of the story, I'm sure some of you have seen it before, just with how well informed our listeners and viewers are, it will kind of make your skin crawl.
	It is a testament to the quality of people that the government hires, even for these very, very dangerous high-security jobs.
	National Institutes of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya said, Poor safety culture and a feud between employees that risked the leak of an unknown pathogen prompted him to temporarily shutter the high-level biosafety laboratory at Fort Detrick, Maryland.
	Good old Fort Detrick.
	So many of our favorites have come out of Fort Detrick.
	We just love our bio labs, don't we?
	Folks, Bhattacharya.
	Bhattacharya?
	There's a YA at the end, so it's probably Bhattacharya, who was confirmed by the Senate in late March, had only just taken the helm at the agency, which was at the center of much COVID-19 era controversy, when he received a report about the high-security laboratory that caused his blood to chill.
	He told Just the News No Noise TV show on Monday.
	He said the lab reported that one researcher slashed a hole in a containment suit of another researcher, potentially exposing them to a pathogen.
	About three weeks in, I got a report that there was a lab, a BSL-4 biosafety lab, that is a high-security lab that deals with, like, really nasty bugs, you know, Ebola, a whole bunch of other bugs.
	That there had been a safety incident, yes, an incident, that involved a contractor cutting a hole in the biocontainment suit of another worker with the intention of getting that worker sick with some nasty bug and potentially spreading it outside the lab itself.
	An incident first reported by Fox News earlier this month.
	Fox News also reported the incident between the two contractors was sparked by a lover's spat.
	That's right.
	This was over nothing more than a lover's quarrel.
	These people are having some kind of interpersonal drama, and one of them decides that the best solution is to simply potentially expose them and anyone they come in contact to with an extremely dangerous virulent pathogen.
	These are the quality of people we are hiring.
	They are not able to put the safety of their other co-workers or the population out there.
	This is the exact opposite of the type of person that you want working at a place like this, which I don't think we even want places like this to exist, but assuming they do.
	Which, that is the point we're at.
	If we do have these places and we can't shut them down and get rid of them, what we need is the highest quality of individual working there.
	Someone that is of a noble character.
	Though I think it is probably difficult to find someone of a noble character that specifically wants to work with deadly pathogens.
	I think that might be a contradiction in terms.
	However, assuming you can find them, that is the person you need, not someone that is going to I don't have any details on whether they cheated on one another or whatever, but whatever the issue was, it does not necessitate them getting Ebola and potentially spreading it to other people or any of these other insane pathogens that these places work on.
	Again, this just goes to show who works in government, who works at every level.
	It is these petty, petty people that simply cannot and will not put the good of others ahead of their own personal need for even vengeance over something small.
	So I thought that was just a very interesting story and a very good example of what type of person works in government and directly works with some of the most dangerous Now,
	this is on the New American.
	And this is just to show that if you had any hope in the new administration changing things, you were foolish and sold a bill of goods.
	This is by Veronica Kirilenko.
	FBI Director Patel believes Epstein hanged himself.
	That's right.
	Cash Patel with the hard-hitting facts of Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide.
	I don't understand how the MAGA people are not up in arms.
	You would think that after the continual disappointments they have suffered, they would be angry, that they would be demanding some kind of accountability.
	But no, they're still fine with it.
	FBI Director Kash Patel, appearance before the Senate last week, delivered a gut punch to many Americans who believe Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself.
	And I think that is the vast majority of Americans.
	I don't think.
	There are very many people who believe the official narrative that all the cameras went out, his guards weren't paying attention.
	He just happened to hang himself at the one singular point in time where no one would be able to notice.
	Truly, if that did happen, it is a comedy of errors.
	When asked point-blank by Senator John Kennedy, Republican, whether Epstein had been murdered, Patel offered a flat, unconvincing answer.
	I believe he hung himself.
	During Thursday's Senate Appropriations Committee hearing, Senator Kennedy posed the question millions have asked since 2019.
	Did Jeffrey Epstein hang himself or did somebody kill him?
	Kennedy asked.
	Patel replied, I believe he hung himself in a cell in the metro.
	The senator fell silent for a moment.
	No doubt the answer also stunned viewers who expected more from a man once known for pushing speedy and complete declassification efforts to bring the truth to the American public.
	That's right.
	They will tell you whatever you want to hear when they're trying to get power, but the second they join the power structure, it is business as usual.
	Meet the new boss.
	He is the same as the old boss.
	In my lifetime, there has not been a great deal of difference between any president.
	Whether it was Bill Clinton, George W. Bush Jr., or...
	Obama or Donald Trump.
	They are all part of the same power structure and have largely been interchangeable.
	The bureaucracy continues to move on as it always has.
	It is simply the figurehead that changes.
	They will pay lip service to whatever cause they think will get them into power and then they will do whatever those behind the scenes Kennedy then pressed Patel on whether the FBI would finally release the files related to Epstein's death.
	And Patel said, we are working through that right now with the Department of Justice.
	Asked when that release would happen, he offered a vague, in the near future.
	Like, before I die, Kennedy quipped.
	Patel grinned awkwardly, mincing his words as he replied slowly and deliberately.
	Senator, we are, we are, we've been working on that.
	And we're doing it in a way that protects, um, victims and also doesn't, um, Put into the ether information that is irrelevant to the public, such as child sexual abuse material.
	I am all for making sure that there is not any child porn in the material they put out, but I can't imagine that it would be too hard for them to find the salient points and release it.
	This is just proof that they are never going to release this, or at the minimum, they are going to hold onto it for so long that it does not matter by the time it's released.
	I imagine this will be another JFK file scenario where if it is ever released, it will be so far down the line that anyone that could have been, you know, used, could have been interested or have used this to do anything will be lost.
	And this happened a while ago, so to refresh everyone's memories, I...
	Don't remember it 100% myself, but let's see.
	I believe his neck was broken as though he was hung from a height, even though it was just a sheet tied to the top bunk.
	The sheets were designed to tear apart into small squares so that people could not hang themselves.
	Obviously, the big thing was that all the cameras went down.
	And all the guards stopped paying attention.
	Yes.
	I believe they said they fell asleep on duty or something like that.
	Yeah, and there were a few other things about it.
	So now we've got this guy saying that releasing any of this information would expose the public to child sexual abuse material.
	What were they bringing in children into his cell?
	How would his death be related to that?
	Yeah.
	At the minimum, they could just release the records regarding his death.
	Those have nothing to do with what Epstein was actually up to on his island and the flight logs, anything of that nature.
	This is simply them showing the power structure that they will play ball.
	That is our FBI director, Kash Patel.
	Part of the MAGA movement.
	Donald Trump's FBI director refusing to tell the truth, refusing to give the American people what they voted for.
	It is simply new boss, same as the old boss.
	Business as usual.
	And this article is also from The New American by Rebecca Terrell.
	Trump pushes federal pipeline land grab.
	Now, this is something, of course, my dad has talked about in the past, but I just wanted to make sure that I'm keeping you up to date on it.
	Farmers and landowners throughout the nation are urgently opposing the big, beautiful bill that President Donald Trump wants to see passed before Memorial Day.
	It's a budget omnibus that encompasses defense, energy, and tax priorities of the current administration, but it also includes a federal eminent domain land grab posed to enrich private for-profit pipeline companies at the expense of taxpayers and property owners.
	Congress is fast-tracking it.
	That's right, folks.
	They can never take your rights quick enough.
	They can't even let it move through the bureaucracy at a standard pace.
	They have to make sure that when it comes to taking things from you, they move at warp speed.
	That is how this goes.
	If passed, this proposed law would give the federal government authority to take your land via eminent domain on behalf of corporations, warns Bold Alliance, a grassroots group of private landowners who have been battling these attempted encroachments for four years.
	That's right, folks.
	Donald Trump loves his eminent domain.
	He loves eminent domain.
	The government also loves intermittent domain, so I would be surprised if we don't see this pass.
	This would allow these companies to come in and say, well, we need to capture CO2.
	We need to work towards the green agenda, so we are going to take part of your land that has potentially been in your family for generations.
	We are going to take that from you, and we are going to use it for our purposes.
	The bill establishes a federal permit for carbon capture pipeline.
	That's right.
	Carbon capture.
	Which we all know is a complete scam, utterly useless.
	It is more of this green agenda nonsense that has been pushed on the American people for years after they've been beat over the head with the lie of climate change and propagandized to fear that if we don't get rid of everything and change our way of life and reduce ourselves down to a third world status of living, that the ice caps are going to melt and we are going to flood Florida and all these other places, which is an utterly absurd thing to think.
	The sun produces so much energy.
	The amount of energy that the entirety of humanity throughout history has produced is incomparable to a single day.
	It is utterly, utterly absurd, but people buy into it.
	If you repeat a lie long enough and loud enough, many people will buy in over time, especially if you don't show them any sort of alternative and You monopolize the information.
	It would overrule state routing laws, moratoriums, eminent domain bans, and construction regulations, as well as county pipeline ordinances.
	The proposal also includes a requirement for expedited review, forcing federal agencies to approve federal permits within one year of a pipeline company's application.
	If agencies miss the deadline, the permit would be automatically approved.
	They're making it so that if the government does not respond quickly enough, they just get automatic approval, which I can see that being used very nefariously to just say, oh, well, we meant to say no.
	We meant to tell them they couldn't do this horrific pipeline and steal your land.
	However, we got behind.
	We didn't have time to look at it.
	And so it just gets automatic approval.
	So there's nothing we can do.
	We didn't mean for this to happen, but it has happened.
	The government is always looking for ways to give themselves a little bit of deniability on things.
	They love to abdicate responsibility when it comes to screwing over the American people.
	They really, really enjoy not being held accountable for things.
	Not that they would be in any physical or material sense, but they love being able to...
	Yeah, that's right.
	Because the only thing that stops a bad guy with Ebola is a good guy with Ebola.
	We're going to have a Mexican Ebola standoff.
	We're going to have two facing each other with vials in their hands.
	But Bold Alliance is asking all Americans to contact their federal legislators and President Trump with a simple message.
	I oppose federalization of pipeline permitting.
	Stop the federal eminent domain pipeline land grab.
	You can sign their petition here, and that is linked in the article.
	So if you go to the New American and look for the article, Trump pushes federal pipeline land grab.
	At the bottom, they have the link that you can click and you can sign the petition, which I think hopefully will have some effect if you go do that.
	Let's see.
	Our next article here is from the Free Thought Project.
	Free Thought Project does a lot of great work.
	Trump administration mulls suspending habeas corpus, but its argument for doing so is legal garbage.
	That's right, folks.
	They want to get rid of habeas corpus.
	Suspending the right to challenge the legality of one's detention in court would shred a core tenet of the Constitution.
	Well, they are all about shredding the Constitution.
	They have been my entire life.
	There has never been a president in my lifetime that has given a darn about the Constitution.
	Truth out.
	And this is by the Free Thought Project, as I said.
	If White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller is to be believed, Team Trump is poised to drive another stake through the heart of the Constitution on May.
	Ninth, Miller told reporters that the administration is considering whether to suspend the right to habeas corpus, known as the Great Writ.
	In immigration cases, suspending habeas corpus, which allows individuals to challenge the legality of their detention in court, would be unconstitutional.
	The suspension clause, located in Article 1, Section 9, Clause 2 of the Constitution, says the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended unless, when in cases of rebellion or invasion, public safety may require it.
	In light of the several recent losses the administration has suffered in immigration cases, Miller said it is now pondering the suspension of habeas corpus, he declared.
	And again, if Donald Trump really was this man who was going to stand up for what he believed in, was going to do what it took no matter what, he would simply tell the judges and the courts that he does not care about their opinion, he would call out the military, and he would just do it.
	But he wants to have it both ways.
	He wants to take your rights from you, but also be seen as some sort of benevolent, work-together, get-along type of guy.
	Which I find truly despicable.
	Just the fact that he wants to pretend to be a tough guy, but then bows and scrapes and whimpers like a beaten dog whenever some low-level judge tells him no.
	And to be clear, this is not about deportations.
	Imprisoning people in horrible conditions for very long periods of time.
	This...
	The, uh...
	Sorry, I've just gotta admit...
	Alright, um...
	The habeas corpus is, uh, not...
	Show me the body.
	It's not referring to show me the corpse of whoever I killed.
	It's show me the body of law that I have violated.
	Uh, it's started with, uh...
	The first, uh...
	Jury nullification trials where they had this jury that nullified a case and the judge wanted to arrest the jury for not convicting the person who did commit the crime because the jury didn't feel like the crime should be illegal.
	And the argument was, show me the body of law that these jurors have violated.
	So that is what habeas corpus is.
	You have to have violated a crime.
	Without habeas corpus, anyone can be arrested for any reason.
	Yes.
	And these are human rights.
	This isn't granted by the Constitution.
	The Constitution recognizes that humans have rights.
	It's rights given by God.
	And that is extremely important that we don't tread on these rights.
	Exactly.
	We have a comment here from SoloCat1980.
	Jeff Epstein didn't kill himself because he is not dead.
	That's right.
	There is certainly a question about that with the picture of the corpse they showed had an ear that looked very different.
	And, of course, everyone's ear is entirely unique, like a giant fingerprint on the side of your head.
	Yeah, there was many, many shady things about his death, and not just about his death, but of the corpse they wheeled out and whether or not he is actually dead is a giant question in everyone's mind.
	I, for one...
	I tend to believe that he absconded and is now secured somewhere.
	It'll be like Bigfoot or Elvis Presley.
	Every once in a while, we'll just have a picture of him that's really blurry resurfaced and we'll see him playing cards down somewhere in Mexico or something like that.
	That's my opinion on the Jeffrey Epstein thing.
	Again, habeas corpus is incredibly important.
	The government has to be forced to show you what law you violated.
	If they are able to suspend that, that means everything is up for grabs and they can do whatever they want.
	Now, we're going to be joined by Gerald Salente shortly.
	So I think it's about time that we do the name reveal.
	Do we have any last-minute guesses?
	Do we have any good guesses here at the final hour before we speak with Gerald Salente of TrendsJournal.com?
	Unfortunately, we've had so many guesses that I couldn't keep up with copying and pasting them all into notes to keep track of them.
	So let's not do last-minute guesses.
	I'm going to go...
	Scroll up through this and find the, uh, guess that people had, so sorry if I miss your guess.
	We did actually get quite a lot of correct guesses, um, but first I'll start with the incorrect, uh, Assyrian Girl guessed, uh, Thomas Jefferson Knight, no, though I could see my dad naming, uh, a son Thomas Jefferson.
	Uh, Dwight Knight is also not correct from Assyrian Girl.
	Uh, the real Octo spooked, uh, uh, guessed Ernest, uh, Visual, uh, Virgil.
	Clarence Gilbert, uh, and a whole bunch more.
	Uh, none of those are correct.
	Solo Cat, guess Kevin, no.
	It's not Neo.
	It's not Billy the Kid.
	Um, let's see.
	It is not Archer Knight.
	From who guessed that?
	I didn't say that.
	There were a few funny ones.
	I think we've run through a long enough list of incorrect guesses.
	Who do you think was the first person to actually guess it correctly and not know it offhand?
	Let's see.
	Most of these are from Kik.
	So Awootz immediately put...
	Lance, which is correct.
	That's right, folks.
	His name is Lance Knight.
	You heard it here first.
	I would guess that Brian and Deb McCartney got it, since they put Sir Lancelot.
	Or, let's see, a few people guessed Lancelot or Lance.
	Yes, my dad did want to name me Lancelot, but my mom vetoed that, so they compromised on just Lance.
	So, there you go, folks.
	The name reveal has been accomplished.
	I think we are going to take a quick break.
	We'll play you some nice, relaxing music, run a couple of commercials, and then we'll be back with Gerald Salente of Trends Journal.

	Just lift him up before God.
	We know that healing is in his hands.
	Thank you so much for sticking with us.
	We will be back with Gerald Salente.

	We do have one comment from Shabri.
	Thank you for the tip very, very much.
	We greatly appreciate it.
	Beautiful night.
	Family that comes together when needed.
	Yes, it has been really wonderful.
	Thank you so much.
	And thank you, Gerald, for joining us.
	Thank you.
	Oh, you know, so sad to hear what happened to your father.
	And, of course, I pray for him every day.
	I mean, he's a real man, and I look up to him.
	And, you know, every day, by the way, I have...
	Pictures of all my aunts and uncles, grandparents and parents, and I thank them every day for what they've given me.
	And my first wish is that please keep me healthy.
	And, you know, if you don't, you know, that's...
	So to be blessed and to count your blessings every day.
	There was a great guy I met when I first moved up here to Kingston.
	His name was Alex McMullen.
	He used to do great artwork and stained glass windows.
	Oh, those are beautiful.
	He was skiing up in Andes, which isn't far from here.
	And his last ski trip, he slipped on it.
	And became a quadriplegic.
	And this guy was a real man, you know, wonderful, wonderful guy.
	Anyway, he was also, being a McMullen, you know, he liked to drink.
	And at one time he was an alcoholic.
	And a buddy of mine was an alcoholic.
	And I said, listen, you should go see Alex.
	I said, this guy will straighten you out.
	And my buddy went to see him.
	And he used to go to AA and everything.
	So my friend told me that he used to talk to Alex every day.
	Every day.
	And after every conversation, Alex used to say, count your blessings.
	Be thankful for everything that you have.
	Remember, this guy's a quadriplegic.
	And he was a real, this guy was a Vietnam guy, you know.
	I mean, he hated the war.
	But he was a real man.
	Now he's a quadriplegic.
	And he used to say, count your blessings every day.
	And that's what everybody really has to do.
	Be thankful for everything that you have.
	And do something positive to help change the world in a better way.
	And so anyway, I think of him every, every day.
	He gave me a piece of stained glass.
	He was living right near me over here.
	And he said, you know, I can't go anywhere.
	He said, I'm stuck here all the time.
	He said, I wish I had a van.
	So I had a fundraiser for him.
	I raised $36,000 and we got Alex Needs a Van.
	That's incredible.
	And we got him a van, yeah.
	And anyway, so what I'm saying is for everybody that's listening, count your blessings every day.
	Let me look what happened to Dave like that.
	Boom.
	Out of nowhere.
	And your whole life changes.
	And the other thing is, as Alex did, do something positive for people every day in any way that you can, whether it's for one person or for humanity.
	I fully agree with that, just the sentiment of...
	Every single day, you need to be incredibly grateful for what you have.
	Every day truly is a blessing.
	You never know what can happen, whether it's a medical emergency and you're gone, or whether it's just a traffic accident.
	These kinds of things happen all the time, and it is so...
	Important to just remember that, that each and every day you are here on this planet is a blessing and a mercy.
	And, you know, I've been so, like you are with your family, I am so incredibly grateful that I was raised by my mom and dad for who they are as people and for their commitment to doing what is right.
	And just watching my dad over the years, every single day, just getting up and doing this show and looking at what...
	It's a hard job to look at these headlines and see the news every single day.
	I'm assuming it's harder for you and guys like my dad who saw America, what it was at one point.
	It wasn't perfect.
	It had its problems.
	But to see what it has degenerated to now versus what it once was and to see it continually getting worse.
	When you have something to compare it to, it makes it harder.
	And I know that it has been just a mental drain on him, but every single day he would still wake up and do the show.
	And that's why I have such monumental respect for him and for you as well, Gerald, because you continue to fight despite the fact that, you know, it would be so easy to say, well, you know, I've done my part.
	I fought for years.
	I did what I could.
	I'm going to, you know...
	Give it up and I'm going to enjoy whatever little time I have left and just ignore these problems and sail off into the sunset however you want to do it, whether it's retiring to some other country or to some part of the country that you feel is more comfortable.
	And instead, both you and him have decided that you are going to fight for freedom continually until you can't do it anymore.
	And I have been so incredibly thankful to see that level of commitment in people like you and my dad.
	So it has been truly a blessing to me as well, just to see that there are still people that are willing to fight no matter what.
	No, you said about your dad, you know...
	Yeah, you know, again, you know, critical care nurses, by the way, they say the greatest regret of people that are dying is that they didn't become the best person that they could have.
	And again, to make this clear, I pull a lot of crap in my life, you know.
	I was killing environmental legislation at the height of the environmental movement back in the 1970s.
	I was a chief government affairs specialist for the chemical industry.
	At 28 years old, I was staying at the Willard Hotel in D.C. and putting my meetings on at the Hay Adams, right across the White House.
	I mean, you know.
	They've done my stuff, but I wouldn't know what I know if I wasn't on the other side.
	And that's when I learned, and that's when I became a political atheist and couldn't stand the system.
	You know what you said about your dad and the parents' generation, the one we grew up in?
	This is one of my books.
	It's called What Zidzi Gave Honey Boy.
	Zidzi is the Neapolitan dialect for auntie.
	Zia is aunt, and Zidzi is your auntie.
	I don't know if you can see this picture, but this is my parents' wedding.
	Could you see that picture at all?
	Yeah, I could see it.
	It's really beautiful.
	Just all of them lined up together.
	All right.
	1934.
	My father worked in a fish store.
	They worked as laborers.
	They worked in factories.
	Look at the way they're dressed and look what they look like.
	Yeah, they're all...
	You know, once upon a time, there was a thing called the Ringling Brothers in Barnum and Bailey Circus.
	They went out of business.
	You know why?
	You don't have to step right up, step right up, see the fat man, see the tattooed lady, see the lady with a beard.
	They're out in the street everywhere.
	You don't have to pay to see them anymore.
	You just have to go to your local Walmart.
	The decline of this country.
	Up and down the street over here.
	You know, I had my sister, may she rest in peace, I took her out of a nursing home.
	And I had her up here.
	She had two strokes and dementia.
	Every time I went to see her in a nursing home, she was dead.
	And I had her up here, and I had someone taking care of her 24 hours a day.
	She became a different person.
	She was painting out every day.
	She was so happy.
	Anyway, I'd sit her out in front of my office over here, and she's in a wheelchair.
	And again, she had two strokes and dementia.
	And she'd see these big things walk down the street, right?
	And I'm sitting next to her, and she'd go like this.
	She'd go, Oh!
	Oh.
	And the woman that used to take care of her, I used to tell Keisha, a great woman from Jamaica, I want her out of the house.
	I want her outside all the time.
	She said, when I used to take your sister around town, your sister used to go, look, look, fatso, fatso.
	Keisha never heard the word fatso before she was in Jamaica.
	And here's the bottom line.
	I've been at this for 45 years.
	Best-selling books, Trend Tracking, Trends 2000, Trends Journal.
	Again, if you put the code NIGHT in there, you get a 10% off.
	And by the way, that brings it to the grand total of $2.50 a week.
	A week.
	The Wall Street Journal, $5 a day.
	That's less than a cup of coffee now.
	Yeah.
	And we're giving people what they can't get anywhere else, and you don't have to believe me.
	You go to our, you know, Gerald Salenti channel on YouTube or Trends Journal, and you see the comments from the people that subscribe.
	They can't believe it.
	So we're giving you everything we can.
	So going back about what's going on in the world and why we have to change it, I've been at this 45 years.
	The only thing that I can see changing it is a renaissance.
	The renaissance happened after the Black Plague.
	Over 60% of Europe was wiped out.
	They killed themselves.
	Filthy sanitation, all kinds of crap.
	Just like we're killing ourselves now.
	I'm up here in the Hudson River right here, right?
	All filled with PCBs and other crap, you know.
	Poison everywhere.
	They said at the height of the Renaissance, in the manner of the Romans and the Ancients, in the manner of the Romans and the Ancients, to describe the quality of their work.
	A Renaissance.
	Going back to what...
	By the way, you can get this book if you go to...
	Our site, TrendsJournal.com.
	Everything I've written is my favorite.
	It's what America used to be.
	It's called What Zizzy Gave Honey Boy, a true story about love, wisdom, and the soul of America.
	What this country used to be.
	Anyway, you look at the style of what this country used to be.
	Everybody in the world wanted to come here.
	Not anymore.
	Not anymore.
	They want to leave.
	Nobody in the world wants to come here other than the people in Haiti and other places where it's hell holes.
	They want to get out.
	But they don't want to leave Germany.
	They don't want to leave France.
	I had a great French girlfriend, Marie-Pierre.
	Marie-Pierre Astier.
	Her brother, by the way, Francois, was the left shoulder of Jacques Chirac in Mitterrand.
	He was a bodyguard.
	My close combat teacher, John Perkins, used to go to Palace of USA and work out with him.
	Anyway, Marie-Pierre, when she came here, remember, this is a Parisian woman, great artist, beautiful.
	She told me, she said, who would want to live in France in the 1970s when there was New York City?
	That was the attitude.
	It was a completely different country.
	Like you said, the only people that want to come here now are trying to flee from the worst places on Earth.
	There's no one who, you know, in these first world countries that thinks of America as some place they want to immigrate to.
	We're not importing people that can help make our country better.
	We are simply taking the, you know, whether you want to call them the dregs of society, which a lot of them are, they're fleeing, you know.
	Crimes that they've committed in their own home countries, or they're just coming here so they can leech off whatever welfare state we have left.
	And that's a sign of the times.
	That's a sign of what America has become.
	It's not some place that people that can do good for their countries want to come to.
	They're not thinking, oh, America, if I go there, I can accomplish things.
	I can succeed because they are the best of the best.
	It is simply a place for other countries to discard their refuse at this point, which is...
	It's horrifying to see how far this country has fallen, even just in my lifetime.
	It breaks my heart.
	And again, I've got to write about this every day.
	I mean, you get the magazine.
	It's like almost 200 pages a week.
	From high-tech science to technocracy to geopolitics to AI.
	We cover everything.
	Geopolitics, economics.
	Anyway, to me, the only...
	Excuse me.
	I became the number two guy running a major trade association.
	I mentioned this to your dad.
	After our trade show, we used to put on a concert for the people that exhibited.
	We took over the Atlantic Convention Center after we did the trade show there.
	And I put one on for Dion, for Ella Fitzgerald.
	Ella Fitzgerald.
	Took over the Superdome, did one with Dion Warwick.
	And now I got to hear about Taylor Swift or Beyonce.
	What, are you kidding me?
	Yeah.
	It's a joke.
	What I'm saying, again, going back to my parents' generation, there were things called, I tell you, my father worked in a fish store.
	There were grocery stores.
	There were hardware stores.
	There were drug stores.
	There were shoe stores.
	There were stationery stores.
	Now they're all chains.
	The bigs own everything.
	They've killed the middle class in this country.
	And to me, again, we have to bring back the style and the grace.
	Again, you know, they say in the King James Bible, the meek shall inherit the earth.
	They said they misspelled it.
	The geeks have inherited the earth.
	I gotta listen to the synthesized crap.
	I gotta go out to a restaurant that costs like a hundred bucks to eat.
	I hear, Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
	I gotta hear this crap.
	When I used to hear Ella Fitzgerald, I saw Count Basie, I saw Duke Ellington, I saw Ray Charles, I saw all these great cats, and now look at the decline.
	And it's across the board.
	So we need a renaissance.
	That's the way I see it.
	But you can't do it without money.
	The Medici's made it happen, the banksters.
	Back in Italy, back in the day.
	And, you know, one of my tenants was Warren Buffett's son.
	I have three of the most historic buildings, most historic four corners in America.
	Anybody can Google it up.
	Most historic four corners in America, Kingston, New York.
	The 1763 Dr. Jensen House.
	Beautiful.
	He has his Novo Foundation there.
	I had Ralph Nader up here.
	I had peace rallies every year.
	He never gave me a penny for the peace.
	Not a penny for peace.
	Pick up yesterday's Wall Street Journal.
	Big picture.
	Warren Buffett decides to retire.
	What the hell do I care?
	I'm paying five dollars for this thing.
	You gotta show me this big stupid picture of this guy?
	What are the billionaires doing for peace?
	Not one penny.
	Not one penny for peace.
	Yeah.
	Peace doesn't make money.
	So that's the way it has to happen.
	Yeah.
	All these billionaires are usually deeply invested or at least in bed with places like the CIA to some extent.
	They're continually getting money from them or funneling money back to them or creating systems of control for them.
	So they have no interest in peace.
	They are only interested...
	In war, because that's how they butter their bread.
	That's where they make their money.
	And it is so horrifying to see that that's what America has become.
	That's the class of people that are at the top now.
	And I'm sure to some extent it's always been like that.
	War has always been a profitable business.
	But, you know, just to see the people who are now billionaires, like Mark Zuckerberg, what a disgusting freak of a human being Mark Zuckerberg is.
	And the things that the amount of...
	The way he wants to collect everyone's data and just give it directly to the government as a way of keeping tabs on everyone, it is truly horrifying the people that are now in power.
	I don't think there's ever been a time where the people who have the most power and the most money have ever been a lower class of individual.
	Just this petty, spying...
	Bureaucrat.
	It is a country of bureaucrats at this point.
	And before you were on the show, we were briefly talking about all these statues of just generic black women that are being erected all over the place and how they are tearing down the statues of these great men.
	They talked about how they tore down the statue of Father Francis Duffy, the most decorated clergyman to ever serve in the military, and the things he did during World War I, and to replace them with just this...
	Generic, overweight black woman, for no reason other than racial politics.
	We don't celebrate greatness anymore.
	And in fact, if you achieve greatness, chances are they will attribute it to the fact that, oh, you were white.
	Simply because you were white, you were destined to achieve greatness.
	It's continual divide and conquer.
	And if you don't give people standards, if you don't give them someone to look up to or to strive to be like, they simply won't do it.
	It's as simple as that.
	If you don't show people what others have achieved in the past.
	Again, it's a decline, though, across the board.
	I mean, you know, I was at a friend's birthday party last night.
	We started talking about, you know, urban renewal.
	The way they've destroyed this country with urban renewal.
	Like, I grew up in the Bronx.
	We moved out of there when they started putting all these projects up, knocking down entire neighborhoods to put up these ugly projects.
	Destroying cities, putting roads right through them.
	Hey, you know, travel around the world.
	Take the trains.
	Oh, China, where they go by 300 miles an hour.
	Got AMCRAP.
	I went down to Philadelphia.
	What a joke.
	What a sick joke.
	AMCRAP.
	Take a look at the roads.
	Roddy bumps all over the place.
	Take the subway in New York City.
	It's a night in Calcutta.
	All right?
	Bureaucrats.
	Low-life pieces of crap in every city, state, and from the federal government.
	And it's not only in America.
	Again, I can't stand going to Italy anymore as an Italian.
	The bureaucracy there is one of the worst.
	I got buddies that have places.
	They can't do a damn thing.
	It's control.
	And control by the freaks.
	Again, not making it up.
	Take a look at the clown show.
	Take a look over there in France.
	That little Gatson Macron with a pecker like this if he has one.
	And his little fake hair and a bad attitude.
	A little nothing of a clown over there in the UK.
	Starmer?
	Who was the one before him?
	Boris Johnson.
	The best cartoonist in the world could not come up with a freaky-looking little clown and that jerk over there.
	Look what just happened in Germany.
	Bringing in Mertz.
	Oh, where did he come from?
	Oh, Blackrock.
	Oh, Blackrock.
	Headed by the Fink.
	Oh, yeah.
	And what are they doing in Germany?
	Building up their military.
	That's right.
	Oh, the Germans.
	A trillion dollars.
	They're taking out a trillion dollars in debt to build up their military.
	Wait a minute.
	Germany's been in a recession for two years.
	Heading for a third year.
	We gotta stop those Russians because if we don't stop them, they will invade Europe.
	Wait a minute.
	Are Germans telling me this?
	You mean the Germans that killed over 25 million Russians in Operation Barbarossa in World War II?
	Listen to John F. Kennedy's speech to graduating students at American University, 1963, June.
	All about peace and saying we should not hate the people of the Soviet Union.
	They suffered more than anybody in World War II.
	He said they killed over 20 million of them, the Russians, the Germans.
	And they destroyed their farms, their factories, and their homes, the equivalent of Chicago East.
	These are Kennedy's words.
	It was all about peace, by the way.
	And then that was in June, July, August, September, October, November.
	Jackie are dead.
	They killed him anyway.
	Now we got this guy Mertz saying we got to stop the Russians?
	This is the Germans that America fought against in two world wars?
	That slaughtered all these people?
	Yeah, I'm not making this up.
	There's one article after another.
	Let's see if I have it over here.
	Here we go.
	Ready?
	This is from Financial Times today.
	Berlin backs U.S. call.
	Germany has signaled it will raise defense spending in line with U.S. President Donald Trump's request for NATO members to reach 5% of their GDP.
	And it goes on and on and on and on about how all these countries are spending more and more money on defense To fight the Russians.
	It's truly mind-boggling to me that they're able to get away with this, as if the United States wasn't playing power games in Ukraine for years leading up to this.
	As if Russia one day just woke up and decided, oh, I think I'd like to take Ukraine.
	As if the American people are so completely and utterly ignorant of what goes on in Europe.
	And if they weren't, they wouldn't be able to get away with stuff like this.
	They're completely ignorant of the fact that the United States basically installed a puppet regime with Zelensky, or the fact that they've been pushing Ukraine towards NATO for years and years.
	And for years, Russia has made it clear that they do not want NATO on their front doorstep.
	And they basically backed Russia into a corner and forced their hand in some ways.
	And the fact that the American people act...
	So utterly blameless in this and act as if it is Ukraine's duty to fight to the last man.
	I see that all the time.
	Americans online will just so cavalierly and callously say, you know, Ukraine has to fight to the last man, to the last man.
	It's like, well, that's very easy for you to say, isn't it?
	From your cushy armchair here in America, where you're not the one that's having to deal with it.
	You're not the, you know, you're not the family of these men that will never see them again.
	Or you're not living in these cities that are having to deal with the consequences of war.
	A war that we pushed.
	We accelerated it and we pushed it to the brink.
	And now we are telling Ukraine that they have to pay the price for our sins to some extent.
	And it is just infuriating to me to see that level of, as I said, cavalier, callous behavior when it comes to the lives and just the entire country itself.
	They're willing to burn Ukraine to the ground simply because Russia is the bad guy in their minds.
	They can only think of things in terms of the narrative they've been sold.
	There's no deeper context to things.
	There's never a question of, oh, well, wasn't Crimea actually Russian at one point?
	Aren't they more closely aligned with Russia culturally?
	Don't they speak Russian there?
	It is simply the fact that Ukraine has been cast as the good guy and Russia as the villain.
	And it is just horrifying to see the level of ignorance on display by people here.
	The chanting and the beating of the war drums, they are able to justify anything, whether it's Germany and their trillion dollar military budget now, or any of these other countries that are just salivating at the thought of getting to up their military budget because Russia is on the doorstep again, when in fact it is our fault that we pushed Ukraine towards NATO.
	We have fomented this situation.
	We have stoked the fires of war over and over again.
	And it's here now.
	I don't think anyone can fathom the level of devastation that a conflict in Europe that spirals out from these two singular countries would entail.
	It's been long enough that people have forgotten the devastation of World War II, and it was a truly horrifying event.
	Who knows how much culture was destroyed during World War II?
	How many beautiful buildings and just an entire generation of men just fed into this meat grinder of these pointless conflicts for the World War I or World War II?
	Just gone.
	Vanished.
	Simply for profit.
	The Nazis did need to be stopped, but it is just horrifying what we lost.
	During these conflicts.
	And another conflict in Europe, I think, would really cement just, you know, Europe would be gone.
	We would, for all practical purposes, we would lose so much more culture again.
	And I can't even fathom what that would cost us in the long run.
	Not just the lives, but the, you know, as I said, the culture.
	It'll be nuclear annihilation.
	That'll be the next war.
	Here, this is your Trends Journal.
	2014.
	See how happy that guy is?
	It's about the United States overthrow of the democratically elected government of Viktor Yanukovych in Ukraine.
	The article was written by Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, former Assistant Treasury Secretary under Reagan.
	Washington concluded that Russia needed to be confronted with or distracted by problems that would lead the Russian government less confident or able to counter Washington's aggression elsewhere.
	Ukraine presented the perfect opportunity for Washington to advance its hegemonic agenda.
	In a speech at the National Press Club last December, meaning 2013, Assistant Treasury Secretary of State Victoria Nuland boasted that Washington had invested $5 billion in non-governmental organization NGOs in the Ukraine for the purpose to, quote, teach democracy.
	All the data is here about the United States overthrow the government.
	People have no idea about this.
	Oh, you remember little Hunter Biden?
	Coquette Biden?
	Drug messed up Biden?
	Hunter Biden?
	And Chris Hines?
	The Hines family?
	Hines, 57?
	Oh, John Kerry's stepson-in-law?
	Oh yeah, he married the chick after the Hines guy died?
	Oh, they got to deal with Burisma Energy to be on their board of directors in Ukraine?
	Little clowns that know nothing about energy on the board of directors?
	People have no idea about these facts.
	All they do, but you said, you know, the people have always been uninformed.
	That's why I said to you, we need a renaissance.
	Facts don't matter.
	You have to get them with...
	Entertain the people.
	They know more about Taylor Swift.
	Yes.
	You do that with a renaissance.
	When I was a young guy and I started, I'll never forget.
	I was about 13 years old, 14 years old.
	My father's driving me, rest in peace.
	I'm sitting in the back of the car and I'm repeating what I heard on the news.
	And my father turns around and he looks at me and he said in Italian, Papagala, parrot.
	Stop repeating what everybody else is saying and think for yourself.
	He said that to me about five or six times in my life.
	And I realized that any time I said anything, I better have the facts to back it up.
	He wants you to know why you believe what you believe, not just...
	Then when I started to learn things, like you were saying, about the people being so uninformed, he said, son, take it easy.
	He said, people have little minds.
	The masses don't care about anything.
	Again, here's the fact.
	90% of the American people swallowed the crap spewing out of the mouth.
	Of a little boy of nothing.
	George W. Bush.
	We're going to get that guy Osama Bin Laden dead or alive.
	Alright?
	The longest war in American history.
	Totally forgotten.
	The people who follow.
	It's been like that for centuries.
	I'm a Yankee doodle dandy.
	A Yankee doodle do or die.
	All right?
	So you got to entertain the people.
	You got to do with the other things.
	You know, going back to, by the way, here's the way you mentioned about Crimea.
	They had a vote in 2014 that was monitored by the people that monitor voting.
	Over, I think about 84% or 86% of the people turned out to vote in Crimea.
	97% of them voted to leave Ukraine and go into the Russian Federation.
	You said it was part of Russia for centuries.
	But they don't talk about that.
	And you talked about NATO.
	The deal made between Bush Sr. and Gorbachev.
	Was it Gorbachev?
	Yeah, I think it was Gorbachev.
	Was that NATO would not move one inch further.
	At that time, there were 16 NATO countries.
	Now there were 32. All right?
	They lied.
	So if we had the Russians up in Canada with missiles aimed at us...
	And the Chinese down in Mexico, we'd be happy about that.
	So it's a bunch of hypocrisy.
	You know, before we keep going, I want to talk something about economics and what's going on in the equity market.
	Yes, please.
	We're forecasting a dot-com bust.
	In the Trends Journal, we had forecast it back in 2000, I had it here somewhere, 2014.
	We said that there would, excuse me, 1999.
	We said that there would be a dot-com bust.
	And there was.
	Here it is.
	This is when the Trends Journal used to be a quarterly.
	Now it's a weekly.
	And again, it's only $2.50 a week when you put in the code there for a night.
	We said...
	Dot-com overload will short-circuit many high expectations for huge profits in Internet commerce, entertainment, and a wide array of dot-com services.
	Following the holiday season, many of today's high-flying Internet stocks, the hottest IPOs, and newly emerging IPO wannabes will have begun their deep descent from their overvalued heights.
	We said by mid-2000s, the fallout...
	From the falling dot-coms will have worked its way through Wall Street.
	It fell by the second quarter of 2000.
	Oh, and then 9-11 happened after that, by the way.
	When all else fails, they take you to war.
	The NASDAQ was down 80%.
	People couldn't stand little Georgie Bush.
	Anyway, now let's go to dot-com bus 2.0.
	Trends are born, they grow, they mature, reach old age and die.
	The AI trend has just been born.
	Only three years ago, 2022.
	You don't invest all your money in the new IPOs and all the new companies that are inventing AI.
	And that's what's happened.
	Then we saw what happened.
	It's out of the news now.
	DeepSeek.
	End of January.
	DeepSeek.
	Oh yeah, Chinese company.
	Yeah, we don't need to spend $100 million to do our AI chat.
	We could do it for $6 million.
	And we don't need those big chips.
	Oh, and by the way, you're going to build all these big power plants to get these big chips.
	We don't need them.
	Oh, it costs you $100 million.
	Again, it only costs us $6 million.
	DeepSeek is the most used AI in the world.
	Again, with tracking trends, you make connections between different fields.
	Bill Clinton brought China into the World Trade Organization.
	Officially, they joined in two weeks after 9-11.
	Go back to 2000.
	10% of Chinese 18-year-olds went to college.
	10%.
	Today, almost 70%.
	You got 1.4 billion people.
	We got 347 million.
	And now we're getting less people going to college and they're dumbing down in this country in front of everybody's eyes.
	Young people are totally tech addicted.
	This is their world.
	Now they're going to college for this.
	They are going to lead the world in AI.
	And all of the overinvestment in these companies.
	It's going to go way down.
	What Trump just did doing this deal with NVIDIA, you know, over in the Middle East, having them, you know, Saudi Arabia, somebody buying, you know, how many hundreds of millions of dollars of chips or whatever.
	That's temporary stuff.
	It's temporary.
	So there's going to be a dot-com bust as we see it.
	And there's going to be an office building bust.
	It's out of the news.
	When they launched the COVID war, forced people to work at home, a lot of people are still not going back to work.
	They're going back to work two or three days a week, three days a week.
	So what happens is, remember, the COVID war happened five years ago, launched on Chinese Lunar New Year, the year of the rat, in 2020.
	The leases are due now.
	Leases, like five or ten year leases.
	So a lot of these leases are up.
	And the people aren't renewing them.
	There's going to be foreclosures in these office buildings.
	You can look it up.
	20% of the offices in the 10 largest cities in America are vacant.
	Vacant.
	Nobody there.
	Nobody there.
	So, there's going to be banks that are going to go bust.
	And that's why we're still very bullish on gold, even though gold prices are down some 300 bucks from their high.
	They're still way up there.
	And we see the worst coming yet.
	But they're not talking about it in the major media.
	This is a story in the Wall Street Journal two days ago about the retail property market rebound is fizzling.
	Retailers vacated nearly 6 million square feet than they occupied during the first three months of this year, according to Cushman and Wakefield.
	That marked, you ready?
	The weakest quarter for shopping center leasing since the onset of the pandemic in 2020.
	And by the way, they call it a pandemic.
	The World Horror Organization, or excuse me, the World Health Organization, yeah, I mixed it up.
	Easy mistake to make.
	They called it a pandemic.
	You can look it up.
	On March 11th, 2020, the COVID war broke out in China on Chinese Lunar New Year, the Year of the Rat, in January 2020.
	January, February, March.
	March 11th, they called it a pandemic, when the grand total of 4,219 people died out of 8. More people fell down the stairs and broke their neck during that time.
	You're calling it a pandemic?
	Yeah, traffic accidents, that massively outpaced it in death.
	It truly is mind-boggling what they were able to accomplish with just so few deaths.
	They were able to gin up this level of fear and hysteria, and people just gave them everything.
	On what you're talking about with the office building bus, the company my wife works for, they sent everyone back home.
	They had everyone work from home.
	And once they realized, like, oh, hey, we don't need this much office space, they chopped what they were renting in half.
	They keep a small, small office for a few people to do some work there.
	But other than that, everyone works from home now.
	That's a huge lease that this building had that's just now gone for all practical purposes.
	Yep.
	And nobody's talking about this.
	It's not in the news at all.
	Oh, by the way, the spiking gold prices.
	The gold prices are spiking up.
	Not a word.
	Not a word about it in the mainstream media.
	They're prestitutes.
	They're media whores that get paid to put out by the corporate pimps and government hallmasters.
	And again, you can thank that slimeball, Bill Clinton.
	By the way, this was a t-shirt that I got made up in 1992 when he was running for president.
	Could you see that?
	Yeah, that's a great t-shirt.
	Beware Slick Willie.
	This is the guy that deregulated...
	The Federal Communications Act 1996.
	There were thousands of independent radio stations, TV stations, newspapers in this country at one time.
	Now six companies control 92% of the media.
	This is the slime ball that deregulated the Glass-Steagall Act.
	One thing I have to report.
	Oh, get the manufacturing jobs out of this country.
	Go down to China.
	You get cheap labor, all right?
	I'm making a lot of money to do this.
	They pay me off.
	I'm a multi-millionaire.
	I'm worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
	I'm a little slime ball of nothing, but look at all the money I got now.
	All right?
	Look at the clown lady.
	That's his wife.
	Hillary Clinton.
	Hillary Clinton.
	Look at the payoff.
	He gets like three, four hundred thousand dollars an hour to hear BS to the Goldman Sachs gang.
	They're called payoffs.
	Morons and imbeciles, by the way, call it they give campaign contributions.
	They're bribes and payoffs.
	That's all they are.
	So this slime ball sold this country out aboard China to the World Health Organization.
	Trade Organization, rather.
	Before that, you look at China's GDP.
	From 1970 to 2001, it's like this.
	They get into the World Trade Organization, and the manufacturers in the United States, Europe, brought all the manufacturing over there and gave China the heavy industry and high-tech technology they never had.
	And now they're leading.
	Oh, you want to buy an EV?
	How about BYD?
	Oh, the biggest sales?
	What's a BYD?
	Oh, you mean the big Chinese EV companies?
	Oh, the Chinese are advancing in battery manufacturing.
	The Chinese are advancing across the board as this country keeps going down.
	Thanks to slimeball politicians.
	By the way, there's never been a better time for a third party than now.
	Never in my lifetime.
	Yeah, the fatigue that people feel with the two main parties, I mean, again, I'm a...
	I don't have the experience you have, but just seeing it, that people are fed up with the Republicans and Democrats and the continual promises to change things, but then as soon as they get in, it is business as usual.
	I think you're right.
	Now is the time for a third party to try again.
	I know that the Libertarian Party has tried for years, but they've kind of fallen by the wayside.
	They've kind of sold out their values.
	They do such...
	Again, I've supported them.
	There's more ones that they run for president.
	By the way, just to give you a little background, I began my career working on political campaigns in Westchester County, the richest county in America at the time.
	I was the assistant to the Secretary of the New York State Senate.
	I designed and instructed a course called American Politics and Campaign Technology.
	How to run political campaigns.
	And I taught it at St. John's University.
	I know how to do this stuff.
	I hit the top real big because it's a freak show in there.
	And it's a whole long story of how I got in there.
	Anyway, I was just looking to do something.
	So I'd been there.
	And I'm telling you, I mentioned this shirt.
	One of my books, Trend Tracking, far better than Megatrends, Time Magazine, 1989, I'd forecast there'd be a new third party and someone like Ross Perot would be the person they're looking for.
	And that happened.
	This is from the toilet paper of record.
	They call themselves the paper record.
	The New York Times, Thursday's edition.
	Look at this big story.
	Look at this big Half a page.
	Moronic story.
	You ready?
	Buttigieg stirs 2028 speculation with an appeal to patriotism in Iowa.
	A little clown boy of nothing for president in the Democrat Party.
	Oh no, I like AOC.
	How about little Bernie Sanders?
	How about one little freak after another?
	If Trump wasn't in the Republican Party, who would they have?
	Nobody.
	Yeah, I can't think of a single person from the Republican Party that really stands a chance.
	You've got people like Ted Cruz who have run before, but no one likes Ted Cruz.
	A little jerk!
	Look at the clown show, little Marco Rubio.
	Look at that little jerk.
	A little nothing.
	A little nothing.
	Oh, I'm the Secretary of State.
	Oh, I forgot the one before him.
	How about little Anthony Blinken?
	Oh, you forgot about him, everybody?
	Why, I went to Harvard.
	I went to Dalton.
	My daddy was the ambassador to Hungary.
	My uncle was the ambassador to...
	Belgium, I'm just a gutless little clown but a little warmongering freak.
	Oh, by the way, yesterday, only 103 Palestinians killed.
	Today, about 110 killed.
	No news.
	Keep slaughtering those Palestinians.
	They don't count.
	Bomb it into ruins.
	We don't care.
	Give them more money.
	All you taxpayers out there, don't forget!
	Give your money to Israel to keep killing those people and committing genocide.
	It's the American way.
	That is one of the things that has begun to just truly upset me the most, is seeing what my tax dollars fund across the globe and the universal evil that it continually funds.
	What's happening in Gaza is a tragedy on a daily basis.
	Where's the outrage?
	Yeah.
	The pictures I've seen of the children and the fathers holding their children, it is heartbreaking.
	Heartbreaking?
	I don't understand how people cannot, how they can see that and not just be moved to do something to, you know, protest or at least talk about it and try to show people that this is evil, that these, that the Israeli government is perpetrating a genocide.
	and it is evil.
	I'm not saying, and if you bring it up, they try to paint you as anti-Semitic.
	If you don't immediately support Benjamin Netanyahu and his desire to steamroll Gaza and kill everyone there, you're anti-Semitic.
	And it is just this horrifying, just reductive binary that they have produced in people.
	By the way, Every one of my Jewish friends is totally opposed to what's going on in it.
	And again, as I say, three of my last four girlfriends were Jewish.
	And I tell you, I thank everybody with the pictures.
	And I also thank the people that passed on that were great into my life.
	And there was Al Bolotten, Mr. and Mrs. Singer, Mr. and Mrs. Rosenblatt, Herbie and Harold, all Jewish people that were so good to me.
	Burt Feinstein, you know, has nothing to do with religion.
	You know, call me an anti-Semite.
	If I'm against Mussolini, does that make me, as an Italian, an anti-Italian?
	If I hated Hitler, does that make me anti-German?
	You know, grow up with this crap.
	Oh, and by the way, if you say it in America, look what Trump is doing.
	It'll throw you out of the country.
	Just, I'm expecting us to be evicted any day now.
	You're going to get the knock on the door.
	It's like, off to El Salvador we go.
	Yeah.
	No, it's so sad.
	I'm telling you, I've got to write about this every day.
	Every day.
	And it breaks my heart.
	Again, in the magazine two weeks ago, over a thousand, since they ended the ceasefire agreement, which...
	Israel's broken, but nobody talks about that.
	In March, a thousand kids have lost their arms and their legs.
	They show the pictures.
	Could you imagine a little kid growing up without a foot, an arm, a hand?
	Could you imagine what your life is?
	And bombing the place into total ruins.
	Total ruins and hearing the crap coming out of Trump's mouth.
	A lot of places destroyed.
	We're going to make it a free zone.
	What are you talking about?
	Oh, the Riviera, I forgot.
	Oh, how about his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, calling it very valuable waterfront property.
	Oh, you mean Jared Kushner and Trump just getting back from the Middle East?
	That they gave him over $3 billion, the Saudi gang that gave Jared Kushner for his hedge fund?
	Or private equity group, whatever he's inventing?
	Over $3 billion?
	Hey!
	Hey!
	I'm Jared Kushner.
	You know who used to come to America?
	He used to stay at my parents' house.
	Yeah, that's Jared Kushner.
	It's a crime syndicate that people call a government.
	They're all in bed with each other, all intertwined.
	And just the way Trump talks about Gaza is as if it doesn't involve real people, as if it's nothing more than a tract of land to be utilized for whatever purpose he sees fit.
	It's heartless.
	It is utterly callous.
	There are people losing their life there every day.
	There are children being maimed and killed.
	And just to see them treat it as nothing more than an area for development, it is sickening to see that.
	It is just horrifying that they are so utterly detached from humanity, and it is nothing more than an economic zone for them to exploit.
	New Israeli strike kills over 100.
	In Gaza on Thursday.
	Yep.
	And again, today, before I got on the air, another over 100.
	And Trump, U.S. should take Gaza, make it a freedom zone.
	And you know what Trump called when Hamas attacked?
	Which, of course, I'm totally against what they did on October 7th.
	One of the worst days in history.
	He got some.
	How about Hiroshima?
	Oh, you forgot Nagasaki?
	Oh, Dresden was great.
	What are you talking about?
	One of the worst days in history.
	Oh, and by the way, the Israelis killed a lot of those people.
	The Hannibal Project, that's right.
	Oh yeah, that's not my language.
	That's from the, haha, that's the Israeli newspaper.
	They were shooting the people as the Hamas was taking them.
	Don't call it one of the...
	Worst days in history in the world, he said.
	What are you talking about?
	This is like, we're working very hard in Gaza.
	Gaza has a history of death and destruction.
	And he said that the United States wants to, quote, take Gaza and turn it into a freedom zone.
	What right do you have to be then?
	The Palestinian people have lived there for years, beyond count.
	In the timescale, longer than America has been a country, the Palestinians have been on that land.
	Oh, they've been there for centuries.
	And to have this entitlement to be able to come in and say, well, we're just going to take it and we'll do whatever we want with it, and we will disenfranchise you and displace you from your historical land is so incredibly disgusting to me.
	But Trump has always loved his eminent domain.
	We covered that briefly today on the show as well.
	He's always been in favor of eminent domain in any form, whether it's kicking the Gazans off their land or taking land from an old lady for his casinos.
	Trump has no principles.
	He will do anything.
	He is simply another member of this criminal mafia.
	As you said, they will do anything for power.
	They don't care who it costs or how many lives it costs.
	No, it's heartbreaking.
	It's heartbreaking.
	And again, you know, how about what they call the people in the West Bank, settlers?
	They're invaders.
	Violation of the Geneva Convention, and you were in Article 242.
	And what do you got, about 600,000 of them over there?
	They just threw out, over the last month, 40,000.
	40,000 Palestinians out of their homes in the West Bank.
	40,000!
	Calm down, Salenti.
	Don't raise your voice.
	Be a little nobody like the rest of us.
	What do we care?
	Settlers.
	They're invaders.
	And here's the other thing.
	You mentioned about anti-Semite.
	These aren't Semites.
	Semites are from the Mesopotamia region.
	Palestinians are Semites.
	These are Eastern European Jews.
	Netanyahu, what's his real name?
	Omelikowski?
	Yeah.
	From Poland.
	Ben-Gurion.
	Oh, you mean Green?
	This is a lot of crap.
	They're Eastern European invaders.
	They're not Semites.
	It is the confusion that has gone on in the Middle East for years because of our involvement there.
	It is spiraled out of control and no one...
	I fully believe that we should just get out of it and we should leave the, leave the people who live there to sort out how they want to live there by That's right.
	Celente, it has been such a pleasure speaking with you.
	We've got one minute left.

	Music
	The Common Man.
	They created Common Core to dumb down our children.
	They created Common Past to track and control us.
	Their Commons Project to make sure the commoners own nothing.
	And the communist future.
	They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
	But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
	That is what we have in common.
	That is what they want to take away.
	Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation.
	They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us.
	It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
	Please share the information and links you'll find at TheDavidKnightShow.com Thank you for listening.
	Thank you for sharing.
