	As the clock strikes 13, it is Wednesday, the 28th of May, Year of Our Lord, 2025.
	And today we're going to look at Trump's meme coin dinner and how, just like everything else, he over-promises and under-delivers.
	Then, tensions rising in Europe as Germany is sending longer-range weapons to Ukraine.
	And in the third hour, I'm going to be speaking to Billy Ray Valentine.
	So stay with us.
	Well, welcome everyone.
	I hope you're having a good morning so far.
	I want to start out today, of course, by thanking you all for your continued prayers and ask that you do continue to pray.
	And I'd like to ask you to specifically pray for my dad's vocal cords and healing for the nerve in his tongue that they had to move while they were doing the surgery.
	He is very eager to be able to speak with you all again, so please pray specifically for healing for those things.
	And again, thank you all for the prayers you have already sent up.
	But as I said, we're going to start with looking at Trump's meme coin dinner, because just like always, he over-promises and under-delivers.
	People were not happy with it.
	They got there and said the food was absolutely disgusting.
	It was the worst food they'd ever had at one of his resorts, in fact.
	The dinner people got for spending tons of money on Trump's meme coin is unintentionally hilarious.
	It was the worst food I've ever had at a Trump golf course.
	Imagine not only spending your hard-earned American dollars on President Donald Trump's worthless meme coin, but also being threatened with barely edible meal at his golf course.
	We actually have a picture here of Donald Trump enjoying his meal at the golf course that I'm going to show you real fast.
	Here we can see Donald Trump.
	Thoroughly enjoying his meal.
	No, I am, of course, for those of you just listening, this is a joke.
	We have a picture of a rat.
	It is captioned, Godless beast enjoying his wretched meal.
	So, I found that quite funny.
	That was the reality for 200 lucky investors.
	Who, as four of the attendees told Wired, were treated to a genuinely disgusting-looking dinner at the Trump National Golf Club, Washington, D.C., which, despite its name, is actually located in the town of Sterling, Virginia.
	And, of course, these are the people who bought most of Trump's garbage coin.
	Like the misleading name of the president's golf course, the dinner, those Trump coin buyers were served sounds much better in writing than it looked in photos.
	Guests were given what was supposed to be a pan-seared halibut in a citrus reduction and an alleged filet mignon with a demi-glaze accompanied by a damp-looking pile of carrots and zucchini topped off with a very, very sad scoop of mashed potatoes, no gravy apparent.
	Seriously, look at this crap.
	It's enough to turn the stomach.
	And if we can pull up that article, you'll be able to see that it is a very sad-looking dinner indeed.
	I would be utterly disgusted to have received this, especially with the amount of money they paid.
	You'd think they would be getting the prime cuts.
	They'd get the best chef in there to serve the people that have spent that much money on Trump's garbage rug pull coin.
	Nicholas Pinto, a 25-year-old TikToker who spent roughly $300,000 to get his seat at the table, seemed mighty disenchanted by the entire experience when he spoke to Wired.
	It was the worst food I've ever had at a Trump golf course, he said.
	Noting that he left hungry, the only good thing was the bread and butter.
	Yeah, it's very hard to mess up bread and butter.
	So I guess even that was beyond their scope.
	Along with being served that horrific meal, the night's attendees also were forced to watch the two-time president and perennial Broadway enthusiast shimmy and shake to the Village People's classic song, YMCA.
	They didn't even get their gifts delivered by the president himself.
	Trump could have at least given the top people their watches himself, Pinto, the TikToker, told Wired, of the gem-encrusted gold watches given to the top four Trump holders and two additional raffle winners.
	He didn't.
	All told, it sounds like a hellacious night, but as they always say, you get what you pay for.
	That's right, when it comes to Trump, you definitely get what you pay for.
	Tony Garrett, not a big, beautiful feast then.
	No, apparently not.
	It was apparently more of a sad, tiny prison meal.
	In fact, I would argue that people on death row, their last meal is probably better than that most of the time.
	You'll never guess what happened to Trump's mean coin after he announced his tariffs.
	Yes, I'm sure many in our audience will be able to.
	Need money back, sir.
	Donald Trump's eponymous meme coin is worth less than ever in the wake of his tariffs finally being launched.
	Less than 24 hours after the president announced the long-anticipated reciprocal trade tariffs on domestic imports, his Trump cryptocurrency's value dropped to a meager $9 per token.
	And that's down from $15.
	Getting close to losing half of its initial value.
	That's a new all-time low, and remember, it's only launched about 10 weeks ago ahead of the real estate scion being sworn in for a second time.
	Obviously, there are far bigger concerns afoot than the president's.
	Garbage coin tanking, but you have to admit that it's pretty hilarious that it's happening this way.
	Still, the debacle illustrates that Trump's nonsensical trade war isn't just hurting the entire global economy, which has essentially been lit on fire by the tariffs, but even his own business interests.
	That's right.
	He has such little foresight and such little critical thinking skills that he will torpedo his own businesses.
	And, as we have seen, he's just not a good businessman.
	Can't even keep casinos running.
	Ironically, the tariff announcement came just after the news broke that the Trump coin would be unlocking 40 million tokens or 20% of its lockdown supply.
	Later in April, it's the first time the meme coin has held such an event since its launch in January and could theoretically have generated the kind of buzz that would drive its value up.
	Instead, it made nary a blip, and after the tariff-induced price slump, it's hard to imagine anyone actually wanting to buy Trump anytime soon.
	Per a very unofficial poll on the crypto ticker site CoinGecko, meanwhile, a whopping 77% of people who took a confidence survey about the official Trump coin said they felt negatively about it.
	That's right.
	Buyer's remorse has set in.
	People are beginning to wonder, why did I buy this?
	Am I going to lose it all?
	From overtaking the SHIB and Pepe meme coins, yes, we're rolling our eyes to.
	When its value surpassed $60 per token and rising to an all-time high of nearly $75, the Trump coin has been remarkably volatile, even for its market.
	Even on unelected co-president Elon Musk's ex-social network, news of this latest Trump slump resulted in japes and jibes.
	Donald Trump just destroyed the entire financial markets, stocks, crypto, and even his garbage coin.
	They're not using the word garbage coin.
	One user jeered, everyone hates him now.
	What a fraud.
	In another post, a satirist jokingly begged the president to mention his meme coin at all.
	Please, just talk about Trump coin, the user wrote.
	Need money back, sir.
	Those who willingly bought the president's meme coin are clearly in the find-out portion of the F-around and find-out adage amid the tariff turmoil.
	And unfortunately, the rest of the world is right there with them.
	The real question is, how have they not managed to find out before this?
	Trump has given them many, many opportunities to learn what he's actually about.
	That he's actually only about profits for him and his rich friends.
	And despite that, these people still trusted him.
	They still put their money into his coin, knowing full well that he was just another billionaire who was out for himself and out for his own ilk.
	The real Octo spook.
	I love having our president's office use as a meme coin retailer store, don't you?
	Yes, I love that he markets all these random Chotskis and the meme coin.
	It's amazing that people thought a meme coin was going to be a good long-term investment, but I guess that's the euphoria surrounding Trump for you.
	Yes, Trump euphoria.
	The high is starting to wear off for some of these people, and the crash and hangover is on its way.
	Trump pardoned tax cheat after Mother attended $1 million dinner.
	I'm sure those aren't correlated at all.
	I'm sure Donald Trump would never simply pardon someone because he was a political friend and ally.
	He would never do something like that.
	He has principles.
	Paul Walczak's pardon application cited his mother's support for the president, including raising millions of dollars and a connection to a plot to publicize a Biden family diary.
	Hey, wasn't I a good little stooge?
	Hasn't my mom been a valuable stooge as well?
	If we have, I think that you should pardon me.
	Of course, you know, that's how he does business.
	If you've been valuable to Trump, you can and will get pardoned.
	However, it might take him a while to pardon others.
	Again, the pardoning of the January Sixers is probably the best thing he's done while he's been in office.
	So we thank him for that.
	They deserved that pardon.
	Paul Walczak in 2011, his recent pardon by President Trump spared him from having to pay nearly $4.4 million in restitution and serving 18 months in prison.
	Kenneth P. Vogel has reported on presidential pardons.
	He reported from Washington.
	As Paul Walczak awaited sentencing earlier this year, his best hope for avoiding prison time rested with the newly inaugurated president.
	Mr. Walczak, a former nursing home executive who had pleaded guilty to tax crimes days after the 2024 election, submitted a pardon application to President Trump around Inauguration Day.
	The application focused not solely on Mr. Walchak's offenses, but also on the political activity of his mother, Elizabeth Fago.
	That's right.
	We've been good little members of the party.
	We've made so much money for you, Mr. Trump.
	Haven't we been good little stooges?
	Please, please give me a pardon.
	Ms. Fago had raised millions of dollars for Mr. Trump's campaigns and those of other Republicans, the application said.
	Yes, this is corruption right out in the open.
	He is just openly admitting, give me a pardon because we have made money for you and your friends.
	We helped get you elected.
	He is not talking about whether or not, or at least they're not focusing on whether or not he is innocent of the crime.
	It is simply a matter of being useful to Donald Trump.
	It also highlighted her connections to an effort to sabotage Joseph R. Biden Jr.'s 2020 campaign by publicizing the addiction diary of his daughter, Ashley Biden, an episode that drew law enforcement scrutiny.
	Walchak's pardon of application argued that his criminal prosecution was motivated more by his mother's efforts for Mr. Trump than by his admitted use of money earmarked for employees' taxes to fund an extravagant lifestyle.
	Still weeks went by and no pardon was forthcoming, even as Mr. Trump issued clemency grants to hundreds of other allies.
	Then Ms. Faygo was invited to a $1 million per person dinner, a fundraising dinner, last month that promised face-to-face access to Mr. Trump at his private Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida.
	And of course, that's when they were given the pardon.
	when it came through after she once again went to the $1 million dinner.
	They're not even trying to hide it.
	This is another article about it.
	This is from the Independent.
	Trump partnered a tax cheat, but only after his mom attended President's $1 million dinner.
	Former nursing home executive who had pleaded guilty to tax crimes has been pardoned by President Donald Trump based on an application apparently focused not just on his offenses, but on the political activity of his mother.
	That's right.
	He actually pled guilty.
	He was like, yeah, I did it.
	It was me.
	But he still goes to Donald Trump and says, look, hey, we made you a lot of money.
	We helped get you elected.
	We helped get your friends elected.
	Don't you think that's worth pardoning me?
	Sure.
	I did the crime, but since I've been such a good little stooge, you should let me go anyway.
	Paul Walczak submitted his application for a pardon days after Trump's inauguration, noted that his mother, Elizabeth Fago, had raised millions of dollars for the president's campaign, as well as those of other Republicans.
	The New York Times reports citing a person who received the application but was not authorized to share it.
	It also claimed that Fago had connections to an effort to damage President Joe Biden's 2020 campaign by publicizing the diary.
	And this is the diary that purports to show that they are pedophiles.
	Very, very gross things in that diary, folks.
	The application reportedly argued that Walchak's criminal prosecution had resulted from his mother's political advocacy rather than the crimes to which he pled guilty, specifically using money for employee taxes to fund his lifestyle, including the purchase of a yacht.
	So instead of paying his taxes, like most of these rich people do, he goes out and buys himself a yacht.
	Of course, we can debate the tax code all we want.
	We can talk about whether the taxes are legitimate, but for now, they are in the books, and he is guilty of that crime.
	And as such, instead of saying, no, I'm not guilty, this is a fraud, I'm being strung up for this, he just goes and says, hey, my mom.
	My mom is a big donor.
	I'm a big donor.
	Mr. Trump, come on.
	Weeks after the application for clemency was submitted, there was no news while other Trump allies received pardons.
	It was then that Faygo was invited to a $1 million per person fundraising dinner at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach.
	Walchak was facing 18 months in prison, two years of supervised release, and would have to pay $4.4 million in restitution, according to a sentence handed down 12 days earlier.
	So instead of paying the $4.4 million in restitution, he just pays $1 million directly to Donald Trump or his mother does at a dinner.
	That's a pretty good deal, folks.
	$1 million instead of $4.4.
	Easy choice to make.
	The judge justified ordering the jail time by saying that there is not a get-out-of-jail-free card for the rich.
	Well, I think we all know that to not be true.
	In fact, the rich basically have infinite to get out of jail free cards.
	A White House official echoed the applications argument telling It's very possible that they did go after him simply because of his politics.
	But he did plead guilty to the crime.
	It was established that he did do these things.
	And instead of doing the time...
	Walczak withheld taxes from employee paychecks totaling $7.4 million between 2016 and 2019.
	Over the same time period, he also didn't pay $3.4 million of his business's portion of employee Social Security and Medicare taxes.
	According to the Justice Department, during this time, $1 million was spent on a yacht.
	Hundreds of thousands of dollars was transferred to personal accounts, and business accounts were used for shopping at Bergdorf, Goodman, Cartier, and Sachs.
	Furthermore, in 2018, he ceased filing personal tax returns despite continuing to receive a salary and transferring funds from the business accounts to his own personal use.
	Other transfers were made to a family member and his wife.
	In total, he owed the IRS $10.9 million.
	And of course, if any of us were to owe the IRS that much money, we would immediately be thrown in the gulag.
	But not him.
	He gets special treatment.
	Well, I'm sure anyone could buy that million-dollar special treatment.
	It's not just him.
	Yes, just so long as you have the money to buy off Donald Trump.
	This reminds me of that story of, was it Giuliani?
	Yes, with John Kiriakou.
	Yeah.
	Where he goes in to talk about, could I get a pardon?
	You know, I would like to be able to receive my pension.
	And when he goes to ask about the pardon, Giuliani gets up and the two goons who are with him instead discuss it and they say, well, you're going to have to pay, I forget the exact sum, but the amount he would have to pay to Giuliani for the pardon would have been more than what his pension was worth.
	I believe it was a million dollars that they wanted in the pension.
	It would have been about $750,000.
	So it would not have been worthwhile for John Kiriakou to do that.
	But again, this is how they do business.
	I mean, assuming you're all right with the whole concept of the bribe in the first place.
	Yeah.
	But I remember when they first told that story, it was just remarkable the level of corruption.
	That, oh no, you're not going to, He goes up and says, stands up and says, well, I'm going to use the restroom.
	And of course, his two goons are the ones that outright say these things.
	So in case there is any blowback...
	They must have been doing this behind my back.
	Trump Media strikes $2.5 billion deal aimed at buying Bitcoin tokens.
	Here's what's behind the move.
	Trump Media and Technology Group on Tuesday said it struck a deal to raise $2.5 billion that will be tapped to buy Bitcoin, creating a reserve of the cryptocurrency.
	The company's move into crypto comes after Trump Media has ventured into other investment arenas, Well, isn't that sweet?
	In its Tuesday announcement, Trump media said it has an agreement with about 50 institutional investors to buy 1.5 billion of the company's stock along with another 1 billion in debt that can be converted into stock at a later date.
	The 2.5 billion in funds will be used to create a Bitcoin treasury, which the company said will be added to its balance sheet.
	This would be in addition to cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments that Trump Media already holds, which it said were worth $759 million.
	So we're going up to $2.5 billion.
	President Trump, the largest investor in Trump Media, has increasingly focused on crypto, both through his private business and his administration.
	He has directed his officials to create a national crypto strategic reserve that will include Bitcoin, Ethereum, and lesser-known cryptos.
	The goal for Trump Media, best known for its Truth Social app, which we all know what a rousing success that was, is to push the company into becoming more than a tech business, according to CEO Devin Nunez.
	Is anyone actually on Truth Social besides Trump?
	Is he just the only one there at this point?
	It's a big step forward in the company's plan to evolve into a holding company by acquiring additional profit-generating crown jewel assets consistent with America's first principles, Nunez said in the Tuesday statement.
	Shares of Trump media tumbled to $2.14 or 8.3% to $0.23.
	$1.58 in early afternoon trading because the deal is based on issuing $1.5 billion worth of new shares of the company.
	As well, $1 billion in convertible debt.
	The offer could dilute the value of existing shareholder stock, including Mr. Trump's.
	Trump media's push into money management and cryptocurrencies comes as Truth Social continues to lose money.
	And in fact, most of these social media companies would lose money if it were not for the ways that they sell off your data.
	They need a very large user base, which they can exploit to turn a profit.
	YouTube was massively unprofitable for years and years and years and simply survived off cash injections from Google.
	Streaming sites in general are incredibly unprofitable.
	It takes a lot of bandwidth and a lot of storage to host video and as such they are In the first quarter, Truth Social lost $31.2 million, while its revenue rose 7% to $821 million in May.
	Ninth regulatory filing, Trump Media said its Truth Social has generated limited advertising revenue.
	That's probably because there are not many people on Truth Social at all.
	There's not many people there, and so they're not able to generate much revenue.
	To date, while it expects to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future as it builds its streaming business.
	As I said, streaming is massively unprofitable.
	It's normally only sustained by cash injections by the parent company.
	Social media businesses typically rely on advertising as a core source of revenue with companies targeting their ads.
	to specific demographics, such as app users who are, say, young parents or retirees.
	TrueSocial doesn't release data about the size of its user base, but rival social media apps have typically recorded much higher sales growth, such as Reddit, which said its fourth quarter in sales jumped 60% to 394.5 million from a year earlier.
	Knights of the Storm, it's pretty bad when you own your own social media company and still use Twitter.
	That's right.
	He knows that if you were to just post on Truth Social, almost no one would see it.
	It would require the journalists to go hunt it down and put it in the papers.
	That's why he is still on Twitter.
	Because Truth Social has a very small user base, from what I can see.
	By expanding into this realm, we aim to serve millions of investors in America and around the world who believe in the greatness of the American economy and want to invest in superior companies while avoiding the giant woke investment funds and politically motivated debanking.
	You know, you could do something about those debanking problems.
	You could take it upon yourself to potentially stop the banks from debanking people.
	You could...
	When I think about that, when I think about all the things he could be doing but has instead chosen to hang around or at minimum pardon Andrew Tate and bring him back to the United States, I am livid.
	We don't have PayPal.
	We have a hard time keeping And yet Andrew Tate, this scumbag, gets this special treatment.
	But Donald Trump won't do anything to help the common man.
	Just the people like him.
	Debanking is the term used by some conservative figures who have accused banks of barring them from opening accounts or blocking access to their assets because of their political views, prompting a Senate hearing in February over the issue.
	It's also been the focus of some crypto investors, such as Nathan McCauley, who testified in the Senate hearing that his bank had closed his company's account on short notice because they weren't comfortable with crypto transactions.
	Trump Media's crypto investment will help defend our company against harassment and discrimination by financial institutions, which plague many Americans and U.S. firms and will create synergies for subscription payments, a utility token, and other planned transactions across Truth Social.
	And truth plus, Nunez said in a statement, truth plus, that's right, it's not just truth, it's truth plus, it's extra truthy.
	More truth than the regular allotted amount of truth.
	Well, isn't that fun?
	MAGA unleashes on CBS propaganda Scott Pelley and latest headache for network boss trying to make amends with Trump.
	You really have to suck up to him once you piss him off.
	Once you have annoyed Donald Trump, you have to be the biggest sycophant you can imagine.
	A furious anti-Trump commencement speech given by CBS's News, Scott Pelley has added to a growing headache for his network bosses after it unleashed a torrent of backlash from the MAGA faithful.
	Pelley raged against the president as he warned the graduating class at Wake Forest.
	Oh, Wake Forest.
	I wonder if that's Wake Forest, North Carolina.
	Of an insidious fear permeating the nation since he retook the White House.
	After Pelley's speech went viral, the anchor was mocked for his dramatic mannerisms throughout the rebuke, as conservatives branded him a hypocrite for ranting about the sanctity I'm sure he is a hypocrite.
	He probably does make some good points about Donald Trump, though.
	But the speech may yet add to turmoil inside CBS as it faces $20 billion lawsuit from Trump accusing the network of deceptively editing its interview with Kamala Harris during the 2024 presidential election.
	The editing came as CBS's 60 Minutes program sat down with Harris in October when she gave a word-salad response to the Israel-Hamas conflict that was included on a YouTube clip, but was mysteriously removed from the broadcast.
	Don't you miss Kamala Harris?
	Don't you miss all the goofy, inane nonsense that she continually said?
	It was at least funny.
	Trump alleges, not that I'd want her as president, Trump alleges that the network tried to manipulate the American people by favoring his election opponent, with his lawsuit seen as a crisis for CBS parent company Paramount Global as it enters critical negotiations.
	As if they haven't been manipulating elections this entire time, of course the news media favors different candidates over the years.
	Almost always the left-wing ones.
	The huge lawsuit threatens to derail Paramount Global's anticipated sale to Skydance Media for $8 billion, with Pelley's inflammatory speech unlikely to warm Trump to the network.
	The potential sale of CBS's parent company to Skydance Media is the subject of a Federal Communications Commission investigation and must be approved by the FCC's chairman, Brendan Carr, a Trump appointee.
	Democratic Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren and Ron Wyden, what a gaggle of ghouls that is, recently issued a warning to the network warning that any settlement could be considered an illegal payoff.
	This may mean Paramount has to fight the lawsuit until its conclusion.
	With Pelley's speech likely to fuel the fire from the White House to make the network pay.
	Last month, Pelley also went rogue as he rebuked his own corporate bosses live on air and warned them against appeasing Trump to let the multi-billion dollar merger go through.
	You've got to imagine the higher-ups in the company are pulling their hair out, knowing how vindictive and petty Trump is while they have this man running around continually antagonizing him.
	Whether he's saying anything true about Donald Trump or not, we know that is no shield when it comes to how, as I said, vindictive Trump can be.
	Our parent company, Paramount, is trying to complete a merger.
	The Trump administration must approve it.
	Paramount began to supervise our content in new ways, he said.
	No one here is happy about it.
	The potential sale of Paramount to Skydance is reportedly critical for its controlling shareholders, Shari Redstone, whose family needs the $2.4 billion she would receive in shares to pay their mounting debts, or they risk losing billionaire status.
	Oh no, you might just be a petty common millionaire.
	What a horror that would be.
	You couldn't go to the big boy billionaire club and brag about how much money you have and how much nicer it is than being a millionaire.
	Universities are under attack.
	Freedom of speech is under attack.
	Yes, but they're under attack from both sides.
	They're under attack from the left and the right.
	It is not just Donald Trump attacking freedom of speech, of course.
	It is both.
	It took Donald Trump to make the universities care at all about freedom of speech as opposed to constantly opposing it.
	Yes, if Donald Trump were out of office, these people would be so obsequious and subservient to whatever left-wing loser was in power.
	Power can change the definition of the words we use to describe reality.
	Diversity is now described as illegal.
	Equity is to be shunned.
	Inclusion is a dirty word.
	This is an old playbook, my friends.
	There is nothing new in this.
	Well, it's because you've all made them dirty words, because you've all made them mean other things.
	You guys have stolen them.
	And turn them into jokes, into punchlines.
	Gasp!
	They're changing the definition of words?
	What a shock!
	This has long been a play of the left to change the meaning of words.
	So this is at least pointing that out, and now they're flipping that around and saying that you're changing the meaning of words.
	Yes.
	You always accuse the other side of what you are doing.
	Language predation has long been a tactic of the left.
	Trump supporters quickly launched on the anchor's speech with ex-users branding him angry and unhinged, saying he was making the anti-Trump remarks as he speaks openly and freely in America.
	This self-important sermonizing propagandist is what passes for a legacy media journalist when ex-user wrote.
	What?
	The F is up with Scott Pelley, another question.
	His speech at Wake Forest graduation was a national disgrace, in my opinion.
	He is not informed in talks only for the liberals.
	This makes me want to hurl.
	Of course, you expect the other side to champion your rights.
	You expect the liberals to stand up, actually say that the conservatives need rights to.
	No, they play purely partisan politics.
	That is a hallmark of the left wing.
	Among those who joined the pile on against Pelley was Juanita Broderick, who once accused former President Bill Clinton of rape.
	What a pompous POS she wrote on X. Others branded Pelley a hypocrite for his remarks about the sanctity of journalism as they pointed to his employer's allegedly deceptive editing of Harris' interview during the election campaign.
	Did Scott Pelley mention that 60 Minutes edited Kamala's campaign interview and helped her answer questions when X user responded?
	Until he does that, his credibility is zero.
	And of course, we all know that the credibility of any mainstream journalist should be zero.
	We have seen that over and over again.
	They have routinely debased themselves and shown that they are unworthy of your trust, that they cannot be trusted in even the slightest.
	We're going to move on from those topics.
	Before we do, I want to thank the people that have supported us.
	I have a list here.
	Jackie and Fred U. TK from Ohio.

	Thank you so much.
	He has sent a Wolfpack gift.
	So thank you so much, William R. That is incredibly kind.
	That is very, very kind of you.
	Well, that is the list of people I have to thank right now.
	So we are going to take a quick break and we will be right back.

	And I have some comments here from people on Subscribestar.
	This is from Paula.
	As always, praying for you and your family as God guides you through this valley to a complete recovery.
	Thank you so much, Paula.
	That is incredibly kind.
	Thank you for the support.
	This is from Dai.
	I'm not going to read out the full name.
	I don't want to accidentally give out too much information, but thank you.
	Travis, you've been doing a wonderful job filling in for your dad.
	In such a short time, you went from stumbling over your words to a real pro- And this is from Colonel.
	And thank you, Di, for the support.
	That is incredibly generous.
	This is from Colonel, and thank you for the support.
	That is also incredibly generous.
	I'm praying for a speed of recovery for you, David.
	I'm also praying for Karen, Travis, and Lance.
	Travis and Lance are doing an incredibly good job running the show.
	It's really impressive.
	I definitely miss seeing and hearing you, though, David.
	I've watched and listened to every show for now for six years.
	I wish you peace and happiness in your recovery.
	Thank you for everything you have given to the world and to me.
	Well, thank you so much, Colonel.
	Really do appreciate that.
	Thank you so much for the kind words, and especially for the prayers for our dad.
	We do ask that you continue to pray, and as I said at the beginning of the show, specifically pray for the nerves in his tongue and his vocal cords, that they would be healed.
	We're now going to take a look at what is going on in Europe.
	Germany Mertz says Western allies no longer impose range limits on Ukrainian weapons.
	That's right, so now they can ship even longer range weapons into Ukraine so that Russia has to be more concerned about strikes deeper into their heartland.
	Isn't that wonderful?
	A further escalation of things.
	I'm sure we're all eager to see a larger war in continental Europe.
	I know I, for one, would love just another world war.
	The German Chancellor said on Monday that the lifting of these restrictions will allow Ukraine to strike military positions in Russia and added that his government would strategically no longer detail what arms it is sending to Ukraine.
	That's right, he's not going to be tipping his hand anymore.
	He's not going to be letting the Russians know what's coming.
	Chancellor Friedrich Mertz said on Monday, May 26, that Germany, along with Ukraine's other key Western backers, had lifted range restrictions on weapons they send to Kiev.
	I'm not going to pronounce it Kyiv.
	To fight against Russia, Mertz, who took office early this month, also vowed that we will do everything in our power to continue supporting Ukraine, including militarily.
	In close coordination with other supporters, there are no longer any range restrictions on weapons delivered to Ukraine, neither by the British or the French, nor by us, nor by the Americans.
	He said this means that Ukraine can now defend itself, for example, by attacking military positions in Russia.
	The previous German government of center-left Chancellor Olaf Scholz strongly backed Kiev, but shied away from sending it long-range Taurus missiles, worried that this might escalate tensions with Russia.
	A nuclear power.
	Mertz has in the past said he favors delivery of the Taurus missiles, which could strike targets deep inside Russia.
	His government has since stressed it would no longer detail what arms it is sending to Ukraine, preferring a stance of strategic ambiguity.
	Speaking in a lengthy interview with public broadcaster WDR, Mertz did not say whether Germany would now send Taurus missiles to Kiev.
	That's right.
	As I said, they are now going to be able to launch much longer strikes.
	Causing Russia to have to worry more.
	A large escalation.
	The previous person, Olaf Scholz, actually had some legitimate concerns.
	He at least wasn't the madman that we now have in control of Germany, willing to escalate things with a nuclear power that is right on their doorstep.
	The recently appointed chancellor took the opportunity to slam Russian President Vladimir Putin's reluctance to engage in talks to end the fighting in Ukraine.
	Putin obviously sees offers of talks as a sign of weakness, Mertz said.
	Or perhaps you're trying to ask for too much.
	The Kremlin said Mertz's comments that any Western decision to lift range limits on arms delivered to Ukraine would be dangerous.
	If these decisions have indeed been made, they are completely at odds with our aspirations for a political settlement.
	These are quite dangerous decisions if they have been made, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Russian journalist Alexander Yunushev.
	Since U.S. President Donald Trump returned to the White House this year, he has sought to push the two sides in the conflict toward direct talks at the highest level.
	Trump last week suggested the Vatican as a possible host for a meeting with the Italian government, saying the leader of the Catholic Church was ready to organize talks.
	I don't understand what the Vatican has to do with this.
	I don't believe that the Vatican has, or the Catholic Church, has a very large presence in either of these countries.
	I believe even in one of these articles later on it details.
	Yes, here we are.
	Moscow has cast doubt on potential for the Holy See as a host.
	Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said it would be inelegant for the Catholic Church to mediate discussions between two principally Orthodox Christian countries.
	Yes, as I was saying, it doesn't make sense.
	The Vatican is not deeply invested in either of these countries, at least from the perspective of Catholic presence.
	Mertz said that the Ukraine's Western backers had sought to use all the diplomatic options available to them to initiate talks.
	After the last three weeks, no one can seriously accuse us of not having exhausted all available diplomatic means, Mertz said, short of raising the white flag.
	Ukraine supporters had done everything they could.
	Well, there does come a time where you do have to raise the white flag.
	And perhaps now is the time Ukraine is being ground into dust for the interests of foreign powers.
	For the interests of countries like the United States and Germany, for the other NATO countries simply because they want to bully Russia, Ukraine has sacrificed so many of their young men to a war that was all because of American foreign policy, and of course because of NATO's gradual encroachment on Russian territory.
	World War III watch!
	Germany's Mertz's greenlights Ukraine to strike Russia with German weapons, and this is on zero hedge.
	German Chancellor Friedrich Mertz has now authorized the use of German missiles for strikes against Russian territory in a move that signals a dramatic escalation against Moscow.
	Yes, he also signaled that this will not only apply to German weapons, but also other weapon systems from countries like France and the United States.
	Posting to X, Mertz wrote, we will do everything in our power.
	Previously, Kiev was permitted to use these weapons only against Russian forces in occupied Ukrainian territories.
	Of course, as they said, now they are able to launch them directly into Russia.
	Speaking at the WDR Europa Forum 2025 at the Republika Digital Conference in Berlin, Mertz stated, there are no longer any range restrictions for weapons that have been delivered to Ukraine, neither by the British, the French, by us, or the Americans.
	Two years ago, Emix ran a video from Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban outlining how the conflict started with countries sending helmets and then tanks to illustrate how deeply the West was involving itself in the war.
	That's right.
	As time goes on, we get more deeply intertwined into this.
	And of course, as I said, Ukraine has been a target of interest for American foreign policy for a long time.
	And we saw the amount of corruption that was going on with them with the Biden administration, how deeply in bed they were with Ukraine.
	Never imagined World War III might be started by a man named Fred Mertz.
	The truth is stranger than fiction.
	The conflict appears to only be escalating more and more since Orban issued this warning.
	As the war has progressed, nations like Great Britain and France supplied advanced weapon systems, including Storm Shadow.
	That sounds like some kind of fantasy dragon name.
	Taurus cruise missiles, which have a 500-kilometer range, a move Moscow has worn to make Germany a direct party to the conflict.
	Ah, Russia and Germany in direct conflict again, just like the good old days.
	Mertz did not explicitly mention Taurus missiles in a statement, but his predecessor Olaf Scholz refused to revive Ukraine with such weapons, fearing a sharp escalation of the war.
	This policy change comes against a backdrop of continued Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities and stalled peace efforts.
	Well, whether you directly target civilians or not, they are always caught in the crossfire, even if it's just in the sense of economically.
	But we have seen over and over again that The Ukrainian people are bearing the brunt of this war.
	They are being flattened.
	KWD-68, buy your Lockheed stock.
	That's right.
	The American war machine is a safe investment if you don't mine blood money.
	If you just want to make a little return on investment, make a little bit of a profit, you can invest in these companies and be sure that the American military industry.
	However, it appears that Western countries are already actively targeting Russian forces.
	Reports from November indicated that Ukraine had already used long-range ATACMS missiles from the U.S. and British Storm Shadow cruise missiles against military targets in Russia.
	Storm shadow.
	Mertz also cautioned that the West must prepare for a prolonged war, even as diplomatic channels remain open.
	He suggested that Russian President Vladimir Putin views Western offers of dialogue as a sign of weakness, asserting that nobody can now seriously blame us for not having exhausted all the diplomatic means that exist.
	The willingness to escalate this war Russia and Ukraine exchange strikes on capitals, and this is on the New American.
	It's by Paul.
	Multiple rounds of peace talks and optimistic rhetoric have done nothing to end the war in the Eastern Bloc where hostilities have significantly flared up over the last few days.
	The heads of America and Russia had barely hung up the phone last Monday after their long and optimistic conversation before the Eastern European rivals were back at it again.
	By the weekend, Russia had launched a devastating retaliatory drone and missile attack on the Ukrainian capital.
	Sunday's overnight attack saw Russia fire 367 drones and missiles, the highest number in a single night since Putin launched a full-scale invasion in 2022.
	The BBC reported that at least 12 people died and dozens more were hurt.
	Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy cast blame on the U.S. President Donald Trump for not being tough enough on his nemesis, Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
	Putin.
	The world may go on vacation, but the war continues.
	Despite weekends and weekdays, Zelensky said, this cannot be ignored.
	America's silence and the silence of others in the world only encourages...
	I'm sure he feels as though, hey, I did everything you guys asked.
	I did what you wanted.
	I was a good little boy.
	I funneled money.
	I was a stooge for you over here.
	I was your puppet, and now you're hanging me out to dry?
	I'm sure he is very hurt by that.
	Administration's response to the Russian strikes.
	Keith Kellogg, Trump's special envoy for Ukraine, accused Russia of violating international law.
	He posted a photo on his ex-account with the caption, This is Kiev.
	The indiscriminate killing of women and children at night in their homes is a clear violation of the 1977 Geneva peace protocols designed to protect innocents.
	These attacks are shameful.
	Stop the killing.
	Cease fire now.
	As I said, innocents are always caught in the crossfire when it comes to war.
	Undoubtedly end up as collateral damage as the rich engage in their global dance.
	And somehow this is America's fault for not getting involved in a war.
	Well, obviously we are involved, but apparently we aren't involved enough that has nothing to do with us.
	That's right.
	As I said, I'm sure he's mad.
	Hey, you guys fomented this, you guys pushed this, and now you're just going to hang me out to dry?
	You're not going to support me?
	I'm sure he is hurt.
	Kellogg's boss was disappointed as well.
	I don't like it at all, Trump said during a quick address to reporters on his way back to the White House from New Jersey.
	He followed it up with a lengthy Truth Social post, in which he accused Putin of going absolutely crazy.
	He's needlessly killing a lot of people, and I'm not just talking about soldiers.
	Missiles and drones are being shot into cities in Ukraine for no reason whatsoever.
	I've always said that he wants all of Ukraine, not just a piece of it.
	And maybe that's proving to be right.
	Okay, that's enough.
	But if he does it, it will lead to the downfall of Russia.
	Likewise, President Zelensky is doing his country no favors by talking the way he does.
	Everything out of his mouth causes problems.
	I don't like it, and it better stop.
	That's right.
	It better stop, or I'm going to come over there.
	Russia's defense.
	Russian leaders are likely to take issue with Trump's for no reason whatsoever statement.
	Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russian attacks were in response to Kiev's attempts to launch drone raids on Russian civilian facilities.
	Russian media organ RT reported, moreover, the Russians said the strikes targeted a drone and missile manufacturing plant in Kiev.
	According to the Russian Defense Ministry, Kiev launched hundreds of drones between Tuesday and Friday alone.
	On Monday, it said that more than 150 long-range Ukrainian drones had been down in the span of just 24 hours.
	We see the Ukrainian strikes, our social infrastructure facilities, civilian infrastructure.
	This is a retaliatory strike, and the strike is aimed at military facilities on military targets.
	Russia claims that Ukraine launched at least 764 drone attacks into Russia between Tuesday and Friday.
	The barrage was so far-reaching that a helicopter-carrying Russian President Vladimir Putin was reportedly caught in the epicenter of a massive drone raid while he was visiting Kursk region on Tuesday.
	Western media corroborates this part of the Russian narrative.
	The left-wing British newspaper The Guardian reported Saturday.
	The Russian strikes followed several days of Ukrainian drone attacks on Russia, including Moscow, which prompted the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov to vow retaliation.
	It is not just Russia that is escalating things.
	We continually hear from our media that it is Russia this, Russia that, but as we all know here, it has been escalating.
	Like the one person, the Russian official said, it would be.
	Germany giving them these missiles that are designed to attack into the capital with no range restrictions.
	That would be Germany getting involved in the conflict.
	And we have been involved in the conflict, and yet they want more and more of this just so that we can, you know, keep one party in power in a foreign country when, you know, Zelensky is suspending elections and in most ways doesn't really seem much different from Putin in terms of a authoritarian.
	Comment from Audi MRR, how about we take George Washington's advice and avoid foreign entanglements?
	Wouldn't that be something?
	Yeah, and I say all this.
	And Putin is no better, obviously, but yet this is not our war.
	We should avoid foreign entanglements.
	Yes.
	We're not over here saying Putin is a defender of freedom.
	We're just simply saying that this war is pointless, as almost all wars are.
	And on Friday, the Washington Post published an article detailing how Ukrainian drone attacks rattled multiple Russian regions for the third consecutive day, grounding flights, disrupting internet access, and stretching the country's air defense systems thin.
	The strikes reached deep into Russia.
	The Post reported disrupting day-to-day life in a jarring reminder to Russians far from the front lines that the war is not confined to the trenches.
	It's a long range weapon systems are going to result in a lot more disruption of life for people in Russia and will probably result in much more collateral damage on that side as well.
	The Russians say Kiev ramped up attacks as soon as Trump and Putin ended their conversation about ending the war and claim that Ukraine's attacks are a part of an attempt to derail the U S brokered peace talks between Moscow and Kiev.
	Lavrov accused European nations led by UK, France, Germany, and EU leadership of intentionally working to opt.
	That's right.
	Rest of Europe is very, very eager to have this war continue for their own personal reasons.
	Each country involved in it has their own reason for why they want Ukraine to continue the war with Russia.
	War is profitable, and it is popular for the party in charge.
	Yes, having an enemy that you can point to is always useful politically.
	Up until Trump's second term, Western Europe's security was at the nearly exclusive mercy of the US military, but the Trump administration vowed to end that arrangement by pulling back American military presence on the continent and forcing the people there to learn to defend themselves.
	In response, Europe is beginning to take ownership of its security.
	For instance, a group of Scandinavian nations has recently begun to forge a coalition.
	Yes, the United States has been paying a hefty, hefty portion of the NATO budget since its inception.
	Germany stepping up, and the Germans have made a series of announcements and moves over the last few months indicating that they're taking seriously Trump's admonition for European nations to bolster their warfighting capabilities.
	In March, the government implemented statutory changes for the explicit reason of boosting military spending.
	The power of Central Europe vows to upgrade the Bundeswehr, Germany's army, which has been gathering dust for decades.
	Our goal is to provide in future all financial means necessary for the Bundeswehr to become Europe's strongest conventional army.
	Oh boy.
	Germany remilitarizing, building up its army in talks about fighting, going to war with Russia.
	Like I said, it truly is just like old times.
	The real octo spook.
	Trump is attempting to negotiate with Russia.
	It just looks like strong arming.
	Yep.
	You're going to do what I say or else.
	Audi MRR, did you all hear about Macron being caught with cocaine along with two other leaders?
	I was more focused on Macron being slapped by his wife.
	That was not...
	Maybe it had something to do with cocaine.
	Perhaps she was jealous that they weren't sharing.
	KWD-68, war is a great depopulation strategy.
	Nukes will be even better.
	They want to get rid of a lot of us.
	There are too many people, and they simply cannot control us all effectively, so they have to reduce the population down to a manageable amount, which I'm sure will get smaller and smaller as they decide on it.
	War nukes and the poison vaccines.
	Perfect trifecta.
	Attacks from within and from without.
	Germany also just rolled out the new.45 Armored Brigade, which it plans to post in Lithuania, a former Soviet satellite state that sits on the northwestern border of Russia.
	Allied state Belarus at a military ceremony in Vilnius, Lithuania, on Thursday, Mertz announced that anyone who challenges NATO must know that we are prepared.
	Anyone who threatens an ally must know that the entire alliance will jointly defend every inch of NATO territory.
	That's right, we're going to expand our empire directly onto your doorstep.
	We will show up right at your door.
	We will be very, very aggressive.
	But if you try to do anything about it, we will claim that you are the aggressor and must be stopped.
	Vilnius is expected to host 400 German military personnel, 4,800 troops, and 2,000 vehicles, including tanks.
	The day Mertz engaged in another round of saber-rattling, he announced that his country, along with other major European allies, will stop imposing range restrictions.
	There are no longer any range restrictions, he said, as we covered.
	Peskov called the decision quite dangerous and added that it runs contrary to our efforts to reach a political settlement.
	Moscow denies that it has any intentions to attack NATO nations and labels Western speculation of a possible attack, fear-mongering aimed at justifying extensive militarization.
	By the bloc's European members.
	While they're always looking for reasons to justify further militarization, as we've always said, as we've said today, war is extremely profitable.
	That's why they continue to engage in it.
	It makes them a lot of money, and it kills off a lot of people.
	Both things that they desperately want.
	Ukraine can strike deep inside Russia using German weapons.
	That's right.
	We have Just the further escalation by other European powers.
	We actually have the Macron slap clip.
	And I think that would be a nice little thing to see.
	Poor little Macron being abused by his scarecrow ghoul of a wife.
	He just looks so confused and out of it when he sees the camera there.
	Oh, you're filming this.
	I didn't see you there.
	Oh, hi.
	Hi there.
	Truly, we are ruled by the worst possible people, every single country.
	That jacket is not doing her any favors with those shoulder pads.
	But that's what's going on with Macron's home life.
	As we can see, it is not going very well for him.
	In typical politician fashion, he lied and denied all that.
	It even happened in the first place, and then when he saw that they had video of it, because his reaction was seeing reporters and, you know, people out there, when he saw the video, they changed his story to, oh, it was a minor lover's quarrel.
	Ah, yes.
	The French and their lover's quarrels.
	When will they ever learn?
	Well, we're going to take a quick break and we will be right back.
	Thank you.
	Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	The David Knight Show.
	Wait a minute.
	Where am I?
	Sorry, Jefferson.
	The scoundrels who put America on central bank fiat currency used our heads on their coins as some sort of trophy.
	Despicable.
	This is outrageous.
	Washington, I spent my life fighting centralized power.
	Now the Federal Reserve monopoly parades us around on their monopoly money.
	Tell me there's some good news to all this.
	Well, there is a coin they can't control.
	One that isn't backed by the Fed, but backed by the FedUp.
	The all-new David Knight Show commemorative coin.
	Now patriots can support a show that won't sell out, with a limited edition coin that's sure to sell out quickly.
	They say money talks, and this coin has something worth listening to.
	The truth doesn't need inflation, only support.
	The truth doesn't need inflation, only support.
	Welcome back, folks.
	We've got some comments here.
	GDP3030, every move made by U.S. and NATO is one step closer to another planned world war, as Albert Pike predicted.
	He predicted all three wars.
	That's right.
	It's all part of the plan, folks.
	It's all part of instilling fear and making sure that we have to come bowing and scraping to the government.
	Tony Garrett, war also instills great fear, making the populace more easily controllable.
	Yes, as I was just saying.
	We are of the same mind, Tony.
	KWD68, it will be a big war, a beautiful war, the best ever, golden war.
	That's right, Trump's big, beautiful war.
	Now I think we're going to look at what Tesla is doing and what's going on with electric vehicles.
	Favorite topic of ours here on the show.
	Tesla executive admits that self-driving is going nowhere fast.
	We're lagging maybe a couple of years behind.
	He's talking about their competition Waymo.
	are behind when it comes to the self-driving function there.
	And that is I have seen people We were on the way back from North Carolina after visiting some friends a few years ago, and I look over and there is a woman in a Tesla, and she is on her phone picking her nose as the car drives itself.
	And just that is the type of person that just fully turns control over to the car.
	So much trust in such an obviously flawed system that you're trusting your life to.
	To be fair, considering the type of person this was, maybe the car does do a better job of paying attention if she's just on her phone picking her nose.
	Nearly 10 years ago in 2015, rising tech entrepreneur Elon Musk made a bold announcement.
	Tesla vehicles would be fully driving themselves by 2017.
	The billionaire was talking about vehicles with level 5 autonomy, a designation by the Society of Automotive Engineers, SAE, commonly used as the benchmark for a full self-driving car that can drive where its passengers please with no intervention.
	He repeated those claims in January 2016, saying, Summon should work.
	Anywhere connected by land and not blocked by borders.
	Within two years, for example, if you're in Los Angeles and your Tesla is in New York, you'll be able to summon it to you from across the country, at least according to his vision, which many took as gospel.
	By June of that year, Musk called Level 5 autonomy a solved problem.
	He did so again in 2017 and again in 2018, then the next year, and the year after that, etc.
	That's what we always see.
	They continually come out and say, we've solved it, we've done it.
	And then it proved not to be true.
	Yeah, I remember his press conference where he said, anytime you're not using it, you can just make it its own self-driving Uber taxi.
	It makes no sense not to buy a Tesla.
	It would be financial suicide not to have one of these.
	It'll pay for itself.
	Yes, because of course, even if it was working, it would be a wonderful idea to just rent out your car unsupervised to who knows who.
	I'm sure you're not going to get it back covered in vomit and all kinds of different gross things.
	Now in 2025, Tesla isn't looking meaningfully closer to level 5 autonomy than in 2015.
	That's right, they've made not much progress in a decade.
	Though Tesla rolled out its autopilot features en masse that same year, it's only achieved SAE Level 2, enough for a driver to take their hands off the wheel and let their vehicle take control when driving in certain conditions.
	That hasn't stopped numerous motorists from overestimating the system's capabilities and dying as a result.
	That's right, we've seen quite a few deaths from Tesla's autopilot, whether it just rams directly into the back of a truck it didn't see, or it runs someone over.
	There have been quite a few deaths from people trusting this faulty system.
	That isn't likely to change anytime soon, according to an intriguing insider, Tesla's head of autopilot and AI software, Eshok Eluswamy.
	The Tesla official was speaking on the Gobanath podcast, an Indian-English interview show, where he admitted the EV company is still way behind its competitors despite over a decade of self-driving development.
	Technically, Waymo is already performing.
	Eliswamy admitted, referencing Google's autonomous vehicle program, we are lagging by maybe a couple of years.
	Well, isn't that great?
	The two technocracy companies are fighting it out to see who can create the best self-driving death machine.
	And it's Google that's coming out on top.
	Lovely for all of us.
	S-Flow 0818.
	Worked with computers too much.
	Don't trust them.
	Always fail at crucial times.
	Yes, isn't that right?
	Just when you need them the most is when they tend to give up and die.
	My computer routinely crashes for no perceivable reason.
	It is one of the biggest frustrations.
	Yeah, we see these operating systems getting worse and worse with every iteration, thinking specifically of Windows 11, and just saw a thing about how the start menu is its own separate React application, and whenever you hit the start the Windows button, or even the volume buttons, it can tank performance and even crash older, weak systems.
	And yet, these people that are, you know, ruining all these existing technologies are the ones that are, you know, implementing this life-or-death scenario into their cars.
	Borderline genius or genius that desperately wanted to create something, that had an idea for a program that would be incredibly useful.
	But over time, those people either move on or die, and they are replaced by people that are not of the same caliber, that don't have the vision, don't have the drive, and don't have the intelligence, and they can't even fully maintain them.
	And it gets even worse when they start adding little bits and bobs and little features here and there to bloat the system that was created.
	This is despite Tesla's also long-promised fully self-driving RoboCab service supposedly going live in Austin, Texas this coming June, it's not understood how this will work as Tesla would need to demonstrate a vehicle capable of driving itself at SAE Level 4 to transport riders without the need for human intervention.
	So far, Musk has been uncharacteristically silent on the prospect of a Level 4 vehicle.
	That's right, over the years he's kind of shut up about it as it hasn't materialized.
	Eventually catch on.
	But if you just stop talking about it, they forget as well.
	Late in 2024, Greg McGuire, managing director of the Autonomous Vehicle Research Facility at the University of Michigan, told SAE Media that Tesla is not, from what I've seen, ready for general Level 4 operation.
	Will they be there by 2027?
	At U of M, we still think there's a couple of key scientific barriers, McGuire said.
	That makes Musk's ever-stretching timeline for full self-driving, let alone a RoboCab network tenuous at best and an absurd fantasy at worst.
	Still, a billionaire can dream.
	What big dreams he has for us.
	The real Octo spook, if you're running Windows, you need Linux.
	Sadly, I use Windows.
	I should install Linux on this, but I just never find the time to be able to learn how to do it.
	I'm using Linux, but there's still a lot of applications that you have to use Windows for, sadly.
	Yeah, sadly, as Lance said, there is not a Linux version of everything, and the sheer number of different things we have to use means we are sort of trapped into their system.
	After BYD price war accelerated, Goldman says we are sellers here, and of course BYD is the Chinese car company.
	The EV space took a hit overnight after China's BYD Tesla's top rival announced sweeping price cuts of up to 34% across nearly two dozen models.
	This intensified an already brutal global multi-year price war amid continued softening demand.
	Bloomberg reported that BYD slashed prices on 22 of its electric and plug-in hybrid models by as much as 34% in an effort to revive demand.
	That's right, across the board, whether it's here or in China.
	People are not as interested as they were in electric vehicles.
	The Siegel hatchback was reduced by 20% to 55,800 yuan, $7,780, while the SEAL dual-motor hybrid sedan saw the steepest cut down, 34%, or 53,000 yuan.
	$202,800 you want, and that would be about $14,269.
	And of course, the cheapest Tesla is the Tesla Model 3, which is about $42,490.
	So BYD is much, much cheaper.
	But of course, you can't get those here in America, and if you were to import them, that $14,000 price tag would jump dramatically because of tariffs and all of the import costs.
	While some of these discounts have been in place since April, The official announcement sends a strong signal of how tough the end market is.
	Morgan Stanley analyst Tim Shao told clients the discounts come as China's broader economic downturn has increased dealership stock levels.
	Recent data from the China Passenger Car Association showed that China had 3.5 million cars or 57 inventory days in April, the highest figure since December 2023.
	Of course, we've seen here in the U.S. that Tesla is having a hard time moving stock and that car retailers are not interested in taking Tesla's on trade unless they get it at a very, very low price.
	They are not selling.
	The discounts come as China's broader economic downturn has increased.
	We anticipate peers will follow.
	BYD's price cut, Citi Research Analyst wrote in a note, they said, Chongqing Chenggan automobile has already revealed a 25,000 yuan discount for its DePaul S07 model, as well as Zhejiang Leap Motor Technologies discounted its C16 full-size crossover sport utility vehicle and midsize SUV C11.
	City analysts forecast that discounts announced this past weekend could lead to a 30-40% week-on-week foot traffic surge at BYD dealerships.
	In markets, BYD shares closed down 6% while Lee Auto, Great Wall Motor, and Geely Automobile all closed in the red.
	The Great Wall is one thing we didn't see when we were in China.
	Everyone always talks about it, but we didn't get to see it.
	That's such a funny name for a Chinese...
	Like, Great Wall Motors.
	Yeah, it sounds like a, I don't know, some kind of TV gag.
	Announcing a promo discount on 22 models until the end of June, worrying investors on profitability and margin, Goldman analyst Kita Umetani wrote in a note.
	Goldman analyst Shubham Ghosh told clients, we were sellers of BYD here and also caught some selling in SOE banks.
	Even in China, the EV craze is slowly dying down.
	Well, that's what's happening on the EV side of things.
	And I think I want to look at what's happening We have an article here from Catherine Austin Fitz, or about Catherine Austin Fitz.
	It's about the land grab.
	This is war.
	This is on Zero Hedge.
	This is war.
	Catherine Austin Fitz on land grabs, the evils of CBDC and fighting the most invasive form of tyranny that's ever existed.
	Catherine Austin Fitz does a great job looking at what is going on in the geopolitical landscape and breaking it down.
	Investment banker Catherine Austin Fitt sat down for a wide-ranging interview in which she warned about the future of food security, digital financial surveillance via central bank digital currencies, and fighting back against the most invasive form of tyranny that's ever existed.
	And my dad left a note here that said, crony billionaire digital currency.
	That's right.
	Sitting down with Brianna Sagdahl.
	Senior Policy Fellow at the Beef Initiative, Fitz paints a picture of modern society teetering between high-tech control and a rebirth of grounded living.
	For starters, people need to take control of what they put into their bodies, the cost of health, and an age of wealth.
	Fitz recounted what we all know, just because you're rich doesn't mean you have two brain cells to rub together.
	Noting that when she was an investment advisor, clients with 10 to 15 million brokerage accounts claimed that they couldn't afford biodynamic or organic food.
	I would just be shocked, Fitz recalled, you're financing the national security state through your brokerage account, and meantime, you're eating food, as one ally said to me recently.
	Have you priced the cost of cancer lately?
	In short, the wealthiest Americans often fail to connect financial decisions to physical well-being.
	The health and well-being of my family is the basis of our family wealth, she said.
	That's right, if you eat poison, you will be poisoned.
	While gold has traditionally served as a hedge against financial instability, Fitz is now more bullish on beef.
	You put gold in a vault, it doesn't grow.
	You put cows in a field and they multiply, she told Sagdal.
	They're the ultimate in increase.
	That's right.
	Having your own supply and source of food is more important than anything else you can do to prepare for any sort of collapse.
	If you cannot feed yourself, you are at the mercy of the government.
	That is why...
	Chickens are a lot easier than cows that require a lot less space.
	Also, my wife would be very, very sad if we got a cow and then ate it later.
	She would make friends with it.
	The sentiment fits hand in glove with that of the Beef Initiative, the concept that investing in local regenerative agriculture not only ensures food access, But represents a resilient form of wealth creation.
	In Fitz's opinion, families and communities should form long-term capital relationships with ranchers, a reversal of decades-long trends in corporate food centralization.
	Fitz is urging private investors to begin financing and building relationships with their nearest farmers and ranchers in order to maintain health and mental clarity during the ongoing war on freedom.
	It's not just purchase and finance the capacity you need.
	It's more than that, Fitz said.
	You need to be part of funding and organizing political efforts designed to protect your food supply.
	You need to do all these things because this is war.
	And if you want to win, you need to be healthy.
	Nibiru, 2029.
	Teslas aren't selling because only idiots and suckers would spend $60,000 on an 8-year lithium bomb.
	Oh yes, that is definitely part of it.
	We've seen plenty of Teslas just combust over the years, and that probably has done quite a bit to impact their sales.
	I, for one, would never park a Tesla anywhere near my house.
	If we have friends come over and they've got a Tesla, they're going to have to park that somewhere else.
	They're going to have to find them a public parking spot where they can leave that thing and we'll drive them over.
	S-Flow0818.
	Gasoline is pretty much preferred as compared to battery.
	Currently, much, much more efficient and much more versatile.
	They have longer ranges.
	If you have a Tesla, you have to strategically plan exactly where you are going to stop, when you are going to stop, because there is no guarantee that if you just start driving, that you will encounter a charging port.
	The war that Fitz refers to is neither kinetic nor overtly seen.
	Rather, the effects of this silent war are felt and experienced through increased surveillance in a general sense that things are not okay, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
	While the pandemic may have exposed the fragility of America's supply chains, Sagnell and Fitz address the origins of the fragility.
	And of course, the COVID-19 lockdown is at the feet of Donald Trump.
	He is the one that gave us that wonderful time period.
	How have we arrived in our current predicament where our cattle volumes are at a 70-year low?
	Our food security has been hollowed out and our middle class is gone.
	What is the goal for the next phase and how do we stop it?
	Ask Sagdahl.
	Tying into a recent interview Fitz gave to Tucker Carlson.
	Fitz responds by sharing that people within central banking have used new technologies to centralize control.
	And we see that over and over again.
	Every new technology they come up with is a means of centralizing control.
	It gives them more power and more direct influence over your life.
	This is what Sir James Goldsmith was talking about, the global centralization of economic and political control, Fitz said, referring to a 1994 interview with Charlie Rose.
	It's continued for my whole lifetime, and as we see this centralization of control, we witness the deterioration of the quality of life.
	Globalization uprooted the countryside, bloated the towns, destabilized the towns, and created terrible chaos, said Goldsmith, referring to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade.
	G-A-T-T, millions of small farmers were displaced in favor of efficient industrial agriculture to satisfy an economic doctrine.
	We are worshiping the wrong god.
	Economic index.
	Goldsmith continued.
	The conversation delved into an interesting intersection, monetary policy and surveillance, according to Fitz, a based former Bush administration official.
	The push towards central bank digital currency CBDCs represents not financial inclusion, but financial.
	As I said, everything in our life we have seen move more towards control.
	It's...
	I keep thinking about the fact that since I have just had a child, what will he have to look forward to in his lifetime?
	And all the things that I used to enjoy as a child have now become just so...
	Whether it's movies or video games, they have all become worse and worse and worse.
	And that is just on the fun end.
	We're not even talking about the, as we said, push for CBDC and centralized control there.
	Referencing public comments by BIS, General Manager Augustine Carstens-Fitz warned that CBDCs could give governments the power to dictate not just how money is spent, but if it can be spent at all.
	If you're locked down and can't leave your house, your money won't work outside your house, she said, if they don't want you eating pizza.
	You can't eat pizza.
	That's right.
	If you're under lockdown, they can just simply turn off your wallet, make sure that you are not able to spend your money.
	You're supposed to be at home.
	What are you out doing trying to spend this?
	Every step closer to the mark of the beast, it makes it hard to buy and sell.
	Yes.
	You will only be able to buy and sell at their whims.
	Karsten's in a widely viewed IMF panel stated central banks will have absolute control on the rules and regulations that will determine the use of CBDCs and the technology to enforce that.
	According to Fitz, this is essentially akin to the Chinese Communist Party's social credit score, a goal plainly stated by Bo Li, the deputy director of the IMF and former assistant director of the People's Bank of China.
	In short, CBDC...
	That's right, they can just turn off your bank.
	By programming CBDC, those money can be precisely targeted for what kind of people can own and what kind of use this money can be utilized for, the economy outlines.
	For example, for food.
	Fitz explains that all money and monetary policy will be an expression of a central bank liability with the technology to enforce it.
	In other words, it's not your money, it's our money.
	So we can set the rules around how you use our money and we can enforce it centrally.
	What he was referring to was AI and software.
	That's right, you'll only be able to spend your money at the prescribed, pre-approved places.
	You want to go buy some locally raised beef?
	Well, sorry.
	The CBDC only works at the big box stores, folks.
	It doesn't work for these places.
	We don't want you buying that.
	hasn't been approved maybe the FDA has found some scary things in pasture-raised beef or maybe there's some new bird flu or something going around so they have to make sure you can't buy your locally raised eggs.
	You don't know if these local farmers have gotten the full extent of the vaccines needed for their beef and changed the mRNA on them enough.
	Exactly.
	Well, they didn't get the mRNA vaccine for their cattle or their chickens, so you can't buy there.
	We're talking about the most invasive form of tyranny that's ever existed on this planet, Fitz warns.
	What has been happening, you know, is this system has been slowly tightening around each of us.
	It's now coming to the point where it's more visible.
	Now we're talking about getting into something that's complete control.
	And of course, you can't control the money in this way unless you can control the food supply.
	She continued suggesting that this level...
	And of course, we have seen the government over and over again taking more and more land or restricting the usage of land.
	That was what we saw.
	That's what led to the Bundy standoff.
	They had land that they had been allowed to use for years, and the federal government sold it off, I believe, to China for mineral rights.
	Sprumford, as long as your son has God, love, and family, his cup will be full.
	Yes, that is true.
	I appreciate that Sprumford will make sure that he has all of those things.
	Land grabs in the wake of disaster.
	Fitz alleges that recent crises from the pandemic to natural disasters have provided cover for rapid land centralization.
	During stagflation, that's the perfect opportunity where the people who can print money can finance themselves grabbing a lot of land.
	SAGD allotted that programs administered through HUD and tied to resilient city planning often mask community displacements under euphemisms like strategic buyouts or community-driven relocation.
	Yes, they are trying to centralize control on everything.
	Whether it's control over the money or taking your land, they will do it.
	As Fitz recounts a perfect closer reciting one of her favorite quotes from a Swiss doctor, the currency of the future will be relationships of trust.
	That's right.
	You need to find people of like mind nearby.
	You need to build communities that you can...
	sniff Yeah.
	You need to have complementary skill sets.
	You need to be able to work together when this type of thing is fully cemented into place.
	If it is, you don't want to be alone.
	You want to have people that you can trust.
	Supreme Court turns down Apache's bid to block Copper Mine on Sacred Sight, and this is by CBS News.
	The Supreme Court on Tuesday turned away a challenge from Native Americans seeking to block a copper mining project on government-owned land in Arizona that will destroy a sacred site used to perform religious ceremonies.
	The court rejected an appeal from the non-profit organization Apache Stronghold, which challenged the transfer of the site known as Oak Flat to the mining company Resolution Copper.
	I believe this is an Australian company.
	Turning away the case, the high court left in place a lower court ruling that allowed the land located in Tonto National Forest to be transferred for the development for the copper mine.
	That's right, they will pay all kinds of lip service to whatever minority group is currently in favor.
	They will bow down and scrape at their feet, but when the money comes calling, they will show their true face.
	Justices Neil Gorsuch and Clarence Thomas dissented from the Supreme Court's denial of the appeal.
	Justice Samuel Alito did not participate in the court's consideration of the case.
	Gorsuch, joined by Thomas, called the Supreme Court's decision not to hear that challenge a grave mistake, and said the lower court's decision is an outlier.
	And of course, you see here that the more conservative quote-unquote justices are the ones that are actually interested in potentially hearing this case and giving the Apache's credence.
	The left-wing justices, despite the fact that they would most definitely pay homage verbally, have no interest in actually protecting this land that the Apaches hold sacred.
	While this court enjoys the power to choose which cases it will hear, its decision to shuffle this case off our docket without a full airing is a grievous mistake, one with consequences that threaten to reverberate for generations, Gorsuch wrote.
	Just imagine if the government sought to demolish a historic cathedral on so questionable a chain of legal reasoning.
	I have no doubt that we would find that case worth our time.
	Faced with the government's plan to destroy an ancient site of tribal worship, we owe the Apaches no less.
	The federal government had for more than a century recognized oak flat significance and protected the land.
	According to court filings, the Apaches consider Oak Flat to be a unique dwelling place of spiritual beings called Ga 'an.
	But that changed after a copper deposit was discovered under the site in 1995.
	Seeking to obtain the deposit, two mining companies, Rio Tinto and BHP, created a joint venture called Resolution Copper.
	From 2005 to 2013, Resolution Copper's backers in Congress introduced legislation to transfer Oak Flat to the company, so the efforts were not successful.
	Then in 2014, a land transfer bill was included in a must-pass defense package, which authorized the transfer of roughly 2,422 acres, including Oak Flat, to Resolution Copper in exchange for other parcels of land.
	The legislation revoked prior presidential orders that protected Oak Flat from mining and directed the Secretary of Agriculture to prepare an environmental impact statement for the project.
	That's right.
	It was included in a must-pass bill.
	That's another one of these times where they just load these bills up with all kinds of different things and say that, well, we've got these critical pieces here.
	They have to go through.
	And if they don't, the government will be in deep trouble.
	So whatever else is in there, you're just going to have to deal with it.
	Federal District Court declined to block the land transfer, and a divided U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ultimately rejected Apache Stronghold's challenge, finding that the copper mining project did not impose a substantial burden on the tribe's religious exercise.
	Well, I think the tribe would be the one to make that decision, don't you?
	I'm not sure that a judge is able to really fully understand.
	The Forest Service has estimated that the project will create 3,500 jobs and contribute $1.2 billion to Arizona's economy each year.
	But lawyers for the San Carlos Apache tribe, which worships at the site, said in court papers that Oak Flat is central to traditional Apache religion as the home of Apache deities and the only place where Apaches can practice unique ceremonies.
	Angry tiger's den, they will destroy that beautiful land for profit.
	Yes, they will knock down every beautiful thing in the world to pave it over so Jeff Bezos can have a larger parking lot for his Amazon warehouses.
	The real octo spook still murdering Indians and stealing their land.
	The four corners area abandoned uranium mines are a crime on humanity and especially in The American government has done many horrific things to the American Indians.
	It has been a long-standing tradition, in fact.
	Well, Yes.
	First they came for the Indian, and now they will disrespect the treaty they have with you, white man.
	And of course it's public domain to give the land to a foreign-owned country.
	We're going to take a quick break and we will be right back.

	And, of course, I do want to ask you to continue to pray for our dad.
	He had to go to a doctor's appointment today, so they are checking up on him.
	Please be praying for his healing.
	Please pray specifically for his vocal cords and the nerve in his tongue.
	I'd like to add a little bit more detail to that.
	He's saying that it feels like he's burnt his tongue badly on hot soup, and it's been like that ever since the surgery, and he has trouble controlling it, which is obviously affecting his speech, but also his even swallowing, though his swallowing has gotten a lot better.
	So we pray that God continues to heal that and give him a complete recovery so he's able to...
	Yes, please do continue to pray.
	I see a comment here from TunnelLord1337.

	Yes, we're still working on that.

	Oh, and of course, in the third hour, I'm going to be joined by Billy Ray Valentine, so stay tuned for that.
	Supreme Court declines to review free speech case involving students who wore only two-gender shirts.
	Liam Morrison wore a shirt asserting that there are only two genders.
	He went to school wearing this shirt and was told it was not appropriate, was told to remove it.
	And, you know, while, yes, they are abridging his free speech, I don't think you should be sending your children to schools at all.
	You should not be sending this kid to a place where they're going to try to brainwash him.
	Know that it's a brainwashing establishment, otherwise you wouldn't be interested in having him wear this contentious shirt.
	So I believe the parents should simply remove him from this atmosphere.
	They shouldn't be getting him embroiled in these kinds of scenarios.
	Now, of course, it is possible that the kid wore the shirt all on his own.
	I don't want to simply imply that the parents are using him as a tool to wage war against this type of ideology, but whether or not that is true, they should remove him from the public school, as they are obviously aware of how warped their ideology is.
	Yes.
	The student, Liam Morrison, brought the case through his father and stepmother, Christopher and Susan Morrison.
	The plaintiffs argue Nichols Middle School violated his free speech rights when it banned him from wearing two t-shirts to school with the words, there are only two genders, and there are censored genders on the front.
	Liam was sent home both times after he refused to change shirts.
	The school argued the shirts made his classmates feel unsafe.
	And a federal court agreed, saying the message was demeaning for transgender students.
	Wouldn't want to demean those fine folks.
	Justice Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito both issued separate dissents, arguing the court should have taken up the case.
	The decision comes early, nearly a year after the First Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against Liam and his parents in June 2024, finding out the school was justified in asking him to remove the shirt and sending him home when he refused.
	Morrison, who was in 7th grade at the time, was sent home with his father in May 2023 after he refused to take off the shirt.
	According to court documents, he later wore the same shirt with the words, only two covered with a piece of tape on which censored was written.
	The school also told him to take that shirt off.
	In a 2023 interview with Fox News Digital, Liam stressed that his t-shirt was not directed toward anyone, specifically people who are lesbian or gay or transgender or anything like that.
	Thing is, realistically, it is a direct confrontation and denial of their reality, of their own personal psychological issues.
	It's a simple statement of biological fact that has never been questioned aside from these lunatics, and that is what they choose to censor.
	They're taking away his right to have a simple fact of biology on his shirt.
	Yes, and they will always see it as hateful because it causes the reality to crumble.
	In a 2023 interview with Fox, I'm just voicing my opinion about a statement that I believe to be true, he said at the time, and I feel like some people may think that I'm imposing hate speech, even though it's not directed towards anyone.
	I mean, it's such an obvious attack on free speech to say that you can't have a fact on your clothing if it offends someone.
	Well, some people want to believe that 2 plus 2 equals 5, and if you tell them otherwise, they're going to get very upset.
	The Morrison family was represented by the Alliance Defending Freedom and the Massachusetts Family Institute.
	Anders Hagstrom, that's the reporter who did this article.
	Well, that is, again, an attack on free speech.
	But again, I think that they should simply remove this child from this atmosphere.
	He is still a child and should be allowed to be a child, in my opinion.
	The real octo spook.
	Next, Islamic Muslim dress codes and dress code enforcers.

	Let's take a look at what's going on with money, right?
	Women walking around with their heads uncovered.
	That might be offensive to Muslims.
	Make them feel unsafe, to quote the article.
	Well, we wouldn't want the Muslims to feel unsafe.
	We know what kind of antics they can get up to when they are feeling a little bit feisty.
	France is a lovely example of this.
	Every year or so, the Muslim population burns down some part of their city or other.
	As I said, we're going to look at money, and this is on CBS News.
	S&P 500 closes 2% higher after Trump announces pause on EU tariffs.
	President Trump's decision to delay a 50% tariff on goods from the European Union led to a Wall Street rally on Tuesday with the major indexes closing higher.
	The S&P 500 climbed 119 points, or 2.1%, to close at 5,922, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 741 points, or 1.8%, to close at 42,344.
	A tech-heavy Nasdaq composite rose 2.5%.
	Mr. Trump had initially threatened to impose a straight 50% tariff on the trading block effective June 1st.
	The news announced by the president in a Truth Social post Friday sent stocks tumbling as investors braced for more uncertainty.
	But investors viewed the market with more enthusiasm on Tuesday following an announcement from Mr. Trump over the holiday weekend that he would delay the implementation of EU tariffs from June 1st to July 9th.
	Now, of course, I'm sure we will actually see them tumble again if the tariffs do come into place.
	Analysts noted that the stop-and-go nature of the president's tariff policies have been a key driver of market volatility in recent weeks, with stock movements hinging upon news of potential trade deals.
	Volatility is always very, very good for major players.
	They are the ones that benefit.
	Volatility is horrible for small-time investors.
	People who want to just put their money in and let it accrue.
	People that sit there and actually play the stock market can make a lot of money on volatility, but for people that don't pay attention and are simply using it as a way to accrue wealth, it is a hammer.
	Dougda007.
	That is a ridiculous action on the school's part, but it is not surprising.
	Yep, it is utterly ridiculous, but that is the type of ideology that is worshipped in the public schools.
	We have seen this over and over again.
	There is no sexual, mental illness, or deficiency that they will not cater to.
	Whether it's letting people dress up like furries in the classroom, or simply making transgenderism utterly protected, they will hammer, they will punish anyone that dares to Yes, we've seen how much they hate the family.
	There are continually articles attacking the family.
	We've seen them say over and over again, it takes a village to raise a child.
	And, of course, there was the famous Melissa Harris Perry clip where she says, you have to get over the idea that that's your child.
	You know, that's the community child.
	That's everyone's child.
	Which, as we've seen, does not turn out good people.
	They become what the state wants them to.
	What a child needs is a loving mother and father.
	They do not need a village.
	It will harm them in the long run.
	And in fact, as a general rule, the people I see talking about wanting a village to help raise a child are simply lazy.
	They're looking to put some of the responsibility and burden that children impose off onto other people.
	The attack on the family is obviously a big part of it.
	Another part is just the Orwellian double-think that you can't recite a simple fact of nature because it might offend someone.
	Well, you cannot hold any opinion that is not approved by the state.
	Yeah.
	And of course, they would say, well, we're talking about gender.
	We're not talking about sex.
	Gender is how you relate to your sex.
	Yada, yada.
	Who cares?
	Gender isn't real.
	You made it up.
	Sex is the biological reality.
	And that doesn't change.
	Mr. Trump had initially threatened to impose a straight 50% tariff.
	Analysts noted that the stop-and-go nature of the president's tariff policies have been a key driver of market volatility.
	With the Europe tariff threat removed, at least for now, markets got more evidence that tariffs are largely a negotiation tool, said Jeff Buchbinder, chief equity strategist for LPL Financial, in an email to CBS's Money Watch.
	The administration has been working to strike trade agreements before July 9th when the 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs is set to end.
	The president announced broad terms of a trade deal with the United Kingdom earlier this month, followed by a tariff truce with China.
	Knights of the Storm just ordered a couple of the new coins.
	Can't wait to see how they turned out.
	They turned out fabulous.
	These are the coins he is talking about.
	Jason is actually the one who puts them together.
	Got the wonderful chess piece logo on the front.
	And the microphone on the back, they look fantastic, and they are up on the website.
	So if you all would like to go purchase your own, that's where you can do it.
	They are fantastic.
	Maros Sevkovic, Chief Trade Negotiator, and of course, thank you, Jason, for putting those together.
	We really do appreciate it.
	Maros Sevkovic, Chief Trade Negotiator for the EU, said Monday following calls with top U.S. officials that the bloc was fully committed to reaching an agreement with the U.S. by the July A partial rebound in consumer confidence added to Tuesday's positivity.
	The Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index, released Tuesday morning, found consumer confidence rose 12.3 points to reach 98.0, up from 85.7 in April.
	The upswing follows A month of decline in the index triggered by fears of inflation and tariff-induced economic uncertainty.
	And of course, what they mean by tariff-induced is Trump-induced.
	He is the one behind all this.
	Still, this moment of calm may also be temporary.
	Some economists say, in a research note on Tuesday, UBS analysts said investors should brace for more volatility in the bond market as Mr. Trump's budget bill still awaits approval from the Senate.
	That's right.
	People still don't know what's going to happen.
	It is still all up in the air.
	Musk confirms X-Money beta testing ahead of planned 2025 launch.
	And of course, this is just more evidence that he is just another technocrat.
	He simply wants control.
	And whether it's your money or your car or whatever else, he's happy.
	Happy, happy, if he can take more control of that from you.
	CandyTV, the attack on the nuclear family funds big government.
	They don't want happy, healthy families.
	That is a bad business model and doesn't fund courts, mental health facilities, big pharma, prisons, etc.
	Also, the attack on the nuclear family is part of the population control agenda.
	I fully agree with you, CandyTV.
	They hate the nuclear family, and they hate the happy, healthy people it produces.
	Of course, the attack on the nuclear family is also an attack on Christian values.
	The family is where the relationship with Christ is born.
	It is not on a pastor or someone at church to teach your child about God.
	It is on you.
	It is on you to teach them about Jesus Christ and his love for them and how he is their one true Savior.
	And if they can get you to abdicate other responsibilities, they can get you to abdicate that responsibility as well.
	Or they can just simply inoculate your child against Christianity.
	They can push these hateful, anti-Christian ideas on them.
	They can make him or her hate the idea of Christianity because they will make them believe that it is a hateful ideology.
	It is a hateful religion.
	And Christianity tells us that being transgender or gay is a sin.
	Musk confirms XMoney beta testing ahead of planned 2025 launch.
	XMoney, the payment and banking app tipped by Elon Musk in 2022 after he acquired Twitter, has started beta testing.
	Musk confirmed in an X post on May 25th, Tesla owners Silicon Valley, a fan X account...
	Took to X on May 25th to report that Musk has confirmed that X is launching X money soon.
	Breaking.
	Confirmed by Elon Musk.
	X is launching X money soon.
	Payment.
	Banking.
	The everything app just got even bigger.
	That's right.
	They're going for the full Chinese model.
	Full surveillance and control.
	This is a tweet from Elon Musk.
	The billionaire businessman subsequently jumped on the X thread to confirm the news.
	When people's savings are involved, extreme care must be taken.
	Musk's confirmation comes amid X Money's planned launch this year, according to the platform's X account.
	Must-silent confirmation of X-Money trials followed a series of reports suggesting the platform may launch this year based on alleged software code leaks in January.
	X has been actively working to obtain multiple transmitter licenses for X-Money across the United States, having secured 41 such licenses at a time of publication according to the Nationwide Multi-State Licensing System.
	I'm sure he was able to get those very easily after the amount of money he has donated to Donald Trump.
	I'm sure they smoothed the road for that.
	But also, do you really want to trust your money to someone that had his ex-money idea leaked?
	Doesn't seem overly secure already.
	Well, our guest, Billy Ray Valentine, is ready.
	So we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back with him.
	But before we go to break, Please pray for the nerves in his tongue and his vocal cords that he would be able to talk clearly again soon, that he'd be back here in this chair with you all soon.
	And please, again, keep us all in your prayers.
	I will be right back with our guest, Billy Ray Valentine.
	I will be right back with our guest, Billy Ray Valentine.
	I will be right back with our guest, Billy Ray Valentine.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	The David Knight Show
	Analyzing the globalist's next move.
	And now, The David Knight Show.
	The David Knight Show.
	Making sense.
	Common again.
	You're listening to The David Knight Show.
	The David Knight Show.
	Welcome back, folks.
	And my guest joining us now is Billy Ray Valentine.
	You can find him over with Tony Arterburn, America Unplugged.
	I believe he's also on other places as well.
	So thank you for joining us, Billy.
	And please let the audience know all the places that they can find you.
	I want to make sure that you are able to get that out there.
	No, absolutely.
	And thank you, man.
	We appreciate you.
	We appreciate your dad and everything you guys do all the time you take to, you know, try to give in.
	I think it's an honest pursuit of the truth.
	And that's something that's missing.
	Not just in the alternative media, but the media altogether, right?
	It typically comes with some type of dishonesty.
	And we need more honesty.
	Whether we agree with it or not is something else, but we need the honesty part of it.
	And that's something I feel that I can get from you and your family.
	So I appreciate you.
	Thank you for having me on.
	My name is Billy Ray Valentine.
	I do America Unplugged with Tony Arterburn and Don Jeffries at 12 p.m. Eastern.
	On Tony's X and in a couple of other places.
	And I currently host a show over on Ground Zero Plus.
	That's Clive Lewis' platform.
	We're two episodes in.
	Third episode should be this Sunday, 7 p.m. Eastern and every Sunday after that.
	I'm on there live, so that's a ground zero plus, and that's also on Tony Arterburn's X. You know, The Infinite Fringe is a podcast that I've done for some time.
	I haven't updated it in a while, but I'm going to start throwing those episodes up of the live show that I do there, so infinitefringe.podbean.com.
	That's pretty much what I got, sir.
	Awesome.
	Well, thank you for sharing that with the audience, and I encourage the audience to go check all those places out.
	Now, we were talking in the break.
	We had discussed a little bit about what we'd like to talk about.
	And I would like to start with Jeffrey Epstein, because as we said during the break, that is that was a core promise from the Trump administration when he was coming into office.
	I'm going to.
	I'm going to tell you all what really happened.
	And now we see people like Kash Patel and Dan Bongino backpedaling.
	It's like, oh, well, I saw the report and he committed suicide.
	I've seen this sort of thing before and he definitely committed suicide, which if there's one thing that I do know that I am confident in saying.
	Whether he's alive on some island somewhere or whether they really did kill him, I do not believe at all that that man killed himself.
	I think even just from a psychological profile, if you want to be purely rationalistic about this, that man does not have the mentality of someone who will kill himself.
	He is far too egotistical.
	You can see it in his actions and the way he behaved and the things he did.
	He did not have the type of psyche that would allow him to kill himself.
	He was too self-involved, in my opinion.
	Thank you.
	Once your whole world comes down, I don't know how that feels.
	I'm not suicidal.
	And if I were ever in a position like that, I don't know.
	I've never been in that type of position.
	So I don't know how that feels.
	When you have your whole world ripped from you, right?
	And this guy reveled in being a part of the elite and having all this money and doing whatever the hell he wanted at all times.
	And now he's in a cell and his life is being threatened by, you know, so many different and And so what does that do to a person?
	That being said, there's a plethora of evidence, circumstantial as it may be, that maybe he didn't kill himself.
	That maybe something else is going on.
	And it's hard for me to buy into the idea that He might have committed suicide given that, you know, the cameras weren't working coincidentally, right?
	He was in a cell with another person and that person was pulled out, right?
	The people that were responsible, the guards that were responsible for checking up on him, they, you know, didn't and fell asleep and nothing happened to them, I think.
	I think one of them got reprimanded and then he got his job back, if I remember correctly.
	Don't quote me on that.
	But it's a mess, right?
	All roads lead to this guy was murdered in jail, right?
	And then we should give a little bit of background with with the Trump administration, the Trump regime, like I like to say, and their promises here with Epstein.
	And this was I believe that the reason that Donald Trump is in play here, that we're even talking about him now and that he's the president of the United States is largely political.
	Christians and conspiracy theorists, because we would buy into this idea, this is the Cambridge Analytica style, and then there's the Cambridge Analytica style psychological operation, and of course we have Christian nationalism, we can look at that and how they've bought into.
	The Donald Trump idea, the idea of him, right?
	And he's there.
	So, I mean, he promised the Epstein files, right?
	He also promised, he promised a lot of things that were unrealistic in reality, like in particular, like putting an end to the Ukraine-Russia conflict in one day.
	You know, he said it's over.
	He said it many, many, many times.
	But that wasn't going to happen.
	You knew it wasn't going to happen.
	I knew it wasn't going to happen.
	But a lot of people bought into it.
	Same thing with Epstein.
	And a lot of people in the alternative media bought into it.
	And they were waiting for something to come from one of the people that could have been implicated in this whole deal.
	He was admittedly best friends with this guy.
	For a long time, they hung out together.
	They partied together.
	Trump talked about how Epstein liked the younger girls, right?
	And just like him, that they both liked girls on the younger side.
	You know, he's on the flight logs at least seven times, Donald Trump is.
	You know, so to expect full disclosure from that source.
	It's really mental gymnastics for me, but a lot of people expected it regardless.
	And also, he was asked on air.
	I forget what news outlet had him on, but he was asked about whether or not he was going to release the Epstein files.
	And he was like, well, maybe not, because, you know, a lot of people will be affected by it, you know, were his words.
	And then he came out, of course, yeah, we'll do it.
	We're going to do it.
	To me, that's such an insane response.
	It's like, that's exactly what we want.
	We want to affect these people that have been, with Epstein, doing these terrible things to these young girls.
	Yes, we want to affect their lives.
	We want to throw them in prison.
	We want them to face justice.
	If justice affects their life, that's their problem.
	They shouldn't have then been these type of horrific monsters that did these things.
	It is such a disingenuous, wormy way of speaking.
	Oh, it might affect their lives.
	How do you mean it might affect their lives?
	Do you mean they might end up in prison for the crimes they committed?
	Because that's what we want.
	Right.
	Yeah, no.
	But consider the source.
	Anyway, so we have, you know, we have a little bit of history laid out here with these files.
	Cash Patel said, who is the director of the FBI?
	before he became the director of the FBI.
	They were like, you know what, before he was confirmed, we are going to get these documents on day one.
	As soon as I get into...
	And that never happened, right?
	Pam Bondi, who's another one, Trump sycophant, was saying that she had them on her desk.
	Like, I got them on my desk right now.
	And I've been looking through them.
	It's crazy.
	We're going to release them.
	They're on my desk.
	Trust me.
	They're coming.
	Never came.
	Then she starts saying, and then they expect us to forget.
	What they've said previously.
	It's amazing to me because whether on your desk and then they turned into, oh, the Southern District of New York is stopping us from releasing these files.
	I mean, how are they going to stop you from releasing the files if they're on your desk, right?
	But they're stopping us and there's a war between the deep state and what we're trying to do to get you these files.
	and that's why we haven't released them yet.
	And then it turned into...
	And Kash Patel was like, nah, it's your fault.
	They're going back and forth.
	Then they finally released something to DC Drano and the rest of MAGA Media.
	I don't remember the rest of them, but it was just a binder with some information that we already had.
	And they were all proud of that, that they had that.
	But still, we don't get any conclusive Any conclusion to any of this, we don't get to know what happened, anything.
	Then we get Kash Patel and Dan Bongino admitting on air in defiance, and I don't want to say defiance, but it's in complete the opposite of what they've been saying for a long time.
	that Epstein didn't kill himself, that he'd been murdered.
	They've been pushing that theory for quite some time, and now Bongino...
	I see it.
	He killed himself.
	And Kash Patel, whom I don't trust as far as I can throw, he also goes along with the narrative.
	I said Kash Patel is probably as crooked as his nose is.
	Oh my god.
	His eyes.
	Don't stare into his eyes.
	Don't do it.
	You may turn into stone.
	But yeah, like so...
	And I played this on my show.
	I played the clip and we dissected it a little bit.
	There were a lot of very interesting things that came out of that interview with Bongino and Kash Patel.
	And I implore everybody to go look at it.
	And you feel free to step in whenever you want, Travis.
	I'm sorry if I'm filibustering here.
	Oh, no.
	I appreciate it.
	You're doing great.
	Thank you.
	All right, cool.
	So during this clip, he goes, Listen, I'm here to tell you the truth.
	I'm not here to tell you what you want to hear, he says.
	A lot of these, and he's talking directly to us, directly to the conspiracy theorists, directly to the alternative community, truth seekers, whatever you want to call yourself, he's talking directly to you.
	He's like, a lot of times that you think there's a there there, there is not.
	He's like, that's just the way it is.
	There is not a there there.
	So there are three different scenarios that I have come up with that are possible.
	Everybody gets to choose because, of course, we don't know.
	So it's choose your own reality here on the David Knight Show today, right?
	So the first option is that Dan Bongino is actually telling the truth, right?
	I'm open to that idea.
	Maybe it's something I want to believe, Travis.
	I'm open to that type of criticism.
	Billy, what are you thinking?
	I want to believe this.
	I want to believe that we have an honest broker somewhere in there in this administration that will tell us the truth, whether we want to hear it or not, right?
	Whether it's something that fits into our worldview or it's something completely different, right?
	They just say it for a matter of fact.
	So Dan Bongino.
	Who was a proponent of the Epstein murder theory, gets into office and he starts looking through these documents and does not find what he wants to find.
	Does not find it.
	Now, they could have easily fabricated something, but they didn't, right?
	He says, okay, I didn't find what I thought I was going to find.
	This guy killed himself.
	I know what this looks like.
	I've been in the Secret Service.
	He killed himself.
	We got to take their word for it.
	Right?
	That's it.
	Right?
	Option number one.
	Option number two is that he's lying.
	Right?
	They're both lying.
	Right?
	So, who are they lying about?
	And these are our next two options.
	Right?
	What's the obvious step here?
	Right?
	The most obvious step, if they are lying, they're lying to cover it up.
	Right?
	So, who are they covering up for?
	The most obvious route, in my opinion, the most logical route is, of course, Donald Trump.
	They're covering up for Donald Trump.
	If they're lying, right?
	If they're covering up, if they're saying this and being dishonest about it, why are they being dishonest about it?
	They're being dishonest about it, in my opinion, to cover up for their boss.
	He was implicated in it.
	We went over it a few minutes ago, of how involved he was with Epstein and Maxwell.
	He even wished Maxwell well when she went to jail.
	Donald Trump just says some of the craziest things sometimes.
	He's able to get away with it, so I guess he's fine.
	He just gets a free pass from his base.
	They either ignore it or...
	It's like, I don't think so.
	I think he's just genuinely wishing Ghislaine Maxwell well, as you said.
	It's incredible.
	And then option number three is who else would he be lying on behalf of, right?
	And this one doesn't make sense to me.
	It's Alex Jones, our friend Alex Jones.
	Steve Bannon got together to do a broadcast.
	It was something bizarre, right?
	Whenever I see both of those two together, I'm like, oh my God.
	And they came up with some theory that's already getting some type of traction out there that Dan Bongino and Kash Patel were mentally kidnapped and that they were doing SOS signs like, hey, hey, this isn't us.
	We're not, you know, trying to get a message across to people.
	To tell them that they were being forced to say this.
	So if we go along with that train of thought, with that line of thinking, right?
	These are supposed to be the people that are supposed to fight the deep state.
	They're supposed to be the people that are going to save America.
	They're supposed to be the most transparent administration ever.
	Their words, not mine.
	So if it's not Trump holding them, Hostage.
	Who's holding them hostage?
	It's the deep state.
	Who's the deep state?
	They gotta know who's holding them hostage, right?
	Why haven't they come out and said, hey, look, we received this message and just put it out there, right?
	And they are not letting us come out with the Epstein files.
	I mean, I would have called bull on that anyway.
	But regardless, they could have said that, you know?
	So either they're covering up for Trump.
	Or they're covering up for the deep state.
	Are they covering up for Bill and Hillary Clinton?
	You know, because that's what it would have to be at this point, right?
	Are they covering up for Barack Obama, for the people that are holding them hostage?
	Because they should be able to tell us that information if they are honestly trying to fight for us like they say they are.
	If they are the most transparent administration.
	Like they say they are.
	If all of those things are true, then they need to be transparent and say who's holding them hostage.
	Yes.
	We see this over and over again with people that get into power.
	They talk this big game.
	They say this kind of thing over and over again.
	Once I get in there, I'm really going to clean house.
	And they get in there and they immediately just start towing the party line over and over again.
	And it's especially true in Trump.
	I've got some comments here from my producer Lance.
	He promised to release the files, but all he got was, trust me, he killed himself.
	Just trust me.
	And we've talked about on the show before how there's so many ties to Mossad when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
	Ghislaine Maxwell's father, I believe it was, was a Mossad agent himself.
	So when you talk about who could they be covering up for, down the pipeline, you could very well, I can very well imagine with all the ties and evidence that there is, that there is a Mossad angle as well.
	You know, those are your options.
	Choose your own reality.
	Which do you think you want to buy into?
	You know, so I mean, either way, it's not good.
	None of it is good, right?
	All three options lead to something.
	Bad.
	It needs a mind control and cover-ups.
	You pick which one you want.
	And that's where we are with this.
	I think the mind control headlines might sell more books, though.
	So if you're looking to write a spy thriller, perhaps go the MKUltra angle.
	They got in and they just flashed some lights in front of their eyes or something like that.
	They just keep dosing Dan Bongino's water with acid before he goes to a press conference or something like that.
	They keep putting Catcher in the rye on his bedside table at night.
	Right, right, right, right.
	It's funny because you would think that that would be the case, right?
	But I've been sitting here, I don't know, since 2020, 2019, trying to figure out what's going on.
	And you can literally make a connection to actual mind control here on the masses via social media.
	But most people don't want to go there.
	They don't want to explore these things.
	They don't want to talk about Cambridge Analytica or psychological warfare, fifth generation warfare.
	They don't want to talk about these things.
	And I would think that people in our bubble that search out these things and are looking for the truth would explore these avenues and try to suss out what's going on there and what real mind control actually looks like nowadays.
	But mostly, it's not that.
	People want to push away from that and not talk about those subjects and think that their thoughts are their own and that they weren't manipulated into something or that we are currently being told what our reality is.
	Our thoughts are not our own, nine times out of ten.
	Unfortunately, we have to come to terms with that.
	And I think the quicker we come to terms with that, the better off we'll be because we'll start recognizing when we're being manipulated, when we're being controlled.
	I don't think the alternative media has much of an interest in sussing these things out, unfortunately.
	But you would think, maybe I will write a thriller, my first novel, NYC Mind Control by Billy Ray Valentine.
	Put it out there, see how it works out.
	Exactly.
	We'll have to get you back on once you do write that.
	Give us the rundown on it.
	We've got some other good comments here.
	First one from KWD68.
	Promises made, promises dropped.
	Yep, just right out the window.
	And, of course, we've got a really good one here from Knights of the Storm, Jason Barker, a great friend of the show.
	What's up, Jay?
	Again, the flight logs do not prove any crime.
	They are talked about to take attention off the thousands of hours of video from the island.
	Now they are saying they are still going over the video and they only implicate Epstein.
	Why would he only record his crime?
	That's right.
	If it only implicated Epstein, they probably wouldn't have to sit there and just, you know, oh, we're still scrubbing through it.
	You could just release it.
	But since it has other people in it, they are having to worry.
	That would be my assumption as well.
	Call me conspiratorial, but I don't even think they have these videos.
	I would have to see it to believe it, and I don't want to see it.
	They're not going to show this to us.
	Not that anybody in their right mind wants to see this, but we're going to have to take their word for it, for whatever they say, because these videos, at least nothing incriminating, will never be released if they exist at all.
	I think by the time people, the federal agencies raided Epstein Island, whatever was left there was left there on purpose.
	I don't think there was anything there of value for prosecution.
	But that's just me.
	I don't have any real evidence You would think that they would just destroy the JFK file at some point.
	Oh, oops, we lost it.
	It's gone.
	Sorry.
	Why would they keep a bunch of damning, incriminating evidence around?
	If it still exists, it's probably been utterly sanitized.
	If I was in charge of the JFK files, if I was working at the FBI or the CIA or whoever has that thing, anytime we got new interns in during the year, I'd be like, all right, it's your job to make up some new weird fact and add it to the JFK file.
	So you would just bury it under a litany of insane nonsense.
	So just keep adding random stuff to it.
	So when they do release it, if ever, you'll never know what is actually there.
	But personally, I kind of agree with you in the sense that.
	And I could see them potentially leaving certain ones there as a, hey, look who we've got on video.
	Look what we know.
	You don't want to go down this rabbit hole.
	So whether it's Mossad or CIA or both of them in bed together, just letting other people know, we've got you on camera.
	And if this ever comes out, you're finished.
	That's why it's so hard to believe that he killed himself.
	Hold on for a second.
	Absolutely.
	But we've got another great comment here from Audi MRR.
	Trump's big, beautiful bill includes giving police total immunity nationwide.
	Trump not only wants federal immunity for cops, but he wants unlimited financial resources for cops who are sued for civil rights violations.
	In addition to covering all legal expenses for the cops, the DOJ will not review civil rights claims but focus on immigration.
	Trump wants to punish whistleblowers and law enforcement.
	Yes, we've seen over and over again that the militarization of police has led them down a path of just abusing and stamping on the civil rights of the people.
	And any time that gets questioned, they just rally around each other and hold rank.
	But Audi, he's a good watchdog.
	It really...
	Immigration was discussed, right?
	But the way they framed it was, we're going to get rid of the criminals.
	The criminals have to go.
	And everybody's a criminal, according to him.
	And that verbiage...
	Unfortunately, hindsight is 20-20, so we can look back now and say, oh, this is where they were going with some of this stuff.
	But I was screaming about the verbiage being used.
	I couldn't properly explain what the payoff was going to be for the verbiage that they were using, and hindsight is 20-20 for that too.
	When they paint everybody as a criminal, what do you think is going to happen?
	So they are not getting rid of criminals.
	They don't have enough of them to get rid of them.
	They're getting rid of criminals, but they promised large-sized deportations, and there's not enough of these criminals to get rid of.
	So they're getting rid of the regular people, people that are working, people that are contributing, and there are...
	They contribute to the United States.
	They contribute by paying taxes.
	And they contribute into these social programs that they will never get a payoff from.
	Because they're not citizens.
	But they pay into Social Security.
	They pay into Medicare.
	They get taxed.
	And I've seen this in my own life.
	So these are the people, innocent people, that are being rounded up viciously in some cases and thrown out of the country, sometimes sent to not their country of origin.
	We're talking about El Salvador at Seacott, which is a concentration camp, admittedly.
	And what Nayib Bukele did down in El Salvador in order to get there was very suspect.
	but these are the people that are friends with the Trump regime, right?
	You know what I mean?
	He's sympathetic to Vladimir Putin sometimes.
	I mean, all of these people are detestable people, but this is our reality.
	He's also talking about sending people to Libya.
	But it's fine when it's the illegal immigrants that this is happening to until it starts knocking on your front door.
	And when they use these words like invasion and war, right?
	Then that gives them the justification to suspend habeas corpus.
	Because they're like, well, it's a war.
	It's not, but it is to them.
	They're saying that it's a war.
	It's an invasion.
	It's not, but they're saying that it is.
	So, given the definition of those two words and the narrative that they've built around that, They are able to or at least make a case for the suspension of habeas corpus or using something like the Alien Enemies Act.
	You know, because it's a war and because it's an invasion, and who does that affect?
	All Americans.
	It's not limited to the illegals.
	And it affects citizens of Latin American descent.
	Right?
	But it also affects, once they suspend habeas corpus, it'll affect everyone.
	And everybody will get arrested and you won't have, well not, you know what I mean.
	They have the ability to arrest anyone that they want without due process or anything else.
	They can just lock you up.
	Yes.
	It's a very dangerous, dangerous thing.
	However anyone feels about illegal immigrants or illegal immigration, you cannot and should not sanction getting rid of habeas corpus for anyone.
	Because if the government gets rid of it for anyone, that sets a very alarming precedent, as you've said.
	Whether you are pro-keeping illegal immigrants here or for removing them, you should be awesomeness.
	The government has to show them what law they violated before they can detain them and ship them off to these, as you said, it's basically a concentration camp in El Salvador.
	This prison is one of the most horrific places on the planet.
	They are just packed in there like sardines and it is incredibly violent.
	We should not just be shipping anyone we dislike off to this place.
	It sets a very very dangerous precedent and to see the right Donald Trump is not going to be president forever.
	Whether he doesn't use it himself, they have set a precedent that if you say things they don't like, they can ship you off somewhere.
	Especially with the way people talk about what's going on with Israel.
	If you say something they deem to be anti-Semitic, they can just de-platform you, arrest you.
	And that is not simply going to be relegated to people that are not from this country.
	That is something that the ADL will push for for everyone.
	We have seen it recently with Hassan Piker, someone I despise, someone I think is a disgusting human being who routinely says horrific things, but they are going after him mostly because of what he has said about the war in Gaza and calling it a genocide, which I agree with him on.
	And if that's not true, And that's what they're trying to censor him for.
	We cannot support it.
	I hate Hassan Piker.
	I think he is, as I've said, a disgusting reprobate.
	And do not support anything.
	But I do agree with him that the fact that the Israeli government is committing a genocide in Gaza.
	And if I were to sit there and co-sign and be like, yes, get him ADL.
	Please take him out.
	Suppress him.
	They will immediately turn around and be like, oh.
	What are you saying about Israel?
	What are you saying about Benjamin Netanyahu?
	It will immediately be used against us as well.
	We have to, at minimum, no matter how you feel, no matter who it's about, demand the rule of law.
	Demand that it is not just done by dictate, by Donald Trump's feelings, or whoever is in power.
	Because as before, while Donald Trump may be targeting the people that you dislike and may want to remove, it will not always be Donald Trump.
	Right.
	No, I couldn't have said it better myself, I think, and that's what, I think that's at the root of being American.
	We need to follow the rules of law, right?
	The rule of law that we've set up, that our founding fathers had set up, right?
	And if we need to make a change, we do it.
	Legally, right?
	We move for an amendment, and that's very difficult to do, but we need to follow these restrictions, the guardrails that have been set up for us, right, in order to get these things done.
	Just because, at bare minimum, I would make a plea to people, right, that, I mean, you want the illegal immigrants out, we can have a conversation about how that's supposed to be done.
	And we can do it in a legal fashion, right?
	And in a way that doesn't break down the guardrails.
	Because once the guardrails are broken, it's broken for everyone.
	It's not just for the people that you want out.
	So even if it's for a very selfish reason, just think about it that way.
	It could affect you and someone you love.
	Like, in a very real situation, if it's not Donald Trump, somebody else can take that and do it.
	We are opening the door for it.
	So we can't.
	And I think people should be properly educated in this.
	I don't think people are thinking far ahead.
	It's very, like, right now, impulsive.
	And that's what our society has become.
	It's very, very impulsive, very, like, what can I have right now, instantly?
	We don't want to wait for things.
	We don't want to think things through.
	I think this is part of that.
	But yes, at the very least.
	If we're going to be selfish about it, let's think about how it will affect us in the future.
	Yes, and of course, I will be frankly honest and say I am for deporting illegal immigrants and removing, but I do think it needs to be done humanely.
	Just because you came to this country illegally doesn't mean you should be thrown into a concentration camp in El Salvador.
	I would want them to be sent back to where they came from, not just, again, willy-nilly dispersed to whatever country we can find to throw them into.
	That I think is absurd and ridiculous.
	And of course, suspending habeas corpus is a terrible idea.
	That is, again, the root of it all.
	We do not want to break the law ourselves.
	That will come back to bite us very, very quickly.
	But we have seen over and over again that Donald Trump just likes to do things with the stroke of a pen.
	He just likes to declare things.
	He likes to grandstand and make these bold, sweeping declarations and not really think about what kind of consequences that has down the line.
	We can see that with the tariffs with how he changes his mind day by day.
	Oh, it's 25%.
	It's 50%.
	Oh, it's 200%.
	And the level of volatility and instability that creates there.
	So we've got another good comment here about when we were talking about Epstein.
	Dougalug, we don't need the whole video, just a couple pictures from it to show who was there.
	That's right.
	That's all it would take for them.
	They could just release a couple short.
	You know, either clips or just some screenshots of it.
	We've also got a great comment here from Gard Goldsmith.
	Gard is a great friend of the show.
	It is so obvious that Epstein was a Mossad CIA and using his influence to blackmail people and that the vids have been eliminated, save for those that are useful to the CIA.
	That's where I stand on the issue, Gard, is I believe that any video that would have been damning has been removed and they only kept the ones that are useful for blackmail.
	But Gard is a great friend of the show.
	He has Liberty Conspiracy, and he's on Substack Gard Goldsmith.
	So go check him out as well.
	What's up, Gard?
	How you doing?
	Everyone loves Gard.
	Just a great all-around guy.
	And we've got another great comment here.
	Jerry Alitalo, when pressed over his controversial association with Jeffrey Epstein, Bill Gates responded, well, he's dead now, so it really doesn't matter anymore.
	That's right, you know.
	No need to care about that.
	Pay no attention to the dead man behind the curtain.
	Right, right, right.
	Even pictures, though, right?
	Let's say if they show a picture of Barack Obama at Epstein Island, what's that going to prove?
	Or that he was there?
	Is that a crime?
	So what's it going to prove?
	So it's going to take it just a step further.
	What do we really have to see?
	Do you want to see it?
	And if we're not going to be shown this, we have to take their word for it.
	And are we willing to take their word for it?
	And if we are, why are we willing to take their word for it?
	All of these things come into play.
	Because whether we like Barack Obama or we don't like Barack Obama, we have to follow the rule of law.
	And we can't lock him up just because we think he did something because of a picture of him on an island.
	There needs to be more evidence, and this needs to be fleshed out, right?
	So it's a crazy situation.
	And then we have to start thinking about why we think about the things we do and why we assume certain things about certain people.
	While not having the full picture in front of us, we still look in that direction.
	And that's true for all of us.
	But these are all questions that would need to be answered.
	If a couple of pictures just came out, we would need more than just a couple of pictures, I think.
	I think we need more than that.
	I don't think we're going to get that for anybody or anything.
	No.
	If they've held on to the JFK files for this long, there's no way, in my opinion, they're going to release the Epstein files.
	I think they'll release something, Travis.
	I just don't know what they're going to release.
	I think eventually they'll release something.
	What does that mean?
	You know, they'll release a bunch of papers, a ton of redactions, maybe, maybe not.
	I don't know, but it won't lead anywhere.
	They released 1,800 JFK files.
	And in reality, it told us nothing.
	It just told, you know, if you are like a super enthusiast on the JFK murder, you But it doesn't tell us that there was a second shooter.
	It doesn't tell us that there was a different shooter.
	It largely revolves around Lee Harvey Oswald.
	So we are to assume that he was the shooter.
	I don't know if it implicitly says that.
	But we are to assume that it all revolves around him for the most part.
	So they don't really tell us anything different.
	And that goes back to Dan Bongino saying, There may not be a there there for what you want.
	And there will be more situations like this.
	They just reopened up the cocaine in the White House situation, right?
	That they're going to reinvestigate the cocaine in the White House situation.
	And that's Kash Patel and Dan Bongino.
	Given what Dan Bongino just said, and he said it for a reason, what do you think we're going to get out of this?
	I'd be very surprised.
	If they came up with something that linked the Bidens into this cocaine.
	The Bidens weren't even in town when the cocaine was there.
	Right?
	But I'd be very surprised if they came up with something either way.
	And they're going to use this justification.
	They might throw Dan Bongino completely under the bus for all of this.
	He might be the guy that takes it all on the chain.
	Keep those words.
	Keep them in your memory banks.
	And keep them fresh for when you start seeing revelations.
	That aren't really revelations.
	And then they'll come back and tell you, you know, not everything is what it seems.
	Not everything is what you think it is.
	Yeah.
	They continually love to put out these releases.
	Like you said, we're going to look further into cocaine because that makes a good news headline.
	It allows Fox News to print something that gets a lot of clicks.
	But at the end of the day, like you said, what does that effectively mean?
	Even if they were to completely tie It to Hunter Biden.
	Do we really believe that that would have any impact on Hunter Biden's life?
	Do we really think that they would actually prosecute him?
	I mean, Trump spent the entire 2016 election saying lock her up for the crimes that Hillary Clinton verifiably committed for, you know, leaking and storing these top secret government documents on an unsecured server.
	This is something that they would nail anyone else to the wall for, but there are certain people that are above prosecution.
	And while it might be interesting, it might be a fun little excursion to go out and, you know, fully link Hunter Biden to the cocaine, it's not really going to lead to anything material.
	But it does make for good headlines, and it does allow them to say, look what we're doing.
	We're attacking our political enemies in some way.
	And it allows them to continue to keep the right focused on these small, you know, relatively small issues that don't really matter.
	When, you know, what they should be doing is focusing on what Donald Trump is actually doing with his time, where he's, you know, worsening our economic decline.
	And it's just, it is continually amazing to me that they will just fall for these stories.
	They love to sit there and look at these headlines like, oh, they're going to nail Hunter Biden for the cocaine.
	It's like, yes, we all know Hunter Biden is a cokehead.
	He likes to smoke crack.
	I would love to see Hunter Biden prosecuted.
	I would love to see him face justice for his crimes.
	Do we really think, even if they get him dead to rights, they could break down his door with a video camera crew and catch him doing crack and nothing would happen?
	And so, in my opinion, it is a waste of time and a waste of resources and a waste of effort.
	and is simply used as a distraction for the American people again.
	Where, you know, the right and the left both are continually distracted by things.
	They're distracted by different things.
	Whether the left is focusing on, you know, racism or global warming or whatever it is, is.
	The right likes to be distracted by this idea that we're going to, you know, prosecute the enemies that have been, uh, messing with us.
	We're going to get Hunter Biden's laptop and we're really going to do something with it this time.
	It's like, well, I've heard that song and dance before.
	We've seen that nothing has come out of it.
	You know, we have all this evidence and nothing has been done with it yet.
	So I don't think them You know, combing through the White House with a fine-tooth comb to find more evidence of cocaine usage is going to matter.
	And besides, while I do believe Hunter Biden was doing coke in the White House, I do not believe he's the only person doing coke in the White House.
	I would be monumentally surprised to find out that Hunter Biden was the only person that does cocaine in the White House.
	I mean, that would absolutely blow my mind.
	I am 100% sure, in my opinion, Allegedly, Bill Clinton has done cocaine off the desk in the Oval Office.
	It would blow my mind to find out he hasn't.
	He's probably done more than that.
	To circle back with Hunter, well, we know he's done more than that, actually.
	If you start to think about it, he's done a lot more than that.
	But to circle back to Hunter Biden, I do believe that if If MAGA, right?
	And there's a real difference between MAGA and conservatism.
	Conservatives and MAGA are two different things.
	I'm looking for the conservatives.
	I'm searching for them.
	Where are you?
	Where are the real libertarians?
	MAGA is not that.
	Although they may claim to be those things, they are not.
	So we're talking about MAGA here.
	The evidence to prosecute Hunter Biden on 90% of the things that they said was in that laptop, they'd have done it.
	And they never produced any evidence to say otherwise.
	They charged him with some tax thing, I think it was, and possession of a gun while under the influence.
	That's what he was charged for.
	That's what he was pardoned for by Joe Biden.
	All the other allegations of pedophilia and all this other stuff.
	What happened?
	And this is supposed to be the most transparent administration that's going to go after these people.
	I believe Kash Patel is going to try to do some of this stuff.
	I do believe it.
	What type of proof are they going to offer up?
	Because the operation is against us.
	We are the victims.
	We are the victims.
	We are the product.
	We are all of this stuff.
	For a long time, and I got turned on to this by Cambridge Analytica, they've been telling us what we want to hear.
	They took the data points from social media, from Facebook and other social media platforms, and were able to game out how people were thinking and what they were saying and who was thinking these things.
	And they constructed narratives and threw them at these people.
	So I would need to see more.
	Than what's been circulated on the internet about Hunter Biden's laptop.
	You know, because in all actuality, while there's a lot of talk about what was in there, what actual proof do we have, and what was he charged for?
	If you look at what he was charged for by these people that were rabidly going after him, nothing really to do with the laptop, you know?
	Burisma, all of this stuff.
	It's just there isn't enough evidence.
	I'm not saying it didn't happen.
	I'm saying they don't have evidence enough to prosecute this guy.
	That's fleshed out by what they actually charged him with.
	I would need to see more.
	Anthony Weiner's laptop and all the ridiculousness that came out of that.
	People were fainting that cops were throwing up when they saw what they saw out of that laptop.
	What happened to them?
	What happened to that?
	The most transparent administration is in power right now.
	What happened to all of that?
	What happened to it?
	And then you source it back to Eric Prince.
	It was my friend John Brissom who did some of the research for it.
	And that story is sourced back to Eric Prince.
	Allegedly, I saw it.
	But it's sourced back to him.
	He said it on a podcast and boom, it spread from there.
	I mentioned earlier in one of my shows about Amazing Polly.
	Karen Carpenter in the chat hooked me up with the name because I had missed the amazing part of it.
	I was only calling her Polly.
	But Amazing Polly came up with the Wayfair conspiracy on air.
	She just said it.
	And she didn't even say it as a matter of fact.
	She just said it.
	And it took off from there.
	No evidence.
	Nothing.
	It just took off from there.
	And then people started constructing narratives and coming up with evidence.
	This is what we need to get away from.
	So we need to demand accountability at the highest level from them, but also from ourselves.
	And if we're going to make accusations, we need to have the right evidence to make those accusations, not because we are mentally inclined to make those accusations or because we don't like the other side.
	No.
	Why are they doing this?
	Because eventually it's going to come right back to you.
	Eventually it'll come right back to you.
	So we need to be intellectually honest about this, in my opinion.
	Yes, and I try to live by the rule that anytime I find something that 100% confirms my bias and exposes the people that I dislike and want to be exposed, I assume it's false until I can prove it's true.
	because there are so many people that make a living off of generating clickbait headlines or just creating things out of whole cloth or like you said someone just says something is a possibility and then ten other people pick it up and run with it as fact and then a hundred other people are pushing it as fact and it becomes very very hard to sort Right, right, right.
	And information travels so fast now and you get these iterations so incredibly rapidly where it evolves from one thing into the next thing into the next thing.
	And it can do this in the span of days to hours at this point where it gets picked up and moved along from news source to news source or whoever you're watching online.
	So if you're not very careful, you can very, very easily fall victim to some of these things because they sound plausible.
	They're about these people that we know to be criminals.
	They're about these people that we know Right.
	And if you just immediately trust everything you see, you can very easily get suckered.
	But we've got some good comments.
	Absolutely.
	And we even got my dad sent a comment in as well.
	But first one, Jerry Alitalo, Lee Harvey Oswald shot and killed Jeffrey Epstein.
	Well, you heard it here first, folks.
	This is a fact.
	Lee Harvey Oswald shot and killed Jeffrey Epstein.
	This is true, and I want to see you spread it everywhere.
	Option number four in the choose-your-own-reality game that we're playing here.
	I like that one.
	I think I'm going to go that route.
	I like it, too.
	I'm glad we're on the same page.
	And we've got a comment from my dad.
	Musk has come out against Trump and his big, beautiful bill, correctly pointing out it will blow up deficit and nullify Doug.
	Well, it looks like there's some division in the House of Trump here.
	Even Elon Musk is looking at this and saying, ooh, that's not a good idea.
	And normally, Musk is very much a sycophant.
	Greetings to Mr. Knight.
	Hope you're feeling better, sir.
	Wishing you the best, and we're praying for you.
	You'll be fine in no time.
	Take your time.
	We can wait.
	We need you for the long haul, so take your time and get better, sir.
	God bless you.
	Let me add a little bit of this, a little bit on my thoughts on that.
	He did come out and say the big, beautiful bill was not big nor beautiful.
	Actually, what he said was he said it could be big, It could be beautiful, but it can't be both.
	And this affects a lot of people in a lot of ways.
	I think what the Trump administration, the Trump regime is doing is breaking the backs of the working class, the middle class, and the poor in this country in order to continue to expand upon the divide between the rich and the poor.
	The disparity between both of them is just getting larger and larger and larger.
	Since I don't trust Elon Musk as far as I can throw him, and Tesla's not doing very well, it's doing atrociously in Europe, it's not doing very good here in the United States, X isn't doing very well, SpaceX is having their issue.
	I see this as a strategic move on behalf of of Elon Musk, and he is distancing himself from the politics of this because it's affecting his bottom line.
	Right.
	It's affecting his dollars.
	So does he really think that this is?
	Yeah, I believe it was the H-1B visa bill.
	Right, right, right, right.
	He came out against that.
	So it could be that he really thinks this is nonsense.
	But I think Elon Musk at this moment is trying to distance himself from the Trump administration in order to rehabilitate some of his businesses.
	And maybe he'll come back after that.
	But he's being adversely affected.
	People don't want to deal with him.
	And good.
	I'm glad.
	People don't buy Teslas.
	Don't support any of this nonsense.
	He's lying to you.
	And he's knowingly lying to you.
	He's lied to you about Doge.
	They all have lied to you about Doge.
	To the point that they've lowered their standards, admittedly, themselves at this point.
	So this is a massive takeover, a dark enlightenment strategy.
	These technocrats, Peter Thiel.
	What they want to do is they want to install a dictator.
	This is what Curtis Yarvin has said.
	They want to install a dictator and the rage doctrine, retire all government employees.
	That's what they want to do.
	They want to get rid of everyone and start fresh, destroy the government, put in a dictator.
	That dictator is Donald Trump.
	And the technocratic wonderland that is to come is the result of all of this.
	That's where we're headed.
	Yes.
	According to them, not according to me.
	Take that for what it's worth.
	Yes, I had an interview with Courtney Turner on Friday.
	She talked about Game B and, you know, the technocrat plans.
	Now, there's, you know, two sort of camps.
	There's the ones that kind of want to do it from the top down, you know, crush everyone underneath their boot.
	There's the more friendlier face, like, oh, we're going to empower everyone.
	But it all eventually leads to the same thing, where it just leads to centralized control and these AI systems running everything.
	And again, we hear this, retire all government employees.
	Oh, that's great.
	We'll get rid of these bureaucracies.
	We'll get rid of these people that are ruining our lives.
	But when it's replaced by an AI system, that's even scarier.
	Be careful what you wish for.
	There's the potential for mercy from a human.
	It might be unlikely.
	It might be so very unlikely, but there's still that slight chance that the person will look at you and have pity.
	There is no chance of that with the AI.
	He says, Thank you, Billy Ray.
	I'm enjoying the interview.
	Great to have you on.
	Excellent.
	Hope to see you soon.
	Take your time and relax.
	We love you.
	God bless you.
	Travis, I gotta run.
	I appreciate having you on.
	Thank you for everybody for supporting the show.
	You guys know how you can do it and keep David in your prayers.
	Love you guys.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	I hope you took something from what I said and if you disagreed, brv1776 at gmail.com.
	I will be glad to answer your questions if I get to the email.
	Awesome.
	Thank you so much.
	Thank you, buddy.
	Thank you so much, Billy.
	You have a great rest of your day.
	You too, buddy.
	Bye.
	Bye.
	All right, folks, that was Billy Ray Valentine.
	It was a pleasure to have him on.
	We don't agree on everything, but we don't have to because we agree on the fact that we should follow the rule of law.
	That is the main point there.
	Habeas corpus applies to everyone because they are God-given rights.
	They are not man-given or government-given rights.
	And that is what we need to focus on.
	Have a comment here from Lance, or he can just go ahead and read it if he wants to.
	But he says, it would be nice for someone in the Trump administration to do something for principle instead of self-interest.
	Musk doesn't like BBB because it will affect Doge.
	Yes, it will dramatically impact his own pet Dogey.
	He does not want that to happen.
	He has, well, I don't know if he's worked very hard, but he's praised himself and crooned a lot based on his work there with Doge.
	Anything that undermines that is a threat to his ego.
	The one thing that you can be sure of with these billionaires is that they will serve their own self-interest.
	That is what you can always depend on with human nature.
	But we are almost out of time here, folks.
	We've got just over a minute and a half.
	So in this time, I again want to say thank you all.

	The Common Man music 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.

	Thank you for listening.
	Thank you for sharing.
