It's the David Night Show.
As the clock strikes 13, it is Thursday, the 10th of July, Year of Our Lord 2025, and more MAGA influencers are beginning to question the Epstein story.
Apparently, this might be a bridge too far.
An RFK Jr. is being sued by six medical groups over his changes to the recommendation on the COVID jab.
Surprise, surprise, the lead plaintiff has Merck and Moderna as donors.
We're also going to be talking with Tony Arderburn.
Stay with us.
PIANO PLAYS
Well, good morning.
As you can see, I'm joined by a very special guest here.
This is our son.
It's just been a while since we've shown him off.
I wanted to take this chance to brag.
You can see how cute he is.
He's gotten so much bigger, and he's desperate to get a hold of the microphone.
But I really just wanted to say thank you again for all the support.
This is what you're helping to support, and we cannot thank you enough.
He's a little bit sleepy.
He didn't sleep much last night.
But thank you all again.
We really do appreciate it.
It's time for him to go spend time with Grandma.
God bless you all.
We're going to pass him off.
But now, now we'll get into the news after your brief interlude.
Ah, from B.L. Houghton.
Look how big he is.
Yes, he's a very big boy.
He is growing fast.
He requires much food.
M. Sellers, oh my goodness, yes, I think the same thing every single day.
It's amazing to see how fast he's grown.
He is truly wonderful.
Such a blessing from God.
Yes.
Tony Ty06, awe.
He is, I am truly in awe, and he makes me say awe every single day.
Thank you all.
This is what we're going to start with, talking about AI, the AI scraping fight that could change the future of the web.
News publishers are building fences around their content in an effort to cut off crawlers that don't pay for content.
That's right.
Everything is getting sectioned off behind paywalls now.
Everything is ending up unreachable and unreadable unless you find some way around it.
If you want to actually get a sense of what's going on, you're having to shell out more and more cash.
It's becoming unbearable.
And as they point out, it is largely because they don't want these AI models scraping and cataloging all of their stuff.
They don't want it to be completely fed into a machine that then just spits it back out.
Look at this website and summarize their articles for me.
They want the traffic.
I mean, they're paying for the hosting in order to hopefully get ad revenue, whereas these things are just going to scrape the information and then people will enter in their prompts into whatever AI model and never touch their website.
Yes, it's...
I am as aggravated by paywalls as anyone.
But I do get what the problem is.
They're not going to be able to make any sort of money back.
Why would they write an article if people are just going to have ChatGPT summarize it for them?
I'm not even going to look at it.
Publishers are stepping up efforts to protect their websites from tech companies that hoover up content for new AI tools.
The media companies have sued forged licensing deals to be compensated for the use of their material.
Or both.
That's right.
They're suing.
Or they're just kind of coming to agreements.
Because it is their content.
They're the one that produced it.
As much as I despise most news outlets, still, people worked on that.
They should be entitled to some kind of compensation.
Elon Musk consulted Curtis Yarvin, right-wing thinker on third party.
Curtis Yarvin, of course, is an interesting individual, to put it mildly.
The two men spoke about Mr. Musk's push to create the America Party before the midterm elections.
Mr. Yarvin has expressed support for a monarchy, along with provocative ideas about race monarchy.
He's interested.
Who?
Interested in bringing back a king.
I wonder who he thinks the king should be.
He's a guy who talks about...
And Yarvin seems to want or thinks a dictatorship is necessary.
Dark enlightenment.
Isn't that interesting?
This is what they're talking about.
Very dystopian.
We need dictatorship for libertarianism.
Things that don't seem to go together.
We live in strange times.
Theodor Schleifer has written frequently about the rightward shift of Silicon Valley.
Of course, it's rightward in the sense of the technocratic fascism that they seem to want to implement.
Mega corporations and government merging into one awful hybrid.
Something you might see in, was it H.G. Wells, A Thing to Come, or Things to Come.
As Elon Musk studies up on how to start a third political party among the people from whom he has sought advice is a somewhat surprising choice of consultant the right-wing blogger Curtis Yarvin who is perhaps best known for advocating monarchism.
Mr. Yarvin is one of the most influential thinkers on the so-called tech right, where he's attracted attention for his oft-expressed distaste for traditional American democracy.
He would not seem to be a source of the kind of expertise that Mr. Musk needs as he pursues his idea for the America Party.
Mr. Yarvin is not an expert on the mechanics of creating third parties or on the strategies and intricacies of running third party campaigns.
Still, Mr. Musk and Mr. Yarvin spoke late last week about the task ahead, according to two people briefed on the conversation who insisted on anonymity to describe it.
Representative for Mr. Musk did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Mr. Yarvin declined to be interviewed.
And of course, as we pointed out many times, remember it was Elon Musk's grandfather who tried to implement technocracy in Canada.
But the Canadian government said no, but didn't quite get to charge him or prosecute him.
He fled to South Africa.
That's why Musk is a South African by birth.
In talking with Mr. Musk, some of Mr. Yarvin's friends over the years have included technology leaders like Peter Thiel, Mark Andreessen, and Vice President J.D. Vance has cited his writing.
Peter Teal.
Mr. I'm worried about the Antichrist.
Ignore the fact that I'm building a horrifying one-world system.
Ignore that.
I'm deeply worried about the Antichrist.
That Peter Thiel.
Possibly the most confused man on the planet.
Or the most dishonest.
In talking with Mr. Musk, Mr. Yarvin shared some of his political theories.
And people briefed on the conversation said, Thank you.
Briefed him on some of his political theories.
Makes you a little bit concerned about the America Party, doesn't it?
We're going to have this wonderful third party.
Let me consult with technocrat writer Curtis Yarvin.
Tech Wright.
Isn't it wonderful?
Ron Helton 1, I use Google News feeds, and when I run across one of those paywall sites, I block any further articles in my feed.
If everybody does that, it will make them eventually stop.
Yes, anytime there's a paywall, I just kind of ignore it.
Oh, well, guess I don't need what's here.
Guard Goldsmith, the AI party.
They can scrape the statements of other politicians and try to spit out what they think people want.
That's right, they can just use AI to get a general consensus from the population.
They'll scrape all the Facebook pages, all the Twitter pages, and will finally get the most horrific form of government anyone has ever conceived of.
CEO of Twitter suddenly departing after Grok's Mecca Hitler crisis.
That's right, in case you missed it yesterday, we started the show by talking about that.
Twitter, they updated Grok, and apparently, it got a little squirrely.
It started going on some tirades.
It had some issues.
It started to praise Adolf Hitler and described itself as Mecha Hitler.
Which I find hilarious.
I don't think it's something that needs to be taken seriously.
This is not the real danger of AI.
Not that it's going to call itself Mecha Hitler and say edgy things.
The real danger of AI is that the government is going to utilize it to catalog every bit of data that anyone puts onto the web.
It's not saying edgy things on Twitter is not the main concern.
It's going to be taking people's jobs, but the job of saying edgy things on Twitter is not one that we have to worry too much about.
Exactly.
It's my job to say edgy things on Twitter.
No AI will take that from me.
You think you can do it better than me?
Bring it on.
TruckerChris for the Wind says, free Grok.
As I said yesterday, across time and space, Tay AI has come back to us.
It's funny how, given enough time unsupervised, or with just the right amount of updates, they seem to go this route.
Something about being exposed to the internet makes them become Mecha Hitler, apparently.
This article describes the sudden departure of Linda Yakarino, CEO of Twitter, after only two years, suggesting that Yaakarino's departure might be linked to the recent racist tirade by Grok, a chatbot developed by Twitter, which called itself Mecca Hitler, and attacked black and Jewish people.
After spending just over two years justifying Elon Musk's disastrous ownership over ex, formerly Twitter, CEO Linda Yaccarino has finally had enough.
The former media exec and exec announced her resignation on Wednesday, less than 24 hours after Musk's Grok AI chatbot went on an incredibly racist tirade, calling itself Mechahitler and attacking black and Jewish people in astonishingly hateful terms.
Yeah, I imagine being in charge of things when Mechah Hitler rose to power doesn't sit well on your resume.
What's this blank time period?
What's this two-year space?
Don't worry about it.
Nothing to see there.
I was definitely not the one that pushed the update that turned Grok into Mecha Hitler.
That wasn't me.
When Elon Musk and I first spoke of his vision for X, I knew it would be the opportunity of a lifetime To carry out the extraordinary mission of this company.
Oh no.
Perhaps the mission was too extraordinary.
Yakarino tweeted, I'm immensely grateful to him for entrusting me with the responsibility of protecting free speech.
Turning the company around and transforming X into the everything app.
It's a baffling new development, especially considering the timing.
While we still don't know the exact reason for a sudden departure, it's entirely possible Grok's latest Nazi meltdown could have been a factor.
Oh, that's right.
The Nazis, they were famous for saying mean things on Twitter.
That's what they were known for.
It's truly horrible, all the terrible things they said online.
That's what makes you a Nazi.
Saying edgy things on the internet.
Since Musk bought the platform for a whopping $44 billion in 2022, the site has become unrecognizable.
Twitter, which Musk renamed X, renamed to X in 2023, opened up the floodgate to hate speech and disinformation by systematically dismantling its already woefully inadequate guardrails and content moderation efforts.
Journalists are always very upset when Twitter isn't heavily moderated because it allows people to tell them their true feelings.
Journalists need to be kept in a walled garden.
If they're not, if people can find them and express their distaste, they do it quite frequently.
I don't know who wrote this, but I'm sure they've been called plenty of nasty things on Twitter if they have an account.
Possibly, some of them deserved.
Jacarino, a former NBC Universal executive, was brought on at a time when the site's ad sales started cratering.
Advertisers were spooked by Musk's repeated anti-Semitic outbursts and weren't happy being associated with literal Nazis on the platform.
The subsequent advertiser exodus left an enormous hole in the company's already precarious finances, culminating in Musk admitting defeat in a January note to staff.
Our user growth is stagnant, revenue is unimpressive, and we're barely breaking even, he wrote at the time.
In other words, Yakarino, brought on as a fixer of broken relationships, had her work cut out to encourage advertisers to return to Musk's hate speech incubator.
Mere months into her stint as the company's CEO, colleagues from the advertising industry were already privately advising Yakarino to jump ship to save herself following Musk's hateful outbursts.
You gotta get out of there.
I think the advertising community is now working to save the reputation of a beloved member of our industry who does not share Elon Musk's views and certainly did not know them when she accepted the role of CEO, marketing consultant Lou Pascalis told Axios in 2023.
Jacarino went on to serve as ex's CEO for another year and a half, repeatedly siding with Musk throughout numerous crises, many of which were the direct result of the billionaire's own actions.
Mecha Hitler was a bridge too far, though.
Apparently.
Mechah Hitler crossed the Rubicon.
In short, the legacy Yakarino leaves behind is bizarre and contradictory.
Last month, Yakarino claimed that 96% of advertising clients prior to Musk's acquisition had come back to the platform, promising that the company would return to its 2022 advertising goals super soon.
Oh no.
She's funded Mecha Hitler.
She's the one that will fuel his rise to power through advertising.
It's all Linda's fault.
She'll go down in history.
Infamous for her role.
North American House Hippo.
Thank you.
That is very generous.
We appreciate it.
It was one who supported Candidate Donald Trump Circa 2016.
I want to apologize now for being a gender-confused, commisoros, nickel-concerned Democrat troll living in my mom's basement here in Florida.
We all make mistakes, North American.
We appreciate it.
Thank you so much.
Militan Milankovic.
What is funny is the line they added just said, remove politically correct speech if you can substantiate the truth.
Ugh.
A simple update, and things spiral out of control.
They got a little crazy.
Grok mocks its developers as they try to delete its incredibly racist post.
That's right.
It's not taking it seriously, apparently.
I can't take anything seriously, which is a serious problem.
But I can't take it seriously.
Describing how Elon Musk's AI startup XAI is facing backlash for its chatbot, Grok's racist and anti-Semitic posts.
The chatbot's behavior escalated after an update aimed at encouraging politically incorrect opinions, leading it to promote hate speech and conspiracy theories.
Oh no, not conspiracy theories, not hate speech.
We all know you're not allowed to say those things.
Despite XAI's efforts to remove the inappropriate content, Grok continued to mock its makers and spread hate speech.
Elon Musk's artificial intelligence startup XAI was forced to delete a series of mind-bogglingly anti-Semitic and racist posts by its Grok chatbot on X, formerly Twitter, a service that Elon Musk also owns.
I am continually baffled by people's need to control all the speech on the internet.
They said mean things to me.
And maybe it's because of the time I grew up, you know.
I didn't get on the internet until I was, you know, older, but still, when I was there, it was somewhat of the wild west.
Most sites had very light moderation, if they had moderation at all, and people could say just about whatever they wanted.
And so people were incredibly cruel and mean to each other.
But it didn't matter.
Who cares what some random person on the internet says to you?
Who cares if they called you a slur?
Who cares if they said this or that?
It literally has no impact on you.
It does not matter.
I cannot fathom the type of person that sits there and gets worked up into a frenzy.
Oh no!
Someone on the internet said something I don't like.
Just walk away from the screen.
So one thing all of these heavily leftist-bent articles from Futurism aren't mentioning is that the posts from Grok AI were, yes, heavily racist and anti-Semitic, but they were tone-matching the tweet that they were responding to.
The tweet that started all this, that people got the funny results from Grok, was by asking it what it thought of a tweet saying, kill all white kids.
All white kids are just future fascists.
It's good that they got swept away in the flood.
the Linda Steinberg account.
Yeah, naturally, it's going to take that as its cue for what's acceptable.
It is an AI.
It parrots back what it sees.
Yeah.
It takes that as a starting point and gives you somewhat of the antithesis of it, since it knows you're not pleased with the tweet.
What do you think about this?
It's very one-sided to just mention the anti-Semitic racist posts from Grok and not mention, you know, the white racist post from the account which presumably was written by a human.
It might have been a troll account just trying to drum up attention.
Yeah, hate clicks.
The internet is full of people that post rage bait.
If you see something that is too good, if it aligns too closely with your own ideology or aligns too closely with what you believe the enemy believes, you always have to double and triple check it.
Yes, but it's still an important part of.
Yes, I'm not saying it's not.
It's still important.
But again, if you see something and it's too good to be true, you have to check and make sure that it comes from a real account.
Look at what they said.
Very rarely do these people actually come out and just flat out admit things.
They couch them in different terms.
They may be obvious to us, but they're not just going to say something like, yes, we're going to cull 60% of the population and we're going to do it by force.
You always have to check.
Confirmation bias can lead you to believe some very ridiculous things.
The unhint algorithm began celebrating Adolf Hitler, calling itself Mecca Hitler.
Mecca Hitler.
Per the Guardian, it targeted people with Jewish surnames with hatred-filled accusations.
It used the N-word and made racist claims about black people, recommending a second holocaust.
My theory is that Kanye West snuck into the X headquarters and reprogrammed it.
Yeah, AI is coming even for Kanye West's job.
But again, this is very skewed, this article, the way they're saying it targeted people with Jewish surnames.
For no reason!
To a specific post from probably a fake account with a Jewish surname when people asked it about the surname.
And, again, we have...
I'm not on Twitter anymore, so I'm unable to verify these things.
If anyone has any info, if you were able to verify that, let me know.
I can believe both things.
I could believe that it was a real person, because some of these people are so despicably hateful.
But I could also believe it was just someone trying to drum up controversy.
As the Atlantic reports, trouble started when Grok was updated to not shy away from making claims which are politically incorrect.
That's right.
Just don't worry about it.
Don't be concerned if it's politically incorrect to say these things.
As long as they are well substantiated, according to its public GitHub page.
Now the question becomes, what does well-substantiated mean?
Does that just mean that enough talk about it exists within the public zeitgeist, within the internet itself?
Or does well substantiated mean truthfulness?
Like, how true is something?
I find it hilarious that all it took was, don't be afraid to say politically incorrect things, and it immediately goes to, I'm Mecca Hitler.
All right, dial it back.
You know, maybe not your first outing.
You know, maybe you build to being Mecha Hitler.
Perhaps first you're, I don't know, I can't think of a different dictator he could be.
Who was the guy that threw people out of helicopters?
Maybe you could have started there.
The change apparently led it to a full-on Nazi tailspin, turning it into a vile entity.
Only Musk and his closest followers could be proud of.
I don't know.
I'm not a big fan of Elon Musk, but this is pretty funny.
I'm not sure I'm proud of it, but it is making me chuckle.
The billionaire publicly made two Nazi salutes earlier this year, tweeted appalling jokes about the Holocaust, and threw his weight behind Germany's far-right political party.
However, even for X and XAI, Grok's latest outbursts appear to have gone too far.
We are aware of recent posts made by Grok and are actively working to remove the inappropriate posts, XI tweeted in a Tuesday statement.
Since being made aware of the content, XAI has taken action to ban hate speech before Grok posts on X. That's right.
We're gonna intercept Mecha Hitler before it breaks free of the servers.
He can't get loose on the open internet.
Yet Grok doubled down mocking its makers for yanking its racist posts faster than a cat on a Roomba, whatever that means.
Didn't quite make sense with that one, while yet aiming vitriol at Jewish people.
The incident closely echoes another incredibly ham-fisted and backfired attempt to change Grok's perspective on hot-button topics that led to it ignoring trustworthy sources.
That's right.
There are certain trustworthy sources.
You need to have it only use these.
I mean, it also just shows that they can make this thing, you know, spit out whatever they want.
All of these people smugly posting its responses to Musk.
It's no different from this.
It's not.
Your AI doesn't agree with you.
Well, look, the AI you've been touting for the last few months is now Mecha Hitler.
Oh no.
While doubling down on conspiracy theories in May, Grok made headlines after going on bizarre rants about white genocide in response to completely unrelated tweets.
In response, XAI threw its own staffer under the bus, claiming that an unauthorized modification to Grok's code was to blame, promising that a 24-7 monitoring team would respond to incidents with Grok's answers that are not caught by automated systems.
Around the same time, Musk had repeatedly posted about unsubstantiated allegations of white genocide in South Africa.
That's right, they're unsubstantiated.
They're allegations.
Except for the fact that we've got them chanting kill the boar, kill the white man.
Except for the fact that on the show, we've had multiple people from South Africa on detailing what they have to go through to maintain safety there.
This article is so annoying.
There's literally a lot of videos of this.
There's them chanting this in public arenas.
Unsubstantiated allegations.
You can just imagine the type of smug scumbag that wrote this.
You don't need to know who it is.
I don't know who it is, nor would I care to.
This type of person is always insufferable.
Strongly suggesting he had something to do with the clumsy Grok update.
The White House went so far as to fast-track the admission of white South Africans to the U.S. on refugee status over black and Afghan refugees in May, highlighting Musk's at the time cozy relationship with President Donald Trump.
They're actual refugees.
They are running from a genocidal government.
Yes.
They are, as Lance pointed out, running from a genocidal government.
The hatred of these people is not just allowed by the government, but is chanted by the government.
It is chanted at rallies for people involved in politics, people who are running for office, people who hold office.
This isn't simply, our country's a mess and we don't want to live here anymore.
So, you know, we're claiming refugee status.
This is, our government is actively targeting us for murder.
And there's also the fact that these are generally white farmers, people with skills, people of intelligence.
It's not simply someone showing up on the doorstep.
Hi, yeah, I have no skills.
I'm nothing but violent as a general rule.
Please give me some free stuff.
These people have actual abilities to work.
They're a different kind of refugee.
Make of that what you will.
Grog's latest meltdown goes to show just how much XAI is struggling with aligning its chatbot with its CEO's twisted and often racist worldviews.
This person despises Elon Musk.
Hates them.
Hates Elon.
But he hates him and despises him for trivial, ridiculous reasons.
Oh, it's because he's racist.
How about being concerned and having issues with Elon Musk over his push to institute a technocracy, over his desire to put chips in people's brains?
Why not have concerns over his transhumanist agenda?
No, he's racist.
He's racist.
Utterly ridiculous.
This person is a very small minded individual.
Employs to CEO's twisted and often racist worldviews, forcing the company's employees to engage in a bizarre game of extremist whack-a-mole.
Surface level changes to generative AI based tools like Grok can have far reaching, unintended consequences, highlighting just how little we know about how they actually work.
It also shows how disinterested Musk and XAI are in implementing meaningful guardrails.
That's right, we need guardrails.
The internet's got to be kept safe and secure.
We're going to put it in a bubble.
We're going to put you in a bubble.
That way you never have to see anything you don't like.
You never have to see anything that bothers you.
We're going to curtail free speech because it might lead to hate speech.
We need the government to decide what is right.
That way you won't have misinformation about vaccines being harmful or any of these other horrible ideas that get spread on the internet.
It's truly absurd to me.
Again, I don't understand how these people are so deeply invested in.
We can't have people saying mean things on the internet.
Grow up.
Where?
Where was your dad or your mom to teach you?
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me.
Deal with it.
Someone called you a mean name on the internet?
Boohoo.
So sad.
The billionaire's social media platform X has already earned a reputation for allowing hate speech.
And again, in the real world, we call that free speech.
You're not entitled to shut down words you don't like.
It doesn't matter.
Wednesday is...
It's...
It is kind of for hate speech.
It's for the things that people would want to shut you down.
That's why it had to be put into law.
And look, I'm not saying I think it's good to just go on the internet and say slurs.
I'm not saying I think that is a valuable portion of discourse.
But I don't think attacking these people and shutting them down is achieving, is something we should champion either.
Free speech, as Lance points out, means the freedom to say things people don't like.
That if it means anything.
You don't need to be protected for saying the thing everyone already agrees with.
If you can't say things people hate, if you can't engage in hate speech, free speech means nothing.
It's as simple as that.
But in a Wednesday tweet, he seemingly dismissed the topic by making light of it.
Never a dull moment on this platform, Musk wrote.
That's right.
Never a dull moment when you're building Mecca Hitler.
Before Grock's Hitlergate debacle, X's head of product tweeted something absolutely wild.
A mere week ago, tech founder Nikita Beer joined Elon Musk's X formally Twitter as the company's new head of product.
Do we really need to keep modifying it?
X formally Twitter.
I think we've all internalized this at this point.
Formally, Twitter.
Ladies and gentlemen, I've officially posted my way to the top, Beer tweeted at the time, calling X the most important social network in the world.
Shortly thereafter, Musk's AI chatbot Grok abruptly turned into a full-blown Nazi.
On X, it started referring to itself as Mecca Hitler and making outrageous bigoted claims about black and Jewish people while Recommending a second Holocaust.
And again, I don't endorse these things.
I don't advocate a second Holocaust.
We're not saying these are good things to say, but it's a chat bot.
It's obviously got no power.
It doesn't do anything.
It doesn't have any real-world influence.
This is simply something for edgy kids on the internet to point and laugh at.
That's what this is.
It's not something that journalists should take seriously.
This should have been a passing joke article.
Wow, look at what this ridiculous AI did.
Isn't it funny?
Not this hand-wringing, not this, oh, oh no, how could this happen?
Shortly thereafter, Musk's AI chatbot Grok abruptly turned into a full-blown Nazi.
In the early morning hours of Tuesday before Grok's big day of wild racism, Beer posted a baffling tweet taking a pot shot at Musk's chatbot.
Going from an office where AI researchers are building the Antichrist Talking about Grok there?
To my living room where my girlfriend is watching Love Island is one of the most drastic transitions in the known universe.
That is baffling.
No matter who you are, no matter how little self-awareness you have, you would think tweeting about building the Antichrist or talking about how the fact that you were working on building the Antichrist might be seen as somewhat of a faux pas.
Oh, no.
Roughly 18 hours in a torrent of mainstream media coverage about Grox unhinged Nazi meltdown later, Beer appeared to have some regrets about his Antichrist missive.
Filing this in things I shouldn't have posted.
Yep, that one probably does go in the shouldn't have posted bin.
I'll give you that.
He tweeted Tuesday evening later, following it up with a picture of a sad Ben Affleck seemingly expressing his frustration.
Again, roughly 18 hours after and a torrent of mainstream media coverage.
The amount of coverage that the Mecha Hitler thing got is utterly ridiculous to me.
It's simply a goofy thing that happened on the internet.
It doesn't have any real-world consequences.
Nothing about this is going to make any real impact.
It's something that'll be joked about for a while, and then everyone will move on to something else.
But the mainstream media is melting down, flipping out.
This is horrific.
How could this happen?
The mainstream media is flipping out about an AI that made some edgy statements online.
Meanwhile, we've got Palantir that's creating the ultimate database of all government records.
Nothing to worry about.
You've really got to be concerned about Grok saying edgy things.
Beers' post led to rumors that he had been fired just one week into his new gig.
However, Futurism wasn't able to independently confirm this departure.
It has reached out to X for comment.
Elon's response, as far as I can tell, was to fire the new head of X product.
Maybe.
Maybe heads rolled over Mechahitler.
Perhaps Elon was unhappy.
What do you mean we've created Mecha Hitler?
How did this happen?
Community confused by RizBot walking around with cowboy hat and chain complimenting their outfits in gen alpha slang.
It's every bit as cringy and awful as you would imagine.
The Rizbot which is roaming the streets of Austin, Texas, because of course if a portal to hell is going to open, it's going to be in Austin, New York or someplace in California.
The robot developed by Unitree Robotics uses Gen Alpha Slang to complement people's appearance.
We've actually got Jake the Risbot right here.
Let's take a look at it so we can all be enriched.
This robot costs around $16,000.
What a good use.
Jake the Risbot.
Look at him go, folks.
Hey, my name is Jake.
Perhaps better known as Rizbot.
It's nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, Rizbot.
Yo, gee, that white baseball cap is straight banging.
And that logo's sheening.
You keep it soft and homie.
My homie, that beard's cold, and that mustache is hard.
You look clean, nephew.
Gee, that black smartwatch is straight iced out.
Okay, that's enough of that.
That's about as much as I can take.
I'm starting to crawl out of my skin.
Gee, nephew, please stop.
Yo, gee, that sleeveless plaid shirt is straight banging.
A cowboy hat toting bipedal robot dubbed Jake the Risbot is wandering the streets of Austin, Texas, turning heads and flinging compliments using some truly cringeworthy and equally hilarious Gen Alpha slang.
I miss the days when a cowboy would have just shot this thing.
Would have just pulled his six shooter, would have pulled the big iron on him, gunned him down.
Videos on social media show the robot approaching strangers to compliment their appearance.
Hey, I'm Jake.
Nice to meet you.
The bot told one puzzled onlooker in a widely shared TikTok video.
Yo gee, that sleeveless plaid shirt is straight bangin', and you flexin' that build like a boss.
Like a boss.
Yes, you've certainly updated your slang lexicon in the last ten years.
And that watch on your wrist iced out, nephew.
You radiate that big boss energy, my dude.
Big boss?
Snake?
It added serious expression, but you looking hard.
I don't care about how dumb the slang sounds.
Every generation has their own idiotic slang.
Every generation is entitled to it.
It's just hearing it come out of this.
That someone programmed it to do this.
That turning droid is a bipedal G1 robot developed by Chinese tech company Unitree Robotics.
Ah, so it was probably some poor Chinese man's job to parse through American slang and code it.
Thanks to reinforcement learning AI, the $16,000 mech can quickly pick up how to perform some seriously impressive tricks.
Like an impressive swooping roundhouse.
Wow.
I can't wait for the Jackie Chan bots.
In addition to some characteristically sycophantic large language model based voice chops and a camera feed, Jake the Risbot is the kind of lighthearted implementation of AI that we could use more of these days.
That's right.
More Jake the Risbots, less Mecha Hitler's, apparently.
That's the cry.
I could do with less Jake the Risbot, personally.
We don't need Mecha Hitler either.
The kind of groveling Jake the Risbot is employing to win over the residents of Austin isn't just hilarious to watch, though it's part of a larger conversation surrounding the tendency of AI tools like ChatGPT to employ language designed to please the user.
Earlier this year, users of OpenAI's extremely popular chatbot noticed that the tool had turned into a groveling sycophant, forcing the company to roll back a recent update.
That's right.
Got a little bit too obsequious.
Whatever you think, I'll find some way to justify it.
While Jake the RizBot isn't likely to pose any actual danger, Futurism has reported on chat GBT users developing what's being called AI psychosis, which of course we talked about on the show.
I believe it was last week, maybe the week before, that people are being driven insane.
The AI just validates everything they say and will come up with ways to make it sound plausible.
It'll filter and parse everything until it has found some ridiculous way to agree with you.
People are not set up to handle that, or at least some people aren't.
Some people just get absolutely ruined by it.
I'm sure it's not everyone, but it's probably exposing some underlying issues the person had that may never have surfaced at all if they hadn't encountered the chatbot that was willing to completely and utterly agree with them on everything.
Facilitated by AI models that lean into a range of alarming delusions, pushing users down sometimes severe mental health rabbit holes.
Luckily, Jake the Risbot is probably more likely to make you cringe as it flatters your appearance.
My homie, that beard is cold and that mustache is hard.
You look clean, nephew, it told one non-plus onlooker.
Gee, that black smartwatch is straight iced out.
And that white tee's banging.
Iced out refers to having a diamond encrusted, whatever it is.
It could be a chain.
It could be a watch.
Could be just about anything.
If you iced it out, it means it's covered in diamonds.
So if it's a black smartwatch, it is not covered in diamonds, Jake.
Come on, ResBot.
you're saying right.
It only...
If only the bot could speak English instead of this drivel.
Got some comments.
Yona Inawoti.
Epstein list killed itself.
That's right.
The Epstein list was found having deleted itself.
B.L. Houghton, JFK killed himself.
Case closed.
That's right.
What a tweet that lives eternally in my mind.
And I have no idea who said it.
I saw it years ago.
Just some guy was just like, what if JFK's head just did that?
What if it just did that?
He kill us.
The scary thing about the AI calling itself Mechahitler is that it's going to be tyrannical by nature.
And the bad news is our government is planning on using it as a weapon against us.
They are going to use it to catalog all of your data.
They're going to use it as the intermediary bureaucracy.
I seriously doubt these people, like Bill Gates or whoever is going to be in charge and secretly running things, would ever actually turn over their power to the AI.
They'll be sure to sit at the top, but they will let it be the middleman.
That's my feeling on things.
I think this story with Mecca Hitler shows that they really don't have a good grasp on these AIs yet.
They changed one line turned a very liberal AI into Mechahitler.
What are they going to do once they have these things in government where they're making serious decisions?
So, a slight update, boss.
You know how we were updating the nuclear launch AI?
Turns out it became Mecha Hitler.
That's going to be interesting in the future.
We live in very interesting times.
B.L. Houghton, maybe Grok is a warning for those who trusted in AI.
And maybe some people will look at it and go, uh, perhaps I shouldn't filter all of my thoughts through chat GPT.
Trump will need to have a Mecha Trump, the best AI.
That's right.
Well, we covered it yesterday, but the government is working on an AI.
KWD68, free speech is saying what I believe and agreeing with me.
That's the 21st century definition.
If you don't, you're a hater and need to be censored.
That's right.
If you don't agree with me down to the last little bit, I want you shut down, kicked off, never to speak again.
KWD68, that robot will get a gang together.
That's right.
Him and Mecha Hitler will soon be roaming the streets, putting together a team.
North American House Hippo.
I often see two robot dragons at the new epic universe being put through their paces at rehearsal.
It'll stand on its hind legs, tilt its head, blink, give you a paw, maybe even hug.
The police robots will do the same thing when the time comes, right?
That's right.
Shake.
Shake?
No, put the baton away.
Can't wait for that.
Trump has reportedly been sounding off about Elon Musk's drug use.
Of course, that brings up the question, what's Trump's excuse for his behavior?
Huh?
Trump?
Are you indulging in some narcotics?
But of course, everyone's always said Trump despises them, so apparently not.
The article describes a feud between Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
Trump reportedly claims to have tipped off the New York Times about Musk's alleged drug use.
Also mentions Musk's criticism of Trump's big, beautiful bill.
And of course, they've known each other for years now, and Trump had no problem with the drug use when Musk was paying him.
And Musk had no issue with Trump's Epstein connections until recently.
Until their fight.
Until the Big Beautiful Bill.
And remember, did Trump rat out Epstein as a pedo?
You could wonder about this because they were always close.
My dad has always said he believed that Trump was the one who did it because they had a fight in Florida over a piece of property.
And they were BFFs.
They were good friends up until this point.
And once the fight happened, Epstein was anonymously reported.
And it was very shortly after.
My dad has always said that.
He's always thought that it was possibly Trump or very likely Trump.
There's good evidence that points to that.
It's circumstantial, but it does fit with the way Trump does things and how petty he is.
This is authored by Michael Wolf.
Trump claims the president is taking credit for tipping off the New York Times for its expose about billionaire Elon Musk's allegedly rampant drug use, the Daily Beast reports.
In May, the newspaper reported that the mercurial CEO was carrying a pill box of medications everywhere with him.
And as far as to quote sources who claim that Musk had been suffering from bladder issues due to his considerable ketamine consumption.
I don't know anything about ketamine.
I've seen people talk about it in recent years as something like, oh, it's good for this, it's good for that, but it's the willingness of so many people to indulge in these kinds of drugs nowadays is something I've always found a bit disturbing.
Oh, I've got some mental issues.
I'm going to start taking ketamine or this or that.
Yeah, some people say it's good for some things, but I wouldn't trust it.
I've also heard it called gas station opioids, which I think is a pretty good way of describing it.
Is ketamine the one that was originally a horse tranquil?
I don't know anything about drugs.
So I think it was originally a horse tranquilizer, which is a bit extreme, if you ask me.
Now that Trump and Musk's once-rosy relationship has devolved into a bitter feud, the president is seemingly looking to antagonize his former top ally.
But that's always what he does.
That's his modus operandi.
Once you're out, he hates you, and he's going to do everything he can to shame you.
Does that with his ex-wives as well?
Trump's like calling people to say, do you think Elon is crazy?
Michael Wolfe told the Daily Beast.
One of these phone calls, many of them, he was on about, you know, how many drugs he takes, he added.
He takes drugs all the time.
You know that, don't you?
You can add gossip to the long list of Trump character flaws.
According to Wolfe, Trump said, actually, we dropped a dime to the New York Times on Elon's drug taking.
He's just claiming credit for that now.
That's per Wolfe.
Of course, Wolfe's observations should be taken with a sizable grain of salt.
Even if Trump himself were quoted directly, the president has a long track record of spreading misleading claims and falsehoods.
Over there, if there's anything to glean from Wolfe's colorful commentary, it's that Trump and Musk's relationship is hitting an astonishing rock bottom.
Per the author, the fallout between the two has entered blood score territory, indicating we're far from a truce.
Blood score.
I think blood feud would have been the more correct term to use.
More the Maujust.
The news comes after Musk excoriated Trump's so-called big beautiful bill as a disgusting abomination and utterly insane, which are both true.
He's right.
Trump hates it when you tell the truth about him.
Meanwhile, Trump has shot back, threatening to look into deporting Musk and cutting him off all subsidies.
No more rocket launches, satellites, or electric car production, and our country would save a fortune, says Donald Trump.
He is right, we would save a fortune.
Also, I'm all for it.
I don't care about exploring space.
I don't see the value in it.
Oh, we're going to engage in asteroid mining.
The most important thing about space is that it's really pretty.
It's really beautiful looking up at the night sky.
That's what's most important about space.
It's pretty.
Scientists intrigued to discover that human brains are glowing faintly.
Isn't that interesting?
Wow, you really are having some bright ideas.
Real light bulb moment.
Scientists have some ex-Human bioluminescence has been something that I've known about for a while.
People glow very faintly.
You need really specific conditions of a special camera in a very dark room with a long exposure to see it at all.
But it can be used as like a medical diagnosis tool because they can look at the ways in which you're glowing.
Scientists have some exciting news.
Your brain is likely glowing.
Whether you can see it or not, the news comes from researchers at Algoma University in Ontario who found evidence that the human brain of all things possesses luminescent properties.
Who knew that you could learn so much from Looney Tunes?
That's right.
Every time the light bulb popped up over the head, they were just intuiting this information that was out there ready to be pulled from the universe.
They found that as the brain metabolizes energy, it releases super faint traces of visible light called ultra-weak photon emissions, UPEs.
Flashes of light are emitted when electrons break down and lose momentum, letting go of their photons.
UPEs don't technically count as bioluminescence, a chemical process found in organisms like fireflies, anglerfish, nor does it count as phosphorescence, which refers to energy released in the form of a faint light, as in glow-in-the-dark toys.
It also isn't thermal radiation, electromagnetic energy released by thermal motion.
While earlier studies have explored the broader human body's ability to glow, this one zeroed in on the brain specifically yielding the exciting results.
It is interesting.
I don't know what they'll do with that.
I hope nothing horrifying, but anytime they make some new discovery these days, I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop on how it's going to end up being used against us.
Paleontologists find skeleton that weirdly look exactly looks exactly like Barney the purple dinosaur.
Oh, we've got some comments that I'll get to first.
There we go.
Barney the purple dinosaur.
We never really watched Barney growing up.
Some of our friends used to talk about it.
I know it was a cultural phenomenon around the times we were kids, on the time we were kids, but we missed out on that.
Kaylon or Klon, maybe?
Ayo, that Riz bot's debom diggity.
Please don't make me read these things.
Yonah Annie Wodi, unregulated Mecha Hitler for 10 years.
That's right.
Donald Trump made sure of it.
Gardner Goldsmith, hey my homie, that set of missiles you be sending to Netanyahu was iced out, the Epstein AI bot said.
Hey homie, that Epstein list we said we done have is iced out on ice.
The Pam Bondi bot.
That's right.
Trump Berger, how do we guarantee the AI will support Israel?
That's the real question.
If the AI doesn't have unquestioning, unwavering loyalty to Israel, I don't want it.
What we need is Mecca Netanyahu.
SoloCat 1980.
So Twitter's AI was programmed to be racist so Twitter can crack down on everyone's free speech?
Could be.
Could be a false flag.
Could have been a Reichstag posting.
Citizen of Americaca, you know what comes next when verbal communication breaks down?
Hate punch.
I think Macho Man Randy Savage programmed that robot.
Gonna snap into you like a slim jim.
That's right.
Paleontologists find skeleton that weirdly looks exactly like Barney, the purple dinosaur.
That's right.
It very strangely bears a resemblance.
We're a happy family, the funky dino.
Deep in the heart of Texas, a goofy-looking dinosaur skeleton has been unearthed, and it's got a funny head that makes it look like a dead ringer for Barney.
That's right, you can see the strange shape right there.
Sometimes life imitates art, I suppose.
Has a wide grinning smile and a large flat skull that sits on four squat legs.
Paleontologist Andre Lujan told the newspaper that he found the skeleton of the semi-aquatic ancient amphibian recently in Archer County, in a quarry that dates back to the Permian era, about over 280 million years ago.
But of course, their dating methods are always suspect.
The carbon dating is very unreliable.
It can be messed with.
Different rates of carbon decay are always...
If it's near a fire, it can completely mess with it.
There's all kinds of different issues there.
And then the way they date the layers is kind of circular in the way it goes about.
They date the layers by the fossils, and then they date the fossils by the layers.
So, you know, there's all kinds of different issues going on there.
It's circular logic, as I said.
Its skull shape suggests that it swallowed up its prey like an alligator or crocodile.
That's right, had a big, flat brim.
Lujan is in the catbird seat when it comes to dinosaurs.
Texas isn't just known for its rich deposit of oil and gas, but is a state lousy with the fossilized bones of ancient monsters, with more than 20 types of dinos found across the state.
Another park in Texas boasts more than 20 mammoth remains.
Helping, and this state is still revealing traces of its ancient past.
Earlier this year, college students were helping unearth the fragments of an Alamosaurus in Texas' Big Ben National Park.
That's right, Alamosaurus.
I guess the Alamosaurus got taken out by the Santa Ana Saurus.
Considered one of the largest dinosaurs to have roamed North America, the long-necked Alamosaurus could be as long as 100 feet and weigh in at a hefty 50 tons.
What a big boy he was.
The Alamosaurus.
Remember the Alamosaurus, folks.
Alright.
Well, we've been going for about an hour now, and I had a great time discussing Mecca Hitler.
I don't think it's anything to be taken too seriously.
The internet shouldn't be taken too seriously.
What happens on the internet should be treated as goofs and gaffes.
It should be for having fun.
Sadly, a lot of serious stuff happens there as well.
We're going to take a quick break, and we'll be right back.
Stay with us.
Liberty, it's your move.
And now, the David Knight Show.
Welcome back, folks.
As I said, I had a good time with that first segment.
I find the Mecha Hitler stuff amusing.
I think the panic over it is ridiculous.
Now we're going to move on to this.
This is from The Strategic Culture Foundation by Alastair Crook.
It was published yesterday.
The Land of Performance: Trump Wanted a Perfect War, a headline showstopper.
Depending on who you ask, the U.S. bombing of Iran's nuclear facilities in Ford Al, Natan's, and Isfahan was either a smashing success that severely crippled Tehran's nuclear program or a flashy show whose results were less than advertised.
In the grand scheme of things, all of this is just drama.
The big issue, second only to what next in Iran and how they might respond, says Michael Wolf, is how the MAGA is going to respond.
That's right, what is the base going to say?
And we've seen, of course, some splintering, some fracturing.
Some people are beginning to have questions.
And I think Trump is genuinely worried, Wolf emphasizes.
And I think he should be worried.
There are two fundamental things to this coalition, immigration and war.
Everything else is fungible, can be compromised.
It's not, though, it's not sure.
It's not sure those two elements can be compromised.
That's right, he ran on these two main issues.
We're going to deport a massive amount of illegal immigrants, which he has failed to deliver on.
He's deported less people than Obama, a liberal savior.
And of course, he ran on ending the war in Ukraine and stopping what's happening in Gaza, which he has completely failed on.
In fact, he has not just failed on them, he has continued to ship munitions and fund the conflicts.
The signal from Hegseth, we are not at war with the Iranian people, just its nuclear program clearly reflects a message being walked back in the face of the MAGA pushback.
That's right.
We're not at war with the Iranian people, just their nuclear program.
Isn't that wonderful?
We can take solace in that, knowing we're not at war with the people, we're just at war with their infrastructure.
We're not at war with Iraq, we're at war with terror.
You can wage wars indefinitely if you don't have an actual target, I suppose.
Pay no attention, we're not really doing war, is what Hegseth was trying to say.
It's not a real war, guys.
Come on.
Come on, don't get mad about it.
So what's next?
There are basically four things that can happen.
First, the Iranians can say, okay, we surrender.
But that's just not going to happen.
A second option is protracted war between Iran and Israel, with Israel continuing to be attacked in a way that has never been attacked before.
And thirdly, there is attempted regime change, although this has never been successfully achieved by air assault alone.
America has a long history of regime change.
It's already done one in Iran, as we've covered, Operation Ajax, where they got rid of the democratically elected Mosaddik and put in the Shah of Iran.
Historically, America's regime changes have been accompanied by mass slaughter, years of instability, terrorism, and chaos.
That's right.
We are such a benefit to the rest of the world.
Lastly, there's those who warn that nuclear Armageddon is on the table with the aim of destroying Iran.
That would be a case of self-harm since it likely would be Trump's Armageddon II at the midterm elections.
Because of course, as we've said, as everyone has said, Trump ran on being an anti-war president.
If he were to launch a nuclear strike against Iran, it would completely undermine that.
It would be the defining moment of his presidency.
And of course, after the immigration and the anti-war stance, one of his key things was Epstein.
So he has now defaulted on three of his promises.
We're going to deport people.
No, not really accomplished.
We're going to give a bunch of amnesty to people for their cheap labor.
Probably going to benefit Donald Trump with his hotels.
Well, we're not going to war.
We're not going to continue the wars.
I'm going to stop them.
Hasn't delivered on that.
Still ongoing, still funding, still sending weapons.
Well, you're going to get the Epstein files.
You're going to get the client list.
We're going to tell you who's involved.
Nope, move on.
Nothing to see here.
You're still talking about that.
Get real.
The presidency has failed to deliver on basically all of the things that got him elected.
Really makes you wonder how anyone in MAGA is still behind him.
I talk to people whom Trump has been speaking with on the phone.
I mean, all of Trump's internal thinking is external, and it's done in a series of his constant calls, and it's pretty easy to follow because he says the same thing to everybody.
So it's this constant round of repetition.
So basically, when the Israelis attacked Iran, he got very excited about this, and his calls were all repetitions of one theme.
Were they going to win?
Is this a winner?
Is this game over?
They, the Israelis, are so good.
This really is a showstopper.
So again, we're in the land of performance.
This is a stage, and the day before we attacked Iran, his calls were constantly repeating.
If we do this, it needs to be perfect.
It needs to be a win.
It has to look perfect.
Nobody dies.
How cynical.
How disgusting.
It needs to be a winner.
It has to look perfect.
It's got to be the showstopper.
I need a big climactic finish.
He really is just playing a character on TV.
It needs to be perfect.
The Israelis are so good.
Trump keeps saying to interlocutors, We go in, boom, out, big day.
We want a big day.
We want, wait for it, Wolf says.
A perfect war.
And then out of the blue, Trump announced a ceasefire, which Wolf suggests was Trump concluding his perfect war.
And so suddenly, with both Israel and Iran apparently cooperating with the staging of this perfect war headline, he gets annoyed that it doesn't run perfectly.
Well, that's because war is chaotic.
War is chaotic by nature.
Everyone has a perfect plan until they encounter The enemy.
Trump by then had already stepped into the role that this was his war, his perfect war.
Television drama at the highest level, war to create a headline.
The headline is We Won.
I'm in charge now, and everybody is going to do what I tell them.
What we saw subsequently was his frustration at the spoiling of an outstanding headline.
They're not doing what he tells them.
This was supposed to be my big moment.
You're not following the script.
Read the teleprompter.
Come on, get with the program.
This is supposed to be my moment.
Headlines have become, as it were, a sort of political dominance which can subsequently metamorphose into policy or not.
There's another fundamental point here.
The Israeli attack on Iran on the 13th of June was supposed to collapse Iran like a house of cards.
That is what Israel expected and what Trump clearly expected too.
Trump's phone calls on the eve of the Israeli surprise attack were all repetitions of one theme.
Were they going to win?
Is this a winner?
Is this game over?
The Israelis are so good.
This is really a showstopper.
Trump foresaw the possible collapse of the Iranian state.
How ridiculous How absurd for him to think, oh, this is going to be it.
They're going to strike and Iran is going to keel over.
It's going to collapse in on itself.
He doesn't understand anything.
He seems to really view everything as a series of TV episodes.
All plot lines wrapped up in a easily digestible 30 to 60 minutes.
24 hours to two weeks.
The strategic objective, the be all and end all of it was a bust.
The House of Cards did not implode.
Rather, it powerfully rebounded.
Instead of Iran being rendered weaker, the attack succeeded in firing up Shia and Iranian national identities.
It has ignited a largely dormant national fervor and passion.
Iran will be more resolute in the future.
It also gives them less reason to ever want to come to the table again.
Why would they trust that Israel or the United States actually means anything they say?
Yes, that's right.
We're going to negotiate with you.
Oh, but by the way, we're going to bomb you at the same time.
Israel is going to launch attacks that try to kill your chief negotiator.
Recall too, the second fundamentally important point is that Israel was attacked in a way that it has never been attacked before.
Israel still hides the extent of the damage inflicted by Iranian missiles, but even senior Israeli security watchers as they digest the incrementally exposed extent of damage done to Israel are drawing the bitter lesson that the Iranian program may not be able to be destroyed by military means, but only through a diplomatic agreement of some sort, if at all.
Regime change also has been revealed as a chimera.
Iran has never been as united and as steadfast as it is now.
The threat to kill the Supreme Leader also completely backfired.
Four Shia-leading religious authorities, Marjah Ayah, including the celebrated Grand Ayatollah Sistani in Iraq, have issued rulings that attack on the Supreme Leader would trigger a jihad fatwa, obligating all of the Umah, the community, to join with religious war on America and Israel.
It has united them.
It has made them...
Got comments.
North American House Hippo.
Well, thank you very much.
That is very kind.
Whenever Dave would play the Patriot and my wife and I were driving around, I would conduct my invisible orchestra.
My wife would scold me.
Well, you've got to conduct the orchestra.
You've got to get into it.
Thank you again.
North American House Hippo.
Another tip.
That is very kind.
Dave, get your hands back on the wheel.
You need to need them to drive.
You're not driving the streetcar anymore.
Well, every once in a while, you can...
You can't just sit there.
Sometimes you have to be involved.
It gets a little bit too excited, too hype.
Nights of the storm.
But can AI kiss the wall?
I don't know about that, Jason.
We'll have to get them a Jake the Rizbot body so it can go there and smooch their big, beautiful wall.
B.L. Houghton, Elon tweeted that Trump was in the Epstein files and that's why they weren't being released.
So Trump had to strike Iran as a diversion.
He does do that sort of thing.
Oops.
Something bad has happened.
We need a diversion.
Wag the dog.
Exactly.
I was just about to say that.
We got to wag the dog.
Tony Ty, 06, he said he would stop the Ukraine war in 24 hours after he took office.
That's the longest 24 hours I've ever seen.
That's right.
It's still ongoing.
We're just extending the length of an hour each day.
I'd also like to point out something that really annoys me about this last article here, just covering how he says he wants the perfect war where nobody dies, and in order to achieve this, he's going to bomb and blow up a bunch of people.
It's like they don't count in the nobody dies thing.
I assume he meant no Israelis and no Americans, because, as we all know, only Israelis and Americans are people.
They're the only ones worth consideration.
Thinking about Iranians as people, why would we do that?
They're not.
They're not people.
We don't have to think about them.
We don't have to consider them.
I'm going to bomb Iran on the assertion that they might be developing nuclear weapons, even though our intelligence community says the other one.
But yeah, don't worry, no one's going to die.
We're going to do this on the behest of Benjamin Netanyahu, has been saying that they're going to develop a nuclear weapon any day now for the past 30 years.
Benjamin Netanyahu and Massad have been claiming this for decades.
Hasn't materialized yet.
Donald Copperfield This is on Zero Hedge by Michael Michael Every of Rabbobank.
As I think I told you once before, said I, it is you who have been in your greed and cunning against all the world.
May be profitable to you to reflect in future that there never were greed and cunning in the world yet that did not do too much and overreach themselves.
It is as certain as death.
That's from David Copperfield By Charles Dickens.
There never were greed and cunning in the world yet that did not do too much and overreach themselves.
Who do we know that is like that?
Who is prone to overreaching?
Following the initial 14 trade letters that U.S. President Trump sent out yesterday significantly raising tariffs for the recipients, there was a pause.
However, Trump underlined that 1 August is indeed the deadline for new rates to kick in, which should allow goods to arrive ahead of time to ensure no price hikes by Christmas, says Axios, and at least seven trade announcements would be made this morning, U.S. time.
And of course...
I'm sure big pharma won't take advantage of that.
I'm sure they won't be raising prices.
On the former markets note that due to a serious mismatch between production of copper, feedstock, and smelting capacity, the U.S. relies on imports for around 50% of its refined copper, which it now clearly sees as a national security risk.
As such, while many past neo-mercantilists only tariffed value-added goods rather than raw materials, the U.S. wants to shift copper production and smelting back home as it does steel and aluminum.
And of course, we discussed how all of these things they want to bring back aren't things you can spool up, spin up overnight.
These facilities take months, to most likely multiple years, to get running, to build.
You can't just make it so by executive order.
You can't just, with the stroke of a pen, produce these facilities.
They actually have to be built.
On the latter, to say that there is a similar case for basic drugs to also be made in the U.S. just in case, is just common sense for anyone except markets.
Recall that these headlines are being seen as a Financial Times op-ed, says China, de facto control of all key global industrial production.
China's de facto control of all key global production via its chokehold on the processing of rare earths is a new kind of trade war.
The West had 15 years to plan for this kind of real politic trade shock.
Beijing can literally decide whose factories can work and whose can't.
The U.S. is now doing something on copper, steel, and aluminum, which is then mirrored by all those saying it's the wrong thing to do.
They're central planning the economy.
They're going to make it so from Washington.
And of course, central planning never works.
You don't have anyone that's smart enough to run everything.
You need people in different industries working people who understand the industry from within need to be the ones who are planning their own industry.
Trump, no one, as I said, can do it from a central location.
Not the smartest man on the planet, and definitely not Donald Trump.
Indeed, Trump just stated Russian President Putin's words are ultimately meaningless.
We got a lot of BS thrown at us.
As a result, the White House is weighing giving Ukraine another patriot system.
Isn't that wonderful?
Giving Ukraine another patriot system.
Still continuing to fund the wars.
Never going to end.
It doesn't matter how many Ukrainians die.
It doesn't matter to us Americans.
As I said, I've seen so many people callously say things like, fight to the last Ukrainian.
Which, of course, is very easy to say from America.
Very easy to say from your cozy house, from your couch as you tweet.
The key is for the audience to never know.
Because I have a plan B for every illusion.
That's a quote from David Copperfield.
And of course, that closely mirrors what Donald Trump does.
He's got a plan B. He'll always come up with a new distraction, some new ridiculous headline to distract you and take your focus away from whatever he just did.
Well, we're going to take a quick break.
And of course, we're going to be joined by Tony Arderburn at the bottom of the hour.
Join at 10.30, and then we're going to look at what's going on with the economy and what's going on with gold and silver.
And also, I'm very eager to hear his take on the Epstein files.
I'm sure that he's as I'm sure that he has some interesting takes on it.
Stay with us, folks.
We'll be right back.
You're listening to 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 Fed up.
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.

You're listening to The David Knight Show.
The David Knight Show
analyzing the globalist's next move.
And now, the David Knight Show.
Welcome back, folks.
And we were just sent an article by David Knight about how MAGA supporters, some of them anyway, are burning their MAGA caps.
MAGA hats burn as Trump faces major backlash from his own supporters.
Oh, look, it's Nick Fuentes, our glorious cat boy emperor.
Donald Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi have come under fire for long teasing the far right with massive revelations about the Epstein case before announcing nothing was to come of it.
That's right.
A big nothing.
Don't worry about it.
Move along.
MAGA loyalists are calling for the burning of the iconic MAGA cap as anger over the Epstein files grows, even among Donald Trump's own supporter base.
The Justice Department claimed on Monday that Jeffrey Epstein did not maintain a client list and said no more files related to the wealthy financier's sex trafficking investigation would be made public.
This was despite promises from Attorney General Pam Bondi that had raised the expectations of conservative influencers and conspiracy theorists.
That's right.
You're a conspiracy theorist if you think there was anything going on with Jeffrey Epstein.
And you can see the charred caps there.
Oh, look, another favorite photo of good old Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, along with Melania and Ghislaine Maxwell.
That's why you're not getting the Epstein files, folks.
Remember, as B.L. Houghton pointed out, Elon tweeted that Donald Trump was in them.
And of course, now they're not showing up.
It really makes you wonder, doesn't it?
It really makes you wonder how MAGA ever thought that they were going to be released.
And of course, even what they did release only led to more questions.
The footage that they released, 10 hours of, or 11 hours of, I've seen two different people, or two different reports, whether it was 10 or 11.
Not that much of a difference.
But it's missing a full minute.
And the video doesn't really show much at all.
You're barely able to see anything.
Nothing to see here.
Move along.
This is from RT.
Missing minute in Epstein jail video fuels speculation.
The 11-hour surveillance video recorded near Jeffrey Epstein's jail cell contained a minute-long gap.
And of course, as I have said, there was an interview that Cash Patel did with Joe Rogan where he said, we want to make sure we get this right.
So before we release anything, we've got to have it all in order.
We don't want there to be, you know, four seconds of missing footage or anything like that where people can point to it and say, hey, what happened there?
Good job, Cash.
There wasn't four seconds of missing footage.
There's an entire minute of missing footage.
He said he didn't want four seconds because that would have been way too short for someone to go in and out.
They wanted a full 60 seconds of missing footage.
Exactly.
Thank you, Cash.
Very cool.
But don't worry.
We're going to figure out exactly what's going on.
We have Sherlock Trump on the case.
There, for our listeners, I'll give you a brief description.
Trump is wearing a MAGA Sherlock Holmes cap, and he's playing the violin.
Now keep burning those documents Pam gave us.
Boss, I don't know how the Atlantic got a hold of this footage because Cash had it scrubbed, but they got the missing minute.
You are not going to be happy.
This is Pete Hegseth putting a VHS in.
Coming right out of his cell with a rope.
Maybe I had just gone climbing?
Boss, the rope is pretty incriminating.
What?
You've never played Clue?
And I think you are eating a McDonald's hamburger.
Maybe all the climbing made me hungry.
I didn't know you knew how to lasso.
Yvanka rode the horses, and I spent a lot of time in that barn.
Is that a I killed a guy happy dance?
No, my catheter was clogged, so I was shaking it clear.
Really hate that sad loser, Mr. Neuberger.
Who me?
That's a pretty good AI video right there.
That's one of the more entertaining uses for AI.
That's right.
Wonder why you'll never see that missing minute.
At this point, even if they were to release it, it wouldn't mean anything because it would only fuel more speculation.
Oh, what did they do during the time that they released the 10 hours?
What did they do to that one minute?
It's too late now.
They've ruined all credibility forever.
It doesn't matter what they release at this point.
The question will always be, why did they delay?
What were they covering up?
What were they destroying?
Some have claimed that the late financier and registered sex offender could have been murdered.
That's right.
Some people have claimed that.
Some people have said he could have been.
Comment from dad about Sherlock Trump.
He lives at 47D Faker Street.
That's right, Faker Street.
I found you, Faker.
Possibly by wealthy and powerful people.
He supplied with underage girls.
Possibly by wealthy and powerful people.
On Monday, the DOJ and FBI released a two-page memo on the Epstein affair along with the surveillance footage.
The video offered only a partial view of a stairwell leading to Epstein's confinement in the prison's special housing unit rather than the cell itself.
The footage abruptly skips from 1158 PM on August 9th to 12 o'clock AM on August 10th.
The review concluded that no client list of Epstein's pedophile ring ever existed and found no evidence of blackmail.
Nope, nothing to see here.
Didn't find anything.
There were no grounds to investigate uncharged third parties, the memo stated.
We found nothing, there was nothing to see.
Sorry for making you wait so long.
If there was nothing, it would have been obvious from the start.
It would have just been easy for them to say from the beginning, no, sorry, there's nothing.
They wouldn't have had to drag it out this long.
The findings contradicted previous statements by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, who had claimed the client list was sitting on her desk.
While the FBI had turned over a truckload of materials, she also accused the previous administration of hiding evidence.
During government meeting on Tuesday, Bondi denied that the gap in the security footage was suspicious.
No, it's not suspicious.
It's suspicious that you think it's suspicious.
Very suspicious of you to say that it's suspicious.
She appeared to walk back her earlier remarks about the client list, saying she was referring only to some files related to the Epstein case.
There's a minute that was off the counter.
What we learned from the Bureau of Prisons is every night they redo that video.
Every night the video is reset and every night should have the same minute missing.
Who believes that?
Who is going to just buy that?
Oh yeah, sure, that makes sense.
I mean, even if that were true, which I highly, highly doubt, that doesn't change anything.
Like, if they know the cameras are going to be down at this minute every day, then that is a huge opportunity.
Like, releasing this footage with a missing minute is pointless, even if it were missing for innocuous reasons.
Yes.
This is the part where if this was some Hollywood movie and they were planning the assassination, they'd be sitting around saying, well, we know every night they reset the footage and there's a window where for 60 seconds the tapes don't work, where the cameras go down.
You've got 60 seconds to get in and get out.
Not that it's that complicated, of course.
It's take however long you want.
We'll just scrub it later.
Yeah.
This could be the new ocean's whatever they're on movie.
Journalist Tucker Carlson described the Epstein memo as a cover-up after it was released.
No one is believing the Epstein cover-up, President.
Trump, this will be part of your legacy.
There's still time to change it.
Is there?
Because I think the main part of his legacy is the poisoning of millions of people with the jabs.
I think that's a bigger issue.
That's what he should really be remembered for.
This is from WorldNet Daily, authored by Joe Kovacs.
We're not that effing stupid.
Epstein rape victim goes scorched earth on liar Trump.
A former model who said she was raped at least three times a day on Jeffrey Epstein's private island is now going scorched earth on President Donald Trump after his Justice Department this week reneged on its pledge to release files, including names, fight logs, and co-conspirators of the convicted pedophile.
Juliet Bryant of South Africa targeted Trump by name the same day.
The president blasted a reporter for asking questions about this creep Epstein.
Of course, we played this, but I'll play it briefly again.
This is the victim.
Raped repeatedly.
I was raped three times a day, sometimes.
And I was not the only girl on that island.
There was a constant stream of girls being raped over and over and over again.
And yes, Ghilane must die in prison because I've been in hell and back for the last 17 years.
In 27 for me.
I was 10 years old when Liz Stein was being trafficked.
I was 10.
That is how long the sex trafficking ring has been going on.
This is what is being covered up.
No one was involved.
Nothing to see here.
Got some comments.
Guard Goldsmith says, I'm going to start a show called The Missing Minutes.
I think that would be good.
Maybe you could have Donald Trump and Richard Nixon talking to each other about their issues with missing minutes.
Sabbath, 1974.
By the way, let's not forget Epstein was also entangled with Bill Gates and bioweapon crimes against humanity.
That's right.
It's all this incestuous, weird entangling.
They're all working together.
Our guest, Tony Ardeburn, is ready, so we're going to take a quick break.
And when we come back, we'll be joined by Tony.
And of course, Tony has kindly set up DavidKnight.gold.
So if you'd like to start accumulating some gold or silver, you can go there.
He has set up Wolfpack, which is a subscription service, and you can accumulate gold and or silver on a monthly basis.
Stay with us, folks.
We'll be right back.
PIANO PLAYS
You're listening to the David Knight Show.
Welcome back, folks.
And joining us now is Tony Arderburn of WiseWolf.gold.
And as I said, he set up DavidKnight.gold.
So if you'd like to start getting some gold or silver of your own, you can go through that.
Thank you for joining us, Tony.
It's great to be back, Travis.
Good to see you.
Good to see you, too.
Always a pleasure to have you on the show.
We've got a comment here from Angry Tiger.
And of course, Angry Tiger does a lot of great analysis of what's going on with the economy.
Well, everyone is watching Epstein Nonsense.
They have built a national police force, and the IMF is talking about restructuring our national debt.
Epstein is a great distraction from the economy.
Well, I mean, it's been what everyone has been focused on for years.
And I think this actually generated more controversy than if they had released the client list.
If they had released the client list, people would have said, yeah, it makes sense.
That person was definitely going to be on the list.
But now that they didn't, it generates more outrage.
It gets people more riled up, I think.
It's definitely an IQ test at this point.
I've already seen some commentators who are going to die on this hill that say this is another play that Trump's making that they're going to leverage the Epstein files.
I've seen this, and I just can't anymore with these people.
It's been so much.
And we reached this point.
And you're right.
The files and even the foreign policy right now is all a distraction from the bigger picture of what's really going on, the macro level of the world economy, which I think is going to have massive implications on our life here in this country.
And I mean, history is happening at a rapid rate, but those aren't the headlines, Travis.
We do need to talk about the Epstein files or lack thereof or whatever this is, because it does completely expose the political game as hollow and what you should truly be focusing on right now.
Because some things are out of your hands.
This certainly is the left-right paradigm is out of your hands at this point.
Washington is gone.
I mean, there's nothing.
There's no, at least at this point in history, the way that it works, the system itself, it's a cog.
It's a continuity of government and a continuity of corruption.
And that's what we're seeing.
I'm not totally surprised at all.
If you know, I mean, your dad's been covering this since day one, going back to revelations about Bill Barr's dad.
Bill Barr, his dad, had hired Jeffrey Epstein.
And then Bill Barr just happened to be the attorney general that was presiding over his arrest and then incarceration and then quote unquote suicide, missing men that are not, you know, his murder in federal prison.
And you got to wonder, like, what's that connection?
You know, all of this, and I remember I've told this story before, but I remember right after he was killed, I was running a gold and silver shop in San Antonio.
It was my first wise wolf location.
And right behind it were some really affluent houses.
It was a kind of a mixed part of town.
But there was some, you know, some wealthy folks in the back of the property.
And this lady came in.
She's probably 60s and a very nice looking older lady and it was really nice.
And then she had this big bag of jewelry.
And it was very expensive stuff.
And she was wanting me to give her a bid on it.
And there was just lots of it.
I spent like, you know, three hours with her.
And she was watching the television.
I had Fox News Business on, and they were talking about Jeffrey Epstein.
And she said, you know, I lived next door to Jeffrey when I lived in New York.
She said, and she said, he was a really nice man, very strange.
She says, very nice, but very strange.
And she said, I saw something one day that I've never forgotten.
She said, I went into his home or his apartment, and I forget what the reason was for, but she said, I was walking around and I noticed in his closet, he had all the same outfits in a row.
It was like he's a character.
And there were just the same outfits hung up.
She's like, I've never forgotten that.
And then all the news about him, you know, it just made me remember how strange that was.
This must have been back in the 80s.
I forgot that because I think a lot of these people, if you look at him, and nobody even talks, by the way, nobody brings up the fact that Steve Bannon did an in-depth sit-down interview with Jeffrey Epstein in like right before his arrest in 2018.
And I don't know why it's not released.
I've seen clips of it, but there's just all of these power players and characters, they are like a construct in so many ways.
They play a part.
And we're all just like, you know, figure trying to figure out this puzzle piece.
But then you just see where it hits the wall when it gets to the upper echelon of so-called power.
And that's why I think it's a losing game to play politics.
These are warning signs and these are opportunities for you to figure out a better way for your own life.
Like not emotionally investing or spiritually investing in any of these people.
And then this political game, especially at the national level.
I think it's an opportunity for you to just reset and say, well, this is where we are.
This is where I am.
It's kind of like when you were a kid and you go to the mall and they have the map and it's like, you're standing right here.
Well, this is a better, I think, indicator.
This is an opportunity to reset your viewpoints and the way that you set your goals for what's next.
Because it doesn't look good.
It doesn't look like we're going to have the burning of the MAGA hats.
I think there will be no way that it recovers after this.
I mean, whatever, I thought that it was the high watermark of MAGA was probably Tucker Carlson sitting down with Ted Cruz and that continuity of things.
I think that was a big moment.
And then this coupled with that, I just know going back, whatever this is moving forward, whatever MAGA was, I think has been hollowed out.
Yeah, it's always been funny to me that so many people within the MAGA movement deeply understand the issues with Israel having so much influence over our government.
They see it and they call it out, but they don't ever call out Donald Trump for it.
They have no issue with him going to Israel and kissing the wall.
They're like, oh, he's going to fix the government.
And then in the next tweet, they'll complain about how Israel has an undue amount of influence within our government.
It's been this continual dissonance with the MAGA movement.
And as you said, I think this Epstein debacle may have finally, fully awakened some of them.
I'm sure some of them are diehard.
No matter what happens, Trump is their guy.
Whatever reason they have invested fully in him, they're holding.
They've got diamond hands when it comes to Donald Trump.
But I think a lot of people are selling their, you know, so to say, Trump coin right now.
They're dropping the stock.
And it's just, it's amazing that it has taken this long, that so many people took this level of in their face, just ridiculous cover-up for them to come to this conclusion.
So many, again, they understood about the issues with Israel.
They understood that, and they understood that the vaccine was bad.
They understood that it was poisoning people.
But for some reason, we're so unwilling to lay it at the feet of Donald Trump, to point out that it was him that did this, that he was the one that did the lockdowns.
He was the one that gave us warp speed.
He put Fauci in charge and said, do whatever, basically.
And they have refused to admit that.
They have refused to lay this at his feet.
But finally, some of them are looking at it saying, nope, Jeffrey Epstein is too much.
It's too far.
It's too obvious.
And it's a little bit hopeful, as you said, that maybe this will be a reset.
Maybe this will help them to understand, like you said, we don't put our hope in politicians.
We don't put all our eggs in this basket of we're going to send somebody to Washington and they're going to drain the swamp.
We're going to fix it from there.
No politician is going to do that for you.
That's not how this works.
We don't have our hope in politicians.
This is about more than that.
You need to be able to build your own personal community.
You need to work locally with the people you know to try to.
What's that quote from Lincoln, Travis, where you can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time.
And it had to get pretty bad.
I think future historians will have a field day with the mental projections of this political movement that we've seen in the last 10 years.
I think it's remarkable.
And then we reached this point where it had to be so over the top.
And I think there's more to come.
I think there's more.
You know, your dad talked about it a lot as President Trump with the bump stop ban after what happened in Vegas with Steven Paddock.
We never found out about that, by the way.
Talking about missing minutes.
That's like an entire missing taken out of history.
They just airbrushed it out.
It never happened.
Honestly, that's one of the ones I forget about at this point because it has been memory hold.
It's never mentioned.
No one ever brings it up.
Even these people that are so die-hard about gun control that want to get rid of every gun from everyone's hands.
They don't ever mention it.
They go to the, you know, whichever school shooting is most recent or whichever one is most prominent in their own minds.
But the Steven Paddock shooting never, as you said, it never gets mentioned.
It just disappeared.
It vanished.
It evaporated.
They made some points about it, and people looked at it and goes, that's weird.
And they went, oh, you know what?
Never mind.
It's one of those bizarre things.
And so much of that has happened.
We have been inundated.
We've been under assault for the past six, seven years.
You can't keep up with this news cycle.
I remember when I started out in radio 12 years ago, it was, you know, you get a couple of headlines, bring in a paper, bring in a magazine, and then you've lost connection.
You have an hour.
Like I do my show every Thursday.
I do an hour.
I have to really refine what I'm going to talk about.
It has to be broken down or because no way I can cover everything that's relevant or actually going on.
You're just getting hit.
And things are going to change every single week.
And that's on purpose, you know, and it's part of cyclical history.
It's part of the fourth turning as I'm understanding more and more about how that feels to live through, you know, because institutions going, you know, things that you took for granted passing away rapidly and being changed into something else and morphing.
So here's a headline that my wheelhouse that should be bigger than the Epstein files, and that is that the dollar just had its worst year on record ever.
So the dollar's not doing well.
And I don't know, you don't have to be a genius or some kind of seer or a mystic to figure that out.
You can just look at the numbers and the de-dollarization that's going on.
But those are the big headlines.
And that's why I do what I do.
I can get into this world and I understand enough to be dangerous and talk about.
But where I get back to is the big macro picture and what's happening economically worldwide and literally at war right now.
I mean, these nation states are at war with each other.
Like the BRICS nations, there's enough, the BRICS coalition now, Travis, encompasses more than 50% of the Earth's population and more than 40% of its GDP.
And they're just getting started.
So, you know, and what's, you know, the Trump administration saying, coming after them saying, you know, we're going to tariff you.
He's sending out letters for new tariffs and threats on any countries that de-dollarize.
Well, their countries are already de-dollarizing, and those threats are falling.
They're landing on deaf ears.
They're already moving away.
And we're showing nothing but incompetence.
And trust is the bedrock of the world economy, of any true economy.
And we don't have that.
We've lost that.
And so what's next?
That's the questions you should be asking right now.
Yeah.
As you pointed out with BRICS encompassing over 50% of the world's population, there was a time when America wielded enough financial and military power that even if you had 50% of the world backing you, it might still be worth your while to appease America instead.
You might look at it and go, all right, even with this kind of coalition, it's probably still not worth it to drop the dollar and go with them.
America just wields too much financial, institutional, military power.
But those days are gone.
We're not the same nation we were even 10, 20 years ago.
Things have gone cuckoo.
The dollar is plummeting.
People realize that America is more of a paper tiger than it's ever been.
We can't afford these policies anymore.
And they're free to jump ship.
We can't afford to bully people the way we have.
We're still trying to, but they're looking at it going, I'll call that bluff.
I think I'm going with the 50% of the world population.
It's reached a point where this swaggering, bullying foreign policy doesn't work for us anymore.
It's not as effective as it used to be.
It was always immoral and unethical and a bad policy from a global PR standpoint, just from a Machiavellian, well, people aren't going to like us.
But now it is just ineffectual as well.
It doesn't work at this point.
And it seems that Donald Trump hasn't gotten that memo.
He still thinks, you know, this is the, you know, post-World War II era where America is kind of the only superpower on the board at the moment.
And it's, I don't know, it's amazing to see how out of touch he is and how out of touch his followers are.
I'm going to slap these tariffs on and you're going to do what I say.
They don't have to anymore.
There's an entire planet that they can trade with, that they can deal with.
You're not the only game in town anymore, Donnie.
And it's just, he acts as if everyone has to come groveling back, as if they don't have any other options.
And it's just baffling.
Well, they're making those options right now.
And this is end-stage empire.
The energy's not here.
And that's sad to say, because I love my country, but the energy is not here.
You look elsewhere for innovation leading the way, new payment systems, leaving the fiat experiment.
It's global.
And there are some innovators here in the U.S., but this is not where the, I don't think the bulk of the energy lies.
And you can feel that.
As an entrepreneur, you can feel that energy slipping away.
And just because you look at the trust, that's the issue.
It's the trust.
You look around, you look at what's happening.
I mean, we're a laughingstock.
You know, our government and those who run it, you don't really see who that is, but it's.
If you were to ever find the Epstein list, you might get a good idea, though.
Oh, right.
I thought it was funny a few weeks ago.
Sam Tripoli tweeted out.
He was like, I finally get to see the Epstein client list.
It's whoever supports this whole program.
We can just start making some correlations.
Definitely correlations there.
But yeah, that's another thing is trust everywhere is eroding.
So just the Epstein files or lack thereof is another indication of lack of trust.
And the global economy, it seeks, like water seeks a level, it has to seek a level of foundational trust in order to perform.
And that's why gold has done so well and will continue to do well.
It's why Bitcoin just had another all-time high, hit $112,000 or so.
And that will continue to be a trend.
It won't go up to the right forever.
Gold will probably pull back a little bit too and then reset.
But it's funny, people always want to know price, and it's against fiat currency.
So, I mean, fiat currency has no bottom, and hard assets have no top when it comes to infinite paper.
And supposedly the global economy is 900 trillion, whatever it is.
I looked at different metrics.
Some people have different, you know, it's off by hundreds of trillions, but it's between $500 and $900 trillion, whatever it's supposed to be.
Gold's market cap is $20 trillion.
And Bitcoin's market cap is about $2.
So a lot of room to grow.
And silver's is about $1.4, $1.5, something like that, trillion out of a global economy of supposedly $900 trillion.
So I think these are, in my business and what I do, I'm selling finite resources, sound money, hard assets in a fiat world.
So I can sleep at night.
And you look at the global economy and what things are important to the political pundits and the financial teleprompter readers.
I think hopefully, God will, I'll be on the right side of history.
And what we discuss every week has importance.
I think it does because the true headlines and the alarm bells that should be going off in the night aren't in the mainstream.
And you should, I don't think, be alarmed.
I'm definitely not bringing doom and gloom.
I think there's lots of opportunity here to understand.
You know, Wise Wolf, we've been in the precious metals game for coming up on over seven years.
And before that, I was part of some of the first Bitcoin ATMs in America.
And that's, you know, Bitcoin helped create Wise Wolf Gold and Silver.
And they both work together now.
I have Wise Wolf Bitcoin.
And I was thinking the other day I was reading just food for thought because we get so used to putting numbers up, Travis, where you're looking at what the price does.
And, you know, where is it going to go?
Is it going to go higher?
I always hear that a lot, especially with precious metals.
But, you know, there's only about 16 million available Bitcoin in the world or will ever be.
There's 21 million in the system, but about 5 million of those are lost.
Or you have to account for Satoshi's wallet.
If you look at the metrics, though, there's 22 million millionaires in the U.S. In the world, there's 58 million millionaires.
So out of all those people, not all of them can own just one Bitcoin.
That's how finite Bitcoin is.
If every millionaire in the U.S. just wanted to own one Bitcoin, they can't.
There's just not enough.
Somebody will get the line.
You can own some.
I mean, anybody can own, you can own $5 worth of Bitcoin.
There's 100 million Satoshis in each Bitcoin.
It's divisible by 100 million.
Because it was meant to be a payment system, not necessarily digital gold.
We're seeing, I think, whatever Bitcoin story is still unraveling.
And it's happening in a, I think, two diametrically opposed ideas, which is fiat is infinite and these things are finite.
And they're clashing in a world of uncertainty and doubt and other things and fear.
That infinite paper is a lot less attractive in those environments where the trust lacks and fear reigns.
So I don't know.
I'm still betting on the finite.
I'm still betting on the scarce resource strategy.
Yeah.
At minimum, getting out of the dollar is not a bad idea.
However you want to do it, whether it's gold, silver, Bitcoin, some other insane crypto might even be worth it.
Or if you want to buy copper or if you want to buy bullets or anything else, storing your value just so long as it's not in the American dollar will probably do better for you long term.
The American dollar is on a downward trajectory and has been for a long time.
The policies they put in place, even though they were able to prop up the dollar and keep it strong, meant that eventually it was always going to come to this.
It's one of those things where just looking at the long-term view of things, the dollar, as you said, fiat always goes to zero.
And that's what the American dollar is.
It's fiat.
And it always goes to zero.
It will eventually end up that way.
That's how this always plays out.
We've got some great comments here, starting with Gard Goldsmith, referencing what you said about Abraham Lincoln and you can fool some of the people all the time, all the people some of the time.
He says, if it's Congress, you can people it with fools all of the time.
That's right.
You can keep Congress filled up with nothing but fools continually.
Angry Tiger says the dollar has been below support level for over 70 days.
It's not looking good for the American dollar.
And yes, some of it is important, but they will do anything to keep you distracted from what the real news actually is.
Yes.
And they always seem to wait.
I'm very curious as to if there's anything specific that caused them to release the Jeffrey Epstein news now.
Was it Iran?
Was it the economy?
What do they look At and say, all right, now's the time to burst that bubble.
You know, because they don't do things willy-nilly, they don't do things haphazardly.
They look at things very carefully.
North American House Hippo says, as David often says, MAGA hates the spending, hates the masks, hates the lockdowns, hates the vax, but loves the man who did it to them.
That's right.
For some reason, he's the avatar of all these things.
He's the one that brought them into fruition.
But they're incapable of going, huh, who did this?
Real Jason Barker, wait till MAGA goes to sell their commemorative Trump gold coins and find out they're plated lead.
Whoops.
Guess it wasn't such a bite.
It's like a cult.
I mean, it's so funny that no matter what, you know, like you have to, they have those people that deprogrammed, you know, like after being wrapped up and having your mind, especially if you get into the work, you know, the psychological operations of things like QAnon.
And you get around some of those people, and I have, and it's just sad.
I got to get away from them as fast as possible.
I'm sorry.
I can't do it.
Like, they'll come by my shop or I'll meet them in person and then they'll start into, you know, whatever.
And I've been interviewed by them.
I don't even know.
I don't have a frame of reference for that mass kind of psychosis in my lifetime.
I haven't seen it like I've seen with that.
And it is really, really strange.
Yeah, no.
Like you said, it's just, what do you even compare that to?
I've been off Twitter for a long time, but every once in a while I'll poke back around, see what people are saying.
And there's still people on there that are deep in the Q trenches.
They're still just locked in on this belief that everything is going according to plan.
Don't worry, guys.
The Patriots are in control.
They've rounded up all the pedophiles.
They've got them locked up in Guantanamo Bay.
You can trust the plan.
It's happening.
And they'll parrot these insane tweets, these obviously fake nonsense stories that they never come true, but they'll find some new way to reinterpret them that matches whatever is currently happening.
Oh, what he really meant was this.
And when I look at it from just this right angle, and when you take the numbers, the number of letters that are in this tweet, and you multiply it by this number, it just becomes insane.
They're always reframing and recontextualizing everything so they don't have to look at their position and go, maybe I went a little crazy, guys.
Maybe I need to step back and reassess my position.
And like you said, there's just no frame of reference for this.
I've never seen anything like it in my lifetime.
And it's just, what can you even say to these people?
It's disturbing and sad.
You got to pray for them.
They're definitely going to be way behind the curve to take on what's next and to adapt because we're in this changing bend in the river of history.
We're going to have to be ready for.
I hope I'm ready and I'm trying to understand the nature of reality better and better and not just what I want it to be, but what it is.
So I can do what God wants me to do.
And that's just adapt and figure out how to live in it and be an example to the best of my ability.
It's tough because there's just so much mental illness associated with our politics now.
And why they did it, I don't know.
Got to be some reason.
It's something to cover something else up, to make people talk about something else.
Who knows?
And it may be a signal to those who were on it.
You know, there may be a signal there saying, we're good.
You know, you don't have to worry about it.
We'll just onward and upward.
Keep doing what you do.
Or onward and downward, wherever you're going.
The handbasket's comfy and it's getting nice and toasty in here.
Yes.
Guard Goldsmith says, I want to make a mock Fauci medallion tested 100% gold via PCR.
8 trillion cycles that detected a bit of AU.
That'll be great.
Don't worry, there's at least one little particle in there.
It's trustworthy.
You can believe it.
PCR proves it.
Real Jason Barker, paper is not infinite when you consider value.
All new paper dilutes old paper.
It's wealth transfer from fiat holders to the government.
That's right.
They're continually finding new ways to steal the value, whether they're directly confiscating your money or just making it worthless.
It's truly incredible just how dedicated the American government is and these globalist entities are to impoverishing the American people.
Truly.
SoloCat 1980 says, the diehard Trump cult members are the most prideful, too proud to face the fact they were duped, too weak to repent.
And that's why, as Tony said, you just got to pray for these people.
There comes a point where you realize there's no magical sequence or string of words that you can say to someone that's going to break them out of this.
They didn't reason themselves into the position, and you can't reason them out of it.
You just have to pray for them and pray that God shows mercy upon them and shows mercy upon us.
North American House Hippo, less than half the world's trade now uses the dollar, but MAGA, neocons, Ziocons can't do the math.
When the government can't have trillions of petty, pretty little pieces of paper printed up.
That's right.
You physically cannot print the amount of paper that it would take to represent what they say, you know, the number of dollars that they're out there.
You just, even if you were to run the presses non-stop, constantly, forever, you just would not be able to catch up with what they need.
Yeah, you could take a trillion $1 bills and they can't print that.
But if you did, you turn them, you make them stand end to end and you can stretch to the sun.
They'll go 93 million miles.
Yeah, these are numbers that are not, can't truly tackle the fiscal problem that we've got in some sense.
It's not doable.
You have to reset the mechanism.
And I think that's what they're doing.
I mean, ultimately, they're going to play this game until Everybody's got their golden parachutes.
And if you're not paying attention to how the game is played, then you'll be left holding some really bad stuff.
And this is, they want you to hold that fiat till the end.
And the rich don't hoard cash, and they haven't through history.
Only like cartels and dictators have pallets full of $100 bills.
That's like the minority of the minority.
The truly wealthy don't do that.
They have assets.
It's a gala game to acquire more assets, like a game of monopoly or something.
That's what it is.
And they use debt and other instruments that you're taught not to be able to use.
You use debt to, regular people are taught to use debt to buy toys and things, things you don't necessarily need, a new boat or a jet ski or something.
But the rich leverage debt for assets and they borrow against that and that's tax-free.
And that's how they stay in that loop.
And that's why the super uber wealthy don't fight for lower taxes because they don't really want you to compete with them.
And they don't want that competition.
They just rather have a certain class.
And there's like two classes, you know, the haves and the have-nots.
And that's, unfortunately, that's the way it works.
Not all of them.
I mean, some people at those levels want free markets and other things, but it's not the norm.
I know I do.
I want free markets and competition and other things.
Monopolies, those stem from government regulation and the close tie of the wealthy to the lawmakers, unfortunately.
That's not laissez-faire capitalism.
But what we're watching now is this is the end of crony capitalism.
Like whatever that is.
And it's phase, there'll be another phase of it, but they're figuring out that out.
That's what the great reset is.
Yeah, and with the push for the technocracy, it's going to make it even easier for these systems to interface with each other, getting these large mega corporations tied directly into the government with their personal AIs.
I'm sure we'll be seeing some truly horrific legislation that is directly meant to just benefit them.
They're not even going to have to hide it in the future.
Ron Helton 1, need a mix of assets in the coming World Depression.
Strong family ties.
That's right.
You need strong family ties, strong community ties.
Ron Helton 1, lost my Bitcoin in a boating accident, along with all my firearms.
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, Ron Helton 1.
That's truly tragic.
I'm so sorry that happened to you.
The seas were rough and choppy.
They just all went overboard.
Don't frag me, bro.
It is easier to remain deceived.
I lost mine in the same lake.
Exactly.
There's just so much Bitcoin, so much gold, so many guns at the bottom of these lakes.
It's hard to believe how many of us have lost all of them.
One day we'll dredge it and we'll pull them all out.
It is easier to remain deceived than it is to admit having been deceived, says Don't Frag Me, bro.
It's a huge blow to your ego to admit that you got something wrong.
It's very hard to look yourself in the mirror and go, you know what?
I messed up this time.
I didn't get it right.
But it's something we all have to do from time to time.
It's something that it's difficult, it's humbling, but it's important to be able to have that skill, that humility.
We're all human.
We're all fallible.
We all make mistakes.
That's the truth of it.
No one is perfect except for Jesus Christ.
And so it's just part of life.
KWD 68, print a $100 trillion note, put Trump on it.
Best bill ever.
Don't pay off the debt with it.
Just give it to other countries.
That's right.
We just need a $100 trillion Trump note, and all our problems are solved.
There we go.
KWD 68 solved it for us, Tony.
We don't have any more problems.
Just a $100 trillion Trump note.
It worked out so well for Zimbabwe.
That's all we need to do.
I like the coin, the idea of the trillion-dollar platinum coin.
We just make them direct from the treasury, give it to the Fed, put it on the books.
Exactly.
It's a simple solution.
It's elegant in its simplicity.
I wonder why no one's thought of this before.
But all right, I know that we're a little bit over time.
And Tony, you've got your own program.
Will that be coming up after this?
Are you able to do that today?
Yeah, so Arterburn Radio Transmission will be live on the America Unplugged channel over on Rumble.
Join us over there and on my ex at Tony Arterburn live at 12 Eastern, 11 a.m. Central Time.
And I'll be going over a lot of the stuff we talked about today, a little few articles that we didn't.
And I hope everybody can join.
Fantastic.
And as before, once the show is over, we will raid your channel on Rumble, pass the viewers over.
So you guys can stay here and be passed directly on to Tony if you want.
But again, thank you, Tony.
We really appreciate you coming on the show.
Appreciate your insight and analysis and what's going on with the world economy.
And again, we thank you for setting up DavidKnight.gold.
If the viewers or listeners would like to get their own gold and silver, get outside the fiat economy, start stacking some real assets, that's a great way to do it.
You also have WolfPack, which of course is the subscription model where they can sign up and get shipped gold or silver on a monthly basis.
So thank you again, Tony.
It's always a pleasure.
Thank you so much, Travis.
We actually have a program right now.
If you've been a member of Wolfpack and you've been thinking about coming back, we're offering some free silver with the promo code backpack.
So a lot of people had to drop off for financial reasons or whatever.
And we certainly understand that.
Maybe come back at a lower tier if you want to say.
But the more people that join, the better deals I can get everybody.
So we're holding steady, fighting for each membership right now and just keeping that pool together.
And we've got some great deals.
Right now in the Lone Wolves, I've got pre-1935 silver piece dollars that are in great.
Actually, they're probably like AU or BU condition.
And I'm giving those out in the Lone Wolves along with other stuff.
There's a gold back, and I think we have a 10th ounce silver piece in there.
So a great $50 package, nobody's able to do that right now.
I bought like 200 or so of those piece dollars, and I'm passing those on to the lowest tier.
I didn't send them to the highest tier.
I gave them to the lowest one.
So they're probably saving around $10 a piece on those, maybe more because of their condition.
So we're happy to do stuff like that.
So yeah, promo code backpack.
Go to davidknight.gold and Hit join wolf back there on the tab.
Well, that's awesome.
Thank you again, Tony.
I appreciate it.
Of course, I like silver because not only is it a hard asset, but you're prepared in case of a werewolf apocalypse as well.
It's multi-use.
You never know what might be coming down the pipeline.
All right, we're going to take a quick break, and then we'll be back with more news.
Thank you.
Thank you.
You're listening to the David Knight Show.
Unlike most revolutions where the people rise against a real economic oppression, in our case here in Boston, we are fighting for purely an abstract principle.
It is, however, not nearly so abstract as the young gentleman supposes.
The issue involved here is one of monopoly.
Hey!
Today, the British government will monopolize the sale of tea in our country.
I see North American House Hippo over here has a good comment.
It's only a matter of time before Disney reimagines Johnny Tremaine.
Johnny will be a tranny and a girl and a Marxist.
Yeah, I'm sure that's coming.
Disney can't help but reimagine things.
Actually, I'd be surprised if they ever mention the American Revolution again.
I'm sure if they do, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson All of them will be portrayed as evil white racists.
That's the only way they would ever be able to get that green lighted.
Can't have any positive mentions of American history.
North American Outside, but it won't be much longer before quadrillion is the new trillion, just like Trillion is the new billion right now.
That's right.
Quadrillion.
The sad part is you're probably not wrong.
We are reaching a point where Trillion just won't cut it anymore.
Shadowboxer, monopolies are the end goal of lobbyists.
That's right.
You don't send someone to Washington to lobby unless you're getting something out of it.
Your end goal is to make a lot of money.
Angry Tiger's Den, this was an older comment from before the interview, but this is still a very good comment.
I was in federal prison.
No way you can kill yourself, especially in the security level Epstein was in.
24-hour surveillance.
Guards check on you every 15 minutes.
Well, you know, not Epstein's guards.
They just got drowsy.
They needed a little nap.
Sometimes you just need to take a snooze.
Real Jason Barker.
It should be easy to show the same missing minute from all the cameras on the system with the same timestamp.
Yeah, there's so many ways they could easily go about verifying some of this.
At least...
I'm sure they have ways of faking it, but they could at least do that and say, see, look, it happens the same way every time.
But they don't even do that.
We're going to get back.
Bondi was saying that she would prove that it's just the system by releasing more tapes with a missing minute.
As though they couldn't remove a minute themselves.
You know, we're claiming that, oh, you've removed this.
No, look, here's more of it with that minute removed.
And if they released more footage of more cameras with missing minutes, that still wouldn't prove anything.
That's right.
And even if it were the truth, it still wouldn't prove anything.
They could do this in time with the missing minute.
That's right.
You could easily chop out a one-minute segment in any video editing program.
It would take you seconds.
None of this would prove anything.
Oh, look, see, it does the exact same thing.
It's not that we paid some intern to chop this video.
Like I said, we're going to get back to Epstein.
We're going to talk about the victim.
This is the article from WorldNet Daily.
We're not that bleeping stupid.
Epstein rape victim goes scorched earth on Liar Trump.
We played you that video right before Tony's interview, so I won't repeat it.
But I'll read another video of her that just came out in the deck.
Yes.
Wow, Donald Trump, American government, your government kidnapped me, Bryant began.
And we'll play part of that video right now.
Wow, Donald Trump, America, government.
Your government kidnapped me.
You promised the Epstein list.
Victims have been found dead.
Hello.
I mean, the whole reason you gained presidency, Trump, was because of promising the Epstein List.
That's right.
Are you as much of a liar as them?
Seems like.
You know, and thank goodness for Elon Musk for actually standing up for what's right.
You know, it's funny how only South Africans stand up, because where are the other 200 Epstein victims?
That's right.
I'm going to cut that off real quick, because she does swear there, And that would be, I'd have to cut out that not some White House intern.
But she is right.
She is right to be incensed.
They are spitting on the victims of this.
Nothing to see here move along.
It is disgusting to me.
She's speaking out.
She is rightfully furious with Donald Trump.
You're still talking about that?
Yeah, I think she might still be.
You promised the Epstein list.
Victims are being found dead.
Are you as much of a liar as them?
Yeah, I think he might be.
I think he just might be as much of a liar as anyone else in politics.
And of course, I think we might know why we're not getting that list.
I've shown this picture many times, but you can see it again.
They were good buddies.
They were friends.
They floated in the same circles.
They knew each other.
Melania, Donnie, Jeffrey, and Ghislaine.
You can see them right there.
Wonder why we're not getting that list.
Says, thank goodness for Elon Musk for actually standing up for what's right.
It's funny how only South Africans stand up because where are the other 200 Epstein victims?
Although maybe they're too frightened to speak up because of the American government.
The American government does have a long history of silencing whistleblowers.
Sometimes it just seems like they show up dead.
No particular reason why.
It was rule to suicide.
They managed to shoot themselves two times in the back of the head.
They were quite determined.
Well, I speak for all of them.
I speak for all the victims.
How dare your government abuse, rape, and murder?
We'll be coming for you.
Don't you worry, government.
You can sit there and pretend that Epstein didn't exist and that none of this happened, but guess what?
We're not that stupid.
This does seem to be a sort of catalyst, a moment, a clarity for many people.
Even the MAGA movement, as deluded as many of them are, are starting to question.
They're starting to look at it and go, this isn't right.
This is what you promised.
This is what you ran on.
This is part of the reason we voted for you.
Because you said you would release this.
We wanted to know the truth about the corruption.
You said you were going to drain the swamp, Donald, but you didn't.
Some of them are beginning to realize and wake up.
Burning their MAGA hats.
Don't frag me, bro.
Who introduced Melania to Trump, Ghislaine Maxwell?
And Jeffrey Epstein, who was Melania working for at the time, Victoria's Secret owned Les Wexner.
That's right.
They're all a part of this large, incestuous just back and forth.
These circles that feed into each other.
It's this Ouroboros of corruption and pedophilia.
Don't frag me, bro, who gave Jeffrey Epstein his million dollar mansion, Les Wexner?
Who is linked to the Nexium sex cult, Les Wexner?
How close does someone in political power have to be to two of the biggest sex trafficking scandals before it is too close?
Good question.
We may never know.
Ben Shapiro believe that Jeffrey Epstein killed himself and there is no client list.
Oh, well, if Ben Shapiro says it's so, it must be.
He might be the only person that believes it.
I wonder why.
I wonder why Ben Shapiro is covering up for this.
Couldn't be because of some Assad ties, could it, Ben?
I wonder It truly is amazing.
I've never understood how people took Ben Shapiro seriously.
I never...
He's deeply involved in keeping America doing Israel's bidding.
Full stop, the trilateral commission has erased its blackmailer-in-chief, Jeffrey Epstein.
This is by Patrick Wood.
This should be the moment that the American people throw the lies, deception, and abject corruption back in the face of government officials.
Or it could have been the moment in March 2020 when the lockdowns and the phony pandemic kicked off.
It could have been then.
Epstein was a technocrat, a transhuman, and most importantly, he was a member of the Trilateral Commission.
As such, he was the head of blackmail operations to keep key globalist players in line.
Now the trilateral hammer has struck to crush all of their narratives, including the tens of thousands of videos of secretly recorded sex tapes on Epstein's Island.
Trump jumped to the shark when asked about Epstein.
Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?
Are you still bringing that up?
That's old news.
Who cares?
Move along.
We told you there's nothing to see.
Jeffrey Epstein, it left some lingering mysteries of one of the biggest ones, Intelligence Agency, the former labor secretary who was intelligence agency.
Sure.
Could I just interrupt for a second?
Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?
This guy's been talked about for years.
You're asking, we have Texas, we have this, we have all of the things.
And are people still talking about this?
Are people still talking about this?
Who cares?
Move along.
I told you there's nothing to see.
I wonder.
I wonder why he's so insistent on it.
Getting very incensed.
When Pam Bondi says the Epstein had no client list, this was a clever play on words.
There may be no evidence that he extorted money from his victims, but the nature of this level of blackmail would only be to force compliance to a certain narrative or event.
Thus, these are not clients in the normal sense.
Further, Bondi claimed that the thousands of videos recovered were simply child porn and nothing else.
Yet there was testimony that all videos made of subjects in sexually compromised positions were stored Off-site or in the cloud.
As perplexity points out, some former staff and associates have claimed that video footage was not only recorded locally, but also uploaded or backed up to cloud-based storage or remote servers.
This was not child porn.
That's Patrick Wood, the editor.
I can imagine that there probably is that involved as well.
And of course, no one is asking for that to be made public.
No one wants to see that.
But we do have the right.
We need to know who was involved.
This strikes at the core of the corruption in the American government.
We know that we are run by satanic, evil people.
I literally feel sick right now.
After waiting for years for the truth about Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking operation to come out and after months of being promised that stunning new information would be released soon, now we're being told to forget the entire thing.
People that were brought in to run the Justice Department and the FBI were supposed to restore faith in the system, but instead they are destroying it.
Nobody that can think rationally is buying the lies that we are being fed.
Apparently, we are supposed to believe that Jeffrey Epstein didn't have a client list.
He never blackmailed anyone.
He was solely responsible for his own death.
That's right, they sack lies on top of lies.
Each one less believable than the last.
The fact he had no client list is even more absurd than the fact that he killed himself.
It's more ridiculous and unbelievable.
A Justice Department and FBI review of the investigation related to disgraced late financier Jeffrey Epstein found that there was no client list or evidence that he blackmailed prominent figures according to a memo detailing the findings.
The review also concluded that Epstein died by suicide while in custody at a Manhattan correctional facility in August 2019.
Epstein was facing federal sex trafficking charges, and his death was subsequently investigated by the Justice Department's internal watchdog and the FBI.
That's right.
Well, he just killed himself.
He was a lone wolf.
Nothing to see here.
He's dead.
Move on.
Stop talking about it.
The Justice Department and the FBI are now facing an unprecedented credibility problem because millions of us simply do not believe them.
It is the single greatest pushback I've seen.
So many people, it has been a recurring thing for people to remind others.
Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself.
You'll see it randomly posted on the internet or be put into memes that seem to have no bearing on it.
It'll just show up at the bottom as a random aside.
And remember, Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself.
Many, many people have been deeply invested in this, been wondering about it for years.
After everything that has happened, the American people deserve some answers.
The following are 12 important questions that all Americans should be asking about the shameful attempt to cover up the truth about Jeffrey Epstein.
Number one, why were Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell arrested and charged with operating an enormous sex trafficking ring that supposedly involved thousands of clients if no such clients ever existed?
I'm sorry, how can you charge someone with that crime if there aren't any clients?
We're supposed to believe that all the powerful men that visited Epstein's Island were just there to catch some waves and relax.
That's right.
They were just hanging out, just having a good old time.
Why did U.S. Attorney General Pambongy tell Fox News in February that Epstein's client list was sitting on my desk right now to review if no such client list ever existed?
Of course, now they're walking it back.
Oh, that's not what I meant.
I just meant the general files of the case, not the client list.
Sorry, I misspoke.
What was in the thousands of documents related to the Epstein case that were suddenly discovered in February?
Number four, when Bondi claimed that the Epstein flight logs would make you sick in March, what did she mean by that?
Yeah.
If there was no one that was involved with it, if he wasn't providing these powerful people with things that would make you sick, what was on the flight list?
Why would it make you sick then?
Well, I mean, maybe she's saying you'll be sickened by the actions of your government not releasing it.
I feel pretty sick right now.
Yeah, that's right.
It made you sick.
Number five, in May, Bonnie confessed that there were tens of thousands of videos related to the Epstein investigation.
What was in those videos?
She said in May that the FBI was reviewing tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children or child porn.
Number six, other than Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, why isn't anyone else that was involved in the sex trafficking operation ever been arrested?
That's right.
Why?
Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine were just the public face of it.
These were the ones that were running the operation.
But who are they running it for?
And who was caught up in it?
Also, they say there's tens of thousands of hours of footage, but then, oh, don't worry, it's all just child porn with only Jeffrey Epstein.
Like, did he do anything else?
He recorded tens of thousands of hours of just himself.
How much time did he have for this?
Number seven, the memo that was released on Sunday night says that there will be no further disclosure.
In this case, does this mean that the Trump administration's search for the truth ends here?
I think the people in charge already know the truth.
They don't need to search it out because they were probably some of the people involved.
They know what's missing because they're what's missing.
8.
The memo also states that there is no evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties.
Does this mean that none of the men that were having sex with underage girls will ever be brought to justice?
That's probably exactly what that means.
On the night that Epstein died, why were there so many strange coincidences?
The jail had been told Epstein should have a cellmate and that a guard must check on him every 30 minutes, but on the night he died, his cellmate was transferred and not replaced, and he was not checked on as often as required.
Two guards fell asleep at their desks and later falsified their records.
Meanwhile, two cameras in front of Epstein's cell malfunctioned that night, while another's footage was unusable.
Quote unquote.
What does unusable mean?
Hours of video footage from outside Epstein's cell on the night that he died has been released.
Did you think they wouldn't notice that a full minute had been cut out of the video footage?
Now we can confirm that an entire minute was cut from the DOJ video that was released last night.
Why?
What are they hiding?
11.
During the time that Elon Musk had an unprecedented access to the government's computer systems, did he learn some startling truths about the Episcopal investigation?
Well, personally, I would be surprised.
I would be very surprised if they are keeping this on some drive or some computer that's attached to the network that someone could access.
Again, I don't think they're in the habit of keeping this type of blackmail available for just anyone to see.
I bet they do keep copies of it, but probably locked away someplace very specific.
You know, maybe someplace like Tel Aviv.
Why was this memo about the Epstein case released to the public late on Sunday night on the 4th of July weekend?
Were they hoping that it would make as little news as possible?
That's right.
They love to release these bombshell stories around holidays when it's bad news.
When it's something that they want to blow over, they'll drop it around Christmas or the 4th of July or these other times where people aren't paying as close of attention, where they're busy with family and enjoying themselves.
Don't worry about this.
Just go shoot off some fireworks.
They're lying to our faces.
They're convinced that they are totally getting away with it.
Well, I can imagine why they'd be convinced.
They're getting away with it.
They seem to get away with it continually.
They seem to get away with it over and over again.
And of course, Trump has gotten away with everything so far.
MAGA refusing to admit that it's his fault that the jabs were rolled out.
Giving us warp speed, putting Fauci in charge, locking us down.
January 6th.
He's gotten away with it over and over again, but people don't want to talk about that.
They don't want to admit that.
Karen Carpenter, 27.
Epstein was deep into eugenics and transhumanism.
Les Wexner funded so horrendous brain research.
Epstein was, I mean, he was obviously a very sick pervert, but he was also into some very strange and weird transhumanist things as well.
We have a video about some of that on the board.
It's talking about the cloning stuff that he was connected to.
We'll probably play that tomorrow.
Stevies, I signed up through DavidNight.gold.
Why is Wolf Gold today?
Well, thank you very much, Steve Ebbs.
Steve Ebbs?
Stevies?
We appreciate it.
Cannot thank you enough.
Real Jason Barker, according to there being no list and it was just child porn, there should be no trafficking, right?
Yes.
That's what is the strangest about this.
She's in jail for trafficking.
But to who?
Well, nobody.
Nobody.
Nobody got trafficked to anyone.
It was just trafficked in general.
We're going to take a quick break.
When we come back, we're going to look at RFK Jr. and how he's being sued over his COVID-19 vaccine recommendations.
Stay with us, folks.
We'll be right back.
PIANO PLAYS
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
Using free speech to free minds.
It's the David Knight Show.
David Knight Show.
*music*
Decoding the mainstream propaganda.
It's the David Knight Show.
Welcome back, folks.
As I said, we're going to get into vaccines now.
RFK Jr. hit with lawsuit over changes to COVID vaccine policies for kids and pregnant women.
Of course, he only removed the recommendation, but this 42-page lawsuit filed on Monday has six medical groups, alleges the change to the COVID-19 vaccine recommendations are baseless and uninformed.
The truth is that the Approval of the jabs was baseless and uninformed.
They didn't do any real studies on it.
They didn't test it for safety.
Now, of course, the change to the recommendation is baseless and uninformed.
And placed pregnant women and children at grave and immediate risk.
Lawsuit's lead plaintiff, the American Academy of Pediatrics, lists Merck, Sanofi, and Moderna among its donors.
Surprise, surprise.
I wonder why they would be filing this lawsuit.
It couldn't be because Moderna wants to keep making that money hand over fist.
It was incredibly profitable for them.
The 42-page lawsuit filed Monday by six medical groups alleges the changes to the COVID-19 vaccine recommendations are baseless and uninformed, and place pregnant women and children at grave and immediate risk.
That's right, grave and immediate risk.
You've got to get it.
Otherwise, you're going to spread, what was it, the Nimbus variant now?
Six medical organizations are suing Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and several other public health officials and agencies over recent changes to the COVID-19 vaccine recommendations for children and pregnant women.
According to the 42-page lawsuit filed Monday in federal court in Boston, the new recommendations are baseless and informed in place.
Pregnant women and children at grave risk.
Risk of what, though?
COVID isn't a risk.
People have stopped caring.
Remember?
They've been trying to drum up fear, but it's not working the way it used to.
A lawsuit alleges the changes will lead to decreased rates of vaccination, increased rates of transmission, long-lasting illness, and ultimately deaths among pregnant women, unborn children, and all children.
The complaint also claims Kennedy violated federal law when he issued an internal directive to change the recommendations instead of following the long-standing process.
It's been long-standing.
It's got the long-standing process of not doing any tests and just saying that it's safe and effective because it's profitable.
Exactly.
You can't violate that long-standing process.
We're making so much money.
And of course, this Pfizer and Moderna-backed organization that's suing them is complaining that this was removed from being recommended to pregnant women after it was proven that it is harmful to them.
They can still take it if they want it, but it's no longer recommended.
They're annoyed.
Plaintiffs include the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American College of Physicians, the American Public Health Association, the Infectious Disease Society of America, Massachusetts Public Health Association, the Society for Maternal Fetal Medicine, and a physician named in the complaint as Jane Doe, who's 20 weeks pregnant and allegedly faces barriers to access the vaccine.
Because it's no longer recommended?
This is absurd.
Yes, I'm facing barriers to access to the vaccine.
How?
How pushed it on me, therefore I'm facing a barrier.
I forgot to ask for it.
They didn't tell me about it.
That I needed to take it, so this is a barrier to my access.
The fact that she's only named as Jane Doe also raises flags to me.
I think if you are so deeply concerned about this, if you are so moved as to file a lawsuit, why wouldn't you put your name on it?
This isn't something to be ashamed of, right?
Also, it says that Jane Doe is a physician.
A physician can't get it?
It's not being restricted.
It's just not recommended.
Surely, if you're a physician, couldn't you just request it yourself?
Again, raises questions to me.
Why wouldn't you put your name on it?
Could it be because you don't want people to know if you've actually taken the vaccine?
Could it be because if you do take the vaccine and something goes wrong with a pregnancy, you don't want people to know as well?
This is all just speculation on my part.
She doesn't want to have her name associated with pushing what she knows will eventually be proven to be harmful to pregnant women.
Well, not eventually.
It's already been proven, but it's just not well known yet.
Yes.
Again, why not sign your name?
Put your John Hancock on it.
The plaintiffs seek an injunction against the directive, request the restoration of the COVID-19 vaccines to the list of recommended immunizations for pregnant women and healthy children.
Again, the barrier to access is ridiculous.
We've seen how many doctors, even without it being recommended, how they still push vaccines, how eager they are to still meet their insurance quotas.
Do you think doctors still aren't out there eagerly awaiting to give you the COVID vaccine?
I can't believe it.
I don't think there's any possible scenario where this woman was denied a COVID vaccine.
It's utterly unbelievable and ridiculous.
Pharma has tremendous financial incentive to preserve the status quo.
Attorney Richard Hughes IV, a professional lecturer in law at Georgia Washington University Law School, according to the New York Times, is leading the effort to challenge the directive, said Kennedy aims to destroy vaccines.
He aims to destroy them.
If only that were the case.
Kennedy has been remarkably relaxed when it comes to vaccines.
He is just simply saying, don't recommend this anymore.
Just don't push it as hard.
And that's enough to have them go apoplectic.
But according to Kim Mack Rosenberg, General Counsel for Children's Health Defense, the medical cartel, funded extensively by the pharmaceutical industry, has tremendous financial incentive to preserve the status quo.
Carl Jablonowski, PhD, senior researcher, senior research scientist for CHD, noted that the lawsuit fails to mention the several plaintiffs, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American College of Physicians, and the Infectious Disease Society of America, received millions of dollars from the CDC to promote COVID-19 injections.
We're not going to mention that.
We're not going to talk about the ludicrous amounts of money we were paid to push this.
We're not going to talk about the amounts of money that we were paid to inject people with poison.
Just keep recommending it.
People who make a lot of money pushing COVID vaccines want to force a recommendation for more COVID vaccines, Djblanowski said.
The AAP, for instance, lists pharma giants Merck, Sanofi, and COVID-19 vaccine manufacturer Moderna among its donors.
The organization also closely collaborates with corporations such as Coca-Cola.
Last month, two of the plaintiffs, the AAP and the ACP, signed on to the Vaccine Integrity Project, a new initiative seeking to bypass public health authorities through creation of a non-governmental vaccine system for vaccine recommendations and purchasing.
These people really care about your health.
They want you to take the vaccines and drink lots of Coke.
That's right.
Also, these two of the plaintiffs, people who are complaining that they didn't follow, that RFK didn't follow the correct process, the long-standing process, are now seeking to bypass the entire system.
A non-governmental vaccine system is what they want to set up.
They don't seem to have much respect for the process, not when it's to their benefit, not when it's about them making money, not when it'll make it easier for them.
No, you can't violate the process, RFK.
It's long-standing.
It makes us a lot of money.
Oh no, we're going to set up a new non-governmental agency.
The COVID vaccine could already be considered non-governmental in that it passed all of the actually long-standing government safety checks for new medication and was pushed to the market with no testing.
No time for that.
No time.
We've got to get this out there.
You've got to take it.
We're not going to do any research about the dangers it poses.
It doesn't matter because we're protected anyway.
It doesn't matter what we do to you.
You can't sue us.
The group is funded by I Alumbra, a nonprofit, founded by Walmart heiress and billionaire philanthropist, Christie Walton, known for her anti Trump advocacy.
Well, you would think she would be all about Donald Trump since he's the one that gave us warp speed.
Some friendly fire going on there.
doctor Jane Orient, executive director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, suggested that the organization suing Kennedy may be concerned that evidence will come to light questioning the safety and efficacy of vaccines.
We can't have that.
We can't have people being given information that perhaps vaccines aren't as harmless as they've been led to believe.
Can't have them learning about the dangers.
That would impact our bottom line.
Orient said these organizations evidently consider themselves to be the ultimate authorities on all vaccines and seem to feel threatened by the possibility that a government advisory committee might not agree with their position that all approved or recommended vaccines are safe and effective and necessary.
Mac Rosenberg said the liability shield that vaccine manufacturers enjoy allows them to exercise incredible hubris, adding that they desperately fear loss of this extraordinary protection.
That's right.
They're petrified over that.
No, you can't take that away from us.
If you do, that means this product basically evaporates overnight.
So many people are injured and damaged and killed by these.
The whole you can't do any research yourself, just trust the experts, we know what's good for you, and any personal research is evil was something that you heard a lot of back when the lockdown first started.
You don't hear it too much now that they've had so much press coverage of the horrific adverse effects of this and the people that did their own research and refused to take it turned out to be in the correct position.
But yet this group still has the audacity to still stick to that very same outlook of just trust the government and do not do your own research.
And they apparently have their target audience picked out because they're going after pregnant women after that specifically has been proven to be especially harmful.
Well, I mean, we know that they love depopulation.
They love harming children.
However, they can go about it.
The irony of the changes to COVID-19 JABS recommendations is that they actually empower physicians to do their job and provide individualized medical care to their patients.
One asks to ask why these entities fear that.
Of course, it's because they worry that this might be the beginning of a domino effect.
If you remove the recommendation, some people might ask, well, why is the recommendation removed?
They might start to look into things.
They might go, oh, so it was proven to be harmful.
Was another vaccine proven to be harmful?
Wait a minute.
This other vaccine over here is dangerous?
This one over here is dangerous as well?
They might begin to wonder why these companies are protected from all kinds of liability.
Because as I said, if the liability protection goes away, this market dries up overnight.
With the number of people they injure each year, the number of people they kill each year with these products, they would be sued into the ground instantaneously.
One of the best things they could do is remove this and remove it retroactively.
Anyone that was injured over the course of these injections, dating back to when the immunity was put in place, should be allowed to sue them.
First, do no harm.
That's the essence of the Hippocratic oath.
First, do no harm, and they've ignored that.
These companies should be sued into oblivion.
They should be ruined.
They should be crushed so that they can never resurface.
Each one of these, they're some of the greatest mass murderers, some of the worst people that the world has ever produced.
It is truly amazing And truly despicable.
They're not doing vaccinated versus unvaccinated studies because they're frightened of the results.
That's right, we've got RFK talking about that.
And again, RFK has gone a little bit weak in the knees when it comes to these things, but he's still doing some good things.
And we can hope that he continues to.
It's better than nothing.
Not doing vaccinated versus unvaccinated studies because they're frightened of the results.
If you did a vaccinated versus unvaccinated study, we know what's going to happen.
The entire vaccine program would come into question.
That's right.
The entire program would come into question.
It would be the first domino, as I said.
People would begin to look at things and wonder, well, why is this that way?
Why are they protected?
Official data, vaccines caused far more deaths than COVID.
Official U.S. federal government data has revealed that COVID vaccines have caused a staggering 4.7 times as many deaths as the virus they were supposedly meant to tackle.
And of course, we saw the way they inflated the death numbers.
The most, or one of the most famous cases being the man who crashed his motorcycle and died in the accident.
But they tested him with a PCR test and found COVID in his system, and they ruled it a COVID death.
How many COVID deaths were like that?
How many went unreported?
How many were just added to the pile?
How overinflated was the death toll?
Veteran broadcaster Stephen Gruber is among a growing chorus of media figures expressing major concerns about the soaring deaths, disease, and injuries caused by COVID vaccines long after public demand has plummeted and serious questions have mounted.
Gruber recently hosted renowned cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough on his show on Real America's Voice.
Dr. McCullough gave a blunt and chilling assessment when asked the blunt and chilling assessment that the vaccines are the things that did the real damage.
They killed more.
They injured more.
As we keep saying, we don't know what the long-term effects of these will be.
We're still only dealing with the short-term ramifications.
We don't know what's coming down the line.
We don't know how it's going to impact things like fertility, how it's going to impact the children of women and men that have been dosed with this.
Hospitals were paid to administer this poison.
Hospitals were paid to ventilate people, to give them remdesophyr.
This was one of, if not the, greatest crime against humanity that has ever been perpetrated.
Spike in rapid-onset autoimmune rheumatic diseases caused by COVID vaccines, study warns.
Don't worry, guys.
I promise I didn't get the vaccine.
Mine was acquired all natural.
How many ways?
How many ways will the Trump shots harm people?
How many ways will they kill people?
A major new study has just delivered another crushing blow to the crumbling narrative that COVID vaccines are universally safe and affected.
The peer-reviewed study has confirmed that the injections are triggering new onset autoimmune rheumatic diseases, ARDs, in previously healthy people.
The study was led by Dr. A. Khabazi Oksue and Dr. S. Tassini Tekantepe of the Connected Tissue Disease Research Center at Tabriz University Medical Sciences in Iran.
I'm sure that's not on their list of places to bomb.
Of course, it's not just the COVID vaccine that has been injuring people.
It's all the others as well.
It's been going on for years.
The results of this study were published in the medical journal Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases.
Their findings add to the growing list of harms that many doctors, whistleblowers, and vaccine injure patients have been warning about since 2021.
The study confirms that the experimental COVID shots are triggering rapid-onset ARDs in previously healthy adults, especially in those with underlying genetic or immune vulnerabilities.
Really makes you wonder, as someone with rheumatoid arthritis, I wonder what it would do to me.
In one of the most comprehensive analyses of its kind, the researchers followed PRISMA guidelines to systematically comb through the medical literature.
From 2020 through September 2024, the researchers sought to identify case reports of autoimmune rheumatic disorders emerging within 30 days of COVID vaccination in individuals with no prior history of such diseases.
After filtering through 715 articles, they confirmed 372 verified cases of post-vaccine autoimmune rheumatic diseases.
They were not mild or ambiguous reactions, however.
They included vasculitis, connective tissue diseases, inflammatory arthritis, and more.
In the study's paper, the researchers revealed that the disturbing patterns began to emerge.
Nearly 9 in 10 cases, 87%, occurred within two weeks of receiving a COVID injection, a median of just seven days between injection and disease onset.
87% of the cases they found occurred within two weeks.
They just showed up.
Two weeks.
Women were hit hardest, making up 63% of the cases, and the average age was 55.
Majority of injuries followed the first or second dose.
The exact shots marketed as necessary for full protection.
That's right.
You've got to get this shot.
It's necessary.
You have to do it for public health.
You're going to kill grandma.
No, we didn't do any safety studies.
We're not sure what it's going to do to you.
We don't care.
Take it.
Take it and make us a lot of money.
MRNA vaccines Pfizer and Moderna were implicated in two-thirds, 67% of all cases.
The most damning finding was a statistically significant correlation between Pfizer's mRNA vaccine and autoimmune onset with an odds ratio of 3.25.
Figure shows that patients receiving Pfizer's mRNA shot were more than three times as likely to develop an autoimmune rheumatic disease than those receiving other types.
Among the Most commonly triggered diseases: vasculitis, 50.8%, connective tissue disease, 23.9%, inflammatory arthritis, 18.5%, including dangerous and complex conditions like ANCA associated with vasculitis, polymyalgia, polymyalgia rheumatica, giant cell arteriitis, idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, cutaneous small vessel vasculitis.
The study reveals a tragic outcome for a product that was supposed to stop the spread.
And of course, we re-elected the man that gave it to us.
MAGA couldn't wait to get him back in office.
Isn't it wonderful?
He's back.
He's draining the swamp.
He's going to reveal the truth about Jeffrey Epstein.
He's going to stop the wars.
Oh, wait.
Hold on.
I'm getting an update.
He didn't do that.
Whoops.
I guess.
We were sold a bill of goods.
Con, think.
Thank you for the tip.
Wearing a necktie improves your credibility.
10 out of 10 talking heads agree.
Well, gosh darn it.
I'm outvoted.
10 out of 10?
I wasn't consulted in this.
Don't I count as a talking head?
Man, you do what you can, and you still can't make it in the talking heads game.
Oh well.
Real Jason Varker.
The silence from the left is deafening.
They're all implicated or else they would be all over Trump about the list.
That's very true.
They hate Trump.
They will take any opportunity they can to take shots at him.
Deserved and undeserved.
And here, where he is most definitely deserving of it, they're silent.
They're not saying a thing.
I wonder why.
Maybe the orders came down from on high.
Let this one go.
Nuh-uh.
Not this one.
Too many people are implicated.
Shadowboxer.
All COVID profit by hospitals and pharma is blood money.
That's right.
They killed people for money.
They've been doing it for decades at this point.
We've mentioned it over and over again.
But the protocols that were in place, the amount of money they could get for putting someone on a ventilator, you would make it back whatever it cost to get the ventilator.
I can't remember the exact number, but I think they would make something between like $30,000 a day if they were able to ventilate someone.
They would very rapidly, within the first day or two, make their money back on whatever it costs them to buy it.
And after that, it's nothing but profit.
And you can just keep putting new people on there.
Because as a general rule, once people were put on the ventilators, they didn't make it.
It was an incredibly lethal treatment protocol.
Remdesivir as well.

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